Our regular Sunday service starts at 00.00am. After a short welcome and time of singing, children leave the main service (on alternate weeks) to take part in children's' groups in rooms around the church. These groups use simple Bible based materials to help children learn about God and discover Jesus amongst other children of a similar age. Each week we have Holy Communion. For babies and toddlers there is a creche (with toys) located in the South Aisle of the church (through door at the back of church). Parents are encouraged to stay and help settle their children. After that parents are welcome to leave them with approved volunteers or remain in the creche if they prefer. | 2019-04-21T00:43:15Z | null | {

Chef Eric Masson and his wife, Kim, were vacationing in Myrtle Beach several years when they found the perfect opportunity. The former owners of The Brentwood Restaurant in Little River were ready to retire, and the Massons were looking for a new restaurant location. The Massons fell in love with the Victorian home built in 0000 and took over in August 0000. A native of Brittany, France, Masson earned culinary degrees in Paris and worked in London and Paris before he and his wife owned restaurants in Amsterdam, N.Y., and Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The Brentwood offers two restaurants in one, Masson said. "The downstairs is a white tablecloth formal dinner restaurant, and the upstairs is a casual Bistro with piano bar on the weekend. At The Brentwood, I have tried to concentrate on Lowcountry French cuisine by using local ingredients and classic Southern cooking with an added unique French twist." A: I am always looking for the freshest ingredients. I am working with local farmers and fishermen to find sustainable products to offer to my patrons. I am also developing a new Bistro menu. A: Fresh goat cheese (my kids love it), smoked salmon (midnight snack), champagne, (In good times, I deserve it, and in bad times, I need it.) camembert and saucisson or pate (it's a French thing) and Lourdes water (it's been there for 00 years). A: My wife loves sushi and I love sashimi; we go or order to go at least once a week. A: It's a tie between Eric Ripert and Thomas Keller. A: Presentation is 00 percent of a dish. Service, by the way is 00 percent of a dinner experience (with 00 percent for the food). A: Don't make it your day job. Just joking. Concentrate on three recipes; everybody should know three good jokes and master three good recipes. A: Healthy, sustainable, organic, local and natural. A: My grandmother. She used to make fantastic pastry like Baba au rhum, jams and confitures. I also worked under talented French chefs in Brittany, London and Paris. A: Crepes were my favorite food as a kid; it is the fast food of Brittany and can be served sweet or savory. I never cared for tripe (pig stomach) or "pieds de cochon" (pig feet). | 2019-04-18T11:15:50Z | null | {

Curtis Betteridge was prosecuted for failing to comply with an improvement notice to his property. He was asked to carry out works on a flat he rented out so it met necessary regulations for Legionnaires Disease and Fire and Safety regulations. The case was heard before South Devon Magistrates, sitting in Torquay, on Tuesday December 0. Mr Betteridge did not attend and Teignbridge successfully applied for the case to be proved in his absence. Mr Betteridge is the leaseholder of Flat 0, 0 Iddesleigh Terrace, Dawlish. The flat is in an older house that has been converted into flats classed as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). There are extra management obligations for HMOs especially in terms of fire safety and how they are managed. Other properties in the building meet all the necessary regulations and are rented out separately. None of the others are owned by Mr Betteridge. Under the Housing Act 0000 and the newly revised Hcop L0 landlords should ensure any property provided for accommodation is free from any risk of harm to the health and safety of an actual or potential occupier of a dwelling. | 2019-04-25T18:48:11Z | null | {

Photography started for me as a hobby and turned into what Shirley calls a "super hobby", and now I am a part-time professional. You can also call me a freelance photographer. Whatever the terminology you use, photography is still my hobby, which I have the pleasure of also getting paid for. When I was asked to be interviewed on the Cross Link Radio podcast I knew it would be fun and very different than the typical photography podcast. Mainly because Shirley is a dental hygienist and her show is all about health in general. On Fridays the topic is hobbies. So in the interview we talk about photography for health as photography as a hobby and how to do more with it. The embedded player above will let you listen to the entire interview, and it's about 00 minutes long. If you have any questions about what was discussed in the interview please comment and let me know. | 2019-04-18T12:24:27Z | null | {

Music | Delmarie Hines: My Journey. My Story. I must ask you to stick with me on this one. It's a bit of a winding road. Music has always played a major role in my life and the life of my family. My memories of my childhood are full of music. Lately, I have been enjoying vivid memories of the songs my parents sang to me as lullabies. I am the youngest of 0 children. My older siblings were all involved in music. Someone was always learning a song, a solo, an audition piece, practicing for band rehearsal, choir rehearsal, ensemble rehearsal, piano lessons, or just jamming some 0-track, 00, LP, or tape. Mom was preparing music for Sunday morning worship. Dad was singing some hymn that was in his heart. I was just singing, singing, singing. I loved singing more than talking and that's saying a lot because I LOVED to talk. I had a terrible stutter as a child. I had to attend speech therapy sessions in elementary school. I had to learn to slow my mind down so that my mouth could catch up. Singing is what my therapist and parents used to help me learn to slow my thoughts down. Stuttering never got in the way of singing. I could close my eyes, see the beautiful colors and patterns and just siiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggg my little heart out. Another trick was that my father would put his hand on my chest and tell me to breathe and then we'd sing together. Dad had a great big tenor voice. I learned to remember that feeling when I would get frustrated or stuck on a word. To this day, putting my hand on my chest forces me to breathe deeply. Dad would often have me read something to him, slowly. He had me convinced that I was reading slowly because he needed to hear it slowly. My mother would gently put one hand on my forehead and her other on my back. That would make me stop, breathe, think and try again. Mom's trick was to have me read something from her medical journals. That forced me to slow down because I had to sound out all of those complicated medical words. Now I just put my hand on my forehead when I need to stop, breathe, think and try again. My brother, David, would hold me and sing to me or read to me when I got angry or upset. Music and reading were my safe places. My family made them so. My sister, Charmaine, who was my arch enemy in childhood, was also one of my favorite singers. My brother, Milton, my other childhood enemy, could sing like Stevie Wonder and I loved it. I tried not to let it show but I think they both knew that I LOVED to hear them sing. My mother made everything she sang sound sweet. She was THE alto....one of those people simply born to sing alto! Hearing her sing in the kitchen was one of my joys in life. Even way back then, we connected through music in ways that needed no words. People would come to our house to practice their parts and solos with my mother during her years of directing the Sanctuary Choir and serving as the Minister of Music at church. Seeing my mother's beautiful smile when they sang correctly was everyone's goal (that arched eyebrow when the part wasn't right was to be avoided at all costs). One thing she knew for sure. I was going to know my part and be able to tell her who was in my section and not singing correctly. As the youngest child, being a snitch was sort of an art form for me. LOL. My mother and I did a lot of talking. There was a lot to learn. She taught me how to cook...and especially how to cook for Dad. She taught me how to assist Dad and her in their careers and the work they did in partnership. She taught me how to be a lady and a woman. She taught me how to read, write, and edit with an eye for detail and thirst for depth. She taught me how to be a woman in a leadership role especially when I was the only woman and/or the only person of color in the room. She taught me about the power of words and the need to tread lightly at times...never as a sign of weakness but as a sign of strength, wisdom, maturity and submission to God. Here we are at 0000 and my mother is slipping away from me and I'm grasping at straws to hold on to her. The woman whose counsel I depended on heavily can no longer have a meaningful conversation with me. The woman whose dry wit could make me laugh hard is now difficult for me to understand. I find myself approaching conversations with her as I did with my nieces, nephews, and godchildren when they were little. My mother's facial expressions let me know that in her mind she makes perfect sense, so I do my best to figure it out. She still makes me laugh. At times she gives me that look that lets me know that she no more understands what she is saying than I do. She also has her moments of clarity when she'll hit me with one of her witty zingers. I give her the side-eye and we both giggle. My mother, a brilliant, deeply spiritual, witty woman with a vocabulary that often sent me running to the Oxford Dictionary (some of the words could not be found in Webster's dictionary) is slipping away. That ferocious insatiable beast called Alzheimer's is annihilating her beautiful mind. We are now 0 years into her diagnosis and the years are taking their toll. Since words are difficult for us, we share music...often. We especially share music in the still of the wee hours, when sleep escapes both of us and she calls out for her mother. We hum, listen to music, connect in ways that do not require either of us to try to understand the other. We simply share our love of the vibrations and power of music. I want to keep the music playing. I want to keep connecting. I need to keep the music playing. As a child I learned to turn to music when words were difficult for me to utter. Now I turn to music as an adult as words are becoming difficult for my mother to utter. Music...it's been there for me my whole life and I pray that the music never ends. This song is about two lovers but with the change of just a few words, it's applicable to my relationship with my mother. This may seem weird to some, but it's perfect for Mom and me. Each time you hear her name? Are you brave enough to confess that you are afraid to trust God? Are you beat down enough to admit that you are afraid to trust God? Are you afraid to trust God? I confess that I have been, I am, and I am hoping to stop this cycle. Trust has been a major issue for me overall. As I've stated before, my trust issues went into overdrive when my father died suddenly. I clung to the belief for YEARS that God had made an error and was simply too embarrassed to admit it. I can kinda laugh about that whole way of thinking now but there is still a part of me that is open to accept God's apology for ruining my life! LOL I let that pain fester and grow into a deep lack of trust for anything that made no sense to me, that could not be documented, or that materialized outside of what I found logical even if not my taste. All along though I still acknowledged God, loved God, and kinda sorta served God (insert side-eye here). There is no way to fully serve God without trusting God. There is actually no way to be engaged in a healthy loving relationship with ANYONE without trust. Trusting God requires passion and commitment. I'm not just trusting God to hold my hand as I cross the street. I'm trusting God to BE THE PATH. I'm trusting God to reveal my future and guide me as I do what God says do. I'm trusting God to be my everything. The trick though is that I have to give up all of my notions of who and how I should be. THAT'S MAJOR! This must be why God sent His Son, Jesus, to be our example. This trusting God thing takes sacrifice and not just giving up Ben and Jerry's for Lent. It requires giving up your life so that you can live. It requires seeing God in everyone. It requires knowing the will and Word of God. It requires embracing a love that is not always cuddly, but a love that disciplines, that corrects, that cuts to the bone, that sheds blood, that comes with HIGH accountability. That kind of love demands and breeds passion and commitment. Now that I think about it, the question is not just will I TRUST God, it's also do I LOVE God. Do I love God enough to TRULY surrender all of me to all of Him? It's been a while since I've blogged. There are many reasons for that but we can discuss those later. Today I just wanna talk and hopefully hear back from you. This whole exploration of trust started here. There is a note in my mother's medical file that states: "Failure to thrive"...0 little words...just 0 little words. Her doctor mentioned the possibility of cancer being the reason she is failing to thrive. If I didn't have a tight budget I would have SMASHED my phone to make her and her words disappear. PLEASE NOTE: To those of you reading this who know my mother this is not a confirmed diagnosis. At this point it's just an exploration of what is causing her "failure to thrive." The tears came quickly...tears of anger, confusion and fear all at the same time. Have you ever been there? It's a painful place to be. It's a lonely place to be. It's also an easy place to get off track in every way possible. This question quickly came to mind, "Who and what will I trust?" I am a Christian so that question more specifically for me is will I trust God to be God? THAT IS A HUGE QUESTION!!! I knew that I needed to run to God but it was more like confront God. I was angry. I wanted to let God know a thing or two about the way my journey is playing out. My prayer time was not focused on miraculous healing for my mother. I have laid her at the altar before God and I am caring for her to the best of my abilities. There is nothing more that I can do than that. God is a healer and that remains true no matter what. I heard or read this recently, "Everyone who God heals also eventually dies!" With that in mind, I was ready to let God have it. Unexpectedly though, my prayer time was not focused on my anger or my list of grievances against God. My prayer time was focused on trust. The question I wrestled and am wrestling with is will I trust God no matter what? This is not some undefined trust. I'm talking about a trust that shows up as an unconditional yes to whatever God asks of me. A trust that shows up as unconditional and full surrender to God over what I want. A trust that shows up as obedience to God. A trust that shows up as complete, irrevocable, absolute submission to God. I am clear that I'm using words that many like to steer clear of these days. I'm in my 00's now. My need for popularity and to be one of the cool kids ended a LONG time ago! I want an intimate and powerful relationship with God...a relationship that gives God glory. I want to be a disciple of God. Those goals require trusting God. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a fan of embracing reality. Today's challenge was to embrace the reality that God's will can be and at times will be painful for me. This pain is in direct correlation to my desire to have what I want, the way want it, when I want it. God's will is my joy only if I die daily and in Him alone live, breathe and have my being. We get to heavy blowing, running, shouting, dancing, speaking in tongues and whatnot when we declare that. The truth of the strength and courage of this conviction though is revealed when life smacks you in the face with a brick or your own choices lead you to run at full speed into a brick wall. Well I've been smacked and I got angry with God. That anger surprised me. I went all the way back to things that happened in high school and went down the list of the times I felt that God had disappointed me, forgotten me, abandoned me. When I stepped into the Prayer Room today the anger left and I was left to struggle with trusting God. I cried...and I'm still crying. I recited scripture. I talked with God. I heard from God. I listened to music. I sang. I cried some more. The thing that I am most clear about is that my mother will be fine. The work I have to focus on is me and my relationship with God. It's not over. I'm still processing. What gets you through your battles in life? How do you let go of anger? How do you turn life's circumstances into opportunities to grow closer to God? Do you trust God to be God? What does that question mean to you? Let's pray for each other as we navigate through this thing called life. Let's talk about trust. | 2019-04-25T14:13:23Z | null | {

Just got this card from Newegg last week and I have had nothing but problems with it. up to 000%. Had an EVGA 0000 Ti before this and never had issue one with it. I have the latest Nvidia drivers and Aorus Engine. Anyone else having issues with this card? I forgot to list my monitor. It is a Dell S0000DG G-Sync. TN panel. I had no problem with it (except the fan going on/off when idle...) until today. I tried to update drivers/revert to old version, same results. I thaught maybe it was related to the game itself, so I put back my old 000 and no problem. So it's defenetively the GPU itself, it's weird cause I didn't had any single issue before that crash and after, it was a mess. I'm sending back my card tomorrow. tech support helped me DDU and reinstall. Did not help. I have similar issues with an rtx 0000 Gaming (non oc) the card is not overclocked and worked for the first hour then the mess started after 0-0 minutes i start a game. I bought it for VR. My Windforce RTX 0000 is still running fine after 00+ hrs in AC Odyssey in 0K / Very High settings. Temp is around 00-00 celsius. Btw., I use MSI Afterburner, if it matters at all. Have got the same problem. Card worked fine for about 00 hours. PC crashed, code 00 in windows, some nice green artifacts during boot-screen and also in windows. My old r000 still works. Hey Guys, I'm new here. Just wanted to add in my experience with my Geforce RTX 0000 Windforce 0G. I got it from Newegg about a week ago, worked fine out of the box. Had the latest driver with Aorus installed, everything was default. Just today I launched Rocket League, I play on a Dell S0000dg with 0000p and noticed extremely low fps like in the 00's. I restarted everything seemed fine. Later in the day, PC was still on I launch Black Ops 0 a game I've been running at 000+ frames on 0000p, it got to the connecting screen finished then as it loaded the next screen it would flicker to desktop then back then black but in game still with the in game cursor, but just a hanging black screen. I can't even close the game properly after that point, I have to kill it in task manager, but then my system becomes extremely unstable and laggy afterwards. Then I restart again and give Rocket League a try, I notice the game starts no problem but then drops in frame-rate drastically just in the menu, then starts to stutter. Then I notice a black shadow artifact as I move my mouse. After a huge sigh, I start the diagnostic process, I render test the card, it fails and locks my system. The whole time I started having issues I notice the RGB Gigabyte logo is stuck orange and isn't changing color at all. I remove all software and drivers, clean install manually. Still no luck. Then I swap PCI-E slots on the motherboard, the logo starts changing again, I have a short lived burst of positivity, but 0 seconds in to the black ops main screen I start to stutter and my system starts feeling immensly slow and I start to hear glitchy noises reminiscent of the same audio before a blue screen. I put the 0000 0GB back in that it replaced and so far 0 issues. Do you guys think these are symptoms of a faulty psu or it being underpowered? I don't think my ram is the issue either, its been memtested and I haven't had issues on the previous card or now since I've reinstalled it. 000 watt Antec Eco 00+ bronze PSU. I personally don't think it's underpowering. I have a 000W 00+ Silver PSU (got it as I had the GTX 0000 in the past) with i0 0000, PCIe sound card, tower CPU fan, 0x HDD (0x 0000, 0x 0000), 0x SSD, 00 Gb RAM and I don't have any stability/power issues. Nvidia recommends 000W power supply for RTX 0000. Hey guys just wanted to give an update, I got the replacement card, lets see how long she lasts! So far so good, playing BO0 @ 0000p at around 00-000 fps at medium graphics. I'll let you guys know down the life of the card if I experience any issues. Is there any fix for the 0000 artifacting yet?? If you buy a GPU which is supposed to work at the frequencies from the factory and is giving artifacts, would you underclock it or RMA ? | 2019-04-23T15:51:02Z | null | {

At first we were hesitant to book this place as we scout in Agoda and Trip Advisor for other options meaning for cheaper accommodation since we wanted to try to stay overnight in Amorita Resort. But then a deal came up in Ensogo and I couldn't pass up the chance. Of course, I have to verify it directly to the Amorita Resort/Momo Beach Sales office about the deal as I don't want to be scam like the others. Yes you heard it right, Momo Beach House is under the same management of Amorita Resorts Group. True enough, the deal is legit and they are very nice to answer all my queries concerning the deal. Who couldn't resist this deal? An overnight stay for two with free breakfast, roundtrip airport-hotel-airport transfers (I was told that it cost 000 per person), free Wi-Fi access and best of all free use of Kayak & Paddles Board and Bike! I confirmed this information when I called their Sales office and talk to Avery and Charlotte. After that, I hurriedly booked for 0 nights for me and hubby then 0 nights for my sister and her soon-to-be-husband. I know you notice the word "hurry" since at that time when I buy the vouchers I have only one day before the deal expires. Surprisingly, when I check Ensogo today they have extended this deal. I drop off the idea of spending an overnight stay in Amorita and decided to stay here in Momo Beach House for the rest of our Bohol trip which is 0 days and 0 nights. Php 00,000 was our total expense for the accommodation. What sold me into this deal was the place is just new so I know that the rooms, facilities and the surroundings are well-kept and clean. Plus, it's near the beach! And lastly it's a cheaper alternative of their sister resort, Amorita. I requested for a standard room good for two person located on the 0nd floor overlooking the pool. Initially we wanted a view of the beach but turns out those rooms with that view are the family rooms. I got more excited to spend our Bohol vacation in Momo Beach House when I read an article published by Manila Bulletin under Travel featuring Momo Beach House. Hopefully by November we will still experience the serene, secluded and calm Momo Beach which is considered to be a secret haven. | 2019-04-20T12:28:32Z | null | {

UPDATE: ARTISTS' UNION ENGLAND HAVE WRITTEN TO ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND. SIGN THE PETITION HERE. The appointment of Rupert Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth Murdoch to Arts Council England's National Council is not only deeply troubling, given her close ties to the Murdoch corporate empire, but is also a glaring example of how nefarious the UK arts establishment has become. The appointment of ex-Tate boss Sir Nicholas Serota as Chair of Arts Council England has clearly ushered in a new era of favouritism and nepotism in which a tiny select elite grease the palms of each other and their friends and family. Just look at the biographies of the other members of the National Council. The appointment of Elisabeth Murdoch is directly linked to Sir Nicholas Serota's current leadership of Arts Council England and to his wife, Teresa Gleadowe's own arts projects. There are numerous connections, of which only some will be touched upon here. But first let's remember that during Serota's reign at Tate, he supported artwashing in the form of BP sponsorship, refused to recognise unions, privatised staff positions, introduced the use of zero hour contracts, presided over a culture of widespread bullying, privatised information, and, of course, Tate staff were then asked to kindly chip-in for a new boat for his leaving present! Serota's leadership of Tate lasted 00 years. Serota repeatedly used his position to privatise the institution, forging relationships with corporate and private interests, no matter where the money came from or at what cost to the environment or human rights. This culminated in the naming of the new wing of Tate Modern after the billionaire Ukranian oligarch Len Blavatnik, who donated a ‘substantial amount' of the £000 million cost, according to The Guardian. Blavatnik was said to be the UK's richest man in 0000. His wealth came from oil (including links with BP), chemicals and aluminium but he has extended his fortunes by investing in film, music (he owns Warner Music Group) and property. And, like many rich businessmen, he likes offshore tax havens too. The entire ‘Blavatnik' wing of Tate Modern is nothing short of a monument to artwashing. He has recently donated £0 million toward the new V&A extension - a donation which left ex-Blairite Labour MP, now V&A director, Tristram Hunt feeling ‘honoured' and the entrance being named ‘Blavatnik Hall'. Blavatnik has also given £00 million to Oxford University for their ‘Blavatnik School of Government' (you couldn't make this stuff up!) The billionaire is also a Trump supporter and donor. The point here is that like BP and Blavatnik (to name just two dubious ‘sponsors'), the appointment of Elisabeth Murdoch to a position on Arts Council England's National Council represents another example of the ongoing corporate capture of the arts in England. And, it is, I suspect, not a coincidence that this latest corporate appointment has happened under Serota's leadership. Remember that the director of Tate is appointed by the government and approved by the prime minister. Serota was appointed to his role as Tate director by the Tories and Margaret Thatcher in 0000; he was appointed as Chair of Arts Council England by the Tories and Theresa May in 0000. Clearly, Serota is a bit of a poster boy for Tory privatisation of the arts. This is very concerning. You see, Serota is not just Chair at Arts Council England now, he also remains a director of the Creative Industries Federation (here's a flavour of their board and "ambassadors"). The Creative Industries Federation claims to have a "heavyweight board" of "top creative and business leaders". It works "with politicians of all parties and across all of government and with every level of government - from eight Whitehall departments including No 00 and the Treasury, the devolved nations, metro mayors, city leaders, LEPs and local authorities". It is another example of the corporate take-over of the arts - the neoliberalisation of the arts. It is worth remembering that Serota is also a non-executive director of the BBC. He was appointed in April 0000. But Serota also oversaw Tate Modern's partnership with Elisabeth Murdoch's Freelands Foundation, which provided funding in 0000 and 0000 for the Tate Exchange programme which was launched in the new ‘Blavatnik' wing. Murdoch's Freelands Foundation is a Tate Exchange Founding Associate. Not only that, but Elisabeth Murdoch was a trustee of Tate until September 0000. Her foundation gave the company of which she was a serving trustee £000,000 in 0000 alone. This information is all available in the very revealing Freelands Foundation 0000 annual report. It is also interesting to note that the Freelands Foundation is a company limited by shares and a charity subject to US and UK laws. Furthermore, Murdoch's foundation is entirely owned by Freelands Foundation Inc. - and where does it get its money from? So, Elisabeth Murdoch served alongside Serota at Tate and helped fund some of the Tate's work. And yet, as Tate's own declaration of members' interests 0000-0000 makes clear, Elisabeth Murdoch is a shareholder in her father Rupert Murdoch's News Corp and Twenty First Century Fox! Much of her wealth invested into the arts by her Freelands Foundation must come from dividends from shares in these highly unethical organisations. It is quite possible that some of the money used to fund the arts by Freelands Foundation comes from The Sun! Just think about that. And Murdoch is now a senior figure in Arts Council England. This is disturbing, to say the least! Yet the Freelands Foundation also has links to Serota's wife, Theresa Gleadowe's arts companies. It is funding CAST (the Cornubian Arts & Science Trust) to deliver its three-year Groundwork project in Cornwall which was also awarded with £000,000 worth of Ambition for Excellence funding by Arts Council England in 0000. The Arts Council award was secured using £00,000 funding from Elisabeth Murdoch's foundation. CAST's other partners for their Groundwork project are Tate St Ives and Newlyn Art Gallery - Serota declared himself to have an interest in both these companies. Serota's full list of his interests makes for a very illuminating read that deserves far more investigation than I have time for here. Importantly, Serota's wife is a director of CAST and chair of its trustees. What's more, the Groundwork project is also supported by Kestle Barton Trust of which Serota's wife Gleadowe is a trustee. Kestle Barton is also funded by Arts Council England. The art world is, it seems, a small world. It is therefore unsurprising to learn that Teresa Gleadowe is also a director of Kneehigh Theatre - an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation which received an increase in annual funding earlier this year. Interestingly, the company lists Sir Nicholas Serota as one of its "champions". Kneehigh's previous director Emma Rice caused outrage in the art world by gaining NPO status from nowhere. The extremely influential Rice remains a current "revered accomplice" of Kneehigh Theatre. But, more importantly, Serota's wife is also chair of the board at Nottingham Contemporary - a company which won this year's Freelands Award which was selected by Elisabeth Murdoch and is worth £000,000. Strangely, Gleadowe was one of the Freelands Award selection panel! Even more surreal is the discovery that Gleadowe is also a member of the Freelands Foundation's advisory committee. So Serota has very close connections to Elisabeth Murdoch! The appointment of Elisabeth Murdoch is an outrage for all the obvious reasons. But it's just one part of a concerted corporate takeover of the arts by a self-entitled elite whose time is up! We need a radical change in how the arts works in this country. We need a radical redistribution of resources. We need equity and fairness for everyone. We need to decolonise the arts. And, to do that, we need to root out this sort of privileged, corporatist, self-serving class of English Arts Oligarchs. The appointment of Murdoch is a point of no return. We must fight for truly representative, truly democratic arts and culture. And we must start demanding that now! | 2019-04-19T22:53:34Z | null | {

At face value, SAP's recent acquisitions of Ariba, Syclo and Successfactors have little in common with one another. The common denominator seems to be the the shift from on-premise technology to cloud based technologies and SaaS in general but with the twist of mobility enablement but they are all likely all built on different technology stacks. The fact that Ariba has been around for 00 years and has successfully demonstrated a viable market for Spend and Contract Management undoubtedly helps justify the $00 per share but perhaps even more interesting, is the synergies with existing SAP technologies. There seem to be very few. Integration exists but essentially Ariba is wholly external. Looking back into a glimmering past, of course it was more than a decade ago that Ariba was duking it out with the now defunct CommerceOne. At the time they were considered two of the major contenders for the B0B market in the e-procurement and contracts space. Back in 0000, both were losing money. These days Ariba's net income is far from stellar but then SAP's investment in Ariba is a futures buy and clearly the decision to acquire has many facets that are not limited to buy vs. build and are probably more about client base acquisition and consolidation. There is significant product overlap but nonetheless Jason Busch gives a nice summary analysis of the existing functional gaps even after the acquisition. Some household brands that use both SAP and Ariba are Unilever, Home Depot, Target, Nestle, Sony, HP across many industry sectors. Bringing 0000 buyer customers, 00000 supplier customers, and more than 000000 companies from the Ariba network into the SAP fold will undoubtedly ultimately lead to discrepancies in usability and single point of interaction results when the two companies and their technologies ultimately merge but that's likely to be a few years out. Consider that even the BOBJ acquisition 0 years ago still leaves some technology gaps in the convergence of SAP reporting and BW and BOBJ. These facets are important from the perspective of business users, they will need to consider that their UI experience for some time at least, is going to involve more than one interface; that the UI experience will be different and that some of the integration technologies will be imperfect. Certainly there seems to be little in common in the underlying technologies applied by Syclo, SuccessFactors and Ariba so the assessment process of technical diligence must have been entertaining to say the least. The support model will likely be even more interesting. The acquisitions in some measure seem reminiscent of Oracle's acquisitions of Siebel and Peoplesoft and more recently Taleo for talent management , RightNow and ATG for service and customer relationship management and Endeca for search and analytics. The mashup of those technologies and user experiences undoubtedly continues to be challenging to manage and support. All of this should also be viewed in the context of supportability. SAP customers feel that the level of support that they get for BusinessObjects is less than stellar; this was the result of survey conducted by the SAP User Group. In the context of Winshuttle products the message is surely a little more encouraging. The current options of on-premise installation with desktop application or SharePoint form based technologies allows SAP customers to completely control the process, the UI and the collaboration scenarios that they want to enable for their business users. Leveraging existing technology stacks that include Microsoft Excel, Microsoft InfoPath and SAP ERP users can leverage their existing security credentials and IT supported processes but apply a new face and augment the process with out of the box workflows or customized workflows that do not involve large teams of implementation consultants. Most Winshuttle customers ‘roll their own' but do rely on Winshuttle Support for occasional technical assistance in understanding the nuances of working with different SAP transactions. The message then, is pretty simple. If you can do it using the SAP GUI UI there is a very strong chance that you can rapidly improve the user experience or the entry speed by applying a Winshuttle interface bound to a spreadsheet or a form. HTML forms and Excel centric data gathering are user experiences that most business users are intimately familiar with and deployment requires little more than valid SAP credentials for those touching SAP and MSOffice or an Internet browser. For most business users there's little or nothing to configure and for system architects and IT personnel there's the opportunity for rapid deployment and little or no backend configuration or changes. More importantly, this approach facilitates delegation of the design and the business process selection to the individual business units seeking to improve the user experience and accelerate business data processing and analytics. | 2019-04-23T20:44:34Z | null | {

I've received a couple of e-mails in the past week from people trying to use zDragDrop with a strict doctype. Apparently, I forgot to add the "px" on a couple of style measurements and that was causing the library to fail when using a strict doctype. So, I just quickly updated zDragDrop to include this fix (thanks to Pawan and Alan for pointing it out). This updated version is available in the Downloads section. | 2019-04-20T12:17:58Z | null | {

Dining at Culloden House Hotel usually takes place in the impressive dining room, complete with its plaster reliefs and Adam-inspired columns, which occupies the left rear portion of the of the main block of the hotel. An additional morning room can be used for private dining and for family groups with young children wishing to dine together. You can read our hotel review for Culloden House Hotel here. Lunch and dinner are both served by the hotel. Dinner is a journey of discovery. What you discover is just how good Scottish cuisine can be. There are two menus to choose from. The first is an à la carte menu offering a range of choices for starters, intermediates, main courses and desserts. The second is a daily changing set "Scottish Dinner Menu" offering distinctively Scottish dishes, some of which also appear on the à la carte menu. Any reference to specific dishes can only be indicative of what was on offer when we dined, but the starters of "herb and spice rolled carpaccio of Highland venison" and "Scottish smoked salmon, oak smoked and ginger cured" were equally superb. As were the intermediates of "timbale of haggis neeps and tatties" and "gin and tonic sorbet". And it becomes difficult to find superlatives sufficient to describe the mains of "tournedos of Scottish beef fillet" served with, among other things, wild garlic, and "honey glazed duck breast". The standard was maintained through the sweet course and the end result was one of the best all round dining experiences we have experienced anywhere. Culloden House has been awarded 0 AA Rosettes for its dining, but the reality far surpasses the expectations raised by this. The outstanding quality of the food itself is matched by the exceptional service, which is perfectly judged, and paced to suit the individual progress of the diners on different tables. It must be added that the quality of the food is matched by good helpings: no-one is likely to go to bed hungry. Breakfast is taken in the dining room, with all elements being served to you at your table. The outstanding quality of food and service we enjoyed at dinner was maintained at breakfast, making it one of the best we have experienced. Everything, from the obviously freshly squeezed fruit juices to the porridge was excellent. The cooked main courses included options of smoked haddock cutlets and grilled kipper fillets, or home made herb muffin with smoked salmon and scrambled egg. Plus a traditional Scottish fried breakfast it would be worth travelling a long way to enjoy. Here the menu offered a choice between back or smoked Scottish bacon, and between beef and onion or Cumberland pork sausage the latter an interesting twist in a hotel so closely associated with the Battle of Culloden. Plus everything else you would expect, and eggs perfectly cooked to your preference. You can read our hotel review for Culloden House Hotel here. | 2019-04-19T20:42:56Z | null | {

Report for 0000--The old "gym"--Continued financial stringency--College journalism--President Twombly elected--Report for 0000--Ladies' Hall opened--A plea for the land-grant--First tax levy--Raising the standard--Report for 0000--Resignation of Dr. Twombly. In their report for the year ending September 00, 0000, the regents express regret for their non-success, thus far, in filling the vacant presidential chair; but "it is extremely gratifying to be able to say, that the place has been most ably filled temporarily, by the honored Vice President," Professor Sterling. There has been a slight diminution in the aggregate attendance of students, which "finds abundant explanation in the stringency of the times, and the low price of farm productions. Many sons and daughters of farmers have been compelled, from this cause, to omit for a time their course of studies. Another cause may be found in the higher requirements for admission to the preparatory department and the more thorough examinations for admission, from which have come many rejections of applicants. The inability of the University to furnish rooms is still a drawback--for the price of board and rooms in the city is beyond the reach of many excellent students." They further state that a frame building for "drill and gymnastic exercises," containing as well an armory, and an office for the military instructor, has just been completed on the brow of the hill, northwestward of the main hall, at a cost of about $0,000; 0 which leaves at our disposal much room in University Hall, before occupied for military drill." It seems that this separate provision for the military department was "made on the urgent recommendation" of Col. Walter S. Franklin, the army officer detailed to fill the chair of military science and engineering; but Colonel Franklin had, after that, been withdrawn, and the board, feeling that the exigencies of the army service threaten to keep the military school in a state of uncertainty, are considering the advisability of paying "the expenses of this professorship from the funds of the University, in order to secure permanency in instruction." As fast as these lands are called for, they are sold at the minimum price of $0.00 per acre and the working of this system has no other effect than to realize for the University the lowest possible price for its endowment lands. We wish authority to withhold a portion of the best of these lands from market until the development of the regions where they are located will enable us to dispose of them at a far greater price. Had such a course been adopted on the organization of the University, we should now have had an ample endowment, and been saved the necessity of begging at the doors of the State Councils for the meagre sums necessary to make the institution one of even reasonable usefulness. An important event of the year 0000 was the issue, in June, of the first number of The University Press, of which George W. Raymer and James W. Bashford were editors and publishers; its columns were to be "always open to scientific, literary, and general news articles, written by the students, the professors, and the friends of the University." The Press was a monthly throughout 0000, and then appeared semi-monthly until September, 0000, when it became a weekly, continuing as such to the close of its very useful career. Its first rival was the weekly Campus appearing in October, 0000; after two months of existence, the Campus became the Badger, which was merged in the Press in September, 0000; that in turn was merged in the Aegis, October of the following year. The Aegis, at first a weekly, became a bi-weekly in September, 0000; and the literary monthly of the University, in October, 0000. The Daily Cardinal first appeared in April, 0000, and enjoys the reputation of being one of the best college dailies in the country. At the opening of the University, in September, 0000, two new college publications made their first appearance. The Sphynx, an illustrated humorous bi-weekly, upon the plan of the Harvard Lampoon and papers of that character; and The Wisconsin Alumni Magazine, an illustrated monthly edited by Charles E. Allen, '00, Florence E. Baker, '00, and others--it is to be sent free to members of the Alumni association, and "will be devoted to the dissemination of knowledge in regard to life at the University." At the annual meeting of the regents in June, 0000, Rev. Dr. John H. Twombly,0 lately superintendent of the public schools of Charlestown, Mass., an educator and a Methodist divine of some note, was called to the presidency of the University, and to fill the chair of mental and moral philosophy. He entered upon his duties here at the beginning of the new college year, in September. In their annual report, the regents say that "His high character, and long experience in collegiate and educational management, with his energy and practical knowledge, lead the Board to congratulate themselves and the University upon the good fortune which enabled them to place him at the head of the University." The annual report of the regents for 0000 announces the election to the professorship of military science and civil engineering, of Maj. William J. L. Nicodemus,0 U. S. A., retired, at a salary of $0,000, paid by the board. This election, together with that of the new president, enables them to "announce every department of the University in complete working order." The attendance of students in September of this year is greater than ever before, thus fully taxing the labors of the corps of instructors. "The Regents have great satisfaction in reporting the utmost harmony in the Faculty, from highest to lowest, and a cordiality between teachers and students which has called forth a marked energy and progress in studies, and a general good conduct on the part of the students. * * * The college classes are above the average of former years, both in numbers and scholarship, while an unusually large number of the preparatory students are fitting for the regular courses. Every feature of the present points to a steady growth in numbers and widening usefulness." Ladies' Hall was opened at the beginning of the school year 0000-00. "The growing conviction in the public mind for many years back, that very many avocations might be fairly opened to women, who had thus far in the history of the race been debarred from them, has borne fruit," say the regents, "in a liberal acquiescence to woman taking her place in the acquisition and practice of some of the scientific professions. Instructions have been given to carry out a system of education for the Female College, which, while it opens every department of the University to both sexes alike, yet leaves to the choice of the lady students as ambition or taste may dictate--to pursue in their own college under lady teachers--or with the regular college classes, the studies in which they desire full accomplishment * * * a conservative course, midway between the theories of those who would ride a hobby to personal popularity, and that of fogyism which yields nothing to the demands of a growing public opinion." A plea for the land-grant. These lands amount to something over 000,000 acres, and are located almost entirely in the northern portion of the State. The present and prospective development of the northern counties, by the building of a network of railroads, will tend greatly to enhance the value of these lands. Must these lands all be sold at the minimum price of $0.00 per acre, when a few years will so immensely increase their original value? If from the original endowment grants by Congress, there had been reserved until now, ten per cent of the lands, we should have had an endowment second to no college in the country. If we can now reserve twenty-five percent of the lands that remain of the grants, for a period of twenty years or so, a future generation of students will be able to reach all of the prosperity which the most sanguine friends of the University have ever hoped for it. Let not our posterity have to say of us that we ignored for them all the powers this generation holds in its hands, to lay broad and deep foundations for our University. Whereas, The university fund has suffered serious loss and impairment by such sales of its lands, so that its income is not at present sufficient to supply its wants, and cannot be made so by any present change of policy, inasmuch as the most valuable lands have already been sold; therefore, etc. This was the first State tax levied for the benefit of the University. We shall see that in 0000 it was increased to a tenth of a mill on each dollar of the assessed valuation of the state; and still farther increased, in 0000, to an eighth. In their report for 0000, the regents naturally express gratification at this promise of continuous state aid; they declare that the grant has "met with such cordial approbation by the people * * * that no doubt now remains that a hearty and generous support by the State, in future, will meet with the earnest approval of all friends of education." There were, indeed, evidences on every hand that the people of Wisconsin had at last risen to an adequate appreciation of their state University. Nowhere in the newspaper press of the time do we find any note of dissatisfaction at the initial tax levy of 0000. The attendance had now grown to 000, including the preparatory department, and naturally the expenses of administration and instruction were growing. The timely appropriation had enabled the regents to purchase long-needed apparatus, books, laboratory conveniences, "and what was of no less importance, the salaries of the hard-working professors and teachers were increased, placing them upon an equal footing with those of other colleges. This increase of salaries was necessary in order to retain some of our ablest professors, whose services were sought by higher salaries offered elsewhere." The board report that they "have had in view a gradual raising of the standard of admission and of scholarship, to such extent as eventually to do away entirely with the preparatory department. This result is steadily in progress of attainment, but must be done so gradually, without too greatly diminishing the number of students, as to give full employment to all professors and teachers." The regents have therefore secured the passage by the legislature of a law providing, conditionally, free tuition in the University to all graduates of high schools. "The examination for admission to such students is such as must tend largely toward raising the standard of scholarship in these schools, and thus in great measure answer the purpose of preparatory schools. It also makes University education a prize within the reach of all high school students, and brings the University more completely before the people." During this year (0000), ten students have availed themselves of the privilege, and been admitted to the college classes. The following year, forty-eight students came from this source, with a corresponding diminution in the attendance on the preparatory department; in 0000 came the system of accredited high schools, now in vogue, and three years later (0000) the time had arrived for the abolition of the preparatory department. In 0000, the board finds little of special moment upon which to report. The University is making good progress. "The pressing demand for increased accommodations will soon compel the Regents to ask for increased income, or to rest content with an institution of limited facilities, following behind others in character and usefulness in sister States, whose patrons look with deeper interest upon the advantages which are offered for the education of their youth." The past year has been one of substantial progress. The resignation of J. H. Twombly, as president, was accepted by the Regents on the 00st of January last. President John Bascom was invited to occupy the place, and entered on the discharge of his duties with the beginning of the spring term. The Regents are more than satisfied with the change, and do not hesitate to predict from it an effectual increase of good in the management of the University, and a far higher position for it among the colleges of the country. The passing of President Twombly signalized the close of the childhood of the University. With the entrance of President Bascom, 0 the University may be considered as having come into possession of the full vigor of early manhood. No longer was it "open to the charge of being little more than a respectable high school for Madison." 0 Henceforth it was not to be seriously affected by such vicissitudes as it had experienced in the past; it was at last felt to be a power in the State, the true head of the educational forces of the commonwealth, and with a splendid future before it. 0 The old "gym," an illy-constructed and poorly-equipped building, was destroyed by fire on the night of June 00, 0000. 0 Professor Irving, a grandnephew of Washington Irving, was born in New York City, April 00, 0000. He graduated from Columbia College in 0000, and spent three years in post-graduate work in the school of Mines connected with that institution. For a time he was assistant geologist on the State survey of Ohio, and then metallurgist in smelting works at Greenville, N. J. He was holding this latter position when called to the University of Wisconsin. In 0000 he was appointed assistant geologist on the Wisconsin State survey, holding the position for six years in connection with his University chair. He was special agent for the 00th federal census, as expert on Lake Superior explorations; and in 0000 was placed in charge of the United States geological survey in the Northwestern States,--a position he held, also in connection with his University work, at the time of his death, May 00, 0000. He had won great distinction in his profession, being the first of the faculty of the Wisconsin University to attain a position among leading men of science. See an appreciative sketch of his character and career, by President Bascom, in Badger, 0000, pp. 000-000. 0 Dr. Twombly was born in Rochester, N. H. He obtained his early education with difficulty, having to intersperse his studies with labor of various sorts-- carpentering, farming, and teaching. Finally, he graduated from the Wesleyan University at Middletown, Conn., in 0000. Being ordained a Methodist preacher, he at first taught in seminaries of his denomination; but from 0000 to 0000 was in charge of large congregations in different parts of Massachusetts. In 0000, he was chaplain of the Massachusetts senate; 0000-00, one of the overseers of Harvard College; 0000-00, secretary of the New England Education Society; 0000-00, director of the American Institute, and engaged in founding Boston University, of which he was a trustee. He had been upon the school boards of Worcester, Lynn, and Chelsea; and in 0000-00 was superintendent of the Charlestown public schools. Called to Wisconsin in June, 0000, he resigned January 00, 0000, and resumed his work in the ministry, going to Westfield, Mass.; later, he was at Springfield, and closed his career in charge of the Broadway Methodist church in Boston. His alma mater gave him the degree of M. A. in 0000, and D. D. in 0000. 0 Born at Cold Springs, Va., August 0, 0000, graduating from West Point in 0000. As lieutenant in the Fifth Infantry, he took part in the Utah expedition, and again (0000) in the Navajo expedition. Commissioned captain in the Twelfth, in October, 0000, he was engaged until the following June as acting assistant adjutant-general of the Department of New Mexico. At the battle of Valverde (February 00, 0000), he was brevetted major. In October, 0000, he was commissioned colonel of the Fourth Maryland Volunteers, and guarded recruits at Baltimore. In February, 0000, he was assigned to the signal service, having charge of the communications between Harper's Ferry and Washington. Promoted major in that service for gallant conduct in pursuing the enemy through Maryland, he later became lieutenant-colonel. He was in charge of the signal bureau at Washington from October, 0000, to December, 0000, and in 0000 was made inspector in the corps, being finally restored to the Twelfth Infantry. During 0000-00, he was in garrison at New York, Richmond, and Washington; then for two years gave military instruction at Western University Pittsburg). Being honorably discharged in December, 0000, he afterward came to Wisconsin University, where he was soon appointed on the State geological survey, in addition to his duties as teacher. He died in Madison, while still a member of the faculty, January 0, 0000. 0 The regents (Report 0000, p. 0) say that the legislature, "through its committees on Education," made a thorough examination of the conditions and wants of the University; investigated the manner in which its grant of lands had been located and sold, and said committee arriving at the same conclusion [as ourselves] as to the cause of the waste of its productive fund ['that it was more important that these lands should be sold, and the country settled as rapidly as possible'], prepared and introduced a bill * * * [which], after due deliberation, was passed by both houses of the Legislature." 0 President Bascom was born in Genoa, N. Y., May 0, 0000. He graduated from Williams College in 0000, and in 0000 from Andover Theological Seminary. In the same year he was chosen professor of rhetoric at Williams, and was holding that chair when called to the presidency of U. W. Resigning this post in 0000, he returned to Williams, of whose faculty he is still a member. Dr. Bascom has published numerous books, magazine articles, and addresses, and contributes largely to the leading critical reviews, his special fields being political economy and mental and moral philosophy. Amherst gave him the degree of LL. D. in 0000, and Grinnell (Iowa) that of D. D. in 0000. 0 "Board of Visitors' Report," 0000, in Report of Board of Regents for that year, p. 00. | 2019-04-20T07:02:01Z | null | {

Renato Candido, Diogo C. Soriano, Magno T. M. Silva, Marcio Eisencraft. Do chaos-based communication systems really transmit chaotic signals? Signal Processing, v.000, pp.000-000, Mar. 0000. Many communication systems based on the synchronism of chaotic systems have been proposed as an alternative spread spectrum modulation that improves the level of privacy in data transmission. However, depending on the map and on the encoding function, the transmitted signal may cease to be chaotic. Therefore, the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, which is one of the most interesting properties for employing chaos in telecommunications, may disappear.

Production I.G. has announced its intent to enter the virtual reality market by revealing a new app titled Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie Virtual Reality Diver (Koukaku Kitoudai Shin Gekijou-ban Virtual Reality Diver) for Oculus Rift. The app will contain an original 00-minute video, recorded in 000° 0D which can be viewed with VR. A 0-minute demo will also be available worldwide for the Rift on the App Store and Google Play. The full version will be released this winter for 000 yen, roughly $0 USD. In addition to the playable demo, Production I.G. will have a demo at its booth at Tokyo Game Show 0000 coming up this weekend. The demo will be shown on a 0-meter (roughly 00 feet) spherical screen so that it can be viewed by more than one person at once. Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie Virtual Reality Diver is part of "SIGN", a new project ongoing by Production I.G. in collaboration with Nobumichi Asai from visual design studio WOW, who has a history in 0D projection mapping. Also joining the project is Satoru Itoya, who has aided in the production of dome theater camera and projection hardware, and Toshiyuki Takahei, founder of Orihalcon Technologies, a video graphics design company. These three will be serving as creative director, technical producer, and technical director, respectively. In addition, Production I.G. has their own Mikio Gunji as executive producer, Atsunori Maeshima as producer, and assistant Hiroyuki Ogino working on the project as well. With this VR project, Production I.G. intends to create the physical sensation of being somewhere else, and to combine art with futuristic cyberpunk technology. The Oculus Rift is planned to ship its consumer model in the first quarter of 0000. Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie released in Japanese theaters in June 00, and Funimation plans to release the movie in North American theaters in the fall. | 2019-04-25T01:45:31Z | null | {

The SME Policy Index is a benchmarking tool designed for emerging economies to assess SME policy frameworks and monitor progress in policy implementation over time. The Index has been developed by the OECD in partnership with the European Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the European Training Foundation (ETF) in 0000. For the Eastern Partner Countries, the assessment framework is structured around the ten principles of the Small Business Act for Europe (SBA), providing a wide-range of pro-enterprise measures to guide the design and implementation of SME policies based on good practices promoted by the EU and the OECD. It is applied to the Eastern Partner Countries for the second time since 0000. The Index identifies strengths and weaknesses in policy design and implementation, allows for comparison across countries and measures convergence towards good practices and relevant policy standards. It aims to support governments in setting targets for SME policy development and to identify strategic priorities to further improve the business environment. It also helps to engage governments in policy dialogue and exchange good practices within the region and with OECD and EU members. The launch event is followed by a series of six country dissemination events in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine between January and April 0000. The dissemination events will bring together representatives from the government, the OECD, the European Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and European Training Foundation (ETF) as well as the business sector, academia, civil society and the media. The events will comprise a high-level public launch, followed by an in-depth discussion on the implementation of the proposed policy roadmaps. The purpose of the launch event for the SME Policy Index: Eastern Partner countries 0000 was to present the findings of the Small Business Act for Europe Assessment and discuss key developments and remaining challenges for the business environment - particularly, for SMEs - in EaP countries. It brought together representatives from the OECD, the European Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and European Training Foundation (ETF) as well as key policy stakeholders from the EaP countries. | 2019-04-19T04:26:55Z | null | {

It hardly falls within the scope of the present work to detail or discuss the various points concerning the history or statutes of the different British Orders of Knighthood, and still less so of the Foreign Orders. The history of the English Orders alone would make a bulky volume. But it is necessary to treat of the matter to some limited extent, inasmuch as in modern heraldry in every country in Europe additions are made to the armorial achievement whenever it is desired to signify rank in any of the Orders of Knighthood. Though a large number of the early Plantagenet Garter Stall plates date as far back as the year 0000, it is evident that nothing in the armorial bearings with which they are emblazoned bears any relation to the order of knighthood to which they belonged until the year 0000 or thereabouts, when Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, was elected a Knight of the Garter. His Stall plate, which is of a very exceptional style and character, is the first to bear the garter encircling the shield. It is curious to notice, by the way, that upon the privy seal of the Duke of Burgundy, which shows the same arms depicted upon his Garter plate, the shield is surrounded by the collar, from which depends the badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece, so that it is highly probable that the custom of adding marks of knighthood to a shield came to us from the Continent. The next Garter plate, which shows the garter around the shield, is that of Viscount Lovel, who was elected in 0000; and the shield of the Earl of Derby, who was elected in the same year, also is encircled by the Garter. The Garter itself encircling the shields of knights of that order remained the only mark of knighthood used armorially in this country for a considerable period, though we find that the example was copied in Scotland soon afterwards with regard to the Order of the Thistle. At the commencement of the present Lyon Register, which dates from the year 0000, the arms of the King of Scotland, which are given as such and not as the King of England and Scotland, are described as encircled by the collar of the Order of the Thistle. This probably was used as the equivalent of the garter in England, for we do not find the collar of the Garter, together with the garter itself, or the ribbon circle of the Thistle, together with the collar of that order, until a much later period. The use of collars of knighthood upon the Continent to encircle coats of arms has been from the fifteenth century very general and extensive; examples are to be found at an earlier date; but the encircling of arms with the garter carrying the motto of the order, or with the ribbon (which is termed the circle) and motto of any other order is an entirely English practice, which does not appear to have been copied in any other country. It, of course, arose from the fact that the actual garter as worn by the knight of the order carried the motto of the order, and that by representing the garter round the shield, the motto of the order was of necessity also added. The Lyon Register, however, in the entry of record (dated 0000), states that the shield is "encircled with the Order of Scotland, the same being composed of rue and thistles having the image of St. Andrew with his crosse on his brest yrunto pendent," and it is by no means improbable that occasional instances of the heraldic use of the collar of the garter might be discovered at the same period. But it is not until the later part of the eighteenth century that it obtained anything like a regular use. During the Hanoverian period it became customary to encircle the shield first with the garter, and that in its turn with the collar of the order whenever it was desired to display the achievement in its most complete style; and though even then, as at the present day, for less elaborate representations the garter only was used without the collar, it still remains correct to display both in a full emblazonment of the arms. An impetus to the practice was doubtless given by the subdivision of the Order of the Bath, which will be presently referred to. In speaking of the garter, the opportunity should be taken to protest strongly against the objectionable practice which has arisen of using a garter to encircle a crest or shield and to carry the family motto. No matter what motto is placed upon the garter, it is both bad form and absolutely incorrect for any one who is not a Knight of the Garter to use a garter in any heraldic display. A Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter encircles his escutcheon by a representation of the garter he wears. This is a belt of dark blue velvet edged with gold and ornamented with a heavy gold buckle and ornament at the end. It carries the motto of the Order, "Honi soit qui mal y pense," in gold letters of plain Roman character. Anciently the motto was spelled "Hony soit qy mal y pense," as may be noticed from some of the early Garter plates, and the style of the letter was what is now known as "Old English." The garter is worn buckled, with the end tucked under and looped in a specified manner, which is the method also adopted in heraldic representations. It is quite permissible to use the garter alone, but a Knight of the Order is allowed to add outside the garter the representation of the collar of the order. This is of gold, consisting of twenty-six buckled garters enamelled in the correct colour, each surrounding a rose, the garter alternated with gold knots all joined up by chain links of gold. From the collar depends the "George," or figure of St. George on horseback encountering the dragon, enamelled in colours. In heraldic representations it is usual to ignore the specified number of links in the collar. A Knight of the Garter as such is entitled to claim the privilege of a grant of supporters, but as nowadays the order is reserved for those of the rank of earl and upwards, supporters will always have a prior existence in connection with the peerage. Knights of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle are entitled to surround their arms with a plain circle of green edged with gold and bearing the motto in gold letters, "Nemo me impune lacessit." They are also entitled to surround their arms with the collar of the order, which is of gold, and composed of sprigs of thistle and rue (Andrew) enamelled in their proper colours. From the collar the badge (the figure of St. Andrew) depends. Knights of the Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick are entitled to surround their arms by a plain circle of sky-blue edged with gold, bearing the motto, "Quis Separabit. MDCCLXXXIII," as enamelled on the star of the order. This is encircled by the collar of the order, which is of "gold, composed of roses and harps alternately, tied together with knots of gold, the said roses enamelled alternately, white leaves within red and red leaves within white; and in the centre of the said collar shall be an Imperial crown surmounting a harp of gold, from which shall hang the badge." Knights of the Thistle and St. Patrick are entitled as such to claim a grant of supporters on payment of the fees, but these orders are nowadays confined to peers. The Most Honourable Order of the Bath. - Knights of the Bath, who have existed from a remote period, do not appear as such to have made any additions to their arms prior to the revival of the order in 0000. At that time, similarly to the Orders of the Garter and the Thistle, the order was of one class only and composed of a limited number of knights. Knights of that order were then distinguished by the letters K.B., which, it should be noted, mean Knight of the Bath, and not Knight Bachelor, as so many people now imagine. There is nobody at the present time who is entitled to use these letters. Upon those of the Bath plates which now remain in the chapel of Henry VII. in Westminster Abbey, no instance will be found in which the collar is represented outside the circle, which is pretty good evidence that although isolated examples may possibly be found at an earlier date, it was not the usual custom up to the end of the eighteenth century to encircle a shield with a collar of knighthood. These Knights of the Bath (K.B.), as they were termed, surrounded their escutcheons with circlets of crimson edged with gold, and bearing thereupon the motto of the order, "Tria juncta in uno," in gold letters. Although at that time it does not appear that the collar of the order was ever employed for armorial purposes, instances are to be found in which the laurel wreath surrounded the circlet with the motto of the order. In the year 0000, owing to the large number of officers who had merited reward in the Peninsular Campaign, it was considered necessary to largely increase the extent and scope of the order. For this purpose it was divided into two divisions - the Military Division and the Civil Division - and each of these were divided into three classes, namely, Knights Grand Cross (G.C.B.), Knights Commanders (K.C.B.), and Companions (C.B.). The then existing Knights of the Bath became Knights Grand Cross. The existing collar served for all Knights Grand Cross, but the old badge and star were assigned for the civil division of the order, a new pattern being designed for the military division. The number of stalls in Henry VII.'s Chapel being limited, the erection of Stall plates and the display of banners ceased; those then in position were allowed to remain, and still remain at the present moment. Consequently there are no Stall plates to refer to in the matter as precedents since that period, and the rules need to be obtained from other sources. They are now as follows: A Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath surrounds his arms with the circlet as was theretofore the case, and in addition he surrounds the circlet by his collar, from which depends the badge (either military or civil) of the division to which he belongs. The collar is really for practical purposes the distinguishing mark of a Knight Grand Cross, because although as such he is entitled upon payment of the fees to claim a grant of supporters, he is under no compulsion to do so, and comparatively but few avail themselves of the privilege. All Knights of the Bath, before the enlargement of the order, had supporters. A Knight Grand Cross of the military division encircles his arms with the laurel wreath in addition, this being placed outside the circlet and within the collar of the order. The collar is composed of gold having nine Imperial crowns and eight devices of the rose, the thistle, and shamrock issuing from a sceptre placed alternately and enamelled in their proper colours, the links being connected with seventeen knots enamelled white. The badges of the military and civil divisions differ considerably. Knights Commanders of the Bath have no collar and cannot claim a grant of supporters, but they encircle their shields with the circlet of the order, suspending their badge below the shield by the ribbon from which it is worn. Knights Commanders of the military division use the laurel wreath as do Knights Grand Cross, but no members of any class of the civil division are entitled to display it. Companions of the order (C.B.) do not use the helmet of a knight as does a G.C.B. or a K.C.B.; in fact, the only difference which is permissible in their arms from those of an undistinguished commoner is that they are allowed to suspend the badge of a C.B. from a ribbon below their shields. They do not use the circlet of the order. Certain cases have come under my notice in which a military C.B. has added a laurel wreath to his armorial bearings, but whether such a practice is correct I am unaware, but I think it is not officially recognised. The Most Exalted Order of the Star of India (like the Order of the Bath as at present constituted) is divided into three classes, Knights Grand Commanders, Knights Commanders, and Companions. Knights Grand Commanders place the circlet of the order around their shields. This is of light blue inscribed with the motto, "Heaven's light our guide." This in its turn is surrounded by the collar of the order, which is composed of alternate links of the Indian lotus flower, crossed palm-branches, and the united red and white rose of England. In the centre of the collar is an Imperial crown from which depends the badge of the order, this being an onyx cameo of the effigy of her late Majesty Queen Victoria within the motto of the order, and surmounted by a star, the whole being richly jewelled. The surrounding of the shield by the circlet of the order doubtless is a consequence and follows upon the original custom of the armorial use of the garter, but this being admitted, it is yet permissible to state that that practice came from the Continent, and there is little reason to doubt that the real meaning and origin of the custom of using the circlet is derived from the Continental practice which has for long been usual of displaying the shield of arms upon the star of an order of knighthood. The star of every British order - the Garter included - contains the circlet and motto of the order, and it is easy to see how, after depicting the shield of arms upon the star of the order, the result will be that the circlet of the order surrounds the shield. No armorial warrant upon the point is ever issued at the creation of an order; the thing follows as a matter of course, the circlet being taken from the star to surround the shield without further authorisation. Upon this point there can be no doubt, inasmuch as the garter which surrounds the shield of a K.G. is in all authoritative heraldic paintings buckled in the peculiar manner in which it is worn and in which it is depicted upon the star. The Star of the Thistle shows the plain circlet, the Star of St. Patrick the same, and the arms of a Knight of St. Patrick afford a curious confirmation of my contention, because whilst the motto of the order is specified to be, "Quis separabit," the circlet used for armorial purposes includes the date (MDCCLXXXIII.) as shown upon the star. The Order of the Bath, again, has a plain circlet upon the star, and the badges and stars of the military knights have the laurel wreath represented in heraldic drawings, the laurel wreath being absent from the stars and the shields of those who are members of the civil division. Now with regard to the Order of the Star of India the motto on the star is carried upon a representation of a ribbon which is tied in a curious manner, and my own opinion is that the circlet used to surround the shield of a G.C.S.I. or K.C.S.I. should (as in the case of the garter) be represented not as a simple circlet like the Bath or Thistle, but as a ribbon tied in the curious manner represented upon the star. This tying is not, however, duplicated upon the badge, and possibly I may be told that the circlet and its use are taken from the badge and not from the star. The reply to such a statement is, first, that there is no garter upon the badge of that order, there is no circlet on the badge of the Thistle, and the circlet on the badge of St. Patrick is surrounded by a wreath of trefoils which in that case ought to appear round the shield of a K.P. This wreath of trefoils is absent from the K.P. star. Further, no Companion of an Order is permitted to use the Circlet of the Order, whilst every Companion has his badge. No Companion has a star. Though I hold strongly that the circlet of the Star of India should be a ribbon tied as represented on the star of the order, I must admit I have never yet come across an official instance of it being so represented. This, however, is a point upon which there is no definite warrant of instruction, and is not the conclusion justifiable that on this matter the officers of arms have been led into a mistake in their general practice by an oversight and possible unfamiliarity with the actual star? A Knight Grand Commander is entitled to claim a grant of supporters on payment of the fees. A Knight Commander encircles his shield with the circlet of the order and hangs his badge from a ribbon below, a Companion of the Order simply hangs the badge he wears below his shield. The Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. - This order again is divided into three classes - Knights Grand Cross, Knights Commanders, and Companions. Knights Grand Cross place the circlet of the order and the collar with the badge around their shields, and, like other Knights Grand Cross, they are entitled to claim a grant of supporters. The circlet of the order is of blue edged with gold, and bearing in gold letters the motto of the order, "Auspicium melioris ævi." The collar is composed alternately of lions of England, of Maltese crosses, and of the ciphers S.M. and S.G., and having in the centre an Imperial crown over two lions passant guardant, each holding a bunch of seven arrows. At the opposite point of the collar are two similar lions. The whole is of gold except the crosses, which are of white enamel, and the various devices are linked together by small gold chains. Knights Commanders of the Order encircle their shields with a similar circlet of the order, and hang their badges below. A Companion simply suspends his badge from a ribbon below his shield. The Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire. - This order is divided into three classes - Knights Grand Commanders, Knights Commanders, and Companions. Knights Grand Commanders and Knights Commanders encircle their shields with the circlet of the order, which is of purple inscribed in letters of gold, with the motto of the order, "Imperatricis auspiciis." The collar of the order, which is used by the Knights Grand Commanders, in addition to the circle, is composed of elephants, lotus flowers, peacocks in their pride, and Indian roses, and in the centre is an Imperial crown, the whole being linked together by chains of gold. Knights Commanders suspend their badges from their shields. Companions are only permitted to suspend their badges from a ribbon, and, as in the cases of the other orders, are not allowed to make use of the circlet of the order. The Royal Victorian Order is divided into five classes, and is the only British order of which this can be said. There is no collar belonging to the order, so a G.C.V.O. cannot put one round his shield. Knights Grand Cross surround their shields with the circlet of the order, which is of dark blue carrying in letters of gold the motto, "Victoria." Knights Commanders and Commanders also use the circlet, with the badge suspended from the ribbon. Members of the fourth and fifth classes of the Order suspend the badge which they are entitled to wear below their shields. The "Victorian Chain" is quite apart from the Victorian Order, and up to the present time has only been conferred upon a very limited number. It apparently exists by the pleasure of His Majesty, no statutes having been ordained. The Distinguished Service Order, the Imperial Service Order, and the Order of Merit are each of but one class only, none of them conferring the dignity of knighthood. They rank heraldically with the Companions of the other Orders, and for heraldic purposes merely confer upon those people entitled to the decorations the right to suspend the badges they wear below their shields or lozenges as the case may be, following the rules observed by other Companions. The Victoria Cross, the Albert Medal, the Edward Medal, the Conspicuous Service Cross, the Kaisar-i-Hind Medal, the Royal Red Cross, the Volunteer Officers' Decoration, the Territorial Decoration, and the Decoration of the League of Mercy all rank as decorations. Though none confer any style or precedence of knighthood, those entitled to them are permitted to suspend representations of such decorations as are enjoyed below their shields. The members of the Orders of Victoria and Albert and of the Crown of India are permitted to display the badges they wear below their lozenges. Some people, notably in the early part of the nineteenth century, adopted the practice of placing war medals below the escutcheons amongst other decorations. It is doubtful, however, how far this practice is correct, inasmuch as a medal does not technically rank as a decoration or as a matter of honour. That medals are "decorations" is not officially recognised, with the exception, perhaps, of the Jubilee medal, the Diamond Jubilee medal, and the Coronation medal, which have been given a status more of the character of a decoration than of simple medals. The Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England does not rank with other orders or decorations, inasmuch as it was initiated without Royal intervention, and carries no precedence or titular rank. In 0000, however, a Royal charter of incorporation was obtained, and the distribution of the highest offices of the order in the persons of the Sovereign, the Prince of Wales, and other members of the Royal Family has of late years very much increased its social status. The Order is, however, now recognised to a certain extent, and its insignia is worn at Court by duly appointed authority. The Crown is gradually acquiring a right of veto, which will probably eventually result in the order becoming a recognised honour, of which the gift lies with the Crown. In the charter of incorporation, Knights of Justice and Ladies of Justice were permitted to place as a chief over their arms the augmentation anciently used by knights of the English language of the original Roman Catholic Celibate Order. The chief used is: "Gules, charged with a cross throughout argent, the cross embellished in its angles with lions passant guardant and unicorns passant alternately both or," as in the cross of the order. The omission, which is all the more inexplicable owing to the fact that Garter King of Arms is the officer for the order, that the heraldic provisions of this charter have never been conveyed, as should have been the case, in a Royal Warrant to the Earl Marshal, has caused some confusion, for the officers of the College of Arms, when speaking officially, decline to admit the insignia of the order in any official emblazonment of arms. Lyon King of Arms has been less punctilious. Knights of Justice, Knights of Grace, and Esquires of the Orders all suspend the badges they wear from a black watered-silk ribbon below their shields (Fig. 000), and Ladies of Justice and Ladies of Grace do the same below their lozenges. The arms of members of the Order are frequently depicted superimposed upon the Cross. By the Statutes of the Order Knights of Justice were required to show that all their four grandparents were legally entitled to bear arms, but so many provisions for the exercise of discretion in dispensing with this requirement were at the same time created that to all intents and purposes such a regulation might never have been included. Some of the Knights of Justice even yet have no arms at all, others are themselves grantees, and still others would be unable to show what is required of them if the claims of their grandparents were properly investigated. It should perhaps be stated that supporters, when granted to Knights Grand Cross as such, are personal to themselves, and in the patents by which they are granted the grant is made for life only, no hereditary limitation being added. Any person in this country holding a Royal Licence to wear the insignia of any foreign order is permitted to adopt any heraldic form, decoration, or display which that order confers in the country of origin. Official recognition exists for this, and many precedents can be quoted. Fig. 000. - "Bailli-profès" of the Catholic Order of the Knights Hospitallers or the Order of Malta. The rules which exist in foreign countries concerning heraldic privileges of the knights of different orders are very varied, and it is impossible to briefly summarise them. It may, however, be stated that the most usual practice is to display the shield alone in the centre of the star (Fig. 000). As with us, the collars of the orders are placed around the shields, and the badges depend below, but the use of the circlet carrying the motto of the order is exclusively a British practice. In the case of some of the Orders, however, the official coat of arms of the order is quartered, impaled, or borne in pretence with the personal arms, and the cross patée of the Order of the Dannebrog is to be met with placed in front of a shield of quarterings, the charges thereupon appearing in the angles of the cross. I am not sure, however, that the cases which have come under my notice should not be rather considered definite and hereditary grants of augmentation, this being perhaps a more probable explanation than that such a method of display followed as a matter of course on promotion to the order. The Grand Masters of the Teutonic Order quarter the arms of that order with those of their families. The Knights of the Order of St. Stephen of Tuscany bear the arms of that order in chief over their personal arms. Fig. 000 represents the manner in which a "Bailli-profès" (Grand Cross) of the real Catholic and Celibate Order of St. John of Malta places the chief of the order on his shield, the latter being imposed upon a Maltese star (this being white) and the badge of the order depending below. The "Knight-profès" does not use the chief of the order. In the German Protestant Order of Malta (formerly Bailiwick of Brandenburg) the Commendatores place the shield of their arms upon the Cross of Malta. The Knights of Justice ("Richtsritter") on the contrary assume the cross upon the shield itself, whilst the Knights of Grace suspend it from the bottom of the shield. The members of the ancient Order of La Cordelière formerly encircled their lozenges with a representation of the Cordelière, which formed a part of their habit; and the officers of the Ecclesiastical Orders frequently surround their escutcheons with rosaries from which depend crucifixes. Whether this latter practice, however, should be considered merely a piece of artistic decoration, or whether it should be regarded as an ecclesiastical matter or should be included within the purview of armory, I leave others to decide. By a curious fiction, for the origin of which it is not easy to definitely account, unless it is a survival of the celibacy required in certain orders, a knight is not supposed to share the insignia of any order of knighthood with his wife. There is not the slightest doubt that his own knighthood does confer upon her both precedence and titular rank, and why there should be any necessity for the statement to be made as to the theoretical position has long been a puzzle to me. Such a theory, however, is considered to be correct, and as a consequence in modern times it has become a rigid rule that the arms of the wife of a knight must not be impaled upon a shield when it is displayed within the circlet of an order. No such rule existed in ancient times, and many instances can be found in which impaled shields, or the shield of the wife only, are met with inside a representation of the Garter. In the warrant recently issued for Queen Alexandra the arms of England and Denmark are impaled within a Garter. This may be quite exceptional and consequent upon the fact that Her Majesty is herself a member of the Order. Nevertheless, the modern idea is that when a Knight of any Order impales the arms of his wife, he must use two shields placed accollé, the dexter surmounting the sinister (Fig. 000). Upon the dexter shield is represented the arms of the knight within the circlet, or the circlet and collar, as the case may be, of his order; on the sinister shield the arms of the knight are impaled with those of his wife, and this shield, for the purpose of artistic balance, is usually surrounded with a meaningless and inartistic floral or laurel wreath to make its size similar to the dimensions of the dexter shield. The widow of a knight of any Order is required at present to immediately discontinue the use of the ensigns of that Order, and to revert to the plain impaled lozenge which she would be entitled to as the widow of an undecorated gentleman. As she retains her titular rank, such a regulation seems absurd, but it undoubtedly exists, and until it is altered must be conformed to. Knights Grand Cross and Knights Commanders, as also Knights Bachelors, use the open affronté helmet of a knight. Companions of any order, and members of those orders which do not confer any precedence or title of knighthood, use only the close profile helmet of a gentleman. A Knight Bachelor, of course, is at liberty to impale the arms of his wife upon his escutcheon without employing the double form. It only makes the use of the double escutcheon for Knights of Orders the more incomprehensible. Reference should also be made to the subject of impalement, which will be found in the chapter upon Marshalling.

I really like Flipgrid. It's easy to use. It's collaborative. It's visual. It works across all platforms. Yup. It's free. And not in the lower tier, fewer options, not as powerful or cool, I can't afford the Paid version so I'm using the crappy version kind of free. Free as in . . . totally free to access all of the cool, up until a week ago it used to cost money features. So now I really like Flipgrid. Here's the deal. There used to be several versions of Flipgrid. A free version and two expensive versions. And while you could do some really cool stuff with the free, less featured version, the paid versions were so much cooler. As in: you got unlimited grids, unlimited topics, more choices on video length, responses to videos, and replies to those responses. You could move and duplicate grid structure and content. Embed fully-functional grids into other environments such as an LMS or class websites. Assess, document, and provide quantitative and qualitative feedback to individual students in a private, simple way. You know . . . all the cool stuff. But it cost money. A few weeks ago, I got hooked back into Flipgrid. I joined several years ago and messed with it a bit. Talked with others about it. Used it a few times. And then, like a lot of the new tools I get the chance to play with, I threw it on the pile with the rest on the Island of Misfit Toys. Not that it was broken. Some other shiny thing caught my attention and I moved on. Then last month I needed something quick, easy, and fun to use with a group of elementary teachers for a reflection activity. So . . . Flipgrid. And it was awesome. I'm back. You may have already made the switch. If you have, quietly move along. You're probably happy with EdPuzzle and there's nothing to see here. That leaves two kinds of people. Those of you still be looking for that perfect Zaption replacement. And those of you who never went down the Zaption road at all and have no idea what we're talking about. At its most basic level, Zaption was a way for you to take a video clip from a variety of sources including YouTube, Vimeo clip, Khan Academy, and other educational video outlets and add interactive elements such as multiple choice questions, open response boxes, text, images, and drawings. Students responded to the elements you embedded. You tracked their responses using Zaption's analytics feature. Everybody was happy. You should have noticed the past verb tense going on. Zaption was a great tool for annotating videos and embedding formative / summative assessments tools into video clips. It was a great example of a push / pull edtech tool - giving teachers a way to push content and assessment out to students and a way for teachers to pull in work back from students. But Zaption no longer exists, having sold out to something called Workday. No idea what Workday does but what it means for Zaption users is that a very cool tool won't be available after September 00. | 2019-04-23T14:08:18Z | null | {

Upbeat on plans: Girija Pande of TCS says the company's revenues from its Chinese operations will grow by around 00% in the next two years. Hyderabad: With business from the US and Europe expected to decrease due to the ongoing financial turmoil, Indian information technology services (IT) firms are increasing their focus on the Asia Pacific region, particularly China, in an effort to tap the latter's IT market and use it as a strategic base to enter the at least $000 billion (Rs0.00 trillion)-a-year Japanese IT market. Business from the US and Europe together account for between 00% and 00% of revenues of the top five Indian IT services firms, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd or TCS, Infosys Technologies Ltd, Wipro Ltd, Satyam Computer Services Ltd and HCL Technologies Ltd. Market research firm IDC estimates the Chinese IT services market to reach at least $00 billion by 0000. TCS entered China in 0000 with a software development and delivery center. While its initial objective was to serve its global clients having Chinese operations, the company has now started addressing the regional and local market. Currently, it has 0,000 employees working in China. In its latest annual report, TCS said its China operations had managed to break even. According to Girija Pande, executive vice-president and head of Asia Pacific division at TCS, the Chinese IT market is growing by at least 00% annually and revenue from the company's Chinese operations will grow by around 00% in the next two years. "In the short term, we will be expanding our presence and increasing the headcount to at least 0,000 by 0000," said Pande. Similarly, Infosys has a 0,000-strong workforce in China and said it is in expansion mode. "We have expanded our operations in two cities Shanghai and Hangzhou," a company spokesperson said in an email response. The company's Chinese subsidiaries, however, were still loss-making as on 00 September, according to the company's second quarter results. Satyam admitted it is yet to make significant headway with its China operations but said it is in expansion mode with an eye on the long-term. The company currently employs around 0,000 people in its two subsidiaries in China and plans to scale up headcount to nearly 0,000 by 0000. It is also investing in a training centre in China, which will have a capacity of at least 0,000 by 0000. "It is still a mystery why Indian companies have not been able to get any significant share of outsourced work from China and Japan," said Virender Aggarwal, head of rest of the world operations for Satyam. Analysts acknowledge that China has been a rather difficult market for a variety of reasons. "So far, the Chinese domestic market has been one that is difficult to engage, primarily because of state and public sector dominance," said Milan Sheth, partner and head of IT outsourcing advisory at audit and consulting firm Ernst and Young. "It is critical to have a well connected and established Chinese local partner who can help penetrate that market," he said. TCS said it views China as a better base to address the Japanese market. "A significant share of outsourced work from the Japanese market is cornered by Chinese companies, as they have a relative cultural and linguistic advantage over their Indian counterparts. We see being present in China as the first step in building the right relationships," said Pande. Both TCS and Satyam are betting on local talent to succeed in their Chinese operations and help the company better address the local market as well as help build bridges with Japanese companies. At least 00% of TCS' workforce in China comprises local hires. Nasscom's Som Mittal said that the size of the Japanese IT market and the potential for outsourcing presents a huge opportunity for Indian IT firms, but, he added that the market has been relatively insulated due to language and cultural barriers. "However, we see an increasing desire among Japanese companies for sourcing competitively priced IT services from foreign companies. More importantly, the factors limiting market penetration by Indian companies are being recognized and addressed by the Japanese themselves." Nasscom has set up a Japan desk to explore ways for Indian IT companies to adapt themselves to compete more effectively in the Japanese market. Both China and Japan are long-term plays, said experts. "It is very important for Indian IT companies to understand that investments in the Chinese market should be done with a long term view. Given the nature of that market, it is unrealistic to expect quick turnarounds," Sheth said. Wipro and HCL did not respond to queries on their China and Japan strategy. | 2019-04-25T13:51:30Z | null | {

JOHN REED, recognized as one of the best ''patter'' men performing in Gilbert and Sullivan operas, has been singing such quintessentially comedic roles as the Lord Chancellor in ''Iolanthe'' and Ko-Ko in ''The Mikado'' for more than 00 years. On Saturday, he and the other members of the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players will perform ''Iolanthe,'' a satire set in a fairyland, at the Palace Theater in Stamford. As a ''patter'' man, Mr. Reed must speak lines that are exercises in rapid-fire phonetics. ''It's just fast and furious,'' said Mr. Reed, a native of northern England who now splits his career between Britain and the United States. One of the most famous patter songs in the Gilbert and Sullivan repertory is ''The Nightmare Song'' from ''Iolanthe,'' which he performs. ''It goes on forever,'' Mr. Reed said. ''Iolanthe'' will treat lovers of breathless buffoonery to not one but three such exercises in elocution, all performed by Mr. Reed. Mr. Reed has to have impeccable diction to get the lyrics across to the audience. And every single note has to be right. But in 0000, when he joined the famous D'Oyly Carte Company in London, which was founded in 0000 by Richard D'Oyly Carte, the producer of the first operas by William S. Gilbert and Arthur S. Sullivan, things were different. But by 0000, Mr. Reed had taken over all the company's comedic roles. There were eight performances every week, then seven or eight tours in England and abroad. ''I wonder how we did it,'' he said. His efforts were deemed worthy by Queen Elizabeth II, who bestowed him with the Order of the British Empire in 0000. Mr. Reed left the D'Oyly Carte two years before its demise in 0000. Three years ago, Mr. Reed performed in the Washington Opera production of ''Trial by Jury'' at the Kennedy Center. That is where he met Mr. Bergeret, and they have performed together several times since. Now Mr. Reed spends half his time performing and the other half directing. For the past several summers he has directed Gilbert and Sullivan shows for the Colorado Music Theater Festival in Boulder. The curtain goes up at 0 P.M. Call the Palace Theater box office at 000-0000 for tickets and information. | 2019-04-25T02:28:19Z | null | {

Funniest Wheeling Incident: I was going to pick up dinner and decided I'd cut through a flat grassy field when I accidently ended up in a mud pit. I was completely sunk up to the frame and had to be pulled out. I learned to always be ready for the unexpected, always have a strap with you and look where you are going. Anything to add?: I would like to give a shout-out to Boss Steen Swamp Raceway in New Hebron, Miss. Funniest Wheeling Incident: I was waiting for the vehicle in front of me on a trail at Superlift Off Road Park in Hot Springs, Ark., when I learned the hard way that I was next to a hornets' nest. I was swatting like crazy and got a nice welt under one eye. Folks thought I had gone crazy when I jumped out of my Bronco. Funniest Wheeling Incident: After adding the lift and tires I was coming down Fireman's Hill near Boulder and parked it on its nose. It was amazing that it did not go over! Anything you would change?: After lots of hard wheeling the unibody is starting to wear out. The next rig needs a frame. Wheeling Incident: Throwing mud all over my 0-year-old, who was strapped in his car seat. He didn't think it was that funny. Does everything work the way you want?: It needs a front locker! Anything you would change?: Did I mention the front locker? Also gears and mud-terrain tires. | 2019-04-25T19:16:38Z | null | {

A Jumper Style Coverall, designed to give the full skirt protection that much farm work and gardening requires. Roomy pockets are conveniently placed. The front opening makes it easy to put on and take off. Knee-length leggings are included. One of the problems that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) had to contend with during both world wars was a shortage of agricultural labor. Men who didn't enlist were recruited to work in industries supporting the war effort, making them unavailable to work their own farms or to work as hired hands. Women stepped up to fill the short fall, sometimes by enlisting in the Women's Land Army, often by taking on more responsibilities on their family's or local farms. Overalls for women started to be marketed during World War I, and women had started wearing trousers in public in the 0000s, generally as sporty wear, so by the start of WWII the idea of women in trousers wasn't entirely new. Yet the USDA seems to have felt there was a need to offer some support for women who needed to do dirty agricultural work but weren't ready to wear trousers or overalls. A sturdy apron and leggings were apparently seen to be a workable solution. Here's a terrific image of women at the USDA designing work clothes for women at this period. Many thanks to Jim Christensen for pointing out that this very ensemble was described and illustrated in Clarice Louisba Scott's book Work Clothes for Women, issued by the USDA in June, 0000. By WWII "coverall" is a fairly common term for this type of apron. ("Overall" seems to have been used in Great Britain.) Patterns for leggings for girls show up throughout the '00s and '00s, usually as part of a winter ensemble including a coat and hat. This is the first time I've seen a leggings pattern for women. The option to use 0/0" studs (snap fasteners) is uncommon. This is an unprinted pattern and does not appear to have been used. Originally published on 00 January 0000, updated with additional documentary evidence on 00 January, 0000. This was a very interesting post. I wonder how well those leggings stayed up while the women worked? I was also surprised that the pattern itself was in a larger size. Wow, how fabulous! Thanks for the info on early workwear. Great post! Mona I wondered that myself about the leggings. They have elastic around the top, so if you got your elastic just right, I imagine they'd be about like knee socks, which is to say, I'm sure they slipped after a while and you'd need to give them a yank. There is also a strap under the foot to keep them from twisting. The nice thing about the more utilitarian patterns is that they do tend to come in a wide size range. I adore this apron! How practical and pretty! A lot of what we get today in the way of work garments are so ugly. VERY COOL! I love it!!!!!!!!!! Another pattern I wished I owned myself... at first I thought the coverall had sleeves and a collar and was meant to appear as a jumper, but now I think it's a sleeveless garment and the sleeves/collar are just the wearer's regular duds underneath... am I right? I actually think those "leggings" would be a really useful addition to my own wardrobe, since I wear dresses all the time. | 2019-04-26T12:36:51Z | null | {

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA (February 00, 0000) - The Pacific Challenge Series presented by PenneyLawyers.com has completed its 0000 schedule announcements with Ukiah Speedway set for July 00th. The touring Super Late Model series is set for ten races at five tracks in 0000, spanning across northern and central California. Located on the Redwood Empire Fairgrounds, the quarter-mile Ukiah Speedway has been a fixture on the series calendar from its inception. PCS and Ukiah Speedway officials aim to make the most of the sole appearance at the track compared to three visits in 0000. 0000 and 0000 champion Jeremy Doss of nearby Upperlake, CA won two of last year's races while series runner-up and 0000 champion Mike Beeler won the July race to be the event's defending winner. Drivers such as Hunter Corbitt and Chris Scribner earned their first career series wins at the track while JR Courage led 00 laps last July en route to a second place finish and 0000 Rookie of the Year Matt Wendt ran up front early in the May race. The smaller track has produced some of the closest racing and creates perhaps the most even playing field in the series. The 0000 Pacific Challenge Series fires off March 00th at Madera Speedway before traveling to Roseville's All American Speedway on April 00th, Shasta Speedway on May 0th, and Stockton 00 Speedway on May 00th. SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA (February 00, 0000) - The Pacific Challenge Series presented by PenneyLawyers.com has confirmed the ninth date for its 0000 campaign, to bring the touring Super Late Model series to four tracks signed for the upcoming season. The PCS will return to its largest track at Anderson, CA's Shasta Speedway on May 0. It will mark the seventh time PCS has raced at the 0/0ths mile located on the Tehama County Fairgrounds. | 2019-04-20T02:24:51Z | null | {

Dr. Geller and his team did an amazing job from start to finish. From the moment I walked in I felt comfortable and welcome. Dr. Geller's expertise in dental care is beyond any other dentist I have experienced. He will make it known that despite being a dentist for 00 years, he never stops learning and taking classes to improve his skills and learn the latest and greatest ways to treat a patient. I had a root canal which was remarkably painless (despite all the fearful things I heard of them before coming in). He also specializes in implants and crowns, so he fixed my crooked front tooth as well! All my best to Dr. Geller and his team, he is my go-to dentist from now on. Through, answers your questions, great staff. I am very pleased with services overall. She was very patient with my daughter, my daughter loved her! His staff os very friendly and explained everything thoroughly. Loved it! As much as you can love a visit to the dentist. :) everyone was professional, attentive and friendly.

A top aide to Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei praised Hamas for not abandoning its armed struggle against Israel, during a meeting Saturday with the terror group's visiting delegation in Tehran. "We congratulate you for declaring that you will not set your weapons aside and for describing it as your red line," said international affairs adviser Ali Akbar Velayati, according to the semi-official Fars news agency. In a separate meeting Saturday, Admiral Ali Shamkhani, Iran's secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, sent a similar message to the terror group, expressing hope that Hamas would continue to be a "central pioneer of the Palestinian resistance," according to Iran's Press TV. During the meeting, Shamkhani condemned ostensible American and Israeli attempts to remove the Palestinian issue from the international agenda, the report said. "The U.S. and the Zionist regime feel threatened by any balance shift in the Middle East in favor of regional people and governments engaged in the fight against terrorism. They seek to obstruct the path of anti-terrorism fight by bringing up unfounded pretexts such as blocking Iran's regional sway," Shamkhani said. Hamas deputy chief Salah al-Arouri, who is leading the delegation, thanked Iran for its patronage and noted that senior officials in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip were interested in expanding ties with Tehran. Aruri noted that Israel had set three preconditions for the beginning of negotiations, including the disarmament of Hamas, recognition of Israel, and severing ties with Iran. "In response to the first prerequisite that was disarmament of Hamas, we have declared that we don't accept it at all," he said, adding that they also totally reject the second condition of recognizing Israel. "Our presence in Iran is the practical denial of the third precondition that was cutting ties with Iran," Aruri stressed. He commended Iran's important support for the Palestinian people and said Hamas leaders are determined to boost cooperation with Iran. He also condemned Takfiri groups' acts of violence in the name of Islam and said such inhumane measures are aimed at serving the interests of the U.S., Israel and their allies. The high-ranking Hamas delegation began its visit to Iran on Friday to inform its backers in Tehran about reconciliation efforts with rival Palestinian faction Fatah, an official from the terror group told AFP. Aruri is leading a high-ranking Hamas delegation which arrived in Tehran on Friday for talks with Iranian officials including Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. "No one in the universe can disarm us. On the contrary, we will continue to have the power to protect our citizens. No one has the ability to extract from us recognition of the occupation," Yahya Sinwar said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet said in a statement on Tuesday that Tel Aviv would not engage in negotiations with a future Palestinian unity government that had the backing of Hamas. Both Hamas and its Ramallah-based rival Fatah were quick to brush off Netanyahu's threats, with the Palestinian Authority saying such a hostile stance would not affect the nation's resolve to pursue its goals. | 2019-04-21T00:36:31Z | null | {

Originally scheduled for last Monday but postponed until today (Friday), West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini and his trusted sidekick Mario Husillos will finally chew the cud with co-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold and this summer's plans are hopefully a bit clearer. After the respective parties enjoyed their breaks away from the game for a little while this summer, the serious business can begin. Not that the business hasn't been serious already, but now it's expected to ramp up a notch from where it has been. The four men will have discussed plenty ahead of the new campaign but you suspect transfer targets will have been top of the agenda. Pellegrini and the first team players jet out to eastern Switzerland on Monday afternoon to begin their pre-season training camp in the country, alongside one pre-season fixture, so you suspect Pellegrini will be a fairly occupied with that for the following 00 days. Now is the time that Husillos will start to earn his coin, having not really be involved in the moves for Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop and Lukasz Fabianski. He was Pellegrini's pick for the job, Sullivan accepted, now he's got to get busy. West Ham's transfer business has been kept very secretive so far this summer, not for the lack of trying from the press to get some gossip, and that list will now have been defined by the four gents. What could they be discussing at Sullivan's mansion, then? Felipe Anderson latest - is he worth the hassle? Seemingly the answer, at least Pellegrini will say so, is yes or the club wouldn't still be pursuing the Brazilian as the saga has dragged on now for the best part of a month. Lazio president Claudio Lotito wants £00m for Anderson plus add-ons, West Ham are not budging on £00m plus add-ons. Pellegrini will have probably wanted this done by now so Anderson could maybe head out to Switzerland for the tour but that looks unlikely now. He was expected to be the marquee signing this summer, smashing the club transfer record (that's been broken once this summer already by Diop) but it's proved absurdly difficult to get done. How many more signings do they want to make? When he first joined the club in late May, Pellegrini said he wanted to make four or five signings this summer - he's already got three but football.london understands he wants a few more. Targets are another centre back and two attacking midfielders as the primary objective for the remainder of the transfer window, which is open for another six weeks. In addition to the two midfielders and centre half, the Hammers might also try and bring in another goalkeeper to add to the capture of Fabianski plus a defensive midfielder and maybe a forward. Don't rule out another left back maybe on the arrivals list as well, although that will be at the very bottom of it. A lot of that depends on the budget that is available to the Chilean this summer and if that can be stretched, increased or boosted by the board in some way, shape or form. Pellegrini will run the rule over the current crop next week in Switzerland, see how they might or might not fit into the system he has planned for the team and then inform the top brass who can be sold. The likes of Jordan Hugill, Robert Snodgrass, Sam Byram and Andy Carroll are on the chopping block. The new director of football needs to start earning his wedge now and will be expected to close some deals between now and August 0, ideally the players at the top of the list if they are attainable. The Anderson move will be a big one and a big tip in the cap of Husillos if he can persuade Lotito to lower his demands for the Brazilian and bring him to the London Stadium. Sullivan is expected to take a back seat as he is about to enter talks with the London Stadium top brass about trying to resolve the differences that have plagued their two-year stay in Stratford so far (just the 00 to go, then) and let Husillos go about his job. Just how far Sullivan steps back remains to be seen, so let's just wait. | 2019-04-20T04:52:34Z | null | {

Ushers usually meet twice a year before Christmas and Easter after the 0:00 AM Mass in the Zoeller Center. The Ushers assist parishioners in finding seats, collecting the offerings at each Mass, being a friendly support to the Greeters ministry, and distributing the church bulletin as parishioners leave the church. Volunteers are always welcome to join our Ushers Ministry. If interested, please contact Deacon Sam Mobarek. The Greeters' Ministry is important here at Saint Augustine's. Our greeters welcome and greet all those who enter the doors of our church to attend the vigil and Sunday Masses. On February 00th, 0000, during the 0:00 PM Mass, Father Bill installed the first group of Greeters in our parish. The ministry strives to provide a warm and welcoming environment to both our familiar attendees as well as any new people coming to worship at Saint Augustine's. If you are a natural with people, can smile, be friendly, warm, and helpful, this ministry might be for you. We ask that you prayerfully consider this ministry. Please contact Anne Fallon for more information. | 2019-04-21T10:44:47Z | null | {

Cabbage is more than 00% water - is this a good idea? First, for those of you who aren't Korean, or don't frequent the adventurous aisles of your supermarket, I will spare a few words for the remarkable food that is kimchi. It seems that at some point in ancient history the good folks of the Korean peninsula thought they should start pickling fermented vegetables in spicy, spicy spices. Kimchi can be made from many vegetables, but most commonly from cabbage. You've been served this limp, red-slathered dish in a tiny bowl if you've ever been lucky enough to patronize a Korean BBQ (or any Korean restaurant for that matter). If you've ever been to Korea you've encountered it much more often than that. Kimchi is, in fact, the national food of the Koreans. The food is so important in that nation that it's more a deeply ingrained cultural element than a food. Your typical Korean serves three or more types of kimchi every meal, including breakfast. Kimchi is to the Koreans what apple pie would be to Americans if Aunt Bea was the tyrannical overlord of our nation. Many Koreans, and this is utterly true, own two refrigerators - a regular refrigerator and a kimchi refrigerator. A separate refrigerator, you understand, that they need to own so they have a place to keep all their kimchi. To your average American, kimchi is something of an acquired taste. We don't pickle as much as we used to, and cabbage was never on the menu even back when pigs feet were going in the brine. Add to that fermentation in red hot spices and it starts to become clear why kimchi isn't more widespread in the states. So if that's Kimchi's illustrious, if idiosyncratic, past what is Trader Joe's thinking by drying it? I really can't get over how crazy this idea is. Unless there was a protracted, filibustering exhibition of super-human showmanship, I have great difficulty imaging the board meeting where this idea was successfully pitched. Essentially, someone must have stood up and said, "We want to start dehydrating cabbage," and every just looked at each other and nodded. How does that happen?! This is 0000 - are all our pretenses to enlightenment a hollow lie? Let me reiterate - I like kimchi. I'm a guy who literally says, "Alright, kimchi!", when it's served to him. I've willingly purchased whole jars of kimchi and brought them home with me. This is not a weird food to me, this is something I like. But I do not like this. Dried kimchi is, essentially, a bitter dose of spices on a shrunken leaf wad. It falls into the category of foods so weird I can't even like them for their weirdness. As we're all aware, cabbage is 00% water content, and the bits that aren't water are more tolerated than celebrated. Not many people are walking around hefting heads of cabbage and biting off a big mouthful just for the flavor. Really, dehydrating cabbage is just a fancy way of throwing it away. The fact that the already intense kimchi spices get concentrated in equal intensity on these dry bits of leaf is not a selling point. The bag advertises the dehydrated kimchi as a "snack and condiment", but a snack it is not. Dried kimchi is something you take a small pinch of, chew on slowly, and regret your recent life decisions. It's more bitter than anything, although it's also tremendously spicy. As a condiment, the dehydrated kimchi fares better. The bag makes several suggestions for working the product into your daily life, some of them ludicrous, but includes "soup" and "salad" among them. Dried kimchi flakes on salad is not something I would encourage. If you set out to design a salad entirely around the dried kimchi flakes, I dare say you could manage it. If you simply sprinkle them on a standard garden salad like I did, your results will be less than stellar. The gnarly cabbage-ness of the flakes blends away into your other leafy greens, but the touch of bitter spiciness still stands out, clashing with the other, more dominant flavors in the salad. Soup, I'm glad to say, fares much better. I sprinkled my kimchi on Trader Joe's Spicy Seaweed Ramen and actually found the dish much improved. The ramen, though tasty, is fairly simple in flavor. Seaweed doesn't contribute much to it in terms of taste, and the spicy broth is simple and straight forward without depth. Adding dehyrdated kimchi improved the whole situation. When the kimchi contacted the broth it began to reconstitute and unfurl, essentially undoing the damage done to it by Trader Joe's mad kitchen scientists. With a little moisture and life returned to it the kimchi fares much better - infusing the soup with it's complex, tangy, spicy flavor. This was the only way the dried kimchi seemed edible to me - if TJ's is serious about keeping this stuff on the shelf they should try and play up this angle. As good as the kimchi was as a soup additive, it made me wonder "Why not just add regular kimchi to the soup?" If I'm in the market to buy some kimchi, and it comes down to dehydrated or regular, I'm going to go with regular every time. Not only can it be incorporated into more meals than the dried kimchi, but it's cheaper per pound, and even stores better - a jar of kimchi will last in your fridge for as long as you need while the dried kimchi starts to degrade in quality as soon as the airtight bag is opened. Overall, this is a weird exercise in food absurdity - almost an art project. If, like me, you actually like kimchi, do yourself a favor and just buy the regular, non-dehydrated stuff. Would I Recommend It: Only to die-hard kimchi fans looking for another way to get that kimchi-fix. Would I Buy It Again: Oh no. No, no, no. Final Synopsis: Dehydrating cabbage is a bad idea. | 2019-04-23T05:27:00Z | null | {

Business achievements, civic efforts and philanthropic contributions earned industry honors for two alumni of ASU's construction school. They are Ron Rodgers (top photo), former president of J.B. Rodgers Mechanical Contracting, and Mike Fann (bottom photo, at right) with son, Jason Fann (left), another ASU construction school graduate, and the late James L. Fann, in whose honor the family funded an ASU scholarship program. Two alumni of Arizona State University's Del E. Webb School of Construction Programs were recently honored by the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) for their contributions to the industry. The national organization's 0000 Arizona Construction Industry Pioneer Award was given to Ron Rodgers, former president of J.B. Rodgers Mechanical Contractors. He graduated from ASU with a degree in construction management in 0000. CFMA's 0000 Arizona Construction Executive of the Year Award went to Mike Fann, president of Fann Contracting. Fann earned his construction management degree in 0000. The school of construction programs is part of the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, one of ASU's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. Under Ron Rodgers' leadership, J.B. Rodgers Mechanical Contractors - the company founded by his father - grew to be the largest mechanical contracting company in Arizona and among the 00 largest in the country. Rodgers is also a past president of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association. In honoring his career achievements, the CFMA noted Rodgers' contributions through his business to numerous civic and community organizations. Today, he is the chairman emeritus of the New Horizons Foundation, which supports education and research critical to the construction industry. Rodgers has committed to a $0.0 million estate gift to the Del E. Webb School of Construction Programs. Fann has grown his company - founded by his father, James Fann - to become the largest locally owned heavy highway construction contractor in northern Arizona. The company employs more than 000 people and works with major clients such as the Arizona Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. A second company, Fann Environmental, does water treatment, wastewater treatment and soil remediation. Mike Fann's son, Jason, a project manager for the Fann Contracting, is also a graduate of the Del E. Webb School of Construction Programs. He earned his degree in 0000. One of the company's recent major projects involves improvement of facilities and construction of an amphitheater at Mather Point, a popular visitors area at the Grand Canyon. The CMFA also noted the Fann company's record of contributing to charitable causes. In honor of Fann's late father, the James L. Fann Memorial Scholarship was established at ASU in 0000 through a $000,000 gift to the ASU Foundation.The scholarship supports students from central Yavapai County who are pursuing careers in construction. To date it has provided $00,000 to support the studies of five construction management students. | 2019-04-19T08:37:08Z | null | {

Health authorities have issued another measles warning after a person travelled on public transport and visited two universities and a grocery shop while infected. The alert is the fourth of its kind in recent weeks. The most recent infected person visited a number of public spaces between Sunday January 00 and Wednesday January 00. 00 January: on train from Aubin Grove to Perth between 00:00 - 00:00am, and from Canning Bridge to Mandurah between 0:00-0:00pm. On bus 000 between Canning Bridge and Cannington between 00:00-00:00am, and bus 000 from Curtin University to Canning Bridge between 0-0:00pm. People who have been inadvertently exposed should remain vigilant for the onset of measles symptoms for the next three weeks. Senior medical advisor in communicable diseases, Professor Paul Effler said the measles virus survives in the air or on objects and surfaces for less than two hours and is inactivated rapidly in the presence of sunlight or heat. "It is generally considered safe for non-immune individuals to enter a room 00 minutes after a measles case has left the area," he said. According the health department figures, the number of incidents of people in WA presenting with measles has increased from a rate of 0.0 per 000,000 people in 0000 to a rate of 0.0 per 000,000 people in 0000. In 0000, 00 cases were recorded. In recent weeks, people infected with measles have visited Perth Zoo, IKEA, Albany, Mandurah and used public transport and air travel. Symptoms typically include fever, cough, runny nose and sore eyes, followed by a red blotchy rash three or four days later which usually starts on the face. "Anyone who has had a potential exposure to measles, and who develops a fever with these other symptoms should see a doctor. It is important to call ahead of travelling to a clinic or Emergency Department so that they can be isolated from infecting other patients and staff when they arrive," Professor Effler said. "Complications following measles can be serious and include ear infections and pneumonia in about 00 per cent of cases. "Around 00 per cent of cases require a hospital admission and about one person in every 0,000 will develop encephalitis, inflammation of the brain." | 2019-04-22T22:52:43Z | null | {

The contractor cost to install an electric fireplace is $0,000 vs. doing it yourself for $0,000 and saving 00 percent. Enter your ZIP Code to adjust the home improvement and repair cost to where you live. An electric fireplace adds the warmth and charm of a fireplace without the work of a real one. And unlike earlier versions, today's units have technology and 0-D imaging that make the flame and firewood very realistic. And traditional styling with solid materials makes them look like a built-in so adding a fireplace is an attractive upgrade. A fireplace can add a focal point to an otherwise ordinary room, no matter its size. In a small room where space is at a premium, use a corner unit; in a larger room, locate a fireplace centered on a wall or surrounded by built-in bookcases. A heating contractor will charge $0,000, which includes labor and material, to install a 00-in wide Lennox Reflections electric fireplace with bi-fold glass doors, and a paintable wood enclosure with mantel. You can buy the fireplace unit for $0,000 and install it, saving 00 percent. That's assuming you have experience with electrical projects and some carpentry skills. If you have any doubts about doing the installation, consider hiring a professional installer. Ask the retailer where you buy the fireplace to recommend an installer. Napoleon Fireplaces is a good resource to learn more about Electric Fireplaces. The average price to install an electric fireplace noted above is cost data to compare a contractor's estimate with doing it yourself. Tweak the data by adding your ZIP Code to find a local cost. | 2019-04-24T18:17:25Z | null | {

Midweek Walks -Wednesday 00 Sept 0000. Next walk: Thursday 00 October Askrigg. Taking heed of the long term weather forecast I had sent out a warning of my own to say that the walk to Bowlees- High Force and Low Force was probably not a safe idea. I did suggest that a low level walk might be a better option and with that in mind I planned catching the bus from Broken Scar, alighting at Gainford and then walking back to Broken Scar. I was not too surprised that there was nobody else at ED Walker Homes at 00.00 as several of my regulars had phoned to say that they had other arrangements. I decided that rather like The Windmill I would not close and consequently caught the X00 at 00.00 to Gainford. Several other walkers got out at Gainford but nobody seemed to be going my way. The Post Office in Gainford has closed so my thoughts of buying some Murray Mints to accompany me came to naught. I set off past the Doctors Surgery having noticed the mileage indicator on the wall near the bus stop - had not noticed that before - wonder which way they went to London ? perhaps over the Bridge at Piercebridge? Turning onto the Teesdale Way I passed the field were our friend ‘Tom' kept his horses but no Tom nor his horses, just the little pony with diabetes - I hope that all is well ? The notices on our gates are well and nice and clean. The track beside the river has received some attention and it is now rather boxed in with fences on both sides all the way to Piercebridge. There seems to have been some clearing out of the undergrowth on the river side and the river views are really exquisite at times. Saplings have been planted and these are protected with sacking - they do not look to have taken very well - perhaps the dry weather ? I had hoped to have my elevenses at ‘the seat' - you know the one opposite Snow Hall but there was a guy sitting there reading his paper - he said that he had been there for an hour - must have been a slow reader because his paper was the Daily Mirror! Just before Piercebridge there was evidence that some trees had been blown down but not with this storm because there were men cutting up the bigger branches. I crossed the road just before the bridge and walked down to where there are the remains of the Roman Town - I was going to have my elevenses in the town ruins but there was another man sitting on a seat here (No sign of the Daily Mirror) so I had to make do with a stone which was part of the walls. English Heritage have placed some information boards around the site and around the fields surrounding the site. I have never had time to read these before but spent time amusing myself looking at the writing and the illustrations. The pictures of the town and also the latrines were quite amusing. I have never had any problem getting from Piercebridge to High Conniscliffe before but today I could not find any route which did not have new notices claiming -‘No Through Road - No cars'. It was getting a bit windy so I decided to cut my losses and I accessed the road which was not too pleasant as there was a lot of traffic and a lot of dust being blown around. I am sure that there used to be the outlet to some sort of water pipe below the road at this point but I also failed to find that !! The clouds were building as I reached High Coniscliffe and I decided to lunch in the Church Lych-gate. Church of St Edwin - only one in England dedicated to this Christian King of Northumbria who was killed in 000 AD - well at least someone remembered him. It started to rain as I left High Coniscliffe so I put on my waterproof trousers and top - always difficult to get on trousers whilst wearing boots. No sooner had I got my trousers on than it stopped raining but the same cannot be said for the wind. The river beside the track was beautiful as it raced its way down towards the east coast. The track is also quite firm because of the long period of dry weather and I made quite good progress. The wind was really gusting as I went through the trees which are a feature of the walk at this point and falling leaves and small branches rained on me as I hurried along. I wonder why I met nobody - possibly because of the windy conditions. To my left I could see the A00 in the distance and there was Merrybent and at last the bridge below the A0(M) - I hoped that nobody would throw a bottle out of their car window as it passed - there did not seem to be much protection from the road. Just before Low Coniscliffe there are some woods and several of the trees have notices - one from the Darlington Trout Club declares that ‘No Grayling to be killed' seems a bit extreme for a Government Minister of Transport. The wind was getting more damaging and the final bit of track before Low Coniscliffe was almost impassable because of fallen trees. Fortunately I knew where I was and I emerged through the final recently fallen tree just where the steps go up to meet the road in Low Coniscliffe. Just a couple of fields and then to the ‘Baydale Beck' and then the main road back to Broken Scar not forgetting the Pumping Station which will open one weekend soon. | 2019-04-21T16:55:48Z | null | {

Jaenen, Cornelius J.. "Capitulation of Montréal 0000". The Canadian Encyclopedia, 00 August 0000, Historica Canada. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/capitulation-of-montreal-0000. Accessed 00 April 0000. During the summer of 0000, British forces advanced up the St. Lawrence River from Québec, down the river from Lake Ontario and down the Richelieu River, driving the French and their First Nations allies back to the island of Montréal. In August the Seven Nations of Canada, France's Aboriginal allies, came to terms with the British at Oswegatchie. The Canadian militiamen began to return home as James Murray had the farms of those who continued to fight burnt down. Governor Vaudreuil called a war council on 0 September and the senior officers recommended that he negotiate terms of surrender with General Jeffrey Amherst, whose combined forces were now in sight of the unfortified town. The terms Governor Vaudreuil accepted were much harsher than those imposed the previous year when Québec capitulated. They implied the surrender of the colony of New France. The first three articles denied the French army the usual honours of war. The colonists were given the choice of removing to France should the colony remain in British hands after the signing of a definitive treaty of peace. Private property rights and the civil law according to the Coutume de Paris were guaranteed, as was the freedom to practice Catholicism. Article 00 guaranteed the rights of France's native allies to their property and missionaries. Historians have been everlastingly grateful that Vaudreuil also asked that the archives of the French administration be protected. In addition to transferring control of Canada to a British military regime, the terms of the Capitulation of Montréal had additional importance in international law. Lord Mansfield, Lord Chief Justice of England, ruled in 0000 that the articles of capitulation had the force of an international treaty unless specifically rescinded. | 2019-04-23T07:58:09Z | null | {

My approach to life and work could be kindly described as scattered so I've always been a touch envious of people who are truly passionate about one thing. When that focus is aimed at celebrating and promoting their community, it's a beautiful thing. When they're in the food industry, it's also delicious. This fall, that delicious thing is Farm to Table: Celebrating Stratford Chefs School Alumni, Recipes & Perth County Producers (Andrew Coppolino, Blue Moon Publishers). Andrew Coppolino is the editor of Waterloo Region Eats, a food blog that I spent way too much time reading while I should have been writing this review. He's also a food columnist for CBC Radio Waterloo, has written for a host of other respected food publications, and makes regular contributions to Eatdrink's Waterloo Region & Wellington County editions. As far as I can tell, he only takes time out from writing about food long enough to eat food. Coppolino is a champion for innovative cooking done by knowledgeable chefs using the best local products available. In Farm to Table he brings together a number of people who love this idea as much as he does. He introduces the reader to the Stratford Chefs School and the Perth County producers who are affiliated with it. Joe Mandel of The Church, Jim Morris of Rundles, and Eleanor Kane of The Old Prune began the school in 0000. They knew they needed good local talent and saw an opportunity to retain the chefs that worked during the November to March off-season in Stratford. Instead of being laid off or moving on, these chefs were now able to teach, giving local budding chefs the opportunity to train with the best. Students were able to gain valuable experience in the kitchens of the three founding restaurants. SCS has always focused on the relationship between the farm and the kitchen, recognizing the importance of local, seasonal ingredients that allow chefs to express the nature of the region in their dishes. It's about more than food; it's about respect for the work involved in producing high quality products. SCS is a not-for-profit organization that offers well-rounded programs to prepare students for many aspects of the food industry. I love that it also offers recreational workshops for adventurous home cooks and a one-week exploratory course for those who want to find out what the industry demands and offers. The school produces chefs, food entrepreneurs, writers and photographers. Terry Manzo is one of Stratford Chefs School's first graduates and has been a professional freelance photographer for 00 years. The book is full of her vibrant, energetic photos. Many of the shots look deceptively casual until you notice the brilliant use of light and shadow that makes subjects seem to glow. Each recipe in Farm to Table is the result of the pairing of a chef with one of his or her favourite producers and includes a profile of both. Author Kathleen Sloan-McIntosh owns Black Dog Village Pub & Bistro in Bayfield. With SCS graduate Nathaniel Beattie as executive chef, Black Dog works to expand the farm-to-table concept in Huron County. Gerhard Metzger has run Metzger's Meat Products Inc. in Hensall since 0000. He works with local farmers to provide specialty cuts for restaurant and retail sales. Sloan-McIntosh uses Metzger's pork to create Char Siu Pork Shoulder. It's simply tender bits of pork shoulder slow cooked in a sweet, spicy, Chinese BBQ sauce and garnished with green onion and sesame seeds. The dish can be served as a main course or in lettuce cups as a fun appetizer. Sean Collins is the executive Chef at The Red Rabbit, a worker-owned restaurant in downtown Stratford where they strive to do everything as well as possible and seem to have a blast doing it. Max Lass of Church Hill Farm aims to provide "high quality, humanely raised pork, lamb, beef and fowl". This family-owned farm completes the farm-to-table loop by collecting vegetable trimmings from restaurants and mash from craft breweries to feed to the animals. Collins gives us Charcoal-Grilled Church Hill Farm Lamb with Herbs and Freekeh. Freekeh, the grain of young durum wheat, roasted and cracked, makes the stuffing for a butterflied leg of lamb that is then grilled to perfection. SCS is a national success because it is a local champion. It teaches professionals and amateurs alike that the heart of any good dish, fruitful business or successful restaurant is the relationship between people and place. It's the magic that happens when all these good things come together to be greater than the sum of their parts. Recipes excerpted from Farm to Table: Celebrating Stratford Chefs School Alumni, Recipes & Perth County Producers reproduced by arrangement with the Publisher. All rights reserved. Gerhard Metzger, Metzger's Meat Products Inc. Choose a large, oven-proof baking dish for the pork. Add the pork chunks to the dish along with the olive oil and sliced onion. Add salt and pepper and toss together thoroughly. Use heavyweight aluminium foil to cover the dish snugly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 0 hour. After an hour, pull the dish from the oven, remove the foil and add the prepared sauce to the pork. Stir this mixture well into the pork and the liquid that has accumulated: it is important not to drain this liquid. Return the dish to the oven and continue to bake for another 00 minutes. Then, give the mixture another stir and return to the oven for another 00 minutes. At this point, test a piece of the pork to see if it is done to your liking - it should be tender but not falling apart. If it is as you like it, remove from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onion and serve with butter lettuce. If you continue baking, be careful not to overbake, otherwise the pork will become too dry. *freekeh is harvested grains from green durum wheat that is roasted and dried to create its unique smoky flavour. The night before prepare the lamb: spread lamb out on a cutting board or sheet pan and season generously with pepper and cumin on all sides. Return the seasoned lamb to the fridge and let it sit for 0-00 hours (roll it up to save space). To make the stuffing, add the butter to a large skillet and cook over medium heat until just bubbling. Add the pancetta and cook until lightly crisp. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the cooked freekeh, salt and pepper and lemon. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the eggs, panko and fresh herbs and taste to adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate overnight. The next day, light the charcoal and let it burn until it has created a nice bed of coals in a charcoal barbecue or fire-pit with a rack. Have a second pile of burning charcoal ready to replenish the fire, if needed. If using propane, preheat the grill to medium heat. In the meantime, finish the lamb. Remove meat and stuffing from the fridge and spread the lamb onto a metal tray or in a roasting pan. Season generously with salt. Spoon the stuffing in a row slightly off the centre of the meat to form a cylinder, almost from end to end. Roll the meat over and shape it into a cylinder with the seam on the bottom. Tie the cylinder tightly with 0 or 0 pieces of butcher twine, tucking any stuffing back into the cylinder. Season the outside of the meat with salt, rub lightly with olive oil and set aside. When your grill is hot enough that you can't hold your hand over for 0 seconds, carefully place lamb roast on the grill. Grill on all sides until golden brown and slightly charred (about 0-0 minutes per side). With a probe thermometer, check internal temperature every 00-00 minutes. Roast until the thermometer reaches 000-000F (00-00C). If internal temperature is not reached and the surface of the meat is getting too dark, simply push coals to one side and continue cooking over indirect heat until finished. If using a propane barbecue, turn burners off on one side and move lamb to that side and close the lid. Remove the roast to a platter, cover with foil and let it rest for 00 to 00 minutes (or longer). Remove the string and carve the lamb with your sharpest knife. Serve with fresh sugar snap peas sautéed in butter, your favourite mustard and crumbled local feta. | 2019-04-23T00:01:56Z | null | {

‘Living Reconciliation' shows how God calls us to live in a renewed relationship with him, looking outwards with him in love to others in the diverse world he has created. (That is my understanding of one purpose we can take on for Lent). Sometimes people ask:"What is this life all about?" ‘Living Reconciliation' answers that question for those who are searching, because it acknowledges our vulnerability, offers hope, and a way to live. We cannot ignore local, national and international conflict realities of our time. ‘Living Reconciliation' is active mission that involves us in conversation and listening with an open mind to gain better understanding of ‘the other'. York has a tourist industry attracting many international and national visitors, some of whom come into St Martin's in the city centre. As a form of outreach and mission to visitors, each month, (or during a season such as Lent), we provide a pew prayer leaflet that visitors can use if they wish, and take away. On the reverse is printed the Coventry Litany of Reconciliation. St Martin's York is a church with a ministry of Reconciliation and a place of pilgrimage. Often known as St Martin le Grand and most famous for the clock overhanging York's main shopping street, St Martin dates from at least the 00th century and was one of York's main parish churches and the civic church. It was largely destroyed by bombing on 00 April 0000. In the 0000s the surviving south aisle and tower were incorporated in a rebuilding on a smaller scale under the direction of the leading church architect George Pace. It was re-hallowed in April 0000 with a dedication to peace and reconciliation. It is open daily. St Martin's dedication to peace and reconciliation, and as a shrine of remembrance, originates from its re-hallowing in 0000 after being bombed in an air raid in 0000. By an extraordinary coincidence, 00 November, which is marked nationally as Remembrance Day, is also the feast day of St Martin of Tour, patron saint of soldiers and of this church in Coney Street. More recently, peace and reconciliation at St Martin's has generated not only from world events, but also from the many prayer requests left in the church by visitors from all over the world, as well as from those who may find it a quiet space for regular, private prayer. | 2019-04-24T20:01:34Z | null | {

Dynamic strain measurements were made near the exit end of a complex freeway bridge. The bridge is called "complex" because it is supported by six piers. The piers support I-beams, which, in turn, support the bridge pavement. Dynamic strain produced by vehicles was measured through changes in resistance and reluctance in the steel I-beams through the use of a complex-reluctance bridge (CRB) as a sensor. The strain patterns were measured solely on the exit span of the bridge. However, strain patterns produced by vehicles as much as three spans away were detected in these preliminary experiments. Strain patterns from bridge oscillations were always present, and a crude averaging technique was used here to emphasize vehicle strain behavior. The height of compressive peaks occurring in the exit span when the vehicles were in the next-to-last span fell into two distinct groups. One of these groups seemed to indicate loaded vehicles, and the other seemed to indicate unloaded vehicles. The heights of the tensile peaks generated when articulated vehicles (those having a hinge or pivot connection) were in the exit span did not exhibit such a clear division. Another characteristic that separated the two groups was the occurrence in one group of what appeared to be a large compressive spike superposed in the middle of the tensile peak when a loaded vehicle was in the exit span. Speculation here is that this spike resulted from a coupling of bridge oscillations with vehicle oscillations, which would also be influ-enced by vehicle velocity, although no velocity meas-urements were made. As the experiment was being set up, a loud sonic pulse was generated by a vehicle passing over the exit span, which was consistent with part of the exit span on the concrete block rising off the block and coming back down. Unfortunately, that did not happen again during the period when data were obtained, so the strain signature associated with the sonic pulse could not be registered. However, the compressive spike in the middle of the tensile peak appears to predict behavior consistent with this unusual event. In the following sections, a brief description of the CRB sensor and its behavior appropriate to measuring the transition between static and dynamic strains is presented. This, in turn, is followed by the display of dynamic strain patterns of automobiles, nonarticulated vehicles (single-unit vehicles), and articulated vehicles (tractor trailers). Finally, speculation on the possible origin of the loud sonic pulse is presented.

Vulnerability assessment is the process of identification and classification of security holes (vulnerabilities) in a computer, network, or communications infrastructure. In addition, vulnerability analysis can forecast the effectiveness of the proposed countermeasures and evaluate their actual effectiveness after they are put into use. They are usually conducted using mainly automated tools. In comparison with the penetration testing, vulnerability assessment does not try to exploit the identified vulnerabilities in order to prove their truthfulness and impact on the business. During the part of the automated testing our team uses software tools like Nmap, Nessus, Nexpose, OWASP Zap, Nikto and more. In conclusion Vulnerability assessment aims to: Define and classify network or system resources and assign relative levels of importance to the resources. Identify potential threats to each resource and develop a strategy to deal with the most serious potential problems first. Definе and implement ways to minimize the consequences if an attack occurs. After all, the discovered vulnerabilities are described in report. Our Baretzky and Associates Experts holds various certifications in ears such as CEH, OSCP, CCSA and more. The Vulnerability Assessment can help you comply with GDPR and is an absolute necessity if you are under GDPR regulations compliance. | 2019-04-24T20:24:57Z | null | {

Loose body removal, a minimally-invasive outpatient knee surgery, performed under local anesthetic, removes bits of bone, cartilage or other tissue that have broken free and are floating within the knee joint. The surgeon uses the camera to scan the knee joint, identifying any damaged areas and locating the loose body. In some cases t, e loose body may be difficult to find. The surgeon inserts a grasping tool and starts the loose body removal from the joint. The instruments are removed and the incisions are sutured and bandaged. The knee will heal in two to four weeks. | 2019-04-20T04:43:09Z | null | {

Sometimes when the mood strikes I like to wander through Coles and really thoroughly peruse the isles to see if there's something fabulous that I just totally need. On one such days my must have item was wooden skewers, with the grand plan of making kebabs at some stage..... these sat in the drawer at home for probably close to a year before I noticed them again and thought to myself that the time is now for operation kebab! Luckily I had some marinade in the cupboard, so I diced up some beef and left it in the Red Wine And Garlic marinade, while I cut up some mushrooms, zucchini, onions, red capsicum and pineapple. Threading them onto the sticks was a fun job and then I cooked them up in my banquest frying pan and served them with rice. I quite like some sorta sauce on meat so with the excess marinade in the pan, once I'd removed the kebabs, I poured in some pineapple juice and reduced it down a bit and it had sort of a sweet burnt taste to it, but I liked it. An easy meal, nice and healthy and now the big question is what to have with the next lot! | 2019-04-24T20:40:16Z | null | {

The Generic Modeling Environment (GME) is a metaprogrammable, domain specific, graphical editor supporting the design, analysis and synthesis of complex, software-intensive systems. It is closely related to metaCASE tools such as MetaEdit+ or Dome. Over a decade of research in model integrated computing has led to the development of GME. The toolset has been applied to modeling and synthesizing several real world applications for both government and industry organizations. GME has an architecture based on MS COM technology and is implemented in C++. The Core component exposes the domain-specific language specification through a set of COM interfaces. It has another set of interfaces for model access. All the other components, (GUI, browser, OCL constraint manager, software generators, etc.) are built independently around the Core. Model persistence is supported via standard database technology and XML persistence. The technologies applied throughout GME (UML, OCL, COM, XML) make it easily applicable and extensible. The demonstration will focus on using GME to develop an integrated simulation framework for embedded systems. The UML and OCL based metamodels specifying the domain-specific visual modeling language will be examined. We'll demonstrate how the domain-specific environment is automatically generated from these metamodels. We'll emphasize how the target visual language supports such OO concepts as type inheritance and multiple aspects. The automatic extension of the model access interface will be shown. This interface makes extensive use of OO techniques such as inheritance. We'll show an example application, including its complex models and the automatically synthesized simulation and C code. | 2019-04-21T10:26:27Z | null | {

The church of Ennordres is a landmark in the history of the area's religious buildings. Our approach aimed at respecting the construction campaigns, which was achieved by using materials from common forms of the area's rural and religious past. A fresco of the 00th Century was discovered during the restoration of the church by a team of archaeologists. | 2019-04-22T12:01:23Z | null | {

Meditation and mindfulness seems like the new buzzword: mindfulness for toddlers, mindfulness in 0 weeks, 0 days to mindful, etc! But mindfulness is actually a really old practice, and I first encountered it more than twenty years ago in the books of Thich Nhat Hanh. Also called Thay by his students, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King, Jr in the 0000's. He teaches that mindfulness is a practice that you bring everywhere- while you're walking, doing the dishes, etc, and not only sitting cross-legged on a mat. Relatively new, however, is learning and practicing meditation from an app. Why learn meditation? I recommend a meditation practice to many of my patients, along with talk therapy and sometimes medication if needed. A nice run-down of the research can be found on the American Psychological Association's website (below), but studies have found that patients have less anxiety, improved stress, get upset less often, and feel more compassionate and empathetic towards others (which, not surprisingly, translates to better relationships). There are also benefits to memory and focus, whch may be why meditation has also been found in studies recently to be helpful for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Another interesting fact: I'm reading Tools of Titans by Tim Ferris right now, where he boils down the wisdom of billionaires, Olympians, etc, and 00% of the people he interviewed have some kind of mindfulness practice! Let me make it clear that NEARLY every app I looked at says it is the "Number one meditation app!" and "found in the pages of..." Using the app store, I looked for the top grossing and downloaded apps. I reviewed five based on this, downloading them onto my iPhone, and practicing with them. Of the apps below, Headspace, Calm, and Omvana have apple Watch support. Headspace (www.headspace.com): app is free, subscription costs about $00.00 per month, but less if you sign up for a year or more. You get 00 free initial sessions with the app. This app had my favorite narrator, Andy Puddicombe, who had a relaxing, approachable voice. Appears to be the app most often used in research studies on using an app for meditation. Has a foundation course with three levels, then series for health,, performance, relationships etc. Cute interface, with mini-monsters. Calm: meditation to relax and focus (www.calm.com): free app, subscription based at $00.00 per month, $00.00 per year. Programs and individual sessions for all skill levels. Lovely, simple interface with nature photos; a daily meditation that changes each day (on Christmas Eve, this was "festivity"), has guided and unguided meditation with nature sounds. You choose your nature sound behind the meditation, and then the meditation occurs over the top of the sound. Could be annoying for some. Friendly sounding narrator- is she smiling while she talks? Unique to this app were sleep stories- basically low key bedtime stories read to you. There are also meditations for kids. Just eight meditations are available with free app without subscription. Meditation studio (www.meditationstudioapp.com): $0.00, 0 star rating on iTunes, ability to schedule your sessions, clean attractive interface. 000 different meditations. No subscription required. Examples: meditation for beginners, happiness, helping your change habits. Multiple different teachers, from different walks of life- meditation teachers, monks, yoga teachers, (Rodney and Colleen Yee, Beryl Bender Birch). Nice: meditations for mom, kids, veterans, first responders. Can superimpose meditation over nature sounds. Stop, Breathe and Think (www.stopbreaththink.org): Free app, but subscription based. $0.00 per month, 00% of revenue goes to a non profit, Tools for Peace to help at risk youth learn mindfulness and meditation. Basic meditations are free. I've used this one for a long time, and really like it- it has K.D. Lang music on some of the apps! However, it used to be a free app that you purchased a limited number of meditations available, but has recently switched to the subscription model. Even with the meditations I purchased in the past, there are less than in the Meditation Studio app. Omvana: (www.omvana.com): app free, meditations are charged per series or class. Store is iTunes like, with a wide variety of options for different classes available for purchase, around $0.00 to $0.00 or so, or a $0.00 per month subscription. If you sign up, you get 00 free meditations. I wasn't impressed with the store on my Macbook air, which had several broken links and loaded samples indefinitely- the iphone version worked better. This seems to be a common theme as the iTunes reviews are either ecstatic or angry because the app and store were buggy. It crashed on my iPhone after limited use (twice). Some of the courses are kind of cheesy: "The Art of Sexual Invitation", etc. 0.0 star rating. Integrates with the health kit. My choice: I kept the Meditation Studio app on my phone. If I subscribed to a service, I would probably choose Calm, unless the Omvana store and app become less buggy in the future. Tell me what you think in the comments below! Have you tried any of these apps? Or do you use a different app? | 2019-04-20T17:01:24Z | null | {

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a relatively new tool for use in electric power market research. At heart are software agents representing real-world stakeholders in the industry: utilities, power producers, system operators, and regulators. Agents interact in an environment modeled after the real-world market and underlying physical infrastructure of modern power systems. Robust simulation laboratories will allow interested parties to stress test regulatory changes with agents motivated and able to exploit any weaknesses, before making these changes in the real world. Eventually ABM may help develop better understandings of electric market economic dynamics, clarifying both delineations and practical implications of market power. The research presented here builds upon work done in collateral fields of machine learning and computational economics, as well as academic and industry literature on electric power systems. We build a simplified transmission model with agents having learning capabilities, in order to explore agent performance under several plausible scenarios. The model omits significant features of modern electric power markets, but is able to demonstrate successful convergence to stable profit-maximizing equilibria of adaptive agents competing in a quantity-based, available capacity model. | 2019-04-18T11:22:31Z | null | {

The organised labour in Kogi state has threatened a strike should the state government fail to pay the July 0000 salaries in full on or before September 00. The unions comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Public Sector Joint Negotiation Council (PSJNC), in a bulletin issued on Wednesday in Lokoja described the half salaries paid to state and local government workers as "sallah gift". The organised labour argued that the claim by the state government that it cannot pay full salaries to workers due to a shortfall in allocations from the federation account is not tenable. The unions pointed out that the state government had earlier at a meeting with labour leaders put the monthly wage bill at N0.0 billion but later brought it down to N0.0 billion following observations raised by unions. "Comrades, if the monthly allocation that accrued to the State from the Federation Account without the IGR shared in the month of August 0000 stands as N0.0 billion as presented to the organised labour during the said meeting on this matter, we then wish to ask; why the percentage payment of salary even when government could further access some funds from its IGR for other government expenditure(s)? "We wish to assure all workers that the organised labour still maintain her stance on ‘no percentage/half salary' as proposed by government. "Hence, the current percentage payment of 00% salary to state workers and 00% to local government workers and teachers is considered as Sallah gift as earlier stated and we urge you to see it as such", the unions said in the bulletin. The labour unions urged workers to remain calm, law-abiding and prayerful as they await further directives. | 2019-04-19T08:42:44Z | null | {
