Three Sisters, Three Queens by Philippa Gregory pulls together the lives of Margaret Tudor, her younger sister Mary, and Katherine of Aragon.
In his new book Northmen: The Viking Saga, 793 – 1241 AD, John Haywood gives an overview of the age of the people we now call Vikings.
When I first picked it up, I prepared myself for what I imagined might be a dry read – after all, wasn’t it just going to be a list of comings and goings? But Wright has put together an enjoyable, extremely readable history of a palace that held an important place in medieval history. | 2019-04-26T02:05:37 | http://www.medievalists.net/author/daniele-cybulskie/ |

Enter the Shoei modular helmet.
Like a pillow from some luxury resort, Shoei’s helmet padding is flawlessly comfortable.
Earpads and a chin curtain eliminate wind entry, making for a quiet ride.
There’s little if any buffeting (your head doesn’t get tossed around by wind).
Every vent works. You can actually feel the air flow through while standing still.
A fog resistant, pinlock insert comes with.
The inner/secondary visor (tinted shade) is well polarized.
Shoei modular helmets are among the most successful against the infamous roll-off test.
Shoei helmets consistently show very low impact response and the highest crash protection, especially for the full facial coverage and modular helmets.
For around $600, it’s an incredible helmet. Add Sena’s SMH10 + their earbud kit and you’ve got a recipe for convenient hi-tech riding.

GAH! All the cute! Guess who arrived today?
It's our very first visitor from overseas! Basically, there are Calico Critters which are the U.S. version and there are Sylvanian Families which is the rest of the world's version. They are virtually the same except the rest of the world has even more animals and even better accessories and such. So, this will probably not be the last little traveler we have, but he is the first. This was pretty exciting to us. Me and Harper have been waiting in anticipation for quite some time because he is so darn cute. Unlike other critters, he is super furry. He is a Persian kitty after all. In fact, even Tristan was excited, he kept trying to steal him while I was taking pictures.
I'll take that for you, Mom.
Baby bunting! Looks like a little strawberry!
We also got our Rainbow Nursery in the mail. Harper and I have been playing and having fun. She calls it the Critter Daycare.
I am just loving these little guys and I love the quality time me and Harper get playing with them even more. She just melts my heart. I love that she loves them so much. Here's to adding more to our collection! :) And in true English fashion, I end this blog: Cheers! | 2019-04-19T07:26:18 | https://www.businessblogsandbabies.com/2014/12/the-one-about-our-first-overseas-visitor.html |
Part of Chanel's "Les Exclusifs" range - No. 18 is the number of Chanel's jewellery boutique on Place Vendome.
There are 32 reviews of No. 18 Eau de Toilette.
This is a confusing release from Chanel, to my nose. There's just not much to it. It smells like it's dominated by a single aroma chemical, like something a startup perfume company might release.
From the opening, it smells like the lingering base of a rose fragrance, a more synthetic than natural smell.
There's nothing that smells like No. 18, except, weirdly enough, Egoiste. It took me ages to make the connection, but once I did, it was unmistakable. It's the rose that does it, and it took No. 18 for me to recognize the rose in Egoiste. Strange how Chanels are all interrelated in such surprising ways.
To me, No. 18 is Egoiste with the spices swapped for herbal teas and the sandalwood for heaps of ambrette. It has a Scandinavian feel to it; all clean minimalism and cool, muted colors, but it also registers as organic and wholesome due to its carroty health store notes.
It's a very calming, clear headed scent to wear, and one that has been slowly growing on me.
Stir these ingredients (pear slices, pencil shavings, a tiny, tight-assed rose, and the wee-est mouse dropping of sour musk) all together in a metal bowl using a metal spoon. Then leave in a sterile, air tight room until nearly all of the moisture has had a chance to dissipate. Put the remaining mixture into small, square shaped bottles and call it Chanel No. 18.
The Chanel EDT Oddball. First glance seems almost futuristic.
and soul-less. Pure and Austere.
Very soon a fade into a memory.
Beautiful and very nearly Transcendent.
A humongous bottle of this in EDT I am search of.
So I may jump right in.
It was No. 18 that made me realize how much I love the smell of ambrette seed. It's a sort of icy, high-pitched, ecstatic, outer space carrot smell with hints of violet. No. 18 mixes it with iris, which gives it a weird ice cathedral vibe, as well as a purple plum rose, which hums in the background smelling like yeasty wine, pulling all the icy outer space fireworks down to earth.
This is one of the most unexpected samples I have ever received. That's saying a lot, considering some of the oddities I've discussed in previous reviews. As another reviewer already wrote, if I had tested this one blindly, I definitely would never had suggested it came from Chanel. Not that I don't believe Chanel could not have created it, but it differs in many ways from my current understanding of the house and my experience thus far.
This is the juice you try, think about, try again, think about some more, and then end up using the entire sample, and cannot stop thinking about...it's so simple it's exquisitely challenging yet wearable. A greener rose than No. 19, little to no powder (at least for me), and doesn't scream "vintage". It stands on its own. Probably a spring/summer scent, but I may try it on warmer fall days.
There are no member images of No. 18 Eau de Toilette yet. Why not be the first? | 2019-04-22T06:46:47 | http://www.basenotes.net/ID26126952.html |
item-specific information of schema-inconsistent targets could be elaborated for objects, the perceptual details and the contextual relationship of schema-consistent targets could be elaborated for actions. We also found less false recognitions for schema-consistent action distracters than for schema-consistent object distracters.

R,D&D priorities vary according to the technology. For pumped hydro storage, the primary objectives are addressing the constraint of site availability and minimizing environmental impact by using sea-based or underground reservoirs. As a significant proportion of pumped hydro capacity is ageing and not designed to help balance variable renewable, R,D&D is also being directed at upgrading existing plants and increasing their flexibility, using variable-speed turbines, for instance.
Several compressed air energy storage concepts, which should increase efficiency by reducing or avoiding gas use, are also in development. Adiabatic compressed air involves the storage of waste heat from the air-compression process and its use to heat up the air during expansion. The isothermal design, meanwhile, aims to maintain a constant temperature. Several large-scale demonstration projects are planned or under development; these include RWE’s 90 MW adiabatic Adele plant in Germany or SustainX’s 1 MW isothermal project in the US. As with pumped hydro storage, artificial reservoirs, especially pressurized tanks, are also being developed in response to the limited availability of natural storage formations.
Battery research is focused on new materials and chemical compositions that would increase lifespan, enhance energy density and mitigate safety and environmental issues. For instance, lower-cost materials for the negative electrode of the lithium-ion battery are being tested, as are organic solutions to replace the water-based electrolytes of flow batteries. Liquid-air and liquid-metal concepts that use oxygen from the air instead of storing an oxidizing agent internally are often considered potentially disruptive, but their commercial prospects remain uncertain.
Finally, R,D&D of hydrogen-based technologies is highly active. Efforts are focused on: improving the viability of water electrolysis (by reducing the capital costs of proton exchange membranes and increasing efficiency through the use of high-temperature concepts); assessing the suitability of blending hydrogen with gas; developing methods of using hydrogen to manufacture synthetic fuels; and continuing to investigate hydrogen storage in the form of metal hydrides and in underground formations.
Despite growth in activity, funding for electricity storage R,D&D is still lagging behind that of other low-carbon-enabling technologies, such as smart grids. Most of the funding is being channeled into compressed air energy storage. Hydrogen R,D&D is also benefiting indirectly from growing interest in hydrogen-fuelled transportation.

In the past few years, Ladakh has become increasing more popular as an adventure travel destination. Because of the recent political problems in Nepal (which hopefully are now overcome), many travelers have sought the Himalayan region of Ladakh as an alternative trekking destination. Trekking in Ladakh, however, is much different from trekking in Nepal. Whereas in Nepal it is possible to trek from teahouse to teahouse with lodging and food provided for, in Ladakh it is necessary to take all provisions with you as there are no teahouses along the way- making the packing more difficult as well as heavy. However, trekking in Ladakh can be just as light as trekking in Nepal.
The standard way to trek in Ladakh is to hire a guide as well as a couple horses and assistants to walk with you, making the trip much easier and hassle free. Because of the rough and dry terrain as well as extremely high altitudes, it is highly recommended that trekkers take advantage of these services in order to experience an enjoyable as well as safe trek in the Himalayas. There are a plethora of travel agents in Leh, the capital city of Ladakh, who will be happy to provide an arranged tour which ranges from luxury to the bare basics at a reasonable price. Either you can book your tour before you leave home over the internet through a travel agent, or you can arrange your tour once you arrive in Leh- usually much cheaper.
One popular trek which takes you through the varied terrain of Ladakh is the Markha Valley trek. This trek will take you through green valleys, as well as over high altitude passes passing through moon-like desert landscape along the way. The trek begins from Spituk monastery or Stok village and passes through Gandala Pass, which takes you across Markha valley crossing Kongmaru La (5135m) pass to finish at the famous Hemis Buddhist monastery. This trek usually takes around 9 days with Moderate to Strenuous physical challenge.
Because of the high altitudes and passes the best time of year to do this trek is from July to September. An easier trek to consider is the Sham trek from Liker to Khaltser. This trek usually takes 5 days passing through many small villages and monasteries, and crossing the lower Tsermangchan La (3750m) pass. If you have the time, it is possible to do much longer treks ranging from 10- 22 days. One such trek is from Lamayuru monastery to Hemis monastery which takes around 15 days passing through the Hemis national park established to protect the infamous snow leopard (although the chances of spotting such beautiful animals are slim).
Trekking in Ladakh is a once in a lifetime experience where you can not only challenge yourself physically, but also experience the amazing landscape and the vastly different Ladakhi culture along the way. | 2019-04-25T04:15:47 | http://fiftysense.com/adventure/adventureladakh.shtml |

11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. | 2019-04-21T07:08:42 | http://www.sebchurch.org/en/archive/play/1054 |
Just recently seems like I understood why holywars between programmers are happening. During revolution I basically saw the same holywar between people that believe that their truth is the only truth. Why even for smart people from both sides it is hard to negotiate for the same vision? I believe that the reason is that they have different values.
We often underestimate how much common values important for us to feel comfortable and productive in a team. We often do not care about having common values while looking for new jobs , we care about salaries more. Agree we make decision of accepting offer based on many factors, shared values as well though we do that unconsciously.
PS: Main question in any job interview should be around values, always!
This I hope is the last post about how Angular will bring you to a world of pain.
Recently I stumbled on this Angularjs hate article that I am totally alligned with on emotional level. Angular is clearly overengineering. And unlike some may say It is not giving you exclusive scalability.
I would compare Angular to React. I know that those are not comparable. But I believe that React based architecture is something that beats Angular solution in terms of simplicity and scalability.
React stack: 4 (everything is a component, some components have state, you may use model instead, Commonjs modules, router).
AngularJS: 7 (modules, router, controllers, directives, scopes, templates, services, filters).
There are twice more concepts to learn for Angular than React. Not even saying that React’s concepts are much more simple. For example you have controller and directive with templates that do more or less the same things. With React you have component only as a building block of your application. We all know that simplicity scales better, right?
Service/provider in Angular is a solution for a made up problem. Just use CommonJs and you won’t need service/provider thing. You will just use modules and functions that are natural for JS.
Well, directive is pretty useful if you use html templates as strings. Life is easier with React when you do not use strings for templates.
With react you can live in function world. And with Angular you live in enterprize patterns world.
My next story will be about why Angular might work for you.
Theoretically there is no manager in agile. If someone is telling you that they have agile team with a manager they are lying. That mostly mean that they are not ready for some reason to share responsibility across the team - they do not have agile.
Few years ago I was lucky to participate in @jeffpatton agile workshop. This had huge impact on my understanding of application development. Right now I had embraced some agile basic principles and consider them as healthier for internal group dynamics of a team. Agile is literally makes healthier and happier each individual in the team.
People are lazy. Developers are not exclusions. We do not like to work and take responsibility. We easily give out our responsibilities for anyone who will take em. And worst thing you can do is to give all responsibility of project’s success to one person. That what is happening when you put manager in your team.
On other hand people tend to step up and take responsibilities on products they are building and when they do they become more engaged and proud by stuff they do. They stop asking stupid questions and start committing themselves to the product.
We are developers and we are coming to our jobs and spend eight hours in a day to do magic. We really want to build something that makes sense, that could make world better. Isn’t that the best motivation for us? Business, please, spend time to share your passion about product with us!
PS: There is only one case when having a project manager is a good idea. When you have short time project and manager who takes BA role. It just do not make sense to commit in building a team.
A year ago I was excited of angular and I still think angular is a game changer. I see how community charmed with angular and how easy to start building webapps apps with it. However after a year of using angular I must say that I am not recommending investing time into this framework. I will write several posts about why.
I am using simple closure for dependency injection. It feels more natural.
But we still can’t replace angular’s module system right? Thus we need to use CommonJS (you can use browserify or brunch).
Why is that better? It is simple. It is better way for structuring your app - it gives you references and you can directly say where the dependency lives. It already works well for nodejs. It is compatible with existing package managers.
I know that how JS modules should look like is a debatable topic. I think that CommonJS pattern quite usable and much better fit for JS than AMD or ES6 modules. Though I definitely think that Angular got it wrong.
Not long ago I felt that as a developer I have more or less two best options to build an app. Whether do it in #angular or #backbone. Now I feel that #react is taking best of angular, do it better and allows to use best parts of backbone.
I hate Backbone Views and I hate $scope of angular, especially when it comes to directive scope and all &-@-= stuff. Transclusion and scope is a double hell and I am not talking about digesting and performance yet.
React needs other stuff like routes and models. I am taking them from Backbone.
By default React have single state this.state. Which is not usually best solution. It appears that cleaner way is to have multiple states. Where this.state is not persisting state and backbone models are.
In the React’s example you can find BackboneMixin but it has some flaws. Following one is better since it does proper cleanup.
// Whenever there may be a change in the Backbone data, trigger a reconcile.
In that way you can use same models in several nested components.
It’s kinda logical to have 2 way binding with those Backbone models. LinkedState plugin is working only for state thus here is BindMixin wich does basically the same as LinkedState but for Backbone models.
One of substantial difference of using sockets instead of plain http requests is that we usually broadcast messages without expecting any response. While building jschat I thought it would be ehough. Though even for a chat we need the response if we want reliability and better experience. Think of “Pending” state of a message when sending it in offline mode.
Raw libraries doesn’t provide any ‘response’ like functionality thus I had to build my own implementation. As a base for jschat we are using engine.io because socket.io is not supported for a long time and engine.io is kind of it’s successor and it’s awesome.
Socker is inspired by express. Simple and lightweight implementation of middlewares, routing and error handling. Socker wrapping both engine.io and engine.io-client and providing additional methods that implement express like API.
On the server we additionally have sock.use and sock.when methods. sock.use adds middleware handler. Middleware in our case instead of request and response gives socket and data objects.
socket is a message context object. And you can pollute it whenever you like. The “session” context object is socket.__proto__ so If you want to save some data for connection lifetime use prototype object.
Inside routing middlewares the route is already parsed and we have also socket.params object with all params from the route.
Using the mask METHOD uri is not required for socker. In the same manner you can name your routes.
We can also customize error handling.
It is important to put type : "ERROR" because that is the way client will treat the message as error.
You got clean and simple API and you got some latency boost. You save roundtrip to your session storage and handshake time. And now with socker moving from express REST API to socket based API is really simple.
why building another app compiler?
When you are frontend developer and start doing node npm completely spoils you. Because unlike we used to it provides single and predictable way of adding/using 3rd party libs and snippets to your code.
Commonly used way of adding 3rd libs is a /vendor folder that holds bunch of unminified (if you’re lucky enough) files that were downloaded by someone ages ago. Maybe you will find comments inside that will give you an idea of what version of library is used, maybe not. Also what-load-first dependency management is completely your pain. You might have a master file with all the scripts loaded in ‘right’ order .
Bower is doing great job adding more metadata to packages fixing some problemts. But Bower is just a package manager (c) and it doesnt load scripts. So again, you need to do additional job defining what-load-when relations.
Even if you will use require.js you need to configure 3rd libraries. Besides requirejs adds it’s own complexities into code. For example: do you know the difference between require and define functions? And frankly why do you need to know difference! You need something that just works.
Componentjs does most of work already. Compy just wraps the concept in one solid solution.
Componentjs was obvious choice. Unlike npm or bower component is really strict on what files considered a source. Which is not that important for server but really important for frontend.
Builder takes responsibility to compile out three files: app.js, app.css and index.html. app.js is built of js dependencies (components), precompiled templates and js source files. app.css is just concatenated css files and index.html generated automatically to eat js/css and run “main” file. Builder have bunch of plugins that allow to precompile sources. So you can use coffeescript, scss, jade, whatever. And just technically because we avoid on read/write cycle comparing to plain grunt it’s faster than grunt. And you can use mix of technologies require coffeescript from js and vice versa.
Compy is a simple, ‘zero’ configuration web app builder/compiller integrated with client package manager component.
Although there is almost no configuration it gives you all flexibility to code the way you like.
To start an app all you need is to tell compy where is the beginning. To do that you need package.json file with compy.main property pointing to main js file of your app.
appstart.js file will be executed right after the page load.
Compy will generate ./dist folder with app.js, app.css and index.html. All css in your directory will be concatenated/minified into app.css file.
adding watch option will recompile the app and livereload the changes in a browser.
Most powerful part of compy local require and integration with component.
Given that you can use those to work with language/template you want.
For example to use coffeescript you will need to install plugin in your root folder. | 2019-04-22T02:10:21 | http://eldar.djafarov.com/archives/page/2/ |

Imagine doodling about in your Moleskin, throwing some batteries and LEDs onto the page and having your sketches illuminated like a Christmas light arrangement. Swapping the metallic ink of gel pens for real silver can make that a reality.
University of Illinois engineers have pioneered circuit pens, rendering wires unnecessary. The silver drawn by the pens naturally conducts electricity, so the only materials needed for makeshift circuits are a power source (batteries) and outputs (LEDs). If the idea of paper-and-ink as a circuit sounds rather undependable, the UI researchers bent the drawn-on paper 6,000 times before the ink began to crack. Thus, the pens are not only easier and cheaper to use, they seem to be a sturdier option for circuit-building, too.
Ravers rejoice—the possibilities are endless. | 2019-04-20T08:59:23 | https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2011/07/gel-pens-draw-circuits |
KABUL (Pajhwok): Three incidents of alleged civilian killings by Australian forces during their mission in Afghanistan are the focus of an ongoing investigation.
The death of a boy and the wounding of his brother during a helicopter assault, the killing of a man and his son during a raid and the death of a businessman during an interrogation are being probed.
A newspaper reported the Inspector General of the Australian Defence Force had contacted Afghan human rights activists for any reports filed about the incidents.
The Australian said the shooting of a boy and wounding of his brother -- both shepherds with long sticks-- during an assault on a compound in central Uruzgan province was being investigated.
The soldiers reportedly mistook the sticks as radio antennas and the boys as spotters. As a consequence of the helicopter raid, one of the boys was wounded in the leg and the other was killed.
Similarly, the newspaper revealed, an Afghan businessman was killed at his compound in Tirinkot in 2011. Hayat Ustad was shot after he resisted arrest. But residents said he did not have a weapon.
During a 2013 operation in the same province, a man and his son were killed during a raid. The father was sleeping with his son in a bed when he was gunned down. | 2019-04-20T23:15:39 | https://www.pajhwok.com/en/2018/06/11/australian-probe-focuses-incidents-civilian-killings |

Our family used to summer at Lake Dunmore, VT, gathering around my great grandmother, “Aunt Jennie” Rickert, who ran a popular eating establishment there called “Aunt Jennie’s Tea House” These movie clips are all I have to remember her by.
Aunt Jennie takes her first (and only) flight over Lake Dunmore. Later, both feet firmly on the ground, she invites her family into the tea house for a good homecooked meal.
Alert: There’s music with this so you may not want to play it at work!
Does anyone know how to contact tcomden? I am imagine there are many questions people would like to ask.
Aunt Jennie (Dutton) Rickert (1856-1934), the lady in white, at her Tea House where the present day Falls of Lana parking lot is. This photo was taken about 1930.
Click on the photo to see all the amazing detail. It was a busy and popular location back then as well as today. If you go to the parking lot these days and carefully search the large rock face to the right of the main parking area, you can find an inscription carved in the stone honoring Aunt Jennie.

thanks Bill for sending this on!
Tippi Comden is approaching her 80 birthday and lives in PA. I would be happy to answer any questions that folks my have about Aunt Jennie. I have studied her life for over 15 years. I am also well acquainted with her grand niece, now in her 90s, and lives locally. During the past several years I have given presentations on Aunt Jennie and would be glad to do so again for those who are interested.

Here’s a spoiler right up front: We didn’t go to Disney for this one.
Despite always enjoying a trip to the most magical place on Earth, I wanted to show off the beautiful spots in Orlando that AREN’T major theme parks. Great photo spots are never far away; you just have to know where to look.
A premier destination for the arts in central Florida, the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center offers world-class performances, entertainment, and arts education programs. For the architectural photographer, this place is a haven for capturing all its nooks and crannies.
A hidden gem in Orlando offering a release from the city hustle. The only interaction you’ll experience here is with nature. 25 acres provide a small, segmented Everglades-like park. This open space provides a perfect place for taking a nap, reading a book, birding or fishing.
Gaylord Palms encompasses all that Florida has to offer under one roof. The lush, tropical atriums recreate three Florida environments that immerse you in the sights and sounds of the Sunshine State. I recommend you capture the atrium from a bird’s eye perspective through the glass elevators.
This 248-acre park is home to crystal-clear rock springs. The park is best known for its tubing opportunities. There are many ways to tackle photographing this natural wonder, either by land or underwater.
This dazzling 400 ft marvel is hard to miss for a photo op. The architectural wheel peaking above the horizon can be captured in a variety of lighting situations. If you have a wide-angle lens, you can really think outside the box when it comes to composition. Stretch your imagination when capturing this amazing structure!
Leu Gardens are semi-tropical and tropical gardens located near Downtown Orlando. They contain nearly 50 acres of landscaped grounds and lakes, with trails shaded by 200-year-old oaks and forests of camellias. You can photograph beautiful landscapes, take in the details of several types of plants, or even utilize the gardens backdrop for a portrait.
One of the more truly hidden gems is the Mayan Courtyard, which boasts a unique atmosphere. Its stunning architecture mixed with the surrounding nature provides some fascinating ways to capture this space. There are ornate sculptures and carved floor tiles throughout the courtyard and neighboring chapel.
With 75 acres of vineyards planted, there are many views to take in while visiting Lakeridge Winery. Not only do you get to taste some nice wine on the less-than-an-hour tour but you can also capture the vineyards from different vantage points. Photographing in and around morning or sunset would be ideal for the best light.
This Boat Ride Tour allows you to see Winter Park from a different point of view. Enjoy a relaxing one-hour cruise through twelve miles of tranquil lakes and canals. Every tour guarantees plenty of swaying palms, towering cypress trees, lush ferns, and sub-tropical flowers. There will be plenty of photo opportunities so keep your camera handy!
The St. James Cathedral parish has been in the heart of Downtown Orlando since 1952. The best areas to photograph this structure would be from across the street or, of course, the main altar on the interior.
This entertainment complex is located in the midst of tourist alley. Old Town Kissimmee is not only a great place to enjoy but also to photograph. Neon and blinking lights are a long exposure utopia for the experimental photographer. I recommend photographing in and around sunset when the area is most active and the sky is a dancing gradient. Be sure to bring a tripod.
Lake Eola is in the heart of Downtown Orlando encompassing a multi-faceted space for everyone to enjoy. One of the more popular spots is on the other side of the lake near the red pagoda looking toward the Orlando skyline. Shooting around sunrise will offer more light, exposing the buildings while sunset will provide a more dramatic sky (depending on cloud coverage).
Chad, we can’t thank you enough for capturing all that beauty. Turns out there isn’t a monopoly on magic in Orlando after all.

This area of Víziváros previously had an unified and intensiveli built architectural character. The density increased futher by the constructions after the war, but the balanceoverturned and more selfserving, mismatched buildings were created in the 70s. The architects of Építész Stúdió designed a building at the corner with a specifically calmfaçade which doesn’t generate additional conflicts with the old, neighbouring apartment house, with the opposite characterless office block or with the unclassifiable styled, pseudoelegant office palace which was built as an encroachment of the 80s.
architects: Iván NAGY, Sándor PÁLFY - Építész Stúdió Ltd.
Strictly following the provisions of the local urban development-plan they designed a ribbonlike serpentine installation through the property for a number of reasons: the building size justifies separated masses and minimum two, approximately equal entrances are required, and the design must respond to the stenosis of Kapás Street and all must be solved within a framework of a single and generous architectural concept. The planned “meander” solves all these things at once.
The site required a façade system which is powerful, consequent and able to handle the constrains due to its function and able to have an integrated, but not boringlyonedimensionalstyled solution for all the façades. The important point is that in the front of the tectonic system of the loadbearing structural system a crust appeares which runs as a curved, perforated “plate” in front of it. However, its punching differs from that and it is offset on every level in one way which unbalances and sets in motion the surface of the façades.
The two different planes of colour and material application, with the minimum use of material and colour, emphasises and enforces the layers of the façade. The resulting interference provides a playful, but disciplined character for the façade, which is able to handle the large surfaces.
They didn’t forget about the “fifth” façade either, because the top of the building can be seen from the Castle of Buda. The new office center isn’t progressive, it rather tries hard to hide the tensions, which can be found inside, underneath and behind itself so muchthat at first sight it might be seen rigid and conservative, but despite all the difficulties andproblems it surely works well in terms of function. | 2019-04-23T22:42:48 | http://hazai.kozep.bme.hu/en/vizivaros-office-center-budapest/ |
hand-picked on February 14th and 15th 2013.
THE STORY OF GRANGE The development of Max Schubert’s Grange is a modern tale of imagination, a battle against the odds and redemption. It began with a side trip to Bordeaux in 1949, where a wine ‘capable of staying alive for a minimum of twenty years’, first entered Schubert’s mind. His first experimental vintage in 1951 began a new way of thinking that would eventually lead to a signature wine style, but not before Grange was discredited and Max Schubert forced to make the wine in secrecy. TECHNICAL INFORMATION Origin: Multi-regional blend, South Australia. From Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Magill Estate. Variety: 96% Shiraz and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine and is of cially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted utilising fully-ripe, intensely- avoured and structured Shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between Shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia.
Colour Opaque black core, dark red rim.
Nose An aromatic assault / surge / eruption of soy, hoisin, balsamic reduction… coiled around a core of kirsch and fresh raspberry. This propulsion is crammed with tell-tale barrel ferment, V.A. and formic Grange markers – all in balance, all respectful of fruit and oak. And yet, so ‘classy’ – a brightness, a sheen, a gloss, a raciness – belying both age and upbringing (élevage).
Palate Formidable No gaps, a densely-packed structural continuum. Not huge, not massive, yet taut, muscular, feisty. A black palimpsest - black fruits, black liquorice, black pudding, black fig, black cardamom.... Granitic chewy tannins linger and coat; oak all but fully concealed, submerged beneath a tannin/oak/acid/flavour tsunami. Fruits? Where to start in this entanglement? Time please.
Continue cellaring. Peak drinking 2020-2060. | 2019-04-25T04:03:08 | https://www.benean.com.au/wine/grange-2013/5959 |

I’ve said again and again that service is the most compelling use case for augmented reality, but now it’s time to discuss how to make that technology a staple of maintaining and repairing equipment.
From what I’ve seen, the answer is no. Translating hundreds (or in some cases, thousands) of print-focused technical publications into AR-accessible content is no easy task. Where do you even start?
Despite what many would have you believe, not all your technical content is suitable for AR. Before spending the time and labor creating 3D technical illustrations for dozens of products and thousands of parts, assess what content those repairing and maintaining your products would like to know.
Keep in mind that there’s a big difference between maintaining an asset and repairing an asset. For example, if you produce cars, your maintenance content should include 3D-animated sequences showing how to change the oil, change a spare tire, replace a battery, and other basic tasks the average car owner could handle on his or her own.
However, if you’re creating content for a mechanic, you’d probably want to create detailed, step by step procedures on how to replace catalytic converters, service a radiator, or solve some other complex issue.
In addition, you probably don’t have to create interactive 3D animations of how to identify the service engine light. Focus on creating content for procedures, not general knowledge.
I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face. Use your CAD data.
Your engineering team creates CAD files of all the parts for every one of your products. Transforming those files into 3D illustrations, sequences, and animations will save you and your tech pubs team a lot of time and money. The Toro Company applied this approach and reduced the time it took to create a single 3D illustration from one hour to fifteen minutes. | 2019-04-19T19:00:54 | https://www.ptc.com/ko/service-software-blog/augmented-reality-maintenance-and-repair |

When I moved to Eindhoven in 2014, I immediately fell in love with the city and its vibrancy. What I like most about Eindhoven is the diversity of its locals, the tech and design influences, the vibrant atmosphere, the variety of good restaurants and coffee-bars, as well as the festivals here that are based on a mix of dance, design, lighting and food.
I’d recommend three days as the perfect amount of time explore Eindhoven – you’ll be able to combine one of the festivals or events with a visit to the city and Strijp S (and the flying saucer at the Evoluon), a show or concert at one of the theatres and a night out. Start the next day with a (hangover) breakfast and spend the rest of the day filling your shopping bags.
Meneer de Boer at Keizersgracht 20 is my favourite breakfast spot in Eindhoven because the owners are nice and authentic people, the place is laid back and breakfast is served all day. Try the wentelteefjes or hangover breakfast, it’s mouthwateringly good! If you’re planning to start your day with shopping at the Demer, grab a healthy breakfast at the Happiness Café or the sandwich-bar at Sissy Boy.
A good place to enjoy a coffee is Zwart Wit Koffie at Victoriapark 7, in the city centre. They serve good coffee and little snacks and also have a terrace that‘s sunny all day.
Other great coffee spots include Beanbrothers Stadsbranderij, Lucifer Specialty Coffee and Coffeelab near the train station.
When you’re in the Strijp S area be sure to grab your coffee at the Onder de Leidingstraat, which is also a really good restaurant with lots of organic delights.
Gusto-040 is a restaurant not well-known by most visitors coming to Eindhoven, which is maybe not such a bad thing, because the atmosphere is generally cosy and living-room like. It’s a really good place to grab a (delicious) bite outside the city centre. It’s charming, it’s got good quality food, friendly staff and it’s open every day of the week.
Giornale at Stationsplein 12 is another great spot for dinner in Eindhoven. The interior and ambiance is good and the varied menu offers lots of great Italian food and wines. If you’re up for something a little different such as delicious Persian food, try the ‘table-full’ at restaurant Afghani & Zo. Other good dinner hotspots in the city centre include The Burger, Boca (tapas), ONS and ‘De hoogste tijd’.
There are a lot of dinner options when visiting Strijp S. Check out Retro Fondue, try organic food at Onder de Leidingstraat, or enjoy dinner with a view of the old Philips building at Radio Royaal. Another option is to visit Vershal ‘t Veem which is a Spanish style market where you can choose from lots of different snacks and dishes.
Cycling or walking is the best way to get around Eindhoven, because the hotspots are not that far apart (at most a 20 minute walk). What I love about walking in Eindhoven is that you see a lot of things you won’t see if you use the bus or a cab. The most interesting parts are the city centre and its surroundings, the Bergen, and the Strijp S and Strijp R area.
If you only do one touristy thing in Eindhoven, make sure you go to Strijp S with your camera and maybe take one of the Strijp S-tours. And don’t forget your wallet to do some shopping, because there are all kinds of different stores for everyone. From boutiques to the big brands, you will find them all in Eindhoven.
Before exploring Eindhoven you should read something about the history of Philips and its connection with the city of Eindhoven and the different industrial Philips-locations like Strijp S and Strijp R. People think Eindhoven is not very beautiful, but it actually has a great atmosphere if you just wander a little from the city centre.
Eindhoven is also very photogenic and lots of tourists and photography-aficionados come to Eindhoven (especially Strijp S) to get good photographs. You just need to know where to go.
The best thing to do for free when exploring Eindhoven is to visit one of the festivals, like Foodstock, GLOW, Brandend Zand, Effenaar ‘t Wasven or Kingsday. GLOW which takes place in November, is especially beautiful – dozens of light artists take over the city’s public places after dark, covering Eindhoven’s best known buildings with spectacular light shows.
The De Bergen area and the city centre area have the best nightlife. There are lots of restaurants, pubs and other places to go and have drinks or dance till you drop. Try one of the following bars: Van Moll (lots of beers), Berlin Bar 5611 for cocktails or Hoogste Tijd is another good spot.

Dice onion. Peel potatoes. Cut potatoes into 1″ cubes. Add onion, potato, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, fennel seeds, and vegetable oil to Dutch oven. Sauté at medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until onion softens. Stir constantly. Remove from heat.
Dice tomatoes. Cut chicken into 1″ cubes. Add Durban masala, Add tomato, chicken, curry leaves, and Durban masala to Dutch oven. Cook using medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir frequently. Add chicken stock. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or until potato is tender and chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove Dutch oven from heat. Discard cinnamon stick.
Slice bread loaf in half along its length. Use sharp knife to cut off most of the soft white bread from each half. Leave ½”-to-1″ of bread crust along the edges and bottoms. (The scooped out bread can be made into bread crumbs.) Ladle potato/tomato/chicken mixture into each hollowed-out loaf half. Garnish with coriander. Repeat for second bread loaf.
1) Bunnies are naturally fierce fighters. Armies everywhere had them. Napoleon wouldn’t have dreamed of conquering Europe without his corps of bunny irregulars.
2) But you say, “Aha, Napoleon didn’t conquer Europe. See, you’re wrong. Bunnies aren’t so fierce.” Ho, ho, they are. Napoleon won victory after victory up until 1808 with his beserker bunnies.
3) Then, Napoleon invaded Spain. Spain had guerrilla fighters. More importantly, it had battle hardened bunnies. Conquistador bunnies. Bunnies that pushed Moors out of the Iberian positions during the centuries of La Reconquista. Bunnies that had accompanied Cortes to Mexico, Pizarro to Peru, and Albondigas to Greenland. Bunnies that terrified conquered peoples into quiet submission for centuries.
4) The French army never had been on the receiving end of a bunny charge. Never had seen those twitching noses and the unreasoning terror that engendered. Never had to see a sea of bunny tails popping up and down as they stamped toward them . . .
5) where they nibbled your shoes and your shoelaces and so you tripped and your comrades laughed and laughed at you and felt so ashamed that you deserted the army and ran home where you sold sprigs of cilantro which tastes like soap to some people which was okay because all life tasted like soap to you and you spent the rest of your life thinking in run-on sentences.
6) And even if you managed to man up and stand your ground after all that, the bunnies would bite your ankles repeatedly which often hurt, particularly so when their teeth actually broke your skin.
7) Suppose you were a stalwart sort, a man among and you were still fighting bunnies crazed beyond belief by sangria, you’d still have to deal with the bunnies’ powerful rear legs, legs that could kick a potato twenty feet.
8) Imagine. You’ve seen their twitching noses, their bobbing cottontails, had your shoelaces nibbled in two, had your ankles bitten, and now they’re hurting your shins and they won’t stop. And then, and then, they keep your potatoes twenty feet away where they get smooshed in the heat of battle.
9) You have no food. So, you confiscate some local food, some paella perhaps, but your body hasn’t faced Spanish food bacteria. So, now you’re a French soldier in Spain fighting for an emperor who only cares about himself and you have the mother of all stomach aches. You throw thrown your musket and flee.
10) The rest of your comrades see that you, a man among men, are fleeing. They realize the fight is lost. They flee as well. Your army is routed. Bunny-fear demoralizes the other French armies. French forces reel back to France. Allied hordes attack Paris and storm the Montmarte. France capitulates. Your flight from the Spanish battlefield brought all this about.
12) So you’ve changed history. Awesome responsibility, isn’t it?
Peel and dice onion. Put Berbere spices, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, parsley, pepper, salt, and ground beef in mixing bowl. Pretend you’re making the mortar for the mighty Egyptian pyramids as you mix everything together with your hands. (Edible pyramids. What a concept.) Make 8 hamburger patties.
Use non-stick spray on skillet. Put 4 patties in pan. Heat patties at 350 degrees in skillet for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip patties over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Don’t squash the patties with your spatula. This forces the juices out of the patties. (I also don’t recommend flattening oranges with your spatula for a similar if not more spectacular reason.) Patties should have no pink remaining. Repeat to make 8 patties.
Toast buns. While buns are toasting, tear lettuce into bun-size pieces by hand.
Put a patty on each bun bottom. Top with lettuce and cheese. Put bun top and, violà, you have a burger so tasty you’ll want to conquer all of North Africa just to bring this dish’s culinary greatness to all its peoples.
1) Most world conquerors, such as Napoleon, Cortes, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and Julius Caesar didn’t bring much culinary enlightenment to their defeated nations.
2) Pretty much just death by the thousands and enslavement.
3) What would it have hurt them to give their newly enslaved peoples a wondrous culinary novelty in compensation?
4) Oh sure, there are such things as Napoleons and Caesar salad.
5) But those military geniuses didn’t come up with them.
6) The Caesar salad was invented last century at Caesar’s hotel in Tijuana Mexico.
7) Indeed, it is also verifiable that Julius Caesar and all of the Julian-Claudian Emperors had nothing to do with the comedic brilliance of Sid Caesar.
8) Frederick the Great did encourage potato production in his Kingdom of Prussia, the precursor to modern Germany. The mighty tuber enabled Prussia to feed all its people even though its lands were repeatedly invaded by its enemies.
9) To this day, one may still buy French Fries in Germany.
Tear lettuce into bun-size pieces by hand. Peel and dice onion. Put Berbere spices, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, parsley, pepper, salt, and ground beef in mixing bowl. Pretend you’re making the mortar for the mighty Egyptian pyramids as you mix everything together with your hands. (Edible pyramids. What a concept.) Make 8 hamburger patties.
Use non-stick spray on frying pan. Put 4 patties in pan. Cook on medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip patties over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Don’t squash the patties with your spatula. This forces the juices out of the patties. (I also don’t recommend flattening oranges with your spatula for a similar if not more spectacular reason.) Patties should have no pink remaining. Repeat to make 8 patties. Toast buns. | 2019-04-24T17:58:01 | https://pauldelancey.com/tag/cortes/ |

These cookies were the result of a kitchen experiment, which seems fitting for a Lego-themed treat. Legos have always inspired kids to be imaginative and experimental - to build and create! I think that's pretty exciting. I have a niece and two nephews at the ages where they are truly interested in learning and creating. They're coming to my house next week for an "art day" and I wanted to make something fun for them to enjoy while they draw and paint.
The Lego figurines were made from candy discs and a Lego mold. I purchased this one, which is inexpensive and has all different sizes of Lego men. It also comes with a building block mold. I made some red candy blocks, and even though I didn't use them to decorate the cookies, I think they look pretty cute sitting next to them on a serving plate.
This is where the experimental part came in. I wanted to make a green background for the cookies just like the building plates that are the foundation for many Lego creations. I purchased one of the 10x10-inch plates and used it as an impression mat for green fondant -it worked! I suggest using ready-made green fondant instead of tinting white fondant green. It takes a lot of green food color to get a rich hue, and that can make the fondant really sticky. Even with the addition of confectioners' sugar, the fondant really never came to the right consistency (trust me, I tried!). The green ready-made fondant worked like a charm.
These were so much fun to make, and I can't wait to show the kids. I think they'll get a real kick out of eating Legos! I also think these cookies would be just the thing to have at a Lego-themed birthday party.
Sugar cookie recipe from the Sprinkle Bakes Book.
You’ll need a specialty candy mold to make the Lego men and bricks that I used to decorate these cookies. I purchased this “Building Brick and Multi-size Figurine Mold”. You’ll also need a new or unused Lego building plate (10x10) to make the green background on which the yellow Lego men figurines are adhered, and green ready-made fondant.
Turn the dough out onto a sheet of wax paper and top with a second sheet. Roll dough into an oblong disc between the papers with a rolling pin. Transfer dough - wax paper and all - to a large cookie sheet. Wrap the dough tightly onto the cookie sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Remove top sheet of wax paper and roll dough a little thinner. It should not be sticky. You may dust the surface lightly with flour if it is sticky, but not too much! You don’t want streaks of white flour baked onto your pretty sugar cookies.
Roll dough to slightly thicker than ¼-inch, and less than ½ -inch thickness.
Cut out 3-inch square shapes from the dough and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Be careful not to stretch the cutout shapes or they will be distorted after baking.
Refrigerate the cutouts for 30 minutes. This will help the cookies maintain a crisp shape during baking.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack.
Make the Lego shapes: Place the Lego molds on a large baking sheet. Melt each color of candy discs and place each in a disposable piping bag with the tip snipped (or a zip top bag with the corner snipped). Pipe yellow candy into the Lego men molds, and make sure to get candy into the smallest cavities, especially the hands and feet areas. Fill the molds about halfway full and then rap the pan on the table several times to release air bubbles. Fill molds to the top and refrigerate. Repeat the process with the red candy, piping candy into the small round connector shapes of the blocks first; rap the pan as before and fill to the top. Refrigerate the candy until firm and then push the set pieces out from the bottom of the silicone mold up. Let the pieces come to room temperature before using as a decoration.
Decorate: Knead the green fondant well. It is important that the fondant is not the least bit sticky, so knead in confectioners’ sugar if it sticks to your hands. Flatten the fondant slightly and then place it over the 10x10 Lego building plate. Use a rolling pin to roll the fondant over the surface to a thickness that is a little thicker than 1/4-inch. Flip the plate over and gently peel the fondant away from the plate. Be careful not to stretch the fondant or it will distort the pattern. Use the same cookie cutter you used for the cookies to cut square shapes from the fondant. Use an artists’ brush to coat the backside of the fondant squares with honey or corn syrup. Place the squares on the cookies and press them down gently with your open palm. Brush the backs of the small and medium Lego men figurines and place them in the centers of the cookies. Allow the cookies to stand for about 1 hour, or until the figurines are well set and will not fall off the cookies when you stand them upright.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for longevity.
These are amazing! I don't have kids so need to find an excuse to try and bake these for myself!
Such a beautiful Cookies!!! Lego molds are great!!
They're perfect! So realistic I feel like I can pop in more Lego pieces to the green background!
Never seen Lego cookies before!
Wish you a fab sunday!
So cute! I want to try decorating cookies with modelling chocolate some time. You could use the green candy discs to make the dough and no food coloring world be required. It seems like that might taste better than fondant.
I think candy modeling chocolate would work well with this recipe - great suggestion! Good alternative for those who don't like fondant.
These are so, so, so much fun!
Do the food coloring markers work on candy melts? I think your lego man needs his lego smile :) It would be fun for kids to customize their own lego dudes too. Everything is awesome! | 2019-04-20T08:26:18 | https://www.sprinklebakes.com/2016/04/lego-cookies.html |

Here I am in Amsterdam for the 5th year running early in the year. Why do I keep coming back? Because I love it! And short of travelling far and spending lots of money, there aren’t many options in January. Better to come to somewhere that’s great with lots of things to do and not worry too much about the weather than chance finding a pale shadow of warmth further south in a seaside resort that’s almost dead in the winter. Amsterdam is always alive and kicking. Even in January. But it has to be said that it’s less busy than later in the year, particularly spring – March and April – when tourists flock here to see the bulbs, all those ‘tulips from Amsterdam’. And that’s partly why I like to come now. It’s quiet and full of locals.
I don’t come to Amsterdam to sightsee, I come simply to be here. I’ve spent a lot of time in the city over more than 20 years, almost semi living here at one time, so there’s a wonderful sense of familiarity. I think places we return to over and over again imbed themselves in our psyche and just as people are drawn to always return to their home, the place they were born and brought up, so too we are drawn to the places we come to know well. Or we do when we love them. ......

I never realized (until I made this recipe) that HOT DANG am I good at this preparing meals thing:) I seriously felt so amazing cooking this weekend, and back in my element. The results.... This amazing raw vegan lasagna.
This delicious lasagna is layered with fresh Raw veggies from the farmers market, and has 3 different sauces; marinara, pesto, and cashew cheese. All brought together to create a flavorful and delicious (and of course nutritious) meal.
A) First we are going to make the cashew "cheeze"
1. Measure 1 1/2 c of raw cashews and pour in to Vitamix.
7.Blend on low, then on high until creamy.
8. Pour in a small bowl and place to the side.
2. Add in 5-6 sundried tomatoes.
3. Pit, then place in 5-6 mejool dates.
6. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
7. Blend in Vitamix on low then high until thick and smooth.
C) Next, we are making the pesto sauce in a clean Vitamix.
7. Pour in to a bowl and place to the side.
1. Thinly slice 1-2 zucchini long ways.
2. Lay zucchini slices along lasagna pan, covering as much of the pan as you can.
3. Lay a bunch of basil on top of the zucchini to close the holes.
4. Pour over your 1st layer (one of your 3 sauces). I chose the marinara.
5. Cut your squash long ways in thin strips.
6. Place your thin strips of squash long ways on top of your sauce.
7. Pour your next layer of sauce on top of the squash. I chose to spread on my pesto.
8. Cut your portobello long ways (so the mushroom stays wide) in to thin strips.
9. Place mushrooms on top of sauce, covering the sauce completely.
11. Cut in to thick slices, serve on a plate and enjoy!
Vegan or not, this recipe is absolutely yummy!
Looks delicious!!!! The dates in the marinara is the key!! I have had so many raw spaghetti and lasagnas and as soon as we started adding that sweetness to the sauce- it took it to a whole new level. | 2019-04-25T02:38:03 | http://theanolan.blogspot.com/2013/04/thea-take-on-raw-vegan-lasagna.html |

The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate refinance receded, but the average rate on a 15-year fixed climbed higher. Meanwhile, the average rate on 10-year fixed refis cruised higher.
The average 30-year fixed-refinance rate is 4.63 percent, down 8 basis points from a week ago. A month ago, the average rate on a 30-year fixed refinance was higher, at 4.81 percent.
At the current average rate, you’ll pay $514.44 per month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow. That’s $4.80 lower, compared with last week.
The average for a 15-year refi is currently running at 3.99 percent, up 2 basis points over the last week.
Monthly payments on a 15-year fixed refinance at that rate will cost around $740 per $100,000 borrowed. Yes, that payment is much bigger than it would be on a 30-year mortgage, but it comes with some big advantages: You’ll come out thousands of dollars ahead over the life of the loan in total interest paid and build equity much faster.
The average rate for a 10-year fixed-refinance loan is 3.98 percent, up 8 basis points from a week ago.
Monthly payments on a 10-year fixed-rate refi at 3.98 percent would cost $1,007.71 per month for every $100,000 you borrow. That’s a lot more than the monthly payment on even a 15-year refinance, but in return you’ll pay even less in interest than you would with a 15-year term. | 2019-04-18T13:21:22 | https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/refinancing/rates/refinance-rates-for-thursday-december-6/ |

Cork Special Schools play Adapted Tag Rugby in Thomond Park.
Tuesday 28th April 2015 was a day to remember for the students of Our lady Of Good Council, Ballincollig and Scoil Bernadette, Montenotte as they participated in an adapted tag rugby blitz the Munster Rugby grounds Thomond Park, Limerick. The CARA Adapted Physical Activity Centre Xcessible initiative for 2015 saw them link with the IRFU to give special schools across Ireland the opportunity to play adapted tag rugby.
Here in Cork the programme was delivered by Cork Sports Partnership in association with Munster Rugby. Two schools participated in the programme along with rugby clubs in their community. Old Christians RFC, Glanmire formed a relationship with Scol Bernadette, Montenotte. This saw Old Christians Coach Sam O Connell deliver a six week adapted tag rugby programme to the students. Participants enjoyed learning the rules of the game and the final two sessions were held in Old Christians RFC grounds.
Similarly Our Lady of Good Council Special School Ballincollig were delighted to have Robert Fookles and Matt McGrath of Ballincollig RFC attend the school each Monday to deliver the adapted tag rugby programme. “The students were brought to the Ballincollig RFC club grounds for the final two sessions and appeared to really enjoy playing on a real pitch” stated Deputy Principal Aisling Heidt. “I loved learning how to throw the ball and it was cool that we got to play on a real rugby pitch” said Our Lady of Good Council student Sarah.
The highlight of the programme was when both schools travelled to Limerick on the 28th April to play schools from around Munster in Thomond Park. They got to play at the home of Munster Rugby and was an amazing experience for all the students involved.
Following the blitz, students were brought on a tour of the Museum and then had an opportunity to watch their heroes train as the Munster first team took to the pitch for a training session.
This was a fantastic initiative and huge credit must go to Old Christians RFC and Ballincollig RFC for making such efforts to be inclusive and making the programme such a success.

Fiona Rowan dribbles the ball before passing to Shay Arneson.
On January 18, girls varsity basketball game ended in a loss against the Frederick Cadets. Despite a hard-fought game from the Lancers, the girls fell short with a final score of 66-43.
As the game began, the tension was high between the two teams after successful three-pointers from both sides, two from senior Fiona Rowan and one from senior Shay Arneson. The game remained extremely close until the end of the first quarter when Frederick pulled ahead, starting the second quarter with an advantage of 24-11.
Linganore began to trail further behind in the second quarter. Multiple missed foul shots and miscommunication on offense were the main causes behind Frederick’s growing lead at halftime.
As the girls re-entered the court, their demeanor changed. They began to rally, as scoring became a team effort and their defensive game strengthened. The Lancers’ team work stood out during this game, with baskets from eight different players, strong passing, and lots of communication. The Lancer’s scoring came from three-pointers from junior Taylor Ferguson, sophomore Gabby Krystofiak, and seniors Gina DiGiovanni, Arneson, and Rowan. Senior Alexis Duda and sophomore Darbe Reesman also contributed with multiple layups.
The Lancers’ next game is against North Hagerstown on Tuesday January 22 at 7:00.

The business world has been transformed by all kinds of emerging technology, from cloud computing to smartphone applications that track productivity and improve communication. But arguably the most transformative technology is one that has already been around for generations: The barcode scanner.
Business owners that rely on a global supply chain to move their inventory from warehouses to the homes of customers understand that the barcode scanner has been integral to tracking, stock management, and other crucial aspects of their business model.
But barcode scanners aren’t just for tracking retail items anymore. They’re also used in entertainment, education, healthcare, government services, and so much more.
But barcode scanners aren’t just for tracking retail items anymore.
Without scanners, businesses and organizations across a wealth of industries would lack the transparency, accountability, and systemization necessary to compete in the rapidly changing ecosystem of the global economy.
Here’s a rundown of what you need to know about barcode scanners and how they are impacting businesses everywhere.
Different kinds of scanning technology power the most-often used barcode scanners.
Perhaps the two most common methods of scanning a 1D barcode (also known as a traditional barcode—the pattern of lines and spaces you recognize on grocery items everywhere) are laser scanning and linear imaging.
Laser scanners use, not surprisingly, a laser to read a barcode from up to 3.5 feet away. These are typically used by grocery stores and other retailers.
Linear imaging scanners essentially take a picture of the barcode in order to read it. These are best used in situations where barcode labels may be ripped, worn-down, or otherwise difficult for a laser to read. It’s considered the more durable of the barcode scanning options.
2D barcode scanners also use imaging to read a 2D code (these are the boxy, grid-like barcodes that you see often represented as QR codes). The difference is that 2D barcodes hold a wealth of information compared to 1D codes, and 2D scanners can capture that information more quickly and accurately, making them the future of the space.
For decades, businesses the world over relied almost exclusively on 1D barcodes. Even when 2D barcodes first appeared on the scene, adoption of the superior technology was slow—QR codes as a means of promoting your business came and went quickly in the mid-2000s.
That’s because 1D barcodes and their scanners were (and continue to be) massively useful in their own right. 1D scanners simply scan codes horizontally, which means that the information inside the code is limited to about 20-25 characters. These characters will typically correspond to a number in a database that tells the system how much to charge you for the item.
On the other hand, 2D barcodes are becoming increasingly popular because they can hold thousands of characters, due to being omnidirectional. They can be used to carry images, website URLs, and other helpful information, making them a sort of self-contained information packet.
2D scanners have other benefits, including: increased read distance, OCR font support, digital image capture, mobile couponing, and more.
One often-overlooked aspect of barcode scanners is how they connect to your larger database, which includes inventory stock levels and prices.
Traditionally, scanners, like many pieces of similar technology, are attached to a computer with a cable or cord. These are still the most common type of scanners, and the least expensive.
There are, however, drawbacks to them: Most scanner failures come from issues with a cable, and you aren’t able to move around with your scanner to scan hard-to-reach or distant objects.
A common option for businesses nowadays is to use barcode scanners that connect to the database via Bluetooth, uploading data in real-time. The only drawback here is that they must be within range of the database, which makes them only a slight upgrade from a mobility standpoint.
The most mobile and versatile scanners are connected to the system by WiFi connection. These scanners hold barcode information that they read in their internal memory, allowing for batch uploads with higher processing power than traditional corded readers. These are the most expensive but most impressive scanners available.
When you think of a barcode scanner, you likely think of the “gun” model—a handheld scanner with a trigger that you see at checkout counters. But as scanner technology improves, lots of new styles are emerging as consistent options for unique business models.
For example, there are wearable scanners that fit over a user’s finger or around their wrist. (Also be on the lookout for scanners in goggles or glasses.) There are pocket-sized scanners, such as pen laser scanners. There are mobile computers or smartphones with built-in barcode scanning technology. And in warehouse or industrial settings, there are fixed location scanners which are best for scanning vast numbers of items over the course of a shift or day.
We understand why big businesses like Amazon and Wal-Mart use barcodes: It’s a flexible technology that helps giants of industry track individual orders across the country and globe.
Barcode scanners are used to label medications and vials in hospitals; track digital learning tools in education settings; read tickets at entrances to sporting or music events; track expensive, taxpayer-funded investments at government offices; trace the journey of an Etsy purchase; ensure accountability on the part of employees at small businesses; and so much more.
How should your business get started with them?
If you’re intrigued by the concept of barcode scanners and want to know how they could be of use to your business or organization, consider two common starting points: Inventory tracking and asset management.
Barcodes affixed to inventory helps businesses trace the route of their supply chain to identify friction points and maintain visibility, as well as balance inventory turnover ratio and ensure automatic re-orders of items that are due to run out soon or have historically seen surges in demand.
Additionally, businesses also use them to track the lifecycle of fixed assets, the long-term investments companies make to help turn a profit, such as computers, vehicles, or heavy machinery. These items need to be written off, maintained, and disposed of eventually—tasks that are made infinitely easier when barcodes form the basis of a fixed asset management system.
This list should give you an idea of what barcodes can and should do for your business, no matter what your size or goals. Scanners are useful, easy to maintain, and even fun—don’t overlook the role they can play for you.

Prof. Trussell’s research program currently focuses on a number of important issues in evolutionary, community and ecosystem ecology. These interests are being explored in a number of systems including rocky intertidal shores, old fields, and freshwater amphibian communities. In a nutshell, Prof. Trussell thinks interesting questions are far more important than interesting systems but, of course, if one can have both then things are that much better! Much of his current work emphasizes the evolutionary and ecological significance of predation risk, with an emphasis on the evolution of phenotypic plasticity and inducible defenses, the ecological significance of nonconsumptive predator effects, and the influence of trait-mediated indirect interactions on community dynamic and ecosystem function. However, he also spends a good amount of time on other topics including the factors influencing invasive and exotic plant diversity in terrestrial systems, the influence of species diversity on ecosystem function, and the impact of climate change on natural food webs.
Prof. Trussell’s research is highly collaborative and involves some outstanding colleagues including Oswald Schmitz (Yale University), Barney Luttbeg (Oklahoma State University), Matthew Bracken (Northeastern University), Steve Vollmer (Northeastern University), Lee Smee (Texas A&M), Jeremy Long (San Diego State University) and Osamu Kishida (Hokkaido University). | 2019-04-26T02:11:46 | https://provost.northeastern.edu/leadership/geoffrey-trussell/ |
What are doctors looking for?
At BroadcastMed, we focus on expanding the global dialog on healthcare by bringing providers together to share information, discuss opposing viewpoints and demonstrate the very latest in surgical technique and technology.
Our member database now includes over 170,000 providers, all seeking advancing knowledge in their respective fields. As often as is practical, we poll our member users to help us understand their needs and to enhance our value to their practices.
Recently, we reached out with a very direct inquiry, asking providers to help us identify a list of topics which they feel are most important to improving their individual practice. Here is a countdown of the four most popular answers to our question, and a great conversation starter for content marketing topics that will engage physicians.
In a dynamically changing healthcare climate, a better understanding of healthcare reform and its impact can dramatically influence the practice of medicine for all providers. Politics, finance and the medical well-being of the country collide, leaving many unsure of how best to proceed.
Telemedicine promises opportunities for cost reduction, footprint expansion and greater collaboration between rural and more populated areas. So, how do we make it secure and maintain scalability? Furthermore, what are the skills providers need to enhance their “webside manner”?
As culture, language and low health literacy continue to inform the public’s ability to understand and use health information, providers are looking to technology and other means to reach and engage patient audiences with vital information.
Staying current with ongoing research and opening doors to new understanding is the foundation of the provider’s commitment. Keeping afloat is a career-long endeavor and providers can become fiercely loyal to their trusted sources of information. Our research shows that providers trust Academic Medical Centers/Hospitals, Medical Societies, their provider peers, and industry the most when it comes to video content. | 2019-04-23T04:02:11 | http://engagedmed.com/news/the-4-most-important-topics-to-improve-your-physician-practice |

The No.5 'Jack' hand plane can be used for a number of tasks (scrubbing, dimensioning, shooting, and smoothing, to name four) but to perform really well at all of these, most planes will need a little tuning. Here I've tuned two jacks to add to my original, allowing me to leave the set up differently in each one. However, you can tune one plane to tackle all jobs, and just keep differently shaped blades to swap in as necessary.
Most of the tips and processes here, can be used with other hand planes, perhaps focusing on the specific task(s) you want to use them for.
If you prefer video, then take a look at my YouTube video, which runs for 31 minutes. If you find it useful, then please like, comment, and share.
Badly rusted planes can be soaked in white vinegar for a couple of days, which will loosen much of the rust and debris.
Strip down the plane, using WD40 for seized threads.
Use a stiff brush to remove all loose dirt.
Glue and paint are often spilt on planes (?) and can be scraped off with a card scraper, etc.
Small parts can be soaked in paraffin (kerosene).
To avoid buckling of the plane body, and to ensure solid working, the frog should be well fitted to the body. Smooth, flat mating surfaces are best, and can be achieved by working the milled 'pads' on a flat reference surface with 180/240 grit abrasive paper.
Attach the blade set, to limit forward travel, and note frog's most forward position - there's no point doing more work than you need to!
Use a permanent marker, or engineer's blue, to mark the pads on the body.
Replace frog and move it around to mark the 'high' spots of the body pads (the marker will be removed).
These high spots need to be taken down, for which a scraper made from an old file is ideal.
Scrap the high spots, and then repeat the process of checking.
Continue until you have a large area of contact on every pad.
A flat, smooth, frog face makes the best bed for the iron.
Unless the face is substantially out of flat, I leave the blade adjusters attached and flatten around them.
Work the face evenly on a flat reference with abrasive. You can use permanent marker to see where you are abrading, and a straight edge to judge when the whole surface is flat.
Use an engineer's try-square to check the squareness of the sides to the sole, and a straight edge to check the flatness of the sole. This should give an idea of where metal should be removed.
Use a marker to note these indications on the body.
With even pressure, work the sole over some coarse abrasive on a flat reference.
Your initial indications should begin to fade, and you should judge whether you're applying the pressure evenly.
Mark lines right across the sole, and continue to abrade until all lines begin to fade evenly.
At this stage the sole should be flat, but rough.
Re-check squareness of the sides to the flattened sole.
Now judge and remove the metal required (just from the sides) to bring each side into square with the sole.
Working once again with abrasive and a flat reference surface, square the sides, by applying pressure more on either the sole edge or wing tip, depending on where you need to remove metal.
Larger discrepancies can be tackled initially with a mill file.
The flattened sole can be polished using finer grits of abrasive, and metal polish with '0000' steel wool.
If you take care to only just remove the flattening score marks across the entire sole, then the flatness should remain.
I take this up to a semi-gloss mirror polish, but feel free to continue as far as you want.
The underside tip of the lever cap should be perfectly flat and smooth, which can be achieved on the abrasive reference surface.
It's top surface will benefit from a polish with '0000' steel wool and metal polish.
Step 11: Replace the Iron & Chipbreaker ?
Where you can afford it, a replacement blade set, like this one from Hock Tools, will be a worthwhile investment.
A sharp edge is formed at the meeting point of two polished surfaces - the back of the blade, and the tip of the bevel.
Grinding marks should be removed from the blade back. I'm using a diamond whetstone here, but other sharpening systems are fine. Keep the back flat on the stone at all times, and switch to a finer grit once the grinding marks have been replace by the diamond scratches.
Remove the grinding marks on the tip of the bevel. Freehand or with a guide is fine. For cambered blades, apply pressure selectively to cover the curve, and finish with a gradual transfer of pressure to smooth it out.
Both back and bevel should be stropped to a mirror finish at the edge.
The tip of the chip breaker should mate tightly with the iron when attached.
First prepare the underside at the tip, so that the extreme tip touches the iron first, by hanging the tail lower than the stone as you work it. Continue to work until this area is flat, for contact right across the width.
Polish the top leading edge to prevent shavings from catching.
Check for the desired 'light free' fit.
Step 14: Increase Mouth Opening ?
If you require a wider mouth, perhaps if a replacement blade set closes it up too much, then scribe a line to work to and file back to it.
Maintain the same angle (usually 45 degrees).
Step 15: Slack in Blade Height Adjustment ?
Malleable iron yoke - widen the engaging discs by carefully hammering them.
Alternatively - fill excess groove space with a circlip.
If the adjuster tongue is too narrow (or chip breaker slot too wide), you can pack the gap with a clip made from sheet metal.
There is no reason why you should end up with more than a half turn of slack.
Step 16: Mouth Clogging ?
To make a little more room for shavings, once they have entered the sole, it is a good idea to relieve the upper corner at the front of the mouth.
Just file carefully at an angle, ensuring you don't quite reach the underside of the sole. Finish by polishing this bevel.
Why not take the opportunity to freshen up those rough handles.
Cracked and flaky finish can be stripped.
A good sanding to remove all sharp edges.
Then a gentle finish such as either oil or shellac applied.
Step 18: What Should You Expect?
A highly cambered iron will take thick cross grain shavings.
A straight iron will dimension wood and shoot end-grain easily.
A very slightly cambered iron will take whisper thin smoothing shavings.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you found this interesting.
Very valuable information. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Video! Thanks for the attention to details. JD.
Can't thank you enough , complete tuning a hand plane , Thanks a lot .
Congrats on winning the second prize in the hand tool contest! You deserved it.
Best just to live with any backlash in the blade adjuster knob, many a fine plane has been ruined by trying to bend the forks to reduce it, usually resulting in just breaking one of the fingers off. The lever cap's leading edge was used by the old timers to tighten or loosen the chip breaking cap iron adjuster screw, and as a rule of thumb the backset of the chip breaker iron from the cutting iron's edge was about 1/2 the thickness of the blade.
Great Instructable, good video, still watching, but just want to give the thumbs up! Cheers.
it would be nice to show how to sharpen the actual blade edge using something else other than sandpaper, like ceramic stones and liquid emulsifiers.
I used diamond plates here, and you can find other methods in my sharpening videos on YouTube. I'll try to find time to do some more sharpening specific instructables in the future.
yeah woke up early one morning not too long ago the tv was on and got to watching a step by step sharpening of wood planes on PBS and the guy doing it was using a two step process & within a few minutes had that thing shaving wood so thin you could see through it. He used a circular method after applying some sort of white liquid to ceramic sharpening blocks and man oh man it was impressive...quick too.
Hi Mitch, Thanks for the video and detailed explanaitions, as a novice, your collective videos have helped me better understand the restoration, set up, use, and maintenance of a few different species of hand plane, from the stanley #45 to my number 5 1/2 and a few woodies also, the sweet ppfffsssstt as the blade slices that microthin waffer is a joy to behold.
For those struggeling with your handplanes, perservere, there is not much out there that compares to a well tuned plane.
Thanks Tony, I'm pleased to hear that.
Hi. These just relate to the amount of curvature of the blade edge. straight has no curve, and is used for shooting mainly (using the plane with a jig to accurately plane a component). slight camber has a very small amount of curvature, used for smoothing and general work. large camber is more pronounced curve of the edge and is used in scrub planing - the curve allowing thick shavings to be taken across the grain without tearout. | 2019-04-20T18:59:29 | https://www.instructables.com/id/Tuning-a-Hand-Plane/ |
George Parros was born on December 29, 1979 in Washington, Pennsylvania. His surname shows his Greek descent.
He played hockey in high school and was picked for a Rookie of the Year award. Princeton University gave him scholarship and he found himself at Chicago Freeze in 1998. He was a captain of the Princeton hockey team,which is not little, but at the same time he studied hard and got himself a degree in economics.
Los Angeles Kings were the fastest hockey team to draft him after college and that was his entering ticket to the pro hockey.
He made his debut as an enforcerer in NHL in 2005, and a year later he changed team for Colorado Avalanche. After that he became a member of Anaheim Ducks until 2012. He was transfered to Florida Panthers and a year later to Montreal Canadians. During his last year with the Canadians he had a number of injuries that kept him on the bench for a long period of time. He retired in 2014 and decided to go at his peek.
After the retirement he went into business with a clothing line he founded. He started a business with a man who sold unofficial T-shirts with his name in the parking area of his hockey stadium, so we can say he started helping people really fast.
He has no financial problems, and probably won’t have any in retirement, since he was an Ivy League student and has a Princeton degree in economics.
He started dating his wife in 2005 and they got married a few years later. Tiffany gave birth to their twins in 2011. She was a reality TV star in Hockey Wives and she has her own clothing bussines called Plain Threads. She started her own line before she even started dating Georg, so she doesn’t like to be put in the same basket with other sportsmen wives who started their careers with their husband’s money.
He is famous for his notorius moustache which are for him a sign of everything manly.
His is very known for his famous moustache and was always ready to use them as a tool in marketing, so he raised thousands of dollars for charities using only his looks. All the charities were dedicated to children, and they were situated all across the globe.
In the month of „Movember“ mustaches are grown (and they are grown all arround the world) in order to raise men’s awareness for the cancers that are connected only to their gender. This way famous people raise funds for research of testical and prostate cancer, and georg is one of them.
Since he is so famous for his moustache, he released a line called Stache Gear and, by buying T-shirts and hats from this line, people donate money to Childhood Leukemia Foundation and to other foundation Georg is involved with. | 2019-04-25T12:43:36 | https://wealtholino.com/george-parros-net-worth-age-height-weight/ |
There's nothing like demystifying a treat like caramel sauce to make me feel invincible in the kitchen. For me, this simple recipe is a delicious revelation.
For years, we have bought caramel sauce at the store to drizzle over homemade sundaes. The other night I found a pint of vanilla ice cream in the freezer, but when I looked in the fridge for the caramel sauce there was none to be found. I automatically grabbed my purse to dash out to the local market to satisfy my craving. Then I reminded myself that cooking at home is usually easier, tastier, cheaper, and quicker than buying something at the store. I figured a tome like the Joy of Cooking would have plenty to say on the subject of caramel sauce, and it did. The recipe I found was simple and delectable - plus we already had all of the ingredients on-hand. Within minutes, and without stepping out in the rain or spending a penny, I was eating one of the best caramel sundaes I can remember.
Place sugar in a small heavy sauce pan. Pour water evenly over the top. Turn stove top to medium-high heat. Hold sauce pan by the handle and swirl occasionally until sugar has dissolved. (Avoid letting sugar burn until completely dissolved.) Cover pan, turn heat to high, and boil for 2 minutes. Remove lid and continue to boil until syrup turns brown around the edges of the pan. Again grab the handle and swirl syrup occasionally until it turns a deep amber and begins to smoke.
Remove pan from heat. Add butter. Gently whisk, until all butter is mixed in.
If sauce become lumpy, set pan over low heat and stir until smooth then turn off heat again.
Pour warm caramel over ice cream or slices of fresh pear. Or maybe even eat a spoonful just because you made it.
So simple and good on those perfect pears... caramel is a great idea!
I love making caramel sauce; it's so rewarding. Your sauce looks fantastic. I love the juxtaposition of the caramel and the fresh apple. YUM!
Oh yum, this is a definite must try soon; thanks for sharing.
I almost don't want to know, or see, how simple this sauce is to make. I recently made a decadent hot fudge sauce that took all of 10 minutes, 9 of which were spent boiling. Life was good and it was that simple. Why other people think that cooking is so time consuming and torturous can kind of baffle me. I suppose it's about priorities.
Once again, I am the lucky person (along with the kiddies) who got to enjoy this liquid pleasure. It was so good. It does add such joy to food when you make it yourself, with love. Thanks again, darling.
It looks like you're storing this recipe in a canning jar, or can this recipe be processed in a water bath or pressure canner to be stored for longer periods?
I do store the caramel in a canning jar - my go-to storage container for most things. I haven't tried to seal the jars for longer term preservation. We just pop the jar in the fridge and it usually gets eaten within a week.
If you do try to preserve the caramel, I'd love to hear how it goes for you.
I don't have heavy cream...can I use just regular milk?
I don't think milk would work, but I believe there are caramel recipes that call for sugar, butter and maybe corn starch?
This was my first time making caramel sauce, and it was so easy and delicious!!
I'm so glad you like the recipe! I warm you, we have found it to be a bit dangerous to be able to make our own caramel sauce so easily!
I made it and mentioned your recipe, too. Caramel is a fun sauce to make.
I halved the recipe to make for a serving of fruit for 2. Apple, pear and bannana.
Great that your home safe and sound. So happy to be with you on your journeys abroad and will miss my "vacation" with you.
Have I told you that I love this site?...I do.
Hi Diana, I hope you hubbie likes the caramel... We find it to be dangerously good!
Oh MY YUM! Never knew it was so easy to make! Thank you!! You made me a hit with the kids!
Oh, my, goodness!! This is awesome! And so easy. I have been using Mark Bittman's recipe, from How to Cook Everything. But it's for candies, not sauce, so I always had to thin it out. And it makes such a large portion that we end up throwing some away. I hate waste, so I pulled out my Joy of Cooking and was bummed to find that the pages were missing (it's a book club edition). So, I was so glad to find your post and have the recipe turn out fabulous. Thanks!
Hey allthingsheath, Thanks so much for that nice comment. I'm so glad you seem to love this recipe as much as we do. We almost always have a jar of it in the fridge. Thank you Joy of Cooking!
Just found this recipe and made it this morning. Oh. My. Goodness. Delicious! I love your instructions. Boiling sugar is a bit like using the broiler - how quickly things can go from perfect to Uh-oh. Your instructions make it very clear and easy. I actually doubled the recipe to use for a caramel apple pie, but I believe I'll be "testing" it frequently with a spoon until that pie gets made. Thank you!
Thanks so much for a great recipe. I used my sauce to make a caramel apple cheesecake and it was so decadent and also as a dip for fresh cut apples.
Do you Have to store this in the fridge or is it ok to leave out?
Hi Elizabeth, I would keep it in the fridge.
My cousin makes this recipe every time we have ice cream sundaes - vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, and caramel sauce. It blows my mind every single time. I had to have the recipe, and now I make it on a near weekly basis. I used to use regular pure vanilla extract, until today when I used the Madagascar Pure Vanilla Paste. I was emotional over how amazing it was. And to see the little vanilla seeds gives it something extra special. I've decided this will be my Christmas gifts this year.
Adriana, Thanks so much for this sweet note - I was really touched.
We are dangerously addicted to making caramel sauce as well. I have a new version I've been working on for my cookbook - I hope you'll enjoy it.
Using Vanilla paste is a beautiful idea - thank you for sharing your inspiration with me! I'll try that one next time.
Thanks for the recipe! I'm making "sundae kits" for some Christmas presents today and I'm wondering if I can just make a bigger batch at once or if it works better to just do this amount at a time? If I do make a bigger batch, would the 2 minutes of boiling change before I remove the lid? Thanks!
I think you could double your batch size but I wouldn't go much bigger than that. Caramel is a fussy thing and I think you'll have more success making smaller batches.
For a double batch: the dissolving phase may take a bit longer; the boiling should remain at 2 minutes; the darkening phase may take a bit longer. Trust yourself - when you see the caramel really darkening around the edges and it starts to smoke - you'll be done.
Can I DON'T use Vanilla extract, mine just finished. | 2019-04-19T12:26:43 | http://yummysupper.blogspot.com/2010/02/homemade-caramel-sauce.html |

“In this inspired romp, Charlie Baker is a painfully shy Englishman who must spend a few days alone in a fishing lodge in Georgia. His friend Froggy helps by telling the innkeeper that Charlie is foreign and speaks no English.
– Larry Shue, playwright to The Foreigner.
It’s the end of the winter quarter at last, and that means two things are on our horizon: Spring, and the quarterly theater production put on through students and staff at Bellevue College.
This quarter Tammi Doyle, the Theater Department’s faculty advisor and this production’s director, has chosen The Foreigner for performance, a comedy by playwright Larry Shue.
“What happens throughout the play is that this man is unable to speak – he literally has no voice; he has problems with his wife, is shy, and says in the play itself that he has no personality.
“Through the play he holds a series of relationships with strangers – he becomes a sounding board [for everyone else in the show]. By giving them attention, he realizes the strength he has in himself.
John Dillon, a close friend of Larry Shue’s before the playwright’s passing, visited the cast during the play’s rehearsal process.
He said that Shue had gone on a trip to Japan in his younger years. Unable to speak or express himself because of the language barrier, his experiences there inspired Shue to recreate his own life experiences into The Foreigner.
To us, the South is a completely different world just as Japan was to him during his stay on foreign soil. The cast learned a lot about the play from Dillon.
Starring Fred Tsu, Tyler Sawers, Maddie Dugan, Curtis Gehlhausen, Danika Drake, Logan Wilgus and James Webster, with stage manager Melissa Russell and assistant Tim Bartz, this play is getting hype, and already starting to sell tickets.
The Foreigner is playing March 7-10 at 7:30 p.m. each night in the E Building’s Carlson Theater. Doors are open to the public at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 for the general public, $10 for student and staff who bring I.D., and are available at the door or through brownpapertickets.com. | 2019-04-22T11:43:49 | http://thewatchdogonline.com/the-foreigner-opening-march-7-8826 |

If some code should be refactored, stop what you are doing and refactor it.
Now, Chris is really smart and probably doesn’t mean exactly what he said, but it’s easy to misinterpret his advice. I’ll agree with him that you should be eager to refactor code when you discover the need. Don’t let that technical debt accrue interest longer than necessary! However, you shouldn’t be reckless about it.
Don’t do a refactoring in the middle of making another change.
If you are working on a story and in the middle of making a code change when you discover the need to refactor something, make a note of it (I usually create a chore in Pivotal Tracker) and forget about it until you’re done with the change in progress. After you complete the change, come back and do the refactoring. Make sure all tests are green before starting to refactor, and are green when done. The refactoring change should be a separate commit in git (separate checkin in SVN, etc).
OK, I’m pragmatic and realize that that approach doesn’t work all the time, but it’s a good ideal to shoot for. I considered discussing cases where it would be OK to refactor something in the middle of another change, but on second thought I think I’ll leave that be for now. You’ll learn that for yourself better than by following someone else’s advice on the subject.
I’ve been working on my tutorial session for WindyCityRails (tickets still available…). The session is about how to test when you are working in a legacy app that doesn’t have tests.
Naturally, that requires some legacy code for the attendees to work with during the tutorial. My own worst Rails messes are either back in the 1.2.x time frame or I don’t have access to them any more. I don’t have the right to distribute legacy code that I have inherited, and most of those people wouldn’t want me calling their code a junkpile in public.
So I’ve been writing a faux-legacy application, or at least enough of one to make the needed points in the tutorial. The idea stumped me for a bit because the app needs to be both complex enough to plausibly show the issues in legacy testing and simple enough so that setup and changes can actually happen in a short workshop.
Aggressive corner cutting on features that aren’t essential to the presentation.
Don’t look anything up and don’t use gems or plugins, not least of which to prevent setup issues.
Make no effort to put things in the “right” place.
Randomly, do something a little bit less elegantly than normal. Oh, and some metaprogrammy Ruby things were off limits, assuming I was writing as somebody who didn’t know Ruby that well.
Boy I sure was able to write that code fast without the pesky rules! I guess that TDD stuff isn’t that great after all.
I think I believe the second point more than the first. It’s hard to look at this code and not see some major pain coming in the future. That said, you have to acknowledge the emotional power of seeming to write fast code.
The temptation to say, “I was deliberately writing ugly code. If I just stopped doing that, then boy, I could go really fast and not use TDD, I can control bugs without TDD.” And the thing is, that’ll be true for a while. Maybe a long time, if you’re pretty good and working by yourself.
XP or not XP, that is the question. The answer is XP.
While I’m commemorating anniversaries this summer, I just remembered another one.
Ten years ago this summer was when I first read the original Kent Beck “white book”, Extreme Programming Explained, which is one of only a couple of books that completely changed the way I approach whatever it is that I do. Considering that I’ve spent most of the last ten years practicing, advocating for, and writing about XP and Agile development, it’s not an overstatement to say that Kent’s book, and the ideas about how to be a professional programmer, changed my professional life.
I spent most of the winter, spring, and early summer of 2000 working on a largish web project for a Fortune 500 company that you’ve definitely heard of, but which made a regular practice of scaring the hell out of any vendors who might want to ever advertise the fact of their association.
This company was large enough to have a technical conference/fair for the IT departments of its various subsidiaries. I remember attending as a vendor, and being in a presentation from the company’s legal department that prominently featured the comment, “you vendors have the silly idea that your liability is limited to the size of your contract with us”.
Anyway… the project was a collaboration among several subsidiaries that had never worked together before. Not only was this the largest project I had been on by far, but there were also about a half dozen customer companies that all had different ideas about how the project should run — it wasn’t unusual to have conference calls with about three dozen client representatives to about five of us. I always kind of thought that the reason our tiny web company was picked for the project was to act as an impartial referee.
Unsurprisingly, we made every mistake there was. We picked tools that were not adequate to the task, and although our application design wasn’t bad, regressions were a constant feature of our staging deployments. The customer kept changing the goals of the site, not to mention tiny details, and we had no way to organize or manage the changes. We had an ongoing argument with one of the internal teams who wanted us to change our entire database schema. Our own management grabbed half the development team to completely redo the interface less than a week before the deadline.
In the wake of the initial delivery, my company did some retrospective sessions. I had heard about XP a little at that point, and was looking for some way to vocalize my feeling that the project had been a structural failure, even though we had more or less delivered on time. Which is how I came to read the book in the first place.
Unsurprisingly, XP’s emphasis on sustainability, clear descriptions of priority and responsibility, testing, refactoring, and quality code resonated with me pretty strongly. It seemed like a rebuttal to every pain point we had in the project. I remember reading directly from the book at a retrospective meeting, prompting some wisecrack from a manager about my academic bookishness. Guilty, I guess.
With one thing and another, it was several years before I was in a position to impose a full Agile/XP project structure on a project. Until then, what I was able to do was test — even in places where that wasn’t part of the team’s normal process. The fact that test-first seemed so helpful made the whole Agile structure seem more plausible, and when I was finally able to put an Agile project in place, I was ready to make all new mistakes.
Still writing the new parts of the legacy coding chapter, last night a little bit on removing dependencies. I think only one more section to go before that’s a complete draft. Next up, I think, is making the code samples Rails 3 compatible.
Me: We use Fibonacci numbers, 4 isn’t a Fibonacci number.
Me: [Long pause] Well, um, that’s a good question.
That said, Fibonacci points seems to be something that got popular when I wasn’t paying attention, and it kind of seems to me that, theory aside, 4 is a useful concept in practice for, you know, marking a story that is bigger than 3 points, but not quite 5 points. On our team, we have at least one story in that slot every iteration, and somebody (okay, me) always bemoans that the story should be a 4.
Those of you who want to join this little “Why Not Four?” crusade, should start chanting “More Four! More Four” or “What do we want? Four. When do we want it? Three to five days from now” at your iteration planning game events. Together, we can see a brave new world without an awkward pause between three and five.
Repeating yourself is clearly an occupational hazard of blogging. I’ve been trying to put together a post about pair programming for a while. Somewhat randomly, I found myself wandering through my blog archives at Pathfinder, and I came across this little essay, which was the last thing I wrote at Pathfinder before, shall we say, Events Transpired, so I probably blocked it a bit. I definitely blocked the responses that were on the Pathfinder blog the following week, because, well, Events Were Transpiring.
First off, a real problem I have when writing about pair programming is that a significant percentage of the people I’ve been pairing with recently are likely to read this. I don’t mean anything by it — it isn’t you it’s me. I apologize in advance, and all that.
No programming technique is always appropriate, and that goes for pair programming, too. Some tasks, especially the rote, boring yak-shaving ones, don’t need a pair, and the team should have leeway to make that decision.
Have a plan with your pair. The Pomodoro 25 minutes on/ 5 minutes off thing is effective, but you need to agree to it (or some variation) when you start. However, a project with a long build time or test suite run time really kills any kind of Pomodoro-like schedule.
Pair programming is part of the agile bet — in my experience it’s almost always a short term time loss with the hope of better performance over the long haul. I know there are studies that say that two programmers pairing are faster that two programmers working alone. All I can say is that isn’t consistently my subjective experience. It is common to work in a pair that is short-term faster than I would be on my own, but I don’t always feel like the pair is faster than both programmers would be on their own separately. Again, that’s in the short term.
The bet is that the investment will pay off over time in lower defect rates and better knowledge transfer. And I do think that’s reasonable, but it’s by no means assured.
I think the best long-term goal of pairing is to keep knowledge from being siloed within the team. Anytime you are forced to say something like, “that’s a search problem, Fred has to work on it”, that becomes a potential bottleneck for your team. So rotating pairs such that everybody gets to do everything is an important part of what makes pairing work.
hate it when pairs rotate, because they don’t know who to talk to about issues having to do with a particular feature. If you are pair rotating frequently, people outside the team need to have some way of discovering who is the current contact on a story or set of stories.
Logistics are a major pain in pairing. You pay for mis-alignment of time. One person gets in a half-hour earlier. They eat lunch at different times. One person gets pulled into a meeting (a particular problem if you are pairing senior and junior members), hell, one person goes to the bathroom more. Every disconnect gets felt when a team is pairing. Mandating specific hours and eliminating work at home is emphatically not keeping with the spirit of agile as I understand it, so what’s the solution?
Pairing, by definition, leads to a loud work environment — pairs need to talk. Some people will definitely find this to be a problem, and I think it can work against concentrating on a problem.
Ultimately, I think it’s a problem if pairing is the only way that team members are allowed to work, both for logistical reasons, and also for loud work environment type environmental reasons. Which leads to the radical mush-mouth position of “pair when it’s appropriate, don’t when it’s not”, which is a really annoying conclusion to come to at the end of a blog post like this.
While I’m in the self-promoting mode, the book is also available for pre-order at Amazon and other exciting locations.
And while I’m here, I should mention that Obtiva has updated their training schedule. Obtiva offers a 4-day Boot Camp for learning Rails and TDD that will next be offered August 2nd through 5th. There’s a brand-new Advanced Rails class that will be August 30th through September 2nd, and a version of the Boot Camp that meets weekly on Mondays starting September 20th.
All of which sort of reminds me… a few years ago, when I worked at a major telecom company with a reputation for major waterfall development, I attended the “agile” track of an in-house seminar on software techniques in use at the company. Everybody in attendance there claimed to be agile, but only about 1/3 (by show of hands) were doing any kind of automated testing. It was, to say the least, a weird flavor of Agile. But I guess, you do what you can do and what works for your team.
Finally, I’ve been yammering here about iPad text editing and Dropbox for a few weeks, so I should mention Droptext, which seems to be the first iOS editor that saves and reads from Droptext. It’s rather minimal at the moment (and kind of crashy), but I suspect the mere fact that it reads Dropbox files means that it’s automatically useful.
June 16, 2010: What Shoulda We Do?
Thoughtbot talks about their plans for Shoulda moving forward. The big takeaway is that, while the context library will be separated out for use in Test::Unit, both Shoulda style and Shoulda effort will be focused on RSpec integration.
I have some complicated thoughts about this one. I’m thrilled that Shoulda is being maintained — it’s a tool I’ve used a lot, and I was starting to get worried. And they should move their open source tool in any direction they want. But, of course, I can’t help thinking about how this affects me, and having Shoulda be primarily a complement to, rather than an alternative to, RSpec has an interesting effect on the book I’m in the middle of writing.
It’s so funny how these things change. It’s been about eighteen months since I started writing what would become Rails Test Prescriptions. At the time, I was not a big fan of RSpec, largely because I didn’t like the heavily mocked style that seemed to go along with it. With the emergence of Shoulda and the factory tools, Test::Unit had gained basic functional parity with RSpec. It also seemed like Shoulda/Test::Unit was really starting to gain community mindshare.
So, I wrote the book intending it to be a basically tool-agnostic guide to Rails testing, but with most of the examples in Test::Unit on the grounds that a) Test::Unit is part of the core Ruby and Rails stack, so it’s always around, b) it’s what the core team uses, c) I personally was using Test::Unit, and d) RSpec already had a book, so it seemed prudent for many reasons to find my own space. Those of you who bought the Lulu version will remember that it has longish chapters on Shoulda and RSpec, treating them more-or-less equally as alternative mature test frameworks.
In the interim, tools have ebbed and flowed. Cucumber came out, with very strong RSpec support (especially at first), starting a bit of a trend of new tools supporting RSpec over Test::Unit. The single-assertion style from Shoulda seemed to gain some traction among RSpec users. I started actually using RSpec more, and liking it.
At the same time, some things haven’t changed. I’d still like the book to be framework agnostic to the extent possible. Test::Unit is still the Rails default, and is probably still easier for a somebody new to testing to understand. But I think I have some re-writing in my future.
Martin Fowler on what makes a good team room for an agile project.
Speaking of RSpec 2, here’s one of what I hope will be many posts from David Chelimsky about a new RSpec feature, metadata and filtering.
Gitbox is a new Max OS X interface for Git. Currently seems less full featured than the GitX fork that I use, but it does seem like a nice start.
Relevance announces PDFKit, a new library for PDF generation, along the lines of PrinceXML. I don’t see this as a replacement for Prawn at all, though. There will always be cases where direct generation makes more sense. And there will always be cases where conversion makes sense. I think doing a book with Prawn would have been challenging, for example.
Finally, here’s a simple little survey of the Ruby community. I note parenthetically that RSpec has 42% of the vote for Preferred Testing Framework, with Shoulda and Test::Unit having a combined 31%.
The Cucumber chapter is nearing final edit for beta. I cleared up a handful of errata, of which probably the most serious was a mistake on how to get the fixture data to pass the first test in the book. I’m hoping to get Beta 3 out later this week, and then I have to decide which direction for beta 4.
Oh, and the book: still on sale.
Jake Scruggs asks if you are really doing Agile development.
Mike Gunderloy makes a list of the services and tools that he finds useful in his development business. A great post if you are a small consulting firm.
Harri Kauhanen posts about how to sell Ruby on Rails projects. I’ve heard most of these in sales meetings over the last few years, though my impression was that it was getting better.
The Rubinius Ruby interpreter reached a 1.0 milestone on Friday, as noted by nearly every Ruby person on Twitter. So far, I haven’t used it, and my RVM install of it failed.
In a less interesting story, Ruby Gems 1.3.7 was also released.
This Onion article about David Simon doing a series in Wilmette, IL, cracked me up, but mostly because I grew up there.
The book is still on sale, of course. And I’d still love to see more comments in the forum.
I’ll be talking at Chicago Ruby on June 1, exact topic TBD (let me know if you have a preference), but I’m leaning toward talking about how to avoid test problems and write good, robust tests.
Kent Beck is publishing some old pieces again, including one about how the original XP book made the mistake of equating “the team” with “the developers”.
As part of the Chirp conference, Twitter and the Library of Congress jointly announced that the Library will be storing Twitter’s entire public archive.
I’m sure your expecting an easy joke about how many sandwiches the LoC now knows about in their archive, or about how scholarly papers about the archive will be limited to 140 characters. (Or, for a more academic joke, limited to 140 authors…) All that aside, though, I think archiving and making all this available is pretty neat.
Still messing with Capybara and Webrat. Somewhat hampered by the fact that most of the usage of these tools is via Cucumber, so there’s not a lot of documentation on them as standalone tools (particularly Capybara). Muddling through, though.
Two Ruby tip articles caught my eye. This one, by Alan Skorkin, is a complete overview serializing objects with Ruby. And here’s a small tip from Ruby Quick tips about ensuring that an incoming option hash has only certain keys. I think the benefit of doing that is as much in revealing intention as anything else.
In our Agile section, we’ve go Nicolas Alpi reviewing what it is like to pair program. I have a half-written post on pairing floating around MarsEdit here… I’m still ambivalent about it even after largely pairing for the last six months. I think some of that is a personality thing, but I also think the idea that pairs do a better job of staying on track has been a little oversold — it happens, but there are other offsetting issues. I really should finish that other post.
Also, part two of Kent Beck unedited and screencasting about testing. I admit I haven’t watched this part yet.
Don’t take your iPad to Israel (insert holy tablet joke here), as of a couple of days ago, the Israeli government has been blocking them at customs pending approval of their WiFi and security standards. In the meantime, those people who tried are being charged for every day the iPads sit in customs, and also agreed to pay a 16% Value Added Tax according to Israeli law.
Wait, once again, Twitter has a big announcement after I start writing this. This time, they are going to start placing ads in the Twitter stream in various ways to be announced today. My quick reactions: a) I long suspected this day was coming, b) if the ads in clients are any guide, they aren’t particularly burdensome, c) implementation details will decide how irritating this is.
Still working on Webrat and Capybara. Still waiting for a cover. Somewhat doubtful that the beta will happen this week, but I haven’t been told that for sure.
Confused by ==, equal?, and === in Ruby? You won’t be after this article.
Hey, it’s another big-time Agile founder: Ward Cunningham being interviewed. Pull quote: “When you’re doing it well it feels a little plodding, you’re not racing ahead like you might do on your own. But what happens is that it never slows down.” Can I get that on a T-Shirt?
For a while, it looked like the top story was going to be Apple’s new developer Rule 3.3.1, described here by John Gruber. More on that in a second.
Tweetie is probably the only case where I actually prefer the iPhone experience to the desktop experience, but I’d also be very sad if Tweetie for Mac was orphaned. (Not least because I just bought the MacHeist bundle in part as a way to get the Tweetie Mac beta sooner…). Later update: Tweetie developer Loren Brichter said on the MacHeist forum that the next Tweetie/Mac beta will come out.
I actually suspect that at least some of the existing iPhone Twitter clients will be able to continue — there’s clearly room in the ecosystem for apps that have much different opinions than Tweetie. It depends on how aggressive Twitter is planning to be. Dropping Tweetie’s price to free strikes me as agressive, although it may just be that the Twitter team is averse to direct ways of making money.
As for the Apple story, it’s a familiar space. Apple does something — in this case, blocking apps not originally written in C, C++, or Objective-C — that might have a reasonable user or branding component (keeping the iPhone platform free of least-common-denominator cross-platform apps) and taking it just too far for users or developers to be comfortable with it. That’s, of course, an understatement, as a lot of developers are really angry. Gruber’s point about the Kindle apps is good (and was later cited by Steve Jobs), but on the whole, I think this is a bit to far for Apple, or maybe I’m just upset that that the door seems to have been slammed on MacRuby apps for iPhone ever being feasible.
Still working on the Webrat/Capybara chapter. Describing two tools that are so similar is really challenging for me — when there’s a difference, keeping it clear which tool is under discussion.
Also I’ve got the probability that I’ll have an article in an upcoming issue of the Pragmatic Magazine. This will probably be based on material from the book, but edited to fit the magazine article format. Probably either factory tools or mocks. Or maybe Ajax testing. Haven’t decided yet.
Don’t think I’ve mentioned this yet, but here is a cool presentation of RSpec tricks. Some of these don’t work in RSpec 2, though.
While we’re on the presentation kick, here’s a nice intro to Git from James Edward Gray.
If you’ve ever tried to deploy Agile in a hostile environment, then the recent This American Life episode about the General Motors/Toyota NUMMI plant will resonate for you.

A ureteric stent (tiny hollow, plastic tube) is then handed through the nephrostomy tube into your ureter. This stent makes sure that urine (pee) drains from your kidney to your bladder. The nephrostomy tube might be taken out soon after your stent is in position. Your stent will stay in place for a handful of months.
You have to Use a tub or shower the night before your surgical procedures and A different a person each morning. That is to cleanse your skin.
You should not take in or consume immediately after midnight.
You must take away any make-up, jewellery, nail polish, Fake teeth, Call lenses, eye Eyeglasses and prostheses (Untrue body components).

You'll have an I.V. inside your arm or hand.
When you've got any ache, check with your nurse for discomfort medication.
You're going to be allowed to consume or consume when you feel properly enough.
You'll want to get ten to fifteen deep breaths and move your legs and toes every hour when you are awake. Make this happen till you happen to be up and about.
Your nurse will let you get off the bed right away following your medical procedures. This is critical for your blood circulation and breathing. You'll have a tube with your bladder to eliminate urine (pee).
The tube will remain in spot for one - two days.
For those who have a nephrostomy tube, It'll be linked to a drainage bag.
If you do not Have a very nephrostomy tube, there will be a small bandage above the spot in which the tube was.
Your bandage will likely be modified daily.
You need to arrange for someone to select you up by eleven:00 A.M. about the day of the discharge.
You should not lift anything around five kilos or do any tough activity for two months.
Gentle physical exercise like going for walks need to be performed daily.
You need to consume six-8 Eyeglasses of drinking water daily.
You need to eat very well balanced meals to circumvent constipation (fruits, veggies, bran and complete wheat bread).
Don't pressure to move your bowels. A laxative or stool softener may be wanted until finally your bowels turn out to be common.
Using a stent set up some blood with your urine is regular.
Should the blood with your urine is constant and isn't going to decrease read more any time you drink far more, Get in touch with your health care provider.
You may still have to have a bandage in your drain web-site.
Alter your bandage on a daily basis and remove it when the realm is healed.

‘And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, “And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” – Matthew 21:12-13.
Let us make no bones about it. This financial crisis is a major spiritual crisis. It is the crisis of a society that worships at the temples of consumption, and that has isolated and often abandoned millions of consumers now trapped on a treadmill of debt. It is the crisis of a society that values the capital gains of the rentier more highly than the rights of people to a home, or an education or health. It is the crisis of a society that idolises money above love, community, wellbeing and the sustainability of our planet. And it is a crisis, in my view, for faith organisations that have effectively colluded in this idolatry, by tolerating the sin of usury.
I define usury as the exalting of money values over human and environmental values; of creating money at no cost and lending at rates of interest intended to accumulate reserves of unearned income. Of reaping that which one did not sow.
Luther’s views were regarded as fanatical and were to be firmly displaced by the teachings of John Calvin (1509-1564) whose writings altered the status of the usurer in society. Instead of arguing in effect that loans should be “natural” or sustainable, Calvin argued that interest is lawful, provided that it does not exceed an official maximum.
Calvin said that when Christ said “lend hoping for nothing in return”, that meant we should help the poor freely. He dissected two Hebrew words for usury – neshek meant “to bite”, tarbit meant “to take legitimate increase” – and argued that only “biting” loans were forbidden. Thus one could lend at interest to business people who would make a profit using the money. In what was to be an epic shift, the Christian goalposts had been moved; by Eck and then Calvin. Whereas Islam remained opposed to interest and usury, elites in Christian societies were given permission to decide on a rate of interest.
Today, unscrupulous moneychangers like the head of Lehman Brothers stand condemned by millions – robbed of their money, their pensions, their homes and their futures. Too late, the moneychangers have taken their gains and fled, leaving bankruptcy, losses and a systemic global financial crisis behind.
“Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money,” Roosevelt said of other unscrupulous moneychangers in 1933.
As a first step to applying those social values, we may bring back the ancient truth that usury is a sin.

Thanks to anyone of you who prayed for us, Davensly, our lawyer, and the people in authority at IBESR recently. God has been at work and continues to be even when we do not see. The best part?!? We get to make our travel plans to head down for court! In February! We are waiting for confirmation that we could go down on the 16th and stay until the 19th. Would love to go sooner but Scott will be in FL for sales meetings the week before. Also, we want to be here for the end of Cali’s hockey season over the next 10 days. She plays 5 games in 7 days (thanks to the freeze-outs we’re having) then playoffs. We’re getting used to this waiting though… pray we do not have to delay further than that. The sooner we go, the sooner our boy comes home.
Here’s my verse for the day from one of my peeps that gave me chills all over: Like cold water for a thirsty soul, so is good news from a foreign land. Proverbs 25:25. COME ON!
So happy for all of you and praying for God to help the rest of the process move swiftly.
So thankful for this news! Excited for you to go.
Terrific news…….Yes, praying without ceasing……What an awesome verse!!
Come on! – HE is pretty cool! | 2019-04-26T12:26:39 | https://pearcyzoned.com/2014/01/29/out-of-the-boat/?shared=email&msg=fail |

This workshop addresses a pressing and fundamental topic in plant hydraulics, how we accurately measure hydraulic vulnerability to embolism. The field of plant hydraulics has become increasingly invoked to link plant functioning with changes in climate and plant hydraulics data is critical for improving process-based models of plant and ecosystem responses to climate change. The current discrepancies are not trivial and have hindered plant hydraulics through declined manuscripts, unsubmitted or unfunded grant proposals, and an avoidance of groundbreaking research that utilizes plant hydraulic measurements. Most importantly, this workshop will allow the interpretation of future studies to not be mired in debate about methodology but instead be considered for their scientific value to the discipline. In addition to advancing scientific methodology, this workshop will train up to 5 postdoctoral researchers and 8 students (graduate and undergraduate) in the best practices for five frequently used methods to measure plant hydraulics thus improving future scientific outputs that involve plant hydraulic measurements.
Additionally, this workshop will allow for collaboration of researchers who come from many diverse backgrounds, including at least 9 women and individuals from five different countries. Plant hydraulics, the study of how plants move and manage water, has become an invaluable realm of science that has been invoked to address critical questions across spatial scales and biological disciplines. Particularly, advances in methodologies that allow scientists to efficiently derive hydraulic vulnerability curves in the laboratory have greatly advanced our understanding of plant functioning. Despite these methodological advances, several recent publications (e.g. Choat et al. 2010, Cochard et al. 2013, Jansen et al. 2015) have suggested that some of the most commonly used measurement methods give varying results, and thus the discipline is currently challenged with reconciling these differences.
Due to these conflicting reports about methodologies, the scientific community is at an opportunistic moment to advance past these challenges by addressing all current methodologies in a focused and inclusive study. This workshop will use five methods to develop vulnerability curves on species that span wood anatomy and include species that have previously shown varying results depending on the method used. This methodology will allow for resolution of the influence of anatomical differences on discrepancies across the four methods requiring excised plant material and link these results to imaging of live plants using high-resolution computed tomography (HRC. Specifically this workshop will develop hydraulic vulnerability curves using bench dehydration, air injection, static centrifuge, and acoustic emission coupled with HRCT imaging on intact plant samples of four species to come to a consensus about these discrepancies and best practices for future research methods. | 2019-04-21T14:33:11 | https://vivo.nkn.uidaho.edu/vivo/display/n240871 |
Google Adwords is a tedious task, but at the same time, it is important for boosting the sales of the business. Google is the top most and rated search engines on which 10 billion of people rely every day to search something and trust the results of Google. Google has understood the importance of online marketing and has introduced .
As Adword is relatively new in the market, you need to know more and detail information before you have decided to opt for the service. Here, we are discussing the essentials of the Adword.
Google AdWords is an online advertising service developed by Google to help marketers reach their customers instantly.
When someone searches on Google for a particular keyword say ‘buy shoes’, Google would throw a list of searches for you. But if you look closely, you will notice that the top and the bottom results are generally ads.
As in this image you can see first three link are google ad and last two link are google inorganic search result.
Advertisements on Google are called PPC advertisements because you get charged only when a person clicks your advertisement.For create your add with google adword visit www.adwords.com or www.google.com/adwords.
Now, let’s see all of these ad types in detail.
Like my buy shoes example earlier, when a user searches for something on Google, the list of ads that appear above the organic listing are called search ads. For example, when a user searches for “buy shoes online”, the search results will look something like this.
Quality score: Quality score again depends on all of the other factors mentioned above. So, it’s more like a cycle than everything else. Everything is inter related.
All these special ads are available on the search network. Except for call-only ads, others are available in display and video campaigns as well. The concepts are the same, but the platforms are different.
Keywords – The ads are displayed based on the keywords that they are optimized for. Let’s say the keyword for the ad is “Social Media Marketing”, then Google would choose websites that have content on the topic. Basically Keyword are very important for google adwords champion. So before create your ad you should research best keywords by using google Keyword Planner tool.
So, now you know what Google AdWords is, and the types of ads that are available for you to run.You can use any one of them which is good for your business, only you will decide according your business requirement.
We hope that you like this so please like, share and comments.

What led you to discover your talent and love for art?
I have known all my life that I have a talent for art. As a child, I was always creating, whether that was by drawing, painting or sewing. I did art all through high school and then went to art school after the HSC, but was enrolled in a commercial art course and wasn’t enjoying it.
I remember the school offered to swap me into a fine arts course, but I was worried about ending up being a poor artist unable to support myself, so I took the safe route and studied education instead. During my twenties and early thirties, I was too busy working and raising little children to have any energy to put into art, but always knew that one day I would get back into it again.
Where do you generally create – do you have an indoor studio, or do you prefer to paint en plein air?
I have a studio in my home where I do most of my work; however, when I am working on my reclaimed timber assemblages, I work on the driveway and in the garage. I do tend to take over a lot of the house at times!
You’re a mixed media artist. What medium do you most like to work with, and what techniques do you prefer to use?
My art practise encompasses drawing, painting, printmaking and reclaimed timber assemblages. I like to work across mediums, as it challenges me to fully explore the medium and the concepts that I am investigating and assists in developing the work in ways I might not have envisaged.
For me, it’s in the doing that work develops. I usually start a new body of work by drawing extensively. After I have done lots of drawing, I will then progress into another medium, probably painting onto paper, or otherwise painting directly onto board or canvas. After I have done a reasonable sized body of work in this medium I might then start developing some timber assemblages thinking about the ideas and concepts that I have been exploring in drawing and painting. I find that what I have learnt in one medium feeds into the work that I do in the next.
The medium I like working with most? Each medium provides a different set of experiences; however, I would have to say that I absolutely love the physical act of painting. Being totally immersed in the experience and having several paintings on the go at once… just you and the paint! That is extremely satisfying, and that is when the best work develops. I also love getting back to the basics and looking at an object or a group of objects and just drawing them!
Where and when did you receive the majority of your art training?
My formal art training came more recently – I have just completed a Diploma in Fine Art at North Coast TAFE. This was extremely beneficial, as it helped me to refine and consolidate all the skills and knowledge that I had developed over the years, as well as developing an understanding of the broader artistic community and where my art practise fits into that.
What is one colour in your collection of paints/supplies you simply could not do without – and why?
I would probably have to say black Conte. Conte is a drawing medium, in between charcoal and graphite. It has a lovely feel to it when you draw with it, and it produces rich, dark tones when you wash it with water. I find I use it all the time for drawing now.
Why are you drawn to still life works … what is it about the relationship between objects and their environment that appeals to you?
We are surrounded by still life objects in our everyday lives, and for me, these objects provide a constant source of visual input. When I look at a table with objects on it, it isn’t the realistic representation of those objects that I want to depict, but the relationship between the objects and their colours, the spaces between the objects, the colours within the shadows, and the light that is falling onto the objects. There is a sense of stillness and order that I like about still life as well.
My work focuses on the fundamental elements of what I see in the built environment around me, and it is the relationship between colour and form, the subtleties of an edge, the use of space, the build-up of layers to create surface and the subtle glimpse of one colour underneath another colour that I aim to express in my work.
In 2010 I started painting on small square wooden boards and was assembling those to create larger works. I was thinking about building up layers of paint and how I could create different surfaces by rubbing the paint back, but then I came across some old wooden boards and thought, “Why try and create something when those layers and textures can be found naturally in old weathered boards!” A friend suggested I have a look in his shed … I came home with a bundle of old bits of wood, and the first assemblage piece was created!
You’ll be holding an exhibition of your work in early May. What’s the exhibition called, and when and where will it be held?
The exhibition is called the studio within and is being held at the Macleay Valley Community Gallery in Gladstone from 2 – 12 May 2013. Opening night is Saturday 4 May at 6.30pm. There will be live music, wine and nibbles, and I invite everyone to attend!
How many artworks will you have on display, and how varied are the pieces?
I have the whole gallery space, so there will be a lot of work on display. There will be still life paintings and framed works on paper, a selection of my reclaimed timber works and three large relief prints.
Will there be any costs associated with attending the exhibition?
No. The exhibition is free to attend. The gallery is open Thursdays – Sundays, 10.30 – 4pm.
Where can people contact you if they’re interested in your work, or find out more information about the exhibition?
People can contact me by email on [email protected] People can view my work on flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/93146097@N05/, on Facebook, or in For Good At Home in Port Macquarie.
Thanks Kerry. Interview by Jo Atkins. | 2019-04-22T04:15:47 | http://portmacquarie.focusmag.com.au/local-artist-kerry-kranitis/ |

Play or download wav file from MySQL: Play or download wav file from MySQL without writing to disc.
I need to play or download wav file from MySQL without writing to disc.
Is the .wav file stored in DB as BLOB or what?
I don't know if it is possible to do that or even desirable.
What happens is that when you use unbuffered queries, while the database client is retrieving data from the database, an implicit transaction is going, meaning that you may be implicitly locking the tables until the whole result set is retrieved.
Still MySQLi has the store_result function for the statement objects. It retrieves and store the whole result set so will not hold the result set. I am just not sure if the result set is stored in memory or in a temporary file to avoid exhausting PHP memory to the limit.
Anyway, I don't know of a class that can do that so far.
Do you have .wav already in DB or you just planing to use DB for.wav?
If you just planing, probably it's better to store them like common files. Flash players (I have such a player) and HTML5 players (I guess) allow to start playing media before whole file uploaded to browser.
By the way, MySQL DB is also stored on disc.
you may find your happiness here. | 2019-04-22T22:15:57 | https://www.phpclasses.org/recommend/774-Play-or-download-wav-file-from-MySQL-without-writing-to-disc-.html |
The Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) module provides an interface to the device's Non-Volatile Memory controller, so that memory pages can be written, read, erased, and reconfigured in a standardized manner.
The specific features are only available in the driver when the selected device supports those features.
The NVM memory space of the SAM devices is divided into two sections: The Main Array section, and an Auxiliary space section. The Main Array space can be configured to have an (emulated) EEPROM and/or bootloader section. The memory layout with the EEPROM and bootloader partitions is shown in the figure below.
The Main Array is divided into rows and pages, where each row contains four pages. The size of each page may vary from 8-1024 bytes dependent of the device. Device specific parameters such as the page size and total number of pages in the NVM memory space are available via the nvm_get_parameters() function.
The figure below shows an example of the memory page and address values associated with logical row 7 of the NVM memory space.
As mentioned in Memory Regions, the main block of the NVM memory is divided into several individually addressable pages. These pages are grouped into 16 equal sized regions, where each region can be locked separately issuing an NVM_COMMAND_LOCK_REGION command or by writing the LOCK bits in the User Row. Rows reserved for the EEPROM section are not affected by the lock bits or commands.
By using the NVM_COMMAND_LOCK_REGION or NVM_COMMAND_UNLOCK_REGION commands, the settings will remain in effect until the next device reset. By changing the default lock setting for the regions, the auxiliary space must to be written, however the adjusted configuration will not take effect until the next device reset.
If the Security Bit is set, the auxiliary space cannot be written to. Clearing of the security bit can only be performed by a full chip erase.
Reading from the NVM memory can be performed using direct addressing into the NVM memory space, or by calling the nvm_read_buffer() function.
Writing to the NVM memory must be performed by the nvm_write_buffer() function - additionally, a manual page program command must be issued if the NVM controller is configured in manual page writing mode.
Before a page can be updated, the associated NVM memory row must be erased first via the nvm_erase_row() function. Writing to a non-erased page will result in corrupt data being stored in the NVM memory space. | 2019-04-21T18:45:12 | http://microchipdeveloper.com/32arm:samd21-nvmctrl-overview |
A lot of people assume that the first day of college is the first day of class, which is not particularly true! You don’t have to get into study ninja mode just yet. You will go through orientation first, though. Now, what is orientation? It is a period of time for you to get to know your college and coursemates better.
The duration of orientation differs for every institution. It can be as short as two days or as long as two weeks. Many students don’t give much thought to orientation. It is important! You will have ice-breaking sessions, a brief explanation of your course and also a tour around your campus. This will save you from the maze your mind makes up by trying to get anywhere around college afterwards.
Let’s get things straight. Your main goal in college should always be your education. Something to keep in mind is that college is nothing like school. You need to adapt to how the lessons are conducted. You need to be able to keep up with the fast-paced lessons. Also, your lecturers won’t always give you homework as a form of revision, which is both good and bad. Sometimes, you can’t even expect note handouts, so you will have to write your own notes. You really need to be independent and take the time to do your own research to ace a course. Of course, you would also have coursework that you will need to prioritise throughout your time as a college student.
Remember the days of carrying your backpack bursting at the seams with textbooks? You can finally kiss that goodbye now. A notebook, file and some stationery are really all you need to attend lectures. Another tip for you is to never buy your textbooks until your lecturers tell you to because you might end up not using them. Some textbooks can even be found online for free.
In college, you are in charge of how you spend your own time. Most students don’t make use of their time effectively. Depending on what pre-u course you pursue, your schedule can be quite free, so you must use it wisely. You can choose to do revisions, join clubs, finish up your assignments, walk around the campus or even rest.
You can do anything that you want. One of the beneficial things for you to do is to join the many selections of clubs or societies. You need to make sure that you join a club based on something you love doing. Because there’s nothing more important than loving what you do. If you think that’s too much for you to juggle in between lectures and all the assignments piling up, then, rest. Your body and brain would appreciate a little peace and quiet once in a while. There’s nothing wrong with that!
A lot of graduates would tell you that college has to be the best time of their lives. And I, myself, too feel that way. So best believe that your decision to pursue your tertiary education is very wise. The answer to all the whys and the hows about college is all soon to be found by you. All you need to know is that it is not all bad if you do it the right way. Now that you know what’s coming, you’ll ace your college life in no time! | 2019-04-19T12:22:05 | https://www.coursesmalaysia.com/study-advice-and-tips/campus-survival-guide/a-heads-up-before-you-enter-college |

Plano's oldest house has finally arrived at its new home.
On Wednesday, crews completed the final leg of a move for the historic Collinwood House after a years-long debate over its future.
The two-story farmhouse, built around 1861, is now part of the Haggard Farm off Parkwood Boulevard. The plan is for the Collinwood House to eventually be restored and incorporated into future development on that property, according to city officials.
"It's not just a record in a book," preservation advocate Candace Fountoulakis said of the home. "It's something you can walk in, see, feel, touch."
The city of Plano purchased the 80-acre Collinwood Farm in 2009 with plans to develop it as part of a 124-acre park. The pioneer home on the site was declared a hazard, but efforts to relocate it fell through.
Last year, after voters rejected a $3.5 million bond measure to restore the house, the city council voted to tear it down. A preservation architect was tapped to document the dismantling. His estimate for the job was $250,000.
But city officials changed their mind and decided once again to offer up the house and pledged to use the $250,000 to move it off-site. Haggard Enterprises Ltd. submitted the only bid.
Clint Haggard talks with family friend Jeff Nesbitt in front of the Collinwood Home, built around 1861, as it is prepared to be moved to the Haggard farm in Plano.
The Haggards are one of Plano's founding families. Clinton Shepard Haggard bought the Collinwood house in 1862 and lived there with his family for years before it was passed down to his daughter and then a granddaughter. The house changed hands several more times before it was sold in 1956 to the Sowell family, whose trust later sold the property to Plano.
Crews have been busy for weeks prepping the historic structure for the move. Last week they lifted it off its foundation and onto a moving truck. The truck made the slow trek Wednesday along a few city streets to the home's new resting spot.
The Haggards' farm is only about a quarter mile from the home's original location, Plano city spokesman Steve Stoler said.
Fountoulakis is happy the structure will be preserved. She hopes people will start referring to it as the Haggard house in honor of its new owners. And while it didn't qualify for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, it is still a significant piece of history, Fountoulakis said.
"It's important to save because it's so unusual and rare," she said.
Construction has already begun on the city's Windhaven Meadows Park, which will include trails, ponds and a dog park. The project is expected to be completed in late 2019 or early 2020, Stoler said. | 2019-04-24T18:51:59 | https://www.dallasnews.com/news/plano/2018/09/19/planos-oldest-house-moved-new-home-haggard-farm |
