St Paul’s again, and is it surprising that it became such a symbol? Even now the committees and groups of concerned Londoners who try and preserve Hampstead Heath remain angry that the new buildings given permission by a nod from Boris Johnson (it is sick-making to have to mention his name on the Post but it’s important people know that many of the terrible new skyscrapers being built at the moment did not have actual ‘planning permission’ – what a quaint, old-fashioned concept – but were nodded through by him when he was Mayor), these new buildings now spoil the view of St Paul’s from the Heath. Go up to Parliament Hill and look and you will see that more damage was done, aesthetically, in 2015-19 than in 1941. | 2019-04-19T02:37:19 | http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/content/persephonepost/6-february-2019/ |
HSN Community / Forums / Talk Among Yourselves / Where is Anji Corley?
Anji was a real treasure to HSN. She is sorely missed.
Wish HSN would bring Anji Corley back. If some mentoring was needed I’m sure HSN would be qualified to invest in helping her.
She said she left to pursue new opportunities. I think the decision to leave was her own choice. I don’t think she wants to come back.
I miss Anji’s energy & she seemed to always be happy(beautiful smile). I thought maybe she took on a different job behind the scenes. Please try and bring her back, she is missed.
I was wondering where she was…I thought that maybe HSN had her working on a off screen project. I did not realize that she was gone. If the new faces that I see replaced her…this is just sad because they are poor replacements, and I will not be purchasing when they are presenting.
Anji was super and she is missed!
I miss her too. She was very good and Shannon Fox is a very poor replacement.
I really miss Anji!!! She was so real, energetic and cool. Does anyone know why she left? If HSN let her go…Big Mistake! I always found myself purchasing when she was hosting. | 2019-04-26T04:30:33 | https://community.hsn.com/forums/hsn-chat/where-is-anji-corley/402616/ |
As the title mentions, this is a guide by a noob which spells out the steps that build a lineage ROM. What the title does not mention is that this article is aimed at noobs as well. Now lets get down to business.
Disclaimer: Please note that by following the steps as mentioned in this article you can seriously damage your smart phone. There is a good chance your phone would be bricked i.e. effectively be rendered useless and cause a lot of frustration, irritation and make you pull at your hair. If you hit that point later, Please do not look towards me to save you since I am also new to this and like you learning how to traverse this parallel universe of custom ROM development. That being said do not despair. As the saying goes browse and you shall find – Check out the internet and you would find others who have messed up their smartphones and yet somehow lived to tell the tale. In most cases you would be able to revive your phone. Ideally do not use your daily driver for such experimentation.
After reading all this if still want to go ahead then read on.
Build a custom lineage ROM for your smart phone. I own a Xiaomi MiA1 and used the same as my target phone. You may have a different model but technically the build steps should be the same for all android phone models.
A linux based or a Mac computer.
Windows computers do not directly support the tools required for this type of development. As such they are not being covered in this article.
The recommended operating system is Ubuntu.
A basic understanding of Linux based OS specifically Ubuntu.
Ability to type and use the command line. Write or copy paste commands in the Ubuntu konsole.
A basic understanding of programming concepts, read and update XML files, understand error messages.
16 GB RAM / swap space.
Please note even with this configuration it takes me about 3 hours to build the code!
I used the Ubuntu 18.04 build which is the latest at the time of writing. I will be covering only the Ubuntu OS as part of this article as I do not have a Mac and as such it is out of scope for me!
Assuming you have set up the Ubuntu OS if not click this link for a detailed explanation of the installation of Ubuntu.
In a console window type or copy past the below commands.
Please note the sudo command will ask you to enter your password.
build and are ready to flash the Rom.
The Android source tree is located in a Git repository and is hosted by Google. The Git repository includes metadata for the Android source. Repo is a tool that makes it easier to work with Git .
Next type below command to make repo executable.
Now change directory and move into the newly created lineage folder.
Type \ paste these commands. Replace the text within “ ” with your credentials.
This is the step where you will realize the importance of having a fast internet connection. The source code size is about 30 – 35 GB. I have a 10 mbps line and at times the download speed shoots up to 20- 25 mbps!!! Yet it takes me anything from 4 – 10 hours to download the code!
My suggestion is check the time when your local ISP download speeds are at its best. For me it is during the night. I set the download up at night and go to sleep!
I copy the entire folder and keep a copy on an external device. This is just in case there is any need for me to format my hard disk. I do not copy the .Repo and .Cache folders on to my backup. To check hidden folders press Ctrl + H.
Step 9: Get the source code for your specific device.
This is an important part to understand. The code which you downloaded is generic in nature. For your particular device you would need to get files which are specific to your device.
The source for all these files is github. You are targeting three sets of folders – Device, Kernel and vendor. The git clone commands given below are for the tissot or Xiaomi Mia1 phone. Similarly other phones have their locations on GitHub from where you can get files specific to them.
The format of the command will remain the same for all phones only check the url and the folder names.
Step 10: Modify Caching to speed up the build process.
Type \ paste one command at a time and wait for it to execute before posting the next.
Now sit back and wait for a few hours. Check the screen, occasionally for what is happening. There will a ton or warnings showing up.Do not worry about the warnings. Read the message displayed on the screen for clues as to what is happening.
The entire build took about 3 hours on my machine with nothing else running. This duration can increase and decrease based on the configuration of your build machine. It can also depend on the files downloaded during the Repo sync process.
Finally you will get the .iso file in a folder labeled out. Check the screen shot above. It shows the build settings screen. Have been using it as on my main driver and so far so good.
There is a very good chance that the build will stop many times. When this happens read the error message and then try googling it. I can guarantee that there would be number of other people across the world who have faced similar issues while building their custom ROM’s. See what solutions have been suggested and try them out. It took me almost a week to get my first build right!
Then in the same day I got 2 builds in a row that were successful! It has a lot with having all the right files in the build environment + a good hardware configuration + lots of luck!
At times the error message which stopped the build could report that a particular file is not found in a particular folder. Do a search in the base lineage folder and see if the file is there in any other folder. Simply copy it to the folder where the build is expecting it. After that run the build commands again and restart the build.
Remember to use your default login. I used su – superuser and ran into trouble while doing a repo with the normal login. So I do not use su for the build and do the entire build and repo sync with my login. Since i installed the system Ubuntu is satisfied with my credentials.
As I mentioned at the start this is my first shot at building a custom ROM. While there is not exactly much customization being done here as the source code is available on Lineage.com and the files specific to the device were shared by various developers on GitHub. All that I have done is that I downloaded the code and recompiled it on my machine. Having said that there is a sense of pride that you feel when you see your name in the settings tab!!!!
Hope this was a easy to understand guide to help noobs around the world do their own custom ROM development. This article is as I mentioned a guide, you should refer the links given below and get a complete understanding of the process of building ROM’s before you start on your own. So good luck with your custom ROM building!!!
Some important links which you should visit to understand how the experts do it.
The process to flash the build is given here. Please use the same sequence to avoid issues. | 2019-04-21T14:45:36 | https://manojnaironline.com/2018/07/05/a-noobs-guide-to-build-a-lineage-rom/ |

The customizable, made-to-order format works for bowls and pizzas—so why not doughnuts? That’s the premise behind this 12-year-old chain, which focuses on warm cake doughnuts topped with a choice of icings and toppings such as peanuts, marshmallow and salted caramel. Stores feature a viewing area, so guests can watch the doughnut-making process. The chain is currently testing online ordering, with plans to roll the program out nationwide by the end of the year. | 2019-04-26T15:56:33 | https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/future-50-2018/duck-donuts |

"RAA L-188 N1968R" by Piergiuliano Chesi. Licensed under CC BY 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons.
From its official start in 1947 to its tragic downfall in 2000, and for years beyond, Reeve Aleutian Airways has always had a unique legacy. Known for buying its aircraft from other airlines, rather than purchasing new airplanes, Reeve Aleutian maintained a small fleet, often consisting of rugged turboprops. The Anchorage-based airline had a special purpose: to connect cities all across Alaska, which would otherwise be isolated, and to connect some Alaskan cities to the mainland U.S.
Prior to the actual start, founder Robert C. Reeve had been flying over the harsh Alaskan terrain for years. In February 1946, Reeve purchased his first DC-3 for $20,000. Two months later, a strike by sailors sailing between Anchorage and Seattle gave Reeve a transportation advantage. He commenced transporting passengers between the two cities on his newly acquired DC-3. Each trip carried 21 passengers and produced over $93,000, enough money to buy three more DC-3’s. A fifth was later added to the growing fleet.
After the official launch, the young airline received a temporary five-year operating certificate. Finally, in October 1948, Reeve Aleutian Airways was granted all the business in the area. In that same year, an additional DC-3 was purchased, alongside a Sikorsky S-43 and a Grumman G-21 Goose.
In 1950, Reeve received a $125,000 loan for his airline, terrific news after being denied on multiple occasions. However, the money was actually spent in part later that same day in order to counter more negative news. Pacific Airmotive, the company that performed repairs on the airplanes, announced that it would go out of business. Reeve acted quickly, buying the company and renaming it Reeve Airmotive. In the mid-1950’s, Reeve Aleutian’s DC-3’s were no longer effective for the airline’s purposes. The rapidly expanding airline selected the next generation airplane, the DC-4. Eventually, the newer model replaced the DC-3’s completely. Multiple important fleet changes came upon Reeve Aleutian in 1957, further shaping the airline. The S-43 was traded in, two Curtiss C-46 Commandos were purchased, and a Grumman G-21 Goose was leased from Interior Airways. In the early 1960’s, the DC-4, now considered outdated, was replaced with a DC-6B. In the late 1960’s, the Lockheed L-188 Electra dominated Reeve Aleutian’s fleet. Unfortunately, in November 1974, a hangar fire destroyed two of the new Electra’s.
Reeve Aleutian started non-stop service between Cold Bay and Seattle using an Electra in 1979. The three-year service turned out.very successful, with very few cancelations despite the weather. After this route was called off, Reeve Aleutian gained interest in a tri-engine jet, the Boeing 727. They purchased two of these airplanes from Wien Air Alaska in 1983. The jet engine airplanes were a change from their rugged turboprops. In 1985, USPS suffered a severe backlog of mail during the holiday season. Reeve Aleutian stepped up and assisted in the painstaking delivery process, further improving their image.
Despite the airline’s positive reputation, trouble came upon the airline in the early 1990’s. They suffered serious financial problems in many aspects of the airline. Their fleet of seven aircraft, many of them turboprops, was not sufficient enough to accommodate all of their routes. In 1994, an incident with one of the Lockheed Electra’s en route from Cold Bay to Seattle revealed brave and heroic pilots upon the safe landing, but did not change their financial crisis. Yet the airline continued to hold on, losing routes for their aircraft and aircraft to the desert along the way. On December 5, 2000, Reeve Aleutian Airways submitted to its problems and completely ceased operations. All that remained of the airline was one line turboprop and a single 727. | 2019-04-23T22:44:28 | http://airlinegeeks.com/2015/04/23/tbt-in-aviation-history-reeve-aleutian-airways/ |
The Lili Ledy Star Wars action figure line from Mexico has some unique features that make them interesting for collectors all around the world. This article is meant to be read by collectors interested in mint on card action figures, as well as variations or non-USA action figures, but it will be surely be nice reading for every Star Wars fan.
Some years ago (actually decades) the first thing a kid wanted to do with his new Kenner action figures was rip them from the card and bubble. 20 years later a great number of collectors do amazing things to find those action figures on their original cards or boxes just as Indiana Jones hunts for rare treasures of unknown but surely high value.
Certainly is very difficult to find any action figure mint on card and in great condition but...When was the last time you saw a Lili Ledy "See-Threepio" mint on card? Never? Fifteen years ago? There are a great number of books and sites on the net where you can learn every detail about the Kenner Star Wars action figures but what about those old mexican Star Wars figures. | 2019-04-25T09:01:30 | http://rebelscum.com/lili-ledy.asp |

Are you insuring intangible assets for your business? Almost every organization has risks associated with intangible assets, which make up more than 80 percent of the average value of a business, according to Forbes. The proportion can be even higher for small businesses in startup mode.
An intangible asset is property that is not physical in nature. Intellectual property is one of the main forms of intangible assets, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, proprietary software applications and even methodologies and processes.
Insuring intangible assets helps small business owners protect their intellectual property. These types of litigation cases are often expensive and drawn out, which can damage an organization financially. Fortunately, small business owners can avoid this risk by exploring their insurance options.
There exists a mistaken belief that standard insurance policies provide protection for intangible assets, but that's often not the case. Some believe that advertising coverage contained in general insurance policies will cover intellectual property claims.
However, the April 2015 Betterley Report on intellectual property and media liability states that most insurance companies don't believe their general policies cover intellectual property, and most cases have ended in victory for the insurer. The report cautions firms to consider that coverage under such policies only applies to activities directly related to product or service advertising and that policies are narrowly written to reflect this.
Small business owners should consider taking out specialized insurance for their intangible assets. Specialized insurance protects businesses from the legal costs associated with defending or pursuing allegations related to infringements. Specialized insurance can cover patents, either against losses from third-party infringement or for those accused of infringing the rights of another patent holder. A broader form of insuring intangible assets, intellectual property insurance, expands coverage to trademarks, copyright and computer software design.
According to GrowthBusiness, intellectual property insurance covers both legal costs and resultant awards, various loss mitigation measures such as counter claims, and financial assistance that can help repair damage to reputations or brands. In addition to defensive claims, this insurance offers protection when one firm alleges that another party has infringed its intellectual property by providing the financial backing to bring a legal claim.
The knowledge and skills behind intangible assets are the lifeblood of many small organizations. Protecting those assets can make a big difference in a business's success. Small businesses should take a close look at the assets they have and consider not only whether they need specialized insurance, but they should also consider which insurance best fits their needs. | 2019-04-22T23:59:50 | https://www.adp.com/spark/articles/2018/09/insuring-intangible-assets-why-your-business-needs-more-than-general-insurance.aspx |

Recognising the need to champion this increasingly important sector of the economy, FBU Scotland is delighted to announce the dates for Scottish Family Business Week 2016.
Family firms are at the very heart of the Scottish economy and contribute greatly in terms of employment, income and community support.
Events are taking place in Glasgow and Edinburgh during the week of October 3-7 to really help put the family business sector on the map, identify ways to deal with some of the unique issues facing family firms such as succession planning, engaging the next generation and professionalising the family firm.
“Family business leaders often tell us how lonely it can be running the business and dealing with how to prepare for the future and the flagship conference taking place in Glasgow on October 6 is a perfect place to hear from fellow family businesses such as Anderson Maguire, Mactaggart and Mickel and John Watson who recently sold his family business. Each business owner will provide personal insights into their journey and the decisions they made along the way and this provides real value and practical insight for the audience,” continues Tom.
Recognising the importance of family firms in Scotland, Paul Wheelhouse MSP and Minister for Business Innovation and Energy will be delivering the welcome address, a clear indication of how the future of Scotland and the role of family firms are intrinsically linked. There will also be interactive workshops governance, family firms in the digital age and growing the family business.
Elsewhere during the week long schedule of activities, there will be a pre-conference dinner in Glasgow to bring the community together and a further event in Edinburgh to visit award-winning family firm Macsween of Edinburgh, to get a look behind the scenes and to hear from Managing Director, James Macsween.
Much more is planned to raise the profile of family firms during the week and all of the activities can be followed on social media using the hashtag #SFBW2016.
Registration is currently open for all of the events and tickets can be obtained online by visiting www.fbuscotland.com or calling the office on 0141 243 4988. | 2019-04-24T18:00:09 | https://www.familybusinessunited.com/news/SFBW-2016/ |

One of the most spectacular and unspoiled places on earth, which attracts tourists worldwide, is lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world.
This lake is considered to have the purest and most tasteful water known to man. The water in the lake is so clean and clear that one can easily catch sight of fish some forty meters down (120 feet).
There is a legend, which tourists enjoy, that a boater lost his watch to the lake which can still be seen on the bottom.
There are thousands of lakes on this planet but we are speaking of no ordinary lake, but rather about one of nature's miracles. One of the few unique places left of unspoiled beauty.
1. Baikal's basin is made up of three underwater depressions, which together holds more water than all five of the Great Lakes of North America. It holds one fifth of the earth's supply of fresh water.
2. This Siberian miracle of nature is the deepest lake (1, 700 m ) in the world.
3. The lake is so large that all of the rivers on the Earth combined would take an entire year to fill it.
4. At 25-30 million years old, it is the oldest lake in the world.
5. Baikal also hides a mystery.
The lake is home to the world's only fresh water seal. It is still a great mystery how the nerpa (seal) appeared in the center of the Asian continent, when it's relatives live in the northern arctic regions.
When standing on the top of any of the mountains surrounding Lake Baikal, the view affords you breathtaking scenery, especially the blue mirror of water that stretches as far as the eye can see.
This wondrous lake reflects the azure of the sky and the billowy white of the clouds.The view is so spectacular that one could not even imagine it in one's wildest dreams.
The lake and the entire surrounding area is truly a paradise for tourists and an ideal area for engaging in an array of outdoor pursuits, including hiking, skiing, nature photography, climbing, and whitewater sports.
Baikal is one of the most attractive vacation spots in all of Asia; a place where people can reach out and feel the synergy of Mother Nature as well as enjoy the majestic and unearthly beauty.
It is a place where you can sit back and relax, listening to the soothing music caused by the waves lapping on the shore or swim in the crystal-clear water. Nowhere else will you feel so much at one with the nature. | 2019-04-22T10:41:07 | http://www.justsomesex.com/index/sex-personals/sex-personals-near-lake.php |

Instagram can make you feel inspired, even happy, if you know the right places to look, like former editor Susan Kaufman’s feed. I have known Susan, though not very well, throughout our magazine careers; lastly she was the founding editor of People‘s popular Style Watch magazine. Rather by coincidence (and now by design), Susan started chronicling the areas around her two homes in New York City and Amagansett on Instagram, and in the process created a second career by highlighting the beauty on streets she had walked down but ignored for years. She sells her photos to prestige real estate companies, guest blogs for sites, and has new partnerships on the horizon. Best days to shoot? Non-sunny days (too many shadows). Most popular season? Anything with snow (she bundles up and runs out the door when the first flakes start to fall.) Here she shares what she loves about her new job, the women who inspire her and her five wardrobe go-tos she relies on to get the shot.
What was your career path to date? I worked in magazines my whole life. I was a fashion editor–I did shoots, styling, production. And then I became the founding editor of People Style Watch, so I oversaw all the writing and ideas, worked on the business and partnerships, and all kinds of adult responsible things. From Glamour, to Mademoiselle, to US Weekly, to People, to Style Watch–I was in the industry for 30 plus years.
When the publishing industry sort of imploded, I knew that time was going to come where I had to make a switch into something else. While I was the editor at Style Watch Instagram started happening. I couldn’t relate to Twitter. But with Instagram I thought, “Here’s something I can relate to because it’s a visual, and it’s like putting a gallery together.” So I started taking pictures on it probably 2012, ’13, while I was still working.
Backing up, I did photography professionally while I was at Mademoiselle and Glamour.
What kind of photography? Fashion and beauty. When I was at Mademoiselle in the early days I was the editor of a lot of front of book shoots. I would work with these young photographers, I would book the models, style the clothes, find the location, do everything except take the picture.
When I worked with a good photographer it was all lovely, and when I worked with someone who didn’t know what they were doing I felt like, “You know what, just give me the camera. Let me take the picture.” At a certain point I decided, “I’ve just got to learn how to do this.” So I went out with a photographer friend, Christopher Micaud, and I bought a Nikon with a portrait lens. He showed me how to use it with f-stops, and I took one year at Parsons and I learned printing and all of that.
They started giving me jobs at Mademoiselle, and when I moved to Glamour I said, “You know one of the contingencies for coming here is that you let me shoot.” They said, “Absolutely.” So I started shooting front of book stories, fashion and beauty. And then I did some actual large portfolios.
That’s amazing because I can’t think of one editor who is also a photographer. Can you imagine what your Instagram would have been like then if had existed? I think about that because I used to do my own little books. I had this machine where you put the slide in, and then you pulled out this Polaroid. The quality of the Polaroid was just gorgeous; I would make these little books. I would have slides of Harbor Island–the beautiful little candy-colored cottages and details. They were almost like mini Instagrams.
Do you still have them? I do. But the ability to take pictures on this phone is a revelation. When I was at Style Watch, the other thing that was the aligning was the Fitbit came out. I got on this kick where I was wearing my Fitbit and was like, “I’ve got to walk.” Before and after work, or if I was going on an appointment somewhere, I would start taking different routes and walking.
When I stopped working and I had time, I was walking, looking, and falling in love with New York again. That’s kind of the genesis of it.
How do you describe your photography? What genre is it? It’s hard to categorize. It’s not really about the architecture–it’s about the charm. I hashtag all of my pictures #socharming because that’s the context. It has to have some charm to it, some details, some prettiness, some human side of New York and the Hamptons, and sort of old-world charm. But I guess it could fall into travel, lifestyle, architecture.
Beyond that, growing up I always loved architecture and I’ve always been attracted to anything that is aesthetically pleasing or beautiful design-wise. And the discovery process of walking through the West Village and reading the plaques of who lived somewhere. Or discovering these little streets. Then I go home and I Google and get all kinds of information. There’s this process of discovery, and history, and learning something new. All those things that make it really fun and exciting.
What do you love about doing it the most? Having been in magazines and being a visual person, to have control over this gallery that is a total expression of what I personally like, and what my aesthetic is, and treating it almost like a little mini magazine where I can look at the “layout”. You get instant feedback. you start realizing what people are responding to, and you can almost predict what’s going to do well and what’s not.
Everyone is looking for purpose in life, and you think, “Oh, it’s just Instagram. What’s the point of all this?” But, honestly what’s going on in the world is so depressing, at the very least I’m putting out something beautiful and positive every day, and I hear that feedback from so many people.
And I got this comment from this woman in Sydney, Australia. She’s wrote, “You’re the first thing I look at when I wake up. And I always go to that. And my husband thinks I’m crazy, but it makes me so happy.” Nothing could make me happier than getting a comment like that.
I also get a lot direct messages, “I’m coming to the Hamptons, I’m coming to New York, where should I go?” I’ve become a mini tour guide, and have made up templates for specific streets, buildings.
Mini walking tours! What inspires you? Beauty. I also like things that have history and a backstory to them.
You spend your time between Greenwich Village and Amagansett, how does the dichotomy of being in these two different places affect your work? The Hamptons are wide open–there’s sky, there’s air, there’s the beauty of nature, there’s the beach. I feel that Sag Harbor is the West Village of the Hamptons. It’s where I love to stroll. I love the smaller houses, I love cottages. There’s again that sense of history. And the light there is just…that’s why painters have always gravitated there, the light is so beautiful.
Every time I get off the Jitney in New York in Midtown, I’m shocked. I just get this jolt of noise and energy and it’s kind of crazy. It takes me about a day to readjust. I love the city because I can walk anywhere, I can go to lots of different neighborhoods.
Do you walk so many more miles than you ever used to now?I walked six miles yesterday. Not every day is like that. But that’s part of my daily goal, to walk at least three miles, take at least a few pictures.
Three words that describe your work: Charming, pretty, inspirational.
Three words that describe you: Curious, and I think that’s why I ran magazines, I’m always looking for something new. Responsible, which goes along with common sense, and sensible, and hardworking. Definitely very responsible.
Women you identify with or admire: That one isn’t hard at all because my grandmother and my mother were absolute … I’m so really lucky. My mother’s mother moved from Akron, Ohio when she was 70 to Greenwich Village. She started traveling the world by herself when she was 50. She had incredible style. She was the most curious, energetic person. She went through Afghanistan on a bus through the Khyber Pass, by herself in the 70s. She lived in Portugal, where she started writing a book. She she took me to Europe for the first time, just the two of us, when I was 14, for six weeks.She walked so fast in her 80s I couldn’t keep up with her. And she was one of my best friends and just really inspiring.
My mother is a doctor and she’s 91. She plays tennis every week. She still has an office at the hospital, she’s on boards. She just started doing voter registration because she needs people to vote. She plans trips, she took our entire family to Peru last summer and climbed up Machu Picchu.
At 91. She’s going to be 92 in June. She’s got so much drive and integrity, and is the most intelligent person I know; she makes me feel like a slacker.
You have some fearless women in your life!
Life goals: To stay out there, stay curious, be nice to people, and try and make this world a slightly nicer, better place because it’s really not at the moment. To stay healthy. Simple things. I don’t have lofty ambitions. I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot, and now I want to enjoy my life, and I want to enjoy people, I want to keep meeting people, and I want to keep learning.
Daily goals: Walk at least three miles, post a good picture.
Daily rituals: I really get up early and make myself a cup of coffee. If I’m at the house I’m with my husband and dog, a black Lab. So it’s all about the dog early in the morning; I have to pet him for at least 15 minutes. Then I read the New York Times, I post. In the city, and also at the house, my main ritual is after I’ve done everything I need to do at home, around 9:30 AM I go to Jack’s Coffee. There is one in Amagansett and one on West 10th Street. I have my morning second coffee and that’s when I do all my social media stuff. I follow people, I comment, I catch up with things, that sort of my me time to just focus.
I never feel dressed without…Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and Lancome Hypnôse mascara.
Writers and/or books that have opened a new world for you? I came up with 100. I don’t know what to do.
… that might be too many.
I have a lot. I’m a really avid reader and so many books have affected me in so many different ways. If I had to narrow it down, I love Edith Wharton; House of Mirth is one of my favorites. Growing up, this is cliched, but Little Women really opened my mind to many different ways of being. I wished I could be more like Joe, but I probably wasn’t. Alice Munro is the best short story writer ever. And then on the flip side I love David Sedaris. Gary Shteyngart, A Super Sad True Love Story, still freaks me out about social media and that was a really good book. Last but not least I’m obsessed with India, A Fine Balance, by Rohinton Mistry, is an epic book which I would recommend to everyone.
Susan’s Flair Five: Xirena shirt, $184; Madewell jeans, $128; Adidas Stan Smiths, $117; Jenni Kayne bag, $475; Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, $44.
A perfect evening is….with my husband and dog at our house. He barbecues, we binge watch something on TV or watch a movie, and it’s just super mellow.
A table is never set without….flowers. My favorite are peonies.
Handwritten notes or email? Absolutely handwritten. But if they’re younger, probably an email.
Favorite artists: I’ve always gravitated towards photography so Diane Arbus, Helen Levitt, Mike Disfarmer, who you’ve probably never heard of.
He did incredible portraits. They found this trove from 1939 to ’45 of families, they’re so beautiful. I love Avedon. Artist-wise I love Matisse, Picasso, Cy Twombly.
Five things that make a perfect room: Books, photographs, a chic but comfortable sofa. It’s the personal things that make a room, that tell your story. I lean towards a little more maximalist than minimalist.
Always in your handbag? My Mophie. God forbid my battery dies. It’s happened. I learned my lesson.
You can tell a lot about a woman by? Her shoes.
Why? I just think it tells you whether they’re into being comfortable, they’re super stylish, they’re trendy, or they’re practical.
Destination wish list: Next, I am going to Paris with my husband because we both love it, and we’ll be celebrating my birthday there in June.
I’d really like to go to Copenhagen and Istanbul. I’d like to go back to India. There’s a lot I haven’t seen that I would love to explore. And I lived in Italy three times for a total of two years, but I’ve never been to Puglia and I’d really love to go to Puglia. And Portugal.
Biggest splurge you don’t regret: Staying at the Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra when I visited the Taj Mahal. It was the most expensive hotel I’ve ever stayed in that I paid for. It was a huge splurge and it was 100% worth it.
Favorite small indulgence: Cappuccino and a croissant, or a really good slice of pizza.
Album currently on repeat: I don’t have a specific album, but I always love to listen to Stevie Wonder from the 70s. Any time it pops up on my iTunes I’m deliriously happy.
Scent that brings back memories: Bain de Soleil–the best beach smell ever.
Lucky charm: I don’t really have one, but my dog is named Lucky.
Sunday morning means….The same as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Except for the Sunday Times, because I’ll start on the crossword puzzle. And I love the CBS This Morning Sunday show. They have so many interesting stories.
Favorite hour of the day: 6:00 AM. I love having my coffee and being really chill. When I look out the window in the city no lights are on, it’s still quiet.
I love this! That comment from the woman in Sydney…about the first thing that she looks at and it makes her happy? That is how I feel about The Flair Index! I look forward to it everyday. Thank you!
Just discovered “The Flair Index” through Sue Kaufman. I love to follow Surbin her NY/Hamptons adventures. CBS Sunday Morning should do a piece on her!! Enjoy Paris and look forward to your posts.
Nice profile and a thoughtful glimpse into your process! Susan, you have such a great eye!
I adore Susan’s IG. My son just moved to NYC and it makes me feel more connected with him. This story of Susan’s background and look into her life will make me enjoy it so much more! Thank you.
Such a great, personal, inspiring article! Read it first thing this morning as I look for Susan’s feed first as well. Thank you for an easy to read, comprehensive, totally positive, personal interview! I love that format for getting to know someone and she is one I wanted to know!! What an interesting and admirable journey she has had that has now led to such an inspiring portion of my day! Thank you!
I would love to see/hug you in Paris and meet your very lucky husband.
Proud to know your inner & outer beauty since Madamoiselle magazine.
Absolutely love Susan! I look forward to her insta images and stories everyday. I love that her images are “found” right before your eyes. Thank you for more insight about the woman behind the lens. She really is so charming and real!
Well done! A good and beautiful life for a good and beautiful person. Not sure how I find her instagram a few months earlier but I’m inspired to capture more of the college town in the upper south where I happen to live.

If you have been involved in an arrest for bad behavior of any kind, such as substance abuse or a DUI, you will most likely be ordered to take some courses. Rather than going to a physical location and taking up time from your busy day, you should do it all online.
Now you can take court appointed courses online for a small fee. It really is that easy. Look up john school and find out more. It is important to realize that not just any online courses will work. You need to be sure the school has courses that are accepted in court. You will be glad to know that exists.
You will not have to go to a physical school, bound to a set schedule. You can take the courses you need to take online and do it on your own time, even in your spare time. Whether you are dealing with substance abuse, anger management, a DUI, or other issues, it is all right there.
Go online today and find out what courses you can take. Sign up right away so you can get the courses done just like the court ordered you to do. As a matter of fact, you can do it all really fast and get it out of the way. You will be way ahead of the others with that.
Often, such courses are in confined spaces with people you do not necessarily want to be around. With that in mind, don’t you think it is time to go online and learn more? Soon, you can be starting the courses right away and you will never have to go to a physical location at all. That is a great thing.
Now is the time to get started and move this issue out of your life once and for all.

#DontGetFooled and Pay More, Visit Brand Factory First!
Brand Factory, once again is back with some mega sale and this time I stopped by Lingampally store (near BHEL) to check out the deals and discounts.
This is one store which never disappoints me. Any time of the year I step in, I find discounts and offers always running. But this time I was more than surprised. They had my favorite brands on amazing discounts. Yay!
If Buy 1 Get 1 Free is not amazing, then I don’t know what else is!
Their ethnic wear collection is one of the best here. Available in vibrant and festive colors, these were priced at as low as half the original price!
They even had these amazing Kurtis is solid colors as well as in modern and contemporary prints. These were the amazing picks for the work and daily wear. While am a big fan of all things festive and glittery, these simple chic Kurtis absolutely stole my heart!
All this and again, most of these were almost at 50% discount which is half the price of what they are on online sites and other retail stores!
Luckily I was among the first few who went in the early hours of the sale time and so I hardly came across the crowd. But by the time I was at the billing counter, there was a queue even near the trial rooms.
So if you are like me who likes to avoid the crowd and loves to shop at leisure even during sale time, first hours are the best to hit the store! So don’t wait up, plan for tomorrow now!
I ended up picking some Kurtis in bright and peppy colors for my friends and family. After all, Diwali is the time to gift the ones you love so much! I definitely can’t wait to go back and check out their denim collection which I missed today.
There are raining discounts everywhere in Brand Factory if shopping is on the mind; this is where you need to be.
After all, why pay more when you can get for less? #DontGetFooled and visit Brand Factory first!
And if that didn’t convince you enough, this surely will……..
Wow, awesome factory. can’t wait to visit there. | 2019-04-19T09:15:03 | https://thelipstickaddict.com/fashion/dont-get-fooled-visit-brand-factory-first/ |

Nearly 30 people attended Monday night’s District 777 Board of Education meeting for a discussion on the state of Benson High School athletics; only one was allowed to speak.
Angela Nissen, a 1991 BHS graduate, told the school board that she was the mother of four children, a son who is a third grader, a boy who is a ninth grader, and two daughters who have graduated, one in 2013 and one in 2017.
Nissen was one of several parents and district residents who addressed the school board at its Oct. 16 meeting with their concerns about persistent losing records. They were not on the agenda but allowed to speak under the citizens’ comments section at the start of the meeting.
School board members gave no response to their comments. Nissen then asked to be on the school board’s Nov. 20 agenda to continue the discussion in hopes of getting the school board to acknowledge there was a problem and set in motion steps to address it.
She left the meeting frustrated and angry.
Among those in the crowd were other parents and grandparents of students attending Benson schools. There were teachers, coaches, and students.
While Nissen was making the central statement for many at the meeting, there were others who wanted to address the school board.
“Can anyone at this meeting be called on to speak if they raise their hand?” Nissen asked.
“During the discussion?” she asked.
“You are on the agenda,” Payne said. Because she was the only one who had requested to be on the agenda, no others were permitted to speak.
Under the Minnesota Open Meeting Law, citizens are allowed to attend meetings and listen to public bodies discuss issues. However, there is no right to speak for those who are not part of the official agenda.
Pictured: District 777’s Board of Education listened to parent Angela Nissen outline what she feels are the challenges facing Benson High School athletic programs at its meeting Monday night. She asked the school board to take action to ensure the persistent losing records of some teams is addressed. School Board Members are, from left, Bill McGeary, Chair Chad Payne, (Supt. Dennis Laumeyer,) Paul Carruth, Mary K.W. Langan, and Gary Williams. | 2019-04-23T16:50:26 | http://www.swiftcountymonitor.com/articles/2017/11/24/school-board-asked-address-athletic-team-performance |

The site is located on the hill that surrounds Silveira Beach, south of the city of Garopaba in Santa Catarina, Brazil.
The project demonstrates that, on a challenging site, it is possible to fulfil the focused requirements of a client, while providing a clear, readable design concept in relation to the landscape. This house turns the difficulty of a steep hill into a strength and central concept: it is an interpretation of a single storey house on a slope. Since the planning constraints allow only single story buildings in the area, we bent the floor to stay as close to the natural slope of the landscape as possible and minimize impact on the site.
The house comprises: a swimming pool, a panoramic terrace overlooking the ocean, an outside patio, 3 bedrooms and an open plan living room. The simple layout of the ground floor with full height sliding glass connecting the pool, the outside patio, the open kitchen and the living room merges all these elements into one space and blurs the line between inside and outside. The lower level contains bedrooms and associated bathrooms and a view into the pool from the internal corridor. The 2 levels are connected on each side of the house to create a continuous loop of movement and energy.
The roof of this sea-facing holiday house is used as a terrace to maximise its utilization and enlarge the view to the ocean. 3 sides of the house are glazed to provide views across the ocean and surrounding hills intensifying the experience of the site’s natural beauty. | 2019-04-21T02:26:30 | http://www.hofarchitects.com/portfolio/slope-house/ |

Today I've been seeing a lot of post on Facebook about the big storm back East. I'm slightly jealous of the fact that my East Coast buddies got a snow day. There is something nice about staying in, staying warm and hanging with the fam. However, I wouldn't trade my day. Today in Colorado the sun was out, the breeze was light, and it was time for some spring flowers.
Daffodils are my favorite spring flower but tulips have a charm all of their own.
That's all for now. I hope that where ever you are, whether there's snow or sun, I hope you've had a great day! | 2019-04-23T04:37:11 | https://www.thenshemade.com/2014/03/spring.html |
Memantine Canon (Memantin, Memantinum) - muscle relaxant central action.
Adamantane derivatives, the chemical structure and pharmacological properties similar to amantadine. Memantine blocks the NMDA glutamate-receptors (including those in the substantia nigra), thereby reducing the excessive stimulating effect on cortical neurons glutamatngh neostratum that develops against the backdrop of insufficient vydeleniyadofamina. At the moment, there is no reliable evidence base showing the drug's ability to slow or prevent the progressive course of the disease of Alzheimer's.
It enhances the effect of barbiturates, antipsychotics, levodopa, dopamine agonists receptors, anticholinergic agents, amantadine. It may change the effect of dantrolene and baclofen.
Individual hypersensitivity to the drug, pronounced renal dysfunction, pregnancy, breastfeeding.
Be wary appoint patients with thyrotoxicosis, epilepsy.
In patients with Alzheimer's disease at the stage of moderate to severe dementia usually impair the ability to drive vehicles and management of complex mechanisms.
Memantine may cause a change in the reaction rate, so patients receiving treatment on an outpatient basis, you should be particularly careful when driving or operating machinery.
Memantine Canon Inside, during a meal. Dosage is determined individually. Initiate therapy with the recommended destination minimally effective doses. | 2019-04-26T16:24:13 | https://drdoping.net/shop/memantine-canon/ |

Seems like I haven't been updating this year as much as I planned on doing. Work continues to drag, and light at the end of the tunnel continues to tease; ONE day, I'm going to be making 3D assets again!
I've updated my "professional work" section with some new CryEngine in-game renders. I think these shots show off the weapons a little bit better, especially since I used multiple lights to really pop off the details and normals.
Despite not doing a lot of 3D for the past few months at work, I've picked up some other skills that may come in handy some day: making 2D line-art diagrams (I've made a ton now) and a HEFTY, HEFTY, HEFTY (tm) dose of technical writing. I'm essentially a Test Engineer in the making at the moment. Does an artist need those skills in today's world? Ehh, I'll wait and see, haha.
Other than work, I've been revamping the design of the HARPI unit (yes, again). I think this time it's really paid off though. I've slowly found out what my problem was with concept design: First, I had figured, "OK, blank slate? Let's nail this silhouette." So I clobbered the silhouette until it finally made me happy, but then I realized..."Alright...now I have to work in some details...not to mention, how does this stuff operate? Function? Move? Does it even look cool in 3D?"
I had jumped the gun on modeling a lot of the parts, and therefore, I found myself further tweaking and concepting in 3DS Max...for almost way too long. Time was seriously just wasting away as I was pushing and pulling vert's and edges to try and "Nail the Silhouette" again, but even if I had succeeded, the details were still missing!
The solution? Concept in 2D, but with a 3D mind. If I focus too hard on making the 2D image look cool, I lose out on understanding the third dimension of the subject. It's a new mentality that I've added to my process, and I have to say it's definitely helped with making better design choices.
Add to that the painting process I discussed in my last update (using the tones of the image to build form, instead of black and white) and I think my 2d design skills have gone through the roof compared to last year. It definitely excites me knowing I've got a stronger foundation to work with. | 2019-04-24T11:47:21 | http://mbakermanart.weebly.com/news/spring-update |
Larval and pupal surveys of 439 natural and 2,455 domestic containers (total of 2,894 containers) were undertaken in four villages in American Samoa during the wet and dry seasons. For the first time, larvae and pupae of Ae. oceanicus were found in a variety of domestic containers (including buckets, plastic and polystyrene containers, cans, and tires) in addition to their traditionally reported habitats of plant leaf axils. Finding Ae. oceanicus in artificial containers in three villages during both the wet and dry seasons suggests that Ae. oceanicus is adapting to use these increasingly abundant water sources for breeding sites. The larger water volumes held by such containers could ensure the survival of this species during prolonged dry weather periods. | 2019-04-19T08:22:32 | https://bioone.org/journals/Journal-of-Medical-Entomology/volume-45/issue-4/0022-2585(2008)45%5B758:UODANC%5D2.0.CO;2/Utilization-of-Domestic-and-Natural-Containers-by-iAedes-oceanicus-i/10.1603/0022-2585(2008)45%5B758:UODANC%5D2.0.CO;2.short |
During the last few weeks, the name Benetton popped up a lot in the Italian news. Unfortunately for the family, though, it wasn't linked to the success of their apparel venture, but to the Genoa Morandi Bridge tragedy.
Since 1999 the Benetton family controls Autostrade, Europe's largest toll road operator, via Atlantia SpA and Autostrade is at the moment at the centre of a diatribe about road safety all over Italy and in Genoa in particular. In the aftermath of the bridge collapse the Italian government also announced its intention of stripping Autostrade of its concession.
After the bridge collapse in Genoa there have been quite a few articles about the Benetton company highlighting how the family now mainly makes money from ventures that do not have anything to do with fashion. Indeed in the last few years the family started diversifying, looking for more profitable business opportunities, from Autostrade to Autogrill, the highway rest stops and airport restaurants chains.
Both Autostrade and Autogrill had a positive financial year in 2017, while the apparel sector of the company shows no revenue or profit growth, but a record loss of EUR 181 million. The causes of this deterioration are clear and you don't need a financial expert to tell you that competition from high street retailers have contributed to turn Benetton from the epitome of affordable Made in Italy fashion to a crumbling company.
This story makes you think a lot, though: the Benetton brand offers a wide range of products – from clothes to accessories for men, women and children – and it has shops all over the world, yet it is in a constant crisis and its losses are clearly proved by papers and financial reports. So if a powerful family such as Benetton turned to other sectors to survive, how can we believe that other ventures with less experience and with infinitely smaller infrastructures and resources than Benetton can be fashion behemoths?
Take the story of Chiara Ferragni, Italian influncer extraordinaire. The Instagram celebrity is getting married today in Noto, Sicily, to Italian rapper Fedez (who also appears on TV as one of the judges on the Italian version of X Factor), in an extravagant ceremony that is raising a few dilemmas.
The couple mounted a Coachella-themed amusement park complete with Ferris wheel in the centre of Noto and invited a long list of guests comprising fellow influencers and celebrities à la Paris Hilton. Ferragni claimed the dress for last night's party was "supplied by Prada" (you mean it was a gift or you bought it from a boutique?) while her wedding dress by Dior was designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri who will also be among the guests attending the ceremony (bizarre, but from evidence posted on Instagram some of the guests are also sporting what looks like Dior saddle bags – is this the second part of the Saddle Bag-Gate or is it just a coincidence?).
The couple also enraged the Codacons grouping of Italian consumer associations as Fedez and guests flying from Linate airport in Milan via Alitalia were welcomed by customised screens at the gate and special tickets issued by Alitalia with the Ferragnez (Ferragni-Fedez) logo. The Italian Air Company shouldn't be allowed to do it since it isn't a private jet charter service, but Alitalia issued a statement explaining the screens and the tickets were the result of a "commercial agreement" with the couple.
Ferragni and Fedez's accounts on Instagram boast 14 million and 6.2 million fans, which makes them proper social media celebrities. Yet the more you stare at all this display of pseudo-wealth, the more you wonder if this is all for real.
Ferragni first started taking pics of herself modelling different outfits with the help of her then boyfriend Riccardo Pozzoli, one thing led to the other, and soon the images were collected in a blog (The Blonde Salad) that helped them winning some of the first collaborations with different brands (including Benetton that a while back invited the blogger to be a member of their judging panel in an advertising campaign competition).
Ferragni and Pozzoli then started a company in 2011, TBS Crew srl, followed a year later by Serendipity srl. More collaborations followed with Ferragni receiving fees (calculated in 2014 between $30,000 and $50,000) to take parts in various events.
Paolo Barletta, CEO of the Barletta group invested 500,000 EUR in Ferragni's accessories collection (shoes are produced by Mofra, a company based in Puglia owned by the Morgese family). As the years passed the blog became a platform on which fans can also buy her own collections or other brand's, so while TBS remained focused on the blog, Serendipity concentrated on e-commerce.
In April 2018 Ferragni's brand, the only one owned by Serendipity, was valued at EUR 36,2 million by a financial advisor commissioned by Paolo Barletta himself. It should be highlighted that the Barletta group owns 40% of Serendipity, Ferragni 32,5%, Riccardo Pozzoli and Mofra Shoes, 13,75%. The financial advisor based his report on a market-based brand valuation method consisting in multiplying the brand's turnover by a multiple derived from similar transactions and based the calculations on projections for the years 2018-2021.
Now the problem with this valuation method is that the value seems extremely inflated especially when you consider that Serendipity's revenue for the 2017 financial year was EUR 1,4 million, but the profit only hit EUR 4,900.
Ferragni is also a majority shareholder of Tbs Crew that actually grew thanks to the ecommerce sales. Yet, despite its growth, Tbs' revenute was EUR 3,2 millions, and the company registered a profit of EUR 6,000 (debts amounted to EUR 983,000 in December 2017). In a nutshell the company seems to have a low profitability.
According to some reports on the Internet, sales from the Chiara Ferragni Collection generated around EUR 20 million, but this can't be verified. So, while Ferragni and Fedez may be celebrities for their appearance on adverts, TV programmes and other assorted events, the story of the blog turned successful business venture may be only partially true.
After all, if a major brand like Benetton that produces millions of garments a year is in a crisis because of the competition, it sounds more or less impossible for an inconsistent brand like Ferragni's that mainly produces derivative collections to flourish. Millennials love it? Well, maybe, but if it were so the streets would be flooded with her clothes and with copies of her "Blonde Salad" shirts and that's not happening.
Another tangible proof that we may be in front of something financially unclear is the fact that the couple asked their guests and friends not to give them any gifts, but to make a donation on the gofundme.com/the-dream-chiaraampfederico site hoping to reach EUR 50,000 Euro and donate the money to "followers in need" (yes, I know, don't laugh...), but so far they have reached around EUR 20,000 Euros (including Fedez's parents' gift), something that makes you wonder if the guests are just a bunch of cheapskates or if the couple hasn't even got all the support it claims to have (you would imagine that fame and celebrity would guarantee big donations in a relatively short time).
In a way these contradictions could be easily explained by dividing the revenue of such modern Insta-celebrities into social media revenue (that eventually generated an income) and real financial profits. Ferragni may be a hit when it comes to the former, something that has guaranteed her to appear in adverts for different products, from underwear to shampoo, and has therefore generated an income for the blogger-turned-Instagram celebrity, but, for what regards real financial profits generated from the actual manufacture and sale of a proper product, well, the turnover is more or less inconsistent (otherwise the Benetton family would call her to restore the fortunes of their brand...). The dichotomy between the extremely curated portrait of her life and everyday activities and the actual profit of her company generates discrepancies that may reveal her role of entrepreneur is restricted to successfully selling her own image and not real products. It would be interesting to see if there are tangible assets in the company's name (industrial machines? real estate assets?) or in Ferragni's name (mind you, there may be also a grey area regarding companies in the USA Ferragni may be involved in as she spends time in Los Angels as well...).
In a nutshell, this entrepreneurial story of love and money (more money than love judging by the pics posted on Instagram as the couple seems extremely keen on branding everything from their plane tickets to their son's little shoes...) and surprisingly little talent (Ferragni's frivolous blog and Fedez's superficial songs are shallow products for Insta-consumers, and they aren't certainly the last bastions of culture for a disenfranchised generation) may just be a glorious advertising campaign shrouded in pink candy cotton, at least until the Italian tax police starts investigating real financial reports and bursts the bubble. But that will be another story and we'll recount it when it happens. | 2019-04-21T19:08:04 | https://irenebrination.typepad.com/irenebrination_notes_on_a/2018/09/benetton-other-stories.html |

1.1 This practice provides a means to determine an allowable tensile load (ATL) value for a polyethylene gas pipe that is to be installed underground using methods that pull the pipe into a trench (cut or plowed), bore hole, casing pipe, or the like.
1.2 The ATL is used to set the break-away strength for a "weak-link" device, or as a limit setting for other devices that control the maximum pulling force exerted by equipment used to pull polyethylene gas pipe into an underground location. A weak-link device is installed where the pipe pulling equipment is connected to the polyethylene gas pipe. If pulling load exceeds the ATL limit, the device de-couples the pipe from the pulling equipment. Other measures or equipment that limit the pulling force on the pipe are also used.
1.3 This practice does not address weak-link device design or requirements, nor does it address the design or requirements for other equipment or procedures used to limit the pulling force applied to polyethylene gas pipe during pull-in installation.
1.4 This practice does not address installation methods or procedures employed for pull-in of polyethylene gas pipe.
1.5 Throughout this practice, inch-pound units shall be regarded as standard with SI units in parentheses for informational purposes.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. | 2019-04-19T16:43:20 | https://standards.globalspec.com/std/415061/astm-f1804 |

In the wake of the announcement of a $1 billion sanctions program targeting North Korea’s coal, lead and iron exports, Beijing is staging almost a dozen military exercises in the Yellow Sea.
The navy drills surely send a signal that the Chinese “will be effective in any conflict if war is to break out,” Malcolm Davis of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute told the South China Morning Post.
However the message isn’t intended for Pyongyang alone, Collin Koh of Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University says. “States do this because they want to send a signal … it’s not just targeted at North Korea,” Koh said.
China’s naval strength is increasing significantly. Last week, the Chinese added yet another monster ship to their fleet, which the Royal United Service Institute’s Peter Roberts has described as growing at a pace that seems to be unequalled "in any navy across history."
The drills will include live-fire testing, offensive and defensive mobilization rehearsals, and the integration of efforts by surface vessels, submarines and aircraft. “Dozens of types of missiles” will also be launched during more than 10 tests, SCMP noted.
The People’s Liberation Army Navy’s Shen Jinlong and other top Chinese military officials will oversee the four-day battle simulations, state media reported. It’s unclear when the exercises will start. | 2019-04-26T15:42:53 | https://sputniknews.com/asia/201708081056270917-beijing-ready-battle-korean-peninsula/ |
Black Tom Cassidy, in all his, uh, glory?
Correction: Monday, one of the writers of Deadpool 2, Rhett Reese, took to Twitter to simply say these rumors are “Untrue.” He didn’t elaborate beyond that.
According to rumors currently gently rocking the sleepy, sleepy crib of the internet, the upcoming Deadpool 2 might have one less villain than we thought.
Now, according to rumors via The Tracking Board’s Jeff Sneider, Kesy might not be a presence in the movie any longer. Speaking on a podcast, he commented that he had heard from an anonymous source that Kesy was no longer in the film. And while anonymous sources on films are not the most reliable in the world, this rumor tracks. We haven’t seen anything of Kesy’s villain in the promo materials, and info that suggests that the film’s recent reshoots were largely to recenter the film in the opposition between Deadpool and Cable (along with some more of Zazie Beetz’s Domino), presumably before they become best friends at the end.
Oh, well. Maybe there will be room for Black Tom Cassidy in the MCU. He could fight Hawkeye, I guess. Give them both something to do.
Deadpool 2 is in theaters May 18th. | 2019-04-20T20:27:42 | https://io9.gizmodo.com/rumor-has-it-deadpool-2-might-be-short-one-villain-1825070359 |
Finding a career after graduating college can be a daunting prospect for many students, but it can be especially challenging for students with disabilities. These students face challenges associated with a lack of career counseling, discriminatory hiring practices, a fear of disclosing disabilities during the application or interviewing process for a job, and inadequate education regarding disability rights. As a result, recent graduates are approximately 40 percent less likely to find employment after graduation than those without disabilities, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
However, there are a variety of resources available to students with disabilities, and with guidance, finding the route to a successful career can become much more attainable. Career counselors, work-based learning opportunities, internships, job search workshops, and resources for understanding their individual rights can empower students with disabilities to set off on a start to fulfilling, successful careers.
This Career guide for college students with disabilities from Maryville University Online offers great advice and resources to help you on your way! | 2019-04-19T11:17:49 | https://network.crcna.org/disability-concerns/career-guide-college-students-disabilities |

There are a lot of species around the world that are nearing extinction with each passing day. While the Dodo and the Great Auk have already become extinct, the Javan Rhinoceros and the Vaquita are close to becoming extinct any day. Various species of animals are dying out not because of the lack of adaptability but mainly because of pollution and human activities. While hunting and poaching have aggravated the process of endangering a specie or species, deforestation and clearing away of forest lands for new settlements have also added fuel to the fire. Natural and geographical processes have also contributed in this process of extinction but in the past. Currently, the human activities and pollution are the ones causing the most harm to these delicate species which are almost on the verge of dying out.
The sad part about this entire scenario is that we do know some of the species that have become extinct, but hardly any of the common man knows which animals are currently facing the danger of extinction! Just as it is the responsibility of the people and organizations to take care of these endangered species, it is also our duty to make sure that we know which animals we need to protect. Did you know that India itself houses at least 5 different species that are currently facing the danger of becoming extinct?
When Gharials run into danger: Every Indian native has heard this name at least once in their lives. Known for its fierce appearance, this crocodile, however, only eats fish! They are mainly found in the Chambal River. Currently, it is believed that are only about 235 of these fascinating creatures that still prowl the waters of the earth, mostly in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. For the last 70 years, their numbers have been going down rapidly, and now it faces extinction any moment. Their living habitat has been compromised with; they have been getting caught in fishing nets and their food, fishes, have also gone down in number because of pollution and human activities. Thus, they are battling to survive every day, but the conditions are such that their chances look really bleak.
Flying squirrels will probably fly no more: Found in the northeastern parts of India, this very intriguing arboreal animal today stands in the face of extinction. They belong to the species group Biswamoyopterus and its scientific name is Biswamoyopterus biswasi. There is a range called the Patkai range on whose western slope lies the Namdapha National Park. There is a particular kind of tall jungles that exist here known as the Mesua ferrea. In this jungle is found the Namdapha Flying Squirrel. Little to nothing is known about this very interesting creation. There is no population count available for these squirrels. In India, there are 4 biodiversity spots of which one lies in the Eastern Himalayas. The flying squirrel belongs to this biodiversity spot. It was back in 1981 when it was declared that this animal is “critically endangered.” Till then, these animals have been spotted but very rarely. Their natural habitat has been destroyed, even though prohibited poaching often takes place within the park areas, and hence, the Namdapha Flying Squirrel just might not let alone fly, see the face of this earth anymore!
Loss of habitat means the end for Dattatreya Night Frog: The Western Ghats are a huge area to be covered. Karnataka falls within this geographical division of India. In Karnataka, there is a district called Chikamagalur, which houses an area called Dattatreya Petta where a forest of Shola trees are found. It is this region has shown the presence of the Dattatreya Night Frog, whose scientific name is Nyctibatrachus dattatreyaensis. Though these species have been inhibiting this area for what may be a really long time now, it was only back in 2008 that its existence came to our notice. However, only another eight years later, it stands in the face of extinction. There are three reasons, which can be cited as the cause for its extinction- first and foremost the forest regions abound in medicinal herbs, which are constantly uprooted for their medicinal properties. There are a lot of tourists piling about in this area thanks to ecotourism being conducted in these parts, and last but not the least, the waters of the Manikyadhara Falls happen to be endangered. All of these factors have resulted in critically endangering the Dattatreya Night Frog.
And the Great Indian Bustard slowly disappears…: In the desert regions of Rajasthan there was, once a huge number of birds of what is today known as the Great Indian Bustard. This bird looks much like an ostrich and happens to be one of the heaviest in the world that can fly. The natural habitat suited for a blackbuck was often found to be same for this bird. However, after increased irrigation in the area, poaching for its meat and other deplorable human activities, this bird today has been reduced to only 250 in number, according to a survey done in 2011. It is already enlisted as critically endangered, but if nothing effective is done, they will die out really fast.
No more swimming for the Wayanad Mahseer: This is a critically endangered species of fish which is found mainly in Kerala, South India. The Wayanad region of this state shows the presence of this species and hence the name. Their number have gone down drastically mainly because of fishing and the illegal hunting that goes on around in these areas. According to a 2003 survey, it still remains a critically endangered species.
Thus, we can clearly see that human activities have caused much harm to some of the most precious animals that this subcontinent has seen. Though they may not be known well internationally and thus have a little fame, there isn’t much scope for them to claim their right for life as well! We can only hope and pray that the reservation schemes that are in place now can help in saving these rare but precious species. | 2019-04-20T00:13:34 | http://www.indiatravelblog.net/little-to-fame-little-to-claim-5-threatened-but-lesser-known-species-that-can-be-spotted-only-in-india/ |

A recent investigation in the District of Kansas discussed in a lengthy district court order reveals a Corrections Corporation of America facility has been recording attorney-client calls and video recording attorney-client meetings it’s not supposed to be recording.
On the one hand, the order shows there are potential procedures which could be instituted to exempt attorney-client phone calls from recording, so it suggests such systems might be feasible at other institutions where they don’t exist.
On the other hand, the order shows we need to be vigilant about making sure institutions respect such protections and watch for recording – like the video recording of attorney-client meetings at this institution – that may be going on that we don’t know about.
Three years ago, I put up a post about the issue of jail authorities reading attorney-client e-mail, some thoughts on how to try to prevent that, and one successful effort in a New York case. (See “Do They Get to Read Your Attorney-Client E-Mail Just Because They Say They’re Going To? What if You Tell Them in the E-Mail They Can’t? Or Get a Court to Tell Them?” in the July 2014 link at the right.) An e-mail came across my computer a few months ago about some litigation and a district-court ordered investigation in Kansas that’s exposed recording of attorney-client phone calls and even recording of in-person meetings – though the latter appears to be just video – at a Corrections Corporation of America facility in Kansas, which may suggest issues at other Corrections Corporation of America facilities. I’m attaching a copy of a lengthy court order, here, detailing the problems, as well as an apparent government attempt to cover it up (or at least, in the court’s words, “lack of transparency”), but thought I’d summarize a few things in the order that you might use and/or watch for at the institutions in your area.
One thing the investigation discussed in the order revealed is that a system whereby attorneys can submit their phone numbers to be kept in a “private” list of numbers for which calls aren’t recorded doesn’t work for a number of reasons. First, the recording system still recorded calls placed to those numbers, either all or some of the time. Second, the ability for an attorney to request that his or her number be placed on this “private” list was so poorly publicized that many inmates and even many attorneys didn’t even know about it. This suggests two things you might consider: first, check on whether there’s such an option at your jail, and, second, suggest it be created if it doesn’t already exist. If the Corrections Corporation of American and its contractor can run – or at least try to run – a system like this, why can’t your jail? And make sure your jail keeps the promise not to record.
Second, the order questions the effectiveness of warnings to inmates that their calls are otherwise monitored and a government argument that this constitutes consent to the monitoring and a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. The order questions whether information about how to obtain unmonitored calls which is provided in a 30-page inmate handbook is sufficient to make the inmates aware of the procedure for such calls, noting, “It is not surprising that someone newly detained, someone lacking the legal education to fully understand their rights, and someone who is absorbing a volume of information all at once, might not remember to convey to their attorney, the need for the attorney to initiate the phone call procedure.” (Page 18 of the order.) As for signs placed next to the phones, the order notes they warn all calls will be recorded, but then say nothing about the procedure for obtaining an unmonitored call. As for a recorded warning during the call, the order notes it’s unclear whether the warning is played for all calls, even those on the “private” list that aren’t supposed to be recorded and the potential confusion that creates. Finally, the order notes that only the inmate’s attorney can put his or her number on the “private” list, and the institution doesn’t communicate the procedure to inmates’ attorneys. The order does note a new procedure in a footnote where the inmate is given an “Attorney Verification Form” on which he can list his attorneys’ names and telephone numbers which will then be placed on the “private” list. (See footnote 33 at page 19 of the order.) The order questions whether this has in fact superseded the procedures set forth in the inmate handbook, but it does suggest a potential procedure you might argue for at your jail.
In viewing [a sample recording it reviewed in camera], the Court could easily observe non-verbal communications, including the communicants’ use of their hands, fingers, and other body language. Communication, needless to say, can be verbal and non-verbal; and non-verbal communication is at times highly communicative and easily subject to understanding through observation.
(Page 24 of the order.) The order then goes on to give a number of examples and concludes “these examples illustrate that confidential non-verbal communications between an inmate and the defense team must be protected just as much as verbal communications.” You might want to find out if your jail has such video and make sure it either doesn’t get made of the attorney-client interview rooms, gets made in such a way that non-verbal communication can’t be seen, or doesn’t get viewed unless there’s an incident.
In any event, this is a very interesting order to read and might provide some ideas for either procedures you might want to try to get at your jail or things to watch for at your jail. I offer it for whatever you might do with it. | 2019-04-19T11:16:44 | http://www.kmbllaw.com/more-issues-about-recording-attorney-client-communications/ |

The Champions League draw will take place at 5pm BST on 25 August, Thursday.
You can follow the draw live here.
The play-off round of the Champions League has been completed and we now have 32 teams confirmed, who will go into the pot for the group stage draw on 25 August, Thursday.
Manchester City became the fourth team to qualify for the group stages of the 2016/17 Champions League. Pep Guardiola's side sealed a berth following their 6-0 victory over Romania's Steaua Bucharest.
They will join Premier League winners Leicester City, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal and the Gunners' arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in this campaign of Europe's elite club competition. Manchester United will feature in the Europa League, while Chelsea and Liverpool have missed out on this season's European football.
Leicester will be seeded in Pot 1, along with the Champions League winners Real Madrid, La Liga champions Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Benfica and CSKA Moscow.
No team can play against a team from their same association, meaning Leicester will not be in the same group with City, Arsenal or Tottenham. In addition to this, teams from Ukraine and Russia can be drawn in the same group. There will be four pots and each pot will have eight teams.
The draw will start at 5pm BST. BT Sport 2 and BT Sport 2 HD will provide the live coverage in the United Kingdom. Uefa's official website will live stream the draw for mobile and computer users. | 2019-04-20T16:11:16 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/uefa-champions-league-2016-17-draw-how-watch-tv-online-date-time-pots-preview-1577964 |

Interesting post here from Brad Stone. I was breifly quoted in the article.
One thing worth saying --- that one.org deal could have made Tribe.net a serious player. Pincus brought the deal to the table as he met Bono's crew at the Ted conference in 2004. Unfortuantely the board couldn't get its head around doing the whole white label play. It was a mistake and one of the reasons that I was eventually out of the company.
Last month we blew throw the 200 API mark to now be at 231 APIs. Many additions in several categories. The one that really put us over the top is a new set of APIs in the finance area.
We are currently at 191 APIs listed in on WSFinder. Just a few more and we will be at 200.
Its been a while since I have written here. I have been quite busy getting Aggregate Knowledge off the ground. Thank you to all of your who have helped keep our Wiki clean. We certainly get our share of spam and attacks.
WSFinder had quite a few new additions during the month of March. We are now up to 164 APIs. Its nice to see that the community is essentially self-promoting with little help from me or Chris Law.
Let me know if there are ideas you have for WSFinder that could make it better.
We have now formally launched our new company Aggregate Knowledge. We gave a talk on some of the details of how best to use our Recommendations Web Service at the E-Tech Conference in San Diego. I will be posted the slides here and/or at www.aggregateknowledge.com in the next few days.
San Diego, California, March 7, 2006. Aggregate Knowledge Inc., a provider of behavior-based product, service, and content recommendation services, today launched the company and announced its first two product offerings. The Aggregate Knowledge Recommendation Engine and the Aggregate Knowledge Dashboard are now available. These offerings provide relevant products, services, and content to customers in real-time.
AKRE(tm) provides real-time, behavior-based recommendations to retail and media websites. These highly relevant recommendations are for the items most likely to be viewed or purchased by a customer. Sites that provide high quality recommendations to customers have increased page views per visit, improved sales conversion rates, and larger revenue per order. AKRE is deployed as an easy-to-integrate web service that can be added to a portal in hours, not weeks or months.
"Aggregate Knowledge provides powerful 'related' recommendations functionality that was quick and easy for us to implement," said Ethan Stock, CEO of Zvents, an events web search portal and web service. "The recommendations box powered by Aggregate Knowledge gives users of our site relevant event options, based on the behavior of prior visitors. Search plus recommendations is a powerful combination."
"This product identifies up-sell and cross-sell opportunities for web retailers in real-time," said Josh Kopelman, managing director of First Round Capital and founder of Half.com. "User view and buy behavior can change quickly based on outside influences like a news story or a product review. Since this system is real-time and works across product and media categories, web merchants have access to this data immediately."
AKRE enables automated merchandising across a broad range of categories that have previously not been connected. For example, AKRE identifies cross-selling opportunities such as "people who read this news story, bought tickets to this event."
The Aggregate Knowledge Dashboard provides an end user with an easy-to-use console for managing news, media, email, products, and services. Since Dashboard is tightly integrated with the Aggregate Knowledge Recommendation Engine, discovery of new items of interest is threaded throughout the user experience.
"Dashboard is a great place for a user to start the day and find interesting, fresh, and relevant content," said Paul Martino, CEO of Aggregate Knowledge. "Dashboard is available to retail and media companies as a white label service and is branded by the company providing the service to the end user. Dashboard drives repeat usage and brand exposure by providing a truly valuable service to the end user."
Aggregate Knowledge delivers relevance and enables discovery of products, services, and content through its real-time recommendation engine (AKRE). By leveraging the wisdom of crowds, Aggregate Knowledge provides high-quality recommendations to retail and media portals on a white-label basis. Through its Recommendation Engine and Dashboard products, Aggregate Knowledge provides up-sell and cross-sell opportunities while driving brand awareness and repeat usage.

We had a good time at mashup. For me the highlight was a pow-wow of WSFinder, Programmable Web, and StrikeIron trying to figure out how to replace UDDI/WSDL with something simple and easy.
We kept saying, "lets keep this at the Yahoo directory level of complexity". Our proposal is a really simple "API RSS" that has 5 or 6 fields in it. This is about discovery and brief description, not implementation etc. This is just so a developer knows how and where to look for a list of APIs to mashup.
Check out this from Chris Law, the other half of WSFinder.
Its been a while since I have posted. The new API keep flowing in though. New stuff in Payment processing, always more stuff in maps, and some new additions in other categories as well. We are near 150 APIs and many have been user added. That is the whole point of this being a wiki!
The reason that commentary from the blog is a bit infrequent is that Chris Law and I are just about ready to launch our new company: Aggregate Knowledge. We are sponsors for both the eTail conference next week in Palm Springs and the eTech conference the first week of March in San Diego.
We will formally be launching the company at that conference. We will keep you posted.
Yahoo has released version 3.0 of its Widget Engine, based on the cool Konfabulator original technology. Here are some of the desktop widgets available (more info at http://widgets.yahoo.com).
Yahoo! Notepad Widget – allows users to create, edit and delete notes, acting as a sticky pad for your desktop, and is synched to Yahoo! Notepad online so that no matter where users are, they can easily get to their notes and to-dos.
Get more details at http://widgets.yahoo.com.
Fotolia is a new online marketplace of digital photos and illustrations where every image can be monetized. This community driven site allows aspiring photographers and amateurs alike to post and make money from their images while maintaining full copyrights. Alternatively, graphic designers and small businesses can obtain royalty free images for web or print use for free or purchase them for as low as $1.
Fotolia has a nice syndication model and easy to install remote search "APIs" that make access easy for anyone who wants to be an affiliate. Check it out at http://www.fotolia.com/affiliation/.
Sorry for not posting here in a while. Starting a company definitely cuts into the time that you can spend on blogging. I don't know how some of the really prolific folks do it!
In particular Yahoo has been on a tear and I know that there are a few more APIs that are going to be released soon (hopefully before the new year) so stay tuned.
Yahoo Traffic - Traffic Information from Yahoo!
Yahoo Local - Get access to location information and reviews about things in Yahoo's database.
John over at Programmable Web just put up a great little guide on how to make a mashup. Worth checking out if you're trying to play with this stuff and want to figure out what to do.
The following is a posting of the mail I recently sent to our friends announcing our new company (the parent of WSFinder.com).
We wanted to let you know that we have started a new company: Aggregate Knowledge (www.aggregateknowledge.com). Our goal is to deliver the best content to people based on the aggregate behavior of everyone who has gone before them. We think that the wisdom of crowds can help people get at the best of all the information that’s out there.. Our website doesn’t have much information yet, but will soon.
We are still very early in our company’s life cycle. Currently, we are closing a small “friends and family” round of funding and thank those of you who are participating. Our goal is to do an institutional round in the spring.
As many of you know, we previously launched WSFinder, a wiki-based directory of web services and APIs that people are using to create mash-ups. This was the starting point of our analysis of the web services landscape and marked the beginning of our goal to understand what was happening in the Web 2.0 world. The insights gained are driving much of the thinking behind Aggregate Knowledge.
WSRelater is the first web service that we are offering. It is an Amazon style “people who liked this, also liked that” engine that anyone can add to their website with a few hours of work. Since the engine is implemented as a web service, all sites that use the service can contribute to the aggregate knowledge database. We are pursuing direct applications of this technology with companies that are selling goods online and want to incorporate this functionality to their browsing experience.
The WSRelater service is in “Alpha” mode. We will move from Alpha mode once we have good feedback from a few experimenters about the service and move to more production ready hardware. The API for this service and its documentation are online at www.wsrelater.com. Please send us any feedback.
There are two things that we are asking our friends for assistance with in the short term.
1. If you know of a great sales / business development person that can help us knock on a few doors we’d love to meet them. Media and/or retail Biz Dev experience is really what we are looking for.
2. If you have a site and would like to participate in the alpha of the recommendation service please let us know!
We are targeting a January unveiling of our first consumer facing service. This new service will leverage the WSRelater engine to create a compelling user retention solution for media portals. You will hear more about this at the beginning of the year.
I met with Greg Isaacs last week to talk about the eBay Developers Program and I have to say that it was the first time that I have ever had an embargo put on something that I could blog about.
The big announcement is that eBay has made their APIs free. Obviously they're hoping to get more developers to use their web services. Techdirt and others are covering the story.
What's maybe not so obvious is that they were one of the best examples of someone who was actually making money from their APIs. It's almost a shame that could make more money by becoming free. I always viewed eBay as one of the shining examples of companies that made real dollars from their web services. Greg dashed my world view when I talked to him though.
One other really interesting thing to note is that eBay has been in the "Web 2.0" game of releasing their APIs for the last 5 years. The amount of listings volume and revenue is pretty staggering when you see the stats.
Question to ponder - Do you need to have an existing business model before you open up your APIs? The eBay example seems to point to yes.
Read on for highlights. Listen to the conversation here.
Greg - "Historically eBay charged for their APIs, eBay is announcing is that it will be removing all API fees for call volume and annual fees. We are planning on building on current momentum. By making the APIs free allow developers to continue to build really wonderful innovative applications."
Greg - "We never charged for the APIs for direct revenue, it was always about efficiency. When we got started making our APIs broadly available 5 years ago it was not a foregone conclusion about what value our developers would drive and what it meant for our infrastructure."
Greg - "We want to do two things by making the APIs free – number one to all of our developers who have been with us for a number of years say thank you and the second is around new developers, our motto is innovation without barriers. We want to remove as many barriers as possible. Let’s get rid of them and let developers do what they do best."
It's interesting that the API calls were originally all about efficiency to make sure that people were not abusing the system. I really thought that they might have a whole separate business around providing the webservices. Obviously the API revenue was smaller than the overall revenue that they could get by getting more listings onto their site.
How much in terms of revenue is coming through 3rd party developers?
Wow. That's a huge number. Think of how many listings there are on eBay and what 22% of those listings represents. One question I'll be curious about is how much that number grows once the APIs are free.
What does eBay do for developers?
Greg - "To make developers successful we have done a bunch of things. We give them a lot of marketing support - for example, a solutions directory solutions.ebay.com an online directory where eBay buyers and sellers can find tools, we also give them lots of technical support, online as well as live help. We also have a sandbox which is a replicated version of the eBay production environment which is available for eBay developers to test it before going live to site."
You can tell that eBay has a pretty mature program. They do a lot of useful things for their developers that others are moving to catch up and do.
What are some interesting things that others are doing with eBay's API and data?
Greg - "Terapeak takes eBay’s unstructured data and puts it in a structured format. If you want to sell iPod Nano’s, you can go to Terapeak’s system and get a wealth of information of historical transactions around average selling prices, conversion rates on iPod Nanos, look at what time of day to sell, what features like Bold to use."
Greg - "Mpire built a selling tool for eBay sellers, it allows you as a seller to manage your eBay inventory and get a snapshot of how you’re doing financially and allow you to manage your contacts."
I think that there is probably a tremendous amount of value locked inside of the transaction data that eBay has. Very cool stuff that Terapeak is doing. Mpire sounds like CRM/ERP meets eBay. It's amazing to me that there is this whole eBay economy that can use this.
Will there ever be a time when people don't go to eBay the website at all?
Greg - "A lot of our sellers today don’t even have to come to eBay to manage their business and we designed that intentionally. On the buy side today we have a whole host of applications that allow you to sell more efficiently whether you’re on the browser, telephone etc."
Greg - "Something I’m very excited to see is when you can search for an item and you can list an item on eBay without ever having to go to the website. My belief is that will increase the size of the marketplace and that’s a win win for everyone."
This is pretty amazing and even if they don't call it Web 2.0 at eBay they clearly get it. eBay could end up being an underlying commerce infrastructure layer for the whole web. What an amazingly powerful position to be in!
What is eBay's take on Web 2.0?
Greg - "For us it’s been less about buzz or hype and more about economic opportunity. We’ve always focused around how can we make developers successful and how can they actually make money. That doesn’t always go hand in hand with the latest fad or the latest buzz."
eBay does a terrific job of marrying a business model to the Web 2.0 concepts. In fact I think it's fair to say that they're a real pioneer at doing that.
Can I show both eBay and Amazon content on the same page?
Greg - "In our license agreement that is allowed and the one caveat is that with the listings from Amazon and eBay must be visually separate. The last thing you want is someone to click on an item thinking they’re going to eBay and go to some other site. Go to Fatlens and you will see concert tickets there not only on eBay but also on various other marketplaces that Fatlens does business with."
Again I'm amazed at the willingness that people are showing in putting their content and functionality up next to a competitors. I think that many companies have really gotten themselves out of the walled garden mentality now.
What should the others like Google and Yahoo do with their developers programs?
Greg - "I’m not going to give you all the information you like about what they should be doing because after all we’re going after the same developer mindshare."
This further reinforces to me that there is a real war on now for folks to get a hold of developers and get them creating things on platforms and getting them hooked there.
What’s coming up next for the eBay Developer’s Program?
An individual developer prize: $5000 + ability to present their application at the O’Reilly ETECH conference + flight and hotel.
An open source prize: Xboxes for the winners + ability to present their application at the O’Reilly ETECH conference + flight and hotel."
1:19 It seems like the Developers Program is a far stretch from Investment Banking.
2:21 What does it mean to be the Director of the Developers Program?
11:11 What do you wish people would build?
12:48 Do you ever forsee a world where users don’t have to go to eBay directly to buy or sell at all?
14:25 What’s about developers who might be worried about eBay saying hey that’s a good idea I’m going to go do that?
15:57 So you think it will be less of a Google/Yahoo model where you buy up companies?
16:45 Why doesn’t eBay get more buzz around Web 2.0 since it was a pioneer?
18:01 Are you comfortable with eBay data mixing with Amazon data or functionality?
19:56 What do you think about Google or Yahoo showing eBay items in search results?
20:59 What are Google and Yahoo doing right or wrong with their developer programs?
21:45 What else is coming down the pipe for eBay’s developers program?
I had been looking at the Web 2.0 world as a series of data silos, web services, and aggregators. I think that there is another way to look at is as well which is to examine which services stretch across all sites and gain network effect by doing so.
Mary - "you can pull data for reputation from Ebay.... but the thing about the difference between what Tim was talking about, maps, and Ebay's reputation information is that the mapping data makes sense when you pull it out of the system, whereas the reputation data, because Ebay is so skewed, it's such a bizarre social environment, everybody is under tremendous pressure to make this sort of, you know, A+++ best sale I've ever had, which, I mean, would only exist if the guy who was selling you the thing drove me the item from Kansas or something, otherwise it's just probably B+. [So]... the reputation information is perfect or it's terrible, and when you pull it out of that system ... it doesn't match up. It doesn't translate with other walled garden reputations."
I have to say that I disagree with Mary Hodder on this one. I think that it would be tremendously valuable to know what someone's eBay rating was in other contexts.
Let's say I'm on Craigslist - right now I have no trust mechansim. I'd much rather at least have the eBay one even though it might be imperfect. I also think that people will understand that when a rating is presented as an eBay rating that they will be able to contextualize what that really translates into.
The more the reputation system is used the stronger it gets. A reputation system is going to be very important in further enabling person to person transactions.
There's an interesting discussion going on around Web Service components. Are they Internet Connected Compenents as Scoble is calling them? Maybe Raw Potatoes as Ethan Stock and I have mused about? You know - the things you make mashups out of.
No matter what you name them they are changing the way that functionality is shared and distributed around the web. Why do a mapping component when Google will do it for you? Why write a music engine when Yahoo will do it for you? Entrepreneurs should be building on top of these to create great apps.
Zvents is a great example of this. Take a core idea like - we need to have a good way to find all the events that are out there and then layer functionality like Google Maps on top of it to make it better.
I had an interesting conversation today with Greg Isaacs over at eBay and he's got some cool examples of the eBay APIs being used with things like Google Maps functionality. They put out a call at their last developers conference for more functionality like this and it looks like their developers have delivered. He showed me some truly cool stuff when I talked to him. I'll be posting the interview next week.
The real question in my mind is - what are the components? What should they be? I created a wiki over at wsfinder to help answer that question. One thing that's fascinating is to see which areas have lots of APIs from different providers and which don't... but that's fodder for another post. | 2019-04-25T21:55:42 | https://wsfinder.typepad.com/ |
Today was a very quiet, relaxing day of rest at home. I woke up at 1pm and after my breakfast, I sat down on my comfortable sofa and watch tv from 2pm all the way till now, 1am. I seldom had the chance to get so much time to just relax at home, and it must have been years since I watched 11 hours of tv straight.
I was watching American Idol the marathon, and I started watching from the last 8 contestant. Their singing was all very good, and I could not tell them apart, other than the judges. It was always very emotional when it gets to the result show, where 1 will be voted out of the competition. I could not say I understood how they felt, because I had never been in such competition before, but I sure can feel for the person that gets voted out each week. As I watched, the number of contestant gets lesser, and each time the one voted out sang their final song, with the video of their journey behind, it gets more emotional.
I could imagine all the hard work that they put in for the contest and living out their dreams in the past year, after seeing all their interviews and videos, and the way they cried on stage. After watching all these, the point I want to bring across is: It is not easy to be the best, but first of all you must have dreams. Next week is the finale, and only 2 are left in the contest. They are really the best of their batch in America, defeating 100,000 over people who auditioned.
Being the winner in a country as big as the United States, will probably put one in at least the top 50 in the world. In a small country like Singapore, the probability is even less. I thought to myself, if we are to talk in terms of cheerleading, where will being the best in Singapore put us in the world standings? Maybe to be able to do all full ups, full around, liberty tick tocks, and pop overs will make the person the best in Singapore, but if you compare to the US, you probably are just 1 in hundreds.
In Singapore, where the competition in cheerleading is much less, for me being 2nd best is not enough, I have to be the BEST, to even have a chance to stand out internationally. This is the motivation and the drive to push me forward, to train harder, whatever others can do, I have to do it better, so as to truely become a *STAR* and an Idol.
It is not easy to be the best, but first of all you must have dreams, because they will come true.
When I first joined cheerleading 4 years ago, the first few cheerleading videos that I watched was the skills tapes of Wolf Pack from University of Louisville. I was so amazed by the stuff that they did and never in my mind I felt we can ever be like them or close to them.
Even though now we are still a long way to go to match them, at least we are a step or 2 closer. Now when I look at those videos again, the feeling is no longer unbelievable, or impossible, the feeling now is of respect and admiration. Some of the stuff that they did are already acomplished by us, and many not yet, but the belief that we can do it one day is there.
Over the past few days, we have seen Singapore's own 1st cupie pop over and 1st liberty tick tock. It is something that was only seen in overseas videos, it is a great milestone for the cheerleading scene of Singapore. I can finally say that we are about to move on to the next phase of our cheerleading life. We are undergoing the phase change now, where each day will see a new improvment or new break though. The foundations were laid and its now time to build on it. Lets Go!
P.S: Practice with spotters all the time before mastery. A new episode will be released on the 5th of each month.
X-Skills Intermediate lists the Intermediate Partner Stunting skills for cheerleaders who passed the Basic Course. The skills in this booklet introduces some new stunts and simple transitions. Transition skills help to link up between stunts and add flow to a partner stunt routine. At this stage, cheerleaders are more aware of themselves. Therefore it is not that crucial to have a passing score, before one can proceed to Advance skills.
However it is still advisible to still use this as a reference before moving on to Advance skills. This Intermediate course aims to instill creativity in partner stunting. Do not limit yourself to the scope of this course, try coming up with new stunts yourself.
For questions and live demonstration, kindly approach X-Wonder during training times.
X-Skills Basic lists the Basic Partner Stunting skills for beginner cheerleaders. The time required to master these skills varies with individual, but on the average it should take about a year to master them. These skills are very important as they formed the foundation for Intermediate and Advance skills.
The passing score is to master 90% of the featured skills in this booklet and it is important to follow the progression. Do not move on to doing Intermediate or Advance skills before passing the Basic course, as it is not safe and might result in injuries to you and your partner.

Americans have just celebrated Independence Day (4th of July). If you’re not familiar with the concept of Independence Day, it’s a Stateside celebration of the day that Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum fought off an alien invasion that had momentarily threatened to wipeout all life on earth.
To celebrate this historically-significant occasion, Americans like to fill up the sky with colourful fireworks. Fireworks which, of course, have various quantities of gunpowder in them. Now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist, a scientist, or even just an inanimate rock to know that any activity involving gunpowder has the potential to be quite dangerous.
Some people, however, never seem to learn. And so, with that in mind, let’s take a look at this cautionary-firework footage from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
We’d like to tell you that no mannequins were hurt in the making of this, but that would be a massive lie. The highlights package you can see below was put together by Gizmodo. If you’d like to watch the official safety video, you can do so by clicking on the hyperlink.
While we’re on the subject of dangerous explosives, check out this ridiculous video of some dudes lighting a mortar in their garage. As you’d expect, from that briefest of descriptions, this video kicks off worse than an International Buckaroo Convention.
If you’re averse to loud noises, or people acting like silly sausages, you’re probably best off looking elsewhere for your entertainment because this clip contains both. | 2019-04-25T20:28:05 | https://mpora.com/outsiders/u-s-authorities-just-made-the-most-hilariously-creepy-firework-safety-video-of-all-time |

Let me be the one to say it – building a website footer is one of those “by the way” kind of tasks for many designers. It seems easy. It seems negligible. It seems like it can be left to chance. And there is some strong reasoning behind such a point of view.
For once, footers are seen by a much lower percentage of people than, say, the stuff above the fold. Also, they rarely do anything else other than repeat the info that can already be found elsewhere on the site. And finally, footer links have the lowest click through rates (CTR) of all links. So why bother?
Well, the fact about the low CTR may be true, but it doesn’t present the whole picture. The low CTR is mainly a result of the fact that few people see the footer in the first place.
So I have a theory of my own about this.
Although, apparently, there’s no study done on the topic (at least I wasn’t able to find it; feel free to chip in if you have some data), I believe that the CTR is actually quite high for footers if we only count the people who have scrolled all the way down on the page.
I did some quick number crunching with my CrazyEgg account to examine this more closely. When I compare the estimated number of people who see my footer (through the scroll map tool) and the total number of clicks my footer generates, I can see that between 14 percent and 20 percent of people end up clicking on something once they see the footer (depending on the page tested).
Of course, this is just a very simple test with a rather small heap of data, so it’s difficult to draw any reliable conclusions. Also, my footer is huge. It takes around 55-60 percent of the screen, so it’s hard to resist clicking on something. Anyway, even despite the shortcomings, the results are still very interesting.
And here’s what you can do to make your footer properly awesome.
Some people still try to inflate their rankings by using keyword links in the footer. And I know that doing so is hard to resist. It’s just too easy, and the links don’t even look out of place. But this really should be avoided in 2014. Mainly because it isn’t much of a challenge for Google to recognize the footer and give the links a low SEO value.
The whole practice is just so 2008 – or even worse.
Actually, it was 2008 when Rand Fishkin already talked about this being not effective.
There are always some elements that are more important than others, and you should reinforce this idea through alignment, scale, and placement within your footer.
For instance, if you go to Smart Passive Income, you’ll see that getting you to opt in is the most important goal for Pat – the owner. The footer for every page on the site starts with a big subscription box.
Then, additional links and disclosures follow.
Try adopting the same idea. Start with what’s important and then continue with everything else.
Speaking of opt-ins, these days, getting someone to opt in is one of the most popular website goals, and site owners are willing to do almost anything it takes to raise their conversion rates.
Hard to blame them for that, to be honest.
The footer is the last chance to get a conversion. And that’s regardless of what the conversion represents in your individual case. Take advantage of that chance, you owe it to your site’s main goal.
For example, here’s the footer at Codeinwp.com – a company providing PSD-to-WordPress services that I’m part of. The footer is huge and it has one main goal – to convince people to submit their designs and have them turned into a working WordPress theme.
White space is so underrated right now. Actually, it’s been underrated since ever. When in fact, there’s no other easier way to give your footer some additional emphasis and make the links pop more.
We don’t have to go far for examples – just scroll down to see the footer here at WDL.
If you’re designing a single author site/blog then it’s often a good idea to use the available space to present a nice “about the author” block.
Now, the goal here isn’t increasing the CTR. People rarely click on author blocks (at least in my tests), but it does introduce a personal touch and makes it clear who the author is no matter what page is viewed at the moment.
The reason why they’re essential is simple. Over the years, people have gotten used to seeing those pages in footers. It’s become a convention, and breaking it rarely pays off.
Will my audience expect to see this link in the footer?
Use default buttons. For example, to get a Facebook Like button, go to this section in the developers area. They tend to be effective because of their official nature – people are very familiar with them and know exactly what to do when they see one.
Your sub-footer is the part that comes after your main footer area. It’s most commonly used to display various legal links or other things that you don’t necessarily want people to click on, but they do regulate and disclose some of your operations.
Depending on the kind of business that the site you’re working on is in, displaying some additional social proof can work well for the site’s overall credibility.
These company logos are not clickable, plus the contrast is very low. But you don’t really need more. The logos are there to provide social proof, not to catch too much attention.
This is something that can work well on blogs and online publishing sites in general; not so much on business sites or product sites.
The main idea is that popular content is usually popular for a reason, so showcasing it in the footer can improve the readership numbers even further.
It’s a simple rule – it’s much easier to grow the popularity of something that’s already popular, than to build the popularity of something that’s not.
This goes back to the first item on this very list – treating your footer as an SEO dumpster.
Footers should be neither an SEO dumpster, nor a master navigation.
You really shouldn’t try cramping all the links you have in the footer. This will not have a good effect on your readers.
A lot better approach is to create a custom archives page and then link to it from the footer. That way, you still have a readable and clear footer, and if someone wants to find a specific resource, they can do so via the archives.
What’s wrong with your footer, my friend?
To be honest with you, when gathering the data for this post and then writing it, I found at least a handful of things wrong with the footers I use on my sites. So my question is simple: What’s wrong with your footer? And more importantly, what will you do to fix it?

Really nice article. A footer is a really important website feature and deserves more care and attention than it usually gets!
Really great points made here – especially regarding SEO. I like the suggestions made for things to include in a footer. I, personally, only use the footer to navigate on larger websites. It’s where I find a more effective site map via navigation links and contact information. And I get frustrated when I can’t find what I’m looking for in there as well.
That is right, but the situation isn’t that much applicable to smaller sites that don’t have hundreds of pages and individual categories. I’d say that most of the time we simply don’t need anything fancy.
We’ve found that visitors often head straight for the footer to pick up contact information – even missing the big phone number at the top right of the page. We noticed this when we began to get phone calls intended for one of our customers. On their site, our name and phone number were in tiny text at the very bottom! Further experimentation confirmed this on other sites.
Of course, somebody picking up the phone won’t improve your click through rates – but it’s much more important!
This is a very interesting insight. It turns out that people just expect to see this kind of info in the footer. So it’s in our best interest to put it there.
Out of all those, I liked the one from “leaving work behind”. Your right, the footer can often be overlooked and I think this article really brought to my attention that it derserves its own special attention. Great through provoking article. 5 stars!
Nice Tutorial, I think I should write a post about beautiful footers in web design as well.
A really great read, thanks for sharing. I got some great ideas that I certainly wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. Jus the perfect header, sidebar and content area to go!….
Very nice tutorial. I think I should also write a post on website footer. I will keep these all points in mind to create a beautiful and impressive website footer design.
These are some great ideas for a footer! I will definitely use them in the redesign of my website and client projects.
Good article. I was just working on a website today when I thought I should do something more than the same old scheme. I’ve seen some really nice ones before and some great examples here. I think I’ll start showing the footer a bit more respect!
A nice hack you can use is to work on the footer somewhere around the middle of the whole design process. If you leave the footer for the last minute then you will be naturally tempted to create the simplest thing possible and just be done with it. | 2019-04-21T15:04:32 | https://webdesignledger.com/how-to-build-an-awesome-website-footer/ |

Hello. Wondering how others handle this: do you calibrate your monitor listening levels for different delivery types? Example: if I cal my space to 79db @ -20dbfs with peak limit at -10dbfs, should I recalibrate when I'm working on a mix for dvd with higher peaks , say -3db?
Re-calibrate according to your intended average dialogue level, not the peaks.
Second column is the SPL, measured with a radio-shack meter, slow, C-weighted.
Third is the LUFS level that I feel comfortable about when working at the given calibration.
Please note that this is just my personal cheat-sheet, which may not be appropriate to the others - eg -27 LUFS may sound too loud to somebody at 81.66 dB SPL. Another example is that, contrary to what most people feel like, my mixes translate to the dub stage best when I'm at 85 in my home studio. | 2019-04-26T15:10:10 | https://www.gearslutz.com/board/post-production-forum/644508-room-cal-workflow-question.html |

In properly learning how to write an expository essay, you must develop a strong thesis that's supported by relevant facts and statistics, examples, or other pertinent information. An expository essay is a specific type of writing that involves providing the reader with information, explaining a topic, or defining a particular term.
Since an expository essay is meant to provide the reader with factual information, it should be written from a neutral point-of-view and without emotion. In addition, it should be written in the third person, which means the paper shouldn't contain the word "I" or sentences such as "In my opinion...."
Before you begin writing the expository essay, you must develop your ideas. This step of the writing process is usually referred to as "pre-writing." During the pre-writing stage, you'll brainstorm ideas for the document and you'll begin to put them in order.
If you haven't already developed an argument, you should be able to determine one after conducting the pre-writing activities. Although you'll have an idea of what the report will be about before you begin pre-writing, the pre-writing stage will help you develop your ideas further and to hone in on your actual thesis statement.
Your thesis statement is one sentence that summarizes what the entire expository essay will be about. Based off of your thesis statement, you'll need to gather information that helps to support your statement. This will involve conducting research in order to further develop the ideas you wrote about in the pre-writing stage.
In most cases, the thesis statement is included in the first paragraph of the expository paper. This first paragraph is called the "introduction" and is intended to grab the reader's attention and to provide the reader with the main idea.
Each of the subsequent paragraphs is used to support the topic sentence from the first paragraph. Each of these paragraphs must have a topic sentence, which is a sentence telling the main idea of that paragraph, and the topic sentence must support your thesis. The rest of the sentences within the paragraph are used to further explain and to support the topic sentence. These supporting paragraphs are referred to as the "body" of the report and, in most cases, it should include at least three paragraphs in the body.
The final paragraph of the expository essay is the conclusion. The conclusion should restate the thesis and the main ideas, though the sentences should be worded differently. The final paragraph should never introduce new material and the final sentence should summarize the report in a memorable or meaningful way. In doing so, you'll leave a lasting impression on the reader that will help your document stand out from the rest.
There are many situations in which a student might have to complete an informative essay. It is a standard assignment that not only provides a point-of-view, but also a significant amount of information. Students may have to write informative essays for any course that they're taking at any level of study.
There are several steps that students can take in order to ensure that they write effective and well-composed informative essays. First, students need to understand the nature of the topic about which they must write. Many students are required to write informative essays based on a topic discussed in class. Other students may have to complete the assignment based on their own topic and research that they perform outside of class.
Regardless of the informative essay topic, students should always be sure that they understand what the professor is looking for prior to beginning the researching and writing process. Once the student understands the topic and reviews the complete project requirements, he/she can begin.
Many students will map out a research plan for their informative essays that includes interviews, research in a library, experimentation, and more. Students should have an idea of what kind of research they will use before they get started, even though the research methods might change once the student begins the research process.
After a student is satisfied with the amount of research that he/she has performed, he/she should develop an outline for the informative essay. The outline will provide the basic structure and content for the work and help the student to write more effectively if he/she can follow the outline closely.
Students can begin the first draft of their informative essays once they have completed their outlines. They need to be aware that the first draft might not be the last draft, so they should set aside enough time to revise and edit multiple drafts before submitting the final work.
There are many types of academic documents that students will need to write as part of their studies. While term papers are very common assignments, informative essays aren't assigned quite as often. Unlike standard writing assignments, informative essays are designed to share information and provide moderation commentary. Traditional assignments aren't necessarily designed to share information, but they're suited to provide a point-of-view.
An expository term paper is one that a student writes with the primary objective of informing the reader. Expository term papers are different from other types that encourage the reader to present a specific argument or interpretation, as they are intended to explore and discuss a single topic in a thorough way.
Reports are long and in-depth texts; therefore, expository term papers must be on complex subjects. Otherwise, the report will not achieve the length and breadth required. Students should choose a topic that has many different components or facets. Therefore, while the topic should be specific, it shouldn't be so specific that the learner will not be able to write about it for several pages.
Though expository term papers don't posit arguments, they should nonetheless present thesis statements. A thesis is the paper's main idea. The thesis for an expository term paper will likely identify the topic and then explain how that topic is going to be explored. For instance, the topic of the report may be on explaining the behavior of weather systems in mountainous areas. The thesis for such a topic may be as follows: "Weather systems behave differently in mountainous areas than they do in non-mountainous areas. By investigating the barometric pressure, precipitation patterns, and temperatures in adjacent mountainous and non-mountainous regions, it's possible to observe the interesting effects mountains have on weather." This thesis clearly identifies the topic of the expository term paper—the behavior of weather systems in mountain areas—and explains how this topic will be explored—through the examination of the barometric pressure, precipitation patterns, and temperatures in adjacent mountainous and non-mountainous regions.
Determining who will be reading the expository term paper is central the success of such a report. A student should always assume, unless instructed otherwise, that the audience for his/her assignment is his/her instructor and his/her peers. Therefore, though an expository term paper is completed to inform, an expository term paper completed to inform one's classmates in an advanced biology class is different from an expository paper completed to inform the average college student. When completing an expository term paper, then, the student can assume that he/she doesn't need to inform his/her reader on background information about his/her topic if that background information has been discussed or acquired through the course of the class.
An expository essay is a type of assignment writing in which a learner will be required to write in-depth about a particular subject. Many expository essays are also called research essays, as a student is required to research a subject in order to write the document. In many cases, expository essays are also papers that are intended to uncover new ideas or information based on research.
Expository essays are meant to "expose" a certain idea or piece of information. As the student exposes information in the report, he/she should provide an analysis of multiple parts of the subject. For example, a student may be required to complete an expository essay about the Creative Class and its impact on urban development. In order to create such an paper, the learner will need to research and understand both the Creative Class as well as urban development basics. The student would then need to explain how to Creative Class impacts urban development from all angles, including positive and negative angles.
Many people regard expository essay writing as detective work. A student takes a subject or question and writes an in-depth analysis of it in order to find out the truth (or the student's opinion of the truth). Expository essays are particular popular in history, political science, and literature courses, as they require learners to think critically and write clearly about their thoughts.
When completing an expository essay, students need to begin with an introductory statement. This introductory statement should include a thesis statement, which is a one-sentence argument/assertion of purpose. The student will prove the thesis to be true throughout the document. Each body paragraph that comes after the introduction should have new information that proves the thesis to be true.
After the student has completed the body of the expository essay, he/she needs to wrap the report up with a conclusion. The conclusion can be one paragraph or several paragraphs in which the student recaps information shared. The student also expresses his/her own opinions and ideas in the conclusion in many cases.
An expository report is different from a research essay in many cases. A research essay conveys basic information and facts. Students need to research a subject in-depth in order to create a research paper. However, they may not need to think critically about that information.
When a student needs to complete an expository essay, he/she not only needs to think critically during his/her research, but the student should also be motivated by his/her ability to uncover new information. An expository essay is, therefore, about exposing the truth behind an idea or fact. A research paper is about providing basic information that can then influence future expository essays.

For the past ten years I have worked in a psychiatric division of a local hospital where I have worked with dual diagnosis patients. Every day I find myself using something I learned from my college education when working with these patients. Whether it is a theory from a Psychology and Play course or a method of organizing and conducting group counseling sessions, it is clear that without my higher education I would not be able to succeed on a daily basis in my current employment environment. | 2019-04-22T00:54:49 | https://www.essaytown.com/writing/expository-essays-informative-term-papers |

I heard the news first in a text message from Shawn Carpenter's brother, who had flown to Albuquerque, N.M., for the closing arguments in his brother's trial, and then from Carpenter himself. Carpenter called from the courthouse and said he had been overwhelmed as the jury read the verdict aloud: "I lost it at the first question, the one I really cared about 'Do you believe that Shawn Carpenter was terminated in violation of public policy?' When the jury said yes, I just started bawling." In all, he was awarded nearly $4.7 million in damages, almost double what his lawyers had asked for.
So ends at least until appeals Shawn Carpenter's quest for justice. Carpenter, whose story was first written about in TIME magazine in August 2005, was a network security analyst working at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque when he discovered that the lab's network was coming under a methodical series of attacks emanating from Chinese IP addresses. When the Navy veteran found out that dozens of Army bases and defense contractors around the country had been suffering identical Trojan horse attacks on their secure networks, he went to his bosses to present the evidence he had collected and ask for permission to "backhack" the attackers to find out their point of origin.
What followed was an object lesson in bureaucratic torpor. Wary of the gray legal area involved in tracking Internet attacks back to foreign servers, Sandia supervisors told Carpenter that it wasn't in the lab's interest to follow or stop the attackers. They ordered him to stop and not to share information on the attacks, even after the FBI had requested permission to have him work the case under their supervision.
The attacks code named Titan Rain are still hitting secure government networks here and abroad. And the country can thank in large measure the type of fecklessness that Sandia's managers showed in handling Carpenter's case. Sandia actually has a huge security apparatus designed to ensure that the nuclear lab's secrets stay safe. But when Carpenter said he would continue trying to solve the case on his own time as a matter of conscience, Sandia trained that security apparatus on him. They investigated him, harangued him, stripped him of his security clearance and ultimately fired him.
A Sandia spokesman declined on Tuesday to respond to specific allegations, but said that Sandia is "disappointed by the verdict" and might appeal. He also repeated earlier Sandia assertions that Carpenter had stepped beyond clear boundaries.
I myself was skeptical of Carpenter's story when I first met him. And, after months of investigating his claims about his firing and the attacks that he tracked down, I still think he can be amazingly pigheaded, ignoring his own best interests and exasperating those around him when he thinks he's right.
But the thing is, he was right. And he fought a good fight. Not only against the hackers from China (until the FBI itself got cold feet and told him to stop), but also against the government bureaucracy that wronged him. Carpenter sued for wrongful termination. In response, the nuclear lab spent untold amounts of taxpayer money (that's right: his money, my money, and your money) on a legal strategy that appeared to be designed to run up Carpenter's bills long enough to force him to drop the case. They made him fly back from his new home in Washington, D.C., to New Mexico for settlement talks that Carpenter says wouldn't even have paid his lawyers' fees. They buried him and his lawyers in discovery documents. But Carpenter, who since had his security clearance restored and is a contractor with another federal agency, never wavered. In that quintessentially American way, he still wanted his day in court. Along the way, he became a minor cult hero among networks geeks and stubborn patriots.
It's still unclear whether this verdict will do anything to actually chasten Sandia into changing its management culture. But for all those in favor of government accountability, and for anyone who likes to see a David occasionally win against Goliath, Shawn Carpenter's victory in court is worth cheering. | 2019-04-25T06:21:12 | http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1589735,00.html |
The 2019 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival in Indio, California has no age limit. But some people think it should.
On Saturday a troll told Kyle Richards on Instagram she was 'too old' to attend the event which often sees youngsters like Kendall Jenner, 23, and Hailey Baldwin, 22, attend.
The 50-year-old RHOBH star was at the festival with Lisa Rinna and Teddi Mellencamp.
In the post, Kyle had on slightly tinted Barton Perreira aviator sunglasses with large gold hoop earrings and red lipstick with her black hair worn down.
The women have been taking in concerts at the festival. And on Friday night they hit NYLON's Midnight Garden Party.
Earlier Lisa also took the time to plug Amazon. She got into the Chella spirit as she flashed her bikini top while at the Amazon Lockers.

Entering the horizon Utar flaps, being dragged down by the heavy weight of a large cow. Dropping the cow, he settles down and begins to tuck in, regardless of whether his fellow dragons have seen him.
Espik shed a few tears, not sure where her friends were now.
Seeing something similar to herself, she made her way down a few slippy rocks, before squealing and loosing her footing.
The little dragon gets ripped out of his dreams and slides down from the flower.
A squealing noise caused him to leave his sleeping place.
He hides behind a bush and sees Espik.
His glares are fixed on her cause she looks similar to his kind.
Espik froze and looked at the other dragon.
"Sorry..." She haistily thought-spoke to him.
Breath tried to speak but it sounds a bit weird "Sowy?"
He gets closer and stops beside and starts to sniff her.
Espik was surprised at this spoken language, and tried to mimic it.
Isoroga roars out for other dragons which he can talk with.He feels the sickness to be alone. His roar isn't a roar with happyness its full with sadness.
He tilds his head staring at her.
"But I sleeped enough"Then he smiled.
"Is.. is you going to new land..s?" Espik attempted.
She thought about Ther, then sighed.
Hoping he was okay, she leaned over to a tree, pulling a juicy fruit from a tree, eating a grub that was on it.
She offered the fruit to the smaller dragon.
"New land?Me never heard about i.it"
He makes a curious glare and accepts the fruit Espik offered,eating it slowly while sitting on his hindquarter.
"When I was in my hard-hard, mother would tell me of it in my sleepy... I don't know where she goed." Espik said, sitting in front of the other dragon.
"Me, Espik. You have, self-name?" She asked curiously.
"I see" And he nodded.
"If you mean that thing what parents call you?Ehhh..I could hear my parents talking about the name Breath,I remember that exactly" Then he smiled.
"Yes,it's Breath." He raises and eyebrow.
"I also like your name." Then he smiled.
The small Dark Dragon giggled, then saw the lizard.
Breath looks over to the lizard and answers "Yes,friend."
"But i don't know him or her."
Espik watched the lizard wake up and yawn.
It wandered over to them and sat down.
Breath turns and sits down in front of the lizard.
"Do you have a name?" He asked.
Then he looked back at Espik.
The lizard yawned and stretched out it's forelegs, revealtin gthem to in fact me wings.
"Name? My name is Tehra."
Breath rised his head and sniffed the lizard.
His nose saves the smell of it and he looks at the creature.
"What is ehh new world?"
He points at Espik. "She said new world"
"New lands, you mean? A place where we live in peace. Far away."
"A life in peace?" Breath is confused.
"Isn't this place peacefull?" This makes him unsure who to trust.
But he is sure about that he can trust Espik and Tehra.
Espik shed a small tear.
"I got separated from my friends by a big, bad... hunter-thing."
He also sees Espik's tear and then he suddenly knows it can't be something good.
Then he frowned and his expression changes. | 2019-04-21T12:34:18 | http://nalaroth.forumotion.com/t27p125-the-harsh-skies-i-journey-to-the-new-lands |

Pros: Prague is an amazing place, but don't forget to arrive off-season, and for godsake remember to bring your shoulder pads and crash helmet.
Oh my God, it's a bloody warm one!!!!!!
Well it was certainly the day to make the most of it, the inclement weather that had hampered efforts to get around town without a soaking over the past week had long disappeared.
Transport tickets last for 90 minutes on the weekend, so i decided to grab some late breakfast at my favourite corner store just west of the Charle's Bridge before i launched myself into a day of mayhem. Caught the underground metro over to the suburb of Andel to visit the Mozart Museum, where the man himself finished composing Don Giovanni in 1787.
Still out on the lookout for a decent book, back into the city to no avail, so it wasn't before long that i find myself back in Andel purchasing Salman Rushdie's controversial book, SATANIC VERSES. Hopefully it should provide interesting reading over the coming week as i make my way back into the tranquil old town's in the Czech Republic for some much needed R & R.
Climb the tower of Charle's Bridge to get a better view of the throng below, i can't believe it's now mid-September and supposedly shoulder season, there is no way you will find this little puppy in this city in the midst of summer.
As i make my way over to the old town square, i hear an southern American accent pop out from the crowd, "I tell ya, he is DEAD". As i wake from my peaceful little world i notice a crowd gathered beside the roadside, paramedic's hunched over a middle-aged man on a stretcher, his brown eyes wide open on a expressionless face. Without haste they shove him into the back of the ambulance, to add to the confusion a siren can be heard in the distance as the police hurriedly make their way to the scene. So much is happening around me, i'm trying to absorb what has taken place, but all that i can draw from the situation is, "Gawd, my first sighting of a warm one!".
No time for contemplation as the relentless hustle and bustle continues, this place is not for the faint hearted is all i can say. The way the officers go about their business, it becomes obvious that death on the streets of Prague occurs with monotonous regularity.
It's mid-afternoon by the time i finally make it to the epi-centre of the old town, swarming with American package tourists, eagerly waiting the hourly performance of the gothic astronomical clock that has been performing the same old task since the early 13th century. The place is a haven for pick-pocketers, so having suffered a financial loss in this country already, i avoid the masses by making my way to the top of the town hall tower and to my delight, an exquisite view of the city. Catch a glimpse of nakedness in a photography exhibit as i make my way downstairs, worth a look i say, before i retreat for what's left of the day to one of the three known "tea-houses" in Prague.
Finally get back to the hostel some time before nine, a Finnish guy in the hostel is celebrating his 24th birthday, so i partake in the nocturnal activities of a night on the town. We venture out around 11pm, over the Charles Bridge to the underground Joe's Bar before we hit the clubs, oh boy it's going to be another late one!!!!!!!

Interdisciplinary collaboration amongst ecosystem scientists and managers is vital for developing innovative solutions to the complex issues surrounding Australia’s changing ecosystems.
Who is engaging in interdisciplinary collaboration in Australia’s ecosystem science and management community? What are the barriers to collaboration? Is interdisciplinary collaboration important?
These were some of the questions investigated by Lucy Keniger, a University of Queensland Masters student who explored the factors associated with interdisciplinary research collaboration in the Australian ecosystem science and management community.
Overall, 751 ecosystem scientists and managers responded to an online survey from December 2011 to February 2012.
The respondents were mainly from universities (45%), followed by government (25%) and private consultancies (15%), and most were from capital cities (67%). Of the respondents, 48% were members of the Ecological Society of Australia, by far the largest of any membership nominated in the survey.
Most respondents thought that interdisciplinary collaboration was important for both ecosystem science and for management, but actual collaboration told a different story.
The key perceived incentives for collaboration were learning, extending professional networks, gaining experience and opening up opportunities to work on different topics.
Key perceived barriers were financial and institutional constraints, lack of time, and distance between potential collaborators.
- respondents more advanced in their career were more likely to collaborate with other disciplines.
Synthesis centres such as ACEAS are important vessels for improving collaborative effort within the community by providing financial resources, bringing distal researchers together, creating sufficient, dedicated time to focus on a project, and helping overcome both institutional and social barriers to collaboration. | 2019-04-24T20:46:21 | http://aceas.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=108:interdisciplinary-collaboration&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=50 |

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Two days after taking down this season's top team in the West, the Los Angeles Lakers will take aim at even bigger game Friday night when they face the defending champion Golden State Warriors.
It'll be the third matchup of the season between the California rivals, with the Warriors having prevailed in overtime in both previous duels, each of which was hosted by the Lakers.
The game will feature the Bay Area debut of high-profile Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball, whose driving layup was blocked by Golden State's David West in the final seconds of the Warriors' 116-114 win at Los Angeles on Monday.
Ball finished the game with 16 points, six rebounds and six assists.
The 20-year-old had a 15-point, 10-assist double-double when he went head-to-head with Warriors star Stephen Curry in the teams' first matchup of the season, a 127-123 Golden State win in November.
Ball won't have to deal with the former two-time Most Valuable Player on Friday, as Curry will miss his seventh consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. Curry also sat out Monday's win at Los Angeles.
The Lakers suffered more than just a loss on the scoreboard that night. Center Brook Lopez sprained his right ankle and likely won't play again until January.
Los Angeles didn't need its big man in Wednesday's 122-116 win at Houston, as rookie forward Kyle Kuzma dominated the action with 38 points, 21 coming on 3-pointers.
Ball contributed 16 points and nine rebounds to the win.
"Brook means a lot," Ball said of the veteran big man who is the club's fifth-leading scorer at 12.8 points per game. "He is big in the paint and he can space the offense, so we are definitely going to miss him."
The Lakers started former Warrior Andrew Bogut at center against Houston. He had two points and three rebounds in 17 minutes.
The Warriors were missing three starters and two key reserves in Wednesday's 97-84 home win over the Memphis Grizzlies. But at least one of the five is expected back Friday.
Draymond Green, who has sat out the last four games with a sore right shoulder, was able to scrimmage with teammates on Thursday.
Barring a setback at Friday's afternoon shootaround or pregame warmups, Green will face a team against which he compiled 15 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists in the Nov. 29 meeting.
Andre Iguodala, who missed Wednesday's game with an illness, is another Golden State player who could return Friday.
The Warriors have won 10 games in a row, becoming the fourth team this season to string together a streak of at least 10 games.
Golden State has had 10-game win streaks in each of the last five seasons. Only San Antonio, Boston and Seattle had accomplished that feat previously in NBA history.
The Warriors used their 12th different starting lineup against the Grizzlies.
"We have a lot of depth and plenty of guys who can play, and so we have enough talent to continue to win, which is great," Warriors coach Steve Kerr observed. "It may not be pretty right now, but we are doing a good job defensively and then finding ways to score." | 2019-04-21T10:57:59 | http://stats.chron.com/nba/preview.asp?g=2017122209&home=9&vis=13&final=true |

For Diane, everyone else comes first. Generous but with little patience for self-pity, she spends her days checking in on sick friends, volunteering at her local soup kitchen, and trying valiantly to save her troubled, drug-addicted adult son from himself. But beneath her relentless routine of self-sacrifice, Diane is fighting a desperate internal battle, haunted by a past she can't forget and which threatens to tear her increasingly chaotic world apart. Built around an extraordinary, fearless performance from Mary Kay Place, the narrative debut from Kent Jones is a profound, beautifully human portrait of a woman rifling through the wreckage of her life in search of redemption.

Park the car in the allocated space and walk to the front door passing the fragrant Mediterranean garden.
On entering the villa you step directly into the living area with two comfortable seating areas which allows plenty of space to relax and look out to the distant sea view. From the living room there are patio doors which lead out to a balcony with marvellous views and is furnished with an outdoor sofa and arm chairs.
There is a tasteful kitchen with warm coloured wood fittings and dining area. From here, glass doors open out to a balcony which has a further outdoor dining area. This is a great place to take in the stunning views of the coastline whilst having your breakfast. On the lower ground floor there is also separate utility room.
To the right of the entrance is a bathroom which is decorated in fresh tones of blue and grey. Between the entrance and the bathroom are the white marble stairs that lead to the lower ground floor where the bedrooms are located. Arriving at the lower ground floor immediately on the right is a doorway that takes you to a bathroom. Directly opposite the staircase is a twin bedroom with access directly to the pool and surrounding terrace. Turn left at the bottom of the staircase and the next room along on the right is the second twin bedroom with unusual rattan type bedsteads giving almost a Colonial feel to the room. The two twin rooms are adjacent and both have access to the pool. On the left to the rear of the villa is a shower room. At the end of the passage is a double bedroom decorated in shades of primrose with an imposing double bed. There are patio doors here that lead out to the side of the villa, where there is a path that leads to a few steps to the pool. Turn right at the end of the passage and the door directly in front leads outside to the pool and terraces. Just before this door is the second double bedroom on the left which is decorated in shades of dusky rose. This bedroom also has direct access to the pool area.
This villa is registered and licenced by EOT Greek licensing association. This number is: 1041K123K2771901.
Villa Panorma Crete is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom villa that is located in a tranquil, countryside area. A short car ride will bring you to the town of Rethymnon with its historical old town full of cobbled streets and attractive small shops. Here in Rethymnon is a long stretch of sandy beach with organised beach facilities and the marina to the east. The fortress of Rethymnon and the enchanting venetian harbour lies to the west side of the town and is worth a visit. Rethymnom has restaurants and cafes in abundance and in the evenings the old town is closed to traffic making it a very pleasant place to while away the evenings. The villa is great for those seeking a relaxing retreat and yet be close driving distance to the resort amenities.
Close to the villa is Rethymnon Beach. This is a large beach which is mostly sandy with clear blue sea. The beach is popular with both locals and tourists and makes a great day out.
If you head towards Platanes and Adelianos Kampos, you will find a sand and shingle beach that has sun beds for hire so you can have a lazy day at the beach.
A short car ride will bring you to the resort of Rethymnon where there is an abundance of fine dining restaurants and typical tavernas. You shall be spoilt for choice for places to sample with the delights of Cretan cuisine. The old Venetian harbour side is lined with tavernas, all of which offer a selection of seafood and fish, along with the usual "mama's one pot cooking". If you head east from the villa you will reach the adjoining resorts of Platanes and Adelianos Kampos - this long street plays host to a selection of good tavernas and cafes.
In the resort of Rethymnon you will find many museums and historical areas of interest such as the beautiful Rimondi fountain and the Loggia museum. The Fortezza of Rethymnon is also worth a visit, perched strategically high on a hill overlooking the old town to one side and the Cretan sea to the other. During the summer months many concerts and theatre productions are held in the Erofoli theatre, a small amphitheatre within the grounds of the fortress.
Close to the villa you have the village of Maroules, this is a picturesque village set above the bay of Rethymnon. The village is a UNESCO heritage site and features two watchtowers from the venetian era. The cobbled streets and stone pathways lead to pretty whitewashed houses and the village has a few local tavernas and shops.
Heading to the east from Villa Panorama Crete you will reach the adjoining resorts of Platanes and Adelianos Kampos. Here there are shops, beach bars and activities such as mini-golf and go karting. On the beach there are some water sports. Here you will also find a good selection of mini-markets and supermarkets.
Villa Panorama Crete is not available to book for season as it is sold out. Take a look here at the Crete villas that are currently on sale.
Horse riding is available at the Riding Academy of Crete in Karteros in just over 14 miles from Hersonissos.
The water park just outside Chania is a great way for all the family to have fun. The rides cater for all ages and abilities. There are a couple of water parks close to Heraklion and it might be a good combination to visit the Crete Aquarium at the same time. They are easy to find and open mid May (weather permitting) and closed in October.
Villa Panorama was a lovely, very clean, spacious villa. The pool was a great size and kept very clean. | 2019-04-22T05:09:32 | https://www.villaplus.com/destinations/villas-in-greek-islands/crete/rethymnon/villa-panorama-crete |

You don’t need fancy gear or ingredients to prepare a feast fit for a king.
My first forays into cooking anything other than scrambled eggs often involved ground beef and cream of mushroom soup. Those dishes weren’t sophisticated, but they were fast, easy and sustaining for a college student for whom “middle-age spread” was still several years away.
Campbell’s got less and less of my business as my waistline expanded and my cholesterol level climbed. Until a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t remember the last time I heard the delicious slurp of a slug of condensed soup slid out of a can into a casserole dish. But as dove season approached, I was in the market for an easy, delicious way to prepare dove breasts in camp, and I reverted to old habits with a few twists acquired in the intervening decades. The resulting feast was so wonderful, I was eager to repeat it. I got my chance on Saturday, September 17, 2016, which was the opening day of Missouri’s early teal season.
Even more than most waterfowl hunting, teal season is a crap shoot. It lasts only 16 days and if you don’t get a substantial cold front to push birds down from the Dakotas, or if you can’t be in the marsh when a migratory pulse occurs, you will spend the morning looking at empty skies. That has been my experience for the past few years. This year’s season opener, however, was the kind that sustains the zeal of teal devotees through the lean years. We saw more teal before sunrise than we had during the entirety of the previous five seasons combined. When the morning flight petered out around 10 a.m., I had five blue-winged teal to work with.
Browning meat develops savory flavors you can’t get any other way.
Back at camp, I fired up my Coleman propane stove and browned the breasts in olive oil in a cast iron Dutch oven. When they were on the dark side of golden, I set them aside, added another two tablespoons of oil and four medium-sized, sliced onions.
When the onions started to caramelize, I added some garlic powder, salt, pepper and cup of full-bodied red wine. I stirred with a steel spatula, taking care to scrape the goop off the bottom, then stirred in two cans of cream of mushroom soup and a can of water. I kept stirring the mixture on high heat until it started to bubble, then turned down the burner as low as it would go and placed the browned breasts on top of the onion-wine-soup concoction. I sealed the Dutch oven with its tight-fitting lid and set my cell-phone timer for 45 minutes.
Cook onions until they begin to caramelize, leaving some slightly crunchy.
Before starting this process, I had lit half of a small bag of self-starting charcoal in the fire ring. It was now covered with gray ash and ready to cook. After spreading the coals out in a flat bed, I peeled and sliced a large sweet potato and put the slices on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. I salted the potatoes, added some squeeze margarine and a liberal sprinkling of real bacon bits, then folded the foil over and sealed the package. Then I laid out another sheet of foil, laid the packet top-down on this second sheet and sealed it snugly. This inverted double wrap makes it possible to turn the packet over and cook both sides without spilling the liquid inside.
When 45 minutes were up, I checked the doneness of the breasts. The larger ones were still a little rare for my taste. The last thing you want to do to waterfowl is cook it beyond medium-rare. The result will be tough, dry, livery-tasting meat. However, duck tartar is not my cup of tea, either. The sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked at this point, so I took them off the coals, wrapped the two too-rare breasts in foil and finished them on the coals. Fifteen minutes later, I was ready to eat. OMG. Medium-rare teal breast and potatoes smothered in mushroom gravy. Heaven.
Simmer until the meat is rare or at most medium-rare.
I ate until I was stuffed, then continued to snack on potatoes and gravy as I cleaned up the kitchen area, set up my tent and savored the left-over wine. That combination, plus having been up at the crack of dawn, beats any sleeping pill on the market. I read only half a page of my book before falling sound asleep. The glow of sunset hadn’t even faded from the western horizon. Perfect timing, since I planned to do it all over again the next day.
Who cares if this cholesterol fest shaves a few days off the end of my life. By then I’ll probably be in a nursing home, eating hot dogs and pureed spinach. It seems like a good trade-off to me.
I like sweet potatoes, but this recipe is equally good with Idaho potatoes. | 2019-04-22T02:44:03 | http://www.sharetheoutdoors.com/2016/09/21/tealgating-outdoor-cooking-for-hunters/ |

I would like to thank my numerous colleagues, especially at Nokia: those who gave me freedom to pursue my ideas, those who appreciated my ideas, those who initiated or inspired great ideas, those who helped or showed me new ways of innovating and those who have supported my ideas.
Special thanks go to Peter Dam Nielsen, who has been my sparring partner in User Experience Innovation for more than ten years and with whom I have co-created a large number of successful user experience innovations as well as methods for creating successful innovations. I guess that around half of my patents are due to my long sparring with him.
I also want to give a big thank to my girlfriend for being very patient while writing this book. | 2019-04-21T18:41:31 | https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/user-experience-innovation/9781430241492/Acknowledgments.html |

I have a working Excel file that creates CSV files that when used with Paul Rowntree's csv to 2d vectors it will create all parts of a cabinet with full dado's. I have been building cabinets for a living for quite some time and I still hand drew lots of parts. I am wondering if someone is willing to help turn this into a useable stand alone gadget without the need to create the CSV's in excel. It would consist of a fill in sheet for specs, then a master selection page for entering the size and type of cabinet. Sub pages would do the calculations that excel does and have it put the parts directly in Vcarve or aspire.
I use toolpath templates from there as my parts go into vcarve with layers. Automatic toolpaths that would work with it would be nicer than having to create the toolpaths, even though the use of templates makes it very easy. I'm just trying to save some steps on my end of file creation, but what I have is functioning well.
The third request would be part nesting instead of my crude way of calculating where the parts go.
I have included some screen shots of what I have working and one of the upper cabinets created and imported into Vcarve.
I'm wondering if any Gadget Guru's are willing to tackle the project.
Hope someone can help you out. Way above my expertise.
There are lots of cabinet systems that work well with VCarve out there already. Have you tried those? Developing a gadget is not going to be as full featured as those packages and isn't a trivial thing to code. I did a similar system for Sketchup in the pre-Google days and it takes a while.
What's wrong with the nesting in VCarve?
It is very usable as is. I have ran multiple programs and I know their cost. Getting every option with any program never did satisfy me. I also wanted to be able to share it with people that don't have excel, so the two choices are a stand alone program, or gadget. I'm looking in the gadget info, trying to find what It needs to see to create another sheet right now.
I am writing one... I built one for AutoCAD and Fusion 360 (lite) for a company (sorry I cannot share it). I am not sure the timing you want this done.
PS: Here is a box-joint Gadget I made in 2015. have a look and see if the quality is inline your thoughts. | 2019-04-23T10:49:49 | https://forum.vectric.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&p=221918 |

A new take on the humble insulated cup comes from an industrial designer tired of seeing people slurp out of canteens.
The Pint is a growler-shaped canteen that stores hot or cold liquids. But twist off the bottom and it converts to an oversize wine-glass shaped drinking vessel in just a few motions.
“I got tired of seeing people drinking coffee from their canteens,” inventor Matty Martin said. A Kickstarter campaign has launched to bring it to market.
We haven’t tested it yet, but it appears that you can convert it without pouring out the beverage it carries. Thus, you could transport your coffee, then flip it over and open the Pint into a cup to savor the drink.
A camper and outdoors enthusiast, Martin worked for three years with Google X. He was a designer working on Project Glass, helping shape the product and its accessories.
The 16-ounce Pint has double-wall stainless steel sides for insulation. It can store coffee or beer, or anything hot or cold, and it is made to regulate liquid temperature for hours.
The plastic parts are BPA-free, and the caps remove for cleaning “because everyone eventually puts coffee inside their bottle and has a hard time cleaning it,” Martin said.
It comes with two finishes, a black carbon and a textured “granite” look.
Despite his roots in the tech world, Martin said he kept an open mind when switching to outdoors gear.
The Pint is Martin’s first product made for the outdoors. It launches on Kickstarter on October 20th. For now, take a look at his site and a preview of this new kind of camping bottle at stablegoods.co. | 2019-04-22T04:01:59 | https://gearjunkie.com/the-pint-camping-cup |
Whatever your expectations for this weekend, they were likely met. Whether young or mature, new or long time SGV attendee; whether you wanted to meet people, deepen existing relationships, enjoy solitude, participate in creative workshops, or grow in faith, there was something for everyone. The Core team and other leaders did a fantastic job providing for our physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs! Many thanks to all who contributed to an outstanding retreat and especially Praise be to God.
A “call” from God is personal. It’s specific and He will initiate it. Embracing His call is how we love God.
“Funnels of God’s calls”. The Bible is filled with those whom God called. Starting with creation, the successive funnels represent the “popping out” of each new generation. After Christ came to save us from our sins, those who repent and follow Him will flow from the Believers funnel. Who’s next to flow or “pop out” of our funnel and be God’s seeds for the future?
“God started it and He will finish it.” He’s waiting.
“Loving God compels us to love others”. Do we love others as ourselves? Do we love ourselves?
To illustrate these messages, Reine provided an overview of her years as senior pastor’s wife and how she responded to this call. For those of us who remember, it was nostalgic and poignant. For those not familiar with Evergreen’s past, it was a history lesson to understand and see God’s plan unfold. Reine’s closing session identified people at SGV whose embrace of God’s call are associated with ministries such as Prayer, the Well, Infants, Building, VBS, and MOPS/STEMS.
In addition to Reine, there were other powerful testimonies. Kathy Takayama and Stephanie (Yokoi) Chin shared how their lives became forever intertwined after Stephanie’s parents were killed in an auto accident when she was nine. Through the tragedy, God’s provision unfolded. They shared stories of how people supported them and examples of how God was working behind the scenes. One symbolic example of God’s faithfulness was manifested in “their funnel”: The Yokois served in the youth ministry; those whom they mentored reciprocated to Stephanie as her advisors; Stephanie poured into her advisor’s children as their youth advisor; and her advisor’s children will hopefully become Stephanie’s children’s advisors someday, etc.
In handing the reins to her successor, Reine asked Sharla Seto to share her journey of accepting God’s call as the senior pastor’s wife. Although we have heard Pastor Rocky’s story, Sharla’s perspective is equally important because Rocky could not answer what he felt was God’s call if Sharla did not also embrace it. Sharla shared how there were several people in her life that were key in her decision because God uses others to love/walk with us, just as He has called us to love/walk alongside others.
During the open sharing time, someone asked, “What if Reine and Cory, or any of the other “pioneers” of our church, had not embraced God’s call? How would SGV look today? This question can actually be applied to any of us. What would the future be like if we don’t embrace God’s call? Have we embraced God’s call or determined what is He calling us to do yet? If we haven’t, we should not be afraid. The testimonies we heard definitely encourage and inspire us to find out. They remind us that Jesus IS faithful to complete what He calls us to do if we will embrace it. | 2019-04-25T18:07:17 | http://www.evergreensgv.org/congregational-life-blog/2017/11/12/embracing-gods-call |
