After three years in New York harbor, on 16th March 1973, the MV Peace sailed out to her eventual destination, three miles off the coast of Tel-Aviv. There, from 26th May, Abie Nathan's Voice of Peace would air its messages of peace to the Middle East. Engineer Ed Simeone here recalls his memories of a hectic voyage across the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Exactly thirty years have passed since the events related here. It all happened a long time ago and my memory for names and specific dates is a bit rusty. I am sorry to say I can't remember the names of all the incredible group of volunteers that staffed the Peace ship on its voyage from New Jersey to the Middle East in 1973. But to the best of my recollection: I was working at a stereo store in northern New Jersey and my cousin told me about a radio ship docked on the Hudson River that was looking for someone with electronics experience. I visited the Peace Ship in February and was immediately struck by the friendliness of the crew and their commitment to creating a more peaceful world. This seemed like a great adventure, so I signed on and within several weeks was issued Panamanian seamen's papers, even though I couldn't have passed any legitimate test!
We had three Norwegian crewmembers. The Captain and the first and second engineer all came out of retirement to join the crew. The Captain ran a tobacco store and the first and second engineers worked at an auto repair garage. One of the engineers was named Ud. The first mate was from Canada, as was one on the DJ's (presenter), sorry no names. Four of us were from New York: Roger (who had some sea experience), a Catholic priest, Farther Charles McTague, the cook (sorry I can't remember his name) and myself. There is one other crewmember that appears in several photographs that I have but my mind draws a blank about his name.
Father McTague, or Father Charlie as we called him, had left home at the age of 16 and was an experienced seaman. He had a late calling to the clergy, so he had not led a sheltered life, which made him fun to be around. He never wore his collar at sea, so he was just another one of the guys manning the ship. We also had a very experienced seaman for the Philippines named Pete. And Pete swore he would never return to the Philippines until President Marcos was deposed. Sad to think he had to wait another 13 more years to go home. The chief transmission engineer was from Holland, his name was Bill Danse. He could fix just about anything and he kept the dual 25,000 watt Collins valve transmitters humming. I also credit him for being one of my career mentors. We had a British DJ named Tony Allan, who had much experience on radio. Tony would tell us stories about the history of pirate radio. We would sit wide-eyed, listening to harrowing stories about storms in the English Channel and the days of Radio Caroline and Veronica. And, of course, Abie! Abie Nathan was a unique mixture of bluster tempered by a good heart. Today we would use the word "micro manager" to describe him. Abie wanted to do everything! Sometime I wondered if the guy ever slept.
I am terrible with names but I remember the events of the trip quite well. We sailed out of New York harbor in mid March, smack into a huge storm that nearly pounded the old ship to bits. No one bothered to check the long-term weather forecast. This storm was so big that large cruise ships were a day late on the New York to Bermuda run. We carried 65,000 gallons of diesel fuel in the ships ballast tanks that would have normally been filled with water. We needed this much fuel because once we started to transmit without a license, we would be in violation of one of the international conventions and could not put into port again. In the heavy seas our water supplies were contaminated by the fuel, leaking from the old gaskets on top of the ballast tanks, washing across the lower decks and into the fresh water tanks.
Having never been to sea, I was really seasick for the first few days, could not get out of my bunk. A few days out of NY, someone came to my cabin and told me the helmsman had been on watch for 24 hours and had to be relieved. I got up, staggered to the wheel house — I had to go outside to get there! — astounded by the huge seas. I got to the wheelhouse to find we had no radar, and no idea where we were — no sextant reading could be taken because of the storm. This was well before GPS! Bill got on the distress frequency (2.182 MHz) and called the US coast guard. They triangulated our position, did a fly over and gave us our location. The captain decided to head towards Bermuda for repairs. He got us within a few miles of our destination by dead reckoning. No mean feat, considering his affection for distilled spirits.
Abie arrived not long after we had cleared the harbor. He bribed a fisherman to bring him out to the ship. We waited for Abie off the coast until one of our anchor chains broke. We limped on to Marseille, France. We still had no money, no ship's agent and no idea what we were going to do next. We needed repairs in the worst way but without an agent in Marseille we were in a bad state. We received no encouragement from the harbor master. In desperation the Captain ordered that we put up the international distress flags. Each time we put one up they became more severe: I am maneuvring with difficulty; I am disabled; man overboard; I require medical assistance; I am in distress, dangerous cargo; In need of a tug. All these flags finally captured the attention of the captain of a buoy tender, François Bonzon.
The original Captain and first and second engineer were relieved of their duties and sent packing while we were laid up for ten days. We got a new Captain (Bonzon), new engineers and new French cook. One more repair stop in Sicily and we made it to Tel Aviv around ten days later. After my stint as a helmsman, I assisted Bill in maintaining the transmitters but my main job was to operate the Hammerlund 600 short wave radio receivers, so we could pirate the UPS and Reuters teletype news services. We called it "rip & read". Abie would read the news stories as part of his on-air evening talks. At first we began transmitting late in the morning and signed off around 10 at night. One weekend to raise donations we got the bright idea to stay on all day and night for an "All Beatles" weekend. Not very original but it was exciting running the station 24 hours a day. Poor Abie, I thought he was going to have a nervous breakdown. He just couldn't sleep worrying we might say something politically incorrect.
I left a few months after we went on the air. We had put our lives on the line, sailing that old hulk across the stormy Atlantic. It was exciting to be steaming around the world but it was a lonely life once we got to our transmitting station. This we did all for $100,- a month. By July I had had enough and left the ship for an English speaking Kibbutz in RoshPina. That's a very abbreviated version. I could write a whole screenplay about the trip! It was some very scary and some funny moments. Just thought you might enjoy it. | 2019-04-24T16:09:41 | http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/VOLUME06/VOP_1973.shtml |

Need an easy craft with great results? This flower craft, inspired by Eric Carle's book The Tiny Seed is perfect for you.
Paint one sheet of paper in a mostly solid color to be your flower petals and center. You'll want to use one main color, plus one additional color, not mixed in very well, to get a swirly mixture style. This is a great opportunity to talk about color mixing! We used red and yellow.
Paint another sheet of paper in a mostly solid color to be your stem and leaves. Again, use one main color plus another color to get it sort of mix-y. We used green, white and blue.
Let these pages dry overnight.
On the back, draw the basic shapes for your flower-- petals, flower center, stem, and leaves. Have your crafter cut out the shapes (or do it for them).
Position flower pieces onto a separate sheet of paper and glue in place. I accidentally made our petals too big, so they hung off the page, but I actually think it ended up looking very artsy this way.
Flower craft to use with the Eric Carle book The Tiny Seed. Great for preschoolers or kindergartners. | 2019-04-26T10:39:41 | http://www.paper-and-glue.com/2014/06/the-tiny-seed-craft.html |

The mid-to-late '80s were a turbulent time for pop music. New bands continuously pole-vaulted onto the record charts, trying to steal some of the public's dollars away from the Michael Jackson juggernaut. Musical styles changed almost daily, and this diversity is the reason that so many bands from this era faded into obscurity so quickly -- most artists were unable to keep up with the ever-shifting "in vogue" sound. But not every band was a casualty of the times: in the dozen years or so that have passed since U2: Rattle and Hum vanished from multiplexes, Phil Joanou's mesmerizing documentary/concert film about the most successful Irish band in history has not aged in any discernible way. The music still sounds as fresh and vibrant as it did then, the performances hold up well... heck, even the hair styles still look good, proving once-and-for-all that U2's goal has always been satisfying themselves, rather than adhering to an arbitrary standard of "coolness." Rattle and Hum captures the excitement and energy of the band's post-"Joshua Tree" period, and Joanou's lenses allows us to share the band's fascination with Americana ("Heartland"), international politics ("Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Pride (In the Name of Love)," "Silver and Gold"), and religion (including a stellar gospel arrangement of their hit single "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," performed with an all-black Harlem choir; this performance alone justifies the purchase of the disc). The rich 16mm black-and-white cinematography looks gorgeous, if a shade grainy, but the audio is absolutely stellar: this is a disc that begs to be cranked as loud as you can stand it. The DVD has no special features to speak of, apart from a single theatrical trailer, but you'll be hard-pressed to find another film which communicates so much about a group of people using only the language of song. The music says it all, folks, and the message is clear: these guys rock... with or without you. | 2019-04-24T19:45:52 | http://www.dvdjournal.com/quickreviews/u2rattleandhum.q.html |

Panic is a sudden sensation of fear which is so strong as to dominate or prevent reason and logical thinking, replacing it with overwhelming feelings of anxiety and frantic agitation consistent with an animalistic fight-or-flight reaction.
Douglas Adams, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978 radio drama and 1979 novel), opening segment, comparing the fictitious eponymous guide to the fictitious Encyclopedia Galactica.
To sound the alarm is not to panic but to seek action from an aroused public.
John F. Kennedy, speech at Tulsa, Oklahoma (16 September 1959), as printed in The Strategy of Peace (1960), edited by Allan Nevins.
In the East men know panic, but they do not know what fright is.

Well chosen and properly maintained street trees add much value, livability to a neighborhood and to our planet.
The following list of recommended columnar or semi-columnar street trees for the western valleys of the Pacific Northwest is the convergence of several efforts on the author’s part.
This list is the distillation—the crème de la crème—of the analysis of numerous varieties of street trees from various lists compiled by numerous people, organizations and local municipalities. The best choices, in the author’s opinion, have been carefully selected. (More suitable street trees are being added to the list as they come to the author’s attention. So what makes the author’s opinion worth anything? Glad you asked.
Nathan Lawrence, ISA Certified Arborist and a second-generation Pacific Northwest arborist and horticulturist who has been earning a living caring for trees in Northwest Oregon since 1972, has put this list together based on long experience dealing with countless varieties of trees and learning how they react in numerous situations including wind, rain, ice, snow, blights, drought, attacks from pests, construction trauma, lightening, poor growth habits, structural failures, human neglect and more.

The Center undertakes development from a variety of perspectives of products and technologies that will contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.
By integrating our wide-ranging proprietary technologies, the Nisshinbo Group is tackling the development of various technologies and products in our three strategic business domains to contribute toward the building of a sustainable society. The Business Development Division is addressing various themes in line with the four axes of hydrogen solutions, mobility solutions, medical and health solutions, and social infrastructure solutions.
The biggest issue in the full-fledged diffusion of fuel cells is the reduction of manufacturing cost. The key to cutting costs lies in the development of new catalysts.
A fuel cell is a device that generates electricity from a chemical reaction with hydrogen. Electrodes with catalytic functions are used to stimulate the reaction. One of the reasons why fuel cells are so expensive is that the raw material for the electrodes is platinum, which is a costly precious metal.
The carbon alloy catalyst that we are developing in collaboration with Professor Junichi Ozaki of Gunma University is made from carbon, which is suitable for stable industrial production. The replacement of expensive platinum catalysts with carbon alloy catalysts would significantly reduce the cost of fuel cells.
This carbon alloy catalyst has been used by Ballard Power Systems Inc.* for a portable fuel cell since 2017. This was the first time in the world for a non-platinum electrode to be commercially used in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell. We will continue to accumulate achievements in the field of portable fuel cells and challenge even larger markets. Through the diffusion of cheaper catalysts, we are contributing to the realization of the future hydrogen-powered society.
*Ballard, which is listed on the NASDAQ stock market, is headquartered in British Columbia, Canada.
Hydrogen gas sensors that can quickly detect any emergency gas leaks are indispensable for supporting the safety and reliability of a hydrogen-powered society. At present sensors that detect hydrogen by chemical reaction are the mainstream, but poor durability due to catalyst deterioration is a problem.
Nisshinbo is developing a new style of gas sensor for installing in fuel-cell vehicles that does not use a catalyst.
Moreover, this new type of sensor can be used to detect not only hydrogen gas but also helium gas. Recently we have begun trial sales of MoLeTELL® for use in leak tests using helium gas. This detector enables the easy identification of leakage spots in automobile parts and electric equipment using helium gas, as well as piping in factories and laboratories.
In the future we are scheduled to increase the range of targeted gases to include, for example, vaporized gasoline and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and expand our product lineup.
As a consequence of global climate change and increasing populations, the securing of food supplies has become a major issue for humankind. To ensure stable supplies of safe and secure food, Nisshinbo is developing technologies to cultivate plants in fully sealed factories. As a result, we have succeeded in growing delicious strawberries, which normally come to fruition only in the spring, throughout the year in a completely artificially lit plant factory uninfluenced by the outside temperature or weather. This was a first in Japan. Production facilities were subsequently installed at our Tokushima Plant in FY 2011 and Fujieda Plant in FY 2013, and strawberries are being cultivated and sold under the Apollo Berry brand name.
Fully controlled plant factory with planted seedlings at the Fujieda Plant.
Apollo Berry® strawberries cultivated on a test line at the Fujieda Plant.
From the perspective of the effective use of energy resources, the utilization of renewable energy and introduction of smart technologies for the integrated management of energy are urgent tasks.
In response to this social need, the Nisshinbo Group is conducting demonstration trials of smart factories that have power-generation systems using solar energy, fuel cells, and other forms of clean energy; storage systems using rechargeable batteries; and energy management systems (EMS) that efficiently monitor and control this equipment and electric power consumption.
Among these devices, the EMS is a core technology for smart systems for which demand is expected to further grow in the future.
A monitor (left) enables the visualization of electric power generation and consumption.
The deterioration of many concrete structures, such as bridges, built in the period of Japan’s high economic growth in the 1960s has become a social problem. For example, the life span of bridges normally is said to be about 50 years, yet by 2030 it is expected that more than half of Japan’s bridges will be over 50 years old. From now on, therefore, the efficient testing and diagnosis of such aged structures and their appropriate maintenance will be necessary.
Utilizing ultrasonic technology, the Nisshinbo Group has developed a device that enables the highly precise and three-dimensional measurement of concrete interiors. The use of this device will contribute to the maintenance and management of structures.
As a result of the much improved screen sharpness of mobile terminals, such as smartphones and tablets, and the higher resolution of digital cameras and video cameras, the volume of data being handled by consumers just goes on increasing.
The millimeter-wave communications devices that we are developing are one means of high-speed wireless communication that can be used with smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronic devices. They will make it possible to send and receive large volumes of digital content without stress, thereby contributing to the realization of pleasant lifestyles. | 2019-04-26T07:47:37 | https://www.nisshinbo.co.jp/english/r_d/activity.html |
The MI team didn’t want to get the politics of the valley wrong.
Though the Central Board of Film Certification has had all references to Kashmir removed from the Hollywood film Mission: Impossible — Fallout, it seems the makers dropped several scenes even before sending the film to the board, to avoid accusations of spreading political disinformation.
“One was a shootout at a check post, in which Kashmiri citizens were shown being gunned down. And the other was a lengthy chase sequence featuring actress Vanessa Kirby. The MI team didn’t want to get the politics of the valley wrong. So they removed the two key sequences. That they still managed to get certain key geographical details wrong, is another matter,” the source adds. | 2019-04-25T22:07:39 | https://www.asianage.com/entertainment/hollywood/090818/kashmir-dropped-from-mi-even-before-cbfc-complained.html |
Iowa has 177 low-head dams in 57 of the state’s 99 counties. “Low-head” dams span the river and are less then 20 feet high (many just 2-5 feet high). The dams often are deceptively dangerous “drowning machines.” Since 1900, at least 163 people have been killed in the deadly recirculating currents that form below these dams — 31 since 1998. The drop below the dam can be nearly invisible from upstream, and the treacherous “boil” below the dam can appear harmless.
Dams also block the movement of fish and other aquatic life up and down rivers, harm the health and biodiversity of Iowa’s rivers, require costly repairs, and pose major liability concerns.
Iowa Rivers Revival has created the “Iowa Low-head Dam Modification Success Stories”. The booklet includes stories and details of 13 low-head dam modifications in towns across Iowa — 12 since 2010. Stories include local partners and decision-making, cost of modification, funding sources, design features and photos. The booklet also discusses the history of low-head dams in Iowa, benefits of dam modification, sources of planning assistance, and a guide for community action. Dam modification success stories included in the booklet are dams at Boone, Charles City, Elkader, Goldfield, Klondike Mill (Lyon Co.), Manchester, North Washington (Chickasaw Co.), Quaker Mill (Delaware Co.), Quasqueton, Rockford, Story City, Vernon Springs (Howard Co.), and Warner’s Ford (Allamakee Co.).

The Eshel Kids: Yom Haatzmaut!
We had lots of fun on Yom Haatzmaut - this is my second one ever and it was a lot of fun! We Had many important guests this year - you know who you are - to name a few Omamma and Opappa and my great uncle Shmayie and great aunt Michaela and my cousin Shani and more!!!
I went with my aunt Shoham to the center of the village to play at with all the fun things the village brought over (sorry no pictures of that) and then we went home for the seuda (lunch) which was as customary for the day a BBQ (was great! and delicious but I spent most of my time playing in the grass with Ori and every one who came along - it was great! | 2019-04-24T14:12:28 | https://kids.eshel.us/2008/05/yom-haatzmaut.html |
Woohoo! I seem to be among the living today 🙂 Woke up at 10:30 this morning. Can’t remember the last time I slept that late. Really needed it! Did a sleeping around job last weekend. I’m not used to it anymore and it has taken all week to recover from the jet lag.
To start with I saved the peels and cores from my dried apple project.
I boiled them for about an hour and then strained them through a tea towel.
The red from the apple peels made the towel look yucky, but it made the prettiest juice!
Then I measured out 4 cups of juice and 2 cups of honey. The recipe I found called for equal parts of juice and sugar, but honey is about twice as sweet as sugar so I reduced the 1:1 ratio to 2:1.
I cooked the juice/honey mixture down for about an hour because honey doesn’t set up as easily as sugar. Then I brought the mixture up to 220 degrees by bringing it to a rolling boil for several minutes while stirring constantly.
Then I poured it in jars.
And put hot lids and rims on. Yes! Those are Tattler lids there 🙂 I finally took the plunge. This was my first time trying them out. They didn’t seal with the first batch. I think I may have tipped them bringing them out of the canner so some of the jelly got under the lid, but the second batch did fine. I’m so excited to have reusable lids for my personal stash! They cost too much to use if I may not get them back, so for gifts and markets, I’ll continue to use the metal one-time lids.
After a 5 minute boiling water bath, I started hearing pop, pop, pop! What a beautiful sound!
Guess what people are getting for Christmas this year?
Got up at 6am on Saturday morning and started working on apples. I made applesauce, dried apples and apple peel juice for apple peel jelly. I wanted to do this on Friday because I generally need 2 days in a row to finish applesauce, but Grampa Tom got all excited because I told him I was going to get rid of the ancient desk top computer when the copier from my assessing job went bye-bye.
I left the picture blurry on purpose. It depicts my feelings about the entire mess and the clear picture would be just too scary! But I did wind up with a nice functional workspace that even has a home for my sewing machine that has been homeless for more than a year!
To bad there are still 3 big piles of stuff I need to go through! My goals for next week? Find the futon, the couch and my kitchen table and finish the apples … Oh, apples … that’s where I was going with this wasn’t it?
See how badly I can get distracted? It’s all Grampa Tom’s fault.
I also fixed lunch and put 6 butternut squashes in the freezer. Grampa Tom came in from his early winter nap at about 3 pm and claimed to have done the dishes that morning … Hmft! No trace of evidence that any such thing had happened in my kitchen!
It’s 9pm on Sunday as I write this. The apples have dried. The applesauce is still in the fridge waiting to be smushed. The apple peels are also there, draining their juice into a pan for jelly. There is still about a bushel of apples left to go.
Until I can sneak in another post in the midst of this chaos! | 2019-04-21T00:50:04 | http://gramasuesrainbow.com/tag/apples/ |

Angelo Mathews absent will be a major lacuna in the T20 campaign for Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka will play the T20 series with Australia without its captain. Skipper Angelo Mathews injured his hamstring and is dropped from the squad. He is currently on medical treatment as confirmed by Sri Lanka Cricket. The selectors will decide on a stand-in captain who will lead the team on Mathew's absence. The new temporary captain will be announced shortly before the tournament.
The skipper has been playing alongside his team despite an injury in the second T20 against South Africa. He was the key player to win the match, but was injured. He could not play in the last match of the series and was replaced by Dinesh Chandimal as the stand-in captain. Meanwhile, in the ODI series, he was replaced by Upul Tharanga as the interim captain of the team.
For the upcoming T20 campaign against Australia, it would be an arduous task for the selectors to find a replacement for Mathews. Dinesh Chandimal and Tharanga both are not in their best forms to play the shortest format of the game. The tract record of both the players are weak. In the last series with South Africa, Chandimal scored 6, 22 and 5 runs in three matches respectively. Tharanga played only the third T20 and scored 20 off 11 balls.
A statement from Sri Lanka cricket stated the captain will be selected for all the three formats of the game. They are most likely to meet on 7th of the month. The practice match with Australia is on February 15. The T20 series will start from 17th. | 2019-04-20T11:16:12 | https://www.cricketbolo.com/skipper-angelo-mathews-ruled-out-of-t20-series-with-australia |

» Beyonce’s World Tour: The Mrs. Carter Show? The Beyonce World Beyonce’s World Tour: The Mrs. Carter Show?
“I may have an announcement after the performance — fans should just stay tuned to see,” Beyonce said of her post-Super Bowl plans during a recent press conference.
A Live Nation rep did not immediately return a request for comment from Billboard. The potential tour would likely come alongside a new album: according to GQ, Beyonce has been working on her follow-up to “4” with The-Dream, Pharrell Williams, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, with 50 songs already recorded. “4” bowed atop the Billboard 200 with sales of 310,000 in 2011, marking Beyonce’s fourth No. 1 solo album. | 2019-04-22T06:21:12 | http://thebeyonceworld.com/2013/02/02/beyonces-world-tour-the-mrs-carter-show/?shared=email&msg=fail |
Ofttimes it has been difficult to explain the role of software protection in hardware-protected secure systems, but recently security researchers have helped us out by providing many examples of zero-day exploits where flaws that are baked into hardware or firmware lead to exploitable vulnerabilities in systems. These flaws bypass all perimeter security and/or defeat hardware mechanisms for security, leaving unprotected software at the mercy of the hacker.
In the last year we’ve seen respected, massively deployed protocols and systems fall: GSoap, WiFi WPA Handshake hacks, and BlueTooth compromised by BlueBorne, to name a few. The latest and perhaps most pervasive of all are the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities that affect a wide variety of high performance processors from multiple vendors.
There has been much written about Meltdown & Spectre. For this post I’ve relied upon an excellent article by Jim Turley, analyst extraordinaire, titled: “Hardware Bugs Afflict Nearly All CPUs”.
All high-performance processors (for twenty years or more) have speculative execution and memory caching. Speculative execution will cause memory to be accessed and cached, even if the memory is in a protected space.
Meltdown (Intel CPUs only, so far) relies upon speculative execution after an exception to access protected memory with a second part that it uses to extract the contents of the memory in a subtle and convoluted way.
Spectre (Intel, AMD and some ARM chips) works similarly but uses a deliberate mispredicted branch instead of an exception, and is harder to patch.
Bottom-line: whatever is stored in memory could potentially be exposed… code, keys and data.
For more technical details on these exploits, including links to the original research papers, I can also recommend the wikipedia entry.
Disclosure of widespread vulnerability is always accompanied by hyperbole, especially in the mainstream media, but somewhat justified in this case.
Since it is a hardware problem, there will not be a hardware fix until the processors have been redesigned, so software patches will need to be applied. For compute intensive tasks there will be a performance impact of a few percent, dependent on the specifics of the chip, OS and memory, but less than initially predicted (20 to 30%). Antivirus programs, for example, won’t be very effective against this since the exploit just relies on normal-looking code.
With the architectural features of deep pipelines, speculative execution, and complicated memory caching pervasive in the industry, multiple chipset and operating system vendors are left scrambling to put patches in place before useful exploits are developed.
Software protection, selectively applied, will protect code, keys and data against these and other attacks yet to be discovered. Software Protection has the added advantage that it only needs to be applied to items that need protection and doesn’t have a general impact on overall system performance like the system-wide patches for Spectre and Meltdown will have.
With the above in mind, we can see that software protection could provide fallback protection with renewability and diversity to maintain and improve system security over the product life cycle, even in the face of hardware vulnerabilities.
Adopt a proper cybersecurity defense model and diligently follow it! It will help focus your efforts in the battle against cyber attackers and raise awareness within your developer community for best practices.

It's a Mystery!: Fall is definitely here!
Just took this picture the other evening---the sky was so beautiful, I couldn’t resist. There is a nip in the air in the mornings and a cool breeze through the days. The smell of leaves and wood-burning stoves often fills the air reminding one of Thanksgiving and the onset of the Christmas season.
The “girls” have been busy lately: here’s a good pic of Spot (in the front) with Charlie and Fluffy. The one (of the two) Orpington who is the biggest and with the most developed comb, I’ve named Fluffy because she is enormous when she fluffs out her feathers. The eggs are coming fast and furious---usually about 6 a day! Charlie hasn’t gotten any nastier, but I still can’t turn my back on him without fear of attack. He’s a sneaky devil, especially if you have eggs in your pockets. I think he’s just being protective…just doing his job!
There was a rumor that a mountain lion was roaming our ditch area (which runs beside the chicken yard) but we didn’t see him at all and all the chickens are still there. Perhaps the cat has left the area. I guess a few cats disappeared during his stay. Ours are fine, though. Nothing new to report here---all is well (or as well as can be expected in this economy) and happiness reigns!
Fall is here as well. We had our first frost and first scattered flurries over the weekend. It's been mild and clear the past few days but the weather guessers are saying to brace for an Arctic front by he first of the week.
Ah HA! And another one gets a name! I love it and you know what that means, right? Saved from the dinner table because you can never eat what you name :D Fluffy is beautiful, Sue, a blond bombshell of a girl. Charlie's got his hands full (a chicken with hands no less) with his bevy of beauties.
I hope your cats all stay safe, too. I know mountain lions have to eat, too, but goshhhhhhh.
I LOVE seeing the girls and Charlie. I know I'm a pest cause I keep asking about them. I hope the cats are safe. That's scary. | 2019-04-23T20:49:24 | http://suealehman.blogspot.com/2010/11/fall-is-definitely-here.html |
Possibilities abound with this downtown Crested Butte property. Located steps from the main bus stop and one block off of Elk Avenue, this 3 bedroom home offers lovely views, a large yard and access to everything Crested Butte has to offer. The home is nothing fancy, but it has been well maintained and is solidly built. The value comes from the fact that this is one of the only opportunities to own five contiguous town lots in town. The property can be subdivided to build another home or to be sold separately. This home is currently a rental and is not historic so it could be moved to another property or torn down to build your dream home. Let your imagine run wild and explore the opportunities for future development in a great area of town. | 2019-04-24T06:51:48 | https://durangolandandhomes.com/real-estate/755742/crested-butte-real-estate/624-maroon-avenue-crested-butte-co/ |
When two dancers from the same Jacksonville show bar turned up dead, investigators believed it might have been the work of a serial killer.
One of those cases was solved but the other was not and now, decades later, investigators believe a murderer may still be on the loose.
In an Action News Jax partnership with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and Project: Cold Case, we spoke with the victim’s sister and the detectives working on the case.
At the corner of University Boulevard South and Philips Highway there was a club called Sands Speakeasy Showbar.
Kathy Boswell, 27, worked there as a dancer. It was the last place she was seen alive.
The date was Feb. 22, 1984.
Her sister, Karen St. Louis, remembers that day well.
“I remember getting the phone call from my mother saying that Kathy was missing,” said St. Louis.
She said she knew right away that something was not right because of a phone call Boswell made before she disappeared.
“Kathy got off work. She called my mother and told my mother she was coming to see her,” said St. Louis.
Boswell left her daughter, Jamie, at her babysitter’s house. The babysitter later called police when Boswell didn’t show up.
“She would not ever have not picked her up. It just wasn’t in her nature to be that way,” said St. Louis.
Sgt. Dan Janson, with the Sheriff's Office, said that about four months earlier, the body of another dancer from the same club had been found in a borrow pit in St. Johns County.
The suspect in that case was William Darrell Lindsey, a convicted serial killer who died in prison in 2001.
“Can I say specifically that he’s responsible for Kathy’s case? I can’t say that at this point, but he certainly would be a person of interest,” said Janson.
St. Louis said there was someone else who made her worry about her sister.
“She had a boyfriend at the time who had a propensity for violence and we knew this and we were not happy at all,” said St. Louis.
But the boyfriend was not officially named a suspect.
A few days after Boswell disappeared, the Sheriff's Office found her car at the Lion’s Gate Apartments, less than a mile away from the club.
“There was a set of boots in the car and there were some initials written on the inside and so we were concerned about that,” said Janson.
Almost a year later, construction crews working just off of I-10 East and State Road 228 found human remains near a fence in a wooded area.
About four years after that discovery, dental records confirmed the remains were those of Kathy Boswell.
Baker County Detective Tracie Benton is now working on the case.
“She was a small female. She didn’t weigh a lot. The killer just picked her up and dumped her over the fence,” said Benton.
Benton showed Action News Jax the original case file, which contained only a few pages and did not have much information, compared to the file today, which is a lot thicker.
“Today’s file, from going through and gathering more information,” said Benton.
Together JSO and the Baker County Sheriff's Office believe the case can be solved.
Hope has faded for St. Louis, but she said it’s not completely gone.
“I forgive the person who killed her. I prayed for the person that killed her, but I would still like to know who it is,” said St. Louis.
In the meantime, she’s making sure the name Kathy Boswell is not forgotten.

Forget Donald Trump's promises to bring back mining jobs. There's a new economic strategy at work in Appalachia.
Such promises helped sway working-class Americans to cast their votes for Trump in unprecedented numbers; he won West Virginia by 42 points—his largest margin in any state—and flipped Pennsylvania to the Republican camp for the first time since 1988. But while the surprising outcome of the election may extend the lifespan of the coal industry by a few more years, many in the region are now convinced that the future of Appalachia doesn’t lie in the coal fields, which are facing economic challenges that have nothing to do with the current occupant of the White House, or in the factories, which these days rely more on machines than people. Instead, policy experts and community leaders are fashioning a new economic development strategy for their communities—one that borrows more from liberal theories of urban revitalization than from Trump’s pledges to bring back lost manufacturing and mining jobs. “We realized that if we didn’t address the economic restructuring of these regions, they wouldn’t survive,” says Todd Christensen, executive director of the Southwest Virginia Cultural Heritage Foundation, who served as a deputy director in Virginia’s Department of Housing and Community Development from 2004 to 2009.
This new economy is already emerging in parts of Southwest Virginia. During the spring and summer months, there are concerts and music festivals almost every night along the “Crooked Road,” a 330-mile stretch of Southwest Virginia that highlight the region’s musical heritage and generates more than $9 million in tourism revenue every year. The Crooked Road was the brainchild of Christensen and Joe Wilson, a music historian and fan of the region’s music traditions. “In this area, if you go to a family picnic, there’s always music,” Christensen says. “It’s in the water here, it’s real.” In 2011, a new 30,000-square-foot arts center opened in Abingdon, Virginia, showcasing traditional crafts from throughout the region. And last fall, the region received a $3 million grant from the Obama administration to bolster its outdoor tourism industry and expand access to hiking, biking, camping, and water sports. The project is expected to create 200 new jobs and bring in $30 million in revenue over the next five years.
Already, the focus on tourism has had an impact. From 2000 to 2014, tourist spending in the region increased by almost $322 million, according to an analysis by Friends of Southwest Virginia, a local advocacy group. And while overall employment in the region declined by 1.2 percent during that period—driven by steep declines in the farming, mining, and manufacturing industries—employment in the creative industries (arts, entertainment, recreation, food, and hotels) increased by 29 percent.
Thanks to these efforts, the number of residents in Southwest Virginia aged 25-34 with a college degree has increased at a rate that’s slightly higher than the national average. Some counties and towns have seen their populations grow by over 10 percent. “We are seeing a correlation between those communities that have embraced the creative economy—be it music, crafts, or outdoor tourism—and those that are seeing population increases,” Christensen says.

What Is Digital Transformation And How It Is Carried Out?
The truth is, digital transformation is part of a larger technological process and the change associated with digital technology application in all aspects of human society. As a matter of fact, digital transformation is reinvention of organization through the utilization of digital technology in an effort to improve the way it serves its constituents and perform its functions. Digital refers to the use of technology that’s generating, storing and processing data.
On the other hand, the term transformation refers to fundamental changes to the daily operations of the organization from the types of services and products it is producing to how it is being delivered. An organization that’s in need of a transformation whether it is government agency, business, utility or service like healthcare providers respond normally to change in marketplace and consumer demand for a service or product.
In reality, there are 3 major building blocks in which companies must acquire to transform customer experience digitally successfully and these include customer understanding, top line growth and lastly, customer touch points.
Customer understanding – most companies start taking advantage of their past investments in systems to be able to get thorough understanding of market segments and specific geographies. In fact, there are some companies that even explore social media to have a much better understanding of what are the things that make their customers happy and to what causes their dissatisfaction.
Aside from that, companies are able to learn how to promote their brands a lot effectively using digital media. Companies are even building new online communities to advise and build loyalty with customers in different fields regardless be it in medical, financial services products, real estate and so on.
Top line growth – in order to enhance in-person sales conversation, companies are making use of technology. As an example of this is, financial services firms are using tablet based presentations instead of paper based slide decks to make their sales pitches. To help both customers and the sales people engage in analytics based planning, insurance companies have introduced mobile tools.
Medical devices sales force starts substituting in-person interactions using digital interactions. So for an example, when you pay a visit to a doctor’s clinic, their staff might leave smart device with video and several other info on new products.
Customer touch points – it is possible to further improve customer service by using digital initiatives. A quick example, a bank has established a Twitter and Facebook account to answer complaints of clients quickly, which helps the customers to avoid going to the branch in person. With this digital initiative, it leveraged expert community that has allowed crowd sourcing with several employees and customers. | 2019-04-26T00:29:58 | http://www.guzelwebtasarim.com/overwhelmed-by-the-complexity-of-businesses-this-may-help.html |

Pack it, snack it! Sometimes we need something little to pack in our purse or take out to the playground. A whole lunchbox is too much. Introducing our mini solution... our ECOdipper. The small round container, which contains 1/2 cup of wet foods, is good for applesauce, cut fruit, nuts & berries, but its pressure fitting stainless steel lid is not 100% leak-proof because no plastic is used. Made in India. Dipper dimensions are 4 inches in diameter by 1 1/2 inches tall. Independently lab tested as lead-free, BPA-free and food-safe. | 2019-04-23T14:48:46 | http://bentobits.com/item_70/ECOdipper--round-stainless-steel-snack-box.htm |
I notice that John has a post on transport economics issues this week. I reckon it is an interesting field and one that was once taught in Australian economics departments – not just road transport economics but such things as aviation economics and shipping economics. Maybe it is partly nostalgia, but I think there are good reasons for introducing more applied microeconomics subjects in economics curricula around the country that are concerned with the important policy issues we face as a community.
Health/resource and environmental economics are applied areas sometimes taught these days but I think subjects on transport economics, public finance (and especially tax theory) and specific fields such as defence economics have now almost entirely vanished.
In my view, it is a pity. There are too many technique-oriented subjects (quantitative economics, game theory and econometrics) and too few courses that teach students how to use their brains to use economic analysis in practical settings that yield big policy payoffs.
Transport economics is an interesting example.
Roads, for example, are a complex capital asset. They are a more or less durable asset and there are increasing returns to pavement thickness but often limited possibilities to build very thick roads in Australia because of relatively low traffic. Hence there are important trade-offs between seeking durability and low maintenance costs and traffic levels. There is a discreteness in designing road networks that does not admit standard continuous optimisation techniques. The discrete problems here are tough. Moreover, road network design is subject to “paradoxes” such as the Braess Paradox whereby adding a link can increase congestion on all links in a network.
The pricing issues – congestion, heavy vehicle damages, car accidents/insurance issues and pollution are important policy issues that teach students how to internalise externalities in a simple context. With efficient pricing, a theory of road supply can be built based on the idea that a road’s capacity can be expanded if it makes a profit. With efficient pricing too the network complications – such as logical paradoxes – vanish.
I could go on and talk about the role of traffic flow uncertainty, the role of public transport, the role of second best policies etc but the key point I want to make is that much of standard microeconomic theory arises here. Moreover, the issues are practically important with multi-billion dollar public sector costs associated with congestion, road maintenance costs, traffic accident costs as well as the capital costs of building new roads.
This is a polemical note but I’ll be even more polemical and wonder aloud too how about much value PhD research contributes in the applied economics area these days. What about a PhD on the Australian taxi industry or, for that matter, the electricity sector. Would not such research be more socially useful (and more interesting) than the elaborate intractable model building that often seems heavy on technique and low on thinking and whose outputs ultimately often relies on unconvincing numerical simulations or econometrics.
I did my Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of New South Wales, Kensington campus, Sydney; and in my third year I did the optional unit on the microeconomics of the Greater London Council. This covered both the user pays principle, as well as the pricing of council infrastructure and services. The concept that roads and footpaths are social overhead capital, that attracts free riders, was well illustrated in many case studies. But London also has private parks. Some of their old railway stations are now converted private buildings. Private property rights were very much protected by council by laws. The new subway being built for a London Metro extension, will pose significant pricing dilemmas. Of course, Sydney’s problems with its PPP road and rail joint ventures, would be better managed if politicians had any idea about the free rider principle and a clearer idea of the user pays principle. The current proposal to make Harbor Bridge commuters pay $3 each way, so as to cross subsidies the metro commuter using the, as yet to be built, West Harbor Tunnel is simply an inefficient use of pricing policy. User pays means just that, users of the new metro should pay the full price necessary to cover their own transport cost. London showed the way with its congestion charge, no free riders there. The whole area of economic rent also needs to be explained to transport planners. Robert Tollison best explained the traps involved, for the uneducated politician and/or public planner, of not reading a contract carefully before signing away overly liberal pricing powers. Exclusivity may be commercially desirable, but it will always be economically inefficient.
Economist, 15/7/18. An inability to kill off failing companies seems to have two main effects. First, the existence of the zombies drives down the average productivity level of businesses. Second, capital and labour are wrongly allocated to such firms. That stops money and workers shifting to more efficient businesses, making it harder for the latter to compete. In a sense, therefore, the corporate zombies are eating healthy firms.
hc, what you call your ‘polemical note’ is concerned with questions that should be debated more in a public or semi-public forum, IMHO. Economic blogs seem to me to be a suitable forum among others. These important questions concern content and aims of university degrees.
Gregory J McKenzie contributed to the topic by outlining the content of an option in a Commerce Degree in one of Australia’s major universities. I’d like to come back to this later, if there is interest in the proposed debate.
I’d like to say a few words in relation to your post, starting with what seems to me the easier segment, namely what are essential requirements for a PhD?
An empiricist might approach the posed question by carrying out a survey of possibly variable standards of analytical rigour, across all or a sub-sample of PhD issuing higher education institutions and report the results as an answer. I suggest this method is the preferred one for many university administrators, particularly those who some academics would call ‘corporatist’. Hard evidence that ‘our mission and vision statements’ are what ‘the market wants’, etc.
I don’t think this is what you have in mind. In any case, I don’t.
IMHO, the essential requirement for a PhD is an original non-trivial contribution to knowledge in a reasonably well delineated area, which does not exclude interdisciplinary questions, given existing discipline categorisation.
The ‘social value’ of questions asked and addressed in a PhD is, IMO, only tangentially relevant. | 2019-04-21T06:16:35 | https://johnquiggin.com/2017/07/17/sandpit-101/ |

The title aptly translates to ‘The Unreal Versions’, and it can be seen as a continuation of the album 'Les Irreals Visions', released a little more than a year ago. Six tracks, taken from previous releases, have been re-arranged and recorded from zero. FOSCOR introduces different instruments to the compositions, creating a more intimate feel and ambient approach, ultimately taking the music to new boundaries.
Departing from their black metal roots of the first three records and building on the progressive foundations of 'Those Horrors Wither' (2014), the Catalans found a way to express darkness by using doom infused tempo’s, heavy riffing and adding clean vocals on 'Les Irreals Visions' (2017). On the upcoming digital release, ‘Les Irreals Versions’ FOSCOR have even pushed beyond that, providing an alternative, yet no less enchanting perspective on their music. | 2019-04-24T16:49:08 | http://www.season-of-mist.com/bands/foscor |

Since we have come back from New Zealand where we did lots of walking and some very steep hills at times, we have decided to keep up the level of fitness that we achieved there and to try and improve it!
Over here we don’t have anything nearly as high as the mountains we climbed in New Zealand (we didn’t actually climb mountains… just bits of them) Over there one time we climbed up 400m, and another time 5oom after an 8 mile walk!
Two weeks ago we found a new circular walk near our house past Broadwater Lake. We had done the walk before in part, but were never sure we could get through the whole way. We managed it but the area was still very damp from the floods, so we needed wellies!
Last week we decided to try & find a hill, and being out in that direction anyway, we found Reigate Hill. It was quite a cold day anyway, but at the top of the hill (where we started our walk, the wind was howling & it was threatening rain, so we had to wrap ourselves up warmly!
We decided to go down the hill and then back up, to warm us up, and to practice some hills :-). Reigate hill is only 220m high, and we weren’t going to go down to sea level… how hard could it be?
Very! I think we picked a particularly steep way to climb back up, but the 100m ascent took us at least 20 minutes & we couldn’t talk by the time we got to the top!
Wilson however was in his element! As we were struggling to climb the hill, he kept bringing us sticks to throw down the hill for him! He must have climbed the hill 20 times in the time we did it once!
He was a bit surprised when we got to the top of the hill though!
Especially when he got up close!
And this one seemed to have lost her udders!
I guess he was hot after all that hill climbing!
I’ll leave it to you Michelle to pick which photo you would like for your pet challenge this week!

Ha ha! We actually do that in the water in summer…. we play stick and then try & race Wilson for it, though he usually wins in the water as much as on land… he’s just not very good at swimming into waves… the water tends to go up his nose!
You must be fit as a fiddle!
Not at all…. yet…. But a lot better than we were before Australia & New Zealand!
My phone has not charged, so I am off for my gentle walk down hill and up again! Enjoy your day!
I’m beginning to notice a very dark side to you, Marie.
🙂 Noticing the family resemblance?
Those cows look almost as big as our American Buffalo. When visiting Yellowstone, they came right up to the car window….could not believe how HUGE they were!
Of course!! I couldn’t chose less than 4!
He is very clever 🙂 Thank you! | 2019-04-26T08:48:29 | https://looneyatoms.com/2014/03/11/reigate-hill/ |

Several readers ask me which wine to choose for health. Although several studies show red wine benefits heart and other body parts there is no one grape, wine or region that can guarantee maximum benefits and my advice is to drink what you like the best, but avoid the really cheap wines which have hardly any anti oxidants.
One reader has gone to the extent of asking which particular brand of wine he should drink. My answer is simple: go according to your budget and pick wines that you like-it does not matter if they are Indian or imported, red or white or pink, still or sparkling. It is slightly more helpful if you drink red wine although some recent studies indicate that white wine may be as effective.
Several studies have shown that daily consumption of up to 2 glasses of red wine prove beneficial to the heart. Although the real reason is still not very well known, it is attributed to antioxidants present in the skins, pips and stalks of the grapes. Resveratrol is the all-important chemical that is considered beneficial for the heart and many wine drinkers like to know which wine they should drink where the content of this positive chemical is highest so they can drink for health.
Unfortunately, it is also a fact that when the wine is made and the colour is extracted from the grape skins, the level of resveratrol extraction is never on the mind of the winemaker. In fact, only a small portion of the available amount is extracted through a technique called maceration.
Dr. Andrews Waterhouse is the Professor of Enology at the University of California, Davis Campus. He is a wine chemist who specializes in phenolic compounds and their effect on the taste of wine and their health effects. I have met him on a couple of occasions at the international Heart and Health Conference in Napa. He says that a maximum of about a third of resveratrol is extracted from the grape- usually even less. Tannat grape variety (found mostly in southwest of France and Uruguay) has perhaps the highest resveratrol level; Cabernet Sauvignon is known to be so rich in the chemical that once Chile claimed that their wines were the healthiest because they use a lot of this grape in their wine. But in actual practice, it is extracted much less; otherwise it would be too tannic, dry on the palate and nearly undrinkable.
Dr. Jim McCord is another wine chemist in San Francisco with whom I discussed the issue since he and his wife Lesley who have worked for Gallo for a decade, focus on the phenolics and flavours in wine. He laughs it off by saying that if you are looking for resveratrol, you need to drink 10 liters of wine a day-you are probably better off taking the resveratrol pills that are available in the market. Of course, these pills don’t give the pleasure that wine does and the medical opinion is still divided on their usefulness.
The most honest opinion would be to drink two glasses of wine a day (ok…maybe three, though the increased alcohol could be harmful for other organs), preferably red (you might look at Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon or Nebbiolo, if you like the flavour). Don’t worry about the label and brand though I would recommend staying away from the cheap wines-not only are you missing out on good flavour and pleasure, but the cheaper ones have much less anti-oxidants due to a higher juice/skin ratio and generally have more chemicals like Sulphites infused to keep there flavours going off.
Focus more on the quality, flavour and your palate and pocket… And of course, limit the quantity of daily intake. | 2019-04-23T04:26:38 | http://delhiwineclub.com/Views/view_55_405.aspx?serialwise=946 |

Bargain Booze owner Conviviality has sold its Conviviality Direct wholesale business to Magners owner C&C Group.
The move will save around 1,900 jobs and will ensure that all trade creditors of the Conviviality Direct business will be paid in full.
Last week Conviviality said it planned to appoint administrators. The news followed the stepping down of its chief executive, Diana Hunter, after the company issued two profit warnings in the space of a few days and revealed an overlooked £30 million tax bill to be paid to HMRC.
Conviviality Direct, which includes the brands Matthew Clark and Bibendum, is being purchased by C&C Group through a pre-pack administration. The sale also includes the disposal of Catalyst, the company's brand representation business, and the Peppermint outdoor events business. | 2019-04-18T19:02:17 | https://www.theretailbulletin.com/news/conviviality_sells_its_wholesale_arm_to_magners_owner_cc_group_05-04-18/ |
(MSNBC USA News US American Live News Stream Online from New York, dollar, Washington, DC). Owned by NBCUniversal newsgroup, which is a division of NBCUniversal (owned by Comcast), MSNBC is a news network on satellite television and cable. It provides current affairs news coverage NBC News. Under a partnership between NBC and Microsoft, Msnbc news TV live stream was founded in July 1996. With its headquarters in New York City, it broadcasts in the US, Canada, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Basically, it was a replacement for a channel, America’s Talking. Microsoft was deprived of its stakes in MSNBC and msnbc.com in2005 and 2012 respectively. MSNBC developed editorial relationships with its parent organization, NBC News. This helped them sharpen their image in the news market.
Launched on July 15, 1996, MSNBC News TV broadcasted news with interactive programming and a show featuring Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. Later on, MSNBC decided to take politics as a brand with a large dose of opinion and personality. MSNBC had to face a lot of difficulty in attracting viewers. So when NBC used MSNBC for broadcasting longer stories after September 11, 2001 attacks, it helped them to boost their image. After these events, they started to call themselves “America’s News Channel” and made some new hirings but this resulted in a decline in ratings.
In December 2005, NBC acquired 32% of Microsoft’s share of MSNBC. In the years 2007 and 2008, the channel ratings for MSNBC increased largely with an increase in Prime-Time viewing by 61%. Later MSNBC’s ratings grew by 158% during the 2008 presidential election’s campaign. The audience for the Msnbc News channel was doubled over the last 4-year time period. In 2010, MSNBC gained a solid lead over CNN because of the final months of the presidential campaign. By 2017, MSNBC had a number of viewers that CNN News Channel. It gained popularity rapidly and had topped both CNN and FOX News Channel in ratings and viewership.

Fort Loudon, PA -- Today, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn and other officials toured the dam at Cowans Gap State Park and discussed how the Restore Pennsylvania proposal could help address green infrastructure needs in the state.
"The spillway is not adequate, which means in a maximum flooding event water could flow over the top, erode the earthen dam and cause it to fail, creating bigger problems downstream," Dunn said. "There are 131 in state parks and forests. Infrastructure costs at state parks and forests throughout the commonwealth require the type of financial commitment Restore Pennsylvania could provide."
Cowans Gap Dam, which creates the 42 acre lake, was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. At the time of construction the only piece of heavy equipment at the camp was one bull dozer -- the rest of the work creating the earthen dam was done with shovels, wheel barrows, and human effort.
"The Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation recently released a report outlining a billion dollars in infrastructure needs across our park and forest system," said PPFF President Marci Mowery. "Restore Pennsylvania provides a vehicle to address those needs, such as the outdated dam that we've seen here today at Cowans Gap."
The 1,085-acre Cowans Gap State Park in Fulton County includes campgrounds, cabins, and hiking trails. | 2019-04-18T20:38:33 | https://www.media.pa.gov/Pages/DCNR_details.aspx?newsid=560 |

Most treatments of economic change harbour a conceptual silence: the refusal to recognise that global restructuring is occurring on a gendered terrain.
This book's unique contribution to the literature on restructuring and adjustment lies in its application of feminist scholarship to macroeconomics.
The contributors focus on these conceptual silences, examining macroeconomic methods and policies in order to propose new research strategies to deliver a more gender-aware economics.

Cherry blossoms to bloom four days faster than average. March. 16, 2019 07:46. [email protected],[email protected].
Spring has finally come. Spring flowers, such as Japanese apricot flowers and azalea, are starting to blossom in the southern region, heralding spring. Blossoming flowers, which have survived the bitter cold of winter, make us marvel at the mystery of life.
Cherry blossoms festivals will be held in Yeouido and Seokchon Lake in Seoul staring from Arbor Day on April 5. The Yeouido Spring Flowers Festival, which marks its 15th anniversary this year, will feature a variety of spring flowers, such as flowering cherry, azalea, forsythia, royal azalea, bridal wreath, and Japanese sunflower. The festival will also have other performances and experience events, including singing contest, street performance, cartoon character parade, flower carriage, and essay contest. The Seokchon Lake in Jamsil is another famous tourist destination for spring. During the festival, visitors can enjoy cultural and art performances, such as concerts, caricature drawing and face painting.
The Garden of Morning Calm in Gapyeong is holding a spring festival from April 21 to May 27. Visitors will be able to enjoy spring to the fullest with some 5,000 types of flower trees planted in the 330,000 m² area. White crocuses, yulans, and cornelian cherry flowers welcome visitors at the entrance of the arboretum. Some 60,000 tulips will be boasting their beauty all over the arboretum, including Road to Heaven, Heaven Garden, and Moon light Garden.
The Everland in Yongin will hold a tulip festival from Saturday to late April. Visitors will be able to enjoy 1.2 million spring flowers of 110 species, including tulips, daffodils, and muscaris. In particular, 10 new species of tulips, resembling the shape of flame and rare species of tulips, including “Aladdin” and “Pretty Woman,” will be introduced for the first time.
An azalea festival will be held from April 13-21 at Goryeo Mountain in Incheon. As many as 350,000 people visited the festival last year to learn the history of Ganghwa and experience the natural environment there. Visitors will be able to taste the mood of spring and art, watching the azalea ridge. There will also be azalea photo spots, small markets, regional products market, and food market. | 2019-04-20T10:37:11 | http://english.donga.com/Home/3/all/26/1671243/1?m=kor |
Dwayne Johnson Shares Amazing Acting Advice: "Take the Risk"
Dwayne Johnson’s new movie ‘San Andreas’ hits theaters in the next few weeks and the former wrestler recently sat down with Variety to discuss his acting career – it is inspiring.
Dwayne Johnson’s last movie ‘Furious 7‘ was a box office hit. His new TV show for HBO ‘Ballers‘ hits TV screens on June 21st and his new movie ‘San Andreas‘ will be another huge movie to add to his IMDB profile. But, the point of all these movies and TV shows is to show the world how versatile Dwayne Johnson is.
It ultimately comes down to taking risks. Johnson points out that when he first ventured into acting in Hollywood there wasn’t a blueprint for an actor like himself. Instead, he took risks on movies, TV shows, and other productions in order to land himself as one of the top earning actors in our generation.
When a casting director hands you extra work, turn it into a speaking role. | 2019-04-26T02:37:11 | http://www.projectcasting.com/tips-and-advice/dwayne-johnson-shares-amazing-acting-advice-take-the-risk/ |
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Commercial Pilot – Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the commercial pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes FAA-S-8081-12C, Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards (PTS) for Airplane.
• Safety Promotion in the form of ongoing engagement with both external stakeholders (e.g., the aviation training industry) and FAA policy divisions.
The FAA has developed this ACS and its associated guidance in collaboration with a diverse group of aviation training experts. The goal is to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system, including knowledge test question development and conduct of the practical test. The FAA acknowledges and appreciates the many hours that these aviation experts have contributed toward this goal. This level of collaboration, a hallmark of a robust safety culture, strengthens and enhances aviation safety at every level of the airman certification system. | 2019-04-25T18:41:46 | https://wingsrealityedu.com/store/product/airman-certification-standards-commercial-pilot-airplane/ |

I don't know what the hell is happening with synthpop this year.
See, in 2015 it seemed like every other week I was covering another band drawing from various points in the 80s to update their sound, for better or worse. 2016, though... I don't know if I just haven't covered as much of it, but that quick spurt of tight, synth-driven and accessible music seems to have faded almost as quickly as it arrived, either splitting towards the more immediately danceable electronic scene or towards different eras of retro sound. And that's a bit dispiriting in my books - as much as the 80s has felt like a well-trod ground when it comes to musical nostalgia, I still feel there's more that could be done to balance old and new in the modern age if given the chance.
As such, I was definitely curious to cover Shura, a British producer and singer-songwriter who built some groundswell on YouTube with a string of singles and got signed to Polydor for her first record, starting her first ever headlining tour this year with Tegan & Sara. To me, a lot of that is a good sign, because even if this record's rollout has seen nearly every song on it become a 'single' - which you would kind of expect, given her YouTube roots - it seemed like there was some serious attention given to her as a songwriter who aimed for a more confessional and detailed side of writing you don't often see in synthpop. So I figured what the hell and I checked out her debut album Nothing's Real - how did that go?
Honestly, a lot better than I expected. This record really came as a pleasant surprise for me in the same way that E.MO.TION from Carly Rae Jepsen did last year - and arguably, it's even better, perhaps not quite as immediately catchy but with tighter writing and grooves and fewer missteps. And while I don't expect critics to fall over themselves praising this - a shame, because it really is great - I do think it'll quietly pick up a lot of attention, because while it might not immediately grab you, it definitely sticks.
And I'm trying to figure out why, so let's start with Shura herself. As a singer, she's said her main influence was Janet Jackson and you can definitely tell in her husky, tightly-multi-tracked delivery - and while you could argue she never really cuts loose, it's also not a record that's aiming for bombast. It's an album that's aiming for subtlety and smaller emotions, relying on Shura to convey enough through her delivery to pull in the audience. And here's the thing: she's not a presence that'll dominate a song so much as ride and compliment the grooves, but she compensates for with tasteful multi-tracking only when she needs it, real production that preserves vocal texture, and most importantly, a commitment to interesting vocal lines that often add to the underlying instrumental, not just mimic them.
And on the topic of the instrumentation and production... this is what 80s revival synthpop should sound like, because the production on this record is fantastic. Again, while there is a part of me that wishes thing could go a little bigger or that this record cut loose a little more in terms of the guitar lines, I'm also very much aware that this record is aiming to be a much more intimate, streamlined affair, with the sort of textured analog synths that have the presence but never the immediate bite. Again, that's not saying that these instrumental can't capture that nervous, uncertain atmosphere that often ran at the emotional core of new wave, but that she's getting there with more tact, with quick tempos, tighter melodic interplay, and letting natural analog crackle and hints of futuristic effects and guitar stings add to the momentum. And none of it obscures the foundational melodies, which means even the slower tracks have remarkably strong hooks that never feel like a retread, with a mix expansive enough to not just sound more expensive than it probably was, but also to intensify those feelings of anxiety and loneliness. And sure, all of these are tricks that the 80s perfected, but what I also appreciated was the amount of liquid guitar tones that filled up the mix to play off the synths, right from the start against the strings on the title track to the hook of 'Kidz 'N Stuff' that ends the chorus with a really bright spike of synth before a harsher guitar hits a few notes to anchor the anger, or take how that little guitar lilt fills up the back half of the hook on 'Indecision' against the rubbery beat, more elegant synth, and piano countermelody. The guitars take more prominence towards the back half of the record, from the misty, borderline War On Drugs atmospherics against that sturdy bassline, or the choppier, chimes-touched 'Tongue Tied' that with a synth tone that feels straight out of a Toto song, or how it takes a thicker prominence against the watery flutters of 'Make It Up', especially on the hook, or the distant tolls over the smoke of 'White Light' that goes straight for early 80s alien sounds with the wiry gurgle of the synth and mostly sticks the landing, especially when the outro reassembles. But even the songs where the guitar takes a lesser role like the bare-bones bass and piano of 'Touch' or the delicate popping beat and spikes of synth on '2Shy', the melodies are so damn good I can't help but be pulled in! Again, that's not saying this album is without its missteps, but instrumentally they're pretty minor, mostly in tracks that can feel a tad long like 'White Light', even with the half-assembled hidden track that really feels peripheral. And the only dud for me is 'The Space Tapes', a nine minute blurred over series of sampled demos and remixes of three songs mashed together, complete with pitch-shifting that I could have done without, but even still it's not terrible and fairly easy to ignore.
But where I really want to talk is about the lyrics and themes, and where Shura takes a step you don't often see in new wave synthpop: straightforward vulnerability. As I said before, most new wave had a mood of nervous anxiety, but it always tried to obscure it with flash and tight grooves. Shura might have the grooves, but she tilts much deeper into the real vulnerability that Janet Jackson showed on her quieter material and doesn't shy away from quieter but no less intense emotions. And while I'll get to the narrative in a second, I really do love how this record is framed, because while everyone around her is telling Shura it's all going to be okay and work out, with even her own mind telling her that, it only serves to turn her emotions inwards and while she's mature enough to understand them, it doesn't make them go away. But now to the narrative and themes... well, on the very surface you could describe it as a breakup record, but of course it goes more complicated, as this woman comes back into their life and they try to sustain a friendship that seems almost seems loaded with too many long buried emotions to work, which leads to a second breakup that seems to cut as deep. And while on 'What It Gonna Be' and 'Tongue Tied' and '2Shy' you see the hesitation and uncertainty that undercuts the confidence of the hookups and emotional connections, they're straightforward enough to cut just as strongly... and that's to say nothing of the songs where the relationship falls apart in slow motion like 'Kidz N' Stuff' and 'What Happened To Us' and 'Make It Up' and especially 'Touch', which features probably my favourite line on the album with 'We start to live the lies we tell ourselves' - one of the most perfect ways to capture trying to remain friends with an ex where the deeper feelings haven't quite cooled. And yet around this record are interludes and snippets where we hear conversation with Shura and her family, including a hidden track on the back of 'White Light' where she shows fear of her parents dying. And believe it or not, this makes sense thematically, because this is a record that values that ephemeral connection: relationships might fall apart, family might split or die, but you want to hold onto something there as long as you can, even if it doesn't always make a lot of sense.
Now sure, that might seem like a pretty basic emotional truth to express, but this album's greatest strengths come in simplicity and cohesion, holding together fleeting emotional connections when logic would see them fall apart because damn it, there's something there. There's poignancy and humanity and even a type of romance in that subtle desperation, and when balanced against how well this record can hold its melodic structures and grooves together, you have a quietly powerful work that really does grab hold of you. For me, Nothing's Real by Shura is easily one of the best pop records I've heard in 2016, netting a solid 8/10 and certainly a recommendation, especially if you're a fan of 80s synthpop, R&B, and Janet Jackson in particular. This is the sort of self-assured and quietly brilliant record from a writer/producer who is showing volumes of potential - folks, do not miss out this record, it really is something special.
This is meant to be more of a personal record rather than a break up album as she said,but still i am surprised you covered it and you liked it that much. | 2019-04-25T00:22:05 | http://www.spectrum-pulse.ca/2016/07/album-review-nothings-real-by-shura.html |

We have spent a lot of time discussing the importance of checking the fasting blood glucose and looking for patterns.
Persistent elevation of the fasting blood glucose suggest that you are not producing or taking enough insulin to maintain normal glucose and fat metabolism and it is time to talk to your health care provider about medication adjustments.
Occasional elevation is often unexplained but can be caused by an unrecognized low blood sugar at 2 to 3 am. It is time to start checking bedtime and 3 am glucose levels.
Occasional low fasting glucose can be a warning of a severe hypoglycemia in the future. It is definitely time to start checking bedtime and 3 am glucose levels and talk to your health care provider about medication adjustments.
These test are useful for helping you determine if you are producing or taking enough insulin to allow you to use or store the glucose from the carbohydrate eaten with the previous meal.
a rapid acting insulin before each meal or snack have a little advantage. They have probable been trained to use *formulas that will allow them to take extra insulin to correct the elevated glucose and then also adjust the insulin dose to take enough insulin to efficiently use the glucose from meal.
rapid acting insulin will allow them to efficiently metabolize 30 grams of carbohydrate.
so what time is considered "bedtime" example, 10.00 pm level is 139,at 1200 its 88 my actual usual bedtime.
Your bedtime glucose is determined by the time from and amount of your last meal , snacks and your diabetes medication. Your 1200 hour glucose of 88 suggest that you will be lower at 2 to 3 am and at risk of hypoglycemia. This is a time of day when we are all the most sensitive to the effects of insulin .I think it would be wise to check a few 3 am glucose test and consider a " bed time snack ". You may need to adjust your diabetes medication and/or your diet.
There is a product called 4amglucose (I saw it on AADE13). If Betty take it at 10 pm bedtime, it releases glucose around 12 to 5 am. Would you think it help Betty's situation?
Good idea.people taking insulin and some oral diabetes medications ( sulfonylureas) are at the greatest risk of low glucose levels between 2and 3 am. The idea of having a bedtime snack has been around for many years. A typical bedtime snack is 30 grams of carbohydrate( 1 cup of skim milk and a slice of whole wheat bread ) . Each 4amglucose tablet has 3 gms. of glucose. How many tablets would a person need to take to to match the usual bedtime snack ?
However, Dr. Calder, we may have to consider the efficiency here.
When we eat any food, it has to be absorbed and digested by GI tract, and the blood glucose level may shoot up early causing hyperglycemia and weight gain (as seen on Glucerna website). By 3 to 4 am the glucose may depleted and not as effective at all. While this product, according to the website USP dissolution profile, delivers glucose after 2 hours of being taken, and release all sugars by 7 hours. It certainly sounds very efficient and clever. We may not need so many tabs for the effects. Is that sounds right Dr.?
Dr. Calder, please unswer my posting last week. Give your intelegent and professional thoughts, would you? | 2019-04-25T22:29:12 | http://www.diabetesofficevisit.com/2013/01/tips-for-testing-before-meal-and.html |

Things I've Found In Pockets: No, we haven't been swept away by floods!
No, we haven't been swept away by floods!
Though we NEARLY were! It rained and it rained and it rained. (Piglet had never seen so much rain...) Besides watching the rain and drinking cups of tea today with Max's Friend's Mommy, who came over to play in the rain, I have been cleaning house and yard.
Pottering in the garden? Not quite. I went out there armed with a cutlass and clippers, and declared war on foliage. Unfortunately, our bush has been taking self-defence classes, and retaliates with spines, stingers and caustic sap. Whole battalions of fire ants lie in wait, and drop into one's bra when least expected. I also dug ditches, re-set flagstones on our path, and hauled whole small trees away. Then I scrubbed the back porch with bleach to kill the moss. Not very eco-friendly, but hey.
By the way, all this is great exersize! Want to get fit? Come on down!
Um. Anyway, inside the house is getting the same treatment. Everything has been turned upside down and inside out, which means that I am creating more mess than anything but WHEN I AM DONE!!! All I need is a day without the kids here so I can go through their room and toss stuff out.
It's been several days now. I can think of many things I would rather be doing. But when I am through, I hope to be able to walk through my house without falling over a stack of books. Already, we know where our shoes are and can even reach them without knocking over a pile of random stuff! And the kitchen! You can open the food cupboard and SEE stuff! But I won't tell you what I found behind the fridge. Eew.
Send good de-cluttering and anti-cobweb vibes.
It has to be something totally disgusting for you to say eww.
It's been raining pretty steadily here too for the past month. Strange weather.
Oh man, I'm about to embark on the same sort of mission next week when school starts. Power to you!
I see the procrastinating is done. And that WAS the hard part - getting the procrastination taken care of. Right?
Fire ants in the bra! Ouch!
Wanna come clean my house next?
After this, I will never want to clean again. But you can try this: my sister swears that I leave heaps of laundry on chairs, so that if anyone comes to visit they have to fold laundry before they can sit down. It seems to work, and it doesn't stop friends from visiting!
Come do me next? I hate cleaning and I am no good at it!
That's the only workout I ever get, but I agree it's a good one. I can work up quite a sweat!! | 2019-04-21T18:23:46 | http://www.thingsivefoundinpockets.com/2008/08/no-we-havent-been-swept-away-by-floods.html?showComment=1220098560000 |
A recent survey by Realtor.com targeted people currently looking to buy a home and asked them about their thoughts on an impending recession. The survey revealed that 42 percent thought a recession would occur this year or next. Some pushed that date back to 2021. Survey respondents (59 percent) also stated that if there were another recession, they felt the housing market would fare the same as in 2008 — the worst recession in decades that saw a full-blown housing market crash.
This wasn’t the first survey to address this question of an impending recession, either. A few more surveys asked the same thing, with 70 percent of their respondents believing a recession is coming soon. However, recent data from CoreLogic (a provider of consumer, financial, and property data and analytics) pointed out that a potential recession is no reason to panic and completely throw off plans in the housing market is instead “cooling” — and nowhere near a crash.
The data cites the past few recessions and connects them with home values. The 2008 recession was actually assisted by declining home values, which was largely due to mortgage lenders (among other things) issuing loans to people that a) couldn’t reasonably be repaid and b) eventually caused their properties to go underwater, meaning that the owners owed more on their loans than their homes were worth.
The previous four recessions, with the exception of one, actually saw an increase in home values ranging from 3 percent to 6 percent. And in 1991 (the exception), home values declined minimally — a figure that is often on par with an average decline.
Even if 2019, 2020, or 2021 were to bring about a recession, CoreLogic argues that such a recession does not indicate a crash. Rather that it indicates a “cooling” of the housing market, and that there is no need to worry. But the surveys and research were all focused nationally — what about the North Central Ohio housing market?
Inventory logically makes an impact on home values because it’s a matter of supply and demand. When the 2007–2008 recession occurred, there was a significant amount of homes for sale on the market. Right now, home inventories are lower nationwide. In North Central Ohio, inventory is stable. For 2016–2018 in fact, the number of properties sold has stood around the 3,200 mark. From 2012 to 2015, inventory ranged from 2,300 to 2,900. The difference isn’t so significant as to indicate an “overabundance,” however. In 2008, the national inventory average almost doubled.
Mortgage rates have been higher for the past while. When this happens, you naturally see fewer people taking out loans to buy houses. Now that rates are starting to stabilize, more people will be taking out mortgages to buy the homes they want. While the impact here hasn’t been significant, it should start to move the needle upward. Learn more about how mortgage interest rates and the housing market work together here.
This a broader topic that includes a few relevant factors. First, a lot of people tried to cram in their home purchase at the end of 2017 to be grandfathered into the mortgage interest deduction, leading to a spike in sales. At the end of 2018, there was no similar rush, which led to price decreases. Again, North Central Ohio home sales have maintained a consistent level around 3,200 over the past couple years despite price increases.

As stewards of our online messages—whether through a website, email campaigns, advertising, blogs, et cetera—we are faced with a seemingly endless barrage of new technologies. Heck, I plead guilty to succumbing to many of them myself. Now, to be fair, many of these new technologies can indeed take our online marketing efforts to the next level. And our customers are going to come to expect these capabilities from us in the near term.
But, just as important is our ability to deliver on the promise of Web 2.0. Don’t forget the overarching lessons of Web 1.0 circa 1997 to 2000: Don’t build technology just because you can (in fact, you shouldn’t really “build” technology ever again, but that’s a different article).
Also, don’t expect people to come just because you build it. Finally, and most importantly, don’t build Web 2.0 technology until you are ready to support it with the effort and maybe even more importantly, the content it will require.
Let’s look at a few Web 2.0 capabilities and some helpful safety tips as you decide when and how to deploy them.
By its very definition, podcasting refers to “a media file that is distributed over the internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and personal computers.” However, the unwritten rule is that podcasts should be updated frequently. For podcasts to be successful, you need to be prepared to produce them on a regular enough basis that whoever is subscribing will see updates often enough to keep subscribing. Publishing one audio file every few months is not a podcast. If you have an audio file (or several) you would like to make available to your website users, by all means publish them out and link them from your website like you would any other media on your site. But don’t market your “podcast” until you’re really ready to make frequent contributions.
Blogs have certainly become the buzz du jour on the internet, and have really become a favorite staple for marketers to increase their “content footprint” on their websites. Blogs are an excellent online marketing tool for generating search engine optimization, cross-linking, and site expansion. However, before you launch your blog, remember that not unlike a podcast, users will expect your blog to change frequently. I’m not suggesting that your blog has to change three times a day, but publishing one post every couple of months is not going to give you the traffic you think it might. When committing to a blog, commit to a regular update and stick to it. Additionally, be prepared to reply to comments that your web users post. A blog is a conversation, not a soapbox. Make sure you have the tools to monitor user-generated content on your blog and be prepared toput them to use.
Giving users the ability to do many things related to the content on your website is growing in popularity. Whether it is rating content in the customer help section, posting comments to articles, or generating their own original content, given the opportunity your customers are investing time in your brand and trying to communicate with you. If you aren’t ready to affect change on content based on its rating or respond to user-generated content directly, then don’t launch it.
Consider web content management tools that can manage content both outbound to the website and inbound from the website. Enabling the content to come into your content management system and integrate with workflow means comments from customers won’t get lost in the corporate email shuffle.
Consider website management solutions that integrate with other best-of-breed site management solutions. These capabilities are really the heart of what I like to call, “The 2.0 Business Web.” Software delivered as a service (SaaS) plays a role here. But more importantly, it’s about being able to react quickly as new capabilities come up and avoid having to replace an entire solution based on one new technology.
Consider tasking one or more of your internal personnel with being the “voice.” Whether it’s an executive in marketing, the customer service group, or a member of the web team, assign an “owner” to the content that needs to be generated, edited, and published to the website for all of these new Web 2.0 capabilities.
Most importantly, remember: technology is only as good as your understanding of its benefits. Keep your features in check with your capabilities and never allow flashy gadgets, terminology, or hype to outweigh the basic tenets of good marketing practices. Remember, Web 3.0 is less than 200 days away, and we haven’t even started our shopping list yet.

It calls for the creation of an Islamic republic, with a presidential system, and where citizens have equal rights.
The draft will be debated by a loya jirga grand assembly next month, paving the way for possible elections in 2004.
A spokesman for President Hamid Karzai said Afghanistan needed stability and the new constitution was made with "the next 100, 200 years" in mind.
The ceremony came as a delegation from the UN Security Council toured the country to examine post-war reconstruction efforts.
The delegation is the first of its kind to visit the country since the Taleban were ousted in 2001.
The UN envoys headed to the western town of Herat on Monday to meet Governor Ismail Khan who is often accused of ignoring central authority.
The Constitutional Committee had been due to present the draft in September, but it was delayed for technical reasons.
The draft was handed over at a formal ceremony with Mr Karzai, former King Mohammed Zaher Shah and foreign diplomats at Kabul's Presidential Palace on Monday.
The 88-year-old ex-monarch said he hoped the new constitution "will direct people towards peace, security and democracy".
The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Kabul says, under the constitution, the country would be called the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
There would be a presidential form of government, with a vice-president and a parliament with upper and lower houses.
Afghans would have equal rights, and there would be a drive to promote the education of women following their experiences under the Taleban.
"The draft is based on Islamic principles and recognises that no law can be contrary to the sacred religion of Islam," the commission said in a statement.
Our correspondent says the draft makes no mention of sharia law.
The unveiling has been long-awaited by ordinary Afghans, lawyers and experts who have been debating the constitution's likely provisions over the last few months.
Hardliners have sought assurance that the constitution will not turn the country into a secular state. Others were pressing for the adoption of civil laws but in conformity with Islamic principles.
The international community wanted to see that basic human rights were guaranteed and the rights of women protected.
The constitution was drafted by the 35-member commission, which started work more than a year ago.
Hundreds of thousands of questionnaires were sent to communities around the country asking for their views on a new constitution for the country. Those who could not read or write recorded their thoughts on tape.

Robots are increasingly being used in domestic environments and should be able to interact with inexperienced users. Human-human interaction and human-computer interaction research findings are relevant, but often limited because robots are different from both humans and computers. Therefore, new human-robot interaction (HRI) research methods can identify the design of robots suitable for inexperienced users. A video-based HRI (VHRI) methodology was used to carry out a multi-national HRI user study for the prototype domestic robot BIRON (BIelefeld RObot companioN). Previously, the VHRI methodology was used in constrained HRI situations, while in this study HRIs involved a series of events as part of a "home tour" scenario. Thus, the present chapter is the first study of this methodology in extended HRI contexts with a multi-national approach. Participants watched videos of the robot interacting with a human actor and rated two robot behaviors (Extrovert and Introvert). Participants' perceptions and ratings of the robot's behaviors differed with regard to both verbal interactions and person following by the robot. The study also confirms that the VHRI methodology provides a valuable means to obtain early user feedback, even before fully working prototypes are available. This can usefully guide the future design studies on robots, and associated verbal and non-verbal behaviors. | 2019-04-24T13:02:39 | https://uhra.herts.ac.uk/handle/2299/17893 |
How to buy, read and review Drakon by C.A. Caskabel. All you need to know.
If you read eBooks you can get it for only $0.99 (+VAT in Europe). You can read Amazon Kindle in any tablet by downloading the Amazon Kindle app, assuming you have an Amazon account.
If you are enrolled in Kindle Unlimited (USA only) the eBook is FREE.
If you love killing trees, the paperback is $7.99 and it is great quality, given that it is self-published, with illustrations.
Book I, the first part of the story is just 42k words, 240 pages. So at an average reader speed of 300 words per minute, it will take you 1 hour and 59 minutes. The whole Drakon story (Books I to IV) is 350K words, approx. 70% of LOTR. You can find a lot of info about all of this in my journal.
In the super competitive world of publishing, reviews are important to writers. Over 85% of all Amazon Kindle readers rely heavily on book reviews.
I don’t want you to review the book if you didn’t read it. Ethics first, success second.
So, after you read the book, go to the Amazon page, scroll down to the review section and enter the review and the rating.
Goodreads is the leading reviews site.
This is as important as the Amazon review.
5. Subscribe to the newsletter so you can get news about the book and the next books.
You can read the journal that has a lot of great info about the book, about my life and maybe even yours.
7. Send me an email, recommendations, hints, tips and whatever else.
About that reward: It is unethical to offer rewards in exchange for reviews, you should know that. If you are a reviewer, or you know one who will provide an honest review in exchange for the book, I would be glad to send you a signed copy or an epub. Email me here.
Your only reward is that you may like the book, or maybe even love it.
I’ll buy coffee when we meet again, or for the first time, but that’s not a reward.
PS: I posted this on Sept. 10th, yet WordPress’s confused timezoning insists it is the 11th. I wouldn’t post on the 11th. It is a day for memorials and silence.

Lupinus polyphyllus, Flower from side, close. Family Fabaceae, Subclass Rosidae. Origin: Cultivated.
Hugh D. Wilson (2011). Lupinus polyphyllus (Cultivated) 3. Available electronically from http : / /hdl .handle .net /1969 .1 /100201. | 2019-04-25T08:23:27 | https://oaktrust.library.tamu.edu/handle/1969.1/100201 |
Even though the Pinot Blanc is very old (already known in the 16th century), it achieved its present reputation only during the last few years. This grape variety is not originating from the Bourgogne (Burgundy) region but comes from Northern Italy. It was first introduced by the Anglo-Saxons. The French then also discovered it gradually and they began to appreciate this wine for its qualities of freshness, suppleness and its food-friendliness.
Our Pinot Blanc is located essentially in the vines of Saering & Spiegel as well as the localities of Bux and Bollenberg.
Pneumatic pressing, static racking. Fermentation in thermo-regulated tuns for one to four months. Maturing for seven months on fine lees.
The robe is lemon yellow with light green reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine shows youth.
The nose is marked, pleasant and intense. Sophisticated, we perceive a dominant of fruity scents, apple, citrus fruits (lemon) and a slight floral hint of white flowers. The airing enhances these scents and reveals broom with secondary acid candy and hop. The grapes are ripe and healthy. A little bit austere, they express very well the precision of this vintage.
The onset in the mouth is moderately ample, fleshy with a full-bodied alcohol support. The wine evolves on a medium of marked vivacity, with a sparkling note. We find the same aromas as on the nose, still dominated by citrus fruits, apple, broom and a less perceptible hint of hop and English candy. We perceives a hint of firm bitterness. The finish hs a good length, 5-6 caudalies, with a fine liveliness and a persistent bitterness. The structure of this wine shows complexity and aromatic precision. The tasty balance comes from a slight but noble bitterness, with a very good structure.
It can be associated with Alsatian cuisine, a seveloy salad, mackerel sushis, sardine rillettes or a fresh goat's milk cheese. Serve at 12°C. | 2019-04-23T19:23:01 | https://www.domaines-schlumberger.com/pinot-blanc-les-princes-abbes-2016 |

Merle is a pattern in a dog‘s coat, though is commonly incorrectly referred to as a colour. The merle gene creates mottled patches of color in a solid or piebald coat, blue or odd-colored eyes, and can affect skin pigment as well.
Depending on the breed, registry, or country, the pattern may be register-able with a registry but not allowed in conformation , and the pattern may not be recognized by the breed standard , disqualifying it from showing. Merle is dominant M , and non-merle coloring is recessive m. Different Shades of Blue Blue merles can exhibit a range of coat markings. It can not be corrected.
When a dog inherits a heterozygous pair Mm or mMthe dog will exhibit the merle color pattern.
Dogs inheriting a homozygous pair of dominant genes MM are called double merle and usually are solid white in color. The merle gene affects only the eumelanin pigments, meaning any black, liver, blue or Isabella coloring can appear as merle coloring.
Phaeomelanin pigment such as red is not affected by the merle gene and will appear solid. Different Shades of Blue Blue merles can exhibit a range of coat markings.
Some blue merle dogs will have a mostly gray-blue coat with a few small, black patches.
The most common merle pattern and the one described in most breed standards is a coat that is approximately 50 percent merle, or gray-blue, and 50 percent black patches. Typically the Corgi has a tan and white coat however Corgis can carry the Merle gene resulting in a Merle Coat.
Border Collies Border Collies, classically working dogs, known for their high intelligence can come in a Merle coat pattern.
Typically though of coming with a white and black coat, Merle Border Collies are the least common color pattern found naturally in Border Collies. As with Australian Shepherds, because of the high demand for Merle coated Border Collies some breeders do practice unsafe breeding practices which can cause health problems within the litter.
Dachshunds Dachshunds can come in a Red or Blue Merle color pattern. Although the Merle color is not common for Dachshunds it is an acceptable color according to breed registries. All dogs exhibiting the harlequin pattern are also carriers of the merle gene.
What is a Double Merle Dog?
Common in Great Danesand registered as Harlequin it is less commonly seen in other breeds such as the Catahoula Leopard DogShetland Sheepdog and Colliewhere the dogs are registered simply as merle.
This is the color pattern associated with the African wild dog and is very uncommon in pet dogs. She has blue eyes with starburst pupils and an eccentric pupil in her left eye.
Dogs with two copies of the merle gene homozygous merle or "double merle" have an even higher chance of being born deaf. Merle to merle mating is currently only forbidden in three breeds.
The merle gene causes the coat hair to produce a faded, or shaded colour hence the merle pattern , two merle genes together often cause the coat to be white or with limited merle shading. Depending on the breed, registry, or country, the pattern may be register-able with a registry but not allowed in conformation , and the pattern may not be recognized by the breed standard , disqualifying it from showing. Border Collies Border Collies, classically working dogs, known for their high intelligence can come in a Merle coat pattern.
The piebald gene is indicated by white areas on the dog's coat as seen in the liver merle Catahoula pictured below. The suppression of pigment cells melanocytes in the iris and in the stria vascularis of the cochlea inner ear leads to blue eyes and deafness.
An auditory-pigmentation disorder in humans, Waardenberg syndromereflects some of the problems associated with heterozygous and homozygous merle dogs and genetic research in dogs has been undertaken with the goal of better understanding the genetic basis of this human condition.
