"I know of no higher fortitude than stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds."
Over time, success has its own challenges. It can, at times, feel like a Sisyphean endeavor. When times like this arise, it becomes crucial to endure, take care of oneself, and patiently allow the troubled times to pass.
I would recommend that you work on recovery, healing, and courage during this time of trials and tribulations. Your journey isn't over yet, so you don't want to get burned out.
Thus, as you endure, I suggest taking mundane steps too. Take care of your physical and emotional well-being.
On a personal note, this is a favorite card of mine, as it comes up frequently, and in different ways. Being strong isn't about being able to lift a heavy load once, but rather being able to lift that load and continue doing so. We've all seen the athlete whose in for a sprint, but ducks out of a marathon....life is a marathon, and while you might be permitted to lay down your load from time to time, that is not a common thing.
So when the going gets you down, find something that acts as a liniment for your soul, a shelter from the storm, and a source of peace. | 2019-04-25T04:08:15 | https://www.sorcerousendeavors.com/sorcery-blog/category/selfimprovement |

I was a little hesitant about this one, particularly because apple blends (particularly any kind of sour apple) are typically not for me. But the apple is tempered very nicely by some mellower, sweeter candy notes. It's never enough to pucker up your face, and stays interesting enough to keep refilling again and again. Plus that label is on point AF.
I was highly disappointed with this juice. All the reviews go on & on about how it's "the best green apple vape" but I couldn't taste any apple at all. The taste was a very mild bubble gum flavor. Buzzkill. Liked the packaging. Very cool tube concept.
The first time I had this juice, it was a rather harsh vape. Second time around, five stars. Smooth vape, amazing sour green apple flavor. I love it! It didn’t come in a glass or standard plastic bottle, but like a tube. Different for sure, but I like it.
This has to be my new favorite apple flavor e juice. Light, crisp, with a perfect balance of sour and sweet. It totally reminds me of green Jolly Ranchers. Great clouds with practically no throat hit at all. I recommend this to anybody. | 2019-04-25T08:14:28 | https://www.zamplebox.com/e-juice/taffy-man-b1g-apl |

Charlie Nicholas says the arrival of Alexis Sanchez has spoiled Manchester United’s system and he must be dropped following their Champions League exit.
Jose Mourinho’s side lost 2-1 at home to Sevilla on Tuesday eveningto exit the Champions League at the last-16 stage, meaning the FA Cup is now their only realistic chance of a trophy this season.
He said: “At the start of the season, Manchester United had a fluency to them. Paul Pogba played high up with Jesse Lingard behind him and Romelu Lukaku on his game.
“All of a sudden Sanchez comes, Marcus Rashford gets dropped out and Anthony Martial gets moved over. All of a sudden the whole team is getting squeezed to fit Sanchez in.
“Sanchez, at the moment, does not deserve to be in the team. It’s too individual. He is giving the ball away too often.
“He looks as though he is trying hard, but this is Manchester United and you’ve got to deliver on a game-by-game basis and he is not.
Rashford scored twice against Liverpool in a 2-1 win at the weekend, but was moved over to the right against Sevilla and Nicholas feels that was a mistake.
He added: “Rashford started on the right when his success at the weekend was on the left and that was to accommodate Sanchez.
“It just doesn’t seem that it’s functional. There’s no fluency and there’s no rhythm to the team.
“Because of that, individuals are trying to look after themselves – and that puts pressure on the back four. They’ve got the best keeper in [David de Gea] the world and now he looks frustrated because he is getting isolated.
“It felt like a matter of time before Seville would go and score.
United trail Manchester City by 16 points in the Premier League, but face Brighton in the quarter-final of the FA Cup on Saturday.
After winning the EFL Cup and the Europa League last term, there is now a risk Mourinho’s second season in charge could end without silverware.
Nicholas added: “They did not justify being anywhere close to the last eight of the Champions League. They are not going to get the title and now have got the FA Cup to play for. | 2019-04-26T10:46:22 | https://puoreports.ng/2018/03/14/nicholas-sanchez-must-be-dropped/ |

The 2004 Prius is now so popular that it’s back-ordered by months in the United States, even as Toyota has boosted target production for the U.S. market by more than 30%.
But what exactly does the Prius -- Motortrend’s Car of the Year -- really represent? Come closer, my eager eco-disciple -- you seek to know the Tao of Prius. I will tell you of this new tao, the Chinese word for “path” or “way”: Toyota’s iconic hybrid sedan teaches us an important lesson about the marketing of greener technologies and the limits of consumer commitment to a better world.
With the original 1997 Prius firmly established as the premier example of hybrid technology, the company had reached a fork in the road: shoot for zero-emission status with subsequent models or aim to make the hybrid-technology compromise more widely accepted by the mainstream consumer. On the one hand, the company could aim to secure eco-vehicle status for the Prius: leave the unconventional and (by today’s standards) smallish frame untouched, while applying its entire budget for research and development into better mileage and lower emissions. On the other hand, the company could maintain the Prius’ current, lighter shade of green performance, instead focusing entirely on power, size and the other amenities that seem to sell big.
In navigating between these two extremes, Toyota’s 2004 release surely demonstrates Yogi Berra’s famous have-it-all dictum: “When you reach a fork in the road, take it.” Instead of forging ahead in a single direction, the company made modest improvements in all areas. Toyota took its original hybrid sedan and made it six inches longer, gave it more interior room, and boosted its acceleration, all while improving mileage and lowering emissions. And all for the same price.
The choice was probably simple and obvious for Toyota, a company that listens closely to the market: give customers what they want, which is always more of everything. This means not just increased speed, power, and headroom, but also improved environmental performance.
And so we arrive at the Tao of Prius: Toyota is not really challenging the established order of gas-powered vehicles. It’s simply recognizing that consumers want the performance they’ve come to expect from traditional vehicles, but all other factors being equal they will choose the greener product. The current consumer base is simply not ready to make the kinds of concessions necessary to propel truly “green” cars -- smaller vehicles powered by biofuels or batteries charged with solar or wind power -- into significant market share.
Predictably, the marketing message for the new Prius is this: “Do you love to drive and still have time to care about the planet? Now you can have it all.” Don’t take my word for it -- this is Toyota’s pitch. “High performance that’s also good for the environment,” says one recent ad.
Tao of Prius: Road to Redemption?
Don’t get me wrong: Despite our unsustainable addiction to petroleum, we need technical innovation of all forms, and although the Prius is still a gas-powered car (it’s just much more efficient with the gas), the hybrid technology can be used with another power source. In that sense, Toyota is pushing the envelope and moving us toward a sustainable world -- and, it’s worth mentioning, doing so much faster than some other companies we could mention.
Yet. If the Tao of Prius -- Toyota’s targeting of consumers that seek to achieve sustainability without sacrifice -- represents the company’s best guess of the average consumers’ depth of environmental commitment, then we may be in trouble over the long term. On the other hand, if the “more of everything” mantra increases the number of greener cars on the road, then we shouldn’t complain -- too much. So let’s keep our eyes open, and watch closely where the Tao of Prius will take us.

If you believe Republicans on Capitol Hill, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) isn’t long for this world. Still, the Obama administration continues to clarify how businesses are supposed to comply with the law’s many provisions.
The Department of Labor (DOL), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) just put their heads together for the 35th time to address questions surrounding Obamacare reforms.
The result? FAQs About Affordable Care Act Implementation Part 35.
As HR Morning reported previously, the 21st Century Cures Act, among other things, allows certain small employers to offer a general purpose stand-alone health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) without violating the ACA. It is also referred to as a “qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement” — or QSEHRA.
be provided to all eligible employees of the employer offering the HRA.
One thing the 21st Century Cures Act (and the feds’ FAQ) doesn’t address: Whether the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) applies to a QSEHRA.
The FAQ also addressed special enrollment for group health plans under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Because HIPAA generally allows current employees and dependents to enroll in a company’s group health plan if the employees/dependents lose their previous coverage, they must be offered the same special enrollment option if they lose individual market coverage (i.e., health coverage they obtained through the individual Obamacare marketplace — or “exchanges”).
This could happen to individual market participants if an insurer that was covering an employee/dependent decides to stop offering that individual market coverage. As we saw last year, several major insurers have taken that step.
As you know, under the ACA, non-grandfathered health plans are required to provide recommended preventives services for women without any cost-sharing.
The services in the updated guidelines must be covered — without cost-sharing — for plan years beginning on or after December 20, 2017 (Jan. 1, 2018 for calendar year plans). Until then, plans can keep using the previous HRSA guidelines.

Abbey Road also topped the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart.
The Beatles' other best-sellers, according to Billboard, were: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (number five, 74,000 copies); The Beatles (White Album) (number seven, 60,000); Rubber Soul (number eight, 58,000); Revolver (number 10, 46,000); Help!

The former houses all albums, regardless of their age, while the latter is for those 18 months or older. The Billboard 200 includes only current and new releases, which allowed the stereo and mono box sets to chart at numbers 15 and 40 respectively.
In the Billboard Top Pop Catalog chart, the Beatles occupied nine out of the top 10 slots, with only Michael Jackson's Number Ones (number six with sales of 45,000) the lone non-Fab Four title. The group did, however, set another Billboard record for having the most simultaneous titles in the top 50 (16), beating their own record of 12, set in December 1965.
The Beatles took five of the top 10 and nine of the top 20 places on Billboard’s Comprehensive Albums chart, which lists the overall most popular album releases in the US, regardless of release date.
In the UK the group had four titles in the official albums chart's top 10 in the week after 09/09/09, although they were held off the top spot by Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again compilation.
The Beatles had a total of seven titles in the top 40 and 16 in the top 75, including both the stereo and mono box sets and the 1 compilation, according to the UK Official Charts Company. This set a new record for the most simultaneous albums by one artist in the UK charts.
More than 345,000 copies of the remasters were sold in 11 days, and total UK sales in this decade were 6,755,000, according to EMI.
In Japan all 14 remastered albums and the two box sets made the top 25 of the international chart, with sales of 840,000 within the first three days on sale.
The Beatles had seven titles in the top 10, with the stereo box leading the way at number two, followed closely by The Beatles in Mono at number three. Abbey Road charted at number four and Let It Be was at number six.
The Beatles held 15 of the top 20 catalog titles in Canada, including the first 11 places. Cumulative sales for the remasters were around 160,000, according to EMI.
The stereo box set debuted at number four, the highest for such a release since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales.
The Beatles had three albums in the French top 10, led by Abbey Road at number four. All 14 remastered titles and box sets figured on the charts, setting a new record for the most original studio albums charting in the same week.
The Beatles had a record 13 albums in the Spanish chart, plus both box sets, setting a record for a single artist. According to EMI, the combined sales of the boxed sets places them at number four in the chart.
All 14 remastered titles reached the Italian chart, along with the two box sets and the 1 compilation, setting yet another record for the most simultaneous entries in the album chart.
According to chart compiler Ultrapop, The Beatles set a new record for the most simultaneous albums in the Belgian charts with 17 entries: the 14 re-mastered titles, two boxed sets and the 1 compilation.
The Beatles set a Swedish chart record with 16 titles simultaneously in the top 60, topped by Abbey Road at number six, according to IFPI.
Seven of the top 10 places in the album chart went to The Beatles. Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was the most popular, peaking at number two, followed by Abbey Road at three and the White Album at four.
All 14 remasters figured in the top 20, and the box sets reached numbers 73 and 74.
The Beatles ranked as the third highest-selling artist due to combined sales of the stereo and mono box sets, with each counting as one unit.
All 14 remastered albums and the two box sets appeared in the top 100, with Abbey Road at number six. The Beatles set a new record for the most simultaneous entries in the Polish chart.
Fourteen Beatles titles, including the stereo boxed set, figured on the Swiss charts, setting another record for the most simultaneous titles on the albums chart.
Fifteen remastered Beatles titles, as well as the 1 compilation, appeared in the albums chart. Four of them were in the Danish top 20.
Fourteen titles appeared in the Australian albums chart, including the 1 compilation.
The current top 75 contains 12 re-mastered titles and the stereo boxed set.
Eleven of the top 30 places were taken by the remastered titles, including three inside the top 10.
Sales of the stereo and mono boxes were combined to make a number three placing in the Norwegian albums chart. Twelve of The Beatles' individual remastered albums reached the top 100.
Half of the Columbian top 10 was occupied by The Beatles' remastered CDs.
Sixteen of the top 17 places in the Korean Hottracks album chart were occupied by The Beatles during the first week of the remasters being on sale.
I was born after 1964,but I have been a huge highly impressed Beatles fan(specifically a big John and Paul fan) since I was9, I got my first Beatles book for my 11th birhday,and I had every Beatles album by age 13.
So far I got remasters of A Hard Day’s Night and Abbey Road, but all I have been listening to is A Hard Day’s Night, it’s great! It’s a better album than Let It Be which is 5 years later. It was recorded over a year before I was even born and months before I was even conceived too.The were the Greatest Rock Band Ever and the whole world still knows it!
A Hard Day’s Night is one of my favourite Beatles albums – it perfectly captured those heady moments of Beatlemania. They had other great albums, but I think it’s the best of their early period (and, incidentally, The Beatles’ only solely Lennon-McCartney album).
Do pick up the other remasters if you can – they all sound great. | 2019-04-23T19:14:28 | https://www.beatlesbible.com/2009/09/22/the-beatles-break-chart-records-around-the-world-in-2009/ |

Future Looks Good is a business purely driven by passion. Weddings are such an important part of people's lives. It is a rare opportunity to communally celebrate love, together with your partner and every special person invited.
Photography allows me to share the way I see the world, to tell stories and make something beautiful. I'm as passionate about photography now as the day I started. I still get nervous with excitement before every wedding and excitedly show off all my favourite photos the next day. This is how I know I am still on the right path in life. The day my passion goes away and I stop pushing my photos to be better then the last, is the day I put down my camera.
Every couple deserves to have a photographer that strives to do their very best every time they pick up their camera. | 2019-04-21T10:49:00 | https://www.futurelooksgood.co/about/ |

Unlike other parts of your automobile, you cannot afford to afford to take the risk of something going wrong with the brakes. A faulty engine will shut down your automobile leaving you with no option but to have it towed to the nearest repair center. A faulty transmission may leave you stranded without an automobile. However, a faulty brake can pose a threat to your life and the lives of all other individuals on the road. Hence, preventive maintenance is the best option as far as your car’s brakes are concerned. Make sure the Brake Service Casper WY firm inspects the following parts of your brake when your vehicle is being inspected.
The brake pads are the parts that come in contact with the wheel for stopping your automobile. These pads are built to withstand a lot of wear and tear. Excessive use will affect the stopping power of the brake pads and you will notice a significant deterioration in your car’s braking power. It is advisable to have the pads inspected at regular intervals. A cracked or damaged pad may leave you with malfunctioning brakes when traveling at high speeds. View website for complete details.
The braking mechanism is a hydraulic system that is powered by braking fluid. When you press the brake pedal, brake fluid is pumped through brake lines and hoses into the brake drum. The drum is connected to the brake pads, which comes in contact with the wheel and brings your vehicle to a stop. Even a seemingly minor brake fluid leak can result in a defect in the car’s braking mechanism. The lines and hoses must be inspected for cracks, defects, and other problems on a frequent basis. It is better to follow a fixed maintenance schedule that is designed by a professional Brake Service Casper WY firm after considering factors like your driving habits, miles driven, driving conditions, and age of the vehicle. .
Working with a professional firm like Doyle Johnson’s Inc that offers quality service combined with quality authentic parts will help you travel in your car without any worries whatsoever. Experiencing a brake failure can be a very traumatic event that can affect your on-road confidence. The best option would be to prevent such issues through regular maintenance. | 2019-04-21T14:28:10 | https://www.yesautomobiles.com/overview-of-services-provided-by-reputed-brake-service-casper-wy-firms/ |
Common diving petrels are dark to black above and white below, with short, rounded wings, a stubby black bill, short cobalt-blue feet and legs. The feet and legs of adults become brighter during the breeding season.
Common diving petrels are very similar to the South Georgian diving petrel, and it is almost impossible to separate them at sea.
Common diving petrels have been recorded from waters ranging from the subtropics to the subantarctic, usually between 35° and 55°S. They are widely distributed over southern Australian and New Zealand waters.
The average life expectancy of a common diving petrel is believed to be no more than 3-4 years. Swamp Harriers, kelp gulls, skuas and giant petrels take considerable numbers of adults and young each year.
Common diving petrels nest on coastal plains and slopes on cliff edges and behind stable dunes. They nest in burrows or tunnels 25-150cm long, 0.2-1.0m deep and with an entrance 5-8 cm in diameter.
Common diving petrels eat mostly marine crustaceans, particularly euphausiids and copepods while rearing chicks. | 2019-04-19T23:14:58 | http://www.antarctica.gov.au/about-antarctica/wildlife/animals/flying-birds/petrels-and-shearwaters/common-diving-petrel |
How to Host a Fabulous Girls Weekend.
This is how we normal.
This is how we pretend to be snobby… Except Bethany in the middle, who doesn’t know how to be snobby. I think it’s an eyebrow thing mostly.
Technically, it was only a road trip for those of us who, you know, drove somewhere. But every year it is magical and lovely and thoroughly soul-filling.
This is how we keep it real. Aka how we are most of the time.
* These black and white photos featuring an excessively attractive group of ladies were generously supplied by our resident fancy-schmancy photographer, Kara.
This year was no different. Except that this time, I actually planned and organized the way a real, live hostess might do for a girls weekend.
It’s possible that I may have been a little obsessed with the sheer funity (as in fun…ity) of the concept a girls weekend anyway, ever since I read this post from The Nester.
After I first read this post last spring, a seed was planted in me, which found the fullness of its flourishing throughout most of the month of April… and all of May… leading up to the event itself.
What I love about The Nester’s post is the sort of guidelines she shared about how to enjoy hosting people and cultivate a no-stress atmosphere. Isn’t it the worst when you are positively bubbling with anticipation for some party you’re hosting, and then are so preoccupied with the details and the agenda that the enjoyment is sucked out of it?
Our theme, as decided by myself, was- wait for it- Pretty Comfy Coffee Togetherness Weekend. Pretty much genius, right? It was the first thing that came to me, and I loved it. If you visit The Nester’s post about this topic, you’ll probably notice some similarities in the types of decor and theme choices I made; so if you think it’s a rip off of her stuff, then it probably is.
LOVE for my home to look festive, pulled together and extra special when I have a get together but, I learned long ago not to try to come up with some elaborate theme, although having a general theme or purpose can be helpful. When I hosted my sister’s book signing party the theme was simply book pages. This time I wanted the theme or feel of the weekend to be girly, fun, and relaxing. That doesn’t mean we all have to bring our ball gowns and bring in a manicurist and masseuse to come for the weekend. Oh no. When you choose a theme you want it to be something that will be a workhorse for you, not something you have to be a slave for. I used a few five-minute ideas that quickly added some whimsical girliness into my house.
So, obviously, I went with giant pink poms and white lanterns. (The lanterns were left over from Lu’s 1st birthday party, the poms were from Party City- $12.) Then I added some white tulle Ikea curtains (intended to be hung in Lucy’s nursery… that hasn’t happened yet) and some random other pink tulle that my mom gave me, and voila!
You should’ve seen me trying to put it up. Hanging things is not my specialty. But I figured command hooks were elementary enough… And they would’ve been, had I not initially purchased outdoor command hooks, which did NOT stick to my drywall. This, children, is why you read things like labels.
* The Guest Bathroom- I wanted it to be lovely, girly, and welcoming… but also practical. I mean, four women were going to share it. This is not the place to use up valuable counter space with lots of tchotchkes. (Is that how you spell that word???) That said, I still had a couple things I wanted in there, since I didn’t have time to hang things that I’d originally planned to.
Those paper muffin cups and me? We fell in love at first sight. I knew I had to use them for something fun, and though there were muffins, these were used for mini-makeup-goodie bags instead, using some fabulous, extra Mary Kay products I had.
You might think these were supposed to be- I don’t know- name tags, or something… However, I decided their purpose was just to be pretty. And I decided to draw tea cups on them. The crazy thing was, each person TOTALLY picked the one I thought they would… Epic.
4. say yes when someone offers help- I like to think I took this tip, and helped it become the greatest version of itself. By straight up asking for help. Because people, I have a baby, and I’m not the type of woman that likes to do absolutely everything, especially when it comes to cooking (as my husband can tell you). It’s just not one of my strengths. Really, as long as there were muffins, I knew everything else would be perfect. And oh, the muffins.
Homemade goat cheese & turkey bacon pizza with pineapple and red onion on honey wheat crust. This one I did make. BAM.
It’s so true, right! I mean, some cleaning had to be done at times, because well, the kitchen is visible from 75% of the rest of our apartment. But my goal was that I would neither clean obsessively, nor obsess over cleaning. I didn’t want the honored guests to feel like that was a bigger priority than enjoying the rare and precious opportunity of just being together.
6. Keep a loose hold on your agenda. Plans are good, but not when they hijack the fun(ity).- This tip is my own. (I think… though I’m sure it is not original.) There have been some roadtrips where we did something really wonderful and memorable- like the very first one when we went to Symphony on the Prairie and heard the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra play Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. And there are general things we love to do, like go to local coffee shops (or just Starbucks- we’re not picky). For example- for the second year in a row we all went to Cavu Coffee (aka my happy place).
*These 3 photos also generously supplied by my exceedingly talented friend, Kara, who is a fancy-schmancy photographer, in case you didn’t click the link the first time.
So, we all ended up with goodies to take home… And no, my tea-cup-cards don’t count as my favorite thing. Obviously, that’s the lace Skurar planter thingys.
But mostly, we like to drink copious amounts of coffee and tea, eat dark chocolate, and talk. We talk life, catching up, job stuff, etc. But even more than that, we (is there a non-cheesy way to say this?) soul-talk. It’s something we desperately need, as people, as friends, and especially as artists.
This is what’s actually normal for us.
And of course it’s impossible to capture the very best part of the entire weekend. The real connections, risky sharing, tears, laughter, vulnerability, and true friendship that continues to grow.
Of course, we may also have watched the 7 hour long BBC Pride & Prejudice, too… But even watching that together takes on a beauty all its own. For my part, I plan on volunteering to host next year too… because you know, then I don’t have to go anywhere. And also, I do love those poms.
Do you love hosting stuff? Do you have pretty pictures??? I want to see them!

Coworking is at the forefront of strategies, organizations world over are adapting, to provide employees an optimal environment to showcase their inherent capabilities. With an increasing number of businesses embracing this work culture globally, the lives of over one million employees are expected to witness a sea change by 2018. While it is not easy for an organization to adopt a specific coworking model – scalability, nature of the industry and organizational spends being some of the biggest deterrents, a large number of companies prefer conforming to it, their reasons ranging from nurturing resources for quality productivity to acquiring market information without any breach of security.
There are several benefits to working in co working set-ups, particularly for small businesses. Start-ups get flexible working options at affordable rents, as they are offered seats at cheaper rentals in an office-like environment while enjoying an organized and synergized set-up along with business networking opportunities with the other members. Not surprisingly, as per Deskmag’s Annual coworking survey, 71% of the respondents say that coworking is a creativity booster while 62% report an improvement in productivity.
This model is applied only within an organization amongst its employees where they share knowledge and collaborate on pioneering ideas. While this increases productivity, provides flexibility and a protected environment, it could also prove to be a hindrance to new employees as they succumb to a prolonged ‘lag’ phase to adjust to the new cultural style. In this model, firms often organize weekly or fortnightly collaborative sessions within local/ global teams and/ between departments through high-end conferencing facilities. However, this model may not suit individuals who prefer to work independently like software engineers, industrial designers, coders or gaming developers.
In the quest to garner market information and business trends, many organizations enroll their employees at external coworking spaces. This model is typically suitable for business development professionals who need to proactively network, are self-sufficient and enjoy working independently. It caters to those who wish to connect with other coworkers from an external location, establish industrial contacts and have easy access to events and other business opportunities. It has proven to be advantageous in terms of increasing productivity, providing flexibility and reducing travel time. Organizations opting for this model find it convenient to allow working parents of specially-abled children or new parents to work out of such set-ups once their maternity/ paternity leaves have been exhausted.
Globally, a majority of the coworking space providers’ claim around 70% of their revenues comes from their memberships with corporate clientele alone. Companies such as WeWork, Thrive and Spaces are popular coworking space providers that largely utilize this model across their facilities worldwide. On the flip side, security concerns and proximity to competitors are the looming concerns that most corporate end-users face when considering this model.
In this model, the internal coworking space is managed by individuals or companies where space is given to start-ups or small businesses with the aim of creating a hub of similar interests, where they receive mentoring services as well. Most start-ups have financial limitations and seek networking opportunities and connectivity to sustain, thus opting for coworking hub spaces. It is beneficial in terms of flexibility, knowledge sharing, and accessing talent worldwide. Swire Properties (Hong Kong) is one such coworking space provider which helps start-up organizations with a base to operate.
In internal coworking, start-ups are often mentored by their parent organizations, venture capitalists and/ or investors. This allows the parent company to exercise control and constantly access the start-up project with no risk or impact on its primary venture. For instance, very few are aware that Alphabet Inc, Google’s parent company, funded the project of futuristic self-driven cars till the venture became official as Waymo in 2016. The drawbacks of this model could be a violation of confidentiality, and operational complexity owing to differences in corporate and entrepreneurial backgrounds.
This model reduces operational expenses as one pays the service provider only for the precise requirements and there is a minimal risk of accessing copyrighted and classified company information. It helps in providing a secure yet invigorating environment as functional experts brainstorm on issues, coming up with path-breaking services and products while sharing experiences. However, cultural dichotomy and clash of egos may frequently be witnessed during the process. Other drawbacks include staff poaching and at times the benefits might not be reaped equivalently by both partners.
Today, with increasing level of competition in the office space spectrum, most coworking space providers are proactively seeking service differentiators to expand their businesses. Whether it is a private office space in one city or a shared desk in another, coworking space owners are customizing solutions based on one or a mix of the above models. In a bid to increase revenue share, coworking spaces frequently rent out space to industrial forums and event organizers to conduct corporate events, conferences and hold round-table meetings. Yet, the fact cannot be overlooked that coworking today has become a facilitating medium that has essentially helped corporates to battle high attrition rates, utilize space efficiently, encourage collaboration, provide a positive atmosphere for creative thinking where conversations and ideas can flow freely, encouraging an environment of gainful ideas and re-establishing to connect with employees. Thus, by dint of coworking space, a company becomes more than just a job; and a workplace more than just regular office– it becomes a place to co exist and thrive. | 2019-04-24T04:22:35 | http://www.vestianglobal.com/blog/co-working-new-age-mantra-co-exist/ |
There is a lot of talk and hype about the rising price of farmland throughout North America. Farmland will always be a good investment, but in this volatile economic environment, it may be prudent to look at investing in the land you already have rather than buying more. The return could be significantly better.
We’ve had successive wet years in parts of the Corn Belt. Too much water can significantly reduce yields, increase soil erosion, cause nitrogen loss and inhibit nutrient uptake.
There are several soil and water conservation practices (some with cost-sharing opportunities) that can add to the value of your farm with competitive returns on investment.
Make it pay. Having adequate drain tile really paid off last year. On our family farm in eastern Iowa, my father invested in a Vermeer tiling machine in 1965 and my brothers and I installed nearly 70,000 tiles during a 20-year period. Although I thought we had adequate drainage this year, we made a decision to add to the existing investment. We wound up essentially pattern-tiling the whole farm.
Analyzing the yield map records convinced us to expand on the tiling success we had already achieved.
The yields were 300 bu. per acre over the tile lines, and within several rods on either side the yield would drop 100 bu. Drainage pays. Or to put it another way, lack of good drainage reduces your bottom line.
Our farm’s drainage systems are on the top end, so tiling costs less than on some farms where one would have large expenses to get adequate outlets. But a $450 to $500 per acre investment could pattern-tile a farm with good outlets for the drainage lines.
To make a tiling decision, do a few calculations to see what’s feasible for your farm. For offsetting income, I used a 12-year study by The Ohio State University. This research showed a 20 bu. to 30 bu. per acre increase in corn yields and a 7 bu. to 15 bu. per acre increase in soybean yields.
Based on that data, I assumed a 25 bu. increase for corn and a 10 bu. increase for soybeans. My grain price assumptions were $5 corn and $12.50 soybeans, both coincidentally figured to a $125 revenue increase per year.
The net present value was $185, which meant that with a 10-year payback, the cost of the investment is returned and I increase my wealth by $185 per acre in today’s dollars, assuming the opportunity cost on my investment was 10%.
return, I can compare different investment strategies, as long as the projects are similar in size.
The MIRR on this tiling project was 33.95%. That’s a lot better than the stock market over the past year and better than the 10% to 12% return from stocks over a long period of time.
My MIRR goal on most projects is 20%, so this investment is one of the better ones I could make. It is difficult to get that kind of return on buying farmland at current prices.
Another alternative that is gaining a lot of traction is controlled drainage investments, where the excess water is retained at certain times during the year to act as sub-irrigation in dry times and reduce the nitrates entering the surface water. Those investments show similar returns.
An increasing number of farmers are tiling rented land, and these results apply to those cases too. You can have a lease agreement where the tenant pays for the tile and if the landowner rents the farm to someone else, the remaining value of the tile is returned to the tenant, based on a 10-year amortization.
Farming has always been a risk management business. In this case, a comparative analysis leading to smart investing reduces your risk and gets you ready for the ride. | 2019-04-25T14:03:21 | https://www.agweb.com/article/the_bottom_line_do_the_best_you_can_with_the_land_you_have/ |

Christmas is coming and there is plenty going on in New Bedford as school principal and town mayor Max Sutton has little spare time although between everything manages to find time to re-write the school's Christmas pageant. Hub Bailey has become close to a musician from Austria whilst he had been studying at the seminary which hasn't gone down well with everyone when he brings her back home for Christmas.
I am going to leave it there because I need to say something. I have never seen a single episode of the TV series "Wind at My Back", I don't have any recollection of it being shown here in the UK. And to be really honest when I came across "A Wind at My Back Christmas" and saw that it featured characters with the surname Bailey and was set in a town called New Bedford I thought for one minute it was some sort of misguided sequel to "It's a Wonderful Life". Now as such watching "A Wind at My Back Christmas" without prior knowledge of the characters is difficult and I can only imagine it would be like for someone who didn't grow up watching "The Waltons" to watch one of the TV movie spin-offs.
Now I mentioned "The Waltons" for a reason and I will mention "Everwood" as well as this movie has a tone and style which is in between. What I mean is that we have the small town community life of "Everwood" but combined with the period nature of "The Waltons" with a mix of the wholesomeness of both. It is because of those that even though it makes it difficult to watch with no history of the characters the tone and wholesomeness makes it watchable.
What this all boils down to is that "A Wind at My Back Christmas" whilst watchable is one of those TV movie spin-offs where you really need to have watched and been a fan of the TV show it originates from. But trust me when I say that if you enjoy the wholesome nature of "The Waltons" you are likely to enjoy this just as much. | 2019-04-23T09:02:35 | https://themoviescene.co.uk/reviews/a-wind-at-my-back-christmas-2001/a-wind-at-my-back-christmas-2001.html |

The Commercial Curmudgeon: And the best part is, they work for Happy Meals!
Aww, how adorable. Remember how kids used to have lemonade stands, and they'd mix up the stuff and try to get people to stop and buy some at maybe five cents a glass, and since even forty years ago a nickle didn't buy much of anything at all it was really more all in fun and about engaging in a project which took advantage of those summer days that seemed to never end?
B. Keep track of the wage slaves---err, "staff."
And isn't the result oh so adorable? Grim-faced automatons barking orders into cell phones, sending important-looking graphics to the worker drones, sitting behind massive desks to advertise their status as America's Most Productive. These kids are one step away from financing a Tea Party rally.
Anyway- I don't have kids, so maybe I'm out of line here, but do we really want to see children taking life (and money which, believe it or not, is really not the same thing) so seriously? Does every activity have to be about organizing and graphing and scheduling and shipping and "succeeding" (by raking in the dough, of course?) Is there any room for innocent fun anymore? My guess is that the answer is "no"- that play and imagination and pointless, silly fun went the way of the dodo as soon as we decided to sell our souls for Connectivity.
Still- I wish companies like Verizon could just leave the kids alone.
But all in all, they're just another brick in the wall. | 2019-04-23T08:57:35 | http://www.thecommercialcurmudgeon.com/2011/10/and-best-part-is-they-work-for-happy.html |

How many squares do we need to build the 1st iteration of a Menger sponge? Children can easily count this, if they chose 6 different colors to make it, such that all squares looking at the same face have the same color. In the picture below, we see for instance that the yelow exterior face has 8 squares, and we have 4 more yelow squares in the interior. This gives12 squares per color, so times 6 gives 72 squares. For the second iteration we would need 1056 squares!! We will try to make it soon. If you are interested on a mathematical formula for this and the nth-iteration of the Menger sponge, please visit our blog Juegos Topológicos.
Here, we have pushed the corners to make this nice version with octogonal faces. The flexibility of this material allows to make new figures and shapes.
Mathematics is always fun with 3D Polyfelt, but children also like to play and make its own figures and constructions!
And you can make your own house to play with your dolls!

What started as a movie set, ended providing identity features to a small Spanish village.
After Sony’s Smurf Village proposal, the inhabitants started to feel like Smurfs themselves. Although Sony promised to paint the picturesque village white again after the campaign, the inhabitants found out that being a Smurf is not bad at all. It’s interesting to see how a simple marketing stunt changes the economical prospects of a small village. We’ve seen this kind of urban coloring stunts before, but this strikingly shows that marketing logic works for city-making as well. It’s time to add a new chapter to our marketing is urbanism trend. | 2019-04-23T04:02:38 | http://www.morethangreen.es/en/juzcar-the-smurfs-village/ |

I have this thing about naming everything just right. For example, variables, methods and just about anything else that I code and have control over has to be named just right, in that its descriptive name should allow me to immediately identify its purpose relatively quickly without having to search through headers. Doing this usually means that well after creating a new variable or method I end up wanting to change it based on the fact that I've either come up with a better name or that it now conflicts with some other new creation. Anyway, Xcode 3 has just made my rather obsessive renaming habit a whole lot easier with its new refactoring option.
Previously I would use Xcode's global find and replace, but because this would also include things like comments I had to be very careful what I was actually replacing. Now I simply highlight the text which I intend to rename and right click, choosing 'Refactor' from the menu, which produces the above window. The nice thing about the new refactoring options is that it gives you the chance to preview your changes using Xcode's built in diff display, as well as the option to take what Xcode refers to as a snapshot before the changes are made. This option is especially useful as it provides you the ability to revert all your changes in the future for whatever reason, but is not really necessary if your code base is under some other form of version control, for example, Subversion.
Xcode's intelligent refactoring is just one of my new favourite features in Xcode 3 alongside the improved syntax highlighting and the 'Focus Follow Selection' option, which by the way is featured on the first Xcode Quick Tips screencast on the newly established Mac Developer Network. | 2019-04-24T02:23:09 | http://stuconnolly.com/blog/xcode-3-refactoring/ |

So... exactly one year and one week after I picked up the rig I've been using since Nov '17, my video card fried. No surprise there, eh? It's under warranty, but I figured I'd just stick a newer one in... nope. Then I got hit with Win10 1803 and 1809. Every personal file... every single one vanished. I used shadow copy extracting software, but the entire shadow copy was corrupted. I didn't know this until I had extracted it all to my back up external, overwriting many of the original backups that worked. So I essentially lost a year of work on updating Bob's, along with a ton of commercial content. Around 158 items altogether.
So I decided to do a reset... fancy that... the rig wasn't originally a Win10. It was a Win7, upgraded and repackaged to Win10. The reset bricked the computer with the infinite restart loop.
I'll be on my phone until I can eBay off my personal possessions to get a computer that isn't a lie. Warranty or not, the only upgrade that computer is getting is 54 slugs from my attorney, Mr. Mossberg. It's a shame a lawsuit against M$ would never come to fruition.
If you want to port my content to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, please feel free to do so. Permission is granted, so no need to ask.
I cannot afford the game at this time due to ongoing health issues which are preventing me from working, so I can't port it myself.
For anyone in the middle East, can you please take a quick look at this video and see if the inscription at 6:20 makes sense to you?
I believe it says Saka and may be a maker's name.
FOR THE RECORD. I DO NOT HAVE ASSETS MADE BY OTHERS IN MY MODS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE DAMNED PERMISSIONS KEEP SAYING. I MAKE MY OWN CONTENT, AND HAVE CHANGED THAT SETTING SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS, BECAUSE IT KEEPS GOING BACK TO LYING ABOUT ME USING OTHER FOLKS' WORK.
Been offline for several months. Just got back on a few nights ago. I have a ton of messages to go through.
Update 1m BETA is up.
I'll be adding images slowly. Click the left image arrow to see the new stuff.
There is no update 1l due to the lower case l looking like | or l or I.
There are many new fantasy weapons, including more bows.
I added in cheese slices so that 1 and 3 bits of cheese glue can also be made.
The new hats and helmets still aren't done. My hat scene went belly up and I managed to end up with nothing in it rigged anymore. Gotta skin them all over again.
Also made a bunch more cube maps and variants of my existing cubemaps for more metallic variety.
I left the bronze weapons in the mesh and texture folders. They are all denoted by the names damg`. They are not in game in this version, but will be in the next update.
I originally created them for a team doing a Greek themed mod, but I fear they fizzled out, since I haven't heard from them in some time. There are bronze axes, maces, swords, bows and spears hidden in the meshes and textures folders.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the correctly colored, historically accurate version of the bork will be in the next update. I totally forgot to put it into the previous update.
My left arm is shut down due to the nerve damage so all is going hella slow. I'm about as slow now as all my former employers, which is terribly demoralizing.
Bean counters at disability just keep perpetuating their lies. First they claimed I hadn't worked enough to receive disability, even though I'm 51 and have paid into it since I was 15. Then they sent me to one of their quack doctors who was able, through means of magical divination, to determine that 3 specialists were wrong and I didn't have carpal tunnel... without ever examining me. He then went on to say, before any examination, that there was no way I had rheumatoid arthritis because men can't get it. Only women can get it. I informed SSI that he is a malpractice lawsuit waiting to happen. They sent me more paperwork to fill out. Oh yay, just what I need. f*** government.

Turban colors are actually easy. You can open the turban texture in Photoshop and change it, then save it right back out.
Download Photoshop CS2 for free from Adobe.
Download the DDS tools from nVidia and install them. for Photoshop.
Open or drag and drop the turban texture and hit the following in Photoshop.
Image-> adjustments-> variations at the bottom of the rollout.
Click around on the various shades until you have the color you want.
Save as DDS as DXT1RGB with Mipmaps set to all by default.
If you are wanting to do a shemag pattern on it, you can copy and paste CTRL A, CTRL C, CTRL V, another image onto the turban pattern and change the blending mode found in the right tool column where it says Layer, the dropdown that says Normal, to soft light, or overlay, or lighten, darken or color. Which ever makes it look "believable".
I'm pretty much stuck on a phone right now. :( Back to using my abacus wired to a Lite-Brite.
Please actually read the description, then the comments. This has been addressed over a dozen times.
Congratulations for this master piece of game content, its by far the best mod i have ever found to Skyrim in relation to the games weapons, and its also contributes to the character own personality. The looks of the items gives the game a better RPG aura, this mod deserves to be on my top list, for sure...Nice job, and keep on that..
how do i install this on special edition?
There is a link to the nif optimizer for SE. You will need to run that on the meshes. It doesn't take long.
I just installed the esp as is and haven't had any issues at all. But you can save it through the beth.net CS if you want. I had someone save it for me through that early on and all it did was crash over and over. So I used this esp and it worked perfectly.
There are still a few of my normal maps that I made smaller and saved as ARGB8X32. These might cause issues in Riften. Something to do with Bethesda's port of the game through the updated engine. It started with their first big patch for Fallout 4. Yep, another patch introduced bug. And of course it carried over to SSE.
My uncompressed eye normal map fix causes it to crash in Riften too, so I made an SSE version.
Can I use vanilla or modded enchantments on this if I port it with it not being in leveled lists. Also made a killer plague doctor and bone vampire hunter outfit with this gotta love this mod.
Should be able to. OH! What doctor mask did you use?
lol Wish there was just a weapon only version...I dgaf about the somewhat lore breaking hats.
You can use tes5edit to remove the construct item listings for what you don't want to see in game or in crafting. Also, the hats can be removed from the listings altogether pretty simply. | 2019-04-19T09:57:52 | https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12060?tab=posts |
Audi will launch its compact soft-roader – previously known as the Q1 – with a Q2 badge after securing rights to both the Q2 and Q4 names from Fiat-owned Alfa Romeo, the Auto Motor und Sport motoring journal in Germany reports.
Audi is pitching the model as an upmarket crossover SUV and leaving the Q1 slot unoccupied in case it decides to introduce a smaller compact. The Q4 is still shrouded in secrecy. Audi currently sells Q3, Q5 and Q7 models.
According to Indian Autos Blog, Hackenberg also confirmed that the new Q2 will debut in production trim at the 2016 Geneva motor show in March.
The luxury marque has previously stated that it will be expanding its SUV offerings. There will be new models at the upper and lower ends of the range, with the Q2 (seen here) providing a new entry point.
Spy photos have surfaced showing the Q2 on test runs prior to its planned launch at next year’s Geneva show in March. Through spotted in heavy camouflage, the trademark Audi angular headlights and hexagonal grille can be clearly made out. | 2019-04-25T16:09:27 | http://www.motoringnation.co.uk/audi/audi-release-q2-next-year/ |

Located on the central coast of California, this sunny, hilly metropolis has a lot to boast about. Everyone from foodies, shoppers and sun worshippers to culture vultures, skateboarders and live music fans can appreciate the broad appeal of San Francisco, or ‘San Fran’ as it’s affectionately known.
Probably the most iconic attraction is the Golden Gate Bridge, a vibrant orange wonder of the modern world stretching majestically across the strait to the Marin Headlands. For more marvellous constructions, explorers can head to the Civic Center area, which boasts a grand collection of classical-style architecture.
Set over a few blocks, this is a National Historic Landmark featuring government and cultural buildings such as the Supreme Court of California, Asian Art Museum, War Memorial Opera House and San Francisco Public Library. There are two picturesque plazas, one of which leads to the stunning domed centrepiece of the City Hall, and various skate and music events take place within the grounds, along with a regular farmers’ market.
San Francisco is home to the oldest Chinatown in North America and the largest outside of Asia; as well as offering delectable food, this area is an impressive sight to behold and a great place to spend a few hours investigating. Union Square is the perfect destination to indulge in some shopping, dining, relaxing and theatre.
Further retail therapy can be provided at the upscale Westfield San Francisco Center Shopping Mall in Market Street and fun for all is waiting at the Yerba Buena Ice Skating Center, which is open all year round.
For picnics, recreation and city views, there is the Lafayette Park in the Pacific Heights neighbourhood. Energetic sightseers climb 400 steps up Telegraph Hill, keeping an eye out for gorgeous wild parrots along the way and visit the Coit Tower at the top for panoramic vistas.
Another essential stop is Fisherman’s Wharf where activities include making a splash on Ride the Ducks San Francisco, feeding the resident friendly sea lions and visiting Pier 39 for spectacular scenery across the Bay; for something more adventurous, there is the short ferry ride over to the notorious Alcatraz prison.
Those seeking more serene surroundings can venture to the golden sands of Baker Beach or the Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District – a peaceful enclave that is a popular venue for weddings. This stunning decorative structure, a monument from the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, sits amid a tranquil lagoon setting.
After a delicious meal at one of the many quality restaurants, locals head for the bohemian hub of Haight-Ashbury to see the Painted Ladies at Alamo Square. This is a quaint row of Victorian houses amazingly juxtaposed with the modern city landscape in the background, affording a gorgeous view and the perfect spot for watching the sunset.
An unconventional drive can be experienced on Lombard Street - with a whopping eight tight hairpin turns in one block, this residential road is known as the ‘crookedest street in the world’.

Starting a Personal Chefs Service how do i find funding?
Help I have 40 yrs in food service as a working managing chef , and find it is time to go to work for my self , the 60 to 80 hr. grind in the kitchen is to much. So have posted a web site and email addy and advertising for PERSONAL CHEF SERVICE. the name is Your Personal Chef Chef Bryan. I need to get my certification for personal home chef and some more advertising other then the internet. like car signs,and more ins. All in all I only need about $3,000.00 but everybody I talked to says it to small of a loan. Is there a loan company out ther that would help. I live in APEX NC. if you want to look at my site it is.
Re: Starting a Personal Chefs Service how do i find funding?
Starting a Personal Chefs Service, Welcome and Good Luck.
Do you know about SCORE. SCORE is FREE and can help you.
No I have not heard of score can you send some info,or a link to where i can get some info?
I would not underestimate the power of networking and recommendations - - are you involved in activities/go to events where all the foodies go to (e.g. restaurant week, food festivals, cooking demonstrations, workshops, organic farmer's markets, celebrity chef events, cook-offs, etc.)? Those would be bettter venues to advertise, or to meet people that would potentially hire a personal chef or would be able to recommend you. And maybe you want to start hosting some dinner parties, etc. so people can actually "taste" your expertise. Good luck!
There's another small business owner that runs a similiar business, chefstacy. I wish she could chime in and help you. Or try reaching out to them?
Thanks for the heads up on one of the other chefs.where is she from? | 2019-04-26T13:42:11 | https://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread/8956 |
Since there is so much moisture in kitchens and bathrooms, the floors often need to be replaced before the floors in other rooms. Even super durable products like tile or linoleum will eventually need to be replaced. Engineered hardwood can redefine the look of any room. Furthermore, hardwood is a very durable and low maintenance product. This article explains why installing engineered hardwood floors in your kitchen or bathrooms is a very smart investment.
It is important to distinguish that not all hardwood floors are the same. If you are installing hardwood in a kitchen or bathroom, you definitely want a waterproof floor, so you should look for an engineered product. Engineered hardwood floors are made out of several thin veneers of wood that are glued together. Furthermore, the top layer has a waterproof laminate or epoxy finish. This finish is completely clear so it protects the hardwood without changing the look. Basically, an engineered hardwood floor looks just like a natural hardwood floor, but it is far more durable and well-suited to the moist environment of a bathroom.
As mentioned, engineered hardwood floors are made out of thin layers of wood. This allows them to be more flexible and more lightweight. The flexibility is key when it comes to installing them in a bathroom that used to have a different type of floor. During the removal of the old floor, there's likely to be a little bit of mortar or adhesive that is still stuck to the subfloor. This tiny bit of leftover residue can make it hard to perfectly install some types of flooring that are not flexible. However, a flexible engineered floor will go right over an imperfect subfloor without any issues.
One of the biggest perks of engineered hardwood floors is that they are designed to be self installed. That is, they have a simple tongue and groove system that allows consumers, even if they are not construction expert, to install them on their own with minimal power tools. Of course, if you do installation by yourself, you can greatly reduce the overall cost of the project.
As you can see, engineered hardwood floors are great for kitchen and bathroom settings. It is an affordable, easy to install, waterproof and durable product. Over the years, you will also save a little bit of money because they require barely any maintenance. Contact a business, such as Costen Floors Inc, for more information. | 2019-04-20T04:22:52 | http://restaurantesdesoria.com/2016/05/28/why-engineered-hardwood-is-great-for-bathroom-floors/ |

Due to the arbitrage method that was explained in the article on what are forward rates, it can be seen that there is a relationship between spot rates and forward rates.
Namely, the forward rates have a relation to the term of the spot rates, of course there is a chicken and egg scenario that arises with regard the actual spot rates and whether they are calculated based on the general prevailing view of the market, or in fact if questions around future rates are asked first and then from these the spot rates are derived.
Finding out what relates to what and why people choose this course of action rather than that in the markets is actually quite difficult, and cause and effect is sometimes quite blurred in the markets!
However, overall we say that the spot rates equates to the geometric mean forward rate. | 2019-04-22T20:20:58 | http://www.mysalary.co.uk/shares/spot-rates-relate-forward-rates_93 |

We offer skilled and loving childcare for children from 0-3 years during Sunday School and the Worship Service. We offer graded Sunday School classes for children ages 4 and up. During the service, children join us for the singing time and then are dismissed to Children's Church (except for the first Sunday of every month when we celebrate the Lord's Table).
Our worship music is based around God-centered, Christ-exalting words. Those words are paired with memorable melodies that are wonderful to sing. Our singing is typically accompanied by piano and guitar with violin and other instruments. We strive for musical excellence regardless of style. We love to sing hymns of all generations as well as newer songs of faith. It's both reverent and relatable.
What do people typically wear?
Style of dress varies. Some dress up. Some are casual. Most people are dressed in nicer casual clothes like you might wear to a nice restaurant.
The service begins at 10:30 and is typically over at 11:50.
We believe there is great power in the Word of God. With few exceptions, sermons at Kerrville Bible Church are verse-by-verse expositions through entire books of the Bible. We deal with the whole counsel of God, even the difficult passages.
We have approximately 250 adult members and typically have 250-300 in attendance on Sunday morning; big enough to feel substantial but small enough not to overwhelm you. We'd love to have you join us.
Will you make me stand up and introduce myself?
We do like to recognize our guests, but we don't ask anyone to introduce themselves during the service; just a quick acknowledgement during the welcome time. If you do visit, our pastor would love to meet you after the service and give you a welcome gift. He's usually with his wife down by the piano. | 2019-04-19T10:27:01 | http://www.kerrvillebiblechurch.org/im-new-here.html |

Kamau, first produced by Kumu Kahua for its 1994 summer tour of the Islands, was described by Honolulu Advertiser theater critic Joseph Rozmiarek as a moving and powerful piece on the nature of personal and cultural compromise. The story centers around Alika, a Hawaiian man who works as a guide for a local tour company to support his adopted family. His employer offers Alika a promotion, at the same time informing him that the company has purchased and plans to build a hotel on the oceanfront land where Alika’s family has lived and fished for generations. Weighed down with responsibilities and confused by alcohol, Alika struggles with his conscience as he considers his alternatives. No pat answers or one-dimensional characters are offered in Kamau (which means to persevere) as the playwright explores the complex interrelationships, moral ambiguities, and harsh realities of life in contemporary Hawaii.
Three Filipino-Hawaiians from Hawai`i, all in their mid-twenties, take a trip to the Philippines. Malcom has been there before, as an Ivy League college student teaching English to high school kids, and he’s the only one of the three who speaks Tagalog. Ronald, his cousin, is a surfer without much desire to experience the world outside of Hawai`i until this trip. Tomas, Ronald’s best friend, appears at first to be little more than a jive-talking, beer-guzzling party animal. Personalities clash and tempers flare as the priorities of the trip are heatedly debated and all three struggle to come to grips with their ancestry and their multi-ethnic, multi-cultural identities. Their odyssey gives theatergoers a taste of life in the Philippines as the trio travels from Manila and Makati to Baguio and the sacred caves of Sagada, and from a descent into the underworld to a new level of enlightenment and understanding of themselves and one another.
The years have slipped quickly past a young Sansei whose College Sweetheart died under suspicious circumstances in the Vietnam War.

She received the Maverick Award (Los Angeles Women’s Festival), was awarded the Tino Award, the Joey Award, and was nominated for the CalArts Herb Alpert Award 2000. She had also won the Bay Area Playwrights Festival 10-Minute Play Contest and had two plays developed with BAPF.

Barroga served on panels for Theatre Communications Group, the National Endowment for the Arts, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and at the Santa Clara, Oakland, and Marin Arts Councils.
Walls is a play about the design and building of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and the controversy surrounding it and its designer, Maya Lin, a 21-year-old Chinese American student. But the drama is about other walls as well — the walls that separate us individually and racially, walls of bigotry and fear and misunderstanding.
Kenny gives the audience a glimpse into the hearts and minds of the parents who continue to mourn the untimely death of their son, who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Talk-Story focuses on the Filipino immigrant experience. The central character is Dee Abano, a first-generation American daughter in love with old movies, but caught up in an identity crusade. She is also a newspaper copy assistant beginning a series of articles on the Filipino experience, most of which are based on her father’s colorful and often-told stories. The situation gives Barroga the opportunity to rapidly bounce between Dee’s contemporary experiences and those of her father and uncle in the Philippines and California. Simultaneous histories unfold: the men confronting discrimination with pride and humor, and Dee challenging lingering prejudice and ignorance with fierce determination. What evolves is the clear message that all coping methods come with a price. The older brothers drift into bitterness and denial, while Dee exhausts herself defending against unintended slights. Eventually Dee learns the real truth behind her father’s stories and discovers that both of them have used fantasy to escape from a reality that is often imperfect.
This period musical depicts a dramatic interpretation of an actual event in San Francisco in the 1930s and follows the path of one enterprising Filipino immigrant on his climb as a gang leader who defies the existing labor conditions when his cousin is mistakenly killed.

The reluctant heroine, Ona, discovers company secrets and takes and adventurous journey revealing them. There is another kind of danger strolling through paradise, however. Escaping one world weighed down in intrigue and shadiness into another with its own danger laced with devouring spirits teaches Ona and her brother, Ian, the perils and necessities of taking stands. Her trek is a thinly disguised homage to Dorothy’s accidental travel to the MGM-tinted Oz, with her trio of guards resembling other Oz-like characters.
Will Autumn love release 3 friends from their cages? When teen memories confront Mike while visiting Morty – whose cage is more inescapable: Mike’s past or Morty’s braces? Almost frozen in time, the childhood home shared by Morty and sister, Nance, seems to encase her as well in another kind of cage. Staging simultaneous scenes between adolescence and adulthood, a poignant tale emerges on friendship, aspirations, and tugging allegiances.
Four people’s lives connect the stringlike circle of missed opportunities, unlikely but fated couplings, and unrequited love. “M” is the current darling theory (superseding Einstein’s on relativity, which superseded Newton’s on gravity) – in short, string theory. “M” is reputed to be theorist Ed Witten’s private fun on the letter itself, only upside down, of the first letter of his last name.
An adaption of Blood Wedding.
Grady consumes true crime episodes, exasperating Will; nephew WonderJay is mesmerized by video games; his parents, suburban hunter Hank and wound-up Marcie, smolder in thick air and guilt while June¹s ghost observes them all. This is a setting where psychic ability is a given, simultaneous scenes play out in 2 to 3 locations while a courtroom waiting game plays out. Aurora, Colorado was the July 2012 site of a dozen deaths of which the accused pleads insanity — 20 miles away for a single murder, loved ones reflect on a similar plea.
Red Letters is about a Chinese immigrant, Liang, who moves to Canada to seek his fortune and leaves his wife, Mei, in China with the hopes of bringing her over once he establishes himself. However due to the Canadian laws at that time, a head tax of $500 was required to bring any Chinese immigrant to Canada in the 1920’s. This was a high sum to pay and it took many years for Liang to save the tax money. When he can wait no longer, he borrows the rest from his understanding Laundry Busimess boss, but the Exclusion Act of 1923 made it impossible for him to bring his wife over. In desperation to see Mei again, Liang plans to leave for China; tragically, they are kept apart.

It's a wonderful time of the year.
Gaoth Dobhair are the talk of the country and those lads will party for the rest of the country too. They've followed up county glory with a first ever Ulster title and unsurprisingly, they dominate this team of the weekend.
They weren't the only story of another great club weekend though. Antrim's St Enda's claimed a historic football crown while Kilkenny dominated the hurling.
Unfortunately, these great club weekends can't last forever and next weekend will be the last one this year, with the boring O'Byrne Cups and Walsh Cups kicking off then.
Here were the performers of the weekend.
No man had a more entertaining game this weekend.
Started his Ulster intermediate final half forward and kicked two points from there. The Glengormley side's goalie was sent off late on and Scott stepped up to man the goals when they needed him.
Mullahorn did put a penalty past him but he did enough.
Mullahorn went down but they went down fighting and O'Reilly led the fight in the full back line, keeping his man scoreless.
The culmination of a fine club season for him in which he did his prospects for a Cavan senior call-up no harm at all.
Minded the house like a guard dog for the Cork champions in the Munster junior hurling final. Didn't grant Ballinameela so much as a sniff at goal.
Dromtarriffe were beaten, but their sticky corner back gave the Beuafort forwards no change the whole day long.
It's no surprise that Gaoth Dobhair's youngest starter is in the Irish Defence forces, such is the spirit and grit he brings to his game.
Tackled and worked like a dog in Omagh, but he's also well able to play.
Looks fresh and as fit as ever before. Everything goes through Michael Fennelly at centre back for Ballyhale.
Dominant in the half back line alongside Fennelly. Scored a raker of a point to set the tone and kept it up all the way through.
A force of nature in midfield for the Antrim side throughout their Ulster intermediate triumph over Mullahorn, scored a crucial goal too.
The biggest tourist attraction in Gaoth Dobhair is no longer Mount Errigal, it's on the end of Odhran MacNiallais left leg.
Led his side to Ulster glory, kicking four of the finest points when they needed them.
Hit nine points, including two from play in the Munster junior hurling final against Ballinameela on Sunday. Scored a few rakers of points when his side needed them most.
Kicked a goal and three crucial points in the Kerry club's extra-time victory over Cork's Dromtarrife in the Munster junior final and was a threat throughout.
As slick a forward as you'll see. Glides past defenders like they're not even there and is well able to finish too. Hit Ballyboden for 2-1 on Sunday, his second goal the score of the weekend.
Not a day over the age of 20 but was the best player on the pitch in the Leinster intermediate hurling final in Nowlan Park on Sunday. Scored four from play but also set up countless others with his killer first touch and lightning pace giving him time and space to play around with.
A star of the future in Kilkenny.
Whenever Gaoth Dobhair need to lift it, Cassidy comes to life. Whenever they need a score, their Mr. reliable scores it.
There wasn't a blade of grass he did not cover in Omagh. Was cruelly denied a glorious winner in normal time but that only drove him on in extra-time.

On day 9 of Celebrating Haelo, we’re focussing on our work with the Salford Together programme.
Salford Together is a partnership between Salford City Council, NHS Salford Clinical Commissioning Group, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, Salford Primary Care Together and Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
The partnership is working to transform the health and social care system in Salford by integrating health and social care, bringing the services of GPs, nursing, social care, mental health, community based services and voluntary organisations into a more joined up system that focuses on a person’s individual needs and provides them with the support to manage their own care.
Haelo began working with the Salford Together team in 2017, bringing expertise in evaluation to co-produce a clear protocol for a summative evaluation of the impact of the new organisation and care models. Haelo’s evaluation of Salford Together feeds into the wider evaluation of ‘Taking Charge’: The Greater Manchester Health & Social Care Strategic Plan.
Haelo has worked closely with the Salford Together programme leads and project teams over the past two years to provide evaluation that is both locally sensitive and provides information about the impact and outcomes of the changes made. Taking a ‘rapid cycle evaluation’ approach, Haelo’s evaluation team have supported the ongoing process of implementation by using feedback from the process and impact evaluation questions alongside “soft intelligence” from the project stakeholders on a regular basis to review and update the core components of the project. This approach has helped to inform strategic decisions in a timely manner, as well as providing an opportunity to record and respond to any unintended outcomes.
As part of the support, Haelo have also provided a range of education, training and mentoring of Project Managers delivering the improvement programmes, to build skills in evaluation within Salford Together.
The Haelo support for Salford Together will hopefully continue over the forthcoming year through to March 2020. | 2019-04-21T18:22:32 | http://www.haelo.org.uk/celebrating-haelo-salford-together/ |
Heading out for the just weekend can get pricey, and heading out longer than that can get to draining your savings account faster than a set of hungry teenagers.
It doesn’t have to cost you more to leave home than it does to stay at home.
Walmart – not only do they have great prices on the basics you’ll require like paper plates and cups, they’ll let you park in the back of the parking lot overnight.
I’m not suggesting you go camping for the weekend in the fun filled lands of the Walmarts. But if you just need to stop for a 6-8 hour nap on the road to the spot you really want to be at, then go right ahead and pull in and crash. Check out these tips for more details on how to do it for free.
BLM Camping is also free. Bureau of Land Management is the place to find open state land (in the USA) that you can stay on for free and Boondock it.
Not sure how to find which land is BLM Land and which is private property? Got you covered. Check this guide out to find free BLM land to camp on.
It’s a lot of fun and a LOT of campers do it!
When we first started camping, our grocery tab was more expensive for a 3-day weekend than an average 7 day week.
Why? We bought all kinds of “fun” and “convenient packs” of snacks and other things. We didn’t take anything from the fridge inside, so we always had to get small packs of basics. It was borderline ridiculous.
Now, after a few years under our belts we pack better. Our staple items go into Tupperware and we only do a late breakfast and dinner – cutting out a full lunch – which we usually skipped or at out anyways.
Our favorite friday-night-just-got-our-butts-here-finally is Hotdogs on the fire. Break out those marshmallow sticks and get to cooking.
If you could only plug in you furnace to shore hookups. That would be awesome wouldn’t it? But you can’t and I have yet to find a place that offers free Propane. So you are hauling around your double-tank LP’s and refilling them as you go. Stay out in the cold weather, and you’ll be running them more often.
This also allows you to setup your solar system in an efficient layout and run on it for a while too without having to move it around constantly.
You are simply going to burn through a bit more propane when it’s colder outside. You’ll be indoors more, and the heater will run more.
On the flip side, should you be plugged into a power source you can run the AC in hotter weather with using up your own gas. Only on shore power though, so if you are out and about and not plugged in you’ll need to run the rv generator more to cool down in extreme heat.
Plan accordingly. When you can use alternative sources to heat to wood/pellets or diesel, do that as well.
These are all over in the RV and Camping game. Ask around for the good ones in your area, and be sure to get more than 1 glowing recommendation from someone that has used the same association for more than 2 years.
Like BLM lands, national parks have discounted entry fees in the off season or even free. Just call and ask.
Be a good Boyscout and come prepared. Last minute expenses like another chair or water filter because yours is sitting in the garage rack up quick. “Be Prepared” is the Boyscout motto and the RV owners best trick of the trade.
The Complete A-Z Guide on RV Camping for beginners will help you with all the need-to-know basics on having a great time and not breaking and fixing things during your short time off.
Going out from the campsite to local events and tourist traps is another wallet shrinking activity. Museums have “free days” and theme parks run specials to help fill up their slower weekdays. Plan ahead and save some cheddar. | 2019-04-24T10:14:03 | https://bestsummerlife.com/rv-camping/money-tips/ |
There may be a new, more effective method for treating high-risk neuroblastoma, according to scientists at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and collaborators in the Cancer and Inflammation Program at NCI at Frederick. Together, the groups published a study describing a previously unrecognized protein on neuroblastoma cells, called GPC2, as well as the creation of a novel antibody-drug conjugate, a combination of a human antibody and a naturally occurring anticancer drug, that locates and binds to GPC2 in a highly efficient way.
A Poster Puzzler has been added to this year’s fall Take a Hike event at NCI at Frederick, giving participants a chance to exercise both body and mind—and win prizes—as they walk around the NCI at Frederick campus.
The NIH Bethesda campus recently welcomed several special guests for a presentation titled Given a Voice: Update on the NIH–Lacks Family Partnership. Henrietta Lacks’ grandchildren Jeri Lacks-Whye (who is also the Lacks family spokesperson) and David Lacks, Jr. came to speak with NIH Director Francis S. Collins, Ph.D., M.D. about the importance of protecting patients and their families.
The annual Take Your Child to Work Day event had many exciting activities, including the Poster Puzzler challenge. | 2019-04-23T06:30:28 | https://ncifrederick.cancer.gov/about/theposter/tags/features?page=1 |
Ok, here’s the issue….the blistex are a monthly deal of buy 2 and get 1.00 ECB. That didn’t happen. The vitamin C was supposed to ring up at 2.99 but since they are BOGO this week, they upped the price. Plus I was supposed to get 2.99 in ECBs back for each purchase of vitamin C. Didn’t get that either. And finally, I had figured out how much I was going to have to pay after coupons and before ECBs and it was under my ECB amount. I decided to add one of the .29 lip butters to it so it would be about .05 OOP. Well, the lip butter, the exact same one I got on wednesday, was in the clearance bin but rang up at 2.99! I told the cashier that it was in the clearance bin and last time I got it, it was .29. He said “oh ok, i’ll fix it for you.” Instead of charging me .29, he charged me 1.50! I didn’t notice until I got home. So, I ended up using 12.98 in ECBs but only got 8.99 back. I was supposed to get back at least 16. *sigh* Now I have to go return the vitamins and lip butter tomorrow. Like I have gas money for that. So angry! | 2019-04-20T13:24:50 | https://4hatsandfrugal.com/2008/03/cvs-deals-today_16.html |

This Evidence Check review examined the international evidence regarding effective management and care of people with severe and extreme behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia.
The review looked at what specialist dementia care units have been shown to be effective in managing symptoms of dementia, with a focus on identifying common elements and critical success factors.
The review found four units which demonstrated improvements in behavioural symptoms, and eight common elements, although evidence to support the latter was limited.
A lack of available process evaluations meant that evidence of success factors was also limited, despite being consistent with the implementation science literature. | 2019-04-21T11:04:51 | https://apo.org.au/node/117081 |
I wrote an article on the book of Esther many years ago. It is now time to revisit this wonderful book with new insights I got through some personal experiences fitting to what Esther has to tell us. First of all, before I move on, some background information concerning the book. The book of Esther exists in two versions: the short version coming from the Masoretic text in Hebrew and the longer version coming from the Septuagint, the translation of Old Testament into Greek, done before Christ. The longer version is followed by the Catholic and Orthodox traditions while the shorter version by the Protestant. The difference between the two versions is not affecting the heart of the story itself. It just adds some additional material such as for example the content of the letters of Artaxerxes or a prayer from Esther. In this article we will use the shorter version.
What strikes somebody when he reads Esther is that the name of God is missing from the book. And yet God is all around: we see Him in every page of the book, through His actions. And these actions, done under disguise, using circumstances and people beforehand prepared by the Lord, is not something we see only in Esther. We see this in other places too, such as the story of Joseph in Egypt for example. I have seen this also many times in my life and may be you have seen it in yours too. But let’s take the things from the beginning. The book starts with queen Vashti falling into disgrace (Esther 1) and the king looking for a new queen. This he finds in a beautiful Jewish woman called Esther, the heroin of the book (Esther 2). This is the first happening of this full of happenings book. Esther was raised by her cousin Mordecai. During the contest for who will be the queen, Mordecai happened to sit outside the king’s palace and to become aware of a plot, planned against the king. He informed Esther about it and she then informed the king in the name of Mordecai. The plotters were indeed found and executed. Nothing extraordinary was done to honor to Mordecai, other than his act being recorded in the annals of the Kingdom (Esther 2:19-23). This is the second happening, occurring before what we will read next.
After the above two events a very evil day came for Mordecai and the Jewish people. Haman, a wicked and arrogant man, comes into the scene. Haman wins the favor of the king and everybody bows down to him. All except Mordecai, who would not worship somebody else other than God. Haman cannot accept this. He is angry with Mordecai and decides to exterminate him. But for him this is not enough. He wants to exterminate the whole Jewish people too (Esther 3). So he tricks the king to sign the elimination of the Jewish people on a certain day. The threat is huge. The enemy, being the second to the king, seems invincible. Have you ever come to a position fighting an enemy who seems invincible? The real enemy is always Satan and he was also behind Haman. But this enemy does not come often in person against you. He usually comes through people who have given him access. Have you ever found yourself suffering unjustly from arrogant and full of pride people? Have you wondered where is God in such cases? Where is God when it hurts, as is the title of a popular book? Sometimes He seems to be nowhere. But it only seems so. For, returning to our case, God had done His homework long before Haman showed up. Nobody catches God by surprise. Be sure about it. The enemy you may be dealing with, may seem huge to you, but does not seem so to God. God knew about the enemy before and had already taken action. In the case of Esther, God did two strategic movements before Haman’s advent. First was to put Esther in the throne and second to have Mordecai witnessing the plot and saving the king, without being honored for this. With these two movements God protected, as we will see, His people, before even the threat came. This didn’t prohibit the threat from coming. It didn’t prohibit the afflictions from coming, the trouble to have to deal with an evil person as Haman. God has given freedom of will to people and they can attack the innocent. This does not mean that they will win, even if it temporarily seems otherwise.
When Haman got the degree of exterminating the Jews signed, he seemed unbeatable. He was second to the king. Who could resist him? So let’s see how the whole thing played out. Haman in his arrogance went and prepared a gallows to have Mordecai hanged (Esther 5:14). But God was on the move. In fact He never stopped to be on the move. That night – the night planned as last for Mordecai – the king could not sleep. And what did he do? What better than reading some stories from his annals! And guess which story came up? The story of the deliverance Mordecai brought to the king and for which he was never honored. The morning came and Haman rushed to the king to tell him about having Mordecai hanged on the gallows he had prepared (Esther 6:5). But the king started speaking first, asking him what he should do to honor somebody. Haman in his arrogance thought that the king wanted to honor him. So he gave an extravagant amount of things to be done for honoring somebody (Esther 6). Imagine his shock when he heard that he should do all these things to Mordecai!! So from running to hang the innocent he ends up bowing down to him!! This is our God!! Can you see it? Have you experienced it? Evil people are plotting against you. God does not seem anywhere. But it only seems so, for He is in fact everywhere. It may be that He does not show up clearly from the beginning. People like Haman seem to get their way. But it only seems so. For God does show up, many times in what people have planned to be your last night. The God of deliverance, the all-powerful and righteous Father shows up and who can stand against Him? So He showed up in what was supposed to be the last night of Mordecai, bringing forth the cards He had already prepared long time ago. Remember nobody can outrun God. Nobody takes Him by surprise and your enemies are no exception to this. So the last night for Mordecai was not quite the last! And the next day was the beginning of a fabulous day, being honored by the king and by his own enemy.
But what about the degree which the king under the guidance of Haman had signed? This was still valid. Furthermore Haman was still second in command. So then God brings out his second and strongest card, called Esther. She had become a queen for a “time like this” (Esther 4:14). She was strategically placed there, before Haman showed up, so that God could bring salvation through her to Israel when Haman did show up. God knows!! God cares!! And now was the time for His plan to play out fully. The queen decides to act and invites the king and Haman to a banquet. There she tells the king about the plot of Haman. The king gets mad at him, and when kings got mad at those times, the news were not good at all for the one they were mad at. Haman started begging the queen for his life, while the king left the room. When he came back he found Haman having thrown himself on the couch where Esther was reclining and he thought that he was about to assault her! (Esther 7:8). Then somebody close to him informed him that Haman was planning to have Mordecai hanged. The king didn’t need much more. He orders immediately the hanging of Haman in the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai (Esther 7). As the Scripture says the evil one falls himself into the trap he had planned for the righteous (Proverbs 28:10, Proverbs 26:27). Mordecai and the Jews were saved triumphally. But I want you to note the pattern: God didn’t work in the foreground by performing miracles for Haman or the king to see. His name is not even mentioned in the Hebrew version of Esther. Instead God worked in the background. And man, what work He did! Before Haman came into the scene He made Esther queen and he had Mordecai delivering the king from a life threatening plot, holding his honor for later. When Haman showed up, He didn’t prevent him from plotting and persecuting the Jews threatening even their existence. This is what people call existential threats. They are not simple threats. They are heavy extraordinary threats against your very existence, physical, professional, financial. This is the roaring lion of 1 Peter 5:8. He seems invincible but it is not. For only one is invincible: the Lord. As the deuterocanonical book of Judith says: “I will sing to my God a new song: O Lord, you are great and glorious, wonderful in strength, invincible.” (Judith 16:13). So Haman could plot against the Jews and especially against Mordecai. He had even gallows constructed to hang him there. Existential threat at its highest. BUT God showed up that night, that last night, hours before the planned execution. If you are under attack don’t think that God has abandoned you. He is there watching. He has already done his homework and preparation. Don’t hear the roaring lion. Stay in peace and see the deliverance of the Lord. It may even come in the last minute. So God showed up that night removing sleep from the king and bringing the right annals to him, the ones where the act of Mordecai and the good he had done to the king was recorded. Haman not only didn’t manage to hang Mordecai but he had to honor him on command of the king. Later he had to beg the queen for his life. But it was too late. He fell himself into the trap he had plotted for Mordecai. He died dishonored and the same happened to his family. His position was given to another. To whom? To Mordecai.
Take courage from this story. As God was at work in Esther so He is at work in your life. He has neither left you nor forsaken you (Hebrews 13:5). He has done His homework and nobody can take Him by surprise. Don’t hear the roaring lion. Hold on and wait on Him. He will for sure come even if it is at the last moment. | 2019-04-23T18:41:09 | http://www.jba.gr/Encouragement-from-the-book-of-Esther.htm |

BP4W and BP05 heads flow - Miata Turbo Forum - Boost cars, acquire cats.
Found this recently on another forum (mx5nutz), and since it contains some good info/measurements, I thought I would share here for future reference as well. All credits go to na8cgee over there!
This project is to see how much flow/power I can make with thorough testing of the cylinder heads via a flow bench (which I am currently designing/looking to build shortly).
So to start the project off, I sourced a BP05 (93-98 1.8 mk1) and BP4W cylinder head. These were stripped of their valves on two cylinders and I used a horizontal bandsaw to make cuts across the ports. The end result was good, it helps me to visualise what I want to achieve, shows me the thickness of the casting, allows me to take accurate measurements and also leaves 1 individual cylinder to perform porting/development on.
There are many differences on the inlet side of the casting between the two but the exhaust side is very similar. Everything being discussed beyond this point is a comparison between stock castings.
There are three main differences on the inlet side.
The first is the port angle to the valve: the BP05 has a port angle of 12 degrees vs the BP4W at 17 degrees. The higher the angle, the more the port ‘see’s’ the valve which as a general rule means more flow.
The second is the port floor, the BP05 head has a lower port floor and is fairly flat/un-shaped vs the BP4W which has a higher floor and is shaped to improve flow to each cylinder. This goes in the BP4W’s favour as it should help improve flow at low valve lifts/low port speed.
The third is the port shape into the bowl transition / short side radius. The BP05 head has significantly better shape in this area compared to the BP4W, which will help to evenly spread the airflow around the whole valve circumference. The short side radius on the BP4W is pretty horrible with no real radius at all.
Not too many differences between the two castings on the exhaust side. You can see the bean counters became a factor when casting the BP4W as there is significantly less material around the port (This is most evident around the port exit near the manifold flange). The castings are not great, significant restriction from the valve guide area and both SSR (Short side radius) are pretty poor.
My rough/guess ported BP4W made 217cfm at .400" (10mm) lift, I know this head has achieved good power on my current engine so as a minimum I want to at least achieve this but hopefully exceed it. I'm fairly confident I can achieve the same peak flow at the same lift regardless of the castings I use, but its the area under the curve that i believe can be improved on the most.
You'll see in the pictures some black pen marks on the inlet side of the ports, the solid lines is the safety margin (This is a 2mm line that I can port upto but still retain the 2mm material thickness I believe is required). the dotted lines is my rough guess to how I want the modified port to look although this does not include the epoxy I will be adding into the port, it just facilitates it.
1) SSR - the radius on the BP4W is bad, you can see in the pictures its almost a cliff edge rather than a radius!
Here's an interesting one though, the BP4W has significantly better port angle of entry. I don't yet understand how significant this will be but my basic understanding is a higher port angle = better flow around the whole valve diameter. BUT, is a better SSR worth more than a better port angle? I don't know but flow bench testing will tell me!
With the inlet ports of each head casting cut in half, I wanted to find how much material I could safely remove from the port roof whilst retaining enough material to be of solid construction. This meant a lot of grinding, somewhat crude but got the job done. In the end I found that the BP05 casting has less thickness about 1 inch into the port on the roof, to the point where I thought I had left 2mm of material I actually broke through (glad this happened on my test head!).
This ability to improve the port roof, I think, will allow me to build a better short side radius on the port floor by adding material whilst retaining the port cross sectional area I need to make power. This is just applying theory at this stage but hopefully in the coming months I can prove that theory with improved low lift flow.
I think the BP4W head with its potential 25 degree port angle will be the better of the two with the figures I have at this stage, but the flow bench will prove/disprove it!
This part was very easy and quite fun, the first step was to remove the valves and clean the inlet tract with brake cleaner to remove as much carbon as possible.
As you can see, the BP05 has a much better short side radius. It’s actually better to say the BP4W doesn’t really have a sort of short side radius lol. More like a cliff edge into the valve!
Finally the last job was to cut each mould into sections to compare the cross sectional area of each section against each other.
They were both cut up at the same points for comparison reasons.
I have taken measurements of the CSA of each moulding and it’s quite interesting the differences between the two. I haven’t yet quite completed my 3rd goal which was performing the calculations, I still need a good few hours to sit down and go through it all.
On another front, my flow bench design is coming together, follows a few guides including Dtec (Google it there’s an online PDF you can view/print - it’s very good) and I’m following David Vizard’s books as well which are also good.
So with the Christmas period been and gone, I’ve made some good progress with my flow bench build.
The flow bench itself contains four 2 stage vacuum motors (the type from a Henry wet/dry vac), using 2 digital Manometers and calibrated orifice holes. It also uses 3 different size valves to bleed off air to achieve the correct test pressure as required.
The build itself follows the same principle of the DTEC bench but I’m using digital manometers rather than an actual water manometer. I’ve done this mainly for easy of install and improved accuracy.
I’ve tested it to in excess of 50 inches of water (digital manometers ran out of range!) and it the box didn’t collapse which was good. The bore adapter was fun to make, it’s just MDF and a 83mm ID aluminium bore pipe which is the same stroke height as the actual engine. It also used the head bolt holes to align the bore as per the head gasket would do.
Everything works but I need to make a valve opener so I can test at various lifts, I’ll use a manual height adjuster and a dial gauge to measure the distance - shouldn’t be too long till I can start messing around and making some gains!
I've performed in excess of 30 tests on the BP4W test head, ranging from the standard setup to the outright bonkers ram it full of putty and see what happens!
I'll share with you some of the interesting comparisons that I found when messing with these heads.
These were relatively low numbers but remember flow benches are like dyno's to some degree, its the Delta between two tests which is the most important here. or in other terms my flow bench seems to be a bit of a heart breaker!
So this basically killed the low lift flow of the head but assisted at the top end (Although only above 0.4 lift which is my max cam lift at 10mm). So without replacing the 3-4mm of material on the port floor I was at a loss with this move, although it did show that raising the roof of the port was improving the flow at the high lift areas.
This setup seems to be a good balance between increased port size but retaining low lift flow. this is also without any additional putty in the port to recover the 3-4mm port entry so I knew I could find some additional low lift flow by filling that area in/shaping it accordingly., maybe even more additional flow across the test sweep? who knows!
I'm really happy with these results, mainly because this is using the stock valve seat angles and stock valves, just shows how much of a good increase can be achieved, but I reckon there is a lot more available - I just need to find it!
So I approached a local engineering/engine shop near to me, Lockside Engineering and started to talk about my goals/what I wanted to achieve. They came on board with me and we began the process of choosing the valve seat width & 3 angles for the inlet side and backcutting the inlet valves for testing on my flow bench!
Without going into too much detail, I chose very similar angles because I wanted to see how much gain would be seen by going to a thinner valve seat (But still within OEM Manual limits). I could have gone thinner than 1mm but then reliability/valve sealing comes into question which is something I wasn't interested in answering!
The inlet valves were back cut at 30 degrees on both tests.
Well hello low lift flow gains! As expected the 1mm valve seat width has allowed for a large increase in low lift flow compared to the 1.1mm valve seat. More so than I expected if I'm honest, but I wanted to see how much of a trade off would be to have the extra re-assurance/durability of the additional seat width vs more performance with the smallest width seat.
The angles I chose were based on a lot of research, they were the most 'accepted' standard for improving low lift flow with heads with a poor short side radius. If I'm honest, there will be additional gains by using different angles I'm sure of it, but at a cost of £40 to test each 3 angle combination, I had to take a calculated best guess before choosing them! I wish I had the money/time to test out some other theories I have from my research but I don't!
Studying the above graph, it shows that the port itself is the limitation beyond 0.35 lift (above 8.9mm lift) which makes a lot of sense considering the max OEM cam valve lift is around 9mm lift for the BP4W head if my memory serves me correctly.
The BP's low rod ratio rears it's head again as a constraint in that the BP is very sensitive to port velocity. Hog the ports out so it makes magic numbers on the flow bench, lose velocity at mid lift and you are guaranteed to make less power than a stock head.
Makes me wonder if all this effort was worth it.
AFAIK no, but if an update pops up, I will repost it here. I know that as-is it is only half the picture, but it was an interesting read for me nonetheless. | 2019-04-19T13:11:50 | https://www.miataturbo.net/engine-performance-56/bp4w-bp05-heads-flow-99878/ |

The photo is what they looked like when I came upon them. (I still don’t have a macro lens, so it’s not a very sharp image, but I wanted to share the experience.) It’s my first time witnessing this. I find nature so fascinating. I love exploring the earth. So much goes on around us - so much life is being lived -yet we’re often so busy or preoccupied that we don’t take notice of the many little things that make life special. For me, this was like my very own nature show. What a treat! | 2019-04-25T13:55:43 | https://www.livehonestly.com/old-blog/category/butterfiles |

The vote is expected Monday, after a majority at a committee meeting favor building one shelter rather than several smaller ones at various locations.
The Portland City Council is expected to vote Monday on a resolution that would formally direct city staff to come up with a plan for a large new city-run homeless shelter while working with nonprofits on other shelters to serve groups with special needs.
The upcoming vote comes after a contentious meeting Tuesday of the council’s Health and Human Services and Public Safety Committee, which was attended by the full council. It was clear that committee members were split between favoring the single city-run shelter or several smaller shelters scattered throughout Portland. Most councilors said they were more likely to support a single city-run shelter.
At one point, City Councilor Belinda Ray, who leads the committee, asked for an informal straw poll to make clear that six councilors were favoring a single city shelter. Several social service providers have said in emails to Ray that they agree a larger, consolidated shelter would.
Mayor Ethan Strimling and City Councilor Brian Batson are pushing for multiple city shelters.
Batson, who serves on the committee, said he will work on his own proposal to build two city-run shelters: a service-rich facility off-peninsula and another on the peninsula that could rely on external community services. He hopes to introduce the proposal to the committee before it presents formal recommendations for a shelter design and location to the full council, which may not happen until early next year.
“I think we could easily keep the option open for two,” said Batson, whose district includes land next to the city-owned Barron Center that was previously recommended by city staff for a 200-bed shelter, soup kitchen, health clinic and support services.
The argument about which service model to pursue is the latest twist in a long and complicated conversation that will likely dominate the council agenda for 2019 as it tries to replace the Oxford Street Shelter, an outdated and overcrowded facility that has operated in Bayside for more than 30 years. The aging converted apartment building can shelter 154 adults on floor mats, but routinely sends people to overflow shelters.
Councilors expressed support Tuesday for a new staff proposal to build one consolidated city shelter while also working with two nonprofits, Avesta Housing and Opportunity Alliance, to create specialized facilities for adults 55 and older who need assisted living and for the mentally ill. Staff believes the nonprofit partnerships would allow the city to focus on a 150-bed emergency adult shelter with additional services such as meals and health care.
But Batson raised the possibility of an additional partnership that could serve some of the city’s homeless population and reduce the need for a large shelter. Batson said officials at Preble Street told him the nonprofit was not aware that the city was seeking partners, but that it is willing to help, preferably with a shelter for women.
Jennings said Wednesday that acting Preble Street Executive Director Donna Yellen spoke to him about opening a 40- to 50-person women-only shelter, but they didn’t discuss what the nonprofit would need from the city.
Ray said Tuesday she doesn’t believe the city’s planning for its own shelter should be contingent on Preble Street. In addition to recently reducing hours at its day shelter for financial reasons, Ray said, the nonprofit already finances three supportive housing developments for chronically homeless people and has been talking about opening a women’s shelter since at least 2015.
Councilors grew frustrated at the end of the nearly four-hour meeting Tuesday. The three-member committee was split on how to proceed, with Ray advocating for a single city shelter, and Batson looking for two city shelters. The third member, Councilor Pious Ali, was inclined to give Batson more time to explore a two-shelter model.
But with the entire council attending, Ray’s straw poll showed six councilors in support of exploring a single city shelter. Councilor Justin Costa was undecided. Councilor Kim Cook said Wednesday she is working on a resolution to introduce at Monday’s council meeting formally directing staff to explore locations and other aspects associated with a single shelter. But Batson suggested that would circumvent the committee’s jurisdiction.
Ray, on the other hand, said she hopes the consensus will finally move the conversation forward, after years of delays. She said the council has consistently supported a single-shelter model over scattered-site models over the years and on Tuesday read excerpts of letters from social service providers, including Milestone Foundation, Shalom House, Through These Doors, Greater Portland Health and Community Housing of Maine, who believe a consolidated shelter would be better for clients and a more efficient use of limited resources.
Over the summer, staff proposed a new 200-bed shelter with an on-site soup kitchen and health clinic next to the city-owned Barron Center near the Westbrook line, which drew fierce opposition from the Nason’s Corner neighborhood. The committee loosened previous restrictions on potential sites, opening up all areas of the city to a potential shelter site.
City staff have mapped over 30 potential sites for one or more new shelters. But they are not conducting a thorough analysis or releasing specific addresses to the public until they receive additional guidance from the council.
A District Road site near the Portland International Jetport that was suggested by Nason’s Corner residents appears to be on the map, as are a parking area near the Casco Bay Bridge, the Portland Ocean Terminal to the Amethyst lot on the eastern waterfront, Dougherty Field in Libbytown, the Portland Technology Park and land near the city’s public works campus on Canco Road. | 2019-04-20T00:45:36 | https://www.pressherald.com/2018/11/14/portland-council-expected-to-support-building-single-homeless-shelter-to-replace-aging-oxford-street-facility/ |

AGRO-VETERINARY NIGERIA : Agribusiness, Agriculture,Cassava Flakes And Veterinary Medicine.: Workers at industrial farms carry drug-resistant bacteria associated with livestock.
Workers at industrial farms carry drug-resistant bacteria associated with livestock.
Workers at industrial farms carry drug-resistant bacteria associated with livestock. A new study found drug-resistant bacteria associated with livestock in the noses of industrial livestock workers in North Carolina but not in the noses of antibiotic-free livestock workers. The drug-resistant bacteria examined were Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as "Staph," which include the well-known bug MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).New Staph strains are emerging in people who have close contact with livestock animals and for this reason have been given the name livestock-associated Staph. While everyone in the study had direct or indirect contact with livestock, only industrial workers carried antibiotic-resistant Staph with multiple genetic characteristics linked to livestock. Many industrial livestock operations raise animals in large conferment buildings and use antibiotics, including non-therapeutically in animals' feed and water to promote their growth. Previous studies have detected strains of drug-resistant S. aureus from livestock, first among farm workers, and subsequently in hospital and community settings in Europe. S. aureus can cause a range of illnesses in humans, from minor to life-threatening skin, bloodstream, respiratory, urinary and surgical site infections. Like most illnesses caused by bacteria, S. aureus infections are treated with antibiotics. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some Staph cannot be killed by antibiotics, meaning they are resistant. | 2019-04-24T07:54:47 | https://veterinarymedicineechbeebolanle-ojuri.blogspot.com/2017/12/workers-at-industrial-farms-carry-drug.html |
It is essential, when considering a car title loan, to look at all elements of the decision. First you want to determine why you need or want the loan. Part of this will involve addressing your financial situation and how much you can afford to obtain. This means you need to know the terms of the loan, interest, and how much you can afford to pay every month. You will also want to see what interest rates are for the loan. Higher interest rates mean you will be paying more back through the term of your loan. It is imperative to know these details and have a financial plan before getting a loan.
There are countless reasons for taking an auto title loan. Maybe you are buying a new car and need to finance the purchase. Do you have a car to trade in or sell that will provide partial funds for the new vehicle? Maybe you own a car with available equity but need money for other reasons. Loans can be an useful tool in your life, for countless of reasons. However, the loan should fit your needs so you are able to comfortably satisfy the loan. This will help you rebuild your credit in healthy manner. If you have “No Credit” or “Bad Credit”, you need a company that will work with you. Be careful, some companies like to prey on customers in this situation.
Is Having Credit Issues Problematic?
Large banks often have so many clauses to there lending terms that it is challenging for most people to qualify. Let’s face it, not everybody has strong credit. Despite the years you may have been a customer with any bank, they are often hesitant to loan if you have less than perfect credit. Not to mention all the paperwork and headaches you have to go through to get the loan. When a financial emergency arises in your life, the last thing you want to do is spend days filling out paperwork, only to be denied. Many people think the only place to get a loan is through a bank. This is simply not true anymore. In fact, some banks do not even offer automobile title loans.
How can I qualify for a Automobile Title Loan?
The internet provides you with numerous options when searching for car title loans. It is vital to know what you need out of the loan, and all of the loan terms. When dealing with loan companies you want to align with companies that are fair and honest about their loan terms. This means transparency with all parts of the loan process. Companies like Loans of Florida work to make sure their customers are aware of all the terms of the loan. Interest rates are constantly changing. Even so, you want to compare rates among companies to ensure you are getting the best rates. Getting a good interest rate is great, but if you are in a financial emergency, you need a company that is going move quickly. This is where online lending companies can differ greatly. Ideally an online lender should be able to close quickly, give you a fair interest rate, provide funds quickly, and be honest about the details. Although companies like this can be hard to find, they do exist. Look no further, Loans of Florida is here to help you with any car title loan questions you may have. | 2019-04-20T11:28:13 | http://seoweb.kazeo.com/taking-on-a-car-title-loan-a135669604 |

This dessert is my new obsession y’all. I originally fell in love with it when I first had it at a restaurant in Charleston called Indaco. It was part of the group that I worked for while I was down there and they always took such good care of me and one night sent out a dessert called the Almond Budino. It has been a love affair since.
Well I don’t live in Charleston anymore and I’m not sure the timeline to getting our Indaco here in Charlotte so I took matters into my own hands.
This is a 3 (4 if you make the homemade whipped cream) part job and you’ll need to start a day in advance but I’m telling you with every fiber of my being that it is worth it. I’d sell my first born for an endless supply of Almond Budino. Thankfully I can make it so I don’t have to….
The shortbread dough is tough and will try your patience a little. Stand your ground.
The Budino takes on some cornstarch in the form of a slurry (liquid+thickening agent such as flour or cornstarch) it’s going to act wonky for a minute when it starts to thicken. Stand your ground.
Judas created the process of making caramel sauce, but I promise you, if I can do it, you can. Stand. Your. Ground.
You can do this whole recipe in a day. I just chose not to. Well, most of it. I’d still let the budino set up overnight.
you can leave these out but come on, why would you??
I put in about ½ tbsp because I like a strong almond taste.
Can you tell I’ve burned a lot of caramel?
Cream the butter, the sugar, and the salt together.
Add the egg in gradually.
Fold in the flour and cocoa powder then add the pistachios if you got fancy.
Mix all of the ingredients well and place in the fridge.
Once the dough is firmed up, shape into a tube form and slice (like the easy break and bake tubes) 5mm thick.
Preheat your oven to 374 degrees F, no that isn’t a typo, there was some conversion done from Celsius. Be mindful of your oven for this y’all.
Bake for about 12 minutes. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Combine 1 cup of your 720 grams of milk and your cornstarch together in a bowl. Whisk until combine.
Note: You’ll need to whisk it again before incorporating it later. Cornstarch settles at the bottom if left alone.
In a separate bowl, combine sugar and eggs and whisk like hell until they reach a frothy pale color.
Simmer remaining milk over low heat. Once it begins to simmer, ladle about ½ cup of the hot milk into your egg mixture, stirring constantly so not to cook the eggs. Repeat this step 2 more times.
This is called tempering your eggs. It is bringing them up to the warm temperature so they can easily be incorporated into the hot milk mixture without scrambling.
Slowly pour your egg mixture into the simmering milk, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Add your cornstarch/milk mixture to the pot next, continuously stirring until it reaches a pudding like consistency. It will coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the pot from the heat and add your almond extract, salt, and butter and stir until the butter is completely melted.
Strain mixture into a bowl and refrigerate uncovered until the steam subsides, then cover with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge overnight.
Mise en place your ingredients. This is especially important for making caramel because it happens so fast and once it goes it GOES. Level of focus: Ninja.
Over medium-low heat, pour your sugar into your pan and swirl occasionally. It will take a little more time to melt but it is worth it to not burn your sugar instantly.
As it begins to melt and develop a color start pushing it around with a rubber spatula. Once it is all melted down and you’re getting that pretty amber color, remove your pan from the heat and stir in your butter. It’ll sizzle so don’t panic.
Stand your ground. It doesn’t incorporate easily. Keep stirring.
When about half of your butter has been incorporated or when you just can’t stand the monotony anymore, add in your cream and fleur de sel. Again, stand your ground. It may sizzle a little more. Keep stirring. You got this.
Keep stirring. When it is all incorporated, run through a fine mesh strainer in case you have any leftover chunks of sugar.
You can refrigerate this up to a week, week and a half but that may be pushing it depending on when your cream was set to expire.
To heat and loosen back up, just put your jar in hot water.
If you don’t know how to do this by yourself, I really can’t help you.
Pipe your Budino into chilled espresso cups or whatever kind of vessel your heart desires. I like the smaller portions personally, but hey, do you.
Crumble some shortbread on top, maybe stick some shards in the pudding to get a modern art vibe.
Gently spoon on your warm caramel sauce.
Top with a little kiss of whipped cream. | 2019-04-19T09:02:48 | https://sarahstastyfork.com/2018/12/22/almond-budino-babies/ |
Three-row crossovers are booming in the luxury auto market. So at this weekend's series of auto events in California, Infiniti is unveiling its newest concept: the seven-seat JX.
As practical as they are, minivans just don't appeal to those looking for luxury transportation. And recently the lure of big, roomy body-on-frame luxury SUVs has been waning too. Families who visited the Infiniti showroom and needed the room of a minivan or large SUV but wanted car-like driving dynamics have been out of luck, until now.
Infiniti America's vice president Ben Poore says that three-row crossovers are one of the hottest segments in the luxury market. So next spring, Infiniti will launch its seven-passenger, three-row JX crossover. The brand just debuted this concept version of its newest creation at the Pebble Beach Weekend in California.
Infiniti says the JX will offer class-leading roominess. And, because it's an Infiniti, the JX will pioneer a new technology called Backup Collision Intervention. The carmaker says that if the system detects objects crossing the car's path, it will brake automatically.
The JX will arrive with Infiniti's new Personal Assistant, a concierge service with 24-hour access to assistance. The service will be free for the first year. Under the hood, the JX will pair a V6 to a CVT. And power will be routed to either the front wheels or all four.
Look for the production JX at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. | 2019-04-21T16:43:30 | https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a6834/first-look-2012-infiniti-jx-seven-seat-crossover-concept/ |

A high-profile panel of trade buyers and writers recently whittled down, by blind-tasting/judging, a selection of so-called icon wines from sunny Languedoc and Roussillon, in a tasting organised by the Sud de France promotional organisation.
The tasting shows how much real character and individuality can be found in the south of France – a region more commonly known for its everyday, often varietally-labelled, Vins de Pays wines.
Vins de Pays can offer super value for money, but not all the wines produced under the Vins de Pays label are so humble. Some are made from low yielding old vines with the level of care bestowed on the highest quality wine. Also the rules allow more flexibility of grape variety choice than appellation wine, which means the likes of cabernet sauvignon can be blended with syrah and carignan.
The appellation wines, such as Corbières, St. Chinian, and Minervois are generally made from a core group of varieties including grenache and syrah, with greater or smaller dollops of others including mourvèdre and carignan.
Of the top 40 wines selected, here’s my top 25.
Creamy linden blossom and citrus. Smooth texture, good density of zesty citrus with fennel notes. Nice concentration. Good.
Hints of gun smoke alongside lemon curd. Quite full bodied and concentrated. Some real character and width to this wine. Tasty.
Gentle toasted nut aromas, smooth, butter-cream attack with attractive slippery texture, balance and integration. Nicely put together with some class at this level.
Fresh, melon, and baked yellow plums, lovely primary fruit flavours, white and yellow fruits without being tropical. Good concentration of fruit – white nectarine, apricot. Delicious.
Funky, sweet-savoury lift to the nose, soft, round palate, with soft melon notes. Bags of individuality and personality in this rounded, quite full bodied wine, thought with a steely, nutty background of structure. Good. And unusual.
Toasty, spiced and roasted almonds on the nose, sweet attack of lanolin and dried honeyed melon. Rounded and soft palate with plenty of flavour intensity, and savoury allspice finish. Full bodied, dry and softly structured.
Apricot and honey aroma, primary fruits, lifted, elegant and freshly intense. Perfume lingers all through the palate length, weighing pleasantly on the tongue. Fresh and fleshy all at the same time. Far too easy to glug for such a big yet elegant wine. Long finish.
Violet perfume with baked cherries and redcurrants, elegant with tarry note to back palate. Good value for what it delivers. Medium bodied, light dry-ripe tannins offering backbone. Finishes with the violet perfume. Good.
Meaty, with fresh-stewed red berries, and aromatic tar core. Medium bodied with sweet ripe fruit, focused on the primary and with complexing tar and black pepper spices. Savoury hints add further complexity. Very nice.
Enticing smoked black pepper and parma violet on the nose. Sweet palate attack with smoothness and bonfire smoke aromatics in the core. Freshly structured, aromatic and elegant. Really classy syrah with a silky-textured profile more often associated in the northern Rhone. Very nice.
Smoke and burnt rubber nose, mulling spices and redcurrant jelly speared with supple tannin support. Supple and structured, with plenty of fruit flesh to adorn the supple frame – nice.
Tar and wood-smoke. Bramble crumble on the mid palate betrays the lush sweet fruit and supple, plentiful tannins. Immediately appealing and youthful. Big softie.
Aromatic tar and violets, some restraint on the palate, smoothly textured, fine tannins, with black pepper and plum profile, relaxed refinement. Silky texture. Very nice indeed.
Sweet, raspberry jam, super-smooth texture, sweet tannins, savoury spice mid palate, dense, savoury core with dark flesh clothing. Almost a hint a porty in fruit flavour – dense, brambly, fresh-jam. Very nice. Well structured for all that sweet fruit.
Cinnamon, clove, allspice. Savoury and meaty nose, and palate attack. Dark loganberry and blueberry complexity. Big boned and fleshed and delicious for that. Meaty, sweetly-chewy and youthful, and beginning to develop. Good.
Medium pale cherry colour. Fresh redcurrants and strawberry, but not overtly varietal despite those fruits. A little soft bellied for benchmark pinot noir. Nice fruit intensity and volume, but don’t expect the profile of either classic or new world pinot noir. Nice wine.
Dark, steak, liquorice and aniseed nose, meaty and spicy, super-smooth tannins, blackcurrant concentrate. Big, fat, sweet fruit. Alcohol burns a little at the end. characterful. Lacks a little elegance, but I suspect it wasn’t looking for any.
Enchanting violet perfume, intense, enticing. Seductively smooth, silky texture, really quite classy definition and intensity. Understated complexity with layered fruit and spice, long in-palate length and finish. Very good. .
Enticingly sweet-spiced soft black fruits, sweet attack, lush and gently supported by sweet tannins in a full bodied whole. Brooding bramble and loganberries in itscore. Still with freshening acidity so nothing falls flabby. Porty-bramble flavour finish with youthful dry-ripe tannins. Good.
There’s a funky, meaty savoury thing going on with this aroma. The attack is fresh, and of medium body with attractive, somehow elegant poise despite big flavours. Savoury, dry spice, and bramble depth to the fruit. Lush sweet fruit, in big and bold, but not brutish style. Unashamedly big.
Almost gravelly, lead pencil sort of aroma, with supple, finely textured palate entry. Ripe fruit, not super-ripe, still held in frame by the chalky tannins and fresh acidity. Some sophistication and definition here in what is still a big wine, but well proportioned. Savoury spice to finish. Nice.
Wood smoke and dark berry fruit. Remarkably little age showing on the palate which is still lush and sweet, invisibly supported by integrated tannins. Just a hint of fruitcake on the back palate gives a clue to some development. Delicious, if a tad pricey.
Dark, mahogany with amber rim. Walnuts, wood, wood-smoke, just-burnt toffee, big complexity. Coffee and chocolate give a not so sweet perception, though sweetly textured. Delicious, concentrated and elegant. A digestif with which to put the world to rights. Long and very good.
Mas Bruguière L’Arbouse 2008 looks a bargain given that it retails at €10 in France. We’ve bought it most years since the mid-1990s and it ages remarkably well as it usually has good acidity.
Thanks very much Graham. I’d clearly got the wrong information. I’ve double-checked and the price is £10.95, which still sounds pretty decent value, given the UK’s duty regime, if it’s retailing at €10 in France. I’ve updated the post. | 2019-04-25T00:23:02 | http://www.winewisdom.com/articles/regional-profiles/serious-stuff-from-the-south-of-france/ |

Broad-based low-cost index funds are a staple part of most investors’ portfolios. They give investors exposure to an entire stock index with low expenses ratios.
Younger people that are starting their first retirement accounts at work should consider dollar cost averaging into a low-cost stock index fund for a long period of time to build their retirement savings.
The first index funds were created by John Bogle at Vanguard who worked closely with Burton Malkiel, the author of “A Random Walk Down Wall Street.” Their theory was to invest in the overall market, keep the costs low and don’t try to beat the market.
Index funds have grown enormously in popularity since the first one was created in 1976. Exchange traded funds or ETFs were first started in the 1990s and the first ones were also based on stock indexes. The initial ETFs were the Diamond and the Spyder, the Diamond is based on the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Spyder is an S&P 500 index fund.
Most index funds are weighted by market cap. Market cap means market capitalization and is calculated by multiplying the share price of the stock by the number of shares outstanding. So, if you purchase an S&P 500 index fund, you’ll have exposure to the 500 largest companies in the United States, but you won’t have an even amount in each stock. Since the funds use market cap for the weighting, you’ll have more money invested in the largest stocks than the smaller ones.
The largest companies in the U.S. right now include companies like Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook, Johnson & Johnson and Microsoft. With an index fund investment, you’ll have more exposure to the mega cap stocks and technology stocks in general.
An alternative is to use what’s referred to as an equal weighted fund. With an equal weighted index fund, your money will be spread out evenly across all the stocks that make up the index, giving the investor more exposure to the companies in the index with a smaller market cap.
Diversification is one of the best tools investors can use to manage risk. The old saying, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” makes sense. If you drop the basket, all the eggs could break. By spreading risk, you can lower it.
Equal weighted funds can be a good way to help diversify a little more. | 2019-04-26T16:07:52 | https://www.sierrasun.com/news/business/market-beat-the-market-capitalization-of-index-funds/ |

We stock a fantastic range of roses including, patio roses, climbing and rambling roses and bush roses.
We use local growers and national growers including Whartons and David Austin Roses.
Choose a rose for colour, style or scent, they always look stunning in the garden!
The best time for planting roses is in the Autumn and we normally have a good selection from mid October. if you would like to choose a rose in bud or flower then visit the garden centre in June & July for a lovely array of blooming roses.
We stock all the main favourites and a complete range of special occasion roses including Anniversary, Birthday, Retirement, Remembrance and Wedding.
Roses will grow in any soil, however they will perform better in a sandy soil. If you have clay soil, it is best to dig it over and then break it up with a good quality compost or well-rotted farmyard manure. Mix it thoroughly. Roses like a sunny position, so choose a site that gets at least 50% of the day in the sun. If you are replacing old roses with new roses remove as much of the old soil as possible and replace with soil that hasn’t grown roses before (the old soil will grow anything else apart from roses). Dig in Rootgrow when planting, it is a natural product called mycorrhizal fungi that promotes stronger, healthier and faster root growth. This in turn will allow better feeding, more resistance to pest and diseases and better drought tolerance.
Roses that are container grown can be planted at any time of year as long as the ground isn’t frozen or waterlogged. Dig a hole that is slightly bigger than the pot it came in and place a handful of bone meal at the bottom of the hole, mixing in with the soil. Water the rose in it's pot thoroughly before planting. Remove from its pot and place the rose in the ground and backfill with soil that has been enriched with good quality compost, manure or a rose and shrub compost.
Make sure the graft of the rose (the knot that connects the bush part to the roots) is at, or slightly above soil level. Water well.
Pruning is probably the part of rose growing that most people fell daunted by. It’s fairly easy to do, the rule of thumb is there should be a spring prune and an autumn prune. Bush roses (patio, floribunda, shrub and hybrid teas) spring prune should be prune out 1/3 of the original size in a frost-free period from mid-February to mid-March. Prune out any weak, weedy, damaged, dead or diseased growth. In the autumn, roses can be trimmed back after they finish flowering in November to stop wind-rock and root damage.
As for the pruning itself, use a pair of clean, sharp secateurs and always cut the stem above an outward face bud. Make the cut at a 45 degree and sloping away from the centre of the plant. This will ensure that any rain water will run off the stem onto the ground instead of the crown of the plant. Try to keep all of the growth on the edge of the bush keeping the centre clear. Aim for a goblet shape. This will allow plenty of light and air to flow through the centre of the plant, which will reduce pest and diseases.
Climbing and rambling roses are great for growing a wall or fence. They make a beautiful backdrop and help to cover unsightly boundaries. They are perform at their best when trained to grow horizontally (fanned out). To achieve this, stretch wires out along the wall/fence attach to vine eyes or nails, and bend the rose branches along the wire, attaching it to the wire with string or twine. The first wire should be around 60cm (2’) above soil level and further wires at 45cm (18”) intervals.
When the rose starts to grow, the stems trained horizontally will throw up vertical stems. Use the strongest vertical stems arising from the base and /or the middle of the plant to train along higher wires to create another tier if required. Prune the remaining vertical stems to 1cm or above the nearest bud from the horizontal stem during September and October. By following this, you will avoid an unsightly tall plant with a few flowers at the top and nothing below. The rose should produce flowers from the base to the tip in abundance.
As a general rule, use climbers on walls, fences, pillars and pergolas. Ramblers will grow into hedges, trees over large arches and may also be used on pillars and pergolas. Climbers tend to repeat flower, whereas ramblers tend to flower once.
To get the best from your roses they need to be fed at regular intervals.
A clay soil will need the addition of fertiliser twice a year, in March (after pruning) and after the first flush of flowers is over (usually June/July). The best fertilisers to use are Toprose, Fish, blood and Bone, Growmore or Chicken Manure Pellets.
A sandy or chalky soil will need feeding monthly from March to end-July – a small handful of fertiliser will suffice.
A water soluble fertiliser can also be applied fortnightly such as Miraclegro or Phostrogen. This will increase the vigour of the plants and in turn result in an abundance of flowers.
Mulching is a good practice; garden compost, or well-rotted manure will keep the moisture in the ground, help feed the rose and keep weeds down. This can be done in the autumn or spring. Be generous with a mulch, it is most effective when laid to a depth of 5cm (2”).
Roses will tolerate a dry soil but will perform best in a moist soil.
If the ground is dry, water well occasionally. Little and often watering is best avoided. This will encourage small feeder roots to grow at the surface of the soil and be in danger of scorching or drying out more frequently. Giving your roses a deluge watering (lots of water) once a week if more beneficial. It encouraged the roots to grow deeper and search for water. Rose growers find watering in the morning or keeping the leaves dry reduces incidence of disease. A good rule of thumb is send them to bed dry, wake them up with a drink.
Every well-seasoned gardener has their own opinion and theories of keeping pest and diseases off their roses, and what works for one person may not work well for another, but if you follow a few basic rules, you can at least keep them at bay.
Firstly, choose a variety that has good pest and disease resistance. There are numerous varieties now that boast good health and robustness, so feel free to ask in store and we will happily point you in the right direction. Secondly keep up good husbandry, keep your roses clean, clear any weeds, fallen leaves, or debris from the base of the rose and deadhead regularly. Thirdly, try companion planting, garlic, marigolds and lavender are all reported to keep away aphids, blackfly and whitefly. They dislike the smell they emit and lastly spray your roses once a month with Roseclear from April until August. These four tips should keep your roses in tip top condition.
Always use John Innes No. 3 – roses dislike multipurpose compost. Use a slow release fertiliser, and liquid feed from March until September. Choose a pot that is at least three times the size that the rose is growing in. Ideally choose a patio rose, which are specifically breed to grow in pots, or varieties that do not exceed 90cm (3’) in height. Place the pot in a sunny spot and water well.
These shouldn’t be a problem but if you see any shoot coming from the base of the plant which has light green leaves and green stems with a few thorns it could be a sucker. Do not cut it off, pull it off as deep as you can (with good gloves). If coming from underground, dig the soil away and pull it off.
If you follow these guidelines, you’ll have roses that will flower for up to five months of the year with the minimum of attention. | 2019-04-23T14:56:27 | http://www.plymouthgardencentre.co.uk/roses/i102 |
Although it’s not particularly challenging in deciding to buy a driveway motion sensor to protect your property and your loved ones, it’s more difficult to decide which one to buy, since there are so many to choose from on the market. With the varying models and feature options to choose from, this guide should offer you a helping hand in your decision process.
For most, spending money on a security system, such as driveway motion sensors isn’t usually an issue. However, some people have a strict budget that they have to adhere to with their purchases, even for security sensors. Although we’re not telling you to settle for the cheapest system on the market, you should consider what you can and can’t afford.
2. Should You Go Wired or Wireless?
Before you buy a driveway motion sensor, you have to decide whether you want to go wired or wireless. To do this, review your home and see which type of system you would benefit from the most. For example, would you rather have an external wired unit or one that’s located in your home that can send signals to and from?
Usually, wired alarm systems are installed while a house is under constriction, so the wires can be buried under the surface. However, if your home is already built, which is probably is, you can benefit from a wireless system.
After you decide between wired and wireless, you will need to choose the type of monitor you want. First, decide whether you want to be alerted when vehicles approach, humans approach, or both. If you only want to monitor for other vehicles, there are metal detecting probes that can do the trick. This kind of alert system will only produce an alarm when a heavy vehicle approaches. You can also select a motion sensor driveway alert. This will alert you when motion is detected in the driveway, including that of people and animals.
No matter what type of product you purchase, make sure you are buying it from a reputable company. Ask friends and family members for recommendations on what to buy and where to buy it from. See if they are pleased with their product and what, if anything, they would have done differently when buying a driveway sensor. Once you settle on a company, ask about any warranties they offer so you can get the best bang for your buck.
With these four factors in mind, you can make sure that you are buying the best driveway motion sensor for your property and your needs from Absolute Automation. | 2019-04-19T03:00:43 | http://www.avannabelbaby.com/4-things-to-consider-when-buying-a-driveway-motion-sensor/ |
I own and service several EM6910 machines at home and work over the past few years and thought i should pass on some info i have learnt about this machine.
For the last two years i have taken the work machine home every 6 months to descale it with a 20% solution of citric acid and replace the collar or seal as needed.
Its been three years now and i have noticed that the steam quality has continued to degrade even though i was descaling it.
At this same time i also purchased two more em6910's off gumtree for $40 and both werent working due to blocked steam.
This time i decided to remove the steam thermoblock from all of them and have a look inside.
This thermoblock had citric acid sitting in it for two days and it didn't do anything.
Next step was to use something stronger and much more controversial. Hydrochloric acid.
Its really hard for me to get a photo of inside the thermoblock but i promise it made a massive difference.
Sorry, i didnt realise my photo links didnt work the first time.
rawill and topshot like this. | 2019-04-24T13:58:34 | https://coffeesnobs.com.au/brewing-equipment-entry-level-sub-500/49386-properly-descaling-em6910-steam-thermoblock.html |
