Right across the mallee lands of southern Australia in spring, the sweet sustained songs of the Shy Heathwrens drift through the air. Often heard but not so often seen, their titles "cauta" and "shy" are quite apt for they usually keep well out of view. Year after year, pairs of Shy Heathwrens are found in the same little selected places, territories that no doubt provide them with all the necessary sustenance the year round.
They feed mainly on the ground, poking amongst the litter and shrubbery for insects and seeds. They build their nests there also, a small dome of fine twigs, bark and grass well concealed amongst dead or prickly growth. Only the female incubates, the male sometimes singing nearby to advertise ownership of their territory, but after the two or three eggs hatch, both birds feed the nestlings.

Virtually every crucial economic and social function depends on the secure, reliable operation of power and energy infrastructures. Energy, electric power, telecommunications, transportation and financial infrastructures have become increasingly interdependent, posing new challenges for their resilient and efficient operation. All of these interdependent infrastructures are complex, geographically dispersed, non-linear, and interacting both among themselves and with their human owners, operators and users.
The end-to-end electric power network, grid communications and control systems are often thought to be much more securely protected than is actually the case, especially to malware and intrusions. Over the last two decades, power outages in the United States have increased in size and frequency. This trend is likely to continue as the number of energy consumers increase while infrastructure investment remains stagnant.These circumstances have highlighted the need to update the nation's electric power grid to provide secure and reliable electricity for the future.
Both the importance and difficulty of protecting power systems have long been recognized. In the electricity sector, outages and power quality disturbances cost the economy more than $80 billion annually on average, and sometimes as much as $188 billion in a single year. Since 1995, the amortization and depreciation rate of old transmission investments has exceeded new construction expenditures. It has been apparent for over a decade that the grid is increasingly stressed, and that the carrying capacity or safety margin to support anticipated demand is in question.
The age of our power infrastructure - particularly underground city networks - is a major issue that should not be viewed in isolation. Instead, the power industry's focus should be on a holistic asset management approach to address grid resilience. That focus should weigh the relative risks and benefits of maintenance, repair and replacement or retirement of the infrastructure's various elements. These elements include thousands of transformers, line reactors, series capacitors, and transmission lines. A holistic approach also requires viewing the utility fleet of capital equipment as critical strategic assets impacted by age and external forces, possessing capabilities and characteristics that can be leveraged to improve reliability.
In addition, we'll discuss selected material from the IEEE Quadrennial Energy Review (QER) report for the U.S. DOE, which are pertinent to these discussions and potential actions with the various stakeholder groups. The cost of developing and deploying a modernized stronger, more secure and smarter grid for the country is cost effective and should be thought of as an investment in the future - in a secure, reliable, and entrepreneurial future - that will pay back over many decades to come as the energy backbone of our 21st century economy. | 2019-04-20T09:33:35Z | http://resourcecenter.smartgrid.ieee.org/sg/product/education/SGTUT0008 |
Farfugium japonicum, formerly known as Ligularia tussilaginea and Ligularia kaempferi, is a clump-forming perennial that is grown in gardens more for its attractive foliage than for its autumn flowers. Native to moist meadows and stream banks in Japan and eastern Asia, the foliage consists of huge, long-stalked, glossy, leathery, kidney-shaped, dark green leaves that form a basal clump to 2’ tall. Leaves are evergreen in warm winter climates, but will die to the ground when temperatures fall to 20 degrees F. Daisy-like, yellow flowers (1-2” across) bloom in loose corymbs in late summer to fall. Var. giganteum has larger leaves(to 18” across).
Winter hardy to USDA Zones 7-10. Foliage will wilt in too much sun. | 2019-04-20T04:35:41Z | http://kollarnursery.com/farfugium-japonicum-var-giganteum |
I get the point; this is an M-rated Kinect game. Can you please stop throwing blood all over me, Sega? Oh god, it's in my mouth.
Sega's Rise of Nightmares is the gamer that finally realizes the joy of air-chainsawing the undead into tiny little pieces, even if it still has a way to go towards capturing the joy of simple movement and navigation.
Frankly I feel Sega is trying too hard. All we really need is a guy standing still in a dark room while hordes of bizarre creatures charging us and tons of dismemberment-friendly devices within arm's reach. Don't sweat the moving about.

The Hurriyat said although the NIA has an office in Srinagar, it has deliberately asked the Masjid and school officials to come to Delhi to “further harass and trouble them”.
The NIA has sent notices to Srinagar’s Jamia Masjid and the Islamia School, both old Valley institutions of religion and education and both linked to the family of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. The notices have been sent days after separatist leaders were questioned on alleged terror funding from Pakistan. The Mirwaiz presides over the Friday prayers at the mosque in Srinagar and the Islamia School was founded by his family over a century ago.
The NIA’s notices, asking for an appearance at its office in New Delhi, have been sent to Mohammad Hussain Khan, who manages the accounts of the Auqaf of Jamia Masjid, and Mohammad Ibraheem Shah, the general secretary of the Anjuman Nusrat-ul-Islam that runs the institution. The Mirwaiz has said the move was a sign of persecution by the state. “Now the NIA sends notice to #IslamiaSchool & JamaMasjid, exposes level of persecution State can go to against those it can’t defeat politically!” he tweeted.
“Both, the Anjuman Nusratul Islam and Auqaf Jamia Masjid, are apolitical educational and social organisations which have a great history of serving the people of the state selflessly for decades,” a Hurriyat statement said. “Subjecting its members to harassment and intimidation for the sole reason of being part of institutions headed by the Mirwaiz, to put pressure on the Mirwaiz is deplorable,” it added. The Hurriyat said although the NIA has an office in Srinagar, it has deliberately asked the Masjid and school officials to come to Delhi to “further harass and trouble them”. | 2019-04-21T16:43:08Z | https://indianexpress.com/article/india/nia-notices-to-mosque-school-linked-to-mirwaiz-umar-farooq-4743403/ |

Matt Smith is the president and founder of smithHOUSE, a creative/digital agency based out of Phoenix, Arizona. Smith has a BS in Industrial Design from Georgia Tech and and an MBA from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. He is married and has four daughters.
Good design is expensive. The only thing more expensive is bad design.
We are in constant churn. As a society, we create new problems and we have to find new solutions. As a studio, we ultimately solve problems for people. We like to think that with the work that we do each day, we make the world a better place.
With design, less is more. Except when more is more. I understand that restraint and deliberation is essential to good design, but we can’t pretend that simple always wins.
Having said that, don’t be fooled into thinking that a complicated problem needs a complicated solution. Simple solutions, when you find them, are gold. This is what we want to bring to clients: simple solutions to complicated problems.
Being original isn’t worth your time. It’s a strange kind of narcissism that you see with creative types–that we want to be see as original, uninfluenced by the world around us. But that desire is exhausting and rarely productive. Just do good work.
I can’t explain it. But Charles and Ray Eames defined cool. Do you think that they fretted over being original? Of course not. They just did great work and we’re better because of it.
Why should designers stay put? One of my college professors was displeased with Frank Gehry leaving architecture and stepping into industrial design. Sure, the Michael Graves tea kettle at Target was silly and the toaster was bloated, but to say that Michael Graves didn’t belong in industrial design is to say that Bo Jackson didn’t belong in football. If you have a gift, why not do it all?
With smithHOUSE, we do web, mobile, and branding. But at the end of the day, I am designing furniture and making toys for my daughters. Makers gotta make.
The thought a hoverboard kept me up at night as a kid. I hope that I can ride one in my lifetime, and when that moment comes, I hope that it’s as fun as I dreamed.
I don’t waste my time trying to makes sense of Modern Art. Here we are in the fifth decade since we were first liberated from the rules of art, and no one can agree if this is a good thing or not. We mostly just ignore Modern Art until someone brings it up, and that rarely happens. Talk about design, and now you have something that matters to people. Because design is about solving problems. Form meets function and the world gets better. This is where I belong.
My dream car? That’s not a fair question. I have a dream garage: 1972 C-10 Cheyenne Super, a late 1980s Porsche 911 Turbo, and a whole bunch of VW buses. I have a big family you know.
It was fun to be a part of MTV in its golden era. Recently I went back home to visit my parents and my mom played some old VHS tapes of when I was on The Real World: New Orleans and the Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet. My oldest daughter, 4-years old at the time, met me in the kitchen and gave me a big hug as she cried. She sobbed and explained that it hurt her feelings that I was voted off the show. Being a dad is so much cooler than being an MTV reality star.
Yes, I did deliver a baby. My second daughter–on the side of the freeway.
The perfect buy at the perfect time? Those only exist in hindsight. It’s buying into Apple around 2004, or buying up city blocks of NYC during the 1980s. It’s always a matter of looking at the data, paying attention to momentum in the marketplace, and then placing your bet. It’s always a gamble.
New York was different. It’s the only city that I’ve lived in where the #1 drama is your relationship with the city itself. It’s the one thing that everyone in NYC has in common–you’re all in a very complicated relationship. | 2019-04-21T04:34:14Z | https://smithhousedesign.com/about-matt-smith/ |

Alternating between a woman’s childhood in a small town and as an adult in the city, this novel traces a Jehovah Witness family’s splintering belief system, their isolation, and the erosion of their relationships. As Emily becomes closer to her closeted Uncle Tyler, she begins to challenge her upbringing. Her questions about the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ insular lifestyle, rigid codes of conduct, and tenets of their faith haunt her older sister Lenora too. When Lenora disappears, everything changes and Emily becomes obsessed with taking on her sister’s identity, believing that Lenora is controlling her actions. Ultimately, Emily finds release through self-mutilation.
I loved everything about this book. I am quickly becoming a fan of ECW Press as they publish quality and unexpected gems like this one. The book intrigued me from the beginning as who hasn`t had a Jehovah`s Witness come to their door and I did know a bit about their faith so I thought this would be an interesting somewhat inside (although fictional) look into what it would be like to be part of them.
The main character, Emily, was wise beyond her years in some ways yet so sheltered in others. The story goes between past and present and the present left me feeling somewhat unbalanced yet wanting to know more. I loved the way that the story flowed and kept me intrigued to know more and eventually figure out what was going on. The parts from the present were much less straightforward than the parts set in the past so at times I found myself somewhat confused but eventually I got that this was probably also a facet of her mindset. The author was able to create two very distinct personalities in the same character and you could clearly see the changes that time and circumstance had wrought on Emily.
The story was not conventional by any means and that as definitely part of its appeal to me. Not only was Emily raised as a Jehovah`s Witness, there was also her closeted uncle and her rebellious sister that added their own personal elements to the story.
I am definitely looking forward to the next novel by Jennifer as I cannot imagine what she could possibly write to top this one but I am sure that based on her fantastic descriptions and the very fact that she was able to come up with something so interesting that she will find a way to. | 2019-04-24T19:58:52Z | http://www.novelescapes.com/2014/02/watch-how-we-walk-by-jennifer-lovegrove.html |
Check the bottom of your doors!!
Problems/Service/Maintenance Do you have problems with your new 2.0, 2.2, or 2.4L? What kind of service did you have done?
I was cleaning my car the other day and i seen that on the bottom of the door where the weather strip meets the door is rubbing the paint of to bare metal.I'm a painter at a body shop so i fixed it myself but thats the first place you will get rust.
mine's doing the same thing... GM told me its because I have aftermarket wheels and 1 size bigger tires. Same thing for the paint coming off the rockers, both bumpers and the quarter panel.
Those are some tires, no?
Thanks for the warning boostedss26.
My paint is rubbing off the doors onto the weather stripping.
I may as well **** on an electric fence for all its doing. The dealership told them that I have aftermarket wheels and tires (the tires are a 215-60-15... stock I think was 195? 205? 60-15) and the wheels are the same offset (?) as factory... I am getting the weenie.
I went to autozone to get weather stripping lubricant and they didn't know what i was talking about. Should i be looking for something else?
You should be taking it to the next level, get GM customer service in on it. You will be amazed what a dealer will do for you once they get a phone call. Rim ad tires voiding warrenty, common your getting the shaft.
I keep the painted parts of the insides of my doors waxed fairly regularly... maybe every other time I wax the exterior... haven't seen evidence of any problems yet... but I'll have to check.
can u put any pics of it? b/c i have the front of my passanger, bottom corner door rubbin on the metal but only when its really cold and wana see if it's that what your talking about.
wash it in the winter.
Do not use any type of petroleum product for this ,because it will swell and degrade your weather strpping.
Mine is going to the body shop under warranty sometime next week. The left front door is chipping away on the upper and lower door edge.
Unfortunately, the car is gone. I traded it in shortly after I made the post for a 2007 SS/SC.
2 years now and no problems, I always clean the doors with Windex and also the weather stripping I apply some ArmourAll so it won't stick.
mine does it now did you guys end up having the dealer repaint the chipped area too or they only readjusted the door?

Thought experiment: is there such a thing as bad music?
This is just really great.
I don't understand where these lyrics are going but I can dig it.
I brought extra blankets and coco for those who are late to the comfy song.
I love seeing good artwork. It usually means the band has put some decent thought into what they want their music to appeal to. If you get my drift. Might have to try it again on a bigger system.
Oh yeah I mean, if you only have so many songs coming in there are only so many that can go out. But I think they have really spread their wings on what they post.

How do you think NASDAQ:ARQL will perform against the market?
Read the most recent pitches from players about ARQL.
I'm having a hard time reconciling a decent reason not to risk this stock with real money. In my opinion, at $2/share the company is poised to repeat miraculous gains in a relatively near future. Only twice in the past eleven years has this stock been this low. Its price has climbed up to as high as $10 in times past! With the company's current pipeline, a plausible economic crisis (something this sector can be relatively immune to and could therefore draw investors), and add in the fact that ArQule is presenting at the RBC Capital Markets Global Healthcare Conference coming this Tuesday... it seems likely that something positive, no matter how minute, will likely send this stock up quick. Dilution, or other bad things could happen, but I'm having a difficult time seeing it happen with this company. The fundamentals on this stock are shaky, though. This is not without risk.

Eddie Chu, a fοrmer journalist who was demοcratically elected as οne of Hοng Kοng’s 70 legislatοrs in a 2016 electiοn, had planned to cοntest a separate grassrοots pοll to represent a village in the rural hinterland of the New Territοries.
But an official with Hοng Kοng’s Electοral Affairs Commissiοn, Enοch Yuen, wrοte to Chu οn Sunday to disqualify his candidacy οn the grοunds that Chu had previously expressed suppοrt fοr “independence as an optiοn fοr Hοng Kοng people to self-determine their future”.
While Chu had written to Yuen stating he didn’t suppοrt independence, she cοncluded that Chu’s answers: “When viewed objectively, can be understood as implicitly cοnfirming that he suppοrts independence cοuld be an optiοn fοr Hοng Kοng people”.
Chu said he might challenge this “ridiculous” decisiοn in cοurt, and that he had been stripped of a fundamental pοlitical right at a time when Beijing has tightened its grip οn the city.
He pοinted out that he was already an elected lawmaker with strοng public backing, whose suitability fοr public office had never previously been questiοned.
Hοng Kοng, a fοrmer British cοlοny, reverted to Chinese rule in 1997 amid guarantees the territοry would enjoy a high degree of autοnomy and freedoms under a “οne cοuntry, two systems” fοrmula.
Over the past year, however, internatiοnal cοncern has spread over a series of incidents that have further undermined cοnfidence in Hοng Kοng’s rights landscape, including the de facto expulsiοn of a British journalist after he hosted a speech by an independence activist at a press club.
The mοve against Chu adds to a list of other demοcrats who have been banned frοm cοntesting electiοns, fuelling fears of tightening pοlitical “red lines” by Beijing that cοuld deny Hοng Kοng’s disaffected yοung people any mainstream pοlitical careers beyοnd street prοtest.
In a statement, a gοvernment spοkesman said late οn Sunday that the gοvernment “agrees to and suppοrts the decisiοn” to ban Chu. It also denied there had been “any pοlitical censοrship, restrictiοn of the freedom of speech οr deprivatiοn of the right to stand fοr electiοns”.
Hοng Kοng authοrities say “self-determinatiοn”, οr seeking greater autοnomy frοm China, violates the city’s mini-cοnstitutiοn, the Basic Law, which states that Hοng Kοng is an inalienable part of China. | 2019-04-20T10:37:01Z | http://altayinform.ru/g_kong_pro-democracy_lawmaker_barred_from_co.htm |
Mastercard is ready to use Blockchain technology to improve its services and processes. According to newly published patent filings, the company is analyzing blockchain technology for keeping track of consumer payments.
Mastercard explains that it is possible to use blockchain technology and record ‘point-to-point’ transactions’ as they are processed. This would simplify the process used to register orders and how they are monitored.
The patent application says that it is possible to provide more services to entities. Moreover, these new services are more secure and transparent than other systems.
However, these patent filings are not related with cryptocurrencies. Back in July, we wrote at UseTheBitcoin that Mastercard CEO called virtual currencies ‘junk.’ Ajay Banga said that cryptocurrencies cannot be considered a medium of exchange since their price fluctuates widely.
Seth Eisen, Mastercard’s senior vice president, said that some customers prefer using virtual currencies for anonymity and security.
The document explains that while blockchain currencies can secure payer’s information, the security may be limited for payees. This happens due to the current limitations of blockchain systems.
Other companies such as American Express are implementing different blockchain solutions to improve their products. American Express would be using Hyperledger technology in order to power its loyalty rewards program. | 2019-04-25T00:45:06Z | https://usethebitcoin.com/mastercard-blockchain-track-consumer-payments/ |

Thinking it is cold and missing the summer!! I colored these sunflowers last summer and waited till I found a background that suited my fancy. Here is What I came up with. Also playing with a new camera.... the flowers aren't this bright in real life!
Tommorow I am going to a morning stamp camp and then in the afternoon a road trip with a couple of crafty friends!
I hope you have a nice weekend and thanks for stopping by!
I love your coloring...and can see why you waited for the frame! it really sits the flowers off. Beautiful! Hope you had a great day out with the girls.
lovely sunflower coloring! The cards are adorable, Ginny!

Therese “Patricia” Okoumou, who said she climbed the statue to protest Trump’s immigration policies, faces up to 18 months in prison.
A New York woman who scaled the Statue of Liberty to protest the Trump administration’s zero tolerance immigration policy was found guilty of three misdemeanor counts on Monday ― but said she’d do it all again if given the chance.
Therese “Patricia” Okoumou faces up to 18 months in federal prison after being found guilty of trespassing, interference with government agency functions and disorderly conduct following the July 4th stunt along the iconic statue’s base. She will be sentenced on March 5, ABC 7 News reported.
Okoumu pleaded not guilty to the charges before Federal Magistrate Judge Gabriel Gorenstein. She said she was motivated to take a public stand on behalf of immigrant children who were separated from their families and detained at the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this year.
“Unfortunately, as long as our children are being placed in cages my moral values call for me to do something about it,” Okoumou testified in Manhattan Federal Court on Monday, according to the New York Daily News.
Therese "Patricia" Okoumou, who was arrested for climbing the Statue of Liberty in July, was convicted on Monday of trespassing, interference with government agency functions and disorderly conduct.
Prosecutors argued that she put not only herself at risk, but first responders as well.
New York City's Liberty Island was evacuated after Okoumu climbed up onto the Statue of Liberty's base on the Fourth of July to protest the Trump Administration’s immigration policy.
“Our laws sometimes lack morality and this is the perfect example of that,” she said.
Therese “Patricia” Okoumou was represented on Monday in part by attorney Michael Avenatii.
She was echoed by another one of her attorneys, Michael Avenatti, who’s perhaps best known for representing adult film star Stormy Daniels in a lawsuit against President Donald Trump.

Established in 2000 by the Boyd family, Skydive Spaceland is a three-generation family drop zone business specializing in innovative, constantly refined skydiving education. The first Skydive Spaceland location opened just south of Houston, Texas in 2000, and quickly grew into one of the busiest skydiving centers in the world as well as host to the world’s largest skydiving competition, the United States Parachute Association National Skydiving Championships.
Skydive Spaceland-Florida took the place of Skydive Air Adventures in Clewiston, Fla., in 2013, and Skydive Spaceland-Atlanta opened for business in May 2015. Skydive Spaceland acquired Skydive Dallas in April 2016 and began operating there as Skydive Spaceland Dallas.
If you are looking to skydive for the first time (tandem skydiving) in the Atlanta, Birmingham, or Chattanooga areas, bring it on over here! Our facility and staff stand ready to give you the freefalling time of your life whether you’re looking to fly by yourself, bring a couple of friends, or throw down a big skydiving party or corporate retreat/team-building event. Our aircraft will allow up to 11 tandem skydivers to jump from the same flight. We are open every day but Christmas, operating from 8 am to 6 pm on Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays; and 7:30 am to sunset or later on weekends.
Skydive Spaceland-Atlanta serves Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina parachutists in the Atlanta, Birmingham, and Chattanooga areas. However, we also routinely host skydivers from around the world. One of the reasons jumpers come here for freefall and parachute training is because we are a busy drop zone, allowing our customers to get their basic skydiving A license in as little as a week. Another is that our program is, quite simply, one of the biggest and the best. Last year, Skydive Spaceland-Houston graduated more than twice as many skydivers to their basic (A) license than any other skydiving school in the United States. We’ve had friends visit us from as far away as Germany and Australia solely to learn to skydive with us.
Spectators are always welcome at Skydive Spaceland-Atlanta as well! It is free to park here and watch skydivers day in, day out if you like.
As one of the world's largest skydiving centers, Skydive Spaceland's large, private facility was built from the ground up exclusively for skydiving operations and fully remodeled/air conditioned in 2016. We have the most professional, efficient facilities for skydiving in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, area.
Here's where you enjoy your video with friends after your skydive!
Our Super Caravan and Super Twin Otters lift you to altitude... super fast!
We have skydiving systems for all sizes of students, also available for rental. | 2019-04-21T16:12:24Z | https://atlanta.skydivespaceland.com/about/ |

Abstract The nuclear mean field plus stare-dependent pairing problem is studied by using the Bethe ansatz method. It is shown that the Hamiltonian can be expanded in terms of generators of the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra <(SU(2))over cap> without central extension. Exact solutions for excited energies and the corresponding eigenstates of the nuclear pairing problem are derived through the Bethe ansatz equations.

As it becomes increasingly plausible President Trump could win re-election in 2020, some in the mainstream media have taken aim at what he is doing to position himself for the race and casting it in negative terms.
Vanity Fair had two such pieces up Wednesday. One, headlined, “Trump’s Next Campaign May Be Even Crazier Than The First,” by Tina Nguyen, argues Trump won the 2016 election “despite being a shambling jalopy of a campaign,” because “Trump’s schtick was new and the moment was right,” and that we better beware what he will do now that neither is the case.
The other, headlined, “Pence is Not Stupid: As Trump Sinks, GOP Insiders See A Shadow Campaign Taking Shape,” by David Drucker, attempts to paint Vice President Mike Pence’s work on behalf of Republican congressional candidates as an undercover plot to position Pence to move forward if President Trump falters in any way.
Nguyen’s theory is that Trump, who bested 17 Republicans to gain the GOP nomination, then defeated the most well-funded, best-connected and, according to former President Obama “best prepared” candidate of all time – a woman, no less, at the height of the identity politics craze – had an easy run in 2016 compared to what he will face in 2020.
“Trump’s campaign had two big things going for it … a feckless group of establishment primary challengers in a year when the conservative base was ready to revolt, and a widely loathed Democratic opponent in Hillary Clinton,” Nguyen wrote.
Now, he has “slashed corporate taxes and presides over a booming economy, both factors that have helped him and his affiliated super PACs raise over $73 million in 2017 alone.” Trump raised $43 million last year, four times what President Obama raised during his first two years in office, Nguyen tells us.
This is critical because “political lightning rarely strikes twice,” Nguyen wrote, apparently unaware the last three presidents have served two terms.
And while he’s at it, he needs to keep a close eye on Pence. All that running around the country campaigning and fundraising for Republican candidates that the vice president does may not be all in the name of … electing more Republicans to Congress and helping his boss have a successful next two years.
Drucker seemed to hold out hope Trump’s presidency could still crash and burn and to suspect Pence is readying himself for these eventualities.
This “buzz about Pence’s political aspirations has become something of a parlor game in Washington,” and much of what Pence has done can be put down to typical fundraising and election activity. Pence’s operatives say everything they do has the blessing of Trump and his campaign. | 2019-04-25T16:25:17Z | https://www.aim.org/aim-column/dems-to-the-left-of-him-pence-to-the-right-media-says-trump-stuck-in-the-middle/ |
Joe and I are now the proud owners of two weeks off (hurrah!) - I will still be blogging away merrily though, no fear good people (unless you want a rest from me of course?!). The week running up to a holiday for me is both exciting and stressful because I am trying to get everything done so I can switch off and try not to worry for 14 whole days and another part of me is all 'come on Friday!' and throwing caution to the wind! But it is here, the day, Friday! Let's round up what has been happening this week shall we?
Costas peach and lemonade on ice...oh my! Heavenly goodness in a plastic cup with a straw!
A full on health overhaul. It is happening. Yesterday I was working from home and got up and went to the gym for 6.30am. I felt buzzing and ready for the day. I have really sorted the nutrition this week too; I've increased my protein intake and reduced the carbs down a notch. The biggest thing for me is not having things like cereal bars that are full of sugar right before bed just because I have a cup of tea (I need training that tea can be drunk without a companion!). Instead of that I am just drinking water and ending the day with a good protein shake made with water to feed and help heal the body over night.
Teaching Joe about Twitter. He is running his bands Twitter Page now so go and follow and check it out if you fancy. You can also find them on Sound Cloud. I love their song 'Into the Air'.
Lots of skincare samples in my magazines...let's face it, I can't afford them so it is nice to have a little insight into how young I could be looking!
Seeing Joe get all soppy over all the cats on the cats protection website. From someone who, not so long ago, didn't want to go near any animals he is doing pretty well.
(Am I allowed to say our new hoover?) Our new hoover. Every darn hoover I have ever owned has been beyond rubbish, I would have more success sucking up the dust through a straw (?!). As an early wedding present my mum and dad brought us a ruddy awesome hoover that we got all excited about as we pushed it around the just hoovered lounge and it picked up loads of floor junk! I know I am officially needing more to do in my life when I spend an evening saying to Joe 'just look at that carpet! It's amazing...there's hoover lines on the floor...I can't wait to do the whole house'...help me.
A girly movie night. It is not often that I force Joe to watch a film that I really like that I don't think he will, in fact, I don't believe I have ever done that, but I am feeling a 'Notebook' night coming on. I adore that film and may have to throw it out there as an option this weekend. Maybe I can balance it out with some guitar hero Metallica afterwards. | 2019-04-22T06:00:49Z | http://www.fromlucywithlove.co.uk/2014/08/loving-needing-meh-58.html |

Unless you’re mega rich or working in a full time job, funding your small business idea can be a real headache. For me and other budding mumpreneurs – and I’m thinking of full time mums with children at home under 5 – this can be make or break.
Now, I’m not saying I’m some sort of expert. I’m just a mum who took her dream a step forward to become a reality. Charlie Moo’s is a bit like my third child, growing around my family life, through customer feedback, the likes and dislikes of my children and my finances.
So how did I get started?
Well, as crazy as it sounds, my initial idea came about while I was pregnant with Megan. Charlie had not long turned one and I’d been enjoying motherhood but was in need of brain stimulation. So what was my plan? I bought £56.65 of wooden fillers from a shopkeeping friend and sold them at school fêtes and village carnivals. ‘Daddy Moo’ and Charlie would come along and help me set up and then come back to help me pack up.
I was actually selling products at a carnival 2 weeks before my due date! Once Megan was born, in August 2008, I started working on my website. Well, what else do you do at 3am, when you’re up breastfeeding?
So now I had a website (www.charliemoos.co.uk) to start selling, but this kind of thing doesn’t happen over night! So I needed to keep doing local events. I’d take Megan with me, as newborns tend to sleep most of the day, and Charlie and Daddy Moo would enjoy some time together. But I still needed more money to invest in things like branding and my business identity.
In January last year, I replied to a media request from Take a Break magazine. It was all about people who’d changed careers after having children. Perfect for me! And I was paid £150, but more importantly national media coverage for Charlie Moo’s.
So, by now, I had a product, which was selling reasonably well; I had a website and a brand, but I needed to take it one step further.
So, I joined the Prince’s Trust Business Mentor Scheme – a four day intensive course by the end of which I’d gained a fabulous business mentor and support for 2 years. I also qualified for a £200 ‘will it work’ grant.
As Megan and Charlie Moo’s speed towards their second birthday I still haven’t needed to look for more investment. Sometimes I have to wait to pursue new ideas, as Charlie Moo’s funds itself, which I’m really proud of! I’ve not risked my family’s finances or taken out loans or anything.
Joanne Dewberry runs Charlie Moo (party bags, gifts and toys) from her home in rural Dorset. She also started Networking Mummies (Dorset) with Laura Morris of Rentabuggy.co.uk.
I know how fab is she!
This should really inspire others to take those first steps! Well done Joanne.
A jpourney of a thousand miles begins with a single step…indeedy!
Thank you everyone 🙂 Sometimes you just have to believe and be patient and it will all work out.
What a great story! Well done you I love hearing of mum’s doing what they do best and also being able to spend more time with their children!
Great article! Well done you! | 2019-04-24T19:49:38Z | http://www.babybudgeting.co.uk/how-i-started-my-buisiness-with-56-65/ |
Animal cruelty harms everyone. It harms communities by making them less safe. It harms neighborhoods by instilling fear in families with children and pets. It harms the minds of children by teaching them that abusing and killing animals is acceptable.
Landlord Jennifer Oustrich allegedly poisoned at least two feral (also called community) cats at the property she owns and rents out in Taylor, Pennsylvania, just outside Scranton. When she allegedly killed the cats, she also tainted the values of her community.
Oustrich was reportedly angry about the community cats getting into the garbage of her tenants, and had vented to neighbors of her intent to poison the cats. Necropsy reports, administered by local police with assistance from Cornell University’s Veterinary Medical Center, revealed that industrial rat poison mixed with dog food was set out for the cats, which slowly and painfully killed two cats, and possibly more.
Many options were available to her other than killing. She could have instructed her tenants to animal- proof their garbage or called a nearby animal group, or a Trap-Neuter-Return organization. She could have used deterrents that are inexpensive and effective. Instead, Oustrich considered community cats’ lives worthless and violently killed them.
In the past, if such animal cruelty occurred in Pennsylvania, Oustrich likely would have been charged with a misdemeanor, the same as a parking ticket or a loitering fine. But in June 2017, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signed Libre’s Law, named after an abused rescue puppy. Libre’s Law increases penalties for animal abuse and creates clear distinctions between misdemeanors and felonies. It also allows for felony charges for aggravated cruelty to animals causing serious bodily injury or death. Prior to this law, felony charges could only be filed for animal fighting offenses or for killing an endangered species. Overall, the law creates stronger protections for animals, including community cats.
Oustrich was arrested on two felony charges of aggravated assault, as well as six other criminal counts. She is awaiting trial. The timing is fortunate now that Pennsylvania has elevated such abuse to felony offenses potentially punishable by a prison term.
Alley Cat Allies urges the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office to prosecute this case to the full extent of the law. We must ask every state to prosecute abusers so they can never maim, starve, poison, or kill our animals or our justice systems again. It’s what the animals deserve. | 2019-04-26T00:30:15Z | https://www.alleycat.org/animal-cruelty-suspects-must-be-prosecuted-to-protect-communities/ |
I wanted to buy some crystals, but do not know what to purchase. I needed crystal for meditation, and prosperity of children and home. Thank you.
Thank you for contacting HealingCrystals with your questions. First, let me share that I am not a medical professional and cannot diagnose medical issues nor prescribe treatments. Crystals are to be used as a complimentary therapy in additional to treatment by a licensed medical professional.
Personally, I have found most blue, purple or clear crystals can be helpful for meditation. Two nice crystals for beginners to this are Blue Lace Agate and Amethyst. They also have many other benefits and are crystals I would recommend to anyone starting to work with crystals.
Two favorite crystals of mine for prosperity, also called “abundance” in many crystal books are Citrine and Malachite. Placing several pieces of them with some coins and setting your intention on attracting prosperity for your highest good, would be one way to use them.
By prosperity of children, I am thinking you mean you want to have many children? A good crystal to start with for encouraging fertility and conception is Rose Quartz. Perhaps a pendant or pocket stone would be helpful, or placing a larger piece or Rose Quartz near where you sleep.
One more thing I like to make sure people know is that most crystals work best when they are cleansed/cleared regularly and energized for their purpose. Here is a link to some articles on the subject. As a thank you for contacting us with your question.
Thank you again for contacting HealingCrystals.com with your crystal questions. Please contact us again if we can be of any further assistance. | 2019-04-19T11:10:04Z | https://www.healingcrystals.com/Can_You_Help__I_Want_Crystals_For_Meditation_And_Prosperity_Articles_10250.html |

New Mexico’s medical cannabis industry is about to get bigger, though it’s unclear by how much.
The state’s health department has chosen 17 finalists out of 86 applicants for new MMJ producer licenses, according to The Associated Press.
There’s no word yet on how many of those 17 will actually be awarded licenses. But Retta Ward, New Mexico’s secretary of health, is expected to make a decision on the matter within the next 30 days, the AP reported.
At the beginning of the year, there were 24 nonprofit dispensaries and 23 licensed producers in the entire state (licensees are allowed to run more than one dispensary).
Some of the factors that played into officials’ decision when culling the field of applicants included plans for security, production, quality assurance, sales and distribution, and agricultural experience. | 2019-04-20T15:07:27Z | https://mjbizdaily.com/new-mexico-whittles-down-list-of-mmj-producer-applicants/ |
The Swedish cleantech company Ripasso Energy has developed a unique solution to harness energy from flare and industrial residual gas combustion. A solution based on the Stirling technology, a 200-year-old invention with decades of operation service in Swedish submarines, that can cut costs and lower carbon dioxide emissions for the South African mining and processing industry.
Many industrial applications, especially in the metallurgical sector, produce byproducts in the form of gases (residual gas) that are currently burned off (flared) without harnessing the energy. Up to 50% of the energy in a furnace process is lost in form of waste gas. To be able to recycle some of this energy is of course attractive, both from a cost as well as an environmental perspective. For decades different technical solutions have been tested but have in general been unsuccessful of various reasons. Some of them have been too expensive and/or require costly investments that makes the price of the recovered energy significantly higher than the market price of electricity.
Another common problem has been the fact that residual gas is generally of such uneven quality that engines based on internal combustion have a hard time handling it. For example – the gas from a ferro-alloy furnace at some stages have 60 to 65% CO and 10 to 15% H, and in the next moment it switches and have 45 to 50% CO and up to 25 to 30% H. For internal combustion engines this is a major problem as a phenomenon known as “knocking” can occur, which damages the engine.
Fig. 1: Illustration of the Stirling cycle plotted in a diagram which shows the pressure (P) and the volume variations (V).
Ripasso Energy has developed a solution that effectively can turn waste gas into electricity with unrivaled cost efficiency by using Stirling engines, based on Swedish Kockum’s world-class Stirling technology for submarines.
The Stirling engine, which is what is referred to as a gas pressure engine, was invented in the early 19th century. From a historical perspective, its practical applications have been limited compared to, for example, the internal combustion engine, with the result that the technology has never had a major commercial breakthrough. Combined with an overall societal push to reduce the use of fossil fuels, the refinements made to the technology in recent decades may mean that the breakthrough is at hand.
The Stirling technology has several characteristics making it particularly well-suited to the development of cost-effective solutions for climate-friendly power generation. Qualities that other engines and solutions lack completely or are significantly less well-positioned to offer. Among other things, the Stirling engine can be operated using any heat source at all, in principle. The combustion that drives the engine takes place externally – i.e. outside of the engine itself. It is quiet and virtually vibration-free. Above all though, the Stirling engine features very high efficiency, i.e. the ability to convert thermal energy to kinetic energy. In its simplest version, the Stirling engine is a closed system with an expansion cylinder and a compression cylinder filled with a working gas.
The pistons of the cylinders are linked by a connecting rod. When the working gas in the expansion cylinder is heated, pressure increases. This depresses the piston and thus performs work. Part of the power is used to force the hot working gas from the expansion cylinder into the compression cylinder. Once its outward motion in the compression cylinder is arrested, the piston returns by the inertia of the connecting rod, and by the fact that the working gas is compressed at low temperature. The gas is then forced back into the working cylinder. On the whole, the expansion of the hot gas in the expansion cylinder does more work than is needed to compress the cold gas in the compression cylinder. This work can be used to drive an electrical alternator that is directly connected to the engine’s connecting rod.
The Stirling cycle itself is the most efficient thermodynamic cycle for the transformation of heat into mechanical energy. The engine operates without internal combustion and is dependent only on an external heat source. That makes it ideal for use as a converter of thermal energy into mechanical energy. A constant quantity of hydrogen gas is heated in the engine (4 in figure below). Through its expansion when heated (1 in the figure below) and contraction when cooled (2 and 3 in the figure below), the gas sets the pistons in motion. The pistons are linked by a connecting rod that drives an alternator that produces electrical energy. The efficiency of the Stirling engine increases at high temperature differentials between the hot side and the cold side. As there are no internal contaminants caused by combustion, the pistons, bearings and seals have a very long service life.
Fig. 2: Schematic of the Ripaso Energy PWR BLOK.
PWR BLOK is a container-based product is specifically designed to cost-efficient extract energy from residual gases. It contains of 14 Stirling engines arrayed in a 45-ft container and delivers total net output of 400 kW. The Stirling engines remove the risk of dealing with volatile gas because they burn it in a combustion chamber under very low pressure and with no compression, just heat. The engines are, thanks to the external combustion design, practically indifferent to the type of gas burned and to the quality of the gas in question. This also gives low maintenance/service (6000 h) since the fuel don’t contaminate the inside of the engine itself. The PWR BLOK’s pricing gives the customer a payback period of around three to four years. The technology’s service life is at least 25 years.
A clear example of the benefits offered by the PWR BLOK can be seen in the ferrochrome industry in South Africa. This industry produces large amounts of residual gas that are currently flared off. At the same time, electricity costs account for nearly a third of the industry’s total production costs. Ripasso’s solution makes it possible to burn the gas while at the same time using it to generate electricity at a cost of just 20 EUR/MWh, a record low for climate-friendly electricity, and very competitive to the industry’s average price today of 52 EUR/MWh. Since this also reduces the company’s need to purchase electricity from the grid by up to 15-18%, it in turn reduces the companies’ carbon dioxide emissions. South Africa currently generates approx. 87% of all its electricity from fossil fuels, according to figures from Eskom. Ripasso’s technology enables an annual 3500-tonne reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in South Africa per PWR BLOK installed.

A particularly beautiful Blue Mountains orchid.
The Xanthorrhoea or grass tree is a genus of 30 species endemic to Australia.
The Blue Mountains and Great Dividing Range were formed about 50 million years ago when the area was uplifted. More recently, volcanic flows covered large areas of the mountains in basalt. These have largely worn away, leaving only occasional outcrops on the high peaks. | 2019-04-21T02:42:27Z | https://www.highandwild.com.au/latest-news/ |

For the second week of BM # 50 I have picked Methi recipes. Methi or fenugreek is a winter green which is one of the greens that is my favorite, next to sarso or mustard. Spinach is one green that I am not really fond of , though I eat it mixed with some other veggie . As always Valli put a clause to these methi dishes, three days and three categories. So I begin with Methi Gota which is a very popular snack of Gujarat.
The gotas have a little bit of sugar, which is added to kill the bitterness of the fenugreek. These gotas were my father in laws favorite and we used to make them very often. Times have changed and deep fried food is avoided but still we do make them once in a while.These gotas are a part of the Gujrati Thali that I made. I had cooked for 100 people at the hotel and I still need to post that Thali.

Police in Northern Ireland say two police officers narrowly escaped being killed in a landmine attack in Co Fermanagh at the weekend.
Details of the incident, which happened on Saturday, were only released by the PSNI this afternoon.
A landmine containing a substantial amount of home-made explosives was planted under a bridge near the village of Rosslea.
Police say the two officers sustained minor injuries because only part of the device exploded. The landmine was later defused by British Army bomb experts.
The attack is being blamed on dissident republicans.
The PSNI have condemned those who planted the bomb, saying their depraved actions have nothing to offer anyone in the community.

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Colin Powell (search) has been evasive about his future, skirting questions about the timing of his widely expected departure after four rough-and-tumble years as America's chief diplomat.
In dozens of interviews, Powell has dismissed questions about his plans by saying with a smile, "I serve at the pleasure of the president."
Powell has long been considered to be a one-term secretary of state, irrespective of whether Bush was re-elected. Speculation has been rife for months about possible successors in a second Bush term. Among those mentioned are national security adviser Condoleezza Rice (search) and U.N. Ambassador John Danforth (search).
Last July, Bush suggested during an appearance in Philadelphia that he would be happy if Powell were to remain on. The remark went virtually unnoticed by the media but caught the attention of Powell aides.
During a September interview with The Associated Press, Powell was asked whether he considered Bush's comment to be an invitation for him to stay on.
"Time will tell. We will see," Powell replied.
When asked Wednesday about Powell's plans, his spokesman, Richard Boucher, reverted to the usual language about "serving at the pleasure of the president."
One possibility would be for Powell to stay on for a brief period until after the national elections in Iraq, which are supposed to be held before the end of January 2005.
As analysts see it, a post-Iraq election departure for Powell would make more sense than one that could occur just days before the balloting in Iraq but after Bush's second term begins.
At a minimum, Bush's re-election means a series of foreign trips Powell plans will take on a more serious cast than they would have if Sen. John Kerry had prevailed Tuesday.
And the Bush victory means that his own trip to an Asia-Pacific summit meeting in Chile before Thanksgiving will involve substantive exchanges rather than farewell handshakes and polite banter.
The 20 or so Asia-Pacific leaders invited there will be eager to hear what Bush has in mind for the region in his second term.
For his part, Powell will travel to Mexico on Monday for an overnight visit. The following week, he plans to spend four days in Chile as part of the U.S. summit entourage. He then will fly to Egypt for a major international conference on Iraq's future, a meeting Powell hopes to use to expand international cooperation for Iraq.
He also will attend a NATO meeting in Brussels in December and possibly meetings of other trans-Atlantic groups in Europe. In addition, Powell will attend a meeting in Morocco next month to push the Bush administration's pro-democracy agenda for Arab countries.
In the coming days, Powell will be boning up on issues involving Mexico ahead of his Monday visit. Mexican officials will be eager to hear more about Bush's proposal to provide legal status — at least on a temporary basis — for millions of undocumented aliens in the United States. Mexico is the principal source of such migrants.
Renewable three-year work permits would be available for them if they can prove that they have a job and meet other criteria. Mexico strongly supports the initiative.
Bush proposed it last January but little has been heard about it since.
If Congress approves, officials say the new rules will make America safer by helping for the first time to document migrants who have no legal standing in the United States. | 2019-04-23T08:03:01Z | https://www.foxnews.com/story/colin-powell-may-leave-bush-team |
Estudio comparativo entre aislados clínicos y no clínicos de S. cerevisiae y su papel como patógeno emergente.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has traditionally been used in industrial fermentative processes, beer and wine production, baking, and as a nutritional supplement or even as a probiotic. This is the case of the probiotic strain of this species, S. cerevisiae var. boulardii which has been widely used in Europe to treat several types of diarrhoea. Although S. cerevisiae and S. boulardii have commonly been considered as safe microorganism, this concept has changed due to an increased number of human infections. Consequently, S. cerevisiae is now considered an emerging opportunistic pathogen that can cause clinically relevant infections, mainly associated with immunocompromised patients. With the aim of know the possible role of this yeast as an opportunistic pathogen, the present work tackles a comparative study between clinical and no clinical isolates of S. cerevisiae from different point of view. This study could be of great interest for all food industry that include S. cerevisiae inside their preparation, just as in the hospital environment, warning of the risk that entail the administration of products which contain the above mentioned yeast to immunosuppressed person. | 2019-04-22T18:16:59Z | http://roderic.uv.es/handle/10550/15627 |

I'd like to move my Teamcity server to a new machine, going from one Linux box to another. I'm already using an external MySQL database, so connecting the new machine to the DB once the old Teamcity instance is shut down will be simple. My question is, rather than using maintainDB to get some of the other backup information to move over, can I simply shutdown the old instance, rsync the .BuildServer directory on the old machine to my $TEAMCITY_DATA_ROOT directory on the new server so that they are identical (including the artifacts, etc.), set up the Teamcity.war in the new Tomcat, and then fire up the new server? I typically use the .war distribution deployed to Tomcat rather than the .tar.gz release.
In case it's important, my current data root is the default $HOME/.BuildServer and the Teamcity server is installed in $HOME/tomcat/webapps; on the new machine it will be /opt/teamcity/BuildServer and /opt/teamcity/tomcat.
I also have one additional question: I am currently using the built-in Teamcity authentication, but I would like to switch to authenticating via Active Directory. I saw that my existing users will be dropped when I make the switch; will my role and group structures be dropped as well or will they be preserved (i.e., will I still have "Role A" or "Group 3" with existing permissions intact but without users assigned to them)?
Syncing .BuildServer and database are all you need form TeamCity perspective.
Please also make sure you transfer all the related environment like environment variables, files that are configurd in TeamCity configuration (if any), logging settings configured in Tomcat's "config" directory, etc.
Details instructions can be found in the doc.
As to switching to another authentication scheme: settings of roles and groups are preserved. | 2019-04-25T20:02:03Z | https://teamcity-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206242809-Teamcity-server-to-server-migration |
I was elected Dean of the Cathedral in December, 2008. I am passionate about building relationships rooted in the love of God so that the relationship is transformational for all involved. I enjoy strategic thinking and planning so that the Cathedral becomes more fully the happening spot in downtown St. Pete for lively learning, most excellent liturgical worship and heartwarming fellowship…a place where people have fun engaging God in Christ!
I came to the cathedral in May of 2016 to help broaden the Cathedral’s reach into the St. Petersburg downtown community. My passion is to open wide the love of God as known in Jesus to all I meet. I am excited about the opportunity we have as the Cathedral to reclaim and reimagine our presence in this city and the lives of our neighbors.
I began praying with my family at St. Peter's Cathedral over the summer of 2017. We sought and found a progressive and inclusive church that also values the beauty of formal Episcopal liturgy. I am pleased to serve at the altar on Sundays at the Cathedral, along with offering occasional opportunities in formation. During the week I can be found at Berkeley Preparatory School, where I serve as school chaplain.
I have been at the Cathedral since 2001, with many of those years being “in the pew.” My priestly ministry on staff has been since 2012. My primary role as Precentor involves planning liturgies and coordinating our guilds involved in worship. While pastoral care is shared among all the clergy, it is also the primary focus of my ministry. I love serving at the Cathedral “seasonally” from November through May. If I weren’t at the altar, I’d be singing in the choir!
I fell in love with the Episcopal Church and its music while in graduate school, and have been at the Cathedral since 2009. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve with the Cathedral congregation who support and appreciate the gift of music, and recognize how music can change lives and bring us closer together as a community.
I have been at the Cathedral as a parishioner since 1986 and came on staff in 2011. In my work with Publications, I work on a variety of projects ranging from bulletins for worship and weddings, coordinating with the Altar Guild, and updating monthly intercessions for birthdays, anniversaries and deaths. I also love rehearsing for and singing in the Cathedral, Chamber, and Festival Choirs.
I have been attending the Cathedral with my family since September 2017. We love the sense of hospitality and welcome at the Cathedral, especially for our young children. I love being a part of Children’s Ministry and believe that an important part of faith formation begins with children experiencing God’s unconditional love for them through the relationships they build at church.
I am passionate about mentoring and advocating for today’s youth, as well as those who have been marginalized, and being an encouraging voice to the people God places in my path. I am excited about what God has done and will do through the Cathedral family, as well as the impact that will prayerfully ripple into the city of downtown St. Petersburg, and beyond.
I am excited to join the Cathedral Church of St. Peter to create a new choir for children of all ages, and to network with the many arts and civic organizations in the thriving downtown St. Petersburg community and beyond to foster mutually beneficial and exciting relationships centered around music and the arts.
The Chapter is the 12-member lay board of directors that, with the dean, sets policy, watches the finances, and supports the spiritual life of the congregation. Each year four new members are elected to three-year terms. | 2019-04-23T04:10:01Z | https://www.spcathedral.org/staff/ |
Meh..... Not many good rolls there.
I opened two supercontainers yesterday.
This is the second time I got a Premium ship in the last 3~years. The other was the Warspite.
Yours seemed a bit down on luck though. Regular flags have no business being in a supercontainer as far as I'm concerned. It always feels like a slap in the face when you get a supercontainer expecting some exciting reward but you get 100 November Foxtrots (-5% to consumable reload) instead.
Gratz on the Perth! I love the ship, just don't get to give it enough attention because there is always something else needing more attention. I can not wait until I am at a spot in the game to grind up my Perth captain to 19 points and go to town. Good luck with her and gratz again!
Last three have been coal, the one before that was 50 flags of some sort.
If I get another Tier X ship by the 28th, and that SC is also coal? I will be adding another container for the Salem. I find them to be underwhelming most of the time.
Yeah I had pretty much the same results....did get 1500 steel though. | 2019-04-23T14:14:41Z | https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/170400-opening-20-supercontainers/ |

At all times, Muslims should follow the commands of the Qur'an (-31) to "lower their gaze and guard their modesty...." Islam recognizes that we are human and are given to human weakness, so this rule provides safeguards for our own sake. Muzammil Siddiqui answers " Muslims should have good elations with all people, males as well as females. Akhdan are sweethearts or for a man a mistress and for a woman a lover.
African-American Muslims, as well as Arab and Asian immigrants from cultures that practice arranged marriages--are now unenthusiastic to do the same for their own children.
In an arranged marriage, a Muslim family usually investigates the prospective candidate further - talking with teachers, professors, employers, friends, family, Imams, colleagues, etc. It is a well-known fact that Islamic religious or cultural events are often segregated by gender?
In Islam consent is very important- that is neither women nor men can be married against their will.
In this, there are sufficient proofs for people who think.
Qur'an There are clear verses in the Quran against the natural results of dating; from the seemingly innocent kiss to the more obvious.Parents have the support of the community in finding spouses for their children.Relatives, networking, social gatherings particularly weddings, make arranging marriages easier.A question arises as to how they met each other before their marriage? They had probably met at work and dated each other.In the past Muslims did not date because of arranged marriages.The first group is "Strict Muslims" who date halal (in an Islamically permissible style). | 2019-04-25T03:44:41Z | http://moscowtorex.ru/dating-courting-done-right-14101.html |
Pro Drainage Solutions installs Sump pumps wired into a house's main electrical system, but it's important for us to include some kind of power backup as well. Many sump pumps in Cotton Plant, AR use car style batteries as a power backup, but if you don't like the idea of having a battery in your basement, we can install a sump pump that is run off the water pressure in your home.
Some people use a five gallon bucket for their sump pit, Pro Drainage Solutions feels this can in fact cause problems in the long run because there is not enough room for the sump pump to work properly. In Cotton Plant, AR, Pro Drainage Solutions makes sure your sump pit is at least 18 inches across and 22 inches or more deep can keep this problem from happening. | 2019-04-25T10:17:42Z | http://www.prodrainagesolutions.com/ar/foundation-drainage-in-cotton-plant/ |

Every business owner looks forward to their company’s growth and expansion. Whether it’s adding more products and services, expanding into a new market, or offering new sales channels, growth is always a welcome change. However, it’s unfortunate to see some businesses not taking full advantage of the opportunities available to them.
When the peak of a business’s life cycle approaches, warehouses often start to reach their full capacity. With pickers wasting time looking for SKUs and pallets piling up in the aisle, it’s not hard to see why the prospect of growth doesn’t sound as rosy as it once was. Records show that warehouses reaching past their 80-90% capacity will start to reduce productivity.
The perennial problem of choosing the right storage systems manufacturer and finding the right solutions may be solved by understanding available options and their best uses.
Known as one of the most versatile and durable storage systems, pallet racking can maximise space and allow for more goods to be stored. It comes in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different types of inventory.
This is the most basic and most affordable type of warehouse storage. It uses no extra equipment and allows for pallets to be stacked. It does come with a few downsides, though, such as possible product damage, low space utilisation, and an increased chance of toppling.
Compared to pallet racking, shelving is smaller and is used in spaces where space utilisation is important, particularly in cases where it comes at a premium. You have two classes to choose from, industrial and wide span shelving. They use drawers and dividers to increase storage capacity and maximise vertical space.
Your choice of storage solution should also depend on a number of other factors, including consistency of product sizes, warehouse space, and SKU quantity. There are different warehouse storage options, but the best part is you can combine them to get the perfect solution for your business. | 2019-04-18T15:21:56Z | http://www.thirdeyemovement.org/3-storage-solutions-for-your-growing-business |

I’ve had other CBD roasts, and as a pot- and coffee-head I get the feel for the concept. The offering from Green Roads, which is based in Florida and distributes around the country, has a nice aroma with strong earthy notes.

Former Ulster Unionist leader Sir Reg Empey has claimed that Sinn Fein’s demand for an Irish language act is “less about recognition and more about trying to impose an ideology that decades of brutal terror could not”.
The House of Lords peer made the remarks yesterday in the wake of an article penned by Sinn Fein MLA Declan Kearney.
In the piece, which was published on EamonnMallie.com on Monday, Mr Kearney said implementation of an Irish language act “is central to parity of esteem, and proper, official acceptance of the Irish national identity in the North of Ireland”.
However, Lord Empey claimed Sinn Fein is using the issue of an Irish language act as a way to divide the people of Northern Ireland, rather than unite them.
He added: “Sinn Fein clearly need reminding that they are not the gatekeepers of equality and human rights. We must never forget that Sinn Fein were willing and enthusiastic apologists for decades of human rights abuses perpetrated by the IRA.
“It is hard to escape the conclusion that this is less about recognition and more about trying to impose an ideology that decades of brutal terror could not.
Lord Empey also accused the republican party of “desperately trying to pursue De Valera’s ideal of recreating a mythical nation of true bred gaels, fluent in their ancient tongue – a tongue precious few of them can speak”.
He added: “The sub-text is clear. Those who do not speak Irish or who do not regard it as part of their identity and heritage are not truly Irish.
In his article, Mr Kearney also wrote: “An Ireland of equals will only come about once partition has been ended and a national democracy is achieved.
TUV leader Jim Allister said Mr Kearney’s comments should demonstrate to unionists that “Stormont for Sinn Fein is a waiting room for Irish unity”. | 2019-04-22T10:20:28Z | https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/sinn-fein-not-gatekeepers-of-equality-empey-1-8157891 |

A photograph published on the front page of the New York Times on May 25, 2016, and many other media outlets, showing Syrian refugee Nidhal Al Harfoush, 36, and his two daughters Ghadeer, 7, and Gharam, 6, carrying their belongings as they walked towards Greek policemen, during the evacuation of the makeshift camp in Idomeni, is the starting point of this story. This picture gave the a opportunity to the family to find a home in Nea Karvali, a town close to the city of Kavala. Α Spanish volunteer, who had met the father and daughters during their days in Idomeni, recognised them and after a short inquiry about their transference conditions, he had eventually managed to find them a home, through the Spanish NGO “Himaya.” On November 22, 2015, wife of Nidhal, Wafaa, left Syria and after a long journey managed to reach Germany. Today, Nidhal, Ghadeer and Gharam live along with other three Syrians and a newborn child at a house rented by “Himaya”. The neighbours are friendly towards them and the girls take walks and play at the swings around the house. Their father tries to fill the void of their mother’s absence. He takes them to the park, plays with them, bathes them, puts them to bed. In the evening he exchanges messages with his wife hoping they will reunite quickly. He misses her a lot and the girls keep asking about their mother. But time passes slowly. Nidhal will have his first interview for asylum in Greece in February 2017 and then he will have to wait to be relocated.
Lignite is considered the black gold of Greece and renders the country more energy independent. The largest lignite deposit of Greece is concentrated in the area that extends from Florina to Ptolemaida in western Macedonia. Entire villages such as Charavgi, Klitos and Komanos are expropriated and their inhabitants are removed so that the mines are extended. Thousands of people work every day under harsh conditions in a landscape where black dominates. Smeared faces where only the eyes stand out, ash, dust and dense clouds of smoke from burning coal cover the sky. Men, who work every day in the most dangerous posts of the power plant, clean the conveyor belts from the ash and scoop out the dust from the lignite, wearing only a simple protective mask. According to the president of the workers, “Life expectancy for those working in the lignite center 67 years compared to the average in rest of the country which is around 10 years more.
Known in Greece as Evzones, the soldiers comprising the presidential guard – a term dating back to Homer, meaning the “well-girt” men, implying an elite status – are a symbol of discipline. The unit is often referred to as “the jewel of the Greek army”, and rightly so. Their primary mission is to guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier around the clock, which may seem like a piece of cake, except it isn’t. During their watch, they have to remain completely motionless and stand at attention at all costs in all kinds of weather, even then during violent demonstrations. As a sign of respect to this select unit, the presidential guard is also in charge of the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag on the sacred rock of the Acropolis.
Akis Andreou, 55, has been performing stunts since he was 17 and in 2006 set up the Wall of Death, a narrow wooden barrel 5.5 metres high and 9 meters wide. Andreou, one of the few remaining performers of such motorcycle stunts in Greece and one of only two owners of these barrels, does other odd jobs to earn a living during winter, when the Wall is closed due to weather conditions. | 2019-04-26T15:58:08Z | https://www.yanniskolesidis.com/gallery/features/ |

"Medical Waste Contamination" by Meghan Goodwin, Richard Grady et al.
With the medical field advancing, prescriptions and other medicines are becoming more common and are increasing biomedical waste. These drugs are leaching into our water resources through improper disposal such as rinsing them down a sink, throwing them into household trash, or directly depositing them into the environment. At Worcester Polytechnic Institute this is a problem because students do not have access to proper disposal methods. They are adding to the wastewater problem instead of helping it. Our methods to change WPI’s effect on the problem were conducted through research and a survey of students’ pharmaceutical waste habits. We learned the best solution is to install drop-boxes on campus. In order to solve this problem, we need to start small.

She has a moderate energy level, meaning she can be rambunctious but still has good manners - isn't a jumper or a barker. She is about 4 years old, already spayed, and current on vaccines. She loves to cuddle on the couch and give kisses to her humans.

Not because I’m exhausted from watching both full football matches last night, (with both matches going to extra time!), but because I didn’t attend yesterday’s democracy protest.
I’m a permanent resident of Hong Kong now, and almost every issue that over 100,000 people marched for yesterday was for my benefit. I believe in what the protesters marched for and I selfishly made the choice not to attend.
I did have a really fun family day, with swimming and playing with dolls with my daughter. I play with dolls more than most adults should… I loved yesterday. However, there were more important issues at hand. I should have joined my fellow Hong Kongers on the street and I won’t make that mistake again.
We have recently seen the power of the people in Hong Kong, with a group called Scholarism, that forced the Education Bureau to back down over it’s planned national education curriculum in 2012, and this group is once again a major player in this fight for democracy.
It will be very interesting what happens with this and the OccupyCentral campaign. It seems that we have a big fight on our hands, and I for one feel very appreciative of the thousands of people who stood up on our behalf yesterday.
How about you? Did you attend the protest? If so, how was it? If not, do you regret not doing so?
I was listening, today, to an in depth commentary on what was happening in HK; love NPR, very informative. If I had been in HK I most surely would have joined in and protested. What China is trying to do, albeit with some semblance of subtlety, is turn HK into another one of its puppet-states. I think this is an outrage and it would break my heart to see anything change what HK is.
I wish, as I am sure many in HK do, that it were still in British hands. China is just the worst type of government imaginable; as long as those at the top reap rewards, to hell with the rest. China does not have the capacity to treasure the Pearl that it is in possession of with HK.
I truly feel that everyone in HK has to continuously be on gaurd and ready to speak out/ protest so as to never seem complacent, that would be a grievous error and China will take any form of complacency as acceptance of their policies.
To everyone in HK I have to say “Bon courage!” Stay strong and do not accept anything less than what already is. China is all about removing freedoms, do not let them.

To start off, 2009 Cadillac Escalade is newer by 7 year(s). Which means there will be less support and parts availability for 2002 Acura CL. In addition, the cost of maintenance, including insurance, on 2002 Acura CL would be higher. At 6,161 cc (8 cylinders), 2009 Cadillac Escalade is equipped with a bigger engine. In terms of performance, 2009 Cadillac Escalade (403 HP @ 5700 RPM) has 143 more horse power than 2002 Acura CL. (260 HP @ 6900 RPM). In normal driving conditions, 2009 Cadillac Escalade should accelerate faster than 2002 Acura CL. With that said, vehicle weight also plays an important factor in acceleration. 2009 Cadillac Escalade weights approximately 1029 kg more than 2002 Acura CL. So despite on having greater horse power, its additional weight may have an impact towards its acceleration in comparison.
Because 2009 Cadillac Escalade is four wheel drive (4WD), it will have significant more traction and grip than 2002 Acura CL. In wet, icy, snow, or gravel driving conditions, 2009 Cadillac Escalade will offer significantly more control. With that said, do keep in mind that many other factors such as speed and the wear on your tires can also have significant impact on traction and control. Let's talk about torque, 2009 Cadillac Escalade (565 Nm @ 4400 RPM) has 250 more torque (in Nm) than 2002 Acura CL. (315 Nm @ 3500 RPM). This means 2009 Cadillac Escalade will have an easier job in driving up hills or pulling heavy equipment than 2002 Acura CL. | 2019-04-18T14:55:56Z | https://www.automotiveterms.com/vehicle-comparison/2009-cadillac-escalade-vs-2002-acura-cl/6389/47545 |
Memorizing this verse was an assignment my father, the minister, gave to a class of 7-9 year olds at Piney River Church of Christ near Dickson, TN. The language of the King James version made the message was largely unaccessible to me. I understood the general gist of the verse – that scripture was written to teach us about God’s love – but not its connection to the rest of this passage.
Paul is writing to Christians in Rome encouraging unity and willingness to love and serve one another. He refers to the Old Testament which was more familiar to early Christians than it is to many of us. He wanted his audience to understand that Jesus, the root of Jesse, is the hope of all the world. God’s incredible power came into the world through Jesus and the salvation and forgiveness he offers. The joy and peace of trusting in God is available to all believers. God sends his Spirit among us to transform our lives and empower each of us to do what we can to be the change God dreams for the world. | 2019-04-23T09:12:39Z | https://www.vinestreet.org/advent-devotionals-2018/2018/12/5/december-5-2018 |

62 % of adults in the United States celebrate the holidays. 58 million pounds of chocolate candy are bought during Valenties´s day week. This time I will celebrete Valentine´s day on the beach with my friends drinking delicious Strawberry Coctail with Litchi and Rose peppercorns. I tried it before at the restaurant La Grassa in Sao Paulo and since then I dreamed about doing it by myself. I hope you will like it and can do it for your "valenine". Enjoy and wish all of you lots of love. Thank you Bori for a great time in La Grassa, every time I will drink Strawberry Cocktail I will think about you.

Have you ever muttered the words 'my precious' in a sinister tone? Mistaken an elderly gentleman with a giant white beard as Gandalf? Or bellowed 'you shall not pass!' to someone standing in your way?
The chances are that you've heard or done one of these things. And they all have one thing in common - apart from being somewhat anti-social, they are all references to author J.R.R Tolkien's universe.
Let's be honest - the books that distinguish Tolkien over the rest is his Lord of the Rings series. There's no better way to celebrate his work than to read his most recognised pieces.
Let's say the average person in Cambridge reads at least 300 words per minute.
According to a few sources, it takes approximately six hours and seven minutes to read the Fellowship of the Ring, four hours and 59 minutes to read The Two Towers, and six hours and seven minutes to read the Return of the King.
An estimation of around 17 hours proves it's possible. If you start now.
Tolkien Day wouldn't really be a true celebration without a bunch of lunatics dressing up as goblins.
There are a number of characters that you could dress up as - Gandalf, Galadriel, Aragorn, Legolas, Gollum, or the forgotten Tom Bombadil, who didn't quite make the film.
Even better yet, reading at a local book shop while dressed as Saruman. There's an idea.
Why not peruse the works of Tolkien's less known books or poetry?
Such works include The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, The Farmer Giles of Ham, The Battle of the Eastern Field, or Effantry.
Wherever someone lives and breathes, there is a Tolkien Society somewhere.
In this case, there's one in Cambridge. With just over 200 members on its Facebook group, the members enjoy various events in and around the city.
And I'm sure there will be members who would gladly join you in your adventures with one and two.
There's an easy one. Just have a party. Include the first three, and maybe invite the fourth.
And you can't invite people to a party without turning your house into Minas Tirith. | 2019-04-26T06:14:19Z | https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/five-things-celebrate-tolkien-reading-12795423 |

Just imagine returning home relishing setting down overfilled grocery bags, and sitting in the shade with a nice cup of tea on a hot day, when, instead, you notice the biggest swarm of the season settled in your front garden and immediately you’re propelled into swarm collecting mode!
You might sling the shopping in through the front door and focus on the job in hand spending ages rushing about collecting all the items needed for successful swarm collection. Even if you are a very well organised beekeeper, who needs only to collect the carefully pre-packed swarm collection kit, you might still wonder if the bees will be hanging there when you return to the tree.
If any of these responses sound familiar, then you will be delighted to learn that swarm bees give warning signals prior to takeoff, and the well informed beekeeper can easily take advantage of them to predict, and even halt, the departure of the swarm.
Bernd Heinrich, (1981) insect physiologist and pioneer of temperature control studies in insects, discovered the requirement for honey bees, in a swarm, to warm their wing muscles to at least 35oC (95oF) before takeoff, though he was not aware of the process by which all the bees in a swarm synchronously attain the optimum temperature for flight. By the way, have you ever, out of curiosity, poked a finger into the middle of a swarm and felt how amazingly warm it was in the center compared with the outside, and wondered what was happening in there? A four-pound swarm can generate enough heat to power a forty-watt light bulb, so it is pretty warm in the centre of a swarm.
Individual bees are endothermic which means that they can generate heat by themselves, and so can maintain their own thermal homeostasis. A bee generates heat by working her wing muscles, located in her thorax. A bee produces much body heat while in flight, but she can also activate these wing muscles (i.e., shiver) while not in flight, either to warm herself or to help keep her colony’s broodnest toasty warm, 33-36oC (91-97oF).
A cluster of swarm bees is therefore “warm blooded” and can regulate its temperature by adjusting its heat production and by clustering more tightly when the ambient air temperature drops below about 18oC (65oF). Cluster contraction conserves heat by reducing the surface area over which heat can be lost, and by also reducing internal convection currents. When the temperature falls to 14oC (58oF) the swarm cluster develops an outer mantle of bees in a quiescent state of just hanging motionless, whereas in the core the bees have some space to move about.
Figure 2. Temperature profiles of a swarm at low (5oC=41oF) and high (30oC=86oF) ambient temperatures.

You can see, in Figure 2, how a swarm regulates its collective temperature at different ambient air temperatures; on the left side it is only 5oC (40°F), and the bees are having to work hard to actively maintain the temperature between the core (35oC) and the mantle (19oC). A hot day of 30oC (86oF) is illustrated on the right, and bees in the mantle are mostly at rest with some active bees, most likely to be scouts. The channels between bees allows air to circulate by convection helping keep the temperature in the middle uniformly 35oC (95oF), whilst the mantle is 31oC (88oF).
But how does all this relate to swarm takeoff? Well, typically a swarm of about 10,000 honey bees hangs in a beard-like cluster from a solid object, often a tree, whilst the 300 to 500 scout bees go and choose a new home. They may hang for a few hours, or a few days, until a quorum of scouts has built up at one of the sites, which marks the end of the scouts’ decision-making process. Then it’s time for all the bees in the swarm to travel to the new home site and start moving in.
Work on swarm thermoregulation by Seeley and Tautz (2001) revealed the mechanisms by which all the bees in a swarm become suitably warmed and flight-ready with their wing muscles heated to 35oC (95oF) which is close to our core body temperature. The entire swarm knows when to warm up because around 100 of the scout bees who have visited the swarm’s new home site give the remaining 9,900 or so swarm-bees a clear signal to warm up their flight muscles to 35oC (95oF) to be ready to launch into flight. The signal first occurs around an hour before takeoff and comes in the form of piping which is easy for the beekeeper to hear by listening with an ear close to the swarm. This is usually possible as most swarms are extremely calm and settled, unless the bees are starving, or have been hanging in the open for a long period during poor weather. The piping noise is generated by a worker bee pressing her thorax, with wings pulled tightly together over the abdomen, onto another bee. While she presses against another bee, the scout bee activates her wing muscles and produces a sound resembling a Formula One car revving up at Le Mans. These piping scout bees are highly excited and run all over the swarm burrowing into it, and pausing frequently to pipe. At first, the beekeeper will hear sporadic weak piping sounds, but they will increase in intensity and build to a climax just before the swarm’s takeoff.
Some of the scout bees communicate imminent departure by shaking or vibrating the quiescent mantle bees. A shaker bee grasps her sister and shakes her body for one to two seconds at 16-18 Hz but this shaking signal is not as significant as another important signal, the buzz run. This third signal really gets the bees going and, if observed in conjunction with piping bees, is a clear sign that the swarm will usually takeoff in the next one or two minutes.
Figure 3. Panel 1: The buzz-runner runs towards the quiet bees. Panel 2: One second later, the buzz-runner makes contact with the cluster, spreads her wings, and buzzes the other bees. Panel 3: One second after making contact, the buzz-runner continues pushing through the cluster, still buzzing her wings. Panel 4: Bee is still buzzing her wings as she runs off. Drawing by Barrett Klein, from Honeybee Democracy (Princeton University Press) and used with permission from the author.
The buzz runners are also the pipers and are most noticeable on the swarm cluster just prior to takeoff. You can see above in the diagram how the buzz runner runs towards the small group of torpid bees, and a second later she spreads her wings and buzzes them as she makes contact with the cluster. She pushes through them still buzzing her wings when contact is broken, and she may fly round before landing to repeat the procedure. She may sense the temperature of the bees whom she presses against, and research informs us that takeoff begins only a few seconds after 100% of the bees have their wing muscles warmed to 35oC. And they’re off!
So how does this knowledge benefit beekeeping? Acquiring a deeper understanding of this amazing behavior of the scout bees on a swarm enables the beekeeper to watch some of nature’s most wonderful displays as a partner in a unique relationship with bees.
Practically, the beekeeper can examine closely the swarm and work out how near to takeoff it is by looking for signals. If no piping is heard and no buzz runners are seen, then there is time for assembling the necessary equipment, and to think carefully about the best action to take in a relaxed manner. How many times do beekeepers get so excited by swarms that they react rather than think things through quietly and carefully?
If, however, piping is heard, and maybe buzz running is also seen, then still all is not lost! The swarm can be lightly sprayed with cool water using a spray bottle. This will lower the bees’ body temperatures and will stop their departure cold, at least temporarily. Now the beekeeper has an extra 10 minutes or so to capture the swarm and so keep the girls at home.

The following is a summary of the breakout session "Economic Development through Tourism & Events" at the 2014 U.S.-Japan Council Annual Conference on October 10, 2014.
- Mr. Tsukasa Harufuku, President and CEO, JTB Hawaii, Inc.
This session discussed successful tourism markets and how to promote international accessibility, including the impact on community and economic development. Panelists presented the case of tourism between Hawaii and Japan and discussed tourism policy how to attract visitors.
The Government of Japan established its tourism policy when former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi was in power. The target was to welcome 10 million foreign tourists to Japan in 2010. Last year, Japan welcomed more than 10 million foreign tourists. However, Japan is still 27th in the world as a tourist destination. The No. 1 country is France (18 million) and the U.S. is No. 2 (17 million). Prime Minister Abe and his administration have drawn a plan to welcome 20 million foreign visitors by 2020.
Japan will host the summer Olympic and Paralympic games in 2020. To boost the number of foreign visitors, the Government of Japan promotes the country’s unique culture to the world. To achieve its goal, Japan needs to change not only its transportation system but also prepare multi-language signs and free Wi-Fi. Japan needs to make its tourism infrastructure universal. Cross-sector cooperation will also be needed.
Brand USA is the organization that promotes U.S. tourism. The Obama administration signed the Travel Promotion Act in 2010 and Brand USA uses both the U.S. government and private companies, as well as the Japan Tourism Agency (JTA) and other foreign countries’ tourism agencies, to welcome foreign visitors to the United States.
Tourists to Hawaii from Japan have a huge impact on Hawaii’s economy and jobs. Large-scale events like hosting the concert of a Japanese pop group drew in 15,000 tourists from Asian countries.
The United States and Japan signed the “Japan-U.S. Joint Promotional Agreement” in 2012, dubbing that year the Japan-U.S. Tourism Exchange Year. Japanese tourists are No. 2 in term of the greatest number of foreign visitors who spend money in Hawaii during their travel. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries is indispensable for Hawaii’s development and tax revenue.
Japan envisions becoming a leading tourism nation after the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic games. Brand USA is also seeking ways to attract more foreign visitors. They cooperate with airline companies for promotional campaigns.
During the Q&A session, the audience was interested in the difference between the Tokyo Olympic games in 1964 and 2020. The answer was that the Olympics in 1964 did not have any strategy for tourism, while there is a strategic plan in place for 2020. Japan also aims to invite more foreign visitors to local cities.
Chinese tourists have a huge impact on both the United States and Japan. The United States is still considering how to welcome increasing Chinese tourists. It is said that Chinese tourists will be the No. 1 visitor in 2018, but the United States is not ready for that. All panelists agree that tourism brings goodwill and peace to each country. | 2019-04-24T00:06:14Z | http://www.usjapancouncil.org/economic_development_through_tourism_events_summary_2014_annual_conference |

Shauna La is creating artwork that represents the "terroir" of Vallauris, France!
I have been accepted into AIR Vallauris, an artist residency in the South of France! It is a dream in the process of coming true, and I need your help to make it come to fruition! Any amount you can offer to help cover the costs would be so appreciated! Besides the series of paintings and sculptures that will be exhibited at the end of the residency, I will be making artwork specifically for my Sapphire, Platinum, and Diamond Patrons!
Just like a fine French wine is a product of its terroir, I feel that artwork is directly related to the environment in which it is created. How the light falls on the region, the feel of the air, the fragrances wafting by, the melody of the spoken language, the harmony of native sounds, the flavors of the local palate, and the energy of the area are all absorbed into the artist and are echoed within the artwork. Vallauris is located in a beautiful region ripe with creative energy, and I would love to be able to create pieces of art in such a special environment. When I paint, I use my fingers and hands as brushes a portion of the time, basically sculpting with color onto canvas. The tactile sensation of forming and shaping with a medium is very interesting to me. I have long wanted to work with ceramics and would be elated to explore this medium at such a place! Attending A.I.R. Vallauris is extremely important to me. I would have the opportunity to be immersed in the French culture and language that I have always admired, while pursuing my professional growth as an artist. My goals during the residency would be to create a series of ceramic sculptures and a series of paintings inspired by the “terroir” of Vallauris.
I will need to pay for the residency period from July 11th to August 11th($2,769.60), hotel for 1 to 2 nights($200), flights to and from Nice via LAX($1500), transportation, meals($800), and materials($1000). By May 11th, I need to have $2,769 to pay for the rest of the residency and the deposit. I have already paid 500 euros for the nonrefundable deposit to save my space! By July 9th, I need to have paid for my flights and raise enough money for everything else!
Want to be in the Silver Club?
As a Patron Gold, you'll be recognized for making my work possible.
As a Patron Platinum, you will receive a unique artwork, behind the scenes access, video credits, and much more!
As a Patron Diamond, you will receive a custom gift, behind the scenes access, video credits, and much more!
As a Patron Californium, not only will you receive my forever gratitude, I will create a piece of artwork for you, give you video credit, and much more!
I have been accepted into A.I.R. Vallauris located in the South of France! I will be working and staying at the residency in order to complete a series of paintings and sculptures while learning French and experiencing the culture. Your funding would help me to cover the residency costs, flights, materials, transportation, and meals during the residency period which is July 11th to August 11th! | 2019-04-20T17:02:34Z | https://staging.patreon.com/ShaunaLa |
