Following the charity efforts of stars like Pearl Jam, Cher, and The Game, one man in a city far away is joining the ranks of private citizens making a difference in Flint.
South Carolina resident John Wright will be making the 887-mile journey to deliver hundreds of cases of clean bottled H2O to Americans suffering through the contaminated water crisis in Michigan.
After the end of a three-day donation drive hosted this week by John, residents in Mount Pleasant had contributed so many cases of water for his journey north that he had to abandon his plan to use the rented U-Haul truck – and upgrade to an 18-wheeler tractor-trailer.
“It’s a good problem to have,” he told WCIV.
The water will be arriving on Monday at the community center in Flint for distribution.
Michigan officials are now discussing rebates for utility bills paid by residents for water they could not drink going back more than a year. |
Print, cut, fold, glue, fly! This is a simple design for a flying dragon that is perfect for flying indoors or outdoors in a light breeze. From the first cut to the finished dragon, expect to spend 50 minutes. If you have no prior experience making paper or model airplanes, it may take over an hour.
Print the PDF onto card stock (or onto plain paper, then photocopy it onto card stock). Use approximately 80 lb. card stock. Use any color that strikes your fancy.
If you intend to print double sided (so bones will be visible on the top of the wing) you may need to experiment with the photocopy machine or printer to get good alignment between the two sides.
Here are the materials. The green paper is simply a work surface that prevents glue from getting on the table. The matte knife (utility knife) is not entirely necessary. If you are a child or adolescent and want to use a matte knife, ask an adult for assistance and use it with caution. Put a cutting board or other durable material under the card stock before cutting it so that you don't damage the table.
Cut them out very carefully. Be patient with this step.
The instructions are covered in this short video. Here are some parts of an airplane you'll need to know in order to best build, fly, and adjust the dragon.
The dragons pictured in this Instructable are color designs that I sell online. The PDF you downloaded is black and white. If you wish to color your dragon (which would be fun and totally worth it) be weary of using markers. The moisture in the markers may cause the paper to ruffle and warp. Colored pencils are probably the safest option. Like a good engineer, you can do tests with markers and pencils on your scrap material.
Look down the nose of the dragon and make sure there are no twists or bends in the fuselage. If there are any, gently straighten them out. Check the wings, too. Make sure the left and right sides of the wing are raised to the same height. Check the vertical and horizontal stabilizers for warps and symmetry. Check the dragon and make adjustments after every few flights. This will ensure proper flight. Avoid water and damp ground.
Put small paper clip (no. 1 size) if you are flying the dragon indoors, or if you want the dragon to do loops and turns. Use a large paper clip if your want a longer, straighter flight, or if you are flying outdoors and there is a breeze. You can adjust the rudder and elevators to change the flight characteristics of the dragon. Note that the elevators should never be set at a downward angle, as this will cause the dragon to pitch down and crash.
WARNING— The glider can cause eye injury. Advise those around you before you throw it, and consider wearing glasses to protect your own eyes.

Phoenix Gulf Shores 601 Balcony views!
Our condo is perfectly situated on the 6th floor directly overlooking the outdoor pools at Phoenix Gulf Shores. Avoid the elevators and park directly on this floor!! We also have a keyless entry door lock so you do not have to keep up with any keys during your stay and FREE WIFI! You can enjoy a spectacular view of the Gulf from the balcony or through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the unit. With over 1,980 sq ft the unit is very spacious, newly furnished and new to the rental market!!
Amenities are abundant at this Phoenix Gulf Shores condo: the unit is appointed with full-size appliances, wet bar with ice maker, 65” flat screen HDTV in living room and a flat screen 65" HDTVs in the master and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th bedrooms all have 55" HDTVs, laundry room with full size washer and dryer.

Great stay at the Phoenix Gulf Shores!
We spent a fabulous week in Gulf Shores this year on our annual family vacation. The facility was great and the condo was immaculate! We cannot wait to visit again next year.
Definitely renting from Phoenix Rentals again!
Condo was in great condition! I will be renting from this management company again.
We enjoyed our stay here. We normally stay at the Lighthouse or Caribe but decided to give Phoenix Gulf Shores a try since it's brand new and we are glad we did. The complex has great amenities like a zero entry pool which we loved for our little one who loved to splash in the water. PGS is on the small side so we didn't have long waits for the elevator or on the boardwalk waiting to wash our feet and clean our toys. We also liked that we could park on the same floor as our unit. The unit itself is nice. Looks just like the photos. Kitchen was well stocked; although we didn't cook all that much. Good stay. We hope to return soon.
We were the first guests in this unit at Phoenix Gulf Shores (probably some of the first guests in PGS too). This unit is top notch. Very well appointed. The views from the balcony were some of the best we've seen and we even saw a few dolphins playing right in front of us which really put the cherry on top of our trip. Our kids loved this property for it's pool and slide. The ramp to the beach is a very short walk which was nice for coming and going from the beach for lunch, snacks, etc. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals and there was a grocery store right across the street which was so convenient to not have to drive. We were able to walk to supper a few nights which was nice to not have to worry about parking. Also, the parking deck goes right to the 6th floor so we never had to worry about the elevator to unload and load our luggage and groceries. Cayce with Phoenix Rentals was very helpful in answering all of our questions and he was very up front with us on what to expect with this new building. Our check-in and check-out process was very easy. We will definitely be back to this property and to this unit for our vacation next year. |

Do you need some help with summer cocktail party outfit planning? Or some advise on what to invest too in this season’s sales? My answer to both questions will be go for a printed colorful party dress. It will make you … happy!
I got my Peter Pilotto dress in London, on sale, a few years back, at the Joseph store in South Kensington and it is an investment I never regretted. It is my go to party dress because wearing a printed dress with colors just makes me feel good.
Matching my new GiGi New York orange clutch was a no brainer. I wear my new bag with Birkenstocks by day and strappy heels by night. Such a versatile piece.
This is a great cocktail dress and I love the orange clutch and gold shoes with it.
The clutch’s pop of orange takes this look to the next level. Love! |

In the same way and for the same serious reasons which made me decide to produce a BOOK OF ACCUSATION against Pope Paul VI for heresy, schism and scandal ten years ago, and to take it to him myself in the company of many and worthy persons on April 10, 1973 – a book from which I retract nothing today and which I make it my duty to present to you officially as an eternal witness to the faith of the people of God against the heresies, schisms and scandals of that fatal pontificate – so I am led to formulate the same accusations against Your Person – accusations hitherto unheard of in the Roman Church despite my unworthiness and nothingness, for even more serious reasons and in still worse circumstances. Though this SECOND BOOK OF ACCUSATION may appear to be a repetition of the first, which is understandable given the fact that you declare yourself to be the spiritual son and continuator of Paul VI, adopting and continuing what I imputed to him as heresy, schism and scandal, it is in fact more grave than the first accusation. For what in Paul VI were daring hypotheses, spectacular innovations, empty words, in a word heteropraxy, with you is a reinforced block of philosophical theses, projects and desires strictly defining a categorical heterodoxy.
It must be said to your face, Most Holy Father, that your religion is no longer that of the Roman Catholic Church, Christ’s unique Church, whose Head you are. Your religion is the religion of man who makes himself god and not the religion of God, the Son of God, Who made Himself man. For the one excludes the other. Someone must rise up in the Church and make bold to tell you these things openly, publicly, bluntly and without hesitation, because it is the revealed truth on which our supreme good depends : our ultimate end, the honour of the Church and the future credibility of her infallible magisterium, the salvation of our souls and the tranquillity of our consciences in rebellion against your teaching. And finally, Most Holy Father, your own salvation depends upon it, if your soul will deign to profit from this remonstrance. For none of the Church’s children, especially of her pastors, of her supreme Pastors, can be saved unless he hold the most pure, sound and entire Catholic faith.
For you are no longer Catholic, you are no longer Christian for it is all one, even though you remain in name and in fact the Sovereign Pontiff of this Church whose faith and unity you reject from the depths of your will and intellect. Of course, you are the idol of the masses. That is partly due to the power of the opinion formers, held for the most part by the Church’s worst enemies and by perfidious modernists, whose protector and accomplice you are. You are spared by these people because they dominate you and hold you at their mercy. In part, you reign over the Catholic and believing masses because you mix much apparent Christian discourse and great manifestations of piety with your bland humanism, thus misleading them. It is also certain that our bishops and many priests who have come up through the ranks of Catholic Action have been poisoned by modernism and progressivism for a quarter, even for a half-century, in many a country including yours and mine. As for the rest, the credulity of Catholics when hearing the Pope is infinite, not that they can be too much blamed for that.
Have I one deed or one text on which to rest such accusations ? I have five hundred, Most Holy Father. But to begin with I shall give only one on which I am prepared to stake my entire faith and life. One on which the whole case could be judged ; it is one of your recurring themes. That of the Kingship of Jesus Christ, a kingship which for you is not that of God made man, but that of Man whom you proclaim to be god. You invoke Christ, you mangle the Gospels in order to strip God of His divine and royal attributes, with which you then adorn man, Man become your idol, the object of your worship and service, of your love and striving. I take to witness what remains of the Catholic faith in your soul and in the souls of the cardinals and the ministers of the competent dicasteries who will have to learn of my complaint. I summon the Authority of the Church, her sacred hierarchy, her faithful people, each and everyone, in so far as my powerlessness permits, but in the name of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, to say openly and clearly whether such humanism in place of orthodox and Catholic Christianity is worthy of their unfeigned assent and adherence, or whether it merits anathema. Thence will this extraordinary trial be decided, from which one of the two parties will emerge acquitted and the other condemned, from which one will emerge sanctified by the trial and the other, failing recognition of error, public retraction and due reparation, will be doomed to the flames of hell and to eternal damnation.
May the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary come to our aid ! |
Both inspired and fascinated by Dylan Stewart’s wood-burning artwork, we reached out to learn more. After digging a bit deeper and learning of his passion for spearfishing, we busted out the wetsuits and water housing. This short documentary screened at the Maine Outdoor Film Festival and was featured by outlets like the inertia and teton gravity research.

Now managing director of the Tees Valley CA, Mr Lewis sees himself as a “radical” who is attempting to push the boundaries of public sector working through devolution.
Since Ben Houchen created, in the Conservative candidate’s own words, a “political earthquake” by winning last May’s mayoral election in a historically Labour-dominated area, the Tees Valley has risen from relative obscurity to political prominence – namechecks in the chancellor’s Budget and the business secretary’s industrial strategy are evidence of that.
“I have always worked in areas where there is a high level of complexity and detail, but also where there is also a high level of political interest,” said Mr Lewis, who joined Tees Valley CA in July 2016.
“The focus of my career has been to bring those together and to have a good oversight of the detail that’s required in order to deliver these very technical challenges, but to do that in a way that relates to political leaders and works with them constructively to produce radical ideas.
Twenty-seven years ago Mr Lewis joined the Treasury and rose through the ranks to become a senior economist specialising in tax policy, international economics, financial regulation and employment policy.
Although he left the Treasury in 2004, Mr Lewis believes that experience has stood him, and the combined authority, in good stead.
“It’s always helpful to have people who have a good understanding of both local and central government and can bridge that divide, which can often feel like quite a substantial divide,” he said.
Mr Lewis said negotiating devolution deals epitomised that as the locally developed proposals cannot be an “unachievable wish list”. He said: “The proposals need to be ambitious and pushing the boundaries but you also need to judge tactically what the right proposition is at the right time in order to unblock the Whitehall machine.
In 2016, Centre for Cities described the Tees Valley as the “dark horse of devolution”. Since then it has built on its devolution deal and the prime minister launched the first mayoral development corporation outside of London on the former SSI steelworks site. That subsequently received £123m in the Budget.
Prior to joining the Tees Valley, Mr Lewis was Newcastle City Council’s assistant chief executive.
He said working for a council is “good preparation” for making the step up into a more strategic role but added it is different with a requirement to be “immersed” in forging local partnerships. |

Wojciech Jarosz Photography • "Rhine Falls at Sunset"
The following weekend in September, we took a bike ride from Zurich to Rhine Falls (with a small section of our route crossing into Germany). It was nice and flat most of the way, and we arrived just in time for sunset. Kelly and I had dinner at the restaurant visible at the bottom of the falls afterwards. |

Schalke coach Ralf Rangnick has resigned citing burnout, just six months after taking charge of the Bundesliga club. The 53-year-old suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and has struggled to maintain the energy levels required for the job.
“After a long and deep reflection, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need a break,” Rangnick said in a statement on the club website.
Prior to taking the Schalke job, Rangnick had enjoyed a successful four-and-a-half-year spell with Hoffenheim during which he took the club from the third tier to the top-flight.
“The decision of Ralf Rangnick deserves the highest respect,” Schalke general manager Horst Heldt said.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are doing their bit to refute suggestions that Spanish football is turning into a predictable two-horse race. Both sides dropped points last night, with Barcelona fortunate to secure a 2-2 draw at Valencia, while Madrid were held to a goalless draw at Racing Santander. The results leave the reigning champions in 4th spot in La Liga while Jose Mourinho’s Real sit uncomfortably in 7th spot.
Naturally, Mourinho was magnanimity personified after watching his fail to win or score for the second successive match.
“It’s less worrisome to draw a match in which you’re the only side that tries to play and win, said Mr Charm.
Following Sunday’s defeat to Levante, Mourinho complained about the opponents’ underhand tactics. True to form, he levelled the same accusations against Racing.
Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola has been dragged into the debate concerning the club’s decision to accept a shirt sponsorship deal with the Qatar Foundation. There is a growing opposition to the deal with thousands of Barcelona fans signing an online petition urging the club to revoke the agreement.
Part of the opposition to the shirt sponsorship deal stems from the lack of democracy in Qatar, but there is also a principle at stake, with may fans believing commercial shirt sponsorship is incompatible with the club’s lofty ideals. A few seasons of mid-table obscurity while they chipped away at their €442 million debt would certainly test those principles.
Guardiola, who knows all about the lure of the petrochemical dollar, having played in Qatar for played Qatar’s Al Ahly between 2003 and 2005 and acted as an ambassador for the country’s successful World Cup bid, has defended the regime.
“I can tell you that I lived for two years in Qatar and my family and I received wonderful treatment,” the 40-year-old said.
“Qatar is opening up to the Western world and I know the efforts that the Foundation is putting in to do some really good things. I think that we often don’t understand the Muslim world – nor they us.
They need time and Barcelona need money. It’s a perfect fit.
Israel international made his first start for Palermo and he didn’t have to wait long to impress his new supporters.
After The Miss comes La Falta, and a huge sigh of relief from Fernando Torres when he saw Valencia’s Roberto Soldado somehow miss the target against Barcelona.
Uruguayan side Nacional’s match Copa Sudamericana game against Universidad de Chile was abandoned early in the second half after a linesman was hit on the head by a toilet roll thrown from the crowd. Mercifully, it was unused.
The game was the second this week in the competition to be called off, after crowd violence also marred the previous night’s match in Ecuador between Emelec and Olimpia.
Inter have appointed Claudio Ranieri as their new coach, and the 59-year-old has already vowed to “wake up the team”.
Ranieri told Domenica Sportiva: “Inter are a great team. They have had a bad start to the season and I will have to talk to the team to understand why that was.
Ranieri’s managerial cv is as long as your arm, and includes spells at Roma, Juventus, Parma, Fiorentina and Napoli as well as overseas stints at Valencia, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, where he earned the name the Tinkerman for the frequency with which he rotated his players.
A day after FIFA confirmed that Issa Hayatou had been installed as head of its London Olympics football organising committee and GOAL Bureau chief, football’s governing body says his appointments were just a “technical error”.
“Due to a technical error, appointments for FIFA standing committees have appeared on the FIFA website,” said the FIFA statement released to media at 19:00 CET on Wednesday.
“The appointments for the chairman and deputy chairman of the FIFA standing committees will be communicated in due course.
Hayatou like most people who have been involved in the running of the sport in the past 20 years, has been the subject of corruption allegations and is currently under investigation following Panorama claims last year that he received kickbacks in the 1990s scandal that engulfed FIFA’s now-defunct marketing partner ISL.
Given that Hayatou is currently the subject of an International Olympic Committee investigation, the decision to appoint him as the replacement for Mohammed Bin Hammam as head of the 2012 Olympics organising team, did seem a little remiss of FIFA.
Like appointing Bernie Madoff to replace Nick Leeson, with the whole process overseen by Arthur Anderson.
Samuel Eto’o has demonstrated that millions of roubles deposited into his bank account following his summer move to Russian side, Anzhi Makhachkala, have not dimmed his competitive edge.
The Cameroon striker was involved in an unsightly incident with Dynamo Moscow’s Argentinian defender, Leandro Fernandez, after heading over the bar from close range.
I can’t lip read and my Spanish is no more than rudimentary, but I suspect that Fernandez might have been saying something about the size of Eto’o’s wage packet and his failure to hit a barn door.
Eto’o appears to have taken to life in Dagestan quite well and has enthused about the welcome he has received from the Anzhi fans.
“My team-mates and I personally are very thankful to them. Owing to our supporters we never feel lonely in away matches.
What? They fly in from Norway each week and most of them are living in a mythical past?
It’s not often that one gets to share some good news, but there will be few football fans who would begrudge Owen Hargreaves his comeback goal on Wednesday night. The Manchester City midfielder has suffered so many setbacks in recent years that the term injury-plagued doesn’t really do justice to his travails. Dead, would seem more aposite.
Having played just six minutes in the past three years, Hargreaves made his debut for City and opened the scoring in their 2-0 Carling cup victory over holders Birmingham City.
“The last three years have been a learning curve for me,” he told Sky Sports. “I could never have anticipated myself being in that position which was trying to make the most of a difficult situation.
On his overall fitness, Hargreaves was cautiously optimistic, even envisaging a return to the England side.
“I’ve just got to take it step by step,” he said. “I’ve just got to get back in training, consistently playing.
Steady on now Owen. Don’t run before you learn to walk. And in your case, I mean that literally. |
What do you mean by small business?
Small business refers to the company running by the first-generation entrepreneur with lesser funds and reach. Many of these types of business have low annual revenue and also the number of employees is less as compared to big business. Many companies come under the category of small business like hair salons, café, recruitment organizations, confectionaries stores, and medical stores. The margin of investment and the amount of profit gained is less as compared to big businesses.

Maintain the stocks for the remaining amount.
Now for every small business, the cost plays a significant role for both the customer and for the owner. Increase in price will affect the number of sales and decrement in price will also decrease the amount of profit. To maintain a good business, you should manage all the factors which influence your profit and sales, and for this cost would be an essential aspect of your business.

In this type of payment, the amount of money is not fixed. It may be possible that in one month there is a low variable cost as compared to the previous month. The variable value is the one which determines the amount of profit gain in a certain period.
Taxes are mandatory to pay. The government set up the amount of taxes on different factors and has different margins. The sum of tax should pay prior in a month.

IT outsourcing is simply part of the way modern organizations do business today. This course will teach you the fundamental concepts of IT outsourcing and provide you with a framework to prepare for an outsourcing project.
Why Outsource and What to Outsource?
Hi everybody, and welcome to this course, IT Outsourcing - Preparing for an Outsourcing Initiative, where we are going to take a look at the things you need to do in order to prepare for an outsourcing project. My name is Tommy van Schaik, and I fill my days as an IT project manager working for the government and commercial organizations, advising and dealing with out sourcing initiatives. Outsourcing is just a part of the way modern organizations do business, and IT, because of the nature of the product, is a very suitable candidate for outsourcing. I believe that in this day and age, every IT professional should have at least a basic understanding of the outsourcing concepts in order to prepare themselves for the modern IT workplace. This course is the first course in the IT Outsourcing learning path, where we cover all phases of an IT outsourcing project, starting with this one, where we introduce the basic concepts and reasons behind outsourcing, the different outsourcing approaches you can use, and how to put together a good outsourcing strategy. By the end of this course, you will have a firm grasp of the outsourcing fundamentals, and you will have a good framework to get your outsourcing project off to a good start. So let's get started on this course, IT Outsourcing - Preparing for an Outsourcing Initiative, here at Pluralsight.
Hi everybody, and welcome back. We're going to continue this course on preparing an IT outsourcing initiative with this next module, Why Outsource and What to Outsource? In this module, we're going to look at the rationale behind outsourcing, and we're going to look at the different areas of IT that are suitable candidates for outsourcing initiatives. Having a good overview of the reasons behind outsourcing, and the different areas of IT that can be outsourced gives you a good foundation to understand some of the outsourcing-related decisions that organizations make. Alright, so first we'll look at the why behind outsourcing. Originally, outsourcing was almost exclusively about cutting costs, but nowadays organizations start outsourcing projects for a wide variety of organizational issues. We will discuss these issues, and how outsourcing could provide an answer to these problems that organizations are facing. Second, we will look at the different areas of IT and how suitable they are for outsourcing. As technology becomes better and better, more areas are easier to outsource. Especially now Infrastructure and Platform as a Service is really taking off, it is becoming way more attractive for organizations to look at putting some of their IT capabilities in a cloud environment. Alright then, let's get started on this module on the why and the what of outsourcing.
Hi everybody, and welcome back to another module in this course on preparing for an outsourcing initiative. We already covered the basic elements of why organizations outsource and what kind of IT capabilities are usually outsourced by organizations. Now let's take a look at the different strategies you can apply when outsourcing. We'll look at the different options, and explain the process of identifying the best possible solution for your organization. Alright, so the approach is going to be as follows. First, we're going to look at using a single vendor for your outsourcing, or perhaps you'll find it better to have multiple vendors involved in your outsourcing activities. Then we'll discuss the possibility of offshoring and nearshoring when you look beyond the borders of the country your company is situated in. Then we'll take a look at a cloud options, and how they impact the possibilities you have when it comes to outsourcing. Then we'll look at some less-common outsourcing models like crowdsourcing and microsourcing. And finally, and perhaps most importantly, we'll provide you with a structured approach to determine the right outsourcing model for your individual organization. Alright, so that's the plan, so let's get started on this module.
Hi everyone, and welcome back to another module in the course Preparing an Outsourcing Initiative. In the previous modules, we familiarized ourselves with the reasons to outsource, what kind of IT to outsource, and what kind of outsourcing options that are out there. In this module, we're going to present you with the framework that you can use to select and verify your outsourcing initiative, and we're going to be talking about how important it is to get support from all layers in the organization right from the start of the outsourcing project. So for selecting and validating your outsourcing initiative, you're going to need a good old-fashioned business case. And because outsourcing is such a multi-headed beast, it's important that you make it thorough, easy to understand, in such a way that you do not only convince yourself that this is a good idea, but also the people within the management, and even the people within the different IT departments of your organization. Then we're going to be talking about the buy in from the rest of the organization. If you are going to prepare for an outsourcing initiative, it's vital that you include everyone as early as possible within the project. This will create support and hugely improve the chances of turning your outsourcing project into a success. Alright then, let's get started on this module on Preparing for Outsourcing. |
Earth Day is April 22 and to celebrate, I’m showing you how easy it is to recycle cardboard into an adorable refrigerator magnet using ribbon.
I save lots of household trash like this cardboard box for my craft projects. It’s a great way to save money and recycle at the same time. Cardboard can be cut into almost any type of shape, like the potted flower I selected for the refrigerator magnet.
Once the design is cut out begin by covering the pot and trunk with ribbon by gluing on and wrapping around.
Next, for the flower petals, cut and seal 2.5 inch long strips using your Proxxon hot wire cutter or just cut and seal with heat. You will need 37 pieces for a 3 1/2 inch circle.
Fold each strip together and using tweezers to hold, cut off at the diagonal from fold . . .
Fold bottom corners together, overlapping and seal with heat.
Glue petals onto circle in a clockwise pattern . . .
overlapping rows until reaching the center.
Place hot glue in center and add seed beads, and press them down to seal.
Fold a piece of Bowdabra bow wire in half and place it in the Mini Bowdabra, tucking ends under. Then place the ribbon into the center making a 2 inch loop and leaving a tail.
Fold the other side ribbon, making another 2 inch loop leaving a tail and cutting off excess ribbon.
Finally, scrunch down the ribbon with the Mini Bowdabra wand.
Push the end bow wire through the loop while it’s still in the Mini Bowdabra, tightening and gently pulling out. Take the wire around to the back and knot. Cut off excess wire.
Dovetail the ends by cutting on the diagonal at the fold.
Finally, fluff the Bowdabra bow . . .
and glue onto the flower pot and also glue on magnets to the back.
Lastly, enjoy your recycled magnet!
Once you make your recycled cardboard magnet you will want to visit Bowdabra designer Gail to see even more of her awesome craft tutorials on her blog and social media!
Visit Gail at her blog, Facebook, G+, Pinterest and twitter.
Absolutely beautiful, my friend! Thanks for the tutorial.
You’re quite welcome, dear Stephanie! You are a sweetheart!
Precioso trabajo y magnifico tutorial.Un trabajo delicado y muy primaveral.
Gracias, Lirtea! Eris tan amable!
this is so adorable Gail, love it!!!
Thanks, Sandy! You know I enjoy making things using ribbon and Bowdabra bows!
Wow what a beautiful bow ? |
Hello, Above issue is solved. I am able to create object file and lib file with respective folders. Now i written code for executable, but without any errors my executable is not gets created.... Change to directory dir before reading the makefiles or doing anything else. If multiple -C options are specified, each is interpreted relative to the previous one: -C / -C etc is equivalent to -C /etc. This is typically used with recursive invocations of make.
When one directory contains multiple programs, it is most convenient to describe all of the programs in one makefile ./Makefile. Since the target remade by default will be the first one in the makefile, it is common to make this a phony target named ‘ all ’ and give it, as prerequisites, all the individual programs.... Are a couple of ways. Each line in a makefile is send to a shell separately, hence the "\" to get multiple lines treated as one line.
If a project directory doesn't yet exist, create one now. Start a new makefile for your project by copying Makefile.sample from the Bob folder into your project directory, then rename it Makefile . Open it in any text editor that supports Unix-style LF line endings. how to become an apple news publisher A makefile is the set of instructions that you use to tell makepp how to build your program. Makepp can accept most makefiles written for the standard unix make, but if you're starting from scratch, it is often much simpler to use some of makepp's advanced features.

C Extension for C++ source files. On Unix systems typically .cc, on DOS/Windows .cpp. Note that the source files in the apfloat packages have a .cpp extension so if this is something else than .cpp, you will need to rename the files to the appropriate extension. |

On November 16, 2010 John J Nolt Oil Company contacted New Holland Police Department reguarding a delivery of 150 gallons of fuel oil to 3124 E. Lincoln Highway Apt A Paradise, Pa on August 20, 2010 at the request of resident, Kerri JOHNSON. The business recieved a check for $342 as payment for the fuel oil which was found to be issued on a closed account. A search warrant was served on Woodforest National Bank for the bank records pertaining to JOHNSON's account. Bank records from Woodforest National Bank shows that Johnson's account was closed on January 17, 2010. |
I was able to capture a video of the "tearing" as well, here is the frame(s) that it happens in on both the source file and the actual playback on catalyst. It is somewhat subtle at times but on videos with more motion it is more noticeable.
I have files that run on the exact same machine that have double that data rate that run fine, they just don't have any fast motion so I don't see it.
This is with 1 layer running, plenty of system resources showing on the meters and no apparent frame drops. In testing I could play back I think 6 layers of this file with no frame drops.
I have more pics if it's helpful.
Any news on the Mavericks patch?
I just had to replace my Mac Pro and the new model won't run osx 10.7 or 10.8!!!
Although it is not a show computer I do use it for pre vis and programming and we start production rehearsals next week!!
I am sure Richard will post the link to the download when he is happy for it to be used on shows. |

excellent Location, Tasty and Varieties of food. Totally different experience. As food professional i always suggest to keep local dishes which only you people has served. Dal pakwan/Bajra khichdi were excellent and services in restaurant as well. Thanks for everything. Keep it up.
Absolutely fabulous hotel. The staff were fantastic, each and everyone of them. The location for us was wonderful as it was out of the hustle of the city and yet close enough to do anything in the city. The rooms were spacious, clean and well appointed. The property was nice.
I wish Jaisalmer had a direct flight, just so that I can visit Suraygarh again. Beautiful property with exceptional service. Specially the buffet and the serving staff. Property was full, still there was enough space and service was good. Seems like good service is build into the culture and everyone was really good. Staff brought out breakfast items that were not on the menu, which was great. Would like to call out Manjeet for great seevice. Only thing that was lacking is giving us info on activities provided by Suraygarh. Like safari or dinner at dunes, I asked for infor repeatedly but no one reached out. Rest was great and I will definitely recommend anyone who is going to Jaisalmer.
We spent 2 wonderful nights at Suryegarh. It is a little outside of city center of Jaisalmer in the middle of the desert. A charming renovated fort, you arrive there and never want to leave. Service is great, breakfast is a highlight, the rest of the food was good but way overpriced. Pool is under renovation but overall the hotel is still an amazing experience!
This hotel was absolutely amazing, perfect for our family. From the numerous reading nooks and gorgeous old artifacts to sublime gardens and exceptional service, we loved every minute of our stay. The animals at breakfast enchanted our 11 and 9 year old kids. The only disappointing thing was that the main pool was out of service having repairs, so there was only a very small (but nice) pool to dip in (it was very hot, so the pool was necessary). I would highly recommend it to anyone. Note that it’s 15 minutes drive outside the craziness of the main town but this was a good thing!
The facilities are immaculate. The staff caters towards all your needs, but sometimes it felt that someone is babysitting you. Some personal space without interruption during meals would be a welcome change. Overall, I would recommend the stay at this location.
To visit Suryagarh Jaisalmer is atleast once in a lifetime place to visit. We were here for our first anniversary and it was a experience to remember. They have given the feel of Old traditional fort with modern touch. The peace, joy and serenity you feel and absorb at thai place is just beyond words. I will for sure come here many more times in near future.
We stayed at the signature suite at suryagarh which were very comfortable and retained the perfect heritage charm. Despite a few glitches here and there the overall experience at the hotel was great. The personalized service at the hotel made us feel at home. Special mention for the staff. They are pros at taking really good care of their guests. Food quality was good.
Great stay in a lovely hotel away from the pollution in the city, yet close enough since it's just a 20 minute drive to the fort. The property is beautifully laid out, the colours are restful, there's nothing that jars and the 'chudail trail' late at night is great fun - you mightn't see any ghosts but it's a delightfully spooky experience, and of course, the desert stars are awesome.
The hotel is spread over vast property and have all the amenities. The highlight is the breakfast time when you have peacock, dove, tortoise running around in the lobby and you can even feed them. The children will definitely have great time playing with animals and listening to live folk songs. Staff are courteous and will ensure that you have pleasant stay. I would like to thank Mr Sagar for helping us to plan our stay and also upgrading our rooms to ensure children have direct access to lobby. A definite place to stay.
impressive building and extensive grounds 6 stars service and attention to detail encountered only in other few 5 starsL world-famous hotels massage to die for think I went to heaven and back a few times in only 75 minutes would have gladly stayed another few days just mooching around well done guys!

Great staff, sublime hotel, delicious food! We will go back. |

Select this option to view and/or edit the invoice of the specific task on the Invoices / Edit page.
To sort the tasks list according to any of the columns, click on the orange column tab of your choice. A small arrow will appear. If the arrow is pointing up, data is sorted from lowest to highest value. If the arrow is pointing down, data is sorted from highest to lowest value. Click to change the arrow direction.

To filter the Tasks list, enter the filter data in the Filter field, situated at the top right of the page, to the left of the blue New Tasks + button.

To visit the client summary page, click on the client name in the Client column. To visit the Tasks / Edit page of a particular task, click on the date/time data in the Date field.
With many clients, and any number of projects ongoing at the same time, you need a simple, automatic way to keep track of the time spent on a particular task or project. Of course, this is really important when you charge clients according to time spent, such as by the hour. Yet, it can also be helpful to know just how much time you are devoting to a client or a project – even if the time spent doesn’t necessarily affect your billing.
Either way, the Tasks component of Invoice Ninja allows you to record and manage your tasks and sessions for every one of your clients.
To create a new task, go to the main taskbar and click the Tasks tab. Then, select New Task from the drop-down menu. The Tasks / Create page will open.
Before creating a new task, it is vital to ensure that the correct time zone is set. To set the time zone, go to the Settings button on the right side of the main taskbar. Click to open the drop-down menu. Select Localization. The Localization window will open. Here you can choose your time zone, enable 24 hour time, and select your preferred Time/Date Format.
Now that you’ve set the correct time zone, you can begin creating a new task.
On the Tasks / Create page, begin by selecting the client name from the drop-down list that opens when you click on the arrow at the right side of the Client field. Then, in the Description box, enter any information you want to describe the task at hand. For example, you might enter “Designing company logo”, or “Consulting conference call”. This will make it easier to identify and manage each task.
There are two ways to record sessions spent on a task: Timer and Manual.
This is an automatic timer feature that allows you to record working sessions in real time. To begin the timer, press Start. Then get to work. The timer will run until you select Stop. When you select Stop, you’ll be automatically redirected to the Tasks / Edit page for this created task. Here you can view a summary of the task, including Date, Time and total Duration.
The other way you can create a task is by manual entry of the session details. When you check Manual, two separate fields - Start Time and End Time - will automatically open below. Here, you can record the time spent on a task session, no matter when you completed it. Whether last week, yesterday or just now, simply enter the relevant date and time.
The Set to Now link, situated at the right side of the time fields, gives you the fast option of selecting today’s date and the time right now. Then you can easily edit and make minor adjustments to record the correct times.
With Manual entry, you can enter multiple sessions for the same task. When you finish entering a start and end time in one row, a new row will automatically open, giving you the option to enter another session.
If you want to delete a particular session, hover your mouse over the time duration of the session you wish to delete. A small red cancel icon will appear. Click on the icon to delete the entry.
Want to save the task information and move on to something else? Click Save. The task information will be saved, and you’ll be automatically redirected to the Tasks / Edit page for this created task. Here you can view a summary of the task, including Date, Time and total Duration.
With Manual entry, the dates and times you enter must be logical with no overlaps. If you’ve entered sessions that cannot exist simultaneously for the task, the relevant time fields will be highlighted in red, and you’ll be instructed to fix the incorrect times before leaving the page.
Whether Timer or Manual, once you’ve saved or stopped a task session, you’ll be automatically redirected to the Tasks / Edit page. To edit the task, click the blue Edit Details button situated just below the task information. This will open a list of all sessions for this task accrued so far, both Timer-based and Manual sessions. Now you can manually edit them. If you wish to add a session manually, enter the start and end times in the new row below the list of existing sessions.
Want to continue working with the timer? To use the Timer function, click Resume, and the timer will begin again. Continue working. When you finish, click Stop. You can resume working as many times as you like for the particular task. When the task is complete, all the time spent will be recorded as one session.
Want to save the task information and move on to something else? Click Save. The page will refresh and the task information is saved.

• Semikhah could only be conveyed by a quorum of three judges, one of whom must himself have Semikhah.5 Semikhah could be conferred verbally or in writing. The “laying on of hands” was only practiced in the earlier generations. It was not practiced beyond the generation of Moses and Joshua.
• Both the grantor and recipient must be in Israel at the time Semikhah is given. • In order to receive Semikhah, one must be an expert in all areas of Torah law. He must also be of proper character and zealously observant of the mitzvos and words of the sages.
• Yoreh Yoreh (He shall instruct, he shall instruct) – This ordination was for matters of religious and ritual law.
• Yadin Yadin (He shall judge, he shall judge) – This ordination qualified the scholar to matters of civil, criminal, and monetary law.
• Yatir Yatir or Yatir Bechoros Yatir (He shall permit, he shall permit) – This ordination qualified its holder to rule on matters of animal sacrifices and ritual purity.
By the fourth and fifth centuries the Romans had driven most of the rabbinic community across the border into what is now Iraq. With few sages remaining in Israel, the chain of Semikhah eventually broke.8 For the next several centuries, the title “rabbi” would not be used.9 Instead, a scholar would either be referred to as “khokham” (wise one) or, if he held a position of authority, as a Gaon (eminence).
4 Most of this material is taken from Maimonides, Hil. Sanhedrin 4.
5 Sanhedrin 13b-14a. Hilchos Sanhedrin 4:5.
8 There are some Gaonic traditions indicating that ordination may have continued beyond the fourth century. See the Kovetz Shaarei Tzedek, p. 29-30 and Sefer HaShtarot, p. 132. However, even these concur that there is no modern semikhah.
9 The term “Rabbi” is not all that common in the Talmud either. There are many honorifics used in the Talmud for Torah scholars. However, most of them are referred to simply by their names or sobriquets.
In modern times, Semikhah refers to a degree or diploma certifying one as having completed a course of study in halakhah, Jewish law. The impetus for this new Semikhah was the rise of the medieval university, which began to issue diplomas and degrees. Jewish communities, in constant flux, saw the value of credentialing its religious scholars. They called this academic degree Semikhah in commemoration of the classical Semikhah. While this Semikhah caught on in the European Jewish world, Sephardic communities did not adopt it until very late.
• Rav U-Manhig – The equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree, this Semikhah originated in the 20th century at Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore, MD. It certifies the holder as a teacher and as knowing the basic laws of the synagogue ritual service and observance of the holidays. Not all yeshivas issue this Semikhah or accept it as valid. Where accepted, the holder may use the title Rabbi.
• Yoreh Yoreh – Equivalent of a Master’s degree. Based on the classical Yoreh Yoreh, this is usually awarded following a course of study in kashrus (dietary laws), Shabbat, Niddah (laws pertaining to married women), and Aveilus (mourning). Traditionally, the final exam is given in Issur ve-heter (a very detailed sub-section of the dietary laws). This is the most common Semikhah today. A Rabbi with this Semikhah, who holds a position of communal authority, may be called Rav.
• Yadin Yadin – Also based on the classical Semikhah, this ordination is the equivalent of a Ph.D. It requires extensive study of the laws of monetary and civil damages, as well as the laws of marriage and divorce. One who holds this ordination may be called Dayan. In the US, however, they are usually called Rabbi or Rav.
There is a fourth level that is very uncommon in our times called heter horaah (although this term is confusingly applied to other ordinations as well) or Semikhahs Moreh Horaah. This is an all-encompassing Semikhah awarded to rare scholars who have mastered the entire body of Torah literature. Very few people receive this today.
• Semikhah is first and foremost a certification in Torah Law. Biblical interpretation, philosophy, and theology, are rarely, if ever, part of the curriculum. semikhah is only relevant to the study of Torah law – it is not awarded for knowledge of other areas.
• Semikhah is an academic degree attained after a course of study and examination. It is not awarded based on righteousness or character. There are people with semikhah who are not particularly pleasant.
• One who has semikhah at one level may not teach or answer questions about law from a higher level. Someone with Yoreh Yoreh should not answer questions about Yadin Yadin material.
• Because it is possible to get semikhah in only one narrow area, it means that one does have to be a Torah scholar anymore to be a Rabbi. Likewise, one doesn’t need to be a rabbi to be a Torah scholar.
• One does not have to study at a yeshiva to attain semikhah. Either a person can study at a yeshiva and receive semikhah from the Yeshiva, or one can study privately and be examined by a renowned Torah scholar.
Ultimately, the world of Torah scholarship is a meritocracy – the greater scholars receive the greatest recognition and are accorded authority on the merits of their achievements. For this reason, many of the greatest Torah scholars and authorities of the past 150 years never bothered with semikhah. |
Michele Bilyeu Creates *With Heart and Hands*: All My Bags are Packed...I'm Ready to Go!
All My Bags are Packed...I'm Ready to Go!
No matter how busy I am, I know there is a part of me that needs to be (as they say) the recipient of the first oxygen mask. I've learned the importance of being able to breathe.... so that I can still help others. I've learned to take time to change priorities and do things for myself..... just because I really, really need to.
I decided while previously in Alaska, that I really NEEDED an ID wallet. I sat waiting to take off from the Juneau, Alaska airport last year...sitting next to my legally blind mother, who also has moderately advanced Alzheimer's....and waiting for the rest of my family to return from their 'frantically trying to fit a lot in' trip to a store while I sat out my 2 hr security wait. They left my mother with me at the airport...so I could spend every last minute with her and because shopping is just too hard on her, anymore. I was happy to be with her and happy to be able to just sit!
Even though Juneau is the capital city of Alaska, our airport is quite small, the waiting area is even smaller yet. But now the Juneau Municipal Airport has been upgraded.... to having two floors and an escalator. My mother and I were lucky to even find two seats.... but those two seats were right by the top of that escalator.
As I watched people going up and down, down and up, running up against the flow, running down, even faster than the flow, and then of course, some of them...even trying to beat the flow by going against it. And I thought about all of the challenges and dangers a simple escalator poses...and how it's almost a metaphor for the hectic pace of our own lives.
Little did I know, that 1 1/2 hrs. later, I would be in that frantic flow....at the top of the escalator, frantically praying that someone...anyone I knew.... would come sit with my mom. I was about to miss my flight. And there are only two flights out to Seattle a day. And this was the second one.
I heard the first call for passengers to board. Not go through security...board. I heard the final call for passengers to board...not go through security which I hadn't done yet...board.
And then, my prayers were answered...here comes my desperately, frantic brother...running as fast as he could up the escalator to meet us. I barely had time for explanations or time to hug my mom and tell her that I loved her... before I had to run...as fast as I could... another 20' to security. When I got there...well, have you guessed it yet?
A ticket, a purse, two carry-ons, a bag of 2 oz or less liquids all ready to set out.... and no driver's license. They were holding the plane for a babbling woman with no photo ID.
I babbled about having had it at ticketing...just 2 hours before.... that the agent could identify me... that I had all kinds of credit cards to prove who I was....but nope, no driver's license photo ID. And they HAD to have it. And I couldn't find it!
I knew then, that I needed an ID wallet and I'd wear it around my neck...just like a Quilt Guild badge ID and then maybe, next time...I wouldn't be surrounded by 4 TSA agents...all with 'very serious we mean business' faces.
And yes, I made myself breathe, and yes, I finally found my driver's license...sandwiched between some credit cards in the wrong place in space and time. Just exactly like I often am.
I learned from that lesson at least...my oxygen mask is firmly in place. Ta da...my newly created ID wallet.
I may have been too tired to think, or follow any directions on any pattern...but I still managed to make one! And somehow, best of all, I managed to find the time...just for me, for something I wanted and needed to have and to do.
North to Alaska...early tomorrow morning, with my photo ID AND my ticket, both together and ready... in the right place...for all of the right times!
...and for a while there I was holding my breath for you. I'm glad you have this for yourself.
Breathe, Michele, breathe! I could only imagine your frustration at the airport. This trip will be smooth sailing... well done! I am praying for a safe and peace-filled journey home.
Safe trip. Take care of yourself and don't forget to breathe!
Wishing you a safe trip too! And BREATH!
Such a simple solution to help ease the journey. Safe travels.
What a great idea! No digging around looking for it in your purse, no stress, immediately handy!
I've gone to the airport before without an id. I felt like a fool, but with all the other pieces of credit cards, etc., and my young daughter vouching for me, they went ahead and gave me a ticket and took my luggage. Very smart of you to make an id wallet, and a pretty one at that.
My heart goes out to you!! You are so right, this little bag will take care of all those "important documents" needed when traveling!
Wow, what a story and scare. And your solution in making this great travel tool is a brilliant way to ensure peace of mind in traveling. I wish you and your family well on this trip.
I was just wandering and landed here.
I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. Not only for your family challenges, but how you learned from a difficult situation and turned it into a positive action. And then you were generous enough to share it with others.
Wow, what a GREAT idea, I can't wait to make one!! I just found your blog and love it, nice to meet you! |

When I saw this inspiration pic for this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger, I immediately thought of cyanotypes! Cyanotypes are "prints" made from photosensitive paper that reacts to sunlight. The results are beautiful silhouette prints in shades of white and Prussian Blue.
My day job is as a scientist, so this type of thing appeals to both sides of my personality. The result is this set of cyanotype mini cards!
I just love the detail and all the different tones. Can't wait to try this again! I'm saving up keys for the next round. Thanks for looking!
These turned out just beautiful!
OK, if you don't end up being a Trigger Target, I will eat my hat. These are amazing, gorgeous, and hands-down the most unique Trigger entry I've seen!
WOW, these are seriously cool!! Amazing results!! LOVE them!!
What wonderful designs you created! I actually have this same kit - laying under my specialty paper pile!! I'd best get it out and give it a try!!! these are gorgeous!
These are the coolest cards ever! wow impressive thanks for sharing these! |

The Connecticut State Police participated in the National C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) program over the Memorial Day Weekend. During this Memorial Day Holiday Weekend Connecticut State Troopers patrolled Connecticut’s roads using traditional patrol cars and unmarked non-traditional police vehicles. Troopers made several arrests over the holiday. The Memorial Day Weekend count began at midnight on May 26th and ran through midnight May 30th.
The State Police holiday operation remained in effect throughout the Holiday weekend. The program was not solely to issue tickets, but to remind motorists, as we begin the summer season, to use good highway safety sense and keep our highways accident free.
The Connecticut State Police are asking all motorists to join the State Police team throughout the summer months. All motorists were asked to exercise caution on the roads and report any suspected drunk driver by calling 911, this is a true emergency. |
DiNapoli Opticians is a family-owned and family-oriented eye center. For over 70 years, they have been providing quality service to New York’s Capital District.

eBizCloud© is eBizDocs’ hosted, feature-rich document management software solution. The service bundles cloud storage with eBiz ECM, a document repository that acts as a digital filing cabinet, but with additional benefits like file collaboration and workflow, granular security control, and robust searchability. eBizCloud© is compatible with nearly any document format, and the software ensures fast retrieval by enforcing a consistent cabinet structure and strict filing naming templates.
result, many businesses – even technologically conscious ones – default to paper recordkeeping for accounting documents. Receipts, invoices, and other AP and AR documents are all processed and stored in hard-copy. Because DiNapoli uses a variety of vendors for lenses, frames, and contacts they received countless paper invoices monthly.
“eBizCloud© seemed to be the best fit for us. eBizDocs enabled us to begin moving our paper document storage to digital images. Ultimately better file security, storage and retrieval of documents; it eliminated the need for an in-house server, too." |
Thai Massage is an ancient intuitive touch therapy.
What is Thai Massage?Thai massage is believed to have been developed by Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, physician to Buddha, more than 2,500 years ago in India. It made its way to Thailand, where the Ayurvedic techniques and principles gradually became influenced by traditional Chinese medicine. For centuries, Thai massage was performed by monks as one component of Thai medicine.
A padded mat on the floor is generally where the Thai massage is performed. Comfortable clothing should be worn as the massage is done while you are fully clothed as no oil is used. The massage lasts between 1-2 hours.
This treatment is a combination of Thermo therapy, essential oils of the herbs on the skin and Aromatherapy 3 in 1.
Herbal ball treatment grew out of the basic belief of Thai medicine is that Human touch, and other mother nature's gifts, are the best ways to heal the body, unlike drugs and other invasive treatments. It is much more than a relaxing way to relieve pain. |

We're again offering the Alpha course here at Holy Family. This past fall we had our first run, and it was a great success. We’re running the next course again, starting in January, and we’re opening it up to the whole parish.
Alpha is a strange beast. It’s a basic introduction to the faith for those who know little or nothing about Christianity. It’s an experience of the love of God. It’s an opportunity to build relationships and get to know people. It’s a way of awakening our faith, or diving deeper into it. It’s a place to ask questions. It’s a time to get to know God.
It’s all these things and more, so it’s hard to pin down. I heartily recommend checking it out.
This time we’re running the 7-week “Campus Alpha” version, with talks by Jamie Haith. We start in September and run until mid-November.
The full schedule for the Fall 2015 course, starting Tuesday, September, 22nd, can be found on our Alpha page.
Check it out. Try us. I don’t think you’ll regret it. |
To me, watching a movie is such a luxury. It’s a pause in the busy commotion of my days and nights as a parent of three plus pup. I love to see films in the theater, but watching at home with a glass of wine in hand snuggled up on the sofa is a second best. Last night we watched Captain Fantastic and a dare say I have not been so emotionally moved by a movie in years. Viggo Mortensen offers up an Oscar-worthy performance as a father of six who has chosen to live “off the grid” in order to protect his children from what he feels are the toxins and hypocrisies of modern day life. The film’s rich relationships make your heart ache – as you are reminded time and time again of just how difficult it is to be a parent. If you have been a parent or a child I think this film will resonate. It made me laugh, weep, wonder, and want more. |

Some people are born into a winery business, following a predestined path, while others choose a life of winemaking. For Colin Sheppard, a desire to combine his passion for wine and food led the former builder from Melbourne to the Barossa, to create a world-class boutique wine and food experience.
Colin and his wife Fiona established Flaxman Wines in the Flaxman Valley, a much-sought after stretch of high land in the stunning Eden Valley, in 2004. They built a winery and cellar door, offering delicious long table lunches, to showcase the produce of the region.
The vineyard, planted to two acres of 90-year-old Shiraz, three acres of 90-year-old Riesling and half an acre of Semillon, was productive but neglected. “We were willing to put in the hard work to bring them back to their full potential. We’re the first people to make single vineyard wine off of this site. These beautiful old vines have responded by giving us truly special fruit,” Colin says.
Flaxman wines are handpicked and made by Colin in his shed at the front of the property. The range includes the Estate Riesling ($30 a bottle), the Estate Shiraz ($120) and an Estate Semillon ($25) all made from Flaxman fruit, while additional fruit is purchased from other Barossa growers to make a Reserve Cabernet ($180), a Mataro ($50) and a GMS $30), amongst others. No more than 200 dozen of each wine are ever made.
Colin has a habit of making decisions without telling Fiona. He wanted to make a Cabernet, but Fiona disagreed. “Col made the wine anyway, and just wrote ‘shhh’ on the barrel, so I wouldn’t find out what it was until it was too late,” Fiona says. The Flaxman Shhh Cabernet ($50) was born.
“It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask for permission,” Colin says with a wink.
Colin’s first career as a builder has come in handy at Flaxman. He has built a cellar door and pergola, where famous Flaxman Long Lunches are held. Colin, who reached the top 10 of Masterchef in 2014, is also the cook at Flaxman.
Long Lunches are held on the first Saturday of each month and can be a shared dining experience for 8-12 people, or a large group booking for the whole table. Colin designs his menus based on what is fresh and in season each month (“And what I feel like cooking”), and museum and current release wines are paired with each course.
The food and wine experience on offer at Flaxman has struck a chord with visitors and reviewers. Long Lunches are often booked out and in 2018, Flaxman was awarded ‘Cellar door with best food’ in the Eden Valley in Gourmet Traveller Wine Australia’s Best Cellar Door Awards.
“Visitors are thrilled when they arrive that they are greeted by Col, the owner, the winemaker, the cook. It’s a true boutique wine and food experience that you can’t find easily anywhere else,” Fiona says.
Guests at the Barossa Wine Auction have the opportunity to experience Flaxman hospitality for themselves. Lot 5L is a Flaxman ‘Estate Shiraz and Long Lunch Package’ which includes six Estate Shiraz Magnums from the 2010 to 2015 vintages presented in a handmade timber box, and a four-course lunch in the cellar for six, prepared by winemaker Colin Sheppard, featuring the same six vintages of Estate Shiraz. Only 12 Magnums of each vintage were bottled, so this is a true collector’s lot.
The Flaxman cellar door is open to the public Thursdays to Sundays and cheese platters with both local and international cheeses are available each weekend. |
Amsterdam in 3 days. Next time it should be 5.
Amsterdam in three days. Nutsy. But we loved it.
In the trendy neighborhood of Jordaan. We liked it a lot here.
The art at the university residences.
It rained a whole heckuva lot while we were there. When we had brief sunny breaks here and there we would immediately take all our photos, and then the water would pour down again and we’d run for cover. This led to some fun shop and museum discoveries, and many delicious snacks (poffertjes, stroopwaffles, and cheese, to name a few…), so no complaints here.
Did you know that tulips originated in Turkey? Their name comes from the same word for the turban-style headwear of the Turks.
Several tools used in tulip production- to carry, clean, and sort different bulb sizes.
No filter. You see before you magenta, green, and bright blue cheese.
My sister getting a little silly with their dress-up box.
We found little discount tickets to things at our hostel and one was for Sara’s Pancake House, so of course we had to go. 🙂 It was a little pricey but the crêpes were quite good (I had a walnut caramel one and my sister had a pineapple banana crêpe), and it was fun to get a photo outside of me grinning ridiculously at ‘my’ pancake house (same spelling and everything)!
We took in an open mic night at an Irish Pub called Mulligans: we just couldn’t turn down free entertainment, especially not Celtic music. 🙂 Three young guys from Ireland were the main performers and sang such gorgeous harmonies we were in heaven. The lead singer was on an acoustic guitar, they had an acoustic bass and a mandolin. A percussionist on a box drum (forget the real name of it, sorry) and a guy on a hand drum rounded it out, and then part way through a fiddler came in to join them. It was absolutely fantastic!!
We went to the Rijk Museum of Art, which had a huge collection of art from the 1200s-1800s. One thing I noticed that I have never before seen in such a classic museum was that every piece of artwork had a description under the usual artist/title/material sign. It often said what the artist’s intention was, or what the images symbolized, and as a non-art-history major, I really appreciated that. It completely enhanced my experience. That, and some giant post-it notes around the museum with commentary from two modern art-history students on the art and the collections there.
We had seen posters about the Ice Bar and wanted to go, so made reservations for 10:30pm. The main bar is like any other, with music and drinks and bar seating (and maybe some bear skin rugs and giant polar bear and penguin statues)… And when your reservation time starts they give you giant parka ponchos and matching mittens, and lead you into a smaller room at the back of the bar that has ice sculptures, frosted walls and ceiling, and a mini light show. You get two drink tickets for inside the ice bar, and the options of Heineken, vodka or whip cream flavored vodka with orange juice. You get your drinks in ice glasses, and you only really want to hang out in there for long enough to have two drinks before you want room temperature again. It was really fun, and a totally unique experience. We then got “Amsterdammed” drinks in the main bar (cranberry-something-delicious), and headed home for the night, as the next day would be packed with Van Gogh museum, Anne Frank House, and a canal tour.
We had been waiting for two hours when we got to this sign.
My sister caught this photo of the musician in the boat while I held our place in line.
In the end we were in line for over 3 hours!!! We agreed that the museum was worth it. It was unbelievable to walk through each room in the home and hiding place of Anne and her family and see short videos of her father, one childhood friend, and one of the staff who helped hide her family above her father’s business talk about Anne and what it was like during the war, and the impact her diary and writing have had on the world.
Because of our 4+ hours at the Anne Frank house we didn’t make it to the Van Gogh museum. 😦 Since a canal tour had been so highly recommended to us we did that as our last excursion in Amsterdam as our night train left the main station at 7:00pm. We were looking forward to seeing the streets we had already wandered around from a different perspective, and get some history on the city. Going past all the house boats and barges was my favorite part. I would imagine it would be fun to take a tour in the evening when the city is all lit up.
Well, Amsterdam, it’s been a whirlwind three days! See you again!
Great photos and post, Amsterdam is definitely one of my favourite cities in the world!
It really was a fantastic few days, even though they were a little over-planned. 🙂 I think I’d recommend 3 days as the absolute *minimun* to visit Amsterdam and think 5-7 would be best. |
this works fine except it counts all the records in the table and not just the set of records which were selected in the query, when I change "tblQuestions" to the name of my query "qryQuestions" I get nothing. How can I change this to count only those records selected from the query?
You're wanting to limit the count to the number of records presented where? In the currently open form?
But the form is based on a query - not a table.

The Law, in your hands.
Also known as "attorneys at law", lawyers are the advocates and advisors of the legal world. But, not all lawyers are like the ones you see on Law & Order. Often working in an office setting, lawyers cover a variety of specialties where some rarely, if ever, see the inside of a courtroom. Some areas of legal specialization include environmental law, tax law, intellectual property law, family law, securities law, and litigation among others. Lawyers in the Gulf Coast region are most often found working for independent firms, local governmental bodies, or within large oil and gas corporations as in-house counsels. The job requires long hours and involves extensive reading, writing, and researching of legal topics to provide clients with the best possible representation. Lawyers at higher positions double as managers who oversee paralegals, assistants, and researchers who aid in retrieving and compiling the information their clients need.
Thanks to continued population and business growth in the region, the demand for lawyers is expected to remain strong, increasing 22 percent over the 10-year period.
Lawyers remain one of the highest paid professions with entry-level wages nearly double the median for all occupations in the region.
These skills, interests, and knowledge areas are recommended for a career as a lawyer. The numbers below describe the relative important of each knowledge/skill area to the occupation.
Being dedicated to long hours of research, reading and comprehending documents as well as drafting and rewriting papers and arguments.
Arranging large amount of information into a cohesive pattern or order, and being able to find conclusions or answers to possible questions.
Being able to persuade or convince someone to change their mind or reconcile in some way.
Being a lawyer requires a 4-year bachelor's degree program followed by 3 years of law school to get a juris doctorate (J.D.) from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) or one with a similar course structure.
To get into law school, individuals must take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) to determine their eligibility as applicants. The LSAT is an hour and fifty-five minute long test that measures reading, writing, and logical reasoning.
While in law school, or even before, it is helpful to study more about the various sectors of the legal field and think about which one you intend to pursue.
After law school, prospective lawyers must take a series of licensing examinations, called the "bar," as determined by the Texas State Bar Association before they are allowed to legally practice law. |
Trying out new travel opportunities is your specialty, and you want your next escape to include the great outdoors. How about a farmstay? Unlike other types of getaways—where you often have to leave your accommodation to experience something new—agritourism lets you join in on farming activities from the comfort of your temporary home. Not only will you and your travel companions experience something novel, but you’ll also be benefiting small communities, local farmers, and agriculture at large.
If you’re interested in learning more about food production, visit a working farm that processes crops or livestock. Some locations will allow you to rise with the farmers and try your hand at milking cows and collecting chicken eggs. Traveling with the family in tow? This unique experience of working on a farm will certainly stick out in your children’s minds, and will help them better understand where their food comes from. You may even find yourselves adapting some of the things you learn to your own home!
There are also lodging options that provide less intensive agritourism opportunities, such as farms with corn mazes and petting zoos for your little ones. Looking for a more adult experience? Visit vineyards that provide wine tasting and harvesting opportunities for those of age, or spend time at one of the flower farms that house stunning acres of bursting blooms.
From quaint cottages on the farm to ranch vacations that can accommodate the entire family, there’s something for everyone here on Travelocity. Begin clicking through our impressive selection of farmstay locations today, and prepare to get your beloved boots out of storage—you wouldn’t want to forget them! |

“The Funeral Director from the Dark Side” was the introduction to an item broadcast on TV One’s Close Up at 7.00pm on 7 June 2005. The item reported on the experiences of two women who were angered and disappointed by the way Wainuiomata undertaker, Darryl Angus, trading as Omega Funeral Services, had handled the funerals of family members.
The item also included critical comment about Mr Angus from the Funeral Directors’ Association of New Zealand. Mr Angus, it noted, was not a member of that Association.
Peter Freedman complained to Television New Zealand Ltd, the broadcaster, that the item breached the standards relating to privacy, balance, accuracy and fairness.
Explaining that he was a friend of Mr Angus, Mr Freedman said TVNZ was advised early on 7 June that Mr Angus, having taken legal advice, did not wish to participate in the programme. Nevertheless, TVNZ’s film crew, travelling in a vehicle on which the TVNZ logo had been concealed, spent several hours that day trying to track him down. That included going to his home and filming it. It also involved attempting to film Mrs Angus through the window at the Wainuiomata Fire Station where she worked as a volunteer firefighter. Those efforts, Mr Freedman complained, breached the privacy principle which dealt with intentional interference in the nature of prying.
In support of his contention that the item was unbalanced, Mr Freedman maintained that Close Up, despite Mr Angus’s refusal to take part, was required to broadcast a balanced item. Complimentary letters from former clients of Mr Angus’s Omega Funeral Services had been published in the local newspaper at the time of the recent controversy when he moved his business from an industrial to a retail area, Mr Freedman wrote.
Other comment could have been obtained from the Police, from the website www.wainuiomata.com, or from Mr Angus himself if he had been approached informally.
Mr Freedman said that the Anguses and Omega Funeral Services had also been subject to harassment from a small number of people for some weeks before the broadcast, but that matter was not disclosed.
Mr Freedman argued that the item lacked impartiality as, with minimal evidence, it had referred to “claims of theft, inappropriate attention, appalling workmanship and bad debts”. The critical comment from the Funeral Directors’ Association, he added, was based on unsubstantiated rumours.
Turning to the requirement for accuracy, Mr Freedman contended that the item failed to distinguish between fact and highly critical comment. Further, the item should have reported that efforts had been made to put Mr Angus out of business, and that had included an attack on the company’s hearse.
Moreover, Mr Freedman wrote, the item was unfair in that it accepted without question the criticisms of Mr Angus and reported them as fact. In addition, some of the footage used in the item had been gathered through deception, while the item had also used some file footage of Mr Angus taken in 2003.
In its response to the privacy complaint, TVNZ noted that no private facts were revealed. Further, it asserted that there had been no “intentional intrusion in the nature of prying” as the reporter, like any member of the public, had gone to places where he thought he might find Mr Angus. TVNZ also referred to the privacy principle which states that discussing a matter in the public interest is a defence to a privacy complaint. It maintained that the item was in the public interest as Mr Angus’s business went into liquidation within a month of the broadcast owing creditors $130,000.
As for balance, TVNZ pointed out that a broadcaster was not obliged to broadcast balancing material. Rather, it was required to make reasonable efforts, or give reasonable opportunities to present balancing material. Such efforts and opportunities had been clearly given on this occasion, TVNZ wrote, pointing to the reporter’s attempts to obtain a response from Mr Angus (which had included faxing a list of questions to Mr Angus several days before travelling to Wainuiomata).
TVNZ commented that an investigation was not abandoned if one party declined to participate. To do so, it added, would not contribute to the free and unfettered flow of information envisaged by s.14 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
As for the complainant’s suggestion that Mr Angus should have been approached informally, TVNZ said that such an offer had been made several days before the broadcast of the item. In view of the item’s focus on some specific actions of the undertaker, TVNZ did not accept that reference to the harassment Mr Angus had experienced was required under the balance standard.
TVNZ did not accept that the item was inaccurate. It had reported accurately the claims made against Mr Angus, and the genuinely held opinions of the disgruntled families and, as noted above, it stated that “every effort” had been made to get a response from Mr Angus.
Turning to the complaint that the item was unfair, TVNZ acknowledged that the logos on the vehicle had been covered. That had been done, it said, to avoid those who worked with Mrs Angus from impeding TVNZ’s efforts. Such a practice, it added, was not unusual and the need for it was apparent as there had been heated exchanges on this occasion between the TVNZ crew and the fire station staff.
Dissatisfied with TVNZ’s response, Mr Freedman referred the complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Authority under s.8(1)(a) of the Broadcasting Act 1989. The referral was accompanied by some other correspondence he had had with TVNZ in which Mr Freedman questioned the professionalism of TVNZ’s approach.
In regard to privacy, Mr Freedman said he had not contended that the programme had disclosed private facts. The item, he pointed out, had not dealt with the publicity surrounding the decision of Omega Funeral Services to move its business, but with the concern expressed by two families about Omega’s services.
Mr Freedman stressed that TVNZ’s reporter was informed on several occasions that Mr and Mrs Angus did not wish to participate in the item. Despite this, they were harassed for several hours and the item included footage taken on their property of the reporter knocking on the side door of their house. TVNZ could not claim that it was exercising the rights of any citizen as it was well aware that it was not going to get an interview. They had visited the property against the Anguses’ wishes, he wrote.
As for balance, Mr Freedman did not suggest that the item should have been abandoned. Rather, he questioned whether “reasonable efforts” had been made in view of the other information which was available.
Mr Freedman considered the item lacked impartiality by referring to Mr Angus as “the Undertaker from Hell”. He noted that Mrs Angus’ workmates were angry as they knew she did not want to be filmed but had been harassed in her work place.
The correspondence attached to the referral included a letter from Mr Angus, apparently to Mr Freedman, to which Mr Angus attached an email from Close Up dated 3 June seeking an interview and listing the issues to be discussed. In his letter to Mr Freedman, Mr Angus said he advised Close Up on 3 June that he did not wish to participate in the programme.
It also included an email to Mr Freedman from Close Up’s reporter, dated 8 July, in which the reporter expressed surprise that Mr Freedman was “still defending” Mr Angus in view of his actions. It was followed by a letter to Mr Freedman from TVNZ’s Head of News and Current Affairs, who said it was not appropriate for a reporter “to independently engage in argument over the validity of a story” and he had been counselled accordingly.
TVNZ maintained that the issues surrounding Omega Funeral Services remained issues of “broad public interest”. The liquidator, it added, had reported that among the unsecured creditors were people who had prepaid more than $36,000 for funerals.
As for the comments made by the reporter, TVNZ said that the matter had been dealt with internally and was now closed. “That argument”, it contended, “did not impinge upon or relate to programme standards”.
Mr Freedman said that it was “bizarre” for TVNZ to refer to Omega’s liquidation as that had occurred several weeks after the broadcast. He accepted that the email sent to him from the reporter had been dealt with internally but maintained his belief that the reporter’s actions demonstrated the “unprofessional and biased” manner in which the item had been prepared and broadcast.
Mr Freedman contended that the item breached the Anguses’ privacy as TVNZ’s attempts to track them down amounted to intrusion. The Authority accepts that TVNZ, before it visited Wainuiomata, knew that Mr Angus, on legal advice, did not want to be interviewed. The Authority acknowledges that journalistic practice is always to attempt to obtain comment from the key subject at the time of doing a story, even if the subject has previously declined to participate. If this practice is not observed, a subject may have changed their position and complain that they were not consulted, The Authority does not intend to consider whether a reporter has an implied licence to enter private property if the reporter is aware that the visit would be unwelcome. That is an issue defined by the law of trespass, and is not an issue of broadcasting standards. In view of the nature of the complaint, the Authority’s concern is whether TVNZ’s actions on this occasion amounted – in the words of privacy principle (iii) – to intrusion in the nature of prying.
The Authority accepts that TVNZ attempted to track down the Anguses. TVNZ visited Mr Angus’s business, Mrs Angus’s place of work, and their home. TVNZ suspected that the approaches would be unwelcome and had covered the insignia on the company car. However, beyond covering the insignia, there is no other evidence that TVNZ resorted to covert tactics. TVNZ wanted to confront Mr and/or Mrs Angus and did so in a way which it believed was direct. Taking into account the overt nature of TVNZ’s actions, the Authority concurs with TVNZ that the methods used were justified in the pursuit of a reluctant interviewee, and that they did not amount to prying that would breach Standard 3. It declines to uphold the privacy complaint.
When an item deals with a controversial issue of public importance, reasonable efforts must be made or reasonable efforts given to present significant points of view. The Authority considers that this item did address such an issue – the potential problems with an unregulated funeral director industry. This wider issue was highlighted by the experiences of Mr Angus’s dissatisfied customers and a spokesperson for the Funeral Directors Association.
The Authority notes, however, that the complainant’s concerns were not that the programme lacked balance in respect of the controversial issue raised by the programme. The complaint instead alleged, in essence, that the programme had portrayed the Anguses unfairly, and made insufficient efforts to put their side of the story. The Authority considers that these concerns are more appropriately addressed as issues of fairness, and therefore subsumes the balance complaint under the Standard 6 (fairness) determination.
In his referral to the Authority, the complainant did not specify any factual inaccuracies in the programme. His complaint in relation to Standard 5 instead focussed on the requirement for impartiality, and alleged that the programme, in portraying Mr Angus as “the funeral director from hell”, had adopted a partial point of view.
The Authority again considers that the essence of the complainant’s concerns is that Mr Angus was treated unfairly, in light of the “highly critical” comments about his business practices, and the “unsubstantiated claims” made by former clients. This aspect of the complaint is therefore dealt with under Standard 6 (fairness).
In his original complaint, Mr Freedman also alleged that the programme’s sources were not reliable. He referred to a campaign that he alleged had been conducted against Mr Angus in Wainuiomata, and stated that reference to this campaign would have raised “serious questions” as to the interviewees’ reliability.
Mr Freedman did not pursue this matter on referral of his complaint. For the avoidance of doubt, however, the Authority records that the complainant provided no evidence to suggest that the allegations made against Mr Angus in the programme were motivated by his disputes with other sections of the Wainuiomata community. In the absence of any information casting doubt on the credibility of the interviewees’ story, the Authority finds that TVNZ was entitled to use those sources.
the item had not advanced the Anguses’ point of view.
While the story told in the item dealt mainly with Mr Angus’s competence as a funeral director, other material provided to the Authority suggests that a number of people in Wainuiomata were concerned about other aspects of his business – in particular its relocation to the main retail area. Mr Freedman explained that incidents involving Omega Funeral Services have been reported to the Wainuiomata police. One incident involved an attack on the company’s hearse.
The Authority accepts that Mr Angus had been involved in other disputes with sections of the Wainuiomata community, and that these disputes were not canvassed in the item. However, it considers that the fairness standard did not require the item to detail this background. The complainant provided no evidence to establish that the concerns outlined in the programme were not genuine, or that they were part of a “concerted attack” on Mr Angus’s character, motivated by the disputes other Wainuiomata residents had with him. Accordingly, the Authority considers that the omission of the detail surrounding these other disputes did not render the item unfair.
In relation to the second limb of the fairness complaint, the Authority observes that TVNZ was required to make Mr Angus aware of the interviewees’ criticisms, and to give him the opportunity to respond. It tried to do so. Indeed, it went to such lengths to obtain Mr Angus’ response that the complainant alleged Mr Angus’s privacy was breached.
This, of course, does not derogate from a broadcaster’s responsibility to broadcast available information which would have advanced the criticised person’s point of view. The complainant referred to several sources of information that he maintained TVNZ should have included in the programme – information from local community newspaper the Wainuiomata News, local police, and a website, www.wainuiomata.com.
The complainant does not advise, however, that any of these sources could have provided information that defended Mr Angus against the allegations made about him in the programme. The examples he has provided relate only to information about the other disagreements in the community involving Mr Angus. As noted above, the Authority considers that in the context of a programme that discussed specific concerns about Mr Angus’s practice as an undertaker, it was not necessary to include information about these other disputes.
For the above reasons, the Authority considers that TVNZ gave Mr Angus a reasonable opportunity to respond to the allegations. The Authority also notes that the complainant has not pointed to any information available to TVNZ that, in the absence of comment from Mr Angus, could have provided his perspective on the allegations made in the programme. Accordingly, the Authority declines to uphold Mr Freedman’s fairness complaint. |
After much planning and preparation Soul Food Farm (http://soulfoodfarm.com/) is installing a irrigation system on their 50 acres of land near Vacaville. The installation will be taking place over four full days (9AM to 4PM - September 11, 18, 24, 25) and they are looking for volunteers interested in helping to set up the system. Volunteers will see the farm operation and be able to ask the irrigation designer and engineer questions about the system, design decisions, and other technical considerations. Volunteers are welcome on any or all the days (but need to RSVP with Alexis Koefoed (farmer/owner) so they can plan the work accordingly) and will be connecting pipes/drip lines, attaching sprinklers, or working on other farm projects.
This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in or considering installing a large irrigation system on their land. It is also a unique chance to visit an incredible pastured chicken operation that sells through farmers markets, a CSA, and direct to many fine restaurants in the Bay Area.
On a different note, with some extra acres and a need for some additional labor, Soul Food Farm is also looking for a few farmers interested in farming 5-10 acres of their certified organic land in Vacaville. Instead of leasing the land, they would like to explore work-trade arrangements, with the farmers paying for the parcel through work on Soul Food Farm.
If you have any questions about these opportunities please let me know, or if you'd like to RSVP for one of the workdays please call Alexis directly at 707--365-1798. |

Ask any business, and there’s a good chance it’s into e-commerce. It may already have a shopping website, or one is already on the pipeline. Even big-time retailers such as Ralph Lauren are redirecting some of their revenues to digital marketing efforts.
No one can blame them. In the Enterprise Guide to Global E-commerce report, its revenue could increase by no less than $4 trillion in 2021. It’s a far cry from less than $1.5 trillion in 2014. It’s also the only trillion-dollar industry to post double-digit growth, according to eMarketer.
Appearance and Use across Different Platforms – The way the website looks on a PC is entirely different once consumers see and use it on a mobile device. Smartphones and tablets, for example, have a much smaller viewing area. Some parts of the site may not render well.
Loading Time – This refers to how fast someone can view the contents of a website. Statistics revealed that Internet users these days are impatient. They wait for less than three seconds before they are likely to choose another site. In the meantime, websites with a one-second load time tend to have the highest traffic growth at 4.6%.
User Experience – Also known as UX design, it is a process of designing websites to boost their usefulness, ease of use, and customer satisfaction. In other words, the pages should make viewing and eventually shopping a pleasant experience.
Because of these, e-commerce owners may benefit more from a customized web development service from teams such as Rebranded.io than from template-based systems including WordPress.
Provide different options for feedback (e.g., live chat, landline, mobile, office address, and email address).
Personalize the experience. Use analytics to create a list of recommended products, for example.
Offer many methods of payments and delivery.
About 12% of the population are into e-commerce, which means there’s still a lot of room to grow. There’s even a big market to tap. Don’t waste it by making these critical mistakes. |
It is clear that there is an ongoing excitement surrounding web-based IDEs and tools, e.g. Eclipse Che, Eclipse Theia, Visual Studio Code, Atom or Eclipse Orion. If you attended recent presentations or read current announcements, you may get the feeling that desktop IDEs have already been deprecated. But is this really true? If you ask developers for the tools they use in their daily work, you will rarely find someone already using web-based development tools in production.
Do we go for a desktop tool, a web-based, or cloud-based solution?
Therefore, we want to share our experience on this topic. This is the first of three articles. It describes the most important drivers behind any design decision: the requirements. In the second article, we will describe challenges, technical patterns, solutions, and frameworks on how to match the requirements and how to remain as flexible as possible. In the third article, we will provide an example scenario to substantiate those best practises.
So first things first: As for so many design decisions, the most important thing is to know the requirements. Software Engineers love to talk about implementation and we also like to use new, fancy, or just our favorite technology. But in the end, we need to solve a given problem as efficiently as possible. Therefore, we should think about the problem definition first, even if that leads to a design decision that doesn’t bet on “what’s trendy right now”?
For the impatient reader, here is the possibly unsatisfying conclusion: Whether to go for a desktop or a web-based solution is a complex decision. If you want to make an optimal choice, you will need to consider your custom requirements in several dimensions. For some projects, it will be a rather simple and straightforward choice, e.g. if you are required to integrate with a given existing tool chain. However, for most projects you will need to consider the overall picture and even try to predict the future as accurately as possible.
In our experience, it is worth the effort. In the end, you will hopefully develop a good strategy. This strategy does not have to be limited to strictly choosing one option. It is also a perfectly valid strategy to choose one primary option, but also to decide on being compatible with another option. This allows for a future migration path forward. Further, it is possible to mix both worlds on a per use case basis. We will detail these particular strategies in a follow-up post.
So let’s look at the most common non-functional requirements, which play a role in the design choice between desktop and web. To be more precise, the following areas are typically treated as advantages of a web-based solution.
Installability: (also referred to as deployment or “set-up effort”): How easy and fast can you set-up the required tooling and the runtime for executing a system. Usually this is mainly referring to the developer tooling and its runtime(s) since it needs to be repeated for every developer. For simplicity, let us assume this also includes the effort to keep the system up-to-date.
Portability: How difficult is it to port a tool to another platform/hardware. In the case of IDEs this requirement is also sometimes referred to as “accessibility”. The typical use case is to access all development resources from any platform, e.g. also on your mobile device.
Performance and responsiveness: How responsive is the tool or how responsive does it feel. How long do crucial operations take to run, e.g. a full rebuild.
Besides those non-functional requirements, tools also need to fulfill functional requirements. As those are specific to a certain tool, we will only consider the cost requirement since typical projects are aimed at fulfilling their functional requirements at the lowest possible cost.
As a first requirement, we will look at installability, because it is the most obvious distinction between a desktop-based and a cloud-based solution. For this requirement, we will also introduce some example scenarios and dimensions, that recur for other requirements later on, so the next section is the most comprehensive.
Installability is probably the most prominent advantage that is advertised for web-based solutions. The vision is that you can simply log into a system via your Browser and you can directly start to code without installing anything, neither the IDE or tools, nor any runtime environment. Further, you do not need to install any updates anymore, as they are applied in a central way.
So let us look at this obvious advantage more in detail. The first interesting dimension of this is how much time you can save with improving the installability. This is connected to the number of developers that you have on-board to use the tooling and the number of people who are occasionally using those tools. Further, it plays a role on how long a developer would use the tool after installation, the shorter the usage the more significant the set-up time would be.
Let’s look at three example scenarios.
First let’s consider a tutorial/training scenario, where participants should participate in completing exercises. A tutorial/training takes usually a couple of hours or days, so the set-up time is a crucial part here. Further, trainings/tutorials are typically conducted for a bigger number of developers. Anybody who ever had to deal with preparing a setup guide for a tutorial would agree that a browser-based solution would immediately pay off here. Even the simplest and best prepared desktop-based setup will take some time to install. So this scenario is a win for a web-based solution if, and only if, you can rely on a robust high-speed internet connection. Consequently, you can observe that a lot of online tutorials already embed web-based code editors and tooling.
The second scenario is an open source project. Many OS project have a mix of different developer roles. Some developers (committers) are regularly contributing to a project. The second group of contributors typically uses a technology (“adopters”), but want to eventually contribute small enhancements and fixes. While for the regular committers, set-up is not that important compared to their time working on the project, occasional contributors are obviously often discouraged from contributing to a project by a complex set-up. Therefore, in this scenario, there is a mismatch between the requirements of two user roles that you need to balance. So is it worth to switch existing committers to a cloud-based solution to ease the life for contributors?
Ed Merks has described this issue very well in his blog post in 2014. His conclusion was the creation of a tool called Oomph, which automates the set-up of a desktop IDE for projects. For the source code, Oomph even goes partly a little further than most cloud-based solutions, as it even allows you to automatically check-out the sources. Please see here for a tutorial regarding Oomph. While Oomph greatly improves the set-up process, it does not solve the issue completely. It will still take some time to materialize all project resources (i.e. download time). So for a very small contribution, it might still be too much of a burden. Further, it does not fully automate the creation of an appropriate runtime. If a project requires a lot of external tools (e.g. databases, applications servers, etc.), those have to be installed separately. In turn, it does not touch the regular committer user, as they just continue using their existing and well-proven solutions. In scenarios with such different roles, it is always a good idea to let all developers use the same set-up and tooling. Otherwise, there might be slight differences in their output and further, the committers will usually only maintain their solution well.
The third scenario is not differentiated by the type of project, but by the use case: code review. In a scenario where a developer works on implementation within a project every day, she might not care about installability so much, at least other requirements might be more important. In turn, if you only review a code change and you do not implement something regularly, installing/updating all the required tooling plays a significant role. As a consequence, most reviews are already probably done in web interfaces (e.g. Gerrit or Pull Requests). Also the use case is focussed on reading and understanding code, rather than on changing or creating new code. Therefore, other requirements are not so important for a code review compared to a good installability.
Like the three scenarios described here, you can categorize any arbitrary project and the according use cases based on the importance of a good installability. The result of this will be very specific to a custom project set-up. Those considerations are naturally already reflected in today’s toolchains, where parts of the tool chain more focussed on reading or browsing code are often web-based.
There are some more considerations to make, which are related to installability. One is the updatability. While of course an update to the tooling is hopefully not the same as installing it from scratch, most considerations we had for the installability should be applied for the update case as well. This especially includes, how often updates to the tool are applied.
Another obvious dimension is the complexity of the project set-up. The more difficult it is, the bigger the advantage of simplifying it via a cloud solution. For this, we need to differentiate of course between the IDE tooling itself and the necessary runtime environment. The environment is often much more complicated, e.g. if you need to set-up several services, databases and so on. If only the runtime set-up is very complicated, a cloud-based IDE might not be the only valuable solution. There are several ways to ease those setups, even without using a cloud- based IDE, e.g. with docker containers or workspace servers like Eclipse Che.
Installability is one of the major advantages of a web-based solution. However, it will only provide a significant advantage, if the use case fits. Therefore, it is worth it to spend some time on defining the core users and use cases of your system and define the importance of installability for them. In a nutshell, installability pays off most in environments, where a lot of people need to and can be on-boarded very fast, and if they do not work continuously on a project. Unfortunately, when onboarding developers it is usually much more time consuming to transfer the required knowledge than to setup the IDE.
Portability is the second very obvious advantage of a cloud and browser-based solution over a desktop-based tool. The ultimate goal is that you can access the tooling and runtime with any device which has a browser. As a consequence, you can ideally fulfil your development use case at any location, even from a mobile device. In some discussions, this is currently referred to as “accessibility”. While this strictly speaking means something different, we consider Portability as the ability to access the tool from anywhere on any device.
A lot of the considerations we have described for installability can be shared when thinking about the advantage of Portability. Different project roles and different tooling use cases would benefit on a different level. Doing a code review or browsing a diagram on a tablet makes more sense than writing a lot of code. So, again, the detailed roles and use cases will need to be evaluated. We will not repeat that in detail, but focus on new dimensions, which are specific for portability.
One additional scenario connected to portability is the ability to share a certain runtime set-up or project state. That means developers always have exactly the same environment. This obviously simplifies life as the typical phrase “I cannot reproduce this on my machine” would no longer occur. However, this only fully applies to the tooling. For the runtime, it plays a role if the runtime platform for a system is unified, too. If the system under development runs natively on different operating systems again, you still need to test different runtime environments. As a consequence, cloud-based tooling currently seems to get adapted in the area of cloud-based development, first.
And like mentioned for installability, there are other ways to achieve a uniform setup, although not as unified as a cloud solution.
A disadvantage of a pure cloud-based solution is that they often rely on constant internet connection. While this issue becomes less and less relevant, at least it must be considered. Some cloud-solutions already provide a good work-around, e.g. the offline mode of Google Mail.
A final word about the dream to be able to contribute to a project from anywhere on any device: While this sounds appealing for certain use cases, do we really want to be called by a client and subsequently feel obligated to fix a bug on our smart phone while we are sitting in a ski lift?
Performance is a very interesting requirement to consider. In contrast to installability and portability, there is no clear winner between desktop-based and cloud-based tooling. You will find valid arguments for both to be “more performant”, e.g. this article by Tom Radcliffe claims that desktop IDEs are the clear winner.
The major reason for this tie is again that we have to consider the specific use case when talking about performance. While writing and browsing code, we want fast navigation, key bindings and coding features such as auto-completion. While web IDEs have caught up a lot in recent years, you can still claim that a desktop tool is typically more performant for those “local” use cases (as also claimed by Tom Radcliffe in the article referenced above).
Things change, when looking at other use cases, e.g. compiling. A powerful cloud-instance can certainly compile a project faster than a typical laptop. Further, it is comparably cheaper and more scalable to gain more resources in a central way. However, when going for a cloud-based solution, scalability must be taken into account. Any advantage is obsolete, if developers have to wait 15 minutes for getting something compiled, because other build jobs are running on the central instance.
So for performance, it is important to consider which development use cases are crucial and will benefit performance-wise from either solution. A follow-up decision of a cloud-based solution would be to strip down the hardware for participating developers to save costs (Chromebook scenario). While this sounds like a rational thing to do, not everybody will like the idea of giving away his or her powerful device.
Usability also doesn’t have a clear winner in the comparison between desktop-based to web-based IDEs. While advocates of both platforms would claim a clear advantage, this is really a matter of personal taste. Web technologies have become incredibly powerful when it comes to styling, look, and feel. Therefore, you can achieve almost any visualization you would like.
Further, there is much more innovation going on in the web area in comparison to, e.g. SWT.
On the desktop, depending on the UI Toolkit you use, there might be more restrictions. JavaFX and Swing are powerful when it comes to styling, but Swing is kind of deprecated. SWT has limitations when it comes to styling. However, it probably provides most existing framework support when it comes to tooling (see also “cost vs. features”).
Besides styling, native desktop applications have still some advantages in usability, e.g. by supporting native features such as application menus, tray icons, key bindings and such. Although, it is expectable that these advantages will shrink over time as browsers keep on evolving very fast. In any case, usability is not equal to the ability of supporting a dark theme as some browser advocats may try to make us believe.
It is worth mentioning that there are platforms combining advantages of both worlds. Platforms such as Visual Studio Code, Atom or Eclipse Theia embed web technologies (HTML and Typescript) into a desktop application (using Electron).
At the end of the day, for many projects a very important constraint is cost, meaning the required effort to satisfy your list of functional requirements. A comparison of the required effort on either platform is driven by several parameters.
Second, cloud-based solutions usually add some complexity to the architecture due to the required encapsulation of client and server. Of course, you want to have encapsulation of components in a desktop-based tool, too. However, you typically do not have to deal with the fact that components are deployed in a distributed environment.
Third, a very central aspect for implementing tooling is the availability of existing frameworks, tools and platforms to reuse. Ecosystems like Eclipse have grown over 17 years now and already provide a tool, framework or plugin for almost everything. Many requirements can be covered with very little effort, just by extending existing tools or by using the right framework.
While there are frameworks for cloud-tools, too (such as Orion, Eclipse Che or Theia), they are arguably not as powerful as Eclipse/IntelliJ/NetBeans, yet. This might of course change over time.
One mentionable trend is to reuse existing “desktop” components in web-tooling. As an example, Eclipse JDT provides an API to be used using the language server protocol (LSP). This allows you to reuse features such as auto-completion and syntax highlighting from another UI, typically a web-based IDE. While LSP does not yet cover the full feature set of the Eclipse desktop IDE, it is a great way of reusing existing efforts.
Finally, powerful frameworks usually also carry the burden of complexity. The advantage of reusing existing stuff typically (or hopefully) justifies the effort of learning to use a framework. In turn, if you just use a tiny bit of a platform, you might be better off in using something slimmer, which covers your use cases just as well. As an example, if you need a plain code editor without any context, e.g. for a tutorial use case, a platform such as Eclipse might be overkill.
So it is useful to evaluate the desired feature set and how well it is supported by existing frameworks on the respective technology stack (web vs. desktop). It is also worth it to investigate whether existing features on one stack can be adapted to be reused on the other (e.g. using LSP). This applies in both directions. Not only can you call existing frameworks in the background from a cloud-based solution, it is also possible to embed web-based UI components into desktop applications (see also conclusion).
Finally, what makes the dimension of cost vs. features especially difficult is that you typically cannot know exactly what kind of features you need to provide with a tool in the mid-term future.
There are obviously many other parameters to consider when comparing the costs of cloud vs. desktop-based tools. This article would go beyond scope if we were to spend a section on all of these, but let us at least mention some more important topics.
One meta criterion in the decision for a platform, framework, or technology stack, is the long term availability as well as how actively it is maintained. Again, there is no clear winner, when comparing desktop and web stacks. While you can argue that there is more development going on in the web area, it is in turn extremely volatile. Platforms such as Eclipse have been successfully maintained for 17 years now. There are existing workflows for long-term support (LTS) and suppliers like us providing this as a service. Plus, the platform is very stable in terms of APIs.
In turn, web frameworks provide major version updates with improvements almost every year. While this brings in innovation, it also often requires refactoring of an adopting project. As an example, there is currently a lot of variety emerging when it comes to web-based IDEs (e.g. Visual Studio Code, Theia, Eclipse Che, Orion, etc.). We will cover strategies to deal with this risk in a follow-up article.
Another meta criterion is the availability of skilled resources. At the moment, you can probably find more Angular developers on the market than SWT experts. However, this may change very quickly – once Angular is not “hip” anymore.
Another frequently discussed topic when it comes to cloud-based solutions is of course the security as well as tracing aspect. While it is certainly worth considering, it is probably not the key decision factor for most professional environments, but rather requires special attention.
In this article, we have tried to cover the most important considerations when deciding between a cloud or web-based solution and a desktop tool. There are for sure many more things to consider.
However, what all dimensions have in common is that it is most important to think about the users, their use cases and the frequency of those. Based on these criteria, you can evaluate the benefits of supporting them in the web or on the desktop. This is especially true, if you already have an existing tool and are considering a migration. In this case, there must be clear advantages justifying the cost.
While this is already complex, it is even worth it to make this decision on a per use case basis. This is already happening naturally in our tool landscape, e.g. code reviews are very often conducted using web-interfaces. Identifying the use cases in your tool, which would benefit most from being available online, reduces the effort and risk to migrate everything at once. So it is often a good idea to pick the low hanging fruits first.
Ultimately, it will almost never be possible to make a perfect decision. This is especially true, as important criteria, use cases, and technologies change over time and no one can perfectly predict the future. Therefore, the most important thing is to keep some flexibility. That means, even if you decide for a desktop solution, or vice versa, it should be as easy as possible to switch to the other option later on.
Even mixtures of both technology stacks on a per use case basis often make sense. While this sounds ambiguous, there are some simple patterns to follow to make this true. We will highlight those strategies in a follow-up article. This strategy also allows an iterative migration, which is often the only viable way tackle the complexity and efforts of migrating existing tool projects. Some Frameworks even proactively support this strategy by supplying implementations based on web- and desktop technology at the same time, e.g. EMF Forms and JSON Forms.
Some projects directly aim at a pure web-based solution, typically, if they benefit a lot from the advantages, if they implement something from scratch and if they have a pretty self-contained feature set (e.g. training).
Few projects do not consider web-based tooling at all, mostly if they have a defined set of continuous users and a lot of existing investments in their desktop tools.
Most projects plan to maintain their desktop solutions in the near future, but will migrate certain use cases to web technology. Therefore, those projects implement certain design patterns allowing this partial migration. We will highlight those patterns in a follow-up article. Follow us on Twitter to get notified about our blog posts. Stay tuned!
Finally, if you are dealing with the designing decision in your project and want support, if you want an evaluation of a web-based version of your tools or if you want to make your current tools ready for the upcoming challenges and chances, please do not hesitate to contact us.
A great article to compare these different options! |
Lexus Case Study “The Other Side of Lexus” connected ads put consumers in the driver seat.
To engage 25–34 year old men and promote its F Series performance vehicles, Lexus partnered with Team One and Microsoft to launch an innovative multi-screen campaign called “The Other Side of Lexus”. In this Creative Sequencing, Seth a car and sport enthusiast, begins the first part of Lexus’s extreme sport series “Ride with the Other Me” on one screen, then is able to follow a progressive story of adrenaline-pumping adventures, including sky diving, cliff jumping, and stunt driving, across different devices throughout the day, each time picking up where the series left off. The campaign culminates in a full-screen experience where Seth can watch more videos and explore the high-performance Lexus F Series. Take a look!
Lexus used this innovative multi-screen campaign to build relationships with millennial men and succeeded by increasing awareness for their sport vehicles, reaching their target on a broader scale. The most effective content are based around a story that gets the attention of others to engage with your brand longer. All the high impact content led to an above benchmark click-through rate of 1.3% and 2.1% user interaction rate. The online video ad played a crucial role for Lexus to reach their audience wherever they are and extend the impact of their integrated campaign.
With consumers constantly switching between desktop and laptop computers, tablets, mobile phones, wearable devices, and connected TVs, it’s difficult to target users with relevant ads. However, a multi-screen strategy is the future for marketers. According to an October report from eMarketer, U.S. adults are expected to spend 22.9% of their time in 2014 on mobile devices (non-voice), compared to desktops/laptops at 17.7%. The average time spent on mobile per day has jumped from 3.7% in 2010 to 13.4% in 2012 and now to 22.9% for 2014 (per the chart below).
This increase signals that consumers are quickly taking hold of more screens, and marketers should follow. Marketers should understand the role of each device in order to know how to evaluate the performance of the campaign and the performance by platform. Streaming media is appealing to marketers because it represents a seamless way to integrate audio and video into a website and it allows companies to speak directly to current and prospective customers and to promote their products in a visual, interactive manner.
“Technology is putting consumers in control of what, where, when and how they consume content, so it’s incumbent upon marketers to go find their audience and aggregate meaningful impressions across multiple video screens,” said Andrew Ward, group VP of national advertising sales for Comcast Media 360.
Ever since I noticed the buzz around ABC network primetime show Scandal via social media I have been hooked. ABC and the writers are selling an experience and engaging millions of people with weekly do not move from your seat episodes. ABC aired their fall finale of Scandal Season 4 on November 20th, 2014 with a return date of January 29th!
Scandal, a phenomenally popular television show on ABC, has much to teach the social media marketer. Scandal stars Kerry Washington as the fearsome and formidable Olivia Pope, a former White House staffer and professional “fixer” who spends her time managing the crises of Washington’s elite, dodging attempts on her life, and thwarting the advances of her former lover (the President of the United States, no less). There are plenty of conspiracies to unravel and backs to stab, so it’s no wonder that critics and viewers were slow to take to the show when it first aired. Yet by the conclusion of its second season (2013), the show was a bona fide hit, regularly drawing almost 9 million viewers. It’s up even more in the key demographic Adults 18-49 +43% compared with last season, according to Nielsen.
So how is emerging media affecting today’s marketing efforts?
Scandal has become a live event where the DVR is not an option. People are spending time in front of the TV with digital and mobile devices and from my experience Twitter is the main way people are interacting with the program followed by Facebook.
With over 500,000 Twitter followers and 4.3 million tweets last season ABC succeeded in growing “Scandal” brand following.
Use specific hashtags and existing fans or (#gladiators the label devotees have adopted for themselves) to drive new fans to the show via Twitter. The network, ABC, actively drives viewers to the live-tweeting using both on-air hashtags and promos tagged with voice-overs such as “to tweet with Kerry Washington, use #AskScandal.” After the star Kerry Washington finished live tweeting she gained more than 16,000 followers in one night.
By using Twitter and Facebook in just a few creative ways mentioned above, the network has enhanced their traditional ways of advertising in attracting viewers to the show. The combined social network and ratings growth from season one (2012) to season three (2013-14) is truly an overnight success.
Tweet with @kerrywashington and @KatieQLowes tonight at 7PM ET and ask all of your questions using #AskScandal! |
It’s the things we do on a whim that create the best memories. A few months ago it was warm enough to walk around in shorts, swim and rent a canoe. This canoe trip was not planned but ended up being one of my best memories of the trip I took with my boys. |

In a previous article we described the most modern class of fast attack missile craft (FACM) of Hellenic Navy (Πολεμικό Ναυτικό), the Roussen class. However, the backbone of the fast attack craft fleet consists of two older classes, the Laskos and Kavaloudis class. Laskos class is known as type Combattante IIIA while Kavaloudis class as type Combattante IIIB. Hellenic Navy, after the purchase and entry into service of the Konidis class FACMs (type Combattante II) in 1972 (P-14 Anninos, P-15 Arliotis, P-16 Konidis and P-17 Batsis, all withdrawn the period 2002 - 2004), decided to buy more boats of the type but larger and with heavier armament. It is worth of mention that the boats of Konidis class were the first missile boats to enter service in the Hellenic Navy and the first FACS worldwide that carried the Exocet missiles, one of the most modern anti-shipping missiles of that time. Thus, in September 1974, HN ordered again from CMN and their shipyard in Cherbourg in France, four vessels of the type Combattante IIIA, an admittedly heavy armed design for its time. The vessels were delivered in the period 1977-1978. Laskos class boats are of full displacement 429 tons (almost double displacement of the previous class), length of 56.6 meters, a maximum speed approaching 36 knots with economic speed of 25 knots and a range of 2,500 nautical miles and a complement of 42 men.
Click to enlarge: modified photo of Laskos class fast attack craft of Hellenic Navy. For a high resolution image click here.
The class is armed with two OTO Melara Compatto 3in (76.2mm) fully automatic guns; one foward at the bow and one at the stern. This gun can strike air and surface targets at a distance of 16 km and 12 km respectively; with a rate of fire 85 rounds per minute and weight of shell greater than 6 kg. The vessels also feature two naval mounts Emerson Electric (Emerlec) with twin Oerlikon KCB 30mm/75cal guns. These guns have a dual role, the firing rate is very high reaching 600 rds/min, the weight of shell is 0.420kg with a range of 10,000 meters in the anti-surface role and 2,750 meters in the anti-aircraft role. Each mount has a cabin for an auxiliary operator role who is responsible to start the engines of the system and other secondary duties. The system is remote controlled from the Combat Information Centre (CIC) of the boat while the operator retains priority on target engagement by utilizing the data from the sensors on board. The ammunition stowage per gun on its mount is 985 rounds. See a video of the system in action in HN service here.
The boats carry two twin launchers for the French made MBDA MM38 Exocet missiles which have a range of 42 km and a speed of 0.93 Mach carrying a warhead of 165 kg. The Exocet family of missiles as we have referred to previous articles have deadly capabilities due to the sea-skimming operation of the missile, i.e. the ability of the missile to fly few meters from the height of the sea (about 2 meters)in order to minimize the recognition of rival radar and infrared seekers and subsequent interception of the missile from the air defense of the target. The Falklands war demonstrated the ability of the missile to destroy or to take out of service large vessels. Hellenic Navy nowadays is in discussions with MBDA to replace these missiles on three boats in the class (HS Mykonios will receive Harpoon) with newer models of the Exocet family such as MM40 block II (70+km) that will come from the first three Roussen class FACM which they will receive the newest MM40 block III (180+km). The missile guidance is inertial in mid-flight until turns on active radar late in its flight (active guidance) to the corresponding trigger point for the detection and locking of its target. In order to minimize the recognition from rival radar and infrared seekers and the subsequent attack of the projectile from the air defense around the target, the system maintains a very low altitude during ingress, staying 1–2m above the sea surface (sea-skimming) while the speed is high approaching 0.9 Mach. Due to the effect of the radar horizon, this means that the target may not detect an incoming attack until the missile is only 6,000m from impact and thus it leaves little time for reaction of the target’s CIWS. The missile has low signature and it has enhanced target discrimination and ECCM making it very difficult to be intercepted.
Except missiles and guns, the boat are armed with two 21in (533mm) single torpedo tubes for SST-4 Atlas torpedoes (SST: surface-to-surface torpedo) with a weight of 1,400 kg, warhead of 250 kg and a maximum speed of 35 knots and 12 km range of active search.The armament complete two MG3 machine guns. Their rate of fire is 1,000-1,300 rounds per minute and the effective firing range is close to 1km.
The vessels of the class were extensively modernized with the exception of their weapon systems and handed over to the Navy the period 2008-2011 featuring the most cutting edge electronic systems (the majority of the new electronic equipment are products of Thales Nederland) similar to those of Roussen class missile boats and Machitis class patrol vessels. In 2010, during the last phase of the modernization programme, one of the Laskos class boats, P-22 Mykonios, was damaged by fire and retired immediately from active service. The work on the boat to bring it back to active service begun in 2014. The boat will be re-commissioned in November of 2016.

The old Triton surveillance radar was replaced by a Variant two-dimensional (2D) multipurpose short-medium range (up to 70km) surveillance radar. Variant, offers surveillance and target indication. Its principal role is as an automatic, fast reaction time radar sensor, supplying targeting data to weapon systems. Automatic target detection and tracking in 2D plus radial speed is supplied for both air and surface targets simultaneously. For surface targets, it offers 3 gunfire channels. Variant includes a dual-band radar, utilizing both the I- and G-bands (X&C-band). Fully coherent, Variant provides pulse-doppler operation for optimal clutter suppression and air target detection without disturbance by multi-path (or lobbing) effects thanks to the dual-frequency. Outstanding ECM facilities are provided by the ability to operate over two frequency bands, an octave apart, and the third part of Variant, an integral Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radar. This LPI radar can be used alone for flexible responsiveness, thus providing Variant the unusual ability to operate in a mode that is almost undetectable to external ESM.
The SCOUT Mk2 is the integrated LPI radar, a short-to-medium range surface surveillance and tactical navigation radar. The system can be operated remotely (radio or line connection). It is an all-weather fully solid-state system of high reliability operating in X-band radar featuring Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave (FMCW) and therefore has an extremely low output power which makes the system ideal for cover operations in hostile environments where radar silence is required and thus its transmissions cannot be detected by ESM systems or radar warning receivers. SCOUT Mk2 outstandingly detects targets in adverse sea clutter conditions, thanks to its very small range cell size. The system is also very suitable for coastal surveillance.Each boat, has two SCOUT, one integrated with Variant radar and one seperate that is integrated with a Bridgemaster navigation radar.
The Decca 1226 navigation radar was replaced by the new Decca/Sperry Marine BridgeMaster E of Northrop Grumman, integrated with SCOUT radar in common antenna, while the fire control radar of Pollux Thomson replaced with LIROD Mk2 fire control tracking system. LIROD Mk 2 is Thales Naval Nederland's lightweight combination of a K-band pencil-beam tracking TWT radar and a TV camera. LIROD Mk 2 has been designed primarily for use as a target tracking system for gunfire control and it can operate either as a main sensor in an autonomous weapon control system or as a secondary sensor, integrated in a combat system configuration. LIROD Mk 2 is particularly suitable for short range all-weather operation where high accuracy is required combined with low-level capability, low susceptibility to jamming and the possibility of passive operation. For upgrade and ship-life-extension-programs (SLEP), the system can be adapted to long range search, identification and classification of asymmetric threats as piracy and insurgency.
In the sensors equipment of the boats it was also installed one MIRADOR electro-optical tracking and fire control system. MIRADOR is a compact, fully optronic observation and weapon control system. The one-piece stealthy sensor head houses a mix of electro- optical sensors for TV surveillance, TV tracking, IR tracking and laser range finding. Its lightweight design enables ultra-quick responses. An ergonomically designed state-of-the-art Human Machine Interface completes the system in a stand-alone configuration. MIRADOR acts as a secondary passive fire control and observation channel on board. The vessels also feature a WISPR-Net communications of INTRACOM Defense Electronics and a terminal Link 11, integrated together with the other weapons, guns, radars, sensors, EW system, chaff launchers and communications in the modern TACTICOS Combat Management System (CMS) of the vessels with 4 Multifunctional Operator Consoles (MOC) Mk3 (more information here).

Additionally, the two old Panda optical targeting systems have been replaced with Target Designation Sights (TDS). Target Designation Sight (TDS) that provides means for optical investigation, target designation and weapon firing. The TDS is equipped with binoculars and the latest version includes a Laser Range Finder. Bearing and elevation data are fed into the CMS system but the TDS can also be used for emergency control of a gun or CIWS system. The importance of the function of the TDS is re-emphasized against asymmetric tactics such as piracy and insurgency. To deceive enemy missiles except the electronic countermeasures, the old system of chaff and flares the boats of the class are equipped with two Hycor RBOC (Rapid-Blooming Chaff) Mk135 launching system which are part of the Mk34 launching system. The launchers are either automatically or semiautomatically controlled by the boat's ESM system. Each launcher is a six-barreled mortar fixed in positions: barrel elevation angles are 55, 65 and 75 deg in pairs.
The HN made a new order from CMN for six (6) new vessels with the main difference that they carry the KDA Penguin Mk2 Mod3 anti-ship missiles. The new class named Kavaloudis class or else type Combattante IIIB. The vessels were built in Hellenic Shipyards and delivered to the Navy in the period 1980-1981. One of the vessels, P-25 Kostakos which was sunk in November 4th, 1996, when it was struck by Samaina a passenger ferry. Four members of the crew lost their lives in that tragic accident.
The vessels of the class have the exact electronic equipment of the Laskos class boats before the undergoing modernization program.

In the electronic equipment of the boats it is included a Thomson-CSF TRS 3220 Pollux Fire Control System (FCS) that is an X-band fire control radar for the Thomson-CSF Vega II weapons control and tactical data system (for missiles and wire-guided torpedoes). Pollux is mainly used in gun control applications. It makes use of a 'fast' conical scan pattern and is circularly polarized. Thomson TRS 3030 Triton is the air/surface surveillance and target indication 2D radar onboard. Triton can detect 2m2 air target at 30-45km. Accuracy in range is 30m. The control of the Penguin missiles is performed by the Penguin Fire Control System 2 (PFCS 2) which receives data from the sensors and the Panda optical director. Panda is an optical fire control system with an onboard ballistic computer. Once the target has been acquired the operator measures its angular velocity by tracking. The navigation radar is a Decca 1226C.
The only modernization that has taken place it is the installation of the DR3000SLW Electronic Support Measures (ESM) system which equips the majority of HN warships, replacing in that way the previous model DR2000 that did not fulfill the expectations of HN. As it has been already mentioned, the armament is the same except the anti-shipping missiles witch is six KDA (former Kongsberg, Norwegian company) Penguin Mk2 mod 3 in six single launchers placed amidships. The boats of the class, as their Laskos sisters, are equipped with two Hycor RBOC (Rapid-Blooming Chaff) Mk135 launching system which are part of the Mk34 launching system. The launchers are either automatically or semiautomatically controlled by the boat's ESM system. Each launcher is a six-barreled mortar fixed in positions: barrel elevation angles are 55, 65 and 75 deg in pairs.
The Penguin missile, is an all-weather fire-and-forget anti-ship missile with a highly accurate inertial navigation system that integrates a high resolution passive IR seeker which provides a high degree of discrimination and target selection. The IR seeker also allows the missile to operate in close proximity to land and in open waters. The passive IR seeker makes it possible to operate close to land while it is unaffected by all known IR decoys and ECM systems. The missile of this Mark has approximately a range of about 34km with a subsonic speed (Mach 0.8) and with a warhead of 120kg. With up to 180 degrees waypoint turn, mid course sea skimming, weaving and erratic maneuvers in the final stage of attack, the missile has advanced penetration capabilities through enemy defense lines. The missile is designed so as to hit the target in the waterline with a downward penetrating angle. The delayed fuze mechanism ensures warhead detonation under the waterline, thus creating maximum damage in the target. Thus, the combination of covert targeting, passive flight path and selectable waypoint manoeuvres makes the Penguin a very effective weapon against surface combatants.

The Penguin missile is ideal for countries like Greece with the high concentration of islands. As it was mentioned, Penguin can fly a course to the target using several different flight paths that enable the missile to fly over and around islands before arriving at the target with no warning. However, because the missile is IR, has limited capabilities in bad weather conditions.
The boats of the class are currently replacing their Penguin launchers and missiles with Harpoon missile launchers which came from older vessels (S148 class FACM, FRAM destroyers). The Harpoon missiles have four times the range of Penguin missiles and thus they increase dramatically the efficiency of boats' armament. |

The Centre for the Development of Christian Ministry @ Trinity Theological College (TTC) which organises courses to equip Christians for lifelong learning, personal growth and ministry will be offering two evening courses from September to November 2016.
This is an historical survey of the Reformation. The course traces the circumstances that gave rise to the Reformation and the different religious, political and cultural forces that coalesced in birthing the Protestant church. It will examine the lives and legacies of some of the prominent reformers and the implications of Karl Barth's comment that "the church is always to be reformed" (Ecclesia semper reformanda est) for our present times.
Instructor: Rev. Dr. Andrew Peh is a faculty of Trinity Theological College and lectures in the area of mission and mission history. He is an alumni of the college (TTC) and Asbury Theological Seminary and his interests are in the history of Christianity in Asia and mission trends in the 21st century. He also serves in the Chinese Annual Conference of the Methodist Church in Singapore as a diaconal minister appointed to Charis Methodist Church.
Various ethical issues challenge Christians today: some as a result of the increased sophistication and pervasiveness of technology, others are dilemmas which arise because Christian values are at variance with the world’s. Since these issues are often contentious and divisive, Christians need to develop a theological framework so as to be able to be salt and light in society, with a posture of humility and grace articulating the Christian view. This course will give us the opportunity and to grow in this knowledge and develop these skills.
Instructor: Dr. Kwa Kiem Kiok teaches at East Asia School of Theology in the areas of Intercultural Studies as well as ethics. She has worked in both para-church organisations as well as her home church, Trinity Methodist Church. When she's not working, she enjoys listening to classical music and reading detective novels.

Sunday Picnics: Always a part of French life in the new world, these affairs continued to the time of my youth. My mother and grandmother told wonderful stories about them. They were ongoing forums for gossip, socializing, news, discussions, eating, drinking, and the occasional “friendly fights” so common to the French culture in the new world.
The American Government: This presented another ambivalence for the now French-Americans which will play into book five. As Jacques Allard told Hamtramck, most French stayed where they were: either in Détroit or Sandwich (now Windsor) with little regard to the government. Again they remained aloof.
Following the old voyageur river trail to the Ohio our heroes arrive at St. Louis, the last real outpost. From there they take the Missouri River to the Great Falls in what is now Montana. During this time the boys learn trapping, trading and the ways of the Native Americans of the West with no small amount of adventure, danger, and some teenage romance.
During my early days of researching Allard family history I was stymied by Jacques Allard. The records of Quebec showed him born in 1746, and my fellow Canadian researchers thought he died at the age of 15, as he disappeared from the Canadian records after the fall of Quebec in 1760. However my research in Detroit showed him married at Ste. Anne on Feb. 7, 1780 and dying in Detroit in 1814. The records of both Quebec and Detroit are filled with census and other records from that time with no trace of him—where was Jacques between 1760 and 1780?? Finally an obscure note found in the bowels of the Burton Library listed him at Fort Pontchartrain with occupation listed as Voyageur! This morsel of information led me to what may be the most exciting adventure in The Allard Series.
When I conceived of writing the history of the Allards, it was the story of Jacques Allard I was most anxious to tell. A young boy, who leaves his family at a critical junction in history becoming a true voyageur and later the first Allard citizen of Détroit, his lifetime encompasses a vital period in the development of Cadillac’s city in the wilderness as well as that of the American nation.
Following the death of his father during the fall of Quebec in 1761, young Jacques Allard leaves his home forever to travel with the famous voyageur, Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, through the outpost of Detroit to the great west in search of the elusive Northwest Passage. It is here he learns the true ways of the wild, returning to Detroit to find progress disrupted by the Indian wars under the great chief, Pontiac.
Three years later, the peace is brief as American colonists speak of rebellion. Although the French-Canadians are mixed on their allegiance, many like Jacques are certain they dislike the British and travel east to aid the colonists in their quest for independence.
Okay Allard Fans, I’m back ready to blog about BOOK FOUR: THE VOYAGEUR. In addition to discussing the content and related research, I will try to point out what is fact and what ‘could be’ fact. As always, if you have questions I am happy to hear them and respond to you personally or in subsequent blogs. |
There IS a Brighter World!
I received the kernel of this message in a few seconds around 4am on the morning of January 1, 2007. I wept tears of joy. This is an attempt to capture that knowing.
We've grown accustomed to thinking of the universe as a dark place with small pinpoints of light called "suns" that fill tiny parts of the darkness. There is a brighter world. A place of light where our universe appears as a tiny speck of darkness. A speck of darkness that cries out, for what reason the Beings of Light cannot imagine, but they want to love the blinders from us so that we can see the brighter world.
The darkness we see all around is but a shroud over the brighter world. It covers the light, but it does not itself have any substance. Evil isn't real. Evil is but a veil over the brightness, a covering of the real, a mask over the world of light, a temporary forgetting of our true nature. Yes, evil can kill you, but death simply awakens you to bask in the brighter world until enough naps in this dark universe finally enable you to waken permanently to the real.
Birth into this dark universe is a temporary forgetting of that reality. Some do it for play. Some do it in an attempt to rescue those who have completely forgotten the light. Most are stuck here, with a latent memory of the light, a desire to believe in it, but blinded by the darkness into thinking that it is real. It is not. Evil isn't real. Darkness isn't real.
Imagine it. Seek it out. Aim your dreams at it. Desire it. Want it. Become it.
There is a brighter world. You are living in it right now. Focus on the light and the darkness will fall away. The brighter world is your birthright. The brighter world is the only reality. The brighter world is your home. Find it. Live it. |

Since the birth of the smartphone, Google, Apple, and Android have been working to make newer models appropriate for… well, everything. Not only are they a source of entertainment — they are becoming equally health-centered. But smartphones cater to everyone, including amateur and professional photographers. This new algorithm edits phone photos before you even take them.
Because of resolution issues, the algorithm processes in low-quality, later scaling up results without ruining the image. Using this mechanism, the app uses only a hundredth of the phone’s memory. Like most sterling apps, it also comes with additional features.
Does this mean my work has the potential to exhibit at the MET? While the app makes photography seem easy, let’s not forget that snapping a great picture also takes a level of skill. |

This year, the 65th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival is being celebrated with a mixture of well-known international auteurs and rising star Hollywood talents. This balance between auteur films and glamour, which has become a traditional formula for the competition line-up, has been couched as "a voyage through cinematographies around the world", as festival general delegate Thierry Fremaux pointed out in his introduction to the program.
To mark this special milestone in its glorious history, the "Festival de Cannes" has devoted nearly three-quarters of its main competition program to festival loyalists: Alain Resnais, Jacques Audiard, Michael Haneke, Abbas Kiarostami, Ken Loach, Leos Carax, David Cronenberg, Matteo Garrone, Walter Salles, Thomas Vinterberg, Hong Sang-soo, Im Sang-soo, Carlos Reygadas, Ulrich Seidl, Cristian Mungiu and Sergei Loznitza, all of whom have been in competition in previous years. Among these respectable auteurs Loach, Kiarostami, Mungiu and Haneke have previously won the Golden Palm. A director not in this elite Cannes club that will have a place in the competition program for the first time is Egypt's Yousry Nasrallah with his post-Arab Spring film.
This year, a very important competition program ingredient is a strong selection of no less than five US films. Last time this happened was in 2007, with the Coen Brothers, Quentin Tarantino, Gus Van Sant, James Gray and David Fincher in the line-up. This time, these films have been made by newcomers to the competition: Wes Anderson, Andrew Dominik, John Hillcoat, Jeff Nichols and Lee Daniels. Their participation will, as expected, bring not only star wattage of Hollywood glamour to the "Palais des Festival" red carpet on the Croisette, but should also represent the new young voices of American cinema today.
Offering a certain corrective selection to the competition, the Directors' Fortnight and Critics' Week sections offer work from a very fine selection of auteurs from all sides of the world. Among them are some well-knowns such as Pablo Trapero, William Vega, Nelson Pereira Dos Santos, Pablo Larrain, Lou Ye, Koji Wakamatsu, Jaochim Lafosse and Xavier Dolan, and some directors with first features such as Brandon Cronenberg, Benh Zeitlin, Ashim Ahluwalia and Adam Leon.
Michael Haneke and Alain Resnais: Ballad With Love and Death. In the competition of the 65th Cannes Film Festival, two directors look at death, in their own different ways: Michael Haneke with Love (Amour) and Alain Resnais with You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet (Vous n'avez encore rien vu).
A Sense of Wonder. Benh Zeitlin's debut has created a dazzling imaginary universe with a scope that feels real and cuts to the heart according to Ronald Rovers.
Father figures as recurring characters in Cannes' lineup. "Fatherhood, as both a challenge and a chance to become a better man, has been one of the recurring themes of the 65th edition of the Cannes Film Festival" — By Paola Casella.
Un Certain Regard: Diversity But Not Always Quality. "Going to see films in Un Certain Regard always causes hope and enthusiasm but we have to admit that this year, many hopes were dashed" — says Laura Laufer.
The Tragic Nun's Connection. "Beyond The Hills by Christian Mungiu is a deeply emotional and heart breaking film. Like its two main female protagonists, it is bipolar, both depressive and ecstatic." Borislav Andjelic's review.
A Song of Joy and Despair. Four years after Tony Manero impressed Cannes, and one and a half years after the Venice première of Post Mortem, No closes a trilogy that portrays Chile in the times of the coup and under the dictatorship. Pamela Biénzobas reviews.
The Return of American Independent Cinema? Is this really American Independent Cinema? This initial thought grew into a nagging doubt which frequently reared its head over the course of the festival. Review by Beatrice Behn.
In the Fog: A Film of Lasting Power and Relevance. Rita Di Santo reviews FIPRESCI winner Sergei Loznitsa's In the Fog.
Quinzaine 2012: An Overview of the New Authors. For Rui Tandinha this year's Quinzaine offered some good cinematic hopes, starting with Rengaine, by Rachid Djaidani. |

Sanders County has three active airports in Thompson Falls, Plains and Hot Springs. Addresses are featured below. If you have any questions, please contact the appropriate airport manager.
THOMPSON FALLS AIRPORT HAS FUEL-The new fuel system at the TF Airport is in operation as of December 2016, and is comparable to those systems at other Montana general aviation airports, such as Libby, Superior, Polson, Ronan, and Stevensville. Thompson Falls Airport Board members have been lobbying for a county-owned fuel system at the airport for 8 years, and project contributors include: Sanders County (Owner), Robert Peccia & Associates (Engineer), Bjorn Johnson Construction (Contractor), Mascott Equipment (Equipment and assembly). The project was funded with FAA non-primary entitlement funds. This money comes from aviation fuel taxes and passenger ticket taxes. Additional funding came from a MT Dept. of Transportation grant. The MDT grant came from a fund collected from MT state aviation fuel taxes. There was also a private donor who contributed $15,000 to help with the initial fuel purchase. A portion of the taxes paid on the sale of the fuel from this tank will go back to the state and federal funds that helped to fund this fuel system. The new fuel system installed at the Thompson Falls Airport will contain up to 6000 gallons of 100 octane Low Lead (100LL) aviation fuel for piston engine aircraft. It will be available to the flying public 24/7/365 via a self-serve credit card terminal. If any problems incur while using the credit card system, please call 827-6924. |
Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis was the first of the OFP series, developed by BI and published by Codemasters in 2001.
The story is set in 1985 on a group of three islands - Kolgujev, Malden and Everon. The Soviet Union is in turmoil after Mikhail Gorbachev is designated General Secretary of the Communist Party. Not everyone is willing to accept his leadership, including General Ivan Vasilii Guba, leader of a well-equipped army based on Kolgujev. Guba attacks nearby Everon, an independant republic, sparking an international flashpoint. The NATO base on Malden is alerted and the plot progresses from there.
The player begins in the role of Private David Armstrong, fresh from training on Malden and under the supervision of his commanding officer Sergeant Arnold Berghoff. As the missions progress, depending on the player's performance, Armstrong is promoted and can command a squad of his own.
Cold War Crisis includes 41 missions contained in a file called 1985.pbo within the OperationFlashpoint\Campaigns directory.

We thought we’d try something summery and fun (think Mojitos on your favourite patio.) Minus the booze, and throw in a bright yellow 2009 MX5.
The concept came about when I realized that so many of us have fallen in love with RuPaul’s Drag Race. Plus, let’s face it, we can all let our hair down from time to time and bust out a tune louder than Adam when he ________! Warmer weather along with a convertible that I recently received from work, we decided to give you: LIP SYNC FOR YA’LIFE!
It’s simple, I’ll take out a few Homorazzi cast members, have a little Q&A while we cruise around Vancouver and finally have the selected cast member lip sync! Three envelopes. One choice. One chance, and the best part? You get to judge….
Did Patrick Lip Sync for his life?
Who would you like to see Lip Sync for their life next?

What do the manager of the Spain football squad, a muse of eroticism and the author of “Caperucita en Manhattan” (“Little Red Riding Hood in Manhattan”) all have in common? At first sight, not much, but in fact they all share the same birthplace: Salamanca.
Spain manager Del Bosque, actress Charo López and novelist Carmen Martín Gaite were all born in Salamanca, as were many other well-known personalities from the worlds of sport, culture and entertainment.
Vicente del Bosque was born in the busy Garrido district and when he left there to play football at the age of 18 he could hardly have imagined that one day he would be named a person of honour there for having taken the Spanish national football team right to the top.
Also a member of the national football team and a native of Salamanca –although he only lived here until he was four– is right-back, Álvaro Arbeloa. Another former footballer who is now a vocalist with the group Pignoise, is Salamanca’s Álvaro Benito. A cyclist, who took the name of Salamanca to the front pages, is four-time winner of the “La Vuelta” cycle race, Roberto Heras who hails from Béjar.
Moving onto a different field – that of stage and screen, Salamanca has produced some memorable actors and actresses. These include Charo López, who took her first steps on stage at the University of Salamanca theatre before rising to fame in the TV series “Los Gozos y las Sombras” (“The Joys and the Shadows”) and, from the latest crop of thespians, Silvia Alonso, the young protagonist of the series “Tierra de Lobos” (“Land of Wolves “).
The city of Salamanca is intimately linked with culture and the arts, for centuries it has been the cradle of linguists and writers such as Beatriz Galindo (Latin teacher to Queen Isabella I), Juan del Encina and Carmen Martín Gaite, author of “Entre visillos” and “Caperucita en Manhattan” amongst other works.
Other famous “Charros” as those from the province of Salamanca are known, include news reader Carme Chaparro, humourist Quequé and film critic Carlos Boyero. |
All UK market Dolomites changed from single line to tandem on a date around the end of 1978, the change being prompted by govt legislation. The ACTUAL date is not known, but it coincides, as far as I can tell from extensive research, with the introduction of the so called "series IV" Sprint, commission number VA 30000>. Some export market cars for certain countries had tandem brakes as early as 1972, these cars had a different master cylinder to the later UK tandem cars.
But the cars have been around long enough that quite a few earlier cars have been retrofitted with dual circuit brakes, including my own 73 Toledo and 78 (May) Sprint Auto. Both of which came into my possession as single line cars. Which is enough to confuse any one!
When I first got a sprint in 1992 I could not believe it had a single line brake system. My TR5 that I had owned a decade earlier had a dual and it showed the effects of a company ruled by bean counters rather than engineers. |

Background: The trials comparing Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (MIDCABG) with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) for proximal Left Anterior Descending Artery (LAD) stenosis show conflicting results.
Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for randomized controlled trials reporting clinical outcomes of MIDCABG vs PCI in patients with single vessel proximal LAD coronary artery disease. The effect estimates were pooled using Der-Simonian and Laird random-effects meta-analysis models.
Results: Eight randomized trials comprising of 1, 161 patients met inclusion criteria. Median follow up was 18 months (range 6 months to 10 years). Over 6 to 12 month follow up, need for any coronary intervention was significantly lower in MIDCABG compared to PCI [Risk Ratio (RR): 0.28; 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.16-0.49]. All-cause mortality, myocardial infarction and recurrence of angina were not significantly different among two groups over near or long term [Fig. 1]. Upon follow up of more than a year, Target Vessel Revascularization (RR: 0.30; CI: 0.20-0.46) and need for any coronary intervention (RR: 0.28; CI: 0.15-0.50) were significantly lower in MIDCABG group.
Conclusions: The MIDCABG reduces target vessel revascularizations and need for any coronary intervention in comparison to PCI for single vessel proximal LAD stenosis without increased all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction and recurrence of angina. |
Catastrophic storms and an overall depressed economy have forced many Puerto Ricans to migrate to Florida. Over the past few years, over 100 people have made the journey to Florida every single day. The numbers might only be increasing. Once safely settled in the U.S. however, these residents often need vital records documents, such as birth certificates, which have proven hard to get from Puerto Rico.
Fortunately, as the Orlando Sentinel recently reported, Puerto Ricans can now get their vital records at a new office that has opened: the Integrated Services Center (CSI) in Orlando. Typically, Puerto Ricans could only order their vital records by mail or online, and they often had to wait up to 45 days before the records arrived. Now, the records will be issued immediately, which makes things much easier.
Why Might You Need Vital Records?
There are many reasons you might need them. If you are applying for a job or government benefits, you will most likely need a birth certificate. If you are divorcing, you most likely need a copy of your marriage certificate.
A death certificate can help you close financial accounts and handle a loved one’s assets. It might also be necessary to show that you are the true owner of property, if the deceased was once the owner.
Also, if you are sued for failing to pay child support, you can use a certification to show that you have remained up to date. Without the documentation, a judge might enter an order against you for arrearages and garnish your wages.
The CSI office is located at 6925 Lake Ellenor Drive, Suite 100. Its hours are Monday through Friday, 11:30am to 3:30 pm.
The new CSI should make things much easier on our state’s new residents. Before, Puerto Ricans living in Florida had to travel back to the island or give a family member a power of attorney to request the documents. These options were impracticable for many people. Now, thankfully, Puerto Ricans can get reliable records in a timely manner.

Although many Vermonters are flocking to Cuba, few have lifelong connections with the island nation. Bristol resident and musician Rick Ceballos will share his story and images of the trip that reconnected him with his Cuban heritage in Cuba: A Personal Journey at the Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol on Thursday, May 12 at 7:00pm. The presentation is hosted by the One World Library Project.
Ceballos’s father, Alfonso Ceballos, grew up in Moron, a rural area in eastern Cuba. He left for America in 1929 as an adventurous teenager and made his way to Manhattan, where he managed to find work and thrive despite the impact of the Depression. While there, he met and married Rick’s mother and moved with her to western Pennsylvania, where they eventually opened a restaurant and raised a family.
Ceballos traveled to Cuba with his family twice as a young child, but after Castro came to power, they never returned. Over the years his family lost touch with most of their Cuban relatives. His father, a colorful character who sang Cuban songs but spoke little about his life in Cuba, was his son’s only connection to his heritage.
After his father’s death in 1999, Ceballos became increasingly interested in Cuban culture. This past January, he finally returned to his father’s homeland with his wife, Alice Leeds. They spent two weeks traveling throughout the western half of the island. While there, Ceballos reunited with a cousin living in Havana. They had not seen each other for over sixty years.
During the presentation, Ceballos will share stories and images of his trip and will discuss the impact of reconnecting with his Cuban heritage. Ceballos and his wife visited cultural and historic sites and enjoyed the natural beauty of the mountains, beaches, woodlands and farms of Cuba.
As a musician, Ceballos became enchanted with the lively melodies and instruments he heard throughout the country. Upon his return to Vermont, he acquired and began playing the tres cubano, a guitar-like instrument with three pairs of strings. Ceballos will share a melody he wrote for the tres about his trip.
One World Library has added several titles to its collection in honor of this presentation. These include the memoir, Tastes Like Cuba: An Exile’s Hunger for Home by Eduardo Machado; Cuba and its Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo by Ned Sublette; and Christina Garcia’s novel, Dreaming in Cuban, which was a finalist for the National Book Award. |

I came across this product today and wanted to share some information on it. Since this site is primarily focused on cleansing and detoxing, I felt this is the perfect product to review. The Colon Detox Plus is the natural detox cleanse as you will see.

It’s well known that CBD oil is extracted from hemp plants, but it’s sometimes unclear how this cannabis derivative may affect drug test results. Drug screenings are searching for another compound—THC, or the primary psychoactive element in cannabis strains. Fortunately for CBD enthusiasts, it’s unlikely to cause a false positive on a drug test, but it’s not entirely unheard of.
If you have consumed or inhaled marijuana extracts that are THC-heavy, it’s possible that CBD consumption may prolong the existence of THC in your system. In this case, it may take longer than expected for lingering traces of THC to leave your body. Although when used on its own, CBD oil shouldn’t result in a positive test result for THC, since there is less than 0.3 percent of the compound in hemp and CBD products.
Although CBD has an ineffective amount of THC that won’t get you high, some say that it may alter drug test results if you take too much in a short amount of time. It is improbable, but Remedy Review notes that doses exceeding 2,000mg of CBD or more in one day might result in a false positive. However, this amount of CBD use is uncommon for one person to use in a day, and you’d probably be reducing the effectiveness of the oil. To put this into perspective, you’d have to use 2 full bottles of Rosebud’s strongest CBD oil, which is highly unlikely—a few drops usually does the trick.
The best way to ensure that a drug test is unaffected by CBD is to make sure that the products you are using have an accurate ingredient list, and lab test results to back this up. Third party testing offers some transparency to see exactly what you’re putting in your body, which is important information for any wellness supplement. It’s also necessary to follow proper dosing guidelines to get the most benefit out of CBD oil. |
