Aims to make the US manufacturer profitable within the next four to six quarters following the completion of its £1.82 billion acquisition of the company
Lenovo has vowed to return Motorola Mobility to profitability within 18 months, after its £1.82 billion purchase of the US firm from Google was finally completed on October 30.
Lenovo chairman and chief executive officer Yang Yuanqing said:“Motorola brings a strong presence in the US, North America and Latin America, as well as an iconic brand. Lenovo has a strong presence in China and other emerging markets. Motorola benefits from Lenovo’s operational excellence and reach and are confident the business can become profitable in four to six quarters”.
Motorola will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary, with the brand and trademark remaining.
Its headquarters in Chicago will also remain, with Lenovo integrating nearly 3,500 global Motorola employees, 2,800 of which are based in the US.
Google will maintain ownership of an unspecified majority of Motorola’s patent portfolio, with the latter receiving a license to this and other intellectual property. It will also retain over 2,000 patent assets.
Out of the black
As a result of the acquisition, Lenovo executive vice president and president of its Mobile Business Group Liu Jun has become chairman of the Motorola Management Board, while Rick Osterloh remains as president and COO of Motorola.
In a conference call with analysts to discuss the acquisition shortly after it was announced, Yang said he is confident of taking Motorola out of the black within the next four-to-six quarters.
In July, Google revealed it made a loss of $68 million in Q2 (three months ending June 30), but this compared favourably to a heavy deficit of $454 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Motorola doubled unit sales from a year earlier to 8.6 million, while revenue was up by almost a quarter to $15.96 billion.
Yang said that by combining capabilities and expansive global reach from both organisations and replicating its success in the PC market, Motorola will once again be a force to be reckoned with in the global smartphone space.
According to analyst Gartner, Lenovo maintained its position as the world’s leading PC vendor in Q3. Sales were up 11.4 per cent year-on-year to 15.7 million units, with its market share rising 2.1 per cent from a year ago to 19.8 per cent.
“We have achieved another successful milestone with the completion of the acquisition of Motorola Mobility,” said Yang.
“It is already winning in the market and its recent results show why it can be such a strong growth engine for Lenovo in the future.
“We have important work ahead of us to integrate the companies but as this is one of our core strengths, Lenovo and Motorola will collaborate to create a stronger and tougher competitor in the global market. We have done this before in PCs, and we will do it again in smartphones.”

Shiba inus are awesome dogs, and they definitely have very unique personalities. This is our shiba inu, Hoju (semi-obscure Simpsons reference), at our wedding. He’s now 10 years old, but when we got him, he was only 8 weeks old and could fit in the palm of your hand.
Like all dogs, shibas are extremely food-motivated, love to play with toys, and spend a lot of time itching themselves and sleeping. But, personalitywise, they are pretty different than most dogs.
Shibas are independent. If you’re looking for an affectionate dog that loves to cuddle and craves attention, shibas are not it. Hoju pretty much follows us around everywhere, but he’d much rather be a few feet away than in our laps. He only likes being pet on his terms.
Shibas are loyal and territorial. Shibas tend to really love their owners but not care so much for anyone else. And as a result, they worry a lot about protecting their owners, so they’re very territorial. When Hoju meets other people or dogs in public, he’s totally calm, but when people come to our house, he goes nuts. Anytime friends come over, he barks really aggressively at them for about two minutes, just so they know who’s boss, and then he totally gets over it. He’s a really awesome dog when it’s just me and my wife at home, but all of our friends think he’s a jerk because of how territorial he is, which is actually a big part of the charm because everyone tries to play a game to see who can get away with petting the jerk-dog. Hoju is not amused by this game.
Shibas get a lot of attention in public. Everywhere you go, people will come up to you and say things like “Is that a fox?” or “OMG, it’s the Doge!” or “That’s a beautiful dog!”
Shibas have a ton of energy when they’re young. As a puppy, Hoju used to just spend hours running sprints around our apartment. We would take him to the park and he would just explode—he especially liked to provoke dogs five times his size. Shibas also aren’t really off-leash dogs, so if you take them to public parks, you really shouldn’t allow them off-leash unless the spaces are enclosed or there’s enough space that you’re away from streets. Having an enclosed backyard helps a lot.
Shibas clean themselves, just like cats. As a result, they don’t really get that strong dog smell as much as other breeds.
Shibas are smart and stubborn. Sometimes, you try to get a shiba to do something, and he just gives you this look that says, “I know exactly what you’re saying, but I fundamentally disagree (unless you’re holding a treat).”
Shibas shed a lot. A few times a year, shibas go through a massive shedding period, with dog hair everywhere. Pretty much forget about wearing black while this is happening.

Have you lately watched any TV shows like Young Sheldon? Smart children have been featured in a lot of television programs.
The children frequently provide good laughs in the majority of sitcoms. It goes beyond intelligent to eccentric, arrogant, and awkward in Young Sheldon.
Sheldon Cooper, age 9, is the main character, and it introduces us to his home in the fictional Texas town of Medford in 1989–1990.
Sheldon struggles to recognize common social signs despite being socially awkward and exceptionally intelligent, which causes several amusing situations.
The show’s continued existence is evidence of Young Sheldon’s appeal to viewers and critics alike.
Young Sheldon is hilarious and clever, and we love him for his peculiar characteristics.
In light of this, we have compiled a list of the top shows comparable to TV shows like Young Sheldon.
These TV shows like Young Sheldon, are available on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.
1. Jane The Virgin (2014-2019)
- Creator: Jennie Snyder Urman
- Star Cast: Andrea Navedo, Gina Rodriguez, Yael Grobglas, Justin Baldoni, Jaime Camil, Ivonne Coll, and Anthony Mendez
- IMDb Ratings: 7.9/10
Young Latina waitress Jane, who practices religion, works in a hotel in Miami. When her doctor artificially inseminates her at her appointment, her life takes a significant turn for the unforeseen.
Jane’s traditional religious Latina grandma, Alba, supports Jane in doing what she desires.
Meanwhile, Jane’s mother, Xiomara, who gave birth to Jane at a young age, worries that Jane will be ruining her life by electing to carry the baby to full term.
Rafael Solano, a married cancer survivor, and former playboy is the real dad. He was Jane’s girl crush and is now the hotel’s new owner.
Rafael’s immoral and cunning wife, Petra, learns of the error and devises a plan for herself.
Additionally, Petra is having an affair with Rafael’s closest buddy Roman Zazo, who is likewise coping with Jane’s surprising actions in his manner.
However, these actions are being looked into by Michael Cordero, the police detective who is dating Jane.
Rafael’s younger sister Dr. Luisa Alver, the physician who artificially inseminated Jane, is upset about finding out that her wife betrayed and left her.
Rogelio de la Vega, a well-known TV personality and, unknown to her, Jane’s birth dad, appears elsewhere and asks to speak with Xiomara. He is utterly ignorant of Jane’s existence.
2. The Big Bang Theory (2007-2019)
- Creators: Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady
- Star Cast: Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg, Kaley Cuoco, Melissa Rauch, Kunal Nayyar, and Mayim Bialik
- IMDb Ratings: 8.2/10
The show’s original cast consisted of five people who lived in Pasadena, California: physicists Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, who share a residence.
Penny is a waitress and striving actress who lives across the hall; Raj Koothrappali and Howard Wolowitz are both similarly nerdy and socially awkward friends and colleagues of Leonard and Sheldon.
The Big Bang Theory prequel Young Sheldon uses the same characters and comedic tone as the main series. This series is one of the best TV shows like Young Sheldon.
The Big Bang Theory is a classic, straightforward sitcom with a plot about four withdrawn boys whose lives change after they meet a girl. The show succeeds solely through dialogue and expression.
Fans of Young Sheldon will most likely enjoy The Big Bang Theory, which acts as a sort of prologue to the series.
Fans look at Sheldon Cooper’s childhood and the family he frequently spoke to on the show.
The Big Bang Theory featured some family members, such as his mother, Mary, sister Missy, and occasionally even his meemaw Connie.
When Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Leonard Hofstader meet Penny, a former actress who is now a waiter at The Cheesecake Factory and is still unsuccessful, their lives are forever changed.
As they struggle socially, Penny decides to teach them about the world they already know everything about but have no idea how to navigate. Howard and Rajesh, two friends, are traveling with us.
3. Small Wonder (1985-1989)
- Creator: Howard Leeds
- Star Cast: Marla Pennington, Richard Christie, Jerry Supiran, Emily Schulman, Tiffany Brissette, William Bigert, and Paul C. Scott
- IMDb Ratings: 7/10
The plots center around V.I.C.I., an android disguised as a 10-year-old girl (Voice Input Child Identicant, pronounced “Vicki”).
Ted Lawson, an engineer and inventor for United Robotronics created Vicki to help disabled children.
Lawson brings the robot home so it can develop in a family setting. Vicki has superhuman strength and speed, a data port under her left arm, an access panel in her back, and an A.C. outlet under her right arm.
Vicki is an orphan, but the Lawson family initially tries to pass her off as their daughter, who they have legally adopted. The Lawson family tries to keep the robot’s presence a secret.
Still, the Brindles, particularly nosy next-door neighbor Harriet, whose father also happens to be Ted Lawson’s coworker, keep showing up at the most inconvenient times.
Vicki’s attempts to understand human behavior, her unheard-of echolalia, and the robot’s literal interpretation of speech.
And also, the family’s futile attempts to hide the robot’s true nature all contributed to the comedy of the episode.
The show’s creators had Ted give Vicki an update in the third season to help explain Tiffany Brissette, who played Tiffany, aging throughout the series.
He gave her an older look, put her in contemporary clothing, and gave her food and drink.
She naturally digested the food, and the liquid chilled her insides. This piece is one of the best TV shows like Young Sheldon
4. Smart Guy (1997-1999)
- Creators: Danny Kallis, Brian Suskind
- Star Cast: Tahj Mowry, John Marshall Jones, Jason Weaver, Omar Gooding, J.D. Walsh, Essence Atkins, and Jim Ward
- IMDb Ratings: 7.4/10
Smart Guy features one of the top ten sharpest young geniuses on television and one of the first examples of a young genius on screen. T.J. Henderson, a 10-year-old boy, shares Sheldon’s intelligence to the point where he skips several grades and moves to a high school.
Like Sheldon, his older brother is unhappy that his younger brother would attend the same school.
The show, based in Washington, D.C., is about the follies of boy genius and youngest child T.J. Henderson.
When he is ten years old, he transfers from elementary school to Piedmont High School, where he eventually ends up as a high school freshman with teenagers as his classmates.
He must become used to living with older high school students who aren’t necessarily wiser, like his brother Marcus and Marcus’ best buddy Mo.
In most episodes, T.J. makes mistakes while trying to blend in as a young genius in high school and contrasts his intelligence with his underachieving brother.
Marcus Henderson, the middle child and older brother, struggle with typical teenage issues, including finding a date and doing his schoolwork (though he sometimes tries to get T.J. to do his homework for him).
Since his wife’s passing, their father, Floyd Henderson (John Marshall Jones), a widowed single parent running his own roofing company, has struggled to raise his three children, Yvette, Marcus, and T.J.
5. Wonders Years (1988-1993)
- Creators: Neal Marlens, Carol Black
- Star Cast: Fred Savage, Dan Lauria, Alley Mills, Jason Hervey, Danica McKellar, Josh Saviano, and Daniel Stern
- IMDb Ratings: 8.4/10
From 1968 to 1973, spanning the ages of 12 through 17, the series shows a boy’s social and family life in a typical American suburban middle-class family.
In the series, every year occurs precisely 20 years before it airs (1988 to 1993).
Kevin Arnold, the son of Jack and Norma Arnold, is the show’s main character.
Kevin’s mother is a stay-at-home mom, while his father works as a manager for the defense firm N.O.R.C.O.M. Wayne, Kevin’s older brother, and Karen, his older sister, are also family members.
Paul Pfeiffer, Kevin’s best buddy, and Gwendolyn “Winnie” Cooper, his crush-turned-girlfriend, are two of his friends and neighbors featured throughout the entire series.
The narratives are revealed through Kevin’s reflections as an adult in his mid-30s. This Series is one of the best TV shows like Young Sheldon.
6. Modern Family (2009-2020)
- Creators: Steven Levitan, Christopher Lloyd
- Star Cast: Sofía Vergara, Ed O’Neill, Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, and Rico Rodriguez
- IMDb Ratings: 8.5/10
The family dynamic in Modern Family is a complex yet accurate representation of the several families in American culture.
The actors and crew of the show deliver dark and honest humor that was shown throughout, and it also covers racism, gender inequity, and repressive forces in society.
The patriarch of a vast, unusual family is Jay Pritchett. Jay has been given a second chance and is married to his beautiful young bride Gloria.
It’s a test of will, though, as he tries to adjust to life with the same enthusiasm and intensity that Gloria demonstrates, mirrored by her brilliant 12-year-old son Manny.
There are some misunderstandings and cultural differences, but many beautiful successes along the way.
The proud parents of three children, Claire, Jay’s grown daughter, and her husband Phil want an open, wholesome, and honest connection with their offspring. It’s not always simple, especially when you have Luke, a rambunctious boy.
Alex, the middle daughter, is too brilliant for her excellent, and Haley, a teenage daughter, is growing up a little too quickly. Add to this the fact that Phil, despite his best efforts, is just a big child himself.
The anchor is Claire, who is doing her best to keep everything under control and is determined to save her children from the rebellious youth she experienced.
Mitchell, the brother of Claire, and Cameron, his partner, are busy raising Lily, their adopted daughter.
In this family, opposites attract because Mitchell is more buttoned-down and Cameron has a lovely, prominent personality with perhaps a flair for the spectacular.
7. Fuller House (2016-2020)
- Creator: Jeff Franklin
- Star Cast: Jodie Sweetin, Fox Messitt, Candace Cameron Bure, Andrea Barber, Michael Campion, Elias Harger, and Soni Bringas
- IMDb Ratings: 6.7/10
A precursor to the previous television program Full House is the 2016-released Netflix original series Fuller House.
The original Full House series’ viewers were the primary target audience for the five seasons that the show ran.
The show’s attempt to appeal to an existing fan base resulted in unfavorable reviews. It did, however, deliver a few laughs, which is what a sitcom is supposed to do.
As the title suggests, this one also emphasizes family issues. The program centers on a mother of three who loses her spouse and turns to her family for support while she raises her kids.
The program’s plot uses clichés extensively, but it does it in a way that keeps it engaging.
A follow-up to Full House, Fuller House focused on the life of D.J., the oldest Tanner daughter. But Max, her kid, was the star of every scene.
Max was a bright, intelligent student who enjoyed dressing up like Sheldon in trousers and button-ups.
The program explores racial, social, and economic issues from various perspectives, and viewers get to hear Rock’s opinions on most of the on-screen actions.
The show is fierce and truthful. When you talk about TV shows like Young Sheldon, this is one of them.
8. Everybody Hates Chris (2005-2009)
- Creators: Ali LeRoi, Chris Rock
- Star Cast: Terry Crews, Tichina Arnold, Imani Hakim, Tequan Richmond, Vincent Martella, Tyler James Williams, and Chris Rock
- IMDb Ratings: 7.5/10
Chris Rock, an Emmy Award-winning actor, and comedian, tells this incredibly funny and moving tale of a teenager growing up in 1982 in Brooklyn, New York, as the oldest of three children. His own childhood experiences inspired Rock. Chris turns 13 in the year 1982.
Chris relocates with his family from the projects to the “Bed-Stuy: Do or Die” area, where he dreams of becoming an excellent adolescent.
He is looking after his younger brother Drew, who is taller and more self-assured than Chris, and sister Tonya, who receives all of the parents’ attention while at work as the family’s emergency adult.
Julius, Chris’s gruff and frugal father, works multiple jobs to feed his family adequately.
Rochelle, the sassy mother, manages the home on a limited budget, is quite severe and works part-time in a small real estate company.
Chris reluctantly endures many daily bus transfers to attend Corleone Junior High in the passionately Italian community of South Shore.
That was because his mother was keen to see him in a decent school, even if Drew and Tonya attended the same school in their old neighborhood.
Chris is a clear target for bullies, but thanks to his natural charm and quick wit, he can make new friends like Greg, another intelligent, friendly kid who can’t fight. This piece is one of the TV shows like Young Sheldon.
9. Two and a Half Men (2003-2015)
- Creators: Lee Aronsohn, Chuck Lorre
- Star Cast: Jon Cryer, Ashton Kutcher, Conchata Ferrell, Angus T. Jones, Charlie Sheen, Holland Taylor, and Marin Hinkle
- IMDb Ratings: 7.1/10
Twelve seasons of the television show Two and a Half Men were broadcast between 2003 and 2015.
It was one of the most well-liked shows of the time, and Ashton Kutcher played the lead role.
The wealthy man at the center of the story allows his desperate brother and his brother’s son to live with him.
Of course, when the two visitors remain longer than expected, the interim arrangement disintegrates, and mayhem reigns.
Like Young Sheldon, Two and a Half Men examines familial themes and the underlying humor.
Charlie and Alan Harper, brothers, are almost opposed, but they make a fantastic combination.
Other than their loathing of Evelyn and their banal, maternally chilly, and bossy mother, they don’t have anything in common.
Alan, a controlling and obsessively clean doctor, is kicked out by his manipulative wife, Judith.
However, she still manages to persuade him to pay for everything and handle most household chores.
Charlie is a self-employed jingle composer and seductive Cassanova who stays up late and lives in a lavish beach mansion.
After Alan’s divorce/separation, Charlie “temporarily” permits Alan and his lazy, food-obsessed son Jake to move in with them. Jake lives with both of his parents.
The comedy is focused on their opposing lives, parenting Jake (who has a great time with his fun-loving sugar uncle, who teaches him manly things while having a great time with his practical, caring dad).
Charlie’s housekeeper Berta and his wealthy, self-described stalker neighbor Rose, who frequently sneaks in to watch on Charlie, are other somewhat recurring characters. This is one of the best TV shows like Young Sheldon.
10. The Middle (2009-2018)
- Creators: Eileen Heisler, Deanna Heline
- Star Cast: Patricia Heaton, Neil Flynn, Charlie McDermott, Eden Sher, Atticus Shaffer, Beau Wirick, and Brock Ciarlelli
- IMDb Ratings: 7.6/10
One of the T.V. programs Reddit people think doesn’t have enough views. The Middle was produced in Indiana and revolved around a lower-middle-class family striving to make ends meet while juggling jobs and kids daily.
Comparable to Young Sheldon, the family has three children, all of whom are considerably different.
The daughter Sue is socially awkward, while the oldest son Axl is popular and athletic but lazy and not interested in school.
The minor son, Brick, is an introverted bookworm. Fans have long hypothesized that Sheldon might also have Asperger syndrome based on his conduct.
The Hecks, a chaotic family with little money who reside in a dilapidated home, consists of mother Frankie, father Mike, sons Axl and Brick, and daughter Sue.
The parents are upset, but as the three kids get older and more mature, they become a loving family despite their domestic disputes.
11. The Goldbergs (2013-present)
- Creator: Adam F. Goldberg
- Star Cast: Wendi McLendon-Covey, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, Hayley Orrantia, Jeff Garlin, George Segal, and Patton Oswalt
- IMDb Ratings: 8.1/10
The Goldbergs depict the reality of the 1980s through the eyes of a preadolescent.
Later in the series, a teenager is set in an altered version of the 1980s in the Philadelphia suburb of Jenkintown, Pennsylvania.
The show’s creator, who frequently recorded occurrences while growing up, has based the show somewhat on his own experiences.
Each episode of The Goldbergs has the same retro vibe as it follows the Goldberg family as they deal with difficulties and other pop culture events from those eras. This series is one of the best TV shows like Young Sheldon.
The story’s protagonist and the narrator is an adult version of the youngest son Adam, who plays a part in another middle-class family with three children.
Adam is a socially awkward nerd who hates sports and gym class while loving Star Trek and Star Wars.
With storylines based on the creator’s childhood, the show is more eccentric than Young Sheldon.
Wendi portrays Beverly, the mother, and Murray, the father, as the main characters.
Erica and Barry are their oldest kids. Adam, the youngest child, uses his video camera to record his family’s activities.
Albert “Pops” Solomon, Beverly’s father, is frequently present to offer guidance or to assist his grandchildren (often behind his daughter’s back).
Adult Adam narrated every episode in the present and took place in “1980-something.” In non-chronological order, the show’s episodes typically center on the pop culture of the time, and each season includes allusions to other decades.
12.Fresh Off the Boat (2015-2020)
- Creator: Nahnatchka Khan
- Star Cast: Constance Wu, Hudson Yang, Randall Park, Forrest Wheeler, Ian Chen, Lucille Soong, and Chelsey Crisp
- IMDb Ratings: 7.8/ 10
The Huangs, a Taiwanese-American family consisting of parents Louis and Jessica, their children Eddie, Emery, and Evan, and Louis, Jenny, move from Chinatown in Washington, D.C., to Orlando, Florida, to open a steakhouse with a cowboy theme.
The series production was between the years 1995 and 2000. Season two follows the Cattleman’s family restaurant as it grows in popularity.
Jessica’s business cooperation with the Huangs’ next-door neighbor Honey, Eddie’s troublemaking inclinations, and his relationship with his mother.
In the third season, the Huang family continues to integrate into their neighborhood as Jessica becomes a citizen of the United States. And also makes parenting decisions for her sons.
Each Huang child continues his education, and Louis muses about selling the family business.
The fourth season follows Jessica as she writes her book, A Case of a Knife to the Brain, and Eddie as he begins his first year and supports his friend and neighbor Nicole after she comes out as gay.
The fifth season follows Jessica as she experiences the events that follow the publication of her unsatisfactory book.
The pregnancy of her best friend Honey, who lives next door to the Huang family, and Eddie’s participation in a cultural exchange program that takes him to Taiwan.
The last season explores Jessica’s career transition into education and Louis’s career transition into business consulting.
It also deals with Evan’s experience with puberty, Emery’s decision to pursue acting, and Eddie’
Reflection on his future as he nears the conclusion of his high school years. This series is one of the best TV shows like Young Sheldon.
13. Young Rock (2021-present)
- Creator: Nahnatchka Khan, Jeff Chiang
- Star Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Joseph Lee Anderson, Stacey Leilua, Ana Tuisila, Bradley Constant, Uli Latukefu, and Randall Park
- IMDb Ratings: 7.9/10
Young Rock, the newest show on this list, swaps timelines from the present to various points in the past while still transporting viewers to the 1980s and 1990s.
Much of the programming features stories based on actual events that happened to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson while growing up; the show reveals information about him that fans may not be aware of.
Fans may watch him as a small boy of 10 years old, an adolescent of 15 years old, and a college-age student.
The idea is that Johnson, who is running for president in 2032, will recount events from his life to demonstrate how he can relate to the typical American.
Johnson’s grandma, Lia, and other noteworthy personalities are present in many amusing scenes.
All The sitcom is based on a framing story in which Johnson is a candidate for president of the United States in 2032.
Each episode has Johnson taking part in an interview or another encounter that causes him to reminisce about a tale from one of three times in his life.
Johnson appears as a ten-year-old in Hawaii, a high school student in Pennsylvania, a college student, and a football player at the University of Miami in the first season.
14. Atypical (2017-2021)
- Creator: Robia Rashid
- Star Cast: Keir Gilchrist, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Michael Rapaport, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jenna Boyd, Nik Dodani, and Graham Rogers

A one day workshop for Community Co-Researchers. The workshop provided an introduction to ethical issues in the conduct of research, provided and overview of selected research methods that can be used to explore questions of interest to communities & discussed points of community engagement in the research process. The workshop is one activity associated with the community based research study titled: “Health & Human Rights: A Pilot Study to Inform the Development of a Medical Legal Partnership”. The research is funded through The Vancouver Foundation Community Grants Programe.
Judith Lyman, PhD, RN, Professor, UBC School of Nursing
Busloads of happy LifeSkills Centre folks from the Vancouver Downtown Eastside went to the beautiful UBC Farm to enjoy a day of friendship and feasting!
From the UBC Farm website:
“The UBC Farm is a 24 hectare learning and research farm located on the University of British Columbia’s Campus in Vancouver, Canada. The farm is student-driven and integrated with the wider community. As the only working farmland within the city of Vancouver, the UBC Farm is an urban agrarian gem, featuring a landscape of unique beauty.”

AHA MEDIA helped to celebrate the UBC Farm and its future!🙂
“It has been a great year for the farm, in terms of innovative programming, awards, and media attention. However, the future of the 24 hectare farm is still not clear, so it is time to come together to celebrate the Farm’s accomplishments and show our unified support for a bright future for the Farm! This is a celebratory, family-friendly event. We want thousands to join us as we trek from the UBC Student Union Building (SUB) via the Board of Governors meeting and then on to the UBC Farm.”
“We will have Vancouver’s own ever-wacky and danceable Carnival Band, the high-energy percussion ensemble known as Sambata, Papa Thom from the Shepherd’s Pie Tour ’09, Agora String Band, and much more! At the UBC farm there will be music (the soul-quakin’, boot-shakin’ bluegrass boys of the Agora String Band, and the hip hop alt country tom waits-sylin’ Blackberry Wood.) As well there will be food, addresses from James Mackinnon (100-Mile Diet author,) Rex Weyler (Greenpeace founder), special recorded greetings from David Suzuki, and the Mayor of Vancouver, and a ceremonial planting. ”

| Ultrasound/Genetics Unit
| Genetic Testing
Maternal-fetal medicine specialists are trained to provide more advanced attention to the expectant mother to address maternal or fetal problems. At Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, we orchestrate care from the diagnosis to testing and monitoring to identifying the ideal delivery time and delivering the baby. Studies have shown this advanced care provides better outcomes for mothers and babies.
We provide a level of care beyond what a general obstetrician can provide with significant expertise, experience and focus on diagnosis and management of maternal and fetal care. We care for the most challenging patients, the most complex of the complex. We have the facilities and staff to care for every patient. Treatment is supported by science and evidence-based medicine and we rely on innovative, pioneering treatments to promote the best outcomes.
Many patients considered high-risk have several other medical conditions requiring care. We can provide multiple facets of care in one centralized location. Barnes-Jewish Hospital has access to all medical specialties to oversee the care of you and your baby.
Because we're dedicated to our patients' needs, we take extended time with each patient so care is thorough, customized and personal. We want to make your pregnancy as low-stress as possible and take the extra time to help you understand your situation, answer your questions and develop a partnership with you. We want you to have all the information available to make informed decisions about your care. Our physicians have a commitment and a passion for helping mothers and babies.
WHO IS CONSIDERED HIGH RISK?
Some of the pregnancies considered high risk, which are cared for by the maternal-fetal medical specialists, include:
- Women experiencing pre-term labor or those at high risk for pre-term labor (such as women with previous preterm delivery or multiple pregnancies).
- Women with cervical weakening (called cervical incompetence, where a cervix opens prematurely under the pressure of the growing uterus and fetus and, may need a cervical stitch, also known as a cerclage).
- Women with a history of second- and third-trimester pregnancy loss or stillbirth.
- Women with pre-existing medical conditions, including: heart disease, diabetes and other hormonal diseases, hypertension, renal (kidney) disease, infectious diseases, auto immune disorders (such as lupus), organ transplants, clotting disorders and Rh-factor blood disease.
- Women with uterine or placental abnormalities, such as placental previa.
- Women with fetal anomalies and/or genetic disorders.
- Women with abnormalities of fetal growth.
- Women with pregnancy after age 40.
Call 314-TOP-DOCS (314-867-3627) or toll-free at 866-867-3627 for a referral to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist.
Special testing through maternal-fetal medicine can show problems with the baby early in the pregnancy. Sometimes patients need specialized procedures not available anywhere else in the St. Louis area except Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Specialized testing requires extensive training, expertise and experience.
Ultrasound offers prenatal diagnostics and testing for both routine, low-risk pregnancies and high-risk pregnancies. Ultrasound also may be used to date a pregnancy. Patients benefit from ultrasound at Barnes-Jewish Hospital because of our high-quality imaging and our significant expertise and experience. If a patient has risk factors, we can provide the necessary testing and genetic counseling.
Physicians may refer patients for ultrasound if they suspect a malformation or if there are maternal risk factors. The newest generation of ultrasound technology assists perinatal specialists to assess genetic disorders before birth. Prenatal genetic diagnosis is generally offered to the following groups of patients:
- Women who will be 35 or older at delivery.
- Couples who previously have had a child with a chromosomal abnormality.
- Couples who are known carriers of a chromosome translocation.
- Women who are carriers for sex-linked disease such as hemophilia or muscular dystrophy.
- Couples who are known carriers or who are members of at-risk populations to be carriers of certain hereditary disorders (such as Sickle Cell Anemia in the African-American community or Tay-Sachs disease in the Jewish population).
- Couples with a family history of neural tube defects such as spina bifida, anencephaly or encephalocele (birth defects involving the brain or spinal cord).
- Couples who previously had or are at risk to have children with certain structural birth defects that may be detected by diagnostic ultrasound.
- Women who have had an abnormal maternal serum screen (alpha-fetoprotein +/- additional biochemical markers).
- Women with prenatal exposure to certain medications, drugs or certain viruses.
If problems are identified through testing, we coordinate care for the patient and work closely with pediatric sub-specialists and neonatologists at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Patients are counseled prenatally and can tour the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) so they know what to expect. Our goal is to keep the patient as informed as possible.
Barnes-Jewish Hospital obstetricians and sonographers are some of the most experienced teams in the region. Each year, we perform more than 15,000 obstetrical and gynecological ultrasounds. Our sonographers and obstetricians focus exclusively on obstetrical ultrasound. The quality from a prenatal ultrasound depends upon the expertise of the health-care professional. Expertise and experience matter the most to be able to detect the majority of malformations.
Our obstetricians also perform more than 1,000 genetic amniocentesis and first trimester chorionic villus (CVS) sampling procedures each year.
As a result of the human genome sequencing project, scientists now have the blueprint of each of us. Because of this, combined with advances in technology and other scientific discoveries, there has been an explosion in identifying the genetic basis of many disorders. Genetic testing and ultrasound give us the ability to diagnose things we couldn't detect 20 years ago. It has refined our ability to predict a fetus at risk and take appropriate actions earlier.
If you have a known risk factor for a genetic disorder, such as cystic fibrosis, our genetic specialists can perform genetic testing. To counsel patients about genetic testing, our staff includes two genetic counselors. A counselor will discuss screening and diagnostic options of genetic testing. Genetic testing generally requires a simple, non-invasive blood test and is often the first step before considering more invasive testing such as amniocentesis.

Measuring quality of life (QoL) under incarceration can be used to track successful rehabilitation and risk of re-offending. However, few studies have measured QoL among general incarcerated populations, and it is important to use psychometrically strong measures that pose minimal burdens to respondents and administrators. The paper aims to discuss these issues.
The aim of this analysis was to explore the utility of a short generic tool measuring overall QoL, the QOL5, in an incarcerated population. The authors drew data from the Norwegian Offender Mental Health and Addiction Study, a cross-sectional survey of 1,499 individuals from Norwegian prisons.
Factor analysis suggested a unidimensional structure that explained 53.2 percent of variance in QoL scores. Intrascale correlations were high and internal consistency was acceptable (α=0.764). The QOL5 was strongly correlated with mental health, moderately correlated with exercise frequency and weakly correlated with ward security.
The QOL5 is a short measure that presents minimal burden to respondents and administrators. The authors recommend its further use in incarcerated populations to measure overall QoL as well as cross-cultural adaptation and validation in more languages.
In this analysis of the largest published sample to date of incarcerated individuals and their QoL, the QOL5 appears to be an acceptable and valid measure of overall QoL.

I remember being 22 and wanting to travel further in Southeast Asia. I remember being 23 and whining to my office bff that I am badly itching to travel by myself. In 2018, a few months before I turn 24, I was finally able to achieve both — I traveled to Indonesia by myself!
To say I was anxious about the whole thing was probably an understatement. I was a nervous mess and my nervous-panicky-self led me to make a few crass decisions I regretted later on but hey, there was a first time for everything. I know they were all something I could learn from and probably look back with a laugh later on (narrator voice: it wasn’t funny).
Anyway, here is the first highlight of my four-day trip!
I spent my first day roaming around Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (“Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park”) with my lovely friend Ve. It’s a huge park that encapsulates all aspects of Indonesia’s culture, from museums to replica houses to theaters — you name it. It strongly reminded me of the now-defunct Nayong Pilipino, Manila’s very own miniature park that showcased replicas of the Philippines’ most popular scenic attractions. I was hit with a strange wave of nostalgia from the get-go.
A little backstory: when I was still crafting my itinerary, I asked my Indonesian friends on where I should go in Jakarta, and this was a popular response I received. However, I kept butchering its name: I kept saying “Taman Mani” instead of Mini, and it was funny because “mani” literally translates to semen in Bahasa Indonesia. Amazing, right? The more you know.
We went to the pavilion of replica traditional houses first. To my amazement, I learned that each house design represents a specific province/region in Indonesia, which only shows how wonderfully diverse the country is.
Despite coming from different places, the houses shared several similarities: all are made of wood, built on stilts, have stairs, covered by a vernacular roof, and adorned with intricate decorations. If anything, the only difference they have is their design, but all are beautiful in their own right.
Some houses have roofs that extend really high.
Not gonna lie, I’d probably host regular dinner parties and sleepovers all the time if I had a house as beautiful as this, haha!
Our next stop was at the Komodo Indonesian Fauna Museum and Reptile Park, which pretty much speaks for itself. Pictured above are two Komodo dragons, giant lizards native to the country. (Un)fortunately, there was no real Komodo dragon in the park, but we saw real-life replicas, along with other reptiles.
I had mixed feelings for these reptiles because while they were cute and beautiful (the duality!), I also felt sorry for them for having to live in such an enclosed space instead of roaming around as they please in their natural habitat 😦
With fatigue and heat taking over us quickly, Ve and I decided to take a break for lunch first. I had Nasi Goreng and Teh Tarik. The Nasi Goreng was amazing — it’s rice stir-fried to savory perfection combined with tender chicken chunks and chilis — and the serving could be good for two, even though it was sold at such a cheap price.
Here’s a sad discovery though: Indonesian food is too spicy for my tongue. I was practically starving when I ate this meal, but sadly, I couldn’t bear to finish it. The milk in my teh tarik helped wash away the spiciness somehow, but it wasn’t enough.
One of the primary reasons why I flew all the way to Indonesia is because of their cuisine so you could imagine how disappointed I was when I found out that my taste buds are too weak for their normal chilis.
After lunch, we hopped on a cable car that took us from point-to-point of TMII. I’m no stranger to ungodly tropical weather, but the ride was a nice reprieve from the sweltering heat of Jakarta no matter how brief it was. Plus, Ve and I got the chance to take a few selfies while jamming to EXO’s Diamond and cursing every time the car ‘bumped’, haha.
Girl, I was so glad we rode that cable car because otherwise, we probably wouldn’t have caught glimpse of this beautiful building from above. This building is Museum Indonesia, an anthropology and ethnological museum that exhibits several Indonesian art forms, traditional clothing, and replicas of living spaces to name a few.
This was my favorite among all the attractions we’ve gone to. It made me learn so much about Indonesia as a whole, including similarities it has with the Philippines. This is just surface level, but both countries have sarongs, play sungka (it’s called “congkak” in Bahasa Indonesia), and even have similar (if not exactly the same) indigenous musical instruments. That’s on top of the words that our native language share.
Somehow, so much of it resonated with me and I felt at home even though I was in a country that was technically a thousand nautical miles away from home.
That aside, the building in itself was really too stunning. It’s built in Balinese architecture, which had strong Hindu influence as you can see from the few decorative elements of guardian statues carved at the entrance.
We ended our day trip by resting for a bit at the Merdeka Square replica (it was hot, okay). There were plenty of kids and their mothers just lounging around, and once again I was reminded of the open spaces of plazas back home. While walking, we passed by a huge wedding hall. A few kilometers away, there was also a rock music festival ongoing. The whole place was just so lively and full of music.
Overall, Taman Mini is a wonderful place to start at if you want to learn about Indonesia. One day wasn’t enough to visit each attraction of this 250-acre miniature park, but it’s definitely worth a visit. Just don’t forget to bring a bottle of water, a fan, and prepare yourself for lots of walking.
Taman Mini Indonesia Indah is located atJalan Raya Taman Mini, East Jakarta, Jakarta.

'I'm alive because of him': Father tells of doomed flight's final moments over Victoria
VICTORIA -- It was meant to be a fun father-son outing: a military pilot taking advantage of the rare February sunshine over Victoria to log some flight time and show his dad a view of the city from the cockpit of a single-engine plane.
But the outing would end with the two men hanging from their seatbelts, injured but alive, their borrowed Cessna upside down and filling with smoke in a Saanich blueberry field.
Warren McCall says his son is a hero.
"I'm alive because of him," the 54-year-old father from North Saanich tells CTV News.
Ryan McCall is a pilot out of Victoria's 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron. The 26-year-old has been racking up flying hours on his downtime in anticipation of flying one of the base's new Cyclone helicopters.
On Tuesday morning, the pair took off from the Victoria airport, cruising out over Cordova Bay where the southern cloud ceiling seemed limitless.
"We had lots of clearance out up to 2,500 feet," the elder McCall says. "We got to 1,300 feet and the engine stumbled."
While the clunk wasn't cause for serious alarm, Ryan banked the 40-year-old Cessna back towards the airport, just in case.
Almost immediately the cockpit began to fill with black smoke.
"He called a mayday and as we're making our turn to go back north, the engine starts spewing oil all over the windscreen," Warren says. "Within 15 seconds you could see zero."
Panicking, the father and son ripped open the cockpit's side windows and immediately started searching through swirling smoke for a piece of flat ground among the rugged hills.
"Ryan's now flying with his face pressed up against the side window which only opens up about two to three inches to see out with one eye," Warren says. "He's holding himself out there, his face in the wind and one hand on the control."
Warren estimates it was 90 seconds between the moment they heard the engine sputter and the moment it seized and died completely.
"When the engine seized, we didn't know it at the time, but it actually sheared the propeller right off and it fell to the ground. We found out after the fact when we were in the hospital. We couldn't see anything."
'Find a field! Find a field!'
Roofer Dale Albury was finishing a job on a Saanich rooftop when he looked up to see the doomed plane failing overhead, losing altitude and then losing its propeller over Mount Douglas Park.
Without an engine, the four-seat Cessna 172 was now a glider and its smoke-blind occupants were in serious trouble.
"Ryan's saying, 'Find a field! Find a field!" Warren says.
"I'm trying to look out my side and I point out a couple of things but he rejected those because we didn't have the altitude for them. Then I saw one up ahead and he said, 'That's the one.'"
The two men didn’t know it at the time, but "the one" was right next to a school full of children just arriving for class.
"All we knew was there was a field, totally empty, and we just knew we have to get over the power lines."
The Cessna cleared the power lines as a teacher at St. Margaret's School looked on.
"We clear the power lines, he put down the flaps and brought it right to the ground when the stall horn starts going off," Warren says.
"That berry field that looked very flat – we didn’t know about the irrigation hoses."
The field is crisscrossed with hoses that deliver water to the crops. One of the hoses caught on the landing gear, flipping the plane up onto its nose and over.
"Now we're hanging upside down," Warren says. "We pull the seatbelts off and crawl out and give each other a big hug. My son's a freaking hero."
The McCalls walked away relatively unscathed from the ordeal. Warren says their knees, shins, necks and shoulders are battered from bouncing around in the cockpit, but otherwise they're fine.
"I feel like I just finished a rugby game or something," Warren says. "But we know we're so lucky to walk away from that thing."
The plane wreckage was hauled away from the Beckwith Avenue farm Tuesday afternoon. The Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate.

The Chatham, Massachusetts police need the help of the public in locating a stolen dolphin weathervane. It was stolen from a private home in Chatham this month. The weathervane is a three dimensional copper dolphin plated in 24K gold, worth about $1000. It is about 40 inches long.
Please contact the Chatham Police Department with any information at the following numbers:
508-945-1217 or leave an anonymous tip at 508-945-TTIP (8847)
You may also call the homeowner, Tamara Bazzle, at 404-231-5953 or email [email protected]
This dolphin weathervane has been on the roof of this private home in Chatham for more than 50 years. The homeowner contacted me directly because of the Weathervane Wednesday post of this very same weathervane here on December 4, 2013. One of my readers from the Windham, New Hampshire Historical Society sent me the original photo you see above. I was glad to post it on my blog, and I immediately replied to the email by the homeowner to spread the news of the theft.
Please share this via social media. I hope she can recover this very special weathervane.
According to the homeowner, their home was built in 1916 by Joseph Lincoln, the author of many novels, stories and poems set on Cape Cod. The architect Howard Rich designed the weathervane for the house in 1969. It was considered a local Chatham landmark.

It's important to me.
About 1-2 weeks ago, I switched my beloved druid to the Alliance side.
Now, when I understood the difference of Alliance and Horde, I swore never ever to play Alliance.
But my will broke and I leveled a Dwarf priest to 80. And I started to play with friends and I was having so much fun. Plus my life is suddendly so insanely busy at the moment that I only had time to really play and raid after 9pm.
So, even though my priest was fun to play and she's an amazing healer, I missed Littlebark. Alot. I mean, she has 450 cooking, 437 fishing and maxed alchemist and herbalist. Most of my achievements are on her. On her, I could tank or dps. And I had an option as to what kind of dps I wanted to do!
I ended up playing my priest more than Littlebark (LB) and I was miserable. I missed my HotS. My battle rez. My running-around-like-a-headless-chicken during a fight.
In the end, I transferred LB to the Alliance and it was hard. I've been playing Horde since I started playing WoW. I had so many friends on my Horde Guild. The guild master (Grimm) and another player are my best friends in WoW. Grimm is my mentor, my friend and the one who I can talk to in WoW about random stuff! Lords of Ancient Sin, for lack of a better word, is my WoW family.
In my Alliance guild, I have no Grimm. Or Fara. While we joke around, it's just not the same you know? I love this guild as well, and I'm pouring myself into it whenever I'm online. I do like being able to play LB now in raids and seeing my name at the top of healing meters (though they mean nothing, I swear!). It's the same as Lords is in Ulduar in the progression scale. But overall, I'm having tons of fun with my friends.
But, I miss the Horde. I find myself /targeting Grimm and Fara in Dalaran in hopes that I see them. I've seen Grimm twice in Dalaran while I was on LB, and it was like someone gave me a present. I've /hugged and /waved and stuff. And then I jump on my Horde toons so I can talk to him and he's already offline.
Such is the life of someone who switches sides. :(

Having read the reviews of Vineria, our expectations were quite high, but I think that the hype has got to them. Don't get me wrong, the food is excellent, but it's not just the food that makes for an enjoyable experience.
The constant traffic noise and the interuption of second rate musical performers takes its toll. It's a bit like Christmas, you get one verse of a second rate performance, then a knock on the door for a handout. That was followed by people wandering around the tables begging. Sorry as I might feel for them, wrong time and place and no intervention from the staff.
My feeling is that the Vineria blows very hot then warm. Mostly the food is very good, but some dishes just don't come up to the same standard. The prices are reasonable, but not amazing and the service is adequate. They missed several opportunities to offer more wine and to suggest extra courses. We ended the evening elsewere for dessert.
This is a good restaurant, but there are over 700 more in Seville. Don't just go to the top rated 2 or 3, live dangerously and find your own hidden jem.

In 1955 Beatrice Warde, an American communicator on typography, published a series of essays entitled The Crystal Goblet in which she wrote, “People who love ideas must have a love of words. They will take a vivid interest in the clothes that words wear.” And with that proposition Warde introduced the idea that just as we judge someone based on the clothes they are wearing, so we make judgements about text based on the typefaces in which it is set.
Choosing the same typeface as everyone else, especially if you’re trying to make a statement, is like turning up to a party in the same dress; to a meeting in the same suit, shirt and tie; or to a craft ale dispensary in the same plaid shirt and turned-up skinny jeans.
But there’s more to your choice of typeface than simply making an impression. In 2012 Jon Tan wrote on 24 ways about a scientific study called “The Aesthetics of Reading” which concluded that “good quality typography is responsible for greater engagement during reading and thus induces a good mood.”
Furthermore, at this year’s Ampersand conference Sarah Hyndman, an expert in multisensory typography, discussed how typefaces can communicate with our subconscious. Sarah showed that different fonts could have an effect on how food tasted. A rounded font placed near a bowl of jellybeans would make them taste sweeter, and a jagged angular font would make them taste more sour.
The quality of your typography can therefore affect the mood of your reader, and your font choice directly affect the senses. This means you can manipulate the way people feel. You can change their emotional state through type alone. Now that’s a real superpower!
The effects of your body text design choices are measurable but subtle. If you really want to have an impact you need to think big. Literally. Display text and headings are your attention grabbers. They are your chance to interrupt, introduce and seduce.
Display text and headings set the scene and draw people in. Text set large creates an image that visitors see before they read, and that’s your chance to choose a typeface that immediately expresses what the text, and indeed the entire website, stands for. What expectations of the text do you want to set up? Youthful enthusiasm? Businesslike? Cutting-edge? Hipster? Sensible and secure? Fun and informal? Authoritarian?
Typography conveys much more than just information. It imparts feeling, emotion and sentiment, and arouses preconceived ideas of trust, tone and content. Think about taking advantage of this by introducing impactful, expressive typography to your designs on the web. You can alter the way your reader feels, so what emotion do you want to provoke?
Maybe you want them to feel inspired like this stop smoking campaign:
Perhaps they should be moved and intrigued, as with Makeshift magazine:
Or calmly reassured:
Fonts also tap into the complex library of associations that we’ve been accumulating in our brains all of our lives. You build up these associations every time you see a font from the context that you see it in. All of us associate certain letterforms with topics, times and places.
Retiro is obviously Spanish:
Bodoni and Eurostile used in this menu couldn’t be much more Italian:
To me, Clarendon gives a sense of the 1960s and 1970s. I’m not sure if that’s what Costa was going for, but that’s what it means to me:
And Knockout and Gotham really couldn’t be much more American:
When it comes to choosing your display typeface, the type designer Christian Schwartz says there are two kinds. First are the workhorse typefaces that will do whatever you want them to do. Helvetica, Proxima Nova and Futura are good examples. These fonts can be shaped in many different ways, but this also means they are found everywhere and take great skill and practice to work with in a unique and striking manner.
The second kind of typeface is one that does most of the work for you. Like finely tailored clothing, it’s the detail in the design that adds interest.
Push the boat out
Remember, all type can have an effect on the reader. Take advantage of that and allow your type to have its own vernacular and impact. Be expressive with your type. Don’t be too reverential, dogmatic – or ordinary. Be brave and push a few boundaries.
Adapted from Web Typography a book in progress by Richard Rutter.

Last week I had an unfortunate conversation with a student from the Secular Student Alliance. We had our conversation about the nature of the divine: I claimed that forces can exist beyond a human’s realm of perception (our five senses) and he believed if something is not scientifically quantifiable then it does not exist. His argument deteriorated into a criticism of anything speculative and, by extension, theories in general.
His arguments deteriorated further into a criticism of any academic discipline not based in empirical, scientific data. He then claimed the English department at SCSU must be disbanded because art is simply decoding what the artist was “trying to say” and literary theory and English professors just get in the way of this.
This pessimism is not only grotesquely false, it is shamefully pervasive in the student body. I unfortunately must have this argument on a regular basis, as any outspoken social sciences student will as well. Indeed, too often people rashly assert that if studies do not produce a tangible, practical effect on the world then they are illegitimate.
Art does not “try to say” anything, it is ambiguous by nature and thus lends itself to an infinite number of possible interpretations. Art and literature do not have a “deep hidden meaning” to be decoded from a poetic language or artistic style.
And if art and literature have infinite number of interpretations, we need our professors to provoke questions that will lead us to new understandings of the work, and to gain insights and contexts we wouldn’t have ordinarily known.
But what exactly is pragmatic about literature? What purpose does art serve? How does someone outside the University benefit from my study of Romantic literature?
Art gives us a version of our world that is distanced from our own reality so as to show the defects and perfections of it.
A psychologist can’t study their own psyche, they must study the mind of another; on a larger scale, humanity can’t study itself, it must study a distanced version of itself.
The art of literature is more than a cute story with a beginning, middle, and end, it is a philosophizing of morality, of good and evil, and of the human condition. Thus, both art and literature help us understand ourselves, and their academic study gives us a clearer, fuller understanding of them.
But sadly, the job of defending poetry and the study thereof will never end. Critics of art, literature, and, more broadly, culture, will never achieve their goal, nor will they ever cease trying to limit the influence of art. Defending the legitimacy of poetry is a tradition that goes back at least as far as the 18th century, and realistically much farther.
Art and literature lacks pragmatism. That is, it is idealistic as opposed to practical.
They don’t build bridges or cure diseases—their effects on humans can’t be measured using our five senses. It is fitting, then, that the Atheist would be the strongest critic of art and literature, for the Atheist does not accept things that cannot be measured by humans.
Listening to an Economics student philosophize about the nature of art and literature in society is just about the equivalent of reading Richard Dawkins writing about theology.
People need to be more humble about their academic disciplines.
We don’t all understand each other’s ways of finding truth in the world, but how can you say that the thousands of scholars and intellectuals, their millions of hours studying, are all false and illegitimate?
All forms of academic study are worthy of praise and none should be subtracted—what we need is more academic disciplines, more ways of finding truth about the human condition, not less.

WARWICKSHIRE Police are asking the van drivers to be alert after a number of suspicious incidents and robberies in the county in the last few months.
Several van drivers have also been robbed of their vans in recent months including a man who was collecting barriers around road works in Townsend Lane, Long Lawford on November 2 when he was pushed and the keys stolen from his hand.
These were then used to steal his 62 plate white Ford transit van with orange flashing light on the top.
The driver was shocked but not seriously injured.
George Stepney, Crime Prevention Manager, said: “Many commercial vans and high value vehicles have tracking devices fitted and these are a useful deterrent, however we are also offering the following advice to help deter would-be robbers.”
· keep your doors locked whilst driving and try to keep windows wound up, especially at traffic lights.
· being aware of what people around you are doing
· do not stop to assist someone who has broken down. If you want to help, pull over at the next garage or police station and call for help.
· drive to the next garage or police station to report anyone who tries to pull you over for apparently no reason. Even if they prove to have a valid reason, it’s best to be cautious.
· do not drive home if another car appears to be following you. Drive to a police station or area where people are present. If you can, memorise the registration number and write it down when it is safe to do so.
· do not get out of your car if you suspect a car-jacker has accidentally bumped into you and it is not a genuine accident. Car-jackers will sometimes adopt this tactic to get you out of your vehicle so they can steal it. If this happens wind the window down a little to talk to them. If they are genuine, insurance details etc can be exchanged in this manner.
If you are a commercial van driver, keep your car keys safe at all times – Always remove keys from the ignition and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle. It only takes a thief a few seconds to jump into your van and drive away.

@Saban4Ever -Anyone ever done the BMW track experience at their performance center in Greer, SC? I ordered a BMW in March and it is finally almost ready. There is a backlog/wait for the PCD, so I will need to wait 3 more weeks if I choose to do the track experience. I have heard it is a great experience to do that and to tour their museum, etc.
Congrats on your new BMW! A fine engineered auto there!
FWIW, I ran your question by my car guys and so far only one response:
Yes. I basically did a one-day "M" school there about 8 years ago. Plenty of seat time and enjoyed it. Wasn't cheap but it was nice not worrying about tearing up your own equipment. A lot of little competitions at the end of the day between the participants that were fun too.
Will post again if I get any more responses.
Please keep us posted on how it goes, if possible. I think this is great! Thanks! Baz

The following video was shared on our Facebook page by a user who filmed two UFOs on February 6th 2015.
In the video you see a red orb-like UFO which appears to drop an object onto another white UFO beneath it.
According to the video description:
This is the best night time footage I have captured. I included all raw pics and video, and obvious adjustments at the end. The red object drops an object to a small, white UFO below. Before that, an identical white object flies above the red object. Pretty crazy stuff!

What’s the difference between an autograph and a signature? How can you avoid being cheated on Ebay when purchasing an item hand-written or signed by your favorite author, artist, scientist, or statesman? And once you have that coveted manuscript material, how should you display and store it? These are some of the topics I discussed in a wide-ranging interview with Barton Smith, Past President of The Manuscript Society. Barton’s own collection is eclectic and has grown by association: his initial interest in Charles Darwin expanded to include many Victorian authors, as well as modern artists, scientists and sports figures.
For more information about The Manuscript Society and how to join, as well as many useful resources for all areas of manuscript collecting, please visit their website: https://manuscript.org/ The Manuscript Society offers free virtual events open to all. See their link to Manuscript Mondays or check the FABS Event Calendar.

Oldham 2-1 Milton Keynes Dons: Report
Oldham hold on for MK Dons defeat
A freak goal by Shefki Kuqi set Oldham on course for a deserved 2-1 win against high-flying MK Dons at Boundary Park.
Visiting keeper David Martin was left red-faced as he slipped on the rain-sodden pitch and saw the ball bounce past him, gifting Kuqi the easiest of break-throughs.
MK Dons went close on six minutes when Luke Chadwick was denied by keeper Alex Cisak but Oldham took control with a string of chances.
Tom Adeyemi and Filipe Morais fired off target and left-back David Mellor was unlucky not to score at the end of a storming run.
Oldham struck on 43 minutes as Martin came out to gather Zander Diamond's long ball but lost his footing to give Kuqi a tap-in from two yards.
Kuqi should have scored again before half time but it was Adeyemi who doubled the lead on 56 minutes as he took Robbie Simpson's pass and slotted into the far corner from 10 yards.
Chris Taylor was denied by a goal-line clearance and Morais drilled inches wide as Oldham continued to impress.
Dons responded five minutes from time when Clinton Morrison slid in to convert Anthony McNamee's left-wing cross.

Today marks the big bang of the Universe ecosystem: the life source for NFTs can now come directly from the heart of the Universe Protocol.
Some reference it to be the absolute center of all creation, some call it a black hole, but those that know the truth simply call it the Universe Minting contracts. An immutable temple of unstoppable expansion that will push against the walls of centralization and censorship.
Today is the beginning of the Universe.
We are proud to announce that we are rolling out the first of our many contracts we have been building since April, our NFT minting contracts come with no limits. OpenSea announced they will placing more control on what you can and cannot do with their contracts. Universe will have fully permission-less contracts that will be immutable, meaning the NFTs will be permanent. We will not have limitations on the number of collections you can create, nor the amount of NFTs you can mint.
We could not launch with all the features we wanted so we will be slowly releasing more and more features as they are implemented, requested or voted on by the community. Within 6 weeks all the Minting contracts and Marketplace will be fully operational and ready for everyone to use at free will.
OpenSea announced they will be placing more control on what you can and cannot do with their contracts. Universe will have fully permission-less contracts that will be immutable while the NFTs will be permanent. We will not have contract limitations on collections or the amount of NFTs in a collection.
With OpenSea’s announcement we decided to hustle up and ship, as we feel these types of centralized decisions are destructive to the ecosystem, which the Universe contributors do not take lightly. Universe is a decentralized protocol, governed by the XYZ token. This means that the team cannot make decisions without the communities support. New features, contracts and UI changes can be promoted by the community and be voted on through governance. The Universe DAO is very powerful and controls all things Universe.
Universe Minting is the first of many steps and we will continue to roll out new features and add smart contract capabilities. An important thing about Universe is we have the ability to build around and on top of contracts because the protocol is open-source. As such we have implemented support for a variety of standards, including ERC2981Royalties and ERC721Consumable. We are especially excited, as the former allows for universal royalties, while the latter allows all Universe-minted NFTs to be rented out on EnterDAO!
We will slowly be releasing a years worth of contracts in multiples stages.
The Next few Weeks…
These next few weeks we will be rolling out our full protocol and continue to upgrade and improve our contracts to better support artists and collectors of the Metaverse.
We will be launching our Auction house that will consists of different Auction types like our 3LAU style auction created for this NFT album drop. Anyone will be able to create and customize their own landing page for their auctions.
Universe Marketplace is about 6 weeks away and we could not be more proud of what we have to share with the community. We will be working on integrations with other communities and collections to gain the most utility for users in one platform. For instance we wanna bring the ENTRDAO Landworks land renting to the UI very soon or jumping directly from your NFT page to your Decentraland plot or Fluf World Burrow.
Essentially everything and anything can plug into Universe including the metaverse.
Our Marketplace will be the protocol layer of NFTs where anyone can connect to our open-source contracts and gain access to the Universe NFT listings. The best way to describe this would be a comparison to how Uniswap works, Zapper for instance uses Uniswap contracts but create their own front end that can handle the swap but Zapper doesn’t wanna compete for liquidity so they go directly to the liquidity. When you list something on Universe it is for sale on the protocol level not the front end level.
Our Marketplace will also have a Listing control center like Opensea and Rarible have released over the recent debacle of people getting hacked via Opensea front-end.
We want to unleash the power of what an NFT marketplace can be rigged with social tools, metaverse capability, galleries, art, experiences, information and much more.
Welcome to our Universe lets expand it together!

Default Field Validation Messaging
When creating forms as content, form field validation is automatically handled as seen in the image below. If the fields are required on the form structure, or if a non-matching data type is submitted to a form field, an error message will automatically be generated to the user asking them to re-supply the invalid field information on the form. The warning message will display the label of the form field as defined in the form structure.
Custom Field Messaging on Forms
To add custom field validation messaging to a form, simply edit the field(s) on a structure, click on the "Field Variables" tab, and add a field variable with "errorFieldMessage" (case sensitive), as the Key of the field value. If this field property is set, then the custom messaging typed in the Value field for the Field Variable will be displayed instead of the default validation messaging on the form.
As shown below, if the required field has not been supplied on submit, then the custom validation messaging will be displayed.

The PerlDL project aims to turn Perl into an efficient numerical language for scientific computing. The PDL module gives standard Perl the ability to compactly store and speedily manipulate the large N-dimensional data sets which are basic to scientific computing. e.g. $a=$b+$c can add two 2048x2048 images in only a fraction of a second. The aim is to provide tons of useful functionality for scientific and numeric analysis.

Located in one of Delhi’s go-to luxury shopping havens, DLF Emporio, there’s no denying that Set’z is a dining hotspot. Its seven international kitchens, large space with a terrace, private dining, and a bar serve diverse occasions and moods. Completing a decade this year, the restaurant is now looking to match its number of kitchens to 10 as well. While they’ll have all 10 running by mid-year, the first new member is already here — Iranian cuisine. Adding to their North Indian, Japanese, Arabic, Thai, Coastal, Chinese, and European fare is Chef Feridoun Sohrabi Shahsavar, who brings his expertise in Iranian food and years of experience across the Middle East to tables here.
Sticking to the traditional, the concise menu is heavily influenced by meats. Kebabs and grills dominate, and are punctuated by soups, stews, and salads. What you’ll find are signature Iranian dishes with characteristic flavours of saffron, nuts, lime, and turmeric. And similar to the Indian concept of veggies or meats with a side of carbs, these come with either bread or rice as accompaniments. The Mix Kebab platter has lamb chops, chicken cutlets, and minced lamb cutlets. The lamb preparations are succulent, with minimal flavouring and the meat flavour coming through. The chicken, with a hint of turmeric, makes for an earthy bite but could be more tender. The three different kinds of rice add flavour and break monotony of too much meat, with hints of saffron and tomato.
The Maygo Polo comes with pan-fried prawns on top of a rice hill, mixed with bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. The prawns are juicy and tender, carrying the same flavours as the rice, making for a comfort, tangy dish. The vegetarian Ash Reshteh is an Iranian noodle soup, and a comforting concoction of kidney beans, chickpeas, herbs, and noodles. The nutty and buttery beans add richness to it, and the dollop of cream on top makes it the perfect winter broth. The Kashko Bademjan is fried, mashed eggplant with sun-dried yoghurt and mint sauce. Traditionally had as an appetiser or a dip, its converted into a main by the addition of mashed potatoes and fresh-off-the-oven paos. The garlic and onion flavouring with mashed eggplant panders to the Indian palate, and is a must-have, especially for vegetarians.
The dessert, Poreghal, moves away from what we typically know as a sweet last course. Fresh orange slices topped with strawberry compote, pomegranate seed, and sprinkled with rosewater, it’s a balance of sweet and citrus. The light dessert is meant to cool down the body after the hearty Iranian fare, and leaves you refreshed instead of sluggish after a full meal.
If you like your meats to carry their original flavour, this menu is for you. The accompaniments do offer to spice up the tastes, and though only one main dish is vegetarian, the herbivores need not worry as the meatless fare is a winner. Done well, traditional Iranian flavours are presented simply yet expertly.

Cabra Dominican College
Programmed has worked with Cabra Dominican College for many years, providing grounds management and painting services. To preserve the roots and heritage of the college, its large historic buildings need to be maintained and kept consistent with the school’s reputation.
Additionally, in line with their vision to offer a traditional yet contemporary education, there is also a focus on improving the college’s playing surfaces. Thus, grounds management, presentation and upkeep are crucial.
It was essential to Cabra Dominican College that their supplier could work without disruption normal operating hours, or the various other college events, such as sports groups, open days and principal tours. Programmed was able to facilitate painting and grounds maintenance around these events so not to impede access and impact the school’s presentation and safety standards.
Drawing on extensive experience and knowledge, Programmed provided expertise on turf maintenance to support the growing sporting curriculum at the college. This included turf mowing, verti-treatments, line marking, fertilisation and a top dress programme to ensure a high quality finish befitting the school.
Plus after on-site consultations with the school, Programmed made sure all ground upgrades, maintenance and painting services were scheduled to the Cabra Dominican College events calendar with minimal disruptions and risks to safety. We ensured that the college was well presented despite the school’s busy events schedule.
By offering a flexible service approach, Programmed has made a visible improvement to the school’s appearance and enhanced its image. Programmed also provides the college with one-off projects outside of the contract to ensure all of the school’s needs are met.
“Over the time I have been at Cabra Dominican College, I have found the staff at Programmed particularly helpful in being flexible to meet the needs of the college. They are a valuable resource/alternative to use for those ‘one-off’ jobs that can occur from time to time.” – Paul Angley (Business Manager, Cabra Dominican College)

Title : A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Event Package
for DTMF Event Monitoring
Author(s) : J. Zebarth
Filename : draft-zebarth-sipping-dtmfad-00.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2003-10-20
This document defines a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) event
package 'DTMFAD' to allow the use of SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY to collect
DTMF signals. This package is required to implement Committee T1
Technical Report T1.TR.82-2003.
The 'DTMFAD' event package requires the definition of two new Event
header field parameters. This package also requires the use of a new
MIME type, application/DTMF-event, to allow for the transfer of DTMF
data in the NOTIFY body. Registration of this MIME type is also
provided in this document.
This document has been produced, on behalf of Committee T1, as part

Use Case 1 · Reliable IoT devices with multi-layered security for a smart city (Santander)
Driving smarter cities through the use of IoT devices, Use Case 1 transforms citizens into active data sources by encouraging their involvement in reporting environmental standards directly to the municipality via a web app. Tested in certain locations around Santander, the devices will measure variables significant to the wellbeing of the city’s inhabitants, such as noise levels, and overcrowding through the sketching of heat maps.
The web app will enable users to access and rate the quality of the data submitted, providing another layer of validation. Such activity will be encouraged via a rewards system targeting the most active users on the site. The format of this will be tested in the latter stages of piloting to optimise user engagement and data quality. User behaviour and interactions with the website will be tracked to gain insights on their preferences. The outcomes will inform the development of future solutions to meet their requirements.
Implementation will largely focus on creating the devices and testing how they gather this data, through the integration of various sensors. They will also incorporate new hardware and software security layers to improve reliability. Resultantly, citizens become directly involved in the daily routines of the municipality, generating new datasets that could be used by entrepreneurs to develop new services or solutions, thereby reinforcing the local ecosystem.
- Santander Smart City: IoT infrastructure provider where the use case will take place
- Citizens: as the end users, submitting data and also benefitting from that data as presented in the web app, enabling them to make informed decisions on how they use the city, e.g. if it’s a good day to go to the beach (using the heat map to show how crowded it is)
- Municipality: becoming service providers establishing city-wide strategies and acting upon information aggregated within the app, such as excessive noise levels or overcrowding
- SMEs in the M-Sec consortium: acting also as service providers and integrators, exploring innovative ways to create business models and apply the expertise provided by the IoT devices
Data exchanged in this use case does not involve personal data, since in the early piloting stages citizens involved in the trials will not need to identify themselves to provide their input, therefore it presents no effects over GDPR.
Majority of all stakeholders have been engaged already with an introduction to the use case and to gain their initial informal feedback. At least one meeting per stakeholder will be organised with the participation of the Santander Municipality and TST in the next few months. There is a demonstrable interest in the results of the project as there is potential to considerably improve the way citizens interact with the IoT devices, and improve how fast the municipality can react to notifications.
How can I join?

House flipping for a living is a lot harder than it was a decade ago. Even though buyers are eager to snap up them up like hot cakes, their home inspectors are ready to identify every single imperfection that you’ve left behind. Today, home renovations, renewals and flipping are a big boost to the local economy. Dumpsters, panel trucks, workers buzzing around a house like a hive of bees- all signs that something magical is about to happen in the neighborhood. Just like an artist carefully strokes oil on a canvas, the renovator up the street is creating something beautiful – there’s a home that’s about to go from drab to fab.
Now, anyone who has done a few renewals or flips will tell you, it’s not quite as easy as the shows on HGTV or Flip this House would lead you to believe. Not everyone gets to dance around the “Sold” sign celebrating a huge profit hours after the house hits the market. A talented renovator makes it look easy. Like other forms of art, a pro makes it look easy because they know what they’re doing. It’s a different story for the novice renovator. Avoiding some key traps can go a long way in ensuring success.
House flipping mistake #1 : Overbidding
Not every Power of Sale or Estate Sale is a good deal for a flip or renewal. Check the MLS® history of the listing. Has it ever been on the market before? Why didn’t it sell then? Mold? Grow op? Seasonal moisture issues? Hidden knob and tube wiring? Dry rot? You wouldn’t be the first person to see profits disappear by adrenaline fueled overbidding.
House flipping mistake # 2: Ignoring price ceilings
Location, Location…Location. It holds true with flips and renewals. Every location has a ceiling in prices. It’s easy to think that you may be able to push it to a new high with a wonderful product, but it’s a huge risk. Check with a local REALTOR® who knows the area to find out what the price ceiling is. The thrill of selling fast can be countered by the agony of a mutual release if the appraiser can’t support the value.
House flipping mistake # 3: “It’s not that big of a deal”
Be shrewd. Roof, hydro, plumbing, kitchen,furnace,bathroom, flooring & parking-all important elements that if not considered, can cost you your profit. No drives or mutual drives may be common fodder in one price range, but quite a deficiency in another. Know what you’re creating and who you’re going to be selling it to.
House flipping mistake # 4: Too much or too little
Divide your local market into 3 parts; low, middle and upper. If the house is in the low market, don’t chew up your profits with high quality hardwood floors and granite counter tops. In the upper market, don’t loose your profits by putting in laminate flooring and lower end light fixtures. Know your market and get it just right.
House flipping mistake # 5: Bad Math
Overestimating the work that you’re going to have to do will hinder you in the bidding process – underestimating will result in paying too much. Be informed and have trusted trades on call. Sharpen your pencil and do your math. If you start writing in red, double check to make sure you’re not being over cautious. If you can’t see a profit at the end of the day- don’t be afraid to move onto the next property.

While diving has always happened in hockey, we're just at the beginning of the truly absurd stuff we've seen over the last 10 or so years. They can still nip it in the bud if they get on it and really crack down on guys.
While there's some subjectivity involved, they need to start suspending guys for egregious stuff. For example, Carcillo acting like he was highsticked when it didn't even touch him.
One of the problems that the refs really don't want to be wrong on a diving call. I think they'd be more likely to call it if they were able to punish diving a number of ways. If something is probably a dive but borderline they should be able to call the play dead and treat it like icing with the face off going to the offender's offensive zone. That is something that they'd call a lot more and it would embarrass the player that got called.
In addition, all diving penalties should be reviewed by the league. The first offense should be a warning/fine and then, after that, a one game suspension.

That's not a racial slur. The grease from an Italian dude's hair would screw up the ice. It's a safety issue, really. That's why Luongo is only allowed to play goalie.

We have two "MDB" (WAS 4.0) that listen to all messages that come in on all our MQ queues. They then according to the "service" defined in the header route it to a specific session bean. This session bean however needs parameters to perform certain tests. We cant pass these using the actual MQ message. So what I did is I wrote a SOJP that starts up a session bean that has as its sole purpose the binding of the parameters to JNDI. These parameters by the weay change with each test & are entered by a user on the command line. The session bean that actually processes the MQ mesg will once it is "triggered" by the MDB, read these JNDI "strings" to get the current parameters. Now I'm wondering is this all J2EE complient ?? By the way we first had a version where the SOJP put the parameters in a MQ queue & the session bean read them from there, but our MQ Office said no way could we use a queue to do that, yeah they are full of s..t The alternative was a database, but the client did not want to pay for that. [ March 02, 2004: Message edited by: Johannes de Jong ]
So someone runs the SOJP every now and then when the configuration properties need to be changed? What you're doing now is probably standards-compliant, but I think it would be prettier to just use a configuration file and have the MDB read it every now and then (which is a no-no according to the spec, but works just fine in most situations).
Seems to me that these parameters are tied directly to the message being sent so they should certainly be sent as JMS headers with the message. However, it seems that for politic reasons this is not allowed. Your solution certainly seems "J2EE Compliant" but I am not sure it is making appropriate use of JNDI. A database would be the much more standard approach here but in truth it doesn't really buy you anything over your JNDI approach if you don't need these values to persist between server restarts. This process seems error prone without the parameters tied to the message. What happens if the user forgets to set the parameters first? What happens if messages are processed out of the expected order (remember ordering is not guaranteed)? Overall, I don't get a warm and fuzzy...
I'm lost. So you can't put the info in the message at all (header or body)? What's the point of having it? You can fake this using a JNDI tree as you noted. That's how we cheated. It's legal, but don't expect J2EE high priests to be commenting on your piousness. I think the big drawback is that JNDI tree are hard when you cluster, because they are either kept on one server, or you have to deal with synchronization issues (time cost, fear of stale data) between the clustered servers. As for the SOJP? Um, so when and where is that run? I like the idea of a config file much better. I think we also cheated by having some singleton bean which runs on startup (i.e. the code runs the first time any instance of the bean is loaded) to do this. It's not great, but probably better than some non-J2EE application running on the server. (Of course, I'm rusty on all this.) --Mark

Against. Awesome prose, but no big laughs, sorry. Mattsnow 09:07, October 15, 2011 (UTC)
Unlike Funnybony, I'm not going to abstain. I'm going to come right out and vote "no". This article is dryer than cooking sherry. It has myriad grammatical errors, mangled sentences, and ham-handed attempts at humor. Most unforgivable? Three fumbled puns! Goddamnit, but this is a travesty. Ok, so Romartus and some IP have fixed it up somewhat. Still not voting "for". ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sat, Oct 15 '11 9:24 (UTC)
Against. Sorry I know alot of work went into this article, but it was like reading a boring factual article instead of a truly humorous satire? SirACROLOKUN • FPW • AOTM • FA •(SPAM) 11:56, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

Sock, are you sure you ain't thinkin' of the Battle of Cinco de Mayo? My mother and all the other Texians would disagree about it not being a "pivotal battle." Anyway, whadda you know about Texas hist'ry...I thought you were Belgian. :D ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sun, Oct 16 '11 2:12 (UTC)
Well, I'm not the one who wrote it and I'd be the last person to claim to be an expert on American history. But seeing as the blatant sarcasm was obvious to me throughout the article, while there were others who didn't seem to notice it, I just thought I'd point out what the article was really about. —SirSocky(talk)(stalk)GUNSotMUotMPMotMUotYPotMWotM08:38, 16 October 2011

A local magazine, Suburban Essex Magazine, which is distributed to 100,000 homes in my area, has published a lovely article about me and the poetry festival I'm running on Sunday, May 17. Okay, so I'm not quite famous, but still it's really nice to have such a generous piece about me circulating.
The article is about how I got into writing poetry and publishing my work. There's an excerpt from a poem, and there's information about the upcoming festival. As a result of the article, I've been receiving a bunch of emails. A few poets who wanted to know how to get into the festival—too late for this year. A few who wanted more details on how I began getting my work published. And of course, a few who wanted to send me some poems for critiquing—sorry, no can do.
If interested in reading the article, click on the link above. Then click on the Launch link for the May issue. Then once the magazine loads, use the arrow at the top of the page to scroll forward to page 11.

She has extensively studied cloisonné and plique-a-jour enameling and makes beautiful works of art both as professionally and as a hobby. Her expertise in this field is such that she has taught jewelry design and enameling.
Georgia has that rare blend of creativity and technical ability which helps give every guest the potential to express their concepts and her bench abilities allows them to create their vision in a mechanically sound way.
Too often “custom” jewelry is executed in a manner which leads to both artistic and mechanical failure of the piece. Georgia not only insists that the piece be what her clients want, but that it will hold up to the intended wear – if you design a custom engagement ring, Georgia will make sure you can wear it every day with only occasional inspection and maintenance!

House takes its name from the Blagrave family who were resident here in
the 17th Century. The crested ceiling on the first floor has a
strap work panel with the date 1672 and the initials WIB, this
commemorates a marriage within the Blagrave family that year.
Earlier the house was given by Richard
III to Joan Forest whose husband Miles Forest [Keeper of Kings
Wardrobe] along with John Dighton were reputed to have disposed
of the two young princes at the Tower of London. In an extract
from the Patent Rolls of Richard III and dated September 9th 1484
it states "Grant for life to Joan Forest, widow, to the Kings
servant, Miles Forest, and Edward her son an annuity of five marks
from the issue of the Lordship of Barnard Castle." On a south
facing wall remains the carved stone figure of a Boar, this being
indicative of Richard III reign.

Consider the elements of a classic horror movie: the creeping dread of what might happen, the disturbing sense that things are not as they appear, the sudden, unexpected twists and those cruel moments of false calm just before some appalling terror.
And it all happens in the dark; we see and hear just enough to trigger our worst imaginings.
It’s a great formula for a scary movie but a terrible strategy for organisational change, yet many managers seem to approach major transitions in the style of Alfred Hitchcock.
It’s easy to see why; reliable details are usually in short supply in periods of great change so most managers say no more than they know for sure: major structural and cultural change is coming, jobs will be re-examined, behaviours will be re-assessed.
But change makes people hungry for certainty and information; the less we know the more we imagine… and it’s almost never good.
And what we dread we spread; our anticipation of horror creates the suspicion we’re not being told the whole truth… and that things are not as they appear. Every new development feels like a sudden, unexpected twist, every period of stability feels like the cruel, false calm before the terror.
If you want people to embrace change, tell them everything you know and think; even if it much of it turns out to be wrong they deserve to be kept in the loop… after all, it’s their future too.
Change should be an adventure, not a horror show.

You may have seen him on the PBS kid show “Between the Lions.” You might have heard him making strange noises and playing one of the cartoon weasels in the 1988 feature “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”
But more likely, you would recognize Fred Newman in his capacity as the traveling sound effects man on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” which airs on almost 600 stations and is distributed by American Public Media.
When I spoke with Newman on the phone, he exuded the excitement of a kid putting on a show for the family, only a lot funnier.
(click thumbnail)Fred NewmanDuring our conversation he peppered his comments with gunshots, explosions, animals choking and other even more unlikely effects, all created spontaneously using only his mouth. Listening to Newman is like changing the TV channel every three seconds.
Let me start with a technical question. What kind of microphone do you prefer?
Well, that’s not so important because once the sound leaves my mouth it is someone else’s responsibility. When I’m doing live shows like “Prairie Home,” I trust Sam Hudson, the mixer and technical director. He has great ears. All I need is accurate monitoring. When I’m doing footsteps or NASCAR effects, usually Garrison is talking in his whisper so I have to take that into consideration and adjust what I do.
Last week we were doing a Civil War sketch and I had to create bugles, swords (using silverware), horses and artillery sounds. I had to slip them under and around Garrison’s voice.
My associate, Tom Keith, has been with Garrison for 30 years, and he is more of an old-time radio sound effects guy. I come from a tradition of storytellers and I’m more interested in that.
How much of what you do on “Prairie Home” is ad lib?
There is a basic script but things change.
I remember I was set to use a prop door to make a rusty hinge noise, but just before the show Garrison asked me to make the sound with my mouth instead. He wanted it to be more organic.
Radio is so much more intimate than TV. Garrison’s voice is one inch from your eardrum. In fact, the only person who talks that closely to you is maybe your lover, someone you’re in bed with. Our show is so close-mic’d that you can hear Garrison’s nose hairs as he breathes.
The show is kind of slow-paced so we can tell our stories and let imaginary images form in your mind. Most shows today are cut up and jump-cut all over the place.
Can you give me an example of the ad libs?
Garrison came up to me and asked [imitating Keillor’s voice], “Can you come up with the sound of a man having his back cracked by a chiropractor?” This request came five minutes before air.
I thought about all the things in my world backstage that I could use to make that sound but none of them were quite right. You have to feel that noise internally.
(click thumbnail)Fred Newman, Tim Russell, Sue Scott and Garrison Keillor, from left, work the mics.I grabbed one of those ribbed water bottles and put some water in it. I then put some tape over the outside so it wouldn’t crackle and wrapped it in a towel. When my cue came I just twisted it and everyone in the audience groaned and twisted in their seats. It was a great feeling.
When did you start with the show?
I first came on stage in 1980 to promote the original version of my book, “Mouth Sounds.” [The book has been rewritten and is now available as a book/CD and CD-ROM.] I went out on stage and did this baby voice and played a harmonica, and Garrison was so cool and he just went with it.
Over the years he would call me to come on and do special shows with Tom Keith. In fact I thought about having Tom Keith “taken out,” you know, kind of a Tonya Harding job. One quick chop to the throat would do it and I could have the job all to myself.
I do. We’re actually good friends. I’ve been with the show on a regular basis for about eight years. Tom has expert timing and uses props to great effect.
Can you tell me a little more about working with Garrison Keillor?
One can’t know how brilliant he is without seeing him work, and he’s been doing it for 33 years. He is so facile with words that the show becomes one big piece of word jazz. It’s moving, changing all the time. The show is almost never what we practiced during the rundown.
Your bio says that you worked with Jim Henson of Muppets fame.
True. I was writing material for his characters, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant, Beaker. I also was doing some puppeteering, but I could never quite get the hand/mouth thing coordinated.
One day Henson said to me, in a very nice way (imitating Henson’s voice), “You do great voices but you’re a lousy puppeteer,” and he was right.
I played a young Jim Henson on camera in a CBS pilot called “Puppetman” and worked with Jim right up until his death.
I see you do voice mimicry as well!
To duplicate someone’s voice is all about listening, getting the voice in your head first. I love grabbing an aspect or a vocal tick but I’m really more interested in creating characters than doing impressions. I can’t really nail them like (Prairie Home voice man) Tim Russell.
I worked for a year on the “CBS Morning Show” and came up with a 300-pound home economist, sort of a trailer park Martha Stewart voice. She was based on women I heard when I was growing up.
It seems like you would be a natural for cartoons.
I did a lot of cartoons when I was in California. I’m the one the movie guys call when they get stuck. There’s usually some soundman trying to cut something together on a computer and he realizes he needs it to sound more organic.
One time I got a phone call at 9 a.m. and it was someone from Warner Bros. He said [in character] “I’m working on a Nicole Kidman movie and we need the sound of a frog swallowing a wedding band and then throwing it up. Can you do that?” I gave him an instant audition on the phone and he said [in character again], “Uh, can you be here at 10:30?”
Who were some of your idols?
Certainly Mel Blanc.
The first movie I worked on was “Gremlins,” directed by Joe Dante. And it also was the first time anyone had access to the Warner Bros. cartoon library of sound effects.
Joe wanted a specific classic sound, the sound of a duck being caught by the throat (making the noise perfectly), but we didn’t know what it was called so we couldn’t look it up on the file cards they had. I had to recreate it.
Later an old sound effects guy heard it and told us it was called “trombone garble,” and sure enough, we looked it up and there it was. Mel Blanc did it himself into a trombone!
The energy of those sounds is incredible. If seeing is believing, hearing is feeling. I tell people that, in a movie, the information is on the screen but all the emotion is on the soundtrack.
When you get the sound right, the emotion is there, and that is the beauty of radio sound too. It enters the lower brainstem, below the level of intelligence. It’s primal and subliminal.
What was your childhood like?
I grew up as a dyslexic, odd kid but I loved radio and I loved sound.
I worked a little at a radio station but I had reel-to-reel recorders and made my own radio station. I put up this antenna and broadcast over the top of some FM station.
When I was about eight years old, I’d hear these old guys sitting around telling stories. One would pick up a loaf of bread and hit it to make his point. They’d improvise sound effects to go along with the stories.
When did you first hear stereo sound?
I discovered our home system was wired wrong and all we had was mono. I re-wired it and suddenly heard stereo and thought, “This is what we have been missing.”
I had tears in my eyes because I could hear the room, the very space!
You worked for Disney for a while, didn’t you?
Yes, I worked on “The New Mickey Mouse Club” and there was this relentless cheeriness, but it allowed me to do characters.
They had a huge wardrobe and makeup department and they could make an outfit for anything I could think of down in Orlando. If I wanted to be a fat, balding politician, boom! They could make it happen.
The thing I remember is that it took about 150 people to put on a show like that. At “Prairie Home” we have exactly 13, including everyone on stage, and it goes out to 4 million people, live.
TV is such a juggernaut and has so many compromises, and there is so much money at stake and people are shooting each other. In radio, you just clear your throat and walk out. If you want to make a dwarf into a pterodactyl, you just do it.
Rich [pianist Rich Dworsky] can change the music instantly. Garrison can react quickly. In TV you have to plan it all in advance. Radio is a nimble medium. It’s so stripped down, so essential, so clean. It is very much “in the moment.” You don’t have all those monkeys on your back.
Have you ever thought about what will happen after “Prairie Home” goes off the air?
[Cast member] Sue Scott answered that question recently, saying that Garrison doesn’t seem to be tapering off; he’s ramping up. He is relentless, traveling more than ever. I’ve seen him at book signings and he not only signs the books, he writes a limerick for everyone! I imagine he doesn’t want to become insular so he’s always out there meeting people.
With a guy like that, I go into my job happy and excited to be there because I know I’ll do stuff I never thought of before. It is a gift.

Vice President Mike Pence held a meeting with the presidents of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras in Guatemala City on Thursday, telling them the “exodus” of migrants from their countries into the United States must end.
Pence told the assembled Central American leaders that President Donald Trump sent him to Guatemala because the U.S. is facing “another crisis on our southern border.”
“I’m sad to report to the Presidents gathered here that the vast majority of those entering our country illegally are from your countries,” he added.
Pence proceeded to describe the magnitude of the problem and firmly told the Central American leaders they are responsible for the conditions that make so many people desperate to flee their countries:
As we discussed, the numbers are staggering. Since the start of this year, more than 150,000 Guatemalans, Hondurans, and Salvadorians have left their homes and made the often-dangerous journey to the southern border of the United States, and sought to enter our nation illegally.
While many claim asylum, few are fleeing persecution. Among, this flood of illegal migrants are human traffickers and violent gang members, like MS-13. But most are making the journey seeking economic opportunity, driven by the misguided belief that they can ignore the laws of the United States and enter our nation without consequences.
I say with great respect to the Presidents gathered here: This exodus must end. It is a threat to the security of the United States. And just as we respect your borders and your sovereignty, we insist that you respect ours.
Pence followed up by saying the United States will always welcome legal immigrants who play by the rules, noting that his own grandparents immigrated to America by way of Ellis Island. He then stressed America’s sovereign right to enforce its borders and insist upon compliance with its immigration laws, quoting President Trump’s warning: “If you don’t have borders, then you don’t have a country.”
The vice president referenced the Obama and Bush-era policies for detaining the children of illegal immigrants that suddenly became the focus of obsessive media coverage under the Trump administration. He explained the best way to deal with family detention is to reduce the number of families who need to be detained:
President Trump has also taken action to keep families together while we enforce our laws and secure our border. And I’m grateful for the words of affirmation that have been expressed in our meeting today by the Presidents gathered here.
Earlier today, the First Lady visited with children from your countries in Arizona. And as we discussed, we’re working to reunite families from your nations who have been caught trying to illegally enter the United States. In our country, we believe we can, as the Old Book says, “do justice and love kindness” at the same time.
But ultimately, this crisis cannot be solved by America alone. And that’s what brought us together today. The truth is, weak economies, corruption, drugs, and violence are the root causes of this crisis. The United States has long partnered with your countries to address these challenges, and our efforts, as we discussed today, have made some progress. But as we now see at our nation’s southern border, the need for stronger action is more urgent than ever. And as we discussed, with great respect, our nation needs your nations to do more.
Pence stressed the need for deterrence to begin at the countries of origin, asking Central American leaders to tell their people “coming to the United States illegally will only result in a hard journey and harder life.” He more pointedly told them to stop indulging smugglers and allowing them to advertise their services to migrants.
Pence concluded his remarks by speaking directly to the people of Central America:
So as I close, permit me to deliver a message directly to the people of Guatemala, and Honduras, and El Salvador, straight from my heart, and straight from the heart of the American people: You are our neighbors. We want you and your nations to prosper. If you want to come to the United States, come legally, or don’t come at all. If someone tells you they can bring you or your children to America outside the law, don’t believe them.
Don’t risk your lives or the lives of your children by coming to the United States on the road run by drug smugglers and human traffickers. Hold on to your homes and your homeland. Hold on to your children. Build your lives in your homes, and know that the people of the United States of America will keep working every day for a brighter future our people and people all across this new world.
The general tone of the response from the presidents of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras was understanding that their border security has been too lax and they have persistent problems with organized crime, including human traffickers.
President Salvador Sanchez Ceren of El Salvador spoke at length about the humanitarian necessity of treating illegal immigrant families well and reuniting them as soon as possible without saying much about where they would be reunited, beyond a brief mention of the “El Salvador Seguro” package of social programs intended to “strengthen the experience of returning home to El Salvador.”
President Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras offered a broad vision of a “multi-headed monster” that includes drug, gun, and human traffickers.
“Today we see how migration is going up, going down, in cycles. It has gone down in the past also in Honduras, but we know that increasingly it is necessary to tackle the root of the problem, which involves dismantling the criminal world that engages in the trafficking of persons,” Hernandez said.
“Today, as we leave this meeting, Honduras is going to improve its presence and intelligence in policing and armed forces to be even more successful by arrest and dismantling the gangs of criminals that are so harmful to our people by stealing their money and deceiving them to take them to a place where they will likely find hopelessness and a physical and psychological harm,” he vowed.
President Jimmy Morales of Guatemala pledged to work against organized crime and strengthen border controls. He also repeated his request for Temporary Protected Status for Guatemalan refugees in the United States in light of the recent volcanic eruption in his country.
Morales appealed to the media for help in spreading the word against human traffickers:
Finally, to the media I say, you play an extremely important role in raising awareness of the people that should not travel the way they have been doing, by using smugglers or coyotes and people who deal with life as it were merchandised.
You, together with us, the rulers and all citizens who are conscientious and responsible for the construction of this nation, we all need to engage in awareness-raising campaigns for free — to show to the Guatemalan people and the people of any other nationality the risks that are run and the need to abide by proper procedures to remain within the framework of legality of all countries.
Pence and the Central American presidents are dealing with a problem the Obama administration reluctantly acknowledged but only fitfully addressed: it is very difficult to spread even the most carefully crafted and enthusiastically promoted message of deterrence if migrants understand the reality is open borders, especially for children and adults who bring children with them.
No conceivable public relations campaign could suppress the knowledge that “catch and release” policies grant effective access to the United States after minimal hardship. Many things can be said about people who scrape up enormous sums of money and hand them over to violent gangsters, along with their children, but they are not delusional. They know they are taking a terrible risk, but they believe the risk is worth taking. As long as they have a good chance of “winning” by setting foot on U.S. soil, they will play the game.
The commitment to developing the Northern Triangle of Central American into a place people are not desperate to escape at all costs is a tacit admission that reducing the value of the service offered by smugglers is vital to putting them out of business. As Vice President Pence made clear, human smuggling is a lucrative subsidiary to gangsters whose other operations are even greater threats to the security of North, Central, and South America.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla.-March 18, 2004-For mission-critical processes and applications, there's no substitute for Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR).
RTP has created a new TMR architecture designed specifically for process control. The 2300-T HICS High Integrity Control System ensures the highest integrity and the highest availability of user data. It utilizes voting routines to ensure the process is protected and-equally important-that expensive downtime is eliminated.
Better Than Traditional TMR
An 2300-T has more flexibility than traditional TMR systems. Where past TMR systems were limited because of the hardware used to synchronize CPUs and because their I/O was not distributable, RTP has taken advantage of today's high speed networking technology-including high-speed logic switching and a fast Ethernet-based I/O bus-to do away with the limiting hardware required for older systems. As a result, the three controllers that comprise the 2300-T can be housed separately to ensure survivability in a catastrophe, such as a fire.
Additional I/O chassis can be located remotely from the three controllers to eliminate the high cost and complexity of homerun wiring.
To ensure added availability, a dual-powered chassis can be added for both processor and I/O.
Where requirements may dictate several redundant processors, the 2300-T ensures process integrity and availability for less cost and less complexity. High-Integrity Validation Redundancy protects against hardware failure for high system availability, but does not provide for error checking. The RTP HICS is suited for high-integrity, fault checking applications. Its high-integrity communications are validated using advanced built-in CRC routines on both the host and the I/O bus. For critical operations, such as program changes, special routines check and recheck the program validity. Outputs from all three processors are sent to the I/O chassis where the voting occurs, as close to the process as possible.
An Extended Family of Voting Systems
RTP offers a complete family of high-integrity voting systems for process control.
- 2300-T: For the highest level of integrity and availability, the 2300-T Triple Modular Redundant system features voting with triple, dual or common I/O, as required.
- 2300-D: The 2300-D HICS is built on the same advanced technology as 2300-T, for a dual-redundant solution. The voting solution uses advanced diagnostics to assist in results adjudication. The 2300-D features dual-redundant processors, triple, dual or common I/O as required, and up to 32 remote I/O chassis, all built upon the same components and configuration environment (RTP NetSuite) as the 2300-T.
Both the 2300-T and 2300-D support a medium to large distributed control system architecture of up to 10,000 I/O points per node.
For smaller systems, the Micro2000D series HICS also provides a voting solution using dual processors and I/O. The Micro2000D series uses a subset of the same components as the 2300-T, and RTP NetSuite.
The RTP High-Integrity Control System architecture is extremely scalable, flexible, and incorporates multiple levels of redundancy. Its unique design is built upon a set of standard hardware and software components that supports multiple factory-configured applications. These standard components (processors, chassis, I/O and configuration environment are designed to be configured different systems ranging from single controller or dual redundant up to a triple-modular redundant solution.

New vaccine could save thousands from deadly diarrhea-causing rotavirus
Scientists unveiled Tuesday an affordable vaccine against a deadly diarrhoea-causing virus that kills some 100,000 children in India every year.
Rotavirus, which causes dehydration and severe diarrhoea, is globally responsible for some 453,000 deaths annually and is particularly threatening in Africa and Asia, where access to urgent healthcare is often out of reach.
K. Vijaraghavan, secretary of India’s Department of Biotechnology which steered the hunt for an affordable rotavirus vaccine, said it was a product of international cooperation, although it has yet to be approved by New Delhi.
“The result is a world-class vaccine for India’s children,” he told a press conference in New Delhi.
“For the first time we have taken a vaccine from the earliest discovery to every stage of development and that is a very remarkable thing for India,” he said, adding that the dollar-a-dose oral vaccine was ready for production.
The vaccine named Rotavac will be manufactured by Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech pharmaceutical firm which has said it has the capacity to mass produce 60 million doses after clearance is given. Each vaccination consists of three doses.
Rotavirus is blamed for causing up to 884,000 hospitalisations in India a year, at a cost to the country of 3.4 billion rupees ($72 million), scientists say.
“We have (now) added to our know-how and capacity in ways which will pay dividends for development of future solutions,” said Vijaraghavan.
Each dose of licenced vaccines from GlaxoSmithKline and Merc cost around 1,000 rupees ($18), said Sushmita Malaviya of PATH, an international healthcare organisation which is also part of the Rotavac programme.
M.K. Bhan, who pioneered the project after local scientists discovered a localised rotavirus 23 years ago in a New Delhi hospital, said the development was a boon for India’s creaky public health service.
“Total 25 percent of all diarrhoeal admissions would be prevented by this and that means you will have 25 percent less diarrhoeal illnesses of severe nature in India which is a very substantial public health gain,” he said.
“We have a good vaccine which will be useful and we will do post-marketing surveillance and keep accumulating more experience.”
More than 300,000 babies die within 24 hours of being born in India each year from infections and other preventable causes, according to a report last week by Save the Children.

You have a Nespresso single-serve coffee maker, and you love it. We all do! But at some point, almost every Nespresso convert asks the question: Can I use my Nespresso machine to brew my own coffee?
The answer is simple: absolutely!
But before you can start brewing your with your favorite non-Nespresso coffee beans (or pre-ground coffee, if you’re into the whole convenience thing), you’ll have to take a few things into consideration.
In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about using your own coffee with Nespresso machines. We’ll look at the necessary equipment, the brewing process, the benefits and drawbacks of using your own coffee, and some helpful tips to help you get the most out of your brews.
► If you use a Nespresso Vertuo or Vertuo Plus, machine (not the Vertuo Next) then this is the reusable capsule you need to load your own coffee into the machine.
► If you use a standard Nespresso machine like the Essenza Mini, CitiZ, or any of the other non-Vertuo units then you’ll need this reusable capsule to use your own grind.
► Is Nespresso Worth It? Does It Make Good Espresso?
Why Use Your Own Coffee with a Nespresso Machine?
Before we get on with the guide, we thought we should consider some of the reasons why someone might want to use her own coffee in a Nespresso machine to begin with. After all, Nespresso produces outstanding single-use capsules for their machines.
So why use your own? There are two common reasons: the relatively high cost of single-use capsules and their potential environmental impact.
While we are huge fans of Nespresso’s single-serve capsules, there’s no escaping the fact that they are comparatively expensive. It can sometimes be troubling to spend good money on an item that you only use once and then throw away.
Using your own coffee to brew a cup with your Nespresso machine is definitely a great way to save on the cost of capsules, whether you replace the capsules altogether or simply use your own coffee to supplement your capsule use.
One of the biggest drawbacks of the surging popularity of single-serve coffee makers is the environmental impact of throwing away the one-time-use coffee capsules and pods.
It is true that many single-serve capsules and pods can be cleaned and recycled, many people find that this process undermines the whole reason for these machines: convenience and quickness.
One way to mitigate your environmental impact with your Nespresso machine, obviously, is to brew your own coffee with reusable capsules.
What You Need to Brew Your Own Coffee with Your Nespresso Machine
If you’ve decided you want to give brewing your own coffee with your Nespresso coffee maker a try, you’ll first have to buy some things. We’ll focus on the capsules and include other required accessories as they relate to the different capsule types.
Here is all the necessary equipment to get started.
Reusable Coffee Capsules
To use a Nespresso machine, you obviously have to have capsules to get the coffee into the machine. Thus, the most important item you’ll have to buy are reusable capsules.
These capsules come in a variety of styles and are made of various materials. Here are some of the most common types of reusable capsules.
Since the single-use Nespresso pods are made of aluminum, it might seem intuitive to use metal capsules for your own coffee as well.
Indeed, these metal capsules are quite durable and usually feature a sticker closure to keep your coffee in the capsule. One thing to note about this is that, if you go with metal capsules, you’ll need to continually buy new sticker closures, as each one can only be used once.
There are also metal capsules that have a screw-top closure. These are a nice option because you don’t need to replace any of their components. The downside is that they have a tendency to get clogged, so you’ll want to purchase some descaling solution and/or a wire brush to clear the holes.
While metal capsules are certainly more durable and will probably last you much longer, the benefit of plastic capsules is that they are much cheaper than the metal ones.
As with many products, though, you get what you pay for, and the plastic reusable capsules simply don’t function as well as the metal ones. They are more prone to clogging and usually produce a rather diluted brew.
Also, you should consider your time and energy spent on using your own coffee.
Is it Easy to Use Reusable Nespresso Capsules? Is it Worth the Effort?
The Nespresso machine offers users, wide customization, glitzy colorways, and the ability to cut down upon their plastic waste by opting to purchase reusable Nespresso canisters or capsules.
However, how easy are these reusable pods to use?
Reusable Pods – Advantages
- Cost Effective
- Less Wasteful
- Variety of Options
Any Nespresso user knows just how quickly the cost of Nespresso machine starts to inflate when it is time to refill on their supply of pods. These pods can easily cost up to a dollar each and even on the low end they aren’t cheap.
Reusable Nespresso capsules help to cut this cost by allowing the user to refill their pods on their own. A package of five reusable stainless steel pods won’t cost very much but you must also factor in the cost of the coffee in which one would fill these pods with as well as your time spent preparing them every day or two.
Though, even after this calculation is complete it is clear using these pods is much cheaper than their disposable brethren.
Reusable Nespresso pods are also a great choice for the environment. The continued production and purchase of plastic pods has created a plastic use problem, but reusable pods help to limit this problem by offering users a way to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Reusable Pods – Disadvantages
- Harder to Use
- Lighter Coffee
This is where things get real.
Using reusable Nespresso capsules is a rather daunting task in my opinion. Much of this trouble, since the user has to fill the pods themselves before use, is a by-product of a coffee ratio problem. Most of the reusable Nespresso pods that are on the market are in fact slightly smaller than the regular disposable Nespresso pods.
This size difference directly affects the brewing process, for less coffee is able to be held by the Nespresso pod. This decrease in the amount of coffee used will result in a “lighter” cup of espresso.
Other than problems during the brewing process, Nespresso users have all reported that maintenance of their reusable pods is quite challenging.
Reusable pods require continuous cleaning in order to maximize their longevity, but these small pods are often hard to work with, for many of their features are too tiny to clean within.
Certainly there are a number of users that love them but I find them way to cumbersome for my routine and not worth the extra effort.
Should You Start Brewing Your Own Coffee in Your Nespresso Machine with Reusable Capsules?
It depends. If the reasons we mentioned above are very important to you, then you should absolutely give it a shot (sorry for that pun).
However, if these things aren’t a big concern, we think there are much better ways for you to brew your own coffee. The fact is, no matter the quality of your reusable capsules, Nespresso machines simply weren’t designed for this use.
Sure, you can get a decent cup of coffee this way, but it is almost always going to be weaker and less aromatic than using dedicated Nespresso single-use capsules, or simply brewing your own coffee with another method.
Still, the reusable capsules are relatively cheap, so it might be worth it to try one out either way.

9.10am: I look at the clock and realize I have to get up now and run out of bed to shower.
9.40am: After showering I get changed and leave my room to find I am the last one left in the apartment. Thankfully I have the apartment to myself in the morning. I make my usual breakfast of 5 eggs, a bowl of oats and a yogurt whilst listening to the Love Island Morning After podcast.
9.55am: I leave the building and am pressed for time to get to work and normally MoGo. Don’t worry, I never forget the helmet.
10-12: I work on my project and finalize the report that I am finishing up. It’s very interesting work but also can get quite confusing at times, especially when working on my own.
12.30pm: Take a lunch break now and usually have lunch with the TechTown or Next Energy people. We always eat at TechTown because there’s a good spread there but I always pack my lunch the night before so I have that. Its pretty classic - Uncle Bens rice, chicken breast and corn. Exciting stuff folks.
1.30pm: Get back to work and try and fight off the post-lunch slump and crack on with my work.
3.30pm: Everyone at Street Democracy delves into an important conversation with Jayesh about a typical hot-topic. What kind of PhD’s are valid and which professions should call themselves a doctor. This lasts about 30 minutes and is why working at Street Democracy is so interesting - you never know what kind of conversation you’ll have at the shared table.
5pm: I leave the office and call my mum. She always says I don’t call her enough so I’ve made it a habit to try and call her every time I leave the office. I MoGo back, again with my helmet tightly fastened around my head, and get back to my dorm to make myself a snack and a shake.
5.30pm: Head to the gym, I’ve been going a lot this summer and it doesn’t hurt that the gym is literally 100 yards away from our apartments so there is really no excuse. Today its leg day which is a bit of a struggle but I play a soccer podcast on my phone and do the workout.
7pm: After heading back I always have a heavy snack and have a quick shower to clean myself up after the gym. Then I chill in our living room with all the other boys and chat about our days. The conversation is always funny and the chat is good.
9pm: I make my dinner around now, I’m always the last to eat in the apartment. By now John’s already had his dinner 3 hours ago and Kevin and Saagar have eaten as well. After this I play a game of Catan with Andrew, Saagar and Andy/Kevin. The games are always really intense and get very heated sometimes but all in good spirit. I’ve been cheating every game which explains why I’ve been winning recently but hopefully none of them read this so they don’t find out for when we play later today. The games last a while but are always a highlight of my night.
10.30pm: Have a little post dinner snack and send the inevitable “Love island?” Message to Hannah, Bryn, Becca and Saagar. This happens literally every night then we all convene to watch the latest episode of Love Island. For those who don’t know, Love Island is a deep-dive psychoanalysis of Britain in the 21st Century and a must watch for anyone interested in modern behavioral trends. Really cannot emphasize enough how fascinating the show is.
12.00pm: By now everyone’s pretty tired and I get to bed and spend a little too much time aimlessly scrolling on my phone and watching videos. I normally get to bed around 1am.

WA Prof Confronted By Race Activists: I Don't Know if It's Safe to Return
A professor who faced an angry mob after refusing to leave campus for a "day of absence" for white people gave Tucker Carlson an update.
Bret Weinstein, a self-described progressive, said left-wing student activists confronted him because he refused to leave campus on account of his race.
The activists were engaging in a "day of absence" in which they ordered all Caucasians off of campus at Evergreen State College in Washington.
He said that to this day, the school administration refuses to stand up for him and has disparaged his character.
Weinstein said they now blame his previous appearance on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" for the continued unrest.
He has not returned to campus after having to relocate his family for their safety.
"You had a point of view and your right to have that is supposed to be sacrosanct," Tucker Carlson said.
Weinstein said he has "no clue how I can go back to a campus where the administration and faculty have invested so heavily in demonizing me."
He said he has received "tremendous support" from outside the college, but only one professor has publicly stood up for him at the school.
Carlson said he hoped Weinstein would either be able to return to campus or soon get an offer to teach at another school, calling him a "man of principle."
Watch the clip above.

A couple of weeks ago, on 16th August, the Gazette published a short letter from me dealing with Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) and the council’s unreasonable ramping up of these charges three times in the last three years. My letter was short (only three column inches) and heavy on facts.
On Monday 22nd July a group of Barnet residents won a case in the High Court regarding similarly eye-watering rises in charges in that borough. Mrs Justice Lang said that the 1984 Road Traffic Regulation Act “is not a fiscal measure and does not authorise the authority to use its powers to charge local residents for parking in order to raise surplus revenue for other transport purposes”. You can read about it in the Evening Standard, the Guardian and the Daily Mail. Take your pick.
Since then Barnet has decided not to appeal this judgement.
In Barnet parking permits went from £40 to £100 and visitors’ vouchers went from £1 to £4 (for an hour mind). Similar rises have happened in Ealing. Parking permits rose from £25 to £50 and £45 to £80. Visitors’ vouchers went up from 40p to 60p for some people but some went from 3 hours for 40p to one hour for 60p, a rise of 350%. Similarly all day passes went from £1 to £4. Coming after a four year freeze when the Conservatives were in power it was quite a shock. The only difference seems to be that Ealing did three rises in three years whereas Barnet alerted the public by doing one big rise.
To reinforce my case I quoted some numbers from the council’s own publications.
In 2009/10 the council had a controlled parking income of £1.39 million. I got this figure from the final report of the Controlled Parking Zones Specialist Scrutiny Panel, see Table 1, page 11. This panel was chaired by me and I specifically asked for this information because I knew it was something that the new Labour administration would be tempted to misbehave with.
On the face of it the council demonstrated that non-CPZ users were subsidising CPZ users to the tune of £500K – £1 million in 2009/10 at the end of the Tories’ four year freeze on parking charges. This was Labour’s case for increasing CPZ charges so much.
If you look at the figures in a little more detail it seems that most of this apparent subsidy is created by including £600K of capital costs in the running costs of CPZs. This is plain ridiculous. The one off cost of implementing new CPZs should not be included in any fair assessment of ongoing running costs. It is also worth noting that a pretty generous allowance of £500K of corporate overheads was included. What business in the real world would carry almost 40% corporate overheads on a turnover of £1.39 million? These numbers show that in 2009/10 the CPZs were pretty much paying for themselves and if they weren’t it was because they were making a ridiculous contribution to corporate overheads.
Since 2009/10 the council has pushed up CPZ charges three times in three years. At the same time it has reduced services to save money. You cannot walk into Perceval House and get permits or vouchers since February. Paying for vouchers by phone saves the council more money, especially when it offloads the cost of phone payment onto customers. The vouchers have been standardised saving inventory costs. I could go on. The point is that the council’s CPZ costs have probably gone down since 2009/2010.
In the three years since the council’s income has increased 133% to £3.24 million, a rise of £1.85 million. Again these numbers come from council sources. In July the council published its Parking Annual Report.
This table comes from the Financial Information on page 21.
If you add “On-Street Permits and Vouchers†to suspensions and dispensations (On Street) you get £3.238 million which is the CPZ income I believe.
I think that I have made a good case for this to be looked into. On 13th August I wrote to the chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and asked him to look at this. I followed this up with a request in person at the last meeting of the committee on 15th August where it was agreed to look at this matter. Labour needs to come clean on this.

BIG IN JAPAN
Formed: Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK
Alongside The Spitfire Boys this was one of Liverpool's first punk bands, although Big In Japan was arty and eccentric enough to not sound much like your normal punk band i.e. there were no traces of pub rock at all. A kind of supergroup in reverse, all band members were unknown at the time but after they split most of them went on to bigger things. The singer with the shrieking little girl voice and shaven head is Jayne Casey, later of "cold wave" combos Pink Military and Pink Industry. Second drummer Budgie, fresh out of The Spitfire Boys, joined The Slits and then Siouxise & The Banshees. Guitarist Ian Broudie formed the Lighting Seeds, and Bill Drummond formed Lori & The Chameleons, managed The Teardrop Explodes and founded Zoo! Records (amongst other endeavours). Holly Johnson played bass for a while, and formed Frankie Goes To Hollywood with Paul Rutherford (ex-Spitfire Boys). Other band members who were part of their revolving door policy included Ambrose Reynolds (later in Nightmares In Wax and Pink Military), Steve Lindsey (Deaf School) and David Balfe (Lori & the Chameleons / The Teardrop Explodes / Dalek I Love You).
The posthumous From Y To Z And Never Again 12" EP captures a band with semi-intellectual pretensions peddling amateurish, skeletal demi-pop in a style that will be familiar to anybody owning records by Prag Vec, The Dodgems, Nicky & The Dots and a zillion acts from post-punk Britain. The perky 'Suicide A Go Go' is mildly enjoyable, but what's with the Smurf voices on 'Cindy And The Barbi Dolls'? The music – recorded over a period of one year with various line-ups - proves that Big in Japan will remain better known for their musicians than their music. In all, a rather unprepossessing artifact.
The Zoo single has been reissued on the Zoo compilation CD.

The 8 Things You Must Do – To get into the Estate Sales business:
I receive a lot of inquiries from people who want to get into the Estate Sales business. Here are some of their questions:
SW asks: “I am just curious as to how to get into this type of business…could you possibly give me any information or some websites I could check out? This would be greatly appreciated!” Thanks!
JJ asks: “My question to you is, what are the ins and outs to establish an estate sale business? I live in a small but fast growing area of central Arizona and I would like to get into the estate sale business.”
“I once worked with a woman in Phoenix who is now out of business. I loved it. She is now gone and I need to know from another source how to go about creating an estate sales business in a legal manner, and how to conduct the business in a moral and ethical manner. Please give me a little advice, and where I might turn for more information.”
AS asks: I just read your article on how you got started in the estate sales business! I own an antique mall and will soon be starting my 11th year in business. I feel I am missing a good income source by not getting into the auction/estate business, what would you suggest I do?
8 Things You Must Do, to get into the estate sales business…
- Ask Everybody: Ask your Clients, Attorneys, Realtor’s and other people in businesses that are connected to the estate sales business, a lot of questions about their experiences with estate liquidators. Seek, and test out, the advice you are given.
- Model Successful Behaviors: Follow the Estate Sales Leaders. Watch the estate sales experts in your area. Find out what they are doing.
- Expect to Pay for Advice: When I started in the estate liquidation business, I would hire a local personal property appraiser, to make sure that I was not making any costly mistakes.
- Read Guide Books: Kovels, and many price guides published by Warman’s will teach you much about learning to identify various collectibles. However it is also important to note, that while these antique and collectibles guide books can teach you much about identification, the value quotes in them need to be compared to local market conditions. Read, Read, and Read…
- Estate Liquidators are Secretive: They are one of the few business groups, who do not freely give information away. One of the best ways to learn the estate liquidation business is to work for an estate liquidator. I mean, imagine an auctioneer who had never worked in an auction house. How effective would they be?
- Become a Great listener: Every estate is a bit different, and each client has their own unique way of communicating their needs. By listening carefully, you will be able to address them more usefully.
- Ethics are Mandatory: They are not something you acquire. You either have them or you don’t! If you do not have solid ethics, you will never make it in the Estate Sales Business. Word will get out very quickly, and your business will fail.
- Start Small: Rome was not built in a day, so be realistic. Start with small estates and work your way up. Establish you reputation, and soon the better projects will come.
My name is Martin Codina and I am an estate liquidator who loves his job.

Argentinian 'Platform for Hate' Puts Jewish Community at Risk
The Simon Wiesenthal Center denounced “the repeated use of Holocaust-language” on the Contexto magazine website, based in the Argentine province of Tucuman, saying such terminology amounts to ethnic and religious slurs.
In a letter to Contexto Magazine Director Tomás Luciani, Director for International Relations of the Wiesenthal Center, Shimon Samuels and the Center’s Latin American Director, Sergio Widder, charged that, “the repeated use of Holocaust-language to describe the administration of Governor José Alperovich and his wife, Senator Beatriz Rojkes de Alperovich – both Jewish – was an ethnic/religious slur."
The Center pointed to comparisons between the Governor and Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, which include libelous characterizations of greed and obsession with money and gold.
Aside from the articles produced by the website itself, there are countless anti-Semitic comments by readers, which remain uncontrolled by the website’s editor.
“Our Center champions freedom of expression and the right to criticize government officials and policy. Nevertheless, direct stereotyping and ad hominem racism of this nature can only encourage violence,” argued Samuels.
“Indeed this discourse puts the entire Jewish community of Tucuman at risk. Its anti-Semitic incitement renders Contexto magazine complicit in sharing responsibility for any eventual assault on Jewish institutions or individuals in the province,” added Widder.
“We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community of Tucuman, and urge Mr. Luciani to publically apologize for the anti-Jewish incitement on his magazine website and announce that access to third parties who wish to use it as a platform for hate is henceforth banned. We will continue to monitor Contexto and sights to which it is link,” they concluded.

The Cardinals went through two practices on Monday and while the first practice was relatively un-noteworthy, the same can not be said about the second practice. It was a full-padded practice that included an 11-on-11, that's always entertaining, as well as various position drills.
Rookies Making an Impression Early: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie got off to a slow start getting burned by Sean Morey but he bounced back with a couple of interceptions later in practice. He's raw and still has a long way to go before he's game ready, but his quickness and more importantly, his closing speed is simply amazing. There haven't been many mentions of Calais Campbell yet other than the note that he's working inside at tackle in nickel situations. The same (lack of news) can be said for Kenny Iwebema, although Al Johnson did mention in an interview how strong he was and that he should be able to excel against the run. Tim Hightower is living up to his early hype to this point and is taking a significant amount of reps with the second group. Several reports have mentioned that he's awfully quick for a man of his size. Early Doucet is/has benefited from Boldin's absence and has held his own so far and has looked hungry. The comparison's to Boldin won't stop either, this time with Leinart chiming in:
"I think he is a perfect mold of Anquan, same type of body, same type of play," Leinart said. "I think it is perfect for him to learn from a guy like that."
Tight End Situation: We thought just a couple of weeks ago that the tight end
position was one of the deepest positions on the roster and full of potential, but just four days into camp the mood has changed. Leonard Pope is still not 100%, although he did make a couple of acrobatic catches yesterday, and Troy Bienemann is still nursing an injured toe. The uncertainly regarding the health of those two led the staff to spend part of the day working out former Arizona State tight end, Brent Miller. With the depth, I doubt they'd sign another guy, but this could a way to motivate Pope and/or Bienemann to work harder to get back to 100% more quickly. Ben Patrick has made the most of Pope limitations thus far in camp. He got all of the reps with the first team while Pope was sidelined and seems ready to build off a promising rookie season.
Injuries: Nothing to worry about yet but there were still some notable names on the sidelines. Starting center, Al Johnson missed both practices on Monday after having his knee drained, but there is hope that he'll be back today. Anquan Boldin and rookie, Marcus Brown sat out for the second consecutive day and were classified as day-to-day by Coach Whisenhunt. If Boldin misses considerable time it won't be that big of a deal but for Brown, a promising prospect, he needs to be on the field to make the team. As I said eiarlier, Troy Bienemann has yet to practice and the same can be said for Gabe Watson and Monty Beisel. Keilen Dykes missed the first couple of days but I think he is back in practice now.
Quick Practice Notes:
- The QB's have a new drill that the fans seem to love in which they try to hit flags hanging from a stand. By most accounts, Leinart looked much more accurate during the second practice on Monday and even looked to be the most accurate, followed closely by Warner and much further back were St. Pierre and Morelli.
- Fitzgerald and Hood had a spirited practice, especially in position drills. They went back and forth trying to be physical with each other and both had some success with Fitz getting a TD in the corner of the end zone and Hood picking off the very next pass on a slant route. Competition like this makes everyone a better player and is certainly encouraging to see.
- Adrian Wilson is starting to irk some reporters because he's refused to talk to any media outlets so far.
Just one afternoon practice today and it should help some players who are saying that soreness is starting to set in. Today's practice is supposed to be full pads so there should be some good battles today. Thoughts? Encouraging camp so far?

Today I went shopping with one of the "ettes" (long story, tell you later) and we found some lovely deals. I am now into going to resale shops to "save" money on purses. I actually put back a Michael Kors bag! Now don't get too impressed because I bought a new Vera Bradley from the Spring line:-)
Lush was having a buy one get one free on their holiday soaps. There were two everyday scents included in the deal so I got a holiday scent, a normal scent and a soap that is covered in black wax. Everything smells yummy!
I bought some inserts at the Franklin Planner store. Nothing too exciting there.
I wanted the Cinderella lipstick set from Sephora but apparently it was a one time deal thing and I missed it. I still have the gift card that Stinky gave me for Christmas so I am going to save it until I REALLY want something.
I bought a cute Kate Spade coin purse and it was on sale for close to 40% off. YAY!!
Yep so it was a pretty successful shopping trip:-)

Kill the HiPPOs, or, How NOT to Create an Effective Marketing Strategy
Statistically speaking, more people are attacked by hippopotamuses than by lions every year in Africa. They are deceptively dangerous creatures, and we’d all be well-advised to avoid them while on safari in The Dark Continent.
Furthermore, they pose an equally ominous threat in corporate America. Many well-planned marketing strategies have been attacked and destroyed by the HiPPO (Highest Paid Person’s Opinion) lurking in the corner office.
This is what happens when, after weeks of research, a solid, data-driven advertising strategy is tossed aside at the last minute in favor of the boss’s intuition or “gut feeling.” Besides being incredibly demotivating to the marketing team, it is just plain ignorant and egotistical for one person to believe that they know better than the feedback provided by the very audience that they are trying to serve.
Well, let’s assume for a moment that the company that you work for is a hippo-free zone. Given that ideal terrain, how should a smart marketer proceed?
Create an Effective Marketing Strategy
Practically speaking, the way we create an effective marketing strategy is through split testing; constantly and repeatedly testing one variable against another. This concept has been around for a long time, but has been given bigger muscles in the era of tracking pixels and Big Data. We can accomplish in a few weeks what used to take months or years. And with greater accuracy.
We can (and should) split test every variable along the entire pathway of our sales funnel. Test the ad image, test the ad copy, test the ad design. Then test the sales page; everything from the general layout to the headline to the offer. From there we can test our email automation. And finally, split test versions of the product itself.
Furthermore, there needs to be congruence throughout this cycle. Your ad must match your sales page which must ultimately match your product or service. In other words, don’t show them the photo of a Bentley in your ad, and then try to sell them a Toyota.
Once honed, you can then scale the entire pathway; pouring more money into the top of the funnel, and siphoning off bigger returns at the bottom.
Well, that’s the theory. But in between all of that, there’s a lot of hard work. So how do you get started? Here are a few things to focus on.
Images and Headlines
Facebook makes testing ad images very easy. You can upload six images for the same ad, and then give it a day or two to determine which image is getting the most attention. Keep everything else the same; the headline, the ad copy, the link, the landing page—and only vary the image.
Now here’s the bad news: the images don’t really mean much. While you might see a slight preference in your Facebook ads (some of that is due to Facebook’s internal biases), you’re not likely to uncover the one amazing image that inspires your target audience to buy.
So while it’s nice to find striking photo to try to grab people’s attention, focus on the headline if you really want to improve your click through rate. It’s the value proposition that makes all the difference in convincing folks to say “yes” to your offer.
When pitching your product or service, remember to focus on the benefits, and not the features. Going back to our car example, use “Enjoy Driving Again!” over “V-8 Engine and Anti-lock Brakes.”
Facebook has recognized the extremely high value offered with their split-testing potential, and has recently released a new feature that allows you to track your variables even more accurately. For more, read the article at Social Media Examiner.
Monkeys over HiPPOs
If Facebook Ads aren’t part of your marketing plan (but why wouldn’t they be?), then you can gain a lot of audience insight by using Survey Monkey to poll your focus group.
Survey Monkey lets you create surveys, and then gives you several ways to use those surveys to extract information from a target audience. If you already have a large database of customers or email subscribers, you can send them your survey via a custom link. You can also share it on social media, as well as your website.
If you don’t have a large enough focus group, Survey Monkey can find the right type of people to answer your questions and give you valuable feedback. This is a paid service, but can actually save you lots of time and money spent on creating the wrong product or offer.
Again, don’t waste your efforts on testing images or colors or something equally insignificant. Test variations of your actual offer, which in the end, will be the factor that will move customers to either buy or ignore your product.
Join the 21st Century
The modern workplace should be a collaborative “bottom-up” approach to decision making, rather than old school “top-down” hierarchy and compartmentalized tasking.
Trust your team members to do the job that you hired them for. At all costs, avoid micro-managing every task to the point where nothing gets done without going through endless rounds of discussion and revision. This is a recipe for stagnation and frustration.
Instead, take a responsive approach to marketing, which will improve inter-departmental communication, get more of the right things done in a timely manner, and position your company to adapt to evolving customer desires.
The HiPPOs belong in the zoo (or better, just leave them in their native habitat)—they have no place on your marketing team. And they’re mean S.O.B.s, too. Just ask any African safari guide.

Americans celebrate each new year with a plethora of different traditions. Some of us attend parties with family and friends, some stay home and watch a party on the television with a climactic ball drop. At the stroke of midnight, we kiss a love one…Or a stranger, we sip champagne, we light off fireworks and/or call loved ones on the phone. On the first day of the new year we might eat black-eyed-peas or make a hard-kept, and easily broken, resolution. We do funny, meaningful, and old-style things that we believe are a normal part of ringing in the newest year, but did you know, folks around the world also have New Year traditions? Historically, traditions have an important role in our culture and most have a meaningful beginning. The following list is a little insight to the meanings of some New Year traditions at home and around the world.
Kissing at midnight: An American based tradition. Kissing someone at the stroke of twelve on New Year’s Eve (or I guess it’d be New Year’s Day) has vague beginnings, but the meaning has stayed mostly the same . . . The person you plant a kiss on when the clock strikes midnight is the person you hope to be with all year long.
The color of your undergarments: A South American tradition. In some South American countries, the color of undergarments you chose to wear on New Year’s Eve could influence you’re the entire upcoming year. Pink brings love, red spreads passion, blue, health, yellow, prosperity; and white, peace and happiness. So, pick out those colored panties now . . . Oh, and the tradition dictates they be new!
Eating black-eyed peas: An American—specifically Southern—New Year’s Day tradition: Eating black-eyed peas will bring you good luck and prosperity in the new year . . . Says old Southern. The tradition of eating the legume has a few possible beginnings places the one I like best is when the Yankees pillaged the stores of southern farmers, they left behind black-eyed peas and pork rinds, thinking they were nothing more than animal fodder. When the farmers came back to what was left of their meager stores and found the black-eyed leas left behind, they were glad and thankful to have something to carry them through the winter. Thus, began the tradition of eating “hoppin’ john” each in remembrance of hard times and for good luck in the year to come.
One large ham hock or pork rind
Four cups water
Two cups soaked (soak dried “peas” in water for 6-10 hours)
One finely chopped onion
Two chopped celery ribs
Salt and pepper to taste
Add all ingredients to Dutch oven or stew pot and bring to a boil. Simmer until black eyed peas are desired softness. Serve over rice with cornbread.
New Year's resolution: Although resolutions are most common in the Western Hemisphere the practice is also found in the Eastern Hemisphere. Making a resolution is a bit of a controversial tradition in our home. The New Year is a time of new beginnings, a time to examine the year past and look forward to the year to come and making a resolution for change is a good a not so good way to commence a kick start to your goals. Just don’t be disappointed if you break your resolution. Life isn’t about the mistakes we make . . . It’s about how we handle them. The practice of resolutions may have come from religious foundations. For example: At the start of each year, Babylonians made promises to their gods that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts. Romans made promises to the god Janus, for whom the month of January is named. And during the Medieval era, at the end of the Christmas season, knights took a "peacock vow" to re-affirm their pledge to valor.

SOLANA BEACH — When Solana Beach resident Robert George told City Council members at the Sept. 10 meeting that a cell phone tower was about to be installed in the public right of way that’s virtually his front yard, he knew there was little they could do. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 severely limits local authorities from regulating the placement of cell towers.
Had George waited a day, he would have had the law a little more on his side. On Sept. 11, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overruled its previous interpretation of the federal law, giving state and local governments more authority to regulate wireless communications facilities such as cell towers.
Fortunately for George, it appears an alternate, more appropriate site in a nonresidential area has been found. M&M Telcom, a Carlsbad-based consulting firm, worked with the Georges and the cell service provider to identify the new location. Doug Munson, M&M vice president and senior planner, said the ruling had no impact on finding a different site. It did, however, expedite City Council’s approval of the first reading of an ordinance establishing new regulations for placement and construction of wireless communications facilities.
The goal of the ordinance is to ensure that cell towers are built away from residential and other sensitive areas using stealth techniques whenever possible. Service providers will also be required to construct as few towers as possible to complete a network.
The Solana Beach law was crafted using ordinances in place in other cities such as San Diego and Carlsbad.
Preferred locations include, but are not limited to, existing buildings; industrial, commercial and other nonresidential zones; public rights of way adjacent to industrial and commercial zones; and public property such as city-owned facilities. In addition to residential areas, construction of cell towers will be discouraged in open space and residential zones, environmentally sensitive habitat, scenic areas and vacant land.
Unless an applicant does not meet federal standards, the city cannot deny a request based on potential health hazards to residents or the environment.
Service providers must obtain a conditional use permit that will be valid for five years.
In addition to the conditional use permit fee, applicants will be required to pay a minimum deposit of $3,000 for a consultant, technical plan review and staff time.
Munson, who has advised 12 San Diego jurisdictions that created similar ordinances, said some of the wording in the Solana Beach ordinance could “seriously limit our ability to have the flexibility to create” a solution such as the one used to find an alternate site in the George case.
He suggested a two-tiered process for creating preferred locations that “is less involved, maybe less expensive (and) less time-consuming.” He also recommended that before approving the proposed ordinance, council conduct a workshop with telecommunications representatives to discuss any limiting factors.
Although council chose to move forward with the ordinance, Councilwoman Lesa Heebner asked Munson to send the details of his recommendations to the city. Within days, Munson wrote a critique of the guidelines, noting “several inaccuracies,” he said. Munson plans to address council during the second reading.
Mayor Dave Roberts credited the ordinance for bringing “sanity back to this discussion” about the placement of cell towers. “Trying to put these things in people’s front yards … is just wrong,” he said.
“Whether it’s in the public right of way or not, if it’s in front of my house — and I’m sure I can speak for the rest of the council — we probably wouldn’t like it,” Councilman Joe Kellejian said.

Researchers have discovered multiple instances of phony SSL certificates being used to impersonate financial institutions, eCommerce vendors, Internet Service Providers and social networking platforms.
SSL certificates are used to authenticate secure encrypted internet connections by binding an organization’s identity, like a bank, to the appropriate domain name, server name, or host name.
Rogue SSL certificates can be used to commit man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks that leave the targets under the impression that they are engaged in an encrypted session when their data is actually being compromised prior to transmission.
“Successful attacks would allow criminals to decrypt legitimate online banking traffic before re-encrypting it and forwarding it to the bank,” the researchers said. “This would leave both parties unaware that the attacker may have captured the customer’s authentication credentials, or manipulated the amount or recipient of a money transfer.”
The risk is greatest for those who engage in non-browser transactions, as many applications will not recognize that an SSL certificate is not signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA), where most browsers would flag the certificate and issue a warning to the user.
“Online banking apps for mobile devices are tempting targets for man-in-the-middle attacks, as SSL certificate validation is far from trivial, and mobile applications often fall short of the standard of validation performed by web browsers,” the researchers noted.
Fraudulent SSL certificates themselves are not adequate to carry out a MitM attack, as the perpetrator would also need to be a network and internet connection with the target to intercept the communications, and setting up a malicious wireless access point is the most common way to accomplish this.
“Setting up a rogue wireless access point is one of the easiest ways for an individual to carry out such attacks, as the attacker can easily monitor all network traffic as well as influence the results of DNS lookups.”

Here’s a quick overview of the practicalities of the Weavers Way, as at July 2017, with a brief summary of our four day itinerary. This blog won’t be updated so you’ll need to check the current status of the trail and it’s resources. There should also be links to the day by day journals of an enjoyable summer stroll around a small corner of our home county.
The Weavers Way runs for just under 100km of completely flat Norfolk terrain between Cromer and Great Yarmouth. A fit hiker could scuttle along it in three days but four is more normal and sensible. Either end is easily accessible by train from Norwich so it makes an ideal long weekend.
The trail is clearly marked on OS maps and has recently had all new signage installed which makes following it very easy. We barely needed the map thanks to the signs and to the GPX Waypoints from the Long Distance Walkers Association (members only for data files) downloaded into the free* mapping app OsmAnd on my phone. Below are some screenshots. The waypoints were completely reliable as far as we could work out and were adequately precise even in the middle of Halvergate Marshes. OsmAnd needs no signal or mobile data which is useful in Norfolk. (*The contour lines plugin cost £2.09 but, trust me, you don’t need contour lines on the Weavers Way).
Walking north to south, these are the basics:
Day One (in theory).
Cromer has multiple BnBs but campers will have to go a little way out of town, although this year there was a temporary site more centrally in August. The nearest YHA Hostel is at Sheringham which is two stops further along at the very end of the railway line, has pubs, food and a late Tesco. This would add 6 km of breezy clifftops and/or beaches to your first morning with plenty of breakfast options at Cromer. On the downside, if the tide is high this section of the Norfolk Coast Path picks its way through serial caravan parks (including one at East Runton where you can camp, a much closer budget option).
About 22 km south of Cromer the trail brings you to Aylsham which has lots of food plus a few BnBs and makes a natural end to day one. However the only campsite is Top Farm at Little London which is 3 km out of town, adding 6 km to your trail. The campsite at Alby, infuriatingly, has a two night minimum stay so is useless for trailwalkers. There’s a BnB directly on the trail at Erpingham (below, but of which I have no firsthand experience) however unless you do start from Sheringham that’s a pretty short first day.
Around Felmingham and Skeyton the trail runs along an abandoned railway cutting and at the top of the steep bank among the bushes here I noticed a few spots where discrete wild camping might be feasible.
Aylsham to North Walsham is about 11 km, there’s plenty of food and shopping here and another potential BnB directly on the trail (below) of which again I have no first hand knowledge. Another 8 km or so brings you to Dilham where there’s a campsite, whoop! Unfortunately when we walked the Weavers’ Way this was closed as the (very friendly) owners were on holiday. We camped at Stalham’s Broadsedge Marina, where the tent area is small so you need to book which may involve multiple phone messages. Stalham is an easy 25 km from Alysham overall and has pubs and shopping.
From Stalham you’ll probably be too early for the pub at Hickling and the next section is quite wild and woolly but there’s lavish refreshment and shopping at Potter Heigham (about 14 km).
There’s refreshment (and escape to Norwich) at Acle slightly off the trail about 8km onwards but this is Broadland now so you’ll find several riverside pubs and cafes directly on the path in this area.
Stock up, as apart from the pub at Halvergate (which wasn’t open) there’s nothing then until Yarmouth, the formerly famous facilities at Berney Arms (17 km) being at the time of writing semi-derelict and completely unreliable even in the summer season.
It’s quite a trudge round Breydon Water into Great Yarmouth, about a 26 km day overall from Thurne and surprisingly tiring if it’s windy. Your best bet for digs here might be one of the umpteen Mrs Miggins seaside guesthouses. We camped at the friendly Vauxhall Holiday Park which was an extraordinary experience and actually most enjoyable, but the park is surprisingly tricky to access from the trail (frankly downright hazardous when the A47 is busy). By the bus interchange in Yarmouth there’s Wetherspoons for a slap-up breakfast, then regular trains and buses take you to Norwich, or in our case back homewards to Cromer.
The Weavers’ Way is entirely flat, easy walking through farmland and along dykes and old railway lines. It can be completed in sandals, in fact my companion did exactly that although after four days of grass seeds in her socks she rather wished she’d worn trainers instead. I wore my mesh trail shoes. Despite manfully volunteering to carry a two person tent for the entire 98 km I didn’t need poles on this unchallenging terrain.
Other than farm machinery and deep water, hazards are few, but in colder months beware the exhausting and penetrating wind – we call it the Lazy Wind in Norfolk as it goes through you rather than round you. Halvergate Marshes can be terrifying in a winter storm, although if you’ve any sense at all either the road or railway should eventually guide you to civilisation. The skies really are amazing!
There really was a fireman…

This invention relates generally to metallurgy and ceramics and more particularly to the development of containers for the inductive melting of titanium and titanium alloys and the casting of articles from the molten metals.
Production of titanium castings at the present time is marked by high reject rates and significant component rework due to use of certain melting techniques, the use of particular types of equipment, the failure to secure uniform temperatures in the molten metal prior to pouring, and high reactivity between the molten metal and the materials of the crucibles and molds. Prior to this invention, the production of titanium castings in the United States has been limited to a few foundries all of which use skull melting in water cooled copper crucibles by the consumable and/or non-consumable electrode method. In the casting process, use may be made of ceramic investment molds with a nonreactive coating such as tungsten powder or graphite or molds composed of rammed graphite. These methods result in the above-noted objections which the present invention seeks to avoid.
This invention relates to the provision of a composition from which crucibles and molds may be constructed to permit the use of induction heating without requiring the crucible to be cooled during the melting operation.
An object of the invention is to provide a composition and crucibles and molds formed therein which will secure better control of the melt temperature and fewer casting defects, the composition being such that excessive reaction of the molten titanium and alloys therewith will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated.
Another object of the invention is to provide a composition for use in forming crucibles and molds composed of a plurality of elements a certain one of which has a low reactivity to the molten titanium and others which, while perhaps being more reactive, appear, when combined with the first, to solve the reaction problem and are more economical to secure.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a composition for use in forming crucibles and molds having a major weight percent of yttrium and the balance of rare earths all refined to the degree of purity necessary to give the desired results but not to the extent to make the cost thereof excessive.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a composition from which crucibles and molds for melting and casting titanium and alloys thereof may be formed, the composition having between 58 and 63 weight percent of yttrium oxide and a high proportion of heavy rare earth oxides from the group including dysprosium oxide, ytterbium oxide, erbium oxide, gadolinium oxide, terbium oxide, holmium oxide, thulium oxide and lutetium oxide.
Other objects of the invention will be apparent from or suggested by the following description of one embodiment of the invention selected as an example to teach the invention.
The invention may be carried out by preparing a composition consisting of powders having the lowest reactivity to molten titanium and/or alloys thereof. It was found that high purity yttrium oxide and yttrium oxide with a low percentage of titanium provided the lowest reactivity systems but the raw material cost was practically prohibitive. It was further discovered that yttrium oxide combined with heavy rate earth oxides provided a composition which while perhaps not quite as low in reactivity as the first composition suggested, gave satisfactory reactivity results and cost substantially less.
The ingredients for the composition may be secured by treating xenotime or other suitable ores with a sulphate solution then precipitating it into an oxalate which is then fired to convert it to oxides of the elements contained in the raw ore. The average particle size of this powder as precipitated is under 10 microns. A typical composition range obtained by such treatment is as follows:
|Compound Weight %|
Y2 O3 58-63
Dy2 O3 5-12
Yb2 O3 5-7
Er2 O3 5-7
Gd2 O3 3-6
Ce O2 1-5
Eu2 O3 1-3
La2 O3 1-6
Sm2 O3 1-2
Nd2 O3 1-2
Pr2 O3 0-1
Other rare earth oxides
(primarily CaO, Al2 O3, & TiO2
The non-rare earth oxide content of the purified powder may be reduced by subjecting the product of the first treatment to the additional steps of applying a nitrate solution, precipitating the material into an oxalate, and firing the same to oxidize it. The non-rare earth oxides remaining will then be less than 0.2 weight percent.
After the powdered composition has been procured a crucible may be formed therefrom by compacting a quantity without a binder into the crucible configuration by standard cold isostatic pressing at 20,000 psi. The crucible is then air baked at 400° F. for one hour or more to remove all moisture. Following the air baking treatment the crucible is loaded into a kiln from which potential contaminating material has been eliminated by pre-firing the kiln and kiln hardware in vacuum at 1700° C. or higher and then cooling. After the crucible is disposed in the kiln the latter is evacuated and fired up to 600° C. Argon gas is then introduced and the temperature increased to and maintained at 1650° C. for three hours. After a suitable cooling period the crucible is then ready for titanium or alloy melting operation. Crucibles prepared from the described composition were free from cracks and found to be of proper density. Titanium-beryllium alloys melted in such crucibles at temperatures of 2800° F. or higher were found to have oxygen increases in weight percent of between 0.49 and 0.56 or an average of 0.52 which has been adjudged satisfactory. It is to be noted that with the crucibles formed from the composition of the invention in the method above-described the melting operation can utilize induction heating and no cooling of the crucible during such operation is required. A more uniform better controlled melt temperature is secured than with other melting techniques and fewer casting defects result.
The composition of the invention may be employed in titanium casting molds through the use of the "lost wax" method. In following such method a wax form having the shape of the desired casting is prepared and dipped in a slurry composed of the yttrium rare earth mixed oxide powder and a suitable binder. After dipping, the slurry is dried such operation being assisted by dusting the coated wax form with the dry composition. The dipping and drying steps may be repeated as many times as necessary to coat the form to the desired thickness. When this stage is reached a reinforcing mold body is formed around the coated wax body by adding conventional ceramic mold-forming material. To complete the mold the wax form is melted and removed and the mold is then ready to receive the molten titanium or alloy. It is within the concept of the invention to bake the formed mold before use for a casting operation. The mold surfaces exposed to the molten metal will obviously consist of the composition of the invention and a minimum degree of contamination of the molten metal will result.
The castings formed in molds produced in the described manner with the inner liner of the composition defined herein will have significantly fewer casting defects, they will possess the required ductility and other mechanical properties, and the cost of producing them will be at a practical minimum.
Other heavy rare earth mixed oxides which may be used in the composition include terbium, holmium, thulium, and lutetium.

Boston draft pick Terry Rozier appeared on The Starters after the Celtics-Trailblazers game, and made quite possibly the nastiest looking sandwich known to humankind.
Ingredients, in case you want to try this at home:
- White bread
- Spaghetti (including tomato sauce)
- LOTS of ranch dressing
Let's just hope that he isn't assigned to sandwich making duties for the team this season, as we saw Avery Bradley tasked to making peanut butter sandwiches during his rookie year with the C's.
Here is a close up:

Caged is a 1950 women-in-prison movie that has a lot more in common with Cool Hand Luke than a Roger Corman quickie, like The Big Doll House. Nominated for three Academy Awards -- two for its actors and one for its script -- the film is a flawlessly constructed piece of agitprop that succeeds by putting its characters first, thereby allowing its message to develop naturally from the dramatically interesting hardships these characters face.
At the start of the film, teenager Marie Allen (Eleanor Parker) finds herself in for a stretch of one-to-fifteen years, just for being unlucky enough to be in the car while her husband unsuccessfully tried to hold up a gas station. He got killed in the ensuing tussle, and Marie got jail time for running to his aid. Parker initially plays Marie as the quintessential "new fish": wide-eyed, inexperienced, and afraid. Marie tries to be a good girl -- after all, she wants to be paroled at the first available opportunity -- but Caged shows how prison inevitably causes an essentially decent person to evolve into something quite different to better suit her surroundings.
Even though Marie is thrown in with murderers and thieves, like butch queen bee Kitty Stark (Betty Garde), the film is far more sympathetic to those women than to the system which makes them recidivist prisoners. Marie is warned that even if she gets paroled, she could be facing months and months of "dead time" while her parole officer finds her a job. Kitty tries to recruit her into a shoplifting racket, with the promise that her gangster friends have political connections which will speed her release. The audience roots for Marie to stick her guns and not accept Kitty's offer, but circumstances pile up that finally make it seem less and less possible.
The two sides struggling for Marie's soul are led by Agnes Moorehead's sympathetic progressive superintendent Benton and Hope Emerson's villainous matron Harper. Moorehead invests her character with not only compassion but also strength and wit, which shapes Benton into something much more than a bleeding heart. Meanwhile, Emerson's ability to ooze subtle cruelty and show Harper deriving sadistic pleasure from abusing her charges makes for a tour-de-force performance that could have been ripped from a horror movie.
Caged succeeds not only because of its perfectly cast ensemble of actresses, but also because of the note-perfect direction by John Cromwell (1937's The Prisoner of Zenda) and the tightly constructed script by Virginia Kellogg -- who reportedly went undercover as a prisoner for research. Though the dialogue is often hard-boiled, the situations stark, and the lighting expressive, it feels wrong to pigeonhole Caged as a film noir. In fact, what's most commendable about Caged is the way it incorporates so many stylistic elements, including hints of family melodrama and situation comedy, and allows them to enrich the main muckraking narrative. The filmmakers gave themselves an incredibly tricky balancing act, but the film lacks a single false moment.
Before this viewing, I had only known about Caged from its appearance as clips within the documentary The Celluloid Closet, which focused on the representation of lesbian characters within the film. Based on those clips, I assumed this must be a pulpy B-picture. With its title and subject matter, others might also find that an easy mistake to make, but it's a unfortunate one. This film is not a thoughtless, thrown-together, exploitative cheapy. Instead, Caged is a carefully crafted, beautifully executed, unheralded masterpiece.
Caged is back in print via the Warner Archive Collection of manufactured-on-demand DVD-Rs. This is a precise dupe of the original DVD that came in the 2007 Cult Camp Classics 2: Women In Peril box set, featuring the same menus and subtitle options.
Normally, you take your chances video-wise with a Warner Archive release, but this standard 1.37:1 presentation is top notch. The level of fine detail is fantastic for a standard-definition transfer, with very little speckling and dirt to interfere with the picture. I also noticed almost nothing in the way of compression artifacts or other video noise. This is just great-looking.
The Dolby 2.0 mono audio is also in fantastic shape, with no noticeable hiss or pops. The dialogue is all completely intelligible and Max Steiner's score sounds impressive. Since this is just a remake of the old release, this disc actually offers subtitle options: English, English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles.
Just the trailer.
I love pulp stories as much as the next scumbag, but it irks me that this wonderful drama has fallen through the cracks because of its genre trappings (sorry, WB, this is not a "Cult Camp Classic"). This is a brilliant film that has been given an excellent A/V presentation. If you haven't already seen it, you need to check this one out. Of course, it would be nicer if this wasn't an MOD release, but at least the title is still in print. Highly Recommended.

In August of 1999, I was injured in a ranching accident up the North Fork when I was 16 years old. I learned early on how important it is to stay active and continue to enjoy the outdoors, despite a disability. Fast forward to 2010, and after I had my daughter, Addison, I knew I wanted to teach her this important lesson as well. Unfortunately, when I attempted to take her to the local playgrounds for the first time, I found out that none of them were wheelchair friendly. I knew that if I, as a parent, was unable to enjoy active play with my child, then children with varying disabilities in our community were not able to enjoy active play either.
During the Ms. Wheelchair USA pageant in 2013 in Ohio, I was given the opportunity to experience my first all inclusive playground- a place where children of all abilities and their families were able to play together and learn together. I returned home with the dream of building Wyoming’s very first boundless playground right here in Cody.
|SOAR Park, Ms. Wheelchair USA 2013 Pageant, Stow, Ohio|
Here we are, two years later, and I am excited to say that we are hoping to open the playground in the Fall of 2016. It has been a wonderful journey, and I thought I would share the steps we have taken to help others in their quest for a similar project in their community. Obviously, every project will be different, but the steps can be altered to fit your needs. They may go in a different order as well.
Step One: Do Your Research
I knew that I hadn't seen any truly accessible playgrounds in Cody, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing anything. I ended up doing a full playground audit of almost a dozen parks. I took a Saturday and headed out with my notebook and camera. At each park, I looked at the following criteria:
- Access to the playground, including sidewalks and curb cuts
- Parking at the playground
- The playground equipment, including accessibility and age/wear/condition
- The surfacing of the playground
- Surrounding features, including shelter houses and bathroom facilities
- Overall ADA compliance of the playground
- Priority level based on location and size of the playground
Step Two: Make Contact
This step may overlap with the previous step, as it did in my case. One of the first calls I made when I started this project was to Rick Manchester, the Director of Parks & Recreation for Cody. Fortunately, he had been looking at a similar project in Cody, so the timing was perfect. He asked me to complete the audit and report back with my findings and recommendations. He was looking for a "community quarterback" for the project and I immediately volunteered.
If this timing isn't the case for you, you will have your project ready to present to make the case of the new playground project and its need in your community. Make sure you are talking and presenting to the actual decision makers who would not only control the direction of the project, but be passionate and knowledgeable about it as well.
Step Three: Get Creative
Rick and I spoke several times before heading out to Mentock Park, where we were leaning towards putting the park. Addison went with us for the site survey, and it was quickly evident that the playground needed work before it could be considered accessible, let alone all inclusive. But it did offer the best option for several reasons:
- Location- Mentock is surrounded by residential housing, a middle school, and an assisted living community. While its location is easy to access and already established as a main community park, we wouldn't be dealing with heavy traffic or distracting commercial noise.
- Timing- Mentock is an older playground structure and was almost due to be replaced.
- Existing Infrastructure- To save on cost, try looking at a location that offers existing infrastructure, so that you don't have the additional cost of starting from scratch. Mentock has existing parking, sidewalks, curb cuts, and landscaping.
- Other Facilities- Mentock also has a shelter and a bathroom facility that works fairly well- we may just need to spruce it up a little. It also already houses several soccer fields and a skate park.
We wanted to ensure that we were meeting the needs of children of all abilities, including able bodied children and children with varying disabilities, including physical, sensory, and learning. Now that we had a working plan complete with conceptual drawings, we started sharing the project to raise the needed funds.
Step Four: Show Me The Money
A project of this size can cost anywhere between several hundred thousand dollars to over a million dollars, depending on its size. The numbers can be very overwhelming, especially if you are approaching the project with no prior knowledge of similar playgrounds. Fortunately for me, I had been able to speak with the people involved in bringing an all inclusive park to Stow, Ohio, the original park I had experienced in 2013 (SOAR PARK). They were incredibly helpful and prepared me for the sticker shock.
Even with that assistance, the enormity of raising the funds was intimidating. Luckily, we live in an amazing community and as we began sharing the project, we were approached by several groups and organizations that wanted to get involved. Rick also knew about a state grant that we were eligible to apply for that required matching funds, but would almost completely cover the cost of the playground. So we started looking for opportunities to present the project to additional groups that could possibly help us match the state grant. We were thrilled with the response we received, and we just turned in our grant application after procuring the matching funds necessary to meet the eligibility requirements. We will hear in December if we will receive the funding.
We are also pursuing a few grants with outside organizations that specialize in disability recreation and community projects like the playground. Make sure that the person writing your grants has previous experience and knows exactly what they are doing- some of these grants award large sums of money, and you only have one chance to make a good first impression for your project.
Step Five: Involve The Community
To me, this is one of the most important aspects of any community project, especially when it touches the lives of people in such a personal way. We will be hosting several community work days next summer to cut down on the playground construction costs, as well as offer folks the opportunity to be involved in a hands-on way. Parents and grandparents directly affected by a disability have come out of the woodwork offering support and assistance. It's so exciting to see your passion spread throughout the community and light a fire for such a special project.
One of the greatest lessons that I have learned from this project is that something worth doing well takes time and patience. This playground is going to be around for decades to come and will be enjoyed by generations of children and their families, and to me, that makes the waiting worth it. I will keep everyone posted about our progress. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

If that sounds a bit like Paul Revere, well, Sue Sylvester is a red coat, of sorts. Only meaner.
Check out the new promos:
She’s now an immortal on Glee, but can you remember the first big movie you ever saw Lynch in? No IMDb’ing! The 40-Year-Old Virgin? Puh-lease. Best in Show? Nice try. How about … The Fugitive? Well played. She played one of Richard Kimble’s doctor friends. Give yourself a hand, and by that I mean applause and not one of Lynch’s trippy oversized meathooks.
Are you excited for Lynch’s SNL gig, and are you concerned that too much Gleekdom — if that’s possible — could saturate the show?

This week (8-14 November) is National Ethical Investment Week (NEIW). The idea is to raise awareness of green and ethical options for investing money and inspire us to invest in a way that will have a positive impact on society and the environment.
As a nation, we may have got into a good habit of recycling, buying fair trade products and preserving energy, but few of us are choosing to invest ethically. Half of people with savings and investments would like to make money and make a difference, yet only 8% of investors have an ethical investment or savings account (source YouGov).
To find out more about ethical choices take a look at YourEthicalMoney. This site provides independent information on what banks do with your money, allows you to easily compare green and ethical investments and helps you find an ethical financial adviser. There’s also a link to this site on the Resources page of our Sheconomics site.

Ancient astronomers have long been providing observations of supernovae, such as SN 185 by Chinese astronomers in 185 AD, SN 1054, which produced the Crab Nebula, and SN 1006, the brightest stellar event ever recorded. Now, a new paper has uncovered a new observation of the 1006 event.
A trio of German astronomers uncovered a new observation from Arabic scholar Ibn-Sīnā, who lived from AD 980-1037, which had never been documented. The supernova is widely documented, with observations from Egypt, Switzerland, China, the United States, and Yemen. S¯ına, who lived in present-day Iran, provides yet another observational point.
SN 1006 was reported to have been brighter than Venus over a three month period, so bright that it could be seen during the daylight.
Writing for Cornell University’s arxiv.org, researchers R. Neuhauser, C. Ehrig-Eggert, and P. Kunitzsch translated a portion of Ibn-Sīnā’s Kitab al-shifa (The Book of Healing), a major work of philosophy written around AD 1013 to 1023. They uncovered descriptions of the 1006 event:
It therefore happens that the burning and flaming stays for a (long) while, either in form of a lock of hair or with a tail [i.e. in form of a comet], mostly in the north, but sometimes also in the south, or in form of a star among the stars [kawkab min al-kawakib] – like the one which appeared in the year 397(h). It remained for close to three months [qarıban min thalathat ashhur] getting fainter and fainter until it disappeared; at the beginning it was towards a darkness and greenness, then it began to throw out sparks [yarmı bi-l-sharar] all the time, and then it became more and more whitish and then became fainter and disappeared. It can also have the form of a beard or of an animal with horns or of other figures.
The paper notes that this observation is helpful for scholars of Ibn-Sīnā, trying to track down his whereabouts, but also that his observations (although it is unclear if they are first or secondhand) are useful because they provide an additional data point alongside other period observations.

I moved to the city just out of college, right when Tinder was changing the game entirely. Within a few years, it seemed that the M. This was so different from the easy, breezy meet-cutes and witty banter that encompassed six seasons of Sex and the City not to mention two very lengthy feature films. Obviously, I expected to hop off the plane at LGA with my dreams and my cardigan, and immediately meet a charming single man whose dating issues fit neatly into an ongoing theme in my friendship circle. Technology was never supposed to be a factor. Carrie literally hid from her computer when Aiden messaged her on AIM may it rest in peace. The way the four women met men ranged from the reasonable making eyes at an art gallery to the unreasonable falling in front of a moving cab, seducing a sandwich, picking up a widower at a cemetery to the only-in-New-York lusting over firemen at a Staten Island bar.
The Shocking Truth About Tinder; It’s More Than Just a Hook-Up App!
Continental Drift, Sea Floor Spreading and Plate Tectonics Plate Tectonics is a theory developed in the late s, to explain how the outer layers of the Earth move and deform. The theory has caused a revolution in the way we think about the Earth. Since the development of the theory, geologists have had to reexamine almost every aspect of Geology.
Plate tectonics has proven to be so useful that it can predict geologic events and explain almost all aspects of what we see on the Earth. Tectonic Theories Tectonic theories attempt to explain why mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes occur where they do, the ages of deformational events, and the ages and shapes of continents and ocean basins.

The brother was pronounced stillborn by Dr. However, in actuality, he had been born healthy, but given to another family, the Thawnes, whose child had died during birth. The lateness of Barry’s birth only foreshadowed his bad habit of always being late. Barry grew up reading the adventures of his favorite superhero, Jay Garrick , the original Flash and acted many of his hero’s adventures out with his friend and future actress, Daphne Dean.
When he was a child, his mother was killed and his father was convicted of the crime. The drive to prove his father was innocent gave Barry a strong belief in justice.
Bringing The Human Element Back To The Dating Scene
Perhaps the increasing need for companionship is to blame, or maybe the adrenalin-pumping nature of the event makes it so attractive. Whatever the case may be, speed dating for older adults is more common and more useful than ever before; it has transformed into an art, where those who can master its style are most successful. Now you might be wondering, how does one speed date?

We are at a yoga studio in Manhattan on a Tuesday evening, waiting for a Tantric speed dating session to begin. Unlike that man, who manages to break the almost tangible tension in the air with those few words that ultimately lead to conversation, I remain silent.
Bad teeth is the number one turn-off on people’s dating profiles I make myself as small as I can, wedged between a pile of mats and a thick red velvet curtain that is inexplicably draped across the hallway as we wait to go in. They, just like the pair to my right, sound unsure and nervous. Make of that what you will. The majority of men look like they work in IT and have come from the office. One woman in her 50s, perhaps the most confident in the room, wears an interesting combination of cycling shorts, a crushed velvet top, trainers and blue eyeshadow and she stands, wide-stanced, hands on hip, in the middle of the space, eyeing up her prey.
She looks like she could eat you alive. There are a lot of tops and trousers with kitten heels and one women, who signs us in when we arrive, wears a sweeping floor-length red dress with white polka dots. I also wear a dress which is floor-length, but only at the back. At the front its sits knee high, which turns out to be a mistake, as I have to try my best not to flash everyone during the many legs-crossed, on-the-floor exercises that come later.

Thousands of genera Phanerozoic biodiversity as shown by the fossil record Mass extinctions are thought to result when a long-term stress is compounded by a short term shock. In general, large extinctions may result when a biosphere under long-term stress undergoes a short-term shock. High diversity leads to a persistent increase in extinction rate; low diversity to a persistent increase in origination rate. These presumably ecologically controlled relationships likely amplify smaller perturbations asteroid impacts, etc.
It may be necessary to consider combinations of causes. For example, the marine aspect of the end-Cretaceous extinction appears to have been caused by several processes which partially overlapped in time and may have had different levels of significance in different parts of the world. Most widely supported explanations[ edit ] Macleod summarized the relationship between mass extinctions and events which are most often cited as causes of mass extinctions, using data from Courtillot et al.
