I walked in to the Tropicana to cover the Ring of Combat show on September 19th not knowing what to expect. I’ve followed MMA for years, since the early days of the Zuffa takeover of the UFC. To finally cover a live MMA show that had produced so many legends was almost surreal. I wandered through the Tropicana an hour before the show started and finally entered the almost-empty arena. Friends, family, and teammates were trickling in, sporting Tiger Schulmann, Serra-Longo, Renzo Gracie, and a variety of other team names across their shirts, each hoping their teammate or instructor would bring home the “W”.
As I walked through the locker rooms adorned with a press pass and clumsily large notebook, I shyly introduced myself to some of the coaches. Some I had trained with in the past, while others I had watched from afar as their careers blossomed in the Northeast circuit. As infamous coaches like Ray Longo and Ricardo Almeida sauntered around the basement of the Tropicana, it comes as no surprise that so many fighters now in the UFC got their start at this promotion.
When I say I sat cageside, I mean literally next to the cage, sandwiched between a judge and a stool for the photographer. I was as close as you could be without being a referee or a fighter. I was far away from the sea of supporters, shiny Affliction shirts, tattoo encrusted “tough guys”, and family members cringing at the thought of their own flesh and blood getting in to the cage. Instead of watching MMA in a crowded bar with several drunken fans yelling at the screen, I was right near the eye of the storm.
I knew, to some degree, about one third of the guys on the card. I had friends in common with some of the fighters, others I had trained with or shared the same team name, and a there were a few whose career I had followed on the local circuit. As I sat cageside, I had to throw all biases aside in writing about the match, and could easily see why a mixed martial arts judge should not oversee a fight where a teammate or student is competing. Interesting note: at the end of each round, each judge hands their score to the referee.
In the second fight, I watched an old teammate make his professional debut. Cody Mooney is in his early twenties; he’s earnest without being naive, confident without being cocky. With a smile on his face, Cody told me to not interview him after the fight; while he remains calm before the storm, he ends up puking backstage, win or lose. I watched his coaches and my former instructors yell out instructions to him; they told him when to go for a takedown, when to throw a combination, and what he should be going for. Their words were simply the verbal manifestation of thousands of repetitions that had been performed in the gym, far away from the walls of the cage and the doors of the Tropicana. Like all coaches, they wanted Cody to unleash his skills inside the cage, to finally execute the combinations he had practiced hundreds of times before. Punching combinations, the timing of a single leg takedown, and the intricate grappling transitions all needed to come together on stage. I watched intently as Cody’s bout went in to a third round to determine the winner. While I never saw Cody lose his composure in the cage, I don’t think I even saw him flinch, he ended up losing a tough decision to his opponent.
Cody and I have probably exchanged less than a dozen words, but watching someone lose in the cage, especially when you know how hard they’ve been training, is heartbreaking. And as the fights went on, I continued to feel overjoyed when someone won, but still crushed when they lost, even if I didn’t know them personally.
But why? It isn’t all that common for MMA fans to care about the loser in the fight unless it’s a friend or personal favorite.
There are many times where fans almost revel in the loss of a fighter, like when a cocky fighter gets knocked out or when someone gets “exposed.” There are many fans itching to see Floyd Mayweather knocked out, and a sizeable portion of MMA fans laughed off the loss of UFC great Anderson Silva after his incessant clowning and disrespectful attitude resulted in him getting knocked out. After sitting cageside and seeing all parties involved in the fight, it would be tough for me, barring extreme circumstances, to ever revel in someone’s loss.
One fighter I spoke to, Ashure Elbanna, teaches Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to a friend of mine at his school in Sayreville, New Jersey. This was only his second professional fight, but he grinned as he assured me that his opponent had never fought anyone like him before. After a back-and-forth battle, Elbanna ended up losing the fight to Shane Burgos, a Tiger Schulmann fighter who went undefeated as an amateur and stands at a whopping 6 feet tall in the 145 pound division. Does Elbanna’s loss make him a bad fighter? Absolutely not. I saw his coaches, an all-star corner featuring UFC veteran Dante Rivera, boxing great “Sizzlin” Sal Lopez, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt Josef “Ze Cobra” Manuel (not present at the event, but he is Elbanna’s jiu jitsu coach). He clearly has the tools to succeed, and I imagine he will be back in the winning column soon enough. Ashure, like most of the fighters on this card, was not a wannabe tough guy; he is a fighter who is green but growing.
I continued to watch the card, as James Jenkins from team Serra/Longo submitted his opponent, showcasing the ground game his team is so well known for. I gritted my teeth as Ricardo Almeida prodigy Frankie Perez crumpled to the cage floor from an initial punch, but came back for a vicious submission victory, a choke that put his opponent to sleep. The 24 year old Perez was greeted outside of the cage by screaming teammates and coaches, who all treated Frankie like he was family.
I kept my eyes peeled for the final two bouts, as Long Island’s Tom English took on Levan Makashivili. Throughout the evening, I kept hearing murmurs about how English was supposed to be the next big thing, while others joked about “that guy with the long name.” Makashvili surprised us all when he knocked out the Bellmore Kickboxing Academy representative in spectacular fashion. I watched English raise his head gently off the canvas just a few feet from where I was sitting, but in the corner of my eye, I could see the elated Levan, celebrating in a victory that many thought he couldn’t have. I saw the highs and lows of combat in one stunning picture, an artistic portrait of the emotions erupt at the end of a fight.
And then, the heavyweight title fight. As Brendan Barrett almost effortlessly finished his opponent via technical knockout in the first round, I couldn’t help but feel elated for Barrett, who was once a four fight losing streak in the promotion, albeit against guys like UFC veterans Costas Phillipou and Ricardo Romero. Years ago, you wouldn’t have seen a heavyweight fight like this even in the UFC; to see this level of heavyweight talent at a local show is a true testament to how far MMA has come.
So why did I care about Pat’s fight? Because it was his reaction that made me realize that the local rising stars do not get much support outside of their team, that true recognition from the MMA world only comes at the top.
There are no outside fans lining up for autographs, no big sponsor checks, no press conference, and no photo shoots. The road to the top is paved with sacrifice, it’s paved with blood, sweat, tears, stitches, and held together by hand wraps, gloves, and mouth guards. It’s no wonder that many fighters treat their team like their family, because that’s their primary support, the main driving force that not only physically prepares them for competition, but mentally and emotionally supports them in their highs and lows.
After wandering around backstage that night combined with years of speaking and training under coaches from several teams, you hear about the sacrifices some of these fighters have made. Training several times a day in kickboxing, grappling, and strength and conditioning are what everyone has to do to succeed, but at the beginning stages, most of these fighters are balancing other jobs, sometimes school, and occasionally the task of providing for one’s family.
The emotions do not stop and end with the fighters themselves. The coaches are as immersed as their students in the fight. I saw each coach express genuine happiness or sadness in victory and defeat, the kind of emotion you see on a parent when their kid comes home with a grin and their first A+ in hand or tears in their eyes after being bulled in school. The investment in the fight is two-fold; while the fighter puts it on the line in the cage, the coach carefully molds each fighter in to the kind of person who can cast emotions aside enough to get in the cage with someone else and wage war. The coach who can mold a once out of shape kid in to a disciplined, lean, in-shape and motivated fighter, like Julio Arce. Arce fights under the Tiger Schulmann banner, and was once an overweight kid before he started training. Arce made his amateur MMA debut at the tender age of 18, and has yet to lose a bout in professional MMA, kickboxing, or boxing. I watched him unleash a storm of calculated aggression against his opponent, who could not get a punch or takedown in during the duration of the fight. As Arce cheered his victory in the cage, he spoke excitedly with his coaches and a lone reporter after the fight was over. “Your training was way tougher than that!” exclaimed Schulmann as Arce bounced up-and-down, still barefoot from the fight but with no scratches on him, barring his perpetual cauliflower ear.
Being a MMA coach is not a ticket to success or riches. For some, it is a way of giving back to the martial arts, a way to continue their role in the sport after hanging up the gloves. These coaches often make money by running academies that cater not only to aspiring professional MMA athletes, but also to clients who want to simply learn the art or to just get in shape. It is these clients that provide the livelihood for the coaches; cornering a fighter is done out of a sense of investment, a sense of pride and confidence in the rising stars of the sport of mixed martial arts.
Knowing all of this and sitting cageside without any distractions has made me less of a critic, less quick to say that someone was “exposed” or to write off someone as a “has been”. The scattering of background information on each of the fighters added emotion to the battle going on in front of me. Not the kind of emotion that makes you love, hate, laugh, cry or cloud your judgment, but the kind that gives you a deeper understanding that the fight does not begin or end at the cage.That the explosion of a shin against someone’s midsection, the collision of knuckles against someone’s jaw, and the expertly timed chokes and joint locks are the validation of hundreds of hours of work behind the scenes, the kind of work that the time spent in the cage just a blip in the long, arduous hours of training that tax fighters physically, mentally, and emotionally. Not all fighters who enter the cage are destined to be great, but those who continue to train hard, train intelligently, and continue to put themselves on the front lines deserve respect that many tend to overlook in defeat.
It’s easy to forget that some losses aren’t due to a lack of skill, and while some of the losses at the Ring of Combat show were probably because the fighter was so early in his career or just wasn’t training the right way, but sometimes it’s just not your day. On that one day, your game plan didn’t click, on that one day you couldn’t pull the proverbial trigger. Ultimately, one’s success in MMA is defined by whether a fighter can push past moments like that to continue to learn and adapt to pursue successful MMA career.
As I watched each fighter leave the ring after each match, it was clear that the fight game is one of the most unforgiving businesses around, in and out of the ring. I watched one man who lost his fight collect a check that would make most wince, handed to him by a man in a suit as he sat alone on the stairs, bruised, shirtless, and bloodied with his head in his hands. I saw no teammates around him, only his girlfriend who walked him out of the venue. He’d forgotten to put in a request to have his gas money reimbursed, so his paltry show money would have to cover that as well. The winners of each fight gleefully ran to their supporters in the crowd and were showered with hugs, high-fives, and requests for autographs. I did not see a loser from any of the fights stick around; they disappeared from the venue that now held the memory of a loss instead of the euphoria that surrounds the beginning of battle.
MMA is a sport where even its biggest stars support fighters on the rise. I saw UFC and Pancrase legend Ricardo Almeida coach Frankie Perez to victory, Ultimate Fighter alumnus and Serra-Longo fighter Al Iaquinta cheer on and coach his teammates with the intensity of a football coach during the Super Bowl, and UFC veterans Dante Rivera and Jesse Taylor in the corners of their respective fighters. None of these guys were “too good” to come back to the small show, to help the new generation create a legacy of their own.
As I left the venue, I heard Dante Rivera laugh and tell his friends “You can’t kick me out of here, I’ve been at this place forever!” And in many ways, Dante is right. Once you’ve entered the realm of MMA, once you’ve stepped in to the cage to test yourself and tasted the levels of success possible in this sport, walking away is almost impossible. Everyone hangs up their gloves at some point, but the spirit of combat never leaves them and lives on in the form of their other teammates that continue to pave the way. | 2019-04-21T22:52:25 | http://www.brutalbrendanbarrett.com/the-side-of-combat-you-dont-see/ |

Some styles of mapping have connectors to reduce the number of crossing lines/links on a map. You can do the same with Wovex.
Lots of links can map a map very confusing.
Rename either the Requirement or Dependency Object (Objects tab in the desktop) to be a Connector object.
Here, the Requirement object has been renamed to 'Connector' with a circle shape of width and height of 50.
1. Rename and change the Requirement object to 'From Connector' with a circle shape of width and height of 50.
2. Rename and change the Dependency object to 'To Connector' with a square shape of width and height of 50.
Lastly, if you want there to be Data Links between Outcome 1 and Outcome 2 in the database, so for example, you can query the relations, then you can.
- If you are mapping in the desktop, then sync with the cloud system (no need to do if mapping in the cloud).
B. Delete/Unlink the link between Outcome 1 and Outcome 2 (this removes the link from the map but keeps the Data link).
C. Add in the Connectors as described previously. | 2019-04-22T18:38:11 | https://help.wovex.com/support/solutions/articles/14000084499-connectors-on-maps |

In the UK Trail Running Championships medium distance race held over the rolling hills of Wiltshire in The Marlborough Downs Challenge, Dicky Wilkinson covered the 19 miles and 1500 feet climb in 2:13:35 for first place and to claim his first British Championship title. In ideal racing conditions, Wilkinson in a group of four, broke away early on in the race as it threaded its way through meadows and woodland trails before climbing up onto the downs. After half way Wilkinson pushed on running the last 9 miles alone to finish over 3 minutes ahead of second place.
Three Days in May is the title given to a trio of fell races in the west of Derbyshire and part of the Hayfield collection of races held over one weekend. Amorri Vhis competed in all three races to finish a highly respectable 23rd in the series and his individual performances were: May Queen 3 miles 700 feet � 47th 27:19; Mount Famine 5 miles 1850 feet � 80th 59:00; and the Lantern Pike Dash 1.2 miles 630 feet (just think 0.6 mile up turn round and then run sub 3:30 mile pace on the way down!) - 25th 15:11. Ed Murden ran Mount Famine in a very brisk 51:43 for a 29th placing in this competitive race.
Further from home than most, Karen Levers took on the Great Wall of China half-marathon in a time of 2:52 � will this be in the summer league next year?

Best Selling Cars: Many automotive giants debuted their latest concepts in the Auto Expo 2018, but it seems that the craze for the previous models still exists in India. In the month of March this year, many car manufacturers in the country got good sales report, whereas some failed to achieve the highest position. The highest profit making companies are Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors who reported an increase of about 15 percent and 31 percent in sales unit, respectively. On the other hand, the sales init decrease was reported by companies like Honda by 28 percent, Renault by 37 percent, and Toyota by 9 percent. Hyundai, Mahindra, and Ford marked a slight increase of 7 percent, 5 percent, and 4 percent, appropriately.
The Indo-Japanese car maker, Maruti Suzuki achieved to grab total six spots in the top 10 list of best-selling cars in March 2018. In previous year Maruti Suzuki Dzire was seen in the first spot of the company, but now it is replaced with the entry-level hatchback, Alto. Maruti sold more than 23,303 units of the Alto and 22,195 units of Dzire which is the subcompact sedans in the second spot. After the announce of the brand-new Dzire, the previous version noticed a minor decrease in sale. The new variant has a more modified outer look and advanced engine specs. The Wagon R took the fifth spot which has been sold total 14,208 units.
Hyundai Grand i10 and the Elite i20 also got good sales mark unit. Both the cars come with top-specs which are yet rocking the Indian market. The enhanced facelift Grand variant was released in 2017 and is still running successfully in the market. It was sold approx. 12,476 units in the previous month this year. The next 9th spot was seen with the average Creta compact SUV sold total 10,011 units. The Swift and Baleno were ahead of the Wagon R which received the third and fourth position. Both the cars are more superior than the rival Hyundai Elite i20. The company sold approximately 19207 unit and 16254 units of Swift and Baleno, respectively. The latest variant of Swift has observed great appreciation and the bookings are increasing day by day. It is assumed that the Swift will move to the top spot in the coming months.
Some more cars on the list include Vitara Brezza and Creta which are seen on the seventh and ninth spot, respectively. The company reported a sales increase of the Hyundai Creta and expects that it will soon rise to the position. There is some latest entry in the automotive market which is Tata Nexon and Honda WR-V. These cars are receiving interests of coming with great specs which managed to be sold total 4,000 units per month. Mahindra Bolero MUV managed to receive the last spot with a selling of 9,104 units in the March 2018. Let’s see whether the Maruti Suzuki products will remain the best selling car in future as well or the spot will be replaced by other companies. | 2019-04-24T16:13:28 | https://wheelbhp.com/top-10-best-selling-cars-march/ |
It’s been a while since I’m back from Austria where I got introduced into the art of book making by notorious book publisher Lois Lammerhuber and prepared the release of my first book „SESSIONS“.
I had the honor to enjoy generous Austrian hospitality, to learn a lot about Genghis Khan and Russian contemporary Photography – that according to Lois looks as smooth as coconut ice-cream tastes like – and besides that to design a photo book with dedicated people on my project about Fetishism in Germany that once was known as „The Candy Crush Project“.
We were fighting like cats and dogs over the selection and sequencing of the images and Lois was temporarily looking forward for an appointment with his dentist as the only painless time of that week. In the end of the day, we designed a beautiful photo book that will soon find it’s way into the stores. SESSIONS will be released in autumn 2015 in a limited and signed edition of 1000 with open spine binding and an accompanying text by Nora Gantenbrink. Preorders can be made on amazonor the website of Edition Lammerhuber via this link.
I am really grateful for the enthusiasm of Lois Lammerhuber and his passionate team that dares to be courageous enough to release such a book. Please feel free to have a glance at Edition Lammerhuber´s websitefor other existingand upcoming publications. | 2019-04-26T10:03:48 | http://fmfotografie.com/sessions-with-lois-lammerhuber/ |
Operating System security solutions allow an enterprise to control, audit and secure their operating systems with a greater level of ease and flexibility than what is normally achievable through the operating system’s own tools.
EB2BCOM’s solutions cater for the hardening of operating systems and ensuring that they remain in compliance with the organisation’s applicable governing standard/guidelines. Additionally, solutions can be provided to control and secure privileged user access and accounts.
Operating system (OS) security is a priority for system administrators, but most agree that it is not an easy process. It can be time consuming and difficult, and the process can vary from OS to OS. Quite often operating systems are not secured as well as they should be and/or the level to which they are secured is not easily reportable or auditable.
Operating system hardening software allows system administrators to harden many of the operating systems across their heterogeneous environment with ease and ongoing monitoring, remediation and reporting.
Because large organisations have thousands of privileged accounts in use throughout the IT infrastructure, it can be virtually impossible to manually track and update them all. In the absence of automated processes, IT staff often set privileged credentials to the same common, unchanging password or may update the credentials through ad-hoc scripts and group policy changes.
An organisation that does not maintain frequently-changed, unique passwords for all of its privileged accounts faces the threat of unauthorised users and malicious programs compromising just one password and gaining unrestricted access to resources throughout the network. Former employees familiar with the privileged passwords at their previous organisations and malware that exploits common privileged account passwords pose a particular threat.
Manual processes to change privileged account passwords also pose risks, since improperly implemented and incomplete password updates can result in account lockouts, cascading system failures, and extended IT service disruptions.
Privileged identities are widespread in the IT infrastructure, since they can be found on server and desktop operating systems, on hardware devices like routers or switches, and on applications and services like databases, backup programs, scheduled tasks, and more. Unauthorised access to the privileged account passwords on any of these resources can lead to a compromise of sensitive corporate data and disruptions to IT services.
Despite the serious security risks and the potential for IT compliance audit failure, many organisations are unaware of their own vulnerabilities when it comes to privileged accounts. | 2019-04-26T02:35:27 | http://www.eb2b.com.au/operating-system-security/ |

Aldi submitted plans to build a store near the Skewfields Roundabout which links the A472 and the A4042 at the former Trico site.
In December 2017, Councillors refused the plans citing concerns of “undermining the vitality, viability and attractiveness” of Pontypool town centre and the “poor location” of the site for non-car modes of transport.
Councillors were also fearful that it could lead to an “increased risk of accidents” for cyclists and pedestrians. Members of the Torfaen's planning department cited concerns that the out of town development would have on Pontypool, as it would not be able to create "link trips". | 2019-04-26T09:05:02 | http://tescopoly.org/campaign/pontypool-monmouthshire |
10-4, good buddy. You got a bear on your back door and your comic book is full. I’m 10 and on the side.
That’s about all the CB talk I’m good for, but KeepTruckin is good for plenty more.
The developer of both hardware and software that helps truck drivers manage their vehicles and cargo has raised $149 million in Series D funding, with Greenoaks Capital leading the round and including participation from GV, IVP, Index Ventures, and Scale Venture Partners.
According to a report in TechCrunch, this Series D round values KeepTruckin at $1.25B, and the company was founded in 2013 and has garned some 55K unique customers, and deployed its software in hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
KeepTruckin’s software is intended to bring the antiquated trucking industry into the digital age. Its platform provides electronic logs and fleet management tools, including GPS tracking and driver performance monitoring for fleet managers and dispatchers to track and communicate with their drivers.
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’…into the 21st century.
As I expected would happen, Samsung is apparently folding on the rollout this Friday of its Galaxy Fold smartphone this Friday due to folding issues with the new device.
According to a report from Reuters, it has cancelled media events for the Fold in both Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Whatta ya think, is the Fold a solution looking for a problem? Whatever the case, the price point ($1,800) could still care off even the most audacious of early adopters.
Over at AWS, it seems that Apple has become a huuuugeee customer of theirs, having spent $350M in 2018 and now at a $30M/month run rate in 2019.
According to CNBC, Apple has a multiyear agreement with AWS, and spends more on Amazon’s cloud than Lyft and Pinterest, even as the company invests heavily in its own cloud infrastructure.
Apple’s cloud expenditure reflects the company’s determination to deliver online services like iCloud quickly and reliably, even if it must depend on a rival to do so.
The company is investing heavily to build its own infrastructure: In January 2018, Apple announced plans to spend $10 billion on data centers in the U.S. within five years. In December, Apple said it would spend $4.5 billion of that amount through 2019. The company also depends on smaller third-party cloud providers. But it also relies on the big cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services and Alphabet subsidiary Google. Microsoft has also provided cloud tools to Apple in the past.
So when Apple wins, Amazon does, too. Coopetition is your friend!
Also on the Apple front, 9to5Mac is gathering some early leaks on the company’s coming WWDC developer event.
What’s expected to be announced thus far? New Siri intents, APIs to port apps to Mac, a new AR content creation app (does this mean we can play Pokemon again??), support for stereo AR headsets. All the leaks thus far can be found here.
And if you’ve been wondering how the Mueller Report is going over, as I was, editions from Skyhorse Publishing and The Washington Post now a best-seller and ranked #1 and #2 on Amazon’s best-seller list.
Which is funny that people are signing up to buy the printed book, when you consider it’s available in PDF format at any number of institutions, including here at WAPO.
I’m just curious if anyone’s actually reading it.
This is a big news day. Too much to keep up with.
Yes, the long awaited Mueller investigation report has been made public, and we mere mortals can finally read about what did or didn’t happen in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. I got my copy from the "failing" New York Times.
But there’s also big news in Tech. Pinterest and Zoom went public today, and Zoom shares are already zooming up some 75%. Pinterest began trading up 25%. Will these unicorns continue to prosper? Stay tuned.
I’ve got bad news for those of you who were excited about the coming Samsung Galaxy Foldable phones. The Verge (and other reviewers) have indicated the Folds have started to…well…uh…fold. Actually, the pictures they’ve shared show more of a crease, bu The Verge author indicated whatever you call it that "its just enough to slightly distort the screen."
FYI, the list price for the Fold is $1,980, and is expected to be available next week. Could we soon see a repeat of earlier Samsung recalls?
Me, personally, I’m find with my perfectly flat iPhone 7 plus for the time being, and I’m not an Android (although some might argue otherwise).
If you’re looking for a place to invest, you might want to look towards the future of crypto. Not necessarily just the currency, but also the pick and shovel plays that plan on putting the blockchain to work for business.
According to a report from Reuters, VC investments in crypto and blockchain startups this year have surpassed $850M, and reached $2.4B over 117 investments last year. Blockchain may be struggling to find a place it can call home, but that’s not keeping away the angel wolves willing to throw it a few million Bitcoins its way!
And whoopsie, I almost forgot: Facebook had another privacy breach. This time, they "unintentionally uploaded" 1.5 million people’s email contacts without their consent.
Since May 2016, the social-networking company has collected the contact lists of 1.5 million users new to the social network, Business Insider can reveal. The Silicon Valley company said the contact data was "unintentionally uploaded to Facebook," and it is now deleting them.
We now know more about the Apple/Qualcomm settlement.
It was all (or mostly) about 5G.
No sooner was the settlement announced that Intel announced it was pulling out of the 5G smartphone chip market.
Apple and Qualcomm’s six-year licensing agreement will help ensure the launch of the first 5G iPhone in 2020.
According to a report from Nikkei Asian Review, the settlement included an undisclosed payment to Qualcomm by Apple, which "several weeks ago asked its suppliers to begin testing the chipmaker’s 5G modems."
Intel told Nikkei Asian in a statement that there was "no clear path to profitability and positive returns in the smartphone little business. That said, 5G remains a strategic priority across Intel and we continue to invest in our 5G network infrastructure business."
Apparently, Apple had long been concerned that Intel could not meet its 5G schedule, likely prompting the settlement with Qualcomm.
What to do when the chips are down?!
IBM announced its first quarter 2019 financial results this afternoon, with the lead being it both accelerated its cloud revenue growth and continued its margin expansion.
Maintains full-year EPS and free cash flow expectations ARMONK, N.Y.
Well I certainly didn’t see that one coming!
CNBC is reporting the Apple and Qualcomm has settled their royalty and patent dispute that was going to trial in San Diego this week.
According to the report, as part of the settlement all legal action worldwide between the two companies will be dropped, and Qualcomm said it expected a $2 increase in earnings per share as its stock rose over 15% on the announcement.
Apple shares were up less than 1%.
The trial started yesterday and was expected to last until May, according to the report from CNBC, and both sides were asking for billions in damages.
Their legal battle centered around modem chips and had been going on since 2016.
Qualcomm and Apple today announced an agreement to dismiss all litigation between the two companies worldwide. The settlement includes a payment from Apple to Qualcomm. The companies also have reached a six-year license agreement, effective as of April 1, 2019, including a two-year option to extend, and a multiyear chipset supply agreement.
Watching Notre Dame burn yesterday seemed like yet another undeserved heavy punch dealt to one of my favorite cities across the globe, Paris.
But I’ve also seen the resilience of Parisians in years past, including after the Charlie Hebdo and November 2015 terrorist attacks, and was really happy to wake up to headlines that the church is still structurally sound and rebuilding is on the horizon once the investigation into what started the fire is complete.
However, some algos apparently got tripped up during coverage of yesterday’s Notre Dame fire. The Verge reported that many news networks were, logically, providing live coverage of the breaking news. But on YouTube, the algos apparently confused the breaking news from Paris with an undercarriage explaining the September 11, 2001 terror attacks in NYC.
The Verge explains that the small paragraph regarding 9/11 was actually part of YouTube’s fact-checking to "prevent the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories on the platform." Said a YouTube spokesperson, "These panels are triggered algorithmically and our systems sometimes make the wrong call."
And though real fires may drive algos, in turn, algos can also drive virtual fires, as apparently was the case with Facebook and news media organizations when the social network essentially de-emphasized media sites with algo changes it made early last year. WIRED goes deep on the disenfranchisement across the board in a new feature entitled "15 Months of Fresh Hell Inside Facebook."
I wonder if WIRED’s ranking just lost a few points on Facebook’s News Feed with that headline?? | 2019-04-25T04:52:26 | https://turbotodd.wordpress.com/author/turbotodd/ |
A Belize City woman who pleaded guilty to one count of drug trafficking when she appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith today was fined the mandatory minimum sentence of $10,000.
Smith ordered her to pay $5,000 immediately; in default, she will have to begin serving the three-year prison sentence the offense carries.
The woman, Roshawn Higgs, 35, a domestic of #6 -7th Street, Kings Park, who is the mother of five children, the youngest being one-year old, is a first-time offender.
In court, an unrepresented Higgs said she was guilty of possession, but the Chief Magistrate told her that the charge before the court was for drug trafficking.
When Smith asked her to enter a plea, Higgs pleaded guilty to the one count of drug trafficking.
Higgs was arrested and charged after a police search of her home on Tuesday, April 8, led to the discovery of the 150 grams of cannabis.
According to the police report of the incident, around 5:30 p.m., PC Carl Garbutt was on patrol in the Kings Park area.
Garbutt searched a dark-skinned man who was standing under a tree in a yard. The search, however, did not yield anything incriminating on the man.
But then Garbutt reported that he saw a woman standing by the door of a house in the yard, and she was acting suspiciously, so he decided that he would search her house for illegal firearms and drugs.
During the search of Higgs’ room, Garbutt found a barrel and inside it was a blue container with three plastic bags. The bags contained a green leafy substance suspected to be cannabis.
Garbutt said he cautioned Higgs before arresting her, and took her to the police station where the suspected cannabis was weighed in her presence, and it amounted to 150 grams, which is less than a half pound of weed.
Higgs was unable to pay the $5,000 fine and was sent to Belize Central Prison to begin serving her sentence. If she can pay the $5,000 fine, however, she will be released and can seek an extension from the court for payment of the other $5,000. | 2019-04-19T15:46:44 | http://amandala.com.bz/news/10000-fine-mother-5-drug-trafficking/ |
I have for this sweet life stamp set with me forever, but I hardly been able to find an occasion to use it.
I love the boldness of the gingham pattern and find that this more bold pattern can also fit in very well with the soft floral.
I stamped all the floral and leaves with oxide ink and fussy cut that out. I arranged them around the oval die cut, with sentiment also from the sweet life stamp set on it, with foam mounted tape. The floral framed the sentiment nicely.
Ink: altenew -moon rock, ranger – archival black, distress oxide: tattered rose, worn lipstick, picked raspberry, bundled sage, peeled paint, antique linen, fossilized amber, wild honey, wild violet ,seedless preserve.
So lovely! Great layout and flower mix! Beautifully done! | 2019-04-19T00:18:35 | https://paperparadise.blog/2018/05/25/pti-may-2018-blog-hop/ |
The concept of the outdoor room has become a popular one with clients keen to spend as much time as they can outside - not gardening but relaxing and entertaining in a space that is easy to keep to a high standard. It calls for simple, uncluttered design, high quality materials and a high level of finish. Plants tend to be subordinate to the "hard" surfaces with their clean, sharp lines which often repeat colours and styles from the interior of the house or flat. The result is a garden that could almost be indoors!
This striking minimalist design mirrored the interior of the house in its colours and materials, making the garden feel like an extension of the kitchen and breakfast room.
Modern garden furniture and planters and a very limited plant palette reinforce the sense of controlled neatness.
An outdoor room for daily use with a pavilion designed especially for yoga and meditation.
The pavilion also acts as a key focal point, concentrating attention within the garden space. The very high rear boundary wall would otherwise have dominated the garden.
The view from the upper floor reveals a perfect balance between the planting and the hard structures.
Looking back towards the house "tropical" planting underlines the contemporary feel. | 2019-04-21T20:06:38 | http://www.john-gilbert.co.uk/gardens/the-outdoor-room/ |
The holidays are here, which means it’s time for you to make your annual charitable donations in a desperate attempt to cleanse the stains your dark soul has accumulated this year. Below is a thoroughly vetted list of the most effective life-saving charities in the world.
Here is the list of 18 charities dubbed “2017's Best” by The Life You Can Save, a respected site that encourages effective philanthropy—meaning that these charities accomplish the most for the people with the greatest need per dollar donated.
And here is the new list of the year’s seven top charities from GiveWell, another respected charity evaluation site that focuses on effective giving.
Against Malaria Foundation, which provides malaria nets that save lives.
Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, which fights disease in sub-Saharan Africa.
Evidence Action, which provides clean water and deworming programs.
GiveDirectly, which sends money to the extreme poor.
You are likely not a superhero who saves lives very often, but you can legitimately save lives by donating to these charities.
The election of Donald Trump has had a chilling effect on many of our subscribers, our recommended charities, our Team at The Life You Can Save, and people throughout the United States and the World. There is an understandable desire to do something to mitigate the damage that a Trump presidency can do to the environment, the social safety net, and to civil liberties. At a time when many people wanted to advance in these areas beyond what the Obama administration has done, there is concern that we are about to take a dramatic step backwards. How does this impact effective giving?
I would suggest that we continue to support the recommended charities on our new list at the same level we have in the past, or even at an increased level. The value of $1 given to a recommended charity still trumps (forgive the pun) the value of a dollar given domestically — even under the current political environment. However, as citizens I urge everyone to get involved in social movements to which they resonate whether the movement targets the environment, civil rights, or protecting our social safety net. If one feels the understandable urge to give to political movements or organizations fighting the Trump agenda then please consider giving more money over the next four years so that you don’t diminish your gifts to fight global poverty.
So don’t let Donald Trump make you forget the world’s poorest people. Santa Claus is watching. | 2019-04-26T00:37:50 | https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/here-are-the-worlds-most-effective-charities-1789606220 |
I took a little time off from blogging this winter and the time got away from me, to say the least. I hope I haven’t worried anyone. We took a few trips since the first of the year and here it is mid April. I wanted all of you to know that all is well here at the Jensen house.
We have had our fair share of unusual winter weather events that has put our spring arrival about a month late. Normally at this time of the year I would be out in the garden house and yard hauling out pots and lugging garden soil to start planting…not this year. We have had the coldest April in recorded history (and that says something for MN.) Last weekend we got 18″ of snow, which also set a record for a spring snow event.
As I gazed out my front door at the never ending snowfall, I decided to head for my paints and canvases to paint flowers since I couldn’t actually garden. I spent all weekend painting and created an indoor garden to satisfy my sprint planting urges. This week looks like the weather is going to turn the corner and actually act like spring so I will soon be outside “digging” and not indoors painting.
It is also time to change out the quilts from winter to spring. The rooms all take on a whole new, fresh look with a lighter palette of fabrics. It is fun to take another look at quilts that have been stored for a while and appreciate not only the handiwork, but also the fun fabrics. I have always had pretty neutral background colors on the walls, beds and large upholstered pieces so I can easily change out the whole appearance of a room with accessories like paintings, quilts and pillows.
This all time favorite of mine (4-Patch Scrap Quilt) was featured in the Thimbleberries Block Party book.
Hello. I am trying to figure out which one of your quilt patterns is featured in a Thimbleberries book called Autumn Accents. Can you help, please?
Sorry, the picture did not show. Can you email it to me at [email protected] and I can perhaps identify it.
I am finally working my Pansy Park kit. Block #4 requires a 6×21- inch piece wine floral. My kit contains a 4×21 inch piece. Can anyone help me out? Thank you!!!
Sorry, I don’t have any. Hopefully someone can help you out.
Hi Lori, I have a FQ of 4292-04 which is the wine floral with red and green floral. Do you need that or the tone-on-tone wine print w/ leaves?
I live in Missouri and it is September now, I hope I haven’t missed any blogs. I love your quilts and decorating. I have been ordering some of your books, I get so excited when they come in the mail. I am looking forward to hearing from you again,please leave me on your blog list.
I miss your blog, patterns, and fabrics. I love that quilt, “4 patch scrap quilt” I have been slowly adding to the scrappy pile for that quilt; although, I have to admit it has to be Thimbleberries fabric only, to make this quilt. I have plenty in my Thimbleberries stash to make this quilt, just trying to use scraps from other Thimbleberries quilts, that I am making. You are the best! My first quilt by total accident, was one of your quilts (evergreen trees with checker board boarder) in a magazine, ThaNK GOODNESS, your directions are the best. I continued quilting because you made it so easy. THANK YOU LYNETTE!!!
Thanks for the note…always nice to hear.
Forgive me if there is a better forum for this, but I’m working on a project on the legacy of my grandmother, an avid baker and quilter. I have plans to print a book for my family members showing her recipes next to her quilts. She has a large number of Thimbleberries patterns, and I’m looking for all the help I can find to identify and gather information about them that I could include under the photographs. I would appreciate help in that direction, even so far as to take a look at the handful of photographs I have that have been identified as Thimbleberries projects from the 200+ we found while clearing out her house.
I am really not sure how to even begin. I designed hundreds of quilt project patterns and would have no idea how to identify without seeing the quilts, unless you want to send me the photographs and I try to identify just those. My email address is [email protected]. It is a very sweet endeavor. Your grandmother would be so pleased that you all care so much about the passions in her life.
Hope all is good, was in Hutch lately and stopped at the local quilt store there. Will need to get back as didn’t get all I saw and am sure will need someday.
All is good and Quilt Haven on Main in Hutch is still “hopping”.
Hi Lynette! Do you remember what year that Thimbleberries Club originally started? One gal at my shop believes it was 1994 and one believes it was 1996 – who is correct?!?
I think probably 2004. It’s first year was very informal and it just got more and more involved each year.
Catch me up-are you NOT designing fabrics anymore? That would be our loss. I always feel at home when I am quilting with your line. Maybe I am misreading what people are saying.
I am not designing fabrics any longer. There has been a drastic change at the RJR fabric company and it just seems that it is time to put that part of my past to bed. My 27 years in the business was very rewarding and enjoyable and hopefully the years to come will be the same.
Wow! I love that quilt as well. So beautiful.
Would you please put your recipe for Texas Cowboy cookies on your blog again. Lost my recipe. They are the best cookie.
I guess I don’t recall a Texas Cowboy Cookie recipe. I do have a Cowboy Chocolate Cookie one…is that a it perhaps?
I always look forward to seeing your beautiful yard, it was a feature in your books that I loved. Looks like you will be off to a late start this year. Your paintings are beautiful. Will they be appearing on fabric any time soon? Please!
Love the old four patches,l backgrounds that go with everything and just the comfortable look.
Your paintings are beautiful! Are you using oils or acrylics? I am a fellow Minnesotan, so I am looking forward to just seeing some green grass !
I have been using acrylics and also trying my hand at watercolor. Painting is new for me, so every painting is a learning exercise, but very fun.
Today, I am going to the Art in Bloom exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute for Art. It is a four day show that pairs paintings with floral arrangements.
Seems like the perfect thing to do as I am still waiting for snow to melt on the north side of my house. Maybe by this weekend, I will be able to start working outside.
Enjoy the exhibit – I am sure you will be inspired! I paint with acrylics mostly, but like to try new mediums. Maybe this summer I will give watercolors a try.
Hi Lynette, missed you! Glad everything is fine. Our Spring is 3 weeks behind in Ohio and yesterday I finally could start cleaning out the beds. The winter that never ends this year! The paintings are gorgeous. Can’t wait to hear all about your spring plantings this year!
I guess I did realize winter has been unkind everywhere. I am always grateful that I have so many things I love to do indoors, that the weather doesn’t get me down.
Glad to have you back. You were missed.
I am so glad to hear all is well at the Jensen home! I was that you had stopped blogging for good, or that someone in the family was not well. It has been a very long winter season! The weather was warm and dry enough to get outside 4/21.
I am excited that I found the gold print for Harvest Pinwheels from Classic Country 2000. I have all the fabrics laid out to bag for a quilt kit! I also finished kitting the Timeless Grace version of Crazy Puzzle quilt from Block by Block to Beautiful Quilts. Your patterns and fabrics continue to inspire many! Best wishes for a sunshine filled spring!
I’m so glad to hear from you. You have been missed and I admit I was a little worried. I’m so glad you enjoyed some well deserved time off. I always enjoy your posts. I have been a Thimbleberries quilter for many years, started with quilters garden, and your patterns are always my go to. Wishing you a wonderful spring.
Beautiful paintings, love the quilt!
I was so excited to see that there was a new post to your blog today! I first discovered Thimbleberries at my LQS back in 2004. I was homeschooling my three children at that time so there was little time for quilting. I told myself then that when I started the next chapter of my life I wanted to quilt using Thimbleberries. That next chapter started for me last fall (2017). At first I was saddened to have missed out on the Thimbleberries clubs and such,but I have been having so much fun collecting your books, fabrics and patterns. Now I need to get busy sewing!
I actually was getting a little worried, didn’t know if you had decided to give up this post (heaven forbid!) or if it was something else. Glad to hear all is well in your household.
I’m in CT and I believe we had the coldest April ever recorded or close to it. We had snow a few times in April but nothing can top your snowfall!
I love your flower paintings, your talent are never ending! I look forward to your post, please keep sharing with us everything you do. You are so inspiring!!
Ps: I especially love hearing anything you do with or for the grandchildren!
Welcome back sure have missed you. Yes we all need a break now and then. Good to hear all is well in the Jensen family. It too has been a cold April lots of snow here in PA. Take care and thank you for all the good ideas, quilting patterns, beautiful fabrics and yummy reciepts.
Thank you for your newsletter. I have missed hearing from you. Hope all is well. The snow looked pretty incredible from here in sunny southern California. It looked beautiful. I would like to have 4 seasons. But as my mother, from ND, used to say if winter just didn’t last so long. I enjoy your newsletter very much.
Your painting are beautiful. I also love the quilt. What is the size of the squares that you put together to make the one square. You put 4 squares to make one square. Hope this is not confusing.
The squares are cut 2″ and finished measure 1/2″ with alternating 3″ (finished) plain squares.
Welcome back! I sure have missed you. Glad to hear the Jensen family is well. Looking forward to all things Thimbleberries. Bless you.
Your quilts and paintings are Beautiful, you are so talented!
Glad you posted a new blog and grateful we do not snow like you.
So good to hear all is well. Beautiful paintings and quilt. Blessings to you and your family.
Would love to see your painting transferred into fabric designs.
Lynette, I so like your newly painted pictures! I am honored to know such a multi-talented person. Happy planting!
So good to hear from you, Lynette! Your paintings are lovely. I live in New Jersey, and the winter has been dreadful. We are finally seeing flowering trees!
It’s ironic that you should feature the 4-patch Scrap Quilt! A friend and I are going to make this quilt together, only virtually, since she lives in Central Oregon and I now live in north Washington State. I still have a lot of Thimbleberries fabrics so I will have no problem stitching this lovely quilt!
Those paintings are lovely. You are a very multitalented lady!
I love the gestural loose paintings of the flowers, and I see those colour influences in your quilts. How beautiful! I live in northern British Columbia, and I hate to tell you this, but my Iceland poppies are already greening up – always my first plants of the season. Spring WILL come!
Sounds like you had Alaska weather We are ready for spring.
I have LOVED Thimbleberries for many years. I remember going to the local quilt shop with a picture of “The Thimbleberries Book of Quilts” saying “do you have this”? I was so excited to get this book! I still have my book and many, many more…a collection of Thimbleberries I think! You continue to inspire and I just wanted you to know that my house is so much prettier thanks to you. Have a great day!
I love your quilts and have made several. Your directions are the best. I always hand quilt my quilts. I’m not the best but as my son said years ago, “mom it will mean so much more if you hand quilt it”. So I’m wondering, do you ever hand quilt? | 2019-04-19T05:03:31 | http://thimbleberries.com/blog/2018/04/24/time-off-2/?replytocom=11312 |
He created you and wants to have a personal relationship with you now on earth and eternally in heaven (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:4-5).
2. Sin has separated you from God.
The Bible defines "sin" as choosing our will over God's. We have each made this mistake (Romans 3:23). Our sins have now separated us from our holy God, and he cannot allow us into his perfect heaven. Instead, we are each destined for an eternity separated from God in hell (Revelation 19:19-21).
3. You cannot repair your broken relationship with God.
Many people think we can be good or religious enough to earn God's forgiveness and go to heaven when we die. But the Bible teaches that the only payment for sin is death (Romans 6:23; Ezekiel 18:20). Someone must die for the sins we have committed.
4. Jesus died to pay the debt owed by your sins.
Since Jesus was sinless and owed no debt to God, his death could pay for our sins. He took our place on the cross and suffered the penalty we deserved. His death now makes it possible for a righteous God to forgive our sins and offer us salvation (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24).
5. You must receive the gift he died to give.
Now you must choose to trust in what Jesus has done for you rather than trusting in your own efforts to restore your relationship with God. In faith, rely completely on Jesus to make you right with God. Confess your sins and mistakes to God, and choose to live by his word and will. Decide that you will make Jesus the Lord and Master of your life.
How can you make this decision? Through prayer you can meet Jesus today. There is no single prayer you must pray to become a Christian, no magic formula, but the following words are one way to trust Christ as Lord. They are the prayer I offered to God on September 9, 1973, when I first trusted in Jesus as my Savior. If you will pray them with the sincere commitment of your heart and life, you will join me in knowing Jesus personally and living for him as your Lord.
Thank you for loving me. Thank you that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins and failures. I admit to you that I am a sinner, that I need you to save me. I ask you to forgive me for my sins. I turn from them now. I invite Jesus into my life as my Savior and Lord. I turn my life over to him. I will live for him as long as I live. Thank you for giving me eternal life and making me the child of God. In Jesus' name, Amen.
If you just prayed this prayer for the first time, please tell someone about your decision. Christianity cannot be lived alone. A coal by itself goes out—it needs the heat of other coals. Share your new faith with someone you trust, and with a church where you can grow in your commitment to Christ. | 2019-04-24T12:27:38 | https://fbcbeeville.com/salvation |

Living in the Pacific Northwest I often get families with a holistic/homeopathic mindset for the care of their humans and canines. After helping many families deal with worms I’ve finally decided to compile what I’ve learned to share with all of you.
Many dogs are able to take chemical treatments for the infection of worms. Your vet can help you find treatment in this case. Many will not notice any negative side effects from general medication. However, it’s unfortunatley common for dog owners to notice negative side effects from these treatments and may seek more natural alternatives. I also work with many people wanting to opt for natural remedies because of personal values.
No matter what has led you to seeking natural remedies for worms in your dog I hope you are able to find these helpful. Natural remedies take time and effort! Prevention is key to helping our canine companions lead happy healthy lives!
If you’re not dealing with worms yet, you can still help prevent them through preventative measures. If you’ve dealt your dog having worms you know how terrible it can be! Here is a way to keep it from happening again!
Clean spray bottle–Be sure it’s safe for essential oils!
Apply to dog by starting at the rump. Place one hand on your pup and move their fur against the grain as you spray their skin along behind. Its important to get the mix to their skin! (I have to put the head of the spray bottle against their skin). Repeat this method on their sides and belly. Spray legs and rub in the mixture. For the face, Spray it on your hands and rub avoiding their eyes, nose, and any open wounds. Lastly, rub the insides of ears with the mixture.
Apply 3 times a week or more. Depending on how common worms are and how at risk your dog is–up to once a day.
If you start to feel a build up take a wet towel and wipe them down. You can also give them a bath or take them for a nice walk in the rain!
This little guy LOVED playing outside in the rain!
In addition to the topical preventative you can also add some natural things to your pups diet to prevent and treat worms. Many of these items can be found at your local grocery store or co-op but I’ve included affiliate links through amazon as well. Here are several options!
Fresh, raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds help expel worms. A generous portion can be fed as a wholesome treat to your pup and yourself! You may need to grind them up. You can feed them the seeds alone or with a meal. *If treating a dog already infected you can add the ground seeds to 2 Tablespoons pumpkin puree. The puree will help their tummy if they have diarrhea.
Anti-worm mix– blend together 2 cups pumpkin seeds, 1 cup garlic, 1 cup fennel seed, and 1 cup yucca root. Add 1 teaspoon/pound of food for 5 days on then 2 days off.
Wormwood is a classic dewormer. But be cautious! This should only be used in small doses and for short periods of time! Wormwood is a powerful worming agent that has been used for hundreds of years to expel many types of worms, especially roundworms, from dogs, cats, humans and other animals. Yet it is not recommended as the herb of first choice by many holistic veterinarians and is recommended if other natural remedies aren’t enough. Since wormwood makes life miserable for parasites, it is also not kind to the host.*To use wormwood, give up to 1/2 teaspoon of the dried herb per 30 pounds of body weight at mealtime. Do not exceed three consecutive days of use. The extremely bitter flavor of this herb makes it a hard one to get animals to accept so you may need to hide it in a tasty treat!
As you can see, all of these natural remedies will take time and effort! But I hope you will find your pup to be happy, healthy and worm free!

The Hyundai Ioniq has quickly become one of the flagship models for Hyundai. The affordably-priced vehicle represents some of Hyundai’s best work, as well as their first trip into the fully electric market.
We’re big fans of this car. Hyundai took on some of the big dogs of the electric vehicle market, and more than held their own. The automaker showed a lot of innovation with this vehicle, and really impressed us (and the competition) along the way.
The Ioniq has everything we’ve come to expect from a Hyundai: outstanding reliability, quality interiors and driving feel, and practicality up one side and down the other. Of course, adding an electric option only improves the already great practicality, part of why this vehicle is a popular option.
The most important thing to know about the Ioniq is that in comes in a variety of options. While there’s no fully gasoline-powered version, the standard Ioniq that’s been on the market for awhile is the gas electric hybrid. Hyundai is adding a plug-in gas-electric hybrid to the line as well. But it’s the third model that we’re focused on, and will be referring to from here on out in the article: the fully electric Ioniq.
The Ioniq gets an EPA-estimated 124 miles per the charge, which is terrific. At under $30,000 (before tax credits and rebates), that puts the Ioniq ahead of many of its competitors at that price range. It also makes those 124 miles fun, as the 118 horsepower motor will attest to. Charging is relatively quick, despite the nice range that is offered. With a 240 volt power source, the Ioniq can charge fully in just under four and a half hours. Using the DC fast charging system, the car can charge to 80% of its range in 23 minutes, which is really great.
One of the things we love most about the fully electric Ioniq is how well it drives. The car is a lot lighter than other electric vehicles in its price and miles range, and you notice that when you’re driving. The Ioniq handles really well, and is very responsive. You wouldn’t buy it for the handles, but it really helps, and makes the car quite enjoyable.
The fully electric Hyundai Ioniq requires essentially no maintenance. You’ll need to rotate the tires and replace the brakes occasionally, but otherwise the Ioniq is essentially carefree. It takes advantage of one of the best things about batteries: they don’t require a fraction of the attention that gasoline engines do. That’s on full display with the Ioniq, as you really only need to have the battery occasionally inspected (Hyundai recommends every year or so), and it only needs routine maintenance every 100,000 miles or so.
The one thing to be wary of regarding Ioniq maintenance is that Hyundai technicians simply aren’t very comfortable with these cars yet. They’re still a lot less common than the gas-electric hybrid Ioniq, as well as Hyundai’s fully gasoline-powered vehicles. Mechanics are still primarily focusing on the intricacies of the gasoline engines, and haven’t quite figured out the electric cars quite yet.
This isn’t a big problem, since, as mentioned, the electric Ioniq really doesn’t require much maintenance at all. But it does mean that you’ll get some mixed answers and confused technicians when you inquire about an issue with the vehicle. We’ve noticed that if you call a Hyundai dealership asking a question about the electric Ioniq, and then call another Hyundai dealership asking about the same question, it’s pretty common to get two different answers. Again, this isn’t a big issue since the car requires minimal maintenance, and doesn’t have the dangerous issues that a gasoline car would. But it is something to be aware of, as it can be a little frustrating.
It’s also worth noting that the Ioniq has pretty horrible braking. The manufacturer uses a regenerative braking system that turns the energy used from braking into power for the battery. This is a common feature on electric vehicles, but most are able to accomplish it without much loss in performance. Unfortunately, the Ioniq is not one of those cars, as the braking is a big step behind the competition. This is doubly true when using extreme braking to avoid an accident.
So, now that we’ve covered some of the downsides, there is one huge upside to the Ioniq. A subscription plan offered by Hyundai. The plan, called the Ioniq Subscription+, is a very reasonably priced three-year lease. All maintenance and wear and tear is covered, and there are no mile limits. Hyundai reimburses all electricity costs for charging the vehicle, so really, all you’re paying for is the lease. No cost to drive. No cost to charge. No cost to maintain.
That’s a plan that we absolutely adore.
If you decide to purchase or lease a fully electric Hyundai Ioniq, you’ll want to look at some accessories. Accessories are a great way to highlight certain aspects of your vehicle, and make sure that you’re personalizing the vehicle to be just the car that you want. These are our five favorite accessories for the electric Ioniq.
Interior lights are a little bit hit and miss. A lot of people think they look tacky, but there are certainly a large number of folks who think they’re awesome. We’re in the camp that they’re cool. At least, in the right car, and for the right demographic.
The Ioniq is that right car. It’s a fun vehicle, and it’s unique and hip due to being fully electric. So why not add to that with some awesome interior lights that add some style, flair, and personality to the interior of the vehicle?
This is a comprehensive light kit. It comes with front map lights, rear dome lights, sun visor lights, trunk lights, and license plate tag lights. The license plate tag lights are white, while the rest of the lights can be had in an array of awesome colors. Basically all of your basic interior lights are replace by exciting, eye-popping colorful lights.
They’re also really easy to install, which is really great. You don’t need any special equipment or wiring talents, and it will take well under half an hour to fully install them. They’re reliable lights, and the shine is bright but not abrasive.
But it all comes down to the style. We think this pop of color really adds a fun, youthful infusion to an electric Ioniq. If you disagree, then these are not the right accessory for you. But if you also think these add a splash of fun, then you’ll be really happy installing these in your Ioniq.

Floor mats are a must. It doesn’t matter what kind of vehicle you have, floor mats are simply a must. They keep your car clean by picking up the dirt, snow, mud, and dust that you track into your car. That way, none of those dirty elements end up on your car, where they can leave stains and cause odors that will be hard to get rid of, and ultimately drive down the resale value of your car.
Floor mats are extra important with a new car, such as an electric Hyundai Ioniq. When you’re starting with a new car, you want to do everything necessary to keep it as clean as possible. A set of all weather floor mats does exactly that, and can help you maintain your Ioniq.
This set of floor mats is available in black or tan, and includes mats for both front seats, and the full rear seat area. The three-layer structure includes semi-hard xpe foaming, a patented maxpider bottom, and a top layer of thermoplastic rubber in carbon fiber texture. These materials work together to create a perfect set of all weather floor mats. They’re soft enough to be comfortable when you’re in the car, and provide support for your feet.
They’re strong enough to be durable for a long time; you won’t have to buy a second set anytime soon. These floor mats will last as long as your Ioniq does. They’re also easy to install, easy to remove, and an absolute breeze to clean. And they utilize anti-slip technology so that the floor mats won’t move at all when you’re getting into the car, getting out of it, and using the gas and brake pedals.
The Ioniq is good for the environment, and so are these floor mats. The non-toxic, odorless material is environmentally friendly, which is just another addition to the green vehicle that the Ioniq is.
You can buy the 3D MAXpider all weather floor mats here.
The electric Ioniq has a really nice, 7-inch navigation screen included. This is a really high quality navigation screen with a stellar interface, and a pretty clear picture. It works with the electric Ioniq to provide you information about the vehicle, as well as covering all of your infotainment needs.
But as is the case with all screens, it needs to be protected. Navigation screens, including this one, are really durable, but that doesn’t you can get away with not protecting them. Instead, screen protectors are a really important addition to any vehicle with a navigation screen.
This screen protector is waterproof, so if you manage to spill liquid on your center console, the protector will keep your navigation screen from being damaged. The oleophobic coating layer allows the screen protector to be easily cleaned whenever it gets dirty or greasy. Simply wipe it off with a little alcohol and a microfiber towel (both are included with the purchase), and it’s clean and good to keep on using.
The automatic absorption also ensures that no condensation will build up between the screen and the protector. The screen protector is anti-scratch, so no amount of recklessness or fingernails will cause damage. Yet despite that, the screen protector doesn’t keep you from being able to easily use the touch screen. The screen still has full sensitivity, even with the protector installed over it.
Speaking of installation, it couldn’t be easier. All the parts necessary to add the screen protector are included, and you can have the process done in about five minutes.
The navigation screen on an Ioniq is great, but needs to be protected. It’s a lot cheaper to buy a screen protector than to buy a new navigation system.
You can buy the LFOTPP navigation screen protector here.
These door covers are the perfect blend of style and substance. We haven’t used products like this in many cars, but after seeing these accessories for the Ioniq, we might have to start purchasing more of these.
This set comes with four door covers. The covers run along the inner base of each door. These add an anti-scratch element to your door panels, which are very easy to damage. You don’t notice it, but it’s really common to damage the inside of your door panels. Most times that you get in or out of your car, you kick the inside of the door, or scrape your foot alongside of it. Over time, a lot of damage occurs, and the door panel can start to look really worn. This is not only a bad look, but also lowers resale value.
With these door covers, you protect that vulnerable part of your vehicle. But not only do you keep it from getting damaged with these protectors, but you add a stylish element. These covers are designed to replicate carbon fiber, which is probably the most aesthetically pleasing automotive material in the world. As such, the covers look really stylish, and do a great job of fitting into the aesthetic of the Ioniq.
Speaking of which, these are made specifically to fit the Ioniq, so you don’t have to worry about the fit. You also don’t have to worry about the installation, as these things are a breeze to install. They’re pretty much as simple as taking them out of the package, and sticking them on.
The price and ease of use suggest that these might not be a high quality product, but they really help keep your car healthy and in good shape, and they look terrific while doing so.
You can buy the AutomotiveApple door protect anti scratch cover here.
We cannot say this enough: always protect your car. It’s that simple. Always protect your car! If you protect your car you make it look better, you save yourself money in repairs and maintenance, and you put a lot more money in your pocket if and when you decide to sell your vehicle.
This is doubly true when you have a new car. So if you just bought an electric Ioniq, and it’s nice and pristine, you want to protect it before it’s too late.
This is why we always purchase covers for our car. Covers protect your car from all of the elements. They keep rain, snow, and condensation from damaging your paint. They keep the sunlight from wearing out your pain and interior and causing massive fading. They keep the harsh wind and air from damaging the car. And they keep tree sap, branches, and bird droppings from denting or staining your car’s pain.
This OxGord car cover is one of the best covers that we’ve seen. You can use a tool on the company’s website or on Amazon to make sure that you find the perfect size cover, so that the fit is tight, snug, and extra secure.
The five-layer car cover features three layers of spunbond polypropylene, and one layer each of soft fleece and micro-porous film. The result is a weatherproof, durable car cover that’s still soft against the exterior of your Ioniq. It’s also breathable, so it will keep condensation, mildew, and molding from occurring in or on the car.
This product comes with a storage bag, and doesn’t take up much space. We recommend storing it in your trunk at all times, so you can protect your pretty Ioniq wherever you go.

Hyundai has done a great job with the Ioniq line. There’s a terrific gas-electric hybrid, as well as a plug-in hybrid in the pipeline. But we’re most excited about the fully electric Ioniq, which has an impressive range of 124 miles, despite a modest price tag.
There are a lot of good things associated with the Hyundai brand. All of those things are on display with the electric Ioniq. It’s an innovative vehicle that is a joy to drive, is easy on the eyes, and is as practical and reliable as you could hope for. Add in some of these accessories, and you’ve got a dream daily driver for your garage. | 2019-04-22T07:58:14 | https://mycarneedsthis.com/buyers-guide-and-top-five-accessories-for-the-hyundai-ioniq/ |

A KPMG study a few years ago estimated that family businesses accounted for two-thirds of India’s GDP. That’s pretty much in line with trends in the US where family businesses account for roughly 64 percent of the GDP.
The difference, though, may be that while in the US some 35 percent of the top 500 companies are family-controlled, in India, that figure would be over 70 percent. So while the Ambanis, Birlas, Godrejs, Piramals et al are familiar names on the Indian business landscape, little is known about the thousands of largely unlisted universe of family-owned businesses doing their bit for economic growth, job creation and the country’s entrepreneurial fabric.
Many of these are built around the core of a flagship activity that is regional in nature, but now harbouring pan-India aspirations. In a few cases, the newfound growth ambitions are riding on the back of technological innovations that can give a fresh impetus to time worn businesses. A perfect example: Cycle Pure Agarbathies from the Mysuru-headquartered NR Group, which has taken puja rituals digital with a website and app. The aim is to become a one-stop e-shop for all puja needs, from camphor, to a puja bell, to a holder for the product at the core–the incense stick.
Like the Ranga Raos of the NR Group, the Singhs of ACG Worldwide are low profile to a fault. With a next-gen scion now at the helm as managing director, ACG has quietly become a global pharma services giant with annual revenues expected to hit $500 million in FY2018. As Forbes India’s Aveek Datta, who doggedly pursued the Singhs, explains: “ACG’s strength is that it has built a global reputation for frugal innovation, cost-effective products, a strong R&D base and efficient customer service.” Read this fortnight’s cover story.
Family businesses are known to be more entrepreneurial than widely-held ones. The flipside, though, is that most are not known for their risk appetite and their keenness to access capital. In this edition’s family business special, we capture contrasting businesses: One set that conforms to the trend and the other that bucks it.
There is, for instance, India’s third largest packaged tea label Wagh Bakri, which is content with single-digit profit growth on annual sales of ₹1,100 crore. Profit maximisation is not a credo of the Desais, whose founder was a follower of Mahatma Gandhi in the early 1900s. Growth for the Desais is an imperative but not an end in itself.
At the other end of the spectrum are the Talwalkars , who are now relying on investor and IPO funds to expand beyond fitness—into large-format sports clubs with swimming pools, tennis courts, restaurants… the works. Clearly, it’s horses for courses for Indian business families.
Getting listed on the stock exchanges is, of course, a totally different ball game. Investors are typically sceptical of a high concentration of shareholding with the family. An independent board in such cases is often a casualty and, with it, corporate governance.
A company that’s tasted some success in breaking this mould is Wipro , where the Premjis control roughly 75 percent of the shares. An IFC scorecard on corporate governance shared exclusively with Forbes India suggests that Wipro has shown a sharp increase in its scores to figure among the top rankers. For an inside look at how Wipro did it, Harichandan Arakali met up with the top brass of the IT services major and came back with some fascinating insights and anecdotes. Don’t miss his piece. | 2019-04-21T15:09:34 | http://www.forbesindia.com/column/column/indias-family-businesses-pursuing-newfound-ambitions/49425/1 |
These are some lies we made up about Saint John.
An extraterrestrial tourist from another solar system is known to have been distinguished on numerous occasions at Bull Run at midnight tossing pieces of wood into the water.
A space alien from another world can every now and then be observed crawling out of a storm drain on a Saint John residential road late at night.
A lady burning, clutching a kerosene bottle was noticed snooping in mailboxes after midnight in Saint John. This spirit is fantastically active in this area; there have been a few additional stories of this precise spirit.
A space alien materialized in a Saint John secondary school at midnight strolling the hallways.
An extremely large snake was witnessed in a trailer near Saint John.
Ferdinand Magellan materialized in a Saint John area auto part store, strolling the aisles.
The ghost of a planter sporting a worn straw hat was made out flinging stones at night by a road sign in Saint John. This is one of those ghosts that is made out very often in the vicinity. Loads of residents declare this ghost is the undead soul of a long gone Saint John local.

Scientists in Canada have made DNA cubes that are programmed to unzip and reveal molecules locked inside them in response to a carefully chosen trigger. Hanadi Sleiman and colleagues at McGill University and the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, designed the cubes to release the drug cargo they might be carrying only in diseased cells and not normal cells.
The DNA cube was also modified with hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains to modulate its cellular uptake and prevent enzymatic degradation.
‘Compared with previous DNA origami-based designs the present system does not rely on the use of M13 [bacteriophage] DNA and can therefore be applied to many targets,’ comments Hiroshi Sugiyama, a DNA nanotechnology expert at Kyoto University in Japan.
Next the team hope to demonstrate the encapsulation and release of sensitive oligonucleotide drugs, such as siRNA, using their new DNA platform. | 2019-04-20T00:22:12 | https://www.chemistryworld.com/research/dna-cube-programmed-for-an-exclusive-reveal/7271.article |

. Between getting her store up and running and uneasily settling back into her charming Lake Michigan hometown, Ava Oosterling has her plate full. She hopes using local fresh dairy and her own flavorful imagination to cook up one-of-a-kind fudge will also create a brand-new start for her. And if she can tempt wealthy exfilm star Rainetta Johnson to try her newest creation, Cinderella Pink, at a local fund-raiser, maybe her road to big-time success will be short and sweet. But when Rainetta chokes to death on a stolen diamond hidden in the fudge’s fluffy depths, Ava is pegged as the prime suspect. Now saving her business and reputation means investigating a batch of townspeople who had numerous reasons to hate disdainful, hard-bargaining Rainetta. With Ava’s best friend and her former flame in the suspect mix, she must figure out who the real culprit is fast or face a very bitter end. | 2019-04-18T18:21:08 | http://booklikes.com/first-degree-fudge-christine-desmet/book,9393214 |
Everyone can look back and reminisce about when they were kids. Everything was so much simpler then. We had very little to stress about. Unless there was a particular disaster, we can all remember frolicking and playing a lot. Those were our happy years, we could take anything, add our imagination and create a world of happiness.
At that time, we were free for the strictures of human expectations. When we were sad, we cried, when we were happy we showed it too. As we grew, life became complicated, and we became serious. Our smile was gradually replaced by our battle face. Now we fight for everything; for the best job and the best position. Everybody is the enemy, so why should we smile?
As we become more serious, we are also become sicker. It is a scientific fact that laughter is vital to our health! In 1964, American journalist, Norman Cousins, was diagnosed with a rare disease and was told he had 0.2% chance of survival. His research revealed that his medicines and his illness were draining Vitamin C from his body.
Laughter is free, and we can get it by just releasing our inner child. We have many reasons to stress but there also many reasons to laugh.
His research led him to a drastic decision, he replaced his doctor with one who accepted him as a health partner and not a patient. Next, he started massive doses of Vitamin C and he binge-watched comedies, so he could also get massive doses of laughter. The result, he lived 26 years longer than anyone predicted.
Did laughter cure him, we can’t say for sure. However, scientists confirm that laughter increases the levels of T-cells, our body’s natural cancer-fighting agents. Some T-cells, though present, are also triggered when we laugh. Other antigens that fight upper respiratory illnesses and repair damaged cells are also triggered by laughter.
All of that from just laughing? YES! Yet, we take laughing for granted and walk around with a grimace. Laughter is free, and we can get it by just releasing our inner child. We have many reasons to stress but there also many reasons to laugh. There are too many things to be thankful for, and a lot to be happy about.
Treat yourself to a good laugh now and again; it’s cheap medicine. Your body and heart will be refreshed and heal themselves because of it. | 2019-04-25T06:31:59 | https://www.iyfjamaica.com/mind-edu/why-so-serious/ |

Back in 2013 the FAA announced news of a new policy ordering medical exams for flight traffic controllers and pilots with a body mass index (or BMI) of more than 40 to be assessed by medical sleep specialists to conclusively determine if they have obstructive sleep apnea.
The assumption here by the FAA is that if pilots and traffic controllers have a BMI of 40 or above, they would almost certainly suffer from sleep apnea. Whether or not this is actually the case, the logic presented here by the FAA is that sleep apnea sufferers also endure reflex and awareness loss due to lack of restful sleep, which can endanger the people they are flying or the pilots they are directing.
This of course has lighted up a controversy and for multiple different reasons, has set all sides into a frenzy. However, the underlying issue here is safety so the question has to be asked, is there any evidence of sleep apnea being a direct cause or even a mitigating factor in any aviation accidents in the last decade or so?
To be fair to both sides, the FAA isn’t banning pilots with sleep apnea from flying period, they are just demanding that pilots and air traffic controllers first get treatment before flying or performing their jobs.
While this seems to some to be a drastic measure, the intention isn’t to witch-hunt heavyset pilots, but in the end, to ensure safety by narrowing down the causes of accidents and then addressing them. Apparently due to public outcry, this stance may not be taken by the FAA and a new solution, one possibly more compromising, is being sought.
Another question arises here as well, why just pilots and air traffic controllers? What about bus drivers, cab drivers or any other public servant or transportation specialist? And if we’re going to single them out, why not every single driver on the road?
When looked at objectively from both sides it’s doubtful that any real solution will please both sides equally. But one thing is certain, the debate at the very least sheds more light on sleep apnea and greatly increases public awareness, if nothing else. This debate could spark a much wider range of publication and thereby prompt more people into seeking sleep apnea treatment. | 2019-04-26T02:27:33 | https://www.danmatthewsdds.com/faa-delays-sleep-apnea-rule/ |

I believe that anyone who wants to improve their mental health needs to be given the opportunity and tools to be able to do so. Positive change is not usually easy, but it is definitely worth it in the long run!
Dr Damon Ashworth is a Clinical Psychologist who specialises in treating sleep disorders. This is primarily Chronic Insomnia, but he also assists people with Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders (advance or delayed sleep phase disorder), Hypersomnia, Narcolepsy, Restless Legs Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Parasomnias including sleep talking, sleepwalking, nighttime hallucinations, nightmares and night terrors.
Dr Ashworth completed a Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at Monash University and a Bachelor of Behavioural Sciences and a Bachelor of Psychological Science with Honours at La Trobe University.
His Doctoral research was a randomised clinical trial that significantly reduced insomnia and depression severity of participants across only four sessions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
These promising findings were published in the Journal of Counselling Psychology and were the first in the world to show that CBT-I can significantly improve both mood and sleep in individuals who have previously failed to progress through antidepressant treatment.
Dr Ashworth applies all of the knowledge that he has learnt throughout his research, studies and personal experiences to help clients who seek a greater understanding of their difficulties as well as strategies to improve their psychological health and well-being.
Dr Ashworth has a specific interest in Health Psychology and has worked with Caulfield Rehabilitation Hospital and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in helping people adjust to and cope with severe and chronic physical conditions.
He is also interested in trauma-focused Psychology and has experience in treating trauma-based symptoms in war-veterans and other individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dr Ashworth takes a client-centred approach to treatment and aims to reduce distress and improve well-being in clients while helping them to achieve their goals.
He practices mostly from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy framework, but also utilise Existential, Psychodynamic, Interpersonal, Humanistic, and Positive Psychology principles where clients will benefit from such approaches.
Dr Ashworth is passionate about the field of Psychology and always aims to apply the latest empirical findings to best help individuals meet their psychological and emotional needs.
Dr Ashworth is currently volunteering as a Mental Health Specialist with the Vanuatu Ministry of Health in Port Vila, Vanuatu. He is assisting the Mind Care Unit at the Port Vila Central Hospital. He is volunteering under the Australian Volunteer Program, which is sponsored by the Australian Government.
Thanks for taking an interest in my blog. Looking quickly through a few of your posts, I wonder if you subscribed to ‘findings’ (findings.org.uk) – this brings together the best evidence in tackling substance misuse with regular updates, but much of the evidence has relevance across psychology and helping professions. If you don’t know it, I would strongly recommend that you subscribe and explore the materials on the site. Best wishes.
Yes indeed – I have been a suscriber for many years. Good to know that you are connected in to it.
Oh dear – old age is kicking in, and I am replying to my own comments!! Time to go back to the alcohol…….
Your blog is very fascinating.
Your blog is incredible! I’ve been reading a few of your posts, and I’m just honored that such a qualified clinical psychologist has followed my blog. Thank you so, so much and I wish the best for your career (fully knowing that a career in science is far from easy).
I am taking some time to peruse through some of your posts. I am currently working on my Master’s thesis. My specific interest is in forensic psychology and my thesis research is centered around correctional education and the role that it plays in recidivism. However, I have several other areas that I am interested in. Research on the link between insomnia and depression is intriguing. I have suffered from insomnia for many years. I may have to look for your article. It is nice to connect with you. Thanks for checking out my blog, as well.
Damon, Thank you for following me! I admire your areas of interest – I hope to collaborate with you in the future in my efforts to pursue in my field of interest in emotional regulations and cognition! Your doctoral thesis has caught my attention- I would love to take a peek at some of your works in CBT. Keep on posting, I look forward to reading more of your content! 🙂 All the best!

Yours to hand of the 25th inst. We were no where near that raid on a base hospital last week, I havn’t read an account of it in the papers at all but I hear there were a lot of casualties. I am not quite 40ft under the ground like Maude’s brother is but I am quite 20ft down in a fairly comfortable old German dug-out. I havn’t met Harold at all out here. I don’t think I am anywhere near him. It would be rather a change for you to go selling flags do you have to do it in the railways time. Vaccination doesn’t “take” on some people but others make up for it sometimes. The C.L.B. is certainly coming on they used to have a decent gym but I think what they want most is an instructor; at any rate it will be more of an attraction for the boys. I read of the new club room in the mag but I dare say it will be hard to run while the war is on. My hair is not very long with over two months growth on top. You know I had a “crop” before I left England. I had a “trim up” last week when we were down. I had a letter from Dad today and he tells me Mabel is helping him with his books in her spare time. Getting ready for après la gare. I havn’t any more to write this time so will close.
Another month less, etc. etc. I received a letter from you last night but havn’t got it to hand just now. I can only say that I am still keeping fairly well and that is the main thing you want to know, isn’t it? Of course I could tell you all that on a field card but we havn’t had an issue for about a fortnight now. As for green envelopes they are a thing of the past I have been offered 2F.50C for one if I had it to sell but of course that would not be worth it “if” I had one. I hope are all well and safe from air raids and also that you get enough to eat. I would like you to remember me to Mr Clark he must feel quite a free man now; by the way, isn’t he liable to be called up for military service or is he exempt. Please excuse such a short letter but I am writing under difficulties. I must now close.
Thanks very much for parcel received this morning at 3o’cl. I dare say you wonder at me getting it at such a time, well I had just come off a working party and you know a lot of our work is done of a night. The reason for time going so quickly is because of this night work; being asleep the greater part of the day (6AM to 6PM) we don’t notice them pass. Needless to state the contents of the parcel were very nice, thank you. You make very good cake although you say you can only get war time material which is not so good as pre-war stuff. I am now reading a story “all men are Liars” by Joseph Hocking is it true? I suppose literally speaking it is, but there, it cannot be helpful can it. I would like you to read it it is very interesting. I cannot send it to you as it is only lent but you will be able to obtain it easily in London, I dare say. Yours received of the 22nd inst. thank you very much for the tablets I might say that I am glad I have not had to use the other yet but will let you know if I have to and am running out. When your dreams do not appear very nice you know the saying “Reverse your dreams” when they are alright so well and good. The “I hope to be discharged soon” on field cards means discharged from hospital so you see why I don’t hope to be discharged because I am not in there. etc: You can guess that I “Love this life like everybody else: it would be alright if it wasn’t for the fact that there is a possibility of getting hurt. If I am not at the base it does not imply that I am in the trenches or fighting area. There are “rest camps” you know. Your letters always take about 5 or 6 days to get here. Please remember me to Mr Warder I havn’t his address or I might write him. I know it is 9 Lysinder Grove or something like that. I had not heard of a suggestion to bomb Berlin I hope it proves successful. Please remember me to Mrs Chard and thank Mrs Shovell for the choc: I received a letter from Mabel. Thanks for the writing paper. I have quite a stock now. I will now conclude.
It is now 8.30.pm and I am scorching hot by just walking a few yards. I don’t know if it is being just a little nearer the equator that makes it so hot if so I am glad that I am not right down the south of France. Are you having such weather in England. I see by this evenings paper that there has been an air raid on London I trust that you all are quite safe. There is nothing exciting happened that I might tell you about and I dare say you know more about the war than I do myself at any rate you are at least two days more up to date than I. We are still at rest which of course means occasional working parties. I wrote to one of old band boys this morning who is of low category in England he is now at Thetford in Norfolk. Some Batts out here have cut their trousers down to knickers: I wish we were doing the same. That is something to tell Hurbert Bertie. Our drum-major has some names towards a B.B. but wants about half a dozen more before attempting to start one. I am sorry that I cannot write more trusting that you are all quite well.
It is now Bank Holiday Monday and the weather is glorious. We all walk about without our tunics on and then it is too hot to do much strenuous work. We are now out for a short rest and I hope that by the time we go back this heat wave has passed. We had a cold shower bath yesterday and it was grand. I haven’t received a letter from you for three whole days now I suppose they have got held up on the way. You see I have some writing paper now. Dad sent it in parcel which came just at the right moment; just as we got into our billit from the line. We had some Stew for dinner today (with a capital “S”) and plum duff with no plums in it.
Yours just received of15th and 16th inst they enable me to write a little longer letter. I havn’t met this newly discovered cousin yet. I think he is in hospital but I don’t know what ails him. Will won’t be able to carry on the F.W.D. now I see Gertie is taking it on I guess she misses him but she is only one among many. If I remember correctly you went on a ramble Whit: Monday last year. I am looking forward toward the time when I can accompany you. When accompanying the Lord’s Prayer and Creed in a monotone I always used to extemporise it is very easy and you’ll get used to it; I cannot write a piece without having the key-board in front of me but I might try one of these times. You put it very mildly about the “bounders” but you would find them ten or twenty times worse in factories. I hope I am not condemning myself.
In answer to yours of the 7th inst. You will be surprised to know that we have been in “les tranchée” since May 1st but by the time you receive this we will be out. No I haven’t met any rabbits yet but there are plenty of rats here which would go very well stewed. Sorry you had to toss who should have the meat. I had to do that yesterday with myself and decided not to have any as it was too bad to eat. It happened today that a Lieu: Colonel came round and saw our dinners which literally weren’t good enough for dogs and I think he is looking into it further. I suppose by now you have been vaccinated have you had much pain with it I didn’t. You tell Bert that I would wear knickers if I could and that if he wants to help win the war not to go in for trousers as they take more material.
I think you must have read that card of 5th wrong. I don’t think I said I hadn’t heard for you for a long time; if you have it read it carefully again. I don’t know the song “The Great red dawn” but I see plenty out here. I like that piece of poetry very much. Yes I do know how fond you are of it. You don’t “gas” too much but I would like you to use both sides of the paper even if you only use one sheet; if my dad was to see your letters he would have a blue fit if you know what that’s like. I am sorry you haven’t heard from me for a long while by your letter of 12th inst but you know I have no writing paper. This is the cleanest sheet out of my note book which you see I had started to use. I am glad to hear that the congregation of the Church is good and I would like you to remember me to Mr Chapman and tell him I wish his concert a success helping to pay for the organ repairs. Yes, I was at Aldershot having a holiday this time last year. We have been in two or three more holes since that first one I spoke of. Old German dug-outs are much deeper than our own but I prefer ours because some daylight gets in at times. I didn’t know W.Mayne had been to Italy. I asked his where-abouts when I wrote home last. I was just about to write for some Harris’s Pomade and it is very thoughtful of you getting me some. I don’t get much time for writing now todays work is, on duty 12 mid night to 5am. breakfast 5.30 sleep 6am – 12 noon dinner 12.45 work from 2pm to 5 tea 5.30 stand to from 7-8 on from 9 till 12 mid. No wonder time flies. I have had one case self inflicted bullet wound through bysept muscles upper right arm. Accident. Bad wound. 5 inch by 1½ and out another hole through the other side. You must excuse all these scraps of paper as I can’t get any other stuff. You see one letter is about a week old but you must excuse that as I hadn’t an envelope. I think I will have to come on you for another note book now as I have used it all up in letters.
P.S. Please will you call at Mrs Gibbs, 121 Roman St, Clerkenwell E.C.1 for Charlie’s address for me at your own leisure. My Pa will direct you to it: it is near the reservoir on the top of Pentonville Hill. It is a Singer’s sewing machine shop. I met Mrs Gibbs when Charlie was on his final leave. | 2019-04-24T22:00:00 | https://dear-emmie.com/2018/05/ |
One of my most favourite things to do from a photography perspective, is to capture my beautiful nieces and handsome nephews at play. Unfortunately, the atlantic ocean creates somewhat of a barrier in terms of doing this on a regular basis. So when we found ourselves in my hometown of St Helens (England) en-route back from Africa recently – I jumped at the opportunity to indulge!
On this occasion, I also toted with me one of the coolest props EVER….a ‘big love ball’. You can learn more about BLB and its talented creator Wendy Williams Watt at http://bigloveball.com/. Wendy has been working away diligently over the summer to share her vision of a ‘Universal Family Portrait’.
Here’s my little Euro contribution to that wonderful vision….and in addition to some much needed “auntie time” on my part, the kiddos really seemed to have a blast!
You’ve gotta love the ‘big love ball’!
What a wonderful series. Love the BLB. | 2019-04-22T03:08:09 | https://carrymycamera.com/2014/10/19/big-love-ball-lands-in-the-uk/ |

But many are concerned about surveillance and hacking More than four in 10 (43%) British workers think the main benefit of workplace wearables is improved employee wellness. This was followed by improved health, cited by 41% of workers, and improved productivity (36%), according to the poll of 1,000 workers. Four in 10 (42%) workers thought stress monitoring was the most appropriate use of wearables, followed by the monitoring of physical health (41%), productivity (30%) and mental health (24%). However, many said they were concerned about the impact such devices could have on stress and mental health, cited by 49% and 43% of workers respectively. Half of employees said they are keen to feel the benefits of wearables in the workplace, however 67% said they were worried their adoption could lead to a “big brother” surveillance culture. Another 64% were afraid data from devices could be hacked.

Sedona-Oak Creek Unified School District #9 (Sedona), a district of 1,500 students located in Northern Arizona, consists of two K-8 and one 9-12 school. While the district may be small in terms of student population and number of facilities, administrators are proving large in terms of planning for the future. Specifically, the district is in the process of installing solar energy projects to reduce energy costs.
As is common in other states, Arizona school districts received a certain amount of money from the state every year that was earmarked to pay for utilities in excess of a baseline. In Arizona, that amount was based on a figure that was developed several years ago and was intended to help school districts offset fluctuations in utility rates. Since 2009, that help from the state has disappeared, and school districts now must pay for all utility costs from the same budget that funds the classroom teachers and supplies.
The first project, completed in spring of 2009, was a 100-kW, roof-mounted, thin film system located at Big Park Community School, offsetting approximately 35 percent of the school’s electricity cost.
The largest project includes an 806-kW, ground-mounted, solar photovoltaic array at Sedona Red Rock High School, which was completed last fall. The system is not only an energy saver, but also a teaching tool for the science program at the high school.
The next project to come online will be a roof-mounted, crystalline panel system at the new district office, including a geothermal HVAC system and 48 kW of solar photovoltaics, which will offset a portion of the office’s electricity.
The fourth project, at West Sedona School, is a rebuilt pool that will have a solar thermal system to heat the water in the pool, as opposed to using a gas boiler, the panels of which will double as shade structures for the swimmers. “So, there’s a dual benefit to putting in the solar thermal system at the pool,” says Dave Young, LEED-AP, Sedona’s project manager via Arcadis, an international firm that manages the bond. The school will also boast a 58-kW, ground-mounted, solar photovoltaic system to help offset electricity costs.
Because it’s a school district, Sedona didn’t receive any federal incentives or tax breaks to reduce the cost of the projects. However, a $1.8-million rebate for the high school from local power provider APS reduced the cost of that project from $4.8 million to $3 million, Young notes. From this investment, the district will save 1.2 million kW hours per year at the high school, between 50 percent and 60 percent of its electricity consumption. Specifically, administrators anticipate saving more than $100,000 in the first year from the high school’s system.
“The obvious benefit of solar,” says Young, “is it reduces the amount of power the high school consumes. It also means that there is additional savings in the maintenance and operations budget, which provides teachers’ salaries and school supplies.” Plus, as utilities increase, the cost of the system won’t go up — it’s paid for and will keep on generating electricity.
The average payback for one photovoltaic system is about 12 years. And, because the four projects are different, each has its own payback period.
Panel installation is easy — they simply plug together. If one panel stops working, the string (usually 12 to 15 individual panels) that it is attached to stops working, but all the other strings in the array continue to operate. To put that in perspective, the Sedona High School project includes 3,838 panels. If one panel stops working, an entire string of 14 stops working, but the remaining 3,824 panels remain in operation.
Sedona administrators have recognized several other bonuses of using solar energy. One is what Thomas calls the “touchy feely” aspect — it’s good public relations to say that you’re using less electricity produced from coal-burning plants.
In planning for their future, Sedona administrators are getting more bang for their buck than they probably anticipated. Of course they knew they would realize huge savings from generating electricity via solar power, but did they anticipate the benefits of good public relations, keeping the investment local and a stronger science program? Regardless, they’re clearly taking advantage of all that solar power offers. | 2019-04-21T22:04:15 | https://webspm.com/articles/2011/04/01/sedona-school-district-goes-solar.aspx |

Well, we've seen a new Rebel ship and a new Imperial ship for the next wave of X-Wing Miniatures Game releases. How about the Scum & Villainy faction? Well, they're certainly not left out in the cold vacuum of space. They're getting their own ships, one of which is the Mist Hunter.
This ship has been rather anticipated since it brings a new sort of weapon to the field: the tractor beam. This new attack works quite differently than any other, and is certain to bring a whole new bit of tactical depth to the game. You attack as usual and if you hit, don't do any damage, but you do get to... play around... a bit with your enemy ship. Using the Tractor Token allows the attacking player to cause the enemy ship to either do a barrel roll maneuver or a boost maneuver (even if the ship isn't usually allowed to do such a maneuver). This can place enemy ships outside of firing lines, or even into obstacles on the field.
The Tractor Beam, of course, is just one small part of what you get in the new expansion, but it has a chance to make a pretty big impact on the game. | 2019-04-19T10:41:02 | https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/fantasy-flight-games-previews-mist-hunter-expansion-for-x-wing-miniatures-game |

STOKE CITY have completed the signing of James McClean from West Bromwich Albion, making him the Club's fourth arrival of the summer transfer window.
The Potters have paid an initial £5million for the 29-year-old Republic of Ireland winger, although the fee could rise to £6million with add-ons.
McClean has signed a four-year contract and follows Peter Etebo, Benik Afobe and Adam Federici in checking-in at the bet365 Stadium ahead of the 2018-19 season.
Manager Gary Rowett said: "James is a player I've admired for a long time. He has real quality with his left foot and he's an old fashioned winger in so much that he retains width and gives teams balance.
"Every time I've watched him play I've always been impressed by how hard he worked - he's a team player who shows real desire to help his teammates out and run for the team.
McClean, who has been capped 59 times by the Republic, has made more than 350 career appearances - almost half of which have come in the Premier League with Sunderland and West Brom. He has also served Wigan. | 2019-04-25T13:04:34 | https://www.stokecityfc.com/news/mcclean-becomes-a-potter |
C(live) S(taples) Lewis (1898-1963) who did not like his given names and was always known to his friends as Jack, was a (real) British novelist, poet, academic, lay theologian, broadcaster, and lecturer. He held academic positions at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities and is best known for his fictional work, especially The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, including Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain and A Grief Observed, written after the death of his wife and questioning some of his own earlier simplistic ideas.
The (fictional) C S Lewis, as imagined by Kel Richards, seems closely modelled on what we know about the original. He "was dressed as he always was: an old grey Harris tweed jacket with leather patches on the elbows; trousers of thickish grey flannel, creased and very out at the knees; sturdy brown walking boots, and an old grey felt hat. With his ruddy, cheerful face he looked like a farmer who'd be happy to stop for a chat about the weather and price of sheep." He was "the mildest of men" but had a "great voice .... that could fill an Oxford lecture hall." According to his brother, he "could run rings around Sherlock Holmes for sheer brainpower". Having made the journey "from atheism, to philosophical idealism, to theism, to Christianity," he was "someone who relished a good scrap over serious ideas."
Kelvin Barry ("Kel") Richards (1946 - ) was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He read philosophy both for his undergraduate and his Master's degrees at the University of New England, New South Wales and went on to become a journalist. He is the author of some 50 books ranging from children's stories to crime novels, as well as the bestselling Aussie Bible, and is a long established Australian radio host.
He first read CS Lewis as a teenager when he discovered that "being a Christian, you don't have to turn off your brain." He is now a Lay Canon at St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney (he says that means he's a small bore!). He is married to Barbara.
The Corpse in the Cellar is set the summer of 1933, when Oxford don Clive Staples Lewis, known to his friends as Jack, is on a walking holiday with his brother Warnie and (fictitious) young ex-student and friend Tom Morris, who is the narrator throughout and who luckily has "the ability to report conversations verbatim." When Jack's wallet is accidentally destroyed, they visit a bank in "Market Plumpton" in Cambridgeshire to replenish their funds - and walk straight into the scene of a "totally impossible" murder.The victim is in the vault of the bank alone, cut off by brick and steel from the rest of the world. Yet he has been stabbed from behind and the murder weapon has vanished. It is time to call in Scotland Yard - not that Jack really needs their help.
The tale is told in an enthusiastic and racy if sometimes naive style that echoes the character of the young narrator as when he tells us, ' "Jack has twice the brains of any Scotland Yard fellow," boasts Warnie "with brotherly loyalty. Although it was more than that, I knew: my old tutor had a brain the size of the Albert Hall".' But it is not so much the size of his brain that impresses the reader as the inanity of the people around him!
Meanwhile Jack explains to the ever-argumentative Tom about the "jigsaw puzzle of life" that only make sense if you look at "the picture on the top of the box. That will show us the whole picture and how everything fits together - or is meant to fit together .... When an atheist is converted to Christianity, as I was, what he finds is not that he's lost everything he once believed but that it now fits into a larger picture - the picture towards which it had been pointing all the time."
However, Warnie did not seem to have much time for Jack's theological ideas: " Warnie had completely lost interest in our discussion and had pulled a pack of grimy old cards from his pocket and begun to play solitaire". It is he who later tells a not-too-bright local police constable, "If you'd read as many detective novels as I have, you'd know those Scotland Yard chaps never know what's going on. Always has to be someone to tell them!" It is all very simplistic but it makes an interesting story even if some of the dialogue sounds not only deliberately dated but sometimes rather clumsy.
Jack enjoys being provoked by the agnostic young Tom Morris into putting up a lively defence of Christianity which is certainly of some interest, but, once the murder mystery gets under way, all this talk slows down the action and proves something of a distraction. Even so, there is an interesting summary of Lewis's teaching about "the vital bit science can never discover - the intention, the purpose, behind this world behind our lives" - but is a rather simplistic detective story like this, complete with melodramatic ending, the most effective way of communicating such ideas? It was an imaginative idea to involve CS Lewis, but is he not worthy of a less naive interrogator than young Tom?
The author explains that he felt it necessary to write several books in the series so to do justice to CS Lewis's character and beliefs. It will be interesting to find out what else he has to tell us about him.
The Country House Murders is set in the spring of 1934, less than 12 months after the previous case. It gets off to an arresting start with young Tom Morris writing to tell his old tutor C S Lewis that he (Tom) is about to be arrested and charged with murder. Tom had been given a job cataloguing the library of Plumwood Hall when one of the family had keeled over at afternoon tea after eating a slice of fruit cake laced with poison. Inspector Hyde (frequently written off by Tom as weasel-like) is convinced that Tom must be the guilty party as he had been sitting next to the victim! This does not really seem a very likely situation.
"Jack" Lewis (who seems to have all the time in the world to spare) soon finds that he is faced with further mysteries: why did the victim's husband disappear twelve months before? Why is a strange tattooed foreigner living in a cottage on the moors? Who is the wild man of the woods? And most puzzling of all: how did a massive dose of cyanide get into just one slice of cake?
It does not make a very convincing plot as the aristocratic family are little more than caricatures. Jack Lewis with his "great brain" has little time for Inspector Hyde: "Our friend Hyde is a man for writing rosters and organising traffic duty, not solving puzzles," but he welcomes meeting up again with the much more intelligent Inspector Crispin of Scotland Yard who tells him, "I respect that deductive, detective mind of yours." All the talk of his mighty brain doesn't always seem matched by Jack's actual behaviour, as when he raises the question of how the poison got into the cake.
' "What do you suggest?" I asked.
A rather obvious thing to do, surely?
Tom, who says he wants to become a writer, has a breezy style of his own: when he enters the deserted hall, he describes the drawing room "as empty as the Gobi Desert on one of its quieter days." When other cyanide murders follow, he comments, "I had so many questions I could have popped onto one of those radio quiz shows and felt right at home."
As before, the narrative is broken up by theological discussions between Jack and Tom, this time on the subject of life after death. Tom argues that death means that "We are annihilated .... snuffed out like a flickering flame." Jack puts the Christian case for the soul to survive and face judgement. He reassures Tom, "the Christian's immediate future is in safe, powerful hands. And his long-term future is restoration to a restored physical world in a new restored body." The real C S Lewis learnt to be less glib. After suffering the death of his wife, at one point he even wondered whether God was good or "the Cosmic Sadist, the spiteful imbecile". But all that was to happen in later years.
The Floating Body is set in 1935. C S ("Jack") Lewis and his brother Warren ("Warnie") are visiting their young friend Tom Morris at Nesfield Cathedral School where Tom has now got a job as an acting teacher. Tom had suggested that Jack should be the guest speaker at the school's speech night. They become eyewitnesses to an impossible murder in which a teacher is stabbed to death by an unseen assailant, and Tom and Jack see his body fall from the rooftop, but the body doesn't hit the ground until the following day!
It is, the author explains, intended as a homage not only to C S Lewis but to Frank Richards, author of the popular Greyfriars School stories of the time. So it is full of expressions like "Yarooooh! Oh crikey! Oh crumbs!" and the school comes complete with "bounders", "the school bully", and "the school Toff". The result is not just unbelievable but plain silly, and even the narrator Tom does not seem to take it seriously. And the flippant style, though sometimes quite amusing, does not fit in comfortably with the lengthy theological digressions on such subjects as original sin. It is because of this, Lewis argues, that a murderer "is no oddity of nature, but a normal human being showing what our nature is capable of."
Although the story implausibly also involves diamond smugglers, it lacks any real sense of excitement or suspense and, despite an amusing description of the eccentric heasdmaster, only the main character, C S Lewis, holds the attention and even then there are too many references to his "mighty brain .... the size of the Albert Hall ". He certainly solves the impossible mystery even if the solution does stretch credibility rather too far, but the speech he delivers at the school speech night in which "he defended the existence of an objective moral code that applies at all times, in all places and in all cultures" seems remarkably ill suited to a schoolboy audience.
Tom, the narrator, still hopes to become a novelist and goes in for such purple patches as "the moon having faded as if it's batteries were running down, and the little illumination it provided being obscured by patches of cloud, rather like gloved fingers covering a lantern", and describes someone as the sort of person who "would howl at the full moon, eat broken glass for breakfast and devour her young." Or maybe this is just the author laughing at Tom's pretensions. But the totally unreal background makes it the least successful book in the series.
The Sinister Student is set in 1936. Clive Staples Lewis (known to all his friends as Jack) is hosting a gathering of that well-known literary group, The Inklings. Among the regulars are his brother Warnie, J. R. R. Tolkien, Neville Coghill, Hugo Dyson and Adam Fox. Two visitors are also attending: Jack's old pupil Tom Morris (who still narrates the story) and a weird undergraduate named Auberon Willesden.
The following morning Willesden is found murdered in his room in Magdalen, though both the door and the windows were locked from the inside. And not only has he been murdered: he has been beheaded and the head is missing! Who killed the student? And why? And how was it done? There is another mystery too as Jack is (improbably) suspected of cutting out pages from a valuable manuscript in the Bodleian Library!
The book gets off to a strong and interesting start with its inclusion of the (real life) Inklings who are discussing the last chapter of Tolkien's Hobbit epic, and there are amusing humorous touches. Tom has got himself a job on the Oxford Mail, and the Oxford background is convincingly described. Jack himself, despite his "intelligent, penetrating gaze", does not seem to have quite such an imposing "giant brain" as both his brother and Tom suppose, as Tom almost gets killed before Jack arrives to confront the murderer. It had been, as Jack put it, "a puzzle worthy of the collective intelligence of the Inklings."
It was Warnie who had actually identified the murder weapon. It had been beyond the power of a "primitive policeman's brain", as Tom so condescendingly puts it. One of the few policeman he approves of is Inspector Crispin who obligingly reports back to Jack on everything that the police discover as he is convinced that "at some point you'll have enough information to have an inspired idea of what happened and how it happened." He even takes Jack to see the latest severed head and lets him bring along Tolkein and Tom too as "the more Oxford brains I can engage in this mystery the better."
As always, any dramatic action is interrupted by theological discussions, this time on atonement, but they are mercifully shorter than before, although they still occur too frequently. Jack explains, "Jesus came to die. That was his mission. That was the purpose of his coming." It was " a ransom, a price paid" for human souls. And he gradually (if surprisingly) seems to be winning Tom over. Tom himself has now acquired a girlfriend of a sort who tells him he is nothing but a rabbit and calls him a "mindless buffoon". This does not sound too encouraging but Tom thinks he detects "a growing fondness" there." He really isn't too bright.
The Oxford background and the inclusion of the Inklings are of real interest, and it was starting to look as though this was the best and most convincing story in the series, when Tom suddenly fell through a hole in a wardrobe and went on to encounter a student who was a time traveller visiting from a future age to do some research! Not only is this incredibly silly and totally unconvincing, but Jack, Tolkein and Tom happily agree not to mention it to anybody (because, says Tolkein, "We know students and you strike us as a good sort")! It is all too absurd for words - but it is certainly an ingenious way of explaining how Jack was to hit upon the idea of a magic wardrobe into another world that he put to such good use in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!
However, the strange mixture of comic invention and serious theology, although certainly original, does not really work, although I am grateful to it for spurring me on to read Alister McGrath's biography of the real CS Lewis. He was so much more complex than these novels suggest.

Human brain follows the rule ‘use it or lose it’. So it is important to use your brain actively even after retirement. The fact is that, using the brain actively becomes more important as you age. Senior citizens need to keep themselves alert both physically and mentally, so that they remain healthy. According to Ntuchealth.sg, there are affordable health care services that include providing seniors with activities to keep them healthy and active. This helps them lead a fuller life.
When you retire from professional work and have no hobbies to fall back on, then your mind will no longer be sharp and you will feel the adverse effects of inactivity on your body soon. It is best to have some hobbies that you can pursue more seriously after retirement. If not, then there are many group activities for elderly in Singapore and other such cities. The elders can take part in these activities to keep themselves cheerful and active.
It is good to keep moving around and doing small chores around the house. This will be a kind of exercise for you physically and keep you mentally sound. You can adhere to a strict walking regimen that you follow twice a day to remain healthy and active. This will also help you keep in touch with neighbours, friends and other elderly people. If you are fit enough you can also walk your pet dog daily.
The other activities ideal for the elderly is for them to join a group who are into craft, writing, dramatics, sewing, photography, music or even adventure. They can join a book club where each one of them can discuss a book they have read. If you are fit enough, then you can even pursue non-strenuous games such as golf or board games such as carom or chess. Gardening is another hobby that can be cultivated after retirement.
In fact, sky is the limit for such activities for the elderly if they put their mind to it. The bottom line is that they should enjoy themselves and remain happy. | 2019-04-20T18:59:49 | http://www.newleashonlifega.org/fun-activities-for-elderly-people/ |

the gardiner's dirt: Off Kilter.
I think I have been running on empty too long. This is the second day in two weeks that I haven't woken up with a headache and how incredibly fortunate for me two set of blisters have popped up on my lips over the weekend - which means things really aren't right. How cute. One on top and one on bottom.
It's embarrassing that I wear my stress on the outside like this.
I'd like to think that I appear to be put somewhat together, but unfortunately I live with the curse of stress induced cold sores so my smile has a hard time hiding my frazzled mind.
Some of the biggest moments of my life are marked with them. I can't exactly remember how many grade school photos they've ruined; second grade was particularly bad. I do remember that one time in high school I had (count them) five! One was even in my nose.
Another - A souvenir from my honeymoon.
Next - A gift postpartum.
Now - A reminder that I am trying to make it through my last semester of nursing school.
8 more weeks. It's really so close that I can taste it.
Maybe then I can get myself put back together.
Labels: a little embarrasing, call me betty, i hate to admit it, reasons to call my mother, seriously?
I somehow came across your blog and I think you have an adorable family! We haven't even met, but maybe one day since our husbands are cousins (on the Brown side).
Had to leave a comment to thank you for sharing the naan and masala recipes!!! Made it for dinner last night and we both loved it. It's my new favorite meal.
Thank you Amber! I so look forward to meeting you as well sometime!
Sorry things are so frazzling right now. You will make it through though... you're tough like that.

Yay ~ I made it to Florida today.
While driving down Interstate 75, I had three things on my mind: checking the psi on my front tires, getting gasoline and buying some fresh picked pecans and peaches for which the South is famous.
At a Pilot Travel Center just over the state line, I asked a Pilot attendant where I could find the air hose. Not only did he point it out, he walked over and waited for me to pull my RV around, then he checked the tire pressure on both front tires for me. How kind….and what great service. I thanked him and we wished each other a great day.
Before getting back on the highway, I spotted a fruit stand in the corner under some shade trees selling watermelons, peaches and pecans. It’s like the Universe was helping me get in some one-stop shopping.
I parked and walked over to the stand. One of the 3 men selling produce came over to where I was looking at different kinds of watermelon. I was curious about some that were a very dark solid green color. The gentleman, Charlie, told me that they are the sweetest kind and thumped on the sides with the flat of his hand to let me hear the sound that tells when a watermelon is ripe.
When I picked one up, it seemed to weigh over 10 lbs. A pound of freshly shelled pecans and some ripe peaches completed my purchases. Then the man offered to carry the watermelon to my RV. On the way, he told me he was retired from the Army after 22 years of service and has 4 beautiful sons, one of whom went into the Navy.
After stowing my goods, I thanked him for his service and drove another 50 miles to O’Leno state park for the night. As soon as I got my electric and water hooked up, thunder and lightning commenced. I made it inside just as the storm began.
That was 3 hours ago, and it is still raining. One of the sweetest sounds is that of a summer rain on the roof of my little home on wheels with me safely snuggled inside.
Wherever I travel, I am always amazed and appreciative of the kindness and sharing of strangers or rather….. friends I have now just met.

Hey Sandy ~ I am applying for state park volunteer host positions in Wyoming for the summer. Which are closest to where you live?
What a great story. And such helpful people.
Oh, I forgot to tell you. I took a shower with a tiny frog when I was at the South Carolina park. It was sitting on a rail in the shower, enjoying the spray from my shower.
A very uplifting experience when people help you like that. I find people in general very helpful, especially when I am in the countryside or small towns. In the big cities I am almost afraid of people sometimes…they show no kindness in their eyes and I have some less good experiences behind me. Glad you are dry and fresh inside!
Always so nice to hear from you half a world away and yet so close in our mutual experiences.
We have stopped in to see Mr. Moses a couple of times. It’s almost like we look forward to it. When we purchased our 1st motor home in Tampa this was our first stop, my grandson pointed me in the direction of those tasty watermelons. Of course I had to have some of those pecans they are the best. We stopped here Labor Day weekend and Mr. Moses remembered us from our first time stopping. He gave me a lesson on how to pick a watermelon, we got peaches, and those wonderful pralines. Just added him to my address book so I can stop again. The hospitality and history is well worth the trip. | 2019-04-22T07:04:14 | https://tincantraveler.net/2018/08/29/moses-pecan-stand-and-two-very-kind-strangers-704/ |

Controller observes operational error and places partial blame on airspace and LOA.
I was taking coordination from an adjacent sector and writing on strips; and when I focused back on the scope I saw the event happening. Aircraft X was climbing to FL340 northeast bound to fulfill the requirement to sector 86; and had aircraft Y opposite direction at FL340. Both aircraft got RA's. This sector is difficult when either W122 or W72 is active. There's only one airway for northeast and southwest traffic; and the SOP's and LOA's require multiple altitude changes head on. We also receive traffic at the same altitude head on from sector 86 and ZJX. I believe we need an extra airway south of the warning areas to better deal with the traffic volume in swap.

Narrative: I was taking coordination from an adjacent sector and writing on strips; and when I focused back on the scope I saw the event happening. Aircraft X was climbing to FL340 northeast bound to fulfill the requirement to Sector 86; and had Aircraft Y opposite direction at FL340. Both aircraft got RA's. This sector is difficult when either W122 or W72 is active. There's only one airway for northeast and southwest traffic; and the SOP's and LOA's require multiple altitude changes head on. We also receive traffic at the same altitude head on from Sector 86 and ZJX. I believe we need an extra airway south of the warning areas to better deal with the traffic volume in SWAP. | 2019-04-20T02:37:14 | http://www.37000feet.com/report/1167843/Controller-observes-operational-error-and-places-partial-blame-on-airspace-and-LOA |

Bokamorra Pizzaurant and Cocktails, quietly opened their doors in Split on July 14, 2017, the newest addition to the growing Split gastronomy scene. Sister restaurant to Bokeria, we were expecting big things from this concept pizza + cocktail restaurant and, we weren’t disappointed.
How many pizza restaurants in Split (or Croatia), do you know have travelled to Naples for their oven and inspiration? Read on.
When Daniela Rogulj and myself heard that Bokamorra had opened, we immediately went to check it out. Bokeria is easily one of Split’s top restaurants, so we were expecting big things from Bokamorra. Daniela is a self-proclaimed pizza-snob, having grown up and eaten at some of the best Pizzerias in the States, and myself? Well, I am from New Zealand, but have a long resume in hospitality, including a stint at Gordon Ramsay’s and I lived in Florence, Italy for a period. So, while we were excited that there might finally be a real pizza restaurant in Split, we didn’t want to get our hopes too high.
And then it happened, bam. The second we walked in, we were in love. Everything about the Bokamorra space is divine. We first lost the plot over the green Tanqueray wall, glowing above a plush, baby blue velvet booth, the design, a subtle gentleman’s nod to the prohibition era.
A quick glance around the room confirmed suspicions; a golden bar, waiters in cute suspenders, New York Style ‘posters’ on the walls – displaying classic scenes with a pizza-twist. Oh yes, this place has style.
Ok, ok, so the restaurant and design was immaculate, get to the food and drinks, right? We ordered a round of Negronis – it has been so very long since I have had a good Negroni, it was my go-to aperitif in Italy, but it was a distant memory these last few years. And? Perfection.
While we love a good cocktail, a couple of new establishments in Split have lifted the cocktail-game recently, so it wasn’t the cocktails we were coming for (this time), it was the pizza. There were three of us, so we ordered three pizzas – Margherita, Porco Mio and Smokvizza.
Being pizza-lovers, we were ready to judge Bokamorra on their Margherita alone, because 1) Margherita is the classic and 2) any gastronomer knows – it is often the simplest dishes that are the hardest to perfect; with nothing to hide behind, the dish and ingredients need to speak for themselves.
Our pizzas came out and, if you eat with your eyes first, then we were feasting. The pizzas looked the part, but, the ultimate test… foodgasm. Sorry, I can’t think of a better word to describe it. Now, pizza is a funny thing, a matter of taste – some like it thin and crispy, others like it a doughy… this was something in between. A thinner-style base, with a soft doughy crust – the best of all worlds.
The Margherita was on-point, but actually, it was the two other pizzas that took us by absolute surprise. Let’s start with the Porco Mio – truly, deeply, I have never had a meat pizza until now. Prosciutto crudo and prosciutto cotto were layered generously over the top, but the ‘piece de resistance’, was the accompanying side of lard, for which you are supposed to add and let it melt. Sound a little over-the-top? Well, Daniela and I don’t eat much meat, but this, was heaven.
The next pizza that sounded intriguing was Smokvizza, a desert-style pizza with dried figs, goats cheese, pistachio and honey. Divine. The perfect balance of sweet and salty, and a combination I never would have thought of, nor had I ever tried before.
We could not fault one element of the restaurant, cocktails or service if we tried. We stayed for another round of cocktails and soaked in the ambiance, which was complemented by some funky jazz.
Being that Bokamorra is the new kid in town and has already appeared in a couple of portals, we didn’t just want to write a review; we wanted to learn a more. So, I caught up with Luka Bokavšek to ask about the inspiration, thinking and design behind Bokamorra.
What was the Inspiration for Bokamorra, why pizza + cocktails?
We always like to explore something new, not that we have created this concept, it has been done in New York, London and the likes, but we wanted to bring these innovations to Split and Croatia. It was a fairly easy decision, Split was (in our eyes), lacking a good pizza restaurant and good quality cocktails. There are now a couple of bars that are using excellent ingredients and who have lifted the standard, but we believed there was still space for a cocktail bar and we wanted to pair it with pizza – because this is not a typical combination most people think of.
Our thought process was straightforward; we wanted to use the best quality ingredients, so people can enjoy having 1, 4 or 5 cocktails, they can sip on them and not have a headache the next day (from low standard alcohols and mixers).
After searching around, we came across our bartender Marino Karinja, from Rijeka, who has lived and worked in Belgium for international experience. I appreciate young people who go out exploring, rather than just sticking to what they know, so I was hopeful that he would have a similar mentality to learning, growing and pushing boundaries like us.
So, we have Marino and Luka Cvitković, who are our main guys behind the bar, they run the space with passion and creativity. We don’t need to push them to learn; they are always reading, trying new recipes, experimenting. It is great to see young guys with this attitude.
We visited Naples in January and February – my sister, my dad, Mladen (Bokeria Manager) and I. Our idea was to explore the quality of their pizza and to see what they do. We never wanted to have a strict Napolitano pizza, but to take inspiration and then incorporate it into our own, unique style. We want to be recognised by our pizzas.
We went to two certified factories in Naples and decided on an Acunto Pizza oven. We saw the whole process of making the oven, we then got in touch with the owners who showed us the best way to make a pizza in their ovens, even giving us the opportunity to make a pizza with them – our first pizza in Naples!
We also went to some of the most famous pizza restaurants in Naples, including Pizzeria da Michele which has only two pizzas – Margherita and marinara; and Pizzeria Brandi – where Margherita was invented! It blew my mind to see a restaurant only offering two pizzas, but afterwards, it made sense. If you are only going to make two pizzas, they will be the best two pizzas in the world.
“Raj” (Tomić Ratko) is our Pizzaiolo (pizza master), another young enthusiast, mad about pizza. He understands flour, water, salt and oil to a level I didn’t realise was possible – it is an entire philosophy in itself. We tried many combinations for the dough before we finally settled, just two days before we opened. The passion Raj has for pizza is a beautiful thing to watch; he is the kind of guy that comes in front of the pizza oven every day and gets goose bumps!
If Raj believes a pizza is not quite right, he bins it. He is the Pizzaiolo; it is up to him. This was one of the things we instilled from the start – if it is not 100%, then it doesn’t go in front of a guest. The fig pizza? That was Raj’s idea, we wanted to do a dessert pizza, but not your typical Nutella, something different, this is more a representation of the Mediterranean, and we are thrilled with it.
Quality is our number one. It is at the forefront of everything we do, no compromise. We have, the best selection of premium brands for our back-bar and our pizza; we import ingredients directly from Italy – our hard cheeses, soft cheeses and charcuterie items. The herbs we use, like basil and mint, we grow ourselves, and for any extras, we have a strong network of small local suppliers we work with.
First, we bought the pizza oven, and we built the space and design around that. My sister Ela designed the space down to the very last detail, while I was more the practicalities of the lay out. Ela has a passion and love for interior design; she has an eye for it, she can look at and immediately ‘feel’ a space. She is always looking around, travelling and researching and little by little, she created this beautiful space.
The posters and graphic designs were a combination of us and a friend Saša Pocnrić having fun. He had freedom with the graphics, while we had fun and threw around ideas for the posters and quotes.
Cedit: Tania Iacone, how fab are these posters??
We did this project for 7 months before we opened and I want people to know that we really thought about every detail, from the glasses we bought all around the world, to the ice – we have crushed ice, normal, cubes 3×3, 5×5, 7×7… At the beginning of their shift, our bartenders are making their own syrups, dehydrating or peeling citrus – we make everything ourselves, nothing pre-made.

At first glance, people might think that what we are doing is simple – pizza and cocktails, but eventually we would like them to see the thought and effort behind every element. Not everyone will recognise this, but certain clientele will, which will keep them coming back. For everyone else, we will be happy if we can surprise them every time they return, by noticing a new detail or a new addition to the menu.
We opened quietly without any marketing, but we have loyal followers – we aren’t just targeting tourists, within a week, you needed a reservation to get a table. Everything is going well so far, but we are taking our time, we are not open for lunch, and we have a reduced menu. I believe you need to specialise and do what you do well, rather than doing it all mediocre. So, this is where we are at.
While not compromising on quality is our number one, so is the guest experience. I get a real kick out of watching someone try something new, broadening their horizons. This was the joy I found at Bokeria, experimenting with our menu and watching people try something new and enjoy it. We train our staff on our products, menu, flavours, so they have the confidence to recommend to our guests. We are also all about creating a fun environment, when Raj isn’t making pizzas, he is juggling or entertaining the guests, same goes for the boys behind the bar. You will always be entertained and taken care of. I want us to continue to develop and continue to blow people’s minds!
Of course, the plan is to expand in the future – by expanding the food and cocktail menu, changing seasonally, adding a few more signatures to the pizzas and bringing in new, international premium products that no one else has. We will also begin matching cocktails with pizzas.
Eventually, we will work towards having a ‘build your own pizza’; you will start by choosing your base – white or tomato, then the cheeses, charcuterie items… I believe it is something people will appreciate; you get to create something from all of the best ingredients you love, what could be better?
In winter, we will also work towards improving the offering for locals – more live music and our Chef’s table in front of the pizza oven, was set up with the thought in mind to be used for large groups, but also to be used for pizza-making workshops during the winter.
I met up with Luka to learn a little more about the inspiration behind Bokamorra, but what I got was an insight to the passion his family and team have for what they do. Coming from the hospitality world, I have nothing but respect for this, and now my pizza and cocktails are gonna taste a whole lot better because I know the journey it took to get them in front of me!

I haven't put a border on. Just going to quilt it and bind it.
I am thinking in the ditch for each panel and then around some the appliqué images or use some large fancy stitch on my machine to fill in the background spaces.

Mepham Skull and Bones Drama Staged "Legally Blonde"
On April 7-9 at 7:00 PM, Mepham High School's Skull and Bones Drama Club presented its annual spring musical production. This April, the club staged Legally Blonde.
Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside-down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her charm to get into Harvard Law. At school, she struggles with peers, professors, and Warner Huntington III. With the help of Paulette and Emmett, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.
The cast was led by seniors Jessica Serviss (Elle Woods), Evan Spector (Emmett Forrest), Matt Gibbons (Warner Huntington III), and junior Cassidy Casimir (Paulette). Also joining the cast in memorable cameos were two of the cast members' dogs: Guinness (owned by junior Hailey Canonico) as Bruiser Woods and Jed (owned by sophomore Olivia Larocchia) as Rufus.
The production was directed by Mr. Edward Grosskreuz, with vocal music direction by Ms. Amanda Cantwell and instrumental music direction by Mr. Brian Neiderman. Complete with challenging and dazzling choreography by Ms. Whitney Stone, Legally Blonde took the Mepham stage by pink storm and was a fun and upbeat evening out for all who attended. | 2019-04-21T18:39:22 | http://liherald.com/stories/mepham-skull-and-bones-drama-staged-legally-blonde,78781 |
Focused events of the recent days in Egypt displaced in some mode the “Syrian topic” from Western mass media opening pages. Anyway, the situation in Syria still remains rather tense. Against the background of clear-cut victory of the governmental forces over the rebels hold in June, at the moment Asad’s opposition activists are preparing active dislocation of forces and means aimed at evident arrangement of Syrian fastness attack the current fall.
According to The Wall Street Journal as of June, 26 the CIA has already actively embarked on a secret plan approved by Obama to deliver withdrawn weapons from American warehouses for the opposition to Jordan, to teach the rebels holding the guerilla fight, as well as to mobilize the European and the Arabic allies for more active political and military technical support of the Syrian mutineers. At the same time CIA intends to creat a sufficient contigent of well trained and armed warriors ready to stand against the Syrian army and to “Hizballah”, to contribute to month regular replenishment of struggling opposition in Syria on hundreds warriors.
The above mentioned arrangements concerning a “new attack” were actively joined by the proxy rules of the Persian Gulf always faithful to Washington. In such a manner the Saudi Arabia’s leaders cut short their vacation in Morocco as a matter of urgency for the preparation of the second front line opening in the south of Syria. According to some data taken from Internet the orders to move special military contigent through the territory of Jordan to the southern borders of Syria have been already delivered. Meanwhile Riyadh has initiated delivery of anti-aircraft and armour-defeating weapons for the opposition to military facilities in Turkey. The Saudi king appointed prince Bandar to coordinate this work and “to convince” Erdogan in necessity of the Turkish troops employment in rehandling of the mentioned cargo to special consignees in Syria.
There is prominent castling also among the so called “Arabian friends of Syria”. Having failed with Washington’s task to make a Syrian blitzkrieg and thus having nothing to do do but change the monarchy’s leader in such a situation, Katar is step by step passing to the middle distance, actually remaining just a moneybag defraying new US shady undertakings in respect for Syria. “Leader’s” functions are now transferred from Katar to Saudi Arabia, which strains every sinew to appease “the big brother” unwilling to repeat the Katar scenario of the monarch change.
CIA is an active participant in Syrian opposition leadership shuffle aimed at finding leaders able to track for armed struggle with Asad’s army, to pull the rebels together both spiritually and politically. Just so slightly over three months in a duty of the so called leader of “Syrian Opposition Transitory Government” previously promoted to this post by the CIA 50 y.o. Kurd Ghassan Hitto resigned commission “at his own discretion” because of his relationships with the Syrian “Muslim Brotherhood” and obvious merits to the USA, where he lived for 25 years and worked in the position of hi tech manager in Texas.
Ahmad Assi Jarbu, possessing close ties exactly with the Saudi Arabia, became a new leader of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (NCSROP). It’s worth to mention at this point that it is NCSROP that holds active armed struggle against the governmental troops of president B.Asad, which according to the UN data has already taken away lives of 90 thousands people.
During the last session of the UN Human Right Council the Independent Fact-Finding Board in Syria confirmed that the Syrian opposition recruits actively children and exploits them in battle actions.
How may the recent order of the US President B.Obama about military equipment and weapons delivery to the leaders of NCSROP be justified, as far as it was considered the sole military legitime representative of the Syrians? Or, perhaps Obama has a right to ignore the national legislation being looked-out by American electors? And maybe ordinary US citizens-electors aren’t just aware of this fact?

How Should I Invest in the Stock Market?
While the answer may be simple, there is some heavy-duty math (like PhD Level stuff) required to put that into practice. That’s why we formed a business relationship with Morningstar Investment Management LLC to help us. The team at Morningstar Investment Management has designed target portfolio models that we use to determine our investment mix and select the ETFs for our portfolios. We also designed a sleek mobile app that makes it easy to match your preferences to these different portfolios with straight forward questions and just a couple of taps.
Our portfolios currently have a target of 7 ETFs each. For shorter-term investments, we recommend portfolios that rely more heavily on interest paying instruments (bonds), which tend to have smaller price movements. For longer-term investments, we recommend portfolios with a higher percentage of equities (stocks). While equities fluctuate more in the short term, on average they should have a higher rate of growth over the long run.
The chart above shows the balance we might recommend for a customer with a 3- to 5-year investment time period. This type of portfolio would be suitable for a customer who seeks income and stability in the near term while also looking for some level of growth in the portfolio over the longer term.
While the individual ETFs in the portfolio often have names that can be intimidating, like Vanguard Total Market Bond ETF, they are amazingly efficient investment instruments. With the 7 ETFs purchased for the portfolio described above, an investor is actually invested in over 10,000 different stocks and bonds.
So how do we recommend you start investing in the stock market? Now that’s even simpler. Download the Evati app, open an account with us, and you will be well on your way!

… is an entirely false statement in the world of auto insurance.
Car insurance is essential, and not having the right coverage can put you in a potentially financially devastating situation. But insurance is also complicated. There are different types of coverage, different state legal requirements, and different insurance companies, each with its own unique method of assessing risk and determining rates.
The Zebra conducted this survey* to gain a better understanding of drivers’ insurance awareness and their assumptions about what factors affect their car insurance rates, and to help provide the education they need to make more informed insurance decisions.
What did we find? Consumers are confident about their insurance awareness, but most shouldn’t be. Still, the majority of drivers want to understand what impacts their insurance risk better and to take action to lower their rates.
81% say they have coverage they need, but 99% failed to correctly identify 10 basic coverage types and terms.
90% say they are moderately or very well informed about what affects their car insurance rates but only 21% scored a passing grade (a “D” or higher) when asked to identify specific factors which do impact rates.
The notion that “I’m a good driver, so I shouldn’t need car insurance” still stands: 94% of people think they are good drivers…but 28% filed a claim in the past year alone.
1. They don’t know what coverage they need or why.
22% don’t know they are required to have car insurance by law.
Only 33% say they need car insurance because they are required to have it by a financing company, yet 64% of people are leasing or financing their vehicles.
Only 58% say they need car insurance to repair or replace their car if it is damaged by flood, fire, or other weather events, which is particularly concerning in light of the recent hurricanes which left hundreds of thousands of uninsured and underinsured people in Texas and Florida unable to file claims.
2. They don’t know basic coverage types or terms.
Just 35% correctly stated that liability coverage covers damage to your vehicle in the event of an accident caused by another insured driver. This is the type of coverage legally mandated for drivers everywhere in the U.S. except New Hampshire.
42% correctly stated that collision coverage covers damage to your vehicle if you hit a stationary object like a tree or a building.
46% correctly stated that a premium is the term for what you pay to your insurance company for your coverage (typically on a monthly or semi-annual basis).
3. They don’t know what impacts their rates.
Plus, we know plenty of folks think certain things impact their car insurance that have no impact whatsoever.
These false factors do not impact your rates – but how many people think they do?
4. They don’t know their options.
61% think their car insurance is too expensive and 34% say they have limited car insurance options.
46% shop around for quotes from multiple car insurance companies at least every year, 23% only do so when their rates increase, and 31% don’t shop around.
37% think they can only switch car insurance companies at the end of their policy term, which is false.
5. They don’t know that they can impact their car insurance rates (or how).
81% want to lower their car insurance rates, but 45% say they don’t know what to do to lower their rates, and 36% think there is nothing they can do to lower them.
When it comes to car insurance, it seems people don’t know what they don’t know. Many feel confident about their car insurance knowledge and even of their own coverage choices, but it’s clear most lack the critical awareness necessary to ensure they are protected against unpredictable accidents or crises.
Fortunately, people want to know how they can take action to lower their rates and what those factors are that impact their risk.

In addition to our powerful quote comparison engine, which allows consumers to compare real quotes from hundreds of auto insurance companies at once, we’ve also created the Insurability Score™, a brand new (and always free) tool which helps people understand what factors impact their individual insurance risk, by how much, and what they can do about it.

The United States women’s national hockey team has been in training camp in Wesley Chapel, Florida since Sept. 5. Wesley Chapel is about a 25-minute drive from Tampa. Though the Tampa Bay area was not directly hit by Hurricane Irma, as was originally feared that it would be, the region did receive a rough pounding from the storm nonetheless. There were some concerning talks regarding the safety of the players housed in the community of close to 45,000 residents. Fortunately, for everyone’s sake, the area came out okay in what otherwise could have been devastating circumstances.
There is also a growing concern for the safety of athletes competing in the upcoming PyeongChang Winter Olympics in South Korea. This stems namely from the tensions currently felt between North Korea and the United States and its allies. How true any potential threat is remains to be seen, but worry is there nonetheless.
A general unrest is in the world right now. A dissension exists between growing numbers of people and oftentimes it stems from fear or hatred. At times, the world does not feel welcoming to those who inhabit it. We have become separated and divided on so many issues and throughout many walks of life.
Perhaps more than ever, people need something to feel hopeful about. In times of upheaval, sport has given the world sanctuary. We rally behind a particular athlete or a team. Our hopes ride on their hopes, and their victories seem to rejuvenate us as a community. It is a way to become one again.
Team USA goaltender Nicole Hensley will be competing in the 2018 Winter Games. She recognizes that she has a platform enabling her to make a positive difference and maybe help bring about togetherness once more. Though it is not talked about often, there are hockey players who play the game while exuding a faith in a higher power both on and off the ice. The prevailing reason behind where Hensley is today is her faith in God.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer” – Romans 12:12.
With regards to her God-given abilities, Hensley is arguably the best female goaltender in the United States, at least. It is looking more and more that the 23-year-old will be the starting goaltender when the U.S. takes to the ice in PyeongChang.
Hensley played her collegiate hockey at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. The program is an NCAA Division I school and a member of College Hockey America (CHA). Hensley played in 122 games for the Lady Lions and went 30-78-12. Those numbers are highly deceiving, as her individual numbers separate from her record are quite remarkable. Her goals against across her four years was a minuscule 2.98. That would include four career shutouts, 4,094 saves and a .921 save percentage. During the first two games of her senior year – both against Wisconsin – she made 49 and 42 saves respectively.
Not surprisingly, her numbers were consistently among the top for goaltenders in the country during her collegiate career.
Even in her college years Hensley recognized the importance of spiritual belief and a relationship with God in her life. Attending church with teammates, she would garner a stronger understanding of her own faith.
After finishing the 2015-16 season at Lindenwood, Hensley was one of the three goaltenders selected to represent the United States at the 2016 Women’s World Championships in Kamloops. Tending the net alongside Alex Rigsby and Jessie Vetter, Hensley still saw her share of action. In the US’s second game of the tournament, Hensley was between the pipes against Russia and pitched a shutout. She went a perfect 16 for 16, stopping shots from elite snipers like Lyudmila Belyakova and Ekaterina Smolentseva. The United States would go on to win the gold medal, defeating Canada 1-0 in overtime of the championship game.
Hensley would have a larger role in the following year’s championship, this time in Plymouth, Michigan. Although she would not be perfect between the pipes this go-round, she would not be far from it. Hensley’s stats were the finest of any netminder in the tournament. In three games she allowed only two goals while making 56 saves. In two of the three games she pitched shutouts; one each against Canada and Germany.
Hensley would be at her finest when it counted most. In the championship game she would back stop Team USA to a fourth straight gold medal for the women’s national team. She steered aside 28 of 30 shots, including four in OT.
“Michigan was something. It was pretty nerve-wracking,” she laughed in retrospect.
Hensley finished with an astonishing 0.63 goals against average and a .964 save percentage for the tournament.
To have pitched such stellar performances in net and at the highest level possible, one would think that Hensley has ice water flowing through her veins. How else could she maintain such cool in such high pressure situations? For Hensley though, her goaltending has been as much spiritual training as it has been mental and physical conditioning.
Now Hensley will take that mindset into the most monumental show of them all – the Olympic Games. As far as goaltending is concerned, every indication is that these will be Hensley’s Olympics. Her faith has helped her keep the upcoming experience in perspective. Her mindset is strong.
When the PyeongChang Games get underway in February, there are bound to be a vast number of young girls that will be getting their first glimpse of Hensley between the pipes. Many of these youngsters will want to emulate the US’s goalie. Seeing the phenomenal saves she will make, the intricacies of her mask and her equipment, her artful acrobatics on the ice. They will find themselves a new hero. An athlete to admire.
Women’s hockey is just starting to blossom into mainstream appreciation. That is greatly evident by the expansion of two teams into China with the CWHL and with the NWHL entering into a third season. The excitement of women’s hockey in PyeongChang could easily foretell the state of the women’s professional game for years to come. When the Olympics have wrapped up, the majority of the players on the national teams will be continue their play in either the CWHL or NWHL for at least the four years following. Hensley is only 23 and has many more years of hockey to play, if she so desires. How her hockey career progresses lies in the hands of a greater power.
All of us have innate gifts. Each person on the face of this earth has a particular talent or skill, no matter who they might be. The Olympics are the finest collection of individuals with abilities in a particular skill or craft. Hensley knows and understands that her affinity for and her elite prowess as a hockey goaltender are skills unique to her. At this moment in time, she is the best woman in the United States at being a hockey goaltender. Hensley knows though that how her skills have developed and how her career has progressed are more than just being talented or having worked hard. While those ingredients are certainly necessary, it is a steadying hand that has steered her in the right direction.
Life is not easy. People are struggling more than ever to get by. Playing for a United States national team has given a Hensley and the other athletes that comprise the squad a unique view of the world. Hensley, like most astute young people, is aware of what is going on around her.
Words such as those are what the Olympics are all about. Harmony, sympathy, compassion and humility. | 2019-04-18T10:31:20 | https://thehockeywriters.com/faith-on-ice-nicole-hensley-team-usa-goaltender/ |

In a multi-lingual setting (either where a country has more than one official language, or when an organisation employs speakers of different languages), it would be useful to present the interview for a template in the language of the user. Why this is an issue is that it appears obvious that the captions, help, etc. in a template will be encoded in the language of the template. But in a multi-lingual setting it might very often be the case that a user of one language is required to run templates whose merged document will be in another language. It would be really useful for XpressDox to be able to present an interview in French if the user is a French speaker, and in English for English users, where the document itself is in English. For the same template. And vice versa. XpressDox can indeed do that, as long as the template author marks up the template accordingly.
Include the following at the end of the template, replacing the duplicate commands with these, or by inspection merge them – play around and see what happens.
Save the Layout.xdtpl template and then run the Will template.
Using the Settings>Language sub-menu on the XpressDox ribbon, change the language between French and English and see what happens.
Some of the controls on the interview will not behave in the way expected. In particular the <<ChooseFromRDBList(FailingClause,…..)>>. This is because the command appears in the Will template as well as the Layout template. Play around with these commands until you get what you want.
None of the Help messages have been translated above, but by this time you should be in a position to try doing that. | 2019-04-22T11:10:29 | http://xpressdox.com/help/cookbook/bi-lingual-interview/ |

PHOENIX -- Richard Sherman might hold more than the Lombardi Trophy come Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks cornerback is on baby watch, with his girlfriend, Ashley Moss, expected to give birth to their son over the next week.
Asked Thursday if he would consider missing Super Bowl XLIX to attend the birth, Sherman expressed confidence that his new addition will arrive at the right time.
"He's not supposed to come Sunday," Sherman said. "Obviously that'd change some things, but I think he's going to be a disciplined young man and stay in there until after the game."
Said Sherman: "He's gonna do his father his first favor and stay in there for another week or two, but I've thought about the possibility of him coming during the game and coming before the game and we have things in place in case that happens. And, you know, we'll cross that bridge when we get there, but, you know, I obviously did not know it was a topic of national debate, honestly. You know, I'd not like to miss the birth of my first son, my first kid, but, you know, thankfully and hopefully and God willing we won't have to cross that bridge."
The All-Pro cover man on Wednesday said that Moss is here with him in Arizona and would give birth at a local hospital if she goes into labor before the big game.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," Sherman said. "We're not thinking about the possibility." | 2019-04-21T12:55:24 | http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000465146/article/seattle-seahawks-richard-sherman-on-baby-watch |
