L´ordre du jour
Eg kobla meg opp mot labradoren med ei lærreim og gjekk ned trappa. Eg logga meg ut gjennom utgangsdøra og steig ut på gata. Det var stilt ute. Eg trakk i reima. «Kom no, Online», sa eg, og satte kursen mot parken.
Kona mi hadde straks gått for forslaget mitt om å ta hunden ut ein tur. Vi gjekk ikkje tur saman meir pr. idag. Kommunikasjonen mot kona var eigentleg inne i ein down-periode, hadde eg funne ut.
Bikkja kom med eit innspill: ho ville bort til eit tre. Eg ga henne aksept på det, og ho gjorde ein release mot trestamma.
Vi tusla vidare. Borte ved gate'n til parken sto ein mann og supporta seg på ein stokk. Han såg litt trøytt ut. Kanhende fekk ikkje han heller nok oppbacking heime?
Det var kaldt og eg følte for å avslutte sesjonen ute. Det var verkeleg mykje overhead med denne bikkja. Kanhende skulle eg avslutte leasingavtalen hennar, sjølv om det stod att eit år ? Nei, ho var jo så søt. Og no som kona…. Nei, best å ikkje kome inn i ein loop av tunge tankar.
Eg ruta meg heim att. Kona var ute då eg kom inn. Eg visste at ho hadde outsourca somme tenester som eg hadde vore supplier for tidlegare. Kanhende hadde den nye kortare turnaround tid, tenkte eg resignert.
Eg knytta meg opp mot ein site i USA og downloada ein cyberburgar. Eg tok meg ein byte.

Et samlet IT-Norge er kritiske til AKSON-prosjektet, eller med andre ord "ikke gjør det på denne måten".
Likevel turer Direktoratet for e-helse frem.
KS støtter Direktoratet. Men etterpå er det langt mellom støttespillerne.
Næringspolitisk er det vanskelig å forstå tilnærmingen, som med stor sannsynlighet vil ende opp med å favorisere én stor utenlandsk aktør.
Fra ståstedet til IKT-arkitektur er det liten støtte å hente. Alle tilsvarende prosjekter har feilet internasjonalt. 100%. Hvis pasienten dør av behandlingen, må den avsluttes. Medisinen må seponeres når dødeligheten er så høy som dette.
Diagnosen av pasienten er overflatisk. Han har det vondt, klager over smerter her og der. Bandasjen gnager, sier han. Eller mangler helt og holdent. Løsningen: en bandasje som dekker alle behov. Alle. En magisk bandasje. Hvordan denne skal se ut, eller hvori magien ligger, kan ikke Direktoratet svare på.
Det vi upresist kaller "Journal" er et produksjonssystem som må være tilrettelagt for lokale forhold. Den medisinske delen (pasientjournalen/EPJ) er forsvinnende liten sett ved siden av logistikk, økonomi, organisasjonsstruktur og roller; roller som varierer avhengig av organisering.
TIlgangsstyring vil bli kritisk og er tett knyttet til profesjoner, organisatorisk tilhørighet og turnus, og det siste betyr at turnusssystemer må integreres. Så har vi allehånde brevmaler, lokale integrasjoner, osv.
"EPJ" er bare en liten del av dette, "PAS"-delen dominerer fullstendig.
Den snakker ingen om.
AKSON kan best forstås sosiologisk og økonomisk.
– KS trenger økonomisk bistand og politisk bistand fordi de har underinvestert på området og leverandørmarkedet reflekterer dette (mikroskopisk, amatørmessig).
– Direktoratet for e-helse forsvarer sin posisjon og eksistensberettigelse og store budsjetter
– Departementet? Aner virkelig ikke. Snodig at Høyre som er næringslivspartiet vil nedlegge hele den norske helse-IT-bransjen.
This is a resumé of Sidsel Wold´s book from 2006 published in Norwegian by Gyldendal.
Sidsel Wold has been the correspondent for the Norwegian Broadcasting corporation (NRK) in the Middle East for many years. The NRK cherishes its neutrality, but what does a correspondent do when injustice stares her in the face and she is on a sabbatical from her job?
Maybe she writes a book about her stay in Jerusalem. She writes from up close. You can smell the streets, see the flesh from the suicide bombers, smell the smoke from the water pipes and feel the November rain; you can see the living rooms, the tea-cups and the veiled girls…
Checkpoint takes its name from the many checkpoints that break up the daily lives of Palestinians, and ensures that the different Palestinian societies remain apart. To live in Gaza, or a refugee camp on the West Bank, or in a Palestinian-controlled part of the West Bank, or in Tel Aviv with an Israeli passport – these are completely different realities.
Gaza is hell on earth – and this was 2006! The main topic there seems to be death and martyrdom, and the murderous, blind violence meted out by Israel – or shall we call it the Zionist state?
The book makes a few points very clear that are familiar to those that know Israel, briefly summarised:
Wold brings a lot of nuance to our understanding of Israel, with its immigrant populations from myriad countries. It is criss-crossed by sectarian and social fault lines, but unified in its loyalty to the Israeli state. As an example, the rise of Likud is tightly linked with the rise of the political power of the Jews of Arab origin (sephardim, mizrahim) who had been held down by the Askhenazi Jews of European descent (those that spoke Yiddisch).
A few more points are worth mentioning, like the role of religion and tradition. For the Palestinians, religion and tradition often mean a patriarchical society where a womans´s destiny is to bear children and obey her husband. The theme is drearily familiar. It is hard to see how emancipation will take place in a situation where men are oppressed and locked into their roles as breadwinners and fighters. With the demise of the PLO and the rise of Hamas, the space for secular social politics is limited.
On the Jewish side of the fence, religion also plays a central role, both as provider of identity for all Jews, and as a provider of destiny for religious settlers and the Orthodox. Both these groups seem to inhabit a universe where reason cannot penetrate.
It is often overlooked that about 1.2 million non-jews, mainly muslim arabs, carry an Israeli passport. They enjoy far more freedom than their relatives (figuratively and literally) in the West Bank and Gaza. But they are not wanted. They are not Jews, after all, and this "Nationality" is known by the state and has a huge effect on your prospects in Israel. Whether you are a Jew or not, is a question only the rabbis can decide (Wold does not state this latter fact anywhere, but Shlomo Sand has a lot to say on the issue of Israeli identity politics). And as unwanted citizens, they are discriminated against. Simply put, this is apartheid. One set of rights for me, one for the others. In this case the other is the Goy.
Sidsel Wold uses her skill and charm to connect with Jew and Palestinian, and she has the sensitivity and non-judgmental attitude which allows her to make meaningful connections with people and observations about life in Israel. And yet – her blood boils at the checkpoints.
"As I stand in line, I spot an elderly Palestinian in a green jacket and checkered keffiyeh on the other side of the road. He´s trying to move south on the West Bank. Clearly he was born long before the state of Israel saw the light of day. Two Israeli soldiers, a man and a woman, stop him. The old man gesticulates and tries to talk his way through the control post. A third soldier, sitting smoking on a concrete block with his legs crossed, looks the old man up and down.
– what, won´t they let you through? says the soldier and smiles mockingly. He´s enjoying himself. As always when I am upset, I put on my dark sunglasses. The female IDF soldier lights a smoke and leans into the concrete block.
– but I pass through here every day, says the Palestinian with mounting desperation
– "but I pass through here every day", repeats the soldier and laughs out loud
– so, you´re here every day? That doesn´t mean you will get through today, you know! says the soldier teasingly. He looks at his colleagues, and they all laugh. The old man turns around slowly and starts on the long journey back." (page 189)
This episode says it all, really. Occupation destroys the soul of the occupier. It´s about as far from the Jewish spirit as one can get.
Til AUF
Kanskje 25% er en passe oppslutning om et parti som Ap i 2020?
På hvilken måte skiller Ap seg fra Høyre i dag?
Det bør dere tenke på når dere møtes.
Og se "Gerhardsen" på NRK; hørte Erling Borgen på radion i går. Sterkt.
For noen år siden sa Jan P Syse "Arbeiderpartiet stjeler våre klær mens vi bader" (som igjen var et sitat fra Disraeli fra 1845), og det er en sannhet i dette; Ap har beveget seg mot Høyre og åpnet for marked og markedsmekanismer på flere samfunnsområder. EØS og NATO legger rammene for økonomisk politikk, arbeidsliv og sikkerhetspolitikk. Rommet for politikk er mindre enn før.
For oss som husker de store idelogiske bataljene på 70- og 80-tallet virker dagens debatt litt tam og navlebeskuende.
Den gangen var det skattenivå, åpningstider, mediemangfold, NATO, Sandinistas, contras, Reagan. Arbeiderpartiet var på vikende front i alle disse spørsmålene, og er det i og for seg ennå. Nå som jernbanen blir privatisert, vil neppe Arbeiderpartiet reversere dette.
Dengang var Reiulf Steen gift med en Chilener som hadde opplevd Pinochets regime – Inés Vargas. Og dermed var virkningene av amerikanske utenrikspolitikk ved kjøkkenbordet.
All jævelskapen USA har bedrevet i sør-Amerika har vi glemt. Bortsett fra at den nye generasjonen latin-amerikanere står ved Rio Grande, da. Men men. Details metails.
Utenrikspolitikken i dag handler mest om Russland, og her har vi valget mellom nyanser av kalde krigere. Hvor står AUF? (er konflikt med Russland uungåelig?).
Internasjonal solidaritet – er det noe som hører fortiden til? I sin tid var det ett av grunneelementene i arbeiderbevegelsen. Den var internasjonal. COSATU var på sommerleir i Norge! Betalt av LO.
Norsk politikk er preget av masse samarbeid på tvers av blokkene og masse enighet om grunnleggende spørsmål. Det er ingen som mener at arbeidsledige skal sove på gata, f.eks. Likevel – Ap har potensielt en posisjon som en form for garantist for den norske/nordiske modellen. Høyrekreftene " there is no such thing as society" og dyrkingen av enere som Stordalen og Røkke – er en motpol til dette. Høyre representerer et annet syn på samfunnet, og har andre krefter bak seg. Og deres ideologi har vunnet fram! (og det er fordi vi er rike nå; husk hva Marx sier om basis og overbygg).
Ap er skeptiske til børsen. Høyre hyller den. Der i gården er Mammon gud – men obs obs, Høyre er også et sosialdemokratisk parti. Det er ikke en Darwinistisk jungel som er målet med samfunnsutviklingen. Mye decent folks i Høyre. De aller aller fleste. Men de er happy med at rengjøringen av togene gjøres av folk som jobber med dårlige vilkår i egne selskaper. McJobs. Den tid er forbi da det stod "NSB" på alles uniformer, enten de kjørte tog eller vasket dass.
Høyre mener den som har flaks og er god med penger og står på og har mage til å rake til seg frukten av andres arbeid – han skal få. Mer. Ap mener i bunn og grunn det samme. Svært mange mener dette! (ellers hadde SV hatt større oppslutning, ennsi Rødt).
Og her er vi inne i menneskesyn og ideologi. Hva er et menneske? Skal vi reduseres til konsumenter og produsenter? Er det OK å utnytte andre bare det er "frivillig"? Hva slags narkotikapolitikk skal vi ha? Hva slags arbeidsliv skal vi ha? I landbruket er det 30.000 utenlandske sesongarbeidere.
Hvis en person vil starte en bedrift i Norge i dag kommer hen til dekket gratisbord:
Alt dette er gode som er betalt av fellesskapet. Det må vi ha en økt bevissthet om! Det finnes ingen self-made man, det er bullshit. BULL-SHIT. Dette vet selvsagt både Ap og Høyre; dette er kjernen i sosialdemokratiet, dealen mellom kapital og arbeider; et skattenivå alle kan leve med, fellesgoder som gir et lavt konfliktnivå: kapitalen slipper å leie private sikkerhetsvakter.
Og så er det klart at identitetsdimensjonen har vært undervurdert. Folk stemmer Frp selv om Frp vil rasere arbeidslivet, fordi Frp forsvarer «det norske». Arbeidere stemmer tilsynelatende mot sitt eget beste. Fordi det norske er viktigere enn alt annet? Eller fordi de føler seg så trygge i arbeidslivet takket være LO at de kan gamble på det, og stemme "identitet"? Hvem vet. Hvem vet…
For å vinne må man ha en visjon som er god. Smak litt på det. Visjonen var klar på 50-tallet: forsvare arbeidsfolk og bygge landet. Man kan ikke sitte på tinget av gammel vane.
Ved valget nå, og i 2017, hadde ikke Ap noen visjon. De fortjente ikke bedre. 2017-valget var en disaster med Støres aksjer, hans vanvittige portrett, og det aldeles håpløse «stø kurs» eller hva det var. Forglemmelig. Glemt.
2019 med skolemat er historie. Hva er storyen i 2021?
Forslag. Ap som garantisten for den nordiske modellen. Forsvarer av det kollektive. Den nordiske modellen. Det må vi ha en økt bevissthet om!
Men igjen – for å fortjene å styre, må man ha en visjon. Man kan ikke sitte på tinget av gammel vane.
Bøhler skriver her: jeg er enig i noe, men det defensivt i noen grad – det er preget av FrPs retorikk.
This will be a very short review of the book that I came across in an article about growing up as a black person and the soap "Lifebuoy" which features in the lives of many blacks: Rian Malan has sex with a black lady who smells of this soap.
Rian Malan grew up in South Africa as a member of a branch of a famous Afrikaner family; he is related to DF Malan who institutionalised apartheid while he was prime minister 1948-1954. But Rian is not racist – in his own words, "he loved blacks". But did they love him back? In a sense, that is what this book is about: will his love for blacks protect him against their rage and retribution? The answer is "no", or possibly "maybe". What is certain, is that some blacks (close friends) do love him. The book is very personal – and rightly so. Racism is nothing if not personal.
Rian leaves SA as the time approaches when he will be conscripted in the army, and returns some 8 years later in the late 80s in the dying days of apartheid. He then works as a journalist, and the book contains a number of stories from his journalist days – stories of dying, to a large extent, against the backdrop of the increasing terror of the apartheid regime, Steven Biko´s death, the ascent of ANC and eventual release of Mandela.
And yes, N´kosi sikelele Africa is such a beautiful song.
I saw Cry Freedom with friends – or acquaintances – in Manchester in about 1987, and walked out in the street completely dazed. The rest of the company were unfazed, and we went to a burger place.
The standout stories to me are the ones about the early settler days and the limitless violence and racism of the whites: and on the other side, the story of how the Zulus live and their own violence.
Rian makes it extremely clear how the issue of race permeated every corner of everyone´s lives – and no doubt it still does.
ANC, COSATU – in the summers they came to Norway for political training and had close ties with trade unions in Norway; some of the funding undoubtedly went towards weapons. I remember talking to a guy attending such a summer school on the street of Oslo ages ago. Before apartheid fell.
To Rian Malan, there seems to be a paradox in his relationship with blacks. I don´t really see one. In some contexts he will be white and white only, regardless of how good or bad a person he is. That is the way it is bound to be when you are looking back at centuries of white-on-black oppression and violence. He could get killed for his white skin when the black man rises, it´s a simple as that.
Read it.
So we went to Sicily, flying to Catania in early July to pick up our rented 9-seater and head down the Autostrada to Fontane Bianche, just south of Siracusa. It was hot the first two days, then settled around 30C, which is OK.
We weren´t the first tourists on the island. But a great many of the tourists were Italian.
But first – the food. "Marvellous" might be a good word to describe it, almost regardless of where you go. The high point was high in the hills at "Trattoria da Luciana" in San Piero Patti. Exciting road, but well worth it. Almost a religious experience for me – the food, I mean.
It turned out Siracusa was once an important city in the Greek empire. It is where Archimedes used to live, and there is a museum there in his honour. In one of the photos below you see the Ionic (or Doric, but certainly not Corinthian!) columns from about 500 BC incorporated into the Duomo of Siracusa.
The white car above is a Fiat 500 Giardiniera, which you can watch here on Youtube.
We also went to Taormina. When you enter the place from the North side, which is what you should do, make sure you park in the large multi-storey just below the city (Lumbi); going further only ensures nail-biting and waiting in narrow alleys, before you head back to the multi-storey car park…
(view from the Greek amphitheatre; Etna is hiding there somewhere)
The thing with Taormina is it deserves a bit of your time, even if it´s rather packed with tourists. It´s possible to climb to the top of the hills and find an old castle or monastery, and there is an intriguing cable car going down to the sea. Is it there to take people up or down? We never found out.
If you are on the South-East coast, you should make the effort to see Ragusa, though, situated in what seems a remote valley, it has a quiet charm that is worth trying out. Less convinced about Mudica, and its famed chocolate….
Sicily reminded me of Crete. What´s new is ugly, what´s old is beautiful. In Crete, the old is really ancient, just dusty piles of rubble from Minoan times; or Venetian and lovely. In Sicily, the old is either Greek ruins; or Baroque and lovely.
The driving style is maddening in both places, but you get used to it. Just shake your head in disbelief and be prepared for anything, and you´re fine. Apart from Palermo, which is rumoured to be beyond belief – we didn´t go there, though.
What about the Mafia? You never see any traces of it, but nor do you see beggars. There could be a connection there – and you keep asking yourself if the shop you´re in is paying the "pizzo"(protection). Not a nice feeling.
We never really got to see Etna. Or the Eolian (windy) islands. So maybe we should go back one day?
By Bert Stiles, 1952
"It was summer and there was war all over the world. There was war in Normandy and Italy and plenty of war in Russia. The war was going on in the islands and in the sky over Japan. The only war I knew about personally was the air war from England."
I had never heard of this book until it was mentioned in a discussion on Facebook about war books; the spur for the discussion was a mother, a friend of mine, despairing at her son's wish to join the armed forces, and his fascination with war.
I have read many books about the air war in Europe (Clostermann ) – but I had never heard of Bert Stiles. He joined the air war in Europe in April of 1944 flying B17 Flying Fortresses in the day-time bombing of France, Holland and Germany, and completed his tour of duty on bombers. He then transferred to fighters and was killed in a P51 Mustang in the late autumn of 1944.
This book is a first-hand narrative and as such has similarities with many others. The intensity of battle, the loss of friends, the poetry of flying, the peacefulness of the English countryside on days off. The feeling of brotherhood with other airmen, also with those of the enemy. This book has very little, if any, machismo, and all the more sadness and wonderment at the utility and futility of it all. Women also have a prominent place – not as warriors, but as objects of love and lust, and the book has a very frank and clear-eyed chapter about wartime prostitution – "Piccadilly Commandoes". Stiles also sketches his relationships with "dames" he has known, and devotes several short chapters to a "Doll Named August". One wonders if she ever read the memoir, which was published by his mother, by the way.
Bert Stiles is a very sensitive soul, and a writing soul. He brings his typewriter with him to England, that is clear from the inventory of the room he shares with his pilot Sam ("are you cold?" – "no, I'm Sam"). He never mentions the act of writing in his memoir , so we are left to work out for ourselves that he must have used his resting time to write, maybe after interrogations, after chow, before drinking and sleeping and "being woked" for the next show. From Wikipedia we can learn that before he became a co-pilot, he was already a writer. He writes very well, too!
Stiles devotes space to reflect on the people who will be killed by the bombs he drops, and it's clear that his feelings are conflicted; his vision for the future is one in which all humans will come together in the one element that they have in common, their humanity.
"Maybe boundary lines have their uses, and tariffs and visas and all the other barriers built up by men on the ground, but the air flows smoothly over all of them and from 20,000 it is pretty hard to see them or any very good reasons for them".
A final word – by the time Stiles joined the air war over Europe, the Luftwaffe was largely a spent force. His odds of survival were thus much higher than if he had joined in 1943. The fact he flew many sorties before spotting the first fighters underscores this point. Flak (anti-aircraft guns) were a great danger though, and was probably what killed him in the end.
So I finally finished my copy of Jens Munk by Thorkild Hansen. It´s been sitting in our cabin for many years and I have been reading it on and off. It´s been taking its time not because it´s a bad book, on the contrary: it´s a great book. And that's one reason why I wanted to write this little blog post. The book came out in 1965 and it also published in English – at least I think so!
Thorkild Hansen has written a gripping biography of Jens Munk. He uses the device of introducing a narrator in the book, "the chronicler", who represents the author himself. This allows him to write sentences like "at this point the chronicler imagines.. since sources are missing" and so on; a nice literary touch. Hansen creates a dramatic tension which runs through the entire book – the conflict between the noble families in Denmark and Munk himself, with the King Christian IV on the sideline. The King is the arbiter of power, but his room for manoeuvring is limited by the constraints of the nobility. Jens Munk has inherited his father´s conflict with the latter group, and this keeps blocking him from achieving the status in society which his actions should have gained for him. He plays a central role in many significant military and commercial events of his time, and travels from "Bahia de todos los Santos" in Brazil (Salvador) to the White Sea and to Hudson bay.
The book itself is book-ended by the voyage to Hudson bay, starting with the scene in June 1620, Pentecost, when Jens writes his testament, finishing with the words "Hermed All verden god Nat og min Sjæl i Guds Haand" (with this good night to all the world and my soul in the hand of God). Of his crew of 64, 2 are left alive next to himself. Scurvy has killed the rest at their winter camp at the mouth of the Churchill river, in the southern part of Hudson bay. The three manage to float the smallest of the vessels, "Lamprenen", and sail it to Bergen on the west coast of Norway, at that time part of the kingdom of Denmark-Norway. A feat reminiscent of Shackleton´s crossing of the South Atlantic from Elephant Island to the South Georgia Island (another great book – "Endurance").
The Hudson bay voyage is Munk´s main legacy, but Thorkild Hansen manages to spin a vivid and colourful story all along Munk´s lifeline, in the process giving light and sound and smell to Denmark and the many other places Munk visited in this lifetime. Scathing irony is reserved for the King and the nobility; sympathy goes to the common man who lives, dreams, suffers and dies.
Looking back, it´s literally incredible what travel was possible in those days, though the cost in terms of human life was enormous. It´s also obvious that the limited equipment meant that sea travel almost exclusively took place in the summer half of the year.
Finally, the ship "Scoubynacht" figures in this book, and that gave birth to the name of this blog.

Almost a year on since the first global lockdown, the COVID-19 pandemic still has a firm grip on many countries and businesses across the world.
Here at CPS, our priority is to ensure the safety of our staff, customers, business partners and suppliers.
Whilst there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel as vaccination programmes roll out across the globe, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause significant disruption to the way many businesses operate.
To help provide transparency to our customers and stakeholders, here's an update on how CPS is adapting and operating a year on from the first lockdown.
How we are keeping staff safe
In order to maintain the duty of care to our staff and ensure their safety, we are asking our staff to adhere to the following protocols:
- Social distancing – This is still an essential part of our behaviour here at CPS. We are asking our employees to continuing adhering to social distancing guidelines. Employees must have a spare desk beside and directly opposite them. Our lines managers will manage desk assignment within their teams to ensure this condition is being met.
- PPE & Hand Sanitising - At all our premises globally, we have implemented the required processes to minimise risk and have provided the required sanitizers and protective equipment where appropriate.
- Meetings – Face to face meetings, with both internal and with clients, have been adapted to minimise the risk of cross contamination. We are using Microsoft Teams for meetings wherever possible, even if attendees are in the office together.
- Communication – Our staff are in frequent contact with their managers to inform them when they plan to work in the office on a week-by-week basis, if work cannot be carried out from home.
All of our staff and workers are aware, and regularly reminded, through local and corporate communications, of how best to avoid exposure to Covid-19, and what to do if they should display any symptoms.
- COVID Committee – At CPS, we have introduced a COVID Committee to check the status of our employees around the world. Our COVID Committee report into our weekly board meetings so we issue the most up to date information to our staff and business partners.
- Reducing third party visits - Third parties wishing to attend at any of our premises must fill in a risk assessment form to assess whether it is appropriate for them to visit.
How we are keeping operations running smoothly
With restrictions changing regularly in different countries, we are continuously monitoring the situation in all the regions where we operate.
To help keep operations running smoothly, we have taken the following actions:
- Dedicated teams to comply with social distancing – We have implemented appropriate COVID related Business Continuity processes at all locations, including splitting critical on-site functions into "Red" and "White" teams to mitigate against cross-contamination.
- Establishing remote work set ups– Business support systems and service support systems can be remotely accessed, and critical support staff can work from home if necessary.
Every CPS location has updated and thoroughly tested their Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure each region can continue to operate even if office closure is required.
- Utilising our global network to keep operations running– Our service staff, support staff and spare parts are distributed throughout our global network ensuring against cross-contamination of staff or non-availability of any logistics location.
- Identifying and preventing any potential supply chain issues – We continue to work closely with our supply chain to identify and mitigate any risks.
- Making sure our IT services continue to be accessible remotely – All CPS employees have secure remote access to core IT services so that they can access any information which would be available to them in their office location. This applies to employees working from home, travelling, or in isolation.
The IT team themselves are dispersed globally, multi-skilled and have appropriate access levels to cover other geographic regions if the need arises.
How we are supporting our customers

When to spay or neuter a dog is a widely debated talking point. Typically spaying or neutering a dog is not an unfavored practice. It is mainly promoted for its benefits to the dog parents unless they discern what they are dealing with. As far as the age of when to spay or neuter a dog is concerned it varies from breed to breed. The traditional perspective of the vets suggests to spay a dog as early as 4-6 months.
The surgery is easier to perform and rather fast preceding maturity. But some synchronous studies recommend spaying or neutering a dog, especially a large breed pup till it matures.
Except breed, other factors including health condition and environment also play its role. Knowing that the decision of having a pet is not only emotional or delightful but is rather the responsibility for years to come.
Even a glimpse of the pup, and your heart is destined to melt over its cuteness. But you need to keep an eye on the health and behavioral changes of the canine as well. Providing it with the best food to ensure optimal development. Determining the right age to spay or neuter is also a serious decision in this regard.
If the decision of when to spay or neuter a dog is taken at the right time, it may not only help the puppy to enjoy a longer and probably healthier life as well. Besides, it is the most pragmatic way to curtail unwanted litter which commonly ends up as stray dogs. Not only this spaying or neutering your pet is also highly cost-effective in the long run if you are concerned about the expenses.
Saying a female dog is the medical procedure performed by the vet to remove the female reproductive parts results in being sterile. The behavior related breeding instincts being culminated. There are medical and behavioral benefits to spaying of your female dog.
Delineating the medical benefits, spaying is going to repress the chances of uterine infections as well as breast tumor or mammary glands tumors called mammary adenocarcinoma and other diseases. Some of which are not only malignant but you may also end up having expensive treatments or in worst situations might end up losing your adorable one.
On the behavioral end, a female dog will undergo heat as a natural behavior on sexual maturity. The spayed female dog will not be on heat during their breeding season. It is commonly a period of 4-5 days or even 2 weeks. The span of the heat cycle differs for every breed.
At the age of 9-10 months a female dog's behavior is going to change. In that the change in the level of hormones in the blood induces some behaviors like being moody, howling most of the time for attention, or getting undesirable attention from male dogs, and frequently urinating everywhere or having clear or blood like discharge for days.
For large breed dogs, a female pup might not show the signs of maturity till 12 months. Alluding to various researches, a large breed dog spayed at 6 months holds an increased latency to develop orthopedic and cancer diseases vis-a-viz a dog getting the surgery at 12 months.
Whilst a small breed pup would enter its first what cycle as early as 6 months. Thus the age of spaying varies from breed to breed and for that matter canine to canine.
When to spay a female dog?
Traditionally it's said to spay a female dog before or at the 6 month mark. Some animal rescuers also suggest even at 8 weeks. Nowadays it is recommended to wait until sexual maturity so all the organs are fully developed to avoid later complications but before the first heat cycle. As once it goes in heat cycle the structure of the blood vessels and uterus undergoes an irreversible change which makes it complicated for spaying.
Spaying before the first heat cycle provides better protection from diseases. It varies from 5-12 months of age depending upon breeds. The small dogs might show the indications of first heat at 6 months while the large ones even not at 12 month mark. Lap dogs are also taken as small breeds so the spay age is similar.
The rule is to let a female dog mature completely until it reaches the age of its first heat cycle and right before it happens, spay the dog. This is the perfect situation since it ensures the dog gets enough time to develop. But deciding the right time is still uncertain. As it can not be foretold when the first heat would happen. A canine' lineage might be of some help but can not be used as a general predictor.
Neutering is the same procedure for male dogs as spaying is for female dogs. Vet removes testicles and other related structures to make them sterile.
The surgery ensures prevention of testicular cancer and some prostate problems. In addition, your male dog is likely to be less aggressive after neutering. An intact normal male will try all the creative ways to find a mate by escaping from home which might result in an injury from a road accident or a fight with other male dogs.
Not only this, dogs on sexual maturity mark their territory by urinating all over the place. And in the case it is your house too. Believe me it is not a very agreeable thing to deal with. The dog usually lifts its leg to urinate once it matures. Other behaviors include humping and over possessiveness.
Although neutering can help in alleviating aggression but it's not the solution. Since it is not going to eliminate the hormone completely but just reduce the amount of testosterone. It is the hormone responsible for growth and sexual well being of male dogs.
The small breed dogs grow and mature faster as compared to the ones having bigger bodies. The later need more time to fully develop their muscles and skeleton along with sexual growth. Till 12 months a large breed dog can grow muscles. Thus when to neuter a male dog can differ with canine breed. Keep in mind that the dogs are also less likely to develop tumors if neutered at the right time.
Male dogs that are not neutered may have more chances of developing prostate disease, testicular tumors, perineal hernias, and perianal tumors.
When to neuter a male dog?
The best age to neuter a male dog is 6-9 months but for some breeds it could be as early as 8 weeks. Yet it is always better to wait until the systems of your dog are entirely developed, preventing complications. As for male dogs, adult size is an important factor. Small breeds grow and mature early so for a small breed male puppy neutering age is 6-12 months. Whereas for a canine of large breed 9-18 months can be considered. At this age the complete development of the muscles and its growth plates get locked.
Our suggestions
If your dog is overweight or has health problems either male or female there is a slightly higher possibility of post-operative complications. Therefore, be meticulous with the diet of the dog. Also solely the procedure of spaying or neutering will not cause your dog to gain some weight. Yet have routine check-ups of your dog and keep a close eye on the behavioral changes.
Keep in mind that prostatic cancer, and orthopedic or joint diseases are slightly more common in dogs who have been spayed or neutered earlier. So when to spay or neuter a dog is a crucial decision. Just a simple decision at the right age can save you and your dog from a lot of hassle and emotional trauma.

India's 'rocket man' Kailasavadivoo Sivan, popularly known as K Sivan, has been an inspiration for many aspiring youngsters to build their career in space technology. From being a farmer's son studying in a Tamil-medium school to building himself to become the chief of The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Sivan has made youngsters believe that all dreams can be achieved through pure hard work.
Sivan joined ISRO in 1982 and after almost 36 years, he became the chairman of ISRO taking over the reins from A. S. Kiran Kumar on January 15, 2018. After four years, it is now time for him to move aside and hand over the chairmanship to S Somanath. January 14, 2022 is Sivan's last day as ISRO chief.
During his tenure, ISRO saw an accelerated growth making headlines globally and during this period of time, India's name was further etched in the world of space technology. Sivan had a huge role to play in shaping the world's outlook towards India as to what our country can do in space.
Not to forget, perhaps for the first time, India as a country could feel the excitement and emotions attached with an ill-fated moon mission when PM Narendra Modi himself hugged a teary Sivan to console him for the Chandrayaan 2 setback.

India Gets Its Own Desi GPS With the Launch of NavIC
Under Sivan leadership, India also got to witness the future of its very own navigation system-NavIC, similar to the American GPS system. ISRO introduced Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) to smartphones.
While Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016 had launched NavIC, it was only in 2020 we got to see NavIC in use after Qualcomm launched three mobile chipsets with support for NavIC. Your smartphone always had support for GLONASS, GPS, BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and Galileo navigation systems. But for the first time we got to see an Indian navigation system being introduced on smartphones launched after 2020.
This simply makes the vision to have a desi Google Maps alternative more possible in the near future that will even work better than Google Maps.

Third and Final Day: 2021 Southeast Calvary Chapel Pastors' Conference
Story and photos by Tom Price
Wednesday, February 17, was the final day of the 2021 Southeast Calvary Chapel Pastors' conference, held at Calvary Chapel Merritt Island, FL.
Pastor Kent Nottingham of Calvary Chapel Tallahassee, FL, again led off the day with devotions. He quoted Luke 18:1, where The Bible says that men always ought to pray and not lose heart. Kent spoke of a persevering prayer, which is praying without faltering when you don't initially see the answers to your prayer. He asked how many people give up when they have prayed for a situation for a long time and stop seeking the Lord when they don't see any movement.
John Spencer of Coastline Calvary Chapel in Gulf Breeze, FL, spoke from 2 Corinthians 4:16-17. Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day (v. 16).
Pastor John Spencer of Coastline Calvary Chapel in Gulf Breeze, FL, encouraged the brethren to not lose heart, even in these unprecedented times. John planted the church in 1983.
John stated, "Great men aren't born great, they are made great through persecution and trial." He emphasized how the Lord can make up the years eaten by the locust, even if there were rebellious or selfish years. One needs to ask God for restoration, hanging onto His promises, by repentance and forgiveness. So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the LORD your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame. (Joel 2:25,26)
"How are the locust years restored?" John asked. The locust years are restored to those who recognize their need for mercy," he responded. God can and will restore the fruitless and Christless years and past decisions we regret if we ask.
After a year of COVID-induced shutdowns, participants were moved to tears of joy as they worshiped the Lord.
Pastor Ken Graves of Calvary Chapel Bangor in Central Maine began the last session of the conference with a touching poem he wrote from Simon Peter's perspective of the suffering and rejection of his Savior. Since Ken is known for not having "feelings," as he freely admits, it was surmised that the tears flowing from his eyes afterwards were caused by particles in the air.
Ken encouraged the pastors to embrace the persecution that is to come.
Taking the congregation back to the familiar story dubbed "The Good Samaritan," Ken emphasized that it cost the Samaritan man plenty. Even if he didn't "feel" heartache for the beaten man left for dead, the Samaritan's actions were what counted. What kept the man from dying from the infections from the beating was the wine (antiseptic) the Samaritan poured onto the man's wounds. Likewise, Christian leaders are not to forgo the antiseptic of God's Word just because it is going to hurt and sting.
Pastor Ken Graves of Calvary Chapel Bangor in Central Maine projected a photo of his wife, Jeannette, back when they first met.
He borrowed a quote from Pastor Sandy Adams of Calvary Chapel Stone Mountain, GA, which he used to hearten the Bible teachers, "Let us not pull the teeth out from the text that God intends to bite with." Ken added, "You cannot 'feel' your way into right living, but you can live your way through right actions. It was the Samaritan's deeds that saved the man's life, not his pity."
The pastor from Maine admitted that forgiving someone who has hurt a person close to him has been his greatest struggle. One cannot wait for their emotions to "feel" forgiveness but rather to act on what one knows is required from the Lord. Ken joked that he always had to do the second thing that comes to his mind; his first reactive response would typically put him in jail. Many people are infected with unforgiveness; to forgive and love their enemies is a challenge. We are not to lean on or wait on our emotions to change before we can extend forgiveness to those who have hurt us.
Ken encouraged the crowd to trust God completely, remembering our King and our commission.
Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9
Speaking last, Pastor Ken Graves asked the congregants to pray for one another.
Calvary Chapel Merritt Island Assistant Pastor Howard Davies prays with a woman at the end of the conference. Howard was one of the first to share the Gospel with Malcolm Wild in England back in the '60s. Years later Malcolm invited Howard to join him in the ministry in Florida.
Congregants encouraged one another in prayer at the end of the conference.
Many of those attending showed their emotions after a time of prayer.
Pastor Malcolm Wild, whose church hosted the event, enjoys joining in with the worship team on the last day of the conference. Malcolm and his lifelong friend, Alwyn Wall, formed a popular Christian musical group who were frequent guests at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in the 1970s.
Joy abounded during the conference as people were free to sing and worship.
Some attendees came from other regions where churches are still limited because of the pandemic, so many found great joy in simply worshiping the Lord Jesus openly.

As kids, they hated each other. Macon Saint was beautiful, but despite his name, Delilah knew he was the devil. That he dated her slightly evil sister, Samantha, was no picnic either. When they broke up, it was a dream come true: Delilah never had to see him again.
Ten years later, her old enemy sends a text.
Delilah's sister has stolen a valuable heirloom from Macon, now a rising Hollywood star, and he intends to collect his due. One problem: Sam has skipped town.
Sparks still sizzle between Macon and Delilah, only this heat feels alarmingly like unwanted attraction. But Delilah is desperate to keep her weak-hearted mother from learning of her sister's theft. So she proposes a deal: she'll pay off the debt by being Macon's personal chef and assistant.
It's a recipe for disaster, but Macon can't stop himself from accepting. Even though Delilah clearly hates him, there's something about her that feels like home. Besides, they're no longer kids, and what once was a bitter rivalry has the potential to be something sweeter. Something like forever.
The enemies-to-lovers trope is one of my all time favourites, so this book sits directly in my happy pool of catnip, so to speak. The sniping, the sass, the smart and sarcastic quips? All belong in my happy little romance basket of tropes I like and what a fun ride this was, albeit one that had started off dubiously with a set of odd and somewhat roundabout circumstances that brought Delilah Baker and Macon Saint—former childhood enemies so to speak—back together as adults.
'Dear Enemy' is written around the scarring trauma of teenagehood—be it in the forms of scattered moments unkind teasing or bullying—and how it's easily dismissed today as something to get over, despite its power to shape adulthood. Delilah/Macon's hostile relationship many years ago hasn't been forgotten and buried and here, Kristen Callihan charts out the extent of the trauma that has its roots in manipulation in all its forms that each character did in his/her own way, subtly, unintentionally or consciously. That Delilah's endlessly toxic and self-absorbed sister played a huge part in their story (despite her absence) wasn't one that I was entirely comfortable with, but at least nasty issue of double-dipping wasn't quite one that came through strongly.
But what kept me going however, was a heroine who took no prisoners, laughed and lived and loved as directly and openly as she knew how. I loved Delilah's chutzpah, her personal sense of justice, her intolerance for people putting her down—all in all, for being a protagonist comfortable in her own skin and knowing where she stood with others, her only frustratingly blind spot being her family that she still clung onto by the end.
At the same time, Macon was fascinating in his willingness to be vulnerable and honest, and his recognition that his issues and actions had far-reaching consequences years later made him a protagonist that stood apart from the usual cocky and arrogant alpha ones who basically need a club to their heads for that to happen.
Theirs is long journey though, a slow, slow burn treatment that moves them from enemies to neutral parties, to friends and finally to more and is all the more convincing because of it. The read is quite an easy and engaging one because of it and though I would have liked a more solid conclusion, Callihan did deliver one of the better enemies-to-lovers stories I've read in a while.

The first major threat to broadcast television's dominance was, of course, cable television — and that was pretty much the only threat until deep into the Internet era when predictions began rolling in about how we'd all be watching TV on our computers eventually, and TV itself would die a slow death.
Obviously, that dark prophecy never came to pass. The Internet needed content, and content isn't cheap. But as Americans became more comfortable with streaming content on their computers and mobile devices (high-speed connections helped a lot), the time for Big Money arrived. Netflix proved that if you could pony up the funding, talented writers and directors who had bought into the multiplatform world would come and play. Hulu branched out into original content as well. And recently, online retailer Amazon, which doesn't lack for money, either, started Amazon Studios and adopted the Netflix model — but with a twist: It would "crowd source" its pilots. Its most recent batch (not counting children's programming), currently streaming on its site, comprises five new scripted pilots — two hourlong dramas and three half-hour comedies.

The verdict?
No one can ever doubt that the TV model has changed for good. Amazon, with its ability to draw in name talent (see: Big Money), is impressively building on what Netflix and Hulu are doing, and the result is that viewers will have even more options — a prospect that's more than a little daunting given how overwhelmed with quality choices we are already.
With this batch of pilots, it becomes clear that Amazon is a player. The company has previously released the political drama Alpha House and the comedy Betas, but this second wave of pilots could amount to bigger, broader success. Though some are stronger than others, all five pilots make legitimate cases for being greenlighted right now, and it's easy to see all of them attracting some kind of devoted audience (how large, of course, is the question).
For the last two years I've been a judge at the New York Television Festival, and I can tell you that there are plenty of independent series creators out there who, given the chance, could make successful shows for either broadcast or cable. Funding, of course, is the key issue for independents, which is clearly not a problem for Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. Given that they have money to burn, it shouldn't come as a surprise that breaking the insular traditions of Hollywood has yielded quality results. I wouldn't say the Amazon offerings come anywhere close to that spirit of open competition at the NYTF, but they are another testament to the depth of the below-the-line talent pool.

Here then, a look at the Amazon pilots:
Bosch: Based on the popular detective books by Michael Connelly and starring what seems like a perfectly cast Titus Welliver as Los Angeles homicide detective Harry Bosch, this series maneuvers between a modern noir story — beautifully shot night scenes, a smoking and drinking Bosch listening to old-school jazz in his dimly lit apartment (with an overly spectacular view for his pay grade) — and a more conventional cop drama. The latter bit is what might hurt Bosch, which does what it does with flair but isn't moving the needle on originality. Instead, the series works best when allowing Welliver to inhabit Bosch's skin — a flawed guy seemingly made to be a homicide cop (given that he displays little passion for anything else in his life). The pedigree here is strong, with Eric Overmyer (Treme, The Wire) at the helm and deserving a whole lot of slack to see what he can do. I would like to see more episodes of Bosch to see if it shifts more toward something you'd view on FX or HBO, or if it's really more like a network procedural. At the very least, the pilot established the character of Bosch, which is essential. Viewers should know by the end of the hour if they want more of him.
The After: Chris Carter (The X-Files) returns to television with another series about paranormal activity — this time something completely unexplained in the pilot (which may have been the best thing about it). All hell breaks loose one day in Los Angeles and a group of strangers are, at least initially, stranded in a parking garage. They are a disparate — but also kind of a cookie-cutter — menagerie: a female cop; a clown (yep), played by Jamie Kennedy, who stands out here; an escaped convict who claims he's innocent; a slick lawyer and his ditzy sidekick; a French actress who might be show's main protagonist; a drunken, lecherous Brit; and a super-rich widow whose sprawling mansion could become the group's safe haven (if there is such a thing in The After, which turns end-of-the-world-spooky just before the credits roll). The best part of this pilot is not knowing the nature of the recent apocalyptic event (and also its channeling a bit of Carter's underappreciated series Millennium). The worst part is that The After feels like a broadcast network series with pointlessly excessive swearing and a pointless nude scene.
STORY: How Some Freshman Shows Are Getting It Done — Or Not
Transparent: Created by Jill Soloway (Afternoon Delight, How to Make It in America, United States of Tara), this is Amazon's best offering and is generating the most buzz among critics — but it also has some worrisome weaknesses in the premise. This is a dramedy series where it's much too easy to give away the twist in the premise, so I won't. But it revolves around three siblings — the exceptionally cast Gaby Hoffmann, Jay Duplass and Amy Landecker — struggling in their own various ways to find themselves and make a living, when they are called together by their father, Jeffrey Tambor (excellent as usual), for some big news. It's a very indie-movie-ish 30-minute pilot and was lovely to watch. I would watch this every week. But I doubt it has very wide appeal and, once the twist to the premise is revealed, it's hard to imagine how that news is going to be the driving force, episode after episode, for the show. But again, this is the one Amazon hits out of the park.
Mozart in the Jungle: Based on the book Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs & Classical Music by Blair Tindall, this half-hour dramedy has the best, most unique (and welcome) premise: A look at the world of classical music, the people who dedicate their lives to it and how there's so much struggle for so many talented people devoted to their art. The pilot does an excellent job of focusing on a variety of ages as it circles around the New York Symphony. Malcolm McDowell is the outgoing, aging maestro, replaced by the most sought-after of new conductors, the flashy young Rodrigo (Gael Garcia Bernal); Bernadette Peters is the company's chairwoman; Saffron Burrows is the talented, midcareer cellist who helps out the fresh-faced newcomer, oboist Hailey (Lola Kirke, sister of Girls' Jemima Kirke). Any time we're given a premise that hasn't been explored much on television, I'm in. Especially if it's well done, which Mozart in the Jungle is. Directed by Paul Weitz, it's created and written by Alex Timbers, Roman Coppola and Jason Schwartzman.
The Rebels: This is the weakest of the five offerings by a wide margin, as the comedy tries to tackle the world of professional football in a story where a former cheerleader and wife of the owner of the fictional (and awful) Los Angeles Rebels is forced to take over the team when her husband dies. Natalie Zea (Justified) completely and utterly nails the part, but there's just not enough here to ground the series. It's over-the-top, flimsy (as most sports comedies are) and has its funniest moment when a coked-up monkey takes a gun and starts shooting. I would watch the monkey do that every week, but The Rebels seems slight and definitely more of a broadcast series (though it lays on the swearing to seem more cable-like).
I would rate the Amazon pilots in order thusly: Transparent, Mozart in the Jungle, Bosch, The After and The Rebels. But the fact is, Amazon Studios took a big leap in getting better at what it does, and all of these shows could easily be viable. It will be interesting to see how many Amazon goes with — especially since the company isn't actually hurting for money.

Shoemakers are compartments or furniture for storing a wide variety of shoes, they can fit into different proposals, for example: in a closet, shelves on the wall, niches on the floor, inside rustic furniture, glass windows and even in drawers.
One of the most important precautions when planning a shoe rack is to estimate the average number of shoes the residents of the apartment will have so that they all fit in the compartment.
Another interesting tip is to use a small shoe rack at the entrance of the house or apartment so that you have the habit of storing shoes when you get home to avoid the build-up of dirt and buildings for a cleaner home to have.
60 shoe models to inspire you
To make it easier to see, we select the best designs with different crab models so that you can be inspired when you draw or buy your own model. Check out all the available images:
Photo 1 – Optimize the ladder room by exiting the stairs with some features.
The ladder is a constructive element for movement and is often overlooked for other functions. There are drawers at every step in this project to keep shoes, books, linens, bags, and anything else you might want.
Photo 2 – Leave a stand by the front door to avoid dirt in the rest of the house.
An interesting tip is to leave a small shoe rack at the entrance to the residence to prevent dirt from entering the house from the street.
Picture 3 – Shoe rack with PVC pipes.
The PVC pipe is a great material to reuse in decoration. To attach a shoe rack, choose a tube of a suitable diameter to store each pair of shoes, then cut the tubes into 30 cm pieces.
Picture 4 – Closet with shelves for shoes.
Picture 5 – Use a very small corner of the closet to carry the shoes.
Always try to leave the ends of the closet for the shoes, after all, clothes in the closet are priority and should be in a privileged area.
Image 6 – How about bringing a stylish corner into the room?
One way to decorate the wall is to hold some hooks to hang bags and accessories. In this composition, try to include a few pictures and a low dresser for your shoes.
Image 7 – shoe rack.
The wire racks have a side structure and a kind of shelf to support the shoes. They're perfect for pointing and a lot easier to find. You can accommodate multiple shoe racks by creating a cabinet that suits your needs.
Picture 8 – Turn your retro furniture into a beautiful shoe rack.
An old glass that is no longer in use is an excellent resource to reuse and assemble a beautiful shoe rack. Regardless of the material, wipe it carefully and put your pair of shoes in an organized manner.
Image 9 – Shoe rack with baskets.
This shoe was made in modules in a shelf format and is used to reinforce the style chosen for the room.
Photo 10 – Shoe cabinet under the stairs.
In case of doubt what needs to be installed in the ladder room? Arrange a closet! He even got sliding aids to make it easier to use during the day.
Image 11 – Handmade shoe rack.
Make your shoe rack yourself – despite the small size, it can also be made with a larger box. To do this, drill holes in the cardboard and thread the sutures to support the shoes.
Photo 12 – Paint your wooden furniture.
Figure 13 – Stool with wooden box that serves as a shoe rack.
A good idea to give the fair box a different look is a stew. In this case, it's not just a stylish shoe rack, it's also a super cool and personalized bench.
Image 14 – Shoe cabinet with mirror.
This model is ideal for those who have little space in the room because it combines two functions in one mobile phone. It's cool to put casters / wheels on the phone so you can drag it to any corner of the room.
Figure 15 – Shoe rack.
Continuing the previous project proposal, we have an invisible shoe rack as the furniture gets stuck in the wall creating the illusion that it is just a mirror.
Image 16 – Shoe rack.
Image 17 – Modern shoe rack.
Image 18 – Partitions for shoe racks.
The best way to distribute the shoes in the closet is to make shelves instead of niches. In addition to being more fit, they are more organized and don't knead their shoes.
Image 19 – Shelves decorate and are functional.
Every shelf is welcome in the facility! You can even decorate your wall with this wall shoe rack.
Picture 20 – Shoe rack on the wall.
Image 21 – Handmade shoe rack with box.

Picture 32 – Shoe rack in the entrance hall.
Picture 33 – Use the space under the bed.
Image 34 – Make this shoe rack yourself with concrete.
The reuse of building materials is a decoration trend. The cool thing is to assemble a piece of furniture with the materials you already have! Instead of the concrete block, it could also be a block made of bricks – the wood from the joinery, for example, can be replaced with the leftover floor.
Picture 35 – On open shelves of the closet.
Picture 36 – Hide this little corner with a nice curtain.
Leaving cool shoes is good! This curtain solution is stylish and cozy – ideal for those who like to have their shoes in view and hide when necessary.

Image 38 – Reserve a shoe space in the closet.
Image 39 – In the joinery design, plan a small corner for the shoes.
For less visible areas, like the small niches in this room, the alternative was to prop up the shoes and leave them visible on the sideboard.
Photo 40 – Baskets and shelves for storing shoes.
Image 41 – Shoe rack in the hallway.
Bet on a functional corridor! Arrange a narrow piece of furniture (about 20 cm) and form several envelopes to put on your shoes. The opening can be a tilting or sliding door.

Image 46 – Shoe rack with metal tube.
Picture 47 – Glass shelves for the storage of shoes.
Picture 48 – Organizational example in the shoe rack.
Keeping shoes in closets is often a problem as they are usually kinked in a corner. Not only do they take up more space, but they also tend to have creases on the barrel, so the pant hangers are a great option for keeping and keeping them in order.
Image 49 – Open space in the closet for storing shoes.
Image 50 – Female cabinet with shoe rack.

Now that you already know several different references, you can start thinking about your space and how a shoe rack can match the suggestion. Use your creativity to get incredible results.
Where can you buy overshoes on the internet?
Although many designs include the planned home furniture shoe rack, there are separate and functional models that can be purchased separately, some of them on the Internet. Here are some of the stores we sell online shoemakers:

The mind of Edgar Allan Poe… A place to visit, but one is well advised not to live there.
This is the caveat provided to my students in English 2 and English 4 when we approach "the original emo." Certainly the man knew both how to turn a phrase and stun the sensibilities in record time, manifest in short, sharp shocks of fiction like "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Cask of Amontillado." Clearly his early history elicits both sympathy and shudder, as the orphaned son of vaudevillian actors and husband to his thirteen-year-old cousin. However, his lying dead in a Baltimore gutter at the age of 40 after years of philandering, chugging absinthe, and suffering from chronic depression should give even the most devout Poe fans cause to reconsider their loyalties.
Yet I must confess. Despite all his faults and failures, Edgar penned one piece that this teacher exalts in performing each year with as much enthusiasm and fervor as she can muster.
Let me preface by saying that good narrative poems are hard to come by these days. This is because they have to be 100% poem and 100% story—an actual plot nestled in poetic form, rife with imagery and metaphor, complemented with rhythm and rhyme. So few and far between are they that I turned toward the classics to compile my own Top Three favorites:
- THIRD – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Paul Revere's Ride"
- SECOND – Alfred Noyes's "The Highwayman"
- FIRST – Wait for it… Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven"
The popularity of "The Raven" was the 1840s equivalent of going viral. Local newspapers and periodicals printed and re-printed it, selling enormous numbers of copies each time. For a while, Edgar Allan Poe became a household name. The rest, as they say, is history.
Between teaching narrative poems in English 2 and Transcendental Pessimism in English 4 on four campuses, I enjoy the distinct pleasure of reciting "The Raven" eight times a year. Do this every year for over ten years, and some of it starts to sink in. When I look up from the book and recite a stanza or two from memory, I feel just like Robin Williams's Mr. Keating from "Dead Poets Society."
With all due respect to the venerable James Earl Jones, my favorite spoken rendition of this classic comes from Christopher Walken. His voice lends the perfect nervous pitch. Click on this link, and see if you agree: "The Raven," recited by Christopher Walken
Since my husband had not heard it in its entirety before, one night I read the poem aloud to him (because that is what English teachers do for fun). After I finished, he paused a second and casually remarked, "You know where he is, don't you?"
The question seemed simple enough. "I assume he is in the house he once shared with Lenore."
"Okay, but here's another way of thinking about it," he continued. "He is in a room surrounded by memories of a woman he can never forget, trapped with some demon bird whose sole job is to constantly remind him of how she will never be his again. Perhaps Lenore is not the one who is dead."
Whoa. That was heavy. I'm not saying he is right, but like all good poetry, it gives you something to chew on.
If nothing else, at least now you know why Baltimore's football team is called the Ravens.

Ask anyone if they get enough sleep and the answer will most likely be no. Even with the best intentions to get that optimum eight hours a night, hectic jobs, busy schedules and demanding family lives can quickly put a stop to that. And that's before you've even taken into account any form of exercise, social life or me time.
Enter model and AfN-accredited nutritionist Sarah Ann Macklin, who was inspired to get a degree in Human Nutrition after experiencing the issues around diet that can arise from working in the fashion industry. Her philosophy involves applying evidence-based practice to provide an accessible approach to nutrition.
So how can your diet affect your sleep? For starters, step away from that dark chocolate you might be saving for yourself as a treat in the evenings.
"A lot of people swing towards dark chocolate because they believe it's much healthier and it's high in magnesium – and it is, it's a great food swap for a normal chocolate bar," she tells us. "However, in the evening it's not that great because it is very, very high in caffeine."
For more advice from Macklin on how to get the best possible quality shut-eye, watch the video above.
