The other night, while staying over at my in-laws’ place in the countryside, my husband and I were just about to get ready for bed when it hit us.
Oh crap, we’d left the laundry in the washing machine all afternoon. We’d forgotten to hang it out to dry.
We bounded downstairs to the laundry room with flashlight in hand, and fully expected to spend 10 to 15 minutes doing what we should have done more than six hours ago.
Except, when I ran over to the washing machine, it was empty. Totally empty. And when I turned my head, sure enough, there was our laundry, neatly hung on clothes hangers on a bamboo rack.
As much as I felt relieved that I’d been saved the trouble of doing that laundry this evening, a slight sense of guilt pricked me.
Once again, my mother-in-law had done housework for me. Housework I could have easily done for myself…and should have done, given it was my laundry.
It’s embarrassing to admit that I’m in my thirties and still enjoy laundry assistance from my mother-in-law whenever we stay at her home in the countryside of Zhejiang Province. But it’s true. This sort of thing happens ALL the time.
Yes, it’s true. My mother-in-law has been known to hang up my clothing left in the washing machine…and she’s even done entire loads of laundry for us.
Here’s what usually happens. Either I put the clothing in the washing machine, but stupidly forget to hang it up on time (like I mentioned in the introduction). Or, my mother-in-law grabs my dirty clothing without telling me, and does the entire load for me (this happened ALL THE TIME when I stayed with my in-laws during the summer of 2011).
Sometimes, though, I do ask for her help. The other day, we were in a hurry to leave their house and I had just thrown a load of laundry into the washing machine. So I asked her if she could hang it and she said, “No problem” with a smile.
So now you know one of my biggest dirty secrets.
When we stay with my in-laws at their home, there’s one thing we can count on – three square meals, all home-cooked by my mother-in-law. Always.
This is the complete opposite of how things work at my parents’ home back in the US. There, the assumption is we’re on our own and have to make our own meals (or buy them). Unless, of course, my dad or mom specifically asks us to join them for a meal (or invites us out).
The difference totally blew my husband’s mind.
Anyhow, here at my in-laws’ home in China there’s never any concern about cooking. Everyone knows that when it’s lunch and dinner, my mother-in-law’s voice will echo through the corridors – time to eat! – and we’ll all come bounding down the stairs.
It’s a strange place for me. I spent so many years handling all my cooking (and enjoying much of it). Now, when I’m staying with my in-laws, I just show up to eat at the table.
I have spent some time with my mother-in-law in the kitchen, learning how to cook from her. (She taught me how to make vegan Chinese-style flatbread, for example.) But in many ways, I feel foreign in her kitchen, a feeling that has nothing to do with my nationality, actually. After all, she uses a fire-powered wok to do the majority of her cooking, and I honestly have no idea how to manage the fire. Given how clumsy I am, I might just burn down the kitchen if I tried!
Now that I think about it, maybe it is better to leave the cooking to a woman who won’t cause a conflagration in the kitchen.
When a friend of mine — also a Western woman with a Chinese husband – posted in a private chat about how guilty she felt because her mother-in-law gave her some cash to buy a new laptop (her old one crashed), oh, how I could sympathize.
I thought about the many Chinese New Years that had passed since John and I returned to China in late 2013, and how his parents always gave us heaping hongbao filled with more money than adults in the family should have.
I remembered how my mother-in-law handed over an additional stack of bills last year because my husband was starting his business (and she wanted him to have some “lucky money”).
I even thought of the numerous times when my mother-in-law spent money on us that she totally shouldn’t have spent. Like buying those new coats for John for Chinese New Year (which prompted me to buy new clothes to make her happy). Or the comforter she bought for me to stay warm during the winter. Or even the way she purchased all of the basic necessities for our apartment in 2014.
#4: We’ve lived with my in-laws. A lot.
In America, the ultimate badge of adulthood is having your own place, separate from mom and dad.
Well, the most embarrassing thing I could mention on this list is the fact that we’ve lived in the same house as my in-laws – for long periods of time.
Even now, we divide our time between an apartment in Hangzhou and their home. Heck, they added an entire suite to the house just for my husband and me, which proves how welcoming they are.
It’s worlds away from America. I can guarantee you that if I asked my American friends and classmates, none of them would say that their parents or in-laws renovated their homes so they could live together. It’s just not done there.
As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I have to confess I’m also grateful. This suite they’ve provided us is symbolic of the incredible support they’ve given me and my husband.
Life isn’t always easy for John and me. But knowing that we have a couple of incredibly loving parents behind us – willing to do things that I’m a little embarrassed to talk about – makes the hard times a little more bearable.
If you’re all grown up, is there anything you’re embarrassed that your parents or in-laws still do for you?
LOL, you do laundry like Andy. Except I’m willing to bet that you really do forget to collect it from the washer, whereas I suspect Andy “forgets” so I will finish doing the laundry for him.
Only problem is that he sometimes forgets to tell me he put in laundry while I’m gone and it sits in the washer for days. MILDEWING!
I don’t get red envelopes. 🙁 Jealous.
Wow… it’s great you have so supportive in-laws.
But I don’t think I could handle someone else doing my laundry and cooking. When my Filipino husband and I first got married, my sister-in-law kept taking over the cooking – she wouldn’t let me do it and she wouldn’t teach me how to cook Filipino dishes. This left me feeling totally useless as a wife, because I wanted to fulfill the role of taking care of my husband (an important element of the culture here).
When we moved out and built our own home things radically changed for the better. We now have privacy and can really relax together.
But each to his own of course! You have done really well to adjust to such a profoundly different environment to that in America.
Thanks for sharing Hope! It was an adjustment — and as you say, it’s certainly not for everyone.
True that, typical Chinese parents, last time my girlfriend and I visited my parents , they took care of almost everything(of course, I, as an “typical” Chinese kid, was and still am used to that), and before we left, she tried to give my girlfriend somethinkg like 5000 yuan.
Wow, that sounds a lot like my in-laws!
You’re lucky to have such wonderful in-laws, especially with your mother-in-law cooking three meals a day.
I don’t have any trouble having someone wash my clothes. When I visit my youngest daughter (the cleanest one in the family) she washes my clothes with hers and brings them back to me folded.
That is sweet your in-laws were so welcoming.
Hey Jocelyn, great post as always! Just wanted to let you know I have also nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award – thanks for being the grandmistress of AMWF blogs and thanks for introducing me to all the wonderful WWAMs in this world!
Aw, thanks for the nomination Laura, I’m so touched! Yeah, it is great to be connected to all of these fabulous WWAMs!
I share the four points with you, Jocelyn!(and it is, indeed, somewhat embarrassing). I see now that many Chinese in laws will do whatever it takes to spoil us. My father in law, for example, will sometimes go out early in the mornings to get us something delicious for breakfast, as well as 火龙果 for me (my favourite fruit and utterly tasteless when I buy it imported in my country). He cleans, sweeps the floors, and generally keeps the house neat and spotless. He’s like a cleaning hurricane, leaving no trace of the toys/crayons of our kids.
My mother in law, on the other hand, locks herself in the unbearably hot kitchen (in an already unbearably hot Nanjing) and cooks healthy meals, as well as doing other housework and taking care of my brother in law’s little boy.
Never, not even once, do they complain to anybody nor ask for gratitude. They fully sacrifice themselves in the most discrete way, but the effect of their actions is greater, like a sort of domestic “为无为”.
We’ll be in China for the summer, ready to be spoilt rotten again (I feel guilty for that, already).
Your in-laws sound so much like mine. (My father-in-law loves getting up early to buy tofu at the local market!) My mother-in-law is the epitome of sacrifice. Everything she does is for family and it’s extraordinary.
Have fun during your summer in China!
My wife’s parents had long since passed away when we married, and her second mother lived with her fifth younger brother, so there was never a parent’s home in the countryside. However, that never prevented the rest of the family showing us hospitality similar to that you describe. When we went to fifth younger sister’s home in a compound for retired military, third younger brother’s home in Alhambra, fourth younger brother’s home in Monterey Park, or our “ch’in chia (qin jia)” stepson’s wife’s parent’s home high up on the slopes of Kuan Yin Shan outside of Taipei, everyone went well out of their way to see that we were comfortable and well fed, and that I was never left out of the conversation with the language changed from Mandarin to Minnan.
Our experience in China is a reflection on Western and American ideas of the individual and the community. A lot of the angst of young Americans may start with the separation anxiety forced upon us by our culture, that pushes us apart instead of drawing us in together, and by the pounding refrain of compete, compete, compete, which early on sets us against one another (Chinese usually wait until they get into business). Western philosophy’s preoccupation with the individual over the group, existence before essence, alters our social relations everywhere we turn. Chinese would just laugh at Sartre and tell us the essence and existence go together.
Don’t be embarrassed about all this. Step back far enough to see both cultures in clear perspective. And next time post about all the things you have discovered you can do to return their kindness to your family.
You are blessed to be experiencing “essence” together with “existence.” Enjoy.
James, thank you so much for the thoughtful comment. How lovely that your wife’s family has been so hospitable towards you.
You make a good point — you have to wonder if America has it wrong in pushing kids out so early.
Great care from parents never end in China. But some time that leads to downfall of self-care ability of their children. Never grown up even in college.
Looks like another Western woman joined the club here.
Thanks AG. Yes, there’s a balance to be sure. Thank you also for sharing the news of the couple!
I think it’s interesting that somehow it is part of Chinese hospitality, right? Also, has to do with being family as well. Parents are still there to try to “help” you out. I do agree of the embarrassment when your mother-in-law finishes your laundry. It’s the same embarrassment I felt last year when my dad cleaned my bedroom at home when I lived at school. or when my dad folds all the laundry in the laundry room, including mine. T-T (only does this when he’s tired of how messy the laundry room is.
I can’t accept money, maybe gifts. Every time my friend and I talk on the phone I argue with him and tell him I don’t want him to pay for my round-trip flight from SH to CQ and he’s telling me no worries. I eventually gave up.
I think it’s more of a mutual benefit, you help them out and they help you out, it’s beneficial.
Jocelyn, I have been following your blog for some time now. Remember, I emailed you last year that I had read every single posts on your blog.
I’m not surprised that John’s family has been so helpful and hospitable towards you. You deserve it.
P/S There are meaty posts of substance on your blog; from yourself and other bloggers. Thank you so much for the share. I also enjoyed your post on 5 things you leart from the Chinese countryside etc. Life’s simplest pleasures.
LOL. So true! My parents still do our laundry, do all the dishes and cook for us whenever we visit them. They do the same when they come to visit us. Only exception is the laundry since they are not familiar with the washing machine we use. My mom always say, “you don’t know how I clean dishes! I like it my way.” It’s tiring to argue with her. The money thing also. They always try to give us money. I was like, “Mom, we are the one making money now!” oh well…. guess it’s a good problem to have!
Your inlaws are so sweet! They feel like it’s their duty to their son. I had the same experience when I was married to “Cai” in that my inlaws sacrificed their happiness and well-being to drop everything to help us in the US. They kept telling me it’s their duty. I know it helped us out a ton. But my mom also went way above and beyond and she’s not Chinese. She quit her job when I moved back home so she could help me with Jake. My parents renovated their basement to add a bedroom and full bathroom so my uncle could move down there when Jake and I took over his room and bathroom upstairs. Parents show their love in many ways!
Wow, your mother-in-law actually uses a washing machine? My parents-in-law own a washing machine, but rarely use it. When we stay with them, my mother-in-law insists on doing my laundry as well, but by hand! She says she doesn’t need a washing machine because “我就是洗衣机” (she is the washing machine). I have tried to stop her, but it’s no use. Once when she was washing my clothes, she found a pair of my underwear had a hole in it, so she bought me new ones, talk about embarrassing!
Awww I don’t know if this is embarrassing! I think parents will always be parents no matter what (when I go home to visit and attempt to do my own laundry, my mom will scoop up my clothes from the dryer and fold them on my bed before I can even get to it!).
In America living with your parents until your early 30s isn’t as taboo as it used to be (it’s hard to stake out a living these days), so I think times are changing.
I think my boyfriend and I will experience all of the above things with his Chinese in-laws sooner or later. They already cook and clean our house for us every time they come down to visit. I wish I could say I was embarrassed, but I’m actually really happy to be spoiled once in a while! | 2019-04-25T18:35:50Z | http://www.speakingofchina.com/china-articles/4-things-im-embarrassed-share-living-chinese-laws/ |
Bristol's decision to trial vinegar as a weedkiller in place of glyphosate grabbed headline-writers' imaginations. But with a wide choice of proven chemical-free weed control strategies available, might this experiment be "set up to fail"?
EXCERPT: This is not what pesticide-free policies should look like. If anything smells fishy, it is the design of this trial. Has it - as Pesticide Action Network UK says - been "set up to fail"? Many other effective alternatives exist, as PAN-UK point out, and are already in use in other European and UK cities.
* Bristol's decision to trial vinegar as a weedkiller in place of glyphosate certainly grabbed headline-writers' imaginations, writes Harriet Williams. But with a wide choice of proven chemical-free weed control strategies available, might this experiment be "set up to fail"?
It's billed as an "eco-friendly alternative" to herbicides, but sadly it's not one that is tremendously effective for weed control in large public spaces.
So, has "vinegar-gate" left us any the wiser about what local authorities should be using for weed control?
Our experience in speaking to people in Bristol is that many people are simply not aware that glyphosate is being sprayed in roads, housing estates, parks, and play areas. When they do become aware, the vast majority of people support an outright ban on this practice, or much tighter restrictions on its use. In the latest results of our rolling online survey, only 8.6% of respondents agree that herbicide sprays are a 'wholly acceptable' means of weed control.
Another respondent said, "I saw a family out last autumn innocently gathering fallen leaves, and felt obliged to advise them to keep clear of the sprayed areas. No signs anywhere that this was going to be done."
* It applies only to a small area of the city, and leaves the door wide open to the return of glyphosate should the trial be deemed a failure.
* At the same time it invites failure by choosing vinegar ahead of more credible technologies for safer weed control.
* Worse still, large tracts of land will not receive any weed control at all as the Council's regular spray contractors down tools for the duration of the trial.
Thanks to "vinegar-gate", more people know that local authorities have a problem when it comes to dealing with plants in the wrong places. In Bristol and other urban areas, it can only be a matter of time before local politicians listen to public opinion and stop dousing our streets in unsafe chemicals. | 2019-04-24T00:06:49Z | https://gmwatch.org/en/news/archive/2016/16929-pesticide-free-cities-are-possible-but-there-s-more-to-it-than-vinegar |
Outsourcing often gets a bad rap, particularly from unions and job hunters, but according to Jacqui Miller, founder of Dynamic Business Outsource Solutions, one of the world’s leading outsource companies with centres based in the Philippines, outsourcing is actually a positive thing to do that helps to accelerate business growth and financial wellbeing.
“I think it’s really important to set the record straight and let people know that outsourcing, or rightsourcing as we call it, is an extremely sensible approach to business growth and operations,” Jacqui said today.
Jacqui Miller knows what she is talking about. Having been involved in founding many start-ups in various industries including hospitality, marketing and travel, Jacqui understands the challenges businesses face when starting up and scaling to enable growth.
“Rightsourcing is about selecting the right or best source of services that suits the business whether it be in-house or using outside third party services that virtually become an extension of your business,” Jacqui added.
“Outsourcing has been around for some time in the business sphere, but has only been available to the big end of town. Now small to medium size business owners can also utilise these services giving their businesses a fighting chance to compete and grow.
“The key to building and growing a small to medium size business or startup is working with the right people and making the most of the limited resources you have. Over the span of my career I’ve seen the positive impact rightsourcing can have on the success of a business, whether it be a large company or small enterprise.
The Diversity ‘The State of Offshoring 2017’ research report identified that while cost pressures are the main factor driving businesses to offshore and offshoring plays a critical role in making businesses more competitive, it also has a positive impact on the economy as it allows businesses to compete globally and grow faster.
The report also states that in many cases, businesses leverage offshore teams to supplement their local employees by removing time-consuming and low-value tasks. Research conducted by leading organisations has identified that employees spend 80% of their time on low-value tasks, whereas they’re only able to spend 20% on the tasks that grow businesses – dealing with client queries, providing a high level of service or working on strategic objectives aligned with organisational goals.
“Businesses that rightsource are more confident financially because tasks that are not required to be done inhouse are undertaken elsewhere for much less cost – meaning the business has more money to invest in other places,” Jacqui added.
“Thanks to technology, rightsourcing is incredibly easy. People can work from anywhere as long as they have access to the internet and most businesses operate with cloud based systems whether they be for communication, accounting, sales, or marketing.
“Many business owners attempt to run all aspects of the business themselves, but this can be difficult if the business is new, the team is small, or the expertise isn’t there. To grow and be successful, you’ve got to share the load, especially with someone who can do it better and faster, and this often means working with experts in the field needed.

Vernal presents a selection of new multi-media works that use stories, myths, and legends passed down from various cultures to explore ideas related to, among others: spring and renewal; cycles of life and changing seasons; love and loss; life after death; and flowers. Stories taken directly from Greek mythology that explain the creation of spring flowers like hyacinths and narcissus, and from Norse mythology and the legend of Valhalla are examples that are used as points of departure for personal investigations of the exhibition’s themes. By freely combining parts from these various stories, sampling and altering visual references from historic sources, and layering in elements that reference my own personal interpretations and affinities with the stories’ various characters, I seek to introduce new perspectives and offer viewers new points of access from which to enter these timeless tales.
These works, which amount to a series of fractured narratives, made alone and under the name bourbon, in collaboration with Loretta Bourque, are extremely personal and distinctly colored (stained)by recent events in my life. These challenges have made me question my very foundation, and at times have prevented me from moving the work forward, but ultimately they have lead me back to the exhibition’s central themes with a renewed focus. I acknowledge that in making this work I am borrowing freely from the mythologies of cultures outside my own. I respect the fact that the juxtaposition of imagery and iconography from various religious sources may create tension within the work and even with some viewers, but this is not a primary goal, rather a byproduct of my working process, which is by nature collaborative and uncensored. I am indebted to the many artists who have explored the show’s themes before me, and from whom I have borrowed and quoted liberally. I offer these works in homage to them, and as tribute to those who in leaving this world have given me great cause to complete them. It is also with much gratitude I dedicate this exhibition to my family and friends who have given me the space and time I have needed to begin to see again the first green of spring in every challenge; and a sense of renewed optimism that comes to me like when I see the first crocus of spring or get a whiff of the almost-too -much smell of hyacinths at their peak. If I have accomplished nothing else in this work, I hope that in sharing the beauty of a single flower, that I might spark a light of hope in someone else who might be struggling to see that the part of them which they think they may have lost is still there. Like a spring flower, it has only been laying dormant, waiting for the perfect moment to re-emerge and bloom again for all to see.
I am a writer of letters. For me, written correspondence permits a naturalness of expression – of intimacy, connectedness, and affection – that is different from communication through technological means. The letter writing tradition also plays a vital role across my creative practice, and my current work is based upon on it.
For these works, I began by writing love letters between a fictional woman invoked from another plane, and me. The letters share both the mundane and the precious — as love letters, they build an intimate vocabulary. Marked by the dates, the repetition of such an interchange captures not just the passage of time, but an evolution of two hearts merging. Once transcribed, the letters are torn apart and woven into the painting; small sighs amid the intensity of texture and the energetic gestures of blue paint.
They are blue for a reason. What that reason is, I still don’t know.
Although my painting has included the same themes for many years, I did not begin to include love letters until 2018. | 2019-04-18T16:35:36Z | http://www.thevisualist.org/2019/04/rob-bondgren-ara-lucia/ |
You guys, I am so behind!
I’ve had Amazon Prime for years, but I used it primarily (pun, sorry) for the free shipping, video streaming, Kindle Lending, and Prime Day sales.
But I was totally missing out!
Did you know about Prime Reading? You probably do. As I said, I’m behind. I recently went camping and wanted to load up my Kindle with things to read by the fire. While I was browsing, I came across this new-to-me-but maybe-not-to-the-rest-of-the-world feature and about danced a jig.
Tons of free things to read! I loaded up and took my devices to the mountains. There’s nothing like relaxing by a fire in total darkness with a nice book to read.
The fire where actual Prime Reading took place.
Okay, now back to Prime Reading itself. If you’re already a member of the Amazon Prime program, it’s included at no additional charge (unlike the Kindle Unlimited program). You don’t even have to own a Kindle. All you need is a device of your choosing and the free reading apps.
Boom! You get access to tons of books and magazines. And they are actually items you’d want to read! Seriously, go look. You’ll find something to enjoy or mock (whatever suits you).
Choose your books or magazines from the Prime Reading selection.
When you’re done, return the item.
You can check out 10 items at a time! TEN!
Even if you hate the book, you’re not losing any money. It’s risk-free reading from your couch. No trip to the library needed.
I didn’t know about Prime Reading, but it makes me much more willing to pay the new, higher price. And it makes me wonder what else I’m missing out on.
So are you already using Prime Reading? If so, what should I check out next? Or are you just as behind as me?
I’m so behind also! I think I used it once last year but was confused and thought it was Kindle Unlimited. I saw the 10 books thing but didn’t understand when I couldn’t check out another book (which was the K-unlimited) I still probably haven’t returned that first book! Ha!
That’s exactly what I thought! I didn’t know Prime Reading was a different thing. I morphed it with Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owner’s Lending Library. There are so many ways to get lots of books for a good price! | 2019-04-20T00:41:21Z | http://bectonliterary.com/making-the-most-of-amazon-prime-prime-reading/ |
New York, NY - January 15, 2014 - Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced that he has received a commitment that John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) will be assigned additional customs agents as the result of increased appropriations for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as part of the Fiscal Year 2014 Appropriations bill. This bill has boosted CBP’s funding by $165.7 million in order for the agency to hire 2,000 new agents nationwide. Specifically, the bill increases CBP’s overall budget to $10.6 billion, which is over $220 million more than FY2013. Schumer explained that $165.7 million of the new funding was explicitly prescribed “for the purpose of hiring, training, and equipping new U.S. customs and border protection offices.” During a confirmation hearing today, Schumer secured a commitment from Gil Kerlikowske, who is currently undergoing the confirmation process to be Commissioner of CBP, that he would commit to bringing an adequate portion of these new agents and resources to JFK once he has been confirmed.
In September 2013, Schumer made an appeal to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement new measures that would help alleviate incredibly long lines for travelers using customs at JFK and he continued his push at a confirmation hearing today for Kerlikowske. Schumer’s appeal comes after a report revealed that customs lines at JFK Airport were among the longest wait times in the country. According to the report, the average delay during peak hours could be two hours or more.
On July 1, 2013, at 6 am, the wait was 140 minutes.
On August 3, 2013, at 4 pm, the wait was 120 minutes.
On August 24, 2013, at 4 pm, the wait was 3 hours.
Schumer has long advocated measures to decrease these wait times, including a personal call in September to then-Acting DHS Secretary Rand Beers, during which Schumer asked Beers to approve and install new automated Passport kiosks, as well as assign additional Custom and Border Patrol agents at JFK. Schumer also urged his colleagues to boost funding for the Customs and Border Protection in the Fiscal Year 2014 Appropriations bill, above the current 2013 levels and called current DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson to press his case.
Today, Schumer announced that the recently released appropriations agreement called for $165.7 million to hire 2,000 new agents nationwide, and that he has received a commitment from Gil Kerlikowske that, when confirmed as Commissioner of CBP, he will assign an adequate portion of these new agents to JFK. These additional agents will enable the airport to decrease wait times and continue to be a major economic driver. | 2019-04-23T23:55:34Z | https://www.longisland.com/news/01-16-14/schumer-receives-commitment-that-jfk-will-get-additional-customs-agents-as-part-of-165-million-budget-boost-for-us-customs-border-protection.html?print=1&page=1 |

Amid a contentious government shutdown, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has written President Trump a letter, suggesting that in lieu of delivering a State of the Union speech, as the president intends, he submit his address in writing.
Although Americans today are accustomed to seeing the president deliver the SOTU, Pelosi notes in her letter that “during the 19th century and up until the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, these annual State of the Union messages were delivered to Congress in writing.” Pelosi also notes that a SOTU has never been delivered amidst a government shutdown.
Although the State of the Union started as an oral address–both George Washington and John Adams delivered speeches to Congress–Thomas Jefferson was the first to balk at the tradition.
Jefferson had several reasons why he believed a written address was superior to a speech. First of all, the third president nursed a fear of public speaking. He also believed that a letter was more efficient than a speech–that it would take less time to read than to listen, and that a written document would give legislators time to think about their response. Historians have also noted that giving a speech had a king-like aura, something that a republican like Jefferson would abhor.
Then again, Jefferson could have simply found trudging to Congress to give a speech inconvenient.
In any case, the tradition that Jefferson set remained for over one hundred years, until Woodrow Wilson decide to return to the ways of Washington and Adams, and give a speech before Congress instead of simply sending a letter.
Since then, a spoken SOTU has indeed become a national habit, even more so than in Wilson’s day thanks to mass communication tools like radio, television, and internet.
That’s not to say that the written version of the SOTU has been abandoned entirely–as lame duck presidents, Truman, Eisenhower, and Carter chose to submit a written message instead of giving a speech before Congress.
Whether or not Trump will heed Pelosi’s advice has yet to be seen, and certainly a president might balk at giving up the bully pulpit power of television. In any case, we’ll leave you with a cartoon of Theodore Roosevelt, who was thoroughly dismayed that Wilson had the idea of a SOTU speech, something that Roosevelt himself would have enthusiastically embraced. | 2019-04-22T02:13:30Z | https://history-first.com/tag/sotu/ |

by B. A. COLA and J. M. URITIS - Missile and Surface Radar Division DEP, Moorestown, N. J.
JOSEPH M. URITIS graduated from Newark College of Engineering in 1937 with a BSME. Before joining RCA in 1946, he was a design engineer for Bernard Aviation Equipment Corp., New York City. In 1941, he engaged in the design and test of main propulsion and auxiliary shipboard equipment at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. At RCA, Mr. Uritis has designed disk recorders for broadcast studios and other commercial applications. As a member of the Advanced Development Group, he was responsible for conception of the tape files used in RCA Electronic Data Processing equipment. In video recording, he was active in the design and development of the time division multiplex video recorder, and later, the quadruplex color video recorder. He was responsible for the design of the Broadband Recorder (AN/TLH-I) built for the Signal Corps. When the BMEWS program started, he designed magnetic drums and discs for that project, and later was responsible for design of the TRADEX tape transport. During design of the precision tape recorders for Bell Labs, he was responsible for the mechanical design.
Mr. Uritis holds 8 patents in the recorder field.
BENJAMIN A. COLA graduated from Drexel Institute in June 1950 with a BSEE. At this time he joined RCA and worked on the design of power supplies, video circuits, TV airborne cameras, naval radar tracking equipment and servo mechanisms in the Special Devices Department. A period of one year was spent on systems analysis of shoran bombing and reconnaissance equipment. He received an MSEE degree in June 1955 at the University of Pennsylvania. In August 1955 he was transferred to the newly formed Missile and Surface Radar Section, where he worked on analog data processing assignments for TALOS, ATLAS, BMEWS, DAMP, and TRADEX. His most recent assignment was design project engineer on the development of a precision high speed tape recorder.
This multiple-channel, wideband precision tape recorder was developed as a basic element in a tracking radar system to be used in multiple target environments. All signals received by the radar tracking the target in real time are tape recorded. Thus, all targets viewed by the radar during a "live" exercise can be repeatedly acquired, tracked, and analyzed through playback at a later date. To permit recovery of maximum information, data is recorded in the form of unprocessed radar IF signals; then on playback, the optimum signal-processing system recovers each target parameter of interest.
Radar target parameters such as range, doppler, and angle position must be measured precisely; at the same time, target resolution and relative amplitude must be preserved. Such performance requirements impose challenging demands on a radar tape recorder - particularly signal-to-noise performance, gain and phase tracking between channels, gain linearity, transport velocity stability, and interchannel jitter.
Fig. 1 shows the complete radar tape recorder designed to meet these standards of performance. The radar tape recorder provides 15 channels with a bandwidth capability in excess of 6 Mc; the recorder operates at a tape speed of 1,180 ips and a velocity stability of better than 1 part in 105. The recording time is 6 minutes. The radar system utilizes these capabilities to record 8 channels of 3.5 Mc video radar signals along with 7 wideband channels of timing, digital, and other reference signals for processing by the radar in serial form.
The radar tape recorder (Fig. 2) stores ungated if information from the uhf and L-band receivers so that during subsequent playbacks, targets can be acquired and tracked in angle, range, and doppler.
The receiver-exciter sends repetition rate pulses to the UHF and L-band transmitters where the power is stepped up and sent to the antenna for transmission. The receiver-exciter receives the returns from targets and sends them to the tape recorder and tracking receiver.
The tracking receiver (in conjunction with the range tracker) tracks targets in angle, range, and doppler during real time or from tape playback. The tracking receiver also provides agc, scintillation, doppler, and range information to describe the target to the data recorder. The tracking receiver also provides azimuth and elevation errors to the angle servos that drive the pedestal, keeping the antenna on target during live track.
By recording the radar returns on tapes, it is possible to separate and analyze the targets of a missile shot as many times as desired and, thereby, effect an economy of radar systems and missile firings.
Based on the principal radar requirements of Table I, specifications for the radar tape recorder were determined. Requirements for frequency and polarization diversity and for monopulse angle tracking resulted in a need for eight signal channels. Range and doppler accuracies were improved through the use of a recorded if reference signal and a range clock signal. Additional channels were used for a transport servo-speed reference, pedestal angular position data, and time-of-day codes - resulting in a 15-channel machine (see chart of Table II).
The principal specifications for the radar tape recorder are Table III. Reasons for some of these specifications are described herein. The signal-to-noise (S/N) specification is dictated by the desired system dynamic range. Velocity stability is necessary to assure doppler tracking accuracy as well as to minimize the occurrence of spurious signal spectral lines due to transport velocity modulation. Gain and phase track specifications assure accuracy in the measurement of target angle offset.
Gain and phase linearity maintains good target resolution by avoiding pulse distortion or distortion echoes. Low interchannel jitter is important in measuring accurately the signal polarization vector, range, and angle. Bandwidth is determined by the radar pulse characteristic; at the signal input to the recorder, the pulse is in the form of a cosine squared.
1) Gain linearity and gain tracking are very difficult to achieve in an am system because of the effect of the nonlinear magnetization characteristic of the tape and because of variations in tape sensitivity.
2) An fm system minimizes the effects of tape drop outs, variations in sensitivity of the magnetics and am variations introduced by changes in the effective head-air-gap with tape pressures. Good gain linearity can be achieved by frequency modulators and demodulators.
The choice of FM recording results in the disadvantage of greater circuit complexity because of the above requirements for frequency modulators and demodulators and also the need for more bandwidth than that in an am system. In fm, the bandwidth required to pass the sideband frequencies depends on the desired S/N performance, and on a minimum fm carrier frequency that prevents fold-over of the side frequencies. The final choice resulted in a 4.5-Mc fm carrier frequency with significant sideband frequencies extending from 0.2 Mc to 8Mc.
The 8-Mc bandwidth required that the relative speed between tape and head exceed a minimum value determined by the magnetic head gap-length. Since head gap-length could not conveniently be made less than 40 microinches (0.000040 inch), a tape speed of 1,180 ips was used; at this speed, 6 miles of tape are required to provide 5 minutes of recording time. Because of the requirement for multiple channels, longitudinal recording was chosen.
The basic design criteria for the tape recorder were established, based on a consideration of signal-to-noise, gain tracking, gain linearity, bandwidth and multiple channel capability.
Satisfying the requirements for velocity stability and interchannel jitter depended to a large extent on the mechanical perfection of the tape transport and the performance of the servo speed control. The main elements of the transport are shown in Fig. 3. The recorder components are assembled to a jig plate which is accurately aligned and attached to a rigid frame to assure a precise tape path. The complete assembly is shock-mounted within its cabinet.
The 5-minute recording requirement resulted in 30-inch-diameter reels weighing 50 pounds and containing 6 miles of 1.1-mil magnetic tape plus 2,500 feet of clear leader at each end. The tape is accelerated to full recording speed in 60 seconds and is stopped in the same time. The reels are equipped with quick-disconnect knobs to facilitate fast reloading and permit uninterrupted recording with two transports. Tape guides and tensioners are air lubricated so that frictional contact to the tape occurs only at the capstan edge-guide and at the magnetic heads.
Remote control of recording, subsequent repeated playbacks, and rewinds dictated that the tape remain threaded and taut during and following each run. To accomplish this, programmed acceleration and deceleration cycles were employed at the start and end of the tape runs. A length of clear polyester leader is attached to each end of the tape; transitions from clear leader to tape are sensed photoelectrically to initiate the program.
The capstan-head assembly of Fig. 4 is designed for quick replacement by utilizing an air manifold which automatically seals upon installation of the capstan. Two blocks of magnetic heads, one an 8-track and the other a 7-track are supplied by the RCA Broadcast and Communication Products Division. Heads are prealigned on arms for fast replacement once initial adjustment of the head arm support has been made.
To achieve constant tape speed, the capstan assembly employs an air-turbine drive and hydrostatic air bearings. Capstan speed is sensed by a tone wheel and controlled by a hysteresis brake; both are integral parts of the capstan shaft. To minimize longitudinal vibrations, the tape is stabilized by making simultaneous contact with both the capstan and the heads. Since the tape is not perfectly smooth nor of uniform thickness, it is necessary to relieve the capstan surface behind the area where the heads contact the tape.
The velocity stability specification of 1 part in 105 imposes a severe runout requirement on the capstan assembly; the angular velocity generates flutter components of 87cps and higher multiples which are above the bandwidth of the capstan-servo correction capability.
Therefore, the dynamic runout of the capstan must be held to less than 20 microinches; it is done by using the ultimate in precision grinding, hand lapping, and dynamic balancing. An additional benefit in reducing the effects of capstan runout is derived from depressing the heads into the tape a*bove the capstan grooves; thus, the heads may be firmly positioned at a fixed radius from the rotational axis of the capstan. Head contact pressure is controlled by a very precise adjusting screw which advances the head only 5 mils per revolution. Pressure applied is measured as an increment of the capstan hysteresis brake current.
Mechanical resonances throughout the tape path produce variations in tape tension, resulting in minute (but not inconsequential) variations in tape velocity at the capstan. Such variations can be caused by improper tape guide design, or by insufficient damping where resonant systems exist in the tape path, as at the tape tensioners. Since these effects are not necessarily uniform, or in-phase across the width of the tape, they produce the undesirable effect defined in the specifications as "phase jitter." The allowable phase jitter between signals (recorded half the width of the tape apart) is ±20 nsec; this corresponds to roughly a differential displacement of 24 microinches.
4) precise alignment of all tape guides.
Compressed air, supplied by a remote unit at 100-psi nominal pressure, operates the transport. Air is oil free and dried to -40°F dew point. Outlet air-supply filters and filters at the air inlets to the cabinet and to the capstan air-bearing line protect the air-pressure regulating valves and the close-fitting capstan bearings. In the event of a compressor failure, a reserve air supply brings the transport to a safe halt.
Pressure-sensitive switches are set a few pounds below the lower limit of the normal pressure variation range of the air supply. When the air-supply pressure falls below a predetermined value, turbine air is cut off and the transport goes into its programmed stopping cycle. Mechanical brakes on the reel spindles stop the reels quickly to minimize tape spillage in the event of a power failure or loss of tape tension.
Each tape reel is belt driven by a two-phase 400-cps induction motor and controlled by an independent servo system. The control signal for the reel servo loop is obtained from the tape sensor device nearest the particular reel involved (see Fig. 3). The stator of the induction potentiometer is excited by an AC reference supply and produces an error signal proportional to the velocity error of the tape at the reel. The Ac-induced voltage in the rotor, which is the error signal, is amplified and applied to a carrier-referenced demodulator; then, the dc output of this circuit is used to drive the operational amplifier shown in Fig. 5.
An additional feedback loop is provided by an AC tachometer on the servo motor shaft. The 400-cps signal is demodulated to dc to make it compatible with the tape error signal; it is easier to realize the proper stability networks in the dc domain, and AC quadrature problems are completely eliminated - providing a more stable design with less effort.
The tachometer feedback signal is combined with the tape speed-error signal in a summing operational amplifier to compensate for the non-linearity of the magnetic amplifiers which are as the servo power amplifiers. The summing operational amplifier output is the servo control signal used to drive the magnetic amplifier; the magnetic amplifier controls the 400-cps power supplied to the reel servo motor.
The capstan servo drives the tape with highly precise speed control by two servo loops: one a frequency lock, and the other a phase comparison control to obtain high sensitivity (Fig. 6). Pulses derived from the capstan tone wheel and proportional to tape speed are passed through a 400-usec delay line; capstan speed is varied by the servo until the pulse frequency corresponds with the delay of the line. The 400-usec delay line is equivalent to a tone-wheel frequency of 2,500 pps (this servoing of the capstan speed to near synchronous value is called a frequency lock). When a frequency lock occurs, the phase of the reference 2,500 pps begins to zero beat with the tone wheel; thus, a phase error is produced which adjusts the capstan speed to a full phase lock.
The phase detector producing the speed-control signal is extremely sensitive; the slightest change of capstan tone-wheel frequency results in a considerable phase error. Once the capstan servo is locked in, complete control of the speed is maintained by the phase loop. The basic speed control of the capstan driving the tape is obtained by applying air pressure to the capstan turbine. The turbine air pressure would drive the capstan at a speed much higher than needed; however, the servo controlled hysteresis brake reduces it to the desired value.
The capstan speed is locked to a crystal oscillator by servoing the tone wheel during the record mode. During the playback mode, the control track, a recorded 2,500-pps reference frequency standard, is servoed to the same crystal oscillator. The slight difference between the capstan speed and the tape speed is removed by this playback servo technique. Electronically variable delay lines are used in those channels requiring additional velocity refinement corrections to the radar data (Fig. 7).
The technique of comparing the playback of a recorded 2,500-pps crystal clock with the same crystal clock and using the resultant error voltage to drive the capstan cancels out all low-frequency speed variations of the tape. However, this method does not remove high-frequency components of speed variation resulting from such sources as capstan asymmetry and high-frequency tape flutter. The capstan turns at 87 cps and introduces Fourier series tape-speed components 174 and 261 cps in both record and playback modes; such components cannot be servoed out because of the limited response of the capstan. To remove the effects of the capstan asymmetry and other speed deviations, electronically variable delay lines are inserted into all channels that need precision speed stabilization; a control voltage advances and delays each channel of data in order to make the tape information appear to be coming from a perfectly constant speed tape.
The control of these electronically variable delay lines is accomplished with the closed-reference automatic-time-correction (atc) loop of Fig. 7. When the capstan servo has locked in, the reference playback signal averages 2,500-pps - but there will be expansions and contractions of the pulse periods for the reasons previously described. This reference playback signal is inserted into an electronically variable delay line that removes the high-frequency speed variations. The tape-playback 2,500-pps reference is compared to the clock-reference 2,500 pps in a phase detector; the resultant error signal changes on a pulse-to-pulse basis. This error is amplified and the atc loop stabilized by passing the signal through an operational amplifier with the proper transfer function.
The resultant amplified error output is used to drive the reference delay line, completing a closed loop. It is apparent that the error signal created will advance or delay the playback pulses to slave them to the clock-reference 2,500 pps by removing the high-frequency components of flutter. At this point, the 2,500-pps reference passing through the delay has had the stabilization of the capstan servo control and the atc servo electronic correction. The signal that drives the reference delay line also drives the six signal delay-lines because the speed correction required is approximately the same for all channels.
The interchannel jitter must be small in order to make this type of delay line correction effective; moreover, this condition is assured by meticulous design of the tape transport. There must be very little phase jitter between channels, since the correction signal of the atc servo loop is not only applied to the reference line, but also (as an open-loop correction) to all of the signal delay lines.
To measure intertrack jitter during the mechanical development of the tape transport, the precise measuring technique of Fig. 8 was used. It consists of recording a 1.5-Mc sine-wave signal upon the two tracks in question, playing these channels back, and then mixing them down to 200 kc. The exchange of phase angle between the two signals remains the same at 200 kc as it was at 1.5 Mc, and it can be handled by a commercially available phase meter. The output of the phase meter was observed on a scope, spectrum analyzer, and pen recorder. A typical pen recording of the intertrack phase jitter is shown in Fig. 9.
The most interesting aspects of the signal electronics for the radar tape recorder relate to the problems of linearity and bandwidth in the precision fm channels. Fig. 10 shows the elements of a typical "fm" channel. In the record mode, the signal in the form of radar video pulses is converted to an "fm" signal in a modulator. It is then amplified in a record amplifier which drives the record-playback head as a constant-current generator. On playback, the signal is amplified in a preamplifier and then in a playback amplifier which includes aperture equalization to compensate for the magnetic-head frequency response characteristic. The signal is then reconverted to a radar video signal in the frequency demodulator.
The bandwidth required in an fm system is dictated by the rise-time requirement; the system S/N ratio is a function of this bandwidth.
From this expression, it can be shown that a peak frequency deviation of 1.5 Mc achieves S/N performance greater than 40db assuming that the ratio of peak carrier to rms tape noise per megacycle is 48db.
The radar tape recorder was designed to record radar pulses with a video bandwidth of 3.5 Mc; for the frequency modulation of these signals, a 4.5-Mc carrier was used to minimize the effect of "fold over" (side frequency terms) in the fm signal.
The primary problem of equalization is related to the need for compensating the amplitude-versus-frequency response of the magnetic playback process. The flat amplitude and linear phase responses required to meet the performance specifications for the radar tape recorder were achieved. The following equation, however, shows that the amplitude response of the playback process is not flat and further that the phase response is linear. Therefore, the equalization must compensate for the amplitude response of the playback process without introducing a nonlinear phase characteristic.
Analysis of the magnetics problem results in the following equation for the output voltage from a playback head, assuming a sinusoidal recorded flux on the tape.
Two tape recorders have been in continuous operation on the pacific missile range for almost a year and have recorded and preserved much valuable data for further analysis and evaluation. The advanced techniques employed have proven invaluable in the study of missile re-entry.
Credit for work on the original Tradex tape recording system, which was a forerunner of the high-speed precision tape system described in this paper, is due to H. R. Warren and his associates in the DEP Communications Systems Division.
Also, credit for magnetic head design is extended to the Magnetic Head Development and Design Group of the Broadcast and Communications Products Division, under the direction of B. F. Melchionni. This project was completed successfully because of the tireless efforts of many people with varied skills. It would be unjust not to mention two of the technical giants, Thomas Bolger and Jackson, who did so much to bring this project to fruition.

Cornerstone Kansas City’s Director of Client Services, Lisa Bruemmer writes about the critical importance of in-person meetings during the Executive Search recruiting and hiring process.
Does it make a sound? I guess that depends on if anyone is listening.
I recently read an article on Thrive Global, If You Do This, You Will Have Better Relationships, by Mareo McCracken and it got me thinking. Does the continual striving to be heard make sense if nobody is listening?
Listening is a skill. An art. It requires practice and focus to do it well. The payoff for honing our listening skills is huge both personally and professionally so why aren’t we better at it? I think the answer is simple but difficult to overcome. Most of us are much more concerned about being heard. Our communication has become automated and one-sided as we become reliant on our cell phones, text, email, twitter, Instagram, facebook, etc. to tell, sell, inform and connect. Everyone is talking which begs the question, who is listening?
Professional and personal relationships require good listening. A resume doesn’t tell you who a candidate is only what they’ve done and an email can’t convey what the hiring manager is like to work with or the culture of a business. So, I recommend you take that old school, face-to-face meeting whenever you can. Cornerstone Kansas City is listening. | 2019-04-20T19:14:38Z | http://cornerstone-kc.com/meeting-in-person-critical-executive-search-hiring-process/ |
Following a multi-million pound revamp, Hastings Library re-opened on 2 March 2018 and unveiled a striking new artwork by Sir Quentin Blake. His work adorns the Children’s Library, which relocated to the Brassey Institute from its former home in Robertson Passage, as part of the major project.
Hastings Library reopened following the project which has seen the historic building at the heart of the town protected and enhanced. A new roof and lift were installed, the building was rewired and all lighting was replaced before the addition of new furniture, more computers and improved toilet facilities and the introduction of free WiFi. The library will host a range of children’s activities including Code Clubs, Rhyme time and Storytime, while adults can join IT For You to develop computer skills or ask for help in a Computer Buddy session. In addition to offering a range of books to borrow, the library will hold a range of reference information for study of the local area, as well as DVDs and health and wellbeing resources. The public computers provide free access to the internet, training courses, online reference materials, research programs for family history. Learning services will now operate from their own dedicated computer suite on the second floor, providing opportunities to improve literacy, numeracy and computer skills.
Visit East Sussex County Council's website for further details about Hastings Library opening times and facilities. | 2019-04-20T08:15:36Z | https://www.quentinblake.com/news/new-quentin-blake-artwork-unveiled-hastings-library |

I have posted a letter of intent similar to this in the past... doing so in this various places for years, but wanted to renew the sentiments for the coming season.
I write today you to tell you of my RENEWED intentions for this year so as to spare you any confusion or frustration when next you encounter me. It is my intention to remain 'in character' as much as possible during my travels for this present year.
"Our organization will educate via a series of first person activities designed to demonstrate the real lives of sailors as they go about their business and live their lives."
There is no doubt in my mind that this could be difficult for me, but also for those around me; and I do not wish to alienate any of my friends or compatriots. Things will not be much different, I imagine, than they have been in the past... you've all met the Doctor during YOUR travels, and know the agreeable sort of fellow he can be.
I am generally already 'in character' for all the visitors and guests I work with at various events, if done correctly, I believe it can be a powerful learning tool for the public.
In addition, I'd like to request that you all help me to do this by not trying to 'snap me out of it' by mentioning a bunch of modern stuff to me whilst at an event. I believe that enough of you have my email address and are friends with me on various forums, message boards and social networking sites... that any out of character conversation can safely take place there at any time.
I tell you now that if you attempt to talk to the Doctor about movies, internet, cellphones and the like, he will be terribly confused. There is a time and a place for talk of that sort, and for me, it's NOT while I'm dressed out at an event.
I daresay I will go one step further and challenge YOU once again to give your interpretation and character some thought. It's no fun if I don't have a few of you to play along!
Special thanks to everyone that has encouraged me (verbally & otherwise) to do this in the past, I look forward to the additional research that I need to do over the fall and winter to get me where I need to be... and the Doctor looks forward to meeting you in the year to come. This has the potential to be a really fantastic learning experience! | 2019-04-21T04:17:43Z | http://www.hmsacasta.com/2014/05/a-letter-of-intent-renewd.html |
Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa should be brought to book as he is the prime suspect in all cases of large scale corruption, said Power and Energy Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka this evening.
Speaking at a seminar organised by the Anti-Corruption Front at the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute, Mr. Ranawaka said the present regime should be firm in dealing with those who face corruption charges and penalise everyone who had been involved in fraud and corruption in the recent past — right from the top to the bottom.
“We cannot afford to be lethargic about overcoming corruption,” he said; stressing that the racketeers who were involved in large scale corruption and fraud were trying to find a way out.
He said some of them may try to bribe prominent members of the present regime in order to escape.
Referring to the arrest of former UNP general secretary Tissa Attanayake, he said others involved in the campaign accusing Maithripala Sirisena and Ranil Wickremesinghe of having a secret pact should also be arrested. | 2019-04-22T08:52:07Z | http://www.uktamilnews.com/?p=9348 |

Our local Albertson’s, in Oregon, removed self service checkouts during the summer. Self service checkouts have been seen as a semi-automated way of reducing labor costs, and for some customers, a faster checkout experience. However, Albertson’s grocery is now removing self service checkouts from additional (but not all) stores in Southern California.

On the 12th Day of Christmas my true love gave to me, twelve Drummers Drumming.
I just want you to think about it for a minute people. In the name of interesting gift giving, this poor lady now has girls milking cows, others dancing around her courtyard. She has a small band of pipers and drummers. Oh, and let's not forget the band of leaping lords. She is overrun by all kinds of fowl including geese, partridges, turtle doves, swans and hens. But its not all bad. She has managed to get a bit of jewelry out of the whole thing. I guess she could have done worse. She could have gotten a box of chocolates and the dude could have called it quits. He certainly gets an A for creativity if nothing else.
Over here in our little Fig Tree neck of the woods, we are a bit tired and certainly dazed by all of your shopping prowess. You guyss are quite a dedicated bunch and we really appreciate you!
For this last day we have a grab bag of little goodies. All those little items that we didn't manage to share on any other day. We have: LITTLE BAG O' PEARL BUTTONS, TWINE, CHARMS, POT HOLDERS & a few new BUNDLES.

For many manufacturers, compressed air is often extremely expensive.
On average, compressed air costs can consist of up to 50% of the total electric expenditure of a large manufacturing plant – adding up to millions of dollars per year.
Our fundamental approach at Bay Controls is to work with you to reduce your compressed air system energy usage and, in turn, bring you predictable and reliable energy savings of 10-13%. This approach is based on several core strategies.
Our controllers use powerful microprocessors to collect and analyze critical compressor monitoring points up to 100 times every second. Through this industry-leading combination of power and data, we can recognize and react to even the smallest changes in air system conditions faster than any other systems out there.
As a result, Bay controllers consistently maintain pressure within a narrow 1-2 psi band and enable pressure set points to be lowered while still reliably maintaining the minimum required system pressure. Lowered pressure points bring about immediate and substantial savings.
According to the Department of Energy, the average compressed air system loses between 10-30% of its air due to leaks. Our focus is at Bay Controls to reduce potential leaks and translate that into lowered costs.
Since our controllers enable lower pressure set points with precise pressure control bands, they also drastically reduce the amount of lost and leaked air.
Many control systems don’t have the ability to automatically start and stop as plant air demand changes. The result? Air compressors often run continuously and unloaded for long periods of times.
Bay controllers allow you to schedule your air when you need it, matching your air supply to your demand based on your plant’s production. You can reduce unnecessary run time and save energy overall.
As an energy solutions company, Bay Controls is often included in the custom incentive programs that investor-owned utilities (IOUs) offer their customers. IOUs are focused on reducing energy consumption, and our systems and solutions are the perfect way to achieve these goals.
If you’re considering doing any energy projects at your facility and are eligible for a custom incentive program from your IOU provider, we can offset the project costs and have a faster ROI on any investment(s) you make.
Would you like to learn how you can save up to 10-13% on your total energy spend?

I took this photo weeks ago. I was in my third round of color edits. Finally, I initialed each sheet for the printers with a big OK and off they went.
That is part of the process I did not understand at all. My computer puts out color in RGB. A printer prints in CMYK. I can import the color palette from the printer I can calibrate my screen but guess what. It is all still a guess. You have no idea what things will look like until they are actually on paper.
Talk about a ridiculously inaccurate process that just adds to the mysteries of book publishing. How do professional photographers deal with this. My printer kept reminding me that this is technical manual and that it didn't need to be perfect.
I guess they have never met me. Now don't get me wrong. This book is not perfect. Yet, on Oct 24th I pushed the button and the files were out of my hands.
Hands that are still empty at the moment but can't wait to get them on the real thing and see what the photos really look like, the weight of the book in my hands. Today it is all still an idea, but soon it will be reality. | 2019-04-24T16:53:32Z | http://www.cochiseclimbing.com/blog/archives/11-2016 |
Week 2 weigh in this morning and I have lost 10lbs!!
Great job! This is amazing! Keep up the amazing work!
Way to go on your 10 Lbs loss!! Yahooo!!! Keep on, keeping on!!
So had a very rough week with staying on track, not only did the long weekend trip me up, I was craving everything under the moon this week and struggled everyday. My weight fluctuated a lot this week and was back up to 278 but this mornings "official" weigh in is at 272 which I can live with because my cravings were caused by TOM which finally came on Friday, so hoping that by staying on target next weeks weigh in will be at least 265. Now that it is the weekend I have to be especially strong because at least during the week I have routine because of work that help keeps me on track. The carnival is also in town and we took the kiddo last night and she had a blast, I had worked yesterday to make sure I had enough cals left and had a great workout so I didn't feel guilty having a corn dog, which I order the small one and that was more than enough to satisfy the craving. On the way out of the carnival the family wanted deep fried oreo's which are just as horrific for you as they sound, but we always get them, just happens this year I am trying to lose weight, but we still got them and I had one so that is over and done with. Kiddo wants to go back today and I will take her since she has some tickets left but not getting any food today, but we might if we get in a really good workout get an ice cream cone. I decided I am not going to get rid of all the things in my life that I enjoy, I just have to learn to moderate and to workout to burn it off. I have cut out a lot of the unnecessary crud that is so harmful and I have started eating breakfast and lunch and snacks through out the day instead of waiting until I get home and then binge until the time I go to bed. Those little changes alone are making the difference. It is going to be a slow weight loss, but I have lost the weight very fast before and gained every pound back and then some. So just making lifestyle changes and just taking care of me for a change.

Glad you were able to maintain through a rough weekend. I hope you get your new siggy tomorrow.
Yay I was able to set up my signature today!! Little things make me happy.
Down 7 lbs since last Saturday! I know some of that is water so I was happy that I made it to my weekly goal!
Had a great week I stayed on track. I went to the gym everyday and had wonderful workouts! I did not binge at all, I have made it through 12 days without a slip up at all!
My daughter and I walked in Relay for Life yesterday afternoon, we couldn't stay the entire day and night because my daughter is only 6 and it was super hot so we were out there for 4 and a 1/2 hours and we clocked in 6 miles which is wonderful and we had a wonderful time. Next year we plan on being there start to finish so we will build up to it over the next year.
Life is good, I have changed a lot mentally over the past month and it has made a difference. I am so much more happier than I have been in a very long time and when momma is happy, everyone is happy LOL I am half way to my first mini goal and once I get there I will do a week of maintenance. Maybe two weeks. To make sure I can stay at that weight before I take it to another level so I can knock off the next 30 lbs. I am hoping by doing this I won't hit that dreaded wall that I always seem to hit.
Since I did Relay yesterday (which Saturday is my normal break day) today I am resting, my body aches a bit today so I am going to relax and rest and be ready to hit hard again tomorrow!
wow.. you have already committed (hardest part for me).
its just going to get better from here !
"Official weigh in week 5"
Made it through the week very well, worked out every single day and stayed on plan and didn't have any slip ups in meals. I can tell already that my heart and lungs are getting much stronger because I am able to to go a full 35 minutes on the elliptical now and I know I could go longer but my lunch breaks are only an hour and I have to shower because I do get very sweaty. I am able to work with my heartrate around 146 to 150 for 30 of those minutes so I know I am getting healthier regardless of what the scales say. I have had a pretty crappy day but have been on my feet since 7am taking care of my kids first case and hopefully the last case of lice, I was livid to find out they don't do screenings in school any more because it "hurts the kids feelings" when they get sent home with lice, so instead now they let them just run a muck and don't tell anyone or even find out when there is an outbreak. But after spending 5 hours working on her hair (she has very long and thick hair) I then cleaned everything on the top floor of the house and have washed all of the bedding and pretty much all of the clothes again. On top of that I got an abscessed tooth yesterday and have been dealing with that as well. The positive thing is that I stayed very busy today and got loads of exercise cleaning the house. I will finish the laundry and clean the bottom floor tomorrow and I have to wash and vacuum the car to make sure there are no buggies in there. I know that it happens to just about every kid, I just hate it LOL. Anywho that's my weekly update.
Seriously wanting to give up today, it was a really crappy weekend and I feel like why flippin bother anymore. Just having a blue day I guess and hoping that when I go to the gym at lunch it will snap me out of my funk. Just feeling used anymore so why should I try and make myself better, no one gives a real damn anyways. The answer to that question I know is, that I give a damn and that I am doing this for myself. I am just tired. Tired of trying and doing and doing it all. Maybe instead of the elliptical I need to do boxing workouts LOL. Anywho I had to get that off my chest so I can stop brooding and just move on with the day.
Well thankfully I pulled myself out of my funk yesterday. I did make it to the gym for a really good workout but it was funny because I got to the gym and quickly realized that I had forgotten my socks and well in the mood that I was already in I for a split second thought about not working out and just going back up to my desk but I was like, no I have to do this, so I did my workout without my socks and was so glad that I did because it just helped me get over myself and the feelings that I was having and to just get myself back on track. This journey is going to be a long slow and painful process but it just has to keep going. I have to completely accept that this is my lot in life and that even though it is not easy I have to do it and get healthy or it is going to be a short and miserable life.
I seriously don't get it, and think my scales officially hate me. I have worked so hard this week and have been good on my food and I just don't understand why I have not lost anything, not even a pound. I am hoping that it is just because that I have had TOM again this week for the second time this month.
I have decided that if the scales aren't moving something has to be changing so I took measurements of my whole body, or at least the parts I care about LOL I just wish I had done that when I started this process. So the embarrassing numbers are below and I will measure again next week.
I have also increased my cardio workout to 40 minutes on the elliptical and I have been able to increase it to 3 miles total while maintaining a heart rate average of 150 for 30 of the 40 minutes. So I know I am getting stronger because I have to work harder to get my heart rate up and keep it up. I am also in the processing finding a new house, I viewed one last night and fell in love with it, but so did lots of other people so I am putting it out in the universe that if this is meant to be then it will happen and be easy. PLease be easy, I am tired of having to struggle through everything LOL.
Man these numbers don't lie and sure do make me feel like a whale. But you know I honestly don't feel that way most of the time, most of the time I feel like I am smaller than I am, and I am ok until I look at a picture or I look in the mirror. It messes with my head sometimes but I haven't given up yet. If though I go through another week without any loss then I am going to have to change my food again and I don't know how much smaller I can on my food, because I need some food, I can't get by on just veggies lol. Anyways I have a ton to do this weekend with cleaning and packing and looking for houses ( just in case the one from last night falls through). So take care all and thank you for reading.

Well I let what usually happens happen...I let stress get in the way of what I was working towards. Lost all motivation, starting eating like crazy, and I didn't stop me, neither did anyone else. I even stopped coming here, actually I think the 25th of June was the last time I logged in. Its all in my head, I know, I just don't know how to deal with stress or not speaking my mind in any other way than hurting myself. It comes so easy for some, but not me. Whatever it may be, I need to cut the strings and get over it, I need to become a totally different person, I need to become me. I am too busy trying to do and be what everyone else wants me to be that I have never learned who I am and what I want in my life. I don't love myself and never really have. I am told that I am a very negative person, always depressed, and think everything stinks. Partly this is true, and while I don't know 100% of the cause I certain know a few key things that are causing most of my grief, and if I would just learn to open my mouth and say what is on my mind or hurting me or what I disagree with then I think I can start making the changes in my life that will help me get to a different level. I fear though hurting anyone's feeling and most people don't like people to disagree with them so I always walk on eggshells and worry about what people think and I just internalize everything, so on top of my weight I have years and years worth of pent up feelings that don't go anywhere but eat away at me everyday. Sometimes I wish I could just be a *****, that would make it so much easier because I wouldn't care what anyone thought.
At any rate I just needed to talk that out and at least not have that floating around my head. I went back to the gym today, didn't want to but I did. I will get back on track. I am a person who needs help that is for darn sure, maybe some day I will figure it all out, hopefully sooner rather than later. | 2019-04-22T22:15:32Z | https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/mini-goals/234274-mini-goal-30lbs.html |

The old Reading Viaduct, becoming a city park? Talks have been going on for eight years to get city officials on board with the idea. Now, the city is in talks with Reading International Co. to take control of the larger section of the viaduct to transform it into an elevated public park.
Meanwhile, the Center City District is working with SEPTA on a legal agreement to create a park on the shorter section of the viaduct owned by the transit agency. | 2019-04-24T00:27:59Z | http://iradiophilly.com/thepost.php?featured=&page=757&SearchString= |

There is no Sun without Shadow is a personal response to the death of my Father. After making a solitary journey to the Alps; to find meaning, to be alone. I came back with no answers. Only the chaos of life and the grandeur of nature embedded in my mind.
These photographs are a contemplation on cyclical life, the absurd and my own experience.

A twin prime is a prime number that has a prime gap of two. In other words, to qualify as a twin prime, the prime number must be either 2 less or 2 more than another prime number (which by definition would mean that it, too, is a twin prime)?for example, the twin prime pair (41, 43). Two is not considered a twin prime, since it violates the aforementioned rule. | 2019-04-18T13:15:13Z | https://www.java-programs.thiyagaraaj.com/twin_prime_java_example_program.html |

When the labeled data are few, exploiting amount of unlabeled data can be helpful for improve learning performance of classifier. The key issue for active learning to solve is how to select the most "valuable" training samples to reduce labeled cost of amount of unlabeled samples. In the paper, we propose an efficient active Bayes classifier by using Affinity Propagation (AP) to select the most valuable samples on the unlabeled data sets. Firstly, the method clusters amount of unlabeled sample data by using AP algorithm. Secondly, through exemplars obtained from the results of cluster and similarity matrix, the method selects the unlabeled samples for experts to label. The method choose two kinds of most valuable instances to label: one is cluster center instance, which also called exemplar instance. Another is the instance which stays in the farthest position to the cluster center in the same cluster, that is, the sample which sets in the nearest position to the cluster boundary. The experiment results on UCI data sets demonstrate that our method is simple and more efficient compared with traditional active learning method. | 2019-04-20T07:27:54Z | https://reference.globalspec.com/ref/2635770/an-efficient-active-bayes-classifier-using-affinity-propagation-on-unlabeled-data |

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more clearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints. Alas, as we get up in life, and are more preoccupied with our affairs, even a holiday is a thing that must be worked for. To hold a pack upon a pack-saddle against a gale out of the freezing north is no high industry, but it is one that serves to occupy and compose the mind. And when the present is so exacting who can annoy himself about the future? | 2019-04-22T02:16:16Z | http://www.datadeluge.com/2016/07/travels-with-donkey-in-cevennes-1888.html |
As many British visitors to France have learnt to their dismay, if you ask a local, “Parlez-vous anglais?”, the answer is often “Non”.
Such a response, perhaps accompanied by a dismissive Gallic shrug, may prompt the appearance on the traveller’s face of what the author PG Wodehouse described as “the shifty hangdog look that announces that an Englishman is about to speak French”.
Britons have never been renowned for their mastery of French — or indeed any other foreign language — but a new ranking shows that our historical rivals and closest neighbours have little to crow about when it comes to their command of English.
The English Proficiency Index, a survey of countries without English as a national language, puts France in 35th place – behind the Philippines, South Korea and Lebanon.
The index, compiled by Education First, a language training company, ranks the French as the worst English speakers in western Europe while Sweden comes out top.
Christian Monlord, a Frenchman and conference interpreter, said the results did not surprise him. “French used to be the language of diplomacy, and it is still a big international language, so many French people still take the attitude that others should speak their language,” said Mr Monlord, 75.
Another reason why the French are lagging behind in learning English may be a feeling that the world’s lingua franca is creeping into daily life in France, threatening the very survival of the language of Voltaire.
English expressions are increasingly used by French speakers, even if their overall level of spoken English may not be good.
Parisians speak the best English in France, according to the survey, but it places the capital 25th among international cities behind Shanghai, Buenos Aires and Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.
Many French people also blame foreign language teaching in schools.
Teachers say they are trying to place more emphasis on conversational English, but they are often limited by a lack of resources, especially in small towns and rural areas.
Damien Gabriel, 29, said children and their parents were also to blame. “I think there are many kids in school who don’t understand how important it is to speak English,” he said.
According to a Eurobarometer report in 2012, 39 per cent of France’s population speak English. Another survey published by the European Commission indicated that 38 per cent of Britons speak a foreign language. | 2019-04-21T06:52:36Z | https://windsorstar.com/news/world/french-people-still-among-the-worst-english-speakers-according-to-index/wcm/f8e647e3-1a01-4973-a6ac-17f0f051a00e |
Breaking up is never an easy thing to do, no matter who you are or where you are.
But breaking up on a television show has to be one of the most brutal ways a relationship can end.
Izzy Vesey and Simon DeBono from Australia were engaged to be married and have been appearing in the latest season of the Aussie reality show Bride & Prejudice.
The programme follows couples planning to wed against the wishes of their family and in this week’s episodes Izzy and Simon’s controversial relationship came crashing down.
The pair, who are a model and a barber respectively, were involved in an open relationship, where they could sleep with other people.
They claim this was due to problems in the past with Simon cheating.
But in order for them to stay together there were some rules in place that they had follow and one of the most important was that they weren’t meant to get involved with former boyfriends or girlfriends.
However it seems Simon wasn’t a massive fan of this rule and had been breaking it for a while.
In heartbreaking scenes one week before their wedding, Izzy discovered that her husband-to-be has been sending very explicit texts to his ex-girlfriend Megan.
“What did I lie to you about?” asks Simon.
Simon then went on to admit that he was still in love with his ex and didn’t want to marry Izzy anymore.
But was he bothered by her words? Not really. He merely responded by saying “that’s wonderful” before walking away.
Furious with his reaction, Izzy storms back to the house and her cast mates watch in horror as she goes into a meltdown.
She screams: “That’s wonderful. That’s WONDERFUL? THAT’S ALL I F***ING GET? THAT’S WONDERFUL?
The camera then shows Simon putting in his headphones and walking off for a midnight stroll.
Shortly after the pair both left the show, with Izzy’s mum Bobbi coming to pick her up – relieved that her daughter is now free from the “devil”.
Following the airing of the emotional episodes, Izzy opened up about the dramatic situation to New Idea.
“There was a lot of stuff that was going on behind the scenes with Simon that I wasn’t privy to and I felt like I was fighting so hard for this relationship and it became apparent that I was the only one fighting for it. | 2019-04-25T11:45:29Z | http://cdn.brada.co/2018/11/13/bride-to-be-furious-after-discovering-fiances-dirty-secret-just-one-week-before-their-wedding/ |
The ash cloud reminds us of the risks of risk aversion. Shutting down Europe's airspace removed the risk of an ash-caused crash, but it also increased all sorts of other risks: the risk of death to a patient because an urgent medical operation might have to be postponed for lack of supplies, the risk of poverty to a Kenyan farm worker because roses could not be flown to European markets, the risk of a collision between ferries on extra night-time sailings in the English Channel. And so on. Risk decisions cannot be taken in isolation. The precautionary principle makes too little allowance for the risks that are run by avoiding risks - the innovations not made, the existing suffering not alleviated. The ash cloud, by reminding us of the risks of not being able to fly planes, is a timely reminder that the risks of global warming must be weighed against the risks of high energy costs - the risks of poverty (cheap energy creates jobs), of hunger (fertiliser costs depend on energy costs), of rainforest destruction and indoor air pollution (expensive electricity makes firewood seem cheaper), of orangutan extinction in subsidised biofuel palm oil plantations.
Oh, and remember the lessons of public choice theory: if you set up a body called the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre, don't be surprised if it over-reacts the first time it gets a chance the demonstrate that it considers itself - as all public bodies always do - underfunded.
...the excitable idea that one volcanic belch has reminded us how small we are reveals what lies behind the contemporary green outlook: a misanthropic view of mankind as a cocky and destructive species which needs to be firmly put back in its place. It is striking that even a natural event which cannot in anyway be described as 'manmade' has unleashed so much nature-dominates-man commentary. This shows that, for all contemporary commentators' claims that they are only interested in communicating the 'scientific facts' about what will happen if we continue distorting and warping the natural world with CO2, in fact they are instinctively drawn to any natural occurrence that can be held up as evidence of Mother Nature's power over deluded mankind. | 2019-04-19T06:47:40Z | http://www.rationaloptimist.com/blog/dilute-till-safe/ |
Progressive Labs Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500mg 60c, the acetyl ester and biologically active form of L-Carnitine, is an effective delivery form for both L-Carnitine and acetyl groups. Essential for normal mitochondrial function in all cells, L-Carnitine's primary function is to transport long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are oxidized to produce energy. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is unique in that it can cross the blood-brain barrier where it facilitates energy production in brain cells. The acetyl group it carries contribute to production of the important neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Research shows Acetyl-L-Carnitine is critical to youthful cellular function in the brain, heart, liver, peripheral nerves and immune system, which makes it extremely important for anti-aging.

All black themes are always well liked by people. It is likely that you like it a lot too but if you find plain black themes so boring, you will probably like this theme with its green streaks similar to leaves being shined on with light. The green colored icons fit well with the theme. | 2019-04-21T18:19:38Z | http://androidlooks.com/theme/t1308-mean-green/ |
Although its population is over 66 million (2013), as of 2015, there were only 2,440 Evangelical churches in the entire country. (Source: http://www.lecnef.org/cartes-et-chiffres).
However, for the first time since the 1950s, French Protestants make up close to 3% of the population (2.70%-3.00%, depending on statistical methodology) and churches are being planted at an increasing rate (a 15.5% increase in the number of churches from 2012-2015)!

The integrated program is the choice for those who want an immediate professional pilot career. This is a complete course to an Airline Transport Pilot Licence.
The aim of the integrated is to train pilots to the proficiency level necessary for the issuance of a commercial pilot licence, multi-engine class rating, and Group 1 instrument rating. Additionally, it will prepare pilots to operate as single pilot in commercial air services, or as co-pilot on multi-crew, multi-engine aircraft in commercial air transportation services depending on the exit point of the program.
The program differs from modular programs by providing a continuous training aimed at achieving the final standards for which the trainee is enrolled. This allows for the early introduction of advanced Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Crew Resource Management (CRM), Multi-Crew Co-operation training (MCC) and Scenario Based Training (SBT) designed to achieve the final standard.
The courses are structured in such a way that one may achieve a Commercial Pilot Licence (A), Commercial Pilot Licence and Multi-Engine Instrument Rating (A/IR), or an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (A) upon completion of the required phases of training.
10-36 months depending on exit phase.
A few notes before you enrol.
The modular program is geared to those simply looking to learn to fly. Be it for an immediate professional pilot career, fun, or adding ratings such as instructing.
Have you completed your commercial pilot license and find it tough to get more hours? Or simply looking for new skills and challenges. Getting your instructor rating will help you add hours to your log book for future endeavours, while gaining new insight into flight by teaching others.
Ground school is good for those looking to learn something new. Or those with a genuine career need for the knowledge. Contact us to signup or more details. Check out the Students portal for current schedules. | 2019-04-25T03:44:30Z | https://torontoairways.com/training/ |

The CDC reported this week that five cases of H. flu invasive disease have appeared in children in Minnesota. There have been no reports of similar disease in Massachusetts thus far.
One of the five children reported to the Minnesota Department of Health with invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease died. Only one of the children had completed the primary Hib immunization series; three had received no doses of Hib-containing vaccine, according to the CDC. “The five Hib cases are the largest number among children aged <5 years reported from Minnesota since 1992. The cases occurred during a Hib vaccine recall and continuing nationwide shortage that began in December 2007," said the CDC.
An American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) alert on the same date reminds pediatricians and family practitioners that it is “critically important” for all infants to complete the primary three dose series of a Hib-containing vaccine on schedule.
“Given the vaccine shortage, prolonged booster deferral, and reduced compliance with the primary series coverage, the increase in the number of Hib cases in Minnesota likely reflects a weakening of herd immunity — that is, the percentage of immunized children in the population has dropped below a certain critical level,” said the AAP.
Prior to widespread Hib vaccination, H. Influenzae b was a frequent cause of bacterial meningitis and epiglottitis in infants and young children.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has also distributed an alert, reminding practitioners to vaccinate infants against H. influenza. Providers who do not have adequate supplies of Hib containing vaccine to support a 3-dose series for healthy children (or 4 doses for high risk children) should contact the Mass. DPH vaccine unit immediately at 617-983-6828 .

It was great to see a fairly balanced women/men ratio in the eddy. I managed to get a few snaps of the ladies too!
I am finally getting fairly consistent with my back stab. I think i nailed 3 or 4 in my session. Now if only I can get my blunt; 2 years in trying. What an epic day at Hurley. Huge holler out to all the wonderful people I met in the eddy for making the day so much fun!

Applications for a Disabled Persons Parking Space (DPPS) would only be considered if there is no available space within the boundary of the property.
A parking survey involving several visits (at least 4) during different days of the week and different times of the day is required to assess the parking level within 25 metres either side of the applicant's property. If the parking level were high, on average, across these visits then a space on the highway could be recommended.
The applicant has the use of accessible off street facilities, either a drive or garage for example, either on their property or within the relevant 25 metre distance.
The property is not owner occupied and is rented unless the approval is obtained in writing from the property owner or landlord.
Its introduction would likely cause an obstruction of the highway.
Any double white centre lines are present.
Any double or single yellow lines along the kerb line are present.
Access difficulties may be caused to nearby residents.
The road is narrow (a disabled parking space on the highway must be minimum of 2.7m wide and 6.6m long).
The location is on a bend, opposite a junction or brow of a hill.
The gradient of the road is too steep.
The council's policy also requires that for a DPPS to be considered that the applicant be severely disabled, unable to walk unaided or at all. This is to be confirmed by the production of a doctor's letter. The doctor's letter would only be required if all the above conditions are met.
If introduced the parking space would not be for your exclusive use and any resident with a blue badge could use it.
Please make your application in writing and email to [email protected] or by letter to: Parking Services, Traffic Management, Guildhall, Swansea, SA1 4PE.
Please note: we currently have no budget available for schemes of this nature and this request would have to be held on file until the necessary funding became available. | 2019-04-20T21:10:07Z | https://www.swansea.gov.uk/disabledparkingspaces |

What Impact Will a 9% Drop in Profits Have On Your Organization?
Unless your Supply Management organization takes it to the next level, your company is facing a 9% drop in corporate profits this year due to rising prices and other inflationary pressure according to a recent Hackett Group study. For a typical Global 1000 company with 27.8 billion in revenue, Hackett’s study estimated that commodity and offshore labor inflation will drive a 150 million per year hit to the bottom line. Ouch!
Why? While most companies are now able to effectively anticipate commodity price increases, more than 60% of companies surveyed by Hackett in the recent study have not been successful at mitigating these cost increases. The reality is that few executives have experienced significant inflation, which is now at levels not seen in 30 years (when inflation rates hovered around 13% back in 1981).
And while inflation may not yet be at 13%, it is bad. Not only do respondents to the Hackett study expect the rate of inflation for commodities overall to rise by more than 30%, to 6.3% a year, but commodity price volatility has increased nearly 60% since before the recession. Making matters worse, at the same time, due to the talent crunch, the rate for internal labor is expected to more than triple from 0.7% to 2.2% and the rate of inflation for external labor is expected to more than double from 1.2% to 3%.

Regular readers of SI will know the importance of good should-cost modeling (which is also great for negotiations) as well as good market intelligence (which has dimensions and is valuable in a down economy) in cost reduction and avoidance. And while both should-cost modelling and market intelligence have a number of critical requirements that must be met for success, they both have one key requirement in common — good data. But where do you get good data? Certainly not from supplier bids! A new supplier is going to bid what it thinks it can get, not what the actual price is. Market indices from governments and professional associations? Better, but they will typically be at least a month or so behind. Trade associations that track and monitor prices on a daily basis or stock markets that trade the commodity? Great — but do you have the IT skills to integrate the feeds? And are you going to do it for the dozens of raw materials and commodities you need to build your should cost models?
To help their clients understand the data, Mintec provides a data analysis package, called Datagain, which can be used to import, graph, analyze, and compare different line items (such as the petrol price in the UK and the petrol price in Australia, normalized to US dollars). A user can graph any set of series, against any frequency, using any (currency and unit) converions, for any date range she chooses. She can also normalize or index this data using a custom formula, factor in seasonality, and plot trends. She can also break the series down across two or four graphs and/or plot specific subseries, against different projections, to see how the price might trend over time under different assumptions. The normalization / indexing equations can use all of the standard algebraic operators and be defined over any set of variables, including user defined variables, that the user chooses.
If the user is not sophisticated at trend analysis, or does not want to do it, Mintec also offers Benchmarking and Market (Intelligence) Report services that do a deep dive into a particular raw material, commodity, or service that discuss recent, current, and projected pricing subject to the state of the market and the dominant factors at play. These, by request, reports complement the monthly market reports and commodity fact sheets that track the major commodities and markets and their relative month-over-month changes for buyers who want to look at the bigger picture. If the user wants to learn more about Datagain, analysis, and should-cost modeling, Mintec also provides on-demand out-of-the-box and customized training sessions as well as quarterly newsletters and occasional articles.
It’s a huge amount of data, that comes at a very low price point. Most customers pay less than 100K £s for access to the data they need, when they need it, updated as often as they like. Moreover, medium-sized business can get basic access (to the datafeeds) and access to the desktop Datagain tool for as little as 10K £s a year. Large enterprises will probably want the on-line hosted applet version (at the higher price-point) that runs through the browser on a hosted database that is accessible anywhere, anytime, and always up to date. While it is more expensive, it’s still cheap compared to what the organization will be paying for their ERP solution (and much more valuable from a cost avoidance perspective).

TMS Requires 100 Million, Does ERP Require 1 Billion?
Ben Pivar, Vice President and North American Supply Chain Lead for Capgemini regarding Transportation Management Systems (TMS) Pivar says that the economics of installing a TMS package on a client server, for example, doesn’t really work until you have nearly $100 million in freight spend and that’s why on-demand is so popular in that space.
SI has to agree. Unless a firm has tens of millions in freight spend, the costs of installation, maintenance, and usage tend to dwarf the benefits of using a TMS system. However, what’s even more important to note is that enterprise ERP (from a top vendor) is, on average, at least five, if not (usually) ten times, more expensive to install, integrate, maintain, and use than TMS. This would seem to indicate that the economics of traditional ERP don’t make sense unless your company has 1 Billion in spend, or at least 1 Billion in revenue. In other words, unless you’re a member of the Fortune 2000 or Global 3000, traditional end-to-end on-premise enterprise ERP is probably not for you. And it would appear that Oracle, one of the largest players, tends to agree. Why do you think it has advertisements stating it has 98% of the Fortune 500? It’s not just because the Fortune X, it’s target market, provide it with its biggest deals. It’s because Oracle also understands that unless a company has reached a critical mass, given the cost of the system, the company won’t get the advertised return (which is a key to keeping the company as a high-paying customer year after year).
However, every organization needs a good transaction store and data repository as analysis is key to supply management success. So what does this mean if you’re not one of the lucky ones? Don’t look at a a tradtional on-premise end-to-end ERP from a big boy. Look at either a newer, smaller, slimmed down offering from a smaller player, possibly based on an open-source solution (like Compiere), a suite from a provider that maintains its own transaction store, or a newer, slimmed down, SaaS offering from a traditional provider that can integrate with some BoB solutions in the cloud and offer an effective hybrid solution. Just don’t go for the billion-dollar solution, because your organization likely won’t get a return from the millions it will cost.

As per yesterday’s post, it’s been less than five months since we last checked in with Trade Extensions, who had traded up to a Fact Sheet User Interface and added a slew of new features, including improved RFI support, multi-dimensional rankings in e-Negotiation, Google Earth integration, new incumbent rules, and an OLAP foundation to reporting, including the implementation of a new n-way comparison report. Since then, Trade Extensions has been on a tear to add new functionality as fast as it can to make the platform not only one of the most powerful expressive bidding optimization platforms on the planet, but also one of the easiest to use — listening to its users (which include the Fortune 1000) and adding features and functions that make an average buyer’s life easier, taking usability to a whole new level yet again. And while earth-shattering technology improvements are cool, it is usability that is the ultimate key to to adoption, use, and, ultimately, cost avoidance and reduction in your sourcing organization.
Not only are there new rules that allow partial awards to be fixed based upon existing scenarios, but the number of constraint categories has doubled. While there were only general and incumbent constraints in the past, there are now an entire category of scenario reference rules and post processing rules. With respect to scenario reference rules, not only can allocations be kept, but bids can be favoured or penalized as well. The post-processing rules are also quite useful. Allocations can automatically be rounded and allocations that don’t meet a minimum number of units can be removed (or re-assigned to the supplier who meets a minimum allocation with the lowest total cost).
The buyer now has fine-grained control over what the supplier sees, and can even mix feedback types. For example, if the buyer only wants the top three suppliers to know they are top three, but suppliers four to six to know their exact rank, they can specify that specific rank starts at bidder four, and the top bidders default to “top 3”. In addition, if the supplier does not meet a minimum bid increment, which can be defined in a number of ways (including, minimum dollar or % decrease over last bid), the supplier gets a nice red error that the bid is not acceptable AND a message indicating the minimum increment required. Finally, and this is really cool, the user can define custom color-coded bid feedback fields based on dynamic formulas that now only let the user know where they rank, but how competitive their bid is (against the current bids from the competition) in English using a buyer defined scale such as “Competitive”, “Slightly Competitive”, “Not Competitive”, and “Not Acceptable”.
Plus, the buyer can now chat with users online in an integrated IM client, and immediately see who is online when they log in as it is a widget on their project management dashboard.
The “dashboards” for RFX and auction phases have also improved. The summary, bidder summary, and lot summary are now completely customizeable by the user, support custom fields, and user-defined colour codings in the rankings. In addition, there is integrated show/hide, drill-down functionality, and customizeable pop-up (bid, trend, and bidder activity) charts where a user can select one, some, or all of the rows in each report.
All and all, it’s a lot of new functionality in a short time frame that makes the tool extremely useable by an average buyer.

Traditionally we celebrated the Oktoberfest 2015 in the tent of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Like always, it was a great fun! This year we had got friends from Frankfurt as visitors here – all of them are heavy fans of our Eintracht!!!
Gimmick of the this years Oktoberfest was that our good old friends, the Oktoberfestband Kirchdorfer gathered for us for a photo. Certainly we gave them the Eintracht Frankfurt flag in their hand as well. As the bandleader Thomas S. Wohlschläger realized what’s going on he just replied very dry: “Grenzwertig!” (It’s on the borderline …) The band asked us also to make pictures without the flag and as a courtesy to our friends we also would like to publish some.
Next year we will certainly celebrate in our hangout again! We are looking forward to see our Frankfurter friends again and of course to enjoy the fantastic Kirchdorfer’s show!
ps: We love the Oktoberfest but never ever the FC Bayern München!

Do you want to know how to start a PT business? If so then thereâs a few things you need to take into consideration. Obviously the first step you will need to move forward is gaining your certificate 3 and 4 in personal training, but itâs what happens both before and after you finish your certification that is most important.
Most RTOs simply donât teach you how to set up a personal training business. They teach you about movement, nutrition, muscle groups and how to train clients, but business systems, marketing, sales and even people skills is seriously lacking in their training of PTs entering into the business world.
Itâs not too dissimilar to a conveyor belt, churning out personal trainers with no real knowledge on how they are going to succeed once they are out in the market place.
In actual fact, if you are looking at how to set up a pt business for success, the planning stages should actually start well before you have finished your qualifications. At least a month out you want to be prepared and ready to hit the ground running so when you do finish, you are ready to go.
Some of the things you need to look at before even finishing your qualifications should be setting up things such as your business name and company registration, your business logo and what type of training model you are planning to implement into your business.
Once you have these things set up, you can then move onto the next stage which would be to set up your online presence. Even if you plan on working out of a gym to start with, you should always be looking at branding yourself and your business, rather than relying on a gym. If you want to know how to set up a PT studio once you leave a gym, the best advice would be to build your brand first so you have an asset you can rebrand into a PT studio.
One of the biggest mistakes a PT can make when learning how to set up a PT business is not branding themselves and their business from day 1. So setting up your social media sites such as a Facebook page, an Instagram account, Youtube channel and website are all essential in branding yourself online and giving people a chance to find and follow you.
The next thing you will need to consider is how to set up PT business systems. The vast majority of PTs when they start training clients, start out by using and tracking their clients with software such as an excel spreadsheet and Google calendars.
In regards to invoicing and accounting, this is usually done through Microsoft Word. This is an extremely messy and unprofessional way to approach your business and one that will waste you a lot of time as you continue your business.
My advice would be to look into a client management software from the beginning. There are many out in the market place such as Client Connect and PT Minder to name just a few. This helps you track all of your clients in the one place, do all your invoicing and tax, scheduling your classes, track the progress of your clients such as their measurements and results etc. which can all be graphed and shared with your clients so they can see the results and improvements they are making.
This also adds a higher level of professionalism to you as a personal trainer as you will be able to offer a better service.
Finally, the real thing you will need to learn if you want to set up a personal training business for success is to get business education. This means mentoring from someone who has been there and knows how to set up pt business systems. This includes crucial things such as marketing, sales, retention and referrals.
Without the knowledge of how to get people through the door, then how to hold onto them and increase the value per client, your business is going to struggle and will ultimately fail. When PTs enter the market place, most of the time they are unaware how competitive the industry is.
Get your business systems in order before day 1 and start understanding how to generate leads. If you need assistance on gaining this education, then there is no better starting place than PT Business Coaches. The Inner Circle Membership offered by PT business coaches is a 12 month program which teaches you everything you need to know about how to set up a personal training business, how to set up PT business systems as well as the key skills of marketing, sales, social media and business growth.

Check out the Charleston Parks Conservancy's newest glow-up project at their inaugural Hampton Park culinary event, Shucked + Sauced, Sat. Jan. 26 from 1 to 4 p.m.
The event will take place at the newly renovated Rose Pavilion, a previously unused concession stand that has been "re-envisioned and refurbished through the collaborative efforts of the Charleston Parks Conservancy and the City of Charleston." This space will serve as a gathering spot for community events and park programs.
Conventional wisdom says that oysters are best enjoyed during those months containing the letter "r," making September through April prime oyster season.
Shucked + Sauced was curated by chef Mike Lata of FIG and The Ordinary and will feature bites from The Ordinary, Nico, 167 Raw, Chubby Fish, Rodney Scott's BBQ, Lewis Barbecue, and The Obstinate Daughter in addition to local oysters from Lowcountry Oyster Co., Clammer Dave, Barrier Island Oyster Co., and Lady's Island Oysters. There will be wine, and beer from Holy City Brewing Co., plus beachy Lowcountry tunes from Dallas Baker and Friends.
Lata said in a press release, "This event connects two of my favorite things: oysters and Charleston. Having been here for 20 years, I've seen many changes in Charleston. As the city has grown, development has put a lot of stress on the fishing community. Our local oyster farmers are helping to revitalize our working waterfront, just as the Parks Conservancy works to rejuvenate and preserve our city's public green spaces."
Tickets are $85 and include all food and beverages. All proceeds from this event support the Conservancy and their work renovating and beautifying public parks and green spaces.

I once had a dog named Bear. He was a bit of a goofball. As with many dogs, he would eat almost anything. However, he developed a particular liking for the flavor of whipped cream. We bought the kind that was pressurized and thus made a particular sound when squirted from the can -- compressed air volumizing the whipped cream, making it fluffy.
One time a few months after Bear discovered his love of whipped cream, my mom left the door open when shaving her legs. Bear was in a room nearby, and when my mom started squirting shaving cream from the can, which produced that familiar sound, he came running in and started licking the shaving cream right off her legs.
Habit learning can be summarized as the “acquisition of associations between stimuli and responses;” that is, our brains learning to associate causes and effects, enhancing certain neural pathways. To simplify things, let’s just say the brain builds “roads” between various memories, and the more these roads are travelled the easier they become to travel. The more you think something, the easier it is to think it again.6 This happens regardless of why you thought something or if it is correct or incorrect. For instance, being in a bad mood can cause us to have different morals than we’d have when in a good mood.7 From the “bad mood” nodes of our brain, the easiest roads to travel are often those with “bad” morals.
Furthermore, once these paths are created, our subconscious travels them whether we like it or not. They may even form new paths without us knowing -- shortcuts to feelings whose origins are then forgotten, the result of countless choices that we made sometime in the past.8 (I once had a friend who trimmed her nails to calm herself down. She picked up the habit by being calm, then trimming her nails). Even our emotions can manifest as these “unconscious habits.” 9 Let me say that again: our emotions can be habits whose origins we’ve forgotten.
Negative habits can compound themselves by leading to other negative habits, and pretty soon, you’re on a downward spiral with no roads out (literally -- as long as “road” is synonymous with “neural pathway,” of course). When most of your thoughts are negative, you might exhibit symptoms of depression. When most of your thoughts are fearful, you might exhibit symptoms of anxiety.
Replacing the destination of a well-traveled road can be effective as well (we might call this the “bait and switch”).14 For instance, one of the reasons video games are so appealing is because they provide social interaction combined with a challenge. These are both legitimate psychological needs, but it might be that video games aren’t satisfying anymore. We can’t simply replace them with reading a book -- reading isn’t typically either social or challenging -- but we might replace it with a sport. When your brain feels the need for a challenging social activity, it will think video games. But before long, you can have it thinking soccer, and all the associated thoughts along with your new favorite sport.
Habits are both physical as well as mental. Our brain learns from what we think -- consciously or subconsciously -- but we can build new roads for it to travel. Roads that lead to positive thought.
Just don’t get confused between the whipped cream and the shaving cream.

Back in 2002 when Grandstream was founded, we were one of the first companies in the world to manufacture SIP products – and one of the very first products we made were analog telephone adapters (ATAs). We now have over 15 years of expertise building SIP devices, and we have more experience building VoIP gateways and ATAs than almost any one in the world. Thanks to close relationships with service providers and partners, all of our ATAs and Gateways are not only thoroughly tested within Grandstream, but they are stringently tested with the help from some of the largest service providers in the world.

The internet is like a very crowded Los Angeles highway, but instead of being full of cars, it’s full of information. Due to crowding, this information needs guidance to ensure that it gets where it’s going.

IKEA has been started selling home batteries through its home warehouses in the UK. For this purpose, the company associates with Solarcentury, UK’s biggest solar supplier.
PowerWindows can be integrated with SmartWindows.
This is a real PowerWindow Breakthrough. A new generation transparent solar energy generating windows will provide enough power to make buildings energy neutral. The founders: startup Physee settled in Delft (the Netherlands).
The powerwindows have solar cells installed in the edges at a specific angle that allows the incoming solar light to be efficiently transformed into electricity.
With SmartWindow we integrate smart sensors in the window that sense the outside environment. SmartWindows control inside systems, such as Airconditioning and sun blinds, based on information about the outside conditions around the building.
The 2D Perovskite Solar Cell exceeds expectations for solar cell efficiency.
A 2D, layered form of the crystalline material perovskite has become the focus of much excitement in the solar cell research field at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA).
The research team intends to lower the integral costs of PV-modules, by developing a worldwide unique AAA-class In-Line steady state solar simulator (ILSS) prototype for the PV-industry that is validated on criteria for test speed (5 modules/minute), test accuracy, heat development, maintenance and lamp replacement costs.
Why do we need an automated test-measurement system for Solar modules? PV-module manufacturers require automated inline testing equipment that provide accurate information about PV-module performance with industrial robustness and low testing cost per module. | 2019-04-23T21:00:52Z | https://www.betterworldsolutions.eu/tag/pv/ |
I believe that humans transferring their minds to digital form is inevitable. In fact, I think it’s precisely the way in which we as a species will achieve immortality.
That’s interesting, of course, but what may be more intriguing is the problem that will come from it. The issue is that once we are digital it will be nearly effortless to replicate us.
Neal Stephenson recently said that games like World of Warcraft are the future of the Metaverse he described. And WoW is a good model for my point as well.
When identities are digital there must be strict, centralized control over that digital reality. Blizzard is God in WoW, as would be expected. They have the power to populate Frostmane with nothing but thousands upon thousands of your character.
Us becoming digitized is inevitable, and as a result we will have to face that problem just as Blizzard has. The question is — who will be our Blizzard? What controlling entity will ensure that there is only one of you in this world? Computer glitches could result in millions of you, or perhaps four — some of which are earlier versions.
If you think the government controls too much of your life now — or that corporations have too much influence over our day-to-day lives today — consider that it will be one of these entities (or some combination thereof) that will control every aspect of who we are: we’ll look like to others, where we can go, what abilities we have, etc.
And while this will be very different than our world today, there will still be corruption and influence from the rich. I cannot help but imagine that corruption in this world will mean the rich will be able to teleport and shoot lighting from their hands, while the poor will have to use public transportation and wait in line at Safeway.
Imagine all the advantages that rich and powerful humans have in this world, and compound them to the limits of our imaginations. Sexual harems, mind control, the ability to take a Google Earth tour by flying like Superman, etc. — these will all be possible inside this other reality. And just as now these things will be restricted and metered out to the masses while being common among the elites. | 2019-04-24T21:02:03Z | https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-individual-problem/ |

The words alcohol and America don’t sit comfortably together in my mind. Understandably, since my father fell hard to alcoholism while living his last years in a kooky town on the Californian coast, which had only one way in, and one way out… He was also addicted to prescription drugs, which he bought by the ton-load over the Internet.
But there is another connection between the US and alcohol in my psyche: an American gave me my first alcoholic drink. I was four years old. She was a neighbour, and had a birthday party for her daughter; having recently moved from the States, she got her Apple Juice and Apple Cider mixed up. When my mum came to pick me up some hours later, I was lying beneath the living room table: I staggered home along the pavement, my fairy wings bent.
These are two defining moments: I won’t go back to California after the hellish week my brother and I spent trying to get my father into a rehabilitation centre, after the nightmare of negotiating his medical bills after the fourth or fifth overdose; and one could argue that the said American introducing me to alcohol gave me a taste, which I abused somewhat through my adolescence and 20s… But these are both other stories. Though the two events popped up in my mind last night after a conversation I had at a dinner party at the weekend. It was about the Little Angel Marionette Theatre’s production of the ‘Very Old Man with Enormous Wings’. The comment was made by an American mother at my daughter’s school who had taken her son to the performance, but had been shocked at what she saw were ‘inappropriate’ scenes that involved copious drinking. I should add here that the Little Angel Marionette Theatre is a puppet theatre, and is primarily a family venue, though some performances are more grown-up than others. This one welcomed a minimum age of six.
The moral is that the village turns into a money-making tourist trap and everyone becomes corrupted, even the priest who turns to cocktails and ends up getting jiggy with the village woman (please keep in mind that they are puppets, so you wouldn’t call this explicit). I was a bit sleepy at this point and lulled by the dark auditorium, put my head back and had a little snooze. So when American mother questioned me about the scene my response was to dismiss it: ‘Oh, it would have gone straight over my daughter’s head.’ But it did get me thinking, particularly as I have witnessed the destruction of alcohol first hand. On going home I read Marquez’s story and saw that the production company had changed the setting from Marquez’s Spain to a British seaside town, and that the boozy bit was also an addition. Who, after all, would hang out in a British seaside town without a bit of booze and brawl?
I walked away from the dinner party thinking it was important that I acknowledge the possible insidious affects of this kind of performance on the tender mind of my young daughter, but I was also sorry that it took away from the overall magic of the story. The puppets were sublime, particularly that of the old man. What a beautiful ending when he finally stretches his wings and reaches out to the sky, and escapes the community who had judged him, used him, and kept him caged.

I was shocked when I went to university at the blatant advertising of drink, and getting drunk, from freshers’ week to discounted nights in the Union. It’s like, university prepares you for life, work, fending for yourself, supposedly, but does it also prepare you for going out every night with your mates and drinking tons of beers and being the last man standing? I didn’t even question it till my dad fell ill, then I had a totally different perspective on what I had spent the past 15 odd years of my life doing – basically getting drunk.

[AUTO](RC):[Counter Blast (1) & Put this unit into your soul] During your opponent's end phase, when an opponent's locked card is unlocked, if you have a «Link Joker» vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, lock that unit.
...personally, this card is just annoying to go against regardless of whom the Link Joker's final ace is. The fact that Palladium here is made to keep that disruption factor that the Lock effect really has on the opponent by keeping it locked and either severely weakening attacks or even preventing them from ever happening to begin with at the cost of himself. Now, it would be bad if it was just retired and you'd never see it again, but I personally see this as beneficiary as possible by it going into the Soul as Chaos Breaker Dragon will have more Soul food to eat when you want to start killing things and begin drawing more cards and just plus sing in general.
There are two major drawbacks to Palladium however. One is that you have to be able to actually Lock something to begin with, and if you are unsuccessful at Break Riding with Infinite-Zero Dragon, then it'll cost you even more Counterblast to even get the Lock to begin with let alone retaining it. The other drawback is that you end up losing Palladium by it going into the Soul and losing a 7,000 power supporter, but seeing how he's able to potentially stop a single attack from even happening singlehandedly is just phenomenal and worth the loss especially if you can reinforce it when the spot is open anyway.
Palladium is made to be more of a defensive card with offensive stats, so while others sleep on this card *looks down*, I personally am keeping an eye out against this card.
Next Time: While it's not from Set 13, it's still a Grade 1/7,000 Power that I believe that this card deserves a lot of acknowledgement!
4th card of the week is Link Joker's newest troll card, Palladium. When a unit unlocks during the End Phase, you Counterblast 1 and move him from RG to the soul to lock it again.
Hooray, finally I can talk about this card in more detail than the others. Firstly, this card is pretty neat in Chaos Breaker Dragon decks. His uses are fairly extensive, with the most obvious being he fuels the soul for Chaos Breaker's Limit Break. He can also shut down a front row and thus a whole column for another turn without Chaos needing to commit anything else from the hand. Especially if you have a better booster and need to sack it away nice and neatly.
He's also good for when you are stuck riding Chaos on turn 3 and you're reduced to playing the stall game until you can Chaos Retire away their units. However, if your actual gambit of Chaos Breaker over Infinite Zero works, Palladium's pretty redundant, unless you absolutely need one of their columns re-locked for any reason, since locking generally isn't as good as retiring in terms of long-term benefits.
The fact he now has Colony Maker to search him helps too. I'd run him, if only because to give Chaos more shots at retiring and also because Link Joker has plenty of 7k boosters to play with. | 2019-04-19T23:08:11Z | https://www.pojo.com/cardfightvanguard/cotd/2014/May/29.shtml |

+/// \brief Defines the synch scope ABI for OpenCL.
> > > Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you don't get to define the "ABI for OpenCL" any more than I get to define the "ABI for C". You're defining the ABI for your specific OpenCL implementation, but Clang might reasonably support other implementations with their own ABIs. So this name is inappropriate.
> > > Now, if I understand how SPIR works, SPIR does require some sort of stable lowering of these atomic operations in order to ensure that the resulting LLVM IR can be ingested into an arbitrary implementation. (Ot at least that was true prior to SPIR V?) Therefore, SPIR needs to specify a lowering for these atomic operations, and that probably includes ABI values for specific sync-scopes. But the appropriate name for that would be the "SPIR ABI", not the "OpenCL ABI". And, of course, you would need to be sure that you're implementing the lowering that SPIR actually wants.
> > The ABI is not intended for a specific OpenCL implementation, but for extending to other languages. For example, we have a downstream C++ based language called HCC, which may support atomic scope with an ABI different than OpenCL atomic scope ABI.
> By "ABI" you mean that it might present a different model of synchronization scopes to the source language? Okay, that's great, and it explains a lot of things that were very murky about some of our previous conversations.
> - They don't need to be in the __builtin_opencl namespace.
> - They *do* need to be enabled only in language modes with well-defined sync-scope models, which for now just means OpenCL.
> - The language mode's sync-scope model should determine everything about the scope argument, including its type. Sema-level validation requires first determining the language's sync-scope model.
> - There is no meaningful way to "default" the scope argument on the non-scoped builtins the way that we are now. Instead, the scope argument should only exist for the scoped builtins.
> Alternatively, if you potentially want the opencl-model builtins to be usable from non-opencl languages, the right design is for HCC to use its own set of builtins with their own type-checking rules.
> In either case, I don't think it's a good idea to call this "ABI", which is associated too strongly with target-lowering concepts. You're really talking about a source-language concept.
We could introduce __builtin_hcc_atomic_* in downstream HCC.
We need a generic approach to represent atomic scope values for different languages and associated semantic/codegen needs, and AtomicScopeABI seems generic enough to serve the purpose. It has interface for semantic checking (isValid), and the interface to map to LLVM sync scope for both constant and variable arguments. If the name is not proper, we could rename it to just `AtomicScope`.
I can remove the default atomic scope for atomic expressions without scope originally. For them I just emit LLVM atomic instructions with default LLVM synch scope. | 2019-04-26T02:41:38Z | http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20170814/201068.html |
Weird Religion is a podcast for people who think religion is weird but love it anyway. Your hosts, Leah Payne and Brian Doak, are both professors, authors, and pop culture aficionados, whose interests range from archaeology and history and linguistics to LARPing and The Walking Dead. Episodes tackle some piece of media highlighting the wonderful weirdness of religious experience—a documentary, a television show, a Twitter scandal—and use that as a "thread" on which to hang reflections on a wide variety of topics. Cults. The perils of fame within the evangelical world. Church attendance. Atheism. Gamer communities. Millennials and avocado toast. It's all here. | 2019-04-23T16:36:21Z | https://play.google.com/music/m/I6ugltw3ukx6tg3l4fdlb76zauy?t=Weird_Religion&pcampaignid=MKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16 |
For most of 2018 the Children at Play Network has been working with staff from New Directions Housing Corporation and ChooseWell Communities. The goal remains simple – provide all children with amazing opportunities to engage in free play in the outdoors. That is more complex than first meets the eye. The following is a reflection from two people engaged in our first Seeds for Urban Play project.
Last winter we embarked on an incredible new adventure with the Children at Play Network, Bernheim Forest, and Choosewell Communities to bring free play to our residents. New Directions Housing Corporation provides affordable housing to over 1,000 families in the Louisville metro area, and not only houses many kids but also provides an afterschool and summer camp at many of our properties. This partnership was a perfect opportunity for us to train our staff and start implementing enriching programming through free play at our apartment communities.
The overall process of first learning what free play was, what it takes to have one, how to participate, and what is required was amazing. After our training, we couldn’t wait to get started and share these experiences with our resident families. On September 22, we were able to see first hand what free play looks like up close. Participating in free play as a facilitator, gave us the opportunity to observe, let the children run wild with their imagination and be creative, guide and let them lead. Overall it had a positive outcome on our children and youth; it gave them the opportunity to have control of something and not feeling like it has to be corrected; but the feeling that they are in lead.
The dynamics of what free play consists of, how it happens, and the outcome and the participation of the community and children was an eye opener. The children jumped right in and immediately engaged with the loose parts and each other. In the role of facilitator, we extricated ourselves so that the children had ownership over the process and their own play, which was difficult to do at times. It’s not a form of play that most of us are used to facilitating. However, once we were able to release our own management of the play, we were able to see the depth of each child’s engagement. For instance, they didn’t run from one activity to the next, they stayed with what they were working on until they decided it was complete.
As adults and parents, it can be difficult to remove yourself from directing the play. But we are confident that with a little practice, it will come more naturally. This experience was truly rewarding and we are looking forward to our next free play day to further expand upon our training.

No warning letters were posted this week due to the partial government shutdown. However, there was one warning letter that posted elsewhere that focused on aseptic processing and data integrity.
Poor aseptic behavior including failure to log interventions in the batch records; use of gloves from non-integral packaging where foreign particles were evident; inadequate cleanroom design.
Personnel monitoring is inadequate because staff sanitized their hands prior to sampling, and failure to trigger an investigation when staff in the ISO 5 cabinet has one CFU/glove on a repeated basis.
Cleaning program is inadequate because steps were skipped, not performed properly and some equipment was not sanitized.
The firm did not perform impurity testing during stability on two products since 2016. At the time of the inspection, the firm did not have a validated method. | 2019-04-18T10:41:37Z | https://blog.fdazilla.com/2019/01/pharma-medical-devices-week-of-january-6th-2019-fda-sent-these-warning-letters-to-pharma-device-companies/ |

Many can claim to have the best pizza, and truly it’s all in the tastebuds of the beholder. However few can claim to have unbleached and unbromated flour, which is good to know since bleach and bromated flour have been linked to serious illnesses.
The difference at Blocks Pizza is the use of “mother dough” and in a way this dough has a life of its own, because it is leavened naturally for 48 to 72 hours. Owner Eugene Vittoni works the dough every few days, with flour and water to keep it fresh. Due to the leavening process time, you don’t have that bloated feeling and it’s easily digestible; in addition they support local farms so ingredients are all fresh. In fact they pride themselves on having no freezer or adding preservatives to their food.
We tried the pizza and it was just as advertised, it tasted fresh and no bloating or stuffy feeling afterwards.
At Blocks Pizza, slices are sold in blocks or rectangles which are then divided into 4 equal parts. Prices range from $3.00 to $5.00 per block, depending on the toppings. Other notable differences include their infused garlic, rosemary, jalapeño or plain olive oils; which they offer instead of your typical shredded parmesan, spices of oregano or chile.
We did not get a chance to try their calzones or their pizza pockets, but they have been trending on social media and certain they are worth a try.
Note: Depending on the time or day, parking may be a little difficult so go at a leisurely pace.

Dental Check-Ups in Arlington Heights | Gilbert X. Mendez, D.D.S.
The first dental check-up with Dr. Mendez involves a discussion about your medical history, during which you will need to explain any dental and medical conditions you suffer from. Also, the dentist may ask about your diet, supplements you take on a normal basis, and any medications.
Once the examination is complete, Dr. Mendez presents you the results, and you decide the next steps. If cavities are discovered, the dentist will suggest fillings or crowns, if there are missing teeth, they may suggest bridges or implants, and if there are infections, they will prescribe you antibiotics to reduce the infection before treatment. If there are no dental problems, the dentist may proceed to a professional dental cleaning where the plaque and tartar build-up are removed to minimize cavity occurrence and increase teeth’s aesthetics.
Dental check-ups are best done every six months. Six months is the average time span between two check-ups, but depending on your dental health Dr. Mendez may increase or decrease the number of annual check-ups. For example, if your teeth and gums are in good condition, and there is no significant plaque build-up in-between visits the dentist may agree to one annual check-up. | 2019-04-24T22:43:08Z | https://www.drmendezsmiles.com/services/check-ups/ |
Free Webinar: How Can Insurance Exchanges Strategically Approach the Selection and Management of Qualified Health Plans?
Contracting with issuers to offer qualified health plans (QHPs) is one of the most important opportunities that Exchanges have to affect health care reform in their states. Unlike many start-up tasks, certifying, re-certifying, de-certifying and managing the relationship over time with health plans is an ongoing and evolving set of tasks. Therefore, Exchanges should take a strategic approach to these functions. A free webinar, sponsored by the State Network, on Thursday, February 14, 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET, will look at the many of the types of decisions that Exchanges should consider in preparing to launch a clean, effective QHP solicitation process; the standards that Exchanges can use to certify QHPs; and what are options for “negotiating” key elements of the issuers’ proposals. More information and online registration is available here.
How is California reforming its health care delivery system and what can other states learn from those efforts? A free webinar, co-sponsored by AcademyHealth and the Center for the Study of Social Policy, on Wednesday, February 13, from 2:00-3:15 p.m. ET, will present efforts in California at state and local levels to enroll newly eligible individuals as well as to reform the delivery system to accommodate this population. Through these discussions experts will deliver an overview of efforts in California and provide implications for other states.

Its a street photowalk session by PHOTOKS group with the theme “Create a Story inside a Picture”. The walk were started at Central Market KL. Its a shiny day with a beauty sunlight in the morning. For the first session they give a talk how to play with the light and shadow.
The group also give a sharing session about the framing. Its a simple framing about the subject and the background with a story inside. Its a good day with the good natural light that can create a feel and mood inside the picture.
But in the afternoon, there was raining during the street walk session. We take the opportunity to take a challenge to shoot in the raining. Its a nice session with a lot of info that we can take from it. And for sure its a lot of fun when we take a picture in the raining.
Its a good session with a theory and practical during the photowalk. | 2019-04-18T17:36:19Z | https://photopaper.my/2015/11/photoks-street-photowalk/ |
