Luckily, it seemed to work this week and Emma made it through the treatment without any reactions this weekwork so Emma can continue with this treatment regimen. It ended up taking 9 hours on Tuesday to get the treatment done, but it worked! So i guess we have some long days at infusion ahead of us.
The stay at Madonna has thrown some kinks in plans we had the next few weeks, but we are trying to get everything sorted out. We were lucky enough to have a great weekend as a family last weekend. We enjoyed Dream Night at the Henry Doorly Zoo, which is a night where they open up the zoo and do special exhibits for kids with disabilities and illnesses. It was a great night! The normally very busy zoo, was much quieter, which was great because many of the animals were more active than they usually are. Aiden thought it was great. We got to walk back by the giraffes, and also got to tour the top of the aquarium where we got to look down over the water that surrounds the shark tunnel. We also got a ride on the train, which Aiden thoroughly enjoyed.
My Dad purchased a helicopter ride from Husker Helicopter in Columbus at Emma’s benefit in February so that he could take Aiden on a helicopter ride. On Sunday, we went to Columbus and Brent, Aiden, my Dad (Papa Alt), and I got to take a ride on the helicopter. We got to enjoy a ride over Columbus and also got to fly over Brent’s family farm, which he loved. Aiden, Brent and Dad all had huge smiles on their faces! Aiden thought this was about the coolest thing ever!! He smiled and squealed the entire ride, and has talked about it all the time since we landedKim and Jill Wolf at Husker Helicopter for so generously donating the ride for the benefit and for giving our family such a memorable day. It was so great to see the huge smile on Aiden’s face and know that he got to have a great day. Thank you to them for their amazing gift!

– which kept Kosovo in Serbia –
The European Union plans to send some 2,000 officials to Kosovo to take over from the United Nations, which has governed the province since 1999. It wantwho – according to the plan drawn up last year by Martti Ahtisaari, the UN envoy – will be the “final authority” in Kosovo with the power to “correct or annul decisions by the Kosovo public authorities”. Kosovo would have had more real independence under the terms Belgrade offered it than it will now.
Those who support the sort of “polyvalent sovereignty” and “postnational statehood” that we already have in the EU welcome such arrangements as a respite from theBut such fictions are in fact always underpinned by the timeless realities of brute power. There are 16,000 Nato troops in Kosovo and they have no intention of coming home: indeed, they are even now being reinforced with 1,000 extra troops from Britain. They, not the Kosovo army, are responsible for the province’s internal and external security.
In order to symbolise its status as the newest Euro-Atlantic colony, Kosovo has chosen a flag modelled on that of Bosnia-Herzegovina – the same EU gold, the same arrangement of stars on a blue background. For Bosnia, too, is governed by a foreign high representative, who has the power to sack elected politicians and annul laws, all in the name of preparing the country for EU integration.
As in Bosnia, billions have been poured into Kosovo to pay for the international administration but not to improve the lives of ordinary people. Kosovo is a sump of poverty and corruption, both of which have exploded since 1999, and its inhabitants have eked out their lives for nine years now in a mafia state where there are no jobs and not even a proper electricity supply: every few hours there are power cuts, and the streets of Kosovo’s towns explode in a whirring din as every shop and home switches on its generator.
us – and no doubt deliberate – gap between appearance and reality.

en | N/A | N/A | Progress with the challenge layout has been a bit slow of late, with the good weather and holidays. And to make matters worse, we seem to have sold our house, and are frantically searching for a new one. This challenge was going to be tight enough without the disruption of moving house!
Even close-up it looks OK, though I'm planning a wash of dirty brown and perhaps picking the wooden sleepers out in grey, before ballasting. Mind you it all depends on how much time I have!

- Yellow is for the three isolating sections.
The rails were carefully spiked in place checking the gauge. Slots had been cut under the tie bar for the wire droppers, and holes through the sleeper and foam-board at the hinge point, so the blades could be dropped in place. The tie-bars are made from 40" plastic (they will be cut down) through which the droppers pass, although these are largely cosmetic they do help keep the blade spacing. At present I have yet to fit the check rails.
The points are operated by wire-in-tube, a steel wire through the tie-bar passes through a plastic (PTFE?) tube which is held in place by lots of hot-glue and pieces of foam board so it cannot move sideways. A Z-bend in the wire by the tie bar acts as a spring for any slack. The other end is attached to a slide-switch, which not only will switch the electrics for the point vee, but also acts as the latch to hold the point over. Actuation is by dowels to the side of the layout, attached to the slide switches with a screw, more on this when I get to the wiring.

The result is not pretty but it does work, no more shorts. I guess there is a chance of the 4-wheel loco stalling over the big isolating gap, but it seems OK at the moment. You can see I have only done this fix to the straight route, as this is the point it shorted every time, the curved route does get the occasional short but seems better for some reason. I'm hoping paint on the back of the blade might help (electrical switching is done separately), but in any case while the straight route will be in constant use for shunting, the kick-back siding is likely to be rarely used - it is more for scenic effect! The other two point are of larger radius and don't seem to have this problem at all.

Wires go to the most convenient place to attach to the track, and will all be hidden by buildings at the end of the layout or buried under the farmyard surface. They meet in a terminal block that will also be inside a building. The wires and point control tubes are all stuck in place with a hot glue gun: quick, easy and strong.
The rules specifically allow the front to be folded down to improve the view, which is a good idea as otherwise the view would be rather restricted to the "helicopter" position. However I thought removing the whole panel would weaken the box significantly, so I have cut away a large section with plenty at each end, and 5mm at the bottom, to maintain the strength. This section will be re-attached so that it hinges down. I have sealed the cut edges with a couple of coats of thinned PVA glue, and will paint them black for neatness in due course.

This is the result of my efforts over the last couple of weeks then - three hand-built points. Other than some cosmetic quarry track in 009 (that was never intended to work, or tested to see if it would), this is my first effort at building my own track. I used the Roy Link (KBScale) templates but since I was going to be hiding the track, and I didn't want to protrude pins or moving parts through the baseboard, I decided on the traditional approach of soldering to copper-clad sleepers.

So when starting in a new scale/gauge, should I start with the exciting new loco kit, the pile of wagons, or the track? Hmmm...
As you can see I started with track! This is only a small project so there was no point in setting up a test track, just crack on with the layout. However that meant starting with a point - or two! Now this is the first time I have made my own track, apart from some "scenic" 009 quarry track many years ago (including stub points), but as that was never wired for operation it doesn't really count!

en | N/A | N/A | Last year I tried to bench roll this flat and messed it all up, it was bent way off center and there was no hope of me fixing it. Well I got access to a mandrel and jig from a very kind fellow and before I tried to roll any of my new flats I thought I'd try to save this one.
Well I am almost satisfied with it, it has a fine layer of rust on it from being out in my shop, in a drawer for the last year or so but it ought to blast right off, no pits.
It still isn't perfect it needs a little more messaging, but it is probably close enough to build on. The bend is still a little off-center and I am going to continue trying to adjust it until I get it close to perfect.
The roll usually goes bad at the crease at the bottom of the charging tube, they do not bend with the same amount of force or at the same angle on each side due to the port opening.
You're right, I am going to work on it again this afternoon and try to even it out some more. The right side rail (ejection port side) is about an 1/8th inch higher when measured from the center of the receiver.
Go by the width between the rails from vertical centerline, and check the profile, you will find that the crease under the charging tube on the left side, (opposite the port) is not bent as sharp as the one on the port side is, and that the left side profile of the receiver is flatter on the left side as well. Once your get that charging tube profile corrected and square your rails you will be a lot closer.
Finally conduct a test something like this.
Thank you. Work in progress, almost done though. Will be blasting and parking by the end of the month.
Yeah... fredies post is awesome! |
en | N/A | N/A | PANAGYURISHTE, (BM) – Seeing a strange three-letter abbreviation in the title, you, the reader, will probably frown: “Well, again, these marketers have come up with another trick to sell us a miracle weapon, devoid of the problems of its predecessors.”
To begin with, let’s ask a question: what weapons topics are the most controversial in the Ukrainian media?Without a doubt, this is the so-called legalization of short-barreled rifled weapons. Why “so-called”?
Also, I suppose, pistols / revolvers won’t let you eat?
Strange, isn’t it?In a country where you can even buy a tank, the subject of the most heated debate is precisely the “black rifle” …
What is the fault of the AR platform-based rifles?
And if so, it is with them that you can frighten. What if it works?
This is a common weapon for our media. By the way, what is the right way to say – “rifle” or “carbine”? |
en | N/A | N/A | Online Platform Reaches Out to Cyclists in Beijing
China was once known as the "Kingdom of Bicycles”. But its iconic bike culture has begun to slip away. An online platform has been newly developed to help improve cycling environment in Beijing.
Volunteers tested the platform’s functionality and interface and spread the word on social media.
Jian Gemin, an engineer in Beijing, bikes to work every day. But in recent years, he found that the city, where the number of vehicles just reached 5 million, is becoming less friendly to bikers.
So he applauded a newly-developed online platform (http://www.ourtransport.net ) which collects feedback from residents on cycling conditions in Beijing, and became a volunteer to test its functionality and interface.
The online platform is a pilot created by the Beijing Transport Research Center (BTRC) in collaboration with the environmental NGO Friends of Nature (FON) and technology provider Ushahidi, and with support from the World Bank, as a first step to help improve the city’s cycling environment. Residents can submit reports to it about problems or positive elements of the cycling environment in Beijing via web, smart phone apps, SMS or social media.
On Sunday, October 21, an event jointly organized by the four project partners brought together 70 volunteers from different walks of life to learn about and test the platform.
On his way to the office, Jian Gemin biked through sections of road without bike paths, or, even worse, with cars parked in bike lanes. He took photos and submitted a report to the platform.
During the three-day testing, more than 110 reports were submitted to the platform via various channels. All user-generated reports are on.
"Clearly there is strong interest among both institutions and individuals in Beijing to better understand and plan for the needs of cyclists," said Ke FangAs this first technical pilot draws to a close, the Bank and its partners will look for ways to follow up on this work, both in Beijing and hopefully across China

3This topic obviously raises conceptual problems. First, how far is it legitimate to refer to "Arabic" media, since the term implies that these media form a unified whole?
11This raises several questions. What are the respective roles of Western foreign policy and Muslim theology in the support expressed for terrorists by Muslim public opinion?According to the Pew survey (2005), it is "slightly more in favour of bomb attacks when these are directed against Americans or other foreigners in Iraq". Furthermore, what has been the role of the media in the development of these opinions in recent years?Why is there majority support only in Morocco?Why has confidence is Osama bin Laden increased significantly in Jordan (from 5 % in 2003 to 60 % in 2005) and Pakistan (from 6 % in 2003 to 51 % in 2005), but dropped by 23 % in Indonesia and 26 % in Morocco?

When I decided to come to La Trobe back in 2011, I began to realise just how many people in Melbourne, and across Victoria, have some sort of La Trobe connection – either as graduates themselves, or as members of a family that includes a La Trobe graduate. Almost without fail, the story told is one of the amazing opportunity that La Trobe made possible. There is widespread and deep affection for the University as a result.
Now that I have been here for almost five years, my affection and passion for La Trobe continues to grow. La Trobe is a I can see why our alumni and former staff are always so passionate about La Trobe: no one spends time here and leaves without believing in what we do.
One of the most satisfying parts of my job as Vice-Chancellor is going to graduation ceremonies, across all of our campuses. Graduations hold some of the most enduring memories for me about what makes La Trobe special. Time and time again I hear stories about entire families that have studied with us, often being the first generation in their family to study at university, and it is deeply rewarding to hear them talk about the impact that La Trobe has had on their lives.

La Trobe people have also made extraordinaryWe have created new knowledge in ways that have had a transformative effect, our researchers are world-class and work on topichumanity, and we have produced some of Australia’s leading public intellectuals.
I’m very proud of the fact that La Trobe is now, once again,– but even more pleased that we have achieved this while remaining one of Australia’s most accessible and diverse institutions. It is a unique achievement and one that we will rightly celebrate in 2017 as we turn 50.
We have much to celebrate in in 2017, but equally many reasonsPersonally, I look forward to the next round of graduation ceremonies, where I know I will see first-hand what is so special about La Trobe.

en | N/A | N/A | Getting Congress to pay attention to Puerto Rico was like "talking to them in a foreign language."
WASHINGTON ― In 2015, as talk began to circulate on Capitol Hill of crafting legislation to help Puerto Rico manage its billions in debt, a hedge fund creditor paid a visit to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew’s new special counselor.
The creditor told Antonio Weiss, who would become the point person on the island’s fiscal crisis, that the Puerto Rico government should simply eliminate some waste and cut a certain number of jobs to pay back its debt. Don’t bet on Congress helping, the creditor said.
A year ago, the idea of lawmakers lifting a finger to help the beleaguered commonwealth was indeed a pipe dream. But Weiss knew better. He told the creditor that history indicated otherwise. When Americans’ livelihoods are threatened, he said, Congress moves in.
Puerto Rico is home to 3.5 million Americans.
Earlier this summer, after a year of haggling and revising, Congress passed legislation allowingebt under the supervision of an oversight board. The bill didn’t satisfy everyone, but it is nevertheless the only piece of major economic policy to pass Congress this year ― a sign of Treasury’s persistence in the face of incredible gridlock.
At the center of those negotiations, and in countless meetings with lawmakers, labor unions, Puerto Rican officials and creditors, sat Weiss ― soft-spoken and stoic.
But it took months to get Congress to focus on the task, and Treasury needed to convince skeptics that Puerto Rico would otherwise face devastatingWhen Treasury first went to Congress in September, Weiss and others were met with incredulity. Democrats and Republicans alike asked why they didn’t just undertake some extraordinary palliative measure themselves. For starters: Treasury doesn’t have the unilateral authority to approve restructuring powers for the island.
In October, Treasury returned with a detailed plan, taking time to dive into the arcane elements of Puerto Rico’s multifaceted debt and the inevitable defaults to come. From there, it took nine months to get a bill to the floor of the House, and another month on top of that to get it through the Senate.
For Weiss, that meant 35 meetings on Capitol Hill, 20 meetings with Puerto Rico Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla, five trips to the island and three congressional hearings. According to a source within the Garcia Padilla administration, it was Weiss who first articulated the need to craft a legal framework for restructuring and take it to Congress.
The first obstacle, and possibly the greatest, was apathy.
“To talk to them about doing something for Puerto Rico, doing something for Puerto Ricans, was like talking to them in a foreign language,” the source added.
To help craft and move legislation to the floor, Treasury staffed up. Not only did it engage and meet with members, it built up a team to regularly talk to all stakeholders ― a wide array of creditors, labor interests and Puerto Rican businesses and lawmakers.
Weiss met with the Progressive Caucus, the Hispanic Caucus and every sub-caucus that would listen to him. And when Secretary Lew trekked up to Capitol Hill, Weiss was nearby, joining in on meetings with House and Senate leaders of both parties.
In the months of back-and-forth over minute details ― Treasury wanted all the debt covered, no exceptions ― Weiss remained in close contact with the House Republicans writing the bill, and withs it became clear Congress intended to introduce a legislative option to help Puerto Rico, the hedge funds moved in.
Advertisements lambasting Congress, and Antonio Weiss specifically, blared across TVs and popped up in major newspapers and online. Full-page ads denounced Weiss for trying to bankrupt states, and others claimed the bill would be a huge cost to taxpayers. Ryan took that last one personally.
When the Center for Individual Freedom started running TV ads painting the bill as a bailout at taxpayer expense, Ryan went to the mat, telling reporters it was offensive that groups were mischaracterizing the legislation. CFIF’s donors are anonymous, but it is suspected of being a front group for hedge funds that own Puerto Rico debt.
Democrats, meanwhile, had their own issues with the bill. Pelosi was able to deliver a strong vote in the House, but only after many decried the increased power afforded to the oversight board, and the provisions keeping minimum wage on the island below the national standard.
Weiss, at left, testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, April 13, 2016, before the House Natural Resources Committee.
After the long battle in the House, the Senate took up consideration of the bill with only a month to go before its summer break. The short time frame didn’t make it an easy sell for Treasury. In the days leading up to the vote, Weiss went back and forth with senators, especially Democrats who weren’t particularly happy with the compromises that came out of the House.
On top of the minimum wage provision, Democrats were upset over the island’s exemption from new overtime rules, and wanted more pension protections for workers on the island.
Weiss again helped navigate talks with senators, offering a “degree of credibility to the compromise,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).
For Blumenthal, Weiss’ expertise and knowledge of financial issues from his time as a former Lazard investment banker ― amounting to roughly two decades on Wall Street ― were key in assuaging Democratic concerns.
“What he added, in a sense, was a view as to what the extraordinary damage and dangers would be in the event of default and the consequences of postponing action,” Blumenthal said.
Weiss laid out what would be likely to happen in the event of cascading catastrophes. Without preventative action, he said, the island would become isolated economically; unemployment would rise and essential services would be lost.
Still, the bill isn’t perfect, and the oversight board is a concern not only for Blumenthal, but for a number of progressives and labor unions.
The commonwealth won’t rebound with restructuring alone. Blumenthal is hopeful Congress will work on legislation before the end of the year to boost the island’s health care programs, tax provisions and other economic programs. Without incentives provided by Congress, it remains to be seen if businesses will stay in Puerto Rico.
A source within the labor movement (which never threw its support behind the bill) praised the Treasury Department and Weiss for being open throughout the entire process, but said it’s simply too soon to tell what the final outcome will be for the island and its people.
The Garcia Padilla administration is cautiously optimistic as well. The source within the administration who spoke to HuffPost said the talk on the island from local media and residents is focused on the control board established under the bill. Many are worried that the board takes too much power away from the Puerto Rican government, and that the majority of seats given to Republicans could jeopardize a restructuring vote.
Much of Weiss’ attention in the coming months will be on the oversight board, which is supposed to be formed by mid-September. Treasury hopes it happens sooner.
While the restructuring bill can be notched as a win for Treasury, it’s just one piece in a larger process. The next step is setting up the oversight board. Seeing how well the board funcdministration’s success. |

Ophionuroides anomalus
Ophiogomphus is primarily a Holarctic genus, with the greatest diversity of species being in North America. The Extra-striped Snaketail (Ophiogomphus anomalus) has an eastern Nearctic distribution and is found in the Great Lakes, New England, and maritime regions, from Nova Scotia and Maine, south to Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and west to Wisconsin and northeastern Minnesota. Adjacent to Minnesota, it has been found in west central Wisconsin at sites along the Chippewa, Flambeau, and St. Croix rivers, and it has also been reported from the Gull River in the Thunder Bay region of Ontario. There are 150-200 known occurrences of this species reported in the United States and Canada (NatureServe 2015). Although this species has been found in abundance at a few sites, it is highly localized throughout its fairly limited range and is usually reported in small numbers when found.
Despite targeted searches in Minnesota (Montz 1993; Steffens and Smith 1999; Steffens 2001, 2004), the Extra-striped Snaketail has only been found in the Pigeon and Brule rivers in Cook County and in the upper St. Louis River in St. Louis County. The species has been located at several sites along the St. Croix River in Wisconsin but, to date, the species has not been recorded on the Minnesota side of the river. Given its limited distribution, the Extra-striped SnaketaiExtra-striped Snaketail has been listed as an endangered species in Wisconsin since 1989.
The Extra-striped Snaketail is a medium-sized, bright green and black dragonfly, with a cobra-like clubtail. The adult has a medium-sized body that is approximately 4.3 cm (1.7 in.) long. This species has widely separated eyes; narrow, black, facial stripes, and a bright green thorax on which black, interrupted, lateral stripes form an “N” shape. The abdomen is black, with yellow, dorsal spots; segments S1-S7 have yellow, triangular, dorsal spots; segments S8-S9 are rounded. The female has upright, occipital horns and small, postocular horns.
Larvae of this species are slightly flattened dorso-ventrally, and their abdomen is oval, with a cylindrical, wedge shape. Their wing cases are divergent, and their antennae are thickened at the fourth segment, which differs from other related species. The Extra-striped Snaketail’s tibiae are short and twisted, with hooks for burrowing into substrate.
In Minnesota, this species is a resident of the Border Lakes and Northern Superior Uplands subsections adjacent to rivers draining into the Lake Superior watershed. The main breeding populations have been found at several locations in Cook County (Montz 1993). In addition, Steffens (2000) reported an occurrence near Pineville in St. Louis County (Tamarack Lowlands).
In general, Ophiogomphid larvae prefer clear, swift flowing rivers. Adults patrol these rivers and forage in adjacent wetlands, lowland forests, and mature upland forests with closed canopy and low understory. They tend to disappear from cleared or cultivated regions due to the reduction of sheltered shoreline vegetation for adults as well as changes in flow and siltation in the larval habitat.
The Extra-striped Snaketail is usually found in and along small- to medium-sized rivers that have rapids and riffles and are up to 1 m (3.3 ft.) deep, with a substrate of gravel, sand, and cobble. Preferred water temperature ranges from cool to warm. The preferred, terrestrial vegetation in adjacent areas seems to be mature mixed-hardwood forest with minimal fragmentation and a large, continuous, riparian buffer zone.
In Minnesota, the sites where the Extra-striped Snaketail has been found are characterized by pristine, medium-sized rivers with rapid current, high oxygen content, and high water quality. Many, spring-fed streams drain the landscape, which is moderately low to hilly. The watersheds have extensive forest coverage, usually undisturbed old growth or mature second-growth mixed forest of aspen (Populus spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and conifers (Northern Fire-Dependent Forest), or birch, maple (Acer spp.), and pine (Pinus spp.) (Northern Mixed Mesic Hardwood Forest). These areas are largely managed as state or national forest orregions of low population density (10 or fewer people per square mile).
The larval ophiogomphid diet generally consists of other insect larvae such as midge and mayfly nymphs. Adult ophiogomphids usually forage for other flying insects that are approximately their size or smaller. They hunt away from the water’s edge, in adjacent forest areas and can be seen flying up to tree top level in the canopy in search of food.
Extra-striped Snaketail larvae may be locally abundant in selected sites, however, smaller numbers of adults have been observed at those same sites. This suggests that there may be a high mortality at emergence. While adults are not known to be territorial, they have been observed patrolling regular beats along streams when searching for a mate. Although they forage for food in woodland areas, they often remain within 30 m (98 ft.) of the shoreline from which they emerged. They perch or rest in treetops in evening and early morning.
Ophiogomphids generally have a 2-year life cycle, wherein the larvae overwinter and then emerge as adults the following summer. Males patrol rivers and usually mate while perched on bushes and trees along the shoreline. Females oviposit alone by irregularly tapping their abdomen into the river, dispersing their eggs directly into the current. After hatching, larvae burrow into the sandy substrate of the river bottom. At maturity, larvae emerge from water in midmorning and crawl away from shoreline for some distance. Over the course of several hours, they undergo transformation while resting on rocks, vegetation, or even high up on the trunks of large trees. Emergence of the Extra-striped Snaketail has been observed in May or early June, with the flight season extending into early August.
Steffens (2000) reports that this species is typically found in areas where the watershed has a forest cover of 70% or more. In addition, natural resource maps indicate that known occurrences of this species coincide with remote, minimally fragmented, riverine forest habitat (LMIC 2002). Appropriate conservation measures for this species include maintaining wide, riparian forest buffer zones and preventing fragmentation of the larger forest areas in watersheds where this species is found. Shoreline land clearing increases runoff and sedimentation that can have a negative impact on the larvae, which depend on cool, clear water that is free of siltation. Additionally, chemical and organic pollumay compromise water quality beyond the tolerance of this sensitive species. Shoreline clearing may also negatively impact adults of this species, which seem to require forested, riparian areas and nearby forested wetlands for their feeding and reproductive activities. The spread of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) populations in the Lake Superior basin may also negatively impact this species, as there have been reports of other gomphid populations being impacted by this nonnative, invasive species (Tucker and Camerer 1994).
As this species prefers high quality streams within undisturbed riparian forest zones, the lack of adequate dispersal corridors may become a concern if pollution, land clearing activities, or even climate change impact their current habitats.
Survey work at the sites where Extra-striped Snaketails have been reported has been done primarily by Steffens and Smith (1999, 2000) and Montz (1993). While dragonflies have been surveyed by other researchers in many other parts of Minnesota, the Extra-striped Snaketail has been found at only a small number of sites. Based on similarities to habitat characteristics at known sites, expanded survey work along the main streams and drainages of the Big Fork and the Little Fork rivers of north-central Minnesota, the Vermillion River of northeastern Minnesota, and the upper St. Louis River is recommended.Zigzag Darners (among many other species18.

en | N/A | N/A | I am all for not clogging up the frequency, but violently opposed to mindless frequent transmissions at the expense of flight safety. If I ask where you are and you do not answer, you are missing an opportunity to avoid a midair. That is the only reason for Unicom.
I too listen for about five minutes - then I call four miles out. Most of the time, if someone else is there, they will tell me "look for a white cessna downwind 23". Think about why you do stuff in an airplane - leave the mindless procedures for folks not doing stuff that can hurt you.
I think mindlessly asking for an airport advisory is lots worse than asking if anybody is around. When was the last time a Unicom operator answered you?
Opinion. My first seven years flying was exclusively at uncontrolled airports.
I don’t answer the “anybody in the pattern” question but will call my next move soon after. So instead of saying yes I am here and then 20 seconds later call turning crosswind, I’ll just not answer and call crosswind.
Agree. It answers their question without talking directly to them.
Just finished reviewing my valued copies of the ASF. Safety Advisor #3, "Operations at Nontowered Airports". They are pretty good - changed little between 2005 and 2007. I ought to get a more recent version. These are good handouts.
I obviously disagree with some of the tenets - they recommend that ten mile call, no matter whether you are an Aeronca C3 or a Gulfstream. They recommend multiple calls with multiple repetition of the airport on each one. And they are horrified by anyone asking an obvious question like "anyone home" and yet espouse the query "Wings Unicom, Conquest Three-Nine Alpha, 10 miles south, request airport advisory." Seems to me the two querys are identical - except that you are far more likely to get a response from pattern traffic.
I could go along with starting and ending a call with the airport name, but, and this is just personal preference, I would vastly prefer that you say it once, slowly, at the end of your transmission. Here is what I often hear, like every ten seconds from the same aircraft: "Mphlfgt traffic, this is 123 downwind Mpriiffic". No help at all.
But get this: page 5 "2. Be brief - It is more important for pilots to know what kind of airplane you are flying than to know your complete call sign." On that, I completely agree. Get one of these fine handouts. AOPA gives them away. |

en | N/A | N/A | I’ve been messing around with ORtools and GH_CPython and wanted to share two TSP solver implementations:
First one is the standard tsp problem, so it finds the shortest route between all the points. Performance is good: Calculating a route between 1000 points route takes 26s, given that there are 2×10^2564 possible routes, I’ll take it.
Second one is a tool to sort & flip curves to find the shortest route between them. This could be very useful if you want to engrave/ CNC /drawing Robot something and don’t care about reversing some curves. But it is a bit hacky since all I did was to set the distance function for the curves to 0 and multiplied the rest by some large number to force the algorithm to use the curves in the route planning.
Probably there is much room for improvement, ORTools are quite rich but I didn’t look too deep into it. There are options to set different algorithms, time limits, etc… So If you do, please share
To use you’ll have to install Python, OR tools and GH_CPython

You guys are doing it wrong This is an example of 1500 nodes solved in PHP on my home PC I need to do some more verifications before claiming anything, but it looks like it can be solved in n^2, instead of n!. A pain to validate though.
I should fix some issues (eg. point uniqueness - I believe some points might be duplicate and end up being visited twice here). Anyway this is what the currently very rough script does in under a second on my old PC

Also, sorry about “you’re doing it wrong�, had to be a joke letting me crash your party. Which it obviously didn’t sound like. Sorry about that.
The point is I think I had an epiphany on how to solve TSP. Made a quick 30 liner in PHP, seems to do the job as intended.
I got interested in the problem after a millenia prize was announced by Clay Mathematics Institute, back in 2000, yet I’m no scientist. I do deliver leaflets in UK at the moment, have some web technologies background, and just interested in approaching things differently.
So the way I see it, I can share my insights, but you’d have to listen first. And then help me fine tune it. Maybe write a scholar article to initiate a prize claim, or such.
I have no idea how your culture works, don’t judge me for that, please.
Konrad (Konrad) August 5, 2020, 4:18pm #8
Hey Tjankus,
welcome to forums first of all, most of the time this is a very open and friendly place on the internet, a lot of knowledgeable people and awesome developers.
Your work on TSP seems very interesting!
I think for many applications handling huge number of points is a big plus and taking a hit in absolute efficiency is mostly not a problem. Currently I am working with design students and an industrial robot. Right now we testing “painting� with the robot, so naturally the question comes up, what is the best route between all brushstrokes
I would like to help you with your question but I think I am not the right guy, since I am not that technical after all. Maybe open up another thread and ask for specific help - probably this is more fruitful
btw: I found this a while ago, they seem to have an efficient algorithm as well

Hi there. So I took a look at or-tools and changed some stuff around. Changed the standard algorithm the OP used to a more advanced one called guided local search (recommended by google for this kind of stuff). It shouldn’t get stuck as often in a local minima. I also added a search time limit (in seconds, default 1) to the python component, 30 seems to do a very good job.
Another thing I did was scaling the distance matrix (also recommended by google) seeing as or-tools only works with integers and rounding by 0.5 when the values are small produces a very big rounding error. Simply multiplied everything by 1000 so 0.5 becomes negligible.
Here’s the file, it also works for points in a 3D space apparently. I haven’t changed anything for the part that works with curves but I will take a look at it as it will definitely come in handy at work.
Thanks to the original poster for the file, I couldn’t have done it myself as I’m a beginner in python (or programming in general). Would you be interested in taking a look at a more advanced TSP solver that produces exact solutions and maybe see if you can port that to grasshopper? It is written in C: Concorde Home
There’s also a python wrapper around it but it might have some issues running on windows:

thank you for sharing! Good work changing the algorithm and especially the addition of the time limit – nice. btw, I did a similar trick by multiplying by a large number since ORtools works better/only with integers
Like you I only have beginner programming skills and since ORtools did the TSP in reasonable time I didn’t want to invest in learning C and and integrating concorde. TSP comes up so often that is almost strange that there isn’t a component or plugin by now.
On a side note: Can I ask how the curve sorting will come in handy? Just out of interest…

Oops, didn’t notice the 3rd post, my bad.
Concorde gives you the exact solution and is blazingly fast, someday I might try to convert it but it’s going to be a long road ahead.
I work with a CNC router, and apart from closed curves (which I easily sort by sorting the starting/end points) I also have open curves which obviously start and end at different points so if I take that into consideration the sorting is more accurate. Optimising is my obsesion at work.
Konrad (Konrad) September 21, 2021, 2:56pm #29
I recently had another go at this. Here is a comparison between 4 different options:
ORtools gives the best result (100% reference) but I tested other tools as well: In this example bubalus and fennec seem to use the same algorithm, achieving 84%
Spiralizing the shape seems to be a good way, too. Offset-curves has its difficulties with non-convex shapes and the route is not as efficient (77%); A refined version uses clipper so non-convex is not a problem and the route is pretty good
As a comparison just sorting by XYZ gives 20% or in other words takes 5 times as long.
Maybe we get a nice plugin-less version with high efficiency someday… @tjankus

Here is a good article about different heuristic algorithms for this problem: 11 Animated Algorithms for the Traveling Salesman Problem
Haven’t implemented any of these algorithms for my Megarachne | Food4Rhino yet, but it looks doable. |

This “true riches” has been given to every believer, It is what flows from God to us as blessings and inheritance. God hasn’t called us into a wealthy place that is full of chaos and unrest, rather, He has brought us into a place of rest with all kinds of blessings and spiritual endowment (true riches).

en | N/A | N/A | When it comes to vintage eyewear the 70s can sometimes be a decade that is overlooked. People often think of the 50s & 60s cat eyes or 80s huge oversized specs, but let me assure you the eyewear in the 70s was just as hot as the mini skirts, bell sleeves and flares that graced the decade.
The seventies had one of our favourite colour pallets of all time, with earthy tones including harvest gold, burnt sienna, teak and avocado all taking centre stage. All of these colours can be seen throughout the glasses and sunglasses of the era.
Throughout the 70s technological advances made eyewear more mainstream and plastic lenses were starting to become more common than glass. This brought big advantages, not only from a safety/breakage point of view, but glass lenses are at least twice the weight of plastic due to the density of the material. This often made eyewear heavy and uncomfortable.
The way sunglasses were tinted changed across the decade too. In 1974 RayBan introduced Ambermatic lenses. These light adaptive lenses changed colour depending on the light conditions from amber to dark grey. The lenses highlighted contours and shapes making them great for winter sports.
Graduated or Gradutint lenses also became popular. The lenses would be dip-dyed in tanks and with time the density of tint would change across the surface of the lens. Most commonly the lenses would be darker at the top, and fade towards the bottom of the frame.
We also saw a surge in yellow and amber tints, giving a real hippy vibe with famous faces sporting the look such as John Lennon and David Bowie.
With lens innovations came frame enhancements and in 1964 Wilhelm Anger who at the time worked with ViennaLine and later Carrera created the plastic material Optyl. Optyl is that is still used to this day. It is partly down to this material that many of our new old stock frames are in mint condition, as the glasses were designed to last. The material was used by many manufacturers and is quite prolific across several high end brands such as Christian Dior and Dunhill.
We have picked our three favourite shapes from the decade and some of our hot picks from our 70s Collection.
Aviator glasses and sunglasses were popular across the decade as was military fashion in general. Designers were influenced by many factors such as the Vietnam War and the emergence of global TV coverage displaying the fashion trends of both activists and demonstrators.
Featured below are some of our favourite 70s style icons which we hope you enjoy.
Butterfly shaped frames were popular in the seventies, and can be seen in the image at the top of this blog post which features Olivia Newton John at Bleecker Street Station in New York. Butterfly frames are feminine, often oversized and they have the same bilateral symmetry as that of the butterfly.
Oversized Square frames were huge in the 70s and most definitely our favourite pick of the lot, be it glasses or sunglasses, we're just crazy for this style at Retro HQ.
70's that I didn't know before starting this blog post. In regards to fashion it could currently be my favourite. I hope you have found interesting and insightful and in perfect timing I finish typing to the Sultans of Swing by the Dire Straights, a classic hit from 1978. |

I was very close with my mom but she unfortunately recently passed away. :( I have never been close with my father. He was emotionally abusive to my mom and honestly neglectful of her and has no understanding of how to care for anyone or any pet. We made him promise not to get another dog, or else we’d have to report him (anonymously) to animal services as he was negligent toward his former dog and she ended up with medical issues. He’s just incapable of empathy to some degree and is incredibly selfish; it’s obvious he has some psychological personality disorder but I’m not sure what. I’m not trained in psychology.
If it were up to me, I’d honestly distance myself from him and have no relationship with him. He adds little to nothing to my life but stress and embarrassment most of the time. He doesn’t know how to act around people normally. It’s tough to explain. I didn’t attend my own law school graduation because I was too scared he would embarrass me in some way in front of my professors or colleagues, who are all professionals. He is also racist and sexist in some ways.
So anyway, despite all this, my sister and husband insists I continue to have a relationship with him and involve him with our future child. I can, but would want to limit it. I’m planning a gender reveal soon with only immediate family and incredibly stressed about how he may behave/act, and my sister suggested bringing her kids as an aid to distract him from talking with others and upsetting them. It’s honestly a bit ridiculous.
I don’t know exactly what I’m asking but just wondering if anyone is in a similar boat with parents and how you’re handling it. I think he’s upset with me for not calling that much, so lately he’s not answering my phone calls. But I’m just so exhausted with work and the pregnancy, I lately don’t want to call anyone, never mind someone I don’t particularly like who usually only stresses me out.
My husband insists I continue to see him on holidays and have a relationship with him so for now I will. But there’s so much about his life that stresses me out - he’s like a train wreck waiting to happen at any time - so I’m trying not to get too involved or invested. Also a long story to explain about that.
I feel sympathetic for anyone who knows what this is like. It’s so tough. 😌 😌
Hey this is pretty similar to my situation. My mom is an alcoholic, and while she’s currently sober, we do not have a good relationship. She’s also just super unstable and cruel. To sum it up, my childhood was not a lot of fun. I feel like there is so much pressure on adult children to maintain relationships with parents even in situations of past abuse or neglect. People always say, “well she’s your mom.” But honestly she didn’t mother me and I am alive in spite of her not because of her. I’ve worked very hard to get some sort of working relationship with her that doesn’t harm me bc I care about my dad and my siblings. But you don’t owe anyone anything. The truth is that if anyone else acted that way or did similar things, they likely would not be in your life. Your sister has her own relationship with him and your decision to maintain a relationship with him should not be based on her. And your husband needs to back you up. The absolute best thing for me has been my husband confirming at times that yes the things my mother does are awful and abusive. Bringing a child into this situation is very difficult but your duty is to your child at this point, not to your dad. Find what works for you but it’s going to require boundaries. Number one will be absolutely no unsupervised time. There is a lot of commonality Your sister and husband may call your dramatic or say you should just give him a chance, buis not going to have a personality transplant bc you have a baby. Good luck on this!! There is no right answer unfortunately
@ali765,
thank you!! I told my husband he was abusive but he doesn’t seem to believe me. He knows my dad is ‘weird’ but says he’s a good guy who loves me. I know he loves me and my sister but I just don’t like him. He was very cruel to my mom and wasn’t really around for us as kids.
I’ll still see him on holidays and here and there, but it’s not going to be nearly as frequent as my sister sees him and that’s OK. He causes me a ton of anxiety and headaches just listening to him ramble and not make sense, and spew racist stuff all the time. He is also an alcoholic so I’m stressed about whether he will drink and drive after my gender reveal, or how much alcohol he will have. He risked killing us in the past after he insisted on driving after drinking when we were kids. My husband wants to offer alcohol but I’ll monitor him and have to stop him after a point. Maybe threaten to call the cops if he does want to leave and is too drunk. It’s honestly just always stressful around him.
I wouldn’t let him babysit my baby and will put my foot down on that. My sister feels the same - she entrusted our dad to look after her 2 year old once for only a few minutes and he just randomly decided to drive off to the hardware store and leave her alone outside. She was wandering alone around the neighbor’s home until my sister saw her and brought her home. She was so freaked out — what if a child molester saw her and just took her in his car? He’s just incredibly ADD and like I said, negligent really.
I’m so sorry you’re going through something similar. There’s no easy answer. I guess I have to tolerate him at family events but will not see him much otherwise. I think he’s going through some sort of depression and drinking a lot, I think partially because my mom never forgave him and I don’t like him but I can’t force myself to have a strong relationship with him just to make him feel better. He has to be an adult and find friends or hobbies but he doesn’t.

My husband is not close with both his parents. They each have their own problem and have not been good parents to him. It gives him a great deal of stress thinking about how to communicate the news of a baby to them. He also isn't looking forward to them visiting. I'm supportive of whatever he decides to do with his parents. It's his family anyway. We have not yet shared the news with them.
@gandras,
that’s so good that you’re supportive. I wish my husband was a bit more understanding but he doesn’t seem to completely get it. As long as he agrees that he won’t be babysitting our child or left alone with him/her, that’s enough for me. I’ll bear seeing him on special occasions and every so often, maybe once every 4-6 months or so. I know my dad will insist on visiting more often and throwing a hissy fit if we don’t visit him but I have to put up some boundaries.
Even now I think he’s not answering the phone because he’s mad at me for not visiting when I dislike him, he’s a huge anti Vaxxer and I’m pregnant and need to be careful. So no, I’m not going out of my way to visit him or call him. He should honestly be lucky I even shared the news and visited him once for Father’s Day already.
I cut my dad out of my life like 2 years ago. He doesn’t even know I’m pregnant and not planning on him finding out. Do what’s best for you and your family. Your sister doesn’t get a say in this.
@SNS521,
thanks hun. I am a bit scared even if I put up boundaries like I don’t want him randomly visiting, he may do it or become very forceful/bullying. Luckily he doesn’t live close though. He hasn’t done it yet but if I were to cut him off entirely, I can see him becoming erratic and pulling weird ***. Not sure what he’s do exactly. I’ll try to be civil and just see him on holidays and every so often. My husband is pressuring me to visit him more than just holidays in the future but we’ll see what happens. I’m not planning too far ahead.
@1sttimer36,
We did increasing levels of boundaries for years which were never respected. But honestly I’d sit down and discuss this with your husband - He should be supporting you in what makes YOU feel mentally healthy and safe. My husband never once made me feel like I was a bad person for my boundaries or even when it came time to cease communication. I told him how I needed him to show up and support me and that was that.

I was adopted when I was 2 weeks old by my paternal grandparents, never had a relationship with either of my bio parents until i was 18, and now I am only semi close with my mom. my father is an absolute disgrace of a human, and I have 5 other siblings by him, but the only one he gives any cares about is my youngest brother. my older brother, 2 of my younger sisters and I have never been able to form a relationship with him and it is simply because of him. my whole life he has made no effort to be apart of my life, and the several times I have talked to him over the years he has only hurt me time and time again. i purposely was not telling him about my pregnancy because it is the one happy moment in my life that I was not going to allow him to take from me, but somehow he found a tik tok I made shortly after we announced and texted me not to say congratulations, but to tell me how I'm such a scared little girl for not telling him and how I am not ready to have a child because of that. I told him in all reality it was because this is MY son, and I'm not going to allow him to have the chance to him like he has hurt me in the last 22 years. he didn't like that and told me he wished me the best and I have not spoken to him since then and I honestly never plan to again. he will not be invited to ever meet my son, attend my wedding, basically as far as I am concerned he is dead to me and I have never felt more at peace than I have with this decision. don't let anyone make you feel ba. you are the only one who can make the choices about what is best for you, regardless of what those choices look like to others.

I was raised by a narcissistic mom and a wonderful dad. It’s taken a long time to get rid of the guilt I carried about needing boundaries in place regarding my mom, and I’m still learning/unlearning things as I go.
I think it’s reallyhusband about it. Be frank with him. If it feels like he’s pressuriell him. Be really firm. You need his support, or you’re not going to be able to set boundaries that help YOU feel secure. If you haven’t given him specific examples of the abuse you witnessed against your mom, start giving those examples. He needs to accept that this is a thing for you, and it’s not okay to invalidate your feelings about it. If you’re fine with holidays but nothing else, fine. But if you’re not even comfortable with that, you absolutely don’t have to subject yourself to it. Your husband needs to support you. He married you, not your father, andfamilial relationships.
Editing to add: I saw you say “if it were up to me.” It is ABSOLUTELY up to you, mama.
RMWLeary
I cut ties with my mom a few years ago. At first my husband kept encouraging me to try to repair things. People kept telling me “You only get one mom” etc.
What finally convinced my husband to let it go was when I asked him if he would encourage his sister to stay in a relationship with a boyfriend who treated her the way my mom treated me.
While it would be nice for my child to have another grandparent, my mom isn’t capable of providing the kind of relationship I would want for my child.
I wioxic people in their lives. Why? It is NOT healthy, at all.
Your instincts are 1000% correct. Your husband and sister are delirious.

I don't speak to my dad at all anymore. We used to be close and I thought he understood me better than my mom. Then I got pregnant now by someone no one really likes and he totally flipped the script. He's a very religious conservative and I am a not very religious liberal, and that's always caused problems. But the last time we spoke early April, he went OFF on me because I'm unmarried and pregnant (again) and said something like "you always pick these s*** men u just like being passed around by all these men" and honestly I felt like that was way over the top. Maybe this pregnancy wasn't ideal but it was completely agreed to and planned and my son is also a part of ME and deserves love from those around him. My father remarried this horrid women who pushes her ideals on to him and forced him at times in my childhood to sever contact with his two daughters, and he freaking did. I could practically hear her voice when he was talking to me and I was disgusted that my own father would say these things when HER daughter used to be loosey goosey before she got married (but of course, she's a perfect angel). I haven't spoken to my dad since April 10, and at 330 am on April 11 I was in the hospital for spotting. That was it for me I don't think my dad and his bs made me bleed but I feel it was a contributor to me spotting along with pushing to use the bathroom. It's hard because I do miss my dad but I miss my old dad the one where he loved me and supported me thru everything and loved me no matter what as parents are supposed to...not this new guy
I'm not close with either of my parents. My mom has always been a narcissistic alcoholic with paranoid delusional tendencies. She spent my whole childhood making me raise my sister's and keeping the whole house clean while she was out running around. She would then come home and tell me how lazy, useless, and unlovable I am.
I moved in with my dad to get away from the constant emotional and mental abuse, only to find out he was the same. I eventually cut my dad out of my life and didn't talk to him for 9 years, but I couldn't find the strength to do that with my mom until I had my son.
I haven't cut her out completely, because I love my grandma so much, and it would hurt her. My grandparents were the closest thing I ever had to true parents. Despite not cutting her out completely, I limit my time around her as much as possible. One day, I just looked at my son and said that I don't want him to think it is okay to let someone treat him like that and broke the hold my mother still had on me. She still makes rude and snide comments/judgements at family functions, but as soon as she starts on me, I simply turn around and walk away. She always complains I don't bring my son around enough, even though she's the one who refuses to make an effort. I also refuse to let him feel the tiniest piece of what I grew up with. I gave her an ultimatum the last time we got into it when she was drunk. She can have drinking and drama, or she could visit her grandson, but I wouldn't allow both at the same time. She made her choice, but acts like I'm unreasonable for protecting him from that.
I have started talking to my dad again, and I'm proud of the changes he has made in his life, but I don't think I'd ever trust him again. Despite all that, I have no issues letting my son around him because he has turned his life around and isn't cruel in public like she is.
Yo. People who don't have crappy parents don't understand. My best friend pushed her ex husband to start talking to his family again because she didn't fully understand. She does now and feels deeply regretful that she did.

en | N/A | N/A | The AIMMS READ and WRITE statements are intended to directly transfer data to and from a single text or case file, or a single table in a database. This is the simplest form of communication with a database. If you need more advanced control over the connection with a particular database, you can access stored procedures within the database using AIMMS. Such procedures can be implemented by the database designer to accomplish advanced tasks that go beyond the ordinary. The use of stored procedures is discussed in Executing Stored Procedures and SQL Queries.
When you are connecting to a table in a database through a READ or WRITE statement, you do not have to make a connection to the server explicitly. The database table declaration and the ODBC configuration files on your system provide sufficient information to allow AIMMS to make the connection automatically whenever needed. If you need to log on to the database, you will be prompted with a log on screen. On some systems it is possible to store log on information in the ODBC data source file.
Different data representation
There is a fundamental difference in the storage of data in AIMMS and the storage of data in a database table. Whereas AIMMS stores its data separately per identifier, a database table stores the data of several indexed identifiers in records all indexed by the same single index tuple. This difference implies that AIMMS has to impose some additional restrictions on data transfer with database tables that are not needed when reading from or writing to either AIMMS case files or text files.
Assumptions about database tables
In order to be able to define the semantics of the READ and WRITE statements to database tables in an unambiguous way, AIMMS makes a number of (reasonable) assumptions about the database tables in an external database. It is, however, not always possible for AIMMS to verify these assumptions, and unexpected effects may occur when they do not hold. The following assumptions about database tables are made.
Every database table is in second normal form, i.e. every non-primary column in the table is functionally dependent on the primary key.
Every primary column in a database table is mapped onto an index in an AIMMS domain set.
Every non-primary column in a database table is mapped onto a (slice of an) AIMMS identifier, such that the specific index domain of this identifier precisely matches the primary key of the database table according to the existing index mapping.
Assumptions about identifier selections
AIMMS will not allow all identifier selections to be read from or written to database tables. An identifier selection is allowed when the following conditions hold for its components.
All parameter and variable references must have the same domain after slicing. The resulting domain must correspond to the primary key of the database table.
During a WRITE statement in REPLACE mode you can only write a simple set or relation mapped onto the primary key of a database table as long as there are no non-primary columns, or when the selection comprises all the columns of the table.
AIMMS allows each domain set associated with a primary column in a table of any dimension to be read from that table.
The above rules can be summarized by stating that the database table can be transformed into an AIMMS composite table for the indexed identifiers in it.
Selections are sparse
Identifier selections in READ and WRITE statements form a one-to-one correspondence with a sparse set of records in the database table. During a READ statement the sparsity pattern is determined by all the records in the database table. During a WRITE statement the sparsity pattern is determined by all indexed identifiers in the selection. Records will be written for only those tuples for which at least one of the indexed identifiers or tuple references has a nondefault value. Thus, the transferred data resulting from a WRITE statement is equivalent to the single composite table in AIMMS for all indexed identifiers in the selection.
Writing data to a database in either merge or replace mode may lead to the creation of new records in a database table. New records will be created when AIMMS writes a tuple for a key for which no record is available. If the table has non-primary attributes for which no data is written, AIMMS will leave these attributes empty when it creates new rows.
Removal of records: REPLACE COLUMNS/ROWS mode
AIMMS supports two replace modes for writing: REPLACE COLUMNS mode (default) and REPLACE ROWS mode.
In REPLACE or REPLACE COLUMNS mode, AIMMS will only remove data from columns mapped onto identifiers in your model. Rows will only be removed from the database table if all columns in the table are mapped onto identifiers in your model.
In REPLACE ROWS mode, AIMMS will remove all rows whose primary key does not correspond to an index tuple being written during the WRITE statement. Columns that are not mapped onto identifiers in your model, either are assigned their default value specified in the database, or a NULL value otherwise. As a consequence, you should make sure that all non-nullable columns in the table are mapped onto identifiers in your model (or have a default value in the database) during REPLACE ROWS mode.
AIMMS will only remove records if the selection you are writing comprises all the columns in the database table, including the set mapped onto the primary key. In this way, AIMMS ensures that no data is lost in the table inadvertently.
Filtering on records
Using the DatabaseTable interface it is only possible to filter records using simple domain conditions formulated in a FILTERING clause. For huge database tables it may be desirable to use more advanced filtering techniques designed to restrict the number of records to be transferred. This can be done inside the database application itself in the following two ways.
Create a view in the database that does the filtering for you, and then use the standard READ statement. This is the most straightforward approach, and is sufficient if the filter does not depend on AIMMS data.
Create a stored procedure in the database that can be activated through a DatabaseProcedure in AIMMS. This allows you to filter records dependent on the value of some AIMMS identifiers that are used as arguments of the stored procedure (see Executing Stored Procedures and SQL Queries). |

Frank C Kaminski, Inc.n including shipping rates.. </s> Agra: The national furor raised by the Ved Nagar ‘reconversion’ issue of over 300 Muslims in Agra is yet to settle down, when another Muslim family of 12 has voluntarily converted to Hinduism in Achhnera tehsil of Agra, changing their names to reflect their new religious identity on Christmas.
At a time when the Government of India is under pressure to explain the ‘reconversion’ movement operatedrganizations, this new reconversion in Agra could drag it down deeper into muddy waters.
Luv Pandit, a local RSS operative who claims he is inspired by the Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat said that he organised this reconversion event after the mega reconversion in Aligarh on Christmas was postponed due to political pressure. He said that he was merely a facilitator in this reconversion and it was completely the choice of Rehmat Ali to become Gatheli Ram.

en | N/A | N/A | We were in NYC last week for a few days on our way to Europe. Was it HOT! How hot was it? Our taxi driver from the airport on Saturday night said it was really hot. He was from Bangladesh! We went to a very nice concert on Sunday afternoon on a barge anchored just off the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge (bargemusic.com). It was enclosed with marginal A/C, given the 90+ F temp and 50%+ humidity. The violinist Mark Peskanov was wearing a short sleeve shirt. By the intermisson, he was thoroughly soaked and was in another shirt after the intermission. I talked to the cellist, Robert DeMaine (principal of the LA Philharmonic) at intermission. I asked him about the heat and humidity effects on his cello. He said that he was protecting his 1680 something Strad and put it back in its case during the intermission.
Last Saturday was a beast in NY metro. Temps north of the city were in the 94-98 degree F range, but with the humidity, it was real feel of 112-116. We are normally a little cooler where we are, north of the city, near the Hudson, lot's of trees 'n stuff, but it was just brutal. There were certainly days I remember when the measured temp in Manhattan exceeded 100 degrees F, but this felt hotter. The weather here has been pretty volatile for the past couple weeks, almost tropical, with thunder storms periodically in the late afternoon and evening.
I remember the barge music thing. We used to live in Brooklyn Heights the neighborhood up the hill. Back then, the area where the barge was located was pretty desolate, apart from the River Cafe and a couple of other spots and apartment buildings- mostly old warehouses. Now, it is DUMBO, and very chic. We left Brooklyn when you still had to apologize for living there- but I loved it- far more funky than Manhattan, great food- from Italian to Jamaican, some cool vestiges of the old NY, including Gage & Tollner, a throwback to the gaslit era of NY. Don't really get to Brooklyn much anymore, though we head out tomorrow early for a day of record shopping in Neu Brooklyne- I have a visiting record geek from NOLA here- he's used to nasty hot, humid weather so this is almost a break for him.
Enjoy London. I've always found that city fascinating, but I think it has become way more interesting in the last twenty years or so. Ever go to Ronnie Scott's?
Its been brutal in Reston va. this summer too. Heat index when we got to Lyle lovett concert at Wolftrap was 108, temperature 97. Almost as bad for Wynton marsalis friday. Nice today though. |

"New" ways of scrapbooking are emerging (hello "pocket" scrapbooking). Is this really scrapbooking?
Yet, with today's technology, more photos are being taken than ever before. It has been decided that the next generation of women, i.e., my daughter, have no desire to scrapbook. If you ask to see photos of her son, she'll whip out her iPhone and scroll through hundreds of pictures. I'm the one making his scrapbooks!And...she loves them...but doesn't want to make ot!I am still not happy about the magazines. There are some good online stores but there is something so fun about shopping for goodies-that is for sure!
I feel your pain!I too am making scrapbooks for my son/DIL. I've even made a mini album & given to her-it sits empty in her house somewhere!Losing our stores is a hard hit. If Hobby Lobby ends up closing-I'm going to cry!I guess like quilting-we'll take our talent to the grave!
By day, I am a part-time Administrative Assistant and by night I am an avid scrapbooker, photographer, card maker; in general, a paper crafts aficionado.

en | N/A | N/A | We aren’t talking about preparing bug-out bags for the end of the world. On-Demand security issues encompass a whole host of issues, big and seemingly small, that can spell disaster for a business. A company embarking on a fast and furious growth program using an On-Demand business model without proper precautions can find itself in a world of hurt. For starters, bad press is painful and litigation can be deadly.
An effective HR program implemented earlier in Uber’s growth could have pre-empted the numerous On-Demand security issues it has faced. That includes independent contractor vs. employee status lawsuits brought against it – in California, Massachusetts, Canada, and the United Kingdom say nothing of those to follow. Despite raising over $60 million, Homejoy was put out of business for this same basic issue. Uber and others have also been hit by numerous wrongful termination lawsuits, harassment, and discrimination suits, too.
The faster you intend to grow, the greater your need will be for an HR Program. This is true whether you intend to hire your own employees or work with independent contractors. What a proper HR Program gives you is advanced preparation to prevent, contain and respond to all manner of volatile personnel problems – that’s a long list.
Roughly 67% employment cases are decided for the plaintiff.
The median a.
So, simply by avoiding one lawsuit, your HR Team is likely to pay for itself.
It’s generally accepted as optimal for most HR departments to have one staff member per 100 employees. Some companies have taken to having only 1 or 2 HR Specialists while merging some HR duties with managerial responsibilities. For this reason, it is better to focus on having an HR Program and not necessarily an entire department.
One vital component of such a program is an Employee Handbook to detail the companies policies, code of conduct, infractions, disciplinary processes and actions, remedies, etc. This, along with managerial training, helps to assure that everyone is fairly and consistently treated according to a due diligence process.
In addition to the four major reasons for employee lawsuits (Harassment,n) HR is also concerned with conducting background checks. Background checks are a preventative measure to screen out individuals bringing a higher risk of unacceptable behavior and related issues. SurWhile background checks do not stop tragic incidents from happening, they go a long way to reducing their frequency. In today’s world, that is a subjective issue because it can take just one high-profile news story to create insurmountable problems for a company.
Compare that with Uber’s original and early-term driver requirements – where virtually none of these were required. As Uber began to experience problems with the behavior of some drivers, it began to tighten up by performing background checks of its own. There are numerous types of background checks, ID verification, sex offender search, state and federal criminal watch lists, etc. What you might need may run from $10 – $200. That adds some financial and administrative overhead, but it pales in comparison to the costs of a bad hire or bad contractor.
Tragic as these events are, having no safeguards puts companies at risk. The impact for a company is vastly reduced when it is able to show a due diligence effort for consumer and public safety. Without a due diligence effort, your keeping the doors wide open for problems to happen.
That so many On-Demand businesses have faced so many lawsuits is not an issue with the On-Demand business model. It has more to do with the relative lack of experience people have in trying to rapidly create an economy of scale. Mobile apps can and do automate many work processes and business functions, but they cannot do everything. Yet. Even big, established companies like Amazon can occasionally find themselves the victim of trying to cut corners – as it has in adopting the Uber model for its Amazon Prime Now delivery drivers.
A Human Resources program is a company’s buffer working to prevent all manner of problems that can lead to civil suits, courts, bad press and massive settlements. There are occasions where service providers and employees may demand more than the company can provide – and may sue anyway, but the HR Program provides management and ownership the opportunity to resolve matters before they get out of hand. Equally important, Human Resources helps to protect service providers and employees from the potentially unlawful whims of unscrupulous executives.
There are so many seemingly hidden aspects in Human Resources that it can be easy to dismiss its importance to a rapidly growing On-Demand company. The mobile tech goes a long, long ways to making On-Demand possible, but People are still responsible for making it happen.
On-Demand Security issues require professional background checks – one of the functions of an HR team. |

en | N/A | N/A | As someone with ADHD who has trouble being tidy for 2 days and has a load of bad childhood experiences due to being messy, believe me, the prospect of cleaning my room did not excite me. But hey, as JP says, there’s nothing easy about anything worthwhile and if I can’t even clean my damn room, there’s really no hope for me. It’s going to be a Sisyphean effort, I thought, resentfully, with gritted teeth. So being the master procrastinator that I was, I cast about for shortcuts and hacks, and found KonMari. And like most self help books, she promises lasting change (and I’m not saying all of these books are lying. Reading that in every book just makes you a bit cynical, that’s all). Whatever. If there’s some method out there to promises to make tidiness a bit less like pulling teeth, I’m giving it a shot.
2. To do so, categorize our belongings and sort through them one category at a time. Trust your feelings. Keep only those that you really like (Spark Joy).
3. It’s going to be hard, but it hurts a lot less than we think it’s going to, after it’s done. We won’t miss most of our stuff. Not at all.
It actually does make life easier. For one, you know where everything belongs. But what if you can’t remember? Labeling.
I’m not the world’s neatest person still, but I know that if I ever want my room to be neat and pleasant to spend time in, making it happen is almost as easy as snapping a finger. Cleaning my room no longer induces stress and horror, and as a result, I just… do it. Maintenance is, of course, required. Life is suffering and resting on your laurels is asking for trouble, but for the price of less than 15 minutes a day of putting stuff where they belong, your room can be sparkly.
Not at all, actually. Your mileage may vary on this one, but after taking the plunge, I don’t even remember what I got rid of. That’s how much I didn’t need them.
I thought long and hard about why that is. Do we anthropomorphize our objects? I think we do. And when I throw away my stuff, especially if I bought them unthinkingly and they have been left unused for years, I do feel I owe them something. An apology perhaps. Especially if the object I’m getting rid of is a stuffed animal. I actually have this strange feeling that they’re alive somehow, and Kondo gets it. She recommends covering their eyes. That idea still makes me clam up as somebody who is completely defenseless against cute things. So in conclusion, do it if you must. It’s really not as strange as it sounds.
How long did it take? How much effort was it?
During the process, my room was occasionally a mess. A real mess. And that’s a downside I just had to live with. But she advocates doing it as fast as possible, whenever you can spare time, and I can see why; you just lose steam if you drag it out. For me, it was relatively easy because I only had to take care of my room. I can’t comment on how it will be for you, but I don’t regret it at all. |

The biggest drawback to the homegroup seems to be its scalability. My guess is you'd saturate your networking infrastructure when you use more than ten client computers in a workgroup. The synchronization traffic would definitely be huge, unless Microsoft uses torrent technology to seed the data and Block level synchronization technology like DFS-R.
Another drawback would be power consumption. To benefit from distributed data, the data first needs to be distributed. Two machines in each homegroup need to be turned on and connected to the network for data flow.

Windows Home Server is designed to save your a** in your home network by automatically making backups of connected clients and sharing all your favorite data through an extendable framework of add-ins.

The preliminary homegroup feature of Windows 7 might be very appealing to business users that grow beyond the limits of one system, but cannot afford to buy a server yet. The benefits of the server-less domain outweigh the disadvantages by far, as long as Microsoft implements the feature well enough. |

en | N/A | N/A | Fox News reports a magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck in remote western Nevada early Friday, according to the U.S. Geological Service, shaking people from Utah to California — and some pointing out it happened near Area 51.
The temblor was reported at 4:03 a.m. about 35 miles outside Tonopah, just east of the Sierra Nevada range. First recorded as a 6.4 earthquake, the USGS later upgraded it to a 6.5 magnitude.
The initial quake struck about 4.7 miles deep, the USGS said, and at least six sizable aftershocks were recorded shortly thereafter, including two with estimated magnitudes of 5.4. The USGS has advised that Nevada will continue to experience more earthquakes than usual as aftershocks continue throughout the day.
Initial reactions to the earthquake were largely humorous. Most people in the area were still asleep, meaning the earthquake woke them up.
A good number of reactions, though, noted the earthquake originated around the infamous Area 51, spurring a number of jokes that the earthquake was caused by aliens. In a year that has already included a pandemic, the threat of murder hornets and heightened hurricane activity, an Area 51 earthquake seemed to be fitting.

en | N/A | N/A | NEW YORK — Doc Rivers’ focus is on transforming the 76ers into NBA champions.
The new Sixers coach has a knack for focusing on what’s ahead and rarely looks back on accomplishments. But the 59-year-old Rivers reached the milestone that would put a smile on any coach’s face.
“You know it’s a great feeling,” Rivers said. “You know I don’t count, and it’s not why I coach. But it’s an honor and it tells you I had a lot of success. It also says I ha around me as well.”
Joel Embiid, Seth Curry, and Ben Simmons had big hands in helping Rivers get the victory.
Simmons finished with 15 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocks. But his biggest accomplishment was his defensive effort on R.J. Barrett. The second-year guard, coming off a 26-point effort in the Knicks’ opener against Indiana, finished with 10 points on 2-for-15 shooting. He shot 11-for-15 against the Pacers.
But this night was about Rivers.
Rivers’ playing career spanned 13 years with Knicks, and San Antonio Spurs. But his love for what he’s doing has kept him in the business.
Looking forward, Rivers feels like he has a lot more to do.
Saturday night’s focus was on shaping a new road identity.
Excluding games in the NBA bubble, the Sixers had a disappointing 10-24 record on the road last season. They lost 10 of their final 11 road games before the NBA shutdown in March due to the pandemic.
On this night, the Knicks (0-2) weren’t expected to provide a lot of resistance.
Even if the Knicks were healthy, very few people — if any — expected them to beat the Sixers. That’s because one of the things Philly has mastered is beating New York. Saturday’s win marked their 13th straight victory over their Atlantic Division foe.
Now, Rivers is 98 victories shy of surpassing Rick Adelman (1,042) for ninth place all-time. That shouldn’t be a problem for Rivers, who inked a five-year deal with the Sixers. He will move ahead of Adelman and Larry Brown (1,098, eighth) over that time if he averages only 41 wins a year.
Don Nelson is No. 1 with 1,335 wins. Lenny Wilkens is second at 1,332. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich, who took 1,278 into Saturday’s game against the Toronto Raptors, is third.
Popovich and Rivers are only active coaches in the Top 10.
Rivers’ most successful coaching accomplishment was leading the Celtics to the 2008 NBA title. But during his first season of coaching, the Magic made 47 transactions and had only one player ranked among the league’s Top 200 players, according to Sports Illustrated. That team finished 41-41, and Rivers was named coach of the year.
That was a successful season and an enjoyable one for the coach. So was the Clippers making the playoffs two years ago without any All-Stars.
But what he takes most from coaching are the relationships he’s built.
“From all the coaches that I’ve had, including one here,” he said of Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau, who was one of his Celtics assistants. “To all the players who are now coaching, like Ty Lue and Sam Cassell, sitting next to me, James Posey and[ESPN analyst] Kendrick Perkins.
“I have a lot of great guys around me, you know players and coaches. I’m just a lucky man that I’ve had those opportunities.” |

en | N/A | N/A | Senator Reed (who I’m beginning to suspect may not have read my letter) either has an understanding of Net Neutrality that’s so flawed as to be ironic, or, he is baldly promotingts dismantling — in direct opposition to the interests of his constituents.
Look, I have lots of respect for honest intellectual conservatism, and I understand and share the fear of giant, non-transparent governments. I’m no fan of fascism, authoritarianism, or really any kind of autocratic government that isn’t The Philosopher King’s Benevolent Monarchy. I believe the absolute freedom of the individual is our most fundamental modern right, and anything infringing on it requires overwhelmingly demonstrable proof of its necessity.
Protecting the freedom of corporations to restrict the freedom of our citizens is an irony of astounding myopia.
A free market REQUIRES REGULATION TO OPERATE. The game-theory incentives of a truly free market are for the top players to collude, force out competition, then drive up prices. ALL unrestricted markets devolve into MONOPOLY, ALWAYS. If you stand to benefit from that system, as Congressman Reed does, and your principles are only skin-deep, self-serving lip service, as Congressman Reed’s are, then hey, who cares?
But if you care about justice, or kindness, or the collective human trust that is placed in the hands of a public SERVANT, then you care.
As I’m sure you can tell, this is not just about New Neutrality. This is about an entire civilization’s tipping point of no return. It’s about what we could be, versus what we are, and what we are becoming. Intere, and it isn’t the public; worse, they see the public as something bovine, undeserving of empathy, something to harvest. But as that public growsit’s possible the day of their disgrace is coming. For their sake, for all our sake’s, if tForgive me my malice, Mr. Reed, but on the off-chance this does make it to your desk, I hope you choke on your next ill-gotten check as it’s crammed down your insatiable, still-slurping throat. The choking would not stop the slurping, I’m sure.
But for you, Intern, all I can say is question everything. Nobody has a premium on absolute truth, not your boss, not your boss’ boss, and certainly not me. It’s up to you to bring the servant back to public servant. Someone has to be the seed. If the corporations aren’t pried off the head of our democracy soon, they will devour the host; and this 200-year experiment of by the people, for the people, will fall finally to its ruin. If you aspire to a place of rulership in the new aristocracy of that old world order, then goodbye sweet Intern, and God save your soul.
But if you aspire to a better world, one constructed in the very face of the supra-national powers that rule us — If you aspire to preserving and fulfilling the promises of actual freedom and self-government made at the signing of our incredible constitution, well, you have my email address.
I’ll be here, swallowing my vomit, husbanding the last of my compassion, cupping my calloused hands around the flickering, fading light that was the birth of this beautiful republic. |

en | N/A | N/A | Gary Bracken: Nice to see ‘Big Boy’ admired in Greeley
Opinion | December 1, 2019
I have had two personal experiences with the Big Boypent the summer of 1953 in Cheyenne, Wyo., working at the Union Pacific Round House and shops.
As a union member your name went onto the extra board so whenever extra help was needed at the shop from time to time, if your name was at the top of the list, you would be called in for an extra shift and time and a half pay.
One afternoon, I was called to go in at midnight and work as an extra until 8 a.m. I reported for work, was introduced to the skilled man I was to work as a helper for, and he asked me if I had ever worked at whatever job we were to do that night.
Then he said, “Sit here until I come back to get you and don’t let anyone take this engine while I’m gone.” At five minutes to 8:00 a.m., he returned and climbed up into the cab and looked around.
Welcome back, Big Boy!

Patricia Califana: Welcome, Red Sea Restaurant |
en | N/A | N/A | From day one, it's prudent to care for your skin. Obviously this is the responsibility of your parents for several years, and then it's passed on to you. If I could go back to about age 13, I would start taking better care of my skin early on. I didn't begin until I hit age 18. Fortunately I was never afflicted with bad acne or rosacea. These skin conditions can really take a toll on your complexion. So, how is your mug treating you these days? Or what I should be asking is how are you treating your mug? With care and patience I hope. For those who have had skin conditions in the past, there is contemporary laser skin treatment to better your situation. Are you ready for some resurfacing?
We are very luck in this day and age. There are so many treatments, therapies and remedies at our disposal. If you've got the extra cash, you can get a little pampering. Modern-day laser skin treatment is a primary example of this. This is one of several different ways you can improve your skin's texture. Does it sound like a procedure you may be interested in? All it takes is a trip to the dermatologist. With laser skin treatment, a laser light is used to heal and smooth out problem areas. The difference is astonishing. This goes the same for other new-age treatments such as microderm abrasion and chemical peels. It's imperative to converse with your local dermatologist regarding each of these options, prior to treatment. Maybe the one you're considering is not truly the one you need. Let a professional offer his/her opinion on the matter.
Some of the current facial resurfacing procedures are not as pricey as you may think. With laser skin treatment, you will have to find out what the local rates are. However, in my experience, microderm abrasion commonly runs between 100 and 125 dollars per treatment. This is certainly one of the most highly recommended facial treatments now days. It's virtually safe and has no after effects. You can literally walk out of the clinic or spa looking refreshed and amazing. It's time you took great care of your complexion. You only get one! |

The conviction that the body is self-healing and “there is no error in the universe” liberated me eventually from hypochondria, though I had liberated myself from doctors in my fifties, after a doctor said to me, when I’d come to him with some complaint, “What do you expect, you’re over fifty.” I hardly saw a doctor for decades after that, and used my common sense and folk remedies with my ailments, until in my eighties, I gave in and returned to a doctor’s care.

If I don’t post to my blog today, I will have only have done so twice this year, back in January. I’ve done a fair amount of writing this year, for myself and some for pay, but I’ve not posted to my blog with any regularity.
Parenthood. At best, it’s magical. At worst, it’s an exhausting drag. Blogging about it can make one look like an ungrateful ass. “Today little Jimmy had a tantrum in the store.” How many times can I write about what a jerk my kid can be without me looking like the jerk in question? Are we allowed to call our kids jerks? If not, why? I also refer to him as a “precious gift from heaven.”
This fall brought some new material. My son, who is not named Jimmy, started kindergarten and with that new adventure has come more material for Papa to use in his writing. If only Papa would sit down and crank out a few essays, or even a few paragraphs.
I’ve decided to use this space for writing that is not always dedicated to parenting. Under the banner of “Papa Says So” I intend to broaden the scope a little and include writing and topics that might fall outside the purview of papa-ness while still entertaining “all y’all”.
Writers write. That’s what I’m going to do. Follow along if you’d like. </s> Welcome to the home of the Patchwork Sheep

en | N/A | N/A | Hiking From Mexico to Canada in Ongoing Journey Back to Good Health
Home/The Big Play/Floor began smoking weed and using alcohol early on in high school. Then he started using mushrooms, ecstasy, and pain pills to get the high he wanted. By 17 years old, he was taking pain pills on a daily basis. He came to find that using pain pills everyday was expensive, so he switched to heroine. He smoked heroine for three years and then he began injecting it. Shortly after that, he reported that he started to shoot speed balls, which is a mixture of coke and heroine.
“When I started shooting heroine, my life went into an out of control tailspin,” Floor said. “I had no grasp of reality. I hopped on a Greyhound bus to Las Vegas, and I was homeless for three months. I was panhandling. I literally slept under a bridge on a sidewalk. I looked like a homeless bum. I ate out of trashcans. I searched through the trash trying to find anything of value. It was just a miserable, miserable existence. Eventually, I got a bus ticket home and then I was homeless in Salt Lake for another two months by choice. I had a home I could go back to, but my parents were putting a cramp in my using, so I couldn’t really go home.”
Floor said that his parents and his two sisters took much of the blows that came from his drug habit.
“Honestly, I put my family through more than I put myself through just because I was numbed out pretty much 90% of the day,” Floor said. “They were the ones that really suffered through it all.”
After the Floor’s realized what was going on, it didn’t exactly get easier.
“It made our family feel alone and secluded from the world becausethis, when in all reality, many other families were experiencing the same burdens,” Stephanie said.
(L to R: Andrew, Chris, Kathy, Stephanie, and Alexis)
“It was almost like a spiritual experience. I was able to see my life from a third person perspective,” Andrew said. “The next day, I asked my parents for help, and I was in detox that same day on the long road to treatment and relapses, and more treatment and more relapses.”
During one of his stays in rehab, Andrew was taking a smoke break in between group sessions.
“I was talking with this guy who told me that his buddy walked from Mexico to Canada one summer,” Andrew said. “I was like ‘Woah, woah, woah! What did you just say? Somebody just walked from Mexico to Canada?’ He started telling me about it, and I didn’t even know that there was a trail and people did that. At that time in my life, I was so down on myself. I needed something to kind of latch onto. It was just a really depressing time of my life. I needed something to keep me going, and that was it. There was no real logic behind it. I was just like, ‘I have to do that.'”
Floor set off on the Pacific Crest Trail last April to travel the 2,680 miles on foot. It took him five months and 10 days to travel from Mexico to Canada, going though California, Oregon, and Washington.
“There’s so much going on inside your head,” Andrew said. “You’re literally hiking from sunup until sundown. There’s only so much you can talk about in that time. A lot of the time, it’s just you and yourself. It’s broken up by the occasional spectacular view or feeling of accomplishment, but there’s lots going through your head like relationships back home and wondering about what you’re going to do when you get done.”
“Me and my buddy I started with, we’d get on the subject of family or something,” Andrew said. “One day I was talking about my parents and he was talking about his parents. We got on the subject of money. He was talking about how he owed his parents some money, and I was like ‘Dude, if I count up all the treatment that I’ve been to, I’m in the hundreds of thousands of dollar range. There’s no way I’m going to be able to pay my parents back for that.'”
“When you’re out there with that amount of physical exertion everyday on top of being mentally exhausted, it brings deep emotions to the surface,” Andrew said. “I was feeling so much guilt and shame. We just stopped and made camp right there for that night because I just started sobbing. I’m so grateful right now. My parents extended their working careers by years. They used their 401k to put me through treatment, really. That hit me really hard. I called my parents and I talked to them. They eventually told me, ‘Well, we’ve done exactly what we wanted. We paid to get our son back, and now we have him, and that’s all we could ever hope for.'”
Andrew drew several parallels between his rehab journey and his adventure on the Pacific Crest Trail.
“First of all, it reminded me of how resourceful I am, and I’m super resilient,” Andrew said. “I don’t need hardly anything at all to survive. Really what it comes down to is food, water, and shelter. The rest of the stuff is really just a luxury. I also learned in my recovery to live one day at a time, live 24 hours at a time. When I started hiking, I was really forced to live that. It’s hard to live that way. When you’re hiking that far, it’s really detrimental to even think of the next week because that’s a long ways just like it is in your journey through sobriety.”
The parallels didn’t stop there.
“He mentioned to us that there were times while he was hiking that he would hike up a mountain and come to a ridge and look out into the valley and it gave him a “high” like he would have with drugs,” Stephanie said. “He realized drugs aren’t the only way that can make him feel the euphoria the drugs gave him, which gives him hope for the future…He seems to know himself, which will help when he has a craving or a depressing moment. He will know how to deal with it naturally versus with drugs. I believe this is the key with addicts. ”
“It looked like a human footprint, but it was pretty big,” Andrew said. “At least a size 16. It was in the middle of nowhere. It was like 35 miles to the town ahead of us and about 45 miles to the town behind us. It’s a barefoot footprint. I was so cold that I had every piece of clothing on me from my backpack and I was still freezing. I just don’t see how anybody could have been running barefoot. It’s hard to say what it was, but it is Bigfoot Country, you know?”
Once Andrew finished his hike, he appreciated the accomplishment and his family noticed changes in him, but he was also in search of more.
“The changes I saw in Andrew when he came home were very obvious,” Stephanie said. “At first he had a very hard time integrating back into society and normal life around humans versus nature. He said being in a large crowd made him nervous. Once he was able to return back to normal every day interactions, he was much more grounded and level headed…When he came back he was in a mind set that he didn’t even need modern day luxury’s such as electricity and running water. He seemed more at peace with himself.”
This week, Andrew will set off to hiIt will be another five to six month adventure.
“Right now, I’m stressing out about just getting to the trailhead because I had this brilliant idea to hitchhike to the trail,” Andrew said. “It sounded really cool when I first came up with the idea, but now it’s coming down to the wire, and I’m worrying about it.”
Once Andrew gets to the trailhead it will once again be about finding that pocket of comfort in discomfort.
“I think the hardest part about this trail is the distance between towns is a lot shorter, so if you choose, you can go into towns every two days,” Andrew said. “That actually is hard because it takes you out of the mindset. You go into town and get even a soda pop and enjoy the luxuries of civilization. It’s just easier to stay out on the trial to stay in the mindset.”
“There’s so much satisfaction that comes out of being 100% self-sufficient,” Andrew said. “Everything you need is on your back. For me, being satisfied is kind of important. Honestly, if I was miserable day after day, I would probably start using again. I didn’t get sober to hate life.”
“One of the best summers I’ve had in my whole life is hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. I’m kind of addicted to it. I met so many cool people and have so many cool stories. I fall asleep at night thinking about it.”
“Now years later and lots of therapy sessions, it ,” Stephanie said. “We were forced to talk about problems and issues that we would have just brushed under the rug. The experience was traumatizing, yet it made us all stronger and able to deal with problems in a more rational and level headed way, and we all have the tools we need to deal with this IF it ever happens again. They say that an addict is never recovered, but always in recovery.”
Andrew is taking the necessary steps, both literally and figuratively, one day at a time to get to know himself better and understand his worth. He’s traveling trails that have been pounded for years, but he’s blazing his own trail in his own life, and doing it drug-free. That’s the best luxury right there.

en | N/A | N/A | Daniel Seavey Questions Idol Fan Save In American Idol Elimination By: Matthew Boyer | April 6, 2015 at 3:15 PM EDT
That said, Seavey felt the new voting system was a “good test run.”
“I think the fan save is a good idea. It gives a second chance [for the two singers] to prove themselves, and America can show who they really like. It needs a little work, but it’s a good start.”
What do you think? Is the Fan Save a good idea? Did Daniel’s chances on American Idol fall victim to this new twist? |
en | N/A | N/A | Years ago, when he lived in Italy, he visited the same forest between Ravenna and the Adriatic coastline where a century and a half before Byron and Teresa used to go riding. Somewhere among the trees must be the spot where the Englishman first lifted the skirts of his eighteen-year-old charmer, bride of another man, to find her warmth, willing, wet. He could fly to Venice tomorrow, catch a train to Ravenna, tramp along the old riding-trails, pass by the very place. He is inventing the music (or the music is inventing him) but he is not inventing the history. On those pine-needles Byron had his Teresa - 'timid as a gazelle,' he called her - rumpling her clothes, getting sand into her underwear (the horses standing by all the while, incurious), and from the occasion a passion was born that kept Teresa howling to the moon for the rest of her natural life in a fever that has set one David howling too, after his manner.
Teresa leads; page after page he follows. Then one day there emerges from the dark another voice, one he has not heard before, has not counted on hearing. From the words he knows it belongs to Byron's daughter Allegra; but from where inside him does it come? Why have you left me? Come and fetch me! calls Allegra. So hot, so hot, so hot! she complains in a rhythm of her own that cuts insistently across the voices of the lovers.
To the call of the inconvenient five-year-old there comes no answer. Unlovely, unloved, neglected by her famous father, she has been passed from hand to hand and finally given to the nuns to look after. So hot, so hot! she whines from the bed in the convent where she is dying of la mal'aria. Why have you forgotten me?
Why will her father not answer? Because he has had enough of life; because he would rather be back where he belongs, on death's other shore, sunk in his old sleep. My poor little baby! sings Byron, waveringly, unwillingly, too softly for her to hear. Seated in the shadows to one side, the trio of instrumentalists play the crablike motif, one line going up, the other down, that is Byron's.
'Lucy says you are back in town. Why haven't you been in touch?'
'I do not wish to talk to you. Do not call here again.' and with that he hangs up. Punishment enough ? Perhaps. Go, live with Lucy, let me be. He is not in the mood to entertain the hollow pretense of the heady, intelligently, ellaborately stupid woman. Let others teach her, if they wish, he's well and truly done. But has he ever tried ? He does not care if he did. Whatever it was that he had done, sufficient or otherwise, is what he's done. If it was not enough -- that's fine. There is not another portion, neither in the offering nor in the making. Rosalind is, practically speaking, dead. At least as far as he's concerned.
In her white nightdress Teresa stands at the bedroom window. Her eyes are closed. It is the darkest hour of the night: she breathes deeply, breathing in the rustle of the wind, the belling of the bullfrogs. 'Che vuol dir,' she sings, her voice barely above a whisper - 'Che vuol dir questa solitudine immensa? Edio,' she sings - 'che Sono?'
Silence. The solitudine immensa offers no reply. Even the trio in the corner are quiet as dormice. 'Come!' she whispers. 'Come to me, I plead, my Byron!' She opens her arms wide, embracing the darkness, embracing what it will bring. She wants him to come on the wind, to wrap himself around her, to bury his face in that sweet hollow between her breasts. Alternatively she wants him to arrive on the dawn, to appear on the horizon as a sun-god casting the glow of his warmth upon her. By any means at all she wants him back. Sitting at the piano he harkens to the sad, swooping curve of Teresa's plea as she confronts the darkness. This is a bad time of the month for Teresa, she is sore, she has not slept a wink, she is haggard with longing. She wants to be rescued --from the pain, from the summer heat, from the Villa Gamba, from her father's bad temper, from everything.
Yet despite occasional good moments, the truth is that Byron in Italy is going nowhere. There is no action, no development, just a long, halting cantilena hurled by Teresa into the empty air, punctuated now and then with groans and sighs from Byron offstage. The husband and the rival mistress are forgotten, might as well not exist. The lyric impulse in him may not be dead, but after decades of starvation it can crawl forth from its cave only pinched, stunted, deformed. He has not the musical resources, the resources of energy, to raise Byron in Italy off the monotonous track on which it has been running since the start. It has become the kind of work a sleepwalker might write.
He sighs. It would have been nice to be returned triumphant to humanity, the author of an eccentric little chamber opera. But that will not be. His hopes must be more temperate. He goes out, finally, for the first time since his return. Out to a dating bar, the sort of place where present-day, living Teresa would go, to find herself... a partner, maybe, for the night. A partner in crime, a Byron on the cheap. He pays for a drink he does not finish, can't force himself to sit through. Out the door he breathes in, hungrily, the free night air. He wanders around town, following unawaredly a large U-shaped pattern around the campus.
Eventually he's tired ; he doesn't want to admit it, but he is. He slumps his body on a bench, seating halfway, and at that moment, just as he's sitting he sees her. Blonde, hair in a tail bobbing to and fro. Well rounded rump, strong thighs. A pretty, a proud and pretty young Dutch girl. She's jogging, she's keeping her body in shape, keeping herself in shape. She goes around in the distance, and then comes close and passes him by.
A strange familiarity, evoked in his memory maybe by her scent ? Maybe the movement, a line in her step, something about this girl reminds him of something, long forgotten, something from his past. As he's wallowing on the pond of reminescence, vaguely, disinterestedly fishing in, feeling around without much eagerness for whatever old, disused, undesired boot might come back hooked on the line, she turns, still jogging. A comedic little run, purposefuly, directly towards him. Once two paces off she stops, and smiles.
"Hello" he offers, neutrally. Has anyone yet been mugged by a jogging adolescent girl ?
"Are you the Professor ? David Lurie ?"
"I'm not a professor now, anymore."
"You don't remember me, do you ?"
"I was in your class. Also I tried to interview you."
"I was there, too, but couldn't make it through to really talk to you."
"There was a little crowd, wasn't there."
"You said you were enriched."
He looks at her, blankly. What a way to go, sparing non-verbally with the 2nd echelon WARchivists. Does she have a baton somewhere ? Spirits and a match, maybe ? Where'd all that be, she's a creature of spandex, her outer skin clings desperately on the skin beneath, where could she possibly hide a baton ? Up her ass, maybe. That'd still look somewhat penile... he checks, there's nothing there, his eyes perceive nothing asked of the elastic besides what a girl's pubis might in fairness demand.
"I didn't understand it, at first. Then I had to look it up."
"I've read all your materials, too, since then. About the poets. And..."
He looks up at her, incredulous. What is this girl gibbering about ? "What is your name ?" he inquires, blandly, trying to somehow make heads or tails, maybe perhaps take back some measure of control over the situation.
"I'm Amanda." she proffers, joyously, almost giggling in excitement. The professor asked her a question, and she knew the answer! The professor gave her a way out of awkwardness, past the ellipsis, something to talk about.
"Nice to meet you, Amanda." he retorts, neutrally.
"I... I..." she attempts, blushing by degrees. "How are you getting along, sir ?" she inquires, her face almost scarlet red, her voice transcribing a meekness of such superlative degree he can't summon to memory its equal, or a contender, even.
"More or less. I was away, visiting family for a few months. Now that I'm back I see life's been carrying on, taking care of itself without me. They've hired some intolerable young snot to go through the motions of sitting at my desk ; they broke into my house, took all the supermarket fare, the worthless stuff, packaged foods, electronics... the rural thieves of East Cape took my books along with the consumabilia at least ; but then again those were already in the car. A pigeon at some point got lost inside, and passed on, by itself, in my sink."
She follows him, fascinated, eyes bulging and opening wider by degrees, as he speaks. She swallows, hard, a big thick knot in her throat. 'I'd like to... Can I come clean it up for you ?'
He walks back to his place with Amanda. He's pretty sure now she was in Melani's class. He somewhat less vaguely remembers her ; more of a woman than "his little upstart", back then, certainly now. About as quiet, about as... Much scarier, truly, which is ultimately, if he dare be honest, a large part of the reason he didn't serve Eros upon her. He could have picked either one, why that one and not this one ? He feared this one ; he still, in some sense, in some corner does. "Take off your clothes. You'll shower when you're done."
His words fall definite, absolute. He speaks without turning, he's headed for the cleanning supplies. Behind he hears the rustle of compliance. As he returns and confronts the nude girl, bolted in place, he can't shake the image of Lucy. Ankle socks, the differentiator between town and country ; his own daughter, naked, much heavier, but the same skin. The same bones. She quietly, with eyes downcast, takes the things from his hands and scurries about. He sits in his favoured armchair, looking through things, past things. Thinking. He's not writing a book, he's not working for his class tomorrow, not trying to summon arias or arguments. No more Gordian knots of cognition, great mysteries framed s'as to be found out. His erstwhile life of the mind, meanwhile absorbed in a minding of life. "Where action ceases, thought's impertinent..."
The water runs, and then it's done. Amanda emerges from the light in the bathroom into the darkness of the livingroom. She's dripping wet, her figure cut out of light into the dark around, glistening. She closes the distance in a panther sprint, and the next moment she's cuddling herself in his arms, liquid. He grabs her by the hairs on the back of her head and kisses her ; soon he's bulging painfully and they have to rearrange, to reconfigure themselves toward his accommodation. She has a place prepared, she has a place ready for just such an occasion, and he takes his room in her, of her, comfortably. With slight movements of her strong hips she caresses him inside of her, slowly, delicately. He loves feeling the muscles underneath tense and do their work, precise, deadly. He rests his arms about her neck, left palm wrapped around to the left. His left, her right, left thumb touching under her chin, where life springs, pulsing on his fingertip. His right palm wrapped around the right that is her left, his right thumb on the pulsing vein that is her life. Her life, still.
He proceeds to squeeze, by degrees. Slowly, delicately, deadly like her hips. She breathes heavy at first, moving stiffer, then she puts her hands on his wrists, not in opposition, more in nude, meek display. "Here are my hands" she doesn't but as well might say, "Resting on yours ; do as you will." He whispers in her ear, toridly, heavily, in resounding sybillants "Shhh... passss out. Tassste the water... let it washhhh over you... The dark water, of your death."
Her movements are now jerky, desperate. Her breath, once bated, is now stopped altogether. He squeezes still. She gives a little, barely audible, barely perceptible whimper. She's resigned. To him it's deeply reminiscent of the dogs. Familiar, now. Familiar, in the family way. He, who for a while was the dog's psychopomp, their undertaker, the harijan. He. Once David the boy, for many, many endless years David the boy. But then, the dog man, and now simply the man. By his experience with the dying dogs slowly chiseled, perfected, completed, David the man. Of the tiny motes of their canine honor, that even as he protected, awkwardly, as best he could, following a barely understood strain of deep need deeply inside, yet wholly and fully, lovingly were protecting him, rounding him. The gift of dogs, boyhood's oldest, truest, and these days only friend. Of their muddy, animal souls, too heavy, unbuoyant, nevertheless lightnening his. Of their negligible, imperceptible honor rounding his. David, a man of honor now, impervious to death, ready to kill.
He spends his rich, royal gifts inside her, generously spreading, coating her womb, coating the still present womb of the recently, momentarily departed. She isn't here, now. He is alone. As he does also he lightens the grip on her throat. He watches the rose rushing to return into her pallid cheek. Her heart beat, more effectual, more far reaching than before. A little nothing, a pretty head again reunited with its pulse from before. She'll open her eyes in a moment, questioning, horrified. He'll coo and comfort her, in a woment. Usher the little girl into womanhood, like it's been done so many times on the endless face of endless earth, like he's so recently learned to do. Another girl dead, another woman born, the great flywheel flies on.
"You're mine, now" he says, looking down at her. A prisoner, released for now, her life still his, to snuff out when he please.
"Yes I am." she whispers, with her heart, as for the rest of her life she yet will.
« Disgrace - His spell with Lucy
Qntra (S.QNTR) December 2016 Statement »
The original ending, as penned in 2016, read
He sighs. It would have been nice to be returned triumphant to humanity, the author of an eccentric little chamber opera. But that will not be. His hopes must be more temperate: that somewhere from amidst the welter of sound there will dart up, like a bird, a single authentic note of immortal longing. As for recognizing it, he will leave that to the scholars of the future, if there are still scholars by then. The proposition seems altogether dubious. In any case he does not trust he will hear the note himself, when it comes, if it comes. He knows too much about art and the ways of art to expect that. Though it would have been nice for Lucy to hear proof in her lifetime, and think a little better of him.
Why does he think Lucy would think better of him ? Stale thoughts of a stale past, a stifling way of life that has destroyed his heart, eaten his soul ; that has destroyed itself, ruined its own future, eaten itself like a mythical snake. Banishing Rosalind, putting Elaine in her place, or rather graciously allowing herself to make the first, late baby steps towards putting herself in her place, none of that is enough, not nearly enough to repay, to reconcile, to redeem, to somehow reconstruct twenty six centuries of impudent girlhood permitted, unconscionably, to run amok. The damage can not be fixed. A lone flower does not make a spring, a lone woman scattered here and there on the endless plain does not make a new world.
Poor Teresa! Poor aching girl! He has brought her back from the grave, promised her another life, and now he is failing her. He hopes she will find it in her heart to forgive him.
It was no good.
In fact if one's willing to take the time and think about it, the change was unavoidable. Even back then I knew, I see now reviewing notes, that the last chapter is half-length, and the ending much too weak.
Good thing Amanda had me pick this up again.

en | N/A | N/A | the dark crevices and corners of our attic space. The little pests have interrupted our sleep for 3 nights and various sprays and repellants have seemed to do very little to dent the mozzie population. Our walls looks like a mini war zone – there are streaks of blood all over the walls!
The following day we lined up in Puivelde, a town 40km from our team house. It was threatening rain (hey, this is Belgium) but thankfully stayed dry all race. It was a similar format to the previous day: 17 laps of a 5.3km circuit. This time however it was completely flat and the roads were generally narrower.
The kermesse was a 4km circuit with a 600m section of cobbles. These weren’t of the really brutal type that we encountered in the Spring classics in April, however were energy zapping enough by the time we were onto our 10th of the total 16 laps. The peloton generally stayed together for the first half of the race. Skil Koga and Vlanderen Topsport were aggressive and managed to collect some decent money for the sprint primes on each lap.
Into the second half of the race, the cobbles created several splits in the bunch but again regrouping would occur once they were completed. By the 2nd last lap, it was obvious to us all that we were gearing up for a big bunch sprint. The finish straight was very wide but was approached by a much narrower single lane after a tight corner littered with witches hats. I had sussed out this corner on each lap, deciding on the best line and also the importance of being in the top 5. I achieved both these aims and was in a good position as Skil Koga were driving a lead out for Suzanne de Goede. She took the win and I was pleased with my effort for 5th. Getting more patient in these situations I guess.
Suzanne de Goede and Lisbeth de Voght were the remaining 2 riders and they put in an entertaining display of track stands on the last lap, neither wanting to be on the front. Eventually Lisbeth settled for the front spot, checking frequently over her shoulder. Suzanne jumped and Lisbeth was able to remain in front and outsprint her to take the win. She is obviously on form at the moment, having won the Belgian National time trial championship the previous day.
I come to Europe to race my bike and so not being able to race for such a long period is not a great situation. If I’m not racing I might as well be back at home with Dave… though, on second thoughts it is still winter in Canberra!
I travelled to Belgium in search of some racing (as I said you can enter these races without your team) and would have stayed here a little longer, competing in similar races, except the opportunity came up to join the Australian national team at a high altitude camp. Whilst I have lived for about 6 weeks at high altitude before I haven’t specifically trained up there. I decided to trial this experience for the first time and am keen to do some training with a group of Aussies.
I don’t expect internet access to be too reliable up there on the top of the world so my email and skype contact could be a little scarce. I will be back at sea level on the 1st of September, hopefully enjoying the positive physiological effects of “breathing through a straw” for 2 weeks!
Another tough stage last night with the four laps of a 25 kilometre loop around the town of Altenberg including a short (400 metre) but steep (23%) climb. Unlike the riders of the Tour de France, the women didn’t feel the need to take it easy on the final stage and raced from the gun.
Vicki’s job was to protect her team mate’s third place on GC:
The finish saw a few survive off the front of the bunch and finish in small groups of twos and threes. Vicki finished 16th on the stage but slipped one place to 8th overall. More importantly Shara Gillow retained her podium position, finishing the tour in third.
Sounds like Vicki is struggling with a cold which would explain why she has been feeling tired the last few days. Unfortunately, unlike us mere mortals, pro riders can’t just curl up in bed with a good book when they are feeling under the weather. I knew there had to be some downside to this |

Wow, I didn't even know that!
If blu-ray was actually "killing" HD DVD, why would Paramount go with HD DVD?Why would Warners stay neutral?

Faith and Film on Tap: Being “Church” Outside the Four Walls of our Buildings
How we talk with our children, young and older, about hard issues is important. In this workshop we will explore ways to create and nurture a faith environment that sustains a true exchange of ideas and supports all at the table. We’ll explore finding and using effective, realistic tools to engage skeptical young people, recognizing needs and boundaries. And we’ll talk about how these conversations can help young people find their own means of expression and action.

Walker, Lagares homer as Mets power past Phils
Aaron Bracy The Associated Press
Published 10:42 pm, Friday, July 15, 2016
Neil Walkern Friday.
PHILADELPHIA >> Neil . New York won without All-Star outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, who.
Jeremy Hellickson (6-7) was roug, which entered second in the NL in home runs, upped its season total to 124. The Mets are particularly fond of Citizens Bank Park, where they have cleared the fences 14 times in four games this season.
The Phillies capitalized by scoring three unearned runs in the frame on Bourjos’ triple, Maikel Franco’s groundout and Cody Asche’s singlee 43-year-old right-hander is 5-1 with a 2.56 ERA in his last 10 starts.
New York went in front 4-0 in the sixth on Walker’s three-run homer. It was the 16th homer of the season for the Mets’ second baseman, tying his mark for all of last season. The homer drew loud cheers from the large contingent of Mets fans, who made Citizens Bank Park sound more like Citi Field at times with their chants of “Let’s go Mets! Let’s go Mets!”
Hellickson, thought to be a pitcher a contender may consider at the July 31 trading deadline, hadn’t allowed a homer in three straight games, going 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA before Friday’s start. |

Efter branden natten den 7 oktober 1878 och renoveringen 1878–87 fick kyrkan sitt nuvarande torn, ritat av arkitekt Julius Raschdorff från Berlin. Yttermurarna kläddes med maskinslaget tegel (utom den södra väggen). Fönstren har bågar av gjutjärn. Den kopparklädda höga tornspiran från 1887 flankeras av fyra tureller och kröns av en förgylld kyrktupp.
Kyrkbänkarna installeras år 1649 och är formgivna av nederländaren Christoffer Wellendorph. Snickeridetaljerna från de äldre bänkarna återanvändes när kvarteren omorganiserades efter kyrkbranden. Från att ha varit slutna kvarter, huvudsakligen vända mot predikstolen, fick de riktning mot altaret och öppna sidor.
Predikstolen är åttkantig och den är gjord av ebenholts med figurer med kontrasterande ornament och skulpturer i alabaster, som föreställer Kristus och apostlarna, och har skapats av en okänd mästare och skänkts till kyrkan år 1660 av borgarparet Peter Hansen och Anna Stedler.
Dopkapellet ligger i sydöstra hörnet, där Tyska kyrkans äldsta inredning finns, med den rikt smyckade legationsbänken strax intill. Dopaltaret samt dopskålens sockel är från kyrkans äldsta tid och fanns redan i den första kyrkan omkring 1580. Då var ett väggepitafium med tre uppståndelsemotiv, dopskålens sockel och dopskålen av förgyllt silver. Den förgyllda dopskålen tillverkades av den stockholmske silversmeden Arvid Falk från år 1670.
Karmstolarna, som står i dopkapellet har en gång skänkts av drottning Viktoria.
Glasfönstren, som är målade är från sent 1800-tal och har utförts i München.
Vapenhuset har en programmatisk glasmålning av S:ta Gertrud med en modell av den nuvarande Tyska kyrkan och den lilla kyrkan från 1580 vid sina fötter.
En minnestavla finns vid västra väggen över den tyskfödde källarmästaren Peter Hinrich Fuhrmann, som byggde om det Ehrenstrahlska huset vid Svartmangatan 20-22. Det huset fick sitt namn efter konstnären David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl från Tyskland och som slog sig Sverige och hade stor framgång bland annat som porträttmålare. Han blev adlad Ehrenstrahl. Peter Hinrich Fuhrmann testamenterade sitt hus till Tyska S:ta Gertruds församling och Tyska kyrkan, där det således finns en minnestavla över honom. En minnestavla över den framgångsrike 1700-talskrögaren finns också på väggen i det Ehrenstrahlska huset.
Ett epitafium över Peter Heinrich Fuhrmann finns också i Tyska kyrkan.

Home/Uncategorized, Writing A Resume/Is Your Resume YOURS?
a) Borrow your friend’s amazing resume.
b) Search the internet and find a well-written sample.
c) Use a template found on your computer.
d) Hire a certified professional resume writer.
d what you offer an employer?
The first three will help you get the resume you need quickly but option D is the only one that will help position you as a top candidate for the position you are seeking. Why?
A. Your friend’s resume was created for your friend and shows their skills and abilities.
B. Samples show a carefully fictionalized version of someone else’s strengths, traits, experiences and personal brand. There is no way it can communicate YOUR value because it wasn’t created for you. Using a sample as a resource is ok but simply replacing names, titles and a few entries is not. Another downside to using a sample as your own is – you have no idea how many other job seekers have copied that very same document.
C: A template is a great way to get started. It familiarizes you with what you should include on your resume but it also locks you in to a preset format and will not s and abilities. Your resume should reflect you and not be a one-size fits all template.
Using a friend’s, a sample, or a template may seem like a great idea; however, the outcome may be a stalled job search with no interviews which is totally opposite of what you are hoping to accomplish.
D. Engaging the services of an experienced, Certified Professional Resume Writer will help give you an edge in your job search. An experienced resume writer will know a resume and will help you define, position, and promote your job skills in an accomplishment and keyword rich format.

Eskom’s revenue application was R279bn, excluding RCAs.
NERSA’s approved allowable revenue is R250bn after considering adjustments for inefficiencies. Eskom’s original application was for 14.58% and NERSA approved 3.49%, excluding RCAs.
Eskom awaits the reasons for the decision that will provide further details on how the revenue determination was arrived at.

Eskom responded by commending the regulator for making the revenue determination timeously as it will now.
Eskom had made its Multi-Year Price Determination (MYPD) 5 revenue application to NERSA on 2 June 2021 for the FY 2023 to 2025 in accordance with the prevailing NERSA methodology, as published in 2016.

Eskom successfully reviewed this Energy Regulator decision in the High Court with regards to FY 2023.

Give your letters an outline allowing the letter "B " to connect to the letter "M." Remember to keep your arm pretty loose to create flowing lines. Adjust your design as you move along creating the outline. This is a good time to correct any mistakes you think you may have made. Feel free to have fun with it.
Now pull out your black marker or Sharpie and begin to trace over your outlines. Use a heart to form the center of the letter "B." Continue to keep your hand and wrist loose to help with the flow of the letters. You can also use a heart for the dot on the letter "I" and make a heart for the center of the little letter "e."
Now you can clean up your pencil lines with an eraser.
I am coloring my design with a colored pencils but you can use almost anything such as marker, crayon, or pastels. Begin by coloring your "B" and "M" letters all with one color lightly. I am using red. Then come back and darken the edges.
You can use similar colors such as purples or pinks to fill in the other letters. Remember to begin with light shading and then come back and darken the edges. Leave the top edgeslighter than the bottom edges to create a shine as shown in the pictures and video.
