I haven't really gotten attached to any of the fish, but Charlotte is my favorite. She is trooper, she was able to live on raisin bran flakes and orange peels until i finally caved and went and bought her some food. She is a heifer, every day when i come home surfaces in anticipation of food, and then devours everything I give her.
We have no clue who is doing this. Or why. But I find it entertaining and thought I would share it with all of you.

Signe Lidén (1981) is an artist based in Bergen and Amsterdam. Her installations and performances examine man-made landscapes and their resonance. She is interested in how places and their histories resonate; in memory, through narratives and various materials, as ideological manifestations and political territories. Her work spans from sound installations, sculpture, video and performance to more documentary forms such as sound essays and archives.
Lidén's project Vertical Studies: Acoustic Shadows and Boundary Reflections (2017) is a collaboration with Espen Sommer Eide and was realised at the Sonic Acts Festival (Amsterdam) and Borealis Festival (Bergen). She made the performance Altitude and History (2016) and krysning/пересечение/conflux (2014) for the Dark Ecology project in Nikel (on the Russian Kola peninsula), the installation series Writings for Resonance, a residency programme of the European Sound Art Network (2013-14), and collaborated with Steve Rowell and Annesofie Norn on The Cold Coast Archive (2010-12), a project about the Global Seed Vault launched at the Centre for PostNatural History. She was commissioned to make works for SALT, Volt, the Hordaland Art Center, Kunsthall Oslo, Ny Musikk, Touch Radio, and the Interferenze New Arts Festival, among others.

Today I recieved a call from an old friend and I was so blessed by the conversation. It reminds me to stay in touch with those family and friends that I love. Time flies and I know I get busy, but I need to remember that God made us for relationships.
This weeks BSF lesson was amazing!! It really is wonderful to read in the old testiment and realize just how orderly God was and how much He loves us. I was able to see the ten commandments in a whole new way this week, by really studying them and seeing just what God was telling me on each one of them. How short I have fallen on some of them, but how amazing is His grace and mercy.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I love this time of year. Good food, family, games, putting up the tree and Christmas music starts. Woohoo. I am exicted!!

Sandy Sidhu, an aspiring young artist is playing a recurring role as Dr. Mehta in the military science fiction television series, Stargate Universe. Sandy Sidhu and her co-stars launched Afternoon Tea at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2011. The film was selected for 2011's Shorts Cut Canada Programme at the 36th TIFF. Afternoon Tea is among the 40 short films selected.
Born and raised in BC, Sandy first entered the spotlight by representing her hometown as the Nanaimo Princess Ambassador from 2003-2004. Sandy has received a degree in Cell Biology and Genetics at the University of British Columbia.
What does Cell Biology has to do with acting, you may wonder.
"Some might find that the polar opposite of acting but I've always been creative. I started doing theatre when I was fourteen years old and I've been drawing since I was a kid," she explains.
As a young artist who has embarked on a challenging career, Sandy believes that the South Asian artists can make it to the mainstream.
For herself, she tells Generation Next "I see an exciting future ahead. Increasingly you see more and more South Asians on screen. Just the other day I saw 30 Minutes or Less with Aziz Ansari. There are numerous TV shows airing right now that have main cast members who are South Asians, and looking at blockbuster hits like Slumdog Millionaire and Bend It Like Beckham you can see the demand. It's a fortunate time to be in the industry as just twenty years ago it would've been a very different landscape and most likely much more difficult to attempt."
"I definitely think there's acceptance. Sure, the North American industry hasn't quite got to the point of seeing a South Asian Batman yet (And that is something I'd love to see). If there any barriers, then it's up to people in my generation to break through those and make it happen," she adds.
While the mainstream may be open to visible minorities, are communities' like the South Asian community open to accepting the community's newest stars?
"The South Asian Community is incredibly supportive. There might be more apprehension or fear to attempt a career so different, but I think that's about it. And that's a universal feeling, not one limited to just our community," she stated.
As a young actress, Sandy believes that getting good roles may be a bit of a challenge.
"..it would be having stronger characters and not just being boxed into roles that are just the girlfriend, the wife. Not that those roles can't be fascinating themselves but to stretch people's current expectations and explore different aspects of a woman's psyche. I'd also love to continue to see more film projects with a woman that completely carries the film."
As far as the stereotypes like arranged marriages go, Sandy says "although I wouldn't choose to be in one, I have nothing against arranged marriages because I know people who've had success with it."
How about social issues like honour killings?
"I have zero tolerance for it. It's appalling and nonsensical. I grew up with the mentality that we choose our love, that we choose our passions, and that to live our life with freedom is a basic human right we all deserve to have without consequences," she says strongly.
At an individual level, how does she see the relationship between fate and hard work?
Sandy tells us "I believe in both. You can't sit around expect things to just happen for you. I think it's a fusion of working hard and having faith it'll all work out the way it's meant to."

Hi everyone
Due to years of uncontrollable head sweats I was started on a course of meds to help reduce the sweats. All this did was make my eyes dry, drink lots retain fluid and in general didn't do much.
So after a referral from my rheumatologist to a lovely dermatologist he suggested Botox injections into the scalp.
This is now happening on Tuesday of next week.
Has anyone else had this done? If you had I'd love to here from you.

This was a "quick" answer to another post in my company blog (no, no public access).
My point of view is simple : When considering cloud as a new paradigm, elasticity is a KEY component. Without elasticity, you're just a cloud wannabe.
So speaking strictly of costs, I agree with the affirmation that "Cloud is going from CapEx to OpEx". Though, I would also like to stress the following:
Cloud should allow to decrease the overall of CapEx and OpEx together.
There are mainly two factors to reduce cloud users costs:[3 (slides 7-10)]
- Decreasing CapEx because of dynamism
You're optimizing your infrastructure resources and so buying less infra (or you're simply leasing it)
- Decreasing OpEx because of dynamism & automation
- Costs to add/remove instances, services, etc… are near 0
- Or taking Hamilton's estimates[1], in a very large data center, 1 admin should be able to run >1000 servers alone i.s.o of ~140 in a medium data center.
- It seems that for Google it is around 1 admin per 10.000 servers and they have a goal of 1 admin per 100.000 servers ! [2]
- Decreasing OpEx because of an external service:
Indeed, for customers using a public cloud you get rid of storage mgt, system upgrades, ...
- Elasticity:
- Here is a common strategy to buy hardware in a typical Static Data Center
- evaluate what will be the demand peak
- Buy HW supporting twice this demand
- End with a underutilized infrastructure (typically 10-20% resources usage on average)
- Elasticity enables customers to pay only for what you are really consuming!
- The "pay as you go" business model … because you don't have to overprovision your infrastructure.
- The "pay as you grow" model, for the services growing suddenly, you're able to service the demand as it's growing. While if you had to acquire/install infrastructure, you should have a good capacity planning and having good estimates which is not an obvious task.
- Good to note that Private Cloud Leaders like Google, Amazon & al started to sell their cloud because it enables to amortize their own cloud infrastructure by monetizing their idle time.
- Here is a common strategy to buy hardware in a typical Static Data Center
- Economies of Scale
- Here are costs presented by Hamilton for current typical data centers Resources
- Cost in medium DCCost in Very Large DCRatioNetwork$95 / Mbps / month$13 / Mbps / month7.1xStorage$2.20 / GB / month$0.40 / GB / month5.7xAdmin~140 servers / admin>1000 servers / admin7.1x
- Also, I would like to remember is that it is not a projection. And as engineers, we should also think in terms of what we'll get tomorrow . IOW, the economies of scale will be yet an order of magnitude higher for exascale data centers.
- It means that costs difference between medium and large data centers are between 5-7x ! Huge difference. In the case of Google, some speaks of 100x ! [1, 2]
By considering only these 2 points, it is easy to understand why there is a high probability customers would like to use the cloud to admin their services, even steady one. To name them, because of capacity planning and economies of scale.
Of course, when you want to adopt cloud you have to consider some others characteristics like network bandwidth & storage bottlenecks or some business ones like data confidentiality & auditability, security & vendor lock in.
So when thinking cloud solutions we should always think to the following
- Optimization, Automation, Dynamicity, Resources Synergy, Transparency.
"Pay as You Go" model is something which imposes that you'll bill your customers only what he is actually using. IOW, in the theory, if the CPU of one server is idle, he is not using this server and should not be billed.
"Pay as you Grow" model trends is to have instantaneous elasticity. If the one service grows quickly, the infrastructure grows to attend the peak. If one service demand shrinks, infrastructure adapts itself and shrinks too. Of course, customers costs will vary too growing and shrinking but the idea is to get the infrastructure following the demand.
Lowering Costs:
- Any solution to reduce power/cooling costs is welcome.
- Strong emphasis to automate Administration in order to shift people cost from top costs to nearly irrelevant. Remember: 1admin per 100.000 servers!
No good network automation to date : OpenFlow is one option!
Customer should not even know there are several racks, several CPUs, several layers of caches, etc…
In an ideal world, a customer should be able to buy some resources from a Cloud Provider, install its application/service and running it without thinking to provisioning and capacity planning. That's the first step of Cloud Computing.
I would like to see more! Indeed, a customer should not worry about what is the cloud platform (vendor lock-in) he's running on. Standards APIs (similar to POSIX) should exist in order to have guaranteed interoperability between cloud such that if you want to migrate from one cloud to another, it's just a matter of moving your data. Only by then, we'll get to the Cloud OS.

'The visible church, in the idea of the Scottish theologians, is catholic. You have not an indefinite number of Parochial, or Congregational, or National churches, constituting, as it were, so many ecclesiastical individualities, but one great spiritual republic, of which these various organizations form a part. The visible church is not a genus, so to speak, with so many species under it. It is thus you may think of the State, but the visible church is a totum integrale, it is an empire. The churches of the various nationalities constitute the provinces of this empire; and though they are so far independent of each other, yet they are so one, that membership in one is membership in all, and separation from one is separation from all . . . This conception of the church, of which, in at least some aspects, we have practically so much lost sight, had a firm hold of the Scottish theologians of the seventeenth century.' Dr. James Walker in The Theology of Theologians of Scotland. (Edinburgh: Rpt. Knox Press, 1982) Lecture iv. pp.95-6.
It should be clear that Durham shared the view of all the Second Reformation divines who 'had such a conception of the importance of the unity of the church, and such a horror of the evil of schism, and were so firmly convinced that anyone who withdrew from church communion without absolute cause, that is without feeling assured that he could not remain in such fellowship without committing sin, was guilty of a most heinous offence, that they were ready to give their most favorable consideration to any sort of suggestion of reasons why they should refuse to go out of a church, notwithstanding the existence in it of many corruptions against which they must protest.'
Song 6 Verse 2. My Beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
He is 'gone down to his garden,' which implieth the similitude, formerly expressed, of a man's retiring from his chamber or closet to his garden: this 'garden' signifies the church, as chap. 4:12,15, and here, as opposed to gardens, in the words following, it holdeth forth the catholic visible church, as gardens signify particular societies, or congregations: the church is like a garden that is within one precinct, yet divided into divers quarters and inclosures: this being the church that hath the promise of Christ's presence, and where he is ever to be found, must be understood of no particular church, of which that cannot be asserted, that Christ shall be always there: it must therefore be the catholic church, distinguished from particular churches, or gardens.
2. He is gone 'to the beds of spices:' as gardens have distinct plots of flowers, and beds of spices, and some particular parts are allotted for these, where especially they grow; so in the church Christ hath his plants, whereof some are sanctified with grace (therefore compared to spices) and these, in some parts of the visible church, are more abounding than in other parts, (as spices in beds together, that may be elsewhere but in particular stalks and not so frequent) and as men love and frequent that plot of their garden most; so doth Christ most manifest himself in his ordinances ordinarily, where he hath his spices and lilies in greatest abundance: and thus this last part qualifies the former, he is in his church, but especially where his spices are most abounding: and therefore would you have him? Seek him in his church and amongst his people, and especially in such societies of his people, where true and lively believers are most to be found.
Here observe (besides what was observed on chap. 4:12,) Christ's church, tho' it have many subdivisions, yet is it one church; one whole catholic church, whereof particular churches are parts, 1 Cor. 12:28.
2. It is in that church and no where else, that Christ's presence is to be found, and where believers, the spices and lilies are planted.
3. There may be, in that one visible church, many more real converts in one part thereof, than in another; 'spices' in 'beds' are not in every place of the 'garden.'
4. Tho' Christ hath a singular care of, and respect for, his whole church, and hath a peculiar presence there wherever there is any part thereof, yet where he hath much people, beyond what he hath in other places (as in Antioch, Acts 11:21, in Corinth, Acts 18:10, and Ephesus, Acts 19:20,) there especially is he present, and there ordinarily continues he the power and life of his ordinances.
5. Those who desire Christ, should not run out of the church to seek him, or expect any way of finding him, which others have not found out before them but should seek after him by the ordinary means, in his church; for, this answers their question, 'Where is he?' proposed for that end, that they might seek him and find him.
Song 6 verse 9. My dove, my undefiled is but one.
She is one, which sets her out not only with unity in her affections, but (to say so) with a kind of oneness in herself: thus the visible catholic church is one garden, verse 2, comprehending many beds of spices; one church, made up here of many particular churches: and thus, oneness or unity is a great commendation to her, or a special part of her excellency.

Property Rights, Public Good, Campaign Contributions: Will Bill to Limit Local Government Be Revived?

Day 122
After such an eventful day yesterday we woke up groggy and still sore from the bonus miles hiked last night- as we were stalked by a mountain lion.
We rolled out of camp and made our way on the day. Everyone has been a bit quieter as we continue north. We've been at this for over four months. I feel like we are finally letting ourselves become part of the environment, instead of just walking through it. How do I know this? More animals.
It may be hard to believe but bears, mountain lions and rattlesnakes are much more scared of you than the other way around. People tend to ask us two questions: 1. Have you seen any bears 2. Do you carry a gun?
Usually the answer is no and no, and people are surprised. But, when it comes down to it, carrying a handgun on the PCT is ridiculous. It weighs a few pounds; is illegal in national parks; and when it comes down to it, if you were actually attacked by a rabid mountain lion you wouldn't have enough time to take it out of your pack, load a round, aim and shoot before the animals has snapped your spine.
But up and until recently we haven't been in much contact with our larger friends of the mountains. But, as our talks dwindle to long, solitude filled, speechless stretches we are starting to see bear, elk and other big animals for the first time! Besides the mountain lion stalking us last night we haven't been worried by the activity, we usually send the beasts running. Even the swarms of bees buzzing between the endless flowers all day don't care when we knock them off their lunches of sweet pollen.
As we continue to glide through northern California, we find ourselves camped out at the thousand miles left mark point and will step foot in Oregon tomorrow!
I continue to delve into a more meditative, quiet and reflective journey.

Monrovia Church Moving to Make Room for Wine Village
Calvary Chapel Monrovia will be moving. A staff report at the City Council meeting Tuesday said the church - near Myrtle on Evergreen on the south side of the 210, next to the Chevron station - is leasing its property from the city and will have to move to make way for the wine village the city has planned. The church's lease expires at the end of this month.

A freaking Wine Village? Ridiculous.ReplyDelete
Well, more precisely a "Wine Plaza Tuscan Village" http://www.monrovianow.com/2014/10/monrovia-council-wine-plaza-tuscan.htmlReplyDelete

The city should allow the church to stay there. Even Jesus liked wineReplyDelete

We all know the city wants to increase its revenue by this move. Personally I don't see the issue.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 23, 2014 at 4:39 PM
I don't think that is the motivating factor for the city council. The other company that wanted the property was a hotel. Which do you think brings in more revenue for the city?ReplyDelete

Can't answer because I don't know the size and scope of the hotel project. Either way a hotel or wine village is more than a non-profit church. Thanks!ReplyDelete

I hope everyone is having a good day as I am, finally spring is here and my mood is lifted again.
The song I have had in mind for the past hours is Keep Me In Mind, by Cape Cub.
Cape Cub is a solo project created by Chad Male, from Newcastle, in England. He is under the principally indie and alternative record label The Hyve, very popular in UK.
His voice is very direct and smooth, reminding of Aquilo, or The Beach.
Keep Me In Mind is an acoustic love ballad, with simple but effective lyrics, and it is one of the 4 tracks that make up his only EP, Closer. In 2016 he also released three new songs: All I Need, Lifeline, and Heat Of The Night.
He is very promising in the breakthrough section of indie/alternative artists, and I can't help but being curious of his future works.

The summer holidays have started and your kids are starting to moan they are getting bored. A recent study shows that kids are getting bored by as little as ten days into the holidays. How are you going to keep them occupied for another 4+ weeks?
Go swimming
Swimming is a great way to get kids tired out during the holidays, whether you have a local pool or outdoor lido, spending. A couple of hours swimming is a certain boredom buster. Not sure where your local swimming pool is? Click the image below!

The Woodland Trust Website is an amazing resource for bug hunt activities!
Create a bug hotel or butterfly garden
If your little ones are really into bug hunting perhaps you could build a bug hotel. These can be as simple or complicated as you would like. For an easier hotel you can collect old stick and wood from your garden or when out in a forest walk and stack them up on the ground. The idea is to create a compact structure that bugs can take refuge in from predators and weather. More complicated hotels can be build with bamboo, straw and wood to create a structure that could be mounted on a wall. The RSPB Website has a great step by step guide to building your own. Or purchase a pre-made one and watch the bugs move in.
Researching and planting an area in your garden with bee and butterfly friendly flowers is fun for all ages. It's also a task that can motivate kids throughout the holidays as they water and look after their flowers and learn about different species of bees and butterflies. . Teaching kids the value of conservation and fun a garden can hold is great for all ages, young and old. A Buglife Website is a great resource for bug and butterfly friendly gardens, with amazing printables too!.
Day out at the beach
The seaside is full of fun and as its the summer holidays its a great place to visit. Kids love the simplicity of a bucket and spade. Why not make a huge sandcastle and moat, decorating it with shells you have found and flags. If you live near a stony beach you can build a castle with the stones or go crabbing in the rock pools. Want more ideas? Why not visit The Website Gift Of Curiosity for a great printable!

The Gervais Street Bridge Dinner is a celebration of what we have in common, what we treasure, and what we're doing to sustain it.
For the first time in Columbia's history, a thousand people, including 200 first responders as honored guests, dined al fresco on the Gervais Street Bridge. The dinner became a healing event for the flood ravaged cities of Forest Acres, West Columbia, Cayce, and Columbia, as guests applauded the tenacity and bravery of its first responders.
The Gervais Street Bridge Dinner was conceived as a celebration of two cities, distinguished by the powerful Congaree River, a waterway vital to the Midland's ecosystem, and united by the most iconic landmark in the Midlands, the Gervais Street Bridge. The event benefitted three local charities, the Congaree Riverkeeper, Canoeing for Kids, and Harvest Hope Food Bank. The 2016 bridge dinner will add a fourth beneficiary, Heroes in Blue, a non-profit founded by Kassy Alia, whose husband, Forest Acres Officer Greg Alia, died in the line of fire days before the flood. Heroes in Blue is dedicated to bridging the gap between police and the communities they serve.
This spectacular event is a celebration of the real Midlands and Soda Citizens writ large, with live music and performances, local artists, and a dinner in courses, with cocktails, beer, wine, and water.
The 2016 Gervais Street Bridge Dinner is a seated, sunset, Sunday supper for 1,000 people on October 23rd from 4pm to 8pm. Rain date October 30th.

Lagos State Government is leaving no one in doubt of its determination to enforce traffic safety and tighten the loose ends of its transport planning, writes ADEYINKA ADERIBIGBE
Two initiatives, aimed at redefining Lagos State's traffic and transportation architecture, were rolled out by the government last week.
The first was the clampdown on commercial motorcycle operators (okada), which resumed with greater fervor last Tuesday, while the other was the flag-off of the Intelligence Transportation System (ITS) and e-ticketing platform to make transportation more seamless for Lagosians.
Flagging off the ITS at Ojota last Thursday, Ambode said his intention was to make public sector transportation more attractive and erase traffic gridlocks.
"I get so unhappy when I see people standing at bus stops for hours not knowing when the next bus will arrive. We are committed to permanently solving such problems and our people can become more productive and then more comfortable in the way they commute across the city," Ambode said.
He said the ITS, which apart from indicating the positions of the buses and their routes, will start with the Primero BRT buses shuttling the Ikorodu-CMS axis. This, he added, will be scaled up as soon as more buses are introduced and services on other routes join the system.
He disclosed that the government was determined to inject 800 buses in the next two months into the Bus Reform Initiative and 5,000 to be provided within 24 months.
He said with e-ticketing, commuters would be able to plan their disposable incomes.
He said: "The truth is that there are more Lagosians using buses, and more walking on the road than those who own cars and government needs to take proper care of them. That is what all the laybys, ITS and e-ticketing is all about.
"Ultimately, we intend to create an integrated transport management system in the city, combining water, road, rail, air and pedestrian walkways."
He urged residents to cooperate with the government, especially by not patronising motorcyclists as the government is providing alternatives for a safer road travel.
The war to get okada operators off Lagos roads started in 2010, when the former Governor Babatunde Fashola began the implementation of the Strategic Transportation Masterplan (STMP), which aimed at bequeathing a functional transportation system to meet the needs of a megacity.
Though that initial step was resisted, with the okada operators winning at the court, the government soon came up with a traffic law in 2012, which addresses the transportation challenges.
Schedule II of the Road Traffic and Vehicle Inspection Law 2012, specifically restricted okada operations from 465 roads in the 20 local governments and 37 LCDAs, and on 11 highways which are; Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, Oworonshoki- Oshodi Expressway, Lagos-Ikorodu Expressway, Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, Third Mainland Bridge, Eti-Osa/Lekki -Epe Expressway.
Others are: Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Funso Williams Avenue, Agege Motor Road, and Eti-Osa/Lekki Coastal Road.
Though the enforcement of the law has been in breaches since 2012, the renewed onslaught against the okada operators is in furtherance of Ambode's commitment to ensuring safety of road users.
Indications showed that the restriction on okada operations have had a sanitising effect on the state's accident profile. Before 2012, okada- related accident accounted for 70 per cent of admissions at various tertiary and orthopedic hospitals in the state.
A top official in the Ministry of Transportation said there's no going back on the enforcement of the restriction order on okada operation in the state.
He said: "This government is not ready to go back to the pre 2012 era. The government is saying okada is not an acceptable mode of transportation in Lagos State and no amount of intimidation, blackmail, or politicisation of the policy could draw back it's commitment to sanitise the state's transportation system."
Experts say it's gratifying that the present administration is determined to stop the menace of okada.
Commuters say the clampdown has had a telling effect on the transportation pattern in the last one week. They argued that though the original plan was to restrict the operators' operations on major roads, yet, in the current rout, all okada anywhere were impounded by security operatives. The action left commuters stranded. They argued that the operators are in business to eke out a living.
Many of the operators are graduates who, left with no option, gave in to the business, critics of the move argued. They said many have been keeping their homes from proceeds of the business. They wondered what job the government has in store before throwing the operators into the icy embrace of unemployment.
The founder of Safety Without Borders (SWB), Patrick Adenusi, said no smart city ran on the hub of okada. Praising Ambode for his commitment, Adenusi said though there was the social as well as the economic angle to the resilience of the okada operators, yet, on a larger scale, it is an unsustainable mode of transportation for a state ready to play in the big league as a functional, technology-driven and smart state.
The Managing Director of Planet Project, Mr. Biodun Otunola, said with the government's ambitious plans to reform the transportation system, the okada era might have gone for good.
Though the government restricted their operation to inner roads, the fact is that okada does not represent what should be celebrated as a means of commercial operation in any sane state, he argued.
"When the government completes its bus and other transportation reforms, Lagosians would no longer be attracted to okada operators or patronise them for any travel, no matter the distance."
He praised the government for making traffic safety a priority, adding that with the okada off the road, sanity will prevail and road users would be able to use the road more responsibly.
Lagos, with an economy reputed to be the fifth largest in Africa, has been running on an unorganised and informal motorised transportation system.
Ambode said his target was to push Lagos to the number three spot. To achieve this, he has his eyes on improving the ease of doing business. This means more money will stream into the state's purse if it resolves its perennial travel pattern and improves on passenger and cargo travels.
With about nine million of her population commuting daily, an improved transportation system holds the key to unlocking the about N9 billion that exchanges hands in the informal sector daily. Yet more could be made if the six million who walk daily could be captured in the new transportation plan.
Among other sectors, transportation holds the key to the realisation of Ambode's ambition to shore up the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) to N30b monthly this year and to N50b by 2018.
To achieve this, the administration has flagged off some capital projects statewide.
From the BRT lane on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway which terminates at Oshodi, and other interventions in Badagry, Epe and across the 20 local governments and 37 local council development areas, the state has become a construction site of some sort.
Besides delivering 114 roads within the first 18 months, the government is set to begin work on another 118 roads, and that is in spite of landmark projects such as the Oshodi transportation interchange, the Badagry deep sea port, the Blue light rail project and the Abule-Egba-Oshodi Bus Rapid Transit median redevelopment taking shape on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
Barely two months ago, the government flagged off the reconstruction of the Oshodi-International Airport Road, which would be delivered by November 2018.
Lagos' intervention followed Ambode's request to President Muhammadu Buhari to transform the nation's busiest gateway to world-class standard.
He said with vehicular volume averaging 50,000 daily, its present parlous state was unacceptable, as it was undignifying of the status of the state as the nation's commercial hub and Africa's fifth largest economy.
Specifically, the design of the project includes the reconstruction and expansion of the existing carriage to three-lane expressway on both directions, construction of two-lane service road in both directions, construction of ramp bridge to provide a U-turn from Ajao Estate to Airport, construction of a flyover at NAHCO/Toll Gate and drainage works.
The design will also see the removal of existing pedestrian bridge at Ajao Estate and the reconstruction of same at Ajao Estate and NAHCO/Hajj Camp, construction of Slip Road to provide access to Ajao Estate, construction of Lay-bys and installation of street lights, among others.
Barely a week later, the Pen Cinema flyover project was also equally flagged off, with December 2018 set as delivery date.
Afenifere spokesman Yinka Odumakin said Ambode's era is fast becoming epochal. Lagos, he said, is fast being defined as before, and after Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
"I said it back then in 2014 that if the price of oil should fall, only Lagos can comfortably pay salaries of its workers and I think that has been demonstrated by the state. This administration has leveraged on the comparative advantage of the state in terms of expanding the tax base to stay afloat," Odumakin added.
Oba Isiaka Balogun of Ketu praised the governor for the massive infrastructure projects, describing them as unprecedented.

Hi Rick, a survey response can't be deleted from inside the user interface but can be set to "Deleted" in the database in the "survey_response" table at the second column labeled: Deleted. Just set it to 1 instead of 0. To undelete it just set it back to 0. Of course you would need to have database administrator privileges and be authorized to manipulate the actual database on the associated server. In any event hope this answers your question and if it does, please mark this question as Answered.

Fall Survey Results Summary
The Seymour Soccer Association (SSA) would like to thank all of the families that took the time to participate in our fall soccer survey. As most of you are aware, SSA made some program changes this past fall, therefore your input was extremely important. Your comments will greatly assist us in designing future offerings.
The following is a summary of the feedback from families with children in Divisions 1, 2, and/or 3. 65% of the total survey responses were from these three recreation program divisions. The majority of respondents were generally pleased with the number of practices, playing time, and number of professional training sessions. It should be noted, however, that there were families that would like to see more team practice time with the assigned coaches and less time with professional trainers.
The SSA travel program experienced the biggest change this past fall. SSA contracted with Everson Soccer, Inc. to bring in professional coaches to work in tandem with SSA parent coaches. The improvement in each of the four SSA travel teams was both visible and exciting. In past years SSA travel teams struggled to consistently compete against surrounding town soccer teams. This year a SSA competition travel team and a SSA recreation travel team each finished in first place within their Connecticut Junior Soccer Association (CJSA) divisions. The SSA family is proud of the players that worked so well together and with their coaches. Congratulations!
The other fall SSA travel teams also fared very well finishing in second and third places, respectively, in their CJSA divisions. With regard to some survey respondents' concerns about SSA volunteer coaches not having the training needed to assist players in the development of their abilities, SSA will be partnering with Academica Futebol Club (AFC) to provide a coach curriculum and a systematic approach to build coaching capacity and skill development for the children who participate in our soccer club. To that end, SSA will have a framework of support for coaches in place for the fall and begin the exciting new partnership with AFC this spring to best meet the needs of the children and families that we serve.
SSA appreciates the time and effort that all of our present and past coaches have invested in SSA's teams. For that, SSA is forever grateful. Without such coach volunteers there would not be a successful soccer program in Seymour. The SSA Board is presently considering all of your responses regarding professional training, the amount of games, and practice time with coaches. Your valuable comments will assist SSA in shaping the upcoming 2010-2011 programs.
As you know, the SSA program is dependent on all of our soccer families as volunteers. Please consider volunteering in some capacity in the future. We would love to have you be a part of the SSA team and the fastest growing sport in Seymour!
Finally, SSA's main goal is, and always will be, for Seymour's children to have fun and allow them to develop to the best of their own ability. Healthy competition, discipline, and team work are skills that children will need to be successful in life. With every decision the SSA Board makes, it keeps these most important goals and overall vision squarely in focus.
Again, thank you for your input. The SSA Board looks forward to working with our families and to keep Seymour Soccer "growing" in the right direction!

In light of recent events at the Swedish plant Forsmark 1, RSK had a first discussion. RSK prepared issues on the basis of a GRS report and data and information provided by the BMU which were to be dealt with by the RSK Committee on ELECTRIC INSTALLATIONS with the aim to analyse all disturbing factors and their impacts on the auxiliary or emergency power systems that go beyond issues related to the circuit design.
The RSK discussed and approved the statement "Description of the state of knowledge about the influence of gamma radiation on toughness reduction of ferritic materials of reactor pressure vessels during operation" (in German) prepared by the RSK Committee on PRESSURE-RETAINING COMPONENTS AND MATERIALS and the recommendation "Impact of advanced core loading on the reactivity behaviour of the reactor core and its reactivity control elements" (in German) prepared by a working group of the RSK Committee on REACTOR OPERATION.

You may have a fair idea about what you want from your garden, you may have some specific problem areas which need addressing, or it may be a general question of "Please Help!"
Whatever your requirements, I can help with all of these and more… Identifying issues/problems and providing creative, user-friendly solutions is what I do.
After your first contact with me and a quick discussion about the sort of input you need, we will arrange an initial meeting on site, free of charge*. The purpose of this meeting will be to:
- View, explore and photograph the site,
- Discuss with you, your family and/or other garden users how you wish to use your garden, your tastes and style preferences, likes, dislikes, colours etc,
- Take note of basic site information, for example rough measurements, orientation, soil samples and existing planting or materials to be retained.
Unless the site is very straightforward in terms of size and levels, I will normally recommend a professional site survey be carried out (essential for complex sites), which I can arrange for you if required.
Following this meeting I will prepare a client brief and quotation for your approval, before starting any design work. Once these are agreed, we can move onto the next exciting stage: DESIGN.
* For a site visit more than 25 miles from Shoreham, I respectively reserve the right to charge travel expenses for the initial meeting, to be agreed in advance.
We found using Naomi to design and install our garden an easy way to start and complete something that was far beyond our knowledge and comfort zone. I will use Naomi again for other projects and would recommend her to others needing their gardens revitalised.

Earache Relief – Home Remedy Tips
Buy earache relief products on Amazon
Ear is rich in sensory nerves, most of which belong to trigeminal nerve, and are distributed around ear tragus, part of the helix skin, anterior wall of the external auditory canal, and the surface of tympanic membrane. Some of the sensory nerves come from the neck, are located in the back and front of the surface of the ear, the great auricular nerve has branches that are located in the external ear canal. The vagus nerve has two auricular branches, one located in concha, external auditory canal wall and tympanic membrane, the other is distributed in the the back of auricle and its adjacent skin. The pathological changes of these nerves or diseases of the outer ear or middle ear all can cause earache.
Earache is a common disease, you may experience throbbing, dull pain or tingling pain. The pain itself is caused mostly by disease of the ear, but it also can be caused by response of the nerves. There are several common reasons that can cause earache.
1, Ear diseases, which
- auricular hematoma.
- ear purulent perichondritis
- auricular frostbite
- ear erysipelas
- ear herpes zoster.
- foreign body of the external auditory canal
- swollen ear canal
- ear trauma
- necrotizing otitis externa.
2, middle ear diseases, which include:
- tympanic membrane injury
- bullous myringitis
- acute suppurative otitis media
- traumatic middle ear pressure
- middle ear carcinoma
3, secondary earache, also known as reflex earache, which is common in the following situations:
- Temporomandibular joint and the surrounding tissue diseases, such as jaw arthritis, mumps, etc.
- Ear lymph node inflammation
- Reflex earache caused by oral and nasal disease through the temporal branch of trigeminal nerve
- Throat diseases, such as tonsil disease, tonsil surgery, pharyngeal cancer, throat ulcers ,laryngeal tuberculosis, laryngeal cancer, larynx Perichondritis and so on.
- Nervous earache, the throbbing earache is sometimes caused by trigeminal nerve, with paroxysmal and brief characteristics, or by glossopharyngeal nerve, with throbbing pains and trigger point in the oral cavity.
Home remedies to relieve earache
- Take antibiotics or pain relief pills, however, you should first consult a doctor before taking any medicine.
- Use a hot towel for external application.
- You may squeeze the nose while swallowing some saliva to open the eustachian tube to reduce the negative pressure and relive your earache.
- If you are having throbbing pain, fever or trauma of the external ear canal, go to the hospital to see a doctor.
There are also some tips to relieve earache when you are listening to MP3.
Listen to the music in quiet environment, because studies have shown that in a quiet environment, most of the headphone output sound is almost the same, however once the external environment becomes noisy, there will be different interference to headphone output.
it is best not to listen to the music using headphones while you are doing exercises, because exercises make your inner ear blood supply instable
Control the volume of you MP3 or mobile phone, it is recommended that you adjust the volume to 40-50 dB, you should not exceed 60% of the maximum volume (MP3 maximum volume of 100 dB).
Control the time you are listening to music using headphones. Because even if the volume is appropriate, listening for too long will also cause damage to your hearing ability. What's more, you'd better not wear headphones while asleep. If you are listening to light or popular music, it's great that you take a 15 minutes break very 100 minutes.
Also, stay away from fireworks, drums and other noisy environment, choose earmuffs or sponge earplugs to protect your hearing. Basically, a good ear plug for hearing protection have the following characteristics:
- can better seal the ear;
- can effectively filter noise;
- feel comfortable when worn;
- easy to use.
In addition, you should try to shorten the time of using of mobile phones to avoid further damage to your hearing. When using mobile phone, try to put the phone away from your ear to reduce the side effect caused by electromagnetic waves.
If there is dizziness, earache, tinnitus, hearing loss and other symptoms, you should promptly go to the hospital to do otology test.

Over 400 of Portland's middle school students stand with Paris Climate Change Conference for action now

Cars honked and people waved support for over 400 students from King Middle School, city officials, members of 350.org, and concerned citizens when they marched to Portland City Hall on December 4, 2015. There they held a rally to promote climate change awareness and urge people to make changes to reduce waste, pollution and carbon emissions.
"Climate Change is not a debate—it's happening now," said an impassioned student driving the reality home that this generation will experience the effects of the world's climate changing in devastating ways if we don't take action now.
The students have been studying climate change issues, and the march/rally was part of their assignment.
"The kids have it right on climate. The rest of us should follow their lead and get on the job of making our energy system clean and renewable," said City Councilor Jon Hinck.
Speakers called for immediate action and told the audience they can start recycling, composting, walking or biking instead of driving, and switching out traditional light bulbs to low-energy alternatives. The students point: everyone can make a difference if we all act.
"We are not here to celebrate, but to motivate," said eighth-grader Siri Pierce at City Hall. "We know this will be a more serious problem in the future, so why not start fighting now?"
The march coincided with the United Nations climate talks in Paris, which hopefully will culminate with a legal global treaty amongst the 191 countries taking part in the talks.
The last time a global climate treaty was signed was in 1997 with the Kyoto Protocol. But that agreement only required wealthy countries to reduce carbon emissions. This time developing and emerging nations are poised to sign on, making this agreement truly global.
Many nations have come to understand climate change technologies can help grow economies. Alternative energy is among the industries in Maine that show the most potential for job growth, according to a state report commissioned by the Maine Technology Institute in 2013 to identify fast-growing, technology-intensive industries that could yield significant economic growth.
Businesses that work in alternative energy are a part of the state's fastest-growing sectors, according to the report. The sector experienced job gains in Maine of 11.9 percent, from 2007 to 2012, and is predicted to grow by 4.7 percent through 2022, beating a forecasted U.S. growth rate of 2.3 percent.
"I am very motivated — and you are my motivation," Mayor Michael Brennan told the students as he gave them a key to the city.
Portland is currently adding solar panels to city buildings. The effort is part of the city's climate action plans that are being currently implemented across all aspects of its operations from transportation and land use planning, to vehicle policies and fuel usage.

How Drumming Teaches Us About Ourselves
Today, as James was teaching the residents at a local rehab center, as part of their curriculum, I was amazed to witness how "telling" the drum is to a person's personality. Many of the residents were scheduled to show up for drumming, having no inherent interest in drums or music for that matter. But there was definitely a curiosity. In past groups, some participants had expressed fear of having "no rhythm", putting themselves down even before they started. Other's said nothing, their faces a little fearful. Maybe a few were even thinking, "what are we doing here?", and yet others were like, "Cool!"
Just like when James teaches kids, they all eventually can't help themselves and they just HAVE to hit the drum! Everyone's willingness to try something they weren't familiar with gave us a clue as to how comfortable they were with being out of their comfort zone in their "real" lives outside the classroom. Although St. Joe's residents are particularly talented in music (even though they don't know they are) and maybe somehow that is connected to their past history of chemical dependency, quite a few are very critical of themselves when they make a mistake. Wow, I thought, why would they EXPECT to be perfect at something new? But I once was like that too. And I was very unhappy back then. Once in a while, I wonder if they want to give up. But because of peer pressure, no one does. How easily do they give up on something "good" in their lives without peer support I wonder? Drumming is a wonderful analogy to life. Here's more:
I also noticed some who were quite quick to learn the rhythm and yet were so quiet in their drum playing that they could not help "lead" their companions to stay on track. So I surmise that in their everyday life, they are too timid to make an impact in other people's lives although they have the talent for it. Other's didn't seem to notice when they were off-time at all and kept playing oblivious to those around them. Possibly, they are often "out of sync" with others in their lives not paying attention to those important connections that could make their lives happier and healthier. Once they get comfortable with one rhythm, we add another, thus stretching them again beyond their comfort zones. While they are playing well, James will suddenly add another accompaniment. Most will fall off their own s=rhythm at first. How often does that happen to us in our relationships? We get used to being "alone" and then in relationship, we "lose" our own rhythm. The drum teaches us to play our own tune (individuation) yet be aware of others and to harmonize with others. It is not so easy. But by the end of the class, they are all playing in harmony - maybe for just a few minutes - but so much more than at the beginning of the class. The best part of drumming class is watching each new student bloom and begin to really get into the rhythm and enjoy themselves. We welcome mistakes and tell them it is natural. It helps them get more comfortable making mistakes. Many walk away with new-found confidence and big smiles, saying, "Hey, that was fun! Thank you so much!" Karen

Shoe Recommendation for Sensitive Feet
Looking for wear-all-day shoe recommendations for my wife. I have a feeling that something wide and with a stiff sole might work. More details ...
For the last decade, she has been mostly gym climbing. Lately, she has become interested in easy multi-pitch. Trouble is her shoes.
At the gym, she usually slips them off after every route - we generally climb moderate routes. Outside, face climbing and edging bring excruciating pain. Her foot history includes a radical bunionectomy on one and some bone removal on the other.
If you have sensitive feet and a recommendation, I'd be grateful. Thanks, All.
Unfortunately there is no substitute for going to a good shop and trying on bunch of different shoes.
I have had a lot of foot issues and I am now doing my outdoor climbing mostly in a pair of Scarpa techno x's. There was definitely some break-in time, but they are great edging platform. They also smear reasonably well but no one would call them sensitive!
The evolve addict might be a good choice. It's very comfy with little to no downturn and a fairly symmetrical last with full leather upper that allows stretch. And since it's a slipper, it takes 2 seconds to slip on and off if she still wants to take off her shoes at the belay.
She could take her shoes off at belays on multi-pitch climbs, too. Obviously need to be careful not to drop them, but even slipping the heels off can help a lot. Some people bring down booties to keep feet warm while belaying.

This would also suggest something flat-lasted rather than down-turned.

All else equal, maybe. Unfortunately, flat-lasted shoes tend to be much more symmetric (bends the big toe toward the other toes) than aggressively down-turned models. Also, if you have "turf toe", down-turned shoes can actually be more supportive.
To the OP, if you want relatively flat-lasted but stiff and asymmetric (straighter big toes), try the Sportiva Otaki/Kataki (men's models will be a bit wider but stiffer). They are the most asymmetric climbing shoes I know for the (little) amount of down turn. Should be relatively easy to find now that REI carries those. Scarpa Boostic is another to consider: similar asymmetry, even stiffer, but the toe box is higher volume (but narrower than the men's Sportiva models) so in practice the toes aren't as flat.
Boreal, aces, zephyr, or women's joker (laces)
All day comfort for slab climbing.
No more than half size down from her street shoe if possible.
For those in the dark like me, one meaning of 'last': A shoe last is a 3-dimensional wooden or plastic mold upon which a shoe is constructed. The last used during shoe assembly can affect the overall fit of a shoe, and all lasts include the following dimensions: Heel width. Instep height. Forefoot width.
I appreciate your thoughts, Lena (and everyone else's). We climbed about 8 pitches over Saturday and Sunday during which the shoes did come off after each pitch. She has indicated that is just not enough relief overall, not that anyone suggested it was so.
And her shoes are beyond worn out (almost only gym use), ones she purchased based on the shoe sales person's assertive advice. It is time try a different type of shoe. :)
Ok - I'll summarize the advice so far. Let me know if you would add something else. I'll give her an update this evening.
Thank you, all.
Women's Mythos is gonna be the ticket I can almost bet on it. Its a flat lasted lace up that feels like a bedroom slipper and unlined leather so it stretches.
Scarpa Techno x
La Sportiva Mythos
La Sportiva Finale
Evolv Elektra/Defy
Five Ten Anasazi
La Sportiva makes an entry level shoe that costs about $80. I have wide feet and I find those are very comfortable. The Mythos are also good.
DRusso wrote:
Totally agree! I wear my Mythos on pretty much all multi-pitch adventures because not only are they already super comfortable, they're also super adjustable. The laces go all the way down to the toes. If you're feeling squished halfway through the day, just loosen all your laces. my feet are really wide at the ball of my foot and through the toes, and the Mythos are the most comfortable climbing shoes I've ever owned.
for my feet, even just a half size difference can turn a painful shoe into a great one. Not even a different model, just a slightly larger shoe.

Turner Hall blends history, music, wellness
The four-story building was constructed in 1882 out of Milwaukee's famous cream city brick. It houses a ballroom, restaurant and gym all in one structure, and it has survived two fires – one in 1933 and one in 1941. It is recognized as a national landmark, a local historical landmark and holds a spot on the National Registry of Historical Places. No other building in Milwaukee can lay claim to all three.
The fall — and unlikely rise — of the Grand Avenue mall
The Grand Avenue mall has been on life support for more than a decade, and its chances for survival look slimmer with each closing shop. Ideas about how to restore the former retail hub back to the condition of its glory days—from putting in a Super Target to building up office space—have been tossed around, though nothing has caught on yet. But the end of summer marked the time for business-minded folks to step aside and let the creatives try their remedies on the dying landmark. The result may be just what it takes to nurse the Grand back to health.

Kenya Newspaper Columnists Resign, Alleging Lack of Freedom
(Bloomberg) -- Eight columnists with East Africa's biggest newspaper organization resigned, accusing Nation Media Group Plc of failing to allow writers freedom of expression including criticism of the Kenyan government.
The contributors of regular opinion pieces for Kenyan newspapers such as the Daily Nation and Sunday Nation announced the move Tuesday, alleging a "worrying pattern" where it "appears the executive is able to influence who works for or contributes" to the publications.
"We refuse to continue to clothe the loss of editorial independence and media freedom at the NMG with respectability," they said in a statement forwarded by Maina Kiai, one of the columnists and a former special rapporteur with the United Nations' human-rights commission.
Kenya, East Africa's largest economy, held protracted elections last year in which President Uhuru Kenyatta was ultimately declared winner. As the opposition disputed the result and vowed a defiance campaign, authorities cut off TV stations airing an opposition ceremony and deported a prominent lawyer, raising fears of a crackdown on dissent.
The NMG's editor-in-chief, Tom Mshindi, said by phone that the group operates within "fairly strict but public editorial policy guidelines." He said that none of the columnists "can cite an incident when their commentaries or views were rejected or contradicted," but they were free to resign.
In a separate statement, NMG said it continues "to be committed to media freedom whilst delivering value in line with" readers' expectations. A spokesman for the presidency, Manoah Esipisu, said it doesn't comment on statements from columnists.
The other writers who resigned were executive director of the Kenya Human Rights Commission George Kegoro, Africa director with Open Society Foundations Muthoni Wanyeki, Catholic priest Gabriel Dolan, author Rasna Warah, U.K.-based academics Gabrielle Lynch and Nic Cheeseman, and Kwamchetsi Makokha, program adviser for Journalists for Justice.
