As a small girl I made a game of swatting bees flying around the honeysuckle vines that grew around our house in Longview, Texas. This activity led me to my first discovery of birds. One day a hummingbird (a Ruby-throated hummingbird, I came to find out many years later) found its way into our screened porch and frantically tried to find its way out. We did not know about luring it out with a hummingbird feeder (did they even have hummingbird feeders in the early 70's?) my two brothers and I decided to help the poor little bird. We went in the house and got our sister's Pier One giant heavyweight fishing net–remember the ones everyone was using to decorate their ceilings with plastic lobsters and other ocean-themed paraphernalia? My brothers and I then with great effort, threw the net over the hummingbird–dropping the hapless bird and pinning it against the tile floor. Looking back I'm amazed we didn't kill it. We put it in a five gallon bucket and studied it for a short time before releasing it back among the honeysuckle. I was 7. I also remember that my mother would point out buzzards and chicken hawks when we would go for long drives. She even named one bird correctly–the Scissor-tail, though she left off the flycatcher part. That was my introduction to birds.
At 10 we moved to the Lower Rio Grande Valley. I was still ignorant of nearly all natural history, especially birds. I even made fun of the birdwatcher kid in my neighborhood…sorry John. One thing always puzzled me–what was that noise every spring that woke me from sound sleep? I knew it was birds but I didn't know to wonder what kind. One day our church friends took us to Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, a place I imagined that the government brought in for us because they thought we needed nature so badly in the otherwise denuded Valley. There, we fed popcorn to big chickenlike birds. Chachalacas! Who knew they existed? I didn't connect Chachalacas with the loud calls in the mornings until many years later.
At 22 I decided I wanted to become an earth mother and moved to Austin, Texas. I lived for a month before I got word my mother's cancer had come back and moved on to her liver. That put a damper on my freewheeling, partying lifestyle. A few months later I moved back to Harlingen to be close to her again. I got my first apartment, where I started two life long interests–using natives in landscaping and becoming a birder. The native landscaping was easy…I pulled all the tall non-native grasses-not knowing they were non-native–and left the pretty groundcover with the yellow flowers that had flourished underneath. I called what I was doing landscaping on a budget. Come to find out later the yellow flowers were horseherb Calyptocarpus vialis, a native plant. All I knew was the yard looked better with that cute little plant than with bare dirt.
The birding part, well, that was a bit more involved. Having my new place all set and being a wannabe gourmet cook I invited my girlfriend over to have croissant sandwiches and homemade soup. The table was set with knockoff Fiestaware dishes and the scrumptious lunch laid out, we began to enjoy the meal when I saw something amazing. Outside in the most beautiful array of bright yellow flowers–I now know were Mexican Poinciana, Caesalpinia mexicana–-sat a bright shining jewel. A bird like none I had ever seen before. It was five different colors: blue, green, yellow, red, and orange. I was stupified. Awestruck. I set out that day to find someone who could tell me what the bird was.
In the days before the internet and not knowing I could go to the local library and check out a field guide, I set out to find a person with the knowledge I needed. Two weeks later at a wedding where I was hired to do the bride's hair I overheard a fellow talking about birds. He was a bird painter. He was able to tell me the bird I had seen was a painted bunting. Well…Let's just say after three months I was a full fledged birder and married to the bird painter. It was a great ride. He gave me the moon and a son and my passion for birding–tropical birding at that. He also introduced me to blue lizards.
That marriage is long over and now I have Jeff, my new husband and birding companion. This one is going to last forever. This year is my 22nd year of birding. I have had a charmed birding life. Seeing my first whooping crane with Roger Tory Peterson and driving Dan Lane to see his first Botteri's Sparrow as a young birder are among the many highlights. So is being a founding member of the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, the artist liaison there for 10 years, and the co-creator of the kids' program and the native plant tours at the Festival. I'm now looking to help build a new festival in Delaware.
I count as one of my biggest accomplishments bringing birding into the reach of kids. Just helping kids to be aware that the flash out of the corner of one's eye could be something wonderful. Helping them to know that the music of the forest has a bird or bug or frog behind it for them to discover–to think about what is around them. That is my biggest joy. I give back to to the earth by helping others see its beauty. My passion is a love for all things, good, bad and stinky. I hope to share this passion with the world through these writings. That is my goal.

Illinois Boosting the Budget With Gambling Expansion
The unstable financial situation in which the state of Illinois is at present, could be improved in the near future with the latest draft bill.
The adoption of this bill would allow the building of six new casinos in the Prairie State with the main goal of such move to improve the state's budget.
Gambling Is the Answer
Apart from the gambling expansion, the State would lower the taxes and allow addition of slot machines at airports and racetracks.
All eyes are on the latest bill, since its introduction could resolve the accumulated financial problems. "Grand bargain", as it is called, has the support of the Senate, but that's just the first step towards the actual realization.
What That Would Mean in Practice
If everything goes as planned, a total of six new casinos will be built in Chicago, Lake County, Rockford, Danville and Williamson County. In addition, airports and racetracks will be allowed to add slot machines to their premises.
The new bill will lower the current tax rate from 50% to 20% for slot machines, and 16% for table games, and the maximum number of seats per casino will be increased to 400.
In terms of finance, Illinois could generate up to $1 billion from licence fees with an increase in revenue of over $500 million. Not to mention new workplaces the six new casinos would bring.
Not Everyone Agrees
There are many who think the gambling expansion is not the best way to deal with the financial issues. Among them is Anita Bedell from Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems, who claims the cost outweighs the profit, since the state will have to invest more money in dealing with problem gambling and crime.
She also thinks the State should have considered legalizing online gambling, because of its popularity and bigger competitiveness.
Unfortunately, this is not among the plans of the Illinois legislators at this time, which means Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey will remain the only US states where online gambling is legal.

We are working closely with the Police over the coming days, and the event will be appropriately resourced, and we look forward to welcoming Courteeners fans to the stadium."

Our stay at The Grand Blue D was absolutely fabulous. I would highly recommend the place if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Cape Town. We were treated as if we were part of their family. The place is beautiful and their staff are the most helpful and friendly that I have come across.The location is excellent. There are shops, restaurants, a petrol station, take aways, a supermarket and a bus stop all very near by. We were that impressed with The Grand Blue D that we left our second location a day early so we could spend one more day there before our journey back home. Thank you so much to Daniel, Bilal, Yussuf, Helen, Rebecca and Anderson for making our stay at The Grand Blue D something that we will always remember.

José Venancio López is widely recognised as one of the world's leading futsal coaches. The current Spanish National Team Head Coach has had repeated success at both club and international level. After finishing a playing career that included representing his country, he became head coach at some of Spain's top clubs including Caja Segovia and Lobelle Santiago where he had both domestic and international success. These achievements led him to become the leader of the Spanish National Team in 2007 after Javier Lozano left the post.
He has carried on his predecessor's success by winning three European Championships and two World Cup Silver medals, after a couple of epic battles against the all-powerful Brazil. In 2010 he
won the Grand Prix, the competition that is organised by and held in Brazil and features some of the world's strongest nations. It is the only time Spain has participated and the only time the hosts have not been crowned champions. An amazing statistic is that in over 100 games with Spain he has never lost a match in regular time.
One example of this is the upcoming International Clinic for coaches that will take place in Milan, Italy in June. In last year's edition of this clinic I translated for him and I can verify that it was an invaluable learning experience for all attendees, no matter their level of experience.
This year he will talk about defence at the clinic, which will be simultaenously delivered in English, Italian and Spanish. Defence is one of the many subjects in which he is an expert. In fact, he formulated his own defence, known as "Exchange Defence" which has helped bring him great success during his career. Below you will find my interview with this leading figure in the world of futsal where we cover several topics.
The level of the Brazilian and Spanish National Teams is very even. In the last two World Cups Spain has lost to them in the final on penalties and the last seconds of extra-time. What does Spain need to do to win in 2016?
The truth is that we are very equal. The difference has been in the small details, above all in the decisive moments. Finishing is the aspect where they have been better.
You have slowly been integrating a new generation of players into the national team. Will they play in the same style as the previous one that brought Spain so much success or will there be in an evolution in the way they play?
The style will always be maintained, I am not going to modify my idea on how to play. But, also, you have to adapt yourself to the players you have in order to get the maximum performance from them and, therefore, the team.
In recent years many of the foreign players have left the Spanish league. Is this better for the national team because there are more Spanish players featuring in the top division or worse because the standard of the league has dropped?
Everything has an influence but the good thing is that the young players can play in the Premier Division and get minutes, which will help them mature quicker. In this aspect it is a great benefit for the Spanish player.
You employ the "Exchange Defence" in your teams. You were the first to utilise this defence? Why do you choose this system?
Yes, I was the first to use this defensive system, it was a mix of the zonal defence and man-to-man defence. I choose this system, fundamentally, because the idea of playing defence is to press in order that the rival doesn't progress and recuperate the ball quickly. This system enables that and also keeps the first defensive line high.
In the International Clinic for coaches in Milan this June you are going to present on defence. What is the key to a good defence and its training?
The key is the mastery of the defensive fundamentals and, therefore, you must master those defensive fundamentals. Evidently the key to a team defending well is training. The work in training is fundamental to improve any aspect.
Finally, Spain has produced coaches that are working in the best clubs and national teams around the world. What has been the key to this success?
The development that Spanish coaches have, through the Coaches' School of the Real Federación Española de Futbol, is the best. I believe that the RFEF courses form coaches to a high standard. In addition, their work in Spanish clubs allows them to gain experience and there are a lot of competitions that enable the coaches to share and see many ideas and philosophies. These enrich the knowledge of the coaches.

How much experience is required to become travel nurse?
A minimum of one year of recent experience in your specialty area, preferably in a hospital setting, to become a traveling nurse.
How long are travel assignments?
A Most travel assignments are 13 weeks in duration. Some may be as short as 8 weeks or as long as 52 weeks.
If I like my assignment, can I stay longer?
It depends. Recruiters love when a nurse extends an assignment (and many offer bonuses for extending) but whether or not they are able to offer you an extension depends largely on the needs of the facility.
I am moving to another state, can travel nursing help me cover the cost of relocation?
Absolutely. Many nurses embark on a travel assignment for the sole purpose of receiving financial assistance to make the move as well as get to know other nurses in the area.
I am a LPN/LVN, can I travel?
Some companies do have travel assignments available for Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurses, but the primary function of this site is to connect Registered Nurses with Travel Companies.
Can my family join me on an a travel assignment?
Yes. Travel Nursing is a wonderful way to travel with family or friends.
What is the pay like for a travel nurse?
Travel nursing pay is generally higher than equally experienced permanent staff.

A leading local manufacturer has enjoyed a hat-trick after picking up three regional accolades at this year's prestigious Engineering Employers Federation Future Manufacturing Awards.
Acorn Stairlifts, a Steeton-based stairlift manufacturer and installer, which employs over 1,400 staff worldwide, won the Business Growth Award, the Outstanding Export Award and was named as runner-up in the Smart Product category.
The Business Growth Award, sponsored by DHL Global Forwarding celebrates the achievements of manufacturers that have achieved dynamic business growth through actively managed and consistently delivered growth strategies. Acorn's turnover in North America has trebled from £19.5m to £58.6m in the past four years. During this time, Acorn's worldwide exports have more than doubled from £35.7m to almost £80m. Every nine minutes, an Acorn stairlift is installed somewhere in the world.
It was also named the winner of the Outstanding Export Award. This award was given in recognition of its achievements, exporting into more than 80 different countries. It has invested heavily in overseas markets by setting up its own subsidiaries in the USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The company's turnover in North America is now higher than in the UK and it is the market leader for stairlifts in the US.
The company also scooped up a silver medal in the Smart Product Award sponsored by Siemens, with its FastTrack system which allows the company to install a stairlift on a non-standard curved staircase faster than any of its competitors.
The company picked up its awards after being selected by a panel of judges drawn from business leaders, industry experts and academics. Its success is even more impressive as it was up against stiff competition from a range of successful businesses, small and large, from across the North East, Yorkshire and Humberside region.
With the two regional titles under its belt, Acorn Stairlifts will now go on to compete for national titles at an awards gala dinner in London in January next year.
Dave Belmont, Company Secretary at Acorn Stairlifts, says: "Our success in winning these awards is down to our team's hard work and dedication. We are delighted to have won and been recognised in this way. Not only does it demonstrate the valuable contribution made by local manufacturers like ourselves, but it also puts us on the map as a modern and innovative company. This is great news for us to share with all our staff, customers and suppliers.
"It's fantastic to get this far and now we're all looking forward to the national finals in January to see how we measure up against other leading manufacturers from across the UK."
Paul Cunningham, Vice President Sales and Marketing at DHL Global Forwarding, says: "The quest for business growth is key to the economic success of local communities and the UK as a whole – and manufacturers are leading the way. These awards are justly deserved and Acorn Stairlifts should be applauded for their efforts. We wish them the best of luck for the national finals."

hpr2706 :: Why I love the IBM AS/400 computer systemsReleased on 2018-12-17 under a CC-BY-SA license.
This is a talk about my love for the IBM family of AS/400 computer systems.
Although it's a very hacker unfriendly system there is still much to admire and love.
It's completely different from anything else which makes it nice but also very likely to disappear in few years from now. To prevent that piece of computing history to vanish I started a small initiative called http://www.as400museum.org/. It's just me, but it does show my intention with the system.
hpr2683 :: Using Open source tools to visualize the heartrate and blood oxygen saturation level of my stepchildReleased on 2018-11-14 under a CC-BY-SA license.
Using Python, PHP, JQuery and Linux to visualize the heartrate and blood oxygen saturation level of my stepdaughter.
Jeroen Baten talks about how he used his knowledge of a couple of open source tools to visualize the heartrate and oxygen saturation in the blood of one of his children and how this aided a pediatrician at the Wilhelmina childrens hospital to come to the right conclusion and treatment. This talk is a mix of tech and 43 surgery sessions on one single human being.
- Details, including source code, graphs and all can be found here:
Editor's Note
Jeroen's link above was added after the show had been aired.
hpr2657 :: Why we are all going to shit in 30 years due to computersReleased on 2018-10-09 under a CC-BY-SA license.
Now, this is not a doom and gloom lecture.
Actually it is a talk about what is going to happen in the next 30 years.
It is a talk about what is called "postcapitalism".
It is a talk about how almost all jobs are going to disappear due to automation. But also how we are going to think about this this and come up with solutions.
It talks about the three big challenges we need to face.
And yes, this involves you as well!
hpr2635 :: Running your own mainframe on Linux (for fun and profit)Released on 2018-09-07 under a CC-BY-SA license.
Yes, this talk is about running your own mainframe on your own hardware. Mainframes are old, yes, but they are still very much alive. New hardware is still being developed and there are a lot of fresh jobs in this area too. A lot of mainframes run COBOL workloads. COBOL is far from a dead language. It processes an estimated 85% of all business transactions, and 5 billion lines of new COBOL code are written every year. In this session the speaker will help you in take your first steps towards running your own mainframe. If you like then after this session you can continue to build your knowledge of mainframe systems using the links provided during the talk. Come on in and learn the basics of a completely different computer system! And it will take you less than an hour to do that!

So after getting back to running again in week 16/17, I am now just concentrating on building up the mileage rather than speed / hill work. Berlin is now less than 4 weeks away so I will get the miles in the for next 3 weeks then take week 21 easy before flying out to Berlin. Over the next 3 weeks I have a 10k race, half marathon and a 2-mile swim all before Berlin so its a busy month. Once back from Berlin, the fun doesn't stop there!! I will be taking part in the Bear Grylls Survival race 6 days after the Berlin Marathon and then the Last of the Summer Tri which will be my first sprint distance triathlon, in Yorkshire. So yeh, September is going to be a busy month, but hopefully lots of bling, good memories and no injuries to show for it.
Week 18
Monday – Having ran Sat & Sun I decided against running again today, although I think I will get back into running daily again later in the week now the injury feels long gone. This morning was a 1,625yrd (1-mile) pool swim, that is the furthest I have swam to date and I felt good, not tired or out of breath at the end so I think I am looking ok for a longer swim and the 2-mile goal looks achievable now. The more swimming I do the better I will get at it so just keep at it. Straight after swimming I biked back home which was a 13.8-mile ride at 16mph ave speed. This was all about getting a feel and confidence cycling straight after a swim, a 1-mile swim in this case. A sprint triathlon swim is only 400m so I think I am good to go for sprint and probably olympic distance and with 9 months to go before Ironman 70.3 Staffordshire I feel in a good place for that as well. I am yet to sign up for Ironman Staffs but fully intend on doing so once registration opens on 13th Sept, I think this will be a good training event for the full Ironman UK a month later.
Tuesday – No Run today, but 6.5 mile ride to the station and a slightly longer 10.1 mile ride back home after work.
Wednesday – With not running yesterday I went for a longer than planned 10k lunchtime run, it was quite warm and sunny today, I ran in 44:55 so I am pleased to come in with a sub 45 but can definitely improve on that with better morning nutrition.
Thursday – Started the day off with a early morning 1k tempo swim in the pool, finishing up in 24:33 which is just over 2 mins quicker than my previous 1k PB, I am started to feel a little more confident with my swimming now. After yesterday's 10k lunchtime run I thought I would give it another go today having eaten better during the morning. The weather wasn't the best, it started to pour down as I was running, I was that wet my shirt and shorts were sticking to me and feet squelching but I did it in 42:51 which I think is either my 2nd or 3rd fastest 10k.
Thursday nights are open water swimming at Boundary Park, this time I managed to get my wetsuit on by myself and took the time to get used to the water temp before swimming. This was a massive help, this time I didn't struggle with breathing or the cold, despite the water being 2c cooler than Sunday (it was cloudy tonight). I did three laps of the lake without stopping, clocking up 1 mile in 37:46, around 7 minutes faster than last Monday's 1-mile pool swim. I am really enjoying swimming in the wetsuit and in the lake, I felt comfortable and able to pace myself so that I was fairly fast (2:08/100yrd) but able to maintain that speed for the duration of the swim. The target for this Sunday is to swim 1.5-miles and then try to get in a 2-mile swim before the Swim Serpentine on the 16th Sept.
Friday – Rest Day.
Saturday – My 16th Congleton Parkrun in some very autumnal conditions. It was a cool, damp, foggy September morning. Not the nice warm sun of last week, I was aiming for a 6:30 pace on this one, first mile was 6:28, second 6:28, then slowed slightly on the third mile to 6:32 giving an average over the 3.2-miles of 6:29 and a 20:08 coming home 15th overall. Target pace met and a nice low 20min 5k. A good mornings work. I have decided to try to register for the Tatton 10k tomorrow morning and get in another race, it has been 6 weeks since my last race and although I am running next weeks Sandbach 10k I'd like to get some good speed work in this week.
Sunday – I did get into the Tatton 10k with massive thanks to my Instagram friend Caithy Walker who sorted me out with a bib, check out my short race recap here – TATTON 10k – RACE RECAP, also please take the time to have a read of Caithy's blog, she has some great posts and some really motivational stuff caithywalker.com.
After the mornings run it was back to Boundary Park for another 1.5-mile swim, or that was the plan. I swam 1-mile then noticed that I had not started my Garmin, although I am 99% sure I did do, a duck or fish must have stopped it. At that point I lost interest and got out, feeling a little deflated that I had not tracked my swim so I could not track my progress. Although that being said, that was my 2nd 1-mile open water swim of the week so really pleased with that. Today it was cloudy and raining and quite choppy, all new conditions for me so to get in 1-mile in that felt good once I was over the Garmin fail.
Running Stats: Total Miles 21.6, elevation gain 738ft, time 2h 30m

Week 19
Monday – Rest day. No running or cycling today but I did receive an email from British Heart Foundation saying that I have been successful in landing one of their charity places for the Virgin London Marathon 2018!!! So happy to have been accepted into their team for the marathon, not just because it is a spot in the race but because my mother has had a lot of heart issues over the years and is still suffering from them now, so to be able to support BHF this way really means a lot to me.
Tuesday – Back in work today which usually involves a ride to the train station, but given how heavy it was raining when I woke up I decided against cycling in today.
Wednesday – Out running again today after two days of rest, surprisingly didn't feel too great even after two days off, no aches just didn't feel too good. It was just a 4.3-mile easy paced run, nothing too strenuous at this stage now. My Berlin Marathon start card arrived this morning too, its now starting to feel very real being just 18 days off. It looks like they have put me in the 4:30 corral which isn't where I had put on my entrance form, I was hoping to be in the 3:30 – 3:50 corral which should push me on to a sub 3:30, I have e-mailed the organisers to see whether they can amend this.
Thursday – Well good news is, I now have a new Start Card for the Berlin Marathon and I am in the 3:30 – 3:50 corral as requested. I do have a 3:39 PB so I aren't jumping ahead of my ability before anyone lays into me. In fact I am hoping to run beyond this corral but we will see on the day.
So today's run was a 4.2-miler, fairly steady pace, 30 secs/mi quicker than yesterday and considerably more elevation gain today as I ran part of the way up to Mow Cop and back down the other side. No swimming this morning, my daughter was sick on the way to nursery, I had to put emergency measures in place lol.
Friday – After a couple of days running 4 miles I wanted to try a longer run during my lunch hour. I managed to get in 7.7-miles with 449ft of elevation gain. Felt good after that one and nice to get in some good miles before this weekends 10k.
Saturday – My last Parkrun for the next 5 weeks with other events. It was pouring down today and chilly, which made up my mind, I was taking this steady. 3 laps of the mere in 21:00 finishing 16th overall. Job done, roll on tomorrow's Sandbach 10k, hopefully a little dryer for that one.
Sunday – Today was the Sandbach 10k, you can read my race recap here – SANDBACH 10k RACE RECAP
Running Stats: Total Miles 25.5, elevation gain 1,109ft, time 3h 10m
Cycling Stats: Total Miles 0, elevation gain 0ft, time 0m
Swimming Stats: Total Yards 0, time 0m

This is another mopey post. Sorry. I will try not to make it a habit.
So I went to the Lurkville Pride music festival/day in the park for a few hours. The day was nice. Some of the music was okay. There was a talented three piece band that got little applause, and (once again) I chickened out by not dancing or whooping in appreciation.
I visited some of the booths and talked to some people I knew. Other than that I sat on the lawn alone. Some people I knew walked by and I waved at them, and they ignored me.
That's not the point. The point is that if I want to find someone cute with a leg cramp, then these are the kinds of events to do so. There were some cute people at the festival. Some of them were even sitting alone. I did not introduce myself to any of them. Why would they want to associate with me?
If I sit alone on the lawn and do not reach out, I cannot expect to meet others. I will spend the rest of my life alone. Intellectually, I know that's okay. Despite what I write here, emotionally it is okay as well. But at the local Pride festival, feeling isolated even as I am surrounded by LGBTQ people, it felt less okay.

25 Oct Heart to Heart with God: Day 144_Looking Ahead
by Michael Bluemling Jr.
365 Days of Reflection Towards God's Love and Acceptance
~June 4, 2014-June 3, 2015
Day 144- Richmond, Virginia: Looking Ahead
When we look past the horizon, what do we see? Do we see valleys, mountains, rivers, or oceans that make up the beauty of this world? Looking even further than that, what do we see in the future for our family, friends, people whom we do not even know in this world, and ourselves? Do we see a life filled with joy and happiness as we look ahead to the coming of Jesus back into this world or do we see a blanket of unknown that comes like a dense fog at daybreak?
We know the Lord our God, because we have sat and ate in his midst daily for our entire lives. We know our Father in Heaven, as he shows us the way to Him through His son, Jesus Christ. We also equally know what is to come on the "Day of the Lord", as described in 2 Peter: "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells". As we look ahead for what is to come, we already know the answer through the Word of God in our hearts, minds, and bodies through the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.
We are given a gift of love and thanksgiving to share with one another. We are given a choice to make as well, to either serve God or not. What we believe to be true only matters, if we have prepared our souls for when God returns. All the speculation in the world could never prepare us for what is to come. Only through our absolute faith are we healed as we repent to God through Jesus. As we have been taught repeatedly, no man can go to the Father without going through the Son. How will we prepare ourselves, knowing what we now know on our journey ahead?
Reflection Day #144

ON OCEAN 7 CAFE 4 out of 5
660 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach Florida 33139 (305) 455-3285
There is a group of open air restaurant patios on Ocean Drive South Beach.
They are unusual in many ways; you walk right through them on the sidewalk with patrons on both sides of you.
You can make a deal by counter offering their offers - we were able to get 4 glasses of wine included with our meal (one of them was champagne) - we were able to get 20 % off our mains and we even counter offered on our appetizers. We also got a second round of wines 2 for 1. I have never seen anything like it, but it added to the experience.
After we had settled on the terms of our meal we began to order our wine and appetizers. We decided to split fried calamari and fried shrimp.
One of us ordered ravioli stuffed with veal in a herbed olive oil. It was melt in your mouth delicious.
One of us ordered blackened mahi mahi that was grilled perfectly and was outstanding. It was accompanied by a crisp salad and plain boiled rice, which offset the spiced rub covering the fish.
One of us ordered the barbecued back ribs smothered in a barbecue sauce and they were very tender and meaty. It came with thin french fries and shaved raw vegetables.
I ordered the coconut shrimp, they were large and very well done with a sweet and spicy lemon mustard dip and a wonderful coleslaw.
We followed our meals with the house special drinks called Miami Vice - they tasted as good as they looked. It was a great meal in a wonderful location on a beautiful day on Ocean Blvd. at South Beach.

It's no secret that Iscoyd Park has a five times world champion cocktail mixologist in it's ranks, so naturally we were keen to tap his knowledge for some Christmas inspiration. Here below we have two of The Cocktail Guru's finest seasonal drinks recipes, to get every aunt/ grandpa/ brother-in-law singing your Christmas praises….Over to you Jamie:
One of my favourite seasonal drinks is the Hot Apple Toddy and is one which has been received with great enthusiasm wherever it has featured. We often use it as the reception drink at Iscoyd Park as a refreshing alternative to mulled wine.
It is a very simple drink to make either as a single serve or as a batch – just scale up the recipe and make in a pan instead.
Hot Apple Toddy
1 1/2 measures Drambuie
1 measure Ruby Port
1/2 measure Lemon Juice
5 measures pressed apple juice
Mulled wine spices ( cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, star anise, orange peel)
To make a single serve, simply heat the apple juice until it is hot (not boiling) with the spices in it. Add the other ingredients and give it a quick stir.
The second cocktail uses slightly more specialist ingredients but makes a delicious drink with a seasonal touch.
We Three Kings
1 measure Gin (we use King of Soho)
1/2 measure Chambord liqueur
14 measure King's Ginger Liqueur
1 measure Monin Gingerbread syrup (you can find it in the coffee aisle in large supermarkets)
1 measure lemon juice
Dash egg white
Dash orange bitters
Shake well and strain into a tumbler filled with cubed ice
Garnish with a clove-studded orange peel
Repeat for your pleasure, but please drink responsibly!
If you'd like more from where that came from, Jamie mans the well stocked bar at Iscoyd's numerous events serving up the most talented of concoctions!

I have never truly understood people who are willing to settle. There are people who are content with just obtaining the minimums of life. Now before anyone of you decide to lecture me on contentment, I agree that there is value to finding contentment in what we have, however, I do not see that as a reason to consistently reach from something higher.
I am the type of person who feels that I need to always be setting my focus on something higher than where I am and what I have. I can be grateful for what I have achieved in life. I can be grateful for all that I have been given. However, I believe that what I have achieved and what I have been given should be used to assist me in obtaining new goals and new achievements which will benefit me but should also benefit others that have been placed in my life.
For me, part of the adventure of life and what creates a drive in my life is the ongoing strive for a higher goal. This is true for all aspects of my life. Whether I am looking at my professional life, my community life, my personal life, my faith, or my relationships, I want to always strive to be better in those areas. This requires me to continue learning, to listen to others, to commit time and energy, and to do self-evaluation. I believe that the Lord always has something more that I need to work toward. I also believe that the Lord will provide what I need to move higher in the areas that will benefit others and myself.
So for my life, my motto is: Keep reaching higher, there is something more which you are called to do.

This is my blog about Tourette's Syndrome, a neurological condition which is characterised by tics, both motor and vocal.
In my experience, having with Tourette's can be frustrating, annoying, a pain in the arse, hilarious, unpredictable, and enraging. As a consequence of my condition, I get into odd situations and conversations all the time. These experiences make for good anecdotes, and this blog is where I share them.

Scotland's sweeping green energy ambitions
If it is up to the Scottish government, the waters around Scotland will become the green energy powerhouse of Europe. The country has formulated highly ambitious renewable energy targets. These will have to be met by an offshore wind power revolution in the rough Scottish waters. The Scottish Green European Energy Centre gives an overview of the plans.
In 2009, Scotland already generated 27.4% of its consumption from renewables. Over half of this was hydropower (12.4%), most of the rest wind and wave power (11.6%). This means roughly a four-fold increase is needed in renewable energy production. As hydropower does not have much growth potential, this will have to come almost entirely from wind power.
Blue Seas
There is little doubt that Scottish wind power resources are, in theory, large enough to meet this demand. Scotland has an estimated 206 GW (206,000 MW) of practical offshore wind, wave and tidal resources, of which 169 GW (169,000 MW) is offshore wind. This is almost 40% of the total UK resource and 25% of Europe's offshore wind resource. It is estimated that harnessing just a third of this practical resource off Scotland's coast by 2050 would be enough to power Scotland 7 times over.
|It is estimated that harnessing just a third of this practical resource off Scotland's coast by 2050 would be enough to power Scotland 7 times over
To be sure, there is still a long way to go before even the 5,000 MW mark will be reached. Currently only the 180 MW Robin Rigg offshore wind farm in Solway Firth has been realised (by Eon) in Scottish waters, plus the 10 MW Beatrice offshore wind demonstrator facility. By contrast, some 2765 MW of wind power has been installed onshore in Scotland.
But if all if all goes according to plan, Scotland's wind power capacity will grow rapidly in the coming years. Over its previous four-year term, the Scottish Government granted planning permission for 42 large-scale onshore and offshore wind projects totalling over 2000 MW in capacity. Exclusivity agreements (which give developers security over their chosen sites and allow them to commence with site survey works etcetera, and is the step before an Agreement for Lease is granted) have been awarded to these offshore sites in the Scottish territorial waters:
|Wind farm
|Estimated MW
Argyll Array
|Scottish Power Renewables
|SSE & SeaEnergy
Inch Cape
Neart na Gaoithe
Source: Renewables UK.
In addition 2 offshore wind demonstration sites have been awarded Exclusivity Agreements: the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) and Methil Offshore Wind Farm (also known as 2B Energy Prototype).
Two other planned projects in Scottish waters are the 3500 MW Firth of Forth project of Seagreen Wind Energy, a 50/50 joint venture between SSE and Fluor Ltd) and the 1300-1500 MW Moray Firth, a partnership between EDPR (67%) and Spanish company Repsol (33%). These two projects are both part of the Round 3 Leasing Programme of the Crown Estate. This means they are UK projects rather than exclusively Scottish projects.
In August, First Minister Alex Salmond said that there are now eight developments being planned in Scottish waters (including Firth of Forth and Moray Firth) that will deliver up to 10 GW of energy from offshore wind by 2020. This would be enough, Salmond said, to reach the target of 100% of electricity demand from renewables.
Supply chain
The Scottish government sees a unique economic opportunity in the development of offshore wind power. It has said that the sector could bring an estimated £30 billion of inward investment into Scotland. The industry could support up to 28,000 directly related jobs and a further 20,000 indirect jobs in Scotland, generating up to £7.1 billion for the Scottish economy by 2020.
Not only does Scotland have large wind resources, it also boasts the presence of an established (offshore) oil and gas supply chain. This gives the country a competitive advantage in areas such as project design, deployment, operations and maintenance of offshore installations. For the oil and gas industry itseslf, the development of the offshore wind power sector represents an opportunity to diversify into a globally rapidly expanding sector.
Offshore wind power is still a relatively expensive form of energy production. This means government support will be essential to develop the industry. Currently, investment is stimulated with the Renewables Obligation mechanism. Projects receive 2 Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) per MWh once they start producing electricity. An ROC is currently worth about £38 (€43), so this amounts to £76 (€86) per MWh. Some projects also got some additional capital support from the UK Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC).
|For the oil and gas industry, the development of the offshore wind power sector represents an opportunity to diversify into a globally rapidly expanding sector
Technological developments will also drive down costs therefore increasing the level of RD&D will be critical to delivering cost reduction. It is here where Scotland is rapidly emerging as an important centre with a total of £300 million of inward investment from companies like Doosan, Gamesa and Mitsubishi, which are locating to Scotland to develop their offshore wind interests.
The Scottish government also delivers infrastructural support. Stage 1 of the National Renewables Infrastructure Plan (N-RIP) identified the priority sites for ports and harbours developments to support the growth of the offshore wind sector. Stage 2 (published in July 2010) sets out the investment requirements to fully develop first phase sites. It highlighted that £223 million investment in key port and land-side infrastructure could support an offshore wind sector manufacturing 750 offshore wind units per year. £70 million from the National Renewables Infrastructure Fund (N-RIF) has now been made available to strengthen ports and manufacturing facilities for offshore wind turbines and related components and leverage private sector investment.
Scotland is also looking to the EU to help finance its offshore wind ambitions. In 2009, the Scottish European Green Energy Centre (SEGEC) was established by the Scottish Government and private partners to seek access to EU funding for low-carbon infrastructure demonstration and deployment projects. To date SEGEC has delivered over €115M of EEPR funding for demonstration projects (the aforementioned EOWDC and the Moray Firth Offshore HVDC hub), supported two Scottish marine energy bids for NER300 funding (bid total of €99M for total project values of €323M), identified and delivered TEN-E, IEE and INTERREG bids. It has also facilitated funding for a CCS (carbon capture and storage) Regulatory Toolkit and a Scottish-Norwegian grid interconnection project.
The two Marine energy bids for the NER300 funding are a €78M bid application for the Pentland Orkney Wave power Resource (POWER) Ltd which has a project value of €228M and the Islay Tidal Project bid application of €21M with a total project value of €95M. If successfully developed, these projects, and more, will keep Scotland positioned at the forefront of delivering the green energy agenda.
NorthConnect Interconnector project - A routing study for an interconnector between Norway and GB. With a landfall option in North East Scotland such a link has the potential to form part of a future offshore grid. The project is a collaboration between the European energy companies Agder Energi, E-CO, Lyse, SSE (Scottish and Southern Energy), and Vattenfall AB. This will be the first direct interconnector between the two countries. The five partners have established the companies "NorthConnect AS" and "NorthConnect KS" for this purpose. The interconnector NorthConnect will be planned as an HVDC powercable. http://www.northconnect.no/
Moray Firth Offshore HVDC hub - €74.1M of EEPR funding secured with the help of SEGEC towards facilitating a more optimal transmission solution for the connection of offshore and onshore renewables in far North East Scotland. This €150M project is being developed by SSE's transmission business, whose case to the regulator Ofgem for the balance of costs is significantly de-risked by the EU grant allocation. This project is part of the Caithness HVDC Connection
Longannet CCS Demonstrator and Pipeline – A collaboration between ScottishPower, National Grid and Shell (the ScottishPower CCS Consortium) and working with Aker CleanCarbon, the project deployed a mobile test unit at Longannet for an initial 11 month test programme focussed on capture chemistry and now has plans for a full scale demonstrator by 2014. The project also recently announced plans to construct an onshore CO2 pipeline running from Longannet, through Fife to St. Fergus in Aberdeenshire. Under these new plans, National Grid will build a new 18 km pipeline linking the Longannet site on the Firth of Forth, Scotland, to an existing natural gas pipeline that is no longer required. As much as 1.8 km of the new pipeline will run in a tunnel under the River Forth. A new above-ground installation will be built near Dunipace to connect the two pipelines. The gas pipeline, which will require a change of use, travels 280 km to St Fergus to a new CO2 compressor. The compressed CO2 will then be transported down an existing Shell pipeline for permanent storage in the depleted Goldeneye gas field under the North Sea. National Grid will build several other above-ground installations along the route, with existing installations upgraded. http://www.nationalgrid.com/uk/EnergyandServices/NonRegs/CCS/Projects/Longannet/
CCS Regulatory Toolkit - Global CCS Institute and the Scottish Centre for CCS collaborated to design a toolkit to help nations and regions to test their legislative, regulatory and public engagement processes in advance of receiving applications for CCS projects. http://www.sccs.org.uk/regulatory-test-toolkit/
Voith Hydro Wavegen's 500 KW Limpet on Islay is in its 11th year of successful operation. Limpet (Land Installed Marine Powered Energy Transformer) is a shoreline energy converter and was installed in 2000 and produces power for the national grid. http://www.wavegen.co.uk/
Pentland Orkney Wave Power Resource (POWER) Ltd – is the only wave energy bid being put forward by the UK Government to the EIB for consideration in the first round of the EU's NER300 scheme. A collaborative project bringing together ScottishPower Renewables (SPR), E.ON Climate & Renewables (E.ON) and Brough Head Wave Farm Limited (BHWFL) - a joint venture between SSE Renewables (SSER) and Aquamarine Power, the project has a bid application of €78M and total project value of €228M. If successful, the project will comprise ten near shore Aquamarine Power Oyster 3 devices and 24 offshore Pelamis machines within the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters leasing area, operating in multi-device array configurations.
Islay Tidal Project – A ScottishPower Renewables project which was recently granted consent to develop the largest tidal array in the world. Consisting of 10 Hammerfest Strom tidal turbines, it will generate enough electricity to power more than 5,000 homes. http://www.scottishpowerrenewables.com/pages/sound_of_islay.asp

Hunting Fear: Lucas Jordan, a key agent and profiler in Noah Bishop's Special Crimes Unit, has an extraordinary skill: he locates missing people. Now Jordan has come to Clayton County, North Carolina, where the latest in a string of kidnapping victims has turned up dead. Complicating the situation is the presence - and predictions - of someone who's even more of an outsider than Jordan himself: carnival psychic Samantha Burke, a woman out of his own haunted past. Chill of Fear: FBI agent Quentin Hayes always knew he had an unusual talent, even before he was recruited by Noah Bishop for the controversial Special Crimes Unit. But for twenty years he's been haunted by a heartbreaking unsolved murder that took place at The Lodge, a secluded Victorian-era resort in Tennessee. Now he's returned one final time, determined to put the mystery to rest. Sleeping with Fear: A federal agent assigned to the Special Crimes Unit, Riley was a chameleon - a clairvoyant who could blend in with her surroundings. She'd been sent to the beachfront cottage on Opal Island by her enigmatic chief, Noah Bishop, to investigate reports of dangerous occult activity. But that was three weeks ago. Now she's awoken to discover that she's got a sexy new man in her life and an unreliable memory, and that the clairvoyant abilities she's always depended on to protect her are MIA.

Emily and David Takahashi are committed to living a low-carbon lifestyle. In 2012 they moved into their 60-year-old, 900-square-foot Boulder, CO home. David explains, "Our aim is to be independent of the electric grid as much as possible."
Their first step was to have their home retrofitted for energy efficiency, e.g. insulating ceiling and walls and installing triple pane low-E windows. David's words of wisdom: "The cheapest energy is the kilowatt hour you do not use." Another significant thing they did was eliminate the gas line to their house. "We're now all electric."
Next came getting off the grid or at least getting off grid power. They hired Independent Power Systems to design and install a grid-connected-yet-fully-off-grid-capable power system.
"Our house is directly powered by the solar system. There are SunPower panels on the southeast and northeast sides of our roof."
Solar energy not immediately consumed by the Takahashi's home will be stored in a 32kWh Blue Ion battery bank for use at night and during inclement weather – and any time solar energy is not keeping up with the house load. When the batteries are full, the excess energy will flow to the grid earning the Takahashis Renewable Energy Credits and providing their neighbors with clean energy.
The power system utilizes the Outback Radian GS8048 inverter, two FM100 charge controllers and Tigo optimizers on every solar panel (for maximum production).
This system will produce surplus energy in the summer months and will occasionally have an energy deficit mid-winter, but overall the system will provide close to 100% of the Takahashi's daily energy needs with solar energy.
Whenever the panels are snow-covered for an extended time, grid power will be used as necessary to power their house loads but will not be used to charge the battery. When the sun re-emerges and the battery recovers, their home will once again operate fully on sunlight."
[easy-image-collage id=6858]
A resiliency beacon in the darkness!
David says he actually looks forward to a power outage when the street's houses are dark "and there will be ours lit up and fully functioning."
It's not so hard to achieve a low-carbon lifestyle.
As part of their low-carbon footprint sustainability lifestyle, the Takahashis also grow some of their own food. Occupying much of their front yard is a high-yielding strawberry patch. "And in the near future, we plan to get an electric vehicle" says Emily.
The Takahashi home was on the fall 2017 Green Home tour. David says, "We're eager to share our home as an example of how homeowners can live entirely comfortably while being more energy efficient and fossil fuel-free. We want to show how this can be done in steps. By taking advantage of available energy efficiency programs and rebates, it is affordable."
System Specs:
- [29] SunPower X360 modules; 10.4 kW system
- [2] Blue Ion /Blue Planet batteries, 32 kWh
- Outback Radian GS8048 inverter
- [2] FM100 charge controllers

You've had a sneak peek of the first one already, but as it was a gift for my mum, I didn't want to reveal it completely and spoil the surprise for her. For this first one I've used freezer paper, which I cut into a sort of 'snowflake'. The artist Melanie Testa was the first person to open my mind about the possibilities with freezer paper 'snowflakes' (See e.g. Quilting Arts Magazine issue 21, spring 2006). Paper 'snowflakes' don't have to look like the snowflakes we all cut when we were kids. So I cut a Westie snowflake for my mum. (Regular readers know that I keep referring to Fia the Terri(fi)er. She has an impressive bark, but she really is a very gentle and sweet dog.)
Here you can see the design process: sketch, folds, cut-out, stencil:
And here is the result. As the sponge cloth was quite porous, the paint went under the edges a little bit and made them slightly fuzzy, so I used a Pentel Gel Roller for Fabric to tidy up the edges. I love that pen!
And then I decorated a sponge cloth for myself too, but for this one I didn't use a stencil, only a fabric marker: a Tsukineko Fabrico Dual Marker. A lovely and juicy pen that comes with a bullet tip and a brush tip. A lot has happened with fabric markers since I tried my first one many years ago.
That should add a bit of pizzazz to my kitchen.
Thanks for visiting and see you again soon!

Keep pace with your best time in Boys' Nike Dry Miler Running Top. Sweat-wicking fabric works with strategically placed mesh panels to deliver a cool, dry, comfortable feel while you run.
- Nike Dry fabric helps keep you dry and comfortable.
- Sweat-wicking mesh panels help you stay cool.
- Ergonomic seams allow for full range of motion.
- Nike Running graphic is printed at the center chest.
When superstar track and field coach Bill Bowerman met talented middle-distance runner Phil Knight, an unlikely partnership was formed.
Bowerman was looking for lighter, more durable running shoes for his Oregon University Runners, and Knight was searching for a way to make a living without having to give up athletics all together. The two put their heads together and came up with a shoe that featured outsoles modelled on a waffle iron – unconventional, but somehow it worked.
Bowerman and Knight named their new venture Nike, after the Greek goddess of victory, and began selling their shoes from out the boot of a car. From these humble beginnings, the company has grown into a sports industry market leader, and its distinctive 'swoosh' logo is arguably the most recognisable brand logo on the planet.
Despite this success, Nike's mission statement remains the unchanged: To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. Because if you have a body, you're an athlete.

Solar Cell "Wonder Material"—Perovskite—Falls Short of Expectations
Hugh Cowley for Scientific American: Perovskites have arguably transformed solar energy more in the last few years than other technologies have in decades. But British researchers have called into question optimistic predictions of undiscovered perovskites.
Hybrid perovskites are a mix of organic and inorganic ions with the same crystal structure as calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO3). Halide perovskites are a subset of these structures containing halide ions such as fluoride or chloride. Iodide perovskites such as methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) can convert sunlight to electricity.
Researchers use a decades-old geometric 'tolerance factor' to propose new combinations of ions that will form stable perovskites. Now, Robert Palgrave and his team at University College London, UK, have reassessed the validity of the tolerance factor in predicting new hybrid perovskite structures. Cont'd...

21 year-old London songstress Brooklyn first caught the attention of music lovers and YouTubers with the video for her remix of 'Buffalo Stance', that Neneh Cherry classic every girl was singing back in '89. Though 'Hold Up' introduced a bit of trap into that yesteryear hit, the message remained more or less intact; it's not your money I'm interested in, dummy. Released in April, the song's clip has since racked up hundreds of thousands of views. In it the petite chanteuse proved that she's not only bad with the vocals, but she has a move or two on her.
Brooklyn's prowess is not limited to the studio; a couple of festivalgoers have had the joy of listening to her live. If you were in the UK capital in July you could have also caught her on her Summer Tour. But not to worry, there's plenty more to come from this burgeoning talent. The second glimpse of what's in store comes in the form of her new single 'Cupid'. Spoiler alert: it's not the kind of mushy ballad 112 sang back in '97. It is a hip-hop laced diatribe aimed at a dude who sweet talked a girl into becoming his girlfriend and then proceeded to let her down after she agreed to be his girl. There is a dark vibe to this R&B/pop tune, accentuated by the distorted bass that hovers above it.
Download this catchy number and keep up with Brooklyn via her website.

The Florida Effect
I didn't watch the debate last night, having long ago committed to an event honoring the 200th anniversary of newspapers in Connecticut Western Reserve. By the time I got back from the event, the debate was over, and so I consulted my Twitter feed of dozens of opinion mavens and discovered that Rick Santorum had a very good night, Romney a strong one, and that Gingrich had endured by far his worst debate performance. The chattering class issued a collective assessment that Newt had been thrashed.
Given that both the new Sunshine State and Qunnipiac polls put Romney ahead by 9 points prior to the debate, and given as well that Romney is widely acknowledged to have a lead in the absentees and early voting, Florida is shaping up as a win for Romney though not perhaps by more than a few points given the volatility of the contest.
I said on Monday that the winner of Florida would be the GOP nominee, and that was when Gingrich was 9 points ahead. It seems as though Florida understands its crucial position and perhaps decisive influence, and voters are paying attention and are energized. Given the state's enormous importance in the fall, this is a great place to have such a showdown, and while the race won't be over on Wednesday morning, it will almost certainly have been decided by then, barring a meltdown by or a revelation about the winner.
In Ohio the local GOP is very excited about having the Buckeye State finally matter to a GOP nomination via its vote on Super Tuesday. The chairman of the Cuyahoga County Republican Party, Rob Frost, came by my Cleveland affiliate's studios during Wednesday's program to talk about the energy in the grassroots, and the great campaign shaping up to put Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel into the Senate. The party's annual Lincoln Dinner is February 16. The guest of honor? Mitt Romney. Today, judging solely from the reflected assessments of the media elites both right and left, that was a very good call by the Committee when it was made months ago.
Back to California so traveling and off the air today. Breitbart.tv's Larry O'Connor fills in for me today, and despite his Michigan roots, he appears able to handle the dials and use complete sentences. Thanks to Larry and to all those twittering pundits who watched the debate so I wouldn't have to.

PEMBROKE — The Thomas Entrepreneurship Hub at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke hopes to bring 30 new jobs to the region over three years following a substantial gift from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust.
The Hub, formerly the Thomas Family Center for Entrepreneurship, has been awarded $198,000 to hire a sustainability coordinator who will team with the Entrepreneurship Incubator staff to launch small businesses and create stronger ties between economic development and health improvement efforts. The Entrepreneurship Incubator, located inside the Hub, supports business growth across a 10-county region.
The grant will be spread over three years.
"We're grateful to receive this grant and believe it will dramatically improve the support we give to leading edge health care startups and technologies and how fast we can get them contributing to the community," said Thomas Hall, Hub executive director.
The sustainability coordinator will be responsible for finding and evaluating high potential technologies, developing and presenting proposals, and building and managing strategic relationships globally.
The goal is to attract jobs in the home health care and agribusiness sectors. Addressing poverty as an underlying driver of poor health is a key aim of this project.
"Economic opportunity, health and education are intertwined issues that our founder, Kate B. Reynolds, focused on during her lifetime. We work to interpret her vision today, and we know there are a lack of economic opportunities for many Robeson County residents," said Laura Gerald, president of the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust.
"Community members identified job creation as the greatest barrier to health improvement in Robeson County in a recent community health needs assessment," Gerald said.
Chancellor Robin Gary Cummings said UNCP is grateful for the investment by the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust.
"Dr. Gerald appreciates the needs of our region, and as a physician and former State Health director like myself, she understands the clear linkages between economic conditions and health outcomes," Cummings said.
Hall said there is a significant upside in job creation, economic mobility and health by finding and commercializing technologies at the intersection of agriculture, nutrition and health.
"While the Thomas Entrepreneurship Hub and others have made strides supporting and nurturing small businesses and startups, we feel the situation will be significantly improved with a focused effort to bring in technologies that will drive faster and larger job growth, leading to improved economic mobility, health and wellness," Hall said.
Since opening its doors in downtown Pembroke in January 2016, the Hub has been helping residents start businesses. It also links with larger health improvement efforts in the county to connect these initiatives to economic development.
