Congratulations… a lovely, new kitten has become part of your family!
Kitten vaccinations are given at 9 and 12 weeks old.
We can vaccinate against cat flu, feline enteritis and feline leukaemia virus. Your requirements will be discussed with you at your appointment. There is no vaccination against the feline aids virus yet but it will be available in the near future.
We offer a free kitten check at monthly intervals following completion of your kitten’s vaccination course. Please ask for your KITTEN CLINIC appointment after second vaccination.
Booster vaccinations are recommended EVERY YEAR to keep your cat healthy. These are free to SCALLYWAGS members.
A free flea treatment will be given to your kitten at first vaccination – Join our Scallywags discount plan to enjoy ongoing free flea treatment.
Stronghold spot-on can be used from 6 weeks of age and incorporates treatment for roundworms and ear mites.
Comfortis is a monthly tablet.
Fleas can also be controlled in cats using AN INJECTION – Program is a 6-monthly injection given at the surgery. This is an excellent way to control your home environment and hence your cat.
Effipro is free to SCALLYWAGS members. Other treatments are subsidised.
Worming is advised every 2 weeks until your kitten is 12 weeks old, and then monthly until your kitten is 6 months old. Worming is advised every 3 months for adult cats.
Milpro or Panacur for worming which are available in different formulations.
Profender Spot – ons are also available at the surgery if your can is particularly difficult to worm.
An IDENTICHIP can be implanted at any age. Ofter this is done at your second vaccination appointment, neutering, or Kiten Clinic. Cats are inquisitive animals and young cats particularly can venture a little further from home that intended. The fitting of an identichip helps to return them safely home, as soon as possible.
If you join our SCALLYWAGS discount plan, it will be free!
This is called Spaying for females and Castration for males. Neutering is recommended from 4 months. Discuss any questions you might have at your Kitten Clinic appointment.
All kittens receive 10% off neutering when you take up the Kitten Pack.
SCALLYWAGS members get 10% off neutering.
Specially developed food is available from our clinic. These are dry, complete diets which are designed specifically for your cat’s requirements, i.e. growth, maintenance, light and senior diets. We can also recommend diets to help you look after your cat’s teeth.
SCALLYWAGS members get 10% off food.
Insurance is always a good idea to allow for the unexpected – particularly as advancement in veterinary medicine often means we can offer more in the way of treatment option for your pets’ accidents and illnesses.
Dental care is important to cats and it is never too early to start looking after your cat’s teeth. An oral care diet is available to do the job for you whilst feeding your pet a good quality balanced cat food. In addition, dental gels can be used. Please discuss the best option for your kitten at the clinic. We also have a Nurse available for Dental Clinics, to advise and demonstrate how to keep your pets’ mouth healthy. | 2019-04-23T14:33:44Z | null | 679.2 | 3,172 | null | 0 | []

Facebook Ads are a quite effective way of augmenting the visibility of a Facebook page, either by increasing the fans number or the traffic directed to our website. Lots of companies perform a poorly effective management of this tool, thus getting a poor return of investment.
In this talk, Carles Roca will explain the different types of Facebook Ads there are, the differences from Google Ads, and when is worth spending money on them based on the nature of every business.
It is very difficult to extract patterns from data reading, so it is strongly important to have someone at it in order not to throw away money. All kinds of settings and targeting wil be seen, including a summary on all the aspects that can affect on a Facebook Ad performance. Additionally, there will be some time dedicated to conversion measure rates and prices.
At the end, some tricks will be explained on how to have a good fan conversions and, exclusively, the Marphille Method© will be released. | 2019-04-22T23:54:32Z | null | 401.3 | 979 | null | 0 | []

We're having trouble with a client who uses Exchange Server 2010 (they send email using Mailchimp, so the issue is receiving Mailchimp emails using our template).
The email we've designed has been tested in every client in Litmus and renders fine (all versions of Outlook for example), but something is happening when it hits Exchange and it's being totally mangled! Is this a known thing, as we can't find much information via Google? I can see that the email is being switched to "quoted-printable" that affects the code, but Outlook handles this OK from our research (e.g. inserting "3D" before "=" symbols). It also seems that the charset is switching to charset="Windows-1252" but again, that seems normal for Exchange. Our email loses all formatting (CSS and structure), but we can't work out why! Can anyone help us? Thanks! | 2019-04-20T02:26:19Z | null | 856.3 | 831 | null | 0 | []

In hopes of leveling the playing field for individuals with disabilities seeking employment, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits disability discrimination by employers with 15 or more employees with respect to terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. While the objective of this Act is admirable, employers are often apprehensive about interviewing and employing individuals who suffer from a “disability” (meaning a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities). This apprehension may stem from a lack of understanding the ADA’s requirements, and fear that a misstep will result in a lawsuit.
In reality, the ADA leaves employers broad latitude in hiring and employment practices, as they are only required to provide reasonable accommodations to enable an otherwise qualified disabled applicant or employee to perform the job. Further, although an employer is prohibited from asking an applicant about the nature or severity of the applicant’s disability, the employer may ask her whether she can perform the duties with or without reasonable accommodations.
“Reasonable accommodations” include providing or modifying equipment or devices; job restructuring; modified work schedules; providing readers and interpreters; and making the workplace accessible. However, if the accommodation would cause “undue hardship” on the employer, the employer does not have to provide the accommodation. Essentially, if the employer can prove that an accommodation will cause significant difficulty or expense, the accommodation is not reasonable and the employer is within its rights to decline to offer the accommodation.
Providing further protection to employers is the fact that courts will not second guess businesses’ assessment of economic conditions, the individuals’ work performance, and staffing needs. Willnerd v. First Nat. Nebraska, Inc., 558 F.3d 770, 779 (8th Cir. 2009) (“In general, it is not the court’s role to second-guess businesses’ assessments of general economic conditions, their own performance, and their own staffing needs.”). As long as employment decisions are motivated by reasonable financial or business concerns, and not discrimination, the employer should not have to worry about adverse legal action as a result of decisions involving individuals with disability. Any employer worried that an employment decision may result in a discrimination action should consult legal counsel before acting.
Instead of being apprehensive about interviewing and hiring individuals with disabilities, due to fear of discrimination allegations, employers can leverage the unique talents applicants may offer, all while knowing the ADA will protect them from liability for well-founded business decisions. | 2019-04-25T18:45:46Z | null | 347 | 2,782 | null | 0 | []

It is midnight in Uganda.
I am sitting in the common area listening to the family with three teenagers giggle down the hall.
I just rocked my littlest back to sleep. She is sure it is playtime.
You need to know that today was a good day. Twelve hours in with our boys and I know that for a first day it was a good day.
But it was a lot. I am physically, mentally, and spiritually drained.
The intense and acute pain of living in a fallen world rolled all over our family today. The pain that births adoption blistered and festered right in front of our eyes. It as if we stepped off the ledge in the shallow end only to realize we weren't even in a pool anymore, but in an ocean of roaring waves.
Feed snack. Say a prayer. Play with toys. Recite a memory verse. Settle in for nap. Read a Bible story.
We know how to swim. But the waves seem so big. So we just did the motions we know to do. We treaded water today. But still it washed over our heads.
Russ and I sat next to each other at the table tonight after all the littles were fast asleep (thank you Lord) with tears in our eyes because there is a difference in knowing it will be difficult, and knowing it will be difficult.
We felt the sting of loss today. We felt the weight of institutional life. It as if we got a goose egg on our forehead and because we can feel how acute the pain from that little bump is, we can better empathize with how bad the pain must be from the head wound that is bleeding out for our boys.
As I write this, I am staring at a painting that says, "The joy of the Lord is our strength."
The words are going in and out of focus, both with my eyes and with my understanding. Here in the dark and quiet. With just a minute to rest from the treading of water, I stare at the verse. I stare longer.
And deep down, I submit that it is true.
I am not enough for this. I cannot heal this hurt. I cannot speed up redemption. I am not enough.
The same waves that washed us out to the deep in will carry us back to set our feet on solid ground. | 2019-04-22T12:35:37Z | null | 473.4 | 2,019 | null | 0 | []

May 31st 2008 - My last day as a Graphic Designer at Nets Creative Station Sdn Bhd.
My time there wasn't an extremely long time but of course there some 'feeling'.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank some of my colleagues there.
People from my department with another colleague (Stephanie) who left on the same day.
Disclaimer : Written not in any particular order.
I think I'll miss you most! Thank you for everything! It was a great experience working with you, sharing ideas & thoughts with you. Thank you also for the many times you back me up when I'm stuck or in trouble or going to be in trouble. (aww... hero... lol). Thanks also for showing me a clearer picture of what I would be facing in the near future, it's such an honour getting to know you.
Thank you again for being a great art director, colleague, friend, breakfast/lunch/yum-cha buddy and 'partner-in-crime'.
Thank you for always watching out for me. I've learnt a lot from you! Especially the art of 'being positive'! Heheh. Don't 'fong fei kei' so much!
It's really an eye opener working with you. I learn a lot of weird things from you (eg. straight but curve, simplicity with complexity). Don't talk crap so much, k?
The funny guy! Thanks for the fun and for being a good friend!
Wendy, Agnes, Alan, Pearl, Stephanie, Siew Yee, Ray, Sharen - It was really great knowing you guys!
I would really miss my time with you guys! Keep in contact! Take care & all the best to all of you! | 2019-04-18T10:15:16Z | null | 458.6 | 1,463 | null | 0 | []

No one can deny that life is harder than it used to be. We have an unemployment rate that does not seem to want to come down, we keep getting into firefights in the Middle East, and prices at the supermarket keep rising yet salaries don’t keep pace.
I have identified at five reasons (and there are more) that are feeding this decline spawning from our Federal Government and the actions they force upon the general population.
Cloned politicians holding the same office time and time again – This one takes on many forms. We have issues in this country that need to be solved. We have tried a certain set of solutions and it didn’t seem to work. We can look at Senate and Congress and realize that some of those people have been there for 3 – 4 decades. When this is not the case in all but a few cases congressional seats seem to never change parties, and the next person to hold the office is virtually the same as the last. The same ideas come out again and again.
We can turn back the metaphorical clock for a few decades and realize that sitting in the Oval Office there has not been a wide range of views.
We have President George Bush Senior, a reasonable man who did set some goals and solve problems that existed at the time in the Middle East by building an international coalition.
We have President Bill Clinton who oversaw the .com boom and a healthy economy spawned by Silicon Valley inventing a new industry. To his credit President Clinton stayed out of the way of Silicon Valley and there was some growth. Once regulation started to hit we saw a .bust but I suspect those policies came from Congress not the oval office.
We have President George Bush Junior. He tried to rerun parts of his father’s presidency after we were attacked on 9⁄11. We got hit and hard, were his responses reasonable and appropriate? I think it was well intentioned but I think naïve that just re-running the last set of solutions would fix it. Our enemy evolved and we really didn’t.
We have President Barack Obama who is trying to re-run the great society. He brought higher taxes and more government spending to stimulate an economy that was being crushed by a crash due to exploding mortgages (a policy begun under President Clinton). Now he seems to be re-running a weakened version of the first President Bush’s Middle East policy by bombing ISIS/ISIL targets. The trouble is he wants this to stay as an advisory role. This sounds suspiciously like the start of Vietnam to me. We can only have mission creep from here. This is an era I have studied carefully; so much so I wrote a fiction novel about it (Forest of Assassins is available on Amazon). When I say the similarities to that failed policy are eerie I mean eerie.
Now leaping into 2016 we have many people talking about running. We have former Governor Mitt Romney, former Secretary of State/Senator/First Lady Hillary Clinton, and former Governor Jeb Bush. Sounds like a lot of repeats to me.
As voters we need to recognize the insanity of this and find a new direction that offers real solutions not just speeches and platitudes.
An economic policy that matters – We have an economy policy that ensures a few things. First is guarantees that government spending will continue to expand. How can this happen and not crush those who don’t work in government? Federal spending can’t expand forever without massive increases in taxes or high inflation rates. Which of these two would you prefer? One or the other could happen.
An international policy that doesn’t piss off the rest of the world – In our recently announced, soon to become reality, air campaign against ISIL that told the public where this would they would take place. I did a little digging and realize that there are troops from other nations imbedded in that area. Those nations are Iran and Russia. Does it sound like a good idea for us to drop bombs that may kill people from either of those two locations as collateral damage? It sounds like something that could cause our well intentioned bombing runs to go badly very quickly, especially without ground troops to tell us who are the ISIL targets and who aren’t. Combat can be a confusing place and you either go all in or you don’t go. Air strikes only are not all in. We need to either be serious about this path we are on or go back to the entry point and not enter.
No longer separating Americans into groups – People have a natural tendency to group themselves in a variety of ways. Some years ago some marketing guru involved in politics starting keying in on this and came up with hyphenated Americans. Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans, etc, etc, etc. How about if we go back to being Americans. All equal under the eyes of the law, all equal under consideration to one another. I know judging people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character isn’t a new idea, but how about we put it into practice instead of just as a line in a speech?
Government isn’t always the answer – So often when things happen we are turning to the Government. We think the neighbors make too much noise? Oh no, don’t go next door, call the cops. McDonalds runs out of Chicken McNuggets, don’t go to the next McDonalds, call 9−1−1 (sadly that happened). I could go on but I think the point is made.
We are a Nation in decline. There is no good reason for us to be. We have natural resources, we have hard working people, we have engineers and doctors and farmers…What we need is a Nation where we once again work together to solve problems and stop yelling at each other for the mere fact that I might be of one political party (or insert your favorite hyphenated American type) and you are another.
Let’s fix this nation and stop yelling about it, and for goodness sake, let’s find a President or other Federal Official we are excited to vote for, not someone we will vote for just so that that ‘Other Guy’ doesn’t get the job.

How can this happen and not crush those who don’t work in government? Federal spending can’t expand forever without massive increases in taxes or high inflation rates. Which of these two would you prefer? One or the other could happen.
An international policy that doesn’t piss off the rest of the world – In our recently announced, soon to become reality, air campaign against ISIL that told the public where this would they would take place. I did a little digging and realize that there are troops from other nations imbedded in that area. Those nations are Iran and Russia. Does it sound like a good idea for us to drop bombs that may kill people from either of those two locations as collateral damage? It sounds like something that could cause our well intentioned bombing runs to go badly very quickly, especially without ground troops to tell us who are the ISIL targets and who aren’t. Combat can be a confusing place and you either go all in or you don’t go. Air strikes only are not all in. We need to either be serious about this path we are on or go back to the entry point and not enter.
No longer separating Americans into groups – People have a natural tendency to group themselves in a variety of ways. Some years ago some marketing guru involved in politics starting keying in on this and came up with hyphenated Americans. Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans, etc, etc, etc. How about if we go back to being Americans. All equal under the eyes of the law, all equal under consideration to one another. I know judging people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character isn’t a new idea, but how about we put it into practice instead of just as a line in a speech?
Government isn’t always the answer – So often when things happen we are turning to the Government. We think the neighbors make too much noise? Oh no, don’t go next door, call the cops. McDonalds runs out of Chicken McNuggets, don’t go to the next McDonalds, call 9-1-1 (sadly that happened). I could go on but I think the point is made.
We are a Nation in decline. There is no good reason for us to be. We have natural resources, we have hard working people, we have engineers and doctors and farmers…What we need is a Nation where we once again work together to solve problems and stop yelling at each other for the mere fact that I might be of one political party (or insert your favorite hyphenated American type) and you are another.
Let’s fix this nation and stop yelling about it, and for goodness sake, let’s find a President or other Federal Official we are excited to vote for, not someone we will vote for just so that that ‘Other Guy’ doesn’t get the job. | 2019-04-23T18:15:16Z | null | 1,002.3 | 12,101 | null | 0.034873 | [

We stayed in this charming cottage for a couple of days during our visit to Barossa Valley. It was very comfortable and close to the centre of Angaston. Sue looked after us brilliantly, she provided us with a very generous continental breakfast for thle 2 days, and put together a beautiful cheese platter of local produce for when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again!
Warm, cosy, welcoming and very well equipped. Also great location within walking distance of Main Street but far enough away to be peaceful and quiet.
From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Sue we just knew this was some place special. This beautiful, traditional cottage is filled with all the features you would expect (open fireplace fully stocked with wood and kindling), open claw bath to various home made fudge and slice, full breakfast provisions all sourced locally, and cosy, comfortable beds!!! Sue provided us with plenty of local tips for eating and winery tours, which all contributed to what was an unforgettable, truly special trip!!! We will most definitely be back and recommend Walnut Cottage (or neighbouring Acorn Cottage) to one and all for authentic, memorable Barossa experience.
Thank you so much for taking time to review your stay at Walnut Cottage.
It was lovely to meet you both. Happy that you enjoyed your time in the beautiful Barossa and look forward to you staying with us again.
We loved our stay at Walnut Cottage; our favourite being eating dinner out under the walnut tree and the large claw bath. The place is thoughtfully set out and equipped and we didn't want for anything. The cottage was also very clean and neat. Thank you! | 2019-04-26T09:59:35Z | null | 723.7 | 3,711 | null | 0 | []

A recognised literary award winner has made Athlone her home. Swathi Sasidharan, who is of Indian origin, attained the noted FOKANA (Federation of Kerala Associations in North America) literary award in recent times, moved to the heart of Ireland in 2005 after her husband commenced work with the computer software engineering company, Ericsson.
The Spanish Institute is starting this September with new courses for adults, teenagers, and children. The new term will commence on September 17 and will offer a variety of Spanish classes to all levels, from beginner to advanced. The new schedule of courses is available on the institute’s website www.spanishinstitute.ie and on its Facebook page.
A volunteer from Oranmore is among a group of 35 who will travelling to Haiti this weekend. Haven, a prominent Irish NGO working on the ground in Haiti, is undertaking its twelfth volunteer trip to Haiti and Jan Gottsche from Oranmore is setting off on this life-changing experience with Haven’s 2018 Volunteer Programme.
Plenty of people have had mad thoughts or ideas while away on holidays, but there are not too many of them who follow them through to the end. But that is exactly what one Castlebar man did after walking the Inca Trail as a tourist in 2016, Jarlath McHale was so taken by the workload carried out by the porters who lugged everything he and his fellow tourists needed, from food to tents to toilet facilities from stop to stop, along with everything for themselves for the four day trek, that he came up with the idea of becoming the first non-Peruvian to do the trail as a porter and film his journey - from their eyes.
The new term at The Spanish Institute starts on September 18 and will offer a variety of Spanish classes for beginner, improver, intermediate, and advanced levels. Courses are also available for children and teenagers, including Junior and Leaving Cert preparation.
The new term at The Spanish Institute starts on September 18 and will offer a variety of Spanish classes to all ages at a variety of levels, from beginner to advanced. The new schedule of classes is available on the institute’s Facebook page and website.
Haven, a prominent Irish NGO working on the ground in Haiti, is undertaking its 11th annual volunteer trip to Haiti from April 21 to 29.
With Summer on the horizon many of us will be looking towards a chance for a get away. Living in Galway, one of the main reasons we want to jump on a plane and fly away is because of the lack of sun. The Canaries, the Balearic Islands, France, and the USA are all destinations we flock to when heading abroad. But have you ever thought about the Dominican Republic (DR)? | 2019-04-22T02:21:15Z | null | 374.2 | 2,756 | null | 0.276851 | [

Ahhhh sleeping on your stomach while pregnant...sounds like a dream...a fictional story...a made up, old wives’ tale...right?
You're not the only one who wants to know if It's okay to sleep on your stomach during pregnancy.
But what happens once your bump is too big you ask? You can’t lay on your stomach or your legs and head will be hanging in mid-air!
All jokes aside, the only option for pregnant women is to sleep on their side with one of those little semi-helpful bump wedges that barely do anything or to sleep on their back which is widely considered a no-no by caregivers.
But what if I told you that those weren’t the only options and that you could actually continue to sleep and rest on your stomach while pregnant, throughout your entire pregnancy?
This has become entirely possible due to a popular and highly reviewed invention called The Cozy Bump. The Cozy Bump is praised by pregnant women worldwide to finally be the answer to all of their pregnancy pains and discomfort.
The Cozy Bump allows pregnant women to safely and finally get a good night sleep while laying on their belly due to the patented design.
Its design has a “belly hole” which a pregnant woman can place her belly in once she lays face down on the Cozy Bump. It not only allows pregnant women to continue to lie on their belly during pregnancy, but it also helps relieve their back pain by lowering the legs which help to decompress the spine.
So yes, you CAN sleep on your stomach while pregnant. But you need the right tools in order to do so safely, without hurting yourself or your baby.
We hope you can experience how wonderful stomach sleeping is once again! | 2019-04-25T04:00:20Z | null | 429.9 | 1,653 | null | 0 | []

Management of Tissue Loss After Agkistrodon Snakebite: Appropriate Use of Crotalidae-Fab Antivenin.
Larson KW1, Schaefer KR, Austin C, Norton R, Finley PJ.
Trauma and Burn Surgery, Mercy Clinic-Springfield, Springfield, Missouri (Dr Larson); Department of Trauma Services (Mr Schaefer) and Division of Trauma & Burn Research (Ms Austin and Dr Finley), Mercy Hospital-Springfield, Springfield, Missouri; and Jordan Valley Innovation Center, Center for Biomedical and Life Sciences, Springfield, Missouri (Mr Norton).
Although initially created for the treatment of rattlesnake (genus: Crotalus) bites, Crotalidae-Fab antivenin is used to treat many different pit viper envenomations. However, the efficacy of Crotalidae-Fab in preventing tissue loss from copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) or cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus) snakebites remains unclear. Recent reports show that Agkistrodon-related bites rarely require treatment beyond simple observation and pain control. The purpose of this study was to examine the amount of tissue loss in patients who received Crotalidae-Fab compared with those who did not after an Agkistrodon bite. After institutional review board approval, a retrospective study was completed at a Level 1 trauma center. Between 2009 and 2013, a total of 57 snakebites were identified. Of the 57 bites, the snake species was documented in 36 cases including 31 copperheads, 1 cottonmouth, and 4 rattlesnakes. The other 21 bites were from unknown or nonvenomous species. Of the 32 Agkistrodon-related bites, 15 patients received Crotalidae-Fab (average of 3 vials administered) and 17 did not receive Crotalidae-Fab. None of the 32 patients, regardless of treatment option, had tissue loss or required surgical interventions. Only 1 patient received Crotalidae-Fab and debridement of a vesicle associated with the bite. No clinically significant differences were observed between the groups. These findings support previous literature that failed to show added benefit of Crotalidae-Fab treatment for Agkistrodon bites beyond patient comfort and pain control. Evaluation of current protocols for Agkistrodon envenomations is warranted. Snakebite wound education in trauma physicians and nurses may decrease unnecessary use of antivenom medication. | 2019-04-19T07:19:51Z | null | 738.8 | 2,353 | null | 0 | []

In the era of smartphones and virtually unlimited technical possibilities, usability is key. Tom Sprenger, Group CTO, and Peter Boon, CTO AdNovum Hungary, talk about how this shift has influenced software engineering.
Compared with 10 years ago, how has software engineering changed?
TS: Our main goal is, and has always been, to satisfy the users’ needs. When we started building software, our customers’ processes were still paper-based. The main challenge was to build software to model these processes. This has changed dramatically. With the amount and availability of digital data growing at an astonishing pace, new possibilities and new needs have emerged. Today, we no longer take current processes as a given, but start by analyzing the business needs from the user’s perspective. This has had considerable impact on the way we build software, look at staffing, or handle tooling and technologies.
PB: The focus has shifted from the backend to the frontend. While we quite reliably master the backend applications, we — from project managers to developers — have to change the way we think and approach tasks on the usability side. New approaches are required. Previously, engineers could just do what they thought made sense. Now they have to take the usability aspects much more into account and maybe even discuss possible solutions with a usability expert. What a developer might consider to be a detail may actually be quite important.
What a developer might consider to be a detail may actually be quite important.
TS: Yes, this shift has considerable impact on the way in which we build applications. We now start at the frontend and work our way to the backend. The different layers of our reference architecture are decoupled. This allows backend engineers to focus on developing services and the frontend engineers to focus on implementing functionality from the user’s perspective — and hence to focus on user interaction. I’m convinced that we will benefit from this approach in many ways, one of them being that it increases the testability and flexibility of our solutions.
PB: It is easier for the younger engineers. They have grown up with much more exposure to applications with a "rich" user interface (UI) and mobile devices. To be able to reproduce and work with that is really cool for them, whereas more experienced engineers are used to focusing on functionality and the backend. Yet, whenever you get in touch with frontend, you have to just be aware that the UI is much more important than it was five years ago.
When did you first become aware of this shift in perspective?
PB: Working on a mobile banking project. We had a design company and it was all about creating a consistent UI for the whole app. There I realized that user experience (UX) is a big thing. As regards my first private UX experience, I’ve used computers for a long time. That grew naturally, starting with when mobile phones really took a flight.
TS: To me, it happened way back when getting in contact with the first Apple Macintosh around 1985. It was the first computer which came with a mouse that allowed drawing and cutting stuff in a painting application! Another UI revolution was the iPhone — the first mobile device to be designed around the user. At that time, established brands had big issues just to provide the functionality of mobile telephony and the user interfaces were horrible. Apple’s entry into the market was not so much based on functionality, but on providing a nice and innovative user interface. These two experiences made me aware of the added value of well-thought user interaction design. Looking back today, I think that its impact proved even more important than I had thought at the time Apple for sure is a special case, but it illustrates very nicely that the combination of being rock solid in the backend and very user centric in the frontend could be a differentiating factor on the market.
How would you describe today’s typical app and software user?
PB: A few years ago, people could not imagine the systems which we were building. They would go from manual processes to an automated system. So whatever we would provide was great. It was about functionality. Nowadays, they are used to working with all kinds of websites and apps with high usability — and expect the same from us. They even give precise feedback about the solution, saying, for example, that the buttons are not placed correctly or something is inconsistent.
TS: In the earlier days, we mainly built applications which were used by our customers’ staff in their daily work, that is to say business to business applications (B2B). Today, we build business applications which are used by our customers to interact with their customers, namely business to business to customer applications (B2B2C) whose expectations regarding usability are even higher. But also for applications used within the enterprise, expectations have changed. In general, the end users’ benefit and experience take top priority today for companies, something which we realize again and again, for example, when working on tenders. To integrate the user perspective into the design process from the very beginning, AdNovum has established a dedicated UX team.
How does involving designers in the engineering process impact the work of developers?
PB: Dealing with UX designers is new, but not much different from a developer having to work with a business analyst. Of course, we had to adjust our tooling and processes to ensure seamless integration of the new tools and roles.
TS: The early involvement of the UX team fundamentally influences the way how project teams talk about the solution which they are building. Non-technical topics gain importance. Developers see it as enrichment and acknowledge the benefit of having UX designers as a complementary discipline in the project.
How do you make them speak the same language?
TS: On a roles and functions level, we see that, while engineers and UX designers are perfectly capable of understanding each other, there is a profile missing in between, namely the frontend developers. Frontend developers with their flair for user interfaces and a profound technical understanding act like interpreters between our engineers and the UX designers. As a result, it was evident that we had to hire additional frontend developers. On a technical level, we adjusted the software engineering process, different aspects of the software architecture and aligned the frontend tooling to reflect and support their involvement.
Something which is easy to use may be quite complex to implement.
Where does the customer fit in?
TS: As a well-established approach, we involve customers at a very early stage in a project. Our project platform provides the required tooling, such as collaborative services which enable the customer to see what we’re doing, from the early drafts to the first UI prototypes and the development. A good example is a project which we did for a logistics company. UX designers accompanied drivers on their trucks to see exactly what they were doing. Based on this, they presented an early prototype to the customer. Today, user experience is very important to gain customer acceptance, whereas a few years ago, the customer primarily expected the application to provide the required functionality.
PB: This is exactly why we positioned AdNovum’s UX designers very close to the business analysts. Together with the customer, they figure out on a functional level what the application should do and how it should work.
If customers and users are involved from the very beginning and help engineer the best solution, where is the challenge?
TS: The major challenges are that, to begin with, something which is easy to use may be quite complex to implement, and then that, to do so, you have to choose between endless UX possibilities. In close cooperation with the customer, we have to find the most suitable solution, set the right priorities, pick the right hot spots and define a roadmap for the solution to evolve. From a technical point of view, a major challenge is to provide applications without any media disruption, from UX to frontend to backend.
PB: Quite a lot of effort and time goes into details and making them work. When the business analyst and the UX designer figure out at an early stage how a solution should work, they choose the general screen layout and flow. But then a number of details need to be defined such as how do different controls have to work? How about responsibilities, response times, speed, accessibility, user navigation with keyboard and shortcuts? These things might change during the process and the time required to implement them is easily underestimated.
Do you have to re-design your applications from scratch to make them user-friendly and stay competitive?
TS: No, the core can quite often be reused. The almost revolution takes place on the UX level where we see substantial development and motion. Often, legacy applications are cut on a suitable tier and a new frontend is popped onto them. In many cases, the only real change is how functionality is presented and how users interact with it.
PB: In addition, multiple frontends — for example a mobile app, a desktop application or a website — can be used to access the same backend.
What if a customer asks for the impossible?
TS: Then, he’s at the right place with us! (laughing) Since we talk to the customer at a very early stage, it’s all about expectation management. Of course, there are limits, but we try to push those limits hard.
PB: Users have certain expectations based on what they have seen in other applications. However, they also know the limits. An example: we are currently re-implementing a desktop application into a web application. The users understand that we cannot provide the same functionality at 100% because the web application needs to run in a browser.
TS: Most applications run on a certain system which already has some UX guidelines, for example how to swipe, delete or implement a list. However, on rare occasions, customers do come up with unusual ideas, for example an application where a certain element is scalable in multiple dimensions and has a really complex visual functionality. Although this is technically possible, we do not recommend implementation of such requirements because it does not comply with the specific guidelines of the operating system (OS) and hence, this would have a negative effect on overall user experience.
How do customers react if you advise against a requirement or functionality?
PB: Generally, they understand the reasons and they accept it. For example, when we migrate a desktop application to a web application, they usually understand that there are limitations. Or if the customer’s requirements are in conflict with the policies of an app store, we can only suggest and provide alternatives.
From a user-experience point of view, how does a browserbased solution fare when compared with a fat client?
PB: People have become used to browser technology because they use online services. Yet, compared with a fat client, there is always a little delay. However, we can overcome this gap quite well and it is not a "no go" for web applications.
TS: There has been major progress in executing web applications in a browser. All the big companies, including Oracle, Apple, Mozilla and Google, put tons of effort into improving the execution speed of web applications, from which also usability greatly benefits.
Big companies put tons of effort into improving the execution speed of web applications, from which also usability greatly benefits.
How does this affect the technologies which are used?
TS: Technology cycles keep getting shorter. What is cuttingedge today may be outdated tomorrow.
PB: Some 10 years ago, we replaced many legacy applications for exactly this reason. As for the generation for which we are now building, I am not sure if the replacement cycle will accelerate.
TS: I would rather expect a flat curve on a high level. Currently, mobile is still a hot topic, as everybody has his/her own ideas what to do with a mobile device. Another one is mobile payment.
PB: For enterprise applications, the technology cycle is less of an issue. But those end-user-facing applications are really a different category. At the time when e-banking applications were going mobile, I saw cases where just the UI was upgraded in several iterations to stay competitive, without any functional changes.
Given these shrinking development cycles, how can you ensure efficient technology management?
PB: AdNovum has always had a very good and strict technology management process. This has become even more important with the number of components, frameworks and third-party libraries increasing dramatically over the last two or three years. Basically, we rely on our experience and prefer tools which have been tried and tested. Once we have decided, we focus on the selected tools, invest in their integration and build up know-how. In case of open source components, we also take into account the community which is behind them, how long it has been around and how many people are contributing. Based on these factors, we can make quite reliable predictions about whether a tool will continue to provide the features which we are going to need over the coming years.
Tom Sprenger, Dr. sc. techn. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), joined AdNovum in 2000 as a Software Engineer. From 2002 to 2004, he was Head of AdNovum Software Inc. in San Mateo, CA. In 2007, he was promoted to Chief Information Officer (CIO) and a member of management. In this function, he built up the strategic business area IT Consulting. Since 2013 he has assumed responsibility for the company’s technology strategy and engineering process in his role as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). In his private life, Tom Sprenger enjoys spending time with his family and going on a downhill bike tour every now and then.
Peter Boon, MSc in Computer Science from VU University Amsterdam, started working for AdNovum Hungary in 2009 after moving to Budapest from The Netherlands. He had the technical lead in various desktop and mobile related projects. As CTO AdNovum Hungary, Peter Boon took part in defining AdNovum’s strategy for mobile applications. Outside of work, he enjoys running, photography and travelling with his family. | 2019-04-21T12:03:34Z | null | 325.9 | 14,455 | null | 0.016603 | [

**note: Josh has asked I send on my scribbles before posting, but alas on this occasion I have rambled again and with out editing I post. Excuse any confusion, spelling and grammatical mistake.
Its been a while and I would love to be able to explain all that has happened but that would take way. Being that this is my day off I feel I should keep it short and get back to what I was doing, resting.
Since last I wrote we returned from the Munich World Cup and embarked on a bold plan to put ourselves further into the thick of things. We have been in Italy and more specifically Gavirate where we train from. My family has been here for a good part of the trip and have now travel down to the Italian coast to hang out and wait to travel to Paris then London. The contrasting experience in all this is the training we have put ourselves through and what that feels like and the moments with my wife and kids and how different and extreme these are.
As for training my goal has been to ensure that personally I operate at the highest level I can. At times I have been so tired, at times I have felt empty and drained. There have been times when my muscles have ached and twitched for hours after sessions and the only thing which has stop this has been the next session when I have asked for more from my body. My mind has wandered a times too. Some times distracted and others times I have explored thought processes. The up coming peak in London is looming and with it comes other thoughts too. My motivation has been high but not always just from internal drivers. Some times I have felt so driven from within it has surprised me and other times when I have struggled to tap into my internal energies and capacities I have been triggered by the thought of external factors. I have pushed for my team, to keep working to lead certain aspects of training on and off the water. Some times I have found my self thinking how do I do the next session and then I am reminded of what we are preparing for in 3 weeks time. The external pressure and expectation to be ready is a great driver but some times its difficult to see if its coming from within or from outside. No issue here as I have felt like any and all energy which helps needs to be tapped into and utilised.
As a group we have had some great themes playing out. As a team its still clear the individual aspect is complex and involves a huge range of emotions. Each of us has hit the wall at some stage and each of us has had to work through what this means. We have all tried to support each other where we can but some times the darkness of the cave has one feeling isolated and alone. Fatigue, frustration, pain, angry and being overwhelmed is all part of a preparation like this. In time we will all look back and forget much of the darkness as the various stories get rolled out from the memory banks.
This has been a reoccurring thing in the last three weeks. When there is no more, you are left with still something. At the heart of all the distortions from training, loading, residual and accumulated fatigue and effort, one things still and always remains. Self, when all else can be lost or seem so distant and dark, self still remains. Sure this is obvious but its easily forgotten. Personally I have lost my way a few times in the last weeks. I have lost my self. The physical resources required has appear to have departed. Leaving a shadow of what I thought was I. I have even found a vast distance between felt surroundings and surreal spaciousness where I have not felt like I was even there. Its like I have not been in the boat any more or on the water, or on the bike, road, ergo, the lab, the people, the surroundings have become so peripheral its scary. We have discussed disassociation and this verges on that so my response has been to first notice when this happens and then to work my way back. Back to realising and feeling all that is happening. The information is always there its just the filtering process going on to protect ones self. Unfortunately the protective nature of this leaves one exposed to making poor decisions, to not adapting, to not changing, to not learning. All this can lead to just copping rather than thriving. So when I have thought 'No More' I have simply asked, why? With this I have also opened my eyes wider, opened my mind, and opened my body up to experience what needs to happen to improve. Protecting or fighting have been the very last resorts which I have worked to notice and then responded by going deeper into the think of it all. We as a group have discussed not using will power but rather clear intent. We have followed a path of immediate output as a driver of performance. We have been fuelled by talks of higher performance and by learning to be intentionally responsive athletes. This does not mean we have not faultier, dropped the ball, fallen, stuffed up, given in, been lost for an answer or just stuck. We have but while we have been all these things we have also come back to a number of touch points which by the way have been influenced by one of our guides, Dr Jeff Simons who has assisted us off the water in providing a common language and connection.
The final twist with all this is the idea of having 'no more' is real. Its perceived and I am sure at some point is so physical that we do have to accept the reality of immediate limitations. With 'no more' comes 'knowing more' and its only through getting stuck that we can appreciate getting un-stuck. We must hit a wall to know whats its like to pass or over come one. We must be without an answer or solution to realise what its like when we can find a way. Being in the thick of it is critical to success as its in the times of stress, loss, thickness and heaviness that we can learning, realise and appreciate another state, way or experience.
During this time I have learnt to row better and worse. I have learnt to find new ways of performing and yet failed to perform. I have learnt to push further into my capacities and at times given up. All this has happened and continues too. Soon though things will change and yes they always do. But a shift will happen when we finish or training here and head to London. Its a physical move obviously as we travel but the shift is more significant than that. The shadow of the event gets closer every day and once in London we will be on the side of a mountain which is the Games. Here we have created our own mountains but there it is created for us. We will be back in the mode of competing athletes and each day will be a step closer to the summit. Each day we will step out of our training fatigue and into freshness. We will step from the shadows into the light. More eyes will be watching our every move and with each step the air becomes thinner.
To stand on top of the peak come the Games we will have to be the best at dealing with all this while bring all of ourselves to a moment of performance bliss. To be onto will require comfort to live and breath rarified air. Its Olympic air that only last for two week ever four years. All the training and preparations are designed to ready us for a moment and by that time all that we have been through here will be a distant memory. A distant but vivid reminder and support for the performance we will produce. For now I rest because tomorrow there is more for now I have the brief respite until another thick and heavy week. Oh the joy, got to love it. | 2019-04-24T10:04:26Z | null | 464.6 | 7,454 | null | 0 | []

The following hypotheses about long-range market forecasting were examined: Hl Objective methods provide more accuracy than do subjective methods. H2 The relative advantage of objective over subjective methods increases as the amount of change in the environment increases. H3 Causal methods provide more accuracy than do naive methods. H4 The relative advantage of causal over naive methods increases as the amount of change in the environment increases. Support for these hypotheses was then obtained from the literature and from a study of a single market. The study used three different models to make ex ante forecasts of the U.S. air travel market from 1963 through 1968. These hypotheses imply that econometric methods are more accurate for long range market forecasting than are the major alternatives, expert judgment and extrapolation, and that the relative superiority of econometric methods increases as the time span of the forecast increases.

Are Oil and Natural Gas Stocks at a Permanent High?
Once again, oil and natural gas stocks are turning in a series of strong performances in the most recent earnings season.
Murphy Oil (NYSE: MUR) beat analysts expectations by 14%. As a result, the share price for Murphy Oil is up more than 16% for the month. Chevron (NYSE: CVX) continues to rise, up nearly 5% for the last four weeks of market action. For 2013, Chevron is trading higher by more than 17%. Americas Petrogas, (TSX: BOE), a Canadian oil and gas firm with operations in Latin America, reported more than a 600% increase in gross profits in its most recent quarter. The net income jump for Americas Petrogas was strong, too.
There are many reasons why investors should be responding bullishly to that with the buying of shares of Murphy Oil, Chevron, Americas Petrogas and other oil and natural gas companies. The most important is that demographics are on the side of oil and natural gas. According to a recent report from The McKinsey Global Institute, the research affiliate of McKinsey & Co., the global consulting firm, there will be more than one billion consumers entering the consumer class in the decades ahead.
That will result in a tremendous demand for oil and natural gas. Millions more will be driving motor vehicles. That alone will increase the demand for oil. The mass migration to the cities will continue unabated, particularly in China. From that, there will be a need for more natural gas to be produced. Coal pollutes too much, which favors natural gas as an energy source for utilities operating in an urban area.
Making oil and natural gas stocks even more appealing for investors is the income received from these companies.
The average dividend yield for a member of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index is around 2%. For Chevron, it is 3.20%. Murphy Oil has a dividend yield of 1.75%. Both Chevron and Murphy Oil have the cash flow to increase the dividend yields and initiate share buyback programs to reward shareholders.
Americas Petrogas, Chevron, and Murphy oil all have strong capital structures, which results in a long term appeal for investors. Coupled with the burgeoning need from the expanding middle classes in the most populous areas of the world, oil and natural gas will be much in demand for the future. As a result, the stock of Chevron, Murphy Oil, Americas Petrogas, and other oil and natural gas companies should be in greater demand too, which will result in the share prices rising! | 2019-04-26T12:09:58Z | null | 320 | 2,493 | null | 0 | []

VOA Deewa Radio reporter Mukarram Khan Aatif was taking part in evening prayers at a local mosque near his home in the town of Shabqadar when two masked men rode up on motorcycles and shot him in the head and chest before riding away. Aatif died of his wounds on January 17, 2012, after being taken to a hospital in the city of Peshawar. The Taliban claimed responsibility.
Aatif was also a reporter for local TV stations in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), a stronghold of Taliban and al-Qaeda militants who are blamed for the deaths of more than two dozen journalists since 2004. Aatif was a native of the Mohmand tribal district from which he was forced to move following threats on his life. He settled in Shabqadar, a subdivision of the Charsadda district roughly 15 miles north of Peshawar. | 2019-04-20T16:35:35Z | null | 156.6 | 818 | null | 0 | []

Vitamin D Foods for Vegetarians – Vitamin D is one of the vital nutrients for the body, as it facilitates the absorption of calcium. This is mandatory for healthy development as well as repair of bones. Apart from calcium, it also helps in absorbing other minerals such as zinc, iron, and magnesium.
As a fact, this vitamin is not naturally present in many food items. Thus, its primary sources are sunlight and foods that are fortified. The sunlight source is not a direct one, as the UVB rays are responsible for vitamin D synthesis upon its penetration into the skin.
When it comes to food, there are a few vitamin D-rich items that can be a part of daily meals. Mostly, it is believed that non-veg food is rich in vitamin D. However, this does not mean that vegetarians cannot obtain a sufficient amount of this vitamin. So, how can they obtain enough of vitamin D? How can they obtain an easily accessible dose of this vitamin?
Well, the good news is that many sources of vitamin D are suitable to the vegetarians. By regularly consuming fortified foods, vegetarians can quickly get a sufficient dose of vitamin D. Let’s check them out!
Most of us know that milk is rich in calcium and other minerals. However, very few know that it is also a rich source of vitamin D along with fat and proteins. As per the experts, a single glass of whole milk has 20% daily value of vitamin D.
However, while skimming, all fat-soluble vitamins are removed from it, which includes vitamins A and D. This is the reason why milk is fortified with these vitamins to restore them. Such milk is instilled with the lost fat-soluble vitamins. Fortified milk is now among the staple foods in the U.S.A.
Kindly note that only whole milk offers a sufficient amount of vitamin D. Its by-products such as ice cream, cheese, and yogurt do not, except for butter that contains this vitamin!
What fish means to non-vegetarians for fulfilling the intake of vitamin D, tofu means the same for vegetarians looking for most accessible sources of this vitamin. In other words, tofu is a significant source of this vitamin for all vegetarians.
Made from soy milk, tofu is a powerhouse of different nutrients. Just 79 g of it gives 581 mg of vitamin D. It is one of the preferred vitamin D foods for vegetarians. If you do not like tofu, you can choose other soy products such as yogurt and plain soy milk. Of these two, per cup, soy yogurt has relatively more vitamin D content.
It is known that orange is a good source of vitamins C and A, just as most citrus fruits. If you make orange juice at home and have it fresh, it surely has no vitamin D. Nevertheless, some brands offer fortified orange juice that is instilled with this vitamin.
Just a single cup of such juice is likely to give a minimum of 100 IU of this vitamin. While this can persuade you to buy a packaged juice box, do also keep an eye on the quantity of sugar and preservatives.
This is the only byproduct of whole milk that has a great quantity of vitamin D, which is five times more than some other cheese types. Its single serving has 25 IU of this vitamin. It is one of the best vitamin D foods for vegetarians.
A few kinds of cereal come with a good quantity of vitamin D. These are especially bran cereals that contain 131 IU of this vitamin. Even those fortified with fruits contain vitamin D but in less quantity. Consider buying cereals that provide over 100 IU of this vitamin.
These five sources are ideal for vegetarians who seek vitamin D. You can easily get them from grocery and departmental stores. | 2019-04-24T18:28:31Z | null | 270.9 | 3,553 | null | 0.048973 | [

This week Rick plays the backing track for She Move Me so you can play along. You may want to use the slow down feature to play this at a slower speed until you know it well enough so that your muscle memory will allow you to play it at full tempo.
Hi Jeff ... glad you enjoyed it. The best way for this song is to use the slow downer / looper and learn it by ear. Althought it may take you a bit more time that tab, learning this way will pay off immensely as you begin to link the sound in your head with the notes on the guitar. Please note ... Rick sometimes uses a capo. I mention that as the song is in the Kef of F.
Finally, we now frame the shots of Rick showing his playing hands, so fellow guitar players can get a better idea of how he is playing these tunes.
Wow that is one of my favorite Muddy songs. How can I learn the guitar part as well. | 2019-04-24T03:52:49Z | null | 457.8 | 855 | null | 0 | []

NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry’s leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP software suites, today announced that OnlineOne, Bazaarvoice, SecurePay, Acquia and Retail Anywhere, have embraced NetSuite’s Commerce as a Service (CaaS) initiative in Australia and now provide support for its SuiteCommerce platform. These technology partners deliver next-generation commerce solutions to enrich the NetSuite SuiteCommerce platform, including OnlineOne’s shipping solution; Bazaarvoice’s social conversations and analytics solution; SecurePay’s integrated payment gateway; Acquia’s social CRM solution; and Retail Anywhere’s integrated point of sale (POS) system.
Operating directly on the core NetSuite Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) business management application, SuiteCommerce is designed to address the limitations and complexity of first-generation commerce systems. It enables businesses to streamline business processes, grow relationships using built-in marketing tools and immerse customers in a richly interactive and intuitive shopping experience and providing a central system to manage all transactions with consumers and other businesses regardless of touchpoint (website, smartphone, in-store, tablet, social media, etc).
“Today’s consumers are more demanding than ever – when they interact with a retailer, they make few distinctions between brick-and-mortar stores, online or other channels. They want to shop whenever and however they please, through any channel—and they want a great experience every time,” said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. “Our new partnerships will enrich and extend the SuiteCommerce platform in Australia to enable merchants to seize opportunities to attract and retain customers, while ridding themselves of the cost and complexity of legacy on-premise systems."
Through these technology partnerships, Australian businesses can have a robust, extensible commerce ecosystem that raises the bar for commerce performance across all channels. With partner solutions based on the SuiteCloud development platform and available as SuiteApps at www.suiteapp.com, companies are able to mix and match partner technology to meet their unique needs and expand to meet business demands on a global scale. These new partners strengthen NetSuite’s CaaS offering and its SuiteCommerce platform, while helping to reshape commerce.
OnlineOne (www.onlineone.com.au), with offices in Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast, designs and integrates cloud-based business systems for Australian and New Zealand organisations. Based on NetSuite’s SuiteCommerce platform, the FreightOne SuiteApp makes the distribution process much easier for shipping throughout Australia and New Zealand. It allows information entered at the sales order stage to be used throughout the fulfillment and shipping process. FreightOne can save businesses time, decrease processing costs and ensure a higher degree of control and data accuracy. After the goods are shipped, all consignment details are retained in NetSuite allowing an organisation’s staff or customers to track the delivery process.
Acquia, Inc. (www.acquia.com) is a global provider of software, services and infrastructure for Drupal, the largest open source web development platform in the world, powering more than 1.5 million websites. Through the partnership, Acquia will integrate its Drupal-based products—including Drupal Commons social business software and Drupal Gardens SaaS website creation platform—with NetSuite to enable companies to build rich and integrated social CRM experiences that connect with NetSuite cloud eCommerce, CRM, marketing automation and finance technology. This integration enables companies to improve business efficiency, drive customer engagement and revenue with interactive web features, and use social activity data for personalised marketing. This Australian deal follows a global partnership announced at NetSuite SuiteWorld in May 2012.
"By combining the world's most powerful content, community and commerce platform, with a complete cloud ERP/CRM platform, sales and marketing teams now have the power to gather rich customer and prospect data and to engage more directly with specific users, while ensuring they have the freedom to create and develop whatever experiences they can imagine,” said Chris Harrop, APAC regional director for Acquia.
"By combining our leading payment gateway with the SuiteCommerce platform, Australian businesses now have a complete multi-channel solution for processing transactions from any touchpoint, whether it be online, from a tablet device or over the phone," said Richard Mann, CEO of SecurePay.
Retail Anywhere (www.retailanywhere.com) is a leading provider of POS and cloud-based retail management systems for midsize retailers. It has fully integrated its leading retail POS software with NetSuite SuiteCommerce, as well as extended the NetSuite platform to incorporate additional retail functionality to further support the needs of multi-channel and multi-location retailers. Retail Anywhere POS will deliver the functionality businesses need to enhance customer service, while increasing efficiencies and revenue opportunities. Retail Anywhere was named NetSuite’s New SuiteApp Partner of the Year at NetSuite Suiteworld in May 2012. | 2019-04-20T06:35:56Z | null | 424 | 5,344 | null | 0.989147 | [

Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about this monarch, Mr. Wilson offers this fresh perspective. This is a story of Victoria that surprised me – an insecure outsider who never felt at home in her native country (she felt more German, like her mother’s family, than English), she relied on an endless parade of favorites for guidance and moral support (first Albert then John Brown and possibly Abdul Karim). Usually shy but with strong opinions, Victoria had a unique way of reshaping her own reality. Once decided about a person, even her oldest son Bertie, they were cast as “good guy” or “bad guy” in a way that was rarely altered by reason or even evidence to the contrary.
Her relationship with Albert was the most fascinating revelation for me. She treated Albert almost as a parent figure. Their relatively short married life (21 years) was overshadowed by fears that Victoria was succumbing to the same madness her grandfather experienced. Their later married life was filled with tension over Victoria’s harsh, outspoken criticism of their eldest daughter Vicki, who was particularly close to her father. When Victoria lost both her mother and Albert within the same year, she did enter an extended mourning period, but unlike what most think, she did emerge from that to participate as an elder statesman for many years. The remainder of her life was dominated, however, by a white washed view of Albert that seems at odd with the reality their letters reveal.
Other things I found to be different than what is commonly believed or assumed: Victoria loved her children but very much disliked pregnancy and found extended periods with her children to be trying; Victoria played a secondary role politically to her husband Albert who had a pro-German vision of the future that their daughter Vicki hoped to carry on after his death; Victoria seemed to be a person of contradictions: not only did she reverse herself politically many times, she was also against women’s rights and feminism in general; Wilson remains undecided over whether or not Victoria and Brown were lovers, although there were many at the time who believed they were married.
It is a shame to learn about all her letters that have been either censored or destroyed, so we will probably never know the full picture of her inner thoughts and feelings, her closest relationships, her truest personality. Still, Mr. Wilson does a remarkable job covering such a formidable subject who lived for 81 years and reigned for over 60. There is an enormous amount of material to cover (for instance Victoria grew up to see transportation change from horse and buggy to railroad to automobiles) and Wilson meshes all the aspects of her character from daughter to wife, mother, monarch, leader, grandmother, diplomat, and elder statesman. All the stories of the various politicians can weigh down the story, particularly if you aren’t that familiar with the politics of the time, but Wilson does an excellent job combining the political with the personal which keeps the story flowing. This is a glimpse of Victoria beyond the legend (sainted widow) and beyond the scandal (did she or didn’t she sleep with her servant John Brown).
I think anyone interested in this time period or monarch will find something surprising within these pages. | 2019-04-26T09:54:00Z | null | 367.5 | 3,329 | null | 0 | []

Maybe you saw this mentioned on an Attack of the Show segment recently but there’s a site called Kickstarter, where creative sorts can set up an account to help find funding for their projects. Transylvania TV, something I mentioned a while ago, has something set up for their Halloween Special. If you like their stuff, feel about floating twenty bucks their way or more. It’s like a pledge drive and you get something better than a Tote Bag.
If any of you readers of GdL set up your own Kickstarter, let us know. We’re all about passing the world along. | 2019-04-20T13:08:44Z | null | 539.5 | 555 | null | 0 | []

When you seek care at our office, you are assured that Dr. Garrison and his staff utilize the latest in technology to enhance the quality and fit for your dental care.
Our practice uses high power magnification loupes to enhance the precision of patient care.
In addition to allowing precise, close-up work, the magnification loupes directs a beam of light directly on the teeth, minimizing glare for you.
Dr. Garrison chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. We can also examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.
Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, treating, and maintaining dental health. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Dr. Garrison utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. With digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.
Dr. Garrison utilizes intraoral camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of your diagnosis. An intraoral camera is a very small camera – in some cases, just a few millimeters long. An intraoral camera allows our practice to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth and gums, in order for us to accurately make a diagnosis. With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair-time for you! | 2019-04-24T10:00:57Z | null | 520.9 | 1,802 | null | 0.921199 | [

There is no doubting the observation "Horses for courses" and the seven-year-old handicapper STAR ASCENDING fits the bill this evening. The son of US sire Thousand Words has raced 62 times in total with 11 wins accruing, three at Wolverhampton and he won the equivalent of this last year off a mark of 73 and is a pound lighter today. The gelding disappointed at Southwell three weeks ago but was without any form of headgear and is re-equipped with a visor today, the first time at this course since last year’s win. Catching experienced all-weather handicappers right is a tricky business but the horse is top rated on BTO regular and speed figures and gets three nice positives, including a 17% for trainer Candlish’s form in the last fortnight. ARABIC CULTURE is next best on stats and ratings, whilst REDEMPTORIST and SINGING SHERIFF both have good recent form and at four years of age are the youngest in the field and open to improvement. At SkyBet and BetVictor's 10/1, Star Ascending can rise to the occasion. | 2019-04-18T12:38:32Z | null | 690.7 | 1,018 | null | 0 | []

It can be hard to decide where to start when it comes to educating yourself on plumbing. You will be a better plumber if you use the information in this article.
You should clean your septic tank every five years! This stop sedimentary particles from accumulating in the tank, and in the worst cases, flooding your home or making the entire system to fail. The cost to have your tank pumped might be a little steep, but it sure beats the alternative of dealing with sewage in your home or on your property.
TIP! If you have a water pipe that freezes, have the tap closest to it turned on so the water can exit while the pipe thaws. This relieves the pressure contained in the pipe as it also prevents it from bursting, which would reduce the damage done to your house.
TIP! It’s a bad idea to makes use of toilet tablets composed of bleach or in the color blue, or in fact any one designed to remove odors. The rubber parts of your system can be damaged by the chemicals contained in these tablets and stop functioning.
If you encounter a problem with your garbage disposal, resist the urge to reach in and fix it with your bare hands. Garbage disposals can be dangerous, even if they are powered off. Locate a diagram of the garbage disposal, or some sort of troubleshooter, online.
TIP! If you have a clogged toilet with a low water level and a plunger isn’t doing the job, it’s time to try adding a bucket of lukewarm water to the toilet from a around three feet or higher. You could repeat this process again if the water in the toilet bowl gets low.
Use a drain strainer to prevent small particles from sliding down your drain and causing clogs. You should clean your kitchen sink’s strainer every time there is a large particle that’s trapped in it. Kitchen filters should be changed often, while bathtub filters can be changed as needed.
TIP! Never pour grease or anything fatty or oily into your drain. These substances will create clogs after cooling in your drain.
Don’t put oil, grease or fat into your drain. These substances will create clogs after cooling in your drain. This is primarily true if you are someone who has a garbage disposal; the fats will make the blades go slower and less freely. Keep a container in your kitchen that is used specifically for discarded grease.
TIP! Clean your garbage disposal regularly to prolong the life of your disposal. By incorporating a regular cleaning routine, your garbage disposal can stay running smoothly.
Have all the plumbing repairs done in one visit. It can be tempting to call a plumber each time you have a minor problem, but saving plumbing work for one time allows you to put money aside for the repairs. This will cut down on your plumbing bill because they can not charge you for extra trips.
TIP! Use a cleaner that is enzyme based if you want to clean clogged pipes. These cleaners use natural bacteria to turn the sludge into a liquid, and remove it from your pipes.
Check overflow holes to make sure there’s no clog. The overflow holes are there to make sure the sink doesn’t overfill, which can become a problem if they are blocked. Clear out your sink’s overflow holes every so often, while checking for any other problems or necessary repairs.
You now know that while plumbing may seem intimidating, it is really not that complicated. You will just need to take care of your basics prior to starting. Just focus and start somewhere, this is all it takes, when you do your research apply common sense into the mix and you should have no problem tackling an easy job.
Most people are interested in learning about reference, however, they are not always aware of how to do so on their own. Thankfully, this piece has given you information to help you do it. Now you can put the various things that have been gone over here to good use. | 2019-04-19T17:18:23Z | null | 475.8 | 3,811 | null | 0.904225 | [

Lactation consultant training in Delaware is goal-oriented to help you find success in your future career as lactation consultant. Not only will this be the most exciting part of your education, but it is the hands-on aspect of this training that will prepare you to help new mothers with their breastfeeding concerns.
The majority of lactation consultant schools in Delaware require a minimum of 100 training hours prior to graduation, although each individual school may require more or less. Working with registered nurses and certified lactation consultants, you will be learning to interact with new mothers and teaching them about the importance of breastfeeding, how to help their baby latch-on, and how to assist them with any complications.
As you begin your education, you will have a few degree options to choose from: the bachelor degree and the master degree in nursing. In Delaware, you must be a registered nurse to begin working in the field of lactation consultation. For this reason, many students opt to purse their bachelor degree while they are working on their status as a registered nurse. The greatest advantage of lactation consultant schools in Delaware is that several of their education programs can be completed entirely online, giving you more flexibility to obtain your degree than traditional campus-based programs.
Aside from your training, you may also want to consider attending a meeting with La Leche League of Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. This is a non-profit organization that promotes the healthy-start benefits related to breastfeeding and also provides convenient access to lactation consultants for new mothers in Delaware. By aligning yourself with this type of professional organization, you can supplement your training by learning from more experienced lactation consultants in Delaware.
Through campus based and online programs, aspiring Lactation Consultants in Wilmington, Dover and Newark, Delaware may be able to prepare themselves for the possibility of employment in some of the largest hospitals and healthcare facilities in the state including the Christiana Hospital, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, and Kent General Hospital. | 2019-04-21T08:58:21Z | null | 223.9 | 2,201 | null | 0.127215 | [

The cello/bass/drums trio You Bred Raptors? is getting ready to release their new album Grant, and we’ve got an exclusive on the first full song from the release.
Accompanying the single release of “Boomerang” is a play-through video by bassist Peat Rains, who utilizes the full range of his 8-string Conklin bass. The bassist shares that he actually wrote the song on a 4-string before fleshing it out on his extended range bass that is tuned from F# to E.
Grant is available for pre-order and will be released on November 18th.

New album with orchestral music out now!
- This is a stunningly unusual flute concerto full of poetry, drama and intense feelings. As with the other works on this fine disc, it is brilliantly played by the Philharmonia Orchestra under Vladimir Ashkenazy. Emily Beynon is a superb soloist.
- 2L´s recording - Blu-ray and accessible in 5.1 and 7.1 DTS, 2.0 LPCM and 9.1 Auro-3D - does indeed sound breathtaking.
- Vladimir Ashkenazy is conducting a stunning Philharmonia Orchestra, which manages to bring out the turbulent dynamics and occasional ferocity of these compositions in an outstanding manner.
Currently, Beppe's catalogue of works comprises about 200 titles, more than 80 opuses, including commissions and works for piano, flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, double bass, string orchestra and orchestral works like flute concertos, piano concertos and symphonic poems. Beppe has also written ballet music, electro acoustic works, film soundtracks and songs with lyrics.
He has contributed as composer on a selection of albums. Flute Mystery (2L), featuring Vladimir Ashkenazy and Beppe as conductors, was Grammy nominated in 2010. The sequel Remote Galaxy (2L) was released worldwide in November 2013. This album features conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy, Emily Beynon, Mark van de Wiel, Ralph Rousseau and Philharmonia Orchestra.
Beppe's works have been performed around the world, e.g. the USA (The Kennedy Center), Russia, England (St. John's, Smith Square), Finland and Japan. Collaborations with and performances by Philharmonia Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Emily Beynon, Mark van de Wiel, Sir James Galway, Ralph Rousseau, Leonard Slatkin and Vladimir Ashkenazy. | 2019-04-24T09:55:51Z | null | 277.6 | 1,687 | null | 0.331357 | [

We want them by our side all the time, but just how effective is a pet-friendly workplace? Carrol Baker reports.
Has your office gone to the dogs? Across the country, many pet-friendly workplaces are welcoming four-legged woffas with open paws. And it’s easy to see why. Having a pet in the workplace reduces stress levels, improves productivity and has positive effects on workers’ physical and mental wellbeing. It can also benefit your dog, with lots of pats and cuddles from colleagues, going for walks during the day, and of course you get to hang out together — which will definitely put a big puppy dog grin on your dog’s face. Thinking about taking your dog to work? Here are some reasons why it’s a good idea.
It’s a great way to improve stress levels in the workplace. Numerous studies have found patting a dog increases levels of the body’s own happy hormone, serotonin. Got a stressful meeting coming up or a pressing deadline? Giving a pooch a tummy rub can instil a sense of calm, slowing your breathing and honing your focus.
Boosting the health of office employees makes good business sense, better health means less employee absenteeism and an improved bottom line. Having a dog at work means you need to exercise it. Rosa Nguyen from Vinomofo says before they had an office dog, she was a notorious “sitter”. “I was slave to my Gmail and one of many employees who ate salads in front of their monitor because I was ‘so busy’. Now it’s all changed and I always look forward to my doggy walks three or four times a day,” she says.

Note to Harry Styles: if you’re going to kiss a super-hot model, find out if she’s got a boyfriend first. And better still, make sure her fella isn’t in the US navy!
The One Direction star, 18, is in hot water after hooking up with stunning model Emma Ostilly – while her long-term partner was over 8,000 miles away training to serve his country.
Harry was snapped enjoying a full-on pash outside Emma’s house in Auckland after a night out.
Two days later, Harry caused a scene by arguing with his own bodyguards when they refused to let him take her back to his hotel suite at 3am.
While Harry claims the kiss was entirely innocent, saying ‘she’s just a friend’ and he’d ‘prefer not to talk about it’, we’re told that Emma’s had to grovel to her boyfriend, naval cadet Sean Gallagher, 19, for forgiveness.
Conor’s reluctant to reveal details but tells us that the couple, who’ve been dating for a year, have struggled with the incident.
‘They’ve talked it over and decided they’ll both move on from it,’ says Conor. ‘I’m not sure how Sean found out – whether she told him or he heard it in the news.

My name is Bryony Hopkins and I am a journalist, blogger and major foodie. Seriously, I love food. I also have Crohn’s Disease, and have done so for over twenty years. Crohn’s Disease is a digestive disease which may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Throughout my life with Crohn’s, I have endured a wealth of toxic drugs and six major abdominal operations. Early in 2016, I came to another crossroads in my medical journey. I needed to get into remission and fast. My options were huge scale steroids (with a mass of horrible side effects), or a one month liquid diet. I took the decision to take on the liquid diet to rest my inflamed gut. The liquid diet opened my eyes to the affect my diet and lifestyle was having on my body and things have changed massively since getting back onto the solids. I have cut out gluten, dairy and massively reduced my meat consumption. The positive impacts on my body have been truly astonishing and so my blog grew to share my findings.
Whoever you are, whatever you do -look after your mind, look after your body and it’ll look after you. I’m the living proof!

including the full command line.
failed while trying to install particular packages?
1. Take a clean CD install of Ubuntu 12.0.2, and install in a VM.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 398 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/212 MB of archives.
I think I was able to work around by reinstalling packages ten at a time using xargs -L 10 (it ran to completion, although I didn't check the entire output). This implies the problem is caused by the sheer number of packages rather than any particular packages.
This probably isn't terribly helpful. Is there a package containing debugging symbols for apt?
My problem is that I do not know how I can apply a patch for apt-get without apt-get?
Does setting the following help?

With so much information at our immediate disposal these days, almost anyone can become an expert on anything.
Here are a few FREE wine apps that I’ve taken for a test drive.
Have a dish planned and need a wine pairing? By simply selecting from drop down lists, you can enter your protein, cooking method, sauce, starch and veg, and the Wine Guru will take it from there! The app asks you for your preferred price range and then provides three wine pairing options, by producer. The wine choices are interesting and well thought out – you can tell it was designed by a true wine nerd! One criticism is that the “find this wine nearby” button isn’t currently active, however, one of the wines suggested when I tested it out was from BC, which leaves me hopeful that it will suggest locally available choices in the future.
An already well-established app, Hello Vino provides more of an all-round service for a broad range of knowledge levels and types of queries. I like the reversible food and wine pairing feature, which will either pair a wine to what you’re eating, or a dish to what you’re drinking. The app recommends several grape varietals, which can be narrowed down by producer. I love how it even takes stylistic and sub-regional differences into consideration when selecting the grape or wine type. This little ‘pocket somm’ is both user-friendly and intuitive!
Our government liquor stores have launched this new app that allows you to quickly and easily access information on the wine bottle in front of you (providing it’s a BC Liquor store listed product). With your smart phone, simply scan the bar code on the back of the bottle and access tasting notes, pricing, and availability. You can even record your own rating or review! The app also has a food and wine pairing feature which recommends a gamut of wine options – they’re much broader and less specialized than the previous two, but still useful. | 2019-04-22T12:21:42Z | null | 455.4 | 1,921 | null | 0 | []

A language is comprised of symbols that we assemble in a meaningful way to express ourselves and pass along information in a way that is intelligible to others. For example, English is a language with rules (grammar) that define how to put its symbols (words) together to form sentences, paragraphs, and, ultimately, books like the one you are holding. If you know the words and understand the grammar, you can read the book, even if you don't necessarily understand its contents.
An important difference between human and computer-based languages is that human languages are self-describing. We use English sentences and paragraphs to define how to create correct English sentences and paragraphs. Our brains are marvelous machines that have no problem understanding that you can use a language to describe itself. However, computer languages are not so rich and computers are not so bright that you could easily define a computer language with itself. Instead, we can define one language ? a metalanguage ? that defines the rules and symbols of another language.
Software developers can use a metalanguage to define the rules for defining a language and then define one or more languages based on those rules. The metalanguage also guides developers creating the automated agents that display or otherwise process the contents of documents that authors have created using that language.
The use of metalanguages has long been popular in the world of computer programming. The C programming language, for instance, has a set of rules and symbols defined by one of several metalanguages, including yacc. Developers use yacc to create compilers, which in turn process language source files into computer-intelligible programs (hence, its name: Yet Another Compiler Compiler). yacc's only purpose is to help developers create new programming languages.
XML is a metalanguage created by the W3C and used by developers to define markup languages such as XHTML. Browser developers rely on XML's metalanguage rules to create automated processes that read the language definition of XHTML and implement the processes that ultimately display or otherwise process XHTML documents.
Why bother with a markup metalanguage? Because, as the familiar proverb goes, the W3C wants to teach us how to fish so we can feed ourselves for a lifetime. With XML, there is a standardized way to define markup languages that are customized for different needs, rather than having to rely upon HTML extensions. Mathematicians need a way to express mathematical notations; composers need a way to present musical scores; businesses want their web sites to take sales orders from customers; physicians look to exchange medical records; plant managers want to run their factories from web-based documents. All these groups need an acceptable, resilient way to express these different kinds of information, so that the software industry can develop the programs that process and display these diverse documents.
XML provides the answer. Each content sector ? the business group, the factory-automation consortium, the trade association ? may define a markup language to suit its particular needs for information exchange and processing over the Web. Computer programmers can create XML-compliant processes ? parsers ? that read the new language definitions and allow the server to process the documents of those languages.
While there is no limit to the kinds of markup languages you can create with XML, displaying your documents may be more complicated. When you write HTML, a browser understands what to do with the <h1> tag because it is defined in the HTML DTD, and browsers have been programmed to display all standard HTML tags.
With XML, you might create a DTD for describing recipes. It would be a great way to capture and standardize all those kumquat recipes you've been collecting in your kitchen drawers. With special <ingredient> and <portion> tags, the recipes are easy to define and understand. However, browsers won't know what to do with these new tags unless you attach a style sheet that defines their handling. Without a style sheet, XML-capable browsers such as Internet Explorer 5 and 6 and Netscape 6 render these tags in a very generic way ? certainly not the flourishing presentation your kumquat recipes deserve.
An alternative to DTDs is XML Schemas. Schemas offer features related to data typing and are more programmatically oriented than document oriented. For more information, check out XML Schema by Eric van der Vlist (O'Reilly).
Even with style sheets, there are limitations to presenting XML-based information. Let's say you want to create something more challenging, such as a DTD for musical notation or silicon chip design. While describing these data types in a DTD is possible, displaying this information graphically is certainly beyond the capabilites of any style sheets we've seen yet; properly displaying this type of graphically rich information would require a specialized rendering tool.
Nonetheless, your recipe DTD is a great tool for capturing and sharing recipes. As we'll see later in this chapter, XML isn't simply about creating markup languages for displaying content in browsers. It has great promise for sharing and managing information, so that those precious kumquat dishes will be preserved for many generations to come. Just bear in mind that, in addition to writing a DTD to describe your new XML-based markup language, in most cases you will want to supplement the DTD with a style sheet.
In fact, it is possible to write XML documents using only a style sheet. DTDs are highly recommended but optional. See http://www.w3c.org/TR/xml-stylesheet/ for details.
To complete your education into the whys and wherefores of markup languages, it helps to know how all these markup languages came to be.
In the beginning, there was SGML, the Standardized Generalized Markup Language. SGML was intended to be the only markup metalanguage, from which all other markup languages would be created. Everything from hieroglyphics to HTML can be defined using SGML, negating the need for any other metalanguage.
The problem with SGML is that it is so broad and all-encompassing that mere mortals cannot use it. Using SGML effectively requires very expensive and complex tools that are completely beyond the scope of regular people who just want to bang out an HTML document in their spare time. As a result, other markup languages that are greatly reduced in scope and much easier to use have been created. The HTML standards themselves were initially defined using a subset of SGML that eliminated many of the more esoteric features. The DTD in Appendix D, uses this subset of SGML to define the HTML 4.01 standard.
Recognizing that SGML was too unwieldy to describe HTML in a useful way and that there was a growing need to define other HTML-like markup languages, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) defined XML. XML is a formal markup metalanguage that uses select features of SGML to define markup languages in a style similar to that of HTML. It eliminates many SGML elements that aren't applicable to languages like HTML and simplifies other elements to make them easier to use and understand.
XML is a middle ground between SGML and HTML, a useful tool for defining a wide variety of markup languages. XML is becoming increasingly important as the Web extends beyond browsers and moves into the realm of direct data interchange between people, computers, and disparate systems. A small number of people wind up creating new markup languages with XML, and many more people want to be able to understand XML DTDs in order to use all these new markup languages. | 2019-04-26T06:24:23Z | null | 296.7 | 7,689 | null | 0 | []

TeriBeri's Creations: 2011 DECEMBER DAILY!!!
BOO!!! I'm back hahahahahaha!!! The start of 2012 has been FABULOUS!! My FIL is better, I feel GREAT and my amazing hubby and wonderful children are doing awesome!! We are so blessed and grateful for everything the Lord gives us on a daily basis!!!
December was hard. We even had to call rescue for my FIL on Christmas night because his sugar dropped to 15!! It was VERY scary. The kids were crying, my husband was a wreck and after it all, I was drained. Trying to be the strong person in the family can take a toll on you. The creation of my December Daily was put on hold for a few weeks. I took pictures every day and jotted down things but this past Saturday I was finally able to complete it.
Here is the video of my December Daily. I was going to add pictures but it's just to many pages.
This year I will be creating a "weekly" Project Life album for my family. Taking the weekly approach will be easier for me instead of doing daily entries. I will share some weeks as I go. This album will also consist of some scrapbook layouts which I will incorporate throughout. You can find a video of my first layout for Project Life HERE.
Alright friends, I'll be back soon....I PROMISE!!!!
Your album is GORGEOUS!! What a lot of work. I love it all.
WOW, your album is gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful...love it. :) Glad to hear that your FIL is doing much better. I can't wait to see your PL pages.
WOW oh WOW! Sis that is amazing. I love everything about it, absolutely beautiful! Ethan says hi back to Auntie T. Love ya SIS.
This is gorgeous, I love it!!!!!!! You did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing!!!!!
What a gorgeous album. You should be very proud of all of your hard work and beautiful work. I am too intimidate to do one.
Gorgeous Teri. Loved your vid over on YT.
BEAUTIFUL and inspiring! Mostly I am glad you are back and your family is OK, especially your Father-in-Law! | 2019-04-24T20:52:28Z | null | 726.8 | 1,929 | null | 0 | []

We're an independent evangelical church in Isleham, Cambridgeshire, affiliated to the FIEC. We meet regularly Sunday morning and evening for worship and teaching, and have a range of midweek activities to meet the needs of different age groups.
Clearly, this is a very brief description and many visiting this site may want a fuller statement on our beliefs and doctrinal position. We have intentionally not put this on the home page simply because in the final analysis it is sufficient to say we are Bible believing Christians, and secondly because we do not want to confuse anyone visiting this site with theological terms, especially anyone who does not personally know and love the Lord Jesus Christ.
The founding indenture of the church that is now known as Pound Lane Free Church made on 7th May 1830 states the purpose of the church as "maintaining the Doctrine of the one living and true God. Three co-equal persons in the Godhead. Eternal and personal election. Original sin. Particular redemption. Free justification by the imputed righteousness of Christ. Regeneration. Conversion and Sanctification by the Spirit and grace of God. The moral law as a rule of life and conduct for all believers. The final perseverence of the Saints. The resurrection of the body to eternal life. The future judgement. The eternal happiness of the righteous and the everlasting misery of such as died impenitent, and practising Baptism by immersion to such as are of years of understanding upon their own confession of repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ." - We recognise (a) that this accords with sound doctrine, and (b) the legality of this document in defining the doctrinal position of this church. We gladly and wholeheartedly retain this doctrinal position today.
Pound Lane Free Church (otherwise known as plfc) is firstly an evangelical church. We use the word "evangelical" in the traditional historical sense. We believe unquestioningly in the full inspiration, inerrancy, authority and sufficiency of scripture in all matters of faith and practise. We totally reject any attempt to re-interpret scripture or to reject any part of scripture or its teachings now, or at any time in the future.
In saying that we are a "Free" church we again use that label in the historical church sense, meaning that we are non-denominational and free from any denominational direction or control. We operate as an independant church under the authority of God's Word and the direction of Holy Spirit.
Our affiliation to the FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches) is in recognition of our calling to enjoy fellowship with like-minded believers in a wider sphere than just the local church. The FIEC provides such a setting together with helpful advice to affiliated churches on legal matters etc. without in any sense becoming involved in local church government.
We believe that God's purpose in creation and salvation can be summarised in His sovereign design to create a people for His praise and glory whose delight and purpose is in Him. To this end, our great goal is to magnify and glorify God and His grace towards fallen sinners in Christ Jesus. Our desire is to lift Him up in how we view our salvation, our total dependence upon Him, and our life's goal of imaging Christ. In our theology and in our lives we want always to make much of Him and little of us.
Although we prefer not to use non-bibical labels seeing them as often unhelpful and unnecessarily divisive, we would be described as Reformed in our teaching. We believe totally in the sovereignty of God in all things (Psalm 135:5-6, 1 Tim 6:15-16, Acts 4:27-28) including every aspect of salvation (Acts 13:48, John 15:16, Eph 1:4 & 11, John 10:26, Romans 9:11-12). We equally believe that this is absolutely necessary since unregenerate man is totally unable to make any move towards God - he is spiritually dead in his trespasses and sin(Ephesians 2:1-5, Rom 5:6-10). We believe that Christ's work of atonement was complete in every sense (through penal substitution for sinners on the cross (Isaiah 53:4-5 & 10-12, Romans 8:3-4)) and has already secured the salvation in full for all who will, in time, be brought by God's Spirit to true repentance and faith (John 19:30, 1 Peter 1:18-21). We believe that once saved, a person cannot lose their salvation - they have 'passed over from death to life' and so will be preserved by God throughout the rest of their life through their perseverance in the faith (Ephesians 1:13-14, Romans 8:28-30, John 5:24, Romans 8:1).
We believe that the Bible teaches that God, who is all sufficient, had no need to make man. Rather He chose to make us solely for His good pleasure and glory. His purpose as revealed in Jesus Christ is to redeem for Himself a people who are to be for His glory and praise (Isaiah 43:6-7), a people whose delight and joy is in Him (Psalm 37:4, Psalm 71:23, Psalm 126:2-3). We believe that a person can only be truly happy when they discover their true purpose in imaging Christ, and that, only through a personal relationship in and through the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that such a relationship can only be entered into through true repentance of sin and personal faith in the atoning merit of the death of the Lord Jesus Christ and in that alone.
We believe that all churches are to be evangelistic and missionary focused. It is our great goal to make Christ known in the locality in which we are situated through individual witness, corporate events, and regular village-wide mailings as well as to evangelise in a wider sphere through mission support and the internet. We are actively involved in overseas mission through representation from selected mission organisations, visits, email and video links with a number of friends serving overseas, by financial giving, and by prayer. In addition to monies given specifically for mission, a minimum of 10% of all undesignated giving to plfc is used in overseas mission.
We currently use the ESV for public Bible readings and preaching. Pew Bibles are available in both normal and large print and we make it a practise to announce the page number before public reading.
In terms of collective worship, we recognise value in both old and modern hymns and spiritual songs provided that the theology contained in the song is faithful to God's Word and the words and setting conducive to expressing our praise to God. We project the words of all songs onto a screen, but also announce book numbers where the song is found in Songs of Fellowship for those who prefer to hold a book in their hands!
We believe that the Bible teaches a very clear equality in worth and standing between man and woman, but an equally clear distinction in role between the two. We reject all attempts being made in our generation to blur or remove any biblical distinctions whether it be in the church, society or within the family.
We fully recognise and respect the sincerity of those who follow any other religion, or belief system outside of Biblical Christianity but totally reject the idea that any such teaching can have any merit in reconciling man to God, or in proving any means of salvation. | 2019-04-23T10:22:02Z | null | 569.8 | 7,195 | null | 0.033356 | [

What does your ideal pre-workout meal consist of?
-how long before your workout do you eat?
for me, depending upon what bodypart I work (legs are much more difficult) I eat around 30-40g protein/70-100g Carbs pre workout (mix of slow/moderate/ & fast digesting) and I try to keep fat under 10g. I eat this about 1-2 hours preworkout.
Hey Layne, I just had a question on what you think of preworkout meals. I read alot of stuff by “so called experts” claiming you should eat within 3 hours of training because you can’t have blood going to your muscles and digestive system at the same time. But i’ve done this just to see how the workout felt and i didn’t like it at all. My muscles were flat and i just felt sluggish. I usually eat a good protein/carb meal about 30 minutes before i train and that’s when i feel the best. My muscles are full, and i feel very pumped and energetic. What’s your take on this Layne?
do you ever take in high gi carbs pre workout?
For the pre-workout meal (which is about 100-110 g Carbs for me), which is the better scenario?
I’ve been doing scenario 2 for some time and i think its unnecessary to have carbs that close to the workout. And if i start doing scenario 1, whats the best time to have that shake to reap benefit of citrulline malate… right before workout, T-minus 15 min, or T-minus 30 min??
Honestly, I think either one is fine.
Layne. I am a competitive athlete (baseball) and starting monday we will be having weights @ 6am (intense olympic lifts and complexes) as well as practice @ 2pm. What would be something I could eat when I wake up @ 5 30 that will be quick and provide sufficient energy to lift? I will sip ~ 6-8 scoops Xtend during training if that matters.
i would say some whey with dry oatmeal & a bannana into a blender and add cinnamon & PB.
Layne, What’s your take on my postwork out drink? I’m not cutting. My postwork out drink consists of 50g of isolate whey protein, 2 tbsp peanut butter, and 2tbsp of maltodextrin.
I would drop the peanut butter as aformentioned that will slow digestion; save the PB for later.
I want to start putting some weight back on and bringing my strength back up. So the first thing I wanted to do was add a P/WO shake back into the diet. I used to like using Good old ON Whey pro (2 scoops), dextrose (bout 75 grams). I would like to go back to that again and toss in some Creatine mono. I would throw in 10 grams of that to each shake. Any other suggestions or modifications? 1 scoop of pro? less dex? anything? or does that sound good. I’ll be keeping the rest of my day pretty low carb, I just figure post w/o is a good place to start introducing more.
well how much dextrose you add really depends upon several factors such as how long your workouts are & how much volume they have as well as how much you weigh and how many carbs you have preworkout. Also, how soon after your shake is your next meal with complex carbs? sorry for all the questions; I just like to get a good idea before doling out information.
Layne, how about if 45 min to an hour after post workout shake you are not hungry. Do I stuff food down? Is this normal?
What is best taken post workout? I take one banana + 1 cup of oats + 5 grams leucine + 30 grams of whey protein isolate. Is this okay? I have read that a combination of high GI and low GI is recommended. But also heard someone say that glycogen levels post workout arent depleted after working out as we used to think. So we don’t need high GI like dextrose or malto to bump our glycogen levels. What do you think?
I soon start a clinical in which I have to drive about an hour and a half to and from and thus my workout will not start till about 7 o’clock. I am following the guidelines for your precontest diet and want to know if you think I should do anything different as far as the post-workout meal with the low glycemic carbs being that I would be going to sleep shortly thereafter.
What is your view on carbs pre during and after training ? I see you like 20 to 30 grams after training. But now there are also lots of views on pre and during workout (fast) carbs ? WMS and vitargo are getting very popular you think they are better than malto or dextrose ?
20-30 immediately PWO; but about 20 minutes later i have about 100g of moderately fast digesting carbs.
What are you using for a workout shake these days? do you still have an endless supply of substance, or do you do something else?
When you are cutting do you follow the cut diet principles for the shake?
Are you still using a during workout shake of dextrose and BCAAs?
At one point you were, correct? Any particular reason you stopped?
Hey Layne, I just picked up Some Waxy Maize Startch today and was wondering about how to put it into my post workout nutrition. I’m a somewhat high volume guy, workouts lasting 60-75min. Then I do 10-15 minutes of cardio post workout… I’d been drinking a BCAA/creatine drink during my cardio in the past, and sometimes at the end of the workout if it was onthe long side. Should I just throw the BCAA’s and Creatine in the the Waxy Maize and wait until after the cardio is finished, chug that, and then drink my whey shake ont he drive home? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks dude.
I adopted your BCAA, 25g dextrose, and creatine PWO strategy and i follow that up with 100+ oat carbs with whey about 20 min later. Is 20 min too little time to wait? whats the ideal time to wait between those 2 meals?
For an endo/meso type, what are your thoughts on post workout carbs while cutting, like dextrose and WMS? Or should one keep blood sugar low and just have food after?
Layne, im 17 and, I have a small question about post workout supps. I take protein and cell tech postworkout, in a shake with pineapple juice, and two servings of yogurt. (im trying to bulk, im 6’4″, and its hard to add mass). There is approx. a SHITLOAD of sugar in the shake, between the yogurt and Cell tech. How much sugar do you recommend post.
You are the first person on this thread that I’ve ever seen tell someone to limit the SUGAR pwo to 50g where as every other piece of advice was to send blood sugar through the roof.
Well if you are young (under 18) and meso/ecto then maybe 75g may be helpful but in general insulin is not an anabolic hormone in non-growing adults. It does have a synergistic effect with protein however on protein synthesis, but it doesn’t take a ridiculous amount. As far as restoring glycogen goes, sugar will do it faster, but whole food will also do it, it will just take a bit longer.
I know this is has been talked about here but wanted to be sure this is ok. Taking 10G of pure Leucine with PWO Whey shake (not all 3 BCAAs free form) wont through off the balance of amino acids in the body? I mean the idea is to spike protein synthesis by spiking Leucine levels but I think you said you need the other aminos to “process” the Leucine. The reason I ask this I can get bulk L-Leucine cheaper than bulk BCAAs. I think I’m going to put it into capsules (000 or 00).
I was wondering what your opinion is on Milos sarcev’s theory of Shake comprised of EAA’s and BCAA’s with a carb source during the workout…which he says is the most anabolic time of day…ne comments or ideas of how this would be true or not?
I have a question for you regarding Post-Workout Nutrition. I am currently taking Universal Torrent PWO, but would like to make my own blend now. I am thinking about using Primaforce Carb Slam (2scoops=60grams). With 9 grams EAA’s, 35-40 grams Whey Protein Isolate, and 2 grams Citrulline Mallate. I was also thinking of adding in 5 grams of creatine monohydrate. If you could help me out with my PWO blend I would greatly appreciate your input. And if you have any other suggestions on additions or subtractions please let me know. I weigh 185 Pounds.
Anyways, here’s my question, I bring my PWO shake with me to the gym so the powder is already in it and then I fill up the shake with about 12-14 ounces of water. As I’m finishing the shake there is prob like 2-4 ounces of foam. Is this the wazy maize? Should I be concerned about not getting whatever that foam is down?? Anyway to fix this problem?
Whats your take on the idea of 2 post workout “meals”? some people take 25-50G of carbs with BCAA or CEE and then 20-30 mins later they take X amount of protein then wait an hour and get in a solid food meal. I guess being “traditional” or whatever one wants to call it, i always thought you put it all together in one “meal” i.e. BCAA, CEE, carbs, protein. then an hour later go and have your solid meal. is there any research or studies that benefit one over the other. | 2019-04-22T20:20:52Z | null | 894 | 8,637 | null | 0 | []

This custom Wordpress blog was built by someone else but I would really want to change the layout of the blog posts.
They are currently like this: IT recruitment ? Women in IT -Cognitive GroupThe Sharepoint, Dynamics AX & Dynamics CRM blog | Cognitive Group two columns, one is Facebook and Facebook followers and the other one is the blog post itself.
It is such a waste of space on the left, too much white space under the Facebook followers list.
I would want to make the blog post occupy all two columns. I know some CSS and HTML but I'm only basic in PHP. I can do it I just don't know where could I locate the function for this whether it is PHP or CSS. | 2019-04-21T10:23:57Z | null | 647 | 659 | null | 0 | []

The Human Form, simple yet subtly complex, always present yet hidden, expose your vision.
Our bodies: forbidden, subverted, suppressed. Our bodies: elevated, venerated, and sanctified. The human form is unceasingly beautiful, complex, and remarkable. It is one of the very few things that all of us has in common, and yet is a source of perpetual cultural, spiritual, and scientific dissension. What better proof of this diversity than through the Photographic Arts. The Human Form has been its eternally devoted, perpetual muse. The body insights love, loss, envy and greed, devotion and esteem.
I was honored to jury the images for "The Human Form", but given the number of strong submissions, it soon became evident how complex the task would become. I strove for diversity within the genre, often comparing similar images against one another where only minutia brought one to the forefront. But it is that minutia that makes images stronger...an attention to detail in lighting, the crop, or where shadows or highlights are placed. Other photographs, though often strong, weren't chosen because they were more about the process, location, or a compelling portrait that was less about the resulting human form. In the end, the "less is more approach" and those images that asked questions, comprised the final choices that make this exhibition.
Attention to details is why I chose "Strength" as the winner. The photographer was present in all aspects when he/she made the image. Just as those that received honorable mentions were present when they clicked the shutter. With so little information, in "Film Noir light through door", I can feel the rest of the person and I am curious; "She Breaches" finds the male/female in the same image; the honest gaze/gesture in "Addressed" haunted me; "Spider Girl" was again an image of conscious, elegant choices; and from experience I could respect how difficult it is to portray the beauty in "Sunrise". I learned a lot looking at these images. For the chance to see through the eyes of so many talented photographers, we should all be grateful.

A recent trip to Amsterdam found me recharging for a few hours at Droog, a light and lovely studio, cafe and hotel in the historical centre of this city known as “Venice of the North”. Crossing everyday objects with pleasing and functional art, Studio Droog is a beautiful space that offers well-designed and quirky pieces with the potential to turn any home into a modern gallery. Upstairs is a well-lit, stylish cafe serving a light savoury lunch, strong Dutch coffee, desserts and all important wi-fi. I liked everything about this space and it was certainly easy to settle in for a couple of hours to hide from the rain and catch up on work. If the Studio & Cafe are any indication, the rooms at Hotel Droog should give an equally modern and carefully-curated place to stay.
iAmsterdam introduced me to Droog Studio & Cafe while on a recent blog trip. All thoughts & photos are my own.
Loved Droog. I could spend a lot of money in that store – such great, unique things.
Definitely an interesting and inspiring space!
Definitely going to make a point of popping in to Droog on our next trip to A’dam. Looks like our kind of place – it’s got a cafe and cool stuff 🙂 Thanks! | 2019-04-25T11:50:21Z | null | 414.5 | 1,176 | null | 0 | []

THE GOD DAM is the story of one such convert: seventeen-year-old Tyler Rose, whose horrific childhood – and later indoctrination into Christian Fundamentalism – drives him to the brink of Niagara Falls, and a ‘leap of faith’ that he hopes will finally please his ‘Father in Heaven’.
When he opens his eyes, he is astonished to learn that he is not yet dead, but rather suspended in Limbo, where he is further surprised to meet his unborn twin, Angelina, who informs him that he still has time to change his mind – not about what he has done, but what he believes: About fathers, God, and most importantly, himself.
With Angelina’s inside knowledge and guidance, Tyler finally begins to recover from his abusive past, and comes to understand how religion – and its most fanatical believers – exploited and built on that abuse. But this knowledge, enlightening as it may be, is not enough to liberate him from his prison of beliefs. Before he can be truly free, and perhaps return to the realm of the living, he will need to confront – and somehow destroy – the most terrifying creation known to humankind, waiting for him in the darkness beyond The God Dam. | 2019-04-23T10:36:20Z | null | 259.2 | 1,156 | null | 0.954152 | [

The UK government is set to announce a complete ban on the sale of all petrol and diesel fuelled cars from 2040, when all vehicles must be fully electric.
A level 2 cold weather warning was issued by meteorologists at the Met Office Monday saying all parts of England should be braced for several days of prolonged temperatures.
Polluting vehicles will have to pay to enter special zones in the city centers of five major British cities under an air quality drive announced Thursday by the government.
All services of Eurostar were suspended Saturday due to smoke detection in the Channel Tunnel, Eurostar announced Saturday. | 2019-04-20T11:15:47Z | null | 425.8 | 625 | null | 0 | []

Even a somewhat controversial 115-113 scorecard in favour of Lee Selby wasn’t going to deny Leeds’ hometown favourite Josh Warrington from becoming their first world champion. With neither fighters carrying concussive one punch power, many predicted the fight would go the distance and so it did.
There was a lot of animosity and needle in the build-up, but once both men stepped in the ring, it was solely business and the bad blood was put to one side as the pair traded blows.
As expected, Warrington made a ferocious start on the front foot and controlled the pace and intensity of the fight. Bagging himself the first two rounds, it looked as if Selby was struggling to find his rhythm and deal with the relentlessness of the challenger. Selby was left with a nasty cut to his left eye after an accidental clash of heads during the second round. With blood pouring from Selby’s eye profusely and obscuring his vision, the defending champion appeared to be some discomfort and started to lose confidence in his work.
Warrington had Selby where he wanted him, employing bullish tactics at stages, catching Selby with ease. Warrington struggled to find his range in the third, and Selby started to have some success up close. The fourth was another round tough to split but again Selby seemed sluggish and whether the weight was having an effect on him, his punches didn’t seem to have much snap that we usually see from him.
The next three rounds were all Warringtons and with the cut above the eye deepening, referee Michael Alexander called upon the advice of the doctor to check whether Selby could continue. At this rate, a stoppage for Warrington seemed inevitable almost, but the man from Barry showed a huge amount of bravery to go the distance.
The margin began to widen, as Warrington found his range in the final rounds with the jab, and outclassed Selby who was beginning to show signs of desperation, knowing the fight was slipping away from him.
After twelve rounds of non-stop action, it went to the judge’s scorecards. An absurd 115-113 tally in favour of Selby left many at ringside shocked but when the other two judges scored the fight to Warrington 116-112 and 115-113 respectively, the words ‘And the New’ sent Warrington to his knees, realising his dream has become a reality.
With Carl Frampton at ringside, promoter Frank Warren gave credit to Warrington for a dominant performance and suggested there could be a potential fight between the pair at the end of the year if it doesn’t place in the summer at Windsor Park.
For Selby, it looks like a move up to Super-featherweight might be the best option moving forward after five consecutive world title defences at 126lbs and struggling to make the tight 9 stone limit. | 2019-04-23T02:58:27Z | null | 495 | 2,745 | null | 0 | []

Make this soup for days and nights when you don't want to have to think too hard. The comforting tomato broth and minced vegetables fondly remind us of canned tomato vegetable soups, with an upgrade of meaty and delicious Flourist Laird Lentils. Feel free to make adjustments to the broth and tomato juice ratio based on personal preference.
In a large soup pot add the olive oil, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and salt. Saute until vegetables are almost tender.
Add the canned tomatoes, diced potatoes, tomato juice, bay leaves, salt, dill, parsley, lentils, white pepper, black pepper, and the stock. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally until the lentils are tender but still somewhat firm (about an hour). Add water during the cooking method as needed, 3 to 4 cups is perfect.
Hi Deana! Yes this soup freezes great!
Hi there! Do you know if this freezes well?
Hi Fran! I have made it with tomato paste and Passata (and just adjusted the liquid) instead but didn’t love it quite as much. If you can find the tomato juice I highly recommend it!

On the 19th and 20th of September, we had the privilege of being asked to participate in the events surrounding the launch of the online digital versions of the diaries of Mr William Bulkeley (held at Bangor University Archives). The diaries represent an important source on the social history of Anglesey during the 18th century, but also contain daily observations on the weather. Events included a dramatization of the diaries played by actors of the ‘Cwmni Pendraw’ troupe, written and directed by Wyn Bowen Harries, who also played Mr Bulkeley himself. Music from the period, written by Stephen Rees and performed on traditional instruments, accompanied the play. After the performance, we presented a talk about research on historical weather and climate by the Climate Change Consortium of Wales (C3W). Vince (C3W outreach officer) produced a short film of the event which is now available online http://vimeo.com/107412330 .
Mr Bulkeley lived in Brynddu, Llanfechell on the isle of Anglesey, north Wales, from 1691 to 1760 and his diaries cover the years 1734 to 1760 (unfortunately the one covering 1743-7 is missing). According to the stories, he started writing them after he became a widower as a way to pass the time. And pass the time he did; he described the weather and social customs of the time at great length. It is said that not a day went by without Mr Bulkeley faithfully recording which way the wind blew. He also wrote about the markets and fairs, the size of the village, wages, football and his work as squire of Llanfechell and Anglesey Justice of the Peace. However Mr Bulkeley’s life was anything but ordinary to quote Wyn Bowen Harries: “William Buckeley’s life reads like a soap opera. His daughter married a pirate, his son died of alcoholism and his mother died falling under a ladder before being trampled by cattle.” (BBC, 21 September 2014).
On Friday (for local school children) and Saturday (for the general public), the events started at Mr Bulkeley’s house in Brynddu, which is to this day owned by one of his descendants, with a play based on the events described in his diaries. The actors and musicians then led the audience across a field towards Llanfechell church on a path that was taken regularly by Mr Bulkeley himself. In town the play resumed in Llanfechell Church which was built in the 12th century and still looks a lot like it did at the time of Mr Bulkeley. Once the performance was over it was off to Libanus Chapel across the road for our presentation on using proxy data including diaries, tree rings and seashells to reconstruct past weather. In the audience was James Scourse, Director of C3W and a specialist in sclerochronology (the science behind the use of seashells in climate reconstructions) who was nice enough to bring samples to pass about to the great delight of students and adults alike.
Mr Bulkeley’s diaries are one of our most important sources in identifying past weather events as they are relatively early, and cover an interesting period of quite variable conditions in the 18th century. 1740 is regarded as the coldest winter on record and it occurred after a period of relative warmth during the 1730s (Jones and Briffa, 2006). The consistent way Mr Bulkeley recorded the daily weather in his diaries and the fact that he rarely travelled means that we have a reliable and continuous record. Their transcription by Sue Walton, (commissioned by Llen Natur), which is freely available on the web, makes our job much easier. Looking at past weather through diaries is a complex undertaking but very rewarding as it allows you to put that event into a context. Not only do we find out about what the weather was but depending on the writer, we can also find out how people perceived that event, what effects it had on the local area and what responses were put in place. Combining various proxy data then allows us to reinforce our knowledge of weather events and the social responses surrounding them. However a question that often comes up with people working with written archives is what will be the archives of the future, who will replace Mr Bulkeley?
This blog promotes discussion of topics related to the project ‘Spaces of Experience and Horizons of Expectation: the implications of extreme weather events, past, present and future’. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council under their Care for the Future theme and running between December 2013 and December 2016, the project is developing a set of local and regional climate histories for the UK using information from archival records and oral histories. This blog explores the major themes of the research, documents notable periods of extreme weather in history and the present day, and provides updates on our research activities. Readers are also invited to share their memories of extreme weather events with the project team. | 2019-04-24T14:04:48Z | null | 409.5 | 4,884 | null | 0.029894 | [

Banbury Bulls did what they had to do to keep the pressure on Old Centralians in Wadworth 6X South West One East.
Dan Kirwin and Jack Briggs both bagged a brace of tries as Bulls saw off Trowbridge 62-12 at the DCS Stadium to remain third.
Callum Horne was held up but from the resulting scrum the backs switched the ball from one touchline to the other for Kirwin to cross in the corner.
Joe Mills kicked out of his own 22 and a mix-up in the Trowbridge defence resulted in a scramble to secure the ball. Mills snatched away possession and ran in untouched under the posts with Duncan Leese converting.
Trowbridge replied when Lee Fairclough broke through the Banbury line before off-loading to Wade Loftus who sprinted over in the corner.
Banbury’s third try might be one of the best of the season. Bulls overturned the ball in their own 22 and Tommy Gray cut his way through the Trowbridge defence before out-sprinting the covering defence to score in the corner.
Gray’s individual brilliance was followed by a superb team try. Justin Parker chipped and chased from his own 22 before shipping the ball on to Leese, who found Kirwin, he released Jacob Mills who got the ball to Briggs who went over.
After the restart, Pete Boulton reacted quickest from a line-out to drive through the Trowbridge pack to score in the corner and Ed Phillips converted from the touchline.
Leese extended the lead with another score following great work from Briggs who started the move before drawing the last man and Phillips converted. Good breaks from Ian Isham and Leese had the Trowbridge defence back peddling and Callum Horne took full advantage to cut his way through and Phillips converted.
Bulls added another score almost immediately when Jacob Mills stole a line-out, Nick Pratt gathered, smashed through the opposition defence before sprinting his way over from the edge of the 22.
Trowbridge got their second try with a good move from deep. Loftus broke down the left before off-loading to the supporting Fairclough who crossed the line and Tom Weaver converted.
From a five metre scrum the backs switched the ball quickly from one flank to the other and Kirwin dived over. Phillips converted before Bulls scored again in added-time, Leese broke the Trowbridge line and Briggs collected the pass before touching down under the posts. Phillips converted to make it 62-12 at the full-time whistle. | 2019-04-24T03:09:39Z | null | 715 | 2,393 | null | 0.048893 | [

Here at Morello Park, your children's safety is at the forefront of our minds and the decisions that we make. Our staff has been trained and informed on not only how to keep your children safe in the event of an emergency, but also what to do after an emergency.
Please note: in the event of an Emergency you MUST have a photo ID in addition to having the Reunification Card filled out. There will be absolutely no exceptions to this.

TIP: Just like your vehicle registration form, keep a pre-filled out Reunification card in the glovebox of your vehicle(s) as well as your emergency contact's vehicle, ready to grab and go.
Another way to ensure quick delivery of your child in the event of an emergency is to frequently check and update the Aeries Parent Portal several times a year, or any time a change is made to phone numbers, emergency contacts, etc.

The thousand dollar price point is important for prospective mountain bike riders. Many of the pros and enthusiasts tend to utilize bikes that come in at higher dollar values, but those that hover around (and sometimes far below) the $1k level tend to be great for beginners. These bikes tend to have all of the features that are typically perfect for someone who isn’t quite sure that they’ll be fully entering the sport of mountain biking.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at some great, sub-$1000 bikes for new mountain bikers. Some fold, some have exceptionally strong construction, and some even have larger wheels, but all are great starter bikes.
Hard tail bikes have been on the market for well over a century, and Diamondback’s Overdrive series of mountain bikes uses this technology to provide a great ride at a great value for beginners. Outside of its hard tail design, this mountain bike also uses a unique construction in its design. The bike itself is comprised of budded and shaped aluminum tubing that’s hollow. This ensures that it’s light and sturdy simultaneously. The tubes are angled and amazingly thin, so that you have a very responsive ride with this mountain bike.
In addition to this mountain-friendly construction, this bike has a Shimano three by eight rear drive train that will ensure that your ride is smooth and comfortable; even on hard terrain.
Our second bike, which is also a Diamondback mountain unit, utilizes a single pivot suspension system that makes it perfect for rough terrain and even moderate jumps. It has relatively thick 27.5 inch wheels that are designed to be able to provide a bit of padding while you navigate the trails. If you are new to mountain biking, this is a great entry-level full suspension unit that’ll help you get used to this type of riding.
Like the previous Diamondback unit, these tubes are formed and exceptionally sturdy. It also has a similar three by eight Shimano drive train in the rear. On top of this, Diamondback utilized a neutral geometry in this bike series, so that ascending and descending are relatively easy.
Our next Diamondback bike is designed with women in mind. Since women are typically shorter and have longer legs, it’s only sensible that some mountain bikes that are designed for men might not be as effective. Considering the statistical shape of women, Diamondback designed this bike to be easier to mount, and actually is designed for a shorter reach. With all this in mind, the manufacturer also designed this bike to be hard tail, so that it’s road-friendly and easy to maneuver.
The tubing on this bike is comprised of strong, yet light formed alloy. Amazingly, the company even designed the touch points of this bike with women in mind. Wherever your body typically comes in contact with the bike is a touch point, so the areas around the seat, pedals, and grips are all designed with women in mind.
As a full suspension bike, the Mongoose Impasse is great for beginners who are just starting out on their first few mountain trails. The composition of this bike is aluminum, so that the product is light yet sturdy enough to take the constant dings that can happen during mountain biking. As you’ll be changing gears a lot on a trail, this Impasse bike utilizes a 21 speed Shimano rear derailleur with SRAM twist shifters, so that you’ll be able to maneuver and adjust.
The suspension on this bike is designed to reduce the impact of bumps and even some decent jumps. You’ll also find that this bike is very easy control. With this bike you’ll have exceptional functionality, for a very low price point.
For the beginner mountain biker, the sport can be something that takes a while to commit to. With this in mind, Montague designed the Paratrooper so that you can take it on the road and fold it up for convenience. When deployed, the bike is relatively small, but still very capable of handling rugged mountain terrain. It only weighs about 29 pounds, which is getting down into the fixie bike weight range, so carrying it while folded is a relatively easy process.
When it comes to mountain bike features, this foldable bike has several that make it eligible for our “best of” list. First, it has a 24 speed drive train that is great for mountain biking. In addition to this, it uses both front and rear disc brakes, so that you’ll be able to stop on a dime. It even features full suspension, so that you’ll be able to travel over rough terrain without too much discomfort.
As a full suspension mountain bike, this Gravity FSX has a bevy of features that are perfect for the beginner mountain biker. First among these is the safety features. This bike has excellent front and rear disc brakes that will help you stop quickly, especially in emergency situations. These are also perfect for controlling your ascent or descent when you are riding on a rocky trail.
The entry-level dual suspension that is featured on this bike is perfect for loose terrain and rocky outcrops. In addition to this, this bike also features 24 speed gear shifts, which is the current maximum speed on the market today. The Shimano drive train is responsive and easy to control, even at high speeds.
Our final Diamondback bike is another in the Overdrive series of mountain performers. This bike is hard tailed and features several great additions to the Overdrive series. These include tetra-hydraulic disc brakes that are some of the most responsive on the market currently. In addition to this, there is a lockout lever on the four inch fork that makes climbing up flats a more efficient process.
The composition of this bike features some of the great Overdrive features including the hollow budded and shaped aluminum tubing, which makes the device lightweight and sturdy. Shifting is also a cinch with Shimano Altus shifters and a Shimano Acera rear derailleur that provides 27 shifting options. In addition to all this, this bike features large-diameter wheels that help absorb some of the impact of the trail.
Vilano has produced some of the best trail-worthy mountain bikes in the last decade. Their Ridge 2.0 series of bikes have all of the features a beginner needs in order to get out on the trail and acquire the experience needed to become adept at mountain biking. Firstly, this is a light bike. It’s comprised of double butted aluminum that is strong enough to take the biggest hits, but only weighs about 41 pounds in totality.
The four inch suspension fork also features a lockout lever system that will allow you to easily manage terrains that would be difficult for other mountain bikes. For maximum control and stopping, this Vilano bike also features mechanical disc brakes that’ll help you stop nearly instantaneously.
Mongoose, a formerly retail only brand, has now branched into the direct to consumer market. The first thing that a neophyte mountain biker might notice about this unit is the fact that this has fat tires. Fat tire bikes allow for more impact resistance and in conjunction with this bike’s excellent suspension. One of the standout features of this bike is its Shimano SLX front and rear derailleurs that offer ten speed options.
This is also a very light bike; it only weighs about 35 pounds. Mongoose utilized an alloy frame with 93mm rims with cutouts in order to cut down on overall weight. The four inch Vee Mission tires are thick and springy enough for most terrains and the disc brakes will provide excellent stopping power for this fat bike.
Our final mountain bike has design accents that were clearly designed for new mountain bikers who want to own a unit that also has aesthetics in mind. It has an aluminum frame that is somewhat heavy, but also sturdy enough to take some of the big falls that sometimes come with off-trail biking. This is a great bike for general riding, but it definitely has some mountain/trail-friendly construction that’ll help you cut your teeth in the sport.
The front suspension is a Cromoly Rigid 1 1/8″ that will absorb a lot of impact and provide a smooth ride. The brakes are front forged alloy linear pull with a front power modulator, which gives you great control, especially when you need to stop suddenly.
We have loads of really useful buying guides when it comes to bike. So if you’re looking for other types of bike and accessories, then please have a look at the links below.

My students are currently in a personal narrative unit. Last week we worked on rough drafts, this week they are polishing those up to become their final drafts. As always, I wrote along side them. I told my students to pay attention to the story that was begging to be told. I knew what mine was - swimming.
After being on swim team for years, and swimming off and on since the early 90s, I have found regular swimming once again. Once or twice a week - sometimes more - I head to the nearby town and go to the Y. I love the Y. I love the whiteboard with a positive message before the locker room. I love the people that work at the front desk. I love the older ladies that swim and tell me that I'm doing a good job. I love the college swimmers that I shared a lane with Sunday. My dearest wish is that there was a Y in my town, but there isn't, so I drive the 20+ miles and head there to unwind.
At any rate, my personal narrative about swimming was the story asking to be told. Here it is, a slice of my life. I can't wait to read my students stories this week.
I slammed the locker shut, spinning the combination before walking away. My feet made a slapping noise against the floor as I hit the puddles left by swimmers from earlier in the day. It looked like an afternoon rain storm had moved through the locker room. Taking a deep breath, I pushed through the door and walked on to the pool deck.
I started swimming at an early age. At first, I hated putting my head under water. It made my eyes hurt. My swim instructor tried to be tricky and would ask me to pick up rings off the bottom of the pool, necessitating me to put my head other. I would have none of that, and instead would grasp the rings with my toes, bring it to my hand, and avoid the dreaded dunk of my head. One day, though, I finally did it. I remember putting my head under, looking around, and wondering why I had a made a big deal about this for such a long time. I became a swimmer and never looked back.
In grade school and high school, I swam. Swim team was where everything else melted away. No one could bother me in a pool. Noise evaporated. Problems disappeared. I would pull myself up and down the lanes, lap after lap, and find my true self in the water.
Coming back to the pool deck, I scanned the lanes. The Y was busy today. The afternoon light was slanting through the windows, shining down on the eight lane lap pool. I quickly jumped into lane four, asking the older man standing in it if he wanted to split the lane.
“You okay with taking the right, I’ll take the left?” he asked.
I nodded and pulled my pink goggles over my eyes. Taking a deep breath, I dropped below the water, my legs pushing off against the wall. Woosh. Bubbles shot by me as my arms reached out. I surfaced and then began to pull through the water, arms slicing through like a knife.
The rhythm soothed my brain. As the number of laps racked up, stress left my body. In the pool I wasn’t forty-two, mother of two, teacher to many. In the pool I was my true self, the person I remembered from thirty years ago. Here I was home. I was doing this just for me.
Every five laps, I’d take a break and look at my time. I exhaled in frustration. I had began swimming again in July. Then it took me an hour to swim 20 laps. Now I was down to just under thirty minutes, but it still felt slow. Where was the speed from years ago? How long until I felt like I was getting it?
“You bet I did,” he replied. “Any day I am out here, doing the work, I consider it a win.” With that, he pushed off and kept swimming.
I paused, letting his words sink in. I was out here doing the work. That should be enough. My swim partner was right, I was being ridiculous.
Pulling my goggles back on, I glanced to my right. Lanes five through eight were taken up with the Heat swim team. I watched the kids race up and down the lanes, high fiving their friends, slipping back underwater with ease. I miss those days, but realized with a smile that I am grateful to be exactly where I am. I love my life and am deeply grateful to have reconnected with this sport I love.
With a deep breath I dropped back underwater, pushing off from the walls, and began again.
Du Iz Tak? is crazy good. Like going in my Mock Caldecott wish list kind of good. Ditto to Snow White and We Found a Hat. Heck, several on this list are unreal, they just rock.
Ashes was beautiful. If you haven't read the first two in the trilogy - Chains and Forge, well, go out and get them. Stop reading this post. They are unreal. We've waited, and waited, and waited for this final book. It was worth it. My favorite part was putting it on my easel one day. A former student who I don't even have this year popped in to say hi, then screamed when she saw it. She asked if she could have it, which of course I gave it to her. Then it was returned, only to have a similar impact on another student the next day. She has it now. I freaking love this series.
And, not exactly related, my students have been busy. You can find them sharing the reasons they write for the national day on writing here.
And a few of them sharing book recommendations on Voices From the Middle's podcast here.
Inspiration can come in many forms. I'm inspired on a daily basis by my husband, parents, colleagues, students, and - importantly - my sons.
Today I shared with my three classes of seventh graders one of my favorite picture books, Last Stop on Market Street. I love this world that Matt de la Peña lets us into. I love the illustrations Christian Robinson creates. We read it as part of our personal narrative unit. I want my students to see that stories are all around us. After each mentor text, we're doing a quick write. Kids can write about what the story was about, something it inspired, a poem they create after hearing it, anything. I put the timer on for three minutes and write with them, projecting my notebook under the document camera as my pen flies across the page. I never plan out what I'm going to write, and it's a different entry with each class, but it's always whatever is on my heart.
CJ's nana looks for the good in everything, and I admire that quality in others. One of the people I see this in, that I look up to myself, is my son, Liam.
Liam found out yesterday that he didn't make the basketball team he tried out for. He had worked hard after being cut last year, put in many hours, but it just didn't work out.
I admire Liam greatly for the simple fact that he continues to persevere. That he pushes himself to try again in the face of failure. That upon being told that he didn't make it he immediately asked if he could join the YMCA's team again and quickly said that he hoped his friends had made the team.
On a daily basis, Liam looks for the positive in life, just like CJ's nana. He finds good in what could be seen as bad. Each and every day I try to just be a little more like him.
My students were quiet when I shared my story, Liam's story. I asked them not to flood him with comments about how they wished he made the team, or that they were sorry he hadn't, because I knew he wouldn't want that. He had been sad last night, but he was over that today and wanted to move on. What I wanted was for them was to see how we can use books to connect, to teach us who we can become, to remind us of the good in others. My boys often inspire me, and I love to show that to my students. All too often kids think we don't notice them, but I see the good in others through their daily actions. I hope they can see that in me too.
Liam after school today, back at it.
Hmm, a bit behind. I attended IRC's annual conference on September 29th and 30th September 30th I posted reflections from day one and now it's...October 9th. Oops. I had good intentions for day two's reflection, but the past week has gotten in the way.
We began on the 30th with an early morning (6am) drive to Peoria so we could start our day with Jason Reynolds. I've read several of Jason's books with Ghosts being the most recent one. My students loved it, even if Lizzie wasn't thrilled with the ending.
I wanted to hear Jason, meet him if I had a chance, so that I could bring that back to my students. I unfortunately didn't get a chance to meet him, but was spellbound by his quiet stories for sixty minutes. Listening to Jason talk about the influence of poetry on his life, of Langston Hughes and Queen Latifah, of the poetry of hip hop music, of the beauty of allowing yourself to be you, I was swept away.
Jason is not someone I'm going to forget anytime soon. I want to surround myself with every book he has written, soak in the words, and grow from there.
Then we headed over to see my wonderful friend, John Schumacher, give a presentation on being reading ambassadors. I love John's enthusiasm for children's literature. I am always struck by the positive message that exudes from every bit of him. I smiled as he shared favorite titles and scribbled down any I didn't know. What a fabulous way to spend an hour.
Our last two sessions were with Kelly Gallagher. He had a session before lunch about reading and one after lunch about writing. I loved how he has his students examine articles for bias. He asks them what the passage says and what it doesn't say. He went into this over and over. I think it is of critical importance. My students tend to believe anything they read, they don't pause to think about bias or persuasion. Heck, judging from my Facebook news feed, adults don't really think about this either. It infuriates me. Critical thinking seems to have gone the way of the dodo. I want to bring it back. These two questions, What does it say? What it doesn't say?, are going to be ones I incorporate into the Article of the Week.
Our seat to hear Kelly the first time, the floor.
In writing, Kelly talked about the four things students need to be better writers: volume, choice, modeling, and conferring. Writing is an area I need to grow this year, so this was good for me to hear. I did quick writes all the time in fifth grade, but I've gotten lazy about them in 7th, only doing two a week. Heading back to daily ones next week. I loved how Kelly graded those - he collects notebooks after a certain amount of quick writes. There's a list on the board of the ones they've done since the last collection. You get points for each being present in your notebook, but then you put a post-it on the one you want him to read. Love it.
Beyond that, I cannot wait until the book he and Penny Kittle are working on comes out. Sounds like it will be amazing.
And that wraps up two days of learning! I'm so grateful my district recognizes the benefit to attending conferences like IRC and NCTE. Each time I go I'm not only rejuvenated, but ready to try something new in my classroom. What a blessing!
When I was asked if I wanted to be part of the blog tour for Gertie's Leap for Greatness, I said an immediate yes. My schedule is insane, scheduling posts right now is a nightmare, but this book has my heart. Anytime an author can get a first line like this, I'm in love.
Then there are the characters - enemies with names like Mary Sue Spivey, loyal friends like Junior, and family like Aunt Rae with her, "Give 'em hell, baby." And then there's Gertie.
Gertie is a character I wanted to pull close, give her a hug, and watch her take on the world. Her mom decided she didn't want to be a mom when she was young, but still lives in the same town. Now that her mom has put her house on the market, Gertie has decided she needs to be the best fifth grader in the universe to prove that she doesn't need her mom. Unfortunately there are people like Mary Sue standing in the way. At her core, Gertie is a loyal, kind, and proud kid. She reminds me of my favorite character growing up - Ramona. I loved this story with everything in me.
MacMillan was kind enough to send me two copies of the book - one for myself, and one for someone who is "great like Gertie." In their words, someone who goes above and beyond to be great, not just for themselves. (And if they happen to love kids books, so much the better.) Well, I'm thrilled to pass a copy on to my colleague, Leigh Anderson.
Leigh absolutely loves kids books, her Facebook feed shows what she's reading on a regular basis. She champions fabulous books and shares them with her sixth graders. What also makes Leigh "great like Gertie" is her love of dogs, specifically King Charles Cavaliers. We share a love for the breed, but Leigh has gone above and beyond. She's had many of these wonderful dogs, some from rescues. Her heart and love for animals could fill our school and I am certain she will love Gertie if she hasn't read it yet.
Gertie's Leap to Greatness was released this week. Go check it out!
YIKES! Somehow I didn't share what I was reading on my blog even once in September. Not sure how that happened. I think in starting a new grade level this year I've been a bit more busy, a bit more preoccupied, than I realized. My goal this year was to share every book I read here, to have a record of it. So, without further ado, here is my September reading round up.
Here's what I love in reflecting back over this month of reading. I can see my new job in it - the tons of romance books early in the month, the new favorite YA books of Stand Off and Draw the Line. But I can also see the books I've read for the past 20 years in education at the elementary level - the picture books that I still bring into my new 7th grade classroom, the copy of Dog Man that I bought because I knew some kids would love to see it, Raina's Ghosts, etc.
I've absolutely slowed down on my reading since the summer, but still managing to squeeze in a bit here and there. I'm currently reading Bird by Crystal Chan in preparation for an author visit. It is wonderful so far. | 2019-04-22T04:43:16Z | null | 353.7 | 13,829 | null | 0 | []

The habit of Beginning with the End in Mind was introduced 25 years ago by Dr. Stephen R. Covey in his groundbreaking bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. In our latest point of view, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Sales Leaders: Habit 2 – Begin with the End in Mind, we discuss how this principle of leadership can help you take charge of what you create and make you more likely to achieve it.
I’ve talked with hundreds of sales leaders who’ve said, “I wasn’t trained to be a sales leader. I was just a good individual contributor hitting my numbers, and someone asked me to take on this role. I didn’t get the role because I was already a great leader.” A powerful first step in becoming one is to define your End in Mind by developing a mission statement.
Whether you’ve just been promoted to sales leader or you’ve been one for many years, the habit of beginning with the End in Mind involves setting your own goals and intended accomplishments, identifying the roles you play, fixing your priorities, and then sharing those frequently with your team. This is a best practice for success whether you’re leading a small salesforce or a larger regional organization, or you’re in a more senior sales executive role. Then periodically re-center to your mission to make sure you’re still on track.
It seems so old-school. But the inarguable fact is there are always two creations to everything you see or experience. The first creation happens in your mind—it’s where you envision what you want to accomplish. And the second is when you align your actions to your imagination.
Nothing happens without those two creations. If you ignore this principle, it’s essentially the same as passively letting everyone and everything else around you decide what you will be and what you will do.
Furthermore, it’s surprisingly easy to drift away from what’s most important to you. When your mission is written down and you review it frequently, it becomes a personal constitution—the benchmark against which you measure your actions and decisions. It helps ensure you don’t drift unnoticeably off course, just as an airplane can be blown off course unless the pilot (or computer) makes adjustments to arrive at the right airport.
There’s power in envisioning what you intend to accomplish and even more so when you write it down, whether you call it a “mission,” a “purpose,” or anything else. Research shows that you are 42 percent more likely to achieve your goals just by writing them down.
But how do you go about developing a mission statement? You can’t just go to an offsite and bang it out in half a day wedged between other agenda items. Among other things, a mission statement should be aspirational and inspirational—and it should be realistic. In our experience that takes time, including soak time. FranklinCovey has created a mission-statement builder that walks you through the process.
You may decide to create both a professional (team) and an individual mission statement. It’s a good idea to have your team contribute to your team’s mission statement—when there’s no sense of contribution, there’s no commitment.
I drafted a personal mission statement a few years ago and writing this reminded me to check it and see how much I’ve drifted. It’s interesting—and alarming—to realize how easily old habits creep back in.
Social situations or day-to-day pressures can cause us to behave in certain predictable ways, and unless you periodically check yourself against what you envisioned, chances are good you’ll drift from your blueprint.
Stephen Covey used to teach the principle of Beginning with the End in Mind every week. No matter where he was in the world, he would review his goals each week in the context of his mission statement. He set goals for each of the roles he played. And he reviewed his mission statement periodically to make sure his day-to-day actions and decisions were aligned to his mission. He also occasionally and purposefully changed his mission as the context of his life changed, sometimes affected by major events. Don’t hesitate to update or change your mission statement.

It happened in the first half of Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks, when Atlanta scored 68 points on 56.1 percent shooting. The Heat then limited the Hawks to 47 points on 38.5 percent shooting over the final two quarters.
How does the Heat explain its inconsistency issues?
“We just zone out,” Richardson said. “We just go through periods of time where we’re not doing what we’re supposed to be doing, and it’s cost us quite a few games. I think if we can cut those lulls out, I think our record will start evening out.
For Wade, it’s about learning from the bad stretches.
Heat guards Goran Dragic (right knee) and Tyler Johnson (right hamstring strain) are expected to miss Friday’s home game against the Pelicans. It would mark the sixth consecutive game Dragic has missed and the fifth consecutive game Johnson has missed with their respective injuries.
Dragic did practice Thursday, though, and he is nearing a return. But Johnson will be out for at least another week, according to a team spokesman.
Forward Justise Winslow (right knee contusion) is listed as probable for Friday’s contest. The Heat remains without Dion Waiters (left ankle surgery). | 2019-04-23T02:24:28Z | null | 735.2 | 1,151 | null | 0 | []

The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) measured at Amsterdam Island, in the southern Indian Ocean, was found to exceed the symbolic value of 400 ppm1, or 0.04% in May this year. The recorded concentrations of CO2 at the Amsterdam Island research station are globally considered to be the lowest (not taking into account the seasonal cycles), because of the remoteness of the island from anthropogenic sources. During the winter of 2012/2013, the 400 ppm threshold was already crossed in the Northern hemisphere.
There also seems to be a rapid increase in the CO2 present in the air, and this has been annually shooting up to more than 2 ppm over the past four years. For the past 35 years, the data has been recorded at the Amsterdam Island research station by the French national observation service ICOS-France at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE, CNRS / CEA / UVSQ)2, with the support of the Institut Polaire Français Paul-Emile Victor (IPEV).
Amsterdam Island is one of the 30 stations in the WMO3 global network for observing the composition of air, and the region is also treated as a reference site for atmospheric chemistry in the Southern hemisphere. The measurements performed here are used to control variations in greenhouse gases like N2O, CH4, and CO2 and also to quantify the role of Southern Ocean as a carbon sink in a much enhanced manner. This is carried out at an observatory owned by the French national observation service ICOS-France4, currently organized by Ramonet and Marc Delmotte, researchers at the LSCE (CNRS / CEA / UVSQ). The observatory is capable of drawing on expertise from LSCE's, and has received support from IPEV since its establishment in 1981. Civic service volunteers are responsible for maintaining the facility.
Fort the past 35 years, consistent measuring of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has been executed. For the very first time, it went beyond 400 ppm in May 2016. The CO2 value that was recorded by the observatory highlighted extremely less seasonal variation (<1 ppm), and this refers to the fact that the increase observed is symbolic of the long-term trend.
CO2 concentrations have increased from 339 to 400 ppm (+18%) since 1981, and this is considered to be an average increase of 1.75 ppm annually. Researchers have also recorded higher increase rates over the past years. There seems to be a growing increase of CO2 in the atmosphere because of the yearly increase rate analyzed, which indeed was 1.30 ppm in the 1980s, and is currently more than 2 ppm every year since 2012.
In winter 2012/2013, the 400 ppm value was already found to exceed at monitoring stations located in the Northern hemisphere. Hence, going beyond the 400 ppm threshold at Amsterdam Island highlights the fact that this value has been obtained over the entire planet. | 2019-04-21T20:50:34Z | null | 548.9 | 2,859 | null | 0 | []

This weekend sees the release of "The Purge: Anarchy," a horror-thriller set in an America where once a year all crime is legal for 12 menacing hours.
It might be darkly fun to imagine what you might do if the law would allow. Perhaps you'd loot your favorite store? Or at long last punch out that bully from grade school? But in reality how many of us could actually get through a night when murder was not only allowed, but encouraged? To answer this query, we've created this handy flowchart that spells out exactly how likely you are to survive the annual Purge. | 2019-04-22T04:41:59Z | null | 589.1 | 566 | null | 0 | []

jUploadr, the Java-based Flickr upload tool for GNU/Linux, has just been updated to version 0.5. I tested a preliminary version of this for Steve, and it successfully uploaded ~200 images in one go. It now supports batch operations, default tags, streamlined error handling, and a lot more. Version 0.5 also includes OSX support.
This is exactly the tool I was looking for! Thanks Steve! | 2019-04-25T06:30:13Z | null | 797.9 | 387 | null | 0 | []
