Wrestling Revolution HD is a total conversion mod for the default install of WR3D. There are a lot of changes under the hood to increase the visual look of the base game. This is the MDickie edition which keeps the ‘fake’ promotions and names. A Real World edition will be available soon!
All Environment textures have been replaced with stylised visuals. Backstage area and arena textures are now much more eye pleasing and fit with the look of the game. When you select venue ‘Decors’ you will have a nice looking environment every time.
Arena/Backstage models have also been mapped to these new textures. There will be no MDickie default textures in any venue.
All fonts have been replaced with more legible ones. All text in the game now looks much better, and thanks to the Flash based engine, looks incredible at any resolution.
Revised menu screens. The career mode calendar screen and match creation screens are now very presentable.
Promotion logos and ring aprons have been designed from the ground up. They are 2017 version of MDickie’s original creations. I love the MDickie universe, so creating fresh logos for the promotions is the best part of making WRHD.
New audio. Crowd sounds have been fully replaced, as well as wrestler pain sounds and some various weapon impact noises (Thanks to TWC4).
The Theme limit has been increased to 400.
New weapons. A new chair model (comes in blue, black and khaki), new table mode, stop sign, barbed wire bat, stretcher, new steps, guitar and cardboard boxes and crates have been replaced with roadie cases.
Due to the many changes, this will replace your Game.swf file. If you have any other mods that have an edited Game.Swf, this will more than likely break your game. It’s advised to use WRHD on a fresh install of the game, and then you can add your own mods.
If you already have your own themes in your music folder, the themes included in this pack will replace them, so be sure to take them out before installing WRHD, you can safely rename them when the WRHD themes are installed. WRHD allows for a whopping 400 Themes!
This does not change any roster or career mode files.
TWC4 team for the weapon models & crowd/pain sounds. | 2019-04-18T16:47:13 | http://www.wr3dmods.com/2017/07/28/wrhd-mdickie-edition-download/ |
There are three ways in which you can make a VoIP call, each way having a different set of requirements and implications. The three ways are differentiated by what you have on each of the two communicating sides.
The word computer here includes all devices that use digital data and run an operating system, like desktop computers, laptop computers, tablet PCs, and smartphones. This mode is the most common, as it is easy and free. You need to have a computer connected to the Internet, with the necessary hardware to talk and listen (either a headset or speakers and a microphone). You can install voice communication software like Skype and you are ready to talk.
Obviously, this mode will work only if you have a correspondent who is using a computer or mobile device like a smartphone equipped like yours to communicate. She should be connected at the same time. It’s like chatting, but with voice.
This can happen not only on the Internet but on a Local Area Network (LAN) as well. The network should be IP-enabled, i.e. the Internet Protocol (IP) should be running and controlling packet transfer on your network. This way, you can communicate with another person on the same network.
Whether you are communicating over the Internet or a LAN, you need to have adequate bandwidth. If you have around 50 kbps, it will work, but you won’t have great quality. For good quality voice, get at least 100 kbps for a conversation.
Using IP Phones: An IP Phone looks just like a normal phone. The difference is that instead of working on the normal PSTN network, it is connected to a gateway or router, a device which, simply said, does the necessary mechanisms to get the VoIP communication running. The IP phone, therefore, does not connect to the RJ-11 socket. Instead, it uses the RJ-45 plug, which is the one we use for wired LANs. If you want to have an idea of what an RJ-11 plug is, have a look at your normal phone or your dial-up modem. It is the plug that connects the wire to the phone or modem. The RJ-45 plug is similar but bigger.
You can, of course, use wireless technologies like Wi-Fi to connect to a network. In this case, you can either be using a USB or RJ-45 for connection.
Using an ATA: ATA is short for Analog Telephone Adapter. It is a device that allows you to connect a standard PSTN phone to your computer or directly to the Internet. The ATA converts voice from your normal phone and converts it to digital data ready to be sent over a network or the Internet.
If you register for VoIP service, it is common to have an ATA bundled along in the service package, which you can return once you terminate the package. For example, you get an ATA in a package with Vonage and AT&T’s CallVantage. You only have to plug the ATA to your computer or and phone line, install the necessary software, and you are ready to use your phone for VoIP.
Now that you understand how you can use your computer, normal phones, and IP phones to make VoIP calls, it is easy to figure out that you can call a person using a PSTN phone from your computer. You can also use your PSTN phone to call someone on his computer.
You can also have a mixture of VoIP users, using phones and computers to communicate over the same network. The hardware and software are heavier in this case. | 2019-04-24T09:51:14 | https://www.lifewire.com/three-ways-of-making-voip-connections-3426727 |

Each year we need to purchase new text books for the school. To replace worn ones, to add to our stock as new courses become available in print and to update our books to reflect curriculum changes. A sponsorship of $ 10,000 per year will cover our annual budget for text books.
All the school curriculum textbooks are available on pdf within Ethiopia. We can load these onto e-readers and save the cost of buying new books when the curriculum changes. $2,000 buys enough e-readers to equip a class and all their text books will be available on an e-reader. Saves a tree and saves storage space. A quickly renewable resource.
Our supplementary food programme at the school, to provide extra protein and vitamins to our young students costs $40,000 per year.
Our budget for sports equipment is $ 5,500 per year. Maybe your sport club could run an event to support this, or donate equipment?
Our laboratory equipment budget is $15,000 per year. A science club or technical organisation may like to support us or donate equipment. (Fragile equipment and chemicals are not suitable for transport to Ethiopia).
We spend about $6,500 per year on teaching aids for the school. From art materials and globes, demonstration equipment. This is particularly important for Kindergarten and junior Primary School grades.
Each year we spend $2,000 on medical equipment and first aid materials to help students with headaches, stomach upsets and scrapes and grazes. More serious cases are sent immediately to the local clinics. | 2019-04-24T10:39:07 | http://www.rainbows4children.org/index.php/sponsorship-programmes/sponsor-a-project/ |
I'm Just here to watch the opposition Mr Gold.
England are once again hurting after a whoppingly humiliating defeat to Iceland - no, not the cut price supermarket, but the tiny country with 300,000 inhabitants. Stats are that Icelandic males have a 1 in 2000 chance of playing football for their country! Back at West Ham your chances of playing for Roy Hodgson's England were 1 in ten gazillion, apparently.
After an in and out opening three matches, the Hodgson error was exposed - put simply: NO PLAN B. Was there ever a game where England needed the twin battering rams of Andy ('I can out-head every CB in the world') and Michail Antonio ('Watch me open your defence with a direct run towards goal'), then it was the final quarter of last night's game where Iceland had firmly shut the gates.
Even worse, England lacked a midfielder who could lead by example...anyone for Mark Noble? As a committed Hammer, a big part of you will be glad that our players weren't exposed to the horror of being part of the Euro mess.
The competition for a new manager will be fascinating - mostly because there are no obvious replacements! Let's hope that they don't approach Mr Bilic who clearly has the experience and smarts for the role. Either way, with the excitement of the first Olympic Stadium season ahead, He'd probably tell them to fcuk off!
Everyone knows that England can only win a trophy when they have three West Ham players in the team (and not five Spuds, Roy's secret love child Jack Wheelchair and ginger baddie Rooney).
Overhaul time.......too late for Noble and possibly Carroll, but just to see Hodgson squirm when them chickens came home to roost made it worthwhile. C'mon Woy, explain again why we didn't need big Andy as a Plan B! I really need the belly laugh, you geriatric biased old tw4t.
Roy Hodgson should have taken Noble & Antonio. Not so sure about Carroll though.
He should not have taken Wilshere, Sterling and Barkeley (who never figured anyway). Noble and Antonio could have played in midfield. At least they would have been able to pass and cross the ball. Kane taking corners and free kicks what a joke. | 2019-04-24T20:53:50 | http://www.verywestham.com/2016/06/hodgsons-westhamophobia-comes-home-to.html |
Preheat your oven to 190 deg C and brush the melted butter liberally over the muffin tin.
Lay out the fillo on a clean bench widthways-the longer end facing you. Cut in half and then proceed to cut each half into 4 even quarters.
Lay a sheet into the muffin pan, pressing lightly so it fits and brush with butter. Layer another sheet of fillo on top and repeat this process for each muffin hole (each muffin hole will take 6 sheets total).
Cook in the oven for 10-12 mins until golden and crispy.
Fill each fillo cup with your desired filling. | 2019-04-26T04:35:48 | https://antonioufillo.com.au/blog/recipes/2016/summer-fillo-cups |
Note: This is a proposal still and under reasonable heavy discussion. Please read the NodeFencing page in addition to this one; this page only explains the implementation of the STONITH Agents, not the integration into the CRM design.
They are not located under /usr/ocf, but under /usr/lib/heartbeat/stonith.d/.
For every STONITH method, there is one agent. They likely will all call into the same STONITH backend initially (ie, be a wrapper around the existing heartbeat STONITH plug-ins), but complement them. However, this also means that we have an additional plug-in structure, so that people can chose.
On start, they start a daemon process to connect to the STONITH device; this is the instantiation of what is called the STONITH Controller in the NodeFencing page. This daemon monitors and controls the STONITH Device, and, if possible/necessary, does what is needed to ensure that we are the only one accessing the device (so that no other task interferes).
Surprisingly, on stop, said daemon is stopped and thus the ownership of the STONITH Device released.
monitor does just what it does for regular resources; it verifies whether the daemon is still running and performs a health check request by which the daemon reports whether it can still reach the STONITH Device.
The fence operation, which we supply with a comma-separated list of node names to fence (via a OCF_RESKEY_STONITH_NODES environment variable) and report back on stdout for each node name whether the STONITH operation was successful or not. A non-zero exit code on the fence operation shall be interpreted a complete failure to reach the STONITH device, so the CRM can reallocate the STONITH controller resource on another node, if applicable.
The list-fence-targets which - after the resource has been started - reports the list of nodes which the device controls to stdout (which is already relayed back to us via the LocalResourceManager).
SunJiangDong said: According to the new node fencing architecture, now there is no actual StonithAgent scripts, only function simulation via stonith RA plugin plus the stonith daemon. Moreover, the functions corresponding to the above two operations will be moved to and implemented in node fencing daemon's API library, there will be no these two opertations on virtual StonithAgents. In other word, now these virtual StonithAgents act more like the standard OCF RAs. Please refer to SmartFencingDaemonProposal.

This year Twitter reached into its garden of production and pulled out a Vine. In late January 2013, the recently acquired video sharing platform and mobile app became available to the public. Vine is currently available on iPhone and iPod Touch devices, but Twitter has promised other options will be available soon.
For digital marketers, Vine is a bit of a mystery. Immediately, there was a flurry of questions. Who would use this service? What kind of content would it cater to? And where do brands trying to reach their core audience fit into all of this?
Much of the frustration some marketers are feeling comes from the fact that Vine is an abbreviated video sharing service that doesn’t seem to fit in the landscape as we know it. In a world where users are used to advanced video sharing sites like Youtube and Vimeo, the limited scope of Vine may seem confining. But perhaps getting the answers to some of your most frustrating questions can help.
Do We Really Have to Use Such Short Videos?
The first thing you’ll realize after poking around Vine is that there is no upload option. That means that the only videos you can share with Vine are the ones you create with the app. For many users, this is a problem. You’re used to platforms, like Youtube, that allow you to create with any equipment you’d like. Furthermore, Vine limits its videos to six second loops.
But think back to the beginning days of Twitter. Remember when 140 characters seemed like not enough to even express a single thought? Well last year, reports put Twitter users near the half a billion mark. Obviously, we all found a way to get over it.
What Twitter became is the type of network where brevity rules. Like Twitter, Vine caters to an audience with faster typing fingers and shorter attention spans. Brands who fit in with these users will thrive with the platform. Those that don’t will continue to use less specific video sites like Youtube.
Would It Have Killed Them to Give Us Some Editing Features?
Vine’s recording feature is drop dead simple. You press the Create button to begin recording and take your finger off when you’re done. You can do simple editing by lifting your finger during parts you don’t want to capture and pressing again when you’re ready to continue recording.
This is frustrating to users who want to put out fully produced videos. But again, Vine isn’t for that type of video sharing. It’s for stripped down guerilla style videos and the marketing plans that complement that. Vine isn’t for commercials or movies. Think short product spotlights, interesting action shots or visual punchlines.
Do We Really Need to Work on Building Another Platform?
Twitter’s relationship to Vine is a lot like Facebook’s relationship to Instagram. Twitter owns Vine but Twitter and Vine are two separate platforms. Your follower count has nothing to do with the social network you’ve built over Twitter and thus there is less reach for your brand. This can be frustrating when you’ve spent significant man hours building up your brand’s presence on bigger, more well known social platforms.
Remember that Vine is also an app that crosses platforms, too. You can set your Vine videos to post to Twitter and Facebook. So if you’re not interested in building a following on Vine, don’t worry too much about it. Instead, use the app to provide original and interesting content to your current followings on those already established networks.
Vine is still so new, it’s wet behind the ears. But for brands that can see the potential in the micro-video platform, it’s a great opportunity to try something that may very well change the landscape of video marketing. Only time will tell.

For 2014 there’s little doubt that RockShox have set their sights on the hard-hitting trail bike and enduro racing market. They’re leading the charge with the resurrection of the legendary Pike fork in a lightweight, 160mm travel chassis with brand-new sealed cartridge ‘Charger’ damper, available in the full trio of wheel sizes.
The Rapid Recovery damping system seen on the Vivid Air R2C downhill shock will also be present on the fork as well as on an updated Monarch Plus rear shock, while the Maxle Lite and Reverb dropper post system all see small but significant changes.
BikeRadar headed to the red rock and dust in the desert around Sedona, Arizona, to put the new technology to the test.
The original Pike fork was launched way back in 2005, and with its combination of 140mm travel and stiff 20mm thru-axle it won over many riders with a blend of tracking precision and all-mountain, hard riding capability without an excess of weight; a blueprint for almost all mountain and trail forks that followed.
The 2014 model is a long cry from the early fork. The reincarnated Pike will be available in 26, 27.5 and 29in chassis versions, all sporting up to 160mm of travel from the 35mm diameter upper legs.
RockShox hadn’t planned to create a 160mm travel 29er fork, but with potential demand on bikes such as the recently-released 155mm travel Specialized Enduro 29 it doesn’t take a genius to see who this fork is gunning at. Weighing a claimed 1,838g for the 160mm, 26in Solo Air model, it’s a significant 100g or so lighter than the similarly pitched Fox 34 Float CTD.
The 160mm model is joined by a 150mm option, with Solo Air or travel adjustable Dual Position Air spring versions. A 29er-only 140mm Solo Air sprung model will also be available. The forks cannot be user-modified to shorter or longer travel settings.
The 2014 Pike has been designed specifically around a tapered steerer and 15mm thru-axle. Excising choice from the equation has allowed RockShox to focus on minimising weight.
That’s been achieved by making the lower leg casting shorter on the non-spring driveside leg, where the extra internal volume isn’t required. The externally butted ‘Power Bulge’ that helps support the bushing area also extends only 40mm down, while on the more highly stressed disc side it extends all the way down to the brake mount.
The seals have been changed to reduce breakaway friction, moving to a single lip seal while slotted (instead of solid) bushings allow oil to circulate and keep things lubricated.
Despite outward similarities to the DLC and Black Gold extra-slippery coatings seen on various pro riders’ BlackBox development forks, the black finish on the upper legs is a purely cosmetic anodising. According to RockShoxproduct manager Jeremy Boobar the DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating used on BlackBox forks proved too inconsistent for mass production. The useful anodised sag gradients aid simple setup and there’s a choice of white painted crown and lower legs in addition to all black.
The Pike fork will be available from May and will cost from US$980 to US$1,085 (£779.99 to £849.99 or €878 to €949) depending on exact model.
The fork also debuts with the all-new Charger damper. The new sealed cartridge design uses an extruded bladder filled with 3wt oil that expands to contain the oil displaced by the fork as it moves through its travel. The design helps keep damping consistent by ensuring that no air mixes with the oil, even during rough and rapid descents.
RockShox senior design engineer Damon Gilbert notes that the extruded design of the bladder results in consistent wall thickness, with no seams that could act as weak points. Gilbert said the service interval for the Charger damper is approximately 200 hours and the bleed process can be done in less than five minutes.
The Charger damper is available in RCT3 and RC models. The RCT3 offers Pedal and Lock efficiency settings, with an Open setting working on a separate damping circuit with independent low-speed compression adjustment. The simpler RC damper makes do with low-speed compression adjustment with Lock setting.
While some might draw parallels with Fox’s CTD system, RockShox say they prefer to give the rider the option to adjust the feel of the fully open setting with separate low-speed damping adjustment, while having defined and fixed settings for pedalling performance. They accept that it’s possibly not as easy for novice riders to grasp how to tune the fork, but aim to work directly with consumers.
RockShox plan to use social media and the internet to inform consumers on how to tweak their settings. They will also be using the five SRAM Technical Universities in Europe, the United States and Australia to help give dealers the requisite knowledge and setup skills.
Both versions of the Charger damper feature the Rapid Recovery rebound damping technology first seen on the 2012 Monarch RT3 rear shock. The system aims to keep the fork riding higher in its travel, preventing packing down on successive bumps. This is achieved by using the Dual Flow rebound system, which has separate, adjustable beginning stroke and fixed rate ending stroke rebound damping circuits.
Although this technology has been on the RockShox product line for a while, Rapid Recovery uses a faster rate ending stroke rebound that has a set ‘blow off’ point (or more correctly, a digressive damping profile), allowing it to quickly re-extend in readiness for the next bump. A slower-than-usual beginning stroke rebound rate prevents an uncontrolled bucking feeling as the fork extends back to full travel.
On the spring side, the spring rate of the fork can be made more progressive by adding in ‘Bottomless Tokens’ – plastic spacers that fix to the air spring cap to reduce the air volume and aid the air spring’s natural ramp up towards the end of the travel. They can be threaded together to allow additional fine tuning.
While the same result can be achieved by adding additional oil, it’s a simple, light and fuss-free way for anyone with fairly basic spanner skills to fine-tune the feel of the fork.
The quick-release, thru-axle Maxle Lite system has also undergone significant changes. Instead of fixing the axle in place by expanding at either end when closed, the new design uses a clamping action to secure it while the open lever cam is now enclosed.
These changes mean it should be less sensitive to dirt clogging the mechanism. The lever closure angle can be adjusted without tools, simply by depressing the lever and aligning anodised marks to the required position.
The Monarch Plus shock has been well received among enduro and all-mountain riders, offering a combination of light weight from the Solo Air spring and hard-hitting descending performance from the self-correcting anti-fade damper, which shares much in common with the Vivid Air downhill shock.
For 2014 the shock gains the Rapid Recovery rebound system thanks to the damping shaft diameter moving from 9 to 10mm, meeting the system’s need for greater oil flow.
The shock is also capable of running a broader range of pressures to cope with a wider variety of frame designs. The range of rebound adjustment has been doubled from 100lb (45kg) to 200lb (91kg) of difference, in addition to a greater compression flow rate.
The rebound adjuster itself has been updated and the air valve has switched sides and gone low profile, giving greater clearance and meaning the three-position, low-speed compression adjustment lever is more accessible. An increased negative air spring volume means that the initial third of the travel is now more supple than before.
The Monarch Plus shock will cost US$486 (£349.99/€435) when it becomes available in June 2013.
Under the baking Sedona sun, on a tricked-out, XX1-equipped Santa Cruz Tallboy LTc, it became immediately obvious that the Pike is a much stiffer and more direct affair than any previous RockShox 29er fork. It is more than a match for its rivals.
The secondary impression is that sensitivity is massively improved too, with the new negative spring giving the Monarch Plus shock a much more supple feel than previous models.
To help support the bike through corners and keep a spring in its step, we quickly settled on running the fork open, with a fair helping of low-speed compression, and the rear shock in the mid compression setting.
We left the fork pretty much alone after that – the Pedal setting significantly increases how firm the ride is and there was little in the way of smooth climbing where there was any advantage over the supportive yet supple Open setting.
However, it became quickly apparent that the rebound settings we’d chosen based on previous experience were way out, instantly pinballing us all over the place as soon as we hit any compressions.
The Rapid Recovery rebound damping means that the initial ‘bounce test’ feel is slower than you’d expect, and we’d set it to feel like what we would normally expect.
RockShox recommend that a good starting point is to set the shock two clicks slower than what you think it should be and, uncannily, that provided us with a setting that was spot on.
Fully set up, we got stuck into the mix of explosive sharp climbs, high-speed dust drifting and insanely grippy-but-rough rock riding the area is famous for.
“If you take a really rough and rocky section of trail and ride back-to-back using one shock with Rapid Recovery and one without – which we have done many times during development – you will notice that you use less travel and the shock feels softer with the Rapid Recovery unit.
Both units had an uncanny ability to cope with smaller-sized rocky trail chatter while reserving the skill to cope with high G cornering and repeated heavy hits. All without wallowing about in the middle of the travel, particularly mid-corner.
Rapid Recovery provides the snap and pop out of corners and off lips that a running rapid rebound gives, without the uncontrolled big hit manners such a setup would display.
The Rapid Recovery endows an almost schizophrenic ability to use the right amount of travel at the right place and maintain a lively, fun and fast feel. Add in the fact that the Pike can easily increase or decrease how progressive the spring is and it’s a fork that will suit a vast number of riders and styles, from average trail riders to serious enduro racers.
The Monarch Plus was significantly quieter, with a less choked feeling on rapid, hard hits. Even our long-legged 29er Pike was made conspicuous by the absence of any twang or flex no matter how hard we pushed.
To say that we’re keen to spend more time on home trails giving the new fork and shock a more complete long term test is an understatement. The fork has the potential to be a serious rival to anything currently available. The Monarch Plus has brushed up its manners and genuinely delivers on the promise of downhill shock performance at trail bike weight. Both products are well on target for a segment of the mountain biking world that looks set to grow.
We will be interested to see how well the Pike copes with a liberal dousing of wet mud and grit, rather than the less aggressive dusty, dry conditions in Sedona. But the lack of oil mixed with the dust on the fork legs after a hard couple of days is a good sign.
We’d bet that its popularity continues with the addition of a 150mm travel option. That will be available only as a Stealth model for the 31.6mm and new 34.9mm diameter posts.
Of interest to anyone with an internal hose routing will be the new ‘Connectamajig’ threaded hose coupler, which allows the hydraulic remote hose to be disconnected and reconnected about three times before the system needs bleeding.
It’s mostly aimed at making Stealth posts easier to fit when bikes are being assembled at a factory, but there’s no denying it will be a useful feature in many other circumstances.
The new options will be available from mid April and will cost US$455 (£299.99/€411).

I paid 500 Pesos, oops, not true, at the last moment in a fit of sleaze, the price changed to 700. I have no idea why, but the quoted price increase. On the other hand, the stand in dentist, not the owner or the dentist of the sign did a very good job.
Thailand is very good, however the dentist have no ability to talk English or explain anything, nonetheless both are cheap enough and available at a drop of the hat to clean your teeth. Now, am I going to have my teeth drilled or capped as the dentist recommend, I do not know. Would have been better if the price had not changed, I was sold on the idea up to then. | 2019-04-21T20:27:28 | https://www.hobotraveler.com/2006/05/10-dollars-to-clean-teeth-in-manila.html |
I don’t know if Chicago really produces more or better crime fiction. I’ll bet New York and L.A. writers would scoff at the notion. In fact, most writers working on either coast, or in Cleveland, Spokane, Omaha, Little Rock and everywhere in between would rightly argue that their home range is best.
My own current projects are set in Chicago, among some of the very same bus routes and neighborhoods Julie Hyzy — author of the White House Chef and the Manor Of Murder mystery series and the just-released thriller Virtual Sabotage — mentions in her Crime Reads piece “For Crime Writers, Chicago Is The Place To Be”. She isn’t cheerleading for the Windy City so much as pointing out what a surprisingly nurturing mystery/crime fiction community she’s discovered there. And if she did indeed wait at a CTA stop near Cook County Jail or ride the California Avenue bus south to the Marquette Park neighborhood commuting to high school, then she sliced right through a hunk of real Chicago: the southwest side’s ethnic blue collar bungalow belt. My in-progress ‘The Stiletto Gumshoe’ series is set primarily in Chicago’s Brighton Park neighborhood, just across the river and past the as-yet unbuilt expressway south of Cook County Jail, and immediately to the north of Ms. Hyzy’s high school destination. California Avenue – two lanes choked with cars and buses most of the way, sometimes residential, sometimes commercial, and unrelentingly brown bricked – is basically my novels’ eastern border. | 2019-04-25T11:52:52 | https://thestilettogumshoe.com/tag/chicago/ |
Just before you turn off the North Western motorway at Westgate there is a bright yellow steel pedestrian bridge crossing from near the shopping centre.
On Saturday morning we decided the rain would hold off for a few hours and that we would see what lay on the eastern side of the motorway, so we parked at the back of the shops and set off. At Oreil Ave we doubled back down towards the creek we had just crossed, and found a concrete path.
The track is quite pretty, but unfortunately the stream was rather stinky so we chose not to linger. After about half an hour we reached Moire Park, and we wandered around the perimeter for a while before heading back towards the Manutewhau stream (AKA Lawson’s Creek ).
It wasn’t long before we came to the long bright blue steel pedestrian bridge across to West Harbour Drive, the turn-around point of our trip. In the distance behind Felicity in the photo, you can just see the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
You might also notice the dark clouds in the sky; not long after we started back the rain stared and we had to put our ponchos on. We plan to see how far up the creek we can get in the kayaks one day, but I think we’ll eat elsewhere due to the pong!
You are checking out many new changes. Great bridge!
gee you do get around you folks .im sure that if the source of the nile was in this country youd find it . | 2019-04-24T00:25:25 | http://johnp.co.nz/2013/05/manutewhau-track/ |
Taking a page from its own history, Cartier’s Baignoire collection was inspired by Louis Cartier’s 1912 design, which stretched the traditional round watch into an oblong oval, resembling the shape of a bathtub—or a “baignoire.” Today, the brand has reworked the original Baignoire designs, presenting us with several variations of two models—the small model Baignoire watch and Allongée timepiece, which come in multiple size and color combinations. Our favorite? The white gold Allongée piece set with nearly 900 brilliant-cut sparkling diamonds. | 2019-04-24T08:54:40 | https://www.fashionwindows.com/48151-2/ |
Renowned BMW tuner G-Power has presented its take on the youngest and smallest member of the M family, the 1-Series M Coupe.
At the core of the upgrade package is a comprehensive tune of the 1M Coupe's 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six.
The German firm's engineers raise the pulse of the force-fed powerplant with an elaborate kit that includes reprogrammed software, flow optimized downpipes, enlarged capacity for the boost cooling system and a lightweight custom exhaust system made from titanium that shaves 20kg (44 pounds) over the stock exhaust. | 2019-04-20T19:17:11 | http://catazz.blogspot.com/2012/09/bmw-1-series-m-coupe-falls-into-hands.html |

One of the important innovations is setting boundary time limits for the carrying out of investigations by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine.
– For all other types of violation – two years.
Another important innovation is the provision regarding the new “settlement” institution for Ukraine. Its essence is that the antimonopoly body and the defendant in the case agree on the voluntary recognition by the defendant of all or part of the charges, for which a reduced fine is imposed.
An entity can at any stage of the case, before the Committee draws up preliminary conclusions on the case, submit an application to the Antimonopoly Committee to settle the case. Following the request, consultations are held between the parties, and the terms of the settlement are agreed and, in the event of reaching an agreement, the parties signs the relevant agreement.
It should be mentioned that the agreement is subject to approval by an economic court in accordance with the jurisdiction rules, and should contain a condition for the unconditional recognition of the violations by the defendant in the case, and the amount of the fine, which should be 20 percent less than the amount of fine that would be calculated according to the general rules. This statutory provision is quite interesting, but although it is not completely clear how it will be consistent with procedural legislation.
One more interesting innovation is the prohibition by the Law on appeals by the defendant against decisions of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine taken in accordance with the terms of the settlement procedure.
The conditions of the reached settlement cannot be declared to be information with restricted access, and should be fully described in the relevant decision of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine in the case.
The law also proposes the extension and improvement of the procedure for exempting from liability violations in the form of concerted actions, if persons have appealed to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine to declare that they recognize the violation. Complete exemption from liability for the first person applying is currently provided.
• A reduction of the fine by 20 percent for all others.
A more detailed description of the rights of case participants and defendants are specified by the Law. In particular, there is a clearly defined right to ask the antimonopoly bodies and obtain justified answers, the right to familiarize themselves with the case file (including the right to copy these materials), etc.
The issue of the adoption of preliminary conclusions in the case, and lodge objections to them, are also regulated more clearly.
An important change is the fact that the Law now establishes a minimum period of one month from the date of receipt of preliminary conclusions, during which objections should be filed (currently this period is 10 days), as well as a maximum period for which the term for submission of objections on the person’s application may be extended – up to three months.
In general, the Law is very important for the further development of antitrust regulation in Ukraine, and therefore we hope for its early signing by the president and for it to be published. | 2019-04-19T13:14:12 | http://antikalaw.com.ua/%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B5-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B0-%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%8B-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8-2/ |
The Corpora inSi(gh)te exhibition was shown at the Yamaguchi Center for Art & Media, between 13th October 2007 and 13th January 2008.
In “Corpora in Si(gh)te” a number of sensors are setup forming a meshnetwork throughout the area of YCAM in order to collect and distribute realtime environmental information such as temperature, brightness, humidity, wind direction and sound. The data collected from these sources are processed by a software and translated into nodes reflecting the sensor network. These nodes are the seeds for the virtual architecture of “Corpora” representing a cellular, distributed network of nodes that are reacting through realtime processing, growing and subsiding like an organism. Each node makes local decisions independently of a central architect. The nodes inadvertently give rise to an architectural structure, both in the YCAM building and in the park. This “information architecture” of nodes has its own spatial perception to make itself transform into various forms by relying on the super-eye concept. The fluid character of this architecture occurs as a living form. Visitors can observe this process by Augmented Reality Technology, located in various parts of YCAM.
See the project documentation site for more details on Corpora inSi(gh)te at YCAM. | 2019-04-23T18:29:04 | http://corpora.hu/en/exhibitions/insighte/ |
• STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Longtime educator and St. George resident Ruth Baker, 95, died Friday at Huntington Hospital in Huntington, L.I., from complications of pneumonia following surgery at Richmond University Medical Center to repair a hip fracture she sustained last month.??<p>Born Ruth Blum on Staten Island, she grew up in Port Richmond, graduated from PS 20 and Port Richmond High School, and earned a bachelor degree in education from New York University.??<p>Mrs. Baker was licensed as an elementary education teacher in 1941, and assigned to PS 36 in Annadale as a kindergarten teacher. She taught at the school until 1972, and served as principal for the last several years of her tenure there. The PTA and Annadale community honored her with a special retirement party in recognition of her service as a mainstay for 26 years. Many former students attended the event, including her son, Howard, who was enrolled at the school from kindergarten through 4th grade.?<p>"Mrs. Baker's Kindergarten was a special place where local school children received their first exposure to formal education, and her classroom provided a warm, fun, caring, and stimulating environment," her son recalled. "An annual spring highlight was the Class Fair students wore costumes they made, played games, and displayed their artwork. At this time, PS 36 was a small, one-class-per-grade schoolhouse," he said.??<p>Mrs. Baker moved from PS 36 to PS 22, where she mentored younger teachers.??<p>When her husband, Abraham, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WW II, Mrs. Baker lived with her parents in Port Richmond. She and her husband moved to Randall Manor in 1948, and to St. George in 1982.??<p>Mrs. Baker was a lifetime member of Temple Emanu-El in Port Richmond, and a long-time member of its Board of Trustees and Sisterhood. At the time of her death, she was the congregation's recording secretary. At the temple's 100th anniversary celebration in 2007, she was honored for her lifetime of devoted service to the synagogue. Her parents, Sidney and Blanche Blum, and grandparents, Jacob and Annie Reitman, were among Temple Emanu-El's earliest members.??<p>Mrs. Baker and her husband, Abraham, were founding members of the Island Swim Club.??<p>After retiring from teaching in 1980, she served as an active volunteer for many years at S.I. Hospital and Snug Harbor Cultural Center. She also served on the board of directors of the 50 Fort Place Cooperative, Inc., in St. George.??<p>In 1997, Mrs. Baker became the first volunteer at the Museum of American Finance on Wall Street in Manhattan. "Due in large part to her warm and friendly manner, the Museum always recorded more donations from tourists and visitors on the days when she was on duty," said her son.??<p>She also participated in United Federation of Teachers courses and programs for retired teachers, and enjoyed cooking, knitting, and the theater. Until her passing, she held special status as the "senior member" at Baker-Blumin family reunions.??<p>Her husband of 57 years, Abraham, died in 1996.??<p>In addition to her son, Howard, Mrs. Baker is survived by one granddaughter and two great-grandchildren.??<p>The funeral service is tomorrow at 11 a.m. at Temple Emanu-El, followed by burial at Baron Hirsch Cemetery, Graniteville.

We just changed locations for our Herb Hike and Meditation to King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas Ca.
We will meet in the field to the left at the end of the driveway.
King Gillette Ranch is such a hidden gem and we are so very happy to be able to share this magical place with our community.
Come join DisclosureFest™ for our community Herb Hike and Meditation with our magical guide Jess Starwood as she takes us on a journey to discover all the plants that share a space here with us in Southern California.
She will be discussing traditional and modern uses for many medicinal and edible native and non-native plant species in the Santa Monica Mountains.
Somewhere along the way, we have lost our intimate relationship with our natural world. Through natural plant medicines, wild foods and nature connection, we can rediscover ways to reignite that connection to help relieve modern day ailments while improving physical and psychological well-being. We will discuss wild edible plants, ethical foraging and healing through positive nature connection.
We will complete the morning with a visual meditation that will connect us with nature and ground us with our great mother Gaia and share in the unconditional love and oneness of this incredible and vast universe.
Location: NEW LOCATION TO BE ANNOUNCED! This is going to be such a treat!
Bring smiles, high vibrations, sunscreen, sunglasses, water, vegan snacks, crystals, oil essences, and pure love and light!

As President, I am pleased to report that our organization is strong, active, and hard at work. Thank you for your continued support. Your membership supports our award-winning programming for healthcare professionals in our region, sustains our philanthropic efforts in supporting medical students, residents, and fellows, and recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the education and training of learners in Geriatrics.
2016 has been a productive year. I hope you had the opportunity to attend one or all of the programs offered. The last program of the year (Fall Program) will take place November 1 at the University Club in Oakland. This year’s program includes a panel presentation featuring Jack Cahalane, PhD; Steven M. Handler, MD, PhD, CMD; and Andrew Watson, MD, MLitt, FACS, who will discuss new applications of Telemedicine for care of the elderly. The program promises to be outstanding. Mark your calendar and join us on November 1 as the evening is both educational and social, and is a perfect opportunity to network, socialize, and reconnect with colleagues, while benefiting from a quality presentation. This also is an opportune time to recruit a member by extending an invitation to attend the program and to join us in our professional efforts.
The Clinical Update in Geriatric Medicine and International HELP conference: Both conferences yielded a robust attendance, and comments and evaluation scores were superlative. Both are premier educational events, held “in our own backyard,” providing outstanding and timely education to all geriatric healthcare professionals. The conference is designed by the PAGS-WD planning committee, which is made up of a consortium of your colleagues, including those from the community, academic, and payor sectors.
Controversies in Geriatrics Medicine Program – In its second year, the program has exceeded expectations and continues to attract a large audience. What sets this case-based presentation apart from other programs is the focus on audience participation through interactive discussion from panelists and audience members.
Geriatrics Teacher of the Year Award – Initiated in 2016, this award recognizes outstanding teachers for their dedication and commitment to geriatric education and who have made significant contributions to the education and training of learners in Geriatrics. The call for nominations will begin October 1, with the awards presentation to take place during the dinner symposium at the 2017 Clinical Update.
David C. Martin Award – Named after Pittsburgh’s first full-time geriatrician, this award provides financial support for medical students and other trainees who have had scholarly work accepted for presentation at the national meeting of the American Geriatrics Society. A student may receive up to $1,500 for travel, registration, and hotel costs. Since its inception, the society has granted more than $79,000 to awardees.
Resident and Fellow interest remains strong, with recruitment of 8 new Resident and Fellow members this year. This brings the total number of Resident and Fellow members to 30. The society waives membership dues for the length of training. We hope this initiative will be a pipeline to bring young physicians into our organization.
As a part of the Society, your commitment is a testament to our efforts and mission: to educate, communicate, and engage health care professionals in the provision of quality health care for all older persons. I look forward to seeing you November 1. | 2019-04-25T18:45:08 | https://pagswd.org/page-1075324 |
The EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM is so fast that... How fast is it? Shooting outdoors on a sunny day at ISO 100 with a Canon EOS 30D and the lens wide-open, the required exposure exceeded the camera's maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. I had to stop down to f/1.6 to get proper exposure with the least possible depth of field. On a cloudy (really cloudy, not a "cloudy bright") day I was able to shoot wide-open at ISO 100 and get good exposures at 1/1600 sec, which produced tack-sharp images with a delightfully shallow depth of field.
Even at f/1.6, the EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM delivers good bokeh. This characteristic is generally considered to be a product of the aperture's shape (note the almost perfectly circular out-of-focus highlight) and spherical aberration that's inherently produced by a lens.
Bokeh is an optical buzzword derived from the Japanese word for "fool" (as in it's not nice to fool Mother Nature) and is used to describe the pleasing quality of an image's out-of-focus areas. A little more subjective than the Richter scale, most photographers know good bokeh when they see it, even if they don't know the term. At f/1.2, the EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM produces a pleasant bokeh.
For a while I stopped being a fan of Skylight, UV, or even protection filters, but putting a scuff mark on the front of my (expensive) EF 10-22mm zoom convinced me otherwise. Similarly, you'll want to invest in a high-quality 72mm Skylight (or whatever) filter to protect the front element of a $2000 lens like this one. While filter shopping you might also want to pick up a Neutral Density filter to let you use the lens at its widest aperture on sunny days. A lens hood is also a good idea, but while there's a nice pouch included in the box, the (ES-79II) lens hood is a $50 option.
To create this faux cyanotype I photographed Lorie using only the window light coming through my back door. (The cyanotype was invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842 and was the first successful non-silver photographic printing process. It's blue, hence the name.) Image was captured directly in monochrome using the Canon EOS 30D's blue toning capabilities. Exposure was 1/125 sec at f/2.8 at ISO 320. Camera was in Shutter Priority mode and deliberately underexposed by 1/3 stop to increase shadows and blue saturation.
To paraphrase Speed TV's Tom Hnatiw (www.dreamcargarage.com): Do you need a lens like this? If you are a professional photographer the stunning image quality Canon's EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM delivers is what you want and your clients expect. If you shoot weddings and portraits, the ability to capture luminous low-light portraits gives you an edge in capturing that decisive moment, and can make the different between a good shot and a great one.

Hello Acting Manitou Friends and Family, It's Madison here, a veteran camper and a second year bunk counselor in Wasserstein this summer.
We started the day as usual with Flag Raising and Breakfast which was followed by some nice Morning Warm Ups. After that campers went off to finish off their production classes. A normal morning right?
Well after the usual, and always exciting, afternoon rehearsals and waterfront each and every cabin had found an invitation at the door inviting them to a banquet and ball hosted by the esteemed Lord and Lady Dervishplow. Very exciting! All the campers went off to prepare for the banquet in some of their best and favorite attire.
But upon entering the pavilion things started to get suspicious, because in the midst of dinner Mr. Archibald Scallion was murdered and campers old and new were officially welcomed to our annual murder mystery night.
Our young inspectors worked tirelessly to right this horrible wrong with a series of interrogations and challenging in determined to gather as many clues as possible. In the end the villainous Reginald Huxley was taken into custody and our heroic group of campers were rewarded with a wonderful ball. | 2019-04-24T10:33:15 | https://www.actingmanitou.com/blog/blog-post-july-8th-2017 |

Today Trump met with Putin in Finland. In a press conference, 45 appeared joyful to be with Putin, complimenting him and Russia, completely ignoring how the country interfered in U.S. elections. As we all know, Trump cares more about himself than America, so he probably sold the country to Russia for a few dozen prostitutes.
There was one Republican who was not here for Trump’s shenanigans with Putin — Arizona Senator John McCain.
Nothing but truth from John McCain, 81, who is fighting brain cancer. That said, while McCain’s biting words hit home, for the most part he always sides with Trump. For example, Trump’s inexcusable Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch, the nomination of Kirstjen Nielsen to be secretary of Homeland Security, nominating the inexperienced Ben Carson as the sectary of Housing and Urban Development and much more. Therefore, it would be better if McCain’s voting record matched his words. Then again, not much can be expected from a man who receives more money from the NRA than any other senator. | 2019-04-20T16:40:51 | https://newsone.com/3817426/senator-john-mccain-trump-putin/ |

As the world watches and listens to historic change in Iran, I wonder if the protesters really know how far their media has traveled. Their access to the internet is blocked. Only a few foreign journalists have been allowed to stay and reporting is limited. The images of young people banded together for a common cause are quite compelling.
For some of the authors on this blog, this is the first massive movement of activism you have noticed with global impact.
“You” emerged more than a few years ago as the hero for Time Magazine’s person of the year. (2006) Citizen journalism or “participatory journalism” is not necessarily new by technology timelines.
The dramatic footage sent by mostly young people from Iran tell a story deeper than civil protest. There is no violence in this movie file. Turn up the volume. Listen to the story. This is one long continuous shot from a mobile phone, traveling along the street during protest. It is about technology. It is their primary link to the outside world for expression. These are authentic stories that have crossed all channels and platforms using all types of media.
Culture. It is a very good word.
Around the world. How many websites you can tell about the culture? Too many. I find a popular site, to share with my friends. It is – J! – ENT for pop culture, fashion, music, talks and entertainment.
It is for all countries. People’s lives and the way we are talking. I have to travel to countries in Europe, America and India.
Today this information = statement of thanks to the computer and I think our precious mobile phone.
I know about the world with a connection to the Internet. If no internet I would not know this place.
I as born in Pamplona/Iruña (Navarra/Nafarroa) the 29th of june 1993.
Now, I live in a small town called Orihuela/Oriola, situated in Alicante, south-east of Spain.
Orihuela is a monumental town, there are lots of gothic churches, palaces and old buildings. Orihuela has much history. Hundreds of years ago, Orihuela was one of the most important cities in Spain. 84.626 people live here now.
I like music, going to the cinema, reading, watching TV, skiing (I go skiing every year, I love skiing), swimming, going snorkeling, riding on bike, playing computer games.
I love the beach (I go to the beach every weekend and on holidays), I love the mountain too.
I rarely buy computer games, I download them on the internet.
Spanish films aren’t very good. I don’t normally see Spanish films, I prefer hollybood films, but many of those films are very unreal.
I listen to Spanish music, but also a lot of music in English. I like all kind of music, no, sorry, I don´t like house and reggae – but especially like rock, hard rock, SKA, heavy. I like Mago D e Oz, Marea, Boikot…and many others.
On TV, I see Spanish programs, like “Salvados”, “Buenafuente”, “El Intermedio” and “Qué vida más triste”. I normally see American films. I see some TV series like “Aida”, “Aquí no hay Quien Viva” and American series like House, CSI and Criminal Minds.
I really enjoy reading. I like Harry Potter, like Samantha. My Spanish literature and language teacher is Rosa Cáceres, and she´s a writer. I’ve read one of her books and she writes very good. My fauvorite writers are Dan Brown, J.K Rowling, Ken follet, Tolkien and Ildefonso Falcones.
One of the best books I have read is “The sea cathedral”.
All of it. It’s not a photo and was recently created by an artist. I’m still trying to find the artist. So, someone will be drawing CD covers in 10 years since we download all our music. I am sure innovation trumps invention. With every new device people think the world will change overnight. The iPhone could be an exception. Things did change overnight. Otherwise, very few inventions changed the world as quickly. There was another tape format that looked just like these VHS tapes called “Betacam.” It didn’t last for home use, but was a breakthrough format for documentary makers and television stations. Most of us are innovators. Occasionally we think of something simple that hasn’t been made before. As this blog populates with more of you, discuss your innovation here. One of you will invent something new someday. The innovation that you collaborate with others will probably lead you there. Bill Gates. Steve Jobs. Sergei Brin. Inventors or Innovators? Or just great leaders? | 2019-04-23T23:59:39 | https://riseofthetechnologyclass.wordpress.com/tag/media/ |
I mentioned something in one of my last posts about how our perception of something affects how our children view it. And yesterday, I was spending time with a dear friend, catching up on her family. Her daughter recently had a baby, and we were discussing how relaxed this little one was. He was a sweet little boy, very happy and easy-going. Now, this got me thinking… We all like the idea of a child who is easy to care for, always happy and very relaxed. But, of course, our little ones arrive with a fully functioning personality that doesn’t take much time to show itself. Believe me, I know.
Some of my children came into the world in a cloud of peacefulness and joy, while one of them came into it, though very happy, quite intense, challenging everything that came his way.
Now I’m not going to focus on children’s personalities. Much of that is an inherent part of them.
But as moms, we do have an opportunity to create an environment where they are able to learn to handle things around them in a much easier way.
For example, imagine when a toddler is trying to take his first steps. He slowly pulls himself up, swaying back and forth a bit until he gets his bearings. Then he lets go of his support and tries to lift his foot as he toddles forward a bit. Next, the inevitable happens…he plops down on his bottom. That next moment is a critical one. Once he hits the floor, he is gauging his circumstances. He looks to you to see your facial expression. He listens for the tone of your voice to get a clue as to how he should react to this predicament.
If you smile and sweetly say, “You’re OK. You’re fine! Let’s get up again.” He very likely will begin to smile, too, comforted because you are fine with what just happened.
But, on the other hand, if you have a scared or upset expression and respond with, “Oh no! You fell down! Are you hurt? Oh, my poor baby!!!," you can guess his response to that one. Yep. He will begin to cry, and eventually learn that he should cry every time he falls.
Now, I’m not advocating a stoic face even if your child is hurt. But can you see how our children look to us for clues to how to react in situations? They watch and learn from us to see if they should be apprehensive, fearful, or easily agitated.
I know some young moms who are very relaxed in their parenting. If they don’t know what to do in a situation, they calmly ask questions, trying not to show extreme emotions for the sake of their children. And their children seem to be pretty mellow when it comes to expressing their needs.
Yet some moms I know face great fear of the unknown, great fear of being unable to control the many situations of parenthood. So they face many situations with anxiety and nervousness. And their children can pick that up.
Don’t get me wrong here. I knew NOTHING about raising children when we had our first baby. I had done very little babysitting and was not around kids for most of my growing up years. And my husband and I were one of the first in our little circle of married friends who had had a baby. So I had nothing to build on. Few to ask. My mother was a great help for many things. But I really wanted peers who could come alongside me and we could walk together. In the days before the hyper-connected-ness of the internet and other social media, there was very little available for us. And, yes, I was nervous and a little scared.
But I am grateful for a few women who spoke into my life, modeling a gentle spirit. They encouraged me to lean on my Lord and trust that He knew what He was doing when he gave me this little life to be a mother to. He gave me His word which was full of wisdom. I had to believe that He knew what He was doing, because He is omniscient. How could I say I knew better?
So I openly embraced this parenting thing. I struggled with it sometimes, but I purposed to give my apprehension to my Lord, and not worry if I would be ruining these little lives that were now in our household. Each day, I prayed for wisdom and did my best. And I tried to exhibit that to my children. I tried to show them that, though I didn’t think that I had it all together, I knew that our God did. And that gave me peace. They could also have peace in their hearts, knowing that their Heavenly Father was in control.
I think that is what helped me to drop the constant worry and anxiety that came into my mind. It helped set a more peaceful tone over our home, and I think that is part of what helped our children to walk through their days without as much drama or intensity.
Now, that doesn’t mean we didn’t have drama and intensity in our days. There was crying, discipline, struggles, and lots of stress. But I tried to call on the Lord daily for His strength through it. As I read my Bible, I was able to regain my focus and get right perspective as I approached the day. It gave me a peace in my heart that helped me to face the definitely un-peaceful moments in our lives.
The more I made it a habit in my day, the easier it was to navigate those stressful times and exhibit that heart of peace to my children.
I don’t have it all together. I don’t.
But I know where to go. And I purposed to keep going there. On my knees, praying. In my mind, reading. And in my heart, meditating on His truth.
Keep going, sweet friends. God gave you your children because He knew YOU would be the best ones to raise them. He will equip you and give you peace as you do it!

Today also marks three years since I started this silly little blog of mine.
If it's okay with you, I'd like to just get real here for a minute and discuss a few things that I like and don't like about blogging.
We'll start with what I don't like.
I don't like when people assume they know everything that is going on in a blogger's life simply by reading his or her blog. There are plenty of things I choose not to share on here and I'd bet the same for others. And they're probably the things and feelings and happenings that you should know about if you're a friend. I think we all need to remember that reading blogs and updates on other forms of social media are not a replacement for asking and knowing how someone is doing. It's easy to just read a status, a post, a tweet and pretend that we are somehow still connected to that person even though we have made no sort of effort in interaction. For someone you hardly know or don't even know at all, that's perfectly fine. And you probably do feel closer as a result. But let us make it a point to not be so lazy in our closer relationships. We are all at fault, including myself. Pick up your phone and call someone. Send them a letter or an email and start with, "how are you?" Be the one to schedule a date or a visit. It's hard enough to make new real friends. Don't let the ones you already have slip away because you made no effort in maintaining the relationship. While my blog can allow my family and friends to see glimpses of my life, I deeply cherish all the separate talks and letters and emails and visits that allow for important and less surface-level conversations. Besides, my blog is mainly me yakking about my cooking ineptitude, latest doodles, and my current shoe obsession. Please don't let that be a reflection of the extent of my story or what I view as important in my or my loved ones' lives.
I don't like when people read blogs and think that the lives of the bloggers are "perfect." It's an easy misconception when many times, you're only seeing small portions of a bigger picture. Don't envy what looks like a happier situation...'cause it's not. Even the most perfectly-styled-fashionista blogger has her disheveled days in sweatpants. Even the most in-love-happy-go-lucky couple argues and fights. Even the person with, what seems to be, the perfect job has days where he or she absolutely hates it. Don't ever interpret someone's entire life based on their blog, assuming they don't have their own struggles. We're all battling something. For the record, my life is far from perfect. And I am far from perfect. I have insecurities. I have days when I wake up and want nothing to do with anyone. I am stubborn. I make mistakes. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least a little tired. Right now? I feel exhausted. I'm still trying to figure life out. The one thing I think I've figured out? Is that I know I will never have it all figured out.
Maintenance. I don't have time to squeeze in a hair appointment let alone time to sit here and make all the adjustments I envision for this blog and my main website. But I know I need to tweak some a lot of things with the layout and links and go back and clean things up. One day! :) Blog maintenance is --simply put -- difficult. I just had to buy more Google storage and I'm in the process of figuring out this iCloud business at home to back up all of my work. It's exhausting trying to keep up in a way that allows for an easy system that has room to grow. I can't even imagine the behind-the-scenes work professional bloggers must do. Keeping up with blogs and social media can be tiring, for sure. Do you ever wonder when we'll all just throw our hands in the air and stop already? But seriously, how long do we have to tweet?
Pinterest. I love it, but I hate it. Nowadays with Pinterest, it can be way too easy to just regurgitate others' ideas. Some people host entire blogs that never include anything original. Yes, blogging is a conversation of re-sharing ideas -- and I find Pinterest and other blogs extremely inspiring and enjoy including my favorite finds here -- but bloggers (myself incuded) must sit back and show more individuality with adding more of our own photographs, designs, images, discussions, and ideas. We can't let Pinterest and other sites impede our creativity.
And what do I like - better yet, love, about blogging?
I love giving myself assignments. It's like homework with zero repercussions. You're just putting something out into the world to be read and if people don't like it, oh well. As a kid, I used to play teacher and pupil simultaneously (what happens when you have no siblings your age and the farm pets don't speak English). What kid makes herself worksheets to fill out? And then grades them? And purposefully makes mistakes for the "teacher" to have something to correct? For fun?! Yep! That'd be me. There's something very exciting about thinking, "let's find some great gift ideas to suggest!" and following through with that idea. In a weird way, it has pushed me in other areas of my life. If I truly decide I'm going to do something, no matter how big or small, I surprise myself and actually do it.
Meeting new people. I am aware of the fact that the majority of my readers are either friends, my mom, people I'm connected to on Facebook & Twitter, my mom, and people that stumble upon my blog from Googling things like "crying little girl" and "funny orange kitten pictures" (two actual traffic sources from yesterday). But there is a group of you out there, that for whatever reason, have stuck around despite not knowing me any other way. Honestly, some of the most rewarding moments from this blog have been emails I have received from readers...people that are seeking advice on moving to this big scary city and whether it's physically possible to find an apartment (and I sit down and spend hours on an obnoxiously long response because I know how much I could have benefitted from that help when I moved here)...or people that present other blogging opportunities and inquire about hiring me for custom illustrations, etc. It's extremely rewarding to feel like I've pushed "little lady" past the eyes of my mom ;) and I can try to help / give / motivate / inspire others.
Keeping track. As Patrick can attest, I have the world's worst longterm memory. On the contrary, he remembers everything. Like what I was wearing and how I was standing when I met him in 2005. He's told me before, but not surprisingly, I can't remember! Guess that's why I keep him around. ;) In all seriousness, when I look back on my past, so much of it is just one. big. blur. I remember some vivid images/memories and time frames, but most of it is jumbled in no particular order and based on pictures I have seen since. It's pretty sad and pathetic, really. I absolutely love, though, that I can look back on old posts from these past 3 years and read about what I was up to and remember how I was feeling in that particular moment when I wrote it. It brings it all back and helps me keep track. And for that, I am very thankful.
Thank you to anyone out there that reads my little blog. Thank you for keeping in mind that much of what I discuss is just silly nonsense to lighten our days. Thank you for remembering that there is a lot more to the lives of the bloggers you read about. Thank you, if you're another blogger, for joining me in striving for originality within our posts. And thank you, little lady in the big apple, for surprising me these past 3 years...and giving back so much in return. | 2019-04-24T12:56:32 | http://virginialucashart.com/blog/2012/10/16/500th-post-likes-and-dislikes-of-blogging |
Each year on the 24th of May, the Dominican Order marks “little St Dominic’s day” which is the feast commemorating the moving of St Dominic’s relics into its Shrine in Bologna. As a mark of the friendship between our holy fathers St Dominic and St Francis, there is a venerable custom of inviting a Franciscan friar to preach at the Mass of St Dominic. This year, we will welcome Fr Jacob Marie Hausman CFR, a priest of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal based in Canning Town, London. Sung Mass is at 6pm followed by a reception in the Priory. | 2019-04-18T17:28:36 | https://rosaryshrine.co.uk/24-may-translation-of-st-dominic/ |

Quick visit to Brookside Gardens today and found that the butterflies are all over the place! For a change this summer, the weather was magnificent today with moderate temperatures and low humidity, a rare occurrence in July here.
For earlier pictures of Brookside Gardens, click here.
There is a little known but beautiful park in Northeast Washington DC, right across the Anacostia River from the National Arboretum that comes to life in mid-July to early August when the gorgeous lotus bloom in a riot of pink and white flowers. This is the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens where normally you meet just a few souls but this time of the year there are many more than usual but still relatively few compared to other places and given the beauty of the place. I still think of it as a well-kept secret in the Washington area.Lots of photographer there and for a good reason. In addition to the lotus flowers there are water lilies in the ponds, some of which will not bloom until late in the summer and early fall, as well as short trails to explore the marshes.
This past Sunday when I visited the gardens it was pretty hot with a harsh sun light, not the best for photography, but I think I managed to get a few shots. There is always next year for better light so this year I did as all photographers do: get the shot and live another day or another year for better light.
To my fellow photographers, good light!
Early on in the spring visitors to our home found nice accommodations in a hanging basket in the front porch of our house. There were improvements made to these accomodations, for sure, to make the place more suitable to raising a nice family, and despite the traffic through the porch, including the mailman delivering correspondence right next to the hanging basket, the price was right and the inconveniences bearable; little ones soon emerged and another cycle of life completed.

Why Cuda? Well I love fishing for them and very few artists celebrate them in their work. This is a new one I am working on called “Keys – Cuda”.

If you haven’t figured out my pattern, I tend to follow a tedious painting with a loose more expressive one… it helps me stay… happy.
We hung artwork today at the new Square Grouper Bar and Grill in Islamorada, FL. If you are down visiting the Florida Keys, come check it out. The food is fabulous and we have some great new Saltwater pieces on display.
“Abstract Yellowstone Cutthroat – Old Faithful”, was an original painting commissioned by Yellowstone National Park Lodges, which is part of a new program to benefit Yellowstone Forever. There was a artist reception at Lake Hotel in the “Lake” area of Yellowstone National Park.
Oops…Drips went crazy… Lets see where this one goes!
I buckled down and got through the poured acrylic Tarpon Flank today. Sometimes the technique worked brilliantly, others it was a struggle. In the end I’m really excited about the effect that it achieved.
The “Picasso Triggerfish”. I figured I’d let the design on this amazing fish dictate the entire painting. What do you think?
Well… the pepto pink was just the underpainting. This was a fun one…Cuda are one of my absolute favorite fish.
I love these colors together. Been painting everyday for a week, now time to recharge and chase some fish.
Cubist Brookie meets Quilted Brookie! This one is FAR OUT THERE!! What do you think? Too far out? Or are you diggin this look? This painting may induce an acid trip flashback! Watch at your own risk!
It was good to spend the week working on this painting from a series that I haven’t visited in a while. “4 Panel Brookie – UP” oil on 4 canvases.
“Cubist Brook Trout”. From the first painting I completed in this series, I couldn’t wait to do a Cubist Brookie. It ended up quite a bit more representational then others from this series. Do you prefer the more stylized earlier versions, or this more representational take on the idea?
I used a palette knife on this one. I really like the texture it created. I’m a believer in pushing a painting hard, to the point it has as likely a chance to end up in the garbage as the gallery. For me, it allows me to discover so much more. Whether it is fine art or garbage… well that is up to you.
I wish we had Dorado swimming around in Lake Michigan!! I chose to paint him blue after seeing schools of ghostly blue Dorado follow a bright green hooked fish to the boat side. I would cast a bait fish fly out to them, and WAM!! FISH ON! Immediately after being hooked, the blue Dorado would turn bright green! No wonder I love painting fish.
#2 in the Cubist Trout Series. “Cubist Cutthroat ” 36″ x 52″ acrylic on canvas. As I painted this guy, memories of floating hopper flies down long slow runs on Slough Creek kept playing through my head. Such a slow, methodical rise.
For my Rainbow Trout Lovers, my favorite spot to catch bows was a riffle just outside of Livingston, Montana.
This guy has lived in my sketch book since last March. He’s now come to life on a 36 x 52″ canvas.
As I approach the end of a painting, I take my painting in the house for my final critique. The change of location and light helps me see what final changes need to happen.
I gotta say I was sad not to be taking this baby home with me!! We raised just short of $5k with the Brown Trout Flank Taylor Guitar that I painted at ICAST. The money will be used by Bonefish Tarpon Trust to continue its efforts to study, understand and protect our shallow water species.
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve offered a fresh Brown Trout Flank painting. This one is done in acrylic, finished in oil (on canvas). The size is 18 x 30″ and for sale in the Available Originals Section on our site.
A brand new Trout Confetti, Oil on Paper. The size is 11 x 30″ and for sale in the Available Originals Section on our site.
“Tarpon Monkey” in progress. Inspired by a sketch I did while floating down a river in Costa Rica, looking for rolling tarpon, and hearing the howler monkeys in the distance.
Added the finishing touches to “Jungle Tarpon” yesterday and ready to be boxed up and shipped out. Can’t wait for you to see this one in person Grant! Work is done, time to have some fun, watch out Tarpon, I’m on the prowl!
Sending out “Tarpon Flank-Sunlit” to it’s new home this week. The scales of a tarpon are SO cool!! LOTS of subtle hues and patterns in them. | 2019-04-22T15:06:36 | https://www.derekdeyoung.com/about-derek/derek/new-at-the-studio |
I’m Raquila-D’Nai (it’s a mouthful but sounds like, Ruh-kill-uh Duh-nae, hope that made it easier)! As a military spouse and stay-at-home mom, it is important for me to not only care for my family now but to look ahead and prepare for life after active duty. Add to my list of titles blogger, author-in-the-making (if I can sit long enough and actually type out the thoughts swirling around in my head) and crafting connoisseur. My friends joke that I have 86.7 collegiate degrees but I’ve earned three degrees in psychology and counseling and hold a certification as a life coach. I have found my power not in titles and diplomas but in contentment and discovery. As a crafter, word fancier and master-doer-of-stuff, I have honed in on what makes my heart tick (beyond my handsome man and two incredibly adorable girls). I am drawn to words and encouraging others. I use the skills I have refined within our four walls to serve others as a Concept & Solution Developer. Basically, I use my ever-flowing creative juices to help those who need a shot of creativity infused into their business and lives.
Here, you will have access to my blog where I will share with you the truths of my heart, adventures of life and motherhood. I will bridge them together and show you how we are crafting our own unconditional life while growing a business from the ground up. I don’t promise to fix your life but I bet you will laugh a bit, get a few ideas or none-the-less feel better that the reality of my messy life still inspires me to smile and keep going. So, get comfy and check things out over here cause every good joke needs an audience and I tell ya-I can’t make this stuff up! So, join me and let’s make things happen together!
I hope you stick with me after this next sentence, because success is all-inclusive! Before listing any other titles or descriptions I have to that I am believer in Jesus Christ and my professional practices that are based on biblical principles I have learned and implemented to be successful in life and business. He has made it possible for me to be all that I am now.
I am no more talented, gifted or special than you or any other person that God created but I have DECIDED to accept all that I am (pretty-likable yet flawed) to help you start living out the desires of your heart. I grew up an only child of divorced parents and an Air Force brat. We moved from Washington D.C. to Puyallup, Washington (home of the fair with the most delicious onion burgers EVER) where I spent most of my adolescence. For the past ten (almost eleven) years I have been married an awesome man who has dedicated his life to serving our country. Together, we have two little loves we call Munchkin & Peanut! Those degrees I mentioned earlier, they include earned two undergraduate degrees with concentrations in psychology and a Master of Arts degree in Guidance and Counseling with a concentration in school counseling.
Above all other titles consider myself to be an Overcomer. Why? Because, 1 John 5:5 “Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” I have overcome so many things only by the unconditional Grace and Mercy of Jesus. You name it, I probably did it (twice); addiction to alcohol, heartache, failure, quitting, frivolous retail therapy (AKA debt), depression, low self-image, and the list goes on. I have also been blessed with an awesome circle of people who loved and supported me through those complex and (sometimes dismal) experiences. It is from those dark times and great triumphs that I gained the experience, knowledge and wisdom that I now use to equip others in overcoming obstacles by thinking outside of the box and focusing on idea implementation. Normal is different for all of us, but in every person lies that desire to have an unconditional life, being free to explore, excel and design our best selves. Let’s link arms and journey through curating unconditional lives, together!
There is life to be lived and while it may have taken me 30 years to get it together, let me help you begin re-writing your future TODAY!
Here’s to Creating Your Unconditional Life! | 2019-04-23T11:59:26 | http://raquiladnai.com/about-2/ |
Living with a Septic System or an Aerobic Treatment Unit.
Why does my system backup or struggle to perform during periods of heavy rain?
Why do my spray heads continuously operate when it rains?
Are vehicles, decks, sheds or livestock allowed over the soil treatment area?
What plants are appropriate for the soil treatment area?
Do antibiotics affect system performance?
What should not be flushed down the drain?
You may not realize it, but if you have a septic system in your backyard, you are the owner of a small scale wastewater treatment system. As the owner you are responsible for maintaining a properly operating system to protect the health of you, your neighbors and the environment. A malfunctioning wastewater treatment system can release nutrients and pathogens which harm water quality and pose a threat to public safety.
The essentials for operating and maintaining a conventional septic system or an aerobic treatment unit start at the source of the wastewater stream. The occupants control the amount of water, organic material, and chemicals that enter the waste stream. A wastewater treatment system is designed to accept a specific volume of water and organic material. Exceeding these design volumes can have a significant impact on the performance of your system.
A wastewater treatment system relies on calm conditions to allow the separation of solids from the wastewater. These calm conditions are disrupted by excessive water usage or hydraulic loading. Doing several loads of laundry back to back in a single day can create a hydraulic overload and turn the calm conditions in the tank to whitewater rapids. When this happens, solids are not allowed to settle and will travel further down the system, possibly clogging pumps, spray heads, or drain fields.
Both conventional septic systems and aerobic treatment units are full of numerous microorganisms that are actively digesting and breaking down organic waste. These microorganisms are naturally occurring; therefore it is not necessary to pour additives, yeast or any other materials down the drains. Avoid excessive use of cleaners or toxic chemicals which can kill microorganisms.
The microorganisms in an aerobic treatment unit rely on the right mixture of food and air to stay alive and actively treat waste. The compressor in the yard supplies the air and the residents supply the food. A system is organically overloaded when there is more organic material than the microorganisms can treat and digest. This results in a quicker accumulation of solids and the need for more frequent maintenance. A kitchen garbage disposal can significantly increase the amount of organic loading and may reduce the pump out intervals by 1 to 2 years.
Even though an aerobic treatment unit contains a disinfection devise such as an ultra violet lamp or chlorine, the water exiting the spray heads may still contain potentially harmful pathogens. Maintaining a healthy vegetative cover in the spray field will remove excess water, nutrients, and allow the final treatment processes to occur in the soil.
Being mindful of what goes down your drain is a simple yet important step in managing your septic system or aerobic treatment unit. Maintaining your system will result in higher satisfaction, improved performance and protect environmental health.
My toilets do not flush during periods of heavy rain. My spray heads always spray when it rains. What can be done to correct this?
Divert any rainwater running off driveways, the roof and other hard surfaces away from the soil treatment area of the final treatment and dispersal component. The soil treatment area is designed to manage a specific amount of water. Rainwater could fill the system, leaving no room for wastewater. Design landscaping to carry runoff water around the soil treatment area.
Water collecting over the components can leak into them. Also, the tanks are installed in an excavation that is backfilled with material that can collect water. If the system is not watertight, the collected water can enter the system and flush sewage through the treatment system and into the yard.
Look at the ground over the tanks to see if a depression has developed where rainwater could accumulate. Rainwater infiltrating the system can overload the treatment components.
Evaluate the color and growth of grass around the tank. Excessive growth and darker green color than the other grass in the yard indicates that the tank or piping is broken.
If the tank has a riser, verify that it is in good condition and properly sealed to prevent infiltration.
Evaluate the system performance during rainy periods: Rainwater may be infiltrating the system if there is an unexplained number of dosing cycles and/or if the spray distribution system is spraying during a rain shower.
Do not build driveways, storage buildings, or other structures over the pretreatment or final treatment and dispersal components. These solid surfaces prevent access to the system for maintenance, reduce the ability of water to evaporate from the soil and restrict air movement into the soil. Reduce compaction of the soil by keeping vehicles, equipment and livestock off the wastewater treatment area. Compacted soil will reduce infiltration in the soil adsorption field.
Maintain a grass cover over the final treatment and dispersal component. Plant warms season grasses that use more water and over-seed with cool season grasses during the winter. Grasses remove a significant portion of the water from a system, and the grass cover must be maintained. Trees also remove water and can be planted around the system perimeter. However, roots from trees planted too close to the soil treatment area can clog distribution pipes.
Prescription antibiotics and drugs are extremely hard on the microbes in the system. Flushing them into the wastewater system increases the maintenance. Visit the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website for information on the disposal of unused medications.
The toilet is not a trash can. Do not dispose of cleaning tissues, wet wipes, cigarette butts, diapers, condoms, or other trash in the toilet. These items do not degrade and result in a faster accumulation of solids that must be removed by a pump truck. | 2019-04-26T02:32:06 | https://ossf.tamu.edu/frequently-asked-questions/ |

Materials indicated are generally applied. Specifically detailed elements may have trims, edges, bulkheads and other such elements in compatible materials to suit design and functional requirements.
Off-form concrete surface is subject to imperfection in general, due to the nature of material and construction process. There will be tonality differences, honeycomb holes, uneven surfaces with rough edges which are done intentionally.
Stone is a natural material containing veins with tonality differences. There will be colour and markings caused by their complex mineral compositions and incorporated impurities. While such materials can be pre-selected before installation, this non-conformity cannot be totally avoided.
Similarly, terrazzo is made from natural stone chips and is prone to tonality differences.
Natural timber with various grains and tonality differences are inherent properties of this material. While timber will be pre-selected before installation, this non-conformity cannot be totally avoided. Due to exposure to weathering, natural discolouration or difference in tonality is unavoidable.Timber requires regular maintenance.
Glass is a manufactured material that is not 100% pure. Invisible nickel sulphide impurities may cause spontaneous glass breakage in certain pieces of heat-strengthened glass. It is not possible to detect this defect prior to the breakage, which may occur in all heat-strengthened glass by all manufacturers.

Use functions associated with the data types.
Understand the scope of variables.
The first three data types—numbers, strings, and Booleans—should be fairly familiar to programmers in any language. The latter three—null, undefined, and objects—require some additional explanation. I examine each of the data types in turn and explain objects further in Chapter 8.
Using Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse, or another editor, edit the file example1.html in the Chapter04 sample files folder in the companion content.
The resulting variable is then passed to the alert() function, which displays the dialog box in the preceding step 3. It’s interesting to note that even though you multiplied two hexadecimal numbers, the output in the alert dialog box is in base 10 format.
In Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse, or another editor, create a new HTML file or edit the isnan.html file in the companion content.
In the file, place the following markup. If you’ve created a new file with Vision Studio, delete any existing contents first.
The function isNaN() returns false from this expression because the integer value 4 is a number. Remember that the meaning of this function is, “Is 4 Not a Number?” Well, 4 is a number, so the result is false.
Now consider the next example.
If you’re running through Microsoft Visual Studio, stop the project. For those not running Visual Studio, close the web browser.
The isNaN() function is used frequently when validating input to determine whether something—maybe a form variable—was entered as a number or as text.
The result is shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 Viewing the value of the Math.PI property.
Dot notation is so named because a single period, or dot, is used to access the members of an object. The single dot (.) creates an easy visual delineator between elements. For example, to access a property that you might call the “length of a variable room,” you would write room.length. The dot operator is used similarly in many programming languages.
Several other properties of the Math object can be helpful to your program. Some of them act as functions or methods on the object, several of which are listed in Table 4-2. You can obtain a complete list of properties for the Math object in the ECMA-262 specification at http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-262.pdf.
Here’s an example of some escape sequences in action.
In Visual Studio, Eclipse, or another editor, open your sample page.
View the page in a browser. You’ll see a page like the following. Notice that the tab characters don’t show through because the browser interprets HTML and not tab characters.
This rather contrived example shows escape sequences in action. In the code, the word hello is followed by two tabs, represented by their escape sequence of \t, followed by an escaped double-quote \” and then the word hello followed by another escaped double-quote \”, finally followed by the word goodbye.
Both examples give the same result.
Some commonly used string methods, besides substring, include slice, substr, concat, toUpperCase, toLowerCase, and the pattern matching methods of match, search, and replace. I discuss each of these briefly.
alert(myString.substring(3)); //Returns "s is a string."
alert(myString.substring(3,9)); //Returns "s is a"
alert(myString.slice(3)); //Returns "s is a string."
alert(myString.slice(3,9)); //Returns "s is a"
A subtle difference between slice and substring is how they handle arguments with negative values. The substring method will convert any negative values to 0, while slice will treat negative arguments as the starting point from the end of the string (counting backwards from the end, essentially).
alert(myString.toUpperCase()); // "THIS IS A STRING"
alert(myString.toLowerCase()); // "this is a string"
The toLocale methods perform conversions in a locale-specific manner.
As I stated, numerous string properties and methods exist. The remainder of the book features other string properties and methods, and you can always find a complete list within the ECMA specification at http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-262.pdf.
A Boolean expression is used within the if statement’s condition to determine whether the code within the braces will be executed. If the content of the variable myNumber is greater than the integer 18, the Boolean expression evaluates to true; otherwise, the Boolean evaluates to false.
The variable myVariable is empty, but it is not null.
Undefined is a state, sometimes used like a value, to represent a variable that hasn’t yet contained a value. This state is different from null, although both null and undefined can evaluate the same way. You’ll learn how to distinguish between a null value and an undefined value in Chapter 5.
// Create properties for each of four stars.
Examples later in the book show how to add properties to these objects and how to access properties. There’s much more to objects, and Chapter 8 gives that additional detail.
You’ve seen in the previous example how to create an object with a name. You can also use array elements that are accessed by a numbered index value. These are the traditional arrays, familiar to programmers in many languages. You just saw several objects, each named for a star. The following code creates an array with four elements.
Calling the Array() constructor with a single numeric argument sets the length of the array rather than the value of the first element, which is what you might expect.
The new ECMA-262 edition 5 specification added several new methods for iterating and working with arrays. Arrays, including methods that iterate through them and work with them, are covered in more detail in Chapter 8. | 2019-04-26T14:26:58 | https://www.microsoftpressstore.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2201632&seqNum=2 |

Transitioning into new professional roles can be challenging, and some of us will desperately apply for job after job just to try and make the discomfort end. Instead of blindly applying for any position that comes along, be intentional about targeting your job search. You’ll thank yourself later.
College graduates who haven’t had internships or other professional experience in their field of study may learn that they don’t actually like the jobs related to their academic major. There’s a name for this: a quarter life crisis — the time of uneasiness and confusion after college.
Career crises can occur at any stage of your life. People in their 30s, 40s, and beyond have gone to the same types of jobs for years, but then they wake up one day and decide they want something else. But don’t worry; there are ways to avoid this career panic, whether you’re just starting out or changing your career later in life.
1. Be clear about your goals.
Sometimes we apply for jobs that we think we want out of desperation — a need to be validated, seen, heard, etc. Even if you’re not aware that your motivations stem from desperation, those on the receiving end can often sense it. Before you apply for anything, make sure you know what’s motivating you.
2. Picture yourself in specific roles.
Target specific roles and positions rather than working off of vague ideas. Imagine yourself getting the job that you want. What do your days look like? How do you feel arriving to your office? If it feels good to imagine it, then it’s probably something worth applying for; however, if you feel like something’s not quite right when you’re trying it on, keep asking questions.
3. Take on the kind of work that fits for you.
Flashy jobs still require tedious work, and if you’re not up for the blood and sweat that the job may require, you may end up hating it altogether. Finding the right work — the work that nourishes you and that you enjoy even when it’s mundane — will help to keep you on the path to success. That also means avoiding and turning down opportunities that aren’t the right fit. This is easier said than done!
4. Visualize the perspective of the hiring manager.
Liz Ryan, who you may know from Human Workplace, emphasizes the importance of seeing the world from the hiring manager’s point of view and shaping your application in a way that focuses on alleviating their pain. Speak their language, imagine what their days might be like, and work to showcase what the value is that you would bring to the role.
In the book “They Don’t Teach Corporate in College: A Twenty-Something’s Guide to the Business World,” Alexandra Levit offers a useful tool for young professionals to find their ideal job. She suggests a “self-assessment journey” to determine the career that would make you happiest and allow you to be your best.
What would you be compelled to do even if you never got paid for it?
How do you prefer to work? How are you most effective?
What is your definition of success? What drives you?
Your answers to these questions will help you make the informed decisions in your job search. Assessing what you want from your career keeps you from wasting both your own time and your employer’s by helping you make a smart career choice from day one. The average person may have up to seven careers in a lifetime. Conducting regular self-assessments will help you navigate these changes.
Once you’ve gained insight into your motivations, thoroughly imagined yourself in the job to see how it feels, and have a solid sense of what impact you would make in the role, you know that you’re ready to apply. Trust that once you’ve applied, the forces at work in your life will take care of the rest. If you don’t get the job you applied for, it’s because there’s a better fit waiting for you.

Erie Neighborhood House successfully raised $540,000 to support mental health programming at the 2019 Future of Promise Awards Dinner on March 14.
Hosted at Chicago’s Radisson Blu Aqua, the event was chaired by HBK Engineering chief executive officer Ronald G. Kaminski and benefitted the agency’s Proyecto Cuídate program and its efforts to build greater well-being for individuals, families and the communities in which they live.
The evening’s program helped make the case for increased investment in these resources that are all too often in short supply in Little Village, a densely populated Mexican-American neighborhood on Chicago’s Southwest Side, and touted the impact Proyecto Cuídate is making there.
During the event Erie House debuted a short film produced by Fig Media, Inc., that gave the audience an up-close look at the program and introduced them to Pastora Ramirez and Felix Garcia. The mother and son became the first-ever recipients of the inaugural Future of Promise Award, sponsored this year by The Custom Companies, Inc.
The 2019 Future of Promise film highlighted the Proyecto Cuídate program at Erie House and the strength and resilience exhibited by honorees Felix Garcia and his mother, Pastora Ramirez. FILM BY MELISSA FOX/FIG MEDIA, INC.
Felix is a member of the youth mentoring initiative at Erie House and Pastora has participated in parenting workshops, and in their remarks they spoke highly of their experiences in the Proyecto Cuídate program.
In addition to the Future of Promise Award, Erie House presented awards to inQUEST Consulting (Diversity & Inclusion Award, accepted by CEO Scott Hoesman); VistaNational Insurance Group, Inc. (Corporate Impact Award, accepted by managing director Brian Walsh and director of operations Kahlil Hogan); and John Burns Construction Company (Community Investment Award, accepted by CEO William O’Malley).
All three companies served as Influence-level sponsors for the event alongside PNC Illinois and The Custom Companies, Inc.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker gave remarks at the top of the program, highlighting the important role community-based organizations play in the well-being of the state.
Joining Pritzker at the event from the public sector were Deputy Governors Sol Flores and Jesse Ruiz, State Representative Delia Ramirez, City Clerk Anna Valencia, and Alderman Elect Mike Rodriguez (22nd Ward).
A large portion of the event’s total revenue came through event sponsorships and individual ticket sales, but Erie House raised more than $100,000 night-of during a live auction paddle raise as well as a silent auction.
Next year Erie Neighborhood House will mark 150 years as an organization, and plans are already underway to celebrate that achievement. The Future of Promise Awards Dinner will be co-chaired by Joseph Dominguez, CEO at ComEd, and PNC Illinois president Scott Swanson.

My son likes to read. It is always hard to supply him with books. He is particular. “Big Nate” and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” are his crutches to fall back on. I’m always looking for good suggestions for books. Series are even better, if he likes it there are more of the same.
We recently found “The Secret Zoo” by Bryan Chick. It is about the fun adventure of four kids finding a secret zoo. He is hooked. And there are 5 in the series. | 2019-04-25T12:24:44 | http://twoclevermoms.com/the-secret-zoo/ |
Debut novelist Helen Hemphill grew up in (Bridgeport, then Wichita Falls) Texas and now lives with her family in Nashville and Austin. She is a graduate of the Vermont College M.F.A. program in Writing for Children and Young Adults. Her first book is Long Gone Daddy (Front Street, 2006). Read Helen’s blog.
Two unrelated things steered me into writing for young readers. Early on, I toyed with writing adult short fiction, but I found a lot of stories being published were pretty grim in terms of subject and tone. It was depressing.
I read a lot of Tony Earley and Pam Houston because I found humor and hope present in their work, even when the subject matter was difficult, and I tried to model that tone in my own writing.
At the same time, I was teaching sixth grade. Every day, kids would come in with funny, quirky perspectives that really grabbed me. There was just so much sheer optimism in them, even when the realities of their lives weren’t always so sunny.
Somewhere in there, I started writing short fiction for a younger audience and sort of found my groove. I write about difficult situations and relationships, but I also try to leave readers with something positive. There is hope for all of us.
I was doing a Harcourt post-graduate semester at Vermont College, working on two separate manuscripts. One had been my creative thesis for my MFA and was a somewhat finished manuscript and the other was a new novel–very green.
Just as a kind of networking opportunity, I attended the One-on-One Conference put on by Rutgers University Council on Children’s Literature and met an agent who offered to take a look at my work. At the same time, a dear friend offered an introduction to another agent, and both were interested. The situation was a catalyst for my getting Stephen Roxburgh‘s attention. Front Street had rejected an earlier manuscript of mine, so it was all a little bit serendipitous. I sold my second novel, which became Long Gone Daddy, to Front Street right after the semester ended and did extensive revisions on the text—cutting 100 pages, reworking the chronology, revamping characters.
In the course of the semester, I ended up ditching the finished manuscript of my first novel for a total rewrite. Harcourt had a first right of refusal on that book. Jeannette Larson at Harcourt was very supportive and gracious to me, but ultimately passed on the story. Some weeks later, Stephen bought it with the awareness that the book needed more work–I think our revisions on Long Gone Daddy convinced him I could do what he wanted. That book, called Runaround, will be out with Front Street next year.
Rita Mae Brown says “Don’t hope more than you’re willing to work.” I have that quote on my screensaver.
Congratulations on the release of your debut novel, Long Gone Daddy (Front Street, 2006)! Could you tell us a bit about the story?
Long Gone Daddy is a road trip with dark comedy around every turn.
Grandfather’s will stipulates he must be buried in Las Vegas to get a chunk of money and a Cadillac, so 14-year-old Harlan Q is ready to make the trip from north Texas to Las Vegas in order to get away from Paps, his bible-thumping father. Paps and Harlan Q transport the ripening body of the grandfather in their station wagon, and along the way, pick up Warrior, a Zen-minded actor-in-training. The heart of the book is the relationship between the father and the son, and Warrior is both the foil to the father’s rigid beliefs and the confident who helps Harlan Q understand his father.
Actually, the novel is based on a true story. Late one night, some friends sat around swapping stories about adolescence, and someone began telling a wild tale about living in a funeral home the night his grandfather died.
His dad and uncle drove the body from Florida up the east coast in the back of the family station wagon rather than pay for the funeral home’s services. It was hilarious. When he finished, I asked him if I could use the idea, and Long Gone Daddy is dedicated to him. The book took three years from start to finish, but many times during the first draft, I felt I was just the typist because the story was so clear in my mind.
Some of the logistics were very specific. Would a casket fit into the back of a Chervolet station wagon? Was it legal for Paps and Harlan Q to just drive a dead body across country? Obviously, I did research like any other writer of historical fiction, contacting a funeral home director and a parts manager at a Chevrolet dealership, both of whom were great in tracking down details.
I also used original source newspapers. I went to the Dallas Public Library and made copies of newspaper microfilm, all from the first two weeks of August, 1972. I did the same thing in Las Vegas. Newspaper research really helped with context, and gave me some fun ideas. Elvis was opening at the Hilton, and Watergate was very much in the headlines, although no one seemed to understand its implications. Both of those details are referenced in the book.
I also did quite a lot of reading on the psychology of adolescent boys since I was writing across gender. The plot came pretty quickly to me, but the emotional depth of the book was harder. I wanted to explore father and son relationships as authentically as I could, so I had to reopen some of my old wounds about my own family. That was difficult.
The flap copy notes that you drove from Dallas to Las Vegas to research the novel; what can you tell us about that?
It was a blast of a trip. A girlfriend and I drove a convertible on the same route that Harlan, Warrior and Paps drive in the book, plus a lot of side trips. It was June, but it was already hot—113 degrees in Tuba City, Arizona.
It was also beautiful. We drove a stretch of countryside from Tucumcari, New Mexico to Las Vegas that was one of the most beautiful places on earth. My girlfriend did lots of the driving, so I took pictures and notes and met lots of wonderful people.
You did such a powerful job with the varied father-son relationships in the novel. Did this focus evolve in the writing, or was it something that you wanted to explore going in? What about it called to you?
As I said, I did a lot of research on male adolescence, plus I have a son and stepson of my own. I used my own relationship with my father as a jumping off point for the story, but I would say most of the focus evolved as I began going deeper with the emotional aspects of the characters. I think we all have some unfinished business with our parents, and that helped me, but I wrote a lot of the story as Jane Resh Thomas says, “behind my back.” I didn’t know really where I was going at the time, I only knew I had to go there.
I’m fascinated with religion, faith, the quest for answers–all of which is touched upon in this book as Harlan Q tangles with Paps (a hard-driving preacher), Paps rails against the “sins” of his own father, and a stranger named Warren/Warrior appears on the scene with gentle questions. What does this novel say about these forces within us and our society? Or perhaps I should say, what does it ask?
I wrote the book more concerned about the issue of doubt than that of faith.
As human beings in a post modern world, I think we all struggle with doubt at one point or another in some form or another. How we struggle may be very different. Warrior gives in to doubt, without dismissing his own spirituality. Paps can’t leave room for doubt, yet his “sure” vision is often incorrect. Harlan Q is all over the road. We are all searching for the right answer, the meaning of life, the theory of everything, but it’s in the doubt that we move forward. There’s the irony: it’s the doubt that pushes us to discern what we really think. I would hope that the book would encourage readers to be a bit more skeptical and to be more tolerant of one another’s questioning.
Your publisher is Front Street, a small, high-quality literary trade publisher. For those less familiar with the house, could you tell us about it and your experiences as one of its authors?
Front Street had been in business about ten years under the guidance and ownership of Stephen Roxburgh when it merged with Boyds Mills Press about two years ago.
Now Front Street is the young adult imprint of Boyds Mills and is part of a bigger organization, but there is the same focus on quality and literary merit that has always been part of its reputation. When I signed my first contract, I went to Honesdale to do my own due diligence–I wanted to know the organization behind Stephen. I was impressed with the commitment to children’s literature from everyone at Boyds Mills, and I think the two companies have tremendous strengths that complement one another. As an author, I feel very fortunate to work with Stephen as my editor, but I also feel really lucky to have the whole team at both Front Street and Boyds Mills behind me.
You’re a graduate of the Vermont College M.F.A. program in Writing for Children and Young Adults. Could you describe your experience as a student? Looking back, what did you gain as a writer?
It was hard work. There was a component of the program that required extensive reading, research, and scholarly writing, in addition to the creative writing packets each month. I also came to the program wanting more depth in my knowledge of children’s literature so I worked hard on that as well, reading everything I could. Maybe I could have done less, but I was so ready to do it all. I didn’t get much sleep the week before a packet was due.
As a writer, I was transformed. I don’t even know if I can accurately describe the metamorphosis because it wasn’t overnight or immediate. I just started seeing things differently. I started reading like a writer. I paid attention in a different way. And I began to have confidence and courage that I could write–that was huge!
What would you tell other writers considering an M.F.A. program? What should they consider?
I would never hesitate to say go for it, but I would suggest that a writer consider his or her own goals carefully. Are you willing to spend the money and the time to learn to write as an end in itself? Learning the craft and networking with a writing community are really what make an M.F.A. program worth doing. Publishing is icing on the cake.
In raving about your writing this week, I said, “Think: Kimberly Willis Holt-meets-Joan Bauer.” That was the closest I could come without just handing over the book so your own unique talent could shine through (and I wasn’t done with it yet!). How would you describe your style?
First off, let me say that I’m thrilled with the comparisons. I don’t know that I can describe my style just yet. I can say I use humor as a way to express myself. I have deep feelings about the fragile nature of families in our complex world, and I enjoy a good story, with heroes and villains and surprises along the way. Does all that combine to make a style? Maybe…we’ll see.
As a reader, what are your favorite recent children’s and YA books? Your favorite authors?
Texas writer Kathi Appelt (author interview) because she does it all so well—from picture books to memoir to young adult fiction. I love Deb Wiles‘s Southern voice and humor, but then even her emails make me laugh. As for recent YA books, I’m reading Markus Zusak‘s The Book Thief (Knopf, 2006) (excerpt), like everyone else on the planet, and I enjoyed Ronald Kidd’s Monkey Town: The Summer of the Scopes Trial (Simon & Schuster, 2006)(excerpt) very much. No surprise ending, but Kidd does a seamless job of weaving history into the text. I also loved Jan Cheripko‘s Sun Moon Stars Rain (Front Street, 2005). The writing is spare with beautiful imagery.
I iron really well–it’s my mother’s fault. I also play golf, although not so well. I hang out with my husband and children, read, knit, and I like to cook and have people over to the house. I make a really nice pear tart.
I have a novel out next year with Front Street called Runaround. It takes place in Falls of Rough, Kentucky in 1964 and is a story of romance magazines and sister sibling rivalry. I’m also drafting a wild-west story and having too much fun with that.

I went to the Regenbogenball (rainbowball, a ball for the lgbtqia+ community) this weekend.
I haven't been there for over 5 years but then my friends and i got cards when Alexander Rybak was announced as a special guest. I really like his happy pop music, but he cancelled the concert shortly before the event. That was really disappointing. Instead of playing in Austria, he ignored their contract and did a concert in Russia instead. What? Why? Super disappointing.
The ball was held in beautiful hotel near schloss schönbrunn and had a lot of beautiful pictures on the wall and great chandeliers.
We watched the opening ceremony with an incredible talented ballerino, who is Austrian but works in the Us. Another great performance was from Schuh schuh, who danced to a short Eurovision song contest medley. They had silly yellow afros and their partners had white elvis wigs and looked quite ridiculous, but that was the point.
Afterwards we drank and danced too and Matthias managed to step on my foot only once. Yeeeeey.
At midnight there was a special guest, instead of Alexander rybak. Alison Jiear sang instead of him and her voice was super amazing, even though the microphone was a bit too quiet at first and one could not hear her over the music. But it got louder and after she sang "it's raining men" the whole hall was dancing and singing.
I hate beer but it was the cheapest drink with the most value. Nevertheless it was 4,50€ for 300ml. Meeeeh. But a white wine with sparkling water was 4,70 for 250 ml. Pfffhhh. Neverrrrr.
We also made the mistake and ate a bit because we were starving. It was 6,50 for two sausages, bread and mustard. Yikes.
My outfit was a jesus diamante dress and bag. The shoes were from dreamv.
I decided against a crown or flower in my hair because my updo was already huge!
Look at that! My hairdresser is great and mad!
It was very dark but not too dark for a selfie plus filters! Harhar!
All in all, it was a fun and expensive night.
Wow, all of the stuff you got there was really expensive! But of well that's the thing with balls in general.
By the way, I nominated you for the 'Liebster Blog Award' and I would be glad if you'd like to participate! | 2019-04-20T22:29:50 | http://www.auris-lothol.info/2015/02/regenbogenball.html |

And from the ashes of our self-despair, Kindles a flame of hope and humble trust.
As discouraging as pain can be—so discouraging you can feel your face on the cold, unyielding floor—God has His face on the floor next to you. It’s what Immanuel means: God with us. God with you.
Lord, I pray with David, “You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great.” (Psalm 18:35). How moving, how humbling, to know You stoop down to be near me in my need.
*Patricia St. John, “The Alchemist,” in An Ordinary Woman’s Extraordinary Faith: The Autobiography of Patricia St. John (Wheaton, Ill.; Shaw, 1993), 298.
Though God may seem distant in the midst of our suffering, such things do indeed matter to Him. Joni and Steve explore God’s heart, His future hope for us, and the work it accomplishes in our lives today. | 2019-04-23T05:58:33 | https://www.joniandfriends.org/he-stoops-down/ |
The Elite 10: Our Favorite Bicycle Races in America!
For kids, learning to ride a bike is one of those rites of passage. It's been that way since the invention in the early 1800s (although early models, with that giant front wheel, were way more challenging to navigate).
Since those early days, bicycles have evolved, from your basic two-wheeler to sophisticated 10-speeds, mountain bikes and more. Naturally, anything with two wheels inspires speed; thus, bike racing became an organized sport around 1868. By the 1896 Olympics, a 12-hour bike race was on the menu.
Today, there are nearly 67 million people who ride a bike. Some may just hop on to nab some groceries; others are serious racing competitors.
The Tour de France is perhaps the best-known bicycle race. It was first held in 1903, and is the oldest of three European "tours" (the others being held in Italy and Spain). This one winds through the Alps and Pyrenees, and ends when the first rider crosses the finish line at the Champs.
But if you can't make it to Europe, check out ten pretty cool races here in the U.S.
Whiteface Mountain is New York's 5th highest peak. So why not peddle uphill? For 11 miles? Well, at least the scenic Veteran's Memorial Highway will take your mind off your screaming calves and quadriceps. Once you reach the top, you'll get amazing views of the Adirondacks, New England and even Montreal.
This seven-day mountain bike stage race in central PA winds through state forests marked by challenging climbs and descents that require serious skill.Those who've done it say that riding for 3 or 4 hours on each day is enough to finish.
For those who want something extreme, this epic ride should fit the bill. It's a 200-mile endurance challenge over dirt and gravel roads, and is not for the weak-hearted. Or "-kneed."
The altitude of this mountain bike race is a major factor: from 9,200 to almost 13,000 feet. Only about 65% of the 1,500 entrants finish. Still, the challenge is such that riders who want in have to hope they win in the lottery system - it's sold out every year.
The 206-mile ride starts before dawn in Utah, and winds through parts of Idaho until ending in Wyoming. The challenging (yet scenic) ride takes you through three mountain passes and to elevations of 7,500 feet.
Thousands of cyclists gather each year for this one. It's open to all levels, from kids to pros. Adults can opt for routes ranging from 38 miles up to 107 miles, winding through the Sonoran Desert.
Cyclists compete against a 300-ton steam engine built in 1923. It's 53 grueling miles across the AZ landscape. The engine runs along the Grand Canyon Railway tracks, while the cyclists on the highway push to best its time to the finish.
OK, so maybe it's not as gritty and competitive as some other races, but it does serious good. The annual event raises money for cancer research. Plus, you get to ride through some amazing scenery around Lake Tahoe. Entrants can opt for a 35-, 72-, or 100-mile trek.
It's the final stage of the Tour de France-like "Amgen Tour of California." This ride covers 105 miles and runs through surf towns like Ventura. At the summit, riders take in the view from 3,300 feet. It's open to amateurs and pros alike.
Hundreds of cyclists race through the city streets, hoping to nab the homemade trophy (made from welded bike parts) that's passed down from year. The rules? There are pretty much none. This event has been described as 'Road Warrior on steroids." | 2019-04-20T08:36:29 | https://bestcycling.info/ |

Certainly one of the more clever solutions to student debt is the recent move by Occupy to buy out the debts of a number of people struggling to pay back student loans. Occupy managed to kill off almost $4 million in student debt by buying the debts from loan collectors for pennies on the dollar and forgiving them. It recently bought $3.8 million in student debts for just $100,000 and forgave it all.
Only 7 per cent of households with young adults in debt owe $50,000. or more on education loans. 56 per cent of these households have less than $10,000 in school debt.
In households with people aged 20 to 40 who have education debt, the median debt is just $8,500.
The share of income that an average American with education debt must put toward loan payments is actually lower today than it was 20 years ago.
At private schools, the overall cost of college is going up more for well-off students than for less advantaged ones who often receive scholarships and discounts.
Finally, because the incomes of college graduates are continuing to rise, the return investment on a college degree has continued to improve for most graduates.
In terms of ability to pay back student loans, the biggest problem is actually with those who borrow for school but don’t complete a degree. They may have smaller debts, but they’re unable to find any employment to generate the income to pay them back with. Unfortunately, there are quite a few colleges out there that graduate less than half of the students who enroll in their programs. | 2019-04-26T14:45:42 | https://www.successdegrees.com/studentdebtcrisisoverblown.html |
On the last track we discussed time management techniques. In my practice, I implement six interventions that can help foster productive time management. These six interventions are the daily to-do list, direct delegation, familial delegation, Avoiding the Supercaregiver Trap, research services and scheduling phone time.
On this track we will discuss compartmentalizing cancer thoughts. Because obsessive thinking rarely solves any problems and it drains clients, this track offers strategies for avoiding obsessive thinking through compartmentalization.
Robert, age 34, refers to himself as "a habitual obsessor." Robert stated, "I can’t sleep at night because I toss and turn, going over and over my wife’s cancer in my head! I ask myself, ‘How can I get more information? Who can I call? Why did the doctor say that!? Why is my wife acting this way? What is she not telling me?" Robert was also distracted by the cancer during the daytime. If he was out with others, he’d steer the conversation to the disease, and he wouldn’t listen when friends discussed other subjects. Robert stated, "My mind is always wandering, always returning to my wife’s illness."
In order to help Robert begin functioning again, I felt that it would be productive for him to stop obsessing. I stated, "Set aside specific times each to reflect on the disease, its problems, its challenges, and its meaning to you. You can do this by writing about it, by talking to friends, and/or by meditating. Structuring this time will keep you from obsessing about the disease. If you find yourself obsessing tell yourself, ‘No it is only 1:00 and my Cancer Thought time is at 4:30 on my drive home from work. I can wait a couple more hours to think about this.’"
By setting aside time each day to focus on the disease, to give it his full, undivided attention, Robert learned how to compartmentalize his cancer thoughts. At a later session, Robert stated, "Every time I obsessed about the disease, I stopped and told myself to save those thoughts for the time I had scheduled for reflection. I chose the drives to and from work. I visualize putting those thoughts in a box, knowing I could open it later."
I responded, "It’s not always possible to set aside your emotions, but does this technique reduce the amount of time you spend worrying?" Robert answered, "Yes. When the drive times come, I give my full attention to the cancer and my thoughts and feelings about it. Sometimes I call a friend and talk, releasing the emotions that way. Sometimes I write in my journal, and sometimes I just take a long walk and reflect on our situation."
Initially clients like Robert may be hesitant to join a support group. Might your client think he or she will become even more obsessed with the cancer than they already are? As Robert stated, "Why should I go somewhere to talk about my problems for ninety minutes every week? That seems awfully negative." Yet before learning to compartmentalize his cancer thoughts, Robert was spending at least seventy percent of every day thinking about his problems.
After a few months attending a support group, Robert stated, "I went from focusing on the cancer seventy percent of the day to probably twenty percent. When I obsessed over it, I didn’t resolve anything, and I wasted precious time. Now I talk about my issues once a week in a constructive manner during group. I’m able to look at the cancer and the changes in my life and evaluate them in a way that helps me feel more in control of my life."
On this track we discussed compartmentalizing cancer thoughts. Because obsessive thinking rarely solves any problems and it drains clients, this track offers strategies for avoiding obsessive thinking through compartmentalization.
On the next track we will discuss supporting the children. This track includes four guidelines for helping your clients as parents dealing with children who are trying to cope with cancer in the family or of a friend or loved one. The four guidelines for supporting children are preparing to tell the children, talking to children about cancer, evaluating reactions, and discussing cancer with multiple children.

The right drug for the wrong disease?
Twitter’s limit of 140 characters per tweet makes it difficult to share what’s for dinner, let alone the risks associated with a prescription drug. Current guidelines set by the Food and Drug Administration specify that drug advertisements must be accompanied by adverse effect warnings. However, the extreme space constraints on social media sites mean pharmaceutical companies have to avoid advertising altogether—or do it illegally.
Before April 2, 2009, the FDA was silent about the laws that drug companies were breaking on the web. But during that one day, it issued fourteen warning letters—more than it usually issues in three months. The offenders were all online drug ads, specifically sponsored links, which offer a short blurb about the product with a link to the product’s website. The FDA requested that the companies take their ads down immediately because they did not list medical risks or, in some cases, suggested unapproved uses. Requests from the FDA aren’t friendly: companies that ignore the agency risk being dragged into court, fined or even prosecuted.
The current FDA guidelines treat broadcast, print, and online media identically, but that may soon change. Shelly Burgess, an FDA spokeswoman, says that the agency plans to publish guidelines about Internet and social media promotion of regulated medical products before the end of 2010.
For now, many drug companies abide by what has come to be known as the “one click rule” to address safety concerns. These “one-click” ads contain a link to the insert label, where the adverse effects are listed. The consumer can get the information easily, if he or she clicks it. But the one click rule is not a rule at all. Instead, it’s a voluntary attempt by pharmaceutical companies to reconcile social media with drug ads. The FDA has issued warning letters even to companies that follow the rule.
However, Jim Lefevere, a commercial marketer in the health care industry, doubts that the highly anticipated guidelines will actually solve the current problem. “I think that there is some false hope in the industry and expectation that the FDA will provide clear-cut guidelines,” he says. The new guidelines will most likely only emphasize old FDA goals: information in a drug ad must be balanced, and adverse effect warnings must be readily visible and available. Lefevere, who also blogs at The Digital Strategist, explains that because media technologies for advertising are always changing, the FDA doesn’t want to have to scramble to keep up with each innovation. Instead, he says, the agency will focus on how drug ads are presented, not where they’re presented.

Jessica had been hooked on heroin for two years when she found out she was 41/2 months pregnant.
Shortly afterward, while in prison, she decided to start taking methadone to treat her addiction. She had been told if she quit cold turkey, she had a higher chance of miscarrying.
But she was also told her baby would go through withdrawal once he or she was born because of the exposure to methadone, which — like heroin — is an opioid.
Jessica, 21, worried about this for months, knowing firsthand how awful withdrawal can be. Finally, on April 9, she gave birth to her son, Nicholas.
Jessica, who grew up in New Fairfield, was terrified what would happen to Nicholas. Babies withdrawing from opioids can have seizures, fevers, breathing difficulties, diarrhea, excessive sweating and high-pitched crying, among other symptoms.
Would Nicholas suffer as the opioids left his tiny body?
As the opioid epidemic surges in Connecticut, so has the number of babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome, a set of problems experienced by newborns exposed to opiate drugs in the womb.
The number is small, but has more than doubled in a decade, from 0.27 percent of all births in 2002 to 0.73 percent in 2011, according to a report by the state Department of Public Health.
Nationwide, nearly 22,000 babies were born with the syndrome in 2012, a five-fold increase since 2000, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Doctors and nurses statewide commonly use a version of the Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring System, a tool developed in the 1970s, to determine whether a drug-exposed baby needs treatment. The tool employs a list of questions about symptoms and a range of scores, which doctors tally to make a conclusion.
If the babies score high enough, medicines like morphine are commonly used to manage their withdrawal symptoms. Morphine depresses the symptoms but prolongs the time the baby needs to stay in the hospital after birth.
A new approach is being taken at Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital, which has campuses in New Haven and Bridgeport, allowing babies with neonatal abstinence syndrome to spend less time in the hospital and receive less medication.
The main idea is to bring parents into the treatment process.
“They are not included in the care; they are the care,” said Dr. Matthew Grossman, who worked with a team at the hospital to reform the way they cared for babies with the syndrome.
The infants and their parents stay in their own rooms in the general ward, which is important because these babies need a low-stimulation environment. Parents are encouraged to swaddle, rock and feed their babies more often.
“If the baby is in a quiet environment, being fed by the mother frequently, comforting the baby, holding the baby, it seems to make a big difference in terms of reducing the hospitalization for the baby,” said Dr. Robert Herzlinger, director of neonatology at the Bridgeport Hospital campus of Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital.
The hospital has decreased the average length of stay for babies with the syndrome from 28 days, as was typical from 2003 to 2007, to 7.4 days. Morphine use decreased from 98 to 24 percent, and the maximum dose administered was reduced by more than 50 percent, Grossman said.
For its innovative approach, the hospital was selected to receive the 2015 Pediatric Quality Award from the Children’s Hospital Association, which represents 220 hospitals nationwide.
Other area hospitals use a combination of parent bonding and medications to treat babies exposed to opioids, which include heroin and prescription painkillers like Vicodin and Percocet.
Dr. Kristen Hougland, director of the neonatal intensive care unit at Danbury Hospital, called the bonding a “crucial” aspect of the treatment.
“One of the main things that we can do in the NICU for any family is to ensure that they have good bonding with their babies, and that they feel both bonded and comfortable with the infant when they take them home,” Hougland said.
Babies born with the syndrome stay in the hospital’s NICU, which has individual rooms where parents can stay with them.
At Stamford Hospital, doctors use morphine and a drug called clonidine to treat babies with the syndrome.
Dr. Gerald Rakos, chairman of the hospital’s pediatrics department, said hospital staff decided to add the second medication about two years ago. Since then, Rakos said, it has helped cut hospital stays almost in half.
He, too, stressed the importance of involving parents. “There’s no question that we try to involve the parents as much as we can,” he said.
Years afterward, he added, these children do seem to have higher rates of learning disabilities and behavioral issues.
“There is some biological basis for it, but a lot has to do with resources and child-rearing,” he said.
What is important is the environment the babies go home to, Herzlinger added.
After 24 hours of labor, Jessica gave birth to Nicholas, who weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces, at Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital.
Five days later, sitting side by side on a bed, she and Nicholas’s father, Mike, changed their son’s diaper. They took turns holding their son, who has deep blue eyes and a full head of dark brown hair.
Nicholas slept most of the time, letting out a cry every now and then. Nicky, as they call him, had mild withdrawal symptoms and didn’t have to take morphine. Mike and Jessica said they were happy with the care they received at the hospital.
For the parents, their son symbolizes a new chance at life — a chance to live their lives the way they had hoped before they became addicted to heroin.
Jessica and Mike took Percocet, a powerful prescription painkiller, before switching to less expensive heroin. They lived in abandoned buildings and the backseats of cars. They stole to pay for their drugs.
They both ended up in prison.
Jessica had been living in a treatment center in New Haven for the three months leading up to her birth. She and her son were discharged from the hospital on Thursday and will live at the center for another month while she finishes her rehabilitation.
Mike, 26, a certified machinist, hopes to find a job soon. He waits for Jessica and Nicholas to join him in Waterbury, where he lives with his parents.

This is my story about cinnamon rolls.
The first time I make a cinnamon rolls was about a month ago and it did quite well, the taste was delicious and moist.
I hate when I failed when making the dough and it happend to me 3 times when in making cinnamon rolls these 2 days. I have to wash the dishes 3x, clean the table 3x, and its so testing my patience.
When I am about to give up, I decided to read the recipe and I found out that I have to give it a try once more. Praise the Lord that the dough is good, even the look is not quite good (lol).
The last but the most important thing that I forget to do is capture the picture of the baked cinnamon rolls because after it finished baked, we ate 3 pcs of it without remember that I have to take the picture first.
I hope in the next batch of cinnamon rolls, it tastier than before. | 2019-04-25T07:54:47 | http://www.paperflavour.com/2018/06/foodie-friday-cinnamon-rolls-and-i.html |

Ivan's blog: You’re Entitled To What? Take Some Personal Responsibility!
You’re Entitled To What? Take Some Personal Responsibility!
The turmoil and tumult of the past couple of weeks have led me to the deeper realisation that in the majority of cases immigration has much to offer this country and indeed has brought great benefits over many years. We are beginning to understand slowly that we need willing hands to assist in so many areas of the economy and pre-Brexit concerns are apparently slowing the flow of people wanting to come here to work.
I heard an economist saying recently that in order to continue to maintain the growth in GDP we will need at least 160,00 more people to be employed and most of that will have to come from immigration. Significantly there seems to be the start of a slowdown.
It brought to mind the experiences of my grandfather who, in the 1870s, was sent by his parents to England from Poland, at the age of 15, to escape the prevailing persecution.
Unescorted and unable to speak English, he travelled by horse and cart, train and eventually a ship, with a label attached to his coat bearing an address in Manchester where some relations lived having come to England a few years before.
Miraculously he arrived safely, survived and made a new life in this country which he adored. When I knew him he was a voracious reader, had taught himself English as well as Hebrew, Latin and Greek and was making a somewhat tenuous living as a tailor.
In all his 80-odd years he paid his taxes, never asked the state for anything and, indeed, never expected anything. He was an intensely fulfilled individual who had survived through his own efforts and had made a happy life in this country having married and raised a family of five children.
A recent broadcast by a “community” leader complained that the state was not helping them and that they needed more assistance. My grandfather would have been totally bemused by this; what can the state do to help people if they don’t make an effort to help themselves first? Unquestionably there will always be a proportion of the population that through disability or sickness need assistance and it is right that the state is always there as a helping backstop.
If we consider the situation in business, much the same criteria apply. To employ people who spend their time whingeing and moaning, constantly complaining and in “something needs to be done about it” mode, is depressing and corrosive for other members of the team.
We need to give our people the freedom to express themselves, to encourage initiative and decision making and to ensure that if anything goes awry, then it is looked upon as a learning challenge not a case for reprimand.
We need to get away from the “it’s my right” syndrome and encourage the “it’s my responsibility” attitude.
That way we can start to make headway into a new positive post- Brexit start for the country and for business in general. | 2019-04-22T14:38:20 | http://www.ivanjgoldberg.com/2017/07/youre-entitled-to-what-take-some.html |

This will comprise of each League winner plus the 9 best second Placed Team based on their Points Per Game totals.
As we can see we have some improvements to be made if we are to see two sides make the step up as we once again see how strong the SCEFL is throughout compared to other Leagues across the country.
No more than 38 Clubs will be promoted from Step 7. Where the eligible Clubs count does not reach 38 in number, reprieves of Step 6 Clubs shall come into effect on a points per game basis. For example, if 34 teams come up from Step 7 instead of the maximum of 38, then the 4 clubs with the best PPG averages will be reprieved.
Below is a spreadsheet showing current PPG totals for Step 6 sides across the country.
Here is a summary of the current Promotion and Relegation picture involving the teams in our Premier and First Divisions.
Quite simply, only the title winners get promoted and with less than two weeks to go there are 4 teams in the hunt for this prize. Corinthian are in the driving seat but there are sure to be lots of twists and turns to come before the Season ends on the 27th April.
Two sides will get relegated from the Premier Division this Season. One will be Croydon, but who will be joining them on their journey to Step 6?
The Title winners will be promoted to Step 5 alongside the second placed team as long as their Points Per Game average is in the top 9 of the 19 second placed finishers in the Step 6 Leagues across the country. Teams folding higher up in the pyramid will see this number increase so the FA will confirm the successful sides after the season has ended. Our own updated spreadsheet trying to explain it all further can be viewed here which currently shows that there could be an issue for us with our League being so competitive and tight.
Bridon Ropes have just taken over at the top after Welling Town had led all season. Will it remain that way or will there be more twists and turns to come?
The bottom two teams will be up for relegation from the First Division. Teams could potentially survive if there are not enough sides coming up from Step 7 to take their place. Once again Points Per Game decides this and the current spreadsheet can be found here. Whatever happens, the aim has to be to not finish 17th or 18th.
The relegation battle currently appears to be between three teams.
The situation has been made more complicated by the withdrawal of Phoenix Sports Reserves for next season but that may not mean a reprieve for any team in the bottom two so finish 16th or higher if you want to stay safe!
I will keep this article here and update it as games get played so we are all informed of the complicated Promotion and Relegation scene across the SCEFL!
With thanks to Alan Heath for the updated spreadsheets! | 2019-04-19T02:47:47 | http://www.scefl.com/tables/ppg-step-6 |

This post might especially appeal to my male readers (if there are still any of you left out there, what with all the crap I write about things like menopause).
Over the summer the Little Guy was in Saint Tropez for a few weeks, and during that time he became very interested in all the flashy sports cars he saw there. San-Trop (as we call it) is of course the playground for many wealthy people, and there are huge yachts moored in the harbor and expensive cars parked all around town. Think Lamborghini and Ferrari, among others. So, who could blame a young boy for taking interest? Georges bought him a thick magazine containing a complete catalog of all the world's cars in 2012, and he spent a lot of our time in Saint Raphael noticing and identifying the various makes and models he saw; however, not (m)any six-figure Italian sports cars there.
When we came back to Paris, he and I had a free afternoon to kill, so I took him to the Champs Elysées where there are five or six upscale car "showrooms" - but not the type of showroom where someone will sell you a car, more a show-OFF-room for their latest models and concept cars, plus boutiques where one can buy souvenirs for each brand. The Little Guy had never seen any of these stores and I had a feeling it would be a big hit.
Between the new cars and the old classics, we really enjoyed ourselves (that Citroen store was incredible with the vertical space for 6-7 floors to show their cars, and I loved the old cars especially).
There were also racing cars that had won races for their brands (Renault and I think Citroen had those, maybe Peugot too, but after awhile I started to lose track of which cars were in which storefronts), but my photos of those all include the Little Guy so I won't be posting them here. He also got to sit in a few of the cars, which put a big smile on his face.
For souvenirs, he chose to start a collection of key chains along with a special strap that can go around the neck to keep your keys handy. He'll be getting a set of our housekeys shortly, since he starts middle school and eventually (although not at first) might be coming home after school when I'm not able to be here to let him in. It's another step toward his growing up and becoming more independent and it's clear he's looking forward to the changes in his life that are coming this year. New interest in cars and tennis lessons (instead of Pokemon and Spiderman) is just one sign that the times, they ARE a-changin'.
I will have to think of a new blog name for him soon; the Little Guy isn't so little any more. He turns 11 next week. Time is passing at the speed of a Ferrari. | 2019-04-20T22:37:15 | https://theboldsoul.lisataylorhuff.com/the_bold_soul/2012/08/vroom.html |
