Why, in the name of all that is holy, do we need another blog?
Who, in this universe or any other, gives a flying toss about what Andy Ritchie thinks about this and that and the other?
In fact, is Andy Ritchie's ego now so bloated that he thinks people will actually be interested in what he has to say?
Valid questions, to be sure.
My answers?
1. We don't.
2. Probably no-one.
3. I hope not, but it may be.
The truth is, I'm not really writing this blog for you.
I'm writing it for me.
Well, a couple of reasons really.
Firstly, it's an exercise in writing and expression. I enjoy writing and I enjoy using writing to express myself. When I'm writing a book, I'm constrained a bit by the storyline, by the situation or the characters; in a blog, I'm not really constrained at all, so I can say what the fucking hell I fucking well like and not give a pus-filled bollock about the consequences...may all your blue bananas produce glow-in-the-dark ducklings armed with rocket-launchers and a bad attitude...see what I mean. I can say what I want and it doesn't even have to make sense (though I hope it always will!)
There's a freedom in the blog.
Secondly, I want to create a record, not only of what I have been doing (because mymemories going), but also about what I thought and felt about the things that have been going on...you forget, you see, not only about certain events and situations, but also about how they really made you feel at the time you heard about them...and I don't want to forget that, not if I can help it.
So, to the blog - how often, what format, subject matter?
Truth is, I have no idea.
I think I'll blog when I feel like it, but I aim to do so as often as possible, definitely at least once a week.
Format? Well, it's just going to flow, so format is a bit of an irrelevence. Could be single words, could be whole paragraphs. Who knows?
Subject matter? What I've been up to, what I've seen in the news, what I've got planned...really, anything.
Take today, for example.
Two seriously conflicting emotions.
First, I see that one of my photos (Darwen Tower at sunrise) has been published in the Reader's Gallery of Lancashire Walks and Wildlife magazine. Fantastic!
Second, I see on Facebook a post from Alison saying that Joan has passed away. Gutted!
High, then low...followed by...what?
There's so many emotions, so much to describe...and that's exactly what I want to do, use this blog as a means of getting what I'm feeling down on paper (or on screen) and doing so in a way that challenges me, that makes me find exactly the right words, express myself in exactly the right way.
Deep, or what!

What I'm Wearing:
See what I did with the title there because I'm black and Wednesday Adams is white so I had to spice up the title a bit thanks to my teacher for the p. Any-who, I was Wednesday Adams for Halloween this year and it kinda upset me that some people didn't get my costume. I mean if you were one of those people did you even have a childhood. I like this costume because it is fashionable while getting the character across, something I enjoy doing a lot with costumes. Well enjoy this cool tune and have a Spook-tastic Halloween

In order to grow, a seed must be covered under the dirt and find its way to the light. While in the darkness, it is nurtured by soil, heat, and water. Once the seedling bursts through, it leans toward the sun and creates food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. In time, the plant yields its fruit.
Facing darkness is a normal process of life. At such times, I reach for the light of God to find my way, and I grow in faith, wisdom, understanding, and love. I become aware of my inner divinity and nurture my seeds of potential through prayer, study, and practice. The light of God helps me grow courageously. I keep moving toward Spirit and harvest the fruit of realization.

Supermoon Magic! The Full Wolf Moon Arrives On New Year's Night To Bring The Brightest Moon Of 2018
Are you ready for this Supermoon? The biggest and brightest moon of 2018 happens on the very first night of the year!
What a way to start the new year, and leave the mess of 2017 behind! The month of January is going to be a powerful one indeed- especially with all of the moon magic happening.
Moon Giant tells us "the first Full Moon of the year will be on January 1st for North America and the 2nd for Europe and the UK. The second known as a Blue Moon will be on January 31st. Both are supermoons with the Moon being at it's closest point to the earth making the Full Moon brighter and larger. It gets even better with a Total Lunar Eclipse visible in the western United States on January 31st." We will certainly be looking forward to that show.
The full Wolf Moon on January 1 falls in the sign of Cancer, and brings us positive news. This is an alignment that brings your manifestations to reality, and all of those things you have been working towards suddenly fall in your lap. Relationships that were blossoming will start to flourish, and ones that were breaking away will end with absolute closure in a peaceful way. This is a great Moon for social gatherings and family get-togethers.
Because this full moon falls under the sign of Cancer it should be a time of letting go of what drags you down and just have fun! Use your creativity. Remember your inner child. Discover your innocence and love. Find ways to express yourself during this full moon.
The Full Moon is the time of greatest power and the perfect night for a solitary meditation, or manifestation ritual as it's a night where energy is in abundance. This Moon is a great time to take an inventory of your life and see where you are and where you need to be going on your personal path. Now that Mercury has left retrograde, during the full Wolf Moon, you might want to release all of that suppressed energy you have been holding onto.
According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, Native American tribes named the moon the full wolf moon because of the wolves who would howl in hunger around the time of its rising. The moon has also been called the Old Moon and the Snow Moon.
One thing we know about the energy of the full moon, is that it always brings closure if we allow ourselves to release the things that we no longer need to hold onto. Move forward, and focus on what you have accomplished so far, in order to receive a brighter tomorrow.

This paper develops the basic framework for Computer-Aided Design and Machining of composite ruled surfaces. Such surfaces are constructed by blending several patches which are segments of ruled surfaces. Taking advantage of the fact that a ruled surface is a one-parameter family of straight lines, methods are developed for blending of ruled patches. A new subdivision algorithm is also presented for generating sequences of cutter movements for machining of ruled patches.

Hi there my crafty friends!
I am sharing a shaker card I made for the Come On Get Crafty Blog using the newest Basic Grey 'Aurora' & 'Adrift' collections.
I love all the shaker cards that are popular now and the interaction that they provide! After sorting through all the Basic Grey die cuts and acrylic pieces, I came up with an idea for a boat and ocean themed card.
I used some tinted modeling paste on the card base for the water and then added lots of the fish and shells die cuts. I placed the acrylic boat on top and added various sequins from my stash. I watercolored a border using Distress Inks and traditional watercolors and added the acrylic sentiment, 'Welcome Aboard.'
It turned out to be a perfect card for a surprise cruise a friend just went on!
Thanks for stopping by the blog today!
Have an amazing day!

Tuhin Sinha, an associate director of strategic development at the University of California at San Francisco's Office of Innovation, Technology and Alliances who noticed the growing trend of crowdfunding a few years ago, has helped UCSF form a partnership with Indiegogo, a leading crowdfunding platform.
Crowdfunding, which aims to raise small amounts of money from many individuals online, has exploded in recent years, fueled by an exceedingly online society.
"There are many projects that aren't necessarily appropriate for a big NIH grant or anything that requires a lengthy application process," Sinha said in a press release. "This gives our faculty more control over the process, but relies on them describing their funding needs to a peer network rather than a traditional granting committee," the Indian American added.

Of course I don't want to invest a lot of time in it if it's already being done (and being done well). The primary focus would not be recipes and/or "my wonderful life" (to quote the Freemans, in their Piglet review earlier this year), nor would it be an "all-about-me" blog. I have looked extensively at "food blog search" and on "Delish" but see nothing at all similar. How would you research this? (Of course, I have done numerous key word searches on Google.) Thanks so much, everyone. ;o)
I would just start it - it may be done before, but you're the only one who can do it your way and in your voice.
Blogs take a lot of time and energy for little to no (financial) reward so it has to be a personal passion/interest. Which begs the question: if you're reluctant to invest energy into something that's been done, why do you want to do it at all?
SR, thank you for your response.
I will continue to engage in the activity that provides the underpinning for the blog's content. I.e., the blog would be an extension of something I'm already doing. The new effort would lie in formatting and presenting in ways most effectively to share my work, and of course to interacting with others who seek to discuss it.
Perhaps I should provide some context. I don't read food blogs, other than this one and, very occasionally, one or two others. I have no idea what's out there. I realize that original ideas are extremely rare, but I'd be a bit embarrassed to create a blog that I consider uniquely helpful and interesting, and then find that someone else is already doing it.
Having read the first part of your response, I agree that even if someone else does have a similar blog, it would not be the same, because my content would in all likelihood be mostly unique and my writing style, I assume, would be different. I suppose it boils down to not wanting to be viewed as a "wannabee."
I suppose, too, that if I knew that there were another blog out there with the same approach, I'd be able to differentiate. ;o)
You are not a 'wannabee', AJ. You are the real deal!
Is wannabee really the worst thing you could be called? ;)
AJ - Original ideas are not rare - we ALL have them, strokes of genius that multiply ... there's an audience for every voice (supported by the world's growing population), and every voice is unique.
Truth too is, I am a wannabee and when you invest time and energy in anything, you earn the right to be anything you want! (My foodblog is almost 3 years old, and took me 9 months to 'birth'). I wanna encourage and inspire people to live and cook with the stories I share, I wanna be the best cook, wife, mother, friend, food writer, teacher and blogger I can be! If I can manage any of this with continued grace, then I would embrace wannabe in every single sense of the word!
AJ, just knowing you from Food Pickle and Hotline my guess is your research skills are outstanding. Also your ideas are unique, thoughtful. And you are a great writer. And I would bet a year's worth of garden fresh tomatoes that you have put a lot of thought into your concept. Love the idea of your blog, just reading about what it is not.
Knowing you are analytical this may sound like heresy. Just go for it. You won't know until you get in action, on the playing field.
Your voice is unique, so start. And clearly your concept is unique.
I'd love to see what you've come up with. As with any writing, though, the first person it has to interest and inspire and satisfy is you.
I don't read food blogs either :) But I think they can be a great medium for one's own collection/reflection/creativity - and also provide a framework and discipline for these pursuits. Go into it just to satisfy yourself and don't look at the viewing statistics.
I think the people that go in with the intent of making money, drumming up a following, etc for the most part just end up sounding disingenuous and repetitive. It sounds like you're neither of those things! Best of luck.
I read a few blogs and find them mostly disappointing. I think that the most important thing (and maybe most difficult over a very long period) is to post regularly. Nothing pushes a blog off my radar faster than realizing that posts are getting less and less frequent. I think that's one reason that FOOD52 works so weill--we all know that there will be something new and interesting every day.
Hi Antonia, I write a blog that I started out of boredom, really. It's mostly about food, but it's also a place where I laugh at myself (and invite others to, as well). I have relatively few readers, but it's not about that for me. I cook, I ponder, I write, and every once in a while someone reads. I try to keep it interesting, but I am not selling anything (unlike some bloggers) nor looking to make money from it. Since it is for me, I do it my way. It continues to evolve, and I am having fun with it. I hope that whatever you choose to do, you do it because you like to do it and have fun with it! You can't go wrong with that approach. S.
And this is what I keep coming to when the occasional wave of 'wanting to be rich, then famous' hits me. I come back to the core of why I started my blog.
I agree with Greenstuff. My favorite blogs are those that are written well, insightful, and consistent. (I can think of one well known food blog many people adored until the posts became more and more sparse.) Anyway, as Amanda has noted with regards to recipes (and I hope I'm doing her thoughts justice), there are really no new recipes, but there are new voices and perspectives on those that exist. I think as long as you commit to your blog and blog well, you'll gain a following.
In my humble opinion, as with all endeavors, if you have passion for it, something not too terrible will eventually follow. Also, have found in my adventures that this old saw is useful: keep an open mind and eyes. Things may not take the path you envisioned but you may get tuned into something different/better. I love reading your recipes (you write with a lovely precision and gracefulness, and obviously from experience) and I'd look forward to reading any blog you might undertake! Bon voyage, Antonia!
p.s. Forgot to add: you could research it to death. Sometimes, it's better to just do it. For example, who would have forecast that there would be a gazillion cooking blogs, many of them with surprisingly high page views? How many recipes does a person need? (Answer: thousands.)
Yes, there's a fine line between thinking carefully and over-thinking.
I've thought about your question a lot, AntoniaJames. As with Susan Boyles, I started my blog principally for myself. I love writing about and explaining much of the science about food and baking in ways that make the information accessible to home cooks, and which hopefully raise the chance that when they encounter an ingredient or instruction in a recipe with no explanation as to its importance, they'll actually follow it and have a better outcome. I read lots of blogs the same way that I read many types of books. It is interesting to see how other bloggers see their slice of the world. Because that's what your blog will become: a reflection of how you see your world and your subject in it. And I'm very much looking forward to reading it.
Just start typing away, with your depth of knowledge of food, there will be an awesome blog in place soon, that everyone will gravitate to. Looking fwd to reading it!
Antonia, you have me on the edge of my seat. I'm excited to see what you've come up with.
petitbleu, you make me laugh! My clients are all on the edges of their seats waiting for me to get their documents drafted and revised, so the blog, alas, remains still very much in the concept stage . . . . while I try to figure out if the concept translates to a sustainable project. ;o)
Thanks, everyone, for these thoughtful, helpful responses. I hope to have time over the holiday weekend to move this forward. My clients' deals, not to mention the other large and small details of my life, have been so distracting of late! ;o)
AJ - write. Because you can. And no two voices are the same. Ever.
All the research in the world can show what is but can't predict what will be!
A blog allows you catalogue your recipes, thoughts and stories and creates an easy reference alongside; plus gives you an outlet and allows connection with some truly wonderful people.
Go for it - start a 'free' one and if you don't enjoy it - delete it! But give it a go!!!
It takes time but just because you love it doesn't mean it will be easy.....
AJ, I thought this article might be interesting to you:
I agree, whatever it may be, whether there are similar themed blogs, no one will have your unique voice. I use blogger.com for mine, it is free and very simple to navigate. Once you have your content it does not take long to upload it. Good luck and keep us posted!

Vinson Valega: Awake
Though some consider it a cliche, there's more than enough truth to the idea that jazz is a model for democracy, and drummer Vinson Valega wants to see that concept in action. The mission of his company, Consilience Productions, is to promote "progressive music for the socially curious." With his third release, Awake, he continues to explore these ideas –- and create some incredibly tuneful music in the process.
After majoring in economics at Penn, Valega attended Mannes and studied with Marvin "Smitty" Smith (of Tonight Show fame) and Norm Freeman (of the New York Philharmonic). After two albums -- one live and one in the studio -- Awake features a new group with new tunes. Valega solicited contributions from his bandmates, and while they're all very different players, the results are cohesive, not to mention catchy. Altoist Anton Denner wrote the vampy opener "Luftmenschen." Brian Blade Fellowship pianist Jon Cowherd spins out some brilliant ideas, complementing trumpeter Terell Stafford's burnished tone and powerful solo. Denner himself is fluid and lyrical here as well as on the infectious "Fog" (penned by guitarist Sheryl Bailey, a good friend of Valega's but not on the record). Valega's Latin-influenced polyrhythms give Cowherd's sparkling solo even more texture.
Throughout the set, Valega himself solos only sparingly, but he's front and center on the aptly titled "Ed Blackwell." His intuitive playing is deep in the groove, and even in tribute, he never abandons his own sound. Bassist Josh Ginsburg's feature here is also quite full and funky. The title track is a great example of Valega's crisp sound and loose swing, both relaxed and responsive. It's also a great moment for tenorist Chris Bacas, whose solo grows, lopes and flutters. He's tremendously expressive in the low register, and he's even more forceful and distinct on the swinger, "The Trend Is Your Friend."
With a superb sextet of confident players, Valega's newest effort has plenty of melody, subtlety and depth. He's explicit when discussing the affinities between creative music and a participating society -- and mirrors that with the egalitarian push-and-pull of the group on Awake. The album's three related interludes titled "This Is What Democracy Sounds Like" aren't just superficially thematic; they express an overt agenda. Valega's mission is both music and message.

Geographies of Jazz: Lonesome Roads and Streets of Dreams by Andrew S. Berish
Andrew S. Berish, currently a professor at the University of South Florida, has renewed research about the story of jazz during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. What is most impressive is his ability to take his readers on a ride through the history of jazz during one of the most economically trying times in the history of the music. He builds his study around the Casino Ballroom on Catalina Island, off the coast of California, Duke Ellington, Charlie Christian, and Charlie Barnet, and in doing so, establishes himself as one of the strongest scholars writing about jazz today.
Berish's approach to the music of the time is scholarly; his sentiments and conclusions are rarely nostalgic, although the music of the period at times tends to be so. Of the great composer and bandleader Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington, he writes "I will shift the focus away from the Ellington-centric narratives that dominate scholarship on the band." Such observations offer a different foray into the terrain; the author moves the focus away from the major cast of cats to examine how "minor" figures play a key role in the history of the music. For example, in his discussion of the Casino Ballroom on Catalina Island, he explains why sweet jazz was preferred over hot jazz. While assigning race to music is always problematic, there existed a strong belief that "hot" jazz was African American while "sweet" jazz was "drained of its 'color' [and] implicitly 'white' music." And while audiences of the Casino Ballroom were serenaded to the sweet sounds of all-white bands, there was still an African American presence on the island. Berish's ability to examine the margins of the history of jazz sound are made particularly evident, too, in his reading of a photograph of Duke Ellington with His Orchestra. "The presence of so many people," he writes, "each occupied in a slightly different way, overwhelms the centrality of the bandleader who seems, in this one instant, an appendage far from the center of our attention." He does not offer a standard reading of jazz in high places, but does the difficult work of revealing the perils and struggles of geography and of personality of a music that was born in a time of economic prosperity and matured during economic uncertainty.
In his charting of the geographies of jazz, Berish explores the roots and the routes that make jazz a dynamic and democratic art form.
Good scholarship begins with good questions, and the questions in Lonesome Roads and Streets of Dreams are provocative. How did the music selected for the Casino Ballroom help maintain a "white, middle-class social order"? How is the idea of mobility central to appreciating the musical genius of Charlie Barnet? How did the technological advances of the automobile, the train, and the radio shape the development of jazz music? How is musical place a social process? These are just some of the questions Berish addresses in his study. The work itself revolves around the interconnections between music and place. In referring to Ellington's music as a "locomotive laboratory of place," Berish connects his compositions with "other black artists of the time working in the vidual arts and literature who also were preoccupied with representing the black experience of travel, migration, and urbanization." In short, sound evokes a sense of place, and music charts its own geography. As Berish notes, "the power of music" resides in its ability "to participate in the constitution of social and spatial experience." Even in his brilliant article on hip hop music, Neil Strauss opened with "I live in a country every map maker will respect." In both statements, there dwells an underpinning that music is both a utopian and a eutopian endeavor that aims to create a sense of place as well as euphoria. Yet Berish always encourages us to see the complexities of any given statement, especially in his discussion of Duke Ellington's Orchestra. By looking more closely at Ellington's band, Berish shows us "a group of very different individuals held loosely together by a tenuous combination of shared artistic goals and larger economic and social circumstances […] [T]he band was a composite not only of personalities but of American places as well." In his charting of the geographies of jazz, Berish explores the roots and the routes that make jazz a dynamic and democratic art form.
Berish shows us the deep connections between the musical practices of each artist over the course of his life, and in doing so we leave these pages with a rich understanding of the devotion to craft that makes each artist a valued contributor to the ever-unfolding history of jazz music.
Much like the music and musicians he studies, Berish illuminates the varied frequencies of jazz music — whether it is the sweet jazz of the Casino Ballroom creating "nostalgic modernism," or the train whistles in Duke Ellington's music evoking an American South that was both beautiful and brutal, or the saxophonist and bandleader Charlie Barnet using metaphors of travel and the road to explore ways in which "white and black America could mingle on more equal terms," or guitarist Charlie Christian evoking Oklahoma and the freedom of the "Territories" in his signature piece "Flying Home." Of the legendary Charlie Christian, Berish writes "To adequately understand [his] musical drive, we first need to outline how the guitarist moved in the musical spaces he occupied and helped construct. Then we need to connect these musical enactments of mobility to his lived experience of space – the places where he lived and worked."
The task Berish sets for himself is straightforward enough — how does music create a sense of movement? Yet the actual undertaking of this question requires critical and creative thinking. Berish demonstrates both. In considering "how a sense of movement is generated" in music, he tells us "traditional musical analysis is insufficient" and instead "offer[s] some new ways to talk about [the] essential, and frequently overlooked, aspect of musical meaning." The prose is always engaging and thorough; the close reading of specific pieces of music is skilled and specialized; and the narrative arc of the study as a whole is exhilarating. This work shows us the deep connections between the musical practices of each artist over the course of his/her life, and in doing so, one might leave these pages with a stronger desire to understand the devotion to craft that makes each artist a valued contributor to the ever-unfolding history of jazz music.
"Roads," Berish tells us, "brought more than music — they brought new ways of hearing and understanding America." The same can be said of this book. Ranging from the high branches of literary and artistic theory to apocryphal tales, the writing is at once serious and accessible. In his own jazz-inflected way, Berish offers us original ways of grappling with the connections between music and place, and of reading the evolution of jazz music in the landscape and soundscape of a United States that was itself in transition.

On Thursday 2nd November, a special guest visited Old Clee Primary Academy. Pupils, staff and parents watched as the Mayor of North East Lincolnshire presented the newly-elected members of the School Council with the yellow jumpers which will allow them to be identified easily and quickly by pupils and staff alike. The Councillors then carried out their first job in their new role by interviewing the Mayor, and what a fantastic job they did!
Wednesday 18th October was Election Day at Old Clee Primary Academy. Pupils from each of the classes from Year One to Year Six presented the posters and delivered the speeches which they had been busy preparing as part of their campaigns. Every effort was made by each pupil to convince their classmates that they were the right candidate for the job!
Voting was carried out anonymously as each pupil placed their vote into the class ballot box.

Looking at the issues of spontaneous abortion, or termination of pregnancy, all events were pre-planned by the spirit prior to entry into this physical world. The incoming spirit is fully conscious of the social and medical background of the mother. Remember that the incoming spirit was a co-writer in scripting his or her life book in partnership with the two individuals that would facilitate conception.
One of the major reasons for any one of us coming into this physical world is to experience human emotions.
The spirit chooses the date and time of conception and death. There is no such thing as an accidental death. Death occurs when our contracted time on this planet expires. Our exit plan will play out when God agrees with our spiritual body, our soul body and our physical body that it is time to depart.
Recent changes in planetary energy have allowed some individuals to stay in physical form after their contracted exit date. This occurs when that individual agrees with God to take on a new spiritual contract and to serve humanity at a deeper level.
1They may be very evolved spiritual beings who can master a huge array of human emotions within a few weeks or months. In this case there is no need for them to prolong their existence within this physical world.
2The second category is the high vibrational beings that want to become physical but for some reason they need a trial run. Coming into physical form is a challenging event even for the spirit. Sometimes it takes more than one attempt. In such situations the spirit can reenter the mother, or perhaps someone else, at a later date. Learn more about the types of miscarriages.

Landform is delighted to confirm the go-ahead for 450 new homes at its Mickle Well Park site in Daventry.
Mickle Well Park, a 38 hectare (94 acre) site, is in an attractive location adjacent to the Grand Union Canal. It relates well to existing shops and public transport links. As it was an unallocated site we were gratified that consent was obtained at the committee stage. We engaged comprehensively with the local community throughout the planning process by holding design days and exhibitions when the public gave their views and participated in the design process.
Our hands-on approach to the planning process meant that the public were genuinely able to be part of the design process and shape the proposals. The result is that we arrived at a masterplan which is supported by the community, which we find hugely encouraging.
As part of the section 106 agreement, Landform has agreed to contribute £5m towards providing serviced land for a new 420 pupil primary school at the site, together with a major financial contribution towards the Daventry Development Link road and other town centre improvements. It also includes £900,000 to the Phoenix Youth Centre to extend the gym and modernise the premises. The scheme also includes a neighbourhood centre with health, community and retail facilities.
Landform hopes that work on the 450 homes will begin over the next six months, and think it could take three to four years to complete. The masterplan includes 24 plots for self-build homes, and 25% of the new homes will be for affordable housing. Landform is working with Orbit Homes, the country's biggest affordable homes provider, on this part of the scheme. Up to 400 new jobs are likely to be created because of the demand for skilled and unskilled workers.

Could hydrogen eclipse natural gas for our fires and central heating?
Some of us remember the days when 'town gas' was replaced by high speed gas: the natural gas we know today. The original town gas was derived from coal, whereas natural gas is methane based. Both coal gas and methane gas are carbon based. Hydrogen gas, isn't carbon based, making for a more environmentally friendly fuel. Could we be seeing it in our homes?
At the moment, hydrogen gas is used in a small number of appliances. It is an alternative to propane for camping stoves. For chefs, hydrogen based gas cooking doesn't cause dehydration. At present, it isn't a standard issue fuel for homeowners yet.
In the next decade, things could change. On the 21 June, the UK Government announced a £35 million funding package for two clean energy projects. £10 million has been allocated for the second phase of work by the Energy Systems Catapult on a Smart Systems and Heat Programme.
The remaining £25 million will go towards kickstarting a consumer-led hydrogen revolution. This, by means of a "range of hydrogen appliances such as boilers and cookers". In other words, a new alternative for the kitchen to gas, halogen, and electric hobs. In future years, heating systems could follow suit.
The new generation of carbon-free gas appliances may use solar powered electrolysis. Large electrolysers would produce hydrogen by means of renewable electricity sources. For example: solar panels. It is envisaged that the non-carbon based fuel would be distributed via pipes (like natural gas), metal hydride tanks, or gas canisters.

Industrialist and philanthropist Jon Huntsman Sr. has expressed an interest in buying The Salt Lake Tribune, saying its independent news voice is crucial to Utah.
But he says the U.S. Department of Justice has put a temporary clamp on any negotiations as federal lawyers examine changes made last fall to a joint operating agreement between Tribune owners and the rival Deseret News, owned by the Mormon church.
The deal slashes The Tribune's share of joint operating revenues from 58 percent to 30 percent.
Huntsman says while he's a "strong member" of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he thinks it would not be in the best interests of Utah residents if the state's news was dominated by a church- or politically-owned newspaper.
The 76-year-old Huntsman spoke to reporters Friday after groundbreaking ceremonies for a $105 million research wing at the University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City.

"Remember then: there is only one time that is important–Now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power."
— Leo Tolstoy
Do you find yourself looking forward to a particular season of the year? For landscape photographers, autumn's kaleidoscope of color is pretty hard to beat. As my kids are heading back to school this week, I started thinking about the great photographic opportunities I'd like to pursue this fall. Zion National Park (pictured above) is always high on my list. I'm also committed to capturing more of the autumn color in Utah's high country this year. And, I scored an online lottery permit to visit "The Wave" (Coyote Buttes, Northern AZ) in October(!).
By nature I'm a very future-oriented kind of guy. I'm really good (gold-medal Olympian good) at setting goals. Not as good at achieving them. My whiteboard at work mocks me daily as the unfinished projects and as-yet unattained goals stare down at me in disapproval. This strong "future bias" has worked its way into my photography, sometimes in unhelpful ways. For example, spending too much time thinking how great my photography will be when I get that dream lens (maybe the sweet Canon 24mm L tilt-shift lens?!), or when I own a $900 Gitzo tripod, or after I've purchased all the Guy Tal ebooks on photography, or…. (I could go on for a while).
We're probably each vulnerable to different forms of the "I'll be happy when…" trap. Maybe it's: when I get that raise, or when we get a new house, or when I get my teeth whitened, or after my boss retires, or after I retire. For some, the issue is more one of dwelling unhealthily in the past: revisiting disappointments, second-guessing choices, suffering from the abuses of others. Much of the work done in my business of clinical psychology is about helping people develop a healthier orientation to the past and/or the future.
Recently (in the past year, particularly), I've been focusing a lot more on savoring the present moment. I still work hard toward my goals and still let the past inform my current decisions and actions, but being fully present and engaged in this moment has made a big difference. One of the men I admire most in this world, Dieter F. Uchtdorf, explained it this way:
"The happiest people I know are not those who find their golden ticket; they are those who, while in pursuit of worthy goals, discover and treasure the beauty and sweetness of the everyday moments."
It's made a big difference practicing this kind of present-moment awareness on a regular basis. Savoring the infectious giggling of my 4-year-old daughter as I tickle her, appreciating that I have a healthy body that can climb mountains with relative ease, watching my wife while she's not looking and seeing that she's more beautiful than ever, studying with fascination the veins on a leaf, feeling thankful for air conditioning while my car is stuck in traffic, recognizing that my current camera gear is much better than I deserve…. Even during the inevitable mundane and difficult tasks that are part of life it's possible to "make room" for the distress or discomfort, "connect" with the moment, and move forward, acting in the present in ways that benefit the future. Someone who has cultivated the habit of making the most of every "now" can look back on a past of great moments lived, and has ensured the best possible future for themselves.
I'm still looking forward to the great photographic opportunities this fall, but as far as life goes, my favorite season is always NOW.
P.S. Resources along these lines I've found helpful in the past year:
The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris
Living in the Now by Gina Lake
Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zin
And one more quote for good measure:
"Present-moment living, getting in touch with your 'now,' is at the heart of effective living. When you think about it, there really is no other moment you can live. Now is all there is, and the future is just another present moment to live when it arrives. One thing is certain, you cannot live it until it does appear."
— Wayne Dyer

Swedish Education Embraces WORKproCA Loudspeakers
May, 2012
In 2011, Yamaha Commercial Audio announced an exclusive distribution agreement for Spanish manufacturer Equipson's WORKproCA contractor series. Since then, the series has been used in a wide range of installations across Europe. One sector that has seen extensive use of the products is Swedish education, where systems need to be both efficient and highly cost-effective.
Malmö-based AV Syd is one of Sweden's leading AV sales and installation companies. The company has found the WORKproCA range to be very popular for its education clients.
"Our school installations are usually a package deal with a projector, speakers, screen (or interactive whiteboard) and so on," says Magnus Kronström, AV Syd Purchasing Manager.
"We have done many school installations using the WORKproCA Neo 60 Ai loudspeakers and they have been an unqualified success. Budgets are always tight in the education sector and being able to install a versatile unit that is highly cost-effective, yet both sounds and looks good is of great benefit to both our clients and to us as a supply and installation company."
Recent such installations that feature the Neo 60 Ai loudspeakers include 15 classrooms at the Ekbackeskolan school in Osby, 10 classrooms in the Korsbackaskolan school at Kävlinge, five at Frölundaskolan in Göteborg and two in Dammhagsskolan at Landskrona.
The Neo 60 Ai is a self-powered, two-way unit which is supplied as a matched pair of active and passive loudspeakers. Each features a 6.5 inch driver and a one inch tweeter with an output of 30w. The active unit features a Class D amplifier for minimal weight and heat, with integrated volume, bass and treble controls and a built in anti-clip circuit.
Available in black or white, it features a wall-mount bracket with fast mounting system. Measuring 200 x 290 x 175 mm, pairs of Neo 60 Ai can be mounted precisely where sound is needed, with the minimum of difficulty.

The Handwriting's On The Wall Lyrics
©2008, Music & Lyrics by Leila Vey
Another hour wasted watching hands move on the wall,
Another night of waiting to hear footsteps in the hall.
You should know better than to plan this night for two.
Ah, you know, girl, after a working day
He won't have anything left for you.
Another broken promise; there's that glazed look in his eye.
Another day of rain falling from a clear blue sky.
How can the heart stay open when the trust is all but gone.
When all that's left of love is just a broken hearted song?
And the handwriting's on the wall;
Ambivalence has come to call.
Another nail in the coffin of a dream gone sour,
Another fatal blow to the ivory tower.
Yeah, the handwriting's on the wall;
This one's heading for a fall.
Another day of talking but you know he'll never hear.
All alone you wander in a sea of aimless fear.
It's not so bad right now, but what's in store around the bend?
At any time the world could turn and you'll be praying for an end.
Yeah, this one's heading for a fall.

Mike Sutter, the Statesman restaurant critic, assembles breakfast al fresco from vendors at the Downtown Farmer's Market at Republic Square. This is what makes the weekend so special.
The Saturday morning commotion in Republic Square Park included the flash and jingle of a children's parade and lots of laughing babies, cool dads and scrap-hunting dogs. The line for peaches stretched 15 people deep. And that's when I knew assembling a farmers' market breakfast was going to require battalion-style planning: Map out the booths, assess the lines and make sure the hot stuff stays hot and the cool stuff doesn't evaporate in the sun.
A farmers' market breakfast: Laughing babies, hungry dogs, grass-fed popsicles and a BLT as big as the outdoors

New Delhi: Ringing Bells' Freedom 251 took the world by storm it was launched and declared as the world's cheapest smartphone at just Rs 251. Much was said and written about the smartphone – both negative and positive.
And even before the first Freedom 251 could be delivered, a Bangalore-based company has launched the Namotel Acche Din smartphone pricing it at just Rs 99, thus making it the cheapest smartphone ever.
With a 4-inch display, Android 5.1 Lollipop, 1.3GHz quadcore processor along with 1 GB RAM, it is a smartphone that gives tough competition to Freedom 251 in every which way possible.
So, here is a comparison of the world's two cheapest smartphones.
DISPLAY: Both the smartphones feature a 4-inch display. However, while there is no exact specification for Acche Din, Freedom 251 claims a qHD IPS display for its screen.
OPERATING SYSTEM: Both the Acche Din and Freedom 251 smartphones run on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
PROCESSOR: Again, both the smartphone are powered by the same 1.3 GHz quad-core processor.
MEMORY: Freedom 251 wins in this section with 8GB internal memory to Achhe Din's 4GB of internal memory. However, both the smartphones support microSD card with expandable option up to 32GB each.
RAM: They are both supported by 1GB RAM.
CAMERA: With a 3.2MP rear camera and a 0.3MP front-facing camera, Freedom 251 has a minor upper hand to Namotel Acche Din's 2MP rear camera and 0.3MP front-facing camera.
BATTERY: Not really a big difference here but Freedom 251's 1450 mAh battery is just a litte bigger than Acche Din's 1325 mAh battery.
CONNECTIVITY: Both the handsets support 3G, Bluetooth and other connectivity options.
PRICE: Freedom 251 was the world's cheapest smartphone at Rs 251 untill Namotel Acche Din came in at Rs 99.

Scaling-up strategies for pilot research experiences.
This review, commissioned by the DFID NRSP Hillsides Research Programme, had the objective of identifying appropriate strategies to accelerate uptake of innovations by target farmers and providing a framework to guide the formulation of scaling-up processes of innovation facilitation. The review methodology included analysis of the key literature, an electronic discussion, a mid-term workshop with various stakeholders (researchers, NGOs) from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe and a detailed case study analysis.
While no blueprint methods for scaling-up can be found, the report concludes from case studies and wider experiences that creating an impact from research results has in the past focused heavily on the \"post-project\" stage, meanwhile many of the key strategies which have been identified as prerequisites for successful scaling-up need to be addressed more extensively in the pre-project and implementation phase.
As a response to this major shortcoming a strategic review framework was developed which places its main emphasis on the preparatory and implementation stages of research projects. Finally conclusions and recommendations for the implementation of the framework were developed.

Protecting Jobs in Canada's Forest Sector
The Harper Government is making investments in Canada's forest sector that are improving the environmental performance of mills and helping to position the industry at the forefront of the clean energy economy.
The Government is working with industry, provincial governments and other key stakeholders to help transform our forest industry and to help it take advantage of the growing bioeconomy, where innovation and environmental performance are key.
Today, as part of a $278 million investment in mills across the country, the Harper Government is investing $10.4 million in Irving Paper through the Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program.
To conserve energy year-round, Irving will install equipment at its two Saint John mills to capture and recover waste steam that is currently released into the atmosphere and will modify its processes so that the mills can maximize the use of low-pressure steam.
As a result of the projects, the mills will be able to collectively save nearly 580,000 gigajoules of energy a year — enough to power more than 13,000 homes. In addition, the projects will result in a reduction of greenhouse gases by more than 31,000 tonnes per year — equivalent to the emissions produced by over 8,600 cars.
Promoting Forest Innovation and Investment
The key to a strong future for the forest sector is to promote innovation and entrepreneurial activity within a competitive business environment. The Harper Government is working to help Canada's forest sector take advantage of new market opportunities by researching innovative products that meet the needs of the marketplace.
As outlined in Canada's Economic Action Plan, the Harper Government has delivered $170 million over two years to improve the forest sector's long-term competitiveness through renewed investments in market diversification and forest innovation. This funding includes $120 million to help promote forest innovation and investment and $50 million to expand market opportunities for Canadian forest products.
Other key Harper Government initiatives in support of forest sector sustainability and renewal include the $1-billion Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program. Budget 2010: Leading the Way on Jobs and Growth committed an additional $100 million over four years to support the development and commercialization of advanced technologies in the forest sector.
In addition to its ongoing support of Canada's forest industry, the Harper Government established the $1-billion Community Adjustment Fund and the $1-billion Community Development Trust to help reduce the short-term impacts of economic restructuring in single-industry communities facing challenges as a result of the global economic downturn.

Product name :CLIA Human Serum Progesterone
Catalog Number :CAN-P-6050
Quantity :96 Wells/Kit
Price :204.75 Eur
Pay now with :
Supplier :DBC
2-Methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one: At a final concentration from 0.001-0.05% is used as a preservative in the following components of the kit: Calibrators and Control, HRP Conjugate Concentrate, Assay Buffer, LIA Substrate Reagent C and Wash Buffer Concentrate.
LIA Substrate Reagent A: Contains two proprietary ingredients, both measured 3%-5% by weight.
LIA Substrate Reagent B: Contains hydrogen peroxide (.0.03%).
For the direct quantitative determination of progesterone in human serum by a chemiluminescence immunoassay (LIA). For in vitro use only.
The principle of the following chemiluminescence immunoassay (LIA) test follows the typical competitive binding scenario. Competition occurs between an unlabeled antigen (present in standards, control and patient samples) and an enzyme-labelled antigen (conjugate) for a limited number of antibody binding sites on the microwell plate. The washing and decanting procedures remove unbound materials. After the washing step, the luminescence substrate solution is added. The relative luminescence units (RLUs) are measured on a microtiter plate luminometer. The RLU values are inversely proportional to the concentration of progesterone in the sample. A set of calibrators are used to plot a standard curve from which the amount of progesterone in patient samples and controls can be directly read.
Progesterone is a C-21 female sex steroid hormone with a variety of physiological effects. In the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, progesterone is produced in low levels. It increases to the LH peak and then sharply rises 3 to 4 days later to higher levels, remaining elevated through the 10th to 12th days after the LH peak. Then there is a sharp decline to the low levels of the follicular phase. It is responsible for the induction of the cyclic changes in the endometrium of the uterus allowing implantation and successful growth of the fertilized ovum and maintenance of pregnancy.
Progesterone measurements are used in documenting ovulation and in the management of difficulties during the first trimester of pregnancy. Levels of progesterone may be useful in the evaluation of sterility due to luteal phase defects, prediction of impending abortion, and the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.
Drugs such as oral contraceptives, superovulatory drugs, estrogen replacement therapy medication, and GnRH analogues may affect normal values of progesterone. The removal of ovarian function following surgical oophorectomy or chemotherapy may influence serum progesterone values.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Car Insurance Comparisons and other Car Insurance topics.
If you've stayed up late in the recent past, you've probably seen a car insurance company commercial. You might have seen a commercial with a cute mascot, a cartoon disciplinarian, a perky customer service representative, or even a sedate adult with a soothing voice. Watching a car insurance company commercial at 3 o'clock in the morning may seem as odd to you as seeing a pizza commercial at a time when no pizza place is actually open and operating, but there's an important difference: You may not be able to order pizza at 3 AM, but you sure can get an auto insurance policy.
You can get instant auto insurance quotes on evenings, weekends, and even holidays by simply turning on your computer. And not only can you get instant auto insurance quotes, you can also even commit to a policy if you find one that works for you. Imagine that--while the whole country slumbers, you can be fiscally responsible and find an affordable auto insurance policy that protects the financial interests of you and your family. After that, you're certain to have sweet dreams.

In this study, uncoated paper was characterized. Three-dimensional structure of the layer was reconstructed using imaging results of micro-CT scanning with a relatively high resolution \0.9~\upmu \hbox {m}\. Image analysis provided the pore space of the layer, which was used to determine its porosity and pore size distribution. Representative elementary volume REV size was determined by calculating values of porosity and permeability values for varying domain sizes. We found that those values remained unchanged for domain sizes of \400\times 400\times 150\,\upmu \hbox {m}^{3}\ and larger; this was chosen as the REV size. The determined REV size was verified by determining capillary pressure–saturation Open image in new window imbibition curves for various domain sizes. We studied the directional dependence of Open image in new window curves by simulating water penetration into the layer from various directions. We did not find any significant difference between Open image in new window curves in different directions. We studied the effect of compression of paper on Open image in new window curves. We found that up to 30% compression of the paper layer had very small effect on the Open image in new window curve. Relative permeability as a function of saturation was also calculated. Water penetration into paper was visualized using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Dynamic visualization of water flow in the paper showed that water moves along the fibers first and then fills the pores between them.

Leading specialist and manager of Windows Storage and File System division Surendra Verma explains that ReFS will be based on NTFS and preserve compatibility with the key features and at the same time it will be an entirely different architecture. Some features and semantics of NTFS would be eliminated, including support for short names, object ID, compression, encryption at the level of files (EFS), disk limits (quotas), data flows, transactions, sparse files, extended attributes and hard links.
ReFS data structure organised as B+ trees
ReFS key goals
- Preserve maximum compatibility with a set of widely used NTFS features and get rid of unnecessary features that only complicate the system
- Data verification and automatic correction
- Maximum scalability.
- Inability of complete shutdown of file system due to isolation of bad sectors.
- Flexible architecture using such function as Storage Spaces specially created for and implemented in ReFS.
ReFS key functions
(some are available from Storage Spaces only)
- Integrity of metadata with checksums.
- Integrity streams: method of data recording to disk for additional protection of data in the event of partial disk failure.
- Transaction model "allocate on write" (copy on write)
- Large volume, file and directory sizes. Volume size is limited to 278 bites under cluster size of 16 KB (264 * 16 * 210), stack Windows supports 264. Maximum number of files in directory: 264. Maximum number of directories in volume: 264.
- Storage pooling and virtualization makes file system creation and management easy.
- Data striping for performance (bandwidth can be managed) and redundancy for fault tolerance.
- Disk scrubbing for protection against latent disk errors.
- Resiliency to corruptions with "salvage" for maximum volume availability in all cases.
- Shared storage pools across machines for additional failure tolerance and load balancing.
Additionally, ReFS will inherit many functions and semantics of NTFS, including BitLocker encryption, access control lists, USN journal, change notifications, symbolic links, junction points, mount points, reparse points, volume snapshots, file IDs and oplocks.
Of course, data stored on ReFS will be accessible for clients through the same APIs, that are used today on all operating systems that can access NTFS volumes.

What is net metering
Net metering allows residential energy consumers to get credit for the energy they produce on their property. Say a homeowner has installed solar panels on the roof of their home, yet does not use all of the energy that the solar panels produce every month. Net metering enables the homeowner to get credit for the excess energy from their energy provider.
The current rules
Currently, our net metering rules allow for a homeowner to utilize all of the power their solar panels generate and then receive credit at a wholesale rate or 'avoided cost' for any excess energy. The rules also include a grandfathering clause which locks in the rates, for the excess energy, for the life of the system. Meaning, if the homeowner installed solar panels with the understanding that they would receive a 1-for-1 kWh credit for each kWh excess their system produced, that 1-for-1 credit is locked in for the life of their solar panels.
The changes
The proposed change has the potential to eliminate net metering all together, opening the door for a 'Buy all, Sell all' market meaning that the homeowner would be forced to sell all of the energy his solar panels produce to his utility at avoided cost and then buy all of the energy his family uses at the standard retail rate. This would also apply to existing solar customers as the proposal only includes a grandfathering clause for five years. So even though the homeowner made an investment based on a certain understanding, the new rules are poised to turn the tables on him to where his investment may not 'pencil out'.

The best Side of camelbacks for runnersI read from plenty of people and Sites that you couldn't do it in at some point, but I believe if things go nicely, and you've got qualified (I did) for the hike, then it's not at all difficult to have it done.
Hi, This web site is excellent! We will likely be camping at Kalalau Seaside in late Oct, does one propose a sleeping bag or just a few dresses in addition to a blanket? I discovered temps at night might be all-around sixty eight to 75 levels File.
My fiance and I is going to be heading to Kaua'i arrive the start of January and staying in Hanalei. To start with, I know it will be seasonally soaked, is it even inspired to hike the Na Pali coast right now?
As a choice, there is excellent tent / bunk camping within the YMCA camp in Haena for $15 / night. In summer the camp is booked but Sept. - April Room obtainable tenting is peaceful and Protected (in contrast to the Seaside park).
Good day Monica - some close friends just came outside of Kalalau yesterday and said which the path is in very good condition. This is essentially because of the perform of some volunteers (not the DLNR).
I'm thinking of mountaineering the Kalalau trail in at some point (22 miles or as many as I can supplied my time constraints).
Steven - Kalalau is a troublesome hike but it is also remarkable and very rewardig. Every person is different with regard to athletic potential and comfort in steep terrain (see some before posts home which make this hike look horrible). Get the permits beforehand if at all possible.
In case you get to the trailhead too late for mile two, a possibility would be the Kee Seaside at the trailhead, Though I would just take into consideration this feature in the event of an crisis, because there was no fresh h2o or campsites there.
We've been intending to hike The full Kalalau trail in May possibly. We wish to remain 1 evening in the campsite and return next working day.
Hi Jo - Na Pali has a number of streams that operate well as water sources. You'll have to treat the water, but there is no shortage (Here is the Backyard Island In any case). W
Terrific site - seriously educational. Brief problem about permits, I am about to attempt and get a allow for when I head there up coming month but from what I've go through below It appears I could have some troubles. Are they genuinely demanding relating to this (ie do they flip individuals back again?)
two. Sure, the trail IS slim in certain areas but it's been this way because I was a kid. I have never heard of anyone slipping off the trail.
Peter - There's little purpose to hire an SUV on Kauai. Just like most SUV's - They're extra for design than precise off street use. W
Pack light and get to Kalalau once you could. If you are in fair shape this check that is incredibly doable in one day.

This past Sunday, Benfica completed the Portuguese treble by defeating Rio Ave 1-0 for the 2014 Taça de Portugal Final. During the game, the Portuguese Giants wore their brand new 2014/2015 adidas Home Shirt, which brought a victory that should help fans recover from their Europa League final loss to Sevilla on penalties.
This new Camisola for As Águias is characterized by the a compass and quadrant inspired watermark design that was already seen with this years' Champions League Final Match Ball design, honoring the Portuguese maritime history. Applied in a slightly darker tone of red, the design helps the club's crest pop up on the left chest, with a matching darker V-neck collar and cuffs. On the opposite side, the adidas logo, together with the three stripes branding on the sleeves and sponsor logo Meo, bring a bit of white to an overall simple and clean design.
Benfica fans will hope this new design keeps the victories coming, setting their eyes on finally breaking the European curse that has kept the club from winning the Europa League despite finishing one of the most successful seasons in the club's recent history. If you support Benfica, you can get yours now at World Soccer Shop.
