We have a problem. A big problem. An issue that directly affects roughly half of the world’s population and that indirectly affects 100% of it. Stated simply, the problem is that we, as a global business culture, do not know how to maximize one of our greatest resources: women. The even bigger problem is that most of the world’s business leadership is in denial about this fact. Recruiting and retaining female talent should be the number one item on every CEO’s agenda.
It’s important that to highlight the specific angle of this article. While the moral issue of diversity is clearly important, the moral discussion is not the purpose of this article. The purpose of this article is to focus on the effect that the gender gap has on businesses and their bottom line and to identify what challenges or barriers companies face in closing that gap and retaining female talent.
The Business Case for Investing in and Retaining Female Talent
So, let’s begin by asking ourselves the big question: Why should companies invest in retaining female talent?
Well, first and foremost, because diversity within an organization affects the company’s bottom line. Yes, that’s right. It is an accepted fact, based on numerous studies, that businesses that have women in the highest echelons of their organizations perform better than more male-dominant companies.
Ban Ki-moon, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations, references in his 2014 article Equality Means Business a study showing that among Fortune 500 companies, the companies with better representation of women in management “delivered a total return to shareholders that was 34 percent higher than for companies with the lowest representation.”
Among Fortune 500 companies, the companies with better representation of women in management “delivered a total return to shareholders that was 34 percent higher than for companies with the lowest representation.”
Likewise, a McKinsey analysis found that gender-diverse companies are statistically 15% more likely to outperform their less diverse counterparts in achieving above-average returns. A particularly interesting finding of this same study is that in the UK, for each 10% rise in gender diversity among senior executives, EBITA increased by 3.5 %.
Grant Thornton, in their research on the value of diversity in business, highlight that companies listed in the UK, US and India that have male-only boards are “foregoing potential profits of $655bn.” How’s that for bottom line?
If studies then show that the greater the diversity in a company, the more profitable that company is, what are the specific factors that make this true? Why is it that more diverse companies are more profitable? Here are three potential reasons:
1. Two heads are better than one.
2. Women are more highly educated
3. More diverse organizations attract better talent
Two heads are better than one
Global organizations face global problems, and the more diversity of perspective a company can pull on to resolve these problems, the better their chances of making correct conclusions and sound decisions to solve them. It is precisely the variations in perspective that permit companies to approach problems in a more comprehensive fashion and to improve their decision-making.
Sacha Romanovitch, CEO of Grant Thornton UK LLP, on the subject of their research, states “We know that businesses with diverse work-forces can outperform their more homogeneous peers and are better positioned to adapt to a rapidly changing global business environment. Within the context of increased uncertainty and complexity, firms must resist group-think and welcome a range of perspectives in order to grow and meet the challenges of today.”
While the value of diversity in decision making applies to diversity across the entire human spectrum, the gender gap is a clear one that represents half of the population. The inclusion of women at senior executive levels is a clear, and easy, win for most organizations.
Women are more highly educated
PwC has been doing some exceptional work in diversity research, particularly in the area of female millennial talent. In their 2015 study, the authors highlight that, in addition to the fact that we are experiencing a historically unprecedented number of women entering the workforce, these female Millennials also boast better formal qualifications than males in the same generation.
Women now form the majority of the university population in 93 countries (as compared to the male majority in only 46 countries) as female enrollment in universities has increased almost twice as fast as that of males since 1970. Female millennials “earn more bachelors’ degrees than men and have the edge over men of 56 to 44% in masters’ degrees. Female millennials matter because they are more highly educated and are entering the workforce in larger numbers than any of their previous generations.”
Female millennials “earn more bachelors’ degrees than men and have the edge over men of 56 to 44% in masters’ degrees.
While this study specifically refers to millennials, born between 1980 and 1995, it is a safe assumption that it is in the interest of any organization to attract the best talent possible as regards education. This shift from men to women as regards educational preparedness for the workforce should, therefore, also encourage a mindset shift for recruitment in our organizations.
More diverse organizations attract better talent
The makeup of the workforce has changed, and while organizations are making long strides to adapt to the needs of today’s workers, there is still a way to go. The reasons that people join stay or leave a company have changed over the last generation, and businesses must be conscious of these reasons. To attract the best talent in the workforce, it’s important to know the worker.
As the focus here is female talent, some of the areas cited as most important for women are outlined here so as to encourage increasing gender diversity in a way that is tangible for all talent.
Competitive salary: In the same study previously referenced by PwC, the top reason women would leave their current employer is finding a job that paid better elsewhere, at 43%. While the gender pay gap is difficult to measure, it is a fairly well-known fact that it exists. Looking at the EU as a whole, in 2015, women’s gross earnings averaged 16.3% lower than men’s. In the US, the pay gap is 20% lower for women than it is for men.
Since, as a general trend, women are paid considerably less than their male counterparts, it is only reasonable to expect female talent to be more inclined to move companies in a continual attempt to put a crack in the glass ceiling and to improve their own economic well-being in an environment that is negatively biased (whether implicitly or explicitly) against them.
Carrying out a review of the gender pay gap in your organizations is an important first step to ensure equity in this area, and to help attract the best talent, female or male.
Work-life balance & flexibility: PwC’s research indicates that work-life balance and flexibility are valued highly by Millennials regardless of gender, with 97% of millennials (male and female) stating that this was important to them. The same study also debunks the commonly accepted myth that most women who leave their current employer do so to start a family. Interestingly, only 19% of millennial women stated this as a reason for leaving an employer, and, interestingly, 18% of millennial men stated this reason themselves. Women rank work-life balance and flexibility as the second reason they would leave their current employer while starting a family, ranks sixth (for both men and women).
Career progression opportunities: PwC also found in their research that 32% of women would leave their current employer due to lack of opportunities to progress in their career trajectories. This study divides female talent into three segments dependent on their work experience: career starters, career developers, and career establishers. Both career starters and career establishers named opportunities for career progression as the most important employer trait, while all ranked the lack of progression opportunities as the most likely reason for leaving an employer. An astounding 53% of female millennials find this the most attractive characteristic in an employer.
Some interesting research by LeanIn.org and McKinsey finds that, despite the fact that career progression is the most important aspect of an employer for women, they are 15% less likely than men to be promoted from within. To deepen the paradox further, women in leadership positions are much more likely to stay with the company than men. At senior VP level, women are 20% less likely to leave, and at C-suite they are roughly half as likely to leave as men.
Another commonly held myth is that women with children are less interested in working toward achieving higher positions, but this study shows that women with children actually are 15% more likely to want a senior executive position than women without children.
This data provides a clear rationale for organizations to review their promotion policies to retain female talent, particularly at higher levels in the company.
Both men and women value diversity: The research and consulting firm, Great Place to Work, have been able to demonstrate that employees look at their work environment, colleagues and superiors and that they internalize that view. If they see themselves in that image, they derive from it a sense of hope that their ideas will be respected and heard, which in turn nurtures the commitment they hold to the organization, helping organizations to create formidable teams to enable growth and progress.
Additionally, a Catalyst.org study looked into how men and women valued diversity in an organization and found that there were no significant differences between them. Both women and men value diversity in an employer.
The Road Ahead for Female Talent
It’s not only about attracting female talent to your organization but all talent. Increasing female representation in all areas, particularly the higher ones, of your business will only help you to do so.
The profitability and, in the long term, the survival of companies will ride on their ability to commit to diversity and inclusion. Making concerted efforts to close the gender pay gap, launching flexibility and work-life balance initiatives for all employees, and ensuring internal promotions are carried out with gender equity are some of the measures that organizations can begin to implement to ensure they thrive in the modern global business environment and well into the future.

Increasing numbers of women are becoming involved in strenuous exercise programs. While older studies did not find any major deleterious effects of exercise on reproductive function,1-3 more recently such effects have been recognized. Amenorrhea,4-6 shortened luteal phase,7 and delayed menarche8-9 have all been reported. It is clear from the article by Frisch et al in this issue of The Journal (p 1559) that premenarcheal exercise can influence the timing of menarche; but in general, little is known of the short-term and long-term consequences of exercise on reproductive function in women.
Just what is it about exercise that can delay menarche and result in amenorrhea? Dr Frisch and her colleagues suggest that an altered lean-fat ratio might be the key mechanism responsible for the delay in menarche in young athletes. Since it is thought that conversion of androgens to estrogens occurs primarily in peripheral fat, an alteration

As we move into a new decennary, the market for off-site industry ( OSM ) is spread outing quickly in order to run into the ever-growing demand for lodging in the UK and has initiated a alteration in to a more holistic attack to the whole edifice procedure ( ModuleCo 2010 ) .
There are assorted definitions used to find what OSM really is and its procedures but it is widely accepted that its merely a term used to “ depict any building procedure that is carried out off from a edifice site, such as in a mill or in a specially created impermanent production installation near to the building site ” ( Riley, M. & A ; Cotgrave, A. 2008 ) .
OSM is n’t needfully a new construct in the building industry and has been used for many old ages as a agency of supplying sustainable lodging that is realistically corruptible to a diverse terminal market ( Kelly, R. 1998 ) .
Even back in the early 1900 ‘s, the construct of OSM was being pushed for by certain constructionists as an option to the dearly-won traditional edifice methods possessed during these times. The celebrated German designer Walter Gropius ( 1924 ) stated that “ aˆ¦the existent solution is that houses should non be built at the site, but in specialized mills ” ( Sullivan, B.S. 1981 ) . As can be imagined, ‘sustainability ‘ was an unheard and unknown of entity back so.
After World War II, OSM was used to replace the many places that had been bombed. The UK authorities implemented system constructing re-using inexpensive war stuffs such as aluminum to construct the lodging as a quick and easy erected remedial solution ( Womack, J.P. et al 1990 ) . These houses subsequently became known as ‘flatpack ‘ lodging ( WW2 Talk 2010 ) .
However, despite the benefits to the public brought by these houses, there was still a stigma environing their business. This is still made evident presents with a bulk of pre and post-war lodging nicknamed ‘tin-houses ‘ or ‘tin-towns ‘ ( Ireland, B. & A ; Turnball, D. 2006 ) . Although their expected design life was merely 10 old ages ( Gibb, A.G.F.1999 ) , many still stand today in metropoliss such as Birmingham and London.
Figure 1 ( below-left on following page ) , shows a image of the ‘pre-fab ‘ Catford estate, South-east London during the 1960 ‘s ; long after it was expected to last ( WW2 Talk 2010 ) .
Figure 1 Beginning: Bell, R. ( 2010 )
Figure 2 ( below ) , shows how the Catford estate looks today. Its sempiternity has led to the estate to go heritage listed ( WW2 Talk 2010 ) ; a somewhat jubilation of the exceeding architecture or historic involvement that this set of houses brings to the country ( English-heritage 2010 ) .
Figure 2 Beginning: Bell, R. ( 2010 )
Since the birth of sustainable development ( UN 1992 ) , the on-going argument as to whether it forms an of import portion of the sustainable building docket has continued till nowadays. Reforming the building procedure through OSM is seen more of a challenge to the populaces ain positions than it is to the systems environing sustainability ( Ireland, B. & A ; Turnball, D. 2006 ) .
There is an ever-growing population in the UK, particularly within urban countries. The demand for lodging presently outweighs the concurrent supply and the pressing demand for excess development is evermore pressing. At present, the expected alterations in human ecology of population are projecting a demand for 4.5 million new places in the following 10 old ages ( Barker, K. 2003 ) . However, during such tough economic times, the feasibleness of fiting the demand with current economic resources is improbable to run into the development rates required.
This is where OSM is sold as the reply to all of the building industries jobs ( Kelly, R. 1998 ) .
Many inquiry OSM ‘s ability to salve the lodging market but there are strong counter-arguments for following its method due to its benefits in footings of production, efficiency, quality and sustainability ( Ireland, B. & A ; Turnball, D. 2006 ) .
The environmental impact of lodging is going an progressively of import consideration for developers and factors such as ; pick of stuffs, method of building, its business, life-span and what happens after its life are all the cardinal elements that OSM tries to let for in its sustainable attack to mass production ( ModuleCo 2010 ) .
An estimated 10 % of all edifice stuffs that are delivered to site for the usage of traditional building travel to blow through non being used ( McMullan, R. 2002 ) . This is an highly big per centum of waste that is lending to the industries un-sustainable end product ; the rate to which this can be avoided without drastic alterations being put in topographic point is comparatively unforeseeable due to its market germinating around a non-static data point. The volatility of this waste addition is spread outing due to greater steps of sustainable control and waste decrease ( across all markets ) ( Riley, M. & A ; Howard, C. 2002 ) .
OSM techniques environing the usage of more efficient stuffs and supply concatenation direction will besides help a far less uneconomical building procedure ( Riley, M. & A ; Cotgrave, A. 2008 ) .
The increased usage of OSM promises to decrease such deductions through greater accent on the procedure and whole-life public presentation of lodging. This can be achieved through enhanced specification criterions and build quality to relieve term of offices related to energy usage, defects and fixs ( Davis Langdon & A ; Everest, 2004 ) .
Egan ‘s study “ Rethinking Construction ” ( 1998 ) called for a more standardized procedure and off-site pre-testing to advance a simple repetition construction in quality built lodging ( Egan, J. 1998 ) .
Due to tight quality control tolerances required by mill mass or/and batch production ( UNFCCC 2009 ) , the environmental public presentation of OSM lodging is significantly improved through greater energy efficiency with respects to higher degrees of air stringency ( infiltration ) therefore increasing thermic public presentation of the edifice ( ModuleCo 2010 ) . The lower running costs that are hence adopted in bend release less C emanations. With the authorities scheme for all new physiques lodging to be zero-carbon by 2016 ( DCLG 2007 ) , the acceptance of OSM could be seen as a chief participant for accomplishing such program.
This besides complies with PPS1 ( Planing Policy Statement 1 ) 2005 of which sets out the authoritiess overarching be aftering policies on the bringing of sustainable development through the planning system ( DCLG 2005 ) .
The increased usage of vehicles that would be required to pick up and present stuffs would look to equilibrate out the decrease in on-site emanations if OSM were to be used. However, ‘ModuleCo ‘ say “ one time the edifice has been delivered to site, a decreased figure of vehicular visits is required ( compared to traditional methods of building ) , thereby doing less environmental impact on site ” ( ModuleCo 2010 ) .
Any local environment perturbation such as noise pollution, dust and general on-site nuisances that would hold occurred during traditional building is besides eliminated ( Myers, D. 2008 ) .
OSM houses can be genuinely sustainable edifices and can be reconfigured to run into the changing demands of the end-user. Throughout the lifecycle of the edifice, constituents such as floor layouts, proviso for services and divider assembly can be reconfigured to suit the householders demands. This increased flexibleness allows for pre and post-site refits without the clip consummation and cost that is required with traditional building ( ModuleCo 2010 ) .
The edifice life of OSM lodging is technically eternal as the stuffs used in its fiction can be removed or repaired ( more likely to be removed ) and merely replaced with a pre-fabricated constituent of the same nature ( Womack, J.P. & A ; Jones, D.T. 2001 ) . Any changes or amendments that are desired are normally accommodated for by OSM developers so that when necessary, refitting and recycling the edifice provides an environmentally friendly, truly sustainable solution that is future cogent evidence ( Kelly, R. 1998 ) .
Most constituents of OSM lodging are to the full reclaimable and hence can be re-used even in a different signifier and for a different intent ( Taylor, G.D. 2002 ) .
The gait of development in OSM is increasing with bing participants adding capacity and new participants come ining the market such as Laing O’Rourke and Corus ( Davis Langdon & A ; Everest, 2004 ) .
In Europe, IKEA have already teamed up with Skanska to make the OSM lodging construct ‘Boklok ‘ which means ‘Live Smart ‘ in Swedish ( Slavin, T. 2001 ) .
Its design evolves around supplying an optimal “ space-saving, functional and high quality lodging at a monetary value that enables every bit many people as possible to afford a fashionable and comfy place ” ( Boklok 2010 ) .
Figure 3 ( below ) demonstrates an alive image of the internal envelope of a typical equipped Boklok house.
Figure 3 Beginning: Instablog Images ( 2010 )
It has already evolved to presently make markets in 5 different states: Sweden, Great Britain, Finland, Norway and Denmark ( Boklok 2010 ) .
Recent undertakings in the UK include one and two sleeping room flats in St James, Gateshead ( pictured below ; Figures 4 and 5 ) .
Figure 4 Beginning: Boklok ‘b ‘ ( 2010 )
Figure 5 Beginning: Boklok ‘b ‘ ( 2010 )
In the UK, there has been already a reasonably important rise in OSM execution and big developers seem eager to accommodate to the construct to widen and foster their market pitch ( Ireland, B. & A ; Turnball, D. 2006 ) .
Redrow are already in the procedure of seeking to pull 1st clip purchasers with their latest construct, the new OSM ?55k house ( Figure 6, below-left on following page ) ( BBC, 2005 ) .
It was sited in Wales and its frame was erected out of chiefly steel. The foundations were the lone component required to be formed on-site. In regard of smaller designs such as 1-bedroom flats, the existent physique clip was a mere 3 hebdomads. However, it was noted that for a similar merchandise utilizing traditional methods of building, the OSM house really cost somewhat more ( BBC, 2005 ) .
A digital image of the complete undertaking
Figure 6 Beginning: BBC ( 2005 )
Their latest invention has been repeated in Rugby, where monetary values start at a mere ?50k ( Building, 2008 ) . Figure 7 ( below ) shows an illustration of one of the completed endeavors.
Figure 7 Beginning: Building ( 2008 )
At present, there is a existent demand to kick-start the lodging industry that will conform to the sustainable issues presently being addressed, the inquiry is, is OSM the manner to make it?
With a limited array of new signifiers of lodging that conform to the whole ‘sustainable development ‘ , OSM appears to most surely tick a bulk if non all of the boxes branched from it. Its execution has already spread outing to an extent that it could be defined as “ development that meets the demands of the present without compromising the ability of future coevalss to run into their ain demands ” ( Brundtland, G. 1987 ) , of which is a existent case in point set by many states in the universe to adhere us all together in one common impression.
The general consensus is that the UK building industry needs to put more into research and development ( R & A ; D ) if OSM is to win as it has in states such as Japan ( UNFCCC, 2009 ) . Approximately 20 % of Japans lodging is pre-fabricated and their several investings in R & A ; D have allowed them to use OSM as such a big part of the market sector ( Ohtake, F. & A ; Shintani, M. 1995 ) . To distinguish the graduated tables in which Japan and the UK operate is exemplified with the recent statistic that Japans taking lodging developer invests more into R & A ; D than the full UK edifice research budget ( Justlanded 2010 ) .
However, it needs to be borne in head that where and how OSM is enhanced dramas an highly of import function in the long term success of the construct. Careful analysis is needed to guarantee that a repetition of pre-fabricated lodging like in some parts of eastern Europe is avoided to forestall the formation of ‘slums ‘ , therefore weakening the publicity of sustainable communities through a sustainable signifier of building ( NHF 1997 ) .
If OSM is successful and the portion in the market it possesses expands, the ability for developers to run on minimal capacity due to pre-fabrication of merchandises in factory-controlled conditions ( Myers, D. 2008 ) will convey possible jobs to the concern stakeholders. The more than probably ensuing redundancies or cut-backs of work forces begs a hard yet needed inquiry, do we desire to be let go ofing employees into a clime where unemployment is already high?
It is slightly niche in its sustainable end product as it is hard to to the full specify as being either sacrificial to the people at present or the future coevalss.
Although the usage of simple pre-fabricated constituents has increased in most sectors in the industry, the indorsement for excess incorporate OSM systems has been more mutable ( Davis Langdon & A ; Everest, 2004 ) .
Without raised consciousness and a alteration in attitudes towards sustainable lodging as a whole, its version to the private lodging edifice industry will be unsure as the “ premium building costs of OSM are hard to warrant in a market focused on location and monetary value instead than quality and life-time public presentation ” ( Davis Langdon & A ; Everest 2004 ) .

- Bob Log III phone home: The extraterrestrial of the blues puts on the suit and sweats.
Bob Log III is a one-man blues explosion who specializes in raucous Delta twang played through cheesy pawn-shop amps. He filters this devil's music through a primitive rock sensibility and accompanies it by singing into a telephone receiver affixed to a motorcycle helmet, which he always wears with the visor down. Log completes this ensemble with a resplendent Knievelesque homemade jumpsuit, with little mirrors glued down the sides of the legs and arms.
This costume, eye-catching as it is, is just a speck of space dust in the cosmos of weirdness that is Bob Log III. Talking on a cell phone from a rented Blazer on the road to Vancouver, Log says his stage show has its origins in Chuck Berry's duck-walking theatrics and a certain Australian hard rock band with a schoolboy-uniformed guitarist. "Everybody has to do something now; you can't just sit there and play," Log explains. "That's not rock and roll anymore. I gotta put on the suit and sweat. I grew up listening to AC/DC. It pretty much ruined me. Funny suit, lots of sweat."
You won't find any Bob Dylan or John Prine lyrical philosophizing in the zany R-rated content of his songs. It's beside the point anyway, as Log's live vocals often come spewing out of his helmet as garbled as a transmission from outer space.
That hasn't stopped another singer with indecipherable lyrics from becoming a big fan. During a recent interview with Time Out London, Tom Waits did a little Log-rolling on behalf of the weird Arizonan, who he says is something of a soul mate. "It's just the strangest stuff you've ever heard," Waits said of Log. "You don't understand one word he's saying. I like people who glue macaroni to a piece of cardboard and paint it gold. That's what I aspire to, basically." For as bent as Log's records are, though, his heated slide guitar playing and stripped-down blues are infectious, ass-quakin', and oddly appealing in all their eccentric earnest.
Log records for Fat Possum, a Mississippi label with a roster of great, decadent blues players such as R.L. Burnside, T-Model Ford, and Akron's Black Keys. These practitioners are known for the gutbucket style of northern Mississippi blues that provides the soundtrack to tiny rural juke joints, where the focus is on keeping the crowd drinking and the butts wiggling. Log's live performances do both of those things, but his blues also has a punk energy and edge more akin to Detroit's Bantam Rooster and Alabama's Immortal Lee County Killers.
Log says the early blues masters were punks in their own way. "I want to remind people that when Robert Johnson or Charlie Patton was playing in a tiny little dive bar, it wasn't a bunch of people sitting around drinking coffee, wearing berets, listening to a Fender Stratocaster with perfect tone," he says. "It was a beat-up old acoustic guitar, people kicking their tables over, spilling their drinks, and possibly putting a boob in the scotch."
A boob in the scotch? Here we enter the topic of mammalian protuberances, one of Log's favorite talking points. Granted, on his debut, School Bus, it was booty that held his fascination, as odes such as "The Land of a Thousand Swirling Asses" and "Pig Tail Swing" attest. However, his second record, Trike, found Log moving northward on the female anatomy to the area that still fascinates him. Among Trike's highlights were such titty ditties as "Booby Trap" and "Clap Your Tits," which featured a pair of "professional women" putting their breasts to use as a rhythm section. "Boob Scotch" continues the theme on his current CD, Log Bomb, which also finds him exploring horniness in more general terms on the songs "Drunk Stripper" and "F*hole Parade."
But we digress. "Boob Scotch" is, as you might expect, a lesson in mixology, but also much more than that. The BS recipe calls for a woman to dip her breast into a glass of scotch and then give it up to Log. "I've had a boob scotch every single night [on this tour], except in Tacoma," Log says with pride. "Everywhere I've been, somebody has put a tit in my drink. That's the song I wrote and the whole idea of the tour; this is the Boob Scotch Tour. That's my reason to wake up."
Before making a living intermingling breasts and the blues, Log was once half of the duo Doo Rag with percussionist Thomas Malling. When Malling quit in the middle of a tour, Log finished the dates as a solo act. The helmet dates back to his first gig alone. He didn't have a drummer and didn't know what the hell he'd do, so he hid behind the helmet and kicked his guitar case for rhythm. "It seemed to work OK, so I did it the next day," Log explains.
To hear Log tell it, he's a quintet by himself. Onstage, he introduces his band as "left foot" on cymbals, "right foot" on bass drum, "left hand" on picking, and "right hand" on strumming. In the audience-participation segment of the show, he augments this lineup by inviting women to sit on his knees, while he rips out his distorted licks and screams his rubber-room take on the blues into his telephone mic.
The contagious energy of Log's music translates across international borders. Japan, where he records for Sony, has gone whole hog for Log. He's toured the country over a dozen times and keeps up an additional website in Japanese. It's about the lyrics, you see; few Japanese care that they can't understand what he's saying. "I wouldn't say my band -- me -- centers on the lyrics," he says in an epic understatement. "I'm all rhythm and ass-shakin', no matter what's going on. You can tell what's going on without having to study the words. It's music to shake your ass to and smile so much that your face hurts."

Last week my wife and I rented a cabin in the Sierra Nevada foothills for our vacation. Of course, we brought with us our adventure dog, Nova.
One of the activities we looked forward to the most was hiking up in the Sierras around Lake Tahoe. I’ve hiked there a good deal, both the Tahoe Rim Trail and Desolation Wilderness, but I didn’t know any shorter hikes suitable for dogs.
Here are four excellent dog-friendly hikes, complete with stats and maps.
1. Lake Margaret
Length: 4.7 miles
Elevation gain: 760 ft
Type: Out and back
Trailhead: Lake Margaret Trailhead
The trailhead fills up fast, so get there early. There are no restrooms at the trailhead.
The trail descends over a rocky surface down to a beautiful meadow along Capels Creek. We stopped to fish for a while and caught a couple small brookies. There were mosquitoes, but they weren’t bad.
The trail climbs over a rocky ridge from the meadow and then drops back down to a small pond. From there, it follows a creek with thick vegetation until the last scramble up to the lake.
The last climb is the only slightly tricky climb of the trail. Our Aussie was able to do it on her own, but you may need to help smaller dogs in some sections.
Lake Margaret has a rocky shore to the east and offers several sweet spots for lunch. People were jumping off the cliffs to go swimming. Nova also went swimming.
The Lake Margaret trail was busy on a weekday, but not crazy. We were able to find a private, secluded spot for lunch.
2. Winnemucca Lake from Carson Pass
Length: 4.7 miles
Elevation gain: 790 ft
Type: Out and back
Trailhead: Carson Pass PCT Trailhead
There are two PCT trailheads at Carson Pass. The trail starts at the southern trailhead. Parking is $5, and there are restrooms.
The trail starts out in a pleasant forest, passing a small pond. It’s a constant slight incline all the way to the lake, but it never gets too steep.
After a while, the trail breaks through the trees into low shrubs. There are beautiful wildflowers if you do the hike in June or July. The level vegetation lets you take in the full view to the west, with Caples Lake in the distance.
The trail passes Frog Lake (you might miss it on the way out as it’s behind you), then forks from the PCT towards Winnemucca Lake.
There are several good spots for swimming and lunch along the lake. The lake has small brook trout as well if you’re into fishing.
This is a very popular hike, so expect a lot of traffic and not a lot of solitude. Get there early as the parking lot fills up quickly.
3. Twin Lakes and Island Lake from Wrights Lake
Length: 6 miles
Elevation gain: 1,300 ft
Type: Out and back
Trailhead: Twin Lakes Trailhead
Turn off Hwy 50 to Wrights Road and follow it for 9 miles to the trailhead. The road is narrow and rutted, but ok with a standard car as long as you keep your eyes open and avoid a few bigger ruts.
The trailhead parking lot fills up quickly. We were greeted by a sign telling us to park at the overflow lot and hike in. It’s a one-mile flat hike from the overflow lot to the trailhead. Parking is free at the overflow lot, $8 at the actual trailhead. There are restrooms at the start of the hike.
The trail starts out along the edge of the marsh surrounding Wrights Lake. After about a third of a mile, it starts climbing up toward the lakes over large granite rocks.
The climb offers beautiful views but can be hot as there’s very little shade on the way up. About halfway, the trail crosses a small creek where you can fill up on water if needed.
Be sure to keep your eyes open for cairns and marker rocks on the granite, the trail can be easy to lose at times.
There are several great spots for swimming and fishing along the lake. The trail to Island Lake crosses the lake outlet and becomes rockier as it ascends the last 200 feet to Island Lake, passing several small ponds.
Island Lake is different than Twin Lakes, with a more vegetated shoreline. When we were there, the rangers had put out gillnets in the lake to remove all fish to save an endangered frog species.
The Twin Lakes trail was our favorite of the hikes. Although it was reasonably popular, we could still find solitude and enjoy the lake in peace.
4. Winnemucca Lake and Round Top Lake from Woods Lake
Length: 5.3 miles
Elevation gain: 1,410 ft
Trailhead: Woods Creek Trailhead
This is an alternate to the Winnemucca trail from Carson Pass. It’s less crowded and visits two lakes. I definitely recommend it over the alternative if you’re up for the extra climbing.
The parking is $8, but you can park for free a bit farther, on the other side of the bridge. There are restrooms at the trailhead.
Going clockwise, the trail starts through an open forest, crossing a few tiny streams. After a while, the forest gives way to lower brush and views. If you do the hike in June or July, there are lots of wildflowers.
We stopped for lunch at Winnemucca lake, letting Nova swim. The lunch allowed us to break up the climb into two parts, making it more manageable.
The trail climbs another 500 ft to a small pass from Winnemucca Lake before descending to Round Top Lake. The second lake is shallow and has thick willow along much of the shoreline, making it a bit more challenging to reach for swimming or getting water.
Round Top Lake was absolutely packed with people. We found a small grove of pines along the lake that gave us a bit of solitude for a coffee break.
From the lake, the trail descends through meadows, then forest back toward Woods Lake. About halfway down, you pass an old mine and the remnants of an old truck.
You’ll see Woods Lake below you as you descend, but the trail doesn’t pass by it unless you take the spur trail to the campground.

Psychiatric Patients and the Inner City
Dear, “Psychiatric Patients and the Inner City”, Annals, Association of American Geographers, 67(4), 1977, 588‑594
Inner portions of North American cities may be becoming the location of an asylum without walls for psychiatric patients discharged from mental hospitals. This trend represents an organic outgrowth from the moves to diminish the role of the mental hospital and to encourage a community‐based mental health. Discharged patients are comparatively mobile and a large proportion of them filter through urban space to an inner city location. This is a result both of formal placement procedures and of an informal process of spatial filtering within the inner core.

Rainbow Girls at The Music Room, Ipswich 13 September 2015
Still buzzing from the musical high provided by the Rainbow Girls at Norwich Arts Centre a few days earlier I could not resist another dose of rainbow colour, positivity and Californian sunshine with the girls playing just across the border in Ipswich close to the town’s impressive waterfront development.
A grey and damp afternoon rapidly cleared to some gorgeous sunshine as we approached the venue but being somewhat early headed for a bite to eat on the waterfront, serendipity working in such a way that the Girls all had the same idea to eat at the same place at the same time, so it was really a nice surprise to see them and catch up before the gig.
It’s a nice setting, especially with the sun setting behind the beautiful ship masts.
Just up the road is the Music Room, previously a nightclub I believe, it has been recently converted to a live music venue. It has much potential with a decent stage area and dancefloor. It had something of The Talk feel about it to me (but could certainly do with some ales at the bar amongst all the draught lagers, as could The Talk but that’s now what drew the comparison).
The Sunday night audience was markedly different from that at Norwich the previous week and I sensed most of the audience were seeing Rainbow Girls for the first time but the girls quickly weaved their magic and people were soon coming closer to the stage and getting into the wonderful music.
I was pleased to hear a couple of not often heard tracks amongst the set list, and also for the appearances by Luc on trumpet for several songs, who was given the honorary name of Lucille and variations upon it whilst he was a “Rainbow Girl”.
He was onstage for the superb No Women Allowed, Caitlin reeling off her favourite bands when she was growing up, with women not in any of them. Most of these bands I can detect influences of in their music and in fact at the mention of Louis Armstrong Luc dropped a few impromptu notes from What a Wonderful World into the song. Interestingly, as an aside as this list of favourite bands is almost identical to my own it made me think about my current favourites in this context and I’d say a huge proportion of the acts I love best who are active now have at least one woman in their number, this year, several of my favourite gigs have been either by solo women, male and female, or all girl bands, Rainbow Girls being the notable one and I really admire the way they get their messages across. From recent gigs Milly Hirst, The Vagaband, Rope Store, Morganway, Emily Winng, Miss Mute, Danni Nicholls, Handsome Family all spring to mind. Look out too for new Norwich band Graceland, another bunch of strong girls, only two gigs under their belt so far, the first at NAC and their second at the weekend … Bestival!
Many higlights in the set, of course No Women Allowed, Naked Song, Yuba (with its sweet reference to Cheyenne) Rosewood Guitar and Tin Tang Game from the first album, plus Can We Keep This Love Alive, It’s Alright, Don’t Let Me Down, Labradorite, Daydreamin’ and George Lassos the Moon which always reminds me of that incredible gig at the Ten Bells a couple of years ago … one of, if not the favourite gig I’ve experienced due to the people, the impact of coming across the Girls for the first time, their music, the atmosphere, and the spontaneity and serendipity of the occasion … serendipity seems to play a recurring part with them for me … I think they have magic powers!
They played two sets tonight and closed the evening coming onto the dancefloor to cover Dylan and then serenade Nikki with a delightful birthday song which totally charmed and delighted everyone.
Of course I loved both sets, the girls playing brilliantly as always and with that special, precious energy. A mix of old and new songs, some fine attitude, variations in tempo, and influences aplenty showing through, especially some Beatles touches. I love them. The music is great, the songwriting also superb and they leave one just feeling so good and alive!
The tour continues at The Slaughtered Lamb in London this Thursday.
Many thanks to Rainbow Girls, James at BHM, The Music Room, Mark the photographer who kindly took a few snaps for me on my camera with the girls, and the many kind people we met, not least those who rushed to our assistance on the waterfront when my friend’s wheelchair toppled over on our way to the venue (he was ok), and the kind chap in the venue who came over with the money said friend had just dropped, and also for the assistance in the venue. Fine ambassadors for Ipswich, thank you.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
To anyone familiar with Israel’s policies and practices in occupied Palestine and Israel itself there is little that is striking about its ethnic cleansing of Palestine—apart from how oblivious most Israelis are to it. Despite its simmering, systematic banality and barbarity, most Israelis seem to possess an uncanny knack for denying their history and present alike and simply get on with life.
___ But in Wadi Salib, a formerly affluent Palestinian neighborhood of Haifa, the wrongs of Israel’s past remain so prominently displayed that it is particularly unsettling. More . . .

[. . . .] . . . around 700,000 non-Jewish Palestinians were displaced, representing roughly three-quarters of the non-Jewish population of the country . . . These refugees left behind substantial immoveable property . . . .
[. . . .] It is disputed how much refugee property is actually in use by Israelis today because Jewish Israeli life appears to still be concentrated in those regions that were Jewish-owned before 1948 . . . around one in five Israeli citizens are Palestinian Arabs whose families either were not displaced in 1948 or were internally displaced within the borders of the future State of Israel . . . . Confiscated urban property included residential property (homes and apartments), as well as more than 8000 businesses
[. . . .] Property seizures closely followed refugee flights and expulsions through the course of the 1948 war . . . . Both the seizures and the transfers were legitimized, at least for Israeli domestic law, via legislation passed by the Knesset in 1950 . . . . Israeli authorities were often attempting to legitimize transactions after the fact. The legal regime they enacted enabled the State of Israel to transform previously Arab property into “Israel Lands” that were managed mainly for the benefit of Jews.
___ . . . even before the official founding of the State of Israel, decisions to seize refugee property were taken . . . In March 1948 . . . the Hagana created a Commission for Arab Property in Villages, and in April 1948 (following the conquest by Israeli forces of the northern cities of Haifa, Tiberias and Safad) established the Supervisor of Arab Property in the Northern District, as well as the Committee for Abandoned Arab Property.
[. . . .] Refugee property is far more likely to have been left unused in the Israeli northern and southern peripheries (Galilee and Negev) than in the densely developed triangle between Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem. However, in a few urban areas, Israelis are now living in former Arab homes . . .
[. . . .] These initial regulations authorized the seizure of any land that was “abandoned.” Abandoned areas were defined to include any area that “(1) had been conquered by or surrendered to Israeli armed forces; or (2) had been partially or completely deserted by its inhabitants”
[. . . .] Israeli policymakers found the Abandoned Areas Ordinance unsatisfactory because it did not legally permit the state to sell or transfer the seized property, and because some officials worried that it would be condemned internationally . . . . In December 1948, Israel shifted its definition of land subject to confiscation in order to appear more legally legitimate by mirroring World War Il-era British laws. The Minister of Finance issued the Emergency Regulations regarding Absentee Property, which established the basic definition of an absentee that is still in use today.

❸ PALESTINIAN ORAL HISTORY AS A TOOL TO DEFEND AGAINST DISPLACEMENT
Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network
Sep. 15, 2016
Oral history has a long precedent in Arab and Palestinian culture that stems from a broader oral tradition. 1 In the years immediately following the Nakba of 1948 the Arab tradition of the hakawati (storyteller) was used, according to Nur Masalha, to shore up a defense against erasure of culture and memory among Palestinians. Since then, oral history has served as a prominent counter narrative in the context of active settler colonialism throughout Palestine and colonialism’s afterlives in the Arab world. It is a primary method through which Palestinians engage collective events of trauma or mobilization. More . . .

Periodization effective way to prepare for golf season
By: GRADY BROZYNA MSPT, OCS, COMT
Residency & Fellowship Trained in OMT
Shore Orthopaedic Physical Therapy
Summer is here and I am sure you prepared your golf bag. But how are your rotator cuffs, hip joints and spinal discs?
If you have not been preparing for the past four weeks, then they are not ready for that first tee giant swing to impress the foursome. You are also at prime potential for injury and poor performance. But don’t fret: it’s never too late to ready the body.
Strength and conditioning coaches use what is called periodization to prepare athletes. This breaks down the year into three main categories: Offseason, preseason and in season.
Periodization is designed so the athlete has time to work on recovery and weak areas of performance in the offseason, ramp up to peak form and power during preseason and maximize performance during the season. Golfers are power athletes with swings taking as little as 2 seconds. So golfers should be training for power, which involves strength and speed. And they should be reaching their maximal potential in the heart of summer. That means preseason is spring and offseason winter.
Offseason is when the golfer must take some time and let the repetitive motions stop so the body can heal.
Have a spa day or two to work out the byproducts that build inside the muscles and connective tissue during the season. Sample a yoga class or stretch class to lengthen the muscles that tightened up playing all summer and fall. After a few weeks of rest, the remainder of the offseason should be spent working on the skills for which you are weakest. If you want more distance on your drives, then build strength in your legs and core. Use exercises such as squats and step-ups, pull-ups and push-ups to build basic strength.
Dose the exercises for strength with two to three sets of eight to 12 repetitions using weights in the 70 percent to 80 percent range of your one-rep maxi-mum (1RM). That means determine what weight is so heavy that you can lift it only one time with proper form and use 70 percent to 80 percent of that weight for reps. It sounds complicated but research shows that proper dosage is the only way to guarantee the results being sought. A trainer or physical therapist can help measure and reassess as you get stronger.
In the preseason, athletes need to start ramping up their speed so the slow exercises of strength can trans- late into performance on the course. This helps develop faster club head speed, which helps with distance on the drives.
In the preseason,exercises are dosed for power at three to five sets of three to five reps at 80 percent to 90 percent of a 1RM. But more importantly the exercise needs to be performed at 90 percent to 100 percent of maximum possible speed. Power athletes need to practice at 90 percent or better to en- sure they are building and maintaining power. For golfers, this means hitting balls at the range but also performing medicine ball tosses from side to side, up and down chop exercises with rubber bands or cable columns, and squat jumps or scissor jumps.
In season should be a time focused on mechanics, maintaining power and preventing overuse injury. Hitting balls on off days is always effective but continuing the preseason exercises helps tremendously.
Overuse is prominent among golfers in the elbow, shoulder, hip, back and neck with occasional ankle, knee and wrist injuries, which is basically the entire body. This is why golfers need to care for their bodies no different than other athletes. Reparative exercise and treatments such as massage, yoga, simple RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and mobility exercises such as self-stretching and cardio workouts will assist in keeping the golfer free from common overuse injuries.
So even if you forgot to work on your core strength in the offseason, preseason was busy with your child’s graduation and you are on the 8th hole mid-season, it’s never too late. Start a periodized training program wherever you find yourself and look ahead to the next season.
Get insights on your body’s strengths and weaknesses with a full assessment from a licensed physical therapist. Together, create goals and a periodized plan to follow so you can build your body properly. That way every year can be injury free, as enjoyable as the last and perhaps even better played.

The high orbital eccentricity of the planet around 16 Cygni B may have been induced by the companion star, 16 Cygni A, but only if the stellar binary has sufficiently small periastron distance. The long period of the stellar binary, ~3x10^4 yr, implies that less than 1% of the orbit has transpired since its first astrometric measurements in 1830. Therefore, we compute the orbit from the measured instantaneous velocity and position vectors, based on new precise Doppler and astrometric data, along with the Hipparcos parallax. The only unknown parameter is the separation between AB along the line of sight, constrained by the demand that the orbit be bound, which leads to a family of possible orbits for 16 Cygni AB. The physically plausible orbits have 18,200 yr<P<1.3 Myr, 877<a<15,180 AU, and periastron distances 68<r_p<1500 AU. The orbit is definitely eccentric, with e=0.54-0.96. All orbital parameters here are in approximate agreement with the previous computation by Romanenko. The new stellar binary orbit remains consistent with the possibility that perturbations from 16 Cygni A cause the eccentricity in the planet around 16 Cygni B. Recently a red point source has been detected 3.2" from 16 Cygni A, but its membership remains unknown (Trilling et al.). We assess its membership based on astrometry and velocities of 16 Cygni A. The point source is either a low-mass M dwarf separated by ~80 AU from component A or it is a higher mass star of perhaps ~0.5 M_solar, separated by at least 150 AU from 16 Cygni A-indeed possibly a background star. If the new companion is bound, 16 Cygni A and B never approach each other closer than ~500 AU, which diminishes the prospects that 16 Cygni A induces the eccentricity of the planet around 16 Cygni B.

Dear Eanes ISD Community,
When it comes right down to it, I think all of us have a desire to be understood. The way we treat others (human/plant/animal, our planet), is directly connected to our ability to understand another’s perspective or another’s emotions at any given moment. Empathy, the focus of this newsletter, can have different meanings. While at times, some connect empathy and sympathy, most recognize while connected, they come from a different place. Dr. Brené Brown does a wonderful job of making this distinction in the short animation below:
Empathy helps us truly connect with others and those relationships are the building blocks that facilitate our truly caring for one another. The key focus in our Green Glasses initiative is to zero in on the critical elements research tells us help build resiliency in our children and in ourselves. In my first two musings on this topic, we emphasized, Focused Attention and Gratitude. In this edition of the series, our focus is on the third element to help us build resiliency … Empathy.
Dr. Helen Riess, a Professor of Psychiatry, who directs the Empathy & Relational Science Program at Harvard Medical School, speaks eloquently in her TEDx Middlebury talk on the power of empathy. She gives a simple, yet beautiful example of a child showing us true empathy when she describes a moment on an airplane.
“All of us at some point have been on a plane when we have just settled into our novel, we’re listening to music or getting our work done when suddenly the air is pierced by the sound of a shrieking baby. Now I have watched all kinds of reactions to this from the very sympathetic look toward the parents to people who looked mildly annoyed or even frustrated to others literally racing each other to the one empty seat at the front of the plane to get away from this noise.
But on a recent trip to the West Coast, I saw the most amazing reaction of all: a little three-year-old boy wiggled out of his seat, toddled over to that screaming baby and offered him his own pacifier. Wow! I thought — now that little boy really heard and felt that baby’s distress. And isn’t that what all of us want to be seen and heard and to have our needs responded to? That’s the essence of empathy.”
For me, this is a great example of going beyond "walking in another’s shoes" to truly "feeling and understanding" what another is experiencing.
Empathy is so important for all of us in our daily lives. Not only does it allow us to form deeper and more meaningful relationships, but the research is clear: if we truly become more empathic to others, we will also have personal benefit.
In the podcast, “The Hidden Brain,” Shakar Vedantam interviews Stanford psychologist, Dr. Jamil Zaki, who is asked to describe the benefits of empathy and the work that looks at what happens when people receive empathy.
“In many cases, empathy benefits all parties involved. So, for instance, patients of empathic doctors are more satisfied with their care but are also more likely to follow doctors' recommendations, which is important for things like preventative care. And spouses of empathic partners are happier in their marriages.
But one thing that I think people don't realize as much is that people who experience empathy for others also benefit. It's not just receiving it, but giving it helps us too. So, people who are relatively high in empathy, for instance, are less likely to become depressed. Feeling empathy for others reduces our stress. And adolescents who are able to pick out other people's emotions accurately are better adjusted during middle school. (Listen to the entire podcast: You 2.0: The Empathy Gym)
Our schools continue to support students with the development of empathy and resiliency skills. Recently before the holidays, schools provided an opportunity for students to participate in helping and giving to others. Additionally, our schools continually provide opportunities for students to grow as leaders as they connect with others and learn to respect different perspectives. The understanding of someone else’s perspective helps us gain confidence as we develop our own identity and become more resilient, navigating the challenges we all inevitably face.
So please join my staff and me as we try to promote resiliency in ourselves and our children, to reflect on this third critical element, Empathy. Tomorrow we will don our Green Glasses, to show our support. But hopefully, we will all be a bit more thoughtful as we all grow to become more empathic towards all.

Before I start, I want to note that this post is inspired by another post on another blog. For the source article, please read here.
We are facing a problem which, in many ways, has been accumulating for quite a while now. In the martial arts, the problem has the potential to fundamentally change how business is done, and change it in a way that is much for the worse.
In our modern martial arts, the majority of people want to have a black belt more than they want to earn a black belt. This is a carry-over from other areas of our life, but I wish to stick with the topic at hand. Understand that this is not the condemnation that those who may bristle at the preceding statement wish to see it as upon first read. It is just a simple fact. We live in the time of instant gratification. Internet speeds allow us answers to the most trivial questions almost as fast as we can click. Drive through dinner, DVR allows us to pause and rewind live TV, and I could go on and on.
We are accustomed to getting what we want at the moment we want it. Someone who lives in this gimme-gimme-RIGHT-NOW mindset enrolls their kid in a traditional martial arts school, and cannot understand why the kid is not a black belt in just one year.
While I do believe that anyone can make it to Black Belt, it would be beyond foolish to claim that everyone will make it to Black Belt. In fact, many will not deserve to make it to Black Belt.
“Whoa there Smedley! Did you just say not everyone deserves a Black Belt?”
Yes I did. Allow me to explain.
To some parents of martial arts students, the statement above is borderline blasphemy. No one wants to hear that their kid is not good at something, but to say that their kid doesn’t deserve it?! That is going too far.
At least to the parent.
Speaking as someone who has been through both the Old School method and the McDojo method, I can tell you that the students given black belts in the McDojo month after month in large part do not deserve it. One need only look around at the black belts who could not fight their way out of a door of rose petals to see that some are given, and some earn.
If giving your kid a black belt would ensure that he or she finishes high school and goes to college and becomes a successful person, I would be all for it.
But it doesn’t work that way. No one can give your kid success. Success is earned, period.
I tell you from experience – let…no no no, MAKE your kid earn a Black Belt, and they will go on to finish high school, go on to college, and make something of their life. I have seen it too many times to fall for the other lie.
Your kid wants to be a black belt; make them earn it.
Growing up, my family was poor. My Father measured a man by work. If you worked hard and earned a million dollars, he respected you, just as he did if you worked hard and earned two hundred dollars. If you won a million in the lottery, he didn’t respect you.
I had to work hard, and save for nearly a year to buy my first vehicle. It was a 1967 Chevy pick-up. But when I bought it, it was mine, and I was proud of it. It didn’t matter that it had over 250,000 miles on it. It didn’t matter that I had to repair it every other week. It was mine, and it was something I worked for, and saved for, and earned.
Not so a friend of mine. His parents bought him a new car upon getting his license. He wrecked it within two months, and his foolish parents just bought another for him, which he wrecked within a half year. I took good care of my beat up truck, and had it for five years.
Going back to martial arts, I started and trained in an old school Chinese Martial Art system, under an old school instructor. I was a walking bruise for three solid years. After that point, I started getting good at it, and started leveling the field. But it was a rough go every step of the way.
When I made it to Black Belt (in that style it wasn’t “black belt”, but this is the common term, and I wish to add as little confusion as possible), I was as proud as I could be, and it was a true accomplishment. During the test, I had to display everything, and at times I was sure I would not make it. I had to spar with very hard contact for a length of time that most of the parents out there would call a stop to and sue for child abuse (my parents weren’t even there, so no such call was made).
But hear me on this – there was not just a mere sense of “I’m a black belt now!”. This was a true accomplishment that I had worked very hard for.
No one else sacrificed time with their friends for me to succeed. I did it myself. I took time by myself to practice. I studied, and sweated and bled, and lived and breathed this stuff (still do as it happens…), and reaching Black Belt was a triumph like nothing else I had experienced. It was then that I finally believed in myself. No one ran interference. No one gave me anything. I earned it.
I am not a black belt; I am a Black Belt.
Mine was earned, not given. No non-competitive-we-don’t-count-points, no everyone deserves to make the team, and certainly no one feeling sorry for me.
I did it. Myself.
My instructor taught me, but I am the one who had to stand up and prove myself to the judges.
If you step in and deny this to your child, you are not helping your child at all the way you think you are.
When your kid takes longer to reach Black Belt, stay calm. Don’t pull them out with the line of, “I’ll pull little Timmy in a real martial arts school where he can get a black belt.” The old school instructors will let you and your kid go, but your kid will miss out on the real feeling of pride that comes with really earning the rank.
Most will not.
And some simply do not deserve it.
I know which category I want my kids in. Do you?

3 Green Patio Ideas To Keep Your Landscape Looking Beautiful
At Blooms Landcare, we specialize in creating beautiful and natural outdoor landscapes that enhance the setting of your home or workplace. While we believe that it is important to create an appealing outdoor space, we also value the impact our work has on the environment we live in. Because the materials and chemicals used in landscaping often pollute our world, we would like to suggest the following three green patio ideas for creating beautiful and eco-friendly landscape designs.
Use a Fabric Weed Barrier
Whether you are planting a large flower bed, or covering a plot of ground with wood chips or bark, preventing weeds is an important part of reducing the maintenance work and time needed to preserve your design. Instead of using a traditional plastic weed barrier to keep weeds from growing up through your landscape, one source suggests using a barrier of fabric instead. For a less permeate flower bed, laying a new fabric barrier each year causes less pollution, while helping to reduce your weeds.
Add a Layer of Organic Mulch
Keeping your plants healthy and bright often depends on the soil in which they are planted. One of the simplest green patio ideas we found is the implementation of organic mulch. Organic mulch helps to keep the nutrients in the soil while reducing toxins in the ground. Some of the most popular decorative barks and soils we use are organic and last for a long time.
Retain Water with a Well-Drained Soil
During the hot months of the year, maintaining a landscape may require a significant amount of water. Our Fort Worth yard care service can help to keep your plants well-watered while minimizing your water use and environmental impact using the right soil. With a well-drained soil base you can achieve greater water retention. For more green patio ideas Contact or call Blooms Landcare at (817) 688-5352.

Ideally, orthodontic assessments should start early. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children should be evaluated by an orthodontist by age seven. Drs. Bradshaw and Hathaway can detect any issues with jaw growth and development and emerging teeth at this age. Most children begin orthodontic treatment between the ages of 9 and 14.
Drs. Bradshaw and Hathaway will ask questions about your child’s past oral health during his or her orthodontic evaluation in Johnson City, Tennessee. The mouth and teeth are checked for any signs of malocclusion, which is defined as crooked teeth or a bad bite. X-rays and photos will be taken of your child’s face and teeth. If necessary, a model will be made of your child’s teeth.
Early detection of any orthodontic issues means that our orthodontists can begin treatment when it is most advantageous. Drs. Bradshaw and Hathaway will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and bite until the best time to begin treatment.
Early orthodontic treatment usually takes less time than adult orthodontics. However, this does not mean that if you did not have orthodontic treatment as a child, it is too late. Orthodontics for adults is becoming more and more popular.
We invite you to contact our office to learn more and to schedule an appointment for yourself or for your child.

New integration enables Celerant clients to import product catalogs and automate purchase orders to Ellett Brothers, Jerry’s Sport Center & AcuSport
Staten Island, NY (July 18, 2018) – Today, Celerant Technology, a leading provider of innovative retail solutions for both small and enterprise firearm retailers, announced its partnership with ion, enabling firearm dealers to more effectively operate their businesses by eliminating manual product entry and order replenishment. This partnership allows Dealers to focus on selling product to their customers while Celerant and United Sporting Companies work behind the scenes to expand CLX even further and allow for a seamless transition.
Integration for both Mom-and-Pop and Enterprise Dealers
Offering retail software solutions to both the mom-and-pop gun shops and the more advanced firearm enterprises, Celerant’s new integration to USC is offered in both of their retail systems. The Cumulus Retail platform, designed for the smaller dealers, and the Stratus Retail platform, designed for the larger merchants, allow dealers to import product catalogs and automate purchase orders from all of the United Sporting Companies brands- Ellett Brothers, Jerry’s Sport Center and USC’s newest addition, AcuSport. The Celerant team has supported the AcuSport CLX (Customer Link Exchange) base for several years, providing the full integration which United Sporting Companies is eager to continue and expand upon.
“United Sporting Companies is committed to providing continued support to existing CLX Dealers as well as offering the opportunity of becoming a CLX Dealer to many others as this is an advanced and dynamic platform that will continue to move our industry forward. We are excited to partner with Celerant in this process because we know our Dealers will benefit from the convenience of CLX to seamlessly replenish their stock and allow them more time to service their customers.”
– Brad Johnson, CEO and Chairman of United Sporting Companies
Automated Inventory Replenishment, ‘Just in Time’
Firearm dealers using either Celerant retail system can reduce manual entry, save time, minimize errors and replenish inventory ‘just in time’ as a result of this integration. After simply browsing USC’s online catalogs, dealers can select which products they want to sell, easily import them into their Celerant POS database, pre-set their required minimum and maximum inventory levels within the system, and enable automated purchase orders based on those inventory thresholds. United Sporting Companies then sends electronic acknowledgements back to the dealer’s Celerant system, as well as advanced ship notices, providing full visibility to the dealer.
“Our goal is to bring innovation to the firearms space and help dealers operate their businesses more efficiently through technology. Our partnership with United Sporting Companies enables us to streamline the ordering process for the dealers and simplify their processes,” stated Celerant Technology’s CEO and President, Ian Goldman. “We partnered with AcuSport a few years ago and automated the replenishment process for over 50 dealers and were on track for many more to come. We are pleased to have the opportunity to continue to support these dealers, as well bring this innovation to the Ellet Brothers and Jerry’s Sport Center buyers.”

A Letter to the Class of 2020 Guest Blogger: Wren Livesay
Updated: May 6
As the spread of the corona virus has impacted virtually everyone across the globe, I’m sure varying opinions, posts, and takes on this pandemic have also affected each person with access to social media. Some of the most relevant to me, among others, are the posts that talk about saying goodbye to senior year. As a member of the class of 2020, I've had memes and videos sent to me by classmates in large numbers as, in my view, a coping mechanism. Along with the funny and semi-sad material, I've also seen people scolding and laughing at seniors for “peaking in high school,” informing viewers that there are much bigger issues.
More than anything else, this period of time has affected me because of bigger issues. The deaths of thousands which increase daily, the fact that my 75 year-old grandmother lives with me, the precautions I’ve taken like staying inside for almost a week and counting, washing my hands to the point of actually developing a rash (way to go, Wren) are all because of a very real sense of how serious this all is.
Although I know so many others have been and will be affected by COVID-19 on a much more intense scale than I can even imagine, this isn’t to say it hasn’t already affected me in a big way. To give a glimpse of this, I sat alongside my sister who cried upon learning her sophomore year of college had come to an early end. I felt her pain as she faced the fact that she did not get to say goodbye to her roommate who is a senior, her realization that many of her belongings will remain 1,000 miles away until it is safe for her to get back to her dorm. Her many questions about what is next as a musical theatre major who will inevitably not be able to study her craft in the ideal way for who knows how long. This all happened just days after saying what she didn’t know would be a long-term goodbye to friends, some of whom stayed and will possibly be forced to stay in the city.
I watched my mom breathe in the reality that the organization where she is a Vice President will take a severe hit in more ways than one. As a performing arts center, the lack of any performances and audiences creates a lack of so many other things the organization cannot do without. No students to take educational classes and no reasonable way to teach improv, choir or dance via “Zoom.” She was heartbroken.
And I was in my own way, too. For my whole family, for the world, and for myself because when I really get down to it, I’ve worked harder in school than in any aspect of my life. Not only is it the requirement for each of us to get an education, which I am extremely grateful I have access to, but it is also what we begin to strive for. Particularly in high school it becomes much more than just learning facts or numbers. I’m not going to pretend that I've gotten through the last four years unscathed, because nobody does. But whether you hated high school or loved it, in the end, at least for me, it isn’t about if you came out on top, or made the best grades (because I didn’t.) It isn’t about if you had the best time and made the most incredible memories either; it’s about the fact that you got through it. Each person’s journey is completely different but each one of us have had so many other things going on in our lives besides just schoolwork. No matter how busy you got, how rough things got at home, how alone you felt, how many extra-curriculars you accidentally committed to because you can’t say no, you made it through. Whether it’s about looking in a mirror and giving yourself a pat on the back or rejoicing with friends, the end of senior year is a time to celebrate.
Currently, I am reading friend’s posts about everything they won’t experience in the coming months: trips, prom, performances, games, clubs, college tours and more than likely, graduation. To act like it isn’t a great loss would be a lie. Each person experiencing the byproduct of this is affected in a different way; much like anything in life, and to discredit someone’s genuine disappointment in losing one of the most paramount times of their life is, just, wrong.
Personally, when I try to imagine not getting to walk across a stage in a tacky red gown and matching cap this May, I can’t help but dismiss the thought. Graduation seems untouchable, inevitable. Not having it or even having it late seems surreal and utterly disappointing. Is it the worst thing in the world? No. Are there much worse things happening to people everyday? Yes. Does it still really, really suck? YES.
I can’t speak for every member of the class of 2020, but the majority of them seem to want the exact same thing everyone else does right now. For this all to be over. To get back everything that is being taken away from them. I am not saying the effects of losing the end of senior year are equivalent to some of the horrible situations many people are finding themselves in, hopefully anyone with common sense knows that isn’t the case. But just as many bad things are resulting from a large portion of the world’s lives being flipped upside down. That is a bad thing.
All this is to say that during this time many situations get categorized into being big or small. Really mattering or not. When someone is grieving over losing something, let us collectively recognize the grief as it comes from the same place. It is okay to be upset when something is stolen from you. There was no way to predict the events that are unfolding and we are each reacting in our own way.
This time, however long it may last, is one giant unknown. One thing we do know is that we can be here for each other. Whether or not you can relate to someone’s situation, I hope we can all at least recognize that just because something "isn’t the worst”, that doesn’t make it good. Let’s not make anything into something it's not but try to understand that disappointment comes in so many forms right now.
To the class of 2020, I feel your pain and I know it seems like absolutely nothing is sure right now because, well, it isn’t. Confide in friends who are experiencing the same things. Take a deep breath in, take one day at a time and know that no matter how it gets recognized we will actually be done in a few short months. Congrats to each of you when that time comes, and let's hope we get to celebrate together sooner rather than later.

Add to that high-profile scandals about sexual abuse of teenagers in Rochdale and overcharging of vulnerable adults in Wirral and it’s easy to think things are bad in the North West – but there’s plenty for the region to shout about.
When it comes to Ofsted inspections, local authority children’s social care has an impressive record with 25% of services deemed outstanding and 52% rated good. On top of that, councils such as Oldham have been devising new ways to mitigate against the spending squeeze to keep quality public sector services going.
The North West’s dense population also makes it a great place to build your social work career, adds Mike Shaw, regional manager for the north of England at social services recruitment consultancy Liquid Personnel.
“In the North West every local authority is pretty much on top of each other,” he says. “I know that if I travel half an hour one way or half an hour another way there’s 10 to 15 local authorities I could work for.
“The motorway links are fantastic too – it’s easy to get from the North West down to the West Midlands or up to Leeds if need be. That means the market is very competitive and social workers are offered good rates.”
It’s a situation that has led to councils such as Cumbria council offering social workers golden hellos of as much as £5,000 to join them.
Another plus is the benefits of living in the North West. From the great outdoors of the Lake District and the seaside charms of Blackpool to the bright lights of Liverpool and Manchester, the North West is a region that has something for everyone.
“I’m biased as I’m from Manchester, but I think it’s one of the finest cities around,” says Shaw.
Would you like to work in the North West? Find out more by reading our social work careers guide.

NIAR's NCAMP qualifying TenCate thermoplastic composite
TenCate’s Cetex TC1225 T700GC 12K T1E unidirectional tape is a low-melt polyaryletherketone (LM PAEK) and is part of a broad effort by the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) to qualify thermoplastic materials.
#trends #peek #paek
The National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP), a laboratory within the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University (Wichita, KS, US), reports that it is performing a full qualification on TenCate Cetex TC1225 T700GC 12K T1E unidirectional tape, 145 gsm with 34% resin content. The material is a low-melt polyaryletherketone (LM PAEK) that has a processing temperature of 50-75°C less than typical PAEK materials.
Rachael Andrulonis, senior research engineer at NIAR, told CW, “For this qualification program, an industry steering committee has been involved in the development of a test matrix best suited for the material type and potential applications. As this is the first PAEK thermoplastic NCAMP qualification, a number of trial studies (physical and mechanical) were completed prior to qualification testing. At this time, the prepreg material and most panels have been fabricated and delivered to NIAR. We are currently preparing the panels for machining and will begin testing in the next month. All mechanical and physical tests will be completed in 2019.”
NCAMP has already qualified or is completing qualification of two other thermoplastic materials, both from Teijin (Rockwood, TN, US): Tenax-E TPWF PEEK-HTA40 E13 3K 5HS semipreg and Tenax-E TPCL PEEK-HTA40 E13 3K 5HS laminate.
Andrulonis also reports that NCAMP expects to begin qualification of other thermoplastic materials in 2019. “We are currently assessing industry needs and have not made a final selection of the materials,” she says.
Applications aren't as demanding as airframe composites, but requirements are still exacting — passenger safety is key.
Thermoplastic tapes are not new to composites, but they soon will join the primary aerostructures material palette and could be their future.

What would the world be like if we did not have clergymen to minister to those in need of spiritual guidance? I’ve always had the utmost respect for the lifelong commitment and dedication of people who serve their communities with religious instruction and the affirmation of moral principles. One such minister is Art McNeese, Spiritual Formation Minister of Bridgeway Church, 8201 FM407 in Copper Canyon. Minister McNeese recently wrote “Making Space for Grace,” subtitled: “A believer’s guide to living out grace.” I invited the author to come over for an interview. His partial biography appears below.
“Art McNeese holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Abilene Christian University. Art and his wife Holly planted BridgeWay Church in 2006, where Art now serves on the staff as the Spiritual Formation Minister. Art and Holly have two daughters. Haley is a nurse who will move to Samachique, Mexico, to serve the needs of the Tarahumara Indians. Hannah is a special needs adult who serves God in other ways. As one who desperately needs grace in all areas of his life, Art has a passion for sharing the miracle of God’s grace with others.”
SUMMARY OF BOOK: Too often, grace is treated as an afterthought, even though it is foundational. A proper understanding of grace is essential to our spiritual and emotional health. That’s why it’s crucial that we make space for grace.
In this inspiring book, Art McNeese explores how Christians can move from a theory of grace to living a life of grace. The author draws on his observations of thousands of people who could say the right things but who seemed to lack an internalized reality of grace to answer questions such as:
– How do you learn to experience grace in the deepest part of your soul?
– How do you move grace from your head to your heart?
– How can you practice a grace-filled life on a daily basis?
– How can you exchange perfectionism for peace?
From the foreword:
A Christianity that fails to make space for grace deters non-Christians from committing their lives to Christ. Some people refuse to believe because they consider themselves “good enough” to be saved. These individuals operate on the premise that achieving a relationship with God is based on a performance “scale.” They assume that their good works are more impressive than other people’s. Why would they need Christ? For other non-believers, the barrier is just the opposite— they reason that they could never be “good enough,” so they reject Christianity outright. After all, they can never chin the bar, so what’s the use in trying?
This is why, when I share my faith with other believers, I always begin with grace. Christians often need to be disabused of the notion that their relationship with God depends on their performance. Otherwise, they believe their walk with Christ is fragile and tenuous, and they can never truly be certain of their salvation. (Of course, other people need to be reminded of the demands of grace so they don’t presume on grace).
When I share my faith with non-believers, I also begin with grace. I’ve discovered that this concept disarms many would-be Christians. When it dawns on them that following Christ is not a matter of qualifying, but being qualified because of faith in Christ, a light comes on and they become more ready to become a disciple. In my experience, the single most common hurdle for non-Christians to overcome is their mistaken belief that to become a Christian, they have to “dot every i and cross every t” and live a perfect life. How sad that many who might otherwise choose to follow Jesus refuse to do so because they’ve believed a distorted concept of Christianity! I wrote this book because I want believers to embrace the grace of God and to be changed by it. I want non-believers to get past the myth that to be eligible for salvation, they must prove themselves “good enough.” For more info: www.makingspaceforgrace.com/

Jenna is a wife, a mother, a doctor. She’s also the victim of a stalker.
Every time she leaves her house, she sees him. Disturbing gifts are left at her door. Cruel emails are sent to her colleagues. She has no idea who this man is but she feels powerless against him.
Until the day he is brought into her hospital after a serious accident, and Jenna is given the chance to find out once and for all why this man is tormenting her. Now, the power is all hers.
But how many lines is she willing to cross to take back control of her life?

There are as many as 100,000 active missing persons cases in the United States at any one time. Family members and friends typically file missing persons reports with local law enforcement agencies in hopes of locating the person — or at least getting closure in the event the story doesn’t have a happy ending. And when medical examiners and coroners can’t identify the deceased, the person is added to the ranks of the nation’s John and Jane Does. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) estimates that there are approximately 40,000 unidentified human remains nationwide.

NamUs Database Provides National Information Clearinghouse for Missing Persons’ Cases and Unidentified Decedents
Lesley Marshall – who’s now 51 – was sent to jail this week for raping a woman in Burnley in 1989.
The Forensic Science Service at Chorley matched his DNA from that attack to a sample given by him after a recent motoring offence
JoongAng Daily Korea
Korea’s first use of deoxyribonucleic acid, simply known as DNA, as part of its database is paying off, as officials from the scientific investigation division of the National Police Agency (NPA) said yesterday they were able to match 30 criminals to 47 previously unsolved cases just a month after the creation of the new division.
Police said they had collected 1,145 samples of DNA during the past month from those serving prison terms for homicide, rape, sexual assault against minors, armed robbery and arson.
The Mansfield News Journal
MANSFIELD — What most likely was the second of four shots fired at 25-year-old DeCarrio Couley seems to have been the fatal shot.
That was the testimony Thursday from Dr. George Stebenz, chief deputy medical examiner for Summit County, on the third day of Christopher L. Brown’s murder trial.
Brown, 27, of 344 W. Sixth St., is accused of killing Couley on March 9 as the two walked on Sycamore Street near Sixth Street. The charges against Brown are two counts each of murder, attempted murder and felonious assault — all with gun specifications — and one count of carrying a concealed weapon.

Director 杰夫·尼克尔斯 was able to tell the story of the Loving family as accurately as possible by relying on 南希·博斯基's documentary The Loving Story (2011), which captured many details of their private lives: "We had this beautiful documentary footage unearthed from the mid-'60s where we got to go into their home and see them and watch them," Nichols said. Because much of the dialogue actually comes straight from the documentary, the Writer's Branch of the AMPAS determined that 爱恋 (2016) should compete in the 'Adapted Screenplay' category of the Academy Awards.
The U.S. Supreme Court decision of Loving v. Virginia (388 U.S. 1, argued on April 10, 1967, and decided June 12, 1967) unanimously held that Virginia's "Racial Integrity Act of 1924," which forbade marriage between people of different races, was unconstitutional. This decision therefore effectively voided all such laws in other states as well (at the time, interracial marriage was still illegal in at least 15 other states) and was used as precedent in Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court decision that likewise declared all laws banning same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional.
Mildred Loving's 2008 New York Times obituary reported that her ancestry was both part African American and part Native American on both sides: Rappahannock on her maternal side; Cherokee on her father's. The obituary also said that she preferred to self-identify as Native American rather than African American.
Before their 1967 Supreme Court victory, Mildred Loving and Richard Loving had two years earlier lost a lower-court appeal of their conviction for violating the Virginia law against interracial marriage. The judge who refused to vacate that conviction, Caroline County Circuit Court Judge Leon M. Bazile, wrote in his decision that "almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his [arrangement] there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."
The props crew visited antique shops in Hopewell, VA, like The Carousel, and rented the furniture for the house. They purposefully asked for furniture old, unfinished and re-purposed them for their sets.
One of the credited producers, Colin Firth, is the same 科林·费尔斯 who is much better known as an actor in such productions as Pride and Prejudice (1995), 莎翁情史 (1998), Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), A Single Man (2009), and The King's Speech (2010). In November 2016, Firth gave an interview to Entertainment Weekly in which he said that he first became acquainted with the Lovings' story in 2009 while filming a movie in Durham, North Carolina. Firth met 南希·博斯基, who was preparing to make her documentary The Loving Story (2011), and he became interested in making a feature film out of their story. He considered writing and/or directing such a movie himself but instead took on a producer's role and hired 杰夫·尼克尔斯 to proceed as the writer and director for the project.

Investigation into the loss of two USB keys containing unencrypted personal information that were used by the Strike-off Project of Elections Ontario (EO).
EO failed to put in place reasonable measures to protect the physical security, and the privacy and security of the personal information in its custody and control and, in particular, failed to ensure that the personal information stored on mobile electronic devices was encrypted.
EO failed to take steps to ensure that existing policies were reflected in actual practice; failed to ensure that senior staff were accountable and responsible for privacy and security; failed to adequately train its staff; and, failed to respond adequately to the privacy breach by continuing to store unencrypted data on USB keys after having learned of the privacy breach.
Retain the services of an independent third party to conduct a thorough and comprehensive audit of all of the personal information management practices at EO;
Establish Technology Services as the centre of responsibility and accountability at EO for implementation of strong measures to protect the privacy and security of personal information on all electronic devices and for ensuring that staff are fully trained and supported regarding the use of these devices;
Appoint a Chief Privacy Officer;
Develop a comprehensive, mandatory privacy training program for all staff;
Develop an ongoing communications plan to ensure that all staff are made aware of and are reminded of EO’s privacy and security policies.
In addition, the Report recommends that the government of Ontario ask the Auditor General of Ontario to conduct privacy audits of the information management practices of selected public sector agencies in the province; and conduct a review and modernization of the Election Act to ensure that the privacy and security of the personal information in the custody of EO is strongly protected and used prudently, as prescribed.

My longtime employer and friend past away recently. He always told me to use Moore's funeral Home because they had done such a wonderful job for his wife's funeral. So I contacted them on the day of his death. They arrived at his home promptly and with the utmost care took my friend to the funeral home. The next day I met with a funeral director and with his caring guidance planned a service that my friend would be very pleased with. Special thanks to Steve Taylor and Thomas Carreno at the Southlawn Chapel! Thank you for your care, compassion and professionalism during this very difficult time. Read more
"Everything was wonderful. It's obvious that great attention to detail was paid. Dad's video tribute was amazing. Hat's off to Elaine and her staff for a job well done." Read more
"Joe, I wanted to thank you and your staff for your concern and thoughts at the time of my father's passing. Your staff did a great job which made the process much easier for my family. Your friendship and support was greatly appreciated." Read more

I would also like to express our appreciation that Mr. Joe Moore also took the time to greet us and even attend the service. You offered amazing customer service at a time that could have been very difficult for us, but you made it precious instead." Read more
"Dr. Moore, this letter is to say thank you for your employee, Mr. Terry Hamm. Terry was very helpful to my family recently regarding the passing of my mother. Terry went out of his way to assist us in a very difficult period. Planning for something like this can be a painful and delicate process at best, and Mr. Terry Hamm helped us to achieve this goal. I would also like to say thank you to Mrs. Wilma Gabbert. She was very helpful as well. Wilma's kind demeanor was most appreciated. She and Terry made us feel like all had been taken care of and that is a great comfort when you are grieving. Once again, thank you for Terry and Wilma; they are both great assets to your business." Read more
"Dear Grief Group, What a loving, considerate group you are. The card was very beautiful and I appreciated the kind remembrance for Ted and my 69th anniversary. How nice of you to do that.

"Ron, I have never attended a funeral service that was better directed than our Mother's. You handled every situation in the most gracious and comforting way. The service itself is unimportant compared to the loss of our loved one, but it helped so much to know that a person of genuine concern was in charge. From the planning session to the end, we felt at ease. Speaking of the end - I shall never forget seeing you observing the final burial in 98 degree weather as we drove back past the grave site after everyone else had gone. It was very hot. Thank you for helping my sister and me through this difficult day. Your professional expertise is a strong asset for your company. Moore's Funeral Home is fortunate to have you on their staff."

"I just want you to know I called today to find out some information of my brother who died in 1960. I was greeted on the phone by Betty who told me she would look in the records and see what she could find. Within an hour I got a call from Wilma who gave me all the information I needed to possibly get my brother's death certificate. She read an article she had on file. I was so pleasantly surprised how nice these two people were! I live in Florida and have never received such customer service of this magnitude. Please let these two people know that I found them very comforting for a delicate situation. I can understand why my father used the services at a point at his life when he was very low, losing his son in a very traumatic way. Thank you very much. I appreciate these two very much and I hope they get recognized for their wonderful attitude and helpfulness. Thank you." Read more

"Ron, there are no words that can express how grateful I am to you for your care in my Dad's funeral. In my time of grief we were comforted by the attention you gave to my mom and family.

The sweet memories at Moore's will comfort and encourage my family in the days to come." Read more

Nicotine replacement in pregnancy: Safer than smoking
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is safer than smoking and Australian doctors can be confident about prescribing it for their pregnant patients, according to the authors of a Narrative Review published online by the Medical Journal of Australia.
“Clinicians report low levels of prescribing NRT during pregnancy, due to safety concerns and low levels of confidence in their ability to prescribe NRT,” wrote the authors, led by Dr Yael Bar-Zeev, Public Health physician and Tobacco Treatment Specialist, PhD candidate at the University of Newcastle and head of the Centre for Smoking Cessation and Prevention at Ben-Gurion University in Israel.
“In a recent survey of Australian general practitioners and obstetricians, 25% of participants stated that they never prescribe NRT during pregnancy,” Dr Bar-Zeev and co-authors Associate Professor Gillian Gould, Professor Billie Bonevski, Associate Professor Maree Gruppetta and Ling Li Lim added.
Current Australian and New Zealand guidelines recommend the use of NRT by pregnant women who have been unable to quit smoking without medication, the authors wrote. However, these guidelines, and others from around the world,deliver mixed messages by imposing caveats such as “only if women are motivated”, “only give out 2 weeks’ supply” or “under close supervision”.
In laboratory studies nicotine has been shown to cause damage to the lungs and central nervous systems of the fetus; however, “human studies … did not find any harmful effects on fetal and pregnancy outcomes compared with placebo, but the evidence is limited due to the small numbers of participants in the meta-analysis (combining all studies together)”.
Bar-Zeev and colleagues provided a practical guide for general practitioners for prescribing NRT to their pregnant patients.
“As many pregnant women reduce on their own the number of cigarettes they smoke, using measures that rely on number of cigarettes per day may be less effective,” they wrote. “We suggest using the strength of urges to smoke (SUTS) and the frequency of urges to smoke (FUTS) scales as practical guides to the decision to initiate or increase the NRT dose … If the women report experiencing strong or frequent … urges to smoke, this suggests the need for additional support.
“The most important guidance for NRT in pregnancy is to use the lowest possible dose that is effective. However, to be effective, women should … use as much as needed to deal with cravings. Physicians should encourage using oral NRT regularly throughout the day to substitute for cigarettes; for example, a woman smoking ten cigarettes a day should be instructed to use one piece of gum every 1.5 hours regularly, even if she is not experiencing a strong craving at this time.
“In addition, physicians should encourage the use of oral NRT in anticipation of cravings; if a woman knows she is going to be in a situation where the urge to smoke will be strong (eg, going out with friends who smoke), doctors should encourage the use of oral NRT 20 minutes beforehand. Physicians should proactively review … on a weekly basis and adjust dosage as needed.
“Further, women should be encouraged to use NRT for at least 12 weeks, or longer if required, in order not to relapse.”
Bar-Zeev and colleagues concluded that “nicotine may not be completely safe for the pregnant mother and fetus, but it is always safer than smoking”.
“A risk and benefit analysis needs to be done to help pregnant women (and their partners) judge whether to use a clean source of nicotine such as NRT, which might help cessation, and whether this is preferable to continuing exposure to the nicotine and other chemicals present in combustible cigarettes.”

RiverLife Weekly #22: Dare To Dive Deep
Depth is a scary thing for most of us. And we rather not dive deep. The shallow end and the surface level are a lot safer and more comfortable. Yet we know there is such beauty and treasure waiting to be revealed in us when we dive deep, relationally.
God is inherently relational, hence His mandate to make disciples is also relational.
Oswald Chambers said, “The main thing about Christianity is not what we do, but the relationship we maintain and the atmosphere produced by that relationship. That is all God wants us to look after, and it is one thing that is continually assailed.”
Unintentionally, our relationships are under strain, superficial and transactional.
One of the hallmarks in disciple making is diving deep and having tough conversations. Here, I’m not referring to an intellectual debate to persuade the other to accept a theological position.
I’m referring to having tough conversations where we allow another to confront our inner struggles to obey God’s Word; to challenge an erroneous mindset, align to what God says and to allow another to contend for my obedience to God despite my unwillingness.
Tough conversations are far from comfortable. We rather avoid them. It has no “feel-good” effect and is often stinging and prickly to our ego. Consequently, there is often a tendency to be defensive and react, and we might even take offence at what is brought up.
This invitation to dive deep is for both the Paul and the Timothy, as well as the Barnabas.
It takes courage for the Paul and the Barnabas to engage and confront with gentleness of heart.
Proverbs 20:5 – A motive in the human heart is like deep water, and a person who has understanding draws it out. (GW)
It calls for a spirit of humility in the Timothy to open his/her life for tough conversations, in which we are ready for correction or rebuke.
Proverbs 22:4 – The reward of humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, honour and life. (NASB)
One of the great gifts in diving deep is being enabled to see our blind spots – it could be some prideful attitude, making decisions based on worldly values, tight-fistedness with resources, self-centredness, dishonouring mannerisms in relating, or other inconsistencies – all of which are obvious but no one dares to lovingly speak to us for our good.
Looking back, much of my growing in Christlikeness was catalysed by tough conversations my Paul had with me. Those “ouch” moments in tough conversations were transformational – it was diving deep both relationally and personally – dealing with the core of my being, without which any maturing in Christ would have been thwarted.
We short-change ourselves spiritually when we refuse to dive deep.
Pastor Dinah Lee

Naples, with its sugar-white beaches along Florida’s Gulf Coast, seems ideal in many ways. Known for its fine weather, outdoor recreation, shopping and dining, it’s a great place to visit, let alone live. But, as many residents know, it takes diligence to protect a home from the extreme heat and humidity.
For those homeowners who travel frequently or live there only part of the year, minding their property is imperative. Although many employ a house watcher to check on their homes once a week or twice a month, that option doesn’t provide 24/7 surveillance.
A/C is a homeowner’s best friend
One Naples homeowner has been using a Sensaphone remote monitor since 2004 to ensure peace of mind when he and his wife are away. He uses a Sensaphone 400 unit primarily to monitor air conditioning in two zones of his home. Mold growth is a serious threat to property and health in South Florida,” he explained. “If the air conditioning is down for an extended period, the environment in the house becomes extremely humid. Crown moldings, baseboards, and wood furniture can crack after being exposed to these conditions. Remediation costs are quite high and insurance companies are limiting coverage for mold damage.”
Thanks to the Sensaphone device, he was alerted to an air conditioning problem that likely would have gone unnoticed. He received an alert indicating that one air conditioner was not turning on at the pre-set temperature setting. But, when the house watcher arrived, the A/C was working, so he was unaware of the air conditioning downtime. Over the weeks, this extra period of warm, humid air could have caused damage to the home. This early detection of a malfunction led to prompt corrective action.
“A human house sitter can’t provide around-the-clock monitoring, and homeowners might not know about a problem for a week or two,” he said.
Additional advantages in the home
In addition to remote temperature monitoring (from -20 °F to 150 °F), the Sensaphone 400 device can detect water pooling on the floor from burst pipes or flooding. Users also use it to detect humidity, smoke, power failure and high noise levels, like the sound of an alarm.
This Florida homeowner also uses the Sensaphone 400 device as a backup to his security alarm system. The motion detector sensor can alert him if an intruder enters the house and when his home watch person arrives. He also uses the Sensaphone unit to let him know if he has telephone messages. “I placed the device near the telephone, and if I hear it beeping when I call the Sensaphone, I know to check my messages. This saves time, because I don’t have to call the phone for messages if I don’t hear the beep,” he noted.
Because Florida is the “lightning capital of the U.S.,” he finds it reassuring to know exactly when the electricity goes off and when it comes back on again, so he can take action if his house is struck by lightning. The device’s 24-hour battery backup ensures reliable operation during a power outage.
Although Floridians don’t need to worry about ultra-cold weather, property owners in northern states typically use the Sensaphone 400 device to monitor the temperature at unattended homes to alert them before pipes freeze, burst and cause costly water damage.
Additionally, snow and ice storms can bring down power lines. Loss of electricity leads to loss of heat, which can result in frozen and broken water mains. Early knowledge of changes in environmental conditions in a vacant home can lead to faster response time. That extra time allows the property owner to contact help, fire up a generator and prevent thousands of dollars in damage.
The Sensaphone 400 device also has a built-in output relay that can switch external devices on or off automatically – such as activating lights on those long, dark winter nights.
Easy to use
You don’t have to be a techie to install a Sensaphone device. Just about any homeowner can set it up. Accessing the device remotely is easy as well. Homeowners can call in to check the status and make programming changes. They have the added assurance that Sensaphone’s free tech support personnel are available to walk anyone through the process.
As our Naples homeowner pointed out, “The Sensaphone monitor is fantastic. It’s simple to operate. And knowing what’s going on at the house while we’re away is quite comforting. In addition, tech support has been great, although I have only needed them twice in eleven years. This is my second Sensaphone unit, as I upgraded from the first one. I simply cannot leave my home for an extended period of time without it being on.”

Written by Hannes Nel, D. Com (HRM); D. Phil (LPC)
For nearly eight years already we have been wondering if this new kid on the block will make it or not. I had my reservations and am delighted to admit that I was wrong. The Quality Council for Trades and Occupations not only got their act together – in my opinion they are now setting the pace as far as quality assurance, qualifications design and development and management is concerned.
I just finished studying all the QCTO Policy documents. Without exception they are flexible, futuristic and well-articulated to some of the most advanced learning philosophies in the world, notable the Scandinavian systems which I know reasonably well (because of my own Doctoral studies).
The Policy on Delegation to Development Quality Partners (DQPs) and Assessment Quality Partners (AQPs) leaves no uncertainty about what the roles and responsibilities of these bodies are.
The Policy on the Accreditation of Assessment Centres meets all the requirements for valid, authentic and viable assessment of learner competence and knowledge. I am somewhat concerned if the AQPs will always be able to implement it, but this is more because of their possible lack of capacity rather than the requirements and structure of the Policy.
The Assessment Policy for Qualifications and Part-qualifications on the Occupational Qualifications Sub-framework (OQSF) links up well with the Policy on Delegation of Qualifications Assessment to AQPs. Setting standard procedures and requirements for the development of assessment instruments is necessary if consistency in the conduct of assessment is to be achieved. Everything would be fine if the AQPs abide by this policy.
The third policy on assessment is the Policy for the Approval of Results. A structured approach to management is always an effective one if, in a modernistic fashion, the authority is vested in one or more experts. I am of the opinion that the managers of the QCTO are doing a splendid job. They are approachable, respond rapidly to communications from clients and, most importantly, are willing to listen.
The fourth policy on assessment is the Policy for the Implementation of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Of the three South African quality assurance bodies this is the only one that understands and follows a holistic approach to RPL that is sufficiently flexible to truly support lifelong learning, the CAT system, accepts qualifications and credits obtained through RPL as equal to formal learning and focuses on correcting injustices of the past.
The QCTO Language Policy is not only in line with the Constitution, but also flexible, democratic and perfectly articulated to the real workplace and educational needs of the country.
The QCTO even have a Fraud Prevention Policy, Procedures and Plan. Excellent.
In closing, I had some problems with the quality of the “General Principles and Minimum Requirements on E-assessment of Qualifications and Part-qualifications on the OQSF”, which I mentioned in an email to Mr Thomas Lata, Chief Director: Occupational Qualification Management. He replied the same day and referred me to Ms Langa-Mtintsilana (you may know her as Busi). Look how she responded: “I am excited to hear from you once more. Thank you for your comments on the e-assessment guidelines. I am very pleased that you have interrogated the guidelines…. Your comments are spot on and come at an opportune time when the document is scheduled for a review.”

Barcelona are just two matches away from a historic unbeaten La Liga campaign after defeating Villarreal 5-1 at the Camp Nou.
Goals from Philippe Coutinho, Paulinho and Lionel Messi in the first half put Ernesto Valverde’s Spanish champions on course for victory before a late double by Ousmane Dembele added to the visitors’ woes.
The Spanish champions are now two games away from making history by going an entire season unbeaten, with Levante away and Real Sociedad at home standing between them and that feat.
Villarreal, meanwhile, were guaranteed to be in next season’s Europa League ahead of kickoff but missed out on the chance to move above Real Betis into fifth in the La Liga table .
Meanwhile, Sevilla maintained their impressive record against Real Madrid at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan by beating their much-changed opponents 3-2 in Wednesday’s clash.
Los Rojiblancos moved into a Europa League spot thanks to their latest success against Madrid, winning this home fixture for a fifth time in the last six seasons.
Wissam Ben Yedder and Miguel Layun put Sevilla into a two-goal lead, before Sergio Ramos missed a penalty and then put the ball into his own net to compound his misery against his former side.
Hope was restored late on as substitute Borja Mayoral found a way through and Ramos had better luck from his second spot-kick, but a below-par Madrid could not fully recover and were defeated away from home in La Liga for just the third time this season.

As reported in the Barnsley Chronicle on Feb 8th, Stephanie has thrown her weight behind the campaign for a national ‘Town of Culture Award’ – because she’s sure Barnsley would win it.
Speaking in a Parliamentary debate on the prospect of such an award, the local MP supported a new competition to recognise culture in towns across country.
She made her intentions clear, however, in referencing cultural highlights like Elsecar Heritage Centre and Worsbrough Mill that she backs the award in no small part because she believes Barnsley would win it.
Commenting, she said:
“Barnsley has a rich cultural heritage, and we should be extremely proud of the local attractions we have to offer.
“Too often towns like ours are overlooked for larger cities and tourist hotspots, but a specific award for culture in towns would be a great way to bring attention to what Barnsley has to offer.
“I’ll continue to champion our cultural strengths on the national stage, and lend my support to this award which would properly recognise Barnsley’s cultural heritage – an award I’ve no doubt we’d win.”

HARBOR SPRINGS – Wind turbine developer Lake Effect Energy Corporation, of Harbor Springs, says it filed a request for an investigation Wednesday with the Michigan Attorney General’s Public Integrity Unit into how Emmet County developed its wind energy ordinance.
The Harbor Springs-based company, which specializes in point-of-use turbines, has been in a deadlock with Emmet County on the 35 decibel wind restriction within its wind energy system in recent months. Lake Effect Energy has applied for an 11 kilowatt, personal use turbine for a client near Cross Village, but has been denied previously because the proposed turbine would exceed 35 decibels at the property line.
“It is our contention Emmet County is in violation of the Michigan State Constitution (enrolled Senate Bill 213, Public Act 295 of 2008, signed into law on Oct. 6, 2008),” said Chris Stahl, Lake Effect Energy Corporation president, via email Wednesday.
Lake Effect and other companies have accused the 35 decibels limit of being “exclusionary zoning,” meaning under the ordinance there is no possibility of wind turbines being built. Michigan has set the decibel sound limit at 55 decibels.
“Our company has made over 12 attempts to correct this matter since 2009,” Stahl said. “Our last attempt on Feb. 28, 2011 at a (Zoning Ordinance Advisory Committee) meeting, the ZOAC committee made it clear that they understand the adopted (decibel) level is less than ambient sound outside on a quiet day. The ZOAC states a wind turbine must make less noise than ambient noise. The ZOAC committee made it clear that they understand it would not be possible; unable to be, exist, happen, etc. to have a “point of use” wind system within Emmet County with the adopted (decibel) level.”
The Public Integrity Unit was created by Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette in February as a resource for the public to fight corruption in state and local government. Toted by the attorney general as the “no Kwames” division – after the former Detroit mayor – of his office, the unit is expected to work closely with federal, state and local law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes by public bodies of government.
Since February, the Public Integrity Unit has primarily brought charges on public officials for embezzlement.
Emmet County attorney Kathy Abbott said Thursday morning she was unaware of the filing.
During an interview before leaving his post with Emmet County in May, former Planning and Zoning director Brentt Michalek said he felt confident in the process the county used in creating the ordinance in 2009 and also pointed to the county spending $2,000 to hire a private consultant to review the ordinance in 2010, as proof of due process.
A request for information by the Michigan Attorney General’s office was not returned at press time.

Cherries is a small shop down Duplication Road that looks quite fun and appealing. It's got a large red signboard right outside and a glass exterior advertising waffles and free Wifi.
Run by an incredibly friendly and helpful guy behind the counter, Cherries is a cosy, affordable, and well air-conditioned space that's a blessing in the middle of Duplication Road. There's a table, a couple of high stools and a small couch, magically fitting just right.
Their menu is largely a ton of fresh juices, smoothies, ice-creams, and a couple of waffle options: strawberry and kiwi. I haven't really had kiwi waffles here, so asked for a portion of that. It's Rs. 400.
I was quite surprised to see the effort that went into it and how it was a lot more than I expected: the waffle was coated with a smooth layer of whipped cream and plenty of sliced kiwi, drizzled with chocolate sauce topped off with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. The waffle was piping hot and this contrasted nicely with the ice-cream. Its texture was a bit dense though, it wasn't light or fluffy at all.
The Orange Juice (Rs. 290) was pretty great. Fresh, chilled, and in a tall glass, it had just the right amount of sweetness and wasn't watered down.
I asked for an espresso, and even though the menu mentions it, (along with cappuccinos and a couple of other options) they haven't gotten the machines yet, so they've only got black coffee. It was Nescafe, so I passed.
Located between the British Council and the Bambalapitiya Junction, this is a convenient spot to grab a quick drink and something to munch on. They haven't got much food-wise, but plan on introducing a couple of wraps over the next month.

With an ever-present mishmash of computer equipment, office furniture and assorted gadgets, the modern office can be a messy place. In addition to giving off an unprofessional appearance to potential clients, a hopelessly cluttered workplace can interfere with employee productivity. Although keeping your office clean may seem like a herculean task, it’s surprisingly easy. Utilizing a few simple space-saving measures will leave your workplace wide open and clutter-free in no time.
Virtual Private Data Centers
If bulky private servers are eating up valuable office space, consider switching to a virtual data center. These businesses will relocate your company’s entire database to a dedicated cloud server equipped with cutting-edge data security software. As an added bonus, the seemingly limitless bandwidth offered by many data centers ensures you and your staff can access the company database at blazing-fast speeds. Furthermore, the data-recovery capabilities of virtual cloud servers make lost files a thing of the past. By getting rid of your office’s in-house servers, you’ll clear up a sizable chunk of space and cut your power bill in half.
Recycle Outdated Electronics
Many offices have storage closets teeming with outdated electronics. If your workplace’s storage areas are dumping grounds for PCs, monitors and other devices your employees no longer use, take the unneeded gadgets to the nearest e-waste recycling center. To ensure your outdated devices don’t go to waste, these facilities will strip them for useable parts before recycling the metals and plastics that make up their exteriors.
Consider donating outdated electronics still in working condition to schools, homeless shelters, community centers or needy families. Depending on where you chose to donate them, your business may be eligible for a tax write-off. Rather than allow your office’s e-waste to end up in an environmentally-hazardous landfill, put your old gadgets to good use. Not only will you clear up storage space, you’ll be giving a helping hand to the less fortunate — and reducing your company’s carbon footprint in the process.
Get Rid of Old Furniture
In much the same fashion as outdated electronics, old office furniture has a way of sticking around after outliving its usefulness. If you’ve recently upgraded your company’s desks, office chairs or waiting room sofas, hanging onto old furniture onlyeats up space. Old office furniture with considerable damage can be disposed of at your local dump or harvested for materials at a recycling plant. Certain cities even allow businesses to put old furniture out with their regular trash. Alternatively, furniture with a few good years left should be donated to charity or sent home with interested employees. In some cases, new cushions or a quick reupholstering can breathe new life into unwanted office furniture.
In addition to being potential fire hazards, tangled-up bundles of extension cords are the enemy of organization. With the endless array of extension cords found beneath the modern worker’s desk, ascertaining which cord corresponds to which device can be a real test of one’s patience. Although many business owners have accepted this as a fact of life, a cost-effective solution to this problem is readily available. Extension cord organizers come in a variety of sizes and enable workers to convert unruly bundles of cords into a single cylindrical shape. Not only does this make locating specific cords a breeze, it’s also far more aesthetically pleasing than the lump of extension cords to which many workers have grown accustomed.
Limit Personal Knickknacks
In the quest to save space around the office, encourage employees to utilize space-saving measures at their workstations. While it’s not uncommon for workers to decorate their desks with small toys, figurines and other knickknacks, overloading one’s workstation with them is liable to cause disorganization and give off an unprofessional appearance. To combat this problem, allow no more than five knickknacks per workstation. Certain employees may be resistant to this change at first, but after experiencing the joys of an uncluttered desk, they’re sure to hop on board.
As CareerBuilder reports, clean, spacious work environments promote productivity and organization. Additionally, this type of workplace radiates professionalism and can heighten your business’s appeal to new clients. So if you and your staff are tired of working in a cramped, confining office, roll up your sleeves and start clearing space.

Alex Zanardi: ““So last year at the beginning of the season actually, Jens Marquardt came to me and said, ‘Alex, you know we’re developing this new car, the new M8. We may have the possibility to get you into one of our team for a 24-hour [race], okay? It’s probably now too early to say this but if ever you have the opportunity would you prefer to compete in Daytona or Le Mans?
“He probably thought, with me being European, that I would answer with no doubt answer with Le Mans. And I answer instead, with no doubt, Daytona. All the way. All the way.
”Well, first let me tell you that I felt very welcomed by BMW Team RLL. It’s great to be part of such a great and professional organisation. And I have to say that initially when I arrived, I was pretty impressed by the size of the facility. It really looks like the kingdom of motorsports here and it was quite intimidating. Of course I am here to serve BMW, but I am also here to enjoy myself and that’s definitely the case. And in doing the job to the best of my ability I can certainly achieve both things.”

This book has the brothers heading back to San Marcos to solve the murder of Old Red's fiancee from years before. The boys don't get the sweetest welcome and a whole bunch of bad things happen in their pursuit of the truth. There are old friends, old enemies, and trouble around every turn.
It's just not quite the same. There was a lot less fun, less humor, and a lot more destruction then before. There was so much stumbling around of the characters that it just all feel into place, albeit awkwardly. The deduction portion of these books that I had loved just seemed to be missing here.
At first I was a little sad that there was so few of these books written but not anymore. I am okay that there was only a few, and I don't think I'm going to be reading the last of them. These books are turning out to be more violent then I really like without needing it to happen.
I wasn't super happy about the ending either, I really wouldn't have written it this way. I didn't even really like how the title was so connected to the core of the story. It was just a little too obvious for me.
Recommendation: If anything, read the first one, and the second one. Those are gems. This one kinda wasn't.

Spectrometer Different gases produce different types of photons (colors) because they have different energy levels. A diffraction grating uses interference to separate the light according to wavelength. Theory: The diffraction grating has a series of tiny lines on it. How many lines/mm are there in your diffraction grating?
Chemical-resistant cable clamps assist safety and organization efforts by securing, insulating and routing cable, wiring, tubing, piping and fiber optics. And be sure to pick up the clamp set size you'll need to lock everything down tight. Fasteners, including grating clips, are just another reason to make Grainger your central hardware supplier.
Constructed from reinforced fiberglass plastic (RFP) composite, RFP grating is used in hundreds of commercial, industrial and residential applications, including platforms, handrails, decks, foot bridges, catwalks, pond skimmers and more. Look for pultruded, moltruded and molded grating in the most popular sizes and configurations.
The first issue with using higher order diffraction patterns is solved by using an Echelle grating, which is a special type of ruled diffraction grating with an extremely high blaze angle and relatively low groove density. The high blaze angle is well suited for concentrating the energy in the higher order diffraction modes.
notes: 1. fibergrate's load/deflection table for molded grating uses 8 load bars/ft of width for uniform and concentrated load types. some manufactures use 9 load bars/ft, which overstates grating performance by as much as , when comparing fibergrate's tables to 9 bar tables, multiply fibergrate's reported deflections by .
– If the fringes are nearly parallel to the grating surface, it acts as a reflection grating! – If the fringes are perpendicular to the grating surface, or nearly so it acts as a transmission grating! • Transmission gratings with very low fringe spacings can be made, much lower tan the ruling spacing on a conventional grating!

Using its dynamic scalablity, versatility and virtualized sources are supplied like a service, Cloud-computing is viewed as the beginning of the new trend for application services and it has received its great amount of plaudits. With Google Documents, Flickr, Buzzword and Zoho as types of general purpose applications which use Cloud-computing Technology it is just dependent on time before Cloud-computing is viewed as probably the most viable choice for database integration and deployment.
By Using It Giants for example Microsoft, Google and Amazon . com all vying for any position inside the Cloud-computing space you’d expect there to become a variety of Cloud based Software Applications presently available. Although sure is the situation soon, at the moment Software Testing seems is the current preferred utilization of Cloud environments.
A current survey by Evans Data, a completely independent research firm that conducts periodic surveys of developers , discovered that of individuals using cloud facilities to operate applications, 49.8% stated these were doing this experimentally or prototyping 28.6% for non-critical business applications and 21.6% for business critical applications. They see Cloud environments to be “great for testing because they may be set and torn lower rapidly, sometimes at less expense than you are on-premise facilities”.
The issue to reply to then is exactly what Software testing tools are for sale to aid developers and Quality Assurance individuals within their database integration and testing procedures. Software Testing tools that can be used for testing of conventional applications have little use when put on Cloud Testing as there’s an excuse for tools to permit Software developers and Tester to analyse the network, desktop and implications of changes inside the Cloud.
An increasing number of Cloud based Free Software Testing Tools are now being printed.
Cloud Tools for instance is some tools for deploying, managing and testing Java EE applications on Amazon’s Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2). That contains three primary parts, including machine images that may be configured to operate on Tomcat and Maven & Grails plug-in it is really an amazing tool for Free cloud software testing.
PushToTest TestMaker is really a distributed test atmosphere that may run tests on test equipment, or perhaps in a Cloud-computing atmosphere. It presenting specific instructions to aid automatic Cloud Testing services.
Cloud Tools and PushToTest Test Maker represent types of products that can help shape the way forward for robust Cloud based Software Testing Applications. Although the technology is within its infancy, numerous testing tools are emerging that may provide assistance in cloud based software testing.

School is in recess for the summer months. For many children living in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, this break from school means more than just a break from school work and exams.
Paths to schools and obstacles to education.In Palestine, the obstacles to receiving an education are numerous. Many children must walk through checkpoints daily and have their school bags searched by soldiers. Others must make their way to school along treacherous paths, hurrying through military firing zones, crossing busy highways, or even using drainage pipes to cross busy roads. Many schools report heavy military presence next to schools grounds especially when children are making their commutes.
The UN Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (MRM) reports that in 2015 there were 140 incidents of denial of access to education in Palestine affecting more than 14,916 students.
The functioning of schools in Hebron and across the West Bank has been disrupted to varying degrees since the beginning of the escalation of violence in the last quarter of 2015. Disruptions were mainly due to increased access restrictions, delays at Checkpoints or clashes and attacks in the vicinity of schools.
The MRM reported that in 2015 there were 156 attacks on education in Palestine, which directly affected 19,276 students. These attacks included: acts of vandalism, acts of harassment and in some cases physical violence towards Palestinian students on their commutes to and from school. In addition the Israeli military is reported to have fired teargas, stun-grenades, rubber bullets in and around school premises.
Our Ecumenical Accompaniers (EAs) offer protective presence to kids on their way to school and during the school day. EAs’ ensure that kids make it to school on time, are protected from violence, and feel safer, so that they can focus on what a kid should: getting a good education.
The right to education is protected under Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the International Covenant on Economic, Social And Cultural Rights (1966), the Convention on the Elimination Of All Forms Of Discrimination Against Women (1979), and the Convention On The Rights of The Child (1989). Teachers and students should be guaranteed free access to educational institutions, regardless of their ethnic and religious background.
Please take action today to demand that Palestinian schoolchildren have immediate, unhindered access to education
- Share this blog with your networks.
- Inform your representative in parliament & media agencies about the implications of Israel’s military occupation of Palestine on Palestinian schoolchildren’s right to education.

Anne v dating algc3a9rie dating profile 2016 ag
Elle est depuis apparue en tant que guest star dans de nombreuses séries télévisées, telles que Desperate Housewives (Brandi, la petite amie de Karl Mayer dans la première saison), How I Met Your Mother (l'ex petite amie de Ted entrainée au Krav Maga), Friends, Charmed, Bones (en tant que petite-amie avocate de Seeley Booth), Numbers et Six Feet Under.
Model Anne Vyalitsnya, otherwise known as Anne V, appeared to be one of Harvey's most serious girlfriends before they called it quits on their relationship after 8 months together.
The two reportedly began dating in 2013 but in February 2014 they decided to end it.
Ultimate bachelor Adam Levine is getting hitched to his Victoria's Secret supermodel fiancée Behati Prinsloo this weekend. The Maroon 5 frontman has built up a reputation as a serial dater, so we're taking a look back at his rather impressive dating history.
High School Sweetheart From 1997 to 2001, Adam dated his high school sweetheart, Jane Herman.
March 2010 - April 2012Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna started dating in the spring of 2010 after they met at a 'Sports Illustrated' swimsuit issue party.
They parted in 2012, and it's widely thought their long-distance status played a part in their break-up.
But perhaps his most public relationship was with Victoria’s Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna, also known as Anne V., from 2010 to 2012. Finding 'The One' One month after the split from Anne V., Adam started seeing yet another Victoria’s Secret model, future wife Behati Prinsloo.
Aside from a reported hiatus in 2013, the two stuck it out, and Adam even told ET that he knew that she was "the one."Check out the video to hear what Adam had to say about his love life, and be sure to keep checking ETonline for all the updates on Adam & Behati’s big day.
The two met in early 2010 at a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue release party where Maroon 5 was performing, and shortly after began dating. As for herself, Prinsloo dated British model Jamie Strachan from 2005 to 2012 before they called it quits.
They dated until 2012 when Anne V announced their breakup to People magazine stating, “Adam and I have decided to separate in an amicable and supportive manner. I wish him all the best.” She reportedly didn’t even consult him before making the announcement and broke his heart, but this also means she was the one who introduced him to Prinsloo the year before at the V.
Plus récemment, elle a interprété un personnage récurrent dans les séries Mad Men (Francine Hanson) et Big Love (Lura Grant).

If the beliefs we have about ourselves make up our identity are not connected to truth. It means that we could be 1. incorrect about our identity but also that, 2. our identities (self-perception) can shift with knowledge alone.This shift in identity from wise to ignorant can be significant enough to require reconciliation. It’s worth exploring the possibility that coming into awareness of significant information, actually requires grieving. But first terms…
There are several definitions of grief but we will begin with the working definition that we use in our workshop Grief Practice. Grief is the process of realizing that what we hoped or believed to be real is no longer a part of our reality. This comes when we experience the loss of a loved one but it also happens at the end of a relationship, or other, smaller experiences of loss (mundane grief).
Often times we think of grief as a product of things not going the way we planned in a negative way. However, this feeling can from positive changes as well, like empty-nest syndrome, or homesickness. In addition to this, we can also experience grief as we learn more about the world and ourselves. The shock of new information can also spin us into grief, as we work to fit the new information into our conceptions about the world. This can happen when a romantic partner says they have been having an affair or even if humanity were to lean we are not the lone sentient life form in space. Similarly, knowledge can disrupt our sense of identity, as in if we were to find out that we are adopted. While it might answer many questions for some, it is just as likely to give rise to much more in others.
When we acquire significantly novel information in can disrupt our understanding of other things. The process of us rebuilding new constructs can be painful and cause anxiety. In order to move through this process, we must be willing to understand that is indeed natural, and cannot be expedited, but it can be understood. The way we have come to remember events in our lives is cumulative and when fundamental pillars of belief are jolted it can be destabilizing.
Our familiarity with the process of grieving can make it a more graceful transition but we can not avoid it. The same as there are certain acts that can not be undone. What has been seen can not be unseen. Instead, we must reconcile, accept, and learn to live with a new understanding, in a new way, as new people.

In my last article, I mentioned about my initiative to sensitize people about persons with disabilities and about my first experience of sensitizing session in one of the schools of our city. Today, I am sharing my experience about my visit to another school this morning.
When I entered the school, I was quite nervous because I was not familiar with the surroundings. I carried my laptop bag and a file in my hand. While heading towards the admin area, I was confident and was trying to keep myself at ease. I was to do the session in the assembly and before that, I was sitting in the admin area. While sitting there, I was trying to observe the activities going on there. In about 10 minutes, I left for the assembly. There was a lady teacher who was assisting me in making arrangements. The strength of the students present there was around 2500. Before my session, a faculty member gave a brief introduction about me. Like my last session, I discussed the following points in detail:
• What is disability and how it is misinterpreted. Also a quick peep into RTE Act.
• Detailed step-by-step information about screen readers/talking softwares. I gave them a demo of how Screen readers work on our laptop and mobile.
• I made sure to convey my message to them that differently abled people don’t need words of sympathy but what is needed is inclusion. We all must include people of all communities. And if we help a person with disability, we should not hesitate to ask for a help from him. One should not have prejudice that a differently abled person cannot help other.
• A piece of information about Radio Udaan, an online radio station of its own kind. This station is run by visually challenged people belonging to different cities. Being an RJ and a part of this station, I told them about our ways of working and broadcasts.
After my session, I had an open forum for students and staff members to come up with their queries, doubts or questions if any. Some of the students came up with some questions though the number of questions asked was not high, may be because students usually hesitate to come on the stage during the assembly. After my session, even some of the teachers spoke about what they know about disability. Students and teachers were listening to the session very carefully. After the assembly, one of the teachers halted class 10th in the assembly ground. She asked me to share my experience with that class as in CBSE they have Helen Keller book in their syllabus. As the class had Helen Keller in their syllabus, they were full of curiosity and had many questions. Students came up and asked their questions on the mike. I tried my best to provide them with all the information I could cater. Even the teachers with this class asked me many questions. They had inquisitiveness and were full of interest. Some students also came up with their questions later in the office where I was sitting. I am really thankful to the Principal and the staff for their arrangements.
So far in my journey of sensitizing sessions, I have felt that people and especially students have keenness to know about how persons with disabilities study, carry out their day today activities and work. Today, when I was in the school, a couple of times students and teachers came up to me and held my arm to assist me through the staircase and similar areas. I simply told them, “We all need help sometimes, so do I but I don’t need your help right now. When I need it, I myself will ask you for the same, thank you.” In this way, neither they nor I felt out of place. With such gestures, I noticed that they do have empathy but the only trouble is that they don’t know how to react. Even sometimes, it becomes difficult for a lay man to react in such situations because he doesn’t know which act of his may offend a person with disability. I personally felt that people will understand our ways of executing actions if we ourselves bring these to their knowledge. Lack of awareness has expanded the gulf between a lay man and a person with disability. One more thing I noticed was that some persons had a touch of traditional view point about disability. I tried to clarify them that we are not special beings; we just have our different ways of doing things. For example:”You open the book and read it, while we scan a book and listen to it with the help of screen readers”.
I would like to conclude that it has always been challenging to change the view point of people at grass root but still I am glad that I am getting a positive response from the people more than my expectations. Every single bit of awareness in the society is taking me closer to my purpose.

The New York Yankees may still have the American League East in their sights but this series is far more important than a first-place finish.
The regular season is winding down and this year already has a far better outcome than last year. The New York Yankees have, at least, punched a ticket to the postseason, with the chance to potentially steal the American League East.
While those chances are incredibly slim, the Yankees have all the pieces to make that happen. The Boston Red Sox have to take on the Houston Astros. The Yankees are coming in hot. It all has to go just as planned.
But this weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays is important, perhaps their most important series of the season. No, not because they are so close they can taste the AL East crown.
Actually, it’s perhaps the most important because they are potentially heading into the Wild Card game.
The Yankees participated in the one-game playoff two years ago against the Houston Astros. They had all the chips in line: They were the home team and had their stud starter, Masahiro Tanaka, on the mound. However, they couldn’t overcome Dallas Keuchel and the Astros.
Why? Not just because they drew the short stick by having to face Keuchel. Instead, they blew it because they went into the playoffs on a cold streak.
In September of 2015, the Yankees went 14-14 en route to the playoffs. Not only that, but they went 3-7 in their final 10 games, getting outscored 54-to-33 in that time frame.
Sure, people could place the loss on the fact that the Yankees went toe-to-toe with Keuchel, the AL Cy Young Award winner. However tough that may have been, it also is incredibly difficult to win a one-game playoff when coming in ice-cold.
That’s why this series is so important. If the Yankees lose all three to the Toronto Blue Jays, they’ll be going into that Wild Card in a situation very similar to that of 2015.
They need to head into the Wild Card matchup red-hot. Even if the Minnesota Twins have a worse record than them, anything can happen in just one game.
Who knows? Ervin Santana may show up in his ace form. Luis Severino (should he start) may implode early on in the game. The Yankees offense could be non-existent, as has been prone to happen this season.
It’s just one game. The winner goes on to face the Cleveland Indians, the loser gets bounced out of the playoffs after just barely being in it. That’s how the game goes now.
So the Yankees need to demolish the Blue Jays. They need to show up. No time for resting, despite the fact that they’ve already clinched a spot. If they want to make it through the “unfair” Wild Card round, they must go in prepared and ready to go right away.
So the Yankees may be gunning for the division. But right now, they should be focusing on preparing for the worst. They’ll have to build a hot streak if they want to have any chance of making sure this year isn’t a repeat of 2015.
Completely different year, completely different team. All this Yankees team needs to do is come in hot and the Wild Card is theirs.

By His Stripes, We Are Healed
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed.Isaiah 53:5
We all know that the Lord heals through miracles, but we should also remember that He also heals through medicine. We should give the credit to God, no matter how we receive our healing: doctors or miracles.
I am 22 years old, and wish to share this testimony for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. I trust that it will encourage the Bride all over the world.
A few months back I had continuous abdomen pain for a few days. Attributing it to acidity, I took some home medication but the pain did not subside. After two days, when the pain started becoming unbearable, a doctor was called home. Checking me, he found my hemoglobin was very low and I was rushed by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
They did a blood test and found my hemoglobin count was just two. An abdominal scan revealed a ruptured ovarian cyst. I had to be rushed to the main state hospital for treatment, and my mother and sister who were accompanying me, were told that I may not make it there.
By now my brothers and sisters in Christ were all in desperate prayer that the Lord will spare my life. It is usually a 40-minute drive to the state hospital. Due to some road construction work in route, and traffic literally crawling at some places, and the drive should have been even longer. However, it appeared as if there were angels clearing the way ahead for the ambulance, and we made it there in just 20 minutes.
On reaching the hospital and undergoing further tests, the doctors informed that my condition was extremely critical, and I had to undergo surgery immediately to remove the cyst and the poisonous fluids that were spreading around.
Considering my extremely low hemoglobin count, surgery was very risky and the doctors prepared my family for the worst. But brothers and sisters who had gathered at the hospital and those at home kept me in prayer continuously. Through this entire ordeal, my thoughts were only on the Lord Jesus Christ, and I kept confessing that by His stripes I was healed.
I knew that He would get me through. Just before the surgery started, my mother remembered a prayer cloth that we had earlier obtained from the Voice of God Recordings and which was pinned to my clothing. She requested the doctor to place the cloth on my forehead during the surgery. My mother comforted herself with the knowledge that the presence of the Lord Jesus was with me during the surgery, and He would guide the hands of the doctors who were operating on me.
The surgery was successful, and the cyst was removed without causing any internal damage to the organs. I have since recovered and am keeping good health with my hemoglobin count back to normal. I thank my Lord Jesus Christ for saving my life.
Your sister in Christ,

Another Delta question X,Y,Z
I think this one is simple. I printed a 20mm cube test and Z is good, but X is off my .25mm and the Y by .2mm. I never calibrated the steps/mm and this is my question. On my traditional Cartesian printers, X associated with the X motor, Y with the Y motor and Z with the Z motor. N
ow I know the Delta rails are each X,Y,Z based on connection, but does adjusting the M92 command for X, Y, Z adjust the actual X, Y, Z of the printed part or does it mess with the delta system? I know I am over thinking it, but wanted some moral support before I dive in and make changes I regret.

Do not adjust M92. Your Z being correct proves M92 is set correctly.
X Y dimensional accuracy is controlled by adjusting your "Delta Rod Length", using the M665 L parameter.
M665 L can also be auto-set by G30; if you have a good probe, like a Smart Effector, this works very well.
Glad I asked. I am using the smart effector, but the X,Y is still off. Hmm, I will play around a bit with the smart effectors probing.
It's usually best to leave the delta rod length alone in the M665 command and correct small dimensional errors using M579 instead.
OK, I will look into using the M579 but that may get tricky with the scaling. That said, X and Y are off nearly by the same amount so maybe it won't be too bad. Will make small adjustments until I get it in that sweet spot.

One of the Most Romantic Movies of All Time – Through the Eyes of a Baby!
Who needs an opinion smothered movie review when you can simply watch this adorable baby to find out everything you need to know?!
This Baby reviews the Nicholas Sparks' adapted, tear jerking classic: A Walk to Remember and his attitudes toward the flick are pretty much spot on!
He goes through just about every emotion: he smiles, he laughs, he cries - exactly what each and every one of us went through when watching this movie.
Lol this clip is just too cute! I couldn't have given the movie a better review if I had tried myself!
If you thought this was just as adorable as I did, please SHARE!

Henry George was born in Philadelphia on September 2, 1839, so we’ll celebrate his 180th birthday on Labor Day. As usual, the event will be in a south Evanston back yard, beginning when we get some shade around 3:00, and continuing at least until dark (We do have indoor space in case of rain or extreme heat).
This is a potluck; bring something if you can and let Chuck know about it. Grilled sausages and some vegan stuff will be provided. All alumni, friends, and prospective students of the School are welcome but you must let us know you’re coming. Expect to find some soft drinks, beer, maybe wine if somebody brings some.
While the event is free, monetary donations will be gratefully accepted.

5G mobile network is not something new. But the thing is that in 2020 it is probably going to take off. And your business can benefit from it. Here are some ideas on how to use 5G in favor of your small business
5G Can Make Your Small Business Fast
Compared to 4G, CNET predicts that 5G will be up to 100 times faster. And that’s a lot. Balys Kriksciunas, CEO of web hosting company Hostinger, explains: “The speed of your Internet impacts how quickly employees access emails or find important information. It also affects the customers’ experience when they access content on your website.”
5G can make various parts of your business faster. If your company has chat support that is always online, the better network will make it work flawlessly. Videoconferences can be more productive without lagging. Fast file sharing boosts business efficiency. And rapid payment processing guarantees that there won’t be lost purchases because of the sluggish speed.
5G Can Make Your Work Remote
Medium states that by 2035, more than 1B people will be working remotely. And 5G has an essential role in this presumption. “With 5G, remote workers will have greater access to remote access software so that they can more easily communicate and collaborate with colleagues as well as work more effectively” – writes HR Daily Advisor.
5G Can Make Your Costs Lower
This benefit has several different reasons behind it. One of them was already mentioned – remote working. While 5G makes it easier for people to work from anywhere they want, it cuts the office costs. Talking about offices, Business Matters Magazine suggests that “5G could help your business save money because you can implement a number of sensors to help monitor and track occupancy, lighting, and temperature.“
5G Can Make Your Small Business Data Safer
This one is a little bit more technical. The improved safety comes from 5G network slicing. To explain it further, network slicing makes every connection independent and isolated. So if a cyberattack breaches one virtual network, the attack won’t spread to another network. Forbes states that “With 5G, the user’s identity and location are encrypted, making them impossible to identify or locate from the moment they get on the network.”
5G Can Make Your Small Business Innovative
Up until now, bigger businesses had an advantage in creating innovations, because they had more resources for that. But the implementation of 5G can be helpful for smaller firms to develop innovations at a lower cost. Equinix suggests that “Businesses will be able to more easily experiment with and leverage disruptive technologies such as drones, artificial intelligence, robotics, and others.”
5G Can Improve Your Reality
Augmented reality isn’t exactly an innovation. For example, museums are already using it to present additional content for exhibits. Interior designers also use AR to virtually place furniture in a room to see how it matches.
But 5G can make it accessible in a way more various circumstances. ZDNet writes that “With 5G, the ability to use AR in live, outdoor environments away from reliable wi-fi signals can influence the types of interactions and integrations that developers can build.”
With the new year just around the corner, it’s a perfect time to plan on how to make your small business better. And 5G brings various opportunities to do exactly that.
It can make your work faster and, therefore, more efficient. It can create better conditions for remote working. This and the implementation of the 5G sensors can help to lower your costs. The 5G comes with network slicing, and it makes your confidential data safer. 5G lets you work on innovations cheaper. One of the best examples is the augmented reality that can bring your business to another level.
Be curious and explore the possibilities the 5G can bring to your business!

A consignment of 24 restored classic cars from the Key Museum in Turkey has been added to the docket for Bonhams’ annual Goodwood Members’ Meeting auction scheduled for April 7 in England.
“The Key Museum is a surprising, 7000-square-meter motoring haven in rural Turkey, situated one hour from Izmir,” Bonhams said in announcing the consignment.
“Founded by two brothers, Murat and Selim Özgörkey, the museum tells a global story of motoring history, and since 2001 its extensive assortment of vehicles has been sourced with meticulous diligence from all corners of the world.
“A change in the museum’s direction has led this world class institution to restructure its collection and so an eclectic selection of 24 cars will now feature prominently at the Bonhams Goodwood Members’ Meeting Sale.”
“The quality of motor cars sourced by the Key Museum, in a relatively short amount of time, is exceptional, and we are very proud to be including in our sale some of the very best models of their collection,” added Tim Schofield, head of the UK motoring department of Bonhams. “The 24 vehicles headed to Bonhams mirror the quality and diversity found in the Museum itself, with electric, steam and petrol engines all featured.”
Among the 24 vehicles consigned are:
• A 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SC coupe with Sindelfingen coachwork, one of only 200 produced and restored in Europe in the 1990s and acquired by the museum in 2009 at auction in the United States. The car has a pre-auction estimated value of £400,000 to £500,000 ($522,000 to $652,000).
• A 1962 Aston Martin DB4 “series IV” sports saloon, restored by the museum’s in-house team of 12 specialists.
• A 1947 Delahaye Type 135M cabriolet, also restored by the museum staff.
• A 1958 Fiat-Abarth 750 GT “double bubble” coupe by Zagato.
• A 1952 Jaguar Mark V 3 1/2-liter drophead coupe.
• A 1960 Facel Vega HK500 coupe.
• A 1948 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country convertible
• A 1932 Auburn 8-100A cabriolet.
The Ozgorkey brothers are part of the family of Erdogan Ozgorkey, who founded the E. Ozgorkey Group in 1951 as the Coca Cola bottler and distributor for the Aegean and Mediterranean areas. It spread into construction and tourism, and into agriculture and frozen foods, automotive dealerships and an industrial laundry.
The Key Museum’s collection includes around 130 automobiles, 40 motorcycles, a display of 300 automotive mascots and hood ornaments, more than 2,500 model cars, a collection of car-related scarfs, and the re-creation of a 1950s-era Shell gasoline station. The museum also has its own restoration shop for its own cars and for outside clients.
For more information, visit the museum’s website.

Facts gathered over 14 years helping over 155,000 people that you need to know
“27 years of anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, OCD, derealization, depersonalization and Pure O taught me a lot on a personal level… for 14 years we have helped in excess of 155,000 people providing conclusive evidence of the human process that switches off anxiety disorders.”
Charles Linden – The Linden Method Founder
My name is Charles Linden.
Believe me when I tell you that I know exactly how you are feeling but vitally I ALSO KNOW exactly how to cure high anxiety conditions and it happens to be that the cure I discovered for myself, is the same cure that every recovered sufferer has ever used; because it’s the ONLY cure! Allow me time to explain.
THE TRUTH about anxiety disorders lies below this letter and is born of the ultimate truth that you are human, that you are anxious and that your suffering is pointless and curable.
What if I PROVE to you what the only cure for anxiety disorders is?
What if I could PROMISE you that we will provide you with THE solution? It doesn’t matter what you call it, the name is irrelevant; what if we PROVE to you that this process is the ONLY cure for high anxiety, if we showed you that seven year old children do it without effort, that it hs never failed to cure someone that does it and that there is no other cure… would you just TRY it? NOT The Linden Method, that’s just the name we give to it… the process… as simple process… a process that was ‘born into you’.
The solution is already within you…
The solution lies within YOU and if I could download it directly from my brain into yours, I would… but given that neither of us have a ‘USB port’ behind our ears, I can only communicate the solution verbally. If you do as I suggest, which is so simple to do, you’ll see that what I say is truth and that this truth will eradicate your anxiety disorder permanently. It never fails. It’s easy. You will do this… because myself and my team will help you to, if recovery is truly what you want.
It TRULY couldn’t be simpler, faster or more effective!
Here is our 1-2-3 of Anxiety Disorders based on the findings of 14 years helping 155,000 plus people to recover and the data collected by my team of doctors of psychology, psychologists and psychotherapists. It’s such common sense and so simple.
You can and will recover
Charles filmed this inspirational video for anxiety sufferers after a hike up a mountain in extreme temperatures. He did this to prove to you that a man that was housebound, drug dependent, over 70 Lbs overweight and so desperate, could go from that to completely normal in less than three weeks… and if he can, you can too.
The 1-2-3 of Anxiety Disorders & Recovery
1 – The anxiety response
At some point you have activated the anxiety response in your subconscious mind – the catalyst of that anxiety is irrelevant, so lets forget that for now.
PLEASE understand that anxiety isn’t an illness, it is the EMOTION OF FEAR, a chemical and electrical reaction within the brain that gives us the experience of fear. It’s just that, at this moment, it’s firing when it shouldn’t be, but we can fix that.
The anxiety response, often called the ‘fight or flight response’ is the human ‘risk analysis and reduction process’ and should activate when real threat is present. When appropriate, the anxiety response deals with real threat and then switches off when it has been dealt with. You’ll be familiar with the effect when someone jumps out at you, when you brake suddenly to avoid a crash or when you see someone fall etc. The fear response is activated and then, when the threat has gone, your anxiety settles back down.
Various hormones, including adrenalin, are released during the anxiety response in order to prepare the body for action during which your entire body goes through many harmless, but sometimes uncomfortable, changes. Once action has been taken, the anxiety response deactivates.
KEY to your recovery is the fact that the anxiety response activates in the brain, when real threat is present, in under ONE second and deactivates, also, in under a second. Ok, you may be left feeling a little shaky, breathless, sweaty or nauseous for a short time, but the actual core anxiety has been stopped by the brain… because it is no loger required. In principle, that’s how quickly anxiety disorder RECOVERY can take. That’s how it SHOULD work, so why doesn’t it?
2 – What happens to cause your anxiety anxiety disorder?
YOU were born with a genetic ‘gift’ and that gift is a double edged sword because when you use it, it will make you great, but when it uses YOU, anxiety disorders form.
At some point in the past, your anxiety was activated… no problem there.
BUT you have what only about 20-25% of humans have…we call it CREATIVE INTELLECT. You know this is true…
That is not to say that you are a great artist, which is what most people think when wetell them this… it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have achieved great things or have been accademically accomplished… YET! But, the intellect is there, being underutilized, FUELING your anxiety disorder!
- You probably have the ability to ‘think outside the box’.
- You are probably inventive and curious.
- You may be artistic or have ideas swimming around in your head.
- You may be sensitive, cautious… a thinker.
- You may be ‘different’ to other members of your family.
- You’re probably ‘in to’ design, creativity, art, music or inventing things.
- You are probably ‘bored’ much of the time.
- You might switch from one subject to another or lack attention/focus.
All that ‘ability’ is because you have creative intellect.
UNFORTUNATELY, creative intellect is also the FUEL that drives anxiety disorders.
Was this included in the ‘great human blueprint’? No, it’s a ‘stick in the spokes’ of the evolutionary wheel, because humans were never meant to be so ‘socially evolved, creative and intellectual. We have genetically evolved to be hunter gatherers… not sophisticated, advanced beings with overpacked brains.
It was never the ‘plan’ that the anxiety response would CRASH into our creative abilites in this way and fuel the development of high anxiety conditions with such force.
Your anxiety levels haven’t returned to normal because your creative centre in the brain is in a constant ‘risk assessment’ loop… anxiety symptoms cause risk assessments, creativity embellishes them – ‘What if the racing heart is X, Y or Z? ‘What if that dizziness is caused by 1,2 or 3?’ – the mind interprets your symptoms as TRUE risk and responds with… yes more anxiety… more symptoms are produced and the anxiety feedback loop continues ad infinitum and all because your creativity doesn’t let them go.
So, creative intellect fuels high anxiety conditions… so what’s the ‘3’ in the 1-2-3?
3 – The solution
Your anxiety SHOULD have switched off immediately after your first bout of anxiety, whenever that was, but it didn’t because of your creative mind. The anxiety response, like all emotions, should activate in under a second as stress hormones are released in the brain and then, once the ‘threat’ has gone, should also switch OFF in under a second.
So, if it hasn’t happened naturally, what can you do? FORCE it to happen of course.
The solution lies in manipulating your mind into BELIEVING you are safe and when it does, your anxiety levels return to normal… PERMANENTLY.
THE ONLY SOLUTION!
THIS process is the ONLY way all ex anxiety sufferers have recovered and the way that we can help you to force your brain to turn off your anxiety disorder… with ease. We’ve helped over 155,000 other sufferers to do it, we know how to do it – our team are practiced at showing people of all ages how to do it and YOU will do it too. Charles Linden did it, which is what started this amazing discovery and you won’t believe just how easy and overwhelmingingly life changing it is. But don’t take our word for it… read these comments and make up your own mind.
Let us make it very simple to understand
The ONLY way to recover from a high anxiety condition is to return your anxiety levels back to normal.
This isn’t OUR theory, it’s biological fact. A simple way to understand this in context is that when you laugh it’s because the data you have collected through your senses tells you that something is funny. When you cry, it’s because your senses have collected data about something in your environment that is sad. This data is sent to your subconscious mind and hormones are released that make you experience the emotion. Once the event is over, we stop crying or laughing. The same is true of anxiety. There is therefore only one solution and that is to SWITCH OFF the emotion of fear in you.
- No medication can achieve this.
- No psychotherapy can achieve this.
- CBT cannot achieve this.
- Hypnotherapy cannot achieve this.
The process outlined in our Method is that solution.
Our Method guides you to ultimate, total and permanent anxiety disorder elimination and the good news is… it CAN’T fail. If you are human and have high anxiety, you WILL recover.
Our Method kits start at £87 and, if we don’t cure you… you don’t pay a penny!
You can do this simple Method and call and email the support team to receive anxiety recovery guidance, BUT, if you say you want your money back… you’ll get it back. How can we be fairer? The truth is, if we don’t cure you, we don’t want your money.

Best Bet - (1) EXIT SMILING - Race 9
Spot Play - (5) THE DEVIL YOU KNOW - Race 6
20-Cent Pick 4 - Race 3 - 3,4/5,6,7,9/2,3,6/1,5,9 = $14.40
20-Cent Pick 4 - Race 7 - 3,4,9/2,3,6/1,3/1,3 = $7.20
Race 1 - (4) ONE SMART COOKIE was a winner of a Prospect Series race over the Grand River 1/2-miler with Shepherd driving two starts back and he returns here so she gets top call. (3) INCREDIBLE TWO holds the fastest mark in the race by a few seconds and she is the one the choice will need to beat. (1) RADICAL J J will contend and likely take a share if she stays flat.
Race 2 - (1) JUST DONT WAIT paced his back 1/2 in 55 2/5 last time after starting from a poor post. Getting the rail here, Coulter is sure to put him into the race leaving the gate. He gets the nod. (2) BETTER BE GOUDA beat the choice last time and he could provide a perfect pocket for him here but he will still need to be passed. (3) NOSPORTPUNINTENDED is right there every week and he is impossible to leave off Tri tickets.
Race 3 - (3) LOS BALLYKEELAMIGO is in a great spot to attempt another front-end score here. (4) TEN FOUR WE GONE tripped out to win here Friday night and he will likely be the main threat if he goes on one day rest. (5) DRONE SEELSTER’s good gate speed can get him position early and he should take a slice.
Race 4 - (5) YOURTHEONE gets post relief and he gets sent out by a hot barn; slight nod. (6) ACROBAT HANOVER comes off a sharp try and he is getting closer. He’s on my Pick 4 ticket. (7) TWIN B POWERBALL also was narrowly defeated but now he moves from the rail to an outside post; demand a price.
Race 5 - (6) GOALTENDER gets the trainer back in the bike here and she knows him best. I expect a rebound effort. (2) TRAVELLER was in a tough spot last time chasing an unyielding leader (as was the rest of the field). Sharp improvement is likely here. (3) NORTHERN FLAME’s current form indicates that he has a good chance in here and the 8 to 1 morning line entices Pick 4 usage.
Race 6 - (5) THE DEVIL YOU KNOW comes off a sharp try and he gets his nose back on the gate. I’ll call him for the mild upset over likely chalk (9) CARSONS KENNEDY who is obvious shipping in from Mohawk Park but must navigate the outside post. (1) RAISE YOU TWENTY’s only bad races came when he started in the second tier. He figures for a good share here. (2) GROOGRUX KING is well traveled and he typically tries hard. He can share from an inside post. (3) CHAPPIESBOY should rally for another small slice in this spot.
Race 7 - (4) EPIC PROPORTION couldn’t close into an accelerating back 1/2 last time but making his second start out of the Darveau barn more aggression could be coming here; slight nod. (9) SOUTHPAW HANOVER improved in his second start for Bourgault and he should be a major contender here. (3) ADAM BAYAMA raced well from bad posts at Grand River and he is hard to leave off late Pick 4 tickets starting from the inside.
Race 8 - (2) BEE TWO BEE adds Lasix after tiring in the stretch last week and that could lead to him lasting this week; slight nod. (3) CHIEFS BEACH qualified well for this and he should be prominent throughout; using. (6) PEMBROOK LEGACY N was sharp in victory at Grand River but there will be inside leavers here that could make it tough on him early; demand a price.
Race 9 - (1) EXIT SMILING draws best, drops and likely pops here. (3) ALWAYS N THE MONEY should leave quickly and he could end up being a pocket rocket in the stretch; using. (2) HOMEY JOE usually passes horses in the back 1/2 and the inside draw helps him here.
Race 10 - (3) STOLEN ART moves into the Moreau barn, faces easier and draws inside; top call. (1) SHADES OF BAY gets his easiest assignment in a long time and he draws best but his form has been poor for several weeks and he has now missed a month; using but I wouldn’t take a short price. (2) DREAMFAIR TECATE can fly off the gate when he is in form. He could add some value to the Trip making his initial 2020 start and coming in off a nondescript qualifier. (4) DRAGON TIME should leave for position and ride a good trip to a top four finish. (5) MATTS TUITION can close for a small share in this spot.

“I haven’t figured it out yet.” Such a hopeful phrase! It suggests two very important things:
- That there is more to learn
- That I will learn it 🙂
I’m still here in Santa Clara at Stitches West and I’ve come to another realization. I signed up for too many classes—the same mistake I made my first time as Stitches West 14 years ago when it was in Oakland.
In my defense, it’s been 10 years since I was here. That said, I’ve loved every class and will likely love the two (!) more I have tomorrow. The issue is making sure I really learn what I’ve learned.
So far I’ve picked up many new ways of closing garments and making the chains, buttons, etc., in a class with Margaret Fisher. She even taught me how to sew in a zipper! I also learned two stranded color knitting with a designer from my neck of the woods, Lorilee Beltman. I can’t wait to try out her designs! Today was continental knitting with the fabulous Leslye Solomon, who I remember from her classes when I was first going to Stitches West all those years ago. This is when my brain started to fry a bit.
When a neighbor would get stuck in class and lean in to ask me how to do something—because I tend to plow on even if I don’t know what I’m doing—I would answer, “I haven’t figured it out yet, but here is what I’m trying.” I didn’t feel bad about that, I felt energized!!
After class, this being my only half day of classes, walking around the market I felt a bit dizzy. Yes, that is a sensory overload place too, but it was more than that—I WAS TIRED. So I hoofed it back to the hotel to rest. ZZZZzzzz.
After my nap I picked up right where I left off from class while I was waiting for dinner and there it was. No, it wasn’t smooth (not yet!) and no it wasn’t pretty (not yet!), but this will come. I know it!
And now I must gird my loins for the two classes I have tomorrow—before I get on a plane and fly home.

Yes folks the people are speaking loud! Look America this was a big part of the Silent majority. We’re not silent anymore… Below is a list of videos which were shot during the protests going on right this week over in Hollywood. Watch, and listen folks it was only a matter of time before these sick Hollywood fucks got what was coming to them. I’m happy to see the people finally stand up for the real victims. The children.
This should be why people are out protesting! Not to defund the police… Time to vote for Trump, and remove the derange lunatic child predators in Hollywood, and help to continue to drain the swamp.

With newfound independence, little kids can be a handful to calm at night. All of that energy can either snowball into preschooler bedtime battles, or be deftly managed to become a peaceful path toward slumber.
I’m just going to assume you want a peaceful bedtime routine for the sake of this article — no one wants to deal with conflict if they don’t have to. While this can seem overwhelming, it’s really all about having a good, flexible routine and sticking to it.
Start With A Consistent Routine
Even if you have never had a solid bedtime routine for your preschooler, there is no time like the present to start one. Getting used to a new routine will take a few days for your child to adjust to. Your child should adapt quite quickly and will soon crave the new routine.
If you forget or try to skip a step one night, you will probably hear about it! This is because consistent routines provide a sense of security, stability, and safety for young children. When a child has the sense that he can predict what comes next — even if he puts up a fuss about it — he feels a little more in control of life. It is the opposite of chaos for them.
Keeping to a set bedtime routine will also provide the structure you need when you are exhausted. At the end of a long day, you will appreciate a chart — either a mental list or one hanging on your wall — that tells YOU what the next step is! Soon, you will also be able to use the routine as a gentle guide away from anything NOT on the list.
“Sweetie, I would love to see all of your mega block creations but we cannot do that right now. Let’s look and see what is next on your chart. When you wake up in the morning we can look at those wonderful creations!”
The Elements Of A Great Bedtime Routine
Think about the basics first:
- teeth brushing
- a potty stop
- comfort (snuggles and bedtime kisses)
- getting tucked into bed
- lights out.
Now back up from there and add in the things that are important to you and your child. Do you want to include a time to pick up toys? This is a terrific habit for your child to learn. But it may or may not fit into your bedtime routine.
Should you put a bedtime snack on the chart? This may help a child who tends to get in bed and declare he is “hungry.” Nothing will derail a good bedtime groove like a whining, hungry child in bed. If they have had a healthy snack and some water then you know that their declaration of hunger or thirst is either a stalling tactic or something they just need to deal with till breakfast comes along. Having a small bedtime snack just makes it easier to say, “No, you had your snack and now it is time to settle into bed.”
To Bathe Or Not To Bathe, That is The Question
Bath time is not a calming event for some children because they have a fear of water, or they play so excitedly in the bathtub. But, it is a classic element of a soothing bedtime routine for many. If it does not work for your child, don’t sweat it. Just find a better time to fit it into your days.
Fluids and Bedtime
If your child tends to wet the bed, often has a leaky diaper, or gets up to go potty in the middle of the night, it is a good idea to limit liquids of all kinds after dinner time. But this means that it is super important to hydrate them during the day.
Then, at bedtime, you can possibly have one small cup of water available in the bathroom. When it is empty they are finished drinking for the night.
Power Down For Better Sleep
Helping your child wind down from the day is important. Power down or turn off all electronic devices for your child an hour before bedtime. This may feel like a hard rule to follow but if you give it a try you will see a difference in your child’s ability to calm himself down for bed. It is not a cure-all for every bedtime woe, but it certainly is an important factor backed up by good science.
Some studies have shown that tvs, laptops, and even our small electronic devices emit sufficient light to miscue the brain and promote wakefulness. They can throw off our circadian rhythms enough to disrupt sleep patterns, especially in children.
It is tempting to think of gadgets for children as a help in our parenting. But after dinnertime they could be a hindrance to your bedtime goals. Power down in order to get to sleep on time.
The Human Touch
Almost all children prefer to snuggle and be close toward bedtime. I think that some of your best parenting memories can be made during this time of your day. Find a spot that is easy to transition them from snuggling to their bed. Maybe it is on your bed or a couch nearby. Once you find a good spot, stick with it. The consistency will help you keep to your routine. Then be sure you snuggle, hug, cuddle, and let your child hear your words of love and affirmation.
Read Aloud and Make Some Memories
Bedtime is synonymous with reading books for many families. Let your child choose a favorite book or two (not the longest ones) and read aloud to them in a gentle voice. Save the scary stories and dramatic voices for daytime! In preschool, children learn so much through repetition. They are actually geared toward repeating the very stories they love the most because with each reading they are learning more and cementing the concepts in their minds. At bedtime I recommend going with the book that seems the most comforting to them, even if you feel like a droid repeating the same thing over and over again.
As your children approach elementary school age you can choose a longer chapter book and read a chapter or part of a chapter each night. Your children may begin to look forward to bedtime in a new way at that age because they want to hear what comes next.
If this reading time takes on a life of its own — too long for bedtime or too much excitement — you may want to move it to earlier in the evening in the living room and then shorten the bedtime routine.
Make a Final Pit Stop
If you like to read to your child before bed, take a moment for a final bathroom break and a final sip of water. After this point you will just need to use your parenting wisdom to determine if your child really needs to go potty again or is looking for an excuse to get out of bed.
Slip Into a Cozy Bed
Lastly, you tuck your child into their bed. Be sure the sheets are tucked in properly, the covers suit the temperature, the room is dark enough, and the closets closed — trust me on this one! As an aside, the cleaner and neater the room is, the better for settling their minds at night. Granted, some children will not care about neatness for many years but some do care and may not be able to verbalize their preference at a young age.
Say 1-3 positive things about your day. Studies also show ending your day on a positive note is a good thing!
Give hugs and kisses, maybe sing a short song, and say goodnight. Beginning and ending the day with your child creates a safe and secure environment for them. If at all possible, have each parent say goodnight even when one parent is shouldering more of the routine load.
A Sample Routine
- Bedtime snack
- Pick up toys
- Put on pajamas
- Brush teeth
- Read a book
- Bathroom break
- Slip into bed
Make sure all of the harder tasks happen before the reward of reading and snuggling and singing! This will help you keep them on track if they tend to get distracted.
The Sleep Lady Shuffle
If you stick to a new bedtime routine for a few weeks your child is struggling to go to sleep, you can revisit The Shuffle. Take care not to linger too long in one spot by moving every three days. See my book if you need a refresher on how to implement The Shuffle for preschool-aged children.
Use a Sleep Manners Chart
If your child loves stamps and stickers, consider making a sleep manners chart. You can do this easily, and involve your child. Choose 3 to 4 sleep manners, and word them in a positive manner, such as “stay in your own bed all night long”.
Better yet, download this fully customizable Sleep Manners Chart, here.
At bedtime, draw attention and talk about your child’s chart, even if they seem to be “tuning out.” Be clear about the behaviors you wish to see more of. In the morning, make sure that you supply plenty of hugs and praise in addition to the stickers or stamps.
The role of the sleep manner chart is to set expectations and review the behavior you and your child are working on to improve or change. I realize that stickers and stars may not be enough motivation to change a child’s behavior, but using the chart as reinforcement is a good way to remind you both of how bedtime looks.
Stick With It
My best advice for you is to stick with the routine you develop. Tweak it as you need to, and flex when life dictates, but don’t abandon it when it seems inconvenient. Finishing the day well with your preschooler is very important to them and how they sleep each night. You are helping them settle down and enter into restful, deep sleep more quickly than they would without the comfort of a routine.

Why Open Graph Social Sharing Boosts Search Rankings
No matter what industry you’re in, your company is only successful if you drive business through your advertising efforts. Content marketing is essential, but search rankings are also critical. Your content is a waste of time if interested, qualified prospects can’t find it. There are various methods you can implement to improve your ranking on the search engine results page, but you can be sure that your competition is utilising the same strategy. A new approach may be necessary if you want to separate your company from the pack.
The answer may be found in taking advantage of social media tools; in particular, there are many reasons why open graph social sharing is essential to boosting your search rankings. If you spend any time on Facebook or Twitter, you’ve been exposed to it; you just may not recognise it. Now is the time to become familiar with open graph sharing and figure out ways to implement it as part of your social strategy.
Why You Need to Know About Open Graph Sharing
Think about what you see when you share an image on social media. Ideally, you want the image itself to appear next to the post, along with the origin site and a title tag. There are other times when your post doesn’t include the image; only the website address and title appear, so a friend or follower must click through to see the graphic.
What has happened in the background is that Facebook or Twitter has attempted to draw in the image, but was unable to capture it for sharing. The reason is failure to use open graph tags. If you don’t implement them on your own site, your images will fail to appear next to a post or status update. You’re no doubt aware of the impact images can make when you share material on your Facebook or Twitter profile, so the error in graphics not transferring over is significant. It can cost you traffic and, ultimately, customers.
This is the most compelling reason why open graph social sharing is essential to boosting your search rankings. While implementing open graph tags directly on your website won’t affect your position on the search engine results page, it does affect the performance of the links you share with your followers.
What You Need to Know About Open Graph Sharing
So now you know why you need open graph social sharing, but it’s another thing to actually reap the benefits. There are a few components that you’ll need to include with your site content to make sure it translates over seamlessly when you or another visitor shares it.
Title: The title is how you’re identifying the content itself and it will appear bolded when shared, so consider your language wisely. This element is akin to the meta tags in your code which, incidentally, Facebook will use if it can’t find your open graph tags – and which is why your share doesn’t include an image.
URL: This is the landing page on your site that visitors will be directed to when they click on the post. Fortunately, this is the open graph sharing component that doesn’t require a lot of thought. However, you should make sure you direct users to different pages on your site, as this is why open graph social sharing is essential to boosting your search rankings.
Type: Here, you’re letting Facebook and Twitter know what kind of content you’re sharing. Typically, it will fall into a category, such as web material like a blog or site. You might also designate it under the entertainment category, which would qualify it as a movie, book, game or video. Other categories include people, places, activities or businesses.
The designation of a description or type is critical for the “Like” feature on Facebook. If the open graph tag refers to something that actually exists and a follower clicks on the “Like” button, he or she will see it in the interests section of their social media profile. However, as it relates to your own marketing efforts, it’s likely that you’ll be using the web material category most often.
When you know why open graph social sharing is essential to boosting your search rankings, you open the door to leveraging your social media presence in a way that will ensure your prospects find you. With a little practice, you can soon develop skills that will make you a master at open graph sharing. However, you might also consider hiring experts to take on the task and free up the time to do what you do best: run your company.

Day 2 of my 50 DIY Days! I thought today’s post would be a perfect follow up to yesterday’s Unicorn/Narwhal horn gift DIY (if you’d like to see how I made the horn… click here). Giving a little treasure or jewelry as a gift this year? Well, you can’t just give a special gift in just any plain ‘ol gift box. It needs something special. A gold gift box. It’s seriously so quick, easy, and awesome.
– Cardboard gift box.
– Gold metallic spray paint (I used Krylon)
– Optional: Heart sticker
– Optional: Pretty paper to cut up and use as a cushion in the box
– In a well ventilated space (preferably outside), set up your spraying area. Split up the lid and bottom of your box.
– Optional: Place a heart sticker on the lid of the box. Totally optional. If you do go this route, just peel off the heart sticker the next day, after spraying (when the paint is dry).
– Wearing a mask and goggles ::nerd alert:: (safety first), spray your gold paint onto your box. Note: there are a couple ways you can do this… you can follow the spray can directions for an even coat… or, get it all done in one coat. I got it all done at once. I sprayed closer than 6 – 8 inches and didn’t wait for the paint to dry ::whoops:: BUT, I wanted a few air bubbles and uneven gold paint. If you want even smooth paint… follow those directions.
– Let the paint dry 24 hours (or whatever your spray paint directions say).
– Optional: cut up tiny pieces of a pretty piece of paper for a cushion. I used one sheet of a teal metallic.
– You’re done! Time to share this magic with a friend – or loved one – or secret admirer?
Cost (I already had all of these items):
– Box: free
– Paper confetti: free
– Paint: Free
Today is only the 2nd day of my 50 DIY Days, but if you’d like to keep up with all the posts… they’ll be here:

The most common mistake engineers make during the designer-developer handoff
In my tenure as an engineer at InVision, I’ve seen many mistakes made throughout the development process (some of them my own.) Usually, though, the worst mistakes happen during the designer-developer handoff. While I’d love to believe a prototype ensures success (especially as an InVision employee), this isn’t always the case. We often forget that designing a prototype is just one step in the process. There’s no doubt that it’s an invaluable step, but it’s important to remember it’s just one of many. Here’s why:
Handoffs aren’t a moment in time, but a process
In the engineering world, we often talk about prototypes as being “passed over the wall,” the handoff metaphorically positioned as a singular event marking the end of the “design process” and the beginning of the “engineering process.” The problem with this mindset is that product creation is not an assembly line, but a collaboration. When engineers and designers don’t have the opportunity to continually bring their different skills and perspectives to the table, it jeopardizes a product.

We all work for the user
While designers and engineers may work on different teams with differing day-to-day objectives, we must remember who all products are really for: the user. Everyone must work and advocate for them. Performance is just as important to a user as any feature on a prototype, and engineers must remember their insights are just as important as designers.
Many times, I’ve seen engineers stick to a design, even when it hinders a product’s performance, because they think a prototype is “Absolute Truth.” Or, even when they deviate from the design, they don’t explain the changes to designers. These missed collaborations translate into missed edge-cases, ignored empty states, and unnecessary or impossible features making it into final products.
Automatically translate designs into specs, measurements, colors, and more.
Try it now
All information is valid and needed
Engineers must remember that, although designers may have robust thought processes and intense familiarity with a product, they’re only human and can’t possibly know everything. Some important information may only come about during implementation. Engineers need to feel empowered to make the necessary changes only they can make.
Collaboration starts early and often
Many times, this stepping-on-toes feeling stems from collaboration not being baked into the design process. Ideally, engineers are involved early—to provide sanity checks and additional perspectives—and continues often. Unfortunately, though, engineers don’t usually have control over early involvement (if they even know that ideation is taking place).
As such, engineers must be diligent about promoting collaboration on their end of the product life-cycle: After receiving the design assets, they must feel free to go back to designers for more information and clarifying details.
It all boils down to this: If there’s something you don’t understand: Ask. If there’s something you think may be a mistake: Flag it. There’s no such thing as having “too much clarity.” Your users will appreciate it.

Are you craving some Disney World deliciousness? We have the cure right here! Walt Express is excited to bring you the homemade Dole Whip! Check out: Disney World Copycat Recipes: The Dole Whip!
Recipes: The Dole Whip
Oh my goodness, we cannot wait to share this revised version of our yummy Dole Whip. We published this recipe years ago but, we have resurrected it to make sure it still tastes good, of course and to add some more yummy ingredients! We also added a healthier version, so be sure to check out both recipes.
Just in time for the hottest part of the Summer! But, who am I kidding? This Dole Whip recipe tastes good anytime of the year, honestly! “Whip” up a batch of this delicious goodness and share with the family. Or, DON’T share! It’s totally up to you!
No Secrets Here!
It’s no secret that Disney’s Dole Whip is my all time favorite Disney snack. According to our readers, it’s A LOT of y’all’s favorite too! In fact, it was no surprise that it was number ONE on our list recently! Check it out, right here: 20 Snacks You Can’t Miss in Disney World. There are some pretty amazing snack choices here, but the majority wins on this one!
Now I realize not everyone shares my affinity for tasty, pineappley goodness, but we can’t all have excellent taste! HA! We scoured the internet and Pinterest for hours (OK, it was really like minutes) and ended up coming up with our own recipe. There were a ton of variations online; some were super complicated and others were a bit more simple. Some of them required an ice cream freezer and hours of setting time and others were more my style. We went the quick and easy route and jumped in with ingredients we had on hand. This recipe is super easy and fun and of course pretty tasty too!
In the end, our recipe isn’t exactly like a Dole Whip from the park, but it came in pretty close. Give it a try and let me know what you think! It’s really hard to beat this perfectly pineapple cold treat!
Want a healthier version with less sugar, but is still tasty? Check out this healthy homemade Disney Dole Whip treat! Still ever bit as delicious, just less sugar. A total win-win.
Disney World Dole Whips
There are several locations around Disney World to find a Dole Whip. One of our favorite spots is in the Magic Kingdom at Aloha Isle. Another favorite spot is at Disney’s Polynesian Resort at their very own Pineapple Lanai. These are also available on the Disney Dining Plans as a snack credit.
Be sure to keep watching Walt Express for MORE great Disney World copycat recipes! If you have a favorite you would like to create at home, or have created at home let us know on the Disney Express Lane Facebook Group to discuss this and many other Disney related topics.

Q: Will meal replacement drinks, bars and packaged food help me lose weight more successfully?
A: We’re all individual, and what helps one person lose weight may not be helpful for another. Several research reviews in recent years identify a few studies in which using meal replacement drinks, bars or packaged food as part of a larger lifestyle program may boost weight loss by a few extra pounds. It appeared to help for about six months, but the review found the evidence was not that strong. More studies are needed to understand whether that advantage continues longer term. But even if it doesn’t, successfully losing weight in the first few months can help some people stay motivated and focused to develop new long-term habits.
Adopting long-term habits, though, is your key to achieving and maintaining weight loss long-term. You may find meal replacements help as you learn new healthy behaviors, for example, it may help teach you about portion control, especially for high calorie foods. And, if you can learn to fill up on low-calorie, nutrient-rich vegetables and other health-promoting foods like fruit, whole grains, beans and nuts, you’ll learn how to make these foods the foundation of your eating.
Since excess body fat is so strongly linked to greater risk of cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes, using meal replacement products may be one way to help you to start on the path to weight loss. On the other hand, these products are expensive, and they certainly are not necessary for many people to reshape eating habits. If you choose to use them, make sure they are just one part of an overall plan to create a healthy lifestyle and that you plan to make the transition to a sustainable approach to eating balanced meals with healthful whole foods.

I am coming to appreciate Pinot noirs more and more. They are very food friendly. And is a go to for me when it comes to turkey and the like. This one is in the general list at the LCBO so very easy to put your hands on. Garnet in color with a nice rustic nose. On the mid palate the wine displays nice rustic notes to match the nose. Lots of varietal soft red berry notes. On the medium length finish the wine displays some nice soft tannins and acidity. It is a varietal yummy pinot. I would give it an 88 or so. Very nice for the price.
Ara Pathway Pinot Noir — LCBO#: 416230

Clear medium ruby in colour; forward cherry and berry aromas, with notes of spice and toasted oak; dry, with light/medium body, youthful, slightly grippy tannins and lively acidity; flavours of tart cherry and redcurrant, with spicy oak lingering on a long finish; drink now, or cellar for up to five years. $16.95

Jerard sold our last home 3 years ago. He’s a true professional and I never considered anyone else. I wasn’t disappointed Jerard sold my house in 3 days and for more than asking price One of his strengths is he’s always available and always communicates
Fri, 27 Dec 2019
Jerard was incredible to work with. He traveled an hour almost every weekend to help us find our perfect home. He was always easy to reach and answered all of our questions quickly and efficiently. Couldn’t recommend him more!
Thu, 20 Dec 2018
Jerard was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. My family and I were very pleased with the price we got and the sale in general. Although there were a few hiccups along the way, Jerard steered us through them calmly. I have quite a few realtor friends but chose Jerard for his professionalism and I have no regrets.
Tue, 4 Dec 2018
Excellent experience- Jerard is very knowledgeable of the area and neighboring areas which made us feel even more comfortable with selecting him as our realtor. He totally understood our wants and needs in a home and succeeded in finding and closing the deal on our new home. Jerard is very relatable and made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. He always made himself available whenever we called or emailed him. He handled all aspects during the buying process and was in constant contact with everyone involved. I would certainly recommend Jerard to anyone I know that is currently looking to buy a new home. He exceeded our expectations and was a pleasure to work with. We hope to work with him in the future when buying our next home :)
Tue, 14 Aug 2018
Jerard has been an amazing agent for me when looking for an apartment rental in the past. There was no doubt in my mind who I wanted to use when looking for a house. Jerard has exceeded all of my expectations and has answered all of my millions of questions throughout this process. Jerard Drewes is the best and I would only recommend the best.
Wed, 1 Aug 2018
Jerard was simply phenomenal through the whole process. He’s an asset to C21, and I’ll be recommending him to all of my friends.
Sun, 15 Jul 2018
Jerard Drewes was extemely patient as my family looked at a ton of houses in various areas on Long Island. We we on the hunt for our forever home and Jerard gave up numerous hours of his time to show us houses and answer many of our text messages/phone calls. My two small children came to most of the houses with us and he was great with them as well. He is someone you can trust and has fun personality to work with. We have referred him to numerous people in hopes that they reach out to him as well when they are ready to sell and or buy!
Tue, 12 Jun 2018
We have used Jerard Drewes multiple times and will continue to as long as we can. We highly recommend him to all of my friends/family and anybody looking for a true professional and gentleman who genuinely cares about their career and making his clients happy. Jerard goes above and beyond each and every time and we can’t thank him enough!
Tue, 12 Jun 2018
Jerard was very professional through out the entire experience. Always on time for our appointments, available when we needed him and knowledgeable with questions we had during the house hunting process. I would highly recommend him when selling and buying property. He was able to sell our place for over asking price and negotiate a fair price when buying a house in the tough real estate market.
Tue, 8 May 2018
I first met Jerard Drewes at an open house and he was immediately very knowledgeable about the place and location and was very approachable about any questions I may have had! This was my first time purchasing a home and Jerard definitely made it less stressful and easy! Jerard was easy to contact and always got back to me right away! He was very accommodating with my work schedule and was quick to set up any meetings or appointments necessary. I felt comfortable contacting Jerard about any questions or concerns I may have had throughout the process. I had as little stress as possible in the process and it had a lot to do with Jerard and his professionalism.
Wed, 18 Apr 2018
We wanted someone we could trust! Jerard was very professional and sold our house much faster than we thought it would sell. He was patient with us as we were pretty set with getting asking price and we did! Jerard was very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable, as selling our home was a tough decision.
Wed, 27 Sep 2017
Great experience, exceptional service and Very knowledgeable about the neighborhood
Fri, 15 Sep 2017
Jerard Drewes was able to get us into houses we were interested before their open houses which was nice. He Met us at all listings and had information for us about each house. Tried to schedule back to back showings so it was convenient for us.
Wed, 23 Aug 2017
Jerard was very sensitive to our needs and made sure to provide us with enough information so we would make a well informed decision towards our purchase. Our first buying experience was fun and less stressful as anticipated thanks to Jerard for being on top of his game! We would definitely work with Jerard again in the future.
Fri, 4 Nov 2016
From day 1 Jerard was top notch. His professionalism and knowledge of both the local market and purchasing process was outstanding. He made us comfortable and showed us that he was one our team! Jerard helped us both sell our apartment and buy our new home. His dedication to our needs was much appreciated. My wife and I have a busy work schedule and he was able to always schedule open houses and showings around our schedule and most of all MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. We were able to sell our Co-op for higher than any other real estate agent expected or said we would. His knowledge of Long Island and the different home options were excellent. He was able to negotiate a price lower than our opening bid! He even helped us attain homeowners insurance and a home inspector. He helped us SELL HIGH and BUY LOW! The whole process with Jerard on our side was EASY. Jerard is an exemplary agent and should be the benchmark for other people within Century 21. His personality is worth the brokerage fee! My wife and I would sincerely like to thank Jerard and the Century 21AA team for being so attentive to our needs and making this an easy selling/buying experience!
Sun, 4 Sep 2016
Did a great job and did everything he said he would do.
Fri, 17 Jun 2016
Jerard went above and beyond on every occasion I dealt with him. Absolutely would refer friends/family to work with Jerard. Very satisfied! As a first time buyer I was more than happy with the services provided by Jerard and the process could not have been any more perfect.
Wed, 9 Sep 2015
We could not have asked for a better experience in dealing with Jerard Drewes while purchasing our first home. He was very attentive and took all of our needs/preferences into consideration while showing us potential homes. We most certainly would recommend him to anyone in the market for a new home!
Tue, 9 Jun 2015
Jerard Drewes is a very professional agent, he answeres all my questions very detail and quickly; he always answer my phone calls, if he missed it, he call me back very quick, very professional for all the paper works and help me (a first time home buyer) understanding the procedure of buying a house.

Drain Cleaning – Clogged sewers can be a nuisance. Whether it be during the day or in the middle of the night, when a sewer clogs it’s never a good time. We offer this service using the appropriate equipment to take care of your “stinky” situations quickly and as painless as possible.
Electric/Gas Water heater Repair and Installation – Water heaters are definitely an appliance that most people cannot live without. It always seems to quit working at the worst times. Fortunately we can offer repairs for your water heater or even replacement if necessary. There are many people that can offer this service, but you need to make sure that the person you hire is licensed and the water heater you install is the best for your home. There are also many codes that need to be considered if they are not part of your current heater and we can accommodate these for you.
Tankless water heater consultation & installation – Tankless water heaters … wow what a revolutionary appliance!! These heaters have come a long way and are very useful as they never run out of hot water. Who would’ve ever thought that was possible?!? We can install these for you and even service them in the years to come to make your invested money last longer. Natural gas and propane heaters seem to be the most efficient and tend to put a satisfying smile on all our customers faces.
Water softeners – Ladies and gentlemen, we live in the Texas hill country. Yes, this is the part of Texas that has some of the hardest water we’ve ever come across. The water hear will ruin any and every fixture in your home if your aren’t careful. Shower valves, kitchen faucets, shut off valves, toilets, and even your dishwasher will suffer from hard water. We have found that in order to protect the above listed investments, a water softener is most definitely a necessity.
Slab leak investigation, repair, & re-route – If you have found yourself losing water or maybe see water coming up from your slab, we can help. Though it can be a time consuming process we can locate and eliminate the problem under the slab and re-route it over head using a new route in the ceiling.
Sewer inspections with camera – In the plumbing field there always seems to be a brick wall called “the unknown”. With our modern day tools, we are able to take a camera and run down your sewer line to inspect any problems that may be costing you money now or in the future. There are plenty of times that a pipe will crack and allow roots to grow inside the pipe and with our camera we can locate that problem and give a price to repair.
Garbage Disposal – Garbage disposals are in an appliance category of their own. They tend to be used and abused and sometimes keep on kicking, but most of the time need to be replaced or even taken apart. Items such as potato peels, rice, carrot peels, and (clears throat) bottle caps do not belong there. We can service your disposal for any of these reasons and more.
Gas Line Repair/Replacement – Gas is something you really don’t want to mess with. There is a reason we carry a license for this job. When there is a gas leak we can use our “magic” and locate the problem and give you a price to repair or replace the issue. If a gas meter is removed by the utility company, we can pull a permit and get you back up and running quickly. We use a material to run gas lines in your attic called CSST (Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing). We also use black pipe in the exterior walls to prevent nails and screws from puncturing the pipe when sheetrock is repaired or any cover is installed.
Installing/repairing kitchen & bathroom fixtures (lavatories, showers, sinks, tubs, & toilets) – Do you have a fixture that you want installed, but just don’t have time or the skill to do it? We can do that for you!! We can purchase the toilet or install yours. If you have an existing toilet that constantly runs or makes weird noises, we can make that go away. If that old kitchen faucet has finally given up the ghost, we can give you advise on which way to go with a new one. If you have a shower valve that is leaking or not wanting to cooperate with you, we can make those repairs too. Give us a call whatever the reason!

Is Derek Hough married?
The 33-year-old dance pro has been dating fellow dancer Hayley Erbert since 2015. While Hayley's name might not sound too familiar, the 25-year-old has appeared on DWTS as a member of the show's dance troupe for years. She also did place third in the females category on So You Think You Can Dance in 2013.
Hayley and Derek first danced together on the show to "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran — the year they started dating. A year before, she had worked on Derek and sister Julianne Hough's Move Live! dance tour.
Though his younger sister, Julianne, made her way down the aisle in 2017, it by no means put any pressure on Derek to get married. He's fine with taking the time to figure out that he's with the right person before making that commitment.
"I want to marry once," he said to ET. "I want to be with that person that I love dearly. I want to get to know that person. I feel like, if anything, it’s something that I don’t feel like should be rushed into doing at all." He also described Hayley as "grounded."
The couple has posted many cute pictures together in the four years since they've been dating. Most recently, Hayley served as a support system when Derek was rushed to the hospital.
Why was Derek Hough in the hospital?
Derek shocked fans when he announced on Nov. 17 that he had been rushed to the hospital. He detailed the scary circumstances that led him to get emergency surgery on Instagram.
"Woke up at 3 a.m. with a severe and a sharp pain in my abdomen. Knew something wasn’t right," he wrote. "Turned out it was appendicitis and had surgery to remove my appendix straight away." But, he clearly was in better spirits as he posted a video of him trying to dance for Hayley.
Derek also noted that the pain came on the heels of him landing back in the states after spending time in South Korea.
"By the way, I could barely walk," Derek said of the pain. "I was king of crawling around the floor hunched over in pain. So Hayley drove me to the hospital and anyways, long story short, it's acute appendicitis and I'm about to have surgery."
Sounds like Hayley is in the running for the Girlfriend of the Year award — or an engagement ring!
DWTS airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.

The Art of Special Effects
Graphic design major learns the ropes at Chicago digital studio
Jonathan Carter ’18 is gaining firsthand experience in using design, animation and special effects in the production of commercials and videos.
A graphic design and art business major from St. Louis, Carter landed an internship at Protokulture, a digital studio in Chicago’s River North neighborhood that produces commercials and video segments for broadcasters and film studios such as Fidelity, Dreamworks, the Big Ten Network, Kmart and Purina.
At Protokulture, Carter has learned how to marry words with images so that they move together on the screen. He scavenged clips and images from an existing film for use in future projects. And he worked as a production assistant on a commercial shoot for DieHard. “I got to operate the fog machine to create the right aesthetic for some shots,” he said.
A center midfielder on the College’s soccer team during his first two years at Elmhurst, Carter got serious about graphic design as a junior.

He’s run his own design business since high school, designing album covers with handwritten fonts, T-shirts and logos. His clients include musician friends, local bands, clothing companies, and people who found him by word of mouth or social media.
The Protokulture internship will fill in the last remaining credits he needs to graduate. “I’m learning the business—what goes into design and animation, how it works behind the scenes,” he said. “That will determine the direction I go—the future is pretty open.”
