Angie Wilson AKA Gnome Angel is such a joy, her blog and social media are filled with gorgeous projects and the most wonderful fussy cuts! I was super excited when I found out she was writing a book and leapt at the chance to be part of the blog tour - or bribed her - either way I was thrilled to discover this book was even better than I thought it would be (and I had high expectations).
Fussy Cutters Club isn't a dry 'blah blah blah' book, this is like a clever friend explaining fussy cutting to you. With all those really helpful practical tips that you know they actually use. There aren't hard and fast rules, Angie is real and honest in her approach. It makes total sense.
"You need time to think and consider fabrics. Sometimes a project will come together quickly, and you'll know the moment you get the right fabric. Other times you'll need time to think, and that's not a bad thing".
The projects in the book are also all brilliant, with a good range of smaller makes and quilts.
I opted to make the 'We Are All Connected' mini quilt, knowing right away those Echinacea's would be the central hexies and then doing a big stash dive to come up with the right colours and prints for the 'rings'.
I did go for slightly smaller shapes than the templates, only because I decided to buy papers from sew & quilt rather than make my own. Time is of the essence nowadays! Once the pieces are cut and basted this does sew together relatively quickly for an epp project. Pulling out the papers was satisfying and then it was on to deciding how to finish and quilt.
I auditioned a few fabric backgrounds, originally I was going to have something very plain but it looked a bit boring, this Dottie in Rosewater by Cotton + Steel print gives movement and makes the shapes pop even more.
It called for simple quilting, straight lines either side of the rows of dots, which I did before appliquéing the epp unit to the background. It was quilted using 40wt Aurifil #2205, the most beautiful pale peach.
I used my trusty fabric glue pen to hold the epp in place and then top stitched around the edges using Aurifil Brillo #752 Copper. It's a stunning thread and this colour might just be my favourite yet - from a recent Brillo haul.
The metallic adds such a pretty shine, I also used it to stitch in the ditch around the hexies.
It isn't a total finish... I'm still deciding whether to make this a mini quilt or a large cushion?! I do have the binding picked out either way!

Your project is really pretty! I like your use of your fabric in the design.
Saw this piece on IG today! Love the coneflower centers. Mini rainbow with flowers!
Oh wow....love what you have done and the book does sound interesting...great review.
It really turned out wonderful.
A great advert for what sounds like an interesting book!
such a pretty fussy cuts!
Wow, you did a lovely job choosing special fabrics and putting it together so neatly. Thanks for sharing.
This is gorgeous! I really like the book and trying to start the tote!
Beautiful quilt Lucy. Just love the colours and design.
It's gorgeous! I can't wait to get my copy (I was lucky enough to win one from Ange's recent giveaway!) and pick out what to start first!
What fun! I do like what you did with the prints, that wonderful floral center and putting it on the dotty stripe. It is a sensational example of fussy cutting and color placement. Thanks for sharing it on the hop. | https://www.charmaboutyou.com/2017/10/fussy-cutters-club-we-are-all-connected.html |
If I ever have unrealistic expectations of myself, as a woman and one day as a mother, it’s because of these two wonderful women. They’ve loved me, supported me, encouraged me, and shaped so much of who I am. They’re mommas in every sense of the word.
Denise – you’re the perfect bonus mom. You encourage me and support me, and have opened your arms and home to me since the very beginning. You’re servant’s heart is such an inspiration, and I’m so thankful to have you, and for all of the wisdom you share.
Momma – you’re my rock and my rockstar. You have made endless sacrifices for my joy and molded every part of who I am. Your advice is worth its weight in gold, and I’ll always measure my life in terms of geographical closeness to you. I simply couldn’t do this without you.
To my baby mommas – look at you glow! I’m so happy for you, your bundles of joy, and the life that you’re nurturing in this world. Being a momma is the hardest and sweetest thing (so I’ve heard), and you’re doing it so well.
To my mommas to angels and my mommas in waiting – you are not forgotten, and you are so loved. You are not alone in the loss you feel today, and we are there to help you carry it. | https://hellomorningglory.com/2015/05/10/the-one-for-all-the-mommas/ |
To be honest, it feels the same besides that when you write the date you kind of need to change from 2016 to 2017, which it’s a habit probably everyone needs to change. Reminded me of a conversation with a friend over the phone saying about ‘Oh it happened last week’ then my friend said ‘You mean last year’ and laughed about that.
Any new year resolution for me? Not really. I don’t make those resolutions as I know that it won’t last long. But I do make smaller goals that’s easier to achieve…Wait does this contradict what I said? Strongly, I consider making new years resolution something bigger in goals. Still, everyone has different views what is something big. So, okay I made a resolution, which is read more books. The last three days, I finally read one of the books I’ve been looking forward to. Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge. I got to say, I enjoyed it and the ending was satisfying to me yet I wanted more from it. This lead me wanting to read more books. I do have two books I got before Cruel Beauty that I still hadn’t read.
How spent my new year eve day?…The same thing I did on Christmas, by myself. I thought I was having deja vu. Meh, it’s alright. I slept before the new year arrived. Also, another thing is to become more active on this blog. | https://talkaboutboring.wordpress.com/tag/goals/ |
Amen to this a thousand times.
What if Harry Potter was a black kid?
That’s the question that author Troy CLE initially tried to answer when he created his character, Louis Proof.
But it would be simplistic to paint Louis as simply a black version of the beloved Harry. Louis is a very different character. The brainchild of Troy, Louis loves listening to hip-hop, racing radio-controlled cars, and hanging out with his best friend, Brandon. If he sounds a little normal, maybe it’s because he is meant to be. | https://thedailybanter.com/2007/04/19/black-harry-potter/ |
What: "Each Chakra is like a mini database holding all your experiences from this life and past lives, although they each have a specific focus."
What: "Each chakra is like a solid ball of energy interpenetrating the physical body, in the same way that a magnetic field can interpenetrate the physical body."
METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle. | http://www.metamia.com/analogize.php?q=each+chakra |
Whether your school has gone GAFE (Google Apps for Education) or you use Google Apps yourself, the improved workflow of Google’s free suite is an undeniable enhancement to any teacher’s repertoire. Many educators understand this and have become certified with Google’s tools. For those who haven’t, or those who simply want a refresher on some of the more directly applicable features of GAFE, I will be sharing a six-part Google Apps Summer Camp Series of blog posts to coincide with the conclusion of the school year. Consider it a launching point for your continued professional development in preparation for next year.
For now, let’s talk about Gmail and why those in-the-know understand that it’s more than just email. Gmail allows users to work fast, work smart, and save time. And it has a number of different built-in tools that do exactly that.
Rather than using folders to categorize email messages, Gmail utilizes Labels. Labels are exactly what they sound like, a folksonomic system for organizing email to support organization, search, and retrieval. But while the only difference between folders and labels might seem lexical, it is really anything but. Traditional email folders allow you to store messages in one location at a time. And it is up to you to remember which folder you stored your emails in. Labels, on the other hand, allow you to tag emails with multiple keywords so that you can attach messages to numerous topics while still being able to search for them with specific strategic operators. In addition to associating email messages with text-based labels, Label categories can be color-coded for enhanced organization in your Gmail ecosystem.
Tasks is another simple yet sensible feature available in Gmail. We all have responsibilities that we need to keep track of, and Gmail’s Tasks feature makes doing so very straightforward. By clicking Tasks from the Mail drop-down menu, Gmail users can easily assemble different to-do lists for themselves or their groups. Additionally, tasks can be assigned to Task Lists from within actual emails. This serves two main purposes. One is that users can instantly delegate important items sent to them by someone else to one of their Task Lists to be addressed later. And the second is the ability to email yourself items on the go to be added to your Task List next time you sit down to access your Gmail inbox. Characteristic of all Google Apps, each scheduled to-do automatically syncs and appears in your Google Calendar when you set a due date for tasks. In other words, you’ll never miss a deadline again.
With Gmail, communication isn’t limited to email alone. Rather, the opportunity to connect with other Gmail users through text chat, voice call, and video conferencing makes getting in touch more personable. Gmail is smart, meaning that among other things it can identify important contacts and people you prefer to connect with. Found in the left hand sidebar of the Gmail interface, you can start a chat, voice call, or Hangout with your listed frequent contacts or other Gmail users in your organization by clicking on their profile (or typing their username into the directory). Additionally, you can initiate a chat from within an email message itself. With this Gmail feature, there is no limit to the number of people you can chat with at any one time. And Gmail automatically logs and stores each chat with a chat Label to be searched and referred to later. Gmail chat also enables “Off the Record” conversations that still serve the purpose of a communique but without the paper trail that is left behind by the default settings. So whether you are holding open office hours for students or chatting about where you and a colleague are going to grab dinner, Chat is available and accommodating.
This is where we draw on the metaphor about barely touching the tip of the iceberg. But then again, that might be why Gmail is favored by many inside and outside of education. It’s not your average email client and Gmail’s capabilities support that. For those who have used it, Gmail becomes indispensable to an organization or class. To learn more about additional Gmail features including Contacts, Archiving, Priority Mail, and Labs, click here. As you begin to experiment and explore, let me know what you would add to this primer. Better yet, email me at [email protected]. We could even chat about it. | https://www.gettingsmart.com/2014/04/google-apps-summer-camp-gmail/ |

This is a permanent method of contraception – your eggs cannot be fertilised, so you can’t get pregnant.
There are six different methods to perform a sterilization. Some of them can be reversed, but at a very high cost, and without the guarantee that it actually works.
Sterilization generally doesn’t impact your periods. It can decrease your risk of getting ovarian cancers.
The method does require minor surgery, which can have complications. And especially for young women, there is the risk that they later regret going for a non-reversible method of birth control. So you should be absolutely sure that this is what you want.
Male sterilization, or vasectomy, is a birth control method with very low failure rate. It’s considered a non-reversible method, which means that once it’s done, the man won’t be able to have any more children.
It requires minor surgery, which comes with small risks, such as bruising and pain.
Vasectomies don’t interfere with sexual function.
One of the concerns, just like with female sterilization, is regretting to choose a non-reversible option later on. So you should be aware that once it’s done, you won’t be able to father any more children.
It’s simpler, safer, cheaper, and more effective than female sterilization. It’s also one of the only really option (other than condoms) to get involved in birth control for men.
I read somewhere that Vasectomy can be reversed is it true?
Hey Toney, with today's advancement in medicine Vasectomy can be reversed. The procedure is however very complicated and may at times not be successful.
Hey Chanty, visit any Marie Stopes centre in Johannesburg and they will be able to assist.
...but vasectomy can now be reversed which means its not permanent anymore!
Hi, with medical advancement this procedure can be reversed but it is a much more complicated procedure which may also be unsuccessful. It is important then that one carefully considers the decision to have a vasectomy done.
I think vasectomy can now be reversed though the surgery is risky and may not be successful in reversing the procedure.
Hi Antony, we agree. It is for this reason important to carefully consider this decision because of the complexity of trying to get the procedure reversed. | https://lovemattersafrica.com/birth-control/types-of-birth-control/sterilization |
An urbane screwball comedy for the '90s, Mr. Jealousy, the sophomore effort from director Noah Baumbach (Kicking and Screaming), is filled with numerous obscure references to famous films that will delight film buffs. The story concerns Lester (Eric Stoltz), an ex-television news producer and sometime substitute teacher, who seems to be just wandering through life. He also can't seem to connect with the right woman. Opportunities on both fronts finally knock when he gets an offer teaching writing in the Iowa University graduate writing program and through his pals Lucretia (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) and Vince (Carlos Jacott) meets Ramona (Annabella Sciorra), a strong-willed but loopy girl. She and Lester really click, and it looks as though he has finally found his dream girl. Only one thing prevents them from sailing off into the sunset of relationship bliss -- Lester is insanely jealous of her last boyfriend, Dashiell (Chris Eigeman), a haughty best-selling author; the other 25 don't bother him a bit.
You probably haven't heard a lot about writer-director Noah Baumbach yet. Trust me, you will.
With its movie references and psycho-babble,, Baumbach's follow-up to the highly acclaimed Kicking and Screaming is imitative of Woody Allen and Stillman, a slender, one-premise serio-comedy that's better scripted and acted than helmed.
Overlong, mediocre romantic comedy that barely even delivers on its premise.
A little coolly, but also sensibly, Baumbach would rather us open up and inspect his world than be swayed by it.
Yeeeeah not so much Noah. Not so much. I'm not liking you here very much.
This is a chick flick, don't get me wrong I have watch many a chick flick and enjoyed a number of them, but this one is from the bottom of the bucket. 1 star is all I'll give it.
Eh... it was okay to watch. Not on the To-See-Again list though.
Between this and The Squid and the Whale, I'm beginning to think Kicking and Screaming was a one-off. | https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mr_jealousy |

Two years ago while doing my Career Development at Naval Research Laboratories (NRL), Washington, D.c., I began searching for a SIP internship there that would utilize my mathematical skills as well as the skimpy amount of computer science knowledge I had gathered through a few classes. The internship I obtained was with the ENEWS Program (Effectiveness for Naval Electronic Warfare systems), and they had promised me a project vast enough to meet graduate-level thesis standards. Consequently, I wasn't able to finish the program they had assigned to me. But throughout the two-and-a-half months I spent there this year, I had my fill of mathematical derivations and code-writing. The project described in this report is what I accomplished in the time allotted. I have included in the epilogue the tasks that remain to be completed which I myself may tackle if I accept NRL's post-college-graduate employment offer. | https://cache.kzoo.edu/handle/10920/25197 |
Decluttering certainly doesn’t sound like the most exotic or exciting of household tasks but it’s one of the most satisfying to complete. You’ll love looking around at your newly-cleaned home that’s been rid of large gatherings of disused items, while you’ll get a strong sense of accomplishment when you’ve finished decluttering, as it’s one of those tasks which usually takes a lot of time to complete.
The hardest part can often be finding the motivation to begin decluttering and identifying a strategy for where and how to start. It’s a task that’s best managed one room at a time, going all-out on the kitchen, for example, before you even begin taking on the living room or bathroom. In terms of how to approach it, emphasize a certain task which you believe will make a quick impact, whether that’s filling a garbage bag with items to be thrown away, sorting items into boxes based on their proposed fate, or a longer-term approach of binning one item each day until you’re left with a much tidier home.
If you want to turn decluttering into a game, try your hand at the ’12-12-12 challenge’. This involves taking on 36 items at a time and sorting them evenly into three categories: throwaway items, charity donations and items to be returned to their rightful place. It’s one way to add a bit of excitement to decluttering!
Each room in your home will have differing levels of clutter and different structures, but most (if not all) will have some form of storage, such as drawers and cabinets. These are a good place to start; go through each of these thoroughly and bin anything you’re not using or not expecting to use. This is not a time for sentiment – if there’s an item that you haven’t used in at least a year and you can’t reasonably foresee any scenario where you will use it, time to toss it out or give it to charity.
For further decluttering advice, check out this infographic from EZ Living Interiors, which goes from room to room with pointers on where to start decluttering.

She is very experienced in this industry and frequently contributes informative content on home interiors. | https://zigverve.com/lifestyle/home/home-making/home-declutter-guide-infographic/ |
Anyone that has used SSH, Tmux or Screen for a while will have inevitably dumped excessive output to their terminal. Depending on the size of the output you may have experienced the dreaded lockup. That horrible realization seconds after you hit the command where signals just stop working and you just have to sit there and wait for your terminal to catch up.
There is a piece of remote connection software called Mosh that I’ve been told handles this pretty well, but I don’t yet trust its security model and it doesn’t prevent the same thing from happening locally.
This is especially bad if you’re working in a multi-pane tmux window as it’s locks up all the terminals in the same window, and prevents you from changing to the other windows.
I’ve had this issue happen to me one too many times but never thought of looking for a solution until a friend of mine, Gabe Koss, made a passing comment along the lines of “Too bad tmux can’t rate limit the output of a terminal”.
A quick search through the doc and two relatively recent configuration options popped out doing exactly what I was looking for (c0-change-internal, and c0-change-trigger). Googling around for good values, left me wanting. A lot of people were recommending setting the values to 100 and 250 respectively; These are the defaults and since I still experience the issue are clearly not working for me.
To set the variables to something more reasonable I had to understand what they were doing. A ‘C0’ sequence is one that modifies the screen beyond a normal character sequence, think newlines, carriage returns, backspaces. According to the tmux man page, the trigger will catch if the number of c0 sequences per millisecond exceeds the number in the configuration file, at which point it will start displaying an update once every interval number of milliseconds.
I can’t see faster than my eye’s refresh rate so that seems like a decent starting point. According to Wikipedia the human eye/brain interface can process 10-12 images per second but we can notice ‘choppiness’ below 48 FPS. Since I won’t be reading anything flying by that fast I settled on a maximum rate of 10 FPS updated in my shell, or an interval of ‘100ms’.
For the trigger I was significantly less scientific, I dropped the trigger by 50, reloaded my tmux configuration, cat’d a large file and tested whether I could immediately kill the process and move between panes. I finally settled on a value of ‘75’ for the trigger rate. It does make the output seem a little choppy but it is significantly nicer to not kill my terminal. | https://stelfox.net/blog/2014/03/preventing-tmux-lockups/ |
Mexican striker Raul Jimenez continued his outstanding debut Premier League season with a goal that may just ensure Wolves’ place in the FA Cup Final against Manchester City.
The celebration was pretty great as well, as Jimenez emphasized his 16th goal in all competitions with a lucha libre mask.
A Matt Doherty goal has Wolves up 1-0 on Sunday at Wembley Stadium when Jimenez found himself in a mass of humanity awaiting a cross.
That’s when Jimenez leapt and chested a cross into position for an airborne volley past Gomes.
It was magnificent, and the 27-year-old El Tri striker was ready with his mask. | https://sports.yahoo.com/watch-mexico-jimenez-celebrates-sensational-164054660.html |
The ITUC, along with its Colombian affiliates, has firmly condemned the murder on 5 June of Hernán Abdiel Ordoñez Dorado, treasurer of the executive board of the prison workers’ union ASEINPEC in Cali. Ordoñez was in the company of his mother when he was attacked by unknown assailants travelling by motorbike, who shot him dead with four bullets.
According to the information received by the ITUC, the trade union leader had been involved in denouncing alleged acts of corruption by top prison officers at the Women’s Prison. He had received death threats and an attempt had already been made on his life. The government had ignored the repeated requests of the CGT (Central General de los Trabajadores) to provide him with security.
In a letter to the Colombian authorities, the ITUC joined with the CGT in requesting that the Colombian government take every step necessary to clear up the motives behind this murder and to identify and bring all those responsible to justice.
"The Colombian authorities must take urgent and effective measures to guarantee the physical integrity of Colombian trade unionists," insisted ITUC General Secretary Guy Ryder. | https://www.ituc-csi.org/colombia-another-trade-union |
First-time home buyers in Montana face many financial challenges, such as qualifying for a mortgage. Making the down payment on a mortgage is another one, and affording the mortgage payments is a third. Fortunately, Montana citizens may apply for a Montana mortgage credit certificate (MCC). A mortgage credit certificate permits a taxpayer to receive an annual Federal income tax credit for a percentage of the interest paid on a mortgage during the Federal tax year. Consequently, home buyers may qualify for mortgages which lenders may not have originally extended without the mortgage credit certificate due to the use of the tax credit as extra accounted income on a monthly basis.
To qualify for a mortgage credit certificate in Montana, there are a few different criteria to meet. Firstly, you must be a first-time home buyer or an honorably-discharged military veteran. Secondly, the home you are purchasing must be claimed as your primary residence. Finally, you must meet certain home purchase price and income limits based on your specific county or metropolitan area. All Montana mortgage credit certificates are issued by the Montana Board of Housing.
It is also important to consider that a mortgage credit certificate is applicable to Federal income tax only; that is, 20 percent of the interest paid on the mortgage can be converted to a federal income tax credit, but not to a state income tax credit. The remaining 80 percent of the interest can be used as an itemized deduction in order to decrease the sum total of taxable income in a tax year. The maximum allowed annual Federal income tax credit from a Montana mortgage credit certificate is exactly $2,000.
To learn more about Montana mortgage credit certificates and how to apply for one, please refer to the Montana Board of Housing website at http://housing.mt.gov/About/homeownership/mcc.mcpx. | http://downpayment-programs.com/montana/programs-montana/montana-mortgage-credit-certificate.php |
The Board of the Georgia Academy for Economic Development announces graduates from the 2015 Region 9 Multi-Day Training Program. Milton Johnson, District 1 Eastman city councilman was one of the graduates. Class participants represented a number of professional and non-professional economic development fields, including elected officials, public servants, business leaders, educators and social service providers from 13 counties in the Heart of Georgia/Altamaha region. The Academy provided each of the graduates an opportunity to gain a unique understanding of the complexities of economic and community development on the local, regional, and state levels.
Created in 1993, the Academy assembles a cross section of economic development professionals and resources to provide this training in all twelve-service delivery regions in Georgia. The Board of Directors of the Academy represents public and private economic development organizations and agencies from across Georgia.
Since its organization, the Academy has provided training for thousands of professional and non-professional economic developers around the state, and since 1998 the Academy has been offered annually.
The Academy’s multi-day program, taught one day a month over a four-month period, includes training in the basics of economic and community development, plus specialized segments on business recruitment and retention, tourism product development, downtown development, planning, and other essentials for community success. In addition, the curriculum features specific leadership skills such as consensus building, ethics in public service, collaborative leadership and other segments needed for effective community leadership in economic development. Local elected officials may receive certification-training credits through the Association County Commissioners of Georgia and the Georgia Municipal Association for completion of this program. | http://www.dodgecountynews.com/archives/6155-Johnson-graduates-from-training-program.html |

The key cases and employment law legislation that could affect your business over the next 12 months.
2016 is here, and it brings with it important legislative changes, a key Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) verdict, and a possible referendum on the UK’s continued membership of the European Union.
Do you know your staging date yet? Do you even have any eligible workers? Most employers will pass their staging date for Automatic Enrolment by the end of the year. If you don’t know what your new pensions duties are we strongly recommend either taking a look at the Nest website or giving us a call for more information.
Exclusivity clauses in zero hours contracts become unenforceable from Monday 11th January 2016 under the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015. This means that an estimated 150,000 workers will be entitled to work for more than one employer at a time.
The EAT is expected to reach a verdict on the ongoing Holiday Pay case soon. British Gas Trading v Lock and Another concerns how the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling on holiday pay applies to UK law. This specifically concerns the calculation of commission in holiday payments.
If the appeal is unsuccessful it could mean that commission-earning employees are entitled to compensatory pay outs.
Friday 1st April is the day that a minimum wage of £7.20 for all workers over the age of 25 will finally come into force across the UK, an amount that is still lower than the Living Wage calculated by the Living Wage Foundation.
Research has found that Northern cities will be affected the most from the wage increase, as at least a quarter of the working populations of Sheffield, Nottingham, Leeds and Liverpool will benefit.
The Government has proposed 30 hours of free childcare a week for parents of children aged between three and four. As outlined in this policy statement from last year some areas will see implementation of this in September 2016, with a full roll out planned for September 2017.
The controversial Trade Union Bill 2015 could be in force by April. The introduction of thresholds and time limits on strike action is intended to reduce the number of union-led strikes.
On the subject of unions, Unison have indicated that they will mount a fourth attempt at repealing Employment Tribunal Fees. The Employment Tribunal admitted at the last hearing that the decline in the number of cases has been ‘worrying’.
The Counter-Extremism Bill will allow employers to legally monitor their employees in order to identify any extremist behaviour. As it has already received Royal Assent the bill could be in place this year, although there is already mounting political opposition that could delay this.
The bill, which is intended to prevent extremists from working with children, raises serious questions about the definition of extremism, what makes employers qualified to recognise it, and how widely the powers can be used. These tie in with concerns about how the bill will work alongside existing data protection and discrimination legislation.
The EU referendum has to happen before the end of 2017 but there are rumblings that it may happen as soon as this summer. For businesses, an exit from the EU will lead to a shift away from EU employment law and a smaller number of skilled employees. Meanwhile the potential effect on international trade is already being debated either way.
However the world of employment law 2016 develops, HR Solutions are here to keep you informed, updated and prepared.

It is clear that changes to agricultural policy is likely to have an effect on the rural economy on a scale not seen since the 1970s. For the first time in more than 40 years, the UK government has an opportunity to take control of agricultural policy. The detail is not yet clear, but what is certain is that changes to how BPS are awarded will mean farms and estates will need to be proactive and explore various ways to diversify their businesses.
At Carter Jonas, we are working with our clients to identify ways of maximising revenue from their land and assets.
Our next issue of Rural View magazine is all about diversification. Features include: what diversification is right for you, how to finance your idea, what planning consent you will need for your project and how to market your product. Packed with real-life stories from those that have diversified their traditional farming businesses to embrace, organic produce, renewable energy, breweries, glamping, gin distilleries and more. | http://www.farmbusinessshow.co.uk/news/blog.asp?blog_id=14703 |
I assume if you are reading this you are tired of seeing Internet Explorer eat up CPU cycles on your Citrix farm, hurting other users experience. I usually prefer to keep the browser out of the Citrix Session for security reasons, however in some cases this is not possible.
Log on, fire up IE11, and then click on the Tools icon, select Manage Add-Ons from the menu, and click on Tracking Protection in the list of Add-On Types.
Click on Add List from the dialog box, and close the Manage Add-ons dialog and restart your browser to begin testing.
Now it’s up to you to decide the method of deploying these settings. I will cover doing this with Group Policy Preferences – but there’s probably a multitude of ways to get this done, choose the one that’s easiest for your own environment.
On a server with the same OS as your Citrix farm, configure the settings and then export the settings to be able to import into the next step.
So we need to copy out the .tpl file from the testing user profile and copy it in when the user logs in to your farm.
Make sure that the Type for the Path value is correctly set to be REG_EXPAND_SZ rather than just REG_SZ.
I am still testing these settings, but I am hopeful they will have a positive impact on IE performance and security. | http://www.tech-no.org/?p=1466 |

What comes to mind when you hear the term conservation? Petitions, polar bears, politicians, researchers? David Attenborough? Did heavy equipment tearing up a rainforest floor come to mind? Unlikely. Nestled deep within our earth's largest temperate rainforest- conservation takes unique form.
This summer, the Sitkoh River Restoration Project mobilized a team of heavy equipment operators on the Tongass National Forest of Southeast Alaska. The US Forest Service, Trout Unlimited, Sitka Conservation Society and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game raised $318,000 and hired Aqua Terra Restoration to repair critical salmon spawning habitat damaged by clearcut logging in the 1970s. Logging adjacent to the river banks left the Sitkoh without adequate erosion control and the fallen timber salmon need. Dump trucks, chainsaws, and excavators converted blueprints and years of planning into wooden structures and a redirected riverbed that will return healthy fish habitat and stability to this damaged system.
Salmon habitat restoration is relatively new to the Tongass and constitutes a key part of the Forest Service's transition from old-growth logging to young-growth management, forest restoration, and investment in other industries-such as fishing and tourism. Across the forest, similar river and stream restoration projects are in various stages or have been completed with great success. Multiyear, complex, and dependent on powerful partnerships this rich form of salmon habitat restoration is by no means easy. However, in a land where salmon are lifeblood to both ecosystems and residents, protection of this critical resource is absolutely vital.
Habitat restoration benefits fish, fish-dependent ecosystems, and fish-dependent economies. It also provides career opportunities to skilled ecologists and equipment operators passionate about safeguarding our environment- people who prefer hardhats to suits, the company of bears to water cooler gossip and all in all want to build something good for our earth as opposed to something that's only good for industry.
There are over 70 damaged salmon-producing watersheds on the Tongass and the Forest Service estimates $100 million dollars are needed to repair them. Salmon and trout alone contribute more than $1 billion to Southeast Alaska's economy and employ some 7,300 people. It is critical that salmon become the top management priority of our country's largest national forest; managing for salmon employs restoration workers on the ground, benefits local subsistence and the fishing industry, and conserves salmon-dependent rainforest ecosystems.
The Tongass is one of the last remaining forests with healthy and abundant wild salmon runs. Making this species the Tongass' top priority makes sense for the ecosystem, the economy and anyone who loves to catch, eat or simply view wild salmon. | http://www.sitkawild.org/restoration_on_the_sitkoh |
Aficionados of Richard Wagner and Walter Benjamin take note. Walking out of the new Whitney Museum of Art out to and up the High Line extends the museum experience. You’ve actually left the building. You’re outside, but remain inside –i.e. inside the parameter of an expensive high-design concept. Built up out of time, as a Gesamtkunstwerk, the experience is peripatetic and “distracted,” combining architecture, art, park and garden. In motion, the flâneur walks around with a camera. All things are mixed together.
–From the High Line Wikpedia page: The park was designed by the James Corner‘s New York-based landscape architecture firm Field Operations and architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, with planting design from Piet Oudolf of the Netherlands, lighting design from L’Observatoire International, and engineering design by Buro Happold.
–The Arabic inscription with English translation was part of an installation by Palestinian Emily Jacir. The mural is AP 3852 from ex libris (2014). It draws attention to Palestinian books appropriated by the State of Israel as abandoned property after the 1948 Palestinian nakba. It makes a strong visual impression, but an also odd one, a large white surface nestled in the the red and yellow billboards.

This ring is the spirit of Frida, frozen into silver and Mother of Pearl, in the spirit of my culture. July 6 is her birthday, celebrate with this ring.
The Mother of Pearl carving is well protected by the raised silver areas around it.
Here I wish to show a great oneness with nature and culture. The skull with flowers in the eyes sees love all around but blinded by beauty.The big nostrils are wide open to remind us to take a breath of prana. This ring screams love not war. The stones are lab created Star Ruby 5mm, lab created Star Sapphire 5mm, and lab created Burmese Ruby 5mm ( The stones are identical chemical composition and hardness and light refraction, to the natural ). The stones represent planets that we all live with and the same ones Frida saw. On the side of the ring is a half face of the moon. This shows that we, like frida hide part of ourselves to everyone. On the other is the full shinny sun to celebrate life and shower us with flowers and love. This ring is a real celebration of life and death.
There is also a rose on one side, this is the great Diego Rivera.
The Mother of Pearl Skull carved by Ruben measures 1 1/8" tall and 3/4" wide. The bottom of the ring shank is 5/8 " wide. 50 grams of solid Sterling silver. The top of the ring or the "table" is 1 1/2 inches long by 1 1/4 inches wide, this is BIG. Look at photos of Frida, she wore this type of big ring, many of them.
I always love seeing pictures of Frida with her braids gathered on top of her head in an old Tehuana style from Mexico. I remember my Grandmother's braids that way sometimes.
Each ring is designed, hand made,and personally signed and dated by Ruben Xolotol Viramontes.
I will carve a new skull for each order, little changes may occur, they are one of a kind carvings, also material color may vary a little. | https://sistinas.livejournal.com/160781.html |

The AVIP Ceramic SS jersey represents the next stage in the development of the AVIP concept and has been designed to enhance protection, safety and training performance.
The AVIP Ceramic SS jersey provides enhanced rider protection through the inclusion of highly durable ceramic panelling in key areas on the shoulder and hip, and which is designed reduce the consequences of an accident or fall, in particular the road rash which is a common feature in cycling. We have used an innovative ceramic print technique as it is the ideal material for reducing friction on hard surfaces, yet is highly flexible during riding and offers aerodynamic advantages by disrupting airflow and minimising drag.
Designed for training performance, the jersey is lightweight and constructed from breathable four-way stretch fabric which also features mesh panels under the arms for enhanced ventilation. A full-length YKK zipper, three rear pockets with an extra waterproof mobile phone pocket all provide extra flexibility.
The AVIP Ceramic SS jersey is constructed from UV-resistant material with grippers at the hem and sleeves to ensure a precise ride fit. With reflective logo's and AVIP's unique high visibility colour and contrast panelling the jersey is the perfect embodiment of performance training and protection. | http://www.helendallat.co.uk/poc-avip-ss-ceramic-jersey-zinkorangehydrogenwhite-cheap-online-clearance-p-4864.html |

LISTEN NOW! John, Greg, and Pat discuss how over 12,000 churches have joined Reverend Billy Graham’s, My Hope Evangelistic outreach. Billy Graham’s Evangelistic Association has been spread out across the nation for over a year working with churches, pastors and individual believers for the outreach in November. They are emphasizing strong interpersonal relationships as a way to share the gospel; the good news of Jesus Christ. The idea is that the believer would minister to friends from a relational stand point maybe get together for a cup of coffee, show a 30 minute video of Billy Graham sharing the gospel and they share their personal testimony at the end. John, Greg, and Pat continue to discuss that people don’t care who or what you know until they know how much you care. It has been said that one of the biggest reasons for retention in the some church expressions is because of the relationships they have formed. They continue to share how God was manifesting his presence and blessing among them as they have seen the goodness of God first hand in employment, raises, homes… it’s all because of the Lord’s favor. God is committed to you; He loves you. He is not the “man upstairs” or “your co- pilot”. He is the lover of our souls. God rewards faith. Raise your expectation level when you honor Him. He is the one who is blessing the work of your hands. | https://vfnkb.com/2013/05/vfnradio-first-hour-may-23-2013.html |

Minibeast Wildlife - Rainforest Encounters: Another Tiger Huntsman!
Another Tiger Huntsman (Typostola sp.) has turned up - only the second wild specimen that we have encountered since finding the first in 2006. The species is still undescribed and the only specimens in captivity (with us at Minibeast Wildlife and some at Melbourne Museum) are descendants from the original female which was gravid at the time of capture.
This specimen turned up in Kuranda inside a possum nesting box. It is an adult female in pristine condition. The couple who found it had not seen such a stunning spider before, so Googled its description and found the articles from the 2006 discovery - which ultimately led them to us. They had no idea that we were living in Kuranda, so once we had made contact they invited us over to collect the spider. Oddly this spider was sharing the nest box with a Brown Huntsman (Heterpoda jugulans), a Red House Spider (Nesticodes rufipes), and a nest of Sugar ants (Camponotus sp).
Only two other specimens have turned up to our knowledge since 2006. One collected near the Clohesy River appeared for sale online for $500 some months after the original discovery - we don't know what happened to that specimen. Another was found dead inside a house in Mossman after a pesticide treatment last year - photos were sent to Melbourne Museum for verification.
We now know that this species extends from Cairns, through Kuranda up to Mossman, and west as far as the Clohesy River. We suspect that the reason for so few specimens being found and that it has gone unnoticed for so long is due to a very secretive lifestyle - perhaps a canopy dweller that rarely comes close to the ground.
The stunning spider as photographed this afternoon.
This is fantastic. Can you keep us posted on everything that happens. Is it possible another gravid female (she asks, rather optimistically). | http://minibeastwildlife.blogspot.com/2011/01/another-tiger-huntsman.html |

For those of you who don’t know, we are from Seattle–so we got really excited when we saw Chris and Traci’s engagement session! Even though they are from LA, they flew into Seattle for their pictures, and shot at some great locations. White Haute Photography did an amazing job!
Chris and Traci started at Gasworks Park, which is a unique public park that contains the remnants of an old coal plant (if you think you recognize it, it was in 10 Things I Hate About You and the Amazing Race).
They brought along some big red balloons, which are significant because that’s how Chris proposed to Traci–literally, inside a giant red balloon! Here’s the story: Chris wanted a unique way to propose to Traci, and he knew she loved art, galleries, and exhibitions. So he arranged with a friend of hers who worked at an art gallery to set up a fake exhibition called 99 (RED) Balloons, in which there was a giant red balloon that everyone was to sign in support of the Product (RED) campaign. Traci and her friend arrived at the gallery and her friend told her to sign the balloon with a marker that had been sabotaged with a needle at the tip. Meanwhile, Chris was waiting patiently inside the giant balloon. As soon as Traci pressed the pen to the balloon, it popped and there was Chris, on one knee! Isn’t that an awesome, unique proposal story?
After having fun with the balloons, they headed to downtown Seattle, armed with sunflowers!
We love these two shots in the alley.
Thanks again to White Haute Photography for sharing these photos! We will be featuring Chris and Traci’s wedding tomorrow so be sure to come back for it. Also, if you’d like to see more of their engagement session, click Part 1 and Part 2!
Any idea where they got the big red balloons from?
Wow I saw there wedding post first and loved it. There engagement session is just as great. Again I love her hair accessories.
What an adorable couple! And great use of sunflowers!
Oh I adore all those big red balloons. Great pp on those shots! Excellent session!
The sunflowers add the perfect “pop” to these photos. Love!
I LOVE this shoot. Such great locations, outfits, props- everything! And that proposal story? It’s definitely one of the best I’ve ever heard! I adore this one!
So adorable! Love the balloons and sunflowers!
this is such a creative engagement session! love it. plus that proposal story. wow!! | https://www.loveandlavender.com/2010/03/chris-and-traci-engagement-session/ |
A return to the classroom sees The Jockey Club creatively challenge its traditional pricing approach.
Despite business booming, it was recognised that there was a need to drive revenue outside the core body of racing fixtures and to maximise profits through tactical pricing in a dynamic and competitive market, which The Jockey Club is governed by Royal Charter to reinvest back into British Racing.
Identifying that The Jockey Club could drive revenue by adopting more dynamic pricing models went alongside the recognition that historically its pricing strategy had been more static. Now was the time to explore how the group could take bolder decisions.
“Our teams are split across fifteen different locations, all facing distinct challenges. We recognised that there was a need to come together and explore creative pricing strategies so that each region would be empowered to take learnings and adapt them to their own local challenges,” said Paul Fisher, Group Managing Director of Jockey Club Racecourses.
In the last 6 months, The Jockey Club has established a partnership with the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at the University of Surrey for the delivery of a bespoke programme in revenue maximisation.
Led by Surrey’s Professor Andrew Lockwood, Forte Professor of Management and Sylvia Ganbert, expert in Revenue Management, the School delivered a programme to generate ideas that could be practically returned back into the business, linked in to best practice examples from hospitality, airlines and sports venues.
Recognising the need for a ‘safe’ creative environment in which to test new dynamic pricing structures and ideas, the two worked together to deliver a day and half course that would see The Jockey Club’s regional teams competing against each other in a simulation that echoed its changing marketplace.
Using an online hotel simulation, each team was able to make pricing, marketing and distribution decisions based on real data, testing theories and analysing performance. Working together to put strategies into action in a way that removed the risk factor, it encouraged people to make bold decisions related to marketing spend, pricing, understanding segmentation and see how they could improve results.
“It’s had a great effect, the programme has led to a different mindset on pricing and distribution and from changes that have been made across the business, we have seen revenues increase and that helps us to fulfil our mission to support the long-term health of British Racing,” commented Paul Fisher.

What makes a good view better? The right pair of sunglasses. Safilo recently invited us to an exclusive preview of their new collection that feature designer brands such as Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade, Boss Orange, Carrera, Dior Homme, Fendi, Fossil and more. Truth be told, I am not familiar with Safilo Eyewear (please don’t judge me) then again, I am not much for wearing sunglasses but I do make a point in investing in the right pair. Let’s see what does the new fall and winter collection have to offer.
The Dior eyewear collection expresses glamour through past inspirations and futuristic allusions. Details like sophisticated architectural lines and the reinterpretation of the heritage signature codes, such as the cannage and oval details truly epitomizes freedom and feminine spirit that Dior aims to achieve in each design.
I am a simple girl who just loves her designer labels. For instance, the Dior 0210S sunglasses you see me wearing is my absolute favourite because it is so elegant and adds such flair. Apparently that’s something Micheal B Jordan has in common with me, so who wore it better?
Jimmy Choo also makes a glamourous impact this season with an interchangable “Lash” sunglasses. Also in this season, the “Gotha” sunglasses made from the signature plexi material from Jimmy Choo’s Candy clutch. It has a lightweight metal round sunglasses with glittered plexiglass eyebrows and gold metal details. Another interesting design is the “Ello” sunglasses that is more subtle with gold metal studs corresponding with metal arms.
Reknown designer brand, Givenchy took a rather bold approach this season which is rather evident from the “Rave” model. Inspired from the mountaineering sunglasses, this model showcases removable leather embossed with the iconic “star” pattern. I’d wear this while riding a Vespa!
If eyewear were masculine, I’d think of Carrera. If masculinity had a face, I’d think of Jared Leto. Hence the birth of the Maverick Collection for the #OutThere characters. By definition, it simply means someone who is daring and fearlessly go after what they want. It is so light so it makes sense for go getters to be wearing this collection.

Introduction: Response rates in the palliative treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, with combination platinum-based chemotherapy, vary from 20% to 40%, leaving a large number with either stable or progressive disease. We examined radiographic response after two courses of platinum-based induction chemotherapy to see whether this is an early predictor of outcome. Methods: In this retrospective study, 320 patients with stage III/IV NSCLC were identified who received 4 or more courses of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and attained partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD). Results: After two courses, 115 patients attained PR and 205 SD). Cox regression analysis shows that response after two courses of chemotherapy remains an independent significant prognostic factor for survival. The 2-year survival for patients attaining PR after two courses (n = 115) was 23 % compared with I I% (n = 205) for those with SD (p = 0.002). Patients who achieve an objective response after two courses also have a better symptomatic response (p = 0.003) and it was significantly longer (p = 0.04). Of the 205 with SD, 51 attained PR with four courses, whereas 154 (48%) remained with SD; there was no difference in survival outcome of these two groups. Conclusions: These data suggest that NSCLC patients who only have SD after two cycles of first-line chemotherapy have poorer survival outcome and less symptomatic benefit than those in PR. Trials looking at change in management at this point are warranted.

The whole wedding party got ready at the Fort Garry Hotel, so we decided to use this as our backdrop for the reveal too. I always love that first look when the couple sees each other! We had to juggle our day around the weather a bit but we managed to shoot at the outdoor locations Nicole was hoping for. The most important thing was Nicole and Eric saying “I do” at the Leo Mol Gardens, and after a short rain delay the couple were married in the most beautiful ceremony. The sun emerged as we headed to the Legislative Building and we managed to include some shots at the fountain, a tradition Nicole and her girls have always included and wanted to continue on this day.
As always Soiree Event Planning did a fabulous job and the Manitoba Club looked stunning for the reception. We enjoyed awesome food and a great night. Nicole and Eric, thanks so much for entrusting me with your day. Enjoy! | http://www.jeremyhiebert.ca/blog/?p=1935 |

When Prince William and Kate Middleton exchange their vows next week, more than a quarter of the world's population are expected to be watching the ceremony.
As wedding fever goes global, it seems that we could do with a royal wedding boost to our marriage rates. In England and Wales they have recently fallen to an all-time low and 46 per cent of our children are now born outside wedlock. This week, the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) released a new report showing that this lack of formal family structures is without historical precedent.
Yet the absence of the marriage ceremony makes a profound difference to the survival of couples' relationships.
The CSJ estimates that children born today have only a 50-per-cent chance of reaching the age of 16 in an intact household.
The main source of this breakdown is not divorce but fragile cohabitation. This parental separation is hard for children to cope with and the increasing rate of family breakdown harms a child's prospects, making it much more likely that they will fail at school, start using drugs and struggle to get jobs.
Family structure is important for children and marriage remains key to the endurance of that structure. David Cameron recognized its importance in his Conference speech last year, but we've heard little since.
Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, and his girlfriend, Justine Thornton, whose wedding will take place next month, seem to be late converts to the advantages of marriage. Miliband has firmly rebutted any suggestion that his marriage is politically expedient. But this mark of commitment to the mother of his two young sons will certainly help to offset the bad press he received last year when it was revealed that he had failed to register as the father of his first child. Such an apparently casual attitude toward his family obligations created an impression he has since been keen to counteract.
Last month, Miliband gave a speech to the Resolution Foundation, an organization with close links to Labour whose declared mission is the design of policies to support low-to middle-earning households. These are the families who do not depend on welfare handouts for their main source of income, but who cannot be classed as well off and who suffer from some of the highest marginal rates of tax when they try to improve their earnings.
Traditionally, these are the families who have been wooed by the Conservatives: The strivers who want to improve their lives through their own efforts, provide for their children and stick together to give those children the best start in life. Many of them have already lost out since the Coalition came to power, due to cuts in family-based tax credits and the freezing of child benefit.
Those with only one breadwinner and one stay-at-home parent are being particularly hard hit. They have the least to gain from the increase in personal tax allowances and, if they have incomes of around $60,000 a year, will soon lose their child benefit altogether -a significant cut in the family budget, especially if they have more than one child. By taking up the cause of these families and giving shape and meaning to his previously inept definition of the "squeezed middle," Ed Miliband should be giving the Conservative-led Coalition pause for thought.
To date, the government's response has been uncertain. On the positive side, Iain Duncan Smith's welfare reforms will reduce the current bias in the benefits system which penalizes poor couples who bring up children together.
This should make it easier for some of the worst-off parents to marry and to stay together. But it does not amount to a coherent and sustained family policy.
The Conservative promise of a tax break for married couples, most likely in the shape of a transferable allowance, has yet to be spelled out, or given a date for implementation. | http://www.royalwedding2011.info/2011/04/william-and-kate-getting-married-sets.html |
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Atlanta style blogger Harrison Sapp. She started her blog, Gilty As Charged, two years ago and has already made her presence felt as a model and fashion insider. In 2013, she was named one of JEZEBEL Magazine's 20 Most Eligible Atlantans. Check out the interview below to learn a little more about Harrison and GILTY.
I am originally from little ol’ Spartanburg, South Carolina. I graduated from The College of Charleston in 2008 and moved up to Boston. After having enough snow to last me a lifetime, I moved back South to Atlanta in 2012 and have been here ever since!
I love that Atlanta has all the perks of a big city…great shopping, amazing restaurants, but it is still in the South so we get the great weather and friendlier faces, as well. It is the perfect happy medium for me, having lived in both small towns and larger cities.
I think the fashion scene in Atlanta is growing like crazy! I love that we have publications like Jezebel Magazine that highlight street style, and there is such a huge blog scene here. We’re very lucky, there is a ton of inspiration in Atlanta.
TR: What is your favorite place to travel?
Miami. I love the beach, but I also love that you can get as dressed up for dinner as you like and no one will look twice at you. You can get away with wearing anything and everything in Miami!
Jessica Simpson was probably the first style icon I wanted to emulate! haha Newlyweds was my favorite show back then. Her blonde was always perfect and I loved the way she could look flawless in everything from her husband’s t-shirt to a fitted jumpsuit.
My personal style changes all the time, but I would describe it as cool and comfortable with an edge. You can find me in anything from a leather jacket and heels to a destroyed pair of denim shorts and slides. When it comes to fashion, I don’t discriminate.
My biggest personal truth when it comes to fashion is this: If you like it, wear it. I live by this. People aren’t always going to “get” your style, but that’s the beauty of it! It’s YOURS.
TR: What is a staple clothing item you feel every lady must have?
For me, my staple clothing item is a great pair of denim shorts. The cut has to be just right to be flattering enough to wear from day to night. I absolutely LIVE in mine in the summertime. That’s the Southern tomboy still in me, I guess!
TR: What inspired you to create Gilty As Charged?
I was inspired to create GILTY when I started getting tons of hits on my Instagram account for outfits I was already posting. I modeled for most of my life, but was never tall enough to do anything big time. This was a way I could combine my love for clothes and being in front of the camera. I had been interested in starting a blog forever, but was terrified I wouldn’t have enough to say! I just decided to go for it.
I would describe my blogging style as honest. I try to keep it light and fun and talk to my readers (my Gilties!) just as I would talk to my friends. I want to be approachable.
I would absolutely love to blog full time, but if that is not meant to be, I just hope it continues to help me work on my creative side all while making amazing connections like you! | http://www.thetruthrenaissance.com/fashionseries5 |

The title track dates back eight years, according to Collen, who had forgotten about the song after Manraze first attempted it soon after their 2004 formation. While on tour in 2012, it finally took shape. With backing vocals from Debbi Blackwell-Cook (who also appears on “All I Wanna Do”) and the capable rhythms of Cook and Lafffy, Collen ranks “I Surrender” as Manraze’s finest moment to date.
When Manraze isn’t working together, Collen forges on with his day job with Def Leppard. Meanwhile Cook has been collaborating with both Edwyn Collins and original U.K. punks Subway Sect. As for Laffy, who first played with Collen in Girl more than three decades ago, he has recently penned Red Sunrise and Seed of Satan,two soon-to-be-published historical novels. | https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/def-leppard-sex-pistols-members-team-for-manraze-ep-premiere-242755/ |
Sauron supports Scottish independence for his own evil reasons.
EVIL WARLORD: If only we could put our evil plan into effect. NATO is just too strong. [Sighs] Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it.
EVIL MINION enters in a state of excitement.
MINION: Important news, sir! Scotland has declared independence! They have abandoned their warrior tradition, and NATO has kicked them out in disgust.
WARLORD: Excellent! They are weak now. Weak, I tell you! At last we can strike! Without Scotland, NATO will be helpless to stop us!
MINION: Sir, I have a question.
WARLORD: Yes, what is it?
MINION: Aren't you worried about the rest of NATO?
WARLORD: Not in the slightest.
MINION: Really? They still look sort of dangerous to me. Especially the Americans.
WARLORD: Don't ask questions, just get to work.
As an evil warlord (or a former British defence secretary) should know, the UK defence budget was US$57.5 billion in 2012. Scotland's GDP is about 10% of the UK total, so it contributes $6bn to the British armed forces pro rata. As it happens, the SNP wishes to remain in NATO, but this may be contingent on allowing the UK's Trident submarines to continue being based in Scotland. In the most drastic scenario, we could imagine Scotland becoming a neutral country like Ireland or Sweden.
According to the official newspaper of the US Army, after planned cuts to the Pentagon's budget, total defence spending by NATO will equal $1,020 billion each year. The Scottish share is 0.6%. That is not a cataclysm, it is a rounding error.
Furthermore, NATO defence spending is 70% of the global total. It outspends the rest of the world combined by more than two to one. In fact its advantage is even more lopsided, because "the rest of the world" includes allies such as Australia, South Korea and Japan. In sheer numbers it has an advantage as well; NATO has 3.37 million people in its armed services, which is more than China (2.3 million) and Russia (0.8 million) combined.
This isn't 1941. It isn't even 1961. What, specifically, is this military threat Lord Robertson thinks NATO will be called upon to fight? Why would it be unable to fight them without Scotland?
Only a Scotsman can fight the forces of evil.
Unfortunately, the character on the left is Egyptian.
Along with France and the USA, the UK is one of the few Western countries both willing and able to attack places far from its own shores. (As we all know, the target regions are usually poor, dusty and inhabited by dark-skinned Muslims.) I suspect Robertson actually means this: Scottish independence would diminish the ability of the UK to make war in distant parts of the world.
Personally, I think the UK's wars since 2001 range from questionable to disastrous; but that is beside the point. If Robertson thinks Scotland has some sort of duty to help bomb places like Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan, he is free to say so.
Of course, Robertson will never state his beliefs so plainly. Like a true New Labour politician, he lacks the courage to stand up and defend his convictions. He is well aware that military interventions overseas are not popular in the UK as a whole and even less so in Scotland. Instead, he has issued this rather deranged warning. Even by the low standards of modern politics, this insults the intelligence of its audience.
It is not too late for Robertson to stand up for what he believes in. If he really is serious about strength through unity, he should call for additional steps to integrate the UK with the USA.
Perhaps full political union is in order. The UK could give up its independence for the safety of full protection from a stronger military power. To reflect its change in status, the United Kingdom could be renamed Airstrip One. | http://blog.iainroberts.com/2014/05/scotlands-vote-4-beware-cataclysm.html |

Lennie Gallant's beautiful new Christmas song with the Zimbabwean band Black Umfolosi started with a chance meeting in Charlottetown this summer.
Gallant ran into his former agent and friend Bob Jensen downtown, they hopped in Lennie's pickup to listen to some cuts from the album he'd just finished recording, Time Travel, as well as new music from Black Umfolosi, an internationally-renowned world music band from Zimbabwe for which Jensen is the North American agent.
"Every now and then something a little bit magical happens," said Jensen. "We just came up with this little idea over lunch!"
That "little idea" was that Lennie would record a song on P.E.I. with Black Umfolosi in August as they were taking a break during a tour of eastern Canada.
"And I thought that would be something, that would be really great! I wonder what we would sing?" Gallant recalls. "I thought it would be amazing to have them singing on a Christmas song — I should write one."
He'd heard Black Umfolosi before at festivals in Canada and admired their music, which he likens to Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the South African group that shared the spotlight with Paul Simon on his landmark album Graceland.
"They were very keen to do it, they immediately said 'Oh yeah we'd love to do that,'" said Jensen.
With them in mind, Gallant quickly penned Christmas Day on Planet Earth during last July's heat wave. He did a rough recording and sent it off to Zimbabwe so the band could learn it.
When the group arrived on P.E.I. in August, they rehearsed a bit with Gallant then headed to a friend's studio barn.
"In one day we recorded the song and did a video — the same day," said Gallant.
Award-winning P.E.I. filmmaker John Hopkins shot the video, while Colin Buchanan of The Hill Sound Studio recorded the song.
"That's a lot for anybody in one day, and Lennie is known for being — in the studio he's very meticulous," said Jensen.
Gallant used the nativity story of Mary and Joseph's search for a place to stay Christmas Eve as a theme for the song, connecting it to current global immigration crises including the flight from Syria and the migrant caravan from Central America to the U.S.
"Given what's going on in the world right now, with so many desperate families driven from their homes, I thought there's really a connection to be made there with the original Christmas story," he said.
"These are desperate people, desperate families, and it could be you or I cast in the same situation if the geography was a little bit different."
Gallant has worked with several charities including Maritime-Guatemala Breaking the Silence, and plans to give any proceeds from the song to the P.E.I.-based charity Mikinduri Children of Hope, which helps care for people in Kenya. Black Umfolosi also works with many charities in Africa, Jensen said.
"If Mary and Joseph were showing up at some countries right now, certainly including the United States of America, they would definitely be turned back," added Jensen. "The message is timely and it's delivered in a beautiful way."
"Reaction to the song and the video has been quite extraordinary so far," Gallant said.
"And with Black Umfolosi, they were so wonderful to work with — such gentle, beautiful people and were very much into it and so patient," he said.
Gallant predicts the song, available on iTunes and on streaming services, "will make no money whatsoever probably, because basically on streaming services you're pretty much giving it away."
"But I wanted people to hear it, and I'm hoping that it moves people to think about what's going on in the world."
Jensen said he believes the song is catchy and could become a holiday classic.
"I would not be at all surprised if it became, at least in Canada, a kind of Christmas standard that you start hearing every year."
He also said he hopes the African group becomes more widely-known from the song.
"If this single is out there on commercial radio, it's going to open those guys up to some new listeners," Jensen said.
Want to hear the song in person? Gallant is headlining The Innkeeper's Christmas Concert Friday, Dec. 14, at Trinity United Church, which will also feature members of the band Ten Strings and a Goat Skin, members of Atlantic String Machine and more.
Echoes of that night in Bethlehem.

And yet another week comes to a close. I’ve barely been here, due to the fact that I had to jet off to the land of the flat mountain and ravenous baboons, Cape Town this week, to go grab me a Visa. And while even Romania is hesitant about letting me in, I reckon that I’ll be successful. Here’s our weekly wrap-up of pictures, Batmen, ladies and comments.
With gaming in a bad light yet again due to several violent tragedies, it’s heart-warming to know that somewhere out there, people in the industry still care. Enter our own local branch of Xbox 360, who went ahead and surprised young Keagan Gillepsie with some Halo and Forza goodies, and even got the Master Chief to make an appearance. Well done lads, it’s reassuring to know that at the end of the day, we’re more than just targets for overzealous politicians. We’re people with hearts and love for our fellow gamers.
I played Devil May Cry. I clocked it. I finished it. Hell, I’m playing through it for a third time now on a higher difficulty, I love the damn game that much. But as usual, the whiny crybabies of the world just can’t get over the fact that people have different opinions and that DmC might actually be a damn good game, even if it is cosmetically different. While Capcom is using the rage to make some extra coin on the side, another bunch of entitled whiners wants the game taken off the shelves completely, and have petitioned US president Barack Obama to make it so.
What’s better than one? Two ION models in one image. Nuff said yo.
THQ is dead! He’s dead Jim! DAMMIT I’M AN IMAGINARY DOCTOR, NOT A STOCK-BROKER! With the former publishing giant deader than my singing career, everyone wanted a piece of the THQ IP pie in Geoff’s article, a discussion which led to 64 comments adding their own two bits to who should get what. And strangely enough, Gavin received the exact amount of comments for his warning about purchasing movies on the Xbox 360. So, it’s a stalemate between the two Gs. Although knowing them, this will end in blood and tears. Most likely mine.
Well crap in a basket, it looks like I finally dethrone Yolanda this week, much to her glee. Nintendo has a habit of milking their most popular franchises, but yet manage to keep the dairy fresh and tasty, year after year. They’ve got some new Mario, Yoshi, Wario and Zelda games on the way, and that includes an HD version of The Wind Waker (SQUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE). Except when it comes to Nintendo, it appears that exactly four whole frigs were given this week.
BRO! YOU’RE MY BRO! YOU HAVE A FIST! I HAVE A FIST! COMBINE FISTS! TO THE MAX! LET’S FIST AGAIN, LIKE WE DID LAST SUMMER! MAXIMUM BRO FISTS FOR THE LADIES! SPORTS GAMES! RAAAAAAAAARRRRGGHHHH! FRIGGING MAN HANDS AND FISTS BRO!
It’s going to have a great story and based on your actions you will fight either a green,blue or red dragon at the end.

Today, March 2, marks annual Employee Appreciation Day, which has taken place on the first Friday of every March since 1995. Employee Appreciation Day encourages managers of all levels to support and reward their employees, and to show their appreciation!
Employee Appreciation Day is all about your employees. Celebrating the value they bring to your organization as individuals is a great way to increase employee engagement, commitment, and motivation. It's important to make employees feel valued.
It seems like a simple concept: Make employees feel appreciated, and they will work harder and be more loyal. But there is often a disconnect between the type of appreciation employees want and what their managers think they want.
Let's be honest: If you have to make a special "day" for it, then it probably isn't happening as often as it should. Maybe that is to be expected. We're all busy. We get consumed in our daily tasks and forget that a few small words of gratitude go a long way. Today is an opportunity to correct that - and a reminder to make appreciation a part of our daily working lives all year long. Even if you think you show your appreciation for others regularly, it never hurts to tell them again.
A key point in respect for people is that actions speak louder than words when it comes to employee appreciation and engagement. Clear communication of expectations, honest and spontaneous acknowledgment, public recognition, and doing what you say you will are all ways to appreciate employees. Develop their talents and respect their diversity. Encourage and empower them to contribute to their causes and give back to the community. | http://www.aleanjourney.com/2012/03/lean-quote-employee-appreciation-day.html |
China’s economy is growing at a pace 20-30 times faster than that in western countries, so it is likely for China to become the world’s consumption engine over three to five years.
The 15 deals worth up to 46.68 billion U.S. dollars covered areas in low-carbon development, wildlife protection, deep sea oil and gas production and co-operations in financial sectors.
China’s new lending in 2010 was 7.95 trillion yuan, and the broad money supply, or M2 rose 19.7 percent year-on-year to 72.58 trillion yuan.
Though China controls just 36 percent of the world’s rare earths reserves, it supplies 97 percent of global demand.
700 million farmers couldn’t benefit from the country’s rapid growth and prosperity.
Prices in China set to rebound in January as the year-end effect fades away, along with robust growth of real economy and ample liquidity.
Although the government raised the official inflation target from 3 percent this year to about 4 percent next year, its attitude towards inflation has not changed fundamentally. | http://english.caijing.com.cn/others/index-172.html |
Percona Server for MySQL is compatible with the separately available TokuDB storage engine package. The TokuDB engine must be separately downloaded and then enabled as a plug-in component. This package can be installed alongside with standard Percona Server for MySQL 5.6 releases starting with 5.6.19-67.0 and does not require any specially adapted version of Percona Server for MySQL.
The TokuDB storage engine is a scalable, ACID and MVCC compliant storage engine that provides indexing-based query improvements, offers online schema modifications, and reduces slave lag for both hard disk drives and flash memory. This storage engine is specifically designed for high performance on write-intensive workloads which is achieved with Fractal Tree indexing. To learn more about Fractal Tree indexing, you can visit the following Wikipedia page.
Only the Percona supplied TokuDB engine should be used with Percona Server for MySQL 5.6. A TokuDB engine downloaded from other sources is not compatible. TokuDB file formats are not the same across MySQL variants. Migrating from one variant to any other variant requires a logical data dump and reload.
TokuDB is currently supported only for 64-bit Linux distributions. It is not available for Debian 6.0 (squeeze) due to conflicts with the gcc version required by TokuDB.
TokuDB storage engine requires libjemalloc library 3.3.0 or greater. If the version in the distribution repository is lower than that you can use one from Percona Software Repositories or download it from somewhere else.
You can disable transparent huge pages permanently by passing transparent_hugepage=never to the kernel in your bootloader (NOTE: For this change to take an effect you’ll need to reboot your server).
TokuDB storage engine for Percona Server for MySQL is currently available in our apt and yum repositories.
>> Percona server is running with jemalloc enabled.
>> Transparent huge pages are currently disabled on the system.
>> Option thp-setting=never is not set in the config file.
>> TokuDB plugin is not installed.
>> Successfuly installed TokuDB plugin.
If you’re running Percona Server for MySQL 5.6.22-71.0 this storage engine requires manual installation.
TokuDB storage engine has the same version as Percona Server for MySQL after 5.6.26-74.0 release.
Installing the TokuDB package is compatible with existing server setup and databases.
TokuDB storage engine available as a separate Percona Server for MySQL package.
TokuDB storage engine is considered GA quality. | https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.6/tokudb/tokudb_installation.html |
The Washington Post says the Kremlin will offer roughly 2.5 million acres of arable land to foreign investors. Analysts are describing it as a bid to replace the U.S. as China’s most reliable soybean supplier.
China is short on filling its soybean needs after the high stakes trade war got going with the U.S. through the summer. Beijing dramatically cut purchases of U.S. soybeans in response to the tariffs imposed on Chinese products by the Trump Administration. The Post article says Chinese officials are making plans to trim around seven million soybean tons off of the nearly 33 million tons it’s been buying annually from U.S. farms.
Soybeans represent U.S. farmers’ single largest agricultural export to China, which takes approximately 60 percent of the world’s supply every year. Beijing’s cut in American purchases as sent U.S. bean future prices tumbling. | http://southeastagnet.com/2018/08/27/russia-selling-china-soybean-production/ |
I was holding off on upgrading to Firefox 1.0 because many of the extensions I've grown dependent on weren't available for 1.0 initially.
But, yesterday, I upgraded the Firefox install on my DVArchive/WiRNS server, though it doesn't depend on as many extensions as my other 3 main installations. But, it didn't go too badly.
So, I decided that I would upgrade my main home desktop while passing time.... Only three extensions didn't work after the upgrade. Image Toolbar, Favicon Picker and Googlebar. Only Image Toolbar was common with the previous upgrade, and I knew where to get the update.
I managed to trackdown upgrades for Favicon Picker and Googlebar, so looks like everything is good to go.
Guess I'll upgrade my laptop next and then tomorrow when I'm back at work....upgrade the work computer.

The Parish of Ennis is fortunate in having four Religious Congregations in ministry. all of these having dedicated their lives to God through prayers and service.
The Christian Brothers have been part of the story of Ennis Parish since their arrival in the town in 1827. today there are 5 Brothers in the Ennis Community.
The Sisters of Mercy were involved in teaching and nursing. In latter years, although a minority are in their original ministries, Sisters are now involved in social work, Parish ministry and working with the marginalised.
The Poor Clare Sisters are a Contemplative Order. Their day consists of Prayer, manual work and listening to those who come to them in times of difficulty. The Sisters first came to Ennis from Cork in 1957 and on welcoming them Bishop Joseph Rodgers, the Bishop of Killaloe at that time, described their arrival as the setting up of a “power house of prayer”. Today there are 9 members in the community.
The Sisters of Joseph have come to reside in Ennis in recent years. These Sisters are working in Parish ministry and in helping and welcoming our many immigrants. They also prepare adult immigrants for the Sacraments. | https://www.ennisparish.com/our-parish/religious-orders/ |

John Ruskin summed up the importance of skills brilliantly with ‘When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.’ No matter how many people come and go; how much a situation changes, when one can perform a skill he loves dearly, he doesn’t need to worry about his future. That is because a skilled person is more productive than a dozen unskilled one. With this thought, Freshmen’s Valley recently organized its first ‘Skill development and Income generation activity’ with the students of its IT center at Bahjoi.
With the festival of lights, Diwali, just round the corner, Freshmen’s Valley organized a 10 days long diya decoration activity which started on October 15th, 2016 and ended on October 24th, 2016. A teacher was hired to train and manage the 25 participating students (both girls and boys) for the entire duration of 10 days.
The students were first trained how to paint and decorate the diyas creatively. The classes were held for four hours daily. After the training, a target was fixed for each student to complete his or her task within the time duration. Freshmen’s Valley provided all the raw materials (diyas of various shapes and designs, paints, paint brushes, decorative items etc) free of cost to the students.
The initiative was a remarkable success. The students showed huge interest, joy, enthusiasm and effort in their work; evident from the output of around 5000 decorated diyas. On the last day, cash price along with bonus was given to every student as a token of gift for their hard work and dedication. The students also shared their learning experience, saying they had never done any painting ever in the past.
Freshmen’s Valley intends to conduct more such activities in the near future. Apart from giving back to the society by imparting priceless skills, the happiness and proud feeling that took over the students on receiving their first ever income is something the brand wants to cherish for long. | http://freshmensvalley.com/events/freshmens-valley-brightens-diwali-villagers-bahjoi/ |
I’ve always like the idea of .cat, as it’s “different” without being “weird” or “outlandish”. If you are producing content in Catalan or about Catalan language or culture then .cat is the domain name for you. So if you think you can use a .cat domain to talk about your fixation with cats, then it’s probably not the domain name for you (unless you make your content available in Catalan).
That all makes perfect sense to me, so I’m really happy to see them doing well.
With .cat you had the first example of something that little bit different. An online space dedicated to a linguistic and cultural grouping that didn’t fit neatly within national borders and so couldn’t qualify for their own country code.
10 years later with over 100 thousand domains registered you’ll see .cat domain names being used widely by both businesses and individuals in Catalonia.
In the decade since .cat launched we’ve seen several others join them in that space including .scot, .eus, .gal and several others. None of these domain name extensions is ever going to be “big” in terms of numbers, at least not on the scale that a more “generic” domain name extension could be. But as long as the domain extension is serving its community and its purpose then they can be seen as being successful. | https://blacknight.blog/congrats-puntcat-100-thousand-cat-domains-registered.html |
Is Newt Gingrich the new Nixon…both with razor sharp minds…neither governed as they ran…both with more than two lives…Nixon had big ideas…Newt wants a colony on the moon…both were great disappointments…both left office in disgrace.
Endorsements matter…at least for Mitt Romney…73 Members of Congress and several high profile governors are on his team…wonder why Gingrich is not rolling out endorsements from his famous Class of 94?
Last fall when Maloney did not win…a lot of talk in GOP circles about not doing better in the Eastern Panhandle…and the lopsided Tomblin win in Southern counties…seems Maloney’s handlers missed an opportunity in announcing his re-run in Morgantown…why not Martinsburg and Beckley?
Remember State GOP Chair Mike Stuart endorsed two different candidates for Chairman of the Republican National Committee last year…must run in the family…his wife filed to become a delegate to the RNC convention and the SOS website showed her committed to Romney…before the day was over it changed to Gingrich…guess the SOS could have made a mistake.
To win the GOP presidential nomination it takes half of the 2,286 available delegates…136 WV’s filed as of Saturday night [when the mail is open there will be more] pledges to Romney 39…Gingrich 24…Paul 22…Uncommitted 49.
Interesting…Chairman Stuart filed as an uncommitted delegate At-Large to the GOP national convention…wonder if he is planning on resigning as Chair…before the August convention…he is automatically a voting delegate as State Chairman.
Republican interest down the ballot…a quick look at Senate seats …it appears the GOP left 8 without candidates…Democrats did not file in 4 districts….AP reported Sunday 50 of the 100 House members have their races decided…no clear picture about GOP candidate recruitment until the Postman [woman] arrives.
Watch the GOP House primary in the 35th district…JB McCuskey filed…his family long active party workers…and his wife…Wendy has an unbelievable campaign management mind.
Allen Loughry [Republican] seeking Supreme Court…has proven himself a hard and effective worker…he qualified for public funding…raising $35,000 a dollar at a time…public funding will give him $50,000 [minimum] for primary…with $350,000 minimum for General.
Are Super PACS taking the place of national political parties…national reports says they are reaching beyond TV Ads.
Political types believe 2012 will be a Republican year…with Obama heading the Democratic ticket and not liked here…Democrats will stay home…but that was before surprise US Senate candidate John Raese entered the picture…now everyone believes Sen. Joe Manchin will turn on the turnout machine.
FINALLY…will the GOP risk Goldwater II with Newt Gingrich…for those too young to recall…in 1964 the party went with the risky Senator…and in 1972 the Democrats threw caution out and went with Sen. George McGovern.
A cloud hanging over the 2012 congressional elections has been removed for now. Earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the District Court redistricting decision. Blocking the January 3rd decision means the redistricting map that moved Mason County from the second district to the third district will prevail – for 2012. Those wanting to seek election to the U. S. House of Representatives or to be a delegate to the Republican National Convention have until January28th to file.

About a year ago, my father surprised me with a wristwatch that I never knew existed, even though it had been in our family for generations. Now you may be thinking it's a little odd that it took this long for me to find out about this watch, given my very pronounced interest in wristwatches (not to mention my career choice). And it was. But I'm guessing my father, who inherited it when he was a young boy, wanted to find the right time to share it, and I'm very glad he did. Suffice it to say, even if this isn't a watch that would seem precious to most, it's exactly that to me.
It was the news of my engagement to my now wife that led to my discovery of a red leather-bound box in which sat a beautiful gold watch. I was immediately anxious to find out if it still worked. I turned the crown a few times…and the seconds hand dutifully began its sweep around the dial. The dial had already been redone, with no signature on the all-white expanse, leaving no obvious trace of the watch's origins. Who made it, I wondered? But during that first encounter I decided to leave it at that, since the evening's celebrations were underway.
My grandfather's gold watch – which I only recently found out exists at all.
I picked it up again last September, a few days before my wedding, curious to find out what was hidden beneath the caseback. Armed with a knife and a loupe, I popped the watch open to discover a 17-jewel movement signed KULM, which brought me back down to earth. Searching for signs of the movement maker, I found a small shield with the letters "A" and "S" engraved inside. A little research revealed this was a logo adopted in 1939 by A. Schild S.A, one of Switzerland’s most productive movement manufacturers.
I had to pop the back off this watch to try to discover its origins.
The logo of A. Schild S.A, one of the early 20th century's most prolific movement makers.
The company made a huge chunk of the movements found inside inexpensive three-handers like this KULM, and A. Schild would go on to merge with ETA in 1979. Between 1940 and 1979 though, A. Schild supplied hundreds of different companies, the most prestigious being Jaeger-LeCoultre. My grandfather’s watch was clearly not of that ilk, but the pedigree of the movement explained why it worked so well after so many years left untouched.
Another look at the simple movement in my grandfather's watch.
As for KULM, information was a littler harder to come by. It is one of the very many affordable watchmakers that popped-up thanks to ébauche suppliers only to disappear when quartz technology became available. But I found a small entry in a journal of the Swiss Horology Federation dated Febuary 6, 1926, which locates its headquarters in Bienne. According to the journal, the company was actually registered as Guanillon & Cie, but watches were traded under the name KULM Watch Company, and I suspect this particular model was sold to the French market because of its hallmarks.
On the wrist, this is a simple old-school dress watch.
I'd be lying if I told you part of me wasn't hoping for a more interesting conclusion. And yet, the watch still holds some merit as an example of the widespread use of ébauche movements during the mid-20th century. It belongs to one of the most transformative developments in the Swiss watchmaking industry, before the introduction of quartz, and the return of (more expensive) mechanical movements.
For other, more sentimental reasons it’s still pretty damn special to me too. | https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/my-grandfathers-gold-wristwatch-swiss |
You’re navigating unprecedented changes in the industry, with competition more intense than ever. In this cutthroat market, the most innovative companies and brands will get the revenue.
Take a look at your floor. Cold and frozen products – some of the highest margin items you stock – fall victim to terrible product placement. Even though refrigerators and freezers are a big expense, they aren’t doing a thing to help you sell. Phononic unlocks new opportunities for placement and promotion.
We are disrupting traditional displays with distributed inline cooling, so you can sell more high-margin products – even in unusual or compact spaces.
Now more than ever, retailers, hospitality managers, convenience stores, stadiums and consumer brands strive to keep pace with modern consumers. You can’t afford to slow down when you’re dealing with fast, tech-savvy customers.
Our patented solid-state cooling technology is completely unlike the antiquated compressor-based refrigerators of yesteryear. Our refrigerators are compact, quieter, cleaner and safer, with up to 40% more capacity, unrivaled temperature stability and smarter resource consumption. Solid-state cooling is more sustainable refrigeration that actually lets you sell more and keep customers happier.
By replacing bulky, noisy compressors with a slim, silent semiconductor heat pump, our refrigerators deliver up to 40% more capacity in the same physical footprint. They’re quiet, they look great and they don’t release hot exhaust, keeping your point-of-sale cool and clean and protecting other perishable foods in the area. This means you can store more products with less restocking and place them – even ice cream – where buyers are most likely to see them, like on the checkout counter.
When a refrigerator or freezer fails, you lose money on spoiled products. But you also risk leaving a negative impression on customers, who may worry about product safety and quality. Compressor-based refrigerators have mechanical parts that require upkeep and can fail easily. We’ve eliminated those parts to reduce the risk of failure.
Our precise, extremely stable temperatures keep food and beverages consistently cold, with no hot spots or frozen areas, no matter where in the refrigerator they are. And our quick thermal response regains cold quickly after restocking, so customers will always find your products at the perfect state of cold.
Your bottom line will also benefit from better resource consumption, leading to up to 40% energy savings. Compressors and fans just can’t compare.
We’ve already unlocked prime point-of-sale locations for products previously banished to the back with our unique refrigerators and freezers. We envision a world of smarter food & beverage cooling, and even, distributed home refrigeration, all made possible by replacing outdated and inefficient legacy technologies. The possibilities for revenue-driven food & beverage cooling applications are truly infinite – and we are making them real. | https://phononic.com/food-beverage/ |
Communities will have a chance to chat directly to Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector Alfred Ngaro when I bring him to the Waimak on 2 March for a number of public meetings titled ‘Building Stronger Communities’. This is part of my commitment to bring relevant ministers into the electorate so your voices can be heard. The first meeting will be held at the Belfast Rugby Football Club from 10am to 11am. Come and be involved.
Northern Christchurch residents will notice a new road layout for the next stage of the Western Belfast Bypass and I urge everyone to drive carefully. I am advocating for a third southbound lane over the Waimak Bridge to be included in the current work to fully benefit from the gains the Bypass and Northern Corridor will deliver. I have spoken to the Transport Minister and have written to the regional director of NZTA in support of a third southbound lane. I am interested in your views, so please get in touch.
Government’s announcement that ultra-fast broadband is being extended to 21 more towns in Canterbury was great for our region. Connectivity is essential for business productivity as we continue to build on the success of our region’s profile.

Articles: Overviews of joint replacement surgery, preparation, implant options, and recovery. Including links to orthopedic partner sites for additional in-depth information about specific technologies.
Forum: A thriving forum community where patients share their experiences with knowledgeable moderators and other patients. Our unique patient mentor program grooms post-operative patients to provide support to those considering or are about to undergo joint replacement surgery.
Clinics: The largest orthopedic clinic/medical center locator of its kind. Joint replacement candidates may find clinics in their area that utilize modern surgical methods and materials.
The goal of this website is to provide support and ease the apprehension of joint replacement surgery by providing an environment that specifically addresses the concerns of the joint replacement patient prior to, and after surgery.

A Spherical Roller Bearings For Vibratory Applications is a rolling-element bearing that permits rotation with low friction, and permits angular misalignment.Typically SKF Shaker Screen Spherical bearings F-800484.ZL-K-C5 support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that may be misaligned in respect to the outer ring.The misalignment is possible due to the spherical internal shape of the outer ring and spherical rollers.Despite what their name may imply,Spherical Roller Bearings For Vibratory Applications are not truly spherical in shape.The rolling elements of SKF Shaker Screen Spherical bearings F-800484.ZL-K-C5 are mainly cylindrical in shape, but have a profile that makes them appear like cylinders that have been slightly over-inflated.

It seems Amazon makes it intentionally hard to end a membership. Customers may assume they have already canceled after they click "end my membership." This is much like the cart abandonment phenomenon, where customers add things to their online shopping cart and neglect to check out.
Of course, Amazon's customer service will refund any unexpected charges, prorated from the last time they were accessed. So, customers aren't on the hook for membership fees they don't want to pay.
But many customers may just throw up their hands and accept that they paid for a membership for the next month or year.
It's no surprise that Amazon would make it as difficult as possible to quit Prime. The membership is Amazon's crown jewel, and the customers are far more valuable than the typical Amazon shopper.
While Prime members buy an average of $1,400 in products from Amazon each year, regular, non-Prime customers only spend $600, according to a Consumer Intelligence Research Partners survey from 2018.
Using their unlimited free shipping, Prime members tend to order more items, more often.
Amazon needs to keep these customers both satisfied and confident they are getting a great value so that they stay members.
While many might associate Prime solely with its two-day-shipping guarantee, it also has other benefits like video and music streaming. There are also some items that are available only to Prime members, which creates additional value.
Last May, Prime members were given another perk: big discounts at Whole Foods, which rolled out to stores in 2018.
The value of Prime has also risen steadily as Amazon has added more benefits to the program over the years. A recent JP Morgan analysis estimated that the service is actually worth $785 a year when everything it offers is counted together. That's six and a half times the actual cost of an annual Prime subscription.
It's also an increase of about 12% from what JP Morgan estimated Prime to be worth in 2017, when its analysts said membership was worth $700 a year.

China is developing its first full-fledged space station, called Tiangong (Heavenly Palace). Early tests of China’s skills at rendezvous and docking, shown in this artist's illustration, are set to begin in 2011.
U.S. power brokers aren't sure how to handle China's rapidly expanding space capabilities, according to testimony at a congressional hearing yesterday (May 11).
China recently demonstrated the ability to destroy satellites on orbit, and it's ramping up plans for a space station and a possible manned lunar landing in the next decade or so. At a hearing on "The Implications of China's Military and Civil Space Programs," a range of experts discussed what these developments might mean for the United States.
"There's still a lack of clear understanding of what Beijing's goals are, and how we interact with those," Ben Baseley-Walker of the Secure World Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to space sustainability, told SPACE.com. Baseley-Walker attended the hearing, which took place at the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
NASA, Russia and their space station partners are not the only countries launching humans off the planet. China has launched two manned spaceflight aboard its Shenzhou spacecraft since 2003, with plans set for a three-person flight, spacewalks, future orbital laboratories and even unmanned and crewed moon mission in the coming decades. Here is an image of China's first spacewalk.
In 2007, China destroyed one of its own satellites on orbit during an anti-satellite test, showcasing an ability that makes the United States and other nations nervous. Since then, the country has conducted other tests advancing its military space capabilities, including a 2010 missile-interception demonstration.
Beijing is also ramping up its human spaceflight program. In 2003, China became the third nation to launch a person into space, and it has flown several manned missions since.
The country also hopes to build a large space station between 2015 and 2022, according to hearing panelist Alanna Krolikowski, a visiting scholar at George Washington University's Space Policy Institute.
Take a look at how China's first space station, called Tiangong ("Heavenly Palace") will be assembled in orbit in this SPACE.com infographic. See the full infographic on the Tiangong space station here.
These developments have some politicians and policy experts worried. They think China may be positioning itself to challenge outright the United States' dominance in space, which currently gives America a huge advantage on the battlefield.
“What concerns me most about the Chinese space program is that, unlike the U.S., it is being led by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)," Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) testified at the hearing. "There is no reason to believe that the PLA’s space program will be any more benign than the PLA’s recent military posture."
The White House has recently stated a willingness to work with China on expensive, difficult space projects, such as a manned mission to Mars. Wolf thinks this is a bad idea, citing the potential threat China poses as well as its abysmal human-rights record.
"The U.S. has no business cooperating with the PLA to help develop its space program," said Wolf, who chairs the commerce, justice and science subcommittee of the powerful House Appropriations Committee.
However, other panelists cited the possible benefits to the United States of such cooperation, which range from expanding opportunities for American businesses to increasing space security. If the United States thinks China can become a "normal" spacefaring country, keen to exploit space commercially, collaboration is probably a good idea, according to Krolikowski.
"As China invests in and derives greater benefit from space, it will acquire the same stake in creating a predictable, stable, safe and sustainable space environment that the U.S., Canada, Japan and European and other countries already share," Krolikowski said.
Cooperation and engagement could also help reveal China's goals for space. Does China, for example, hope to dominate military space aggressively in the near future, or is it concerned more about self-defense?
"While China’s capabilities in space are known to U.S. observers, its intentions are not," Krolikowski said.
According to Baseley-Walker, panelists stressed the importance of getting to the bottom of those intentions. It's difficult to draw up and implement effective policy, after all, without a basic understanding of where China is coming from, and where it's going. | https://www.space.com/11646-china-space-policy-united-states.html |
"OpenDocument got a lot of publicity lately. StarOffice 8 and OpenOffice.org 2.0 finally arrived, and all the other makers of office suites (with the notable exception of Microsoft) have started implementing the new standard into their programs. Massachusetts recently decided to use OpenDocument as the standard file format, effectively locking out MS Office as soon as January 1st, 2007. Other countries are on their way to do the same. Also, OpenDocument recently got submitted to become an ISO standard.

New York rock quintet Earthquake Lights‘ jazz background is apparent in every second of its latest album, Distress Signals, which was self-released on April 12. The record’s ten tracks are barely defined as alternative rock, featuring a neat blend of indie rock, R&B, jazz and even touches of classical music, but everything about it is rich and beautiful.
Though it is classified as indie rock, Distress Signals feels like anything but typical indie music: Earthquake Lights’ decision to incorporate strings and brass instruments into the instrumentation on this record makes the album feel luxurious. The opening track, “Moonlight,” is made to feel grand and romantic through the rolling swells of strings behind smooth vocals. This sense of richness continues throughout the record; “We Will Never Be the Same,” for example, is decadent and melt-in-your-mouth slow, featuring a jazzy piano in front of bursts of strings.
The classical instruments add flair, too. On “Moonlight,” strings are used to emphasize certain lyrics, like a sharp strike on the words, “When the thunder hits.” Later, a muted trumpet on “Friends of Mine” cuts through the fray of the other sounds and adds a light touch to the otherwise rich track.
The instrumentation also feels straightforward, and it seems as though there are few effects added to distort the nature of the music being performed–because, throughout the record, all ten tracks do feel like a performance. Each track is cinematic and theatrical in a new way, as evidenced by songs like “Open Ocean,” a short track with light vocals and beautiful building background music. | https://indientry.com/2019/04/16/earthquake-lights-ds/ |

That is exactly what the Devils did this past week as they traded franchise forward Jarome Iginla to the Washington Capitals in exchange for Andrew Ladd, Bobby Ryan and the 2nd overall pick in this years draft. It was a franchise shaker and it signaled that the Devils organization had decided to go in a rebuilding mode for the next season or two as they stock up on younger, cheaper talent. Players such Scott Walker, Henrik Tallinder and Brad Lukowich could find their way out of town. The deal was slightly bigger than advertised, as farm player Philippe Dupuis was also in the deal heading to Washington. The Devils also acquired a pair of 3rd round picks, bringing their total number of picks in the draft up to four.
With the draft underway the Devils have already selected smallish forward Patrick Kane at 2nd overall and hope he can be the teams next franchise player. He is small but very talented and can shoot or pass the puck with his fantastic hands and his hockey sense is next to none in this draft class. He is probably a year or two away from the Devils.
Also coming to New Jersey is right wing Bobby Ryan who has had lots of questions about his abilities since he was drafted but the Devils feel he is still a very talented forward and still well worth the 4th overall pick that was used on him 2 years ago. Ryan projects as an offensive powerforward and him and Kane could form a deady 1-2 punch for years to come in the NEFHL. The only downside with Ryan at this time appears to be his skating, but if that is taken care of...watch out. He would be with the NEFHL pro team as soon as next season.
The last key component of the trade was Andrew Ladd, who like Ryan, has had questions thrown his way about his abilities - except with Ladd it isn't his skating but his offensive game. It's a shame these questions are already being brought up as Ladd is only 21 years old and has years of development left in him before he hits his prime. Ladd has great upside in the scoring department still and the Devils organization are extremely high on him, thinking he has Erik Cole type upside.
Ladd has already been traded 6 times in the NEFHL but the Devils vow that he will remain with the organization for a long time. The Devils are very excited at the possibility of having a big, physical winger being able to line up with Kane in the future.
Dupuis was not going to hold the deal from happening and was easily throw in with Iginla. The Devils had fallen out of favor with him and were more than happy to trade him away to open up a roster spot for one of the signings the team is panning. The 3rd round picks the team got back have already been in trade talks, but most teams are waiting until the 2nd round to talk seriously about acquiring them.
Chances are the Devils will take a pair of players. | http://nefhl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=546 |

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Senior, was a doctor. As such he was very interested in the use of ether. In order to know how his patients felt under its influence, he once had a dose administered to himself.
As he was going under, in a dreamy state, a profound thought came to him. He believed that he had suddenly grasped the key to all the mysteries of the universe. When he regained consciousness, however, he was unable to remember what the insight was.
Because of the great importance this thought would be to mankind, Holmes arranged to have himself given either again. This time he had a stenographer present to take down the great thought. The either was administered, and sure enough, just before passing out the insight reappeared. He mumbled the words, the stenographer took them down, and he went to sleep confident in the knowledge that he had succeeded.
Upon awakening, he turned eagerly to the stenographer and asked her to read what he had uttered. This is what she read: "The entire universe is permeated with a strong odor of turpentine."

Many biological objects are elongated. This research addresses the issue of recognizing elongated objects from both 2D intensity images and 3D volumes. A mathematical model, called tube model, is developed for this class of objects and is effectively utilized in two stages of recognition. The explicit relationships between geometrical surface features and the object model parameters are quantitatively exploited to automatically locate seeds for recognition. Invariant surface features are used to constrain or hypothesize the objects of interest. The verification of a hypothesis is performed by correlating a matched filter, dynamically generated based on the hypothesis, with the sensor data. The tubes identified in such a local recognition process serve as the seeds from which the global recognition process is initiated. Each seed is swept along the trajectory where the best-fit is found. A smooth sweep is controlled by a set of adaptive constraints computed dynamically from an on-line sweeping history. We apply the proposed method to real world data from different application domains. Experimental results are presented and discussed. | http://spie.org/Publications/Proceedings/Paper/10.1117/12.146596 |

The topic of Teflon poisoning seems to come up at this time of year when the house is tightly closed for winter and circulation indoors is poor. Teflon poisoning, or more correctly polytetrafluoroethlyene (PTFE) intoxication, is a rapid and lethal gaseous intoxication of all species of birds.
PTFE toxicity can occur anytime of year, and it’s consequences are devastating. The only clinical signs of illness are birds starting to drop off their perches or displaying severe respiratory distress such as open-mouthed breathing, tail-bobbing, or even audible respiratory rales (raspy breathing sounds) followed quickly by death.
The cause of PTFE toxicity is gaseous emission of the material from nonstick cookware. The brand of cookware does not have to be Teflon. Any brand of Teflon-type non-stick cookware, such as Silverstone, can result in intoxication. Also, cookware is not an exclusive culprit; this toxicosis has been caused by heat lamps coated with Teflon backing as well as range-burner or eye backings that are coated with the substance.
PTFE toxicity occurs because the coating is overheated. This usually is a result of forgetting that the cookware is on the stove and leaving it empty or letting the contents overheat and dry. The excessive heat causes Teflon coating to enter a gaseous state. For humans and other mammals, the PTFE gas is innocuous in the concentrations reached.
However, birds are exquisitely sensitive to the gas and are quickly overcome by the vapor.
Some cases of mammalian, including human, intoxications occurred back in the early days of the products, but better chemical bonding processes reduced gaseous emissions. However, this did not eliminate all emissions when the sub¬stance overheats. And, the chances of emission increase as the cookware ages or undergoes repeated use or is continuously overheated.
If you suspect an intoxication is in progress, you can take steps to minimize the damage. First, turn off the heat, take the cookware outside, and place it on a nonflammable surface, such as concrete, and away from children and pets. This will remove the source of gas. Next, open windows to dilute the gas and increase ventilation. If you. have exhaust fans or an attic fan, turn them on. Then, take birds that are not displaying signs far from the source or outdoors if possible. (It is usually too late for those birds that are gasping, so your triage is to ensure the living are not injured.) Finally, attend to those birds in respiratory distress by taking them to your avian veterinarian as quickly as possible.
The pathology that PTFE gas causes is severe edematous pneumonia. This means that the bird’s lungs fill with body fluid, because the blood capillaries in the lungs leak blood fluids into the lung airways. Essentially, the bird drowns in its own body fluid. If the bird is showing respiratory distress, get to a veterinarian immediately. The only medical recourse your vet may have is to place the’bird in an oxygen cage, administer antibiotics and mild diuretics to relieve-the amount of fluid in the lungs, and hope for the best. Some birds survive but many do not.
The best course is prevention. To avoid this catastrophe, be careful of your Teflon-coated surfaces. Some vets and aviculturists advocate eliminating the cookware from the home. I think this is a bit extreme, but I advise using some common sense and taking precautions.
First, I recommend not keeping birds in the kitchen for several reasons. Not only are they subject to PTFE toxicity, but I have seen some severely burned birds who were much too curious around mealtime and investigated the fried chicken too closely while it was still in the pan. Second, watch your Teflon; don’t leave the cookware unattended. As long as the material is not overheated, it is generally safe to use. When the cookware begins to age or is damaged, dispose of it.
We all have those pans in which the non-stick surface now sticks. Just get rid of it. (Besides, it’s a pain to have to scrub those pans, which just damages the surface more.) Do not use Teflon-coated heat lamps for any reason; it just isn’t worth the risk. These lamps generally will state that they are coated with Teflon on the label. They cannot be relied upon to maintain a nongaseous state. | http://www.bcexoticbirdsociety.org/resources/the-silent-killer/ |

Optimized workstation and handling solutions have added value in the workplace and are enabling operatives to achieve greater productivity.
Moto Guzzi, the famous Italian motorcycle manufacturer, was founded by Carlo Guzzi and Giorgio Parodi who designed their first bike in 1920, one year before the company was officially established in 1921. Their first model – dubbed “Normale” – featured a 500cc engine and entered production in 1922. This quickly captured the attention of the market and became the company’s first major success.
To cope with increased production, the Moto Guzzi factory went vertical in the 1950s with a three-storey final assembly area and a product-validation department. This was a positive move because land was scarce but the bikes were assembled on the third floor and tested on an oval track on the roof before being lowered back down to the ground by crane.
In 2015, after the Piaggio Group had taken over Moto Guzzi, a plan was launched to fix things once and for all. The historic Mandello del Lario facility underwent significant evolution. From the outside, the historic buildings still look exactly the same and are still fronted by the huge red gates that proudly display the Moto Guzzi logo. Equally unchanged are the second-row buildings where part of the Moto Guzzi production now takes place. Inside, however, all these buildings have been completely refurbished and reorganized and all production lines have been relocated there.
Representatives from Trilogiq Italia have been working closely with Moto Guzzi to create the new optimized production line. The project team was asked to carry out a detailed analysis and review the needs and activities of Moto Guzzi’s factory operatives.
Once the assessment was completed, new optimized workstations, custom built with GRAPHIT modular components, were introduced to replace conventional static workbenches. This provided Moto Guzzi with the ergonomic working conditions they required as part of their continuous improvement program. Now the optimized workstations enable operatives to perform all assembly activities without over-reaching, in comfort and assured of complete safety.
New kitting carts were also introduced to reduce the effort involved with moving larger items. Using the GRAPHIT system’s aluminum tubes ensured the trolleys were as light as possible which means operatives can move and handle them with minimum effort.
The company reports that the optimized solutions in the workplace have definitely added value and the newly installed workstations are already proving an advantage to operatives who are achieving greater productivity. | http://trilogiqusa.com/moto-guzzi-optimises-production/ |
The world population is expected to grow by one billion in the next decade. Large agriculture companies are seeking to implement new technologies rapidly in order to minimize loss and meet increased food production demands.
One such technological pioneer is John Deere. The company’s trucks have long stood as a symbol of the quintessential farming experience, and its Farm Forward campaign shows what it anticipates that experience to look like in the near future.
The company’s line of Precision Agriculture Technology allows farmers to track what is going on in their fields up to the minute, and field histories over time. A new Operations Center feature allows the user to see their field remotely and ‘JDLink‘ receives information in real time from connected machinery.
John Deere also acquired the startup Blue River Technology in 2017. Blue River is seeking to create next-gen agriculture equipment. One of its greatest successes is See & Spray technology, which uses cameras and artificial intelligence to treat each plant on an individual level.
With 250 weed species that are now resistant to herbicides, this technology is crucial to eliminate the treatment of healthy plants that causes increased resistance. The identification of weeds is achieved through the same technology as facial recognition software. That information is provided to the farmer who can then tell the machine to treat, fertilize, and provide fungicide to each individual plant as needed, allowing farmers to lower herbicide costs by 90 percent.
Monsanto, which Bayer acquired in 2016, has also developed technology designed to provide farmers with its digital data in order to make more informed crop decisions. Climate Fieldview is one such option, created by the Monsanto-acquired Climate Corporation.
Cargill’s Dairy Enteligen provides a similar data-integration service, but for livestock.
Additionally, xarvio, acquired by BASF from Bayer in 2018, features a similar field manager service, but also offers a free mobile app called xarvio SCOUTING which allows the user to take a picture with his or her smartphone and the app then identifies plant disease and weeds, analyzes leaf damage, and displays nitrogen status.
In 2018, Syngenta, the hybrid of Novartis and Zeneca Agrochemicals, acquired FarmShots, which allows the same photograph-based information services, but on a larger scale through the use of satellite imagery.
Yara, the world’s leading supplier of mineral fertilizers for the agricultural industry, has a line of smart products that seek to ensure that each crop receives the exact right amount of fertilizer at the right time in order to save money and prevent harm to the environment. One of its sensors is a handheld device used to measure an individual plant’s nitrogen status. Another, the N-Sensor, mounts onto a tractor and adjusts the rate of fertilizer application as it crosses the field by taking into account scans on either side of the tractor in real time.
Many large agricultural businesses that are not developing their own technology are investing in small companies that are, and this investment extends to companies not normally in the agricultural sphere.
Google notably invested in Abundant Robotics, which just this week announced a partnership with T&G Global, a prominent apple grower in New Zealand, to perform the world’s first commercial robotic apple harvest.
Investing in new agricultural technology is not only key to a company’s continued success in the industry, but also may be essential for the viability of the current world food system in the years to come. | https://marketscale.com/industries/food-and-beverage/john-deere-smart-farm-technology/ |
In connection with Sergejus Martinenas PhD defence (Enabling Technologies for Smart Grid Integration and Integration of Electrical Vehicles), the internationally recognized academics Professor Ghanim Alesha Putrus, Northumbria University, UK and Professor Vassilios Georgios Agelidis, DTU, Denmark will visit CEE-DTU Risø Campus and give talks on selected topics.
The event is open for everyone, but please send an email to Anne Due ([email protected]) so we will know how many will attend the event.
Professor Ghanim Alesha Putrus, Ph.D.
Ghanim Putrus is Professor of Electrical Power Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Environment, Northumbria University, UK. He has over 25 years of research experience with over 150 publications, including one patent, and has given several invited talks at national and international events.
He has been involved in several research projects and has often provided consultancy for industry. He is involved in the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) professional activities and served on the executive committee of their Power Trading and Control Professional Network (2001-2009) and chairman of the IET Northumbria branch for 2004/2005 session. He is Associate Editor of the Elsevier Renewable Energy journal. He organised UPEC 2006 conference and is member of the steering committees for several international conferences. His main research interests are application of power electronics in power systems, power quality, integration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles into power distribution networks (smart grids).
The market for battery powered electric vehicles (EV) is expected to continue to grow with advances in battery technology and the increased concern about the environment. Due to their high energy capacity and mass deployment, EVs will have significant impact on the way energy is used in the future, in particular on the electrical power supply. Whilst EVs present challenges, they also provide opportunities for power grids and EV owner/user, e.g. using the battery as a controlled load or storage to support the grid or meet local energy demand. However, battery performance and its lifetime depend not only on its chemistry but also on the way it is used, particularly during charging and discharging. Therefore, such opportunities may be hindered by anxiety about their effects on battery lifetime.
This talk will give an overview of recent development in power grids and EV charging requirements that present challenges and opportunities to EV users, manufacturers and grid control. It will present the concept of smart grid and its role in meeting EV user requirements, extend battery lifetime, support the grid, charge from renewable energy sources and ultimately reducing the total cost of ownership of EVs.
Professor Vassilios Georgios Agelidis, Ph.D.
Vassilios G. Agelidis was born in Serres, Greece. He received the B.Eng. degree in electrical engineering from Democritus University of Thrace, Greece, in 1988, the M.S. degree in applied science from Concordia University, Montreal, QC, Canada, in 1992, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Curtin University, Perth, WA, Australia, in 1997. He was with Curtin University (1993–1999), the University of Glasgow, U.K. (2000−2004), Murdoch University, Perth (2005–2006), the University of Sydney, Australia (2007–2010), and the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia (2010-2016). He joined the Centre for Electrical Power and Energy, Department of Electrical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in October 2016 as Professor.
Professor Agelidis is a Fellow of the IEEE (USA) with the citation: for contributions to power electronics, renewable energy conversion and integration with electricity grids (Class of 2016). He is also a Fellow of the IET (UK). He is also a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Power Electronics Society (2017-2018). He had a Visiting Research Professorship with Beijing Jiaotong University, China under the High-End Experts program of the Chinese Government (2012-2017).
Large-scale solar photovoltaic farms require new ways of thinking when it comes to their integration with the electricity grids. The seminar will discuss recent research output related to such important technologies highlighting the requirements for system integration, farm architecture, power electronics technologies, forecasting of solar farm output, and the need for energy storage integration to deliver semi-despatched generation with the Australian Electricity market. The research was the result of the largest ever one-off investment of the Australian Federal Government in a University research program and infrastructure building, known as the Solar Flagships Research. | http://www.elektro.dtu.dk/kalender/Arrangement?id=4bad22ec-68a2-46ba-8bc7-43d582eb544c |
There are many methods required to convert any kind of mix into alcohol which includes fermentation and following productive fermentation alcohol is derived with the necessary strength. Nevertheless originaleasystill-com, fermenting mash comprised of water as well as other substances needs strict management over temperature and alcohol strength since both of these variables can adversely affect the actual performance of fermenting yeast.
Fermentation of alcohol or even ethanol is achieved whenever alcohol yeast that matches to the type of alcohol being produced is mixed with the right mixture. This particular mixture could be normal water combined with grapes in case of wine, barley or some other grains in the case of beer, wheat in the case of whiskey, or even corn in case of bioethanol, which is today getting popular acceptance as a biofuel. There are numerous other fruits, greens and grains used to produce various types of alcoholic beverages. Nevertheless, all mixes or perhaps mashes require to pass through the fermentation process and in stronger alcohols also need to go through the actual distillation process prior to the final beer, wine, whiskey, or vodka could be made.
Breweries, distilleries, and even home-producers have to use matching wine yeast, vodka yeast or whisky yeast to produce high-quality alcohols and spirits. The majority of the yeasts tend to be variations of the saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, that is the most popular yeast utilized in ethanol production. However, regular variants of this yeast are unable to survive in temperatures above 27 degrees Celsius and may also perish in moderately strong alcohol. Hence, a keen observation has to be maintained on the temperatures and alcohol strength levels whenever yeast fermentation is in progress.
On the flip side, a rugged variant of this yeast fortified together with micro nutrients is also obtainable in select online stores. This particular super yeast is known as turbo yeast and it can easily provide strong alcohol of 17 percent strength at 38 degrees Celsius or 14 % strength at FORTY degrees Celsius. This may provide a huge relief for alcohol producers because during fermentation alcohol strength and temperature can now allow for a higher margin of error whilst still making stronger alcohol at the same time.
Turboyeast also extracts larger yields from weak mashes which can easily reduce the cost of production as well as reduce wastage at the same time. The distillation process too provides for a larger yield of powerful alcohol when the preliminary fermentation creates high quality of base alcohol in the first place. This yeast comes in convenient bulk packing for use by commercial distilleries and smaller packets for home-brewers. The final alcohol by itself is safer to consume because this yeast doesn't contain harmful bacteria or any wild yeast.
Such types of supercharged turbo yeast can easily solve problems related to stuck fermentation, low yields of alcohol coming from mashes, impure fermentation, flavor or even quality concerns, and also low transformation of sugar to alcohol, and so on. Alcohol makers can save a lot of time, energy as well as cash by shifting to hardier yeast which increases alcohol production whilst lowering expenses at the same time.
Alcohol fermentation is among the most important operations in the manufacturing of alcohol since this process can offer alcohol with the perfect power, flavor, acidity, as well as character. After successful fermentation alcohol that is produced is now able to please a enthusiast, or perhaps a car owner while also pleasing the alcohol maker at the same time. | http://nicheinvestigation.com/tips/immediately-after-successful-fermentation-alcohol-is-derived/ |
If you’ve developed a painful, irritating bump on or underneath your eyelid, it’s likely that you have a stye. Most styes go away by themselves, so all you need to do is follow some basic home treatments to help it heal faster. If your stye doesn’t go away after 10-14 days, or displays any symptoms of infection, be sure to see an eye doctor right away.
Styes form when dead skin, dirt, or oil block one of the glands around your eyelashes, allowing bacteria to grow inside it. Styes can be a common result of sharing makeup with someone else, or of touching your eyes with unwashed hands. If your stye is not painful, it is most likely a chalazion, which is also non-threatening, but will take longer to heal. Most styes should go away within 7-10 days.
When Should I See My Optometrist For a Stye?
Do not pop, squeeze, or touch a stye.It might seem tempting, but squeezing will release pus and may spread the infection. If your stye is inside your eyelid, your optometrist can help drain it safely.
Use a warm compress. This will help dissolve the pus and oil so the stye can drain.
If your stye needs to be professionally drained, or is displaying symptoms of infection, be sure to see a professional Raleigh optometry clinic for treatment.

Stray Dog Theatre's Cabaret, one of the nominees for outstanding production of a musical.
From tales of the Marquis de Sade to a groundbreaking production of Tennessee Williams' rarely performed early work, Stairs to the Roof, 2014 was an exciting year for St. Louis-area theater. Although the town lost one of its best theater companies when HotCity Theatre called it quits, several new companies have rushed in to fill the void. Stalwarts like St. Louis Shakespeare's Donna Northcott and Prison Performing Arts' Agnes Wilcox announced they were stepping down, while newcomers like Sarah Porter and Caroline Amos brought exciting new energy to St. Louis stages. Through it all, there have been some marvelous ensemble performances -- everything from the St. Louis Actors' Studio production of Pinter's masterpiece, The Homecoming, to new plays like Rebecca Gilman's Soups, Stews and Casseroles: 1976.
The best in St. Louis theater will be honored at the 2105 St. Louis Theater Circle Awards ceremony on Monday, March 23 at the COCA auditorium (for those who can't make the event, the ceremony will also be televised on HEC-TV).

The U.K. Parliament has seized internal Facebook documents in an unusual move to answer questions it feels the company has been dodging, the Guardian reports.
Why it matters: Pressure has been mounting on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify in front of the members of Parliament and other world leaders for weeks, but Zuckerberg has repeatedly turned down such requests.
Details: The files reportedly contain "significant revelations" about Facebook decisions on data and privacy control, as well as correspondence between top executives, per the Guardian.
Damian Collins, chair of Parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, invoked a rare parliamentary mechanism to force the founder of a U.S. software company to hand over the documents while on a business trip to London.
In a dramatic and unusual move, a serjeant at arms was sent to the founder of Six4Three's hotel and ordered him to hand over the documents or face fines and, potentially, imprisonment, according to the report.
The documents were obtained by Six4Three in a separate legal process, according to the Guardian, which caught the attention of U.K. officials. In its own legal fight, Six4Three alleges Facebook was aware of privacy problems and actively exploited them.
Background: Facebook has faced pressure to be more transparent with officials around the world, and particularly in the U.K. and EU, over how it handles an array of issues, like data privacy, election meddling and terrorist content.
On Friday, The Washington Post reported that Zuckerberg declined to testify at a rare joint hearing with lawmakers from seven countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Latvia, Singapore and the U.K.
Lawmakers had been lobbying Facebook to appear for weeks, even launching a Twitter campaign to get people to retweet their plea to have Zuckerberg testify.
Facebook will be sending Richard Allan, vice-president for policy, in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, in Zuckerberg’s stead, as confirmed by the Washington Post and TechCrunch.
Last week British members of parliament urged advertisers to boycott Facebook and Google over their alleged inability to contain terrorist content.
Be smart: It's unusual for countries from four different continents to band together in an effort to hold a U.S.-based company accountable for its actions in this way. The move suggests that Facebook's public relations crisis in the U.S. is spilling over globally.
Between the lines: An article published earlier this month by the New York Times suggested that Facebook's top executives sought to deflect blame for a growing number of problems on its platform.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has since denied that the company intentionally ignored or sought to hamper investigations into those problems. But the allegations in the article have so far been enough to rattle lawmakers.
Facebook released a memo the evening before Thanksgiving in the U.S. that conceded executives may know more about the hiring of a controversial public relations firm that top executives initially denied knowing about.
Bottom line: Facebook's year of controversies in the U.S. might be the beginning of many more to come abroad. | https://www.axios.com/parliament-seizes-facebook-records-as-firm-faces-global-trust-crisis-1543156608-f19e4b97-fe06-4591-a860-b5d19b386f99.html |
