In the lawsuit, Apple says Mobile Star imprinted Apple logos on cables and chargers that "pose a significant risk of overheating, fire, and electrical shock." It says the chargers and cables were being sold on Amazon as genuine Apple products.
Amazon isn't named in the suit. Mobile Star didn't return a voicemail seeking comment. | 2019-04-23T19:57:50 | https://www.ktnv.com/news/national/many-genuine-apple-products-on-amazon-are-fake-apple-says |
Sarasota Forum: How to Fight Trump - Revolutionary Politics or Democratic Party?
The Trump Agenda is now unmistakable. It wants to return the U.S. to an era when the rich could do whatever they want, with nothing for the people, no protections for oppressed sectors of society and no regard for the environment.
Millions of people realize that the only option is to unite, organize and resist. The real question is how. We can’t let the Democratic Party mislead us into the channel of electoral politics, or sell us war-mongering rhetoric against Russia. The crisis of the whole system has shown the need for revolutionary change. | 2019-04-24T22:43:46 | https://www.pslweb.org/sarasota_how_to_fight_trump |
New Publication: "Evolving a learning analytics platform"
Bader-Natal, A. and Lotze, T. Evolving a learning analytics platform. Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge. ACM Press, 2011.
Web-based learning systems offer researchers the ability to collect and analyze fine-grained educational data on the performance and activity of students, as a basis for better understanding and support- ing learning among those students. The availability of this data enables stakeholders to pose a variety of interesting questions, often specifically focused on some subset of students. As a system matures, the number of stakeholders, the number of interesting questions, and the number of relevant sub-populations of students also grow, adding complexity to the data analysis task. In this work, we describe an internal analytics system designed and developed to address this challenge, adding flexibility and scalability. Here we present several examples of typical examples of analysis, discuss a few uncommon but powerful use-cases, and share lessons learned from the first two years of iteratively developing the platform. | 2019-04-20T10:23:37 | https://aribadernatal.com/2011/02/28/evolving-a-learning-analytics-platform/ |

BANGKOK: 27 November 2017: Thailand’s Prime Minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha, completed a major Cabinet reshuffle, 24 November, that saw Minister of Tourism and Sports, Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, step down from the post after three years.
Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau chairman, Weersak Kowsuat, a former minister of tourism and sports in 2008 and chair of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, replaces Kobkarn.
She also posted a handwritten letter on her Facebook page outlining her efforts during her term to develop Thai tourism to meet the goals of quality and sustainability.
One of the highlights of her three-year term was welcoming the UNWTO World Tourism Day celebrations that were hosted in Bangkok, October 2016, when she chaired a conference on making tourism more friendly for disabled and mobility challenged travellers.
The latest reshuffle saw 10 new appointments, nine ministers retired and eight reassigned to new responsibilities.
Media and travel industry speculation in early November, suggested a Cabinet reshuffle was in the works. However, Kobkarn led a travel industry delegation to attend World Travel Market in London mid-November, and was busy fulfilling official duties up and during the weekend. She will continue to do so until the new ministers receive their official appointment papers from HM the King.
His Majesty the King endorsed the new cabinet line-up 23 November and the reshuffle was published in the Royal Gazette 24 November.
Weerasak Kowsurat, named the new tourism and sports minister, posted on his Facebook page thanks to all who had congratulated him. He is no stranger to tourism having served as Minister of Tourism and Sports in an earlier government in 2008.
The 50-year old is a graduate of Harvard Law School. He has served as a member of parliament twice and held various ministerial roles including tourism, culture, social development and human security.
He also served as chairman of the Board of the Sports Authority of Thailand and chairman of the Board of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. He is currently chairman of TCEB, a role he will now have to relinquish.
When he served as the country’s Minister of Tourism and Sports in 2008, he addressed PATA’s first CEO Challenge Summit hosted in Bangkok.
That’s the challenge the new minister now faces 10 years later in tourism – how to prevent over use in tourism and how to develop business models that are sustainable in the long-term and balanced for destinations and also communities.
Thai Airways International reported 3.87 billion baht in net losses for the first nine months this year, widening from 1.47 billion baht in losses in the year-ago period.
Bangkok Airways posted a net loss of 143 million baht for the first nine months, compared with 2.08 billion baht in net profit a year earlier.
Asia Aviation, the holding firm of low-cost carrier Thai AirAsia, made a 1-billion-baht profit, down 45% from the first nine months of 2016.
Nok Air narrowed its loss to 1.62 billion baht in the period, down from 2.11 billion baht previously.
Flights fall short of 2017 target, says the Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (Aerothai).
She’s out just 2 months before the ATF. Anything to do with that event?
one thing for sure she won’t be let go with such disrespect if she’s done a decent job.
Ministers come and go, it’s in the job description. It’s the permanent secretary who stays on through thick and thin. The former minister came to the job with no experience. She made mistakes for sure, but her contribution in three years surpassed the efforts of many former ministers. Give credit where it is due. And why slang someone who was definitely sincere, worked hard and made a difference. On the point of whether she did a good job or not, there are hundreds of positive comments on the former minister’s Facebook to suggest she was appreciated by many people in the tourism industry. She was also one of the few ministers of tourism who could converse in excellent English and respond to even the most difficult questions raised by the international press at major shows such as ITB Berlin and WTM London. She set a high work ethic benchmark. It will remain to be seen if Khun Weerasak can match that performance and reach out to all sectors of the travel industry, rather than just keep in touch with a favoured few who tell him what he would like to hear.
One dinosaur out One dinosaur in. Expect the same old campaigns with new names. Same old “Amazing Thailand” slogan, and same old inflated tourist and revenue numbers.
He must reform the system of tourism management, work on different tourism dimensions not only concentrate on TAT’s work that concentrates on luring more tourist numbers both domestic and international. Tourism work must be done across the full system of management. Cooperation and gaining full support from all other Ministries and every stakeholders concerned must be achieved to move Thai tourism success forward in a sustainable and responsible manner.
I am not sure why so many people are pre-occupied with the minister’s tears. There is definitely a need for tears over the state of Thai tourism, not because it is failing, but because it is too successful. Over-tourism is here. Perhaps that is what the minister saw, hence the tears. An industry that is greedy and often dishonest and exploits natural assets and communities is a subject that should prompt tears. The new minister, or old one back with us, will have to decide what path to take. The easy way is to leave matters well alone. It will take a strong minister indeed to tell the travel industry it is time to apply the brakes to stop “over tourism”. If he does he will discover he has few friends in an industry bent on profit whatever the cost, survival whatever it takes.
it is not tears for let-go-unexpected. if things are good, she wont be let go unexpected. | 2019-04-19T22:13:36 | http://www.ttrweekly.com/site/2017/11/a-former-minster-returns-to-thai-tourism/ |

Renishaw's Zsombor Zelena collaborates with 3DHISTECH Ltd, a pathology equipment and services specialist, to provide them with the latest in encoder technology. Watch the video summary below and read the full article for further information and links.
Located in Budapest, Hungary, 3DHISTECH designs and manufactures one of the world's fastest and highest-capacity autonomous panoramic digital slide scanners – the P1000.
The P1000 is a highly accurate scanning microscope that enables large pathology labs to capture ultra-high resolution images of medical samples, while operating unmanned for up to 2 days. Building upon 3DHISTECH's successful product range, this new generation of digital slide scanner is the first to have integrated optical and magnetic position feedback encoders for enhanced throughput.
The VIONiC™ digital incremental optical encoder system with RTLC-S stainless steel tape scale has been installed on the three axes of the microscope, and the absolute LA11 magnetic encoder system was selected for the pick-and-place robot of the slide loader. These encoders enable the P1000 to operate at higher speeds than competing products in an accurate and repeatable way.
During a scanning procedure, a stage with the sample is moved in the horizontal plane, along the X and Y axes, while the lens is adjusted vertically to maintain image focus. The higher the magnification, the greater the accuracy required to ensure accurate stitching of multiple photomicrographs to create a high resolution image.
3DHISTECH specified a high resolution encoder, ultra-precise mechanics, and a fine-tuned process control system with a short control response time. These requirements are challenging in terms of mechanical and electrical engineering. Engineers had to minimise the stick-slip effect, and create a control loop with precise feedback for driving a piezomotor with a 100 nm step-size. The readhead's resolution and noise level (non-repeatable errors) were the most important performance parameters that influenced selection of the encoder system.
For the pick-and-place robot of the slide-loader, a high accuracy encoder was unnecessary as wide setup tolerances and easy installation were more important, as was reliability. When designing the microscope, the engineers chose the same encoder specification for each axis to simplify installation and servicing. They also selected cut-to-length scales, which allows the stocking of compact tape scale reels.
The encoder systems are surprisingly easy to install and set up in light of their performance.
Since the step-size of the chosen piezo-motor is 100 nm, the required resolution of the encoder is 50 nm to allow sufficient servo-bandwidth. The depth of field of the lens with the highest magnification factor is 0.2 μm, which gives every design parameter a sizable safety margin. The sample holder slides on a granite block to minimise frictional forces and vibration transfer from the outside.
The VIONiC series is Renishaw's ultra-high accuracy, all-in-one digital incremental encoder for both linear and rotary applications. VIONiC combines all necessary interpolation and digital signal processing inside the readhead, with cyclic error as low as <±10 nm and resolutions down to 2.5 nm. It has many customizable parameters, from resolution and edge separation to connector-type and cable lengths. Unrivalled ease of set-up and calibration is supported by an Advanced Diagnostic Tool (ADT), which includes user software that allows remote control and monitoring of VIONiC's set-up and calibration routines.
The pick-and-place robot comprises three belt-driven axes with encoder feedback. In this case, the LA11 magnetic encoder by Renishaw's associate company RLS is the ideal solution as it is a true-absolute encoder system with a large rideheight tolerance. The controller uses SPI protocol (Serial Peripheral Interface - an absolute signal protocol), so the LA11 encoder with RS422 (a digital 5 V-potential incremental signal protocol with twisted pairs) parallel output is the optimal solution for the robot to achieve the specified accuracy of ±0.1 mm. Furthermore, the true-absolute measuring principle protects the samples in the event of unexpected shutdowns: after a power outage the encoder reports its position immediately upon power restoration without the need for time-consuming homing cycles.
With Renishaw's technical support, 3DHISTECH's engineering team were able to specify an encoder for each machine axis and find the appropriate encoder products for their applications. Advanced encoders, such as Renishaw's VIONiC series and RLS' LA11 magnetic encoder, enable the P1000 to achieve truly market-leading performance.
3DHISTECH was founded in 1996 and manufactures high-speed slide scanners and digital microscopes. Its aim is to fully digitalise the traditional pathology workflow to meet the ever growing demands of 21st century healthcare. 3DHISTECH's facility is located in Budapest, but it has machines all over the world from Europe and US to East Asia, including Korea and Japan.
RLS d.o.o is a Renishaw associate company. RLS produce a range of robust magnetic rotary and linear motion sensors for applications such as industrial automation, metalworking, textiles, packaging, electronic chip / board production, robotics and more. | 2019-04-25T06:59:27 | https://www.renishaw.com/en/renishaw-encoders-go-under-the-3dhistech-microscope--43276 |

Ned has a biciee and this is a little test post.
Quite a few of them know exactly what they are doing.
It is deliberate chaos, deliberate obfuscation, deliberate though cloudy malevolence to engender fear, loathing, and – consequently – adherence to the Powers That Be that seem to offer security and stability.
Now, where have we met these tactics before?
Never mind: that one only lasted 12 years. And only 22 – 25 million approx. military deaths. And only anywhere between 50 – 80 million civilian deaths.
But hey, you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs – and I bet that would be Blood Oaf’s, Erica’s, Cory’s, HoJos, BishJr’s …. response …..
Can anyone think of even one Federal Coalition MP who might blench at this prospect?
I was thinking of the “unaligned” Senators.
Could not agree more about the Rabble.
Looking at Tone’s effort with eggs – is he practicing for egg-on-face?
“Interesting times” doesn’t even start to describe these.
For whatever reason, when I heard the Doctor Who theme tonight I felt I wanted to watch a Harry Potter movie (some similarity in the music?).
Pyne reminds me of Dudley Dursley. Hopefully, he ends up with a pig’s tail too.
THE guest most worth watching during Annabel Crabb’s Kitchen Cabinet with Tony Abbott the other night was the bottle of red wine.
Glasses are poured, and Crabb, who brought the wine, drinks hers. But the level in the bottle, and Abbott’s glass, remains unchanged throughout dinner. He does not touch it.
The London Telegraph, recently introducing the next Australian PM to its readers, said Tony Abbott “likes a beer or two”; and this morning it was reported that Abbott’s Warringah electorate in North Sydney had the heaviest drinkers in Australia.
Abbott does not actually enjoy beer or wine, in the sense he takes an interest in what he’s drinking. Liquor is functional. When he drinks, he murders a drink.
I observed Abbott’s drinking manner most closely during the fabled trip to Kings Creek station, in Central Australia, when we all almost never came home from an outback quad bike adventure.
Abbott cracks a beer, sits on it a moment, then drains it, clean, in one go.
Then he crushes the can.
A glass of white wine goes like a shooter in a Manly pub.
As for food, I was sitting opposite Abbott at a barbecue. I cut a seven mm rope of fat from my porterhouse, discarding it to the edge of my plate.
Abbott finished his dinner before everyone else, and was looking around for more.
His fork speared the fat and he swallowed it in a single gulp. The host then noticed his desperation and arranged another steak for Abbott.
I’d thought he might have been one of those calorie-counters, who calculated every incoming morsel. But he was so far ahead of the calories and they had no chance of catching him.
Once Crabb was ushered out the door after dinner, Abbott would have said: “Right, where’s dinner?” And that glass of red would have been eradicated in a gratified gulp.
Not sure if this provides a useful metaphor for Abbott as the next PM.
But when you’re next heading to the Lodge for dinner, and pull in the bottle shop, don’t worry about that $70 bottle from that little Geelong winery. Budget $15 to $20. He’ll like it fine.
The word “uncouth” is way too gentle. Even “oafish” doesn’t cut it.
Jane Austen might have put it “bereft of manners, wit, intelligence and any way of understanding them”.
Are we due for poll headings (!) tonight?
I’m sailing into the wind and have four sails up. Is that a good thing?
If you have enough years under your belt, you have met the likes of Abbott, probably too many times….and have learnt to avoid them many more times!….two “t’s” in Abbott…..double trouble, mealy mouthed and a tight-arse to boot……to be avoided at all cost! | 2019-04-24T22:56:30 | https://pbxmastragics.com/2014/08/24/a-test-post/ |
(January 3, 2014)—The American Ornithologists’ Union (AOU) and the Cooper Ornithological Society (COS) are pleased to announce that their international, peer-reviewed journals of ornithology, The Auk: Ornithological Advances and The Condor: Ornithological Applications, launched this week with new scopes. Articles on the differen t aspects of ornithological research and avian biology are published weekly on the journals’ new website: www.aoucospubs.org.
The AOU and COS have refocused their flagship journals to cover specific topic areas in ornithology: The Auk focuses on basic science andThe Condor emphasizes applied science. Together they cover a complementary spectrum of avian research. A list of topics for each journalcan be found on the website.
“Simply put, both journals become more efficient and more valuable to the ornithological community by dividing subject matter but sharing editorial and production offices,” says Philip C Stouffer, Editor-in-Chief of The Condor: Ornithological Applications.
The journals appear in a new format, and articles are published weekly with digital object identifiers (DOIs) and page numbers for citation. The redesigned journals share submission guidelines and formats and are managed by a central publication office. The new weekly schedule provides ornithology researchers with a more rapid publishing experience than traditional quarterly publishing, giving them a more efficient method for sharing and receiving research results.
“Together with a fully online submission and editorial process, the new editorial flow should dramatically decrease the time from submission to publication for authors, and provide new articles for our readers on a weekly basis,” says Mark E. Hauber, Editor-in-Chief of The Auk: Ornithological Advances.
Visit www.aoucospubs.org, where everyone can view abstracts and the tables of contents for both journals, sign up to receive email notifications for new articles, and create lists of favorite articles and issues. Society members can read all the content in their society’s journal. Print copies will continue to be published quarterly.
The journal website features new research articles published each week; issues from 2008 to present; information on how to submit a manuscript; details on the topics each journal covers; the editorial boards; news and press releases; and information about accessing the journals through other databases such as BioOne, JSTOR, and SORA (the Searchable Ornithological Research Archive). Articles published more than 24 months ago and as far back as 2008 are open access on the journal website at www.aoucospubs.org.
The Auk has been the official publication of the American Ornithologists’ Union (www.aou.org) since 1884. In 2009, The Auk was honored as one of the 100 most influential journals of biology and medicine over the past 100 years, and currently holds the top impact factor among ornithological journals.
The Condor began in 1899 as the journal of the Cooper Ornithological Club, a group of ornithologists in California that became the Cooper Ornithological Society(www.cooper.org). The Condor has developed into one of the world’s foremost ornithological journals.

"Buildings as a social process" was the title when UMA teacher Toms Kokins lectured April 15th in a packed seminar room. Toms who is born and raised in Latvia shared his path from student and urban activist to the position of designing and completing a project in a small town near Riga according to his longtime dedication of developing public spaces away from wasteful traffic dominated solutions.
The development, planning and execution of buildings are hot topics in the sustainability debate and wood as a construction material has gained a lot of attention therein. Wood is a material with a rich history in Västerbotten and still of great importance in the local industry. This was also the point of departure when Umeå School of Architecture on April 12th invited to a full day dedicated to wood.
For first year students', the academic year at UMA concludes with a collective production of pavilions in scale 1x1. The pavilions are thereafter exhibited in the School's End of Year / Summer Exhibition in the beginning of June.

Ana Betancour lectured on "The Right to the City and the Right to Housing"
During Thursday lunch time Umeå University regularly organizes "Science lunches" at centraly located Café Station. The purpose is to invite UmU-based researchers to present their research in a popular scientific manner. The frame for this semester is "Democracy" On October 18th Umeå School of Architecture rector Ana Betancour spoke on the theme "The Right to the City & The Right to Housing".
During the first two weeks of the fall semester, all students and staff at Umeå School of Architecture has been engaged in a workshop titled "Alternative Futures". The results of research, discussions and imagination have been compiled in the format of fanzines - do-it-yourself magazines.
The workshop in Træna gathered students from New York and Scandinavia to work together on concrete design issues between the urban and the "un-urban." It was a collaboration between the School of Visual Arts (New York), Umeå School of Architecture (Sweden), the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (Norway), the Norwegian Centre for Design & Architecture, the Municipality of Træna, and the Træna Artist in Residence program.
During the workshop held in Umeå the students worked together to develop a new catalogue of social-public furniture; defined as Urban Entities. Engaged as an "act-tank" group, the students proposed solutions of immediate implementation and assemblage, using recyclable materials deployed with minimum impact construction methods.
The workshop held in Palermo gathered international students in Architecture, Art and the Humanities during one week in Palermo, Sicily.

Every academic year at UMA starts with a vertical workshop that engages all students and staff. This year, the theme was Urban Networks and the idea was to investigate urban space from within. To find their paths of investigation, the students threw cooked spaghettis randomly on a map of Umeå. The task was to explore social-, cultural-, ecological-, economic-, initiatives/structures/networks within that path, created by the spaghetti. By moving in this unconventional way, the students had to challenge their preconceived notions and a broader understanding of the path could take place.

THERE WILL BE NO WHINING IN THE DAMMIT CAMP, DAMMIT !
Not me, I like scotch, but he can whine all he wants!
Boy all that whinin' sure put a halt ta the thread, dropped all the way ta page 6!
Yessiree, makin smoke in Pozo this weekend, thought I might make it down to Norco but no can do this time.
Interests:Prospecting, relic hunting, reloading and shooting, California and Nevada history. I enjoy fresh water fishing, big game and upland bird hunting. I am a bbq nut and enjoy cooking for others and large groups in my outdoor cowboy kitchen.
We are adding new feathers, string and other cool thingies to the Roost pending the big DAMMIT gathering in 2 weeks.
Are you going to be in Pozo this weekend? I am planning on being there.
I don't see many (ANY) of you DAMMITs signed up to shoot Plainfield Raid this weekend.....except for Sawmill. I have to work. Now come on. We manage to make it down there a couple of times a year. Chairkiller een took a couple boxes of seegars.
we are going to Pozo this weekend. Sorry Cranky we are not doing much traveling until probably the end of the year.
Only get so much time off, seems most of vacation is taken up with about 3 trips/ shoots a year, makes it kinda tough.
Now a young strappin' fella like you should be able to stay up for a couple of days right? At least we could when we were like ........................ twenty.
I have to pick and choose too, there are too many good shoots this time of year so it was Tombstone, Fort Miller, and the Ambush, maybe John Wayne this year. Next year it will be different shoots in different places. Let's see, Winter Range, Drygulch at Arroyo Cantua, Plainfield, GFBJL. ?
Love to see you at DG at AC! It's at my home range.
I don't get to many annuals since Hubby quit shooting and we sold the RV. So, I pick carefully as it gets expensive. My "to do" list is GFBJL, JWSO, and WR. This year I'm very excited to be going to the US Open September 9-11 in IL. So, I think that will shoot my budget (pun intended).
I'm so excited as I will combine going to the match with seeing relatives who I haven't seen in years.
Yee Haw! Will any other Dammits be there?
and Great Ceegars they were......I got pics of everyone walking around with one of them things stickin out of their mouth!
No E is going to the US Open? Dammit, I wish I could make a trip like that. I am jealous dammit. There probably won't be many California Dammits there, but you might see a badge or two from some of the other Dammits. Plus the Dooley gang is making a show of it. You are in pretty good company there if you don't hurt yourself laughing at all their hijinks.
You will be representing the California division, so you better practice and do real good dammit.
Shootin golf balls sounds like fun.
Wouldn't do any good. I will be shooting unfamiliar guns and I'm rather set in my ways.
Hey Feelthy, it might be fun to shoot GBs with a SG. | 2019-04-25T04:16:19 | https://forums.sassnet.com/index.php?/topic/144080-calling-all-dammits/page/3/ |

While we thought initially that AppRadioLIVE is a revamp of AppRadio Mode, it has become clear that Pioneer's latest app for its AppRadio Mode enabled head units is designed to work alongside the AppRadio app. AppRadio Mode remains the same with the ability to launch any compatible app from its interface.
What AppRadioLIVE does is completely independent to AppRadio Mode.
With AppRadioLIVE you get functionality of apps like INRIX Traffic, Yelp reviews, Rdio and Stitcher for music, iPod control, and calendar using Eventseeker and Facebook. All these functions are put in one interface that looks great.
To launch other AppRadio Mode compatible apps you will still have to use the original AppRadio app. AppRadioLIVE is for the connected user on the go giving you your daily schedule, weather and news information, and traffic status in one place while playing you music on your way to your appointment or work.
More details will be available as we continue to use the app. Keep an eye out for our full review of AppRadioLIVE. | 2019-04-18T19:22:25 | http://www.appradioworld.com/2014/06/breaking-appradio-live-isnt-replacing.html |

Unlike most diamonds of similar caliber that were found in the ancient mines of India, the Pink Jubilee was found in a mine that is very dear to our hearts, the Argyle Mine.
The Argyle Mine is without a doubt one of the greatest diamond mines of our time. The East Kimberly mine located in Western Australia is the main supplier of the exceptionally rare pink diamonds of immense quality and saturation.
The story of our stone begins one fateful day in August 2011 where it was unearthed as a 12.76 carat, light pink rough. Upon its discovery, it was said that the Jubilee was truly one-of-a-kind, as it was the largest pink diamond rough to have ever been found in the mine’s almost 30 years of business.
It is a known fact that pink diamonds are very rare (among the rarest of colored diamonds) but large pink stones are even harder to come across. With the Jubilee being of such size and saturation, experts of the mine stated that it would be very unlikely that they would ever be able to find another stone of such caliber.
Pink diamonds are so incredibly rare that Christie’s auction house has auctioned less than 20 polished pink diamonds in excess of 10 carats in nearly 250 years of history - including the hotly contested sale of what is thought to be the Princie Diamond.
With the market so hot for pink diamonds, prices can regularly exceed $1-2 million per carat at the annual Argyle Tender, and fresh out of the ground, the diamond was estimated to be worth in the tens of millions at auction. Since the mine produces only a handful of stones over 1 carat each year, it was speculated that even by size alone, the Jubilee could command a stunning price.
With such promise, anticipation was rising as the stone was being ready to be handed off to expert diamond cutter Richard How Kim Kam in Perth, close to the beginning of 2012. The entire transformation process of cutting and polishing the stone was expected to take no more than 10 days and everyone's excitement was becoming apparent.
As the cutting process began, certain issues came to light. Along with a series of little flaws, the stone had a major internal fault line that put the entire stone in jeopardy. Rather than risk completely destroying the diamond, Rio Tinto decided to halt the cutting process. While still valuable in terms of size and color alone, the record-setting stone was ultimately donated to the Melbourne Museum Victoria. The now 8 carat, Argyle Pink Jubilee was set as part of their permanent collection, where it sits proudly on display in the museum’s Dynamic Earth Exhibition.
There is still widespread debate stating that the stone could still be cut into 2 smaller pieces along the fault line and recut into two gems, however, there seem to be no such plans for this.
A large number of pink diamonds currently rest in private hands either as jewelry, or kept in vaults as investments. The opportunity for the public to see and understand these wonderful stones can only help future generations appreciate diamonds both as works of art and as a product of billions of years of geological processes.

The setting of Lavanda is lovely. The restaurant‘s wrap-around porch in the Towles Court Arts District is one of the most peaceful places to eat in Sarasota. It’s almost charming enough to not notice that we are, by about 35 years, the youngest people dining here. It was my birthday, and Gabriel had taken me, by request, to this restaurant that I’d heard so much about.
For someone who reads and writes reviews as frequently as I do, it is no one’s fault but my own that while the overall ratings for Lavanda are excellent, I ignored the fact that it’s simply not my taste. My favorite meals are inventive, exciting, unique. The food at Lavanda is classic, traditional, boring, bland. As soon as I looked over the menu I was concerned. Nothing on this list sounded at all inspired or new. This is the kind of food that feeds (and impresses!) the over 70 crowd who remembers old New York eateries for it’s dimly lit, stodgy, upper crust predictability and not for it’s cutting edge, melting pot, thrilling creativity.
I started with a half-size appetizer. (something worth noting is that I really appreciate half-sizes as an option. I often want a taste and not a filling first course) Steamed large shrimp over baby spinach, artichoke hearts, mandarin slices and toasted pine nuts drizzled with tahini tamarind dressing. The shrimp were large and fresh and the salad itself was a nice mix of flavors and textures- especially the fresh mandarin orange wedges and creamy dressing. There was nothing wrong with this salad- but I did not expect that it would be the best part of my meal. Gabriel had the warm mozzarella with tomato sauce started and I was not particularly impressed. This was not fresh, homemade mozzarella from what I could tell- and if it was, they should really take some brush-up lessons from the amazing owners at Mozzarella Fella on Main St. The tomato sauce was fine- but nothing special. The extra bread they brought us after we’d finished the 2 warm rolls they’d allotted us, was cold.
For my entrée, I had the scallops sautéed with cream, Amaretto and almonds with mashed potatoes and an odd spinach/chick pea side. Who puts chick peas with spinach on the side of scallops and mashed potatoes? That was just a very weird choice that really didn’t go with the meal at all. The scallops were fine- the mashed potatoes were good, the spinach side was just nothing but strange. Overall, it’s not that the food was bad, it was just so totally hum-ho, boring, sleepy, uninspired.
For dessert, we shared the lemon souffle and frankly, it was not worth it. I am VERY much a dessert person, so when a dessert makes me say ‘meh’, you know it’s pretty bad. The souffle was denser and wetter than it should have been, the flavor was more bland, than lemony, and the whole thing had nothing at all interesting about it. Just total blah. Let’s go home to have some ice cream instead.
Gabriel and I were aiming for a Thai restaurant in Bradenton that had been recommended to us. Luckily for us, after getting lost trying to find it, we finally arrived to find that it was closed. We did a quick search and found Thai Palace was nearby and had great reviews. Okay, change of plans and off we went!
During lunch, entrees come with either soup or salad. We both opted for the salad and when it arrived, we worried that it would be an indication of the entree portions. The salad consisted of approximately 3 bites of iceburg lettuce, one tomato, a slice of cucumber and a few shreds of carrot. Not exactly enough to take the hunger edge off. The peanut dressing was good, the basic one that is typically found in Thai restaurants, but not exciting enough to make us very optimistic about what was coming next.
When the entrees arrived soon after we finished our minuscule salads, we were pleasantly surprised right away. The presentation was lovely with a beautiful orchid and a fish shaped dish, and the aroma from both dishes was awesome. The pad thai with squid was excellent. I can easily say it was the BEST Pad Thai I’ve had since moving from NYC to Florida, and that alone is worth the 30 minute drive it took to get there. The balance of the salty, sweet, peanut sauce and the fresh sauteed squid couldn’t be better. The creaminess of a light coating of the sauce didn’t overpower or smother the consistency of the noodles. Big yum.
We also shared a delicious Panang Curry with Tofu. The curry sauce was blended with coconut milk and peanuts. The various fresh vegetables included carrot, mushroom, snowwpea, baby corn, bell pepper, celery, and zucchini. This sauce had so much complexity to it and we both couldn’t get enough. We actually ordered a second helping of rice- something that we really never do, because we couldn’t possibly let all of the extra sauce go to waste.
I was VERY happy that the little, boring salads were not at all representative of the abilities of the chef here. Our meal, overall, was far and away the best Thai food we’ve had in a while- and we go out for Thai food frequently. Although the drive is a little far, there is no question that both of us want to go back asap. Bravo Thai Palace! | 2019-04-18T20:23:20 | https://bigforkinmouth.com/tag/gabriel/ |
Vinny Appice says that Ronnie James Dio would be “pissed off” if he was alive to see Gene Simmons attempt to trademark the so-called “devil’s horns” hand gesture.
The late BLACK SABBATH and RAINBOW singer is widely credited with popularizing the symbol — a staple at rock concerts for decades — which the KISS bassist/vocalist filed an application to trademark on June 9, only to abandon it less than two weeks later.
Dio ― who said his Italian grandmother often invoked the horns to ward off the malocchio (the evil eye), bad luck or malevolent spirits ― also took issue with Simmons.
Most music fans have slammed Simmons for the trademark request, saying the symbol has become ubiquitous and means different things to different people. | 2019-04-20T15:18:38 | https://www.metalpaths.com/news/2017/06/25/vinny-appice-says-ronnie-james-dio-pissed-off-saw-gene-simmons-attempt-trademark-horns-hand-gesture/ |

There are plenty of superheroes being featured in top-grossing films these days, but none of them are like political activist Dolores Huerta, whom many consider a real life superhero.
Carlos Santana knew it was time that the world learn more about Huerta, the labor leader who co-founded the National Farmworkers Association (now known as the United Farm Workers) in the 1960s alongside Cesar Chavez.
So the rocker reached out to director Peter Bratt and his production partner and brother Benjamin Bratt with the idea to make a documentary about Huerta.
Little did they know that five years later, with "Dolores" opening at the IFC Theater Center in New York on Friday, Sept. 1, the nation would be needing inspiration from Huerta more than ever.
"When Carlos Santana called and said, 'Let's make a movie about Dolores,' I seized the opportunity," Peter Bratt tells Viva.
"Carlos has known Dolores for a long time and he put a stake in the ground and said, 'We have to make this movie now.' That launched the ship. What we didn't know five years ago when this conversation took place was where we would be politically.
"Anytime would be a great time for us to tell her story," Bratt adds. "But I think right now in particular, we need this story as a country."
The New Mexico-born Huerta, 87, hopes the film will encourage people of color of all ages to stand up for their rights.
"Bringing your children and your nieces and nephews to demonstrations really creates strong, emotional fortitude for the children," says Huerta. "Then they don't have to read about the movement, they can participate and it'll be in their DNA.
Not surprisingly — and given the current political climate in the Age of Trump — Huerta is a strong advocate for using the right to vote to enact change.
"We really need our people to vote," she says. "We have 40% of our people that are not voting, even when they are registered. We have another few million that could register to vote but they don't. We have a few more million that could become citizens that haven't done so yet even though they can have dual citizenship.
"We have power that is being wasted because we are not being involved," she adds. "Nothing is going to change unless we get involved and we change it."
Benjamin Bratt agrees that it's the perfect time for others to be inspired by Huerta and he hopes that by watching this film, it may light a spark in people who may not know just how powerful their voice really is.
He equates Huerta with some of the biggest civil rights leaders in history, yet he feels she hasn't gotten the credit she deserves for her life-long battles for justice on behalf of workers and immigrants.
"Dolores and her story is, if nothing else, inspirational," Bratt says. "She's a true American hero and an icon who is the last of her generation. You can put her up right there with Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert Kennedy and even Gandhi.
"She's not the type of person who stops and waits for praise. She's not in it for praise. She's in it for the compassion and the humanity; that's what drives her. She's in it for the fight for justice for those that don't have it. That's the kind of selflessness that has driven her throughout her entire life." | 2019-04-19T11:53:19 | https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/new-dolores-huerta-documentary-shows-real-life-superhero-article-1.3462046 |

“Thrive” is Kaiser Permanente’s motto. When the organization opened a new medical office in the Southern California desert, it used View Dynamic Glass to solve an intractable problem and create a welcoming environment for visitors and employees.
In the high-desert town of Victorville, 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles, temperatures can range from below freezing to more than 100 degrees. When Kaiser Permanente, one of the largest managed-care organizations in the United States, opened a new medical center in the city, it had to find a way to make its lobby an inviting and workable space.
The eastern facade has floor-to-ceiling vertical windows that not only allowed ample natural daylight into the lobby and reception areas, but also glare and heat. Architects initially considered installing vertical louvers, but realized these would be insufficient because of the eastern-facing orientation of the windows and the angle of the sun’s path.
About 800 square feet of View Dynamic Glass with Intelligence Control was installed. The glass tints automatically by using solar tracking and real-time environmental conditions. Installation of exterior vertical fins provided an aesthetic component, rather than a functional one.
View Dynamic Glass eliminated the heat and glare problems, while maintaining the views and natural light for lobby visitors and Kaiser employees, creating a more pleasant and inviting atmosphere. | 2019-04-20T08:39:07 | https://view.com/portfolio/kaiser-permanente-medical-office/ |
Ultherapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that counteracts the effects of time and gravity on your skin. Ultherapy uses the body’s own regenerative response to gently and gradually lift skin on the eyebrow, neck, face, under the chin, and also smooth lines and wrinkles on the chest. Ultherapy is also the only cosmetic procedure to use ultrasound imaging and the only non-invasive FDA cleared treatment that will actually lift the skin.
How Does Utherapy Skin Tightening Work?
By using an advanced ultrasound imaging display, we are able to locate the bone and tissue under the patient’s skin to let us select the proper energy level to use. You may be able to feel these small energy bits being deposited to the right depths during the treatment, which indicates that the process to rebuild collagen has started. It will usually take between 60 to 90 minutes to go through a face and neck procedure, whereas chest skin tightening will last about 30 minutes.
What Makes Ultherapy 1.5MM Different?
Compared to the standard Ultherapy treatment, the 1.5MM version is intended to treat specific delicate areas of the face such as the eyes and lips including the improvement of the texture and tone of the skin. What makes this similar to the standard version is that it also uses ultrasound energy as a catalyst to produce collagen in the areas of the skin.
There is zero downtime involved when you undergo Ultherapy. Once you’re done with the treatment, your texture may appear flushed, but this redness will eventually subside in a few hours. There might be a little swelling, bruising, tenderness or tingling felt by some patients but these side effects are simply temporary.
Ultherapy requires zero downtime. Immediately after treatment you may appear flushed, but the redness should subside after a few hours. Some patients may experience slight bruising, swelling, tingling, or tenderness, but these side effects are temporary.
Less common post-procedural effects may include bruising or numbness on small areas of the skin.
After going through the Ultherapy treatment, you will start to notice some initial effects right away. The best results will begin to show 2-3 months after the procedure and can potentially improve up until the 6th month.
Most of the patients will only require a single skin tightening treatment and results can last up to one and a half years. Those patients with more skin laxity may benefit more from additional treatments.
Undergoing repeat procedures will ensure long-lasting results and enhanced appearance.
After your Ultherapy treatment, you may see some initial effect, but the best results will be evident in 2-3 months but may continue to improve through the 6th month post treatment.
Most patients only need one treatment with results lasting 1 to 1.5 years. Patients who have a fair amount of skin laxity may benefit from an additional treatment. Repeat procedures produce long lasting results and will enhance your appearance. | 2019-04-26T04:52:16 | https://advanceddermatologymd.com/dermatology/cosmetic/ultherapy-skin-tightening/ |

A few years back, Madison library director Barb Dimick predicted it was only a matter of time before federal agents showed up demanding to see patron lending records, as the 2001 USA Patriot Act allows (Watchdog, "'It's Going to Happen Here,'" 12/27/02).
The law bars librarians from revealing whether they've gotten such requests, so there's no point in asking if this has occurred. But back then Dimick noted that the library's record-keeping system tracked only what was currently on order or checked out; once an item is returned, no record of who borrowed it remains.
Most libraries in the South Central Wisconsin Library System - encompassing a seven-county area, including Madison - are converting to a new LINKcat circulation management system that can record this information.
But Tana Elias, the Madison Library's web resource coordinator, says this function will be "turned off by default" for individual users. It will be available only on request - for those who want to track their library use or aren't worried that Uncle Sam could learn they've been reading Marx again. Only the borrowers themselves and library staff (and, of course, possibly the Feds) can access this information.
"As a public library, we're very concerned about customers' privacy," says Elias, "sometimes more than the customers are." She notes that people commonly share info about what they're reading on social networking sites. "People enjoy it. They like to see what others recommend."
The new system is in its final stages of testing with a planned February launch. Efforts will soon be made to inform users of its capabilities. | 2019-04-19T09:25:11 | https://isthmus.com/news/news/south-central-wisconsin-library-system-launching-new-circulation-software-with-tracking-capabilities/ |

Compared to their modern day counterparts, the aircraft in WOFF are simple affairs and are, by their very nature, reasonably easy to fly, so in terms of pilot assistance, there isn't that much but what there is, is helpful.
An example of this is the map which can be brought up during all phases of flight. The map is extremely useful in that it shows the position of your aircraft, relative to enemy lines. Also included on the map are the locations of friendly and enemy airfields, as well as ground units and other areas of interest. The map also displays your current flight plan with its numerous waypoints. Using another flying aid, this time the autopilot, it's possible for the AI to fly your aircraft to its desired destination. Maybe not that realistic, but certainly helpful, especially when first using WOFF.
The final pilot aid I feel I should mention is that of the time acceleration mode. Aircraft during the First World War were hardly speed demons, so flying from point A to B can sometimes be a tedious affair, and for this, the speeding up of time can come in rather handy if you don't want to 'fly' in real-time.
Having flown the IL-2 series for some time, one of the areas that I thought was done incredible well in that simulator was the damage modelling. Returning from a mission with scraps of wing missing and the fuselage punctured with a scattering of bullet holes really gave you that feeling of reality. WOFF has perfected that feeling of reality; wings are torn off, engines catch fire, and bullets rip the canvas to shreds. All this, but remember, you have no parachute (a swift reminder that sometimes imitation is better than reality!).
Before I talk about the sounds used in WOFF, I think a special mention should be made about the wonderful music score that accompanies WOFF. It has got to be (in my opinion) one of the most beautiful and atmospheric scores I have ever heard in a computer game; BioShock, Oblivion, Call of Duty, just to mention a few, all excel at their music scores and WOFF is no exception. The composer, Matt Milne, has done a superb job at setting the scene, and if you've ever watched Band of Brothers, you'll know exactly what I mean.
Getting back to the sounds used within the game, you will find that, just like the visuals, the sounds add a great deal to the world of WOFF. The sounds of the engines are all there, and differ from one aircraft to the other, and once airborne, you will find that creaks and groans from your aircraft will accompany you on your flight. Wind and rain noise has also been included, as has the sound of flak and bullets.
The AI modelling of friendly and enemy aircraft in WOFF is some of the best I've seen in a flight simulator, as it is prone to both fatigue and moral. This is a great feature, and cleverly done, because if things get too much for your adversary in battle, they will break off the attack and head for home. Preservation is at the heart of the AI, and combat manoeuvres in relation to ground proximity are monitored at all times.
In terms of issues, there were only a few which I think are worth mentioning. The first is in relation to camera views. Maybe it's my setup (or my old age), but I thought the amount of cameras and different view combinations, distracted somewhat from the gameplay.
I also found the absence of a 'mouse look view' (such as 'space and mouse click' in FSX, or 'shift 9' in X-Plane) rather disappointing. If it had been included, it would have added greatly to the accessibility of the sim. I did manage to get my hat switch view working, so as to look around, but for some reason I had to have Scroll Lock on. Apart from the issues mentioned, WOFF performed well, and not once have I had an OOM or CTD.
WOFF is the creation of a small team, and a team which obviously love what they do. Their passion and enthusiasm for their 'baby' is clear to see, and we, as the end user, are the beneficiaries of all that hard work. WOFF also has an active community with forums and user submitted mods. Many of these mods enhance the level of graphical detail seen in WOFF, whilst others add enhancements such as new maps. One of the mods which enhances the visuals of WOFF is the D3D9 Self Shadowing mod which adds dynamic and moving shadows to aircraft interior and exteriors.
The amount of detail which Wings Over Flanders Fields offers to the flight simmer (or should I say historian), is truly exceptional, and to try and sum up WOFF in a short review, is nigh-on impossible.
I hope though, that by writing this review, I can give you an ideas of what WOFF offers. Of course, similarities are going to be made with Rise of Flight (ROF) which, whilst being both fun and enjoyable, does not contain, in my opinion, the depth and longevity of WOFF.
If you've ever wanted to know what it was like for those young brave men to take to the skies, then let Wings Over Flanders Field take you back in time. | 2019-04-19T16:28:46 | https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?14867-Review-Wings-Over-Flanders-Fields/view/4&s=9f5f51cd7658c1b310314245b83659ad |

AMMONNEWS - Jordan said on Sunday 800 people including members of Syria’s “White Helmets” civil defence group had been evacuated from southwest Syria where Damascus’ forces are advancing against rebels, with Israeli officials saying they facilitated the mission.
The Israeli military said that overnight it had completed “a humanitarian effort to rescue members of a Syrian civil organisation and their families ...due to an immediate threat to their lives”.
It said they were transferred to a neighbouring country, which it did not identify.
On Saturday, Israeli security forces closed down roads in the occupied Golan Heights, on the Syrian frontier, ahead of the evacuation operation.
A Jordanian foreign ministry spokesman said the kingdom had allowed the UN to arrange the entry and passage of 800 Syrian civil defence workers. said their lives were in danger after a government offensive that regained rebel-held parts of southern Syria.
The kingdom agreed to a request by Britain, Germany and Canada to give the White Helmet workers temporary asylum in the kingdom before settlement in the West on humanitarian grounds, spokesman Mohammad al Kayed said.
He said the aid workers would remain at a “closed” location and that Britain, Germany and Canada had agreed to resettle them within three months.
Officially called the Syrian Civil Defense but known by their distinctive white helmets, the group has operated a rescue service in rebel-held parts of Syria after aerial bombing of civilian areas. They are credited for saving thousands of lives. | 2019-04-23T08:25:35 | http://en.ammonnews.net/article.aspx?articleno=38493 |
The film draws direct parallels from the text and as a whole reflects Wordsworth’s ruminations concerning innocence and youth. In the third stanza of the poem the narrator is looking upon a lovely natural scene but is overcome by a “thought of grief” (22). The only relief the narrator can find that will restore his strength are the sounds of nature, “The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep;” (25). In the opening scene of the film the young couple is engaged in an intimate moment parked in front of a beautiful waterfall. In this moment, Deanie experiences an apprehension too, she is torn between her sexual desire for Bud and the society’s pressure to maintain her purity till marriage.
In the seventh stanza, of Wordsworth’s poem the narrator is struggling with the idea of conformity. That, as humans, from a young age we begin to imitate the lives of the people surrounding us. In this way, all of our existence is but a copy of someone else’s. The narrator feels that childhood is when we are closes to our true selves, because as we develop into adult, as we form our “philosophic mind,” we are influenced by societal norms of appropriate behavior that puts boundaries on our personalities. Deanie and Bud share a common flaw: they both desire a life that differs from the life their parents want from for them. Bud’s father wants him to make a name for himself through earning a degree from Yale. It is less important to Bud’s father that his son is happy and engaged in academics that will further his understanding of the world, rather it’s the image of a degree from a well to do school that he desires instead. Bud conforms to his father’s wishes, but still yearns for a simpler life as a rancher. Similarly, Deanie’s mother has an image built in her mind of what her daughter ought to be, and that includes a well-off husband and a college experience. While Deanie isn’t opposed to this idea, she isn’t open to marrying for the sake of marrying. She desires a relationship that is passionate and free, where she marries for love rather than reputation.
As Bud becomes overwhelmed by the pressure of his father’s expectations he breaks things off with Deanie. She is not only stunned by his decision but becomes erratic. During class she is asked to read lines from Wordsworth’s Ode, “What though the radiance which was once so bright/ Be now for ever taken from my sight,/ Though nothing can bring back the hour/ Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;/ We will grieve not, rather find/ Strength in what remains behind;” (175-80). In this moment, she is overcome with the sense of loss that the blissful happiness of her relationship with Bud has reached its extent. Deanie is devastated and has a mental break down following this experience. But is the root of her instability the collapse of her relationship, or the realization that the overwhelming feelings induced by a first love, or a first anything are fleeting? That there is only one first of everything and all that follows may just be an imitation of what has already been felt.
This poem and film are narratives of loss and recovery. John K. Mathison states, “The Ode may be considered the representation of the condition of the mind of the poet in a particular reverie on a particular May morning, the reverie being introduced by certain memories stimulated by the beauty of the morning and the realization of a difference between his present and past reaction to nature.” While this true for Wordsworth and the narrator of the poem in relation to nature, it is also true for the characters in Splendour in the Grass. Both Deanie and Bud realize a difference within themselves after their departure and return. It’s not that time revealed a shallowness of their affection, rather what was felt was real but cannot be revisited. This idea is the center of Wordsworth’s Ode and this film is the embodiment of its ideals.

I had no clue that a movie was ever made about Wordsworth’s poetry (that probably wouldn’t fly today). I enjoyed how you showed the linear progression of both the poem and the movie, and how the characters developed as time went on. It was surprising to see that Deanie and Bud did not get together in the end, but maybe that is what Wordsworth would have wanted. Adulthood means being able to reflect on the days of your youth, not change the outcome. This was an interesting read, and I will have to check out the movie now. | 2019-04-26T04:02:06 | https://britlitsurvey2.wordpress.com/2017/04/05/ode-intimations-of-immortality-and-natalie-wood/ |
These black beans are a forever-favourite in our household. They're creamy, rich and full of aromatic flavours. Delicious served up in corn tacos, with cashew cream and spicy vegetables. We normally make a big batch of these beans and store some in the freezer - it's a joy finding them when you're running low on inspiration/ingredients and want to make something quick. We sometimes eat them stuffed inside a roasted sweet potato, or even for breakfast if we feel like something savoury. Like I said, they're a staple recipe for us and we hope you find them just as delicious!
If you haven't discovered black cardamom pods yet, we urge you to go find some! We first smelt them in a little spice shop in Delhi and have been obsessed ever since. They add such an aromatic, smokey flavour and are unlike any other spice we've tried. You can normally find them in asian supermarkets, spice shops or online.
Asafoetida powder is another famous ingredient from India, which has a strong flavour and is similar in properties to garlic. In ayurveda, asafoetida is renowned for aiding digestion and to relieve cramping. It's a common ingredient in bean and lentil dishes in India and it's a must-have in our spice cupboard!
1. Soak the dried beans overnight, then drain and rinse 2/3 times when ready to prepare.
2. Put the drained beans, onion, black cardamon, bay leaves, peppercorns and asafoetida and in a large pan with all of the water.
3. Bring the mixture to the boil and then lower the heat to a simmer, cook for 2-3 hours until the beans are completely soft.
4. When the beans are cooked add the garlic/mustard powder, miso and salt and continue to cook for a final 5-10 minutes. At this point it should be quite thick and creamy, you can help this along by mashing some of the beans with the back of a spoon, or keep cooking slightly longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
What's your favourite way to cook beans? | 2019-04-26T16:05:23 | http://www.putumayokitchen.com/blog/tag/mexican+beans |
The Daily Mail last night published a highly critical article describing the Tories’ election campaign as ‘floundering’.
By this morning however, someone from Tory HQ had obviously had a strong word or two and the article was deleted – replaced with a much more flattering puff piece praising Cameron’s new policy announcements and using the word ‘dull’ to describe his campaign instead.
Obviously, Daily Mail bosses hoped the late night changes wouldn’t have been noticed.
326 MPs minimum threshold for a single party to be able to form the UK government.
With micro parties gaining about 20 votes altogether, plus the single 1 Green MP.
Lib Dems about 50 MPs.
The voter turnout in 2010 was the same as it was in 1918, after the carnage of the first world war had massively reduced male universal suffrage.
The so-called big parties are not bringing out the 75 per cent of the electorate, with more voters not registered to vote as there were in 2010.
Both Tories and Labour won in voting areas where the bulk of voters did not come out to vote.
So with these numbers we face an obvious result of the most severe hung parliament coming from May.
A TORY / LABOUR COALITION.
Maybe this is why Labour keep saying they will not reverse Tory cuts and will not change the last Tory budget.
So that Labour MPs stay in their MP jobs from May.
in a 2 party r.uk system excluding scotland notwithstanding the many who would vote snp r.uk, if they could…lab or tory hobson’s choice imo…the snp will join lab in the vote of confidence to lock the tories out of power, hence the lab increase in polls r.uk imo…the snp have also pledged to rid the HoL’s, worthy of my vote alone….
The funny thing is the link still uses the same original title text, and the comments are still scathing, lol.
David Cameron has about as much oomph!! — or vroom vroom!! — as a half-starved sacred cow standing in an Indian monsoon rain storm, as opposed to Nigel Farage who has more energy than a thunderbolt ….witness his meeting with factory workers in the constituency of Clacton.
The Daily Mail once again shows itself to be the Pravda of the Tory party, where no independent thinking or critical comment is every allowed to tarnish the image of the glorious leader. And this also shows how truly desperate the Tories must be, if they felt that they had to censor the Daily Mail to stop negative publicity.
So Cameron thinks that by saying that “hardworking people” tory for millionaires, will be better off is a vote winner does he?

A global asset manager has urged SMSF investors to carefully consider large allocations to banks, with Australia in the grips of a “debt-charged housing boom” and the banks potentially under-provisioning for bad mortgage debts.
Speaking at the launch of the Lazard Global Equity Franchise Fund, Lazard portfolio manager Warryn Robertson said Australian investors overall have large allocations to banks and resource companies, and warned that these types of companies are not predictable.
“If you stood back 20 years ago and tried to predict what credit growth was going to be in Australia, you would have massively got it wrong. You would have underestimated it and, yes, the banks made a lot of money, [but] there’s no real rationale around which to give those estimates,” Mr Robertson said.
Mr Robertson said most SMSFs, excluding his own, contain Commonwealth Bank shares and are massively allocated to the banks.
He is particularly concerned since Australia has not been in a recession for more than 25 years, which may have led to false confidence among the banks and investors.
“I have never worked in a recession, and that is frightening because you don’t know what it's like. You travel to other countries and you see what economic downturns are like, and it’s a very different world,” he said.
Mr Robertson warned that the banks could be under-provisioning for bad debts because of the lack of recession in the country, and people believe that mortgages are infallible from the bad debt provisions. | 2019-04-25T12:14:53 | https://www.smsfadviser.com/news/13437-smsfs-warned-on-unpredictability-of-banks |
There’s no doubt: basic economy is infuriating. From no carry-on baggage allowance to lack of seat selection, it’s a huge step down from what travelers are used to getting when flying.
The legacy airlines (American, Delta and United) made it seem that basic economy was necessary to compete with low-cost carriers. American even is on record telling its shareholders that it’s matching the LCCs with its basic economy fares, though our data proves otherwise.
Prepare to sit in the middle seats with AA’s basic economy.
American Airlines launched its basic economy fares in February and has rolled out only a few dozen routes since. These fares restrict you from bringing a carry-on bag on board, assign you a seat at check-in (likely a middle seat), aren’t upgradeable, earn fewer elite-qualifying miles/segments, relegate you to the final boarding group (9 of 9) and don’t allow any flight changes or refunds.
Sure enough, those with AA elite status get to maintain their boarding group, checked bag benefits and carry-on allowance. But, what if you don’t have status? Then you can use one of the eligible cards to get an even better boarding group than standard economy, earn back your carry-on bag and get the checked baggage allowance allotted by the credit card.
Extra Cost vs. Basic Economy N/A $20-30/flight Starting at $0 for first year.
Rather than paying $20-30 more per flight for standard economy, you can use a co-branded credit card like the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select to earn back that carry-on bag — and get a free checked bag too. Instead of group 9, you jump the bulk of economy passengers (in groups 6-8) and board in group 5, where you’ve got a great chance of having space in the overhead bins.
You don’t have to pay for your flights with the co-branded card to get these benefits — American Airlines will tie your credit card to your AAdvantage account and apply these benefits automatically. This allows you to use a credit card with better travel protection when booking flights — like the Citi Prestige Card that offers up to $500 of expense reimbursement for delays of over three hours.
The downside of the co-branded card approach: You still don’t get to pick your seat. AA will assign you a seat at check-in, and you’d have to pay to change your seat.
At least with Delta’s basic economy fares, you might be able to snag a window or aisle seat at check-in.
The O.G. of legacy carriers for basic economy is Delta. Launched in February 2012, Delta’s basic economy has the widest network of fares and arguably the least-harsh restrictions. With Delta’s version, you don’t get advanced seat assignments, upgrades or any changes to the flights (after the required 24-hour period). That said, you still get the option to choose your own seats at check-in, and you get a carry-on bag.
But, there are still advantages to getting a co-branded credit card if you’re considering basic economy. While you get a carry-on bag with Delta’s basic economy fare, you’re likely going to have to gate-check it, as you’ll be boarding in the last group. With a co-branded card, you’ll get a free checked bag and priority boarding to have an almost-sure spot in the overhead bins.
Extra Cost over Basic Economy N/A $25-45/flight Starting at $0 for first year.
That’s right: you can get a $95 annual fee (free the first year) credit card — like the Gold Delta SkyMiles card — to avoid first checked bag fees and having to gate-check your bag. As an added bonus, the Gold Delta SkyMiles card is offering 30,000 bonus miles for spending $1,000 in the first three months.
As with American, you don’t have to purchase your ticket with your Delta credit card to get the free checked bag — just having the card and including your Delta SkyMiles number in your reservation is enough.
The downside of going the co-branded card approach? Still no advanced seat selection. However, Delta’s basic economy fares let you change seats at check-in. So, this isn’t as bad as on other legacy carriers.
While you might not be able to select your seat, you can use a co-branded card to board early to get your bag in the overhead bins.
In unofficial polling of the TPG office, we agree that United’s basic economy is the worst. Not only are these fares expanding to more routes, but the fares are also getting absurd. TPG Editor-In-Chief Zach Honig found one basic economy option for $1,172 round-trip — for a 300-mile flight.
And what do you get with United’s basic economy? Not much: auto-assigned seat at check-in (with no chance to change), no carry-on bags, no elite-qualifying credit, no upgrades and no changes/refunds.
But, a United co-branded card can help ease some pain. Like on American and Delta, you’ll jump from the last boarding group to one of the first. And, you’ll earn back a carry-on bag and get a first free checked bag — or two with certain cards.
Extra Cost over Basic Economy N/A $15-25/flight Starting at $0 for first year.
However, it’s important to note that you need to use your co-branded United card to book flights in order to get the checked baggage allowance.
Unfortunately, the co-branded card approach isn’t going to let you select a better seat, get upgrades or earn any elite-qualifying credit.
Now that basic economy fares have spread from Delta to American and United, this is something that all legacy airline travelers have to be wary of. Thankfully, using an airline co-branded card can ease some of the pain of these basic economy fares.
If you like to carry on a bag — and not have to gate-check it — and get a free checked bag as well, all you need is to get a co-branded card and buy the cheapest fare. Thanks to priority boarding benefits, you’ll get access to the overhead bins before those without a co-branded card but who paid extra for standard economy.
However, co-branded cards can’t overcome some of the other issues with basic economy: lack of assigned seating (until check-in for Delta), lack of upgrades and reduced/eliminated elite-qualifying earning. However, if you don’t mind these, the basic economy + co-branded card strategy could work for you.
This story has been updated to correct Delta’s requirements — you do not need to book your flight with your Delta credit card to get a free checked bag. You only need to be a Delta cardholder and have your Delta SkyMiles number in your reservation. | 2019-04-23T20:18:34 | https://thepointsguy.com/2017/06/credit-cards-defeat-basic-economy/ |

Rudzy Thomas is currently undertaking a Level 2 Apprenticeship in Plumbing at SGS College. Working with employer NKS, the 19 year olds main duties are centred around disability adaptations, something which he thoroughly enjoys.
Rudzy has been at SGS for nearly 4 years now starting off with a Route 16 course in 2011 after not getting on well at school and leaving early. He progressed to a full time level 1 Plumbing course where he began to flourish and then went on to the Level 2 the following year.
In 2014 Rudzy started to work with NKS as a labourer which was demanding but he enjoyed it. After a year the employer was so impressed with him they asked if he wanted to undertake an apprenticeship which commenced in September 2015.
25-year-old Alex Eden from Yate, started an Apprenticeship in Business Administration in the summer of 2013.
Alex, who studies and works at SGS College’s Filton Campus, works within the College’s Suited Booted Recruited (SBR) team, which provides tailored courses that help people get back into employment.
Since starting her apprenticeship at the College Alex has completed the level 2 and 3 qualification and has now gained full time employment as a Traineeship Co-Ordinator.
Eric, 20, from Downend, joined the council in the role of Economic Development Officer as part of his Business Administration apprenticeship.
Eric says: “I found out about the apprenticeship scheme on the council’s website and applied via www.apprenticeships.org.uk. I really wanted to do an apprenticeship as I believe they are an excellent way to get work experience, as well as a widely recognised qualification.
“I’m fitting in well. Everyone I’ve met has been very friendly and welcoming. All the members of the economic development team, and colleagues across the council, have made themselves readily available to help me if I have any questions.
“In my first week I learnt the initial processes for planning an event in the community, our intranet, learning e-module and policies and Abdul (Choudhury) has given me an insight into the Enterprise areas and inward investment. I have also started to become involved with granting film permits.
“I am looking forward to becoming a valuable member of the team, and obtaining good work experience which will improve my career prospects and increase my employability.
Alice joined the council in March as a FOI & Complaints Support Officer as part of her current studies to gain a Level 2 Business Administration qualification.
Alice is from Kingswood and her role is based in the Customer and Transactional Services division, in the Civic Centre.
Alice said: “I heard about the apprenticeship scheme via the apprenticeship website www.apprenticeships.org.uk and was really interested in what it had to offer. I’ve settled in really well – I was a bit nervous at first but the team are great and there is plenty of work to do and I’m happy to have been able to jump straight into my role.
“In my first week I supported the team by dealing with varied customer enquiries including the new garden waste arrangements. I am now moving onto handling and recording customer feedback.
Jamie-Renée Cooke, 21, started her apprenticeship with South Gloucestershire Council last year. She is undertaking a Level 4 leadership and management course with South Gloucestershire and Stroud College (SGS).
Jamie works in the Economic Development Team at the council offices in Yate. The team is responsible for promoting South Gloucestershire and the West of England to the business community and encouraging new business to invest in the region.
Jamie explains: ‘I didn't want to go to university, because I knew it wasn't for me, but I wanted to continue to learn, so the apprenticeship seemed to be the perfect option.
‘Whilst working and learning new skills at South Gloucestershire Council, I also attend college one morning a week studying for the Institute in Leadership and Management at Level 4.
‘For me it gives me fantastic on the job experience alongside the qualifications which will help me to progress my career. I enjoy the combination of work and studying that an apprenticeship offers. The support I have from fellow colleagues is brilliant and no two days are the same.
Jamie secured a permanent role with the council last year when she began her Level 4 higher apprenticeship, having already passed a Level 3 advanced apprenticeship in Business Administration the previous year, working for a partner organisation.
George Kousouros, Community Enterprise Officer and Jamie’s line manager said: ‘Apprenticeships are very rewarding for both the employees and the employer.
‘For us it is fantastic to have enthusiastic young people to join the teams to offer help, support and fresh ideas.
23-year-old Rosie Pickering from Thornbury began an Advanced Apprenticeship in Customer Services at South Gloucestershire Council’s Customer Contact Centre last year and after successfully completing her apprenticeship she has now been appointed as a full time Customer Care Officer.
“One of the best aspects of a Customer Service Apprenticeship is that whilst I faced new challenges, I learned new skills that can be applied to any job the future may hold," she added.
Our Head of Street Care Mark King, who started out as an apprentice, has given his backing to the scheme. After leaving school, Mark got a job as an apprentice tool maker at a factory in the West Midlands.
Mark helped to recruit Adam Williams, 18, from Yate who started a three year mechanics apprenticeship at our Broad Lane depot.
Adam said: “I was interested in doing an apprenticeship because its more ‘hands on’ and I learn better when I’m doing the job.
"My mum also works for the council and she went about finding out more about what apprenticeship opportunities were available. I was lucky enough to complete a weeks work experience here not that long ago so I had an idea of what to expect.
"I really do enjoy it. I enjoy the variety of the apprenticeship role. I am learning and meeting new friends both in the workshop and at college. I have recently learnt about basic mechanics and health and safety.
"Every six weeks I attend college for a week so I’ll complete my maths and English functional skills as part of the apprenticeship. So I get the best of both worlds – learning at college and learning doing a paid job.
"Everyone is really friendly at the depot and are always there to help me in the workplace. I have a manager who I speak to each day and helps me out with everyday things but all my work colleagues are very approachable and I am not afraid to ask them about anything. I also get one-to-one support from colleagues. I’m given helpful feedback on my performance and on the jobs I’ve completed. This makes me feel like I’m really part of the team and all working together.
"In the future I would like to be a qualified mechanic and ideally running my own garage. I’m really enjoying the apprenticeship and would definitely recommend it." | 2019-04-25T20:21:53 | http://stroud.ac.uk/apprenticeship-case-studies/ |

Today’s consumers are urban, connected, empowered, and looking for transparency. Understanding them allows companies to meet their expectations and gain their loyalty.
Today, 55% of world’s population lives in urban areas. By 2050, that number is expected to grow to 68% with 60% of that growth coming from 600 cities. With this growing, urban, middle-class consumer comes new expectations for real-time, digitally-connected experiences that make use of the various digital devices in their lives. They understand that humans are using up resources at a rate 50% faster than they can be restored by nature and, thus, are demanding sustainable products that are resource neutral. And finally, they are far more product-educated than in the past and require a deep degree of personalisation. Whether it is exploring options, searching for a specific product, or creating something personalised; the New Consumer demands an easy, yet engaging brand experience that meets the needs of their new lifestyle.
The New Consumer creates massive amounts of data. Whether it is real-time health monitoring from a wearable smart device, or home automation information such as temperature and lighting levels from a connected IoT device, consumer data is everywhere. Building new devices to capture this data and making use of existing data to create new product categories will be at the core of future innovation efforts. With 80% of consumers expecting to be using personalised products by 2030, making use of consumer insights while accelerating product creation through the use of 3D design methodologies will allow brands to create innovative, consumer-centred products for less cost and in less time.
Innovative solutions for the Home Furniture, Kitchen and Bathroom Equipment, Small Appliances, DIY and Garden Tools, and Office and Professional Furniture industry that drive design flexibility combined with intelligent supply chain optimisation.

The emergence of new business models and practices are transforming the industry from mass merchandising to customised products and personalised experiences.
A quickly changing world is creating new opportunities for the Home & Lifestyle industry. Companies are thinking different about the products and services they offer. New ideas such as the sharing economy, app-based services, and smart devices are changing how we sell. This also means that barriers to entry are vanishing and start-ups can compete directly with large, established businesses. Companies that used to think only about their own business are now partnering with competitors to create industry standards for driving change such as in sustainability and data sharing. This new world is dynamic, requiring Home & Lifestyle companies to transform their practices and adopt new ways of thinking about products, services, and their supply chain. The focus will be creating a consumer-driven economy that creates a personalised, connected, experience unique to each individual.
Competing in the new market means thinking differently about traditional business practices. This might mean looking at selling food, for instance, on a subscription basis rather than a traditional, individually-based selling model. It might also mean moving from a large-footprint retail store to an agile pop-up store or e-commerce model. Brands, manufacturers and retailers must create a business model that places the consumer at the centre of their thinking and provides them with connected products designed for their specific needs. This approach will allow companies to be part of the environment of personal experience; an environment where products, brands and retailers, all work together to delight and simplify the life of every consumer. | 2019-04-22T20:01:43 | http://memko.com.au/memko-systems/industries/home-lifestyle |
How do ActionSprout Accounts work?
How you can manage Facebook Pages, teams, and subscriptions, all under one ActionSprout login.
Wondering how ActionSprout accounts work? Have multiple Facebook Pages you manage, contribute to, or have different budgets and teams for?
Well, you're in luck! With a single ActionSprout login, you can manage an unlimited number of Facebook Pages. Then, for each of those connected Pages, you can have an unlimited number of team members. Lastly, for each connected Facebook Page, you'll choose a pricing plan and payment method.
You can invite others to help you manage particular Pages on a Page by Page basis.
I manage multiple Facebook pages through ActionSprout, and several people help me operate each of those Pages.
Your teammates will each have their own ActionSprout login and personal settings, just as they have their own personal Facebook accounts. They’ll likely have access to Facebook Pages that you don’t, too, and vice versa.
With both ActionSprout and Facebook, you have just one login to access your personal profile, and then you can create (or receive permission to help manage) an unlimited number of Facebook pages via that original personal profile.
ActionSprout honors whatever Facebook Page permissions you’ve already set. For example, if you’ve given a teammate access to a certain Facebook page, but you’ve indicated they don’t have a high enough role to publish content on it, then they won’t be able to publish content on that page via ActionSprout either.
Likewise, only admins or editors of a particular Facebook Page will be able to connect the page to ActionSprout to manage it.
This helps protect organizations from well-meaning volunteers or staff members eager to create accounts on your organization’s behalf, without your knowledge. It’s fine if they want to create those pages, but they should check with you first, as you and your team would ultimately be in charge of managing such offshoots.
All the Facebook pages that you connect to ActionSprout start on our Free Forever plan. You will never be charged a penny on this plan, nor will we pressure you to upgrade. If or when you do decide to upgrade to a paid account, that upgrade will only apply to that one Facebook Page. If you have other Facebook Pages, those would need to be upgraded and billed separately.
The nice thing about this is that different teams can use different payment methods and select the plan that’s best for them. It also ensures that you only pay for what you need and nothing else, on a per-page basis.
If you look back at that first image above, you’ll see that two of my pages are on a Gold plan, while one is on a Silver plan. Every team will have their own needs and funds, right? So it would be silly to pay extra for my “Save the Honey Bee” page, for instance, when it doesn’t need the Gold plan features that the other two causes do.
Login or sign up and start using ActionSprout. | 2019-04-25T18:44:46 | http://actionsprout.help/your-actionsprout-account/understanding-your-account/how-do-actionsprout-accounts-work |

This Saturday Bridlington Town face a difficult trip to NCEL Premier Division promotion-chasers Pontefract.
The original reverse fixture at Queensgate in September was abandoned five minutes into the second half because of fog with the visitors leading 1-0.
When it was replayed two months later Pontefract went away with all three points from a 3-1 win against 10 men following Brett Agnew’s dismissal.
Saturday’s match is followed on Wednesday with a home game against Athersley.
Town’s table-topping Reserve side also have an away game against second placed Hull United and the 3rds make it a trio of away games with a visit to third-placed Hodgson AFC. | 2019-04-22T11:08:57 | https://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/bridlington-town-teams-face-tough-away-tests-1-9075094 |

The team was selected by a team of experts which included former cricketers Ian Bishop, Anjum Chopra and Ebony Rainford-Brent, journalist Melinda Farrell and ICC’s General Manager – Cricket, Geoff Allardice.
Apart from three Indians, the team comprises of three English players, two Australians, and one player each from Bangladesh, New Zealand, Pakistan and Windies.

The Autobots' leader is the biggest, strongest, and smartest. Optimus Prime makes the plans and protects the humans in the war with the Decepticons. You wouldn't call Optimus Prime cuddly, but he does care. He's just seen a lot of battles ... and he knows there are more to come.
This giant is the muscle of the Autobots. But Bulkhead's actually sensitive - as Miko learns when she makes friends with him. When Miko's in danger, Bulkhead's there to protect her.
He's the Autobot who's been on Earth the longest. So he knows humans best. Bumblebee's voicebox was damaged on Cybertron, so he "talks" in bleeps and blurts.
This emergency medical truck is the Autobots' medic. Ratchet fixes limbs and gears, and he doesn't want the Autobots risking their necks to protect humans, or bringing them into the secret base. Deep down, though, Ratchet admires what the humans bring to the fight.
The head of the Decepticons is just as bad as the Autobots' leader is good. Whether in alien fighter jet form or robot mode, Megatron's the most evil and deadly of all the Transformers. He hates how much Optimus Prime cares about Earth, and won't stop until he defeats the Autobots and makes this planet his own. | 2019-04-26T01:44:37 | https://www.cartoonnetwork.com.au/show/transformers-prime |

For a book lover there is absolutely no place better to spend a day than a well-stocked bookstore, except maybe a warehouse full of books. Having that many books around you at once is pure bliss, and the buildings that house it all open just six times a year.
Behold! The Green Valley Book Fair!
Yes, I know. It doesn't look like much, but trust me when I say it's awesome. (There is another whole warehouse sized building to the right there.) It's located in western Virginia, and there is a cow pasture next door. However, they have a little bit of everything and advertise over 500,000 unique titles per opening. It's a danger zone for any voracious reader with a little cash to spare.
It's a little over an hour and a half drive to the Book Fair from my house but it's well worth it, so this past Wednesday I hopped in the car and headed out. I know you're shocked. Me? Drive? Noooooo.
I normally go on the first day of the fair because the selection is larger. They still had plenty of stuff though. See?
I left with two giant bags of books. It wasn't the most I've ever come away with, but it was a good haul. I also found something else cool and I bought one to give away to one lucky reader. It's a "got books?" hoodie!
They only had one color, and, despite the picture messing up the color a little, it is pretty. It's like a goldenrod yellow and it's size XL. (A small XL.) Just fill out the form below and enter for your chance to win. You want this hoodie as part of your bookish wardrobe!
Wow! I wish I could go. It's a little to far for me though. I hope you got some great deals.
I was there yesterday for the first time and I was in heaven. I spent over an hour in the YA aisle, it was amazing. So many books at awesome prices. I picked up so many that are on my wishlist and I got some for giveaways too. I will definitely be going back, but my wallet needs to recover first. Oh and I got the purple Got Books shirt too. So fun! | 2019-04-26T00:53:52 | http://www.wastepaperprose.com/2011/04/when-book-fair-comes-to-town.html |

HealthDay News — The inflammatory adipokine leptin may have a mediating effect on the relationship between body weight and knee osteoarthritis (OA) in older adults, according to research published in the January issue of Arthritis & Rheumatology.
Angela Fowler-Brown, MD, MPH, of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and colleagues analyzed baseline data for 653 participants, aged 70 years or older, enrolled in the population-based Maintenance of Balance, Independent Living, Intellect, and Zest in the Elderly Boston Study. The effect of leptin on the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and knee OA was assessed.
The researchers found that the prevalence of knee OA among the participants was 24.7%; average BMI was 27.5 kg/m² and average leptin level was 589 pM. A 5 kg/m² increase in BMI was associated with a 32% increase in risk of knee OA. A 200 pM increase in serum leptin levels was associated with an 11 percent increase in risk of knee OA. Calculations of the ratio of the standardized coefficients for the indirect:total effect using the product-of-coefficients method indicate that about one-half of the total effect of BMI on knee OA may be mediated by the serum leptin level. Estimates of the 95 percent confidence intervals for this effect and mediation analysis suggest that the leptin effect on the relationship between BMI and knee OA may be statistically significant.
“We found that almost half of the association between elevated BMI and knee OA could be explained by the inflammatory adipokine leptin,” the authors write.

These headless piggies are on show at spring in DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) in Brooklyn. They are Richard Saja’s ProtoBolsters, sewn from leftover fabric swatches and stuffed with plant-based fibres.
They are part of spring’s exhibit, ‘The Revolution Is Set: bring it to the table’, whose centrepiece is a trestle-table spanning the length of the gallery, with thought-provoking designs at each place setting.
Owners Anna Cosentino and Steve Butcher see their gallery as a place to create and display new ideas that will make people think about what they use, and how they use it. Many of the pieces find new uses for old materials, like Inna Alesina’s stools, made out of egg crates.
And Gesine Hackenberg’s spoons cut from broken antique Japanese imari plates.
Patrick Weder’s sleek credenza of walnut and surrell has a built-in spot for a plant.
And those striking glass vessels are designed by Tord Boontje and Emma Woffenden and made by Guatemalan cratfsmen. They are a collaboration between Artecnica and Aid to Artisans.
Steve and Anna often work with designers to develop products that ultimately land up in their store. The exhibits give them the latitude to find never-ending threads between wildly different objects. If you’re ever in the neighborhood, stop by and ask them to tell you about the pieces – Steve makes a really good tour guide. | 2019-04-19T09:32:01 | https://elledecoration.co.za/report-from-nyc-the-table-is-set/ |

I feel like everyone is writing and talking about their weight and others perceptions lately. Honestly, I never have really paid much attention to them. I currently wear the same size jeans I wore in 2002, size 27. I have always been addicted to working out, and always just had my own style.
Well that has changed since moving to Australia. Josh and I have commented on more than one occasion that we feel like the Jolly Green Giant in this country. We feel like the out of shape person looking at all these people who could be swimsuit models.
I was told at the Dr. office the other day, "With your size, we really need to up your medicine."
The way of life is different here, I will give them that. Eating healthy is cheaper than eating processed. Which is totally backwards than eating in the states.
Walking is also very common, where in the states we will just hop in our car and not think anything about it, just going a block down the road. I am just as guilty of this, I drove my car a block to high school every day, a block....really.
Another thing that has really made me self conscious in Australia is everyone as a whole dresses up more. You never see anyone in a t-shirt and jeans. One day I had to run to the store, I had someone say, "So where in America are you from?" I hadn't even open my mouth yet.
I responded with, " How did you know I was American?"
"Your clothes, we don't dress that way." This made me think I should dress up more, and try to be Australian.
I am not saying this to complain about Australia, I truly love it here. I am giving you background as to why I picked up this book.
At an early age we are taught to really care about people's perception. I am guilty of this also, how many times do we tell a little girl, "You look so pretty. I love your dress. You look beautiful in that bow." We need to change this to help kids learn to look inside for their beauty.
Instead we (me included) need to start looking for things from the inside. "Oh, you are so sweet for picking up my pen for me." "Oh, that was such a good choice to choose the healthy snack." (I know those compliments are lame, but I am trying).
This book really changed how I think about things. I wanted to share it with you. Clothes in Australia are sized different. In the states I would wear a size 4 here I would wear a size 6 or size 8.
I have not tried shopping yet, because I do not want to jump sizes. I am also trying to go as long as possible without buying clothes, after selling so much in the States. This book talks about how they get sizes. "Fit is cultural, size is industrial." That is something to remember. They just want to sell clothes.
When we go shopping we are often discouraged by the people working at the counter, this book talks about how they are just there to sell clothes, you would think that they are going to be honest with what really looks good, but at the end of the day, they just want you to walk out with the clothes in your possession. Make a rule, never ask a person at the counter, "Does this look good?"
I thought that it was interesting in this book, it talks about fashion writers who go to all of these shows to give reviews. They can not give their honest opinion at all. It told story after story about fashion writers who had given a bad review and "punished" for giving bad publicity. They were not invited back to an event for that company, or made to sit in the back row. Do not read this stuff. Again, they are there to make money, not to make you feel good.
I bought something off amazon before I left the states. I left an honest review of the product on amazon. Within hours of leaving a not so positive review, I had two emails from the seller offering me $5.00 to change my review. If they will do this just over an amazon review think about what they will do for a bad magazine review.
Get clothes because it fits you well, you feel good in it, and because you want the clothes, don't look at the size or the reviews.
"Fashion does not love your body. It does not care about the jeans that cut into your soft flesh, you skirts that ride up, your trouser legs that are too short or long, your shoes that pinch and burn, shirts that gape and straps that slip off. The closest fashion comes to caring about clothing is like when a model falls over on the runway, or suffers a wardrobe malfunction. (p.49)"
One company in Australia actually did research a couple of years ago. They trashed what they were doing with fashion. They gave a survey and measured 5,000 women and 5,000 men to find out what they wanted, and their fits to help create their products. Their profits jumped 84% the next year.
We need to start looking inside and asking, "what makes us feel good?" "What do we feel fits us?"
After finishing this book all I could think about was a letter Cali Watts gave me when we were in college. I was going through some stuff, and she handed it to me after cheerleading practice one day. I have kept it in my Bible ever since.
I made her..she is different.
I fashioned her with great joy.
the day I created her.
I love to hear her laugh.
And the silly things she says and does.
She brings Me great pleasures.
This is how I made her.
in her that would make her beautiful.
would draw friends to her.
I made her in such a way.
she would like to be.
to learn and depend on Me.
and forget Me, her Creator.
I have seen her broken heart.
And the tears she's cried alone.
I have cried with her.
And had a broken heart, too.
Many times she has stumbled and fallen alone.
would not hold My Hand.
Only to watch her return to My arms.
An now she is Mine again.
I made her, and then I bought her.
I have to reshape and remind her.
This high goal I have set for her.
Now, I put this poem in here not to say do not worry about your body. Your body is a temple, being healthy is one thing.
I put this in here to say, " Always be true to you, no matter the circumstance; when you choose clothes, your attitude, how you carry yourself, and do not let others views mess with your style.
Who cares the size, the fit, the look, as long as you personally look and feel beautiful.
BE YOU! There are a lot of people in the world trying to be someone else. No one can be you as perfect as you are you.
I needed this today - thanks!
I hope you are loving your adventure!
Terri, yes we are loving it here. It is a great place to explore. Glad you enjoyed the post. | 2019-04-20T17:21:27 | https://www.eatallovertheworld.com/eat-all-over-the-world/love-you |

Created by millennial fashion designer and activist Emily Bell, EVB donates 20 percent of its proceeds from every purchase towards a charity of the consumer’s choice. When it comes to deciding whether to buy clothing, accessories or shoes, there’s plenty to consider about style, color, quality, and price. Yet, there is one aspect that most consumers rarely factor into their buying decisions: the working conditions of those people who are producing the clothing.
Many of today’s largest fashion brands outsource their manufacturing to countries where factory workers are effectively treated as slave labor, subject to physical and sexual abuse as well as unsafe and unsanitary working conditions. In order to provide consumers with an alternative to supporting companies that place corporate greed above basic human rights for all and the environment, Boston-based fashion designer, activist, and entrepreneur Emily Bell decided to launch EMILYVSBEAR, a luxury American-made fashion brand. All of the EMILY VS BEAR pieces are made with a focus on sustainable practices.

Every few years we corral a new crop of Orikinds. We head out to the lava glass fields and watch all the supplicant Orikinds strut. They preen, with fiercely pointed feathers, and pull full throated up to scream their lustful mating calls into the red river of air. The thunder of their hooves shakes into our legs as they line up for viewing, nudge each other at the shoulder, squirrel into their Sunday hats and lick flat the helots on their backs.
We praise ourselves for having the best penned herd of Orikinds there are. Others try, but we cite our rules for Orikind selection, our ways of discernment, our baskets of unending knowledge.
There are all feather of Orikind: the meek, the modest, the braggart, the shrill, the overblown, the reserved. Orikinds are not one species, but more of a genus. They come in varying shapes and sizes and colors and temperaments. They can at times be Sunday social pleasant, at other times randomly cruel and destructive. You can usually tell early on what sort of Orikind you have, but you need to look closely: watch the feints and subtle moves of the Orikind, not be fooled when he drops his head to the side and coos, or rears on back legs, spreads his wings, and shouts his allegiance. An Orikind in a tie is not necessarily any smarter or well behaved than an Orikind wearing knee socks. Every Orikind has both its public and its private face, and you want to know what it will do when nudged or when left alone to dig its warren or when expected to supply the final notes of the journeyman's orison.
All the town is allowed, but not mandated, to gather to select the Orikinds for any scheduled measure's collection. Nearly everyone is enfranchised, no matter their knowledge of Orikinds or understanding of why we keep such a quarrelsome and large breasted congress of them. We select our herd from the wild by a show of hands. Some years, together we name a model Orikind: one that will be, ostensibly, the leader of our penned pack; that will have the most strutting space and be allowed to make the loudest sounds; who will decide where the new warrens will be; and represent to us, when we prefer to be simple minded, the entire Orikind pack.
The years of those special elections, the townspeople fall out in wagon loads, lining up like elfin armor against troll poetry, to opt for the biggest, most beautiful, most authoritative Orikind. In those years, the salted selection process is quite different than in the drab others. The banners are higher, the sound of the butte horns is louder. Advocates roam the streets. More townspeople are interested, more townspeople shake themselves out of their day-to-day ennui and come out to the plains to watch the Orikinds mill aimlessly about, pick at small items, squawk their horrible songs at one another. Every year the crowd is bombastically ill-informed, but in those special years the electorate is more speckled with the well meaning, with an honesty of public purpose. What they know about Orikinds can be held in a thimble, but there are more amongst this choosing mass without predisposition.
Years that we do not seek that emblematic Orikind are different. With those commissions, only the townspeople who have some fiery strange love of Orikinds come out. They have particular, often unpopular and angry, ideas about how our Orikind herd should be composed. Too many of these townsfolk have the feral drive of their wickedness propelling them. Some have a horror in their hearts that herds them slack jawed to the selection process: a need in their own dark, inner Orikind that knows release only in the twisting of the public herd. Those years the loudest squawkers are in vogue; those that are most ready to use their hind claws for minor offense; those with the most redolent plumage; and with the most irregular stones in their inelegant gizzards. The Orikinds that will bully themselves to the head of the viewing stand, even if they offer nothing unusual to view, will get the elaborately constructed favor of the small glass-eyed and disrepresentative crowd.
The presence of those who come out in more widely enfranchised selections, with the hope of naming one primary Orikind, is missed at these times, and the character of the herd swerves to the template favored by those whose lives seem wrapped up in Orikinds, or in the senseless things that Orikinds can do. No one knows why the great mass of townspeople will not come out when there is no single unifying Orikind supremacy to establish. They do the town and the herd no favor by standing back. All the years between chief Orikind selections they harbor their doubts and worries, but they do not come out, and smaller, more driven revenge seeking minds prevail.
With these off year herds, it is hard not to blame the herd itself for its volume of shed feathers, its plenitude of circular warrens, its endless braying and chest basting. I have no sympathy as they sometimes pluck each other's eyes out, wrap their hind tentacles around each other's throats and make the sound of children bested by wild dogs. But I try to remember, it is our inability to select, to understand Orikind biology and take the interest necessary to keep it in check, to come to each and every selection process and apply the hand of moderation, that creates this enflamed circus of Orikind cross purpose.
Thank Ezra we keep them penned. | 2019-04-25T02:24:32 | http://menacinghedge.com/fall2011/entry-poyner.php |

You can get Yuffie in your party during any disc. If you're in Disc 1 and are riding around in the Buggy, that will work too. The two places that she appears the most often are the forests beyond the Gold Saucer (in the Gongaga Area), and most forests in the Junon Area. After a few battles you'll fight Yuffie. The battle is easy so don't worry about it.
After this she's on you team and you can name her whatever you want.
The second hidden character in the game, Vincent can also join your party during any disc. You'll need the gold key from the safe in Nivelheim's SHINRA Mansion. Go down to the cavern leading to Sephiroth's library (it's in the SHINRA Mansion, the entrance is in the stone wall in the eastern wing). Remember the door to the crypt you couldn't get through? You can now enter it. Stand at the foot of the purple coffin and hit "O". The lid will fly off and Vincent will talk to you. Choose the bottom reply when he asks you a question. When the coffin closes, press "O" again. Choose the second (bottom) reply when Vincent poses another question, and you can name him. Then try to leave the cavern and he'll join you. | 2019-04-26T14:40:42 | https://squareinsider.com/guides/36/hidden-characters |
