Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee, OM, KBE, FRS, FREng, FRSA (born 8 June 1955), also known as "TimBL," is a British computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. He made a proposal for an information management system in March 1989, and he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet sometime around mid November.
Berners-Lee is the director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the Web's continued development. He is also the founder of the World Wide Web Foundation, and is a senior researcher and holder of the Founders Chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Centre for Collective Intelligence.
In 2004, Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work. In April 2009, he was elected a foreign associate of the United States National Academy of Sciences. He was honoured as the "Inventor of the World Wide Web" during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, in which he appeared in person, working at a NeXT Computer at the London Olympic Stadium. He tweeted "This is for everyone", which was instantly spelled out in LCD lights attached to the chairs of the 80,000 people in the audience.
Berners-Lee was born in southwest London, England, on 8 June 1955, one of four children born to Conway Berners-Lee and Mary Lee Woods. His parents worked on the first commercially-built computer, the Ferranti Mark 1. He attended Sheen Mount Primary School, and then went on to attend south west London's independent Emanuel School from 1969 to 1973. A keen trainspotter as a child, he learnt about electronics from tinkering with a model railway. He studied at Queen's College, Oxford, from 1973 to 1976, where he received a first-class degree in physics.
After graduation he worked as an engineer at the telecommunications company Plessey in Poole. In 1978 he joined D. G. Nash in Dorset where he helped create type-setting software for printers.
Berners-Lee worked as an independent contractor at CERN from June to December 1980. While there, he proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers. To demonstrate, he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE.
After leaving CERN in late 1980, he went to work at John Poole's Image Computer Systems, Ltd, in Bournemouth, England. He ran the company's technical side for three years. The project he worked on was a real-time remote procedure call which gave him experience in computer networking. In 1984, he returned to CERN as a fellow.
Berners-Lee wrote his initial proposal in March 1989, and in 1990, with the help of Robert Cailliau (with whom he shared the 1995 ACM Software System Award), produced a revision which was accepted by his manager, Mike Sendall. He used similar ideas to those underlying the ENQUIRE system to create the World Wide Web, for which he designed and built the first Web browser. This also functioned as an editor ( WorldWideWeb, running on the NeXTSTEP operating system), and the first Web server, CERN HTTPd (short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon).
" Mike Sendall buys a NeXT cube for evaluation, and gives it to Tim [Berners-Lee]. Tim's prototype implementation on NeXTStep is made in the space of a few months, thanks to the qualities of the NeXTStep software development system. This prototype offers WYSIWYG browsing/authoring! Current Web browsers used in "surfing the Internet" are mere passive windows, depriving the user of the possibility to contribute. During some sessions in the CERN cafeteria, Tim and I try to find a catching name for the system. I was determined that the name should not yet again be taken from Greek mythology. Tim proposes "World-Wide Web". I like this very much, except that it is difficult to pronounce in French..." by Robert Cailliau, 2 November 1995.
In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the W3C at MIT. It comprised various companies that were willing to create standards and recommendations to improve the quality of the Web. Berners-Lee made his idea available freely, with no patent and no royalties due. The World Wide Web Consortium decided that its standards should be based on royalty-free technology, so that they could easily be adopted by anyone.
In December 2004, he accepted a chair in Computer Science at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, England, to work on the Semantic Web.
In a Times article in October 2009, Berners-Lee admitted that the initial pair of slashes ("//") in a web address were actually "unnecessary". He told the newspaper that he could easily have designed URLs not to have the slashes. "There you go, it seemed like a good idea at the time," he said in his lighthearted apology.
Berners-Lee is one of the pioneer voices in favour of Net Neutrality, and has expressed the view that ISPs should supply "connectivity with no strings attached," and should neither control nor monitor customers' browsing activities without their expressed consent. He advocates the idea that net neutrality is a kind of human network right: "Threats to the Internet, such as companies or governments that interfere with or snoop on Internet traffic, compromise basic human network rights."
Berners-Lee is President of the Open Data Institute.
In 1994 he became one of only six members of the World Wide Web Hall of Fame.
In 1995 he won the Kilby Foundation's "Young Innovator of the Year" Award.
In 1995 he received also the Software System Award from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
In the 1997 Queen's Birthday Honours he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) "for services to global computer networking".
In 1998 he was awarded with an honorary doctorate from the University of Essex.
In 1999, Time Magazine named Berners-Lee one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century.
In 2001, he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In 2002, he was named in the BBC's list of the 100 Greatest Britons following a UK-wide vote.
In 2003 he was awarded The Royal Photographic Society's Progress Medal and Honorary Fellowship (HonFRPS) in recognition of any invention, research, publication or other contribution which has resulted in an important advance in the scientific or technological development of photography or imaging in the widest sense.
On 15 April 2004, he was named as the first recipient of Finland's Millennium Technology Prize, for inventing the World Wide Web. The cash prize, worth one million euros (about £892,000, or US$1.3 million, as of Sept 2011), was awarded on 15 June, in Helsinki, Finland, by the President of the Republic of Finland, Tarja Halonen.
He received a knighthood in 2004 when he was promoted to Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in the New Year Honours "for services to the global development of the Internet", and was formally invested on 16 July 2004.
On 21 July 2004, he was presented with an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Lancaster University.
On 27 January 2005, he was named Greatest Briton of 2004, both for his achievements and for displaying the key British characteristics of "diffidence, determination, a sharp sense of humour and adaptability", as put by David Hempleman-Adams, a panel member.
In 2007, Berners-Lee received the Academy of Achievement's Golden Plate Award.
In 2007, he was ranked Joint First, alongside Albert Hofmann, in The Telegraph's list of 100 greatest living geniuses.
He was awarded the 2008 IEEE/RSE Wolfson James Clerk Maxwell Award, for "conceiving and further developing the World Wide Web".
On 2 December 2008, Berners-Lee was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester. His parents worked on the Manchester Mark 1 in the 1940s and 50s.
On 28 April 2009, he was elected a foreign associate of the United States National Academy of Sciences.
On 8 June 2009, he received the Webby Award for Lifetime Achievement, at the awards ceremony held in New York City.
On 30 March 2011, he was one of the first three recipients of the Mikhail Gorbachev award for "The Man Who Changed the World".
On 26 May 2011, Berners-Lee was awarded with an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Harvard University.
In 2011, he was inducted into IEEE Intelligent Systems' AI's Hall of Fame for the "significant contributions to the field of AI and intelligent systems".
In 2012, Berners-Lee was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame by the Internet Society.
On 27 July 2012, Berners-Lee was recognised for the invention of the World Wide Web in the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.
On 3 December 2012, the Sultan of Oman conferred the Sultan Qaboos Order for Culture, Science and Arts (First Class) on Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

The Sharjah Museums Authority (SMA) has invited a group of youngsters from Sharjah Girl Guides to learn more about the emirate’s museums and historic sites and to discover what it takes to become an expert museum guide.
Organised by the SMA for the ninth consecutive year, the week-long programme, ‘The Outstanding Guide’, collaborates with Sharjah Girl Guides with the aim to teach up to 30 girls aged between 8 and 11 years old the important role museums play in the local community and provide them with a fun and educational activity during the school summer holidays.
Having commenced from July 8, the youngsters from the junior section of the Girl Guides, known as Brownies, will take part in tours of the SMA’s museums to show them the exhibitions and to explain what it takes to become a successful, informative and engaging museum guide.
The Brownies will kick off the week by being introduced to the elements of the ‘Outstanding Guide’ programme and learning about what it takes to become an expert museum guide. They will also be introduced to museum objects of historical importance from the region that are on show at the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization.
The Brownies will also learn about the marvellous undersea world at Sharjah Aquarium and how to recognize and talk about the various species of fish and other sea creatures among other important elements.
Ataya said: “The Sharjah Museums Authority is delighted to sign an agreement with Sharjah Girl Guides for ‘The Outstanding Guide’ programme." | 2019-04-21T22:37:37 | http://www.tradearabia.com/news/EDU_342782.html |

"I will not be defined by my abilities."
Kira is the son of Haruma and Caridad Yamato, citizens of the Orb Union. To date he has led a fairly uneventful life, though he enjoys the benefit of a high level of education thanks to having been fast-tracked early on. He is highly intelligent and places well in physical examinations, though he does not show any real interest in sports.
The reality is that he is a Coordinator, engineered before birth to have greater mental and physical capabilities than a normal human.
Kira is a civilian stuck in a situation in which he must pilot a mobile weapon in order to help protect the lives of his friends and refugees from the ruined colony Heliopolis. After having unwittingly mauled the Gundam's operating system in such a fashion that only another Coordinator can pilot it, he has been stuck with the rather thankless task.
Kira is highly intelligent, as is exhibited by his current level of education, already several years ahead in school and working on a degree in mechanical engineering. He knows quite a bit more about the subject than many of his classmates do, thanks to having studied quite a bit ahead. He's a self-starting learner with a talent for grasping complicated concepts quickly. He's highly adaptable to unusual situations and generally keeps a pretty cool head unless he's under truly abnormal levels of pressure.
It's somewhat unfortunate that 'abnormal levels of pressure' more or less defines his life right now.
In spite of the fact that he has, more or less, been drafted by a foreign power, he's managed to keep a handle on things thus far. He's taken the opportunity he has, having ready access to the systems of a real, live military grade mobile suit to expand his knowledge of the internal workings of the technology. He's already rewritten the thing's OS at least twice, improving the overall performance of the system. He might even be able to figure out a way to let a Natural use it, given enough time to come up with a good emulation system for the AI.
Kira exhibits all of the classic signs of being a Coordinator of especially high quality augmentation, his reflexes, healing rates and physical well being are all at the peak of expected human performance. Additionally, his brain development and mental acuity is in the highest percentile of the human race. Compared to most Coordinators, he is generally typical of someone who has focused, mostly, on mental development and not concerned themselves terribly with pressing their physical limits.
Kira seems to be unusually resistant to environmental strains and is possessed of unusual reserves of endurance for a Coordinator who is not deliberately pushing their physical limits on a continual basis. The source of this aberration is not presently known.
Furthermore, under great mental stress Kira demonstrates the ability to suddenly tap into hidden reserves of control and situational awareness, bordering on the supernatural, leading some to wonder if he might be a Newtype. To date, however, he has exhibited none of the classic signs normally associated with a Newtype. | 2019-04-26T12:05:31 | https://srtmush.fandom.com/wiki/Kira_Yamato |

I’m excited about Woollinn Dublin!
After the success of YarnFolk Festival of Wool in August last year, it’s clear we need more woolly events on this island 🙂 Ironically, it will take me as long to get to Woollinn as it does to Edinburgh Yarn Fest (door to door) 😂 😂 😂 😭. This island is so poorly connected. I think if you’re coming from anywhere else the Woollinn location is great, right next to the airport.
So! I was dithering and dithering about which days I would go, what I would sign up to. I have finally registered, so go get yours! In addition to the workshops, I am very excited to see Kate Davies talk about her work and her new book: Handywoman.
I found it hard to understand the workshop schedule since it’s just a list.
So I made this handy-dandy table if you were curious too. I don’t know if the schedule is subject to change, but is up to date as of 17 March 2018.

The Spectre-Class Attack Frigate is a close relative to the Valiant/Defiant-Class starship, in that it contains a cloaking device and is deployed in deep-space infiltration operations. Two of its most notable differences, however, is the existence of a phase-cloaking device, integrated into the primary warp core, and a series of multi-purpose photon torpedo launch tubes covering the main hull of the ship.
The phase-cloak was a device first developed in 2358 by Admiral (then Captain) Erik Pressman, installed aboard the Oberth-Class starship USS Pegasus (NCC-53847), as a secret tool of defense against the perceived Romulan threat, as instigated by the Treaty of Algeron, forbidding the use of cloaking technology on Federation starships. Upon the rediscovery of this technology on Stardate 47457.1 (2370 A.D.), by Admiral Pressman, with the aide of the USS Enterprise, it was quickly pulled back into the Starfleet Corps of Engineers for the design of our latest line of war vessels, of which the USS Spectre is the class ship. As a side note, Admiral Erik Pressman has been listed as missing on stardate 48812.2, following a mysterious jail-break on the New Zealand penal colony where he was incarcerated. There is no current official information on his whereabouts, or on his liberators, only that several accounts of witnesses at the colony testify that the military precision at which Pressman was extracted was uncanny. The total time elapsed for operation completion was exactly 24.63 seconds...or at least, that's what we heard.
The multi-purpose photon torpedo tubes are the home for their primary tenants, the MARK VI-X personnel transport and penetration torpedos. Other conventional torpedos and a variety of probes can also be launched from these same tubes at a moment's notice, should the need arise. | 2019-04-20T20:50:47 | http://www.shipschematics.net/seals/spectre.html |

Each dataset has a protection period covering 9 months from the data release date, or publication, whichever comes first. The protected datasets include Metadata and Level 0-4 data. There will be one release date for Metadata and Level 0-4 data and that release date will be the date the Level 0 data is verified by the Epigenomics Data Analysis and Coordinating Center (EDACC) according to the procedures defined in the current Consortium Policies and Procedures Document (http://genboree.org/projects/EDACC/genb%5E%5EadditionalFiles/EDACC-Recommendations.doc, Word, 415KB). To facilitate compliance with the protection period rule, the EDACC will provide public web access to an up-to-date summary of release dates for all the data submitted by the Roadmap Epigenome Mapping Centers (REMCs) (http://www.genboree.org). During this protected period, users may access and analyze the data, but may not submit any analyses or conclusions for publication or scientific meeting presentation until the protected period has ended.
Agrees to comply with the policy.
Data that do not require human participant protections and controlled access are openly available to the scientific community. Investigators outside of the Roadmap Epigenomics Program are encouraged to use the data generated from this endeavor, and are asked to follow the guidelines elaborated in this document. NIH will monitor the adherence to this policy and take appropriate action in cases of non-adherence.
Investigators accessing data generated by the Epigenomics Consortium (hereafter referred to as Òthe Consortium) and performing analyses on unpublished data are urged to proceed with submissions for publication only after the 9-month protected period has elapsed. If there is a compelling reason to publish during the protected period, data users are expected to use scientific etiquette and discuss their plans to use the publish data with the REMCs and EDACC and should obtain their consent prior to using the unpublished data in their individual publications or grant submissions.
The 9-month embargo period on publication will apply to submission of manuscripts for publication or submission of abstracts for scientific meetings by resource users. Resource users are expected to acknowledge the Consortium data producers, as well as relevant acknowledgements to the funding organization(s) that supported the work in all resulting oral or written presentations, disclosures, or publications of the analyses. The following website should be included in the acknowledgements: http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/epigenomics/. All investigators, through their roles as journal and grant reviewers, and journal editors, are asked to help maintain a high standard of respect for the scientific contribution of the Consortium.
Following expiration of the projected publication period, any investigator may submit manuscripts without restriction, including integrated analyses using multiple unrestricted datasets. For unpublished and unrestricted datasets, users are expected to provide proper acknowledgement as suggested above.
Investigators seeking access to Epigenomics data in the dbGaP controlled-access database must complete a Data Access Request (DAR). The Requester and a Signing Official (SO) authorized to represent the Requester's organization must agree to the terms and conditions for data use as specified in the Data Use Certification (DUC). Submission of a completed DAR serves as acknowledgement of the DUC and binds the Requester and organization to the terms and conditions stated therein. Further, access to controlled-access Epigenomics data will be granted with the understanding that the data will be used in accordance with the conditions described in the DUC for appropriate research uses, including any limitations on such use, of a given dataset.
Although the guidelines for access to controlled data are similar for all Epigenomics related data and its affiliated programs, the specific process for some programs can differ and can require separate DARs. Processes to gain access to controlled data are detailed below.
Requesters should access the data via the dbGaP home page (dbGaP - NCBI site). Although dbGaP was primarily created for genome-wide association study data (phenotype and genotype), it is readily adaptable to handling phenotype and sequence data as well.
Those requesting data via dbGaP will be asked to complete a Data Access Request (DAR), which will include a Data Use Certification (DUC) that the requester and institution, represented by an authorized Signing Official, will abide by any terms and restrictions associated with any data set. The Roadmap Epigenomics Program will attempt to enable access to all Roadmap Epigenomics Program datasets with a single DAR. However, some studies have use restrictions imposed by the original consent forms, and those may have to be requested individually. All DARs will be routed through the Joint Addiction, Aging, and Mental Health (JAAMH) Data Access Committee (DAC).
To complete the web-based DAR, the requesting investigator and the authorized institution Signing Official (SO) must have an active NIH electronic Research Administration (eRA) User ID and password. NIH intramural investigators may utilize their NIH directory User ID and password. Visit http://era.nih.gov/ for information on creating an NIH eRA account.
Within two weeks of receiving the completed DAR submitted by the SO, the DAC will either 1) Approve, 2) Disapprove, or 3) Postpone data access for the requesting investigator. Requesters approved and authorized by the DAC are designated Approved Users. Approved Users certify that they will abide by the terms and conditions specified in the DUC, including the provision not to distribute Roadmap Epigenomics Program controlled-access data in any form to any third parties other than those of their own research staff who have agreed to the terms of the DUC.
For collaborative projects, any independent collaborating investigator from a separate institution involved in the use of the Epigenomics data is required to submit a separate DAR. All Approved Users and their institutions will be required to acknowledge responsibility for ensuring that all uses of the data are consistent with federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and with any relevant institutional policies.

Bridle Path Stable is owned and operated by Brad Gosse and Susan Quigley. In 2011 we moved to the Goulds after purchasing a 2 acre hobby farm and building a 6 stall barn, but after a few years we felt like we needed more room to grow and in 2017 purchased a 46 acre property in the Goulds and the dream began to grow! Since then we have been slowly building their dream to have a small family run boarding barn and indoor area at home. Currently we are leasing a barn in the west end of St. John's until construction is completed.
Susan has been actively involved with horses since the age of 6 when she went to the barn with a friend and that was was hooked. Horses have always been a passion over the years and after graduating from Memorial University with a degree in Recreation Management took on a full time position at Clovelly Stables for 5 years. From Clovelly, she made the decision to go back into the traditional Recreation Field and has been working in Aquatics for the past 12 years developing her Management and Human Resource Skills while running Bridle Path part-time and traveling on the Avalon teaching riding. In 2018 she also became Certified as an Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator, from Cartier Farms, to be able to grow Bridle Path programming and the fill a gap in programs that teaching life skills but with her experience the twist is that it is using horses! By marring her experience in management and human resources with her passion of horses participants are in for a truly unique experience when attending any of Bridle Path's Equine Assisted Learning & Leadership Programs! | 2019-04-25T21:50:05 | https://bridlepathstable.ca/about-us-1 |

If you want to have a great time and service from your vehicle, it is always important that the car owner ensures that it is taken for maintenance in a regularly scheduled timing. As a car or vehicle owner, it is crucial for you to take into account the benefits of regular maintenance for your car that is connected to the fact that the car can actually give you great service over an extended time period. As a car owner, you find that you get to be safe while in the car as well as give the car the greatest and longtime service.
Having your car go for the normal or rather regular checkups ensures that nothing is wrong and if any they are promptly fixed and taken care of. Just as it is important for you to have your body assessed over time, it is crucial for you to make sure that you also have your car taken for these maintenance tasks to assess and ascertain the state as well as perform the corrective measures for your car. The reliability of the car or vehicle depends on how well you are able to get it maintained and repaired and within what time period.
It is true that maintenance tasks preserve the value of your car. At times, you may have the car and need to resell it hence the need to preserve the worthiness of the car through maintenance so that it can fetch you a handsome price. When these procedures of maintenance are skipped, you find that the car could cause you a great headache with the bills and the charges to solve the extreme cases of damage and maintenance.
When the car is checked, assessed and maintained, you get to append less cash on fueling which means that you can improve or increase your fuel economy. As a car owner, you can ascertain to the fact that at times the car misbehaves or rather the car gets issues with a lot of fuelling which in turn gets you to a point of using too much cash. It is through maintenance that you are able to have the car effectively run on a great fuel economy which in turn gives you a great leeway for maintenance.
Finally, it is important for you to note that regular maintenance aims at reducing the costs that could come in when the cases go unhandled. Regardless of the kind of problem the car has, it is possible for you to maintain and have it handled before it gets to extremities. This can prevent you from spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars to repair your vehicle when a simple, inexpensive repair can be done before the problem escalates. | 2019-04-23T10:15:29 | http://www.iceltic.org/a-brief-rundown-of-cars.html |

Henry C. McMakin Sustains a Very Heavy Loss.
Four Horses, Barn, Farm Machinery and Hay in Ashes.
No One Was Near the Barn at the Time.
A very destructive fire occurred yesterday noon on the farm of Henry C. McMakin, a few miles southwest of the city in Wayne township.
Early yesterday morning he drove to the city on business, and returned to his home about 1 o'clock. His horses were put up in the barn and the vehicle was placed in the shed. When Mr. McMakin left the barn nothing unusual was noticed around the premises. Just before dinner one of the farmer's daughters looked out toward the barn and saw flames leaped from the roof. No time was lost in reaching the burning building. Efforts were directed to saving the four horses in the stable. Mr. McMakin rushed to the stable door and attempted to liberate the horses from their stalls. In doing so his face and hands were blistered, so hot were the flames. He was compelled to retire for his own safety and his four valuable farm horses were roasted alive before his eyes. The animals reeled and plunged in the fiery furnace and while suffering the horrible tortures dropped over exhausted and burned to death.
The barn with forty tons of hay, all the farm machinery, harness and stable accessories was reduced to ashes in a very short time after the fire was discovered. Nothing was saved from the building. The loss will amount to over $2,000 with no insurance. The policy on the barn expired only a few days ago and Mr. McMakin was not informed of its expiration.
The origin of the fire is a mystery, as none of the farm hands ever carried matches or fire near the barn. | 2019-04-20T07:01:49 | http://gendisasters.com/indiana/17593/fort-wayne-in-barn-fire-nov-1894 |

Michio Shimada, chairman, research committee Packaging Prediction, Institute of Certified Packaging Professionals, Japan (ICPPJ) said it is the first time Kantum has exhibited its MiR100 at a tradeshow in Japan.
Created by Munehiro Kawaguchi, engineering manager, robot division, Kantum Electronics, he said the robot was launched last October and has already sold 10 machines in Japan.
The MiR heavy goods robot is used to transport waste from one factory to another replacing forklift trucks, which is better for the environment.
The PD6B-Type II Prodrone Safety Unit (PSU) is capable of carrying 30kg loads to disaster zones or for industrial purposes, for example carrying shipments from one factory to another, and will be launched in December.
According to drone researcher Kenzo Nonami, chairman of the Japan Drone Consortium and CEO of Autonomous Control Systems Laboratory, speaking to the Japan Times, drones can make a huge difference to the quality of life.
“If you needed any incentive to push drone services in Japan, you need look no further than the country’s declining workforce and ageing population,” said Nonami, inventor of Japan’s first-ever multicopter and a professor emeritus at Chiba University’s Graduate School of Engineering. | 2019-04-25T04:34:28 | https://www.confectionerynews.com/Article/2018/10/11/Processing-innovation-Robots-of-the-future-make-their-debut-at-Tokyo-Pack-2018 |

WHY DO WE LET WORK CONTROL US?
What is the common theme? FEAR.
WHAT IS THE RESULT OF FEAR CONTROLLING US?
It’s time to take away fear and incorporate strategies that will inject relief, control, flow, productivity and happiness into our daily work. If we don’t, our health and wellbeing will most surely suffer.
According to PhD, Carol Kauffman of Harvard Medical School’s department of psychiatry, “when employees feel discounted or not listened to, they feel helpless.
The idea of bursting is to do our work in small bite sized pieces. Rather than taking on a little bit of everything at once, burst your way through one small task, piece by piece. How?
o Set a timer and get some tea, take a walk, listen to some soothing music and begin again. Soon you will have completed the task at hand and it won’t feel like work.
o Reward yourself when the task is complete. Small rewards are just as good as big ones. How will you reward yourself several times today?
Shift your approach to your work day. How?
o Play great music, mantras, books on your way to work.
o Say nice things to yourself.
– It’s going to be a great day. Things are working out for me. I am getting better at being positive every day.
o Look for one good thing at work today and take time to appreciate it. One good thing a day.
o Get to know your Boss. By understanding where they are coming from, you may gain a mentor and a friend. Don’t complain, just get to know them.
o Do something nice and unexpected for a colleague (especially one you don’t like or feel competitive with). It does not have to be a big thing.
– A cup of tea. A magazine article you saw that they might like because you know they like a certain activity that is highlighted in the article. A thank you or congratulation when warranted.
o Set boundaries if you are overwhelmed with demand.
o Email signature: To be even more productive for this great company, I will not be returning emails after 6pm this week.
o Ask for help when needed. Don’t be a martyr. If a report is due and you need more time based on additional demands, ask for it.
The more you embrace change, conflict and concern, the easier work will become and the more control you will have over your work and your emotional, mental and physical reaction.
o If there is a management change, make it a point to introduce yourself and visit with new management.
o Reach out to others at work. Even saying hello is a big step forward. Ask a colleague to collaborate on a project. Ask the team to have lunch. Chat in the office kitchen with whomever is in there. Be nice.
o Seek out the outliers. Diversity leads to creativity and unique contributions. Don’t just surround yourself with people like you.
o Know you are worthy. Be confident that your contribution matters, even if you do not receive immediate feedback.
o Take on challenges as fun projects. Inject some joy into them. Play music on your headphones, draw some fun pictures, eat your favorite snack while diving into them. Do something that makes you feel good.
To control your work rather than letting your work control you, and have the result be a flourishing, fun experience, consider the following practices.
o Don’t skip your workout.
Watch your productivity, appreciation, worth, and joy at work rise.
Work no longer controls you. You control you. | 2019-04-20T17:11:13 | https://thriveglobal.com/stories/burst-shift-embrace-flourish-prosper/ |

Is anyone else compiling svn on OSX ?
I’m not very familiar with setting up automake.
Unless you’re particularly keen to build from scratch (and I’m missing the point), why not grab a .dmg installer?
Building from the scratch could be useful when you run firefly as service, launching it at startup time.
Actually, it is what I would like to achieve.

Display type. Direct-view CRTs still offer the best picture, but they're limited in size. The traditional CRT-based rear-projection TV (RPTV) offers a big picture at a relatively low price, but is also quite bulky. Newer micro-display RPTVsusing DLP, LCD, or LCoS technologyare a better compromise, delivering a big picture with bright colors in a smaller and lighter package, but for a few dollars more. Flat-panel LCD and plasma displays look good hanging on your wall, but they're expensive and (in the case of plasma) prone to screen burn-in. Front-projection systems are viable for big rooms that you can darken when viewing.
Screen size. Bigger is better, to a point. Most living rooms can handle up to a 55-inch widescreen set, and anything smaller than 40 inches isn't truly theater-like. However, you need to judge the size of the screen by the size of your room. Sit too close to a bigger set and you'll see all the graininess and scan lines in the picture; sit too far away from a smaller set and some details will be too small to see.
Aspect ratio. Most direct-view sets have the standard 4:3 aspect screen. Newer HDTV-capable sets have the wider 16:9 aspect screen. Obviously, the wider screen is better for watching widescreen movies, but the squarer screen is better for watching most television programming. Whichever you choose, you'll either need to put some black bars on the top/bottom or sides of the screen, or stretch the picture appropriately.
HDTV capability. There's little high-definition programming today, but it's coming. When you invest a couple of grand on a big-screen TV, make sure that it's HDTV-capable, meaning that it can display HDTV programming with the purchase of an add-on HDTV tuner. Some high-end sets have an HDTV tuner built in, which is even nicer.
Connections. You want your new monitor to include enough connectors to connect all your new components. That means, ideally, multiple component-video connectors. You can work around any connection problems with a good A/V receiver that up-converts video signals to a single component-video output, so you only have to make one connection to your TV. | 2019-04-23T11:23:20 | http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=345620&seqNum=7 |

You picked them to stand beside you on one of the biggest days of your life for a reason -- they’re awesome. I'm talking about your loyal groomsmen here. You know, the ones who have endured multiple Saturday afternoon tux fittings, impromptu etiquette lessons from your future mother-in-law, and one too many female-heavy prewedding parties. You couldn't have asked for a better bunch, and because of it, you'll want to thank them for keeping their cool throughout it all. Lucky for you, there are plenty of ways to do so. Here are a few of our favorite picks!
Christa says: If he's always on the road or somewhere in line at airport security when you call him, he should have plenty of use for one of these bags. He can say good-bye to weighed-down pockets and hello to instantly lighter travel. Perfect for the groomsman on the go, this handy little carry-on will hold all his travel essentials -- and a little more. The front pocket allows for easy access to a BlackBerry or boarding pass, and the main compartment will hold cologne, aftershave, a razor, and those cherished tickets to tomorrow night's game he wants to keep a close eye on. He can store this bag right beneath the seat in front of him, fasten his seatbelt, sit back, and enjoy the (simplified!) ride.
Christa says: He's the guy who has everything, but does he have it all in one easy-to-reach place? Ideal for the MacGyver-type in your entourage, this new take on the classic Swiss Army knife is sure to help him seamlessly mix business with pleasure. Picture it: The blade he uses to cut open his mail is adjacent to the USB stick holding his big presentation for tomorrow's conference call and just a few notches over from the screwdriver he used to fix the leg on his chair last week. If this little gadget isn't the epitome of convenience, I don't know what is!
Christa says: This here is a beer-lover's dream. Sure, it’s recommended for soda, but we both know he won’t use it that way. This lightweight mini fridge can follow him to any room in the house (including the garage if there's an outlet!) so he can have six cans of his latest brew of choice chilling nearby. And, should beer not be on the menu that day, he can just fill it with his other favorite 12-oz. canned beverages or remove the sliding shelf to fit a larger pick, like a small bottle. Drink up, guys!
Christa says: For the guy who always has an extra ticket to something, gift him with the memorabilia keeper every devoted ticket holder should have. With oversized pages, there's no ticket that won't fit within the pages of this unique fan book. There's extra space in the margins to jot down dates, locations, and unforgettable happenings, too. You know, like, when that kid barfed popcorn and cotton candy all over your sneakers right before your team scored the winning three-pointer in triple overtime to make it to the playoffs. Good times!
Christa says: Get the guys something they can really, really use, like, say, a set of everything they'll ever need to make some awesome barbecue. It's a splurge well worth it if they're the kinds of men who are usually glued to their grill on game day. If you're a fan of gourmet grilling, please note, this basket includes tasty picks from greats like Rick Bayless and Robert Rothschild. Not to mention, this is the gift that keeps on giving -- to you, too. Admit it: You're already clearing your schedule for their next Sunday barbecue.
Christa says: If you were hoping to gift your groomsmen with something that’s out-of-this-world unique, we found it (literally)! Though lots of companies claim to have the right to sell you property in outer space, the gang over at Lunar Land boasts being the only one legally allowed to do so. Purchase an authentic acre of land on Mars for the guys, which I'm guessing they'll be proud to claim, or even name, once you do. To make bragging easier for them, the standard gift package comes with a deed that lists the actual quadrant, plot number, and location of the purchase. Plus, true sci-fi geeks will go nuts over the futuristic Mars-themed envelopes and packaging.
Christa says: Are your groomsmen a happy bunch of self-proclaimed coach potatoes content to spend an evening on the couch watching their latest DVD from Netflix? (We get it, they cherish their downtime.) So here’s a real page-turner they'll love. Deciding on what to rent or order has never been easier. This film guide is a cinephile's dream, known as one of the most complete, reliable, and authoritative sources of movie reviews. Although, once they open this, it may be difficult (if not impossible) to get them to come out and play on a Friday night. You've been warned!
Christa says: You're no longer in the market for love, but is he? Gifting him with one of these classy little business cardholders might just help his next pitch. Instead of pulling a stained or dented business card from his wallet, he’ll crack open this eye-catching case and smoothly slide his information over -- something that’s sure to garner more cool points with the ladies. Plus, this pick is practical, affordable, and easy to personalize. And not to mention super-chic!
Christa says: Got a cyclist, hiker, or runner in the bunch? This gift idea will suit them well! Any guy who spends his long weekends or vacation time seeking an adrenaline rush will tell you that keeping his wallet close by can sometimes slow things down. No one wants to lose a wad of cash or a debit card along the way -- and, um, giving or receiving a sweat-soaked bill is not fun! This wallet solves these common problems and more. With room for just four to five cards max, he’ll only head off with what he needs. (This means the gift card from Grandma is safe.) Plus, the quick-snap secure closure function, detachable money clip, and water-resistant cover ensure that his money stays dry and easily accessible. | 2019-04-25T18:37:40 | http://tibesti.com/Best-Groomsmen-Gifts-2009/556 |
Welcome aboard, Andrew! Setting sail with Disney Cruise Line is always magical, but there is something so special about the first time you set foot on one of Disney's pixie-dusted ships, that makes your first cruise one to remember!
Disney Cruise Line offers ground transfers for guests from Port Canaveral going to the Orlando International Airport (MCO) after your sailing (as well as from the airport to the port and from the resorts to and from the port). This is by far the easiest way to end your cruise vacation, Andrew. Letting Disney take care of all of the details makes for a smooth transition from sea back to land. Call the agents at Disney Cruise Line at 800-951-3532 too add this to your reservation. The cost is $35 per person each way, but it is worth every penny to not end your vacation stressed about getting home!
Guests are encouraged to book their flights after 11:30 if they want to use the Disney ground transfers. This will ensure plenty of time to disembark the ship after breakfast, collect your luggage, go through customs, board the motor coach and take the hour long drive to the airport. If you see a flight back to your home airport around noon or after, that will be the perfect flight for your family. However, even if it's a little bit later, there are so many fun stores in the Orlando airport, you could kill some time browsing in those before you head to your departure gate. My family usually takes a 1:20 flight home and we have plenty of time to relax as we disembark the ship and extra time to shop at the airport, grab lunch, and a leisurely time making it to our gate.
I hope that helps as you get ready to book your flights, Andrew! Happy planning! | 2019-04-21T16:25:01 | https://disneyparksmomspanel.disney.go.com/question/first-cruise-time-expectmco-without-having-race-around-316754/ |

You just received your marks. They're OK, maybe good enough to enroll at a decent college, but you're still not sure if higher education is right for you. What other options do you have that can lead to a successful career and a decent salary?
Selecting your course -- whether job, vocational school or college -- usually occurs after class VIII, X or XII. Those who decide to transition straight into the workforce may find entry-level opportunities in trades such as housekeeping, food services, modelling, catering, hotel management or fashion technology.
For students who receive high marks on their exams -- and who have a professional career in mind -- a university education may make the most sense. This course allows you to earn a bachelor's degree and even progress to the master's or doctoral level.
Vocational education often combines hands-on activities with theoretical studies, giving students solid preparation to enter a wide variety of careers.
Students with an eye on vocational training have a variety of options from which to choose. Polytechnics, for instance, offer diploma and certificate programmes in science and technology disciplines such as engineering and computer science. Polytechnic institutes can be run by private entities or by the government, and some even cater to women specifically. Specialty schools also provide numerous vocational opportunities, with sharp focus on cooking, fire safety, animation and similar occupations.
A third choice for vocational training comes from industrial training institutes, or ITIs. Although similar to polytechnics, ITIs tend to concentrate more on a specific occupation. Private industrial training centres, or ITCs, can help students earn a diploma or certificate, as well.
After completion of ITI or ITC training and a pass on the All India Trade Test, the National Council for Vocational Training awards a National Trade Certificate. After practical on-the-job training, you can pass another test for the National Apprenticeship Certificate. If you want to specialise, you can take short-term courses at Advanced Training Institutes.
If you do not live near a training centre, you can sign up for distance learning programmes. Vocational courses through online learning range from solar energy technology to hotel front-office operations.
When you think about a career, ask which industries are growing. March 2012 numbers from the Labour Bureau show an increase in jobs in transportation and IT. Other hot industries include manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and health care, business and real estate.
You can also explore opportunities in construction, which ranks as the second-largest contributor to the GDP after agriculture. The Construction Industry Development Council lists 47 different trades, from mason to rigger to hydraulic excavator operator. PayScale posts a salary for structural metal fabricators or fitters in India at Rs. 1 lac per year, which is similar to pay for a junior customer service position and higher than India's per capita income, estimated at Rs. 84,600.
You may need to convince your loved ones that vocational education can pay off; many people still think a bachelor's degree is the only pathway to success. India Education Review suggests that society needs to change its image of skilled trades and give these important jobs the respect they deserve. In India, it's hard to switch from a vocational to an academic track, so gather as much information as possible before you decide on a career path. The country needs skilled workers in a wide range of industries, so you can most likely find something that matches your talents, whether it's operating heavy machinery or baking delicious pastry. Consider your academic record, ambitions and interests, and how soon you would like to start a rewarding career. Vocational education may be a good decision for you. | 2019-04-20T20:58:20 | http://www.indiaeducation.net/vocationaleducation/why-vocational-education.aspx |

Headaches are a very common problem amongst both men and women. Headaches affect our ability to work, they can affect our sleep and of course cause us to worry. Although headaches can often be distressing and painful, they rarely indicate a serious condition.
Lower back pain affects 80% of us at some point during our lives. There is no specific category of people who suffer back pain more frequently than others; men are affected as often as women and physical workers as much as sedentary workers.
A slipped disc in the lower back (lumbar spine) is a common problem and can often be overlooked, mis-diagnosed and treated with exercises that may worsen the problem rather than help it. It is extremely important to have a correct and specific diagnosis for your low back pain in order to treat and advise any rehabilitation.
Shoulder problems are extremely common. In fact, following back complaints, shoulder problems seem to be the next most common area of pain and discomfort. This is possibly due to the shoulder being a very complex joint that relies heavily on the surrounding muscles for support.
With so much information out there today about healthy foods, damaging foods and superfoods etc, it is difficult to know where to start if you are looking to make some changes to your diet. Below is some information about the benefits of certain foods to help encourage you to start making some of those changes today.
Watermelon: This is one of the world’s healthiest foods. Some facts about watermelon include: 1: It has a high water content, which means it has bulk without the calories. This makes it ideal for hydration and weight loss. 2: It contains high levels of vitamin A. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin which has an important role in eye function, immune function, cell growth and reproduction. 3: It is high in lycopene.
Lycopene is a naturally occurring compound which acts as an antioxidant and gives certain fruits and vegetables their red colour. Studies have indicated that lycopene may help prevent certain cancers, such as prostate, intestinal and lung cancer, as well as having cardiovascular benefits.
Broccoli: It would be difficult to make a list of healthy foods without mentioning broccoli. Often classed as a ‘superfood’, broccoli has been recommended by the American Cancer Society as one of the best foods to help prevent certain cancers. This includes breast and cervical cancer as well as lung and esophageal cancer. Broccoli also contains compounds such lutein and zeaxanthin which are currently being researched for their ability to reduce or prevent macular degeneration. Further to these benefits, broccoli contains an abundance of antioxidant properties along with protein, fibre, potassium, calcium, vitamins A & C, magnesium and more! This makes Broccoli a real powerhouse when it comes to health and it should definitely be at the top of anyone’s list of ‘foods to eat’.
Wild Salmon: Wild salmon is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. The reason for this claim is because it is packed full of omega-3 oils. Omega-3 oils are a type of fatty acid that is thought to have substantial health benefits for your heart and brain. They are also thought to aid circulation and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Furthermore omega-3 oils raise your good cholesterol (HDL’s); whilst reducing bad cholesterol (LDL’s). Omega-3 fats also reduce inflammation within the body and even help to control blood sugar levels. Salmon also has a high protein content as well as containing potassium, selenium and vitamin B12.
In contrast, farm-raised salmon are bred very differently. Due to the way they are kept, they are susceptible to infection and disease; and because of this, are fed substantial amounts of antibiotics. In the wild, salmon eat mackerel, sardines and krill – they are carnivores, while in farms they are grain fed. In short, this leads to farm-raised salmon containing inflammatory fats, less omega-3’s and possibly an unwanted course of antibiotics! We are what we eat…… so are salmon!
Oatmeal: This is another food that should be on everyone’s list of ‘foods to eat’, although avoid the sweetened instant packs as they contain far too much added sugar. Choose the least processed oats such as Swedish cereal oats, Irish, Scottish or rolled oats. As well as containing soluble and insoluble fibre, oats also contain ‘Beta-Glucans’, which is a type of starch that boosts the immune system. Beta-glucans are also under the microscope at the moment as they may contain cancer-fighting properties. One more benefit to mention is that the complex sugars within oatmeal have a favourable effect on blood glucose levels; which is very important for diabetics.
The main down-side to oats is that they should be avoided if you are gluten sensitive, have coeliac disease or if you suffer with kidney stones or gout. Oats contain purines which unfortunately break down into uric acid in the body, which in turn can irritate the joints in certain people.
Water: We are told time and time again to drink more water, so I will spend only a short time reminding you why it’s good for you. Your body is about 80% water, your muscles are 75% water, your brain is 74% water and your bones are 22% water. Every metabolic process in your body requires water. The ligaments and cartilage around your joints also contain water, and that includes the shock absorbing meniscus in your knees. Keeping well hydrated also helps keep the plasma and viscosity of your blood thinner; making the job of pumping it around your body easier on the heart and artery walls.
Our body is made primarily of water. We use for a multitude of tasks, and we need it more than any other nutrient. So perhaps we should be drinking a little more water in our day to day lives?
Pomegranate Juice: This little beauty has been hiding under the radar for a while, until recently. Researchers have discovered that pomegranate juice contains very high levels of antioxidants and other beneficial substances called ‘flavonoids’. Flavonoids are thought to improve the immune system, reduce free radical damage and contain cancer fighting properties. Studies have also shown that pomegranate juice may help to protect the prostate gland, improve cardiovascular health, reduce bad cholesterol and possibly be a natural Viagra! This so-called newcomer on the block is well worth reading about and including in your diet.
Vegetables: To finish, let me make one thing clear; there are no bad vegetables! Anything that has a leaf and crunches when you bite into it is a good thing. Vegetables are low in fat and contain a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. Green, yellow and orange vegetables are also rich sources of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and beta-carotene. These compounds along with antioxidants, protect the body from oxidative stress and certain cancers. Additionally, vegetables are packed with soluble and insoluble fibre, which promotes gut health and help protect against conditions such as constipation, diverticulitis and colon cancer.
A quick note on organic food: organic food is produced using environmentally and animal friendly farming methods; which are strictly regulated. Organic food generally tastes better, contains more nutrients, is free of pesticides and hormones, and is more humane for animals. Organic farming methods also nourish and preserve the soil in which the food is grown. It may take a little discipline and be a bit more costly, but buying organic is healthier for us, and the environment.

The knee is the most frequently injured joint in athletes. Most injuries occur due to the extreme stress during twisting activities such as football, skiing, squash and any other sport that requires a large amount of body movement. Fortunately, the muscles surrounding the knee generally do a very good job of protecting the joint and most injuries are not too serious. However, as there are a multitude of things that can go wrong with the knee joint, any prolonged or acute pain,along with restricted movement should be checked out.
The Knee Joint is made up of four bones: the thigh bone or femur, the two long bones of the lower leg: tibia and fibula, and patella, or knee-cap. The knee joint is a hinge joint, and although it may look like quite simple, it is one of the most complex joints in the body. It is also the largest joint in the body and more likely to be injured than any other.
As well as flexing and extending, the knee also has a small degree of rotation. This is perhaps one of the reasons why there are so many injuries to the knee. It is also one of the main joints to be affected by arthritis as we age. Taking care of our knees in the younger years may possibly help prevent future complications in our more mature years.
The Menisci (meniscus) are you shock absorbers. They sit between the femur and tibia to provide cushioning, lubrication, stability and load transmission. A meniscal tear can often occur whilst twisting the knee, leading to pain, swelling, locking or giving way. Operations are often performed to remove, or partially remove the damaged area of these structures. Surgeons often try to removal as little as possible as removing a complete meniscus can significantly reduce the shock absorbing ability of the knee.
The Cruciate Ligaments are found in the centre of the knee and are the major stabilising ligaments of the joint. You may have heard of these ligaments: the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL). These ligaments prevent the femur and tibia sliding in opposite directions against each other. ACL tears are usually dramatic with immediate symptoms, whilst PCL tears are often less dramatic, but still result in problems.
A rupture of one of these ligaments often leads to significant swelling and instability, along with pain, discomfort and other complications. Surgery is often be performed to repair theses ligaments, but is not needed in every case. Suitable and persistent rehabilitation can have very beneficial effects in regaining stability and mobility over time.
There are four main ligaments that stabilise the knee joint; the cruciate ligaments, which we have spoken about, and the two collateral ligaments, which sit either side of the knee joint. The collateral ligaments stabilise the knee in a sideways direction, and you can probably guess, a sideways force is often the mechanism of injury. Most injuries occur to the inside (medial) ligament through direct trauma and include pain to the touch and stiffness. Fortunately, the majority of injuries to this ligament are not serious and heal quickly.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that causes the hyaline cartilage within a joint to break down; and the surrounding bone to thicken and restrict movement. OA commonly affects the hips, lower back, neck and knee joints. OA in the knee affects over 70,000 people each year in the UK; and most physicians believe a combination of factors including muscle weakness, obesity, injury and aging are responsible. Symptoms of OA include pain, stiffness and thickening around the joint, as well as reduced range of motion. Pain is commonly worse in the morning and during weight bearing activity.
Other problems which cause knee pain include: OA under the kneecap (patella), rheumatoid arthritis, muscle strains, bursitis, tendonitis, Osgood Schlatter’s disease, thrombosis, fracture and dislocation. Other areas that can refer pain to the knee include: OA of the hip joint and lower back, along with problems around the foot or ankle, such as overpronation (flat footed).
As the knee joint sits between two long levers, the upper and lower leg, it is extremely reliant upon the surrounding muscles and ligaments. The muscles at the front of the knee are the quadriceps and the muscles behind are the hamstrings. As well as aiding smooth movement, these muscles also help to support and protect the knee from damage. Therefore, exercise will help maintain the strength and condition of these muscles, whilst movement will lubricate the joint and the structures within it. Overall, regular exercise which will help maintain the integrity and longevity of the joint and hopefully minimise problems later on. Be kind to your knees.
Osteopaths can often identify the cause of knee pain or discomfort and can help to reduce this discomfort. Your osteopath should also provide information on exercises to help with your condition, or possibly activities to avoid. Osteopathy is predominantly a ‘hands on’ treatment, although it may also involve ultrasound, acupuncture or TENS therapy. Should your condition require further investigation, an osteopath can write to your GP asking for further investigation.
“The weight of the world may be on your shoulders; but think what that’s doing to your knees!” JH.

Some call this type of travel a culinary tour or gastronomy tour. We choose to call it simply a Food Tour - travel with a bent on culinary anthropology. The goal is to provide you the opportunity to taste some of the worlds best dishes and to educate yourself about the foods of Peru from farm to fork. Looking at food from an holistic viewpoint, the study of a culture’s food can tell us a great deal about its history. It speaks to past and present environmental forces, agricultural practices, cultural, political, and ethnic influences from immigration.
You will experience why National Geographic named Peru the "next Foodie Frontier" in their Best of the World for 2012.
We have suggested itineraries (see below), however, you may customize your days depending on tastes (pun intended) and the region in Peru of interest. We can also assist with recommendations and reservations for popular and famous restaurants. We are here to help you taste the flavors of Peru for everything from upscale fine dining to delicious street foods, whether you are a gourmet or a novice on the food and drink of Peru. We also arrange cooking lessons and in-home preparation of family meals.
PERU offers a grand diversity of flavors - it is truly a Foodies delight!
Peru’s diverse geography and cultures along with a blend of new world and old world foods and flavors has created some of the best cuisine on the planet.
We design our itineraries to learn how the food is grown and harvested, and follow through with recipes and meal preparation. And of course, also important is the final process - the tasting and eating!
And Peru, with its varied geography and cultural history is a perfect country for such explorations. Peru is at the forefront of blending the traditional and modern, or nouv-cuisine, and has gained international recognition for its cuisine.
A country’s foods help define their culture and visa versa. This is highlighted in the wonderfull documentary, Cooking Up Dreams. The movie trailer can be viewed at: http://vimeo.com/5329385 and a copy will be supplied along with other country information before departure. | 2019-04-20T04:24:27 | https://www.explorationsinc.com/explorations/peru-tours/peru-food-tours/peru-culinary-tours.html |
Any professional photographer will tell you that the best landscape and / or outdoor photography is done around sunrise or sunset, and its true to a certain extent. I really wanted to go further away from Manchester today but in the end I choose to explore the Salford Quays area. We have both been here many times and the weather and lighting today were surprisingly good, although the wind coming off the water was extremely strong and bitterly cold. Once I had taken about a hundred photos we had a look around the Lowry Shopping Centre, and for a Saturday afternoon I was very surprised at how empty it was. When we came out from shopping this was the view that I saw and I couldn’t help but get a couple of photos. I love this style of photography and think that sunsets are very beautiful. This is a classic candidate for some HDR (high dynamic range) photographic techniques. I wished to digitally combine this photo with another taken where the bridge structure has light on it rather than being silhouetted like it is in this image. This photo will have to be taken one morning in the future, but from exactly the same view point. Then I will try to combine the two pictures into an even more interesting (if not a little fake) photograph. | 2019-04-25T12:15:25 | https://www.edwud.com/sunset-behind-bridge-in-salford-quays/ |

I can’t recall who saw it first, but it’s clear that it was for you.
you have done with me, letting go of all that has come before.
History lasts long like this, and we need someone to carry it.
"Tracing her honeymoon journey from steamy South Carolina to the snowcapped mountains, the powerful Pacific, ancient forests, painted deserts, and endless waterfalls of Oregon, Cassie Premo Steele’s Beautiful Waters captures the imagery and the magic of the modern transcontinental journey and the wonder one feels when experiencing Oregon’s stunning and varied terrain for the first time."

I initially edited this shot in September of last year shortly after returning my trip to Disneyland however I didn’t love the edit and I just let it sit there without revisiting it. A few days ago, I decided to have another go at it and the edit came together quickly, around 20 minutes. I share this only because I sometimes find an edit that was a challenge on one day is super easy another. I don’t know why this is but I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this? | 2019-04-25T04:51:51 | https://www.thetimethespace.com/fantasys-exit/ |
I hope this missive finds that you are well and that Travance has been a worthy host to you.
At your behest, I have travelled to Toka oro Sol to seek audience with the Solarian Elves on behalf of the Lehuine. Much to my surprise, they have agreed to meet with you.
Certainly, if you make the journey here, you will be received with a warm welcome. After you arrive, we will be able to begin negotiations towards easing the tensions between our sovereignties. Perhaps we will even be able to forge an alliance! Though, with our histories, it may well be a few generations before anything of that sort. It brings me joy that we are able to even begin the process of ending the feud that has plagued us. Violence and hatred may finally be a thing of the past! Even still, it is sad that the only reason we are able to have this summit is due to the death of the previous Warchief; though I am confident that the new Warchief will be a powerful force in leading his people.
Surely, once we have come to good terms with the Solarians, you will be able to convince your mother that this war is a mistake. Treaties made by the Crown Princess are as valid as those made by the Queen herself. At the very least, it should quell the aggression for long enough to achieve armistice, and then we can work from there. Your efforts towards resolution thus far will not have been wasted.
it has been an honor to serve as your retainer all these years and i wish you the best of luck in reuniting the lucerian people under your banner. farewell. | 2019-04-25T07:48:51 | https://www.knightrealms.com/9-uncategorised/667-prologue-for-september-1218.html |
Hello friends. Hope you’re having a good Sunday. It’s gloomy here and it’s making me want to be lazy but we have so much to do today including meeting some friends for lunch. We haven’t seen them since November. It’s been too long. I also want to go to Ikea and get a Raskog cart. These carts used to be $49.99 but I found out from a friend that they are $29.99 now. I put off getting one because I thought they were too expensive. Now the price is right.
Let’s talk TV for a minute. Specifically Scandal. I’m not going to give spoilers. I just want to say that it’s the best show on TV in my opinion. The storyline, twists & turns and the acting are amazing. If you’ve never watched this show I highly recommend it. Find it on Netflix and start watching. You won’t regret it.
The Walking Dead came back on last Sunday. This is another amazing show. There are times that the storyline gets a bit stale or slow but I’m invested in the characters and have to watch because I need to know what’s going to happen. I’m not a super fan. I’ve never read the comics so the whole thing is new to me.
In case you missed it I’m currently hosting a giveaway for software to keep track of your orders, income and expenses if you own a home bakery business. If you’re interested in entering check it out here. It ends this Friday.
Also, I made a Valentine’s Day card for my husband and shared it here.
I better get moving now. Have a great day and an amazing week. | 2019-04-19T12:46:09 | http://www.simplysweetsbyhoneybee.com/2015/02/slice-of-life-sundays-2-15-15.html |
I had just re-registered on ‘The Pink Sofa‘ (a womens’ dating site) for the first time in years and Susie for the very first time when, within days, she found me. She messaged me to say that our profiles showed many shared interests and things in common, and that I should give hers a read. So I did, and I was blown away. Although we lived only 2 or 3 miles apart, I don’t think we would have ever found each other without internet dating. We went on our first date a few days later (although we still argue about the actual date!) but I do agree that it felt so right.
Within 5 months we had bought a house and moved in together. I became step parent to her twin boys Sonny and Ollie (then aged 8), had adopted a rescue dog within 7 months and were engaged within 10. That was 6 years ago in August and we have faced challenges, but it’s been a wonderful and happy adventure so far.
Lindsey: I think I knew before we even actually met in person. Susie was the first person I ever came out to as gender fluid/non-binary, and I knew from her response that she would be able to love me for who I really am, and I knew that I could not let her pass me by. I told her within a week that we would get married and she didn’t run away.
Susie: For me, it was probably when Linz offered to shop for me and bring me some fish fingers, when I had a house full of children and only a box of potato waffles! I just knew then that we would make a great team. My problems were her problems and Linz always manages to make the ordinary seem like an adventure, and I was so ready for an adventure!
Susie: The proposal was a surprise but it was perfectly low key and simple, just how Linz knew I would like it. It was my birthday, the boys were there, I was sat on the bed wearing my PJ’s with a cuppa in my hand. Linz got down on one knee at the side of the bed and presented me with a necklace saying “Marry Me”. She and my sons had had the necklace made for me on the day she asked them for their permission to marry me.
Lindsey: We hadn’t been together very long when we were watching an episode of ‘One Born Every Minute’ which featured a lovely, if quite unconventional, straight couple. The guy, who was pretty quirky, was explaining how he never thought he would meet the right woman. However, when his now wife came along, he realised that “every pan has its lid” and that resonated so strongly with me. I knew that Susie was my lid and I was hers.
We both work in healthcare related jobs where wearing a ring is impractical for hygiene reasons, so the idea of each wearing a little pan and lid around our necks just seemed so fittingly symbolic and they get a lot of curious attention. We loved them so much!
What made you choose The Workshop to make your Wedding Pans?
I spent many hours trawling the internet and calling antiques shops, but my quest to find two matching miniature saucepans proved fruitless, so it occurred to me that we could have some custom made. It was important to me that we kept things local where possible and I had passed by The Workshop many times, seen Rob beavering away at his bench, been intrigued by his work and impressed by the beauty of the pieces in your window.
When we did come in for an initial consultation, the warmth of your welcome, and the enthusiasm and genuine excitement you had for the commission completely won us over. Jenny’s drawings, which were based on a real pan that had been owned by her grandmother, added an extra layer of special and Rob’s work exceeded our expectations. The fact that we would come to count you amongst our friends was a lovely and unexpected bonus. Thank you Jenny and Rob for being part of our journey! | 2019-04-24T04:50:53 | http://www.theworkshophebden.co.uk/the-story-of-lindsey-and-susie/ |

I'm not sure if this is truly an errata or if I misunderstood something.
If a character recives 3 dots for primary skills, 2 for secondary and one for tertiary, and a single skill cannot be associated with more than two paths, then the bolded text describes an inpossible situation.
Dexterity or Might and your relevant combat pool."
the prone character must stand up as part of a mixed action.
Standing up is an Athletics roll with a Complication of 1.
The rules on 118 also contain two other apparent typos: "clash range" rather than "close range" and "his opponents punishes" instead of "his opponent punishes" or "his opponents punish."
It concerns me that the movement rules which are relevant in combat, including entirely combat-specific actions like Disengage, Rush, and Utilize Cover, are only given in Chapter 2, starting on page 72, while the rules for every other aspect of combat are in Chapter 4, starting on page 115. Furthermore, the movement actions reference range bands, which are only explained in the combat section, pgs. 119-120. This placement is inconvenient even in the PDF format, with bookmarking, and I can only imagine it would be even more frustrating when using a physical text.
Page 3: One of the messages in the image says "Shear physical perfection" instead of "Sheer physical perfection". It's unlikely he's talking about scissors. It's also totally reasonable that Donnie would use the wrong word. There's also "Donnie's got stlye" and "have yo baby", which again may be deliberate.
Page 9: Cu Sith doesn't have the grave on the 'u' or 'i', but the Cu Sidhe form (Irish) looks like it would have an acute on the 'u' (I don't have a decent source to be sure on the Irish version). Some sources leave out the graves entirely when used in English. If modified here, the entry on page 167 should be updated as well.
Page 9: Shen should either have an acute here, or it should be excluded in the rest of the book.
Page 11: "very different place than the anything" should probably be "very different place than anything"
Page 12: Possible error in "blessings upon mankind... while" where perhaps the ellipsis was supposed to be a comma. While ellipsis is occasionally used to indicate a long pause, it should be preceded by a space in that case.
Page 16: Terra Incognitae isn't the proper plural form of Terra Incognita, since you would make the noun plural as well as the adjective (Terrae Incognitae). However, Terra Incognitae does look better for a non-Latin reader, and if you're making it your own term, I suppose you can decide on your own plural form.
Page 22: I didn't find an authoritative source that matched the spelling used for Lugh Lamhfhada's epithet (Lamhfhada). However, various sources spell it differently, and if your spelling was intentional, it's probably fine and will be familiar to players of various video games.
Page 34: "A Primordial's inhabitants are include Elementals" should exclude either the "are" or the "include"
Page 37: I'm assuming the "ao si" is supposed to be "aos si". If so, since "aes sidhe" was the term used earlier in the book, perhaps the same term should be used in both places. The earlier reference could be changed instead. The term "aos si" seems more correct, while the older "aes sidhe" is likely more familiar. Aos Si is also the Antagonist entry.
Page 40: Should yokai and Jizo have a macron over the 'o'?
Page 41: If dodaem is intended to be the same thing as doodem, it's an infrequent spelling. Similarly, Anishinaabeg seems more common than Anishinaubaek.
Page 42: The 'o' with a macron in Teotl didn't show up here for me in one reader, and showed up oddly in another. This could just be an issue with the readers I'm using.
Page 42: Should ollamaliztli have a macron over the 'o'?
Page 44: I believe the tilde belongs over the 'a' in Sao, rather than the first 'a' in Salvador.
Page 45: Under Varanasi, the term Kami is not capitalized, as it is in the rest of the book.
Page 48: "This may be one the reasons Titans" should be "This may be one of the reasons Titans"
Page 51: Text ends abrubtly after "irritation in an oyster"
Page 57: In the Rolling Dice sidebar, "The Storyguide might determine the Approach while the player decides the Approach". I'm assuming the first of these was supposed to be "Arena" (from text on pages 61 and 62), though the Forming a Dice Pool section seems to indicate the player just gets to choose the Attribute.
Page 60: Under Medicine, there's a switch from "Their" to "she". Under Pilot, while the "They" pronoun isn't used, the "he" and "his" don't match the style of the other entries.
Page 61: Under Survival 1, Survival 5, and Technology 5, the feminine pronoun is used. I don't have any objection to any particular choice of pronoun, but it looks like an effort was made to use "they" for this section (particularly for Techonology 5 where "they" is also used).
Page 67: Under Stunts, the "complicated Stunt" and "difficult Stunt" are in italics, while the "enhanced Stunt" is not.
Page 71: Under Action-adventure, perhaps the plural version Terra Incognitae should be used here.
Page 72: Under Barriers in the Movement section, the suggested dice pool is "Athletics + Might or Finesse". Was this supposed to be "Athletics + Might or Dexterity"?
Page 77: Under Intrigue "character's Attitudes" should probably be "characters' Attitudes"
Page 79: Under Exerting Influence in the Encourage Belief paragraph, there should probably be an "or" between "Leadership (indoctrination)" and "Subterfuge (rumors)".
There are some errors with the skill specializations which others have already mentioned.
Page 85: Eric Donner has spent 21 skill points. If Step Six of character creation is unintended, this should be 18. If Step Six is intended, this should be 23. He also has not allocated the extra attribute point.
Page 86: Near the end of the Background section, "The only one question remains" seems to have one too many words. Removing any one of "the", "only", or "one" makes the sentence work better. There's also a missing period at the end of the last sentence in the "Where's Xiutechutli" sidebar.
Page 87: Emanuel Montero has spent 21 skill points. He has spent one fewer attribute points than Eric Donner (perhaps he should have another point in Composure). The extra attribute point from Step Six is not included either.
Page 89: Hassan al-Hakim has spent only 17 skill points. It's likely some were supposed to go into Empathy. The extra attribute point from Step Six is not included. I expected his Movement Dice to be 5, since the section on Movement seems to let you use the better of Dexterity and Might.
Page 91: Rashmi Bhattacharya is missing the 'h' in her last name. She has spent only 21 skill points. The extra attribute point from Step Six is not included. I expected her Movement Dice to be 5 (using Dexterity).
Page 93: Rhiannon Jernigan has spent only 18 skill points. The extra attribute point from Step Six is not included.
Page 94: In the section on deeds, "in-setting destines" should probably be "in-setting destinies"
Page 94: "Since Deeds are an expression of intent towards and action" might have been intended as "towards an action"
Page 97: The Character Creation Example under Attributes uses Reason rather than Intellect. For some reason, only 5 points are assigned the the Social Arena (3 Presence, 1 Manipulation, 1 Composure), so the final stats are off by one.
Page 98: The Character Creation Example under Finishing touches indicates that Mao has three Injury conditions. I'm not sure if this is one lower than it should be, or if Taken Out is just not counted. There's also mention of the Athletics + Stamina pool, which is apparently 4. This would make sense if Mao had an Athletics of 2, but he doesn't appear to have this skill (though he did have 5 discretionary points, which may have been allocated to Athletics). Given the character sheet, I would expect the pool he's computing to be the Move pool, which the other characters base on Athletics + Might. Finally, it looks like he's using Composure for his Defense stat, which may be intended, but all of the other sample characters restricted themselves to Stamina for this.
Page 104: Under Supernatural Origin Paths, "Humans dominate The World, but they not the only" should be "but they are not the only"
Page 106: Under Wireless Interface, "Electronic devices respond you without needing to touch them" should be "respond to you without needing to touch them" or simply "respond without needing to touch them"
Page 111: Under the Trickster Knack, "In Sheep's Clothing", "When you disguise yourself, you do without needing to roll" should be "you do so without needing to roll"
Page 112: Well Tempered references the "Armored" Tag. Should this be Soft (1)?
Page 112: Under Character Advancement, "The Storyguide have more control" should be "has more control"
Page 116: Under Attack Resolution, item 5, "The next player's takes their turn" should be "The next player's character takes their turn" or perhaps "The next player takes their turn". Since the next slot may be an SGC slot, perhaps it would be best as "The next character takes their turn".
Page 117: The Grapple section lists a Skill of "Agility (Might)". Was this supposed to be Athletics or Close Combat? The Grapple sidebar seems to have a different mechanism of escaping the grapple than the Break Free stunt. I'm also confused by the 1s cost of Break Free, given that the cost seems to either be 0s or the number your opponent spent. The Position stunt mentions Dodge, but that's not defined (we already need to overcome defense for all of these stunts).
Page 118: Under Ranged Attack, the Disarm stunt mentions the "near" range increment, which should probably be "Short"
Page 118: Under Modifiers to Attack / Defense Actions, there are three mentions of "clash range", which should probably be "Close range"
Page 118: Under Ambush, "roll Agility + Dexterity" should perhaps be "roll Dexterity + Subterfuge"
Page 120: In the table entry for Long range, perhaps Discipline was meant to be Resolve. Overall, the textual portion doesn't match the table.
Page 125: Motorcycle Jacket referenced Armored. Should this be Soft (1)?
Page 146: The Armor box states that Soft Armor increases Defense. For players, it instead increases the successes needed for the Inflict Damage stunt. Increasing Defense makes stunts like Disarm more difficult, which may not be intended.
Page 174: Yoruba may not need any diacritical marks, but if you do use them, I believe the 'o' should not have a mark, while the 'u' has a grave and the 'a' has an acute.
Page 174: Oduduwa didn't get the background for the Callings line.
Page 178: "Wits and Perception and folded" should be "Wits and Perception are folded"
It would be nice if the Purviews were always in alphabetical order.
I did not check any of the God names for proper diacritics.
Page 58: A bulked-up power lifter (Physical 3) with the Force Favored Approach (Might 5) who is an Olympic athlete (Athletics 5) will average 3.33 successes, and succeeds at lifting two microwaves about 2/3rd of the time. This should be typically achievable by a Might 1, Athletics 0 mortal.
Page 65: In the scale section, the mention of "astra weapon" is the only one in this book (those with access to Hero may understand it's a relic).
Page 67: In the Stunts section, there's a prohibition on benefiting the same Skill/Attribute combination. It's possible the intent is that after your Stunt using Dexterity + Athletics, you can benefit your teammate's Dexterity + Athletics, but if so, that's unclear.
Page 72: Under Utilize Cover in the Movement section, it isn't clear if the "simple roll" indicates that this is a simple action.
Page 73: Under Procedurals, one of the examples is "engage in intrigue". Normally, this would be a decent example, but since Intrigue is one of the three areas of action, it's odd to use it here.
Page 74: Given that the Greco-Roman pantheon (Theoi) uses Hades rather than Pluto (Kerberos is generally associated with Hades), perhaps this should be changed to "child of Hades" instead of "child of Pluto".
Page 74: Under Finding Clues "There is a variety of ways" is more typically written "There are a variety of ways". The version you have isn't wrong per se, but goes against the AMA Manual of Style.
Page 83: Under Ready-made Characters "Each character has used some experience to buy two additional Knacks". Given Step Six of character creation, this does not seem to require any additional experience.
Page 97: Under Skills, "If this gives a Skill more than five dots, redistribute the extra dot to another Path Skill." isn't applicable, given the rule on page 96 that "Any given Skill can be associated with at most two of your Paths."
Page 97: Under Skills, the explanation of Momentum granted by a failed roll with a Specialty implies that the failed Ability roll does not need to match the Specialty (e.g. the character with a Specialty in Pistols misses with a Rifle, and since she's failed a roll with an Ability in which she has a Specialty, she gets 2 Momentum). It's also unclear what the Ability keyword is here, though I suspect it was meant to be Skill.
Page 107: In the Healer Knack "With A Glance", there is a shift from "you" to "she". Similarly on page 109 in the Leader Knack "Captain of Industry", "You can inspire a number of people equal to her Leadership" has the same shift.
Page 112: Under Character Advancement, "spending momentum" should be "spending Momentum"
Page 115: Under Attack Resolution, item 3 "Spend successes to overcome the target's Defense, the attack is successful." is confusing. Perhaps this was meant to bridge into the next sentence: "If the attack is successful, spend additional successes on Stunts."
Page 116: The Inflict Damage stunt for Close Combat includes the Armor, but the Grapple, Ranged Attack, and Thrown Attack do not include this. It's not really necessary to mention it, since it is mentioned in the Armor section, but including it for one type and not the others implies that Armor only applies to Close Combat.
Page 118: The Ranged Attack Pin stunt seems like it would always be added to any successful attack at a cost of 0s. It's also odd that the Thrown Attack knockdown (Line Drive) goes against Might while the Ranged Attack knockdown (Knock Down) goes against Stamina.
Page 149: Attack - Can the Antagonist act while maintaining Dread Gaze? Mixed actions and Move without using a basic action are disallowed, but what about other actions, like attacking?

Not 100% if this is an oversight worth errata or an intentional decision already made, but should Nuwa the Snake Goddess have Beasts (snake) as a purview?
I'm sure others have already caught many of these, but here's my list......SNIP!!!!!!!!!
Good Lord Man!!! And well done. On my first pass through I missed about 60% of these.

P. 57 "Forming a Dice Pool" Refers to Finesse as Control on two occasions.
"displays their Force, Control, or Resilience in that area"
"it may also be a test of mental control"
Also, throws from a grapple are extremely contradictory and confusing. This covers the grapple sidebar on p.117, the throw stunt on the same page and the Throwing paragraph on p.118.
The sidebar says, you can throw a grappled target with opposed Athletics + Might, winning ties. The paragraph on 118 mentions lifting with Athletics + Might, which isn't opposed, as weight is static.
More importantly though, the sidebar allows a grappler to just throw their victim (as a simple action, I assume) whereas the Stunt has you pay successes from the Grapple action. As I understand it, Grapple replaces Close Combat Attacks against an already grappled target (as opposed to starting a grapple, which is done with CCA). It works with Agility + Might, which probably means Athletics + Might, as Agility doesn't exist. It's also the only attack action to list the relevant Attribute in parentheses behind the skill. This has you overcome the target's defense to perform Grapple Stunts, including Throw. This version needs at least one success to throw [Might] meters + 1 meter per extra success, which is the only indication of the range of this throw from a grapple, so let's use it.
1. Why would you need to succeed on the Grapple action and spend successes on a stunt to throw your victim if just being in control let's you throw them right away?
2. Why do you not need to be able to lift your opponent for this stunt?
3. How do you determine the distance on the sidebar throw, when there are no successes from a Grapple action to pay for it?
4. Why does the grappler win ties on the opposed roll from the sidebar, when normally, defenders win?

Not sure if this is an errata for Origin or Hero, but Origin references "Calling Crisis" on page 153 as a possible source of Tension Pool, indicating it's defined in Hero. This term doesn't appear in either book again - and should probably be in Origin, if it's a rule that is intended for use in Origin games.
EDIT: Looking at it closer, this probably refers to changing Callings through Failure and Adoption Deeds, but neither seems to give Tension as currently defined in the Hero Draft. Likewise, the other source of Tension on 153 of the Origin book references resolving Conditions as a source of Tension, but resolving conditions only appears to give momentum.
Last edited by HighPriest; 08-09-2018, 07:30 PM.
The sentence which begins with "Choose from a Calling list that seems appropriate" obviously refers to creating a Denizen / creature of Legend character due to its parenthetical examples, but it isn't introduced smoothly. In fact, I must say that I'm confused as to whether the Denizen creation rules are intended to be in Chapter 3 at all, or if they were all supposed to be moved to the Supernatural Paths Appendix. "Creatures of Legend" are mentioned on pg. 94 in the Concept step, and they're clumsily mentioned there in the Callings and Knacks section on pg. 98, and pg. 104 gives a brief introduction for Supernatural Origin Paths and then refers you to the Appendix for everything other than pre-Visitation Scion, but I believe those are the only references. It's possible that the bits on 94 and 98 are textual artifacts, and 104 is meant to be the arrow pointing toward Denizen rules for those Storyguides and players who want them, or maybe they're meant to be more clearly present as an option throughout the whole chapter. I'm not sure.

It is not clear if the Adjusted Paths still give access to the base Path's knacks.
And another one: The Break Up Grapple stunt and the Grappled condition (pg 116-117) disagree on how to get out of being grappled.
I've been combing through things and while I still have other items to double check before I post them I did want to slot in what I could.
Page 11 - The World of Legend exists alongside The world of humanity. -> It should either be The World of Humanity, or the world of humanity.
Page 12 - "ready to devour hapless mortals who stopped at the wrong spring to drink or took the wrong paths through the dark, deep woods." -> Shouldn't this be deep, dark woods instead of dark, deep woods?
Page 15 - "Carnivàle’s miracles are low and slow, never quite making the “rubes” wise to the nature of The world they inhabit." -> nature of The world is weirdly capitalized, should it be The World or the world, either way - needs consistency.
Page 16 - "The Gods long ago retreated from the mortal World" -> World is capitalized but mortal is not, If referencing a formal reference then it should be Mortal World, or if not intended to be - should be mortal world.
Page 16 - "Legendary creature: Any non-human being related to the mythic World," -> should be either Mythic World or mythic world.
Page 16 - each instance of a term not capitalized.
Page 30 - "They almost possess powerful" - should be "They almost all possess"
Page 34 - "but even Primordials binding Fire and Darkness..." - this is awkward with the use of Binding - should pick a different word to describe this that fits the sentence - such as "But even Primordials of Fire and Darkness" or "But even Primordials who embody Fire and Darkness.."
Page 34 - "A Primordial's inhabitants are include..." - should be altered to say either "A Primordial's inhabitants include" or "A Primordial's inhabitants can include..".
Page 36 - " the exceptions are either pass through other realms attuned to" - should be "the exceptions either pass through..." - remove are as the flow of the rest of the sentence is specific to describing what the exceptions DO, not what they actually are.
Page 49 - "This isn’t a just a war of ideals," - remove the first a, should read "This isn't just a war of ideals..."
Page 57 - "displays their Force, Control, or Resilience" - I believe "Control" should be "Finesse"
Page 59 - The text for Leadership (Copied here) appears to be different in size or font than the rest of the same text throughout the skill pages. "Leadership is a knowledge of..."
Page 61 - The text for Technology (Copied here) appears to be different in size or font than the rest of the same text throughout the skill pages "Technology represents the..."
Page 66 - "a master swordswoman might be able a cut everything within reach" - This should be altered to read as either "might be able to cut everything" or "may be able to cut everything within reach". the word "a" is either incorrect or the phrase should be modified to remove it.
Page 69 - FAILURE - has a weird graphic distortion on the LUR where it is unclear if that is intentional or if it is accidental, the U appears to be angled and slightly above the other letters.
Page 70 - MOMENTUM - the TUM has a weird graphic on the U same as on page 69.
Page 70 - which can hold up to (twice the number of players) at a time. - This is formatted strangely as you do not need to add the parentheses but should clarify "which can hold up to twice the number of players in Momentum at a time."
Page 72 - When it’s relevant, an unimpeded human on foot can move a number of feet each turn equal to twice their Athletics + their highest Physical Attribute. - I would try to clarify this so it is exceedingly clear. Is the intent "(2xAthletics) + Highest Physical Attribute, or is the intent 2x(Athletics+Physical Att)? I would spell this out in specificity for the sake of text rather than leave it potentially ambiguous.
Definitely let me know if there is any question regarding these notes.
The Ready Made Character Eric, on p. 85, has the Knack Tempered, which is probably supposed to be Well Tempered.
Emanuel, on p. 87, has listed the knacks Bold Introduction and Inspirational Aura. I can't find either in Origin, though Inspirational Aura does appear in the Hero preview as a copy of Captain of Industry.
Hassan, on p. 89, has "Healer with the Hands of God", which is probably supposed to be "Surgeon with the Hands of God". He also has Instant Diagnosis, which I can't find in Origin, but does appear in Hero.

Image inpainting is to restore a damaged image with missing information – a fundamental problem and a hot research area in image processing. Many approaches, both geometry oriented and texture oriented, have been proposed on inpainting such as total variation (TV), Criminisi algorithm, etc. However, these approaches suffer from either limitations such as only suitable for small areas (of cracks, for example), staircase effect (discontinuity), or inefficient (time-consuming) to search the best match patch (for filling-in). In this paper we propose a novel approach based on partial differential equation (PDE) and isophotes direction, named as Isophotes-TV-H-1. A corrupted image is first decomposed into two parts: the cartoon (smooth parts and edges of the image) and the texture. Then the cartoon part is inpainted through Isophotes-TV-H-1 while the texture part is done by an enhanced Criminisi algorithm which reduces the searching time for match and gives more reasonable match patches. The results of experiments on several images have demonstrated that, compared to existing methods, the proposed solution can recover the texture (of the damaged region) better, suppress error propagation and solve the problem of intensity discontinuity.

Fresh off their SXSW debut, we chatted with Rosie Tucker, the musical mastermind behind the recently released (and incredible) Never Not Never Not Never Not, out now on New Professor Music.
The Grey Estates: I want to start by asking you about “Habit.” The first time I heard that song, I was so blown away by all that it contained and did. What inspired you in writing that song and how did it come together?
Rosie Tucker: Habit is about a relationship that has fallen apart and is resting in a state of disrepair, the place where feelings hurt and it’s difficult to imagine anything ever changing. I wrote it all in one go, having been sitting on my porch listening to “camberwell” by #1 dads. I was inspired by the introspective spoken style of that tune but when I picked up the guitar what came out was angry and angular. Wolfy helped transform the song into a genuine rock n roll slammer.
I remember when you had sent me “Spinster Cycle.” How do you think that you’ve grown as an artist in releasing this material and even since you wrote that song? In creating this album, what did you want it to represent? How does it differ from your previous release?
I think the biggest change between then and now is that I’ve learned to accept help from other people. Creating this album really felt like Wolfy, Anna, Jessy, and I learning how to record an album together, our very first effort. I can’t wait to see where we go as we learn more about our group process. I can’t beLIEVE these frickers keep lending me their talents!!!!!!!
As an artist and as a person, what do you hope people listening to the record take from it?
I hope they don’t yell TURN THAT GARBAGE OFF. Beyond that I really, really don’t care and am still astonished anyone is listening. Of course I want people to think I’m clever and funny and caring and talented but none of that actually matters.
Is there a track or song on this album that really resonates with you or that has an interesting backstory?
I wrote Pablo Neruda sitting on an air mattress under a kitchen table in a teeny railroad apartment in NYC and then promptly decided it wasn’t a good song.
What inspired this album: can be food, music, clothes, weather, anything?
People! People! People! And, maybe more importantly, the time I’ve spent doing what I like when I was supposed to be doing something else. Also growing up in LA, a surreal urban cornucopia much maligned in popular culture when portrayed through the eyes of transplants from wealthy suburbs. That said, California gets too much credit in rock n roll already so let’s not further inflate her ego.
What’s your advice to musicians trying to make it through touring?
Try being born to a huge catholic family. If that doesn’t work, try being born wealthy. Find good natured people who can take care of themselves and don’t mind putting in the work: they’ll make the stressful parts manageable and the manageable parts fun and the fun parts fulfilling. There are grocery stores all over north america and you don’t need to eat fast food unless you really want to.
You’re in charge of creating a sandwich. What’s on it?
That’s a lot of responsibility. I’m currently confined to the van so it’s gonna be hummus and guacamole on some good seedy brown bread. I’ll probably eat three in a row before I offer to make them for everyone else. | 2019-04-23T00:24:31 | https://www.thegreyestates.com/blog/interview-rosie-tucker |

Everyone needs a cheerleader in their life. It doesn’t matter who you are, what age you are, or what your goals are, encouragement is a necessary ingredient in one’s life, I think.
So color me baffled, with a little bit of pissed off and a little bit of hurt, that my husband is completely flippant about this.
A few weeks back I had a 5k race after his obstacle race that afternoon, where of course I was there holding bags and snapping pictures and cheering him on. Number one, he could have cared less if I was there either. Keep in mind folks-this is only his 2nd race – of any kind. Of course I was going to be there! It’s not a common occurance for him. Number two, I expected him to fully ‘show up’ and cheer me on that night as I raced as well-minus the mud, thank you very much (not my cup of tea). Pictures would have been a nice bonus… My feelings were so hurt because he sat in a chair that night while I ran, posted pictures of his race (that I took) the whole time on Facebook, and didn’t even see me cross the finish line. I cried about it actually.
I have a “goal” race on the 21st and by gosh I’m dragging the whole family to that one and even making my BFF run it with me to keep me going (She was like hell yeah!). I desire my cheering squad and expect them to be there for me for something so eventful to my goals. I don’t ask that they come to any other races-the only reason hubs was at that one a few weeks back was because it was on the way home from his race and right after.
I’m his wife-me of all people he should want to be there in his cheering squad. It’s simply bonus that I want to be there! He is my husband and I expect him to be at my race as my cheering squad, and because he wants to be, not because I’m dragging him to it.
Am I being a bit self-indulgent here? Being a big baby? Because I’m actually kind-of pissed and definitely a lot hurt. | 2019-04-26T15:38:55 | https://theroadtothere.live/2016/05/02/cheerleader/ |
Each year CaliforniaVolunteers hosts the Annual AmeriCorps Conference for current California grantees. The Conference is an opportunity for programs to network with one another and CV staff, learn, and share service experiences. CV staff and guest speakers lead session topics that focus on ways to build and maintain a strong AmeriCorps program such as fiscal policies, program oversight, reporting and member development.
Are you new to AmeriCorps? Then this was the session for you, as we helped new programs understand the fundamentals of AmeriCorps. This session was not for the weak at heart. The participants worked hard, asked questions, and walked away with more to learn!
The role and importance of branding has been a key component of national conversations about AmeriCorps. As we continue to explore ways in which we can better communicate the value of AmeriCorps, we took this opportunity to hear from a panel of experts on how and why branding is a vital part of discussing the AmeriCorps advantage.
Data can be a powerful tool to improve the health and well being of children, families, and communities. This plenary explored how data from Kidsdata.org can be used to assess needs, set priorities, develop action plans, inform programs and policies, track progress, support grant proposals, strengthen advocacy efforts, raise awareness of key issues, and more.
This session provided an overview of CV and CNCS’ roles in ascertaining program compliance. Common Member File/Desk Review and Site Monitoring findings were reviewed and discussed, and the presenters provided resources for programs to consult for reference. There were interactive activities and time for questions.
This workshop covered Cost Principles, Documentation & Fiscal Systems Basics, Budget Development, Invoices, Budget Amendments and Federal Financial Reports. The Fiscal 101 workshop is required training for new or first year fiscal staff and is highly recommended for program staff.
This mandatory training covered how to conduct and document compliant checks for both staff and members. Special attention was given to CV and CNCS differences, using CV forms, common challenges and how to avoid disallowed cost. Ideally the staff member most connected to the program check process attended this session.
We worked together to explore the six core elements of effective oversight and how they relate to your program, members and sites. This session was a great opportunity to network with your fellow program staff and assess the current state of your program in relation to oversight.
A giant in the world of National Service, Shirley Sagawa joined us to discuss the Service Year Alliance and the role of partnerships and innovation in keeping Service vibrant and relevant. Karen Baker facilitated a conversation around the future of National Service and how AmeriCorps programs can, and will, play a pivotal role in moving our country forward.
Following from the December meeting on recruitment in California, this session focused on the innovation and collaboration in our Regional Recruitment model. Programs gathered to discuss the best way to improve recruitment in their region and how their new and exciting partnerships will play a role in improving AmeriCorps recruitment across California.
The AmeriCorps Advantage Career Resource Guide has been unveiled! The vision, purpose, and content of the Guide was presented along with suggestions on how to use the Guide with members during their year of service.
The role of Civic Reflection in service and community engagement programs continues to grow and expand in new and exciting ways. This session covered the basic tenets of Civic Reflection and working with participants to practice developing lesson plans for reflections within their own program.
This session focused on numerous components of Fiscal Compliance, such as Fiscal Desk Review and IPERIA. This workshop is required for fiscal staff personnel and optional for program staff.
We heard from programs about recruitment, support and recognition implementations as well as best practices of coaching and progressive discipline processes.
Project Impact was an evaluation learning cohort of 16 programs, coached to conduct their own internal evaluation. This practical, hands-on methodology is driven by a passion for how the evaluation process can deepen learning, re-energize the mission, and ultimately deepen impact. Grantees provided a snapshot of the process and the exciting things they discovered!
This session assisted grantees in identifying fraud indicators; common audit findings; audit resolution; investigation and processes, findings and resolutions; recent common audit and investigative findings; how grantees can deter fraud, waste and abuse; how to report fraud, waste and abuse; and understanding the Whistleblower Protection Act for grantees.
This session introduced participants to the retention model that Reading Partners provides for returning members in efforts to retain them for multiple terms. The session covered peer knowledge networks, promising practices, and tools and resources that can be adapted into an action plan for engaging and retaining members.
A key component of successful program management is strong transition practices. The ability to manage a smooth transition can be a defining part of the long term success of a program. This session focused on developing policies and procedures for transitioning and training new staff as well as how to effectively implement these practices.
Evidence of effectiveness is a vital tool in communicating the story of your program’s success. This workshop helped guide programs in understanding where they are on the evidence continuum as well as how to develop a plan to move up on the continuum.
This session covered the latest information regarding the federal FY18 appropriations process, CNCS priorities and policies, as well as the important role that AmeriCorps programs and alumni play in educating decision makers on the impact AmeriCorps makes in communities throughout California and the rest of the nation. | 2019-04-23T06:23:56 | https://californiavolunteers.ca.gov/granteecentral/conference/2017-americorps-conference/ |

Once a crime has been committed, it is important that we gather as much information as possible to be able to solve the crime rapidly. Far too often, people fail to report an offender or a suspicious person because they are not sure if what they have seen is important, they are reluctant to get involved, or they do not want to "offend" the person of whom they are suspicious. Just remember that if you don't report the crime, a criminal gets away and could cause harm to others. | 2019-04-26T08:09:58 | http://www.simmons.edu/about-simmons/public-safety/keeping-safe/if-you-are-a-victim-of-a-crime |
Squalene is a unique oil that naturally occurs in skin and helps to stabilize the structure of skin. This unique fatty substance is structured as an isoprenoid, which is a fat-soluble antioxidant with a unique ability to anchor itself to cell membranes. Vitamin E, tocotrienols, Q10, mangosteen, and beta carotene are other examples of nutrients with primary isoprenoid structure. Many fruits and vegetables have small amounts of isoprenoids.
Squalene is naturally produced during cholesterol synthesis and is widely distributed in human tissues. Its major concentrations are in the skin and in the oils secreted by sebaceous glands, which provide a protective barrier to the skin surface. Squalene helps maintain skin moisture by lubricating the skin surface.
Squalene can deactivate the free radical known as singlet oxygen, the free radical that is generated by exposure to the sun’s UV radiation.
Squalene can also absorb and bind fat-soluble toxins, helping to excrete them from the body. These multiple functions of squalene make it an excellent nutritional support product for the skin.
Squalene contains isoprenoid structures that are known to attach to cell membranes, has significant antioxidant and detoxification capacity, and shows great potential as an immune-support nutrient. | 2019-04-25T12:49:15 | https://nutriscienceusa.com/squalene/ |
For a long time now I’ve been saying that having a personal blog is a very good idea, but a lot of people still don’t get it.
People like to buy from people, not from busineses, and as an example of what I mean, the first thing I always do when considering purchasing a product is do a quick search for the product owners name.
If I find it, I take a quick look at the site just to see if there’s a real person behind it all and for peace of mind, and in most cases it’s a blog.
Usually if there’s a couple of other products they have for sale, I check them out too, and at any rate blogs are good place to see if there’s any special deals going on, like product bundles at a reduced price. I’ve managed to pick up a couple of those and been really pleased with the purchase.
But there’s also a traffic aspect to owning a blog too, which isn’t apparent until you stop to think about it.
You can buy traffic, or you can generate it yourself.
By buying traffic I mean any method that costs you money. Pay per click, banner ads, directory listings, affiliate traffic (you pay a commission), hiring content writers to write articles and submitting them and so on.
Generating it yourself is for all those people who have the time but not the money to buy it.
And doing it yourself (or seeming to) is a lot more effective in most cases than paying for it, as it’s the “Holy Grail” of traffic generation – highly targetted.
It’s certainly easy to do.
#1 – Write something interesting and useful for your target niche and post it on your blog.
#2 – Go hunting for similar blogs in your niche and leave valid and interesting comments. Can I EVER stress this enough? No “me too” comments EVER. Okay? If it’s a good enough comment, then REAL people will start to click through and find your site. When they do, capture their name and email address.
#3 – Sign up to a few forums in your niche, put a link back to your blog in your signature, and get involved in a few interesting threads. I’ll say it again, no “me too” comments. Be helpful, and don’t discuss stuff you don’t understand. If you see a thread that’s gone bad, such as a flame war or has gone over the top in some way, DO NOT COMMENT. If you join in, you will be seen as a jerk and won’t be taken seriously. Remember, you want to help and be interesting. REAL people will start to click through and find your site.
Traffic that comes through to your blog means people will find ALL your products. If you run affiliate schemes for your products (and you should be), then people signing up will drive even more traffic directly to your sites.
Wow! It’s as simple as that, it really is.
You may even want to pump it all up a bit… How?
Well, here’s a brilliant method I’ve just learned about that will bring in a torrent of traffic to your blog.
Yes it takes some work, yes you might find it a bit scary, but if you have the chutzpah and energy to do it, the rewards are incredible.
And… you don’t have to go at it as hard as this person did, you can also scale it down just to try it out. But definitely, definitely… Doing it will bring you in highly targetted traffic, guaranteed.
Having a blog certainly helps but I’m still not sure if a personal blog with your name as a domain name is the best choice.
I do have one but I read more than once, and the authors of what I read are all very successful bloggers, that it’s way better to use something other than your name as the domain name.
On the other hand one successful business person I know of shared that the most successful domain they found was their own name.
Regarding comments, I think that commenting is great and that a lot of people do not realize it. And many of those who do tend to give what I call a lip service comments.
Then there are spam comments which don’t make any sense and I wonder why people even bother with them as most of them will get deleted.
What did you exactly mean by the title Fame and Traffic?
Becoming famous through blogging like a few of the so called A- bloggers?
I think that when a person is already famous he or she will get traffic quite easily without even having to comment or do much beyond having a blog with half decent content.
I like your advice Frank. It is sound and fits with the theme of many of your other posts. That is, give away good advice and don’t necessarily ask for anything in return.
It is a good mantra to live by. Bloggers are givers – giving advice, opinions and recommendations. Some are obviously out to sell more than give as every post is almost 100% sales pitch for something. Others are out to share their journey and along the way make a sale or two, but not until after having first given to the internet community, with a little plug right down near the bottom ;-).
I am pretty sure that most successful ones will fall into the second category. When you take the time to build a relationship with your readers they will return the favour with a sale or two, and everyone goes home happy. | 2019-04-25T04:08:53 | http://frankhaywood.com/fame-and-traffic/ |
1 June / This year’s Tartu city summer campaign takes Tartu in the form of fabulous pop-up festivals to Narva, Pärnu and Tallinn, where, in addition to various performances and awesome exhibitions, several prizes will be given out.
The pop-up festivals take place on 2 June from 1 PM to 4 PM in the Narva castle park, on 9 June from 12 PM to 3 PM in Pärnu at Martens Square and 16 June in Tallinn at Freedom Square. The aim of the campaign is to introduce the many recreational opportunities of Tartu and Tartu County to local tourists, and, at the same time, disprove the idea of Tartu being too far from these cities.
In each city, the main prize is a holiday package in Tartu, whereto the winners can drive in a brand new BMW i3 with an economic electric engine.
Several Tartu businesses have joined the campaign: museums and attractions, hotels, restaurants and cafes, as well as other businesses involved in the tourism sector, who, for their part, have contributed to the preparation of stands introducing Tartu’s opportunities as well as the prize funds. The exhibition created for the campaign, consisting of ten double-sided stands, will remain in each city for a week for the locals of the city to see.
a tasty gift bag from Salvest.
Accommodation, catering and activities for the whole campaign are provided by: Hektor Design Hostel, V Spa and V Spa Hotel, Cafe Pööre in the Atlantis building, Science Centre AHHAA, Upside Down House, Aura Centre, Ice Age Centre, Vudila Playland, Salvest, Tartu Market Hall and its vendors, Seto Line tours, the University of Tartu Museum, Vanemuine Theater, businesses along the Onion Route: Alatskivi Castle, Peipsimaa Visitor Centre, Gallery Voronja, Juhan Liiv Museum and Kadrina Manor, and several other partners.
Contributing to the festival’s programme are associations that have received cultural support from the city of Tartu as well as Salvest, who, in addition to prize packages for the draw, also supports the performers with a small meal and presents the winner of the main prize with a tasty gift bag for the way.
The campaign is organized by Tartu County Tourism Foundation in cooperation with Creative Union. | 2019-04-22T06:09:11 | https://www.tartu.ee/en/news/tartu-city-s-summer-campaign-2018-tartu-lies-at-end-of-street |

For Barak O bama, winning the war in Afghanistan or getting out with as much dignity as possible, is highest priority. Because there is History.
The Russians with their steam roller tactics did not last a decade; and the Brits, when they ruled India, made three expeditions, in the first of which only one medical man, mounted on a mule, came back from the thirty thousand that had gone in. Thereafter the next two times they went in, shot up some, placed their minion on the throne and wisely came back quick!
The Brits were also wise when they chose to let the North West Frontier Province (which neighbors Afghanistan) have semi autonomy ie they left it strictly alone. Whenever the tribals got restive and made trouble, a battalion or brigade marched in, burnt the crops, razed some structures, shot up some and got shot up even while ‘picketing’ the return back. After each such expedition there was a period of some quiet till the tribesmen again got restive.
There is a very nice story titled ‘Students Interlude’ (Slim was trying to learn urdu) in Slim’s ‘Unofficial History’. He recounts a tale of one such expedition at the end of which through the round about existing communication channels, his unit sends a message to the tribals telling them to pull up their socks as this time they had fought badly and suffered severe casualties. A while later, back comes the reply confirming that this time that indeed was unfortunately the truth. While not offering excuses, they however, gave a reason which was that whereas their rifles had been captured from the Brits (a neat punch that), their ammunition was Russian. Unfortunately the two had not been synchronized; now that detail had been attended to and the Brits could look forward to getting a warmer reception when they came next! Who can, but not, respect such types?
The French and the Americans were both defeated in Vietnam. Bernard Fall in his ‘Street Without Joy’, recounts this small incident which was a pointer to him that the French had lost the War.
Another sharp salute, an about turn and back marches the Sergeant and stands in his old place. The officers finish their drinks and resume their game. After some time, the Sergeant, despite the starched shorts, squats on his haunches. The sun goes down, the bugles begin sounding the ‘Retreat’ and the Tricolor begins to be hauled down. The game carries on smoothly without a seconds break, the ladies continue their chatter. The Sergeant, however, is standing sharply at ‘Attention’ and saluting the French Tricolor as it comes down.
Bernard Fall says that this scene hit him hard and it told him that the French had lost the War.
John Maynard Keynes was a British economist whose ideas have had a major impact on modern economic and political theory and on many governments’ fiscal policies. He advocated interventionist government policy, by which the government would use fiscal and monetary measures to mitigate the adverse effects of economic recessions, depressions and booms. The older ideas held that free markets would automatically provide full employment as long as workers were willing to lower their wage demands.
Shortly before the end of the great depression Keynes’ ideas were put into practice by leading western economies. During the fifties and sixties, the success of Keynesian economics was so resounding that almost all capitalist governments around the world adopted its policies.
However in the 7os, Milton Friedman and others were less optimistic about the potential for interventionist government policy to complement the free market. But in 2008 Keynes’s ideas enjoyed a revival, with Keynesian thinking being behind the plans of President Barack Obama and other global leaders to rescue the economy.
Time Magazine named Keynes one of 100 most influential people of the 20th century and reported “His radical idea that governments should spend money they don’t have may have saved capitalism”. He is one of the fathers of modern theoretical macroeconomics.
“If you have a gun, you can rob a bank but if you have a bank, you can rob everyone”.
Personal impact is made by how we are seen, heard (voice, words and thought) and our moods. Here are the attributes of the magnetic men and women of the world.
The first quality is … P O I S E.
Waking, sleeping, walking, talking, sitting, standing, doing most anything. An inherent consciousness of being and remaining in poise. No awkwardness, stiffness, embarrassment.
There is a natural C O O L N E S S and R E S E R V E, in muscles and nerves. Movements are smooth, fluent, languid; never jerky, erratic, spasmodic. No restlessness, uneasiness, fidgetiness – physical, mental or nervous. A perpetual, natural watchfulness over one self aimed at remaining cool, relaxed and in poise.
The next two qualities are diametric opposites and seem to alternate. They are difficult of description and are detailed elsewhere.
On the one hand there is an aura of Controlled N E R V O U S I N T E N S I T Y. High ‘Nervous Tautness‘, alertness or tension energy – but always under leash. Controlled yet relaxed intensity. Pulsating life is present in every fiber of the body. The palpable alertness of the carnivore.
Alternating with this leashed nervous intensity, there is a ‘L O O S E N E S S of BODY & LIMB’. The physical aspect is languid, the movements relaxed, rugged, natural – yet with mind and thought behind them.. The naturalness depicts a rugged strength borne in ultra grace. Some descriptions, “A peculiar lightness even for such a heavily built man” ………… “The lithe indian like tread” ……… “Lazy as a panther stretching in the sun; lethal as a panther ready to strike”.
Next is a facial characteristic. It is the ‘O P E N’ face. This gives a genuinely positive and friendly impression. It also helps gives the eyes a vital aspect when being addressed or when speaking. The eyes are never piercing or staring but there is a subtle friendly quality.
Finally the V O I C E. This immediately draws attention and commands respect. All voices are developed by habit or training. Voice development is an exact and near mathematical process – and not slow at that.
1. Poise coupled with physical, mental and nervous coolness.
2. Nervous intensity under leash.
3. Relaxed looseness of body and limb.
Constant companionship with one naturally gifted with magnetisml induces magnetism. But it is better developed by study and training.
A fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished.
Be noble minded! Your own heart is what matters – not the opinions of others.
Dare to err, and Dream. Will it, and briskly set to work.
Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing; and he who considers too much will perform little.
It hinders the creative work of the mind if the intellect examines too closely the ideas as they pour in.
It is criminal to steal a purse. It is daring to steal a fortune. It is a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.
Of all the possessions of this life, fame is the noblest.
Great souls suffer in silence; and happy is he who learns to bear what he cannot change.
As freely as the firmament embraces the world or the sun pours forth its beams impartially, so Mercy must encircle both friend and foe. | 2019-04-18T20:29:39 | https://improveacrati.wordpress.com/2009/04/ |

The 12th annual Indigenous Peoples Day at C.P. Blakely involved dancing, food, drum circles and hands-on activities.
The day-long event had the Grade 4 students at the school learning about Indigenous Peoples and their cultures through activities and special guests.
In the afternoon the staff and students were treated to performances by Indigenous dancers. An explanation of each dance was given so the students could understand their importance and meaning.
A few times in the afternoon the students were also invited to dance together and tryout some of the movements they were shown. | 2019-04-26T07:57:25 | https://www.sylvanlakenews.com/community/watch-sylvan-lake-students-learn-about-indigenous-cultures/ |

Pretreat or produce high purity water for industrial and commercial processes.
Reverse osmosis systems can be used for boiler pretreatment, drinking water applications, food and beverage service, ice production/drinking water, humidification, vehicle wash and water jet cutting machines.
Pretreat boiler feed water to reduce scaling and energy use with reverse osmosis.
Impurities in water become an important consideration when water is to be used for steam generation. With the trend toward higher-pressure boilers, pretreatment has become the key to successful operation of industrial power plants. Feedwater must be pretreated to remove impurities to control deposition, carryover and corrosion in the boiler system. Also, treated water has no minerals for scale formation and has very low dissolved gasses.
Reverse osmosis food and beverage processing quality.
Reverse osmosis can be used for separating constituents of foods and beverages on a molecular basis, where the foods are in solution and where a solution is separated from one less concentrated by a semi-permeable membrane. Reverse osmosis is a more economical operation for concentrating food liquids (such as fruit juices) than conventional heat-treatment processes. Research has been done on concentration of orange juice and tomato juice. Its advantages include a lower operating cost and the ability to avoid heat-treatment processes, which makes it suitable for heat-sensitive substances like the protein and enzymes found in most food products.
Pretreat water for deionization systems.
RO water is not as pure as ion exchanged (DI) water and is often used before the ion exchange process. When using RO water to feed deionizers or ion exchange systems, it extends their life and improves efficiency. In order to achieve high purity water, an RO is normally needed. Also, RO can remove bacteria and water-borne parasites.
Improve steamer operation, ice production, drinking water quality for restaurants with reverse osmosis.
Reverse osmosis can remove minerals that increase efficiency of restaurant steamers. Equipment life is extended and maintenance is reduced. Water purity can also affect dish washing efficiency, washing machine lifespan, linen/textile lifespans and more. RO systems can increase system efficiency as well as the lifespan of the water using machinery. | 2019-04-22T02:54:08 | https://www.total-water.com/solutions/reverse-osmosis/ |
Same design, just various silhouettes, & fabrics. I originally created the garment on the right. But felt it was a bit plain, I love the flowy skirt & the soft hand of the Charmeuse.
So decided to opt, for a fun print.

I blog a lot about running - my races, my training and my general struggles and successes with the sport that I've come to love. But an activity that I love just as much and spend just as much time practicing doesn't get mentioned nearly as often on the blog. I'm talking, of course, about yoga.
I practice an average of three times a week, mostly by attending classes at Morning Glory Yoga Studios, which is owned and operated by one of my closest Nacogdoches friends. I write a monthly newsletter for the studio and do other PR and promotional tasks (press releases and Facebook, mostly) in exchange for my membership. And I love it. It doesn't matter that I have the world's tightest hips, that I can't touch my toes until the end of class, that my mind never stops moving, not even in svasana. The thing about yoga is that it's always a practice - you're never finished. Today I'm working on handstand. But once I master that pose, there will be a new challenge waiting. This is just as true for the beginner attending their first yoga class and the guru in India who has been practicing for forty years. In yoga, we're all equals.
Saturday: Amy picked me up at noon and we proceeded to collect the rest of our group, which included Eralda, Chip, Cyndra and Arrie. We then drove 3.5 hours until we arrived at our hotel in Dallas. There was time for one beer at the hotel bar and then we headed to the King Spa and Sauna to meet Ricky and his friend.
The Spa was not a spa in the traditional sense. It's open 24-7 and features tons of different rooms that you could sit in - some were very hot and humid, some were cold, some featured aromas, some pumped up with oxygen. There was also food, chairs for reading or napping, and places to just hang out and enjoy the experience. And then there were the baths.
As soon as we got there, the men and the ladies separated and we striped down to our birthday suits, then entered the baths. First we sat in the hot bath, which was 105 degrees. We alternated the hot bath with the cold bath, which was a terrible, terrible 60 degrees. I couldn't go in past my waist. When we were driving to the spa I got nervous about the whole naked thing, but once I got into the baths it seemed like the most normal, natural thing I could do. It helped that everyone else was naked and walking around like it was no big deal. Fake it until you make it, right?
After the baths we were given uniforms to wear, which were the ugliest things in the world. Then we visited all the saunas (this part was co-ed). My favorite was a super hot hut (I guessed it was about 130 degrees). We sat in it for about eight minutes and I closed my eyes and enjoyed the sensation of sweat rolling down my body.
Our awesome spa uniforms. Photo by Amy Sanford (as you can see).
After the spa, we had dinner at the Spiral Diner which is one of my favorite restaurants in all the world - totally vegan, totally delicious. And then it was all I could do to keep my eyes open until I got back to my bed and fell asleep.
Ashtanga yoga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures — a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.
Practioners of Ashtanga cannot move on to the next series of poses until they master the first one. There are eight series in all, but most people practice the standing series (five each of Sun Salutations A and B) and the Primary Series. This wasn't my first Ashtanga class so I knew what to expect (you practice the same poses in the same order each time) and there is something about the disciplined approach to yoga that I appreciate. I don't know if I would want Ashtanga to be my main practice, but branching out and trying new yoga styles and instructors is definitely a learning experience.
After class ended we took a break and then jumped right into the workshop part of the morning. Ricky basically broke down the primary sequence and we practiced each individual move again, and again, and again. We got deeper into the poses and really got a chance to explore our bodies in them. This was even tougher than the actual class - so many chaturangas, so many chair poses! My shoulders felt like they were going to fall off and the next day, my abs were sore. But again - so educational and so worth it.
Lunch at the Cosmic Cup!
After our morning of yoga ended, we had lunch at the Cosmic Cup, a great vegetarian hippie restaurant in Dallas, and then drove back to Nacogdoches. On the drive home, we passed an over sized chair in a field and stopped to take photos. Obviously. It was the perfect end to a great weekend. | 2019-04-23T06:32:40 | https://www.betterthannever.org/2011/05/ashtanga-yoga-workshop-with-ricky-tran.html |
He defended a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee.
In this op-ed, Robert Newhouse explains how Donald Trump's objection to the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue furthers the white supremacist strategy of using monuments to the Confederacy as a way of inhibiting the process of achieving racial equality.
To condemn President Donald Trump for his moral ambiguity in the wake of his comments regarding the events in Charlottesville is to miss the point entirely. The president was not and has not been ambiguous. He has been very clear: When he appeared in front of reporters yesterday, August 15, at Trump Tower in New York City, Trump put on full display the reality about where his allegiances have lain and will continue to lie: not with those fighting against hate, but with the neo-Confederate white nationalists actively perpetuating it. Rather than condemning the actions of the white nationalists — one of whom is charged in the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer — Trump argued that among the marchers were some "very fine people," doubling down on his original accusation that the blame for Saturday's violence could be attributed to "many sides." In making such an assertion, the president furthered the misleading narrative that equates the behavior of the counterprotesters with that of the white nationalists.
The seeds of Trump's recent defense of white nationalists, and white supremacy as an ideology, can be traced back to long before Trump was ever interested in politics. As a real estate developer, the young Trump was accused of systemically discriminating against black prospective tenants. More recently, Trump hesitated to disavow the endorsement of former KKK leader David Duke during his presidential campaign.
And so it can hardly come as a surprise that Trump refused at first to even mention white supremacy in the wake of a clear and proud demonstration of white supremacist sentiment in Charlottesville. Neither should it be a surprise that when he did finally say, "Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans" with the help of a teleprompter, he did so in a way that never directly referred to the specific white nationalists who marched in Charlottesville. Least surprising of all, if perhaps most troubling, was Trump's recent press conference in which he not only continued to defend the white nationalist protesters in Charlottesville but also appeared to have internalized some of their ideas and presented them as his own.
The unhinged press conference also featured the president impugning what he described as "the alt-left" for "charging...with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs," promoting a relatively new propagandist phrase created by the so-called alt-right, a term that itself is a rebranding of white nationalism. In Trump's assessment, he again failed to call the alleged violent behavior of white males "acts of terror," as other elected leaders did and criticized Trump for not doing. Instead, the president deflected a question on the subject, asking, "Is it murder? Is it terrorism?" As former CIA intelligence analyst, Cindy Otis wrote for Teen Vogue, "Trump was quick to call it terrorism when three men drove a van into a crowd on London Bridge earlier this year, using it to justify his travel ban, but he has remained silent on multiple domestic and international attacks against Muslims." Ultimately, "it’s a double standard that poses a security risk to this country," she concluded.
Two distinct periods saw a significant rise in the dedication of monuments and other symbols [of the Confederacy]. The first began around 1900, amid the period in which states were enacting Jim Crow laws to disenfranchise the newly freed African Americans and re-segregate society. This spike lasted well into the 1920s, a period that saw a dramatic resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan, which had been born in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. The second spike began in the early 1950s and lasted through the 1960s, as the civil rights movement led to a backlash among segregationists.
When Trump lamented the plans to remove the statue in his press conference, stating, "You are changing history. You're changing culture," he was echoing the white supremacist ideology that inspired the erection of monuments to the Confederacy, or the fundamental defense of slavery, to fight the process of promoting racial equality. In a dangerous perversion of one argument used to object to the removal of offensive markers of the Confederacy — one that maintains the necessity of keeping these markers as a means of warding off future injustices — Trump appears to object to the removal of these markers of a racist past because of their value to those who openly subscribe to white supremacist ideals. In defending a monument whose existence springs from an instinct to preserve elements of the Confederacy — a movement grounded in an ideology built on the presupposition that white people are inherently superior — Trump clearly and unapologetically furthered white supremacist ideology.
In light of Trump's defense of the morality and intentions of the white nationalists who flooded Charlottesville last weekend, we must not forget the words of New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu, who said on the occasion of his city's removal of monuments to the Confederacy on May 19, "To literally put the Confederacy on a pedestal in our more prominent places — in honor — is an inaccurate recitation of our full past, is an affront to our present and it is a bad prescription for our future." And so in the weeks to come, when we see more and more monuments to the Confederacy taken down, it is essential that we remember the true purpose of these dramatic acts of strategic erasure: not simply to quiet the past, but to remove these cancerous stains of oppression from our cities so that they may not continue to influence our nation. | 2019-04-24T00:30:00 | https://www.teenvogue.com/story/how-donald-trump-furthered-white-supremacism |
Today’s recipe actually is the foundation for an upcoming recipe I’m over-the-moon excited to share with you next week. And believe me, you’re going to want to get excited cause it’s one I’ve wanted to create for you for years and for some reason just never got to it until now.
So there’s a restaurant that started here in Utah – Cafe Rio. Americanized Mexican grub. Totally delish.
Next week, I’ll be sharing a healthy veganized makeover of my favorite thing on the menu. But before we get there, I have to give you a re-do of one of the pieces that make it so amazing.
Cafe Rio has a cilantro lime rice that is full of flavor and adds more than just your boring ole rice. But rice. It’s definitely not my favorite food. And it doesn’t have a whole lot of health benefits, so for the last year, I’ve been jazzing it up in my own way.
I’m talking added protein to your burrito bowls without the meat.
More nutrition in your tacos.
Or just a little more oomph to your southwestern themed meal.
Quinoa. That’s where it’s at.
The best part about this recipe is that you can accomodate it to either stovetop cooking or Instant Pot cooking. I don’t know about you, but I’m in love with my IP and love that I can set my quinoa to cook for 5 minutes and then just walk away. I don’t have to worry about it boiling over on the stove. I don’t have to be right there to turn it off as soon as it’s finished cooking.
But of course, if you’re not on the Instant Pot train, you are more than welcome to cook it on the stovetop. I added both ways in the instructions.
Thing is – I don’t care how you make it. I only care that you do. You’ve gotta.
Cook on manual for 5 minutes and allow pressure to release naturally. Once pressure is completely released, fluff quinoa and mix in lime juice.
Bring mixture to a boil. Cover and lower heat to a low simmer for 25-30 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and most liquid has evaporated. Fluff quinoa and mix in lime juice. | 2019-04-20T02:46:29 | https://happyfoodhealthylife.com/copycat-cafe-rio-cilantro-lime-quinoa-instant-pot-or-stovetop/ |
It’s school Easter holidays and this week my parents visited. We bought mum an Indian cookery class for her birthday so it was only fair she showed us, one evening, what she’d learned! Delicious. | 2019-04-22T13:10:14 | https://kitchentitbits.co.uk/2019/04/14/my-week-in-meals-w-c-07-04-19/ |

As you can probably tell from my lack of posts, I’ve been working what feels like 24/7, but I wanted to let you know I’m still here. And if I weren’t under a brain cloud, I would be able to remember the name of this arch. What I can tell you is that it’s 1500 feet from the top of the arch to the bottom of the canyon, and there were people posing on top of the arch. I think they were crazier than I feel right now. Hugs to all.
On this Mother’s Day, most of which I have spent with Kelsea doing pre-college stuff, snuggled up on the couch, on this wet, slight snowy day, I am reminded of how much perseverance starting, nurturing, and living a life takes. For all of us. I hope you have all had a happy Mother’s Day. For those of us who are without our own mothers now, it is a blessing to know that we were so loved and that the stars are the lights in our mothers eyes still, glowing as they watch us.
Were you expecting a cocktail? I could understand that. I will occasionally take pictures of drinks, but I don’t take pictures of food, as some travelers do. Part of the essence of food is the place, the air, the company, the ambiance, and a photo of a burger just doesn’t capture that. We had some of the best burgers I’ve ever had at the restaurant at Augusta Bay. Did I take a picture of them? No. I did take a picture of my last Kalik at the airport. And a picture of our small bottle of Night Train Express, the cheapest booze ever, which we bought to see what it was like, since it had been the drink of choice among hobos in our childhood memories. And there might be a picture of me drinking out of a bottle of Cuban Rum. But I won’t share those. Instead, I’ll share the rocks in front of the white sand beach at Exuma Palms.
I would have liked it if I had gotten the monument sharp, but the softness is pretty too.
Garden of the Gods is a wealth of rock formation beauty. The fires encroached on the area this past summer, but fortunately the park was spared. It’s a wonderful place to hike, meditate, journey, and be awestruck. Time for a chilly hike soon!

What to Expect: History, Biography, Braille.
We all know what braille is, and most of us know why it is important. However, how many of us know the history that inspired it? In Six Dots, Jen Bryant and Boris Kulikov use a magical combination of words, braille, and images to open up to the story of braille to young sighted readers. The books tells the story of Louis Braille as a young boy, clever and inquisitive but tragically blinded when an accident leads to infection and robs him of sight before the age of five. Not to be deterred, Louis – with the help of a loving family – overcomes the obstacles before him, and opens up the world of knowledge to other blind children everywhere.
Six Dots is not only a story about braille – it is also a story about reading, and about the power of education and the support and love of family. Told from the perspective of young Louis, the story emphasizes now his different to other children, but his sameness: his curiosity, his mistakes, and his determination are what make him relatable to young readers, suggesting that whatever the obstacles one faces in life are, we all have the tools we need to surmount them. With a braille alphabet printed at the front and back of the book, an author’s informational note, and portions of the text (such as the title) represented in both letters and braille, the book is a useful tool for anyone wanting to start teaching their child the braille language. More than that, however, it is a touching story about a little boy’s quest to read, and about ability rather than disability.
Jen Bryant has published poetry, biographies, picture books, and fiction for young readers. Her picture-book-biography collaborations with Melissa Sweet—A River of Words: The Story of William Carlos Williams, The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus, and A Splash of Red: The Life and Art of Horace Pippin—have all won multiple awards. Jen lives with her family in southeastern Pennsylvania. You can read more about her at JenBryant.com.
Boris Kulikov graduated from the Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinema in St. Petersburg, Russia. Since 1997 he’s been living and working as an illustrator in Brooklyn, New York. His many acclaimed books include Papa’s Mechanical Fish by Candace Fleming, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, and the Max books (Max’s Words, Max’s Castle, Max’s Dragon, Max’s Math) by Kate Banks. You can find him at BorisKulikov.com.

Good evening everyone. Firstly, my sincere thanks to your LCCL executive for giving me the privilege of sharing our ongoing journey of faith and witness with you, my sisters and brothers in the religious life. I come – not as a theologian or expert, because I am neither. I come as one who is travelling the same road as you, as one who tries to discern what this call seems to be inviting us to in what is a very challenging global and local context – which places before us some real questions and challenges for those of us called to the ministry of leadership. | 2019-04-26T10:34:48 | https://www.lcclsa.co.za/living-on-the-edge/ |

Pubcon is the Las Vegas conference that deals with Web Marketing, Social Media, Search Engine Optimization, Web Tools, and every intersection of the aforementioned. For three days, we spent 8 hours going from session to session to get advice and interact with some of the biggest names in the industry (Matt Cutts, the exalted one himself from Google, was in attendance).
So what did I learn in my time in Vegas? Good question. Contrary to what may be popular belief, it had nothing to do with a roulette wheel, the sports book (although I am kicking myself for not laying down $50 on the Spurs over the Mavericks), or how to spot a lady of the evening along the Strip. No, my new knowledge is more boring, but applicable to the job that I do. First, I learned that Beacon is well ahead of the curve on many industry practices. With only six months here, I expected to get a bit overwhelmed with new knowledge and competitors’ insights. Instead, I saw that many presenters were reinforcing practices that we already do (i.e. extensive keyword analysis) and many of our competitors were asking questions that I could have answered with ease.
On the new information front, I did get exposure to some programs, such as Majestic, that I have not been using that I am itching to try moving forward. In addition, while they may not be practices directly suggested by the speakers, I was able to step away from some of my standard techniques and look at how I can introduce some new items with my current clients. Sometimes, one can get so wrapped up in SEO that he forgets that it is a means to an end, not the end itself. I have some great ideas that will be very applicable for some of the companies I work with heading into the winter season.
Overall, it was a very worthwhile trip. I am looking forward to going back next year. Next time, I will remember to bet on the Spurs. | 2019-04-19T21:04:47 | https://www.beacontechnologies.com/blog/2009/12/return-from-pubcon/ |

Do You Feel Stuck In Life In Some Way You Can’t Quite Figure Out?
I’ve lived this crazy feeling for so long— feeling blocked by some invisible forces that I could never quite explain. Consciously, my beliefs are so clear to me that it’s stunning. I know what I’m all about, consciously. Chances are, you do, too.
If you’re avoiding something or someone, dreading something, fearing something or feel trapped in any kind of friendship or relationship or obligation… there’s something toxic holding you in this place. If you’re compelled to fix things that aren’t yours to fix, if you feel unworthy, unloved or spinning in circles, something toxic is happening that has you in a spiral.
If you are meditating, but aren’t experiencing a positive change, you may want to shift your space and your attitude in the process. Here are some tips to set yourself up to zone out and check in!
You’ll know when you’ve succeeded in your vampire energy detox when life is brighter, your home is more organized, you’re happier, more energetic. You’ll sleep more soundly. It’s amazing how much more free time you’ll have. Money and love might even flow easier to you! You’ll get your personal magic back.
3 Feng Shui Ways To Make The Most Of Your Day!
These are three big concepts to help you add more flow and abundance to your life and take the drama out of the day.
To take it all to the next level: immerse yourself in abundance!
One Idea To Help You Let Go Of Things You Don’t Need In Your Life!
I know one thing: it can be scary to let things go. If you let go of a job, what if another one doesn’t come?
What if you reject someone who could be “the one”? Or leave something that’s not healthy and wind up alone?
What of you need that dress for a party a year from now and, even though its loaded with bad memories, you will need to buy another one?
The most valuable lessons in my life have come from people who have shown me that they lack empathy. It is shocking and scary when you realize that some people can’t get beyond themselves, especially people who care about you. Their lives are such that they can’t see their way out of their own way.
What if you only woke up today with the things that you thanked the Universe for yesterday? That question sparks the feng shui of the day, all about saying thank you in a much more profound way!
Motion is something we forget about… until things get blocked up and boring. Today’s fast feng shui is all about elevating rooms… by making them move!
Do you ever feel like there are some patterns in your life you can’t seem to shake, no matter what? There are stories we all tell about our childhood, our parents and our own lives. We live them out unconsciously or consciously. And we collect props from these stories- photos, furniture, clothing, jewels, letters, papers – and they make the story even more real. To escape the story, the karmic loop of sorts, you set yourself free.
From the well-meaning in your life you will hear about: How you have to be cautious. How there aren’t many better things “out there.” How you need to have something better before you leave. How you need to stop being so emotional, so unreasonable, so fickle, so entitled or so ambitious. | 2019-04-21T12:57:13 | http://vividlife.me/ultimate/author/dana-claudat/ |

Emotional Intelligence is the secret sauce of leadership.
When leaders are able to show self-leadership, they are then able to lead from a place of awareness, understanding and resilience. They are then able to lead change that ‘sticks’, have the difficult conversations, and build high performing teams.
Dare to live the life you want, to be the person you know you can be.
I'm not the norm. Sassy, authentically real with a deeply positive perspective.
