It's not just about having auto insurance; it's about having the right coverage plan before an accident happens. For AAA South Jersey, serving the southern portion of the Garden State, raising awareness of its auto insurance options was the objective of a multi-screen advertising campaign with Comcast Spotlight.
AAA franchises have well-defined boundaries, so geographic targeting was ideal for helping this campaign reach its target audience. By focusing on four zones in southern New Jersey, AAA reached drivers within its service area, avoiding an inefficient overlap with other affiliates. The television advertising component of the campaign included a cross-section of popular networks aligned with AAA's target audience of adults 25-54, like Bravo, Discovery, Food Network, HGTV, History, H2 and TLC. On the digital front, pre-roll video advertising on Xfinity.com also targeted AAA South Jersey's primary audience, offering another opportunity to engage with those in the market for auto insurance.
Multi-screen advertising proved to be an effective way for AAA South Jersey to build brand awareness. Three-quarters of pre-roll video ads were viewed for the full 30 seconds, and clickthrough rates were 10 times better than the national average. | 2019-04-26T11:47:52 | https://www.comcastspotlight.com/success-stories/aaa-south-jersey |
Coronado Mainland has their Thursday Morning Four-Play starting on Thursday, April 4th. at 8:45 am. There is NO ENTRY FEE. But I thought I would post a notice about the Summer Rotational Series that will be held at Hawthorne, Leesburg and Tavares. If you are interested, here is their schedule. Their Series is open to all clubs as is our Thursday Morning Play. It is a shame that both schedules are for Thursdays. | 2019-04-21T23:06:03 | https://cmshuffleboard.org/2019/03/25/summer-rotational-series/ |

Editor’s note: This is the sixth “Life in Seely’s Castle” tale. All are available, with photos, at mountainx.com or gospeljerry.com.
A lot of people let their hair down in my castle, but Rapunzel never did.
No, the answer to the third-most-frequently-asked question about my former residence lay deep in the bowels of the ominous, imposing tower at the west end.
At the bottom of the tower sat a huge coal furnace which, assisted by a big pump, delivered hot water through thousands of feet of pipe to the radiators spread throughout the castle and in the four-car, freestanding garage and chauffeur’s quarters some 300 feet to the north.
I didn’t really appreciate the enormity of the task of keeping this massive heating plant going until the caretaker was out of town for a couple of days during an extreme cold snap, and the king had to shovel what seemed like tons of coal into the stoker’s gaping maw and remove innumerable clinkers.
Shortly after that, we converted the system to oil, employing a 2,000-gallon tank, retrieved from the junkyard, that could hold a whole tanker load of fuel. This turned out to be far more cost-efficient and less labor-intensive, and I always wondered why Asheville-Biltmore College hadn’t done it years before.
In the interest of conservation, we kept the radiators in the public areas turned way down, creating an appropriately frigid English castle atmosphere. Surprisingly, the bedroom was very comfortable; in the rest of the house, we simply wore sweaters and let our teeth chatter in our best British accent.
Above the furnace at ground level sat an austere room that had originally been guarded from the outside by a very unusual curved, ornately carved oak door. Unfortunately, the previous owner had transferred it to his home in Memphis, Tenn., where I had occasion to admire it.
One might have mistaken this room for a sort of concrete dungeon if not for the vaultlike safe that many banks would have been proud of. This, my friends, was the countinghouse, where I’m sure much treasure and secret documents pertaining to the many enterprises undertaken by Seely and his extraordinarily wealthy father-in-law, E.W. Grove, were stored.
It’s also rumored that secret papers from the Teapot Dome oil scandal in the early 1920s had been locked in this safe.
When I acquired the house, the safe’s doors were locked open and I didn’t have the combination. When I tried to close the doors they would bang and gape, as if mocking me for not having anything of value to stash there anyway.
The very proper dining area, which could probably have accommodated 30 or 40 people, was reached by a set of stairs that wound down from the great room. We put red-velvet wallpaper above the oak wainscoting, and with a beautiful chandelier and a very large table (a family heirloom that was almost big enough for the space), it achieved a very satisfying effect.
To take advantage of this, I wanted to hold at least one very special dinner for my family and close friends. I engaged legendary chef Bob Werth and his talented staff at A-B Tech to cater an evening to remember with candlelight, wine, incredible food and impeccable service. On this night I truly felt like a king.
Around the time we bought the castle we got a contract to remove all the furniture and fixtures from the old Biltmore Hospital (where I was born, by the way). Much of the big kitchen equipment ended up in the castle kitchen.
We ate most of our meals there on a lazy Susan table that must have been 10 feet in diameter (one of many that we liquidated from the Lazy Susan Restaurant on Merrimon). It was the perfect solution to the seemingly endless stream of little crumb-crushers visiting my children: It wasn't unusual to have eight or 10 chairs filled. We would just place the food on the central turntable and let everyone help themselves.
This did lead to occasional food fights, with sometimes disastrous results. In the heat of battle, it seemed as though that thing could rotate at 50 mph! Happily, however, there were no actual casualties, other than the odd bowl of spaghetti flung against the white tile walls.

The massive shrine, which is a symbol of Batman’s Hasankeyf district, was moved two kilometres away in a single piece thanks to a newly produced rail system and the laying down of a special asphalt. At least 50 people, including engineers, were on duty to aid in the moving process. The preparations for the moving of the historical shrine took two years and necessitated the creation of a special platform with at least 150 wheels. Concrete measuring a depth of one meter was poured below the shrine before it was transferred to a platform with its concrete base by hydraulic cranes.
Turkish Police and gendarmerie forces took security measures during the moving process, flying drones in the area. The gendarmerie also used detectors and specially trained dogs to search for any possible bombs. Moreover, the dam project is considered as controversial because it will inundate areas of southeastern Turkey, destroying priceless archaeological heritage.
The Zeynel Bey shrine is the only work left by the Aq Qoyunlu tribal federation ruling once in Hasankeyf. It is believed that Zeynel Bey was the son of Uzun Hasan, the ruler of the Aq Qoyunlu, but that he lost his life in the Battle of Otlukbaşı (1473), which took place between the Aq Qoyunlu and the Ottomans. | 2019-04-19T13:06:46 | http://archaeofeed.com/2017/05/historic-shrine-moved-to-make-way-for-hydroelectric-dam/ |
"Congo." Geography, Africa, Q-files Encyclopedia, 30 Mar. 2015.
Geography, Africa, s.v. "Congo," accessed April 26, 2019.
Congo is sometimes known as the Republic of the Congo or Congo-Brazzaville (after its capital city) to distinguish it from its larger neighbour, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The Equator runs across the middle of the country. In the north is a swampy, thickly-forested region, part of the vast Congo rainforest. In the south, the land rises to a low plateau, the Batéké Plateau, part of the Crystal Mountains, before sloping down to wide plains at the coast. The country’s eastern border is formed by the River Oubangi, and further south by the immense River Congo. Congo’s location on the Equator gives it a hot, humid climate all year round; its main rainy season is between October and December.
Congo’s population is made up of Bantu peoples; about half belong to the largest group, the Kongo. Other groups include the Teke and Sanga. About three-quarters of the population live in the cities of Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire, or in towns along the railway that runs between them. Congo’s Baka people, who live by hunting and fishing, have inhabited an area in the northeastern rainforest for centuries. Vast areas of Congo are almost completely uninhabited. Many Congolese people follow Christianity alongside traditional beliefs such as animism. Animists believe that non-human things, such as hills, trees and rivers, have spirits.
Congo’s capital, Brazzaville, lies immediately across the river from Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. | 2019-04-26T15:53:08 | https://www.q-files.com/geography/africa/congo/ |

comments:Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful house for the past week and of course for the initial supply of food and drink. We had a really nice and relaxing time here and would recommend you any time!
comments:Thank you for a lovely stay. We loved the authenticity of the Trullo, located in a beautiful,peaceful spot. The superb welcome pack was much appreciated. Thank you again for being so helpful, especially when we got lost in Cisternino!
comments:This was our third stay (with gaps of several years )and every bit as enjoyable as previous ones. We love this area and the peace and tranquility of the trullo. Many thanks.
comments:My spouse and I recently returned to Trullo San Rocco because we had so loved our stay there in 2011. The trullo's quiet location amid olive groves is idyllic, and it is just a few minutes by car from several ancient and interesting towns. The entire area is picturesque. The owners, who live a few miles away, are responsive, helpful, and pleasantly friendly. We enjoyed our second stay every bit as much as the first, and we hope to return yet again.
comments:We spend one week of our holiday on Trullo San Rocco 11 - 18.07.2015 and it was very nice, the Trullo was very clean and the garden was big, the surounding was quiet so you have total privacy, still not far from nice town Cisternino and just under 20 mins from Ostuni. Good food and warm weather.
comments:We had a lovely holiday in this magical trullo and area. We used the bikes quite a lot and explored. We especially enjoyed sitting under the stunning oak tree eating handfuls of trullo cherries.
comments:Feeling our years we have to pass on the wonderful times we have spent at Trullo San Salvatore. For many seasons now (15!) this has been our holiday destination. A pick me up, a prize, a deserved break..whatever the excuse. Oooh! let's go.. and so we have done just that. Our children and friends have happily come along, when invited! We discovered trullilovely when there was only one trullo to choose from which was this one so we always considered it our house. Very relaxing, very Italian.
comments: We have much enjoyed our stay in this delightful and spacious holiday bolt hole! Thank you so much for the provisions that were left for us and we used them all. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen good and also the bathroom. We much enjoyed the DVDs in the evenings after we trailed home. All in all a great visit to catch some sun and generally unwind.
comments: Truly lovely. Thank you so much for all the food! We had a great week in Puglia.
comments: Dear Trullilovely. Thanks for a lovely stay and a great trulli!
comments: We spent just a week here. Our first visit to Puglia. It could not have been a better choice. A complete break. Work permitting we will be back.
comments: Thank you for everything-again. Our two week holiday here is the year’s highlight…after Christmas of course. The sea and a picnic every day, as promised to the kids, coming back to splash about in our own pool. Bill is even ready to BBQ in the evenings and Martha ate fish for the first time this year and loved it! The trullo is always clean, roomy and cool so we all sleep lots. It is like being reborn I suppose. Sun, sea, good food, smiley people all around.
comments: This was our honeymoon. Just a few days and not long enough to explore all the towns around. We soon learned to get up early to make the most of the day. A market or sea in the morning- or both. Afternoon siesta in the heat of the day and then spruce up and out in the evenings for a walk around and then the difficult choice between a pizza, a restaurant meal, roast meat or just a huge ice cream for supper.
comments: Many thanks for a wonderful time in your lovely trullo. We return in a far more relaxed state.
comments: Thank you for all your kind preparations. Unfortunately Easyjet won’t let us to take back all the pottery we would like. Our suitcases are full! We will be able to add to our collection on a future visit.
comments: Now we are sad to be home in France. We loved all about the trullo, the place and the space. It was a surprise and we come back next summer.
comments: La Difesa hat unsere Erwartungen noch übertroffen. Das mit viel Liebe restaurierte Trullo liegt weit auf dem Land, umgeben von Pinien-, Feigen- und Olivenbäumen. Empfehlenswert für alle, die etwas Individuelles Besonderes mit viel Charme suchen. Amy und Phil sind sehr sympathisch und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und waren sicherlich nicht zum letzten Mal hier.
comments: Mille grazie! We spent a wonderful week in your sweet trullo! We even got in quite a few beach days. The light there was fantasticand we took advantage of it to paint and draw. Just what we wanted to do on our holiday. We hope to meet again and we will recommend you to friends. Ciao, ciao!
comments: Thank you. We had a lovely time and the weather was great. We visited many places and took loads of photos. My daughter loved St. Anna by the way, the food was really tasty.
comments: We've had a great holiday in San Salvatore.Thanks for all the information you sent and the directions were brilliant. Also many thanks for all the goodies you left which was very thoughtful of you. We shall certainly be coming back. Arrivederci!
comments: Nous avons passé un bon sejour, merci pour les provisions et le vin petillant qui etait excellent! Au plaisir, Arrivederci!
comments: Phil & Amy, thank you for such a lovely holiday. The trullo exceeded our expectations, it was beautiful and so tranquil, and a perfect location to wind down floating in the pool overlooking the pine trees. The well-stocked fridge on arrival was a welcome surprise and we didn't need to shop for a couple of days! We used the bikes a couple of times but really you need a car to get out and appreciate your surroundings. Thanks for all your tips and guidance. Our favourite beach was Lido Bizarro with its friendly cafe, our favourite restaurant definitely Santa Ana's by the station - the food was sublime. We would recommend this holiday experience to everyone!
comments: For people who prefer Polish! Pisze opinie bedac wciaż na miejscu i to już chyba swiadczy o tym, jak wspaniala niespodzianke sprawily nam domki Trullo. Spodziewalismy się, że będzie fajnie, ale mimo to zostaliśmy przyjemnie zaskoczeni. Urocze miejsce, cisza, spokój - doskonała baza wypadowa na całą okolicę półwyspu. Publikowane zdjęcia nie kłamią - jest wspaniale. Co do tego, czy łatwo znaleźć miejsce... no cóż, mam inną opinię niż poprzednicy. Lepiej użyć GPS. albo dzwonic do gospodarzy, znajdą Was i doprowadzą na miejsce. Przed nami jeszcze kilka dni (za mało), ale już dzisiaj polecam.
comments: Had a break here in April and had a lovely time. The weather was varied and not that warm but we were able to eat outside sometimes during the day wearing jumpers. Annette even managed to have a shower outside each morning. We were snug indoors at night with the pellet stove. What we liked best was travelling from the north of England by train to Fasano station (kindly picked up by Phil and Amy very late at night) and spent our time in the area sight seeing on two of their bikes. We rode to the station, chained up the bikes and caught trains to go to places further a field. This was great for our carbon foot print - well relatively - and made us feel less bad about all the travel we do for work. The Italian train service is great and meant we had time to see Milan too. Phil and Amy manage that balance of being helpful and attentive but giving you the privacy and space you want in the middle of 'no where'. We loved the building and were fascinated by the structure.
comments: This was our second visit to the "trullilovely" people, and was even better than the first(which was wonderful!) An ideal spot to unwind after a few months of work/dark skies/cold winds/floods etc. The high standard of comfort, peaceful surrounding countryside, and friendly locals make for a memorable holiday. We hope to return for a third visit in the near future and would ask Amy and Phil to change nothing - it's perfect as it is!
comments: What a fabulous week! Only problem is it wasn't long enough so we will be returning. Trullo San Salvatore gives a real flavour of Italy with its flagstone floors and cool interior and the pool provided refreshment after our explorations. The surrounding area and towns are beautiful and nothing is too far away. A great mix of culture, food, sun and relaxation. I would definitely recommend this holiday.
comments: Its round structures with cone shaped-Trullo Bianco was the place were we had spend our lovely holiday. The thick walls kept us cool throughout the night. Very comfortable inside and spacious outside! We enjoyed the country side of Puglia, exploring its surroundings. Nice and friendly people, sweet fruit and fresh veg kept our family very healthy. Also, enjoyed Pizzeria nearby, which is 5 min drive on the main road. The fresh Italian bread is so delicious that you can eat non-stop. The Adriatic coast has many beaches, we've enjoyed Torre Canne! The owners are charming people who are willing to explain and assist you when necessary. We will recommend Trullilovely to our friends!
Comment:A lovely cool trullo. Shady and breezy in the hottest part of the day yet still sunny places on the large patio for the lizard in the party,with sun loungers to relax in and enjoy the view. Never got too hot at night as the cones kept the place cool. Well equipped (even a hairdrier) and comfortable. Bikes are available. This trullo is secluded and off the beaten track so be prepared to negotiate narrow lanes especially if you arrive at night- but Amy's directions are clear.
Comment: Wij zijn het helemaal eens met de reacties van de ander gasten in het gastenboek.Wij hebben genoten van het slenteren door de mooie dorpjes, door Matera en Lecce en van onze fietstochtjes over de kleine landweggetjes omgeven door stenen muurtjes en de velden vol bloemen. Amy had voor ons 4 mountainbikes geregeld en hiervoor hoefden we niets extra's te betalen. Bij aankomst stond er ook koffie thee brood pasta enz klaar. Trullo Bianco ligt helemaal vrij met een prachtig uitzicht op Valle de Itrea met in de verte Martina Franca. Er is ruimte genoeg voor 6 personen.En niet onbelangrijk: de bedden sliepen heerlijk! Vooral voor mensen uit de grensstreek van Nederland goedkoop vliegen vanuit Koln Bonn met Tui fly. Kortom, doen!!!
We fully agree with the comments of others guests in the guestbook. We enjoyed the stroll through the beautiful villages, Matera and Lecce and our biking on the small country roads surrounded by stone walls and fields full of flowers. Amy provided 4 mountain bikes and we this was with nothing extra to pay. Upon arrival there was also coffee tea bread pasta etc. in the house. Trullo Bianco is completely secluded with a magnificent view of the Valle Itrea with Martina Franca in the distance. There is room enough for 6 people. And very important: we slept really well in those beds! Especially for people from the border of the Netherlands cheap flights from Koln Bonn with Tui fly. Summing it up, do it!
Travelling party: Family and friends.
Comment: Na Engels, Frans en Duits in het gastenboek nu een beetje Nederlands. We hebben daar een fantastische week beleefd. Niet te warm geen last van muggen! Zalig ontspannen,mooie dorpjes lekker eten echt een aanrader. De trulli was heel gezellig, klein badkamertje maar als je op vakantie bent heb je tijd genoeg! We hadden ook een beetje bang dat het moeilijk te vinden was, maar met de uitleg van Amy en Phil was het makkelijk om er te geraken. Je hebt natuurlijk wel een auto nodig.Een echte aanrader gewoon doen!!! Alhoewel onze Trulli leuk en misschien meer zoals vroeger was, hebben we ook Trullo La Difesa gezien. Die was magnefiek mooi, zeer ruim en ze liggen tegen elkaar(zonder hinder te hebben van mekaar) dus ideaal voor twee familie's. Het grote voordeel is ook wel dat de eigenaars Engels spreken.
After English, French and German language in this guestbook we now start with Dutch lesson number 1. We had a marvelous week, not to warm and no mosquito's! Wonderful relaxing, beautiful villages and fine food, it's recommendable. The trullo was quite enjoyable, a small bathroom but when you are on holiday one has time enough. We were a bit scared about finding our way to the trullo but with the explanation of Amy and Phil it was rather easy to get there. You need a car, of course. Really recommendable, just do it. Although our trullo was authentic, just like in the old days, we also had the opportunity to visit Trullo La Difensa. This one, adjacent to Trullo San Salvatore (without any inconvenience for one's privacy), is really marvelous and quite big. The great advantage is that the owners are in the vicinity and speak English.
Comment: Nous avons passé des vacances très agréables dans ce trullo spacieux et joliment rénové!
L'environnement est calme, complanté d'oliviers, non loin du charmant village de Cisternino qui mérite la visite.
Les propriétaires n'habitent pas très loin du trullo et sont très sympathiques !
La proximité de sites exceptionnels comme Ostuni, Alberobello, Lecce et des plages de sables nous ont permis de passer des vacances farniente et culturelles, en limitant les déplacements.
Nous recommanderons ce trullo sans hésitation à des amis qui souhaiteraient passer des vacances dans les pouilles.
Comment: Wow!! It was hot! So take plenty of suncream! The trulli is fabulous. Everything you need is there and we adored the outside shower after hours spent on the beaches. Loads to do and places to explore nearby. Wished we'd had longer though. Great location, we loved being able to retreat back into the country in the evenings to escape. Overall we all had a wonderful time.
Travelling party: Family and friend.
Comment: Hi! We had a great time exploring this part of Italy. The week went too fast and we will be back to see the rest. We loved the walks both in the country and in the towns. All in all we feel refreshed and enriched. To be continued....Thanks so much.
Comment: Friends had recommended this place as the ideal honeymoon spot and when we saw the pictures on the site we went for it! This was a special time for us and the wedding itself had been so stressful that it was just great to be on our own and be in our own 'house' at San Salvatore where we immediately felt looked after and able to relax. We think we couldn't have chosen better than this.
Comment: We have come here every year now for five years and think that that is a recommendation in itself!
Comment: We loved the trullis and had a wonderful holiday in October. I can't believe it was already over a a month ago. Everything worked out perfectly and we all had a wonderful time together. The trullis were pefect and together made the ideal place to stay - we definately benefited from having 2 different places! The area was lovely - peaceful, relaxing, sunny and plenty to keep us busy. And the restaurants locally were fantastic. We particularly liked La Stazione on the way into Cisternino - a bit pricey perhaps but delicious food. So we all left with great memories and hope to return one day. Thanks again for all your help with information, wine and being at the end of an email to help out with my questions.
Comment: J’en profite pour vous dire que nous avons fort apprécié le séjour dans votre logement, c’était très agréable.
Comment: Very peaceful spot and lots to see and do close by. The trullo was always nice and cool inside, which made a change from our house in the heatwave in England!
Comment: Perfect! Enjoyed the BBQs in the evenings, the peace and quiet, reading and, when we could be bothered, making forays into the village and to the towns to stock up with more delicious food. Unbelievable fruit and veg markets and bought too many shoes- of course. The trullo was in a good location with lovely views as well as being well equipped for the cooks. Comfortable and relaxing.
Comment: Our first sight of the trulli was breathtaking.It was perfect.The surrounding countryside was beautiful and so peaceful.We had a fantastic relaxing holiday and fell in love with the trulli and area. We will definitely go back for another holiday if not to buy our own property. Beware take plenty of suncream for during the day and insect repellent for evenings.To experience a little slice of real italy visit Cisternino at night.And for great food in Sisto.
Comment: We love Puglia but it was the first time we booked everything ourselves. So easy and it worked out really well. The house was great, bigger and more spacious than any other trullo we had stayed in before. The beaches were just beginning to get crowded when we left so we went back relaxed and suntanned. We saved so much money doing the trip this way that we went out a lot to eat and the kids loved that.
Comment: It may have taken 7 months to send this message but we had a wonderful time and have highly recommended trulli holidays at every opportunity since we visited!
Comment: One of our main worries was not being able to find the place but the instructions were clear and it was a real pleasure to be able to get there, let ourselves in and explore without having to involve anyone else! We had a good and lazy time, pottering at home and visiting the towns around. People were friendly and even though they didn’t seem to understand English we got by with some French and gesturing! One day we will be back as a week was not really long enough to do everything we wanted to.
Comment: Had a really good holiday! The house was welcoming (food in the fridge at arrival!!) and the place was great. Hope to be back soon... maybe even this summer.
Comment: Thankyou for making our stay most comfortable, we have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Puglia.
We are off to Lecce for 2 days then home.
Comment: Enjoyed our stay in your lovely trulli.
Sorry we kept missing you - would have liked a chat.
Comment: Time for us to go-alas- we’ve had a super two weeks- many thanks for your hospitality. The trullo is a gorgeous holiday residence and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed exploring the locality. Hope the rest of the season goes well for you and -once again- a big thankyou!
Comment: Thank-you for lovely stay in trullo. It was charming!! Have tried to tidy up a bit. Hope everything ok.
Comment: Thank you very much - we had a lovely holiday. Thanks for letting us have the extra day. Enjoy the balloons!
Comment: Thank you for the use of the lovely trulli. We have enjoyed our stay immensely. We've cleaned up as best we can, hope it's ok. Sorry about the drinking glass! We hope to see you again one day and will recommend Cisternino to our frinds.
Comment: Hope all is ok.
Unfortunately, whilst frantic packing was taking place Sasha took the opportunity to graffiti the bed spread in Ollies room.
She used a fully washable kids felt tip pen so it should come out in the wash.
However if it doesn't please let us know.
We have had 2 fantastic weeks and cannot wait to come back.
The trulli are lovely and very comfortable.
Comment: Thankyou for the opportunity to stay in your lovely trullo.
We have had a great week (weather notwithstanding). Hope you like the flowers.
Comment: Thankyou for the note the other day. I regret not meeting as have enjoyed touring the area and staying in the trullo which was well stocked and welcoming.
Hopefully we shall come again next year. Kind regards and thanks again.
Comment: Thankyou very much. We enjoyed our stay here, a lot.
We will be recommending this place to all our friends! Kind regards.
Comment: We've had a lovely week and your trullo is really nice.
Had to light the fire at night - you were right! Many thanks. | 2019-04-25T07:19:22 | http://www.trullilovely.com/guests.html |

WASHINGTON — With a client list that reads like a roster of Fortune 500 firms, a little-known company with an odd name, the Talx Corporation, has come to dominate a thriving industry: helping employers process — and fight — unemployment claims.
Talx entered the field brashly, buying the industry’s two largest companies on a single day in 2002. In the next few years, it bought five more. Until then, Talx had never handled an unemployment claim, and skeptics wondered how well it could blend seven companies in an unfamiliar industry.
The Federal Trade Commission argued in a 2008 antitrust complaint that the acquisitions, which cost $230 million, had allowed Talx to “raise prices unilaterally” and “decrease the quality of services.” Talx modified some contracts to settle the case, but admitted no legal violations.
Financially, the gamble paid off: Talx was acquired three years ago by Equifax, the credit-rating giant, for $1.4 billion. But work once done locally became centralized — at a loss, critics say, of responsiveness and expertise.

Funding is one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face as they look to establish, grow, and scale their operation. Thankfully crowdfunding sites have come along to give individuals and businesses of all sizes the opportunity to raise the funds they need when traditional methods are no longer an option.
The growth of crowdfunding in recent years is responsible for funding thousands of ventures and raising billions of dollars. However, not all crowdfunding sites are created equal.
There are now many different types of crowdfunding sites addressing specific industry sectors to better serve this need.
Below you will find 18 crowdfunding sites, organized by specialty to get you off the ground. Commissions, fees, and terms vary or change from time to time, so always double check the “fine print,” as the saying goes.
Indiegogo allows you to raise funds for anything. You can choose an all-or-nothing option or an option that allows you to keep funds you have raised even if you haven’t met your goal.
They charge a 3% – $25 transaction fee and either 4% or 9% depending on if you meet your goal or if you choose to walk away with funds without meeting your goal. They also offer non-profit discounts on their fees.
Another general fundraising site is GoFundMe. This is a funding site popular with individuals who need money for a wide range of purposes.
Campaigns have been launched for everything from short-term projects to medical emergencies on the site. The site charges a 5% commission and a 3% transaction fee.
Fundly allows you to raise funds even from your mobile device. It is socially integrated and lets you post blog updates on your fundraising page. The platform’s monthly fee schedule is based on how many campaigns you want to run at once (one at a time has no monthly fee though there is a 4.9% commission and 3% transaction fee).
Kickstarter, probably the best-known crowdfunding site, is an all-or-nothing crowdfunding platform. (You must reach your fundraising goal or you receive no funds.) The site is for creative works in areas including technology, food, fashion, etc. You set your goal and offer an incentive. If you reach your goal, there is a 5% project fee and a 3 – 5% transaction fee.
FunderHut is a crowdfunding service aimed at small businesses, communities, non-profits and individuals. Their all-or-nothing campaigns have a 5% fee if the goal is reached and a 3% payment processing fee. If you choose the “variable” plan, you pay 7.5% if you do not meet your goal.
Rockethub allows you to find other funding if your goal is not met. There is a 4% commission for successful projects or 8% for those that don’t meet their funding goals, as well as a 4% transaction fee.
Focusing on entrepreneurs and small businesses, Peerbackers allows you to find funding from your friends in exchange for rewards. They charge a 5% “success fee” and a 2.9% transaction processing fee.
Funding Circle US focuses on offering loans to US businesses and allows others to invest in loans. Again, your interest rates will be determined by your credit score. There is also a UK website.
You can receive interest-free loans through Kiva or Kiva Zip if you are located in the US or Kenya. For startups that would prefer repaying donated funds, this is a great method of raising them.
You have the option of offering rewards or equity with Fundable. The service operates its own marketing platform and you set minimum donations for rewards. The minimum equity commitment is $1000. There is a monthly fee during campaigns.
You might not guess from the name but MicroVentures helps startups and other businesses generate $100,000 – $1,000,000 in capital in the entertainment, tech, social, and gaming sectors.
CircleUp is looking for innovative retail and consumer companies. Your company needs to be able to show it can turn a profit in 1 – 3 years to get accepted.
For a variety of equity options, try EarlyShares. Terms vary based upon the options you choose.
If you need funding for app creation, pitch your idea to Appsfunder and reward investors or offer them return on their money. This is an all-or-nothing funding website. The service charges 8% commission on completed campaigns, 3% transaction fee, and 5% of revenue when the app is finished.
VentureHealth is an equity-based funding platform that specifically seeks entrepreneurs building technology businesses in the health sector. The service does not allow fundraising for research, but does facilitate funding of biotechnology, healthcare services, medical devices, digital health, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostics. VentureHealth charges 20% carried interest on profits.
Authors can find people to fund their books at Unbound in exchange for a copy of the book and possibly a goodie bag upon publication. You must pitch your book to them.
TechMoola offers reward crowdfunding for innovation and technology. The site charges a 10% flat rate for funding goals once met, 15% for unmet goals less than $25,000 and 20% for unmet goals over that amount.
Slated is a niche crowdfunding resource for film that brings industry, filmmakers, and investors together.
I thought I was pretty current on the space, but I’m only familiar with 5-6 of these companies. This is such a cool area for SMBs and offers so much opportunity. Thanks for the great post TJ!
Thanks a ton for the kind words. I appreciate it. How’s biz?
I listened to Daniel Daboczy, CEO of FundedByMe, at MeetUp in Gothenburg some time ago. It was fascinating to listen to his talk, story and future plans.
I have always been amazed with the idea of crowdfunding as it is a great way for funding businesses that would not have been born if it were to depend on traditional funding methods. It also amazes me how many websites have sprung. But I am wondering more about their trust factor as this is about investments after all.
Timely post for me TJ. I’ve just started a volunteer assignment with Grow Movement, working with an entrepreneur in Malawi. His vision is to establish a business that makes furniture while also serving as a carpentry vocational school for kids that have been orphaned through the AIDS epidemic in Malawi. Not sure any of these will be right for him but it is a great place to start looking into non-traditional funding sources!!
Breakaway funding is another great crowdfunding site for equity and debt based crowdfunding. I was surprised it wasn’t on this list. Excited for Title III because I prefer securities in return for my investment. Great list and thanks.
Haven’t heard of that but I will look into that. Crowdfunding is pretty new to me as I have not really used it to fund my business. Sure, I know how it works. But then it is hard to understand if you have not really used it.
Hi here’s another one to add; it’s a niche site that focuses on creating and marketing crowdfunding campaigns http://www.crowdfundconnect.com.
Great list of crowdfunding sites. This article is timeless. If you can get your application accepted my favourite is Kickstarter because they are so well known off and online that you’ll receive additional exposure.
Great that you were able to come up with the list. The industry certainly has grown and changed since this was last posted. There are many more platforms and solutions available to the crowdfunding community.
Crowdfunding has now become an effective and reliable way of raising funds that a lot of people who are in need are benefiting from it. Plumfund.com is a good example of a crowdfunding platform that helps fund anything from special causes, baby showers, graduation and anniversary parties, clubs, travel, hardships and more. | 2019-04-20T17:06:18 | https://smallbiztrends.com/2014/06/crowdfunding-sites.html |
Pinoy Fitness Eco Runners just arrived at Subic Lighthouse at around 4:00 in the morning on June 09, 2012. Everyone was tired yet nervous and excited with the outcome of this race. There is no cash prize but only a race for a bragging rights on each players and the whole team. I actually dont know why i joined this event. I've just heard this to my teammates that we are going to make this race possible and will surely have fun and win if we are going to unite as one family and group of happy people.
These are the runners from Race Legs 1-5 wearing our PF Eco Runner Shirt, Coach Mherlz was our First Runner, all the support vehicles are not allowed to follow the runners but the organizers assigned 2 Bike Marshalls per runner. The Bike Marshall's work was to follow but not give to instructions to the runners. The first leg started at Lighthouse SBMA around 5:25am and ended up at Brgy Nagboloyong Morong at 10:30 am with our Last Runner Peachy Tamayo and Pass the Baton to Cecil Macogay for the 2nd Batch of Players.
These were the first group photo op at Bataan Nuclear Power Plant when Peachy the last runner from the first Batch.
From the 1st five race of the leg, our turn to run was started from 10:30 am at Brgy. Nagboloyong Morong-Mt. Samat Bataan and it ended around 3:00 in the afternoon. Each runners wear their Pinoy Fitness Shirt and ran under the sun. We were blessed because nobody get hurt, injured and got a problem like heat stroke and etc while running under the sun oh well except than we got tanned due to the high intensity of the sun. Bob was the last runner on the First 10 leg.
This is me at around 12:00 in the afternoon at Runners Exchange Point 8 waiting for my turn to run from Parac, Bagac to Liyang Pilar. I know my nervousness is killing me and everytime its getting closer and closer i always ended up going to the bathroom to pee. It is a sign of nervousness but in the picture it doesnt show.
When Edgar arrived at Runners Exchange 8 and after hand it over the baton, i ran and ran faster looking forward to finish the race immediately because i was running under the sun.
The Van followed after 15mins and Cheryl took a shot inside the van while i was running at around 1:25 in the afternoon. I thought the water im carrying would have enough for my hydration but i was wrong, The distance i was running was not 6.4 but instead it was 8.4 thats the Bike Marshall told me. I only took it like around 39minutes but take me so long i ran out of water and i was really dehydrated this time but i have no choice but to continue what i have started.
Approaching Runners Exchange 9 passing the Baton to Bob Tolete under the heat intensity i was really excited to go to the exchange point because it was freaking damn hot. I was run out of water here, dehydrated and my skin was totally tanned up.
Heres my support crew and team mates was really helpful, they gave me cold water and took off everything in my arms and all the excess baggage in my body so i can easily breathe out and to avoid the heat stroke. While Bob was running already it took us around 20mins to leave the area because i have to use the bathroom and took a shower instead for the refreshment of my body.
And we are finally here at the Liyang Pilar, Summit of Mount Samat, took this picture because i was amazed with the scenic view of the cross and the sun.
Scene from Van 2 When Bob Arrived at Mt. Samat it only took him 1 hour for the 9.5 distance and we were happy that we arrived early on the cut off time. Our turn has ended on the 2nd part of the first 10 race legs. The runners from vehicle 1 was already preparing to leave because Coach Mherlz was running downhill and that start for another 2nd part of the 2nd 10 of the race legs.
Pinoy Fitness Eco Runners powered by Nathan Sports Products running at night. Only 7 of us had the pictures running at night, maybe the photographers was tired and sleepy that is why lala, Phillip and Mharu was not in this picture. We started running in the dark in the middle morong Bagac Boundary to San Narciso Zambales. Bob was lost and Runnox took so much time running his leg, it was really hard on that part as in total darkness along the road no cars, no light posts only the light of the vehicle gives light for the runners.
This was the last scene on the 30 leg of the race after Bob have checked in at the time of 6:22 in the morning we have our group picture taken by Ryan Moral together with us was our Bike Marshalls who also went with our journey all the way up to 250 km it was Boyet and Anthea. We were all proud we did it on an early time.
Success and enjoyment the feeling of finishing the race of 250km at almost 25hours was really unbelievable. It was truly unpredictable. Kudos to all of the runners who did their best shot run on their own pace and run brave towards the night. It was such a blessing in disguise that our prayers was really answered. We crossed the finish line strong and injury free. We are one proud Team and of Course our Head Managers which are Jeff Lo and Cheryl Castaneda were the one so happy and proud. Thanks God, thanks who believe on us that we can do this and thanks for the trust that the team members gave during our race.
After finishing the race we were given this Powerade hydration and photo op at the photo booth. One proud team who conquered the Town of Subic, Bataan and Zambales within 25hours of an epic relay style.
At the finish line together with our Team Bike Marshalls Boyet and Anthea who ran with us from the start up to the last leg of the race. Thank you so much for these two guys for their heartfelt dedication watching over us while running and guiding us towards our destination. | 2019-04-21T10:22:40 | http://luckyjackie.blogspot.com/2012/06/pf-eco-runners-review-epic-relay-250km.html |
The 1.7 kilometre ocean-front footpath is the latest section of the ever-growing 36 kilometre network of shared use pathways between the NSW border and the Gold Coast Seaway.
Acting Mayor Donna Gates, who attended the celebration at Wyberba Park with Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey, said this was an exciting day for the Southern Gold Coast.
“The community has wanted this ‘missing link’ completed for a long time and it’s wonderful to see the community embracing this new section,” Cr Gates said.
Dune vegetation improvement works were undertaken as part of the project to further increase resistance to coastal erosion and improve dune vegetation ecosystems.
The $4 million project was jointly funded by City of Gold Coast and the Queensland Government through its Cycle Network Local Government Grant program.
Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the Palaszczuk Government was proud to support the delivery of this important new part of the oceanway.
“We committed to the delivery of the Tugun to Bilinga Oceanway project last year and have invested more than $2 million to create a dedicated off-road shared path for bike riders and pedestrians,” Mr Bailey said.
Mr Bailey said the funding was part of the Queensland Government’s commitment to the delivery of safe, direct and connected bike networks across the state.
“We know that, on average, every dollar we invest in bike-riding infrastructure will return nearly five dollars in economic benefit to Queenslanders with improved health outcomes, reduced traffic congestion and lower transport costs.
“The Queensland Government is investing more than $240 million in the next four years to boost the state’s bike riding culture, including investment in bike riding infrastructure, planning and programs. | 2019-04-26T15:58:09 | http://news.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/media-releases/southern-oceanway-link-celebrated |

The Dobbie House is a landmark and one of the most recognizable homes in the landscape of the downtown core of Thorold. This substantial brick building has been a silent sentinel at the southeast corner of Pine Street and St.David’s Road, and has witnessed the many changes that have occurred in Thorold. The buildings located at this site are in their original location, or in the case of the barn/carriage house, very near the original location. The main building remains on its original lot and foundation. All portions of the structure can be attributed to having been constructed within the first decade of the structure’s life. Any alterations to the structures have been made with materials found either on site or within the original buildings themselves. This property is located within an area that is filled with character homes and remains in proximity to the main commercial and industrial hub of activity of the former 2nd Welland Canal valley.
The Crown Patent for the land originally known as Lot 9 in the Township of Thorold was granted to George Keefer on June 12th, 1798. June 7th, 1873 saw the division of the property into the present configuration. Rufus Swayze sold 3/8 of an acre of Lot 106 and the north half of Lot 105 to Christina Dobbie. This is the time when the present building that occupies these lots was first constructed. July 14th, 1884 ownership was transferred to Archibald G.Dobbie, who was the proprietor of the Thorold Foundry (1859–1901) located on the eastern bank of the 2nd Welland Canal near the head end of Lock 22. He was a Village Councillor in 1868 and 1874; he was also Town Assessor in 1877. There were a number of different owners but in July, 1946 the property was sold to John and Helen Dundas; they held the property until June 16, 1969 when they conveyed the property to their daughter.
This house is of the Italianate style with a deep eaves line, cambered windows with keystones, limestone window and door lintels, a limestone foundation lintel (unique), a hipped roof, a balanced facade with an offset, double-case entry door, 4 ornate chimneys and distinctive oval windows on the St.David’s Rd. elevation. These oval windows were part of the 19th century addition to the building as were the Butler’s Quarters and Summer Kitchen. Some renovations were carried out in the 20th century including the enclosed Conservatory using lumber from the barn as well as bricks from the dividing wall in the basement, the altered wall of the kitchen, and enclosed and sided Sunroom. The iron fence still exists around the property, no doubt from the Dobbie’s foundry. The inside of the house has retained many outstanding features. | 2019-04-25T03:46:49 | http://heritagethorold.com/DESIGNATED%20PROPERTIES/dobbie_house.html |

October is Health Literacy Month – a good time for all of us to bone up a little on what we understand about diet, exercise, preventative care, prescription drugs – everything really that impacts our day-to-day health.
A good place to start is Medline Plus. Medline Plus is a website compiled by the National Institutes of Health and the National Library of Medicine, and their trusted resources (like the CDC and the National Cancer Institute). In addition to basic medical information, they also feature videos, articles, links to other health organizations, health check tools, and even a link to clinical trial information.
Medline Plus can get you started, with links to even more information with the latest news. And, checking this out might help when you review your insurance this year – including getting signed up through the Affordable Care Act starting on November 1.
If you’re a kid of the 20th Century, you probably dressed up as a witch one Halloween. With so many fun fictional witches to choose from – like the Wicked Witch of the West, here – many of us had a good time turning ourselves into hags (or pretty witches, if you happened to be a fan of, say, Bewitched).
And while Hermione might be what the younger generation pictures when they hear the word, witches certainly haven’t gone away, they’ve just gotten more interesting. Pick up one of these novels and brew up a good time this Halloween season, my pretty!
Forced to set aside her Ph.D. research in order to help the settling of her late grandmother’s abandoned home, Connie Goodwin discovers a hidden key among her grandmother’s possessions that is linked to a darker chapter in Salem witch trial history.
Follows five generations of women—all of whom happen to be witches—from 19th-century Brittany to London during World War II.
A tale inspired by Manhattan’s 19th-century witchcraft revival finds a celebrated teahouse proprietress and a gifted medium teaming up with a dream interpreter in the aftermath of a psychic colleague’s disappearance.

They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they were grown-up men and women who had gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But none of them could withstand the force that drew them back to Derry, Maine to face the nightmare without an end, and the evil without a name.

Unmarried couples who plan to or currently live together are not always aware of the legal pitfalls. Without an express declaration of trust and/or a cohabitation agreement setting out your future intentions/interest in a property that you co-own or invest money and time into, can often lead to a difficult break up. One of the parties may be at a significant financial disadvantage and the court may need to become involved.
A recent case highlighted this issue. Ms Gibson applied to court against her former boyfriend, Dr William Knottenbelt for a half share of his property in South Harrow worth £500,000 after he ended his relationship with her. Ms Gibson claimed that Dr Knottenbelt had persuaded her, her uncle and her father to renovate the dilapidated property. Ms Gibson and her family did so over the course of two years. Dr Knottenbelt then ended their relationship four months after he moved in to the property.
Ms Gibson and her family claimed it was understood that Dr Knottenbelt would buy the couple’s new home, but she would have a half-share in return for contributing to extensive renovations and their living expenses. She gave up her weekends to help her family work at the property. She demanded £67,500 to cover her family’s labour costs. In court, Dr Knottenbelt accepted the contribution of Ms Gibson’s father’s contribution and said he had offered him £5,000.
The judge rejected the suggestion that ‘the episode was a deceitful sham by William to get his house renovated by her family without payment’. He made a ruling in Dr Knottenbelt’s favour on the basis that no agreement was ever reached that Ms Gibson would receive a half share of the property. The judge estimated the value of the family’s work at £12,000. Dr Knottenbelt was awarded his legal costs for the five-day hearing.
Ms Gibson and Dr Knottenbelt never lived together. If they had they could have entered into a cohabitation agreement and, even if they didn’t live together they could have signed a declaration of trust. This records a couples rights and responsibilities in relation to the property where they live and the financial arrangements between them. If Ms Gibson had insisted that she and Dr Knottenbelt enter into a legally enforceable cohabitation agreement to protect her family’s significant contribution and a promise that she was to have an interest in the property, then the outcome of the hearing in my view is likely to have been very different. | 2019-04-26T04:09:41 | https://www.cripps.co.uk/family-law/when-labours-of-love-just-dont-pay-off/ |
Fresh, clean water must be available at all times and is best given via a water bottle rather than a bowl which can be tipped over. Adding a Bottle Snug can help prevent water freezing in winter while keeping it cool and fresh in summer.
Rabbits are herbivores and, in the wild, would consume large quantities of fibrous plant material which is essential for maintaining an healthy digestive system.
Long, fresh meadow hay with herbs is the most important part of the diet and essential for helping to keep molar teeth in trim, helping to prevent dental spurs forming while the high fibre also helps to keep the digestive system in top condition. The hay sold in plastic bags in pet shops is usually of poor quality and stale so we recommend buying from a local farm or specialist. Ideally, you should aim to feed your bunny a pile of hay equivalent to his/her body size each day.
For small/standard breed bunnies, a good quality rabbit mix of flaked peas, nibbles, cereals and grains such as 'Russel Rabbit', or a composite feed of 'Burgess Supa Rabbit Excel' or ‘Supreme Science Selective’ pellets, should be available in heavy bowl to prevent your bunny tossing it around.
Larger and giant breeds require a different diet to small-breed rabbits. This should be higher in protein otherwise they are likely to become ragged looking, lose condition and fail to reach full adult size. We feed our French Lops and Giants on Allen & Page Breeder & Grower pellets, Dodson & Horrell Rabbit Pellets + or Heygates pellets due to their higher protein content required by large breeds.
These pellets are suitable for feeding from weaning through to adulthood, and to the pregnant doe. Made from natural, wholesome ingredients including grass,linseed and oat fibre these pellets are completely balanced, with all the vitamins and minerals your rabbit needs. Pellets should be fed with plenty of hay and constant access to clean fresh water. Protexin is included to assist gut health and boost the immune system, by ensuring a healthy balance of micro-organisms in the rabbit's digestive system.
A 3mm pellet suitable for large breed and growing rabbits.
Heygates rabbit pellets are manufactured from quality raw materials with locally produced cereals fortified with proteins, minerals and vitamins to satisfy all your rabbit's nutritional requirements.
Pet pellets are suitable for large-breed rabbits, growing rabbits and other small mammals. A vitamin C supplement should be offered if feeding to Guinea Pigs.
A newer version of the above Pet Pellets suitable for feeding to large breed rabbits, growing rabbits and, despite the name, guinea-pigs(!).
The above pellets are packaged as animal feed, available from feed centres, packed in 20kg bags and are VAT exempt making them an extremely good value product. These can also be fed to small/medium sized breeds with a good supply of long fresh meadow hay, but if excess caecotrophs are produced, this can be a sign of excess protein in the diet so reduce the quantity fed. Remember, fresh hay should always be the main part of the diet!
The above are packed as pet foods sold via retail outlets. They tend to be more expensive and are also subject to VAT making them around 2-3x the price of Allen & Page and Heygates products.
Mixes can allow rabbits to be selective in the bits they eat and leave. Many rabbits prefer the flaked peas and coloured crunchy nibbles in preference to pellets - if the vitamin and minerals are added to the pellets, then rejecting these will not provide your rabbit with a fully balanced diet. Therefore, it is advisable to feed your rabbit once their bowl is empty (or soiled) to ensure your rabbit has a balanced diet. If your rabbit selectively feeds then it is advisable to feed a pellet.
Rabbits also enjoy clean fresh vegetables (which must be introduced very gradually for young rabbits - see below) such as carrots, carrot tops, cabbage, and occasional tomatoes and apples. Potatoes and most types of lettuce, especially iceberg, should not be offered. | 2019-04-21T04:50:02 | http://www.rossrabbits.co.uk/feeding.html |

This is another in a series of summer tops I’ve been sewing. The fabric is a gorgeous rayon from the Spotlight $2/m clearance table. I usually don’t wear much black, but the gem-like colours in the pattern were too entrancing to resist.

You can’t go very long living with a chronic illness without hearing the word “deconditioning” whispered in your ear: by doctors, physios, and society at large. “You MUST exercise,” they say, “or your muscles will waste away to nothing. Don’t you want to get better?” However, as important a role exercise plays in chronic illness management – and I do not deny it has a role to play – I believe that an overemphasis on exercise and deconditioning can be a distraction from seeking real treatment and places the onus of illness squarely on the patient.
You may remember I sewed my friend’s daughters special dresses for their Christmas presents in 2016. The pattern was the Square Neck Smock/Dress from Sew Sweet: Handmade Clothes for Girls, sewn up in a lucky fabric find from the op shop – Michael Miller’s Children at Play Parade.
Luckily for you (and me!), their dad is an ace photographer, and took some beautiful photos of Freya and Eliza wearing their dresses at the Port Fairy beach.

Well, we can’t blame UFC champion Jon Jones or sport-killer Greg Jackson this time.
In a move that was both unthinkable and unexpected by the MMA world a matter of weeks ago, UFC 176 has been cancelled as a result of a neck and spine injury to headliner Jose Aldo. It’s alarming to think that the world’s #1 MMA promotion has had to cancel two events in two years, but that’s probably what happens when you build a whole event around someone who practically lives with the Injury Bug.
What’s doubly sad is that the event was pretty solid on-paper, with lots of top-ranked fighters to boot.
Oh, Bethe Correia vs. Shayna Baszler. I’ll miss you the most.
Now, the rest of the MMA world is left to pick up the pieces as the UFC soldiers on to their next event, UFC Fight Night 45, which takes place in roughly a week’s time on a rare Wednesday night. Let’s all just hope an asteroid doesn’t hit the stadium or Donald Cerrone doesn’t get trapped in a well. Perhaps this break will be a good excuse to do something else, go outside, and live life a little.
But first, let’s decide whom we’re going to blame for this mess.
“Not worried about pay-per-view buys anymore,” huh?
At this point, it’s pretty hard to know what UFC president Dana White is thinking, since he actually said this during the UFC 175 scrum with total seriousness. He had to know that UFC 176 was bound to be cancelled by this time, and while the fallout probably isn’t as expensive as UFC 151, it’s definitely not going to help if MMA fans don’t know whether they should buy tickets.
Maybe Dana can be blamed for not caring about a “minor” PPV like UFC 176, but it’s probably more accurate to blame the UFC by proxy for their rampant oversaturation.
Jesus, Aldo, would it kill you to stay healthy?
Correct us if we’re wrong, but even with fighter insurance, Nova Uniao might be costing you more in missed fights than anything else. And we’ve seen how you guys train, thanks to YouTube. Stop grappling in sweaty basements and piling 50 guys into a room.
Hell, maybe find a new camp. Complaining about fighter pay doesn’t help if you can’t show up to collect a check.
God, I hate you, Injury Bug.
If you do anything to the UFC’s upcoming Mexico card, you’re the real sport-killer.
Out of the UFC’s nine champions, it’s never been unusual for at least half of them to be out of action or injured, let alone any number of “Top 15″ contenders. That’s why you stack UFC events in the first place. Given that Aldo isn’t much of draw anyway, there should’ve been at least one more champion available. But what makes this way worse? Title holders sitting out to coach The Ultimate Fighter.
It’s hard enough to set up title fights that they shouldn’t be on hold for this damn show anymore.
Moreover, TUF 20 makes it twice as bad, with both the inaugural UFC Women’s Strawweight Championship and the UFC Lightweight Championship hanging on the same season. That’s f–king stupid. No one cares about Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez that much. Pettis barely even fights that much, anyway. There’s no drama or intrigue here from the coaches, so why are they even there?
You could’ve done this season with so many other people, to boot.
Why not Nate Diaz and Josh Thompson? Or how about Luke Rockhold and (ugh) Vitor Belfort? Both of those rivalries would be hilarious for tons of reasons, not to mention making for far better reality television antics.
“That guy” in the UFC production truck is an idiot. Poor Rousey. We know you would’ve done UFC 176 if you could.
No one blames you at all. | 2019-04-21T18:39:52 | http://mmaowl.com/2014/07/ufc-176-cancelled-dana-white-jose-aldo-ronda-rousey-tuf-19/ |
People want answers, we all do. Especially when it comes to big life changes, we understand, this is deep stuff. We like to feel the certainty that comes when there’s a well laid out plan preferably with a timeline and an Excel spreadsheet. So when the plan is formless like ours, chaos ensues, and we get all types of reactions.
Some people tend to ask many, MANY questions, understandably their puzzlement increases as we are unable to provide clear answers. So, are you just going to leave everything? But why? You have a lovely house and good jobs... And what are you going to do? So you don’t have a plan? BIG eyes.
Other people beam with excitement and it would actually be possible to design emojis with their facial expressions and gestures. Oh my God! That’s amazing! How inspiring! What an adventure! So exciting... You must write a blog! Yes... we are!
And then, the sombre come crashing down, like a bulldozer. Well, you’re no spring chicken... You’re getting old and will need a lot of money to have a good retirement, and time passes very quickly you know... Do you really know what you’re doing? You might be making a mistake... We see a degree of reality in this but it’s already difficult enough for us to deal with our own fears, so we tend to swiftly change topic to something lighter: Did you know that if you lift a kangaroo’s tail it can’t hop? Puzzlement.
Thankfully, the inspirational bunch provides some free therapy to counteract the sombre effect; these are the people that give you a big, long hug and say lovely things like You’re doing a wonderful thing or That’s really great, you don’t just settle for a life that’s not good enough or What a breath of fresh air or You’re very responsible, you know, being true to yourselves. We go home skipping away.
Some people really freeze. We can see the panic in their faces as they try to picture themselves in our situation. It’s contagious, like yawning, so we freeze too, it's like Medusa looking at herself in the mirror. They stare into the emptiness looking through us as if we’re hiding a key piece of information they’re missing. We look at each other petrified. Conversation doesn’t flow.
And then without any warning, the random unpredictable reactions. We love them, such beautiful display of imagination! You’re not going to join a cult and disappear forever, are you? Not easy to find an appropriate response.
Occasionally we meet people who live an alternative life without mortgages or traumatic commuting; this category is rare but they look well nourished and pretty happy so with a glimmer of hope we tune into whatever they have to say like I try not to live with certainty, it tends to let you down. True that.
All in all we love listening to everyone’s comments and we can’t get enough of their reactions, because we go through each and every one of those emotions ourselves, sometimes several at once and we have to do mental gymnastics to keep ourselves sane and stick to our beautiful and terrifying amorphous plans.
At the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is what our hearts have to say about all this. So, we open a bottle of wine and we ask ourselves the simple question: Is this what we really want to do? It doesn’t take long to get the answer: Hell Yeah! Bring it on baby!

Has anyone else had any problem with the front piece of the power boost grip, the piece that covers the original grip? With mine, when I use it he camera with either the 100-400mm lens or the 50-140mm lens, the weight of the lens forces the front piece of the battery grip to move away from the actual camera grip. In other words, if this small insignificant piece of plastic were to come away or fail, the the whole grip whilst using the camera would be affected, possibly leading the the camera being dropped. The front plastic part is quite easy to move now. I find this quite disconcerting, and just wondered if anyone else had had similar problems before sending the grip back.
Haven't experienced that myself but will see how things go in time. It makes sense that the piece you are referring to would be the weak link. I thought that the first time I looked at it.
Letting the 55-140 hang from my fingers, with all the weight on the upper "strut" and holding with my fingers causes a gap between booster and camera body and feels as if it is pulling away/beginning to bend.
That piece is molded plastic attached to the booster, not one solid piece.
Talking of the 55-140, I'm just now discovering the clunking and whirring noises that come from it (that's what I get for sitting down in a quiet room to get to know it better). After some searching online, it seems this is common for the lens. Not quite what I was expecting, but the results are great.
Yes, I have the 50-140/2.8 and it can be noisy with its humming and clunking. But it's not an issue for most. I have used it in a quiet church during ceremony but only I hear it because it is by my head when I engage the auto-focus and VR. People notice the shutter sound when taking pic's more than the humming and clunking it makes when being used. I find the shutter to be quite quiet compared to my old Nikon full frame kit. And the shutter sounds are normal for a photographer working through a wedding ceremony, so no one gives it a second glance.
LOL ... I'm more concerned of the floor creaking (commonly does when it is very quiet in a church) when I walk around than my gear making noise.
That's reassuring, Adam - thank you.
I just got my x-t2 I thought I could charge the in body battery through the grip but it didn't charge?!?!
You can charge the batteries in the grip via the supplied charger.
The battery in the BODY can be charged via the camera USB port.
That is independent of one another.
While using the grip on my X-T2, do I have to insert 2 batteries in the grip ? Can it be one ? or None ?
Not that important, just wondering. Grip is fairly large and heavy when 2 batteries are in there.
The camera works fine with one battery in the grip or no batteries in the grip. The LCD shows how many batteries are available and their positions. | 2019-04-23T00:04:54 | https://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/3939-battery-grip-problems/ |

Will Apple Finally Part Ways With Samsung?
According to an HSBC report, Apple is finally moving on from its biggest competitor in a way that would benefit Taiwan Semiconductor.
It's always been a strange relationship between Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung (NASDAQOTH:SSNLF). On one hand, these two companies compete among high-level devices including tablets and smartphones. However, Apple depends upon Samsung as a supplier to fabricate the heart of its devices -- Cupertino's signature A-line series of chips. In a recent HSBC research note, analysts Steven Pelayo and Lionel Lin estimate that Samsung produces 60%-70% of Apple's current-gen A9 chip.
More recently, however, Apple has been looking to divest itself from Samsung's clutches. Starting with the A8 chip, Apple decided to use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSM) as the lead fab. Later iPhone teardowns found Samsung providing up to 40% of fabrication. In the current A9 chip, this dual-sourcing strategy continued.
But that's not the biggest news from HSBC's report: It appears Apple has finally decided it's time to make the jump to Taiwan Semiconductor as its only source of fabrication for its next-gen A10 chip. If true, this could be a big win for TSMC at the expense of Samsung's future revenue and profit drivers.
For Samsung, this would serve as both a tangible loss and a symbolic one. As for the former, in its third-quarter earnings report, Samsung reported its first year-on-year operating profit increase in the past seven quarters. The reason for this reversal was not the company's smartphone line, but rather its semiconductor business, which increased a massive 62% over last year's result, contributing nearly 50% to Samsung's total operating profit.
Going forward, Samsung specifically noted 14-nanometer foundry growth, in reference to the fabrication node it manufactures Apple's A9 chip on, as a source of future earnings improvement. And while Apple should still contribute to Samsung's operating profit in the short term, this would hurt Samsung's year-on-year comparisons when this revenue and profit no longer show up on Samsung's income statement.
In addition, the symbolic blow could affect Samsung's 14-nm business. Earlier reports were that iPhones equipped with Samsung's A9 chip were prone to overheating with noticeably worse battery life. And while Apple later rebutted the reports, stating that the battery-life variance was only 2%-3%, moving away from Samsung amid quality reports has the potential to scare other smartphone makers away from Samsung, much as the company itself did to Qualcomm after reports that its previous-gen Snapdragon 810 flagship chip was prone to overheating.
Whether it's Apple's desire not to depend upon its main competitor, poor performance from Samsung-fabbed A9 chips, or seeming superior next-gen technology (see below), this would be a huge win for TSMC. Right now, Apple contributes more than 14% to TSMC's top line, with forecasts that the company will contribute $3.7 billion in the nearly completed fiscal 2015 versus companywide revenue estimates of $26.24 billion.
According to the report, TSMC is working with Apple to introduce integrated fan-out packaging, a breakthrough that will lead to thinner and lighter chips. As a result of this new technology, and it reportedly winning the full production, forecasts are that TSMC will increase its Apple-related revenue next year 24% to $4.6 billion. If so, this is a big win for TSMC at the expense of Samsung. | 2019-04-23T14:04:22 | https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/12/03/will-apple-finally-part-ways-with-samsung.aspx |
Patients with peripheral neuropathy often present to dermatologists, where they are evaluated to rule out Hansen's disease and then referred to physician. Here, we report a case who presented with sensory loss and paresthesia over legs but was later found to be suffering from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) neuropathy.
A 46-year-old male patient presented to the dermatology outpatient department with 1-year history of sensory loss and paresthesia over bilateral lower legs. He was admitted and evaluated for Hansen's disease. On examination, there was no cutaneous lesion suggestive of leprosy. Peripheral nerve trunks were not thickened. Sensory loss to touch, pain, and temperature was present over the distal part of legs and feet bilaterally. Ankle jerk was diminished bilaterally. No trophic ulcer was present. Higher mental function and cranial nerve examination were within normal limits. There was no sign of meningeal irritation. Motor examination did not reveal weakness in any major muscle groups. Slit skin smear taken from earlobes did not demonstrate any acid-fast bacilli. A skin biopsy was taken from hypoesthetic skin of the right leg and sent for histopathology. Initial investigations including complete blood count, liver and renal function tests, fasting plasma glucose, and urine examination did not reveal any abnormality. In such a clinical scenario, the possibility of Hansen's disease was remote, and therefore, a neurologist's opinion was sought. The patient was then advised to go for HIV serology and to our surprise found to be reactive for HIV-1 with CD4 count of 160 cells/mm 3. On retrospective questioning, the patient gave a history of on-and-off fever, fatigue, weight loss, and recurrent pyodermas. He also had multiple high-risk sexual exposures several years back. He was diagnosed as a case of HIV neuropathy-distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP) type and started on antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Neurological manifestations are common in patients with HIV-AIDS. Of these, peripheral neuropathy is the most common one, owing to the efficacy of ART, which resulted in a decline in Central Nervous System opportunistic infections and HIV dementia., Peripheral neuropathy in HIV-AIDS can result due to direct neurotoxicity of HIV, other associated viral infections such as Cytomegalovirus, and as an adverse effect of certain antiretroviral drugs (stavudine, didanosine, and zalcitabine).
HIV-associated peripheral neuropathy presents in six major forms [Table 1]. Of these, DSP is the most common form and has been estimated to affect as many as 50% of all individuals infected with HIV.,, It is a predominantly distal, symmetric, and sensory neuropathy clinically characterized by decreased sensation in the distal extremities along with paresthesias, dysesthesias, and pain in a symmetric stocking-glove distribution. Clinical signs include diminished or absent ankle jerks and decreased pinprick and vibration sensation involving the distal lower extremities. Weakness and muscle atrophy are rare. These manifestations are generally static or slowly progressive over time, but in advanced cases, more proximal areas and upper extremities can also be involved.
Our patient too presented with sensory symptoms suggestive of small fiber neuropathy. However, the absence of characteristic skin lesions and nerve thickening made leprosy an unlikely possibility. Further, preservation of deep tendon reflexes in lepromatous leprosy is a useful sign, which helps to differentiate leprosy from other causes of neuropathy. This patient had diminished ankle jerk, which also pointed against leprosy. Certain useful clues such as fever and weight loss, too, were missed initially. Therefore, this case is being reported to draw the attention of dermatologists toward HIV as a cause of sensory neuropathy.
In the present era of HIV-AIDS, one must always keep HIV neuropathy as a potential differential diagnosis while dealing with any case of peripheral neuropathy. Dermatologists should especially focus on HIV as a cause of neuropathy, apart from leprosy, as they are more likely to deal with patients suffering from sexually transmitted diseases including HIV.

Now, America Votes. The question that remains is who wins and who loses. The problem with that statement is that there is a genuine unknown factor in election 2016. If Trump wins, there is little doubt that Clinton will concede. If Clinton wins, will Trump admit that he lost?
Observers note that Trump has not won contests of various sorts before throughout his career. He has gone bankrupt and has had failed business ventures, but he has not lost. Throughout this campaign, Trump has never acted with grace. He never showed any dignity or decency towards his opponents; Hillary in the general election and earlier even towards his Republican opponents. This gives serious pause for many to seriously ponder what will be his response if he does not win. This could certainly be true if the final votes are close but he might also respond unconventionally if he loses big. Challenges and law suits may just be the tip of the iceberg as Trump could end the campaign persisting to attack the system as fixed and rigged!
For Donald Trump’s followers—if he does not encourage them to accept the finality of the voting process—the election could just be the beginning of some type of citizen upraising; not exclusively a political movement. How it will manifest itself and what types of actions will occur in the streets, cities, and state capitals is indeed unknown. What is clear is that while some will despair and some will cry, many of the Trump army will want to continue the fight. What that means is not at all clear. In addition, no one knows how Trump himself will respond to their outcry. Will he walk away? Create a TV network of his own? Go back to business as usual; or will he lead them to the barricades?
Meanwhile, it is only a matter of hours. | 2019-04-18T19:32:11 | https://njjewishnews.timesofisrael.com/all-that-is-left-now-istomorrow/ |

Germany-based HF-Zerspanungstechnik has reduced machining and programming times by merging two CAM systems into one. In an increasingly competitive environment, the company can now make full use of its 5-axis machining capabilities. By Dr. Thomas Tosse.
What began in 1996 in Saaldorf, Germany, as an individual enterprise on a farm now presents itself as an efficient supply business. Since 2011 HF-Zerspanungstechnik has been occupying a 1300 m² light-filled hall and 300 m² of office space. Owner CAD/CAMFritz Huber has always invested in the right technology and conveys his own vigour and enthusiasm to the team spirit of the 14-member workforce. In a relaxed, performance-oriented atmosphere, the team works a two shift schedule on machines such as a DMU 50 and a DMU 125P from DMG MORI, and B300 and a Hermle C42U.
There are also various lathes, such as a Gildemeister CTX 410 V6 with driven tools, Y-axis and counter spindle, as well as a DMT Kern CD 480 and a Wenzel LH87 3D coordinate measuring machine. Huber procured all milling machines with the iTNC530 control from Heidenhain: "For me they were exemplary in quality and user-friendliness from the beginning." Equipped with an automatic switch-off function, the machines are also suitable for lights-out operation.
HF-Zerspanungstechnik accepts commissions from many different sources. For a long-term customer, for instance, HFZ supplies welding electrodes for welding foil from which blood or infusion bags are made. These high-precision tools need to be completely measured, recorded and assembled.
Part of the turnover is generated as a supplier to the motor-racing industry. With self-designed moulds for carbon fibre parts - such as structural components for monocoque racing cars and components and assemblies such as wishbones and lateral control arms for GT3 vehicles. HFZ works as a main supplier to various well-known companies. Other focal points are the parts for mechanical engineering and mould making where high demands are made on surface quality as well as the accuracy. In terms of materials processed, 80% are non-ferrous metals and the rest plastics or high-strength aluminium for the aircraft industry. | 2019-04-22T10:42:07 | https://www.etmm-online.com/cam-system-supports-5-axis-machining-strategies-a-464810/ |
Ace Online download is an action game based on science fiction, with a very unique PvP mode (up to 100 vs 100). It has a gameplay and wonderful graphics. In Ace Online, players can fly their space combat ships (Gears) on an imaginary planet and upgrade skills or Gear itself. These days, all massively multiplayer online games are very similar, but there are still few innovative minds that are thinking beyond that, and for that we want to praise MasangSoft who are the creators of this MMOTPS.
Players at the start will have the option to pilot one of four different Gears: The B Gear - which functions as a bomber, the I Gear - the Hit and Runner, the A Gear - working as a tank, and finally the M Gear - the only one capable of healing. It is necessary to aim at the targets manually, so you will need to make timely turns and quick descents to get your Gear to protect against enemy missiles. When you get higher levels, you can acquire good weapons and other pieces. So overall, the game is fun because of its speed, innovation and skills required.

The University of Waterloo received a huge “Google dividend” yesterday when David Cheriton, one of the search engine giant’s early investors, donated $25-million to the school’s well-respected computer science department. Mr. Cheriton estimates the return on his US$200,000 investment in Google at about 5,000%. CS School renamed to David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science. It’s really exicting to see and imagine all potential opportunities UW can do with this donation. As an UW/CS alumni, I thank you, Mr. Cheriton!

Praise can and should be a regular overflow of my life. It’s a decision, a choice to turn my thoughts outside of myself, my circumstances, my disappointments and to turn them to the Lord.
It’s in the praising that I find joy. It’s in thankfulness and reflection that my heart can be quieted. It’s in Christ that I can stand when the cares of life threaten to push me over.
Praise is to be ongoing. It’s not something that starts and stops because we feel like it. Praise is a sacrifice, an act that requires giving, concentration, deliberateness.
Just as I choose to not be anxious, to forgive those who have wronged me, to find my worth in God’s eyes, to run to Jesus as the One who can satisfy every longing of my heart–and do these over and over again–so must I offer my praise to God.
So today, may we make a deliberate decision to praise God and praise Him over and over again.
I was encouraged by my friend’s post yesterday about how God used one of the days of praise in her life. Go visit her blog and be blessed. | 2019-04-22T08:03:50 | http://laurenwasher.com/30-day-praise-challenge-week-3-a-continual-sacrifice/ |

So much attention has been paid to Barack Obama's stimulus package and to his borrow-and-spend budget, that his emerging foreign policy has been largely ignored. Not a good thing: the recession will end, and America will survive. But a foreign policy error can be fatal.
The most noticeable feature, at least according to the President's critics, is his failure to respond to provocation - to the testing that now-Vice-President Joe Biden correctly predicted would come early in the Obama reign. Iran put a satellite in orbit and developed enough uranium to fuel a nuclear bomb. Russia threatened to deploy weapons against the nations it formerly enslaved, and cut natural gas supplies to Europe.
Obama responded by offering to stop plans to deploy anti-missile systems in the Czech Republic and Poland in return for a bit of Russian help with Iran, and by having his vice-president tell the Munich Security Conference that "it is time to press the reset button" and end "the dangerous drift in relations between Russia" and Nato countries. Hardly robust responses to provocations.
But perhaps designed to show our allies that a kinder, softer America is in their future if they do more to share the burden of re-establishing a workable world order. Obama has specialised in studied ambiguity, to use a kind word, or in saying one thing and doing another, to use his critics' preferred formulation.
What Biden called "the new tone" of American policy includes a refusal to torture (but see footnote for authorised exceptions to deviate from Geneva Convention rules), a promise to close Guantánamo Bay (when homes can be found for detainees), and a commitment to draw down our forces in Iraq (but not right away, and leaving 50,000 troops there, to the consternation of Obama's Left).
In short, it is no easy task to predict which way the President will move as the world's problems beat their way to the White House door, as Gordon Brown will no doubt find in Washington this week. But some things are clear.
One is the extraordinarily important role Obama ascribes to Asia. He has assigned Richard Holbrooke to be special envoy to the region's trouble spots in Pakistan and Afghanistan, presumably reporting to secretary of state Hillary Clinton - "presumably", because Holbrooke, a former ambassador to the UN, is known to lust after Clinton's job and is the sort who will not hesitate to go over her head to the President when he deems it necessary.
Then there are Japan and India, nations that George W. Bush successfully wooed and who now stand as stalwart counterforces to an expansionist-minded China. Their continued goodwill is high on the Obama list of priorities.
Even more important is China. The President knows that the US Treasury will be selling increasing amounts of notes and bonds to fund deficits that will be in the trillions for the next few years, and then into the mere hundreds of billions for as far ahead as the eye can see.
So far, China has decided it must buy these IOUs, lest the value of those it already holds declines, and lest the dollar weakens to a point where Chinese goods are so expensive in America that imports from China decline even more sharply. In return, Clinton declined to make much of an issue of the Chinese regime's human rights violations when she visited that country, and Pentagon officials reacted with enthusiasm to China's decision to reopen high-level meetings on military issues.
Of necessity, Obama will have to respond to international pressure on him to defuse the Arab-Israeli dispute. There is still talk of a two-state solution, but no one in the administration really believes that that can be achieved, so long as the Palestinians remain divided between the Hamas and Fatah factions. Here, American and European views are certain to conflict, as the Europeans require ever more concessions from Israel in an effort to cater to the demands of their increasing Muslim populations, and special envoy George Mitchell, reunited with Tony Blair in a new peace-finding mission, seeks a more balanced solution.
This attention to Asian affairs does not necessarily mean that Britain and Europe will be ignored. Co-operation on global warming is likely, although the failure of Germany, Spain, Italy, Denmark and other countries to meet their Kyoto targets - not to mention Japan - suggests that some scaling down of ambitions is called for.
The litmus test so far as Obama is concerned is Afghanistan. Europeans who always disliked George Bush's "you are either with us or against us" attitude might just find that when it comes to Afghanistan that is exactly what Obama thinks.
The underlying reality of all of this can be read in the numbers cascading across the pages of Obama's budget. Soft power is cheap, hard power is expensive. The President is proposing not only to turn down his security advisers' request that he replace the presidential helicopter fleet with craft less vulnerable to missile attacks, at a cost of $11 billion, but to cut out expensive weapons systems.
His budget reduces military spending to three per cent of GDP, the level it was at the time of the September 11 attacks, before we became aware of the threat posed by radical Islamists. The Taliban, North Koreans, Iranians, Russians and assorted bad guys must find it comforting that Obama plans to speak softly, but do without Teddy Roosevelt's big stick.
Abdul Samad Minty and Yukiya Amano are the front-runners to take over the International Atomic Energy Agency when Mohamed ElBaradei's term ends. The two officials could not be more different. | 2019-04-25T05:50:42 | http://www.luxembourgforum.org/en/press/press/barack-obama-speaking-softly-but-without-the-big-s/ |

1. How are racial equity targets being met through the RFP awards?
• Increase the rate at which American Indian/Alaskan Native households exit to permanent housing to a rate that is comparable to other races.
• Increase the rate at which Black/African American households maintain permanent housing through a homelessness prevention project, or are diverted from homelessness.
RFP award decisions are keenly focused on moving people into permanent housing to end their state of homelessness and address African American and Native American/Alaskan Native population who disproportionately experience homelessness. Organizations that demonstrated the ability to execute programs that aid in the prevention of homelessness and the number of individuals and families that exit to permanent housing for the American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American community have been awarded funding to meet RFP racial equity targets.
2. How many total proposals were there?
HSD received a total of 181 proposals from 57 agencies for the 2018 Homeless Investments request for Proposals (RFP).
3. What was the total dollar amount for submitted proposals?
A total of $105,708,860 dollars was requested from the 181 proposals submitted.
4. How many organizations are receiving first time funding? What is the total dollar amount for all of them? Can you provide specifics on each organization and why they recieved funding?
Four organizations are receiving first time funding, totaling $4,275,556.
o Seattle Indian Health Board: The Seattle Indian Health Board (SIHB), Chief Seattle (CSC), and Mother Nation are forming a 3-agency partnership to address and prevent homelessness for Native people. SIHB was selected as the lead applicant agency for the HSD grant applications due to their organizational capacity and experience administering government grants including federal, state, county and city. SIHB is well-positioned to implement and manage the AI/AN homelessness continuum with 165 FTE and an annual agency budget of $17 million. Seattle Indian Health Board features an epidemiology research center on its campus-providing access to data relating to American Indian and Alaska Native communities. SIHB health providers have a unique advantage to better coordinate and direct care for patients, by accessing regular updates on epidemiological trends. SIHB has been awarded funding to provide homeless prevention, diversion, outreach, emergency services, and rapid re-housing services.
o Somali Youth and Family Club: Somali Youth and Family Club serves families and individuals experiencing homelessness through a customized support service model to make homelessness rare and brief. SYFC serves many refugee families and individuals who have experienced trauma--- growing up in war torn countries, losing family members through violence, starvation, malnutrition, dehydration---in addition to homelessness. Nearly all families and individuals served further experience the re-traumatization of experiencing poverty in the U.S. due to barriers including: language, not knowing their place in their new home society, transportation, lack of skills to be self-sufficient. These combined can lead to the inevitable--- becoming homeless after 3 months of one's arrival to the U.S. SYFC uses evidenced based practices to provide culturally relevant and individualized services. They have been awarded funding t9o provide homeless prevention and rapid re-housing services.
o United Indians of All Tribes: First-hand knowledge of racial disparities as it relates to American Indian and Alaska Native people, equips United Indians of All Tribes to address inequities in homelessness, unemployment, and school dropout rates by providing high-quality, effective, culturally appropriate services to underserved communities. United Indians of All Tribes engage program constituents and the broader community in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of all programs, and relies on data-driven, evidence-based models for all programs that undergo continuous quality improvement processes. United Indians of All Tribes strengths include well-researched and well-informed commitment to services for the urban Indian community, which has experienced extreme inequity in service access, provision, and quality. They also maintain partnerships with several social service agencies that serve a broad spectrum of underserved people. They have been awarded funding to provide homeless prevention and transitional housing services.
o New Horizons: New Horizons uses a person-centered approach to provide services that are tailored to each participant's needs and goals. The person-centered design allows for the flexibility of services that are tailored to meet individual needs, and responsive to cultural differences. New Horizons uses progressive engagement to help young adults move from low-barrier shelters and drop in services to employment and permanent housing. New Horizons partners with organizations throughout the homeless youth continuum of care to ensure that participants have access to all services they need to reach their potential. New Horizons is a hub for food, clothing, job training, housing, medical care, mental health services, enrichment activities, and recreation. They have been awarded funding to provide diversion, outreach and emergency services.
c. Outreach and Engagement: $2,988,157.
g. Permanent Supportive Housing: $4,020,965.
6. What is the appeals process?
• A matter of bias, discrimination, or conflict of interest.
• Violation of policies or failure to adhere to guidelines or published criteria and/or procedures established in a funding opportunity.
o Signed by the Agency's Executive Director or similar level agency management staff.
The applicant will receive a receipt from the HSD Director's Office notifying the applicant of the date, time, and method by which the appeal was received. If the applicant does not receive a receipt within two business days, it should be assumed that HSD did not receive the appeal and it will therefore not be considered.
The HSD Director will review the written appeal and may request additional oral or written information from the appellant organization. A written decision by the HSD Director will be made within five (5) business days of the receipt of the appeal. The HSD Director's decision is final.
7. How were award allocations determined? This RFP used seven project-specific rating committees comprised of nearly 40 people to review applications. Recommendations are based on narrative and performance data application scores, feedback from applicant interviews, population and geographic considerations, number of households intended to be moved into permanent housing and racial equity goals. Rating committees were asked to forward more projects for funding than actual funds are available, using a maximum funding amount in each project area. Through this process, each rating committee created a list of projects recommended for full, partial, or no funding. Rating committees then used a tiered system to determine projects for priority funding and projects which could be funded based on available funds.
8. When does funding begin?
The contract period will begin on January 1, 2018.
9. What are the next steps for organizations now that awards are announced?
Agencies will connect with their assigned HSD Grants and Contracts Specialist staff member to begin the execution of their services contract.
10. How many shelter beds will be in the city as a result of the RFP?
There will be a total of 1,464 shelter beds. 1,244 are enhanced shelter beds that provide services and 220 beds provide basic overnight shelter. 854 beds in 2018 provide 24-hour shelter. This includes beds at the Navigation Center and Compass at First Presbyterian, which were funded outside of the RFP. This is an increase of 561 beds providing 24-hour shelter from 2017. In 2017, HSD funded 1,713 shelter beds. 964 beds provided only basic shelter and 749 provided enhanced support.
11. Will the shelter beds be in enhanced shelter models? If so, how many new "enhanced model" shelters?
The City anticipates the number of shelter beds in the 24/7 and/or enhanced shelter models will increase from 293 to 854. Of the 1204 total beds, 516 will be provided in 24/7 enhanced model shelters.
12. How many programs did not meet the performance measures at all when we looked to evaluate them (using Jan-June 2017 data)?
Two programs did not meet performance standards. Those projects were evaluated by the rating panels but did not receive any points for their performance score.
13. Are there any outstanding examples of joint applications or agencies collaborating?
Seattle Indian Health Board, Chief Seattle Club and Mother Nation developed collaborative proposals in many project areas. Their applications demonstrated a beneficial partnership for each of the agencies and developed a continuum of services to best meet the needs of Native persons experiencing homelessness. This addresses one of the primary goals of the RFP: to address racial disparities in American Indian/ Alaska Native populations.
14. What areas are receiving the largest allocation of funding?
Emergency Services and Rapid Re-Housing are receiving the largest allocation of funding. Emergency Services will receive $16.1 million and Rapid Re-Housing will receive $4.3 million.
15. What areas are receiving the greatest increase from last year's allocation?
Diversion services and Rapid Re-Housing are receiving the greatest increase from the 2017 investment. Funding for Diversion services has increased from $31,492 to $1,993,300. Funding for Rapid Re-Housing has increased from $1,127,030 to $4,317,758.
16. As the City tries to improve the response system performance, are there still gaps that exist that are not funded through these awards?
Movement into permanent housing is a main priority for this RFP to end homelessness. The largest gap in our system will be permanent affordable housing. Some forms of permanent housing will be funded through this RFP, however other forms will not. More affordable housing overall is necessary to more effectively address homelessness in Seattle.
17. How many families are we going to serve in 2018?
Today, Seattle has 8,476 people experiencing homelessness (3,857 unsheltered). In the accepted proposals, providers outlined their strategies to move more than 7,000 people experiencing homelessness into permanent housing in 2018 compared to 3,026 (projected) in 2017. This includes 739 families and 1,094 youth and young adults.
18. What is outreach going to look like in 2018? Will it be very different from 2017?
Outreach will be spread among more agencies with connections to populations experiencing the greatest disparities. HSD will work with agencies to ensure collaboration between outreach efforts and consistency in standards of practice. | 2019-04-24T04:08:55 | http://www.seattle.gov/homeless-investments-rfp/rfp-awards-faq |
You might be wondering: Is your organization getting enough out of its CRM system?
Upgrading without issue, unfortunately, is oftentimes not the case. Unsupported customizations like direct SQL queries and deprecated interaction with Web Services need updating, without question, but that just gets you to Square One in Dynamics 365 Online.
Once you have stepped foot in the Microsoft Cloud, however, there’s no going back. When Dynamics CRM On-Premise to D365, not only do you have access to new features in the D365 application so you can improve or create new processes that make sense for your organization, but you have much, much more access to all the different tools provided by the native integration with Microsoft Azure and Office 365.
As a Microsoft Gold Partner and CSP, FMT Consultants can provide valuable insight into how your organization can optimize efficiency in the cloud.
If you have any version of CRM On-Premise, deploying to D365 always requires migrating data. CRM 4.0 came out more than ten years ago. Let me repeat that—CRM 4.0 came out ten years ago. That means you may have 10 years’ worth of activities and customer info that can be shrunk down, cleaned up, and transformed for your D365 Environment. This migration of data needs to be done without interruption to your daily operations if CRM is currently live.
FMT Consultants can help you navigate and execute this data transfer from your old CRM to D365 Online seamlessly.
Since FMT Consultants has a thriving GP and NetSuite Practice, a common requirement that our organization needs to solve for is the Account and Customer integration.
CRM oftentimes is the system of record for Customers. Account Information is captured and maintained in the CRM system and it needs to flow over to the ERP system where it is readable but not editable. This way, the ERP users only have to worry about creating sales order transactions in the ERP system. Traditionally, in an on premise environment, as sales order transactions are fulfilled, they flow back into the CRM system as records so that there is bi-directional integration and visibility in both systems. As your organization grows, however, this constant back and forth exchange of information can increase exponentially. While the answer in on premise might just be to improve the speed of bulk operations, since you definitely can do that, there is an opportunity to consider a new approach. In the Microsoft Cloud, you have new options… from Power BI Dashboards to custom controls where, since you are in the web, web services can be called to return data on demand using a display only interface rather than storing the data in your CRM. In this way, your CRM users can “see” what’s happening with the customer, but you’re not bursting the seams by duplicating large data sets.
FMT Consultants can help you clearly determine and define the implementation of your integrations.

Adelaide, Australia, 15 December 2016 – Ellex Medical Lasers Limited (ASX: ELX), a global leader in medical devices for the diagnosis and treatment of eye disease, today announced that clinical training of physicians in China in the use of the Ellex iTrack™ minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) device has commenced. The Ellex iTrack™ is the only MIGS device in the world currently approved by the Chinese medical device regulatory authority for sale in China.
This is the first program of clinical training of physicians in the ab interno canaloplasty (ABiC) technique. This program is being conducted at leading hospitals and teaching institutions in Shanghai and Beijing during 12-17 December 2016.
“To date, sales in China have been limited because only the more complex ab externo canaloplasty surgery technique has been marketed. Like it has in the USA, our program in China to relaunch Ellex iTrack for the simpler, faster ABiC technique is expected to be well received,” commented Mr. Spurling.
The clinical training program follows the presentation of Ellex iTrack™ at the inaugural International MIGS Symposium held in Changsha, China, on 11 November 2016. Chaired by Dr. Ningli Wang, MD, PhD, President of the Chinese Glaucoma Society, and featuring the Beijing Tongren Eye Center MIGS Study Group, the conference was attended by 150 of the country’s preeminent ophthalmologists. The symposium was broadcast to a further 28,000 Chinese ophthalmologists via a number of media platforms. Ellex iTrack™ figured very prominently at the conference.
According to Mr. Spurling, the Company’s involvement in the International MIGS Symposium offered an important opportunity to capitalise on its first mover advantage in the Chinese market.
“This symposium was the perfect platform to kick start our re-launch activities in China. As a result of the initiatives undertaken to date, Ellex iTrack is now synonymous with MIGS in China. We look forward to working closely with Dr Wang in order to build on this momentum, and to develop the overall market for MIGS in China,” added Mr Spurling. | 2019-04-25T22:27:04 | https://global.ellex.com/de/asx_releases/ellex-itrack-commencement-clinical-training-china/ |

This game live on Kickstarter now! I was lucky enough to snag a demo copy from the folks at Jellybean Games, and I absolutely LOVE it! My wife and I can’t get enough of it. She’s even mentioned strategy over breakfast (which is very unlike her) and when waiting for a meal out to dinner, she exclaimed we should have brought it along (also very unlike her)!
Everything is perfect…except for those HORRIBLE OTHER VILLAGES! Ugh, you hate them so much!
But you’ve got a plan to rise above these petty squabbles. You’re going to become a KINGDOM.
In Village Pillage, you’re racing your neighbors to acquire 3 relics and prove your right to rule. Each turn, everybody simultaneously plays cards against both their neighbors. It’s rock-paper-scissors meets the prisoner’s dilemma…with turnips!
If you think your opponents are planning to farm, raid them! If they’re planning an attack, man the walls! And if they’re putting up defenses: it’s farming time.
Each player begins the game with 4 cards. 1 of each of the main Villagers: The Army, the Wall, the Trader, and the Farmer!
Plus, there are many other Villagers you can hire down the road from the Market!
Next, each player will grab 2 Turnip tokens, a Vault card, and stare longingly at the 3 Relic tokens they will need to collect to win!
The play area for a 2-player game will look like this! Notice that 1 Turnip token is on your Vault card, and 1 is vulnerable out in your Stockpile. This is important because certain cards, like the Army, Steals Turnips… but she can’t make it into the Vault, and only steals from the Stockpile!
For your first turn in a 2-player game, you choose TWO Villagers. One will go up front, closer to your opponent, which will resolve first, and the second, which will resolve on the following turn, goes behind it. This element is different from the 3-6 player versions and definitely makes the strategy quite different!
In this example, player 1 (on the bottom) chose the Farmer as their first card, and player 2 (at the top) chose that dang Army! Double dangit!
Let’s take a closer look at these Villagers!
The suspicious ‘ol Farmer with her valuable chicken will earn you 3 Turnips when facing any type of Villager. Note the 4 icons in a column on the lower left of the card. These represent which Villagers her ability with trigger against.
The angry Army isn’t as versatile, and only works when faced with a Farmer or Trader, because they can only pick on people weaker than themselves (jerks)… but when they do face them, they STEAL 4 Turnips! Ouch!
Because of this, the first card to resolve is the Farmer. So, player 1 joyfully takes 3 Turnip tokens from the Supply and adds them to their Stockpile, next to their Vault.
Then player 2’s dang Army resolves and they Steal 4 Turnips from player 1’s poor, gentle, sweet, totally not an evil witch Farmer! How rude!
So, at the end of turn 1, player 1 is stuck with 1 Turnip and player 2 is sitting pretty at 6! Now we take our Villager that just resolved and place it back into our hand, then slide the facedown Villager we placed earlier, forward.
We then choose a new Villager from our hand (of 3) and place it behind the facedown card we just moved forward. This is where the strategy really kicks in. Whoever we chose turn one to resolve turn two was made not knowing who the opponent was going to use! Some well-laid plans can easily become unraveled! And some windfalls can happen as well. It’s quite exciting!
Oh man, it seems they both chose the Trader! Player 1 hadn’t been expecting that Army to Steal their Turnips!
But luckily, both of the Traders will resolve! Below you can see a close up of player 1’s situation on the left and player 2’s situation on the right.
Player 1 has 1 Turnip, while player 2 has 6 Turnips.
Notice that the Trader doesn’t have any icons on the bottom left of her card, which means her abilities always resolve… if they can be paid for, that is. Also, since both players played the same Villager type, in what order do they resolve? Well, for the purposes of the Trader, it’s the player with the least number of Turnips. A wise game design decision as it affords those who are behind a slight advantage in some cases.
But what does the Trader do? Well, the Trader’s abilities read left to right: Buy Relic / If Unable: Buy Card for 1 Turnip. As player 1 has less Turnips, they go first.
As you can see on the right side (in purple) of the Vault card, the cost of the first Relic is 6. Player 1 doesn’t have 6 Turnips, so, they cannot buy a Relic. Which means, they now buy 1 card from the Market for 1 Turnip.
Player 1 is still salty after being bullied by the Army round 1, so they decide to pick up an Outlaw, to hit player 2 where it hurts… the Turnip Stockpile!
The Market is immediately refilled from the top of the deck and the Outlaw is placed directly into player 1’s hand of cards. Player 1 takes their 1 Turnip and pays it to the Supply.
Then it’s player 2’s turn to resolve their Trader. As we saw earlier, step 1 is to Buy Relic. The Relic for player 2 will cost 6 Turnips, and they have 6 Turnips, so they must buy the Relic. If you can afford it, you cannot opt to buy a card from the Market instead!
A typical 2-player game takes about 10-15 minutes. If you get really thinky-thinky it could take 30 minutes, but that’d be a lot of thinky. This game is about action and excitement! And, if you lose, just shuffle up and play again! Fast, fun and addicting!

On a traditional preform feeder with rollers, preforms are lifted in an elevator column to heights between 5.5 to 6.5 metres before being sorted and transported by gravity on rollers to the blow-er. Operators are therefore tasked with carrying out production control, changeovers and maintenance at height - away from the relative safety of floor level. Given the risk involved, producers generally aim to limit this work at height, as they clearly need to minimise safety hazards for their workers.
The journey of the PET preforms starts in the hopper, where they are originally stored to supply the EasyFEED system. From there, they are lifted by an elevator column to a height of only 2.5 metres – the ground-level preform feeder being much lower than traditional systems. The pre-forms are then sorted and vertically driven into the bowl of a rotary unscrambler. They are posi-tioned at the edge of a rotating table and transferred by their necks along the path. Still in a vertical position and supported by the neck flange, the preforms are moved onto a rail by a fil-tered airflow. Instead of traditional gravimetric infeed rails, the preforms are driven by two mo-torised, food-grade brush belts (one on each side of the preform body) up to the infeed blowing wheel.
The unique EasyFEED is optimal for high output speeds from 30,000 to 82,000 bottles per hour but is essentially a truly flexible solution that fits a wide range of production specifications in terms of preform design range and layout. The solution can handle a wide number of stand-ard preforms. To adapt to the specifics of the customer’s production site, the innovative feeding system can be custom-fit for each producer into a clockwise or counter-clockwise layout, where infeed is at 90° or 45° to the oven axis.
With availability above 99%, this innovative preform feeder improves production efficiency. The changeovers are very fast - taking up to 15 minutes - involving minimal manual operations and setting points. Minimum maintenance and fewer skills are needed as no parts require the ap-plication of grease and only three main parts need routine replacement. The fast and efficient ramp-up after changeovers and maintenance leads to a noticeable decrease in downtime.
Soft preform handling is essential for the final bottle quality. With EasyFEED, the minimal path inside the preform feeder - up to 27% less than in traditional systems - a very low preform fall and a limited preform recycling loop, all help in limiting the possibility of damage to the pre-forms. All along their path from rotary unscrambler to infeed, preforms are fully protected from dust, ensuring fully hygienic production from the start of the line. The smooth contact of the motorised brushes upon the bodies of the preforms also contributes to increased preform integ-rity.
Although capable of supplying PET production lines with very high speeds, Sidel EasyFEED significantly reduces the footprint up to 62% and height up to 56% compared to traditional pre-form infeed systems. This compact design helps drive down total cost of ownership (TCO) and allows for an easy implementation in the workshop, irrespective of space constraints in the production halls.
Working at ground level has many other key benefits for producers. Without the use of plat-forms or elevated walkways, the risk of operator injury caused by falls naturally decreases. The quick and easy access of EasyFEED for production setting and control makes changeovers and maintenance operations much simpler. The high visibility along the entire path taken by the preforms, from hopper to blower, permits easier monitoring for the operator and rapid inter-vention should it become necessary, therefore reducing downtime and increasing efficiency. | 2019-04-24T18:20:49 | https://packagingeurope.com/sidels-preform-feeder-ensures-easy-and-safe-operations/ |
← Thanks Bloggers, I’ve Fallen and I Can’t Get Up!
How things looked was a top priority for the industry goals. It was fairly regularly preached that the need to look successful was imperative. The required image included job title, personal appearance, home, and contacts.
I remember one well-meaning colleague seriously imploring me to buy a car that was, at a minimum, the oldest model of a Mercedes that I could afford rather than a brand new Toyota. That was far more conducive to achieving that highly desired image. Pointing out the obvious differences in comfort levels for me netted a baleful stare of incredulous disbelief in my sanity. That was pretty much as deep as life was.
“When you die, what do you want people to say about you at the service”?
I sat back and sifted through all the tributes I could remember. The ones that I recalled most were those folks who were spoken about with great respect and even reverence for what they gave to the world, and the grace with which they lived. That’s how I wanted to be remembered too.
Then the next sentence simply said, “Now go make those words real”.
It gave me immediate focus. What I at least realized then, was that what I wanted to be became less important than what kind of person did I want to be. It was a general goal, but it offered seemingly thousands of possibilities. A huge weight of dejection was replaced with a huge light of hope.
It led me to know that I had finally found my soul, but I was in an industry that didn’t have one. I knew it would soon be time to move on. My questions of how were answered as my perception and approaches evolved. Many opportunities came my way as a result.
My eventual path started, and startled, with a variety of unexpected voluntary roles from ambulance attendant (never saw that coming), to board director for policing support. I got the chance to write for pay, and eventually, ran a fundraising foundation for a regional cancer research and treatment centre (worst job ever, but that’s another story).
The point is that it doesn’t matter where you start from, you only need to change how you see things. Look inward and around at what you have at hand. Be thankful for at least that much, then look for ways that it can be used to help someone or something else – especially at those times when you feel least able. I can only ask you to trust me on that, but it would be more useful for you to try it once or twice.
I’ve seen it start out in simple ways like the guy finally able to say the words, “I was wrong”, and another who started a food bank drive at the company she worked for.
I can see it being things like starting a business or charity to help whatever need in your heart, or a finance industry that encourages genuine savings by offering genuinely decent saving account interest rates. It’s never too late to change direction, after all, all it is, is changing your mind about what you need.
How do we want to be remembered? The advice was simple, on the face of it, but the results took me to wondrous places that I had no idea I wanted to be. It’s a bit scary for me to try to imagine now what my world might have been if I hadn’t had that magazine intervention.
One last word on this advice, a meaningful life isn’t perfect either – far from it. The only perfect expectation is embracing the knowledge that our best work is about giving the best we have at the moment.
So think about your end for a bit, and then go live up to your service. Works for me so far. Usually.
Written in reply to the WordPress weekly writing challenge: What’s the best, or worst, piece of advice you’ve ever gotten?

This is a great posting, O blog woman! It’s just what I needed to be said to ME. Keep it up. Fabulous, thanks.
Well, you’ve definitely made my day Bruce! Thank you so much for that.
Thanks so much for that. You know how much your thoughts mean to me. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Thank you. I hope you’ll share one or two of the thoughts that come up. Something tells me they’d be quite interesting. Cheers!
I agree that we do need people to run finance. What I wondered about it was/is, what is the point of the profits to the degree that they were made. At the time, what I watched was only the need to ever increase the size of income, homes, cars, and even the price of a suit. I don’t begrudge the desire for the finer things in life, quite the opposite, but I didn’t get the chance to see how all that money could be used in a way that could have made a difference to far more people than it actually touched.
It is brilliant. Kind of on the level of Picard’s, “Make it so”, which is a deceptively simple statement. | 2019-04-25T20:55:55 | https://blog-woman.com/2013/11/29/the-question-that-changed-my-entire-life/ |
What were you thinking in selling this Lora?
Blade can't remember much in his life due to the many concussions he has had. "I miss being a child," he laments. He's again drinking a Miller Lite while his itinerary is written on a cardboard cape.
RD apologizes to British listeners for thinking they don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Both November AND October.
Blade still has a Big Announcement. (:08) He begs people to join Patreon so that he can be drunk/hungover full time.
RD: "If every one of you listening to my voice donated just a couple dollars, we'd wind up with $24. I don't think that's enough."
Blade would eat his grandmother's salmonella laced turkey in his youth. That probably explains the concussions, among other things. (:14) The two wonder when the term Black Friday came into parlance. The ever accurate Wikipedia puts it first appearing in 1951, though its shopping connotations would first appear around a quarter century later.
Blade: "If it wasn't me, it wasn't me, you know? Put that on my tombstone."
RD: "'If it wasn't me, it wasn't me. Here lies Blade Braxton.'"
RD has always feared the day when he would not find any craziness to report, and is offended by Blade's suggestion to make something up if so. This was further exacerbated by going to a Walmart where everyone was worryingly polite, like something out of a modern horror movie. (:21) (He also advises not to use a cart, go in groups, and not vomit in the aisles like Blade once did.) So he went to Coles. There a woman fell on her head, and when he tried to help her up she apologized to him for the inconvenience. Thankfully (for RD and not the woman) in the electronics section an elderly lady was loudly lecturing some young women and by extension the whole store about bra sizes. When retelling Mrs. Deal about this he had to remind her that they were intimate, for some reason.
Someone Bought This: A random Mike Rotundo photograph. (:30) Blade: "I thought you wanted a bra." RD doesn't know what size he would be.
Blade: "I'm sure we both had a lower obsession with Sunny."
RD: "I did not have a poster of her on my bathroom wall."
RD has a lot of old stuff in his closet. Blade has some torn pants.
Mickie James and her husband have a contest where someone can win a holiday ticket to see their family. (:44) Blade thinks he can win for a 15 minute car ride. He offers a 20 minute car ride ticket to be won on his Instagram page with the term #hoboholidays. Or was it #hoboholiday? I don't think even he knows for sure. Too many concussions you see.
Anonymous Brooke is a second-time mother, and managed to bounce back into shape within two weeks. (:51) RD thinks Blade has illegitimate children, which he probably doesn't know about because of...you know.
Amher Ali asks a Question on Blade's (non-Instagram) Facebook post about the WCW-based viability of the evil architect Bill Ding (as created by Jim Cornette and portrayed by Disco Inferno). (:55) RD would have him fight The Wall, obviously. Blade struggles because of...you know...and suggests he could hide Hacksaw Jim Duggan's 2x4 in a house or something.
The Fruitcakes get to discussing past Survivor Serieses. RD fondly remembers the one he drove six hours (long) to, the Gobbledly Gooker, and Crazy Bob Backlund defeating Bret Hart. Blade remembers Demolition, Demolition, and Demolition.
RD has no idea why WWE is bringing Starrcade back, since last time it was such a success that this year it is an hour long house show in Cincinnati. (:75) RD remembers the one time the original PPV had a Skywalkers Match in '86, possibly live from Cloud City. Blade is fond of not just his mascot the Black Scorpion, but the whole '90 show he was main eventing. The two then remember the effectiveness of the Dungeon Of Doom's masks to conceal identity.
How long will Becky be out?
RD: "I don't think we're quitting our day jobs anytime soon." | 2019-04-23T04:44:39 | http://www.wrestlecrapradio.com/2018/11/278-survivestar-series-november-26-2018.html |
They started with letting the kids touch a sea star. Hazel was her normal timid self and shakily put a finger on it. But after her friends started to hold it, she wanted a turn. Then the sea urchin was pulled out. None of the other kids wanted to try touching it in Hazel's group so she was the brave one and touched it first. Then of course the others followed. Then the kids took turns holding it. They also put in seaweed, periwinkles, blue mussels, and a snail. The kids could take these things out of the water on their own. Next was a small crab. The poor crab got dropped by almost all the kids because of the shock of how ticklish it felt. Hazel again was the brave one who went first. One of her good friends was afraid to hold it so Hazel held it a second time (without dropping it this time) to show her that it was not too scary. I was so proud of my shy and anxious child!! Then they switched the groups to the other bins so the groups could see the same things.
The other bin had a hermit crab in it. The hermit crab came out when it was in the water but would hide when it was lifted up. The kids passed him around by his shell. This bin also had a small crab like the first bin, but that crab went into deep hiding in a shell upon the first group trying to touch him. Then we had the kids wash their hands and eat lunch. After lunch it was time to explore the science center. In the main room/lobby there was a hands-on tide pool table. Hazel is pointing to a sea star in it. Then there was a small room with other sea animals. They have a blue lobster (Hazel's friend loved this lobster), rays, fish and a huge lobster. The kids even got to see feeding time for some of the fish. Then we walked around the room where the class was and there were displays that were more boat oriented. Oh, and there was the juvenile humpback whale skeleton hanging in the lobby. After all this fun the kids got to go out and play on the playground that was on the grounds. Then it was time to come home. As soon as we got home that day, Hazel went to work on creating her own science center.
She had a turtle section and then shells. Some could be touched and some could not be. There were sea stars and she made blue mussels from blue duct tape. She had a whale and dolphin section as well. Then she set up a magnet fishing game since they had one at the science center as well. All week long she added to her science center. Now she even has signs. Of course her spelling is that of a beginner reader where she sounds out the words. She labeled what could be touched and what could not be touched. She added an oyster area with pearls. She at first was calling the clam section until I told her oysters were the ones with pearls. She also made a fish with her popsicle sticks.
I bought her two postcards from Seacoast Science Center and the one that had the name on it had a drawing of a blue lobster on it. She drew her own postcard, but I didn't get a picture of it. She drew a blue crab on it. I am not sure where she put it so I couldn't get the picture.
I love her creativity and watching her think of new things to do in it. She keeps telling us she is ready to open it, but then she thinks of something else. I have to say a field trip that makes her do this much afterwards is a definite win to me. Have you ever taken your child to a museum or field trip and had them want to recreate it so much? Where was it? | 2019-04-26T07:50:52 | https://www.craftymomsshare.com/2015/04/hazels-science-center.html |

WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer Hoyer (MD) led a letter that was signed by 58 House Democrats including Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Ranking Member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee Howard Berman, and Ranking Member on the Appropriations State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee Nita Lowey that is being sent to 40 key European heads of state today, urging them to stand with the United States in opposing unilateral action by the Palestinian Authority at the United Nations. In their letter, the members warn that there may be "devastating consequences for the peace process" should the Palestinians proceed unilaterally, and they make clear that direct negotiations are the only path forward to a just and lasting peace. The letter cites further risks of acting unilaterally, including the potential for violence on the ground and a reconsideration of U.S. assistance to the Palestinian Authority.
"We share with our friends and allies a determination to see this conflict ended peacefully," Hoyer said. "Voting together to oppose unilateral steps that set peace back would strongly reaffirm our common commitment to this shared goal and to the longstanding principle enshrined in the Oslo Accords that both parties ought to reach a solution through direct negotiations. Quite fundamentally, it would be an expression of our common values."
"Realizing the goal of two states, living side-by-side in peace and security, is only possible through direct talks - not in the halls of the UN General Assembly," Pelosi said. "A vote for Palestinian statehood will not advance the peace process; it will impede it. The nations of the world must make it clear: a lasting peace cannot be imposed on Israel or the Palestinian people - it can only be negotiated between the parties themselves."
“This is a historic moment in the Middle East. An inflammatory UN resolution, particularly one that unleashes international legal action against Israel, will put Middle East peace prospects on hold for years, if not decades," Berman said. "We are counting on our friends and allies to stand with us at this critical time."
We write on a matter of great urgency, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly meeting. It is our understanding that the leadership of the Palestinian Authority will pursue a resolution at the United Nations – in either or both the Security Council and the General Assembly – to grant the Palestinians the equivalent of statehood and/or prejudge final issues, including borders and the status of Jerusalem. One of the major goals of this effort is for the Palestinians to better position themselves to petition the International Criminal Court, very possibly bogging down the court for the foreseeable future.
It is our strong belief that such unilateral action would have devastating consequences for the peace process and the Palestinians themselves. Accordingly, we urge you in the strongest terms not to support this effort.
We believe that the only way to achieve a two-state solution is through direct negotiations leading to a peace treaty fully accepted by both governments and by both peoples. A just and lasting peace cannot and must not be imposed on the parties. If the Palestinians pursue such a unilateral approach, it violates the letter and spirit of the Oslo Accords and will deal a significant blow to future negotiations. Given the expectations gap among the Palestinian public, such action could lead to widespread violence on the ground, jeopardizing the West Bank’s impressive economic and security gains over recent years. There is also a substantial risk of more broadly inflaming the region and increasing violence at a time of already great instability. Finally, the United States will reconsider its assistance program for the Palestinian Authority and other aspects of U.S.-Palestinian relations if they choose to pursue such a unilateral effort.
We are confident that your government shares the United States’ commitment to a comprehensive resolution of the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians. That outcome can only be achieved through direct negotiations. A vote on a unilateral UN resolution will likely set prospects for peace back years.
Our bilateral relationship is based on certain fundamental values. We urge you to vote those values, and to stand with the United States in not supporting unilateral action at the UN that would impede the peace we all seek. | 2019-04-18T16:58:26 | https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/press-releases?ID=D2E1A888-F68A-4D97-B1DC-8B34758B7CDF |
There are three finishes of this indoor fireplace which share the same heater box and flame effects. The ‘guts’ of the fireplaces are identical, the finishes are different. The images and videos focus primarily on the black onyx version, but it also comes framed in ivory (white) and a newly released frame-less mirror finish. The simple, clean lines are contemporary and will fit almost any design decor.
In studying over 60 reviews of this fireplace not a single person complained about the quality of the fire and flame appearance. I find that fact stunning. I believe this electric fireplace will meet or exceed your changing moods for fantastic fire effects, from gently glowing embers up to roaring fire.
NOTE: If you have arrived on our site and have decided to buy the Onyx 50″ black electric fireplace then we recommend clicking through to Amazon.com and checking out this product and the daily discount. You will get very fast delivery (often free) and the great Amazon guarantee and service pledge.
The different levels of flame and light create very different levels of light and ambiance to suit any mood at any time. The flames are a ‘natural’ color only. There is no special effects capability for different colors like blue or purple flames as is available on a few more expensive competitors.
The flames are generated by long lasting, energy efficient, LED lights. The life expectancy is longer than regular bulbs. The access to change bulbs is underneath the heater box, on the bottom. The foreground of the logs is fixed and cannot be changed. When the unit is off you will see the log set (with the exception of the mirrored unit, which shows a frame-less mirror). In some fireplaces you can change out the logs, rocks or color of the sand (the media). Not so here.
The glass is not permanently adhered to the firebox. Some owners complained about not being able to clean behind glass if dust got in or something got stuck. That situation is now remedied by the manufacturer and pertained to older models and is seen in older YouTube videos.
As with most electric fireplaces, the electric fireplace heater is best thought of as a supplemental heat source. Your expectations may not be met if you are visualizing a primary heat source for your home. I believe that people who are disappointed in the electric fire box heat function may have slightly unrealistic expectations or did not understand the meaning of the specifications regarding the heating power. This unit is rated for being able to 400 square feet, producing 5,118 BTU’s, 1500 Watts and 11 and up Amperes, which is pretty standard for heaters of this size and class.
So how much house will it heat? Well in reality, that depends. If you have a closed room such as a bedroom it will heat it pretty well. If it is mounted in an open concept living room with flow through kitchen or dining room the heat effects will be minimal. You may, however be able to scooch your thermostat setting down a few degrees which may help on overall heating costs. If you are looking primarily for a heater, you may be better served by an infrared space heater. Of course they will not be as cozy and are no fun to look at and cuddle in front of with that special someone.
The fan in the unit forces the heat from the fire box vent which is across the top of unit hidden and is hidden behind the glass panel front. The top of the new units has a deflector which angles the heat forward. This deflector is a new addition and it was confirmed with the manufacturer that all 3 units (onyx, white and mirror finish have them). Again, older reviews and video may refer to models without that adaptation.
1. The unit is not designed to be recessed and flush mounted into the wall. It is not an in wall electric fireplace. The heat would be ‘trapped’ inside the wall creating a possible fire hazard. There is a switch on the back of the unit which will disable heat from being turned on at all. If you are looking for a flush mount unit, consider the Sideline Electric Fireplace which is similar in appearance, but with a forward discharge heat system.
2. You must take a careful look at what is mounted above the fireplace in terms of being affected by the heat. Heat rises. The manufacturer recommends a minimum of 24 inches if you are going to have a TV mounted above it, even with the deflector. Another option is to position a floating shelf between the fireplace and TV.
The unit does not have a thermostat that would allow you to set a specific temperature and maintain it. It has 2 settings, low (750 Watts) and high (1500 Watts) and the unit will run continuously at those levels.
Noise factor is a big consideration when comparing fireplaces. This unit is very quiet. Several buyers had trouble telling if the fan was actually on. They had to get very close to hear it. In the video there is a demonstration of how quiet it is. Since the level of acceptable noise is subjective, you can judge for yourself.
This unit has manual controls located on the lower left side of the unit on the heater box behind the glass. This could be a consideration in where to position the unit on the wall. There is an on/off switch, heat and light level controls and a timer. The heat control has 2 settings – high and low. The flame control has 5 individual setting levels, from barely glowing embers incrementally up to full fire.
The controls are push button and very small, not the easiest to read You will be operating by feel and effect. There is a built in timer that controls the shut off . It can be set from 30 minutes to 7.5 hours.
A remote control unit is supplied and all functions can be controlled remotely, including the on/off function. Count on using the remote for all functions pretty much all of the time.
The unit does not have sound effects. The power cord is black and 6 feet long, with a 3 prong plug, it comes out of the lower right side of the fireplace. The hanging cord can be an aesthetic distraction for some people, ruining the clean lines of the unit. Some people have relocated a plug to be behind the glass overhang, snugged up to the heater box. In the recommended accessories section we have a low tech solution for hiding the cord.
Never attempt to lift the unit by the glass front. You will pull the glass off. If you must lift the unit, or take it down, it is most safely done with 2 people, one on each side and lifting from the heater box.
This fireplace comes with an automatic heat shutoff as a fail safe. The front glass does not get hot so it is kid and pet safe in that regard. The fireplace is certified by the CSA group which is an industry standard rating, safety and approval board.
The fireplace can be run from a standard 120 volt outlet, plug and play. We would suggest not running multiple appliances or light from the same plug as you may risk tripping a breaker or blowing a fuse. The use of standard household extension cords is not recommended. If you must use one, make sure it is heavy duty designed for appliances. Check out our full post on electric fireplace safety.
How easy is the assembly and mounting? It is very similar to hanging a heavy mirror or picture.
The assembly of the unit is very straightforward and clearly explained in the manual; the glass will clip on the heater box with brackets permanently attached to the back of the glass and is then secured by 2 screws to the heater box. Hang the heater box on the wall first, and then hang of glass on the mounted heater box.
Special mounting screws/anchors for specialty mounting, for example brick as shown.
In a nutshell, here is what you will do in hanging the electric fireplace…easy, peasy.
1. Secure mounting bar to the wall.
2. Clip the heater box on the mounting bar.
3. Hang the glass on the heater box which is attached to the wall.
The fireplace comes with 3 drywall screws which attaches the mounting bar to the wall. Securing the mounting bar is the critical part of the process. Mount the bar securely, drill into studs, or use anchors if needed. That bar will support the 46 lb. fireplace when it is hung. Once the mounting bar is secure the fire box clips on to that. Then the glass clips on to the hung firebox. All in all this is an easy project. The mounting lit includes dry wall screws for basic wall mount. If you have, brick, stone or a special wall, you will need supplemental anchors and screws. A relatively simple project, a bit of time and voilà – a beautiful hanging electric fireplace.
WARNING: Never try to lift the unit by the glass reach around and lift it by the heater box. 2 people makes it safe and easy.
In calculating the cost of operation I will use some data gathered from other reviews. I was unable to get the power draw of the LED lights, so the cost of operation of the unit in flame only mode is an estimate.
To operate on flame only mode I estimate it should cost about 1 cent per hour. That is the cost calculated of incandescent bulbs , these LED lights are more efficient. So, using the flame effects mode and assuming 5 hours use each and every night it would add about $1.50 per month to your electric bill.
If you operate in heat and flame mode it will cost about $.18 per hour. So, running the unit every night for 5 hours would add $27.00 to your electric bill for the month. The 2 variables that will greatly affect your actual cost are how long you run the unit each month, and the cost of electricity in your state.
1. This site will show you your states energy cost per KWH or you can get it off of your electric bill (use residential column). Click Here: Your states energy cost.

The fireplace will protrude 5.5 inches from the wall.
• Truly outstanding flame effects adjustable to 5 levels.
• It is an extremely stylish, fashion forward focal point.
• The same unit is available in 3 finishes: Black, White, and Mirror – matching any décor.
• 1 year warranty from the manufacturer, Touchstone.
• Heating function, though adequate is not outstanding.
• It is a fairly heavy unit at 46 lbs. and needs secure mounting.
• Consideration must be given to the cord and plug. Is it an eyesore?
Check out this post if you want to learn more about general electric fireplace heater pros and cons.
The Touchstone 50” wall mounted electric fireplace receives almost universal accolades from its buyers. In fact there were so few negative reviews filling out the ‘cons’ section was tough going. Over 80% of buyers on Amazon give this the flat out highest rating.
To be short and sweet – at between $300 and $400, The Touchstone 50” electric fireplace is a great value. (See below for current price and discount).
In comparing the Touchstone 50 to other 50” wall mount fireplaces in its class, while not the least expensive, it is certainly on the low end of the scale. There are a number of similarly sized fireplaces that are $600 – $1400 with no appreciably better rating or customer feedback.
Oddly enough the white, black and mirror finishes were sometimes differently priced. The workings are the same for all 3. You may be paying a premium for a different cosmetic finish.
If you are clear you want a large wall mounted electric fireplace this is a great candidate. It is a great way to create a dynamic focal point in any room. It packs a good combination of features at a very reasonable price.
If you need something portable fireplace or are looking for a budget wall mount electric fireplace. The mounting bracket is permanently fixed to the wall. As with most electric fireplaces, think of the heat function as a bonus or being supplemental. It can take the chill out of a space, or in a standard size closed room actually do a good job, but it is not primarily a space heater. If you are looking for changeable media or different colored flames or a lot of heat, they are available in the extremely high end electric fireplaces.
If you want soothing, cozy mood and ambiance, this fireplace will fit the bill. Think of any place in your house where there is currently a blank wall, a print or painting you are tired of and you will have a spot for this. Indulge your inner decorator or inner romantic.
The Touchstone 50” wall mounted electric fireplace is a great combination of value and function. I happen to love the clean contemporary styling cues. I’m sure you will also.
I just had mine installed yesterday and I LOVE IT!! The manual is a bit brief; I am copying this Cozybythefire write up to add to the manual. And it has choices, 3 for flame size and light, and timer. It is gorgeous! Even my carpenter installer fell in love with it. And you can’t beat the price.

A classic April Fools' Day prank in France is to stick a paper fish onto an unsuspecting passerby.
Hoax expert has observed fewer personal pranks in recent years.
Today is April Fools' Day—the prankster's favorite day of the year.
We talked to Alex Boese, curator of the online Museum of Hoaxes in San Diego, California, to get the lowdown on this quirky holiday and how it has changed over time.
In recent years, Boese has noticed that the number of pranks done in the home and at the office seems to have decreased in the United States.
"A hundred years ago, most people played pranks at home, on the street, or in the office. It was considered a nuisance holiday. Today we lack the street culture to encourage [and get away with] pranks on strangers in public."
"In the last five to seven years we've seen an explosion of spoof ads by mainstream companies and organizations like the U.S. Army."
Because of sites like YouTube and Twitter, content can go viral instantly, and April Fools' Day provides a legitimate excuse to produce a fresh and funny video, in the hopes of earning widespread exposure.
"Companies feel enormous pressure to create these humorous videos, fearing that if they don't come out with one, they'll be considered unfunny or irrelevant," said Boese.
"I don't get sick of it at all," he said. "People love consuming humorous content, and April Fools' Day is a holiday specifically about this."
Boese is a little sad about the loss of personal participation, but he's delighted that the Internet has become such a great resource for humor.
The most popular theory is that after France changed its calendar in the 1500s to match the Roman calendar, the New Year then began in January instead of the start of spring, in late March or early April. Because word of the change traveled slowly, many people in rural areas continued to celebrate the New Year in the spring. These country dwellers became known as "April fools," the story goes.
But Boese, who has studied the holiday's origin, said the "theory is completely wrong, because the day that the French celebrated the beginning of the year, legally, was Easter day, so it never really was associated with April 1.
"Traditionally it was only a legal start to the year—people in France did actually celebrate [the New Year] on January 1 for as long as anybody could remember."
According to Boskin's story, jesters successfully petitioned the ruler to allow one of their elected members to be king for a day.
So, on April 1, Constantine handed over the reins of the Roman Empire for one day to King Kugel, his jester. Kugel decreed that the day forever would be a day of absurdity.
Every year the Ig Nobel Prizes in science, medicine, and technology are awarded for research that "first make people laugh, and then make them think," he said in 2011.
In 2013 prizes went to legitimate research that confirmed that people who think they are drunk also think they are attractive, that assessed the effect of listening to opera on mice heart transplant patients, and that discovered that dung beetles navigate using the Milky Way. | 2019-04-25T15:59:57 | https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/04/140401-april-fools-day-pranks-jokes-nation-culture/ |
Old Pulteney unveiled its new collection of single malt Scotch whiskies last year, finally launching it in Malaysia last month. We spoke to their distillery manager, Malcolm Waring, who was in Kuala Lumpur to promote the new expressions.
There’s something to be said about Scotch whisky where the single malt is a distinctive product with a variety and complexity of flavours. What makes Scottish whisky stand out is a combination of nature, a closely regulated manufacturing process and various methods the distilleries in Scotland use. For Old Pulteney’s distillery manager Malcolm Waring though, whisky making is an art.
As someone who has worked his way up the ranks through all areas of the distillery – from maturation warehouses to the mash room and then the stills – Waring is well versed in the operations and processes involved in making fine malt whisky. The 56-year-old has been in the industry for 30 years and now oversees the Pulteney Distillery in Wick, Caithness in the far north of Scotland.
In an era of change and rapid progress, many distilleries now include the use of modern technology in their whisky-making production. At Old Pulteney though, little has changed with Waring preferring to retain techniques that are no longer used or which have been forgotten.
“I am a traditionalist. I’m not really into all this modern technology. I’ve been to distilleries where modern practices are used and in all fairness, it’s up to them what they want to do. It’s not what I want to do. I’m really into the old ways of working,” says Waring, who has been at the helm of the Pulteney Distillery for over 12 years.
“A lot of them are geared up to be as efficient as you can and that’s fine. I do that to a point as well, as long as it doesn’t interfere with tradition or affect the final outcome of what I want to produce,” he added.
Part of Waring’s job is to ensure that the malted barley the distillery receives is milled, mashed, fermented, distilled and matured the Old Pulteney way, before being bottled and sold. In short, he has to ensure that everything that leaves the distillery is as they wanted.
At the Pulteney distillery, the milling process to grind the weekly 5.1 tonnes of malted barley into grist takes two hours, all done in 25kg batches in the distillery’s traditional, four-roller Porteus mill.
The mashing process then sees the starch in the grist being converted into sugar in a semi-lauter mash tun where the grist is immersed in water and stirred to produce the wort for fermentation. The stainless steel mash tun with a copper canopy is capable of completing 19 mashes per week but Waring prefers a different approach.
The distillery does an average of 14 mashes a week which are split into different fermentation lengths during the fermentation process – six “short fermenters” which take around 70 hours, and eight “long fermenters” which take 110 to 115 hours. The distillery houses seven stainless steel washbacks, with a working capacity of 23,500 litres to handle the fermentation process which leads to a ‘wash’ with an alcohol concentration of 8% to 8.5%.
During the distillation process, this wash is distilled twice – first into low wines and then the final spirit. The wash stills are what impart flavour and character to the spirit and Old Pulteney’s unusually shaped pot stills with particularly large boiling balls are the key to their whiskies having a more fragrant whisky character. The stills are also the inspiration for the brand’s bottle shape.
“The stills have a very, very important job – not just distillation but they also lend flavours and that’s where a lot of it begins. The size and shape of the still, the length of time that you’re going to distil – all that really has an impact on the spirit that you’re going to produce,” explained Waring.
“We run our stills quite slow within the industry, about 3.5 hours to 4 hours so we get a very big, beefy, veggie, full-bodied new make spirit that’s quite oily,” he added.
The vapours from the still are then condensed back into a liquid using a worm tub, a traditional but old and slow method that plays an important part in the final outcome and the new spirit. According to Waring, Old Pulteney is one of 15 distilleries (out of 120 working ones) in Scotland that are still using worm tubs.
Once the new make spirit is ready, it is then matured on site in carefully selected fine oak, ex-bourbon casks in Old Pulteney’s traditional dunnage warehouses.
“Wick has microflora that is totally unique (compared to) anywhere else and we’ve got that salty, coastal expression in the whisky as well. For me, it’s a play on where it is within the warehouse. You can fairly quickly get to know how a distillery works but it takes a long, long time to get to know how your warehouses work,” said Waring.
“I’ve matured them (the new spirit makes) in different positions in different warehouses within actually the plant itself, within the distillery itself so it’s a homage to the warehouses of where we are and what they can do and how they can bring a different dimension to it. The unique thing about Old Pulteney is that you still have the heart all the way through it, from the way it’s matured and what it’s matured in, with the different expressions bringing another dimension,” he expounded.
When asked about training in the whisky industry and if the younger generation is interested in working in the whisky production business, Waring shared that he learnt from those who were there before him. He also revealed that the industry recognises that its veterans are getting up there in age and that new blood is needed. Their response has been to offer apprenticeships in Scotland and the United Kingdom.
“I’m very much behind that. We need younger people to command and there is a lot of information and a lot of practices which are going to go if we don’t start bringing in new people. When you make whiskey, you use your senses. You have to have sight, sound, smell and taste to tell if something is wrong. Your computer is not going to do that for you. You need a person to do that,” said Waring.
“What makes good whisky is the people and the place. It has to be. We have to have that human element there and you have to have people who are very passionate in what they do. They have to have an understanding of what they do and that’s it’s not just opening up and closing a valve and heating water up. They really have to understand why we do that. The senses come in, the place comes in, how you look after it, and you can’t ever look at it as being a job,” he added. | 2019-04-18T22:19:55 | https://thecitylist.my/blog/old-pulteney-launches-new-collection-of-single-malt-scotch-whiskies-in-malaysia |
Several years ago I had a very profound experience, a conversion of sorts. Growing up in an Irish Catholic family I have memories of going to church that go back to before I could speak. Every Sunday the whole family, all eight of us, would sit right in the front pew, we attended CCD faithfully and received all of the sacraments of initiation.
But I was a product of my generation where we were not taught the depths of divine truth, rather we were taught a surface “feel-good” religion. So, needless to say, when I became a teenager, I stopped practicing the faith of my youth and adopted the basic secular humanistic tenet that permeates society today.
After a while I learned that this philosophy doesn’t deliver what it promises — peace, harmony and that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or God. So in my twenties I began a slow quest for peace in my life, which I was able to find from going to Mass on Sunday and singing with the choir.
There is a line from Isaiah 55:11, which tells us the word of God never returns to him void, it always accomplishes its purpose. So a few years after listening to scripture at Mass and hearing some good homilies on the “meat and potatoes” of our faith, I began to get involved in different ministries of the Church.
One very interesting homily, however, on the importance of sacramental confession proved to be life changing. Father spoke about how it is Jesus we meet in the confessional. He helped us to understand that while the priest is present, it was Jesus to whom I was confessing, who is truly present in his sacraments. The priest even gave out an examination of conscience after Mass.
Up to this point, I would just confess straight to God in sorrow for sin and feel forgiven. But then I found myself doing the same stupid things over and over. Of course I would feel awful (because sin always eventually makes you feel bad), so I would confess straight to God, feel forgiven, but then turn around and do the same stupid things again. It seemed I couldn’t break this cycle of repeated sin.
Being frustrated with myself, and after hearing that homily on confession, I felt a need to confess my sins to a priest.
That day changed the course of my life. I walked into the confessional, but someone else walked out — or rather, I left someone there, someone I didn’t want. The Lord flooded me with sanctifying grace that day. He gave me a profound hunger to learn the faith I instinctively knew I hadn’t learned, and to do holy things. I was also delivered from the very desire to participate in my past sinfulness — a free gift from God. And for the first time, I experienced deep inner peace and overflowing joy, so abundant that I think I wore a smile on my face for two weeks.
Prior to confession, the readings that week were about the Prodigal Son, the parable of God the Father’s love for the repentant sinner. What a loving and tender God we have who has such patience for his children.
Just as the father in the parable, he waits for us to turn our hearts to him. And when we choose to turn back to him, he sees us in the distance and meets us on the way, clothing us with grace and mercy. This is what we have waiting for us if we have genuine sorrow for our sins every time we go to confession.
My prayer for you as we prepare for Lent and Easter is that you avail yourself to the gift of divine grace and mercy through the sacrament of reconciliation and experience, as our Lord Jesus promised, the peace and joy this world cannot give.
“He first loved us”( 1 John 4:19), then there we were. Each newly conceived human person is so valuable to Our Lord that He desired the whole human experience, becoming a single celled human individual in His Mother’s womb. Our well-being so important to Him that He assigns an angel to remain with us throughout our whole life, to guard, protect and guide us. His love is so complete that He has chosen to be with us intimately by becoming our food in the Holy Eucharist!
What more can we say to articulate the great God-given dignity that is ours?!
The “right to life” is primary to forming a just society, one that upholds the dignity of every human person from the moment of conception until natural death. Children who are raised in a loving, stable and nurturing environment, where children are welcomed as a gift, are more well-adjusted, intelligent and successful adults.
A society that makes the distinction of who is worthy of care or worthy of life is one that destroys the very essence that will give it a stable and successful future. As the Lord God, the Creator of all things holds each one of us in such great esteem, we, as followers of Jesus Christ need to be like-minded. To change our society, we must change our own hearts. Let us make it our aim and goal to uphold the dignity of every human person, from the first moment of conception until natural death.
Whether walking our dogs around the neighborhood, walking to the Mission, gardening in front of the convent or shopping in one of the local food stores, people can see us and remember God.. And if we were nice to them, and this we take great care to do as a way of living our vow to uphold the dignity of every human person, they know God loves them. Very often, people ask us to pray for them, so we do, even in the midst of a busy shopping center. You see, it is not about the individual sister, but about Who we represent.
However, it is truly the habit of penance, as was evidenced one day while in a local food mart. A man who was very inebriated and "cussing up a storm," used the Lord's name in vain. I very gently said, "Please don't use the Lord's name in vain." He responded by heaping upon me a litany of "cusses" and appeared very agitated and aggressive. Understanding that I may be put in a position to "take a hit for the Lord," I knew that this man, whom I had never met before, was not angry with me, but angry at Who I represented. Consequently, the man was ushered out of the store by the people who came with him, after the store manager turned to call the police.
“The Church must always seek to make her presence visible in everyday life, especially in contemporary culture, which is often very secularized and yet sensitive to the language of signs…consecrated persons, called as they are in every situation to bear clear witness that they belong to Christ…The habit is a sign of con-secration, poverty and membership in a particular Religious family.
On Oct. 7th, 2011 Sr. Clare Marie of the Holy Eucharist was invested in the habit of our community, as she entered into the Novitiate stage of formation. At her Investiture ceremony, Sr. Clare consecrated herself to Our Lady of Guadalupe, the true Superior of our community. She received the medal of Our Lady of Guadalupe as a sign of her consecration. She was then tonsured, a total rejection of the vain things of the world, by willingly offering her one crowning beauty before she received our habit.
We are often asked why we wear a habit. The answer: We choose to!
Our Novices are invested with a white scapular, a sign of purity and of her consecration to Our Lady as well as a commitment to live out her vocation with the Blessed Virgin Mary as her role model and intercessor. The veil is our helmet of salvation and hope, a sign of her humility and unfailing obedience and of her firm intention to turn her eyes away from foolish vanities. | 2019-04-25T10:55:19 | http://fdofmary.org/thoughts-from-mother.php |

The Norwegian government has repeatedly proposed implementing tuition fees for students outside of the EU. The International Students Union of Norway (ISU), in cooperation with several other student organizations, has fought against the proposal, and been successful, at least so far.
This year, the government proposes ending a funding program for students from developing countries and countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia called the “Quota Scheme.” This program offers 1,100 spots at any given time for students to take a degree in Norway who may have otherwise not had the opportunity to do so.
The primary objective of the program is for the students to get an education that will benefit their home country. More than 70 percent of the students from developing countries on the Quota program return home after their studies are completed.
A government-commissioned evaluation revealed that there were some issues with the program. Concerns were raised, for example, over the large amount of resources that went into its administration, with the government not knowing whether the students stayed in their home country or not.
The government thus proposes replacing the Quota Scheme with two alternative programs: one that works on short-term exchanges with the Global South, and another that creates a ‘Panorama’ program with the BRICS countries (including Brazil, India, and China).
ISU opposes the replacement programs because they are vaguely described, incomplete, and have entirely different objectives than education for development. These actions also go against the recommendations from the evaluation that recommended improving the Quota Scheme, not scrapping it.
Representatives from academia have expressed support for the Quota Scheme, including University of Oslo Rector Ole Petter Ottersen, and several department heads such as Poul Wisborg, the head of the Department of International Environment and Development Studies at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.
Despite the importance of this program, there has been a lack of attention on its possible demise. Many university faculties are still in the dark, yet some of their programs could be shut down without the funding the Quota Scheme provides to its researchers.
With negotiations on the state budget nearing an end, ISU seeks the support of the Liberal and Christian Democrats parties, which have lobbied for education and development in the past. Without the Quota Scheme, students from developing countries will have little chance of fulfilling the study permit requirements to take a full degree in Norway. | 2019-04-19T19:22:01 | https://www.newsinenglish.no/2015/11/30/foreign-students-rally-to-save-funding/ |

Anyone who grew up with siblings and video games understands the struggle of a game that doesn’t offer split screen multiplayer. I grew up with the Nintendo 64, so the only time my little brother and I would fight was over whose turn it was to use the console. His Legend of Zelda vs. my Cruis’n USA. We would always settle the argument with a best 2 out 3 on Super Mash Bros. This was back when video game consoles offered the option to have up to four players playing at once. Things have changed since then.
Microsoft and Sony have seem to forgotten that not every gamer is an only child. I have fond memories of my little brother and I spending afternoons completing split screen co-op campaigns on Halo 1-3 and early Call of Duty games.
Besides certain video game titles, I cannot remember the last time I saw a modern game that offered split screen co-op campaigns, or multiplayer. What are siblings supposed to do with a single player campaign? Share? Wait until one completes the game, delete their progress, and allow the other to start a new campaign? Buy another gaming console, and television, so they can play together via system link? I’m sure parents will love that idea. But I digress.
This past weekend my friends and I were facing the same problem. A free Sunday with empty pockets from the previous two nights. There was only one thing to do… drink and play video games.
Recently, there was a photo we saw on the internet about a drinking game involving Super Mario Kart. Basically, you and your friends start the race with a full beer. You have a choice of either chugging your beer before setting off, or pull over just before crossing the finish line and then chugging it down. The whole point of the game is that you cannot drink and drive, and you have to finish your beer before finishing the race. It’s a dumb way to get tipsy with friends while playing video games and having a few laughs. I didn’t have Super Mario Kart, but I did have an Xbox One with Forza 5 so we figured we would try it.
While I was setting everything up I discovered something by accident. I accidentally signed-in both Xbox One controllers to the same profile which resulted in both controllers registering as player one. Each controller could navigate the home menu as player one seamlessly.
That meant a single player race now had with two players controlling the same car. A total freak out for us until we decided to try to finish a race using both controllers. I would control the throttle, brake, and gear change while my friend handled the steering. It took us a while get the hang of it due to having different driving styles, but after a few laps we were in sync. Reminded me of the movie Pacific Rim only with racing instead of giant battle robots. Or, the episode of Top Gear UK when they competed against Top Gear Germany with double-decker cars that had one driver controlling the pedals and the other one on steering duty.
Literal co-op racing is so much fun! It creates a new challenge of figuring out where your buddy’s racing line is and adjust your throttle input to compensate. They have to predict when you are about to get on the gas when exiting a corner and when you’re going to start braking. Losing control means having to save each other by working together with counter steering and throttle input.
Trying to race as fast as possible is difficult but equally more rewarding when you and your teammate get it right and drift around a corner into 1st place. Both controllers are receiving the same signals so both players know what the other is doing. Its co-op racing at its literal definition.
This offers new possibilities for games among friends. Groups can team up to see who can set the best lap times. Rookies unfamiliar with racing games can learn how to play by teaming up with an experienced player. They get to learn about racing lines, gear changes, and counter steering while playing instead of watching someone do it.
I also tried this with Forza Horizon 3 and it works!
This is how I learned this, glitch? Not sure what you would call it. Turn on your console and both controllers. Then remove a battery from 1st player, set it back, and turn it back on so Xbox One asks you to sign in to a profile.
All you have to do is choose the same profile as player one and then test it out to see if both controllers can navigate through the home screen.
I am not a gamer, nor do I claim to be one. I enjoy video games at a reasonable level, and do not consider myself tech savvy.
So for those of you reading this who already knew, sorry for sounding like a “noob.” I tried researching to see if anyone else had done this. Couldn’t find anything so I’m not sure if its just a glitch in on my console or its something everyone can do. So, I recommend this to anyone who has the means to try this to find out.
For any siblings out there this can also work as a way to troll your older or younger siblings. Set it up without them knowing and then watch as they shout in rage when you press the handbrake during the final lap of the race.
My friends and I had a blast playing co-op racing. It took us back 15 years. Back when cooties were real, candy was recreational, and TV’s were heavy. A time when text messages were hand written notes passes in class. If it wasn’t for the empty beer cans littered around us we would have looked like children. Four boys huddled around a TV playing video games.
Let me know if any of you try this, or already knew about it. | 2019-04-25T03:54:25 | https://jesusbehindthewheel.com/2017/01/31/2-players-1-driver-literal-co-op-racing-on-xbox-one/ |
reprepro is the tool we use to mirror Debian repositories (including Ubuntu) to the AFS mirrors.
When updating package mirrors, it is undesirable for the index to be out of sync with the actual packages on disk, and vice-versa. This is generally achieved by syncing in two stages – firstly obtaining new files in the mirror and then secondly updating the indexes (and removing no-longer referenced files).
Problems occur if the upstream mirror updates itself during this process (which may happen up to 4 times a day). Debian, for example runs a “push” model where first-tier mirrors are notified of in-progress updates (see https://salsa.debian.org/mirror-team/archvsync/) and can restart any in-progress syncs to maintain consistency. OpenStack Infra is not suitable to apply for these notifications, as our mirror is not intended to be public and may be incomplete (we may not mirror all suites, or architectures, etc. as our needs dictate). This means if using other tools like ftpsync primarily intended for full replication we are very likely to have periods where our mirror gets out of sync (with subsequent job failures).
reprepro is more commonly used to build and manage private repositories, but has a number of features making it suitable for our use.
Rather than sync upstream indexes, it recreates them based upon files gathered from the upstream mirror. Since the upstream mirror remains consistent, reprepro will always download a consistent set of files. Then thanks to the release of the AFS mirror volume being atomic, we do not have any period where the repository package index doesn’t match the set of packages in the filesystem.
Since this does not require coordination with upstream, the same pattern is suitable across Ubuntu, Debian and other various apt repositories that may require integration (or perhaps do not provide facilities) for correct mirroring. Although reprepro can be more complicated to configure, it is consistent across these different distributions.
reprepro also makes it fairly easy to mirror only certain suites or architectures for a given repository, and to modify these configurations as required.
Note our repositories are not signed since reprepro recreates the indexes from scratch. This is actually somewhat helpful in avoiding the infra mirrors becoming de facto mirrors for a range of unrelated jobs (since we really do not guarantee contents for anything other than infra jobs).
apt will require --no-check-gpg or similar settings in configuration to use OpenStack mirrors.
Repository syncs are driven from cron on the mirror-update.openstack.org host using the /usr/local/bin/reprepro-mirror-update script. Repositories will update, remove old references and perform the vos release.
For a small repository, corruption is probably best handled by removing the entire repository and re-syncing. This is undesirable for larger repositories, however.
Be careful with vos release which is done as part of /usr/local/bin/reprepo-mirror-update to avoid inadvertently releasing in progress work. Also be aware the commands in that script by default run under timeout which you may not want in recovery.
Corrupt reprepo databases will halt mirroring with often obscure symptoms. For example, this has been seen in production with reprepo ending up hung in an silent infinite loop. In this case, using strace revealed the last operation was on a file-descriptor related to a .db file, which gave a clue the databases were corrupt. Other failures may be possible, of course.
We will use the Ubuntu repository as an example below.
Firstly check in dmesg for AFS related errors. It is quite likely any corruption has happened due to issues at this layer, so ensure stability here before continuing to further recovery.
# export REPREPRO="reprepro -VVV --confdir /etc/reprepro/ubuntu --dbdir ~/db"
This will take several hours (~6 hours in 2017) as it touches all the repo files.
They should come back with the next update.
You can then re-add the entries and run another update, which should resync everything from fresh.
To stage a recovery prior to release, you can modify the mirror_root argument in openstack_project::mirror puppet to point Apache to the RW mirror /afs/.openstack.org/mirror where fixes are deployed, rather than the released RO /afs/openstack.org/mirror. This way you can avoid having to release the RO mirror and switch back quickly if things don’t work.
When fixed, you can either manually run vos release, or restore cron and let the next reprepro-mirror-update run do it. | 2019-04-19T12:45:26 | https://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/reprepro.html |

We Americans tend to take our high standards of hygiene and the available hygienic products for granted. Think about it. Compared to the rest of the world, we are pampered with so many different commercial concoctions to keep ourselves tidy and smelling fresh. It defines our culture. We are dirty and unrespectable if we don’t use these chemicals to de-grease, de-hair, de-plaque, or deodorize our bodies.
The toothbrush aisle is quite a sight nowadays. As a lover of simplicity, I often question these kinds of presentations. Do we really need 30 different types of floss? 100 different toothpastes? endless “new and improved” toothbrush designs? Why is there still a need (at least they give us the impression of “need”) for newer, better, stronger products?
It is true that different people have different needs, different wallet sizes, different preferences, etc. I understand there is no one-size-fits-all. But I think we are spoiled.
What also bothers me is that we are “spoiled” with these things that are not good for our health.
Conventional dentistry fixes you up just enough so that for a while your teeth seem to work fine, but eventually a new problem will crop up and you’ll eventually need to go back. You are still dependent. That’s what keeps us dentists in business.
The Philosoraptor can be clever sometimes.
I try to play it safe by supplying more natural dental hygiene products to my patients. We shouldn’t have to rely on foreign chemicals and substances when caring for basic hygiene. Those with poor dental health should take a look at the root of the problem — the health of the body and gut — instead of falling for the newest commercial product. For a truly lasting effect, your oral and dental health rely on your overall health, not tubes of minty who-knows-what.

Little under a year ago, Paloma Faith graced us with the release of her fourth studio album The Architect. An updated version of the album full of political and social messages with singles ‘Crybaby’ and ‘Guilty’, will be released again next month. Paloma recorded a handful of new songs for the re-release, which goes under the name ‘Zeitgeist Edition’. Faith now shares the first new song of the collection. The track is called ‘Loyal’ and is perfectly in line with the sound of the rest of the album.
‘Loyal’ could best be described as a soulful, midtempo pop song with a big, vivacious chorus. The soaring melody is memorable on first listen and Paloma makes sure that she belts the words straight into your brain. The choir of backing vocals get a prominent place in the last chorus which makes for a satisfying climax. Lyrically ‘Loyal’ is all about not giving up on love, although it ain’t easy. Faith sings about how we always crave for perfect love, which makes us forget to have a look at what is right in front of us. A track that seems to be written from a personal experience, but has a universal message at the same time! | 2019-04-23T10:55:00 | https://abitofpopmusic.com/2018/10/12/single-review-paloma-faith-loyal/ |
I may have posted crap a few days out of the month, but I really didn’t think I’d be able to remember to post every single day. Now I’m not going to want to post for the rest of the year, but I will try.
I forgot how nice it feels to post regularly. My writing isn’t what it used to be, it’s kind of devolved into very speedy nonsensical gibberish, but I think if I posted more often it could improve.
Now to not make this post all meta, I just watched Food Inc with Keith.
And a warning, if you like food at all, you probably shouldn’t watch it. It was heartbreaking and depressing and disgusting. Well, not the movie, but the entire food industry.
It honestly makes me want to go live in a hut somewhere and eat grass for the rest of my life. I think I was happier being ignorant of everything, but I also feel a bit better knowing. Not saying that my eating or buying habits will change drastically , but maybe I’ll try a little. Organic stuff is expensive, which is a shame.
The grassy hut thing sounds the easiest option right about now.
I think you are a very good writer. I actually think the writing in this blog (except for the major cop-out entries) is the best you’ve ever done. And I’ve been subscribing to KatrinaLife for how many years now…2000? I know you had one before that, but I was internet-backwards and didn’t know about all the fantastical things the internet could bring until about that point.
Anyway, I think you are a great storyteller, both in oral and written form. THe writing is witty and snappy, of course the dry, wry humor is present and makes the entries lough out loud funny. But, there is so much heart too, there are so many times when you can make a reader feel worry or concern for you, and that is wonderful that you can make people empathize with you.
Anyway, I appreciate your blog. | 2019-04-23T20:10:13 | https://cupcakesupremacy.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/nablopomo-day-the-last/ |
