into the woods, living deliberately: Who's Your Teacher?
This morning I was talking with my friend Pollyanna. We've known each other since our first kids were babies. Jake was less than 6 months old and her daughter was nearly 2 months old. I had specifically chosen a playgroup of first time moms with babies who were younger than Jake. I knew already that something was different about my son, and the longer we could "look normal" while I figured out what was wrong, the better. Of course the playgroup was all girls, and they all passed him by in a matter of months, but by that time I had somehow managed to rope in a few women to be my friends, in spite of my different, but beautiful boy. While I don't see all of those women now, I know that in addition to Pollyanna, I could probably call at least two of them right now and they would help me if they could. It was, for the most part, a great group of people.
So, of course our first children are all the same age, and should be going into the same grades, etc. When I was talking with Pollyanna, I had to ask what grade her daughter was going into. Perhaps if I were a better friend, I would know these things, but mostly, I realized, I should know because my son should be going into the same grade, or it should be close, maybe he should be in the grade above hers. I should be at least as accurate as to be within 2 years...and I had no idea; just couldn't come up with it without asking, or starting to do some math, or counting all of Jake's teachers, which would just put me in a dark place because I am still not over kindergarten.
And while my conversation was such a nice welcome home after so many days away from my community, my tribe, after I hung up I was melancholy. A piece of my heart, in spite of being so full of joy it could burst, was sad. This has nothing to do with Pollyanna, or either of her beautiful, talented children... in fact I should celebrate the problem I have... I will never need to worry about what grade Jake is going into ever again; as long as he stays at WunderSkool, it will never matter. He may change classrooms, and certainly, at eighteen or so he will switch to the adult program, but as long as he is a part of that program, it just won't matter. All that matters there is his development, his needs, his growth, his happiness; the things that are important.
So why the frowny face jennyalice?
Markers, milestones, certification, progress checks... they are those bits of childhood that made our parents proud, or got us grounded. The little slips of paper in the mail from the state, "Your child is gifted." or "Your child meets the state standards for reading." There was the "N" for "needs improvement" I received erroneously in second grade, right before spring break, which made me lose my sh*t so badly that I cried all the way home on the bus (having looked at my report card even though you weren't supposed to look at it before your parents did...). That little "N" made me so upset that my dad, who was somehow home, and not at work, drove me back to school so he could speak with my teacher who thankfully was still there. Those report cards, checking the list on the wall the week before school started to see who your teacher would be, the anticipation of a new desk...shopping for school supplies and back-to-school fashionable clothing purchases... I don't really need to worry about any of that for Jake. None of it.
I buy clothes in the fall because he normally has grown so much over the summer it's a necessity. I clean out his backpack and lunch box, because they are filthy, but he's been using the same backpack and lunch box since I put him on that little yellow short bus 7 years ago. He will go to the same classroom, at the same school, for a very long time, and he can't even tell me if he has apprehension about the one new thing he'll have tomorrow... the bus driver.
I'm not grieving really. I'm not feeling all that left out. I just noticed. I noticed that we are different at our house, again. Even in the simplest ways, our house will continue to run differently than other houses with kids the same age. And while we will go through many of these little things with Jake's little sister, we aren't racing to Target today to get Jake a pencil case, and some wide-ruled paper. | 2019-04-25T08:39:14 | http://www.jennyalice.com/2010/08/whos-your-teacher.html |

By increasing fruit exposure to sunlight and influencing fruit development, leaf thinning in the fruit zone can improve grape quality and lower disease incidence; however, further investigations on the timing, varietal response and intensity are needed to optimize results and to better understand underlying physiologic responses. Fruit zone leaf thinning was applied at different timing and intensities to evaluate its effect on cluster health and fruit composition in Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Treatments consisted of control (C), pre-bloom leaf thinning (PB) and two levels of fruit-set leaf thinning (three leaves, PF3 and six leaves, PF6). In an additional project on Cabernet Sauvignon, two levels of hedging (17th node, NH and 12th node, H) were integrated with no leaf thinning (L) and fruit set leaf thinning (LR, three leaves). All leaf thinning treatments consistently reduced disease incidence compared to control vines in both varieties, with the reduction extent varying between 2017 and 2018. Yield was not negatively affected by leaf thinning treatments, even though PB reduced cluster compactness by decreasing the number of berries per cluster of Chardonnay in 2017. Control vines tended to have greater titratable acidity than defoliated vines, while Brix and pH responses varied between seasons. No direct positive correlation was found between sunlight exposure and norisoprenoids concentration. Post fruit set leaf thinning PF6 consistently increase free norisoprenoids at harvest, while pre-bloom defoliation never did. Heterogeneous responses were observed for bound and total norisoprenoids. In Cabernet Sauvignon free, bound and total 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphtalene (TDN) was consistently increased by PF3. Hedging negatively influenced Brix and anthocyanins accumulation in 2017, and increased free norisoprenoids while decreasing the bound and total fraction. Results revealed that a high level of stress possiblt caused by excess sunlight and/or reduced photosynthesis might negatively affect norisoprenoids glycosylation. | 2019-04-21T02:29:41 | https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/handle/10919/87535 |

my foray back into game development after not really messing with it for a while. ultimately, this project sat around for about a year with no progress on it after doing three stages really quickly, so i decided to call it quits and release it with the stages that were complete and/or acceptably good (1, 2, 5, and the true final boss). there was a second final boss planned along with a couple other neat things, but concepts either got canned or were never realized in the first place. i feel like it stands as a pretty neat thing as it is, though. the included text file contains information on score and gameplay mechanics. for some reason, the score font doesn't load properly. a mystery that will live on, i'm sure.
there's a second build of the game available here called the "DEV" build - this comes with a text file including instructions on activating developer features, and this build also contains a couple of goodies cut from the public "final" version: stage 3, and the true true final boss, which reveals a bit more of the concept and vision i had in mind with this project if it were to be completed. | 2019-04-25T08:16:57 | https://mulengine.itch.io/harpysiren |

One of the things I’ve been trying to force myself to do over the last few months is to set more realistic expectations on myself so that I can deliver things in a way that is comfortable for myself. I don’t know about you, but I’m more own worst enemy when it comes to giving myself deadlines and setting schedules for how and when I’ll complete things.
It has been over the last couple years, my single biggest source of personal frustration with how I’ve gone about things.
It’s funny too because I totally recognize that it’s a problem but yet when I’m doing my planning for a project, I inevitably make the mistake of not giving myself enough time and committing to crazy schedules.
When Scott and I did our AWS Course on Udemy late in 2017, that was a great example – we decided to get it done by a certain date and we pushed for that. I think I ended up working like 56 hours on the course in a week on top of doing Casual Marketer AND working on a huge submission for my 40 hour per week, day job.
It was crazy – it got done, but I was a wreck and I didn’t REALLY get a chance to have a break for about 5 weeks after that! I went from one project at work to the next for over a month and when that was finally done and Christmas rolled around, I just needed to mentally check out for a few days.
But a lot of the time, particularly in my online businesses, I end up just missing the deadlines, pushing things back and watching a cascade of deadline failure back everything up.
It’s frustrating and something I need to fix.
Let me start by saying, this is a personal discipline issue. I’m normally pretty good about things like this, but setting silly deadlines and crushing projects together in tight timeframes is my kryptonite.
This strategy worked – I gave myself about three weeks to get everything done, I did it in about a week (I was further along than I thought) and I managed to keep my focus.
I’ve now lined up the next project that I’m working on which is again, finishing off a partially completed thing. I have decided I won’t work on another project outside this one until it’s done and tomorrow has been set aside to get the timeline sorted for completion so that I know what I’m looking at.
It’s kind of funny, but I do this kind of program management all day at work and then I routinely don’t apply it to my own business with as much diligence as I probably should.
What they say about plumbers having leaky faucets is right sometimes.
I’m willing to bet that every single person reading this has a laundry list of half finished projects and initiatives that they want to get done in their business. Some of those will be just nascent ideas that you’d started but haven’t put much work into and others will be those ones where you get 80% finished and don’t finish them off before moving onto one of those pesky nascent ideas.
So here’s my challenge for you.
Put all of these projects down on a list and then put them in a completion order of some kind. You can sort the order however you want – you might decide to knock off the projects that are furthest along, it could be the ones that stand to deliver the most value or it could even be the ones that are the most fun.
But create your list and order it.
Then next to the first task on the list, assign a due date.
But not just any “due date” because part of the problem is that we overestimate our ability to get things done and underestimate the time it will take to do it.
So the due date should have some contingency built into it – let’s be generous, give ourselves 100% contingency for the first task. If you think it’s going to take you a week, give yourself two week.
Don’t fret that you’re overcooking the contingency, if you finish early, you get it back.
Here’s the thing about contingency though, it needs to have a cost attached to it – if you don’t have a cost, you don’t respect the initial deadline. Using our example above, if you think it will take you a week, but you have two weeks with contingency, then you’ll no doubt doddle around and not finish until the end of the second week.
That’s why contingency needs to have a cost attached to it.
I’ve heard of a couple of good ones – one guy I know, he assigned a dollar value per day to his contingency and when he uses it, he has to contribute that amount to a charity that he hates. For example, this guy is an atheist, so when he gets into his contingency days, he forces himself to donate $20 per day to a religion – he once had to donate $200 to Scientology which cut him pretty deeply.
And of course, you can reward yourself for finishing your project. Some people don’t work well with just the stick, they need a bit of carrot as well.
For me, I didn’t need any inducements to make me get the book done, but maybe you might need a little something to help keep you focused.
Either way, set up a framework for yourself to focus on one task at a time, keep the motivation in place and drive towards your desired outcome. When you start seeing the benefits of getting stuff done, it will become easier, but take it from me, don’t give up on your structure too soon – you’ll feel like you can take the training wheels off, but you can’t, not yet anyway.
Hopefully, this was beneficial for you and you can apply this tactic to your own business and projects to get more done! | 2019-04-19T06:35:11 | https://casualmarketer.com/delivering-at-your-own-pace/ |
The first day of Acquia Engage seemed like it was going to be tough to top, but Day 2 was not about to be outdone. The shorter of the two days, the second day of Engage is usually the more relaxed of the two but this year, the Day 1 excitement carried over.
Day 2 seemed to be easing us back into conference life with a fireside chat between Acquia CEO Tom Erickson and Eric Black of NBC Sports. The two have known each other for quite some time and there was an obvious rapport. Tom's questions and Eric's insights on how digital has fundamentally changed how we view sports, including, ahem, massive global competitions, intrigued the room.
The London Games were a turning point for NBC Sports. That was the first year they decided to stream them online. While continuing to improve things like the two-screen experience and personalization, Eric's biggest concern is always scale. How do you adequately prepare for massive traffic spikes, in which site traffic can go from few viewers to millions when an event is about to begin?
Interestingly, a lot of the ways NBC Sports has learned to deal with digital live event challenges was by looking how traditional broadcast deals with precautions and redundancies. But when pressed to reveal what goes on behind-the-scenes, Eric was tight-lipped. The whole point is for NBC Sports to handle it without the audience ever knowing there was a hiccup.
Day 2 was also a big day for our partners. The first of the partner general session presentations was from MRM / McCann on the ever-popular topic of content and commerce. In their presentation, they walked the audience through the foundation of a solid content program, including team alignment, clear business goals, and not just earning customer trust but maintaining it.
One of the most interesting takeaways for me, as a content marketer, was convergence of B2B and B2C content. As Libby noted, "They are the same, but different." With a thoughtful content strategy in place, you can optimize your content for both B2B and B2C without creating more work.
Being able to bridge the content and commerce gap has never been more important. By 2020, B2B e-commerce sales are projected to reach 6.7 trillion and $523 billion for B2C. The average B2B conversion rate is 10 percent where B2C is 3 percent. Seventy-five percent of B2B buyers are influenced by social versus 90 percent of B2C shoppers.
So what does that mean? The momentum of B2B is increasing, bringing content and commerce closer together.
Wednesday morning's general session wrapped up with an amazing keynote from author and New York University professor Scott Galloway.
We pray to a modern, man-made god known as Google.
Want to live to be 100? Here are the three factors that can make that possible, in order: genetics, lifestyle and the No. 1 reason? How many people you love. The more people you care for, the more likely you are to hit triple digits.
The reason we love Amazon so much, and why we feel the need to have so much stuff, is because it's ingrained into us for survival. Too little used to mean starvation and death so now we massively overcompensated.
Digital marketing has grown 103 percent solely thanks to Facebook and Google. Facebook has more active users than the population of China.
Amazon is a force to be reckoned with because it has the ability to infiltrate any industry. It is a major player if not THE major player in commerce and cloud, but its massive research and development budget lets the company try its hand at any industry -- most recently, groceries and digital marketing. Netflix is already on high alert and if it goes after sports media, it could be devastating networks.
We used to source the greatest minds from all over the world to solve humanity's biggest challenges. There was the Manhattan Project and the moon landing. Now they come together to figure out the best way to sell you things. As Scott said early on in his presentation, he didn't come here with a message of hope.
After eating our feelings during lunch over the bleak prospects of the future (was that just me?) Matt Webb, chief technology officer of Mirum, kicked off the afternoon sessions with innovation. More specifically, what makes a good innovation project? Mirum's answer is to enable meaningful outcomes from customers, partners, stakeholders and society with purpose-driven innovation.
Historically, client IT teams have spent years commanding and controlling platforms. But now we are seeing multi-functioning departments building platforms that embrace modularity. Cloud technology and APIs have made this a reality and early cloud adopters are spearheading the charge into things like microservices and headless to make it all move faster.
So what does purpose-driven innovation look like exactly? It's putting together progressive internal teams while also cultivating collaborative client teams. It's working on multiple project streams, not just one. It's establishing a "North Star" (a common goal that everyone strives for) and it's creating an organization engrained in the culture of "think, make, and test."
Closing out the partner presentations was Jeff Geheb, CTO of VML, to discuss the human dynamic of transformation. Brand transformation is in a state of flux, in which loyalty is sacrificed for price and convenience. Consumer engagement is changing the face of many organizations with demands for frictionless experiences. Infrastructure and product are powering the aforementioned experiences but product needs to go beyond. How can we build an ecosystem that improves and extends the experience?
Despite all the take of innovation, the odds of successful transformation initiatives still feels shockingly low.
The challenge? It takes a village. Success for VML is a group of people working together under a common purpose. Jeff had a great sports metaphor for this. If you think about a baseball team, when you're on defense, everyone is specialized. You have your shortstop, your outfielders, your pitcher, etc. But as soon as you're on offense, you're all batters. It no longer matters what your position is, you have one goal: hit the ball and score runs.
Jeff's last bit of advice was to always be aware of desirability, viability and feasibility when it comes to a project and keeping those three things aligned.
Ron Myers, corporate vice president of digital marketing and operations for Advanced Micro Devices.
Natalie Kerrigan, director of digital technology development for Whole Foods Market.
Natalie said security is top-of-mind because the Whole Foods brand was built on trust.
"As we built our digital strategy, we will use customer information in the right way. It's all part of what we call conscious capitalism,” she said.
Natalie also said she’d like to see more work with the internet of things (IoT) and wearables, an area she sees as having an impact on a healthy lifestyle.
Advanced Micro Devices is always looking to better understand the customer journey, so they can engage with their customers in a different way, Ron said.
"It’s about getting technology out of the way of innovation," he said.
One of those technologies he's most excited for is artificial intelligence, calling it a game-changer for the way it can bring all the pieces of the customer journey together.
For Romy, the main focus is how to weave digital into the daily lives of students. Flexibility is key because sometimes the way students access information is a surprise. A couple years ago, Romy's team realized that multiple students were trying to get transcripts via Xbox. The journey for them is their education, which makes guiding them to completing that journey all the more important.
When asked specifically about their work with customer journeys and what they were excited for, Ron said that as digital has shifted how they market to their customers, it's important to be purposeful with digital. Keep your mission whole and your vision consistent.
Romy said she looks forward to new opportunities to personalize and present information to students and help them discover things they might not have found on their own.
For Whole Foods, the customer journey can be very different from person to person, as healthy eating means different things to different people.
"Historically, colleges and universities have been incubators and open source has always been important,” Romy said. “What’s changed is having cloud providers. Before it was all on premise. Now we can still do what we need to on the front end but have a reliable platform."
One example she gave was digital signage. Across the University of Iowa campus, they use digital signage for alerts. When there is an emergency, they can easily update the signs and let people know what is happening and where to go.
Natalie said open source ties right back to their corporate culture at Whole Foods. The principles align with having a higher purpose than just turning a profit; it's about giving back. This cultural alignment also helps Whole Foods attract the right kind of technical talent.
Ron said open source is part of the Advanced Micro Devices DNA. It has allowed them to challenge the status quo. Ron also said he's happy about their recent move to Drupal 8 and how the community has been helping them to solve problems.
Lynne ended the panel with a two-parter: What tech do you wish was never invited and what are you most excited for?
Natalie: Not a fan of smoke detectors not having self-charging batteries but very excited for in store augmented reality experiences.
Ron: Despises malware (don't we all...) and is looking forward to more connectivity.
Romy: Has a love-hate relationship with smartphones (again, don't we all?) and is looking forward to the maturation of personalization.
After a few closing remarks from Dries, Acquia Engage honored its tradition of ending the conference with a tasting. This year, sommelier Christopher Hoel walked the audience through a selection of fine wines as the day; a fine end to a fine day.
And that's it, that's a wrap, folks. Another Engage has come and gone. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
If you just can't get enough, fear not; we'll have number of posts covering the breakout sessions over the next several weeks. | 2019-04-22T04:11:33 | https://www.acquia.com/fr/blog/acquia-engage-2017-day-2/23/10/2017/3312981 |
I am a 19 year old college student who enjoys programming, designing PCBs, and electronics hacking in my spare time. A few of my specific interests are GPS trackers, MEMS dataloggers, and everything Teensy.
When I first opened the package I found a chip that had bent pins. I was a bit worried, however I quickly fond that all the other chips were in great condition. I have been using them for some hackaday projects and they are performing well and I have not come across a chip that didn't work. Even the chip with bent pins I fixed and I don't even know what chip is was anymore!
Suggestion to the seller though: Include some information in the description on what chips are included. I think that would be nice. | 2019-04-23T19:52:02 | https://www.tindie.com/stores/Hyperbolic_Designs/ |
The necklace is made of silver snake chain that closes with simple handmade silver hook.
The two roll-pieces that the chain carries (they move freely on the chain) were crafted from a silver strip that we textured on surface with natural materials (wooden tree bark, straw, dry teak tree leaves, etc). The silver strip was thinned to roughly around 1 mm thickness by passing it into a rolling mill together with various materials that left the surface textured with beautiful, deeply embossed, natural patterns. Two pieces of silver strip were cut and then simply “rolled” (wrapped to overlap by means of round pliers) into the final shape. The two rolls are of different width (one approx. 16 mm, the other 34 mm) and have uneven (smooth to the touch) edges, so the final result has a very organic feel, that emphasises nicely the rough-looking, irregular natural surface. The clean, precisely fabricated necklace silver chain contrasts nicely with the two heavy, handmade roll-pieces (the weight of the two pieces alone is about 18 g).
Because of the manual process of texturing the metal we can never recreate 100% same surface, however we will make sure the final effect is about the same. Uniqueness of the product is what makes it special, as no two necklaces can be exactly the same. | 2019-04-20T03:10:51 | https://storiesofsilversilk.com/product/silver-necklace-with-two-handmade-wrapped-rolls-with-textured-surface/ |
Cast polymers are unique in the composites industry: they typically don’t have fiber reinforcement and are designed to meet specific strength requirements of an application. Cast polymer molding is used to produce parts of any shape or size.
Gel coat is a specialized polyester resin that is formulated to provide a cosmetic outer surface on a composite product, and to provide weather-ability for outdoor products. Gel coat consists of a base resin and additives.
Solid surface products (also known as densified products) consist of a cast matrix without a gel-coated surface. A vacuum can be used to remove entrapped air in the matrix. Solid surface products offer limitless design styles. | 2019-04-21T08:36:09 | http://compositeslab.com/composites-manufacturing-processes/cast-polymer-molding/ |
The enjoyable thing about a blog as an alternative to a static website is it can easily and have to have a tad bit more personality. Instead of hoping that people get to know you through your blog page and verify the remaining component of the site clearly a good idea to sell directly. A blog is much such device. There might be a good deal of factors you’d want to come up with your website. If you wish to earn a weblog, find sites which hold blogs which have been easy to start using. You have to create a exclusive blog people will want to abide by.
Blogs usually are meant to be by professionals personal. Crafting blogs may be a vital component of content advertising building and keeping up a group, but a lot of people waste time writing blog posts which never receive many stocks and shares or even displays. You are aware that the blog page a part of your company success, that drives visitors your site and converts this into business leads. Understanding how to create a great blog page includes understanding how to effectively reveal pain points. If you wish to understand how to compose a very good blog, you need to practice writing it by using a feeling tone.
You probably have various ideas walking around within your brain, you’re just too scared to place all of them into terms. It’s terrific to have concepts beforehand vs attempting to think of a completely new concept each week. Incidentally, for those who have a idea for a piece, or feedback on a current sheet, please I want to find out!

It is a common perception that starting an edible patch is a tedious job, but it doesn’t have to be. With patience and sound advice, anyone can make a thriving vegetable garden reality.
We will be giving you a few tips here and hopefully you will be able to kickstart your garden project with all the necessary tools and information!
Choosing what to grow is very important so develop a plan and do some research on what plants will thrive in your area depending on the climate. A gardening calendar will help you with seasonal planting, informing you of what vegetables / fruits to grow in which months, and also when to harvest. Try out succession planting too! This will enable you to ensure a continuous supply of your crops, instead of having them coming all in at once.
🍆 Grow plants which provide multiple crops and are high yielding. For example, cucumbers, squash, and beans are excellent options that provides high crop returns.
🍆 Choose to plant crops that grow quickly such as radishes, lettuces and spinach.
🍆 Choose to grow plants which are not resource intensive, plants which does not require a whole lot of watering. Heirloom varieties are a great option.
🍆 Grow vegetables that you like to eat and can be easily stored or preserved, and are expensive to buy at the grocery store.
Herbs last longer on the plant. Besides, having them on hand is an excellent way to save rather than buying a fresh bunch every time you need just a small amount.
These vegetables can be expensive in the supermarket so growing your own is a cost-saving idea. Besides, vegetables like cherry tomatoes also grow much quicker compared to the larger varieties and will have less time for bugs to eat them.
Composting is a way to recycle organic wastes (vegetable scraps and leaves). The way that composting is done is to mix them up in a compost bin and leaving them to break down naturally. The by-product of the compost will serve as good nutrients / fertilisers for plants as it is rich in nitrogen.
🍄🥕 If your compost bin smells, add dry materials such as newspapers or leaf litter.
🍄🥕 Add air by turning the compost to accelerate the composting process.
🍄🥕 Chopping and Shredding compostable organic matter expedites the compositing process!
Growing plants next to each other can act as a natural pest control.
🍅 Planting tomatoes and basil together is said to help protect the tomatoes from being eaten by pests as the basil has powerful scent that repels aphids.
🍅 The pungent smell of onions is said to confuse pests drawn to carrots.
🍅 Crop rotation helps break breeding cycles of pests and soil diseases.
We hope that these tips are helpful for you in your gardening journey and do leave a comment below and tell us what your favourite vegetable to plant is and what method and tricks that has helped you grow a thriving vegetable garden! | 2019-04-23T00:08:03 | https://news.pdlmarketplace.com.au/sustainable-food-news/2018/9/28/gj7h8uo0po6ejv9vgdrn2ihxny7h96 |
My recording is however missing Body Electric and 1969.
My recording is missing Kiss The Carpet, Floorshow, Watch And Adrenochrome. Maybe all recordings do?
Two different setlist for this show, setlist 1 is from Lachert's website and setlist 2 is from Sisterswiki.
Complete recording on Frost Upon The Window bootleg.
Different venue than listed on official TSOM site.
Could be that this date is a mistake, misslabeled bootleg (Brixton Ace LP)?
My last song is listed as "Ghostrider/Louie Louie" so is "Sister Ray" incorrectly added to this setlist?
Both setlists are comfirmed, but which one is correct?
Date according to offical TSOM site. Fits better with locations prior and after this date.
Sisterswiki (and other sites) states that this should have taken place on 5th of August, because of the date of the photos below.
Setlist 1 is not confirmed, setlist 2 I personally have a recording of.
However, my recording differs slightly even from setlist2 - Alice and Adrenochrome are missing, while there is an instrumental/jam between Anaconda and Emma.
If you have a copy of setlist 1 let me know.

NIOSHTIC-2 Publications Search - 20043819 - Environmental violence and physical assault against teachers.
Environmental violence and physical assault against teachers.
Introduction: Teachers are known to be at high risk for work-related violence; however, data specific to risk factors are limited. Data from a case control study were analyzed to determine the effect of reported environmental violence on work-related physical assault among educators working in kindergarten through grade 12 schools. Methods: From the Minnesota license database, 26,000 randomly selected educators were screened for eligibility by mailed questionnaire; 6,180 were eligible for data collection. Phase 1 (12-month recall) identified eligible cases (n = 290) and controls (n = 867) and characteristics of the violent events; Phase 2 (case control, recall from the calendar month before the violent events for cases or a randomly selected month for controls) enabled identification of environmental exposures. Confounders were selected for multiple logistic regression analyses using Directed Acyclic Graphs with reweighting for nonresponse biases. Results: Response rates for each phase were 84%. Assaults were primarily perpetrated by students (95%). Respective risks (ORs; 95% CIs) for physical assault increased for educators working in environments where they witnessed students involved in physical assault 1-3 (2.94, 1.95-4.43), 4-10 (6.61, 3.73-11.72), 10+ (15.66, 7.84-31.27) versus zero times; threat 1-3 (1.49, 0.97-2.27), 4-10 (4.07, 2.40- 6.90), 10+ (8.25, 4.57-14.91) versus zero times; sexual harassment 1-3 (1.94, 1.30-2.89), 4-10 (3.31, 1.73-6.36), 10+ (9.97, 4.47-22.23) versus zero times; verbal abuse, 10+ versus zero times (3.86, 2.26-6.57); bullying, 10+ versus zero times (3.21, 1.89-5.46). Witnessing persons, other than students, engaged in violence was also important: physical assault 1-3, 4-10+ versus zero times (3.14, 1.67-5.88; 11.61, 1.78- 75.64). Discussion: Teachers were at increased risk for physical assault in environments where they witnessed students and others engaging in violent behaviors. Examination of such environments, in concert with other environmental characteristics, is essential for developing intervention efforts to protect educators and others in schools. | 2019-04-19T00:52:07 | https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/nioshtic-2/20043819.html |
You’re alone. Support is needed by you. You turn towards a financial institution in the land. Since we’d be as reluctant to give money to someone who is not part of your loved ones, it should come as no surprise.
How is this dealt with by us?
It is simple. Knowing would do you a lot of good, if you will need any type of help concerning money. It’s a question of if the creditor believes to return his money. If you’re not a hometown lad but you’ll be denied a foreigner loan.
Any loan process involves presenting a safety.
A safety could be property or your asset. However, the borrower is unlikely to get any advantage in the land. The creditors will not approve of whatever back in your homeland. They will not have the ability to seize your asset that’s not under their government’s 30, if any complications arise with the repayment of the loan amount.
Can I get financing for this much quantity?
It’s very likely that with financial institutions or a few banks you may be given a loan. There are also One hour loan lender businesses out there that you can search for. However, you might need to back it up with income flow good records and a bank balance that’s capable of making a payment.
There is another qualification that countries demand. They insist that the debtor have the country’s citizenship. The issue is solved by obtaining a citizenship. But as we’re currently talking about foreigner loans that solution does not apply here. The borrower could be in that country for job functions or research. The way out is to find a co-signer who’s residing in that country, a backer or, in banking conditions. The security will be the assets of the native lest the debtor fails to play by the rules, and any actions can be removed from the co-signer. However, by getting a co-signer is extremely tough and natives, their head isn’t put .
But the options do not end there. There are numerous financiers who would be eager to give you a hand. You are just going to need to give them what they need to see – bank balance income and credit statistics.
You’ll find a loan on exchange in no time. In short you’ll be given a foreigner loan!
Internet can be used to obtain an insight after going that you filed regarding your financial standings and they will set up a meeting with you. There are currently really helping hands all. Be certain you poke at the perfect places. Be honest about the numbers with you may make certain that the favour will be returned and your creditors.

cHRIS'S DONATION OF UKULELE'S LOVED BY THE VILLAGE!
Everyone that visits Papatura Island Retreat is doing their bit for the local villages as we pay them to enjoy their waterways for recreational purposes. We are proud to introduce tourism to this wonderful part of the world as it low impact and sustainable unlike commercial fishing or logging. The locals benefit in many different ways with direct employment, sub contracting with building and supply of materials and supply of fresh fruit, vegetables and lobster or mud crab. We encourage them to create their own micro business for example the guests now go to Kolopakisa Village once during their stay for a traditional village tour and to see the school which was build with help of Stewie and Brett repeat guests to our retreat . Also we sponsor the grade 6 students from Baolo School. There is many more opportunities for those who are willing to be involved as we need tours for turtle watching, bush foods and traditional garden tours, night time crocodile spotting and list goes on. We plan to start village stays up and down the East coast of Isabel which will all be based out of Papatura Island Retreat.
We need internet access to provide this service but feel it will be a good opportunity for guests to mix and mingle with Isabel locals.
In additional to the above we are proud to have supplied Sisiga, Baolo and Kia school books for their libraries and have donated soccer uniforms to some of the schools. We encourage all guests to bring educational items or sporting goods to donate when visiting the village or school.
We do our best to ensure all guests experience a village tour and dance. To see the rawness of the Solomons and the way the locals live, visit the school, church and see traditional haus and cook haus. This includes a 30 mins boat trip to Kolompasa Village, local village walk around tour and plenty of time to chat with the locals and kids. For those who wish experience more village life extra trips can be arranged from Papatura.
We encourage guests to bring a educational or sporting gift to be left at the school or given to a villager. | 2019-04-25T00:30:36 | http://www.papatura.com/local-villages |
3D printing has come a long way in recent years from manufacturing a ratchet wrench on the International Space Station to making materials for a steel bridge in Amsterdam. 3D printing has even also made its way into the art scene from ceramics to jewelry.
Stefanos Anagnostopoulos began working with 3D printing in 2014 and recently created a haunting Joker mask inspired from ‘Death of the Family’, a 23-issue Batman comic published in 2012. Anagnostopoulos’ mask is directly from a scene where the Joker peels off his own skin.
Anagnostopoulos told 3DPrint.com about his inspiration to create the Joker mask.
Anagnostopoulos used a digital sculpting program called Zbrush to create the texture of the skin and face. He printed the mask in six separate parts using a program called Rhino3D. Once the pieces were printed, he glued them all together and used plastic filler to fill in the gaps. He then added the finishing touches with acrylic paints and varnish.
Anagnostopoulos’ shared his design files on MyMiniFactory, a free download platform where designers can share their printable files for other 3D printing enthusiasts. If you take a look at his page, you’ll see some of Anagnostopoulos’ other mask designs for Ant-Man, the Red Hood, and Ultron. | 2019-04-18T23:13:06 | https://sciencefiction.com/2015/06/21/fan-creates-joker-mask-using-3d-printer/ |

The house was shut up tight, but there was a light in the parlor window. Jinx mewed at the door to get in, and then he jumped up on the sill and mewed at the window. He could see a tall bony woman sitting at the table .... She had a black silk shawl around her shoulders and a funny old-fashioned bonnet on her head, and when she lifted the cup she held her little finger out straight.
Jinx had used his saddest and most mournful mew. It made you think of little children crying and cats dying of starvation and all sorts of sorrowful things, and you would be pretty hard-hearted if you could keep from going to the door. But the woman didn't even look up. So Jinx made the mew even more heart-rending until you would think that he had the most awful stomach-ache that any cat ever had.
Freddy's Cousin Weedly is one of Walter R. Brooks' greatly enjoyable Freddy the Pig series of children's novels. It was the seventh to be published, in 1940; but can be read independently. See the series discussion at Troynovant for some background material.
I suggest Freddy's Cousin Weedly as a particularly good book to introduce younger children to the Freddy the Pig series. The plot is in the broad middle range of the series for complexity, but in this novel the essential benevolence of Brooks' rural world has only the lightest touches of villainy or scariness. There are no life-or-death challenges, and no really bad characters.
Weedly is a very young pig, fearful and shy. Jinx the black cat, and Freddy bring Weedly back to the Bean Farm to give him some education and independence. Jinx, Freddy, and the others think up some useful tricks to help Weedly over his fearfulness and shyness. Not surprisingly, these devices work all too well. How to reach a civil balance without undoing everything?
Another problem in Freddy's Cousin Weedly is the presence on the farm of some relatives of the Beans while the latter are on vacation in Europe. These folks are not used to dealing with animals as reasonable individuals, or indeed at all with animals that can talk. There's a long-standing dispute about a silver family heirloom, which the Bean Farm animals are drawn into, as is Freddy's friend the Centerboro sheriff.
Like Weedly's fearfulness and then brashness, the problem of the relatives and the heirloom is one of sociability and civility, rather than legality or danger. Younger kids will recognize Weedly's situation as well as the tussle over the heirloom. Brooks works through everything according to the individual characters involved, animals as well as humans. Alice and Emma the ducks, Mrs. Wiggins and her sisters the cows, Charles and Henrietta the chickens and their large brood, Hank the old white horse, Mr. and Mrs. Webb the spiders, and other farm and woodland animals help out.
When the Bean Farm animals receive invitation-cards for a mildly formal party, none of them know what the appended initials R.S.V.P. stand for. They turn to Freddy as the most widely-read to explain the little mystery. Freddy naturally has no idea either, but thinking fast and creatively, manages to decode the initials as Refreshments Served Very Promptly. This of course is much more enticing than the society-French which is the official interpretation, and if widely so understood, would bring more invitees to parties. I'll wager that Brooks prefers this version, and I'm sure Freddy does.
"So that's it?" said Mrs. Wiggins. "Now that's the kind of invitation I like to get. Well, come along, girls. We might as well go back to the pasture and practice a little politeness ourselves. Because the politer you are at a party, the more you can eat without anybody noticing it." | 2019-04-24T08:09:19 | http://www.troynovant.com/Franson/Brooks/Freddys-Cousin-Weedly-t.html |

You may have seen the rather out-of-nowhere announcement that Cleveland Pride was cancelled, and now it seems that we will be getting something else in it’s place.
This is thanks to the LGBT Cleveland Community Centre, who stepped up to the plate to provide some kind of Pride celebration following the surprise cancellation.
Naturally, people were not only upset by the sudden and short notice cancellation, but also for the vague non-reasons given by the organisers. There was even a petition with over 1,200 signatures calling for Saporito’s dismissal.
Now we have a statement from the LGBT Cleveland Community Centre on Facebook, who seem to be researching ways to have some kind of Pride celebration in Cleveland.
We will be getting a new festival in place of the cancelled Cleveland Pride. | 2019-04-20T15:16:47 | https://pridelife.com/new-festival-to-take-place-of-cancelled-cleveland-pride/ |
Have you ever wondered who actually listens to those awful songs they play on pop country radio? Here are the six primary Archetypes, or as Music Row refers to them, the “target demographics” that make up the audience of the pop country world.The new version takes into consideration country music’s changing demographics.
On Wednesday night, cable channel A&E debuted the first episode of “Big Smo”, a show about a hick-hop artist who is looking to try and break it big in the music business. This is not something to be taken lightly. Big Smo, the show and the artist, could finally be the backdoor to the mainstream hick-hop has been waiting for.
You can call it country rap, or you call it hick hop (and some call it other things that are not so flattering), but a new company wants to coin the definitive term of what to call music that mixes country, rap, EDM, rock, and the rebellious culture of monster trucks and muddin’ that surrounds the movement. RebelCore is what they want it to be known as….
But then here came a Patsy Cline tribute in the last quarter of the show and the whole sad sack theme of the night did a complete 360. There was LeAnn Rimes, singing a medley of Patsy Cline songs, and who better to do it than her? Since the beginning of LeAnn’s career, the Patsy comparisons have come pouring in. | 2019-04-23T04:26:23 | https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/tag/big-smo/ |

Blomfield, C.J. and Barber, B.L. (2009) Brief report: Performing on the stage, the field, or both? Australian adolescent extracurricular activity participation and self-concept. Journal of Adolescence, 32 (3). pp. 733-739.
The relationship between Australian adolescents' participation in extracurricular activities and their self-concepts was investigated. A total of 1489 adolescents (56% female; mean age 13.8 years) completed measures of social self-concept, academic self-concept, and general self-worth, and reported on their extracurricular activity participation. In general, participation in any type of extracurricular activity was associated with a higher social and academic self-concept, and general self-worth, compared to no participation. Adolescents who participated in both sports and non-sports also reported a more positive social self-concept and general self-worth, compared to those who only participated in one of the activity types. This research provides support for extracurricular activities as a context facilitative of positive self-concept, and demonstrates the importance of a mixed participation profile for an adolescent's self-concept.

The appellants (S) appealed against a decision of the Court of Appeal (Trinidad and Tobago) that there had been no breach of their rights under the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago s.4 and s.5.
S had committed two murders when they were aged under 18 and had been sentenced, under the Children Act (Trinidad and Tobago) 1925 s.79, to be detained at the state's pleasure. That statute did not provide for periodic review of detention. Some 17 years after imposition of the sentences, S brought constitutional proceedings, alleging that the sentences offended the principle of the separation of powers because under s.79 and s.81 of the 1925 Act they were detained at the pleasure of the state rather than the court and that was incompatible with s.4 and s.5, which provided the right to liberty and protection of the law and the right to certain freedoms, such as a fair hearing. They also argued that the sentences breached s.4 and s.5 because they were not being reviewed periodically by the court. In light of the decisions in Attin v Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago and Griffith v Queen, The UKPC 58, 2 A.C. 235, the court held that it had power to modify s.79 and s.81 to order that S should be detained at the court's pleasure and held that their rights under s.4 and s.5 had been infringed because they had been deprived of periodic review by the court. It ordered that damages, if any, should be assessed by a High Court judge. S were released. The Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision, save for ruling that s.6(1) of the Constitution, which provided that nothing in s.4 or s.5 should invalidate an existing law, precluded S from objecting that the failure to provide for periodic review of their sentences meant that their rights had been breached under s.4 and s.5. The Board had to determine (i) whether s.6(1) precluded S's claim that their rights under s.4 and s.5 had been breached; (ii) whether the issue of damages arose.
The Attorney General argued that until s.79 of the 1925 Act was modified, the effect of s.6(1) was that detention had to be at the pleasure of the state, not the court, and no question of periodic review could arise. S argued that although the 1925 Act was silent on the subject of periodic review of detention, the right to a review was to be found in the common law and was protected by s.4 and s.5. The Attorney General also argued that a constitutional remedy was not available because S could have availed themselves of the remedy of judicial review or an appeal against sentence.
(1) The modification made by the court to the sentence of detention in Attin had to be taken to have affected not only his case and any subsequent detentions under s.79, but the cases of others who had been sentenced earlier. The sentences passed on S therefore had to be taken to have been sentences of detention at the court's pleasure from the outset. S were entitled to seek the application of an existing common law right to review of detention to the sentencing regime laid down by statute. They were entitled to claim that the absence of periodic review of their sentences of detention was a breach of their right not to be deprived of their liberty except by due process of law, their right to the protection of the law and their right not to be deprived of the right to such procedural protections as were necessary to give effect and protection to those rights and freedoms in s.4 and s.5. The Court of Appeal had erred in finding that s.6(1)(a) precluded S from challenging the manner of the execution of their detention on the ground that the failure to review the sentence and detention resulted in a breach of their rights under s.4 and s.5. S were entitled to a declaration that their constitutional rights had been breached by the failure to conduct such reviews, Attin and Griffith considered (see paras 29-32, 37 of judgment). (2) The power to award damages for a contravention of an applicant's constitutional rights was discretionary under s.14 of the Constitution. In the instant case, it was not obvious that the redress afforded by S's release and by the declarations made by the Board was sufficient to exclude the possibility of an award of damages. The order that damages, if any, would be assessed by a judge of the High Court would be restored (paras 38-41).
The Court of Appeal (Trinidad and Tobago) had erred in finding that the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago s.6(1)(a) precluded detainees from challenging the manner of the execution of their detention on the ground that the failure to review the sentence and detention resulted in a breach of their rights under s.4 and s.5 of the Constitution. They were entitled to a declaration that their constitutional rights had been breached by the failure to conduct such reviews. | 2019-04-26T07:54:32 | https://www.3harecourt.com/content/view/1-ian-seepersad-2-roodal-panchoo-v-attorney-general-of-trinidad-tobago |

I met a new friend recently. Her name is Gayle Boss. Gayle loves to go on nature walks and especially loves observing critters in the woods. I thought she would make a fantastic guest on Cindy Rollins' Mason Jar podcast, and Cindy agreed! We will let you know when it drops, but meanwhile Gayle, Cindy, and I are teaming up for a special giveaway.
My picture book, Hildegard's Gift, always makes a great Christmas present for little ones, so I have decided to give away three autographed copies over the course of Advent. I'll share how you can enter to win one in a moment, but there's even more good news.
Gayle Boss has written a lovely Advent book filled with lush descriptions of nature and animals and musings about the deep, difficult work that takes place in the dark shadows of winter, both in nature and in our own lives. It's a gorgeous book called All Creation Waits, and Gayle has offered to give away three copies of her book, too!
"Her gaze was fixed ahead, her every move food-purposed, her intention fierce and singular. Until the voice prompted an utter turnaround. Let go, it said. Go limp.
The nut trees and berry bushes are skeletons now. Crouched in the snow-muffled quiet, I imagine hearing her slow breathing. I imagine smelling slow-burning bear—the fat she made from all those nuts, berries, bugs, and plants melting and fueling her sleep ... "
Cindy Rollins has graciously offered to join our giveaway, too!
I hear her book is on back order, so you definitely want to enter for a chance to win Cindy's beautiful Advent guide, Hallelujah! A Journey Through Advent with Handel's Messiah.
Cindy is a wonderful friend and mentor and just a kind, loving soul. I know you're going to love her book, and here's a bonus -- another friend of mine, Lynn Bruce, has written one of the entries in it. Lynn is a member of the Ambleside Online Advisory and is also a brilliant writer.

In twenty-five portraits depicting how wild animals of North America ingeniously adapt when darkness and cold descend, we see and hear as if for the first time the ancient wisdom of Advent: The dark is not an end but the way a new beginning comes.
Hildegard's Gift makes a wonderful Christmas gift for the small child in your life who needs to remember that even when life is difficult, we can rely on the Holy Spirit to breathe goodness and joy into our lives and use us as His instruments, as long as we remain, like Hildegard, a feather on the gentle breath of God.
Join us for an Amazing Advent Giveaway!
I just came across a sweet, lyrical book called All Creation Waits that brings nature study and Advent together!
Every Charlotte Mason educator and everyone who loves animals and nature needs to read this beautiful book. I fell into Gayle's descriptions and found myself transported to a pond near a wood. Then suddenly it was like I was falling into The Secret Garden all over again.
Walking the northern Michigan hardwoods where I was raised, restless, I make myself stand still. Somewhere in these eight hundred acres a black bear is sunk in sleep. A month ago already, beneath some fallen tree or stump, she dug a den rounded to the curl of her body. She raked bits of bark and grass over its floor and eased herself in. I crouch, close my eyes, and imagine that ball of furred muscle lax and loose somewhere nearby.
For weeks before she lay herself down, her whole self had been shifting, making ready for another life. Late in summer, just when most berries and nuts ripen, she grew ravenous. Seven, eight hours a day she camped in wild raspberry, blackberry, gooseberry, and huckleberry patches, pawing and licking fruit into her mouth, then, to rest, dropping to her belly and breathing in the fallen gems. Cloyed of sweet, she sniffed out savory—jewelweed, swamp thistle, cattail, and saxifrage—snacking on yellow jackets, ants, and beetle larvae along the way, finishing the day in a grove of beechnuts or hazelnuts or hickory nuts—tripling, even quadrupling her usual day’s calorie intake. Still the trustworthy voice inside her urged, Eat, eat more!
In honor of this special book and to celebrate the greatest gift of all, I will be giving away copies of All Creation Waits and autographed copies of Hildegard's Gift during the month of November.
The countdown is on, so stay tuned! | 2019-04-23T04:28:36 | http://www.meganhoyt.net/blog/archives/11-2017 |

Local Government New Zealand welcomes the Government’s proposals to ban products containing plastic microbeads and hopes it signals a new approach to removing plastics from the environment.
Minister for the Environment Nick Smith yesterday announced plans to ban products containing tiny plastic microbeads from sale in New Zealand, following the lead of several other countries. Microbeads, found in some cosmetic products like shaving gel and soap, were being targeted because they could not be recycled and there was clear evidence of harm to waterways, fish and shellfish.
LGNZ President Lawrence Yule says tangible steps towards improving the environment are positive, and there are several others that could be taken to help make New Zealand cleaner and greener.
“Along with removing these plastic beads we would also like to see stronger effort to reduce the use of plastic bags and make it easier to recycle drink bottles and cans,” Mr Yule says.
LGNZ has asked the Government to impose a compulsory levy on plastic shopping bags at the point of sale, and to introduce a national beverage container deposit system designed to decrease the number of containers going to landfill or not being recycled.
Mr Yule says while efforts to make recycling bags easier are laudable, actually deterring people from using them in the first place has been shown to be successful overseas.
Levies on plastic bags introduced in Denmark, Ireland and China have led to a dramatic reduction in plastic bag use so there are good results . | 2019-04-24T20:53:29 | https://www.plasticsinfomart.com/new-plastics-policy-welcomed-steps-needed-lgnz-says/ |
You do A LOT for us. Probably more than you know. But, there is something that we aren’t sure if you know…and that is how THANKFUL we are for everything that you all do! So, as a token of our appreciation, we have a little something for you.
This is what the community of millennial lay Catholics think of you, and we will never be able to say “thank you” enough. We’re a group of young Catholics, on a pilgrimage to God’s kingdom and WE. NEED. YOU.
Thank you for your “yes”.
Whether you are a newly ordained priest or have been a priest for decades, we are incredibly grateful for you and everything that you do.
You bring peace to those who are filled with worry and anxiety, healing to those who are spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically sick, and comfort to those who feel alone and abandon. You prepare couples for marriage, you preach the Gospel, and, because of you, we can watch bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ and are then able to consume the Holy Eucharist.
You cleanse us of original sin, confirm us in the faith, and guide us in all of our Sacraments. There are so many other things you do to help us grow in ways that we wish you knew. We have so much gratitude for what you do. Through the sacraments, humor, and even just being a friend, you bring us to Jesus. You spend your lives doing this. You live lives that are about Jesus and bringing people to Him.
You juggle so many things at once, putting so many things before yourselves, and many times, doing so on little or no sleep.
Pictured above: Lexie M with Brandon G, and Patrick W.
You’ve spent countless hours listening to confessions. You answer our questions. You brighten our days. You have a job that you don’t get thanked enough for. Maybe you became a priest knowing you wouldn’t get thanked enough. But you chose it anyway.
You help to open our hearts and our minds. You encourage us to be better because you know we can be better.
You live lives dedicated to loving, knowing, and serving God, and leading people to God.
You are truly fathers to so many children of the faith.
You listen to us with love and not with judgment. You take emergency calls even when your body needs to rest. You comfort us when tears are streaming down our faces. You are also the people whom we love to make memories with because of the joy you bring to us!
You take the time to get to know us, to form genuine friendships with us, and because you do that you can better help us on our journeys.
We see Jesus working in you, without a doubt.
And for this, we thank you. Thank you for your kindness, mercy, love, humor, charity, and for being men who truly put God first in life. Thank you for praying for us and with us.
Please know that we are praying for you too.
Thank you for saying “yes” to God’s call to the priesthood. Because of it, we know Jesus.
We know Jesus because of your gift.
So, to all priests, young and old, recently ordained or retired, thank you.

Spurred by continuing Third World pressure to reduce agricultural subsidies, U.S. commodity leaders held a joint press conference to insure there is no question as to just what they expect from the upcoming World Trade Organization meeting in Cancun, Mexico.
Spearheaded by the American Farm Bureau, the various commodity groups present at the Washington, D.C., press conference said that U.S. producers' support of reduced subsidies is dependent on both market access and the degree that their counterparts in other countries do the same.
Declaring their intentions to play a major role in upcoming trade negotiations were representatives with the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Cotton Council of America, USA Rice Federation, National Association of Wheat Growers, National Barley Growers Association, National Grain Sorghum Producers, American Sugar Alliance, National Sunflower Association, U.S. Canola Association, American Sugarbeet Growers Association, National Milk Producers Federation, and Wheat Export Trade Education Committee.
Because most of the growth in future demand for agricultural products will occur in developing countries, the commodity groups say developing countries must make substantial improvements in market access, and not be allowed to exempt ‘special products’ from required tariff reductions.
The National Cotton Council says cotton producers and ginners have a significant stake in WTO agreements on agriculture, textiles and apparel, phytosanitary rules and export subsidies. The last two years, the Council says, have seen fundamental changes in the U.S. cotton industry.
Domestic mill use of cotton has declined from 11.4 million bales annually to less than 7 million bales. The U.S. crop of about 18 million to 19 million bales, a decline compared to the 1991-96 average, has looked increasingly to export markets as domestic textile manufacturers have been driven out of business by cheap textile imports, many of which enter our market illegally or have been spurred by artificially low exchange rates.
“Carefully crafted trade agreements can be of significant benefit, but poor agreements can put the U.S. cotton industry out of business,” the NCC said in its statement.
The American Soybean Association says its support for any WTO negotiations also depends on whether specific objectives are achieved or not.
“The value of any final agreement to U.S. soybean farmers will depend on many details yet to be negotiated,” says ASA President Ron Heck, a soybean producer from Perry, Iowa. “The degree to which ASA members will support reductions in trade-distorting domestic programs is dependent on the degree to which market access is improved in both developed and developing countries.
While the soybean association agrees that market access is a critical element of the WTO negotiations, they say any final agreement must both harmonize tariffs and substantially improve market access for U.S. agricultural exports in developed and developing countries. Peak tariffs must also be capped and reduced over time.
“Most of the growth in future demand for agricultural products will occur in developing countries,” says Heck. “For this reason, developing countries must also make substantial improvements in market access and not be allowed to exempt ‘special products’ from required tariff reductions or increases in tariff rate quotas.
In the area of export competition, the groups agree that export subsidies and similar trade-distorting policies like state trading enterprises and export monopolies must be eliminated in a timely manner.
Paul “Jackie” Loewer, vice chairman of the USA Rice Federation and chairman of the U.S. Rice Producers' Group, joined the American Farm Bureau Federation and other commodity group leaders in calling for meaningful improvements in market access at the upcoming WTO ministerial meeting in Mexico. | 2019-04-22T18:27:56 | https://www.farmprogress.com/us-groups-present-united-front-agriculture |

Walt Disney World boasts a wide variety of alcoholic beverages for those who are old enough to partake. There’s a little something for every taste, from the incredibly strong to the light and lip smacking. For me personally, nothing says vacation like a fruity drink that doesn’t taste like it’s filled with alcohol. Thus, here are eight fruity, floofy drinks I think are perfect for a nice vacation treat.
These can be found throughout the Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts (except for Magic Kingdom, of course, since the magical land does not provide alcohol), and I’ve even included a bonus—my favorite non-alcoholic drink for those who aren’t quite old enough to participate! As always, if you are of age, please make smart choices when trying these beverages!
If you live for a cold frozen lemonade on your Disney vacations, than you will love the Citron Slush from Les Vins de Chefs des France by the France Pavilion in the World Showcase at EPCOT. A twisted take on the classic slushy, this frozen treat combines tart lemonade flavor with Grey Goose Citron and vodka. This is one of those dangerous drinks that doesn’t taste like alcohol so you sort of forget it’s there (I seriously downed one of these in less than five minutes because I forgot what it was made of). This drink can be purchased for $9.86 and comes in a cute little plastic martini glass (which I love because most are served in boring plastic cups).
A twist on everyone’s favorite pineapple dessert can be found at Tamu Tamu Refreshments in Disney’s Animal Kingdom for $7.00. The Dole Whip with Rum is a great refresher during a hot afternoon of walking around DAK, and it’s a good portion size as well. You can mix your pineapple Dole Whip with either Dark or Coconut Rum. I prefer it with Coconut since it makes the treat taste like a classic Pina Colada, but if you prefer something a little stronger, the Dark Rum is the way to go!
One of my all-time favorite drinks at Walt Disney World, the Pina CoLava is a fun twist on your traditional pineapple and coconut-flavored drink. The frozen mixture combines those tastes with the tartness of raspberry rum and puree to make a treat that tastes extra delicious when lounging by the pool on a hot Florida day. Most recently, I enjoyed this concoction at On the Rocks Pool Bar at Disney’s Saratoga Springs for $10.00, but it is part of the standard resort bar menu so you should be able to find it at most if not all Disney resorts.
If you’re in the market for a fruity alcoholic drink that is not frozen (as I realize most of these are), the Mowie Wowie is definitely one to consider. Think tropical—coconut, melon, peach, orange, and pineapple flavors combine into an incredibly sweet drink that will make you say wow(ie)! My boyfriend Nathan tried this one on our most recent visit to 50’s Prime Time Café (where it can be purchased for $12.25) at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and after a few sips from his glass, we both agree we absolutely loved it!
When one thinks of common fruit-flavored drinks, cantaloupe isn’t usually one of the first to come to mind. Well, those brilliant people at Disney realized just how delicious a cantaloupe-flavored drink could be, and thus, the Canto Loopy was created. Made simply out of vodka and cantaloupe juice, it is tangy and refreshing and not your typical mixed drink. The Canto Loopy can be found at Joy of Tea outside of the China Pavilion in World Showcase at EPCOT for $8.95.
Found at Pongu Pongu on the planet of Pandora, the Mo’ara Margarita is the latest concoction to be causing a stir. With the sweet-tart combination of strawberry and blood orange, this drink is a nice way to reward yourself after waiting in the Flights of Passage line for most of the day. It is even topped with strawberry boba balls, which makes it a win in my book (if you have never enjoyed boba before, they’re little spheres of fruity goodness that burst juice into your mouth when you bite into them)! The Mo’ara Margarita can be purchased for $9.25—just prepare to wait in yet another line to snag one!
($7.75, Sommerfest) Perhaps the closest thing you will find to beer on this list, Schofferhofer is my personal favorite drink to get in World Showcase. It has slowly started becoming more popular and well-known around the US, and for good reason. If you prefer fruity flavors over the taste of beer, this will be the perfect compromise for you. Despite calling itself a beer, it mostly just tastes like an amped-up citrus-y juice (don’t fret if you don’t like grapefruit juice; I can’t stand it but I love this drink!). I first tried Schofferhofer on tap at the Germany Pavilion in World Showcase at EPCOT for $9.25 but I have also seen it in cans on other menus around the parks and resorts.
For those who aren’t quite old enough to enjoy the beverages on this list (your time will come, I promise!), here’s a little bonus for you. At EPCOT there’s a little store in Future World known as Club Cool, where you can taste sodas from around the world—for free! There are several that are quite delicious, but my personal favorite is the Fanta Melon Frosty. It’s sugary-sweet with just a little bit of tanginess, and since it’s free you can drink as much as your heart desires!
Didn’t see your favorite beverage on the list? Tell me about it in the comments—I am always looking for new cocktails to try! | 2019-04-26T08:39:26 | https://castlepartyblog.com/2017/10/23/8-fruity-alcoholic-drinks-perfect-walt-disney-world-vacation-day/ |

Greetings. This Sunday we look at the story from Acts where Phillip meets the Ethiopian and shares the good news with him. Acts 8: 26-40.
On Thursday afternoon Briarwood’s very first minister, Rev. Cousens, dropped by the church with Mrs. Cousens. (See photo below.) We had a long discussion about the early years and how he worked to help initially grow the congregation. He remembers going door to door to 100’s of houses!
This is a bitter-sweet Sunday because at both services on April 22nd we say thank you and officially goodbye to Amanda Henderson, who has been an In-Ministry-Year student from The Presbyterian College.
We continue with the Book of Acts, 4: 5-12, with special prayers on Earth Day weekend. At the 11:30 am service, Amanda will share her story of faith.

Thank you to everyone for a great Easter weekend, especially to Alejandro Duran and the choir, and Stevie Pemberton and band, for all the wonderful music. Between the Youth Vigil and Easter Sunday morning, Briarwood welcomed 372 people, including 47 children, for worship and prayer.
I have been on study leave this week, so on Sunday The Rev. Dr. John Vissers will lead in worship at the 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. services. We begin a series on the Book of Acts: how the first followers of Jesus responded to the Resurrection and how the Christian church formed around the Mediterranean basin and beyond, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
NEW: This week there will be a light lunch for all after the 10 a.m. service ($2).
The risen Jesus attend us all.
Briarwood’s 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Easter services later Sunday morning.

Please be praying this week for Oliver C. and his family and the nomination of elders happening for this congregation right now.
Great news this morning from the Presbyterian Church offices: one of Briarwood’s Ministers-in-Association is Moderator elect of the 138th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. See article about The Rev. Dr. John Vissers here.

CHICAGO, IL – Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan iled five lawsuits in a sweep cracking down on unlicensed, online payday lenders and a loan lead generator promoted by talk show host Montel Williams for illegally offering expensive, predatory loans that trap Illinois borrowers in excessive, cyclical debt loads.
Madigan filed lawsuits this week in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) against four out-of-state payday lenders that are operating exclusively online, selling payday loans racked with fees that are double the amount allowed under state law. The lawsuits allege BD PDL Services LLC, Mountain Top Services I LLC, Red Leaf Ventures LLC and VIP PDL Services LLC charged Illinois borrowers $30 for every $100 loaned and allowed borrowers to take out multiple loans at once.
The Payday Loan Reform Act limits the fees a payday lender can charge a consumer to no more than $15.50 per $100 loaned. Payday lenders cannot issue a loan to a consumer if the loan would result in their being in debt to one or more payday lender for more than 45 consecutive days, and they cannot issue a loan to a consumer who already carries balances on two loans. Lenders must also wait seven days before issuing a loan to a repeat customer, once their loans are paid off.
Madigan filed a fifth lawsuit against online broker MoneyMutual LLC for its role generating customer leads on payday loans with unlicensed lenders in violation of state law. The Attorney General’s lawsuit alleges the company was able to attract borrowers to its website in large part due to the profile of its celebrity spokesman Montel Williams.
Madigan also expressed concerns about the company’s data collection practices in light of the recent wave of major data security breaches. MoneyMutual requires potential borrowers to share their personal banking information, Social Security number, date of birth, driver’s license information, private address and employment records, all of which can be shared with third parties, putting borrowers at significant risk of identity theft.
Madigan’s lawsuits follow several cease and desist orders issued to the lenders and Money Mutual by IDFPR.
Madigan’s lawsuits ask the court to permanently ban the defendants from the payday loan business in Illinois, cancel pending payday loan contracts with Illinois consumers and require full restitution. The lawsuits also seek to impose on the defendants an array of civil penalties for violations of the Payday Loan Reform Act of 2005 and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practice Act.
Assistant Attorneys General Sarah Poulimas and Khara Coleman Washington are handling the cases for Madigan’s Consumer Fraud Bureau. | 2019-04-26T12:38:27 | http://copylinemagazine.com/2014/04/08/madigan-cracks-down-on-unlicensed-predatory-payday-lenders/ |
1. Just recently Rob decided to change out his contacts. But when he put them in, he noticed he couldn't see out of his right eye. He thought maybe he got the left and right contacts confused so he took them out. But that didn't fix it. He put them back in and he could see out of the left just fine but couldn't see out of the right. He took out the right and figured out that he could see perfectly. That's when he realized that he got a bonus contact. There were two contacts stuck together in his new contact case. What are the chances? And what a weird problem!
2. The end of nap time always makes me sad. I love my monster but there are days that I'm just loving the break I get.
3. Did you know that you can now subscribe to my blog via email. That's right?! I added a feature that gives you the chance to enter your email to get my blog sent right to your email. You can always follow via Bloglovin as well, which is an awesome way to follow my blog and any others. In fact feel free to check out any of the links in the side bar to follow me on any social media platform. I'm getting connected. And I would love to keep up with all of you too!
4. The other night Addison wouldn't give me hug at bedtime. Instead I got a handshake. Toddlers are funny.
5. One day a few months ago, my parents were here and we were talking about movies. My dad made a comment, while talking about a movie, that Morgan Freeman died. I didn't say anything at the time because I felt like a dummy for not knowing. Later I looked it up to discover that Morgan Freeman is alive and well. My dad was talking about his character not himself. I was so distressed about the the death of Morgan Freeman, only to realize that he's fine.
6. A few weeks ago we went to Monkey Bizness with the play group to play. Addie was having a blast. She was playing on a little plastic play place with a slide when the power went out. It was pitch black in there. Luckily we all have cell phones with flashlights. She was scared but did fine. We left and didn't think much of it. But since that, she has refused to go down any slide. We have to force her and she started crying and whining immediately. She has put together going down a slide and it getting dark. Poor girl is now scared of slides!
7. I've been watching a lot of baseball lately. I actually love watching baseball. When I was younger we went to a Royals game and sat by the dugouts. I don't remember anything about the game, who we played or if we won, but after the game I remember standing by the dugout while my parents talked to someone. While standing there, there was a player (not a Royal) who was walking to the dugout who rolled me a game ball. There was an older boy standing nearby with a glove who made a move for it, but the player pointed me out and rolled it right to me. I still have it and my dad wrote down the name and number of the player who gave me the ball. By hey how about those 2015 Royals?!
8. This weekend my parents came over and we built Addie her clubhouse. It's pretty awesome and she's pretty excited. We still have to put the roof on it but she is loving it.
9. I've been watching a show called Air Disasters lately. It's really interesting and the chance of being in a plane crash is pretty small but let's be honest I have small percentage luck and all that is bad luck, so I don't think I'm going to get on a plane any time soon.
11. I got really confused the other night with minutes and hours. We had 108 hours of HD recording space left on our DVR. I saw Rob had a movie set to record which was 2 hours, which I saw as 120 minutes. Which in my brain equaled that it needed more space than we had available. I got worried about space and what it was going to delete. Rob told me that it was only going to take about 1% of the space. I heard him and let it go. It wasn't until over an hour later that it finally clicked that if we have 108 hours left and it was 2 hours which leaves us with tons of space still. I was so confused for a long time though. Minutes and hours are confusing.
12. We go to the local elementary school in the evening to let her play on the playground there when we go on our walk. I recently got new shoes, which I loved.

County Budgeting: Removing the mystery | Audio and video stories from Southwest Washington.
Finances play a big role in the running of a government agency. Each of the 39 counties in Washington has an elected treasurer who is responsible for tax and revenue collections, debt management, investing and banking services for the county’s money, record keeping and reporting, and finally budgeting.
Glenn Olsen, Deputy Administrator for Clark County, is an expert in county budgeting. He developed the seminar “County budgeting, the perspective of budget writers.” It is designed to bring newly elected county officials up to speed regarding county finances and budgeting.
The following interview with David Madore and Glenn Olsen is presented in its entirety to provide residents of Clark County insights of the many technical facets related to Clark County’s budget.
The article below was submitted to COUV.COM by Glenn Olsen.
Have you asked yourself, “Why do they do it that way?” Usually you are saying this to yourself about something the government has done that makes no sense to you.
We at couv.com cannot answer those questions for all the governments that exist in the U.S., but we can fill you in with a few answers about the one government that probably has more direct impact on your life than all the others: Clark County.
In a three-part series, couv.com is broadcasting an in-depth interview with county commissioner David Madore, to explain why the county operates as it does. In it he interviews staff about the inner workings that underlie the many varied services that are paid for by Clark County’s citizens.
In the first installment we lay the ground work for understanding how our county operates: what it is required to do by state and federal law and how that fits into our current economic situation. The first thing we learn is this is no typical enterprise. Counties are (constitutionally) an arm of state government. In practice, that means a county may do only that which it is specifically directed to do by state and federal law. This is the opposite of a private enterprise, which may do anything that is not prohibited by law.
That dramatically limits the choices a county has in fulfilling its mission to serve you. For example, finance in Clark County is not run by a single Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Instead, by state constitution the county has five elected officials who all have a voice in the financial operations of the county: the Treasurer, the Auditor, and the three County Commissioners.
The Treasurer collects taxes, manages cash and debt, and accounts for the funds related to those activities. Incidentally, the county Treasurer does not just collect property taxes for the county: he also collects taxes for the state, cities, schools, and the many other taxing districts inside the county.
The Auditor accounts for and controls the expenditure of funds.
The Board of County Commissioners controls the appropriation of (legal permission to spend) funds.
This complex arrangement was intended by the framers of Washington’s constitution to create checks and balances for you, the citizen, to make sure no one in the county can spend without oversight. It works admirably for this, but it creates systems and processes that do not seem sensible if you are used to a business model where one person can legally track and receive all revenue, account for that revenue as well as its expenditure, and can authorize where expenditures will or will not take place.
One of the first differences is that counties receive different “kinds” of money (revenue). Generally these fall into two broad categories: Restricted and unrestricted.
Restricted revenues are limited by law or by contract for specific uses, like roads. In order to make sure restricted funds are spent only where they ought to be, the county accounts for them in separate funds. Counties in Washington typically have one to two hundred separate funds. Each fund is a separate business, and it may have its own employees, buildings, and equipment. Money almost never can legally be moved between funds, so it is possible for one fund to be flush while another is broke. More to the point, there may be money for things citizens do not want and no money for things they do want. These rules are imposed on counties by the state or federal government.
Restricted revenues are “off the table” when it comes to balancing the budget. Most of the activities that are supported by local tax dollars are in what is called the General (or Current Expense) Fund. The General Fund is about a third of total funds, and the only fund that is unrestricted. It pays for most of what people think of as county government, including law and justice, assessments, tax collections, elections, debt, building construction and maintenance, and parks.
Two-thirds to three-quarters of a county’s General Fund goes to the first item on this list of functions that it funds: law and justice (police, courts, prosecutor, juvenile, and jail).
Even in the General Fund a third of the funding is restricted, so that overall about 20 percent of revenue can be spent where your elected officials choose. The remainder may only be spent where the law requires. The largest areas which receive restricted funding are roads, human services, and public health. Should those areas run short of funding, the only option leaders have for reallocating money is from the General Fund, the one unrestricted source of funds.
Between the many functions the General Fund supports and it being the only source for supplementing other funds, there is enormous pressure on it. Furthermore, 70 percent of the General Fund goes to salaries and benefits. Against that backdrop, the two main revenue sources for the General Fund – property and sales taxes – have been hit particularly hard by the recession.
In Clark County that translated into a 20 percent reduction in forecasted revenue to the General Fund, after the recession started. This in turn drove a 15 percent reduction in personnel. Since that time General Fund revenue has been flat.
This means something different in a government than it does in a home budget, because virtually all the increases in expenses in Clark County are driven by population growth and inflation. Those two things did not stop, despite the recession. Since the economy is recovering, it may seem like this challenge is gone. In fact, it is just the beginning. The changes that affected the county rocked it to the core, and will affect how the county provides its services into the foreseeable future. How the county plans to rise to that challenge is the topic of the next part in this series. | 2019-04-20T22:10:19 | http://couv.com/community/county-budgeting-mystery |

The untamed hilly tract which forms an endless series of valleys in Kandhamal District owes its significant importance from the past history, which dates back far back to 3rd century BC. At that time the District was considered as an unconquered Atavika country.From the history of the District it reveals that Kandhamal District was under the Maurya region.
The mountainous Atavika country in the later years came to be identified as Kandhamal. From the records it is found that the District is named after the vigorous Khonds, who use to dwell the land.The present District of Kandhamal is made up of the fragments of the three erstwhile principalities of Boudh, Ghumsar and Khemundi, which were formed during the reign of the Gangas, the last indigenous rulers in the throne of Odisha.The contemporary history of the Kandhamal District is documented with the arrival of the British in the nineteenth century. As far the history of Kandhamal is concerned, the British were not successful enough to find their way out without confronting any resistance.
Bhanjas occupied this state and continued to rule over it till 1835.The history of Kandhamal depicts that the present subdivision of the Kandhamal District, Balliguda region was under the Gangas of Kandhamal and the dynasty ruled over these hilly tracts till the 19th century, till the British captured the area in 1830 to 1880, by subduing the hilly chiefs, who were the supporter of the Gangas. Kandhamal, which was originally the part of the Boudh district, experienced a chequered history during the same period.
The present subdivision of the Kandhamal sub division was an integral part of Boudh till 1855. It was the British rule that fragmented the parts of Kandhmal District from Boudh District. | 2019-04-23T00:33:22 | https://kandhamal.nic.in/history/ |

Website Design is one of the fastest growing mediums in the world, with more and more young people getting into coding and designing due to the growing demand for such a job. As a result of this, more and more designs and variations on how to do a website are becoming available to everybody. 10 years ago, every website looked the same, just with a different color scheme for each, nowadays you can get thousands of varying themes for WordPress JUST based on minimal design or JUST based on white-space.
With the rapidly growing industry, we are seeing some Web Design trends get completely forgotten. The reasons for this are simple: this is a new generation of web design that relies on new technologies and has new fashionable and trendy designs to use. Websites are cleaner than ever, websites are quicker than ever and websites are more beautiful than ever. So let’s get into 5 web design trends to say goodbye to.
Remember when websites used to have many different-looking buttons, they used to have 3d menus that glittered and technical things flew across the screen if you did certain things. Well that is certainly a thing of the past now. We live in a web design age, where simplicity and especially minimalism are key to creating a good-looking and fast functioning website. Expect to see a lot more space on your screen, expect to see just the content you want to see and not many ads, many buttons and many useless graphics. Making websites simpler also makes it easier when it comes to transferring your website to mobile… and that’s very important.
Speaking of transferring to mobile. One thing you’ll do well to find these days is a website that is desktop-only and doesn’t have an equivalent version for mobile. Gone are the days when you www.m.something.com to take you to a special mobile website. Now are the days when web design is responsive; watch the website as you make your window smaller on your desktop, it’ll likely transfer into a little mobile website if you get it small enough. Desktop-only sites not intelligent, in a world where billions of people own smartphones and access the internet on them, making a website that only works on desktops and laptops does not make sense.
We are definitely living in the world of media. More than ever we are seeing more and more photos and videos being uploaded to social media posts, we are seeing businesses utilise media to advertise companies, but most importantly here, we are seeing websites fully utilise width and space to allow for the most beautiful representation of your media. Stock photos allowed you to fill a certain area of your page with a photo you’d bought that everyone can use. These days, website designers hire a photographer to take shots for them, then pay for this. It’s a service that may cost more, but results in better and more personal images for your website than stock imagery.
Okay, so it may be a bit of a general assumption to say goodbye to Serif fonts as they are still used for some titles, but we are definitely seeing a lot less of them over the recent years. Companies are favourite much more towards thin and clean sans-serif fonts such as Helvetica-Neue, Roboto and such. This is actually easier for your readers to view, makes your website look cleaner and results in a general more modern look. It’s definitely something that we should expect to see more websites incorporating. Maybe less about the disappearance of Serif fonts and more about the disappearance of bold fonts.
Finally, a trend that is really taking the internet by storm is the use of a single scroll page. This is a page in which you do have a menu at the top of the page, but instead of it taking you to multiple different pages, it simply scrolls you down the landing page to the relevant point. This makes a lot of sense for most websites, it allows your users to access all the information on one page, it allows a cleaner and more logical navigation of your website. It also opens up the potential for the use of great technologies such as parallax scrolling and interaction design. | 2019-04-22T17:24:12 | https://geekszine.com/web-design-trends-to-say-goodbye-to/ |
After 30 years evaluating numerous companies’ performance, it is apparent there is a near equal split between those that sustain results and those that do not, no matter how robust their systems and processes. The difference is the accumulation of behaviors of the people within the organization, or “culture”.
Statistical Process Control (SPC), Quick Change (single-minute exchange of dies, SMED), Total Preventive Maintenance (TPM), Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and other Process Improvement / Lean methodologies. Finding process improvement opportunities, winning management support, chartering projects, project management and writing project summaries.
Communication and Facilitation Skills. Individual team members train theirs and other teams on the methodologies mentioned using developed coaching and mentoring skills to help teams across the organization with challenges.
Understanding business basics, such as the leverage of cost reduction over sales increases. Annual business plan at the team level. Doing more with less using tools already mentioned. Accountability to the team’s part of business plan, reporting to supervision monthly and management quarterly on the team’s financial results.
Giving and receiving feedback, coaching for success and documenting performance management within the team. Delivering timely, honest and critical performance feedback to team members for improvement. Team members struggling with consistent unmet expectations provided timing and consequences of escalation to HR.
Cross-functional customer engagement teams with representatives of each critical process step, quality management and sales. Teams meet the first delivery of product or services to new customers and inspect before releasing to the customer. Teams also receive, triage, investigate and respond to customer complaints.
Interview methodologies. Reviewing resumes, conducting phone and site interviews and deciding on the candidates that seem a best fit for their team. Documenting the entire process and recommending their selections to HR for the transactional aspects of hiring.
Organizations are doing this now and reaping massive rewards, financially and culturally, through finding and developing the brilliance in their work force. | 2019-04-26T06:20:28 | https://legup.solutions/services/ |
Rent a Dumpster in Moody Now!
Simply give us a call and we will answer any questions you may have about the Moody dumpster rental procedure, allowed materials, size you may need, etc.
Our roll off containers can usually be delivered in Moody the day after you place your order. Make sure to call us early to ensure timely delivery.
Depending on the size of your project, you may require a small or big dumpster that may carry all of the debris and remaining materials.
The most frequent dumpsters comprise 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard models. If you are in possession of a small project, for example clearing out a garage or basement, you can probably benefit from a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster. If you have a bigger project, for example an entire remodel or constructing a brand new house, then you will most likely need a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.
Many folks choose to rent a bigger dumpster than they think they'll desire. Although renting a bigger dumpster costs more cash, it's more affordable than having to an additional dumpster after a small one gets full.
One of the largest concerns you probably have when renting a dumpster in Moody is how much it'll cost. Among the top ways to negate this anxiety is to get exact information. When you call to get a price quote, have a good idea of how much waste you will need to eliminate so you may get the most effective recommendation on dumpster size. If you are unsure on the quantity of waste, renting a size bigger will save you the additional expense of renting a second dumpster if the first proves too small.
Supply any information you believe is applicable to be sure you don't end up paying for services that you don't actually want. More than a few companies charge by the container size, while others charge by weight. Be sure you know which is which so you've a clear estimate. Also ensure that you ask whether the estimate you get includes landfill charges; this will keep you from being surprised by an additional fee later.
While roll off dumpsters are typically left on location, front load dumpsters will come pick up debris on a set schedule. That makes it possible for sterilization professionals to eliminate garbage and trash for multiple residences and businesses in the region at reasonable costs.
Most affordable Dumpster Rental in Moody - Is It Worth It?
Clearly you want to spend as little cash as possible when renting a dumpster in Moody. Sometimes, though, the cheapest dumpster rental in Moody alternative is not worth it. In fact, it could wind up costing you more in the long run.
Taking the cheapest option could mean that you just get a dumpster that is too small for your endeavor. Once you fill up the dumpster, you should have to pay for another to finish your job. It is usually cheaper to get a bigger size and avoid the hassle.
The most inexpensive dumpster rental firms in Moody might not include things like drop off and pick up fees. Ensure that your quotes include all extra fees. That way, you can compare prices precisely to receive the best price. Customer support another major concern. Some companies keep prices low by cutting corners on service. The final thing you want would be to waste time waiting for a truck to arrive with your dumpster.
If you wish to rent a dumpster in Moody, you'll discover that prices vary significantly from state to state and city to city. One method to get real estimates for the service you need will be to phone a local dumpster company and ask about their prices. You can even request a quote online on some sites. These sites may also contain complete online service that's always open. On these sites, you can choose, schedule and pay for your service whenever it is suitable for you.
Factors that affect the price of the container contain landfill fees (higher in some regions than others) and the size of the container you select. You should also consider transportation costs and the kind of debris you will be putting into your container.
Price quotes for dumpster rental in Moody commonly contain the following: the size of the container, the kind of debris involved, the base price for the dumpster, how much weight is contained in the estimate, a specified rental period and delivery and pick-up fees.
As with any service, it's always an excellent strategy to reserve your dumpster as far ahead as you possibly can in order to ensure that the dumpster will be accessible when you require it. If you wait until the last minute, there is no promise that the organization will probably have the capacity to fill your order.
Two or three days notice is generally sufficient to ensure your dumpster delivery in time. Keep in mind that the busiest days have a tendency to be on Mondays and Fridays (surrounding the weekend), so if you can organize your job for the midst of the week, you've got a better possibility of finding the dumpster you will need.
Should you find out you need a dumpster the next day or even the same day, please go ahead and call the business. If they have what you need, they'll definitely make arrangements to get it to you as soon as possible.
Dumpster leases are one of the most affordable ways to remove waste and debris from a dwelling or commercial property. Still, it is necessary that you contemplate your options to be sure you receive the best price possible on your dumpster rental in Moody.
Requesting firms for price quotes is among the easiest methods to be sure you get a good deal. After speaking to several businesses, you can compare the quotes to determine which one matches your needs at the bottom price. When getting quotes, make sure the firms include all of the services which you will desire. Some companies charge extra for services like drop off and pick up. They might also charge higher rates for removing certain kinds of materials. By having them include all of the fees in your estimate, you can compare the prices correctly instead of getting mislead by a rental company that conceals additional costs.
Most people do not desire to rent dumpsters unless they absolutely have to. At times, though, it becomes clear that you need to rent a dumpster in Moody for commercial and residential jobs.
Most cities will not haul away building debris for you. It is your responsibility to ensure you have a suitable container to collect lost stuff from remodeling jobs. Even though you just have a little project, municipal waste management is unlikely to haul the debris away.
A leading clean out can amass more junk than a normal receptacle can carry. Renting a small dumpster is a more convenient alternative which will prevent making multiple trips to the neighborhood dump.
When you have one of these jobs in mind, then you understand it is time to search for a reliable dumpster rental service in Moody.
When you rent a temporary dumpster, your aim is to fill it up and have the waste hauled away. But should you want your waste recycled, you may need to really go about it in a somewhat different manner. Waste in the majority of temporary dumpsters isn't recycled as the containers are so big and hold so much material.
If you are interested in recycling any waste from your job, check into getting smaller containers. Many dumpster rental firms in Moody have a wide variety of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are normally smaller than temporary dumpsters; they're the size of routine trash bins and smaller.
Should you wish to recycle, learn whether the company you are working with uses single stream recycling (you usually do not need to sort the stuff) or in case you'll need to organize the recyclable material into distinct containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This will really make a difference in the total number of containers you have to rent.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in Moody?
Residential clean outs generally do not require big dumpsters. The size that you simply require, though, will be contingent on the size of the undertaking.
Whenever choosing a dumpster, though, it's often wise to request a size larger than what you believe you'll need. Unless you are a professional, it's difficult to gauge the exact size needed for your project. By getting a slightly larger size, you spend a bit more cash, however you also prevent the possibility that you will run out of room. Renting a larger dumpster is nearly always cheaper than renting two little ones.

For long distance travel in Britain, air travel is worth considering.

London Heathrow to central London would be about £35!
Go by train or bus if possible!
London Heathrow has frequent electric underground trains to the centre of London, as well as buses.
London Gatwick has Gatwick Express and other trains directly to London or the South Coast.
'Thameslink' trains from the south coast also stop at Gatwick, and go non-stop across London to Luton and Bedford.
This saves changing trains in London, if you are travelling to parts of the North of England.
Britain (and London in particular) is known as one of the best places to buy cheap air tickets, and they can be much cheaper than buying them in your own country. But there are difficulties! It may not be so easy to use a credit card across frontiers to buy a cheap ticket. And some agents may not be prepared to give the cheapest tickets to overseas buyers.
If you have friends or contacts in Britain, it may be possible for them to help you, and buy tickets for you.
You must however be very careful when buying air tickets. With cheap tickets, you may not be able to change dates or times later, or receive a refund if you cannot travel for any reason. And not all ticket agents are reliable. An agent might go out of business, or cheat you! Dealing with an agent in a different country adds to the difficulties. Of course, you may find that tickets are cheaper from an agent in your country anyway. Payment by credit card may give you protection against non-delivery of tickets for any reason - check with your credit card company.
There is however a good honest travel agent in Britain that we recommend. He may be able to help you to obtain cheap air flights to Britain.

The Hague Civil Court on Wednesday dismissed four out of five allegations against the Netherlands-based company brought by Nigerian farmers who said leaking Shell pipelines were poisoning their land and waterways.
The court did, however, order the subsidiary Shell Nigeria to pay one farmer for breach of duty of care by making it too easy for saboteurs to open an oil pipe. The amount of damages to be paid will be established at a later date.
"Shell Nigeria should and could have prevented this sabotage in an easy way," the ruling said. "This is why the district court has sentenced Shell Nigeria to pay damages to the Nigerian plaintiff."
In cases of sabotage, under Nigerian law, oil companies are not responsible unless they breach their duty of care.
Four Nigerians and interest group Friends of the Earth filed the suit in 2008 in the Netherlands seaking reparations for lost income from polluted land and water in the Niger Delta region.
The case marks the first time a Dutch company has been sued in a domestic court for offences allegedly caused by a foreign subsidiary.
The suit targeted Shell's parent company in the Netherlands and its Nigerian subsidiary, Shell Petroleum Development Co (SPDC). It is the largest oil and gas company in Nigeria, Africa's top energy producer, with a daily output of more than 1 million barrels of oil or equivalent. | 2019-04-26T09:47:59 | http://www.iede.co.uk/news/2013_780/dutch-court-rejects-most-claims-nigerian-farmers-against-shell/?qt-quicktabs_bulletins=0 |

Any man who wears pants owns at least one belt. But belts for men cannot be summarized as just a snaky piece of leather (or faux for that matter) used for cinching cloth. It does much more than just holding your pants in place and makes for an indispensable and integral part of a man’s attire.
If you have pants with belt loops, you must wear a belt, otherwise such pants look incomplete and devoid of character.
If you are tucking in your shirts, especially with a suit, jacket, or blazer, you must wear a belt.
Formal belts for men are usually subtle. Always opt for solid colours like black, tan, brown, etc. and understated patterns.
Always match your leathers (shoes and belts) and metals (cufflinks and belt buckle). For instance, if you are wearing tan shoes, opt for a tan belt. And if your belt buckle is golden or brass tone, then your cufflinks or other accessories (like bracelets, etc.) should be of the same tone.
Explore our finest collection of leather belts for men, and find your perfect trio.
While you can always opt for a simple, solid brown belt, this particular one with visible stitches adds an edge to the belt. The traditional dark brown colour works best with trousers in beige, biscuit, or fawn.
The classic black belt gets a modern makeover with a patterned surface on the exterior. Pair it with anything except brown pants.
This formal belt in dark tan adds a rich look to your formal attire for business meetings, special events, or party occasions. Pair it with beige, cream, white, or navy trousers or suits.
As trivial it might look, the right kind of belt, paired with the right attire can do wonders to your overall presence, image, vibes, or anything that you need to make an impression. It brings your entire outfit together and adds character to your clothes. | 2019-04-26T08:08:02 | https://www.paragonfootwear.com/blog/belts-for-men-an-essential-accessory-to-complete-the-formal-look/ |

Cookie-cutter platformer tries to flash its ice.
So, imagine yourself in 1991, poised on the cusp of choosing between the surging Sega Genesis and Nintendo's follow-up to the blockbuster NES, the SNES. It comes down to the games, really. The SNES is the only place that has marquee names like Mario and Zelda, but the Genesis has not arcade shakers like Space Harrier and Out Run, but also the best 16-bit RPG yet, Phantasy Star II. Remember, this is before the advent of the Internet, so you're making your choice primarily on the strength of magazine content and back-of-the-box information at retail. You have your $200 in your pocket, ready to make a commitment to one console based on the strength of its current or promised library.
How does this box affect your decision?
This ranks as one of my favorite bad boxes. It looks like it was thrown together by a first-day intern that was terrified of being remotely bold. Not only is the art just plain bad (the perspective and depth are off), but it fails to raise the pulse. Who would seriously buy this game.
Yes, I know I railed Jewel Master's box as an affront to the eyes, but if you read the back, the game sounds pretty interesting. As a player looking beyond just basic jumping attacks, I was intrigued by jewel Master's basic premise. You collect a series of elemental rings that, when worn in different combinations, allowed you to cast a host of magic spells from fire balls to ice daggers. If you combined the most powerful rings of each element, you got a magic sword that gave you an advantage against the final boss. I know that sounds a little hoary to players used to the Ratchet & Clank school of huge arsenals with secondary fire functionality. But in 1991? Whoa.
However, in spite of this clever concept, Jewel Master is a very cookie-cutter side-scrolling action game. In 1991, these things were as common as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in a grade school cafeteria. Your goal is to press through five different levels in the land of Mythgard, each themed as you would expect: forest, ice, desert, etc. The final destination is the evil king Jardine's palace. Each level is devoid of any real puzzle elements; the focus is moving from left to right, striking down incoming monsters with your magic attacks. Occasionally, the game thinks vertically and you hump up some stairs or drop down a cave.
Now, you can level those accusations at a number of 16-bit scrollers -- and rightfully so. But the pacing of the enemies in these uninventive environments is what makes the game so blah. There are no surprises here. The enemies, from weird-faced fish to very ugly yeti, always show up on cue. And they often do it overwhelmingly so, crushing you so you have to start the stage all over from the beginning when you hit that inevitable continue screen.
The bosses are where Jewel Master gets more interesting. Each stage is capped with a final encounter, such as a giant turtle or a huge phoenix. These monsters are tough, and the trick to beating them is to use your rings is the proper combinations. For example, the first boss is a panther that can outrun your hero... unless you put on the wind ring by itself for a useful speed boost. It's tempting to use the wind ring with your fire ball for a projectile attack, but trust me, you want that speed boost.
Jewel Master is not one of the better looking Genesis games. It uses familiar tricks like parallax scrolling to give the game a little kick, but there is just no way around the game's uninspired animations and character designs. When your hero is outshone by the muscle studs of Altered Beast, you're in trouble. The music, composed by Motoaki Takenouchi, is decent. Takenouchi's later work, such as Shining Wisdom for the Saturn, is much better.
Jewel Master is not one the Genesis' shining stars and should it ever surface on the Virtual Console, I seriously doubt it would garner much attention. Despite the cool ring idea, too much of Jewel Master is tame. The game works entirely within the boundaries for a 16-bit side-scrolling action game. For a much better example of the genre, definitely check out Super Castlevania IV for the SNES.
6 Presentation A little intro story here, a little ring hand menu there... nothing standout.
6 Graphics Decent visuals accompanied by parallax, but hardly inspiring.
6 Sound An okay first time score from Motoaki Takenouchi, but not terribly memorable.
6 Gameplay Too much cookie-cutter action. The magic rings help a little, but any coolness is undermined by unexciting action.
5.5 Lasting Appeal Hardly one of the Genesis greats. Not a failure, though. | 2019-04-25T16:13:41 | https://www.ign.com/articles/2008/02/04/jewel-master-review |

Working as a simultaneous convention interpreter with United countries, Valerie Barnes travelled to India, Iran, Nigeria, Zambia and Zaire.

He acknowledged he might write a ebook approximately his journey but if he celebrated his 87th birthday she learned that may by no means ensue, so made up our minds to write down the tale herself along with his support, utilizing his log-book and describing their studies jointly throughout the 5 months she spent with him in England, France, Spain, the Canaries, Barbados, Bequia and Rarotonga. Their tale is usually hhilarious, occasionally heart-breaking.

Maestro Marlon Chen conducting Philip Glass’ Aguas da Amazonia at the Aperio season opening on Sept. 10 at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts.

Against significant odds–flood damage at the Hobby Center and other Theater District performing arts venues, coupled with the personal losses suffered by many musicians during Hurricane Harvey– Aperio’s season opening concert, an all-Philip Glass affair, took place at Zilkha Hall Saturday night (Sept. 9). Gathering its biggest performing forces yet with a chamber ensemble of 30 for the North American premiere of Glass’ Aguas da Amazonia, Aperio celebrated the American minimalist pioneer on the occasion of his 80th birth year in style. The large scale 55-minute piece, inspired by the waters and tributaries of the Amazon River, is an exuberant reimagining and merging of the composer’s signature thematic material. Maybe it was watching the time-lapse video of the rise and fall of Buffalo Bayou during Harvey, or driving through my still-flooded neighborhood on the west side, where a segment of Beltway 8 looked like a river a few days ago, fresh and searing images of the storm that left Houston devastated surfaced frequently in my mind’s eye during the performance.
Maestro Marlon Chen (MDR Orchestra Leipzig and Orchestre de Paris) led an ebullient, vibrant performance that was riveting throughout. Chen’s animated physicality gave the piece layered nuance, dramatic structure, and edge-of-your-seat emotional intensity. The orchestra pulsed with relentless energy and shimmered with a range of deep to brilliant colors. The waters portrayed sounded joyful and benign, and I could almost imagine our bayous dancing playfully again. Violinist Chloé Trevor delivered a thrilling and seamless performance of Glass’ Violin Concerto No. 2 An American Four Seasons. Trevor’s vividly expressive rendering gave the classically structured piece shape and direction, and brought out the nuanced drama inherent in Glass’ music.

That was the case with bringing to H-town the contemporary/experimental band (M)iyamoto is Black Enough (Oct. 14), a groundbreaking group challenging listeners with a collage of improvisations and complex original compositions using a palette of steel pan, drums, cello, and slam poetry. Multiple influences, including hip-hop, jazz, punk, rhythm, and world music, will come together to form an indefinable sound world. The ensemble’s head-turning name comes from the 2015 controversy over biracial Miss Universe Japan Ariana Miyamoto being accused by some Japanese compatriots as not being Japanese enough. Roger Bonair-Agard, two-time National Poetry Slam Champion and long-list finalist for a National Book Award, uses spoken word, slam style, to address the social issues of our time.
Just like the name of the group, the performance is meant to spark a debate about identity and self understanding. Aperio will be partnering with WITS (Writers in the Schools) for outreach to area high schools, featuring student performers as the opening act of the show. Zuraw admits that this is a learning experience for him as well. “I don’t think of myself as having a pigeon-holed taste in music at all, but I don’t know enough about hip-hop and slam poetry. This will be powerful and engaging on a visceral level. They (steel pan player Andy Akiho, cellist Jeffrey Zeigler, drummer Sean Dixon, and poet Roger Bonair-Agard) make a ‘dream team.’” There is also a Houston connection. Cellist Jeffrey Zeigler and Zuraw were Rice Shepherd School classmates.
The exotically titled program Xochiquetzal//Kukulkan (Feb. 3) will feature several smaller scale chamber music works. “We’ve done many programs about Latin American culture in our 11 seasons,” says Zuraw, “this program is more about the ancient roots of our culture here in the Americas. The music is astounding!” Anchoring the program are Robert Xavier Rodriguez’s five-movement work Xochiquetzal, arranged by the composer for violin and piano, and David Dzubay’s Kulkulkan, written for piano trio.
Xochiquetzal was an ancient Mayan goddess associated with beauty, love, music, and dance. Surrounded by hummingbirds and marigolds, the richly adorned goddess is represented by the violin throughout. The music is lush and virtuosic, synthesizing folk elements and contemporary sounds. The ancient Mayan world is conjured through pentatonic themes, and the quotation of a dance tune called Xtoles, believed to be one of the oldest known melodies. Violinist Chloé Trevor, who premiered this version of the piece in Dallas in 2016, will once again bring her considerable artistry to Houston audiences. Kukulkan was inspired by composer David Dzubay’s visit to the Mayan ruins at Chichén Itzá, the site of the ancient temple of Kukulkan, the “plumed serpent” that has always inspired awe in Aztec culture. The six-movement piano trio is a fantastic reimagining of the various monuments of Chichén Itzá, each with its own ritualistic character.

I wanted to send a big thank you to the staff. I sent three of my players, two of them my nephews, to camp this week. They all three just got home and they haven’t stopped raving about the experience. Thank you!
Growing up, Wootten Camp was my measuring stick. It was how I measured where I was as a player every summer. The work I would put in all year – I judged it at camp for a week. Getting a chance to compete against kids from all over the country gave me a lot of confidence. I also learned valuable lessons that helped me get to where I am now.
Thank you for providing my son, Gary, with a stellar, focused opportunity to work on his skills. He had a great time, learned much, and came home eager to work hard. I appreciate the professionalism and the quality of this program. | 2019-04-22T04:16:40 | https://coachwootten.com/basketballcamps/boys-overnight-camp/ |

Get more from your draft beer equipment! Supplies like this 3/16" bent tail piece make it easy to optimize your system for maximum efficiency.
Keep your system flowing flawlessly with this specialized stainless steel tail piece, made to fit with draft systems using 3/16" ID draft lines.
Simply attach this piece to your shank or coupler for an approximate 90-degree bend that eliminates kinked hoses and lines. You’ll achieve a better, unhindered liquid flow all the way from the keg to your tap. And because it's made from high-quality stainless steel it won't rust, corrode, or tamper with the flavor of your draft beer or any other beverage you're serving.
This draft beer system part is great for when there is a tight fit in your keg fridge. Another option is using a low-profile keg coupler.
Please Note: This angled tail piece attaches with a hex nut and rubber washer (both sold separately).
Length: .429" from end to elbow; Barb length: .629"
May need to redirect the hose.
I replaced my tower, and it came with a straight fitting. The hose is getting crimped, restricting the flow of some fine ales.
I am putting faucets through the wall with not much space so needed a 90 degree.
I have a dual tap kegerator and need these to use on full size European style kegs.
Thank you for my rush order and will be looking for more bar equipment in the future.
There is not enough room in my fridge to allow the beer line to naturally curve so the hose kinks. Hopefully, this will solve the problem.
I chose SS tail piece to fit my kegging equipment. Also the SS won't corrode when placed in a chemical bucket like nickel or brass will.
mainly price and quality of parts from kegworks.
Need this tail piece for coupler in kegerator when using 1/2 barrels. Coupler is tight to the top inside of kegerator. This will prevent the vinyl tubing from kinking.
I wanted a 90 coming off my tap to route the hoses in my keezer build, so the hoses don't hang over the top of the kegs. I hope these will work as planed.
Avoiding off favors for more acidic beverages.
beer faucets through a shed wall. Beer lines come up from below and this will prevent the hoses from kinking.
My keg is in a tight place.
so the beer line doesn't kink against the tower wall..
To keep my beer lines from kinking.
Needed it for new tower assembly and wanted the SS versions.
Wanted an angled tailpiece instead of the straight one for more efficient flow and best clearance on the top of the keg coupler.
How tall is this? I have minimal clearance above my adapter.
BEST ANSWER: The overall height of this tailpiece is 1 5/8 inches. Cheers!
Will this fit product code SS-SHANK? If so, what parts/kit would I need to join them?
BEST ANSWER: Yes. Other things to consider, inner diameter of shank & fitting the same? Also you'll need a square cut o ring, nut, and hose/clamp for the fitting side if you didn't know. It will fit, Cheers!??
Yes, it will work with SS-SHANK. You will need a hex nut and washer, as well. I've included links to those products below. Cheers!
I believe that all you would need is a TAIL NUT .
Is a similar item available to fit a 5/16 size tube? | 2019-04-26T08:36:41 | https://www.kegworks.com/stainless-steel-90-degree-tail-piece |
If you’re looking for a cheap TV 42 inches or larger, there are a lot of advantages to buying a plasma instead of an LCD.
The biggest is picture quality: an LCD is typically not able to reproduce the black levels and contrast of an equivalently priced plasma, and plasma always trounces LCD for viewing angle and uniformity. Entry-level 720p plasmas are also more energy-efficient than more expensive 1080p plasmas, and while they use a lot more power than LCDs, they still only cost about $20 to $30 per year to run. | 2019-04-21T14:04:10 | http://vinodrawat.com/best-cheap-plasma-tvs/ |

Why do dogs eat poops?
Dogs are scavengers. As many dog owners know to their cost, dogs often have a penchant for things that we find less than palatable. If it’s not counter or table surfing, it might be raiding the kitchen rubbish bin or snacking on rich pickings from the park, street or elsewhere.
Occasionally, those rich pickings include poo, much to the disgust of many owners. That poo can be from a range of species (birds, horses, rabbits, cattle, sheep, deer, and in my own dogs’ case, cat poo is a particular favourite). But sometimes, dogs have a desire to consume either their own or other dogs’ faeces. This behaviour is called coprophagy, literally translated as “faeces eating” and, unsurprisingly, many dog owners don’t like it.
First, it seems that not all dogs eat each other’s poo. The study found that only 16% of more than 1,000 dog owners surveyed saw their dogs consume canine faeces at least six times or more (the study’s definition of coprophagy). And 77% recorded never seeing their pets eat other dogs’ poo.
Yet none of this explains why certain dogs will eat poo if they can. It might simply be that some dogs like it and have learned, either by accident or with intent, to consume faeces. Perhaps dogs do it if their owners or other dogs they come into contact with show a particular interest in faeces. After all, we know that dogs often synchronise their behaviour with their owners (though it’s unlikely that most affected owners are coprophagic).
But the study authors suggest that coprophagy is something much more basic. It’s possible that poo eating is an evolutionary remnant from dogs’ ancestors, where faeces could be a source of disease, especially from parasites. Removing faeces early by eating it might represent a way of cleaning it up to prevent infectious parasites developing in the days after it’s deposited. And dogs today may indulge in exactly the same behaviour. | 2019-04-22T04:05:34 | http://blog.doglost.co.uk/why-do-dogs-eat-poops/ |

My latest attempt at banana bread resulted in something that fooled the senses at first. It smelled done, it felt done, and the toothpick test (in 5 places) indicated it was cooked through, so I served it.
The first slice was fine. The second slice was fine. Sometime later, I noticed it was a bit… juicy. I dissected the loaf and the centre was jiggly. It was so raw, I became rather disgusted and put the camera down. It couldn’t, shouldn’t, be photo-documented any further. I confided to my bestie about what happened.
It’s true! My ginger loaf and banana breads always come out of the oven screwed up. Maybe I need more practice. In the Year of Pie and the Trials and Tribulations of Fudge, it didn’t take too long to get it right. I just made it all the time for awhile (my guts are recoiling in memory) until I got it right.
So; practice. The worst part of making banana bread is letting the bananas ripen. There is a fine line between over-ripe fruit and putrefied fruit, turn your back for a few hours and suddenly instead of squashing mushy bananas, you are splitting the skin with a knife and watching the clear fluid burst out like a floater fished from the river. Zombie fruit on the counter isn’t my idea of a good time. Experiments in cellular degeneration gone awry.
Oh well. Time to get back to The Rotting Bread.

"In the two-hour series premiere, Josh Gates embarks on an expedition to investigate what might be the most iconic unsolved event in the world - the disappearance of Amelia Earhart during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 1937. Several incredible new leads in the story take Gates on an adventure through aviation history and remote areas of the world. These clues might finally lead to answers behind the greatest cold case in history."
Talk about hype! "..the most iconic unsolved event in the world? "
Josh picked up on a TIGHAR lead, crawled around under a porch and found some bones that turned out to have nothing to do with the Earhart mystery.
I won't be watching the show.
"..the most iconic unsolved event in the world?
Just goes to show you, Lincoln was right. Maybe even do it long enough to get people to tune in for an hour now and then.
I've come to believe that the vast majority of the public is more intrested in TV candy than truth anyway.
Hard to believe "reality" TV would be anything but real solid science!
If it's on TV or the internet, it has to be true, right?
I've come to believe that the vast majority of the public is more interested in TV candy than truth anyway.
Quite so, Mr. Neville sir. The term "mockumentary" seems almost over-generous to most of these efforts.
Folks, we're expecting too much out of our TV friends. Of course, they'll screw it up. But any publicity about Amelia--however inaccurate or irrelevant by our standards--is good for the TIGHAR investigation.
We just need to adjust our thinking a bit and have a little more patience (as if TIGHARs haven't been patient!!:). These whacky takes are in fact opportunities to solidify the TIGHAR brand as the only sober authority on all things Amelia.
Not the preferred or most direct method to do that, but over time very effective.
I enjoyed it for the on-the-ground video of PNG, Lae, Ribaul, and Fiji. It showed, at least, that looking for old airplanes in the Pacific can be difficult.
Is it serious, useful television? No, of course not, TV is all about ratings, not truth. Our Fearless Leader did get a bit of on-camera time but generally, TIGHAR does not get a lot of coverage here.
How can you have an Expedition Unknown? Is that supposed to be catchy, or clever? Why not just call the show Expedition Non Sequitur?
Just watched it on Demand. I thought it was great...and gave Tighar, and one Ric Gillespie, some good and deserved credibility. And it eliminated a couple of potential distracting theories. Looking forward to the results of tests on the bones found under the house. Who knows! Also keeps the mystery going without Tighar having to do it. | 2019-04-26T14:48:50 | https://tighar.org/smf/index.php?topic=1219.0;prev_next=next |
As I am continuing to shoot I am finding that I love live show and event photography. I recently had the opportunity to capture the band Chelusier doing their thing and performing their new album Leo at The Elbow Room in Chicago. First time being at The Elbow Room I was really surprised with the set up they had in what looked from the outside to be a fairly small bar. The Elbow room had an awesome stage set up on the bottom floor along with an open mic stage set up on the first floor where they ran two shows simultaneously. Live music in the basement and a wide variety of talents on the main floor. I highly suggest checking out the bar and hanging out for a show or an open mic sometime this year.
This past year Chelusier released their new album Leo, which I designed the album cover for which was an awesome experience. I was able to get to know the band quite a lot through listening to their music and getting feedback on the album cover. They’re new, they’re cool, they’re from the Chicagoland area, I definitely suggest checking them out! They are on Facebook and Instagram and you can listen to their latest album on Spotify! | 2019-04-24T12:27:52 | https://www.msavdesign.com/blog-1/2019/2/12/chelusier-at-the-elbo-room |
