Are you searching for the perfect Father's Day gift? Gosh, isn't it hard to find something fun and unique for the men in your life? The guys in my life just go out and buy something if they "need" it. That makes gift buying extremely difficult and let's be honest frustrating.

Supporting Communities & Business
It is easy to think of a National Park as wide, near empty landscapes, but the South Downs National Park is the most populated National Park in the UK, with 112,000 people living here and over 2 million living within 5 kilometres of its boundary. Our vibrant towns and villages are one of our special qualities and we are working hard to support the villages and towns in and around the National Park to enhance the vital role they play as social and economic hubs.
There are an estimated 7000 businesses located in the National Park providing employment for more than 58,000 people and contributing to both the local and regional economy.
We are looking at a number of ways to provide support to communities:
- We have worked with partners to create a shared identity for the National Park itself to enable the businesses and communities to benefit from being within it and to encourage more sustainable behaviour from those who enjoy using the National Park.
- We are working with the Government initiative to extend the proposed coverage of high-speed broadband into the more rural parts of the National Park.
- We are supporting 46 communities across the National Park to develop neighbourhood plans.
- We provide small grants to community groups through our Sustainable Communities Fund. For more information please contact the External Funding Co-ordinator on 01730 819219 or email: firstname.lastname@example.org.

I have a rookie level question. I am trying to run a transient simulation and I need a "multi-tones sine input". Like Vin=A1*sin(w1*t)+A2*sin(w2*t)+A3*sin(w3*t).
I find Vsin but that only have one tone.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve a multi-tone sine signal?

Autonomous car technology has made enormous advances within the past decade, yet as far as the technology has come, these developments are not without their challenges when inclement weather comes into play. Fog, snow, and ice can reduce visibility making the road and ground markings hard to see, something WaveSense, a startup based in Greater Boston, is working to overcome.
In this feature video, WaveSense CTO, Byron Stanley, describes how the team is using radar technology with MATLAB to create a subterranean map, enabling vehicles to be located with centimeter-level accuracy. These vehicles are given a new way to “see”, even when the road isn’t visible to the human eye.

After spending some time in Vero we headed to a resort outside of Orlando with Mom and Dad McCloud and Grandmama and Grandad Willis. It was a great few days of spending quality time together and relaxing. The resort was right on a couple golf courses. This was the view from our room. Isaiah LOVED to watch the golfers play. At first he was calling them hockey players, we had to teach him “golf” and “golf players”. One morning he woke up early and hung out with Nana and Grandad and they taught him “golf cart”. This was the next most exciting thing to see from our veranda. There were also some wild turkey’s wandering the course, he loved to see them as well.
Eating breakfast overlooking the golf course. Life is good! The resort had three great pools and we enjoyed them fully. Ready, set, throw! Again and again and again.Some people hung out beside the pools and had some quality time with Brielle.
Great grandparents with their only great grandchildren. They were excited to show us a hotel that they know very well and have spent a lot of time at. Isaiah loved the pools and we did too. One day Jon and I even got away for a game of tennis and a swim with just the two of us while Nana and Grandad watched the kids.The whole group of us.

Intel’s NUC mini PCs have been around for a while, but the barebones aren’t selling all that well for a variety of reasons. First of all they don’t come cheap. Connectivity may be a problem, as most models don’t even feature USB 3.0. In addition, NUCs are limited to mSATA drives. This means you can’t reuse your old 2.5-inch HDD or SSD in a NUC.
However, Intel now appears to be rolling out slightly thicker NUCs that can accommodate 2.5-inch drives. According to Ars, the new NUCs are about 12.5mm taller than the original models. The extra room was put to good use, as the top of the unit now has a standard 9.5mm 2.5-inch bay. This means it can handle big 2.5-inch drives up to 1TB in capacity. You still can’t use huge 15mm drives, but there are relatively few of them on the market anyway.
Since the new 2.5-inch bay was basically added on top of the existing design, the mSATA port is still there. In other words, you can still use a small SSD as a system drive and add a 1TB or 500GB hard drive for storage. This is not the case with most nettops and mini PCs, as they tend to have a single 2.5-inch bay.
The “new” NUC also features Smart Response technology which allows you to use small SSDs as a cache drive for the HDD. Rapid Start is on board, too, and it should help the system wake up from hibernation a bit faster, provided you are using both drives.
The taller NUCs are expected to be about $10 more expensive than standard models. This is a relatively small premium all things considered. Hopefully Intel will add USB 3.0 support to all upcoming models, including entry level SKUs. This has been a problem with Intel rigs for ages and it is rather annoying. AMD added USB 3.0 support ages ago and even the cheapest Brazos-based nettops had it three years ago.

LAW, n. [L. lex; from the root of lay. See lay. A law is that which is laid, set or fixed, like statute, constitution, from L. statuo.]1. A rule, particularly an established or permanent rule, prescribed by the supreme power of a state to its subjects, for regulating their actions, particularly their social actions. Laws are imperative or mandatory, commanding what shall be done; prohibitory, restraining from what is to be forborn; or permissive, declaring what may be done without incurring a penalty. The laws which enjoin the duties of piety and morality, are prescribed by God and found in the Scriptures.Law is beneficence acting by rule.2. Municipal law, is a rule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power of a state, commanding what its subjects are to do, and prohibiting what they are to forbear; a statute.Municipal or civil laws are established by the decrees, edicts or ordinances of absolute princes, as emperors and kings, or by the formal acts of the legislatures of free states. Law therefore is sometimes equivalent to decree, edict, or ordinance.3. Law of nature, is a rule of conduct arising out of the natural relations of human beings established by the Creator, and existing prior to any positive precept. Thus it is a law of nature, that one man should not injure another, and murder and fraud would be crimes, independent of any prohibition from a supreme power.4. Laws of animal nature, the inherent principles by which the economy and functions of animal bodies are performed, such as respiration, the circulation of the blood, digestion, nutrition, various secretions, &c.5. Laws of vegetation, the principles by which plats are produced, and their growth carried on till they arrive to perfection.6. Physical laws, or laws of nature. The invariable tendency or determination of any species of matter to a particular form with definite properties, and the determination of a body to certain motions, changes, and relations, which uniformly take place in the same circumstances, is called a physical law. These tendencies or determinations, whether called laws or affections of matter, have been established by the Creator, and are, with a peculiar felicity of expression, denominated in Scripture, ordinances of heaven.7. Laws of nations, the rules that regulate the mutual intercourse of nations or states. These rules depend on natural law, or the principles of justice which spring from the social state; or they are founded on customs, compacts, treaties, leagues and agreements between independent communities.By the law of nations, we are to understand that code of public instruction, which defines the rights and prescribes the duties of nations, in their intercourse with each other.8. Moral law, a law which prescribes to men their religious and social duties, in other words, their duties to God and to each other. The moral law is summarily contained in the decalogue or ten commandments, written by the finger of God on two tables of stone, and delivered to Moses on mount Sinai.
Ex. 20.9. Ecclesiastical law, a rule of action prescribed for the government of a church; otherwise called canon law.10. Written law, a law or rule of action prescribed or enacted by a sovereign, and promulgated and recorded in writing; a written statute, ordinance, edict or decree.11. Unwritten or common law, a rule of action which derives its authority from long usage, or established custom, which has been immemorially received and recognized by judicial tribunals. As this law can be traced to no positive statutes, its rules or principles are to be found only in the records of courts, and in the reports of judicial decisions.12. By-law, a law of a city, town or private corporation. [See By.]13. Mosaic law, the institutions of Moses, or the code of laws prescribed to the Jews, as distinguished from the gospel.14. Ceremonial law, the Mosaic institutions which prescribe the external rites and ceremonies to be observed by the Jews, as distinct from the moral precepts, which are of perpetual obligation.15. A rule of direction; a directory; as reason and natural conscience.These, having not the law, as a law to themselves. Rom. 2.16. That which governs or has a tendency to rule; that which has the power of controlling.But I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Romans 7.17. The word of God; the doctrines and precepts of God, or his revealed will.But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Ps. 1.18. The Old Testament.Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? John 10.19. The institutions of Moses, as distinct from the other parts of the Old Testament; as the law and the prophets.20. A rule or axiom of science or art; settled principle; as the laws of versification or poetry.21. Law martial, or martial law, the rules ordained for the government of an army or military force.22. Marine laws, rules for the regulation of navigation, and the commercial intercourse of nations.23. Commercial law, law-merchant, the system of rules by which trade and commercial intercourse are regulated between merchants.24.

In "Labor of Fire", Bruno Gulli deals a well timed and much-needed re-assessment of the idea that of labour. Distinguishing among "productive labour (working for funds or subsistence)" and "living labour (working for creative creation)," Gulli convincingly argues for a definition of labor - and a definition of relaxation that isn't subsumed through paintings - which realizes the numerous value of creative and social creativity that belongs on the centre of our definition of labour and the self.

Bulldozer damaged in pipe bomb explosion
A pipe bomb is being suspected as what damaged a contractor’s bulldozer near Hoosier Energy’s Merom Generating Station sometime Tuesday night or early Wednesday.
Around 8:15 a.m. Wednesday, Sullivan County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Jerry Mize was called to the intersection of CRs 300S and 550W, where he found the damaged bulldozer lying on its side in a ditch.
Mize said the damage was localized in the bulldozer’s cab.
“It looks like they threw a pipe bomb in the cab...,” he said.
Mize said the bulldozer, as well as a back-hoe that had been moved from its original position, were the property of a contractor laying pipe in the area.
The lieutenant said he was unsure of the extra extent of the damage, but noted “there was glass breakage and damage done to the interior of the cab.” He added that a few other items were stolen from another of the same contractor’s work sites.
There are no suspects, and the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information about this incident should contact the SCSD at 268-4308.

Year 2017 carried a lot of success for Ethereum blockchain and community. It went through various ups and downs. Out of all major event was entering in Metropolis, phase - III of original proposed Ethereum blockchain roadmap. Metropolis is divided in two phase - Byzantium and Constantinople . Hardfork for Constantinople is expected in Q1, 2018.
Ethereum blockchain surpassed 13 tx/sec on Dec 31, 2017, which is an achievement for the team. Ethereum Core Developers are doing incredible job in order to provide faster and secured transaction on the Ethereum blockchain.
Vitalik Buterin said,
Other than achieving major milestones, ETH also created history in terms of value and market capital. It started the year with $7.98 per ETH and a market cap of $698 million. By the end of year it was valued $760.35 per ETH and a market cap of $68 billion and recording all time high $881 on Dec 19, 2017.
Q4 Round Up
Ethereum Foundation is transparent with its community. Today, team published the Q4, 2017 round up to provide the status of project and its progress with its various clients.
Highlights of the report are:
* A Casper proof of stake testnet based on pyethereum has been released.
* Various simplifications to the algorithm, including the reduction to one message type, have been finalized (also updated the accountable safety proof in Isabelle).
* The Casper FFG basics paper has been released.
* See presentations (i) and (ii) from Karl Floersch on Casper FFG, and (iii) from Jon Choi on cryptoeconomics; see also this explainer of Casper by Jon Choi.
- A specification of version 1 of sharding has been released: https://github.com/ethereum/sharding.
- Development of the sharding client has moved from pyethereum to py-evm.
- All of the different components, including account abstraction, the new transaction format, access list restrictions, the binary trie, and the shard watching and validating algorithm, are in the process of being developed.
- See presentation from Hsiao-Wwei Wang on sharding.
It is a comprehensive report. Readers can also find update on Py-EVM, EIPs (Ethereum Improvement Proposals), Formal Verification, Testing, Remix, Solidity, Security, Python Ecosystem, Ethereum-Tester, Web3.py, EthereumJS ecosystem, Web3.js 1.0, eWASM (Ethereum WebAssembly), C++ Ethereum, Geth, Mist, Swarm and Whisper here.
Ethereum scalability research and development subsidy programs
In an another announcement made by Vitalik Buterin, while foundation aims to continue to focus heavily on research and specification, they do not want to ultimately “win” the competition for which client gets the most actual users once the network goes live. They want the Ethereum sharding testnet, and later sharding mainnet, to be a multi-client ecosystem right from the start, with the Ethereum Foundation not supporting any single privileged production implementation. It is decided to invite more participation of users and to make Ethereum more decentralized. Parallely, The Ethereum Foundation-funded research team will continue to build an implementation in python and possibly other languages.
According to the Sharding client subsidy program of Ethereum,
"The Ethereum Foundation will be making subsidies available to independent groups in the community that want to help build an implementation and participate in the sharding testnets and mainnet."
These payments are NOT intended to be sources of substantial profit to recipient organizations; they are rather intended to cover some of the costs involved, with the understanding that anyone who participates in the scheme will have access to a unique opportunity to participate in Ethereum 2.0 development, with close collaboration with core Ethereum researchers, and be part of the development of one of the first clients that will be available when the sharding mainnet goes live.
Subsidy amounts of $50,000 up to $1,000,000 will be available, and possibly more for highly successful projects; the size of the subsidy will take into account the quality of the team, the scope of the proposed implementation, and the progress of the project over time. Participants will interact closely with the core research team, and will have a key role in shaping the final specification that gets developed over the course of implementing the spec and running the test networks.
Another program Layer-2 scalability solution subsidy program announces a subsidy scheme for projects that are building scalability and latency-reducing “layer 2” platforms that live on top of Ethereum, benefitting from the Ethereum blockchain’s security as a base layer and interoperability with the greater Ethereum community and platform.
This will take the form of a specialized grant program, and subsidy amounts of $50,000 to $1,000,000 will be available depending on scope, scale and quality. The subsidy may be available even if the project has an independent business model, or funding from potential other sources in the Ethereum community, though we will prioritize funding projects that otherwise lack ability to sustain themselves, and it absolutely must be the case that the work funded is open source from end to end and provides a common good to the Ethereum ecosystem.
If you are a developer and interested, you can apply by sending an email to email@example.com, with the following information:
- Official name of project, applicant and core developers
- Further information on the team, including previous activity if any in the Ethereum or blockchain space or distributed systems, mechanism design or cryptography
- Proposal and impact on scalability
- Estimated timeline for development milestones and completion, request for grant amount and estimated total overall budget
If Ethereum oundation are sufficiently interested, they’ll proceed from there with requests for further information. For details, please read here.
Ethereum Foundation website redesigning
By the end of 2017, Ethereum Foundation announced the most awaited update of the Ethereum official website and documentation.
Ether reached ATH, regained #2 position for some time
Ethereum gets a spectacular beginning of the year 2018. Ether, the decentralized token of Ethereum Blockchain recorded another all time high $914 on January 2, 2018. With a total market cap of more than $88B, it pushed Ripple (XRP) and restored #2 position in cryptocurrency for some time. The current price of ETH is $890 at the time of writing this post.
Data source: Coinmarketcap.com
This is just the beginning. We hope to see many more success coming up with the project in 2018.

The famous world heritage site around the palace of Sanssouci has more to offer than just a view at the beautiful temples, follies and gorgeous interiors. The park was designed in the style of an English landscape garden by Peter Joseph Lenné and has lush forests with old deciduous trees as well as dry grassland and is traversed by a small ditch "Parkgraben" which ends in a small pond "Maschinenteich".
The park is well known for its Mandarin Duck. More than 200 individuals gather along the Parkgraben in winter. The birds appeared after WWII, as escapes from the Berlin Zoo, and are nowadays self-sustaining and more or less stable as a population.
The old oak trees are perfect spots to see Middle Spotted Woodpecker and the nesting boxes are the home of Pied Flycatcher. Around 10 territories of Firecrest and 2 territories of Tawny Owl as well as several Icterine Warbler are within the park's boundaries. Five species of woodpecker make use of the old trees in the park.
In Winter you can observe Hawfinch, Marsh Tit, Siskin and Brambling at the bird feeders in the park. In some years good numbers of Bohemian Waxwing can be seen feeding in the mistletoes, especially in January. Hundreds of thrushes roam the park in early spring.
Along the Parkgraben you can also see Common Kingfisher at close ranges. The Maschinenteich holds a territory of that species, as well as a nest of a Mute Swan.
Rarities in the park have been Hoopoe, Ring Ouzel, Yellow-browed Warbler and Wood Duck among the many Mandarin Duck.
You can get to the park via its many entrances. Cycling is only allowed on the paved road through the park. The crowded sand paths are only for walking. For parking, see the P on the map, or click on it to get directions.

You can take the girl out of Ohio, but you can’t take Ohio out of the girl. I am, and always will be, an Ohioan. This means I am a diehard Browns fan, which is not an easy thing to be down here in Florida. I crave the Coconut Bars from Archie’s Bakery and am still trying to recruit a Clevelander to fly down with a box. So far, no takers, but I am the eternal optimist. And I would love Michael Symon to open up a Lola Bistro location down here, as it is a to-die-for restaurant in downtown Cleveland.
As you have probably figured out, I am a tad homesick for all things Ohio. Growing up there, I was fortunate to know a candy store named Draeger’s, which unfortunately closed its doors several years ago. I used to love their hot fudge sauce and chocolate turtles. To this day I still have a jar of Draeger’s hot fudge sitting in my refrigerator. I know that it has long since expired, but I can’t throw it away.
One food item I never tried was a Buckeye. I know the Buckeye tree is the official tree of the great state of Ohio, and I know that those who attend Ohio State University are called Buckeyes. Beyond that I could never have given you any other information about a Buckeye.
All that changed a couple of weeks ago. I was at a fellow Clevelander’s home and she was telling me about another Cleveland friend who had a recipe for Buckeyes. Luckily, she shares recipes. Honestly, I thought I was getting a recipe for a cookie, but quickly learned that Buckeyes are candies shaped to look like the nut of a buckeye tree.
I whipped together a batch, increasing the peanut butter because I found the original recipe to be a tad too sweet. When Shoshana walked in, I explained what I was making. Her response was along the lines of, “Those are just peanut butter cups.”
Shoshana has a point there, but they seem like so much more than a peanut butter cup. What my darling daughter does not realize is that when I make Buckeyes, I am connecting to Ohioans. Probably sounds weird, especially since I did not even know what a Buckeye candy was before a week ago; but I find comfort in it.
So, until I find that incredible friend who will bring me Archie’s Coconut Bars or one of Archie’s cakes, I will have to make my own Ohio food connections right here in sunny South Florida. The peanut butter and chocolate combination has always worked for me. Now I have a sentimental reason to love it even more.
|Buckeyes|| || |
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips, melted
- For the buckeyes:
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the peanut butter, butter, confections sugar and vanilla into a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Use a small cookie dough scoop to measure out the balls onto one of the baking sheets. They may be very close to each other, as they will not be spreading. They will be too soft to shape evenly at this point. Freeze for 1 - 2 hours, until the scoops are firm enough to be rolled into balls.
- Insert a toothpick into a ball. Dip the ball into melted chocolate and swirl it around, holding onto the toothpick, so that only a bit of the peanut butter remains exposed.
- After dipping the balls, place them on the second lined baking sheet and remove the toothpick.
- Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Betsy's tidbits:
- Buckeyes will resemble the look of a buckeye nut with the light brown color of the peanut butter ball peeking out from the top of the dark chocolate shell.
- Milk and semisweet chocolate may be used instead of bittersweet chocolate.

One camera, two flash units. I used my Canon 7D with 580 EX II & 600 EX-RT to get this shot with a white & black backdrop. I used gels on the 600 to get the blue and teal shot hitting the white backdrop with the flash. I used optical trigger for flash units. I love the detail shot as an abstract.

Revised thresholds under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (15 U.S.C. § 18a) (HSR) and Section 8 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 19) were published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2015. The thresholds for these statutes are adjusted once a year based upon changes in the gross national product. For HSR purposes, the revised thresholds will apply for transactions that close on or after February 20, 2015. For Section 8 purposes, the revised thresholds are effective January 21, 2015.
(Original: $50 million; New as of February 20, 2015: $76.3 million)
The 2000 HSR amendments raised the size-of-the-transaction test to $50 million. This figure is currently $75.9 million based upon the 2014 annual adjustment. On February 20, 2015, it will increase to $76.3 million — a change of less than one percent. Accordingly, for transactions that close on or after February 20, 2015, no HSR filing will be required unless the acquisition will result in the acquiring person holding an aggregate total amount of voting securities, non-corporate interests, and/or assets of the acquired person in excess of $76.3 million.
(Original: $10 million/$100 million; New as of February 20, 2015: $15.3 million/$152.5 million)
Under the new adjustments, acquisitions valued above $305.1 million will be reportable regardless of the size of the parties, and acquisitions valued at greater than $76.3 million, but less than or equal to $305.1 million, will only be reportable if the size-of-the-parties test is met. The revised thresholds adjust the size-of-the-parties test so that it typically will be met if the acquiring or acquired person has annual net sales or total assets of $152.5 million or more, and the other person has annual net sales or total assets of $15.3 million or more.
For acquisitions of voting securities, an acquiring person files for the highest applicable notification threshold among five choices. Acquiring 50 percent or greater of an issuer’s voting securities is the highest threshold; but below that level, there are four different tiers for reporting acquisitions of minority interests in voting securities. The notification threshold may determine, for example, whether a subsequent acquisition of additional voting securities in the same issuer will require another HSR filing. The new notification thresholds that will become effective with the forthcoming adjustments are, in ascending order:
Filing Fee Thresholds
The filing fee amounts are not changing; in fact, the HSR filing fee amounts have not been adjusted for inflation in more than a decade. However, the thresholds for the application of the fees are increasing.
Previous Size-of-the-Transaction Thresholds
For purposes of disclosing past assets acquisitions for Item 8 of the HSR form, and for analyzing a potential past failure to file under HSR, it remains necessary to look at the thresholds that were in place at the time of the prior acquisition. The size-of-the-transaction thresholds since the 2000 HSR amendments have been:
Most, although not all, of the dollar amounts in the HSR rules will be adjusted upward based upon the threshold indexing discussed above. It remains important for parties to be very careful in determining if a threshold is met given that the process can be very complex, the rules are highly technical, and failure to comply with HSR can result in significant civil penalties.
Interlocking Directorates Threshold
(Original: $10 million; New as of January 21, 2015: $31,084,000)
Finally, in a separate Federal Register notice, the FTC updated the jurisdictional threshold for interlocking directorates under Section 8 of the Clayton Act. Section 8 prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, persons from serving as an officer or director of two competing corporations (a practice known as “interlocking”), provided that each corporation has “capital, surplus, and undivided profits” above the statutory threshold. The 1990 amendments to Section 8 set this threshold at $10 million, but based on the latest annual adjustment, the threshold has been increased to $31,084,000.
Section 8 also has three safe harbor exceptions. One exception states that Section 8 does not apply if the competitive sales of either interlocked corporation are less than $1 million in 1989 dollars, as adjusted annually. This safe harbor has adjusted to $3,108,400 based on the new thresholds.

NHL Network ran a replay of game 4 of the 1998 Stanley Cup Final today and it reminded not only how fun those teams in the late 90s were to watch, but how awesome of a hockey player Sergei Fedorov was. I really wish he never left the Wings or he could have left the team on better terms. I'll be the first to say that I am Pro-Fedorov and think that if his relationship with the club was repaired his no. 91 should hang from the rafters. He was like the Pavel Datsyuk of the 90s in the sense that he had amazing offensive skill, yet was one of the best two way players in the game. He could stop you from scoring and light the lamp on the same shift. So in honor of today being the day Wayne Gretzky was traded from the Oilers to the Kings, our Video of the Day features Fedorov with a great backcheck to stop the Great One in the 1996 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Well, Jonny is one of the extras, or background artists as they’re properly known, on the show. And as his 10th year working on Corrie was celebrated this week, it’s time to turn the spotlight on to Jonny Grimshaw himself.
Jonny says he loves his work as an extra on Corrie: “When I get a call, I say it's like an injection of endorphins into my brain. I have been doing this type of work) for almost 20 years, and I can't fault it at all. It's interesting, exciting and great fun and I consider myself very lucky to work doing something I enjoy. All the other extras are lovely and I've met many like-minded people and made some good friends over the years.
"I say to people 'if you don't blink during an episode, then you might see me!'
|Jonny Grimshaw as a wedding guest at Carla and Nick's wedding.|
But how did he end up in Corrie as an extra? Jonny says that after leaving University, he enrolled on a drama course in Liverpool, and from there went on to be a tour guide at both Granada Studios (and the more recent Coronation Street Tour run by the Continuum Group) Then, he started to work regularly as an extra - sometimes being on both street sets on the same day, as both tour guide an extra!
|Jonny Grimshaw as a mourner at Deirdre's funeral|
One experience Jonny is not likely to forget on Corrie is when he was a contestant in the Mr Gay Weatherfield contest!
“I was stood on the stage set in just my boxer shorts and the drag queen DJ referred to me as having 'a backside like a landslide', to which I had to respond with a dirty look. This is in front of the cast, all the crew and about 90 extras. I remember thinking if I can do that I can do anything! The part of the scene with me was cut, a fact that I'm probably ultimately grateful for, although initially disappointed”
And he’s even worked as a body double for Steve McDonald in one episode of Coronation Street when Simon Gregson was off work poorly.

The United Arab Emirates are helping to finance a robot project. Pal Robotics are based in Barcelona in Spain and almost 10 years ago they were contracted to create a robot that could stand head to head with the Honda ASIMO. Fast forward to today, and the company have unveiled their third generation humanoid robot.
The new REEM robots have been named after an island just off the coast of Abu Dhabi. They have been in development since 2004. Professor Noel Sharkey, a professor of Robotics and Artifical Intelligence at the University of Sheffield spoke to robotsandavatars.net saying “It’s owned by the United Arab Emirates royal family. The young prince is a big Star Trek fan, and so he spent a few million pounds getting all these really good engineers to build this robot for him.”
Pal Robotics have released the REEM-A and REEM-B in the past although they were never mass produced or sold to the public. The latest REEM C however is available to purchase as a research platform. KAIST’s HUBO robots are already being sold to universities around the globe, costing hundred of thousands of dollars for a single unit. PAL Robotics say that REEM-C is an ideal tool to learn about robotics, including walking, navigation, body control and grasping.
REEM-C is 5ft 4 inches tall and weighs in at 70kg. It can walk at 1ft per second, however it is reckoned this will improve with time. The design is modular and has two internal computers inside, along with stereo cameras, microphones and speakers. The robot has laser range finders on its feet as well.
The unit takes power from a 48V Lithium – ion battery and it can operate for up to 3 hours with a lot of movement, or 6 hours on standby. It takes 5 hours to fully charge.
Special thanks to Gizmag for the heads up.
Kitguru says: In another 30 years, we reckon we will have robots that are almost as realistic as humans.

Traceability is essential in the snack and baking industry. Ingredients always need to be tracked, and this is especially important in the case of a recall. These days, implementing a comprehensive software suite is often an essential step in establishing a strong food safety program.
“When it comes to traceability, distributed ledger technology, or ‘blockchain,’ is often the first thing that comes to mind for the modern food producer,” says Pratik Soni, founder and CEO, Omnichain Solutions, Los Angeles. Many are keen to implement the technology, as it provides a decentralized, digital record of every step in a product’s lifecycle—from raw ingredients, through production, to distribution to the retail shelf and in the consumer’s hands, he says. “Once logged on the ledger, the data are immutable and shared with everyone across the supply chain, ensuring full traceability, transparency, and accountability.”
Some companies may think that blockchain for the food supply chain is still something in its infancy, but there are very mature solutions available today, explains Soni. “Namely, blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) platforms, like the one offered by Omnichain, are available now, that enable manufacturers to go fully live and functional with their own distributed ledger—connecting the many disparate systems, records and databases across their supply chain—through simply an internet browser in under 90 days,” he notes.
Since users only need an internet browser to connect to the network, BaaS platforms can scale along with a business as it grows, says Soni. “A monthly subscription-based payment model also makes deployment affordable so that small to mid-sized food brands can reap the same traceability benefits as a large corporation. In today’s society, where consumers now demand more information about the goods that they purchase, definitive insight into product provenance can be a powerful differentiator.”
Traceability software should be a standard in any ERP package that deals with the food and beverage industry, says Erin Schlee, marketing communications manager, SYSPRO USA, Costa Mesa, CA. “SYSPRO Software has had lot traceability built into the core of the system for years, enabling companies to track ingredients from raw materials all the way through to finished product.”
Christine C. Akselsen, CEO, Kezzler, Oslo, Norway, says that Kezzler has recently enhanced its platform’s traceability capabilities. “While previously focused on enabling product authentication and production control, we have now moved to integrate our platform deeper into the complete lifecycle of products.” This includes deeper integration of the platform into supply-chain systems, enhancing track-and-trace functionalities, and support for global interoperable product identification standards like GS1’s Digital Link, she says.
This interoperability and capability of integration lends support for global traceability initiatives, such as Russia's “cryptocode” serialization mandate (Federal Law No. 488-FZ), which becomes effective this January—and which will extend to almost all product areas, notes Akselsen.
Further regulation around food safety has moved manufacturers toward much more detailed lot tracking and traceability, says Wayne Ortner, senior product consultant, FlexiBake, Vancouver, British Columbia. “ERP and WMS like FlexiBake have needed to adapt to keep up with the new regulations and trends. FlexiBake’s warehouse management system has detailed lot tracking on both ingredients and on packaging, palletization by lot numbers, intelligent placement of finished goods, and detailed raw material picklists generated from a live inventory.”
One of the major barriers FlexiBake has seen when it comes to the idea of scanning lot numbers into inventory is that most major suppliers will supply product with lot numbers on their ingredient packages, but barcoded lot numbers are not yet included, meaning there is no way to scan lot codes into any system, Ortner adds. “The only way to integrate lot code scanning into an automated production floor is to manually write input the lot number, create the barcode and label, and then stick it on the ingredient yourself. Once suppliers include scannable lot numbers on barcodes, it will make integrating scanning devices much more attainable for manufacturers.”
Elemica, Wayne, PA, has a new quality solution that integrates and simplifies multiple challenging facets of today’s supply chain, says Kurt Nusbaum, VP, quality management solutions. “Ranging from multitier traceability through raw material product quality and supplier nonconformance management, this new solution provides integrated visibility previously not available to manufacturers and distributors.”
Streamlining communication among suppliers, customers, and manufacturing sites creates an inter-enterprise traceability, quality, and compliance solution that minimizes costly product quality and delivery issues, notes Nusbaum. “Extending supply chain data gives manufacturers and participants the upstream visibility and control they need to provide improved downstream customer service. Elemica offers an end-to-end digital supply network that not only provides traceability well beyond first-tier suppliers and throughout the manufacturing process, but also captures quality data in the form of an electronic certificate of analysis (e-COA).”
By linking supplier COA data with shipment information, you not only gain traceability, but you also receive real-time alerts to risky material variation within the supply chain, Nusbaum adds. Elemica’s traceability and quality management solution also provides supplier nonconformance and regulatory tracking and automation, he says. “The combination of visibility, traceability, and transparency into supply chain processes means you gain molecular insights into what is happening within your supply chain, from raw materials to end customers. This includes all documentation, transaction, data exchange, messaging, etc.—all shared on a networked platform so that all trading partners have accountability and understand escalation paths, if needed.”
The deep knowledge and insights gained from information within the supply chain, along with quality information shared on COAs, means that risk can be minimized, saving costs and improving customer satisfaction, he explains.
Matt Brown, CEO, Wherefour, Petaluma, CA, says that they’ve been impressed with the ruggedized tablet and phone-sized products that Zebra Technologies has introduced. “These are laser scanners with highly accurate scanning capability. Zebra has 8- and 10-inch Android tablets with built-in laser barcode scanners. They are a convenient and easy-to-hold size with a catcher’s mitt style grip.”
The tablets are ruggedized to work in cold and wet environments, which is common in many food applications, Brown notes. “Having a built-in laser barcode scanner is a big feature, because laser scanning is more accurate than phone or tablet cameras. Wherefour recently announced a partnership to integrate its traceability and ERP software with Zebra devices. This means a user can have everything they need in one tablet.”
Ortner says that he’s seen a major shift in the hardware that’s being used to run today’s food manufacturing software. “Historically, manufacturers would opt for an industry-specific or manufacturing-specific device to run their software. Today, more and more companies are using smartphones, tablets, and mobile printers that are not necessarily designed for the food manufacturing industry.”
Technology is also growing more predictive. Schlee says that RFID software and handheld scanners are standard products, but AI and machine learning can assist with this in the sense of contamination and allergies. “For example, with allergies, you might use artificial intelligence (AI) to predict contamination. And AI tied with IoT sensors could figure out temperature fluctuations in the environment or moisture content that could cause mold, bacteria, and contamination,” she notes.
“Kezzler has greatly enhanced its traceability capabilities with the advent of our latest release,” Akselsen says. “Our client base is now leveraging those capabilities to support their customer demands for farm-to-fork and grass-to-glass traceability. One great example of this is FrieslandCampina, one of the world’s largest dairy cooperatives, which uses our traceability connectivity suite to link every single serialized product back to its farm of origin, aggregate production information, track distribution from production to consumption, and finally engage with their consumers all through one single unified touchpoint, which is a Kezzlerized GS1 Digital Link.”
Brown says that Wherefour has made some recent enhancements to its ability to trace ingredients from the loading dock through production and onto the delivery truck into customers’ hands. “Our users now are able to upload virtually any document they want to store with purchase orders such as certificates of analysis, photos of received goods and bills of lading,” he comments. “We have made some changes to our production trace report to delve even deeper for forward or backward ingredient searches. The report can be run to show all events for a specific lot code in greater detail, such as material that was produced in a separate lot but included in the current batch. Reports also can show a complete breakdown of the inventory used for a product, along with the vendors who supplied those ingredients and to which customers that product was shipped.”
Ortner says that tablets are being used for inventory counts, palletization, and picking product for shipments. “Technology is evolving to become more user-friendly and the majority of manufacturers are opting for a cloud-based software solution that can be used on any commercially available device, rather than deploying specific hardware configurations used for locally installed software.”
Tracking incoming ingredients is not a new technology, and SYSPRO USA has offered it for quite a while, says Schlee. “These technologies continue to become more advanced as things like IoT and blockchain, and machine learning mature, but robust ERP technology made for food and beverage should have this offering as part of its core.”
With the maturation of distributed ledger technology, Soni says he’s seeing it naturally converge with other impactful technologies like AI and machine learning. “After all, if you have holistic data logged in a single digital ledger, that makes it even easier for AI to get in and start going to work, finding connections and correlations that would otherwise be unknown, difficult or time consuming for decision makers,” he notes. “At Omnichain, we’re introducing AI and machine learning into our platform to process the vast amounts of supply chain data on our customers’ distributed ledgers, enabling more predictive supply chain management. From these data, the platform can generate deliver proactive insights to users, such as verifications of product provenance or identification of the source of a quality or safety issue in the supply chain.”

From On the Road’s initial publication in 1957 to the release of its original scroll manuscript in 2007, the most persistent issue critics have faced when discussing Kerouac’s most well-known novel has been first establishing it as something that’s worthy of criticism at all. In a 1974 essay, George Dardess cites Norman Mailer’s dismissal of Kerouac as a writer who lacks “discipline, intelligence, honesty, and a sense of the novel”. “Why do students still want to read Kerouac,” Joshua Kupetz quotes a colleague in another essay on the novel in 2007. The rebukes of On the Road – that it has no structure, no definitive ending, is incoherent, and only works as a pop-culture relic – have endured along with the work’s popularity. But perhaps most problems reading On the Road exist because this real-life tale, the story of Kerouac and his friend Neal Cassady, is not best served by seeing the work through a literary lens, but instead by embracing the idea that On the Road occupies a unique space between memoir and fiction. More accurately, On the Road is a story that fits into a literary genre that would eventually become New Journalism, a style of non-fiction writing that’s characterized by literary gymnastics and intense, immersive reporting delivered to the reader through the subjective prism of the author’s own point of view.

This essay originally appeared in Beatdom #15 – the WAR issue.
For about ten years after World War II Britain was a grey place. When Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady were gallivanting around the United States, the UK was recovering from Nazi bombing raids. Kids played in bomb craters and air-raid shelters. You could still find shell casings among the rubble and there were wrecked German Messershmitts in the fields. The big kids got the best bits.
It wasn’t until the end of the fifties that things started to change, and kids who’d been too young to die in the trenches came of age. TVs arrived in suburban homes, bringing American culture to the British youth. Brit pop music was pretty tame at first – Petula Clark, Frankie Vaughan – but it had potential. Then Bill Haley came over leaving a trail of smashed up cinemas, and Gene Vincent records appeared in the shops.
Proto-Beatniks were first spotted on the Aldermaston March. They were called Bohemians. There was a revival of traditional jazz among art students and a few bearded denizens of Soho pubs. Then Skiffle came along and whatever it was spread to the suburbs. Lonnie Donnegan got on TV with songs like Leadbelly’s “Rock Island Line” (“John Henry” was on the B-side) and suddenly England had a whole new sub-culture.
The spillover from places like Ken Colyer’s Club and Eel Pie Island followed… scruffy, hairy young people with bedrolls would find their way down to Brighton either by hitchhiking or by the infamous Milk Train from Victoria. It usually happened at weekends. They’d sleep on the beach under the pier or in upturned fishing boats on the hard pebbles and meet up in the fish market to share bottles of stolen milk and Mars Bars. Some of the beatnik chicks were quite attractive in a Bohemian kind of way. French actress style. It wasn’t that difficult to entice them into your sleeping bag; one at a time, of course.
Drugs? There weren’t many around. You could get a buzz off Dr. Collis Browne’s Mixture but speed and pot were hard to find. Acid was still some way in the future.
Primitive music was played there on the pebbles. Some people, like Davy Graham and Martin Wyndham, Wizz Jones (shoulder-length curly hair and owlish glasses), Clive Palmer (quiet, gaunt, and haunted), would have banjos and guitars. Somebody might show up with a battered trumpet. Perhaps there would even be enough instruments to make an impromptu band! Bemused old folk and other passersby on the sea front above would gather to watch this curious cultural phenomenon. Teddy Boys – working class lads in pseudo-Edwardian suits – would shout rude things at the Beatniks. Things like “Do you ever wash?” or “Get a bleedin’ ’aircut!” and “Are you a boy or a girl?”
Teds wore drape jackets, drainpipe trousers, and suede shoes with big crepe soles. They liked Gene Vincent and Elvis. Then the Mods came along, a younger group, who liked the Kinks, Small Faces, The Who, and early Reggae. They showed up like a shoal of piranha fish in their Fred Perry Polo shirts and parkas, driving Lambrettas and noisy little Vespas covered with superfluous headlights. They got a lot of media attention which annoyed the Teds, who had somehow morphed into Rockers while nobody was watching. They traded in their suits for leather jackets, bought motorbikes and rode around shouting rude things at the Mods.
It may have been youthful high-spirits, or excess testosterone. Historians are still puzzling over it. Or maybe the various fashion styles and musical tastes just didn’t mix well. Anyway, fights broke out which quickly became running battles, and it wasn’t long before the Great British Press was all over it. Coppers got in some weekend overtime with their truncheons. Arrests were made. Newspapers were sold. The public was shocked.
The Beatniks, being peaceful folk for the most part, stayed out of it. Some simply went home to read their copies of On the Road. Some decided to hitchhike to India in search of spiritual enlightenment and cheap hash. They in turn evolved into Hippies. Most of these young people eventually got jobs, started families and settled down in front of the telly. Some have since joined the old folk on the seafront where they sit in Regency shelters, feeding sliced bread to gulls and discussing the youth of today.

“Black Power: Find out what they want and give it to them. All the signs that mean anything indicate that the blacks were the original inhabitants of this planet. So who has a better right to it?” William S. Burroughs Continue Reading…
This essay originally appeared in Beatdom #15: the WAR issue.
Most of the writers and artists to whom the label “Beat” was applied did not directly experience the horrors of war. Certainly, some of the older Beats of the original Columbia University circle had been in the firing line: Jack Kerouac, for one, shipped out in the merchant marines in the minefield of the Atlantic, and then joined the Navy before quickly being discharged after a diagnosis of a “schizoid personality with angel tendencies.” But the younger Beats, the so-called “second-generation,” which encompasses most of the recognized female writers, including Diane di Prima and Joyce Johnson, were at the same geographic dissociation as most other young people in the USA. However, war’s effects were experienced belatedly through the lasting trauma of family members, many of whom were of immigrant families with links to Europe, either active or hazily distant in the past as they strove for assimilation into American life. Continue Reading…
From Beatdom #15 – Available now on Amazon as a print and Kindle publication:
The Beat Generation is often viewed as apolitical, apathetic, selfish, and borne out of the post-WWII era of prosperity. They are viewed as rich kids who chose a bohemian lifestyle as a matter of fashion, as part of a teenage rebellion that went on too long, and inspired too many imitators, and eventually morphing into the beatniks and hippies of the fifties and sixties. Getting to the heart of the Beat ethos isn’t easy, as this is a literary grouping of rather different individuals, over a long period of time, with entirely different philosophies and styles relating to their art. That “post-WWII era” label, then, is important in defining them. If we must group them together, we can define them by opposition to the oppressive society in which they lived. They supported sexual freedom, opposed big government, and pondered to what extent madness was a path to genius. Continue Reading…
From Albion to Shangri-La consists of collected excerpts from Peter Doherty’s journals, circa 2008 to 2013, with an added selection from his tour diaries, all rounded off with a previously unpublished interview with editor, Nina Antonia – the rock journalist’s rock journalist, no stranger to the darker excesses of some of rock’s more elegantly wasted sons – whose sharp eye and clear ear have been called upon to assist in this literary distillation, as explained in her Introduction.

The obsession with flavor moves far beyond the simple smell or
taste of a spice, but rather is gently stirred into every corner
and dish at the Spice Island Beach Resort on the island of Grenada
in the southern Caribbean. The all-suite, all-inclusive resort is
an ideal romantic getaway for honeymooners or for couples looking
to slow down and escape from it all.
Late last year the resort finished a $12 million renovation after
the property was virtually destroyed by Hurricane Ivan. The
resort’s new contemporary Caribbean decorating scheme incorporates
the colors and names of spices like saffron and cinnamon into the
design. This is echoed throughout the lobby and into the 64
A unique feature of the Spice Island Beach Resort is the 34
beachfront Sea Grape Suites that sit gracefully on the white sand
of Gran Anse Beach. This amazing location allows guests to stroll a
mere 30 or so yards from the suite’s back patio to the sea.
The rooms were also designed to take full advantage of the
incredible beach view. This is most evident in the row of folding
shutters over the whirlpool tub. When open, clients can soak in
fragrant bubbling water while taking in an ocean view. The luxury
continues with dark hardwood furniture in the living room and media
area, Italian porcelain tiles, marble countertops and bathroom
fixtures designed by Philip Stark. Each suite also features a back
patio with a small table and chairs, couch, double hammock perfect
for tanning or gazing at stars and a couple of beach chairs. While
staying in this suite I couldn’t resist, no matter what time of
night it was, to throw on my swimsuit and take a romantic moonlight
If your clients crave total privacy book a pool suite. These pool
pavilion suites are a destination on their own. With a private
entry, plunge pool and garden, your clients will find it difficult
to leave their own private Eden. For a fairytale honeymoon, book
one of the Royal Collection Pool Suites. These elegant mini villas
have private saunas, large whirlpool tubs that comfortably
accommodate two and the larger 16-by-20 foot pool.
Guests of the hotel enjoy fine dinning at Oliver’s Restaurant. The
open-air dinning area features a backdrop of white-sand beach and
turquoise water along with a very attentive wait staff. The
six-course dinners are best described by general manager Brian
Hardy, who said, “Oliver’s incorporates simple local ingredients
into world class gourmet cuisine.”
The restaurant also serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
Diners are also treated to live calypso and reggae music.
Clients can pamper themselves at the Janissa’s Spa and Fitness
center located on the property. The spa was designed to let guests
come straight from the beach and receive treatments. There are
lockers, showers and a changing area. The spa offers a long list of
tempting spa treatments, but be sure to tell your clients to book
their sessions early.
Out and About: While the resort is a destination
unto itself, travelers can venture out to experience all that
Grenada has to offer. It’s a quick cab ride into the port city of
Saint Georges for shopping and sightseeing.
If your clients are up for an adventure, send them to explore the
beautiful Seven Sisters waterfalls. While the one-mile hike through
the Grenadian rainforest might seem short on paper, it is best if
your clients are agile. At the head of the trail, travelers can
hire a guide and pick up some very useful walking sticks that will
help them navigate over the slippery terrain. I would highly
recommend wearing a pair of sturdy water moccasins for climbing
over slick rocks, crossing streams and trekking through deep muddy
puddles, plus the sticky red island mud will wash off easily
compared to regular hiking shoes.
For less adventurous clients bus tours can be taken to the Concord
Waterfall or suggest a tour to River Antoine Rum Distillery or the
Dougaldston Spice Plantation where your client will feel like they
have been transported back in time.

COVID-19 vaccine available for kids in Ventura County as of Thursday
A COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 will be administered in Ventura County beginning Thursday.
Public health officials said the newly approved vaccine will be available at sites, including Ventura County public health clinics. Appointments are urged and can be made starting Thursday at myturn.ca.gov. Or people can call 833-422-4255.
Health leaders encouraged parents to contact their pediatricians or family doctors for more information about vaccinations. Some clinics and medical offices already are administering the pediatric vaccine. Others are awaiting delivery
California Department of Public Health officials said vaccinations began in some sites across the state on Wednesday. They said about 1.2 million doses of the pediatric vaccine have been allocated to the state and are expected to be distributed to 4000 locations.
A CVS Health spokeswoman said appointments for the vaccinations were being accepted at many of the pharmacies as of Wednesday with shots beginning Sunday.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for kids was approved by the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup on Wednesday, clearing the path for the shots to be delivered in California and other western states. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued emergency approval on Tuesday.
Ventura County health officials said it may take longer for some local sites to deliver the shots. The shots are also expected to be available at some school sites but details have not yet been announced. Local officials praised the approval of the pediatric vaccine.
“This is another important step forward as we continue getting things back to normal in our schools,” Ventura County Superintendent of Schools Dr. César Morales said in a news release. “The state mandate for students to be vaccinated to attend school isn’t yet in effect, but it’s never too early to take advantage of the protection offered by the vaccine for everyone who is eligible to receive it.”
The vaccine involves two doses taken three weeks apart. It is one-third of the dosage of the Pfizer vaccine for older adolescents and adults. Public health officials said there are 72,000 children ages 5 to 11 in Ventura County.

I’d like to cover an entire tree with these- I’ll have to buy ’em or try ’em.

Tile, Upholstery & Rug Cleaning Services in San Angelo
Professional Cleaning Services Near You
Over time, tile floors and surfaces lose their shine and luster.
Have you ever tried to clean the grout in between your tiles and scrubbed and scrubbed, still not feeling like it was completely clean? That’s because grout is very porous and practically impossible to clean by hand.
It’s a grueling task without professional help, and for not as much payoff. We can lift that deeply embedded dirt that’s causing your grout to look dingy and have it restored to its original state.
It’s not uncommon for people to think they need to replace their grout and then realize a good cleaning was all that was needed, saving them thousands of dollars.
Because grout is porous and absorbs all the dirt and debris on it, mopping only removes surface soil and not the embedded dirt. We have the training, equipment and products to deep clean these surfaces. You will be impressed by the difference a quality professional cleaning makes!
With upholstery cleaning your furniture may be restored, at a fraction of the cost of replacement. Successful stain and odor removal require the right products and techniques. Call us for pricing today.
No matter what your upholstery has been through, we can refresh it. We’ve successfully removed:
Grime and dirt
Food stains and drink spills
This thorough cleaning is done without compromising the integrity of the fabric.
Have nice rugs you’d like to keep for many years to come?
We can clean your rugs at your home or pick them up, clean them at our shop, and return them looking and smelling refreshed. We will determine the type of rug, color fastness and technique to insure a gentle and safe deep clean. Contact us with questions about your specific situation. Let us help!

It's now been over two months since Google et al. announced support for <link rel="canonical">, so I thought I'd do a spot check to see who's using the new <link> tag attribute and who isn't. As you'll see, so far the response has been, well, underwhelming.
Not observed. But…
Blogs and Social Media
<link rel="canonical" href="http://technorati.com/" />
Not observed. No 301-driven canonical domain name, either (see my note on nytimes, below).
I added this category because online gaming sites are supposed to care so much about SEO.
Media and Gateway Sites
Not observed. Just as an aside I pasted all of the above URLs because, aside from not supporting the <link rel="canonical> tag, nytimes.com isn't even doing supposedly industry-standard 301 redirects to posit canonical folder URLs and – gasp – a canonical domain name. Marshall, baby, you're my hero: what gives? 🙂 At least it's there for about.com.
If you were counting TLDs, you'd see that 36 sites aren't employing the tag, and two are (one and a half, really, since only one of the google.com URLs I checked was carrying it).
Make the nay count 37 if you add SEO Skeptic. By the way, I'm actually a proponent of the tag, but haven't got around to employing it here (after I upgrade, after I upgrade). Of course, with WordPress, I'd need a plugin, so did a quick search: sure enough, I found one on yoast.com. And that brings the "yea" count three (or two and a half):

If you’ll allow us a humble brag just this once, it’s clear that The Indiependent’s film section is a breeding ground for burgeoning future creatives;This Order is the next venture of former Indiependent Film Editor Levi Eddie Aluede and Dylan Mascis. Previously cutting their directorial teeth with Screwdriver (2018) and Ingénue (2019), which collectively made it to seven international film festivals, the duo has strong collaborative experience behind them, including co-founding the production studio Future First. Alongside Aluede, the script has been penned by our very own Film Editor Elliott Jones in his screenwriting debut. After previously tackling the struggles faced by LGBT youth and the niche genre of metaphorical horror-comedy, This Order is poised to be Future Film’s biggest film yet, and the teaser has just been launched before shooting begins in the summer.
View this post on Instagram
A psychological horror based around themes of mental health, This Order’s plot has been described in one simple and tantalizing sentence: “Left alone and embarking on a new piece, a painter slowly descends into the void.” The short is also set to feature lots of weird and wonderful creatures, including one called Thomas.
Set to the ominous buzzing of a razor, in this teaser we see the painter, played by Mascis himself, having his head buzzed as we see a hint of something threatening in the darkened doorway. Another character enters the kitchen and whispers something inaudible into his ear, before the painter discovers a suspicious, unknown sticky black liquid on the kitchen floor. The teaser ends cryptically, as the shot dissolves into darkly-lit shot of a faintly-visible Mascis wearing face paint.
As with all new burgeoning creative processes, the talented crew are in need of funds to realise their project and have launched a funding campaign. Help them reach their target over at bit.ly/ThisOrder for the chance to get some incredible perks, from early access links to the film, limited editions t-shirts and producer credit.

General scope of application
(1) These General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery (hereinafter: “GCS”) shall apply to all our business relations with our clients (hereinafter: “Buyer”). The Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery shall only apply if the Buyer is an entrepreneur (Section 14 of the German Civil Code “BGB”), a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
(2) The GCS shall apply particularly to agreements on the sale and delivery of movable goods (hereinafter also referred to as: “goods”), regardless of whether we have manufactured the goods ourselves or purchased them from suppliers. The GCS in the version applicable at the time of conclusion of the agreement shall also apply as a framework agreement for future agreements on the sale and delivery of movable goods with the same Buyer, without our having to refer to them again in each case.
(3) Our GCS shall apply exclusively. Any deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of the Buyer shall only become part of the agreement if and to the extent that we have expressly consented to their application in writing. This consent requirement shall apply in any case, also if we carry out the delivery to the Buyer without reservation in knowledge of the Buyer’s general terms and conditions.
(4) Any agreements concluded with the Buyer in individual cases (including ancillary agreements, supplements, and amendments) shall in any case have priority over the GCS. The content of such agreements shall be determined based on the written versions of such agreements or on written confirmations by us, subject to proof to the contrary.
(5) Any legally relevant declarations and notifications of the Buyer with regard to the agreement (e.g. setting of deadlines, reminders, declaration of withdrawal) must be made in writing, i.e. in written or text form (e.g. letter, e-mail, fax). Any legal formal requirements and further proof, particularly in case of doubt about the legitimacy of the issuing party, remain unaffected.
(6) Agreements concluded between the Buyer and the manufacturer/supplier within the scope of commission-based transactions shall not be governed by these GCS, but exclusively by the terms and conditions of sale and delivery of the manufacturer/supplier concerned, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.
(7) All references to the applicability of statutory provisions shall be for clarification purposes only. Even without such clarification, the statutory provisions shall therefore apply unless they are directly amended or expressly excluded in these Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery.
Conclusion of contract
(1) Our contractual offers are subject to change and non-binding. This shall also apply if we have provided the Buyer with catalogs, technical documentation (e.g. drawings, plans, estimates, calculations, references to DIN standards), other product descriptions or documents – also in electronic form – to which we reserve property rights and copyrights.
(2) The order of the goods by the Buyer shall be deemed a binding offer of contract. Unless otherwise stated in the order, we shall be entitled to accept this contractual offer within two weeks of its receipt by us.
(3) Acceptance may be declared in writing (e.g. by order confirmation) or by delivery of the goods to the Buyer.
Delivery period and delay in delivery
(1) The delivery period shall be agreed individually or stated by us upon acceptance of the order.
(2) If we are unable to meet binding delivery deadlines for reasons for which we are not responsible (e.g. due to non-availability of the service), we undertake to inform the Buyer of this fact without delay and at the same time notify the Buyer of the expected new delivery deadline. If the service is also not available within the new delivery period, we shall be entitled to withdraw from the agreement in whole or in part, and we shall immediately refund any consideration already paid by the Buyer. A case of non-availability of the service in this sense is particularly the non-timely self-delivery by our supplier, if we have concluded a congruent hedging transaction, neither we nor our supplier are at fault, or we are not obliged to procure in the individual case. Our statutory rights of rescission and termination, the statutory provisions on the performance of the agreement in the event of an exclusion of the obligation to perform (e.g. due to impossibility or unreasonableness of performance and/or subsequent performance) as well as Section 3 (5) of these GCS shall remain unaffected. The rights of the Buyer pursuant to Sections 9, 10 of these GCS shall also remain unaffected.
(3) The start of our delay in delivery shall otherwise be determined in accordance with the statutory provisions; in any case, however, a reminder by the Buyer setting a reasonable deadline shall be required.
(4) We reserve the right to make a partial delivery if this appears to be expedient for a speedy processing and the partial delivery is not exceptionally unreasonable for the Buyer.
(5) “Force majeure” means the occurrence of an event or circumstance that prevents a party from performing one or more of its obligations under the agreement if and to the extent that the party affected by the impediment demonstrates that: (a) such impediment is beyond its reasonable control and the party is not at fault; and (b) it could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of entering into the agreement; and (c) the effects of the impediment could not reasonably have been avoided or overcome by the affected party.
Until proven otherwise, the following events affecting a party shall be presumed to meet the conditions designated in (a) and (b) above: (i) war (declared or undeclared), hostilities, attack, acts of foreign enemies, large-scale military mobilization; (ii) civil war, riot, rebellion and revolution, military or other seizure of power, insurrection, acts of terrorism, sabotage or piracy; (iii) monetary and trade restrictions, embargo, sanctions; (iv) lawful or unlawful official acts, compliance with laws or governmental orders, expropriation, seizure of works, requisition, nationalization; (v) plague, epidemic, natural disaster or extreme natural event; (vi) explosion, fire, destruction of equipment, prolonged failure of transportation, telecommunications, information systems or power; (vii) general labor unrest such as boycotts, strikes and lockouts, slowdowns, occupation of factories and buildings.
A party successfully invoking this clause shall be released from its obligation to perform its contractual obligations and from any liability for damages or any other contractual remedy for breach of agreement from the time when the impediment makes it impossible for it to perform if this is notified without delay. If the notice is not given without delay, the release shall take effect from the time when the notice reaches the other party. If the effect of the asserted impediment or event is temporary, the consequences just set forth shall apply only for so long as the asserted impediment prevents performance of the agreement by the affected party. If the duration of the asserted impediment has the effect of substantially depriving the parties of what they had a right to expect by virtue of the agreement, either party shall have the right to terminate the agreement by giving notice to the other party within a reasonable period. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties expressly agree that the agreement may be terminated by either party if the duration of the impediment exceeds 120 days.
Delivery, transfer of risk, acceptance, default of acceptance
(1) Delivery shall be made ex warehouse, which is also the place of performance for the delivery and any subsequent performance. At the Buyer’s request and expense, the goods shall be shipped to another destination (sale by delivery to a place other than the place of performance). Unless otherwise agreed, we are entitled to determine the type of shipment (in particular, the transport company, shipping route, packaging) ourselves.
(2) The risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods shall pass to the Buyer upon handover at the latest. However, in the case of sale by delivery to a place other than the place of performance, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the goods as well as the risk of delay shall pass to the Buyer upon delivery of the goods to the forwarding agent, the carrier or any other person or institution designated to carry out the shipment.
(3) If the Buyer is in default of acceptance, fails to cooperate or if our delivery is delayed for other reasons for which the Buyer is responsible, we shall be entitled to claim compensation for the resulting damage, including additional expenses (e.g. storage costs).
Prices and terms of payment
(1) Unless otherwise agreed in individual cases and subject to the further provisions in this Section 5, our current prices at the time of conclusion of the agreement shall apply.
(2) All prices stated in our offer or in the agreement were calculated based on the applicable purchase, material, and raw material prices at the time of its preparation or conclusion. These therefore represent part of the transaction basis. Since, in exceptional cases, material bottlenecks may occur, resulting in significantly extended delivery times and/or serious changes in the prices of these raw materials and input materials, it cannot be ruled out that this basis of calculation may change significantly and unforeseeably for us by the time of delivery. If, as a result, the previously agreed net price increases or decreases by more than 3%, possibly after offsetting against other increasing or decreasing cost factors, which we can prove upon request, these changes shall be considered in the pricing by way of fair compensation based on partnership. Each contracting party shall therefore have the right to demand that the other renegotiate the prices in good faith within a reasonable period, taking due account of the interests of both parties. In the event of failure of these negotiations, we shall be entitled, in accordance with the statutory rules on the determination of performance by the creditor (Sections 315, 316 of the German Civil Code), to fix a price which reflects the changes and the reasonableness of which is subject to judicial review upon request.
(3) Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, our prices shall apply “ex works”. Packaging costs as well as, in the case of a mail order purchase, the transport costs ex warehouse and the costs of any transport insurance requested by the Buyer, any customs duties, fees, taxes and other public charges shall be borne by the Buyer. These costs shall be invoiced separately.
(4) The place of performance for payments is our registered office.
(5) The statutory sales tax is not included in the prices. It is additionally indicated separately in the respective statutory amount and is also to be paid by the Buyer.
(6) The purchase price shall be paid within the agreed payment period. However, we shall be entitled at any time, also within the framework of an ongoing business relationship, to make a delivery in whole or in part only against advance payment. We shall declare a corresponding reservation at the latest with the order confirmation; Section 321 of the German Civil Code shall remain unaffected.
(7) Upon expiry of the aforementioned payment period, the Buyer shall be in default. In the event of default in payment, we shall be entitled to charge default interest at the statutory rate, which is currently 9 percentage points above the base interest rate, as well as an additional flat-rate default charge of EUR 40.00. We expressly reserve the right to claim further damages. With respect to merchants, our claim to the commercial due date interest (Section 353 of the German Commercial Code “HGB”) shall remain unaffected.
(8) Insofar as we have granted a right to cash discount, this right shall lapse upon the occurrence of the condition subsequent that, after the cash discount promise for an invoice, another invoice due earlier from the business relationship is not paid within the payment period.
(9) Any bills of exchange or checks shall only be accepted on account of performance. Bank charges and costs for bills of exchange shall be borne by the Buyer.
(10) The Buyer may only offset counterclaims to the extent that they are undisputed, acknowledged by us or have been conclusively determined by a court of law. In the event of defects in the delivery, the Buyer’s counterclaims shall remain unaffected, in particular pursuant to Section 9 of these GCS.
(11) If it becomes apparent after the conclusion of the agreement (e.g. due to a filing for insolvency proceedings) that our claim to the purchase price is jeopardized by the Buyer’s inability to pay, we shall be entitled to refuse performance in accordance with the statutory provisions and – if necessary after setting a deadline – to withdraw from the agreement. The statutory provisions on the dispensability of setting a deadline shall remain unaffected.
(1) We shall only take back transport packaging if we are obliged to do so by law or based on a law. We shall also only bear the costs of the return shipment insofar as we are obliged to do so by law or based on a law.
(2) The Buyer shall always return any packing materials expressly made available on loan only and shall immediately send them back to us freight prepaid.
Nature of the goods/samples/technical advice/uses
(1) Unless otherwise agreed, the quality of the goods shall be exclusively determined by our product specification. Insofar as we sell products of other manufacturers, the product specification of the manufacturer shall apply in each case. Notwithstanding the above, the goods supplied by us are normally not suitable for the following areas of application, unless expressly stated otherwise: (a) for implants intended to remain in the body of a human being for more than 29 days; (b) for weapons (including chemical weapons as defined in the Chemical Weapons Convention, landmines and landmine components, and any type of explosive device); (c) devices or components used in connection with human reproduction; (d) general-purpose resins in medical or health applications.
(2) The samples provided by us as well as our technical and chemical data serve only as a general description of the goods. They do not contain any guarantee of quality or durability. Performance data specific to the goods, such as dimensions or weight, shall only be binding in the event of a corresponding agreement or confirmation by us.
(3) Insofar as we provide technical application information or operate in an advisory capacity and this information or advice is not part of the contractually agreed scope of performance owed by us, this shall be done free of charge and to the exclusion of any liability except for intent. It does not exempt the Buyer from checking each individual delivery for its suitability for the intended use before processing. The Buyer shall be solely responsible for the application, use and processing of the goods delivered by us as well as for compliance with the applicable safety regulations.
Retention of title
(1) We shall retain title to the goods sold until full payment of all our present and future claims arising from the purchase agreement and an ongoing business relationship (secured claims).
(2) If payment of the purchase price debt by check/bill of exchange procedure has been agreed with the Buyer, the reservation shall also extend to the redemption by the Buyer of the bill of exchange accepted by us and shall not expire by provisional crediting of the check received.
(3) The goods subject to retention of title may neither be pledged to third parties nor assigned as security before full payment of the secured claims. The Buyer shall notify us immediately in writing if and to the extent that third parties seize the goods belonging to us. If the third party is not able to reimburse the judicial or extrajudicial costs incurred by us in this connection, the Buyer shall be liable for them.
(4) The Buyer shall be obliged to store the reserved goods at its own expense with the due care of a prudent businessman and to insure them against the usual storage risks. The Buyer hereby assigns its claims under the insurance contracts to us. We accept the assignment.
(5) In the event of conduct by the Buyer in breach of contract, in particular in the event of non-payment of the purchase price due, we shall be entitled to withdraw from the agreement in accordance with the statutory provisions or/and to demand return of the goods based on the retention of title and withdrawal. If the Buyer does not pay the purchase price due, we may only assert these rights if we have previously set the Buyer a reasonable deadline for payment without success or if setting such a deadline is dispensable according to the statutory provisions.
(6) If we seize the object of sale, this shall always constitute a withdrawal from the agreement. After taking back the object of sale, we shall be entitled to dispose of it. The proceeds of the sale shall be credited against the Buyer’s liabilities – minus the reasonable costs for the sale.
(7) Until revocation in accordance with (c) below, the Buyer shall be entitled to resell and/or process the goods – subject to the retention of title – in the ordinary course of business. In this case, the following provisions shall apply additionally:
a) The retention of title shall extend to the products resulting from the processing, mixing, or combining of our goods at their full value, whereby we shall be deemed to be the manufacturer. If, in the event of processing, mixing, or combining with goods of third parties, their right of ownership remains, we shall acquire co-ownership in proportion to the invoice values of the processed, mixed or combined goods. In all other respects, the same shall apply to the resulting product as to the goods delivered under reservation of title.
b) The Buyer hereby assigns to us by way of security all claims against third parties arising from the resale of the goods or the product in total or in the amount of our co-ownership share, if any, in accordance with the preceding paragraph. We accept the assignment. The Buyer’s obligations set forth in Section 8 (3) of these GCS shall also apply in respect of the assigned claims.
c) The Buyer shall remain authorized to collect the claim in addition to us. We undertake not to collect the claim if the Buyer meets its payment obligations towards us, there is no deficiency in its ability to perform and we do not assert the retention of title by exercising a right pursuant to Section 8 (5) of these GCS. In the event of the occurrence of one of the aforementioned deficiencies in performance on the part of the Buyer, we may demand that the Buyer disclose to us the assigned claims and their debtors, provide us with all information necessary for collection, hand over the relevant documents and notify the debtors (third parties) of the assignment. Furthermore, in this case we shall be entitled to revoke the Buyer’s authorization to further sell and process the goods subject to retention of title.
d) We shall release the excess securities at our discretion upon the Buyer’s request if the value of the securities exceeds the total of our claims by more than 10%.
Claims for defects; notices of defects
(1) The statutory provisions shall apply to the rights of the Buyer in the event of material defects and defects of title (including wrong delivery and under-delivery), unless otherwise provided below. In all cases, the special statutory provisions shall remain unaffected in the case of final delivery of the unprocessed goods to a consumer, even if the consumer has processed them further (supplier recourse pursuant to Sections 445a, 478 BGB). Any claims arising from supplier’s recourse shall be excluded if the defective goods have been further processed by the Buyer or another entrepreneur, e.g. by incorporation into another product.
(2) The basis of our liability for defects is above all the agreement reached on the quality of the goods. Insofar as the quality has not been agreed, it is to be assessed according to the statutory regulation whether a defect exists or not (Section 434 Para. 1 p. 2 and 3 BGB).
(3) As a rule, we shall not be liable for defects of which the Buyer is aware at the time of conclusion of the agreement or is not aware due to gross negligence (Section 442 BGB). Furthermore, the Buyer’s claims for defects presuppose that the Buyer has complied with its statutory obligations to inspect the goods and give notice of defects (Sections 377, 381 of the German Commercial Code “HGB”). In the case of materials and other goods intended for installation or other further processing, an inspection must in any case be carried out immediately before processing. If a defect becomes apparent during the inspection or later, we must be notified of this immediately in writing. If the Buyer fails to carry out the proper inspection or to notify us of the defect, our liability for the defect not notified shall be excluded. In the case of partial deliveries, this obligation of the Buyer shall apply to each individual partial quantity.
(4) Should the delivered item be defective, we may initially choose whether to provide subsequent performance by remedying the defect (subsequent improvement) or by delivering an item free of defects (replacement delivery). Our right to refuse subsequent performance under the statutory conditions shall remain unaffected.
(5) We shall be entitled to make the subsequent performance owed dependent on the Buyer paying the purchase price due. However, the Buyer shall be entitled to retain a reasonable part of the purchase price in relation to the defect.
(6) The Buyer is obliged to give us the time and opportunity necessary for the subsequent performance owed, in particular to hand over the rejected goods for inspection purposes. In the event of a replacement delivery, the Buyer shall return the defective item to us in accordance with the statutory provisions. The supplementary performance shall neither include the removal of the defective item nor its re-installation if we were not originally obliged to install the item.
(7) We shall bear or reimburse the expenses necessary for the purpose of inspection and subsequent performance, in particular transport, travel, labor and material costs and, if applicable, removal and installation costs, in accordance with the statutory provisions if there is actually a defect. Otherwise, we may demand reimbursement from the Buyer of the costs incurred because of the unjustified request to remedy the defect (in particular inspection and transport costs), unless the lack of defects was not apparent to the Buyer.
(8) If the supplementary performance has failed or a reasonable deadline to be set by the Buyer for the supplementary performance has expired unsuccessfully or is dispensable according to the statutory provisions, the Buyer may withdraw from the purchase agreement or reduce the purchase price. In the case of an insignificant defect, however, there shall be no right of withdrawal.
(9) Any claims of the Buyer for damages or reimbursement of expenses incurred in vain, even in case of defects, shall only be valid in accordance with Section 10 and shall otherwise be excluded.
(1) We shall be liable for damages – irrespective of the legal grounds – in the event of intent and gross negligence. In the event of simple negligence, we shall only be liable, subject to statutory limitations of liability (e.g. care in own affairs), for the following cases:
a) for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health as well as
b) for damages resulting from the breach of an essential contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment enables the proper execution of the agreement in the first place and on whose observance the contractual partner regularly relies and may rely); in this case, however, our liability shall be limited to the compensation of the foreseeable, typically occurring damages.
(2) The above-mentioned limitations of liability shall not apply if we have fraudulently concealed a defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the goods. Any other mandatory statutory liability provisions, in particular according to the provisions of the Product Liability Act, shall remain unaffected.
(3) To the extent that our liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply regarding the personal liability of our employees, representatives, and vicarious agents.
Statute of limitation
(1) Notwithstanding Section 438 (1) No. 3 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the general limitation period for claims arising from material defects and defects of title shall be one year from delivery. Insofar as acceptance has been agreed, the limitation period shall commence upon acceptance.
(2) Section 11 para. 1 of these GCS shall not apply if special statutory provisions on limitation apply (in particular Section 438 para. 1 no. 1 and no. 2, para. 3, Sections 444, 445b BGB).
(3) The above-mentioned limitation periods of the law on sales shall also apply to contractual and non-contractual claims for damages of the Buyer based on a defect of the goods, unless the application of the regular statutory limitation period (Sections 195, 199 BGB) would result in a shorter limitation period in the individual case. Any claims for damages of the Buyer pursuant to Section 10 (1) and (2) of these GCS shall become time-barred exclusively in accordance with the statutory limitation periods.
Applicable law, place of jurisdiction, partial invalidity
(1) These GCS and all legal relations between us and the Buyer shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the exclusion of the provisions of private international law and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
(2) The exclusive – also international – place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising directly or indirectly from the contractual relationship shall be the court responsible for our place of business. This shall only apply if the Buyer is a merchant within the definition of the German Commercial Code, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. However, we shall also be entitled in all cases to bring an action at the place of performance of the delivery obligation pursuant to Section 4 para. 1 of these GCS or a prior individual agreement or at the Buyer’s general place of jurisdiction. Any overriding statutory provisions, in particular regarding exclusive jurisdiction, shall remain unaffected.

Riverside Villa - Garden Suite
Cottage with 1 bedroom in Bagni di Lucca, Italy
Booking cost: £0.00
From £226 per week
Cottage to rent in Bagni di Lucca, Italy
Cottage overview - owner's description
A separate and independent room, part of Riverside Villa. On the garden level, it can be rented only in addition to Teresa or Byron. It can be used by people with limited mobility or with disabilitie
The Garden Suite is an independent room with 2 single beds and ensuite bathroom, it has no kitchen or living room. For this reason it is supposed to be rented together with the Byron or Teresa (see other Riverside Villa houses)
It is ideal if you want to have guests in a separate independent room, but share meal and time with them.
It is also intended for elderly or people with limited mobility. The kitchen/living room of the Teresa house is also on the garden level, and next door, so easy to reach.
The village of Bagni di Lucca
he region around Bagni di Lucca is called Media Valle - Garfagnana and has a multitude of lovely spots and historical towns like Barga, Castelnuovo, Coreglia degli Antelminelli etc... all at an altitude of 500m (1500 feet). This region has attracted many illustrious British visitors in the past two centuries Byron and Shelley, for instance, visited Bagni di Lucca many times. The thermal baths of Bagni di Lucca have been known for many centuries. Montaigne, the French writer, cured his illness in Bagni di Lucca and wrote about it in his memories. In the first half of the 19th century Bagni di Lucca became a fashionable resort of the court of the grand duke of Tuscany. The first roulette in the world was conceived and installed in the Casino of Bagni di Lucca. Although Bagni di Lucca is a small village, its 19th century dwellings confer to the town the looks of an important centre, as for instance the Anglican church, the Protestant Cemetery, the municipal Casino, the Ducal (later Grand Ducal) Palace and Stables, the Demidoff hospital, the Circolo dei Forestieri, Villa dei Fiori, Villa Ada and the Bagno alla Villa.
Another singularity of Bagni di Lucca is its being composed of two separate villages, called "Ponte a Serraglio" and "La Villa". Along both of them flows a lovely mountain river called the Lima, which offers opportunities for fishing and canoeing. There is a large Municipal swimming pool using the thermal water, with a separate diving pool and a smaller pool for children. Excellent tennis courts are also available. There are good opportunities for Trekking and mountain bike riding on trails and paths which afford some lovely views of the valley. Parachute jumping from the peaks of the Apennines is also available in the vicinity of Bagni di Lucca.
During winter, you can enjoy the skying resorts of the Abetone
Riverside Villa is composed of 3 houses attached to each other, and facing a large garden bordering the river Lima.
Just next door are the Mirafiume Tennis courts. The municipal swimming pool is within walking distance. A good supermarket can be reached in two minutes walking. The village of "La Villa" has several good restaurants and stores.
This cottage does not have any reviews but the owner has 23 reviews for their other properties.

Rabbi Dr. Michael Cook
Thursday, March 19, 2009
Saint Joseph's University
Haub Executive Center, Maguire Room - 5th floor of McShain Hall
Medieval and some Renaissance art routinely showed icons of the Synagogue and the Church under the figure of Jesus on the cross, accompanied by all sorts of symbols whose powerful messages were understood then but are commonly unknown now (goats' heads, oil lamps, staffs [broken or whole], banners, chalices, crowns, the 10 Commandments and others). Scriptural characters, too, were often displayed either under the cross or in proximate settings (Jacob's wives [Leah and Rachel], Mary, St. John, John the Baptist, Judas, etc.). Properly interpreted, all these symbol-laden works of art were heavily influential on the attitudes adopted toward Jews by the Christian masses, conditioning the mind set of millions in Europe, and possibly playing some role in allowing Europe to be caught unawares by the Holocaust.

Never before have I simply had to put my camera down and stop taking pictures. But last month, while walking through the Cartier: Style and History exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris, I had to do just that. There simply was no way to capture the incredible heart-stirring exhibition that showcases not only the glamour and elegance of Cartier and the famous people who have worn the brands jewels and timepieces for centuries, but also the incredible impact Cartier has had on style, fashion and luxury.
Last month we brought you an inside look at the amazingly beautiful 600-piece display, but we could only show you a small glimpse of the almost-overwhelming exhibit. Now, we bring you a few more images to whet your appetite and entice you. If you haven’t visited the not-to-be-missed exhibit, do it now- it is only open until Feb 16. Give yourself time, too. For me, two hours wasn’t long enough.
Not only will you witness some of the most amazing never-before-seen pieces on loan from private owners (the tiara of Kate Middleton, jewelry from Marjorie Merriweather Post, Barbara Hutton, Maria Félix, Princess Grace of Monaco, Maharajahs de Padilla and others), but also you will lay your eyes on some of the largest diamonds and gemstones in the world (including the 7th largest yellow diamond). It is also the most impressive collection of clock and objects of art ever assembled. Even today, Cartier continues to draw on the past for creative visions of the future. You just might see the inspiration for the next decade’s statement pieces. Check out the slide show and you will see one of the newest reinterpretations! Bon Jour.

A monster named Barong will occasionally be encountered In the tower. Stand next to it, and throw an item at it. It will eat the item and spit out a completely new one, including special items found nowhere else in the game. One such item is a crossbow that can be used by troll monsters. Other things that may appear include uncommon items like blue and red sands. If you do not want the item that the Barong creates, simply pick it up and throw it back at the creature again. This may be done several times before the Barong refuses to eat.

Whether you're making kimchi or tteokbokki, there's one ingredient you can't do without. Gochugaru (or Korean chili flakes) isn't officially the national spice of Korea, but it may as well be, as it plays a starring role in much of their cuisine. It adds a hot, slightly sweet, and mildly smoky flavor that's as distinctive as it is delicious.
If you're looking to substitute this original spice in your cooking, there are several options available. Red pepper flakes are a serviceable gochugaru alternative that you can find in most grocery stores. It has a less complex flavor but can bring a similar level of heat without adding moisture.
If you're looking for other options to use in your own Korean cooking, try one of the substitutions listed below.
Best Substitutes for Gochugaru
1) Red Pepper Flakes
Since gochugaru is essentially just a type of Korean chili flakes, it makes sense that regular red pepper flakes make a good substitute. They have a similar level of heat, so you can feel free to substitute them at a 1:1 ratio. They're an especially good choice for dishes that you don't want to add any extra moisture to.
The main difference between red pepper flakes and gochugaru that you'll want to keep in mind is the complexity of flavor. While they both have a spicy flavor, gochugaru is more complex, with sweet and smoky notes. If you want to balance the flavor, try adding in a bit of chipotle powder or smoked paprika for a more complex taste.
Both gochujang and gochugaru get their names from the gochu pepper, which is why they have such a similar flavor. However, that's where their similarities end, as gochujang is more of a paste, which will add much more moisture to your dish. In addition to the dried chile, it also contains salt, soybean paste, and glutinous rice flour.
Still, with a bit of planning, it can be a good way to get an authentic gochu pepper flavor. The key is leaving out a bit of the salt you would otherwise add, as well as any strong savory flavors like soy sauce. You'll also want to leave out a bit of moisture to make sure your food doesn't get too soggy.
Overall, gochujang is a good alternative to gochugaru in soups, stews, and sauces. In these cases, you can use half a teaspoon of gochujang for every teaspoon of gochugaru.
3) Chipotle Powder
If you're looking for a spice that can capture the sweet and smoky notes of gochugaru, chipotle powder is your best bet. While it isn't exactly the same in flavor, it provides the same level of complexity with an extra kick of heat. But be warned, it is about twice as spicy as gochugaru, so it's only a good option if you can handle the heat.
It's worth noting that the flavor is smokier than gochugaru because of the way the chiles are processed. In some recipes, this added flavor can fit right in, though if you don't think it's a good match, you may be better off trying a different type of chili powder. The other main difference is the color, which is more of a deep, earthy purple as opposed to the bright crimson of gochugaru.
4) Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper is another good dried chile that won't add any extra moisture to your dish but will bring plenty of heat. Unlike chipotle powder, cayenne pepper has a bright red color that's similar to gochugaru. However, it is also several orders of magnitude spicier, somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000, so you'll want to steer clear unless you love spicy food.
To help tame some of the cayenne pepper's spiciness, you can allow it to cook in a hot pan for a few minutes. Just make sure not to burn it!
If you're making kimchi, cayenne pepper can be a great option, as it has a similar color and texture to gochugaru. In this case, use a teaspoon of cayenne in place of a full tablespoon of gochugaru.
5) Hot Paprika
If neither chipotle powder nor cayenne pepper is exactly what you're looking for, hot paprika might be the perfect option. In terms of color, it's the closest of all three, lending a bright red hue to any dish you add it to. One of the other main advantages of using it is that it's especially easy to find in grocery store spice aisles.
One factor to be aware of before shopping for this spice is that there are several different varieties of paprika. Hungarian paprika won't give enough heat, while smoked paprika doesn't have the same flavor as gochugaru. That's why you want to stick with hot, or Spanish, paprika when substituting.
If you want to try something a little different in your cooking, ssamjang is another Korean staple that brings its own unique character to any dish. Like gochujang, it is a paste that includes spicy, sweet, and savory flavor elements. However, it's a bit different, with a tangier and deeper flavor.
Still, gochugaru is still one of the main ingredients, so if you have any on hand, it can be the perfect alternative. Like gochujang, it can be used to make sauces, stews, and soups, adding a deep and rich flavor. Just bear in mind that it usually has chunks of fermented bean in it, which will affect the texture of your dish.
7) Fresh Peppers
While fresh peppers can't be used in all cases, there are many dishes where they can be a serviceable substitute for gochugaru. You are sure to find at least a few varieties at your local grocery store, letting you pick the best match for your needs. Jalapenos, poblanos, and even habaneros can give both heat, sweetness, and slightly smoky flavors.
Obviously, you wouldn't want to try using fresh peppers in kimchi or any dish where you want a smooth, flowing texture. Though you can feel free to add them to stir-fries or even puree them and add them to a soup.
8) Chile Pasilla
Chile pasilla is the dried form of the Chilaca chile pepper, with a unique flavor and a mild level of heat. While it's not the most common ingredient in American grocery stores, it has a truly unique flavor that can work well in Korean food. It's an especially good option for those looking to cut down on the spice, as it rates only about 2,000 on the Scoville scale.
Chile pasilla is smoky, earthy, and fruity, bringing an even more complex flavor than gochugaru. This can make it a good option for soups and stews, where its more subtle flavors will have a chance to mingle. Just keep in mind that it has a totally different color than gochugaru, so you won't be able to fool your dinner guests.
Still thinking about which of the best substitutes for gochugaru should you use? Check out the table below for our substitution notes.

|Gochugaru is one of the main ingredients in gochujang, so it makes sense to use them as substitutes for one another.
|With a sweet and smoky flavor, it's one of the closest matches available.
|Cayenne pepper is spicier than gochugaru, so take care when using it as a substitution.
|Hot paprika is another powdered chile with a high dose of heat, as long as you get the right variety.
|Another variety of Korean chili paste, ssamjang, is a good option for dishes with a bit more moisture.
|Fresh peppers will have a bit of a different flavor than dried powder, though they can add the right amount of heat and some fresh zing.
|With a lower dose of heat than gochugaru, chile pasilla can be a good choice for those who don't like spicy food.
Traditionally, the peppers used to make gochugaru are dried in the sun before being crushed into a fine powder. However, today, many producers of the spice dry the peppers by other means. Unlike standard chile flakes, gochugaru has the seeds removed beforehand.
Despite the fact that gochugaru is simply dried and crushed chile peppers, it has a surprisingly complex flavor. While high in heat, it also brings sweet and slightly smoky flavors. Overall, it has a balanced taste, which is why it's used in so many Korean dishes.
Gochugaru is 1,500 SHU (Scoville Heat Units), which makes it about as spicy as a poblano pepper. It's not as spicy as many peppers out there, but it can certainly pack a punch in high doses.

from Signs of the Times No. 29 - Apr 2008
The gates of the city shall never be shut by day, nor will there be any night there (Rev 21:25).
From the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, Georgis bin Bakhtisho, Dean of the great Christian medical school in Gundeshapur, Persia, was on his way to Baghdad.
The summons had come from none other than Abua Jafar Abd Allah al-Mansur ibn Muhammad, second Caliph of the Abbasid dynasty, who lay seriously ill with no doctor in Baghdad able to help him. Georgis succeeded in curing the caliph and was appointed physician to the palace. He was the first of eight generations of the Bakhtisho family, who together with many Syriac Christians from the Church of the East served a succession of Muslim caliphs as doctors, friends and advisors. Complaints made to a later caliph, al-Rashid, that Gibra'il Bakhtisho, as a Christian, should not have such a position in a Muslim court brought the answer:
"But I owe my good health to him, and since the well being of the Muslims is dependent on me, their well being is dependent on Gibra'il".
The Great Mosque of Córdoba
It was the second century of the Muslim era. Arab armies had conquered the Byyzantines at al-Yarmuk in Syria (636AD), and the Persians at al-Qadisiyah soon after. They were welcomed by the Nestorian and Monophysite Christians who had endured many decades of persecution following the Council of Chalcedon (451AD). The council now has 'the patina of sanctity'. In fact, it failed to be ecumenical and met in an atmosphere of violence, with a cordon surrounding the city to keep out protesting monks. Imperial officials set the agenda; the overriding aim being to secure uniformity within the empire. Its decisions were referred back to the Emperor for his approval. Step by step, in the great councils, the Church mirrored the totalitarianism of the State and became in effect an arm of the State. Emperors and patriarchs set out to subdue the Christians of North Africa and the Near East. Orthodoxy triumphed and the Christian world was shattered.
Islam brought welcome relief for, as one Nestorian chronicler put it: 'The hearts of the Christians rejoiced at the domination of the Arabs (may God strengthen and prosper it)', and a Syriac Christian wrote how God had: 'raised from the region of the south the Children of Ishmael to deliver us froxm the hands of the Romans'. There was no one to help when the Muslim army took Jerusalem in 637 for the Emperor's forces were far off, harrying Coptic Christians in Egypt. The Egyptian churches were bitterly divided because of Cyrus, patriarch and prefect, a cruel and devious man, who used 'the cross as an iron mace to club native resistance'.
The 'heretical' Syriac Christians were midwives to the birth of Muslim culture and learning. The centre of the cultural world was not in Rome but in the east, where Persian and Greek civilisation intermingled and Christian scholars had long drawn from the riches of both. The 'school of Edessa' (now Urfa in Turkey) known also as 'the school of the Persians', was multi-disciplinary, teaching not only theology, liturgy and biblical studies but also philosophy, medicine, natural sciences, secular history, geography, music and languages. When forcibly shut down by the Emperor Zeno in 489, most of its members founded a new school in Nisibis, Persia. Its first principal was Narsai, a famed poet, exegete, preacher and theologian, known as 'the harp of the Holy Spirit'. Further schools were established in Seleucia-Ctesiphon and Gundeshapur. Generations of physicians were trained in the latter. It was they who gave asylum to pagan philosophers driven out of the Platonic academy in Athens by the Emperor Justinian.
Under early Islam, in contrast to Europe, these were the days of itijihad. Jihad is 'struggle' and can refer to the inward struggle to live according to the will of God or to the outward struggle against the enemies of Islam. Itijihad refers to the struggle for truth, through dialogue, through reason, through learning. In these years it was said that the 'gates of itijihad were open' and Muslims sought wisdom from every source. Christians had translated many Greek works into Syriac and were now well placed to convert these into Arabic. Among the finest scholars was Severus Sabkhut (d 667), who was a doctor, mathematician and philosopher. He was knowledgeable in astronomy and the natural sciences. Then there was Jacob of Odessa, who translated many works from Greek to Syriac and produced a chronicle updating Eusebius' Church History. Yuhanna bin Adi al-Tikriti (b 893) founded a school of logic and translated many philosophical works into Arabic. Qanawati lists over 60 translators at this time, of whom 58 were Christian. Scholars flocked to Dar al-Hikmah - 'The House of Wisdom' - in Baghdad, where sponsors were known to pay in gold the weight of each book translated into Arabic. Its first principal was a Nestorian Christian, ibn Masawah. His most famous pupil was the Christian scholar, Hunayn Bin Ishaq (809-873). He was a master of Arabic, Greek, Syriac and Persian. He led a team of translators and published a guide setting down the principles of accurate translation. More crucially still, he laid the foundation of scientific and philosophical terminology in Arabic. His team translated most of Galen's medical works, as well as many of the works of Aristotle, Plato and Hippocrates.
In these times there were interfaith dialogues between Muslims and Christians. A manuscript is still extant of that between Patriarch Timothy I and the Caliph al-Mahdi (775-85), where Timothy is recorded as saying: 'It is clear that Muhammad walked in the path of the prophets'. Another memorable debate was between Hunayn bin Ishaq and Yehya bib al-Munajjim, who was seeking to convert him. A third dialogue as late as 925 was held in the Green Church in Tikrit between Dinkha of Tikrit and al-Mas'udi. These were not the dialogues of antagonists but of thinkers who respected each other and sometimes worked alongside each other. The Christian philosopher Yuhanna bin Adi was taught by the Muslim thinker, al-Kindi as well as by the Christian, Abu Bishr Matta. Some Arab schools were open to Christians, considering Jesus an ideal of purity and holiness and, unusually for Muslims, accepting the account of his crucifixion.
Such work was key to the emergence of Arab civilisation and an essential conduit in the transmission of Greek knowledge to Western civilisation via the Arabs in Spain. The one exception to this was the remarkable flowering of Irish learning in the seventh and eighth centuries. Significantly, the Celtic churches, also tainted with 'heresy', had maintained contact with the Eastern Mediterranean. It was said that their scholars came to the continent 'like a swarm of bees'. In the ninth century Erigena Scotus taught at the court of Charles the Bald. He translated the writings of Dionysius, the Areopagite (fifth century) and followed him in regarding theology as 'a kind of poetry'. Like the Greek fathers he insisted that truth can only be expressed in paradoxes - 'yes and also no'.
The Muslim empire was, of course, theocratic and it too developed its imperial agenda. Christians suffered progressively from their inferior status, from social pressures and from taxation. The time came when Christians in high office could no longer protect their communities. There was a hardening in Muslim attitudes, a growing Muslim orthodoxy and the closing of the gates of itijihad . As in the hardened orthodoxy of Christianity, religious leaders decided that all important questions had been resolved. Muslims had added greatly to the heritage bequeathed to them, drawing from India, Persia and Greece, and making important advances in science, mathematics, engineering and geography, but the time came when few fresh advances were made. In the ninth century al-Shafi'I codified Islamic law and set out the doctrine of consensus by which, once agreement had been reached, it was irrevocable. The process was completed by al-Ghazali in the twelfth century, who taught that revelation must prevail over reason and predestination over free will. The great Christian communities withered under bouts of persecution and the later onslaughts of Tamerlane's Mongols, of Kurds, and of Ottoman Turks.
* * * * * *
In the year 955 the court in Constantinople was agog. The new arrival was Rabi ibn Zayd, bishop of Elvira in Spain. The astonishing thing was that he was a diplomat in the service of the Caliph of Córdoba. He enthralled the courtiers with his descriptions of the great city - 'the highest of the high and furthest of the far'. He spoke of hundreds of mosques and public baths, of paved and well lit streets, of running water from the aqueducts. The largest library held 400,000 volumes at a time when Christian Europe could scarce find 400 manuscripts in one place. Córdoba was the creation of Abd al-Rahman, the refugee prince of the Umayyads who had fled Damascus when the Abbasids massacred his family. He was the architect of the rich and tolerant culture of Andalusian Spain that survived fragmentation, inter-city wars and incursions from north Africa, and would give its invaluable legacy to Europe even after the Christian reconquest.
The Great Mosque of Córdoba had been adapted from a Christian church, after the manner of the Mosque in Damascus and was shared by both faiths. A new Baghdad had arisen. Hasdai, who was Jewish, became Grand Vizier to Abd al-Rahman III and translated Dioscorides' On Medicine from Greek to Arabic. Judah Halevi explored issues of faith and reason in The Book of the Khazars . and, writing in Arabic, came to be celebrated as 'the greatest poet of Andalusia'. The Muslim philosopher, Ibn Rushd (Averrhoes) wrote his commentaries on Aristotle. The Jewish philosopher, Musa ibn Maymun (Maimonides) wrote The Guide for the Perplexed . The Christian, Peter Abélard, developed the 'sic et non' theology of Erigena Scotus and the early Greek fathers. Islam has a similar tradition represented by the thirteenth century humourist philosopher, Nasruddin. Two men come to him to judge their quarrel. He listens to each in turn, telling them: 'You are right'. When his wife intervenes: 'They can't both be right!', he promptly replied: 'Woman, you're right too!'.
Abélard taught in Paris but learning had flowed from Damascus and Baghdad, through to Córdoba and Toledo and was entering European consciousness. The Christians of Toledo celebrated the Eucharist in Arabic and welcomed scholars from all over Europe. Peter, Abbot of Cluny, who gave refuge to Abélard, used the great library there and commissioned the first translation of the Qur'an into Latin. The greatest of the translators, like Robert of Ketton and Michael Scot, were, in effect, explorers as well, discovering new worlds of learning.
So Muslim science and mathematics spread to Europe - the astrolabe for navigation, algebra (al-gabara), algorithms (taken from the name of al-Khawarizmi) and Arabic numerals (adapted from India). In the thirteenth century it was Sicily where two worlds met and the scholars pored over their books. It was there that the Emperor Frederick came, in 1220, with another crusading army. Astonishingly he was well versed in Arabic and when he took Jerusalem from a less tolerant Christian king, his first act was to restore the Muslim call to prayer.
Nor was Andalusia alone in the world of Islam - far to the north, in fifteenth century Afghanistan, Herat had become the capital of the Moghul Empire. Queen Shad had married the son of Tamerlane and the city became home to a Nestorian-Sufi cultural flowering that made it famous for its poets, its mosques and its libraries. Many of its wonderful buildings survived until it was largely destroyed by the British retaliatory expedition of 1885. Meanwhile in sixteenth century India the Muslim ruler, Akbar the Great, had set out to be 'emperor of all the faiths', marrying a Hindu and holding weekly seminars for Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Jains and Parsees. He abolished the poll tax on non-Muslims, ended slavery in his kingdom and gifted Amritsar to the Sikhs. His contemporary, Elizabeth I, corresponded with him and testified to his reputation for humanity. Did she know how far his dominion outshone the glories of Britain's Elizabethan age?
Why did Andalusia fall into decline? In part, it was bitter Muslim rivalry - 'the years of strife' from 1009 onwards - and in part, it was the fierce fundamentalism of the Berber tribesmen enlisted to defend the caliphate, who then turned on their hosts. Then came the fragmentation and the rivalries of sixty and more city states. In the fourteenth century it was the Black Death that destroyed the very fabric of social and religious order, followed by the triumph of Christian orthodoxy as Ferdinand and Isabella drove the Jews and 'the Moors' from Spain.
Today, the world's fundamentalists would have the gates of itijihad firmly closed. The orthodox may open them but their guardians are wary of the coming and going. The tolerant have no such apprehension but easily become indifferent to those who pass through. It is the seekers and dissenters who can be truly catholic and welcome the interfaith world where uniformities give way to the 'yes and no' of creative thought.
John's vision of Jerusalem is of a city with open gates. Would he recognise that pilgrims come to give as well as receive? 'Orthodox' meant 'right opinion' and came to mean 'true glory', but beware - the truth cannot be gated and guarded. The 'true glory' transcends our lesser creeds. We can take courage, abandon our exclusive past and discover the inclusive God of all people - each with the best of their own.
We should not be ashamed to acknowledge truth from whatever source it comes to us (al-Kindi, ninth century).

A lot has been written on how Virginia’s new offensive philosophy will affect the tight ends on the roster. But not nearly as much has been written on how it will affect UVA’s lone fullback: Connor Wingo-Reeves. The answer won’t be completely clear until the season starts, but it’s likely Wingo-Reeves will spend less time in a traditional blocking fullback role.
The offense employed by new Virginia offensive coordinator Robert Anae began incorporating an H back in 2013, and Wingo-Reeves could see some time there. H backs acts as a full back/tight end hybrids who line up in the backfield and often go into motion. These players split their duties between blocking and pass-catching. Wingo-Reeves only has 8 catches during his career, but he appeared to be growing into a reliable target before an injury sidelined him in 2015.
Wingo-Reeves might also see a bit of time running the football. Anae and Bronco Mendenhall have typically utilized a “big back” in their offenses, and Wingo-Reeves currently stands as the biggest back on the roster. He’d be competing with Albert Reid for snaps there.
Wingo-Reeves’ career has been relatively quiet during his first three seasons. His lone touchdown came last year agaisnt William and Mary (at the 0:57 mark in the video below). Like many Wahoos, he’s likely hoping for a rebirth under the new coaching staff.

After reading Jamera’s June 4th “Transforming Tuesdays” post and the scripture that went along with it, I reflected on the moment in my life when I began to “believe.”
Coming up in my household, my parents instilled in me Christian values. My grandfather was a veteran, business owner, and the pastor of Christ of Calvary Church in southwest Philadelphia. Every Sunday, my mother would get me and my siblings up, dressed, and out the door for the ½ hour ride to church.
Sundays were always so upsetting and incredibly boring for me. I didn’t really like going to church and resolved that, even though I knew church was somehow important, it was something I would probably enjoy more as an adult. I hated that my friends from the neighborhood would be playing outside on Sunday morning, and by the time I got back from church, changed my clothes, and ready to go outside, most of the day was gone – being that it was a school night and everyone would go home early.
Throughout my years growing up, I learned a lot about God, could explain Christian theological doctrine, concepts, and scriptures like a biblical scholar (relative to the average person), but this “knowledge” of God was largely head knowledge, lacking a spiritual and intimate connection to God through experience. Church for me was not a place to go and worship the God that I so-called served, but more a place to socialize, gossip, and hang with my girlfriend.
My pseudo-spirituality had severe consequences on my decision making and the overall way I governed my life. I made poor decisions physically, mentally, and sexually. By 19 years old, I had my first child – a son, named Ziyon. Having chosen not to pursue post-secondary education, I was left to working hard-labor factory jobs that didn’t pay well enough to support a family.
Consequently, I turned to other outlets for cash flow. I attempted a few online businesses that, whilemildly successful in the short-run, ultimately failed. Not willing to give up, I took my younger brother up on an offer to try out selling drugs in Atlantic City. After a year-long stint, I was arrested and subsequently convicted and sentenced to prison.
As stereotypical as it sounds, while in prison, I began to read the Bible – something I’d never done, intently, in my life. Reading the Word of God everyday led me to pray, opening up my heart to God in a way that I never have. I worshipped God. I experienced God. I believed in God. I went from knowing “of” God, to knowing Him personally. It was at this point that I realized how simple faith is, and how my life had taken turns for the worst unnecessarily.
Paul highlights the simplicity of faith in Romans chapter 10. It’s as basic as “confessing with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead.” Rm 10:9. He quotes theOld Testament Prophet, Isaiah, asserting that a believer can rest certain in the foundation of God, and maintains that the Lord is Lord of all, and RICHLY blesses all who call on him.
From prison, after beginning my relationship with Him, the Lord began blessing me. I was able to do two years in prison on a six year sentence and be paroled. My entire prison bid was without incident. Through divine intervention, I met a Rutgers history professor who helped me get admitted to the University in 2009, and I just graduated this past May – magna cum laude. I will be attending the University of Cambridge in the UK for my Masters degree, have already secured gainful employment upon my return in 2014, and am engaged to my beautiful fiancée, Ashley, who I will marry in 2015.
All these blessing, and the blessings that I receive from the Lord on a daily basis are constant reminders of God keeping is Word. God is faithful, even when I am not. He has never let me down, let me fail, or brought me to shame. Choosing to believe in God has revamped my perspective, decisions, and trajectory of my life. And since I’ve known God, my life has never been the same.

Kim Alexis is every inch the successful supermodel. A flawlessly beautiful blonde with cobalt blue eyes and perfect skin, she is 5 feet 10 inches without shoes. Her chiseled features, often described as ``the face of the `80s,`` stand up to the exacting requirements of the camera.
Alexis, daughter of a chemical engineer, grew up in Lockport, N.Y., and already has more than 100 magazine covers to her credit including Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Glamour and Bazaar. A frequent model in the Sports Illustrated ``swimsuit issue,`` she also has signed a lucrative long-term agreement to be the model in the slick Ultima II ads. Reportedly, this contract makes her a millionaire.
Married two years ago to a Florida-based real estate developer, James Stockton, Alexis commutes between Manhattan, where she keeps an apartment, and Florida.
In 1978, Alexis was accepted into the University of Rhode Island`s pharmacy program. To earn extra money for college, she took a summer modeling course and a friend sent a photo of her to the Elite Agency in New York. Alexis was immediately signed. She was 18 years old, a novice beginning with a $2,000-a-day salary. Now she`s 24.
In this interview over tea at the Hotel Plaza Athenee in New York, Alexis is dressed in a white man-tailored Tahari pantsuit. Her mother, Barbara, is similarly dressed.
``Photographers always have an idea of what they want. Some want to capture the inner reflection of you. Some want you to jump around and portray high energy. You have to work in tandem with the photographer no matter how you feel. Self-control is important. There has to be a lot of communication between the photographer and the model.
``Sometimes it`s based on body language, just imitating a pose that the photographer strikes. Sometimes it`s an instinctive reaction to the clothes or the music. Photography is a two-way street. There`s a lot of trial and error involved.
``Modeling is an exciting career. You wear great clothes. You`re around people with good taste, people who are professionals. You get together with them and you create a beautiful photograph that makes a specific statement. You try to capture a moment that projects a message.
``Sometimes a photographic session fails in the short run. You`re just not getting something. But, really, it`s impossible to fail in the long run. The photographer takes roll after roll after roll. Usually it`s possible to get at least one great picture.
``But one famous photographer, a man I worked with in Paris, someone covering the couture collections, simply couldn`t make a certain picture happen. There was no magic. The photographer didn`t seem to understand angles. I didn`t like the clothes I was wearing. So we stopped. The photographer said he couldn`t go on. Neither could I.
``I did the same session with another photographer and he approached the pictures in an entirely different way. I was wearing the very same clothes. But this time it worked. The photographer is the other half of the creative process. The model doesn`t do it alone. The photographer doesn`t do it alone.
``Before I married, I had a career. Then I fit the marriage into my life. If I`m away too long, the marriage seems threatened. There`s no sharing. The balance of career and marriage is off. But sometimes my husband looks at me and says: `I don`t want you to go.` I don`t. Other times he says: `Go. You`re driving me crazy. You`ve been home too long.` So I go. Some day I want to have children. But not now. Maybe in five years. When we got married, my husband said: `In five years, we`ll start a family.` Now we`ve been married over two years. My husband is still saying: `Five years.`
``I try to be nice when people recognize me. I`m aware that I have fame. But people can go overboard in their reaction to fame, put too much emphasis on it. Recently one person who recognized me clutched her stomach, as if in pain, and exclaimed: `I can`t believe that I have met you.` And I said: `Oh, stop that.` I`m very aware that I have visibility. But, to me, visibility is just part of the business that I`m in.
``I`m not a feminist. I believe woman was made for man. Feminism just isn`t important to me. If you believe in yourself, you don`t have to worry about how other people perceive you or react to you. You don`t have to worry about equality. Male models don`t earn as much money as female models. Actually, there are more jobs for women because there are more products for women to sell. As far as other businesses are concerned, I`m up there in terms of earning power. I earn as much as any successful man. And I`m doing it at a young age. When I was 18, I was already trying to figure out what to do with my money. I already had a need for a lawyer and a financial adviser.
``My mother taught me values and priorities. She also taught me never to be rude. She has very fine manners, someone who`s always pleasant and nice. She taught me that niceness always gets you farther than rudeness.

Finance of the Church
From the earliest times, funds have been needed to pay for the priest and the fabric of the church building at Ugborough.
When the church and its parish were created, before 1121, two sources of revenue were given to fund it. One was land, which could be cultivated or rented out to support the rector. The second was tithe, a church tax collected on produce. This was traditionally supposed to be one tenth of the ‘profit’ or increase of the surplus of everyone’s land, but in practice the amount varied. In addition, individuals would give gifts to the church, offerings and also raise funds for special projects. The church itself would also have been given land and animals over the years, administered by the churchwardens for the upkeep and daily costs of the church.
According to the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535, Ugborough Rectory (ie the living) was worth £76 11s 11/2d.
When Plympton priory was dissolved and the patronage passed to the Crown then the Champernownes/Savarys, the patrons kept the rents and tithes and paid a pension of £20 a year to the vicar. The rector and then the vicar had use of a house during their ministry. In 1384, Archbishop William Courtney of Canterbury dined with the rector of Ugborough in his house, on his way to visit Cornwall. The house also had a garden with an orchard.
In the very cold year of 1591, only £13 10s was collected from rents and £28 came from tithes. A terrier – land register – of around 1600 records that there were 20 houses and 100 acres of lands which belonged to the vicarage, which Christopher Savary of the parish of Totnes held, renting them out to various tenants; the tithe paid on wool and lambs was worth £200 per year.
When the Grocers’ Company purchased the living of Ugborough, their records show that in 1788 the greater tithe produced £101 0s 9d. The rate was 2/6 in the pound which they increased to 3/-, which then produced £117 19s 6d. In 1810 they produced £160 3s 2d and in 1844, The commissioners recorded that they represented 1061 acres out of which 83 acres constituted the glebe, which paid the £20 for the vicar’s stipend.
Over time, the stipend paid to the vicar declined in real terms. Polwels in 1797 remarked that the vicar’s stipend was still £20 per year, although the living itself was worth £1000 by this time. The vicarage was also spacious but old and in poor condition by this time. However, during the later 18th century, the glebe land which supported the vicar was augmented by the purchase of Brownston farm by the patron John Savary, under the terms of Queen Anne’s Bounty, which added £6 to the vicar’s revenue.
Collecting tithes caused many disputes in parishes and the revenue from them – based on the average price of corn – because increasingly inconvenient for clergy and landowners. In 1836, Parliament passed the Tithe Commutation Act. Based on land values, tithes were converted to an annual money rent. All land in England and Wales had to be surveyed and valued in order to apportion the rent and so detailed maps were drawn up. Ugborough has two tithe apportionment maps, one dating from 1842 surveyed by John Taperell and one from 1843 surveyed by John Grant. The Tithe Commutation Act commissioners assessed the value of the tithe at Ugborough at £185, to be apportioned across liable lands.
In 1869, the Local Government Act relieved the church of remaining social welfare and government functions. From this date, the church had to raise its own revenue as it could not levy a rate. At the Easter vestry meeting of 1869 it was proposed that the upkeep of the church be met from weekly offerings and voluntary contributions. In 1895, church receipts from ordinary revenue were £47 0s 3d; expenditure was £53 10s 6d so there was a deficit of £6 10s 3d.
In 1924, the vicar was still collecting rents due in lieu of tithes. £100 19s 4d was paid on 78 different properties which had owed tithe to Ugborough church.
Public subscription and donations were vital as sources of revenue. The 1861 renovations to the church were paid for by the Carew family, the Grocers’ Company and subscriptions. The churchyard extension of 1903 was paid for by contributions from 81 donors, the largest gifts being £3 3s from F.B. Mildmay MP and £3 from N.W. Rowe. In 1909, the Misses Carew contributed to the restoration fund and the choir fund. However, the new organ and refurbishment of the south chapel in 1938 cost £450, of which £205 was raised through a loan, to be paid off in 10 years.
The Grocers Company as patrons have always assisted the maintenance of the church. In the late 18th century they paid for major refurbishment to the vicarage and its little estate at Brownston, at a cost of £230. 1861, they gave £120 to the restoration of the church. In 1939 they gave £200 for a project of installing a new electric Hammond organ and refurbishment of the south chapel. They continued to assist the church fabric regularly today.

Discussion in 'Transformers Toy Discussion' started by FrankyWest, Feb 24, 2009.
I found this on TF08.net
I had to look around a bit, I don't know anything chinese
It's that WST Trailer?
I wouldn't know, I din't even know they did a wst trailer
That's WST alright. However, I did not know legends Prime was that small!
neither did i, but sweet in a way!
that looks like the Japan exclusive movie repaint of Spychanger Optimus Prime. Spychangers are smaller than Legends figures. Also, you have to keep in mind the G1 OP trailer is way too tall for a properly scaled trailer, so the trailer looks good on a truck that is a little larger than the original WST.
That's the new Legend Optimus. I see the slot in the back for the Jetfire connection and the lines where the panels move for the feet to come out.
Nice fit on the trailer, actually.

Miley Cyrus can't stop, and she won't stop -- getting racy for the camera, that is.
The teen singer, who caused a stir in the entertainment world during Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards, has moved on from her highly-criticized raunchy performance, and now she's posted a handful of provocative new images to her Twitter page.
The singer appears from behind in three new shots, the first in a red bra and black thong over white spanx, showing her backside; the second while squatting in a red Chicago Bulls bikini top and hot pants with Michael Jordan's name and number; and the third flashing the middle finger over her shoulders and wearing a warmup jacket and no pants.
Miley also posted an image of the cover of her upcoming album, "Bangerz", which, we assume, is not a reference to English sausage. The new album is due October 8.
Speaking of the MTV VMAs, she also posted an image back in July while licking a Moon Man (the trophy given out at the awards ceremony), writing, "Gettin fresh with my future moon man."
Unfortunately for Miley there was no Moon Man in her future this year as she failed to win any of the four awards for which she was nominated.
See two versions of Miley's new album cover on the next page.

The Growing Fearfulness of Muslims in Europe
Aired February 3, 2010 - 15:00:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, CNN ANCHOR: Tonight, are Europeans suffering an identity crisis? Is Islamophobia rising?
Good evening, everyone. I'm Christiane Amanpour. Welcome to our program.
From burqas to minarets, Muslim symbols are under assault in Europe. The French immigration minister on Tuesday said that he will deny citizenship to a man who ordered his wife to wear a full Islamic veil, and this happened just a week after a parliamentary commission recommended a partial ban on any veil that covers the face.
A recent opinion poll says that almost 3 in 5 French people support the recommendation, but some Muslims say that it threatens their religious identity. CNN's Jim Bittermann met two women who choose to wear the full veil.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JIM BITTERMANN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Mabrouka Boujnah, of Tunisian origin, and her friend, Oumkheyr from Algeria, say they prefer to cover their faces out of piety. Oumkheyr, in her 40s and not married, says she even has friends who wear full veils against the wishes of their husbands.
The pair, both French citizens, insist they're only following their religious beliefs and France should respect that.
Still, even some Muslims here think the full veil goes too far. An imam at a suburban Paris mosque says there is nothing in the Koran that directs women to cover their faces and says it's ridiculous to do so in France. Other religious leaders are angry about the public debate, which they say once again casts Islam in a negative light.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
AMANPOUR: And that public debate is not confined to France. In Switzerland, voters last year approved a ban on the construction of minarets on top of mosques. And Islamic anger over the 2005 Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad continues to this day. After years of threat, there was a vicious attack on the cartoonist in his home on New Year's Day.
So joining me now to discuss all of this, from Copenhagen, Naser Khader, a Syrian-born member of the Danish parliament who represents the Conservative Party. And later, we hope to have Tariq Ramadan, a leading Islamic scholar from Oxford University who will join us from Paris. Here in the studio, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a former Dutch lawmaker. She's an outspoken critic of Islam and now lives in the United States after death threats.
Thank you both for joining us. Let me go straight to you, Mr. Khader there in Copenhagen. What is going on in Europe? Is there genuinely an identity crisis? Or is this fear-mongering and negative stereotype?
NASER KHADER, DANISH LAWMAKER: Let me first (inaudible) point out that the majority of the Muslims in Western Europe are doing well. They are well-integrated, law-abiding, and loyal citizens. And the majority in Denmark are a part of the labor force, and they contribute to this society. And the majority of the Danish people are open-minded and want to include the Muslims.
But what the majority doesn't want is the political Islam and the symbols of political Islam. And the burqa is a part of the political Islam that the majority rejects.
AMANPOUR: OK, so in other words, what the French are doing -- Mr. Khader, would the majority of Muslims in Denmark support what the French are doing, and that is banning what they call the burqa, but what really is the niqab, the full face veil?
KHADER: You know, my party, the Conservative Party, we proposed last summer a general ban on burqa and niqab, but the justice department in Denmark told us that it will be in conflict with the Danish constitution.
So now we are trying to do it difficult for a woman to wear burqa and niqab, because it is (inaudible) of women wearing burqa and niqab, and it has nothing to do with Islam.
AMANPOUR: OK. OK.
KHADER: And in an open society, as the Danish, we have to see each other's faces. So being against the burqa and niqab are not the same as being against Islam. Being against the political Islam is not the same as being Islamophobic.
AMANPOUR: All right. Well, let me ask you, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. You've gone through your own issues with being -- with all of this in the Netherlands. Your friend, Theo van Gogh, was assassinated by an anti -- or by an Islamic fanatic.
AYAAN HIRSI ALI, FORMER DUTCH POLITICIAN: Yes.
AMANPOUR: What do you make of banning the burqa? You heard Naser Khader saying that generally people accept it and like it.
ALI: Well, I don't care what people wear. And I've been a member of parliament, and we discussed covering one's face in the context of security. If you wear a mask or cover your face in a context where we're facing terrorism, where the CCTV camera is where everybody has to give -- show their identity, then coming out and saying, "I want to cover my face on grounds of religion," I would support. We say, no, not your religion, but the security of the community takes first place.
Discussing the burqa and niqab, I would say to Muslim women -- and it's every time when I hear about headscarves, burqas, niqabs, I always think, let's discuss the principles that underlie them. If you cover yourself -- and I grew up as a Muslim.
I know what it means. It means, I, as a woman, have to cover my body, my face, everything about me, so that the male can have no sexual temptations or, if he has them, he can control himself, and that's what we need to be talking about. We need to be discussing those principles that underlie the dress, the dress code, and instead of...
AMANPOUR: Well, what about the two ladies who spoke with our correspondent, Jim Bittermann, saying that, frankly, they do it by choice, they want to do it, and if they didn't do it, they would feel more restricted, because they wouldn't be able to go out in the open?
ALI: Well, if they do that in open societies, if you flaunt your religion in open society, then you have to expect that people are going to react to it. That's how we do things in Europe. That's how we do things in the United States.
So cover yourself that way, come out into the open space, into the public space, flaunt your religion and your politics, and expect no discussion and say everyone who asks you a question about it to call them Islamophobic, that's what is wrong.
AMANPOUR: All right. And I'm going to -- I'm going to play this short bit of an interview from Andre Gerin, who's the French parliamentarian who's head of the commission on the burqa, which just came out with these recommendations. Listen to what he has to say about it.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ANDRE GERIN, FRENCH PARLIAMENTARIAN (through translator): It is, perhaps, a marginal problem, but it is the visible part of the iceberg. Behind the iceberg is a black tide of fundamentalism which is happening in certain parts of our country, a kind of Sharia, and it's not possible. It is completely contradictory with the way we live, the laws of the French republic.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
AMANPOUR: Well, Ayaan Hirsi Ali just said, "Fantastic." You obviously agree completely with what he just said.
ALI: I agree completely with what he said.
AMANPOUR: A black tide of fundamentalism.
AMANPOUR: All right. Let me go to Tariq Ramadan, who's now joining us from Paris. Presumably you heard what Mr. Gerin just said there. Is that hyperbole? Is that an exaggeration? I mean, is a veil really the tip of the iceberg of a tide of fundamentalism?
TARIQ RAMADAN, ISLAMIC SCHOLAR: Look, first, it is an exaggeration, because all the figures that we have in France and even throughout Europe are showing that it's a tiny minority of women who are wearing the niqab and the burqa.
And at the end of the day, the question here is a question of visibility and how -- if we agree or not with the niqab is not the question. Myself as an Islamic scholar am not supporting it, but we have some scholars saying it's Islamic. So how are you going to change the perceptions and the interpretations by banning it, by pushing the woman to go home, or by having something (inaudible) and educational process within the Muslim community?
AMANPOUR: Well, how do...
RAMADAN: So this is the first point which is really important.
AMANPOUR: Well, how do you...
RAMADAN: But the second point which is important, if I may...
AMANPOUR: I want to ask you how you resolve this issue, because one of the imams in France just this week, who supported this ban, he then got threats from fellow imams. So how do you have this discussion not just within Muslim and non-Muslim parts of society, but within the Muslim part of society, let's say, in France?
RAMADAN: But this is it. This is it. I really think that -- don't make it controversial and symbolic at a point where the discussion is no longer possible, because it's so -- you know, we have less than 2,000 women wearing the headscarf and -- the niqab in France, and we are coming with a law and discussing six months of controversy.
And one point which is really important, what we heard coming from Denmark, it's exactly what we heard here. In fact, by banning the burqa, banning the way the people are dressing, we are against our own values. In fact, we are nurturing fear, and we are not having a constructive debate.
So I would prefer to have Muslim citizens, European citizens and French citizens to be part of the process and together to find ways to reach the people, to make them understand the right way to understand Islam.
But banning, coming with laws and restrictions, and (inaudible) conscience, this is not going to work. This is -- this is simply a dogmatic mind responding to the reality of a religious community which is settling down. And now we have to get it. Islam is a European religion, and it's part of the society.
AMANPOUR: All right. If that's the case, Mr. Khader, you're an MP, Syrian-born. You are a member of the Danish parliament. How does one have this discussion without these spikes of controversy and phobias and fear?
KHADER: I think -- you know, first, I have to say it's not a question of number. One is one too many. Burqa and niqab has no place in Western Europe.
The second I want to say is, maybe 1 of 10 women chooses herself, but 9 of 10 doesn't do it herself. So, you know, burqa and niqab -- in Denmark, we have around 200 women wearing burqa and niqab. And...
AMANPOUR: Two hundred women in all of Denmark? That's all?
KHADER: In all of Denmark, yeah. That's what a report told us. We don't know it exactly. We don't know it exactly. But it's -- one is one too much. You know, it's about principles. Wearing burqa and niqab is oppressive of women. And many Muslims are against the burqa and niqab. And it's a phenomena that is increasing in the Muslim world, but also in Western Europe.
So the Danish people are not against Islam. They want to live with a peaceful Islam. The Danish people are against political Islam and its symbols.
AMANPOUR: Right, so...
KHADER: And so, during the cartoon crisis -- you know, during the cartoon crisis, we saw the majority of the Muslims, they demonstrate for Denmark, and they showed they were loyal to Denmark and Danish society...
AMANPOUR: We'll talk about -- we'll talk about that right after a break. We'll be back with more from our guests in a moment, so stay with us.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BERNARD KOUCHNER, FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTER: What is absolutely clear, for all the political spectrum in France, we cannot support this oppression of women. This is in the name of the women and the women (inaudible) that we are fighting against that, not -- no burqa in the public sector. For the rest, it has not been decided. But, you know, this is in the name of, let's say, the women's lib, if I may say so.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
AMANPOUR: In the name of women's lib. That was French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner talking to me last week.
And joining me again, our guests, Danish lawmaker Naser Khader, Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, and the former Dutch MP, Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Now, you were busy nodding your head frantically, saying that you got all heated up. I mean, Tariq Ramadan is saying that Islam is part of Europe now.
It is a European religion. Get used to it. Some people will want to wear their religious symbols, just like nuns wear habits. What's wrong with that?
ALI: Islam is not a European religion. There are Muslims in Europe, and they bring Islam to Europe. Islam is a set of beliefs. It's a set of values. And what we are seeing in Europe is that there is conflict between the values of Europe and the values of Islam. And those Muslims who adapt, choose to adapt to the values of Europe will become Europeans, and they will be able to believe and to practice the religious dimension of their religion...
AMANPOUR: I guess my -- what my question is...
ALI: ... of Islam. But they will not be able -- and I think they're going to run into problems if they try to bring political Islam into Europe, and that's what we're seeing. We are having a discussion...
AMANPOUR: About political Islam.
ALI: ... about the political dimension of Islam. Islam has a political dimension. It has a social dimension, for instance, women's position. It also has a religious dimension. We are not having a discussion about praying five times a day, fasting at Ramadan, et cetera. But we are having a discussion about basic human values that European have resolved and Muslims have not.
AMANPOUR: OK. Tariq Ramadan, Europeans have resolved basic human and democratic values and Muslims have not. And would you buy the idea that, in fact, a lot of these women in France are doing it as a political gesture and as a -- as a sort of identity, a national identity?
RAMADAN: It has nothing to do with this. Look, what we have now -- and this has to be also -- you know, we have a conservative MP from Denmark, and we have someone who is speaking about Islam, saying in order to be European, you have to be less Muslim, because Islam has in itself a political dimension.
So I think that we are not listening to what the Muslims -- the European Muslims and the American Muslims are saying. I think that Hirsi Ali should listen to what the president, Barack Obama, was saying when he was talking to the Muslims and to the Muslim -- the Muslim majority countries.
He was also saying to the Americans, look, Islam is an American religion, and now we have to rely on fact and figures. We have millions of European Muslims who are abiding by the law, speaking the language of the country, and they are now loyal to their country. And they are doing this as an act of faith.
It's not for Ayaan Hirsi Ali, even though she was a Muslim, it doesn't mean that because you were a Muslim, you are open-minded. You were a Muslim...
ALI: Mr. Ramadan...
RAMADAN: ... maybe and some others. The point is...
ALI: Mr. Ramadan, we are having...
RAMADAN: ... that we have Muslims today who are abiding...
ALI: No, Mr. Ramadan, we are having -- we are having Muslims...
RAMADAN: ... by the law, and I am a European. I am a European.
ALI: I'm sorry. We're having Muslims who are stuffing explosives into their underwear and who are taking flights to kill innocent people.
AMANPOUR: But that's got nothing to do with the veil, Hirsi.
ALI: It doesn't have anything to do with the veil.
RAMADAN: Who is speaking about killing innocent people?
ALI: But it has to do -- it has to do with...
RAMADAN: Who is speaking about killing innocent people?
ALI: ... reading the Koran, participating in jihad, which is a major concept in Islam, and who say it is my religion, it's my God who tells me to kill innocent people, it's my God who makes me impose...
RAMADAN: We are saying exactly the opposite. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
ALI: You are not saying exactly the opposite. You are an Islamist in the closet.
RAMADAN: We are sorry. We are sorry.
ALI: You are saying you want to tranquilize everyone into believing that Islam is a religion of peace...
RAMADAN: Look, this -- I'm sorry.
ALI: ... and come out and say, as the numbers increase. I do not like your argument. I'm very suspicious of your argument when you say it's only a small minority of people, when you know in places like Iran...
ALI: ... in Egypt, in Algeria, that it all started out with a small group, with a number of minorities, and that increased.
ALI: And in democracies, numbers matter. Demography matters.
AMANPOUR: Ayaan -- Ayaan, she's made a very strong point. Tariq, listen. She's made a very strong point, and she's basically echoing what Andre Gerin said, in a way, that this veil is the visible part of an iceberg and, behind that, is a black tide of fundamentalism. So obviously people like Ayaan and the people like the French government believe that this is the beginning of some kind of tidal wave.
ALI: It's empirics (ph). It's not just the belief...
AMANPOUR: But hold on a second -- no, hold on a second.
ALI: It is the beginning, Iran, in 1970s. There were only about 10 people who were wearing the veil.
AMANPOUR: Would you let him respond, Ayaan? Go ahead.
RAMADAN: Let me...
AMANPOUR: Go ahead, Tariq.
RAMADAN: I'm sorry. It's impossible to speak. It's impossible to speak to someone who has (inaudible) and the problem is...
ALI: Maybe it's the first time you're listening.
RAMADAN: ... Islam, per se. So let me -- let me finish, please. What we have today is a new visibility of Muslims, and that's true. Let us really look at facts and figures. We have a tiny minority of women who are wearing the niqab and the burqa, and we have some extremist views that we have to condemn by saying it's wrong to kill innocent people, it's wrong to impose anything in the name of Islam.
And what is said by the great, great majority of the Muslims around the world and in Europe, as well as in the states, is that it has to be a free choice. We cannot impose even the headscarf. The women should be autonomous and free and no violence. And killing innocent people as it was done in the states or anywhere else...
ALI: That is not true.
RAMADAN: ... in Muslim (inaudible) countries, this is not acceptable. So the point is now, let me come to what Gerin is saying. Gerin is saying...
ALI: But he's not...
RAMADAN: ... of the Muslims, that there is a problem. Let me -- let me finish. Let me finish. There is, yes, a problem with the new visibility, because the people are perceiving this new visibility as a new colonization. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. It's that the Muslims are...
ALI: Mr. Ramadan, it has nothing to do with colonization.
AMANPOUR: Hold on. Hold on one second.
ALI: ... immigrants -- Muslim immigrants to Europe...
RAMADAN: Ayaan Hirsi Ali -- Ayaan Hirsi Ali wants to...
ALI: I came to Europe. You came to Europe.
AMANPOUR: Ayaan? Hold on one second.
AMANPOUR: Tariq, hold on one second. Tariq?
RAMADAN: ... Ayaan Hirsi Ali, let me -- let me...
AMANPOUR: Hold on. Sir, hold on. No, hold on a second.
RAMADAN: Ayaan Hirsi Ali...
AMANPOUR: You will get your chance in one minute. Hold on.
AMANPOUR: I want to read some statistics, because there's obviously a lot of -- a lot of sort of stereotyping going on. Look, 90 percent of Muslims in Belgium feel very strong sense of local belonging; 78 percent of Muslims in England feel a sense of belonging to Britain; 49 percent of Muslims in France feel a sense of belonging; and 23 percent who feel German.
Let me go to Naser Khader for the last word. Why is such a lot of hysteria, when the facts speak to mostly integrated Muslims? Why do politicians and...
AMANPOUR: ... elements of the media focus so hard on -- on the few people who maybe want to wear the niqab or the veil or whatever it is, Naser?
KHADER: You know, the discussion about niqab and burqa is just a little part of the discussion of political Islam. As I started saying, that the majority of the Muslims in Western Europe and in Denmark are well- integrated and loyal citizens.
A recent survey in Denmark told us that the majority of the Muslims in Denmark are an integral part of the labor force. Many of them are becoming a part of the Danish middle class.
But we have -- but we have a minority that living in ghettos in parallel societies. Physically, they are living in Denmark in the West, but mentally they are living in the Middle East.
KHADER: And that's the problem. The small groups are making the problem for the majority.
AMANPOUR: All right. Now, we have to finish this conversation on TV, but we have a webcast, and we're going to continue this online. So if you would stand by, we will have that after this broadcast.
But for now, for more on Muslims in Europe, go to amanpour.com, where we have an interview with a French Muslim woman who says that a ban on the burqa would isolate her from French society. That's another view.
Next, our "Post-Script," a fascinating look at the intersection of Islam and Christianity in one family in Britain. We'll be right back.
AMANPOUR: And now our "Post-Script," after that very lively discussion. The Muslim population in Britain is one of the largest in Europe at just over 2 million. It includes many converts, including journalist Yvonne Ridley, who you might remember was briefly held prisoner by the Taliban in 2001. Yvonne's mother did not support her daughter's conversion. Just look at this short film clip.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
YVONNE RIDLEY, JOURNALIST: When I sent you an e-mail, because I didn't have the guts to tell you to your face that I'd become a Muslim, you said it was like a death in the family, and that's what started you going to church again.
JOYCE RIDLEY, MOTHER OF YVONNE RIDLEY: Well, it didn't really start me going, but I suppose it made me more -- it more important to me to go to church, because I had to start praying for you.
YVONNE RIDLEY: Whenever I come back to Tanfield (ph), I think I'm the only hijabi (ph) in the village.
JOYCE RIDLEY: Yes, and I'm glad you don't go out very much.
YVONNE RIDLEY: Oh, Mom. Are you ashamed of me?
JOYCE RIDLEY: Well, I'm not ashamed of you, but I can't get used to the idea of you wearing the hijab.
YVONNE RIDLEY: I suppose you'll be having bacon sandwiches, as well?
JOYCE RIDLEY: Bacon sandwiches are the tastiest thing on this Earth.
YVONNE RIDLEY: Oh, Mother. You are what you eat, and if you saw what pigs ate, you would never touch another pork chop again.
JOYCE RIDLEY: The last thing your dad had before he died was a bacon sandwich. He walked out into the garden and he...
YVONNE RIDLEY: And dropped down dead.
JOYCE RIDLEY: Dropped down, yeah.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
AMANPOUR: Differing points of view. The Open Society Institute says that Muslims in Britain are better integrated than in other parts of Europe. And as we said earlier, almost 80 percent of Muslims in the U.K. identify themselves as British.
So to see a longer version of this film, go to our Web site, amanpour.com. You can also submit a short video about your world, and we may play it right here.
And that's it for now. We'll be back tomorrow with a look at China. For all of us here, goodbye for now from New York.

Community Building: What Makes It Work: A Review of Factors Influencing Successful Community Building
a book by Paul W Mattessich and Barbara Monsey
(our site's book review)
This book identifies 28 factors, such as leadership and community awareness, and examines how each one can help build a community more effectively and efficiently and how a community can increase its ability to work together, to problem-solve, and to make group decisions.
Community Building: What Makes It Work: A Review of Factors Influencing Successful Community Building has a What Makes it Work section that shows you what really does (and doesn't) contribute to success. This practical report reveals twenty-eight keys to help you build community more effectively and efficiently. Utilizing the research in this book, you can save a lot of time looking for best-practice information. With this concise, comprehensive report, you've got the tools to help your community building work succeed.
The report will aid you to:
- Find out what community characteristics contribute to successful community building.
- Make sure key processes such as communications and technical assistance are in place.
- Determine if community leaders or organizers have essential qualities such as a relationship of trust and flexibility.
- Evaluate the likely success of a proposed project or get a struggling effort back on track.
- Characteristics of the Community. These are the social, psychological, and geographical attributes of a community and its residents that contribute to the success of a community building effort.
- Characteristics of the Community Building Process. These are factors that make up the process by which people attempt to build community, such as representation, communications, and technical assistance.
- Characteristics of Community Building Organizers. These factors are the qualities of those people who organize and lead a community building effort, such as commitment, trust, understanding, and experience
Examples, definitions and a bibliography make this report even more valuable.
Wilder researchers purposely limited the definition to a specific type of community: People who live within a geographically defined area and who have social and psychological ties with each other and with the place where they live. This definition requires both geographic bounds and social ties. Obviously, this is an irl f2f definition that does not include many types of social networks that people consider communities, albeit cybercommunities. Those are also valid communities but rely on connections rather than bonds—which are deeper.
Community building generally refers to building the social networks within the community, and developing group and individual problem-solving and leadership skills. The report defines community building as: Any identifiable set of activities pursued by a community in order to increase irl f2f community social capacity.
Community building generally refers to building the social networks within the community, and developing group and individual problem-solving and leadership skills
The broad capacities relevant to community building are abilities to develop and sustain strong relationships, solve problems and make group decisions, and collaborate effectively to identify goals and get work done. When one builds community capacity, one is increasing the extent to which members of a community can work together effectively.
Working with these (and other) definitions, WilderResearchCenter identified 525 written evaluation studies of community building. They sorted this literature based on a set of criteria. The screening reduced the final number of reports to 48. Two reviewers independently extracted the 28 success factors from those reports.

The above review refers to using this excellent community building book to guide your community building efforts. There is another way, a way that builds optimal irl f2f communities: See MCs.

You just can’t make this stuff up.
The Hudson River was originally crossed by Native Americans in canoes. Later, early Dutch settlers used rowboats. No tolls were charged. Now, of course, we have cars and other vehicles, the George Washington Bridge that connects Fort Lee to Manhattan, and, we have the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey collecting tolls for crossing that bridge. Those tolls are significant and growing.
So, sharing rides across the bridge, to save money, and to reduce vehicular traffic and pollution, seems like a no-brainer. Indeed, the Port Authority has a carpool plan that offers a discount of six dollars for vehicles carrying three or more passengers.
But, not so fast, not so simple. Carpoolers hoping to catch a ride across the bridge, from the New Jersey side, are being intercepted by PA police and ticketed. The story appeared recently in The Wall Street Journal. So, the incentive is costing them not saving them? These folks are trying to take advantage of the PA’s discount plan and the PA police are thwarting their efforts? Let me try it another way: The plan is offered by the Authority and its police are ticketing people for taking advantage of it?
The George Washington Bridge is the busiest bridge in the world, accommodating nearly 100 million vehicles each year. That’s a lot of tolls! That fact, of course, is “the rub.” The bridge is one of the world's busiest spans and is the Port Authority's biggest money-maker. This year, it is projected to take in $625 million. Even so, Port Authority sources estimate that it loses some $7 million a year to toll cheats.
So, with so much money at stake, it appears the Port Authority police are cracking down not only on “toll avoiders,” but they’re lumping in those who engage in informal, not pre-planned, ride-sharing, claiming that “impromptu shares” are dangerous and ought not to be allowed. PA police issue citations to drivers who stop for passengers after quizzing the occupants to determine that they don't know one another even though--please note--there is no law against picking up strangers. Accordingly, the charges typically applied are for an illegal lane change or stopping at a bus stop.
Many people plead guilty and pay a fine to avoid having points added to their license. These are not minor matters, however; the tickets amount to several hundred dollars.
There are no official meeting points or matching services for carpoolers. So drivers approach the bridge and pick up pedestrians at a bus stop, just before the toll plaza, giving a free ride to two commuters, to reach that magical number three to lower their cost and speed their trip across the bridge.
It’s at that point that their plans come undone, not, by the way, when the arrangement plays itself out in the opposite (non-toll paying) direction. Evidently the concerns the PA police have apply only with carpooling in one direction, not both!
The crackdown on carpools, says the Journal, smacks of a revenue-grab by the Port Authority which has been criticized for lavish pay and benefits. With extensive overtime, some toll collectors make more than $100,000, while salaries for several officers working at the bridge topped $200,000 last year.
Less tolls to collect, less time for the collectors?
Listen to some of the letters….
The Port Authority, then, is acting against its own policy. Makes you wonder how serious it was in the first place.
Elinor Ostrom, the political scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Economics (and died this month), provides some insight here, although, admittedly, economists might think I’m stretching her work in making this connection. Ostrom focused on how ordinary people can manage resources more smartly than companies or governments. (Ostrom looked at natural resources like forests, oil fields, fisheries.) She concluded that citizens have capacity and power beyond those of governing bureaucracies and that, taken together, the acts of individuals can matter quite a lot, even with something as small as Port Authority tolls and practices. For those who pick up riders, and for those who accept those rides, to make for more efficient, less expensive (and environmentally sound travel), it’s a moment to savor.
Local knowledge, cooperation and enlightened self-interest can be far more effective than policy-makers are wont to acknowledge.

WHAT WE DO
Get in touch with us today.
We needed our funds to be in our account a lot faster than 3 to 4 days. We reached out to BSS Kent, they reviewed everything and somehow saved us 60% on our transaction charges compared to First Data with Barclaycard. We now receive our funds Same Day!
They helped us secure a good deal for our Hotel in Rye, looked at all utility bills and we switched it all over including our Credit Card machine from Global Payments to Barclaycard, especially at a time when prices are quite volatile they saved us a rather significant amount.
We sent over our current Merchant Statement with Worldpay, within 24 hours we received a very detailed comparison in a PDF file highlighting around £300 per month in savings. Of course we switched to Barclaycard for our payment processing, Tejas came and set everything up.
Tejas came to see us to review our card charges for our Car Servicing Garage, within 30 minutes he had highlighted 40% reduction in charges along with showing us some charges we were unaware of.
BSS Kent saved us around £3000 per month across our 5 restaurants located in Kent. Very professional and easy to talk to.
I had just taken on a new premises to open my long awaited Hair Salon, Tejas popped in and sorted all of our services out, sorted out the change of Tenancy with the energy suppliers and got us in to a fixed price contract, arranged to have a new phone line installed with Fibre Broadband, and setup our card machine to accept payments.

The planned expansion to cover more of Anslow Village via a new Relay at Anslow Park has been put on hold. We at Kijoma have sadly not received the support required to give us the confidence to invest in supplying our service there.
This does not affect those people who we can connect to our existing infrastructure and of course it has no effect on those already connected.
In other news, Kijoma has been forced to sever working relations with a supplier, Burton Aerials. This decision was reached after much deliberation due to the time and money we have invested in training and support. However despite their excellent field engineers, there were insurmountable difficulties within the management and administration of our account.
Ultimately it is Kijoma's highest responsibility to ensure our customers receive the best service and that our suppliers provide their services in an efficient, cost effective manner and to our specification.
Kijoma have new installation teams in training at present and new installations will resume once this is complete.
In the meantime Kijoma will be installing new customers during our visits to fit new infrastructure in Staffordshire and Derbyshire.
Additional Note : Please would existing customers use our main support number for any support or account queries.
New enquiries : Please use the "contact us" form on this site.

Our firm represents medical service facilities and healthcare professionals throughout the US. This includes physical therapists (PTs) who are either immigrating or coming to work in the US on a temporary basis. A new question that is being asked by PTs is, ďWhy am I not getting my Visa Screen Certificate? Iíve been told I need a masterís degree.Ē
Not all PTs will need a masterís degree. In order to understand who will need a masterís degree, one must understand the criteria applied by the two credentialing bodies. The Visa Screen Certificate is the trademark name of the immigration certification issued by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). This certification is needed before a working visa can be issued to healthcare workers. CGFNS can issue immigration certification not only for RNs but also for PTs, occupational therapists, medical technologists and speech language pathologists.
One of the purposes of the Visa Screen is to confirm that foreign-educated PTís have a substantially equivalent education to that of an accredited US degree in physical therapy. The CGFNS professional standards committee developed the educational standard based on whom the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Educationís (CAPTE) would accredit. CAPTE stopped accrediting bachelor's degree programs in the United States as of January 1, 2003. Therefore, accredited US degrees in physical therapy are now only offered at the masters level.
As a consequence, when CGFNS evaluates the education of a PT, it will first look at what year the education was completed. If it was completed prior to January 1, 2003, the applicant must have the equivalent of a B.S. in Physical Therapy. Post 2003 graduates will have to show they have the equivalent of a Masterís degree.
The Foreign Credentialing Commission on Physical Therapy (FCCPT) is an alternative credentialing body for the PT immigration certificate. FCCPT uses a Coursework Evaluation Tool (CET) established by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy that has been studied and determined to be a reliable, valid tool. The CET has also been validated against the CAPTE criteria.
The CET consists of a course-by-course evaluation to ensure the minimum credits in particular subjects are earned. It is therefore possible that PTs with bachelorís degrees may be found to have a substantially equivalent education based on their extensive course work. Not all PTs with bachelorís degrees will meet the CET requirements. The CET draws no distinction as to when the degree was earned. This means if a PT applicant received a B.S. prior to 2003, but does not have the requisite courses on the CET, no certification will be issued.
Recent and upcoming PT graduates can visit the FCCPT website and obtain a copy of the coursework checklist. This is a powerful resource that can help current PT students in bachelorís programs to wisely select courses and electives. For many other PTs, there will be no other alternative than to return to school and obtain the missing classes. For most, this means completing a masterís program.
PTs who intend to immigrate should carefully review their education against the different standards. In some states, only an FCCPT credential evaluation will be accepted for licensure, limiting with whom the PTís may apply. A career in physical therapy in the US can be a rewarding one. PTs must be realistic and understand the requirements needed to pursue this career in the US.

MIT's Real Assets
Recent faculty discussions have focused on MIT’s roles and responsibilities regarding major global problems. The President’s state of the Institute report in this newsletter, “A Beacon Beyond Our Borders,” describes the new initiatives surrounding energy and the confluence of the life sciences and engineering as well as the expansion of international relations. The update on the MIT Energy Initiative by Ernie Moniz and Robert Armstrong provides important details. Dean for Undergraduate Education Dan Hastings summarizes new features and programs in our undergraduate education, emerging from two years of faculty discussion, which will enhance student appreciation of these global problems.
Issues such as climate change, sustainable energy sources and economic development, eradication of disease and provision of a modern health care delivery system, as well as the decay of our national infrastructure system, cannot be successfully addressed incrementally. Small steps will not be adequate to cope with the consequences of past neglect. We need bold, imaginative, long-range solutions.
Fully mobilizing MIT’s research activities in areas of global concern will certainly require new financial resources. However, MIT has an additional untapped major resource that needs to be fully utilized in developing out-of-the-box solutions: It is the talent, curiosity, and willingness to be bold when motivated that is innate within our student body. This scientific and technological creativity together with the willingness to explore new frontiers needs to be fostered and encouraged. The student Energy Fellows and Campus Energy Task Force initiatives are good examples of fostering student engagement with sustainable energy sources. The recent efforts to join forces by the Center for Global Change Science and the Earth Science Initiative should open up new opportunities with respect to global environmental issues.
The faculty has an obligation to our students to provide the focus and support students will need in tackling these global problems. Silent Spring, published in 1962, mobilized global concern over chemicals in our environment. The work of two dedicated chemists made us aware of the hole in the ozone, resulting in a major global accord on eliminating CFCs. The UN Global Climate group, together with the book and movie “An Inconvenient Truth,” have broadened world consciousness to the serious threat of global climate change, and the dangerous consequences to us all of benign neglect on the part of governments, corporations, and societies. These were the works of excellent minds with a great deal of curiosity and a determination to protect the well being of humanity.
MIT is blessed to have thousands of penetrating young minds among us. We need to mobilize their energies, provide intellectual context and guidance, and support their innate enthusiasm for tackling serious problems.
The financial support provided by external sponsors is a measure of their trust in MIT’s ability to tackle these critical issues in creative and imaginative ways. Although we welcome such support, MIT needs to step forward in the utilization of its own resources to provide independent support for student/faculty initiatives addressing pressing issues.
With respect to the many problems beyond sustainable energy, we do not need to wait until additional financial resources are in place to address them. Our key task is to rally the troops.

Bankruptcy proposal is one of the mechanisms provided by the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act in giving you a second chance for your business to recover with a licensed insolvency trustee as intermediary, the company can then file a proposal to its creditors in order to find common ground enabling it to survive and continue its operations.
From the immediate filing of a proposal, the company is protected from seizure, it suspends interest on debts, puts a stop (under certain conditions) to commercial leases. Moreover, unpaid creditors to the government such as GST and QST may be released from administrators under certain conditions.
This approach consists of three parts:
- Notice of intention to make a proposal: The notice of intent allows the company to protect itself against any legal action that might emit one or more creditors. During this step, the licensed insolvency trustee would have the role of analyzing the financial status of the company and issuing a report. This step is not mandatory to the filing of a proposal. This step is frequently used to suspend all procedures, but if the company does not need to suspend it, it can be filed directly by a licensed insolvency trustee.
- Filing the proposal: The filing of the proposal and report written by the licensed insolvency trustee will be sent to the creditors via mail or in person. To explain the impacts of the proposal or bankruptcy, an estimate of the dividend proposal compared to a bankruptcy will be presented in the report.
- Creditor’s vote: For it to be accepted, the proposal must receive responses from at least 50% of the total number of creditors, obtain in favour at least 66.6% of votes (in monetary value) and have court approval. Therefore, the proposal is accepted, all creditors voting or not, will be linked to one of these.
- The advisors of BLT Lapointe & Associates Inc. will guide you through this stages to allow you to get out of your situation as quickly as possible and for the better of it.

- SAN FRANCISCO -
Katie is the Head of Experience Design at Airbnb, San Francisco. She’s leading the team of interaction and visual designers creating high-quality experiences both online and offline.
Airbnb is an online marketplace to discover exciting places to stay at or to rent out your own home.
We first got in contact with Katie as a happy Bravur customer and got interested to know more about her.
Bravur: Tell us a bit more about your background and how you started your current position.
Katie: I got into design pretty late in life. After graduating college I saw a 60 Minute special about IDEO, a design consultancy. That’s the first time I had ever heard about Product Design. I was mesmerized and excited. I discovered my dream job — designing products that solve problems. As quickly as possible, I picked up and moved across the country for design school. I studied Product Design at Art Center College of Design.
After school, I went to frog Design, a global design consultancy based in San Francisco. There I worked on design projects for large companies like Intel, Disney and Chase Bank. We helped these companies with their innovation strategy and helped them bring new products and experiences to market.
I started as a Design Analyst that was responsible for user research and interaction design and over the years I grew as a leader and eventually became a Creative Director. As Creative Director I managed people and led project teams. It was gratifying work but at a certain point, after five years, I found I wasn’t being challenged – I was too comfortable. I left frog and went to work with startups at unique venture capital firm, Greenstart, which invested in early stage startups with design services rather than capital.
Greenstart gave me a chance to feel the energy and chaos of startups. It was exhilarating. We helped really young, small companies create a business with design at the ground level. We helped the founders learn the design process and see how putting the user first could help them build a strong business that people would love. It was incredible to see how much impact design can have on a young company and I started to long for further, longer-term involvement. So after a year at Greenstart, I left to pursue a job in-house and leave the world of consulting.
I met Joe Gebbia (co-founder of Airbnb) in January of 2014. He saw me speak at an event called Design+Startup. My talk was about critique—a core part of the collaborative design process. My message struck a chord with him and I was invited to interview for the Head of Experience Design position. They were looking for someone to lead and manage the rapidly growing team of interaction and visual designers. My background in the consultancy and startup world, leading teams and building user experiences was well suited for the work at Airbnb and they brought me on board. It’s an incredible place and I am just so thankful I spoke at that event!
B: Tell us about a typical day at work!
K: I’m responsible for a team of 35 designers that work in close partnership with engineers and product managers. I spend most of my day meeting with my team and these partners looking for areas where we can improve our methods and output. On a daily basis I am in interviews with candidates, I meet 1:1 with direct reports, and I participate in design reviews. Every day is a bit different and the time flies. I don’t have a desk, I go from one meeting to the next and get a lot of walking in.
B: What you design really goes beyond the screen since it will in the end become a real life experience for the user – how does this affect your process and way of working?
K: It’s important that we never lose sight of the big picture. While we obsess about the details, we need to remember that every pixel, every screen, every moment contributes to one experience that is felt over time and place. To help us remember this, we have our user journey depicted in a storyboard (like a comic strip) on the wall where everyone can see it. It reminds us all – from design to finance to human resources – that we are all in it together.
B: Would you consider Airbnb as a lifestyle brand or a site for accommodations?
K: Airbnb is definitely more than accommodations. Accommodations is the piece that’s easiest to describe and ascribe a price to, but the truth is, the thing that builds loyalty and has people most excited is the experience they have and the people they meet. When you travel on Airbnb you can get to know a new place like you were a local. We hear countless magical stories from people that made new friends by traveling on Airbnb and got to better understand different cultures. They see Airbnb more than a place to stay, as do we.
B: What are the biggest advantages staying at a person’s home compared to staying at a hotel?
K: Airbnb helps people better understand different places and cultures. Traveling on Airbnb is most like staying at a friend’s house in another part of the world. When you go you feel at home and you can get to know a place through a local’s eyes. Airbnbs are throughout a city, often outside of the tourist areas. It helps you get to see a different side of the city, often not depicted in tourist guide books.
B: How is the “renting out your home” differing between different countries and cultures – are some cultures more or less open to this than others?
K: The core of hospitality is universal. We see that throughout the globe people has a desire to help each other, a want to connect with others, and of course a finical interest to make some extra money. In this way we don’t see a difference of open or closed cultures. We do however see some differences in peoples’ expectation of hospitality. For example we learned from people in Japan that they wanted to see reviews only from other Japanese noting they want to know if a place is “Japanese clean.”
B: Finally, what is your own favorite place to go to and why?
K: Lake Tahoe, three hours north of San Francisco. It’s a mountious region great for skiing, hiking and lake time. It’s close enough to San Francisco to get away to on the weekend, and it’s a great way to disconnect from the chaos of work and the city.
Plus it reminds me of my youth. I grew up just outside New York city in the suburbs. On the weekends and holidays, my family would go to the mountains in the Adirondacks (upstate New York) for family vacations. It was a great place to grow up spending time outdoors and now Tahoe is my reminder of those great days.

Supplementary MaterialsSupplementary Details. recessive severe combined immunodeficiency known as reticular dysgenesis (RD) is definitely Masitinib reversible enzyme inhibition characterized by the absence of neutrophils, T and natural killer (NK) lymphocytes and by bilateral sensorineural deafness. Red blood cells, platelets and/or B cells are affected in some cases. Clinical manifestations appear in the first few weeks after birth, owing to Masitinib reversible enzyme inhibition profound neutropenia that cannot be corrected by administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). At present, the only available treatment for RD is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.3 RD is known to be caused by mutations in the gene, leading to an absence of AK2 protein expression.4, 5 AK2 belongs to the adenylate kinase family and is widely expressed in many tissues and in all hematopoietic cells. The AK2 protein is located in the intermembrane space of mitochondria, whereas other members of the AK family are cytoplasmic (AK1, 5, 7 and 8), nuclear (AK6) or located in the mitochondrial matrix (AK3 and AK4).6, 7 The AK2 protein regulates intracellular ATP levels by catalyzing the reversible transfer of a phosphate group in the reaction ATP+AMP ? 2 ADP.6 It is known that AK2 senses AMP, modulates metabolic signaling processes and maintains energy homeostasis in the cell. Recent studies have shown that the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) requires high energy levels, which are provided by the activation of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in the mitochondria.8 It has also been suggested that deregulation of AK2 function could be involved in the alteration of mitochondrial metabolism and, consequently, in the development of human disease.9 With a view to understand AK2’s involvement in hematopoiesis, we developed an RNA interference strategy lentiviral-mediated gene transfer of AK2 short hairpin RNAs into human hematopoietic progenitors or cell lines. Our present results demonstrate that in the absence of AK2 protein expression, progenitor cells could neither proliferate nor differentiate into lymphoid and granulocyte lineages. We also identified AK2 as a major regulator of energy rate of metabolism C suggesting a primary link between your differentiation block seen in RD individuals as well as the rules of mitochondrial function. Outcomes AK2 insufficiency impairs success and differentiation in T and NK lymphoid lineages To be able to monitor AK2’s part in lymphoid T-cell differentiation, we got benefit of the option of bone tissue marrow (BM) examples from RD individuals (known as P3, P4 and P6 inside our earlier report5). Both Lin was contained by These samples?CD34+Compact disc10+Compact disc24? and Lin?Compact disc34+Compact disc10+Compact disc24+ progenitor populations C indicating that multilymphoid progenitors aren’t suffering from AK2 deficiency (Shape 1a). Open up in another windowpane Shape 1 Impaired cell blockade and success/proliferation of T-cell differentiation in AK2-deficient cells. (a) BM mononuclear cells from an RD individual (P3) were examined by movement cytometry, to be able to evaluate the existence from the multilymphoid progenitor human population (i.e., the Compact disc10+Compact disc24? human population that makes up about 12% Masitinib reversible enzyme inhibition from the Compact disc34+Lin? subset). (b) Two BM examples from RD individuals (P4 and P6) and one test from a wholesome donor had been sorted to be able to purify Compact disc34+ hematopoietic progenitors. To monitor T-cell differentiation, cells had been seeded on OP9-hDelta1 cells. After 35 times of tradition, we examined by movement cytometry for the current presence of a Compact disc4+Compact disc8+ JNK T-cell human population. (cCg) CB Compact disc34+ progenitors had been transduced with shAK2 or shCont, sorted for GFP+ cells and plated on OP9-hDelta1 cells until D35. (c) The modification as time passes in the percentage of GFP+ cells in shCont-transduced cells (dark squares) or shAK2-transduced cells (dark circles) (shAK2, was also affected (Numbers 1f and g and Supplementary Shape S1C). We utilized the same technique to evaluate the capability of AK2-knocked-down Compact disc34+ progenitors to differentiate into NK cells. We noticed a considerably lower amount of GFP+ cells in the shAK2 condition (in accordance with the shCont condition) (Shape 2a). Three times following the initiation of NK cell differentiation, higher disruption from the mitochondrial membrane potential was recognized in shAK2 cells (Shape 2b). Proliferation didn’t look like reduced shAK2 cells (Shape 2c) than in shCont cells..

Sonny Melton, a West Tennessee native, killed protecting wife during Las Vegas shooting
'He Saved My Life' Sonny Melton's Wife on Husband Who was Killed During Las Vegas Shooting video by Michael Schwab/Tennessean
A West Tennessee native is among at least 59 people killed Sunday in Las Vegas, a victim of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
Sonny Melton, 29, was killed in the attack, his wife Dr. Heather Gulish Melton confirmed.
In a Facebook post, Gulish Melton says she “lost my true love and knight in shining armor. I appreciate the prayers but I just need some time.”
She said she's not ready to tell his story yet.
"I want everyone to know what a kindhearted, loving man he was but at this point I can barely breathe," she wrote to USA TODAY.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders heralded his heroism from the podium at the White House at an afternoon briefing.
She also mentioned several other victims who came to the aid of others.
“Their examples will serve as an eternal reminder that the American spirit cannot, and will not, ever be broken,” Sanders said.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police say one of their own was among the scores of concertgoers killed when "lone wolf" gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on crowds at the Route 91 Harvest music festival. USA TODAY
Melton worked as a nurse at Henry County Medical Center in Paris, Tennessee, according to his Facebook page. A hospital spokeswoman could not confirm any information when asked Monday morning.
Gov. Bill Haslam expressed his condolences in a statement.
"I am praying for the many people affected by the senseless act of violence in Las Vegas. In particular, Crissy and I extend our condolences and prayers to the family of Sonny Melton, from West Tennessee, who was among those killed in this tragedy," Haslam said.
Melton’s Facebook states he is from Big Sandy, Tennessee, a small community about 150 miles northeast of Memphis.
Las Vegas law enforcement say at least 59 are dead and more than 500 injured after a gunman opened fire Sunday evening upon attendees at the Route 91 music festival.
Police say the gunman, believed to be 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, killed himself.
Sonny was 'living the dream,' friend says
Jesse Kelly was a friend of Melton’s for years, since elementary school.
“We really became close during high school and college when we both went to UT Martin,” Kelly said.
Kelly described Melton as one who enjoyed life, helping people and “living the dream.”
“That was what he’d always say when we saw each other,” Kelly said with a laugh. “I live in Jackson now, working for the state, and he’d drop by and see me and I’d tell him I missed hanging out with him more when we were in college.
“He’d just tell me, ‘Man I’m living the dream.’”
Kelly said he was there when Melton met his wife Heather about four or five years ago.
“She was his world, and I talked to her this morning,” Kelly said. “She said he’s the reason she’s alive right now.
“It’s so sad. They’d just finished building a house on Kentucky Lake there in Big Sandy, and I think they were in Vegas taking a trip to go to the concert to celebrate that. They loved traveling all over to concerts.”
Melton’s uncle, Kelley Brewer, talked about his nephew at a prayer vigil held for him in Big Sandy.
“He grew up in our church at Ramble Creek, and he was a great young man,” Brewer said while fighting back tears. “You never understand when things like this happen.”
Michelle Lowry is a friend of Melton’s who was always glad to see him come into the gas station she once worked at.
“I knew whenever he came in we were about to lock it down and have a good time,” Lowry said. “He was always helping somebody and always willing to help.
“I wish everybody knew a Sonny Melton.”
Union University posted on its Facebook page about Melton, who graduated from their nursing school in 2015.
"Our hearts go out to the family of Sonny Melton, a 2015 Union University graduate who was killed in the Las Vegas shooting yesterday," the post said. "Sonny completed his Bachelor of Science in Nursing Accelerated degree from Union and was president of his BSNA class. He worked in the emergency department at Henry County Medical Center and was attending the country music festival in Las Vegas with his wife, Heather Gulish Melton."
One of Melton's instructors commented about him.
“You know how when you meet someone and you just know that they’re good and kind? That was Sonny,” said Christy Davis, assistant professor of nursing, in the Union Facebook post. “He just had a sweet, kind spirit about him.”
“The thoughts and prayers of the entire HCMC family are with Sonny and Heather’s families,” said Thomas Gee, CEO at Henry County Medical Center, in a press release. “We ask that all staff, friends and patients of the couple respect their privacy at this time and refrain from contacting the family and the HCMC Kelley Clinic if they do not have a reason to do so.”
Melton worked for West Tennessee Healthcare as a Surgical Intensive Care Unit RN in 2016.
“He was a kind, compassionate nurse who lived life to the fullest," said former nursing director Trisha Ross. "He took great care of his patients.”
Country music star Jason Aldean was on stage when a gunman attacked the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada late Sunday night. At least 20 concertgoers were killed and at least 100 others were injured, according to local authorities, who said Monday that the casualties are still being counted. Aldean, who was the headliner on the final night of the festival, was able to take shelter. A representative for Aldean confirmed that "he, his band and crew are all unharmed." The country music community expressed shock and disbelief at the shooting. Wochit

President Trump is the single biggest threat to moderate conservative immigration reforms
As I sojourn with my wife’s family in McAllen, Texas before heading to law school in the autumn, I unwittingly find myself in the epicentre of the biggest political and social crisis to afflict the United States this year, with the federal government effectively enforcing a revised policy of separating illegal immigrant or asylum-seeking parents from their children when apprehended crossing the border, and then losing those children in an inept bureaucratic handoff between government agencies, including cases where the parents are later deported while their children remain in US detention.
I find myself witnessing this situation as a new immigrant to the United States, one who applied for a green card through marriage and entered the country in the proper lawful way after considerable time, expense and stress; I do so as a conservative who favours greater democratic control over the levels of immigration (though my personal preference is not automatically for lower levels of immigration to the United States, just for politicians to better consider popular opinion and uphold the rule of law); and I do so as someone increasingly convinced that President Donald Trump is the single worst thing possible to happen to conservative efforts for reasonable immigration reform and stricter future border enforcement.
At this point we are used to witnessing statements and events which would spell the end for any other presidency or administration, and seeing those outrages and scandals swiftly disappear into the rear view mirror as Donald Trump drives on unscathed. At this point, nobody seriously thinks that this latest drama will be the straw that broke the camel’s back, the issue where Trump finally crosses the event horizon of political survivability. But it may well be the moment when conservatism totally loses control over the immigration narrative, when the media’s cynical conflation of all types of legal and illegal migration reaches its manipulative zenith, and when the Open Borders Left are handed the propaganda coup they need to grow in strength and influence.
This is one of those issues where conservative hair-splitting about unfair media coverage and lost nuance relating to the Trump administration’s behaviour will achieve precisely nothing – and rightly so. The fact that children (albeit not children forcibly separated from their parents) languished in holding pens during the Obama administration does not excuse or justify an extension of this kind of detention under Trump. Wailing that it is the duty of Congress to fix the issue (as many Trump apologists are currently doing) is particularly hypocritical, since Republicans control both the House and Senate and could act immediately on their own, and a supercharged executive office willing to issue far-reaching executive orders on almost any issue could dictate new instructions for the processing through the Department of Homeland Security in even less time.
Ignore the appalling public relations consequences of this policy for a moment – it is wrong on a basic level for asylum-seekers to be denied access to legitimate ports of entry in order to tacitly encourage them to make illegal crossings, thus triggering family separations, as is apparently happening. No matter how dubious some of these asylum claims may be, effectively closing the US southern border to all legal asylum claims before they can even be lodged is a grave abdication of any nation state’s moral responsibility. By all means detain families pending vetting and apply strict scrutiny to their claims. By all means find many of those claims without merit and initiate deportation proceedings where necessary. But the United States has a moral responsibility to at least consider those claims, and a country as rich as America ought to be able to easily build facilities for family detention before applying a draconian new interpretation of existing laws and regulations which would inevitably see greater strain placed on threadbare facilities and processes.
The American television news media was camped out in force in McAllen, Texas last night. Driving around, I saw MSNBC broadcasting live from outside the Ursula CBP processing center, in addition to a number of Spanish-language news services, while CNN were camped out in neighbouring Brownsville. These are media organisations which at the best of times actively sought to blur the line between legal and illegal immigration, going so far as to employ the euphemistic term “undocumented” to minimise the lawbreaking aspect of illegal immigration. These are the organisations which deliberately conflate all types of immigration and suggest with very little subtlety that legitimate concern about uncontrolled illegal immigration is the same as opposition to “immigrants” in general. And the actions of the Trump administration only vindicate the already ideologically-skewed position taken by the mainstream press.
The eyes of the US media, and increasingly the world, are focused on the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas because of an entirely self-inflicted crisis – both a political crisis for the Trump administration and a setback for advocates of stronger immigration control in general, but more importantly an humanitarian crisis affecting innocent children and increasingly the reputation of the United States.
When this immediate crisis is behind us – and Trump will end up caving, no matter how he spins it – those on the Open Borders Left will use this incident to tarnish anyone and everyone who advocates for conservative immigration reform and stronger enforcement. This will now be a millstone around the necks of anybody who dares to claim – against already-strong ideological headwinds – that our society cannot function if any degree of need serves as a valid ticket for illegally crossing national borders.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe, as with the 2016 presidential election, the mainstream media are acting as such an echo-chamber on this issue that they have convinced each other (and me) that a majority of Americans are outraged by what they are now witnessing on television when in fact an electorally-viable plurality are perfectly fine with separating asylum-seeking parents and children in order to act as future deterrent. Perhaps. But my guess is that this inept, badly executed and deliberately callous policy execution goes too far, even for many people who support President Trump or are otherwise willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I see no upside here whatsoever. Certainly no moral upside – and it is the children, current and future, who should be our top priority in this mater – but no political upside, either. This is yet another one of those issues where hugging Donald Trump too close will burn conservatives to a degree they do not yet fully appreciate, even now. People are already talking about the administration’s pig-headed implementation of the family separation policy and subsequent tongue-tied response as being the “Hurricane Katrina” of the Trump presidency, the event from which an already-beleaguered administration never truly recovered. And Trump goes into this scandal with far less institutional goodwill than George W. Bush enjoyed in 2005.
So to my mind, we are faced with an appalling choice: either Donald Trump prevails with his policy and the mean-spirited attitude which bred it, in which case America truly has taken a sharp turn toward selfishness and authoritarianism, or he has overreached in a way which will quite possibly fatally tarnish by association the reasonable conservative argument for stricter border security and enforcement.
If, within the next decade or so, we see a de facto open borders position prevail in the United States, with even more overt encouragement of illegal immigration and even fewer efforts to prevent it or enforce the rule of law, then we may well look back upon this moment, this policy, this incompetent administration as the final catalyst.
It would be deeply ironic – but no longer beyond the realm of possibility – if Donald Trump ends up being the president who does more than anyone else to make open borders a reality in our time.

Testimonials for ZEBAIDA GROUP @Keller Williams Realty
This letter is to commend Robert Zebaida on a job well done. He represented me in the sale of my townhouse which just closed in May 2012. It wasn't an easy sale. Due to the poor market conditions I had to sell it for almost half of what I paid for it in 2005, thereby forcing me to short sale it. I had listed it prior to hiring Robert through an agent out of Maplewood, NJ and when it didn't sell (the realtor literally did nothing for me!) I interviewed and hired Robert. I immediately trusted him and felt that he was the person for me, that if anyone could sell my house that it was him. From the time Robert took my contract he feverishly looked for a buyer for my (beautiful) townhouse. He found one quickly and worked hard to get to contract and bring that to the bank. After 3 months we lost the buyer due to the bank's dragging their feet, and the buyers walked away. It was right before Christmas and the buyers got tired of waiting. Within no time (a couple of weeks) Robert found another set of buyers who eventually bought my house. At no time did Robert ever drag his feet. To the contrary, he worked hard throughout the whole process to finally see it to completion, thereby making everyone happy. He made the process as easy as possible and I really appreciate that! It wasn't an easy thing for me to be forced to sell my house, and to short sell it and walk away without anything was difficult. However, Robert's prowess as a real estate professional helped me see it through with a smile, literally! (Additionally, he recommended a short sale attorney, Richard Citron, who, along with his paralegal, Jennifer, were amazing to work with.) I will do whatever I can to recommend Robert Zebaida and Keller Williams Livingston to any one I come across who is interested in buying or selling a home. His unique display of professionalism and friendly manner is highly admirable! I have bought and sold 3 houses in the area over the last 20 years and have met and dealt with many real estate agents. In the real estate community I have yet to come across someone as astute as him!
As a first-time home buyer, I learned a lot from Robert's consultation and education. Robert is very responsive and helpful before and after I bought my very first house. I am very impressed by Robert's professional.
Howard & Melinda Silverman06/06/2012
“Robert Zebaida listed and sold our home for us. Roberts's understanding and knowledge enabled him to guide us through this process. Throughout the experience we found Robert to be excellent in helping to manage our expectations, handling negotiations, preparing us in advance to avoid some pitfalls, and overall management of the sales process. I would recommend Robert Zebaida to anyone that is buying or selling their home. He is truly a consummate professional.
Kelly A. Frayer | Financial Services Group06/02/2012
Our experience with Rob was nothing short of exceptional. He allowed my husband and I to find a house at our own pace, in our price range, with the characteristics that we desired. He remained an essential resource throughout the house buying process by providing both an informed opinion and guidance as to bidding, inspections and attorney review expectations. We are indebted to Rob for all of his assistance and would absolutely recommend him to our friends and family.
Jodi & Michael Stacey05/08/2012
Thanks so much for a delightful experience in purchasing our new home! Michael and I were first time buyers as you know, and you made the process ever so easy going as well as comfortable for us! I will always be gracious of the time you spent with us and care you gave towards our investment! You didn't do it just for your financial gain you did it for us as a loyal friend and realtor and because you care for what you do and how you do it!!! I would most recommend you to anyone I know in the future when they are in need of purchasing a home! Then experience was fulfilling to us and we appreciate the care and concern you had toward our family!!!
Robert was tremendously helpful when I made my first purchase as a real estate investor. The property was exactly what I was looking for and he made it easy to invest. I was new to the concept of real estate investment so I had far more questions than the average investor. Robert was more supportive than I would have expected and never made me feel like my questions were stupid or redundant. He was prompt with return calls and his responses always answered my questions and those he anticipated would come next. Robert took the time to teach me rather than just try to sell to me.
He owns his own rental properties and explained to me how it works though his experience as a real estate investor, giving me the confidence that I could purchase a property and have tenants to put in it. His knowledge of the local market and his key contacts in the community helped me to close the deal on the property in a very efficient way and time. I am absolutely thrilled with the rental property that he found for me and, of course, the positive cash flow does not hurt! I am sure we will do more deals together in the future!
Scott & Patty Dellosso01/20/2012
When deciding to sell our home, Robert Zebaida, turned out to be the best choice we could have made. We started out with another realtor with no success. Robert came to us after we decided not to renew with our first realtor. This turned out to be the decision that we should have started with. Sometimes I wanted to give up. I never thought we would find a buyer. Robert never gave up. He was always reachable. Always dedicated. Always there when you needed a question answered. Finally...a buyer for our home. Extremely smooth and quick closing. When we decide to purchase another home, there will only be ONE choice for realtor....Robert Zebaida at Keller Williams in Livingston, NJ. Thank you Robert!
Robert, you are a consummate professional. When we first met I was impressed by your demeanor and understanding. Even though I did not put you on the top of my list of the realtors I had interviewed, your subsequent calls and our discussions convinced me to sign on with you. It was a great decision on my part. You put us at ease and engendered a confidence. Best of all, you took away the pressures of the sale transaction. Even when I vented at you when we discussed the inspection report, you calmly said, "but Gerry, this is a good report". Thank you so much for your knowledge and assistance. You are tops.
We cannot imagine buying a house without Robert. When we first began looking, Robert went out of his way to take care of so many of the small details in order to help us out. He made what could have been a very stressful time of our lives one of the smoothest transitions. Robert Zebaida is the real estate agent to use.
David and Melissa Cohen07/24/2010
I would like to thank you for your commitment to helping us purchase our new home in Livingston. We feel you were dedicated to our needs, and worked in a very professional manor. We are very pleased with our experience with Keller Williams, and with you, Mr. Zebaida and would be happy to recommend you to anyone else in need of purchasing a new home.

Hope you all liked my chocolate truffle recipe – please do give it a go and remember to tag me in the results – either on Instagram or Twitter using @mariablackstone (as you can see I’m super original on the name front). Don’t forget to follow me either!
I can’t believe its been two weeks since I graduated, time has flown like my degree did and I thought I’d take this opportunity to tell you about it – what I did over the weekend and show you a few pictures! No recipe this week as I thought I’d talk about the lovely food I ate instead but I will post a recipe for you next week!
Thursday 10th September:
We travelled up on the Thursday morning, I had a doctor’s appointment in the morning then got my stuff together and headed to Lincoln. We arrived around 2pm and checked into the hotel. We were lucky enough to get a beautiful view of the river and were so lucky with the weather! Bright sunshine. Laura (my sister) was quite tired from the drive so we decided to chill out for a bit before heading down the the Starbucks in the hotel, sat outside and had a bite to eat and a drink. It was so lovely to simply sit and watch the world go by. We mustered up the energy to head into town and had a wonder around the shops – why does doing nothing make you so tired?!
I bought a new dress from Fat Face, as if this wasn’t an expensive enough weekend haha! But hey, why not treat myself… right? That’s what I’ll tell myself anyway. We headed back to the hotel and a caught up with good friend Sarah, who’s off to Malta soon for a graduate job… beyond proud and wishing her all the success. We went back to the hotel, got ready and went out to dinner.
I booked a table at Carluccio’s. I had the bruschetta to start – Italian bread topped with a mound of fresh tomato, some garlic and herbs. For main I had my favourite pasta dish – a vegetarian option; which is so unlike me as I always love meat dishes. It’s the pasta dish with courgette, garlic, chilli and fried cheesy spinach balls. I certainly wouldn’t be kissing anyone tonight haha! I have the recipe somewhere in the kitchen, and want to try my hand at making my own version – so one day on here you may see the result! We finished off the meal (greedy I know) with dessert… a berry tiramisu which was creamy but nice and refreshing after a big meal. I won’t lie I was eyeing up my mum, dad and sisters salted caramel sundae though!
We finished the night at the Hilton, in the Electric Bar,, which is just next door to the Holiday Inn we were staying at. This is something I had wanted to do during university but never had the chance. Which is crazy because I spent three years there but it’s amazing how much I didn’t experience but there’s always the opportunity to go back and explore. We had some cocktails and headed back to the hotel for a relatively early night as Friday was going to be a long day! A pornstar martini was my cocktail of choice.
Friday 11th September
Got up at 6am, curled my hair – which in the end seemed like a pointless waste of time as it fell out before I had even managed to graduate but hey, you can’t blame a girl for trying. I got gowned up, had pictures taken and caught up with friends before heading into the cathedral for the ceremony. It was absolutely amazing. I hadn’t quite anticipated the length of the walk I had to do – heres me thinking I’d walk across the stage and it would be over. Little did I know I had to do a whole lap of the cathedral afterwards – struggled with this in my heels but I made the ceremony without falling over AND didn’t twist my ankles on the cobbles so I was winning all round. I felt such a sense of pride and achievement – especially at the end when we all got up and gave a round of applause. The atmosphere was amazing and I really had that ‘we did it’ moment. I don’t really remember much of the stage stuff, but that bit will stay with me forever.
We had a scone and jam after the obligatory throw your hat up in the air photo and after that I had a prize giving as I won the prize for Best Contemporary Lens Media student joint with Lucy Bick, my fellow course rep and friend. This was a nice small ceremony and it was nice to catch up with tutors after.
We ended the day with a meal at my favourite place the Horse & Groom. I had BBQ ribs – slightly regretted it as I was way too full and all I wanted to do was nap after. However, I left my parents and sister at this point and they had the journey home. I got back to the hotel and started to get ready for grad ball with my partner in crime Daisy. We met up with my housemates and had a few drinks before heading there. My feet were ruined and grad ball was a bit disappointing to be honest but I had a good time with my friends who I’ve spent the last few years of my life with and quite frankly I’m glad I didn’t spend it any other way!
Saturday, it was time to come home, after a big breakfast I chilled in my favourite cafe which I will miss dearly! How sad does that sound, but they do the best coffee, and the vibe is so chilled and lovely. It was then time to catch my train … bye bye Lincoln.
Sorry for this rambley post, hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did. Some of them are only my phone ones so please forgive me that they aren’t the best quality. It’s times like these where I think how on earth did I gain a First Class Honours in photography ha!
Next week I’ll post you a lovely recipe for you to try out. Not decided if it will be sweet or savoury yet, but it will be delicious regardless!
A girl with an appetite for all things creative,

Being arrested for DUI in Florida can be an extremely stressful and overwhelming experience. In this blog, our Miami DUI defense attorneys discuss the basic steps of the DUI process here in Florida; although there are many more steps, this should give you an idea of what to expect if you are ever arrested for DUI.
Don’t plead guilty – get the tough defense you need by calling (305) 290-1884.
This is where you DUI case begins. It’s important to try to remember as much as you can about the arrest, as it can be used to strengthen your defense later on. You’ll also want to comply with officers, and should avoid talking or trying to argue with the police.
When you are taken to jail, law enforcement will record all of your personal information, and will take your photo and fingerprints as well. They will typically conduct another chemical blood alcohol test, and will remove all of your personal items. Provided there are no other warrants, charges, or holds outstanding, you will then be taken to a holding cell.
The arraignment is essentially the formal process in which the State tells you whether or not they plan to charge you, and exactly which charges are being filed against you. This is the step where you plead “guilty” or “not guilty.” A Miami DUI lawyer can enter a “Notice of Appearance” on your behalf, which tells the court that you are denying the charges.
4. Pre-Trial Motions
This is one of the most important parts of the DUI process for your attorney, as it can help them gather evidence to strengthen your case, and to weaken the prosecution’s. Your attorney can work to suppress illegally obtained evidence, exclude certain witnesses, and can even file a motion to dismiss the charges.
5. Plea Bargains
Plea bargains are common for Florida DUI, but they are not all created equally. Your attorney can work to negotiate a great plea deal on your behalf, but may also advise you to fight the charges depending on your unique circumstances. It’s important to hire a Miami DUI attorney who is focused on your best interests.
If you have decided to fight the charges against you, the case will go to trial. There are many steps to the trial process depending on what county you are in, but it essentially involves the prosecution mounting a case against you, and your attorney working to prove your innocence.
If you are found guilty in trial, or if you accept a plea bargain, you will then be sentenced by the court. The penalties you will face depend on the exact offense you were found guilty of, and can vary from case to case. For example, a first DUI offense carries a minimum license suspension of 6 months, but a judge may order this suspension to be as long as 12 months.
Arrested for DUI in Miami? Our firm knows what it takes to win – call (305) 290-1884 today.

Did you know that the Windows operating system comes equipped with built-in antivirus features? That’s right, you don’t need to go searching for a third-party antivirus program to keep your computer safe and secure. With Windows Defender, Microsoft has provided a reliable antivirus solution that is always working in the background, protecting your system from potential threats. In this article, we will explore the built-in antivirus features of the Windows operating system and discuss how they can help safeguard your digital world. So, sit back and let’s take a closer look at the impressive security measures that Windows has to offer. Yes, there are built-in antivirus features in the Windows operating system. These features are designed to provide real-time protection against various types of malware, including viruses, spyware, and ransomware. In this article, we will explore the different built-in antivirus features available in Windows, how they work, and their effectiveness in keeping your computer secure.
Windows Defender is the default antivirus software included in Windows operating systems. It provides comprehensive protection against a wide range of threats, while also offering a user-friendly interface for easy management of your computer’s security.
Windows Defender offers a variety of security features to safeguard your system. It includes real-time protection, scan options, automatic updates, threat history, browser protection, firewall and network protection, app and browser control, device security, as well as performance and health monitoring.
Real-time protection is one of the key features of Windows Defender. It continually monitors your system in the background, scanning files and programs as they are accessed or executed. This helps to detect and block any potential threats before they can cause harm to your computer.
Windows Defender provides various scan options to cater to different needs. You can choose between quick scans, full scans, or custom scans. Quick scans focus on the most vulnerable areas of your system, while full scans check all files and programs. Custom scans allow you to specify specific files, folders, or drives to scan.
Keeping your antivirus software up to date is crucial for maintaining effective protection. Windows Defender automatically updates its virus definitions and engine, ensuring that you have the latest defense against emerging threats. These updates are rolled out regularly by Microsoft to address new security vulnerabilities.
Windows Defender keeps track of any threats that have been detected on your system. You can review the threat history to see details about blocked threats and take necessary actions. This helps you stay informed about the security status of your computer.
Windows Defender integrates with your web browsers to provide protection against malicious websites and downloads. It provides real-time protection while you browse the internet, blocking known malicious sites and preventing you from downloading potentially harmful files.
Firewall and Network Protection
In addition to antivirus capabilities, Windows Defender also includes a built-in firewall and network protection. The firewall monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic, allowing you to set rules and permissions for different applications and services. This helps to prevent unauthorized access to your system and ensures the security of your network connection.
App and Browser Control
Windows Defender’s app and browser control feature provides an additional layer of protection against potentially malicious applications and scripts. It helps to detect and block any suspicious activities, such as unauthorized changes to your browser settings or attempts to execute potentially harmful scripts.
Windows Defender includes device security features to protect your computer’s hardware and firmware. It helps to mitigate the risks of firmware attacks, defends against unauthorized access to the device, and safeguards the integrity of system boot components.
Performance and Health
Windows Defender not only focuses on security but also helps to optimize the performance and health of your system. It provides insights and recommendations to improve system performance, troubleshoot potential issues, and ensure your computer is running smoothly.
Windows Security Center
Windows Security Center is a central hub that integrates various security features in Windows, including Windows Defender. It provides a unified dashboard to monitor and manage your computer’s security.
Integration with Windows Defender
Windows Security Center integrates seamlessly with Windows Defender, allowing you to access and manage all antivirus features in one place. It provides a comprehensive overview of your system’s security status, including virus protection, firewall settings, and other security-related configurations.
Additional Security Features
In addition to Windows Defender, Windows Security Center also consolidates other security features available in Windows, such as Windows Firewall, User Account Control (UAC), SmartScreen Filter, Windows Update, and more. This ensures that you have a holistic approach to securing your computer.
Third-Party Antivirus Compatibility
Windows Security Center is designed to work well with third-party antivirus software, providing a convenient interface to manage multiple security products. If you choose to use a third-party antivirus solution, Windows Security Center can still help you monitor their status and ensure they are functioning properly.
Monitoring and Management
Windows Security Center offers comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities. It provides real-time alerts and notifications about potential security threats, monitors the health of your antivirus software, and offers recommendations to enhance your system’s security posture.
Action Center Integration
Windows Security Center integrates with the Action Center, which is a central location for managing various system notifications. This integration ensures that important security alerts and prompts are prominently displayed, allowing you to take immediate action to address any security concerns.
Windows Firewall is a built-in security feature in Windows that helps protect your computer from unauthorized access and network threats.
Windows Firewall acts as a barrier between your computer and the internet, monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing network traffic. It helps prevent unauthorized access to your computer by blocking potentially malicious connections and limiting network exposure.
Configuring Firewall Settings
Windows Firewall provides a user-friendly interface to configure its settings according to your preferences. You can set different profiles (public, private, or domain), allowing you to customize firewall rules based on your network environment. This helps to ensure that your computer remains protected, regardless of the network you are connected to.
Inbound and Outbound Rules
Windows Firewall allows you to define inbound and outbound rules to control network traffic. Inbound rules determine what incoming connections are allowed or blocked, while outbound rules control what outgoing connections are permitted or restricted. This fine-grained control gives you the flexibility to specify the behavior of different applications and services.
Advanced Firewall Options
Windows Firewall also offers advanced options for more experienced users. These options include secure connection filtering, logging, and notification settings. They allow you to fine-tune the firewall’s behavior to match your specific security requirements.
User Account Control (UAC)
User Account Control (UAC) is a Windows security feature that helps prevent unauthorized changes to your computer’s settings and files.
Purpose and Function
The purpose of UAC is to safeguard against potentially harmful activities that could compromise your system’s security. It works by notifying you when a program or process attempts to make changes that require administrative privileges. UAC prompts you to confirm or deny these actions, giving you control over what gets executed on your computer.
UAC settings can be configured to suit your preferences. You can choose between different notification levels, ranging from always notify to never notify. The appropriate level depends on your comfort level with allowing applications to make changes to your system.
UAC Prompts and Actions
When an application or process triggers a UAC prompt, you will see a dialog box asking for your permission to proceed. You can review the name and publisher of the application, as well as the actions it intends to perform. You have the option to allow or deny the action based on your trust in the application.
Effectiveness Against Malware
UAC provides an effective layer of defense against malware, as it requires administrative privileges to make changes to your system. By prompting you to confirm or deny these actions, UAC helps prevent malicious programs from silently executing and compromising your computer’s security.
SmartScreen Filter is a Windows security feature that helps protect against malicious websites, downloads, and applications.
SmartScreen Filter uses reputation-based analysis and real-time behavior monitoring to determine the safety of websites, downloads, and applications. It works in conjunction with other security features to provide comprehensive protection against evolving online threats.
SmartScreen Filter checks the reputation of websites you visit, comparing them against a constantly updated database of known malicious sites. If a website is flagged as potentially unsafe, SmartScreen Filter will display a warning, allowing you to make an informed decision on whether to proceed or navigate away.
SmartScreen Filter also examines the reputation of downloads and applications. For files that are not widely recognized or have a low reputation, it may display a warning before allowing you to install or run them. This helps to prevent potentially harmful programs from running on your system.
Windows Store Protection
SmartScreen Filter is integrated with the Windows Store, ensuring that downloaded applications from the store are safe to install. It performs reputation checks on applications before they are listed in the store, providing an additional layer of security for Windows Store users.
Configuring SmartScreen Settings
You can configure SmartScreen Filter settings according to your preferences. You have the option to turn it on or off completely, or choose to receive warnings only for potentially malicious downloads or unrecognized applications. This flexibility allows you to customize the level of protection based on your needs.
Windows Update is an essential feature of Windows that ensures your operating system is up to date with the latest security patches and bug fixes.
Windows Update can be configured to automatically download and install updates, ensuring that your system is constantly protected against emerging threats. Automatic updates are recommended for most users, as they provide a convenient way to stay up to date without manual intervention.
Critical Security Updates
Windows Update prioritizes critical security updates, which are designed to address known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. These updates are necessary for maintaining a secure system and should be installed promptly.
Windows Update Settings
You can customize Windows Update settings to suit your preferences. Options include setting active hours to prevent automatic restarts during specific times, pausing updates temporarily, or selecting the option to ask for your confirmation before downloading or installing updates.
Windows Update Troubleshooting
In some cases, Windows Update might encounter issues that prevent it from installing updates. Windows provides troubleshooting tools and guides to help diagnose and resolve these issues. Repairing Windows Update can help ensure that your system remains up to date and secure.
Windows AppLocker is a security feature that allows administrators to control which applications and scripts are allowed to run on a Windows system.
Application Control Policies
AppLocker enables administrators to define policies that determine which applications can be executed on a computer. By specifying which applications are allowed or blocked, AppLocker helps prevent the execution of potentially malicious or unauthorized software.
AppLocker uses executable rules to control the execution of applications based on criteria such as file path, publisher, or file hash. These rules can be created and enforced at the organization’s level, giving administrators granular control over application management.
Similar to executable rules, AppLocker also supports script rules to restrict the execution of scripts. Administrators can define policies based on script paths or publisher certificates, ensuring that only trusted scripts are allowed to run.
Packaged App Rules
AppLocker supports policies for managing Windows Store apps, known as packaged app rules. Administrators can specify which Windows Store apps can be installed or run on a computer, allowing for more control over the software ecosystem within an organization.
Audit and Enforcement Options
AppLocker provides auditing capabilities to track the execution of applications and scripts. Additionally, administrators can choose to enforce AppLocker policies strictly or in an audit-only mode, which allows monitoring of policy violations without blocking the execution of unauthorized software.
Windows Credential Guard
Windows Credential Guard is a security feature that protects against credential theft, a common technique used by attackers to compromise systems.
Credential theft involves extracting credentials, such as usernames and passwords, from a compromised system and using them to gain unauthorized access to resources. Windows Credential Guard protects the credentials stored on a computer by isolating them and preventing unauthorized access.
Hardware and Software Requirements
To utilize Windows Credential Guard, specific hardware and software requirements must be met. These requirements include a compatible processor with virtualization extensions, as well as a version of Windows Enterprise or Education edition.
Protection Against Credential Theft
Windows Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to isolate and protect credentials from unauthorized access. By running in a secure environment separate from the operating system, it makes it much more challenging for attackers to extract and use stored credentials.
Windows Sandbox is a new security feature introduced in Windows 10 that provides a lightweight and isolated environment to run potentially suspicious or untrusted applications.
Introduction and Purpose
Windows Sandbox allows you to spin up a virtualized instance of Windows, also known as a sandbox, to test and run applications without impacting your host operating system. It is an ideal tool for safely exploring potentially harmful software without risking your computer’s security.
Creating a Sandbox
Creating a sandbox is straightforward. Simply open the Windows Sandbox application from the Start menu, and a new sandboxed instance of Windows will be launched. Once you’re done with the sandbox, simply close the application, and all changes made within the sandbox will be discarded.
Using the Sandbox
Inside the sandbox, you can install and run applications just like you would on a regular Windows installation. However, any changes or modifications made within the sandbox will not be persistent, providing a secure and isolated environment for testing software.
Security and Isolation
Windows Sandbox utilizes several security measures to ensure a safe and isolated environment. Each sandbox is completely isolated from the host operating system, preventing any potential malware or malicious software from affecting the underlying system. Furthermore, Windows Sandbox utilizes snapshot technology, allowing for efficient creation and disposal of sandbox instances.
Windows provides a range of built-in antivirus features that help protect your computer from malicious threats. Windows Defender, Windows Security Center, Windows Firewall, User Account Control (UAC), SmartScreen Filter, Windows Update, and other security features work together to ensure a high level of security for your system.
Effectiveness of Built-in Antivirus Features
The built-in antivirus features in Windows have proven to be effective in providing protection against a wide variety of threats. Windows Defender, with its real-time scanning, frequent updates, and comprehensive security options, helps safeguard your computer from malware.
Supplementing with Third-Party Antivirus
While the built-in antivirus features in Windows are robust, some users may opt to supplement their security measures with third-party antivirus software. Third-party antivirus solutions offer additional features, customization options, and specialized protection against specific threats.
Continuously Updating Security Measures
Regardless of whether you rely solely on built-in antivirus features or choose to use third-party software, it is essential to continuously update and maintain your computer’s security measures. Keeping your antivirus software up to date, regularly applying Windows updates, and practicing safe browsing habits will help ensure a secure computing experience.

Farmington city and Downtown Development Authority (DDA) officials this week finalized a two-year agreement for the management of two city-owned houses on Grand River and Thomas Street.
Council members in August of 2017 purchased the back-to-back homes for a future “pass through” from the former Maxfield Training Center (MTC), also on Thomas Street. A developer plans to turn that property into a multi-story apartment complex.
The management agreement notes:
“… the City purchased the Properties in an area where a pass-through from Grand River Avenue to Thomas Street is contemplated sometime in the future; however, the City currently has no plans to demolish the structures or to construct such a pass-through.”
Both properties are currently rented; 33107 Thomas Street has a residential tenant, 33104 Grand River has a main floor business tenant with a residential apartment on the second floor.
The DDA will keep rental fees from both properties in exchange for managing and maintaining them, and will pay the city a $4,500 annual fee. The agreement is renewable annually after the initial two-year term and may be dissolved by either party with at least four months’ notice.
City manager David Murphy told council members on Monday that the DDA will hire a management firm to handle the properties. He said funds would likely go into the organization’s general operating fund, and he “would ask them to participate more in some of the infrastructure projects we have going on downtown.”
“The first year, they won’t make much money,” Murphy said. “The second year, it’ll be a revenue source for them.”
Council member Bill Galvin said he’d like rental proceeds kept out of the DDA’s general operating fund.
” I would rather see the DDA take these revenues and put them into a separate fund, rather than general fund,” he said. “It’s an allocation strategy is all it is.”

A tasty and healthy snack, but not the best source of energy for performance-orientated cyclists. And not cheap either.
Mild-tasting and highly-effective source of carbohydrate and protein - perfect for sustenance on long rides
Tasty, convenient and effective source of energy, combining carbohydrates and proteins, ideal for outings such as long challenge rides and sportives.
Good mix of fast-acting and slow-release energy, served up in an unusual format. Worth a try if you don't get on with some other energy products
Great-tasting high-performing bite-sized energy bars
A welcome change to oat bars or gels on a long ride, but I’d get pretty sick of them if they were all I had
A tasty way to take on board energy during a ride, but not especially convenient if you want to eat on the go
Very tasty recovery product, at a fair-value price - well worth a try
Very tasty, easy to eat, good value and highly effective energy bar
Great tasting energy food from a well-known brand, perfect for touring and steady rides
Very tasty and healthy source of protein - ideal for post-ride recovery, and good for snacks too

Help on mounting blinds to studs by SpaceTime5 in Home
[–]Background-Ad-343 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Then there's definitely not any cripples in the header and that's why you can't find a stud, code changed in the mid nineties and cripples were outlawed for the top of headers. If you're mounting the hangers on the face of the header,then it's solid across the span so you just have to measure and mark then install them.If it's undermounted then you have entire span of the upper sill plate and it's solid across the span as well
Condo - foundation leak (details in comment) by lickyoureye in Home
[–]ministerofinteriors 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago4 (0 children)
This needs to be fixed from the outside, not the inside. Any inside fix is a bandaid at best, a total scam at worst. These fixes persist because they offer a cheap alternative to an expensive problem and people will pay for them usually out of misplaced hope that it will resolve a costly issue.
This may be solved with improved grading and rainwater management outside. If you have busted or poorly placed downspouts or improper grading, and it hasn't been that way for many years already, fixing this may solve the issue.
If that's not the case the process ought to resemble something like this:
foundation in that area and any other area that's getting damp has to be dug down to the footing.
Any old or damaged drain tile needs to be removed (and any remaining drain tile should be inspected by camera to find any clogs or damage) and replaced.
Foundation wall and footing need to be inspected for mortar damage, repaired and then sealed with a paint on waterproof product
Foundation wall needs to be covered in a plastic waterproof membrane
new drain tile needs to be covered in 6+ inches of 1/2" clear stone (just a term for washed crushed stone).
backfill with loam soil (which may be what's removed potentially, but not necessarily). The top 6 inches can be whatever you like. Often clay is used. It's terrible for foundations, but as a top dressing it's quite good because water will run off of it nicely.
insure that grading and drainage move water away from the building.
It may be the case that the entire foundation perimeter needs to be excavated and waterproofed. Not for sure, but often times when you have full blown water infiltration on an old property, it's worthwhile to do the entire structure because it's like $10-15k to to a small portion and $25-30k to do the entire thing and not have to worry about it for another 50-100 years assuming you don't ignore bad drainage for years on end. It's not a sexy investment though, so the ROI if you're selling isn't great unfortunately. It should be valuable to have a newly waterproofed basement, but it isn't.
Fortunately since you're in a condo, this is likely not your problem personally, but a cost incurred by the condo management which should have funds set aside for these kinds of repairs. But this is definitely something that will require excavation and real work, not some glorified caulk injections or sealing from the inside. That pretty much never works.
I'm installing my first light fixture and I have a slight idea of what I'm doing but still pretty clueless. Can anyone tell me how to switch these fixtures? All of the wires in the ceiling are confusing me. by Aggravated04 in Home
[–]Bsjensen1012 21 points22 points23 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Black is hot, White is neutral/return, and Green is ground. Find the breaker that controls that light fixture and kill power. Use a voltage sniffer or multimeter to verify that the power has been cut. Untwist the wire nuts for the black wire and white wire in your first picture. Find your ground wire wherever it is attached and detach it. Remove the old fixture and bring your new one into place. Twist the black wire from the new light together with the incoming wires and replace the wire nut. Do the same with the white wire. And reattach the ground to wherever the old one was. Tuck your wires and fasten your new light into place.

Can I rip this cabinet out or could it be structural in some weird way? by OrangesMarmalade in Home

You don’t have to ho it up, just go check out the attic!
HELP! Just bought our first home and we have hundreds of tiny black gnats in our bathroom. Just pulled down dry wall and found some termite damage and rotting wood. Could this be the issue and how do we fix? Pics below. Thank you for your advice! by [deleted] in Home
[–]WeHaveYour6 115 points116 points117 points 3 months ago2 (0 children)
I don’t see any termite damage. I see wood rot which may be from the water. Gnats are attracted to that smell. Try cleaning the area up and let it dry out. Maybe spray the area with a little soap and water(it’ll suffocate bugs) and see if that helps. Just remember everything is going to be alright and if it was built it can be fixed.
How do I light the pilot light? Old Victorian home. Old heater. by GogoYubari92 in Home
[–]Jojomatic5000 80 points81 points82 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Those things are notorious for producing carbon monoxide. If your house is drafty you might be ok, but if it's had updates, you might be in trouble. Either way, I would buy a newer style vent free gas heater. You should definitely buy a carbon monoxide detector if you don't already have one and read up on the symptoms of CO poisoning. I used to work for a gas company and have responded to deaths and multiple houses that were caused by CO.

Im sorry but as a licensed HVAC/R professional i cant believe this is top comment. This sub is not always the best place to look for correct information OP.
I agree that you should be checking your humidifier and ensuring it is clean and filter media is in good condition. Thats about it.
OP and anyone else interested should google "psychrometrics" and look at a psychrometrics chart. The comfort zone is the key here on the chart.
Most humans feel comfortable when the temperature is between 22 - 27 C and between 40% - 60% Relative Humidity (not absolute humidity).
It is possible that you could turn it off in the summer and that your air conditioner will not be enough to run the RH down too dry however if the humidistat is working correctly you should set it to 40% RH for the summer. This way if your air conditioning system runs the RH down too low it can help not make it too dry for you and if it never reaches below 40% it will never let the humidifier work anyway.
Some people may be okay with 30% RH but for me personally i get nosebleeds if the air is that dry.
In the winter you should set the RH to 60% as the higher humidity setting will help you feel warmer at a lower temperature so you dont need to set your thermostat as high to feel comfortable and can save some money there.
The science behind it is that our bodies use evaporative cooling to cool ourselves down by the perspiration or sweat on our skin evaporating into the air around us. So at lower relative humidity it is easier for your body to cool down hence the lower RH setting in summer. In higher humidities your body cant cool down at easily hence the higher setting in winter.
Let me know if you have further questions OP or anyone.
TL;DR set to 40% RH in summer and 60% RH in winter and make sure its clean and has a filter in good condition.

Just bought a house: our bathroom light fixture is sealed with the force of many gods, and what I think is this hinge. Any idea on how to open it? by FireyToots in Home
[–]just_surfing 125 points126 points127 points 7 months ago (0 children)
It’s a V shaped spring up in the ceiling. You pull straight down through the tension of the V pushing against you. To put it back in you squeeze the V flat and push it up
[–]FireyToots[S] 134 points135 points136 points 7 months ago (0 children)
You were absolutely right. I know this doesn’t matter much, but some idiot new homeowner really thanks you for this. You are a good man / woman / person and I hope good things happen to you. I was close to tears, and it just came out. Thank you.

How is our health?
I can't start a post about the family's health without giving an update on DJ's back. We are three weeks post-surgery and he is doing fine. At his post-op checkup the doctor said that DJ's curve straightened out better than he expected. We were given an x-ray from moments after DJ was sewn up but the x-ray above is from his checkup two weeks later and he looks even better. I guess those rods and screws take time to settle. It was tough at first getting DJ to move around and do his stretches, but last week he was dancing me around the kitchen. I'm confident that he will be ready to go swimming when we take our vacation in September.
For the rest of the family, our health focus has been on fitness. C1 is my Skinny Minnie with very little upper body strength, so she has taken it upon herself to work on that with planks and push ups. C2 doesn't exercise often but she has inherited her father's natural strength and stamina, so she will jump in whenever the rest of us are working out and push us a few steps further. M is trying to get in better shape for all those hills she has to climb when she is at uni. C2 and M have taken to tag-teaming me to make me get off my butt and move. If I was planning to walk for 10 minutes, they will push me to do 20 minutes. Our current routine of choice is to walk in place Leslie Sansone-style while watching TV.
My ankles and feet still hurt weeks after they have supposedly healed, so I am dieting again. I know I said I was never going to start another diet, but the pain from a simple action like walking down the stairs has made me a tad desperate. I keep thinking that if I could get rid of some of the weight bearing down on my legs the pain might go away. I am combining Slim-Fast and the Change One program to try to lose a few pounds. I read the Change One book almost 10 years ago when it was first published by Reader's Digest. Basically, it is a 12-week program in which you incorporate one change to your lifestyle each week. I wasn't ready for it when I first read it, but I think I am ready now. With ABM trying to get back on track with his weight loss and the kids being concerned about my health, everyone in the house seems to be ready for healthy food and exercise. I don't lose weight quickly, anyway, so the slow approach will probably be less frustrating for me.
