In the New York Times, Eric Asimov reports on Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association v. Blair, to be argued before the United States Supreme Court, who will consider whether states can prohibit retail wine shops from shipping to consumers in another state.
“The Japanese wine industry is maturing… That’s led the government to take the first steps toward a true appellation system, noting on labels where grapes were grown. But that’s created a challenge for wineries, because most don’t own vineyards and many source fruit from multiple regions.” In Wine Spectator, Julian Littler reports on the impacts of new rules created for an appellation system for Japan’s growing wine industry.
On JancisRobinson.com, Richard Hemming MW explores how producers persuade us to drink their wine.

I won the @DavesGourmet Give Away!
Found this very interesting and also counter-intuitive, so I decided to share.

I have always been a believer of the wonders of US Dehydrated Potatoes. I have been working on various recipes using it and every time, I am falling for the convenience it brings. I have previously mentioned here on the blog that I am one of those old souls who appreciates the art of slow food. However, it does not negate the fact that sometimes, convenience and time come as a priority - especially when a situation calls for it.
I am a recipe developer and food stylist by trade so, it is important to me that the materials I am using for my clients are of good quality, convenient to use, versatile, and do not require too much time to prepare because in this profession, time is gold.
In recipe development, I often use US Potatoes - fresh, frozen, and dehydrated. I am a believer of the nutritional value that one can get from US Potatoes so it is part of my arsenal. I have shared recipes here on the blog that use both fresh and frozen US Potatoes. Now it's time to tackle US Dehydrated Potatoes. | 2019-04-26T09:59:42 | https://www.yedylicious.com/search/label/Korean%20Recipe |
Just a few days ago we found out that director Edgar Wright had parted ways with Marvel from what had been known as his passion project ANT-MAN. Over the past few days we’ve heard a few names being brought up and now we have some news to share and it comes straight from Marvel so I’m guessing this is official.
Peyton Reed is now on board to direct the movie with Adam McKay (who was also being considered to direct) coming in to help out with the script. This is going to be an action-comedy and the fact that McKay is staying on board gives me a little hope for this long overdue project.
Marvel’s ANT-MAN will hit theaters on July 17, 2015 and will star Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas so far. | 2019-04-22T10:19:20 | http://www.alienbee.net/its-official-director-peyton-reed-and-writer-adam-mckay-join-ant-man/ |

November 8, 2016 marked a turning point in history. But what is this turning point? How did we come to be where we are? Are we heading for another “great transformation” that will transform the political and economic world in which we live? What does the new political regime mean for different realms of social life? What will it mean for different dimensions of inequality? What will it mean for democracy, political parties and social movements? What will it mean for different countries, for global alliances, for war? Sociology faculty will turn the tools of their discipline on the present and the future that awaits us.

Promotional Marketing Products have become as serious part of the marketing mix - the usual suspects are pens, key rings, mugs and bags - they are staples of the promotional industry. To create a point of difference new Promotional Items have been sought and confectionery that comes in custom branded packaging has become a popular option.
But how do these products work you may ask? Any product type that can be provides a function is a good choice as a Promotional Item. Packs of Mints or Tins of Mints provide a very basic function and therefore going to have the recipient interacting with them straight away.

Of course there are no rules when using Promotional Custom Mints - the choice is yours! | 2019-04-18T20:46:37 | https://www.brandme.com.au/categories/mints |
If you want to succeed in any business, you need a strong brand. Be it a personal brand or a business brand. So what is a brand?
There are some misconceptions as to what a brand is. No, it’s not all about the visuals! A brand is so much more than a pretty logo and a business card. It’s how other people perceive your business. It’s the overall look and feel.
Branding consists of your brand mission, vision, and your core values. Furthermore, branding is about how you are different from other businesses out there. It’s the unique value you give to your customers, your voice and most importantly, personality. You cannot have a brand without any of these. If you think about it, you will agree with me.
You love coffee. Every morning before you go to work or school, you come by your favorite coffee shop to get your super strong double shot caramel macchiato. Now, it’s important to indicate that this coffee shop is not the closest to your home. You actually have to make an effort and walk 10 mins to this place. If you wanted to, you could get a coffee at the nearest coffee shop- a soulless place with a huge line. In fact, your friend Kylie loves this place! It’s so chic and vibrant. But you love the other place- it’s quiet and the coffee is so much better. So, which place is better?
The answer is: both are. It just depends on the customer and their values. And notice- they have different personalities- the small cozy, friendly place vs. the big, shiny, trendy place. See what I mean?
A strong brand serves several purposes.
First of all, it increases your brand recognition. You know how you immediately recognize Michael Kors’ logo on a bag? It’s simple, yet memorable.
Second, people are more likely to purchase from a business that appears legitimate and has a polished look. Would you purchase a $100 bag from a website with a logo that looks like a kid created it in MS Paint? Probably not. Remember: Premium brands can charge premium prices.
Last but not least, branding makes it easier to acquire new customers. If a person really likes your services or products, make sure she or he will recommend you. Can you imagine someone recommending you to your friends after seeing your crappy website or weird logo? I don’t think so.
If you are reading this, you might think “Oh, but I have a logo and a color palette, therefore, I have a brand. So, what are you talking about, Iglika? No, this is not branding, this is your brand identity. It’s the visuals you use in order to communicate your core values, beliefs, and vision. Sometimes people use the word branding to actually describe the brand identity.
Here’s an example of a custom brand design from the Etsy shop. | 2019-04-25T06:29:20 | https://www.lipstickandpixels.com/what-is-a-brand/ |

The folks at Balvenie have been a bit busy recently. In fact, that seems to be the way I start off most posts about them, so I suspect the ‘recently’ is more of a ‘for the last couple of years’. Their latest bit of busy-ness to cross my path is a new bottling that we’ve just got in – the new batch of their increasingly sought after Tun 1401.
With the distillery bottling sold out and favourable reports on Tun 1401 spreading, the distillery decided to make more, this time giving it a bit of a wider release than Dufftown: Batch 2 was released for the UK and Europe, and promptly won its category at the 2012 World Whisky Awards. Batch 3 was then bottled for the USA and Batch 4 was recently launched into travel retail. All sold rather well, with batches 2 and 3 now pretty much sold out (although we still have the occasional bottle of Batch 2 popping up) and further batches were inevitable.
Enter Tun 1401 Batch 5.
As with the previous batches, number 5 is a marrying of a small number of casks that David Stewart has found in the depths of the Balvenie warehouses – casks without a specifically assigned destiny that he rather liked the look of. Batch 5 uses nine casks (the capacity of the eponymous marrying vat) – 4 sherry butts from 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1975; 3 bourbon hogsheads from 1966 (the oldest cask in the mix, filled just 4 years after David started working at the distillery), 1972 and 1973; and 2 bourbon barrels from 1974 and 1991.
The casks yielded a total of 2862 bottles, released at cask strength, of which 800 are destined for the UK, with the other 2000 going to selected markets in Europe (for those further afield – Batch 6 is marrying as I type).
Nose: Beeswax, runny honey, dried orange peel, sweet spice, Juicy Fruit chewing gum, mango and tropical fruit juice all up front. Hiding underneath all that was some dark sherry notes with dark chocolate, raisins and less sweet spice – cloves, liquorice root and cinnamon.
Palate: A smack of rich and spicy sherried fruit up front, with raisins and cinnamon backed up by old polished wood, leather, dried cherries and cloves. However, given a bit of time in the glass and on the tongue there’s a waxiness that appears, along with floral honey and a touch more of the Juicy Fruit gum sweetness.
Finish: Dark chocolate raisins, squishy currants, pine resin, unchopped tobacco leaves and lingering old wood.
Comments: Not what I expected at all. It takes the regular honeyed Balvenie profile and then twists it with some excellent old sherried whisky and some waxy and fruity bourbon matured spirit. I really enjoyed it.
Nose: Pretty entrancing. Big, rich sherry and varnished oaky notes, with bark, old leaves (in a good way), then some darker treacle and black cherry notes.
Palate: Doesn’t disappoint. Intensely richly-flavoured without being cloying or overpowering. As with the nose, the emphasis is very much on the sherry, something I hadn’t previously associated with Balvenie until the show-stopping Craftsmen’s Reserve: The Cooper a few months back. Great concentration of rich dried fruit, then becomes pleasingly dry mid-palate – poss one or two Oloroso casks? A developing chocolatey note with water.
Finish: Long, multi-faceted and pleasingly drying – very moreish.
Comments: Absolutely terrific stuff, another wonderful surprise from the Balvenie.
So, I’d rocked up for the evening Balvenie do – the awards ceremony for the Balvenie Masters of Craft competition.
I’ll confess that I have a love/hate relationship with my suit. On one hand, and to its immense credit, in combination with a shave and a recently-ironed shirt it makes me look as presentable as I can be, while managing to both accomodate and disguise my expanding girth. On the other hand, in hot weather it’s like being in a neck-high sarcophagus. In London, of course, this is not normally a problem. However, on both of the occasions I’ve had to wear my suit in 2012 it has turned out to be the hottest day of the year.
As a result, I must confess that the notes above were taken very much off the cuff while I was standing in front of an air-conditioning unit on full blast in an attempt to prevent myself dissolving into a puddle of damp, sweaty cloth. As such, I don’t think I’ve even scratched the surface with this whisky, but what I found was more than enough to convince me to shell out for it when it turns up. It may be expensive, and my already heavily-laden credit card is quietly weeping in the corner, but quality of this kind is unusual and given that the youngest whisky in the mix is 21 years old I don’t think the pricetag is OTT.
However, regular readers of the blog will perhaps already have worked out that all of this was entirely beside the point. The evening do, thankfully, was not about sweaty overweight men in their late thirties (although I certainly wasn’t the only one of that species in attendance), nor even about the new Tun 1401 – that was just a very welcome extra treat – it was about celebrating the fine work of the nominees for the Balvenie Masters of Craft Awards.
These awards are only in their second year, but it’s clear that they are already both very prestigious and highly prized by the craft community – as evidenced by the presence of Grand Designs head honcho Kevin McCloud on the judging panel, the involvement of the Sunday Telegraph as official media partner, the impassioned, moving speech given by Patricia Lovett, the Vice Chair of the Heritage Craft Association and the fact that this year’s awards received three times the number of entries as last year’s inaugural event.
The dinner was held in the Abraham Lincoln room downstairs at the Savoy, a beautiful space that was further illuminated by a speech from the hotel’s in-house archivist Susan Scott, who gave us an insight into the extraordinarily extensive restoration of the hotel, which began at the end of 2007 and ended up taking three years and costing over £200 million.
Over the course of the meal prizes were awarded in seven material-based categories including Metal, Glass & Ceramics, Food, Leather, Textiles, Stone and Wood with each category being introduced by one of the judges, who gave further insights into the importance of both the crafts and the awards that honour them. There were also awards for the Young Master of Craft and a Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Robert George Armstrong, a thatcher from Salisbury with decades of devotion to practicing his craft under his belt.
Each of the finalists from the materials awards was considered for the overall title of the Balvenie Master of Craft 2012, with Heather Gillespie – a copper wheel glass engraver who had earlier triumphed in the Glass & Ceramics category – walking away with the gong.
I have to say that the whole event was an eye-opener for me – I had no idea that the craft scene in the UK was in such rude health, but judging by the youth of many of the finalists and the outstanding quality of all the work on display these are exciting times for British crafts. There’s no doubt that the mental demarcation line between ‘Arts’ and ‘Crafts’ in my head has been permanently blurred, and there’s no doubt that many of the works we saw in Nick Hand’s superb photographs of the finalists would grace any gallery they found themselves in. Nick was also one of the judges and spoke eloquently about his affection and respect for the participating competitors. I was particularly taken with the shots he’d taken of Stone category-winner Callum Gray’s dry stone-walled firepit.
I suppose I have frequently been guilty of thinking of craft as something mostly built for a functional purpose, with occasional stylistic flourishes. Not any more – there’s no question for me now that the best in craft is far more than that – it’s a group term for a multitude of traditions of art and sculpture with additional functional or practical purposes, and everyone who practices it, whatever level of skill or artistry they achieve, performs a valuable role in the preservation of those traditions, many of which go back centuries or even milennia.
It was therefore both heartening and humbling to witness the effort, dedication, talent and commitment poured into their work by the craftspeople at the event – and a privilege for a talentless no-mark such as myself, who can’t draw a straight line with a ruler or put up a set of shelves, to be in the same room as these artists.
Which brings us to the Chair of the Judges: David Stewart, The Balvenie’s Malt Master, now in his 50th year of service to William Grant & Sons, the owners of Balvenie and Glenfiddich (as well as Kininvie, Monkey Shoulder, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, Hendrick’s Gin and Reyka Vodka, in case you weren’t aware).
David has been Malt Master at Balvenie since 1974 – the year your correspondent here was born – and his decades of loyal service and enduring talent for producing and assembling the finest single malts most certainly qualify him as a Master Crafstman, and have led to him receiving several Lifetime Achievement Awards himself. The spectacular Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch 5 reviewed above is just the latest of his remarkable creations, and I’m sure I’m not alone in hoping that David continues to practice his craft in his own inimitable way for many years to come.
Many thanks to Balvenie for putting on a really fantastic event, and I hope that all of the extremely talented craftspeople at the ceremony continue to get the recognition and respect that their hard work and commitment deserve.
I am the recipient of The Lifetime Achievement Award at this years Balvenie Awards at the Savoy in London.
I agree with you it was a very special event in the craft industry which I am proud to be part of. The winners are all wonderful people who are truly dedicated to their craft. Long may it stay that way. | 2019-04-22T01:52:57 | https://blog.thewhiskyexchange.com/2012/07/balvenie-a-crafty-bunch/ |

Columbia Pictures presents Sony Pictures Animation's first-full length feature film, the animated action-adventure comedy OPEN SEASON, in which Boog (Martin Lawrence), a grizzly bear with no survival skills, has his perfect world in the tranquil town of Timberline turned upside-down when he meets Elliot (Ashton Kutcher), a scrawny, fast-talking wild mule deer. When Elliot convinces Boog to desert his idyllic existence with his beloved Park Ranger Beth (Debra Messing), who raised him since he was a cub, and try the "wild" life, things quickly spiral out of control. With open season upon them, and the hunters arriving in force, Elliot must help Boog get in touch with his inner grizzly to unite the woodland creatures and take the forest back!
Open Season is based on the humor of cartoonist Steve Moore ("In the Bleachers") who, along with John Carls, serves as executive producer. The film is directed by Roger Allers (THE LION KING) and Jill Culton (MONSTERS, INC. and TOY STORY 2). The co-director is Anthony Stacchi (ANTZ). The producer is Michelle Murdocca (STUART LITTLE and STUART LITTLE 2). Legendary singer-songwriter Paul Westerberg created original songs and score for this film. The CG animation is by Sony Pictures Imageworks. | 2019-04-21T00:47:16 | http://www.sonypicturesanimation.com/films.php?s=openseason |
The show offers a focused survey of major works from the artist’s entire career, including Personage sculptures from the late 1940s, Cell installations from the 1990s, the fabric works from her final decade, and the monumental spider sculpture Maman.
What is expressed in post-modern art and what the viewers feel has the same value. Doug Atiken is good at using his work to describe a poetic transformation. In the exhibition at FAURSCHOU FOUNDATION, Doug Atiken is also describing the meaning of the transformation.
As a woman, she picks up art weapons, attacks unbalanced gender relationships and continues to question the fate of the female. As a person chasing freedom, she was reluctantly reborn with pain, from healing the wounds of life to releasing spiritual freedom, which remind us of what true vitality really is.
The exhibition is presented with two clues: documentary and works for discussion on Zheng Jin’s oeuvre.
“PIONEERING: Chinese Artists Abroad in France and Chinese Modern Art (1911-1949)” will remain on view till March 3.
As the first national sculpture scholarship in the history of modern Chinese sculpture, it has reached a junction in its ten-year journey.
There is no doubt that ink and wash is an important cultural resource for our participation in international dialogue today.

Be Bold, Go for Gold!
From the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) meeting in 2002 to the present day, Open Access has come a long way, and this week we celebrate the 10th annual Open Access Week! This year’s focus spearheaded by SPARC is around “Open in order to…“ with the goal of highlighting the benefits of Open Access. PLOS has published another post on our efforts for Open Access Week, and so here it seems a good time to consider the nuances of the various flavours (colours) of Open Access available to researchers today and what they are Open in order to achieve.
If you’re a researcher reading this, please take some time to consider your options the next time you are selecting what journal to submit your research to (and while you’re considering, go ahead and submit your research to a preprint server to further expedite the dissemination of your scientific research).
The value of Open Access in its current form is something that leading scholars and thinkers continue to debate (Richard Poynder & Michael Eisen to name but two). And to those who consider that the Open Access movement has not been successful, the percentage of research that is Open Access speaks for itself in terms of improving the availability of published research; it’s fair to say, however, that the affordability of Open Access and publishing is a thornier issue.
Some of the initial goals of Open Access and PLOS were also about challenging the existing STM publishing infrastructure and addressing the oligopoly of academic publishers. There’s plenty of work still to be done here, and while the idea of a more transformative and disruptive approach to overturn academic publishing would be welcomed, there’s also value in continuing to provide Gold Open Access journals and working with the traditional (risk-averse) researchers to persuade them away from Closed Access, or even hybrid Open Access journals.
For those unfamiliar with them, hybrid Open Access publications (sometimes referred to as double dippers) are those that charge a subscription fee, but which also offer—for an extra Article Processing Charge (APC)—the option to submitting authors of immediate Open Access to their research at the time of publication. Recent data from the University of Cambridge has shown that in 2016, the spend from their Open Access APC pot of money to support publication charges reached in excess of €1.5M on hybrid APC charges as compared with just over €0.5M on Gold OA APCs. And so the successful business model for Open Access has served to further fill the coffers of several large commercial publishers.
We need to cover all bases: we need innovative disruptors who put forward new Open Access models and mechanisms to reinvent how academics disseminate their findings. But we also need to recognise that although we don’t yet have the 21st century game-changing innovation, there are infrastructures in place that are better at overcoming barriers to access and reuse, and which provide a potential stepping stone towards both bringing the community around and allowing exploration of new models with the content housed therein. Full text, mineable and searchable XML, and APIs over open content and open data open many, many opportunities for the innovative disruptors to take the content and go crazy with ideas of how we can—and should—do this better.
However, we are where we are, and research and scholarly STM publishing is ongoing. Researchers today are faced with a variety of options of where to publish. When deciding where to publish, all researchers make choices, and my guess is that still today, the value of ‘Open’ probably does not take precedence over the requirements of funder and Institution, along with the perceived ‘impact’ of the journal (not to mention how those researchers are assessed depending on the country/Institution where they are based, but that’s a whole other blog post…). The details of the license under which they publish may well be background noise in the life of a much-harried researcher, and the nuances of a Gold and Green colour scheme for Open Access are also probably lost to most*.
A few years back, PLOS implemented the How Open Is It campaign to provide researchers with a guide to assess the openness and licensing offered by various publishers and this stands as a very useful Open Access Spectrum guide for anyone who wants more information.
For the easiest way forwards with your research today though, there are ever more Gold Open Access journals for researchers to consider, and the easiest way to tick all boxes required by funder and Institutes, AND to ensure that the full benefits of Open Access in order to permit access, findability, and reuse are achieved, is to choose from among those Gold journals.
*A loose definition for anyone who doesn’t know: Gold Open Access is when research is openly available immediately upon publication with a CC BY license allowing for reuse; Green is generally when an author’s final version is self-archived somewhere at time of publication or within an embargo period—it does not necessarily allow for reuse or text mining as would be possible under CC BY.
Be Bold & Go Gold! Submit your research to PLOS Biology.
Incidentally, we are also celebrating PLOS Biology’s 14th birthday this month, which seems a great opportunity to thank all of our contributors (editors, authors, reviewers) without whom none of this would be possible. Keep those submissions coming, and join me in wishing PLOS Biology a very Happy Birthday! | 2019-04-19T18:53:50 | https://blogs.plos.org/biologue/2017/10/26/be-bold-go-for-gold/ |

Over the years, I have helped expectant mothers to better enjoy their pregnancy and reap the benefits of chiropractic, a safe and natural approach to health maintenance, which is essential during the prenatal period, a time when the female body sustains added trauma and stress.
Without the use of drugs or surgery, adjustments performed by a chiropractor can provide relief to women enduring the pain and discomfort brought on by the physical modifications and compensations that occur during pregnancy. A common ailment among pregnant women is pain in the lower back area, which may be caused by subluxations in the spine as the center of gravity shifts towards the front of the pelvis, increasing the back’s natural curvature and placing added pressure on spinal discs and joints. This extra pressure can negatively affect the nervous system by compressing and irritating nerves, causing chronic pain that may worsen if left untreated. With the use of non-invasive spinal decompression treatments, both manual and computer-assisted, my team and I are able to safely and effectively restore alignment and eliminate back pain that is common in expectant mothers.
Optimum health during pregnancy translates to a lower risk of delivery complications as well as increased comfort and ease during labor and delivery. Through careful and thorough examination, which is safe for both mother and baby, we are able to detect and correct pelvic misalignments that may reduce the available space for the child to develop and move into the correct position for birth; in some cases if the baby is unable to reach the proper position, an emergency cesarean section is usually required. Recent studies show that mothers who receive adjustments during pregnancy also experience decreased labor times; by up to 24% for first-time mothers and up to 39% for multiparous patients. | 2019-04-21T04:56:33 | http://www.taylorchiro.ca/chiropractic-care-can-be-key-to-a-comfortable-pregnancy/ |

One of the most popular works of art on the planet, Leonard da Vinci’s The Last Supper has been recreated to death. However, no tote bag or mouse cushion or even large scale propagation can be enough to catch da Vinci’s sincerely charged painting. Unlike frescoes, which are painted on wet surfaces and along these lines must be finished rather rapidly, da Vinci utilized tempera based paint paints on a dry divider, in the wake of fixing the stone with dried mortar and including an undercoat of white lead to accomplishing more good glow. It’s surprising and overpowering – even regardless of the way that Jesus’ feet were lost in the year 1652 because of some ill-thought considered remodels.
Constructed more than several years ago, with the contribution from da Vinci himself, Milan’s navigation and interconnected waterways allowed the city more accessible to the outside world. Today, the Naviglio Grande and Naviglio Pavese are a portion of the main trenches still visible, and around them have jumped up a torrent of bars, restaurants, and bistros with action on end of the week evenings. Pull up a stool at Rita and Cocktails for a Gin Zen, or Rebelot for a great glass of wine. For amazing views at a leisurely pace, join a boat visit and unwind as you are cleared around the city sights.
The aperitivo is viewed as an establishment in Milan, and no visit would be finished without sharing in this pre-supper custom. The tradition got its begin in the late-nineteenth century, when Gaspare Campari, plan on serving a drink that stimulated instead of ruining the hunger, started serving his eponymous unpleasant aperitif. As more drinks were created, more snack was added to the contributions; it is normal to find bars with expanded buffet spreads. Usually enjoyed in the middle of 7 pm and 9 pm, it’s normal for the best spots to be packed. However, that network soul is the aperitivo ethos.
Since its establishment by Archduchess Maria Theresa in the late-eighteenth century, the Teatro Alla Scala has stayed one of the best musical drama theaters in Europe. We would suggest a night out at this amazing assembly hall; it’s an ordeal like no other. In any case, if you do not have room schedule-wise if you want to sit through a whole night of the musical show, visit the exhibition hall rather, where you can lay your eyes at the sublime red and gold inside. | 2019-04-25T22:07:32 | http://www.autismeuneapprocheplurielle.org/things-to-do-in-milan/ |
AmCham Czech Republic publishes a new report within the Czech Workforce series. Year-on-year in Prague in 2016, employment of Research and development managers recorded a decrease by 10.62%, while in other regions, the number of the positions stagnated.
Is pay raise or different job the key to increasing prosperity?
CSSD has set the goal of increasing the average wage by 45%. Everyone should be for it, as long an employment stays high. The question, then, is how to achieve this. A quick analysis of the occupational structure of the Czech economy shows that the economy still generates more jobs in low-wage occupations and fewer jobs in high-wage occupations than advanced economies of the EU. CSSD's focus on building a research economy seems the best bet of the four policy solutions they have proposed. | 2019-04-26T14:42:07 | http://www.czechcompete.cz/economic-policy/employment-and-social-affairs/page:6 |

PINEHURST – New mothers at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital are encouraged, whenever possible, to begin breastfeeding within minutes of their baby’s birth.
For these and other reasons, the maternity center at Moore Regional has received two stars in the North Carolina Maternity Center Breastfeeding-Friendly Designation initiative that recognizes maternity centers for promoting and supporting breastfeeding.
As of June of this year, 56 percent of Moore Regional’s mothers with newborns were breastfeeding exclusively, up 11 percent from the 45 percent of May.
The North Carolina Breastfeeding-Friendly designation is based on a five-star system. A maternity center gets a star for every two steps it achieves in “Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding” as defined by the World Health Organization and Baby Friendly USA.
According to Hutchinson, Moore Regional’s two-star designation indicates that its maternity center has demonstrated that it provides the same kind of breastfeeding support that many other hospitals in the state provide. She expects that it will take only a little more staff and physician education on the breastfeeding “Ten Steps” for the Moore Regional Maternity Center to reach the four-star level it hopes to achieve by October.
The staff of the Maternity Center at Moore Regional Hospital includes two lactation consultants who consult with every breastfeeding mother.
According to Breastfeeding Friendly criteria, a successful breastfeeding program includes, in addition to the information already mentioned, a written breastfeeding policy that is routinely communicated to all maternity center staff as well as staff training in the skills necessary to implement the policy. All pregnant women are also informed about the benefits and management of breastfeeding and are shown how to breastfeed and to maintain lactation even if they should be separated from their infant. | 2019-04-19T08:22:10 | https://www.firsthealth.org/lifestyle/news-events/2016/8/moore-regional-earns-two-stars-in-state-breastfeeding-program |
Tooling process is an important part of the manufacturing process. Corrected and good tooling way can help you not only in saving cost but also in shortening lead-time. Here, we are going to address some common questions such as what it is, why it important and what it costs.
Tooling is the process which is purposed for better and higher efficiency production. Tooling can be separated into different catalogues. Injection mold tooling, die casting tool, stamping tool are the most common tooling for low to high volume production. Also, work holding tooling such as fixtures and jigs that are assisted on manufacturing.
The quality of tooling always bears on the final part’s manufacturing. For the product mold tool, it is purposed for volume runs molding, the molded part depends on the precision and characteristics of the tooling. So tooling is a critical factor which relates on the part’s quality.
What should tooling usually cost?
The tooling cost will change from project to project depends on many variables such as quantities, tool material, finish, structure etc. The tooling cost now is transparent, with the developing of technology, the cost for tooling is low now, you may buy mold or tooling in China, which should be less expensive than other countries. At TEAM Rapid, the tooling starts at 700 USD.

A 26-year old Michigan woman who was officially declared brain dead following two fatal brain aneurysms, gave birth to twins a few weeks later.
The twins, Alexander and Nicholas, although premature, were delivered by means of Caesarean section and weigh around 1 lb 4 oz and 1 lb and 9 oz respectively, mlive.com reported.
Christine Bolden was reportedly hale and hearty when in March she suddenly suffered from a terrible headache and collapsed. Upon investigation, it was found that two aneurysms that were hidden from birth had burst open.
"It was a hurting feeling. Going [to the hospital] seeing her lying there. We used to rub on her belly and talk to the babies," her aunt Danielle Bolden told 24 Hours News 8.
"God, he could have taken her and the boys," said Danielle. "But he left the boys. That's a miracle."
Although the doctors hoped that she would be able to carry the twins for the complete duration, her pressure became too high to keep the babies safely.
"I can't wait to be able to touch them and pick them up and tell them all about their mother and give them so much love," Vance Terrell, Christine's brother, told mlive.com. "They're so precious."
Even after Christine was officially declared brain dead, her family never gave up hope thinking that she would somehow survive to see her little boys. They started the grieving process by making T-shirts in memory of Christine's passing and even printed an official obituary.
This is not the first time that a woman in coma has given birth. According to the Huffington Post, in 2001, a woman, Chastity Cooper, was able to carry her baby to full-term after falling into a coma following a car accident. She was only two weeks pregnant at the time of the accident.
Hospital officials say that Christine's newborn twins are in a fragile condition and that they are keeping a careful eye on the boys. | 2019-04-22T15:35:34 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/woman-declared-officially-brain-dead-miraculously-gives-331729 |

Crocus, Snowdrops, Siberian Squill. Bleeding Heart (Dicentra). Dandelions and clover.
Herbs: Just about any herb draws lots of little bees and other beneficial insects once they flower. The beneficial insects give you an extra bonus of pest control.
Mints, Catnip, Basil, Sage, Thyme, Oregano, Lavender, Chives, Verbena, Marjoram, Cilantro/Coriander, Dill.
Berries: Berries feed a variety of native bees — and you!
Fruiting vegetables: Some bees have specialized skills for families of vegetables. Squash Bees only pollinate cucurbits. Bumblebees can shake the flowers of nightshades to buzz-pollinate them, and are strong enough to climb into the flowers of legumes.
Cucurbits: Cucumbers, Summer Squash, Winter Squash, Pumpkins, Melons, Watermelons; Nightshades: Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant; Legumes: Peas, Beans.
Leafy vegetables: If your greens start to bolt in the heat, let some flower. The four-petalled yellow flowers of crucifers will make the bees happy.
Broccoli, Radishes, Turnips, Collards, Bok Choy, Chinese Broccoli.
Annual flowers: Usually have a long flowering season, which helps feed bees all summer. Look for heirloom varieties with single flowers. Organic and untreated seeds and starts are widely available.
Cosmos, Bachelor buttons, Lobelia, Zinnias, Cleome, Fuschia, Heliotrope, Lantana, Tithonia, Morning Glories, Sunflowers, Sweet Alyssum, Snapdragons.
Perennial flowers: Often flower only for a short time, but give generously to bees when they do. Organic and untreated live plants are hard to find. Organic and untreated seed are widely available.

Business loans are a great source for much-needed cash flow.
Starting a business can be exciting; however, if you’re not keen on risking your hard earned cash or investments to fund your dream, it may be ideal for you to take out a loan. You don’t have to worry about answering to investors, or dealing with upsetting a loved one to borrow money or put all your faith in a half-baked GoFundMe campaign. Get the cash you need within hours, and make low monthly payments as you get your business going.
Need to hire new employees? Get some cash to cover their training and pay. If you need to make a key hire and would like to make sure that payroll is covered for the next few months, a business loan ensures that you have cash on hand when the perfect person becomes available to join your business.
Looking to produce a new product, mass produce a prototype, or fund licensing for a new service? A business loan offers the flexibility to finance this temporary cash shortfall so that you can fulfill your orders and grow your business.
If you just need some cash to cover expenses during the times of the year when your business isn’t booming, a business loan may be the way to go as you wait for cash flow to rebound during the off-season.
Moving your office, opening a new location, or even doing upgrades to your current space can be extremely costly. With that being said, a business loan will allow you to hang on to your cash, and move to the space that you deserve without having to compromise on your vision. Flexibility with repayment will enable you to keep your cash so that you can expand your business in other ways as you settle into your new space, without having to worry about a balloon cash payment up front for your new digs. As we said before… affordable monthly payments may be a better option for your current needs in this situation.
6. Need to purchase, replace, or repair equipment? A loan may be what you need.
Equipment can make or break your business. Your business may not be able to wait until you can save up enough money to fix it. Or in some cases, your business may rely on equipment that is fully functional in order for you to receive cash. In that case, a business loan that can be funded the same day can keep your business rolling without missing a beat.
7. Get the word out there by taking a loan to fund your marketing and advertising efforts.
Need a few more clients or pump up the volume on your customer flow? Is your brand outdated and in need of a facelift in order to remain competitive? A business loan may be great to fund the rollout of your marketing efforts. Because the payment terms are more flexible, your campaign will pay for itself over time, versus you having to stress about making an immediate ROI on your efforts.
8. Purchase another business with a business loan.
Business purchases can happen in a number of ways. If the prospective business requires all cash up front, that may put you in a bit of a pickle. While you may be able to negotiate terms with the seller, you may want to see if you qualify for a loan to cover the cost of the business just in case. Or, if you are able to negotiate a better deal because you have cash, a loan may be able to give you the flexibility that you need as you take on this new venture.
As you can see, a business loan can be used to fund a number of needs for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Hang on to your cash and speak to a professional today to get the funding that you need to pay for the things that you need to take your business to the next level. With flexible repayment terms and no prepayment penalties, a business loan may be an option that you should consider the next time that you need to dip into your cash reserves for your business.
At LoanMe, we’re able to help business get the funding that they need, as we have a number of loan options. Contact us today to get pre-qualified without affecting your personal credit. | 2019-04-20T03:05:25 | https://www.loanme.com/Blog/Archive/2019/1/8-Reasons-Why-a-Small-Business-Loan-Can-Help-Your-Company |

The definition of “engaged” is to be busy with some activity. Occupied, committed, involved. So disengaged would be just the opposite. Not busy, occupied, committed, or involved. Unfortunately, many managers who consider themselves to be very engaged in their employees’ activities are actually not so engaged after all.
Why don’t we utilize our management teams the way we play scramble golf? Why do we put people into roles that they are clearly not qualified for or experienced enough to be able to handle? Why don’t we implement a scramble management concept?
Managing employees is not easy. I have said this numerous times in numerous blog posts and articles. In order to manage and coach employees, you have to want to manage and coach employees. And if you actually want to manage and coach employees, you will do what you need to do in order to become better at the task at hand. One thing is for sure, managing by the seat of your pants doesn’t work!
If you have ever traveled the Underground in London, you will have seen signs and announcements to “mind the gap.” Some platforms on the London Underground are curved and the railroad cars that use the platforms are straight, thus a gap is created when a train stops at a curved platform. “Mind the Gap” warns passengers of the risk of sustaining injury by stepping into the gap.
Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary defines a mentor as a “trusted counselor or guide.” It is generally someone who has been through what you are currently going through. It is someone who has the experience and the ability to utilize that experience to guide someone who is less experienced. It is someone who can take the “book learning” and apply it to real-life situations.
If you’ve ever hired anyone, you know that hiring is more of an art than a science. You simply can’t make it a totally objective process. There are ways to make it as objective as possible, and these should definitely be used; however, much of it comes down to subjectivity and our own inert biases.
Is there a better way for businesses to find good candidates? I think there is. Given that all businesses try to run lean and mean, and many companies just don’t have bandwidth to truly vet candidates, here are six things to consider trying when you are looking for your next employee.
At some point in our careers, many of us will be promoted to management. Getting promoted to management in most cases means that we are now in charge of managing people. Very seldom are people totally prepared for what it takes to manage a group of people with different personalities, goals, challenges, and attitudes. | 2019-04-18T12:51:50 | https://www.whiterockbusiness.net/category/company/page/3/ |

If I remember correctly, Essien was one of the first players where I really invested myself into the transfer saga. I would wait for daily updates to determine the likelihood of him arriving at the Bridge. When he finally arrived it was a great feeling as I knew exactly what player we would receive.

I’d actually planned on having a different companion review to accompany Roy Ward Baker’s American debut Don’t Bother to Knock (1952), but Night Without Sleep (1952) remains elusive, which is a pity, because this very skilled director made some solid suspense films for Fox before heading back to England, where he helmed A Night to Remember (1958) and several Hammer and Hammer-styled horror films.
It’s quite a shame that Baker’s (apparently) never been given a detailed career bio – his work extended well into his seventies before he retired in 1992, and passed away at 93 in 2010 – but perhaps the many phases and periods of his filmography requires more research, given he also worked in TV between projects from 1962 onwards, and like Val Guest (The Quatermass Xperiment, Au Pair Girls) and Charles Crichton (The Lavender Hill Mob, Space: 1999), Baker weathered the production crash that affected the country’s domestic film industry during the 1970s.
Sam Fuller, the colourful & eccentric maverick who came into his own as an auteur of tabloid crime, war, and western films, may not have been as prolific, but his provocative filmography has been examined in book form, documentaries, and in themed collections on DVD and now Blu-ray.
After a busy period with studios Fox and Columbia, Fuller’s career changed gears in the 1960s, and he found work via foreign productions, films & TV in Germany. He later returned to the U.S. to make the autobiographical WWII drama The Big Red One (1980), and the flawed but fascinating film version of Romain Gary’s White Dog (1982), which remained unreleased in North America before it popped up on cable TV in the 1990s. White Dog received a proper, legal DVD via Criterion in 2008, and the label also released his indie diptych Shock Corridor (1963) and The Naked Kiss (1964) on laserdisc, DVD, and Blu-ray.
It’s perhaps no surprise that Criterion’s latest release announcements this past Monday includes Fuller’s Forty Guns (1957), but the recent lovefest for this eccentric provocateur includes several Blu-ray releases by Twilight Time – namely The Crimson Kimono (1959) and Underworld U.S.A. (1961) – and a boxed set from Britain’s Indicator, titled Samuel Fuller at Columbia: 1937-1961.
I hope to dig into that monster set closer to Xmas (maybe it’ll go on special on Black Friday…), but for now, I’ve paired the two tales of disturbed characters. Underworld U.S.A. follows a punk as he infiltrates the mob to gradually knock off the men responsible for his father’s murder, and Don’t Bother to Knock has an early co-starring role for Marilyn Monroe as a babysitter whose sadness and delusions endanger a child. Both are giddy little B-movies, and benefit from fine casting, strong performances, and taut direction.
Coming next: two very liberal interpretations of Genghis Khan – Omar Sharif as the Mongol nation builder / brutal leader in the underrated Genghis Khan (1965), and… yeah… John Wayne… in the Howard Hughes-produced idiocy The Conqueror (1956), released in a nice widescreen anamorphic special edition by KOCH Media Germany on a Region 2 DVD back in 2007. | 2019-04-22T14:57:18 | http://kqek.com/mobile/?p=18357 |
Perceval Blackfang was considered the best elementalist in all of Kryta, he was specially skilled with fire magic, as everyone could see in his armour decorated with fire he had casted himself.
One day, Lord Faren, a very close friend of Perceval, told him that Logan Thackeray requested his presence for a very important matter, a mission ordered by the queen, to honor the peace treaty with the Charr they sent Perceval to fight alongside them in the war against the Fire Legion.
Perceval traveled to the far regions of Ascalon, from the blazerige steppes, where the branded swarm the area, to fireheart rise, where Baelfire's army worship their fire gods.
He spent months with the Charr, but they couldn't apprehend Gaheron Baelfire, the leader of the Fire Legion. So Perceval returned home, his mission was over.
At the throne room, queen Jennah congratulated him and she awarded him with a beautiful staff, crafted by the best artisans in the kingdom.
After the meeting with the queen. Perceval returned home, where his wife was waiting for him, the hugged each other, after a long journey, he was finally home, but not for long, when he was leaving the throne room, he heard that Shaemoor was under Centaur attack and Logan Thackeray was leading the defense, Perceval left his home once more, to help the people in need.
His previous mission had finished, but his story had just begun.

Fidelity launches a new company conceived to trade cryptos and a new digital marketplace to help advisors deepen existing integrations. Envestnet | Yodlee Risk Insight Solutions will be integrated with Freddie Mac. Edmond Walters joins AdvisorStream’s board of directors. CAIS will bolster BB&T Securities’ alternative investment offerings. Redtail rolls out advanced AI capabilities. Vestmark acquires Adhesion.
Fidelity Investments is launching a new company to offer custody and trade executions of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets.
The goal of Fidelity Digital Asset Services is to make things like bitcoin more available to sophisticated institutional investors such as hedge funds, family offices, and market intermediaries, according to Abigail Johnson, chairman and CEO of Fidelity Investments.
Fidelity Digital Assets will launch in early 2019 with support for bitcoin and ether, and will offer over-the-counter trade execution and order routing. Functionality for independent registered investment advisers is on the roadmap for next year.
Fidelity Institutional has integrations with more than 100 third-party technology vendors and now it’s launching a new digital marketplace to help advisers make sense of all the tools available.
First announced in February, the Wealthscape Integration Xchange features a menu of technologies, such as financial planning, portfolio management, and client relationship management, that explains what integrations are available. There are about a dozen third-party tools on the Integration Xchange currently, and Fidelity said it is adding more tools and deepening integrations with existing providers.
Envestnet | Yodlee (NYSE: ENV), a leading data aggregation and data analytics platform powering dynamic, cloud-based innovation for digital financial services, today announced its Envestnet | Yodlee Risk Insight Solutions will be integrated with Freddie Mac automated income and asset assessment capabilities. Freddie Mac will leverage Envestnet | Yodlee’s Risk Insight Solutions to help lenders improve the borrower experience, loan pull through, operational efficiencies and per loan profit margins.
The automated income and asset capabilities are available in Loan Product Advisor®, Freddie Mac’s automated underwriting system. The Envestnet | Yodlee Risk Insight Solutions integration with Loan Product Advisor leverages a previously ordered Risk Insights verification of assets, delivering greater automation and transparency in the loan production process allowing Freddie Mac’s clients to originate loans with a single system of record using data that stays in sync between Envestnet | Yodlee and Freddie Mac.
Marketing automation platform AdvisorStream will add Edmond Walters to its board of directors, the company announced. The founder and former CEO of eMoney Advisor, which was sold to Fidelity in 2015, will be joining the board effective immediately.
Walters has spent more than two decades in the financial services industry and has positioned himself as a defender of the financial advisor, once promising to “kick the crap out of the B2C robos.” He will be joining AdvisorStream as it positions itself to expand across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, targeting registered investment advisors and broker/dealers.
Walters’ experience with growing advisor technology companies and understanding advisors’ tools will benefit AdvisorStream, said company’s Founder and CEO Kevin Mulhern.
CAIS was selected by BB&T Securities to bolster its menu of alternative investment offerings. With CAIS, BB&T Securities, a wholly owned subsidiary of BB&T Corporation, will gain access to premier hedge funds, private equity and debt, real estate and other non-traditional investment strategies for its financial advisors.
Redtail Technology (“Redtail”), a leading provider of client relationship management (CRM) solutions for financial services firms, announced the rollout of advanced artificial intelligence capabilities that will enable advisory firms of all sizes to access valuable data and trends about current and prospective clients directly within the CRM.
Redtail’s machine-learning features will make natural language processing accessible and affordable for the advisory community. Using the concept of “transfer learning,” Redtail can utilize smaller amounts of data to begin the learning process. The system then analyzes emails, notes and text messages to predict and estimate client needs, create better outcomes, and discover important connections that enable all parties to make better financial decisions.

Novacroft was the only Northampton-based business to be invited to comment on the Small Business Outlook 2014 report launched by think tank Centre for Cities on 25 June.
Founder and CEO Debra Charles was interviewed by BBC North East radio and television news after it was revealed that this second annual healthcheck of small and medium sized firms placed Northampton in seventh position out of 64 UK cities in terms of SME performance.
The ranking reflects the high number of businesses in the city assessed as being among the country’s most productive and profitable and at the forefront of driving the economic recovery.
These are the businesses, the report suggests, that have pursued ‘high growth’ strategies which have seen them competing on quality rather than price, focusing on innovation, investing in training and offering customised products and services.
Firms that adopted higher growth strategies are less likely to have taken cost-cutting approaches during the recession and are now more likely to be actively recruiting and expanding their businesses.
Northampton used to be known for its shoe industry but I believe it won’t be long before it’s known as the centre of innovation.
Our strategy has been to invest in innovation, facilities and talent – we have doubled our workforce over the last two years and are just about to move into new 26,000 sq ft offices.
This has put us in a strong position to be able to translate our clients’ unique challenges into bespoke solutions that help them get more for less – and help us do our bit for the nation’s economic recovery. | 2019-04-22T20:37:30 | https://www.novacroft.com/news/novacroft-in-the-news-as-report-names-northampton-the-7th-most-dynamic-city/ |
Clover is a weed that can take over your yard with small flowers and petal shaped leaves. While clover can be grown purposefully, in a deer food plot for example, many people consider clover a nuisance, and any unwanted plant is considered a weed. White clover, sometimes called Dutch clover, is very common especially in cool season grasses.
It's a perennial broadleaf weed and is often found in lawns, fields, ditches, and other low-maintenance areas.
Each stem has three small leaves (or leaflets) that are petal shaped and have a white "v" or crescent on each leaf, and are about a half inch long.
White clover will usually bloom between early spring and late fall. The flowers are very small and are white or light pink. The small blooms form a spherical cluster that looks like a small ball of white petals.
Clover is a low growing plant and the stems creep along the top surface, although the stems that branch off can reach up to a foot tall.
They have a shallow root system and don't tolerate drought conditions well.

Some prefer less heavy creams on the face, but separate face and body moisturisers aren’t necessary.
What do you look for in a body moisturiser? Is it the smell, how smooth it leaves your skin feeling, or how much it costs? If you are attracted by terms such as “dermatologist recommended” or “hypoallergenic”, you may be disappointed. A study of the top 100 best-selling whole body moisturisers found that not only did prices vary by 9,400% but that 95% of the products claiming to be dermatologist-recommended had at least one ingredient that could cause an allergy. Of the hypoallergenic moisturisers, 83% contained a substance on the allergen list of the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG). The most common potential allergy-causing ingredients were fragrance mix and paraben mix (a preservative).
Winter tends to make skin dry and can exacerbate existing skin conditions. The dermatologists who carried out the study were interested in comparing moisturisers they would recommend to consumers and ones that people are actually buying. Between 5% and 45% of people (surveys vary) say they have sensitive skin that, when they use creams, can become red and irritated. What dermatologists suggest is that they use moisturisers free of additives, fragrances and perfume. Unfortunately, out of those moisturisers claiming to be fragrance-free, around 45% had at least one ingredient that was a fragrance cross-reactor and could irritate the skin. One moisturiser labelled “natural” had the highest number of potentially allergenic ingredients from the NACDG list.
Moisturisers work by hydrating the skin and maintaining the epidermal barrier (the outermost layer of the skin) – this both heals and protects the skin from being fragile and easily broken. And the type of moisturiser you buy can make a difference – especially to your wallet. The authors of the research paper say that the terms “dermatologically recommended” and “hypoallergenic” are “marketing tools with minimal to no regulatory oversight or substantiation”. They increase the price of moisturisers, but there is no evidence they improve their effectiveness.
They point out that many of the most affordable moisturisers, such as coconut oil or pure shea butter, have no allergens. While lotions are the most popular moisturisers, dermatologists recommend we use ointments if our skin is really dry. Lotions contain water, so they evaporate quickly on the skin and then don’t do anything useful. However, people tend not to like ointments because they feel greasy.
Dr Steve Xu, the lead researcher and dermatologist at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine, recommends that most people who have easily irritated skin pick “bland” moisturisers without a fragrance and with few ingredients. He says that you don’t need separate face and body moisturisers, but recognises that people buy both because they prefer less heavy creams on the face. In fact, the moisturiser most widely recommended by dermatologists is petroleum jelly – it is greasy, but is great at protecting skin. | 2019-04-21T20:40:28 | https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/oct/30/body-lotion-skin-moisturiser-fragrance-hypoallergenic |

UAlberta scientist part of international effort to uncover floral, ancient Arctic diet of the woolly mammoth.
U of A earth scientist Duane Froese reveals that herbaceous flowering plants called forbs were a staple in the diet of grazing megafauna, which includes woolly mammoths.
(Edmonton) The Ice Age home of the woolly mammoth was carpeted in a sea of flowers that nourished the mega-beasts tens of thousands of years ago, according to new University of Alberta research.
In a new paper published in Nature, U of A earth scientist Duane Froese reveals that herbaceous flowering plants called forbs—and not just grass—were a staple in the diet of grazing “megafauna,” which includes mammoths, horses, bison, camels and lions. The plants dominated a region of the Arctic called Beringia, an ice-free area extending from central Yukon and Alaska and across the Bering land bridge into Siberia.
“The data we collected paints a much richer picture of the diversity of fauna living in this environment,” said Froese, a co-author of the study from the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
The University of Copenhagen’s Eske Willerslev led an international team of scientists who studied both ancient plant DNA trapped in the permafrost and the stomach contents of frozen, mummified mammoth carcasses to look at vegetation changes dating back 50,000. They found forbs dominated plant fauna until around 10,000 years ago—the time at which many megafauna became extinct—before giving way to woody plants as the Arctic warmed at the end of the Pleistocene.
Froese said the results show large animals like the mammoth were eating a more diverse diet than previously thought, with forbs serving as a staple. Until now, scientists believed grasses were the main food source for these mammals, largely because these plants produce so much pollen which has been so well preserved in the geologic record, he said.
These latest results paint a clearer picture about life on the “Mammoth Steppe,” Froese added, but there’s still more scientific detective work to be done. | 2019-04-22T14:24:36 | https://www.folio.ca/study-shows-flowers-powered-the-woolly-mammoth/ |

Important: The information in this document is deprecated in Xcode 9. For Xcode 9 and later, see Simulator Help by choosing Help > Simulator Help in Simulator.
Simulator app, available within Xcode, presents the iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch user interface in a window on your Mac computer. You interact with Simulator by using the keyboard and the mouse to emulate taps, device rotation, and other user actions.
The chapter presents the basics of using Simulator. You can perform these steps using your own iOS app or, if you do not have an app to use, with the HelloWorld sample code. For more detailed information on interacting with Simulator and using it to test and debug your apps, refer to the later chapters in this guide.
There are two different ways to access Simulator through Xcode. The first way is to run your app in Simulator, and the second way is to launch Simulator without running an app.
When testing an app in Simulator, it is easiest to launch and run your app in Simulator directly from your Xcode project. To run your app in Simulator, choose an iOS simulator—for example, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, or iPhone 6 + Apple Watch - 38mm—from the Xcode scheme pop-up menu, and click Run. Xcode builds your project and then launches the most recent version of your app running in Simulator on your Mac screen, as shown in Figure 1-1.
Note: If you are testing an app with a deployment target of iPad, you can test only on a simulated iPad. If you are testing an app with a deployment target of iPhone or universal, you can test on either a simulated iPhone or a simulated iPad.
To run your WatckKit app, choose a combination of an iOS device and watchOS device from the Xcode scheme pop-up menu. For example, to run the watch app in a 38mm watch paired with an iPhone 6, choose "iPhone 6 + Apple Watch - 38mm" from the scheme pop-up menu.
Running the WatchKit target launches two simulators, one for the iOS device and one for the watchOS device. Figure 1-2 shows an iPhone 6 and a 42mm watch running in two different simulators.
To run your tvOS App, choose a tvOS device from the Xcode scheme pop-up menu. Running the tvOS target launches the most recent version of your app in a simulated new Apple TV device, as shown in Figure 1-3.
At times, you may want to launch Simulator without running an app. This approach is helpful if you want to test how your app launches from the Home screen of a device or if you want to test a web app in Safari on a simulated iOS device.
Choose Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Simulator.
Control-click the Xcode icon in the Dock, and from the shortcut menu, choose Open Developer Tool > Simulator.
Choose Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Simulator (watchOS).
Control-click the Xcode icon in the Dock, and from the shortcut menu, choose Open Developer Tool > Simulator (watchOS).
Simulator opens and displays the Home screen of whichever simulated device was last used.
Use the installed apps to test your app’s interaction with them. For example, if you are testing a game, you can use Simulator to ensure that the game is using Game Center correctly.
Much like the Home screen on an iOS device, the simulator’s iOS Home screen has multiple pages. After clicking the Home button (or accessing the Home screen through the Hardware menu), you arrive at the second page of the Home screen. To get to the first page, where all of the preinstalled apps are found, swipe to the first Home screen by dragging to the right on the simulator screen.
On the Home screen, you see that all of the apps that have been preloaded into Simulator. See iOS Device Home Screen.
The apps that you see on the Home screen are specific to the iOS device simulation environment. Because Passbook and the Health app are available only for the iPhone, these apps don’t appear if you are simulating a legacy device or an unsupported device type.
The Home screen for a simulated watchOS device behaves the same as it would on an actual device. You can click and drag to simulate the finger dragging around the screen and launch an app by clicking on it. Figure 1-4 shows the home screen of a 42mm watch with a developer app, the Lister sample code.
From the Home screen, you can access Safari within Simulator. Use Safari to test your iOS web apps directly on your Mac.
From the Home screen, click Safari.
In the address field in Safari, type the URL of your web app and press the Return key.
If your Mac is connected to the Internet, it displays the mobile version of the URL you specified. For example, type apple.com into the address field and press Return. Safari displays the Apple website. See Figure 1-6.
Simulator provides tools to assist you in debugging your apps. One of the many features you can debug in Simulator is location awareness within your app. Set a location by choosing Debug > Location > location of choice. The menu has items to simulate a static location or following a route.
A simulated watchOS device with the location set to None checks the paired iPhone device for the location.
You can specify your own location, which can be seen in the Maps app.
From the Home screen, click Maps.
Choose Debug > Location > Custom Location.
In the window that appears, type the number 40.75 in the latitude field and the number -73.75 in the longitude field.
Click the Current Location button in the bottom-left corner of the simulated device screen.
After completing this task, notice that the blue dot representing your location is in New York, NY, near the Long Island Expressway, as shown in Figure 1-7.
Simulator provides the ability to simulate many different combinations of device type and OS version. A device type is a model of iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Some iPhone devices can also have a paired Apple Watch. Each device-OS combination has its own simulation environment with its own settings and apps. Simulator provides simulators for common device-iOS, device-watchOS-iOS device, and device-tvOS combinations. You can also add simulators for a specific combination you want to test. However, not all device type and OS version combinations are available.
Note: To test apps for the iPad mini, use a simulated iPad with the same pixel resolution as the iPad mini.
You can switch between different device-OS combinations. Switching closes the window for the existing device and then opens a new window with the selected device. The existing device goes through a normal OS shutdown sequence, though the timeout might be longer than the one on a real device. The new device goes through a normal OS startup sequence.
Choose a Hardware > Device > device of choice.
Simulator closes the active device window and opens a new window with the selected device.
If the device type and OS version combination you want to use is not in the Device submenu, create a simulator for it.
Choose Hardware > Device > Manage Devices.
Xcode opens the Devices window.
At the bottom of the left column, click the Add button (+).
In the dialog that appears, enter a name in the Simulator Name text field and choose the device from the Device Type pop-up menu.
Choose the OS version from the iOS Version pop-up menu.
Alternatively, if the iOS version you want to use isn’t in the iOS Version pop-up menu, choose “Download more simulators” and follow the steps to download a simulator.
If the OS version you want to use is not installed, download it and follow the steps to add a simulator again.
In the Preferences window, click Downloads.
In Components, find the legacy simulator version you want to add, and click the Install button.
You can also delete and rename simulators in the Devices window.
In Simulator, choose Hardware > Device > Manage Devices, or in Xcode, choose Window > Devices.
In the left column, select the simulator.
At the bottom of the left column, click the Action button (the gear next to the Add button).
Choose Delete from the Action menu.
To rename a simulator, choose Rename from the Action menu and enter a new name.
For how to manage real devices that appear in the Devices window, read Devices Window Help.
You can alter the settings within Simulator to help test your app.
On a simulated device, use the Settings app. To open the Settings app, go to the Home screen and click or on tvOS, choose Settings. In Figure 1-8 you see the Settings app as it appears when launched in the iOS simulation environment.
The Simulator settings differ from the settings found on a hardware device. Simulator is designed for testing your apps, whereas a hardware device is designed for use. Because Simulator is designed for testing apps, its settings are naturally focused on testing, too. For example, in a simulated iOS device the Accessibility menu provides the ability to turn on the Accessibility Inspector, and the Accessibility menu on a device allows you to turn on and off different accessibility features.
Through the settings, you can test both accessibility and localization of your app. See Testing and Debugging in iOS Simulator for information on how to manipulate your settings for the various types of testing you are interested in.
Remember: Changes made in the Settings app of simulated device affect only the simulation environment that is currently running.
You can use Simulator to manipulate the simulated device much as you do a physical device.
To rotate your simulated device, choose Hardware > Rotate Left. When you rotate your simulated device, Settings rotates (see Figure 1-9), just as it would on a hardware device.
Simulator is designed to assist you in designing, rapidly prototyping, and testing your app, but it should never serve as your sole platform for testing. One reason is that not all apps are available in the simulator. For example, the Camera app is available only on hardware devices and cannot be replicated in the simulator.
In addition, not all bugs and performance problems can be caught through testing in Simulator alone. You’ll learn more about performance differences in Testing and Debugging in iOS Simulator. You can also find more information on testing your app on a device in Launching Your App on Devices in App Distribution Guide.
Simulator continues running until you quit it. Quitting Xcode will not close Simulator because they are separate applications. Similarly quitting simulator will not close Xcode.
To quit Simulator, choose Simulator > Quit Simulator. The device is shut down, terminating any running apps.
Note: Both Simulator and watchOS Simulator can be open at the same time. | 2019-04-24T18:30:20 | https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/iOS_Simulator_Guide/GettingStartedwithiOSSimulator/GettingStartedwithiOSSimulator.html |

His performances in South Africa led to suggestions other clubs might try to hijack the deal but Wigan were always confident of landing the 27-year-old.
Manager Roberto Martinez said: “It’s fantastic news that we can finally confirm the arrival of a defender who I feel was one of the very best at this summer’s World Cup.
Martinez was one of a three-strong Wigan delegation stating the case for signing the player at a Wembley hearing today.
“I am so happy that everything has gone through now,” said the World Cup quarter-finalist.
“I want to thank Roberto and the club for all the hard work to get me to Wigan and now I just want to play football. | 2019-04-24T02:15:44 | https://metro.co.uk/2010/07/22/antolin-alcaraz-transfer-a-massive-boost-for-wigan-456109/ |
I didn’t want our love to be political. It wasn’t radical or revolutionary—it was just ours. I refused to write our relationship as an allegory for oppression, for colonization. But we didn’t exist in a vacuum. We were not magically in love, off in a fantasy world. Rather, we were the perfect allegory for the colonizer and the colonized. Eventually, I wrote a poem called “White Man’s Love,” a nod to Rudyard Kipling’s “White Man’s Burden” (which was actually about the United States and the Philippines), in which I wrote, tongue-in-cheek, I just happened to be brown, and he just happened to be white. | 2019-04-25T16:26:00 | http://www.formationofafilipinxamerican.com/author/guest/page/6/ |

Most people prepare fruit or vegetables juicing recipes and smoothies to satisfy their thirst. Some people, especially children, do not like to eat fruits and vegetables, so juicing provides a better way to include vegetables and fruit in our daily diet.
Nowadays, people follow a Smoothie Diet because it shows significant effectiveness and easiness compared to other types of diets. Many raw fruits and vegetables such as apple, pineapple, carrot, celery, cabbage, tomato and kale are used for juicing. The mixture of fruit and vegetables juices is an excellent supplier of various nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals.
When comparing juices and smoothies with solid foods, juices can be absorbed easily into our digestive system. Also, juices help to clear the body from toxins and help flush the system off various pollutants. Juices are good for the liver because they help to repair and revitalize the liver. A smoothie diet is a must for any person who wants to maintain a healthy weight and detoxify.
Dieting with juices is not as hard as water fasting. Juicing recipes can be used as a detox diet without any solid food. Hence, it is used for short time period of one to three days every month. For pregnant women or people with chronicle ailment, it is necessary to seek medical advice before starting such a diet. When juice fasting is followed in moderation and when you start to enjoy vegetables and fruit juices and realize the health, you might adopt juicing into your everyday diet.
Headache, lack of energy and discomfort are some side effects you may feel during the first day of your juice fasting. The benefits outweigh the side effects. A smoothie diet is a wonderful method that can be used to repair your body and clear destructive toxins that accumulate in the system.
Rotate the combinations of fruit and vegetables to in the juicer recipes to maintain your interest in the diet without and to reap the benefits of different nutrients from different ingredients.
Use only fresh vegetables and fruits that do not have extra sugaring or artificial additives.
Juice only when you are ready to drink. Do not juice in advance for the whole day. Drink fresh juice always to take maximum benefits. If you have to go out, make sure to bring juice in a glass bottle or container with a proper top seal.
Do not drink all the juice at once. Drink 32 to 64 ounces juice throughout the day.
Spice up your juices with ginger, mint and other types of herbs. Limes and lemons can improve the vegetables juice flavors.
Use citrus fruit such as orange, grapefruit and lemon sparingly as they might upset the stomach.
Liquid diet will not give instant results. Sometimes, it takes longer time to shed stubborn fat, such as belly fat. Couple your weight loss effort with some physical activities such as walking, swimming or Yoga. Be patient for long lasting results.
Before starting the juicing diet, prepare your body to detoxify by reducing your sugar, nicotine, and alcohol intake. Eliminate all animal products.
There is no magic trick to losing belly fat. It is simply a matter of setting the goal, learning how, and committing to follow through. The side benefits are remarkable: better self-image, more energy, and a healthier, longer life.

I am all for healthy eating and healthy living. I like to share tips about home remedy in this blog!
I was wondering on a similar note,, One common problem which parents face all through the world is nutrition consumption by kids. It has been seen that kids run away from fruits and vegetables and it becomes next to impossible to offer them proper nutrition. Even after constant efforts of preparing healthy food, parents cannot make them eat the fruits and as a result, even they discontinue preparing high nutrition food. If the same thing is happening with you then you should try out some innovation with your cooking. Children always give significance to taste and appearance of the food. | 2019-04-23T00:45:19 | https://www.homeremedy101.net/juicing-recipes-must-try/ |

Peep Show is an 8’ wide x 6’ tall x 3’ deep wooden box - the red-lit word "PEEP" on the top – with seven paper disc View-Masters™ fixed across the box face and illuminated from within. Each disc has 7 stereoscopic images in rotation and the images will be creations of 7 selected artists.
Amongst the sea of light-eruption and fanfare at BTL, Peep Show will offer a more introspective, inner light. Imagine the small curiosity shadowed from the larger spectacle. This assemblage represents a tempting pull in to a more intimately lit narrative. From an interactive standpoint, the viewer is simultaneously viewed, becoming part of the public landscape.
The View-Master™ naturally affords a dreamlike experience for the viewer, while allowing the artists various uses for the switch from image to image - be it story, free form surrealism, or abstract. With their backs to the festival, the viewers will share in group privacy within the overall light show.
The chosen works, in turn, will take advantage of the situation. Advantages that exploit the prone viewing, the seven image structure, the depth of 3-D, and the low-fi dreamscape of the slideshow faux-diorama. | 2019-04-22T16:00:43 | http://www.uglyartroom.com/peep-show |
EU and MOROCCO - The European Parliament should agree to extend the controversial EU-Morocco fisheries agreement, said the Fisheries Committee in an eagerly awaited vote on Tuesday.
If approved by the whole House, the new protocol would provide fishing opportunities for 119 EU vessels and allocate special funds to support sustainable fisheries in Morocco until the end of February 2012.
MEPs voted on Tuesday against the original report drafted by Carl Haglund (ALDE, FI) which called on Parliament not to extend the current arrangements, mainly for economic, ecological and legal reasons, and instead came out by 12 votes to eight, with one abstention, in favour of extending the contested protocol.
Mr Haglund had argued that the one-year extension of the current protocol was unacceptable under the terms proposed by the European Commission owing to its low cost-benefit ratio for the EU, the excessive exploitation of demersal stocks and the very limited contribution of EU funds to the development of local fisheries policy.
He said after the vote: "There are many in this committee who feel that the agreement is not satisfactory and we will continue to work on this. There is still a plenary vote ahead of us".
The new protocol allocates fishing opportunities to 119 vessels for small-scale, demersal and tuna fishing. EU trawlers will also be able to exploit up to 60 000 additional tonnes of sardines, mackerel, horse mackerel and anchovy species for industrial pelagic fishing.
Around 22.6 million EUR will be allocated for access to Moroccan waters. To promote responsible fishing, the EU will provide additional funding of 13.5 million EUR. The money will support the development of local fisheries policy, introducing guidelines on how to meet sustainable fishing targets agreed by both the Kingdom of Morocco and the EU.
Last September, an attempt to clarify the legality of the new protocol failed when a request by 77 MEPs to refer it to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) was voted down in the House. The bid's backers had wanted the ECJ to rule on whether the inclusion of the Western Sahara in the protocol reflected the wishes of the local population and whether it took their interests into account, as required by the EU treaties and international law.
The new protocol has been applied provisionally since 28 February 2011. If approved by Parliament, it will remain in force until 27 February 2012. The vote in plenary is scheduled for the next Strasbourg session (12 - 15 December 2011). | 2019-04-20T09:12:34 | https://thefishsite.com/articles/green-light-for-eumorocco-agreement-extension |
In late 2013 the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve issued updated guidance on third-party/vendor risk management. In response to increased regulatory pressure on its members to implement effective programs in this area, RMA established a new Vendor Management Round Table.
This collaboration resulted in a sectorwide survey of the state of third-party/vendor risk management. The goal was to establish a 2014 baseline of current practices from which financial institutions can measure progress over time.

Aliyah brings Jews from around the world to Israel. But The Fellowship’s commitment to new immigrants does not end when they arrive at Ben-Gurion airport in Tel Aviv—in some ways, it really begins there.
The Fellowship recognizes the critical need to provide for the klitah, or resettlement, of Jews brought to Israel through On Wings of Eagles. Many olim (immigrants) arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs. They must learn a new language and adapt to a new culture. They need both immediate help—food, clothing, housing, medical care—and long-term assistance such as job training and placement, Hebrew language instruction and schools for their children.
On Wings of Eagles helps new immigrants become full, productive members of Israeli society by providing all these needs. By doing so, it helps immigrants help themselves—and ensures the future of the Jewish state for generations to come. | 2019-04-23T18:30:50 | https://www.ifcj.ca/site/SPageNavigator/ca/work/WOE/klitah?NONCE_TOKEN=7C60E3D15734FEF78A379B2DE42F7DD7&NONCE_TOKEN=1BAAFA24770DF12F41CD446CA25CD9B7 |

On my way back home from Bloomington-Normal, I hopped a rental and drove up rt. 55 to O’hare to pick up my flight. Better than the fly over, it’s been years since I drove through anything so flat. Most dramatic were the slight bends in the road when the huge expanse of prairie open up before you before you complete the turn. I like the human construction on the plain. In the first cold days of spring the landscape is exceptional and stark.

Where should you catch an Exception?
It was April 2016. I received a call from my partner, Ankit. He had an idea for creating a Shopify app which will allow customers to group multiple products together and sell them as a kit.
On the surface, it looked pretty simple. So I and my friend Pradeep started working on it. Little did we know that we are embarking on a journey which will demand an exceptional level of creativity and problem-solving skills on our part. Our problems were compounded by the fact that we had to use PHP.
In this post, I will try to sum up the approaches and techniques which we used to scale this app by processing 100 webhooks per minute to 100,000 webhooks per minute.
Product Kits is a Shopify app which is really simple in terms of functionality - It helps stores selling a combo of two or more products. Idea is, you create a bundle, you sell it, we set the inventory of children when a bundle is sold and calculate the inventory of bundle when a child is sold. For example, a Shaving Kit is a bundle and you linked two razors and a foam. If you have 200 razors and 50 foams, we will set Shaving Kit to have 50 inventory. If Shaving kit is sold, we will set razors to 198 and foam to 49 and vice-versa Got it?
We started with a “multiple-database” approach that means each Store will be provided with a separate database, we were burnt before for having bigger tables - we wanted to avoid Sharding. While one database would hold information of Shop and its database. So a single query to determine is always required which we didn’t cache (we never had to). We configured sysctl carefully.
For the sake of avoiding confusion, I will be using “Webhook” when I am talking about traffic either from Shopify or Store.
At the time of installation, we do a product sync, the biggest store we had, had over 1 million products. If a store has 100,000 products, and Shopify imposes a limit that it would give the maximum of 250 products in one hit. Thus we would sync the products by hitting Shopify 400 times. Keeping this data in memory requires more RAM or we can reduce the count to 50 and increase the request to 2000. This amount of data also requires more than 2 seconds to get and a second to save as it requires some “preprocessing” of data. We were growing by 3 installations per day but getting 6 to 8. Every installation was contributing to a sync which would cause 10K QPS (Query Per Second) and takes on our CPU and RAM. Inventory got mismatched for the first time. Our client yelled at us and uninstalled our app. We separated sync queue into a different server. After running four workers in a single server, we got our first support complaining that sync is taking time (Still!). We launched another server with the same configuration. We can now handle 8 installations simultaneously. It didn’t help in sticking of customers. The same ticket came when the 9th installation was waiting for its sync. Now it would be madness to have another server right?
We split one big sync into sub-syncs. Right now workers table was containing store and status now we had store, status, page, action.
Now, these workers can pick top rows of each store and hence, no one would complain. As one big store was blocking sync of other stores (Why FIFO is a pain - later). This was resolved! We never faced the same problem again. In our best (or worst) day, we had over 20 installations taking the total of 6 hours at most but every Store had few bundles to start within a matter of mins. Later, we used the frontend Shopify API to eliminate the need for Sync but unpublished products were not available thus, we kept two options. We could have moved to GraphQL (latest launch in Beta at the time of writing this post) but we didn’t - more on this on next post.
First downtime and few more in one day - the Fallout!
Remember the Webhooks? Linode restarted our server for some reasons - Emergency Maintenance blah blah blah. It took 2 mins to reboot and then we had 70K webhooks coming from Shopify in just a matter of minutes if not seconds. Then we realized that if Webhooks don’t get 200 status code - Shopify resends it but only quicker! We were not ready for such a huge traffic. Server chocked and PHP-FPM crashed for the very first time. We thought the server isn’t starting but it happened again. We spun two more servers after found it in logs. This is something Amazon Kinesis would have resolved for us - but we are limited. Now we had three servers dedicated to Webhook finally survived the ‘fallout’ of downtime. In front, we had Nginx load-balancer. At very worst day, the same server handled a peak traffic of 4000 hits per seconds with no problems. However, we did set up open-files settings and tcp_mem size.
Imagine our excitement when mere changing few variables led to 30K QPS? However, it is worth mentioning that we hired multiple service providers but a company that actually came up with a proper fix was MyDBops. They spent significant time explaining what they did and why they did. They traveled an extra mile by explaining each parameter to us- later after expanding servers further, we were comfortable ourselves enough to make a change.
At the moment, we had each worker taking data as FIFO (First in First out), the problem with this approach was, if you have one store sending you 10K webhooks over the span of two mins (consider a bulk product import or update apps - our sworn enemies), along with the combination of Shopify rate limit of 2QPS with 40 of leaky bucket, we are done! So we coded a custom Algo, we called it Thor. Thor will see the distribution of webhooks, collect more but at most 20, for more active stores and less but at least 5 for less active stores. It can be configured to work for created at, distribution spread over (like Head, Middle, Top and Tail) If at any point, we are stuck by reaching Shopify limit, we will set the “wait” flag with time and move to the next Shop, we will re-visit the Store there after 20 seconds as a leaky bucket will be empty.
In Elixir, we might have different processes for each store. Meanwhile, we created a naked webhook removal query, this would remove those webhooks, for which no bundle exists. It worked with products but for orders, it was too tricky and needed a procedure which would run after every 2 mins. This one was for “emergencies” when we have a million webhooks pending. It would delay it and it did in the coming months.
We hired two devs to rewrite our PHP webhooks handling codes into Node, both of them failed. First dev gave up as he couldn’t solve leaky connection problem, second dev gave up on the first dev’s code and re-wrote his own, he got trapped in an infinite loop and many more bugs. After a year-long round-trip we decided to stick to PHP.
Meltdown - Migration - Importance of CRON!
After 10 hours, we had 7.5M webhooks pending with first support - inventory isn’t working. We checked and page for stats, it didn’t load, but count query was working fine and we had a bit over 7.5M webhooks. It was 13:00 IST when we started the migration, at 00:25 IST, we three people were on Skype! While my partner was doing Maths to calculate Webhooks per second from 1.5K stores for possible “attack”, we were creating three “new” webhook tables for the future. All future webhooks will go there from three servers handling webhooks currently. MySQL table size matters a lot, especially when you are grouping the results. We then created 7 views, dividing each with a one million row and rest on the last one. We spun three more workers for new tables. And each server workers will handle one million rows. Next day (after 12 hours) we checked and had 2M webhooks on only new tables. We knew that most of them are cold webhooks and it will go away.
The difficult decision of firing a customer!
We found that one Store that was blasting our server with over 1M webhooks per day. We uninstalled our app from this store and explained the problem we were facing. One sad customer made the rest of our customers very happy.
So not all the scalability problems are resolved by servers or configuration. Some scalability problems are also solved by saying NO.
Dropping this customer without one-star review was a win for us but it did make us sad.

Spent our first night eating here after walking round and getting lost in the streets of Mykonos for about 5 hours (only joking) and can honestly say that with all of the great food we ate over the week that this place was amazing with great staff and really good food (Calamari.Hummus and Tzaziki starters were to die for) and yes we did have three with a main each after.
As you do on holiday we tried different places to eat on a nightly basis as to what takes your fancy and my only regret was not to of gone back for a second meal,even though we did go back on most nights for one of their lovely coffee’s served by their great staff..
a great place to eat and a great excuse to go back and have that second meal!!!

The results of the municipal elections in Turkey (March 31, 2019) show that politics sometimes takes in what the politician thinks it gives, and may hit him from his safe haven, and lose in terms of his expected victory. The Turkish President Rajab Tayeb Erdogan has misunderstood the electoral and political situation inside Turkey, and he exaggerated in assessing his power, and was in hurry to announce victory even before the elections are held. He confirmed in what is can not be decided, the ballot box and the Syrian crisis as both are the political and electoral polemics inside Turkey.
Erdogan’s talk of a “solution” in Syria was not only a kind of electoral promise to win the votes of Islamists and conservative nationalists, but rather a kind of early or pre-announcement of winning the election as well. As it is well known, he treated the Syrian crisis from the start as a Turkish “internal affair”, and it was one of the reasons for his victory in electoral and constitutional entitlements.
Erdogan referred in his statements to two main things: the first, in terms of time, that is: “post-election,” as if the elections a boundary between what was before and what will come after. The second thing is the “solution” in Syria. Observers should not expect too much to be clarified but in terms of the elections in which Erdogan’s party has lost its economic and administrative capitals: Istanbul and Ankara.
The first is the Kurds. The talk about them came in the context of threats and intimidation. Erdogan said: “Did not we teach them a lesson in the terrorist corridor, north of Syria, in Afrin? Yes, we did, and now, if the situation is not set by the United States in the east of the Euphrates, we will teach them the lesson and we have completed all our preparations.” (30 March).
The second is to refer to his next meeting with President Putin in Moscow on April 8. The two presidents are expected to “prove” what the two sides agreed at the seventh meeting of their joint strategic planning group, and their foreign ministers, Sergei Lavrov and Mouloud Javishoglu at their joint press conference on March 29, in particular the implementation of the Sochi Agreement on Idlib and the Constitutional Commission, and the continuation of dialogue and deliberation between the two sides on the Kurds and East Euphrates.
Erdogan believed he has many papers in the Syrian war. He has received a Russian appreciation that he is committed to the Sochi agreement with Putin in September; he sends patrols in Idlib and its environs, and then at Tal Rifat, 35 kilometers north of Aleppo.
Also, the Russians allowed the Turkish jets to fly over some areas of northern Syria, and Erdogan obtained the exclusive right to represent the Syrian opposition regarding the constitutional committee. He also got the Russian (and somewhat Iranian) understanding of his concerns about the Kurdish administration in eastern Euphrates. Furthemore, the United States continued to express its appreciation and understanding to his concerns and security interests in the east of the Euphrates. That was enough from Erdogan’s perspective to conclude that after the elections he would “inevitably solve” the Syrian file.
Erdogan believed that achieving some gains in the Syrian crisis could be a substitute for solving the chronic and simultaneous problems inside Turkey, and in sectors that can not be postponed: economic crises, deteriorating living conditions, increasing social tensions, escalating security pressures, suppressing dissidents, Media, etc. But things were different, changes in the voters’ mood and politics in Turkey were changing, or his ability to control the voters reactors seemed less, as the election results showed. Those results must have been heavy on Erdogan and he will be hurry up to fix it before things get worse for him.
Based on the experience of the past years, Erdogan is expected to act as if he won the election: he will be more hostile to the opposition and will depend on the “deep state” or the “parallel government” he has managed to establish during his long years of rule.
Turkey’s attitude towards the Syrian crisis will not change significantly, at least in the near future, but Erdogan will show a relatively greater commitment to the Astana process, which it gathers him together with Iranian President Hassan Rowhani and Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as for the Sochi agreement Between him and Putin about Idlib, while he will keep his bet on Washington, as a force of balance, and hope for his healing!.

This is a 120 gallon tank with 10 inches of fine aragonite over a plenum.
Approximately 75 gallons/day is drained from the plenum and returned to the bulk water via TOM drip pump. The tank is illuminated 24 hours/day with 52 5 watt LEDs, and there is very little water flow. Topoff is with tap water and Kent’s Iron and Manganese supplement, and fed 5-10 ml of a yeast based invertebrate food on occasion (q 3-7 days). Approx. 10 ml/week of silica “water glass” has been added. There is a heavy growth of microalgae and microalgae in the tank, being grazed down by Trochus snails. The purpose of this unusual setup is to attempt to generate a continuous plankton generation, as I have not been satisfied with the quantity of plankton generated by other refugium designs. There is excellent growth of plankton in this tank, and nitrates and phosphates are undetectable. The growth of plankton is especially heavy in floating mats present on the surface, and water drained from the surface (such as would occur in an overflow) is highly populated with plankton.
The problem I am having has to do with calcium and alkalinity. I would have thought that slow diffusion through a deep sand bed would DISSOLVE aragonite due to generation of carbon dioxide. At this time the exiting pH from the plenum (that is, the pore pH) is 8.4, and calcium is 300 and alkalinity is 5 kH even though I have been “pouring in” the baking soda and some calcium chloride supplementation (and sometimes vinegar). In fact, these values seem to have been better since I stopped adding them, although not sure of this. Puzzling, yes?
This paper discusses pH of anoxic pore water in marine sediments http://www4.ee.bgu.ac.il/~pel/pdf-files/jour24.pdf The conclusion section states that pore pH in marine anoxic segments is controlled by 1) weak acids and bases which are the products of decomposition, 2) sulfate to sulfide reaction, 3) precipitation of metal sulfides, 4) precipitation of calcium carbonate. The first two drive the pH toward 7.0, the second two toward 8.4.
So, here’s my question: will this system continue to precipitate calcium carbonate in the sand bed, or will it reach some equilibrium? (It hasn’t after three months...). And- if no equilibrium will be reached, is there a way to fix this kind of system so it will perhaps liberate some ca/alk, such as switching to a quartz sand base, or adding elemental sulfur like a sulfur reactor and spare the sulfate utilization?
I appreciate any help here. I have great hopes for this type of simple natural system both for plankton generation and for filtration.
The mystery remains: what “interstitial dynamics”? Would they occur in a quartz sand bed? Why do they not occur in a sulfur reactor? Does this pore water precipitation reach some steady state if some form of calcium and alkalinity is added to the bulk water? Overall, is there a slow sand filter I can construct that is not a sink to calcium and alkalinity, or perhaps a slight source such as adding sulfur?
Hopefully you are not getting too much metal sulfide. Is the sand turning black?
What is the tank calcium and pH level? No amount of single pass calcium carbonate precipitation in the sand could drop calcium from 420 to 300 ppm, since there is not enough carbonate available for that. That would consume 17 dKH. But over time it may have accomplished that if you keep adding alkalinity supplements and not enough calcium.
Certainly, the conversion of nitrate to N2 in the sand bed will result in a boost to pH. That may be why you observe the pH so high there. Adding vinegar may increase that reaction. Normally, pH in the sand is low due to degradation of organics in the upper, more oxygenated regions. My sand pH was lower than the water column pH in an aragonite sand bed.
"Because of interstitial sediment dynamics, calcite saturation is 20-30x that of seawater and the result is that calcium carbonate actually precipitates in the sediments."
But I do not see any rationale or data supporting it. It may be true, but I cannot see how based on the numbers he gives. That would require, for example, either the calcium level to increase by 20x (hardly likely), alkalinity to increase by 20x (hardly likely), or the pH to rise by more than a full pH unit (above pH 9). Neither he nor you seem to suggest any of these are true, so I cannot see how the supersaturation increases at all, and certainly not 30x.
Perhaps what he meant so say is that it "could" increase that much if there was no precipitation of calcium carbonate. That is somewhat believable if there was a constant boost to pH. And perhaps that is what you are observing.
There are many people who add an awful lot of calcium and alkalinity supplements to reef tanks and really do not know where it is ending up. Some precipitation in the sand bed seems a likely possibility. Hardening sand is one indication that such processes may happen.
No blackness in the sand. Early on there were some black spots under a dead snail and some rice grains; previously there was a precipitation line about two inches down- it’s higher if I turn off the plenum siphon; in the last few weeks this has essentially gone and the sand bed looks pretty uniform.
Tank calcium and pH are now the same as the plenum; which I would expect given the 75 gallons daily that fluxes through.
and maybe get up to alk 6 but it falls back to 4-5 again.
There’s this paper http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v7/n3/full/ngeo2070.html which discusses significant “authigenic” deposition of calcium carbonate in areas where organic deposition is likely high, I guess suggesting that this effect is biogenic.
So if biogenic, the problem with maintaining calcium and alkalinity in this closed system without visible calcifiers is just an effect of the microbial decomposition of the organic inputs, and not an effect of the sand bed?
So can I conclude that I can forget about this sand bed continuing to be a problem for maintaining Ca and Alk (except for a lag phase as the sand bed microbially equilibrates), and then the tank will correct to desirable values with the usual things we do to maintain Ca and Alk?
I couldn't read past the abstract, so I'm not sure how it relates to your system.
How much alkalinity are you adding each day? Just trying to understand the ballpark values.
What do you feed this tank?
Do you think the sand ever becomes low in O2 with that flow rate?
I added about a cup of baking soda over a two weeks or so, alk rose from 3 or 4 up to 6, I quit adding for a few weeks and it’s back to 4 now.
I just checked, both plenum and bulk water alk 4 and calcium 320 and pH 8.4 or 8.5.
I overstated the description of the sand bed, there’s some darker areas beginning about two inches down, not much different from usual sand beds.
Regarding oxygen, there is a precipitation link about 2-3 inches down- it’s more like one inch if I turn the plenum pump off for several hours.
One observation is that there is no resistance of the sand bed to water flow- there is no drop in the level of the pipe plumbed to the plenum compared to the bulk water at this rate of flow- it seems unlikely there is much binding going on.
I’m no longer feeding this tank (one week without food). I have fed vinegar up to 100 ml/day, and also as much as 10 ml of yeast-based food twice daily, and for awhile a fertilizer containing sodium nitrate. I think overall things have stabilized since stopping food in terms of bulk and plenum water equilibrating.
Could high pH from low CO2 in the bulk water be supplying the push for precipitation? In that case, why not on the heater?
Baking soda won't cause precipitation unless it's overdosed or the calcium, alkalinity, or magnesium levels are fairly far out of the recommended zones. I dosed it for years. That measured drop (60 ppm) is fairly large, but given the limited accuracy of our test kits and the time frame, it's possible that the drop was due to consumption by corals or coralline. My tanks would consume close to 20 ppm per day.
Several mechanisms have been identified by which bacteria can induce the calcium carbonate precipitation, including urea hydrolysis, denitrification, sulphate production, and iron reduction. Two different pathways, or autotrophic and heterotrophic pathways, through which calcium carbonate is produced have been identified. There are three autotrophic pathways exist. However, all three pathways result in depletion of carbon dioxide and favouring calcium carbonate precipitation. In heterotrophic pathway, two metabolic cycles can be involved: the nitrogen cycle and the sulfur cycle.
Maybe CO2 is further depleted at the surface by algae predominating over bacteria, and thus the bulk water is more basic...?
But its a 3 month old system. I believe mine was out of whack but I think just that small amount in my tank dropped the Ca from about 500 to 440 or so.
I don't see how that's possible. Baking soda doesn't change the pH very much, and it can't precipitate 60 ppm of calcium unless 8-9 dKH is dosed in one shot, which is not a small amount.
One trouble with the 2-part is that the pH is already 8.4 or a little higher due to the continuous lighting and slow flow. | 2019-04-23T02:23:05 | http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-2418479.html |

It is a store replacement plan owned by Asahi Shimbun.
In rebuilding aging stores, we are trying to revise the functions of the newspaper sales office that has changed with the times, and further to burn the traditional "newspaper dealer image" to the present age.
On the upper floor we are planning a one-room dwelling for employees, but since it is a quiet residential area avoiding the opening on the neighboring side, we made a facade design for the opening of the balcony and others. | 2019-04-20T12:57:41 | https://roundtable.ltd/works/commercial-ASK.php |
Today, the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) has published 15 inspection reports on residential centres for older people.
HIQA independently monitors designated centres for older people for compliance with Health Act (2007) Regulations and the National Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People in Ireland, 2016, to ensure that the health, wellbeing and quality of life of people in these services is promoted and protected.
Five reports refer to 18-outcome inspections, five are 10-outcome inspections, three relate to follow-up inspections carried out and two reports refer to dementia care thematic inspections.
Evidence of good practice and compliance with the regulations and standards was found in eight centres. These eight inspection reports show that residents’ needs were being met in line with the National Standards and regulations.
However, inspections in seven centres found that the residents’ needs were not always being met. Reported non-compliances were in areas such as government and management, safeguarding, social care needs, health and safety and risk management. | 2019-04-22T06:36:56 | http://broadmeadow.ie/older-peoples-publication-statement-6-june-2017-2/ |
Lymphedema can be a debilitating consequence of breast cancer, but a rare surgery gives patients’ hope.
Up to 30% of breast cancer patients can suffer lymphedema … a condition that leads to swelling of the arms and hands after surgery and/or radiation when lymph nodes are removed or affected. The condition can worsen with time. Women can suffer chronic achiness or pain from the swelling and added weight. A rare surgery to transplant or transfer lymph nodes is giving women relief and greatly improving their quality of life. Patient Renee Mauer suffered for six years with lymphedema and felt immediately different upon waking from surgery. Her surgeon, Teresa Buescher (BOO-shur), MD explains how it works. | 2019-04-22T18:13:10 | http://www.medicalnewsnetwork.org/NewsNetwork/WomensHealth/N/Newer%20Innovative%20Transplant%20Surgery |
Fall Exhibition 2007 opens at Gallery 80808 as past of Vista Lights on Thursday, November 15, 2007, 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. The gallery is located within Vista Studios, 808 Lady Street in Columbia’s Congaree Vista. For this night of arts celebration, a stop here is a “must.” View new works by the 13 artists of Vista Studios and tour their open studios. Step in the creative space of each artist and discover a journey underway.
Pat Gilmartin pursues two established directions in her ceramic work in Fall Exhibition. The bas relief disk Hurricane Katrina is carved with symbols of flood waters, broken levees, and refugee trailers. This topical work achieves archaeological weight. In contrast the delightful Chase is a suspended figure striding with elongated limbs. Laura Spong contributes evocative non-objective paintings to the exhibition. Each is an expressionist journey that, the artist hopes, prompts the viewer’s own introspective journey.
The literal and figurative journey factors into one of Don Zurlo’s new canvases. Zurlo translated a stream of consciousness sketch made while on a road trip to a family wedding into Wedge North in Off Beam Mode.
Susan Lenz continues her materials exploration with Strata Series, inspired by cross sections of the earth’s surface. Stitched to water-soluble fabric (which is later rinsed away) each Strata is a lace of horizontal fibers and free-motion embroidery. The surface evokes sedimentary earth, veins of metal, and faceted gemstones.
In the hands of Sharon Licata, stone is but a veil. Licata carves alabaster to daring thinness in Through the Veil to depict the thin veil between worlds. A second sculpture, Getting back on the Totem, is a limestone testament to power regained when a woman restores herself high in her own priorities.
Jeff Donovan adds to Fall Exhibition a new grouping of figures on canvas. Each is both whimsical and serene. Painter Stephen Chesley contributes landscapes. Each canvas is a haunting play of shadowed and luminous forms, an uneasy pause at evening’s last light. Ethel Brody presents the light-hearted “fantasy” Big Rock Candy Mountain and the hard edged Color Wheel Series. The five paintings of the series are a fresh exploration of color fundamentals.
The circus continues in the playful and deftly scribed paintings of David Yaghjian. His familiar old man in briefs heroically lifts a bull and launches from a high dive. Pat Callahan questions the forces at play in her juggling of competing passions and responsibilities in new shadow boxes titled scattershot, trying to hold center, and spin again. New mixed media works by Heidi Darr Hope, landscape and seascape paintings by Michel McNinch, and figurative works by Robert Kennedy complete the exhibition.
Fall Exhibition 2007 continues through November 27. Vista Studios will be open on Thursday, November 15 from 11 AM through the evening’s festivities; Friday, November 16 from 11 AM until 6 PM; Saturday, November 17 from 11 AM until 6 PM; and on Sunday, November 18 from 1 PM until 6 PM. Most weekdays, the gallery is open from 11 AM until 3 PM and again in the early evening…but call first to be sure!

Ed tech leader Jackie Patanio & I building Emoticons.
Imagine that when students come back to school, rather than telling them to take out a book, read chapters 1 & 2 and answer the questions at the end of each chapter, instead you invited them to play and make stuff. And, what if this stuff was all standards aligned and paired with the assessments that make some administrators happy?
If you're an innovative educator like @JPatanio or I, this type of learning by doing is right up your alley. We were invited to Lego Education's VIP event where they unveiled their new products and lessons for the school year and delighted children and adults with opportunities to play with basic Legos that help students explore emotions and more complex options like LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3.
The Lego Foundation has found via their research the incredible power of learning through play. This research is developed in conjunction with MIT's Mitch Resnick and his Lifelong Kindergarten research group. You can make a case to do this in your classroom, by accessing the research yourself on the Lego Foundation's website.
Don't know how to get started? Well, Lego has that covered too. They have a suite of lesson plans you can access and filter by subject and grade level.
It doesn't end in the classroom either. As students become more adept there are opportunities to move to more complex projects starting in elementary school with Lego FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) competitions.
Click here to watch students show off their work.
Teachers can get prepared to provide this learning to their students by visiting the LEGO Education Academy, free online learning courses. You can also visit a selection of these courses on the Microsoft Educator Community where teachers connect and collaborate, find training and lessons, take their classes on virtual field trips, and earn badges and certificates on a personalized hub created for educators by educators. Teachers can also access courses and earn badges for LEGO MINDSTOMS Education EV3. These self-paced courses take teachers from beginner to classroom-ready in successfully integrating LEGO Education solutions into existing STEM curriculum and daily lesson planning. You can explore the three available courses in the Microsoft Educator Community – Getting Started, Programming and In the Classroom. | 2019-04-25T23:46:55 | https://www.techlearning.com/tl-advisor-blog/12254 |
