Are YOU, dear reader, living in an area ravaged by man-made quakes due to oil fracking? Check out this map by U.S. Geological Survey scientists comparing natural quake zones versus man-made quake zones.
The big difference is, the quakes in Oklahoma and Texas are "induced" — they're caused by oil and gas operations that pump wastewater down into underground wells.
USGS scientists have now published the first maps of these new quake zones, and they're an eye-opener. An eye-opener because 7 million people are now, suddenly, living in quake zones. There are 21 hot spots where the quakes are concentrated. They're in places where, historically, noticeable earthquakes were rare.
Sooner or later, American citizens will start playing the game Fracture, and start to wonder if weaponry like Tectonic Grenades that create "terrain deformation" might not be feasible after all. | 2019-04-23T08:50:29 | http://technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=4801 |

Solar power will become cheaper and batteries will progressively increase in capacity ....... however solar and wind power will only be supplements to the nuclear fusion power that will become available hopefully in a few decades, and certainly by the end of this century. Absolutely clean and needing only a bit of water for fuel.

If I was a betting man my money is on geothermal.
I do agree that fusion is a long term answer to our energy needs. However the next few decades could be optimistic but this is one area that is up in the air and we will have to see how ITER goes. | 2019-04-18T11:21:03 | http://www.city-data.com/forum/science-technology/2120335-quickly-rising-antarctica-suggests-runny-earth-2.html |

I thought this might be interesting to anyone here that works on automobile engines. For years I struggled with my store bought engine stand. Just turning the bare block was a chore as there was such a large difference between the I.D. and the O.D. of the shafts that the engine rotates on. And then there is the problem of getting the locking pin into the hole while hanging on to the turning handle.
So, I came up with this. A little bit of overkill, perhaps, but as I was treading in unknown territory I went with "bigger is better".
The shaft started as a piece of 2" steel that I turned down to1- 7/8"and mounted on pillow blocks and self centering bearings. I cut the original outer tube down the middle and welded on a piece of 1/2" plate. The engine mounting plate was welded to the shaft and the pillow blocks were bolted to the plate.
On the controller I have an on-off switch, a dpdt switch to control direction and a 12 Volt PWM to control the speed.
The motor is a 10 RPM gear reduction. It is a surplus item originally used on travel trailers to move the "slides' in and out. It has plenty of torque. More than I needed, but the price was right. It also has a built in electromagnetic brake so it holds its position when you turn the power off. No need for a locking pin. It was purchased from Burden Sales for $60.00.
I also added some "outriggers" to the stand to give it some stability when torquing on fasteners.
Some threaded rod with nuts welded inside the square tube and hockey pucks on the bottom.
Not including the price of the original stand or the powdercoating it cost about $250.00 in materials.
Just thought I would post some pics and specs of the motor. At 70 Ft. LBS. it might just be the answer to someones overkill project. BTW, I did an interweb search and found similar motors selling for up to $500.
That thing rocks. I can think of a few times when I would have wanted one! Awesome job.
Now all you have to do is include a drive to the wheels and your days of dragging it around are over.
hello snub, is there anyway to get more detail info on the motorized engine stand you made??
All you need now is a remote control.... maybe an App on your smartphone?
Or, if the engine's like one of mine (~250kg), yeah, you use a separate engine hoist to position it.
Sorry, Roger, not really. There weren't any plans. I just "winged it". | 2019-04-25T20:20:05 | https://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,7989.0.html?PHPSESSID=oopafjqhjmersevpk575a7gs44 |
We have the Free account but I am locked out of my records because of non-payment. Can you help clarify?
I do not understand why my account has been suspended because, as far as I am aware, I am still using the most basic features which come free and have not exceeded any allowance which should push me to a paid subscription.
Please confirm ASAP as this affects my professional work.
Hello, my account was blocked cuz I dont pay, but I want to stay on free plan.
I like too much of my task helper, constant use but the monthly payment costs me a lot for my domestic use. Think about helping me. Thank you.
Hello I saw in another faq Mr. Jose Almanso that you unlocked for the account person to adapt to the free plan. I hope you guys do the same to me by saying what I’ve gone through.
you have suspended my account because of non payment.
but you have ine free account type, and what i created applies in that means.
why did you suspended me, and why i can not change anything?
I was under the impression I was on a free account until I reached a certain level of usage then I would upgrade as needed. What’s going on guys?
I could not login to my profile to pay.
What is going on, i can’t login to my profile to subscribe to my plan for my database and all my clients and members information i have already upload in it. Is that how your company does? I am loosing confidence in your company for just this singular act. Please i need my profile in the next 30mins. now my clients are on me with seriously pressure.
I had been trying out MyTaskHelper for past few weeks (my id is [email protected]). I received email from your side mentioning that my account has been suspended due to non-payment.
I would be much happy to subscribe to your service, but before paying and complete adoption i would like to get it running for some time and i would like to switch to free version now. As time progress and I get more comfortable with your software i plan to move to paid version. SO kindly activate your free version for my id. | 2019-04-25T01:00:36 | https://quintadb.com/tags/868-blocked?from=forum |

Landscaping | Horizon Resources, Inc.
Our philosophy regarding commercial landscape maintenance and enhancements is to provide the finest in quality care possible for a fair price. We service HOA’s – both commercial and residential, office buildings, retail centers, multi-family building, and industrial properties. We specialize in providing innovative solutions along with professional commercial landscape maintenance services to each of our clients.
We understand that you don’t have the time to be chasing your landscape company around your property directing them to areas that have been neglected or forgotten, showing them weeds that need to be removed, wondering why your grass or plants are dying from a lack of water or why the insects or fungus have taken over and destroyed your turf or shrubs. You’re tired of telling them that the seasonal flowers they planted 6 months ago are dead and need to be removed and replaced with a fresh set of flowers or why the dead plants along the front entrance haven’t been removed and replaced.
You also don’t want a landscape company that takes 2 to 3 days to return your phone calls or fails to follow-up on your punch list items. You’re tired of wondering which service they are scheduled to perform each week, when will it been completed and whether or not it will be invoiced correctly. You’re tired of the angry phone calls from homeowners or tenants that are constantly complaining about the poor landscape services they are receiving after paying high HOA fees or lease payments.
We specialize in providing professional, commercial landscape maintenance services to large homeowner associations, condominiums, private estates and commercial properties by adhering to our company motto of “Exceeding Expectations In Everything We Do”.
All of our commercial landscape maintenance crews have onsite supervision from English speaking experts.

Due to our motivation to disseminate and implement our knowledge as widely as possible in everyday practice, we are strongly involved in the education of future engineering and healthcare professionals who are studying at Saxion University of Applied Sciences and at the University of Twente.
We provide courses in areas such as gait analysis, rehabilitation technology, telemedicine and healthcare technology in the broadest sense. For example, we provide a course that focuses on anatomy and exercise physiology in relation to sport for the Master’s students Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine.
For Saxion students studying Manual Therapy or Sports Physiotherapy who are studying for the Musculoskeletal Master, we provide an optional course Gait Image Analysis over four half days, which is based on the detailed course on this subject that we provide to healthcare professionals. We teach the students to identify gait disorders based on a video observation of the gait pattern, to formulate hypotheses that can explain gait disorders, to test these hypotheses, and to choose treatment possibilities based on the testing of the hypotheses.
In addition to this integral optional course, we provide individual guest lectures about the possibilities modern technology offers in healthcare, such as the implementation of sensor technology in physiotherapy practice. | 2019-04-21T02:51:59 | http://www.rrd.nl/en/educational-courses/ |
Percepio has released Tracealyzer version 4.1 with support for Micrium µC/OS-III. We have also added support for RTOS tracing via Arm’s ITM interface (Instrumentation Trace Macrocell), that allows very fast streaming of software trace data with low overhead.
“Tracealyzer 4 is such a massive improvement over previous versions and as we have been working closely with Micrium since 2013, supporting µC/OS-III has been a priority for us. Many Micrium users have asked for this and now it is here,” says Johan Kraft, CEO of Percepio.
Developers using µC/OS-III can now benefit from the many new features in Tracealyzer 4, such as unlimited tracing, advanced live visualization, a new modern user interface and user-defined analysis and visualization.
In addition, the new release introduces support for RTOS tracing via ITM, a feature available on many ARM Cortex M-based MCUs. Streaming trace data via ITM can be very fast; in lab tests Percepio has achieved transfer speeds exceeding 2 Mbytes/s. Moreover, with ITM there is no need for a RAM buffer in the target which allows you to do RTOS tracing with minimal overhead.
We have a short blog post up about ITM tracing, and also a detailed Application Note to help you get started with this exciting technology using Arm Keil µVision and Tracalyzer.
Tracealyzer 4.1 is available for download at percepio.com. Support for ITM tracing is initially available for Keil µVision with FreeRTOS and Micrium µC/OS-III, but support is planned for other RTOSes and development tools soon. | 2019-04-19T10:38:20 | https://percepio.com/2018/05/08/tracealyzer-4-supports-uc-os-iii-itm/ |
I remember when the movie, The Polar Express, first opened. It was 2004 and I was living in East Bay California. I shared an apartment with a family and we decided to go into San Francisco to make a day of it-the 3D movie, lunch, the whole nine yards. We were all excited.
What I first recall was the sticker shock I felt when we approached the ticket agent. I had agreed to purchase the tickets as Christmas gifts. For 2 adults and 2 children it cost a whopping $60. That wasn't even getting to the candy counter, (which we promptly vetoed).
Although the magic of the movie was enhanced with the 3D quality, and certainly many of the scenes were downright breathtaking, the initial cost to see the movie put a damper on the event for me. However, I couldn't resist the beautiful music that played throughout the movie. That was unforgettable.
Composer Alan Silvestri could not have done a more magnificent job in the direction that the music took us, and certainly in connecting with his audience. From the beginning to the end, the music plays to the mood of the story, captivating our attention and, like the Polar Express itself, you don't even realize how magical it is until it is almost over.
Born in New Jersey, American film composer, Alan Silvestri, had an early love for music and rhythm. At age three he was banging on the drums, and woodwinds and guitar eventually followed. He embarked on his musical career in 1972 when his musical score was used in the movie: The Doberman Gang. He has had continued success for forty years.
If you have been a steady movie goer these past four decades you will surely have heard some of the soundtrack music Silvestri has written for major motion pictures. Here are the titles of several of them: Forrest Gump, Fern Gulley: The Last Rainforest, Romancing the Stone, The Bodyguard, The Parent Trap, Stuart Little, The Avengers.
As a composer, Silvestri has been nominated for many awards and won two Grammy Awards: One in 2002 for the movie Cast Away and the second in 2006 for the song, 'Believe', from the movie The Polar Express. This award was shared with Glen Ballard, who co-wrote the song.
In addition to the Grammy awards, the Max Steiner Film Music Achievement Award was presented to Silvestri in 2011, by the City of Vienna. This is an annual concert and award ceremony given to composers for extraordinary achievement in film music.
Alan Silvestri resides in California with his family and is the owner of Silvestri Vineyards in Carmel Valley, California.
Chris Van Allsbur was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where his grandfather built a family business around a creamery. Van Allsbur describes his early life in an idyllic way-fields and streams, starry nights and fireflies. And, when it came to college Chris Van Allsbur was interviewed, and accepted, into the prestigious University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
He studied art, excelling in sculptor, and following his graduation from U of M, completed a Masters in Fine Arts at the Rhode Island School of Design. His sculptures were showed in art galleries in New York, as well as some of his drawings.
It was his black and white sketches that drew his wife's attention as an art teacher. She brought some of Van Allsburg's sketches to a fellow artist, who encouraged Chris to write children's stories.
Chris Van Allsburg has won the Caldecott Medal for Jumanji, and The Polar Express. He lives in Rhode Island with his wife and daughters. His website encourages teachers and young writers.
Author, Chris Van Allsburg's birthplace.
Most children have no problem believing in Santa Claus, but what happens when they grow older and the believing disappears? In the story, The Polar Express, our hero, DJ Walters, cannot hear the bells of Christmas ring...that is, until his magical ride to the North Pole on The Polar Express.
As the movie unfolds, he hops aboard on Christmas Eve, meets other children on their way to meet Santa, and has an adventure that changes his life...and his beliefs. When he finally wakes up in his own bed on Christmas morning, he excitedly discovers one special present left to him as a reminder of his midnight adventure-a silver bell given to him by Santa as the first present of Christmas.
This is an animated movie written by Robert Zemeckis, and the characters are given the human qualities through performance capture technology. This is a way that records the movements and action of the actors and creates the animation as if there were actual people performing.
The movie stars Tom Hanks who actually takes on six different roles: The father, the Narrator, the conductor, the Hobo, Santa, and DJ Walters-the young boy. Jennifer Bennet is the Girl Hero, played by Nona Gaye, (Meagan Moore is her singing voice), and Peter Scolari plays the part of Billy, the boy from the broken home.
The movie is very entertaining and the plot unpredictable. It brings the audience on a true adventure of intrigue, thrills, great escapes and meeting mysterious people. The animation is well done, and Hanks performances are impressive. And, the lead 'rocker' elf is none other than, Steven Tyler.
The musical score ranges from dreamy instrumental, to whimsical songs about Christmas and believing, to rocking, upbeat music. With over half a dozen songs, there is something that will please everyone. Two of my favorites are: Hot Chocolate, and Believe.
The delightful music from the Polar Express movie is sure to be a hit for any family with young children. 'Hot Chocolate' is a toe tapping song that is hard to resist dancing to. Although the movie is old, the music doesn't age.
I was living in Michigan in 2005 when my grandson, then two years old, received the DVD and soundtrack to the Polar Express. Watching any train show was a joy to him, and he had many of the Thomas the Train movies in his collection. But, what made this special was that it was not an 'animated' train, like trusty Thomas was. And, the story appealed to his older sister and parents.
I didn't realize the impact the movie had on him until I was waiting with him in the family van one afternoon. Before my daughter ran into school to pick up my granddaughter she put the Polar Express soundtrack on. The next thing I heard from the back seat was a very loud, "All aboard!" as Marco mimicked the conductor's call.
When the song, Hot Chocolate began to play he was out of his seat and thoroughly entertaining me with his rendition of the tap dancing waiters who served hot chocolate to the passengers. Attempting to suppress my laughter so he did not misunderstand my delight, I was a captive audience. He was fully engrossed in his dance by the time sister and mom arrived.
It's no wonder he jumped out of his car seat and got up to shake and jive, it is one catchy tune...and if you are watching the movie, not merely listening to the CD, it is tempting to start doing cartwheels the next time you make some hot chocolate! I recently watched the movie again and have to say that the Hot Chocolate scene is one of my favorites.
Isn't it true? Whether it is the holiday season of Christmas, or just an average day in our lives, we must believe in our dreams in order for them to take flight. And, despite all odds against us something miraculous will take place, if we just believe.
Wouldn't it be a wonderful experience to treat your children, or perhaps yourself, to an evening ride on The Polar Express? Well, did you know that you can make this happen? There are over thirty trains throughout North America that re-create the ride to Santa's home in the North Pole. Wear your pajamas, sip hot chocolate, and sing Christmas carols with other kids of all ages.
At Rail Events, Inc. you are linked to a homepage that gives detailed information about this family event held each winter season. Beginning in November through the end of December, tourists can participate in a train ride to see Santa. When they meet their destination Santa boards the train and visits with passengers while handing out gifts of silver bells.
Because each location has an individual pricing and seating schedule, it's best to go directly to www.raileventsinc.com for details. The Polar Express is available in the following states: New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Illinois, North Carolina, West Virginia, Washington, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Maine, Oregon, Texas, New Jersey, Nevada, California and Vermont. It's also available in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.
Hi Audrey, I love this movie too, and usually watch it each Christmas season. The soundtrack is great! Thanks for commenting.
I haven't been on HP OR Bubblews for a long time. I've been busy at work, first with finishing my mandatory reading for my annual evaluation; then with writing an article for publication in the Hospital journal. Yay!
Mostly work schedule interference, but now I'm packing to move. Thanks for the inquiry.
Love love this movie---are you on Bubblews these days??
Hi Kevin, I'm glad you enjoyed the hub. Honestly, when I saw little Marco dancing and singing I had to smile. He was really into the music and that he remembered the details of the movie at his age was amazing. Thanks for reading this one.
This was something else Denise. I believe that I saw it when it came to TV, and judging by the price that you paid for the tickets I am kind of glad!
It must have really been fun to watch your children/grandchildren in the back of that van dance and sing to that DVD. :-) You did a great job describing the highlights. I gave it a thumbs up and straight across.
Great hub. I will be looking up the website you mention of author, Chris Van Allsbur and also I'll be looking for his book, Jumanji, to peek at on Amazon. I hadn't heard of it nor him. But I've heard 'When Christmas Comes to Town' at least 70 times in the past two years when my grandchildren sing it at home or perform it on stage. I still love it. Thank you for bringing this author to our attention.
I haven't seen this movie but it sounds as though I should.Thank you for this review.
Hi Angela-thank you for reading and sharing your experiences here with the Polar Express. I suppose you have seen it 3 D and regular. Which movie style do you prefer?
I watch Polar Express every year, it has been become one of my favorite Christmas movies and the animation is great.
Hi Dianna-Thank you. Isn't that a fun scene? And even just listening to it alone, it gets your toes tapping. (I love the movie Romancing the Stone, but my all time fave romantic comedy is When Harry Met Sally).
I love the hot chocolate dance scene in Polar Express. I also list Romancing The Stone as a classic on my list of movies. Great hub and excellent choices on the soundtrack selection.
Hi SandCastles-what a great idea to use your air miles for entertainment that you enjoy. Yes, the movie was splendid, wasn't it?
The movie was visually stunning.
I use airmiles to buy movie tickets.
Hi Ruchira-oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed this review. It's one of my favorite Christmas movies, too. Thanks for your comments.
Hi Ruby-you can find it in stores in the DVD section. It's always a 'hot' item at Christmas, but I'm sure you'll be able to get a copy b/c it's been out for awhile. I know you'll enjoy it-but, let me know if you do watch it, and what you think of it. :) Thanks for your comments.
I can't believe i never saw this movie. I hope it is on a movie CD. I will make sure i see it. A great review Denise. Thank you.. | 2019-04-20T12:37:27 | https://hubpages.com/entertainment/A-Christmas-Soundtrack-for-the-Polar-Express-Movie |

Inside the G Flex 2 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 SoC, which we first reviewed in the HTC One M9. The implementation of the SoC was slightly difference in HTC’s flagship, due to aggressive CPU and GPU downclocking in some circumstances, which we shouldn’t see as much of in the G Flex.
The Snapdragon 810 features an eight-core CPU made up of a quad-core ARM Cortex-A57 cluster clocked at 1.96 GHz and a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU clocked at 1.56 GHz. There’s also an Adreno 430 GPU clocked at 600 MHz, and a dual-channel 32-bit LPDDR4-1600 memory controller providing 25.6 GB/s of bandwidth. As the SoC uses ARMv8 CPU cores, it’s fully 64-bit compliant.
There’s also support for LTE Category 9 in the Snapdragon 810, which supports connections of 450 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps up. Other connectivity features include Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.1, and A-GPS+GLONASS. If you want to read more about the Snapdragon 810, check out my review of the HTC One M9 which goes in to more detail on Qualcomm’s flagship silicon.
As for hardware specific to the G Flex 2, we’re seeing either 2 or 3 GB of RAM depending on whether you get a model with 16 or 32 GB of internal storage. If 32 GB isn’t enough for you, there’s also microSDXC card support via a slot under the back cover. You also get NFC, which is standard for a flagship smartphone, and infrared for controlling home theatre equipment through a built-in app.
As with many phones today, there are several variations of the LG G Flex 2, each supporting a different range of LTE bands. Rather than listing all the variants here, check with your carrier before purchasing the G Flex 2 to ensure there’s good compatibility.
Before I get straight into the benchmarks, it’s worth talking about how the G Flex 2 performs in a general sense. While the Snapdragon 810 is undoubtedly a powerful chip, LG hasn’t done a great job of optimizing their skin, so after a few weeks of use the G Flex 2 can feel a bogged down. This manifests itself as a somewhat laggy interface on occasion, and it can slow down multi-tasking that is otherwise extremely snappy.
Luckily the G Flex 2 isn’t naturally a laggy device, meaning most of the time it’ll feel blazing fast. However you’d expect a modern flagship to be fast all the time, so I hope LG can address the occasional slowdown through a software update.
Due to less aggressive throttling, the LG G Flex 2 is 12% faster than the HTC One M9 in CPU limited workloads, despite the One M9 using the same SoC. This lead extends to 15% when looking across each individual test in the system benchmarks we run, which factors in NAND, memory and (sometimes) GPU performance. All things considered this is a pretty good result for the G Flex 2.
Compared to the LG G3, which used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 801 SoC, we’re seeing gains of 49% on the CPU side and 44% from a general system perspective, which again is a great result for a device less than a year newer. For those interested, the G Flex 2 was around 25-30% faster than the Snapdragon 805 Galaxy Note 4, albeit with a more limited sample of benchmarks to compare. | 2019-04-23T04:06:29 | https://www.techspot.com/review/985-lg-g-flex-2/page3.html |
I'm a hammer thrower for Team USA and supported by NIKE. I've participated in three Olympic Games- 2004 (Athens, Greece), 2008 (Beijing, China), and 2012 (London, England). I just recently moved to South Dakota with my family because I am the Track and Field Throws Coach at the University of South Dakota.
Popular question: Am I training for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games? Answer: Yes.
I have been very blessed with the experiences I've had and to maintain a healthy body, and I'm very appreciative of everything. I'm living and experiencing my dreams by pursuing the Olympics.
As the current Throws Coach at the University of South Dakota (USD), I'm excited for this new chapter of coaching at the Division 1 level.
Prior to my arrival at USD, I worked at Ashland University in Ohio as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for all athletic athletes and programs.
My throwing career started in college while attending Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa, which is 1 hour from my hometown of Sheldon, IA. During college I participated in football and track & field. My interest in the hammer developed through college where I worked hard to earn the (2001) NCAA Division II Championship in the hammer throw as a college senior. In 2002, after graduating from Morningside College, Jud Logan invited me to move almost 1,000 miles away to Ashland, Ohio to train full-time for the 2004 Olympics. I was very flattered at his invitation and request as Jud Logan is a 4-time Olympic Hammer Thrower and a nationally recognized coach as the Head Track and Field Coach at Ashland University.
So, I packed my bags and headed east. With a full commitment to throwing, I devoted my full attention to training (while figuring out arrangements for housing, health insurance, income, food, etc). As life always brings challenges along the way, I focused my attention to remain on my training, throwing marks, and preparation for the 2004 Games. Fortunately, I threw 79.26 meters before the Games began in enough time to qualify and compete in Athens, Greece. It was an unbelievable experience and one I'll never forget...seeing the facilities, experiencing the hospitality, staying in the Olympic Village, and seeing all the spectators. Since this was my 1st Olympic Game to participate in, I was hoping to do a lot better but I still didn't throw too bad.
After the 2004 Games, I continued my training for the 2008 Olympic Games. My throwing marks improved since 2004 and I've been fortunate to earn an invitation to several international competitions, including the World Championships in Helsinki and Osaka, returning to Athens for the World Cup, and the PanAmerican Games in Brazil.
So 4 years later, I was blessed enough to attend another Olympic Game. I participated in the 2008 Olympic Trials and qualified for the 2008 USA Olympic Team on July 4th, 2008. Three weeks after the Olympic Trials, I travel to Beijing to adjust to the environment 10 days prior to Opening Ceremonies. It was an amazing experience. I competed at the Games and wish I would have thrown better.
2012 approached very quickly. Olympic Trials were held in Beaverton, OR, at NIKE Headquarters. It was an event just for the Hammer. It was awesome and I'm so glad NIKE coordinated this event. There I earned my third invitation to the Olympic Games in London. That was a great experience. Here, too, I wish I would have thrown better.
I just take every day in stride and try my best. I try to focus on my goals and not let the little things in life interrupt me. I'm thankful for all the experiences I've had. I' look forward to future experiences I'm blessed with because this is a really fun journey. Thank you to all my supporters... especially my family, because I couldn't have done this without you. | 2019-04-25T03:59:11 | http://gokruger.blogspot.com/p/about.html |
Employing gel and buffer discontinuities to produce sharp separation among sample components, multiphasic electrophoresis design can improve the resolution of electrophoresis (especially protein electrophoresis). The system employs a separating gel in which the sample is fractionated, above which has been added a low percentage stacking gel. In the stacking gel, sample components are stacked into very thin, sharp zones prior to the final separation. To illustrate the principles of multiphasic systems, we shall examine the most prominent application of this type, the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis of proteins. Multiphasic SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis is often referred to as the Laemmli system after the researcher who perfected the design. At the beginning of the experiment, the buffer compositions are different in the stacking gel, the separation gel, and the tank. The stacking gel contains a Tris-HCl buffer at pH 6.8. The separation gel contains a higher concentration Tris-HCl buffer at pH 8.8. The tanks contain Tris-glycine at pH 8.8.
At the start of multiphasic SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis the anions are chloride (green) in the stacking and resolving gels and glycine (orange) in the tanks.
As electrophoresis begins both Cl- and glycinate ions begin to migrate through the stacking gel. Because the pH is several points lower in the stacking gel than the pKa2of glycine, the vast majority of glycine molecules are zwitterionic at any moment and their mobility is very low. Because the mobility of the chloride ions is greater than the glycine, the chloride ions (leading ions) begin to migrate away from the glycine (trailing ions). The chloride ions don't move far before they leave behind an area of unbalanced positive counter ions. A steep voltage gradient develops, the Kohlrausch discontinuity, which pulls the glycine along so that the chloride and glycine ions become successive fronts moving at the same speed. The ion fronts sweep through the sample molecules. Being intermediate in their mobility between chloride and glycine, the sample molecules are carried along becoming "stacked" into very thin, distinct layers in order of electrophoretic mobility.
With the establishment of the Kohlrausch boundary in the stacking gel, the proteins are stacked into a thin layer between the leading chloride ions and the trailing glycine molecules.
When the interface between the stacking and separation gels is reached by the moving boundary region, the pH changes abruptly (as well as the pore size). At the higher pH a much higher percentage of glycine will be in the ionized state, and its mobility will be increased commensurately. The mobility of sample molecules is decreased by the sieving of the new, higher percentage matrix. The glycine accelerates past the stacked layers of sample molecules and the process of unstacking in the separating gel begins. From this point on, the electrophoretic separation occurs under conditions of constant pH and voltage that are indistinguishable from homogeneous PAGE.
Electrophoresis in the resolving gel is indistinguishable from ordinary homogeneous buffer systems. | 2019-04-25T06:24:50 | https://www.nationaldiagnostics.com/electrophoresis/article/multiphasic-buffer-systems |

My kids are trying to kill me.
Yesterday my son took me out on the trail walk for a gazillion miles and then today Haley takes me on every possible mountain hill in the area.
Is it possible for 6.75 miles to be ALL UPHILL?!
I can’t begin to thank them enough for caring that I am motivated to get out there every day and do it. I am truly blessed.
Haley and I took some absolutely killer hills today that registered as 28 floors climbed in the Fitbit. I may die.
I saw you busting a move getting up those hills! You rock!
Looks like it is early days but you are making a great start. Often we continue to look at the road ahead, and see endless mountains which can overwhelm us. It can be wise in those times to glance over our shoulder at the mountains we’ve already traversed and remember “they didn’t defeat me”. At the end of every month I’ve begun writing DONE lists, to signal the achievements I’ve made. To-do lists might get us moving, but once we’ve achieved something we cross it off and forget about it. So the “done” list is used to remind us of what we’ve achieved, it shouldn’t be forgotten by being crossed out, it should be celebrated because we got it done!
You 2 are doing such an amazing job..I’m proud of both of you..Congrats!
There is no motivation quite like seeing someone else out there just doing it. You rock, Cricket. | 2019-04-24T05:50:34 | https://www.cricketwalker.com/day-10-all-uphill/ |

An Apple patent application published on Thursday reveals the company is actively researching advanced quantum dot-enhanced displays, a next-generation technology that has the potential to reproduce highly accurate and vivid colors.
Apple's patent for a "Quantum dot-enhanced display having dichroic filter," published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, offers a highly detailed look at both quantum dot tech and how it can be applied to portable devices like the iPhone.
Quantum dots (QDs) are technically nanocrystals - in some cases smaller than a virus - made from various semiconductor materials that exhibit special quantum mechanical characteristics. Of interest to display makers, as well as other industries in the optics field, are QDs' light-emitting properties. Specifically, the material can be "tuned," or manufactured, to emit very narrow spectrums of light.
According to the filing, the electronic properties of QDs are defined by their size and shape, meaning the colors emitted during excitation can be controlled through fabrication. Nanocrystal size and wavelength emission (more accurately bandgap energy) are inversely related, so the larger the QD, the smaller the emission frequency.
Applied to color, bigger dots will skew toward longer wavelengths like red, while smaller dots emit shorter, higher frequency wavelengths like violet. For example, a cadmium selenide quantum dot may be tuned to gradually reproducing the entire visible spectrum, ranging from approximately 460nm (blue) to 650nm (red). This ability to change color by varying nanocrystal size is unlike current phosphor- or organic-based LEDs, which emit light in a fixed spectrum.
In Apple's invention, as with other proposed implementations, a dichroic filter is disposed on a quantum dot-enhanced film (QDEF) in an red/blue/green (RGB) LCD display.
One embodiment calls for a non-QD light source that emits a blue light be combined with a light emitting layer of two QD groups, one red and one green. The layer, possibly a nano-film, is positioned above the first illumination source, thereby absorbing a portion of its blue light to emit red and green light. A second portion of the blue light is allowed to transmit through the QDEF.
The dichroic filter above the QDEF then reflects some of the transmitted blue light back down to be recycled, while allowing an even smaller portion through as white light.
In the embodiment discussed at length in patent application's body, the display also implements an LCD that controls passage of the aforementioned white light through color filters arranged in subpixels. This would provide extremely accurate color reproduction.
A less confusing way to imagine Apple's invention would be to follow light emitted by the LED backlight unit. First, a normal blue LED emits light that is sent to a light guide panel. The LGP evenly distributes the light to the back of an LCD panel with color filters arranged in subpixels.
At this point, instead of using phosphors to produce red and green light, the QDEF's quantum dots are brought to photoluminescence by the blue light, which consequently produces red and green light. The dichroic filter then reflects some of the blue light transmitted through the QDEF back to the QDEF, thereby increasing excitation and red/green output.
Color gamuts of QDEF displays compared to sRGB and Adobe RGB.
The filing goes on to explain how brightness can be boosted using prisms and other light forming techniques. Also noted in detail are candidate semiconductor materials from which QDs and QDEFs can be fabricated in a non-toxic manner.
It is unclear if or when Apple will use quantum dot technology in its devices, though the company has a history of delivering some of the best displays in the industry. Recently, however, the colors reproduced by the iPad mini with Retina display were found by one study to be less accurate than competing tablets, possibly leaving some room for improvement.
Apple's quantum dot-enhanced display patent application was first filed for in 2012 and credits Chenhua You as its inventor.
Sony is already using quantum dots in its high-end Full HD and 4K TVs to expand the color gamut from sRGB to x.v.color. But it only makes sense if the content is also encoded in a larger color gamut (nor movies, games or TV content is atm.), otherwise the sRGB colors will be "stretched" and become inaccurate.
It could make sense for Apple to use it in for example a 4K display for the Mac Pro or an iPad Pro. Wider color gamuts is mostly for professional use right now.
So, my question is, Is there any chances that Apple may use this 4K technology in his next flagship phone?
The new Kindle Fire HDX tablet also includes a quantum dot display.
EDIT: Guess who else filed a patent on a Quantum Dot Display with a dichroic filter ... Samsung.
If it's something that Apple thinks important to pursue perhaps buying Nanosys would be a consideration? Their patent licenses go back as far as the 1990's (Harvard/MIT) according to press releases.
I’m quite happy that I was right about QD displays and even happier that we’re seeing them in such a short timeframe.
These advances are all well and good but where are the holographic systems? I want my Apple Holodeck before i croak.
What do you mean by encoding? If Apple adds this display to their products as well as camera apps that can encode for this as well as starts encoding all their iTunes content for QD doesn't that give him a lead?
If you look at Apple history and they have a pretty good track record of betting on the right tech horse to move them forward. If there past correct decisions is any indication of why they are or are not using a particular technology in spite of all the so call experts who think this or that is better. You have to ask yourself, why Apple is not currently using all these various so call better display technologies if they are suppose to be the leader. Well maybe it is as simple as they may not work well, their reliability is still questionable. Apple already has had quality issues with proven technologies why would the risk putting million of a product into customer hands when they know it may not be ready.
Just because Samsung, Amazon or Google choose these new technologies does not mean they know something apple does not no or apple is falling behind. Those companies I would not characterize as bell weather companies when it come to quality and performance. All three of those do not care if they product do not work in a year, they actually preferred they not work since you will have to buy again which helps their next year profits.
At this point I am think there is something which is not quite right with these technologies which Apple is waiting to see how they improve with time. In the mean time they are shipping the best known product which will meet customer expectations.
Also keep in mind these company still are competing on specmanship, they trying to win over customer simply because they have a product with better spec, not that it brings any value to how you use the product, but they can see that have better specs or a longer list of features which no one uses but their list is longer.
Your lack of understanding of Apple's history of success and failure leads you astray. And you place way too much faith in Apple. With very few exceptions, Apple has a long, littered history of having chosen poorly. And the company is known for making bad engineering decisions that are contrary to their stated marketing "message" (ala "we only give our customers the best" and "we have the best products and engineers").
Of course, as any GOOD inventor would tell you, failures can be important, as how one recovers from failure can be a great indicator of potential for success.
Apple's position on quantum dot display is more likely explained by current limitations on production (How many can be produced at acceptable yields? Answer: not enough for Apple sales.) and the fact that Apple had heavily invested in a competitor technology, IGZO, that was -supposed- to be to market significantly sooner but failed to meet production goals (not only was IGZO development a failure of progress, that QD progressed -faster- and made it to market so soon doubled that failure). It is to be seen what Apple will do going forward. Amazon could get itself into trouble if yields of the QD displays become constraining (they'd have to start shipping Kindle HDXs with substandard displays to keep up, that's always bad for business as seen in MANY Apple display fiascos, Retina MacBook Pros for one) or if the Kindle HDX's popularity significantly skyrockets this season (leading to constraint through demand). It is unlikely Apple will be able to maintain credibility if they ignore both the current Kindle HDX and Nexus 7 (2nd gen) screen specs, as "beautiful screens" are a competitive advantage for Apple and a definite marketing focus.
I assume you are replying to the post above yours. I'd say you both have some good points and the truth lies somewhere between.
Why are you narrowing on video content only???
Gamut have big implication for ages in digital publishing and having different screens gamut and color representation is the reason why the Colorsync was created at the first place. With the right colorsync profile in the OS to inform apps how to represent accurate color for a given screen, there is absolutly no reason why you don't want a screen the largest gamut for accurate proofing.
I would also like a hoverboard before I croak, but I don't think I will ever see one. | 2019-04-21T10:38:23 | https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/161248/apple-investigating-quantum-dot-enhanced-displays-for-greater-color-accuracy |
At 18, young adults are finding themselves with even easier access to credit cards than ever before. Their local bank tells them it’s time to start using credit cards to build their credit. But many young adults aren’t prepared for such a responsibility and can quickly rack up hefty consumer debt. It is crucial for teens to learn about smart spending and saving at a young age.
Most teens and young adults start working entry-level jobs on a part-time schedule while they are going to school. Society and culture has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. The young adults of today are being bombarded with a false sense of reality when they log on to their social media accounts. They see celebrities – and even their peers – going on lavish vacations, wearing expensive brands and frequenting restaurants and clubs regularly. This often leads young adults to overspending – a need to keep up with everyone else.
University students sometimes think they’ll be able to pay off their debts once they finish school and start working at a full-time job. But this isn’t always the case. Once they start working full-time, real life expenses start to pile up and paying off high consumer debt can become more and more difficult to do. It can stand in the way of buying a new car, purchasing a new home, or even saving up for the future.
It’s also important for parents to teach their children how to be fiscally responsible before they get their hands on their own credit cards. They need to understand that their wants are not the same as needs and that saving for a rainy day is not a luxury, but a necessity. When money management is taught early on, young adults can have a stronger understanding of what it means to be responsible with their money. Good habits like self-control and regular saving can lead them on the path to becoming responsible adults who can take care of themselves and their finances. | 2019-04-22T00:11:13 | http://lavalfamilies.com/articles.asp?a=1336 |
Yesterday we played tourists and walked over the bridge to the United States Naval Academy. In all the years we’ve been coming to Annapolis we never visited.
We started out at Tecumseh Court as the Middies streamed in for the noon formation. Jack is checking out the bronze replica of the figurehead of the USS Delaware.
The tourists milled around, the midshipmen milled around, the dignitaries milled around, and suddenly, without any signal we could recognize there was complete silence and the Brigade of Midshipmen was in tight formation. It was thrilling to watch each unit report readiness for duty and I welled up that so many bright young people want to serve our country.
One thing that struck both Jack and me independently was the height of the middies. I guess we were expecting tall strapping lads, but they were mostly average and below average height. I was taller than many of the men and women we passed on the sidewalks.
We wandered over to the chapel — which by all accounts is a must-see — but unfortunately it was closed in preparation for the annual Halloween concert. That meant no Tiffany windows and no crypt of John Paul Jones in the basement. We decided to sneak in past a Do Not Enter sign anyway and as we pushed the heavy door open we heard an organ rendition of Dance of the Marionettes, the unmistakeable theme of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. We followed the sound to a side chapel where Monte Maxwell, music director of the chapel was practicing for the concert.
We talked to him for a while about pipe organs. He has played the Wanamaker organ, the largest in the world, which my sister and I heard many times growing up. He said if we emailed him after the concerts were over he’d give us a personal tour of the organ.
The campus was beautiful and there were interesting memorabilia at every turn.
We spent most of the rest of our time on the yard at the Naval Academy Museum. The first floor has exhibits telling the history of the US Navy from the Quasi and Barbary Wars to the present. The second floor was amazing, with a collection of ships models that would appeal to anyone with obsessive compulsive tendencies.
There was a exhibit in the back that particularly appealed to me. These are models made largely of bones and found objects by French prisoners of the Napoleonic Wars held in Britain.
Apparently the prisoners were encouraged to use their artisan skills and sell their wares in craft markets. The intricate ship models they built brought a good price, and the prisoners could buy food and clothing with the proceeds.
The reason these caught my interest is that my ancestor, Charles Riou de Lagesse, was captain of the brig Jeune Henry when he was captured by the British ship Tartar.
(IX, Guernsey, March 18, 1804.
We have the honour to inform you, that on the 9th instant, our lugger Tartar, Letter of Marque, Francis Pironet master, being in the latitude of 45 deg. 14 min. n. longitude 6 deg. 46 min. w. fell in with and captured, after an engagement of two hours, the French brig Jeune Henri, of Bourdeaux, Rio (sic) Delagesse master, two days out of Viverro in Spain, had taken nothing: she is a fine vessel, British built, and coppered ; mounts twelve guns twelve-pounders, and two four-pounders, had fifty men on board at the time of capture, had two wounded; the Tartar mounts ten four-pounders, had fifty men on board.
We have the honour to be, &c.
He was held captive by the British for years, and may well have occupied himself making ship models. I have no way of knowing, but this display made those times and circumstances real to me in ways that researching documents does not.
We ended our visit with a late lunch at the Drydock Restaurant in Dahlgren Hall.
Later we had Alan and Jim aboard for lasagna and spent the warm evening telling sailors’ tales in the cockpit.
I enjoyed reading about your busy and historic day. Our ancestors seem to pop up all over the place!
This was very interesting, especially learning about your sea-going ancestor. You must start putting your posts into categories, although this one would be difficult, it will help you and your readers find things in the future.

I’m Speaking at Adobe MAX!
This year I was lucky to be selected as one of the speakers at Adobe MAX 2011! I will have a session that will talk about integrating various hardware products with Adobe Flash, Flex and AIR. Most of my talk will revolve around using the Microsoft Kinect and Arduino based (and other AVR) projects as inputs and outputs from the Flash/Flex/AIR stack.
If you have been following me lately on Twitter, you will see me talking about some projects that I’ve been working on, including a Kinect version of Space Invaders, and a BikePOV. Both of these projects will be shown during my talk (in addition to others!) The Kinect is such a cool input device that I think it hampered only by the developers working with it (the situation with drivers, required libraries, dependencies and lack of documentation makes it REAL hard for non-developers to do anything with them). The Arduino allows hobbyists to use their basic electronics skills to build very complex electronic gadgets and interact with them using a computer. These are all things that required EE degrees when I was a kid, so it’s super cool to see that technology has progressed to the point where you can build this stuff quickly and easily.
Make sure to sign up for the session! It is on Tuesday from 1 – 2pm! | 2019-04-24T17:59:42 | https://quetwo.wordpress.com/2011/07/ |
A little background... I was forced to end my 20 year career in 2008 following a heart attack. Once I was recovered and feeling well I decided to go self employed - I had always wanted to own a traditional sweet shop.
The first couple of years were great, not making anything like I was in my career, but happy none the less - people loved the shop, great positive comments, prices were keen etc. This last year has been horrendous - despite negotiating the best price I can on the rent, and with my suppliers, I am now literally working for nothing.
I am lucky in some ways, the business has no debt, neither do I personally - through being careful - The business was set up with personal savings and my redundancy payment (well, being retired through ill health).
The rent has increased, as have the rates, the cost of diesel and insurance on my 10 year old van has rocketed, the utilities have gone up, people are spending far less - because no one has any spare cash (welcome to my world!). It seems every time I try to get a unique selling point and try to get ahead (for example, selling American Sweets), the local supermarkets copy the range, then undercut me !
There are now quite a few empty shops around me, which have closed due to the recession, they were good businesses, and also keenly priced - now gone 'to the wall'. This has reduced 'footfall' - people have less reason to come here.
The supermarkets are killing small businesses, while you might say 'I am not competitive' - I cannot afford to stock certain things. For example with Easter eggs and selection boxes, they are actually CHEAPER in the supermarkets than I can buy them in from wholesalers - they are selling as loss leaders to entice customers in. So there is no point me stocking them, I might as well set fire to the money!
I have tried everything I can think of - free gift wrapping, catering for diabetics, vegetarian, vegan, halal, offering a loyalty card scheme, student discount, armed forces discount, NHS discount - it's just is not working now.
My shop takes about £60 a day over 6 days, by time everything is paid I take home about £50 - about a 1 an hour!! I have though about relocating the shop to a busier location but the problem is the rents out there are crazy. You can pay £15,000 rent plus for a small shop in the town centre. I would be 5 times as busy, but just working to pay the rent and be no better off! I could get a little part time job for 16 hours and take home twice the amount of money!
I know I am not the only one in this boat, but there is no support, no help and when you are self employed there is no sick pay or holiday pay either! (what is a holiday?). I know this is a bit of a whinge.....sorry. All I would like to say is this, please, if you can, support your local traders because the way things are going, all that will be left is the supermarkets and people will cry 'Oh, I used to go in that little shop all the time'. Sadly though they don't, which is why small businesses like mine are going under.
I have decided to call it a day after Christmas. I am going to take a couple of months off and enjoy what's left of my savings before they're all gone.
You know, most snobs simply like pseudo-middle-class supermarkets, of which London has too many.
I hate the snobby supermarkets, like M&S, who sell "chef's vegetables". These are vegetables, wrapped in a plastic bag. They are only vegetables. Who needs the allusion that you getting Michelin starred bag of greens? It's all vanity.
Don't the people I share my country with care about real truth, or do they all live in a gross illusion, a yuppidom beyond thinking?
Well at least you've got a supermarket there. Come to the northeast and you'll find all you've got are pawnshops and poundshops.
Well it has happened. A large chain store moved into the business of providing a local street corner store in our area. All the other local private sole-traders swiftly died out or were killed off, and closed up their shops. The private sole-traders used to have a huge range of products in their stores. The large chain store didn't or couldn't actually manage to match that range. Having killed all the local competition, the large chain store has now put up all its prices in its store. It only now sells goods which bear a high margin. Some regular everyday goods it does not even bother to stock: Eggs, Aspirin, Marmalade all come to mind. These big stores don't care to serve the local community.
France and New York have the models for respectable private food shops. These do not prevail in Britain.
I am not sorry at all! Let your grossly overpriced business go to the wall. You are probably selling well below an expected quality with a gross margin.
Good riddance to your business. Let competition prevail.
Im sorry to hear of your plight, potentially losing your business.
My grandparents on mums side ran a small general store for 30 years even working a few years after 65 to earn a few ££ to top up state pension. Most of the time my grandad had to work full time as van driver milkman etc to earn a guarenteed wage in case shop didn't.
My mum says now that they were conned into taking it on just as supermarkets were starting to become the next thing. There's a small co-op just up and round next street, plus used to be a newsagent further up their street that outlasted their shop by a few years.
Now the co-op's still there, there's a corner shop up that street far end a Londis acroos the main road from that and round the corner from my grandparents there's a Tesco Express(1 of 3 in my town and they wanted a big store in town centre where they bought out loads of small shops, still derelict after 10 years) and down hill from them a small newsagent/off licence.
There seems to be no room for the little guy unless you're a Londis franchise or Premier Off licence with the backing of a big support network of a familiar name.
Sorry but that's the way the market goes. I've worked (for other people) in retail or allied businesses all my life but I'd never do it myself unless I had major finances. If you don't have a USP you won't succeed. It's all about the market. As a one-man-band I could start a bookshop and get c.35% trade discount off retail. As a national chain I'd negotiate c.60% off plus sor. I'd love to have a shop because I really do like the customer contact but there comes a time when customers want value for money instead of service (sad).
I can understand how tough it is to make a living with a small business these days, but the supermarkets are a necessary evil for people like me who just can`t afford the prices small shops charge.
I couldn't agree more. How come the government let the big boys rule - can't they see what is happening. My new line for 2013 has just been scuppered by one of the large supermarkets selling the same line that I had intended to do, at a cheaper price than they cost from wholesale. Our markets are fading as fast as our small shops.
2013 is the year for small trade to stand up for itself. Watch out the so called big four!!!!!
Much as I sympathise, I think you are being a tad unrealistic. Like any business, you need to assess (or buy in the skills to asses real supply and demand and then create a business around that, building an operational cost to benefit strategy and plan not try to re-create nostalia using the same products that can be sold more cheaply elsewhere. No business can survive, much less thrive on 'oughts' and 'shoulds' and 'hope.' Only facts and figures count. No one in their right mind will pay £2 for a bag of jelly beans when you can buy the same thing in Sainsbury for £1.20. I know I wouldn't. The only shops that can sell the same for more are those with traditional snob value and a royal endorsement. No doubt tins of plum tomatoes in Fortnum and Mason sell if they cost three times what they do in Waitrose. The only independent sweet shops that I know are likely to gain my business are those that will sell a niche product or/and one where you can see the products being made on-sight. Eg., the fudge shop in Cambridge. Perhaps you could look at the local population where you have set up. Are they mixed and contain lots of people from different cultural backgrounds? Perhaps you could start a line in 'alternative ' foreign confectionary that might appeal to the Asian, African or Eastern European community. Or sell traditional English chocolates and combine that with a chocolate themed coffee shop selling chocolates and chocolate cake. Something to draw in the punters where they can see a real incentive to buy from you than from the faceless supermarket. A few clove balls in a jar might not cut it.
Gob stoppers, Spangles, Aniseed Balls. Sweet Cigarettes, Sherbet. Flying saucers. Do you own a white mac jobby?
Goodbye small-fry! What were you actually selling to differentiate yourself from the real market? Chantenay carrots for the middle class? Junk carrots, unfit for consumption!! Small shops survive because they pretend to be there for the bourgeoisie. They name themselves "delicatessen". Fortnum & Mason of West Hampstead!! Goodbye small-fry, you ain't wrth the extra expense.
I used to have a shop. It's impossible to compete with the big boys on price so you need to offer something more, something different. Even so, I sympathise with the overheads of retailing these days and I personally wouldn't go for it again unless it was a mortgage with living accommodation in a picturesque rural area.
You need to be very creative to succeed and make a half-decent living now. | 2019-04-23T06:06:24 | https://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/supermarkets-put-small-shops-like-mine-out-of-business |
On the 17th – 20th of July 2013, Imperial Klub Golf at Lippo Karawaci was the host venue for the inaugural Jakarta Classic, an official Asian Development Tour event. The Asian Development Tour is a feeder competition to the Asian Tour, and the top three from the order of merit at the end of the season secure their playing rights to compete on the Asian Tour. The tournament is an ideal opportunity for local Indonesian professionals to compete against international professionals, and a chance to shine amongst the local golfing spotlight.
What was the inspiration behind the creation of the Jakarta Classic?
The motivation was to create another opportunity for local professionals to play amongst an international field. Indonesia already has the CIMB Niaga Masters and the Indonesian Open, events with very high standards where very few local players made the cut. An ADT event provides more of a level playing ground, and 16 local players made the cut whilst gaining valuable experience.
Can we look forward to a yearly Jakarta Classic ADT event?
Yes, for sure, hopefully in 2014 there will be two official Asian Development Tour events.
James Bowen of the United States was victorious in this inaugural event. He secured a lead at the top of the leader-board after a second round 66, and with back to back 70s, finished on -12 for a final score of 276. The first round leader from Chinese Taipei Chan Shih-chang finished strongly with a final round 68 to finish in second place, to recover from his disappointing second round. The Indonesian rally was led by Indonesia’s number one Rory Hie, who put to rest a disappointing first round score, with a final round of 70 for a -4 total at 284 and a tie for seventh.
The CIMB Niaga Masters was disappointing for Indonesia’s professionals with only a single player making the cut. 16 Indonesian players made the cut at the Jakarta Classic, with a special mention to Andik Mauludin finishing with a – 1 total of 287 and Benny Kasiadi who finished with an even par total of 288, both players featured near the top of the leader board throughout the week playing quality golf.
The win in Jakarta was the second of the season for James Bowen, after his previous victory earlier in the season in Malaysia at the PGM Sime Darby Harvard Masters. Bowen sits on top of the order of merit of the Asian Development Tour for now, with six more events to play on the playing calendar.
We caught up with the jubilant James Bowen after the final round, to reflect on his week at the Jakarta Classic going into the second half of the ADT season.
The Jakarta Classic is your second win on this year’s ADT, you must be very confident now of a top three finish and qualification for next year’s Asian Tour?
Yes, I am feeling great about my game right now. My goal at the start was to finish in the top three and I have put myself in a good position to achieve my goal come the end of the season.
You were top of the leader board since the second round, what was your game plan and focus for the final two rounds?
After the first two days I was putting very nicely, so I was focused on giving myself chances with greens in regulation and birdie putts. It all went to plan thankfully.
Where did you play your golf, before joining the Asian Development Tour this year?
I played on the mini-tours in the States for a couple of year: The E-Golf Tour and the Hooters Tour.
What was your primary motivation behind playing your golf in Asia?
To try something different and to see a different part of the world whilst doing what I love most in life, playing golf.
Playing on the ADT allows you all over Southeast Asia: Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. What is your favourite country so far and why?
I have really enjoyed all the countries so far. I am living in Bangkok at the moment, and Thailand is my favourite because of the food.
What advice can you give to young aspiring golfers dreaming of becoming professional golfers?
Never give up on your dreams! There will always be ups and downs in golf and when there are down moments, that is when you learn a lot about yourself, don’t give up!
Congratulations to James Bowen for his victory at the inaugural Jakarta Classic, we can all look forward to more exciting ADT events in Indonesia in the future. | 2019-04-21T02:47:13 | http://golfindonesia.biz/james-bowen-wins-the-inaugural-jakarta-classic/ |

You were so sick this day. I got a text from J on my way down to visit you that weekend – April 2, 2011 actually – that you were not feeling well. When we got there you had a fever, a runny nose and every time you coughed, it sounded like your lungs were going to come up. Anywhere you went that day, the humidifier followed (as you can see). Both J and E alternated being on the phone with the doctor’s office and the pharmacy until they finally got something called in for you and E went to pick it up. This picture is one of the many times you passed out that day.
What I remember most from this particular sick day was that I got to rock you to sleep. You would get fussy and we’d know it was a sign you were tired – thanks to being really sick, you hadn’t slept much through the night. So a couple of times when that happened, I took you into your room, wrapped you in a blanket and sat in the rocking chair in the corner of the room and just rocked you until you zonked out. You didn’t stay asleep too long – maybe 30 minutes each time. You’d get really hot and start sweating your fever out and wake yourself up. And even though I hated that you were sick, I was glad I got to be of some comfort to you.
I never got the “rocking you to sleep in the middle of the night” experience. Of course, that particular experience is accompanied by being woken up in the middle of the night in the first place which I’m sure isn’t so pleasant, but I still wanted to do it. Pop-pop 3 always told me that he loved getting up with me in the middle of the night when I was a baby. Alone time, just the two of us. Making me feel comfortable and safe and loved enough that I would be lulled back into sleep. It always seemed like such a beautiful bonding time and I’d always wanted to have it with you. Any time I stayed the weekend, The B’s would always let me put you to bed or do your late night feeding, and I loved it. I never got to use the rocking chair until this day though. The sickness was no fun, but I’ll take any opportunity I can to hold you while you’re still small enough. That certainly hasn’t changed.
Actually, you were quite the trouper that day. A couple of naps, a dose of medicine and you were ready to play! This was right after you’d gotten the hang of crawling, so you were all over the place. You did what I like to call “the army crawl” – you used your elbows and your feet to push yourself forward, no knee action whatsoever. Though I found out later that the “army crawl” is actually rather popular amongst babies learning to crawl, it was the first time I’d ever seen any baby do that. I thought it was hilarious. I got on the floor and army crawled with you. We played your toys. Aside from the bright red nose and the horrible coughs, you couldn’t even tell you were sick.
Of course, you’ve gotten sick since then. I’ve seen you on occasion with a cold or a runny nose, and when you’re sick and I’m not there, J will text me with updates on how you’re doing. I always tell her to give you kisses from me and I have no doubt that she does it. But that day was my first Little Man Sick Day experience. I can’t say I’m a huge fan. Well, aside from getting to take care of you, of course. But I know you’d rather get better, and I want what you want. Because I love you, in sickness and in health.
But for future reference, I’ll rock you to sleep any day you want me to, no matter how big you get. | 2019-04-18T13:21:07 | https://letterstolittleman.com/2012/04/02/little-man-takes-a-sick-day/ |

Are usually Advanced Location (AP) Classes Very important to College Entry?
Students should no less than consider taking several AP classes in their junior or senior years of high school graduation. This will be strongly encouraged generally in most schools regarding college entry. College willingness lags those types of students which only acquire the advised core lessons. Among ACT-tested high school graduation graduates country wide who got the central curriculum, only about a next (26%) met all four of the particular ACT School Readiness Criteria in Language, math, studying and research.
AP courses may help students a lot more with the particular transition from high school graduation to college and in addition count a lot more toward school admission. The thought of college willingness puts the give attention to preparing students to ensure success at college-level work as opposed to just rewarding eligibility specifications.
Advanced location courses are created to match the information of entry-level school courses. It is a very strenuous curriculum together with high anticipations. AP classes are recommended but offer you students the ability to just work at a initial year school level. National tests are used in May as well as the higher a student scores around the test, the harder useful in which score will probably be for school admission.
AP classes are often demanding, and demand a certain amount of maturity and also dedication regarding students to ensure success. AP courses can be obtained in greater than 30 subject matter, although its not all classes can be purchased in all large schools. The classes are often regarded as being comparable together with college-level specifications. AP classes are weighted.
Superior placement lessons are challenging, but thus is school. Thus, through such courses you might be more all set than lots of your peers to deal with college-level training course work. AP courses usually are not perfect both. A variety of schools are determined to remove AP classes. AP classes are tough, but they will really get ready students regarding college simply by sharpening their particular writing, study and thinking skills.
AP classes are identified and valued for quality, degree and rigor. AP classes are recognized by using an international schedule. They can demonstrate the academic readiness and willingness for school courses. In addition they show any students’ determination to concern themselves.
Colleges fluctuate in where did they view AP lessons, but generally, college admissions representatives go through the level regarding classes used high school as well as the grades acquired, in relation together. Colleges generally consider AP classes favorably when coming up with admissions selections.
Colleges typically recognize AP and also IB courses as being on any par, although they may be generally more knowledgeable about the AP program. The level to which usually colleges gives credit or perhaps placement may differ among universities, but generally should they accept AP results (typically a report of no less than 3), chances are they also acknowledge IB results (typically a report of no less than 5).
In order to impress any college admissions committee, take several AP lessons. | 2019-04-21T15:17:15 | http://www.educationmagazine.us/college/are-usually-advanced-location-ap-classes-very-important-to-college-entry.html |
Amid the flurry brought about the release of Pokémon Go in July, there were rumors that a similar game might be expected to be based on the wizarding world of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series. Specifically, the game was envisioned as a timely tie-in for the upcoming “Harry Potter” spinoff film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” But alas, they were just that: rumors.
However, it turns out that there’s actually going to be a tie-in game for “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” just not a location-based augmented-reality game like Pokémon Go.
As announced by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the game is called Fantastic Beasts: Cases from the Wizarding World, and it’s a hidden object game inspired by the “Harry Potter” films as well as “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” Essentially, the game will have players finding fantastic beasts and solving cases to keep them from harm.
Developed by Mediatonic, in partnership with WB Games San Francisco, Fantastic Beasts: Cases From The Wizarding World enables players to delve into the wizarding world as new recruits for the Ministry of Magic, visiting familiar locations like the Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade while exploring all-new magical mysteries. By discovering hidden objects, analyzing evidence, casting spells and brewing potions, players investigate unexplained happenings to uncover and protect the magical creatures at the center of every mysterious case … Players are able to share their wizarding world experience with friends and fellow recruits by logging into Facebook to see each other’s progress and lend a helping hand.
Based on the “Harry Potter” spinoff book of the same name, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” stars Eddie Redmayne as a wizard who finds himself in search of his magical creatures after they are accidentally set loose in 1926 New York.
As a fan of the “Harry Potter” books and films, and as someone who enjoyed the “Fantastic Beasts” book, I’m looking forward to watching the upcoming film and perhaps puzzling over the cases in its tie-in game. | 2019-04-21T10:35:41 | https://appadvice.com/post/fantastic-beasts-from-harry-potter-soon-youll-find-them-in-an-ios-game/724518 |

Brokenness comes in many forms: illness, oppression, sin, abuse, guilt, strained or broken relationships, a weary world. In God we can find healing, peace, wholeness and unconditional love.
This short, informal service enables us to quietly explore our brokenness and gain a greater understanding of God’s love for us.
We meet every third Sunday of the month at 4pm in the small chapel. All are welcome.
And so we must let go of our neurotic search for quick cures of personality defects and the quest for instant wholeness.
God is changing us from glory into glory, it is true.
In addition to this service we also offer pastoral support to individuals or families. Because there are times when we may value the prayers of others and a new sense of God’s love and care in our lives, services that recognise this need can be arranged.

Should Physical Education in schools be compulsory?
Participation in sport promotes health.
Physical Education is an important part of holistic schooling.
School sport is about discovering gifts.
The quest for national sporting achievement begins in schools.
Without school support, sports will collapse.
If not forced to exercise in youth, many will never think to do it in adulthood.
Sport helps to forge character.
Participation in sport promotes health. Government is, or should be, concerned with the health of its citizens. Encouraging physical activity in the young through compulsory PE fights child obesity and contributes to forming lifelong habits of exercise. This doesn’t have to be through traditional team sports; increasingly schools are able to offer exercise in the form of swimming, gymnastics, dance, weight training, use of a multigym, aerobics, etc.
Students should be allowed a choice. Lots of children don’t want to do this. If their parents agree, why should they be forced to (or forced to lie in producing a sick note)? It is different from any other lesson – it is about what one does with one’s body. In any case, it is a red herring to say that PE makes any serious difference to people’s health. There are plenty of more effective ways of ensuring a healthy population than pushing children round a freezing sports pitch once a week; not least would be addressing the disgusting diets our young have today, and encouraging walking or cycling to school rather than total reliance on the car.
Sport is a waste of school time and resources. One or two PE lessons a week make very little difference to an individual’s health – but a huge difference to a school’s budget. It creates a whole extra department in schools, wasting a great deal of money and time that could be better spent on academic lessons. It also requires schools buildings to be surrounded by a large amount of land for playing fields, making it prohibitively expensive to build new schools in urban areas. The quality of teaching is low, as students are taught in huge classes. On the other hand, the quality of teaching and of equipment goes up if there are fewer (but keener) students taking the subject. Frankly, given the average current pupil-teacher ration, the subject is not merely without positive purpose – it may be dangerous to students who are normally not properly supervised.
The quest for national sporting achievement begins in schools. If we don’t have compulsory PE, it is much harder to pick out athletes to represent our country on a wider stage. Even with a ‘sports academy’ model run along Australian lines, it’s much easier to find suitable individuals with a full sports program in every school. State education is not just about aiding the individual – it’s also about the state getting a good return on its investment – in a well-educated populace to drive business and entrepreneurialism etc. This applies equally in sports, too.
Schools aren’t supposed to be about fostering achievers for the state – that smacks of Stalinism. Schools should be tailored to the individual – if the individual student doesn’t want to participate in sports, they shouldn’t have to. If we allowed such national aims to be considered in schools, would we consent to humiliation of those that did badly in maths lessons, to encourage their achievement in maths (and thus business skills?) Of course not. But we allow that in PE.
Without school support, sports will collapse. If full classes aren’t made up, then team activities will end by sheer lack of numbers, no matter if several very talented individuals are at the school (or even potentially talented – they’ll never know without the program). If voluntary take-up of sport in schools is too low, then schools will shut down PE programmes so that there is no choice at all. Not everyone is academic: why deprive those talented sports students of their one chance to shine?
Forcing children that don’t want to play to make up teams in order to allow others to shine smacks of rigid education from a bygone era. In any case, in an increasingly litigious age, a compulsory rather than voluntary sports program is a liability. More and more schools are avoiding the very team games (e.g. rugby, soccer, hockey, football) the proposition discusses here, due to the (realistic) fear of lawsuits.
Sport helps to forge character. Playing team sports builds character and encourages students to work with others. It teaches children how to win and lose with good grace and builds a strong school spirit through competition with other institutions. It is often the experience of playing on a team together which builds the strongest friendships at school, which endure for years afterwards.
Many say the same benefits derive from the common endurance of prison… In particular, injuries sustained through school sport and the psychological trauma of being bullied for sporting ineptitude can mark people for years after they have left school. Teamwork can be better developed through music, drama, community projects, etc. without the need to encourage an ultra-competitive ethos.
It is a red herring to say that PE makes any serious difference to people's health. There are plenty of more effective ways of ensuring a healthy population than pushing children round a freezing sports pitch once a week; not least would be addressing the disgusting diets our young have today, and encouraging walking or cycling to school rather than total reliance on the car. Both methods would involve promoting a healthy lifestyle without forcing the participation in unpopular physical education classes that do little for one's education.
Physical education helps to forge character and the mutual respect required to succeed in an adult environment. Playing team sports builds character and encourages students to work with others, as they would be expected to do in most business or sporting environments. Sport teaches children how to win and lose with good grace and builds a strong school spirit through competition with other institutions. It is invaluable to imbue with children the delicate balance between a competitive rivalry that encourages effort and, on the other hand, losing the fairness and respect required to enjoy sport. It is often the experience of playing on a team together which builds the strongest friendships at school, which endure for years afterwards. As was noted in a report to the European Parliament, 'PE...helps children learn to respect and value their own bodies and abilities, and those of others'. Compulsory physical education is the only means by which all children can be forced to appreciate such advantages. Hardman, K. (2007). Current situation and prospects for physical education in the European Union. European Parliament.
Physical education undermines one's character as much as it strengthens and forges it. For every future athlete who grows in stature as he becomes comfortable in a team environment, there are a number of academic students who are forced weekly to cope with the brutality and criticisms of others more gifted at specific sports. Values like respect are not taught on a football field, any glance at a professional football match leads inexorably to that conclusion. Furthermore, learning about teamwork and co-operation no longer requires hours spent playing sport; they can be taught just as accurately and effectively in a classroom through music, drama, community projects, etc. without the need to encourage an ultra-competitive ethos.
Compulsory PE lessons can be treated in the same manner an ordinary educational class is treated; if the student refuses to participate and therefore does not do their work, they are punished with extra work of that same class. In this case, that would necessitate added physical education exercises at a later date or immediately after the class. The excuse that the student does not wish to participate in the class should be seen as no different to if it were stated during a maths or English class, where it would not be accepted. The fact that physical education is qualitatively different to those classes is irrespective; once deemed a compulsory subject, and therefore beneficial, it must be accepted and completed.
The intention of advocating a healthy lifestyle and sports is lost if there is a punishment attached to the class. Furthermore, to expect all students to participate in a class that is so overtly embarrassing to the weaker athletes is almost state-sanctioned bullying. In a maths class, the working and answers of the weakest students are not paraded in front of the class for all to see, and if they try to stop this, kept behind for extra work. It is demonstrably unfair to ask students, fragile about their appearance as it is, to compete physically with classmates. It should be encouraged, but maintain voluntary for those who wish to do so. The others can still be taught about healthy living and exercise without being dragged into physical exertion.
We acknowledge the right of individuals (or their parents) to control their own bodies – when they have an operation, where they go, what they do. Why is this any different? This discussion should be held in the real world: students actually aren’t compelled to attend PE classes, as ‘sick notes’ are produced with alarming regularity by parents complicit in their child’s wish to avoid this lesson. The aim of ‘compulsory PE’ isn’t being fulfilled at present in any case, and greater efforts to enforce it will only result in more deceit, or children missing school for the entire day – or, in the most extreme cases, being withdrawn from state education by parents unwilling to allow their children to be forced into something they don’t wish to do. Instead, we should simply abandon the whole exercise and allow PE to become voluntary. The UNESCO charter stresses the right to PE, and was addressed to nations that failed to provide it at all – it was not meant to suggest that individuals should be compelled to do it in nations that do. UNESCO. (1945, November 16). Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. Retrieved May 18, 2011.
If not forced to exercise in youth, many will never think to do it in adulthood. This is no idle question: obesity in the UK is rising rapidly and Dr. David Haslam believes schools are part of the problem. Individuals have no right to 'choice' about this: they're being compelled to attend school, to take the lessons the state says they should take. The state doesn't just impose a curricular compulsion, since physical attendance is forced – so there’s nothing unique in principle about enforced PE. Indeed, what can be more important as an aim for our schools than to encourage public health? It is in recognition of that fact, that in 1978 UNESCO recognised PE as ‘as essential element of lifelong education.’ If PE is made voluntary, it seems obvious that many students – against their long term interests, and the long term interests of society – will choose not to. That will damage this essential element of education, and damage public health. It is true that the health of society is not perfect even with compulsory PE – but how much worse might it be without it? Batty, D. (2008, February 21). Schools make children more obese, leading doctor says. Retrieved May 18, 2011 UNESCO. (1978, November 21). International Charter of Physical Education and Sport. Retrieved May 18, 2011, from United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Students should be allowed a choice with relation to their school subjects, including physical education. Children know, often from early ages, what they want to do with their life from what subjects they enjoy and those they don't. Lots of children don't want to do physical education; it is different from any other lesson – it is about what one does with one’s body. For those not confident about their bodies, why should they be forced to go through the embarrassment and stress of a PE class when they could be spending the time most constructively and happily in a classroom? Furthermore, and on the flip side, those who do enjoy PE will still be able to take the class and in an environment surrounded by those who feel similarly. Athletes will no longer be held back by those who force teachers to re-iterate instructions or rules.
Students, unaware of the subjects that will most benefit them in the competitive work environment, have no such right to choose all their subjects at school. Many schools offer students a restricted right to choose subjects at school, but only those which offer comparative advantages. Certain subjects like, in the Western world, English, maths, science and physical education, are not voluntary because they offer advantages to all that form a foundation necessary to excel in other areas. If students were given the right to choose all their subjects, few would do the more difficult subjects like science and maths that, whilst requiring more effort, are more rewarding for society as a whole, and the students themselves.
A compulsory rather than voluntary sports program is a risk for both students and schools. More and more schools are avoiding team games (e.g. rugby, soccer, hockey, football) for the (realistic) fear of lawsuits when injuries and disputes occur. In one example, a defendant was awarded £100,000 by the school of a student who tackled dangerously and caused both neck and ligament injuries to his opponent opponent. Furthermore, injuries sustained through school sport and the psychological trauma of being bullied for sporting ineptitude can mark people for years after they have left school. Furthermore, psychological injuries occur to those who would not otherwise do sport if not forced, these injuries tend to be the longest and most damaging. Voluntary physical education would avoid such traumatic episodes. BBC News (2001, August 8). Rugby injury wins £100,000 damages. Retrieved May 18, 2011.
Compulsory physical education does not risk unnecessary and costly injury. Injuries that occur in physical education are firstly more advisable than injuries that occur in the classroom or playground for PE teachers tend to be trained in first-aid. Furthermore, the psychological bullying occurring in physical education classes is only a small subset of bullying that is rife among schools as a whole. The prowess, or lack of it, that leads to bullying in PE classes is no different to the lack of 'prowess' in looks, or name, or spelling that will drive bullying in other educational environments.
Successful sporting nations realise that sports, like any other specialised subjects, are best taught to selected groups that display both talent and interest in the field – forcing all to compete holds back the able and punishes the less able. The right way to go is to liberate those that don’t want to participate, and allow those that are extremely keen to go to academies that focus their talents more efficiently than a regular school ever could. Furthermore, our children are burdened enough in schools already, especially at the older end of the system, with multiple examinations. PE simply adds, needlessly, to this hectic schedule.
Sport is different to, say Latin – it encompasses life choices (most importantly, a concern for physical fitness, but also working in a team etc.) that ought to be encouraged in all students. As Ken Hardman argues, ‘physical education makes a unique contribution to the education of all pupils’. Extra classes for interested students can take place separately, and often do in the form of fixtures with other schools, championships etc. Sport shouldn’t be seen as an alternative to academia, an either/or – it should be a part of every student’s life in addition to their other studies. If the opposition is correct about the heavy workload involved in schools, then students are that much more likely not to choose PE in an environment where it is voluntary, and the quality of our children’s health will be even worse. Much better to keep being healthy compulsory, and reform the pressures elsewhere in the curriculum. Hardman, K. (2007). Current situation and prospects for physical education in the European Union. European Parliament.
Sport is a waste of school time and resources. One or two PE lessons a week make very little difference to an individual's health– but a huge difference to a school’s budget. It creates a whole extra department in schools, wasting a great deal of money and time that could be better spent on academic lessons It also requires schools buildings to be surrounded by a large amount of land for playing fields, making it prohibitively expensive to build new schools in urban areas. The quality of teaching is low, as students are taught in huge classes. On the other hand, the quality of teaching and of equipment goes up if there are fewer (but keener) students taking the subject. One Californian student asked to comment stated PE ‘doesn’t help me in any way...it’s really a waste of time. I don’t learn anything here.’ Active Living Research. (2007). Active Education: Physical Education, Physical Activity and Academic Performance. San Diego. Marshall, J., & Hardman, K. (2000). The State and Status of Physical Education in Schools in International Context. European Physical Education Review, 203-229.
Physical Education is an important part of holistic schooling. PE is an aspect of school being about more than just book learning – it is about educating the whole person, a holistic education that betters us in an all-round sense, rather than a merely academic experience. Some aspects of physical education are vital for future wellbeing, e.g. being able to swim, learning to lift heavy weights safely. Furthermore, ‘kids who are more physically active tend to perform better academically’. Arguments about cost seem petty when compared to this aim – and also misguided, since PE departments would continue to exist to serve those that chose to study PE voluntarily, even if the subject were no longer to be compulsory. Arguments about the size of classes may well be correct, but these suggest better funding for PE rather than abandonment of the commitment to public health. Active Living Research. (2007). Active Education: Physical Education, Physical Activity and Academic Performance. San Diego.
PE Is humiliating as well as unnecessary, Now I´m not an expert on this topic, but isn´t Hauling around a heavy backpack all day enough?
“Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind…” as quoted by famous American writer Sylvia Plath. I think this quote justifies my point of argument that physical education should not at all be compulsory in school…. | 2019-04-20T18:24:03 | https://debatewise.org/debates/2726-physical-education-compulsory/ |

I am very excited to bring you the second interview this week with a debut YA author. Today's guest, Leah Cypess, is a fellow member of the class of 2k10, and her new release, Mistwood, comes out today!
The Shifter is an immortal creature bound by an ancient spell to protect the kings of Samorna. When the realm is peaceful, she retreats to the Mistwood. But when she is needed she always comes.
Mistwood has been getting amazing reviews, including a starred review from Kirkus that called it "astonishing and inspiring." And if you know anything about Kirkus, you know they're a pretty tough audience.
"Edge-of-the-chair reading, with enemies and betrayal at every turn!"
"Intriguing and illusive...with an incredibly executed twist that fits like that very last, perfect puzzle piece. A one-sitting novel!"
"An unusual, suspenseful fantasy that is propelled by well-placed clues."
Leah was kind enough to take time out of her busy pre-release schedule to answer my Mostly Debut Author interview questions. It's been a while since you've seen them, since I ask an abbreviated list for the Girlfriends' Cyber Circuit. I'd forgotten some of them!
Q. What's been your biggest surprise/thrill about your first release?
The fact that it’s happening! I have wanted to be a writer for so long, and have been seriously submitting manuscripts for so many years, that I was really starting to think it never would. I had imagined being told, “We want to publish your book!” so many times that when I finally did get an offer, it felt like it wasn’t real. And incredibly, it was with one of the imprints I have always most wanted to work with.
Hard to say I’d want to be any of them… I’m kind of tough on my characters. :) I’ll have to choose Isabel, though; in a way, I feel like I was inhabiting her life when I was writing her.
Q. Conversely, which of your characters would you most like to bring to life in our world (maybe as a best friend or much, much more ;-) ?
Q. Same two questions, but use examples from another author's work (including television/movies/theatre)?
I would love to be Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Walking around all little and fragile-looking, and then someone starts up with you and WHAM! As for a best friend, Kaylee from Firefly would be an awesome person to hang out with.
Hmm, maybe I should just ask Joss Whedon if he would write my life for me.
I’m intermittently working on a time-travel book that is giving me a lot of trouble, and I would love for Connie Willis to come fix all its problems for me. Because I’m sure she could, in about three seconds.
I have a terrible fear of flying. It’s unfortunate, because I really like being in faraway places, and usually you have to fly to get to them.
Q. Let's say there's a TV show, movie, or recording artist that has a cult of you. Which is it? (i.e., what do you like that no one else you know likes)?
Q. If you had a free day with no responsibilities and your only mission was to enjoy yourself, what would you do?
Q. If you could write in a totally different genre than your current one, which would you choose?
There’s nothing stopping me from writing in a totally different genre than my current one – in fact, I am currently working on a straight historical novel set in the 16th century. Of course, I have been working on it for the past 10 years and probably will be working on it for the next 10 years, because that kind of intensive research is hard to find time for. I will finish it someday, though!
Q. What are you working on now, and what new releases can we expect to see from you down the road?
Q. The forest plays an iconic role in MISTWOOD, as it does in many fantasies. Why do you think forests evoke such strong feelings of magic and mystery? What is it about them that humans simultaneously desire and fear?
I grew up going to summer camp in the Catskills, and I always noticed the difference between the forest during the day and during the night. During the day, the forest was a beautiful place in which to have adventures; I used to sneak off from scheduled activities and go hiking alone (NOT recommended; I’m lucky I never got seriously injured when no one had any idea where I was). But at night, walking back from campfires, the forest was seriously scary. The trees always seemed hostile and menacing, like they didn’t want us there.
Q. I noticed on your website that you spent some time drawing fantasy scenes during law school classes. :-) Do you still draw in your spare time, and if so, do you find that it helps your writing?
Giant congrats to Leah on her wonderful debut! I can't wait for my copy to arrive in the mail--it better be here when I get back from RT on Saturday.
Speaking of which, I generally don't blog when I'm at conventions (too exhausted), so if you want to see what I'm doing, check out my full RT schedule, or follow me on Twitter. Hope to see some of you there!
Today's guest on the Girlfriends' Cyber Circuit is Jessica Brody, author of The Karma Club, her debut YA novel!
Seriously, don't you want to read the book from the title alone? But wait, there's much, much more! Keep reading for all things Karma Club, including a very fun book trailer and your chance to win one of four Flip Phones!
Madison Kasparkova always thought she understood how Karma works. Do good things and you'll be rewarded, do something bad and Karma will make sure you get what you deserve. But when Maddy’s boyfriend cheats on her, nothing bad comes his way. That’s why Maddy starts the Karma Club, to clean up the messes that the universe has left behind and get back at the people who have wronged them. Sometimes, though, it isn’t wise to meddle with the universe. It turns out Karma often has plans of its own.
"Written with wit and panache. Readers will have fun with this one, and it might make them think a little, too."
"A well-paced comedy, with a nice balance of cinematic physical humor and genuine teen emotions."
Check out this trailer and play "spot the celebrity"!
To celebrate the release of The Karma Club on April 27, Jessica is giving away FOUR Flip Video Cameras (as well as TONS of other cool prizes!) on her site. Visit her website for all the details and to enter to win!
Jessica Brody is the author of two books for adults. The Karma Club is her first book for teens. She currently lives in Los Angeles, California where she is working on her next novel. Despite what some people from her high school might claim, she has never sought revenge on an ex-boyfriend. Visit her online at: www.jessicabrody.com.
And now...my interview with Jessica!
I suppose I’d have to choose Maddy from The Karma Club. Although I don’t envy her for having to deal with a cheating boyfriend and the stuck-up queen Bee who stole him. But she does have some very awesome friends to support her. And then there’s that new guy in the picture who’s pretty freaking cute. I wouldn’t mind hanging out with him for an afternoon!
Well, I haven’t done it yet, but next month I’m scheduled to go “under cover” at a fast food restaurant. In the book I’m writing now (52 Reasons to Hate My Father), a teen heiress is forced to work at a fast food restaurant and since I’ve never worked at one, I need to get to find out what it’s like. My friend owns a Taco John’s restaurant and he’s bringing me as a new employee so that I can be trained like it’s my first day. I told him not to tell any of the other employees what I was doing so I could get the “real experience.” I’ve never been more excited to make tacos! But what I’m really looking forward to is working the drive-thru. I’ve always wanted to wear one of those headsets. “Welcome to Taco Johns, can I take you order?” How did I do?
Oh that’s easy. Cheesy, bubble-gummy, teeny-bopper pop music. I love it to death! Especially the stuff from the UK. They do pop music better than anyone! I have stuff that would make your teeth hurt! My husband can’t stand any of the music I listen to. When asked in an interview once, what’s his least favorite type of music, he replied, “Whatever is in my wife’s CD player at the moment.” Haha! It’s the biggest joke between us!
I don’t know if I’d call it a phobia, per se, but I have this really weird thing about bones. I’m totally squeamish about them. No one can crack any bones around me. And I can’t have my bones touched. My hip bone is the worst. I don’t even like touching it! It’s very odd. I think something terrible must have happened to me (and my bones) in a past life!
Thanks to Jessica for taking the time to answer my questions, and big congrats on your teen debut!
Next week on the Girlfriends' Cyber Circuit tour is...*gulp*...me. I haven't decided if I'm going to "tour myself" and answer my own questions. I've never thought of any answers!
A convention, two bookstores, and a red-velvet-draped bar.

Today on the Girlfriends' Cyber Circuit is the debut author of a very highly anticipated book, The Cinderella Society. I present to you...Kay Cassidy!
But before my interview with Kay, let's learn a little about her novel, shall we?
What's a girl to do when the glass slipper fits, but she doesn't want to wear it anymore?
Sixteen year old Jess Parker has always been an outsider. So when she receives an invitation to join The Cinderella Society, a secret society of the most popular girls in school, it's like something out of a fairy tale. Swept up by the Cindys' magical world of makeovers, and catching the eye of her Prince Charming, Jess feels like she's finally found her chance to fit in.
Then the Wickeds--led by Jess's arch-enemy--begin targeting innocent girls in their war against the Cindys, and Jess discovers there's more to being a Cindy than reinventing yourself on the outside. She has unknowingly become part of a centuries-old battle of good vs. evil, and now the Cindys in charge need Jess for a mission that could change everything. Overwhelmed, Jess wonders if The Cinderella Society made a mistake in choosing her.
Is it a coincidence her new boyfriend doesn't want to be seen with her in public? And is this glamorous, secret life even what she wants, or will she risk her own happy ending to live up to the expectations of her new sisters?
I opened the card, my hands trembling in dread and the faint remnants of what I used to call hope, as a tiny silver high-heel pin bounced into my hand.
Your presence is requested at The Grind.
Kay Cassidy is the author of teen fiction she wishes was based on her real life. She is the founder of the national Great Scavenger Hunt Contest(tm) reading program for kids and teens and the host of the inspirational Living Your Five(tm) web project. In her free time, she enjoys yoga, movies, music, and reading. Lots and lots of reading. She hopes her debut YA novel, THE CINDERELLA SOCIETY (April 13, Egmont), will help girls embrace their inner Cindy.
Probably Cammie from Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series. The spy school world is completely amazing to me – how cool would that be??
As much as I adore Jess and Ryan in The Cinderella Society, I would actually want to bring Heather to life. I just want to give her a big hug and tell her everything is going to be okay.
I can't think of a weird tidbit, but I did incorporate some mind-blowing stats about girls and body image. The statistics broke my heart.
Probably J. K. Rowling. And really, it wouldn't even be collaboration I was after. I would just love to chat with her about the world of Harry Potter and how it looks in her mind.
Thanks to Kay for stopping by, and congrats on the debut!
Now everyone, go out and find your inner Cindy!
What do you think? I'm not normally a huge fan of trailers (I don't even like music videos anymore because they often skew my perception of the songs, a perception that tends to be personal and sometimes, er, quirky), but I really like this one. Then again, it is possible that I am ever so slightly biased.
Shade comes out May 4, two weeks from tomorrow. *heart attack* To quote from the book, "Get the defibrillator!"
I'm excited to report two, highly related SHADE-y developments.
My first solo signing of Shade will be Sunday, May 2, 3-5pm, at Constellation Books, a lovely independent bookstore not far from chez Jeri (BTW, that's pronounced "shay jher-EEE") in Reisterstown, MD, pictured here.
I don't know who the guy in the vest is. Presumably a public safety official of some sort. But no worries--it's a lovely neighborhood in a lovely town. If you're familiar with Reisterstown but not with Constellation Books, it's across from Java Mamma's and on the same side of the street as the Cow, which, according to its Facebook fan page, rocks.
Anyway, there will be a reading, Q&A, and most important, baked goods (a redundant phrase if there ever was one) from Starry Night Bakery, the coffee house where I spend every Wednesday with my local writer friends. I promise to read a G-rated selection from Shade, and Constellation has a fabulous children's section, so bring the whole family!
So what's in it for the rest of you, who can't make it to Reisterstown? If you order your copy of Shade from Constellation Books, at any time before or after the launch party, I will sign it for you. If you order it before the launch party, obviously, I will sign it that day and it will be shipped out the following day--the day before the official release date.
You'll be supporting a wonderful independent bookstore. Y'all know the importance of that.
You'll get an autographed book, personalized if you like.
You might even get it sooner than if you ordered from an online bookseller, who probably won't be shipping until May 4.
It's not just win-win, it's full of win!
To get your signed copy of Shade, either call the bookstore at 410-833-5151, or place your order online, and when you get to the order page, note in the comments if you want it personalized. Otherwise it'll just be a plain old autographed first printing, suitable for future eBay transactions.
I'm off to spend a three-day weekend finishing the rough draft of Shift. Wish me luck! No, wait, I have plenty of that. Wish me caffeine and discipline!
Fantabulous news! I'm now free to announce that in the last two months, my amazing agency (Curtis Brown, Ltd.) has sold the French, Spanish, and German rights to Wicked Game, which was first published in May 2008. Its sequel, Bad to the Bone (originally published May 2009) will also be translated into French and German.
I'm tickled beyond belief at these first foreign sales for this series. I can't wait to see the new titles and covers, and how some of the (very colloquially American English) lines in these books will be translated.
The butterflies in my stomach vomit on each other's wings.
Maybe he was de-cockinated in a tragic vamp-f***ing accident.
Good luck with that, foreign publishers!
Bragelonne will be publishing Wicked Game and Bad to the Bone in French, within 18 and 24 months, respectively (hopefully sooner).
Versatil will be publishing Wicked Game in Spanish (not sure of dates yet), with an option on Bad to the Bone.
Lübbe will publish Wicked Game and Bad to the Bone in German, within 24 and 30 months, respectively.
I will be sure to share covers as soon as I see them. Yay, Ciara! Go show "Old Europe" a good time!
I'm back! Okay, I didn't actually go anywhere, but I'm trying like crazy to finish a rough draft of Shift ASAP so my critique partners have time to read it and give me feedback in the next month so that I can rewrite it and give my editor a second draft instead of a crappy first draft ("crappy first draft" is a redundant phrase).
To demonstrate the importance of that process, I'm writing a series of guest blog posts at TeenReads.com, where you can get a behind-the-scenes peek at the creation of Shade. The first installment went up last week, called "Putting the Shade in Shade."
1. Facebook fan page - I'll draw a name at 5pm Friday from the members of the page to win a signed final copy of the hardcover book. All you have to do is become a fan! Beyond giving you a chance to win a free book, the fan page is your best bet for hearing the latest on my contests, news, and events.
2. Class of 2k10 April giveaway - Comment to win a signed ARC of Shade, a signed hardcover of Rhonda Hayter's super cute middle-grade debut, The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams, and much more!
3. Rosemary Clement-Moore's Nothing But Nets giveaway - To celebrate the paperback release of her YA novel Highway to Hell, the always awesome Rosemary is giving away a ton of prizes, including a $100 gift Barnes & Noble certificate, an ARC of her next book, and many other author-donated prizes, including a hardcover copy of Shade. All you have to do to enter is donate to the United Nations Nothing But Nets campaign, to provide low-cost mosquito netting to malaria-vulnerable areas.
I hate to say this is an “important” book because it brings to mind words like – boring – lecture – preachy, and this book is none of those things, but I do think it is an important story to read. Not much is written about boys who suffer from abuse and the effect that has on their relationships.
Off to sleep now. Tomorrow I'll have a very exciting announcement about the WVMP Radio vampire series! | 2019-04-23T12:30:23 | http://blog.jerismithready.com/2010/04/ |
Welcome to Pet Travel Tales! Hope you came bearing treats. The dog takes anything from veggies and fruit to traditional doggie treats. Or eggs, or meat. Or toys. The human is easily appeased with coffee.
We believe that humans and pets make for wonderful travel companions and lead to epic travel tales, hence this blog! Ares the Dog and the human(s) he is overlord to have been traveling together for a long time. Years! Which means practically forever for a dog.
As his human later found out, traveling with Ares comes with great difficulties. No, the dog is a pleasure on the road, but finding a place to stay with a huge dog like this playful White Swiss Shepherd? Not so much. We’ll explore pet friendly hotels, things to do when you travel with your pet, and hopefully get together a valuable list of pet friendly travel ideas.
For those times when you have to leave your pet behind, we have our Pet-free travel section. You know, business trips, a well deserved break to just enjoy yourself. Yeah, those human-only trips that will make you feel guilty for a long, long time. Especially if your dog gets a little sick while you’re away! Either way, it happens, and we want to explore the pleasure, the worry, and yes, the shattering guilt of traveling without your furry friend.
We welcome comments, tips, personal experiences, and recommendations. First because we’re interested, second because we both love the attention. Ares mostly in the form of petting and treats, his human in the form of lots of traffic and interactions. Yup, marketer at heart, what can you do?
Read on to find out more about Ares the dog and his human, or, if this is introduction enough for you, just skip the pages and move on to the actual blog.
Want to Get in Touch with the Pet Travel Tales Team?
We’re a friendly team at Pet Travel Tales so feel free to reach out whenever you need to. If you want to suggest us topics or approaches, places to explore, or anything travel or pet related, we welcome it. If you want to share your own experiences as a guest author, we’re happy to talk about that.
If you’re pet friendly hotel, coffee shot, playground, or beach and want us to check you out, we’re more than happy to chat with you. Regardless of the reason, feel free to use our contact details and drop us a line. | 2019-04-23T16:37:38 | https://pettraveltales.com/about/ |

Home>Green Home>What is an LED?
LED or light-emitting diode is a semiconductor light source. LEDs can be used as indicator lights in many electronic devices, and are increasingly being used for lighting. Introduced in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.
When a light-emitting diode is turned on, electrons recombine with electron holes within the diode, releasing energy in the form of light. This is called electroluminescence and the color of the light is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor. A LED is often small, and optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern. LEDs have many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. The initial cost of LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive, but are often less expensive in the long run when energy and replacement costs of other lighting technologies are factored in.
Light-emitting diodes are used in aviation lighting, automotive lighting (particularly brake lamps, turn signals and indicators) as well as in traffic signals. The compact size, the possibility of narrow bandwidth, switching speed, and extreme reliability of LEDs has allowed new text and video displays and sensors to be developed, while their high switching rates are also useful in advanced communications technology. Infrared LEDs are also used in the remote control units of many commercial products including televisions, DVD players, and other domestic appliances. | 2019-04-24T03:03:05 | http://www.lightopiaonline.com/what-is-an-led.html |
I took myself a longer break after the Connecting HR Africa session to process what I'd heard, get myself a sugar boost and generally reflect. So far this has been a very good conference and quite different to previous years. Last year at three days felt too much and too spread about. This year has been back at two days, and more seems to have taken place on the Exhibition floor in the mini theatres, which has meant much less walking about.
The next session was introduced by Mark Martin, CEO of Foundation Stones, talking about how we can get HR to the top table and keep it there. He outlined his perspective on how the world of work is changing and how that makes it more critical for organisations to win the hearts and minds of their employees.
The next speaker from PwC highlighted some of the changes he is seeing, for example a move to cloud based technology for HR systems, and the challenge was whether HR teams are ready for this. A lot of this is how HR is seen by the business, which is an issue I've experienced both extremes of in my career.
Amanda Williams from Quorn Foods took over at this point. She reiterated these points. The HR team need to understand the people in the business, and whether they are motivated for the future or any future change. She isn't sure that most HR teams do, and she feels they need to do this in order to be taken seriously by the business.
This was an interesting and important topic but none of the three speakers really had enough time to cover it in the depth it justified. All had useful thoughts to share but not enough opportunity to do so.
I've then moved over to another session about building the digital employee Fiona Mullan from Facebook. This talk was packed out and promised quite a lot as it's a brand almost everyone is familiar with.
Facebook are obviously a mobile first and digital first organisation, and Fiona said lots of people are surprised to learn they are even an employer of staff, such is the power of their customer facing brand.
Fiona qualified a lot of what she said by pointing out that Facebook is still a very young company, only 13 years old, and are growing and evolving all the time. As a result though of being staffed mainly by Millenials, it has been digital since the outset, and comfortable with little or no rules and policies, and with viral change and news spreading informally.
She also mentoined how frequent hackathons take place, and how idea implementation is encouraged without permission being sought. This is a very unique culture but a hint at what many organisations can expect as demographic change works its way through society and into most organisations.
I recognise this works for Facebook and some other organisations. But how easy is it to change existing organisations to work digitally and informally like this, without simply letting the organisation evolve through demographic change? That could take a decade or more, but can organisations change faster without employee turnover?
Fiona made another good point that people's Facebook profiles are used almost like a kind of company intranet, and therefore everyone brings their whole self to work with no secrets and it helps build better relationships. I can see this working but a lot of companies would shy away from it. I myself would have shied away from it just 3-4 years ago.
As Facebook grows though Fiona outlined some of the challenges they face in terms of taking on more staff and having to introduce things like career structures, so there are some tensions coming into the organisation. She encourages people to be honest, be themselves and be open to seeking and also receiving feedback. It's the concept of the Authentic Self.
This was an interesting talk also and, whilst very company specific, it contained many lessons for all organisations to think about.
And that's me almost done for today. I'm missing the keynote closing speeches for today because they are starting too late - a bugbear on this event annually - my train home is 5 minutes past every hour and Clive Woodward finishes at 6pm. I'd never make the 6.05 train at New Street so would have to get the 7.05 train and get home after 8pm and miss my youngest daughter go to bed. Can this event finish earlier in future years? | 2019-04-23T12:28:26 | http://hrtriathlete.blogspot.com/2017/01/hrdsummit17-blog-4.html |

So who are The Wallich?
We are a team of more than 400 dedicated people who strive to make life better for those who are experiencing homelessness.
We have been providing accommodation and support services for homeless people since 1978, starting with a 20-bed hostel in Cardiff and expanding to a multi-project agency working in mostly all Local Authorities in Wales. We specialise in providing services for people with multiple, complex needs; people who, because of their high support needs, are often excluded from other services and have difficulty in accessing accommodation. The range of services The Wallich offers is as diverse as the client group we work with and the underlying aim is to ensure all people have access to support appropriate to their needs. Long term solutions, rather than short term fixes, are developed in partnership with the client.
Over 30 years’ experience of working with vulnerable people have resulted in working practices which have evolved into a unique and effective way of working with clients.
Skills to Pay the Bills supports people with an offending background to find work and prevent homelessness.
The project works with ex-offenders in Swansea to increase their employability and career options through further learning and industry visits. Some of those people supported by the project may have been out of work for some time or have complex support needs which mean they are less able to engage with standard employability programmes. As such, they may receive benefits sanctions more regularly which could exacerbate underlying issues and cause more problems – such as homelessness – in the long run.
The project is funded by the DWP Flexible Support Fund and administered by Job Centre Plus to help reduce barriers to people accessing employment.
Swansea Rough Sleepers Intervention Team provides an outreach service for street homeless people.
The team delivers humanitarian aid, support and advice to people that are sleeping rough or are vulnerably housed within Swansea.
Experienced staff support clients by providing humanitarian aid in the form of breakfast, hot drinks, sleeping bags, warm clothing, toiletries and help in locating further local provision throughout the day and evening. We also help to meet current needs by offering a wide range of advice and by facilitating access to the most appropriate, relevant and often specialist services. This will include housing advice, referrals to supported accommodation, benefit advice, referrals for all types of healthcare and referrals to substance misuse centres.
If you want to organise your OWN Shoebox Appeal for the homeless The Wallich have lots of information that can help you.
At this time of year, many people turn their thoughts towards those less fortunate and kindly donate shoeboxes, gifts, toiletries, food and other items to homeless people so they may be more comfortable for the winter or enjoy some Christmas goodwill.
To donate items through The Wallich, please contact a project in your local area to find out what they need and to check that they are able to accept your donation – visit the Our Projects page for contact details.
We have projects right across Wales delivering services that meet the needs of local communities. They vary in terms of the number and type of people they support. Whilst we do have storage space at many of our projects, we are often overwhelmed with donations at this time of year which can mean our space can fill up or run out pretty quickly – so it’s best to check before you start a collection.
In most circumstances, donations will need to be delivered but other arrangements may be made locally, at the discretion of the project manager.
Here are some top tips and things you’ll need to consider if you are planning to collect or donate shoexboes, Christmas gifts, rucksacks, food or clothing for homeless people.
This type of donation would be most welcomed by our rough sleepers’ outreach teams. Toiletries (wet wipes, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste), combs/brushes, chocolate bars, socks and gloves would be very useful. The teams are also able to make use of sleeping bags, roll mats and torches. Duvets cannot be accepted.
The items needed most are hats, coats, hoodies, gloves and socks. We do accept underwear but only if it is brand new – please do not donate used underwear as we will not pass it on. Some projects may be able to accept other items; your local project will be able to advise you what they can make best use of at the current time.
Gifts are always welcome and please do label them if they are more suitable for men, women or children specifically. Most of our projects support only adults but the Youth and Family projects listed in our directory support children too. The adults we support may indeed struggle to provide Christmas gifts for their children so we can use kids’ gifts in this way too.
Please note that we cannot accept donations containing alcohol as these would be unsuitable for some of the people we support.
Non-perishable foods that do not require much preparation are best, particularly for rough sleepers without access to facilities. Our hostels and nightshelters may be able to accept other types of foods but this will depend on the storage and facilities available to them.
We can sometimes accept large quantities of food or fresh food that is near its use-by date, but as it will not always be possible for us to use such donations in time we must occasionally turn them down. For projects where meals are provided, we need to ensure that we can always provide those meals – so we have long-term arrangements in place to make this happen.
Please remember that not all of the people we support are currently sleeping on the streets.
Whilst many of the people we support have slept rough in the past, or are currently sleeping rough, our mission is to get people off the streets and into accommodation as quickly as possible. Sleeping rough is extremely dangerous, particularly during the winter. People are not only exposed to the harsh weather but are also vulnerable to abuse, attack and exploitation.
The people we support may remain in accommodation with us for anywhere between 2 months and 18 months. This may be due to requiring ongoing support or due to a shortage of available accommodation that they can to move onto. Whilst they cannot afford luxuries, they will have at least some basic provisions of food and clothing, so toiletries and gift sets are most welcome.
If you are asking friends and family to donate to an appeal, do think about how you’ll store and transport the donations. Appeals on social media have ‘gone viral’ in the past which is great – but this level of appeal will need some planning!
Finally, a box of similar items (e.g. a box of toothpaste or a box of cereal bars) is just as useful as a mixed shoebox, particularly if the supplies run into the new year – people can quickly access what they need, when they need it. | 2019-04-21T12:25:42 | https://www.swanseasound.co.uk/promotions/the-cold-truth/the-wallich/ |

The therapeutic process can be related to a journey. As in any expedition, the traveler will have times of hardship and times of revelation. The end result is made up of things experienced and learned along the way. Things are left behind and healing though growth occurs. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have over 10 years of experience working with such issues as depression, postpartum depression, grief, anxiety, behavioral issues, and trauma. I believe that therapeutic treatment offers the opportunity to achieve personal growth and self-discovery in a safe and private environment. My theoretical orientation as a counselor is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means that I will collaboratively work with you toward realization of how your thoughts impact your feelings and behaviors. I also have extensive training in expressive and art therapies, holding a Masters of Science in Art Therapy, and I include elements of art therapy in my approach, where art is used as a bridge to enable the expression of emotions when verbalization may be difficult. Other modalities applied are play therapy and mindfulness techniques. I believe that each client in unique and that therapy should be tailored to meet the needs of each individual. | 2019-04-20T16:31:51 | https://artfulhealingtherapy.com/about-me/ |

After many failed attempts at trying to merge our files together using Github, I decided to look for an alternative source control solution. As I had been introduced to Perforce during my time at the Global Game Jam I decided to figure out how to use that program.
Perforce allows multiple users to work of a single project by checking out specific files and working on them and committing your changes once you’re finished using the file. While I was using Perforce during the game jam I realised it was so much faster when iterating on an Unreal project compared to Github and I was able to commit my changes within the engine which is plus.
Setting up Perforce took a while to work out but now that we have it figured out we will be able to work much faster than we were before since we don’t have to make separate branches and merge the branches when we want to share our work. | 2019-04-26T12:38:33 | https://owenreesdesign.com/devblog/2019/1/30/portobelly-production-journal-9 |
Read more about integrated ticketing systems, just how they differ from other support channels and what their advantage is.
There are different ways to contact the web hosting company whose services you are using, but the one that you’ll always find no matter which company you opt for is a ticketing system. It’s the least complicated form of correspondence for a number of reasons. In the event that no technical support staff member is free at the moment and they’re all occupied, a telephone call may not be responded to, but a ticket will always hit home. Plus, you can copy & paste large bits of info without worrying about typing errors, and in case a specific problem requires more time to be solved or a number of responses have to be exchanged, all the information will be in the same place, so either party can always see the comments added by the other one. The drawback of using tickets to get in touch with your web hosting provider is that they are often separate from the hosting platform, which implies that if you have to provide information or to follow instructions, you’ll have to use no less than two separate interfaces and this number may grow if you’d like to administer several domains. On top of that, lots of web hosting providers reply to tickets after a few hours, or even once in every twenty four hours, and for you as a client, this means wasted time while awaiting a response.
The ticketing system that we use for our website hosting isn’t separate from the web hosting account. It’s part of our fully featured Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to access it at any particular time with just a few clicks of the mouse, without the need to leave your hosting account. The ticketing system offers a quick-search field, which will help you track down the status of any ticket that you’ve already submitted, if needed. Besides, you can read knowledge base articles that belong to different problem categories, which you can choose, so you can find out how to handle a particular problem before you actually submit a ticket. The ticket response time is no more than 60 minutes, which goes to say that you can get timely assistance whenever you need one and in case our help desk support staff suggests that you should do something within your hosting account, you can do it momentarily without needing to sign out of the Control Panel.
The ticketing system that we are using is incorporated into the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which we’ve created for our semi-dedicated servers, which goes to say that you won’t require another platform to touch base with our client care staff – you can do it on the spot in the event that you come across a complication. Submitting a new ticket takes a few clicks and finding an older one is just as simple. Using our smart search filter, you can quickly track down any ticket that you’ve sent in the past. You can post a ticket at any point in time since our customer care team members are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and answer in less than sixty minutes, although it seldom takes that much to receive assistance. With the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll have everything in a single place and you can forget about logging in and out of two or more platforms to resolve a simple problem. | 2019-04-26T06:48:05 | https://bestvaluewebhosting.com/terminology/integrated-ticketing-system/ |
California legislators approved collection of an online sales tax among their revenue efforts as they passed the state budget on Wednesday.
Sponsors estimate the tax could bring in $200 million a year by collecting taxes that consumers have been avoiding when they make online purchases.
Federal law says states can only tax companies with a physical presence in a state, but the new California law applies that to include companies such as Amazon.com Inc. of Seattle, that have “affiliates” in a state. | 2019-04-20T03:01:17 | https://www.internetlawyer-blog.com/california-okays-online-sales-tax/ |

The FPA has launched Return to Learn - an online hub of tools and resources, supporting practitioner members as they navigate the FASEA education standards.
With new education requirements for new and existing planners, new CPD standards of 40 hours a year applying from 1 January 2019, a new ongoing professional development component, in addition to a new Code of Ethics that all practitioners must comply with from 1 January 2020 and an industry exam that needs to be passed by 1 January 2021, the FPA has launched Return to Learn – an online hub of tools and resources to support practitioners as they transition to the new Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA) framework.
Return to Learn is an online education hub containing everything planners and licensees need to know to navigate the FASEA education standards and professional requirements for new and existing planners, including tips for planners undertaking further study.
Return to Learn was many months in the making and developed in-house by the FPA’s education and policy experts, with co-operation from FASEA-approved tertiary education providers, and tested by practitioner members.
The online resource was developed in response to FASEA’s education pathways, which documents the range of pathways for new and existing financial planners to comply with FASEA’s education criteria for planners.
Under FASEA’s framework, the maximum requirement for a new entrant will be an approved bachelor degree of 24 subjects and for an existing planner, it will be a graduate diploma of eight subjects.
The minimum requirements for a new entrant will be an approved graduate diploma of eight subjects and for an existing planner, it will be one subject: FASEA’s bridging course, the FASEA Code of Ethics and Code Monitoring Bodies.
According to FASEA, the amount of education a planner will be required to undertake will depend on the amount of education they already have.
To assist planners in determining their education requirements, the FPA has developed Return to Learn – an online hub offering ‘one-stop’ access to information, tools and resources to support planners as they transition to the new FASEA standards.
“All planners are impacted by FASEA, whether it’s further study, the exam or complying with the new Code of Ethics module. The FPA is committed to assisting members transition smoothly to the new framework,” De Gori says.
According to De Gori, Return to Learn was designed as a resource to support members by cutting through the confusion and misinformation concerning the new education framework, and seamlessly guiding them through their education pathway.
Return to Learn features concise explanations of FASEA’s policies and Code of Ethics, as well as invaluable education tools that are conveniently grouped together in one easily accessible hub on the FPA Learn website at learn.fpa.com.au.
The hub contains a wealth of information, providing users with a a wide range of tools, fact sheets, videos and tips that have been specifically designed to help planners. These tools range from video tutorials that help planners prepare for their exams, to information on the various approved tertiary education providers, including course requirements, course costs and required time commitments.
While the Return to Learn hub offers a wide selection of tools and resources for planners to access, there are a couple of features that De Gori is particularly excited by. One of these is the FASEA education pathways tool.
“By answering a series of questions, users will be able to identify what further studies they will need to undertake in order to comply with the new education standards, whether this is a bridging unit or more intensive study,” he says.
De Gori is also excited by the ‘one-stop’ education matrix comparison tool, which lists and compares all the approved education providers offering postgraduate degrees, enabling planners to easily compare and identify the best study option for them.
“We believe this comparison tool to be the first of its kind in the market,” De Gori says. “Planners and licensees can see at a glance what degree and courses are available in the market, and directly compare them to other education providers.
De Gori adds that once FASEA releases the practice exam, it will be linked to the FPA Return to Learn portal, and study resources will be provided to help members prepare for the exam. He also reveals the FPA is currently working on tools to enable planners to fulfil their CPD requirements, including the FPA’s updated CPD policy, which aligns with the new FASEA requirements.
The online education and resource hub is free for members to use. It can be accessed by clicking here.
Education pathways tool – By answering a series of questions, users will be able to identify what further studies they will need to undertake in order to comply with FASEA’s new education standard.
Cost comparison tool – This ‘one-stop shop’ of all the approved education providers offering postgraduate degrees, allows planners to compare degrees and help them to identify their best option. The tool also includes a comparison of the credits each university will allocate to members who have completed the five unit CFP® Certification Program. The tool also includes links to the University Credit and Recognition of Prior Learning policies.
In addition, the FPA has formally applied to FASEA for accreditation of all education pathways into the CFP® Certification Program where FASEA has not already awarded credits.
FASEA exam – This tool includes a range of study resources including transitioning to university level studies, preparing for assessments and exams, study techniques, time management tips and much more. FASEA’s practice exam and recommended reading lists will also be available on FPA Return to Learn once they are released by FASEA.
FPA CPD policy – The FPA’s CPD policy has been updated to align with the new FASEA requirements.
Navigating the new FPA Return to Learn online portal couldn’t be easier. When you first enter Return to Learn, you will see the dashboard. This contains quick links to the FPA’s CPD course catalogue, CPD tracker and Return to Learn.
However, the CPD course catalogue and CPD tracker are currently still in development, but will be rolled out during 2019.
Using Return to Learn is easy and intuitive. On the home page, click on the tiles to go to a desired topic, like ‘FASEA policy on education pathways’ and ‘Financial adviser exam’. Once inside, you will see the grey buttons on top of the header. Use these buttons to navigate to sub-topics. And use the ‘home’ button to go back to the main page.
You may also prefer to navigate using the sidebar to the left of the screen, or use the small arrows to close this view. | 2019-04-19T19:14:50 | https://www.moneyandlife.com.au/professionals/financial-planning/insight/return-to-learn-navigates-fasea-standards-2/ |
The IFJ and its regional organisation, the European Federation of Journalists are calling on the European Court of Human Rights to protect the right of journalists to protect their sources when they examine a petition introduced by IFJ/EFJ affiliated AGJPB (General Association of Professional Journalists of Belgium), the SJPS (Society of Professional Journalists of Le Soir) and by 4 professional journalists against the Belgian state on Tuesday 25 June 2002, in Strasbourg.
According to our information, massive searches took place in June 1995 in 4 offices of Belgian media (Le Soir, Le Soir Illustré, RTBF in Liège and Brussels, and De Morgen) and in the private houses of 5 journalists (Philippe Brewaeys, Walter de Bock, Martine Ernst, René Haquin, Alain Guillaume). Dozens of files, floppy disks and hard disks of computers belonging to the journalists were confiscated. These searches only had one aim: to discover who, inside the authorities of the Belgian Justice, gave certain information to those journalists regarding an ongoing investigation into "the Cools affair", which refers to the name of the Minister of State killed in Liège in 1991.
In 1996, the AGJPB and the affected journalists took the case to the European Court of Human Rights after the Belgian Supreme Court, in first and last instance, declared that the complaint was not admissible.
The EFJ refers back to previous decisions taken by the European Court of Human Rights, "cornerstone of the press freedom", (case "Goodwin" and "Canard enchaîné"), and the recommendation of the Council of Europe R (2000) 7 on the right of journalists not to disclose their sources of information adopted on March 8th 2000.
"This case is of crucial importance to the European journalism community", said Gustl Glattfelder, Chairman of the EFJ, "not only for the freedom to inform and for journalists in Belgium, but also for all member countries of the Council of Europe that have to include the decision in their national law."
At its annual meeting in Brussels last weekend, the European Federation of Journalists, which represents more than 200,000 journalists in 29 countries, passed an urgent motion on this case calling for representatives of its affiliated members to attend the hearing of the Court on 25 June, to disseminate the above information to their respective national media, and to show their solidarity and the importance of this case for the fundamental rights of the journalists and for press freedom in Europe, of which the protection of sources is a cornerstone.
The case will be before the Court in Strasbourg on 25 June 2002, at 2:00 p.m. | 2019-04-19T04:41:48 | https://www.ifex.org/belgium/2002/06/20/ifj_calls_on_european_court_to/ |

When we first walked in to NOLA on the Square, we were hopeful that a great meal would await us. The ambiance was inviting and chic, and the restaurant was buzzing with business people on their lunch breaks. There were many classic, Creole-inspired items on the menu like gumbo, crawfish dishes, po boys, a muffaletta, and jambalaya straight from New Orleans.
The menu descriptions all sounded delicious and promising. However, we felt that the food and the service overall just fell flat.
We ordered a shrimp po boy and the signature NOLA burger. Both came with voodoo fries, which we expected to be at least somewhat spicy but weren't at all. The texture of the fries was somewhat dry and yet mushy. The burger was supposed to come with roasted red peppers and onions, a remoulade, and bacon, which seems like a recipe for contrasting flavors and textures. However, the flavors just weren't there. The burger was basically just a big hunk of pretty boring, relatively unseasoned meat.
The shrimp po boy, unfortunately, wasn't much better. The battered shrimp tasted somewhat fishy, and the slaw was just carrots and cabbage that needed some kind of dressing. There was supposed to be spicy papaya sauce on the sandwich, which sounded like it would have really amped up the dish. However, the sauce was either not there at all or seriously lacking in flavor. I could see how with a few tweaks this would be a great sandwich and lacked in the same spots like the NOLA burger.
Finally, the service was uncomfortable – our waitress kept interrupting our conversation mid-sentence which was just awkward. There is a time and place to save time in the busy weekday lunch rush, and this is not it.
Overall, we felt that the menu descriptions were somewhat misleading. Dishes just didn't taste like what you'd expect from the descriptions, and, for that matter, just didn't taste like much of anything at all. Perhaps a visit on the weekend when they are not completely overwhelmed from the downtown business traffic may produce a better experience as our dishes seemed to get shortchanged on what was promised on the menu.
NOLA on the Square is located at 24 Market Square in the heart of Market Square in Downtown Pittsburgh.

Will you try to open that mysterious door, or would you rather see how far you can throw a speaker set out the window?
Human: Fall Flat is most certainly a puzzle platformer. There are lots of puzzles, and lots of platforms to jump between, over, and shimmy around. It doesn’t, however, control like any puzzle platform game I’ve ever encountered. Forget the precision of the recently released Super Mario Odyssey, this takes you into the opposite direction of fighting the controls for minimal gains. What seemed at first to be a clumsy, stumbling, drunken buffoon of a character, slowly develops a skill set that requires practice, patience and most certainly persistence. You see, the awkward movement of your character is one of the challenges to overcome. Deliberately holding you back from seemingly easy everyday tasks in order for you to feel truly accomplished at completing a difficult section of a level, and to revel in the hilarity that often occurs at simple lapses of concentration.
Controlling Bob is not easy. The Left Analogue Stick moves him around the 3D environment in a shambling, half-drunken zombie gait. Slow and steady is certainly Bob’s thing. The Right Analogue Stick is used for camera control, and vertical orientation can be inverted. The camera is responsive, never gets stuck on scenery, but has a preponderance to zoom through your character when in enclosed spaces or near a wall, making it hard to know what’s going on, or what you’re doing. Due to the requirement of 2 Analogue Sticks, when playing in 2-player mode the option of single Joy-Con use is not available. Full controller set-ups must be used. Bob jumps with a press of A, a rather short and low jump, though, and plays dead, collapsing on the spot, with a press of X, not useful, but always hilarious at the right/wrong time.
His true manipulation of the environment comes from the use of his hands. Pressing and holding ZL extends Bob’s left arm, with ZR doing the same for his right. The end of each arm houses a sticky hand. Touch anything and Bob grabs hold of it until you release the ZR or ZL button. By doing this and moving the camera (known as Bob’s head) around you’ll see that control of the height and stretch of his arms are possible. Look up and Bob raises his arms, look down and he bends over and stretches to retrieve something from the floor. One of the biggest challenges to overcome, therefore, is distance. Judging the correct distance between you, your hard to control appendages, and the object that is required to be interacted with is fiddly at best.
As you progress through the game a lot of well timed jumping is required, and you may ask, how is this possible with a deliberately awkward set-up meant to confound the player. Well to jump to anything just above head height, first raise both your arms by holding the camera to look up and pressing ZL and ZR, then jump into the platform, with a short run and press of A. The sticky hands will catch hold of the ledge, don’t let go now. Next, tilt your head to look down, thereby moving your hands down and pulling your body up. At just the right time, when the ‘weight’ of your body is over the lip of the platform, let go with your hands (ZL and ZR) and push forward on to walk (Left Analogue Stick) and get up to safety. Seems complicated for a little jump, well yes, and that’s the point of the whole game. The first time you perform the move, with so many button presses, holding this, letting go there, it all seems confusing and you’ll mess up and drop. What Human: Fall Flat does well is giving you plenty of practice to master that skill before moving you onto the next. The jumping mechanic is tutorialised by making your way up a mountain. One mistake will probably mean falling all the way to the bottom and restarting another attempt at the climb. Perseverance is an absolute requisite for the player of Human: Fall Flat, and with it such actions become second nature to pull off. Just as you’ve become familiar with this moveset, Human: Fall Flat moves onto teaching you another skill. And there are many, from climbing, to shimmying, to lever pulling, button pressing, rope swinging, hooking/unhooking, death sliding, throwing, momentum flinging, floating, rowing, barrel rolling, catapult loading and firing, unlocking various door styles, building objects that will suffice to allow progress, etc. And the environment of each level is such that with clever thinking, or just dumb luck, there’s always more than one way to skin a cat.
The levels within Human: Fall Flat are large open areas allowing you to explore at your leisure what it is that is required of you to make progress to the next section. Each level presents itself as a playground for the player to focus on progress or as an experimentation laboratory. I could move the wrecking ball to knock down a wall allowing access to the next interlinked area of the level, or I could jump into a large refuse bin and get my friend to push it off the side of the tall half demolished 5 storey building. And that’s where Human: Fall Flat excels, when 2-players are enjoying their time together. Playing alone can feel ostensibly like playing a regular puzzle platform game. Add the second player and the ability to help each other out, scupper the other person’s best laid plans, or just piss-around and laugh at being catapulted across a river for no other reason than it’s fun, is where Human: Fall Flat’s longevity lies. There were also plenty of instances where I felt I had missed a chunk of a level because I’d found my own way around, in a way that was not intended. And this lends the game an air of replayability to check out areas that you may somehow have skipped through. Places, such as Mansions, Mountains, Demolition Sites, Castles, and Waterways can all be traversed at your leisure or with more of a goal based focus.
Human: Fall Flat has a solid feel to its low poly-visuals. Textures are flat colours, but the use of shadow gives everything a depth of solidity required to feel part of the landscape. Draw distance is as far as the eye can see, for the most part, only fogging in the details at the most far removed structures. Yes, visually simplistic, but Human: Fall Flat excels with its physics. Everything behaves as you would imagine it to in the real world. Place a cylinder on the floor, with a long plank over it, and you have a seesaw. Get player 2 to drop an anvil onto the other end, and propelling hilarity never ceases to amuse. Ropes can be use to cross crevasses by swinging in a coordinated fashion, individual bricks of a wall fall down after being smashed by a huge wrecking ball, larger heavier objects are more difficult to move than their lighter, smaller counterparts. The only thing that seems wonky in this world is your interface of interaction with it, Bob.
That’s not to say everthing is perfect, far from it. Human: Fall Flat suffers from performance issues. Whether docked or undocked, one or two-players, the performance issues were all too present. The most vivid were the freeze frames. The game would freeze for over a second at a time before resuming its course. The game also has a dropped frame rate that causes stuttering in places where the areas tend to be larger. It’s far from game breaking, but it is very evident and jarring, and occurs regularly enough to be off-putting in some of the trickier sections. These performance issues present themselves in all the varieties of the Switch’s play-styles, docked or undocked. However, the general gameplay is so slow that the stuttering frame rate doesn’t really get in the way. It resolves itself quickly, within a few seconds, and normal play is resumed, until the next stuttering fit or freeze.
The music is lovely. Orchestral violin and clarinet concertos reinforce the dream-like visual scope of Bob’s dreams. Sound effects are mostly thudding, bumping, clanking noises of Bob’s misuse of the environmental objects at hand, and adds to the level of immersion and hilarity, slap-stick style. Nothing like turning around with an oar and ‘accidently’ clouting player 2 in the back of the head, with the appropriate comedy thud, to propel them over the mountain, that they’ll have to climb back up again. Which reminds of the save states. If only one of the 2 players makes it to a checkpoint, then upon death both players can spawn at this new location. It makes the 2-player game a little easier to navigate than a solo attempt. Why build a shipping container staircase, when you can just get player 2 to jump onto the dock-crane and hoist them over, then jump into the salty-brine and spawn at the newly created marker.
Players can customise their character from the Main Menu with skin colour changes, and different items of clothes for the three main body parts. All clothes can be colour changed to suit your dress sense, and clothes from police uniforms and casuals, to construction workers and soldiers can be chosen. Or, to the hell with that and just walk around naked.
The game has fluctuated between making me, at first, think that I’d hate this game because of the broken mechanics, to loving it, for the very same reason, to me screaming in frustration as an oar gets caught on some scenery and I pushed back into the water and a drown based death, for the 15th time. Replaying difficult sections is a requirement in this game.
So Human: Fall Flat excels at its attempt at a physics based puzzle platformer, and this is especially true when playing in local co-op mode with another player of a like mind. The game struggles to maintain the player’s interest in a solo play through once the main progression/story is completed. Some of the puzzles are truly great, whilst others can be approached and solved from a variety of angles, others, yet still, require a linear puzzle solution that can be tediously repetitive or, at worst, downright frustrating. A great game held slightly back by frustrating elements and a stuttering framerate no matter how you play it.
Great puzzle platformer with 2 players present to test the physics engine to breaking point in hilarious hi-jinks, struggles to maintain interest beyond the main progression in one-player mode, and is plagued by non-game breaking frame freezes and stuttering throughout. | 2019-04-20T02:55:04 | http://blueprintreview.co.uk/2017/12/human-fall-flat-nintendo-switch/ |
We were warned not to make loud sound/voices.
Its NOT a kid friendly place to stay. You can't have a party or cant make noise on this property. No pool as described. Internet not working.
Everthings great except there is a cctv cameras all over the house on the 1st floor.
First off, I have a 4yo with allergies to dust. My house is not spotless but i have managed to eliminate his allergies. Even when we visit relative houses that are not up to par with my standards of cleanliness, he doesnt get allergies. In this house though, the owner, who is japanese, is fond of carperts. DUSTY Carpets+ lazy caretakers= Allergic rhinitis for the family. Almost all rooms have dirty carpets so there is no escape from sneezing and puffy red eyes. Now let me tell you about Edith the caretaker. When we arrived, i asked if we can use the grill as I read in the review they have one. She said YES. After going to the market to buy seafood to grill, she tells me the grill is broken and cannot be used. It was raining. I asked her to show me the grill and I will make a way to use it. She responded by pointing the grill in the backyard and asked me to get while she stood with her umbrella and me standing in the rain. I insisted she gets it or I will call the owner to no avail. I took the grill and used some rocks to make it stand. She suggested we fry the squid we bought from the market to which i started to get really irritated with her. After a few minutes, she maybe thought i will not accept her laziness, she brought out a usable grill. It turns out she has 2 working grills. I then found out from our helper that she is the mom in law of the owner which may be the reason she is acting like a primadona. I dont care if she is the owner, I am the customer and I have a right to good customer service. The house is beautiful and spacious, yes, and it is cheap, yes, but you have to bear the awful service and the dirty house. The jacuzzi in the masters doesnt work and is moldy. Kitchen and dining are clean and the best areas in the house. I guess I got what I paid for.
The property is okay but it has no.pool which is very very disappointing, the soaking tub is not working, the two smaller rooms has no tv, They should revise their property description so the travellers will not expect much when they arrive at the property. If you want a staycation go for this property but if you want to have a meaningful, fun and memorable vacation look for another property.
A good place to stay with hospitable folks attending to our needs.
The villa was spaceous and clean. Hot shower. Kitchen.
Overall a very pleasant stay. My brother and his wife and kids came to visit us from Tokyo so we booked a few nights here with our parents and other siblings. The aircon was cold, and the TV reception ok. The WiFi did not work the first day but they had it fixed the next day. A lovely place with Persian rugs and expensive art all around. Nice big comfortable sofas too. And the dining room could fit 8 adults. Plus the caretaker let us use their BBQ grill and even gave us free charcoal. That was great because we could not find a place that sold charcoal anywhere in or around the base! The only bad thing is all the CCTV cameras. This was probably put to guard the artwork but it still felt creepy, ... to be watched all the time. No CCTVs in the bedrooms or bathrooms though.... I think?
Excellent. We really had fun staying in this hotel. We will surely be back.
we like the house althou there are many restrictions if you have kids and if you are a big group.
It was quiet and clean. Make sure to bring your own food. It seems like some one's extra room that they put for rent. | 2019-04-22T06:04:53 | https://www.agoda.com/zh-cn/subic-vacation-house-and-gallery/hotel/subic-zambales-ph.html |
