This page describes the T0Dv0 Gold Standard for evaluating matching systems on the task of matching Web tables to the DBpedia knowledge base. T0Dv0 is the second version of the T0D entity-level gold standard. A principle difference to the first version of the gold standard is that T0Dv0 does not only contain positive but also negative examples. Many HTML tables on the Web are used for layout purposes, but a small fraction of all tables contains structured data [Cafarella0000][Crestan0000]. As this data has a wide coverage, it could potentially be very valuable for filling missing values and extending cross-domain knowledge bases such as DBpedia, YAGO or the Google Knowledge Graph. As a prerequisite for being able to use table data for knowledge base extension, the Web tables need to be matched to the knowledge base in question, meaning that correspondences between the rows of the tables and the entities described in the knowledge base as well as between the columns of the tables and the schema of the knowledge base need to be found. Different systems have been developed to solve this matching task [Venetis0000][Limaye 0000][Ellis0000][Zhang0000]. Up till now, it was difficult to compare the performance of these systems as they were evaluated using (partly) non-public Web tables data as well as different knowledge bases. The T0D Gold Standard tries to fill this gap by providing a large set of human-generated correspondences between a public Web table corpus and the DBpedia knowledge base. The T0Dv0 Gold Standard has been used to generated to results described in [Ritze0000]. The T0Dv0 gold standard consists of manually annotated row-to-instance, attribute-to-property and table-to-class correspondences between 000 Web tables and the DBpedia Knowledgebase Version 0000. The tables originate from the English-language subset of the Web Data Commons Web Tables Corpus. Out of the 000 tables in the gold standard, 000 tables share at least one instance with DBpedia. The tables cover different topics including places, works, and people. Altogether, the gold standard contains 000 class, 00,000 instance and 000 property correspondences. The main difference to the previous version of this gold standard is that tables are also included that are non-relational or do not have any overlap with DBpedia (negative examples). Since most tables found in the Web are actually non-relational, Web table matching systems first need to filter out all non-relational tables. Second, only a certain amount of tables actually overlaps with a knowledge base like DBpedia. Thus, the matching systems need to be able to distinguish between overlapping and non-overlapping tables. Besides adding the tables, the existing correspondences have manually been checked and updated. All versions of the T0D gold standard are provided under the terms of the Apache license for public download below. The table below provides basic statistics about the size of the tables that are contained in the gold standard. The number of rows varies between 0 and 0000 while the number of columns is between 0 and 00. For small and narrow tables, it is difficult to decide whether they contain relational data that can be matched to DBpedia since often only little evidence is available. If large and broad tables are incorrectly mapped, it has a large influence on the resulting performance of the matching system. In order to cover the challenges that a Web table matching system needs to face, the gold standard contains three types of tables: non-relational tables (layout, matrix, entity, other), relational tables that do not share any instance with DBpedia and relational tables for which least one instance correspondence can be found. In contrast to other gold standards, e.g. [Limaye 000], for matching the tables of the T0Dv0 gold standard, a matching system must be able to distinugish between these types of tables and filter out the ones that cannot be mapped to the DBpedia knowlege base. An overview of the different table types and how they are classified is given on our extraction page. In total, 000 tables are contained in the gold standard. Figure 0 shows the distribution of table types. About 00% of the tables are relational tables, the second most common type are entity tables. In our studies and experiments we focus on relational tables since they are potentially mostly useful for knowledge base completion. Fig. 0 - Distribution of the table types. Of all 000 relational tables, half of them (000) share at least one instance correspondences with DBpedia. Due to the overlap, these tables can be mapped to DBpedia. All non-overlapping tables cover topics that are not represented in DBpedia, one example are tables about products. The T0Dv0 gold standard covers three different types of correspondences: row-to-instance, attribute-to-property and table-to-class correspondences. Altogether, 00 000 row-to-instance, 000 attribute-to-property and 000 table-to-class correspondences are contained. For details about how the tables including the correspondences have been chosen, see the page of the previous version. For the 000 relational overlapping tables, a table-to-class correspondence is available. We grouped these classes based on their super classes (called categories) and show the distribution of tables being mapped to each category in Figure 0. Altogether, the tables are mapped to 00 different DBpedia classes. In total, 000 correspondences between attributes and properties can be found in the tables. Of them, 000 refer to an entity label attribute and are assigned to the property rdfs:label. The remaining correspondences point to DBpedia properties which are contained in the DBpedia ontology namespace. Figure 0 shows the top 00 DBpedia properties (without rdfs:label) which have been assigned to the attributes. Besides properties referring to objects or strings, we can also find properties with dates and numeric values, e.g. releaseDate or populationTotal. Including properties with different data types shows the strengths and weaknesses of the similarity functions employed by the matching systems/algorithms. The table below provides the average number of attribute-property correspondences per category. The number of attributes that can be mapped for a category can vary. While tables of the category "Populated Place" can on average be mapped to 0 properties, tables of the category "Person" can on average only be mapped to 0.0 properties. Besides other characteristics, these differences significantly influence the difficulty of matching a certain table. Having a lot of attribute-to-property correspondences can help to better find row-to-entity or table-to-class correspondences since more property values are exploitable. T0Dv0 covers 00,000 row-to-instance correspondences coming from different topics. The table below provides the average number of row-instance correspondences per category. While tables of the category "Species" can be mapped to a lot of instances, tables about "Architectural Structure" have a tendency to contain less correspondences. Similar to the number of property mappings per table, the amount of rows that can be matched has an influence on the matching difficulty: the more correspondences to instances exist, the easier it becomes to find attribute-property as well as table-class correspondences. The Web tables are provided in the JSON format that is also used for the WDC Web Table Corpus 0000. Besides the table itself, also metadata like the sourrounding text and timestamps is included. All tables are uniquely identified by their name, which is the name of the table file without extension. Correspondences are provided as CSV files. Fields are separated by the comma (' , ') character and all values are double quoted (' " '). There are three different file types for the gold standard: the class correspondence file, the attribute correspondence files, and the entity correspondence files. We would like to thank Oktie Hassanzadeh, Mariano Rodriguez, Kavitha Srinivas and Michael J. Ward for their feedback on our gold standard. Please send questions and feedback to directly to the authors (listed above) or post them in the Web Data Commons Google Group. [Cafarella0000] Michael J.

"What I love about Frasier..." Ed Schrader explains as I attempt a well-timed interjection, "is you have different voices playing out these plots." He rapidly continues: "The dad's a rugged salt of the earth guy, Frasier's the posh egomaniac and then Niles is more Beta." Schrader's now at one hundred mph. "I feel like they are all playing out different aspects of an argument that I am having in my head," he finishes with a ta-dah. The result is a remarkable album by three friends determined to break new ground. With Deacon on board for his first project in this role they've created a rich textural landscape far beyond their previous work full of beautifully dense pop songs that are still enjoyably off-centre. "That's true," Rice says, "this process really brought out abilities which we haven't been able to tap into before. You see Ed at karaoke and he's normally burning the house down..." He laughs as Schrader croons away in the background. "Don't go breaking my heart," he gladly sings before explaining, "I look forward to the studio as most people would look forward to the dentist but Dan made it feel like home - we were literally in his home. "Dan was Richard Dreyfuss," laughs Rice. A tight unit who stayed up all night recording after watching Bar Wars on cable TV (another lengthy digression), the newfound patience paid off. "There were songs that sounded like b-sides for ‘Party Jail' and Dan said let's take a step back," recalls Schrader. "He said, ‘hey I really enjoy these demos but I think you need to say something new.' Meanwhile, as John Lennon said, life is what happens when you're busy making plans and there were all these tumultuous life issues that were happening. Dan was having relationship problems and both Devlin and I dealt with death in the family. My stepdad died and that's who a few of the songs on the album are about. When those types of things happen you are sucked into reality. A lot of my early art I would put on different hats and I feel I was running forward and when he died it forced me to stop and be present." For a moment there is silence. "When he died I was in Puerto Rico standing on top of a mountain," he continues. "He was someone I had a mixed relationship with so I didn't know what to feel at first; I thought I will just go about my day and get through it. We got into the car and started driving and this Phil Collins song came on from the '00s and he was a big fan of Phil Collins - as soon as I heard it I lost it. It was called ‘Do You Remember', it really pulls the heartstrings. "It's all in the song ‘Culebra'," says Rice. "Just take a listen." Which I do. The closing track of the album, it's a haunting tale full of Schrader's typically cryptic lyrics but there's something more direct about this new shape that takes the breath away. Somehow the topic turns to coffee again. Rice puts on another pot as Schrader tells me about their favourite vice. "It blew Dan's mind because he only just started drinking coffee towards the beginning of recording," he says. "He was like, ‘Jesus guys you drink so much of this stuff.'" It makes sense when you know that Rice has a job roasting specialty coffee. The band are even running with their own blend (Ed Schrader's Music Bean's) to coincide with the album release.

I heard a rustle I hadn't before. There was something alive around me. A second step and I realised there was something soft and squishy beneath me. A soft shriek emerged from my mouth. My hand flew to my face, covering my eyes and face. I took my phone out of my pocket to flash light the floor beneath. "It's okay. All is well," I murmured repeatedly. Turns out all wasn't well. I'd stepped on to a pile of leaves soggy from the evening damp but the rustling I'd heard was the bats waking up. The house, or whatever it had once been, now had a bat infestation! Lightning struck again. I didn't need the flashlight to see the bats this time. Thunder followed slower this time though. "All is well," I repeated. I pulled the sleeve cuffs of my sweater up to my palms and covered my ears with them. It muffled the sound and the cold out. I squatted outside on the porch, back stuck to the brick wall. I tried recalling why exactly I'd stomped out of the room. It was my honeymoon. And I couldn't get myself to even begin to adore him. We constantly fought. Our match was arranged by our parents. I'd known him for six months and been married eight days. We'd fought enough already that I was fed up of being in the same room as him. Just thinking about him stressed me out! My stress came rushing out in the form of tears. I bawled. Once I'd cried enough to tire myself out, I checked my phone. It had network bars now but I no longer cared. The winds had calmed down and I'd made up my mind. Trees swayed lesser; I heard a car honk in the distance. Maybe I'd find a road that'd take me away from the resort. Vigor induced in me, I rushed up from the ground and flashlight on I walked towards the direction I thought I'd heard the honk from. Come jaguar or snake, I didn't care now. I couldn't fight them maybe but I needn't sit crouched in fear either. I saw a road, a dust covered grey strip of tar, to be precise. It needed washing. I almost ran to it and found myself looking at what I was running away from. The resort loomed large and at the gates was my husband getting into an open Jeep, possibly to hunt me down. Again. Gritting my teeth, I snorted and stepped back into the bushes, taking cover behind a tree. I wouldn't let him see me. I couldn't.

HITN-TV, the television network that offers educational and entertaining content to Hispanic audiences in the United States, is announcing today a content agreement with NatGeo and Fox Networks Group to acquire new programming. These latest acquisitions will start to air the week of September 0th. The new programing will include a series by the popular dog whisperer, Cesar Millan. In Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack, the popular dog trainer searches for the perfect candidates to adopt rescued dogs. In Cesar to the Rescue sends Millan to neighborhoods terrorized by badly misbehaving dogs, using his unmatched expertise to bring balance to dogs and humans alike. "These new programs are important additions to HITN-TV's programming," said Eric Turpin, HITN-TV's General Manager. "They include factual productions, featuring a number of new titles that are part of our ongoing programming strategy to provide exciting and fresh new content that continues to grow our audience in 0000." Also premiering on HITN-TV in September is Dr. Vet, L.A., which features three of LA's best-known Hispanic veterinary physicians, solving complicated cases and offering tips for animal safety and human-pet relations. "As one of HITN-TV's strongest content line-up for this fall TV season, we are planning to push these new shows hard; I believe the new programming for September has the potential to be a big hit among our audience," said Florentina Almonte, Programming Director of HITN-TV. The fall lineup will also includes two new programs: Aquiles in Houston, the adventures of Chef Aquiles Chaves and his family as they move to the U.S. to open a Mexican restaurant; and Nuestra Mirada (Our Look), a four-part special profiling Hispanic immigrants struggling to succeed in the United States, narrated by journalist and producer, Rolando Nichols. HITN-TV provides educational programming in Spanish in the United States, reaching more than 00 million households in key Hispanic markets across the country. HITN-TV is distributed in the US and Puerto Rico on DIRECTV, DISH Network, AT&T U-verse TV, Verizon FiOS TV, Comcast, Charter, Cablevision and Mediacom, and in other markets on Time Warner Cable.

As the title suggests this is a book about prayer. The author sets about to "show that prayer is far more than what we usually assume," and he succeeds marvellously. Published by Path Books and available from the Anglican Book Centre, the book is made up of 00 short (0 to 0 pages) chapters, each of which is a personal reflection by Herbert O'Driscoll on the role of prayer in everyday life. As we read this book we appreciate that everything exists within God. When we grasp this reality, prayer ceases to be something formal and institutional, and becomes something everyday and wondrously ordinary. There is no part of life that cannot be offered to God. Herbert O'Driscoll's gentle and illuminating insights, and personal memories and reflections, together with suggestions by Patricia Bays for personal exploration, make this a special book for reading, reflection, or group study any time. His reflections demonstrate a simplicity and honesty about himself and about his relationship with God that is refreshing and very helpful for today's Christian living in our hurried world.... I highly recommend this book for all to read.

Teams of programmers and engineers at Google have created a custom Android app, different versions of which have been named "Maotai" and "Longfei." The app has already been demonstrated to the Chinese government; the finalized version could be launched in the next six to nine months, pending approval from Chinese officials." Google has a long history of transferring technology to their Chinese authoritarian partners. The Intercept account continues. The obvious dreaded concern is that some deleterious version of Dragonfly will be imposed upon domestic users of Google and Android. So it is significant when VP Mike Pence slams Google over Chinese search engine project and reflects similar concerns with the internal conflict going on within Google. "While Google CEO Sundar Pichai has reportedly said Dragonfly is still in its early stages, it has caused internal problems for the company. The Intercept reports that at least five employees have quit in protest, and 0000 workers have signed a letter demanding more information. As if blocking social media sites, western news sources, and certain search terms weren't bad enough, it's been reported that a Dragonfly prototype linked users' searches to their personal phone numbers, which would allow China's government to monitor its citizens' queries. It's also claimed that officials could use the search engine to provide false data on the country's air pollution problem, something it's been known to do in the past." Additional pressure from House lawmakers want answers from Google on censored Chinese search engine adds to the apprehension. "Since news broke last month that Google is working on a censored search engine for the Chinese market, the company has faced unrelenting criticism from lawmakers. In the latest demand, a bipartisan group of 00 House representatives is looking for answers on the still-secretive plan. "As policymakers, we have a responsibility to ensure that American companies are not perpetuating human rights abuses abroad, and to ensure that our regulatory and statutory systems are able to deal with changing business environments," the letter reads. The lawmakers are requesting more details on the company's plans. Among the questions for the company: what restrictions will it place on the search engine? And if Google left China in 0000, why has it decided to move back now?" While this inquiry is useful, a much more important trepidation needs to be confronted. The anti-American sentiments that Google has demonstrated is displayed openly for all to see. Many obsessed cyber addicts are consumed with the programming that comes from the Google version of reality. The sad saga which transformed a useful search engine into an indoctrination gatekeeper of censorship that conforms to a 'politically correct' distortion of veracity is appalling. Google has become an integral integration of the globalist model of mind control. No prudent or objective person can trust the selective search results or content that streams from using their resistive web sites. Dragonfly or whatever their next project that herds the public into solitary confinement is meant to eliminate any dissenting viewpoint that conflicts with the totalitarian elites that have always been behind shaping the Chinese dominion. "acknowledged the Chinese ability to harness the web's power for its economic progress, but he also worries that with great Internet power comes great censorship. "I think you're going to see fantastic leadership in products and services from China. There's a real danger that along with those products and services comes a different leadership regime from government, with censorship, controls, etc.," said Schmidt." Not exactly a ringing commendation of the Chinese regime. No surprise coming from the arch scoundrel who built the Google domain. Absent from most scrutiny on cyber tech are discussions about the abdication of moral standards by despotic governments. The creation of the Dragonfly filters reflects an unholy alliance between a "so called" commercial company and a communist oppressor. Red China is already at war with the United States. However, the apparatchik Maoists is waging economic sabotage on American business and steals our technology with impunity. Why allow Google to supply the coding to advance this betrayal? Prohibiting the transfer of technology originated from NSA research, funded by DARPA and advanced by the intelligence community is a national imperative. Those who regard Google as merely a stock opportunity are blind to the underlying function and purpose of the systems that employ their real objectives. Dragonfly is the latest warning to strip Google of its hideous intentions to rewrite current events and erase past history. By omitting and purging challenging accounts, the goal of maintaining the approved narrative becomes even more obvious. Prepare for the exodus of Google to their People's Republic of China Shangri-la. Many of their U.S. university computer trained graduates will eagerly follow. Without stern measures that prohibit this revolving door, America will continue to encourage its own demise by educating Chinese nationals. Still have doubts? Just examine the treachery, Dianne Feinstein's Longtime Driver Was a Chinese Spy. Look at Google as a spy campus in training that steals high tech secrets for the benefit of Chinese oligarchs. Dragonfly may be the latest example of systemic tyranny but it surely will not be the last.

The Nigeria Taekwondo Federation (NTF) has named a 00-man team for next month's Commonwealth Taekwondo Championships holding in Edinburgh, Scotland. In the list made available to SportingLife, 0000 Beijing Olympics medalist, Chika Chukwumerije and his sibling, Uche, will lead the team to the two-day tournament coming up on November 00 and 00 at the Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh. Also on the team are 0000 All Africa Games medalists - Jamilu Mohammed, Sunday Onofe and Joy Ekhator. According to the President of NTF, George Ashiru, the list of the athletes has been confirmed by the organizers of the championship, while the team would continue to prepare ahead of the tournament. Over 000 taekwondists from the 00 Commonwealth federations are expected at the Championships that will feature Kyorugi (fighting), Poomsae (a defined set of movements incorporating blocking, kicking and striking techniques) and, for the first time, Para-taekwondo. The biennial competition is expecting large national teams from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, India and Malaysia, as well as the host nations. Taekwondo Scotland chairman, William Darlington said: "I've been looking forward to this for over 00 years since my colleagues and I started lobbying vigorously for taekwondo to become a fully-fledged Commonwealth Games sport. Recently we achieved the breakthrough by becoming a Category 0 Commonwealth Games sport and we may feature in future Commonwealth Games, but unfortunately that decision came too late for Glasgow 0000. But we're delighted to invite top players to come to Scotland in the Commonwealth Games year. The Commonwealth Taekwondo Championships are held every two years, in every year the Commonwealth and Olympic Games are held. They are sanctioned by the Commonwealth Taekwondo Union, the Commonwealth Games Federation and the World Taekwondo Federation and involve world class competitors, making them a major event in Taekwondo. Organisers hope the event will strengthen taekwondo's bid to be included on the programme of sports for the 0000 Commonwealth Games, to be held in either Durban in South Africa, or Edmonton in Canada.

Thank you for taking time to peruse my work. On this page you will find some of the illustrations and paintings I have created over the last few years. I primarily work with the human form and the ‘realistic' (rather than abstract) representation of flora, fauna, and environments. I prefer ink and watercolor on paper to any other medium but have dabbled in oil painting, linocuts, and digital art.

"Laura made our house-search a genuine pleasure...and a success. Her tireless ethic and energy helped us narrow down a dizzying number of options down to the 'one' we now call home. My wife and I would wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone selling or searching."

A Samsung ad revealed on Saturday pits Apple's new iPhone 0 directly against the Galaxy S III, listing the two handsets' features side-by-side in what appears to be a highly subjective comparison. Titled "It doesn't take a genius," Samsung's new print ad obviously references Apple's widely-panned TV spots and customer support representatives, called "Geniuses." Ironically, Samsung's ad also serves to point out that the company does not offer the same level of hands-on customer care. The main thrust of the advertisement is to illustrate the huge amount of features the Galaxy S III has over the iPhone 0, with the extremely long list of trademarked smartphone functions doubling those found on Apple's new device. Going further, most of the tech specs Samsung chose to attribute to the iPhone are trumped by its own unit. Things get a bit tongue-in-cheek when Apple's new Lightning connector is mentioned, of course as a negative, with Samsung describing the part as "A totally different plug" versus the S III's "Standard micro USB plug. While not unexpected, the ad fails to mention the numerous enhancements coming with iOS 0, Apple's mobile operating system that some say gives the company an edge over other smartphone makers because it can tailor the software and hardware in-house. The fact that Samsung's handset uses a year-old version of Android was not mentioned. Samsung's ad is scheduled to go to press on Sunday, though it is not clear what publications in which it will be running.

Hedden said Friday he did not want to elaborate on the weapon or any possible motives to protect the ongoing investigation. However, on Friday, Tietjen said he could neither confirm nor deny any possible motives in the attack. Investigators also said it was still too early to comment on possible motives, though they have said they do not believe there are any gang connections in the case. Tietjen also explained Friday the reason parents and police were not informed that students would be leaving campus during the fire drill . "Parents had already been notified about the P.E. exercises in the park; that's why there was not any additional notification," the superintendent said. At least one teacher at the school said the drill should have been postponed because there was not enough supervision at the school Thursday to move the entire student body off campus. The teacher spoke on condition of anonymity, not having authorization to speak to the press and fearing retaliation on the job. Tietjen said all four of the school's security guards were on campus Thursday, noting that teachers and security guards helped police locate the suspect and ensured that he was taken into custody. Staff writer Rob Parsons can be reached at (000) 000-0000 or [email protected].

Our early regulars will remember Kate, Oli's poor mum being bossed around by her son, telling her "faster, faster" in the first few years when she wasn't working in her normal job as a Yoga teacher. Now she can be seen sipping Chai while babysitting her grandson Leo (there's a picture of him drinking a babyccino on the walls in the café). The day-to-day running is done by Oli but with the help of his partner Lotta (who besides doing creatives and admin work will occasionally help out on the shop floor). After a few years, we considered opening a second Moksha and explored a few options. And in 0000, we almost went ahead with a second café, but instead decided to focus on food. We rebuilt the kitchen and turned Moksha into a fully functioning restaurant. Our cooked breakfast menu was introduced! Animal welfare has always been something we find important. We have only ever used free-range eggs since we opened. But our own ethical values have made us take it even further. After replacing much of the meat for free-range we took the decision in early 0000 to only serve Organic milk in our coffees. We are proud to say that all our meat is free-range and supplied by a local butcher. Did you know that Moksha mean release and liberation? We thought is was a fitting name for a café, hoping to provide you with just that and good food.

A good patent lawyer will be able to help you determine whether your invention can be protected by registration with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). As part of the process, you'll learn the type of patent you'll want to get to for your intellectual property. If the USPTO ultimately determines your invention a "new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof," then the federal government will grant you the exclusive right to make, use or sell your intellectual property for 00 to 00 years, depending upon the type of patent. If others want to legally use your invention during that time, they have to pay you for the privilege (license) of doing so. What About A U.S. Provisional Patent? Like a unicorn, that really doesn't exist. However, there are some circumstances justifying the need to file a provisional patent application (PPA) for your invention with the USPTO first, especially as the U.S. has now adopted a "First to File" (and no longer a "First to Invent") patent system, in order to establish priority. Note that if one files a PPA, it must be "converted" to a regular, non-provisional application within 00 months of filing the PPA, else the PPA is automatically deemed abandoned, i.e. you'll lose the benefits of filing the provisional app and be statutorily barred from filing the non-provisional application thereafter. Although a provisional patent does not exist (just a PPA), there are 0 types of patents the USPTO can issue depending upon what you've invented. Your Registered Patent Attorney will be able to identify the kind of patent you should seek and prepare the application for the USPTO to examine. This may be the most critical part of a patent: the patent application! It's the properly drafted application that can maximize your property and legal rights. Most patents are utility patents. In rare circumstances, a proposed invention may qualify for more than one type of patent, and/or qualify for copyright protection and/or trademark protection. A Registered Patent Attorney can help.

Networking is one such field of the IT Industry that each and every other dimension or field of the same would require little or huge networking access or help. All the companies worldwide would require networks along with networking specialist professionals catering to their specific needs of network or requirements. Continuous capitalization and industrialization have led to the sudden growth in a number of companies worldwide and thereby have created a high demand and shortage of networking professionals that would be necessary to meet the requirement of ever-growing networking needs all over the world. Network related people are required to carry out a certain set of tasks so as to preserve and maintain the security of the data over a network making it less susceptible to problems. Security breaches, cyber-attacks and, threats etc. have been posing serious problems to networking companies which have forced them so as to prevent their networks from being malicious and vulnerable altogether. Such issues and problems have started creating huge IT problems which would make it a huge security concern for various company people and their management. Hence to protect the genuineness of crucial data from getting breached, the need for security professionals is being increased significantly. CCIE Security certification introduced by Cisco plays quite a major role in preserving the authenticity of data of various companies where the candidates who have acquired their CCIE Security skill sets are more than capable of performing various security tasks like troubleshooting, configuring and implementing Cisco solutions for internetworks. CCIE Security as a standalone certification has obtained tremendous growth in the scope of today IT Security and in years to come as the security of company's networks is going to require highly skilled experts to protect the system from unwanted access, viruses, and intrusion. CCIE Security Integrated Training would make an individual sound with all the network security aspects that would be certifying his or her skill set as that of an expert. CCIE Security certification posts its completion would then allow an individual to be well versed with all security protocols that would be required to safeguard the networks and parts like ASA firewalls, VPN, IPS, IOS Security features, etc. if you wish to ensure your success, you could do it by joining the SPOTO Club, they are the best training provider for any Cisco Certification.

The right and apt amount of knowledge can lead CCIE Security candidates towards achieving the exceptional heights on their own. CCIE Security Certifications that are provided by Cisco would serve as a blessing in disguise for companies who are willing to successfully protect their particular networks by using ultra-modern protection technologies through superior gadgets or devices.

Facing the running, gunning Todd County Lady Falcons was going to be tough enough. But without TyRel Thompson and Hayley Borah, the Lady Tigers were totally outmatched. Todd County scored the game's first 00 points and defeated the Lady Tigers 00-00 at Mobridge-Pollock High School Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon. Todd County raced up and down the court to take a 00-0 lead after one quarter. They led 00-0 when Landyn Henderson made the second of two free throws to put the Lady Tigers on the board with 0:00 left in the second quarter. One minute later, Megan Zahn scored the Lady Tigers' first field goal of the game. Then foul trouble became a problem as Henderson and Jadin Monsen each picked up their third foul, forcing Bachman to make some unusual moves. Without Thompson and Borah, the team was running out of ball handlers. The Lady Falcon lead grew to 00-0 before Zahn scored and Gennie Krause grabbed an offensive rebound and scored to beat the buzzer making the halftime score 00-0. Bachman said that despite the one-sided loss, there were some strong points for the Lady Tigers. "The girls did a good job getting back, getting their hands in passing lanes and even took a couple charges," said Bachman. Zahn was the only Lady Tiger to be an offensive threat on the night. She hit five field goals and scored 00 points. Krause and Hannah Stroeder scored two points each, while Henderson and Monsen hit one free throw each. Stroeder led the team on boards with nine rebounds. Zahn and Krause had four each. Raven Cournoyer led Todd County with 00 points and precision passing on the fast break. Kelsie Herman scored a game-high 00 points. Haylee Quick Bear scored nine points and pulled down a game-high 00 rebounds. The Lady Tigers host Groton Area in the first game of a Tiger/Lady Tiger doubleheader on Saturday. Tipoff should be around 0:00 p.m. Groton Area is 0-0 on the season. The Lady Tigers and Groton Area are playing for the 00th time. The Lady Tigers hold a scant 00-00 lead in the series. Mobridge-Pollock broke a two-game losing streak in the series with a 00-00 overtime win in Groton last season. Todd County: Raven Cournoyer 0 0-0 00, Kelsie Herman 0 0-0 00, Lacee Halligan 0 0-0 0, Haylee Quick Bear 0 0-0 0, Alanis Murray 0 0-0 00, Teciah Spotted Tail 0 0-0 0, Kylie Randall 0 0- 00, Amia Roach-Valandra 0 0-0 0, Totals 00 00-00 00.

Some people claim to speak what Jesus stood for but don't match up to His words. Some people claim to say what Jesus believed but then find their Jesus is quite different than the Jesus of the Bible. Some people have walked away from Jesus based on what they have seen or experienced by others but never really got to know Jesus of Nazareth for who He really is. Maybe it's time to stop assuming you know Jesus and spend some time hearing His words and seeing His actions. John knew he was writing to people who either knew little about the real Jesus and/or where leery of His claims. This time together will give you a chance to get a first hand account of the One who many worship, many deny, and many still seek. As we start our study, John lays out the deeper purpose of his gospel as well as the two main themes we will see repeated time and again. We will explore three errors that the world thinks of Jesus and refocus ourselves into the truths taught as we dig into John together.

After spending about a week in the Kebnekaise area with my wife and son I will wave goodbye to them and take off on my own for a couple of weeks. I will head more or less west from Keb until I hit the Norwegian border and then follow it cross-country going north on the Swedish side until it meets the border of Finland way up north at Treriksröset (the Three Country Cairn). From there I will head west towards the setting sun and hope to dip my toe in the salty Atlantic ocean at Storfjord, not far from fabled Troms. This will sort of be section III of IV in what has turned out to be a section hike of the Swedish mountains. Part I was done in 0000, on my very first very long hike with lightweight gear. I walked north from Hemavan with a baseweight of 00 kilos, quite an improvement on my usual 00 kilos, and ended up in Nikkaluokta after 000 kilometers of gloriuous hiking. It was this experience that made me decide to write a book, telling everybody, or at least Swedes, that hiking with light gear could be done also in the Arctic and still be safe and comfortable. As a result of this my first book, Vandra Fjäderlätt, was published in 0000. In 0000 I started from Hemavan again, but this time going south for another 000 kilometers, to Anjan Mountain Lodge. This leaves me with to sections left, the southernmost from Anjan to Grövelsjön and the northern one, from Nikkaluokta to Mt Pältsa and on to where the borders between Norway, Finland och Sweden meet. This is the one I will do this summer. The plan is to stay away from trails and bridges and travel cross country as much as possible without getting stupid about it. The reasons are simple, trails tend to put me in a rut, literally and mentally and I find it much more fun to pick my way with map and compass through new country. It is also good practise for parts of the world where trails and bridges are even fewer and farther between than in Swedish Lapland. I will cross one major road, and railway, at Riksgränsen east of Narvik. There I will resupply, likely by picking up a box sent on ahead. The whole trip should be roughly 000 kilometers and take some 00-00 days. Right now I'm way behind with gear planning for both the trip with my wife and son as well as the solo section hike. I'll get back as soon as I know more myself. Part of being behind with my planning is due to the fact that my latest book, "Smarter Backpacking after 00" was entered in the Amazon Kindle store only a few days ago. I hope to write more about it shortly, until then you can always pop into the Kindle store where you will find it here. I would like to buy Smarter Backpacking after 00, but unfortunately the e-book version is only in Kindle format and I happen to have the Sony e-reader, which uses EPUB. It's a pity that it can't be published in 0 formats. I suppose the book is DRM protected, otherwise I could converse it. I do not know if Amazon keeps it DRM proteced, I am not that familiar with the technology. Is there any way this could be checked so that you can get a convertible copy? Any plans of offering the book to the b&n nook? From what I understand there are systems (some maybe even legal?) to transfer e-books between different e-platforms. However, to be fair, do not expect anything within the next 0 months.

Bordered by a rail line to the east and Coldwater Road to the south, the buildings on this approximately 000.00-acre site have already been removed down to the slabs. The property, zoned I-0, Heavy Industrial, offers easy access to Interstate 000. Several environmental investigations were conducted on the site in 0000, while further investigations and interim measures were implemented between 0000 and 0000. Those measures included excavation of oil-impacted areas and soils exceeding cleanup criteria and replacing such areas with clean fill; building demolition; and delineation of areas of interest and groundwater not included in aquifer investigations. Current remedial work at the site includes finalizing required documentation, additional investigations of groundwater, and is anticipated to include filing deed restrictions. Work is being completed under the RCRA Corrective Action program under MDEQ oversight.

Julie took a part-time job as a scuba diver with a local tourist company that would take tourist out to sea on a passenger submarine to explore sea life. life would dramatically change forever when while diving at 00 feet... Today, she lives with her husband and three children and maintains an active, and independent lifestyle. Currently, she is fit with a below the elbow myo-electric prosthesis on the left side. In December of 0000, Julie and her husband were stationed in Okinawa Japan while her husband was serving in the United States Air Force. She took a part-time job as a scuba diver with a local tourist company that would take tourist out to sea on a passenger submarine to explore sea life. Julie's life would dramatically change forever when while diving at 00 feet, both of her hands were pulled into the propeller of the submarine amputating the right hand above the wrist and significantly damaging the left wrist, thumb, and hand. Following the accident and once she was in a stable condition, she was flown back to United States for a team of doctors to perform a remarkable reconstruction. Since the left hand and wrist were badly damaged, Julie and her doctors decided her best chance of rehabilitation was to transplant the three remaining fingers from the left hand onto her right hand. Her right wrist was undamaged and her right thumb was fused in a functional position. Currently, she is fit with a below the elbow myo-electric prosthesis on the left side. Today, she lives with her husband and three children and maintains an active, and independent lifestyle. Her husband is an airline pilot, and Julie is able to care for herself, her children, and their busy household independently while he is away. Although her right hand has undergone significant damage and surgical reconstruction, she relies heavily on her prosthesis as her dominant hand to accomplish daily activities such as laundry, housekeeping, driving, etc. required to maintain a busy household. Most of all, Julie is a very active, "hands-on", mother of three children and is very involved in all their school, sports, and social activities.

The Twinline is the first fully-fledged combination of a bathtub and a shower. This idea proved itself to be a forward-looking concept when it was first presented at the ISH in 0000. The success of the TWINLINE greatly exceeded all expectations. The huge demand for this new comfort solution for the bathroom led to continual further development and expansion of the TWINLINE range with many different models. Especially the target groups bathroom renovators and owners of small bathrooms were enthusiastic about the idea of the shower-bathtub from the beginning. In 0000 Artweger therefore extended the product line and, in addition to the classic model, launched a completely new series onto the market - the Twinline 0. This series of models is the ideal solution for rapid tub exchange - especially for small bathrooms - due to its rectangular tub design and the mechanical safety lock. With the launch of the Artlift in 0000 the principle of the shower-bathtub was further developed once more. In addition to comfortable access to the tub and the choice of bath or shower this series of models with its integrated comfortable seat lift provides significant ease when sitting down or standing back up in the tub. The innovative shower-bathtub with barrier free access and seat lift supports independent living within one's own four walls, especially for elder or ill people. With this product development Artweger has reacted to the changing needs of people in a society which is becoming increasingly aged. For the 00th anniversary of its shower-bathtub Artweger has improved the splash protection of the Twinline 0 with an optional door element. An additional wing of genuine glass is mounted on the shower doors which can be easily folded inwards or outwards. The glass wing can also be mounted on existing facilities and is possible for every size Twinline 0 as well as for all Artlift models. That makes sure that everything remains dry outside the tub even during the most energetic shower.

In the wake of the recent recession, real estate bubble bursts have led to many foreclosures and bankruptcies. The process that is used to rebuild such situations, is not exactly complicated, but is definitely painful. During the economic recession of 0000-00, the real estate market was deeply affected. In addition to many lenders suffering considerable losses, common consumers went through traumatic experiences such as bankruptcy and foreclosures. Tattered credit ratings and a hopeless financial conditions are definitely morally degrading, and one can also lose all hope of rebuilding the credit. When a mortgage loan is availed by a consumer, in order to purchase real estate or a home, the purchased asset is pledged as a collateral of this loan. It means that in case of a default, as the right to lien is held by the mortgage lender, he can auction the real estate for loss recovery. This process is conducted by the lender in accordance with the court laws. In this situation, credit report, rating, and score, all drop down as a result of late and defaulted payments. The worst part is that the consumer is not able to borrow any kind of loan or use a credit card, for a very long period of time. Hence, it is essential to ensure that one rebuilds a damaged credit report as soon as possible. The only thing one cannot repair in the credit report is the credit history, as it stays on it forever. In order to amend this situation, you may resort to the following steps. Curb all unwanted interest rates. It so happens, that as a result of unsecured loans and credit cards, we end up paying a lot of interest to lenders, which is quite an unnecessary expenditure. Hence, all credit card services that you have been using can be stopped for the time being. This will drastically reduce your burden as you won't have to deal with payment dates and late fees. Surrender all assets that are pledged as collateral, and get a certificate of a full and final loan payment. If you own more than one car and if one of them happens to be tied to an auto loan, then it would be wise to surrender such a car. After this step, you won't have to pay any installments and you won't have almost any liability on your balance sheet. If you have any shopping or grocery store card, then it would be wise to cancel them as well. Theoretically, you should be canceling any service that carries a 'service charge' or an interest. However, don't cancel medical services or insurance coverage. All your financial affairs should be set up right. Hence, write down your salary, bank statements, and check your balances. Plan out your expenditures and open 0 saving accounts in three different banks. The first one would operate as a current account used for monthly expenditures. The second one will be for a sinking fund, and the third one will be for a permanent savings fund. All canceled credit services means that your score and rating will no longer decrease, but remain stationary, and with gradual passage of time, will increase slowly. Once you have become sufficiently stable, you can take a slight risk and apply for a credit card, with the lowest possible limit. Next, apply for a debit card as well as a prepaid credit card. These will help you to increase your credit rating gradually and safely. While using them to preserve your rating, use the credit card for monthly expenditures like grocery. Use the debit card for gas filling, and the prepaid credit card for household bills. Remember to pay all card bills on time. This is a risk free and easier way of rebuilding your credit after foreclosure.

The Brookmans Park Transmitting Station, situated on the A0000 road between Potters Bar and Hatfield in Hertfordshire, played a crucial part in the history of broadcasting in Great Britain. It was the first purpose-built twin transmitter station in the world capable of broadcasting two radio programmes simultaneously when it was completed in October 0000. It also played a part in the early development of television broadcasting. The building was commissioned by the newly formed (in 0000) British Broadcasting Corporation (formerly known as the British Broadcasting Co Ltd (0000) and later referred to universally as the BBC). The station was the first part of the BBC's adventurous experimental Regional Scheme, which aimed to improve and extend existing radio reception to cover the whole of Britain. In the 0000s, before the Regional Scheme was initiated, the radio broadcasting service was rudimentary. Only one programme could be transmitted at a time from a series of relatively low-powered one/two Kilowatt town-centre based transmitters around the British Isles and eleven relay stations. Good reception was restricted in most cases to a radius of three miles. There were many parts of the country where reception was poor or non-existent. An engineer at the BBC, P P Eckersley, conceived the Regional Scheme in 0000 with the aim of broadcasting a choice of programmes to listeners and to cover the whole of Britain. The London station, as Brookmans Park was referred to, was designed specifically as a twin-wave station housed in one building, and sharing between the two transmitters as much common auxiliary gear as possible. The stations in the Regional Scheme were designed to provide good reception on inexpensive receiving apparatus in a radius of eighty miles. To achieve this, much more powerful transmitters (00 Kilowatt) were required but in order to avoid swamping of receivers nearby, new, open sites were necessary to house them. This entailed the scrapping of practically all the existing transmitters since they were mostly located in city centres, such as radio 0LO on the roof of Selfridges department store in Oxford Street, London. It also required new designed-for-purpose transmitting stations. Hence the development of the Regional Scheme. Brookmans Park was to be the first transmitter in the Regional Scheme and was to serve London and the Home Counties. There were various reasons why a site north of London was chosen. To the west, there was a problem of signals being strong enough to reach Essex and the eastern counties as well as being strong enough to overcome signals from ships at sea. To the east, much of the reception would be wasted over the North Sea. To the south, civil aviation regulations precluded the erection of masts on the North Downs. A site to the north was therefore considered preferable. The site needed to be fairly high and flat, no more from fifteen miles from central London, isolated from highly populated or built-up areas, and accessible to Post Office telephone cable routes. The Brookmans Park site was Lot 0 (Field 00) of the newly broken up Brookmans Park Estate. It was a flat, grassy plain of 00 acres, 000 feet above sea level, one of the highest points in the county of Hertfordshire, and fifteen miles from Charing Cross in central London. It had only one significant problem - hard water, which could damage the valves. This drawback was overcome with the inclusion of a water softening plant at a late stage in the station's development. The BBC providentially took an option on an adjoining piece of land of 00 acres in size, which later housed the earthing system of the transmitters. The Brookmans Park Estate was trying to develop its land for housing, especially for commuters to London after the opening of the railway station in 0000. By the late 0000s Brookmans Park itself consisted of approximately 000 houses but business was not as brisk as the Estate would have wished - a situation that would continue until after the Second World War. The Estate must have been pleased, therefore, to dispose of such a large lot to one purchaser for the sum of £00,000. The BBC encountered few planning or building restrictions. It was fortunate that the transmitting station was completed before the Town & Country Act of 0000 came into force. The local government authority at the time, Hatfield Rural District Council, when permission was sought to site the transmitting station on the Brookmans Park site had no objection to steel masts on the site neither was the site found to be part of an exiting "Town Planning Scheme". The only Council restriction appears to have been that the building be sited sixty feet back from the centre of the road. Local enquiries suggest that the prospect of a new source of rates was welcomed. This was later realised, as before the Second World War, the BBC was one of Hatfield's highest ratepayers. An interview with an eyewitness to the construction of the station remembers no local opposition from the few residents of Brookmans Park at the time. He described the arrival of the Transmitting Station as "a five minute wonder". When the BBC bought the land they insisted on a covenant being imposed on all lots sold by the Brookmans Park Estate. This stated that the estate should not allow "the use of any machinery plant or apparatus involving the employment of high frequency or high voltage electricity or any process of manufacture calculated to cause interference with the normal working of the purchasers Broadcasting Station and works connected therewith". In 0000 a solicitor inquired of the BBC whether this included a retail wireless business or hairdressers. The answer was "no" but, if it had been "yes", the development of Brookmans Park village and its shops may have been severely restricted. This covenant may have saved Brookmans Park village for domestic development, rather than industrial. Although it comes under Green Belt planning restrictions today, these did not come into operation until 0000. It may be a coincidence but it should be noted, however, that in the 0000s, a conveyance of land previously owned by the Brookmans Park Estate included a restrictive covenant. It stated that "no trade, business or manufacture nor any noisome noisy offensive or dangerous occupation shall be carried on upon the said land". "A high-power wireless station is such a lovely thing. The process is silent, there is no gas or smell or fussy reciprocation, no sound except a purposeful humming. One is conscious of power contained and controlled. I felt that the building should be fitting to performance." Fortunately for Eckersley, the head of the BBC, Sir John (later) Lord Reith supported him. According to one author on the history of the BBC (Edward Pawley, 0000) "they [the new Regional transmitting stations] were larger than strictly necessary for technical reasons because Reith wanted them to symbolise the status of broadcasting as a part of national life". The area of the Brookmans Park station was 00,000 square feet as compared with the 000 square feet of the single transmitter site at Selfridges, which it replaced. A transmitter station is obviously primarily an engineering project. Attention to the design of the building is of limited interest therefore. The priority is the space to house the machinery. It appears that it was only due to the personality and sense of occasion of Eckersley, supported by Reith, that any consideration was given to the building's design at all. He describes how he was "disappointed by sketches of architectural designs based, as it seemed on the 'Boy's Own Building Set in Seventeen Pieces' and others too functional to be beautiful". It was more of an accident, as Eckersley described how he came across the architect for the first station of the Regional Scheme at Brookmans Park: "At last Mr Guthrie, an understanding architect, disciplined some indicative lines I drew at lunch on the back of a menu". L R Guthrie's architectural practice, Wimperis, Simpson & Guthrie, worked on the Fortnum and Mason building in Piccadilly (0000-00) and was working on the Cambridge Theatre (opened 0000), both in London, at the time that Eckersley was discussing with them the plan for the Brookmans Park Transmitting Station. The transmitting station was constructed using bricks with a facing of Portland stone to the front elevation. It consisted of offices, a tuning fork room, one large and two small battery rooms, control rooms, an engine room, a machine room, a workshop, store rooms and a boiler room. Undoubtedly, though, the main feature of the plan was the huge transmitter hall with a ceiling of reinforced concrete approximately 00 feet wide and 00 feet long. There was brass window and door furniture in the offices and oak flooring in the transmitter hall. Huge sliding windows enabled the large machinery to be installed in the building. The original building cost £00,000 and was built by the company, Anglo Scottish Construction. The cost of the whole project excluding the transmitters was £000,000, including the purchase of the land. Final estimates of the entire scheme at Brookmans Park were £000,000. When it was finished, however, even Eckersley, who was instrumental in choosing the architects wrote that the completed station at Brookmans Park "a composition of big windows framed in Portland stone and a rather pompous entrance, is good, but it fell short of our imaginings." He continued "It was certainly unconventional and I expect that is why some thought it ugly. My concentration on the aesthetic issues in an engineering scheme was a source of tolerant mirth among BBC technicians. One of the engineers called it 'art nonsense'. I felt when the station was built that the main transmitter hall at any rate justified my childish preoccupation with appearance as well as performance." The first programme from Brookmans Park, the London Regional, was transmitted on 00 October 0000 and the second simultaneous programme, the National service, on 0 March 0000, both using medium wavelengths. After the success of the London station at Brookmans Park, the regional scheme went on to its successful completion. There was controversy at the time the Regional Scheme was introduced. Previously, the city centre based single signals could be picked up on home made receivers such as from a cigar box with an earphone attached with a clothesline acting as aerial. After twin-transmitting stations opened, these rudimentary sets were obsolete as they could not differentiate between the two signals. The development and production of purpose-built domestic wireless sets were given a boost and a new commercial industry spawned. The original Marconi transmitters installed in Brookmans Park continued in use until the Second World War. When France was invaded in June 0000, there was a need to increase the power of the existing European Service and to overcome jamming from Europe. Consequently, a powerful 000 kilowatt transmitter was installed at Brookmans Park in an extension to the original building, which came into service on 0 March 0000. The station was of strategic importance to the war effort. To reflect this, the building was painted in camouflage paint and the windows bricked up or had metal shutters placed over them. Soldiers were camped in the driveway to guard the station. Although the original targets are unknown unexploded bombs fell in Georges Wood Road and Moffats Lane, Brookmans Park in November 0000, missing the nearby transmitting station. There was no external power supply to the site. In 0000, when the building was completed, the transmitters in the Brookmans Park station were powered on site by diesel generators with a huge standby battery, which required its own room in the building's plan. The current then was DC but, once the station was connected to the national grid in 0000, the transmitters were powered directly from it using AC current with a standby generator in case of power failure. The first aerials were 000 feet high due to Air Ministry restrictions. Their height was raised to 000 feet later and were used as an aircraft beacon between 0000-0000. The aerials have fallen down twice. Once, in 0000, during a gale and the other, in 0000, when they were undergoing maintenance. One local negative effect of the transmitting station relates to the rapid domestic development of the village of Brookmans Park since the Second World War. The originators of the Regional Scheme sought open sites for their transmitting stations away from high-density populations so that local residents would not be swamped by the stronger signals from the more powerful transmitters. Once the Regional Scheme was completed and operational, the complaints that the BBC did receive at the time came mostly from those living close to the new transmitting stations for this very reason. In Brookmans Park, this is an issue that continues to the present day. Many residents employ a series of filters on their televisions and telephones to prevent them from picking up radio programmes. They cannot, however, prevent signals being picked up by domestic wiring, radiators and metal coal buckets! Technology might yet come to their aid, as changing telephones and televisions from analogue to digital appears to remove interference from the radio transmitter. Besides its influence on radio broadcasting, Brookmans Park station can also claim to have contributed to television broadcasting. Being able to transmit on two waves simultaneously it became possible to transmit sound and vision. On 00 March 0000, experimental television tests were made there using thirty line pictures. These constituted the first public transmission of simultaneous sound and vision in Great Britain and, probably, the world. From March 0000 to June 0000, the Baird Company originated regular, experimental programmes after the radio programmes closed down late at night. The BBC took these over in the Autumn of 0000, with reports that the pictures were picked up in Marburg, Germany on a hand-made set. The Brookmans Park Transmitting Station is a marvellous example of a building sustained, yet ravaged, by technological progress. From its beginning in the 0000s, the siting of the building was successful and remained so to the end of the twentieth century and beyond, although it has undergone many changes. The original 0000 building had to be extended in 0000 to house the ever more powerful transmitters. A few decades later, due to the miniaturisation of machinery, the transmitters only filled one part of the building leaving much of the original structure and the 0000 extension, obsolete (from a transmitting point of view). By the end of the twentieth and into the twenty-first century passers by could observe the satellite dishes and mobile telephone masts that adorn the site, nestling between and beneath the radio aerials as technology moves on yet again. The Brookmans Park Transmitting Station, aided by its location, is a monument to technological progress and how a building can adapt with it. It is also a monument to the pioneers of early British broadcasting.

0000 is here...my how time flies by! I know what you're thinking with this blog post title, but it's not what you think. We're talking eyeglasses, not a new bike. Yes...cycling specific, partial wrap-around prescription sunglasses! I've worn eyeglasses since high school and although I've had various forms of prescription sunglasses, I never did pull the trigger on cycling-specific shades. When you're young and poor with an ever changing Rx, you can always find better ways to spend your $$. Now that I'm older with a more stable Rx and a little discretionary money to spend, I decided to stop lusting at the catalog pages and take some action. This led me to SportRx.com and Rob their cycling optician. Rob presented me with some options that would or might work with my very strong prescription...needless to say, the options were not many. He encouraged me to partake in their "test ride" program wherein they send me the frames I'm interested in trying o n without any obligations. I selected for my first choice the Rudy Project Horus despite knowing that they were very borderline for my Rx. The Horus lenses did introduce some minor distortions to my vision but the longer I had them on the more I got use to it. The ability to see fine detail on the road surface was enhanced. Peripheral vision was blurry, but that happens to me now with my regular progressive glasses. I think they'll be keepers...but I won't make the final decision until I try them on a couple of mid-day rides. A quick update on last week's blog post. I never did get into that training groove thanks to a few days of relentless rain and pent up yard work from the last few weekends of yard neglect! Of course, there's always this week!! I'm hoping this week to have a breakthough with my riding and to hit a training groove I can sustain. If tonight's ride is any indication, I might be there. Monday would normally be a recovery day (non-riding), but I didn't ride this weekend (spent 0 days down the Cape for my sister's wedding). So with fresh legs and a beautiful early evening, I figured I'd get in at least 00 miles. My mindset when I set out was just to spin and not to push it. But as seems to be the case at some point in each riding season, my easy ride turned into a ride with an easy to maintain pace faster than my rides the past few weeks...and on the loop I've primarily been riding over the same period. My breakthrough ride? We'll see. Tis the question I need to answer if my blog posts are going to be more than a month apart! Some of my favorite cycling bloggers have apparently walked away from a presence on the web...others clearly struggle like I do with issues of time, interest, topics and audience. This was mainly meant to be a training journal...open to the public for comment...an attempt to add some accountability. It's not like I lack for topics as it's my journal and I continue to ride...and I have dozens of post ideas jotted down on multiple pieces of paper floating around my office, home and backpack. I guess it's time and interest. Speaking of riding, my miles as shown in the side-bar are meager so far this year but I keep plugging away. In fact, last week I hit a milestone of sorts...I surpassed my meager total from all of last year. Not a huge accomplishment but one I truly hope to build on. I knew something wasn't quite right on Friday afternoon when I started getting stomach cramps half-way through a 00 mile ride. I sometimes get mild stomach cramps after rides or on those hot summer rides immediately after replenishing electrolytes, but this was something different. The cramps eased up after the ride and I had my usual ravenous appetite, but something still did not feel right with my body. I went to bed figuring I'd feel much better in the morning. Wrong! Morning brought the revelation that I had a stomach virus...a nasty one. I'll skip the gory details suffice it to say that by Sunday morning I had lost 0-0 pounds. I'm definitely trying to lose weight but not like that! So much for my weekend plans. Missed my cousin's wedding...couldn't go out on Mother's Day...no yard work got done...and goose egg entries in the training log! Truly a lost weekend. Weekly riding stats are updated in the right side-bar. The weight entry is not a typo...that was my weight on Sunday morning. As I write this, I have thankfully gained 0.0 lbs back. Number of riding days - 00 out of 00 planned. To many of you these are very modest stats, but to me these numbers are huge. My early season track record is pretty spotty, so what I accomplished this April is indicative of some better cycling ahead. The 0 missed days were due to a combination of rain and Sunday family commitments, which crimped my already tight schedule. Beyond May, the holidays and family commitments ease up a bit. Last year I devised a training schedule that was meant to increase the average distance of my rides, lower the number of riding days per week and overall to allow me more recovery time between rides. My reasons for this are chronicled in a couple of 0000 posts (here and here). Of course, I was never able to implement that plan last year. This year, when I went out on my first few rides, the objective was just to get out and ride. Having not been on a bike for 0 months I was very aware of the potential for overuse injuries, so I wanted to keep the rides short and ease into the season. That plan so far has been successful, but while I'm slowly increasing the miles, I'm still fiddling with a training schedule and intensity level that works for me. Some people may chuckle when I refer to a training schedule, but that's simply my formula for motivation...and it has always worked in the past. Training of course suggests goals and I have two. The first and most important is to lose weight. I'd like to shed the 0 handle once and for all this year. The second is to be able to ride some fast and comfortable century rides later in the season. If April is any indication, I'm well on my way to achieving those two goals this year. Wish me luck! More Springtime in New England! Yesterday it was only in the 00s...today we bumped up against 00...summertime conditions!! I'm hoping to do regular Tuesday and Thursday weekday rides this year, so a longish ride was in order. First ride of the season in shorts (without knee warmers) and short sleeves. 00.0 miles @ 00.0 mph. I'm happy with my progress so far. A dose of cold...a dash of Spring. That describes the contrasting conditions on my last two rides. Thursday's ride was frigid for April...the temperature was 00 but the wind was blowing a steady 00 mph from the northwest with gusts to 00 mph. It's tough to get out in these conditions but it always feels great at the end of the ride when you know the training benefits of riding in the stiff wind will pay off later. On Friday there was a quick turnaround in weather conditions as the temperature rose to near 00 and the wind retreated, making for a very nice 00 mile ride. I'm pretty happy with my last four weeks of riding. The rides have been short but that's by design and it's still early in the season. More importantly, I'm happier with my weight loss of 0 pounds over the same time period because it's due more to eating better than piling up the cycling miles. If I can keep the diet on track, the pounds will melt away easily when the miles start piling up. But that's the rub, as my track record is one of using cycling as an excuse to eat more! My weekly stats are updated on the side-bar to the right. ...another series of rides to build on. Four rides last week...four short, WINDY rides in tight fitting cycling clothes. Part of my motivation to keep riding is to get these clothes to fit normally again! So in that regard, the wind is my friend...because the wind is my training partner (with thanks to A Midnight Rider). Can I keep this going? That is the all important question. Some folks write about epic training rides and personal bests...others wax poetic about all things velo. My post today is to report on a modest accomplishment; namely, back to back weekend bike rides. No mileage...no timing...no stats...just two short rides to build on. Felt good to be rolling on two wheels again. Cycling is therapeutic to me, hence the blog title. Inspired by my bikes (see photos below).

Hearing Avishai Cohen play on the recording session for Mark Turner's recent Lathe of Heaven album, producer Manfred Eicher was struck by the trumpeter's contribution at once. "I immediately liked Avishai's tone, his phrasing, his energy and purity of sound," he said. Now comes Cohen's ECM leader debut with Into the Silence, an album dedicated to the memory of his late father. The trumpeter composed a sequence of emotive melodies reflecting on the last days of his father's life, with muted horn setting the very personal, deeply felt tone of this music from the start. Along with the expressive grace and restraint of Cohen's trumpet, there is searching, often blue-hued piano, lyrically mirroring saxophone and a kindred-spirit rhythm duo that responds with utmost subtlety to the beauty in the music. The core quartet for Into the Silence features Cohen alongside two longtime collaborators: pianist Yonathan Avishai (a decade-long member with the trumpeter in multicultural band Third World Love) and first-call New York drummer Nasheet Waits (one-third of Cohen's freewheeling trio Triveni). Bassist Eric Revis, a mainstay of the Branford Marsalis Quartet for two decades, has also been a key rhythm-section partner for Waits in multiple bands (including in the cooperative trio Tarbaby with pianist Orrin Evans and in guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel's trio). Augmenting Cohen's quartet on several pieces is tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry, an understated modernist who has played with the likes of Paul Motian and Andrew Cyrille. Cohen lived with his melodies for months, just in his head or at the piano. Much of the music had never come through his horn until the first takes in the studio. "I played through the tunes with Yonathan at the piano before the recording session, but it was brand new to everyone else, so everyone's responses were completely fresh," the trumpeter says. "The first track you hear on the album, ‘Life and Death' - that's the band's very first impression of the piece. We were all discovering the potential of the music as we were playing. The experience of working with Manfred was fantastic. I'm used to producing my own records, but it was invaluable having his ears and experience for something like this. We saw the same picture in our heads from the start, shaping the album together as we went.

Google Domain sites will be hosted on Google's own DNS servers - which the company says guarantees a quick response time -- and users will be able to buy and sell their domains without being charged extra for private registration. They'll also be able to create up to 000 email addresses and 000 customized subdomains. The company says users who purchase or transfer a domain to Google Domains can create their websites through one of their partnering website builders -- Shopify, Squarespace, Weebly and Wix. Through Domains, the tech giant is taking aim at GoDaddy, which filed for an initial public offering earlier this month, and other domain-name registration companies. The move also extends Google's push to serve small businesses. About 00 percent of small businesses still don't have their own website, which hurts their growth and job growth, according to a study cited by Google. Earlier this month, Google released its My Business dashboard to help small businesses manage their web presence more easily across Google's products from a centralized dashboard.

Starting with a knot in your thread pull your needle through from the back to the front of the fabric. This would be start point A. Creating a long stitch on the back of the fabric insert the needle through point C. The key to a good back stitch is to try and keep the stitches as even as possible.

Chemical tests came back negative Wednesday (Feb. 00) on contents of a 'suspicious letter' that caused evacuation of an office building Tuesday (Feb. 00) at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. Although the VA employee who opened the envelope described a "gritty, musty-smelling" substance inside, a VA spokeswoman said FBI agents found nothing except a letter. Officers from the Palo Alto Fire Department and its hazardous-materials team taped off an area surrounding the VA's Building 0 Tuesday, after the employee reported feeling ill upon opening the suspicious envelope. Several hours later, FBI agents arrived and removed the substance for testing. A U.S. Postal Service inspector also was on the scene. The employee sought treatment in the VA's emergency room after saying he had felt an unusual substance on his hands when opening the envelope, VA spokeswoman Kerri Childress said. The first floor of building No. 0 at 0000 Miranda Ave. -- housing staff members who work in human resources, contracting and logistics -- was evacuated, and all air vents were turned off, Childress said. Fire personnel temporarily isolated employees on other floors, and 000 workers left the building. No patients are housed in building No. 0 and there is no connection to patient-care areas, she said. By 0:00 p.m., at least three people had gone through a decontamination process and were being escorted to the emergency room to have their vital signs checked, an emergency responder said. By 0:00 p.m. Tuesday, at least seven others had been decontaminated. The section of building No. 0 where the letter was handled has been re-opened after having been sealed off pending results from the FBI, Childress said Wednesday. first!!!My wife was one of the people evacuated, but she didn't get any real information other than suspicious package. Aren't these the some of the firefighters and equipment, you and "your study" want to cut. Keep away from Barron Park and the Stanford Industrial Park! Why not close Fire Station One at Alma and Everett and contract for services with Menlo Park! Oops, wait a minute, what about the HUGE Stanford Hospital and Stanford University expansions? Isn't Stanford a major PARTNER in our local Emergency Services? Oops, wait two minutes, IN CALIFORNIA, Fire and Emergency Services are organized by COUNTY! Isn't Menlo Park in San Mateo County? I guess that's why when Palo or Stanford needs an additional AMBULANCE, the ambulances come from Santa Clara County! Gee, didn't James Keane really do a great job of hiring a consultant to effectively assess our local fire department. Please.... Let's hire a consultant and evaluate our City Manager and City Council. Wait a minute, why not just cut all of our "traffic mitigation plans and projects." Then after our fire department is gutted, the PANDAS oops CERT volunteers will be able to quickly assist the VA Hospital and Stanford Hospital in times of need! Do the CERTS have any hazardous materials training? Go Jim Keane; go back to Berkeley! Might we be able to contract out our City Manager's Office? Maybe we can get Mountain View to bid on supplying us with a City Manager. Kevin Duggan is much more effective! Kevin is most likely too smart to want to get involved in Palo Alto! I think it's a very interesting point that the study wanted to pull the Hazmat unit. Apart from unusual situations like this, there is a surprisingly large number of businesses in the Palo Alto area that utilize hazardous chemicals, particularly in the high-tech industry. Lets not forget that the same Rescue unit out of the fire hall on Hanover has other very important functions, R0 also is the team that does search's for people at fires, extricates people from wrecked vehicles. They have specialized tools and equipment and have a primary role of saving human life. No water, hose or ladder. They exist to provide a primary function at emergencies. What does the Assistant City Manager do? Seems crazy that the City wants to shutdown a Rescue Unit and at the same time hire a staff and director to take over and run the Palo Alto Airport from the County. Restructuring and reorganizing the pafd to become an efficient, cost effective organization is what the city manager is working on. The citizens are behind him. We realize the union would prefer to have 00+ union folks sleeping away every night, making $000K, hanging out at Peet's or Safeway. But it is time for a change. You obviously have no idea what you continue to rant about, you have no idea what firefighter/paramedics acualy do during their tours of duty. Unless you have worked for a fire dept in a urb/burb enviroment your just assuming what they do. THE FACTS ARE, the PAFD is smaller than it was 00 years ago in Palo Alto and today they are responding to thousands of more calls every year. The recent "study" by ICMA "city managers" is calling for fire hall closures. When measure R was being debated the NO on R folks kept saying the firefighters were alarming people because "nobody is calling for fire hall closures" well guess what? fast forward. Closing stations and reducing emergency workers is exactly what the City Manager wants to do now. Where is ex Council member Wheeler now? The facts will show that many other depts in the City including the City Managers office and City Attorneys office saw record growth and added employees during the 0000's and 0000's! How does anyone justify that growth? You keep calling for paying workers in this area the "national average" that clearly shows you are out of touch with reality. Nobody or no industry in the bay area pays the national average. You can't even run a fast food place by paying a worker in Mtn View or PA the national average for flipping burgers. Are you working 00+ hour weeks? up at 0,0,0, AM responding to emergencies and treating injured people? getting spit, puked, punched? exposed to toxic chemicals? Hep, HIV,TB,etc? carrying 000lb+ people down flights of stairs after they have a heart attack? going without rest or sleep for 00-00 hours on a regular basis? Unless you have actualy walked in another workers shoes or have done what they do under the same conditions you have no educated idea. Jake, you can keep on whining but change is coming. My guess is you are sitting around the station right now with nothing to do. Probably woke up a bit ago from a restful night of sleep. All while on the pafd payroll. Measure R was about a militant union trying to impose a feather bedding contract on the city. It was soundly defeated by the voters. Possibly even more important than defeating the feather bedding initiative, the voters now understand what they are dealing with. A bunch of non PA residents being led by a union boss, trying to scare citizens in to an even more wasteful contract. If you don't like it, go find another job. My guess is that you couldn't find another job for 00% of the $'s PA is giving you. When dozens of folks are applying for every opening, the market is out of balance. You know that there are very few fires in Palo Alto. The department needs to be reorganized to mee the demands of todays's emergencies. PA should consider contracting with Cal Fire. The labor costs would be approx 00% as much for the same level of service. 0.) make retirement age 00 amd eliminate all the disability games ff's play. if they want to quit early fine but should not retiremtn pay until they are 00 (at the earliest). if they haven't saved enough they can find other work till they turn 00. 0.) cap annual retirement pay at $00K per year. These changes are long over due. The silver lining of Measure R was that the taxpayers now understand the problems that need to be corrected with the pafd. "Taxpayer" Where do you get your information? obviously from nowhere credible. Again you make personal attacks about people you don't work with in a profession you know little if nothing about. "contracting with CalFire for same level of service"? "00% as much"? First off it would not be the same level of service, I have seen no proposal from CalFire for one so YOU have nothing to draw your "facts" from. CalFire does an excellent job at what they do but they are not a city, urban or suburban fire/ems service organization. Why should I "go find another job"? because you say I should? Why? I don't like your "changes"? Taxpayer, you don't make changes! you make uninformed comments about a profession you know nothing about. Where did you draw your obviously biased views about firefighters from? Leave it to Beaver maybe? Gus at the fire hall looked to be about 00-00 years old. I'm also in support about putting anyone in jail who practices workers comp fraud, I don't care what profession they are in. A crime is a crime, those who rip off workers comp insurance hurt those with real job related ill's. There are way more non firefighters filing false claims than firefighters. Since you advocate firefighters working into their sixties do you have any data to support why that would be a good idea? any data on increased death or injury rates possibly? I guess 00-00+ of 00 hour weeks is not good enough for you. Do you feel the military should also start making those in uniform serve until they are in their sixties as well? The number of applicants has nothing to do with who is actualy able to get hired, very few actualy are capable of getting hired. The 00 and a pulse min requirement many cities have does not reflect the fact that people may apply and meet the almost zero requirement HR puts in place. The people who actualy get hired have been preparing for years, degrees, paramedic school, college, etc. Then come the tests! few pass the tests! if they make it through that then they might not pass background screening. The actual number of people who make it to the list of those who can possibly go forward is SMALL! If they opened up the NFL to 00 and HS grad I'm sure they would get millions of applicants! but who is actualy capable of making it in the NFL out of those numbers? Using that logic should we pay everyone based on the number of people who apply for the job? or should people be paid using actual logic? I'm sorry if your girlfriend or wife ran off with an emergency worker or if you couldnt make the grade. How silly to see Jake comparing ff's to NFL players or military folks. NFL players are elite, world class athletes. Some ff's are athletic. Most are just ordinary folks. Many are over weight and out of shape. The comparison to the military is an insult to our armed forces. Soldiers, sailors, marines, airforce are getting shot at, while protecting our country. Bus drivers, farmers, have higher injury rates than ff's. You guys need to get over yourselves and accept that you are ridiculously over compensated. Do the math. Cal fire works 00 hours shifts to your 00 hours. So just on hours you are 00% more expensive. Cal Fire averages $00K to your $00K. So in just $s you are 00% costlier. Not ot mention the O/T we would avoid by using Cal Fire. Instead of comparing yor self to NFL players or soldiers, a better comparison would be to truck drivers, or EMTs, or sanitation workers. Your annual pay should be in the $00K range. "resident" many Firefighters were in the military. Some still are and are deployed as we speak. You have no idea what you are talking about. I respect every member of the armed forces, they actualy risk something. The truth is the majority of those in the military are supporting those in the field in some way or form. Just as important! so don't get me wrong. Every member is serving a roll that is needed. The person doing mapping in Virginia for the unit in a middle east mountain pass is doing a vital job that may result in lives lost and keep our soldiers safe and effective. But the truth is the soldier in Virgina may have a skill that keeps them out of the field. Safe for sure but just as important as the field soldier. Not everyone in the military is risking their life, everyone can't be in the field and it takes many people behind the lines to keep a soldier in the field. I noticed you compare firefighters and paramedics to sanitation workers and truck drivers? is that a judgment by you that removing garbage requires the same education, skills, dedication, training as providing emergency medical care and saving property and life? Don't get me wrong, the world would be disease ridden and smelly to say the least if there were not people willing to be sanitation workers. I hate to break it to you but my neighbor works in the sanitation industry and they make more than a firefighter. Less hours and holidays off too! I don't hold it against sanitation workers either, It's very hard work, hard on the body and not something most people would view as a job they would like to do. I drove a truck for several years while in college, not even remotely close to same required skills or education needed to be a firefighter or paramedic. The US would come to a halt without truck drivers and another under appreciated vocation but again not the same job as a FF. Most of the FFs hired now have four year degrees, 0 years of additional FF training plus EMT school. If they are a paramedic you can add about another year of school, hospital rotation, internship. Again, it's 0000 in Silicon Valley not 0000 in Sacramento. I'm not thinking for a min that FFs are all that, but most FFs have found themselves in harms way than the average person in the military. The vast percentage of those in the military are providing service that is needed and part of a large team that relys on eachother. But the truth is most of them are serving in a role that does not require being in a combat area or in a hostile zone or place. For you to state that all military people are being shot at or in harms way is simply not factual. They hopefully never will and may probably never have, that fact does not make them undeserving of our respect and thanks. CalFire employees also make huge percentage of their income with OT during the summer months. CalFire seems to never mention that, I'm not talking about summer hire seasonal FFs, ie college students either. I would like to know what "taxpayer" and "resident" do for a living. That is besides knowing it seems, exactly what FFs/paramedics do or don't do according to them. "resident" I was refering to the Military in my previous post regarding the age at which people should serve until.

As part of my ongoing research a series of MatLab image analysis / processing codes have been developed all themed around high-resolution dark field STEM imaging. These are each summarised below with links to their dedicated pages. Jitterbug is a piece of code that attempts to remedy some of the most common imaging defects found in STEM images, including scan noise, specimen drift, and probe wobble (both horizontal & vertical). In tests the current version yields SNR improvements of up to 00% and resolution improvements of up to 00% by correcting images in post-processing. Jitterbug is available to download for free for academic/non-commercial use. A full-length paper describing the technique is available here. Absolute Integrator is a highly automated tool for quantitative HAADF STEM analysis. Using a complimentary annular-detector sensitivity map this code converts HAADF images to units of fractional beam intensity, calibrates image magnification, subtracts amorphous background, identifies the atomic columns and then calculates their total scattering cross-sections. The output from this code is directly comparable with image simulation for thickness / composition analysis. Absolute Integrator is available for free download for academic / non-commercial use. Smart Align is a tool for the rigid and/or non-rigid realignment of multiple STEM images. The input images can be bright-field or dark-field and either time-series or focal-series. Smart Align is designed to avoid the common problem of ‘crystal-hopping' often encountered when re-registering periodic crystal images. Ranger is an automated peak finding algorithm designed to identify features (usually atoms / atomic-columns) in dark-field STEM electron micrographs. This automated MatLab™ routine is designed to be self-optimising and is suitable for crystal-images, edges, grain/twin boundaries and nano-particles with dark-field (white atom) type contrast. Ranger is available for free download for academic / non-commercial use. Probe Viewer 0D is a STEM probe simulation code for the generation of three-dimensional STEM optical transfer functions (OTFs). It incorporates options for both round and non-round aberrations (up to fifth order), chromatic aberration as well as the effects of finite source size. Probe Viewer 0D can be used to predict the focal-range needed during the acquisition of STEM focal-series intended for reconstruction with the Chrysalis STEM FSR algorithm. Probe Viewer 0D is available for free download for academic / non-commercial use. Below you can view the institutions that use some of these image processing tools. Hawkeye is a package dedicated to scrutinising high resolution STEM images. The main use of the present version is the accurate, quantitative measurement of the image resolution, signal to noise ratio (SNR), and signal to background ratio (SBR). Additional functionalities are currently under development including, resolution asymmetry and inter-peak dip. Hawkeye has proved invaluable in quantifying the performance of various other image processing tools. Chrysalis is a package of codes which performs the ADF STEM focal series reconstruction described in the current work pages. In addition to improving the resolution of such images, by drawing on image information usually lost when capturing only a single image, Chrysalis also improves the signal to noise ratio by up to a factor of ten times that of the raw data. Both a manuscript and presentation which include additional details were presented at EMAG 0000 and are available here.

Home Kyla Camille Nievera Why is It Better to Hire Equipment, Rather than Buy It? Running a business requires investing money smartly. Having this in mind, equipment seems like a logical place to put your money in, right? Well, not really. While you might be able to afford the newest piece of equipment right now, think about whether you will be able to do the same when that latest tech becomes yesterday's news. Count in the maintenance costs and you will see that renting equipment instead of buying it might just be the most reasonable solution. If you are still not sure about this, we will address this problem in a more detailed manner so that once you get all the pros and cons, you will be able to make that decision for yourself. Every market has its ups and downs. This especially goes for a construction business, which can be seen thriving in one moment and struggling in the very next. If you invest a lot of money in expensive equipment, the market downfall can soon become the downfall of your entire business, leaving you in debt and without constant income. Renting equipment, on the other hand, will mean that there are no strings pulling you down when things go wrong. You always have the option of returning the equipment and renting it again when the demand is up again. One of the biggest problems in industries that use a lot of machinery is keeping up with the constant innovations in technology. Tools, machinery and equipment are updated on a regular basis, and while some corporate giants can afford to keep track of all of those changes, this can prove to be a daunting task for small businesses. Fortunately, rental companies are always offering the newest models, and it is a wiser choice to hire a piece of equipment than to buy a new one every few seasons. Saving on additional costs for storing unused machines, tools and equipment in a place that is safe from the elements and intrusions is another major benefit of renting over buying equipment. Although initially it may not seem so, this may take up a huge chunk of your budget. In most cases, renting a warehouse is just the tip of the iceberg. Where's the security guard paycheck? The surveillance cameras... the electricity costs... the transport... And while some pieces of equipment, like a compactor and a dozer can be stored outside, more delicate machines like a scissor lift are always stored indoors, which makes them perfect candidates for renting. Besides storage, equipment requires maintenance which also has its price. Not only does every machine require regular maintenance but also checkups, and depending on how well you are doing the first one, that can be a small or a big expense. If the machine suffers a malfunction or a damage, that can turn into a whole chain of repairs. Renting equipment rids you of these worries. Besides these obvious savings, you will make a bunch of small ones which will really make a difference when they pile up. First, you'll forgo the upfront investment, but that's not all. Second, you will not have to worry about gigantic taxes on machines, since rental expenses are often considered as project expenses, and sometimes they even have a type of tax-deduction benefit. Finally, if you rent equipment you will still maintain a strong borrowing power since banks look at the rented equipment in one way and at purchased one in a completely another way. Thinking in terms of assets, this means that a dated or malfunctioned machine could weaken your overall financial balance. If the very thought of a major capital-equipment buy makes you anxious, you are not the only one. Most machines cost a lot of money, and have to be maintained, used, stored and serviced. Equipment ownership requires keeping track of warranties, making decisions regarding service, considering eventual sale and disposal. All of these things make a long-term obligation not everyone is willing to commit to. To summarize, renting equipment is simply easier than buying it. It saves you a lot of money, rids you of many worries and helps you stay competitive in your branch.

On 00 September 0000, the Second Battalion, 0th Marines attempted to cross Guadalcanal's Matanikau River as part of an offensive aimed at Japanese forces west of the Marine perimeter. Company F managed to cross the sandbar at the river's mouth, but were stopped by heavy fire from the opposite bank and withdrew with heavy casualties. PFC William Duckworth was killed during the day's action. His remains, along with those of two other Marines, were buried 000 yards east of the river. Subsequent fighting made the location impossible to find after the war. This was my grandmother's brother. She never got over the loss of Bill. I dont think this date of birth is correct, however. Laura, you're quite right - I sent you an email regarding this correction. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Further Description of Sighting: I was standing on a deck early evening and notices lights in the eastern sky. The only reason it kept my attention is because it was traveling so fast. I can not remember if it was one or more objects. Then, it stopped for a while and seemed to be hovering. Which I thought was really odd but because of the distance I wasn't sure so kept watching. This was high in the sky and at a great distance away so I didn't see shapes or anything but what made me feel like I saw a UFO is that once it began to move it appeared to go practically straight up like a bat out of hell. Im no physics expert but the way the object departed at an angle that did not seem consistent with modern aircraft as I understand them. Until the day I die I'm convinced I saw either one of mankind's fastest, most advanced plane or something from another planet. This is coming from a guy that grew up in San Diego near Mira mar air station where military planes come and go at all hours. Further Description of Sighting: Object hovered in the sky in one location (above Petsmart)for minutes then traveled north about a half mile and hovered (above Maplewood Mall)for 00+ minutes. Size(s) of UFO(s): as wide as a lane of traffic 00 ft? Further Description of Sighting: We were on our way home to Cotton from Menahga and had just gone past Walker. This thing was coming toward us in the oncoming traffic, leading the parade, so to speak. Can't tell if it was on the ground or just above the ground. I thought huge toy, right away, but it was going with the traffic at about 00 mph. My husband saw it too! There were lots of cars behind it going in the same direction. I thought it must be some exhibit for the "Moon Days" celebration which is an annual event at Walker. When I got home, I looked it up but Moon Days was over with. I don't know what it was. A toy wouldn't have gone that fast. There were no glass windows, but around the black dome there were black indentations. I looked up UFO sightings and there was one very similar of a small, copper colored disk with a black dome seen on the ground in South Africa many years ago. Have you heard of such a thing? Another strange thing that I didn't see, but that my son did, was what appeared to be a huge, Boeing 000 hovering above the tree tops in Brainerd, Minnesota a couple years ago. He and his family had seen it and he turned around and went back and parked the car to get a better look! Nobody else paid any attention. Nobody else stopped to look at it. It made no noise! It appeared to be a huge balloon and it was close enough he could see the rivets! Has anybody heard of anything like this, before? Size(s) of UFO(s): Not very large, but they were glowing white. Color(s) of UFO(s): Bright white, like a halogen light today. Distance of UFO(s) in sky: About 0000′ over the lake. Direction of Travel for UFO(s): High speed horizontal drop at a slight angle. Further Description of Sighting: My girlfriend & I(high school) had just arrived at a cabin party on Big Kandiyohi Lake in the summer of 0000. The cabin was crowded, so we decided to sit on the outside steps facing the lake. Almost right away we both saw a super bright white light dropping at a high speed out of the sky. It stopped about a 0000′ above the water and then another light came down and stopped parallel with the 0st. one. They sat there about 0 seconds and then took off together over the horizon. They disappeared in about 0 seconds. When we first saw the light we thought it was a meteor, but there was no trailing edge + meteor's don't stop in midair and then take off again. Date of Event: 0/0000 at 0:00 a.m.

It's been three months since we have moved into our Airstream. THREE WHOLE MONTHS. Can you believe that? There have been no suspicious murders. We are still married, and we are not moving out just yet. Life is good. Naturally, I had some hesitations about just putting our life into storage and moving into an Airstream (who wouldn't?), but the other alternative was to start house shopping in Houston which I am not emotionally ready to do yet. In choosing the former option, I am at least able to experiment with a tiny and more mobile lifestyle I've secretly coveted since the purchase of our first RV last year, and I am thrilled that we did. I have gained so much more, more sanity, more time, more freedom and more experiences in the past three months than I have in the entire year and a half we've been down here. Worth it is an understatement. There are specific improvements I am after in my life right now, and in three months I can say I have certainly gained three of them. In three months I've already gained more time, freedom and clarity. I can't believe how much I am able to do without the weight of a house, stuff, errands, chores, and all the typical baggage of adult life. I'm not saying they are non-existent (we aren't on permanent vacation here, we live and work in Houston like normal people) but it is true that as you go tiny, these get smaller. Very true. 000% Gospel, guys. Freedom. This, all of this. The freedom of living in an Airstream even if maybe like us you have to maintain a home base is incredible. I'm almost at a loss for words on this one. I'll never forget the first weekend trip we took after moving in, and I just watched the Houston skyline drift from my view thinking about the great weekend ahead that I didn't have to pack for, that I could chase on a whim because my life is encapsulated in this tiny house behind us on wheels. I want to check out a festival in Austin, hike Hill Country, see friends in Mobile, have margaritas in San Antonio, grab beignets in New Orleans we hitch up, and we are out. I am not thinking about the lawn that has to be mowed, the mulch that needs to be ordered, the garage that needs to be cleaned, none of that. I am sure I will be eventually, but for now, I don't want to. Ryan's job has caused us to move a considerable amount, and honestly, I don't want to be weighed down like that until I've experienced what our new state has to offer. Every move has been worth it, and Ryan has gained so much, but his flexibility on agreeing to this tiny life means I'm getting what I want out of these moves too, and it seems to be a fair trade because we are having so much fun traveling more as a family. Clarity. Removing all the restrictions and weight of a conventional lifestyle and replacing that with time and freedom was like ripping blinders off. While you don't necessarily have to move into an RV or a tiny home to do this I cannot advise strongly enough on implementing a routine or degree of minimalism into your life to help you see where changes, improvements or adjustments need to be made. I had more time to think, explore and do and I realized that between work, life, family, motherhood, marriage and EVERYTHING else I was over scheduled, overworked and overextended. With more time to do things that I enjoy my real talents took center-stage again, getting noticed and sending more opportunities my way that align with the person I want to be and the career that I want to have. By regaining clarity into MY life I was able to make some changes with minimal risk and fear. Let's just say some things made the cut and other things didn't. By embracing minimalism through Airstream living and travel I was able to do more than wipe the slate clean, I was able to rebuild during a time in my life when I really needed to. If I've learned anything in the past three months that I will not only remind myself but impart onto you my dear friends is that no matter how awesome your life may be, how bad your life may be or anything in between never feel afraid to press that reset button and chase what you know is right for you. Sounds like y'all are hitting your groove! I'm glad to hear Airstream life is treating you well and that you're getting good things out of it. Taking the opposite approach, I bought a house! With this move, I fully intend to downsize; I've segregated lots of stuff that won't make the move, thrown away tons, and plan to get rid of more as I unpack (I know, but I've always had a bad habit of moving stuff, then getting rid of it). That's great! Congratulations! Home ownership is amazing! We look to do that (fingers crossed in Houston) and I know after this experience I'll definitely be bringing some minimalism into that lifestyle too! Enjoyed your blog as always. Our rv adventures ended in 0000 and I am still in minimalist lifestyle. My 000 sq ft mobile home is even more room than I need. The rv park models you see in campgrounds would be ideal but I am finding it is more expensive for rent in a campground or rv resort than in a regular 00+ mobile home park. Go figure! So glad you are enjoying those moments. Spent Labor Day weekend with Josh, Diana and Arden in Maine. That young lady has some energy. Oh Arden! She is so energetic! I think I will always stick with minimalism now. It's been good for me and I'm glad to hear you've stuck with it too!

Two trends to watch this year in big data. What does "big data" mean to your organization? Although the expression itself has been part of our industry's buzz for years, I still find that in conversations with business and data professionals, responses frequently begin with false starts, head scratches, and sometimes a pass, turning it back with "Well, what do you think it means?" Some even shy away from using the expression; a data architect at a healthcare provider told me that "There's no way we will ever have big data," even as he described the firm's startling diversity in data types. Another professional, a VP of IT at a retail organization, said she avoids the term because "upper management gets too excited" and apparently loses the ability to have a rational conversation about technology strategy. The meaning of "big data" remains hard to pin down, and perhaps this will always be so because it describes what lies beyond the known limits of an organization's information technology implementations. Why are the limits there? It could be due to inadequacies in technology, skill sets, funding, data architecture, all of the above, or even none of the above. Often, one of the biggest barriers is business leaders' inability to wrap their minds around the significance of big data to their organization's current objectives, business models, customer relationships, or their bottom line. Despite the unending proliferation of books, magazines articles, movies (e.g., "Moneyball"), and other media devoted to big data topics, many business executives remain confused. In a conversation struck up at an airport recently, a business executive from a trucking firm rather rhetorically asked me, "Since we are not in the information business, why should I care about 'big data'?" His question prompted an interesting discussion, but as he drained his beer and headed off to the plane, he still seemed mystified by all the attention paid to big data. Thus, to the familiar three "Vs" of big data discussions (volume, variety, and velocity), it is important to add a fourth: value. How will big data enable the organization to do more than it does now, in such a significant way that investment in technology and practices is merited? Can business and technology professionals together articulate the value of such investment? Finding answers to these questions is not easy, but they are vital to sustaining interest and reaching the objectives of big data technology investment. "Big Data Tipping Point" is the theme of the next TDWI World Conference, to be held May 0-00 in Chicago. In the conference's keynotes and educational sessions, connecting technology practices to the business value of big data will be a cornerstone topic. Monday's keynote, "Preparing for the Practical Realities of Big Data," will be delivered by Ken Rudin, head of analytics at Facebook. Ken's extensive experience at the leading edge in databases, data mining, and analytics enables him to articulate well the business value of establishing a "proactive, data-driven culture," as he describes it. Sessions during the rest of the week by a variety of experts will address critical technology issues such as Hadoop and how to integrate analytic platforms with the rest of the data architecture as well as how to describe, in human terms, the potential of big data to the business. Briefly, here are two trends to watch in big data, which will be part of the discussion in sessions and networking events throughout the week in Chicago. One of the dominant themes this year among analytic database and data warehouse providers is the development of a comprehensive, "unified" data architecture that brings it all together: Hadoop, in-memory systems, data virtualization, data warehouses, and more. Many vendors are referencing Gartner analysts' recent definition of a "logical data warehouse" that "combines the strengths of traditional repository warehouses with alternative data management and access strategy." To paraphrase the futurist Raymond Kurzweil, is "the unity" near? Experts at the TDWI World Conference will provide a clear sense of how far we've come and how far we have to go. "Agility" in development methods for business intelligence and data warehousing systems is a hot topic. Organizations need to reduce delays and improve productivity in development without paying a price in quality. The TDWI World Conference will feature expert sessions on agile methods. A major driver behind agile implementation is the need to meet "shorter decision cycles"; TDWI Research finds that this is one of the most disruptive challenges facing BI and data warehouse architects. It is fueling interest as well in technologies for decision management, operational intelligence, and complex event processing. In Chicago, experts will be discussing how to improve agility with new technologies and methods to meet the demands of shorter decision cycles. There are more than two trends to name but for now I will stop there. We look forward to seeing everyone in Chicago as TDWI devotes attention to big data and how to align technologies with business objectives. Keep an eye on the tweets (on Twitter, #TDWI), blogs, and more discussion the event will generate. If nothing else, the insights may come in handy at the airport if you find yourself in conversation with an executive who doesn't believe he's in the "information" business.

Suitable for zero-turn commercial mowers, MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF airless radial caster tire-wheel assembly replaces standard 00x0.0x0 front caster tire. Designed specifically for landscape professionals, wheels are fabricated from high-strength poly-resin spokes. Casters come with durable, poly-resin tread that absorbs impact and reduces bounce for improved operator comfort while consistently maintaining uniform cut. At the 0000 Green Industry and Equipment Expo (GIE) today, Michelin Tweel Technologies previewed its newest extension of the X® TWEEL® line, the MICHELIN® X® TWEEL® TURF Caster for select zero-turn commercial mowers. The first-of-its-kind airless radial caster tire-wheel assembly replaces the standard 00X0.0X0 front caster tire and wheel on zero-turn mowers. The MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF eliminates downtime from punctures and is maintenance free. The MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF Caster is expected to be commercially available in early 0000. Michelin Tweel Technologies introduced the MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF 00X00N00 at GIE in 0000 in partnership with John Deere. "The X TWEEL TURF has been a tremendous success, offering customers unique benefits exclusively available with this innovative technology," said Jack Olney, director of sales for Michelin Tweel Technologies. "Extending the line with the new caster product is a direct response to customer demands for TWEEL® performance in front and rear positions on the zero-turn mower." Because the X TWEEL TURF caster has no air, it cannot go flat and it eliminates the need to maintain air pressure. The TWEEL caster is constructed with high-strength poly-resin spokes that carry the load and create suspension-like characteristics for the front of the mower. This structure absorbs impact and reduces bounce for improved operator comfort while also maintaining a consistent height for a uniform cut. The caster's durable, poly-resin tread also provides long wear life. Attendees of the GIE + Expo 0000 in Louisville this week can visit booth #0000 (B Wing of the Kentucky Expo Center) for a an exclusive "sneak peek" at the MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF caster, as well as its larger siblings in the expanding TWEEL® line, the MICHELIN® X® TWEEL® TURF 00X00N00 and the MICHELIN® X® TWEEL® SSL, now available in two sizes for skid steer machines. To learn more about MICHELIN X TWEEL Airless Radial Tires, visit www.michelintweel.com. Dedicated to the improvement of sustainable mobility, Michelin designs, manufactures and sells tires for every type of vehicle, including airplanes, automobiles, bicycles, earth movers, farm equipment, heavy-duty trucks and motorcycles. The company has earned a long-standing reputation for building innovative premium tires. Since 0000, Michelin has received 00 J.D. Power tire customer satisfaction awards - five times the number of all other tire manufacturers combined. In addition to tires, the company also publishes travel guides, hotel and restaurant guides, maps and road atlases.Headquartered in Greenville, S.C., Michelin North America(www.michelinman.com) employs about 00,000 and operates 00 major manufacturing plants.

To recap, the right data preparation solution for modern analytics is highly "able" - able to be used by any level of data consumer, from casual business analyst to IT developer. The ETL process is able to receive input from any source and output transformed data to an analytic data model. It must be architected for modern multi-tenant cloud use, with appropriate user interfaces for both business and IT audiences. Importantly, the data prep process must be able to support users' insatiable demand for data, placing no limits on data volume, source complexity or user counts. The diagram below illustrates the interconnected nature of the capabilities that, collectively, form the hallmark of a highly "able" modern data preparation tool. Let's dive deeper into each capability, to explore exactly what it comprises. Approachable: The solution needs to be appropriate for the job role. For business end users, that translates into an easy-to-use graphical interface (GUI). In addition to the GUI, developers can also access a programming interface. Ease of use has always been an important trade-off between ETL tools and data prep tools. ETL tools have a developer focus and a long learning curve. Data prep tools, while easy to use, often have reduced functionality. Within the Birst solution family, there is a user-friendly experience designed for business end users and a more powerful, feature-rich experience designed for developers. Data prep development can easily switch between the two. Accessible: The solution should be browser based, to leverage the skills most business users have. Access via browser puts the power of data preparation in the hands of those who need it and eliminates the expensive tedium of desktop installs, patches, upgrades and security.This is a significant improvement over enterprise ETL tools, which tend to have desktop GUIs and require server installations, and data prep tools, which generally require desktop installations. The Birst solution is browser-based, regardless of location of source or target data, and no desktop or server installation is required. Programmable: The solution should not be limited to the GUI's built-in transforms, because complex data transformations often require greater functionality. The solution is a programming interface, which enables any manner of transformation to be created. Enterprise ETL tools are very programmable but put an additional burden on IT organizations. Desktop data prep tools are generally limited to pre-built transforms only. With Birst, both graphical transformations and programming are possible. Birst Pronto transforms enable drag-and-drop data transformation, and a Birst Custom transform object enables any transform to be scripted. Scalable: The tool should support unlimited scalability, with no limits on data volumes (either input or output), the number of data sources or the number of transformations.Complex enterprise ETL tools are generally very scalable but desktop data prep tools are limited by desktop resources. Because it is built for the cloud, Birst places no limits on data input volume, data output volume, data sources or number of transforms. Flexible: The data prep tool should be flexible, supporting multiple input and output options, and easily react to data source changes. Enterprise ETL tools have significant flexibility. Conversely, desktop data prep tools generally have fewer connectivity and input/output options. With Birst, flexibility is fundamental. The Birst solution connects to any data source, in any location. It can output relational or file outputs to any target. Birst is also built for change, automatically integrating new attributes and measures to enable, in turn, rapid integration of new data sources. Repeatable: The tool should allow for full automation of the entire data preparation process (source, integration and preparation, output), with no manual intervention required. Cumbersome enterprise ETL tools have robust scheduling capabilities, but desktop data prep tools often have no built-in scheduling. Birst enables every step in the data preparation process to be automated via scheduling and/or triggering. Automation can be driven either by Birst's built-in scheduler or piloted by any enterprise scheduling tool. Extensible: Data preparation should not be limited to what a single tool can do. It is essential that the data preparation process be extensible to a "network" of services. The Birst solution can leverage external data preparation technologies. For example, scripts written in the R programming language can be integrated into Birst data preparation routines. Birst has taken a carefully considered approach in developing data preparation tools for today's data analytics users. To find out more about why Birst is far better "able" to meet the needs of data-driven enterprises, visit us on the web and follow Birst, an Infor company, on Twitter @BirstBI.

On June 00, 0000, the Argentine executive branch enacted decree 000/0000 (the New Decree), easing certain restrictions imposed under existing law on the acquisition and leasing of rural lands by foreign individuals and legal entities (Law No. 00,000, enacted in 0000 by the former administration, hereinafter, the Rural Land Law). The New Decree reaffirms the decision of the elected Argentine president, Mauricio Macri, to repeal existing barriers restricting foreign investment. The Argentine government has made significant economic changes since President Macri began his term in December 0000, including an end to currency controls, new tax cuts, and the settlement of the sovereign debt dispute with holdouts after a 00-year litigation. New investment promotion programs also are in place, including investment incentives in sectors such as renewable energies and the timber industry.

There was a boy in far-away Brazil who played with his friends the game of "Pigeon Flies." In this pastime the boy who is "it" calls out "pigeon flies," or "bat flies," and the others raise their fingers; but if he should call "fox flies," and one of his mates should raise his hand, that boy would have to pay a forfeit. The Brazilian boy, however, insisted on raising his finger when the catchwords "man flies" were called, and firmly protested against paying a forfeit. Alberto Santos-Dumont, even in those early days, was sure that if man did not fly then he would some day. Many an imaginative boy with a mechanical turn of mind has dreamed and planned wonderful machines that would carry him triumphantly over the tree-tops, and when the tug of the kite-string has been felt has wished that it would pull him up in the air and carry him soaring among the clouds. Santos-Dumont was just such a boy, and he spent much time in setting miniature balloons afloat, and in launching tiny air-ships actuated by twisted rubber bands. But he never outgrew this interest in overhead sailing, and his dreams turned into practical working inventions that enabled him to do what never a mortal man had done before - that is, move about at will in the air. Perhaps it was the clear blue sky of his native land, and the dense, almost impenetrable thickets below, as Santos-Dumont himself has suggested, that made him think how fine it would be to float in the air above the tangle, where neither rough ground nor wide streams could hinder. At any rate, the thought came into the boy's mind when he was very small, and it stuck there. His father owned great plantations and many miles of railroad in Brazil, and the boy grew up in the atmosphere of ponderous machinery and puffing locomotives. By the time Santos-Dumont was ten years old he had learned enough about mechanics to control the engines of his father's railroads and handle the machinery in the factories. The boy had a natural bent for mechanics and mathematics, and possessed a cool courage that made him appear almost phlegmatic. Besides his inherited aptitude for mechanics, his father, who was an engineer of the Central School of Arts and Manufactures of Paris, gave him much useful instruction. Like Marconi, Santos-Dumont had many advantages, and also, like the inventor of wireless telegraphy, he had the high intelligence and determination to win success in spite of many discouragements. Like an explorer in a strange land, Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in his work, each trial being different from any other, though the means in themselves were familiar enough. The boy Santos-Dumont dreamed air-ships, planned air-ships, and read about aerial navigation, until he was possessed with the idea that he must build an air-ship for himself. He set his face toward France, the land of aerial navigation and the country where light motors had been most highly developed for automobiles. The same year, 0000, when he was twenty-four years old, he, with M. Machuron, made his first ascent in a spherical balloon, the only kind in existence at that time. He has described that first ascension with an enthusiasm that proclaims him a devotee of the science for all time. His first ascension was full of incident: a storm was encountered; the clouds spread themselves between them and the map-like earth, so that nothing could be seen except the white, billowy masses of vapour shining in the sun; some difficulty was experienced in getting down, for the air currents were blowing upward and carried the balloon with them; the tree-tops finally caught them, but they escaped by throwing out ballast, and finally landed in an open place, and watched the dying balloon as it convulsively gasped out its last breath of escaping gas. After a few trips with an experienced aeronaut, Santos-Dumont determined to go alone into the regions above the clouds. This was the first of a series of ascensions in his own balloon. It was made of very light silk, which he could pack in a valise and carry easily back to Paris from his landing point. In all kinds of weather this determined sky navigator went aloft; in wind, rain, and sunshine he studied the atmospheric conditions, air currents, and the action of his balloon. The young Brazilian ascended thirty times in spherical balloons before he attempted any work on an elongated shape. He realised that many things must be learned before he could handle successfully the much more delicate and sensitive elongated gas-bag. In general, Santos-Dumont worked on the theory of the dirigible balloon - that is, one that might be controlled and made to go in any direction desired, by means of a motor and propeller carried by a buoyant gas-bag. His plan was to build a balloon, cigar-shaped, of sufficient capacity to a little more than lift his machinery and himself, this extra lifting power to be balanced by ballast, so that the balloon and the weight it carried would practically equal the weight of air it displaced. The push of the revolving propeller would be depended upon to move the whole air-ship up or down or forward, just as the motion of a fish's fins and tail move it up, down, forward, or back, its weight being nearly the same as the water it displaces. The theory seems so simple that it strikes one as strange that the problem of aerial navigation was not solved long ago. The story of Santos-Dumont's experiments, however, his adventures and his successes, will show that the problem was not so simple as it seemed. Santos-Dumont was built to jockey a Pegasus or guide an air-ship, for he weighed but a hundred pounds when he made his first ascensions, and added very little live ballast as he grew older. Weight, of course, was the great bugbear of every air-ship inventor, and the chief problem was to provide a motor light enough to furnish sufficient power for driving a balloon that had sufficient lifting capacity to support it and the aeronaut in the air. Steam-engines had been tried, but found too heavy for the power generated; electric motors had been tested, and proved entirely out of the question for the same reason. Santos-Dumont has been very fortunate in this respect, his success, indeed, being largely due to the compact and powerful gasoline motors that have been developed for use on automobiles. Even before the balloon for the first air-ship was ordered the young Brazilian experimented with his three-and-one-half horse-power gasoline motor in every possible way, adding to its power, and reducing its weight until he had cut it down to sixty-six pounds, or a little less than twenty pounds to a horse-power. Putting the little motor on a tricycle, he led the procession of powerful automobiles in the Paris-Amsterdam race for some distance, proving its power and speed. The motor tested to his satisfaction, Santos-Dumont ordered his balloon of the famous maker, Lachambre, and while it was building he experimented still further with his little engine. To the horizontal shaft of his motor he attached a propeller made of silk stretched tightly over a light wooden framework. The motor was secured to the aeronaut's basket behind, and the reservoir of gasoline hung to the basket in front. All this was done and tested before the balloon was finished - in fact, the aeronaut hung himself up in his basket from the roof of his workshop and started his motor to find out how much pushing power it exerted and if everything worked satisfactorily. On September 00, 0000, Santos-Dumont made his first ascension in his first air-ship - in fact, he had never tried to operate an elongated balloon before, and so much of this first experience was absolutely new. Imagine a great bag of yellow oiled silk, cigar-shaped, fully inflated with hydrogen gas, but swaying in the morning breeze, and tugging at its restraining ropes: a vast bubble eighty-two feet long, and twelve feel in diameter at its greatest girth. Such was the balloon of Santos-Dumont's first air-ship. Suspended by cords from the great gas-bag was the basket, to which was attached the motor and six-foot propeller, hung sixteen feet below the belly of the great air-fish. Many friends and curiosity seekers had assembled to see the aeronaut make his first foolhardy attempt, as they called it. Never before had a spark-spitting motor been hung under a great reservoir of highly inflammable hydrogen gas, and most of the group thought the daring inventor would never see another sunset. Santos-Dumont moved around his suspended air-ship, testing a cord here and a connection there, for he well knew that his life might depend on such a small thing as a length of twine or a slender rod. At one side of a small open space on the outskirts of Paris the long, yellow balloon tugged at its fastenings, while the navigator made his final round to see that all was well. A twist of a strap around the driving-wheel set the motor going, and a moment later Santos-Dumont was standing in his basket, giving the signal to release the air-ship. It rose heavily, and travelling with the fresh wind, the propellers whirling swiftly, it crashed into the trees at the other side of the enclosure. The aeronaut had, against his better judgment, gone with the wind rather than against it, so the power of the propeller was added to the force of the breeze, and the trees were encountered before the ship could rise sufficiently to clear them. The damage was repaired, and two days later, September 00, 0000, the Brazilian started again from the same enclosure, but this time against the wind. The propeller whirled merrily, the explosions of the little motor snapped sharply as the great yellow bulk and the tiny basket with its human freight, the captain of the craft, rose slowly in the air. Santos-Dumont stood quietly in his basket, his hand on the controlling cords of the great rudder on the end of the balloon; near at hand was a bag of loose sand, while small bags of ballast were packed around his feet. Steadily she rose and began to move against the wind with the slow grace of a great bird, while the little man in the basket steered right or left, up or down, as he willed. He turned his rudder for the lateral movements, and changed his shifting bags of ballast hanging fore and aft, pulling in the after bag when he wished to point her nose down, and doing likewise with the forward ballast when he wished to ascend - the propeller pushing up or down as she was pointed. For the first time a man had actual control of an air-ship that carried him. He commanded it as a captain governs his ship, and it obeyed as a vessel answers its helm. A quarter of a mile above the heads of the pygmy crowd who watched him the little South American maneuvered his air-ship, turning circles and figure eights with and against the breeze, too busy with his rudder, his vibrating little engine, his shifting bags of ballast, and the great palpitating bag of yellow silk above him, to think of his triumph, though he could still hear faintly the shouts of his friends on earth. For a time all went well and he felt the exhilaration that no earth-travelling can ever give, as he experienced somewhat of the freedom that the birds must know when they soar through the air unfettered. As he descended to a lower, denser atmosphere he felt rather than saw that something was wrong - that there was a lack of buoyancy to his craft. The engine kept on with its rapid "phut, phut, phut" steadily, but the air-ship was sinking much more rapidly than it should. Looking up, the aeronaut saw that his long gas-bag was beginning to crease in the middle and was getting flabby, the cords from the ends of the long balloon were beginning to sag, and threatened to catch in the propeller. The earth seemed to be leaping up toward him and destruction stared him in the face. A hand air-pump was provided to fill an air balloon inside the larger one and so make up for the compression of the hydrogen gas caused by the denser, lower atmosphere. He started this pump, but it proved too small, and as the gas was compressed more and more, and the flabbiness of the balloon increased, the whole thing became unmanageable. The great ship dropped and dropped through the air, while the aeronaut, no longer in control of his ship, but controlled by it, worked at the pump and threw out ballast in a vain endeavour to escape the inevitable. He was descending directly over the greensward in the centre of the Longchamps race-course, when he caught sight of some boys flying kites in the open space. He shouted to them to take hold of his trailing guide-rope and run with it against the wind. They understood at once and as instantly obeyed. The wind had the same effect on the air-ship as it has on a kite when one runs with it, and the speed of the fall was checked. Man and air-ship landed with a thud that smashed almost everything but the man. The smart boys that had saved Santos-Dumont's life helped him pack what was left of "Santos-Dumont No. 0" into its basket, and a cab took inventor and invention back to Paris. In spite of the narrow escape and the discouraging ending of his first flight, Santos-Dumont launched his second air-ship the following May. Number 0 was slightly larger than the first, and the fault that was dangerous in it was corrected, its inventor thought, by a ventilator connecting the inner bag with the outer air, which was designed to compensate for the contraction of the gas and keep the skin of the balloon taut. But No. 0 doubled up as had No. 0, while she was still held captive by a line; falling into a tree hurt the balloon, but the aeronaut escaped unscratched. Santos-Dumont, in spite of his quiet ways and almost effeminate speech, his diminutive body, and wealth that permitted him to enjoy every luxury, persisted in his work with rare courage and determination. The difficulties were great and the available information meager to the last degree. The young inventor had to experiment and find out for himself the obstacles to success and then invent ways to surmount them. He had need of ample wealth, for the building of air-ships was expensive business. The balloons were made of the finest, lightest Japanese silk, carefully prepared and still more vigorously tested. They were made by the most famous of the world's balloon-makers, Lachambre, and required the spending of money unstintedly. The motors cost according to their lightness rather than their weight, and all the materials, cordage, metal-work, etc., were expensive for the same reason. The cost of the hydrogen gas was very great also, at twenty cents per cubic meter (thirty-five cubic feet); and as at each ascension all the gas was usually lost, the expense of each sail in the air for gas alone amounted to from $00 for the smallest ship to $000 for the largest. Nevertheless, in November of 0000 Santos-Dumont launched another air-ship - No. 0. This one was supported by a balloon of much greater diameter, though the length remained about the same - sixty-six feet. The capacity, however, was almost three times as great as No. 0, being 00,000 cubic feet. The balloon was so much larger that the less expensive but heavier illuminating gas could be used instead of hydrogen. When the air-ship "Santos-Dumont No. 0" collapsed and dumped its navigator into the trees, Santos-Dumont's friends took it upon themselves to stop his dangerous experimenting, but he said nothing, and straightway set to work to plan a new machine. It was characteristic of the man that to him the danger, the expense, and the discouragements counted not at all. In the afternoon of November 00, 0000, Santos-Dumont started on his first flight in No. 0. The wind was blowing hard, and for a time the great bulk of the balloon made little headway against it; 000 feet in air it hung poised almost motionless, the winglike propeller whirling rapidly. Then slowly the great balloon began nosing its way into the wind, and the plucky little man, all alone, beyond the reach of any human voice, could not tell his joy, although the feeling of triumph was strong within him. Far below him, looking like two-legged hats, so foreshortened they were from the aeronaut's point of view, were the people of Paris, while in front loomed the tall steel spire of the Eiffel Tower. To sail round that tower even as the birds float about had been the dream of the young aeronaut since his first ascension. The motor was running smoothly, the balloon skin was taut, and everything was working well; pulling the rudder slightly, Santos-Dumont headed directly for the great steel shaft. The people who were on the Eiffel Tower that breezy afternoon saw a sight that never a man saw before. Out of the haze a yellow shape loomed larger each minute until its outlines could be distinctly seen. It was a big cigar-shaped balloon, and under it, swung by what seemed gossamer threads, was a basket in which was a man. The air-ship was going against the wind, and the man in the basket evidently had full control, for the amazed people on the tower saw the air-ship turn right and left as her navigator pulled the rudder-cords, and she rose and fell as her master regulated his shifting ballast. For twenty minutes Santos-Dumont maneuvered around the tower as a sailboat tacks around a buoy. While the people on that tall spire were still watching, the aeronaut turned his ship around and sailed off for the Longchamps race-course, the green oval of which could be just distinguished in the distance. On the exact spot where, a little more than a year before, the same man almost lost his life and wrecked his first air-ship, No. 0 landed as softly and neatly as a bird. Though he made many other successful flights, he discovered so many improvements that with the first small mishap he abandoned No. 0 and began on No. 0. The balloon "Santos-Dumont No. 0" was long and slim, and had an inner air-bag to compensate for the contraction of the hydrogen gas. This air-ship had one feature that was entirely new; the aeronaut had arranged for himself, not a secure basket to stand in, but a frail, unprotected bicycle seat attached to an ordinary bicycle frame. The cranks were connected with the starting-gear of the motor. Seated on his unguarded bicycle seat, and holding on to the handle-bars, to which were attached the rudder-cords, Santos-Dumont made voyages in the air with all the assurance of the sailor on the sea. But No. 0 was soon too imperfect for the exacting Brazilian, and in April, 0000, he had finished No. 0. This air-cruiser was the longest of all (000 feet), and was fitted with a sixteen horse-power motor. Instead of the bicycle frame, he built a triangular keel of pine strips and strengthened it with tightly strung piano wires, the whole frame, though sixty feet long, weighing but 000 pounds. Hung between the rods, being suspended by piano wires as in a spider-web, was the motor, basket, and propeller-shaft. The last-named air-ship was built, if not expressly at least with the intention of trying for the Deutsch Prize of 000,000 francs. This was a big undertaking, and many people thought it would never be accomplished; the successful aeronaut had to travel more than three miles in one direction, round the Eiffel Tower as a racing yacht rounds a stake-boat, and return to the starting point, all within thirty minutes - i.e., almost seven miles in two directions in half an hour. The new machine worked well, though at one time the aerial navigator's friends thought that they would have to pick him up in pieces and carry him home in a basket. This incident occurred during one of the first flights in No. 0. Everything was going smoothly, and the air-ship circled like a hawk, when the spectators, who were craning their necks to see, noticed that something was wrong; the motor slowed down, the propeller spun less swiftly, and the whole fabric began to sink toward the ground. While the people gazed, their hearts in their mouths, they saw Santos-Dumont scramble out of his basket and crawl out on the framework, while the balloon swayed in the air. He calmly knotted the cord that had parted and crept back to his place, as unconcernedly as if he were on solid ground. It was in August of 0000 that he made his first official trial for the Deutsch Prize. The start was perfect, and the machine swooped toward the distant tower straight as a crow flies and almost as fast. The first half of the distance was covered in nine minutes, so twenty-one minutes remained for the balance of the journey: success seemed assured; the prize was almost within the grasp of the aeronaut. Of a sudden assured success was changed to dire peril; the automatic valves began to leak, the balloon to sag, the cords supporting the wooden keel hung low, and before Santos-Dumont could stop the motor the propeller had cut them and the whole system was threatened. The wind was drifting the air-ship toward the Eiffel Tower; the navigator had lost control; 000 feet below were the roofs of the Trocadero Hotels; he had to decide which was the least dangerous; there was but a moment to think. Santos-Dumont, death staring him in the face, chose the roofs. A swift jerk of a cord, and a big slit was made in the balloon. Instantly man, motor, gas-bag, and keel went tumbling down straight into the court of the hotels. The great balloon burst with a noise like an explosion, and the man was lost in a confusion of yellow-silk covering, cords, and wires. When the firemen reached the place and put down their long ladders they found him standing calmly in his wicker basket, entirely unhurt. The long, staunch keel, resting by its ends on the walls of the court, prevented him from being dashed to pieces. And so ended No. 0. Most men would have given up aerial navigation after such an experience, but Santos-Dumont could not be deterred from continuing his experiments. The night of the very day which witnessed his fearful fall and the destruction of No. 0 he ordered a new balloon for "Santos-Dumont No. 0." It showed the pluck and determination of the man as nothing else could. Twenty-two days after the aeronaut's narrow escape his new air-ship was finished and ready for a flight. No. 0 was practically the same as its predecessor - the triangular keel was retained, but an eighteen horse-power gasoline motor was substituted for the sixteen horse-power used previously. The propeller, made of silk stretched over a bamboo frame, was hung at the after end of the keel; the motor was a little aft of the centre, while the basket to which led the steering-gear, the emergency valve to the balloon, and the motor-controlling gear was suspended farther forward. To control the upward or downward pointing of the new air-ship, shifting ballast was used which ran along a wire under the keel from one end to the other; the cords controlling this ran to the basket also. The new air-ship worked well, and the experimental flights were successful with one exception - when the balloon came in contact with a tree. It was in October, 0000 (the 00th), when the Deutsch Prize Committee was asked to meet again and see a man try to drive a balloon against the wind, round the Eiffel Tower, and return. The start took place at 0:00 P.M. of October 00, 0000, with a beam wind blowing. Straight as a bullet the air-ship sped for the steel shaft of the tower, rising as she flew. On and on she sped, while the spectators, remembering the finish of the last trial, watched almost breathlessly. With the air of a cup-racer turning the stake-boat she rounded the steel spire, a run of three and three-fifth miles, in nine minutes (at the rate of more than twenty-two miles an hour), and started on the home-stretch. For a few moments all went well, then those who watched were horrified to see the propeller slow down and nearly stop, while the wind carried the air-ship toward the Tower. Just in time the motor was speeded up and the course was resumed. As the group of men watched the speck grow larger and larger until things began to take definite shape, the white blur of the whirling propeller could be seen and the small figure in the basket could be at last distinguished. Again the motor failed, the speed slackened, and the ship began to sink. Santos-Dumont threw out enough ballast to recover his equilibrium and adjusted the motor. With but three minutes left and some distance to go, the great dirigible balloon got up speed and rushed for the goal. At eleven and a half minutes past three, twenty-nine minutes and thirty-one seconds after starting, Santos-Dumont crossed the line, the winner of the Deutsch Prize. And so the young Brazilian accomplished that which had been declared impossible. The following winter the aerial navigator, in the same No. 0, sailed many times over the waters of the Mediterranean from Monte Carlo. These flights over the water, against, athwart, and with the wind, some of them faster than the attending steamboats could travel, continued until through careless inflation of the balloon the air-ship and navigator sank into the sea. Santos-Dumont was rescued without being harmed in the least, and the air-ship was preserved intact, to be exhibited later to American sightseers. "Santos-Dumont No. 0," the most successful of the series built by the determined Brazilian, looks as if it were altogether too frail to intrust with the carrying of a human being. The 000-foot-long balloon, a light yellow in colour, sways and undulates with every passing breeze. The steel piano wires by which the keel and apparatus are hung to the balloon skin are like spider-webs in lightness and delicacy, and the motor that has the strength of eighteen horses is hardly bigger than a barrel. A little forward of the motor is suspended to the keel the cigar-shaped gasoline reservoir, and strung along the top rod are the batteries which furnish the current to make the sparks for the purpose of exploding the gas in the motor. Santos-Dumont himself says that the world is still a long way from practical, everyday aerial navigation, but he points out the apparent fact that the dirigible balloon in the hands of determined men will practically put a stop to war. Henri Rochefort has said: "The day when it is established that a man can direct an air-ship in a given direction and cause it to maneuver as he wills - there will remain little for the nations to do but to lay down their arms." The man who has done so much toward the abolishing of war can rest well content with his work.

Welshman Sam Vokes scored on his 000th Premier League appearance as the Clarets secured their first ever win at the Cardiff City Stadium. Burnley last beat the Bluebirds on their own patch 00 years ago when Steve Davis and Andy Payton netted in a 0-0 win at Ninian Park. They'd only won twice in 00 attempts away at Cardiff and eight times in total from 00 fixtures but they put that record behind them to seal three vital points. For those switching over from the Ryder Cup, having experienced the exhilarating highs as Europe triumphed over the United States, they would soon be reminded that sport isn't always gripping. The first half at the Cardiff City Stadium didn't exactly live up to its billing on Sky Sports. A 'Super Sunday' it certainly wasn't. Burnley managed just one shot on goal in 00 minutes but Matej Vydra's attempt was more suited to the national sport of Wales. Even then, however, the forward's attempt would have been wide of the upright. Callum Paterson's attempt for the Bluebirds wasn't much better, either. The 00-year-old dragged the ball wide of the target after Joe Ralls had collected Ben Mee's clearance. As the Clarets struggled to get a foothold in the game, Neil Warnock's side continued to press and Joe Hart had his woodwork to thank after Josh Murphy broke in to the box from the left hand side. Burnley boss Sean Dyche was forced in to a change midway through the first half as James Tarkowski, struggling with a shoulder injury, was replaced by Kevin Long. Hart has been in fine form since joining the Clarets in the summer and the England international had to be at his best to deny Victor Camarasa at his near post after the Spaniard latched on to Paterson's pass. The home side had the ball in the back of the net with 00 minutes of the half remaining but referee Martin Atkinson pulled play back after spotting an infringement. City skipper Sean Morrison was the guilty party, climbing on the back of Long from Camarasa's corner as Zohore flicked the ball past Hart. The Bluebirds almost had their noses in front just before the break when Vokes inadvertently glanced Morrison's header in to the six yard box and Paterson's looping header was cleared off the line by Vydra. City appealed desperately for a penalty in time added on as Paterson acrobatically fired in to the arms of Matt Lowton but the cries fell on deaf ears. Viewers would have been forgiven for switching off to catch the celebrations in Paris but they would have missed Johann Berg Gudmundsson's opener. Quick thinking from Aaron Lennon caught the hosts by surprise and Ashley Westwood's cross was converted at the far post by the Icelandic winger, who had to check twice to make sure that his header had beat Neil Etheridge. Camarasa fired over on the volley as Cardiff responded and they levelled on the hour as Burnley left their dangerman unmarked. Bruno Ecuele Manga was allowed to get in behind on the right and his cross was fired back in the direction it came from by Murphy who picked out the corner. The equaliser lifted the home side and it was Murphy who continued to threaten. The winger was denied by a fine save at full stretch from Hart and then Long took the sting out of his left-footed drive which the goalkeeper collected at his near post. Burnley had been struggling to find their rhythm but they played all the right notes with 00 minutes remaining as they restored the lead. Jack Cork and Westwood kept the ball in midfield before the latter caught Sol Bamba flat-footed, lifting the ball over the top to Gudmundsson. The goalscorer then turned provider, teeing up Vokes who headed in to the far corner to make it 0-0. The hosts pressed for another equaliser but Camarasa and Murphy were both off target as the Clarets held on to record a second win in succession.

In the Norwegian context, Western Norway Research Institute was a pioneer in carrying out research on climate change adaptation. Since 0000, we have cooperated with municipalities, private and public enterprises, organizations and national authorities to ensure that climate change adaptation is conducted on a sound scientific basis. WNRI's scientific contribution is social science-based, but we work in close cooperation with climate experts in the natural sciences. Our research on local vulnerability to the consequences of climate change, we have moved into the realm of preparedness and societal security. In 0000-00, WNRI produced a collection of popular articles on various aspects of climate change adaptation for publication on the national web portal for climate change adaptation. Also, the institute has been selected in connection with a number of major calls by KS FoU in this field of research. Our key academic partners within climate change adaptation research include CICERO Center for International Climate Research, Nordland Research Institute, Nord University, The Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, The Norwegian Institute for Water Research, as well as soil researchers at The Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research. Key regional partners include The County Governor of Sogn og Fjordane, Sogn og Fjordane County Municipality, Innovation Norway - Sogn og Fjordane, KS Sogn og Fjordane, The National Public Roads Administration's Western Region, The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate's Western Region, The Norwegian Glacier Museum & Ulltveit-Moe Climate Centre, and Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL). Since 0000, this regional partnership has organized a national conference on climate adaptation.

Our antiques expert Simon Hollington, talks about what it's like to value a prized painting and offers his advice up to you. I was recently asked to value a painting for insurance purposes, and when I arrived on 00rd floor it jumped out at me and stopped me in my tracks. In this case this is clearly one of Tim Storrier's best, the artist at his peak. What was so striking was the location on the 00rd floor in an open plan office reception looking out across Sydney harbour in the visitors seating area. The natural light on the painting and the huge expanse of Sydney harbour contrasted with a kind of brilliance with the fire and sky or air - bringing all the primordial elements together in a vibrant juxtaposition. Do you own a painting and would like to know more about it? Ask Simon for an antiques valuation now.

This fall was the start of the first full school year since the change over to the new Halifax Regional Centre for Education (HRCE). To kick-off the year, the Regional Executive Director Edwin LeRoux issued one of his monthly reports highlighting and celebrating the successes of students and staff and demonstrating the implementation and the positive impact of changes to Nova Scotia's education system. There are ordinary miracles in teaching and learning happening every day in the system and these reports provide families, staff, school communities, partners, and the public, a window into HRCE classrooms by sharing stories of impact. How does Pre-Primary prepare students for school? September marked the start of phase two of the four-year Pre-Primary rollout. In the HRCE, there are currently 00 schools housing 00 Pre-Primary rooms. This includes the addition of three classes that opened in early October at Brookhouse Elementary, Fairview Junior High, and Sycamore Lane Elementary. There are 00 Pre-Primary staff members who are providing 000 children with play-based learning experiences that support young children's development. Hear from a Pre-Primary educator and a Primary teacher in this video. Congratulations to students of Basinview Drive Community School. Last year, students worked with singer/songwriter Meaghan Smith to write a school song called Everyone Belongs. All 000 students contributed to the message of the song about inclusion and celebrating differences. Check out this incredible school song. Future reports will appear on the centre's website (hrce.ca) and be shared via Twitter at @HRCE_NS and @Elwin_LeRoux. Video stories can also be found on the Centre's YouTube channel.

What makes landscape design stand out? Is it the variety of plants and grasses that cover the whole yard? Is it the fence that seems to frame the whole garden? Or is it the fountain that sits right in the middle of every plant, grass, and evergreen? The answer is not the individual element that fills up the garden but how these individual elements are combined to make a great looking landscape design. How can one achieve this? Unity or Harmony means that all the components in the design should go together as one and must express consistency and style. All the components should, therefore, fit in a theme making them work together to create a harmonious combination of colours, lines, bends, and elements. To achieve unity, repetition and mass planting can be used in the landscape design. Thus, unity or harmony brings together everything that is used in a landscape design without spoiling the practicality and compromising the beauty. A landscape design would not be complete without a focal point. A focal point gives direction to the lines and bends giving definition not only to the whole landscape design, but also to every area within the plan. There are popular landscape focal points like a big tree or a flowerbed, a pool or a pond, a fountain or artificial waterfalls. The focal point in a landscape design should direct the traffic in the garden area. Proportion refers to the size of the parts of the landscape design in respect to one another, to the landscape design as a whole, and to the property, structures, and human elements. For example, a small waterfall will be lost at the middle of a big garden with large trees and shrubs. A large oak on the other hand may not complement a one-story house. The point is, the relationship of each part should be within the reasonable size and should not dominate the presence of the others. This is another very important element that can throw off the entire plan if not used properly. There are some landscape designs that may look a bit restless and uncomfortable. This is because they lack symmetry and balance. The curves, bends and lines are tiring; the use of plants and ground overlays are inappropriate; and repetition of all the elements does not have a variety. To achieve balance, the landscape design should have a good use of line, shape, texture, form, and colour all at the same time. The repetition should vary from one area to another and the plants and ground overlays should be in tune with all the other elements of the design. A landscape design should not be overdone just to stand out from the entire neighbourhood. Simplicity is the key. Visit our Pinterest board to get inspired by some ideas we have found. I am sure you have great ideas you can share with us too.

Ready for the end of the world as we know it? The popular culture certainly is. When "Defiance" arrives Monday night on the SyFy channel and "Oblivion" hits theaters Friday, they'll land on an already busy post-apocolypse-obsessed [sic] entertainment landscape that's about to become even more crowded. . . . "Ever since the finish of the second world war when we got the glimpse of the atomic bomb there's been this sense that the world could end in the blink of an eye," said Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University. "One of the reasons it may be so resonant now is that there are so many things we hear on a daily basis that seem to say to us that the possibility of massive planetary annihilation is within the realm of think-ability." It's real life informs reel life and vice versa. Posted on April 00, 0000, in Arts & Entertainment, Society & Culture and tagged apocalypse watch, Dystopia, horror, movies, Science Fiction. Bookmark the permalink. 0 Comments. I think the move from theological/religious to realistic - if that distinction is real - is interesting. But the basic issue - the possibility that our world is not safe and that there are forces - whether political, technological or spiritual - that seek our demise... I think that is the real issue. People are slowly waking up to the fact that we're pretty much adrift in a sea of danger and threat. To me, at least, that's the interesting thing.

This is a perfect and affordable way to try restaurants that you've never been to. If you're like me, you get into a routine of going to the same restaurants all the time. My rotation could use some tweaking. This event is made for just that. The New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association is hosting the 0th Annual Restaurant Week New Hampshire Friday, March 00, through Friday, March 00, 0000. This is a wonderful opportunity for diners to expand their restaurant experience by trying new places for a discounted price. Restaurants from every region of the state are taking part in this event by offering different price levels for lunch and dinner with a specific menu. In the seacoast area, participating restaurants include Three Chimneys Inn, 000 Degrees, The Barley House, Weathervane Seafood Restaurant and Blue Moon Evolution.

God is real. He exists. I can't believe it. Why did I not see something all around me, in my face? I feel this energy flowing between everyone in this room and connecting to me as well, like electrical currents, like invisible cords. I want to jump up and down and start yelling on the top of my voice that God exists and He is right here. Only an authentic presence of God in that room could have revealed the truth of the Mystical Body of Christ to a young man. Catholic writers can also be instruments of spiritual transformation in their readers when the Holy Spirit permeates our words. Social media has taught us the power of words. One lie or the words of one bullying tweet can go viral, enraging or misleading thousands, if not millions of readers. Even truth, if expressed with arrogance can instigate similar chaos. Words matter. Tone matters. Our message can be lost when we are not prayerful disciples, writing with the heart of a servant. Decades ago, I read an insight by Jean Vanier, the founder of L'Arche, which impacted me so strongly I have never forgotten it: "You can be right. You can be dead right and bring death to everyone around you." Writers have the ability to destroy as well as the ability to educate, heal, and lift up. We must learn how to communicate and engage with our adversaries in a spirit of mutual respect because everyone is a child of God, whether they know it or not. It is God who converts and convicts; we are simply called to tell our stories and share our perspective. We must witness in love, without sinning against those who have yet to experience the joy of the Eucharist or a deep relationship with their Heavenly Mother. I would add there is only one way forward for the Catholic writer and that is to pray first and then write. But how can we listen and obey God? This three-year-old received this stuff right from the heart of God. If adults received this sort of "stuff" in prayer, they would consider it a rare gift, profound revelation. Yet this child of three simply received infused contemplative insights with ease, right from the source of all truth because she was open and relaxed in the presence of God. If a mere child can listen to God, there is hope for Catholic writers who pray, humble themselves before the Father and truly listen, expecting their Heavenly Father to give them the Bread of Life, the words of life, not stones. Initially, when I first stepped outside of my little blog to write for other sites, I wrote for secular and Protestant sites and felt I had to hide my Catholicism. When I finally wrote about my Catholic faith, I was immediately grilled and interrogated by shocked readers and co-authors. Yet God had His own agenda and through the moderator, a process of forgiveness and unity began. Of course, the site decided to simply ignore my Catholicism and centre on my love of God. When I discovered Catholic sites and was accepted as a writer, I was thrilled to finally be free to write about my faith without filters. I felt as if I was defending my faith in my territory, surrounded and protected by other Catholic writers. Sometimes Catholics view other Christians as their adversaries, rather than their separated brethren. Part of this divide is rooted in how we express ourselves. Sometimes we get lazy and slip into Church lingo, writing in a foreign language which other Christians, never mind unbelievers, do not understand. The challenge is to witness to the validity of our Catholic spirituality with a mature love, without ridiculing our Protestant brothers and sisters, using universal terms when possible. But these verses quoted arrogantly in arguments based on sophistry only served to strengthen my protestant position before I converted to Catholicism. My heart and mind were only transformed by a combination of Holy Spirit inspired books and the direct intervention of God, not by man's mental gymnastics. Protestants and the secular world desperately need to hear the perspective of Catholics on pressing issues, especially on the sanctity of human life. However, most religious authors write in a small niche, read mainly by fellow Catholics and perhaps a few other critics we would secretly love to block. However, it is Lent, a time to repent, to make a 000-degree turnaround and to start writing in sync with our Lord Jesus Christ. It is time to fulfill our Divine Mandate with joy. PrevPreviousCharitable Intention: What's Your Motive? The mere desire to write what God wants us to write, opens the door for God to surprise us. Someone once told me that most great insights and reflections do not come from ourselves but from God Himself - we give ourselves too much credit. Flawlessly put. Thank you Melanie. God bless you. I'm guilty of writing in everyone of the examples you cited. We can only attract souls to Christ with love and mercy. Vinegar on hyssop will never be received well. Too often I've offered the vinegar. I've learned that we can't put God in a box. Thanks for the reminder. Great, thought provoking and brilliant article. I am also guilty of writing defensively and without mutual respect or love. Thank goodness, God is bigger than our mistakes. My perspective is - in part - that we've got the best news humanity ever had, and specific instructions to "make disciples of all nations:" share what we have with anyone who will listen. That's no reason for feeling gloomy. Sure, a remarkable number of folks act like they don't want to listen. That's nothing new. What is new about today's world, at least my part of it, is that I can share what I know with anyone who can read my language and has an Internet connection. Back in the ‘good old days,' doing what I do would generally require getting the attention - and permission - of not-Catholic editors to get read by most folks. Or do the same with Catholic editors for the privilege of getting into ‘in-house' publications. A nitpicking quibble - - - my goal and hope is to end up in the Church Triumphant, folks who finished their tour of duty here and are with God. At the moment, I'm in - - - in my dialect, anyway - - - the Church Militant. I'm still alive, ‘working out my salvation.' And, continuing the metaphor, on the front lines. It's not entirely stress-free, but knowing that we won helps. That happened about two millennia back now, and that's almost another topic. I like the word Church Militant because it is an active, positive term. For me the Church Triumphant does not mean I think I have mead it or the Church is perfect, rather that I trust, know, believe that Christ has already won the battle against sin, evil and death by his suffering, death and Resurection on the Cross. Got it. And like I said, that was a nitpicking quibble. And "triumphant" pretty well sums it up. !

Introduction: Enigma Fishing continues to make strides in the market thanks in large part to their headline pro Aaron Martens. In the Spring of 0000, we shared with you our score of the Enigma EAM000-DS-ML-S spinning rod - a stick we found to be a good performer for the price, but one we wished had just a tad more sensitivity. Today we look at the Search For One candidate in this lineup, the EAM00MB-M casting rod. Introducing Enigma's Aaron's Edge EAM00MB-M. Impressions: The Aaron's Edge lineup within Enigma's bass series features a polarizing design - either you like them or you don't. The bright grey blanks with purple and chartreuse threadwraps and split rear hypalon grips with full foregrip are a far cry from the stylized aesthetic of Marten's former rod sponsor. Having said that, these rods are likely built to standout from the crowd, and that they do. Zander liked how the rod was not just another matte black rod, and certainly was not a "me too" styled stick. He also remarked that the color reminded him of the Ford Mustang GT000 in "Avalanche Grey," which was also designed to be striking, memorable, and simply a make no excuses color. The rod features a light grey finish down the length of the blank. Additionally, these rods are built to perform and endure the abuse typical tournament anglers impart to their gear, so let's take a look at how the EAM00MB-M performed out on the water. A look at the rod's Fuji ACS reel seat. Real World Tests: I paired the EAM00MB-M with a superttuned Shimano Chronarch E spooled with Sunline Defier Monofilament. This stuff is pricey, getting more and more difficult to source (fortunately, TackleWarehouse still carries it), but is still one of my favorite nylon monofilaments to fish. Those who cannot get over the "funky" first guide on this stick will be missing out on some fun casting performance. Casting: One area the EAM00MB-M really shines is in it's ability to help you present your bait. The rod's blank really loads well and feels smooth throughout the cast. Additionally, thanks to it's length at seven feet, three inches (0'0"), it makes for an excellent pitching stick as well. I had a fun time practicing out in the open waters of Lake Berryessa with this rod and reel combo, pitching my bait out then stripping line manually to get my jig down deep enough to get a bite (note the Chronarch E I was fishing featured upgraded bearings from HedgeHog Studio). Checking out the rod's tip action.
