They say that making to do lists at the beginning of your day gives you tiny goals to achieve.\nIn my case it never helps, so I end up making finished to do lists at the end of the day, cause it gives me more sense of.. accomplishment? That way i can see what I did manage to do in my day, because my original plans always get derailed..\nSo today I did the above stuff on the list! I m editing two videos at the moment and about to film another one soon! |
Though the scenic highlight of our workshop week was definitely the caves on Devil’s Island, looking for photo ops we also traveled off island, to Ashland, to shoot the murals.\nHere is a link to read about the murals. It includes a page about each of the individual murals. Just a couple of interesting facts about the murals in general. These are the work of two women artists, spanning 20 years; the first dedicated in 1998 and the most recent, May of 2018. The people shown in the murals are real people! Most of the images were done from photographs supplied by local families and the Ashland historical archives and, with very few exceptions, the people are identified by name.\nAs a tourist to the area, you will enjoy a morning or an afternoon walking around the historic center of Ashland to see the murals. Take along one of the walking guides if, like me, you like a little narration with your art. Assuredly you can enjoy them for their visual impact alone. They are very well done. You do not need to know the individuals pictured and, collectively, they give a sense of the history and the people of Ashland.\nTo see the slideshow at your own pace, click on the pause button on the screen. The link above allows you to page through in the same order I have presented them here and read all about each one.\nTo round out a full week in the area, Gerry and I stayed two extra nights in Bayfield. That gave us a full day on Saturday to explore the mainland parts of the Lake Superior National Lakeshore. We started by visiting the Visitors Center located in Bayfield.\nBayfield was once the county seat and all the administration and courts for the county were located in an imposing brownstone building. The National Park Service now occupies the building. I mention this because the quarrying of brownstone – the very same stone that gives its name to townhouses in big metropolises (we lived in a brownstone in Brooklyn back in the early 80s) – was a big industry in this region.\nFrenel Lens in the lighthouses exhibit at the Visitors Center in Bayfield.\nFrom the Bayfield Visitors Center we got on the road (#13) and drove to Meyer’s Beach, the southwestern corner of the NPS property. We parked and took the trail through the woods to the cave overlook area – a walk of 1.8 miles each way.\nThe beginning of the Cave Overlook Trail. Don’t be fooled. the boards were not easy on the legs.\nLike going to see the caves in the small, fast, boats, hiking to the overlook was a situation where you have to endure the trip to get the reward. The scenery at the overlook was worth every pain-filled step along a trail that was up and down, up and down, first on wooden stairs (no rails!) and then over roots and through mud.\nI so wish the pictures could convey the heart-stopping height of the cliffs, and depth of the caverns carved by the waves. I had to hold on to a tree in order to lean out over the edge to point my camera down, and even so I had to fiddle with all the shadow sliders in Photoshop to make the depths visible in the pictures. With the bright sunlight filtering through the pines, the upper regions were perfectly lit, but the depths were dark and mysterious. Look for the occasional flash of a neon kayak to help you find the water!\nThe way back was long, and we were already pretty tired. The trail is strenuous for a couple of 60 year olds! At about the midway point, there is an access to the beach. We walked down to the water only to discover that walking back along the beach was going to mean walking in the water. We did it. We took off our shoes and socks so we could wade around the overhanging vegetation. OH! That cold water felt good on our aching feet! Even my cold-phobic husband got used to the temperature, eventually.\nThe walk along the beach was a breath of fresh air (literally – it was cooler near the water) because the scenery along the shore was totally different from what we had seen in the woods. The beach was sandy with pebbles. The waves were small and gentle. Birches leaned out over the sand to catch the sunlight, their white bark and bright green leaves contrasted merrily against the dark pines, the blue water and high overcast sky. I looked for pretty rocks and beach glass caught against the dried and bleached driftwood.\nExhausted and thirsty by the time we arrived back at the parking lot, we got into our car and headed to Cornucopia, WI for a bite to eat.\nCornucopia is literally a one block town. On one side is Little Nikki’s Bar and the Post Office. On the other a hardware/convenience store. Oh! There is also a real estate office and an ice cream shop. That’s the whole town! We had a very good lunch at Little Nikki’s, so if you are going to hike or kayak from Meyer’s Beach, take note that there is a decent place to eat at about 5 minutes from the parking lot.\nCornucopia is also where you rent kayaks to see the caves. Be mindful that you need a sea kayak on Lake Superior, not a regular recreational kayak!\nTo fill out the afternoon we drove “back” toward the Sand Bay entrance to the Lakeshore. I say “back” because Meyer’s Beach is at the far southwestern corner of the property, and we were headed backwards towards Bayfield to get to Sand Bay. (We were going north along the western side of the peninsula).\nSomeplace, I read that the “thing to do” at Sand Bay was see the fishery. Ask and ye shall receive!\nThe ranger station at Sand Bay is in a trailer while a new Visitors Center is under construction. We stopped at the trailer and asked the ranger on duty about the fishery, and we were offered the free guided tour! Just as we had been told.\nThis is the pile driver that was used to put down the pilings that supported the pond nets. Now on shore because of storm damage.\nIt was extremely interesting. Our guide was a history enthusiast and she enjoyed telling us all about the operations, the fishing in the Lake Superior, the lives of the people in the area at the time – and showing us the buildings, inside and out. Be aware that you do not need to take a guided tour to walk around the fishery property, but you will not be able to go inside.\nHere you can see the damaged wharf.\nThe long stone wharf was destroyed, huge pilings that once contained the rocks thrown helter-skelter. The wooden pier was gone. The long shed that served for receiving the fish was so deteriorated by the storm that it had to be removed from the pier to try to preserve it. The ranger explained that the maintenance crews had so much repair work, that they were not able to keep all the parts of the park open this summer.\nRings for the pond nets. These were slipped over the pilings.\nWe learned a lot. This fishery employed “pond” nets (sometimes written “pound” nets) which kept the fish alive. The nets were emptied about 2-3 times a week, so getting live fish meant fresher fish. The other type of net in use in Lake Superior was a gill net. This is a large flat net situated vertically to lake bottom. The fish swim into it and get caught, their heads through the holes, their gills preventing them from going backwards and their bulk from going further forward. They drown. The gill nets are also not particular about what fish they catch – They catch anything, non-food fish, and npn-fish, too.\nThe pond nets are shaped like a giant basket, in that they have a floor and sides. At the corners or around the edges huge metal rings are attached to the net. These slip over pilings that are driven into the lake bottom, suspending the net in the middle. The fish are guided into the nets. Once the fish swim into the “basket,” they have a hard time finding the exit again.\nTo haul in the nets, the men maneuver their large flat-bottomed boat around the edges of the net lifting it by the rings off the pilings. Then they haul the full net into their boat. They toss all the unwanted lake dwellers and non-food fish back into the lake, alive, and put the food fish into barrels to be taken back to the dock for processing – either icing or salting. They were fishing mainly for whitefish, lake trout and herring.\nForge, anvil and other tools in the work shed.\nThis particular fishery was active during a couple of decades when the State of Wisconsin was no longer tracking commercial fishing activity in Lake Superior, but it was not the heyday for fishing. That had occurred in the previous century. Still the fishery made a decent living for these three brothers and their families until it shut down. Regionally, fishing declined dramatically in Lake Superior in the 1930s due to invasive species like the lamprey eel and over-fishing in general.\nToday, both whitefish and lake trout, fresh from Lake Superior, can be found on all restaurant menus and in fish stores throughout the Chequamegon region. Be sure to try them both. We were amazed at the variety of ways these fishes are prepared. They are both delicious.\nI have found the history of the region fascinating, and I urge you not to overlook it because of the dazzling allure of the caves. The caves are spectacular, but they are like the flowers on a hat. Very showy and unforgettable, but beneath there is the hat itself – also interesting for its craftsmanship, materials, and style. The “hat” of this region is made from the roles of Native Americans, fur traders, loggers, fishermen and tourism officials who have all contributed to its history and culture.\nLakeshore and damaged wharf where the fishery brought in the catch.\nFor dinner, we met friends at the Old Rittenhouse Inn for dinner. It was a nostalgic trip for me – a memory of my father who loved this place. With a wonderful dinner and company, it was a evening to repeat.\nThe whole trip is worth repeating. As I mentioned earlier, I want to see Isle Royale and the other NPS properties along the Lake and I can see another workshop at MISA in my future, too!\nIf you are interested in lodging and dining details about this trip, please click here. |

Storyline : A woman seeks revenge against those who orchestrated a plane crash that killed her family.\nEon Productions’ ‘The Rhythm Section’ has recommenced filming in Ireland after production was forced to shut down earlier in the year following the injury of leading actress Blake Lively.\nBlake Lively & Jude Law were spotted filming in Dublin on Sunday evening with director Reed Morano (‘The Handmaid’s Tale’).\nProduction was temporarily halted back in December after Lively sustained an injury to her hand while performing a stunt in Dublin.\nIt was unclear at the time when the production would return to Ireland as no date was made clear by the production team in its official statement about the incident. Local crew were also encouraged to seek other work while the American actress returned home to recover from her injury.\nIt was widely reported that surgery on the injured hand of Blake Lively did not go as planned and a further operation had been scheduled, causing a long-term delay to the return of the actress.\nProduction resumed elsewhere in June however as other production locations that included Spain and New York had been arrange to take place after the successful completion of filming in Ireland. Now the crew has return to wrap on principal photography with a February 2019 target for release still being held by Eon Productions.\n‘The Rhythm Section’ is an adaptation of Mark Burnell’s spy thriller, which follows protagonist Stephanie Patrick (Blake Lively), seeking to uncover the truth behind a plane crash that killed her family, and that she herself was meant to be on. The Eon production (‘James Bond’ Franchise) is set to have a budget of $50 million, and is being produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, with funding coming from Global Road.\n"Ireland plays many different things in this movie. It shows you how versatile it is, that it can be many different places. We love being here; we love the Irish crew… It's just the people; it's the welcoming spirit of the people that's just so lovely."\n"It's a great place to make movies. You've got great craftsmen and crews and a wonderful spirit here and beautiful locations and facilities. I guess we've been so busy travelling around the world [that] often you don't really notice what's on your own doorstep. Let's see, maybe we'll try and get Bond here at some point. I must say, having experienced it, I would love to come back."\nAn initial release date of February 22nd, 2019 was announced for ‘The Rhythm Section’ by Paramount Pictures who are handling worldwide distribution on the film. |

I was always a shy kid, a classic introvert. In school I’d always prefer to play on my own or read books in the quiet than to interact and engage with other children.\nSchool was the hardest in terms of dealing with social anxiety. I was much taller than the other kids and this made me self-conscious. My peers would often bully or taunt me for my height, and I would take these remarks to heart and it would make me withdraw and fear people and social settings even more.\nIn high school my anxiety remained the same. I’d fear everything involving people; including catching public transport, eating in front of others, attending birthdays or places where there’d be heaps of people, talking to my peers (especially boys!), giving presentations, going to a grocery store, walking along the street, talking on the phone, and even sending an email!\nAll these situations ignited great fear within me and I would become overly conscious of myself and my behaviour in social interactions, the classic ‘spotlight effect’.\nIt wasn’t until graduating from high school and starting university that I began to acknowledge my behaviours and the thoughts which may have been contributing to my anxiety. I began seeking self-help books which dealt with social anxiety and CBT, and worked on myself to counteract the negative automatic thoughts I’d have.\nFrom this, my anxiety relieved enormously. However it wasn’t until I begun the Learn to Live online program in conjunction with daily meditation that I saw tremendous results.\nI finished the Learn to Live program within 3 months, and in this short time I found my whole mindset and approach to social anxiety change for the better. Through the online coursework I was able to adapt the new knowledge and coping strategies and use them in social settings which would usually cause me great anxiety.\nThis program is different to others I have tried in terms of its format and its use of tailored CBT strategies for social anxiety sufferers. It gave me a challenge; something to work towards and commit to. I would start a new module each week and commit myself to doing the activities outlined.\nObviously it wasn’t an easy process. Essentially I was training myself to do the absolute opposite of what I’d usually do in situations which caused me fear. Instead of avoiding situations like I usually would, I would make myself confront them and stick to them until the initial fear all but disappeared. From talking to a stranger on the street, to striking up a conversation with a store person, or calling and making my own appointments.\nBy exposing myself to fearful situations and reminding myself of the practical strategies outlined on the program, I was able to overcome my fears and realise that I have much more inner strength than I realised.\nOne of the turning points was when I decided to attend a big event by myself. It included meeting and talking to a celebrity. I was so anxious beforehand, but because I was aware of these thoughts I knew how to counteract them and relax.\nNot only did I make new friends, I also managed to hold a conversation with the celebrity and ask for a picture!\nFrom this event I’ve continued to improve in leaps and bounds. I can happily walk down a street or go shopping without feeling that crushing sense of self-consciousness and fear of what people think of me. I have no qualms about picking up a phone and talking to a stranger. I initiate 90% of my conversations with strangers, friends, and family.\nRather than fearing social settings, I now look at them as ‘challenges’ and find I actually end up enjoying being in these situations.\nOne of my favourite things to do now is to sit and eat at a café in the city – by myself. I also feel calm and confident in my social interactions, to the point that now talking casually to a stranger in passing or with a co-worker is second nature.\nOf course there have been times where I’ve felt my old feelings of crippling fear and anxiety. Sometimes it has been a case of 3 steps forward and 5 steps back. The difference now though is that I am now aware of the reasons behind my behaviours and am able to effectively deal with the anxiety as soon as it arises.\nThrough continued training with CBT and the modules on Learn to Live, these positive coping strategies are starting to become – and will end up – being my normal way of behaving.\nDealing with social anxiety is extremely prohibiting. It can make you feel alienated, alone, and like there’s something wrong with you. In my experience, the worst part was having others think that you were arrogant or rude or disinterested in them, when in fact, the opposite was true!\nSuch behaviours which I used as coping strategies included avoiding eye contact, pretending to not ‘see’ someone as to avoid conversation, covering my mouth while I ate, letting others do the talking in groups, and completely withdrawing from people, to name a few.\nI can never thank Dr. Russ and the team at Learn to Live enough for helping me to realise that social anxiety is not who I am and that essentially, I am in control of how I choose to let this fear dictate me.\nSocial anxiety is not a sign of weakness, moreover it is a heightened sense of awareness of your own thoughts and behaviours in social settings. Once you begin to learn this, it becomes easy to begin changing these negative and prohibiting thoughts and behaviours and to start accepting yourself for who you are and learn to live as the interesting, confident, and fun person you really are! |

This year, the festival gave him an even better opportunity: On April 13, Balvin will become the first reggaetón artist to officially appear on its lineup -- with second-line billing, no less -- in the festival’s two-decade history. It’s one of many milestones in 2019: Coachella also booked Blackpink and Perfume, the first K-pop and J-pop girl groups, respectively, to play the festival. Latin trap superstar Bad Bunny, regional Mexican group Los Tucanes de Tijuana, flamenco-pop artist Rosalía and Chilean singer Mon Laferte round out the lineup. Balvin and Rosalía will also play Chicago’s Lollapalooza, as will Kacey Musgraves, who is the highest-ever-billed country act at New York’s Governors Ball.\nJ Balvin, Blackpink and Drag Queens: Are Festivals More Genre Inclusive Than Ever? |

Sebastião Salgado has created some of the twentieth century’s most iconic photography. From war zones to famine, genocide to exodus, Salgado has documented many of the world’s major events of the last 40 years in crisp black-and-white pictures. He’s also won countless prizes, including being named last week as a Master of Photography at Photo London 2015. I will highly recommend to any photographers out there to read his book as u will find a lot of inspiration and comfort in one of the greatest social documentary photographer and photojournalist in our time.\nI have always tried to show people in all their dignity. In the majority of cases, they are the victims of cruelty, of events. They are photographed at a time in which they have lost their homes, seen their loved ones murdered, sometimes even their own children. For the most part, they are innocent people who do not deserve the misfortunes that have struck them. I took these photos because I thought that everyone needed to know. That is my opinion, but I don’t force anyone to look at them. I am not here to lecture or to set my conscience at rest by arousing feelings of compassion. I took these images because I had a moral, ethical obligation to do so. In such moments of suffering, you may ask, what are morals, what are ethics? It is when I am faced with someone who is dying and I have to decide whether or not to release the shutter of my camera.\nAnything related to Art, Design, Photography and Life. |

New Mexico - We currently have 0 New Mexico vacation homes, condos and villas listed on this page!\nEvery area in the United States has its own special character, a result of the social and historic forces that have shaped it. The southwestern state of New Mexico is no exception. Here, tourists staying in vacation homes in New Mexico can see for themselves the vast influence that Spain and Mexico have had on the development of this area of the nation.\nAll across New Mexico, one of the dominant forms of architecture is the Spanish pueblo style. This involves buildings being constructed of adobe bricks. These bricks, made of dried mud, make up both interior and exterior walls, but the exterior walls of a pueblo house are typically at least a foot thick. Sometimes, they are as much as three feet thick. This provides a heavy layer of insulation to keep the house cool even in the heat of the New Mexican summer. Pueblo houses are covered in stucco and topped with red tile roofs, though because of their weight, some houses are now replacing those roofs with metal ones that look almost exactly the same.\nThe largest cities in New Mexico, including Santa Fe and Albuquerque, have whole neighborhoods designed in this style. Even the McDonald's restaurant in Taos is made of adobe and stucco, a sight that makes many tourists do a double take when they visit this city near Santa Fe, which features a thriving artists' colony. For those who appreciate art, another popular attraction in the state is the Georgia O'Keefe museum in Santa Fe, which presents visitors with a retrospective of her life's work.\nBelow you will find writings from other New Mexico vacation rental owners about the area they know best! It's a great way to learn first hand about the New Mexico region and all that it has to offer! |

The Manhattan collection is crafted from Tasmanian blackwood timbers. For those of you in the know you can attest to the timber's truly brilliant character, it actually comes up quite well in the photos but it's hard to give the timber the justice it deserves. It has lighter and darker streaks of colour running through and is beautifully finished with a satin varnish which allows its natural colour to beam through. In terms of the general quality, build and finish these are excellent and are one of the best quality ranges we stock, the finish in particular is superb. The drawers have metal runners, dovetail joins and the bases have been lined with black felt. Although the drawers don't have racks they will fit cds and dvds standing spine up. The centre shelves are also removable and adjustable making it a perfect option for those with larger hi fi gear. Brand new and will suit extremely fussy buyers. This is part of a decent sized range and we can arrange matching pieces if required. |
The recent merger between Heinz and Kraft foods could have serious ramifications for consumers and producers.\nThe new Kraft Heinz Company would be the third-largest food company in America and the fifth-largest worldwide, with an expected market value of over $80 billion. The merger was coordinated by Heinz owner 3G Capital—a Brazilian private investment group with its fingers already deep in the food and beverage sector—and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.\nThe new Kraft Heinz Company would be the third-largest food company in America and the fifth-largest worldwide, with an expected market value of over $80 billion.\nThis is the second time in as many years that these two firms have worked together on a major food company acquisition. In 2013, 3G and Berkshire orchestrated a hostile takeover of Heinz in a $28 billion deal. Independently, 3G is deeply invested in the fast food sector. In 2010, the group acquired Burger King, which it then merged with Tim Hortons in 2014 to create Restaurant Brands International, now a $23 billion international quick-service restaurant company. 3G also has close ties with Anheuser-Busch InBev, the largest beer brewer in the world and also a Brazilian-owned company. Four founding partners of 3G sit on ABI’s board.\nDeal-makers say that one of the benefits of this merger is huge savings in cost-cutting—“synergy potential,” in industry jargon—to the tune of $1.5 billion. But where will this money come from? Analysts point to economies of scale, but there’s also 3G’s looming history of slicing jobs in the name of greater shareholder profits. After 3G led InBev’s takeover of Anheuser-Busch, it cut 1,400 jobs, mostly in St. Louis. And after its acquisition of Heinz, it slashed 600 jobs around North America. As for Tim Hortons, 350 Canadian workers lost their jobs in January.\nAnd job cuts aren’t the only reason 3G has come under fire for its merger activity. Just last year, the group found itself embroiled in conflict after critics wondered whether its re-location of Restaurant Brands International to Canada was an attempt to evade United States corporate taxes.\nThe alliance of these two giant companies means even further consolidation in a market that is already dominated by a small number of corporate players. We commonly associate these brands with their anchor sectors, over which they have impressive market power: Kraft alone controls 80 percent of packaged macaroni and cheese sales, and Heinz controls 60 percent of ketchup sales. But according to a report from Food & Water Watch, these companies’ influence is felt in many other supermarket aisles. Kraft is among the top four companies producing mayonnaise, salad dressing, pickles, cottage cheese, sour cream, “natural cheese,” bacon, and lunch meat. Heinz is among the top four companies producing meat sauces, pasta sauces, frozen appetizers, and “frozen handheld food.” United, the Kraft Heinz Company would bring in $22.2 billion annually in sales.\nIn recent years, giant retailers like Walmart have learned how to place enormous pressure on distributors and producers to meet a low price point.\nGiven that Kraft and Heinz don’t compete head-to-head on many products, most antitrust experts believe that this merger will be approved by the Federal Trade Commission. Not that the agency has given them much reason to think otherwise in recent years. “The FTC has rubber-stamped a tidal wave of mergers,” Woodall says. In the food sector alone, Shuanghui LLC’s (now WH Group) acquisition of Smithfield Foods and the Sysco/US Foods merger have raised eyebrows among both antitrust analysts and food advocates.\nAnd so monopoly finds a seat at the dinner table. This summer’s barbecues will feature Oscar Meyer hot dogs, Boca burgers, A1 steak sauce, and Heinz ketchup—except now, the buffet of products will all be owned by the same company. |

What is a VIP Experience with Heather? It is MORE than just hearing from passed loved ones! While bringing through the deceased is Heather’s primary talent, this is truly an opportunity for learning, healing, and the possibility of peace and closure between yourself and those in Spirit. It is also an opportunity to hear wisdom from spirit (loved ones, guides, and angels, for example) channeled through Heather to help guide YOUR life, if you wish to ask a question or to toward the end of the session. Heather believes that the healing is in the details. It can be difficult to truly find peace if we are left wondering if it really was our loved one(s) coming through. Heather is fastidious in pulling through evidential details so you have no doubt at all as to the identity of at least one if not more of your spirit people coming through to connect with you. You spend two full hours in a very small group that gives everyone the opportunity to learn heal and even laugh together. There are often common themes in the groups. This is not comparable to a private reading in personal focus, but everyone does receive messages and connections with the other side and Heather.\n(Please understand guarantees cannot be made with spirit work).\nIs there still openings for the Sept 25 small group in Cheyenn WY? |
In order to address what the Cheektowaga Sloan UFSD describes as a "reading problem", a new workshop has been integrated into every single kindergarten through fifth grade classroom.\nThe Lucy Calkin Reading Workshop was introduced last school year, thanks to a $100,000 grant from New York State. After just one year, the district is seeing improvement in students' reading ability.\n"This is the first time in six years, due to this program I can say with confidence, that we didn't send any non-readers from kindergarten to first grade," Jeff Mochrie, principal of Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School, said.\nThe workshop focuses on immersing students with books and developing a love for reading. It involves group lessons in the classroom along with individualized instruction for each student based on his or her own reading level.\nSuperintendent Andrea Galenski says the consistent approach between classes and grade levels is beneficial for students.\n"The common language is there," she said. "Again, students are familiar. It's a comfort level for them. And we just keep building year after year after year."\n"In our district we really emphasize having books in their hands and being immersed in the reading," Carolyn Segal explained. She is the principal of Woodrow Wilson Elementary School.\nIn addition to the $100,000 grant from New York State, the district will receive an additional $75,000 from the state to expand the program and introduce a complementary writing workshop.\n"I think we need to develop an entire generation of lifelong learners and that starts right here in kindergarten," Assemblywoman Monica Wallace said. She helped secure the state funding. "I feel like it is the great leveler. It creates the opportunities for students."\nSo far, the district says students are responding positively to the new approach.\n"The one thing we hear over and over again from the children is we love to read," Jannelle Finn, the district's executive director of curriculum, accountability and professional development, said.\nIn addition to each school's central library, every classroom now has expansive libraries with books geared toward the particular students in those classes. The district is also introducing a reading workshop space where students and teachers will be able to find new books organized by genre and reading level. |
As “The No Surprise Guys”, the only tricks we like happened last month on Halloween. We do Halloween right in Sacramento, and those sorts of surprises can be fun–but most surprises aren’t! That goes double if the surprise comes on a monthly water bill. If your bill gave you a trick recently, there are a few things you can do to fix the situation.\nThe first place to look is where water could be running that you don’t know about. Drips are easy to check for, but they can cost you money big time.1 If your bill is higher than normal, or just higher than you’d like, start checking all your faucets and hose bibs for drips. Shut everything off and see if water still comes out. If it does, it may not be urgent, but it is something you’re paying for. A faucet that drips four times a minute can cost hundreds of gallons a year.\nIf your faucets are all turned off, and don’t seem to be dripping, you can check to see if water is flowing. Go out to your meter and take a look at the red triangle. If it’s moving, that means that water is flowing somewhere between the meter and the house. Go back and double check all the faucets and hose bibs, as well as other water-using devices like washers and water heaters. If you’re sure nothing is using water, but the flow indicator is still moving, you likely have a more serious leak. We’ll get to that in a minute.\nA lot of the time, toilets are a sneaky way to lose water. They’re a special case–they may be leaking and you wouldn’t know. If that’s going on, water slowly flows from the tank to the bowl, and the only symptom might be a higher-than-usual water level in the bowl.You may be able to hear the toilet “running” even if it hasn’t been used recently. We had a client who called about their toilet–which never stopped making noise! We told them that toilets should only make noise when flushed, and they should refill in five minutes or less. They’d been living with a running toilet for years, and footing the cost as well.\nTheirs was an easy fix–they just needed a new rubber flapper, which is what stops the water in the tank from flowing unless the toilet is flushed. A plumber can replace a toilet flapper in a matter of minutes, and it’s a cheap part to replace. Our client was more than pleased when their noisy toilet shut off for the first time in two years.\nAnother sneaky place to look for excess water use is in your washers. Washing machines are often one of the biggest water-using devices in the house, as are dishwashers. If you’ve recently installed a new dishwasher or washing machine, it could be the reason for a higher water bill than in previous months. Make sure you’re following the right directions for these devices and that they aren’t leaking anywhere.\nOf course, replacing old washers with new water-saving models can be a great way to cut down your water bill every month. Even if your current device is running well, you might be surprised how much less water newer washers use than older models. There are even rebate programs available depending on what city or county in the Valley you live in.\nWe briefly mentioned serious leaks. These are more rare than drips or running toilets, but they do happen. It’s possible that despite everything, you won’t find the leak or account for the extra bill cost. These likely mean that there’s a leak between your meter and your house, or somewhere else underground. If it’s under your lawn or in your yard there may be symptoms, such as “soft” spots or muddy areas outside.\nIf the leak is in your house you’ll likely know about it. More than one crawlspace has been filled with water from a freeze-break or deviated pipe. You may hear the sound of water running somewhere in the house, but again you may not. The same is true for water lines in the walls or ceiling. Perhaps the best way to notice a major leak of any kind is a drastic increase in your water bill from one month to the next that you can’t explain any other way.\nIf you experience any of these signs, call a plumber immediately. Serious leaks are just that–serious. No matter where it is, from the house to the crawlspace to the yard, major water damage can occur. This damage could also become structural–especially if there’s water pooling underneath the concrete slab on which your house is built! The benefits to catching this early are major. You’re saving your home, your money, and you’re saving water for the drought-ridden state. So give us a call. Because whether your leak is minor or major, Bell Brothers can help. |

This Saturday we will turn our focus onto some beautiful Alsatian wines. The wines of Alsace are among the most aromatic in the world, and also some of the most food driven wines made. These are wines that wine geeks and wine professionals often swoon over, but don't always translate to the everyday wine drinker. Alsatian wines such as these are some of our favorites for this time of year, as their weightier style and richness make for a wonderful transition wine from the dense reds many of us drink in Winter, leading towards the crisp, zesty whites that are so delicious in the Summer. We will focus, as the Alsatians do, mostly on the white wines of the region, but we have included one beautiful Pinot Noir, the one red wine Alsace is known for along with their incredible whites. We've also included two superstar wines that we wouldn't often get to taste, but wanted to go all out for this event - but be forewarned, these are limited supply and when they are gone, they will truly be gone! Our good friend Greg Pfaender of Empire Distirbutors will be pouring and educating, so you don't want to miss out on this one! |

I was talking to a friend who's about a decade older than I am. I don't remember exactly what prompted the subject, but I think the context was a discussion of fear. He said, "When I was a kid, we did 'duck and cover" drills in school."\nI thought about it for a minute before responding. "We never did drills. I think we knew there was no point. If someone decided to push the button, we were just all going to die. Nothing we could do about it."\nI wanted to laugh, but it would have been the wrong kind of laughter, and any kind of laughter at all was not what I wanted to be doing with Japanese tourists (no, really) in the museum. So I stopped a little past the diorama and turned to my husband and the friend taking the tour with us. We're all the same age group for this sort of thing. I told them about the months-old conversation.\nThey nodded. My husband said, "I checked on a map recently. We're not too bad off where we are now."\nI looked at him. "If it were just one bomb, one warhead."\nAnother nod and a sour face. "Yeah."\nThe operable phrase when I was in school was "mutually assured destruction." Scads of nuclear weapons as a security blanket. I suppose it's not surprising we found that sort of comfort rather cold. Hey, there's this guy who calls ketchup a vegetable and names his best hope of defense against a nuclear attack after a fantasy with space trappings and on and on and on. We're supposed to trust him to understand the full consequences of his actions. Oh. Yay.\nThe first day of ninth grade social studies class, American government, my teacher announced to the class that it would be run as a democracy. No, he couldn't tell us how that was going to work because we were going to decide that. No, he couldn't even tell us the scope of the decisions we'd be making as we voted.\nI don't do pass/fail scenarios with open-ended expectations.\nI think he thought it was cute when I turned in my chair to face the wall. A protest! Ooh! Yay, democracy! I don't think it stayed cute for more than a couple of days, but cute wasn't my point. If I wasn't allowed to transfer into the other "advanced" civics class (the school cut us off after one or two people), he could find out how much of a pain democracy could be. Then he, I, and the school could decide what that was worth for a grade.\nVery shortly after the year started, all of the ninth-grade classes participated in a nuclear simulation at the same time. Our class split up into nations. Each nation got a set of scenarios: pressure on the borders, powerful foes--internal and external--posed to pounce on any misstep. As a nation, each group decided on their response: pacific, aggressive, or something in between.\nThe one lesson I'll never forget from that class, however, is how easy it is to convince ourselves that we don't have any other "real" options. That could be because I've never stopped hearing that as a justification for political decisions, particularly for decisions I wouldn't have made.\nI don't know what difference it made to me or my generation to know it was out of our hands whether we lived or died. It would be easy to claim that the materialism of Generation X stems from nuclear nihilism, but we were too young to set the tone of the 80s. It wasn't people my age buying DeLoreans, Rolexes, and coke in bulk.\nI don't know that we even had the words to talk about it among ourselves before the situation became less stark. We don't talk about it now. Talking about our teenage years means talking about social pressures and pop culture. For all I know, it wasn't that big a deal to anyone else.\nExcept for that long, quiet trip through a museum and two instant nods. Those tell me I didn't live through that alone.\nMy roommates in the mid-late 80's and I often played a board game called Pente. In a 3-person game, there was a situation we called "mutually assured destruction." If one person B didn't do anything to counter person A's move, person C would allow person A to win in protest against having their move forced.\nI recall that we often discussed questions about nuclear war, ethics, death, happiness, etc. Were we such an odd bunch? I guess not.\nI remember my parents telling me that as kids they didn't really think the "duck and cover" strategy would protect them very well - it was just something to do as an alternative to panicking. It probably would be helpful to people who lived a number of miles away from the closest blasts, where the greatest immediate threat was flying debris.\nThe weird thing about Reagan is that people saw him as the president most likely to start a nuclear war, but in reality he loathed nuclear weapons and was terrified by the prospect of nuclear war. Some of his aides were convinced he would not launch nuclear weapons even if the USA was attacked first. The whole "Star Wars" thing was misguided because the technology didn't exist to make it work (it still doesn't), but his support of it seems to have come from a desperate desire to have something other than Mutual Assured Destruction to rely on.\nThe other thing we all "knew" in those days was which bits of landscape in our area were "known" to be primary targets. For me, it was the Watervleit Arsenal to the north, the Selkirk Train Yards and the Power Plant to the south, and the State Office Campuses, one to the east and one to the west. We was surrounded!\nPeople of my generation and background experienced the flash. If you know what that is, then you know what that is. It was actually pretty horrible. |

This is a real simple project to get started on. Partly inspired from Alasdair Allan‘s work in the book Distributed Network Data. While the book concentrates on Adrunio I’m also interested in sensors from the Raspberry Pi side of things because the likes of storage and network is already there.\nSo, what I’m aiming to do is to wire up a basic passive infrared (PIR) motion detector to the Pi and with Python have it tell us when movement is detected. That’s easy enough. Broadcasting to the world, easy enough but I’m not really sure that all of Twitter really needs to know when there’s movement detected in your house, it’s the first step to being unfollowed.\nTo make this useful though I’ll make it send an SMS message direct to the phone instead. Then I’ll know when I’m being broken in to.\nPin 2 – 5v is connected to the red rail of the breadboard.\nPin 6 – Gnd is connected to the black rail of the breadboard.\nPin 26 – GPIO 7 is connected to my row 30/a of the breadboard.\nThe PIR motion sensor is connected very similar with the 5v going to the red rail, Gnd going to the black rail and the output pin (to trigger motion) is connected to 30/f on the breadboard (the same line as the GPIO7 pin from the Pi.\nAs hardware goes, we’re done. The rest is software.\nThe basic code has been based on the work that Matt Hawkins has done, no point reinventing the wheel on this one. Using the RPi.GPIO library in Python he gets the basic PIR sensor talking to the Pi.\nYou can see Matt’s original blog post here.\nFirstly I’ve added a method that will send a text message to the TextLocal service. What we want to do is send an SMS message to a predefined number when the motion sensor is triggered.\nBasically the sendSMS method expects the arguments of username, password, recipient number, sender’s number and the message you want to send. This is then sent as a URL POST request to the textlocal.com server. You’ll need an account and credits setup first before you can try this out. Remember that SMS costs money.\nYou’ll need to run this as the root user so Python can access the GPIO pins.\nI’ve stayed silent for too long, I don’t think I can actually take much more. While I find the informative and nigh on daily go-to site of “Arlene Foster Holding Things” it does graphically show what’s wrong with PR photos in Northern Ireland, they are boring as ****.\nA quick look at SyncNI and it’s ream upon ream of folk staring at camera while holding an iPad/Bit(s) of cardboard or worse still, Polystyrene letters. As the first port of call it shows a complete lack of creativity and this is projected out to the world (and yes I mean the world, this is the internet after all).\nNow I understand the photographer’s need to be in and out in fifteen minutes and the pay scale is rubbish but there seriously needs some imagination from the organisation who’s getting photographed, the photographer and the marketing company. I’ll go as far as saying that there aren’t many that can do it well. It’s a rare talent to tell a cohesive story through a photograph. NI creatives, is copy/story/photograph well it’s time to your games.\nSo companies, have a really good think about the message you want to convey. The photographer is there to take photograph and not to be your marketing and creative department.\nAnd photographers, the straight in and straight out photograph no longer applies. You’re only letting yourselves down shooting on program mode with no thought for light.\nGive me narrative, give me a story and a picture to remember….. here’s your starter for 10. Go study Wired.\nThe concept of Kickstarter isn’t new and I’m happy to say that it’s launched thousands of dreams and probably deflated a few as well. As with these sorts of things it got me thinking about what makes stuff fundable in this sort of realm. Especially when it comes to Northern Ireland projects because that’s where I am.\nMore so what got me thinking was seeing the pitch for the Sugar Supper Club in Newry. A brilliant idea and one that I’d love to see funded but it got me thinking some very fundamental questions.\nWhere are your potential customers/backers?\nFor bricks and mortar stores, restaurants and anything that requires footfall then this is the first obvious question. And I wonder if it’s the reason this sort of thing struggles to get funded. Theatre productions fall foul on this point as well. We need to work on the theory that a percentage of the local population will fund and dine.\nNewry’s population was as of 2010 27,575 and this becomes important when we start talking percentages of population who will back. I’m starting with 2% as a figure so that’s 515 people would could potentially back this project. This doesn’t count people out of town, people who like to fund projects for their own happiness regardless if they ever go to the end product or now. These things can’t be discounted but with a bricks and mortar project it’s probably unlikely because…..\nA gadget usually does well, just look at the 3D Doodler Pen or the Pebble Watch. Products do well if they fulfil a need. And with worldwide shipping for the initial project then the audience is wide open compared to a bricks and mortar project, therefore the probability of successful funding is raised.\nHow much is to be raised?\nToo little and it might look like a credible product, too much and many won’t take the risk. I want to get more data on this but I get the sneaking suspicion that projects looking for less than £/$10,000 seem to make the grade in having a good chance of being funded.\nOkay it’s my rule but I think it’s valid. 65% of the funding has to be raised in 35% of the time of the funding period.\nSo 65% of £12,500 is £8125. The question is can it be raised in ten and a half days. The rest is a long tail and also a psychological ticker on potential backers from that point on. “If they’ve put money against it so quick it must be good”. The first 35% is when the hard hitting marketing has to be done (Facebook, Twitter, begging letters and all that jazz).\nAfter that it’s common sense. Is the project owner in that sector? Do they have a decent track record? Have any other projects been funded and completed.\nI’m off to have a look at some data, have a play and come up with a barebones algorithm. In the meantime go and fund the Sugar Supper Club, the food looks lovely.\nPi, Bluetooth, R and Twitter…. gotta be fun in here somewhere.\nYup I found it. Scan and tell who’s discoverable. No use whatsoever to the outside world (that I’m aware of) but the basis of some funky retail marketing startup who think Bluetooth might be the way forward.\nFirst of all if you haven’t got a Bluetooth dongle get yourselves to Tesco and buy their little Technik nano bluetooth dongle for a fiver. Works a treat.\nHave a couple of games of Mario Kart or make a drink while it installs. Could take a while.\nIf you were reading the Pi Twitter Sentiment Server posts then you’ll have all this set up. If not you can read it here. One thing you need to do is make sure your Twitter developer app can read/write to Twitter.\nAnd it will produce a list of the MAC address and the name of the device.\nWe can run within R….\nThe strsplit command will give you a two dimensional vector with three elements: space, MAC address and the discoverable name. So [] means give me value of the second row and third column of the vector.\nPlenty of scope from here to save the MAC addresses to a datastore so the same names don’t keep appearing everytime the scan happens. Also if you read back on previous posts you’ll see it’s easy to knock up a cron job to run this every ten minutes or so.\nIt looks like the hcitool caches the scan for at least 30 seconds so there’s no use pounding the scanning for new devices for any duration less than that.\nRandom samples from R data frames.\nThere are times you just have too much data, random samples are nice to test assumptions and algorithms first.\nSo in R you can create a function to return a random sample of a data frame for such emergencies.\n(40 being the number of rows you want in your sample).\nThis is my dear friend Frankie. He’s not a data scientist (that I’m aware of), nor is he a programmer (that I’m aware of) but looking back over the years this is the man who taught me the art of prediction with data.\nWe worked together in a record shop and his knowledge is encyclopaedic. Anyone who has visited the Eleanor Arms will see from the CD collection for the Minestrone Of Sound. So from late 1991 – 1995 I learned the art of working in a record shop. Key objective, don’t get lumped with stock you’ll never sell especially when it with CD singles.\nKnowledge takes time but you can monitor and sense what’s going on in a Nate Silver kinda way, if you can see the patterns of the past that sort of gives you a sense for the next week, two weeks at a push. It’s not rocket science.\nEach CD had a card and it listed the date and quantity of that product that came in. From that card, watching shoppers and generally sense what was playing on the radio (and the record company reps coming in) we built up the order. This vital data drives your order, to few and customers will go elsewhere and buy, too many and you’re left with an overstock when the record dips out of the top ten. Once a record dives, it dives quick. Remember we weren’t dealing with computers or multiple POS reporting. This was all done by hand with a large doses of head, heart and gut reaction.\nHe also taught me how to tune the shopping area to the type of customer who was in. Slap a Daniel O’Donnell CD when you see a bus tour past, it does not fail. Stick it a on video wall and it was one of the most strangest sights I’ve ever seen.\nLike cinema there were numerous new products coming out every week so what to choose, what to get a couple of and what to ignore is truly an art.\nFrankie taught me and I learned the hard way but he was gracious enough to give room to make the odd mistake. Fact of life it’s going to happen. The long hours during Christmas, the odd customers, I’m still asked to recall stories of working in a record shop, I loved it.\nHe also introduced me to the music of Curtis Magee….. but I think that’s another story for another day.\nBig data, small Data, it’s all data.\nWhen we think of Hadoop we think of huge clusters of machines, in a data centre somewhere dimming the lights of the cities they reside in, meanwhile data is being consumed, mined with the hope one day that sense will come out of it.\nTake a look at your desk….\nNow take a look at your desk, now I can’t vouch for everyone but I’m going to take a rough guess, there’s a phone or two. Perhaps a tablet, a Kindle maybes even a Raspberry Pi.\nEverything that’s connected is a node. Every device has some form of identification therefore it can be registered against a service of some form to know that it’s state is either idle or doing something. I’m thinking about all that time the Nexus S is sat on my desk doing nothing when it could be doing something useful, processing data.\nAndroid being a good candidate for downtime processing as it can handle background tasks pretty well.\nWhat if I said there IS a cure for……?\nWe’ve just not found it yet. Harking back to screensaver programs of old that did computations during the idle times (yes it has been done before), why not have the idle device work in the background pulling, processing and returning results back to a central server? Registered devices get paid for processing the data.\nThink about it, a medical research firm could leave data with the main system and in turn farms out small segments of data for processing on connected and idle devices. Makes perfect sense to me considering that devices sit on our desks a lot of time on charge, while you’re asleep or working at your desk. Moore’s Law gives us the knowledge and foresight to know the power that these devices will have in the future.\nHadoop in your pocket is not far off (hopefully someone will port to iOS at some point, it has to be done).\nIt doesn’t really matter whether the data is big or small, while marketers will push the Big Data paradigm and how many billions it will potentially generate by 2017 or whatever there’s still a small matter of what can be done now.\nMap/Reduce does have a significant role to play in processing health data in my opinion. But I also think there’s a plethora of devices not used to their full potential that, with the right code, just be able to do the job and send the results back.\nI’m finding R more and more useful for just dragging data out of things. RSS data is a touchy subject with some, I still use it a lot and built Curatic to get me the stories I want to read, not lists of stories I don’t. Anyway, that’s not the point of this post.\nR and XPath, good friends. Pull and RSS feed and get the titles, descriptions and the publication dates quickly. |

Starting and running a business is a difficult task especially for small businesses with a limited budget. A year into the startup can determine if your business is thriving or barely surviving. The current business start-up statistics indicate that 80 percent of new businesses shut down within a year. Though, this might be demoralizing and probably throwing you off a bit, it is extremely important to understand why this happens.\nMost multinational companies and franchises you know worldwide started off as nothing but an idea which evolved into a plan or strategy which was effectively executed. When you kick start your business, it is important to exploit the most budget friendly and safe channels of execution which would count as your affordable loss. During the first stage of your strategy execution, you would begin to see the signs of your progress. Keep in mind that these signs might also be of failure which you should be brave enough to expect and bold enough to change.\nFor a business owner, there isn’t a better feeling in the world than your first customer paying for your product or service. It marks the end of the very first step into your business which gets you pumped up for more. However, two customers are better than one so after enjoying your first victory, get back to the planning table and analyze, collect feedback and improve your strategy.\nIf you are good at what you do and provide quality service or products to your customers, they would definitely tell others about you. Referrals lead to a recursion of business permutations or in simple words, one leads to two, two lead to four and so on. Moreover, customers doing it on their own makes your business good but your business driving them to refer your product or service makes your business smart. Many startups use beneficial incentives to get more customers from existing customers and even employees. Today, many top companies offer discounts, gifts and other offers to customers and employees who act as ambassadors of your business.\nWhen customers who you do not know start buying your product or using your service without any contact or referral, it is one of the biggest victories during your business expansion. The idea that someone uses your service or product without any prior knowledge proves that you are on the right track.\nYour business strategy can make you millions. Happy and dedicated employees can turn that million into a billion. Employees who treat your business as their own can bring about the success you never imagined so it is very important to groom, motivate, reward and involve them in your strategies as much as you can. Employees serve as primary ambassadors if they know that their creativity, hard work and task execution would result to praise and career growth. No employee wants to remain where they started off so if your employee management strategy is as important as your business strategy.\nIn this digital age, marketing channels have evolved so it is important to keep up with everyday trends and development. If your business is on the first page of Google and search results, then you know that you’re headed in the right direction. Social media, SEO and content marketing is one of the cheapest ways to let prospects know about your business. Statistics indicate that over 60 percent of customers visit pages from the first page of search results.\nA stable business is one for all seasons. Companies who maintain their presence and execute consistent sales or service in the market are more likely to succeed than those who are dependent on variable factors like time, demographics, seasons and trends. It’s all about how you present your business and the importance of your products in the daily lives of your customers. Furthermore, another sign that your business is successful is that you’re on vacation and it is still making money.\nCommunication in most cases is the leading cause to a business’s success or failure. Effective and real-time communication at a manageable cost is what all companies aim for to reach out to their customers and even exchange information within the workplace. They use different channels like calls, emails and bulk SMS to constantly update, notify and promote their services. |

Sonic's motto might be "Gotta Go Fast," but this is probably not what he means when he says that.\nThis includes being able to skip entire portions of the game—even parts of the final boss fight.

As our technology gets smarter, subtly blending into our everyday lives, good design has never been more important. Design is critical in determining how we experience a product or service, but an often overlooked and undervalued part of any design experience is sound, and specifically UI sound. From a simple keyclick to a warning notification, UI sound design has become a key factor in how we interact with modern-day technology. It’s a specialist craft, that if done well, can help to inspire the overall design, improve usability and user experience, and strengthen a brand.\nDuring my talk, I’ll highlight a clearly defined set of principles for successful UI sound design, whilst championing the case for bringing UI sound design deeper into the design process. I will also discuss the delicate relationship between UI sound design and audio branding, and how we, as sound design practitioners and marketers, can embrace the challenges ahead as our world becomes more dependable on UI sound.\nWant to know more about UI sound design?

Trap points are provided where goods trains and vehicles could run away and get onto passenger running lines. They are not usually provided where passenger lines interconnect. The intention is to stop the runaway vehicle before it can foul the running line.\nTrap points are often implemented using catch points rather than a full turnout and spur or sand drag. Catch points may derail the vehicle and damage the track, but that is far preferable to a collision.\nCreating a set of catch points in Templot means shortening a turnout template to contain only the switch part. You can do that manually using the F4 mouse action, or click the [ do > snap to catch points ] menu item. Usually you would use a short switch to save space, such as an REA size "A" switch. |
I rather claimed victory over my water-borne community since being a wee lad who plod the shores of the Corrotoman River. To a lessor degree have I rambled about the Rappahannock. The Chesapeake Bay was too far offshore for my dad. Early on, my boat even had limits of how far from the dock I could venture.\nThough there are vast other bodies of water familiar to you, dear reader, my parameters were set long ago. Many times, have I mentioned coming home—that’s crossing the Robert O. Norris Jr. Memorial Bridge or the Tom Downing bridges, and swinging off Route 3 onto Route 354. Ah, home, I really can’t explain it. It is not an idea as much as a feeling. No matter the current stress level, when my windshield allows me that first glimpse of the Corrotoman a healing process begins. Lately that “homeness” rallies at the Norris Bridge, then strengthens at the left turn traffic light in downtown White Stone.\nOur little boy moved here years ago; the pastor of Coan Church. Did I tell you how proud I am of him, of them? Well that’s another story, eh?\nAnyway, one Sunday long past and after church Lee and I hooked onto Miss Hazel’s boat and tugged it to foreign waters. Hazel was inspecting a wounded knee cadet at Fork Union Military Academy.\nLee first lived in a charming place, with a wide view of the Glebe, just off the Potomac and Coan rivers. His neighbors were Royall (Bill and Myrtle). I must admit I felt sort of traitorous, almost guilty, to confess liking that area. We launched HRHQH—named for my personal banker: Her Royal Highness Queen Hazel—from the concrete ramp at the little Farmer’s abode and tested the waters nibbling the Glebe, while my daughter-in-law rallied a bit to rustle up a picnic basket for hungry navigators. Back to the dock we went to fetch the pretty girl and the basket of goodies. Then, we were offshore for sure.\nLee and I began to spot landmarks, tree lines and capture buoy numbers. After some exploration of the Coan we tested the waves of the mighty Potomac. I felt as if I were Columbus reincarnated. What a rush to push out into new waters, albeit it foreign. We trolled past Lewisetta and pushed the bow port-side and headed toward Washington.\nFor our first time outside personal waters, we mutually decided that Kinsale was good enough for dockage, tankage and since the picnic basket held munchies we longed for real food. We dallied about looking at the boats docked at Olverson’s Marina then pulled back and went port-side again into Kinsale. I told my son and family about the late Mr. Crowther and how and why he had moved his Ford business from Kinsale to Kilmarnock following the roads; as water traffic waned decades prior. We tied alongside the marina, trudged up the lawn and claimed a table with a water view. As new discoverers, we partook of prayers and food. Outside, dusk pulled the covers. Lights popped on. Night whispered.\nI noticed a tenderness in my daughter-in-law, who’s just a tad less adventurous than either one of the Farmer boys. The then teen Laura Farmer’s world was so wrapped ‘round her mom and dad—she had no fear or trepidation.\nSoon we slipped the lines and ventured out into the Potomac once more. Passing this and that buoy we recognized the foreign water enough to feel comfortable to steer starboard, hopefully far enough offshore to dodge crab pots and to avoid fish nets and oyster stakes.\nIt had been a beautiful day, the air crisp. The sun bore down; but not so as to be oppressive. Dull fall colors began to drape the shore. We were enthralled with the collection of new sights and sounds, which we were memorizing about foreign waters. Then the fog set in.\nI stood from behind the windshield and held tight to the wheel using hand signals to inform Lee of speed changes. We continued down river. I listened some to the conversation below, while sailing with a bone in my teeth. Ah! It doesn’t get any better.\nBehind me waved the sun; amber hues touching both sea and shore. The path which we unzipped in the river, glowed. Ahead lay dark. Just like clockwork, we passed inventoried buoys and slowed to make port. Welcomed by the lights of Lewisetta we leaned to starboard and soon recognized the tree line and calling of home as we came into the Glebe. Very thankful for safe passage and a fun trip, we dropped landlines onto the dock and were voraciously welcomed by a herd of mosquitoes. A mere inconvenience, when you consider safe harbor.\nThe day reminded me of my faith and of life’s best chart—my Bible. My day began with church and ended with a sunset on foreign waters. Life, just like the journey of the day, is navigable when you know the tree line, shoreline and buoys. All the beacons are there. All the landmarks divine. Read the book. Fall in love with its heroes. Let it give you direction to safe harbor. It will. I promise. |

Scientists have discovered that bacteria communicate with each other in a way, similar to that of nerve cells in the human brain.\nSee, even bacteria can “talk”!\nThe bugs “talk” by means of sending electrical signals in and out of their bodies by gate-keeper “ion channel” proteins. Researchers in the US conducted an experiment that showed how a colony of bacteria acted in a coordinated fashion when it reached to a certain size.\nMicrobes at the outer edge of the “biofilm” colony consisting of hundreds of thousands of bugs had unrestricted access to nutrients while those at the core were at risk of going hungry. So, to overcome this problem, the outlying bacteria periodically stopped growing to allow nutrients to flow to the core. In return, this will allow the bacteria in at the core of the biofilm to survive attacks by chemicals and antibiotics.\nThe discovery, reported in the journal Nature, alters the way we think not only about bacteria but also about the brain, said Dr Suel.\nAll of our senses, behaviour and intelligence emerge from electrical communications among neurons in the brain mediated by ion channels. Now we find that bacteria use similar ion channels to communicate and resolve metabolic stress. Our discovery suggests that neurological disorders that are triggered by metabolic stress may have ancient bacterial origins, and could thus provide a new perspective on how to treat such conditions,” he explained.\nThe mechanism the bacteria used was surprisingly similar to a process in the human brain known as “cortical spreading depression” which is linked to migraines and epileptic seizures.\nWhat’s interesting is that both migraines and the electrical signalling in bacteria we discovered are triggered by metabolic stress. This suggests that many drugs originally developed for epilepsy and migraines may also be effective in attacking bacterial biofilms, which have become a growing health problem around the world because of their resistance to antibiotics,” said Dr Suel.\nWhy Do We Keep On Dreaming About Being Naked? |

Congratulations to UTL researcher and MDesS '15 candidate Chris Bennett, whose animation on the extended urbanization of the atmosphere was recently featured in a news story by the Atlantic's CITYLAB. This work was produced in the context of the UTL Spring 2014 research seminar on the "extreme territories of urbanization." Consistent with our general concern to analyze the dialectics of concentrated and extended urbanization, Chris' video depicts the ways in which the occupation of the earth's atmosphere has involved the construction of highly elaborate, spatially concentrated terrestrial infrastructures to facilitate satellite launches. With a stunning series of data visualizations, the video reveals the historical geographies of launch site activity during the last four decades in relation to each key orbital zone. Nice work, Chris! |

For families, know there is no pool or room service. The hotel is fairly basic but clean and well-staffed.

Although nearly beachside, there are no rooms with a view (at least on floor 4).\nThe view was amazing and they provided microwaves and refridgerators in the rooms. Unfortunately, the AC didn't work in my room so I had to move rooms. Then the elevator broke, and they only had one for the entire hotel, so I had to carry my luggage from my 8th floor room to the lobby when I left. Also, there was no room service or food vending machines, so I had to go to a convenience store a block away. |

Lately Henry has started seeming...bigger. He has his likes and his dislikes and he is very clear on the difference. He has started cruising and will walk all over the house as long as we are holding his hands. When we carry him around, he sometimes gets aggravated and fights to get down...not that he can really go anywhere on his own, but he wants to TRY. He is strong willed and independent, but at the same time so very loving and sweet. He has started putting his head on our shoulder or his forehead against ours when he wants to say he loves us. He loves being tickled and to laugh. Now, instead of us working to get him interested in these games that tickle him, he will start them on his own. Grabbing our hand or hiding his eyes to start the games that he enjoys so.\nHe is just...changing. Changing into a tiny little person with opinions and feelings. It is all amazing...amazing and a little heart breaking to watch as my sweet baby grows a little more into a big boy every single day.\nOh how he loves his Papa.

Health can be regarded as the state of the normal functioning of the structures of the body. It can be difficult for us to do our daily chores when our body is unhealthy. There are many things that can deteriorate the health of our body. Our lifestyle can largely contribute to damaging the health of the body. Lifestyle pertains to all things we carry out to maintain our life. Examples of things that take our lifestyle are foods, drinks, and behaviors. Expect the foods we take daily for an instance to contribute to the health problems of the body. Malnutrition diseases are for an example known to come through taking unbalanced diet. Examples of malnutrition diseases are kwashiorkor and marasmus. It is known for some of the behaviors to bring bad effects to the general health of the body. One of the human behaviors that is harmful to the health is smoking. Smoking tobacco affects the breathing system. What make up the breathing system are the nose, windpipes, and lungs.\nTobacco is known to have a chemical by the name nicotine. Nicotine, when burned, gives out tar and carbon monoxide which have harmful effects on the breathing system. We have heart diseases and lung cancer as examples of diseases that come through smoking. People who smoke usually die to such kind of diseases. It is known for smokers to find it challenging to quit from their habit. Tobacco addicts can stop their bad habit through medication and artificial cigars. Smokers are known to love taking electronic cigarettes as compared to tobacco medication. There are several advantages of electronic cigarettes. One cannot spend a lot by using electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigars make smokers to quit their bad behavior thus cutting short the expense of tobacco daily. Some smokers can even steal due to lack of finance for buying cigars. One cannot use tobacco medication while using electronic cigarettes. It is likely for some tobacco medicines to bring side effects to users.\nThere are no side effects by using e-liquid. It is most likely for real smokers who try to quit from their bad habit to suffer from things such as a headache, lack of appetite, nausea, and irritation. It is known for electronic cigars to maintain the general health of the body. It is known for nicotine found in e-liquid to lack the harmful carbon monoxide and tar. It is socially agreeable to use electronic cigars in public. Electronic cigars do not have a bad smell as compared to real cigars. Electronic cigars are found everywhere. One can get electronic cigars from health facilities or retail shops. |
University students may study linguistics in either an undergraduate program, to obtain a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree (depending on the educational institution), or in a graduate program, to obtain a Master of Arts degree or a Ph.D. University students seeking a Bachelor’s Degree in another field may also pursue the field of Linguistics as a minor. Majors or minors in Linguistics “will complete a range of courses that both introduce the field and provide focused study in such areas as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisition, and sociolinguistics (Cal. State University Northridge, 2011).\nDissimilar to a degree in something like accounting where the career path is fairly straightforward, Linguistics majors have a variety of different career paths that they may take. These career paths are dependent of the type of degree an individual has acquired but may include employment as an English as a Second Language Teacher (ESL), University professor, language translator or interpreter, foreign language teacher, journalist, technical writer, language consultant, publisher, employment in the computer industry, employment in an advertising agency, or employment with a government agency.

In another topsy-turvy season opener, we ended up on the right side of a 4-3 scoreline this year as we put Leicester to the sword after coming from behind twice, and snatching a late equaliser and subsequent winner through Aaron Ramsey and Oli G respectively.\nAlexandre Lacazette got us off to a flyer after just 94 seconds, heading home from a decent cross from Elneny before Leicester drew level just moments later, then took the lead in an entertaining first half. As it looked like we’d go in at the break 2-1 down, Danny Welbeck popped up to bundle in a loose ball from a goalmouth scramble to level the score at 2-2 on the stroke of half time.\nShowing we’d not learned any lessons from the first half, Leicester went ahead again after Vardy was left unmarked (nice one) from a corner, and then just when things looked to be slipping away, the boys rallied round to produce an enthralling late show to take all three points and take us top of the league.\nAaron Ramsey scored our third after an amazing assist from Xhaka on 82 minutes before supersub Olivier Giroud’s now customary bullet header won the game with just 5 minutes to go.\nChelsea lost (at home to Burnley!) this weekend and Liverpool drew away with Watford, while Man City, Man United and Tottenh*m all won, so all in all, as much as we could have asked for on the opening day of the season.\nWelcome back football, Stoke away next, fingers crossed we can get Alexis Sanchez fit for that one, with Koscielny still missing let’s hope AW can address our defensive frailties, namely conceding goals from corners and crosses.\n« Previous Article Is age a concern for Arsenal this season? |
It's hard to nail down the classics. The differences can be subtle, and the research can take you far and wide. The picture above illustrates that fact. That's me researching the daiquiri. When you order one, you never know what you're going to get. The key to a simple classic like this is getting the proportions just right.\nField work is one thing, but I've been reading up on the various versions of this classic.\nExcept for that bit at the end about the grenadine, this is quite a standard recipe. It's quite similar to what you'd find today in Wondrich's Esquire Drinks or Gary Regan's Joy of Mixology. If you do add the grenadine, I think it stops being a Daiquiri and becomes a Bacardi Cocktail, Country Club Style (see Bullock's Ideal Bartender over at slakethirst).\nAnd just to muddle things (so to speak) Embury mentions a Daiquiri Grenadine which he says goes by the name Santiago, but which we would call a Bacardi Cocktail.\nAnd that is quite similar to what I'm making as my standard, except that I'm shaking it hard and serving it up in a cocktail glass.\n3/4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice.\nShake hard over ice. No garnish. No grenadine.\nI'd like to hear what other people are using as their "standard" Daiquiri.\n*This book is so good and important, I think it deserves an acronym. Note it also can stand for Very Special Effing Cocktailbook.\nBacardi, much to the disgust of astute practitioners of the compounding art.\ngrenadine is added, the Bacardi becomes a Santiago" |
It said crunch talks over the weekend aimed at driving down debt and shoring up its balance sheet had failed to result in the “short term financial support” it needed to continue trading while a deal was reached.\nIt was among companies awarded £6.6bn in contracts by the government to build the new high-speed HS2 railway between London and Birmingham in July.\nUnions are calling for urgent reassurances over the jobs, pay and pensions of thousands of workers following the “disastrous” news. Officials from several unions representing workers on the railways, construction sites, prisons, hospitals and schools are seeking information from the company and ministers.\nRail, Maritime and Transport union general secretary Mick Cash said: “This is disastrous news for the workforce and disastrous news for transport and public services in Britain.\n“RMT will be demanding urgent meetings with Network Rail and the train companies today with the objective of protecting our members jobs and pensions.\n“Over recent months huge efforts have been made to restructure Carillion to deliver its sustainable future.\n“Public services, vast amounts of public money, thousands of jobs - including in a lengthy supply chain of insecure agency workers who are also at risk - and workers’ hard-saved pensions are all in danger of being dragged under by yet another bout of reckless corporate irresponsibility.\nIn November last year Carillion announced it had been awarded two contracts on Network Rail’s Midland Mainline improvement programme, including one to upgrade the existing track and infrastructure from London to Corby.\nNetwork Rail said in a statement: “Network Rail is activating its contingency plans as a result of this unfortunate news.\n“Passengers can be reassured that their services will be running as normal today as Carillion’s work for Network Rail does not involve the day-to-day running of the railway.\n“We will be working closely with the administrators and Carillion’s management team to ensure projects that they are working on continue and that the supply chain is maintained for this important work.\nCarillion is understood to have public sector or public/private partnership contracts worth £1.7 billion, including providing school dinners, cleaning and catering at NHS hospitals, construction work on rail projects such as HS2 and maintaining 50,000 army base homes for the Ministry of Defence.\nIn the UK some of its projects have included the Royal Opera House, the Channel Tunnel, Tate Modern, the Library of Birmingham and the famous doughnut building of the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). |

When it comes to rehabilitating the plumbing pipes of your Chicago commercial or multi-unit residential building without damaging your drywall, expensive finishes or ceilings, epoxy pipe lining is a viable, affordable solution that can fix pinhole leaks and cracks and prevent further pipe corrosion. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation on the Internet about epoxy pipe coating.\nMYTH: The lining process can damage your plumbing pipes.\nFACT: Not all pipes are good candidates for the pipe lining process.\nBefore your plumbing pipes are lined, a plumbing pipe assessment should be performed. These assessments involve using a small digital camera on a flexible tubing that is connected to a small monitor and a recording device. The camera is threaded through your plumbing pipes, and the images are transmitted to the monitor. This allows the pipe lining technician to view your plumbing pipes in real time to determine the levels of corrosion, find any cracks or missing sections of pipe and make an informed decision about whether or not your pipes would benefit from epoxy pipe lining. A professional pipe lining technician should never recommend pipe lining for pipes with extremely thin walls or with severe corrosion. Instead, the technician should recommend a combination approach that involves lining some pipes and completely replacing the pipes that cannot be lined.\nMYTH: It is impossible to tell how well the epoxy pipe liner adhered to the host pipe.\nFACT: A post-installation camera inspection can tell you how well the pipe liner adhered to the pipe.\nAfter your pipes are lined with an epoxy pipe liner and the appropriate amount of cure time has elapsed, a second camera inspection should be performed. This camera inspection is designed to locate any abnormalities or errors in the pipe liner before the pipes are restored to service. If any abnormalities are found, they should be immediately repaired at no cost to the client.\nMYTH: Leaks in failed epoxy pipe liners cannot be fixed.\nFACT: If an epoxy pipe liner fails due to improper installation, in many cases, it can be repaired.\nPipe liners can absolutely be fixed if they fail, bulge or wrinkle. When a pipe liner experiences a failure, the first task that should be performed is a camera inspection. This allows the pipe lining technician to locate the problem and determine if it is an epoxy pipe lining failure or another problem with the pipe. Since the camera inspection is recorded, that recording can be shown to the client, and the problems and solutions can be explained in detail. If the problem with the pipe is the pipe liner, the affected section of liner is ground out. A small area of liner can be fixed with an epoxy pipe liner patch. A larger section can be fixed by inserting another epoxy pipe liner in the affected area.\nMYTH: When pipes are lined, certain components of the plumbing pipe system are forgotten.\nFACT: Proper communication and pre-installation inspections need to be performed before any plumbing pipes are lined.\nProper communication and a thorough camera inspection must happen before any epoxy pipe lining solutions are installed. The camera inspection is essential for determining the condition of the pipes and if they can be lined. Communication is absolutely essential in order to determine the scope and expectations of the job. One example of this type of detailed communication occurred at US Cellular Field.\nOur pipe lining technicians, here at NuFlow, were asked if we could line P-traps. P-traps are not usually lined with epoxy liners due to the curve of the traps, but instead of telling the client that we could not line their P-traps, we started developing a custom solution that involved cutting out excess pipe liner until it fit the size p-traps at the stadium. Once installed and cured, the liner was sanded smooth and finished with an epoxy coating. The result was beautifully lined P-traps that were completely restored.\nTo learn more about how epoxy pipe lining solutions can help you restore your plumbing pipes, call us at 815-790-9000. |
Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) is a tumor suppressor and essential negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. Wnt signaling is crucial for proper patterning and cell fate specification during development and regulates stem cell homeostasis throughout adulthood. Mutations in Apc are strongly linked to human colorectal cancers and these mutations aberrantly activate Wnt signaling. How APC regulates the Wnt pathway and how oncogenic Apc mutations activate Wnt signaling and promote tumorigenesis are not fully understood. To address these questions, we utilized in vitro reconstitution assays, as well as Apc knockdown or mutation in human cells, zebrafish, and mice. We find APC directly enhances activity of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3), an essential regulator of diverse signaling pathways. Furthermore, APC loss of function mimics GSK-3 inhibition by reducing phosphorylation of Glycogen Synthase and by activating mechanistic Target of Rapamycin in Complex 1 (mTORC1). Thus we identify novel roles for APC as a regulator of GSK-3 activity and GSK-3 dependent signaling. Wnts reduce GSK-3 activity through an unknown mechanism to activate downstream signaling. We find Wnts induce rapid APC dissociation from the GSK-3/Axin complex, suggesting a new mechanism for how Wnts reduce GSK-3 activity. GSK-3 also regulates mTORC1, and we find oncogenic Apc mutations activate mTORC1. Furthermore, many Apc mutant phenotypes are partially rescued by mTORC1 inhibition, while others are rescued by combined mTORC1 and Wnt inhibition. These observations demonstrate roles for mTORC1 activation downstream of Apc mutation. Taken together, our findings provide new insight into APC function and the effects of oncogenic Apc mutation.\nValvezan, Alexander James, "Novel Roles for the Tumor Suppressor APC Through Regulation of GSK-3" (2013).

Showing the film Armenian Genocide on public TV caters to the wishes of some Armenian organizations to label their suffering as genocide, while completely ignoring the historically documented death of hundreds of thousands of Turks and other Moslems at the hands of the Armenian Revolutionary Bands during the First World War. As Canadians of Turkish origin, we are very disappointed that our Provincial Public Educational Television Network decided to air this film, portraying only the one side of a complex and controversial history, while ignoring the other.\nIn the interest of fairness, equality and balanced journalism we, the undersigned, ask TV Ontario to reconsider showing this film in its program Human Edge. We urge TV Ontario, instead, to organize a debate on this sensitive and controversial topic where representatives of the Canadians of Turkish origin in Ontario and the Armenian community are both invited.\nPlease consider making a small donation today. This will allow us to keep PETITION AGAINST ONE-SIDED PORTRAYAL OF HISTORICAL EVENTS alive and available to a wide audience. |

A devastating zero model can guide your actions when deficiencies are discovered in projects. This concept may help you recover from new product development problems.\nIn one of my current projects, I had the impression that everything was satisfactory. The objectives were clear. We had support from the highest levels of management. It seemed that many of the individual contributors were engaged and working in a cohesive and harmonious manner, Then, I learned of one exception. There was a potential problem related to the promotional effort for the product.\nIn a communication with the project sponsor, I wrote that I had just learned of a potential problem and that I had requested more information.\nIt was then that I realized the cause of my mistake. An excuse of “not being involved” is inadequate.\nWhen I became aware of the potential problem, my first tendency was to assign blame and demand accountability.\nFortunately, my thoughts shifted to options for recovery.\nDuring my analysis, I discovered that I could improve my understanding of the situation using a mathematical model that I am proposing for new product development.\nTypically, mathematical models associated with new product development projects are associated with financial results such as the return on investment (ROI) or total sales or relative growth. These types of analyses predict post-launch results.\nAnother type of mathematical model can be associated with development. It requires a pre-launch perspective.\nTypically, mathematical models associated with new product development projects are associated with financial results such as the return on investment (ROI) or total sales or relative growth. These types of analyses are done post-launch.\nThe perceptions impact project decisions (such as go / kill / wait), project portfolio decisions, and business development decisions.\nConsider the following simplified equations that contain factors A to Z that contribute to the project value.\nExamples of factors A to Z may include the contributions from individuals assigned to roles in functional groups such as engineering, testing, marketing, advertising, promotional efforts, and commercialization.\nIn the first equation, the hypothesis is that the contribution from one set of individuals adds to the value created by other individuals. Efforts are additive.\nIn the second equation, the same factors exist but the contribution factors are multiplied.\nIn the first equation, there will be a minor impact on the final value. In the second equation, when the promotional efforts factor has a value of zero, the total value will be zero.\nI realized that our project had system-level problems. The feedback regarding the promotional efforts was inadequate because the feedback was delayed. The lack of progress on promotional efforts was not sufficiently transparent.\nI was in this situation because we out-sourced promotional efforts. We out-sourced promotional efforts because of precedents from prior projects.\nIn the next few hours, the seriousness of the problem became clearer. The project sponsor was furious. The sponsor signaled that they were considering termination of the project.\nMy insight occurred when I compared two of the definitions of product.\nAn object produced by the efforts of management and individual contributors. Typically, there is a process associated with developing a new product.\nIn mathematics, a product is the result obtained by multiplying two or more factors.\nSuddenly, I realized an alternative meaning of product development. The alternative meaning for product development is based on the second equation.\nTo improve product development, evaluate the factors that contribute to the project. Some can be improved. When the magnitude associated with one factor approaches zero, the value of the entire project will approach zero. Ensure that none of the factors has a value of zero. I am calling this a devastating zero.\nEnhancing resilience is one approach to improve the potential for new product development project success.\nResilience: the ability to adapt so that success can be achieved in cases of expected challenges and unexpected challenges.\nResilience is a desirable quality for any project.\nThis simplified model predicts that a project can not be successful when one of the factors contributing to value equals zero.\nThis model builds on what I have previously described as Success Limiting Factors (SLFs). SLFs are items that impede new product development. Some SLFs have a deterministic nature. In some cases, there is a simple cause and effect relationship. In other cases, the interactions are more subtle.\nIn the extreme case, the project can be terminated because of perceived deficiencies in one factor.\nBefore launch, all the factors tend to be qualified with words such as forecast, hypothesis, uncertainty, risk, and guess. In this context, perception influences decisions. Perception can be sufficient to terminate the project. Perception can become reality.\nI hope that the devastating zero model enables you to expand your product development repertoire. It requires that you enhance your capability to detect problems. You will benefit by expanding the way that you approach problems.\nWith the appropriate orientation, you will not have to relinquish success. You will be better equipped to hold on to success when a devastating zero is discovered.\nThis entry was posted in Development Experience, New Product Development and tagged Devastating Zero, New Product Development, NPD, Sinking, Your side of the boat is sinking by OpLaunch.
