It's been far too long since my last Top 10 list (check out old ones here and here and here). With the founding premise of Next Stop Baby shifting to the new premise of Next Stop (Another) Baby, it seemed fitting to list signs that one is ready to add "another" to the mix. In case you're not sure that you're ready for baby number two, here are a few signs that you may be closer than you think.
1. As your toddler is throwing scrambled eggs, screaming "MAMA!!!" at a deafening volume and kicking the underside of the restaurant table, you whisper to yourself with genuine joy, "Your little brother or sister is gonna think you're so funny."
2. You learned to knit and are geared up for a baby blanket project. Maybe even a hat.
3. When your toddler passes out in your arms (exhausted from a raging tantrum that was instigated when you refused to let him stick keys into an electrical outlet), rather than transfer him to the crib, you slowly lay down on the couch and gently scoot his body so that he sleeps on your chest.
4. You've successfully taught your toddler to change a doll's diaper. A little tweaking and she could handle a one month old.
6. When talking about the sleep deprivation you suffered during the first three months with your first born, you say, "It really wasn't that bad" and you believe it. (Your first born didn't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time until she was 5 months old and didn't sleep through the night until 1 year).
7. Your memory of delivering your first born is spotty with a few happy, painless, foggy details.
8. You finally broke down and upgraded to a mini-van.
9. Those size 5 diapers are huge. You miss the little ones.
10. That "ready" feeling you had the first time around - you feel it again.

There's nothing better than a baby sleeping on your chest.
#3 & #10- definitely me. But I swear I'll never drive a minivan...NEVER!

Phnom Penh is where the Cambodians live, work, play and pray. Its attractions are low key, forming part of the fabric of local life. The city sits at the confluence of the three great rivers of Indochina—the Mekong, Tonle Sap and the Bassac—and is the country’s commercial and political capital. It is crowded, chaotic and most importantly necessary in order to understand the everyday real Cambodia.
The city’s most important and popular cultural site is undoubtedly its Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda near the riverfront. Visitors are only allowed to visit the Pagoda and its compound. Photography is not permitted within the Pagoda itself. The Royal Palace was built in 1866 under the French Protectorate and King Norodom. Many of the buildings in the complex were added over the following decades.
The Silver Pagoda, so named because its floor is covered with over 5,000 silver tiles weighing 1kg each, is also known as Wat Preah Keo or Pagoda of the Emerald Buddha. The Pagoda was preserved by the Khmer Rouge to demonstrate to the international community its concern for the conservation of Cambodia’s cultural riches. Although around 60 percent of the Pagoda’s contents were destroyed under Pol Pot, what remains is still spectacular. The Emerald Buddha, said to be made of Baccarat crystal, sits on a gilt pedestal high atop the dais inside. In front of the dais stands a life-size gold Buddha decorated with 9,584 diamonds, the largest of which weighs 25 carats. Made in the palace workshops in 1907, the effigy weighs 90kg. The whole hall is further filled with countless statues and figurines of Buddha in gold and silver, their smiling serene faces echoing and reflecting each other. The sacredness within the walls literally tangible.
Today was my last afternoon in Phnom Penh and I felt like a local. I know the roads by now, how to haggle with the tuk-tuk drivers, and carry our Khmer prayer rituals at the wats.
Why is it that just when a place starts to feel like home, it is time to leave? I’m not saying I love Phnom Penh or that it is the most beautiful city in the world. But it is now familiar and understandable, and thus dear. The chaotic traffic, the garbage heaps, young couples holding hands by the riverside as they gaze into their dreams, youth playing local games in the open spaces, vendors selling dead green chicks still in their shells, and prayers being offered to the gods at every corner and street.
I spent much of my last afternoon at the National Museum. It is a beautiful place. Calm and serene. The red-roofed terra-cotta structure in traditional design (built in 1917-1920) is home to the world’s finest collection of Khmer sculpture and comprises four courtyards facing a garden. Over 5,000 objects are on display including a number of Angkor era statues. What is really touching about the Museum is that it feels sanctified, and is even treated by the locals as sacrosanct. Incense sticks and flowers stand sentinel in front of most effigies, while museum visitors bow and pray to them. Kneeling in front of these art works seems to be the most natural thing to do. These effigies have been worshipped for centuries by the Cambodians. Being brought into a museum had not lessened their divinity.
My favorites include the stunningly beautiful eight armed statue of Vishnu (6th or 7th Century AD), a statue of Buddha (6th Century AD) and the meditative seated figure of Jayavarman VII (12 Century AD). In a little annex, scores of Buddhas fill a room with a prayer mat in front of them. It seemed sacrilege to just pass by without offering a prayer to them too.
After spending hours strolling amidst the sculptures at the Museum I wandered off to Wat Phnom where I wanted to pray in Khmer style for the last time. And ended up laughing and joking with the children thronging the courtyards, alternately begging and playing games amongst themselves.
Wat Phnom is where the Khmers prefer to pray for luck and has a charming story associated with it. Legend has it that the city of Phnom Penh was founded when an old woman named Penh came upon four Buddha statues that had come to rest on the banks of the Mekong river. She housed these effigies on a nearby hill and the town that grew up here came to be known as Phnom Penh (Hill of Penh). The current temple was last rebuilt in 1926. The steps of the Wat are lined with land mine victims with amputated arms and legs. It is a gut wrenching sight. As one files past them to pray at the vihara (temple sanctuary), one asks oneself, “to whom?” But then that is Cambodia. Infinite suffering with infinite faith. Without questions. Without any questions at all.
Came evening and I dropped into one of the deep leather sofas at the FCC facing the riverfront. The FCC or Foreign Correspondents Club is a delightful place and I guess could be defined as the most “happening” place in Phnom Penh! The F as expats like to call it, is housed in a grand old colonial era building and its open balconies have the most gorgeous views of the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers.
Two weeks had just sped by. Yet it felt like such a long time. These past 14 days had been a completely different experience from any of my previous travels. The poverty, the pain, the simplicity of the people, the gloriousness of their art, the profoundness of their faith … and therefrom the realization that life was not measured by its tears, but by the moments our souls soar and touch the skies instead.

“The win marks yet another step forward in our company’s journey towards transforming the service experiences of customers and financial advisers,” says Regard Budler, Head: Product Solutions, Momentum Corporate.
“Smart Underwriting is an efficient, customer-centric digital process. The ‘at your finger tips’ Smart Underwriting technology platform enables customers to engage with the insurer through preferred everyday channels, on a real-time basis. It also helps to solve the industry-wide problem of under-insurance and reduce the staggering insurance shortfall,” says Budler.
The families of South Africa’s 14 million income earners face a combined insurance shortfall of R28.8 trillion, according to a 2016 Association of Savings and Investments South Africa (ASISA) study. One of the many reasons for this shocking figure is underwriting - the process used by insurers to gather the medical information necessary to assess an individual’s risk before granting or increasing cover.
The Smart Underwriting service uses a combination of SMS, email and a secure website, which the customer accesses with a secure one-time pin login and authentication process. Email communication keeps the financial adviser informed throughout the customer journey.
Smart Underwriting is Momentum Corporate’s third ‘smart’ service over the last two years, following Smart Exits and Smart Retirements. The Smart Exits solution won a Loeries gold award in 2017. | 2019-04-24T16:29:39 | https://www.momentum.co.za/for/you/media/loeries-awards |
Regent University is one of the best universities for Christian Studies. Although the university offers most career choices the religious studies program is outstanding. The class choices were vast and exceptional for those entering into the ministry of Jesus Christ. I learned from some of the best and brightest professors. Not only are the tops in their field, they help you absorb the information, not just for rote learning. What I have learned has equipped me with knowledge that will take me to the next level of learning in order that I may offer my giftedness to those who wish to learn the vastness of Christ and all that he offers those who follow him. Although I attended Regent University online it was no problem reaching out to the professors for help. There was usually less than a twenty four hour turnaround for answers to my questions. I also had the opportunity to message some of my instructor and the help was immediate. I would highly recommend Regent to anyone who wishes to further their education in any field of study. The university has excellent services and the campuses are nestled in to a beautiful area in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Not only are the campuses beautiful they are state of the art. Each hall is easily accessible to those with disabilities and staff there are always willing to go the extra mile for their students. I could not have asked for a better education than that at Regent.
I was recruited by them after inquiring about an online degree that allowed one to study abroad. I was assured that i was able to continue taking courses year round like the school I was currently attending ( as to not fall behind in my degree plan) I was assured that the online course schedule was nearly exactly the same as the current school. EVERY single on of these was inaccurate. I would have had to pay nearly 3xs tuition (campus) to study abroad, the financial advisor assigned to me completely forgot to budget in my summer classes, thus resulting in me falling an entire semester behind and the course schedules required me to log on nearly everyday, and the professors are not understanding. (which as an adult in a full time career was impossible.) Every 6 weeks or so i would receive a call about my financial aid not being completed and me owing money, or that they needed my transcripts (which i had to send 5 times in a matter of 6 months...seriously y'all NOT and exaggeration). Ultimately I transferred out in less than a year back to my previous school. I figured it was a fluke, bad staffing so getting ready for grad programs I figured I would try them out again, especially being a Christian school...they have been blowing up my phone excited for me to start just to tell me that I owe another school money and they can't accept me....even though they did for undergrad. Anyway just a forewarning online is NOT the way to go with them, and be ready to babysit your finances and coursework.
This school is a joke. They get you to sign up and don't tell you about the extra class that you have to take. I started attending Regents after recieving a Masters from a SUNY, all online. All schools now a days use pretty much the same things as it comes to black board and other online tools. However, Regents, if you have a masters or not, requires you to take this class that is a complete waste of time, especially if you are taking another Masters degree. I will not be graduating from this school, I will be looking for another.
This online Masters program is challenging, but very rewarding! The courses force you to study. They have the entire online program very well formatted and thought through. I work full time, so online is the best for me. Im so proud that I have graduated!
So far the classes have been okay. Some things I don't like is sometimes there is no constience. Example most online schools have all discussion boards due on a certain day to cause less confusion. At regent one class it may be due Wednesday and the other Friday. The price is a little higher compared to a lot of non profit schools. Most schools only charge one technology fee per school year not every semester. The technology fee is also outrageous at $300 a semester. Whereas most colleges are around $75-$100 per academic calender.
I applied to this school as a graduate student and was immediately contacted by an advisor. Initially, my advisor appeared to be very thorough, she called very often, and the feedback she gave was always positive. I submitted ALL the required documentations, essays, etc and she all but assured me that I would get in. There was a delay with one of my transcripts from my former college, they were late in sending it in. In the interim, my application was denied. I called the school to find out the exact reason for the denial, called the advisor for her trusted feedback but never heard from her or anyone else from the school again. I sent emails, but I was shunned and ignored. It's so obvious that they're only concerned with you .. if you could potententially make them money. They see you as potential PROFIT and nothing else. If you can't make them money, you're tossed to the side without getting as much as a response to your call or email. It's sad because they claim to represent Christ.
I attended Regent University through their online program offered using Blackboard. Having an option for proactive college studies that I could do at home during this time was an amazing opportunity for myself. Within my own state I did not have options at the time to attend a quality school towards a vocation in Christian Ministry, but Regent allowed me to still pursue that goal. The program itself was great, assignments and work are on the student's own time in 8 week long, accelerated classes, and the degree earned is the same as one could get through a residential, on-campus degree. I had very many great professors during my time, and what I learned (both in general education and for my Major) sculpted and shaped me in a tremendously great way. The costs of the university using this method of education were also much more affordable, around ten thousand a year. I highly recommend Regent University for any student seeking college education, without the ability to relocate to a post-secondary campus location. Now with my B.A. degree in Christian Ministry from Regent, I have been inspired to seek a Master of Divinity degree towards my vocation in Discipleship Ministry.
It is better to attend classes in person than using the online option through Regent University. There is no check and balances in regards to how teachers personalize humility. We are paying institutions to teach us. When you are face to face with a professor, it is very difficult to personalize humility, and often teacher find it a responsibility to get a student in the right direction. Whereas, online, there is no feeling of responsibility to do what is right since there is no moral obligation looking them dead in the eyes. 2 out of 4 teachers took advantage of this, and made their courses very difficult in completing.
I began the online Master's in Journalism at Regent in 2014. I found only about 2/3 of the classes have been beneficial, which for as inflexible and tight a degree it is, was incredibly discouraging. The Journalism Technology Tools class was at a first-year undergraduate level. The Internet Marketing and Story, Pop Culture, & Worldview courses were taught in an approach irrelevant to the degree. What perhaps was most discouraging was the amount of required time towards peer responses. The bar for Regent's program seems to be set very low. While I would spend time to respond to classmate's work, I'd often in return get, "U rite perty. You is done a good job!" Not that any of it mattered, as beyond mandatory responses, we weren't required to really interact or even follow up to responses. Its a sloppy attempt to facilitate a classroom dynamic when there is none. Throughout the courses, however, I did enjoy the rigor of many of the assignments. I was satisfied with the challenges some of the writing courses presented. However, the final year was a chore as I lost my two favorite professors, Dr. Michael Patrick and the late Dr. Bruce Swaffield. In the end, I was left with a degree that I felt I earned but was dissatisfied by the process. If I were to pursue another online degree, I'd look elsewhere.
it was very satisfying. Hard at times, but very worth the effort.

Not everyone is an elite athlete, but everybody still has a right to expect to look and feel their best, and to have a sense of well-being. Your fitness is the key!
When people talk about fitness, they generally mean cardio-vascular (aerobic) fitness. Most daily activities rely almost completely on the aerobic system, hence the importance of developing this system. Your level of aerobic fitness is determined by the amount of oxygen that your body can utilise during physical activity. By increasing your body’s ability to use oxygen, the fitter you become and therefore the more activities you can perform.
A variety of exercise is recommended for your aerobic activity. These exercises should involve large muscle groups and be rhythmical in nature. Examples include running, walking, cycling, boxing, dancing, etc.
It is necessary to consider your fitness level in determining your intensity of exercise. An intensity of 70% of maximum volume of oxygen (MVO²), for one person will be very different to that of another person. As a general rule, when commencing a new training program, gradually increase the volume and intensity of your exercise, e.g. walk → jog → run.
To gain optimum benefit from your aerobic training program, it is recommended that you periodise your program, i.e. change the intensity and volume of your training program at regular intervals, e.g. monthly. This will cause your body to continually adapt to your training program and therefore gain maximum benefits. | 2019-04-25T04:55:46 | https://www.personalbestfitnessstudios.com.au/about/aerobic-cardio-vascular-training/ |
A long-term plan that secures the future of Rochester Airport has been approved by Medway Council.
The Rochester Airport Masterplan includes proposals for 1,000 jobs with the creation of a new hub for science and technology firms and much-improved facilities in this key location.
The approval of the masterplan comes after a comprehensive public consultation.
First established in 1933, the Rochester Airport site is owned by Medway Council and has been leased since to an airport operator – Rochester Airport Limited.
Proposals involve replacing many of the existing buildings and facilities on the airport that are now reaching the end of their useful life and a reconfiguration of the existing runways.
One of the grass runways on site will be closed and replaced with a new parallel grass and paved runway. The paved runway will allow a small aircraft to take off and climb to a higher altitude very quickly, reducing the impact of noise on surrounding homes.
The grass runway will allow the nationally recognised Medway Aircraft Preservation Society (MAPS) to continue to use the site for heritage aircraft and open days.
The new runway layout will allow 29 acres near to Rochester Airport Industrial Estate to be developed as a new hub for science or technology related firms – with the potential to eventually create up to 1,000 new skilled jobs.
There are no plans to develop Rochester Airport into a commercial airport.
Cllr Alan Jarrett, Deputy Leader of Medway Council and Portfolio Holder for Finance, said: “Rochester Airport is an important asset for Medway and securing its future will help contribute to the regeneration and economic development of Medway.
“We want to ensure the future of the airport by maximising its potential for jobs and tourism and that’s what the masterplan does.

Next place the lobsters into a pan of boiling salted water and allow to cook for 8 minutes, remove and place into iced water, immediately remove the shell and slice the meat up and reserve the claws for garnish.
Mix gently the chilled sliced lobster meat with the mayonnaise, crème fraiche, herbs, lemon juice and season to taste, keep till required.
For the bloody Mary sorbet combine all the ingredients in a bowl , like the drink it’s a personal preference to the seasoning, lemon juice and heat from the tabasco, for me I like that strong kick of flavour and this ends up as the replacement for the traditional Mary Rose sauce in the finished dish so bear this in mind.
For the pickled fennel bring all the ingredients apart from the fennel to the boil and then pour directly onto the thinly sliced fennel , cover and leave for a minimum of 1 hour to marinade, the longer the better if possible.
For the avocado puree place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth adjust the seasoning to taste .
Medway Council will set aside a row of seats at Full Council meetings for citizen journalists as it values the work they do scrutinising the authority.
The council’s Full Council meetings take place at the St George’s Centre in Chatham.
Each time they are held around six citizen journalists come along to live Tweet as the meeting happens before them.
To recognise the fact that citizen journalists play an important part in local democracy, Medway wishes to make it easier for them.
And now it will make the row available (usually at the front) to try and ensure they have a place.
The council has already Tweeted this message to announce this news and will ask citizen journalists on the day to tweet us to say they are coming – as spaces will be limited.
Cllr Alan Jarrett, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Finance, said: “We are very keen to engage with people and to help them play a part in local democracy.
“Our council meetings do get a number of people turning up in the public gallery including citizen journalists who spend the night Tweeting about what is being said.
As spaces are limited, Medway Council is asking those who wish to use the citizen journalists’ row on the night of Full Council meetings to please Tweet us @medway_council on the day.
The annual memorial service for Charles George Gordon is to take place at the Gordon Memorial Gardens on Friday 24 January, 2014 at 11am.
This year marks the 129th anniversary of his death at Khartoum and a small working party have devised a special service to commemorate this local hero.
The service is to be officiated by Rev Graham Herbert from Milton Church and attended by the Mayor of Gravesham, Cllr Derek Sales who along with pupils from Chantry School, members of the Royal Engineers Association and the president of Gravesend and Meopham Rotary Club, will be laying flowers placed at the foot of Gordon’s Memorial.
The Gravesend Borough Band with additional members from the Salvation Army will be providing musical accompaniment to the service and members of the Gads Hill School Combined Cadet Force will be in attendance as guard of honour.
British general Charles Gordon became a national hero for his exploits in China and his ill-fated defence of Khartoum against Sudanese rebels. Gordon lived and worked in Gravesend between 1865 and 1871 and during that time showed great generosity and kindness to the poor people of the borough. He was appointed to upgrade the various fortifications along the Thames which included the New Tavern Fort. He lived in Fort House in the grounds of the New Tavern Fort. The building was demolished following an explosion caused by a V2 in 1944.
Charles Gordon was born on 28 January 1833, the son of a senior army officer. He was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in 1852. He distinguished himself in the Crimean War (1853 – 1856) and in 1860 volunteered for the ‘Arrow’ war against the Chinese. In May 1862 Gordon’s corps of engineers was assigned to strengthen the European trading centre of Shanghai, which was threatened by the insurgents of the Taiping Rebellion. A year later he became commander of the 3,500-man peasant force raised to defend the city. During the next 18 months Gordon’s troops played an important role in suppressing the Taiping uprising.
He returned to England in January 1865, where an enthusiastic public had already dubbed him ‘Chinese Gordon’. In 1873 he was appointed governor of the province of Equatoria in the Sudan. Between April 1874 and December 1876 he mapped the upper Nile and established a line of stations along the river as far south as present day Uganda. He was then promoted to governor-general, where he asserted his authority, crushing rebellions and suppressing the slave trade. However, ill health forced him to resign and return to England in 1880 before travelling once more to places including India, China and South Africa.
In February 1884 Gordon returned to the Sudan to evacuate Egyptian forces from Khartoum, threatened by Sudanese rebels led by Muhammad Ahmad al-Mahdi. Khartoum came under siege the next month and on 26th January 1885 the rebels broke into the city, killing Gordon (against al-Mahdi’s instructions) and the other defenders. The British relief force arrived two days later.
The British public reacted to his death by acclaiming ‘Gordon of Khartoum’, who had had a strong Christian faith, a martyred warrior-saint and by blaming the government, particularly Gladstone, for failing to relieve the siege.
Confirmation that government will provide funds to buy a site at Chatham Docks for Medway’s new University Technical College (UTC) clears the way for the public to be consulted on proposals for the educational establishment.
The move follows the agreement by Minister for Schools, Lord Nash, that the Department for Education will release the finance for the college.
The consultation begins today ( 20 January 2014), and runs until 3 February. This will allow local people to put forward their views on the UTC and what they think about the suitability of the UTC Trust’s proposals for young people in Medway. They will be able to respond online, by post, by phone and by email (details below).
In addition, a series of events will be held in February where members of the public can turn up and discover more about the UTC, as well as share their views (details also below).
The UTC, which will specialise in engineering and construction, is due to open in September 2015.
It is sponsored by the University of Greenwich, Mid Kent College, Medway Council, BAE Systems, and other local employers and partners.
The UTC will provide a technically rich education for up to 600 students aged between 14 and 19, for 40 weeks of the year. The working day will typically be from 08.30 until 17:00 to reinforce the business approach to the UTC.
Professor Reed added: “An essential part of the development of the UTC is listening to the views of as wide range of people as possible, to ensure that Medway UTC fully meets the needs of local young people, their families, employers and others.
“The consultation provides everyone with a valuable opportunity to provide their views.
Cllr Rodney Chambers, the leader of Medway Council, said: “Medway has a rich history of construction and engineering, and a University Technical College specialising in these subjects will not only continue this tradition, but will also equip a new generation with first class technical skills that will help them pursue careers in these important sectors at all levels.
The UTC will be situated on a 5,000m2 single site, with all the facilities required to deliver a high quality technical and vocational education.
It will feature state of the art buildings that will combine business and workplace facilities and ethos within an academic environment.
A holocaust survivor will recall the horrors of fleeing Nazi Germany during a special event at Rochester Cathedral.
Susi Bechhofer, who wrote a moving book of her experience, is expected to talk about how she fled Germany at the age of three and and how it took her almost 50 years to learn that her mother had died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, in Poland, in the Second World War.
Susi’s account is part of an event to mark Holocaust Memorial Day at the cathedral on Monday, January 27, at 6pm.
Medway schools have been busy preparing for the event and there will be readings, poetry, drama, music, exhibits and prayers by pupils.
Pupils will also reflect on more recent genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia and Bosnia, focusing on the current problems in South Sudan.
In addition to the Memorial Day, there will be an exhibition of artwork at Rochester Guildhall produced by schools and Mid Kent College students.
A Peace Wall has also been created where individuals will be able to pledge what they can do to make the world a better place.
Members of the Medway Youth Parliament will be taking the Peace Wall to the Pentagon Centre in Chatham on January 25 and it will be at the cathedral on the day of the service, which this year has the theme of ‘Journeys’.
Holocaust Memorial Day is being supported by Medway Council, Rochester Cathedral, Medway Youth Parliament, Chatham Memorial Synagogue and Medway Inter Faith Action.
Paul Weller announces Forestry Commission gigs.
Paul Weller has confirmed five forest gigs, appearing as part of the Forestry Commission’s Forest Live concert programme in spectacular woodland locations across the country.
It’s been thirty years since Paul Weller first exploded onto the music scene, suited and booted, and armed with statement tunes in The Jam. Blending the best of British with his love of Motown, Weller crafted a new landscape in the UK music scene thanks to an impressive portfolio of work including amongst others, Stanley Road, Illumination, 22 Dreams and 2013’s Sonik Kicks all hitting Number One. A significant figure in popular music for the past three generations, he remains a cultural icon.
Following on from two sold out Forest Live dates last summer, Paul said of the 2014 shows, “It’s a favourite summer jaunt for me so I look forward to performing in a few of the forests that I haven’t played in a good while”. | 2019-04-22T12:28:49 | https://peninsulatimes.wordpress.com/2014/01/ |
Wedding anniversary is a special time for all married couples. It is a time to celebrate the anniversary of their reunion. Everyone wants to use this chance to show the other person how much they love them. One of the best ways you can express how much you adore your partner is by presenting them with a wedding anniversary gift. When it comes to looking for golden anniversary gifts, you are going to come across a lot of things which include creative, traditional and even sentimental gift ideas. Traditional gifts include stuffed animals, photographs and jewelers. Below are ideal present for a wife.
You can get an artistic gift basket and then fill it with the items that she loves. You can present your wife with a box of chocolates or even a bunch of beautiful flowers. Fill the basket with a customary anniversary flowers. A bouquet of red rose is a good choice. An alternative would be to pack the basket with DVD of romantic songs, bath set, make up set, voucher for shopping at her best store and movie tickets. Decorate the basket with attractive papers. If she loves reading, you can buy her books of her best author. She is going to appreciate you for all the effort that you will have put in collecting the items.
This is one of the oldest anniversary gift idea. When it comes to a photo frame, you can create your own personalized gift by including your best memories. Have a photo frame with the pictures of the both of you. Present a booklet with all memorable activities of you and your partner. This is the best way to re live those moments again.
Write your loved one a love letter. Poetry or a love letter is one of the best thing you can do for the anniversary. This is how you can show or express your true feelings for her. Include the things that you have cherished for the duration you have been together and she will be happy. Write the letter with colorful glitters and decorate it with pictures. You can then roll down the letter and pack it with a gift paper. An alternative would be to write her a love song and sing it to her.
If it is your first anniversary, you should opt for a clock. This is the modern equivalent of the traditional first gift. There are different types of clocks available. You can choose to personalize your clock by engraving a special message. Opt to engrave the anniversary date as it will memorialize your wedding day.
If your loved one likes arts and crafts and you want to value her interests, you can opt for an origami flower. It is not an easy thing to get perfect the very first time. You have to spend some time to get the practice. If you select based on your skill level, it is going to be easy for you. As a beginner, making origami blossoms is not hard. If you want to be creative, you can try to make a lily. Your wife is going to be impressed by your efforts and the time that you will have spent on this gift.
Women love jewelry. There is not better gift to give a woman than nice jewelry. The anniversary gift is not going to be fulfilled if you do not have this one in it. Things such as bracelets, necklace and earnings are the best gifts that will remind her of you. You can also choose to give her a voucher of her best shop to buy the jewelry that she likes. Keep in mind that a ring is a symbol of engagement and marriage hence try and avoid presenting this to her as the anniversary gift. Another idea would be to buy a pendant chain and then personalize it with her name.
Besides buying gifts, you can treat her to a date. This is going to be unforgettable. Plan a romantic dinner at her favorite restaurant or even arrange a tour to the place that she has always wanted to visit. Book tickets for a concert or even an event that she would enjoy. Present her with a movie ticket of her best actor or actress. | 2019-04-18T11:00:35 | http://sidelined.com.au/the-best-wedding-anniversary-gift/ |
Sweet and Sassy was a location of the chain salon and spa for young girls located on Monroe Avenue in the Pittsford Colony Plaza.
2009-03-15 17:57:50 We went to Cheesecake Factory yesterday and saw this crazy pink stretch-limo in the parking lot across the street. The sign on the side said "Party Girls on the Go". I took a photo and posted it in my Fun Stuff Album (also uploaded above), because it was juxtaposed against the Rochester Athletic Club for Women - thought that was kind of humorous - girls party and women workout. | 2019-04-18T14:20:43 | https://rocwiki.org/Sweet_and_Sassy |
Ask a Candid Boss: How Should I Talk to My Boss About Moving Into a Leadership Role?
How can I approach my current leader to see if I would be considered for a formal leadership role in the future? How do I start that conversation in a way that makes me seem qualified—and not just pushy or impatient?
I know that this conversation can seem nerve-wracking, but remember that it’s also exciting! You’re thinking about taking the next step in your career and a good manager will be equally enthusiastic about your hunger for growth.
When starting this conversation, the key thing is to not only explain the fact that you’re interested in management, but also why you’re interested.
If you can prove that you understand what the job is, why you would enjoy it, provide evidence that you would be good at it, and explain you can have more impact for the team as a manager than you do in your current role, your promotion to leadership will actually solve problems for your boss—not create them (that is, assuming there’s a role available to promote you to).
But before you get into that, you need to ask yourself: Do you want to be a manager for the sake of a more prestigious title, or do you really want to do the things that managers do?
You’ll be persuasive if you can show that you understand what managers are actually responsible for, and that you are eager to do those things yourself. But if all you really want is more control, more money, or just the bragging rights, your boss will quickly pick up on your intentions and you’ll risk undermining your credibility.
Remember, managers have a lot on their plate—and those duties aren’t always fun. As a leader, you’ll actively solicit criticism from your team members. You’ll give formal performance reviews. You’ll be held accountable for other people’s results—which means you’ll often have accountability without control.
For some people, all of that sounds exciting and meaningful. For others, that sounds like a living hell.
Management is important, but it’s certainly not the only path to major impact. It’s a rewarding route, but it’s also a hard one—so make sure the day-to-day of the job sounds appealing to you before approaching your boss to discuss moving up in the ranks. Do that, and you’re far more likely to have a great conversation.

Directed immune cell migration plays important roles in immunosurveillance and immune responses. Understanding the mechanisms of immune cell migration is important for the biology of immune cells with high relevance to immune cell trafficking mediated physiological processes and diseases. Immune cell migration can be directed by various guiding cues such as chemical concentration gradients (a process termed chemotaxis) and direct current electric fields (dcEF)(a process termed electrotaxis). Microfluidic devices that consist of small channels with micrometer dimensions have been increasingly developed for cell migration studies. These devices can precisely configure and flexibly manipulate chemical concentration gradients and electric fields, and thus provide powerful quantitative test beds for studying the complex guiding mechanisms for cell migration. In the research of this thesis, a PDMS-based and a glass-based microfluidic devices were developed for producing controlled dcEF and these devices were used to analyze electrotaxis of activated human blood T cells. Using both devices, we have successfully demonstrated that activated human blood T cells migrate toward the cathode of the applied dcEF. Furthermore, a novel microfluidic device was developed to configure better controlled single or co-existing chemical gradients and dcEF to mimic the complex guiding environments in tissues and this device was used to investigate the competition of chemical gradients and dcEF in directing activated human blood T cell migration. | 2019-04-25T06:34:28 | https://mspace.lib.umanitoba.ca/xmlui/handle/1993/8093 |
hey pretties.. how are we? i'm spending a day off work cleaning my room and selling my old clothes on ebay... fun times!
i wore this the other day for lunch with james.. i am LOVING this baseball style top and any other sports style clothing at the moment. the fact that it has the rolling stones on it is just an added bonus :), i've been on the hunt for jeans this colour for ages, and i finally found these ones for just £15 in republic. i seem to wear all of my jeans rolled up slightly and i can't break the habit - i purposely bought these in a 34 inch leg so they were super long but i still rolled them up! oops. | 2019-04-25T08:15:14 | http://www.fashionablyace.com/2013/03/the-rolling-stones.html |
By now, you're probably just as obsessed with Stranger Things and IT actor Finn Wolfhard.
He's made a pretty huge and incredible name for himself, so naturally, the world is getting to know him a little more.
And in doing so, they're finding his doppelgänger... duh!
So, who's the lucky person to look just like him? None other than Lauren Mayberry from CHVRCHES.
What's even better about the whole situation is that Lauren posted a side by side image of herself and Finn on her Instagram, which had the text: "I'm convinced that the Stranger Things kid and the lead singer of CHVRCHES are the same person."
Yep. We're convinced these two are somehow related now. | 2019-04-24T16:34:39 | https://www.girlfriend.com.au/finn-wolfhard-lauren-mayberry-chvrches-doppelganger |

Intelligence For Your Life - Are Cats As Smart As Dogs?
Are Cats As Smart As Dogs?
Find out what researchers discovered when they tested them!
Cat lovers, hear this: A new study from Kyoto University in Japan says cats are just as smart as dogs! The researchers gave cats memory tests - and they performed just as well as dogs. They can recall memories of a tasty snack… and other pleasant experiences, like lying by a favorite sunny window. Those are known as episodic memories. That’s a memory tied to a specific time and place. It’s like rewinding a video and playing back a moment in your head.
And recently, researchers discovered that’s what dogs have… and now we know cats have it, too! The study discovered that cats can also learn how to respond to human gestures, facial expressions and emotions. And cats can remember where they found food in an unfamiliar location - and go back to that spot to see if they can find food there again. So the next time a die-hard dog lover tells you dogs are smarter - you can say, “Actually, I heard cats are just as smart” - from Intelligence For Your Life. | 2019-04-20T16:17:32 | https://www.tesh.com/articles/are-cats-as-smart-as-dogs/ |

Turkey is gaining more and more interest from foreigners who want to work or establish a business in the country in the last few years. Of course, like in every country, there are some difficulties due to the cultural differences foreigners may face in Turkish business life as well. Although these difficulties are not unique to Turkey and there might be challenges to overcome Turkish business life still offer international standards for business people.
One of the main difficulties foreigners need to overcome in Turkish business life is the problem of communication. It is widely known that knowledge of English is very important for Turkish people both in education and business life in Turkey, yet many people are having difficulties with English and cannot speak English fluently. Of course, people speak English very fluently at international companies, but if you are working in a place where no one knows or speaks English that will be a big challenge for you. So the communication problem depends on where you work but if you want to work in Turkey and plan to reside in the country longer it is recommended to learn Turkish. Aside from your job, in your everyday life, in the street or in a restaurant or in a cafe you need to communicate with Turkish people and even only for this reason learning Turkish will be a great asset for you.
Turkish people are very friendly and sincere individuals. When they meet a new person, whether a foreign or not, if they like you they become fast friends with you and take you ‘under their wings.’ It means they would like to hang out with you at the workplace, during the breaks or even when you have free time outside of the work. They may ask you personal questions about your life such as your ideas about religion or politics and so on. For foreigners, especially people from Western societies who are not used to this kind of nosiness, they may find this odd and as one of the difficulties, they need to overcome. But do not worry, even if Turkish people have no boundaries and filters when it comes to your private life they mean no harm. In the end, when you have a problem, even it is something very mundane, they will be first to come to your rescue. Not to exaggerate but you can trust Turkish people even with your life.
Turkey is one of the countries with the longest working hours. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the average working time for EU countries is 40.3 hours per week, while in Turkey it is 49.4 hours per week on average. Therefore, the long working hours can create certain difficulties for foreigners who are used to shorter working hours back in their home. Especially if you are coming from a Europian country where working hours are restricted due to the EU regulations, you may have a hard time to adapt.
Turkey is home to many different cultures, especially if you work in an international company, and the possibility of working with a great variety of people is very high. At first, this change can be hard to adapt and you may think that this is one of the difficulties you need to encounter throughout your work life. But that is not the case, if you try to communicate and be more open with your colleagues despite your differences, then they will welcome you. Turkish people are pretty easy to satisfy, just be sincere and honest with them. Also, trying to learn more about your colleagues’ personalities will help you to understand them better. In the end, while your learn about Turkish culture maybe you can even teach your friends your culture as well.
Although they are some difficulties they may face in the business life, Turkey still offers many opportunities, low living costs, rich culture and very friendly workplace for foreigners. | 2019-04-19T16:23:27 | https://doingbusinessinturkey.com/difficulties-foreigners-may-face-in-turkish-business-life/ |

My first job in film: What is a corporate film or video production company?
Corporate production companies create films which attach the boardroom to its staff, products to consumers and sponsors to charity campaigns. It's a specialised area of the business that can utilise any cinematic style to suit the tone of a films message.
Corporate films, or corporate videos, are used to connect the boardroom to its employees and convey the company's ethics and ethos to the consumer. Video content online has become increasingly popular for company websites alongside the written material. Video content stands an 80% higher chance of engagement as it requires less from the viewer and keeps their attention focused on the screen for longer. Production companies also create films for fundraising, awareness and promotional purposes. In the world of business, films are necessary communication tools that can create engagement and inform opinion.
Online Commercials. Freedom from the 30 seconds of screen time and significantly cheaper, commercials for online content are of a lower budget but have the opportunity to go viral if they have a great story behind them. Making shareable content is a way of organically promoting your company.
Training Videos. Staff training or first aid training videos can be a useful tool in the workplace, and save companies significant amounts of money when looking to induct employees.
Films for conference. The conference itself can be filmed, allowing viewers full access to the extended content from the day’s events. Films are also made for the conference, such as an address from the CEO if not in attendance.
Consumer testimonials. Connecting potential customers to previous customer experience whether on the website or within the online consumer marketplace.
Industrial. Films aimed at companies working within a specific industry, used for business to business marketing or at trade shows.
Internal communications. Films made to be placed on company intranets are a useful tool to connect senior staff with their employees.
Promotional or branded content. Promotional films are largely web or intranet based. They can come in the form of panel discussions designed to showcase products and create interaction.
Charity film. One of the most efficient ways for charities to reach out to their supporters and funders is via a film. A film detailing the work they carry out, who it affects and what you can do to make a difference is a major asset to fundraisers.
Who makes films for businesses?
Corporate communications companies specialise in making films for business, government organisations and charities. Producers working on corporate films need to be able to understand their client's business model which can be anything from an ammunitions to Royal Mail. Much like the commercials industry, corporate communications have their own awards events, with particular companies taking the lion's share of the larger multinational corporations work. Production companies come in all sizes, though, including smaller start-up companies.
How long does it take to make a corporate film?
Corporate films for big clients such as international brands or government organisations will need to submit a treatment and attach a director to the project, who will discuss the options with the clients. Corporate films utilise all forms of narrative storytelling, the style of the film can dictate the duration of the shoot. If the client chooses a script that is a drama, the production time can be weeks rather than days for filming. If the budget is high the more likely crew working on features and commercials will become involved with the shoot.
Corporate films can cross over into any genre from documentary to drama, as long as it serves the message a company wish to deliver. Drama can be anything from a training video or awareness campaign; the documentary format can be utilised when charting the work of a charity in remote locations. The crew can find themselves working on a day of back to back interviews with executives, filming a conference, high end branded content with high production value or an elongated version of a car commercial.
Depending on the budget you can find a full drama crew on the higher end of the corporate video spectrum, with a more select crew (camera, sound, camera assistant) on the more compact end. Typically a smaller crew is used for interviewing company executives.
HoDs are hired by the production managers, the rest of the crew are usually hired at the HoD’s recommendations. The production manager will be the one negotiating the rate and sending out a Purchase Order for your services.
how do i find a job at a corporate production company?
Many corporate companies do offer internships, so look at MFJF jobs board and the companies themselves to see if they run an existing internship programme. If you are at stage 2-3 of your career plan you should have made some connections within the industry, many of whom will no doubt be fitting in the odd corporate here and there. Much like commercials, corporate rates are usually higher than broadcast rates or low/micro budget films. Working practice, like a lunch hour, is often observed. If you wish to work within the company, whether on the account management side or the production side, having an awareness of the private and third sectors would be advantageous. | 2019-04-25T08:36:32 | https://www.myfirstjobinfilm.co.uk/corporate-film |
Acoustic welding, and more particularly ultrasonic welding, has become increasingly popular in a number of industries. For example, businesses in the textile and personal products industries often manufacture products such as diapers, clothing, etc., that are ultrasonically welded. Ultrasonic welding tools operate under the principle of applying acoustic energy in the ultrasonic frequency range (i.e., at or above 20 kHz) to a horn. The horn vibrates in response to the applied acoustic energy to further produce an output acoustic energy. The output acoustic energy is applied to the materials (typically thermoplastics) being joined by positioning the horn in the vicinity of the parts. The vibrational energy travels through the parts, and at the interface between the parts, is converted to heat. The conversion is due to intermolecular friction that melts and fuses the parts together.
While a number of horn configurations have been developed, it is well known that a good way to attain high quality and high speed ultrasonic welds is to use a rotary horn with a rotating anvil. Typically, a rotary horn is cylindrical and rotates around an axis. The input acoustic energy is in the axial direction and the output acoustic energy is in the radial direction. The horn and anvil are essentially two cylinders positioned close to each other, rotating in opposite directions with equal or nonequal tangential velocities. The parts to be bonded pass between these cylindrical surfaces at a linear velocity which usually matches the tangential velocity of these cylindrical surfaces. Matching the tangential velocities of the rotary horn and the anvil with the linear velocity of the parts can minimize the drag between the horn and the parts.
Ultrasonics is also the method of choice for these materials, for example for parting fabrics so that there is no thickening of the material along the cut edges.
No consumables such as glue, staples or sewing thread are needed. The fabric remains intact, because no external thermal energy is directed into the fleece. Position, shape and displacement of the welding points can even support the desired properties of the composite.
Textiles is thus a field where ultrasonic technology can prove its uniqueness.
HC-SONIC specializes in manufacturing ultrasonic seam welding solutions for rotational systems.
Numerous seam soldering devices have been developed over the past years. From sonotrodes that can be installed in automated assembly lines, the Elmrt35 ultrasounds sewing machine up to customizations such as the PFW model devised for continuous welding of pleated filters.
There are two types of rotating modules for these operations: with either a side or central sonotrode resonating at a 35 kHz frequency and power varying from 600W to 1200W.
These horns can be made out of aluminium, treated with a special surface strengthening procedure, or titanium.
Our seam welding solutions are employed in binding synthetic textiles such as PVC, polyester, polypropylene, coated, filtering and technical fabrics.
Special length, please inform us.
An ultrasonic sewing machine is versatile and easy to use in order to seam, cut, slit, trim, tack, emboss, or to cut and seal at the same time. The process used by every ultrasonic sewing machine is fast, simple and efficient. It can seal up to 80 meters per minute without the need for threads nor needles.
It is indeed a flexible technology. Due to the adaptability of its design, it is possible to mount the sewing machine on a workbench or to install it into semi or fully automated systems.
Instead of needles, thread, glues or other adhesives, ultrasonic sewing equipment uses a patented rotary system, coupled with high-frequency vibrations, to bond synthetic or blended materials containing up to 40 percent natural fibers. | 2019-04-19T12:35:13 | http://www.ultrasonic-weldingequipment.com/sale-10600599-35khz-continuous-ultrasonic-non-woven-bag-sealing-machine-highly-resistant.html |
After an exciting Cowboy Joe Day yesterday that finished off with a grand firework show, we returned to our regular action packed schedule. The day started off with delicious breakfast of strawberry-banana french toast sticks and bacon. As always the kitchen staff knows how to feed a camp full of hungry boys. Following breakfast, the campers were truly awakened by another rousing morning yell. Today, Jacob delivered our chapel talk before the campers made their cabins squeaky clean.
Today in activity periods, campers soared to new heights and earned their bars. In rocketry, Will C. started working on his level 3 rocket. Once he puts the finishing touches on and gives the rocket a custom paint job, he will launch it and earn his gold bar. Billy B. continued to hone his skills in pottery by throwing on the wheel for the first time. He is well on his way to becoming an expert potter.
In the midst of the activities, campers enjoyed their daily free time. Along with drinks and candy from the Trading Post, the recent trend of playing spike ball for the entire free time continued with campers competing against each other and counselors. Spike ball is now one of Camp Timberlake’s most favorite free time activities.
Returning to classes, the archery range saw Callum B. and Calvin T. earn their bronze bars. Calvin T. finished off his bronze by shooting his 5th grouping. In order to be great climbers, climbing class worked hard today on learning the Figure 8 Follow Through and Double Fishermans’ Prusik Knot. Simon C. excelled at learning the Figure 8 Follow Through knot. Once the knots had been perfected, the class climbed on the traverse wall. Hudson L. rocked it on the traverse wall!
While everyone at camp enjoyed their activities, James B., Jack E., and Harrison C., crushed it on the kayaking trip to the Pigeon River. This is the largest kayaking trip we take here so that means these guys are expert paddlers. After a day full of activities and a kayaking trip, we devoured a dinner of Asian food. Dinner gave us the energy required to compete hard in our tribal competitions.

Your health sometimes seems like a jigsaw puzzle with a million different little pieces.
Welcome to The Whole Tulip. We are integrative nutrition health coaches who believe that food is a healing modality and our first and best medicine. We believe every person on this planet is unique and the foods and lifestyle choices that make one person feel their best may have the opposite effect on someone else. By understanding each of our client’s “bioindividuality” we understand the foods that fuel our bodies and make us feel good vs. the ones that drain our energy and tax our bodies.
Whether it’s simply wanting to have more energy, maybe shed a few pounds, sleep a little better, have clearer, brighter skin and get rid of some bothersome digestive symptoms… or its the serious business of a chronic health condition you are trying to heal like irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, chronic allergies, sinus infections, headaches, or arthritis; the Whole Tulip is here to help you put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Welcome to our 14 Day Clean Eating Program. We have designed this program for you. To change the way you look at food and yourself. We want you to rip those old labels off and start new with our support.
The Whole Tulip cleanses have changed the way our family eats and feels. Before The Whole Tulip, I had tried many other detoxes and cleanses, but struggled to understand how starving for a week or more was going to make a positive change. There was not even a consideration from my husband that he might participate in one of those past cleanses.
When I tried my first Whole Tulip cleanse, I was relieved to see that the menu included, fresh, seasonal, real food. The recipes were so good that I was able to feed the whole family without them realizing that they were “participating”. Many of these recipes are now in my full time rotation. Give me a Sugar-Free Power Ball anytime and I am happy! My husband is now a willing participant and even looks forward to starting each season with a Whole Tulip reset. Each time, we end up with at least one long-lasting change that makes a huge difference on how we eat and feel. After the first cleanse, we never went back to sodas or coffee creamer and didn’t miss either.
I always finish a few pounds lighter, but more importantly, I feel great. No more afternoon slumps, no bloat and high energy levels. My husband’s experience has been the most fun to watch. Each time, he suffers through the first few days as his system resets, forgetting how he is going to feel once it does. He accuses us of torturing him with leafy greens, seeds and beets. Then magically and like clockwork, he wakes up on day 4 proclaiming that he feels fantastic. When we get to the end of a cleanse, he’s always ready to keep going. As a guy who loves nothing more than southern fried chicken, he the best testament I know to power of The Whole Tulip.

Getting the best welding equipment for your shop means being able to offer consistent, high-quality results to your clients. Unfortunately, buying your very first metal inert gas (MIG) welder can be tricky. You need to take a lot of factors, such as features and capabilities, cost, and power needs, among others, into account.
Your welder’s power requirements are closely connected to what projects you can use it for. A basic welder runs at 115 V and is ideal for work on thin metals. If you plan to work on thicker metal pieces, you may need a more powerful machine. Keep in mind, however, that such tools do not just cost more; they also consume more power that you’ll eventually have to pay for in utility charges.
If you see your shop handling a wide variety of projects, you might want to opt for combination units. These machines can run at 120 V for less demanding projects and 230 V for bigger workpieces.
What type of wire do you need?
You can cut back on shielding gas by opting for flux-cored MIG wires. These wires are loaded with flux, which rises to the top of the weld just as the wire melts. This type of cable is ideal if you are trying to save costs as not only does it eliminate the need for shielding gas, but it is also compatible with basic, less expensive welders. Conversely, you will need to remove the flux afterwards, which has the risk of scratching the weld. If you need your welds to appear smooth, flux-cored MIG wires might not be for you. You can also ask your trusted MIG welding wire supplier for recommendations in this area.
How long will you be welding?
Duty cycle is an essential factor when choosing MIG welders. It pertains to the number of minutes you can weld in a given cycle before the welder needs to be rested and allowed to cool down. Duty cycle affects many vital metrics in your shop, including productivity, turnaround time, and weld quality. Unfortunately, specific projects require higher duty cycles, but these could result in overheating and ultimately destroy your welder.
To prevent overheating, you can invest in thermal overhead protection. Some welder models have this built in, and their price might show it. Anyhow, this feature will ensure that your welder lasts longer and that it can deliver the results you expect.
Choosing an MIG welder for your shop is no simple matter, especially if your business has special needs. With that in mind, before you go shopping for a machine, make sure you fully understand what projects you will be setting out to do and what materials you will likely be working with. At the same time, you need to understand the kind of results your clients expect from you and your brand. | 2019-04-18T11:24:22 | https://www.braingainmarketing.com/questions-to-ask-when-choosing-an-mig-welder/ |
The "Collaborating to Change College Substance Use Project" works to 1) Reduce binge drinking and marijuana use among community college students, 2) Create an environment on campus that supports low-risk decision making, and 3) Increase effectiveness and enforcement of existing laws and policies related to binge drinking and marijuana use. To accomplish these goals, the project formed a collaborate group of key stakeholders including faculty, law enforcement, student housing owners, students, and substance abuse prevention experts. This group has worked together over the past three years to raise awareness of substance abuse issues both on and off campus, identify strategies to create a safer college environment for students, provide training on substance abuse interventions, and implement policies to better address the substance abuse that occurs among students.
The project has been creative in its methods to capture college students' attention. A variety of strategies have been implemented including t-shirt campaigns, poster campaigns denoting comical but unfortunate social risks of binge drinking, drinking and driving simulators, and articles posted on the back of bathroom stalls.
Eight housing complexes are now referring students to the Prime for Life intervention program. Nine classes have been held since the program began. 100% of students completing the course identified intent to decrease substance use.
The collaborative student/faculty group to address substance abuse went from non-existent prior to the start of this project to an active membership of 22. In total, nineteen individuals from Kirkwood and the surrounding community have actively assisted with the implementation of at least one prevention effort in the past year.
83% of the Kirkwood faculty and housing staff who responded to an email survey stated an increase in substance abuse knowledge as a result in participation in this program.
Perhaps the most significant outcome for evidence of increased enforcement has been a 350% increase in drug charges and a 31% increase in alcohol related charges within two complexes that house primarily Kirkwood students. These are two of the most actively involved housing complexes in this project, and the increase has been a direct result of the narcotics unit checks initiated through this project.
Annual narcotics trainings have been implemented for campus faculty, nearby student housing faculty, local law enforcement, and other community members.
Eight housing complexes have adopted new substance abuse policies since the initiation of this program. As a result, drug-free environment policies can be enforced and students are now getting the help needed to address substance abuse when they are caught violating an alcohol or drug policy in their apartment.
Collaborating to Change College Substance Use is a successful example of how to engage in prevention efforts with young people through collaboration. The program's focus on substance abuse prevention and helping students engage in more healthy decision making can serve to immunize against delinquency, youth violence, and the damaging effects of teen substance abuse. Negative peer group influence, alcohol and drug use are among the risk factors predictive of gang membership. The Collaborating to Change College Substance Abuse promotes a positive prevention-based approach to addressing the chronic challenge of campus substance abuse. | 2019-04-26T13:46:21 | https://www.bja.gov/SuccessStoryDetail.aspx?ssid=14 |
Saab Barracuda employees along with Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry display the SHARP flag during a recertification ceremony at its Lillington facility. This recertification is the third consecutive SHARP award for exceptional safety awareness and performance presented to Saab Barracuda.
The N.C. Department of Labor recently recertified Saab Barracuda in Lillington as a participant in the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). The program recognizes companies for a commitment to the safety and health of their employees.
Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry presented employees and company officials with the SHARP flag and certificate at a ceremony at the Lillington facility Jan. 30.
The SHARP Award is designed for small to mid-size businesses. Companies that qualify for the award show that they have developed and maintained good safety programs for workers. To qualify for the program, injury and illness rates for the site must be below the national average for the industry, and NCDOL safety and health consultants must complete an assessment of the workplace.
Saab Barracuda engages in the design, testing and manufacturing of signature management and camouflage products for the armed forces and government agencies in the U.S. Additionally, Saab Barracuda manufactures multi-spectral camouflage and heat reducing systems for the Department of Defense, law enforcement and other government agencies. These products protect against threats from sensors and reduce the effects of heat and solar loading on personnel and equipment.
The company was first SHARP certified in September 2014 and recertified in January 2017. Saab Barracuda also received the 3rd Year Gold Award at the 2018 Sanford Safety Awards Banquet. | 2019-04-26T16:40:39 | http://mydailyrecord.com/stories/lillington-facility-recertified-as-sharp-participant,44810 |
When a company suffers a data breach, hundreds of millions or even billions of login credentials may be leaked online and posted to Pastebin, Github or a hacker forum, leaving companies victimized and struggling to respond. Not only is the company victimized, the users are as well, left questioning whether their identities or personal information is at risk.
With more than one billion active monthly users around the globe, Facebook has taken steps to prevent password theft and ease users worry, many whom likely reuse credentials across social media.
Facebook announced today that it has built a tool that will automatically crawl publicly leaked credentials online and notify existing Facebook users if their Facebook credentials have been identified online.
Long continued saying Facebook’s automated system does not store Facebook credentials in plaintext.
Facebook’s most recent announcement is a swift and long needed reaction to the recent string of data breaches affecting large retailers, including Home Depot, Kmart, Target, among many others. In the case of most breaches, hackers target payment information but also steal personal customer data.
Facebook’s action is a huge benefit for password reuse. Consumers in particular many re-use passwords across any number of sites, including even the most important such as banking, social networks, email and news sites. The risk of password re-use is obvious, if a hacker steals or gains access to someones password, nothing is stopping them from trying the username and password combination on an email provider or financial institution. The hacker could even stick the credentials into an automated tool, allowing them to test the password combination on any number of sites, individually verifying where the credentials work.
Facebook tested its system last November, when the company searched for the information lost in the Adobe data breach, where more than three million credentials were stolen and leaked online. Users whose data was found online matching their Facebook credential information was required to reset their password.
Long continued to say that Facebook reacts to data breaches once the stolen information is leaked publicly, the system then parses data into a standardized formation. Facebook proceeds to hash each password with their own algorithm.
“Once we have the list of stolen email addresses and hashed passwords, an automated system checks each one of them against the Facebook internal databases to see if any of the email addresses and hashed passwords match valid login information on Facebook,” Long said.
If Facebook’s automated password scanning tool finds a match, the affected users is prompted with during their next visit to the site, directing them to a step-by-step instructional guide on how to change their password.
“Changing your password will invalidate the stolen password and help protect the Facebook account,” Long concluded. Long also recommended the use of a password manager and added users should enable two-factor authentication to stop unauthorized logins. | 2019-04-24T12:24:52 | https://freedomhacker.net/facebook-builds-automated-password-scanner-tool-stop-account-theft/ |

New Delhi,Gargi Gupta: Twenty-four foot LED screen, an invitation card with QR (quick response) code, a Facebook page, simultaneous telecast in embassies across the world – the Make-in-India launch at Vigyan Bhawan on September 24 last year was unlike what usually goes for a sarkari function. Speaking at the launch, prime minister Narendra Modi called 'Make-in-India' his government's "lion's step", a reference to its logo.
In the eight months since, the PM has pushed the message among businessmen in India and abroad at every opportunity. "I have come to say to you Make-in-India. The 5F formula - from farm to fibre to fabric to fashion to foreign!" he told a delegation of Chinese CEOs on his recent trip to the country. "India is ready to welcome the whole world with open arms," he told the Germans at Hanover Messe in April.
The logic, as the PM has clarified several times, is simple – India needs to rejuvenate its manufacturing sector, which has been in sharp decline over the decades, to transform its economy and hasten the pace of job creation.
But nearly eight months down the line, how far has Modi succeeded?
Going by data from Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the office under the union commerce ministry that oversees Make-in-India, the number of IEMs (industrial entrepreneurs memorandum) filed dipped from 2,365 in 2013 (calendar year) to 1,801 in 2014.
The value of proposed investments came down from Rs.529,828 crore to Rs.404,339 crore in 2014 – nearly 24% lower. The proposed new employment opportunities that these industrial units promised to generate also saw a significant drop from 10,48,207 in 2013 to 4,43,122 in 2014.
The trends were not encouraging for the first four months of 2015 either – only 452 IEMs with a proposed investment of Rs.87,393. Of these, as many as 202 IEMs with proposed investments of Rs.45,328 crore were filed in the month of April alone.
This is a revealing statistic since IEM is a key document that all businesspersons who want to set up an industrial unit must file with the DIPP. Thus, a drop in IEMs reflects, prima facie, how little Indian industry has been enthused by Make-in-India. This, despite the government considerably easing the process of doing business, by making the filing of industrial licences and IEM online, 24×7, through an eBiz portal, which functions as a single-window portal for getting government clearances.
According to D K Srivastava, chief policy advisor, EY India, Make-in-India does not seem to have had "any signs of tangible take-offs". "Expectations were high when the government came to power and sweeping, broad reforms were expected. But the government seems to be looking at narrow targets. It has deemphasized the services sector, which creates more jobs with lesser investment, and focused on manufacturing where the ratio of investment to jobs is much lower."
Sumit Majundar, president of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), is not worried. "You can't expect to get results so soon after a policy change. Besides, there is the hangover of the previous regime."
However, foreign direct investment (FDI) – or as the PM said with his characteristic verbal flourish "first develop India" – another important plank of Make-in-India shows some reason for cheer with a significant jump in inflows.
In August 2014, within months of taking charge, the Modi government had allowed 100% FDI through the automatic route in medical devices and railways infrastructure, and eased norms for the construction sector. The FDI cap on insurance was raised to 49% from 26%. In the defence sector, 26% FDI was allowed in the automatic route, 49% subject to government approvals, and beyond with the approval of the CCS (Cabinet Committee on Security).
DIPP figures show that cumulative FDI inflows in last financial year up to February were Rs.175,886 crore, which was 40% more than what it was for the period the year before – the comparison for February 2015, the last month for which figures are available, shows as even more startling jump of 85%, over FDI inflows in February 2014. Among the sectors where the jump in FDI inflow was most significant were automobiles, trading, telecom, pharmaceuticals and non-conventional energy.
Some sectors like construction development and earth moving equipment saw a drop. Defence – a focus area forMake-in-India with Modi reiterating how domestic arms manufacturing was needed to help reduce India's dependence on exports – also saw a drop in FDI from Rs.4.45 crore during 2013-14 to Rs.0.48 crore during last financial year up to February.
May, however, has seen a flurry of activity with the government clearing proposals worth over Rs.14,600 crore.
According to Srivastava, the problem with Make-in-India lies with a basic confusion at its heart. "Is the focus export promotion or import substitution? With the MAT (minimum alternate tax) fiasco and the land acquisition bill held up, the signals are mixed. At the ground level, industries will only invest if they see consumption picking up, and that has not happened. Given the repressed sentiments in the export markets, the companies are already saddled with excess capacity; they will not make fresh investments until their inventories clear. The budget also did not show any promise and the Niti Ayog has not come up with a single vision paper or broad strategy."
SV Sukumar, partner and head strategy and operations practice, KPMG India, is more optimistic. "The government has tried to do some things at the policy level, but it has not had any effect on the ground.
Make-in-India may have made the world look at India with positive eyes but international investments are long-term decisions. The private sector is wary of investing as it has already burnt its fingers – it is only if the government begins investing in infrastructure that the economy will start looking up with the spiralling effect it will have on the commodity and transport sectors." | 2019-04-18T16:33:24 | https://www.alternativemedia.co.in/2015/05/make-in-india-pitch-perfect-but-slow-on.html |

There is no doubt that video content is the new hype nowadays.
With YouTube being the second largest search engine after Google.com and companies spending billions of dollars on video advertising alone, if you want to get your name out there you need to deliver professional looking videos to your audience.
Whether you are a start-up, an established company or just an individual looking to get a video produced and edited, think about it twice before doing it yourself.
Getting your footage put together and polished by a video editing company might actually save you both time and money.
Here are the top 8 reasons why you should consider hiring the professionals to do it for you.
Many times people think that video editing service is something untouchable by someone with a modest budget.
When you hear the words “video editing company” you think about big Hollywood movie companies or large media & advertising agencies which are very expensive indeed.
The truth is that our video editing services start at just $100 dollars and usually don’t go any higher than $200-$300.
Unless you want us to do something really crazy with your footage.
For this budget, we will take your raw footage, cut it down to the absolute best looking scenes and edit it all together into a 2-3 minutes awesome looking video.
Unless you are doing video editing on a regular basis yourself and already have a small studio setup, there is no way you can edit faster than a dedicated video editing company.
Our average turnaround time for delivering the fully edited video is just 3 working days after receiving your raw footage.
You can’t beat that anywhere else and you definitely can beat it by doing everything yourself.
Getting a video edited in a professional manner requires a fairly expensive setup, especially if you want to work with 4K clips.
You will need a powerful workstation packed with at least 2-3 professional video editing software programs.
Not to mention your own time to set up everything. If you put it all into balance you will figure it out yourself that you will be actually saving money if you pay someone else to do the edit for you.
Therefore purchasing a video editing service will be a wise decision.
All your requirements and ideas can be communicated to our editors through a simple email. If you want to make the things crystal clear we can also set up a call.
The actual editing of the video is made by following your requirements, whether these are very clear and strict rules or just guidelines.
If you don’t know what works best don’t worry. You can ask us to use our personal interpretation of the video based on our expertise.
If you plan on doing a massive video campaign share your timeline with us.
We will do our best efforts to match your timeline and deliver everything in a timely manner.
Once the first draft of the video is finished you can review it and ask for up to 3 free revisions.
This back and forth process always results in great customer experience.
Getting your project started will cost you only a fraction of the full price.
You will pay for the full service only after reviewing the 1st draft video and up to 3 revisions of the clip.
This way you avoid spending large amounts on services you are not even happy with.
Good communication is the key to making things run smoothly of both parties.
Make sure you communicate all your requirements.
Don’t hesitate to provide constructive feedback on the video drafts.
Hiring a freelancer on your own is like flipping a coin. You never know what you are going to get.
When hiring a video editing company odds will be much more in your favor.
Video editing is our full-time job. We can’t afford to deliver mediocre results.

I hadn’t thought about how an editing service will be able to handle higher quality video, like 4k, without you needing to buy quality software. I have been needing to have a video I shot last month edited. I can see how it would be nice to have a service do it for me.

Mangaluru, Dec 07, 2017 : As part of World Aids Day 2017, an innovative awareness app called ’Beat AIDS’ was launched by the Department of Community Medicine, K S Hegde Medical Academy (KSHEMA), Deralakatte.
During the official launch of the app, KSHEMA Vice Dean Dr Amrith Mirajkar said that it has got wide application in creating awareness among netizens and promoting early diagnosis of HIV cases. He congratulated the faculties and postgraduates of Community Medicine department for creating its 4th android app in health promotion series which included diabetes, cancer and pregnancy tracking. "Apps are the best medium for creating awareness among the masses since they are easy to disseminate and are cost effective," says Dr Sanjeev Badiger, Professor and Head of Department of Community Medicine, KSHEMA.
Contents of this app were created by Dr Shameena AU and the app was developed by Dr Sharon Baisil, final year postgraduate from the Department of Community Medicine.
The features of the app are evidence based up to date information about HIV/AIDS (causes, symptoms, tests and treatment), 30 simple tips for preventing HIV infection, 13 common misconceptions about HIV, five ways that HIV cannot be spread. It also includes how to identify nine early symptoms of HIV and get tested, glossary of 50 HIV/AIDS-related terms and daily health tips.
Creating awareness about HIV/AIDS is not a one man’s job but requires a combined effort. "Only when we know about it and start talking to others about it without any hesitation, we can make a difference and prevent any more cases of HIV/AIDS. This app is a small but effective step to provide hands on information to everyone about the disease so that they can stay informed and pass the same information to others in need." | 2019-04-21T12:56:24 | http://www.mangaloretoday.com/main/Kshema-launches-Aids-awareness-app.html |
Marozzo’s Sword & Dagger system is a highly effective and extremely versatile one. The system relies on a promary base guardia position, from which we are shown the majority of the plays. The remaining parts of the system are describing following actions made form the guardie which you have moved to from the base guardia.
For ease of interpretation, I have grouped the plays under their starting guardia, which is named for the sword position being used.
Gather forward with the right foot, and stepping forward with the left, throw a rising falso to the sword or dagger hand. This will also protect you from an attack to the head or leg.
Throw a probing stocadella to see if you can draw a response from the enemy. If the enemy does not respond, pass right and throw a falso dritto to the dagger hand, ending with the sword in Coda Lunga Stretta, and the dagger in Guardia di Testa.
When the enemy throws a mandritto at the head, step forward with the right foot and parry with Guardia d’Alicorno, simultaneously attacking to the flanks with the dagger. Riposte by passing back with the right foot whilst throwing a mandritto fendente, ending with the sword in Cinghiara Porta di Ferro, and the dagger in Guardia di Testa.
When the enemy attacks you, parry the blow with the true edge of your dagger and simultaneously traverse right with your right foot. Riposte with a strong thrust to the flank or a mezzo mandritto to the leg. For your defence, as the left leg comes behind to complete the traverse, throw a riverso molinello, and then pass back with the right foot, ending with the sword in Coda Lunga Alta, and your dagger in Porta di Ferro Stretta.
When the enemy throws a mandritto to the leg, pass right and parry the sword with the true edge of your dagger, turning the point down. Simultaneously throw a mandritto to his leg, ending in Porta di Ferro Larga with the sword, and Guardia di Testa with the dagger.
When the enemy counterattacks with a mandritto to your leg, slip back your right foot bringing your sword to you left hip, and then turning through with a riverso squalembrato (bind to seconde) to clear the enemy’s sword as you step back with the right, ending with the sword in Coda Lunga Alta, and your dagger in Porta di Ferro Stretta.
Defence 2 – a false edge dagger parry: – In stresso tempo on a pass right, parry with false edge of dagger without turning the hand, and simultaneously riposte with thrust or a mandritto to the head or leg.
Defence 3 – a counterattack to the sword arm: – Traverse right with right foot using the pivoting step cutting with a mandritto traversato to the sword arm, ending with the sword in Cingiaria Porta di Ferro, and the dagger in Guardia di Testa.
Parry with false edge of sword (probably a prime parade) and riposte on a pass right with a fendente to the head, ending with RH in Porta di Ferro Stretta and LH in Guardia di Testa.
Redouble with a thrust to the face under your dagger, passing back into RH Coda Lunga Alta, LH Porta di Ferro Alta.
Slip the left foot back to the right, then riposte with a riverso the leg on a step right, ending with RH in Coda Lunga Stretta and LH in Guardia di Testa.
Harass with a rising falso. If he responds with riverso to head or leg, parry with true edge of dagger, point towards the ground. Riposte with a riverso to the head on a step right, ending with RH in Coda Lunga Distesa and LH in Guardia di Testa.
Redouble with a falso or thrust, passing back into RH Coda Lunga Alta, LH Porta di Ferro Alta.
Parry with true edge of dagger by turning hand into Coda Lunga Stretta. Riposte with a thrust to the chest or a half mandritto to the leg on a step right.
Take 2 or 3 steps back to get out of range.
Defence 1) Parry with sword using a falso (dagger hand probably covers the redirection), and riposte with a riverso segarai to the leg, with the dagger going to Guardia di Testa.
Defence 2) On a pass back, parry with a falso from below upwards.
If the enemy responds to the Elza e Tira with a mandritto or fendente to the head, traverse right with the right foot and counter his strike with Guardia di Testa. Redouble with a traverse left, throwing mandritto with the dagger and riverso with the sword, ending with the sword in Coda Lunga Distesa, and your dagger in Porta di Ferro Alta. Watch carefully for the enemy may attack with a thrust or mandritto imbroccata.
When the enemy throws a blow to the head (mandritto, roverso or stoccata), parry with your sword using a rising falso beat, and then riposte with a mandritto to the leg. Redouble with roverso, preferably to the sword arm, made with small step forward with the right foot. For your defence pass back with the right foot ending in Coda Lunga Alta with the sword and Porta di Ferro Stretta with the dagger.
When the enemy throws a thrust high or low, traverse right with the right foot and parry with a falso, riposte with a riverso to the leg. Riposte by passing back with the right foot whilst throwing a falso dritto, ending with the sword in Coda Lunga Alta, and the dagger in Porta di Ferro Alta.
When the enemy throws an attack, pass forward with the right foot, and parry with a rising falso, ending with the sword in Porta di Ferro Stretta, and your dagger in Guardia di Testa, with your arms facing the right side of your enemy.
When the enemy throws a mandritto or riverso to your head or leg, or a thrust to the face, pass back to your right with the right foot, and parry with a mandritto traversato, ending with the sword in Cinghiara Porta di Ferro Stretta, and your dagger in Guardia di Testa.
Throw a mezzo mandritto to the dagger hand to draw a response. When the enemy attacks you, parry the blow with your dagger and throw a blow to the head made whilst stepping forward and left with your right foot. Redouble with a riverso to the sword leg (traversing left with the left foot), and then back with the right foot, extending a stoccata to the face under your dagger, ending with the sword in Coda Lunga Alta, and your dagger in Porta di Ferro Stretta.
Feel out the enemy’s response with a falso to either hand as you make a gathering step. If the enemy throws a thrust or mandritto imbroccata at the head or leg, traverse right throwing a falso traversato to the arm or hand, or a riverso voltato that turns under in the fashion of a molinello (turning to your outside, which will then come under opponent’s sword), ending with the sword in Coda Lunga Stretta, and your dagger in Guardia di Testa. | 2019-04-20T00:28:29 | http://renfence.com.au/bolognese-swordsmanship/achille-marozzo/marozzos-sword-dagger/ |

Plumbing is a specialized area which is handled best by professionals. Plumbing is not an easy task which can be performed by anyone. It requires adequate skill and knowledge about the plumbing system.
There are generally four types of plumbing systems applicable around the home. For each plumbing system a specific type of plumber is required.
Before deciding the type of plumber for your house, you must understand the types of plumbing systems of around your house. Different types of plumbing systems are explained below.
It is of one of the basic plumbing system around a house. Under this types of plumbing systems, cold and hot water flows through all faucets in the home. The plumbing system allows the passage of hot water and the water is heated on the way to the tap.
It has been seen that most of the houses in urban areas have this types of plumbing systems. The portable cold and hot water supply plumbing system is installed in the back yard of the house close to the exterior of the bathroom.
Drainage venting is one of the most common types of plumbing systems in commercial buildings, residential houses and industrial units. Drainage venting plumbing system allows the outflow of all the sewage and Grey water from the building through the designated pipes.
This types of plumbing systems also allows the exit of trapped air in sewage pipes. It has been noted that failure in the plumbing system often leads to accumulation of sewage water and bad odor.
To avoid such problems, the plumbing system is checked by the professionals. The designated pipes in the building for the passage of sewage water is connected with a main drainage pipe of the city that leads the Grey water to sewage treatment plant.
In some under developed areas, it has been seen that residential complexes are not connected to the sewage system. In such cases, people needs to contact professional plumbers for septic system. It is a small and independent septic system where the sewage water is dumped.
The septic system is made up of components including sand filters, alarms, pumps, septic tanks and drainage area for dumping the sewage, peat moss beds or natural stone fiber filter plants. However, the septic tank needs to be cleared and treated for odor at regular interval of time. Most of the population in country area uses septic plumbing system.
Fuel gas piping is the most common types of plumbing systems after portable water system plumbing and drainage venting plumbing. Gas piping is used in the building for variety of purposes other than only using it in gas stoves.
Gas as a fuel is highly inflammable due to which proper construction, repair, renovation and maintenance of gas fuel pipes are required. There are specialized plumbers are available to handle fuel gas piping in a building.
Plumbing system is known to be the circulating system of the house. The plumbing pipes are embedded in the floor and behind the door which carries the sewage water silently outside the house and dumps it into a main drainage pipe in the city. That is different types of plumbing systems. | 2019-04-20T01:27:45 | https://www.dreamlandsdesign.com/different-types-of-plumbing-systems/ |

Loose Watercolor Painting Demo "Misty Lake"
Loose Transparent Watercolor Painting Demonstration "Misty Lake"
I really like this transparent watercolor demonstration. The painting reminds me of Sweden. Using a spray bottle of water can really come in handy. I like the misty effects.
Ill have to test out the spray bottle technique!
Yes, and try a painting like this that is almost monochromatic.
Lol my boyfriend and I always argue about colors because he has a hard time with greens and blues. He always says that he is a tetrachromat 😂 monochromatic makes sense now!
learn a lot about tone, value and contrast. | 2019-04-24T04:11:39 | https://paintsandcrafts.savvity.net/discussions/5b03022a1d41c8561a030445-loose-watercolor-painting-demo-misty-lake |
Women are human beings, and it’s about time the film industry took note.
Always listen to some songs that will make you feel like the world is your own oyster.
Why Does Anyone Care About Kylie Jenner’s Lips?
Let's do all women a favor, and put the Kylie Jenner lip investigation to rest.
Her songs are equal parts turn up, oddity and girl power.
We can appreciate art, on the runway and within our own body image, without the putrid self-loathing.
Unsurprisingly, being a feminist and a fan of K-pop can be a rather trying endeavor. | 2019-04-22T20:07:37 | https://femmagazine.com/category/gendertainment/page/14/ |

Chef Matt Gordon of Urban Solace makes this Sweet Potato Pecan Pie as an oversized, deep dish pie by baking it in a cake pan. This recipe makes enough for 2-3 regular sized pies or 7 mini pies (as pictured).
To make the dough: Sift flour, sugar and salt together. Cut in butter and orange zest until combined. Slowly add the yolk and water until dough pulls together. Ball up and chill for at least 30 minutes.
For first layer, mix all ingredients in mixer for about 3 minutes or until totally smooth.
For second layer, cream sugar and butter and add eggs until combined add remaining ingredients and mix for 1 minute.
To make pie: Butter 1 large cake pan for a deep dish pie, or 2-3 regular sized pie dishes, or 7 mini pie pans. Cut a parchment circle to fit the bottom. Roll the crust out onto a floured sheet of parchment and flip into pan. Flute edges and brush with egg whites. Fill about halfway with sweet potato filling and spread 1.5 cups of hand crushed pecans evenly over filling. Top with second layer mixture until just to lower edge of crust. Add more pecans!
Bake at 325 in oven for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. If it is browning to quickly, place foil over the top of the pie.

The total number of days between Sunday, June 10th, 1951 and Friday, January 16th, 1976 is 8,986 days.
This is equal to 24 years, 7 months, and 6 days.
This does not include the end date, so it's accurate if you're measuring your age in days, or the total days between the start and end date. But if you want the duration of an event that includes both the starting date and the ending date, then it would actually be 8,987 days.
If you're counting workdays or weekends, there are 6,419 weekdays and 2,567 weekend days.
If you include the end date of Jan 16, 1976 which is a Friday, then there would be 6,420 weekdays and 2,567 weekend days including both the starting Sunday and the ending Friday.
8,986 days is equal to 1,283 weeks and 5 days.
The total time span from 1951-06-10 to 1976-01-16 is 215,664 hours.
This is equivalent to 12,939,840 minutes.
You can also convert 8,986 days to 776,390,400 seconds.
June 10th, 1951 is a Sunday. It is the 161st day of the year, and in the 23rd week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 30 days in this month. 1951 is not a leap year, so there are 365 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 6/10/1951, and almost everywhere else in the world it's 10/6/1951.
January 16th, 1976 is a Friday. It is the 16th day of the year, and in the 3rd week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 1st quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 1976 is a leap year, so there are 366 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 1/16/1976, and almost everywhere else in the world it's 16/1/1976.
Enter two dates below to find the number of days between them. For best results, avoid entering years before 1753. Examples include 1905-07-24 or Nov 2, 1997. You can also type words like today or yesterday, or use the American format, 4/19/2019. | 2019-04-19T22:49:45 | https://www.convertunits.com/dates/from/Jun+10,+1951/to/Jan+16,+1976 |
There are those who long for the pole shift to begin, as they have structured their lives around what they know, deep within them, will occur. As with all those who live double lives, this is stressful. Contactees live these double lives, many preferring to dampen conscious knowledge of their status, the visits they have with odd creatures bringing news of an expanding role for the Earth in the future, to avoid constant conflict with family or friends or co-workers. They live two lives, one in secret, shared only with close confidants who are having similar experiences, but unable to be open with lovers, parents, children, childhood friends, and priests. Those waiting for the pole shift have similar pain, not due to any fault of their own as they have no control over what is coming, nor any control over the cover-up that prevents open discussion about the physical facts, but their pain is similar because friends and family pull them in the direction of what they term normal living, while the one aware longs for more partnership with friends and family, a chance to talk about the issues without creating yet another argument, sympathy with the stress of trying to plan for sudden earth changes while simultaneously living as though this were not going to occur. Those who know the Earth changes cannot be avoided have arrived at this conclusion not only due to what they observe as facts in the world around them, the infinite number of clues that a cover-up exists, that a second sun has arrived, that an Earth wobble has set in, but often because they are contactees and have received this information well in advance of the occurrence. For them, each phase of the Earth changes, from the arrival of the Second Sun, to the constellations not being right for the seasons, to the Earth lurching about, makes their certainty stronger, their resolve stronger, and the pain likewise increased.
They feel dangled, twisting slowly in the wind, unable to extricate themselves by going backwards into ignorance and unable to go forward into partnership with others unless the cover-up is broken or the pole shift sequence begins. And neither seems to be in a hurry to happen! We have spoken often of the fragility of the cover-up, in that those who are participating have been told that panic is the larger enemy but primarily because they have also been told that no such cataclysmic event as we have described will occur. They have been told that the monster will pass, and that later, when the danger is past, the public could be told. Heads of state, media personalities, weathermen and astronomers alike are told this line, and mostly they believe it because the heart wants to believe this. But what happens when the lie is revealed, and the Earth tips into days of darkness for the northern hemisphere? This most certainly will be accompanied by a disturbed jet stream beyond what the weatherman can imagine, as cold air moves to warm zones of lighter, heated air, while simultaneously being pushed by the rotation of the globe, an unknown maelstrom of fierce and unpredictable storms. And what of the stress on the globe when parts normally aligned with the Suns magnetic influences find themselves straining in two different directions, under the dictates of two different magnetic giants? Will the crust protest? Will earthquakes and volcanism be the result? Will those participating in the cover-up maintain a calm exterior and believe the lie they have been told, that this will pass without cataclysmic uproar? The cover-up will drop, suddenly, into a yammering of emotional slips and tearful announcements.
And what of the seemingly endless progression of the Earth changes, a halted orbit for the Earth almost a year now with scarcely any movement toward the pole shift other than increased stress on the crust and a perceptible wobble. Will years pass with this the situation? Will change happen so suddenly that the long wait may be over in days? We would point to the progress of Planet X past the Sun and toward the Ecliptic, as evidenced by the earths response to this passing magnet. The tilting that occurred last January, putting Iceland first as the cold spot, then quickly shifting to Siberia, showed the planet passing the Suns S. Pole. The strength of the Earth wobble and in particular the direction of the wobble showing the retrograde movement of the passing planet. The odd pause in the wobble as the passing planet arrived close to the Ecliptic in September, all these show progress in the passage. Now we anticipate an increasing tip of the N. Pole away from the Sun, into the 3 Days of Darkness, already past the point anticipated for Winter in the northern hemisphere and Summer in the southern hemisphere. How fast this tipping will occur we will not say, as the establishment still is not sharing what they know with the public, and thus our information will preponderantly serve the elite who still harbor plans to exterminate large sections of the populace, unwanted mouths to be fed in the future, under the cloak of Martial Law.
But one thing is certain, for all the pain that an uncertain wait brings to those longing for partnership with friends and family, for the end to their double lives, there will be commensurate reward when the pace of change picks up. Those around each who wait in pain are noticing the changes, the strengh of their denial a brittle cover over their many concerns. When this cover cracks, like the cover-up the elite has foisted upon the world, there will be a rush to partnership. Plans suddenly made, resources available, love expressed among those who realize how short life can be and how precious moments in each others company. | 2019-04-25T12:39:26 | http://www.nepanewsletter.com/zetatalk/index/zeta179.htm |

Recruitment officially began in late October and is going well. I have interviewed 3 amazing women so far and have 3 more interviews scheduled for next week. Thank you to everyone who has shared my call for participants and to the women who have shared their stories with me so far – I look forward to talking to more of you soon!
I have submitted abstracts about the study to the Society for Disability Studies Conference, the American Psychological Association Convention, and the Association of Ontario Midwives Conference. If all goes well, I will be presenting preliminary findings of the study at these events this summer.
I have now completed interviews with 5 women. I have 2 more interviews scheduled before I take a break to focus on transcribing the interviews and for the holidays. I am already starting to recognize common themes among the participants’ experiences, even though all of the women I have interviewed thus far have different types of mobility-limiting conditions (e.g., spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy). For instance, all women report encountering health care providers who know very little about the interaction of disability, pregnancy, labour, and delivery – a finding that is common in the (limited) literature on this topic. Likewise, most women report difficulties finding information themselves. Many of the women I have interviewed have talked about the challenges that they experience carrying, lifting, and getting down on the floor to play with their children, often due to their mobility limitations, such as limited hand/arm function, and/or chronic pain – an issue taken for granted by non-disabled parents and care providers. Similarly, even though their milk was in and ready to go, breastfeeding proved challenging for many women due to their mobility limitations and chronic pain. Having a supportive partner or other formal or informal (social) supports seems to play a huge role in the transition to motherhood for physically disabled women, not surprisingly. I have learned so much from the women I have interviewed thus far. Their birth stories and experiences of parenting, particularly the creative and imaginative ways in which they parent, really evoke an interrogation of the (non-disabled) self, of what is “normal,” of what is accessible, and what independence looks like. Arguably, no one truly raises a child on their own.
Dr. Lisa I. Iezzoni and colleagues in the U.S. have recently published the first of what I imagine to many papers from their qualitative study of physically disabled women’s experiences of the perinatal period in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica. Check out the abstract for that paper here. I look forward to reading this paper and others by Dr. Iezzoni, who I was fortunate enough to meet when I was in Boston in November. She really is a pioneer in research on the health care experiences and outcomes of persons with disabilities in the U.S. Click here and here to learn more about Dr. Iezzoni and her work.
I have completed interviews with 8 women and I will be interviewing my 9th participant later this week. Due to some challenges with recruitment I have expanded the geographical inclusion criteria for my study from the Greater Toronto Area to Southwestern Ontario. Please see my new and improved recruitment flyer (thanks Ryan White!) and help spread the word! Thank you!
I am happy to report that I interviewed my 9th study participant today! Already, as mentioned, despite their varying disability types, backgrounds, and experiences, I have identified a number of common themes among my study participants, including barriers to care and assumptions and negative reactions from strangers. But here, instead of dwelling on the (many) things that can be improved to enhance care experiences and educate the public, I want to stress how thankful I am to the women who have participated in my study thus far. I am taken aback with how generous you have been—you have taken time out of your busy days to talk with me, you have invited me into your homes, and you have shared very intimate details of incredibly significant moments of your lives with me. I don’t think I will ever get tired of listening to birth stories! I feel extremely grateful that I get to do this work and really hope that in a year or so, when all of the interviews are complete and the data is analyzed, that I can produce materials that you are proud of and that make a real difference so that more people can learn about your experiences and we can work to address barriers to care and other issues we’ve identified that need addressing.
Recently, I met with staff at two organizations in Toronto who offer programs and services for disabled women who were kind enough to tell me more about the work that they do and to spread the word about my study – thanks Lucy (from the Anne Johnston Health Station), and Andrea and Melanie (from the Centre for Independent Living in Toronto)!
In Toronto next weekend? If so, I encourage you to attend Intermingling Disability Communities: Reclaiming Our Bodies & Minds Conference 2015, a three-day conference jointly organized by groups at George Brown College, York University, Ryerson University, and the University of Toronto. In the evening, on Saturday, February 28th there will be a panel focused on how individuals with developmental disabilities experience parenting.
Want to share your birth experience? Tired of birth horror stories? Want to learn more about midwifery? I encourage you to check out the Positive Birth Collective, an inclusive non-judgmental (online) space created by my good friend Michelle for women and birth partners to come together and share their journeys through pregnancy and birth using various mediums such as storytelling, art, and poetry.
Finally, thank you, again, to all of the women who have participated in my study thus far and to those of you who have helped spread the word about my study! I look forward to sharing more with you as the study progresses!
I am happy to report that I will be presenting preliminary study findings at the American Psychological Association Convention (in August) and the Association of Ontario Midwives Conference (in May)!
I am also happy to report that there are researchers in other parts of the world doing work very similar to mine. Of note (as aforementioned) is a study by Iezzoni and colleagues in the U.S. as well as a recently published study by Lawler, Begley, and Lalor in Ireland. I look forward to reading these papers and reflecting on how the experiences of mothers with physical and mobility-limiting disabilities in Ontario compare and contrast to those in other countries.
Finally, I invite you to tune in at 3 pm on Wednesday, March 25th to my Health Care, Technology, and Place (HCTP) seminar. Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, HCTP is a strategic research and training initiative based at the University of Toronto that I am a part of. For my seminar, I will be providing an overview of my study to-date.
Today I was honoured to participate in a focus group of service providers for a project about reproductive health and parenting among women with disabilities and Deaf women led by Springtide Resources and the Centre for Independent Living in Toronto (CILT). Funded by the City of Toronto’s Access, Equity and Human Rights Investment Program, for this project Springtide and CILT are talking to service providers and moms and prospective moms with disabilities to learn about their experiences accessing services, what services are available, and what is not available in Toronto to develop resources and best practice guidelines. This project is very much related to the Strength-Based Parenting Initiative (SPIN).
So this update isn’t totally related to my study but I wanted to share an intriguing story and beautiful photos that I came across online today about a woman in the U.S. who initially planned to have a home water birth with a midwife but later, while she was on her way to have a c-section, ended up having her daughter vaginally, as she came out breech on the operating table.
I am happy to report that I am almost done transcribing the 9 interviews I have conducted for my study thus far and am looking forward to presenting some of preliminary analysis of findings next week at the AOM Conference (May 6th) and at the Women’s College Hospital Women’s Xchange Spring Event (May 8th).
In addition to this study, I also do work in the area of LGBTQ health, including some work on LGBTQ people’s experiences accessing services to become parents. This afternoon I saw a really beautiful documentary called Gayby Baby exploring the lives of children who have queer parents. I encourage you to watch this film. This film and my research remind me of how diverse families can be – and increasingly are – in our world today and how important it is to celebrate families in all of their configurations. We can learn a lot from families that are different from our (biological) families of origin.
– The Spinal Cord Injury Perinatal Interest Group, based in Vancouver, has developed some resources for women with spinal cord injuries. Check them out here! I am also happy to report *fingers crossed* that some resources regarding disability, pregnancy, labour, and birth will be available on the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Canada (SOGC) website soon. This is long overdue, especially as the U.S. equivalent (ACOG) has a number of resources on their website.
– Sunday is Mother’s Day! Happy Mother’s Day to my silly, beautiful, awesome mom, to all of the incredible women who have mothered me over the years, to my lovely friends and family members, including my sister-in-law Lee-Anne, who are celebrating Mother’s Day for the first time, to all of the LBTQ moms I know and learn so much from in my life and work, like Rachel Epstein (who fought to make sure that non-birth are moms legally recognized), and to Karen Hodge (in this video) and the other mothers with physical disabilities that I have had the pleasure of interviewing for my study!
– Speaking of Mother’s Day, I encourage you to check out the Moms Issues of GUTS, a digital, volunteer-run Canadian feminist magazine and blog. | 2019-04-25T12:30:00 | https://latarasoff.com/doctoral-research/study-updates/ |

A rendering of the proposed boathouse and esplanade.
The end of Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint marks the northern tip of Brooklyn, a spot on Newtown Creek with a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline. It’s prime waterfront real estate that residents and visitors would surely take advantage of, if only they could get to it–and if it wasn’t quite so polluted.
Industrial rubble and fences litter the banks of the creek, and the water itself is a soup of chemicals and bacteria. The scene is the result of an industrial legacy that spans more than two centuries, during which conservation took a distant back seat to economic development. Recent legal battles over pollution, and two sizable settlements, have inspired plans to revitalize Newtown Creek, starting with a community boathouse and creekfront esplanade.
Community advocates want to reclaim Newtown Creek by constructing a boathouse in the ground floor of the Greenpoint Manufacturing and Design Center (GMDC). The project would also include a repaired bulkhead and an esplanade along the waterfront. For boaters and the kayak-curious, it will mean storage space for non-motorized watercrafts and a training center for recreational boating. For all other visitors, it will provide a place to enjoy the waterfront, as the development would create a public gathering spot that is more of a park than a club.
If all goes according to plan, Greenpoint will have this new waterfront park by 2014.
The larger goal, according to the North Brooklyn Boat Club’s proposal, is to expand public open space, assist in the GMDC’s mission to retain and create new local jobs and create an educational facility for studying the creek and the surrounding area. It would also develop the northernmost piece of a waterfront public esplanade, which would eventually go from Manhattan Avenue Street End Park all the way down to South Williamsburg.
Dewey Thompson, president of the North Brooklyn Boat Club, was one of the first in the community to lobby for the project. “I always had an interest in trying to open up the waterways to community access,” he says.
Yet developing green spaces in North Brooklyn continues to be an uphill battle. Plans for a park at the Transportation Authority site on Commercial Street have been delayed indefinitely. The spot currently provides storage for MTA buses and emergency vehicles, and the Department of Transportation will not allow the MTA to relocate them to a city-owned site under the Williamsburg Bridge.
Brian Coleman, president of the GMDC, says that under these circumstances, the 374 feet of waterfront park that the boathouse project would provide are especially vital. “I see the extension of the park as a great opportunity for the Greenpoint community to take advantage of a relatively small amount of open space, particularly open space with access to the waterfront,” Coleman says.
The banks of the Newtown Creek were home to the country’s first kerosene and oil refineries, and by the end of the 19th century Standard Oil had more than 100 distilleries on either side of the waterway. There was little government regulation or oversight until relatively recently, leaving the area with the remnants of underground oil spills, hydrogen sulfide and undissolved oxygen, garbage and old tires.
As part of an agreement to bring the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant up to code in 2008, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) allocated $10 million dollars to environmental benefit projects.
“When I heard about the money and the very narrow definition of where it could go, I had this idea that the GMDC building would be a great place for a community boathouse,” said Thompson, the boat club president.
The City Parks Foundation (CPF) is in charge of administering $7 million of those funds, from which the boathouse project, with a projected budget of $3 to $5 million, will receive its share. CPF will keep 10 percent for administrative costs, a $700,000 cut. The Hudson River Foundation was allotted $1 million, and the remaining $2 million originally went to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. This was later redirected, and will now be administered by both the CPF and Hudson River Foundation.
A second pollution settlement was reached with Exxon Mobil in 2010. Promising $19.5 million to correct damage stemming from more than 2000 oil spills that polluted the Newtown Creek and surrounding areas over the years, the distribution of the settlement funds is in the infant stages. The money will be dispersed once an agency is assigned to handle the process, and then projects will be selected to receive funding.
After the first settlement was reached, the DEC reviewed community-proposed projects, which were required to meet specific environmental criteria such as installing green infrastructure, creating or improving open space and creating ecological stewardship through educational programs. Residents of Greenpoint, Maspeth, Long Island City and Blissville, the four communities most affected by the treatment plant, were invited to vote on several dozen of those projects. The DEC used that public input to decide which projects to fund.
Though the GMDC does not yet have cash in hand to start building, of all the projects in play the boathouse has the most traction. The number-two contender is a park in Dutch Kills, across the creek in Queens, a prospect that has been stalled because the landowner has not agreed to sell. Hot on its heels is a phytoremediation project, which would use floating plants to naturally remove contaminants in Newtown Creek. Sarah Durand, an associate professor of natural science at LaGuardia Community College, is leading the phytoremediation charge.
For now, with the boathouse and esplanade at least a year-and-a-half away from completion, the best way to explore the waterway is with the Newtown Creek Alliance’s resident historian Mitch Waxman. He guides tours along the creek, educating visitors about the thriving industrial engine that laid waste to the natural environment. The tour winds through the railways and warehouses of Long Island City, over the Greenpoint Avenue Bridge and through the Newtown Creek Nature Walk, a walled path that resembles the inside of a ship. It concludes on concrete steps that descend into the creek, with a dramatic view of the Manhattan skyline beyond.
On a recent Saturday tour, Waxman posed with tall buildings in the far background, industrial flotsam and jetsam surround him, and stopped to make a dramatic connection between the gleaming skyscrapers and the filthy water.

I really don’t understand why anyone would want to hang out next to, much less take leisure boats out into, such a gross polluted waterway. Shouldn’t they just install the phytoremediation and let that work for 5-10 (?) more years first?
Prog. people like parks. I live in Greenpoint, and I’d welcome a park, and the chance to go kayaking. That said, I do think the phytoremediation project is probably the smarter, more ethical choice. Can’t we do both? Please.
That sign essentially says it’s okay to eat eels caught in the creek, as long as you’re a dude over 15. But no fish. And it may be harmful. | 2019-04-24T04:01:34 | https://brooklynbased.com/2012/06/26/greenpoints-boathouse-on-troubled-waters/ |

After earning their first Big Ten conference win last Saturday against Rutgers at Williams Arena, the Minnesota Golden Gophers Men’s basketball team got their second win of the conference schedule Saturday.
The Illinois Fighting Illini came into the game 13-7 (3-4 in the Big Ten) and without several of its best players, including a new walk-on former manager. The Gophers (13-8 (2-6)) were able to treat the home fans to a 79-71 victory.
Gopher guard Carlos Morris started off hot, with 13 of the team’s first 17 points. Morris finished with 16 points on 4 of 4 shooting. The score at halftime was 33-30.
The Gophers pushed their lead as high as 15 in the second half as senior center Mo Walker upped his career high in rebounds with a 12-point, 13-rebound game. The defensive pressure put on by Minnesota coach Richard Pitino’s full court press didn’t result in too many turnovers for the Illini (10), but did lead to a shooting clip of only .377.
Andre Hollins has also upped his play recently, averaging nearly 27 points over the last three games. He scored 28 points Saturday after a streak of four single-digit scoring games earlier in the season. Hollins’ shooting from three so far in the season (.434) is a few percentage points higher than his total shooting percentage (.429).
With 10 minutes left in the game, the Gophers stole the momentum with a Charles Buggs dunk on a bounce pass on the fast break. Hollins hit one three-pointer with about five minutes left that seemed to seal the Illini’s fate.
Illinois made a final push in the closing minutes to tighten the score, but it wasn’t enough for an Illinois team that has been decimated by injuries. Guards Kendrick Nunn and Malcolm Hill led Illinois with 18 points apiece.
Gophers freshman Gaston Diedhiou came in for one minute in his second appearance of the season since gaining academic eligibility.
Halftime also had its own festivities as former Gophers center Randy Breuer’s number 45 was retired in a ceremony at mid-court. The 7-foot-3 Breuer was on the Gophers during 1979-1983 and spent 11 seasons in the NBA after averaging 20.4 points per game as a senior.
The Gophers next play at Penn State January 28. | 2019-04-20T00:41:51 | http://minnesotaconnected.com/arts-entertainment/sports/gophers-men-adds-second-conference-win_414019/ |

YPRES - David Doughty - Australian Stories - Tribute To ANZACs A TRUBUTE TO ALL OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS THROUGHOUT THE AGES.
Historical facts on WWI in the Ypres region The formation of the front near Ypres (Ieper) On 4th August 1914 the invasion of Belgium by the German armies began.
The Belgian field army, the British and French troops retreated on the line Ypres-Ijzer. The German 4th Cavalry Corps, which had entered Ypres, was forced back to the Ieper-Komen canal. Franco-British forces guarded the city to the north and east. The armies were entrenched from the North Sea to Switzerland. The Ypres Salient was formed.
First Battle of Ypres (1914) The Germans launched their great offensive. Several fierce battles were fought at Mesen, Langmark, Geluveld and Nonnenbossen. When the fighting died down on 22nd November, 58,155 British soldiers had been killed or wounded, or were missing. On that day, the shelling of the city began. The Cloth Hall and many other buildings were destroyed or badly damaged.
Second Battle of Ypres (22 April – 25 May 1915) British troops stormed Hill 60 after exploding five mines. In May 1915, the hill had to be abandoned again. On 22 April, gas was used for the first time. 60,260 British soldiers were killed, wounded or missing. The remainder of 1915 and 1916 was passed in trench warfare or local attacks.
Third Battle of Ypres (31 July – 10 November 1917) All five AIF Divisions were engaged in the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele, between July and November 1917. It was really a series of battles, the most significant for the AIF being the victories of Menin Road, Polygon Wood and Broodseinde. Much of the fighting took place in mud so deep that wounded men drowned in it. For the first time, all the AIF divisions fought side by side at Broodseinde. The Australian military reputation for courage and military skill grew even brighter but in eight weeks of fighting, the AIF suffered 38,000 casualties.
Battle of Passchendaele (Passendale), 9-12 October 1917.
For the AIF, the battle of Passchendaele began on 9 October 1917 when the 2nd Division formed the flank for an attack by the British 66 the Division. The 2nd Division's front was about 800 metres long with its left flanked with the Ypres-Roulers railway line. Its ultimate objective was higher ground known as The Keiburg, a spur on the Australian right flank from which the Germans controlled their battle operations. It was a desperate fight and the Australians suffered many casualties. German resistance was particularly fierce at two positions: at Assyria, a large barn turned into a fortress, and at the railway cutting. The 5th Brigade captured the cutting but at great cost. The Australians were forced to withdraw that night. The second phase of the battle began on 12 October with the 3rd Division and the New Zealand Division attacking side by side. The task of capturing Passchendaele was given to the 38th Battalion. According to the plan, the capture would be complete by 12.11am that night. One unit carried an Australian flag to be planted in Passchendaele. After a night of rain and gas-shelling, the attackers went in after inadequate British shellfire. After much confusion, great loss - and great gallantry - the attack came to a halt. However, about 20 Australians, mostly of the 38th Battalion, actually reached Passchendaele church. Completely isolated and unsupported, they were forced to withdraw to their own lines. Meanwhile, the 4th Division which had been in support was also under great pressure and suffered heavily before pulling back. The attack had failed. That night, dead and wounded of the 3rd Division lay in the mud of Ravebeek valley. Others lay huddled in captured pillboxes. Stretcher bearers sent out to rescue these men found other Australians unwounded but stuck fast in the mud. The 34th Battalion's MO, Major G. R.C.Clarke, and members of his staff were killed while dressing the wounded. Corporal W. A. Murray gave up his place in a queue of wounded waiting for bearers and was never heard of again. The 3rd Division suffered 3,199 casualties in the twenty-four hours of the battle.
Battle of Polygon Wood (26-28 September 1917)The battle began at 5.30 am on 26 September 1917, when the British and Dominion guns opened on a 10 kilometre front. The intention was to build on the gains made during the Battle of Menin Road. The AIF 4th and 5th Divisions were responsible for a 2500-metre sector and one of their main objectives was Polygon Wood Butts, the target on the Ypres district rifle range. It was now a small plateau from which the Germans dominated the nearby ground with machine-guns. The 14th Brigade captured the position and then a second objective of several strong points. Gallantry and good leadership held the advance together at critical moments. At one time, men of the 14th Battalion ran into their own bursting shells and were badly shaken until steadied by Captain Albert Jacka, of Gallipoli, Pozières and Bullecourt fame. Private Patrick Bugden of the 31st Battalion led a small party to attack German machine-gun posts. He captured the posts with bombs and bayonet and then, single-handedly, charged some Germans who had captured a corporal. On five occasions during the next few days, he risked his life to rescue wounded men but his luck ran out and he was killed. The 4th Division's battalions captured all their objectives - woods, blockhouses and trenches - and suffered 1,717 casualties. The even more heavily engaged 5th Division suffered 5,471 dead and wounded in the period 26-28 September. Polygon Wood today, though smaller than in 1917, is still large. The remains of three German pillboxes captured by the Australians lie deep among the trees but few trench lines remain. The Butte is still prominent and mounted on top of it is the AIF 5th Division memorial, the usual obelisk. It faces the Butte's military cemetery at the other end of which is a New Zealand memorial to the missing of the sector.
Hill 60 One of the most famous positions on the Western Front, Hill 60, had been formed in the 19th century from the soil taken from a deep railway cutting. It made a mound of 230 metres by 190 metres consisting of layers of clay, sand and quicksand.
The hill's height of 60 metres gave it immense strategic importance in that flat country and both sides continually fought for it. The British tunnelled into the hill in 1915 and 1916 to plant mines which killed many Germans when they exploded. The 1st Australian Tunnelling Company under Major J. Douglas Henry took over the tunnels and mines on 9 November 1916. The Company's primary job was to keep intact two great mines being prepared for a major assault to break the enemy front. The galleries' drainage and ventilation was poor and to improve them the Australians sank a metal-lined shaft 130 metres from a main junction. Then they drove an additional gallery under the German line, about 400 metres away. The shaft was coded Sydney, the drive leading from it Melbourne, while defensive galleries were called Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Newcastle and Hobart.
A letter home from lieutenant Hugh Butterworth of the 9th Battalion, Rifle Brigade. In it, he displays a characteristic joviality and dry wit despite the dangers of his situation. Trenches Sunday, June 20th, 1915. 3.15am What a night! We left camp at 7, marched through Ypres, the most impressive sight I’ve ever seen, the whole place is absolutely gone. Every house is smashed to bits, absolutely a wonderful sight and very awesome. Well – at about 9 or so I picked up a couple of guides (we were marching by platoons), Scotchmen, and they brought us up to these trenches. We got gassed just as we came up. We were entering the most complicated trenches imaginable and we got the gas good and proper. My men were distinctly panicy and I had to mix profanity and jest in even quantities, slight preference given to profanity. Every platoon in the British army seemed to be mixed up. Fortunately we had respirators and good smoke helmets so we got through. It’s rotten, though. After a bit I collected my platoon, (I reached my position the first time with one corporal and one rifleman) and got them told off in their places and then things started. We had continual shell-fire, shrapnel and gas-bombs and some very heavy rifle and machine-gun fire away to the left and right. So far, my platoon is unhurt but we’ve had some close calls. I had a sand-bag whipped off just above my head at about 1.15 this morning. Bullets of course whizz the whole time. The chief objection to this trench is the fact that it is more or less littered with dead, and if you dig you invariably hit some corpse. It’s quiet at least now and I’m penning this. It’s a gruesome business, but perhaps we get used to it. One doesn’t seem to have a dog’s chance when things are moving. Oh! Inter alia I was knocked clean over by a shell coming in this morning but was unhurt – a quaint sensation it was too. Why it didn’t slay me I know not. I will continue anon if I am still cumbering the planet. Au revoir. I must take a turn round the trench and see that all is serene.

Could reports of subterranean tremors beneath the city of Oslo predict that a catastrophic earthquake is imminent? With the sequel to The Wave (LFF 2015), Director John Andreas Andersen creates another tension-filled, high-stakes geo-thriller.
Several years after heroically saving scores from the tsunami he predicted, geologist Kristian Eikjord (Kristoffer Joner) is a recluse, haunted by thoughts of the missing and those he couldn’t save. Eikjord has lost everything: his drive, his family and, perhaps, his mind. But a tip-off from a former colleague about unusual seismic activity in Oslo sees Eikjord reinvigorated, desperate to find whether the capital, where his wife and children now live, is under threat. With truly spectacular effects and exceptional performances, this is the disaster movie you really need to see on the big screen. | 2019-04-19T10:22:53 | http://norwegianarts.org.uk/event/the-quake/ |
Lazio travels to Cyprus to decide this Group H fixture in the UEFA Europa League. The group is comparatively toothless as of now, as teams that qualified to the next stage, and the ones that failed to do so are already known.
The Italian club holds the second spot in group standings with nine points from their four matches. They won three of their matches and lost one. Lazio scored eight goals and conceded seven in their campaign.
The team from Cyprus occupies the third spot with just one point on the board from their four fixtures. They lost three of their matches and were able to draw one. Apollon scored five goals and conceded nine.
Lazio drew their last match they played. It was a tough fixture against AC Milan. The draw must be tasting like a win for them, as the equalizer came in the 90+4th minute of the game. Milan looked as if they were about to take the three points, but Correa had other plans.
Apollon recorded a good victory in their last match as part of their domestic league campaign. The final scoreline was 3-0. Pereyra registered a brace for his team. Later in the second half, the hosts added one more.
Lazio holds an unbeaten record against Apollon. Except for one drawn match, Lazio has won all their games against this opponent.
Apollon was winless in four of their last six ties.
Lazio is on a four-match unbeaten streak.
Apollon has lost two of their last three matches at home.
Lazio is on a three-match unbeaten run on the road.
The Italian team seems to have this match in the bag. They have never lost a game against Apollon. To be precise, except for one drawn game, Lazio has won every single fixture against this team from Cyprus.
There’s also the added psychological advantage for Lazio. They have already qualified for the next stage, and Apollon has failed to do so. As far as they are concerned, this match is a lost cause. It would be better for them to concentrate in the ongoing league campaign.
Lazio is on a four-match unbeaten streak. On the road, they are unbeaten in last three attempts. Lazio will win this match, and both the halves.

The Beatles, eh? What to say? Well to be honest it took me a long time to *get* them. They’ve always been around, always been part of my conciousness. Even if I didn’t know they were “The Beatles” those songs were – for someone growing up in the seventies – something that was kind-of taken for granted. They were just there.
It was only a couple of years ago that I dug beyond the obvious starting point (the 1962-1966 – Red – and 1967-1970 – Blue – compilations). And I must admit to being pleasantly surprised. The rawness and simplicity of the earlier recordings was a revelation, as was the sheer diversity of their later records. For me the transition between those two eras is probably my favourite – particularly the Rubber Soul and Revolver albums. Branching out from those early roots, experimenting and diversifying, but still keeping things tight and concise.
Dear Prudence is a John Lennon Beatles song – written by and sung by him, apparently written in India about Mia Farrow’s sister. It comes from the sprawling White Album. And to be honest it’s not my favourite. The Beatles version – for me – feels a bit thin, feels like it could do with a bit more “oomph”, a bit more substance. I’m guessing that is in part because my first exposure to the song was through the 1983 version by post-punk pioneers Siouxsie and the Banshees. A much more driven, rock version, with a maybe more obvious psychedelic feel to it, and with – to be honest – a far stronger vocal performance than on the original, it is always this version that is in my head when I think of or play this song.
The song sheet (below) was a bit of a faff! I found a number of guitar chord sheets for the song online, and also in my Beatles Songbook, most of which – to my ears – never did the song justice. Eventually I came across this, and used it as the basis for this version. What I really like is the repeating chord progression through the verses. I really don’t know what most of those chords are called – I’m sure that C/Bb, C/A and C/Ab aren’t right(!) but they are basically a C with a Bb/A/Ab on the E string. Just follow the chord diagrams on the sheet and you’ll get the feel. It sounds good to me. Enjoy!

Up by more than 350% since August 2012, shares of Netflix may soon make it back up to their 2011 pre-crash highs.
When a company begins to either create a new market niche and/or completely overwhelm its existing competition in terms of market share, its stock price will typically start to go into a long-term rally, one that seems almost superhuman in terms of its ability to shrug off bad economic and political news, always able to quickly rebound and move on up to ever higher highs. Since the summer of 2012, Netflix (NFLX) has manifested just that kind of price action, and from the looks of its daily chart, still appears to have what it takes to meet or even exceed its 2011 high-water mark of 304.79. Here's a closer look now.
Figure 1. Netflix's weekly 'cup and handle' pattern resolved with a massive bullish breakout; the stock now appears to have its sights set on making a possible run up to its July 2011 high water mark of 304.79.
1. Positive medium-term money flow.
3. Solid long-term sales/earnings growth prospects.
4. Superior relative strength vs. the major US stock indexes.
Interestingly, the huge cup & handle formation (Figure 1) of 2012/2013 has played out in near-textbook fashion, with a substantial amount of gains for NFLX since the pattern resolved itself with a massive weekly breakout in late April 2013. Another item of interest is the crude entry/exit trigger mechanism overlaid on the weekly chart; the red channel boundaries depict the seven-period simple moving average (SMA) of the weekly highs and lows. A buy is signaled on a break above the red line and price is above the blue 21-week SMA and an exit is triggered when prices break back below the lower red channel line. The system can also go short on a break below the lower red channel line as long as prices are below the 21-week SMA at the time of the break. It's a dirt-simple system, one that you can create for free in virtually all modern charting packages, by the way.
Figure 2. NFLX is far outpacing the gains of its S&P 500 index peers (against the .SPX) over the past 26 weeks.
Graphic provided by: TradeStation Radar Screen.
NFLX has the highest 26-week relative strength ranking vs. the .SPX of all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 index, and given the massive upward momentum in this stock, the safest way to play it is to drop down to a daily chart, buying every two-period RSI pullback to support until the July 2011 highs have been hit. You could even use a 60- to 120- minute chart and do the same thing, looking to hold for two to four-day swing moves higher.
Conservative traders can also try the covered call route, but it might be wise to wait for a bit more of a pullback before looking to put on a CC as the stock is a bit toppy looking on its daily chart at the moment. Use a call option with at least four to eight weeks of time value and consider using the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) as your trailing stop loss for the life of the position, risking no more than 1-2% of your account value, no matter how bullish you are on NFLX at this time. Trade wisely until we meet here again. | 2019-04-19T12:25:50 | http://technical.traders.com/tradersonline/display.asp?art=7528 |

Ongoing calls for a rejection of “intellectual fads” and a return to “more traditional teaching methods” seem to be ramping up in the education debate.
But if these advocates were talking about rejecting advances over the past sixty years in medicine, no one would take them seriously. So why then is it acceptable to champion simplistic and archaic methods when it comes to education?
We should never, and in fact we cannot, return to the three Rs of reading, writing, and arithmetic for a couple of very simple reasons.
First, the world is not the same as it was in the 1950s, and the kinds of employment and life opportunities that young people will be facing when they leave our schools are immeasurably different to those of their grandparents and parents.
Second, the enormous impacts of technologies on our lives must be taken into account. The wringing of hands, lamenting the poor grammar and spelling of young people, and calling for a return to the basics simply does not reflect the fact that the world has moved on.
A large body of research into how changing times and new technologies require new literacies has been informing a much broader approach to literacy teaching and learning in our schools.
This does not mean that reading and writing are abandoned. On the contrary, it means that reading and writing are expanded far beyond the limited literacy of printed books and paper to a much more diverse range of texts and information on computers, smart phones, e-books, and the like.
The 3 Rs will not help young people to use computers efficiently, search the internet and access electronic texts for information and then have effective tools to analyse, critique and synthesise that information. Nor will a “back-to-basics” approach prepare our young people for an increasingly volatile and uncertain world, where adaptability to change, resilience and innovation are going to be more important than whether they can use cursive handwriting or remember their times tables.
There is no doubt that Australia has slipped in its comparative performance on some international standardised tests, including the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). These results have been discussed extensively in the education community.
However, making reductionist calls for a return to some fabled “good old days” ignores the dangers of relying on simple standardised performance measurements to assess complex social issues.
Definitions of literacy have undergone radical transformations over the last century. In 1913, literacy would have been defined as the reading (decoding) and writing (encoding) of written/printed text, and judgements of literacy levels would be made according to this simple definition.
In 2013, this definition no longer has relevance for the complex and hybrid forms of expression and meaning making that new technologies make possible.
Interestingly, while literacy has seemed to be in perpetual crisis, over that same time, our capacities for communicating with other people have not diminished. Indeed, more than ever before, literacy is seen as an inherently social practice rather than a discrete set of skills.
Measuring the complexities of literacy through blunt standardised instruments such as those used in the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an impossible task, given the pencil and paper nature of the tests being at odds with technologies-infused experiences of young people.
Given the likelihood that we will have a coalition government come September, it seems timely to consider a couple of the main arguments presented by Shadow Minister for Education, Christopher Pyne.
Under a coalition government, the focus would be shifted towards bringing back traditional teacher-centred approaches and values, with an emphasis on didactic methods, knowledge valued over skills, and traditional curriculum returning to the classroom.
The very notion of values in education is troubling as it conjures up questions of whose values? Furthermore, the rejection of decades of rigorous education research in order to embrace outmoded methods seems ridiculous.
On the question of prizing knowledge over skills, one only has to consider the information processing power of the humble smart phone sitting in our pockets or bags, which contains the capacity to access more information than we could ever hope to store in our memory by rote learning, to see the pointlessness in such a cause.
This debate in fact brings to mind the allegory of the Sabre-tooth Curriculum – a story which is often brought up during teacher training.
Just as it was ridiculous for the wise old men to insist on sabre-tooth tiger-scaring after all the tigers died out, it is absurd for us to consider returning to a mythical golden era of education.

I had been considering getting my genome analyzed by 23andMe, the only commercial, non-prescription, and affordable source for genome analysis. But what they do isn't exactly sequencing, it's genotyping (and it's significantly less expensive). While sequencing reads every one of your 3 billion nucleotide base pairs, genotyping only examines the ones we know are different in different people. It's a little shortcut, see, but the differences they know to look for are based on a relatively small group of people whose genomes have been completely sequenced. The Personal Genome Project aims to identify more differences (called polymorphisms) by examining a larger sample of completely sequenced genomes.
So when I heard about the Personal Genome Project (over a year ago), I signed up! It's an involved process, including creating and handing over access to a Google Health profile (which would be a lot more revealing if it actually contained any health information besides my age, height, and heart rate). My personal genome profile (which includes health information will be (is) public, but without my name or identifying information associated. At some point I will also need to travel to Boston to give a blood sample and a skin sample.
I don't pretend that I'll gain too much exciting information from having my genome sequenced. It will almost certainly say that I am likely of European descent, and I have a higher than average susceptibility to skin cancer. That's not really news. It may reveal an unexpected mutation, but I've of course been cautioned not to use the information in lieu of medical care.
No, I'm mainly doing it because I think it would be cool to have my genome sequence in digital form (maybe I'll carry it around on a USB flash drive). Also because when I was in 10th grade I wanted to work on the Human Genome Project, and realized that by the time I was qualified to do so, it would be complete. (And it was; the project was announced complete while I was in college.) This is my way of participating in the next step of human genomics research. | 2019-04-19T01:26:51 | http://blog.ericachampion.com/2010/10/personal-genome-project.html |

HARTFORD (CN) – A public school district failed to protect a girl from five boys who sexually assaulted her, and a sixth who photographed the attack and passed the pictures around at school, the girl’s mother says in Federal Court.
The mother says her daughter, 15, was an 8th grader at Polson Middle School and a freshman at Daniel Hand High School during the incidents involved in the complaint.
“A sixth male student at Polson Middle School took one or more compromising photographs of Mary Doe (hereinafter, ‘the photographer’) during the assault and showed the photographs to other students at Polson Middle School during school hours,” the mom says.
She says the school board let one of the assailants register for Daniel Hand High School in the fall of 2010, attend classes and participate in athletic events for at least three weeks until he voluntarily withdrew in response to repeated demands by the plaintiff.
The mother says the school board failed to protect her daughter from her assailants, so she had to find another school for her outside the town of Madison.
She seeks damages for Title IX violations, and the cost of her daughter’s alternate education program.The Does are represented by William Wilson II with Halloran and Sage. | 2019-04-22T12:18:42 | https://www.courthousenews.com/mom-says-school-dithered-after-sex-assault/ |

Don’t know what re-sparked my interest in Dragon Ball but I suddenly decided to hunt down Dragon Ball Super episodes. It’s no DBZ when it comes to epicness (at least not yet – about 30 episodes in) but I’ve been enjoying it :D I still remember FREAKING out when Goku turned Super Saiyan the first time – to the point of tears, not kidding. Super Saiyan God just doesn’t feel as epic.
It is better than Dragon Ball GT, though!
Enjoy Scene 12 – “On the Seashore”!
I was worried the cliffhanger would be the bit with jumping into the boat. I started getting the impression the episode was a little long, but it ended promptly after. I can’t tell if that’s a good or bad thing.
Greybane vs Cross? Unless Samuel is unable to keep Andrius in check, wouldn’t Greybane just clean the floor with Cross?
Adding the last spice into the mix?
You can beat him Greybane!

2. A feature-rich FREE update called “The Devil’s in the Detail” which introduces our most detail-rich data screens yet plus new features like run wide, corner cutting and weight stripping.
We’ve been listening to what you’ve had to say on the Steam Forums, Reddit, Facebook and Twitter, and, from what we’re hearing, you want to hear more from us. Well, good!

Phew, he did. We don’t have a release date yet – we are currently working very hard on getting all of this together and tested, but we’ll keep you updated. Rest assured we’re working on it! What we can say is that the free update will roll out to all users at the same time we release the DLC. | 2019-04-26T13:42:52 | http://www.motorsportmanager.com/fr/content/new-video-upcoming-dlc-and-free-update-detailed |
The cask, drenched with vintage Sherry, imposes a powerful and deep richness. Antique tea leaves, salted caramel, and oven dried strawberries in addition to notes of moist Charistmas cake and ample tannins. This is the epitome of an epic vintage Sherry cask.
For such a heavily Sherried cask, this is astoundingly clean, full strength but rounded by creamy Sherry, prunes and rose water. Figs and strawberry jam also ooze out with bitter chocolate coated ginger and cinnamon dust that somehow ease the explosiveness..
The tannins slowly take over in the finish, nursing the dark-fruits-caressed syrupy finish..
An 1990s bottling that embraces the extravagance of big vintage Sherry, and in turn imparts wonders.. serves well as a deeply satisfying dram to finish off a long night of incredible adventures.. | 2019-04-24T10:56:01 | https://whisknick.com/2018/11/08/dram-review-cadenheads-linkwood-glenlivet-special-individual-cask-bottling/ |

The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, first proposed in 1915 by black veterans of the U.S. Civil War, opens a century later on September 24.
The museum’s exploration of U.S. history through the lens of African Americans is woven into its very construction. The building’s tiered shape resembles a Yoruban crown from West Africa, a nod to the ancestral homeland of many African Americans who came to North America on slave ships. And its exterior is clad in bronze-colored metal that recalls the ironwork of enslaved blacksmiths in 19th-century Charleston and New Orleans.
From the new structure, one can look west across Washington’s National Mall to the Lincoln Memorial steps where in March 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. addressed 250,000 people gathered for one of the largest civil rights rallies in U.S. history.
Historian Lonnie Bunch, the museum’s founding director, recently spoke with NBC-4 TV as the museum was undergoing final preparations for its debut. The museum, he said, illuminates a vital part of America’s story and offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be American.
Twelve permanent exhibitions are spread across the museum’s below- and above-ground levels, taking visitors on a journey through the eras of slavery and segregation, the civil rights movement of the 1950s–1960s and the achievements of African Americans in all walks of life.
The sweeping narrative is made possible, in part, by the scale of the new museum. Housing some 34,000 artifacts in its 37,000 square meters, the building is twice the size of the nearby Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
Starting below ground, visitors will walk from slavery to freedom, Bunch said. They’ll encounter a reconstructed slave cabin from South Carolina’s Edisto Island and hear audio recordings based on actual slave chronicles. They’ll see abolitionist Harriet Tubman’s hymnal (circa 1876) and, further on, a segregation-era railway car (circa 1920), a 1940s airplane used to train black pilots during World War II, and a dress made in the 1950s by seamstress Rosa Parks, a civil rights heroine.
Ascending to the museum’s upper levels, visitors will find galleries covering contributions of African Americans to sports, the arts, science, business, music and literature. The collection highlights jazz legend Louis Armstrong’s trumpet, dresses worn by singers Marian Anderson and Ella Fitzgerald, rock star Chuck Berry’s red Cadillac and memorabilia from sports champions Jesse Owens, Muhammad Ali, and Venus and Serena Williams.
But the past is only part of the story. “The museum is as much about today and tomorrow as it is about yesterday,” Bunch said. To that end, curators also examine Barack Obama’s presidency, the Black Lives Matter movement and other contemporary issues. | 2019-04-25T19:18:50 | https://share.america.gov/african-american-museum-holds-story-for-us-all/ |
Roy Moore, he who “allegedly” hit on actual children as a grown man, he who is totes cool with slavery as long as America is “great”, he who maybe doesn’t understand the swearing in process enough to explain it to his campaign staff, was narrowly defeated by Doug Jones a lot of determined men and women of color who got out the vote in spite of active voter suppression at the polls. Black men and women made up nearly 30% of the voting population, and overwhelmingly cast votes for Jones (92-ish% and 97-ish%, respectively). Black women in particular showed up, and were 17% of voters on Tuesday. If you want to thank them with more than just words, this article suggests ways you can do so.
The Federal Communications Commission just overturned the net neutrality rules in place to keep a fair and open internet. While there is a slim, slim chance that this could be overturned by Congressional Review – and you should definitely do something to encourage that – there is a preliminary list of all the Congresspeople who 100% sold us out at the very end, and for how much. As a person on the internet who likes writing for y’all, and who can’t afford to pay more than she already is for the privilege of doing so, feel free to contact any of your representatives you find on the list and let them know how you feel about their chances in 2018 and 2020.
More travel-related writing tomorrow; I hope you spend some time talking about these issues today. | 2019-04-25T09:42:19 | https://browngirlonthenst.com/ |

It’s an ugly truth that in life, time is money, and by attending Tony Harmer’s ‘Content Velocity with Adobe Creative Cloud’ seminar last Thursday, I was led to understand that how, as a designer, it was possible to create great content even faster.
There are numerous ways to sharpen your skills these days, in any type of industry; whether you choose to read a book, watch “how-to” videos on YouTube, or learn from colleagues and clients. There’s always an opportunity to learn more. Listening to other people’s tips and tricks is always a privilege for me – from countless Monday morning lectures at my university to professional conference events and exhibitions.
In 2017, where speed is a priority for many industries, it becomes vital to teach yourself how to work fast and steady. It is so important today more than ever as we have been presented with the “I want it now” attitude where work is at such high demand, at a fast pace – gone are the days where people would wait 28 days for delivery. I am only 8 months into my career and this seminar enabled me to understand that to achieve a more efficient way of working, you need to learn to design fast and maintain a good work ethic to produce great outputs. But how?
Being efficient isn’t about rushing to be first to the post – it’s about being smart with your time. We all are aware that there are countless distractions and temptations stealing, demanding your time and effort. Growing to be a fast designer means learning how to guard your time. For example, ‘barcoding’ your time during the day, something I learnt only last week from an associate here at 100%Open, can be particularly counterproductive. This ‘involves the habit of managing as many things as you can in a day, working in hourly chunks without ever really having the time to focus on one project with any real intensity’.(Sticky Wisdom, WhatIf!, 2002) Barcoding time is a process that kills creativity, as do all these teasing distractions surrounding you. By ensuring more time is spent being creative and innovative, we can guarantee our time and work is achieving its maximum potential. Guard your time, it’s essential.
Something that Harmer was clear about in his talk, is that creatives are thoroughly aware that creativity takes time. ‘Non-creatives’ however often are not, hence the “I want it now” demands. Harmer highlighted that ‘ideation is something that is impossible to stick on a Gantt chart’. Yet, because the world and industries around us are moving at an ever faster pace, it is more important than ever to figure out how to deliver high quality creative content faster and cheaper than before, without sacrificing quality. “Pixel-pushing perfection” can eat up your time, and it’s a constant battle to determine whether something is “good enough” or requires more work. Deliberating on layout decisions can also eat up your time. Left, or right? Bold or italic? Aligned or centered? This proves the importance of collaboration within businesses – and open innovation. For me, simply by having a design colleague to the side of me to deliberate with makes our process much more efficient. In order to maintain a high standard of work, we ensure our communication and motivation is strong and efficient – this therefore, establishes a much more pragmatic way of making decisions and creating work.
For me, Tony Harmer’s event highlighted the importance of admitting that you still have things to learn and that sometimes the very best tools are right in front of you – you just might not have noticed them before. This could be an app in the Creative Cloud, or a colleague that sits two desks away. There are tips and tricks that can make your life a lot easier if you put in the time and effort to go out and learn about them. The wonderful thing about the web and design resources is we believe that everything is at our fingertips – and this seminar showed me just how true that is. I feel privileged to have been able to take a day out of studio life to attend something that opened my eyes up to a new way of seeing. I now feel a lot more knowledgeable in how to progress as a designer and to ultimately, continue to work hard, but in a smarter way.
I heartily endorse all of this. Nicely put Lily.
Great observations, Lily! I love how you approach all new information with curiosity and keep reminding us old farts what ‘openness’ really looks like. | 2019-04-20T16:45:50 | https://www.100open.com/hidden-tools-at-my-fingertips/ |

The White House announced today that Rear Admiral Douglas Fears has been appointed to serve as White House homeland security adviser and counterterrorism adviser on the national security council staff, reporting to the president and National Security Adviser John Bolton.
The details: Fears "will serve as the President’s Homeland Security Advisor and my point person on an array of vital tasks ranging from overseeing the NSC Cybersecurity Directorate to coordinating the interagency efforts during disaster response,” according to the White House. The appointment came almost two months after former homeland security adviser Tom Bossert abruptly resigned following Bolton's appointment to lead the national security team. | 2019-04-26T02:54:59 | https://www.axios.com/trump-taps-adm-douglas-fears-as-homeland-security-adviser-7d02740f-95bb-427d-aa41-4dc9b747926a.html |
After a good night’s sleep, George looked a little better today and was well enough for us to break him out of the hospital for a push around the park.
He’s still very lethargic and in discomfort between pain killer doses but he’s down to one washout a day and the gut-targeting antibiotics are working.
His consultant will see him tomorrow morning and will hopefully give us an idea on when we’ll be able to take him home – when the antibiotics course is finished and he’s drinking and feeding himself again basically.
He’s a tough little man and loved more than ever. | 2019-04-24T14:51:17 | https://georgejonessite.com/2017/10/15/hospital-update/ |
