NEW DELHI: German luxury car manufacturer BMW is presenting the world premiere of the BMW M4 GTS at the 44th Tokyo Motor Show, to be held from October 30 to November 8, 2015, the company said in a statement. Meanwhile, new BMW 7 Series, X1, and four other plug in hybrid models will be making their Asian debut at the show.
On the lines of BMW M4 Coupe, this special edition model is limited to 700 units to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the M3. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 305 km/h. It comes equipped with seven speed M Double Clutch Transmission.
BMW has tried in redefining the new 7 Series by using a host of features. The company has applied carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) in the body structure, executive drive pro active chassis system, driving experience control switch with "Adaptive" mode, and BMW laserlight.
The interior includes executive lounge feature with massage function, illuminated sky lounge panorama glass roof, and a smartphone holder with inductive charging station.
The second generation of the BMW X1 transfers qualities of a sports activity vehicle to the compact segment. It will be available in both petrol and diesel engines.
Equipment features available for the BMW X1 for the first time include full-LED headlights, dynamic damper control, head-up display, and the driving assistant plus system.
The BMW 330e with plug-in hybrid drive is being added to the model line-up of the new BMW 3 Series. An all-electric driving with zero local emissions in the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer will be possible in the future with 225xe.
They will be joined by the BMW 740e luxury sedan (the plug-in hybrid variant of the new 7 Series) and the X5 xDrive40e. | 2019-04-22T04:36:59 | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/passenger-vehicle/cars/bmw-to-debut-m4-gts-at-tokyo-motor-show/49254460 |

Once the holidays are over and you're up to your seventh snowfall for the year, winter can become a bit of a drag for everyone. However, for some people, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) has the ability to make the colder months extremely difficult. That's why I got in touch with Deborah Offner, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist and educational consultant. She was more than willing to provide her amazing insights on how to combat seasonal affective disorder, as well as what constitutes this issue.
"Seasonal affective disorder refers to a seasonal pattern of mood variation in which a person regularly becomes depressed during the fall and winter months, with no particular life stressor or trigger other than the changes in weather and environmental light patterns," says Dr. Offner. "The most typical or 'hallmark' symptoms of SAD, in addition to sadness and low mood, include low energy, fatigue, sleeping more than usual, and eating more (especially carbohydrates). Many people with SAD also experience anxiety, difficulty concentrating, irritability, loss of libido, and a weakened immune system during the winter months that makes them vulnerable to colds and other infections."
The good news, however, is that there are changes you can make to your space and lifestyle to help lessen the affects of SAD. Check out Dr. Offner's great insights right here.
"Light therapy is an extremely well-established, 'first line' treatment for Seasonal affective disorder, leading to significant improvement or remission in at least half of people treated in most studies," says Dr. Offner. "For tips on choosing a light box, see the '10 point check list' on the website for Great Britain's Seasonal Affective Disorder Association."
This NatureBright SunTouch plus light has over 2,500 great reviews because it's 10,000-lux as well as negative ion, it filters out harmful UV light, and it helps to boost your mood and energy throughout the dark winter months. "Amazing for seasonal affective disorder!" says one reviewer. "I use it every morning for about 45 minutes, and have noticed a major difference in only a few days."
According to Dr. Offner, another good option is "adding full-spectrum light bulbs," because it's "an affordable way to address SAD symptoms." This set of four Joyous Light full spectrum light bulbs gives you crisp, bright light that saves energy and helps you to get the quality spectrum you need when suffering from SAD. They also reduce eye strain and fatigue, and can even help with indoor plants.
"Aromatherapy has long been used across cultures to promote healing; scented essential oils can relieve seasonal depression in a couple of ways," says Dr. Offner. "Certain natural plant oils are believed to stimulate the brain and endocrine system in a way that improves mood states. ... Popular scents for relieving SAD symptoms include lavender, rose, bergamot, lemongrass, and sandalwood."
This 14-oil Family Doctor essential oil set comes with fourteen plain oils and fourteen blends including stress relief, breathe, and relaxation. All of the aforementioned oils can be found in there, and this set is high-quality and pure. "Stick to those made from plants and steer clear of those that include synthetic substances," says Dr. Offner.
"Sitting in spaces within your home where there is the most natural light through the windows can help, as can making sure you spend time outside while the sun is shining," says Dr. Offner. "Running outside (if you live in a cold climate, wear extra thermal layers, hat and glove) allows you to get the benefits of both exercise and exposure to natural sunlight."
According to Dr. Offner, it helps to "invest in simple additions to your space that make it feel more welcoming and comforting," like a scented candle that helps to brighten your space. This set of two lavender jar candles uses 100 percent pure lavender essential oil (one of Dr. Offner's recommendations for aromatherapy) and each of them burn for up to 45 hours. They smell fresh, look great, and are sure to brighten up any space.
"Exercise is now considered a powerful anti-depressant and is an excellent intervention for SAD," says Dr. Offner. "Needless to say, it can be very hard to muster the energy for a workout or run when you are depressed. If you can't drag yourself to the gym, try doing a series of jumping jacks, push-ups or rope jumping at home or in your office. And, if you can push yourself into a couple of workouts, the improvement you experience may motivate you to keep at it."
My go-to exercise (especially when I don't feel like it) is rebounding, because it burns as many calories as running, is way easier on the joints, flushes the lymph, and feels like a game. This Bounce & Burn mini trampoline is a great place to start, because it's strong, durable, extra bouncy, and folds up for convenient storage. It also comes with a fun workout DVD to get you motivated.
"Journaling can help you track patterns in your moods, enabling you to increase those activities (socializing, exercising, meditating) that have preceded improvements and decrease those activities (overeating, hibernating) that have preceded declines in your mood," says Dr. Offner. "Writing things out leads to better insight and understanding and often aids problem-solving."
The How to Be Happy (Or at Least Less Sad) journal and workbook helps you to record your day and see things in a new light with creative and engaging prompts. It's a "trusted friend, creative outlet, security blanket, and secret diary" all in one, and reviewers say it's a great tool to encourage mindfulness.
According to Dr. Offner, "Some researchers have found a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and SAD (as well as depression more generally), so it may help to eat more foods high in vitamin D, including egg yolks, fortified dairy products and fortified cereal." This organic dandelion root tea comes in five boxes and is extremely high in vitamin D, along with other essential vitamins like A, C, and B complex. Reviewers say it tastes great and seriously helps their mood, and they love that it's got simple, organic ingredients.
"Melatonin, taken at bedtime, may also help some SAD sufferers because it helps return the sleep cycles, typically disrupted in SAD patients, to a more normal rhythm," says Dr. Offner. "Melatonin is available as an over-the-counter pill," and you can find it in just about any drugstore or natural health store.
"Finally, as always, unprocessed whole foods are better than junk food," says Dr. Offner, "tempting/comforting as junk food may be! Whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as lean protein, keep our blood sugar levels steady and prevent the mood swings that can come from carbohydrate/sugar-induced blood sugar (and related mood) spikes and crashes." If you're looking for new and delicious ideas for clean eating recipes, this Clean Eating Made Simple cookbook is insanely simple, has 110 healthy recipes, and has some really cool features like a food list and how to adapt recipes for dietary restrictions.
"Other SAD treatments that can be combined with any/all of the above interventions include antidepressant medication, in particular Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). These must be prescribed by a psychiatrist or primary care physician," says Dr.Offner. "Finally, psychotherapy can help — again, in combination with other treatments." | 2019-04-23T22:43:29 | https://www.bustle.com/p/how-to-prevent-seasonal-affective-disorder-in-your-home-26043 |
Welcome to Wildlife Wednesday, marked each first Wednesday of the month with the purpose of learning about and celebrating the diverse fauna with whom we share our world and gardens. Fanciful or plain feathered birds, pollinators and their insect brethren of all stripes and dots, fluffy mammals, and scaly reptiles and amphibians bring our gardens to life. Wildlife is intrinsic to the healthy operation of our environment, in both the macro of the wider world and the micro of our own garden plots.
Succinctly, this guy or gal is a Largus Bug, Largus succcinctus, and he is a true bug belonging to the Suborder Heteroptera and Family Largidae, also known as Bordered Plant Bugs. I haven’t fretted at their mating on the entry board of the bee hives (well, if the bees don’t mind, who am I to judge??) or muddling about on stems and leaves: I’m a live and let live sort of gardener–to a point. Considering that these buggy sorts have been a constant presence this winter, I wonder if I should have administered, or will need to consider administering, a method of control. If it proves necessary, I’ll probably opt for the soapy water bottle technique which entails picking off bugs and dropping them into a frothy concoction. I’ve heard of gardeners who hand vacuum for undesirable critters, cruising their garden spaces and vacuuming where necessary. But my neighbors already think I’m a gardening oddity, so I’m likely stick to patrolling with a bug-death bath in hand.
Swim little bugs, swim! (in basso) Bwahahahaha!
Last autumn, I’d observed and photographed some small black beetles on Frostweed and Turk’s cap which I couldn’t identify; I wrote about them in my November Wildlife Wednesday post. I now know that those beetles are an instar (phases of insect molt) of the Bordered Plant bugs. These bugs have been in my garden for months and at some point, I might need to make a decision about their future endeavors as they crawl along plants and give the bees a peep show. In a University of California ‘Green Blog’ article about these bugs, the author suggests that they don’t cause much damage and I haven’t observed any real problems like munched, crunched, or otherwise damaged flowers or foliage, but I’ll keep a keen eye on them, just in case.
This lovely bird resting on a utility cable behind my back garden is a Monk parakeet, and a member of one of several introduced colonies here in Austin.
I often see 2 or 3 fly over my house in spring–flashes of bright green against the blue Texas sky–screeching their screeches, but rarely do they land in or around my garden. Though not native to this area, they apparently haven’t displaced native fauna and aren’t considered a problem. In spring they choose mates and build their nests high on utility poles and tree tops.
Green (Carolina) anoles, Anolis carolinensis, are back!
I know, he’s not green and in fact, he never left. Sightings of these tree-dwelling lizards are scarce during winter, but since spring sprung a few weeks early in February, I’ve spotted several. This guy isn’t green because he’s lounging on a wooden fence; he’s also giving me quite the stink-eye. He skedaddled shortly after I took his photo; I’m sure we’ll see one another again.
Blue Orchard bees, Osmia lignaria, were the first native bees I observed this spring.
…and building their nests for their blue bee babies.
Blue orchard bees are important pollinators for commercial fruit growers, but are easy to attract to the home garden: they like to build their nest in holes. Providing wood with drilled holes or bamboo pieces with ready-made holes is an easy way to encourage these beauties to nest in and pollinate your garden.
My Blue Orchard bees also build their nests in the mortar of the outside of my house.
Like most Osmia bees, Blue Orchards are solitary in that they don’t build a hive or live communally. However, they are comfortable building their nests alongside one another in a kind of condo/apartment living arrangement, if you will. The females mix plant pollen and nectar with their own saliva and then deposit the mixture for the larval food source in the brood chamber, where one egg per chamber is laid. The mom bee then seals each one-egg brood chamber with mud, which is a combination of plant material and soil. Each female will lay 5-8 eggs, prepare and then seal the nest, and then, sadly, she dies. The offspring created this year will emerge next year, ready to start the mating, pollinating, nesting cycle again.
Go Blue Orchard bees–see you again next spring!
No fruit trees in my garden, but the Blue Orchard bees thoroughly worked the blooms of Mountain laurel.
Another early bee who’s out-and-about-and-pollinating is this green metallic sweat bee working the blooms of a Dewberry bloom.
Identifying native bees is tricky (for me, that is). My best guess is that this is an Augochloropsis metallica, which is found in Central Texas. I’ll see more of these, as well as many other native bees, during our long growing season.
Furry friends are also active as the weather warms. This Eastern fox squirrel, Sciurus niger, played hide-n-seek with me one weekend afternoon.
After his flirtation (no doubt attempting to distract me with charming antics), he landed where he intended: under the sunflower filled-n-spilled bird feeder for his share of seedy nosh.
…and preens in the tree.
Courting and posturing is underway and grackle exhibition will provide chuckles for this gardener and chicks for grackle moms to rear.
I continue to enjoy the visits from winter Texans, like this Yellow-rumped Warbler, Setophaga coronata. I presume that they’re also enjoying their visits to my garden.
He positioned himself for a splash in the pond bog. Various song birds rely on the winter-damaged limbs for perching and because of that, I haven’t removed all of the limbs yet.
I will need to prune this Yellow bells, Tacoma stans, soon, but I can hold off a bit longer allowing the birds some cover and a safe place to observe their world.
Spring. It’s here and preparing for the season’s work. Birds-n-bees are active, pollinators are pollinating, and gardens are awakening to new possibilities and promise.
Whether your garden remains in winter’s deep, or is experiencing spring flush, or perhaps if you’re Down Under, ready for autumn, did wildlife visit your garden this past month? Please post for March Wildlife Wednesday. Share photos and stories of your garden wildlife to promote and appreciate your region’s natural habitat and diversity. When you comment on my post, please remember to leave a link to your Wildlife Wednesday post so readers can enjoy a variety of garden wildlife observations.

Your bee shots are really good. I have not seen Monk parakeets in my area, but heard there is a flock south of here. We once had a parakeet that I think was an escapee. He did not understand pecking order and really upset the woodpeckers.
Thanks–they were still for a time–long enough to click! I can imagine that a parakeet wouldn’t quite get the native bird pecking order; I hope they taught him a lesson or two!
Actually, the woodpecker got very frustrated and gave up.
The monk parakeets abound down here, around Clear Lake. If you drive 146 between Seabrook and San Leon, their large nests can be seen in the power poles. They enjoy the palm trees, too, and they often can be seen feeding on sunflowers in the late summer and fall. They may migrate down the coast in winter, but for the most part they stay right here, and they’re great fun to watch.
I’ll need to look more closely the next time I head down there.
Tina’s garden is full of wildlife. All animals are wonderful as are their photos. And each one of them does his job in the natural garden. Except the Cotorras. Here in Madrid (Spain), where I live have practically disappeared local birds such as Blackbird, Sparrows, Pigeons and more. The City Council has removed numerous giant nests catching the Parrots, but they have been reproduced again. Its a big problem. I am not in my country house because I have a leg and a bad foot since before Christmas and I have to be resting in bed while doing tests and I go from doctor to doctor. I’m missing out on the best of Spring. But what is he going to do? Excuse Tina for my personal comment. Al Anolis that I love and is my friend says hello for me !! And that squirrel playful and bland says it is beautiful. Greetings from Margarita.
So sorry to hear about your leg and foot–I do hope you’ll heal soon so that you can enjoy your garden, Margarita. As for the parrots, that’s too bad. Sometimes, non-native species of plants and animals aren’t a problem, but as you’ve seen, sometimes they are.
Hi Tina, March 1st took me surprise today as being the 1st Wednesday of the month, so I have nothing prepared to join you with. Your post is full of exciting wildlife and flowers and plants far more advanced than we have here. How do you decide if the Largus Bug needs controlling? I had to look him up as wasn’t sure what he could do. Does the Largus Bug have a predator? I once a had Scale insect infestation and used a soapy spray, not sure it did any good though and other than that at home its a free for all. Glad Spring has sprung for you, its late here!
Hi Julie! No worries, though I love to see your gorgeous photos, so anytime you want, join in! The only way that I’d “control” the Bug is if I saw damage that was obvious on one or more plants–and I haven’t. I’ve spritzed aphids with water from my hose and that worked well, but for a larger bug, it’s drown or squish, I’m afraid–neither of which is appealing, but probably won’t be needed. Spring is nice–one can’t help but glory in the new green and fresh blooms!
Thanks, it is nice to see so much happening. Ah, spring will come for you. Sometimes, she’s a pokey one though!
Thanks, Sue. I’m glad the native bees are up and about again! I like your comment about the squirrels; I forget that Australia doesn’t have them and that they seem so exotic! I was at the San Diego zoo about a year ago and amidst all the fascinating animals who live there, there was a young Australian woman taking photos of a squirrel on the pathway. She was so cute when she explained how fascinated she was with them!
Thanks for the wonderful pictures. I was wondering if your owl has showed up? I’m also in Central Austin and haven’t heard them much yet. Any updates?
Thanks, Chris! As for the owls, it’s a weird year. I’ve seen one owl swoop through my back garden and occasionally, she is accompanied by her mate–I’ve seen them courting. But, there’s no mama in the box this year and it’s getting a bit late for that. I noticed a neighbor down the street put up an Eastern Screech house and when I walk my dog just before sundown, he/she is there in the hole, and in fact, has swooped out when I step up near to the tree, which I’ve never witnessed before. A closer neighbor hears trilling in her back garden, but I’ve heard nothing at all this winter/early spring. I also have a friend who lives in south Austin and she has an owl in her house, but her owls have also been very quiet this year. I’m perplexed at their behavior, as it’s different from what it’s been. I don’t think we’ll have a nesting pair in our house this year (sniff!), which I’m very sorry about, but there’s clearly at least one pair in the neighborhood. Good luck with yours!
Same here. Haven’t heard them as much as last year. I had a nest pair the past two years but I’ve only seen them in the neighborhood once this year (and heard them that one time). Normally there’s a lot more vocalizations. As is, I keep having to kick squirrels out of the box and a pair of European starlings checks it out every morning. There’s still hope though. The first time I had the box up an owl didn’t show up until early April and last year the first egg was early-March. My box is on a pecan tree which hasn’t developed any leaves yet. I bet the wild temperature swings this winter messed them up. Good luck with yours too!
Bummer that it is, we’ll just have to wait and see what the owls want to do–they’ll wanna move in and raise their families or they’ll take their homesteading elsewhere. I’m only slightly broken-hearted, but there are worse things….
Our mama owl also laid her first egg early March of last year, the 6th as a matter of fact. Ain’t gonna happen this year though.
I called my friend in Kerrville to ask about her mountain laurel. So far, it’s buds only up there, but she is ten miles out of town toward Medina, and up in the hills, so that makes sense. Her laurels are huge, and she’s promised to call when they begin their bloom, so I can make pilgrimage.
You may not know that I had a pet squirrel once, and still have unbounded affection for the critters. You can read about my little guy here. Who knew that squirrels could become mean drunks? The stories I could tell about that squirrel are numerous — including his turning the ice maker’s water tube into his personal water fountain. Sigh.
The baby lizards are everywhere right now. Some are only a couple of inches long, and they’re cute little guys (and girls, too, I suppose). And what I thought was mold or fungus on burned wood down on the prairie may in fact have been the larvae of green lacewings. As soon as I can make a positive ID, I’ll have photos posted. BugGuide, here I come!
I do hope you can see (and smell!) the Mt. laurel blooms–it’s a spring rite of passage! Mine have mostly faded, thought there are a few left. I know lots of folks love to hate squirrels, but I really find them charming–so smart and crafty, they keep us on our toes. I love your squirrel story–absolutely loved it! Did he live with you until his days were over? I’ve known a couple of other people who’ve raised squirrels and have funny stories about them. I volunteered for Austin Wildlife Rescue a while back and my favorite critters were the squirrels for all the reasons one can imagine. I should get back to that, that’s a good organization.
Yes, he was with us for eight years — raised from closed-eyes-no-hair babyhood. He died of congestive heart failure. How do we know that? You’d be surprised what specialist vets can do these days — for truly irrational amounts of money.
Sounds like you allowed him a nice life and he certainly left you with great memories. I love veterinarians, but yeah, drive by their places for our beloved pets and the wallets are lighter.
Lovely blue bee shots Tina. I wonder why so many of your bees are such bright metallic shades? Things look to be definitely waking up in your garden.
Hmm, I can’t answer that question. I will say that I’ve been astounded at the variety of native bees I’ve identified since I started paying attention and allowing my garden space to be welcoming to them.
Believe it or not, we have Monk Parakeets living in Chicago also. You’d think they would fly south, but maybe they find the cold weather bracing.
Wow, that’s amazing. I guess they’re hardy critters! | 2019-04-18T22:57:15 | https://mygardenersays.com/2017/02/28/spring-forward-wildlife-wednesday-march-2017/ |
A good friend of the Institute for Historical Review, John Schmitz, has died. The former US Congressman, Marine Corps officer and political science teacher is remembered with respect by both friend and foe alike as an articulate, witty and fervent champion of his conservative principles.
He died of cancer on January 10, 2001, at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, surrounded by his family. He was 70. His body was laid to rest with military honors at Arlington National Cemetery.
Schmitz attended at least two IHR Conferences, and was a subscriber for many years to the IHR’s Journal of Historical Review. From time to time bought extra copies to give away to friends.
He provided crucial help to the Institute during the difficult Ninth IHR Conference in February 1989. A day before the meeting was set to begin, the southern California hotel where it was to be held cancelled the contract, caving in to threats and intimidation by the Jewish Defense League (JDL). Another hotel was quickly found, but it too succumbed to JDL intimidation. Following the two cancellations, and with no alternative hotel willing to stand up to JDL threats, the speakers and attendees who were arriving from across the country and abroad had no place to meet. It seemed that the Conference might be cancelled just as it was to begin. In this emergency, Schmitz contacted Joe Bischof, a friend who owned the Old World shopping center in nearby Huntington Beach. Bischof graciously offered his facilities, and the Ninth IHR Conference – one of the most spirited ever – was held in a packed basement meeting room, in spite of continued harassment by JDL thugs.
John George Schmitz was born in August 1930 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the US Marine Corps in 1952. After earning his pilot wings in 1954, he was assigned to a base in North Carolina, flying F2H4 Banshees and F9F8 Cougars in the first operational Marine Corps jet fighter squadron. He subsequently qualified as a helicopter pilot, served as officer in charge of a unit in Mt. Fuji, Japan. For a time he lectured on Communism at the Fleet Marine Force Pacific Leadership School at the El Toro Marine Corps base in southern California. In the Reserves, he rose to the rank of Colonel, and served as commanding officer of a unit at the El Toro base.
He first made headlines in 1962 while stationed in southern California as a Marine officer. With nothing more than the sheer authority of his voice, he disarmed an attacker who was stabbing a woman near the El Toro base.
His career in public service – which would eventually span 18 years – began in 1964 when, at the age of 34, he was elected as the Republican state senator from Orange County, then nationally known as a conservative bastion. He was reelected two years later.
Throughout his political career, Schmitz was a steadfast supporter of such causes as limited government, states’ rights, and a strong national defense, and a staunch opponent of abortion and Communism. When asked about his principled conservatism, Schmitz explained that the “middle of the road” is determined by how far either side, left or right, is willing to push.
Schmitz is not a man to make enemies easily. Unlike many with firm and unyielding principles, he can disagree without being disagreeable. He has won the grudging respect even of political foes. With all who share his deep and abiding concern about the future of individual liberty in America, he accentuates common interests while stirring admiration for his refusal to compromise on fundamentals... A constant imp of humor leavens his earnestness and dogged sense of purpose. Few who meet him can dislike him.
During the 1972 campaign, he often repeated his simple, three-point platform: One, in foreign affairs, we should always treat our friends better than our enemies; Two, never go to war unless you plan on winning; Three, domestically, those who work ought to live better than those who won’t.
In 1978 he returned to the California state senate after election as a Republican representing Newport Beach.
Schmitz’ sometimes tragic personal and family life also made headlines. His political career came to sudden end in 1982 after it was revealed that he had a pregnant mistress and 15-month old son by the woman, who had been his student in a political science class he taught at Santa Ana College. In 1997 one of his daughters, Mary Kay LeToureau, a married teacher in Washington state at the time, was convicted of carrying on a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old pupil, by whom she eventually had two children.
Schmitz received a Bachelor’s degree from Marquette University in 1952 with a major in philosophy and a minor in history, and, after attending night classes, a Master’s degree in 1960 from California State University at Long Beach. He was a Ph.D. candidate in Political Philosophy at Claremont Graduate School, and did a sabbatical at Georgetown University. Following his active duty in the Marine Corps and throughout his years of elected public service, he taught political science and philosophy at Santa Ana College in southern California, retiring as a professor in 1990.
Among his publications are two books: The Viet Cong Front in the United States (1971); and Stranger in the Arena: The Anatomy of an Amoral Decade 1964–1974 (1974). He also wrote the Introduction to Gary Allen’s best-seller, None Dare Call It Conspiracy (1971).
Schmitz also played the violin, was an able political cartoonist, and painter of Orange County seascapes. He was a devout Roman Catholic. In recent years he devoted much time to the family-owned vineyard, “Chapelle Charlemagne,” in Rappahannock County, Virginia.
John and his wife of 47 years, Mary, had seven children. Two of their sons are lawyers in the Washington, DC, area. In addition to his wife and children, Schmitz is survived by numerous grand-children, as well as five brothers and sisters in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area.
He will be missed by his many friends and admirers.

We visited Bournemouth (Andrew and Maria’s hotel still wonderful – but the big deck chair has been replaced by the landing platform for a zip wire) at half term. I was not allowed to visit either Brownsea Island, or go on the chain ferry so great to hear and see your account. We did drive around Sanbanks and saw a lot of kite surfing in action.
We have enjoyed reading all 4 sailing blogs and seeing the photos again. At last a really clear photo of Tante Helena in Shotley Marina! So pleased that Geraldine could join you for the final mile. | 2019-04-21T22:28:59 | http://www.auntiehelen.co.uk/jamess-summer-curise-part-3-south-coast-of-england/ |
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | Fidel Castro loathes anyone who champions freedom and democracy, but for Vladimiro Roca, who was freed this week after nearly five years in prison, he harbors a particular hatred.
Roca is a scion of Cuba's communist elite. His father was Blas Roca, a founding father of the Cuban Communist Party and a member of Castro's inner circle until his death in 1987. Vladimiro -- he was named after Lenin -- was raised in privilege, trained as a fighter pilot in the Cuban Air Force, then entered the University of Havana to study economics. If anyone had cause to embrace the communist "revolution," this Cuban princeling did. But the more Roca saw of Castro's corruption and despotism, the more repelled he was by the system his father had helped create.
In 1991 Roca founded the Social Democratic Party -- a dangerous act of defiance in a country where only the Communist Party is legal. In 1997, he and three other Cuban dissidents -- Marta Beatriz Roque, Felix Bonne, and Rene Gomez -- wrote "The Homeland Belongs to Us All," a manifesto calling for democratic elections, respect for human rights, and greater economic freedom. For that insult to Cuba's dictatorship, the four were arrested and eventually convicted of "inciting sedition." Roca's co-authors were sentenced to four years in prison and were released in May 2000 after serving half their terms.
But Castro did not let Roca off so easily. The ex-MiG pilot drew a sentence of five years, and spent more than two of them in solitary confinement. When he was released on Sunday, he had served all but 10 weeks of his term.
This "early release" was widely seen as a goodwill gesture to former President Jimmy Carter, who is scheduled to visit Cuba next week. This is a favorite conceit of dictators: the notion that releasing an unjustly convicted prisoner or two makes a nice gift with which to welcome a visiting dignitary -- like a fruit basket, only cheaper. Carter should make it clear that Roca's liberty is not a "gift" of the government but his inalienable human right, and insist that every political prisoner in Castro's jails be released unconditionally.
It can be difficult for Americans, who take their civil liberties for granted, to grasp just how abominably the Castro regime treats courageous and honest Cubans. Roca is finally free, but hundreds of others remain behind bars because they dared speak the truth about Castro's ugly system. Here is the story of one of them.
In 1989, Francisco Chaviano Gonzalez -- like countless others over the years -- tried to flee Cuba on a raft. The right to leave is fundamental in international law ("Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own" -- Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 13), but in Cuba it is harshly suppressed. Chaviano was caught and sent to prison, where he formed the Cuban Rafters Council to provide solidarity to others in the same position. After his release, he began trying to document the many thousands of men, women, and children who had died trying to cross the Florida Straits -- all of whom were treated as nonpersons by the Cuban government.
That was eight years ago. Today, he is locked in the maximum-security Combinado del Este prison; his wife is permitted to visit him once every two months. His health has deteriorated -- he suffers from an ulcer and respiratory problems -- but his ideals remain intact. "His spirit is strong," his wife told me recently. "He gives me strength."
In his 1977 inaugural address, President Carter declared, "Because we are free, we can never be indifferent to the fate of freedom elsewhere." Nowhere in the hemisphere is the fate of freedom more dire than in Cuba, where decent men are punished for their decency. Castro would like the world to forget that men like Francisco Chaviano are in his jails. When he visits Cuba next week, Carter must make sure they are remembered. | 2019-04-23T08:06:44 | http://www.jewishworldreview.com/jeff/jacoby051002.asp |
Live on coffee and flowers / Try not to think what the weather will be | Hej, I'm Caroline.
It’s not really the biggest secret that Notting Hill with its colorful houses and the famous Portobello Market is one of the most beautiful spots in London. Yet on Saturdays, I always found it a little too crowded, a little too busy and just a little to much. So it struck me even more to see by what quiet beauty it’s surrounded on week days. I literally couldn’t stop raving over all the little boutiques, cafés and the sort of lazy artistic feeling that was all over the streets.
It just seems like the perfect place to relax with a good cup of tea (what seems like the only thing I ever talk about now), a lovely friend with lots of super important things to talk over and a future that is just waiting to be filled with exciting plans and visions. | 2019-04-23T00:22:39 | https://carolineschmitt.net/2012/03/09/live-on-coffee-and-flowers-try-not-to-think-what-the-weather-will-be/ |

So many of us walked into that open door and found ourselves at home in the circle. “There is an immediate sense of trust and respect and everyone feels belonged.” From 3 people sitting in silence on a Wednesday evening in a home in Santa Clara, Awakin circles have organically spread to 100+ cities around the world and every week so many people come together to co-create the circle. One person at our circle recently shared, “It’s small and yet it is so big!”. I don’t think I can find the right words to describe the extraordinariness of the ordinary Awakin circles. Which is why we asked Awakin hosts from around the world to share their reflections of 2018. Below are some highlights from those reflections!
Reflecting on the 10th year anniversary of Awakin circles in London, Trishna wrote, “My simple intention was to hold space together with others who resonate with these values, trusting and knowing that this would nourish my own journey in a deep way.” And nurtured and nourished, they have.
As we open our doors to strangers and welcome them in, it is not just our homes but also our hearts that open up. Personally I’ve found a deeper connection to myself just by being present to the circle. The collective one hour of silence has also helped me keep up with my personal daily practice. Every Wednesday has been an opportunity to grow deeper in service. Nhi says it has led to widen and purify her heart as she welcomes strangers, confronts her own fears and insecurities, and puts her heart in preparing the space and cooking food.
But hosting Awakin circles in itself has been a skill to learn. As Joserra points out it takes a lot of observing, a lot of listening, a lot of being, and a lot of so many invisible things to be an effortless Awakin anchor. It seems simple and yet it is not. There is a constant effort behind it. It has also been a practice in letting go of any expectations and being open to sudden occurrences — who will come, how many will come, will there be enough food?
Honestly, I'm not sure anymore what I like most about the Circles, the silence, your cooking, the intellectual depth or being exposed to such various intellectual exercises, new horizons and new ideas... Awakin Circles are making my Wednesday evenings worthwhile."
In Ahemdabad recently when it so happened that the Awakin circle might had to canceled for the first time in 10 years because all the regular hosts were traveling, a group of regular members stepped up to prepare, cook, and host the circle all by themselves!
In Surat, Romania and other locations as well local volunteers have stepped in to ensure that the circles continue even when the regular hosts are not in town. In Paris, Caroline recently felt a deep sense of surrender to the process when she asked someone else to anchor for the first time.
A big highlight was how the circles over time have expanded to include families of many hosts — parents, spouses, siblings, and even children who were earlier unwilling or unaware of meditation have found a deep connection to the circles. Cristine’s son; my parents, Giang’s mother, Nhi’s family and another anchor’s daughter with Asperger’s Syndrome. Nhi shared a beautiful and intimate moment experienced by her 15 year old niece after the circle when she went and asked people for hugs!
“Can I give you a hug?
In Surat they started a whole new Awakin circle just for the kids!
Without anyone saying, “this is the way things work!”; Awakin circles have inspired so many stories of kindness and generosity. People regularly bring gifts to the circle like food, material, notes of encouragement but in Burgos one person brought a home! In London, a lot has unfolded since the first Awakin circle in 2008 and a beautiful community has come together hosting retreats, special circles, Kindful kids retreats and much more. In Surat, also a beautiful community has emerged and various projects have rippled from Awakin circles like a monthly Karma Kitchen, Awakin for Kids, and Kids retreat. In Ahemdabad, Kishan started weekly prayer circles in his office; in Coimbatore a new community meditation center is coming up. In Vietnam and Vienna, more circles are starting and people are also joining from afar! In France, informal connection are building up between people connected with service space through different ways. In Romania, slowly a beautiful community is building around the circles. Smile cards and Smile decks have now been translated in local languages!
Over the years, Awakin circles have hosted and transformed so many us who just showed up. Elders, friends, families and kids too have nourished us with their wisdom and gifts not just through the weekly Awakin readings (and their translations) but also through their reflections.
Whoever comes in is deeply touched by the pure intention of the circles and their experience ripples out in ways beyond projects and initiatives. A young boy once came to Harsh’s home for Awakin with an intention to not share anything and ended up reflecting for 90 mins! What happens when you get the gift of genuinely being heard? A smile to a stranger, a hug to a neighbor, a donation to a charity, an hour at the shelter home, an intention to leave the door open, or signing up for 10 day sits… everyone is moved to volunteer and pay forward the generosity.
The design of the Awakin circle is so simple that everyone can join but in this simplicity lies its real power of transformation. The collective stillness, the wisdom reading, the heartfelt sharing, the deep listening, and the meal cooked and shared with so much love — everything flows and touches all.
Neeti once said, “It is not us who host the circles but it the circle that hosts us.” As Meghna says, the circle doesn't just hold “persons”, it holds their families, their thoughts, their joys, their sorrow, their journey, their lineages. So when we show up, what are we showing up to? Are we present to them? It is the simultaneous holding of the intention and the attention, that makes these circles so powerful.
These are just some of the stories from the reflections shared by the hosts. These circles have provided a sacred and safe space to hold, heal, nurture, and nourish many. There is so much inspiration in all the Awakin stories shared over the years that bringing it all in one post was beyond my skill-set! I am ever so grateful for the community that holds us with so much grace and noble friends to support each other in this journey of stillness and silence.
…and then at the end of it all, "there’s always the right amount of food" to nourish our bellies and our souls!
Thanks for bring us together in this beautiful recap, Ashima!
Grateful to you Ashima, hope to cross paths with you in person one day, sorry to miss you at BG!
Beautifull recap of Awakin Circle highlights from the lens of anchors around the world, thanks so much for sharing this glimpse into the magic that unfolds in living rooms around the world!

Around the time of launching Fiasp, Novo Nordisk embarked on a wider study of its use in Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII), or pumping as we more commonly know it. This study, similar to others in the study of Fiasp, was designated ONSET 5 and launched in July 2016, completing in July 2017.
Faster aspart effectively improved HbA1c, and noninferiority to IAsp was confirmed, with superior PPG control for mealtime faster aspart versus IAsp. Subjects randomized to postmeal faster aspart for all meals maintained HbA1c noninferior to that obtained with mealtime IAsp.
or in other words, it turned out to be quite the panacea when administered in MDI.
40% of Fiasp users suffered unexplained hyperglycaemia as opposed to 25% of the Novorapid users. Of those, six were unexplained, and seven were thought to be occlusion related, which was later disproved.
I also noted that the longer term pump trial would be very interesting in its outcomes given some of these short term issues.
Onset 5 has now completed, and the results of that trial are publicly available on the US National Library of Medicine Clinical Trials website and make for interesting reading. And so far, although the data was published on July 24th 2018, I’ve seen little to no fanfare as to the outcomes. So why is that?
The summary of the data published is that when used with CSII, whilst Fiasp demonstrates a faster action time, the indicators of variability in user glucose levels, different physiological requirements with the insulin and adverse effects on pump sites are still in evidence, and appear to back up the experiences of many people who have reported issues. Read on for the more detailed information.
Firstly, let’s review the positive outcomes from the trial, looking at the secondary outcome of post-prandial glucose measures.
Taking a look at the study, there were initially 472 participants (all of whom had an Hba1C between 7.0% and 9.0%) and the study was double-blind and randomized. 233 completed the Fiasp arm and 230 completed the Insulin Aspart (Novorapid) arm. The study ran for 16 weeks, and the baselines were established using a range of rapid acting insulins.
Meal test: The subjects were given a carbohydrate-rich standardised liquid meal immediately after bolus (faster aspart or NovoRapid®) infusion in the morning of the meal test. The subjects were to consume the meal as quickly as possible (within 12 minutes) and blood samples were drawn after 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours from the start of the meal.
That’s right. We’re bolusing both Novorapid and Fiasp immediately before the meal.
What it shows is that Fiasp reduced post-prandial glucose levels by a maximum of 7.0%, compared to Novorapid having a maximum increase of 4.1%, both versus the baseline. At any point in the data presented, Fiasp’s post-prandial glucose lowering effect was between 8.8% and 10% greater than Novorapid over the first two hours. It also suggests that Novorapid is possibly worse than other rapid-acting insulins that were also in use when the baseline was established.
Fiasp’s time of action is faster than Novorapid, as demonstrated by the reduction from baseline compared to Novorapid.
Fiasp’s effect may not be as significant as many first thought, at least when used with CSII.
I’ve just focused on this particular outcome for the speed and area under the curve outcomes, but it’s safe to say that Fiasp performs faster than Novorapid in all of these tests. And that’s what we’re expected to take away.
It is also worth noting that the Fiasp users experienced nearly seven minutes less than their baseline time with glucose levels below 3.9mmol/l compared with the Novorapid cohort that spent just under three minutes more.
It’s when you look at some of the other outcomes that it becomes less clear. So let’s start with the primary outcome.
Now I’ve railed against this particular choice many times, but leaving that aside for the moment, the, the mean baseline for both Novorapid and Fiasp was 7.49%, with a Standard Deviation (SD) for the Fiasp group of 0.55 and the Novorapid (NR) group of 0.53.
In the primary outcome, although the numbers themselves are tiny, Fiasp appears to have performed worse than Novorapid.
Non-inferiority of faster aspart was considered confirmed if the upper limit of the two-sided 95 % CI for the true treatment-difference D (faster aspart minus NovoRapid®) was below 0.4 %.
So although I don’t have access to this data, based on the above statistical analysis, Fiasp is considered non-inferior to Novorapid, even though the treatment outcome numbers appear to be marginally inferior. More information regarding how non-inferiority tests work and why non-inferiority can be stated can be found in this article.
For the purposes of this article, I’ll group the other outcomes into three groups – variability measures, physiological indicators and adverse indications. There’s quite a lot here, so I’ll endeavour to keep it relatively brief.
In terms of variability measures, I’m referring to indications for Time in Range, time spent in Hyper- or Hypo- glycaemia, and importantly the standard deviations around these. So let’s start with the time in range measure.
For the Fiasp cohort, Time in Range for both 4.0mmol/l-10mmol/l and 4.0mmol/l-7.8mmol/l was not as good as that for the Novorapid cohort, with the added point that the standard deviation was wider on the Fiasp cohort. The difference in time in range works out at around two percentage points in both cases, but the standard deviation shows a roughly 10% wider spread for Fiasp than for Novorapid.
The Fiasp cohort also spent more time in a hyperglycaemic state (described as >10mmol/l and higher) than the Novorapid cohort (2,018, or 6% more incidents >10mmol/l), whilst having a marginally reduced proportion of time in hypoglycaemia.
Summarising these, it appears that the variability measures show that the Fiasp cohort experienced more variability than the Novorapid cohort.
When I refer to physiological indicators, I’m talking about variables such as Total Daily Dose, Carb Ratio, Sensitivity Factor, additional Hba1C outcomes and others on the list of things that are indicators of or requirements for carb counting. These were listed as secondary outcomes in ONSET 5.
Let’s start with the reduced Hba1C measures. Two of the outcomes related to an Hba1C below 7%/53mmol/mol. In both of these, Novorapid performed better than Fiasp. The most notable being where the Hba1C was lowered to <7% without severe hypos, where only 18.6% of participants achieved that on Fiasp while 22.5% achieved it on Novorapid.
There was a lot of data collected looking at insulin units per day for basal, bolus and total. These figures are largely irrelevant, in that absolute unit comparisons fail to take into account the differences between users. We also have mean insulin units per kg of bodyweight per day, which may be a more useful indicator.
You can see that there is very little difference between the two insulins in terms of units per kg of bodyweight per day, at either basal or bolus level, although Fiasp does show a wider spread on the variance.
If we then take the mean insulin carb ratio, we see that Fiasp needed more insulin per gram of carbs than Novorapid, however, for once the variability around the mean was greater for Novorapid.
Glucose sensitivity factor is also reviewed, and in that case, Fiasp users showed marginally more sensitivity but with wider variation than the Novorapid users.
In addition, the “Active Insulin Time” for both was given as 3.6 hours. Given the half life (according to Novo Nordisk) for both insulins is 57 minutes, this would be the point at which 10% of the insulin remained in the average person’s body. I guess what we can take from this is that the researchers felt that once you get below 10% you will not see any insulin activity (even though, as we’ve found from looping experience and larger boluses, this isn’t necessarily the case).
All in all, the physiological indicators appear to show little difference between the two, and if anything, it’s the wider variation in the Fiasp data that stands out.
The EMA report highlighted a significant increase in pump site issues compared to Novorapid, so in this section we look at the adverse outcomes section of the clinical trial and see if these were perpetuated.
an event that has an onset date on or after the first day of exposure to randomised treatment (in week 0), and no later than seven days after the last day of randomised treatment (i.e., maximum week 16 + 7 days). The results are based on the on-treatment period.
Fiasp had 440 compared to 412 for Novorapid, or 6.8% more.
We see from this that more than twice as many Fiasp cohort participants suffered infusion site reactions than Novorapid cohort participants and that on a per person basis, Fiasp users had 13.7% more incidents per affected person.
There were 1,185 unexplained cases of hyperglycaemia for Fiasp versus 1,058 for Novorapid, which is a 12% increase. Compared to what was seen in the EMA 6-week trial, however, this is substantially lower.
What stands out here is that 44% more Fiasp users had at least one issue with infusion sets than Novorapid users for reason 2, and that in general, 23% more Fiasp users made at least one irregular change to infusion sets than Novorapid users for any reason.
Notably, in this trial, there were similar numbers of perceived occlusions between the two cohorts, unlike the EMA results, where the Fiasp cohort perceived significantly more.
Even using CSII, in general, Fiasp works more quickly than Novorapid, in line with the MDI results.
Variability of results across the Fiasp cohort on CSII is noticeably higher than that for the Novorapid cohort.
The number of adverse events, especially relating to site issues, is higher in the Fiasp cohort than the Novorapid cohort.
The greater variability in many of the results, displayed by a larger standard deviation, and the increase in adverse effects suggests that Fiasp isn’t a one-for-one swap with Novorapid, and similarly is unlikely to be for Humalog or Apidra. There is plenty of “in the wild” user experience to back this up.
There’s also an aside in the Novorapid vs Baseline measures that suggests that Novorapid is probably slower than other rapid-acting insulins in its action, as the Novorapid vs Baseline post-prandial readings resulted in worse outcomes for Novorapid than baseline.
Overall, I’m not sure the outcomes of this trial present an overwhelming argument to move the majority of users onto Fiasp. Whilst for a significant proportion of users, it clearly works without problems, even this controlled trial shows that there are differences between it and the older rapid-acting insulins that are likely to make it more difficult for some to use.
The significant increase in unexpected infusion set changes with Fiasp use is something worth noting, and I think demonstrates some commonality with real world experience of Fiasp. It would have been good to see not only how many participants had unexpected changes, but how many there were per participant.
I’d suggest that education about some of the issues that were presented in the trial should be given to users before they switch to Fiasp in order to fore-arm them and give them some guidance as to what might work best.
But overall, Onset 5 is not a compelling case to move pump users to Fiasp in its own right, and given the faster onset that should, in theory provide better performance, that’s mighty disappointing. And that maybe why the results have taken far longer than I was expecting to see the light of day.
Hi there, I was one of the patients on the Onset 5 trial, and despite being a blind trial I was reasonably convinced at the time that I was using the faster acting insulin as I had hypo’s fairly regularly in the early days. Similarly the speed at which it brought excess blood sugar down was impressive. However, I didn’t see too many of the side effects that have been mentioned during the trial – I did see some site reactions and premature site ‘death’ but I had similar issues in my early days using the pump, and I was genuinely sad to be going back to Novorapid at the end of the trial..
Whilst this is a totally non scientific comment, it is interesting to see the results published and your analysis of them. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback Mark. Always good to hear the experiences of someone on the trial.
Even though my endo tells me not to mix insulins, I run 50/50 Humalog/Fiasp in my pump (with OpenAPS) and consider things really good. It works faster for sure, but without the site issues (I change every 3 days). | 2019-04-26T04:30:44 | http://www.diabettech.com/insulin/fiasp-and-the-onset5-csii-trial-what-novo-nordisk-found/?replytocom=5223 |
The past month has been one of the busiest I've ever experienced in a while. With the start of a new semester and a second part-time job, I've had little free time, which has been eaten up by studying, writing, or falling asleep with my glasses on while watching The West Wing before bed. If I didn't have my Moleskine daily planner, I would probably be a mess. Going into 2017 I set a lot of personal goals for myself, and two weeks ago I was able to cross one off of my list. I got my driving permit. Now before you put two and two together and come to the conclusion that I'm twenty years old and don't have my license yet - consider the fact that not everyone can get their license in high school for a variety of reasons. I'm not going to get too much into the personal details - but a large factor that affected my want/desire to drive was anxiety. For years I have been afraid to drive; more specifically, afraid of screwing up when I did get behind the wheel. Up until recently I would think to myself, Oh my God, how am I expected to be in charge of this huge piece of machinery and not die somehow? Note that this thought was probably inspired by the few times I went to Dave & Buster's as a kid and failed miserably at the race car simulation games - and by fail miserably, I mean steering my car to the side of the road, crashing it, and watching it explode before my eyes as the screen flashed Game Over. But I know that driving is going to make my life so much easier, so that ultimately ruled out the anxiety factor. As much as I love walking, and pretending that I'm in an indie film whenever a ray of sun shines down on me on the bus while I have my headphones in......driving is something that I cannot procrastinate any longer.
Two Wednesdays ago I went home after class and took practice tests online for two and a half hours and went to the BMV. An hour later, I came out with a more legitimate form of photo ID. I passed! I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, and the whole way home I couldn't stop smiling. It's important to remember that the small victories are worth celebrating too. The girl who took my photo was clearly looking out for me because she made me retake it, and now I can proudly say that flash photography and washed out lighting has worked in my favor. Here's to more girls having each other's backs in 2017!
An important takeaway from this past month is the acknowledgement of completely blissful moments - moments where I felt insanely happy and alive, moments where my anxiety wasn't holding me back. I've been in fight-or-flight mode for a long time, and because of that I would always fear something bad happening to me after I did something to enjoy myself, or that if I did something fun it would get in the way of the things I needed to do and set me back somehow. It's been hard for me to live in the moment and remember that I do have time to achieve my goals. That's not a good feeling to carry around with you. At some point in the past month or so I let go of that fear and stopped being afraid. I stopped being afraid to completely be myself, and I stopped being afraid to let myself enjoy things. Anxiety planted roots deep inside of me, and rather than trying to rip them out all at once, I had to be patient.
Since I graduated high school it's been easy to let myself believe that I'm alone, especially in times of turmoil. It's been easy to feel like that now, since I'm in a pattern of school, work, study, sleep, repeat, and currently healing from losing someone I love. But in the past week I've gotten to spend time with two of my best friends, and I'm incredibly thankful. I'm a strong believer in the fact that life isn't worth living if you don't have someone to share it with - and no, I don't mean that nothing is worth experiencing unless you have a significant other - I mean that if you have people who support you, who make you feel beautiful without even saying anything, who remind you of your strength instead of undermining it, who just understand what you're about - spend as much time with them as possible.
Last Saturday it was a seasonably warm February day in Cleveland (hello again, climate change), so Arbela and I spent the day downtown, taking pictures and exploring our city. It was my first time going out in a month, and it was such a gorgeous day. We went to a shop that makes flowers out of paper, the Cleveland Public Library, and walked around for hours. At the end of golden hour, we were driving on the Shoreway listening to the most recent Lumineers album with the windows down, and it felt so amazing being there, letting go of the things that were on my mind and singing loudly as the sun began to dip down towards Lake Erie.
Yesterday after my last class, I took the bus to my hometown to see my best friend Carla. We became close towards the end of our senior year of high school and since then we've watched each other grow and go through a lot. She's one of the strongest people I know, and it's comforting to know that we relate to each other on so many levels. Usually when we hang out we run errands, and at some point we always end up in the home section of Target or Marshall's daydreaming about our future apartment, lusting over throw pillows and candles. And of course we end up driving around listening to music - last night we cranked up "I Don't Want to Live Forever" by Zayn & Taylor Swift. I'll say it once, I'll say it a million times: one of the best places to be is in the passenger seat of your best friend's car.
If you think you've peaked, climb a new mountain.
My home page, about page, and where to find me page have all been updated! Shoutout to Arbela for taking the photos you'll see there! Check out her writing on Medium: https://medium.com/@arbela_ec!
I'm going to New York next month to see another good friend of mine, and you best believe I'll be laying down my MasterCard at the Strand.
Shameless self-promotion, but my other love aside from writing is photography, so check out my Instagram (there are a couple of photos on display in my sidebar). I'm going to start adding photo diary posts here in the future, so be on the look out!
Thank you for reading this far, whoever you all are. My last couple of posts were heavy so I figured it was time to be upbeat. I hope you're all doing well, and if you have midterms coming up, good luck! | 2019-04-25T10:23:17 | https://www.graceuninterrupted.com/blog/2017/02/24/life-from-the-passenger-seat |
BEIJING, CHINA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/29/14 -- Mountain China Resorts (Holding) Limited (TSX VENTURE: MCG) ("MCR" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. MCR reports its results in Canadian Dollars.
With winter operations ended in March and summer operations to be started in July, second quarter has been the traditional slack season for MCR. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company generated revenues from resort operations of $0.001 million and a net loss of $2.12 million or $0.01 per share compared to revenue of $0.08 million and a net loss of $5.51 million or $0.02 per share in 2013. Total revenue and the net results were from resort operations with no real estate sales revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Resort Operations EBITDA for 2014 second quarter was $0.26 million compared to negative $0.85 million last year.
Resort operations expenses totaled $0.86 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $0.74 million in 2013. Operations expenses within the resorts are mainly attributable to snow making, grooming, staffing, fuel and utilities, which also include the G&A expenses relating to the resort's senior management, marketing and sales, information technology, insurance and accounting.
Other income totaled $1.31 million (2013: 0.09 million), which mainly consists of income of $1.22 million (RMB 7 million) of government subsidy received for the bank loan interest of Harbin Commercial Bank paid by the Company up to October, 2013. Another major components of other income include $0.09 million (2013 - $0.08 million) recognized from the deposit by Club Med for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Corporate general and administrative expenses ("G&A expenses") totaled $0.19 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.28 million in 2013. This amount mainly comprised executive employee costs, public company costs, and corporate information technology costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations totaled $1.38 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2.77 million in 2013. Decrease in depreciation and amortization was mainly caused by certain properties being fully depreciated in the first quarter of 2014. Those properties including furnishing constructions of hotels and some furniture bought in the first quarter of 2009 with an expected useful life of 5 years. No renewing work are required as those constructions and furniture are still in good condition and can be used in resort operations.
The Company incurred financing cost of $1.60 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.58 million in 2013. Financing costs mainly related to the loan interests, accretion expenses of convertible bonds, and also included bank administrative fee and service charge.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.18 million and working capital deficiency was $94.30 million as at June 30, 2014.
The Company's 2012-2013 Sun Mountain Yabuli Resort winter season operations commenced on November 24, 2012 and closed on March 24, 2013. In comparison, the 2013-2014 winter season operations commenced on November 29, 2013 and closed on March 23, 2014. The revenue of Sun Mountain Yabuli Resort operation comprises mainly by mountain operation, beverage, skiing-related services and hotel lodging. Skiing-related services includes rental of ski equipment, goggles, lockers, gloves, etc, sales of ski equipment and skiing training services offered in the ski school. It also includes the mountain operation which is using the facilities built in the mountain, such as sight-seeing trams, snow tubing and alpine.
As the 2013-2014 winter operations ended in March. There were no resorts operations in the second quarter. The 2014 summer operations started on July 5th, and finished on August 31th. Preparation work including staffing, procurement, sanitation and equipment maintenance were undertook in the second quarter. Management provides a more detailed analysis on revenue and future prospects in its 2014 Interim Management Discussion and Analysis.
By the end of Fiscal 2010, the Company had finished working on the exterior decoration of the 55 villas of which three were completed with interior finishing. At this time of the reporting date, certain construction is still needed on the exterior grounds to complete lighting, roads and utility connections. The Company had not been successful in selling any of the villas. Management is of the opinion that in order to complete sales, it is necessary to first complete the exterior construction. Management estimated these additional construction costs to be at least $4.50 million.
In 2013, general political environment further affected tourism related real estate industry negatively. A few other similar projects in ski resort areas in China started marketing and the outcome were quite frustrating. Those projects include Qingyun Town in the Yabuli region, and real estate projects of Changbai Mountain. As of December 31, 2013, management was of the opinion that, even with additional costs to be invested to get the villas ready for sale, it is unlikely that the benefit will exceed the cost at this time. Therefore no further investment was made in 2013, and management did not expect any investment to be made in the near future. Judging from the current economic environment, management's opinion is that there is very limited recoverable amount associated with the villas at the moment, and an impairment of $22.80 million was provided and reduced the carrying value of properties under construction to $1 as of December 31, 2013. As at June 30, 2014, the book value of properties under construction was still $1.
Despite of the current difficulty, the Company does have confidence with its first of a kind skiing in and skiing out villas in China. And the Company will be reasonably flexible with its pricing when the market shows sign of a turn around. No other detail milestones for the above matter are available from the Company as the related government policies are set to be temporary but with durations undetermined.
The Company has an accumulated deficit, a working capital deficiency and has defaulted on a bank loan, all of which cast a substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to meet its obligations as they fall due and to continue to operate as a going concern is dependent on further financing and ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company plans to fund its future operation by obtaining additional financing through loans, private placements and the sale of the properties under construction. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing or sell the properties under construction. The Company will need to settle with Construction Bank, either by negotiating new payment terms or by obtaining other financing to repay the debt in full. If they are not successful in doing so and the bank takes possession of the assets, the Company will no longer be able to continue operating the resort.
Despite of the financial difficulty posed by the overdue debts and continued loss, management is confident in the development of both the industry and the Company in the future. The government of Heilongjiang Province had demonstrated strong incentive to support the skiing industry and the Company by increasing local infrastructure investment. In June, 2014, the Company received $1.23 million (RMB 7 million) government subsidy for loan interest. Revenue from ClubMed in winter season has been growing steadily, and the Company will be the official partner and playing field of 2016 World Championships of Snowboarding. Management is also working on various means to attract new investments into the Company to complete the construction of villas and improve the capital structure of the Company.
There has been no substantial subsequent event up to the reporting date.
As the 2013-2014 winter operations ended in March. There were no resorts operations in the second quarter. The 2014 summer operations started on July 5th, and finished on August 31th. Preparation work including staffing, procurement, sanitation and equipment maintenance were undertook in the second quarter.
In March, 2014 the Company defaulted on its fourth principal payment of $8.61 million (RMB 50 million) under its $43.03 million (RMB 250 million) loan agreement with the China Construction Bank ("Construction Bank"). According to the Loan Agreement between Yabuli and Construction Bank, Construction Bank has the right to accelerate Yabuli's obligation to repay the entire unpaid principal plus interest immediately and to take legal actions to enforce on the security. The Company received a statement of claim demanding repayment in June 2013.
On April 22nd, 2014, the Company received a decision from the Higher People's Court of Heilongjiang Province stating that (1) the Company is obliged to pay off the principle of $39,583 (RMB 230 million) within 10 days of receipt of the decision; (2) the Company is obliged to pay off the accrued interest of $6,314 (RMB 36.69 million) which was accrued up December 21, 2013 within 10 days of receipt of the decision; (3) the Company should pay off the accrued interests between the actual settlement date and December 21, 2013; (4) If the Company did not pay off the debts within the required time, China Construction Bank will have the priority to recover the debts from the sales of pledged land use rights, property and equipment. As of June 30, 2014, the principal and interest owing was $47.70 million, and the collaterals associated with the loan agreement are made up of the Company's land use rights and property and equipment with a carrying value of approximately $54.23 million.
The Company has been negotiating with the bank to arrange for a debt restructuring plan, and as of the reporting date, no consensus has been arrived yet. Although the bank informally expressed their intention to maintain normal operations of the Company, there is no assurance that they will not take further actions in the future.
On February 14, 2012, the Company secured a bank loan for the amount of $24.09 million (RMB 140 million) from Harbin Commercial Bank (the "Original HCB Loan").
In order to improve the capital structure, management of the Company negotiated with the bank to extend the repayment schedule. In August 2013, the Company was notified by Harbin Commercial Bank that the bank had approved to extend the repayment schedule from three years to ten years (the "Adjusted HCB Loan"). According to the new arrangement the loan will mature in December 2022. The first installment of $0.52 million (RMB 3 million) was repayable in August 2013, and thereafter the Company will need to repay $2.41 million (RMB 14 million) each year for eight consecutive years (RMB 0.2 million in December and 13.8 million in February), and $4.30 (RMB 25 million) in the final year (RMB 0.4 million in December and 24.6 million in February). On February 28th, 2014, the company made payment of $2.37 million (RMB 13.8 million) as the third installment.
On February 8, 2012, the Company entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement with Melco Leisure and Entertainment Group Limited ("Melco" or "MLE") for the settlement of a loan in the principal of US$12 million (the "MCR Loan") and a loan in the principal of US$11 million (the "MCRI Loan") made by Melco to the Company and MCRI. MCR Loan and MCRI loan (together "Melco Loans" or "MLE Loan") were borrowed in 2008. On May 29, 2012, the Company and Melco entered into Amended and Restated Debt Settlement Agreement ("the Agreement") to clarify details of the loan settlement mechanism and procedures to implement the settlement of the Melco Loans. On July 10, 2012, during the Company's Annual General Meeting, the Company obtained Shareholder Approval on the Agreement. The transactions contemplated under the Agreement have been approved by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Detailed settlement arrangement can be found in Note 14 of 2013 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Settlement procedures were started in the second quarter of 2013, and the Company paid $3.01 million ($2.5 million of loan principal and $0.51 million of interest) to MLE on May 31, 2013 as a partial fulfilment to its cash repayment obligation specified in the Agreement. The Company also filed for issuance of 20,600,000 (the "Issuance I") and 19,444,444 (the "Issuance II") common shares to its subsidiary MCRI on July 2, 2013 and July 23, 2013 respectively. Subject to the Agreement, the 20,600,000 shares issued in Issuance I are proposed to be transferred to MLE for full satisfaction of the MCRI Loan with the new principal amount of USD $14.9 million. According to the Company's initial contact with MLE, the US$3.5m Principal would be settled by conversion into 19,444,444 shares. Issuance II was then made for the purpose of settlement. However, after a series of negotiation, it is probable that management of MLE will choose to take up to the maximum of five villas on the basis of USD $0.7 million per villa as part of the settlement. Therefore, it is probable that the Issuance II will be later canceled accordingly. Furthermore, there is discrepancy in calculation of number of shares in relation to the Issuance II. As of the reporting date, the Company is still in negotiation with MLE on the details of the settlement.
On November 17, 2010, the Company announced its updates with respect to certain developments that have taken place with respect to its Changchun Resort. The government of Erdao district of Changchun city in the Jilin province of the People's Republic of China (the "Erdao Government") holds the view that the Changchun Resort, is still owned by the government and it may, through Changchun Lianhua Mountain Agricultural Project Development Company Limited ("CCL Agricultural"), manage the same to the Company's exclusion. The Company disagrees with the Erdao Government's position. The Company had engaged Global Law Office, a reputable law firm in PRC, to do legal due diligence on the assets before they were acquired by the Company. Global Law Office had advised the Company that the assets acquired are not state-owned assets and the same may be validly transferred to the Company. Because of CCL Agricultural's and the Erdao Government's action, the Company has been deprived of management of the Changchun Resort. The Company has engaged in discussions with the Erdao Government, Changchun Lianhua Mountain Sports & Travel Development Company Changchun Sports and CCL Agricultural with an aim of resolving this matter. As a result of the foregoing, the Company has lost control of the company itself and has therefore written off the full value of the assets and liabilities of Changchun Resort and reported it as a loss from discontinued operations as of December 31, 2010. In 2011, the Company commenced legal actions against the Erdao Government in an effort to regain control and ownership of the assets and operations.
The Company's legal department has sent three letters of formal complaint to the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China in June 2012, the Erdao Government, and Jilin Lianhua Tourist Committee. Recently, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China has assigned the case to the relevant authority called the Economic and Technological Cooperation Department of Jilin Province for handling. After a series of negotiations made and no consensus arrived as at reporting date, management had decided to start formal administrative prosecution process against the government. As at June 30, 2014, management had sent several letters of notice, but no formal prosecution has been started.

Throughout this news release we use certain non-IFRS measures such as the term "EBIDTA" to analyze operating performance. We define EBITDA as operating revenues less operating expenses from continuing operations and therefore reflect earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interest and any non-operating and non-recurring items. These non-IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-IFRS measures are referred to in this news release because we believe they are indicative measures of a company's performance and are generally used by investors to evaluate companies in the resort operations and resort development industries. Figures used in calculation of EBITDA are in compliance with IFRS, therefore no reconciliation is needed. | 2019-04-19T13:09:33 | http://cybersecurity.ulitzer.com/node/3166299 |
Thank you so much for visiting our site in your search for “Agorastoken ATM London” online. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there’s no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is simply a representation of worth, but there isn’t any real tangible kind of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their wealth will be managed. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers contend that there is “real” worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that’s, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time which is worth an ever declining amount of money or some form of benefit to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. Anyone who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a “wallet” file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades lives.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason for this could be simply that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible that the regulators simply don’t comprehend the technology and its consequences, anticipating any developments to act. In the case of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it may perhaps be exchanged being a commodity. Proponents of cryptocurrencies say that kind of digital cash is not handled by a central banking system and it is not therefore subject to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a minimal number of products, this money’s price is founded on market forces, enabling homeowners to trade over cryptocurrency deals. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of character of the process where it’s transacted. All exchanges over a crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. When youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something temporary where your visitors may dispute or require a discounts, or use unethical sleight of palm. In-practice, many traders would be a good idea to make use of a fee processor, because of the permanent character of crypto-currency deals, you must ensure that stability is challenging. With any form of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially get access to your personal recommendations and therefore steal your money. Unfortunately, you most likely will never get it back. It’s very important for you to undertake some great safe and sound methods when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing so will guard you from many of these unfavorable activities.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could grow dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that could result in company being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn’t necessary to comprehend how the process functions in and of itself, but it’s simply vital that you comprehend that there’s a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can only select to print unlimited quantities (I am not saying they are doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. You have probably noticed this often times where you typically spread the great word about crypto. “It is not unstable? What happens if the value crashes? ” to date, many POS programs gives free conversion of fiat, relieving some matter, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, many people will be reluctant to hold any. We must find a method to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. When searching on the internet forAgorastoken ATM London, there are many things to consider.

Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also take part in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. Since among the oldest forms of making money is in money lending, it is a fact that one can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you might be demanded fill in a captcha after a certain period of time and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don’t have a lot of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to think of an acceptable investment strategy. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which implies the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer couldn’t buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is just not to imply that markets are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there exists no need for large amounts of money to move market prices up or down. The merest occasions in the world market can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.

As promised by Massasoit, numerous Native Americans arrived at Plymouth throughout the middle of 1621 with pledges of peace.
On July 2, a party of Pilgrims, led by Edward Winslow (who later became the chief diplomat of the colony), set out to continue negotiations with the chief. The delegation also included Squanto, who acted as a translator. After traveling for several days, they arrived at Massasoit's capital, the village of Sowams near Narragansett Bay. After meals and an exchange of gifts, Massasoit agreed to an exclusive trading pact with the English (and thus the French, who were also frequent traders in the area, were no longer welcome). Squanto remained behind and traveled the area to establish trading relations with several tribes in the area.
After meeting in the Pilgrim village, Massasoit then invited a Pilgrim delegation to meet him at their place. Myles Standish and Isaac Allerton volunteered for the adventure. Massasoit gave to them ground nuts and tobacco as gifts when they arrived, and Standish and Allerton presented him with a kettle of peas. | 2019-04-26T09:42:22 | https://worldhistoryproject.org/1621/7/2/english-pilgrims-negotiate-exclusive-trading-pact-with-massasoit |

Should you let your phone charge overnight?
Your body refreshes itself at night as it prepares for a full day ahead. So why shouldn't your smartphone battery get the same treatment? Now, when you are fast asleep dreaming about the 2018 flagships, the cell inside your phone will charge for the two hours or so that it takes to get back to full strength. For the rest of the night, software will stop the charging process once the battery is back to 100%. This prevents damage that could be done to the battery by overcharging. But it doesn't prevent the battery from generating heat.
If you keep your phone under your pillow or blanket, or even inside a case at night while charging, you could be limiting the ability of your battery to charge up to full capacity. For example, if your battery hits a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit for a year, you will only recover 65% of the battery's capacity when you charge to 100%. Even more amazing, if your battery is running at 140 degrees Fahrenheit for just three months, the cell will lose 40% of its capacity.
The data shows that keeping your battery charged between 40% and 80% will allow it to have an optimal life, which suggests that a mid-afternoon power snack is a good thing for your phone's power cell. Charging overnight will not allow you to monitor this (unless you get up to pee every hour). So if you are going to let your phone charge up all night, make sure that it isn't covered by anything that would make the battery heat up unnecessarily, including a case.
I don't really charge my phones overnight because of this. Right now I'm using my old V20 just for the removable batteries when I'm on the go.
Recent Xperia devices provide a feture called Battery Care which learns your night time routines and then performs charging accordingly... It basically do a slow charge and it stops at 90% and then it will resume charging 30 minutes before your next alarm (or the time you usually unplug, whichever comes first).... And over a year with my Xperia XZ leaving it to charge over night up to 100% my battery life is currently at 98% of its original capacity (checked under service tests)... After experiencing this, I have truly appreciated the feature and would love to upgrade to phone that have something like this.
I charge overnight. I don’t want to babysit the phone battery by spot charging during the day. One less thing for me to worry about.
We definitely need new battery tech. I leave my Nexus 6 on the tylt wireless charger overnight, but now after 3 or so years my phone is starting to randomly shut down even right after taking it off the charger (but usually only when at work which is peculiar - battery says it's 97 or 98%). Damn...sure miss the good old days when you could change the battery in your phone as easily as ones in your flashlight.
Graphene batteries should be coming soon there are already powerbanks with them in it and also solid state batteries which are a few years off.
I think in this case it's less about new battery tech and more with new charging tech, or rather software. They could have something like the old Moto Actions, where you set a start/stop time for charging. If you plug in your device during that period, it will say charge up to 80%, then stop charging down to 50%, then charge to 80%, rinse and repeat. Then when it gets close to the end of the specified time, it will start charging to 100%. Consider it a smart or battery saving charging process. Something else to consider is the types of charging we have now. These fast, rapid, and dash charging setups will heat up the battery more than the older slow charging methods. Wireless/induction charging also generates more heat than the older slow charging, simply due to the induction process. Maybe they could simply allow you to choose a slower/lower output charging mode so it wouldn't affect the batteries as much charging overnight. Make it so it would take 6hrs to fully charge a dead battery, which shouldn't heat up the battery much. Just some thoughts.
So according to this, heat is the primary factor in battery degradation. Good to know.
So quick charges are probably very bad. I have a "special" cable/power brick that takes about 6 hrs to recharge. That's what I use overnight.
Avoid fast charger is the way to go.
I wirelessly charge my phone overnight. Takes longer than fast charging but it's better on the battery.
I tried wireless charge with Galaxy S7 before and it run hotter than wire. So I haven't used the wireless charger since then.
I think wireless chargers have their own heat dissipation issues. Just recently saw a YT vid on heat and wireless charging. Different path - same problem. Better battery tech definitely needed for all of us.
Suddenly feel so glad with Qnovo tech in my Xperia XZ Premium..
Answer: you may charge your phone overnight, just don't let it generate heat to avoid battery degradation.
Yeah? Keep alarm at midnight so your phone doesn't overcharge then.
I've always charged overnight and never had an issue. Taking my phone off the charger 5his morning fully charged they were at normal temperature.
Qnovo and Battery care inside Xperia should be the benchmark, pity that big names don't seem interested in improving the battery charging environment quality like Sony does.
Well, tell that to those crying that Sony is obsolete and should give up business; Waterproofing, anyone? Digital Noise Cancellation? Adaptive overnight battery charging? Super slow motion video? HDR 4K recording? Next time you enjoy one of these features in your Samsung, thank Sony for bringing them first.
Smart chargers... they work. Been using one with any charger on my Note 8. Still at 102% health from what AccuBattery says and have had my Note since launch.
The graphics is about battery storage not battery usage. It will show you how much capacity the battery will lose after 1 year stored at the following temps when left at 40 and 100% charge respectively. it is about battery STORAGE, not usage.
I used to always charge overnight. The Huawei Mate 9 has cured me of that though.
what people really need to do for charging issue is to buy a simple electric timer that will charge the device at night for max of 3 hours and then the problem is solved..
I NEVER charge my phone over night, or any rechargeable battery. They obviously are suppose to stop charging when full, but there have been many stories of phones catching on fire. Inside the charging circuit it is suppose to stop the charge. If that fails, the battery will overheat. At some point, the thermal fuse inside the battery is suppose to open (melt) to break the connection. If that fails, then the battery could potentially catch fire. It's not a risk, I am willing to take.
Quick Charging kills the battery as well. My HTC 10 will die when it reaches 33%. There were times where I'd be using Quick Charge, and the phone would be hot to the touch. I don't even use the Dash Charger on my OnePlus 3T. 2 amp charging is sufficient for overnight charging. Plus it doesn't put as much heat into the battery.
I charge my phone before bed.Take off charging pad. Put in low power mode over night still have 99 or 98 percent when I wake up for work in the morning. The Magnificent Note 8. No need to charge overnight. | 2019-04-19T12:58:48 | https://www.phonearena.com/news/plugging-in-your-phone-overnight-is-not-good_id102933 |

This past weekend Toronto’s historic Fort York played home once again to the fifth annual Field Trip festival. Put on by indie behemoths Arts & Crafts, Field Trip for many marks the start of Toronto’s summer season, and we’re right there with them.
This year saw the return of festival faves Broken Social Scene (returning to the stage with the whole BSS family, Metric’s Emily Haines included) and Feist (who played some new hits off her amazing new record Pleasure & was joined onstage by Stars member Torquil Campbell, who filled in for Jarvis Cocker on “Century”), as well as newcomers like Tei Shi & jazz bros BADBADNOTGOOD.
Recent Juno winners A Tribe Called Red brought the party Saturday while France’s indie rock greats Phoenix closed up the weekend with an electrifying set. Throughout the weekend we ran into lots of familiar faces and made new friends. We were there with camera in hand, so check out our toddle through the festival grounds up top. | 2019-04-26T04:19:45 | https://ontheaside.com/music/photos-field-trip-kicks-off-summer-in-toronto/ |

The stamped inscriptions on this ivory dial are filled with red and black colours. Two brass clasps (one missing) allow the dial to be closed, two clasps attached to the opposite side hold the dial in the open position while being used. A pivoted arm on the side edge of the lower leaf covers a cavity which probably contained a now missing pin gnomon.
The dial is decorated with geometrical patterns which contain lunar crescents, stars and sun effigies.
The outer surface of the upper leaf is engraved as a windrose with 32 directions given in German, north is additionally marked with a cross. Outside the dial, the directions of the rising and the setting of the sun as well as midday and midnight are indicated .
In the centre of the windrose is a gilt brass lunar volvelle with an index. The age of the moon is marked on the ivory and can be seen through an aperture in the disc which also contains a circular cut-out for the lunar phases. The disc has a 24 hour scale numbered twice clockwise 1 to 12. The pin gnomon for the equatorial dial is missing.
The inner surface of the upper leaf is laid out as a vertical pin gnomon dial and a vertical string gnomon dial (string missing).
The pin gnomon dial shows Babylonian hours, numbered 1 to 10, and the lines of the zodiacal signs with their symbols. The string gnomon dial is numbered 7 to 12 to 5.
In the centre is a brass disc for an equatorial pin gnomon dial (pin missing) with a 24 hour scale, numbered twice 1 to 12 and divided to 1/2 and 1/4 hours. The dial is now wrongly set.
On the right hand side is a latitude scale from 5? to 60? marked 'POLVS HEHE' which allows the equatorial dials on the upper leaf to be set to the appropriate latitude.
The signature of the maker 'PAVLUS REINMAN NORIMBERG FACIEBAT' is engraved at the bottom on the face of the string gnomon dial.
The inner surface of the lower leaf has a horizontal string gnomon dial, numbered 4 to 12 to 8 and divided to 1/2 and 1/4 hours, and for Italian hours through the year in 9 circles numbered (from the outside) 8 (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 respectively) to 24. There is no indication to which month which circle refers.
Outside the dial are the cardinal directions marked in Latin with eat and west as 'ORTVS' and 'OCCASVS'. A compass well with a deviation of circa 9? E is empty except for the maker's mark, a crown, stamped twice.
At the base of the dial is the inscription 'der faden zaygt die gancz und halb uhr' and the date '1587'.
The outer surface of the lower leaf contains a nocturnal with the cursor missing. It consists of a gilt brass volvelle with an long index and 23 small projecting pins. The volvelle has a 24 hour scale numbered clockwise twice 1 to 12, divided to 1/2 and 1/4 hours. The centre bears a foliate design.
A cutout in the brass disc shows a calendar on the ivory marked clockwise with the names of the months in Latin, each month is numbered 10 to 30 (28 and 31 respectively) and divided to 2 days. The zodiacal signs are marked with their symbols; the equinoxes corresponding to March 11 and September 12.

Ward, A catalogue of European Scientific Instruments in the Department of Medieval and Later Antiquities of the British Museum (London, 1981), pp. 35, no. 79. | 2019-04-21T08:32:18 | http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/epact/catalogue.php?ENumber=50579&Level=Detail |
A few weeks ago I had never heard of Geoffrey Beene, an American designer. Since purchasing a 1988 Vogue pattern, and making it up I have found that Beene produced several patterns for Vogue. Here are a few I like, but there are several to choose from. Because many are from the currently “unfashionable” 80s it is possible to pick them up for £2 or £3.
Geoffrey Beene was an American designer (d2004) who specialised in “tricky, complicated clothes that moved effortlessly on the body” according to SFGate.
“He made dresses without side seams; he created the curving zipper, a technological breakthrough in design; he showed ball gowns inspired by football jerseys; a denim, strapless evening dress. He became known for the bolero and the jumpsuit…A quintessential American designer, he often said that comfort and versatility were his top priorities. “He always believed that it was important for the body to be free, for the woman to be able to run for a bus,” said Gladys Perint Palmer.
I am now a total convert. Previously passing up many of the eighties styles, Beene included, I realise now that they have something about them that I love. This was the era where women were begining to get important jobs – the power suit era – and designers were really thinking about what would be good to wear for work. If you look at the suits without a “urgh, the eighties” mindset, they are actually pretty wearable. Even if the jackets are voluminous (to emphasise the close fit of the skirt or dress) the skirts, trousers and dresses remain very acceptable. As I look carefully at these patterns I realise they are both contemporary and desirable.
I enjoyed making and wearing this dress. Although the 1980s silhouette is unmistakable, the hips and shoulders balance perfectly. It is both comfortable and feminine, but also very smart. I made few alterations, mainly lengthening the torso. I also omitted the shoulder pads, mainly because I didn’t have any at home. I cut the skirt to finish more or less on the knee, and included a lining as I was working with white fabric. White has a tendency to transparency that is not exactly “Vogue Career”.
I used a fairly heavy white cotton with a little Lycra in it. Making up was straight forward. I followed the instructions precisely, save only for the addition of a white silk lining. I used cotton organdie for interlining at the neckline, and put the zip in by hand. The most beautiful features are the pleating behind which are deep pockets, and the cap sleeves. I think the neckline could be just a touch higher.
I love this dress, but despite my careful fitting it is a little bit too big. You can see the back neckline gapes, and the armhole opening is just a touch too deep. So when I make this up in wool I will taper the back seam, taking out as much as 2″ at the neckline and about 1″ at the waist. And I will raise the side seams by about half an inch. Otherwise I am very happy with the fit and style of this dress. I am speaking at Oxford Planning Law Conference this Saturday and I plan to wear this dress, despite its flaws.
Its very smart. I had to check it out in close up to see if there were side seams after your interesting introduction about the designer, as I was wondering how one could put in the pockets without them ;).
This is very flattering on you and I think it will be perfect after you make the changes. I learned that Vogue was licensed to sell designer designs but Vogue took the design, created it on their block (sloper), and graded for an “American” fit. Typically this fit has much more ease and a different body shape than the European fit. That’s why the style as sewn can look so different. I love the vintage styles you show and am looking forward to seeing your versions. They are classics.
Actually, I think some elements of late 80’s and early 90’s are making their way back into fashion. I have been on the lookout for some vintage Donna Karan and DKNY patterns and stumbled across the Vogue Career line as well. I love how they gave work appropriate options, that had some strong design elements, without being overtly fussy.
This is a lovely cut on you. Good luck this weekend!
You also make some interesting points about the 80s designs. As Canal Couture mentioned, I think some 80s design details are coming back into fashion. Just last night I sketched a skirt that I saw that was very similar to a draped 80s skirt, but more subtly gathered and with a faux wrap and curved vent. I’m definitely going to make a knock-off!
How lovely, that was my favourite dress from your pattern selection and the style suits you very well, I’m surprised that shoulder pads are suggested, I suppose that helps with balancing the silhouette?
It’s a great look on you and it’s versatile too, it could look very different depending fabric choice and I’ll wait with interest to see your next version.
Hope your talk goes well.
I’ve made this one up several times, I like your version in white. Its a very easy to wear dress. The last one I made was for DD1.
I love this dress! Its going on my wanted list!
I think this looks great on you. Once you point out the fitting issues, I see them, but I believe they would pass my test: if I put this on in a store, would I buy it? | 2019-04-22T16:48:49 | https://fabrickated.com/2014/09/17/the-geoffrey-beene-power-dress/ |

Hey guys! You've probably seen this kind of thing done before, but I wanted to give my take on it!
I bought this product because I wanted a change from shower gel. Little did I know when using it, it comes out like shaving foam. Those of you that use a shaving foam and shower gel, save your money and buy this product. It's a 2 in 1!
This is technically a moisturizer, but it is also a good primer (as it states on the packaging) The consistency is like a thick cream.
This product can be used before makeup application to make your foundation look a little more dewy and refreshed. This also can be used as a liquid highlight on the tops of your cheekbones etc.
This can be used as and eyeliner or eye shadow. The product has 2 ends, one for smudging and one eye line.
Now I have mentioned this product within my "products I regret buying" post BUT there are many products sold like this that can be used as a blush or lip product.
This is so moisturizing, so can be used just as a lip balm. If you layer it on you can use it as more of a lip gloss.
Now I'm kind of cheating with this one, but you can use the powder part of this palette as an eyeshadow!
This can be used as a setting spray or to dampen your makeup brushes before use.
Do you have any multipurpose beauty items?
Uhh..I like this a lot! Always carry too much stuff around with me anyways, so making one item do several things, is where it's at! I usually have a travel size bottle of Josie Maran's Argan Oil with me. Great for my overall dry skin and hair!
The soap and glory bright here bright now sounds amazing, i must try pick it up soon! | 2019-04-23T16:11:06 | http://www.laurathinksabout.co.uk/2014/08/2-in-1-beauty-products.html |
When it comes to news, archives are the glue that keeps our history together. Without massive databases of what has happened in the past and detailed accounts of history we wouldn’t have a way to go back and see how our society has become what it is today. We would be forced to repeat awful things that have already happened and be unable to further advance the positive things that make us progressive. We certainly wouldn’t be to the point where we can keep hundreds of years on news and information on a computer database instead of a 500,000 square foot archive building. Because of our advancements, we now have the ability to access news through online archives without living the comforts of our home, office or local library.

If you set the formatting in add/editnews how does the template system allow you to customise look and feel ?
'3.7 Ajax Template' supplied in the upgrade shows the nested formatting in which template formatting is inoperative.
If you were to correct the template we might be able to see how formatting control is retained in the templates.
If your worried about the news formatting conflicting with the tenplate formatting, simply don't format your news. The system has always been like this where you've been able to style the news however you want.

Saturday is over. I'm tired. I know Roger is tired. It was a fun, but long day. I spent 3 hours and 17 minutes at a Virginia DMV to get a disabled parking placard for Roger. I stood in line for an hour and a half to get in the door. I got a number then sat in a chair for an hour and 40 minutes. My number was finally called and it took 7 minutes for the transaction and I walked out of the DMV. I was in shock for a while. I had to pray for patience a few times. Numbers ranged from A### to F### and there was no rhyme or reason to how they called numbers. I pulled A021. I was scared to leave for fear of missing my number. I sat for 45 minutes before I finally heard an A### number called and it was A013. Then they'd call a couple more and no more A's would be called for a while. Since I didn't think it would take that long, I made the mistake of not eating before I went and not bringing anything to do with me. So when it was all over I was starving and kicking myself for not eating or bringing something with me to eat and read. I could have finished book six of the seven book series I'm reading.
I finally made it to the hospital about 3:30 p.m, I think. I can't remember what time it was. Roger had just finished with PT & OT for the day and he was pooped. He was laying down when I got there and soon fell asleep. Before I knew it, it was 5:00 p.m. We got ready for game night, you know, using the bathroom, washing his face, putting on long pants, etc. All those things take longer now. Everyone starting showing up for game night. We had a great time. Before we knew it, it was 9:00 p.m. and we had to play one last tie breaker game between the girls vs the guys. The girls won, of course! Roger had to go up for vitals and meds during the last round. Then we all parted ways. Roger really enjoyed game night and would like to do it again next Saturday. Watch the blog for more details. I have also posted all the pictures from tonight on Flickr (link to the right).
Good night all. I'm off to bed, exhausted.
We just watched the video of the Pt race..U looked like Vince Young scoring the final TD @ the Rose Bowl. We are proud of you for your unwavering strength to work hard. I expect nothing less of you Rog. Keep up the good work and know we are behind u 100%. Holly..you are the best wife ever. God has blessed Rog with U and HE will continue to give U strength also. | 2019-04-26T02:42:45 | http://www.mommaerts.org/2006/03/saturday-review.html |

This a fragment of a sacrificial calendar from the medium-small inland deme, Teithras, which sent 4 men to the Council in the fourth century (compare Thorikos with 5 councillors, OR 146, Erchia, to the south of Teithras, with 7, SEG 21.541, the demes of the Marathonian Tetrapolis with 22, SEG 50.168). The rites provided for on Face A fell in Boedromion, the third month of the year.

Little Fires Everywhere: Book Review by Dinh.
Synopsis from hardcover book, 338 pages, copyright 2017 and published by Penguin Press.
I was looking forward to reading Celeste Ng’s latest book Little Fire Everywhere because it had such raved reviews.
I have read Ng’s first book, Everything I Never Told You and thought it was okay, although I did have some issues with it. See the review here.
Going into the book I didn’t have high expectations. I was just expecting it to be slow and hoped I would click with it and like it more than her first book.
I was surprisingly pleased that Little Fires Everywhere exceeded my expectations. I wasn’t really anticipating it to be so good! It was a compelling read and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Here’s the breakdown of this fantastic book!
I definitely enjoyed the story line. The novel starts with a fire at the Richardson’s house in Shaker Heights and goes backwards to tell how you end up there.
Whilst the overall plot was about the battle of the adoption of the Chinese-American baby, I found myself enjoying Mia’s backstory and her journey in becoming an artist the most.
Ng’s writes well and her novel is compelling. I was astonished that I enjoyed Ng’s style of writing so much more than her first book.
Ng’s story telling ability is excellent in this book. She weaves a tale that is balanced with great characters and a pace that is just right so you keep on turning the pages with eagerness.
I was won over with the author’s adeptness in creating characters that were so real. The scenarios that were depicted, particularly in the Richardson’s kids, were especially true to life.
Little Fires Everywhere had a bunch of interesting characters that were well thought out and developed. Both Mia and Pearl and the Richardson family were characters that were believable and you could imagine what they would do because you get to know them intimately.
The strength of the book was most definitely the great characters. I felt invested in their stories.
I particularly enjoyed Mia and Mrs. Elena Richardson characters the best as they are two very different people.
Mia is a single parent. She is an artist and is concerned with transformation. Her life and her choices made have shaped her to be what she is now. She lives for now.
Mrs. Richardson is a complex character. She is loyal to her friends and likes to play by the book.
At heart, she is a good person. She rents out her Winslow house not because she needs the money, but because it makes her feel good that she is doing the right thing by renting it to someone who deserves it or needs a chance.
The book raises some interesting themes such as motherhood, race and identity, family, secrets, adoption, love, friendship, teenage angst, depression to name a few.
Postpartum depression was a theme I could connect with, being a mother of three. I found Bebe’s story heartbreaking. I couldn’t imagine the desperation she must have felt to have done what she did.
I liked the ending and I thought the ending was realistic. It finished off with what happened right after the fire which was to be expected.
I absolutely loved Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. It’s a riveting story of two very different families whose fates clash and become entwined.
Ng expertly crafted a character driven book with a tight plot that keeps you turning the pages!
The book is emotionally satisfying because it allows you to get into the characters. There were some heart-breaking events that made me sad.
The book is a compelling read. I highly recommend it!

Yes, the book did tell of Bebe’s motherhood experience which was very sad. She was depressed and didn’t know how to cope. She was also a single parent and didn’t know she could get help.
I hope you enjoy Little Fires Everywhere!
Sounds like the author improved with this second book. Thanks for your thoughts. Hoping I can pick this one up soon.
Yes, Celeste Ng has improved a tremendous amount. I loved Little Fires Everywhere and didn’t really think much of the first book. Everything just work and came together in this book. I am glad I gave her another chance.
I’m so happy you were able to love this one too! I agree, I really like the backstory that was intermingled with the main plot in this one. Ng created some wonderfully realistic and complex characters. I found it hard to know who was going to win the lawsuit because I could understand arguments on both sides as well… Also, she writes it beautifully, and carries the metaphor of flames all the way through the book.
I totally agree with you on the lawsuit. I found it hard not to see both sides of the case. I felt moved by both parties arguments for having the baby. I was surprised that Ng didn’t lead us to one side or the other.
Omg this is such a coincidence because I literally just started this novel tonight! I’m already really enjoying it, I can tell Ng is a very talented writer. Your review has made me more excited for what’s to come.
I hope you are enjoying Little Fires Everywhere.
Hi Dinh, Oh, there is an actual fire?! Haha. I always thought it was a figure of speech only. Now I know! 🙂 I knew of this book last year when I sent the book to Africa! Books with strong, relatable, and compelling characters are the best. I’m glad you enjoyed this more that the last. Great review!

For the last year or so I have taught a number of pupils with both physical and learning difficulties.
One student in particular has been quite awkward to cater for as their fine motor skills are not conducive to planting chords of any kind with the left hand. This is also compounded by the fact that they also find chord charts virtually impossible to follow.
Our first session together left me scratching my head and thinking that lessons were probably not viable for this student in particular. I looked online for a number of solutions and remembered a contraption used by a very musical old friend of mine called the guitar wizard - The contraption was called the guitar wizard not my friend in case you were wondering.
I'm sure my mate won't mind me saying that he has tried loads of weird and wonderful quick fix teaching methods to learn the guitar. He has spent so much time and money on various methods that he could really have learned better by using the conventional, have lessons and spend the time doing it properly approach. In fact he has recently learned ukulele by the old-fashioned hard work method and is actually becoming a cracking player.
The guitar wizard was one of the more memorable contraptions he used to try to learn how to play guitar. It involves tuning the guitar to a chord and planting the contraption around your hand on the fretboard.
A strip of numbered stickers adorns your fretboard and then you follow the number guides which appear above the lyrics in the transcribed songs.
My pal made some rapid progress using transcriptions from the booklet provided with the gadget. He was able to play a small repertoire of songs for a grudgingly approving school staffroom much quicker than learning by conventional methods.
There were however several limitations to this approach Only very simple tunes could be played with any success. It only allowed basic major and minor chords. Using it for more complicated stuff sounded somewhat stilted and often wrong. It really grated on me. I like my fancy, jazzy altered chords.If you are not musical enough to work things out for yourself, you have to buy specially transcribed songs directly from the manufacturer which can be expensive and also they may not have the songs you are looking for.Lose the contraption, as I would, or find it mangled by the washing machine having left it in your pocket and you are right back at square one and 40 quid out of pocket.This however seemed like the best way for my student. Being able to play any music at all, no matter how simple it may be, would be a huge achievement but knowing that they would probably lose the expensive contraption in days, I had to think of another solution.
I liked the idea of tuning to a chord and spent hours building a number of, to put it in over grandiose terms, prototypes to try and emulate the guitar wizard cheaply. I thought I had found an easy to make, cheap solution and was quite happy with it, however my student didn't really get on with it and couldn't press down hard enough. I was gutted.
I needed a method of easily sounding notes at once without the need for pressing down. I turned to the old fashioned slide guitar method. You put your finger inside a smooth bottle neck and slide it up and down the strings to your required note.
I put coloured stickers on the fret board and have my transcriptions colour coded for the required fret. The student, moves the slide- which is actually a cheap curtain pole - not a bona fide slide- to the correct colour on the fretboard.
If you are slightly out of position it sounds badly out of tune.
Slowly but surely and somewhat surprisingly, my student's idea of intonation has improved significantly. It still sounds ropey at times but it means we can attempt some simple 3 and 4 major chord only songs. You'd be amazed at just how many of them there are to choose from.
Loads of Elvis, Cliff Richard, most rock and roll or country and western songs fall into this category.
I'm not sure which sounds worse, the bottleneck not being quite in the right place or having to play and sing the Cliff Richard, Val Doonican and Des O'bloody Connor songs I've been asked to transcribe. Either way it means that students who otherwise wouldn't be able to access the instrument can play to their heart's content without shelling out loads on expensive teaching methods and contraptions. | 2019-04-23T16:49:33 | http://thesongsmith.co.uk/index.php/blog/30-teaching-instruments-to-people-with-learning-difficulties-and-quick-fix-methods |
Seems like we’ve taken a lot of personality tests here at Oxide lately. Some seem accurate like, for instance, telling me I’m an introvert. My favorite has been the Star Wars interpretation of the Myers Briggs.
I recently shared my love of fantasy novels. So I think it’s acceptable to let you in on a little secret. I really really love books. (Except that it’s not really a secret.) Before deciding to become a designer, I toyed around with the idea of becoming a librarian instead. I even spent three years working at the public library back home and three more years working at Iowa State University’s library.
Around the same time Joe Sparano was beginning his position on the AIGA Nebraska Board of Directors, I was being groomed for one as well. I began my term in January as AIGA Nebraska‘s Director of New Media. One of my duites under that position is to Chair an event. What a better event for someone like me to put on than one that focuses on bringing together the two critical professions necessary to create great internet, Design and Development. | 2019-04-21T16:55:10 | https://oxidedesign.com/category/extracurricular/page/2/ |

I have had my white Segway MiniPro for only two days. I've put on enough distance to have the speed unlocked. I was walking the MiniPro across a busy intersection, and the white plastic cap came off the extendable steering bar.
The part of the cap with the top most screw became separated at the screw. More4Mini has them listed for $10, which I consider unreasonably high, especially since the reality is that it should be a $0.25 plastic part. I would gladly pay $10.00 if it were billet aluminum.
I would be grateful if a forum contributor could recommend where to go for this replacement part.
PS. I just ordered the steering bar and parking stand from More4Mini. Would have thought the cap would be a throw away item by them if purchased over $100.
This happened to me and I just went with More4Mini. I don't know of any other sources. I guess maybe you could try to get a warranty repair.
Mine is broken too. Can you simply pull the piece out after you remove the two screws? The remaining piece seems to be stuck inside the bar and I can't get it out.
Mine got stuck too. I ended up obliterating the old one with a power drill. | 2019-04-23T14:29:25 | https://forums.segwaychat.org/showthread.php?t=35016 |

A visit to an extraordinary dolls’ house this week suggested some of the differences between dolls’ houses and working models for theatre.
Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House is a spectacular dolls’ house, designed by Edwin Lutyens, and built between 1921 and 1924. It is at 1:12 scale, with murals by William Nicholson and Edmund Dulac, fully functioning hot and cold plumbing, lifts and electric lights. Two hundred miniature leather-bound volumes contain stories and poems written out by hand by the authors, including J.M Barrie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, A. E. Housman and Vita Sackville West. The gleaming pots and pans on the kitchen stove were made by the mechanics of Guy’s Hospital, hammered out of real gold to avoid the need for polishing.
A miniature garden designed by Gertrude Jekyll pops out of the plinth below the house, complete with lawn mowers, plant tubs and benches. The nursery contains miniature toys, including a steam train, soldiers and a theatre. The toy theatre is itself lit by electricity and contains two stage sets for Peter Pan. Lutyens was friends with J.M Barrie and designed the set of the night nursery for the first production of Peter Pan or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up.
‘There is a great beauty in smallness’, says A.C. Benson in his introduction to the essays, inventory and catalogue gathered in the two volumes of The Book of the Queen’s Dolls’ House (1924). Benson writes that miniaturisation allows the viewer to take in more – to appreciate composition and juxtaposition at a glance – and at the same time to see less – to remain oblivious to the blemishes that are visible at full scale.
The dolls’ house was displayed at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley for seven months in 1924, and was seen by 1,617,556 people. It was then displayed at the Ideal Home Exhibition to raise money for the Queen’s charitable fund. Finally it was put on show at Windsor Castle.
On Monday 30 October, the doll’s house was specially opened for a group of 12 taking part in a writing workshop led by Lynda Waterhouse. Windsor Castle had closed to the public for the day. We were led over the cobbles in darkness, past the Round Tower, floodlit but silent.
On permanent display in a room designed for it by Lutyens, the doll’s house was this evening lit only by its own internal lights, bulbs no bigger than teardrops. Lynda read extracts from ‘The Haunted Doll’s House’, a story written by M.R. James for the library of the dolls’ house. Curator Beth Jones gave us each a torch to explore the rooms, picking out details, peering round corners to glimpse internal staircases and paintings on the walls.
We returned to another room to write. I was suffering a little from the rapid return to full scale and this room now seemed to resemble a scaled up miniature: spotless walls lined with flawless glass–fronted cabinets displaying sets of porcelain that would never be used. Here we wrote our own accounts of a haunted room and the adventures of a dolls’ house. The workshop was an extraordinary opportunity to view the dolls’ house at leisure, in evocative shadow and torchlight.
Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House is far from being an ordinary dolls’ house. Dolls’ houses designed for play are closer in some respects to the models used in theatre, but the design and research and construction of the house has many similarities with theatrical model-making.
2) Inhabitants The house does not contain any human figures (though there is a dog and a cat, and in the garden, a snail), whereas the human figure is crucial to theatre set models. Although the drawers under the plinth were initially intended to house dolls, it was decided not to allow them into the house for fear they would dispel the illusion. E.F. Benson wrote, ‘the fact is that Dolls are hopelessly out of place in a Dolls’ House […] and the more beautiful the Doll’s House, the more are Dolls discordant and messy.’ [Note 2] Benson complained that dolls are not to scale and tend to fall over. They ‘might have fixed their glassy eyes on the pictures, but they would never have seen them’. In theatre, the model always anticipates its future occupation by humans who might need to climb stairs, open doors and sit on chairs, even though the figures might only be flat cut-outs.
3) Scale The scale of one inch to represent one foot used here is the scale of Lilliput in Gulliver’s Travels, and has become the standard scale for collectors’ dolls’ houses. It produces model rooms twice the size of those typically used in working theatre models (at 1:25; or 1:24 in the United States or for film). Practicality must be one reason for this choice: a model of a stage and auditorium at 1:12 would be very inconvenient and expensive to transport. In Germany, theatre and opera models are often half the size of UK models (at 1:50). It would be interesting to discover whether the different scales affect the choices about use of space. A smaller model presumably emphasises larger scenographic decisions, rather than detail and finish. In the construction and furnishing of dolls’ houses made for play, different scales are often mixed – to the disapproval of some collectors.
4) Materials This particular house is a cabinet displaying samples of ‘tiny craft’ rather than a play house. As in a journeyman’s piece, real materials are used: drops of real wine in the bottles, real slate on the roof and ‘two thousand tiny sections of veritable oak’ to make up the kitchen floor. Dymphna Ellis writes: ‘A fairy house, one might call it, except that mortal men have made it. Carpenters and artists, metal workers and weavers, all skilled workers upon the things of everyday life, who in this adventure have applied their art to producing real things of microscopic size.’ [Note 3] In a theatre model, the materials to be used in the eventual production need only be evoked.
However, the problems of working at small scale apply to theatrical model-makers too. In an essay on ‘The Effect of Size on the Equipment of the Queen’s Dolls’ House’, Mervyn O’Gorman notes that the properties of matter do not scale down when size is altered: fabric appears to be ‘slightly starched’, rather than hanging in natural folds, while liquids will not flow out of the tiny bottles.
6) Sightlines The formal rooms could be imagined as stage sets for a proscenium arch stage: a wide rectangular hall with marble floor and staircase to a mezzanine, or a dining room with a table set for 14. But there are also narrow rooms that recede away from us – bathrooms, kitchens and servants’ rooms – impossible to stage in a conventional space without denying a view to most of the audience. Although this doll’s house is behind glass, it offers the pleasure of being a privileged viewer: you can move from side to side and up and down, rather than remaining in a fixed position. You can range imaginatively around the rooms, an experience intensified by this after-hours visit with torches.

The legends of the Caucasus… | Aleksandr V. Gevorkyan, Ph.D.
In a recent paper, in the International Business Review, entitled “The Legends of the Caucasus: Economic Transformation of Armenia and Georgia” I attempt to evaluate the past two decades of macroeconomic, business, and institutional transformation in the two small open economies.
All standard clarifications on the imperfections of the post-socialist transition aside, I argue, that the two are open to international business that follows the local context.
Neither of the two is a success case by the conventional measures — but perhaps that should not be guiding ideal for us to be able to objectively analyze the Caucasus duo. Instead, the key should be a relative contrast between what had actually taken place following the reforms and social collapses of the early 1990s and what has evolved since then.
The story isn’t rosy but yet it is not one of desperation either. Indeed the hierarchical market economies concept (often attributed to the Latin American economies, e.g. here) may be relevant here on a macro level. On a micro scale, the segmented business systems framework (e.g. here on African case) may be a relative guide to scholars in characterizing the two economies.
However, there is a clear pattern of maturing industries (e.g. IT and agriculture in Armenia transportation and agriculture in Georgia) – emerging in the post-1990s collapse. Armenia’s entrepreneurial drive is strong as evidenced by a number of surveys (including this one): the managers are willing to take on business risk and operate under conditions of limited finance, yet the country’s innovative ability contributes up to 3% of the world’s total NEW inventions (e.g. Picsart – based in Armenia, etc.). Georgia on the other hand relies on its established productive and infrastructure capacity to drive its growth.
None of the above is solidified, of course, and headwinds (economic, social, political) are strong. Hence, many have looked at the Diaspora-potential. But as I argue in the paper and elsewhere, the diaspora in each case is more of a dispersion–with random sporadic action towards the homeland.
This critically matters for Armenia, cut-off in blockade, and by distance from its main destination markets (including Russia to which most diversified exports in agriculture are sent). In fact some diaspora surveys suggest Armenia’s FDI being largely driven by diaspora entrepreneurs whereas Georgia, leveraging its advantageous geography, is able to attract a more balanced trade and FDI mix from across regions (see the exports exposure and external risk discussion in the paper). Still other measures suggest the “diaspora” potential has not played out to the fullest extent yet (even despite high remittance share and some FDI projects) in either of the economies.
Yet, the above might in fact be a solid argument for the relative inner strength of the combined human capital capacity and economic base (developed within the Five Forces model in the paper) of the two economies.
It is perhaps premature to expect either Armenia or Georgia to be joining the ranks of high-income economies, despite any such aspirations. However, there are not out-right failures either. And even the minor successes of the past two decades should serve as guides to businesses seeking new markets, educated labor force, and evolving institutional framework as either stand-alone or access points into yet unknown high potential markets.

On May 24th, the Danish-French Chamber of Commerce organized its gala dinner at Klampenborg Galopbane for the second year in a row.
Under a beautiful, sun-filled sky, the invited guests started the evening with a tasting of a champagne provided by our sponsor, Pernod Ricard.During the aperitif, we had the chance of welcoming amateurs of vintage Renault cars. Among other cars, the guests could enjoy the view of a Dauphine. Models all dressed in Simone Pérèle had taken a seat in these vintage cars.
After the aperitif, the guests sat down to dinner, each sponsor of the evening having their own table(s) for any partners, employees and clients they wished to invite to the dinner.
During the dinner, Stéphanie Surrugue, the famous Danish-French journalist, was very kind to pay tribute to Prince Henrik, protector of the Chamber. A big thank you to her as well.
Between the main course and the dessert, we went outdoors again to watch the Danish-French Grand Prix. The race ended in a duel between the horse from Legrand and the horse from Renault, the latter winning with a short head. Well done to both.
Our guests then attended an exceptional fashion show with models dressed in the Simone Pérèle collection. Given the number of photos taken by the participants, it is fair to say that all the top-end and elegant lingerie by Simone Pérèle seduced us all. A big thank you to this French lingerie brand for their splendid show.
The evening ended with an award ceremony for the Air France Export Prix. This year, Les Grands Chais de France were rewarded as the French brand having achieved the greatest success in Denmark. Annai Salazar, key account manager in Denmark, received the prize for her work and the development of the brand. The first French exporter of wine and alcohol in the world, this brand today alone represents 20% of all imports of French wine in Denmark with an almost 30% increase since 2015. A huge bravo to them for their success.
The Danish brand rewarded with the prize this year was Søstrene Grene. As a matter of fact, the Danish group has already opened about 30 stores in France and plans to further increase this number. Apart from the Nordic countries, the French market has become an important market for the Danish brand. Bjørn Bach Eriksen, COO, and Martin K. Lundgaard, CFO, were handed the prize by the French Ambassador to Denmark, François Zimeray. Congratulations to Søstrene Grene for this success story in France.

After the handing of the prize for the most original flag awarded by Simone Pérèle, the evening ended with music played by a DJ, which allowed the guests who wished to dance to continue the evening until 1 in the morning.
Please find below a link to the pictures of the evening. It is not possible to download the pictures directly, but if you would like to have one or more pictures in particular, you can just write us indicating the number of the picture that you would like and then we will send it to you by email.

“Information is power – and police officers today need the best information available to empower them to make the best decisions they can on the spot,” points out this leader of change, who is pushing through a big shift to proactive use of mobile technology right across his force.
“Mobile will be the principal platform here in terms of getting information out to the professionals,” he confirms. But not just mobile – video conferencing and calling is also actively being evaluated.

Once they know the cause of a slowdown, IT administrators can act before a problem exists.
Much like dining halls, health centers and laundry services, Wi-Fi is considered by today’s college students to be a must-have service.
A recent report from the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research found that 61 percent of college students have at least two devices that they want to connect to college networks.
With demands like that across campuses, colleges need to take steps to ensure that students are able to access what they need for education and entertainment.
By understanding what data is taking up the most bandwidth, how they can act proactively, and what types of policies will help, universities will be one step closer to doing just that.
EdTech has discussed how video streaming sites like Netflix use up a ton of a university’s network bandwidth, leaving universities to incur the costs of the oftentimes sizable bill for recreational viewing.
Houston Community College, which has 75,000 students across 26 campuses, reported to Campus Technology that 65 percent of all wireless traffic at their schools was video-based.
“This puts a heavy load on each wireless access point, coupled with the fact that most wireless environments at the college have a high physical density of users — from common areas to libraries and the classroom,” Kyle Cooper, the school’s director of network and telecom, told Campus Technology.
But besides the likely bandwidth hogs like YouTube, Hulu and Netflix, university network administrators might be overlooking another potential drain.
Cloud apps that automatically sync files like Box and Google Drive, and even OS updates from Android or Windows, can slow down a network, eCampus News reports.
Miller also writes that Dropbox has a policy of taking up 75 percent of bandwidth available when it is updating, unless that option is manually turned off.
In an article on the technology news site MakeUseOf, Brad Jones writes that Windows 10 has been using a ton of bandwidth from automatic updates and file syncs.
Users can set a limit to how many gigabytes are transferred in the settings of OneDrive, Jones writes.
Even if students are made aware of the apps and upgrades that are using large amounts of bandwidth, they’ll still want to install a new OS upgrade for one of their mobile devices when it’s released. And more and more students will continue to bring more and more devices each year. Universities can prepare for this.
University of California, Irvine got even more proactive by installing 1,315 Cisco Systems 3702i access points in its residence halls in preparation for expanding their network over the next few years, EdTech reported in August.
The University of North Carolina Wilmington also sought a Cisco solution to create a scalable network, according to a news release on Cisco’s website. With the Cisco technologies, UNCW network administrators were able to determine the number of users on any access point, view signal strength and proactively adjust to achieve better coverage before incidents were reported.
Some universities may also consider enacting policies that will prioritize what can be deemed valuable bandwidth. Miller’s eCampus News article suggests that campuses struggling with Wi-Fi performance should try using management tools that can prioritize education and productivity apps over those used for entertainment.
“Administrators set policies to block, rate, limit, and prioritize apps based on a variety of factors, including time of day, device type, user type or location,” writes Miller.
In an article from mobility platform provider Secure Edge Networks, it is suggested that colleges limit apps like Netflix to a set amount of bandwidth during certain peak education hours, then open it up to unlimited availability during nonpeak hours. | 2019-04-19T20:54:00 | https://edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2016/11/3-tips-optimizing-college-network-bandwidth |
Sorry, but after 40+ years behind the blue and white roundel, I'm ready to get out, despite the fact that I can't afford to. Anybody else headed for the lifeboats?
I upgraded to a 94Ah rex, due to the potential for massive depreciation on the 60Ah Rex and I still had a need for an i3 Rex. Once a Hyundai or similar car to the Chevvy bolt comes out with the 60Kw packs and 240 mile range of the bolt...of course I will leave BMW. The depreciation is the same in the UK and it ruinous on the pure Bev 60Ah. The reasons the depreciation is so high is they made a car that's fantastically expensive to repair once out of warranty, is written off with a small accident at 3 or 4 years old. At 4 years old buyers are thinking about 4 years or so left on the battery and the warranty also has only 4 years left to run.
BMW built an over complicated disposable car with a 8-9 year life, because people won't want to buy one older than that. People will never ever upgrade the batteries or replace a 60 with a 60Ah as we are compelled to do in the Rex. Simply because at BMW prices it will be so expensive, it's better to use the money to get a new model electric car with hugely better range and probably 1/3 the cost to run. People in the UK have the dream that independents will surface who can do battery upgrades repairs etc.. That has not happened in the UK and I don't think it ever will. BMW have been super careful to make the electronic side so complex, that if independents try to put a larger pack in etc.. they will find it so locked down that they might have to replace most of the control systems...then in the UK, good luck getting it insured.
I have the last i3 I will ever buy, because of the Rex, but in a few years time, range will be such that it's not needed.
P.S. I was told on a UK forum that "any numpty can repair carbon fibre", but this is completely untrue. If the life module side has even the smallest damage, you got $6000 to buy a replacement carbon fibre side, just so you can cut the part you need (at recommended 3 or 5 cut points) out of it as a replacement. This is before you even start repairs. That's in addition to other panels paint mirrors etc... costs of a minimal side impact will exceed 12K usd. In a normal car, you would just pull that dent out . This means lots and lots of write offs as the cars age.
You are absolutely correct on CF being repair unfriendly.
In the US, if the "life module" is damaged in any way, including a scratch to CF shell, it is not repaired.
My wife got mildly tapped in the rear bumper by a van the other month, while sitting at a traffic light in the i3. Scratches to the bumper cover that I would have NEVER touched, had it not been a leased car. Because I will need to lease-return it in ~15 months, I had to submit an insurance claim.
When I was picking up the i3 from the body shop after $2.3K in repairs, there was a totaled i8 sitting on the lot.
The only damage to the i8 - paintwork mess and scratches in the rear quarter panel. One of the cuts went too deep into the CF shell - totaled!
This explains why my insurance payments are marginally higher on the i3 than on the M3 !
This is a fact that is only slowly drifting into the Zeitgeist of enthusiastic owners. If you try to say anything, it often enrages the community. I tend to be philosophical about it. In fact people on a certain UK forum was told it's cheaper to repair Carbon fibre than steel and you just get a kit for a small amount of money to do it....it was a ridiculous statement, but grabbed upon by people who didn't want to hear anything different.
I even got ragged for getting a 2017 i3 as to why did I do it if it was such a bad car. The reason I did was because unfortunately I had a very early 2014 car, it was a bit of a Lemon and had £1000s worth of faults just waiting to go wrong, because certain things had not failed under warranty. I had around £4,000 of faults under warranty....but I still had KLE, Rex and other well known faults still to occur. my brakes and disks were shot after only 27K (and I hardly ever used them), when taking it up to PX for the 2017 car, I got my first drive train error. So I was happy to be shot of it. The 2017 car is very different to drive and so far no problems.
Sadly there are a few more home truths just waiting to hit owners as the cars continue to age and I dare-say these will come out in the wash as warranties end. In the UK the first cars have already been out of warranty almost a year, in the UK they will soon start dropping out of warranty. I found this REALLY concentrates the mind on ownership issues. | 2019-04-19T00:22:16 | http://bmwiforum.bmwusa.com/thread/921/stunning-i3-depreciation |

Ok, I'm going to be honest here. Christmas is a huge money making opportunity for bloggers of all kinds. There's Christmas gift guides to put out, fashion inspiration posts, craft ideas and soooo much more to post about. So in order to get their dough in due time, bloggers need to get those Christmas posts out as soon as possible. Like... in October.
But I'm a "one holiday at a time" kind of gal. You won't find Halloween decorations in my home until October 1st and I will punch you if you want me to help you put your Christmas tree up after Thanksgiving dinner.
So with that being said, I don't do Christmas blog posts until after Thanksgiving (even though I really want to go ahead and start making my money now just like any other blogger who has bills to pay and presents to buy). So instead of recycling and re-releasing my old Thanksgiving posts one-by-one like I usually do at the holidays, I'm just going to do a cool little round up of my best Thanksgiving-themed posts. Hope you like them!
For people who'd like to do something a little more effective than awkwardly muttering what you're thankful at the dinner table.
Solitude can be great. Sitting and relaxing alone with no pants on, free to eat or watch whatever you want can be quite refreshing. Everyone needs a little "me time" and for many of us if we never get "me-time" we can get quite irritable and even depressed. But when you find yourself alone when you're desiring to be in the company of others - say during a major family-centric holiday like Thanksgiving, that solitude can quickly turn into heartbreaking loneliness.
Dresses that feature real artwork and photography from independent artists all over the world.

The little sister of Mykonos, as they call it, the island of Delos, is just a few nautical miles south-west of the main island. The archaeological and historical significance of the place is huge – due to the fact that the Greeks considered it a sacred land. There, they built wonderful temples, sanctuaries and numerous statues of the plethora of Gods in the Greek pantheon.
The legend around the island is that Leto, Zeus’ lover was banned from all land when Zeus’ legitimate wife found out Leto’s pregnancy. That’s why Poseidon, the God of water, revealed a small bit of land, which had been covered in water, so that she can go there and give birth to Zeus’ child. Delos means “revealed”.
Between 11th and 7th centuries BC, Ionians inhabited the island and they developed it into a powerful trade and spiritual centre. During 4th century BC an interesting process took place -the Athenians did “purification” of the island – they banned all the burials and all the births on the island. The dead were buried on the neighboring island of Rhenia, which was transformed into a necropolis. After the purification, enormous and glamorous ceremonies in honour of Apollo were organized every 5 years. You’ll get a strong sense of that history as you wonder round the UNESCO protected ruins. For a sense of the layout of this ‘open air museum’, just head for the top of Mount Kythnos and peer down.
– The Agora of the Competaliasts – this is one of the main markets on the island of Delos, which was created in the last quarter of the 2nd century BC. This place is directly adjacent to the Sacred Harbour. The foundations of a square and a round marble monument, both dedicated to the god Hermes, can be seen in the center of the market square. Around these two monuments, one can discover the remnants of many other monuments erected by merchants, sea captains, and bankers. In the northern side of this market, one can find the Portico of Philip and an Ionic temple – dedicated to Hermes. In the eastern and southern ends, there are the remains of shops from the golden days of this Hellenic commerce center (about a thousand years ago). The ground is paved with coble stones, which created an additional vernacular atmosphere.
The Doric order was one of the three types or organizational systems of Ancient Greek (classical) architecture; the other two orders were called the Ionic and the Corinthian. The Greek Doric order was the earliest of these, known from the 7th century BC and reaching its developed form in the 5th century BC. In their original Greek version, Doric columns stood directly on the plain pavement (the stylobate) of a temple without any base whatsoever; their vertical shafts were fluted with parallel concave grooves; and they were topped by a smooth capital that flared from the column to meet a square abacus at the intersection with the horizontal beam (“entablature”) that they carried.
There are a couple of ancient buildings where you can observe the Doric order in the whole of its splendour.
The Stoivadeion temple contains a rectangular platform containing a statue of Dionysos which was framed by two actors impersonating Paposilenoi. These actors are now in the Delos Museum for security reason. There are two pillars, one on each side of the platform, each supporting a huge phallus, the symbol of Dionysos. The southern pillar is decorated with relief scenes of a Dionysiac circle, and bears an inscription that it was erected ca. 300 B.C. by a Delian named Karystios in commemoration of a victorious theatrical performance he sponsored.
Archaeological Museum of Delos The Archaeological Museum of Delos was built in the year 1904. The museum contains of Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman sculptures.The most important are the Archaic Sphynx of the Naxias and Acroteria (Victories) from the Temple of the Athenians, sculptural complexes showing Orithyia being carried off by Boreas and Aurora with Kefalos. Find also of all periods collection of vases, various small object and household utensils. | 2019-04-20T01:03:58 | https://actionmykonos.com/mykonos-island/delos-island-rhenia/ |
(EXTended file system) The first file system developed exclusively for the Linux operating system. Introduced in 1992, the limits of the Minix file system originally used in Linux were greatly increased: volume size from 64MB to 2GB, and file names from 14 to 255 characters. Ext also introduced a virtual file system (VFS) interface, which allows different underlying architectures to be used.
In 1993, ext2 added the traditional Unix inode and other features of the Unix File System (see inode and UFS). Maximum volume size jumped to 32TB.
Introduced in 2001, the major enhancement to ext3 was three levels of journaling, the most robust of which duplicates the indexes and file contents in the journal before updating the actual file system (see journaling file system). See file system.
In 2008, ext4 added several enhancements for large files: maximum volume size increased to one exabyte and file size to 16TB.
One framework, multiple form factors and devices, including desktop and mobile -- that's the promise of Ext JS 5, said Chris Thornhill, Chief Architect at Aptean.

This savory pie filled with a variety of spring onions, sausage, and rosemary brings a balanced taste to any brunch! These recipes call for homemade pie crust and they are SOOO worth the extra effort if you have time. You will partially bake the pie crust before filling it - we recommend laying a piece of parchment paper over your unbaked crust and filling it with dry beans. The beans weigh the crust down and will allow it to cook but not bubble and rise. Store your beans when you are done and you can use them for many more future pies.
The version shared below is our paleo friendly, grain-free version, but we gave you a regular clean plate, gluten free and gluten & dairy free versions here as well.
To make pie crust, combine flours, salt, ice water and egg in the bowl of a food processor and mix until combined. Add cold ghee and process until mixture resembles coarse meal.
If it is too dry, add 1 tablespoon cold water at a time. If too moist, add a little coconut flour.
Form dough into a ball and then flatten the ball into a disc a place inside your pie plate. Then use your fingers to evenly spread dough to cover the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate.
Then line pie crust with parchment paper and place pie weights inside or fill with 2 cups dried beans.
Bake for 8 minutes or until just lightly golden. Discard parchment and save beans for another use.
While your crust bakes, heat one tablespoon coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the sausage, leek, green onion, red onion, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Sauté until veggies are tender, about 15 minutes.
Whisk together eggs, milk, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and rosemary until well combined.
Pour sausage-veggie mixture into the pie shell, then pour egg-milk mixture over it and spread all contents to distribute evenly using a spatula.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. You may want to cover the edges of your pie crust with foil to prevent them from burning.
Let sit 10 minutes, then cut into 6-8 wedges and serve.
We hope you enjoy these quiches and casserole with lots of love and laughter surrounding you! | 2019-04-19T08:40:13 | https://www.functionaldiagnostichealing.com/blog/spring-onion-sausage-quiche |

The turnover of North/Latin Americas was 59% or 1.7 million euros. Compared with the same quarter last financial year, the region’s turnover decreased by 24%, due to the fact that already started custom-tailored solutions were finalized, but new ones have not reached the implementation phase during this quarter in the region.
The turnover in the European and CIS region was 33% or 948 thousand euros, which is equivalent to the average regional turnover and almost the same as in the previous financial year. However, it is 34% less than in the second quarter of the year, when the successful result was due to the development of a specific custom-tailored data transmission solution.
The Group’s products were sold in 45 countries during the reporting quarter.
Analyzing a longer period of time, the third quarter is usually the lowest result for the Group due to the winter period on most of the target market.

The Group continues to invest in sales promotion in new and existing markets, in the meantime paying attention to product modifications to ensure specific customer need, as well as investment in new products.
USD/EUR exchange rate negatively affects Group`s net result, especially if compared to the same period last year, when the fluctuation had a positive effect. As of the end of the reporting period, the net cash balance of the Group was EUR 3.9 million.
SAF Tehnika is the company with the long-term competence in development and production of microwave radios. SAF Tehnika will proceed with its work on new high-quality products for the microwave data transmission market, providing not only standardized solutions but also product modifications in order to meet customers’ special needs. The Group is financially stable. The goal of the Company is to stabilize sales levels to ensure a positive net result in the long term. Board of SAF Tehnika cannot provide a certain prognosis for sales figures and operational results. | 2019-04-22T06:13:58 | https://saftehnika.com/en/investors |

Friday: arrived, was met by the adorable Poppy. Dropped my things at the Deluxe Apartment and then got back in the van. Lunch at the club (the penultimate in refined sophistication where Poppy ducked and ran so other members wouldn’t see her cargo pants!). Shopping for party supplies at Crate and Barrel. On to the supermarket where she shopped whilst I avoided the bike cop with the ticket book!
Back to the condo, staged for the cocktail gathering, chatted with the Adorable Mr. Buxom, awaited the guests. Mingled, more chatting, many glasses of champagne, I rounded out the evening with Thai food near midnight and a lovely glass of bourbon. Poppy hit the hay and Angie and I did our best quick clean up. Bed at about two in the morning. Woke at five, parched. Stumbled around the apartment looking for a bottle of water I was sure I saw earlier and…drank the melted ice water from the bottom of the champagne bucket, went back to bed.
Saturday: woke at about ten, threw on some clothes and stumbled down the block with Angie for some coffee. Sat around hydrating and holding our heads until our hostess arose, at which time we propped her up and had her drive us to breakfast with Ms. Lancaster! Fabulous pastries and a yogurt bar were inhaled and then serious float time began. The four of us proceeded to spend several hours lazily floating. Floating and talking. My preferred float was a noodle that I occasionally fell off of.
We floated so long that, upon de-pooling, several of us had a hard time with gravity. Got dressed and climbed into the vehicles for Wendy’s house – successfully navigated to for the first time ever, where we attended a retro Tupperware party presided over by a drag-queen. Hilarity ensued. Money was spent, retro snacks were enjoyed. Everyone wore aprons from Wendy’s impressive collection of vintage kitchen wear. Back to the apartment for Thai food leftovers (the best green chili chicken ever) where I could not stop exclaiming over the fact that it was not green (drunk much?). More talktalktalk, bed at midnight-ish.
Sunday: Wendy texted that Poppy had forgotten her phone. Meeting point chosen, we dragged our tired bodies to Watertower for some much-needed lunch and shopping. I had a drink called The Accomplice: muddled strawberries, gin, basil, prosecco and a sugar rimmed glass, which I could have eaten, it was so good. Wendy drove Angie to the train, Poppy and I cleaned/closed up the apartment and dragged our stuff (so much stuff!) down to the van for one of my favorite rides along the lakefront to Utopia (or whatever the hell Poppy calls her other town) where her adorable husband made us a lovely family dinner, where we sat on the porch in the breeze, with some wine until I-don’t-know-what o’clock. Passed out in the study, I arose at sevenish and arranged for a car to the aero port after doing the dance of joy upon hearing my flight would, in fact, leave. Rode with chitty chatty driver (sister was evacuated from an area five miles from my house) while I pondered what might await me in Tuvalu. Checked in with no trouble (am loving American Airlines – I know, weird) and ate a very bad bagel. Found my seat, put on the tunes, slept a bit and was met by my boyfriend K. Came home to a house that looked like it had weathered a storm but which, really, took no time at all to get back to normal.
Tired and happy, another Chicago visit for the books…or blogs as it were.
Sounds divine. So glad you had a wonderful time! Thanks for letting us participate vicariously after the fact.
I can't even believe this: I was in Chicago on Friday and Saturday. For a big knitting convention. Yes. I was. Ships in the night, Blackbird.
What a GREAT story to tell grandchildren.
Water from the champagne bucket? I think I would have taken my chances with the tap water.
You have the best girlfriend weekends ever.
Sounds like my recent weekend in LA with good friends. Good times! I'm glad you had them.
Thank goodness you covered things because you just know I'll never get around to it.
I do have an awesome (headless) picture of Wendy in her retro Tupperware Party hostess finery, though.
I was reading Jen Lancaster's My Fair Lazy this week... AND YOU WERE IN IT! I felt like I had met royalty or something. | 2019-04-20T12:38:07 | http://www.blackbirdseventeen.com/2011/08/internet-restored.html |
