Mary-Evelyn Ternan was in the first co-hort of full time female students at Saint Mary’s in 1968. At that time, her father James Ternan DipEng'35 was Director of Summer School and Evening Division, and Mary-Evelyn came to SMU to finish her undergraduate credits. Many of her family members also attended SMU, including siblings Gerry Ternan BSc'69 and Patricia Ternan Rutter BComm'74 BEd'77 and nephew Stephen Ternan BComm'96. Now, 50 years later, Mary-Evelyn is known as one of Saint Mary’s most dedicated volunteers, and a familiar friendly face on campus.
As one of the first 50 women attending SMU full time, she remembers facing obstacles such as a lack of amenities, no residence rooms, and a less than enthusiastic welcome from some of her peers. Over the years she says attitudes changed and the atmosphere was elevated with the inclusion of women on campus. During her time as an undergrad student, she was part of the Drama Club. After graduating with her BEd in 1970, Mary-Evelyn worked as an elementary school teacher in Halifax until 2003, while also being active with the Nova Scotia Teachers Union both locally and provincially. She spent her time volunteering with the Federal and Provincial Liberal Party Associations and as secretary of the Amici del Vino club for Italian food and wine enthusiasts. She spends her down time entertaining friends, reading, and spending time with Dora, her English Springer Spaniel.
Her dedication to the Saint Mary’s community has been outstanding, and even included special deliveries of cookies to SMUSA and the Alumni Office from time to time. She may be completing her term with the Alumni Council this Fall, but she will always be a proud member of the Alumni family and an example of a true Santamarian.
Jimmy Ho came to Saint Mary’s from China in 1976 to study commerce after hearing about the University’s great program. As a student, he was a member of the Chinese Student Association and participated in the Chinese New Year banquet with the Lion Dance team.
After graduating in 1979 with his Bachelor of Commerce, Jimmy returned to Hong Kong and worked as a computer programmer in a multinational company. He got involved in the Hong Kong Alumni Chapter in 2013, and began organizing events for the Chapter in 2016.
The Hong Kong chapter has organized many alumni events including casual gatherings, industry visits for BNUZ students, hiking tours, a Canada 150 celebration, and collaborative events with Dalhousie Alumni in the region. All of the events are well promoted and documented on the Saint Mary’s Hong Kong Alumni website, which he maintains. When University delegates visit Hong Kong, Jimmy goes above and beyond to plan special trips and dinners, and takes the time to tour the city with visitors.
In 2018, the first cohort of students with joint degrees from Beijing Normal University Zhuhai and Saint Mary’s University graduated from the Zhuhai campus, and Jimmy arranged for alumni to make the trip for the special event, even organizing alumni and honour guard volunteers for the Convocation ceremony. | 2019-04-20T02:23:27 | http://smu.ca/alumni/alumni-volunteer-of-the-year-award.html |

This is awesome! My Exchange account over at www.myhostedsolution.com has been migrated to their new Exchange 2010 hosting servers. This means that I can finally do SMS synchronisation between my mobile, running Windows Mobile 6.5, and my Inbox. Better still, with Outlook 2010 I can both view and reply to SMS messages from within Outlook. All of this without having to configure any additional settings or services.
Here are the few steps you have to do.
Upgrade your Exchange account to Exchange 2010. If you set up hosting with www.myhostedsolution.com you get this included in you subscription for free by default. Did I mention they have unlimited storage so is awesome value.
Go into ActiveSync on your Windows Mobile 6.5 device and enable synchronization of Text Messages. This should enable synchronization of your text messages with your Exchange 2010 server. When I first upgraded to Exchange 2010 the option to synchronize text messages didn’t appear in ActiveSync on my device so I ended up wiping the device and setting up the account again.
The next piece is to install or upgrade to Outlook 2010. This sports a much newer interface, including the ability to send SMS messages. After installing and configuring your account (or if you’re upgrading, after your data file has been upgraded) you should see an email from Outlook 2010 entitled “Send and receive text messages on your computer!” which indicates that your mobile device is synchronizing text messages and Outlook is ready to send messages.
This will open the Text Message window where you can enter your message. Note the list of emoticons in the ribbon.
Once you’ve written your message, hit Send. When your device next synchronizes you should see a notification that your SMS message has been sent. That’s right, Outlook 2010 synchronizes the message to be sent to Exchange 2010, which then synchronizes it to your mobile device, which then sends it using your mobile phone account. No additional services necessary!
If you get an SMS Message it will be synchronized to Exchange 2010, then on to Outlook 2010, appearing in your Inbox along with your email. Careful if you’re working for an organisation that monitors email as your text messages will now be accessible to your Exchange administrators.
You can of course reply to an SMS and it will be sent out again via Exchange, Outlook…. your device. You do need to make sure your device is synchronizing, otherwise your SMS messages won’t be sent.
Every time I get a new device I go through almost one debug cycle before I’ve had enough and decide to disable the Windows Mobile security. If you aren’t familiar with Windows Mobile security there are essentially one (for pocketpc/Windows Mobile Professional) or two levels (for smartphone/Windows Mobile Standard). In both cases, if security is enabled the device will prompt you, as in the following screenshot, to allow untrusted assemblies to run on the device. Of course, this includes a number of assemblies that are used during debugging, so a royal pain to have to click Yes for each assembly that is loaded.
The easiest way to disable this “feature” is to use the Device Security Manager that comes with Visual Studio 2008 (Tools –> Device Security Manager). So long as your device is connected via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center you should see a display similar to the next image ��� this shows my device with Prompt One Tier as the current setting.
Selecting “Security Off” and hitting the Deploy to Device means that I can easily debug applications without having to click Yes to those annoying prompts.
As you can see this is essentially a deep link with some additional information on the end of it. Simply strip off all the extra parameters to give you a deep link that you can use.
Now I had to double read this… surely the only way to do something like this would be to have an application already running on the device… and doesn’t that imply that the user already has your application installed on the device… which means they’ve probably already been to marketplace, found, purchased and installed your application… what’s the point in providing this mechanism????
Ok, in answer to that question I can see that if you have multiple Windows Mobile applications in marketplace then you can increase sales by providing cross links between your applications. That way once someone buys one of your applications, they are more likely to buy the others. Alternatively you could provide a free/trial version with a link to the paid version.
Personally I see that there is an obvious gap here – how do I provide a deep link to my application on a mobile web site (or even a standard web site that is accessible via a WM device) that can be resolved on the device via the marketplace client. It wouldn’t be out of the question to have a link such as wmapp://LinkID that would be handled by the marketplace client in order to display the appropriate application. This link could be used when the site detects the page being browsed by a windows mobile client.
There are a number of good posts on working with OpenGL on Windows Mobile via the .NET Compact Framework but one thing I’ve noticed is that they don’t really try to wrap the OpenGL functionality in a way that makes it reusable as an application/game framework. Mostly the logic for rendering was intermingled with windows forms logic, such as OnPaint, which was intermingled with logic for updating the current scene. If you look at say XNA you notice that the model is very simple – essentially they have a single run loop consisting of Update and Draw. I set out to update the OpenGL ES wrapper initially provided by Koushik Dutta and since extended with some great examples across at XDA Developers. Here’s what I came up with to start with.
If you grab the OpenGL ES wrapper you will notice that at its core is essentially a single Windows Form that handles the OnPaint method in order to draw using OpenGL primitives. Nearly all the computation and rendering is done in this method. In the constructor and subsequent initialization methods there are a number of OpenGL ES calls in order to setup the display, surface and context required in order for OpenGL to draw to the screen. In order to create a reusable framework that would be a starting point for any project undertaken in OpenGL all this code would have to be wrapped in a way that it doesn’t need to be duplicated for each project.
To push the call to UpdateScene onto a separate thread. This prevents the UI from blocking whilst it’s in running.
To invoke Invalidate once UpdateScene has completed. This ensures that OnPaint will be invoked again and that the draw-update loop will be invoked again.
In the next post I’ll show you how to get started with this wrapper by overriding the ApplicationForm. In the meantime, try it yourself….
Does Windows Mobile 6 Smell (part II)?
In my previous post I talked about Microsoft and the enterprise and how it had help shape Windows Mobile 6.x. Now I want to look at some of the implications of this strategy, specifically looking at how the attitude towards touch input has changed over time.
One of the things that really differentiated Windows Mobile was it’s ability to work on multiple different form factors, from your non-touch txt friendly devices with keyboards through to your candy bar devices through to your pda-style devices with on-screen keyboards. Track back a few years and you would have seen the names Pocket PC and Smartphone being used to describe devices with and without a touch interface. With a move to align the two operating systems these came to be known as Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Standard – personally I think this did more than confuse the market who were already confused by the double use of the word Smartphone.
But this post wasn’t supposed to be a Windows Mobile history lesson, instead it was to look at our opinions on touch have evolved. If you recall back to the Pocket PC days there were very few people who actually used “touch” to interact with their device. Most uses whipped out their stylus and used that to push and poke at the screen. They would tap at the on-screen keyboard or even learn how to use the quirky text recognition capabilities of the device. This process was quite painful, particularly if you were responding to a text message or email. This is in part why both hardware keyboards and the Smartphone increased in popularity – both these addressed the problem of how to quickly navigate and type on the device.
The challenge with a physical keyboard is that no matter how to position it you end up with a tiny keyboard that simply adds weight and size to the device. Text entry, whilst quickest using a full qwerty keyboard was still a far shy from entering it on the desktop and often the extra hassle of sliding out a keyboard, waiting for the screen to reorientate and then entering text was enough to put off a lot of users.
The challenge with Smartphone is that it just sux – ok, you have me, I’m not a Smartphone advocate. Whilst I find that the interface is quick to navigate nearly all the applications are somewhat lacking or clumsy to use. Take internet explorer for example – you either have a little arrow cursor that you drag around the screen using a dpad or you jump from link to link, often making the text of the website very difficult to read. Personally I’ve never liked this style of device and it was scary a couple of years ago because it seemed that 90% of all new devices being released by OEMs were a Smartphone, rather than having a touch screen.
From a development perspective we saw the convergence of Smartphone and Pocket PC into Windows Mobile as a good thing. It meant we could build a single application that would work on both styles of devices. Unfortunately, this is a bit like building a desktop application and running it on the device – great idea, but results in an aweful user experience as either the desktop application is limited to display what’s available on the device (ie small screen real estate) or the application has to scale down to fit to the device (resulting in small controls that are hard to use). Guidance from Microsoft even suggested that developers should build to target Smartphone so it will work on both devices.
This whole topic became even more interesting when Apple released the iPhone and multi-touch came into the mainstream. Unfortunately the Windows Mobile team failed to get it and released 6, 6.1 and 6.5 without any support for multi-touch. In fact it’s only been with the release of the HTC HD2 that we’ve even seen capacitive screens for Windows Mobile which would effectively allow multi-touch. I believe this was because there was a misunderstanding on how users wanted to use their device. Too much research focussed on looking at ways to improve what users were currently doing (eg using a stylus), rather than exploring more innovative ways for the users to do things (eg making all controls larger so that the user can use touch instead of a stylus).
Now, finally Microsoft has awoken and we are seeing a new era of devices and operating systems heavily geared towards making touch (and I’m sure in the future multi-touch). Windows Mobile 6.5.3 has restyled controls, repositioned Start menu and Ok buttons, specifically geared to making it easy to navigate with touch and gestures. Windows Phone 7 series is all about touch, swipe, gesture and motion in general. It’s clear to see that this is the way forward and that the old Blackberry style non-touch devices are a thing of the past.
Does Windows Mobile 6 Smell?
If you ask most users what they think of Windows Mobile they either don’t know what it is (most non-techie consumers) or they shudder saying that slow, overly complex phone that I never use now I have…. Anyone would think that Windows Mobile smells. I’d like to put forward some points that at least explains why it looks and smells the way it is. You may even decide to give the current generation of Windows Mobile 6.5.3 devices a go.
I think the first point I’d like to make is that I doubt at any stage Microsoft decided that the end user wasn’t the highest priority when designing and building Windows Mobile. The whole “end-user-first” message that’s coming from Microsoft is just another re-hash of the “Age of User Experience” message that we saw a couple of years ago. What I do buy is that Microsoft has changed focus on which end user they’re putting first, or at least, what end user activities should come first.
In the past the design of Windows Mobile was geared towards an end user who worked for an enterprise, was connected to Exchange server and the reason for having a device was to make phone calls, send sms, triage email, work with contacts, calendar and tasks to get their work done. Now we’re seeing a new era where Windows Phone 7 is about supporting end users in every facet of their lives – helping them stay in contact, entertain them, help them relax, get work done, oh and of course make a phone call. Actually the latter seems to have been almost an after thoughts as there is not even a hardware call and/or hang up button according to the specs released by Microsoft last week.
So I guess the question has to be asked as to why the focus was on the enterprise user? Microsoft’s entry into the mobile phone market came as an extension of their embedded operating system. In fact Windows Mobile is essentially Windows CE in a specified configuration, with additional modules, such as Office Mobile and of course a phone stack. As such it seemed logical for them to enter this space in order to support enterprise users.
Once in this space it appears that Microsoft saw RIM as one of the main competitors with their Blackberry devices. Those familiar with Microsoft codenames will know that Crossbow was one of the code names used internally for one of the previous versions of Windows Mobile – this happens (probably coincidentally) to be the name of a pesticide that can be used to get ride of the blackberry plant (ref Website). The Blackberry OS has traditionally been menu centric, so as long as Windows Mobile only had as single “Start” menu it was considered to be a safe bet. Also, since Blackberries didn’t have touch screens, supporting touch (rather than stylus, and definitely not multi-touch) input wasn’t really considered a core use case. Again the result was that Windows Mobile continued to evolve towards a dpad/keyboard driven interface – in the enterprise this resulted in some very effective office worker devices that could be used to rapidly triage email but they weren’t the nicest consumer devices.
More on this discussion in future posts….
Get it while it's hot from the download center. The content in my original overview of the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 SDK is still accurate. However the installation issues have been resolved and there is a bunch of things (like the help files and the Map Framework sample) are now installed correctly. The installation of the DTK should not affect any of the existing emulator images you have installed. Stay tuned for more information on what's in the DTK.
Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK - Ready, Set….. Oh wait, hang on….. Go!
As some of you will be aware there was a first attempt at releasing the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK (now missing) earlier this month. Despite a number of bits being missing or not installed correctly there are definitely some good bits coming in the DTK (take for example the Widget development story within VS2008). According to Todd in his Marketplace Momentum post we should see the real version of the DTK later this week. Check back with this blog to find out more about the actual release when it happens.
According to Twitter, which Microsoft clearly believes as the best way to communicate to its developer community, the Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK has been pulled.
Note that whilst this acknowledges that the SDK wasn’t properly tested there is apology to a developer community that collectively has probably wasted thousands of man hours installing, uninstall and reinstalling SDKs to get machines back to a working point.
I totally agree that the SDK should have been pulled as soon as there was a known issue with it but for Microsoft to continue to insult its developer audience is just one slap after the other.
The first thing to note about the newly released Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK is that it effectively comes in two parts. If you want to build applications for both the professional (ie touch screen devices) and standard you need to get both versions of the sdk. This way you will get all the emulator images.
For all those who have started working with Visual Studio 2010 the news is not great. As you are not doubt aware from the beta versions there is currently no support within VS 2010 for doing mobile development. This SDK release does not change this, you will continue to have to use Visual Studio 2008 for doing Windows Mobile development, with the exclusion of widgets, which you can do as a web site in VS 2010 and manually package it up for deployment.
Post install I thought I’d take a look at the readme file to see what’s changed in this SDK. Doh! Someone forgot to check this as the title reads “Windows Mobile 6 SDK Refresh”. The contents seem to make the title which made me think that I’d installed the wrong SDK but no, there’s a Start Menu item for “Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK” so I’m guessing that I didn’t get it wrong.
Following the readme “fail” I decided to launch Visual Studio 2008 to see whether I could spot the differences myself. From the New Project dialog (below) you can see that there is a new node “Widgets for Windows Mobile”. Given my recent set of blog posts on building Windows Mobile widgets I was really eager to see what this would entail.
After selecting the SimpleWidget option I was presented with a basic web site layout containing sub folders for css and script files. Personally I would have liked to see another sub folder for images.
Looked like a good starting point so I thought I’d try running it. Before doing so I went to start up a Windows Mobile 6.5 emulator image. I ran up the Device Emulator Manager only to discover that none of the 6.5 professional images (that were all there from when I’d install the 6.5 emulator image pack released last year) were there. Thinking I must be missing something I installed the Standard edition of the 6.5 SDK. This only made matters worse, now I have no Windows Mobile 6 or 6.5 images.
After enabling the ActiveX control I got the following output – looks very similar to what I’d expect on the device. Unfortunately the ActiveX prompt appears every time you start the debugger. The simple work around to this issue is to not stop the debugger. Because you are effectively working with a mini web site you can change content (ie htm, css, js) and just refresh the browser to see your changes.
Set breakpoints and then walk through your code inspecting variables.
Use the “hide” (which changes to “show” when clicked) button to mimic the widget going into the background. The onshow and onhide events get invoked.
Change the resolution and orientation of your widget to see what it would look like in different perspectives. Changing resolution is particularly important as you need to cater for these devices differently otherwise your widget will be either unusable or look childish.
You can change most of the System State properties to see what effect it has on your device. See my post on System State (aka Notification Broker) and Device Information for more information on working with this information.
Of course, whilst this is convenient for development, you must and I repeat must test your widgets on real devices.
I’m not entirely sure what all the parameters mean yet but I’m sure they’re in the help files somewhere (actually, no it appears not. The help files seem to be the standard WM6 SDK files). What does interest me is the Output Path parameter. If I navigate there I notice three files: the first two, Harness.html and Harness.js are what make the debugger happen, the last, SimpleWidget1.widget is of course the widget file which you can copy and install on your device or emulator to see how it runs on your device.
I must admit I expected to see a manifest file editor as part of the project properties. Not seeing it there I thought I’d double-click the config.xml files (which of course is the manifest file for a widget). Wow – notice the nice editor it displays, rather than a basic xml editor.
My only criticism here is that the team haven’t really thought this through. For a widget you would typically supply two icons if you are going to deploy to both professional and standard devices, one being a png, the other being an ico.
That’s enough about widgets. Let’s take a quick look at the emulator. Notice that this isn’t the 6.5 we’re used to see in the emulator. In fact if you look in the second image you’ll see that this is build 23090 which is around the build number that everyone has been talking about for Windows Mobile 6.5.3.
In brief you’ll notice that the start and ok/X buttons are at the bottom of the screen. A number of the menus are now graphical. The notification area drops down to be a graphical set of links and the tabs are no longer tabs, they’re more of a scrolling system (left-right) at the top of the page. These are all moves to better support touch input and going forward capacitive screens.
I’m sure there’s plenty more in the Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK that I haven’t discovered yet. Other than the major FAIL around the installation process (I would recommend uninstalling any previous WM6.5 emulators first) and the readme/help documentation I’m glad to see Microsoft starting to release new tools for us mobile developers.
Just posted to MSDN Downloads is a brand new SDK for doing Windows Mobile development. The SDK is coupled with new emulator image downloads for the following languages GER, FRA, ITA, JPN, CHS and ESP. Go download the bits from the Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK Download page.
Out of the box the Windows Mobile widget API provides only basic support for saving and retrieving data. The documentation on MSDN shows how you can read and write basic key-value pairs for values up to 4000 bytes but what happens if you want to store more than that? And, what do you do if you want your widget to run as a gadget or on a desktop browser? The following code, which we’ll add to widget.js handles all these scenarios.
When you run the widget you can enter a name, which will be persisted across runs of your widget. The following screenshots are from the widget running as a widget, gadget and in the desktop browser. Note that the gadget is unique in that if you close the gadget and open another instance it will not remember your settings. This is because each instance of the gadget has its own unique storage (so you can run multiple instance of the gadget at once). However, if you restart your computer with your gadget running you will notice that it remembers the values. This is because it is the same gadget instance!
Whilst Windows Mobile widgets are great, they definitely have their shortcomings when compared for true mobile application. One such area is in the ability to interact with device hardware and information. Further, it appears that every OS provider seems to be tackling this differently. If you look at S60 they have expose a wealth of device and user information via their widget API. Unfortunately one of the weaknesses of the current Microsoft implementation of widgets is that there are only a few pieces of device information you can query (out of the box) and no user information (ie contacts, calendar…). If you want to do more, you have to build and deploy ActiveX controls to assist your widget.
Returning to the Windows Mobile widgets and out of the box you get the following pieces of system information. All are exposed via the SystemState object.
A Boolean value indicating whether the device is cradled.
An integer value indicating whether the display is in portrait or landscape mode.
A Boolean value indicating whether the device is presently registered on its home network.
A string indicating the name of the device’s mobile operator.
A Boolean value indicating whether the device is currently roaming.
An integer indicating the phone signal strength, expressed as a percentage of full strength.
An integer indicating the current state of the battery, such as whether the battery level is critically low or if the battery is charging.
An integer indicating the current battery strength, expressed as a percentage of full strength.
And here’s an example of how you would access one of these properties. You first need to create an instance of the SystemState object. Next, query the actual property you are interested. Finally, if you want to receive notification when that property changes, you need to add an event handler to the “changed” event, passing in the callback method as the second parameter.
Note, that the SystemState properties and the callback event are all exposed via the Windows Mobile Notification Broker that has been around since Windows Mobile 5. What I don’t get is why only this limited set of properties?
One of the frustrating things about working with widgets is determining whether your widget has a connection, firstly to a network and secondly to your server. Whilst there is no “IsConnected” property exposed via the SystemState object, you can use a combination of properties to try and deduce if there is a network connection.
Lets start with the widget.js file. You have to be careful when working with the widget API to ensure you don’t break your cross-platform capabilities. Of course if you don’t want your widget to run as a gadget you can eliminate quite a bit of the following code.
The other thing you will notice about this code is that there is a wrapper used for calling the event callback. When certain system events are raised (eg PhoneSignalStrength) a number of events will be raised within a short period of time. This wrapper protects against this. Warning: Some events will be hidden by this wrapper, so only use it if you don’t mind if some events are missed. In our case we are only using the change in state to prompt the application to check if it still has connectivity.
In the utils.js file we’re going to add a simple Ping routine that can be used to detect if a server is reachable. It does so by downloading a specified image within a given timeframe. Note that you should use a small image as you don’t want to waste network bandwidth.
Now, to bring these together we’re going to introduce a new file, network.js, that registers for changes to the cradle and phone signal strength, and then based on those changes calls the Ping function to determine if the server can be reached. Note that as we don’t have any WiFi state information we can’t just assume that because the device is not cradled and there is no phone signal there is no data connection. As such, we just use the change in state to invoke ping the server. Again, there is some time checking around the Ping function to make sure it isn’t called too frequently.
Some minor changes to main.htm and main.js in order to display the connected state. Add a div, isConnected, to main.htm, and add a call to Network.init and a callback function to main.js.
After deploying this widget, you should see that the connected status is displayed below the rest of your content. Of course, you may want to use a nicer icon/image to represent the connected state.
One of the reasons that widgets are an interesting alternative to mobile web sites is their ability to integrate into the Windows Mobile shell similar to native or managed applications. Menus are one of these integration points. When designing your widget you should consider using the menus in additional to placing links within the content on your html page. Menus are a great way of controlling navigation within your application as they are always at the bottom of the screen, regardless of where the user has scrolled to (like mobile websites, widgets tend to be elongated, allowing vertical scrolling but eliminating horizontal scrolling where possible).
For example, the menu may contain items such as Home, Exit, About – items that are will be there regardless of where the user is in the widget. This is not to say you can’t dynamically control what’s displayed in the menu, in fact far from it as you can easily add and remove, enable and disable menu items.
In the previous post you saw how we can display manifest information to the user. Whilst this was useful in demonstrating how to read information from the manifest, it’s not likely that we always want that information to be displayed. Lets add a menu item that will toggle the visibility of this information.
To start with, we need to encapsulate the manifest information in the main.htm file into a single div that we can hide and show. This way we only need to toggle a single div, rather than each of the manifest information divs.
The next thing we need to do is add some helper methods to make working with widget menus that much easier. Note that this code will create menu items when running as a widget but it will also create div elements for menus when running in a standard browser, this aids debugging as you can test the navigation/event handling of your menus from within Visual Studio.
// Appends the menu item to the main menu at the end. If the id of the menuitem to be added already exists in the menu, an exception will be thrown.
// Appends the menu item to the parent menu at the end. If the id of the menuitem to be added already exists in the menu, an exception will be thrown.
// Removes the menu item from the main menu. If the specified id does not correspond to an item in the menu, an exception will be thrown.
// Removes the menu item from the sub main menu. If the specified id does not correspond to an item in the menu, an exception will be thrown.
// Sets the softkey of the widget. Currently we supprt setting the left softkey and right soft key.
// If there is an error setting the soft key, exception will be thrown. If the softkey index is invalid, exception will be thrown.
// Add sub menu items to right soft key "Menu"
Lastly, returning to the main.htm file we need to add two hidden divs which will be used during testing to display the menu items when the widget is run on the desktop. These divs will remain hidden when the widget is run on the device.
Here’s the widget in action – you can see that the left menu (which used to read Exit) now reads Blog and that the right menu includes both the standard Exit item and an About item. Clicking the About item displays the hidden manifest information.
If you run this from within Visual Studio, what you will see is that the left and right menus are simulated by divs that are created at the end of the page. In the same way as the widget running on the device, clicking the About will display/hide the manifest information area.
Let’s start with the html page. We’re just going to add some div tags into which the values from the manifest file will be inserted.
In the updateManifestDiv method you’ll notice we are using $get. This method is not defined by default so we need to define it in utils.js (the name of this file is not important so long as you include it into your Main.htm file).
This morning I was looking for update to the WWOS Cricket widget which NineMSN published late last year. I had already “purchased” (it’s a free app, so it’s not really purchasing) the widget so I was surprised that it was not listed under My Applications within the Marketplace application on the device. Being a little confused by this I thought it may be specific to my device so I loaded up one of the emulators and again, no applications to install.
After a bit of thinking (actually I went off and did other things) it came to me that it may be to do with the region I have my device set to. For whatever reason when I rebuilt my device last I had forgotten to set the region back to Australia. Similarly, the default region for the emulators is also the US, which is why neither the device or emulator was showing my applications. Sure enough, when I reset my region back to Australia, which requires a reboot, I could again see my applications.
In my opinion this is just confusing – if I’ve bought an application/widget and I’ve signed into Marketplace I should see all the applications/widgets I’ve purchased, regardless of which region my device is currently set to.
For those not familiar with the Marketplace application or haven’t seen the WWOS Cricket widget, here’s a few images to get you started.
Starting with Windows Mobile 6.5.3, developers can create Windows Mobile widgets using Visual Studio.
Given that you can already do most of the development within Visual Studio this would suggest better IDE support for perhaps debugging or packaging your widget…. This is pure speculation but if you want to get a bit of a heads up on widget development using Visual Studio, try the following posts.
The version of Windows Mobile mentioned in the MSDN article and by Mary Jo in Is Microsoft (slowly) picking up the pace with Windows Mobile? must be a reference to some of the leaked builds that I’ve been piloting on my Touch Pro (see New Windows Mobile build with Zooming for the latest ROM I’m running).
So far in this series I’ve covered Getting Started, generating Start Menu Icons and a Gadget Side Note, all with a single static page that will generally display ok on all devices. However, when you get into building more complex widgets and testing on different devices you will notice that what works on higher resolution devices (Eg the HTC Diamond 2 or the HTC HD2) won’t look good on a smaller device (Eg HTC Snap). Whilst you may be thinking “Oh goodness, please don’t tell me we have to handle all the different resolutions differently,” the good news is that for the most part you only really need to worry about two classifications “high res” and “low res” devices. Devices are typically divided into those with a width >=480 (high res) and those with a width<480 (low res).
The easiest way to change the way your widget displays for different resolutions is to use different css files to determine the style of each element. Our widget doesn’t currently use a css file, so lets add two css files in order to handle high and low resolution displays. Actually, while we’re at it we’ll include a gadget.css file which we will use in order to specify the height/width properties that were manually added to the Main.htm file in the previous post. Put all of these css files into a css folder to keep your project tidy.
Note that the gadget.css doesn’t specify the background – instead of having a third layout we are going to combine the highres.css and the gadget.css values. This means that the gadget.css only needs to contain values that are unique to the gadget layout. You could take this approach with the low res display as well but given that most elements/class styles will change between high and low res it's probably easier to manage as two unique layouts.
This is the entry point to Widget code.
And we of course need to implement the WidgetAPI functions in the widget.js file. Note that to avoid confusion we create a WidgetAPI object rather than the existing window.widget object.
Note: After you have installed your widget on a device you don’t need to reinstall or upgrade your widget every time you want to see your updates. Instead you can locate where your widget has been extracted to on the device and simply copy across the files that have changed. For example the widget is currently extracted to \Program Files\Widgets\User\17 so when I make changes, say to Main.htm, I just copy that file across to this folder. Then I just need to exit and restart the widget to see the changes take effect. | 2019-04-23T20:04:49 | https://nicksnettravels.builttoroam.com/?tag=/Windows-Mobile |
It's an unspoken, but well-known rule in the world of street artists and muralists that you never paint over someone else's work.
SOUTHWEST PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It's an unspoken, but well-known rule in the world of street artists and muralists that you never paint over someone else's work.
"Be respectful to other people's work. To appreciate it, and don't go over other people's work unless you can top it," said YOMI, mural artist.
But that's exactly what happened to YOMI's brand new commissioned mural in front of the Philly Homebrew Outlet West.
Surveillance camera video captures the vandals in the act around 3 Friday morning. First you can see the three taggers walk by, each looking over at the mural.
They stop a few feet away and seem to think about it, then two of them whip out the gold and white spray paint and go for it.
"I parked up the road, and then I saw all the tags up on the bridge and I hadn't seen those at all, and then I saw the door over at the tool library, and boom there's that and then the 'NO,' " said James McMillan, business owner.
Business owner James McMillan says he installed the two surveillance cameras partially because of the new mural.
"Oddly enough, it was the same day that we installed the cameras," said McMillan.
He quickly delivered the frustrating news to YOMI, who spent 40 hours creating the mural.
"The text message was like, 'Well that didn't take long,' " said YOMI.
YOMI has completed more than 60 murals in the Philadelphia area over the last three years.
This is the first time one has been tagged.
"Some people will see it, some people will mess around with it, some people will appreciate it," said YOMI.
It's also the first time he'll have to go back and redo some of his work.
"I'm going to go and fix it. That's what it is," said YOMI. | 2019-04-24T12:25:00 | https://6abc.com/news/mural-vandals-caught-on-camera-in-sw-philly/1552705/ |
Generally I'm all about the making rather than the reading, research, reflection and talking myself up. But the studio is still a no go, so I've spent much of the week doing worksheets, crunching numbers....and trying to tackle the mission statement, and concepts such as perceived value and unique selling point. I'm a lost cause when it comes to objectifying my craft like that, but the time has come to be a tad more prepared and organised.
Incidentally, if you don't know what I'm talking about but you have a wee online shop or do the markets, you can go past Makery for ideas on business and marketing specific to small craft business.
Pictured is the latest little top design. I mentioned waaaay back here I would be making it, but then I got stuck into making for swaps and markets and then it was Christmas (do you see what I mean about 'prepared and organised').
In retrospect it was probably rather a rash decision to throw out half my wardrobe. The idea was that it would provide the right amount of tension to get me to put my needs first for once - ha!. That being said I'm really rather happy with this outcome and there is another design, which requires a little handsewing but will post on that soon.
So this week I've been cutting, cutting, cutting - mercifully it is something I can do outside the workshop. I've borrowed the teaching room out the back of the shop I work at. Its just so frustrating to be spinning my wheels as this is a really busy time of year for my bricks and mortar outlet over in Lyttelton (cruise ship season).
Breathe. What will be will be.
p.s. My peg apron tutorial is coming along. I managed to have success in .pdf'ing the file - believe me, this was a big deal. I just want to get some nice process photos - I do think good clear images are key to the whole thing, don't you?
Cute top. While you're doing your deep breaths think "Valuable creative planning time" for the next cruise ship influx. Sometimes you have to find positives.
Gorgeous top- I love the fabric!
Lovely to meet a fellow local blogger - thought we all lived in cyberland! Enjoyed reading your posts.
I too love the top - it's rather 'spesh'. I'm looking forward to reading the mission statement you create to reflect all that is 'The Wardrobe'. | 2019-04-21T02:56:06 | http://notchkas-wardrobe.blogspot.com/2011/01/mission-statement.html |
My tv shuts off after 15 minutes. Turn it back on and it stays on for another 15 minutes and it will keep doing the same. I think it has to do with the timer circuit, ie.. "sleep mode". Any ideas?
i have one that stays on for awile(1-4 hrs) then turns off then you can turn back on after a few minutes then doesnt do it again then it might.. i have one that stays on for awile(1-4 hrs) then turns off then you can turn back on after a few minutes then doesnt do it again then it might..
Day or night. How can I just shut it off. Because I don't use the sleep mode. My TV turns itself off and on whenever it wants Day or night. How can I just shut it off. Because I don't use the sleep mode.
I'm having the same problem. I don't think it has anything to do with the Sleep settings, you can play with them all day & the only benefit you may get is forcing it to stay on for 90 min or whatever instead of 15.
Instead, I'm pretty sure that the problem exists in the sound bar not recognizing that there is an active signal & is shutting off due to what it sees as inactivity (timing out after use). I've come to this conclusion due to multiple complaints of the same problem.
TV comes on, but shuts off after 3 minutes. I must wait at least 5 minutes to get it to turn back on again. TV will ONLY stay on if DVD drawer is OPEN!
dvd is overheating its circuit. Keep the tray open to dry up condensation. then leave TV on standby to keep moisture out.
I think the timer setting in your TV is broken. Try fixing this.
Sony LCD Projection TV turning OFF!!!
I also have a Sony KDF-42WE655 42" Lcd television. We just changed the lamp (bulb) several weeks ago and has noticed that everytime we turn on the television it stays on about 30-40 seconds then cuts off. After about 15-20 seconds it cuts itself back on. Weird!! It must have something to do with changing the bulb!?!? | 2019-04-20T02:21:45 | http://www.fixya.com/support/t118285-tv_shuts_off |

Firstly, the hook was inverted, since this thing was to be designed to bounce along the bottom. So he used a jig hook.
Next, it needed weight. So he dispensed with lead wire that adds bulk and used only tungsten. More specifically two tungsten beads: a larger slotted bead, and a smaller bead to be hidden in the thorax. The slotted bead is tied as far forward as one can get it. The second bead is placed backwards (thread it onto the hook, large hole first), and is tied a millimeter or so back from the slotted bead, leaving a very small space between the two beads for later. To give you an idea, a 2.5mm slotted, and 2mm conventional bead are used on a Hanak wave #14 hook.
A slim tail of just a few squirrel tail fibres is used. Squirrel tail is very durable, so is used in preference to hackle fibres. Squirrel also retains no air.
The body, so as not to be “fluffy”, is from wound “V rib” in small diameters. On the #14 hook, the UTC “midge” size is used. This is wound in tight (stretched) abutting turns up to the small bead, and tied off with enough silk wraps to form a built up area behind the bead. Then a single strand of peacock herl is wrapped over the smaller bead, obscuring it. Two turns is usually enough to do this.
The peacock herl is tied off in that narrow space that we previously left between the two beads. Then a small and sparse black CDC feather is chosen. It is important to choose one with a slender stem. An alternative would be to apply the CDC in a spun loop, but so little of it is required, that it is hardly worth that effort. Instead Andrew normally ties in the feather, then applies some superglue in order to be able to wrap the stem into a bed of glue. Then comes the important part: wrap the CDC a single turn. In fact if the feather is more dense than you expected, use just half a turn. CDC is a floating fibre, so we don’t want to overdo it. Different fibres, with less propensity to trap air could have been chosen, but CDC fibres move so well in the water, and provided they are tied very sparsely, they certainly won’t even begin to slow the sink rate of the fly.
Trevor Sithole was watching this fly being tied recently, and when he looked away for a moment, and then regained his focus on the vice, the fly was complete, and he remarked “What! Is it finished already?” Therein lies the beauty of the thing. It is dead simple and quick too tie.
When it comes to fishing it, it is best left tucked safely in your fly box until you get to either an enormously deep pool, or when the flows are up, the spot where fast water enters a glide or pool. With the small bead size, the “plop” factor is somewhat diminished, but nevertheless, when used in rushing white water, it comes into its own. It is at its very best when you arrive at one of those plunge pools below a cascade of white water. Thrown directly into the fluffy tumble of bubbles, it cuts through the water, descending to the hidden quiet water beneath, where trout are so often waiting.
Tied on #14 and #16 hooks, this fly can be thrown with a 2 or 3 weight, and need not diminish the lightweight experience of a small stream expedition. You can fish small unweighted nymphs and dries, and then upon arriving at a spot that calls for the Troglodyte, switch over to a small one, even on a 6X or 5X tippet, and toss it in right at the top of a rushing chute or into the churning water below a small fall.
Tied in its dark colours (dark brown or black), the fly is particularly effective, and probably represents baetis or heptagenidae nymphs, which are so prevalent on many of our streams. | 2019-04-19T10:59:03 | http://fosaf.co.za/read-Current-186.php |

Re-reading my notes about our time in Myanmar I reminisce about what an amazing time we had there once again.
We flew into Yangon from Bangkok to see a flooded country. This year’s rainy season had been very extreme and we quickly discovered that we would be able to take neither bus nor train to reach the orphanage in Mawlamyine. The authorities decided to re-open the unused tiny regional airport and so we booked tickets, feeling pretty nervous about taking an internal flight. We heaved a sigh of relief when our plane came to a halt on the wet tarmac. After collecting our luggage off a hand pulled wooden cart in the pouring rain, we stood in the mud waiting & wondering where the children were? Finally they arrived, having also been delayed by the floods and it was just so wonderful to see their excited faces and receive their big hugs.
Now that the children are older, the orphanage is quiet during the day as they all go to school. We cannot break the rules and take them out, so our extended outings are reduced to the weekend only. Nevertheless they were proud to have us pick them up from school, show us their classrooms and introduce us to their teachers. We spend the latter part of the days together. This year we brought along some classic educational games and we also taught some of the older ones to play chess. We were surprised at how quickly they developed skill. We were delighted to learn that the oldest girl had excelled at school and will start Law studies at the town’s university. Everyone was so proud of her and we hope she will be an inspiration to the others….
We always go with the flow. One afternoon we had decided to take the smaller children to the park, but before we knew it, everyone wanted to come along and we ended up squeezing 28 of the children into our jeep! They really are so so funny. At the park it was lovely to watch them organize to play games where all of them were included. We could see how bonded they all are and more and more with us also.
Once again, we extend an invitation to you all to pay them a visit.
As always they manage amazingly with the money we bring them and are content with little. We always accompany them once at dawn as they go on their Alms round to collect food from the town’s people. It is especially exciting to see the older ones maturing and continuing to go to school. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for your continued support of this rewarding project, which would not be possible without your help. | 2019-04-19T20:13:45 | http://www.hiberniarestaurant.com/myanmar-orphanage/2018/9/28/update-2018 |

A really useful summary published recently by Robert Copeland in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery looks back at the concept of drug residence time. The core principle, that the drug-protein target lifetime or residence time is the key to the observed downstream pharmacological effect has been developed, discussed (and variously challenged) over time, and this paper contains many useful references to the wide data sets published. (The contradictory views are not really commented upon – although in my opinion most of these relate to concerns of the over-simplification or generalisation of the principles outlined, rather than fundamental disbelief in the ideas).
All of us who work on drug discovery projects are very familiar with the principles of thermodynamic equilibrium assay readouts – XC50s, Kis etc., which are run under closed conditions within a simplified biochemical assay paradigm. We are also all too aware that the real-life situation is considerably more challenging and that there exist many factors which govern drug concentration at the desired site of action.
In considering the lifetime of a drug bound to its protein, we’re basically looking at one of two simplistic models for all these discussions – either a straightforward model in which a molecule binds directly to protein as b below or a molecule binds, causes a conformation change in the protein to induce a better fit – c below.
Whichever is appropriate, the Koff is key to the residence time and generally the downstream pharmacology. The great strength of this review is the number of examples and references that are included, which make it really helpful as a resource to get (back) into this area. The overall message is that SAR should be built up using both Kd values and equilibrium affinity and, that technologies, such as SPR, are now able to provide these data in a timely and sufficient way.
Measuring the kinetics of saquinavir binding to HIV1 protease and associated resistant mutants, found that the downstream IC50 for viral replication correlated well with Koff (or residence time), although the Kon was found to only vary by 2x across the molecule set.
A series of COX inhibitors was found to have COX2 over COX1 selectivity. The COX2 binding was found to model well to an induced fit model and the COX1 binding to the one step model. A slow value for k4 in picture c above was then found to fit with a greater effect seen for binding to COX2 than COX1.
A series of FabI enoyl reductase inhibitors demonstrated a striking correlation between the numbers of animals surviving infection with the given bacterium and residence time, with no correlation at all present to Ki for the target protein.
Similarly, a series of A2a receptor agonists demonstrated a clear correlation of efficacy with residence time and not with Kd.
A very nice study published on BTK (kinase) inhibitors exploited an active site cysteine to prepare a range of molecules as reversible inhibitors with varied electrophilicity. These inhibitors achieved residence times from minutes to a week which correlated excellently with cellular residence and downstream efficacy.
An ex vivo assay of drug-target residence for HSP90 occupancy identified that longer residence times at HSP90 protein translated into greater duration of action in PD models. | 2019-04-22T18:21:17 | https://sussexdrugdiscovery.wordpress.com/tag/equilibrium-affinity/ |
Recently, there has been a lot of talk on Social Media sites, YouTube and Spiritual websites about the Ascension, 12 strand DNA and the New Grid. I have even had students coming to classes worried that they were missing the ascension. Many are thinking that if we do not actually float up and ascend into heaven, they have done something wrong and missed their chance to be with God. These ideas have been shared by healers, channellers and those meaning well I’m sure. However, they are not clear in their own healing journey and quite frankly giving out wrong information. This type of information creates Fear in a person who doesn’t know or who are feeling desperate for the truth. Not only does it create fear but it also creates guilt - guilt that they did something bad and for this they have missed the ascension.
Many individuals woke up in September of 2015, which is being considered the 1st wave. Since then hundreds if not thousands more have woken up. This is wonderful because our world does have so many events happening that are not for our highest good. It’s important we wake up and begin to see, understand and really know the truth.
This ‘awakening’ is stemming from the influx of energy beginning September of 2015 through to now due to planetary alignments. Due to this energy, many people are ‘waking up’ and seeing the world and themselves in a very different way. Besides many posts on Social Media sites, there seems to be many more people now downloading information from the Angels and other entities. Some of these are similar in their message and some are completely different. Some are full with Love and some with Fear but then asking you to choose Love. Choosing Love can prove to be quite difficult when at first they fill you with Fear. It’s a challenge enough for most to release fear. It surrounds us in our friends, family, work, media, news - most everything is fear based. Choosing Love takes courage to go against the flow. Lets make it easier to Love by not giving energy to and sharing Fear based information in our messages to others.
What I have been finding is that many ‘new wavers’ are talking about 12 strand DNA, Ascension and The Grid as if they are new concepts and just happening as of now. I recently read a post that says we are just now being uploaded with our 12 strand DNA. Many of these posts seem to be written by people who have just woken up. However, there are many Lightworkers around the world who have been working with the 12 strand DNA since the early 90’s, working with the Ascension process and building the Grid since early 2006. This is only the light workers I know of yet, I am sure there are many more who have been on this for much longer. The situation reminds me of a child who once they learn to walk and talk they think they have it all figured out. Yet they have only begun the journey - as we know there are many more lessons in life.
At this point, I feel that most importantly we need to know OUR OWN TRUTH. We can also remember and keep in mind that just because someone has ‘woken up’ or begun to ‘channel’ or is offering ‘healing’ does not mean that they are healed of all their issues or that they are seeing through clear lenses. Yes, the lenses are clearer - the truth is shining through and hopefully they are beginning to see their own light shine. However, we have been living in our human bodies for a long time now. Humans take in energy from everywhere around us. If we do not know how to handle and release an energy we stuff it into our 12 strand DNA. This energy still needs to be cleared.
Waking up is like having a dirty windshield where you can’t see anything to using the wipers with no fluid. As the wipers move across the windshield we can begin to see clearer and clearer.

From the puppy room to the quiet room, the late-night study snacks to the upcoming FreeSchool event, the Dalhousie Student Union might appear to be especially in touch with its students’ desires this year.
It’s for good reason. All of these ideas came directly from students through an innovative online platform that’s changing the way the student union interacts with its members.
It’s called SoapBox: a website set up in September to solicit ideas for improving the university. The DSU licensed the product from a startup founded by a group of Ryerson University students, who are marketing it primarily to businesses. Dalhousie is only the third educational institution to try it.
The simplest ideas, such as the book share now operating in the Student Union Building, can become reality within about two weeks. Others aren’t quite so easy.
“Some ideas are a little unrealistic sometimes, such as bringing live tigers onto campus,” chuckles Taylor Quinn of the Sandbox team.
It’s a level of engagement and transparency that wasn’t achievable before. On SoapBox, students and their representatives converse about ideas out in the open. Progress updates happen in real time, and if an idea is rejected, an explanation is given.
At Dalhousie, where turnout in the last student election was 13.8 per cent, students are showing interest in the workings of their union.
The website’s low barrier of entry helps foster that interest, says Sandbox director Becky Richter.
Nursing student Tim Disher was impressed by the straightforward process when he submitted an idea early last term. His suggestion to create an instrument share – a place where students can borrow musical instruments for free – was brought to life in November.
Disher says he would probably have still made the suggestion without SoapBox, but he wouldn’t have gone to the work of rallying support for the idea. The website took care of that for him by putting his idea in the public eye and inviting students to vote for it.
Since its launch, the DSU SoapBox has garnered 182 submissions: an average of between one and two per day. Forty of these have received official responses and 35 have been approved.
Richter considers the project “semi-successful.” After the initial surge of interest at launch, activity on the site slowed. The Sandbox team is now working on a new promotional campaign to build on the momentum gathered from popular SoapBox projects like the puppy room.
If Dalhousie can prove the model works, it could set an example for schools across the country and even for higher branches of government. That’s the hope of Warren Tanner, co-founder of SoapBox makers HitSend Inc.
HitSend recently found its first political client: Toronto Centre MPP Glen Murray.
Like the SoapBox-sourced plan to ban bottled water at Dalhousie, ideas have a way of spreading.
How much control over athletics facilities does the DSU actually have? Aside from meeting with administration, I wonder where they can make the changes you want? | 2019-04-22T09:11:22 | http://unews.ca/online-soapbox-the-secret-to-dsus-ideas/ |

According to Supersymmetry, or SUSY, there is a host of undiscovered new particles out there – at least one for every known particle. The lightest supersymmetric particle is thought to be the constituent of dark matter, which binds galaxies together. The SUSY partner of the heaviest known ordinary particle, the top quark, is thought to play a key role in determining the strength of the weak nuclear force which regulates (among other things) most radioactive decays and the fusion reactions that power the stars. Despite the strong theoretical arguments, however, no evidence of SUSY particles has yet been found.
The LHC performance has been exceeding expectations, delivering proton-proton collisions at a record rate. ATLAS physicists have been eagerly searching the collected data for evidence of the production of the supersymmetric top quark (squark). Theory predicts that the top squark would decay to ordinary quarks, a dark matter particle and possibly leptons (electrons or muons).
ATLAS physicists have been eagerly searching the collected data for evidence of the supersymmetric top quark ("squark").
Recent ATLAS results feature five separate searches for this elusive particle. Each search differs in the number of leptons in the final state, covering all the possible decay modes. Four searches require respectively zero, one, two, or three light leptons (electrons or muons) and the fifth targets decays to tau leptons.
Overall, the data gathered have been found to be consistent with the production of only known particles. This has resulted in the raising of the minimum mass for the top squark which is compatible with the observations. An intriguing small excess of collision events with the characteristics of a supersymmetric signal has been found in the selection with one lepton (see Figure 1). However the mild statistical significance of three standard deviations makes the excess compatible with a background fluctuation. With ATLAS physicists looking at many different selections in search for new phenomena, it is expected that some of them will have a somewhat larger rate than predicted. It’s like rolling two dice over and over – sometimes you’ll roll a double six. More data will be collected soon, allowing us to prove or reject the existence of a supersymmetric signal. Stay tuned! | 2019-04-22T04:46:18 | http://atlas.cern/updates/physics-briefing/further-progress-quest-susy-particles?page=6 |

Two levels of sorghum grain supplementation (2 or 4 lb/day) for"¢steers in an intensive-early stocking program tended to increase average daily gain in direct proportion to increasing supplement level (2.7 and 2.9 lb/day. respectively, compared to 2.5 lb with no supplement). Similarly, grass remaining in the pastures after the cattle were removed on July 15, and at the end of the growing season on October 1, was greater when cattle were supplemented. | 2019-04-24T05:53:26 | https://newprairiepress.org/kaesrr/vol0/iss1/880/ |
On the second night of a seven-game road trip, the Portland Trail Blazers made a stop in Philly to take on the 76ers.
Coming off a double-digit win over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, the Blazers looked to take advantage of the Joel Embiid-less 76ers behind their big duo of Jusuf Nurkic and Enes Kanter, and they did just that.
While the center tandem controlled the offensive glass, Maurice Harkless and Al Farouq-Aminu, who typically fly under the radar, hit their groove.
Here’s a look at everything you might have missed as the Blazers beat the 76ers, 130-115.
In Saturday’s win, seven Blazers scored in double figures. Moe Harkless finally found his spark, dropping 13 points, five rebounds and three steals in the contest. Meanwhile, it was Al-Farouq Aminu, who impressed for the Blazers bigs. He added 15 points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal in the game.
The Trail Blazers were on the rebound attack on Saturday in Philly. Without Joel Embiid, “Nurk and Turk” came alive on the boards. Jusuf Nurkic dropped 24 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in just 24 minutes, while Enes Kanter had 16 points, eight rebounds and four assists in his second game for Portland.
Next up, Portland takes on the Cavaliers in Cleveland. Here's how and where you can watch Monday's game.
The Trail Blazers attacked rebounds Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia the way a pack of dogs would go after cheesesteak scraps over at Pat’s or Geno’s emporiums of the local specialty.
The 76ers were eaten alive on the boards – a 53-33 advantage for Portland that included a whopping 19 offensive rebounds -- and were outplayed at both ends of the court.
The final score was 130-115 but the game was not nearly that close.
Without all-star center Joel Embiid, the Sixers were lost. Portland had 66 points in the paint and 19 second-chance points. The Trail Blazers’ double-barreled center combo of "Nurk and The Turk" -- Jusuf Nurkic and Enes Kanter -- was dominant, just as it had been at Brooklyn Thursday against the Nets.
Nurkic had 24 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in just 23:32. He hit nine of his 13 shots. Kanter had 16 points, eight rebounds and four assists in 20:40.
The inside scoring made up for another sub-par shooting night from three-point range, as Portland made just five of 23 from long range.
And balanced scoring was a big deal, with seven players in double figures. The Blazers moved the ball well enough to get 29 assists while coughing up just 11 turnovers.
That made it a rare night when Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum were not as necessary as usual. Lillard finished with 17 points and McCollum with 15. They each went 1-5 from three-point range. But both are willing passers and Lillard finished with eight assists in just under 30 minutes of duty.
Portland was very attentive on defense in this game, even though the Sixers’ 48.3 shooting percentage speaks to the contrary. Anytime you can hold JJ Redick to 1-10 shooting, you’re doing something right.
Nurkic got into a iittle back-and-forth with Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons and it prompted a quip after the game.
And the big rebounding edge?
Kanter passed the credit around for the big rebound advantage.
PHILADELPHIA – Role players on professional teams rarely get the recognition they deserve, but so far on this Trail Blazers’ seven-game road trip, that’s who is getting a lot of props from Blazers head coach Terry Stotts and the Blazers’ star players.
Portland’s starting forwards Al-Farouq Aminu and Maurice Harkless, who usually go under the radar, were front and center when talking about why the Blazers have started out 2-0 on this East Coast swing.
Aminu finished with the second-highest plus/minus on the team with a +23 only second to Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum’s +24 in Saturday’s game. Harkless finished with the third best, a +22, as the Blazers put on an offensive clinic against the 76ers, beating Philadelphia 130-115.
“Their presence is always felt,” Lillard said, even though to media and fans the tandem might go unnoticed at times.
Playing as a team is what this Blazers squad has always been about, but now with the new additions of Enes Kanter and Rodney Hood along with some much needed-rest from the All-Star break, this Blazers’ team looks like the sky is the limit.
In Saturday’s win, seven players scored in double figures.
“Aside from the new guys and Nurk playing the way he has played these first two games, I think [Aminu and Harkless] have really been a spark for us -- rebounding, defensively, you know, communication, just the activity of both of them out there together is a lot to deal with for opposing teams,” Lillard said.
“I thought Moe Harkless had an outstanding game. He was able to score when he had his opportunities, he made big help (defense) decisions,” Stotts said postgame.
Harkless finished with 13 points, five rebounds, and three steals in Saturday’s win. Aminu added 15 points, six rebounds, two assists, and one steal.
Coach Stotts was pleased with both of his starting forwards and that confidence in both Harkless and Aminu has never wavered.
“I like what they’re doing at both ends. Offensively, they’re playing well. Moe had matchups that he looked for, and we looked for, he was aggressive, finished around the basket. Defensively both of them have always been are, and have always been, like I’ve said for the three years, they complement each other at the defensive end with their switching and their length,” Stotts said.
In Thursday’s win over the Nets, Aminu had a +34, while Harkless recorded a +32 to earn the best plus-minus of the team. That goes to show just how much of a positive impact the duo is making after the All-Star break.
The tandem was getting it done on both ends of the court, as they often do, especially early on.
“[Aminu] showed his versatility. He can guard 1 through 5. He can switch out on centers. He can switch out on guards… That’s the type of versatility from all those guys we need for the rest of the season,” McCollum said.
As for Harkless, it looks as though he is back to his old self.
“I’m just trying to build off the last game, just come out with the same type of mentality, same type of aggressiveness… Just doing things that I can do every night, taking advantage of mismatches, aggressive on the boards, and playing defense,” Harkless said.
Harkless has now scored in double-digits in three straight games.
The 25-year-old small forward has played in just 38 games this season while dealing with a lingering knee issue.
Harkless’ running mate is happy to see his knee feeling so good.
“For me, to see him just being healthy is really nice. I feel like sometimes we forget stuff like that… Injury has kind of held him back a little bit. To see him hitting his groove is nice,” Aminu said.
It was obvious in the locker room after Saturday’s game that Harkless was feeling good again after the jokes he was making.
“Jake [Layman] got everybody going. We were just being aggressive attacking the rim… We’ve got guys like Jake who has a whole lot of bounce, so he got me excited. I went in there a couple of times trying to make something too,” Harkless said with big a smile.
Saturday’s victory improves Portland’s road record to 11-15 and it proves that this Blazers’ team has players who understand their role and their teammates are always quick to recognized their efforts.
Saturday equaled a team win for the Blazers.
PHILADELPHIA – It was a 10am pacific tip-off on Saturday as the Trail Blazers visited the Philadelphia 76ers, but it looked like Portland had already adjusted nicely to the East Coast time change.
Saturday’s game was close throughout the first half, yet the Blazers put up 41 points in the third and cruised to a 130-115 win over the Sixers to improve to 2-0 on their current seven-game road trip and snag their third straight victory overall.
1.Simmons is gonna need to develop a three-point shot at some point, right?
With Sixers All-Star wing Ben Simmons not being a threat to shoot the three-point ball at all meant Maurice Harkless or whoever had the defensive assignment on Simmons at the time was really able to sag off him. You don’t see that hardly at all in the modern-day NBA. With that though the Blazers were able to help off Simmons more and focus on Tobias Harris and Jimmy Butler, especially early on.
What a sequence it was for Jake Layman early in the second quarter.
With Evan Turner out for Saturday’s game because of knee sorness, Layman and Rodney Hood saw the floor a little bit more.
Layman showed once again why he has earned a spot in the Blazers’ rotation.
Layman drove to the hoop hard and finished with a driving dunk that seemed to stun the 76ers crowd at the 10:11 mark of the second. He then followed that up two possessions later with a block on Sixers All-Star Jimmy Butler.
The block on Butler is just another play that proves Layman has made a point to improve on the defensive end. So often, the talk is all about Layman’s offense – his dunks, his back-cuts, his rainbow threes – which makes sense, but people should really start examining his defensive efforts. The stops and the blocks on that end are probably more of a reason why coach Terry Stotts has been giving him even more of an opportunity.
According to the referees in Philly though, Layman was a little too aggressive. He got into early foul trouble, picking up his third foul at the 2:46 mark of the second quarter. Layman still stayed aggressive and since the Blazers started blowing out the Sixers late in the third quarter, Layman wasn’t needed much late down the stretch.
At the end of the third quarter, 17 of the Blazers’ 44 rebounds were offensive. Portland also outscored Philadelphia 50-44 with points in the paint after three, which meant the Blazers were taking advantage of Joel Embiid not playing due to knee soreness.
The 76ers, on the other hand, were unable to get very many extra possessions. At the end of the third period, Philadelphia had just four offensive rebounds and only totaled 23 rebounds at that point.
One last thing – the second half turned into a dunk fest for the Blazers and Philly fans were not happy about it. The crowd let out some loud boos when the Sixers called a timeout at the 10:31 mark in the fourth with the Blazers up 21 and then later in the game as well.
NEXT UP: The Trail Blazers visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night with a 4:30pm PT start time. Our pregame coverage tips off at 3:30pm on NBC Sports Northwest.
PHILADELPHIA – Today marks the second game of a 13-day, seven-game trip for the Trail Blazers. Portland started off the trip with a 113-99 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night.
Today also marks the second of two meetings between Portland and Philadelphia this season after the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Sixers 129-95 on Dec. 30th at the Moda Center with 76ers big man Joel Embiid out of the lineup that night.
Before today’s game, Blazers head coach Terry Stotts and Sixers head coach Brett Brown addressed the media.
Coach Brown discussed the biggest challenges with having five new players in the team’s 10-man rotation – It’s the communication on the defensive end.
The Sixers are looking to talk more and “a lot quicker” especially to contain Trail Blazers guards Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.
There’s no doubt that Philadelphia now has plenty of great shooters, but Coach Brown says even though his team is trying to figure out how to play with each other and at times they might be too unselfish, he knows it’s a good problem to have and they will never complain about having too many scorers.
Coach Brown also believes that Lillard is one of the most underrated players in the league.
“I am and have been a massive fan of Damian Lillard. He does fly under the radar… I think his defense has improved overtime, but his ability to score in a bunch of different ways and his ability to just punish a game if you have a sliver of a mistake is, you know, Steph-like. It is. He can do it with range, he can do it with speed, he can do something at the rim,” Brown said.
Joel Embiid (left knee), Shake Milton (right hand), and Zhaire Smith (left foot) are out for today’s game.
Blazers Injury Update: Evan Turner (left knee soreness) is out for today’s game.
Coach Stotts says you can expect Maurice Harkless, Rodney Hood, and Jake Layman to all get more minutes with ET out.
Philadelphia is starting center Boban Marjanović with Embiid out due to a knee injury. Coach Stotts knows Boban can have a major impact down low.
“I have a lot of respect for Boban. He’s a really skilled big man. He’s got a nice touch, he passes, he affects shots at the rim,” Stotts said.
NBCS NW Coverage: Blazers Outsiders Pregame Show (3:30 p.m.), Blazers Outsiders Postgame Show (immediately after the game).
The Blazers have listed Evan Turner (left knee soreness) as out for Saturday’s game at Philadelphia.
The 76ers have listed Joel Embiid (left knee), Shake Milton (right hand), and Zhaire Smith (left foot) as out.
VIDEO: Did Nurk and Kanter just become best friends? Yup.
VIDEO: Highlights: Long road trip gets started on the right foot!
Their center, Joel Embiid, who sat the game out with a sore knee, may well be the best player in the world. He MUST be, to make the hapless-on-this-night Sixers worthy of a 23-14 record.
Philadelphia, which was just this side of pathetic against the Trail Blazers, shot only 35.4 percent from the field and an incredibly horrific 18.6 percent from three-point range. Portland, meanwhile, worked Philadelphia over to the tune of 59 percent from the floor and 54.5 percent from three – both season highs.
The Blazers’ 34-point victory was their largest of the season and they actually led by 43 at one point. They shot 65.6 percent after three quarters before turning the game over to the end of their bench.
“I was really proud of the way we played in the first half at both ends,” Portland Coach Terry Stotts said.
The Trail Blazers got 35-51 shooting from their starters, with Evan Turner taking over for Maurice Harkless, who was resting a sore left knee. But the big news was that CJ McCollum was able to shoot his way out of a three-point slump that had been hindering him for a few weeks.
McCollum went 13-18 from the field and 4-7 from three-point range. He scored 35 points in just 27:50.
“Overall, I think we played a good game and I made some shots, which made it easier for everybody else,” McCollum said. “It was a big win for us going into a new year and a tough road opponent in the Sacramento Kings.
“I understand how much time I put in and how many shots I put up. I knew the tide would turn eventually.
Sixer Coach Brett Brown pointed to the absence of Embiid and what it meant for his team.
“Just the reality of how much Joel means to the team,” Brown said, “I’ve said, I’ll say it again, I think he’s a defensive player of the year. You know, you feel him, whether you look at the points in the paint, it’s at 62 to 30, whether you look at the rebounding margin (59-36).
Very true, but I think it’s only fair to point out that the 76ers are very talented, even without their center. They have one of the best two-way players in the league in Jimmy Butler, supposedly. Butler went 2-12 from the floor.
They have JJ Redick, an all-time great three-point shooter who was 3-11 overall and 2-7 from three.
They have Ben Simmons, last season’s Rookie of the Year, who managed to go 7-12 from the field but just 5-10 from the foul line.
Simmons has a jump shot that looks like a right-handed player trying to work on his left-handed shots. Except that Simmons is left-handed.
The Trail Blazers, who got double-figure scoring from all their starters but Turner, who finished with 8, did a very good defensive job on the Sixers, one of those teams that insists on beating you with three-point field goals, even on nights when they are not going in for them. They finished a rather mind-boggling 8-43 from that range.
The Trail Blazers head for Sacramento Monday and meet the Kings on New Year’s Day.
Under three minutes into the game, CJ McCollum had picked up two quick fouls and went to the bench at the at the 8:17 mark in the first quarter when Seth Curry checked in for him.
At that point, Portland was up 13-9 over Philadelphia, but it was easy to think it could be a long night for the Blazers and McCollum after having to go to the bench so early.
Not to mention, Portland was without one of its starters with Maurice Harkless (left knee) sitting out in the second night of a back-to-back.
Philadelphia was also without one of it starters—All-Star big man Joel Embiid.
The Sixers missed Embiid in a big way, but McCollum came out of his ‘shooting slump’ in an even bigger way.
“I’ve felt good the last few games. I’m just trying to get into a rhythm. Trying to stay on the court. I got two fouls early tonight, but overall I think we played a good game. I made some shots and I think that made it easier for everybody else,” McCollum said.
The Blazers cruised to a 129-95 victory after scoring 70 points in the first half.
Two quick fouls didn’t slow him down.
McCollum was a perfect 3-for-3 from the floor in the first quarter including making his only three-point attempt.
The Blazers starting shooting guard finished the game with 35 points on 18 shots in just 28 minutes of work. The best part for McCollum – he made 4-of-7 from three-point range and broke out of that three-point shooting slump we’ve seen over the past few weeks.
McCollum’s running mate, Damian Lillard added 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting in the win.
“It was a great performance. I think early in the game I saw that he was making shots. It was going for him... We had a pretty good defensive effort going in as well as a group,” Lillard said.
McCollum has scored 30+ now for the sixth time. If he would’ve played the fourth quarter he would have most likely hit the 40-point mark, which he has done three times already this season.
It was definitely one of those special nights and his teammates recognized it early.
“Just keep feeding him. You know when he gets in one of those grooves… It could be one of those nights that you ride it out and I thought we did that,” Lillard said.
It’s not only fun for fans to sit back and watch McCollum go off, Jusuf Nurkic also enjoys kicking back and watching the show from the bench.
“When CJ got going… When you’re on the bench and you’re looking there, it’s like, ‘man it’s gonna be a light night.’ Anytime somebody has (a good) shooting night it just looks good,” Nurkic said.
Evan Turner got the start in place of the injured Harkless. Turner had eight points and seven rebounds. He was also happy his teammate found his stroke again.
“I know the past few games he’s been a little off, but that’s definitely impressive on his second night of a back-to-back and, you know, we really needed it and I thought he did a great job,” Turner said.
For his career, McCollum is shooting 40 percent from long distance entering Sunday’s game.
McCollum went 22-for-77 (28.6%) from three-point range in the month of December. Before Sunday’s game, McCollum had zero or one three-pointer in six games this past month.
It was just simply missing buckets.
“I felt like I was missing shots. I felt like I was, you know, getting some of the same looks that I’ve been getting my entire life and I wasn’t making them,” McCollum said.
“I figured the tide would turn, eventually,” McCollum added.
It was not only a great shooting night for McCollum, but as a team, the Blazers ended the game shooting 59 percent from the field, including 54.5 percent from three. The Blazers’ 106 points through three quarters are the most points the Blazers have scored through three quarters this season.
Portland is now 6-3 in its last nine games and it was obvious that this Blazers team was relieved to have a blowout win.
“We really needed something like this just to rest and, you know, get the right momentum going and, you know, the biggest thing now is resting up and trying to duplicate it,” Turner said.
The Blazers will now hit the road. Portland will travel on New Year’s Eve with a New Year’s Day game vs. the Sacramento Kings.
Blazer fans should be thankful Portland is playing in a more of a sleepy city and not a party city.
Nurkic joked about being in Sacramento and from the sounds of it, they won’t be raring to go out.
“I’m really happy about that… Sleep at 11 o’clock,” Nurkic said with a smile on his face.
That should mean a well-rested Blazers team on New Year’s Day, which is just what they will need playing against the team who leads the league in pace.
When you lead by as many as 42 points, you're usually going to win the game. That's exactly what the Blazers did on Sunday. Joel Embiid didn't play for the 76ers and the Blazers took advantage of Philly missing its best player. This was the get right game that the Blazers needed, and to beat a good team like this on the second of a back-to-back makes it that much better.
Dwight Jaynes, Trail Blazers' Insider: I know Embiid is important to Philly but that's no excuse for such a poor performance. Sixers were awful and Blazers were on fire, including CJ McCollum, who snapped out of his three-point slump in a big way.
Jamie Hudson, Trail Blazers' Reporter: You could not trust the Sixers' process tonight. The Blazers shot well, more specifically CJ McCollum shot well to lead the charge on offense. As for the Sixers, yes they didn't have Joel Embiid, but early in the 4th quarter Philly was shooting just 17% from three. It was an ugly game for the 76ers. Jimmy Butler was nowhere to be found on the offensive end. Portland was in need of game like this one. To have a blowout victory where you can rest your starters on the second night of a back-to-back is a double win.
Mike Richman, Trail Blazers' Reporter: CJ McCollum busted out of his month long slump in a big way, torching the lifeless Sixers for 35 points in 28 minutes. This was a beat down of epic proportions and a nice bounce back win for the Blazers on the second night of back to back games.
NEXT UP: The Blazers hit the road for a quick one-game trip against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, January 1st. Tip-off is set for 6:00pm with coverage beginning at 5:00pm on NBC Sports Northwest.
It is the second night of a back-to-back for the Trail Blazers as Portland gets set to host the Sixers.
Before tonight’s game Blazers head coach Terry Stotts and Sixers head coach Brett Brown gave updates to the media.
Stotts discussed how he feels that Meyers Leonard is most likely having his best season of his career. He has been pleased with his progression and how confident Leonard has been this year.
The Sixers pose a few challenges for the Blazers with big man Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler and Coach Stotts addressed both players’ strengths.
Coach Stotts also talked about what tonight’s game could look like with Embiid not on the floor.
“I think it changes more for them, than for us. Obviously, the guys will have more of an impact on the game. We’ll see if he doesn’t play… who gets those minutes and how Brett decides to rotate his players,” Stotts said.
UPDATE: Trail Blazers forward Maurice Harkless (left knee) will NOT play tonight.
Sixers Injury Update: Joel Embiid (left knee) was initially listed as questionable, but he has now been downgraded to OUT for tonight’s contest.
Coach Brown says the training staff is not worried about Embiid’s knee soreness.
“We’ll figure out what’s gonna happen tomorrow and go from there. It’s not anything that we’re concerned about – just reacting to, you know, his thoughts and the medical staff thoughts that perhaps it might be best to sit,” Brown said.
The Sixers will start Amir Johnson in place of the injured Embiid. | 2019-04-20T05:20:44 | https://www.nbcsports.com/northwest/tags/philadelphia-76ers |

Staff are nice, services are generally good. Buffet breakfast contains mostly Chinese dishes. Grand cafe is probably understaffed especially during BF time, tables and chairs are not properly cleaned before seated, food is refilled only when it is empty. Gym is good. Unfortunately Can’t stay too long in this hotel as one will get bored.
It was a great stay. Clean & comfortable and staff are professional.
It's good. Most aspects are up to expectations.
Nice New Hotel, need more in house food choices.
Check in was slow and the room wasn't ready when it should have been. Hotels.com said there was a sofa bed in the room, which is why we booked it as we have 2 young children, no sofa bed when we got there, they had the description wrong!!! We eventually got a roll away bed for the children, but it wasn't really big enough. Room service, the main grill, the lobby, the pool, all served the same limited menu, it needs more differentiating between them and the main grill restaurant had a great menu at lunch time, but then a very restricted one in the evening!!! Room was great, nice and big, great view and a huge bath overlooking the sea, but do try to get a high room or you will have to drop the blinds when you get into the bath! Great pools, if a bit cold, shame there is NO swimming allowed on the beach, think this should be down to personal choice and not just a blanket policy. Also the pool bar could have been a great spot for a sundowner, unfortunately there was hardly ever someone to serve there, no stock unless you wanted Chinese beer, and half the view is ruined by a big brick building right next to the bar, not sure what the architect was thinking!!! This all sounds negative, however we had a great time, sunshine, pool, food and drink, lovely grounds! | 2019-04-24T06:29:01 | https://ar.hotels.com/ho603986/ |
Twitter has updated its app to include a new integrated camera. The feature makes it easier for users to take and upload pictures directly within the app.
It could also make the experience of using Twitter more visual, as pictures shot in-app take up more space than images uploaded the regular way. Additionally, text is overlaid on the image, not placed separately above it.
You can access the camera by swiping left on the main Twitter timeline. Once you take a photo, you can add text and a location to the image. Twitter will display this on top of the picture, not separately above it. You can also change the background color of the overlay from within the camera menu.
You can access the same menu by clicking on the compose tweet button and then selecting the camera icon.
The change will likely have a big impact on how your timeline looks. Previously, most images were accompanied by text and were comparatively small.
With the new system, the only text is displayed on the image itself, which puts the focus on the photo. The images also take up a lot more room on the timeline compared those taken outside the app and uploaded.
Another change is that the portrait orientation of pictures taken in-app means they fill up your phone screen when you click on them. You can see how different it looks in the images below.
The new feature may help Twitter compete with more visual social networks like Snapchat and Instagram. If the new camera can get more people shooting media, it may attract users who prefer a visual experience. | 2019-04-18T18:28:04 | https://techgarage.blog/en/twitter-camera-upgrade-could-seriously-change-your-timeline/ |

A waitress at a rural inn rescues an injured man and becomes involved in a complex struggle for dominance between an ancient spirit and the civilization of the Archipelago. Shapeshifting, possession, lies and heroism, battles and brawls, meeting up once again with the slave-taking pirate who ruined her childhood, H. L. Devera's work is one that will attract readers by both great storytelling and steadily improving art.
I am rewriting my review for this comic. The one I did earlier was almost pure cliched hype that probably did the comic more harm then good. I believe that my writing skills have improved, and I will now attempt to give a more thoughtful and contemplative interpretation on why the webcomic Archipelago is so awesome.
To be entirely honest, when I started reading, the comic didn't impress me. The art in some of the beginning pages seems scribbled (oddly, the art decreases in quality on page 21). And then, there's the introduction to the plot: a man wakes up in an unfamiliar location with no memory. I have seen this done so many times, I am sick of it. I almost stopped reading right there.
As for the art I mentioned earlier, it is compensated for by very well-written dialogue. The page where the art quality suddenly drops contains a good joke about eggs. The drama of some scenes draws the eye away from sketchy art. Later, when the art improves (which it does surprisingly quickly), the comic contains scenes with no dialogue to distract from the impressive art. By Book 6, the art is nothing short of Awesome.
And speaking of characters, I would be remiss not to mention Captain Snow, who is possibly one of the most well-written villains I have ever read. He's evil- incredibly so, especially when you consider that this is a kid-friendly comic. And yet, he's likable. He raids and burns an entire village, and then intervenes to save a tea shop. He's the kind of sadistic ne'er-do-well that you love to hate, and yet you like him, even though it;s clear you shouldn't. I can't do him justice in the space of a review that is too long as it is.
Considering that this is a review that is too long and I don't want to spoil the work itself, I won't talk about the strange and wonderful constructed world, the seamless mixture of magic and technology, and the fresh way the comic handles the touchy topic of racism. I will merely conclude that any fan of fantasy will very much enjoy reading Archipelago, even with the whole family. So that's all. Enjoy Archipelago, and good night. | 2019-04-23T14:07:11 | https://new.belfrycomics.net/ent/17216 |
I love being in comfy clothes, I love it way too much; comfy outfits are not good for the waist line! They never feel tight so I can never tell how much weight I have gained until I put on a pair of jeans. My advice is; wear jeans once a week to keep the weight gain under control!
I work from home, this explains how I can always be in comfy clothes. I bought my first co ord two years ago from Zara and I wore it to LFW and I have been a fan of them ever since. Usually I wear the tight flare ones which look great with heels. This one is wide leg and much thicker so it’s really warm. Click here to buy.
My bag was a gift from Designer Exchange, yes I am one lucky girl. I have been a fan of Designer Exchange since day one; the stock is great and I can buy from them with confidence. It is hit or miss regarding the stock but that’s due to the quick turn around. You have to keep calling or popping in if you want a good buy.
For those of you asking what it is like to have a velvet Chanel, the answer is; it’s fine. I already have a yellow Boy bag which you can see here. Of course you have to be extra careful because it’s fabric but they are cheaper than leather so that’s always a plus. I haven’t been particularly careful with this bag and it still look immaculate. | 2019-04-25T03:01:43 | http://www.chouquette.co.uk/mango-knitted-coord/ |

In the summer 2016, Jackson Morris graduated from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa with a BS in Aerospace Engineering. He stayed at UA Tuscaloosa to pursue a master's degree. Jackson won the VFF scholarship twice: once as an undergraduate, and more recently as a masters' student. His interest in aviation and vertical flight originally stemmed from his grandfather, who served in the Navy on aircraft carriers during WWII. Ever since he was very little, he has been keenly interested in anything related to aviation. He first expressed interest in becoming a commercial pilot, then an air-traffic controller. He decided eventually that he wished to design aircraft himself, and began studying to become an aerospace engineer. He has worked for Boeing during the past two summers. During summer 2014, he was a Quality Specialist Intern at the Boeing Dreamliner assembly facility in North Charleston, SC. During summer 2015, he worked as a Manufacturing & Process Engineer Intern in Everett, WA, on Boeing’s Fuselage Automated Upright Build project. He found his experiences in the industry incredible; it proved to himself that he was in the right field, as every day he spent working with aircraft was a joy.
At Tuscaloosa, he participated in undergraduate research concerning the aeroelasticity of dynamic beam structures. He was a member of UA’s Design/Build/Fly project, which they entered in the national design competition in 2016. He is a proud member of Sigma Gamma Tau. Through SGT, he acts as an ambassador on campus to prospective aerospace students, offering tours and demonstrations of our work. Since he first enrolled at UA, the aerospace program has nearly doubled in size thanks to focus of the university to expand the engineering programs. He is incredibly proud to act as a representative of the VFF at the University of Alabama, as well as act as a representative for the next generation of UA graduates in the aerospace industry.
Outside of his studies, Jackson acts in an amateur theatre troupe and performs in the Huxford Symphony Orchestra as a classical bassist.
"Helicopters have always been such a fascinating subject for me. When I came to university, I had the pleasure of taking a class on micro air vehicles, and joined a team that conducted quadcopter experiments. My work with vertical flight technologies is limited, but I aim to be more involved in the field as I continue my studies. I’m particularly fascinated by the amazing, unconventional configurations that enable the vertical flight field to continue to change as time goes on. It’s undoubtable that advances in rotorcraft technology will be key in allowing new, efficient uses in aviation for humanity."
"I learned about the VFF scholarship through the Redstone Chapter of the AHS. I first received an AHS scholarship in 2013, and at that time was only a sophomore at the University of Alabama. The AHS-Redstone scholarship offered direct mentorships arranged through its chapter members. Mr. Raymond Handy, the AHS Scholarship Coordinator at that time, was able to put me in direct contact with Mr. John Schibler, who is Boeing’s Chief Engineer of their global Attack Helicopter program! I will be forever grateful for the opportunity this AHS scholarship provided me. In subsequent years, the AHS-Redstone scholarship coordinators suggested that I consider applying for the VFF scholarship (as well as applying for the local chapter AHS scholarships), since I now had additional university research and internship experience.
I’m incredibly honored to be the recipient of a VFF scholarship. The financial assistance has allowed me to graduate with as little debt as possible, but I am also incredibly grateful for the industry exposure that the American Helicopter Society has provided. I know the opportunities I have had were greatly assisted by the recognition I have received from the AHS.
Furthermore, a relatively new professor at the University of Alabama, Dr. Jinwei Shen, an active AHS member, was brought to UA in 2013. He is my current professor for my senior seminar and flight dynamics classes. So I feel that my connections with AHS are real ones. Lastly, and probably most importantly, I feel that the connections I can make in the aviation industry, thanks to these scholarships and my AHS membership, allow me to call upon any AHS member for advice, whenever I might need it."
"I plan to return to the aerospace industry. I love working with aircraft of any kind, and hope to work designing and testing new aircraft and rotorcraft technologies. I also aim to obtain my Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering; currently I’m deciding between completing mine immediately after university or getting more involved with the industry first."
2017 Update: Jackson is now a MS student at UA Tuscaloosa. | 2019-04-19T18:36:30 | https://vtol.org/education/vertical-flight-foundation-scholarships/featured-biographies?studentID=175 |

Sir Bannister Fletcher didn’t even mention the cathedral Saint-Étienne de Metz in his seminal text “The History of Architecture on the Comparative Method” perhaps the ultimate textbook of its kind for more than a century. It’s a curious omission one would have thought if for no other reason that the forty something metres height of its nave, and remarkable six and half thousand square metres (yes that’s more than half a hectare) of stained glass, but then the one questioning Sir Bannister’s decision still has nightmares about his final year architectural history exams sat almost half a century ago and may therefore not be in a position to criticise.
Perhaps it was because of this omission, (or perhaps because of the nightmares!) we studiously ignored the place during our first few dozen visits to the city, but we can ignore it no more. Now each time we pass we poke around inside, to discover a little more, taking time to read the carved graffiti in the darkest of its corners, (surely in the eighteenth century that would have been a capital offence?), smug as we watch the people discovering it for the first time, wondering what they are going to do with their hundreds of photographs, without for a second wondering what we are going to do with the thousands we already have. Yet the quest continues to find a souvenir more satisfying than the last.
It’s not just the enormity of the thing, or the sheer impossibility of its structure, it’s trying to come to terms with it having been here for a thousand years, that all those years ago someone could conceive it and build it and preserve and protect it, to say nothing of the price that must have been paid over that thousand years in terms of currency and the community. For all of that we can still walk around inside and marvel at it and scribble our names on the columns in black indelible ink…. apparently.
So often we think of people in previous centuries as primitive, and then we have to ponder the erection of magnificent structures like these, without modern tools or modern engineering tools. Wow!
I love the phrase "cathedral thinking." Those who conceived and initiated the cathedrals did so, knowing that they would not live long enough to see the construction finished. In our world, businesses are run quarter by quarter. Who thinks long term?
Amazing height and architectural genius in these beautiful vaulted ceilings! Achieved with engineering plans that required mathematical and technical genius way beyond their day with the primitive tools they had on hand or invented! | 2019-04-25T18:05:07 | http://fadingmemories.peterhyndman.com/2017/05/mind-boggling-friday-may-12th-metz.html |

Data management (aka enterprise information management) encompasses techniques for data quality, integration, and governance. It includes all the practices necessary to manage data as a critical enterprise asset.
Data quality includes techniques for name-and-address cleansing, data standardization, verification, profiling, monitoring, matching, house holding, and enrichment. Data integration (DI) acquires data from sources and transforms and cleanses it. ETL (extract, transform, and load) is the most common form; others include ELT, customer data integration (CDI), data federation, database replication, and data synchronization. Data integration may be analytic or operational. Data governance boards or committees create and enforce policies and procedures for data usage and management. | 2019-04-25T19:56:28 | http://xpertservice.com/services/data-management.html |
Making an effort to do regular home improvements is important, whether you’re trying to increase its resale value or just make it a nicer place to live. Even small projects have the potential to bring big dividends. In this article, we share great tips on making solid improvements to your home.
When choosing between stained and painted baseboards, many feel that stained woods are more universally appealing. This type of baseboard oozes classic appeal, and you can never go wrong with wood’s warm ambiance. Stained baseboards will also hide scuffs and dings better than painted wood, and touch-ups to scratches will blend in more easily. There are several colors to choose from so you can match any decor.
Before you begin renovating, devise a firm and detailed plan. Planning is very important for your project and budget, as it reduces the chances for ineffectiveness. However, remember should you change any part of your plan, it will increase the cost of your project as well as the completion time of the project. Contractors will be much happier if you know what you want before construction starts.
If professional designers are out of your budget, do some research yourself. The Internet, library, home improvement store and bookstores are great tools for increasing your knowledge. You can take a page out of a magazine as a model for what you would like for your home’s look. You may also be able to pick up other ideas for projects as well.
Take steps to ensure that your floors are protected from any stray drips while painting. Doing so will prevent wet paint from staining your floors or carpets. One inexpensive and effective way to protect flooring is using layers of old newspapers. Plastic sheets and paint cloths will also work.
Don’t throw out your bedroom doors just because they’re dirty. Remove doors from their frames and sand them until you can see bare wood. Next, use a roller to paint the door with an oil-based paint. Buy fancier doorknobs if you want to give your door a new feel.
With the right knowledge and know how, you can find many options for improving your home. This article is packed with great ideas for making your home improvement dreams a reality. Read this article thoroughly so you can learn as much as you can from it.
If professional designers are out of your budget, do some research yourself. Review online resources, books and magazines to get ideas. You may find the perfect inspiration for your entire home improvement project in a single magazine layout. Resources such as these can also help you save money on cheaper projects.
Without spending too much money, you can make freshen the appearance of kitchen appliances. Meanwhile, stainless steel is all the rage, but why throw out your trusty fridge because the color doesn’t suit your taste? You can purchase inexpensive spray paint for your appliances and paint them almost any color imaginable. You can update your kitchen and give your appliances a uniform look.
Use wallpaper to create a great looking bookcase. First, select a wallpaper pattern you find unique and attractive. Only put the wallpaper on the back of the bookcase; you will see the wallpaper behind the books. This tip can give an old bookcase a new look and create a visually appealing focal point in any room.
Add some bling to a boring corner by hanging big costume jewelry pieces on a coat rack. Use it just for costume jewelry, not expensive pieces. Jewelry that is displayed nicely can be a lovely decorative touch to any room. This method has the added benefit of keeping your pieces free from tangles and knots. Choose the pieces you wear most often to keep within convenient reach.
Keep a drain snake on hand to save yourself money. This will reduce the need for buying drain cleaners. These tools aren’t for the totally uninitiated, so it may be wise to have a professional show you its proper usage once prior to using. Get a snake that’s the proper size so you don’t cause any damage.
Many people that build homes don’t spend too much money because they use solid wood cabinets or particleboard ones that don’t have any kind of hardware. Thankfully, you can easily purchase cabinet handles, knobs and drawer pulls online or at a local hardware store. You can choose from designer accents, pulls that have a vintage look or modern knobs which can be put in place in minutes.
Getting information about home projects, with all the information out there, can be overwhelming. Without some basic information, you risk a project that costs you more time and money than you would like. The article below can help you get started with a number of home improvement tasks the right way.
Does your porch need a new paint job? It is important that you do not scrimp on quality when purchasing this exterior paint. Make sure that you use similarly based paints together, such as putting a new oil-based paint over an old one. Likewise, match water-based or latex paints together when putting a new coat over an old one. An oil-based paint is better for trims and will last a long time but you should use a water-based paint for decks or floors since oil-based paint can become slippery in the winter.
Save money on kitchen remodeling by refinishing your current cabinets instead of replacing them. Add a fresh coat of paint to the cabinet bases, and replace the doors and the hardware for a whole new look. It is a more affordable way to improve the look of the kitchen.
Do not get rid of your doors because they look dirty. Remove the door from its frame, then sand it until its bare wood is visible. Next, purchase whichever oil-based paint you like and use a paint roller to paint the door. For a quick update, consider getting new doorknobs.
Attaching two PVC pipes is a simple process that requires PVC primer and PVC cement. These products are recommended in order to keep your pipes from leaking, as other cements and glues will not work. The surfaces of the pipes should also be water-free.
Things like chipped paint, water damaged ceilings, and rotting decks are things that are easy to spot in any property that you’re looking into buying. Have a professional inspector look for structural damages, electrical problems, bad ventilation or roof defects. You’ll save money in the long run by taking this important precaution.
Do not hire a contractor without checking their references first. You will be allowing someone to come into your home and make changes; therefore, it is important to check them out thoroughly. You need to do a background check and make sure they are reliable.
If you have cords on your blinds, cut of the extra. Long or dangling cords pose a safety risk to small children and pets, who may become ensnared. Ensure that you have a sufficient length to operate the blinds, but eliminate any unneeded length from the cords. By removing it you are preventing a potential accident before it occurs.
An air conditioning system is not very attractive on its own, but there are various ways to lessen its unsightly appearance. Conceal it a bit with structures such as wooden trellises or latticework. Decorative grasses, including pampas grass, also do a good job at concealing air conditioners, but don’t let the grass get too close to the unit.
Given all of the information resources at the homeowner’s fingertips today, choosing the best home improvement advice can be tough. Home improvement can be unnecessarily overwhelming if you lack the right information. You will be able to use some of the information discussed below to make home projects more manageable.
There are many small projects that can improve the value of your home. If you are actually reselling your home, try a few small-budget improvements. It is not very hard to transform your house, outside and in, with an easy paint job. This is simple and can increase the value of your home.
Use these two steps to make your ceiling look higher. You can paint stripes on your wall or add a tall floor lamp. Adding this to your rooms will create an optical illusion for your eye to follow. The eye focuses on the tall lines, causing the ceilings to seem higher.
Recycling shoe boxes is an excellent way to add storage to a room. Use any wallpaper you have left, or any fabric, to cover the boxes with. This could be a good way to add drama to the rooms in your house, and it will also serve as a good storage solution.
Stained wood is a great product to choose for replacing baseboards. The warmth of stained wood will add value to your home. Stained baseboards will also hide scuffs and dings better than painted wood, and touch-ups to scratches will blend in more easily. The numerous colors of stain available ensure that you will find the right color for your home.
It is possible to give your kitchen a better, more current look without becoming bankrupt in the process. If you would like to have a fashionable stainless steel finish, there is no reason to get rid of your perfectly good refrigerator. Consider buying appliance spray paint to color your appliances in any hue you can imagine. This can dramatically improve the style of your kitchen in just a day’s time.
Check out nearby open houses for inspiration. There, you can see how others have been using the newest colors and styles to decorate their homes. A professional decorator is often the inspiration for the looks that you see, so you can get great ideas without a lot of hassle.
The caning in your chair will sag over a period of time. There’s an easy way to revive the caning in your chairs. Wet a sponge and apply it to the bottom of the caning that’s sagging. Be sure the water is warm. The water should be let to dry out your caning overnight. Continue doing this until the process is complete.
If you want to inject tranquility into your home, use light, calming colors in shades of green and blue. The furnishings should be primarily covered with linen fabrics. Avoid heavy fabrics, including brocade. Use candles, diffusers, potpourri and other home fragrance products to create an atmosphere that enhances your tranquility.
Some homeowners never get around to improving their home. They could be considering expenses or hassles and mess when it comes to home improvement projects. But home improvement does not have to be difficult. This article will give you some terrific information to help take away some of the fear of beginning your home improvement endeavors.
Add weather stripping to doors and windows to give your home’s energy efficiency a big boost. This fix costs next to nothing, and it makes your home much more comfortable. Not to mention, it saves you money. You are certain to notice the decrease in drafts on cold evenings.
Without much decoration and personality, simple lamp shades are sometimes very boring. By using stencils, creativity, and paint, you will be able to transform your boring lampshade into a masterpiece. You can give life to your home, as it can take away the boring environment you previously had.
You need a drill when you’re going to tackle home improvement projects. You can make holes and drive screws of any size. If you are purchasing a cordless drill, opt for one that’s a minimum of 9 volts. Additionally, you should have a variety of drill bits and screwdriver heads.
Your bathroom is another important part of your home. Most rooms, like bedrooms and living rooms, can easily be customized by buyers to fit their style. However, you want to make sure the bathrooms are in good condition. Install new sinks and tubs. If you have linoleum floors, switch to tile.
Add exhaust fans to high moisture areas, such as bathrooms, cooking areas, and laundry rooms. By getting rid of moist air, you can limit the opportunity for mold to grow in the house. Additionally, it will prevent damage to hour home that is associated with excess moisture, like rotting wood.
Most homes do not have natural lighting in the basement. Be sure you make your basement more livable by placing artificial lighting in good positions there. If you luck out, you have have high, protruding walls from ground level in your basement. If so, you may be able to install windows that bring in natural lighting.
You need to check your gutters on a regular basis, especially if you live in an area with a lot of trees. If you have a leak in your basement the first thing you should do is check your gutters, they could be clogged. Clean your gutters to avoid this type of matter.
Follow the colors of an item of furnishing in the room to be painted. Be it the upholstery, or a rug, any item will do as a base for your color scheme. For instance, if there’s a rug with red, yellow and green shades, pick a dominant color from the three which can be utilized in more than 50% of that room. You should use three colors, one bold and then a secondary color, then some accents. | 2019-04-22T10:16:39 | http://theatersathome.com/tag/advice/ |

Ross Rubin, NPD Techworld: I'd like to distinguish between two trends that the digital transition brings us. One is quality of experience, which you're speaking to in terms of the immersion, the home theater, the speakers and the large flat-panel or microdisplay TV. The other is the flexibility of media and moving it around, and I don't think they're always on the same parallel path.
One of the things I've been struck by at CES is that after many years of talking about the notion of a home network, we're finally seeing vendors actually step up with products that are network-aware. Companies are starting to embrace power line standards for moving products across network, and we'll see faster wireless standards this year for moving stuff around.
In terms of getting that stuff around the home, I think we're seeing a greater commitment by the manufacturers to embrace this, but not necessarily moving in tandem with that quality experience, which for now remains primarily a local experience, that living room experience.
One of the issues that retailers face is bridging those two things, because today it's pretty straightforward to bring home a DVD, pop it in and enjoy a high-quality experience once it's all been set up. Throughout 2006 and beyond it's going to start to become easier to get a photo or piece of music off your PC, but it's not necessarily going to be easy to have your cake and eat it too in terms of bringing those two together. That's where the opportunity lies.
Dan Schwab, D&H Distributing: The gaming consoles are one way into the home that's already in the living room. You see what Microsoft and Intel are doing with Viiv and Media Center this year. That's the first time you really start seeing the usage models. Heretofore not many of the retailers or tier-one OEMs have been driving that in their ads, with all of the functionality. I think you're going to see that more and more this year, which is going to bubble up the consumer demand.
There's not one format. Some people are going to have home servers. Some are going to be running it off their gaming consoles. I don't think there really is one clear winner, which is very healthy for the industry. That's why they look to a lot of the people in this room as experts for advice, just like on the DVD formats. If there is always a clear winner, over time things become commoditized and there are fewer opportunities for the entire marketplace.
Joe McGuire, Tweeter Home Entertainment Group: We've done a fair number of home installs through Media Center PC and partnered up with Microsoft to experiment with our store here in Las Vegas. What we learned is that Media Center PC in that context is not an over-the-counter retail product. We would tell you that in that context, Media Center PC is absolutely a high-end install product.
We found that it will operate just fine to manage content. But the way that it interconnects with the other devices in your house, and the amount of programming care and feeding that needs to happen to make it a robust installation, it is still hard to do. Even as far as that technology has come — not just for the server but for all of the disparate pieces that it needs to talk to and be aware of — it still requires frequent truck rolls back to the customer.
Many of us, particularly those who have a teenager living at home, own $1,000 of digital content stuck on a hard drive someplace. What people now want is a shared experience, and to be able to move the content around to where they are. The technology exists today to do all of that, but it's expensive, and it's hard to do it in a robust way so that your house works. Just like we all used to joke 10 years ago about the blue screen of death, nobody wants to reboot their house. The tolerance and patience for that simply doesn't exist, and so the technology around how to make that happen still has a couple of cycles to go before it becomes widespread so that far more people can do it.
You can enjoy the ability to seamlessly move content around your house today, but you're going to spend $40,000 or $50,000 in order to do it, which puts it into a realm where it's out of the reach of most people.
Richard Glikes, HTSA: Give us a call.
Rubin: The competencies involved in those kinds of installations are different from what we've seen in the traditional custom install channel, where a lot of the solutions that are still available now are based on that analog world. Stringing analog S-video cables around the house is very reliable, but it isn't going to necessarily be able to grow and expand and bring in these new kinds of services that you get as you start introducing a PC, like satellite radio, Internet protocol television and other new sources of content that are finding a variety of ways into the home.
McGuire: Some of the very first people that will use that technology are the installers. Our installers couldn't be more excited that you can now reliably distribute audio over an 802.something network. They couldn't be more excited that there is actually a lighting control that uses ZigBee. All of a sudden the number of miles that you're running inside of somebody's house is getting cut out by technology, which is actually the start of the trend that will take those jobs that now are $50,000 jobs and start to move them to $10,000, $15,000 and $20,000 jobs.
That still sounds like a tremendous amount of money, but you're going to see the cost of having that benefit in your house get cut in half very quickly. The reality is that people will start to treat that like any other home renovation, like another decoration. If you're going to redo a room, for anybody around the table who has done it, $20,000 is not an unusual amount to spend.
I think you're going to see the install channel itself among the first to embrace some of these technologies because it will make their jobs easier. Being on your back in a crawlspace or doing the rafter dance because you're trying to get wires across is hard work. If you can accomplish the same task and not have to do all of that, even though you'll still have to do some of it, it will make your installation easier and give you a more robust solution for the customer.
Where now maybe you have to send a crew of two or three people to live with somebody for a week or two, you might be able to take that down to just several days because you're using technology to make the job simpler.
Michael Vitelli, Best Buy: Best Buy today has almost two independent home service teams, one being the Geek Squad. The way I think of it is — if it's wireless, it's the Geek squad. If I'm cutting a hole and pulling wire, it's the home installation team, which we decided to bring in-house over a year ago to make sure we were using only our own employees.
What's interesting is that it's becoming more common that it's a pair that ends up going to the home as you step up the installation: the person who's skilled in the aesthetics of doing some of the work and then someone who has that technical knowledge of networking. That's a great team to send. For the basic network things, the Geek Squad can go out and do that, and for the simple home installations, i.e., “I want my plasma TV on the wall,” we have a person that is just doing that.
It is going to get increasingly more complex. It will be interesting over the next couple of years. | 2019-04-26T08:44:47 | https://www.twice.com/retailing/will-pcs-rule-custom-install-roost-6201 |
Backup to stay unaffected by ransomware should be the smartest way. If your computer attacked by ransomware, you can use the backup to retrieve your data immediately.
Ransomware becomes a hot topic recently, because of the new ransomware WannaCry. Ransomware has been defined as a type of malware that carries out the cryptoviral extortion attack from cryptovirology that blocks access to data, and demands a ransom for decryption message to unlock the files encrypted. For example, recently, the prevailing ransomware WannaCry is such a ransomware that once inflected, the files will be encrypted, and the criminals behind it will demand a certain bitcoin (usually worth $300) to recover all your files. The WannaCry Ransomware made a huge influence around the world. Meanwhile, it put the topic “how to defense against ransomware” in the highest wave.
1. Use some software like Windows Defender, MBAM free, WinPatrol free to prevent from ransomware attack.
2. Be suspicious of emails, websites, applications.
3. Always install updates, update your operating system, software, apps frequently.
4. Block Windows port 445 or other port.
You can search a lot of ways to stay unaffected by ransomware. However, there is not a 100 percent guarantee that after done the things, your computer will not be attacked by ransomware. Thus, backup, becomes the smartest way to stay unaffected by ransomware.
Why backup is the best smartest way to stay unaffected by ransomware? You may asked like that. Ransomware will attack your computer and encrypt your operating system or important files for ransom money. Like the recent WannaCry ransomware, if your computer inflected by it, and you backed files up before, you will be umaffected by ransomware--you can just remove the ransomware and delete the encrypted files, then, recover files from the backup image directly. The ransomware will not affect you and you can ignore the ransom silently.
But how to backup to protect data safe from ransomware?
First, you need to figure out what should you backup. Indubitable, your personal files should be backed up, cause they are irreplaceable. Besides, it is necessary to backup system if you do not want to reinstall OS when you meet some inevitable situations.
Tips: WannaCry ransomware will only encrypt important data, like documents, pictures, or other data, it won’t encrypt the folder under the root directories of C:\ drive like Windows, Program files, etc. So here we do not need to backup system.
Actually, speaking of backup to defense against ransomware, the AOMEI Backupper Free will help a lot. AOMEI Backupper Free is a freeware especially designed for WannaCry and other ransomware. No matter your PC is affected or unaffected, you can use it to backup data onsite or offsite for you. Install your external hard drive to your PC, and download AOMEI Backupper Free.
If your PC is unaffected, you can use it to backup data to external hard drive directly.
Step1. Select I Want to Backup.
Step2.Then, it will show you a concise interface, select File Backup.
Step3.Choose the files/folders you need to backup at Step1, and choose the external hard drive your prepared as the destination disk at the Step2.
Step4. Before clicking Start Backup, you can clickSchedule option to set up an automatic backup for daily, weekly, monthly instead of backup manually. After all settings, clickStart Backup and wait till the progress reaches 100%.
If your PC is affected, you can select Create Bootable Media to create a bootable media first.
Then, it will show you the wizard of create bootable disc. Select one (recommended) and click Next.
Here you can specify the storage media: ISO image file, CD/DVD or USB Device. Here is creating a USB Boot Device. Click Next.
It will create a bootable USB drive. And you can boot your computer from the bootble USB and backup data to external hard drive with AOMEI Backup Free.
No one can promise that there will not appear ransomware anymore. Backup should be the smartest way to stay unaffected by ransomware, no matter what kind of ransomware. With the backup, you can restore data once you attacked by ransomware. | 2019-04-23T01:08:11 | https://www.backup-utility.com/anti-ransomware/backup-to-stay-unaffected-by-ransomware-4125.html |

This is that time of year where we particularly look for such revelation, await some new perception, hunger for something fresh and hopeful and new; we have already lived through the shortest day and the longest dark night, and celebrated the big feasts of Christmas and New Year’s, and the deep cold of winter is settling into our bones, even as each day is noticeably longer than the one before. The time is right for Epiphany in all senses of the word; to reflect upon both the reality and the metaphor of the visit of the Wise Men bringing their rich gifts to the Son of God in a manger, to wish to experience that flash of personal insight that leads from or leads to the hopeful resolution made at the top of the year.
In all senses of the word, Epiphany is a gift; the gold, frankincense, and myrrh brought by strangers from afar to honor the birth of a King born in a stable; the unanticipated parting of the psychic curtain, allowing the light of truth to illuminate the winter-dark corners of the soul as it cries for such light.
We can seek our epiphanies by studying the lives of saints, heroes and scholars for lessons we can use; we can open ourselves to the unexpected, the unbidden, the unearned, the mystical magical gift of light that somehow comes when we need it most. I’ll take both kinds, thank you very much; both kinds have saved my life many times over.
I wish you epiphanies on this sacred feast day. Let the light illuminate you, through and through. | 2019-04-18T13:17:51 | https://ckswarriorqueen.wordpress.com/category/new-years-day/ |

They contain a good amount of protein, no fat, and surprisingly little starch.
They have a mildly sweet flavor from fructose, so they are a better choice for people with type 2 diabetes than grains or other starchy vegetables.
They are a good source of many important nutrients, including potassium, iron, fiber, niacin, thiamine, phosphorus and copper. Not to mention loads of fiber!
They are a great plant to place in your garden: easy to grow and super pretty!
They are easy to cook and taste really good.
So, like I said before, I was first introduced to sunchokes when I began receiving them in my CSA boxes. About 5 pounds of them so far this year. I have already found three great ways to prepare them, and I suspect I am not done yet. But let me share what I have learned so far.
PREPARATION As you can see in the pictures above, sunchoke tubers are knobby, gnarly, bumpy-looking things. For all that, they are surprisingly clean and have a very thin and delicate skin. So just leave it alone! I simply rinse them off and give them a light scrubbing with a vegetable brush.
The first time I received sunchokes in my delivery, I happened to be making a pot roast with onions and carrots in a low-heated crock pot . I rough-chopped my scrubbed sunchokes and just dumped them on in with the rest of my dinner for the remaining 2 hours or so of cook time. And they were great! Not much more to say about that.
Another time I took about a pound of small, round sunchokes (already rinsed and scrubbed) and quartered them into bite-sized chunks. I mixed them with about half a pound of baby carrots and drizzled them with maybe a tablespoon of melted coconut oil. I sprinkled them with salt, pepper and a little dry seasoning (in this case it was a Ranch mix, but you could use anything you like,) spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil, and roasted them in a 450 F oven for 20 or 30 minutes. Yum!
I steamed almost 2 pounds of whole sunchokes (rinsed and scrubbed) with 5 cloves of garlic until softened.
I loaded the hot, cooked sunchokes and garlic into my food processor with 4 tablespoons of butter and pureed them until they were, well, as smooth as sunchokes are going to get! There is a lot of fiber in those skins, so the finished dish has a rustic quality. And it is very, very delicious!
So, here you see a simple meal of baked tilapia, roasted sunchokes and carrots, and sunchoke puree. All garnished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
I still have a few of those crazy little tubers left, so who knows what I'll try next? Crispy sunchoke chips? A cheesy sunchoke gratin? Sunchoke hash? You'll just have to wait and see.
I've never heard of sunchokes before. Your post caught my eye at the mention of a CSA. I'm so ready to find one in our area. Like you mentioned, I think it would be wonderful for the exposure to new items. :) Thanks for sharing... I'll have to keep my eye open in the market now!
Do it! We have been so happy with our weekly CSA deliveries. It forces us to try things we'd never have chosen for ourselves, and inevitably the whole family ends up loving something new. I invite you to stop by once a week and see what comes to my door! Thanks for dropping by! | 2019-04-25T22:52:33 | http://grannyfab.blogspot.com/2014/04/sunchokes-three-ways.html |

How you feel about yourself is your responsibility, not that of others. You are responsible for valuing yourself. If you are struggling with poor self-worth, you’ve most likely internalized negative feedback that you’ve received from others and let it eat away at your self-esteem. The only one who can change that mood is you. With a little practice, you can turn things around.
Being responsible for yourself requires effort and practice. It’s easy to blame others for your problems; that doesn’t make them go away. Hoping that someone will come along and make everything all right is not the right path, either. You must be responsible for your own well-being. To reach a healthy level of self-esteem, you have to be ready to take charge of your own self to change what is bothering you.
You need to accept who you are and be confident about your decisions and behavior. Think for yourself by actively choosing to deflect negative influences in your life. Don’t blindly accept that negative information. Change it. Only you can do that.
Acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the choices in your life and the path you take.
Accept that you are responsible for what you choose to feel or think.
Be accountable for your decisions, priorities and actions.
Recognize that it is not good for you to depend on others to make you feel good about yourself.
Accept that you cannot blame others for the choices you have made.
As you enter adulthood, realize that it is you who determines how your self-esteem will develop. Self-responsibility will help you achieve satisfaction in your life and help you improve your self-esteem by learning that you are not responsible for others actions, only your own.
Taking responsibility for yourself means you must also know your limitations. There are times that you are powerless to achieve the results you want. You need to determine which parts of a situation you have control over, act on that part and let go of the rest. Another part of self-responsibility is establishing healthy boundaries with others.
Taking on undeserved burdens from others is an act of irresponsibility toward oneself. In order to improve your self-esteem, you need to establish healthy boundaries with friends, parents and others.
Accepting others’ burdens only contributes to a lack of responsibility for your own well-being. Setting firm boundaries in relationships with others can help preserve self-responsibility and prevent co-dependency.
You are probably more responsible in some areas of your lives and less responsible in others. Although total self-responsibility may be unachievable all the time, you can learn to operate more self-responsibly if you become aware of the negative issues affecting your life and take action to correct them.
In most cases, you will know what you need to do. It’s just a matter of identifying and acting on the situation. If you practice taking responsibility for yourself day by day, you will develop the type of skills that you need to achieve, and maintain, responsibility for the self you are. | 2019-04-18T17:19:45 | https://www.borntobeworthless.com/responsibility-for-the-self-you-are/ |
Among Latin Americanists, Redemption of Ham (Modesto Brocos y Gómez, 1895) is an arrestingly familiar artistic representation of race mixture in Brazil. The appeal of Brocos’ allegorical treatment of the enigmatic Old Testament tale known as the "Curse of Ham" is conventionally framed around the troubled history of racial thought and anti-black racism in post-emancipation Brazil. Paradoxically, Redemption remains thinly contextualized in the canvas’ immediate historical context of gradual abolition and Brocos’ experiences with formerly enslaved black people. This talk looks anew at Redemption and its author to explore the entwined destinies of slave emancipation, race, and fine arts in the largest and most enduring slave society of the Americas.

Previously I blogged on another non-Christian characteristic of Adventism, their clinging to the Old Covenant and confusion about where the New Covenant fits into their theology. Galatians 4 seems to classify Adventists along with Muslims and Jews, as Hagar clinging to the law given at Sinai, while Christians, or mainstream Christianity, is Sarah, who accepts the promises of Christ. I asked elsewhere if Adventism teaches a deficient Gospel.
Discussion with former Adventists and current Adventists has led me to rethink the Seventh-day Adventist claim to be truly Trinitarian Christianity. This has profound implications. If Adventism is not truly Trinitarian in the mainstream Christian sense, it would not, according to Christianity’s self-description, be a Christian religion. Like Islam and Jehovah’s Witnesses, it would be a non-Christian religion or, at best, a semi-Christian religion.
Christianity self-defines as Trinitarian, believing in one God, one divine being with one substance, in three distinct and inseparable persons, all co-equal, co-eternal, with Jesus Christ being God the Son, fully human and fully God.
When you read Adventist writings, they often present one with three beings, a created or inferior Jesus who is seldom called God the Son, one God family consisting of three individuals, and so forth.
The Church of God movement that began with Herbert Armstrong’s Worldwide Church of God taught something similar, but more openly. Christianity never recognised these groups as Christian. Essentially they were polytheists, believing in two beings that formed one God family. It’s worth noting that if God is one due to being a single family, then the Father is not completely God, and the Son is not completely God – because if they are indeed completely God, then they are two Gods, i.e. polytheism. One is stuck with either two Gods (polytheism) or with one God (the union as a family) with each component less than fully God, i.e. demigods of some sort.
Armstrong’s legacy lives on in an alphabet of “CoG” entities who have various letters of the alphabet attached before “CoG” or “CG”. ACG and LCG and PCG and so forth. The Worldwide Church of God eventually collapsed, losing a lot of members to the alphabet Churches of God, with the core entity re-emerging as a truly Christian and evangelical Protestant denomination known as Grace Communion International.
Adventism’s return to Christianity from its Arian origins was much slower, and is still an ongoing process today. Officially, Adventism claims to be truly Trinitarian, but it should be pointed out that their official statement of beliefs, the 28 fundamental beliefs, is, according to some former Adventists, quite possibly lacking in clarity regarding their true understanding of God and Jesus Christ. Perhaps that is deliberately so, to allow for the inclusion of the non-Trinitarian Adventists, and Adventists who believe Jesus was a created being and/or an inferior God to God the Father.
“It is noteworthy that Jehovah’s Witnesses as well as the various churches stemming from Church of God Seventh Day (Worldwide Church of God, United Church of God, Church of God International, etc.), inherited the view of Christ as the first creature of God from our own Seventh-day Adventist Church. The reason is that they left our Adventist church prior to our acceptance of the doctrine of the TRINITY.
This was not a case of Adventist pioneers gradually understanding the truth. This was a case of Adventist pioneers slowly pulling themselves out of a pit of false teaching that the rest of Christianity had left behind centuries ago. In order to reach the point where the pioneers were Arians and non-Trinitarians, they had to lose an incredible amount of truth, including their very ability to be classified as an authentic Christian denomination.
Today there seems to be a lot of confusion within Adventism, with some groups being authentically Trinitarian and therefore authentically Christian, and other groups within the same denomination falling outside of true Christianity. As a denomination, Adventism is a bit of a mystery to me on this core issue.
Are they a Christian denomination that contains fringe groups, or are they a non-Christian religion that contains groups with an authentic Christian theology?
This needs answering. The Catholic Church regards the baptisms of authentically Trinitarian Christian denominations as valid. That means if you were baptised as a Lutheran or Methodist or Anglican or Baptist, your baptism was an authentic Christian baptism. (Seventh-day Adventist baptisms are currently included in this group in many places.) If, on the other hand, you were baptised as a Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness, your baptism was not an authentic Christian baptism and you need to be welcomed into the Christian fold as any non-Christian would – with a valid baptism. With some variation here and there, this approach is followed by most authentic Christian groups, not just Catholicism.
Does this need to change? Should we be err on the side of caution and conditionally baptise those entering the Church if they have only been baptised previously as Adventists? Should we outright reject their baptisms and consider them unbaptised, as we do with Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses entering the Church?
I am uncertain. I can see clearly that there is a significant Arian group within Adventism. I can see clearly that there is a significant non-Trinitarian group within Adventism. There are definitely “Trinitarian” writings by Adventist leaders and theologians that are non compatible with authentic Christian Trinitarianism … largely due to their continued use of ambiguous and faulty terminology used by Ellen White and other Adventist pioneers. Clarity is needed, and I hope it can come from the Seventh-day Adventist church itself. But until that time comes, I think a re-assessment of Adventism is needed – by the Catholic Church, and by our fellow Christians the Protestants (and by the Orthodox if fringe groups in the West interest them).
On one hand, I can see all the ambiguity and confusion and disagreement within the Seventh-day Adventist church on this issue. On the other hand, I am hesitant to agree with ex-Adventists who have already reached the conclusion I do more than hint at in this post. Ex-Catholics with opinions on Catholicism are very often completely ignorant as to what the Catholic Church really teaches and practices. But that is not my opinion of the Catholic ex-Adventists I discuss these things with. And some, but not all, of these share that conclusion.
3 Responses to Are Adventists really Christian? Are they authentic Trinitarians?
I was raised Seventh Day Adventist and became Catholic about 10 years ago. I was conditionally baptised before I had my first communion and Confirmation. My dear Priest brought up the subject of conditional baptism and I readily agreed. I was a true Trinitarian, but writings of Ellen White showed that some were not. And when I was baptised at age 10, I did not want to be baptised because I did not agree with what I knew of Mrs. White. It was wonderful to enter the Catholic Church the right way.
Thank you so much for this blog. I am a former Adventist who is currently in RCIA to hopefully be received this coming Easter Vigil. I’m finding your articles very helpful to me in combating the lure I sometimes feel to return to the Adventist church. I don’t even believe all their teachings but I deeply miss the sense of community I felt, familiar hymns, and my extended family is Adventist. Again thank you so much. I pray you will continue this good work for a long time. | 2019-04-19T14:58:07 | http://blog.theotokos.co.za/?p=5653 |

At 7:30 a.m., I was nearly first in line for Sen. Hillary Clinton's 9 a.m. speech at Wake Tech, and chatted with a clerk from the college. I recognized the bigwig passing out stickers as the one parked next to me who had ignored my "Good morning." Another unfriendly politico frequently crossed our line, pushing us out of her way.
At 9 a.m., we endured an airport screening as reporters fished for sound bites.
"Is this the most exciting thing that has ever happened to you??"
Disappointed to find the first six rows "reserved for Wake Tech," and another six rows next to the stage reserved, we grabbed the first available seats.
My friend asked a faculty big shot in the first row if she could move up, but was told the seats were "for the important people of the college."
"It's all right," she assured me. "I don't really mind. I'd go up there if I really wanted to."
The next rumored start time was 10:30 a.m. The packed crowd stressed over delayed schedules, derrieres aching, bladders at capacity and temperature rising, as an annoying campaign bigwig trotted around saying, "When it's 90 degrees in here, we'll start!"
We were not amused. Someone shouted, "Hey! We're all sitting on the fence here! If it doesn't start soon we might jump down on the other side!" Cheers erupted from the audience.
One hour later, the campaign clown joked that it was 87.5 degrees. I was ready to leave, but someone said that she was coming in. Ten minutes later, a dozen locals strolled in, taking the reserved seats.
"They've been out to meet Hillary," the clerk informed me. "Now that she's met the important people, we'll start."
I fondly recalled the Kerry/Edwards rally where we had free choice and the few entourage seats were over on the side.
At 11:40, Senator Clinton started speaking, no explanation or apology offered for the delay. My friend whispered, "If you apply for a job, you'd better be on time; she's applying for the biggest job there is."
Clinton gave a great 40-minute speech, no questions taken, and hurried out, probably to the next event.
But the evening news featured an "exclusive" interview, presumably given afterward. The anchor mentioned that "Mrs." Clinton (Mrs.??) was a "few hours behind schedule" and that "No one seemed to mind." Maybe he didn't mind: He was getting paid for it, had an understanding boss, no kids to pick up and a front row seat.
Flipping the channel, I saw the senator giving another leisurely "exclusive" interview. Both "exclusives" were rehashes. I pitied the people at her later stops and thought that I had wasted my time.
But then I decided that I should see Sen. Barack Obama, too; maybe I just don't understand how things work in Washington. | 2019-04-21T00:10:16 | https://indyweek.com/news/archives/view-cheap-seats/ |
The Salem-based brand, which already holds over 20 tasting awards, has been awarded for its new Blood Orange Ginger Beer.
Innovative craft cocktail mixer company Powell & Mahoney, has just added another tasting award to its growing collection! The brand, which already holds over 20 tasting awards, has been awarded the prestigious 2017 NRA FABI Award for its new Blood Orange Ginger Beer. The FABI (Food and Beverage Innovation) Awards are designed to honor new products for their achievement in taste, marketability, creativity, and profitability potential. These are all qualities that Powell & Mahoney aims to embody in all its products.
The brand has always found pride in its ability to offer consumers an on-trend, natural and great tasting variety of cocktail mixers, ranging from the traditional to the more adventurous. The FABI award coincides with the much-anticipated spring 2017 launch of Powell & Mahoney’s new sparkling line, which includes the award-winning Blood Orange Ginger Beer, as well as Original Ginger Beer, Mojito, and Tonic water in 12-ounce cans. These fresh (and refreshing) additions to the line offer simple, high quality, and natural mixer choices to round out the brands’ already acclaimed cocktail portfolio. Powell & Mahoney is looking forward to sampling these products at the NRA / BAR show in Chicago from May 21-22 at Booth # 11421.
Powell & Mahoney has become one of the fastest growing craft cocktail mixer brands in the Foodservice channel. In 2015, Powell & Mahoney joined forces with Leahy IFP Co. to develop and market Powell & Mahoney products in SIG Combibloc aseptic cartons making it affordable and easy for bartenders to offer quality cocktail mixers. Leahy IFP Co. has since secured distribution for Powell & Mahoney products in Reinhart Foods, Shamrock Foods and Food Services of America, and DOT Foods.
Powell & Mahoney’s full line of award-winning mixers can also be found in retail chains such as Whole Foods Market, Stop and Shop, Wegmans, The Fresh Market, and Total Wine & More. Select flavors have also gained national distribution through Target, Publix, and Walmart, taking the brand one step further in its quest to quench the nationwide thirst for quality, innovative cocktails. | 2019-04-26T15:40:11 | https://www.nshoremag.com/eat-drink/pm-wins-nra-fabi-innovation-award/ |
“To go fast, go alone. To go far, go together.” This African proverb is a favorite among many thought leaders and business owners, because it speaks to the value of teamwork. But, a team isn’t much without trust. If you want your startup to succeed long-term, or for your established company to make a big expansion, you need trust from the top down. Actually, you need it for anything you do. Here are four simple ways you can start building trust in the workplace today.
You can’t focus on creating a stronger sense of trust if you don’t know where your employees currently stand. Create an open conversation around this topic. Invite staff members from any position to speak their mind. Tell them they can do so directly, but offer an anonymous avenue to do so as well. This could be in the form of a survey or suggestion box. Another way to encourage feedback is to offer incentives. Create a contest or raffle to generate more engagement, no matter the response method you choose.
One of the key signs of trust is consistency, which goes hand in hand with dependability. When an employee knows they can count on their team, they are more likely to feel a sense of trust. This goes for how they feel about their intern, project partners, and reporting manager. As such, stress the importance of following through on commitments and proper communication. This is about more than building trust in the workplace. It’s about establishing a sense of security and a standard for success.
The best way to make sure such standards hit home is to lead by example. You can’t ask a manager to be consistent if you aren’t doing so yourself, and you definitely can’t ask that of their team. Leading by example is about all aspects of trust, though. It’s about being transparent and genuine as well as honest and supportive. It’s also about establishing a sense of accountability.
Accountability is the responsibility of everyone in the workplace. It’s how you know all employees are doing their best, without having to be looking over their shoulder. Accountability says you trust your team to trust each other. This is a big claim, offering autonomy and responsibility all in one. But, it’s incredibly effective. When you give your team the chance to lead themselves a bit, amazing things can happen. Beyond building trust in the workplace, a team that holds each other accountable is often more efficient, productive, and innovative. It can change the way they approach work entirely.
Whatever change you’re looking to make, you need to be able to track it. When it comes to building trust in the workplace, real-time responses are the way to go. This doesn’t mean putting people on the spot, or a time limit on your open-door policy. It means giving them a way to tell you exactly how they feel – even in the middle of a meeting. Not sure how this happens? Check out how you can use POPin to get instant employee feedback. | 2019-04-22T00:43:33 | https://www.popinnow.com/4-tips-building-trust-workplace/ |
Saving for retirement means asking a lot of questions.
What monthly income will you need? Forbes claims this is the fundamental question that is often overlooked by 401(k) account holders.
Another important question is, how much of your savings will be consumed by fees? Vanguard founder John Bogle argues that fees have an enormous effect on 401(k) accounts, and that even small differences in fees can lead to drastically different retirement income.
One by one and year by year, the excess costs you pay for management, commissions, taxes and turnover can easily reduce your return by two percentage points...after a lifetime of modest investments, a return of 8% can leave you $2,755,274 to spend in retirement; but at 6%, those same investments can leave you with only $1,209,551.
Retirees also have to consider what returns are possible on their account, their current contribution level, the amount their employer matches, how long they plan to work, etc. Needless to say, the calculation gets confusing, especially since all of these different decisions affect each other in often unexpected ways.
To help illustrate the effect of each of these decisions, we have created an Excel spreadsheet that calculates monthly income (before taxes) at retirement given a variety of inputs such as current salary, contribution levels, account fees, etc. We also calculate the amount of fees paid both before and during retirement, and include the entire contribution and payout schedules over time.
Let's walk through the spreadsheet with a few examples. We'll assume that each example has a pre-retirement 401(k) allocation that returns 6% and a post-retirement allocation that returns 3.5%, each with a fee of 1.5% annually.
Suppose you're a 55 year old who plans to work through 70 (in 15 years). You contribute 10% of your $60,000 salary, your employer matches the first five percent and your salary grows at about 4% per year. Assuming you've saved about $150,000, At retirement you'll have about $542,632 paying approximately $67,499 in fees up to retirement. Assuming this retiree expects to live to age 80 and so needs 10 years of retirement income. The retiree will have about $4,995 of pre-tax income each month.
Please feel free to download the spreadsheet and to try a variety of different parameters. You can change the cells with orange backgrounds to see the effects of each assumption. We think you'll agree -- when saving for retirement, there is a lot to consider!
1 Assuming a 7% price inflation rate (conservative compared to the last 10 years), a tank of gas that costs $50 today will cost this retiree approximately $750 at retirement. Taking a 3% inflation rate for other purchases, a $100 grocery bill will come to about $326 at retirement. | 2019-04-18T12:25:46 | http://blog.slcg.com/2013/07/calculating-retirement-income-and-fees.html |

I have vivid memories of trick or treating on Halloween as a little girl - in a costume and carrying either a plastic pumpkin to fill with treats - or later a pillowcase that would be full of candy by the end of the night.
I wondered when the practice of trick or treat started. It seemed like a baby boomer invention to me ... so I looked to see what I could find. Trick or treating became popular a bit earlier than I thought! Knocking on doors on Halloween night to receive candy from neighbors became popular in the 1930's in the United States and Canada. It was originally popular in the western states, and then moved eastward The term "trick or treat" was first used in the Oregon Journal in 1934.
Trick or treating hit a problem in the 1940's because of sugar rationing during World War II. It picked back up with great enthusiasm in 1947. Many October 1947 children's magazines featured trick or treat covers and trick or treat candy began to be featured in magazine advertisements, like the Milky Way ad from 1947, pictured below.
Trick or treating was popular in tv shows and children's books during the 1950's and 1960's. The first Peanuts comic strip depicting trick or treating appeared in 1951. Later, in 1966, Charles Schulz would create It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, a Halloween classic for children.
Halloween candy sales average about 2 billion dollars annually in the United States. It is now the second most commercially popular holiday in the United States - after Christmas.
I love the vintage magazine illustration below, which depicts a 1950's family trick or treating -- even Mom is wearing a mask. They are out in daylight (early evening), with their faithful basset hound and beagle to help -- and a Radio Flyer wagon full of treats.
What do you remember about trick or treating? I would love to hear from you in the comments, below.
I didn't realize trick or treating was that recent!
Great post! So interesting. I remember a ghost costume (sheet with holes) that was all muddy from traipsing about.
Love those pictures. I remember having a plastic pumpkin for trick or treating, and my mom or dad always went with. We always walked. No wagon for us .
Thanks! I really appreciate your comments.
I've never been trick or treating!! But I can definitely see how they would make so much money on the candy!! | 2019-04-19T07:13:51 | http://www.birdhouse-books.com/2015/10/did-you-know-tuesday-trick-or-treat.html |
I picked up my phone noticing I had received a message on Instagram. Opening it, my interest was immediately peaked. It was from Amanda who was looking for advice in getting into modelling. I advised that working with photographers is a good way to start building up a book and that I would love to help her start her modelling adventure. With that we set up a shoot together, I arranged for my dear friend and make-up artist Beth Atkins to do the make-up and I put together a mood board and call sheet so that everything was in one place for all three of us to see. Call sheets are great for organising every aspect of the shoot so that the team know exactly what is happening and at what time. I’m a bit of an organisation nerd and really enjoy (perhaps enjoy it a little too much!) putting together the call sheet.
We all met at Beth’s place for her to do the make-up. We settled on a shimmery brown smokey eye and warm lip colour to suit the look of the shoot. I wanted to keep everything very simple, especially as it was Amanda’s first photo shoot, so we went for an autumnal look, really natural, pretty, fresh. A great start for a model portfolio book. A lot of agencies look for quite subtle or commercial make-up/hair looks so that it is clear what the model naturally looks like to people intending to book models. Of course some model agencies like the more avant-garde styling images to be in the model’s book to show versatility, but I felt that doing this may be outside of Amanda’s comfort zone and not suited to the style of imagery I take. Beth did a wonderful job of the make-up, the eye shadow and lip colour were identical to the images I pulled up from the mood board. I’m truly in awe of her talent. For Amanda, having make-up done was an entirely new experience for her. Beth helped to make it really relaxing and enjoyable, and we were all nattering away about movies, work, coffee, life.. yanno, anything and everything.
Once the make-up was done, Amanda and I hopped in my car and we headed for Eaton Park. So, you know I was saying about how I love being organised and making a call sheet. Well, sometimes things don’t exactly go to plan. But that’s okay. If you have followed my blog for a little while now, you may have seen a previous post where the rain meant that instead of taking photos outside, we had to take them inside (read blog post here). Another case of thinking on my feet. I guess that’s just life! In this instance, we were driving along and chatting about all sorts of things and then we reached the car park. There were lots of cars queueing but we thought “meh, let’s give it a go”. We probably shouldn’t have bothered! Ha! Eaton Park car park was filled to the brim with cars. Cars that were parked in set out spaces and cars that were parked on the side of the narrow road in a sort of “I guess that will have to do” fashion. We followed a line of cars who slowly made their way down a narrow road lined by parked cars jutting out awkwardly, turned round at the end and then headed back eventually to the car park entrance. On a rare occasion that a parking space did become free it was a bit like that scene in The Simpsons where homer goes to park in multiple spaces and then a car quickly pulls in in front of him to take the space. D’oh! Amanda and I found the whole situation funny and just laughed it off, a lot of other people looked quite annoyed though! When we got to the entrance we decided to change the shoot location to Earlham Park, just down the road, which was soooo much quieter and I think was actually a more appropriate setting for Amanda as there were less people around to make her feel nervous or uncomfortable. Trust me, it can feel strange when passers by just stare as they walk pass! It was so nice and quiet at Earlham Park that we spent the majority of the time alone or at a good distance away from people, which helps when you’re not used to having your picture taken.
Anyhoo, we made it to the location. Amanda had brought with her multiple outfit options, as she was taking them out of her bag I kept making excitable “Oooh” sounds! It was great because we had so much to choose from! We were particularly indecisive about the red dress or the brown dress, but eventually decided on the brown, which works so well with the other outfits we used for the previous shots. The colours and style of the outfits were all really simple and feminine. They looked great in the setting of Earlham Park too. We went for three different outfits and shot each outfit twice in a different area of the park.
My intention for the shoot was to direct Amanda as much as possible, whilst explaining why I am directing her in such a way and teaching her top tips. I wanted to share as much I could about modelling through my own experiences as both a photographer and a model. For each location we shot at, I positioned her either by sitting or standing, describing where to face, where to put her hands, her legs etc. I’d then look at her hair or clothes and make sure they were sitting right so they looked good in the photos. I’d then take some photos, make some changes in her poses or ask her to do certain natural movements to change it up a bit. She was absolutely amazing! She moved really naturally in front of the camera and is captivating in every shot.
I thoroughly enjoyed this shoot with Amanda, not only is she great to photograph, she is such a sweet person who I had a fab time hanging out with. I hope that Amanda gains even more confidence in front of the camera and takes up more modelling work. I would definitely work with her again and cannot recommend her enough. | 2019-04-21T12:03:39 | https://www.katiejade.co.uk/blog/model-coaching-with-amanda |
MEDICAL SHELTERS: this represents our main activity, where we manufacture varying and standard volume Shelters to be fitted out for hospital purposes and to be used for setting up field hospitals.
Upon a specific request of the Italian Armed Forces, in 1984 O.M.A.R. Technology designed, manufactured and patented an N.C.E. (air transportable hospital) fitted to an operating theatre and intensive care unit to be deployed by the Civil Protection System in the event of natural disasters and according to the needs of the Italian Armed Forces.
In order to meet such requirements, shelters hydraulically expanding in height and length were developed.
For the first time, this innovative system was able to solve operating problems and provide transport by helicopter and aircraft.
A fully fitted, self-sufficient, quick deployable and safe-operating N.C.E. complies with all technical standards in force in terms of installation, materials, equipment and outfit.
N.C.E.s can be transported on flatbed trailers, towed on prepared grounds, however the main issue is that they can be transported on CH 47 helicopters and similar aircraft as well as on G 222, C130 and alike.
In this way N.C.E.s can be quickly transported in particularly adverse areas to be reached only by IFR equipped aircrafts.
After this first experience OMAR manufacture a new generation of expandable shelters from 22 to 31 sqm.
These shelters provide wide indoor areas when in use, and at the same time they comply with dimensions in accordance with traffic regulation when transported. In addition, thanks to their inner configuration they can be fitted with standard furniture and equipment.
Expandable shelters can be transported with flatbed trucks, transport containers, APS, trains and C 130 aircrafts and to the CH 47 hoist system.
during transport they have the dimensions of ISO 1C containers (20”) while during operations, with the walls extended, they have a surface area of approx. 31 or 22 m2.
the internal height is never less than 2 mt.
the walls, when extended, do not require any bottom support.
the containers can be installed on any morphology of terrain.
vehicle loading and unloading operations are performed by a single operator using a push button panel without using external means such as cranes, bridge cranes, lift trucks or mechanical lifting equipment. | 2019-04-26T10:38:22 | http://www.omartechnology.com/product/expandable-medical-container/ |

This will hit you if a subscriber needs a table of content and you installed version 3.2.7 of the digests extension. What happened was that in cleaning up the code I decided that the assign_vars method should be simplified to use assign_var when only one template variable needs to be connected to a template. Except that the messenger class used for email is a subset of the template class and it doesn’t support the assign_var method. So it fails. You can see the patch here. | 2019-04-20T08:26:15 | https://www.phpbbservices.com/category/digests/ |

One son, two son, three son of the same biological parent can have a two alter egos paternal and maternal figures as well as one father or mother can have one, two, three, four or every child of the world acting as a teacher, sponsor, executor, in a way that one or another get the counterpart the chance to learn something venerable about life, something permanent in our heart that could be a signal of emptiness of the world, a feeling of complitude beside of the faculty´s mind on to grasp things, spinning to stop the wheel if there you can see the possibility to go directly down her.
If one has to render to (onto) something is better the action and the mind are aligned for a good cause or a special omen about our possibles direction on this life and may be after these. Faces are the course of the river, and the hoods are only a roads to Mandalay as someone has to dare call it, and what was that we could or not “control”, apply rules or not, which hand is extended and which fit is enough close to assure a good punch? Or perhaps is only a little bet about what things are in there. So keeping this in mind the rule is inversely proportional at the moment the “father, executor” broke the “rule”, “the tradition, the “example” which is suppose to give at their own core. External and economics world are one piece of the wheel. The mechanism, the techno, but not the sentence. So if the wheel fall apart the novel, the peace, the hippocampus, the time zone, how could the others be on compassion all the time with him or her?. So, I think, humble as I can stay today that we have our myriad on the higher respect for the rules of each member of our housing, for the sovereignty and try to fix the continuum lines of broken promises that make angry people “lunch” and fight for a piece of land or a hat.
If there is a possibility to run the continuum counting on unbreaking “the future” for someone else it may be, an agreement. There, in the ultimate state, opening a third line with a renowed course because at the end there are many teachings around, many lands, many things about to give a good example, and “many”, “many, many many”, mantras on behalf of Buddha´s lands and all of these are vast and has its own limitless richness and space that cannot be unbroken or jumped without a terminal consequence. That´s to risky, and at the end….emptiness always can turn off the wheel and make of all of these a past-present-future sentence into in.verse proportion once and again for ever. | 2019-04-25T04:10:12 | http://www.yolandamarin.net/blog/textos-alquimicos/unbreaking-future |

Simply a dream come true!!!
Hello Everyone. I was just wondering if in the local,"walking distance"area,if there are any, little bars or restaurants? We are thinking of going for around 2/3 weeks,so may like to try somewhere else apart from the hotel. Many thanks.
Hi there, Depends on your ideas about walking distance. I would recommend renting scooters. Easier to explore the island and it increases your 'walking distance' immensly. La Perle will arrange it for you. Don't let the somewhat secluded location of the resort keeop you from visiting... it's worth it.
Hi could you please tell me how far away from local shops and restaurants and if there are any bars on the beach .
It's a beautiful, remote paradise, with the beach all to yourself. So no bars on the beach. Closest shop (7/11) is around the corner, good restaurants scattered around, within 1-2 kilometers, serious shopping about 10-15 minutes by scooter in Fisherman's village (new mall). And then there is the other side of the island, Chaweng Beach etc, which is much busier. Probably more food and shopping there.
How far is it from restaurants outside the hotel or to chaweng?
hi! To chaweng i beleive it takes 30 minutes and if you would like to dine closer you re about 10 min from maenan street and 15 to fisherman village!
Bonjour, nous sommes allés a l’hôtel perle luxury en octobre dernier. Nous avions pris « le premier prix » comme vous dites: chambre + piscine. Chambre parfaite très propre, voisine avec 2 autres chambres (piscine divisée en 3 et séparée par des barrières pour le côté privatif). Nous étions seuls sur la rangée des 3 chambres donc très tranquille. Le prix le plus élevé donne vue sur la mer, là est la différence. Hôtel très bien, calme et personnel très accueillant.

Anything below half a kilo *is* a small container of yogurt.
@emacsen that's probably worth doing. I make yogurt in an InstantPot now but long ago had a dedicated yogurt maker. Just need something to keep it at the incubation temp for 8 hours or so (35-45°C or 95-115°F). I've read of people using an oven with just the appliance light left on.
I used to make several little jars, but now I just make a large batch & put it into a small jar in the morning if I need something portable.
@keverets That's one way. OTOH if I'm using the high quality probiotics to make the yogurt, I'll probably stick with that.
I may try this. The other thing I need to do for this experiment is good quality half-and-half, grass-fed/pasture raised half-and-half without fillers or stabilizers.
Interested to hear how it goes for you.
@keverets I'm trying to essentially reproduce the macros in Peak. https://peakyogurt.com/ Their yogurt is 17%. Heavy cream is 34%. Half and Half is around 12% so a good mix should be a bit of both. Using heavy cream alone with keffir in the past gave me something more akin to creme fraiche in consistency. | 2019-04-20T09:00:33 | https://emacsen.net/@emacsen/101556057237521753 |

The blood circulation is actually affected by many different factors such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, smoking, blood clots, bad lifestyle, no physical activity, and abuse of drugs.
It is important that you are consuming at least 8 glasses of water on daily basis in order to maintain and improve the blood circulation. If you are consuming this amount of water on daily basis you will supply the body with enough oxygen, as well as hydrate the tissues. Also it will help you to improve the digestive system and digestion of food.

What does a quote on ethics have to do with Leadership?
To me everything. Since my first introduction to Ethics via Simon Longstaff and The St. James Ethics Centre many years ago, I have found that Philosophy and Ethics have been a bedrock and foundation to life, living and leadership.
You can say that I have literally walked a road less travelled, many of my heroes and heroines have been similarly the same, and that is a road that requires dedication and concentration. It also calls for awareness and adaptation.
Leadership theories and fads come and go. Organisational trends and restructures are never-ending, not to mention those other inherent nasties that we must dance with from time to time, that can and do wreak havoc and cause many distractions.
Many of these verities teach us how to build a wall; very few teach us how to break them down or get around them. Who constructs this wall, who devises an exit strategy?
We do, and it requires that rare ability to question all that we hold dear.
So now the question becomes, why do we do things the way they have always been done?
Is it because the old ways are the best? A process may have been tried but we can’t automatically assume it has been properly tested. A plan may work but that isn’t to say we couldn’t find a way to make it work more efficiently. Generally, we stick with tradition because it stops us having to think.
But is a cloistered existence all there is to life?
A possible exit lies in the realm of expectation; a theory; an opportunity.
Testing the grounds of expectation takes us back to the vessel of eternal verities. It requires that we examine, in close proximity not only our social life, but also other social conditions and social contracts that exist.
Testing the theories that have supported us for so long can seem a little scary, which is precisely where the magic lies, what exactly underpinned that theory.
Last but least, testing the opportunity is one of those rare beasts that is unquantifiable, however, better to ask what is the cost of lost opportunity rather than the cost of opportunity for the sake of opportunity.
I still recall a comment from Dennis Waitley’s Psychology of Winning from many years ago. He was comparing how the life of a reef and its coral.
“Coral on the outer side of the reef is exposed to many random acts, is brighter and more alive, whilst the coral that is safe and closest to the protected side of the harbour is the most lacklustre”.
Are we curious enough to be brighter or are we prepared to remain lacklustre? The first job of any renovation, physical or mental, requires knocking down a few walls. Only then do the opportunities become apparent.
Happy demolition and we are with you, hammer at the ready. | 2019-04-24T00:22:41 | https://causeandeffective.net/2016/04/29/how-to-demolish-a-wall/ |
To make the dressing, combine the lemongrass, garlic, grapefruit juice, sweet chilli sauce, sugar, fish sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Combine the grapefruit, shallot, mints, coriander and basil in a large bowl. Drizzle with a little of the dressing and gently toss to combine. Place evenly among serving plates. Top with the lobster and drizzle with remaining dressing to serve.

Heuer Publishing - LOVE! AT THE CAFE!
Love! At the Cafe! is a romantic comedy with big 1950's song and dance numbers. Love! is about two love triangles and conflicts that emerge in the "simple" times of the 50s at Bonnie's Cafe. The main character is the all-American teenage boy, Jimmy, who has had a crush on the pretty waitress, Sharon, for a very long time. He is about to disclose his "love" to her by asking her to the fourth of July party, only to be thwarted by the evil, self-centered and rich Fred, who has already asked her to the party. The other young couple is the head cook, Melvin, who is engaged to the flamboyant, actress wanna-be, Candy, who is now in hot pursuit by the phony Hollywood "producer", Jet. The older Bonnie runs the Cafe and is in the middle of all the shenanigans.
Love! is the perfect musical for high schools, colleges and community theatres. One basic set - Bonnie's Cafe - 7 principal roles; 5 supporting roles; supporting cast as chorus affords flexibility in extras. Guaranteed enjoyment for audience and cast.

The first stop of Jenkins User Conference world tour this year was Paris, where there's a considerable concentraion of Jenkins developers and users (sometiems those of us on the other side of the Atlantic call them "the French gang") The event was held a day before Devoxx France, in the hope that we attract more attendance.
I believe there are 100+ people that actually showed up, and we had a full day divided in two tracks, talking all things about Jenkins. While many are French, some of the attendees come from all over the Europe. I was able to see some familiar faces, as well as those who I've only known by their names.
I tried to get in and out of both tracks to get the sense of what's going on, so that I can report them later, and here's my notes.
I kicked off the whole day with a keynote, looking back what we've done since we became Jenkins. I've looked into various activities in the community, such as LTS, Jenkins CIA, Ruby plugin development, and UI enhancements. I updated my adoption statistics slides (we are happy to report that we crossed 40K installations in our tracking), and reported that JFrog is now hosting our repositories that we rely on for the development. I showed some of what we've been lately working on at CloudBees — such as the upcoming version of Jenkins Enterprise by CloudBees that support high-availability, our giving away the folder plugin for free (as in beer), and previews of some not quite public yet features, which is a treat only for those who came!
In the first slot, Gregory Boissinot went through a plugin development workshop. This was actually something I really wanted to understand, so that I get the objective view on where the pitfalls are. Even though the talk was in French, I did understand the code he was showing, and I took some notes about having some kind of skeleton code generator — for example, there's a common pattern for building an UI bound model object (for asking the user to enter data that has structures, persisting them, and so on), and having a code generator command line tool (like jenkins.rb has) could be really handy.
In another room, Nicolas and Mathieu were showing their "build flow" plugin, which lets you write a workflow in Groovy DSL. Choreographing a complex workflow that involves multiple jobs is a commoon challenge among any Jenkins users, and so this talk was well attended, and I'm really looking forward to seeing this plugin mature (there's a separate effort to integrate BPMN workflow into Jenkins, see more about that here.) One thing I learned about Groovy DSL since then is the AST transformation. I'm thinking it might allow us to convert the DSL workflow script into a continuation passing style so that you can suspend/resume workflow at arbitrary point.
The day was so packed that we didn't even waste the lunch time! While attendees are eating, we had lightening talks in the room. Olivier showed off how Apache runs Jenkins, which is quite sizable, then I pitched in for Domonik, who couldn't make it to the conference, and covered the scriptler plugin. Vincent followed and covered the similar Groovy system console. Harpreet then closed off the lunch lightening talks by showing the templates plugin in Jenkins Enterprise by CloudBees.
While all that is going on in one room, in another room Lars Kruse showed off how the old meets the new — where you take ClearCase UCM and use it to do validated merge, in which only the changes tested by Jenkins become visible to the rest of the team. I personally don't know much about ClearCase, but it was very interesting that emerging techniques like validated merge can be applied on more traditional SCM tools. He also said his company works with clients to develop custom Jenkins plugins. I always felt that any big company adopting Jenkins need some custom glue plugins, and I regularly come across those companies, but CloudBees can only help so many. It's great to see that there are more help available now!
The talk that followed was from Julien Carsique from Nuxeo, discussing how he manages and improves the CI environment for his organization. Now, I regret I didn't take all the notes about details, but I think this was one of the best presentations of the day for me. I remember thinking that if we had the best Jenkins administrator award for those who push things to the limit and beyond, he would be my top pick. IIRC, he had a major Maven projects that span across different repos and all. He set up Jenkins such that any change triggers a cascade of new builds of downstream jobs, which later then fan out to cross-platform test jobs, then he made the whole thing visualized so you can track exactly where the time is spent and how those changes propagate. I think this was very inspirational to many other fellow Jenkins users, and I hope he will put his slides somewhere so that other people can mimic what he's done.
It was also great to see and hear Sebastian Bergmann, the guy behind Jenkins PHP, talk about Jenkins and PHP integrations. I wish we had more of those people who bridge our community to different communities and help us spread the ideas. He even kindly gave me his Jenkins/PHP book and signed it for me!
Aside from talks, food was great, especially for those of us who came from the U.S. I've got some good inspirations about where we need to work. And I also managed to implement the search filter in the update center during the day, in response to the valid complaint from Sebastian. For virtual communities like ours, it's really good to meet people in the meat space and put faces on names. Build automation engineers are often somewhat lonely in their respective organizations — there just aren't that many people who get excited about automating things away, and so having so many of like-minded folks in one room was by itself a great experience.
On the things to improve side, I felt that workshops was tricky to do in a limited time and in a big room. Maybe it would work out better if there's a smaller room where smaller number of people can gather and hack away (probably some time slots designated for some specific topics), then we can collectively merge pending important pull requests, teaching how to develop plugins, or ask others to look at their plugins, etc. There also can be a valid discussion about JUC, run nicely in exchange of admission fee, vs JUC run cheaply but free.
In any case, I think the quality of presentations were very good, and knowing local Jenkins developers/users would help expand your horizon. As I said in the beginning, we are takin JUC around the world this year. The one in New York is just in the next week, followed by Herzelia (Israel), Tokyo, San Francisco, and Antwerp.

When people ask me what MAGIC Market Week is like, I usually respond with "it's a fashion wonderland, and there's a lot to see. It's exhausting, but in a good way." With six seasons under my belt, I've learned how to make efficient use of my time and how to navigate the overwhelming assortment of booths at the various trade shows. Imagine row after row of apparel and accessory vendors, a high energy environment, and more style inspiration than you can process. By the end of each day, I'm enervated, but I'm also excited about seeing new brands and upcoming trends. Attending the MAGIC Market Week trade shows each February and August always ignites my passion for trends and of course, for shopping.
In this post, I'll be sharing five fun brands that I discovered, starting with on-trend Los Angeles line Willow & Clay. You may have seen their merchandise at Nordstrom Rack or Piperlime. What struck me while viewing their collection was the attention to detail and how so many of their pieces mix and match perfectly together. Note the variety of textures and embellishments. I could not resist playing stylist, so I pulled a few looks that would be right at home in my closet.
Adorable Spanish brand Kling caught my eye with their quirky prints, cute bomber jackets, and feminine flourishes. Furthermore, their enthusiastic sales team, playful assortment of prints, and affordable price points were the icing on the cake. Bumble bee sweater, be mine! See more cuteness on their Instagram.
Brazilian brand Dumond's footwear and accessories feature on-trend details and chic embellishments. The metallic laser cut shoes were a personal favorite, while the floral print wedges were a close second.
I loved pretty much everything at the Pepa Loves booth. The Spanish brand's playful cat prints and relaxed silhouettes make for a fun and casual mix that spoke to my personal style. Plus, how charming are those owl and cat bags? I couldn't stop smiling when browsing their wares.
The fall collection by edgy Los Angeles-based brand Hot & Delicious stopped me in my tracks, which isn't easy to do. Their visual merchandising, with a rich array of textures, prints, and layers, made me hope that the cooler temperatures of fall would arrive soon. The more-is-more combination of fringe and faux fur evokes a boho-meets-rocker vibe that I find irresistible.

My daughter is 11 yrs old. We’ll call her Bug. Bug was diagnosed bipolar when she was 7. It has been a long, difficult road of ups and downs since then. We went through three schools before anyone would listen to me enough to give her an I.E.P. Finally at the end of her 3rd grade year (and after a hospital stay for a suicide attempt while at school – the 2nd one) the third school evaluated her and decided she “qualified”. Last year, around the end of November, (while in 5th grade) she started having hallucinations again, auditory and visual.
Barry Shainbaum is an icon of survival and success. Today, he is a renowned public speaker, broadcaster and celebrated photographer, acclaimed for documenting some of the world's most famous and heroic individuals.
Alicia Smith, while living with Bipolar II, PTSD, Agoraphobia and Major Depression, taught over 85,000 people in person and 12,000 virtually. Now medically retired, Alicia focuses her time on mental health advocacy, and various volunteer activities, to improve our country's mental health care. People have asked her to present to groups and she has developed four interesting and unusual takes on recovery in mental health.
I have always had a rather constant, endless even array of dreams. Whereas as some people have the odd dream now and again or some confess to never dreaming, I have always had dreams that are complex, graphic in their imagery and disconcertingly vivid, making one believe that the dream they’re currently experiencing is happening in real-time.
This week I wanted to highlight an artist who both creates art and has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. While searching the Internet I came across Darren Stein, an Australian artist and poet. Although Stein was previously diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, he was more recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder II. He attributes eight new images he created as inspired by this new label.
Other times it is a stranger staring back at me.
When did my life become medication, therapy, support groups, and doctor’s appointments?
Will I ever be who I once dreamed of becoming or will those dreams be lost forever?
Other times as I stare the fighter within me begins to awaken from its den.
Remission – Is it a Good Thing?
I think one of the less talked about aspects of Bipolar Disorder is what happens when one is stable. I mean we hear lots about both the depression side and the mania/hypomania side. But ,what about life as a stable person? Some call it remission. No depression and no mania. Most people would think this is a non-issue. For the average person who doesn’t know BPD, and maybe even for some who do, it isn’t an issue.
A native Boston, born 60 years ago, Deva Lipson is a bipolar survivor who has become a missionary against the twisted existence the disease can cause. She goes wherever in the county to talk to service clubs, schools, anyone with ears to loan about the disease that for years pinned her life like a beetle - how to understand it and how to survive it. She especially wants to help remove the stigma. Her teaching syllabus is her own life. | 2019-04-23T18:25:54 | http://ibpf.org/blog/bipolar-disorder?page=9 |
