Great post by Semil Shah on our move out to California, enjoy!
I won’t lie, today has been a tough day. I unfortunately never had the opportunity to meet Steve Jobs; but today it feels like I lost a major presence in my life, a mentor. I woke up, and it was clear things were different.For most people outside of the Valley ecosystem, Steve Jobs will be most prominently known for bringing us our Macs, iPods, iPhones and iPads. He is the inventor and innovator behind much that drives our personal lives, our work lives and our social relationships. His legacy will be through Apple, and that alone is remarkable.
However, as I have grown up to “know” Steve Jobs, his legacy is so very different. Sure, much of the way I consume information is through his machinations, and many of the devices I use rest on his vision for the way we should interact with the world. But, as he would best put it, those are transient, those will change.
What really resonates about Steve Jobs was not what he created, but what his creations represented. He believed that what he built would (not could) change the world; and through hard work and imagination, he did just that. For a generation looking for a figure to inspire, he provided a real beacon of hope; a hope that our visions don’t have to be an illusion, they can become reality. And in our current society, where forward thinkers are deemed crazy and visionaries are met by cynics and naysayers, he reminded us that even though change is often times met with resistance, we can always accomplish the unthinkable…we just need a little imagination. It very rare that a man can think truly differently, but his work inspired us to all do the same.
In what I believe to be one of the best commencement speeches ever delivered, Jobs addressed Stanford’s 2005 graduating class and spoke to 3 key themes: 1) trust your instincts, 2) failure can be your greatest weapon, and 3) use death as a motivator to be great each and every day.
Every graduation speech has similar themes, but what made his speech so beautiful was the way his words coupled with his life’s story were able to liberate a generation. We now have a generation of thinkers and do’ers across all industries, who not only try to disrupt the old guard, but also strive tirelessly to create a positive impact, to change the world. He challenged us to be different and unlock genius; he led by example.I’ve unfortunately never had the opportunity to meet Steve Jobs. But as I’ve grown up, his youthful optimism, his passion and drive have all been a guide-post. I have a firm belief that my instinct, my energy and my youthfulness are my greatest assets; and through his “mentorship”, he has given me the confidence to use these assets to accomplish my dreams, to make a difference. He liberated me. He has liberated a generation. And that is what makes him truly inspirational.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Thank you Steve, RIP.
Looking Forward: Why I’m Excited About 2011?
We have officially begun 2011, and rightfully so, with much optimism. As I documented previously, 2010 was an extremely exciting year for both entrepreneurs and investors, and we are now entering a new year with an extreme tailwind at our back. With innovations in flash sales, location-based services, internet television and the tablet, the table is now set for an even bigger, and potentially more disruptive year.
The merger of social and ecommerce. The two most popular trends in the consumer internet world are merging at a fast pace. The emergence of social as a readily acceptable form of social discovery is not only allowing people to find new things tailored to their interests, but also is allowing retailers and advertisers to target and find more valuable customers with less effort. As commerce online and through mobile devices increases, it is inevitable that social will be used to customize shopping experiences. Currently, there are many different niche sites focused on social commerce discovery; this year, however, I believe we are ready to see a big player emerge as a platform to form social shopping identities. Once these profiles become easily accessible and indexable, social shopping and targeting will implicitly begin to replicate offline activity. That is exciting!
The saturation of the coupon and the emergence of loyalty. Okay, so maybe that is an exaggeration, coupons will never become saturated. However, now that Groupon (and its competitors) have given local retailers a new medium in which to effectively sell leftover inventory and bring new customers to the door, the next step will be to help merchants retain loyal customers. Current loyalty programs are ineffective, decentralized and hard to redeem. I believe given the effectiveness of group sales to promote new expenditure, retailers will more readily look to the startup community to offer more effective loyalty offerings. Shopkick, Offermatic and CheckPoints represent a new breed of deal platforms; however, I believe these only begin to touch the tip of the iceberg. Once entrepreneurs realize the amount of dollars retailers (especially the big national brands) are willing to spend to retain loyalty customers, things are bound to heat up very quickly.
Forgive my enthusiasm, but as you can tell, there is a lot to be excited about in the upcoming year. After last year’s successes, we are now on the precipice of even greater innovation and disruption. Disruption, however, does not come about without hard work; so now that everyone has returned from holiday after some fine Christmas Ale, it is time to innovate! Seasons Greetings and good luck to all in the new year! | 2019-04-18T10:36:12 | https://sahilgupta.org/ |

Aggression key Team director Ravi Shastri was confident India will play aggressively. "We’ll stick to our guns. We will play the way we have decided, like I said before the first Test. At the end of the day, the proof of the pudding is in the eating." Victory will help Kohli stamp his identity on this young team, having led in only five Tests, although there will also be pressure to deliver. Many past India captains have settled down on home turf, and thus starting with a series win in Sri Lanka will be big. Much like how the 1993 home series against England saw the emergence of Anil Kumble as a new force, Ashwin has made all the difference here. It can develop into a straight contest with left-arm Rangana Herath, who took 14 wickets when Sri Lanka beat Pakistan last year. Shastri said the captaincy change came at the right time. "It was a good decision (Dhoni stepping down) because it was clear in everyone’s mind, across the media, that this is your future captain, and let him captain in that last Test match in Australia so that all speculation is put to rest. The obvious choice was Virat, but by announcing his retirement, Dhoni made it clear 'I believe this guy is ready and he needs a run'." "Each captain has his style. You can see with Virat, he is pretty much in your face. He will play to win. And he will want to be positive all the time. There will be intent in anything he does."

This is just an update. I’ve been working pretty hard at the new blogs to get some translating done. I’ve updated the community page and now for the main page! Right now I’m just messing around a bit, but that’s fine too! Chuckle. If a person can’t have fun then something is wrong. I don’t have any money so this is free entertainment for me. I can do things that I love without spending money on them.
Well Anarchist World has been online for a little over four months now. What do you all think? Remember, its ok to write a comment after each post! This is not intended to be a one way street! I know that I am surprised at the twists and turns it has taken. When I began the site I never dreamed it would become the monster it has become. I simply thought it would be a showcase for some of my pending translations.
Instead I’ve found myself pouring my heart and soul into this for entirely different reasons. There is an ideological war going on in our world and depending upon which way it goes our lives will be permanently changed.
Basically there are three camps in this ideological conflict.
One camp is those that would like to rule this world through fear, terror and military warfare. They would like to enslave the other 99% and that doesn’t set well with me at all. Life is about freedom, freedom for all life forms, including humanity.
The second camp is almost worse than the first. They want to kill all life on this planet so they can go to heaven. They don’t want to be here and they believe the only way they can leave is by wiping out the entire thing so it can start over! The byword of these people is, “We are all one! We are all part of the light and someday we will all return to source!” Well that’s a nice thought, but I don’t think turning into light through a nuclear explosion is really the right thing to do.
The third camp is the one that I belong to. In general life is the most sacred thing that has ever existed anywhere. Gaia, mother earth, has developed an ecosystem that supports all kinds of life in a symbiotic and balanced way. This is an entirely different kind of unity. Our world is collectively created and collectively maintained. We need the plants to furnish us with oxygen and they need us to furnish them with carbon dioxide. That is only a small example of the balance Gaia provides. This balance is maintained through the circulation of a vital life force energy occultists have termed “the black current” because it is black, not because it is evil. It belongs to the non-physical plane closest to the physical earth itself.
Anarchist World has become a meeting place for those that are attracted to this energy source and to working with it. At this time the need is so great that it has been more important to draw more energy and projects in to the site than it has been to finish them. Now it is time to move forward at an easy pace and keep the whole thing moving along. We are going to win this ideological war and bring some sanity and some magick back into this world, or rather, into the newly created world! Welcome to the new age!
So, check out the blogs! Are you attracted to the energy? Do you find good or do you find evil? If you find good, then this is your home! If you find evil, then look in the mirror. | 2019-04-24T04:17:47 | https://anarchistbanjosworld.com/2013/09/ |
Well folks, for the first time ever, here is a look (below center) at the cover that Mick didn't want you to see. To the right is the cover that all Beggars Banquet subscribers eventually got. And to the left is the advertisement the Stones inserted into every copy of their 1983 "Undercover" album. As you can see, it's the exact same photo that Mick later said I couldn't use. He was fine with a million people seeing it in 1983, but not with anyone seeing it in 1984. Changing one's mind is a rock star's prerogative. | 2019-04-26T10:28:45 | http://www.billgerman.com/index.php/blog?start=15 |
Thank you for getting involved in the Aquafresh Coffeehouse forum on teething and first teeth. We know it can be a particularly trying period for you and your little one and so, as promised, I have endeavoured to answer as many of your questions below as possible.
The most frequently asked questions referred to how and when teething first occurs and what you should do when that first tooth makes an appearance.
Your baby will start teething around six months – however, this can vary enormously so please don’t panic if your baby’s teeth come through a little later (or earlier!).
The first sign to look out for is swollen gums, dribbling, and your baby putting their fingers in their mouth more frequently. They may also be feeling generally quite grotty.
Teething can be painful for your little one and there are a variety of different methods to help ease their discomfort. Remember that different things work for different babies.
A cool teething ring can help – Aquafresh has launched a new one that has been created alongside paediatric dentists and comes in two colours. Stick it in the fridge to cool and it can then be comforting for your little one. Healthy snacks such as chopped vegetable sticks that have been cooled in the fridge can also be good for soothing gums. Plenty of cuddles and distraction techniques are great to take your baby’s mind off teething too! If these techniques don’t seem to work, and your child is still in pain and has a temperature, then visit your GP.
But remember – it will pass!
The second most popular question was about brushing your baby’s first teeth and when they should first visit the dentist.
The best time to start brushing teeth is as soon as they appear in your child’s mouth – then these good habits should last.
If you are worried to start with, use a clean muslin cloth to clean their teeth and gums. Otherwise use a small baby toothbrush and a milk teeth toothpaste – apply a smear to begin with so your baby gets used to the taste.
Tooth brushing can be a strange sensation to start with so I think it’s good to sit your baby on your lap, supporting their head, and brush gently in circular motions on the teeth and gums. You could give you baby another toothbrush to play with as a distraction!
As your child grows and their teeth develop, work through the stages of toothpaste and toothbrushes – but only use a smear of toothpaste each time. All children will need to be supervised during the tooth brushing routine until they are about six or seven years old.
In terms of when to visit the dentist, I like to see children from about the age of 18 months. It’s good for them to become familiar with the look, feel and smell of the dentist’s. It’s important you never pass on any fears you may have about going to the dentist; just treat it as a normal regular visit, like going to the supermarket, so your child feels as comfortable as possible.
Some of you asked about flossing too. I would recommend starting to introduce dental floss from around the age of six to seven years old, but take advice from your own dentist who will show you and your child exactly what to do. Always supervise your child until you’re sure they can do it properly themselves.
1) The most important thing to remember is the teething symptoms will stop – so enjoy and treasure the amazing experience of watching your child’s teeth develop and grow.
2) Always make tooth brushing time fun and enjoyable – try not to get stressed about it.
3) Remember, it is not the amount of sugar that causes tooth decay but the frequency your child eats very sugary foods – so limit it to mealtimes – with healthy snacks in between.
4) Stick to milk and water and, for as long as you can, avoid fizzy drinks – children are not born with a sweet tooth!
5) Record every moment in your children’s development and treasure it!

More than 100 people packed a public meeting last night to speak against rules that would open bobcat hunting and kill raccoons and coyotes.
More than 100 people packed the seats at a public hearing Thursday night that carried on for more than three hours, largely to implore state officials to stop what many attendees called the "senseless murder" of "innocent animals."
The animals in question: bobcats, coyotes, raccoons and opossums.
The loud and clear message — meant for both the state's Department of Natural Resources and its Natural Resources Commission — was delivered in opposition to two rules being proposed by the department.
The first would create a hunting and trapping season for bobcats, Indiana's only native wild cat and a once endangered species in the state. The second would require animal control workers to kill any coyotes, raccoons or opossums that they catch, rather than being able to catch and release them.
This was the second and final public meeting to discuss the rules — which the DNR first introduced to the Commission in September — before the public comment period on the proposals closes today. Including comments submitted via the internet and mail, the DNR has received more than 2,300 comments on the two proposals.
Many spoke to science, questioning what they say is a lack thereof to justify either of these proposed changes. Others called on morals and what they feel is the responsibility to protect Indiana's wildlife.
"The DNR should be tasked with protecting our natural resources, not depleting them," said a woman who has called Indiana home for six decades. "Somewhere this needs to stop."
Still, some expressed support for the rules and what they claim is their potential to help manage wildlife populations and keep them healthy.
"There is nothing in the proposed rule change that I would oppose to," said a gentleman who added that he was not ashamed to call himself a hunter, fisher and fur trapper. "The cruelest thing we can do for wildlife is not manage it."
Regardless of which camp Hoosier's fall into, one thing is clear: These two rules and four species have struck a chord.
The DNR first introduced and recommended the bobcat and animal control rules, part of a larger rule package, to the Commission in Sept. 2017. The NRC is an independent board responsible for addressing issues pertaining to the department, such as the adoption of rules.
Though last night's meeting was an NRC hearing, no Commission members attended — a fact with which many in the audience expressed frustration, citing the inability to ask questions of officials and have a dialogue about the rules.
Seats were scarce as residents from across the state crowded into the room at Mounds State Park in Anderson, Ind.
Many were from Marion, Hamilton and Madison counties. Some, however, traveled more than two hours to attend — "we feel it's that important," one said. That same sentiment was shared by a handful of folks who said their opposition to the rules motivated them to attend their very first public meeting.
All who attended — including lifelong residents, wildlife rehabilitators, wildlife scientists, photographers, hunters, farmers and representatives from environmental and wildlife organizations — were given the opportunity to speak.
At least 60 spoke against the proposal that would require animal control workers to kill captured raccoons, coyotes and opossums. Nearly 50 were in opposition to opening a season on bobcats. About 10 people in the audience, representing the hunting and trapping community, did speak in favor of that rule.
A separate public hearing last Wednesday in Mitchell, Ind., drew similar crowds, according to Amanda Wuestefeld, assistant director for DNR's Division of Fish & Wildlife Service.
That meeting was heavier on the topic of bobcats, she said, and had a much larger representation of hunters and trappers. Roughly 60 percent were in favor of a season, Wuestefeld added, with the other 40 percent opposed.
The public comment period closes Friday at midnight. After that, DNR staff will go through and provide responses to questions and concerns raised, all of which will be made public. The agency will then make any adjustments to the rules, if it feels necessary, and recommendations to the Commission.
The Commission plans to vote on the rules at its May 15 meeting.
Dozens of individuals at last night's meeting wore sticker's demanding the NRC "Vote No" on the bobcat hunting rule.
Those counties would be in southern Indiana, according to DNR furbearer biologist Geriann Albers, where bobcat populations are strongest. Central and northern counties would be excluded, she said, as the population is still building its numbers in those regions.
"We believe very strongly in preserving species like bobcats for all citizens of Indiana to be able to appreciate, but we believe that limited and regulated harvest can be a part of that without jeopardizing the population as a whole," Albers told IndyStar. "We believe the info we have supports that bobcats are abundant in southern Indiana."
Bobcats were removed from Indiana's endangered species list in 2005 and their population has expanded in recent years, according to DNR officials — which the agency touts as a big conservation win.
The agency cites increased incidental kills of bobcats by car collisions and additional reports by hunters and trappers of sightings of the feline that is not much larger than the average house cat.
Charlie Masheck, who owns Hoosier Trapper Supply in Johnson County, said his store frequently hears of trappers accidentally catching bobcats or that they were spotted on a hunters' trail camera.
"We feel there is an adequate population for certainly a sustainable harvest, so we are here to support that," he told IndyStar, saying they believe in the DNR's science and numbers. "What we do is not for everybody and the last thing we would want to see is for a population to be decimated."
Still, many question the size of that population. Several lifelong Hoosiers who have lived in the state for decades and are frequently in the woods said they have never seen a bobcat.
Representatives with the Indiana Wildlife Federation, U.S. Humane Society, Hoosier Environmental Council and the Sierra Club's Hoosier Chapter all argued that greater study needs to be done to better understand the bobcats numbers.
That sentiment was also reflected by Jackie Powers, a recently retired wildlife scientist who has studied predatory ecology.
"I am disturbed and I feel that the DNR is prematurely opening a season on the recently recovering bobcat with a lack of data," she said, also raising concerns about allowing the use of traps and dogs to catch and hunt bobcats. "If we have to allow sportsman to get their jollies, we should give the bobcat the best chance."
Many said they were not against hunting when done for the meat and food, but did not support the hunting of bobcats for the thrill or the trade of pelts. Hunters countered that there is little money to be made from the furs, and their taking of bobcats would primarily be to help manage the species.
Tim Maloney with the HEC was quick to point out the money that can be made from eco-tourism or "non-consumptive" uses of wildlife and bobcats — such as photography and individuals hiking and traveling to see them.
The Indiana Wildlife Federation also worried that removing an apex predator like the bobcat could weaken a key part of the food chain that helps control other populations such as deer.
"We believe in ethical and sustainable hunting for control purposes when there is strong scientific data to do so," a representative with the organization said. "But we don't find a compelling reason to open a season in Indiana."
The majority of those in attendance also said they could not find a compelling reason to require animal control workers to kill raccoons, coyotes or opossums.
Those professionals currently have the option to release those species — with various regulations and limitations governing a release — and that decision is left to their judgment. They are allowed to release the wildlife within the county they captured it and on land where they have permission. Animal control operators also already put down wildlife that are diseased or severely injured.
Albers with the DNR, however, said that relocating these animals or "nuisance wildlife" doesn't necessarily solve the nuisance problem.
"We had concerns that these animals that were causing problems were just being moved to somewhere else," she said, "and then causing someone else problems."
The furbearer biologist could not say exactly how many animals DNR expected would be killed each year under this proposed change, but the agency wrote that it did not believe this required euthanasia would not harm the populations.
Animal control worker Kirk Neuner said some animals can also be stressed in a new location after being released without knowing where to find food or water. The Admiral Wildlife Services owner said he believes this rule would be the most humane treatment for the raccoons, coyotes and opossums.
Neuner is one of roughly 450 licensed nuisance wildlife operators in the state, the majority of which already kill most animals that they catch.
Many at the meeting said that they want the choice to keep the animal alive.
"The first question people ask me is if I kill the animal," said Mike Meservy, the owner of Advanced Pest Control. "And when I tell them I don't, then they ask me how much. That's the second question; that should tell you something."
"I want to invite the Natural Resources Commission, personally, to come and kill a baby raccoon," the animal control professional added. "I want you to know what it feels like."
Many rehabilitators and rescue shelters said they are appalled by this proposal. They worry it could make the populations of these animals unstable and then cause other populations — like those of skunks or ticks, which opossums eat — to boom.
Instead, they argue, the DNR should be working with individuals to educate them and provide guidelines on how best to keep these critters from getting inside their homes or how to remove them in a non-invasive way.
If this rule is passed, Meservy said he likely would go out of business rather than be forced to kill animals. A local animal protection league said that they would not follow the mandate to euthanize or ask workers to go against their mandate to do so.
Outside of the official comment, some Hoosiers started a petition two weeks ago on Change.org to "Stop the Indiana Department of Natural Resources From Euthanizing Raccoons, Opossums, and Coyotes."
That petition, addressed to the state agency and Gov. Eric Holcomb, currently has more than 4,000 signatures and continues to grow toward its goal of 5,000.
Erin Huang, Indiana state director of the Humane Society of the United States, said she believes such a public response and engagement sends a clear message — and hopes that it is heard and taken seriously.
"Consider the will of the Hoosiers," she said. | 2019-04-18T20:20:58 | https://www.indystar.com/story/news/2018/03/23/hoosiers-dnr-stop-murder-bobcats-raccoons-coyotes-opossums-hunting/449941002/ |

Do you need a speaker for your event, conference, radio show, TV show or networking meeting?
I spend my days helping individuals to improve their lives in a number of ways. It is something I find incredibly rewarding and am very passionate about. I can offer a unique, motivational and inspirational talk for your group.
Having worked as a hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner, helping people on a one to one basis, for some time, I really saw the benefit that a few simple changes in mind set can make to a person. As my reputation as a successful hypnotherapist grew, I began being asked more and more to give talks to networking meetings, training groups and on radio interviews. It’s wonderful to be able to connect with and inspire so many people at once.

She spoke clearly and concisely about her work as a hypnotherapist which was extremely interesting. | 2019-04-23T14:52:09 | https://www.cs-hypnotherapy.co.uk/motivational-speaking-and-business-training/ |
500 million hours of video are watched each day across all social media platforms (lilachbulock). Thats a lot of videos being watched! People love watching social media videos so much that by 2019, internet video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer internet traffic (Cisco). Videos are increasingly having more impact in our daily lives and it’s more important than ever before to incorporate creating videos into your content marketing strategy.
83% of consumers would consider sharing video content with their friends (Hubspot). Because people love to share video it’s possible to get a significant amount of reach. The ease of watching, commenting, and sharing all on one platform means more engagement.
Social Media marketers know that by incorporating video marketing into a small businesses social media strategy, their clients will get great results.
Include a call to action in one or both your video and post copy.
Consider live streaming on one of your social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Live streaming gets the best organic (free) engagement.
Keep your video short and sweet. Keeping your short videos on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram to no more than 1 minute is ideal. It’s also less work for you to create one video that can be shared on all your social networks.
Create square videos rather than the standard 16:9 ratio videos. Square videos can be used on every social media platform except when uploading a YouTube video. There are several ways to create square videos. You can either do it through several video editing apps such as Videoshop, Clips or Animoto. You can also create them with standard video editing software such as Camtasia (by TechSmith).
Considering 85% of those who view video on social media actually turn the sound on, you want to make sure your videos are watchable without sound. Use closed captions when possible and don’t just be a talking head. Consider the environment you are filming your video in. Make it look interesting enough to encourage them to turn the sound on.
Bottom line, there is an incredible amount of noise on social media and there are so many other competing brands vying for your ideal clients attention. Finding ways to build authenticity and authority are key to winning potential clients and sets your brand apart from theirs. Creating content that is informative and educational such as a social media video could really help to build your brands authority through an authentic approach. Potential customers can visually see you and experience you through your video.
Adding video to your content strategy enables you to quickly and easily explain anything and everything. Verbally explaining something makes it easier for people to understand what it is you’re talking about.
To build authority you have to communicate that you know your industry and know what you’re talking about. By using videos you can share your industry knowledge and establish yourself as the expert.
Behind the Scenes – If you have something cool to highlight, show it off.
New Product or Service Teaser – This is a perfect way to drum up excitement.
Businesses have only a few seconds to get users attention and their engagement. One of the easiest and most effective ways to hook people in is with a video.
Videos are preferred by search engines, and are showed at the top of a search engine results page. When you use videos you rank higher in Google and you draw in more organic traffic. In fact, videos bring in the most organic traffic with a 157% increase from search engines (Storyme). This means a lot of conversions and clicks for your business.
Increase Conversions: Incorporate these tips into your video strategy.
Make your video short and immediately entertaining. Viewers will lose interest if it’s too long and boring. Ideally keep your video to no more than 90 seconds.
Find a way to be authentic and instill trust in your viewer. Stay away from creating videos that are overly salesy.
Try video ads. They are a perfect way to get more eyeballs on your content, target your ideal customer and refer business to your website.
When recording your video be sure you have good lighting, sound quality and incorporate your branding throughout the video.
Wondering how you can connect with your ideal customer? Video is a perfect way to do this.
Using video in your social media content strategy allows your brands personality to show, thus allowing customers to see your more authentic side. Customers can connect more easily with your brand, and only the interested ones will continue to watch and engage.
Brands that really know themselves do this well and do their potential customers a favor by offering up content that connects with them. The company Patagonia is a perfect example of a company who connects with their ideal customer through their mission statement, “We’re in business to save our home planet.” Their mission of being environmentally conscious connects with consumers who feel the same way.
How much you want to bet they use video in their social media marketing strategy?
The use of social media video content is not going away anytime soon and its impact on social media continues to grow. It’s easier now than ever before to create good quality videos. If you have a smartphone then you have a video camera and access to many affordable apps (if not free) to help you capture, create and edit your video. For those who want to get a little more technical, then consider purchasing software for your computer. Don’t wait…get in the game and start using video in your social media strategy today. | 2019-04-22T09:01:47 | https://www.thesocialginger.com/social-media/the-importance-of-social-media-video/ |
Light and bubbly . . . a truly happy sound. . . . with optimism and joy, I couldn't help but smile when I heard this song. Thank you for sharing!
toujours dans le style qui lui est propre, Van Syla nous offre une belle pièce, enjouée, bien rythmée, avec une belle orchestration. Très jolie composition.
Thank you very much dear RangerSeriesBlack !!
A Gentle Cascade of Piano Melody and Virtual Strings start this Single on a Easy Note of Summer-esque Ambiance. The Sound is not overly Classical or too Saccharine Pop but simply Tranquil Music with an "Elven" Quality that evokes Feelings of Light Heartedness and even Nostalgia. Overall, a Wonderful Song that Delights. | 2019-04-19T02:35:23 | https://www.jamendo.com/track/1360003/island-of-promises |
Much is going on right now in the debt settlement industry that is causing many to rethink how they are doing business. Federal and state legislative and regulatory activity related to debt settlement has seemingly reached record levels, consumer credit and debt have increased substantially, and consumers' ability to service that debt is strained. At the same time, Congress, the Obama Administration, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), state Attorneys General and others are taking a more proactive interest in the workings of the industry and in protecting consumers from false and misleading advertising related to debt relief services. In addition, the FTC has informed Congress that it expects to complete its debt relief services rulemaking by mid-summer. And despite some significant changes in state laws, the industry continues to wrestle with legislatures now considering new and more expansive regulations to cover the industry. On top of all that, the Congress is on the brink of final consideration of broad financial reforms including proposals to create a new federal regulator for consumer financial products and services including debt settlement and broadly expanding the authority of the FTC.
The legal landscape facing the industry is rapidly-shifting. Hear from two of the industry’s leading attorneys about what this all means for your company, and what you can do to proactively shape your own future. | 2019-04-24T08:10:53 | https://www.venable.com/insights/events/2010/06/legislative-update-the-rapidlyshifting-legal-lands |
Our main goal for 2016 was increasing our level of grantmaking, and we focused on this rather than hiring. The team expanded little, but we recommended over $100 million worth of grants in 2016, compared to under $20 million in 2015. We briefly summarize our activity in each of the major causes we worked on below. In most cases, it is too early to see impact from our work, but in a couple of cases there appears to be some early impact.
We had three Scientific Advisors - Chris Somerville, Heather Youngs and Daniel Martin-Alarcon - start in mid-2016. (Chris was previously consulting on a part-time basis.) We still have a good deal of work to do before setting focus areas within scientific research.
We did not complete the spinoff of the Open Philanthropy Project into a separate organization; this turned out to be more time-consuming than anticipated. We anticipate completing it by mid-2017.
We expect to be able to continue recommending grants at a pace of $100+ million per year (though with considerable year-to-year variation) and maintaining current quality (i.e. grants that we consider reasonably well-investigated and good expected value for money). We now have a much more tangible sense of what the day-to-day key questions and operational challenges are for giving in this range. Many new questions and challenges have come up.
At this stage, we now see greater importance for a number of issues including the question of how much grantmaking to aim for in each of our focus areas and how to decide when a grant is worth making, our approach to public communications, and how to make our grantmaking process more streamlined and systematic. In particular, we believe that we will gain a lot from sharpening our thinking on several points related to worldview diversification - and the relative appeal of different worldviews - before increasing our annual giving level much more.
For 2017, we don't plan to focus on scaling up our program staff or grantmaking. Instead, we expect to maintain them at roughly the same level while making significant progress on the items listed in the previous point.
Last year's post laid out plans for 2016. This section follows the order of that section, and quotes from it to allow comparisons between our plans and our progress.
Potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence will be a major priority for 2016 ... Daniel Dewey will work on it full-time, and Nick Beckstead and I [Holden] will both put significant time into it as well. Some other staff will be contributing smaller amounts of time as appropriate ... We won’t necessarily recommend a large amount of grantmaking in this cause, though it’s possible that we will. Our main goal is to lay the groundwork for more grantmaking in the future.
We recommended approximately $11 million in grants, including $5.56 million to start UC Berkeley's Center for Human-Compatible AI, $2.4 million to Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (writeup forthcoming), approximately $2 million to the Future of Humanity Institute, and $500,000 to Machine Intelligence Research Institute. Our grantmaking has focused on (a) creating more spaces for work on technical safety research in academia; (b) "shovel-ready" grants to existing organizations. We also put substantial effort into writing up our views on the topic, making connections with people in relevant fields, and developing a general grant process that we'll be using for more grants on technical safety work. We feel much better informed about this area, with a clearer sense of our future potential activities, than we did a year ago. We still consider it a highly promising philanthropic area, and we plan to continue allocating partial time from several staff (especially Nick Beckstead, Helen Toner and myself) as well as all of Daniel Dewey's time. Working this way in 2016 did not require cutting or suspending any other top-priority work, and we don't expect it to in 2017 either. We see this as a very long-time-horizon cause, and we don't think we can point to tangible impact of our work yet.
We hope to recommend at least $10 million worth of grants in the area of biosecurity in the next year. A full-time Program Officer will be starting work in this area soon.
With Jaime Yassif as our new Program Officer who started in mid-2016, we've recommended a bit over $21 million in grants in this area. $16 million of that was for the Center for Health Security; other major grants included $1.8 million for the Blue Ribbon Study Panel on Biodefense and $2.7 million for the Emerging Leaders in Biosecurity Initiative. We focused initially on "shovel-ready" grants to organizations that relevant staff had pre-existing knowledge of. We then spent some time setting priorities more systematically. In the near term our top three priorities will be: (1) risk assessment; (2) managing the risks posed by advances in biotechnology, its global spread and decreasing barriers to access; and (3) building capacity for independent policy research and advocacy. In the coming year we plan to refine our strategic priorities and set longer term goals for the program. Most of our grantmaking in this cause was done after mid-year and has aimed to build capacity for key institutions; we don't think we can point to tangible impact of this work yet.
We hope to recommend at least $10 million worth of grants in each of criminal justice reform and farm animal welfare. We have cause-specific staffers leading our work in both areas.
We recommended about $20 million worth of Criminal Justice Reform grants in 2016. Priorities include sentencing reform (including $3 million for the Alliance for Safety and Justice), organizing (including Faith in Texas, Mijente and The Ordinary People Society), prosecutorial accountability and reform (such as The Accountable Justice Project), and piloting and promoting alternatives to incarceration (such as restorative justice). We expect to publish significantly more content on this topic in the coming months. We've seen several cases where our grants may have had an impact, and will likely write more about some of these in the future (while some are best not to share publicly). So far, we believe the most significant case is that of a recent bill signed in Illinois that our grantee, the Alliance for Safety and Justice, estimates will result in approximately a 3000-person reduction in the prison population (we plan to discuss this in more detail in a future post). It is our understanding that ASJ developed the strategy for the bill, and worked very closely with the bill's champion Jehan Gordon-Booth, to cover all bases necessary in the state to get it passed. It passed with strong bipartisan majority and support from key law enforcement associations. Our grant to ASJ constituted 54% of its income in 2016; we believe this grant substantially increased the scope of ASJ's work, and that the work ASJ did in Illinois is among the work that would have been unlikely to occur without our support.
As quoted above, last year we wrote that we hoped to recommend at least $10 million worth of grants in this area. We recommended about $15 million worth of grants in 2016 (not including an additional $2.5 million we recommended in 2015). This included about $3 million each to Mercy for Animals (grants here, here and here) and The Humane League (here, here, and here). Our main focus was on corporate campaigns for better treatment of both layer and broiler chickens, both in the U.S. and abroad. Our grantees have now secured cage-free pledges from all of the top 25 US grocers, foodservice companies, and food manufacturers, and 16 of the top 20 fast food chains, which will benefit >250M hens annually once implemented. They have also secured global cage-free pledges from the world’s two largest foodservice companies, the world’s largest discount grocery chain, and several of the world’s largest hotel chains, and regional cage-free pledges from Latin America’s largest fast food operators and France and Britain’s largest grocers. And they have secured commitments from the largest US foodservice operators and several fast food chains to reduce the suffering of >200M broiler chickens annually. We also supported work on fish welfare, work on promoting animal product alternatives, and nascent work to build stronger farm animal welfare organizations in China and India. We view these as long-term efforts and don’t expect to see tangible progress from these grants soon.
exploring funding opportunities around a cluster of science and technology policy issues, such as policy around emerging technologies (potentially including advanced artificial intelligence) and other topics related to science policy and infrastructure.
investigating a set of funding opportunities in macroeconomic stabilization policy.
maintaining or expanding upon our grants in immigration policy and land use reform.
I’d guess that his work (aside from supporting Chloe and Lewis) will result in about $10 million worth of grant recommendations in 2016, but with high uncertainty.
Alexander spent less time on the above priorities than anticipated, instead focusing on supporting Chloe and Lewis, helping Open Philanthropy move toward spinning out as an independent organization, and working with the science team on grants around the use of gene drives in malaria control (discussed more below). We recommended about $2 million in grants to think tanks to work on macroeconomic stabilization policy (grant writeups here, here, here, here and here), as well as a renewal for Fed Up (writeup forthcoming). We also recommended $1-2 million for immigration policy and land use reform. We mostly think it is too early to see especially clear impact from these grants. We plan to lower the priority of new grantmaking (as opposed to renewals for existing grantees) in macroeconomic stabilization policy, immigration policy and land use reform this year. We've made a relatively small number of grants in these causes, and this is related to the fact that Alexander's attention has been divided between multiple priorities. (We've also updated in favor of the "expert" model of philanthropy described in this blog post.) For now, we anticipate mostly keeping our work in these areas in “maintenance mode,” while Alexander works on some other priorities (more below).
We still have a substantial amount of work to do before we’ll be ready to set focus areas within scientific research. We don’t plan to set a particular goal for 2016, because (a) we are allocating senior generalist time to potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence; and (b) we think time spent on scientific research will be much more productive after our scientific advisors come on board.
Recommended a large grant for work on gene drives that might reduce malarial burdens (main writeup forthcoming; one grant is written up here).
Reviewed over 100 grant proposals that were submitted to the NIH's Transformative Research Award Program and not funded, and we plan to recommending funding for some. We see this as a way of getting a very broad view of what sort of ambitious and unfunded ideas are out there in the life sciences.
There is a strong possibility that we will make grants aimed at helping grow the effective altruist community in 2016. Nick Beckstead, who has strong connections and context in this community, would lead this work.
We recommended about $1 million to Founders' Pledge, and $1.4 million for SPARC and Center for Applied Rationality. We also made recommendations for Machine Intelligence Research Institute and Future of Humanity Institute (writeup forthcoming), though we've classified these as falling under potential risks from advanced AI rather than under effective altruism. We are hoping to recommend grants for 80,000 Hours and Centre for Effective Altruism soon. At that point we believe we will have covered most of the major opportunities in this area, but we will continue to keep an eye out. We expect to have substantive updates on these organizations' progress and the impact of our funds within about a year, but we don't at the moment.
As discussed above, we have significantly better capacity - and context - for evaluating potential grants than we’ve had in the past. As such, we are making a moderate effort to identify potential grants that don’t fit neatly into an existing focus area but are highly “shovel-ready” (in the sense that we can identify a specific potential grantee) and appear strong overall based on the knowledge we’ve picked up in the course of our many cause investigations and discussions. We don’t expect to make a large number of these grants, but we expect to make some.
We recommended about $5.5 million in grants on outstanding opportunities to mitigate risks from climate change: $2.5 million for research on solar geoengineering (writeup forthcoming) and $3 million to encourage reduction in hydrofluorocarbon emissions. We also made about $1 million worth of other "one-off grants" (see here, here and here). We wrote about our recommendation to Good Ventures to grant $50 million to GiveWell's top charities. We aren't including this figure when we say (above) that "We recommended over $100 million worth of grants" in 2016.
We hope that by the end of 2016, the Open Philanthropy Project will operate as an independent organization from GiveWell, with its own employees and financials, though some individuals will continue to do work for both organizations.
We continue to commission case studies on philanthropy’s past successes as part of our history of philanthropy work. We also continue to collect relevant cases informally. By the end of 2016, we hope to publish a summary of what we’ve learned about the history of philanthropy, which will be a significant update from our 2012 post on the subject.
We hope to continue improving cross-cutting aspects of how we work. Our interests include improving our process for producing public writeups, refining our approach to cost-effectiveness estimates and comparing the good accomplished by different grants, refining our thinking about how much giving we should recommend to GiveWell's top charities, and finding ways to improve our general forecasting abilities (since our grantmaking decisions rely on views about what developments are likely in the future). We expect to do some work on all of these fronts, but it will not be a major priority with a concrete goal this year.
We still don't have the capacity we'd need to identify focus areas within the category of global health and development - beyond our existing connection to GiveWell's work and our support of the Center for Global Development. We don’t plan to build this capacity in 2016 and expect to revisit this in a future year.
The first of these - spinning off into an independent organization - turned out to be more complex and involved than we had anticipated. We put significant time into it in 2016 and are planning to complete the spinoff by mid-2017. We put less time than anticipated into the other points listed above. We did not publish an updated writeup on the history of philanthropy, and may or may not do so in 2017. We made some progress on the third point, including a revised approach to information sharing, starting to explore best practices for forecasting, improvements to our grantmaking process and new hires who focus on it, and an internal "Program Officer guide" that we expect to eventually create a public version of.
Speaking broadly, the main significance of 2016 for us is that we greatly increased our grantmaking, to the point where it is now comparable to that of major foundations. We expect to be able to maintain this pace and quality of giving recommendations (i.e. $100+ million per year, though with substantial year-to-year variation, from grants that we consider reasonably well-investigated and good expected value for money). If we had a goal of increasing the annual level of grantmaking further, we think we could fairly easily do so, and this has affected how we think about giving now vs. later. We now have a much more tangible sense of what the day-to-day key questions and operational challenges are for giving in this range. Many new questions and challenges have come up. At this level of giving, we now see more importance for careful public communications, the need for a more streamlined and systematic grantmaking process, and the need for more thinking about the question of how much grantmaking to aim for in each of our focus areas and how to decide when a grant is worth making. In particular, we believe that we will gain a lot from sharpening our thinking on several points related to worldview diversification - and the relative appeal of different worldviews - before increasing our annual giving level much more.
For reasons outlined above, we aren't planning much staff expansion in 2017. We plan to continue grantmaking roughly as we have been, while trying to improve the underlying processes and intellectual framework.
Major focus areas with full-time staff: we expect to continue our work on potential risks of advanced AI, biosecurity and pandemic preparedness, criminal justice reform and farm animal welfare much as we did in 2016. I would guess that the total amounts given in these causes will be broadly similar to what they were in 2016, and it's hard to say whether they'll be higher or lower for a given cause, because we don't know what sorts of opportunities we will find. My best guess is that the four causes combined will account for around $70-90 million in recommendations.
Other US policy grantmaking. We believe that the results of the 2016 elections have changed the overall landscape for U.S. policy (though not in a way that substantially alters the promise of criminal justice reform or farm animal welfare). Alexander Berger plans to put less emphasis on finding new grantees in immigration reform, macroeconomic stabilization policy and land use reform, while focusing on maintaining existing grants in those areas. He plans to spend more of his time exploring new potential Open Phil policy priorities in light of the 2016 elections. It's hard to say what level of grantmaking this will lead to.
Effective altruism. We now consider this to be among our focus areas. We've recommended (or will soon recommend) multi-year grants to the organizations we're most interested in supporting in this area. Nick Beckstead will maintain relationships and continue keeping an eye out for new opportunities, including opportunities to provide further funding to existing grantees, though we won't necessarily make new grant recommendations in 2017 beyond the couple we're working on now.
Scientific research. We've been working with our new full-time staff in this area for a few months, and feel that we still have a lot to learn about how best to investigate causes in this area. We hope to set focus areas by the end of 2017 or early 2018, though we still consider that a "soft" goal such that we will feel unsurprised if we don't achieve it. I expect that some grantmaking opportunities will come up in the meantime; we would like to recommend at least $10-20 million worth of grants while still choosing focus areas this year, including some of the "transformative research award" candidates mentioned above, and we plan to make larger grants if we can find outstanding opportunities (such as gene drives).
Other. Claire Zabel has been investigating potential "one-off grants" for global catastrophic risks other than the two mentioned above, particularly climate change and nuclear weapons policy. We don’t yet know how much grantmaking this will result in.
Overall, I will not be surprised if 2017 grantmaking is lower than 2016 grantmaking, as there were some significant one-off grants in 2016 (particularly in the area of gene drives). But I'd guess that we will recommend at least $100 million worth of grants, and I'll consider it quite surprising if we don't recommend at least $80 million worth.
How we determine whether it's better to make a given grant or save the money for a later date.
This work is likely to include addressing several of the fundamental questions we listed recently: how to compare cost-effectiveness across very different causes, how to make decisions under different kinds of uncertainty, how best to realize the benefits of worldview diversification, and which types of beings warrant our moral concern. It may also include some degree of further investigation on the moral value of the far future, and the question of how likely it is that we can have non-negligible impact on humanity's long-term prospects. We hope this work will put us in better position to make systematic day-to-day decisions about our grantmaking, and to choose the best possible cause prioritization and funding allocation as we scale up our giving further.
We're hoping to improve our grantmaking process, particularly the process of completing a writeup, grant agreement, and grant payment. (Currently, it often takes months from when we recommend a grant to when we finalize and announce the grant.) We recently hired Morgan Davis to help with this work, and may hire more people in line with this goal.
We're hoping to hire a Director of Operations so that we can be in good position to build an operations team as we grow further in the future. Currently, we largely share operations capacity with GiveWell.
We're hoping to improve our communications capacity. Currently, we make many grants with relatively little sense for what communications challenges they might raise, and what we can do to minimize or mitigate such challenges. We are exploring the idea of more intensive engagements with communications firms, and/or hiring, in order to get better at this. Doing so might also improve our ability to create public communications about our work that are more digestible than the content we currently put out.
We expect to complete the process of becoming a separate organization from GiveWell this year.
We are becoming more interested in the idea of finding additional donors to partner on our work, whether it takes the form of funding good giving opportunities that aren't a fit for us, pooling resources, or simply sharing a lot of information. Part of our increased interest comes from our increased sense that we can spend a lot of money in a high-impact way. We don't have any particular goals on this front for 2017, but we expect to spend more time talking with major philanthropists and future major philanthropists than we did in 2016.
We expect to very preliminarily start looking back at previous grants and doing self-assessment. However, we think it will be more productive to focus on this work a year or two from now. We expect most of our grants to take several years to have noticeable impact (if any), and the bulk of our grantmaking to date is now less than a year old.
Throughout this post, "recommended" means that a recommendation was made by an Open Phil grant investigator and approved by Cari and Holden. However, the recommendation is generally conditional on finalizing a grant agreement and completing due diligence, and in many cases the next step after this is a recommendation to a donor-advised fund that has final say in what grant (if any) is made. Grants are not posted to our database until completed, so in many cases the date of a grant's being "recommended" in the sense used here is different from the date that a grant appears in the database.
Last year's review stated, "We hope to recommend at least $10 million worth of grants in each of criminal justice reform and farm animal welfare.

What Do Professional Freelance Grant Writers Usually Do?
Grant writing denotes to the exercise of accomplishing an application activity for capital delivered by an organization such as a government subdivision, business, charity or trust. Such application activities are frequently suggested to be either grant "proposals" or "submissions."
Successful grant writing necessitates a perfect assimilation of what constitutes grantsmanship. While the codes and basics of grantsmanship apply roughly, it is essential to identify the objective and to be able to adjust the language suitably. A grant proposal typically appeals funding to upkeep activities that are coherent with the mission of the grant agency.
What is does the process of grant writing encompass?
What, and who, can usually get grants?
Non-profit Organizations with an Exempted Charitable Status from IRS can qualify for Corporate Grants, Foundation Grants, and Government Grants.
Individuals such as health professionals, educators, researchers, and artists might qualify for a minor figure of Foundation Grants depending upon the qualifications. Other individuals might get qualified for government grants; State and Local Governments oversee several of these grants.
For profit businesses (businesses, enterprises, or sole proprietors) can qualify for Government Grants contingent on the provisions of the Funding Announcement notice.

David Powell, unquestionably one of the world’s finest wine producers, has an uncanny ability to discover old vine Barossa vineyards, and then secure long term contracts for their fruit. It is amazing that such high quality sources have not already been plucked by Australia’s giant wine corporations. Torbreck’s wines continue to get better and better, combining the old vine ripe fruit of Barossa with a European sensitivity to elegance and balance. The finest wines in this portfolio are pricy, but David Powell delivers some remarkable reds and whites at prices that are more than fair for the quality in the bottle. | 2019-04-19T12:56:10 | https://thevinorium.co.uk/torbreck-the-factor-2003 |
Linda Anderson relates intuitively to the needs of today's women. A strong Biblical and literary background, energetic teaching style, and personal warmth and humor permeate her speaking and infuse her listeners with encouragement, hope, and inspiration.
Linda is a teacher and reading specialist by profession (B.A. in Literature, Wheaton College; M.A. in Education, University of Texas at San Antonio). She has taught in public and Christian schools, been a short-term missionary in East Africa, and written out of her own experience on both the pain of childlessness and the challenges of parenting. She has also taught singles' Sunday School classes, seminars, and other mixed groups.
Linda founded Mom to Mom Ministries and served for twelve years as the teaching leader of Grace Chapel's Mom to Mom program in Lexington, MA — an innovative parenting outreach program that has been featured in the Focus section of The Boston Globe (May 24, 1992) as well as in local newspapers and on cable television.
As the loving wife of a retired oncologist, grateful mother of three young adults, and enthusiastic "Nana" to a growing number of grandchildren, Linda has a special interest in topics related to marriage and family. As the daughter of Old Testament scholar Samuel J. Schultz, she has been a life-long student and teacher of the Bible, and her love of scripture tends to be contagious. As a popular retreat and seminar speaker, past teacher of singles, and current teacher of many moms, she has a heart-sensitivity to women and men at all ages and stages of life.
Early in 1991, three young mothers recognized in themselves and in their friends a great need: "We want to shape healthy Christian homes based on Biblical foundations, but where do we go for instruction that will filter the overwhelming overload of parenting advice through the strong sieve of Biblical truth? We long for experienced mothers as Godly role models, but our own families are far away and we have little contact with older moms. We often feel lonely and isolated in our 'mom-jobs' and yearn for interaction with other mothers struggling with the same issues."
Out of their need, these three dared to dream a big dream: "Couldn't we start a ministry for moms that would be Biblically based, educationally stimulating, and emotionally supportive? We'd like it to be a source of equipping, encouragement, and energizing for Christian mothers as well as an outreach to communities around us." These three women took their dream to the pastor of Grace Chapel and then to the Director of Women's Ministries, who contacted Linda Anderson. Linda had been teaching various parenting classes for years, and was well-equipped to formulate and direct such a program.
Thus Mom to Mom was born. As one might guess, it didn't just "happen." Countless hours of committee meetings, seemingly endless searches for "Titus 2 leaders," Childcare Coordinators and other workers, and most important of all, months of prayer ensued. We often found ourselves reminded of the familiar saying that we needed to "work as if everything depended on us and pray as if everything depended on God." And how faithful He has been, supplying far above all we could ask or think! | 2019-04-20T20:13:31 | https://momtomom.org/meet-the-founder/ |
The biggest of the big sailing ships to sail the promenade. You can’t see him from this angle, but there is a guy standing on the top platform behind the top most sail.
Dec. 31 – Jan. 2.
Multisailed boats parade by Blue Wing packed with tourists soaking up the sea air as the sun sinks in the sky over Key West. The late afternoon light turns the sails of these big boats into great luminescent sheets. One after one they sail down a promenade between anchorages before reaching shallow water, turning around and passing us once again.
This is our new nightly show. After over a week at our anchorage in no-one’s-land, Greg’s foot finally recovered enough so we could move the boat to a more settled spot and easier location for getting to shore (I had not been off the boat in over two weeks). So we left the parasailers and derilict boats and found a decent piece of water off of Fleming Key and nestled ourselves between a few other boats. Later that night we saw our new anchorage’s bonus, the promenade of sailboats.
We were so pleased to be in calmer waters, to have such an amazing view, and to be so much closer to town, we didn’t think it could get any better. Then new years night happened. I was in bed for a few hours when I was awakened by our dinghy, Fever, banging against the hull. I didn’t think too much about it because the current in our new location is so strong and weird stuff happens when the tide changes. And, you know, Fever gets a little antsy sometimes. While I was tightening Fev up to stop his banging, I noticed that we were pointing in a different direction from all the other boats. Of course I am all for going your own way, doing your own thing, but in a crowded anchorage, a little conformity is desirable. I watched for a couple of hours as Blue Wing moved around in all directions, dancing back and forth, here and there. Finally, I woke Greg. By the time he was up and on deck we were almost on top of another boat. Time to move!
We weighed anchor and motored to another spot that seemed to have more space. Then we waited to see if Blue Wing was going to settle down into a pattern like all the other boats. We watched the chart plotter for hours as she made long oblong circles back and forth through the water. Each pass to and fro we came awfully close to a crab pot and a mooring bouy. Despite Blue Wing’s broad movements she didn’t seem to be in any danger of hitting anyone, so we went below and slept for a few hours until shortly after daybreak. In the light we could see she had finally settled down. Unfortunately this was because her anchor rode was wrapped around the crab pot and mooring bouy. Time to move again!
The large mess of tracks in the middle of this Chart Plotter was Blue Wing’s path as she danced through the anchorage. You can see from the scale on the chart she was traveling a good bit of distance.
We got her untangled from the bouys and found another place that gave us plenty of room between ALL obstacles. We anchored and swung back in a rhythm with all the other boats. Our new location is on the outside of the anchorage which means more jet ski wakes, but we are also closer to town and now have an unobstructed view of the nightly boat parade. Yes! It did get better, after all. Well, at least for an hour or two.
Oh no! Shortly after we drop the hook another boat with a Danish flag came and tried to squeeze in between us and everyone else. We now had a changing tide with opposing wind. They were having trouble and drifted close to us. Greg let them know where our anchor was and warned them about the current. They appeared to pull up the hook and we thought they would go somewhere else, but they didn’t. Next time I came on deck the guy from the other boat had a tight grip on Blue Wing trying to keep his boat from hitting us. Their anchor chain had crossed ours and we had been pulled in the opposite direction. We worked together keeping the boats apart while he tried to pull up his anchor without pulling up ours. We finally cranked Blue Wing, gave her some reverse, and were free. They motored off passing close enough that one of their side mount solar panels barely missed hitting us, sliding through the rails of our bow pulpit!
As we waited for Blue Wing to settle back in a rhythm with everyone else, we watched as the Danish boat anchored again, father from us, but too close to a different boat.
Last night Fever started banging on the hull again. I got up to tighten him up and looked around the anchorage. Our Danish neighbors, who had been there at sunset, we’re now gone. I saw long distances between us and all the other boats, so I went back to sleep feeling confident that if Blue Wing wanted to, she had all the room she needed for a little midnight dancing by herself.
Greg’s foot has gotten much better. We will be here in Key West until it is 100%, or at least 99%, then wait for a weather window, then continue on our journey to Mexico.
As some of you may know, our MacBook Pro broke. It is five years old and they tell me it is not worth fixing, if they can even find the parts. I have typed this post and edited these photos on my tablet. It does the job, but moving the photos from my camera to the tablet is time comsuming, editting them is harder, and uploading everthing to WordPress is a pain. But no worries, we are used to evetything being way harder than it should be and can keep the posts coming until my camera SD card fills up. What we really miss is our TV series. Will we ever find out if Captain Archer saves Earth from the Xindi?!
Greg’s injury has actually ended up being a good thing. If we had continued on to Mexico, our computer would have broken there, where it may have been impossible or at least even more costly to replace. Actually, we have had even more good fortune stuck here in Key West, but we will save those stories for another post.

MANILA, JUNE 10, 2009 (STAR) By Des Ferriols - With the global economy not even out of recession, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Amando Tetangco warned against the disruptive impact of political events that could affect the country’s economic policies.
Tetangco noted yesterday that markets have been increasingly spooked over plans to amend the Constitution leading to a possible change in the political system that critics said was an attempt to keep President Arroyo in power.
Tetangco downplayed the political developments but admitted the market could be very sensitive to how the political situation would unfold in the coming months.
“Situations like this usually affect market perception but this can be said of any event,” he said.
Tetangco said it was natural for the market to be edgy and watchful of how these political developments would unfold and impact on the country’s economic policies, particularly the reforms that were already in place and needed to be completed.
“If the market will look at this, whatever is happening or is about to happen would be assessed based on its impact on the economic policies and therefore the performance of the economy,” Tetangco said.
The unfolding events apparently frightened the stock market and posted losses for two days in a row as various groups threatened to organize massive protest actions to oppose amendments of the country’s 22-year-old Charter.
Analysts said the developing conflict between the Arroyo administration and the opposition made investors nervous and they ultimately decided to cash in on gains rather than be stuck in a brewing political maelstrom.
The benchmark 30-company stock market index dropped 29.47 points or 1.175 percent while the all-shares index fell 1.3 percent.
For the moment, analysts said investors are using the political tension as an excuse to cash in.
Eventually, analysts said, these tensions could develop into real disruption, especially given the country’s history with street protests turning violent.
Before being sidetracked by the constituent assembly bill, Congress was in the middle of discussions on key economic reforms that the country’s creditors and investors have been waiting for.
Primary among these economic legislative initiatives are the bill to rationalize the country’s fiscal incentives for export industries, the indexation of the excise taxes on tobacco and alcohol to the inflation rate and the amendment of the BSP charter that would complement the amendment of the charter of the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp.
The Arroyo administration has to deal also with the inexorable decline in government revenues due to the failure of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to generate the taxes it was supposed to collect.
This year, the decline in revenues was expected to widen the government’s budget gap to at least 2.5 percent of the gross domestic product – a level that was widely viewed by creditors and investors as acceptable but only if it was the result of an increase in public spending on critical infrastructure.
As of April, the Department of Finance (DOF) reported that the fiscal gap was expanding, but spending has not been able to catch up with the programmed expenditures for the period even as tax revenues failed to meet projections.
The DOF has said it may increase its latest fiscal shortfall goal of P199.2 billion, or 2.5 percent of GDP.
“We would possibly downscale our growth targets, but it’s still positive,” Socio-Economic Planning Secretary Ralph Recto said.
Recto said the country still expects the economy to expand this year albeit at a slower pace than the government’s target of 3.1 to 4.1 percent, while the budget deficit could be wider than estimated.
Recto declined to give details on the new estimates up for approval.
Bond yields have risen since last week on investors’ worries that Manila may borrow more from the debt market to fund a larger budget deficit.
On Tuesday, yields in the secondary debt market climbed an average of 10 basis points and the Treasury rejected all bids at a regular auction of 5-year T-bonds after banks demanded a premium for the paper.
With debt yields on an uptrend, the Treasury said last week it has other funding options, including possibly another foreign debt sale and more concessional loans from multilateral lending agencies such as the World Bank.
In March, Recto said the Philippines’ budget deficit could balloon to as much as P257 billion this year if tax collections fall short of target and Manila fails to sell assets to boost its revenues.
The economy shrank a seasonally adjusted 2.3 percent in the first quarter from the previous three-month period, the lowest in two decades, prompting the central bank to deliver last month its fifth rate cut in a row since December. | 2019-04-21T19:22:01 | http://www.newsflash.org/2004/02/be/be004126.htm |

As a commenter to a past post noted, a dynamic physician with business savvy would be crucified at the FDA. Alas, that commenter is likely correct. There are always people who will try to bring down someone who could bring necessary changes and enliven an institution.
But it might be that the current administration will not be able to rely on having its current non-dynamic physician appointed as the FDA Commissioner. Some Senators on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which will be considering the issue on Thursday, have made it very clear that they will be putting a "hold" on the nomination of Dr. Lester Crawford as the permanent FDA Commissioner (he has been the Acting Commissioner for 18 months or so now).
More than one political pundit has deemed our current time as the Information Age. We're constantly inundated with data - some mundane, some crucial, much of it not-quite-so-accurate.
In the medical arena, omitting information or disseminating partial or inaccurate info can be annoying at best, fatal at worst. In an effort to try to keep the public better informed about drug safety issues, the FDA is preparing to launch a new Drug Watch webpage. Likewise, to combat the myriad of websites that contain false or misleading information about vaccine safety, the World Health Organization (WHO) has created a list of 23 websites that it considers "reliable."
The FDA has been without a permanent commissioner for about a year. It was exciting when, just a couple months ago, it looked like Dr. Lester Crawford would move up from being the Acting Commissioner to being the permanent Commissioner. Alas, his confirmation was blocked by two Senators and the FDA is still in limbo.
The reason for the blockage is rather substantial - Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY) are concerned about the FDA's dragging its feet in making a decision about approval of OTC Plan B contraceptive. The contraceptive is strongly opposed by conservatives, but all scientific evidence states that it is safe and effective, so its prohibition from being on retail shelves appears to be entirely political. As the FDA is supposed to be making decisions based on science rather than political winds, this is rather alarming.
I have to imagine that there are some days where the director of NIH, Dr. Elias Zerhouni, just wants to run down the hallway with his fingers in his ears yelling "LA LA LA LA LA!" In the last year, one of the stickiest issues the NIH has faced and that has gained huge public attention is the dilemma regarding outside compensation to NIH scientists by corporations.
To sum up the issue - until last year, NIH scientists were able to receive a certain amount of compensation from outside corporations, so long as they disclosed that work. Then it came out that maybe two dozen of the thousands of NIH employees (researchers and non-researchers) had received rather hefty sums of money and it wasn't clear in each case whether those amounts were disclosed. Following Congressional hearings on the issue, Dr. Zerhouni placed a moratorium on any scientists receiving outside compensation for their work. In February, a new interim final rule was put in place that allows non-researchers to have up to $15,000 in stock holdings of pharmaceutical companies, and no NIH employee may perform any compensated speaking, editing or writing for a regulated entity or any uncompensated outside employment. In addition, no senior employee may receive any gift or award because of their NIH position that is more than $200 in value.
You may recall that the NIH had come under fire when it was revealed, after inquiry by former Rep. Greenwood, that some NIH researchers had received rather substantial consulting fees from biomedical companies that they had not disclosed. The NIH had reacted then by issuing a moratorium on all employees from receiving any funds at all from external sources for research until it issued it's final rule on financial arrangements between NIH researchers and biotechnology companies.
The NIH has finally issued its rule in an internal memo, and it's not quite as harsh as first proposed, but still has tighter restrictions than had been in place a year ago. The new rule is that temporary researchers can retain their stock holdings in such companies, and permanent researchers must divest such holdings by October, 2005. There was no prohibition placed on receiving money or other compensation from biotechnology companies.
As expected, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) is making rumblings about his soon-to-come bill to create an independent drug safety review office that will have increased capabilities for issuing warnings to drug manufacturers. Several critics, including Sen. Grassley, have been going after the FDA for its internal structure that supposedly intimidates certain FDA scientists from waving red flags about approved drugs to their superiors, because those superiors have already approved the drug and the scientists fear retaliation.
The NIH has issued its new rule regarding its employees and potential financial conflicts, and it's a lot stricter than most had thought it would be. Although prior rules were somewhat difficult to sort out, the new one leaves little room for fudging. | 2019-04-22T08:22:36 | https://lifetech.blogs.com/bionanoblawg/hhsnihfda_news_and_policies/ |

How to create custom roles inherited from parent folder?
Permissions inheritance is disabled on folder and enabled on documents.
User A and User B have access to Documents Folder. User A can only see document1.pdf in folder and User B can only see document2.pdf in folder.
I checked many configurations but results are the same. I was trying to not modify original permissionDefinitions.xml and three dots means that there is original configuration copied to my xml for cm:cmobject and cm:folder type.
Is it possible to do this by adding permissions to folder?
I think your best option is create a script that perform the role assignation and execute it in the folder using a rule in content creation or content update.
I know that it can be done using rules. But I wonder if it`s possible using permission definions without creating rules. Maybe someone tried that.
Does it impact on repository if permissions are configured on every document instead of parent folder?
I`ve found a thread about similar case: https://community.alfresco.com/thread/166670-customize-permissions-based-on-types Unfortunately a link with possible solution isn`t working. This thread shows a configuration with a Dummy role which was added in cm:cmobject, cm:content and cm:folder type.
I read the post and I see that its final conclusión is that is not not possible with configuration od permissions. I presume that the link explain a solution based on rules or behaviours.
If you wan't to use rules maybe you can implement a solution based on Behaviours (could try with onSetNodeType, onCreateNode or onUpdateNode). The develope could be more dificult but it save you the time of aplying the rules in the repository.
I think there is no impact in handling permissions in contens instead of folders, apart from the tedious administration if you have to do it manually.
thank you for the answer. I had hope that something has changed through last 10 years and someone found a solution. It looks like it should be done using rules / policies. | 2019-04-26T04:27:34 | https://community.alfresco.com/thread/241076-how-to-create-custom-roles-inherited-from-parent-folder |

YOU HAVE BE WARNED! IF YOU SLEEP LIKE THIS AT NIGHT, YOUR HEALTH IS AT RISK!
Did you know that certain sleeping positions need to be avoided so that you are not exposed to side effects? Namely, just as factory workers’ health is at risk because they’re in the same position for 8 hours or more, your health is also at risk when you sleep in the same position at night.
Sleeping allows us to rest and gather energy so that we can function better. The way you sleep has a tremendous influence on your overall well-being and when you don’t sleep properly, you can experience numerous health problems.
For example, if you tend to sleep on your right side, you can experience frequent shoulder ache, whereas if you sleep on your back, you might be prone to back pain. According to Andrew Bang, our bodies like diversity. For example, if you fall asleep on your back, switch on the right or left side if you happen to wake up at some time in the night. Sleeping on the back is usually much more comfy and less stressful for the spine than sleeping on the stomach is.
The three sleeping positions, on the stomach, back or on the sides, each have their own influence on your health. Sometimes, sleeping on the back can cause snoring, and if you tend to snore, sleeping on your back will only worsen your condition.
Additionally, sleeping on the stomach pressures the neck and back, which makes it difficult to have a good night’s sleep. The best sleeping position is to sleep on the side, either left or right.
In this way, you won’t snore or you will snore less. However, this position is not very good for the spine, so put a pillow between your legs when you sleep on the side. | 2019-04-23T00:30:46 | http://www.worldhealthinfo.net/2016/12/you-have-be-warned-if-you-sleep-like.html |
A Recap of 2017 at Perrini Organic.
In Castellaneta in Apulia, the 2017 harvest has started on an ideal, bright day of August. A mellow winter and a dry and sunny summer allowed us to ward off any vineyard disease and for the grapes to reach an ideal health and phenolic ripeness. From our first analysis and tasting the juices, we have registered optimal sugar and acidity levels, with aromatic and juicy grapes, indicating excellent quality even though we suffered from 50 to 60% losses.
We began the harvest with the earliest ripening Primitivo grapes and then Negroamaro, Fiano and Moscato, leaving the late-ripening Primitivo on the plants. Thanks to favorable weather conditions, this will give birth to our extraordinary Passito.
Grapes are carefully selected and manually harvested in small cases. They are immediately brought to the winery for pressing, which happens within a few hours. The rich must with an alcoholic potential between 12° and 14,5° has promptly started spontaneous fermentation, thanks to the generous presence of native yeasts naturally present on the skins.
Very quickly, scents of fruit and flower perfumed the air from our vats. While the majority of our production is produced in stainless steel, we also put a selection of our best Primitivo and Negroamaro in French oak barriques in our underground cellar.
After a first week of harvesting, the Sauvignon and Gamay is in the cellar.
I'd predicted a delay in the maturities of vines that succumbed to the frost, but the Sauvignons were more stressed by the lack of water in the final stretch of summer: everything is very concentrated, aromatic of of high quality. We decided to not waste any time, because rain was announced.
We were a large team of pickers in order to cover each surface quickly and to get the grapes in the cellar nice and fresh. The juices are great, but there will be even less than last year... a sad record to break. And I must really thank the team: they did not miss a single grape!
The Côt, Cabernet and Pineaux Mêlés are not ripe as of this writing, with very high acidities. Everything is currently on hold, as the rain finally arrived. I think it will help re-invigorate them. It's not that warm out and there is wind, which limits the risk of rot, so that's good.
The old vines Pineaux Mêlés frosted really bad, and while some bunches came out of them, it's not enough to make a cuvée. If I find a solution I will let you know.

Another Challenging Year in Sancerre for Thomas-Labaille.
Another complicated year. We had heavy frosts in late April; in spite of many bails of hay light on fire, Chavignol was not spared. This is the worst frost in the village since 1991. It was also a precocious year, and the hot summer sped things up even more; we originally planned to harvest on September 7th, but ended up starting on the 15th.
Though it was rainy during harvest, the sanitary state of the grapes was good (though there was not much juice in the berries.) The quantity is of course heavily affected by the frost, but the quality of the juices is there.
On the 18th, the sun came back and we were able to work the Monts Damnés in beautiful weather. With the lowering acidities and higher degrees, it reminds me of 2015, but with a smaller crop. In fact, this is the smallest crop since 2009 on Monts Damnés.
The higher degrees also mean vinification will be more challenging. With the last few vintages being drastically different climactically, our Sauvignon is having a hard time finding its balance. I can only imagine that things are going to get more drastic from village to village, because certain sectors are way more affected than others.
A Challenging, Atypical Third Vintage for Phillipe Chevarin.
In 2017, the vines decided to grow very precociously. Following the catastrophic 2016 (frost and mildew), the buds were rather promising in terms of quantity. And then, a late April frost decimated 80% of my future crop.
I am lucky to be part of a collective of likeminded vignerons called Pinards et Jus d'Ancenis. We are all close to each other geographically and philosophically. For the last five years, we boat down the Loire with our wines from Oudon to Nantes on in an effort to make a larger public discover our terroirs.
This association also permits us to exchange greatly on our practices, to share work equipment and to not feel alone when faced with difficult situations. Through this solidarity, we were able to collectively able to get grapes from a few parcels that were supposed to be torn out. We started working them in May and maintained them up to harvest.
The harvest snuck up on us, and arrived very early. I started on August 31st, 15 days in advance. My neighbor Jacques Février and I shared a harvest team, and we began with the Melon de Bourgogne. It was very complicated to organize everything, as we had to juggle between the ripe grapes on the parcels that hadn't frozen, the less ripe grapes on frosted vines (sometimes within the same parcel!) the solidarity parcels we were harvesting collectively with other vignerons and grapes that were offered to us at the last minute we ended up buying.
It was an extremely difficult three weeks both mentally and physically, which in the end resulted in a little more grapes than last year. But the quality was very heterogeneous, and thus harder to vinify. I'm rather satisfied with the final result, even if some small vats have proven challenging. I continue to learn in this third, atypical vintage.
Another Terribly Short Crop at Maison Pierre Overnoy.
What we did pick was very good, and as always we were surrounded by a great team. The fermentations are off to a nice start, and the juices are tasting good. Now we will guard these like a new born babe!
2017: Hard but Better than 2016.
Though we did frost twice in late-April, we had less losses than 2016. Sadly, it was our single parcels that suffered the most: Bonnes Blanches, Initial Bb, Savennières and Rouchefer. The juices are of very high quality and are fermenting well: the Chenins are aromatic and vivacious, the Grolleau is juicy and the Cabernets are powerful.
Magic of Juju will make its triumphant return, and new cuvées may see the light of day. The harvest went well with a motivated, hardworking team.
The distinctive feature of the 2017 vintage was the early harvest. Luckily, neither our vines or the young plantations in the Santuario plot were affected by the spring frost.
It has been a dry, windy year with above-average summer temperatures. A few storms in August threatened to bring hail but, luckily, we ended up with just rain, limiting any water stress to the plants. The grapes have ripened and are beautiful, of excellent quality. The 2017 Nebbiolo is at its best. This is surprising, because the variety is not used to such heat and lack of rain, so the skin of the fruit has thickened and production is more limited than usual. On the other hand, the hot climate favored the white Erbaluce vines. We completed our harvest in the beautiful, warm weather of late September - early October, the earliest we've ever picked!
In the winery, the must has a very high sugar content and good acidity, particularly for the white. For the first time we are employing and perfecting submerged cap fermentation for our white grapes. As usual, allowing the many tannins and sugars in her majesty the Nebbiolo the freedom to express themselves will be a real challenge!

We began picking on August 29th and finished on September 13th for the whites. Usually we are used to starting in mid-September, and the last time I can remember such a precocious harvest was 2005. Here is a breakdown: Briords was harvested August 30th, Château Thébaud on September 9th, Gras Mouton on September 6th and Clisson September 8th. Clisson we picked a little earlier than originally planned due to a rainy weekend forecast.
A few days before harvest, we got 25mm of rain, which really helped advance maturities. It also ballooned the grapes a bit without diluting them. This is confirmed by the fact the juices are all between 11% and 12.5%, with 5 or 6 grams of acidity. Throughout harvest, the rain persisted and started degrading the grapes by the very end.
Still, we are very satisfied with what we've brought into the cellar: a higher quantity than even a good year, and certainly more juice than we were estimating for the vintage.
For the reds, the Côt was harvested on September 13th, the Merlot on the 21st and the Cabernet on the 26th. All of these were affected by frost and the maturities are a little out of wack compared to a normal year.
After the horrific frosts of April, all hope of a harvest was strongly compromised. Spring and summer, both warmer than 2016, permitted the vines to relaunch themselves in a way they could not in the previous year. Low and behold, we still had grapes, particularly on the vines that were pruned later in the season.
The heat of the summer made the grape’s maturities rise very quickly. We started picking on September 11th, with harvest lasting two weeks. Everything went really quickly, which is to be expected with the extremely low yields of 10l/hl. Only the Chardonnay was a little more generous, as one parcel was spared from the frost.
The whites are very ripe, with a high concentration of sugar but also good acidity. For the reds, we had some pleasant surprises with the Pinot: the wines are tense and with good structure. The Romorantin was picked the last week of September, a tiny harvest with just 5hl/ha. It was the most impacted grape of ours this vintage.
All you need to do is look at the happy faces of our team to show the satisfaction of finishing a harvest that had started really poorly!
Let's not forget that yet another threat of frost loomed over us for many nights, just as it did in many other regions. For five nights, we fought it will everything we had: candles, anti-frost towers, and spraying hot water to avoid the catastrophe of 2016.
While these methods were quite successful, it's important to point out that the temperatures never went below -3° C. In the end we were able to escape unscathed from a hellish period. The end of Spring was beautiful, with an exceptional May an a precocious flowering in June.
Summer was a little spottier but the vines got the rain they needed and in the end we started about 15 days earlier than a traditional vintage. Like the old guard says, a precocious vintage is rarely a bad one in Chinon. 2017 is looking great, with a generous harvest of grapes high in sugar and flavor.
While all the conditions for an excellent vintage have been given to us, it is with a heavy heart that we think of all our colleagues who suffered terribly from the frost and other climactic challenges.
We started on August 29th with the white grapes, over 15 days in advance. We then followed with Oupia's Syrahs on the La Caunette parcel. It will be a smaller harvest this year due to three nights of frost followed by summer drought. In any case, the grapes harvested matured nicely, with a good sanitary state. Everything is the cellar is tasting good, with no major worries.

Yesterday was the first day the sun has shined in a long time here in Southeast Ohio. Anybody who loves to ride bikes will tell you that it’s been really hard this winter to do any sort of riding at all. With a break in the snow and the sun shining enough to dry up the roads, I was looking for a good excuse to ride. I found one.
Richland United Methodist, one of the local churches, is sponsoring a program called Great Food For All. Basically it allows you to buy a week’s worth of food for 30 bucks. This is the first time we’ve tried it, even though they have been doing the program for a few months. Today was the pickup day, so rather than drive the 5 minute, 1 mile direct route, I decided to get a bike ride and an adventure out of it.
I was dreaming of doing this last night, and we I told my wife about it this morning, she thought it was a good way to get a ride it. I attached my trailer, normally reserved for hauling the kids on the bike path, to my mountain bike. I had initially thought I would take my road bike, as it fits the trailer a bit better. As the video shows, I’m really glad I didn’t. The ride was fantastic, and even with the temperatures around 32 degrees, I stayed really warm. The slower speed of the mountain bike, and towing the trailer, helped me keep quite toasty. I even found myself sweating pretty bad on some of the hills. Except for taking a few wrong turns on the way there and back, it was a great ride. Next time I’ll know the correct route to take, but I got to where I needed to be and had a good time doing it.
It was a really good ride, and it felt fantastic to ride outdoors. Unfortunately, with more snow coming tomorrow night, it might be a while before I can get on the road again. I’m looking forward to spring.
I haven’t been on bike ride outside since November. With the forecast calleing for 55 degrees today, I decided to ride my bike to work. Roads were a bit damp despite being dry yesterday. Since I had to work the reference desk at the library, I carried my clothes with me. This video describes some of the ride and the kit I carried. | 2019-04-19T21:20:39 | http://redneckinspandex.com/category/videos/ |

It’s happened to everybody who owns a car. Some anonymous beast nails our car in the parking lot and while we never get the chance to wring their necks, they do leave us with a dent in our car, mementos of the event. Getting these dents out can be a serious hassle for anybody. Messing around with the paint job can be expensive and it’s nigh impossible to match paint colors exact enough not to stick out and look like a sort of automotive Frankenstein monster. Which still leaves you with a big ugly dent and not much that can be done about it. You can try to fix it yourself with home auto tools such as the ubiquitous heat gun, but the fact is, getting a dent out is a seriously difficult job, even for automotive professionals. Still, in this modern age, help is available.
The process of paintless dent removal is a process distinct from mechanical and electric work, being more of an auto body job than a mechanic’s job. It’s a process that takes a lot of specialized equipment and more than a little artistic know how. The first part of paintless dent removal is looking at the dent closely and seeing how the damage lines up with the car’s body. An auto body expert needs sharp eyes and a lot of in the field experience to figure out what the car’s metal should look like rather than what happened to it, and then figuring out the best way to mend the damage. Some of the equipment resembles hooks; these tools are inserted underneath the car’s body and then the professional tugs and pushes the metal, looking at it carefully and lining it up with a specialized light fixture. Sometimes this process requires the use of a powerful heat gun to soften the metal. Of course, going overboard is always a danger in the process, so like all tools, the heat gun is used carefully. Sometimes the process requires a leveler device to get the muscle needed to push the dent out. When metal needs to pushed back into the car, the professional uses a hammer and a set of specialized tools, punches that resemble chisels, save that rather than being intended to break material, they’re meant simply to push it back in. The process requires working from multiple angles and the process is extremely labor intensive and tedious, hence why even automotive professionals prefer to hire others to do it for them. Most specialists in paintless dent removal start out learning what they can and can’t do with metal on discarded car hoods, though since each car is different, they need to relearn it on every job they do.
Paintless dent removal is a long, difficult process, but the results can be stunning. Even the biggest, ugliest dent can be made to disappear as if they were ordinary mud stains if enough time and effort is expended on them. And, when your car is looking its best, unmarred and glorious, so are you. | 2019-04-18T16:17:05 | https://www.extremeautobodypueblo.com/paintless-dent-removal/ |
1. Israel occupies the State of Palestine.
This is not a conflict among equals but a belligerent military occupation, whereby Israel is the occupying power and Palestine a nation under foreign occupation. Israel has systematically denied the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including its right to freedom and self-determination. Israel imposes a policy of forced displacement of the indigenous Palestinian population and replacement with foreign settlers.
2. The main issue is the Israeli Occupation.
The Israeli government attempts to shift the focus away from their colonization enterprise and illegal occupation, which is the root cause of the continuous uprisings of the Palestinian people who have for decades endured an Apartheid regime. Though Israeli spokespeople have claimed that the main issues are Al-Aqsa and “Palestinian incitement”, the fact of the matter is that Israel continues to systematically deny Palestinian rights. Israeli leaders continue to incite against Palestinians, just as the so-called “Aqsa-deal” does not address the core of the issue.
3. Palestinian Recognition of Israel was met with more Colonization.
In 1988 the PLO made the historic compromise of recognizing Israel over 78 percent of historic Palestine (the 1967 border). It declared a Palestinian State on 22 percent of our historic homeland. Twenty-eight years have passed since that moment and Israel still does not recognize the existence or the right of an independent State of Palestine. Instead, Israel has opted to strengthen its belligerent occupation, continues its colonization of Palestine, and imposes an Apartheid regime on the Palestinian people. As a matter of fact, since Palestine recognized Israel, the number of settlers has tripled (from 190,000 to more around 600,000).
4. For Israel, forcible displacement and colonization are an official policy, not the two-state solution.
On the eve of Israeli elections in March 2015, Netanyahu promised his constituents, “If I'm elected, there will be no Palestinian State”. This was reinforced by his cabinet when Ayelet Shaked declared that “there never will be a Palestinian state”. Israel’s top diplomat, Tzipi Hotovely was also clear about Netanyahu’s government intentions: “All the land is ours.” Israel today continues to reject the two-state solution while their settlement-expansion and forcible displacement policies continue to plague Palestinian aspirations of peace and security.
5. East Jerusalem is an integral part of the Occupied State of Palestine.
East Jerusalem was occupied by Israel in 1967, and subsequently annexed by the occupying power in violation of international law. Despite Israeli claims and efforts to change the historical narrative of the occupied city, 360,000 Palestinian live in East Jerusalem, comprising 40 percent of the city’s population, and the legal status of East Jerusalem is an occupied territory, and must continue to be referred to as such.
6. Israeli settlements in Occupied East Jerusalem are as illegal as settlements in the rest of the Occupied State of Palestine.
Israel refers to the illegal settlements in Occupied East Jerusalem as “neighborhoods” in order to normalize the annexation of the occupied Palestinian capital. In reality those illegal settlements have the same legal status as the rest of the settlements in Occupied Palestine and those inhabiting the settlements are also illegal settlers. Pisgat Ze’ev, Gilo, French Hill, Neve Ya’akoub, Har Homa, Ramat Shlomo, Giva’at Hamatos, East Talpiyot (Armon HaNetziv) and Ramot, among others, are all illegal Israeli settlements and should be referred to as such.
7. The Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound is under Israeli Occupation just as the rest of East Jerusalem.
While some media outlets have preferred to focus their discussion on whether Al-Aqsa is holy for Muslims or for Jews, they tend to omit the fact that this Muslim holy site is under Israeli Occupation, as is the rest of Occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City. Interference with the institutions of the occupied by the occupying power, is strictly prohibited by international law. Israel has effectively interfered with and changed the status quo of Christian and Muslim prayer sites and institutions in Occupied East Jerusalem.
8. Israel has effectively changed Al-Aqsa’s Status Quo.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound is a holy site comprised of 144 dunums of land1, which includes the two mosques (the Dome of the Rock and Al-Qibli) as well as open areas for prayers around them. The Status Quo of Religious Sites which mandates prayer rights, right to access, and excavation and maintenance regulations, dates back to the Ottoman Period. However since 1967, Israel, the occupying power, has effectively changed Al-Aqsa’s Status Quo through several policies, including terror attacks, the destruction of the ancient Minbar (prayer platform) of Salah ad-Deen al Ayyubi (1969), several military raids and storming of the compound, including the one led by former Israeli PM Ariel Sharon (2000), illegal and unauthorized excavations, destruction of 20 Islamic graves to make room for the “Jewish Biblical Garden” (2014), as well as systematic closures over the Holy Site. Under the Status Quo, the Waqf Custodian is the administrator and manager of the site. However, Israeli occupying forces restrict access to Palestinian worshippers, systematically enter without authorization, and bar Muslim freedom of worship In 2012, age restrictions were imposed on Muslim worshippers on three occasions. In 2014, the Israeli occupying forces imposed age restrictions for Muslim worshippers on 41 occasions. In addition, Israel closed the compound to all Muslim worshippers and visitors for one day on October 30, 2014, the first such full closure in 14 years. Placing cameras that will broadcast to Israeli occupying forces is a further violation of the Status Quo.
9. International protection is a right for the Palestinian people.
After half a century of belligerent military occupation, Palestinian civilians have been dramatically affected by Israeli policies such as forced displacement and collective punishment. This has been possible due to an unprecedented culture of impunity granted to the Israelis by many international actors, including the Security Council. Cases such as large-scale attacks on Gaza, settler terror, attacks by the Israeli occupying forces on civilian populations, and expulsions are not exceptions, they are the reality Palestinians endure daily under the Israeli occupation. International protection is an internationally-recognized right for our people and it is the responsibility of the international community to provide it.
As a response to the current situation, several international partners have asked for the resumption of negotiations with Israel. While Palestine supports a negotiated twostate solution, there are basic requirements for negotiations to be meaningful and not a simple public relations exercise to strengthen Israel’s impunity. Full implementation of Israeli obligations Israel has already committed to in signed agreements must come to fruition, such as full cessation of settlement activities, release of Palestinian prisoners, and the reopening of Palestinian institutions in East Jerusalem, among others, is a must for any negotiations to be credible. Clear terms of reference based on international law, including a clear timeframe and an end to the occupation that began in 1967, are necessary. Any political process should lead to the implementation of international law and UN resolutions, not the strengthening of Israel’s occupation, colonization, Apartheid and culture of impunity.

Zeds Threads is one of the few remaining traditional tailors in the world. We follow the original artisan mode of production for tailoring. We have a full-time pattern maker. All orders a sewn in-house.
The tailoring industry is based on the brokerage model. The tailor store is a sales funnel to collect orders which are outsourced to brokers and the is order sewn by a home tailor or in a small workshop. The pattern making process is by passed.
We deliver on fit and quality of workmanship close to 100% of the time as is humanly possible. Our craftsmanship is 100% guaranteed. We can do this consistently. Once we have your pattern the process is close to perfect as possible.
Bypassing the pattern making process and outsourcing the sewing cannot deliver the same level of quality on a consistent basis. There is no pattern to go back to if you want to order more of the same garment.
The value that we provide possibly cannot be bettered. The few traditional tailors like us are mainly situated in high wage countries. To get this level of service anywhere else is going to cost a lot more.
The Hanoi store is a startup up for us. We are developing products to sell online. We have have kept the price as low as possible as we need clients from all over the world. The clients get a true luxury product and we are discovering their needs and the problems they want solved first hand.
The investment in our business is heavily geared to the backend of the business: the workshop. This is reflected in our price. We have looked at commercial rental space all over Hanoi. With our current premises we have found a balance between minimising the costs of the front end (the store) and still being accessible to our clients. Thus we are are lower cost than the luxury looking tailor stores around town. Hanoi has some of the most expensive real estate in the world. This is reflected in commercial rental costs. The overhead is paid for by the customer. What the high end tailoring stores focus on is providing an experience.
With our low investment in the front end we cannot provide the experience of the luxury looking tailor stores. In our store it is the pattern maker who measures you. Our workshop is next to our store to allow quick interaction between workshop staff with clients at our store. We don't know of any place in Asia that can provide this level of service.
However it does not make the same kind of impact on the brain as a luxurious setting with well dressed and scripted staff putting on a performance. This kind of experience will last forever. This was pioneered by the luxury brands as they made the transition from artisan production to mass production.
Perception also impacts on how a person views a product. A suit made by a home tailor is going to be perceived differently based on the price paid and from whom it is purchased. If it is bought directly from the maker it might cost a few hundred dollars versus over a thousand dollars if purchased from a luxury looking tailor store. It is the same suit but the feeling and the long term memory will be significantly different.
This is why luxury brands can sell factory made shirts for over US$1,000. Their production costs are insignificant but this does not guarantee profits as their overheads are incredibly high. Having to rent the most expensive real estate around the world has its price. Making millions of products cheaply has its own price too. Those products have to be sold and branding is very expensive. What you pay for is an experience and a feeling. They make a living with a few hero products.
We make the luxury product without the sizzle and the high price.
We have used many words to describe what we do: handmade, artisan, bespoke, fairtrade, real luxury etc. We have found one word that describes everything we are doing and what we are striving for: shokunin. This is a Japanese word that means artisan or craftsman, but it is also a philosophy that reflects many of the processes and ideals we practice and strive for.
"Shokunin means not only having technical skill, but also implies an attitude and social consciousness... a social obligation to work his best for the general welfare of the people, [an] obligation both material and spiritual." This quote from a shokunin woodwork master captures the essence of what shokunin is. This is what we are committed to.
We are the shokunin tailor.
The benefit of following the artisan or shokunin mode of production is that we can provide customised clothing and high quality workmanship. This is what luxury clothing used to be.
As our focus is on the making, the artisan process. Our client does not pay for unnecessary overhead like an expensive front end. We make true luxury clothing and provide value at the same time.
We make to order. We only make something if someone wants it. Our carbon footprint is tiny. Wastage is eliminated to the maximum. Our mode of production is green.
Factory work is based on a division of labour whereby work is reduced to the smallest component possible. It is deskilled work and the worker has little or no bargaining power over wages or working conditions. Artisan workers are highly skilled. Our workers are paid on merit. More than half our overhead is wages. These wages not only support our workers and their direct family but also support the extended family back in the hometown.
Soon even the factory work will be taken over by mechanisation. The artisan or shokunin mode of production will continue to offer employment to human beings as long as other human beings are willing to pay for something made by a human.
We believe that the artisan mode of production offers a win-win for all stakeholders and our planet which is home to us all.
Zeds Threads is committed to providing customised clothing to our clients who want the quality that we offer on a consistent basis. We are committed to ongoing improvement. Zeds Threads is a client driven business. Please feel free to give us feedback via our website. | 2019-04-19T06:18:28 | https://www.zedsthreads.com/shokunin.html |

Food Addiction : Part 1: Claiming that food is addictive probably sounds bizarre, even crazy to some people, to others they nod their heads because they know how it feels. Imagine food as a drug like cocaine. The symptoms and thought processes are exactly the same. It’s just a different substance and the social consequences aren’t as severe.
Food addiction is being addicted to refined carbohydrates, mainly sugar and flour in the same way as addicts are addicted to drugs.
Food addiction can cause serious harm, leading to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. The biggest problem, as with all addictions, is that it can ruin your life. It makes life a living hell as it breaks self-esteem, makes you hate your body and your mind as you fight day in, day out to control what feels like uncontrollable urges to eat. It makes people feel ashamed and want to hide away from life, eat in secret and feel they are abnormal and useless. In extreme circumstances it can sometimes lead to thoughts of suicide.
How do I know if I’m a food addict?
So how do you know if you’re addicted to food and why does it happen? Simply put, if you can have one bite and stop there, then indulging a little bit when you get a craving is absolutely fine. But if you tend to binge after tasting sugary food, then giving into cravings is the worst thing you can do.
This behaviour is not driven by hunger.
Sweet, refined carbohydrate foods activate the same areas in the brain as drugs like cocaine. The cravings are so intense that you eat despite knowing that you’re causing harm. Like cocaine, the cravings are not driven by the body; they are driven by the brain’s need for reward.

Inverbrackie Border Leicester Stud is located only an hour from Adelaide being 12km south of Strathalbyn on Dry Plains Road, just out of the Mt Lofty Ranges. The reliable rainfall and cool climate provide good conditions for breeding sheep. The average rainfall is only 392mm but with a strong coastal influence with cool nights that provide a slightly extended growing season for that amount of rain.
See our “Contact” page to view a map.
The house and sheds are clearly visible from the road, yet well set back with the driveway crossing the mainly dry creek bed.
The location of the stud can sometimes be confused with the small Inverbrackie township alongside the Army barracks near Woodside. This was where the Arney family farmed in the early 1900’s for several years.
Repeat clients travel large distances to purchase rams, often driving past other Border Leicester ram sources. These clients know that it is worth the drive to get the best quality rams they can find. | 2019-04-20T19:05:13 | https://inverbrackie.com/the-stud/our-location/ |
And I wonder: What if hyperbaric medicine had a song! I see myself strumming my guitar and lamenting in days to come, "where have all the chambers gone?" Despite the rapid growth of wound and hyperbaric centers across the U.S., clinical research in the field has been sparse. The citations for many of our approved indications are decades old. There are few large cooperative group studies. At our wound care meetings the lecture titles read, "Hyperbaric Medicine: Hype or Evidence," or some such. If I have to listen to one more notional spate of academic bluster, I am certain that I will be overtaken by an uncontrollable and public emesis.
Just as important, the financial viability of our burgeoning specialty depends on revenue from HBO services. Even with frequent challenges to hyperbaric reimbursement, we have failed to rally our forces. The enemy is at the gate but to paraphrase Seeger, the soldiers have not gone off to war. It’s too late—we’ve no weapons!
In stark contrast, wound healing clinical trials abound. The primary reason stems from robust support from industry. As a result, we decry HBO clinical research for a lack of funding; therefore, we rely on ancient evidence. Clearly, this is not a viable long-term strategy to preserve our careers.
This first blog of 2015 is my rallying cry to the HBO community. Let's put aside competitive and academic differences and embark on clinical trials and registries in hyperbaric medicine this year. There will be little or no funding for these protocols, but we must generate data if we are going to advance the science and preserve our future. It is my fervent hope that we never reach the last line of Pete Seeger’s song, "Oh when will they ever learn."
For information on HBO cooperative trials getting underway in 2015 please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

In 2013 Dr. Serena was elected vice president of the American Professional Wound Care Association (APWCA).

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- People in Tallahassee honored the life and legacy of slain rapper Nipsey Hussle on Friday night.
Management at the clothing store A.P.B. in Collegetown hosted roughly thirty people at an intimate gathering.
"He has just become one of the most influential people, not just in hip-hop, but in America right now," said Lunden Austin, who organized the vigil.
Austin said he was inspired after hearing the letter that former President Barack Obama wrote in Hussle's honor and that was read during his Los Angeles celebration of life on Thursday. Austin said he wanted to make sure that Tallahassee locals, who did not have the opportunity to make the West Coast memorial, had their own chance to honor the Grammy-nominated artist.
"He was just a good spirit, and he brought positive energy," said Lance Farmer. "He proved that you can come from some place, but you can also grow and become something greater."
The local vigil included ten seconds of silence, candles lit in his memory and a conversation aimed at ensuring the rapper's legacy lives on.
"Nipsey was for the community. Not just for his community, but the world," said Nathaniel Hicks, who attended the vigil.
Hussle was gunned down in front of his clothing store, which he owned in the gang-ridden L.A. neighborhood he had grown up in.
"He was just about giving back and staying in his community and giving back and staying true to his roots," Lunden said.
In the aftermath of his death, Hussle has continued to inspire.
"I have plans to go ahead and start a shoe store on the south side of town," said Brandon McGhee.
McGhee said he would start the business as a tribute to Nipsey. | 2019-04-20T22:24:17 | https://www.wctv.tv/content/news/Local-vigil-held-in-memory-of-slain-rapper-Nipsey-Hussle-508525681.html |

This Sunday I am going for High Tea at the Beautiful and Historic Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
I have been to this hotel many times in my life (staying there a couple of times with my family before I moved to Toronto) and every time I’m blown away by its grandeur. It truly is a sight to see when visiting Toronto, a vintage lovers dream.
The Royal York opened it’s doors on June 11, 1929. It was the tallest building in the British Commonwealth and quickly set the hospitality standard of the day. The magnificent hotel became known as a city within a city, rising in 28 floors of architectural splendor and replete with mechanical genius and opulence never before seen in Toronto.
It boasted 1,048 rooms – each with radios, private showers and bathtubs. The 1.5 acres of public rooms included a 12-bed hospital, 12,000-book library and ten ornate passenger elevators. The Concert Hall featured a full stage and mammoth pipe organ weighing 50 tons, which surpassed anything else in Canada with 300 miles of copper wire. There was a glass-enclosed roof garden, the largest hotel kitchen in Canada with a bakery that could produce over 15,000 French rolls a day, a 66-ft.long switchboard manned by 35 telephone operators, its own bank and golf course (now known as St. George Golf & Country) (Source).
Thank you to the Fairmont Royal York for finding this AMAZING sketch of the fashions wore during the opening Gala Ball on June 11, 1929.
I will take…all the outfits!
Below is a sketch of the Royal York Hotel ballroom, clearly in the year that it opened from the outfits I see.
When the Royal York hotel opened its doors on June 11, 1929, it brought about a new social era, attracting a true “who’s who” list of royalty, celebrities, dignitaries and leisure travellers to the city of Toronto. On opening night, the Royal York hosted four grand balls where guests dined and danced until the wee hours of the morning. It set a new standard in luxury, elegance and entertainment.
The Ballroom looks exactly like it did when it first opened-Stunning!
The Hotel did everything top-notch. Look how stylish the Bartenders look in the 1940s?
I wonder what they are making, it looks delightful whatever it is.
What a Buffet! Can you see the Ice Sculpture Deer in the background? I love fun details like that.
Image of the 66 foot long telephone switchboard that required 35 operators to run it.
Of course a hotel on this grand of scale also had to have amazing entertainment.
The Imperial Room was once the most sought after show room in North America, when it opened in the hotel in 1929 it was the city’s newest and most elegant dining and dancing establishment. It defined the Toronto social scene as the meeting site of high society functions and big band shows. The stage of the Imperial Room has seen headlining acts such as Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald and Bob Hope.
The early bands often were employed by hotels, and many bore their employers’ names, eg, in Montreal, the Windsor Hotel Orchestra and Andy Tipaldi and his Ritz-Carlton Orchestra. The largest hotels in Canada had successions of orchestras which, by the 1950s and 1960s, also came to be used as showbands to accompany individual performers. Leaders at the Royal York Hotel (Toronto) have included Charles Bodley, Fred Culley, Rex Battle, Don Romanelli, Billy Bissett, Horace Lapp, Stanley St. John,Moxie Whitney, and Howard Cable (Source).
The band below is clearly the house band of the Royal York as the signs say “RY”. What kind of music do you think they are playing if the first row is all Violins?
Guests from all walks of life stayed at the hotel, like Bob Hope, Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly (swoon) and even….Queen Elizabeth II (seen below).
Here is an adorable image of an Ice Follies performer in the 1940s who was staying there. How cute is that outfit??
Royal York also had various advertising campaigns over the years. Here are some great vintage ads.
I adore this cute early 1960s ad (I think) for their meeting rooms. Reminds me of a Mad Men episode.
Looking to get married? The Royal York I will do the job nicely.
This ad is clearly from the same illustrator as above, love it.
The Royal York has even hosted fun events like this Direct Broadcast party of the Grey Cup (superbowl of Canada) in November 1956.
Many clubs and companies hosted events at the Hotel over the years, like The Electric Club from the 1930s-50s. Who apparently liked their menus to have pretty girls in swimsuits on the front (and lassie).
After looking thru all these photos, reading stories on the Royal York I’m thrilled the Fairmont and Toronto has seen value in keeping it standing after all these years because this truly is a fantastic piece of Toronto History.
So Friends..have you been to the RY? Or do you have a favorite vintage hotel? Do Tell!
Those outfits were tailor-made for a tall lady like yourself!
The wedding card is so cute, I wish I could actually own it.
I love the RY and you will looove having High Tea there! I could die for that Ice Follies pictures…the outfit is the cutest!
Ooooh, your history filled posts are always huge favourites with me. Awesome look back at this iconic, well known Toronto landmark. I always loved passing it when we lived in the GTA, but can’t claim to have been overly well versed in the particulars of its storied history – until now. Thank you for the wonderful, informative lesson, dear gal.
Thanks so much Jessica, the history posts are one of my favorite to put together because I always learn something new. Something I did not post (and I’m going to edit it) is that the Royal York actually was the tallest building in toronto for 35 years after it was built. Hard to imagine looking at the skyline today.
What a fantastic hotel! I always enjoy a journey back in time. Thanks so much for sharing! | 2019-04-19T04:49:57 | https://vintageinn.wordpress.com/2014/10/22/vintage-glamour-the-historic-royal-york-hotel-toronto-canada/ |
By default, PostgreSQL will not perform any verification of the server certificate. This means that it is possible to spoof the server identity (for example by modifying a DNS record or by taking over the server IP address) without the client knowing. In order to prevent spoofing, the client must be able to verify the server's identity via a chain of trust. A chain of trust is established by placing a root (self-signed) certificate authority (CA) certificate on one computer and a leaf certificate signed by the root certificate on another computer. It is also possible to use an "intermediate" certificate which is signed by the root certificate and signs leaf certificates.
Note: For backwards compatibility with earlier versions of PostgreSQL, if a root CA file exists, the behavior of sslmode=require will be the same as that of verify-ca, meaning the server certificate is validated against the CA. Relying on this behavior is discouraged, and applications that need certificate validation should always use verify-ca or verify-full.
The first certificate in postgresql.crt must be the client's certificate because it must match the client's private key. "Intermediate" certificates can be optionally appended to the file — doing so avoids requiring storage of intermediate certificates on the server's root.crt file.
All SSL options carry overhead in the form of encryption and key-exchange, so there is a trade-off that has to be made between performance and security. Table 32-1 illustrates the risks the different sslmode values protect against, and what statement they make about security and overhead.
Table 32-2 summarizes the files that are relevant to the SSL setup on the client. | 2019-04-26T09:41:06 | https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/libpq-ssl.html |

called Crawford-TEM-Cell or Transverse ElectroMagnetic cell) for E- and H-field probe calibration and immunity testing of components.
The TEMZ 5233 complies to the requirements of ISO 11452-3, IEEE 1309 and EN 61000-4-20.
The TEM – Measuring Cell TEM -2000 permits the measurement of the screening attenuation of electrical conducting plastics, conducting laminated plastics, screening materials and braids.
Weight Approx. 40Kg Approx. 20Kg. Approx. 4.8Kg. Approx. 1.6Kg.
* can be equipped with a test set-up for IC or PCB according to SAE J1752-3.
These open TEM cells (tri-plate cells) are well suited for immunity testing of small objects according to European (CE) and automotive standards (SAE J1113-25) or for biological experiments. The advantage of these TEM cells is that they are open and it is very easy to control the functions of the equipment under test. The applications are for instance the immunity testing of watches, pagers, telephones or PCB's. In comparison with other closed TEM cells, the price is low. The field decreases rapidly outside the open TEM cells (approx. 33 dB at 1 meter) and it is therefore possible to use an open TEM cell in ordinary facilities.
Another very interesting application is the calibration of field probes because the field inside the TEM cell is known with high precision. TEM cells are the most precise structures for field calibrations.
Same RF features as the LaplaCell300/2 below, but with eight times the EUT test volume.
EUT Size: 23.64" x 23.64" x 23.64"
Usable EUT Test Volume: 30.7" x 32.3" x 34.2"
This is the view of the rear of an LC600/2.
On the left is the filter block access door, on the right is the main access to the EUT volume.
The cell is shown here with its main access door open.
The cell provides the core of a totally integrated system which will deliver a complete, PC controlled Emissions and Immunity test package.
The cell is a stainless steel fabrication with continuously welded joints all round, giving a totally screened enclosure which is completely maintenance free and will not degrade with time.
The main body of the cell is made from 18swg sheet giving a very strong unit but with an overall weight of only 100kg.
The EUT usable area is contained within a Polypropylene enclosure.
All calibration & correction factor data for Emissions & Immunity provided to you.
EUT Size: 11.8" x 11.8" x 11.8"
Usable EUT Test Volume: 20.0" x 18.9" x 16.1"

IEC61000-4-3 sets the requirements for RF immunity testing. It specifies fields of up to 10V/m over the range 80MHz to 1GHz and provides minimum performance requirements. The LaplaCell range fully meets these requirements and when used in conjunction with the Laplace synthesizer and power amplifier, provides a complete integrated solution .
EN, FCC, As/NZ, and CISPR standards all require the use of an OATS (Open Area Test Site) for the measurement of emissions. This is a demanding requirement in terms of space, resources, calibration and expertise. The LaplaCell range provides an ideal alternative solution, delivering equivalent OATS performance without OATS problems.
Uniformity: The balanced septum design ensures good uniformity, even when compared with the "industry standard" GTEM type.
The above views make this obvious.
Impedance: The aim of a test cell is to emulate an OATS test. Free space impedance as applies to OATS sites is 377 ohm. Conventional test cells are 50 ohm systems. The unique design of the LaplaCell matches the incoming 50 ohm impedance to around 200 ohm inside the cell, a much closer match to free space impedance. | 2019-04-25T16:35:05 | https://www.ramayes.com/TEM_Cell.htm |

The official image for the Year of Youth was unveiled at the Australian Catholic Youth Festival in Sydney last December.
The Catholic Bishops Year of Youth was launched in local communities around Australia on the first Sunday of Advent, Sunday, 3 December, 2017 and the national launch took place with the Australian Catholic Youth Festival in Sydney from 7-9 December.
The Year of Youth image is titled 'Christ our Joy' and was painted by artist, Amunda Gorey in Alice Springs.
The image, which will be central to the celebration and prayerful discernment of local Australian communities throughout the Year of Youth.
“The image tells the story of young people in the current landscape of our Australian Church as they journey toward Christ. It is a story of rich diversity and great joy,” said Malcolm Hart, Director of the Australian Catholic Bishop Conference’s Office for Youth.
Ms Gorey was identified by the Australian Catholic Youth Council for her use of vibrant colour which depicts youthfulness and the joy that is central to the spiritual focus of the Year of Youth. Her previous work has also shown a depth of spirituality that is authentic to our Australian tradition.
Christ our Joy is rich in symbolism, tradition and meaning. It depicts the diversity of young people through the use of varied colour, shaped and sized dots. Some are gathered in communities, others more isolated. Some are closer to God or the cross, others further away. The central figures are Jesus and Mary against a cross. They point to the Resurrection as the source of our Joy. Jesus extends a hand toward his mother Mary, and with her to the Church; with his other hand he points them all to his Father-God.
“Everyone will see, feel and sense the painting differently. Each is valued as our stories and experiences are different,” said Ms Gorey. | 2019-04-19T20:20:56 | https://www.bbcatholic.org.au/news-events/latest-news/christ-our-joy-year-of-youth-image |

IUPUI student Ryan Hughey, in the teacher education program in the IU School of Education at IUPUI, will appear on tonight's episode of "Jeopardy!"
Hughey is tight-lipped about the outcome of the episode. But he will say it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"I have been watching 'Jeopardy!' with my family since I was a little kid," Hughey said. "Getting the chance to go out to Los Angeles, meet Alex and compete really is a dream come true for me. We had a great time out there filming, and now I have bragging rights whenever I go out to play trivia with my friends and family -- not many people can say they've been on the show."
Tune in to WTHR at 7:30 p.m. tonight to see Ryan compete.
Beginning Oct. 19, Inside IUPUI will publish on Thursdays instead of Tuesdays. It will still arrive in your inbox weekly during the school year; the only change is the day of the week it will be published.
"With all of the wonderful things happening on campus through the week and the weekends, moving Inside IUPUI from Tuesday to Thursday allows us to better plan and prepare all of those great stories for the IUPUI community," said Amber Denney, assistant director of strategic communications at IUPUI. "Publishing Inside IUPUI on Thursdays will give all of us something great to look forward to near the end of the workweek."
IUPUI is hosting a special screening of the WFYI documentary "Waves of Fortune," about historical sites along China's Silk Road.

A reception honoring the filmmakers will follow at 1 p.m. at the Confucius Institute in Cavanaugh Hall 129. This screening is presented by WFYI Public Media and co-hosted by IUPUI Office of International Affairs and the Confucius Institute at IUPUI.
"Waves of Fortune: China's Maritime Silk Road" will air on WFYI 1 at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 12, with production by Sandy Roob, videography and editing by Vinnie Manganello, and logistical planning and translation by Dr. Zao Cheng Xu.
The Division of Undergraduate Education is hosting Donuts with the Dean in Taylor Hall Room 104 from 10 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10. The event will be an informal gathering for undergraduates to meet the division's dean and associate vice chancellor for undergraduate education, James "Jay" Gladden. Students can receive a free donut and will be able to ask the dean questions. Additionally, this event will provide an opportunity for students to voice opinions and offer suggestions regarding IUPUI, the division and the division's student-support unit, University College.
Donuts with the Dean is just one of the efforts that the Division of Undergraduate Education is making this year to welcome students and receive their input regarding the campus and the division.

All was going well apart from a niggling problem with images not displaying on the site itself (anonymously) or logged into the WP dashboard. Inspecting the image HTML in Chrome allowed me to extract the full problem URL and I found I could load the image successfully in its own window. Chrome also allowed flagged the 404 response for images when loaded through the Wordpress page. Weird.
Apart from images I uploaded to the Media library, other images being served locally from my Wordpress installation (e.g. theme thumbnails) were also failing to load.
I found that by changing the site address (again in WP > Settings > General) to http:// (not https://) the images would display so I came to believe the problem was somehow related to SSL. Interestingly, after changing this setting, the images appeared when I browsed to either the http:// or https:// site. Images on the http:// site using absolute image references to the https:// site also worked.
After a bit of head scratching and a bit of searching around (this problem doesn't seem to be particularly common), I came across this page which suggests hotlink protection can cause problems for the SSL protocol. Apparently "HTTPS is configured correctly when resources that are available via HTTP are also available via HTTPS." As far I could tell, my images were available through both HTTP and HTTPS but I had enabled hotlink protection on the site before installing Wordpress.
Sure enough, disabling hotlink protection solved the problem. | 2019-04-18T22:23:10 | http://blog.mediawhole.com/2015/05/wordpress-ssl-causes-404-for-images.html |

Until community happened. My mother’s community, anchored by the Inwood Baptist Church off Lake Wheeler Road in south Raleigh, gathered around my family like a shield, and then they got to work.
Church members donated land, tradesmen donated labor and other community members donated all the material it would take to build a small three-bedroom, one-bath home for the family. The work didn’t have a fancy name like Habitat for Humanity. There was no Jimmy Carter. It was just friends and family and community coming together to help a mother and her children in need.
And, it was completely free. My grandmother was able to keep her kids together, and get most of them through some form of higher education and on to better lives.
If you look around at studies and surveys, or just ask around to friends, we don’t live in communities like that anymore. Recent polls have found that only 31 percent of us think “most people can be trusted,” only 26 percent have volunteered for anything in the past year and only 8 percent of us had worked on a community project in the past year.
Lately, I think about my grandmother and her community a lot as I help the place I work, the Institute for Emerging Issues at N.C. State, get ready for our upcoming Emerging Issues Forum, ReCONNECT to Community, which will focus on civic engagement.
On Sept. 17 in Asheville and on UNC-TV’s North Carolina Channel, we’ll bring together some of the nation’s and the state’s leading thinkers and doers on rebuilding community. We’ll hear from New York Times columnist David Brooks and top elected officials. But we’ll also hear from communities across the state that are making real progress in re-energizing civic engagement.
Some people have asked us: what’s the return on investment on that? I don’t know that you can put a dollar figure on it, but let me tell you about the generational ripple effects such a “reconnection to community” has had on my family.
I had an aunt who grew up to run a factory in China, and my mother served as a laboratory director at Rex Hospital by the end of her career. My brother works as a computer programmer, I just had a cousin graduate from East Carolina University with honors and I’m sitting here writing this column.
However, it’s not just about job titles or economic opportunity; it’s about the way my family’s lives have been and will be richer and full of more options for generations to come because of the decision that one community made so long ago. It is the way my family members are in better positions to be the helpers for others in need.
That is the power of community. We lift ourselves up when we lift everybody up and we can’t do that if we’re not talking and connecting with each other.
It’s not 1953 anymore and it might not be so easy to know most of our neighbors, but we can learn new ways to know a lot of them, and our lives and communities will be richer for it.

Whatever you want to say to your customers, there are a million ways to say it. To include emojis or not to include emojis? To crack a joke or not to crack a joke? To use corporate lingo or not? These are questions that lie at the heart of a company’s tone and voice. In order to effectively communicate and build lasting relationships with customers, you need to nail down what you want to say and how you want to say it.
Tone and voice go hand in hand, but they are slightly different. Put simply, your brand’s voice is your brand’s personality. Smart. Funny. Hip. Satirical. Your brand’s tone, on the other hand, is the application of your brand’s voice on certain channels, with certain audiences, for certain situations. For example, if your brand’s voice is funny, much of your communication will include humour. However, when you’re emailing a notice about a product malfunction, your tone of that email should be slightly more serious, while still keeping your brand’s casual style.
In order to connect with your customers, you need to know who your customers are and where they’re interacting with your brand. For example, if your a retail brand and most of your social media audience is generation Z, then perhaps a more casual or playful tone would be a better fit than something overly formal.
@ManhattanMiniStorage knows its NYC audience well — clever, professional, and short on space.
Your brand’s tone and voice should be purposeful. Gather your company’s decision-makers and answer some self-reflective questions to nail down your voice.
How do you want your brand to make people feel?
What do you want consumers to do when they interact with your brand?
What are three words that describe your brand?
What brands are you drawn to? Why?
What brands do you dislike? Why?
Look at how your competition interacts with customers to get an idea of what’s appropriate for your customer base. Or, it may inspire you to stand out and give your consumers a new type of conversation.
@Charmin turns the mundane topic of toilet paper into humorous conversations with clever Tweets.
Once you’ve determined your brand’s voice and various tones, lay it out in a guide for your marketing team. As your company grows, various people will be writing to represent your brand. It’s important they have clear guidelines and standards so your brand has a consistent tone and voice, regardless of the writer.
With the right tone and voice, you’ll be able to better engage your customers and build long-term loyalty in your brand. | 2019-04-19T04:23:14 | https://business.twitter.com/en/blog/nail-down-brand-tone-voice.html |
How to edit data within Tableau when the original data source is missing?
There have been instances where I have received Tableau files from a colleague and I'd like to edit the data in the file to change up the visualizations. Unfortunately, I don't have the original data source file (e.g., csv or xls).
A workaround that I've used (that only occasionally works): the only way I've been able to "edit" the data is by copying it into a new excel sheet and importing that data back into the Tableau file. This isn't an ideal situation and is definitely just a workaround for now.
Any insight on how to edit data within a Tableau file when the data source is missing? Is it possible?
1. Re: How to edit data within Tableau when the original data source is missing?
I assume your colleague is sending you a packaged workbook (.twbx) file? If so, it's possible that you might have a copy of the original Excel or text file and not even know it! .twbx files are really just zip files that contain the workbook (.twb) and the data (often as a .tde extract, but if your collegue used a live connection to Excel or csv it might contain a copy of the file). So, just rename the .twbx to .zip and then see what it contains.
Now, it's quite possible that your colleague extracted the data and it will just contain the .tde file. If so, then there isn't really a good option for editing the data in Tableau (it is a data visualization tool afterall, not a data editing tool). If you just want to edit values, you could possibly use calculated fields. But likely, your work-around is probably the best option (or see if you can convince your colleague to use live connections).
Hope that helps! Welcome to the forums!
2. Re: How to edit data within Tableau when the original data source is missing?
What do you mean by "...to change up the visualizations."? Because I'm wondering if you can use calculated fields as a way to create the necessary fields you need.
If the source file is on a network drive then have the author use URL naming of data sources: \\corp\shared\personal\Ann\my_excel_data.xls instead of M:\personal\Ann\my_excel_data.xls . | 2019-04-22T23:59:02 | https://community.tableau.com/thread/129720 |
We are headed to the hills this weekend with a route that will be about 68 miles (approx 5800ft of elevation gain) and contain some downhill opportunities that we haven’t seen in awhile: the back side of Wood, back side of PID, and Newport Ave (from top of Jamboree). You might be asking why we are doing hills when it will be hot. The answer is simple, ALC has hot days too. | 2019-04-19T21:08:55 | https://www.aidslifecycle.org/event/socal-central-oc-hills/ |
