The Hospitality Committee would like to invite ladies out to our local theater to see a wonderful movie. This August on Saturday August 13th, we will watch “The Help”. We will view it early afternoon at the AMC Theaters in Madison Heights (corner of John R & 14 Mile). The AMC/Star is located across the street from the Oakland Mall.
For those of you who haven’t heard about it yet, it is based on the book by the same title written by Kathryn Stockett. The story is about three friends who are determined to change their town, Jackson, Mississippi during the early sixty’s.
The author examines the lives of mothers, daughters, friends, and maids.
A sign up sheet will be available in the CWCC Fellowship Hall if you want to attend. Hope to see you at the movies. | 2019-04-26T05:41:07 | http://centralwoodwardchristian.com/movies-with-the-women-of-cwcc/ |

"Stefan is our man when we need someone do the work on wordpress websites, CSS, PHP, HTML, jQuery, ... He did several tasks for Neparno 10 so far and we are very pleased with results. He is honest, skilled, fast and hard working."
"Stefan was very professional, detail oriented and provided additional expertise in completing the project. He was responsive and communicated expectations and provided updates in timely manner."
Stefan is fantastic. I would recommend him 100% to complete a job for your. Not only did he transfer my website to a new domain as requested he also completed a couple of other minor tweaks without being asked. He is a great guy who works very quickly, and had me up and running on my new site within a few hours.
Stefan completed this job within an hour and at the price stated. The work was completed brilliantly, and got my website online with a matter of hours when I was worried I would no longer be able to continue with it. Stefan is polite, responds quickly to messages, and delivers a good end results. Would recommend and be using again. Thanks Stefan!
"Stefan was a pleasure to work with. He was fast, precise, and made additional recommendations that improved the outcome of the project. Will be hiring him again in the future."
Stefan was excellent to work with on my wordpress project. I had some basic specifications and he worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done. Any questions or changes I requested he delivered straight away. Highly recommended.
Stefan is fast, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Recommended!
"I was so impressed with Stefan's speed and ability to get this project done! He went far above and beyond what I asked by fixing bugs in my site that I didn't even know where there. I will absolutely be using him again! Stefan communicates so well and always delivers quicker than I expect. This is my second time working with him and won't be the last!"
"Stefan is a serious, responsible and committed worker, who does not look at the clock when the need to reach your goal always with high levels of excellence. I strongly recommend him."
Stefan is really top quality professional, very skilled and strong know how with design, front end, and Wordpress. He has gone beyond our expectations in speed, efficiency, reliability, quality of work. We will definitely hire him again.
"I have recently established my own company in the domain of HR management counseling as well as psychotherapy. Making a website like this was a challenge from the start, because it had to meet very specific preferences for the clients/web site users. Stefan helped me a lot to turn my ideas into website reality. He is a good listener, and we were able to connect. It was very easy to transfer my ideas onto his work, but not just that, his suggestions with the website helped a lot and i accepted them. He explains things in a simple way so that a person not from the IT world can understand them. He was flexible and always there to meet my needs while we were working. I give my best regards and recommend his services if you want to make a website. Very professional yet friendly and communicative. Thank you Stefan for helping our company make a brilliant website"
Stefan was a great programmer to work with. He skills are top notch. His communication was very good. I will definitively hire him again! Thanks!
"I used to manage my websites myself, but during the years Wordpress became such a burden, I would not be able to do it anymore without Stefan's help. Cyberattacks made my business very difficult at moments. Now, I have less sleepless nights and avoid security issues in general. Also changing trends demand up to date website design, which is a profession in itself. I could not possible have sufficient time for both beside managinf my company. I am absolutely satisfied."
Thank you for fast and efficient work!
Stefan is great to work with and helped me quite a bit with a couple website design projects. I would hire him again.

Home > Healthy Living > Article > What is My Life's Purpose?
I was always asking myself things like; what is my purpose on this planet? Is it to be an emotional and physical punching bag for others who claim that they love me? Was I so bad in another life that I am being paid back in this life? Is this happening to me because I had an abortion when I was younger and took that life that I had been blessed with? Am I so unlovable? Am I meant to be alone? Why do the people I love always hurt me? I guess I’m meant to be alone because maybe I’m not worth it. Pretty depressing right? But I’m sure many of you on the receiving end of bad behaviour have asked yourselves these questions or ones like them, and many more.
We make most of our decisions based on the negative input from that loud voice in our head – ego, rather than the quieter voice in our gut – our true higher self, our soul, our guides…whatever your belief, it is that higher consciousness that would rarely lead your astray, if you would just listen. We hear it…but much of the time what “the gut” wants us to do…the direction that it is asking us to take…is too hard, we feel the price is too high. Every cell in our being…if we are true to ourselves…knows it is what we must do, but for some reason we choose the loud mouth in our head that makes us doubt ourselves, makes us feel bad, judge ourselves poorly and allows us to feel inadequate, or actually as if we derserve the situation we find ourselves in. What is that all about? Is it easier to allow ourselves to suffer than to step away and heal ourselves, putting an end to the bad behaviour? | 2019-04-24T23:47:45 | https://www.health-local.com/articles/2482/what-is-my-life-s-purpose |
What is the Libratone Too?
The Libratone Too is a small wireless speaker that belongs to a class where price, portability and sound quality converge. Little “tube” speakers such as this are often great buys.
This model is another strong contender, but one that favours style and a clean sound over the sort of room-filling bass you get with the Bose SoundLink Mini II and others.
The Libratone Too is a cute little tube speaker. There are plenty of rivals sporting a similar shape, but few have the sheer charm of this one.
First, there are no hard edges to the Libratone Too. The smooth weaved grille curves into the soft-touch rubberised plastic of the base, with the rubber carry-handle popping out of the end. Nothing looks out of place here, and all its parts are colour-matched.
The controls on the Too’s top have plenty of Libratone special sauce, too. The lightly indented power button all-but blends into the shell and the light-up Libratone logo is actually a smart touch-sensitive panel that lets you control playback with a tap, or alter volume with a circular sweep.
Among small wireless speakers it stands out, but in use I’ve found it a little annoying at times. When you carry the Libratone Too around, it’s far too easy to accidentally knock the touch panel, which will result in pausing your tunes. I’ve done this a lot, more times than I’ve actually used the touchpad deliberately. It doesn’t help that’s positioned so close to the carrying handle.
Since the Libratone Too uses a relatively hard rubberised underside rather than a full rubber foot, the speaker tends to transmit far more vibration than much of the competition. This means it can actually use the surface it’s on to improve the bass; unfortunately, it also results in some unwanted noise if you rest it on the wrong object.
These are niggles rather than big problems, however, and the Libratone Too has both a microphone for calls and a solid battery life of up to 12 hours. It has splash-proofing too – it’s certified to IPX4, meaning it will handle the odd splash but not being submerged in water. Other than the water-resistant grille, it’s the rubber clasp covering the micro-USB charge socket and 3.5mm input that make this possible.
The Libratone Too’s design is largely a success. It’s prettier than the competition, without upping the price or sacrificing many important features. However, sound quality is a little more mixed.
Positives include that the sound is nicely balanced and that it has “360-degree” dispersal. What this really means is that, contrary to what you’d guess, the drivers actually face upwards, the sound then being routed through both sides of the grille.
Most speakers of this type have front-facing drivers. There are two 1.5-inch active drivers and a passive radiator, used in little speakers like this to increase bass power.
This is precisely what the Libratone Too lacks, however: bass. Playing next to the Bose SoundLink Mini II, the Too sounds meek and reserved, without anything like the fun low-end punch of the Bose speaker. It’s a much smaller sound that doesn’t get close to the room-filling capabilities of the best at the size.
On a surface that won’t resonate sympathetically to improve the low-end, the Too sounds like one of the less exciting speakers in this class. For example, the Jam Heavy Metal has more crisp treble, and bass somewhere between the Libratone and the Bose.
In the Libratone Too’s favour is that it’s £60 cheaper than the Bose SoundLink Mini II, but alternatives from Creative and Jam Audio aren’t weighed down by the same price difference.
A few years ago the Libratone Too would have seemed like a bit of a revelation. Nowadays, sonically, it’s a middleweight – if one that’s still perfectly satisfying.
The scenarios in which it will flourishe are when you’re not having to deal with a sound “sweet spot”, or you don’t want to disturb people nearby too much with your tunes.
A picnic in the park is native ground for the Libratone Too. Bung it in the centre of your spread and everyone sat around it will be able to hear properly, where with most speakers of this style, one side get a better deal than the other.
Should you buy the Libratone Too?
The Libratone Too scores better on design than sound quality; it’s a sensibly priced and pretty portable speaker, with no glaring feature gaps.
Alternatives tend to sound bigger, bassier and more energetic, so if you’re out to fill your kitchen or living room with music that you’re going to want to dance to, consider the options.
These include Libratone’s own Click speaker, although it suffers from bass that isn’t quite as tight and well controlled as some. Other favourites worth a look include the seriously beefy-sounding Bose SoundLink Mini II, the crisp Jam Heavy Metal and the Creative iRoar Go.
None of them quite have the colourful style of the Libratone Too, though – so if a fun, low-maintenance speaker is what you’re after, you’ve found one here. | 2019-04-23T12:07:45 | https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/libratone-too |
Today, I have had an orientation program with the Pudgimelon Education Services which is led by Pat and Teacher George. I was waiting for this activity for sometime.
This day is also my birthday which means that I am 15 years old today. After my friends had come to the Imm Fusion Hotel . My friends and I traveled with Pat and George on the BTS train to the Sub-Zero Club which is a ice skating club.
Over there, we began ice skating, but this was the first time for me to do this kind of an activity. So, I had a lot of problems when I was ice skating. I kept falling down onto the floor, and I had to keep staying around the edges. Later on, I decided to stop ice skating and taking a rest on a chair.
Then, my friends and I ate some pizzas that were ordered by Pat and George. After that, George began a small birthday party for me. Everyone also received donuts during the small party.
Around 4 P.M. , our group traveled to the Harbin Ice Wonderland which is a kind of an amusement park with items made out from ice. In that place, we began playing ice sliders and other types of rides that is allowed. The Ice Wonderland is about -15 degrees cold, but I was well-equipped for that. I still felt quite cold though.
After this, we traveled back to the hotel and walked to eat at an MK restaurant in Tesco Lotus at about 6 P.M. . We finished eating at about 7 P.M. . Then, we traveled back to the hotel and began talking about the codes of conduct. After that, we had a game which didn’t end well for me , as my group had to clean the dishes on the second day of our trip to the. U.S. , but we had a lot of fun. I also had a good conversation with Teacher George and some of my friends.
My roommates in this program are Porsche and Time. Both of them are from the Vajiravudh School. I hope that I will get some more experience in this program. | 2019-04-26T14:12:02 | http://pudgimelon.com/the-orientation-program-on-march-16-2015/ |
Is Your Company Prepared for the Worst?
Carrying insurance, having a plan, limiting liability… these are all important steps to minimize risk associated with a disruptive event. But without a dynamic business continuity management program, brand equity could suffer significantly. David Nolan, CEO and founder of Fusion Risk Management, rebuts seven common misconceptions about business continuity.
Imagine a runner on a treadmill following a preset workout program. Even as the treadmill speeds up during the higher-intensity phases, as long as the runner is prepared for changing conditions, she will stay in sync with the machine. But if the runner falters or stops and the treadmill keeps going, she’ll stumble, fall and may even end up injured.
To keep the business running and revenue flowing, executives must include business continuity in their overarching company strategy, and that requires a fundamental understanding of what business continuity is and what it means for the organization.
IT services disruption – any disruption affecting access to IT services (often referred to as “IT disaster recovery”) or the protection of critical data (often referred to as “cybersecurity”).
Workplace disruption – any disruption of a business entity (offices, call centers, retail locations, trading rooms, manufacturing plants, labs, warehouses, etc.), as well as critical assets such as machinery or other specialized equipment.
Supplier disruption – any disruption to critical suppliers, service providers, utilities and related infrastructure or logistics that stops or slows the movement of critical products and/or services into or out of your business.
While most executives may believe they are prepared for at least some of these disruption scenarios, commonly held misconceptions show the opposite may be true.
Misconceptions about a company’s level of resilience to adverse events and its ability to effectively respond can create serious risk for executives. Here are seven common misconceptions.
Many executives think if they have a documented business continuity plan, the business is adequately prepared. But having a plan and being able to execute it are two very different things. Unless the plan is comprehensive, complete, current and accurate, it may not be worth the paper it’s printed on.
To think that a business will never experience a significant disruption is wishful thinking and indefensible, should a disruption occur. In addition to natural disasters, acts of terror or the catastrophic weather events that are becoming more common, even seemingly minor disruptions can have a significant impact on an organization’s ability to maintain operations and meet its commitments.
This is certainly a way to pay for some disruptions, but it does not ensure business continuity. Insurance coverages can lull executives into a false sense of security that risks have been addressed and require no further attention. And insurance will never compensate for brand impact and loss of shareholder value.
In fact, effective business continuity can help avoid claims and prevent losses entirely. Balancing investments between insurance coverages and business continuity can result in a dramatically reduced risk profile that may otherwise drive higher premiums. Additionally, typical coverages only compensate the business, not partners or customers who rely on goods and services for their own needs and who may be left high and dry in the event of a disruption.
It is true that there is a rational balance of fiscal and fiduciary demands that should determine how much to invest in managing any risk. That number is rarely zero, however, and should never materially impact the core mission of the business. Tragically, many organizations are spending money on people, assets, services and activities that will not protect the business’s ability to function during a crisis.
These, like insurance, are critically important measures to have in place, but only address a narrow portion of the full scope of disruptions that can impact a business. Like business continuity plans, are the IT disaster recovery plans comprehensive, complete, current and accurate? Have these plans been exercised under a variety of disaster scenarios to ensure IT operations can be restarted and resynchronized to the current state of the business? A comprehensive program that incorporates IT disaster recovery plans and response capabilities ensures that investments in IT resilience deliver value in the event of a disruption.
The truth is, every business is complex in its own way, and without a formal business continuity program, the true extent of the organization’s internal and external dependencies or the actual duration of a business disruption isn’t revealed until a disruption occurs.
Not having a business continuity program means not having an understanding of what it will take to respond to a variety of potential disruptions, find workarounds to maintain operations and recover fully, should an adverse event occur. Scrambling to respond without a plan – while under the pressure of customer commitments, compliance, safety and public scrutiny – never works out as well as having a plan and a program already in place.
Another common misconception is that if you limit your liability, your business is protected. But what about your customers, your employees and your business partners? Are you protected from shareholder suits if your equity value is damaged? During an operational disruption, there are many stakeholders affected – whom the business has the responsibility to consider and whose impact can cause damage to your company’s reputation and your brand. If brand trust is destroyed because a potentially preventable issue has affected customers, shareholders, employees or partners, contract liability may become immaterial. Planning and responding effectively in the face of adverse events far exceeds the benefits of contract protections alone.
For executives to responsibly establish and execute a competitive business strategy, risks must be identified, contingencies must be considered and capabilities must be established to ensure strategic objectives can be achieved. Assessing operational risk, evaluating business impact and defining appropriate tolerances for operational disruption are the foundations of a responsible approach to managing business continuity risk.
Not taking action creates its own set of risks. Oftentimes, executives place a higher priority on fulfilling their fiscal (not fiduciary) responsibilities by managing costs, monitoring accounts receivable and payable, assessing credit risk, etc. This is managing risk simply as a financial phenomenon when it should also be considered an operational necessity.
More than anything else, brand equity depends on business continuity management as a critical supporting element. Brand equity is created by an accumulation of goodwill over time, and executives are the stewards of that equity. If a disruptive event occurs and is not well managed, then reputation, trust and ultimately brand equity can be damaged and market value diminished. Investing in an effective business continuity management program can be the best investment to make for the highest potential return for your brand.
A company’s viability, brand equity and ability to compete in the marketplace every day all rely on having a firm grip on business continuity risks and an effective program to actively manage them. If you are not making business continuity management a strategic priority, you are in a shrinking minority – and you’re creating substantial risk for your business.

Historically, the Kenyan government exercised tight control over the media, although it owns only a portion of it. However, the advent of multiparty politics in 1992 brought about an expansion of press freedom. Kenya has five daily newspapers. The leading dailies are the English-language Daily Nation and its Swahili counterpart Taifa Leo, and the English daily The East African Standard. These and most other periodicals are published in Nairobi. The daily newspaper with the largest circulation and the most influence is the Daily Nation. The English Kenya Times and the affiliated Swahili Kenya Leo are owned by the Kenya African National Union (KANU), the ruling party. Following political reforms of late 1997, a lively alternative press has emerged in the form of inexpensive newspapers such as the biweeklies The Star and The Dispatch. The state-owned Kenya Broadcasting Corporation operates radio and television stations serving most of Kenya; it offers programs in English, Swahili, and vernacular languages. Private FM radio stations have also been licensed to serve the Nairobi market. The Kenya Television Network serves the Nairobi area. Radio ownership is widespread among Kenyans, but television ownership is restricted mainly to the middle and upper classes. Telephone service has expanded over the past two decades, but Kenya still has only 10 telephones for every 1,000 residents. Access to the Internet is limited to affluent individuals and companies located in Nairobi and other major cities. | 2019-04-19T22:39:34 | http://countriesquest.com/africa/kenya/economy/communications.htm |

Sebring 2015: Maria Parker sets new record on a Cruzbike Vendetta to win the 12-hour race.
Maria Parker set a new female record for the 12-hour race at Sebring, riding a Cruzbike Vendetta. A good number of the Cruzbike crew were present at the race, and I heard from an authoritative source, who was present at the race, but who I will not name, that the diamond frame riders were seriously pissed. The DF peloton refused to ride cooperatively with the recumbent riders during the race, one of them told a recumbent rider during the race that they “don’t want [you] here,” and, at the award ceremony, the actual trophy was handed to the top-finishing diamond frame female rider, instead of Maria, who was the female rider who rode the greatest number of miles. Wait, what’s that? Whoever rides the greatest number of miles wins, right?
Maria has a nice blog entry about the day here. True to her good character, she makes no mention of the unsportsmanlike conduct of the standard frame riders.
Jim Parker won the 100 mile race in 4 hours, 14 minutes on a CB Vendetta. He wrote an enjoyable blog entry about the Florida HPRA race, which occurred in the days before Sebring.
Interesting side note: a Bachetta rider, who lost the race, bought a Vendetta after the race.
Other fun little tidbit is that another Cruzbike contender, Daryl Hanger, raced his recently acquired Sofrider in the Stock category and scored 7th overall in points out of 15. I love it. The Sofrider is NOT built for speed, but as someone who rides one for city commuting, I have to say I’m not astonished to hear this. I continue to think it’s one of the fastest, low cost recumbents available today.
Daryl Hanger shows what a Cruzbike Sofrider can do.

So, in light of recent events, I was unable to follow up on my Coursera Algorithms course.
Navigate to your lecture page(for me, it was https://class.coursera.org/algs4partII-003/lecture).
Then call the method findLectures(). This will print each lecture in the following format: Lecture position in page|Lecture ID|Lecture name.
Make sure you replace the link to where your lectures are listed. The above link has “https://class.coursera.org/algs4partII-003/lecture/” in it.

This howto is intended for those looking for better means to secure the Linux kernel, and the userland by the means of a powerful and simple role based access control policy.
grsecurity is an innovative approach to security utilizing a multi-layered detection, prevention, and containment model. It is a set of patches for the Linux kernel with an emphasis on enhancing security. Its typical application is in web servers and systems that accept remote connections from untrusted locations, such as systems offering shell access to its users.
This tutorial briefly gives you an introduction on using grsecurity. The grsecurity wikibook is written by the creator(Bradley Spengler) of the subject in discussion.
To test grsecurity’s features, we’ll setup gentoo hardened in a virtual machine using QEMU. Let’s get QEMU installed.
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xe2c8c9c9.
For networking, choose the DHCP method. We’ll discuss how to create custom rules for ssh.
Install the kernel source: =sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6.38 and =sys-apps/gradm-2.2.2.201103262019 . If necessary, unmask them.
Kernel config for the QEMU envionment is listed as follows.
That’s all that’s essential, go ahead and drop extra things that just make the kernel fat. Make sure you disable Paravirtualized guest support under Processor type and features in any case. Enabling that causes the system to not boot.
Exit the chroot. Unmount the filesystem, and prepare it for booting. DO NOT unmount anything yet.
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 18 sectors are embedded.
Now startup the virtual machine.
This should bring up an ncurses based UI to the VM.
If you’ve noticed from the kernel configuration, you’ve set restrict /proc to user only. Create a user unauth login to it. top will show you only the processes owned by that user. ls /proc will confirm that. Further dmeg will tell you Operation not permitted. These are just a few basic security enhancements. You can go ahead and set the custom profile in the kernel config and setup the system as you like. For now, we’ll discuss the RBAC system of grsecurity.
gradm is a tool to enable, disable, and control the RBAC system of grsecurity. It is a very powerful tool. Let’s start from the beginning, setting passwords, and enabling the full learning process.
Use gradm -P to set the master password. This is used to disable and reload the RBAC mechanism. gradm -P to set the password of any user role defined in the policy file.
You’ll see many entries when you so some specific resource actions. Example, uptime, wget. Lots of entries are generated. System packages need only to be installed under the role of admin. So login to role admin, and install a package. Restarting the sshd service is a good idea too.
Once the full learning process is done, or rather you’ve done everything that you don’t want access to in the user role admin, its time to generate the policy. For desktop users, you may want to run the full learning process for a day or two. First disable it, then generate the policy and append it to the default policy.
Beginning full learning subject reduction for user sshd...done.
Beginning full learning object reduction for subject /sbin/rc...done.
Beginning full learning object reduction for subject /usr/bin/wget...done.
Beginning full learning object reduction for subject /usr/sbin/sshd...done.
Duplicate object found for "/lib64" in role shutdown, subject /, on line 257 of /etc/grsec/policy.
specified on an earlier line. The RBAC system will not load until this error is fixed.
Duplicate role admin on line 463 of /etc/grsec/policy.
The RBAC system will not be allowed to be enabled until this error is fixed.
This duplicate is because the default policy which is put in place by installing gradm, contains an admin role already. So go to those lines and comment them.
If you see an error like the following, then you have to add the variable $grsec_denied to that particular role.
e allowed to be enabled.
I’ll explain roles, subjects, objects and modes later further down in this tutorial. For now, search for the string “role root” in the policy file, and follow downwards from there, untill you come to -CAP_ALL, add $grsec_denied just before that.
Viola! The RBAC system is running flawlessly!
Reload the RBAC system, you should be able to ssh now. There are still a few errors in the logs. You can simply add the two following lines to fix them.
This should fix everything that ssh needs access to.
The letter ‘u’ follows the username mentioned to indicate that it is a user. ‘g’ can be used for groups. Attributes include transitions, ip_allow, etc. A complete detail of this is found on the grsecurity wikibook.
Subjects have members called objects to define what access does the subject in question have. There are various modes here too. The ‘o’ in the first subject is to make sure inheritance is not followed from the default policy or user policy.
Once your familiar with the policy file, reinstall the default one, and use the include directive in the main policy file to include a certain directory containing policies for different users/subjects etc.
Make the policy as restrictive as possible, there are many features that haven’t been touched in this tutorial, read the grsecurity wikibook for a complete hands on grsecurity.
Keep things simple, keep to the alphabetic order.
Create a policy and directory structure the way your comfortable with.
In the beginning of the policy file, there are lot of details about the present RBAC system, read them.
Run a command in a utsname namespace with a new hostname. You can essentially chroot with a desired hostname and fool a user.
I’ve simply built RPM packages for this neat little utility. The source and package are found below.
Visit the project’s home page for further clarifications.
What if you decided that you wanted to experiment and test within a chroot(ed) environment? And then something went wrong and you had to start all over again from scratch? Big headache, too much pain, especially with RPM based distributions.
Well don’t do that then, here’s an interesting approach. Use aufs2, a stackable filesystem. An actual filesystem with “RAID-like” support.
You can inherit different environmental settings from various bases, much like the concept of object oriented programming.
Setup aufs2. You need to patch your kernel. For gentoo, you can just merge sys-fs/aufs2 with the following flags: “fuse inotify kernel-patch kernel_linux ramfs -debug -hardened -hfs -nfs”. The patch will be automatically applied, you just need to recompile it after merging. For other distributions, take a look at the homepage of aufs2.
Setup your chroot as you normally do. Let’s say you’ve setup centos in a chroot environment, for developing. You’ve done yum groupinsall “Development Libraries” “Development Tools”. Let’s create a snapshot here of this environment.
Now, env1 is RO, any changes now are further written to env2, keeping the structuring of every little change intact, just as the first. If you want to suddenly use env1, don’t add env2 to the RW branch, any branch that doesn’t have anything in front of it, is assumed to be RW, read-write.
What happens when you delete a file/directory from a branch mounted as RO? A file called .wh.filename is created in the RW branch, indicating to the overlaying filesystem to NOT index that file anymore.
In this way, you could create several different environments, each being inheriting a base, and then depending on the needs, the other environments created.
You can comment if you get any errors, I’d be glad to help you out. | 2019-04-26T06:12:07 | https://judepereira.com/blog/category/linux/ |

A normal centralized server-based model consist of a multiple nodes which communicates with the server. The function of a server is to send requested data to the client and the function of the client is to receive that data. But in peer to peer network there are no fixed servers.
In P2P the work is distributed among the peers. These peers are equally privileged participants in application. In this network each computer shares it resources with the other nodes in the network.
Example: Torrents uses a peer to peer sharing, there are no centralized servers. A computer or node downloads the data through the resources of other nodes and then shares the downloaded data with other nodes, here it acts both as a client as well as a server and all the nodes in the network use the same program to connect with each other for sharing data.

About a month ago, my husband and I whisked our kids away for a mini-vacation. We stayed in the Casitas (which were so nice and relaxing away from the main hotel) at Morongo, about an hour away from South Orange County.
Morongo is about 30 minutes from Palm Springs, so it's desert weather and extremely tough on anyone's skin because of the dry 100+ degree heat and super strong winds (there are sand storms on the regular!). Luckily, before we left for Morongo, Neocell sent me a bunch of press samples, including this dry weather essential, "On the Go Moisture Complex: Refreshing Herbal Mist".
Any moment my face felt hot and tight under the sun, or while walking through the strong winds to the main pool from our casitas, I'd spritz a couple pumps on my face and my skin felt immediately refreshed and less tight.
After I came home from our little vacay, I liked to use a couple sprays after applying my ELF translucent powder. I love how the mist makes my makeup look ever so slightly more natural. I get that nice finish with just a bit of dewiness -- like I just got my makeup done and did a few jumping jacks.
The Neocell spray contains rosemary, an ingredient that stood out to me. So, I did a little research on the benefits of including that particular essential oil in the Neocell face mist. Well, I found out that rosemary is widely used in aromatherapy for stimulating the brain, improving memory, and mental clarity (my mommy brain is definitely needing all of that). It is also used in the treatment of congested respiratory tract problems, stiff muscles, and boosting liver and gall bladder. So, not only does the Neocell face mist refresh, it has a bunch of other health benefits like treating stuffy noses and waking your brain up!
Since, I started beauty blogging I have been introduced to so many wonderful products I would have never gone out of my way to try. I am a creature of habit, and would have been too shy to try face mists not knowing how my acne-prone skin would react. Thanks to Neocell, face mists are now an essential in my purse!
Have you tried face mists? What are your favorites? What ingredients do you look for?
Ingredients: Water, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, soluble collagen, rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis) extract, rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis) oil, polysorbate 20, horse chestnut (aesculus hippocastanum) seed extract, retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), tocopherol (vitamin E), inositol, calcium pantothenate, linoleic acid, biotin, calendula (calendula officinalis) flower extract, chamomile (anthemis nobilis) flower extract, linden (tilia cordata) extract, cornflower (centaurea cyanus) flower extract, matricaria (chamomilla recutita) flower extract, hypericum (hypericum perforatum) extract, butylene glycol, PEG-35 castor oil, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, sodium benzoate.
Did you know it only takes 26 seconds for your blood stream to absorb what you apply topically?
That is why it is important to think about what ingredients are in your skin care and other beauty products you apply topically.
I came across Manomai when I first started beauty blogging, and truly became fascinated with their approach to skin care. I reached out to them, and they kindly agreed to send me a press sample to review for you guys.
Manomai's founder is a believer in Dr. Peter D'Adamo's Blood-type Diet, which basically consists of eating the right foods for your blood type, in turn making you healthier and lose weight. She wanted a moisturizer that aligned with her beliefs in the Blood Type Diet, but also met her strict guidelines: pareben-free, mineral oil-free, fragrance free, cruelty-free, and artificial color free.
So, she developed 4 moisturizers with 4 special blends to uniquely match each of the blood types -- the Around-the-Clock Facial Serum. Cool, right?!
Manomai says each Blood Type group have different weakness when it comes to their skin. For instance, people with O Blood Type, like me, have typically "oily [skin] with larger pores. Type O's skin has an impressive ability to withstand the cold but the ability to protect itself from the sun is not very good. Compared to other blood types, Type O’s skin is more likely to dry up". (Pretty dead on! I hate my pores, and you guys know I always complain about being dry!) Therefore, to combat O Blood Type dryness, the Around the Clock Facial Serum for O Blood Types contains seaweed extract (Algae Extract) which is rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids to keep skin healthy and youthful.
Although, the Around-the-Clock Facial serum is called a serum, it can be used alone or applied underneath your favorite moisturizer morning and night. To apply, I take two pumps of the serum in between my fingers to warm it up a bit. Then, I gently pat the serum onto my face with my fingertips like I discussed in my Serum 101 article. I let it dry for a couple minutes, and then I pat on my moisturizer.
NO ADVERSE EFFECTS. The first thing I consider when I review any beauty product is whether the product caused any adverse skin effects like breakouts, rashes, itchiness, etc. The Manomai Around-the-Clock Serum did not cause any breakouts or rashes. Despite its range in potent ingredients, it worked seamlessly with the skin products in my current routine, and I did not experience any interactions.
is all I need for my entire face and neck.
SUPER LIGHT. I like how light the Manomai serum feels on my skin. Manomai is based out of Thailand where it is very hot and humid. So, it totally makes sense that they create a moisturizer that is not heavy and can be worn comfortably in even the stickiest and sweatiest climate.
FEELS LIKE SKIN. The Manomai formula is fluid and silky and doesn't make your skin tacky or greasy so it's great to wear by itself on those #barefaced days! When it dries, it just feels like your own skin, but firmer and smoother. So, it's also perfect to layer under your moisturizer and SPF.
NUTRIENT AND VITAMIN-RICH INGREDIENTS. Each formula is uniquely developed to target the ailments of each blood type group, but all are extremely well-rounded and nutrient-packed. For example, the O Blood Type formula contains a mouthful of potent extracts like seaweed, guava leaf, willow bark and cherry extract. It also contains jojoba oil and organic argan oil to promote cell regeneration, skin suppleness and elasticity, and prevent dryness.
The Around-the-Clock formulas are superb, but the pump has room for improvement. The pump is a little stiff, but has a spring, so when you pump it almost splatters out. I would love to see the serum come with a smoother pump that allows for more control on how much you pump out.
Secondly, the jar the serum comes in is this beautiful, frosted GLASS! When I was going to take pictures and videos for this review, I dropped the serum onto my wood floor and the bottle broke. I am so heartbroken! All that wasted product!! I did my best to swipe up what I could and quickly slathered my arms and legs -- I did not want all that precious serum to go to waste.... :( I would love to see the serum come in a thick, luxurious plastic that can withstand a few drops every now and then.
RECOMMENDED: All-in-all this is a high-quality moisturizer and serum that potentially will change the way we conceptualize skin care. For my O blood type, the Manomai Around-the-Clock serum agreed with my skin. It is a well-rounded serum that is chock full of beneficial nutrients that work to combat almost every skin ailment from dryness to fine lines. It has also been approved by the FDA-Thailand.

What do you think? Should we do away with the traditional normal, oily, combination skin categories, and evolve to blood typing skin care? | 2019-04-25T08:03:58 | http://www.mshealthyface.com/2014/08/ |

A client of mine was describing his life long struggle with stress and his infrequent bouts with happiness. He "wished" that happiness was something that could be built like a house. Turns out...it can be.
Even if you have some genetic predisposition towards being unhappy, this does not mean that it cannot be overcome. "Growing research demonstrates persuasively that we can overcome our genetic programming." (Lyubomirsky, The How of Happiness) Plus, research is showing that genetics only impact 50% of our ability to be happy anyway. 40% of our happiness can be built by intentional activity. 10% of life circumstance effects our happiness. That is, as a counterintuitive example, the wealthiest American who make over $10,000,000 annually are only very slightly happier than their "office staff and blue-collar workers they employ."
"Is it crazy to question how much money you need to be happy? The notion that money can’t buy happiness has been around a long time — even before yoga came into vogue. But it turns out there is a measurable connection between income and happiness; not surprisingly, people with a comfortable living standard are happier than people living in poverty.
The catch is that additional income doesn’t buy us any additional happiness on a typical day once we reach that comfortable standard. The magic number that defines this “comfortable standard” varies across individuals and countries, but in the United States, it seems to fall somewhere around $75,000. Using Gallup data collected from almost half a million Americans, researchers at Princeton found that higher household incomes were associated with better moods on a daily basis — but the beneficial effects of money tapered off entirely after the $75,000 mark."
So, what do builders of happy do...exactly? | 2019-04-21T14:53:22 | https://www.windriverstrategies.net/blog/myth-3-youre-either-happy-or-youre-not |

Price will include Eurostar Standard Premier, 4 star hotel, buffet breakfast, 3-course dinner with drinks each evening, all entrance fees and expert guide throughout.
Less of a battlefield tour but more of a behind the lines exploration, this tour focuses on the heroic and often untold stories of those men and women who dedicated themselves to helping and saving the fighting men of the Great War. Numerous Medics and Padres won the highest military honours for gallantry including the Victoria and Military Cross, and we’ll hear about a number of these acts of heroism throughout the tour. Based in Ypres, which became a major hub behind the front line for the British and Commonwealth forces throughout the war, you can get a feel of life away from the trenches and the incredible work that was done there to ensure the wounded and shell shocked were treated and returned home safely.
Because of its industrial nature, the number of casualties in the First World War was on a scale never seen before. However, if you were wounded your chances of survival were high: that is if you could be evacuated into the casualty system quickly – from regimental aid post to advanced dressing station, to casualty clearing station, to base hospital, hospital ship and then on to England. The stories of those men and women who were involved in these processes have received more attention in recent years but they still come under the umbrella of ‘unsung heroes’. Some of the names that we come across on this tour such as ‘Woodbine Willie’, John McCrae and Vera Brittain, have become well known but we also pay tribute to the countless doctors, nurses, VAD’s, stretcher bearers, orderlies and padres who provided treatment, care and comfort to the men on the front-line.
"I would recommend Cultural Experience to anyone with a whiff of interest in this, or other military subjects, and I will most certainly be using CE again"
This afternoon we learn of the Women of Pervyse who ran a dressing station immediately behind the front line until they were gassed in 1918. At Essex Farm we visit the place where Dr. John McCrea wrote his famous poem In Flanders Fields in 1915, and the dressing station bunkers constructed in 1917 for the Battle of Passchendaele to discuss how casualties were evacuated and treated during the Battle. Check-in to our hotel in Ypres for three nights and attend the Menin Gate ceremony.
We tell the story of Dr. Noel Chavasse who was awarded the Victoria Cross twice, and how Rev. Harold Ackroyd won his VC visiting his grave at Birr Cross Roads Cemetery. We will also hear of the heorics of Willie Doyle MC whose commemorated at Tyne Cot Cemetery, Rev. Noel Mellish VC , Studdert Kennedy MC known as Woodbine Willie, and Rev. Theodore Bailey Hardy VC. After lunch we will take an evening walking tour of Ypres including Little Toc H, Ramparts Dressing Station and the Wipers Times.
The Hop Store casualty clearing station at Vlamertinghe and the work of Rev. Charles Doudney. The work of Casualty Clearing Stations during the Passchendaele offensive at Brandhoek and Lijssenthoek Cemeteries, the graves of Noel Chavasse and Nurse Nellie Spindler (killed by shell-fire), and Charles Doudney. This afternoon we move onto Poperinghe and visit the famous soldiers’ hostel Talbot House (‘Toc H’), run by the legendary Tubby Clayton and preserved almost unchanged.
Drive to Wimereux to explore the cliff top sites of hospitals where Alexander Fleming worked on streptococcus infections, and the British Cemetery for the graves of Dr. John and other medical staff. To Étaples for the breath-taking British Cemetery and the site of the hospital where Vera Brittain worked as a VAD Nurse. Our last stop is at Le Touquet to see the site of the Duchess of Westminster's hospital, then, as now, a casino. Return to London St Pancras by Eurostar. | 2019-04-20T00:26:36 | https://www.theculturalexperience.com/tours/medics-and-padres-history-tour |
While Egypt and Tunisia received the most scholarly attention after the Arab uprisings, Islamist parties in Morocco, Yemen, and, importantly, Indonesia and Malaysia, have all played important roles in government that have, so far, received only limited attention. Malaysia and Indonesia are often held up as “models” of Islam and democracy, but, as we see in Joseph Liow’s fascinating working paper on Southeast Asia, more Shariah ordinances have been passed in these two countries than in Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey, or Morocco. Southeast Asia might be a model of something, but it is very much not an example of the virtues of secularization or even, for that matter, the victory of liberalism, or something like it, over Islamism.
There are also new areas of inquiry that have become all the more vital in a post-Arab Spring world, including how Islamists view the viability of gradualist approaches to political change. The use of violence receives the most attention for obvious reasons, but the willingness to use tactical or situational violence is embedded in a broader debate about the nature of political change in contexts where violence becomes normalized.
In recent decades, mainstream Islamist movements had increasingly adopted “elections-first” strategies, devoting organizational resources and attention to electoral politics at the expense of social outreach and religious education (Steven Brooke’s paper on Egypt focuses on the role of social service provision in the Brotherhood’s changing strategy). But the era of electoral politics has passed.
How do Islamists adapt to a world where elections are of increasingly marginal importance? We now have several cases of movements adapting to contexts where the currency of politics is violence. The most striking cases are Syria and Libya, where Brotherhood affiliates have proceeded down an uncertain path, allying themselves with local armed groups or attempting to form their own militias. As Raphaël Lefèvre explains in his paper on Syria, debates over the use of violence in the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood have been contentious. The experiment of funding and supporting allied militias in Syria—“The Shields”—has been a failure, demonstrating the difficulty the Brotherhood has had in shifting from its traditional strengths to something it doesn’t do particularly well.
What these papers demonstrate is that everyone learns lessons, but that’s different than learning the right lessons. | 2019-04-24T02:16:32 | https://www.brookings.edu/blog/markaz/2015/09/08/why-we-need-to-rethink-political-islam/?share=google-plus-1 |

I have posted about our fun tonight in being able to serve gluten-free hambergers - on buns! Go to my blog at http://homeschoolblogger.com/armoorefam/.
to isolate only my celiac related articles, or locate the entry for November 15, 2005.
The Smiles (a fun gluten-free type of french fry that looks like smiley faces) are made by a company called McCain. Our local super Walmart carries these. The buns are cornstarch and potato flour buns from Grandma Feldon's (dedicated gluten free facility).
Where did you get the hamburger buns at? I wasn't sure if the buns came from Wal Mart also or just the fries. Thanks.
I was wondering where you got the buns, too I would love a hamburger on a real bun instead of toast!
"Crispy Outside, Mashed Potatoes Inside." That pretty well describes it. Theses are quite flavorful. Everyone loves them in my family, especially the kids - I have 4 children. To me, they actually remind me of the flavor and texture of a fried bread - kinda like the batter on a good corndog but smoother.
McCain has a web page. Right after we tasted our first batch out of the oven, I looked them up to thanked them for making such a tasty product and expressing my gratitude that they made seasoned fries with rice rather than wheat flour. They sent me several coupons to get their products free. I thought that was pretty gracious of them.
The price for the buns were not to bad - six of them for $4 and something. The only shipping option is overnight though, so that can bring the total order $$$ up pretty fast. They arrived the very next day after we got a shipping confirmation. The products arrived in a box with a really nice styrofoam cooler to contain the products - which we are going to save for gluten-free day travel snacks in the car. Everything was cool to the touch. No worries about getting product that has overheated in transport.
I just went ahead and ordered a few other items with the buns to make me feel like the shipping was spread out over several items - wierd logic, huh? I also got brown rice lasagne noodles (which I am going to make into lasagne tonight. I will let you know how they do), potato starch, and guar gum. I haven't tried baking with any baking product I cannot get at WalMart, so the guar gum binder and potato starch will be my 'experimentals'.
armoorefam, Thanks for the info. Today, I'm ordering the Biscuit Mix, Hamburger Buns, and Cinnamon Rolls. I'm excited! I think you will enjoy baking with the potato starch. I bake with rice flour and the addition of the potato starch makes things softer and I find they don't dry out as fast. You have to play with the amounts a bit, but I've had good luck with it. The gums also add a lot of moistness to baked goods (you don't need too much). I've never tried the McCain potatoes, but they sound good, as well. Thanks again for a lot of great ideas.
Grandma Ferdons website looked really promising until I found out they don't ship to Alaska. Is there anywhere that anyone knows of to get good tasting buns and bread. Right now I use Tapioca bread from energy foods. It's fine for most things but it's not the same. Any suggestions?
Glad to see this thread again so I can report that I did get the Grandma Ferndons Hamburger Buns, biscuit mix, cinnamon rolls and the McCain fries, too. The buns were fabulous! The cinnamon rolls were good, but you need to add your own frosting. Without it, they're a little bland. Shipping was 19.99--but the buns were worth it--I couldn't take another hamburger on toast! Yaso--Kinnikinnick has buns and breads. Don't know if they ship to Alaska. A lot of people here like their stuff--I've never tried it--although I'm thinking of trying their buns as their shipping is 1/2 of what Ferndons is.
Thanks for the info. They appear to ship to Alaska. | 2019-04-22T15:03:18 | https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/11219-oh-yes-hamburgers-hamburgers/ |
Imaginatively illustrated using a mix of paper-cut collages, sketches, portraits and old family photographs, The House Baba Built by Caldecott Medalist Ed Young tells the story of the author's childhood in war-time Shanghai. Although it is being billed as a children's book, The House Baba Built will appeal to multiple audiences. Born in China, Ed Young moved to the United States of America in 1951 to study architecture but was quickly drawn to the world of art instead. He has written and illustrated several picture-books since 1962, such as a Chinese version of Little Red Riding Hood, Lon Po Po, The Emperor and the Kite, and Seven Blind Mice. The House Baba Built is written in collaboration with Libby Koponen. The memoir is both a tribute to Young's father and a cultural and historical document on the effects of the Second Sino-Japanese war.
Worried for his family's safety, Young's father, an engineer by profession, convinces a rich landowner to let him built a brick house on his land, which happens to be in the safest part of Shanghai -- near the embassies. In return, he asks only that his family be allowed to live there for twenty years -- long enough for his five young children to grow up and for the war to run its course. Remarkably, the landowner agrees and “Baba,” as Young calls his father, sets about designing and building the house.
The house he builds is a fortress at first and, as the years go by, Young and his siblings' fertile imagination transforms the house into an entire world unto itself. These worlds are fantastical creations where rocking chairs turn into horses and terraces turn into skating rinks. Much like the house itself, these pages are like little rooms that, when opened up, reveal a hidden anecdote or observation. The book also contains street maps, floor plans and pictures of the house as it stands today.
While the story is told through Young's eyes and is a homage to his father, it is the house itself that is the story's main character. Just like its inhabitants, who change over the years, the house also undergoes several changes. As new refugees move in with the Youngs, Baba adds rooms and wings to the existing structure to house the incoming residents. The first to arrive are Young's aunt, uncle and two grown-up cousins. The terrace, which doubled as a skating rink for Young and his siblings, is converted into an apartment for the new arrivals. Later on with the arrival of the Leudeckes, a German couple and their baby, Jean, Baba puts together an apartment for them out of the children's bedrooms.
The vignettes and anecdotes paint a picture of a carefree childhood where days were spent fighting crickets, trading silkworm eggs, riding bikes in the empty swimming pool and picnicking. These stories are told in simple, straight forward prose. However, lest we walk away from this book feeling that it paints a glossy and sheltered pictured of war-time China, Young chooses to remind us of the violence outside in small ways.
While the stories are humorous and poignant, what is most unique about the book is Young's choice of artistic materials. Using a creative blend of collages, old photographs and pencil and ink portraits to tell his story, the author implies that one's memory of events does not really present the truth of those events. What we remember is colored by the mind's ability to reorder events, assign personal meanings to them and revise entire sequences to fit in with our own perception. Young himself remarks in his Author's Note that he “also learned to come to terms with the limits of human efforts in recreating reality -- any human creation, no matter its completeness or point of view, is at best a mere fragment of life itself.” In keeping with that idea, Young populates the pages with family portraits right next to cut-outs and photographs pasted onto sketches.
The world that Baba created for his children allowed them to both withdraw from the horror of war as well as observe it from a safe distance. Ultimately, Young's memoir is a story of hope and of a father's decision to protect his family to the best of his ability.

The center is across Ridge Road from a number of established restaurants, including Carlos O’Kelly’s, Panera Bread, Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, Applebee’s and IHOP. Pie Five Pizza also recently opened there. Abuelo’s will be opening at the northeast corner of Taft and Ridge Road, which is south of Panera, this spring.
McAlister’s Deli, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Outback Steakhouse also are around the Maple and Ridge intersection.
He noticed something was missing, though.
Cold Stone sells ice cream, and Rocky Mountain Express has desserts such as caramel-dipped apples, chocolate-dipped strawberries and bananas and cheesecake.
His express LaMar’s will have coffee and cappuccino in addition to doughnuts.
Wessley also has Cold Stone stores at NewMarket Square at 21st and Maize Road and near 29th and Rock Road. The NewMarket location has a Rocky Mountain Express as well. Wessley also owns three full-size LaMar’s Donuts stores.
He hopes to open his new businesses by March 1.
Curt Robertson of InSite Real Estate Group handled the deal for the 1,505-square-foot space.
With Wessley’s lease, the retail center is almost full.
“I am pleased to report we are 92 percent occupied,” says InSite’s Dan Unruh.
He says there is 1,346 square feet left to lease between Wingstop and Cold Stone. There’s also a Great Clips at the center.
Unruh isn’t surprised at the number of restaurants that have been attracted to the area. He says he expected it.
He says it’s a mature shopping district with 70,000 cars a day passing by on Kellogg.
“You also have the benefit of several national hotels,” he says.
Any doubt left? Unruh suggests driving the area around lunch or dinner to check out the crowds at the restaurants that have already opened. | 2019-04-24T21:49:54 | https://www.kansas.com/news/business/biz-columns-blogs/carrie-rengers/article3421301.html |

Sidebar only shows under post..
Hi, for some reason the sidebar will not show on the side..It only shows underneath the post. This is in Firefox. Anyone else got this issue? Any thoughts on a quick fix.. Cheers.
Dear TR7P, Did you ever figure this problem out? I have this exact problem.
Hi there. I gave up on this template long ago as I couldn’t find a solid fix that worked in Firefox. It is a nice template but way more trouble than its worth.
I figured this out! Don’t give up on Simone, it’s a great theme!
Hi Susan, that’s great. Maybe the maker of the Simone theme should implement that fix into the template.

Before voiding the paycheck, make sure you have read through the information discussed under When to Void a Paycheck in the next paragraph. Then, once you have taken into account all considerations, if you still need to void the check, you will find the steps to do so here.
This process is used to void a paycheck that has already been printed or has already been assigned a check number. In this voiding process, the check is voided, and the payroll accumulations are automatically adjusted in the Payroll and Ledger & Payables modules. Additionally, a reversing Journal Entry is created.
If an error exists on an unprinted paycheck that does NOT have a check number associated with it, click the following link, Paycheck: Incorrect Amounts or Pay Item, to learn how to update these items and print the check.
The paycheck amount is not correct, the check has not been cashed, and a new paycheck must be issued to the employee. In this case, once the check has been voided you will use the normal payroll process to create a new paycheck for the employee.
The paycheck was lost, destroyed or otherwise damaged enough that it cannot be cashed. In this case, once the check has been voided you will use the normal payroll process to create a new paycheck for the employee.
The paycheck was created in error for an employee who should not receive a paycheck. In this case, no further steps are needed after the paycheck has been voided.
When voiding paychecks dated in the current Federal and State reporting periods, the generated payroll reports will have the correct payroll and withholding totals to prepare reports to the Federal, State, and other organizations.
When voiding paychecks dated in prior Federal and State reporting periods, amended Federal and State reports may need to be filed. Payroll reports may also need to be reprinted for the desired periods. The reprinted reports will differ from the original reports by the amounts on the voided paycheck.
Caution: If a paycheck is voided in error, the normal pay-cycle steps are taken to recreate that paycheck..
In ParishSOFT Accounting, click on the Payroll tab → Payroll Process and choose the payroll that has the check which needs to be voided.
Go to Step 6) Edit Paychecks to select the payroll check that needs to be Voided and click on the Void button. The absence of a void button at this point indicates the check has been cleared on a Bank Reconciliation. A cleared check may not be voided.
Once you click on the Void button a small popup will appear that asks you for a void date. The void date needs to be in the current accounting month and in an open Bank Reconciliation Period.
Click the Save button to void the check.
After voiding the check, click on Reports to reprint any payroll reports that you might need to reprint.
When you later process your Bank Reconciliation, you will mark both the original check and the voiding journal entry.
Mark the check as "Void" in the Payroll system.
Create a Journal Entry in the Ledger & Payables system to reverse the original check.
Adjust the employees' accumulations in the Payroll system.
If this payroll is still open: If necessary, update the timecard. Then, click the calculate button and move forward in the same payroll to generate checks. A new paycheck will be created for only the employees whose checks have been voided and who are still selected for this payroll.
If the payroll is closed: You must create a new payroll for just this employee. When you print reports, select all reports for the same payroll date to include all employees. | 2019-04-23T04:59:53 | https://support.parishsoft.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002121148 |

The new Reaktor line from Karas Pen Co. is zooming all over the world right now, and for good reason. They're affordable, durable, reliable, comfortable, and fun. I got to try out the Galaxie XL model, and since they sent four, I gave one to my tween and one to my husband to try as well.
I call my husband "the pen destroyer". Your standard ballpoint won't last a day in his pocket. Over the years I've bought him several tough and seemingly indestructible pens only to have him hand them back to me in pieces, smooshed, bent beyond use. So when I say he's been using this pen every day for over a month and it's still in excellent condition, I'm saying these pens will outlast us all. There will be Galaxie pens sticking up from the sand and ashes of civilization.
Karas Pen Co. created the Reaktor line to be simple and affordable. The Galaxie, at $45, is more than fairly priced for what you get. The pen comes in black, tumbled, or silver with either blue or red sections. All are machined aluminum.
They're fairly small pens--not quite pocket sized by my reckoning, but shorter and slimmer than most machined pens. They're shorter than a Retro 51 Tornado, though similar in width. The aluminum makes them fairly light, but hefty enough to feel like a substantial pen. I had no fatigue when writing with them, even for long stretches, and even with the pen posted. It's a very well balanced pen.
The cap closes with a satisfying click and the rings at the back end of the pen are designed to help it post securely and deeply. Because the parts are metal on metal, the cap does rattle a little both when closed and posted. I prefer not to post it when I'm writing for that reason. If you don't like that rattle and you have larger hands and prefer posting, this might not be the pen for you.
The clip is the classic bolted-on stainless steel "bulletproof" clip that Karas offers. This is the only part of the pen suffered in my husband's care. He managed to bend it sideways quite a bit--bulletproof is not David-proof, it seems, or perhaps I married Superman.
The grip is nicely contoured and very comfortable to hold. It didn't ever get too slippery or cramp my hand. The metal warmed up nicely as I wrote.
The Galaxie XL takes G2 style refills, which are easy to get in a variety of colors and tip sizes, so your options are well-covered.
The design is inspired by 1960s space race and automotive aesthetics, and it definitely has that vintage rocket feel to it. It's a very simple design, but elegantly done. My tween has declared that it "looks awesome". This is exceedingly high praise.
Probably my favorite thing about the Galaxie XL has been watching my dudes get attached to theirs. They aren't Pen Addicts. They think I'm nuts. But when I see my tween has a special spot on his desk just for this pen, and my hubby asking if he can have his pen back yet when I had to borrow it to take pictures of his poor clip--I know they really do understand how a pen can be special.

Alfred Dunhill is a premier luxury brand, recognized around the globe for it’s classic menswear and accessories. In fact, the parent company of Dunhill, Richemont, owns Montblanc as well, along with more than a dozen other high-end brands.
As a company, Dunhill became popular in the early 1900’s by tapping into the world’s newest fascination: automobiles. Dunhill didn’t make cars, but rather accessories for those who drove them. Goggles, coats, even a wind-proof pipe.
The pipe, and smoking accessories in general, was how I first became aware of the brand. Not that I have ever smoked, but there wasn’t a mall in the 1980’s or 1990’s where you didn’t see some sort of Dunhill presence. That market has changed over the past two decades, and Dunhill has changed right along with it, while remaining true to its origins.
You also cannot look at the price of this pen and not think “Wow” as well.
At $790, this is far and away the most expensive non-fountain pen I have ever reviewed. I was actually nervous when Dunhill reached out to me to review this pen, and paused for days, if not weeks, before committing to accepting this product from them.
I’ve spoken for years about what I call the “Montblanc Problem”, which is the phrase I use when you are paying for everything about a pen besides the writing experience. The refill is the least expensive part of the equation, which anyone can afford. The refill also fits in many other pen barrels, giving you the Montblanc writing experience without the Montblanc cost. The Montblanc/Pilot G2 hack is famous for this.
If money is no object, I would consider the Sentryman over any Montblanc rollerball I have seen. It is absolutely stunning. It feels great to write with. It looks great sitting on my desk, or clipped to a shirt pocket. It writes wonderfully (Unposted, that is. It is too heavy posted.) with the included Dunhill-branded Schmidt EasyFlow refills (International G2/Parker refill compatible). Price excluded, this is a 10 out of 10 pen.
But price can’t be excluded when making a purchasing decision. I’ve spent more on fountain pens, but my opinion is that I get more too. Do you get more when spending this much on a rollerball? That is for you to decide.
My thanks to Alfred Dunhill for sending me this pen at no charge for purposes of this review.

Back in 2014, I wrote about the iconic Lamy 2000 fountain pen, and talked about my love for the design and the writing experience of the pen. Well, here we are in 2016 and I've expanded my Lamy collection to include a Lamy 2000 rollerball. A lot about the rollerball is the same as the fountain pen version, but this one is obviously a bit more simple since it only has a rollerball cartridge inside. Even though there are a lot of differences between this and the fountain pen, it's a great pen that would be perfect for a lot of people looking for an elegant, classy, and reliable pen for daily use.
The Lamy 2000 is unique. There isn't another pen like it in design. It's sleek, modern, and welcoming at the same time. It looks like a pen meant to write, but classy at the same time. It works with casual and dress clothes splendidly. It always gets comments out in the wild.
I don't think it's fair to call this a "different" pen, since the exterior is completely identical aside from the nib area. When the pens are capped, it's difficult to determine which is which. From what I can tell, there's only one way to tell from the outside: the top of the cap has a small dimple in the rollerball version, whereas the fountain version is completely flat and smooth. The fountain pen version also feels like it might weigh a few grams more, but not much.
Obviously, it's pretty easy to tell them apart once the caps are off, but the differences are limited to the nib area only. The grip section is identical, the cap fitting is identical, and even the piston knob is identical. But, why does the rollerball version have a piston knob? Well, it's not actually a piston knob — just a section that screws off to give you access to the cartridge. But, the thing is the back cap is the same length and location as the piston knob, and equally difficult to notice when closed.
Saying that the attention to detail that went into the rollerball version of the 2000 is impressive almost does it justice. Lamy went above and beyond to ensure this looks every bit as classy, timeless, and modern as the older, more sophisticated cousin.
This is a rollerball that can stand its ground in any board room.
That's great that it looks just like the fountain pen version, but the fountain pen version writes so well (provided you don't have a faulty nib), right? Right, but that doesn't mean that the rollerball version has a bad writing experience. Quite the opposite, actually.
From what I can tell, Lamy sourced the cartridge through Schmidt, and we all know what that means. This is a smooth writer. Coming from the same company that provides the ever-so-glassy-smooth Retro 51 refills, this Lamy 2000 refill is no slouch. Lamy dubs it the M63, and it retails for $5.
Like the Retro 51 stock refill, the Lamy 2000 is also a 0.7mm size, and it is smooth and well-flowing. I'm a huge fan of Schmidt refills of all kinds, and this one is no exception. There really isn't anything I dislike about the way it writes — it's smooth, it always starts right away, never skips, and lays down a dark, crisp line of inky pitch black.
My only gripe is the line width, which is the same "problem" I have with the Retro 51 stock refill. To get a smaller size (like a 0.5 or so), you'll have to find the refill directly from Schmidt. While this is fairly easy for the Retro 51 refills (Schmidt P8127), the Lamy version can be a bit difficult to locate. From what I can tell from reading this Schmidt catalog (pg. 25), the Schmidt SRC5888F (0.6mm) and SRC5888M (0.7mm) refills would work in the Lamy 2000 if you had a small extension for the base — about 2mm long. Still, the price is about the same, so unless you want the slightly smaller tip size, I'd stick with the Lamy-branded refills.
If you're a fan of the Lamy 2000 design, but are looking for a non-fountain pen version, the rollerball is perfect for you. It's a bit cheaper than the fountain pen version, just over $100. It's not "cheap," but it's also a price that I feel is fair given the attention to detail, prestige of the 2000 line, and the beautiful design and writing experience.
If you're nervous about jumping on a Lamy 2000 because you're new to fountain pens, this might be the perfect entry point into fine pens.

For those hosts looking to spice up their next party, the Vodka Zinger will be your perfect wingman. Use all-natural ingredients to create fresh-tasting, healthy cocktails with no added sugars or artificial ingredients. "Bartend" your guests beverages by infusing vodka with citrus fruits, strawberry, cucumber, hot pepper, raspberry, pineapple, rosemary... or Zing-up your own unique drink.
While vodka is the most Zing-friendly choice, any spirit can be Zinged, and the Vodka Zinger travel cap lets you conveniently take the party to-go.
Infusing vodka is a great way to enjoy a drink without the excess sugars, or artificial juices and mixers that lead to hangovers. Zing Anything would like to remind you, when Zinging with vodka or any other liquor, please drink responsibly.
Note: The Vodka Zinger is different than the Aqua Zinger in that it has a finer mesh screen so that less pulp enters the spirit, and the top wide opening allows for easy pouring into a bar glass.
The stainless steel bottle has a bottom-mounted grinder that retains the ground pulp of your ingredients, but allows the pure extracted flavors to travel through a fine-combed mesh screen and infuse the water.
All you need to do is add fresh ingredients, twist, and shake!
Now you are ready to enjoy! When you screw on the bottom cup, the blades simultaneously grind the ingredients, releasing flavorful juices and allowing them to seep into the spirits. Zing!
The recommended shelf life of Vodka Zings is seven days, if refrigerated. All mixtures should stay refrigerated after mixing. If you plan to consume your Zing creation within 12 hours, chilling is not required.
Vodka Zings typically produce one flavor infusion per Zing. After this infusion is consumed, empty the Zinger completely, clean, and discharge used ingredients before Zinging a new batch of flavored vodka.
Vodka Zings have a more robust flavor after one-three hours of steeping. Longer infusion times provide for a stronger and more noticeable flavor. | 2019-04-23T04:30:26 | http://zinganything.com/product/vodkazinger |
Nah, they’ll ruin our fun.
Mm maybe pacing in general - it’s hard for writers to do right when they might not have the whole story plotted out, but it impacts everything. For example, too many cliff hangers, too much info dumping, or even dialogue. Because of the way people write on this platform, that seems to be what is impacted most. That said, pacing is hard for any writer.
@Kkundell are you a writer too?
Why was I summoned here?
I would like to request a platypus emoji, if that’s possible. If it’s not, it’s okay as well.
Oof here. Pacing was one thing I rushed in my first story. Thankfully readers told me my pacing was much better in the second project I’m working on. It’s always nice to see readers comparing things for both books so you can improve on them in other projects.
They were trying to determine who we were going to summon.
We also need a horse one for @ModernWaterRider or a dragon one.
I agree, I always wonder if I started in the right place.
By the way, is that you in your pfp, Keely?
Okay, how should I get it to you? | 2019-04-26T02:07:09 | https://www.wattpadwriters.com/t/keely-from-wattpad-hq-saying-hello/88764?page=4 |
The YAG laser is meant to remove the central zone of cloudy posterior capsule behind the intraocular lens. Sometimes after the cataract surgery, laser treatment is needed to permanently eliminate vision loss due to posterior capsule opacification.
A cataract has an outer coating and an inner nucleus. When an ophthalmologist performs cataract surgery, the surgeon makes a circular opening in the front facing capsule to remove the inner nucleus.
The remaining capsular envelope is meant to support the new artificial lens injected in. Over time, the capsule shrinks & wraps around the new lens just like the shrink wrap.
Since the capsule has live cells, some of those may develop a layer of new cells forming a frosting on the back surface that’s known as posterior capsular opacification (PCO).
This type of after-cataract might occur in 10% of patients after cataract surgery. That frosted layer can be considered as the frost on a window that blurs the view through the window, and the same happens through the new lens.
There’s no exact time as the PCO occur at any time after surgery including either a few weeks or months later.
In some of the cataract surgeries, an adherent plaque might be present on the capsule, and a surgeon might prefer to leave it rather than risk tearing the capsule. In such cases, it’s imperative to get the early treatment in order to clear the frosting.
The YAG laser surgery used to clear the frosting from the back surface. As confirmed by a huge number of patients, the YAG laser treatment is painless and is easily completed from outside the eye without taking too long.
During the treatment, your ophthalmologist will use a magnifying contact lens in order to aim the YAG laser at the frosted layer.
During the treatment, you’ll see flashes and hear a clicking sound. It’s all because the pupil has to be dilated before the YAG laser is performed to have a good view of the lens surface.
Once the treatment is complete, you’ll be prescribed a short course of anti-inflammatory along with some pressure drops.
You’ll start feeling the improved vision within a day like most other patients. Normally, YAG laser is needed once as the capsule doesn’t regrow after it’s vaporized by the YAG Laser.
The complications after YAG laser are very rare and few. Rarely, the complications include retinal swelling, raised eye pressure, vitreous floaters, lens damage and very retinal detachment.
It’s common to have a new floater in the eye after the surgery.
YAG laser posterior capsulotomy isn’t used or meant to prevent clouding of the back lining of the lens capsule (posterior capsule opacification). One just can’t determine who will get clouds in the back of the eye after undergoing the cataract surgery.
Notably, there’re some lenses used in the surgery to remove the cataract that can lower the risk and even the need for further laser surgery. Like with cataract surgery, it’s imperative to weigh the risks as well as possible benefits of laser capsulotomy before planning to undergo surgery. | 2019-04-18T18:59:48 | http://genersys-solar.us/why-patients-may-need-yag-laser-post-cataract-surgery/ |

The incumbent governor of Anambra state, Chief Willie Obiano and his predecessor, Mr. Peter Obi, have been described as two of the greatest leaders in Nigeria.
This was the opinion of specialist in pain management in Las Vegas, United States of America, Prof Godwin Maduka.
He said what the country needs now are leaders with vision, compassion, drive discipline and confidence.
Maduka, who was the chairman during the recent retreat and book launch, organized by the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA at Finotel hotel resort in Awka, Anambra state.
He said the party had been able to thrive in the state and indeed Nigeria because of the leadership qualities of former national chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh, the current national chairman, Dr Victor Oye and Governor Obiano.
“APGA is a party that can boast of some of the most visionary Governors Nigeria has ever produced in the persons of Mr. Obi and Chief Willie Obiano,” Maduka said. | 2019-04-21T16:11:26 | https://www.enternigeria.com/2018/09/22/obiano-obi-two-greatest-leaders-in-nigeria/ |

In order to perform a search you need to confirm that you read the methodology applied.
An accident happened in a power plant while pipe cleaning. Purging natural gas was used for cleaning and it is deemed to be the cause of the accident. The event motivated the recommendation of other alternatives that are already used in the sector: air, nitrogen or special cleaning devices.
Substitution of methyl chloroform (1,1,1 trichloroethane) by isopropanol and heptane for the spot-washing has been carried out by a textile company ,as part of a more complex process that included waste and emissions reduction. In this process biphenyl, tetrachloroethylene and trichlorobenzene were also substituted, but the alternative (methylnaphthalene) does not pass SUBSPORT screening criteria according to self-classifications.
An old paper company innovated its process for pH adjustment in the recycling process. After numerous laboratory and on-site trails, liquid carbon dioxide was used efficiently instead of sulphuric acid.
Substitution of N,N-dimethylformamide with ethanol in analysis of alkaline phosphatases in leukocytes.
N,N-dimethylformamide is used in a method to measure activity of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase in leukocytes. N,N-dimethylformamide is specifically used as a solvent to prepare a substrate solution for the method and can easily be substituted with ethanol without any changes in the procedure. The only difference is that ethanol is slightly slower as a solvent than N,N-dimethylformamide.
Trichloroethylene was used in a plant that manufactures car parts to clean steel parts of the air conditioning and assisted driving systems. Trichloroethylene was replaced by a closed washing system based on soap and water.
An “alternatives assessment” methodology developed by TURI was used to evaluate the technical, economic, and environmental, health and safety feasibility of alternatives to the five chemicals for selected uses: lead, formaldehyde, tetrachloroethylene, hexavalent chromium, Di(2-ethylhexyl)phathalate (DEHP).
A textile company used Superfluide P, a product containing perchloroethylene (also known as tetrachloroethylene) for garment cleaning and in the maintenance service. After the intervention of trade union health and safety expert, the product was replaced by a safer alternative containing isoalkanes C11-C15.
The company produces metal parts by high precision cutting. Manufacturing includes the use of cutting fluids as coolants and lubricants that facilitate the process and the subsequent trimming of parts. Metal parts were then washed / degreased with trichloroethylene.
The company installed a water-based cleaning machine to substitute trichloroethylene at the end of each trimming process.
Formaldehyde is an organic compound used as a tissue fixative for microscopy and histology. Formaldehyde was substituted by a product containing: ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and acetic acid under the commercial name Fixall-his.
The document presents five case stories, experiences, where plating companies using perchloroethylene have substituted it with safer alternatives. Three of the platers were using perchloroethylene (PERC) degreasers to remove non-destructive testing fluids and two were using the degreasers to clean oil and buffing compound from the parts.
Four of the companies substituted PERC with water-based cleaners. One company opted to substitute acetone handwiping for PERC vapor degreasing. That company uses the acetone to remove oil and buffing compound.
This case story presents the substitution of the product Safety Clean (a universal solvent containing toluene, xylene and naphthas, among other agents). The degreasing compound was used to clean working tools in an auto repair shop.
Danish furniture manufacturers use lacquers that cure by means of ultraviolet radiation as the most frequent surface treatment of wooden furnitures. A shift in monomer and acrylates with a higher molecular weight means that the acute toxicity of the UV lacquers is reduced. The monomer and binder replacements could be performed without considerable technical or financial consequences for the varnish manufacturer – and further for the end user.
A residential institution for elderly used a disinfectant that contained, among other substances, triclosan and 2-butoxyethanol, classified as group 2B and 3 carcinogens respectively by the IARC). One of the workers suffered from throat irritation and respiratory problems. The disinfectant was substituted by a product based on didecyldimethylammonium chloride and ethoxylated alcohols, which have no significant effects on human health.
A naphtha-based solvent was used to clean printing rolls. It contained naphtha (carcinogens), 2-butoxyetanol (endocrine disruptor and neurotoxicant) and volatile organic compounds.
The product was handled manually on a regular basis which implied a dangerous practice. It was substituted by another solvent with no significant impact on human health.
A printing vocational training facility used trichloroethylene for the cleaning and washing of printing rolls. Trichloroethylene is a known carcinogen, endocrine disruptor and neurotoxicant. Several options were assessed and eventually trichloroethylene was substituted by a coconut oil-based compound. | 2019-04-25T03:45:31 | https://www.subsport.eu/case-stories?s_all=all |
Edgar Salmingo had a degree in computer engineering and a job as a "genius administrator" at Apple when he decided to pursue a career that he would find more fulfilling. "I wanted to have more of a direct effect in changing lives than I could by fixing computers," he says.
Salmingo learned about PLACE Corps (Partners in Los Angeles Catholic Education), a nationally recognized teacher service program of the LMU School of Education that enables candidates to earn a debt-free master's degree and credential while serving as full-time teachers in under-resourced Catholic schools of the Los Angeles Archdiocese. A product of Catholic schools, Salmingo liked the idea of giving back. "I know the value of Catholic education and wanted to inspire people the way I was inspired," he says.
Four years later, Salmingo is inspiring not only students, but also his fellow teachers at St. Anthony High School in Long Beach. In addition to teaching math and science – including two AP courses – he chairs the math department and guides the school's academic decathlon team, which last year placed first in its division of the Southern California Private Schools Competition despite being the smallest school to compete. Salmingo spearheaded an effort to revamp the school's math and science curriculum, including the establishment of a partnership with the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific that enables St. Anthony students to apply skills they learn in the classroom as interns at the aquarium. Last year, the online Long Beach Post selected Salmingo as one of Long Beach's top 10 teachers.
Salmingo is one of nearly 150 young people who have gone through PLACE Corps since it was established at LMU in 2001. The PLACE Corps meets an important need of the Los Angeles Archdiocese by preparing highly qualified, motivated and faith-filled teachers who will perpetuate the tradition of Catholic education and provide their students – many of whom are among the poorest in the archdiocese – with positive Catholic role models. This year more than 50 schools have either current PLACE Corps members, PLACE Corps alumni or both. More than half of PLACE Corps graduates remain in their under-resourced school beyond the two-year commitment.
The program is built on three pillars: professional development, community and spirituality. In addition to taking the courses and gaining the classroom experience required of any new teacher, "PLACErs" live with other members of their cohort during their two-year commitment while exploring and strengthening their spirituality alone and with the group.
Entering its 10th anniversary year, the PLACE Corps is enjoying national recognition. This year, applications came in from 75 universities covering 25 states. The selection process is rigorous and highly competitive, allowing the program to choose unusually bright and dedicated individuals such as Salmingo.
"These teachers are bringing an incredible level of energy to their schools," says Diana Murphy, PLACE Corps director. "They want to coach, do the liturgies, help with the yearbook, put on plays where they've never been done before. They're starting SAT prep classes and teaching the first AP courses in certain subjects. They're bringing in ideas and trying new things. Over and over again we hear from principals that they are raising the bar at their schools."
When Salmingo witnesses the effect he has been able to have on his students, it's a reminder that he settled on the right career path. "They're much more confident now," he says. "They can see a future that they might not have considered if others were selling them short. I feel very fortunate and fulfilled to be able to inspire them in that way." | 2019-04-23T20:10:47 | https://soe.lmu.edu/centers/cce/successstories/edgarsalmingoplacecorps/ |

The vlookup function is used to lookup and retrieve information from the selected column in a table. If you used this function, you probably noticed that the information you retrieved don’t keep the original number formatting.
The general formatting cannot be applied by a formula, you have to use VBA code.
First, let’s try to use VLOOKUP and see what happens with the formatting.
The following worksheet has two sheets.
Sheet1 consist of 10 names in which we want to look up salaries from the other sheet.
Sheet2 consists of 50 names with salaries and currency formatting. In addition to this, the salary is separated by commas.
Insert the following code into cell D2 in Sheet1.
Autofill the rest of the cells.
There is no number formatting here. What you get are just raw numbers. In the next part, I’ll show you how you can create the VLOOKUP function that also copies formatting.
The following function is similar to the vlookup function. The difference is that this function inserts not only value but also the source formatting.
Create a new module and insert this code.
Insert the following code into cell E2.
If you run this function, you will get a different result. | 2019-04-22T22:46:21 | https://excel.officetuts.net/en/vba/conditional-formatting-in-vlookup-in-excel |

FIFA 19 avoided trigger-happy soldiers, world-weary cowboys and axe-wielding gods to secure the end of year top spot as the most downloaded game on PS4’s digital storefront in 2018.
Black Ops 4, Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War followed close behind, with a handful of older releases, including Grand Theft Auto V, Gang Beasts, Rocket League and Need for Speed: Payback also holding firm in the top 20.
On PlayStation VR, rhythm action slasher Beat Saber topped a strong year for the platform, with Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Moss and Firewall: Zero Hour also making their mark on the download chart. And the battle royale genre demonstrated its strength in 2018 on the DLC chart, with Fortnite securing an incredible eight spots in the DLC top 20 for the year.
Moss is the best VR game I have played, more of you should try it.
Horizon Zero Dawn, although released in early 2017, still annihilated GT Sport in sales for 2018. Over a year on, GT Sport hasn’t even beaten GT 5’s MONTH ONE sales and PS3 didn’t have as much units sold when GT5 released as opposed to the massive sales of PS4 when GT Sport released.
I hope you learned something from this Sony. Listen to us next time when we tell you outright we aren’t interested in a pointlessly online focused game, especially for a series that never was. Do you think Bethesda didn’t just learn that the hard way themselves although, its funny, you would think GT Sport would have made them cop on well in advance.
EA are just about to feel the burn from cancelling Amy Hennig’s Uncharted Star Wars game over a year and a half ago too because they were too busy trying to integrate loot boxes into everything at the time while spending the last 4 years making a Destiny clone, Destiny, a game Activision doesn’t even want anymore. Talk about a bubble bursting on something lol.
Couldn’t agree more about Gran Turismo. It just lost everything about the series that appealed to me and most other players. I don’t buy a game like that to race online. I buy it for the most comprehensive, deepest, most exhaustive racing sim I can get on the console. I loved Project Cars, but even that didn’t come close to the older GT titles. I really hope the series comes back with a bang, but unfortunately it won’t. They don’t care, they don’t listen.
The fact that GTA V is still on there shows that this whole rating system is pathetically rigged.
Who the hell doesn’t own a copy of it already? It’s not even that good.
So you mean Rockstar pay Sony to show up on the nr 1 spot, thats your theory?
Im not sure what you’re implying, how can you rig a chart? unless you’re saying Rockstar are buying thousands and thousands of copies of their own game across thousands of new accounts just to stay in the annual chart.
The game is in the sale with the shark card money. People buy the game again just to get the online currency cheaper.
Trash Fortnite DLC’s, Fifa and GTA V in every single year. What a surprise!
I understand why people dont like Fortnite, but calling the game itself trash is just stupid. The servers work almost all the time, the game run smoothly on every device, so hardly trash. And Fifa and GTA are popular games, not a surprise at all. Question is why it bother you so much?
I play it as well sometimes.. But I called the DLC’s trash..
Why does it bother me? Because it happens in every single year. It’s just really show that the gamers don’t have any kind of taste. Always the microtransaction filled games are on the top. And let’s just face it, Fifa packs or whatever they called are gambling in FUT. GTA V, I believe it’s popular because of the online mode where you can spend all your hard earned money. But wait a minute… Only kids playing that, and microtransactions are made for them. Skins, weapon camos, new cars, pink tanks were made for them. Because they don’t know where the money comes from.
“FIFA 18 finishes ahead of Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 in the annual chart” – you surely mens FIFA 19.
Gang Beasts at #8, very random but well deserved, it’s a fun local multiplayer game! Also hell yeah to Beat Saber, Astrobot Rescue Mission and Superhot VR, three games absolutely worth owning PSVR for!
Why I can’t play in Europe fallout 76 with portugese or Brazilian language?! [DELETED] bathesda is doing and Sony?! If in Brasil they have the portuguese subtitles, why I can. T have in Europe?!
Such a shame,8 spend money and my time in a game, and this is what they give to us, no respect to the consumer!!
I find it odd that the Destiny 2 Expansion Pass placed above the Forsaken Expansion itself considering you need Forsaken to play the pass content. Highly suspect!

The core members of Eastern Ontario’s Riverthieves have been playing music together since the turn of the last millennium. The house band at the Royal Oak on the Canal for seven years, this iconic, Ottawa pub overlooking Pretoria Bridge served as the band’s original home base. Every St Patrick’s Day for more than a decade, the band was the signature feature at the famous D’Arcy McGee’s on Sparks Street. And weekend after weekend, the band could be found in bars and pubs from Renfrew to Trenton.
The Riverthieves clocked its flight time the old fashioned way: honing its chops on small stages over three-set nights, celebrating the world as they found it, pint by pint and song by song. Road-worn cases and old friends. Eventually, the bar gigs were interspersed with festival shows and small halls. Venues friendly to original music became more frequent and the Riverthieves began to present their own original music. In 2009, the band recorded songs and tunes they composed themselves during a very memorable live show at the Almonte Town Hall before a sold-out audience. It was released as their first album, Bandit Queen, the following year.
Afghanistan tours for the two serving military members of the band began literally the day after that verdant, Victoria Day concert. Devon completed two tours of duty to Kandahar province and Finley one. Devon also deployed to Haiti in the wake of their terrible earthquake and was subsequently posted to Valcartier. During and after that time, the band lost its focus, playing only infrequently, and rarely its own music.
But the Fall of 2015 offered a re-ignition. With Devon’s return posting to Ottawa, the Riverthieves’ hyperactive engineer and commercial pilot feverishly constructed a rehearsal space and recording studio for the band in his hangar located in Carp, Ontario. In celebration, the boys set about an ambitious writing project and dedicated themselves to a second album and a return to the stage. Composing and arranging relentlessly through 2016, the lads completed songs at a rate of one per month.
Recorded between January and March 2017 by Mike Kay, and mixed by Chris Bradley, the Riverthieves’ first studio album, Soldier, consists entirely of original tracks. The album explores the Canadian military experience, past and present. It considers soberly the cost of service, celebrates the joie de vivre of the soldiering culture, and pays special tribute to family, home, loss and hockey.
Longtime Riverthief, the constantly-kilted and genre-crossing beatmaster Terry Kittmer, relocated to Nova Scotia in 2016. Drumming duties have since passed to Oscar Mullally.
A bevy of famous fiddlers have passed through the band’s ranks over the band’s long tenure: champion valley fiddler Terry-Lynn Mahusky; the gypsy-styled Finnish-Canadian Shanthi Minor; the classically trained and Irish-inspired Evan Lewis; and the great, versatile session player, Greg Brown have all rosined up their bows in the service of the ‘Thieves. Javier Mullally is now playing first violin. | 2019-04-18T16:32:03 | https://www.riverthieves.com/about |
WILLEMSTAD – According to the former director of the Giro Bank, Eric Garcia, the 11 million dollars which he is accused of embezzling from the Banco de Maracaibo was lent to investors. This is according to Eric Garcia himself.
The prosecution has not talked to these investors yet. Who these investors are is not clear either. Garcia is unable to pay the claims of the defunct Banco de Maracaibo, which amounts to more than eleven million dollars.
Garcia is accused of embezzling 11 million dollars from the Banco de Maracaibo. He lied about depositing these funds in an account at the Maduro & Curiel’s Bank (MCB) here in Curaçao. According to the curator for the Banco de Maracaibo, Valery Maria, this is absolutely not true. He deposited the money in his own bank account.
“Garcia said that he was going to deposit this money at Banco de Maracaibo, but this bank was later declared bankrupt and he was appointed as one of the curators, together with lawyers Robert Blauw and Valery Maria.
After a while, Mrs. Maria requested information about the deposit at the MCB Bank. She started an investigation to know whether Garcia had really made that deposit or not. MCB notified her that the deposit never took place. This is when she filed the complaint against Garcia at the Public Prosecution (OM).
The documents Garcia had sent to Maria and the OM as proof of deposit were forged. After Maria filed the complaint, OM immediately started an investigation, which led to Garcia’s arrest. | 2019-04-20T00:31:35 | http://curacaochronicle.com/main/garcia-11-million-was-lent-to-investors/ |

Imagine locking yourself out of your car and locking your keys in.

We weren’t all that innocent. Not like the media would have you believe. We already had rock ‘n’ roll, the very name of which implies a loss of innocence. We had Elvis, though he wasn’t someone who excited me. I was a little too young to fully appreciate what an older sibling Elvis fan might have liked about him.
Instead, I counted Del Shannon’s Runaway among my favorite songs. Having memorized the lyrics, I’d sing it aloud bicycling around the neighborhood. Over time, Gene Pitney’s Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa took over the top spot in my “bicycling aloud” repertoire. The lyrics to both songs were emblazoned on my brain. To this day, I still play and sing them whenever the urge to pull out my guitar creeps over me. Only rarely do I sing either of them aloud anymore while bicycling.
That internal playlist changed on the day I accompanied Mom to the Bonnie Bee Supermarket. I always enjoyed going to the grocery store with her because I’d get to hang out in the magazine aisle and leaf through the latest issue of Song Hits magazine. Occasionally I’d make a halfhearted attempt to scan Hot Rod magazine. What captured my attention on this day, however, was a nearby record rack that housed the week’s top ten hits on 45s.
I’d seen picture sleeves on records before. Some singles by the Beach Boys had them. There were other groups with picture sleeves as well. On this day the one that attracted me had on it a black and white photo of four guys in collarless jackets, the guy on the left sporting a lit cigarette in his fingers. These were the Beatles I’d been seeing on television news and was hearing on the radio. That sleeve containing their record, I Want To Hold Your Hand, called out to me.
I walked down one aisle after another, record in hand, to find Mom. If I could just sneak it into the cart unnoticed, I’d nonchalantly slip it on to the conveyor belt at the checkout as I helped unload groceries. I chickened out and simply asked her if she’d buy it for me. My reasoning must have been sound. In 1963, Mom bought me the first Beatles record I ever owned.
See the film. If you’re so moved, post a comment about your first memorable Beatles moment. And by the way, thanks Mom!

This paper seeks to examine the effect of bad weather on a wheat season. The effect of bad weather on wheat affects different markets that has relations with it and hence will trigger a chain of events. Based on the changes arising from the main event, we shall discuss five of them and study the kind of impact and that happens.
We shall examine its effect on direct products of wheat, the substitute of the wheat products and also a complementary product in relation to the demand and supply impact. This project explains the effect of bad weather on the season of wheat along the lines of demand, supply and the equilibrium price.
Demand is defined as the willingness and ability of potential consumers to buy a particular commodity in a particular quantity at a particular price at a particular time. Supply on the other hand is the willingness and the ability of sellers to make available certain commodity in the market.
Demand and supply of a particular commodity is defined by either the law of demand or the law of supply. The law of demand indicates that the relationship between price and quantity demanded is the inverse and in the demand graphically it is represented by down sloping demand curve. The law of supply on the other hand explains that the relationship between price of a commodity and its supply in the market is direct.
The forces of demand and supply can not be explained without mentioning substitute goods and also complementary goods. Substitute goods are those that can replace or that which can be used in the place of the main product. Goods are described as complementary if they can be used together or their consumption is tied together.
In the case of our topic that bad weather destroyed wheat season, we may analyze that this situation negatively impacted on the quantity of wheat produced. This means it led to the increase in the price of wheat and subsequently that of wheat products in the market like bread, beer, and biscuit.
Increase in the price of these commodities, according to the forces of demand and supply, led to consumers opting for the substitutes. In this scenario, the demand for complementary goods will be affected, more so it will decrease. All this is explained and demonstrated graphically in the main body of this project.
In the case of my analysis I have studied the effect of bad weather on the following markets; Beer and bread as the direct products, wine and pasta as the substitute to these products and also I will explain the effect of the event on tea/coffee as the complementary. In the chart below, the markets and the chain of events are illustrated through graphs.
Bread is considered the principal product of wheat and as such its production and supply to the market will be greatly be diminished in case of bad weather during wheat season. If a bad weather is experienced during the wheat season, then the price of bread at the market increases resulting in subsequent decrease in demand for bread.
This will mean that its net effect on the market will be negative and supply will be decreased and the supply curve will decrease hence causing the supply curve to shift towards left resulting to a change in price equilibrium where the price of the good and its substitute will increase and the quantity supplied will diminish. This is as shown in the supply and demand curve below.
Since bad weather diminishes the supply of wheat products, beer being one of the products from wheat will also be affected. One of the ingredients of beer is wheat and decrease in the production of wheat will mean decrease in the quantity of beer produced into the market. This scenario will have an effect on the supply side of the market.
This effect will be negative since it is understood that with the bad weather of wheat, the supply of the products which depend on wheat will decrease which applies in the case of beer. This will cause the supply curve to shift towards the left thus changes the equilibrium price and quantity supplied. The price of beer will increase whereas its supply will decrease. This effect is demonstrated by the demand and supply curve below.
My analysis of wine in this context is due to the substitutive principle of demand and supply. This implies that decrease in the production of beer and subsequent increase in its price will force consumers to look for goods with the same use and value as beer. Following the rise in the price of beer as explained above, consumers will go for wine. This is because wine has similar value with beer and hence can be substituted for it and may be it might be cheaper since its price will not be affected.
This will have the net effect of affecting the demand side of the curve. This effect will be positive because if the price of a product increases, the demand for its substitute will increase. The demand curve will shift outwards towards the right direction changing the equilibrium price and quantity. This will subsequently result in the rise in the price of wine and also increase in the quantity of wine supplied into the market. This is demonstrated by the demand and supply curve below.
Just as we have analyzed in the case of wine, pasta can be used as a substitute for bread (Wheat, 2011). Bad weather diminishes the production of wheat in the market. This has the net effect of pushing the price of bread up and diminishing its supply. This will lead to consumers looking for a commodity that has similar nutritional value and that which serve similar purpose as a bread. These commodities may include sweet potatoes, yams and pasta.
From the above analysis on the bread market, the price of bread had risen due to the decrease in production of wheat. This will result to consumers looking for a different product that’s cheaper but which has similar nutritional value and can serve similar purpose as bread. If we assume that pasta becomes the substitute, so, since the price of the related good rises, the demand side of the curve will be affected.
The net effect will be positive because if the price of the commodity rises, then the demand of its substitute increases. This scenario shifts the demand curve to the right leading to change in equilibrium quantity and price causing the price of pasta and subsequent increase in the quantity of pasta demanded. This is demonstrated by the demand and supply curve below.
Tea or coffee is discussed here as complement commodities. It is a principle that bread being the primary commodity from wheat is always taken in the morning during breakfast. It has been made a norm that breakfast is always accompanied with wheat products like donut, pancake and bread (Wheat, 2011).
Increase in the price of these commodities will mean that breakfast will never be similar again since consumers will skip it due to absence of compliments .If it is assumed that people take bread with coffee or tea, then tea and coffee will be considered complement to bread. When the prices of bread goes up then, the demand for its compliments will be expected to decrease hence resulting in a negative relation.
With the decrease on the demand of rice the demand curve will shift inwards to the left changing the equilibrium of the tea/ coffee market. This has the net effect of decreasing the price of coffee/ tea and the quantity demanded will decrease as shown in the demand and supply curve below.
The forces of demand and supply are dynamic and they are normally triggered by any one instrument of supply or any one chain of production. In the above event a bad whether during wheat season affected directly not only the direct products of wheat but also the price of substitutes and complements.

If you love beancurd as much as I do, here is one easy recipe that gives you brilliant multi-colored vegetable mixed with tomato sauce.
As you may already know, beancurd is locally known as tofu in Chinese or tauhu in Malay language.
Benacurd is a healthy ingredient which I always add them into my daily soups, mixed vegetables and stir fry meats.
My mom always say that eating beancurd makes your skin smooth and supple which I believed her words are true as I do consumed lots of beancurd when I was pregnant with my first and second child. They had beautiful, fair skins which are soft to touch.
Coincidentally, I have a bag of mixed vegetables ( a mixture of green peas, corns and carrots ) in the freezer.
Hence, I need not have to chop up fresh carrots or get a can of green peas which have saved me lots of work.
You could use soft tofu or the white block tofu for this braised tofu recipe.
However, I preferred soft tofu as it is easier to eat and easier to digest compare to the block tofu. Anyway, it is much cheaper as it comes in a tub that cost me $0.99 cents !
Arrange cubes of soft tofu onto a shallow plate and steam together with your white rice in the rice cooker.
Add in 1 tbs of oil into wok. Heat up.
Fry chopped garlic until fragrant.
Add in mixed vegetables. Stir fry.
Add in cubes of tomato and add in seasoning.
Allow the vegetables to simmer until cooked.
If the sauce is almost dries up, add a little more water.
Remove steam tofu from the rice cooker.
Pour mixed vegetables with tomato sauce onto the soft tofu.
A great low cholesterol recipe for the whole family. Have a happy meal.
Do you have any ideas how to cook tofu?
Do share with me your opinions. I would love to hear from you.

yummy, looks good. If pos, I also love to cook with colours, using different coloured vegetables makes a dish nicer and strengths the apatite.
Have you ever made a vegan cheesecake? its delicious but I am sure I already posted the recipe in another writing site so I will have to ” Link” that recipe. Its looks just like a cream cheese based cheesecake.
This I can make, I actually have a block of tofu in the fridge but I was thinking about a vegan cheesecake made from tofu… I need oyster sauce.
That looks so yummy and easy to make but I don´t like tofu. Can I substitute this with other?
@thelme55/ you can use fishcakes, hard boiled eggs. | 2019-04-23T22:51:41 | https://blogjob.com/localfood/2015/11/vegetable-recipe-braised-tofu-with-tomato-sauce/ |
The following is the first of a series of articles that I will be posting in the coming weeks, based on the keynote address I gave at the 2009 Ruby Hoedown in Nashville, entitled “There is no magic, there is only awesome.” I originally intended to publish the entire series of articles as a single article, but it got too long. At any rate, I think it’ll be more easily digestible as multiple posts.
I’m always surprised to discover that there are people who have never heard of string figures. These are the games that are played (in western culture, at least) primarily by children, using a loop of string. They place the string on their hands and, either by themselves or with a friend, manipulate the string into various patterns. As a kid, I learned how to do a few such patterns, including Cat’s Cradle and the cup and saucer, but it was just a novelty, and I was interested in other things. I promptly forgot nearly everything about these games, except that they existed.
Fast-forward almost thirty years. My wife bought one of those Klutz books for our kids, this one about string games. It only described a handful of figures, but it was enough to pique my curiosity. I hopped online to see if there was any other information available about the subject.
Thus did the floodgates open! I discovered that string figures are a nearly universal pastime, being found in almost every culture around the world. In fact, many widely separated cultures share string figure repertoires—a discovery that fascinated and intrigued ethnologists over a century ago.
When Franz Boas first described an Eskimo string figure in 1888, there was a sudden flood of academic interest in string figures. Ethnologists began theorizing that the shared string figure repertoires could imply a common origin of mankind, or might indicate migration paths or intercultural interactions of “primitive” societies. Some of these figures were so elaborate that it seemed almost impossible to believe that they could come from independent invention. Efforts were made to “collect” these string figures by sketching them, photographing them, or even mounting the finished patterns on cardboard.
In 1902 there was another breakthrough: Drs. Rivers and Haddon, two ethnolgists, devised a way to describe the process by which string figures were constructed, allowing researchers to collect not only the finished products, but also the steps leading up to them. This helped reveal an interesting fact: many of these different cultures’ figures that looked the same superficially were actually produced by very different methods. The argument for independent invention was strengthened, but it also became possible to see where one culture may have learned a figure from another, by comparing the similarities between the two methods of construction.
A few years later, in 1906, a remarkable woman named Caroline Furness Jayne published one of the first books about string figures, called String Figures and How to Make Them. Amazingly, this book remains in print, and is still one of the definitive works on string figures. In this book, Jayne took the nomenclature devised by Rivers and Haddon, and with a few simple modifications, made it more accessible to the layman. Using this modified nomenclature, Jayne then proceeded to describe (and, with the help of a friend, illustrate) 97 string figures from around the world, many of which she had collected herself and which had never been published before.
It really is a spectacular book.
However, because the system for describing string figure construction was so new at the time, there was a large body of string figures that had been collected, but for which there was no known construction method. Among these figures were several from the Pacific island of Nauru. These Nauruan (which is a palindrome, making this a de facto awesome word) string figures were so elaborate and complex that Jayne was skeptical they could be created entirely “on the hand”, and she speculated that perhaps they were (at least partially) created “artificially” (e.g., by laying the string down and moving loops around).
“I have brought together such of these [drawings] as I could obtain, in the hope that other observers will find out the method by which they are made; with our present knowledge it is practically impossible to work back from the finished pattern to the opening movements.”—Caroline Furness Jayne, “String Figures and How to Make Them”, 1906 (emphasis added).
Although Jayne died just a few years after her book was published, her work remained influential. Years later it was read by a woman named Honor Maude, who was intrigued by the Nauruan patterns. When, in the 1930’s, she had the opportunity to visit Nauru for a few weeks, she immediately dove in and began interrogating the natives about their string figures. She was able to learn many (though not all) of the Nauruan figures from Jayne’s book, and many others besides.
It turns out that the figures were (for the most part) created entirely on the hand. For many of the figures, including fairly complex ones, the process of construction was even surprisingly straightforward. And armed with the results of Maude’s research, other researchers have since been able to reverse engineer the rest of the Nauruan patterns from Jayne’s book.
The mystery was dispelled. There was no magic. There were only awesome patterns that could now be documented, described, and duplicated.
This could never have happened if it were not for the willingness of a few to explore. Late 19th and early 20th century ethnologists explored the world, travelling to places most people had never even heard of. Caroline Jayne explored both the body of existing research, as well as travelled the US herself, collecting figures. And Honor Maude explored much of the south Pacific, including Nauru, collecting string figures.
More recently, string figurists have explored in other ways. By “playing with string”, attempting variations on existing patterns and testing combinations of maneuvers, and by working backward from known patterns, they were able to unravel figures that Caroline Jayne called “practically impossible” to reverse engineer. These people explored their domain, understood it at a new level, and did the impossible.
These people understood that string figures were not magic. String figures were only awesome.
It is human nature to look at something exceptional and feel distanced from it. But calling that feeling of distance “magic” does the exceptional a disservice. It’s a barrier we build to give us an excuse for not being exceptional ourselves. It’s not magic that separates the exceptional from the mundane: it’s awesomeness.
“Awesome” is excellence. “Awesome” is the willingness to dig into one’s domain, to explore what has been discovered, and to look beyond. “Awesome” is understanding what you do, and how and why you do it. You cannot be awesome until you look inside that black box and dispel the magic around it.
As a string figurist and a computer programmer (and someone generally aspiring to awesomeness!), I suggest that there are four cardinal rules to being awesome.
Now, when I say “know” here, I mean more than just “know about”. I mean the deeper, intuitive knowledge that comes from prolonged first-hand experience. It’s one thing to say that you know what is inside a cave. It’s another to actually go spelunking.
And it’s another entirely to meticulously explore a cave, acting as cartographer and biologist, geologist and poet, cowboy and scientist, all in one.
Part of meticulously exploring your domain, then, is asking questions. Make no assumptions. Have your own opinions. Look under every rock, and behind every corner. Ask why five times for every question.
When I worked at BYU, my boss at the time, Doug Walker, liked to hold what he called “obnoxious question sessions”. In them, he would ask “obnoxious” questions that challenged the assumptions we had made about our systems. These could be painful and awkward if we didn’t have good answers for them. It became obvious, quickly, that we needed to have opinions about everything we did, and that we shouldn’t take anything for granted. And neither should you.
The articles that follow in this series will each be a kind of obnoxious question session. They might be painful. They might be painfully obvious! Regardless, I’ll be taking each of those four cardinal “rules of awesomeness” one at a time.
And I hope you’ll bear with me as I drag string figuring into each one!
This is awesome Jamis. Thanks for posting these detailed notes on your talk. I’ll enjoy referring to them in the future. And thanks for being awesome enough to go to lunch with a complete stranger at the conference when probably everyone there wanted a chance to hang out with the keynote speaker!
you are so right and i have to admit that i really forgot that great game. i was a specialst in string figures at school but you really made me curious trying it again…this is, what i call a creative input! thanks a lot!!
Wonderful opening paragraph under the “Being Awesome” headline.
I get very much of this dismissive “magic” attitude being a yogi (doing “Sahaja Yoga” meditation every day for a couple of years). The eastern knowledge of our subtle body with its energy centers (chakras) and energy channels (nadis) can be experienced by any one who gives a little effort into practicing meditation and quickly has tremendous effects on physical, psychological and spiritual well being.
However when non meditators (especially the fanatic atheist kind) ask questions about it and you explain something that is very real and affects every human being on the planet. It’s all a bit too “exceptional”. And a kind of dismissive attitude in the collective mind evolves that people latch onto to excuse themselves. Without having to feel bad about not researching the new knowledge.
Jamis, this was great, looking forward to part II.
This is very interesting. I have read Honor Maude’s book on Nauruan String figures but I did not know she was influenced by Carolyn Jayne Furness. I will no look for Furness’book and read that as well.
I’ve recently been learning Drupal and I’ve been feeling like there was a lot of magic involved. But I strongly believe that you’re right, that there is no magic, only awesomeness that I need to learn about. Thank you for the continual inspiration!
Very interesting, especially the Biblical allusion of “know thy …” not a very empirical process to be sure! If I read this correctly, you are proposing that we achieve ‘knowledge’ that leads to awesomeness primarily through commitment, experience and relationship/community. Assuming I have this correct, this is a most welcome proposition!
you are so right and i have forgot that great game. At school i love playing it… i was a specialst in string figures. Your articel reminds me and today i will starts new playing :-P thanks a lot!! | 2019-04-20T08:13:53 | http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2009/9/16/there-is-no-magic-there-is-only-awesome-part-1.html |
The other day I was watching "Into the Wild" for the fifth time and thought to myself what a frugal thing happiness can be. We're so caught up in the clutter of our day-to-day existence, the unpaid bills, the cliched and regular means to keep ourselves entertained, we often forget that there is a wide world outside. Every day we're moving further away from it.
We've all read plenty of books, seen movies about freewheelers and backpackers which have left us in complete awe. Within us all, there is a part that wants to be a rolling stone. It really isn't a fantasy anymore. People are living that life and if you’re just as eager, it's actually not that difficult to get a taste of the road.
The concept of backpacking developed with the hippie trail as a form of an alternate tourism in the 60's and 70's and today it's an established form of low - cost independent travel with plenty of travellers all around the globe living out of a backpack.
If there's one thing I've learnt, planning before any trip is important but spending too much time contemplating and waiting for the perfect time is not a good idea. Life is short, there is no perfect time and nothing beats the thrill of spontaneity.
However, with that said a considerable amount of planning is absolutely necessary before heading out. The first step is to figure out the basic details of where and with whom.
I've always had an inclination towards solo travelling. It's difficult to find someone you're in complete sync with and it's nice to make new friends on the way. However, if it's the first time, travelling with an experienced backpacker is a good idea.
Figuring out the destination landscape is important in order to plan accordingly. Things to carry to the mountains will be completely different from the beach, the desert or the city. Any place will do for backpacking, the only important thing you actually need is yourself. Yourself away from society.
The backpack plays a primary role so choosing the right backpack is the first and the most important task. If the trip includes camping, a bigger size of 50l to 70l would be ideal. Otherwise, a 40l serves the purpose. It is also useful to have a smaller backpack to carry essentials around while discovering a place locally.
It completely depends on the destination location. A hiking trip would require heavy clothing with different layers, fleeces, waterproofs and good hiking footwear.
A trip to the beach, on the other hand, would require lighter clothes, scuba diving/snorkelling gear etc.
- A good book for the long nights.
- An instrument to keep yourself entertained.
- A Camera to capture each moment.
- Pen and paper can help you create a travelogue.
- A quick-dry microfiber towel.
- Important papers/passport/ Id cards.
- Hiking lights if you're away from civilisation.
We love to quote Beatles when we say that we don't care too much for money 'cause money can't buy us love. But it can buy us tickets to different places and that's not too bad. However, good news is, even that isn't as expensive as we think it is with different budget travel options these days. So all broke adventurers, it's high time you start packing those backpacks too.
Hitchhiking is basically free travelling where you take lifts from passing vehicles. I cannot write you the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy but I am trying to wrap my head around this fantastic concept. Although it's still a developing concept in India, it's quite popular in many parts of the world. In India, the hitchhiking community is growing with the rise of the car-owning middle class which means that hitchhiking from cities to popular sites is increasingly simple.
Sometimes it's nice to go back to the scratch. Survival is a basic human instinct so building a fire and cooking your own food for at least a whole day shouldn't be much of a problem. Even if it is, it's something worth experiencing. Morning tea, with porridge. Potatoes and veggies for lunch and noodles for dinner! While you're at it read "To build a fire" by Jack London, it's pretty intense. Carrying basic hiking cooking gear like plastic cups, bowls and aluminium cooksets could help.
With a good book, good company, an instrument and some place where you can connect with nature, your daily worries will be temporarily forgotten overpowered by a clarity of purpose. If you're climbing a mountain, the climb becomes the main task at hand and everything else is tuned out. | 2019-04-22T12:53:38 | https://sportsadvice.decathlon.in/advice-alias/its-perfect-time-go-backpacking-tp_8634 |
Mothers’ time with children has overall, remained surprisingly high across recent decades, measured from time diaries in 1965 through the present. Despite the fact that mothers, even those with young children, marched into the labor force in unprecedented numbers in the latter part of the 20th century, mothers’ time spent in childcare as a primary activity actually increased. Mothers’ “total contact time” with children is about the same — for married mothers, it increased slightly (but not significantly) and for single mothers, it decreased slightly (but not significantly).
Married fathers have become more involved with children and spend more time in childcare. This includes time in routine care (like bathing or feeding children) and in interactive “fun” activities (like playing games, reading and so on). They also spend significantly more “total time” with children than in the past, as measured by time diaries.
A note on the terminology of “time with” children: When parents’ time is recorded in time diaries, they indicate all activities they have done, sequentially, over a 24-hour day (typically “yesterday”). Researchers often code adult diaries into broad categories of paid work, housework, child care, leisure, and personal care (such as grooming or sleep). The mother pictured here would likely state she was “feeding my child” and this primary activity would be coded as routine child care. If a mother said she was watching television, and at the same time folding laundry, she would be coded as engaged in a primary leisure activity, and a secondary housework activity. She would also be asked –“While you were watching television, who was with you?” She might say “my children” in the case that they were nearby as she watched TV. This latter type of parent-child time is included in “total time” with children in our aggregations.
The idea of “quality time” can mean many different things. Most researchers consider quality time to be certain special activities like talking to, reading with, or playing with kids. Some researchers would consider time with a “warm” parent, who is loving and kind, to be quality. Some might consider parents’ or children’s own definitions about which kinds of time they believe is “quality” time. It may be useful to make a distinction between time in all activities (aggregated to a total or quantity of time with children) versus the subset of time in certain quality activities.
HOW DO QUANTITY & QUALITY TIME RELATE TO CHILD & ADOLESCENT WELL-BEING?
Even as mothers’ time with children has increased from the 1970s, concerns about time seem to have strengthened since mothers of young children marched into the labor force in increasing numbers from the 1960s through the 1990s (Bianchi 2000; Bianchi, Robinson & Milkie 2006). Some refer to the current era as a time of “intensive mothering” (Hays 1996) in which mothers are expected to individually devote enormous amounts of time and energy to ensure children ‘turn out’ to be happy and successful. A research brief discusses the amounts of maternal time, specific kinds of quality time, and children’s and adolescents’ well-being.
How today’s parents feel about their time with children is quite complex. Particularly among parents working long hours, my research shows how feelings of time deficits with children are quite common (Milkie et al. 2004; 2010) and that these have implications for work-family balance and for mental health (Milkie, Nomaguchi & Schieman 2018; Nomaguchi, Milkie & Bianchi 2005; Milkie et al. 2010). Alleviating work strains through reduced hours and more flexibility would likely reduce parents’ feelings of time deficits with their children, and increase parental well-being.
The cultural context of parenting — of intensive mothering and involved fathering, create a bind for many parents. In an individualistic society, with few supports from the state, there are high expectations that parents, particularly mothers, will produce successful, happy children on their own. We conceptualize mothers’ vigilant work to ensure children’s place in the social and economic hierarchy as “Status Safeguarding” (Milkie & Warner 2014). Mothers are at risk of being blamed as “overinvolved” in children’s lives, but they are responding to problems that are larger social and cultural issues (globalization; job markets and instability; vast wealth inequalities).
Culturally, mothers can be pitted as underinvolved — not seeming to spend enough time with children — typically due to employment — or overinvolved (e.g., “helicoptering”) — each denigrating women’s family work and position (see Milkie, Pepin & Denny 2016). Policies to support children (e.g., high quality, subsidized childcare) and parents (e.g., flex-time, paid leaves, paid vacation time, stable schedules) plus cultural shifts in defining societal responsibilities for children’s well-being are needed. | 2019-04-24T02:45:41 | https://melissamilkie.com/parents-time/ |
In his own music, his goal is to make digital music sound like it’s analog. John elaborates, “I always believed that if you spent enough time with one program, you could make it sound as good as analog. My approach has always been to work with what I have. I work with FL Studio."
To further these goals, he’s started a series called Presents at the Nite Owl club. John says, “I’m trying to do a synthwave night, I’m trying to do a night for the indie rock crowd and I just want to specifically focus on them and not how cool my collective is. I’m trying to build on that as much as I can. I also do a podcast which showcases people who are doing making films or hosting radio shows on CJSW. I feel like what’s missing are more media personalities to interview the artists. I like that journalistic culture and I wish it was stronger in Calgary." | 2019-04-19T06:19:49 | https://spinditty.com/artists-bands/JHNN-Canadian-Electronic-Musician-Profiled |
At the 12th Annual ODR Forum in Montreal, we announced the launch of a new international journal – The International Journal of Online Dispute Resolution.
I will be one of the co-editors-in-chief, along with Ethan Katsh and Mohamed Abdel Wahab, and the journal will be published by Eleven International Publishing, the publisher of ODR Theory and Practice. We are in the process of establishing an editorial board and a roster of outside expert reviewers, and we are working to establish cooperative agreements with academic institutions to manage submissions, reviews, etc.
To see the announcement from Eleven, click here: IJODR – more information regarding submissions and publication dates will follow soon.
The 2013 World Summit on the Information Society Forum in Geneva included a panel discussion on ODR chaired by Frank Fowlie (Ombudsman for the International Office for Migration), and featuring, among others, Colin Rule (CEO of Modria.com), Graham Ross (VP at Modria.com and an ODR pioneer), and me. Frank was in Geneva, Colin was in California (at 2:00 a.m.), Graham was in Wales, and I was in Alexandria, just outside of DC (at 5:00 a.m.).
Frank’s overview and panel introduction included a quote from Richard Susskind, which I will have to paraphrase, but which essentially argued that the future of dispute resolution is online – he foresaw in his book, the Future of the Law, that everything except the most complex and most costly conflicts would be handled online.
Colin started the panel by giving an overview of the development of ODR and managed to quote Mao Tse Tung at 2:30 in the morning, arguing that there are boundless opportunities for ODR, and that we should “let a thousand flowers bloom.” Another of the points he made, which I later referenced, is that his work developing an ODR platform has moved from working with strictly traditional conflict resolution systems and formats to including case management and other “administrative” aspects of dealing with parties in conflict.
I was asked to address ODR issues from an e-government perspective, so I prepared remarks focused on Ombudsman programs, traditional mediation/facilitation programs, and public input channels. I opened my remarks with a couple of observations.
The first was that I take slight exception to Susskind’s assertion about the types of cases that are appropriate for the use of ODR tools. At the NMB we deal with cases that involve billions of dollars, with hundreds of open items, and we have found that ODR technology has a firm and useful place in the handling of those cases. I think Susskind was probably talking more strictly about the law and the kinds of cases that could be taken from the traditional courts, but still it is good to think of ODR more broadly. Graham, in a comment later in the session, matched Colin’s Mao quote by noting that for a frog at the bottom of a well, the sky is a small, round patch of blue. I think all of us on the panel agree that it is necessary to look horizon-to-horizon for ODR opportunities, not just at the patch of blue immediately above us.
The second was that I agree with Colin’s observation about the breadth of what we should call ODR. When I first went to the National Mediation Board in 1997, one of my tasks was to figure out how to integrate technology into the business systems of the NMB. Their business happened to be dispute resolution, and the reason I was there in the first place was that I knew something about mediation and something about technology. Frankly, there weren’t many of us around who fit that description in the mid-1990’s. So, the first thing I concentrated on was the creation of communication channels, then on creating information sharing systems, and then on creating platforms that allow for parts of the dispute resolution process to be done online, synchronously and asynchronously. That experience cemented in my mind that making information and communication channels available to parties and third parties can be just as important, and just as much a part of a dispute resolution process, as the mechanics of running a mediation, facilitation, or arbitration session. It is also the experience that brought me to think of third party work as consisting of three basic functions: facilitating communication among the parties, facilitating the sharing of information and data among the parties, and managing the group dynamics created by the dispute resolution process.
I started my prepared remarks by recounting a phone call that I recently received from a large U. S. Government agency. This is an agency that handles a large case load of mediation and facilitation cases in a particular sector of the economy, nation-wide – and they have been told that, because of the recent draconian budget cuts in the U.S., they have no travel money at all for the rest of this year. They were interested in the NMB’s ODR program because, for them, some use of ODR may become the only game in town for the near future.
Even in the best of economic times, government entities share a couple of characteristics that should suggest the use of ODR technology: potential parties/participants are scattered geographically, and there are massive numbers of potential participants in government conflict engagement systems. For the very brief time that I had on the panel, I talked about three conflict engagement venues in which e-government in the form of ODR would be useful.
Ombudsman programs exist for a number of reasons, including handling cases using traditional mediation and facilitation skills. One of the other features of a well-functioning Ombudsman office is the ability to serve as an early warning system for organizations, identifying potential areas of trouble and moving to avert conflict by acting on information that is, for lack of a better word, “pre-conflictual” in nature. Because there are a massive number of potential clients of government Ombudsman systems, and because they are often spread across time zones, use of ODR technology to allow access for the transmission of information, and even for conducing online mediation, facilitation, or coaching sessions is quite valuable. Additionally, we found while working on a couple of NSF grants from 2004-2010, that online conflict engagement is not merely an analog of face-to-face conflict engagement. One of the significant differences between online and offline processes is that online systems can offer the clients/parties anonymity, and, essentially, a safe haven for communicating information that they might be reluctant to communicate with attribution. For the early warning functions of an Ombudsman office, this would seem to be a true asset.
Traditional mediation, facilitation, coaching, and arbitration functions can obviously be conducted online. Very inexpensive tools allow for synchronous and asynchronous processing of cases, and the ability to use algorithms like the ones developed for e-commerce by eBay allow for the processing of a large number of cases with minimum staff involvement.
Public input functions may be radically changed by the use of ODR technology. Keeping in mind my assertion that information gathering and the fostering of communication are central to the process of conflict engagement, opening communication channels for citizens is at the heart of e-government and public conflict engagement. The challenge for those in government is what to do with the input when they get it. A couple of examples will illustrate what I mean. In the 1990’s, the US Department of Agriculture was working on a set of standards that would define what foods could be labelled “organic” in the U.S. In years past, USDA would have held a series of public meetings around the country, and they would have taken written comments, mostly from organized interest groups. For the organic standard they decided to use what, for them, was a new channel for comments – e-mail. If I remember the stats correctly, the USDA received over one million online comments in the first month that the comment period was open. The Obama Administration currently has in place what they have labelled the “Open Government Initiative.” This program allows anyone with access to the Internet to make comments, create petitions, and give input to the government. The problem, as I indicated before, is that once you get the input you have to in some way make sense of it – the work being done in data mining and natural language research is making strides in this area, and will, eventually, lead to solid information coming from direct citizen input.
To wrap up my comments I started with what I think is a basic truth about the efforts that the U.S. Government has made to integrate technology into dispute resolution and citizen input: with few exceptions, the government has gotten it wrong, and indeed has gone about the development of online tools with a fundamentally flawed approach.
Specifically, in my experience development of online tools for e-government has been approached in the same way that the government has developed weapons systems or other big ticket items. Each problem has been approached as a unique situation, calling for development of complicated systems from the ground up by vendors who have an interest in developing complicated systems and charging for that complexity. This has led to any number of headline stories about millions of dollars spent on technology systems that fail to deliver at all on their requirements. To be fair, there are many expensive systems that do deliver, all or in part, but, then, one would expect an expensive system to do what it basically promised to do.
In my work with the NMB we have taken a different approach. The assumption has been that the basic functions we need are simple (remember my “three basic things we do as conflict interveners”) and that it is not necessary to totally fabricate a complex system to deliver these simple functions. So, over the past decade, we have built a complex of applications, most off the shelf with a very few custom functions built for our work, that operate in all areas of our dispute resolution systems, for less than one of the big-ticket projects that have failed spent in a week.
The lesson from this is not so much that we’ve been brilliant (but I do think we’ve been pretty smart), but that as a small agency a lack of access to millions of dollars forced us to think of the development process in a different way. With full disclosure, I am associated with Modria.com, but I would suggest that the development process there has been a model of what I am advocating for integration into e-government. Modria is a platform with modules that represent the commonly needed elements of conflict engagement systems. With very little redevelopment, it can be configured to do divorce mediation, Ombudsman work, tax assessment challenges, or contract negotiation. That should offer an attractive alternative to those interested in e-government development, both from a budget perspective and from a functional perspective.
If a thousand flowers are going to bloom in ODR, I think they will look a lot like the modular, focused flowers that already have been quietly and inexpensively successful in e-government.
Out with 2012, in with 2013 . . . .
Thanks to a gift from my friend Alan Tidwell (his blog can be found at http://storeofideas.net/), I have spent the last few days going through a book that has prompted my end-of-year thoughts for 2012.
Given my well-known affinity for and relationship with online dispute resolution technology, I’m surely more positive about the use of technology than Bock. As I’ve said on many occasions, the basic tasks facing those who deal with conflict, on pretty much any level, are managing communication, managing information, and managing group dynamics. ICT has obvious things to contribute to all three, especially in the hands of those who artfully combine technology with traditional approaches to conflict engagement.
But as a catalyst for my end-of-year ruminations, it isn’t Bock’s thoughts on the limitations of technology that set me off: it was the “have saved and can save lives” comment.
So, for my friends in the world of conflict engagement I have this thought.
Each year, mindfully and intentionally, I reflect on the amazing group of friends and colleagues I have been so fortunate to meet and work with over the years. From those who deal with peacebuilding at the broadest level, to those who sit at tables between individuals who are in conflict, you are all in a position to affect, if not literally save, lives on a daily basis, and I have the most profound respect and love for all of you. | 2019-04-21T16:52:08 | http://danielrainey.us/tag/odr/ |
