You’re currently based in Austin, but moved here from Athens, Ohio. What was the music scene like there? Did it help shape who you are as a songwriter and a musician?
Lots of music comes out of Athens, Ohio and the scene there is close-knit and versatile. On Monday nights, you’ll see the bass player of Rattletrap Stringband play at Casa Nueva and then a couple days later, you’ll see the same person performing at a rock show at the Union in a different band. It isn’t uncommon for a multitude of cross-over musicians to all interact and be friends within the scene, even though they are doing seemingly disparate things musically. Like most places, there are scene politics at play but because Athens is so pedestrian-friendly and is a city that prioritizes the arts, the atmosphere is overwhelmingly supportive, encouraging, and non-competitive. Living there for about seven years, I found it to be the best place I could possibly be to nurture my curiosities and development as a songwriter and a musician.
You’ve been playing lots of shows in Austin recently, your most recent being a sold-out show opening for Dana Falconberry at the Cactus Cafe on the University of Texas. Have you found a music scene in Austin that you feel a part of?
One of the things that I have found surprising about being an artist in Austin is that I will often meet incredibly talented, driven, and creative people who also are willing to help you out toward achieving your own creative ideas or goals. Obviously, Austin is a much more competitive place than somewhere like Athens, Ohio, but it’s nice to be surrounded by so much sweetness, too. I’m slowly starting to feel like I am part of a scene here but it’s taking some time. Opening for Dana Falconberry’s band at the Cactus has been one of the high-points of my time in Austin as a musician, for sure.
What are some of your favorite Austin acts?
When my wife and I moved here a couple years ago, we would go to house shows as a way to meet musicians in Austin and hear them share their songs. One of those people we first met when we moved here was Aisha Burns. It’s hard for my wife and I to miss any of her shows when she is playing because she is that good. I also feel similarly about a band called Cross Record, whom I have recently discovered and enjoyed a great deal. In general, I feel lucky in that most of the musicians I admire in Austin also happen to be friends — Boone Graham, Real Live Tigers, Dana Falconberry, Molybden, Jesse Wooten, David Israel, Julia Lucille, The Loblolly Boy, Monk Parker, Saint Clair, Lord Buffalo, Salesman, and RF Shannon to name a few. Each one of these people or bands have been very kind and supportive to me at some point or another and I am grateful for that.
One of your songs, “Where I’m Calling From,” takes its name from a Raymond Carver short story. How much of an influence does literature have on your songwriting? Who are some of your favorite fiction writers?
More than anything, literature can help me with expressing tone in my songs. I try not to re-contextualize a specific part of the story to a song that I am writing but it is easy for me to remember how I feel when I read specific stories and then translate that emotion into song and how it (may) relate to my life experience. That’s how it was with Carver’s story and some of my favorite fiction writers at the moment are Richard Fariña, Barry Hannah, David Foster Wallace, and Edward Abbey.
Misra Records, a label based out of Ohio, is releasing an album of yours from 2006 called Nostra Nova on vinyl for the first time on April 7. How would you describe the album to someone who hasn’t heard your music before?
When I put Nostra Nova out on a very small scale in 2006, a reviewer had written that the songs on the album were crafted in an equivalent way to how Frank Gehry designs and builds his architecture. My music is largely melody-driven but tries to explore alternative textures, themes, sub-themes and motifs that are under-explored in folk and popular music. This album was heavily influenced by the writing and thoughts of psychologist C.G. Jung, the art of Adolf Wolfli, and mindfulness exercises.
Do you have plans to release some newer music later this year?
Yes, I cannot commit to a specific date at this time but I am currently in the beginning stages of recording music for my next “studio”-quality album.
You have a couple tours in the works for this spring. Do you use playing live as an opportunity to try out new songs? Do your songs change the more you play them live?
Yes, I’ve been fortunate to find arrangements to play live shows more frequently and I am grateful for that. I usually try to play at least one new song that I am working on whenever I play a show and I find that my songs tend to morph a great deal after playing them live over time. It is not good to keep songs static as if they were in a jar. You have to let them breathe.

One of the most active tech cities in the Balkans is Novi Sad. And there is a place in Novi Sad where founders or companies can work, grow and learn and where you’ll probably find business partners, friends and competitors. This place is Business Incubator Novi Sad.
Business Incubator Novi Sad helps young IT entrepreneurs to accelerate the development of their product, or services, and to introduce them successfully on the market. Young companies can find administrative, legal and financial assistance, as well as the consulting and mentoring services here. Since there is no success without networking and market knowledge, the Incubator is actively working on connecting and introducing tenants to potential partners and experts from the University of Novi Sad.
Business Incubator Novi Sad was founded back in 2011. For five years, since it’s around, over 30 companies from Novi Sad “lived” and still live here. Companies who are working here are developing products in different IT areas, such as AR, IoT, SaaS, AI, machine learning, big data and others, and we will make sure to introduce them to you in the upcoming weeks.
In a desire to promote entrepreneurship and to make the local startup ecosystem stronger, Business Incubator Novi Sad is organizing and supporting numerous projects. One of the most important projects for the local community is Startup Weekend, an event that recognizes and rewards entrepreneurship. BINS is also supporting events that make the local IT community stronger such as DaFED, Geekstone, AWS User Group Serbia and many other meetups that are taking place in Novi Sad.
Business Incubator is not just 800m2 space of awkward silence and continued work. Words of Nikola Obradovic, a serial entrepreneur from Novi Sad are the best proof of this statement:
I’d recommend anyone to come to the Incubator and stay here for a while. Management of the Incubator is excellent, and everyone is always trying to help. Everyone here is helpful, supportive, willing to collaborate and make a business deal with you. And the most important thing – everyone is ready to play an occasional game of foosball. To sum it up – the Incubator is quite a fun place to work and to be there.”

Hollywood star claims Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith are actually gay
Famous transgender actress Alexis Arquette has made headlines with sensational claims Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are gay - and they are using each other as beards.
Whoa. So this is a pretty sweeping claim.
Alexis Arquette, who you may recognise from The Wedding Singer, has made claims that Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, are gay, and that Smith paid off his first wife after she walked in on him with another man.
Will was married to Sheree Zampino until they split in 1995 - they had one child together - Trey.
“When Jada comes out as gay and her beard husband admits his first marriage ended when she walked in to him … servicing his Sugar Daddy Benny Medina … then I will listen to them,” Arquette wrote on Facebook the other day - the post has since been deleted.
“‘She’ being his FIRST Wife. Paid off, silent.”
In 1997, Will and Jada got married.
“Will threw a fit on the set of [Six Degrees of Separation] when he was required by the scene to kiss Anthony Rapp,” Arquette wrote.
“He persuaded the director to shoot the back of his head in frame. Blocking the non existent lip lock entirely. … him. Gays have enemies. They lurk in gilded closets. Outing is healthy. You are either with or against us. You decide. Today.”
The Smiths are getting a grilling from all angles this week, after Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actress Janet Hubert slammed them for kicking up a stink about an lack of racial diversity amongst the Oscar nominees.
“There’s lots of s**t going on in the world that you all don’t seem to recognise,” Hubert said. “People are dying. Our boys are being shot left and right. People are starving. People are trying to pay bills. And you’re talking about some … actors and Oscars. It’s just ain’t that deep.”
It’s been a quiet year for Jada and Will - is it a case of any publicity is good publicity for the couple right now?

Brian Head Weekend
I think I have officially run the course at Brian Head. I hate to say it, but we spent three days this weekend and I only skied one, despite pretty good snow. Problem is severalfold:
- Lack of diverse terrain
- Lack of advanced terrain
- Lack of trees leading to all of the above
- Slow lifts
- Four years of skiing the same stuff just doesn't get it anymore
I am always waiting for the perfect powder day and thus far this season, we have not gotten it. It is either so windblown that the snow is in Colorado by the time we can ski, it is so windy they close the lifts, or the storm that was supposed to be coming never materializes. I hate to complain, but I think it is time to sell the condo (though with the market the way it is, I might have to short sell it) and move on to whiter pastures on the other side of the fence.
The skiing was great if you are not a spoiled semi-local homeowner. =) We skied Devo's Pitch for the first real time since it is either closed or hard to get to most of the time and it was awesome. If there were more areas like that and they were longer and larger, I might never get bored. Of course we skied some Pow on Dunes and did a run down Roulette and a one down Engens.
Actually, we didn't even clean the place and didn't do any real work. We just sat and chilled and enjoyed the place and the long weekend. It was surprisingly slow for a holiday weekend, but that may be because the the renters were a church group and not a bunch of drunken punks.
Oh, and we got the new puppy neutered while we were gone. I will post pics of the dog when I get some new ones. Little Weimer pup that is high strung and head strong.

Review - Swany Gloves
I have been wearing a new pair of Swany X-Change Gloves for the first half of the season. In the past I have tried the local El-Cheapo gloves off of clearance racks, and several different gloves by Burton, etc. I am loving the Swany Gloves.
You cannot add too many new features that someone else doesn't have already, but the Swany has all the major ones. Glove Warmer pockets are of course included. Quick draw release strings to get them on and off. Glove holders.
What you can add is quality. Normally, I wear a pair of gloves out per year and these do not show any signs of wear at all. They are reinforced at all the key places and well stitched. And they are crazy warm. No more frozen finger tips. I have worn them in 0 degree temps and they have still been warm, even warmer with a glove warmer in the pocket.
All in all, the best gloves I have ever used. They are a tad more expensive than you can pay for el-cheapo or even some of the low end gloves by Burton, etc., but well worth the extra $$$.

Turnout less than half of last mayoral preliminary
Each election is different, but it’s worth noting that turnout was way down this year when compared to last mayoral campaign.
With an open field of five residents looking to supplant Mayor David Cohen in 2009, 28.6 percent of voters took to the polls in a race that saw then-candidates Setti Warren and Ruth Balser move on to the November election.
This year, with an incumbent on the ballot, only 11.1 of voters turned out, according to unofficial results.
Despite the low turnout, Warren wasn’t all that far off from his ’09 total in the preliminary. He garnered 4,265 votes last night, compared to 4,846 four years ago.

Cosmetic Packaging usually refers to two kinds of packing; primary and secondary. Initial preparation includes the containers, bottles, everything that houses the cosmetic product. Secondary waste is the outer packing that houses the original box. An Important difference between the two is fundamental preparation elaborates any information that is important to clarify the safety of the goods. In contrast, secondary packaging emphasizes much on the distributer’s address and the information on the product’s mode of action.
Cosmetic boxes enable buyers to have a detailed look at the product. The eye makeup boxes, nail product boxes and dermatological products’ packages are the most commonly used categories of custom cosmetic packaging. Every cosmetic brand invests a considerable amount of time and energy on branding and packages designing of their items because we know it’s worth how much influential can the designing and package can be for your goods. Here in this article, we are going to discuss why customized cosmetic packaging is a powerful tool for your brand’s identity.
It is quite understandable that packages attract consumer’s attention to a particular brand, enriches its image, and sways consumer’s perception about the brand. Considering the aspect, the manufacturers have started to appreciate the importance of packaging and its role in stimulating their sales.
We have seen that all the leading cosmetics brands have marketed their name up to the levels they are at now, and that marvellous packing has played a significant role in their brand’s identity. Adding innovation to your brand’s preparation can earn you a positive image provided you have studied thoroughly about the target market because 50% of the sales decisions are made at the point of purchase.
How Customized Packaging increases Brand Image:
To ensure complete protection:
A safe and protected package provides the safety and security of any product. Many people fail to give careful thought when it comes to packing goods, and this could lead to the merchandise getting damaged throughout.
There is always the risk of items getting damaged while being shipped or even in rare cases, the vehicle could be involved in a road accident. To reduce this possibility, you need to consider these risk factors while packing. This helps to minimize possible hazards. Getting your Makeup boxes and cosmetic goods packed ensures excellent quality and that it is secure.
Attractive packaging is meant to increase the sales of makeup merchandise because it is a way of gaining the trust of consumers regarding the dependability of the product. If a package is attractive enough as compared to the other brands on the shelf, customers are likely to prefer that brand over the others.
The choice of colour of the packing is also essential to create a lasting impression in the minds of the shoppers.
Price becomes secondary if the customer is confident of the makeup products.
Builds an Identity:
A good packing in an attractive design with the right placement of the logo and a good description of the item helps in creating a lasting identity of the brand in the minds of people. It is usually this high-quality packing that causes a potential consumer to buy the product. It helps in gaining a competitive advantage for any merchandise.
Most of the times, the failure of the product is the result of an unappealing or defective packaging because a good percent of the consumers tend to judge the merchandise by its package.
It’s not because they are stupid enough not to consider the quality and benefits of the good. Still, many of them don’t have the time to research before buying it, so they decide on merchandise that comes with an excellent quality package with enough description of the good on it. This helps them get to a decision quickly.
Ideal for newly launched brands:
Don’t be afraid of trying different things that are new to the market, as long as there is a good plan behind, and they can do something for your brand. If you are new in the market, then you can make use of custom cosmetic packaging for brand awareness. You can print your desired company message on your boxes to communicate with your customers and tell the attributes of your merchandise to your customers. Also, you can show any information about your brand through these boxes.
By availing custom printed boxes for your various cosmetic items, you can give a customized touch to every product. You can make use of different designs that are according to the needs of that very product.
In this way, you can easily give a personal touch to your merchandise through customizations.
Although there are many cosmetic brands out there, you can still stand out by choosing the right packing.
Many companies keep their focus on the quality of goods but sometimes ignore the part of Cosmetic display packaging which is very crucial for an ideal market display. You can not only improve the appearance of your cosmetics by redesigning your package but also win new customers. People only go for items that are different and appealing. That is why customized boxes are essential. We now know that market targeting; brand positioning and brand adoption cannot be effectively achieved if such brands are not adequately packaged.
Packages play a vital role in promotion and product positioning. Thus, suitable strategies need to be formulated and implemented when designing packages for your products. Such a plan must incorporate all the elements of packing, which include colour, size, and shape. Marketing research that focuses on the package sizes and shapes desired by consumers can be conducted to enable firms to know the right packaging variables to utilize during the design of packets.

When a doomsday device is up for grabs in Hong Kong, the city becomes a potential Ground Zero in “Helios,” a spy action-thriller that reps a savvy model of Hong Kong-Chinese co-production. The writing-directing duo of Longman Leung and Sunny Luk impressively up their game from their major 2012 hit, “Cold War,” orchestrating a stellar pan-Asian cast and making prudent use of an $18 million budget to field a war of arms and ideologies with a teasing cliffhanger ending. Like a Boeing 747 on autopilot, the production is superbly tooled on a technical level yet remains somewhat mechanical and bloodless in its plotting and characterization. Primed for explosive B.O. in China and Hong Kong, this blockbuster could sell like uranium in Asian genre ancillary.
According to the filmmakers, the Chinese title, which translates as “Equator,” suggests that their characters have to take a lot of heat, while a sense of impending doom is also conveyed by the English title, “Helios” — named after the Greek sun god whose son Panoptes couldn’t control his father’s chariot and set Earth on fire. In light of Hong Kong’s recent political upheavals, the concept of a “great whatsit” ticking away a la “Kiss Me Deadly” — ready to decimate the city and her core values — is a provocative metaphor, whichever side of the fence viewers find themselves on. Ironically, whereas the Hong Kong police in “Cold War” aspired to be responsible, transparent and civic-minded, bolstering the city’s reputation as “the safest place in Asia”; here, they’re forced to take orders from Up North, resorting to methods that are anything but by-the-book.
The world’s smallest nuclear weapon, DC8 (a South Korean invention), has been stolen by Interpol’s most wanted criminals: Helios (Chang Chen) and his sidekick, Messenger (Janice Man, “The Midnight After”). When sources reveal that Helios and his Middle Eastern buyer, Mr. Big (Mike Leeder), will trade the device in Hong Kong, top South Korean weapons expert Col. Choi Min-ho (Ji Jin-hee, “Perhaps Love,” “The Old Garden”), is dispatched to recover it. Park Woo-cheol (Choi Si-won, “Dragon Blade”), the top agent for the National Intelligence Service (NIS), is ordered to protect Choi, while Hong Kong-based agent Shim Mi-kyung (Yoon Ji-ni) navigates them around the city.
The Koreans join forces with Lee Yin-ming (Nick Cheung) and his junior Fan Ka-ming (Shawn Yue) from the Counter-Terrorism Response Unit (CTRU) and interrupt Helios’ deal in a parking lot. In a fresh departure from the whirlwind melees characteristic of most Hong Kong crime thrillers, the operation is a lean, mean shootout, followed by a motorcycle chase sequence that runs uninterrupted for well over 10 minutes.
A nuclear physicist, Prof. Siu Chi-yan (Jacky Cheung), issues a Cassandra-like exhortation to get DC8 out of Hong Kong. But the ground rules typically observed by dedicated officers like Lee and Fan shift under their feet with the arrival of Beijing envoy Song An and his assistant Xiaowen (Feng Wenjuan), who have an agenda of their own: to reset the Sino-American power balance. As these officers lock horns over thorny issues of “national security,” a powder keg is brewing at a little restaurant in Macau, run by one-time firearms dealer Sophia (Josephine Ku Mei-wah).
Not least because a portion of it was shot in Seoul, “Helios” shows some kinship with a few recent Korean action-thrillers, notably in the way it imagines Hong Kong as a hubbub of espionage and surveillance, realized via splashy production design and high-tech effects. While the film lacks the strong emotional currents of “The Berlin File” and the zany characters of “Cold Eyes,” Leung and Luk have nevertheless made considerable headway as screenwriters, ditching much of the pretzel-like plotting, bumpy pacing and bewildering character dynamics that plagued “Cold War.”
Although the film jumps around several Hong Kong districts, with side visits to Seoul and Kyoto, the timeline stays linear and the storytelling is easy to follow. Modulated by Ron Chan and Wong Hoi’s evenhanded editing, action sequences are spread out between talky boardrooms meetings and verbal standoffs. Audiences familiar with mainland screening criteria may well anticipate the big plot switcheroo in advance, but the cliffhanger ending still whets appetites for a sequel that’s in the works.
Still, given a multinational cast of this caliber, it’s a crying shame that the actors have been given almost nothing to work with; the characterization remains glaringly two-dimensional, with no backstory or psychological motivation to speak of. Wang and the two Cheungs get by on pure personal charisma, while Chang holds the frame with physical agility and his usual brooding coolness. The Korean thesps, especially Choi (of the boy band Super Junior-M), embrace their stock roles with straight-faced dedication, except for a drunken man-brawl scene that verges on corny self-parody.
Tech credits, courtesy of much of the helming duo’s former crew, are among the finest seen in a recent Hong Kong actioner. Juggling a heavy-duty armory and large cast in bustling districts like Jordan or Causeway Bay, the film features clean, controlled action choreography and stuntwork by Chin Ka-lok, though the fighting could do with a bit more grit or pizzazz. Only the scenes between Lee and Messenger pull no punches, as the characters pounce on each other with tendon-snapping ferocity. Cheung flaunts the MMA techniques he acquired for “Unbeatable,” while the lynx-like Man also gives as good as she gets.
Jason Kwan’s lensing is solid except for some pointlessly flashy helicopter shots, while the film’s tight pacing and well-developed tension help paper over the rote plot points. While the images look nice as they are, a 3D conversion will be screened exclusively in China.

Creating workspace for the Android source25 Oct 2009
I was playing around with the Android sources lately. I followed the androids way of creating the workspace on you machine, although that works perfectly it’s manual approach. So to make it a bit easier for you guys I just made a small script that can do all those steps for you.
The script is meant for Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit. If you have any complains let me hear about it. BTW I will try to mess some more with the sources and with android so you may see more info in the near future. DOWNLOAD

Shawn Spencer got 100% on his detective exam when he was 15, has an excellent shot, the ability to read people, great vision, and photographic memory. I'd love to see a case where he has to exercise these talents and show how well he does at them instead of flailing around to get his point across.
Basically: let's see Shawn be the fantastic detective we know he is!
(Or at the very least, oh my god, I would love to see Shawn with a gun.)
Categories: Post-season, Season
Everyone thinks Shawn needs Gus and the SBPD to investigate.
They were wrong.
When Shawn works around the system to hide a case he’s working on, the secret might just blow up in his face... or show truly capable he is to the people who always underestimated him.

When a case takes a strange turn, Shawn faces a difficult decision while his friends and family struggle to come to terms with the secret behind the secret.

Kadhi is a yoghurt or curd based preparation that can be enjoyed as is or used as a base for things like vegetables or pakodas to be cooked in. This dish is common in Gujarati, Rajasthani and Punjabi cuisine ... each having a different flavour due to the different seasonings and temperings.
Bengalis too make a kadhi of their own ... that is entirely different from the above three in taste and flavour.
The Lahsooni / Lahsuni Kadhi is a part of the thali ( full plate ) meals ... mostly Gujarati or Rajasthani ... in restaraunts. But ... yes, there is a but ... it is never served along with the other dishes in the plate.
The reason for this is many pure vegetarians do not eat onion and garlic ... hence this avoids any mixup.
The kadhi usually served in a thali is the white coloured and sweetish Gujarati kadhi. To get the Lahsuni kadhi, you will have to ask for it. Ask for 'Peeli ( yellow) kadhi' or 'Lahsuni kadhi' and you will get it.
I came to know about this because I have seen my husband do that. And insist for it to be served very hot ... tastes best that way.
(Updated : The shiny fat is from the curd .... after cooking ... not oil.)
I make this kadhi whenever I have run out of vegetables or dals ... i.e. whenmy pantry is empty. Or ... more importantly ... whenever I do not feel like being in the kitchen at all. And yet have to have some homemade food.
A comfort food at its best, this kadhi takes very little time to cook ... and the best part is you don't have to stand and keep watch ... does not demand any attention at all.
So if you are in the mood to be lazy, or are very tired, or desparately want to catch up with that book .... just set this on the stove and some rice in the MW or the cooker.
And go put your feet up. Your steaming hot dinner will be ready in a few minutes ... without any extra effort.
And the best part is it is healthy ... no masalas, almost no oil. :-)
This kadhi is different from the one I make for Kadhi Pakoda ... will post the recipe for that soon.
Curd / Yoghurt - 2 cups ( better if it is a couple of days old for the tang )
Besan / Gram flour - 1 tbsp
Garlic / Lahsoon cloves - 5 - 6 ( half crush in a pestle ... just one blow for each )
Hing / Asafoetida - 1 pinch ( you may add a little more if you love the flavour ) Haldi / Turmeric powder - 1 pinch
Red chilli powder - to taste
Water - around 4 - 5 cups ( you may want more )
Salt - to taste
Cooking oil - 1 tsp
How to :
Take the curd in a big sized bowl and whisk well till smooth. Add the besan, the masalas and water.
Add just a little salt ... we will add more later after the kadhi is done ( else it will become to osalty once the kadhi has thickened).
Heat oil in a deep wok / kadahi or pan (better if it is non stick). Do not make it too hot.
Add the hing and then the curd mixture. Throw in the garlic and set to boil.
Stir once in a while. Do not be impatient ... keep the heat on low all the while. If you are using a non stick vessel, you are safe ... there's no fear of it sticking to the bottom.
After it has cooked well ( the garlic should be well cooked and soft & the kadhi will be infused with its flavour ) and reached the desired consistency ( if you are having it on the side with rotis you can thicken it more ), adjust salt.
Remove and serve hot.
I love to sip the spicy hot kadhi like a soup. :-)
Goes best with steamed rice.
Go on ... enjoy a bowlful today!! :-)
In the past few months a lot of my blog friends have passed on some awards and tags to me. Since I was on a short break, I find it a little difficult to check out each and everyone for a mention here. But do let thank you all sincerely for having thought of me. Much appreciate it. :-)
Take care all !!

Baking chocolate chip cookies with the kids is one of my favorite family activities. When we had to go dairy and gluten free I was a little upset but I found a way to make chocolate chip cookies with some easy substitutions. Back when we had only one kid we made our own gluten free flour mixtures tailored to whatever we were making but now that we have three kids and our time is in very short supply I have been buying an all-purpose gluten-free flour. We found it at Costco for a decent price. It works pretty well for generic recipes and I use it in my Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Banana Bread and it tastes very similar to regular flour.
Gather your ingredients. We buy most of our items from Costco as you can see!
Cream your coconut oil and sugar in a bowl.
Add your eggs and vanilla and mix until blended.
Now add your baking soda, salt and flour. I like to split the flour in two to cut down on the mess. Purists will mix their dry ingredients in a separate bowl before mixing in with the wet ingredients but I like to avoid washing more dishes if at all possible so I have always done it this way.
Next add your chocolate chips. The recipe calls for 2 cups but honestly I just dump what I think is a good amount in and call it good. I like the dough to be full of chocolate chips so I probably add more like 2.5 cups but it really is a personal preference.
Once you are done mixing place the dough in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.
I usually freeze at least half of it by double wrapping it in plastic wrap. It is really convenient to have a little bit of cookie dough in the fridge for those days that you need to whip some dessert up in a hurry. Sometimes we will portion it out ahead of time and freeze on cookie trays so we can bake individual cookies which is great for when the grownups want an after bedtime treat!
Once chilled, set the dough out on the counter for 20-30 min and then used a 1 Tbsp measuring spoon to divide up the dough. Place it on a cookie sheet with a Silpat, ball it up a bit and then squash the tops so that they are a little flat.
Bake for 5-7 minutes at 350 degrees or until done. Leave on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes then transfer them too a cooling rack and let cool.
And that my friends is how we make our easy Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies! They are great with milk (both soy and regular). At some point I might get ambitious and try making dairy-free ice cream sandwiches with them.
What is your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe?
Mini Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
These easy to make dairy-free, gluten-free chocolate chip cookies are delicious! They are perfect for parties, events and for making with the kids.
- 3/4 c coconut oil
- 1/2 c granulated sugar
- 1 c packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups Gluten-Free flour
- 2 cups dairy-free chocolate chips
- Step 1 Cream your coconut oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a bowl.
- Step 2 Add the eggs and vanilla and mix on low.
- Step 3 Add your baking soda, salt and 1/2 of the flour and mix. Once mixed add the remaining flour and mix until smooth.
- Step 4 Add your chocolate chips and stir until combined.
- Step 5 Chill your dough for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Step 6 Remove dough from the fridge and let sit out at room temperature for 30 min.
- Step 7 Set oven to 350 degrees while you measure out your dough with a 1 Tbsp measuring spoon. When you measure pack the dough into the 1 Tbsp measuring spoon and flip onto the cookie sheet. Mold into balls and flatten slightly.
- Step 8 Bake for 5-7 min on the middle rack or until done.
- Step 9 Remove from the oven and cool on a wire cooling rack.
- Step 10 Enjoy!
- Step 11 If you decide not to bake all it at once you can double wrap the dough in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 weeks. Let thaw in the fridge for 24 hours before removing it to bake.

Diagnosis Code V59.6
Information for Medical Professionals
The ICD-10 and ICD-9 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
- Z52.6 - Liver donor
Index of Diseases and Injuries
References found for the code V59.6 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
- liver V59.6
- Liver - SEE ALSO See Also
A “see also” instruction following a main term in the index instructs that there is another main term that may also be referenced that may provide additional index entries that may be useful. It is not necessary to follow the “see also” note when the original main term provides the necessary code. condition
- donor V59.6
Information for Patients
Also called: Hepatic transplantation
Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. It helps your body digest food, store energy, and remove poisons. You cannot live without a liver that works. If your liver fails, your doctor may put you on a waiting list for a liver transplant. Doctors do liver transplants when other treatment cannot keep a damaged liver working.
During a liver transplantation, the surgeon removes the diseased liver and replaces it with a healthy one. Most transplant livers come from a donor who has died. Sometimes there is a living donor. This is when a healthy person donates part of his or her liver for a specific patient.
The most common reason for a transplant in adults is cirrhosis. This is scarring of the liver, caused by injury or long-term disease. The most common reason in children is biliary atresia, a disease of the bile ducts.
If you have a transplant, you must take drugs the rest of your life to help keep your body from rejecting the new liver.
NIH: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
- Liver transplant
Organ donation takes healthy organs and tissues from one person for transplantation into another. Experts say that the organs from one donor can save or help as many as 50 people. Organs you can donate include
- Internal organs: Kidneys, heart, liver, pancreas, intestines, lungs

Most organ and tissue donations occur after the donor has died. But some organs and tissues can be donated while the donor is alive.
People of all ages and background can be organ donors. If you are under age 18, your parent or guardian must give you permission to become a donor. If you are 18 or older you can show you want to be a donor by signing a donor card. You should also let your family know your wishes.

Welcome to It’s Pawsome where your little furbaby(ies) will be loved, cared for, and spoiled rotten while you are hard at work, away for the day enjoying some R&R time, at your children’s all-day sports tournaments, or just away on a very much needed vacation.
I offer dog walking and pet sitting services in the Danvers, Middleton, Boxford, Topsfield and surrounding Massachusetts areas. My love for animals began at the young age of 5 years old when my parents got our first dog…a Siberian Husky named Nikki. Since then, my love for animals has grown and grown to the point I began helping animals in need and volunteering at animal shelters for the past 18 years. My latest love has been volunteering for organizations in helping them transport homeless animals in high kill shelters in the Southern states up the East Coast states to their safe haven.
Up until recently, I was a stay at home mom. Throughout those years I would watch and take care of my family and friends’ pets when needed. Prior to that I was in the software industry as a quality assurance engineer for Microsoft. Once all my children were in school full time it was now time to get back into the workforce. This was the perfect time and opportunity to follow my dreams and do something that I love and am very passionate about, but most importantly that gives me the ability and flexibility to still be there for my children…the rest is history. Welcome to It’s Pawsome!

U-Dong Flavour Noodles
A Great Korean Noodle
U-Dong flavour noodles have a slightly seafood flavour, these are very mild in terms of spice, and are very easy to cook. A great instant noodle for all the family.
This Korean noodle is very straight forward to cook, to begin boil some water in a saucepan. Add the noodles, and a couple of minutes later throw in the sauchets,to finish off the noodles.
Pour the contents in to a bowl, I have added Tofu whilst cooking, but thats just my style You could potentially add seafood sticks, prawns, mussels or squid if you wanted and turn this in to a fantastic seafood soup.
Make sure you clean your bowl as the soup tastes great to!

DetailsAmerican icon, Bulova uses leading-edge technology combined with precise Japanese movements to craft luxury watches that embody the spirit of invention and creativity. Infinitely reliable, Bulova Watches is the quintessential American watch brand. Founded in 1875 by master watchmaker Joseph Bulova, the Bulova story is truly one of achieving the American Dream through sheer hard work and determination. Once a fledgling boutique, Bulova eventually grew into a global enterprise that changed the watch making landscape, significantly contributing to the horological industry by inventing new tools for building watches. Headquartered in New York, Bulova continues to roll out innovative and groundbreaking new ideas in men’s and women’s watch making year after year. From stainless steel dress watches for men and women, to everyday wear, Bulova seeks to satisfy the fashion sensibilities of all its high-end clientele. In 1919, Joseph Bulova, drawing on his inventive spirit that would define his brand, introduced its first line of men’s fully jeweled, stainless steel wristwatches. In those early days of the 20th century, many European watch manufacturers were stuck in the past, and reluctant to believe that a wristwatch would replace the iconic pocket watch as a man’s preferred timepiece. Another leap in innovation introduced by Bulova was The Bulova Accutron Watch, the world’s first fully electronic watch. Handcrafted in Switzerland, it revolutionizing the industry by creating the most accurate measuring system of the time. Instead of ticking, the watch was known for its distinctive humming sound. Legendary space exploration group NASA chose it for use in their new space time computers. Today, Bulova’s ingenuity is still gracing countless wrists worldwide, and on the moon. In keeping with their tradition of invention, The Bulova Precisionist is the newest and most advanced watch movement to emerge from Bulova’s laboratory. Boasting a second hand that beats 16 times per second as opposed to the industry standard of one time per second on other quartz movements, it claims to be the most accurate in the world.. This promotes a continuously sweeping second hand that is even more fluid than other mechanical watches that beat approximately 9 times per second. Every man or woman needs a Bulova watch that highlights their personality to perfection. The watch that a man wears tells a lot about what kind of person the man is. A plainly good looking stainless steel watch tells that the man has a sense of fashion but is not aware of the quality of different things of life. If a person is wearing a watch simply loaded with exciting features but does not have a similarly exciting, stainless steel exterior, then it can be said that the person only has taste for quality and not for the public eye. A good product fails to impress people if it is not provided in a great looking package. Similarly a watch loaded with good features will not have the desired effect in the eyes of the customers, if it does not have an awe-inspiring appearance. Bulova Watches follow a path of design and precision, equipped with a stainless steel exterior, ensuring that both quality and bravado are at your fingertips at all times. If your choice is innovation with compromising luxury, choose one of our Bulova Stainless Steel Watches and speak with our representatives today.

Facebook Graph Search
Mobile search is ripe for innovation and Facebook could be the one to do it, given its large user base. However, by not making its new Graph Search service available on mobile at launch, this leaves the door open for someone else to take the lead as an agent for change.
Google has approximately a 95 percent share of searches on mobile in part because it is the default search option on most devices and there simply are not many other options out there. Others are trying to innovate in mobile search such as Microsoft Bing and Kickvox but they lack the enormous customer base that Facebook has.
“With the user experience being even more important on mobile devices it is not surprising that Facebook is making sure they have all their bases covered before releasing on mobile,” said Roger Barnette, president of IgnitionOne, New York.
“Of course every day without the new Graph Search on mobile is a missed opportunity, but until advertising is integrated into the experience as well it is not really material to their financial performance or that of advertisers,” he said.
“Facebook wants to deliver a perfect experience – too bad they could not do that on mobile out of the gate but it is the right decision to wait if they weren't ready.”
The mobile problem
Search on mobile faces several challenges.
Many would agree that the experience is not yet great since Web search is still primarily driven by desktop use.
One of the challenges in mobile search is the way that users conduct a search from a smartphone, especially as voice search grows. The searches are worded differently, which means the algorithms have to keep up, an area where Google leads.
There are also monetization issues since paid search ads in mobile generate significantly lower revenues compared to what they bring in on desktop. This is one of the reasons why Google has seen CPCs go down as mobile use has grown.
Some are also already trying to improve search on mobile. However, their potential impact is likely to be minimal if no other reason than scale.
“I think Microsoft is doing a lot of great work with Bing for Mobile Web but their challenge is distribution and differentiation,” said Marc Poirier, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Acquisio, Brossard, Canada . “I don't expect them to pose a serious threat to Google on the short term.”
Taking on Google
However, Facebook could potentially make a big impact on mobile search when it extends Graph Search to smartphones.
The new Graph Search service announced by Facebook this week will let users search for people, photos, places and interests based on content that has already been shared with them. While it is currently only available in beta on desktop, Facebook said it is looking to bring it to mobile.
“Graph search on mobile means you can easily find local restaurants or businesses that are recommended by your Facebook friends,” Mr. Poirier said.
“People are using Google and Google maps to search locally, they also use Open Table and Yelp for restaurants - changing those habits will be a huge challenge, but Facebook being such a popular mobile app, it's not hard to imagine they could gain traction against Google on mobile search,” he said.
One strategy that Facebook could take in mobile search would be to launch a mobile application that leverages Graph Search to find local businesses.
Apps are in fact a big focus for Facebook in mobile following its retreat from HTML 5 and the mobile Web, with the company having said the user experience on the mobile Web is not where it is needs to be.
“Of course there is a missed opportunity for Facebook in local search, to be honest I don't think they need to release it immediately, but they do need to release it in a thoughtful way - they cannot damage the user experience they provide today and risk alienating users who are generating revenue, all the while they need to make search obvious on mobile devices,” Mr. Poirier said.
“Facebook could solve this problem with a separate app from the current Facebook app, one that would be designed specifically for Graph Search and specifically enhanced to find local businesses,” he said.
Facebook is dealing with many of the same issues that Google is in terms of figuring out how to monetize mobile as use increasingly moves from desktop to smartphones and tablets.
While the social network’s initial efforts into mobile advertising via Sponsored Stories in the mobile newsfeed are finding early success, Facebook will need to have a presence in mobile search if it is to maintain its relevancy going forward.
“Facebook has made it clear the importance of mobile to their business,” Mr. Barnette said. “I don’t expect the lag to be very long until Graph Search is released on mobile devices.
“But of course, I expect every digital business to be innovating in the mobile space,” he said. “If you are ignoring mobile it is only a matter of time before you are irrelevant.”

Several years ago, at the 2013 South Carolina Beekeepers Conference, I attended a presentation given by Florida Agricultural’s “Hall of Fame,” 3rd generation beekeeper, and recently passed away (February, 2022) Chief Apiary Inspector Lawrence Cutts.
The audience literally groaned as he described at length, one by one, all the negative aspects of beekeeping: the viruses, mites, increased costs, and various diseases. After each lengthy, gruesome description of a malady he raised his voice and proclaimed,
“Never before, in all my years, have I been so excited to be a beekeeper.”
Finally, after much more deliberation, he gave up the punchline: “Why be excited? Because never before in all my life has beekeeping enjoyed the attention it is getting today in the media and public eye.”
The point being, beekeepers are enjoying the attention and support as never before. Beekeeping organizations on all levels are being gifted with a wonderful resource of an ever increasing number of enthusiastic beginners eager to take on the tasks of learning both the science and the art of beekeeping. It is, indeed, an exciting time to be a beekeeper. Clubs and associations have won the lottery with the influx of excited newcomers and the many talents they bring to our organizations.
Can we as local and state organizations meet the needs of these beginning beekeepers and move them towards success in their new interest? Talking with some of our older association members, I’ve learned that at one time interest in local beekeeping was much less than seen today. Meetings were small enough they could be held in any small group room, and sometimes a beginner came. In those days a mentor usually coupled with a beginner and taught them the basics. I looked into this mentoring model of teaching and discovered that it wasn’t uncommon for a new beekeeper to visit the mentor’s bee yard for a season before getting their own bees. And once the mentee received their bees, either through a spring split or swarm the next year, they may have left them at the mentor’s bee yard over the mentee’s second year to work in the presence of the mentor with appropriate guidance.
Times change and nowadays we find ourselves needing ever more mentors to serve our new members. Ironically, as pointed out by Lawrence Cutts, the new beekeeper today has been drawn to a hobby that has increased in difficulty due to an increase in pests, chemicals, lack of forage areas, and increased costs.
Simply stated, the job of mentoring is getting bigger and bigger, beekeeping is ever more complex, and new beekeepers are joining and needing our support more than ever before. All the while, the need for mentors is far outpacing an ever dwindling supply.
To complicate matters, not only has there been in increase in beginning beekeepers, most new beekeepers wish to start their own hives the first year at their homes. I do find the occasional member that started by visiting a mentor’s bee yard for their first year, or spent a year attending club meetings and activities but that seems to be the exception to the rule.
This mentee/mentor dilemma needs solutions to help the new beekeeper become successful. While there are things mentors and clubs can do to help new beekeepers be successful, here I will focus my attention on the new beekeeper and their role in getting themselves through that first year and beyond.
Surfing the web, and various discussion boards, the prospective beekeeper looking for advice is repeatedly told, 1) join a club and 2) get a mentor. That’s good advice but it falls far short. Joining a club is great but sending in your $10 won’t get you any closer to becoming a better beekeeper. And just finding a mentor won’t either unless he’s a good friend or neighbor that’s willing to swap lessons for apple pies. First of all, the number of experienced beekeepers is far fewer than the number of new beekeepers. Add to that that most experienced beekeepers have bees to take care of themselves, limited free time like most, and finding one that is close enough and willing to teach a new beekeeper may be a challenge – finding one that has the heart and willingness to make home visits is like finding gold!
I’m going to suggest a new angle towards getting the new, prospective beekeeper everything they need to find success in this challenging mix of science and art we call beekeeping.
- The new beekeeper should find a local club or association and start attending meetings. Local clubs provide opportunities to learn. See if your local club is a fit for you. Are meetings educational? Is time made at each meeting to allow you to network to find a bee buddy or mentor? If you don’t feel it’s a good fit then look elsewhere for a club that fits or join multiple local clubs.
- Start your search for a good beginning beekeeper class. Half-day or single day classes are good for determining if beekeeping is something you’d like to learn. Better introductory beekeeping classes span multiple evenings or weekends and offer or encourage Master Beekeeping Program Certified testing. If you’re more advanced look for a club that provides intermediate level topics at meetings or pushes their members towards Journeyman level material and courses. If your local club minimizes education, look for a class at the next closest club and attend their meetings too. The drive may be worthwhile.
- Sign up and take the next beginning beekeeper class offered. Read the handouts; read the book. Don’t be satisfied to be spoon fed the information and don’t limit yourself to only the information in the class. Consider this class your toe in the door, your introduction, the beginning of your adventure. Beekeeping is challenging with a steep and expensive learning curve; challenge yourself to learn this craft.
- Visit your local library and check out books on beekeeping. You will find some entertaining, some are scientific, and some histories. Read all that you find helpful.
- Decide right now that coming to monthly meetings is an important part of your continuing beekeeping education. Monthly meetings are opportunities to learn. Miss one at your own risk. Many club meeting topics follow the bee’s annual cycle through the seasons. Important things to do and observe are discussed at meetings. The meeting you miss may be the one that offers the information you needed to hear that month.
- Volunteer for club activities. Club activities are opportunities to learn. If your club offers community outreach at festivals and events talk to your club’s event coordinator. Volunteer to work with someone else “talking bees” with the public. If you took the beginning beekeeper class you know 100% more than the general population. Listen to the experienced volunteer you are paired with and learn from them. Talk with them during breaks. If you enjoy speaking to children there is real need to visit with elementary classes. Senior centers also appreciate visits and often contact clubs to schedule brief talks.
- Watch your bees. Even if you aren’t going inside the hive. Get a chair and sit and watch them coming and going. Soak it in. At first you’ll not have anything to compare their coming and going with. As the seasons progress, nectar flows begin and end, temperatures change, their behavior will change as well. Soon you will notice subtle changes in their behavior on the landing board. With time you’ll know when something’s wrong and needs further inspection – just by watching them.
- If your club has social events like pre meeting dinners, occasional social events, or days in the bee yard, attend them. Club social events are opportunities to learn and meet other beekeepers. Beekeepers tend to want to talk about bees – exhaustively. Only other beekeepers want to talk about bees as much as you. You will learn a lot talking with others at these events. Bee social. Network.
- Find a bee buddy. A bee buddy may be another first year beekeeper in your neighborhood or a second year beekeeper that lives close by. Your bee buddy is the one you call when your hive swarms and you need to borrow a box. A bee buddy is someone to visit and look at their hives; they come over and look at yours too. Bee buddies show you how to do new things with your bees. Find a bee buddy at meetings, events, or during meeting fellowship time.
- Enter your hives as often as is prudent. During some seasons the bees are docile and tolerant of your intrusions. In the spring visit them often – even every week. When you enter the hive go in with an idea of what you wish to accomplish in mind. What do you want to observe? The first few times you will be so filled with excitement you’ll forget to look for those things you set as your goal. That’s okay, look on your next visit. There are other seasons when the bees are best left alone such as when they are arranging and securing their winter home or during colder months. Take every opportunity to observe them.
- Join your club’s online discussion group if it has one. You’ll find quick answers to questions you have. Often a photo and description to the group will result in helpful responses or allay your anxiety about something you’ve never seen before. If you do have an emergency often a club member can swing by after work and take a look. Both girls and guys participate in forums and sometimes you find that you’re neighbors!
- Read your club’s newsletter. Local happenings are listed. Important dates too. Sale ads and articles of interest as well as your club’s minutes, scheduled speakers and topics keep you informed. Often the club will have an article or beekeeping calendar directly related to seasonal beekeeping letting you know what to observe and do in your hives that month.
- Attend local educational offerings. Local educational offerings are opportunities to learn. Some clubs bring in out-of-town speakers for special topics of interest. Other times clubs or local beekeepers offer day classes on specific topics of interest: Queen rearing, Moving hives, Making Splits, Africanized bees, oh my!
- Attend state conferences. Conferences are opportunities to learn. Even if you can’t stay for two and a half days, at least go for a single day. The information you hear will be from seasoned beekeepers and scholars in bee research from around the country. They have a knack for breaking it down for us simple beekeepers though so it all works out. Have lunch with fellow beekeepers. If you overnight, find out where your club or neighboring club will be having dinner and socialize. Carpool with your bee buddy. Hang out in the hotel lobby and talk bees until late.
- You may never need if you’re doing all of the above, but if you do: Email your club’s Secretary to see if a bee buddy or mentor lives close to you. Preferably one that also attends meetings. Sit with them, or watch and listen to them teach at the front of the room. If you don’t understand something ask after the meeting. Offer to help do hard work like pulling supers, rotating boxes, or extracting honey. Tell them you’ll gladly help with their next swarm retrieval. Ask them tough questions that show your enthusiasm and that you’re making every effort to learn. If they know you’re dedicated to learning, attending, and making an effort it makes all the difference in the world.
- Set high goals for yourself; going from mentee to mentor. Take on the challenge of the Master Beekeeping Program which will guide you to becoming a better beekeeper. After your beginning course, take the Certified level testing. After a period of time you will feel more comfortable with your beekeeping and should take the next step towards Journeyman Certification. Become a mentor by volunteering as a club officer, presenting at a club event, or taking on a mentee yourself. Teaching and serving is an educational opportunity for you as well as for others. It’s also your opportunity to give back and grow from mentee to mentor in whatever job role you feel comfortable.
In the end it’s all about learning about bees, their biology, behavior, and management. Along with that come the seasons, foliage, the bees’ cousins, and foes. Beekeeping is both fun and challenging. It’s learning the biology of animal husbandry along with the age old craft of keeping bees. The new beekeeper that wants to succeed should throw themselves into learning this craft by taking advantage of every opportunity that presents itself rather than assume it will come as a result of passive learning. Today’s prospective beekeeper has more resources that ever before: monthly meetings, progressive educational offerings, club outreach opportunities, fellowship, books, YouTube videos, discussion groups, conferences, and more. Take advantage of every offering available and you will succeed. Now, get to a meeting!

Armo-Geddon is where it all started for Shoreline - our first ever event all those years ago! Well, it's now time for the 8th installment as once again Good takes on Evil in a battle to the bitter end.
Armo-Geddon VIII is very very straight forward. It is a single day event, inexpensive to attend but a LOT of fun. We always choose the next generation of players as Generals (under 16's) and the game always ends in a rather explosive manner on the famous YPC Bridge!
A great and cheap gunfight to start the season.

Maybe if you shit your pants at the first sign of stress, you should reconsider choosing law enforcement as your career.
Maybe if you’re a law enforcement agency, you should quit hiring people who shit their pants at the first sign of stress. And perhaps instead of just circling the wagons when your officers kill someone, you should seek out and require better training for yourselves – and be accountable for your lack of it when it fails.
Maybe if you’re a local government, you should ensure that your law enforcement agencies have the funding and resources they need to hire and properly train officers to serve and protect the public without the influence of institutional biases and a “shoot first” mentality. This way, if an unqualified candidate manages to slip through the cracks and become an officer, their training might overcome their natural tendency to shit their pants at the first sign of stress.
And maybe if you’re a citizen who votes, you should elect local government officials who support reforming a justice system that almost always protects the undertrained officers who shit their pants at the first sign of stress before the actual lives of the innocent people who pay their salaries. The people who seek your vote should first and foremost answer to you, the voter, and not just the law enforcement agencies they pay with your tax dollars.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WBKO) -- A Kentucky law goes into effect this school year, requiring all schools to display the words "In God We Trust" in a prominent location.
At least one school district has responded by enlarging and framing copies of $1 bills, which also feature the phrase.
At least one Lexington mother posted in support of the decision, saying her children "don't feel awkward or excluded for not believing in any God."
Other residents said the displays should be more prominent. The lawmaker behind the mandate agrees.

Hackers who shut down the municipal computers of Riviera Beach (a suburb of Palm Beach) in a ransomware attack have just earned themselves $600,000 (£475,000) when the local council decided they had no choice but to pay them.
An email containing awas opened by an employee. The result was that the ransomware (malware) shut down Riviera Beach’s computer systems and encrypted the files. This meant that the email system, the system that allowed 911 dispatchers to be able to enter calls into the computer, water pump stations, and staff pay systems were all seriously disrupted. Staff were forced to revert to a manual, paper-based admin system.
The local Council, which has since voted to spend $1 million on new computers and hardware to prevent further hacks, voted to pay the hackers their $600,000 (£475,000) ransom demand to unlock the computer systems and prevent file deletions. The money was paid in the bitcoin crypto-currency and the payment has been covered by the town’s insurance policy.
One of the problems of paying hackers who have acted dishonestly in the first place is that there is no guarantee that they will honour their agreement and turn systems back on, which is why many online security experts advocate never paying hacker demands. Also, if, as in this case, a large ransom is reported to have been paid, this may embolden other hackers to keep using this method of attack e.g. on other council systems.
Fastest Growing Malware Threat
In the US, the Department of Homeland Security has reported that ransomware is the fastest growing malware threat, with City governments in Atlanta, Newark, N.J. and Sarasota all being hit by ransomware schemes. Ransomware attacks have caused major problems with baggage displays and email at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, computers at the Port of San Diego, (back in 2018) the 100-bed Hancock Regional Hospital in the suburbs of Indianapolis, and threats have even been made to entire towns and cities e.g. city of Leeds, Alabama was attacked and a $55,000 ransom was demanded.
Other Examples of Ransomware Attacks
Back in 2017, guests at the Brandstaetter hotel at the Romantik Seehotel Jaegerwirt resort in Austria were locked out of their rooms and other areas of the hotel including the bar after the hotel was targeted by a ransomware attack. The hotel paid the €1,500 demand.
This month in the UK’s biggest private forensic company, Eurofins Forensic Services, which carries out DNA testing, toxicology, firearms testing and computer forensics for UK police forces was hit with a ransomware attack which has caused disruption to its IT systems in several countries.
What Does This Mean For Your Business?
Ransomware is a popular attack tool because it is often relatively cheap to create and use, it can spread easily (like WannaCry), the attackers can remain anonymous, and it yields the main motivation for many attacks – financial gain. In the case of Riviera Beach, the attackers focused on local government networks as they were most likely to be easy to penetrate and attack, in this case using a phishing email and relying on human error of staff to open it.
UK businesses and other organisations should, therefore, be warned that all staff should be made aware of the threat of suspicious emails and updates, how to spot them, and what to do (and not do) if they identify one. Keeping security software up to date and regularly backing up critical data is important, as is assessing the possible danger and false economy of staying with old operating systems as long as possible.
In order to provide maximum protection against prevalent and varied threats businesses should adopt multi-layered security solutions and accept that there is a real likelihood that they will be targeted, thereby helping them to make better preparations. Businesses should implement the most up to date security solutions, keep up to date with virtual patching, and education of employees in order to mitigate risks from as many angles (‘vectors’) as possible.
Having workable and well-communicated Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans in place is also an important requirement.

Joe Augustine - Elder provided community with link to the past
Deceased: Jan. 14, 1995
By Cheryl Petten
When Joe Augustine was young, he and his father would walk through the woods near their home community of Red Bank First Nation, now known as Metepenagiag Mi'kmaq Nation, located near the Miramichi River in central New Brunswick.
Their regular route would take them along a path beaten down over the years by caribou. Each time they walked the path, father and son would stop and rest next to a small mound next to the trail. They'd make a fire and have some tea or a bit of something to eat, and Augustine's father would tell him of the history of this place.
In times past, his father would say, Indians would celebrate here, building a fire in the centre of the mound and dancing around it. It was those Indians, his father said, who built the mound. Years passed. Augustine, who had left school at the age of 15 to help his father in the woods-fishing, hunting and trapping-carried on the same traditional way of life as he grew older.
He would go away to Campbellton, now and again, to find work on the log drives, then return home and resume his life on the land. It was during one of these stays in Campbellton that he met Mary Metallic. He was 21 and she was 16. They met again five years later and were married in 1936. The couple had eight children-four girls and four boys.
Augustine was one of those people who was always busy. In his spare time he'd make all manner of baskets, and he was also a gifted musician. He played the guitar, fiddle, flute and piano, but his favorite instrument was the accordion. He spoke the Mi'kmaq language fluently, and passed the language on to his children.
Augustine was known for his kindness, for his willingness to help others and for his great sense of humor.
He was also an avid reader. In 1972, he read an article in National Geographic magazine about the discovery of an ancient burial mound in Arizona, and remembered the mound he and his father would sit by to drink their tea in his childhood.
His curiosity piqued, the next day he went to the mound, shovel in hand, and began to dig. He came home, laid newspapers out on the kitchen table, took his finds out of his nap sack and placed them on the table for his family to see.
One of the items was a bundle wrapped up in birch bark. When he unwrapped it, he found a number of ancient artifacts, including copper beads and rings and a copper arrowhead.
His daughter Madeline suggested they take the items to the university in Fredericton to show them to someone there. They showed them to a professor at St. Thomas University, Paul Morrissey, who was starting up the university's Native studies program. He in turn contacted Dr. Chris Turnbull, who had just been hired on as provincial archeologist.
Turnbull travelled to Red Bank to see Augustine's find and was impressed and excited by what he saw.
Augustine was very interested in learning more about the history of his people, in following up on the oral histories passed on to him by his father, and wanted to investigate the mound site further. But the decision as to whether or not to proceed was left to the community of Red Bank. After lengthy negotiations, the band gave the go ahead.
Items found during excavation of the mound showed it was the site of a burial ground that had been used for ceremonies as far back as 2,500 years ago. Not only did it provide clues about the lives of the people who used the site throughout the years, but showed that the people of Red Bank had been a presence in the area for centuries.
Augustine is also credited with the discovery of another major archeological find in the area, the Oxbow site, a village site where the Metepenagiag people had lived since ancient times. Located where the Northwest and Little Southwest Miramichi rivers meet, the sand and silt deposited by the rivers over the years have served to separate artifacts from different times throughout history, making it easier for archeologists to date and sort the item sound. The layers of artifacts extend down about eight feet, providing evidence that Red Bank is New Brunswick's oldest occupied village. If not for Augustine, all of the artifacts and everything that has been learned from them, would likely have been lost forever. In an attempt to bring more money into the community, Red Bank First Nation had begun selling off its abundant gravel reserves, and a nearby gravel pit would have soon expanded to take in the mound site. Once Augustine's discovery highlighted the significance of the site, all gravel pit developments in the area were halted. Both the Augustine Mound, which Augustine's initial discovery became known as, and the Oxbow site have been designated as provincial and national historic sites.
While excavation of the sites was completed in the late 1970s, researchers continue to learn from what was found using procedures and technology that didn't exist when the sites were explored 30 years ago.
While the information gained from the excavations has been a boon to the archeological community, for the community of Red Bank it has provided a link between present and past.
Before the discoveries, no one in the community knew much about their heritage, and most of what was known dated back only a century or so. Thanks to what has been learned from the Augustine Mound and the Oxbow site, people of the community now know they are part of a history that dates back at least 3,000 years. They now know how their ancestors dressed, what they ate, and that their people have managed to survive for three millennia.
In 1994, a film crew from Beaver Creek Pictures in Toronto came to Red Bank to tell the story of Joe Augustine, his discoveries and of the community and its long, rich heritage. The result, released in the spring of 1995, was The Village of Thirty Centuries. Augustine never had a chance to see the film in its entirety. In December 1994, Augustine developed double pneumonia. He recovered from the illness, but it left his heart weakened and his condition began to deteriorate. Augustine's family told the film's producer and director, Conrad Beaubien, of their father's failing health, and he worked to quickly put together a shorter version of the film for Augustine to see. The film was rushed to Augustine, who, surrounded by family, watched the 10-minute video of himself from his hospital bed. He was pleased with the film, and that people around the world would now have a chance to hear his story and the story of Red Bank.
After watching the video for the fourth time, he told his family he was tired, closed his eyes and went to sleep. He died the next morning, Jan. 14, 1995 at the age of 83. Some family members believe that, once he saw that there were others that could continue what he'd begun, he was ready to go, knowing that the work he needed to do was complete.
An interpretive centre, Metepenagiag Heritage Park, will open in June 2006. It will allow the community to celebrate its rich past and ensure the stories that Augustine's father passed on to him will be passed on to future generations.

The weekly paper reported in its first edition about a state investigation of vote-fraud allegations, then analyzed records obtained from investigators to report that the county had an unusually high number of absentee ballots, many of which were witnessed by employees of the county sheriff’s department and cast by criminal defendants, some of whose charges were soon dropped.
The paper also revealed that the county's chief deputy, the arresting officer in several cases in which the suspects immediately voted and were given leniency, was also pawning county-owned guns for personal gain. He has resigned and pleaded guilty to failing to discharge his duties. The vote-fraud investigation continues. For a story about the Austins from the Asheville Citizen-Times, click here.
Ben Gish, son of Tom and Pat Gish and editor of The Mountain Eagle, serves on the award committee. He said, “Even though it occurred a few decades apart, I get the same feeling from looking at the examples of their work as I do when I look at copies of the Eagle when my parents were just getting started in the late 1950s.”
Upon getting the news, Jonathan Austin said, “We are humbled and honored to receive the Gish Award. Good journalists can spend their careers doing important work, yet they may never receive recognition other than an occasional tip of the hat from their neighbors. To be recognized by the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues for our work reporting on the events in Yancey County is especially nice because the institute strives to strengthen the small, rural media in Appalachia."

Tidy storage between steeps?
I use a lot of fill-it-yourself paper bags at work for convenience, but as klutzy as I am, leaving a used bag out on a spoon rest is a recipe for tea stain disaster - how do you store your leaves between steeps? I thought about a little Tupperware-type keeper, but wondered if the damp leaves would get nasty.
I’m on an involuntary frugality kick right now, and hate tossing tea that’ll make multiple cups. Your tips?
For most of my tea making, I use one of these infusers.
I just let the leaves sit in it if I know I’m going to be steeping more and if I’m done I shake it into the trashcan. It does require some light rinsing between teas, so if you don’t have access to a small sink it might not be worth it.
Would using a small cup to place it in would reduce the chances of tea stain-age? For tupperware, I’d be worried about it getting moldy, but I guess that really depends on how long you leave it in there. Maybe if you rubberbanded some cheesecloth on top of a tupperware container to let it breathe? No clue if that would work.
I don’t typically use bags but I have a china saucer that matches no other china set that I own, my parents own or my in-laws own (I have no idea where it came from) that I don’t mind if it gets messy or stained and that’s where everything damp with tea gets set – spoons, drippy teapots, bags, whatever. Then every so often, I dip it in a bleach/water mix and all is happy again.
I use a Chantal tea bin, but I don’t let damp leaves sit overnight. I’m not sure how long you’re talking about keeping things.
I love it for work because the damp bags don’t create an unsightly mess on my desk for my coworkers.
I’ve had no problem w/ damp leaves personally. I often start leaves at nite and then finish them in the morning. Maybe I just have good luck?
At Walgreens this weekend, I found for a whopping $0.69 what they call “mini canisters” … a little ceramic container a touch larger than a film canister. I think that may do the trick. Price was certainly right.
I love my ingenuiTEA because the leaves can stay put. If I want to switch what kind I’m making w/o throwing them out I just dump them into a dish. When I use my own fillable bags (which I also LOVE) I just put the bag in an empty cup. Gently squeezing just enough to drain the mess back into your cup helps.
I always brew with the leaves loose in the pot, so if I think I want to resteep them, I’ll just leave them there. If I’m drinking something else in between, I’ll make that in a different pot. I have plenty to choose from so that’s not a problem.
The leaves can’t touch milk or cream if you want to keep them — whether loose or in a strong bag. Not unless you really hate someone and want to make them a cup of tea and watch their reaction. You may want to have running shoes on, though.
Otherwise, thanks for asking this question. I was wondering this myself and the replies have been interesting.
A teapot w/ an infuser at the top works great too. teagarden.com has a great one on sale for the holidays. http://www.teagarden.com/steeping-pot-c-45-p-2-pr-517.html
I have this teapot and I love it. It is a very durable glass teapot. I highly recommend!
Do you have problems w/ it not decanting all of the liquid? I have to tip it upside down and shake it and I still normally have a little at the bottom. I also hate how the leaves get cought in grooves of the cover and by the strainer.

Some artists engage in false modesty: "I am humbled by this award." No, you're really not.
But singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith actually seems serious when he says he's nobody special and his songs are just songs.
"I'm not a musician. I'm a person who happens to play music," he said in a telephone interview last week.Well, that person will play that music at the Iron Horse Music Hall on Friday and Saturday nights as part of the club's ongoing 30th anniverary celebration.
Admittedly, Eaglesmith hasn't enjoyed any sort of Beatlesque popular success that might have swollen his head. But he does have a legion of adoring fans and has garnered much critical acclaim form a music press that often chisels his name in the pantheon of greats such as Tom Waits Woody Guthrie and Bruce Springsteen.
He has also garnered awards for his work and his latest CD, "Tinderbox" is up for a Juno, the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy. So one might not blame Eaglesmith if he were just a little boastful about his work. But that's not happening.
"I don't really care about any of that stuff," he said. "I played my songs in my kitchen for years before anyone knew me and I'm doing the same thing. I was pretty good then, but really what I do is not that special. I'm just another cog in the gear."
Eaglesmith also applies his unique outlook on himself to others. Living mostly on the road has given him a way of looking at things that most people don't have, he said.
"Now I'm almost developing this road persona for myself and it's a little over-the-top," he said. "It's like I'm the last gypsy and this living on road gives me a perspective and people are looking for perspective these days. So living on the road strips your ego down. And when that happens, you can tell the truth, like, people call themselves Republicans and Democrats but they aren't born any of those things. We're just people."
Along with his road persona, Eaglesmith's stage act is legendary among his fans. He is fearless when telling stories from the stage and has admitted that one of his goals is to offend as many people as possible.
"The stage banter thing goes around, I do something for a while then it changes," he said. "It's mainly me not wanting to be just a singer-songwriter guy. After Bob Dylan, everyone thought they could just get up and sing their songs and not have any stage presence. Well, Bob can do that if he wants because his songs are good enough, but most people can't. So I try to entertain people too.
Does he ever get complaints that he talks too much and that he should, in the words of Frank Zappa's song, "Shut up 'n' play yer guitar"?
"People have told me I talk too much and other people told me I should talk more," he said. "But I'm not playing for the guy who comes up to me after the show and tells me I should talk less. I'm playing for the guy who comes up to me afterward and tells me how much something I did meant to him."

For most beginners, scuba diving feels very exciting and intriguing. Almost addicting, sometimes. It’s like discovering a whole new world you’ve never known before. Developing whole new skills you never know you are capable of. Learning to dive, although could be a bit exhausting, promise a very rewarding discovery once you get to the open sea. As a rookie, however, there are several cautions you need to really pay attention to. Failure to notice these health and safety caution could cause fatal consequences.
Most Fatal Scuba Diving Beginners Mistake: Equipment Fault
Failure of equipment could cause death for divers. Damaged diving gears include regulator malfunctioning, broken compass, equipment that leaked air, broken buckets, and many more. Practice good reading of scuba diving equipment since beginners—and remember to never underestimate it once you become a pro.
The Risk of Loose Regulator
Regulator recovery is probably the best first-aid to teach for scuba diving for beginners. It’s the device that would help you to keep breathing underwater. Proper handling of regulator is very important to learn, especially as regulator could get knocked out of your mouth. While this is a common thing for a pro, beginners could get a lot of stress with this problem. Sometimes, regulator mouthpiece even got snagged on your BCD, putting more stress to the situation. It’s very important to practice recovery. During scuba lessons, make sure you learn how to kneel at steady platform (the pool floor or sea bed), reaching your back and calmly locating the mouthpiece, and recovering the regulator. It may seem simple, but the impact could be totally fatal!
Never Dive with Cold or Sinus Infections
How does your body feel when you get cold? Worst. Should you continue to dive when you catch cold? Absolutely not. This is one of most frequent question coming from beginner divers, and the one you should always obey. Never attempt to dive when your nose is either blocked or runny. Cold and sinus cause swelling and congestion in your upper respiratory pathways. It blocks your eustachian tubes and sinus opening, which cause difficulties for your body to equalise the pressure between the middle ears and sinuses. When your body cannot equalise the pressure properly, diving could pose a rick of ear pain and hearing loss, tinnitus, nausea, facial pain, and even nose bleeds. While you have cold, don’t dive. It’s just not worth the sacrifice.
Time to Rest Between Flying and Diving
One of the most common beginner mistakes on scuba diving: not having enough time between diving to flying. While diving after flying is generally okay (we still recommend a day break, though), flying after diving is dangerous. Flying right after diving session could be fatal as you have too much nitrogen on your tissue. Have sometime to let off the nitrogen build up in your body. If you just did one singe non-decompression dive, you could wait at least 12 hours before flying. But if you just got back from series of non-decompressor dives in a row, like a liveaboard diving trip, wait at least 18 hours before boarding the plane. If you are not in hurry, we recommend an entire 24 hours rest for maximum nitrogen let off.
Don’t Bring Dive Camera on First Few Dives
The best thing that happened for scuba diving for beginners is probably the opportunity to photograph life under the water. The crabs, the nudibranchs, the colourful corals, and mesmerising school of fishes. However, diving with underwater camera is not the best idea to bring with in your first few dives. Camera could potentially get you distracted as you are adjusting the composition and playing with the buttons. Before you know it, you are intentionally ascending! Stick with adaptation and practicing the best diving techniques while you’re still on the learn.

Queensland is a huge decentralised state, heavily reliant on agriculture for its economic prosperity. Primary production is a cornerstone of our wealth and hugely important for exports and domestic consumption. Farming land needs to be carefully managed to ensure high productivity and economic use of resources. One Nation commits to consulting with the agricultural sector to implement policies that both protect the environment whilst allowing productive use of farmland.
One Nation will:
Allow the productive management of farming properties including the development of a policy governing the removal of regrowth vegetation.
Introduce a ‘good neighbour’ policy between farmers and managers of National Parks and Forest Reserves to ensure consultation and mutual approaches to common issues such as fencing, fire, pests and weed infestation.
Fund a wild dog eradication program in sheep country and pig controls in the North.

As part of our efforts to help developers jumpstart development of Windows Phone applications and games, yesterday (5/4/2010) we released a refresh of the Windows Phone Training Kit on Channel 9. You can download a local copy of the training kit, or you can go to the online version on Channel 9.
This release includes Windows Phone MIX10 videos as well as one new lab. Due to the limited nature of this release, which focused on getting the tools to work with VS2010 RTM, we managed to introduce only one new lab – Using Push Notifications. This lab features an end-2-end scenario for a simple weather application that register to receive Push Notifications as well as a WPF client application that mimics the 3rd party backend server.
On top of that, the training kit includes additional four labs (all refreshed to the new tools):
Hello Phone - This lab intends to be the classic “Hello World” application, introducing you to the tools and procedures required to build and test Silverlight for Windows Phone applications. During the lab, you will see how to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phones, Expression Blend to build and design your Windows Phone applications, and how to deploy and debug your Windows Phone application on the Windows Phone Emulator
Building Your First Windows Phone Application – This lab introduces you to the basic building blocks of any Windows Phone Silverlight application. During the course of this lab you will create a simple puzzle game. The lab takes you through the different stages of starting a new project, adding controls and code behind, and testing and debugging. Unlike the Hello World lab, this lab focuses more on a few phone-related topics like navigation, using pages, frame and navigation services, multi-touch, and isolated storage.
Windows Phone Navigation and Controls – This lab introduces you to the Windows Phone layout system, the phone’s chrome, and few new controls. The lab explains the basics of navigating between different screens (pages) in a Windows Phone Silverlight application. During the lab you will build a navigation application that switches between various screens, with each screen displaying different phone functionality, such as playing an audio or video file.
Game Development with XNA Framework for Windows Phone – This lab introduces you to XNA game development on Windows Phones, as well as to the basics of XNA game development. During the lab you will build a simple XNA game application that introduces key concepts in XNA game development and learn how to use Microsoft Visual 2010 Express for Windows Phone to build and design your XNA games for Windows Phones
Feedback about the training kit is welcome @ email@example.com.
Good luck and most importantly, have fun!
Will surely have fun!
Thank you for making it easier for us mobile developers to build new applications. Soon my technical expertise won't be needed anymore, haha. Just kidding!
Good information though, i have passed this on to our brand new mobile developer.
It seems the downloadable copy does not contain the refresh (I mean, it does not contain the new Push Notification Lab).
Javier Andrés Cáceres Alvis
MVP - Windows Mobile
Really great way to get started, I have began to officially write an app after only a week, good job guys.
nice blog with good detailed info about the training kit . keep posting new blogs buddy

Here we go again! Another shooting on a military base.
All state side military bases are "Gun Free Zones" except for law enforcement and a very few duty locations. That means almost all are unable to defend themselves when someone starts shooting. All the military members are is uniformed targets.
The weapons in the Army are stored in two parts under separate locks with ammunition in a separate location. So Soldiers would have a very hard time to have weapons issued and draw ammunition in a timely manner when a shooting occurs.
I don't know how the Marines store their weapons.
I do know that most Airman and Sailors are not weapons qualified if they are not law enforcement or security.
In the Air Force I qualified with the M-16 in Basic in 1971. I never touched the M-16 again until the Spring of 1980 prior to going to West Germany that Summer.
There is a call to allow military members who have completed a concealed carry course to carry civilian weapons on base. I think this is a good idea. I also think it won't go anywhere with Barry in the White House.
I have heard that these types of shooting do not happen in combat zones where everyone is carrying weapons and ammunition. When I was in Iraq, I was required to carry my M-16 and at least one 30 round magazine on Post. The weapon was not to be loaded. The only exception was when in PTs doing PT. Trust me, it wouldn't take me long to lock and load. I had to do it once on base. That was Easter Sunday, 2004.
It is a bit strange at first to go to the BX and see every shopper armed. I have no doubt that no one was going to rob the store! Nor would a homicidal shooter lasted very long.
This is more proof that "Gun Free Zones" only invite homicidal shooters to have target practice on innocents.

Post-COVID, after three years of not traveling internationally, I took a short five day trip to the Mexican Riviera for a dear friend’s wedding and to exhale from the rigors of live. The City of Playa del Carmen is magical and deeply connected to its Mayan roots. The locals are beyond inviting, kind, and extremely helpful.
I stayed at the Serenity Hotel Boutique close to the town center and nice beaches.
I think taking a moment to connect with the ocean, centering one’s self, and simply inhaling/exhaling deep breaths is the best elixir for a full life. It’s paramount to take time to relax and exhale.
So, pack a few stylish looks, swimsuits, sunglasses, sunscreen, and hop on a flight to your favorite island or coastal city around the the world or maybe its a short drive for you, take full advantage of it. Why wait for a special occasion or retirement or all the excuses we make not to live our best lives, if not now, when.

The empowered group of ministers (EGoM) on telecom on Monday approved a uniform spectrum usage charge (SUC) of 5% of an operatorís adjusted gross revenues on all new airwaves bought at an auction. Incumbent operators like Bharti Airtel and Vodafone will now have to pay a charge that is the weighted average of 6% on existing spectrum of 10 MHz and 5% on new spectrum.
The decision, which now needs to be ratified by the Union Cabinet, has resolved the uncertainty around the auctions, which begin on February 3. However, the efficacy of the new formula will be proved only once the department of telecommunications (DoT) puts in place a system that can segregate revenues from broadband wireless access (BWA) services spectrum and 2G airwaves.
The decision is broadly revenue-neutral for operators as well as the government. A Bharti Airtel or a Vodafone will pay a charge that is the weighted average of the current charge on existing spectrum and 5% on any new spectrum. Their levy would come down to 5.6% in a circle like Delhi where they hold 10 MHz spectrum from 6% currently.
While a new operator must pay an SUC of 5% against the current 3%, the charge will not go up as it buys more spectrum in future.
The government currently earns a pan-India average SUC of 4.8%. With the charge now at 5%, there will be no adverse impact on revenues.
The EGoM decided to continue with an SUC of 1% for BWA spectrum since it did not want to violate the governmentís contractual obligation as per the bid conditions of 2010. However, BWA operators like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel will have to pay an SUC of 5% for the new airwaves they acquire and will need to report separately the revenues earned from BWA airwaves and new spectrum.
According to sector analysts, segregation of revenues could be difficult, leaving those operators that own both spectrum bands with room for arbitrage. The problem arises because today there are smartphones that can work across both the bands. A similar issue had cropped up before the DoT in 2008 while deciding the SUC for 3G spectrum; an internal panel then had ruled that segregation of revenues between 2G and 3G services is not possible because of similar inter-working of phones and SIM cards across the two technologies. The only possible solution to check such inter-working is to lay

Interpretive Summary: For more effective manipulation of the plant reproductive system, including cotton, information about genes governing gametophyte (pollen or egg) development along with their genetic map relations and chromosomal locations are needed. We have combined the power of haploid analysis with the advance technique of confocal laser scanning microscopy to identify and understand the genetic mechanism of pollen development in cotton. Cytogenetic-deficient stocks of cotton were used to locate genes for cotton pollen development to chromosomes and chromosome arms. Pollen of the two tetraploid species were found to be morphologically distinct as pollen size and spine pattern were significantly different between TM1 (Gossypium hirsutum) and Pima 3-79 (G. barbadense). Gene(s) responsible for pollen spine development were located on the long arm of chromosome 12. Pollen size and spine formation must be, at least, partially controlled by the gametophyte generation since these morphological characters segregated during pollen grain development. There is no report of chromosomal location gametophytic - specific gene(s) in cotton. Knowledge, similar to our results, regarding pollen development should augment our ability to cytogenetically and genetically manipulate the cotton genome for both basic, scientific and applied purposes.
Technical Abstract: Genetic manipulation of plant reproduction is limited by the lack of knowledge of genes controlling gametophyte development. A study was made on the differential effects of specific chromosomal deficiencies on the morphology of mature cotton pollen. Pollen of the two tetraploid species (G. hirsutum L. and G. barbadense L.) was found to be morphologically distinct. Confocal microscopy was used to construct a three dimensional image of the fluorochrome-stained pollen grains. Cytogenetic-deficient stocks of cotton were used for locating genes for pollen development to chromosomes and chromosome arms, respectively. Results indicated that the pollen size and spine pattern were significantly different between TM1 (G. hirsutum) and Pima 3-79 (G. barbadense). Comparative analysis of pollen morphology of parental and interspecific hybrid, monosomic and monotelodisomic plants indicated that gene(s) responsible for pollen spine development were located on the long arm of chromosome 12. The segregating nature of pollen morphological features indicated that the gametophytic gene(s) of the microscope partially controlled the pollen size and spine formation during pollen grain development.

These quotes are all you need to convince yourself to pour another.
To quote Frank Sinatra, “Alcohol may be man’s worst enemy, but the Bible says love your enemy.”
Because isn’t booze wonderful? And shouldn’t there be a list of the best drinking quotes you can read when you’re feeling way too good about a fun night out.
Aren’t there just moments when, more than anything else, you could really go for a good, stiff drink? (Like, perhaps, right now.) But do you really want the hassle of dealing with craft cocktails? Can you really tell the difference between artisan, conflict-free, 12-year-aged speakeasy gin and the stuff in the plastic bottle that you used to swipe out of your parents’ liquor cabinet? (The correct answer, hipsters, is NO.)
Sometimes the best thing about drinking is how quickly you can make the drink.
Jennifer McCartney shares our affection for the simpler drinks of life, which is why we love her book Cocktails for Drinkers: Not Even Remotely Artisanal, Three Ingredient or Less Cocktails That Get to the Point. It collects recipes for easy, essential cocktails that only involve a bare minimum of ingredients and don’t require any bar hardware or a mixology degree (whatever that is.) If you want a Moscow Mule or Whiskey Sour and you want it to taste amazing, but you want it FAST and unpretentious, this is the book for you.
Beyond the recipes, McCartney has also assembled a killer series of drinking quotes and quotes about drinking, all from famous boozehounds that remind us why drinking can be such an awesome way to pass the time.
Having trouble in your relationship? Had a hard day at work? More often than not, a good, solid drink can make everything better. (Or if not, it can at least make you forget for a while.)
If you’re struggling with your desire for a mid-day martini, bask in the wisdom of these wise, well-lubricated luminaries — some of history’s greatest drinkers — and let them remind you why we drink.

I apologise for the length of this post in advance. But it is a subject that riles me so much that I find it difficult to be too precise.
I cannot agree that there is an instinctive sadistic urge in us all.
I do agree that there are many people who have a distorted perception of the world. Their inability to empathise or, at the very least, sympathise with differing human conditions still manages to shock me to the core.
I see bullying in my workplace. Children on children, adults on adults, adults on children.
Thankfully, among the adults it is more rare. You expect ‘grown-ups’ to know better. Although that is not always the case.
I always, without exception, act on bullying that I am made aware of. And try to put preventative measures in place even where no bullying,apparently,exists.
Teaching young people to ‘walk in another’s shoes’ is one of the most valuable lessons I can give the children in my care.
I have questioned the need that some people seem to have for bullying another and, over the years, I have come to one or two conclusions.
Firstly, let me say, it is never acceptable. Never.
However, understanding motives behind actions does help to go some way in being able to effectively redress those actions.
In many cases, those bullied have been victims themselves, not necessarily in the same environment in which they perpetrate their crime.
Disclosure of facts by children and other bodies leads me to believe that many children are bullied at home. Sometimes by other siblings, sometimes by parents. Strict authoritarian rule, without the ability to negotiate anything and absolute adherence to the rules regardless of how ill-conceived they may be, can lead to rebellion. If unable to express it at home, it can become manifest in other areas of life.
The desire to exert control or power over someone else, when you have none yourself, is strong.
Seeing one parent bullying another is also too often the scenario children bear witness to on a day to day basis.
I have first-hand dealings with children whose inability to control temper is beyond description here. In most cases, it has eventually been revealed that their own home life experiences are a replica. They know no better example.
There are then children who ‘rule the roost’ at home. In these cases it is too little parental authority that is the root of the problem. They are given license to be as obnoxious as they wish. It is not what they need. It is not even what they want. They need boundaries. These children want boundaries to show that someone cares enough to exert them. There is, sometimes, on the part of a parent, the desire to instil so much confidence in their children, that they forget a couple of other life lessons. Like how to treat other people.
It’s a tough job but parents have got to do it.
I have heard, more times than I care to think about, vitriolic comments that do not come from the school environment. These children are being taught, systematically or accidentally, to hate and ridicule in the same ignorant fashion as their parents. Football teams, religion and colour are usually high on the agenda.
Yes, and maybe- just maybe- there are some who are plain bad. I, personally, do not accept this as a generality. Dig deep enough and you will find the reasons.
Unfortunately, this all seems like little help to anyone being bullied. What does understanding motive have to do with dealing with the problem? How can knowing the possible or probable whys help with the very pressing hows? How to stop it? How to prevent it?
I am no expert on this subject. And there are behavioural psychologists out there who will have better advice to give on the subject of the whys and the hows.
I deal with children every day. I have taught for over thirty years. I have seven children of my own. One or two of them have been bullied at some point. I have been bullied in my life.
My advice to stop someone bullying you?
First, accept that this is not your fault. That’s right.
You do not deserve this.
You have not done anything to warrant being bullied.
Not your ears, not your eyes, not your nose, not your glasses, not your skin colour, not your religion, not your sexuality, not your geekiness, not your introversion, not your weight, not your intelligence, not your clothes, not because you play chess.
You do not deserve to be bullied.
So get that in your head, first of all. Bullying is not on.
Secondly, recognise, and I mean really recognise, that the bully is the one with the true problem here. True, as in psychologically disturbed.
Perceiving the world as they do is not considered normal by many, many people.
Now, how do you get them to stop?
Well, once you’ve acknowledged the first two and accepted them as fact, do this.
Lift your head up. Square your shoulders. Look straight ahead. Practise this first in front of a mirror, by all means. Now say,
‘I am God’s creation. Creation is beautiful. God does not make rubbish. I am His beautiful creation.’
And do you know what? You are. Whether you believe this or not. You absolutely are. Say it enough times. And stop criticising your own nose/spots/glasses/hair/weight/height/colour/whatever.
I really mean that. Stop it! And stop it now.
Walking about dejectedly, feeling ugly, not loving yourself can make you a target. You’re vulnerable.
What do bullies do? They pick on the most vulnerable. Or, at least, who they perceive to be vulnerable. Don’t make yourself a bullseye.
Now this is not a criticism of people who are bullied. It is merely an acknowledgement that those most likely to be bullied are those who appear to be the most vulnerable. Easy pickings, they think. A lot of bullies are cowards. They don’t want the challenge.
Paedophiles, questioned on how they picked their victims, responded that they could spot a target in a crowded room. Body language speaks volumes.
Get your head back up. You are not that person.
You are God’s beautiful creation. What are you?
‘I am God’s beautiful creation.’
Now shout it out loudly, somewhere, anywhere.
‘I AM GOD’S BEAUTIFUL CREATION!’
Belt it out!
Now some practical tips.
If someone says something to you, turn it back on them as a question.
It doesn’t have to be smart or witty or even sensible. It helps. But it doesn’t have to be.
Bully: Does your mother let you walk about looking like that?
You: Do you want to ask her yourself?
Bully: Are you trying to be funny?
You: Is it working?
Bully: I’ll waste you.
You: Would you like me to give you something else to waste?
Now, as I said, it doesn’t have to be smart or witty or even sensible. Just answer back with a question.
A question turns the tables and often leaves the bully too perturbed to know what exactly to do next.
And sometimes, the bully may come at you, fists flying.
My advice? Go mental back at them. You might not win this time but they will think again before tackling you if you have given as good as you got.
As a rule, I do not, absolutely do not, advocate violence. But. And, it’s a big but, sometimes it is your only tool.
All of the above can work for adults as well as for children.
Think about it.
You are in your workplace and someone – boss/colleague/bully is about to give you a hard time. Ask a question.
Boss: Have you finished that report yet?
You: Was it urgent?
Boss: Duhh, I needed it yesterday.
You: Would you like me to get on to it straight away or stay at this meeting?
Boss: Well, I need you here. So it will have to wait.
You: So, it’s not that urgent?
Have a retort ready. Anything.
When one of my children was being bullied I did not know. After I found out, I was devastated to think I had so badly misjudged his poor behaviour at home. I accused him of having no patience/control of his temper/consideration for others.
When I found out, through my daughter, that he was being bullied, my reaction was typical of most mothers.
I wanted to go up to that school and rip the neck off of the child/ren that was the source of my son’s unhappiness.
How dare they? How absolutely-fucking-dare they?
I’ll eat them alive.
You know? A measured approach.
I would have lost my job/been arrested/restrained in a white jacket.
After all, I was the adult.
So, what did I do?
I asked questions.
I got the whole story.
I read up on bullying.
I studied it.
Obviously, this is the responsible human equivalent of ripping someone’s neck out.
I put my son through a course on bullying.
We practised retorts and comebacks.
Sometimes, I was the bully and he had to give the retorts. Sometimes, he was the bully and I got to think up all the fabulous things I would say.
My daughter joined in.
She said she actually like when people came onto her because she never knew what she was going to say until she opened her mouth and was invariably delighted at her sarcastic wit. (She always has had a smart mouth on her.)
I am not trying to be flippant on a subject that is capable of making me imagine violence.
I have read posts on this site, too many posts, where young adults and older adults alike, suffer at the hands of people who amuse themselves with exerting power over others.
This subject gets to me in a way that a few others do. I imagine violence. Then I try to think smart.
Bullying is never, ever, ever acceptable.
Bullying is a way some people try to control their environment or people within it.
It affects children and adults.
We can choose how we react to their behaviour.
I choose never to accept it. I choose to always fight it with whatever means are at my disposal. I choose to bleed sometimes. I choose not to be a victim.
What do you choose?
And what are you going to do about it?

For those who are in the mood for a challenge, the Skyline Trail in Rainier will not disappoint. Starting in the town of Paradise, the trail leads to Mount Rainier and the Nisqually Glacier. You are almost surrounded by Mount Rainier as you walk through the trail. Once you reach the trail’s top, there is a small viewing area. You can reapply your sunscreen if you feel the need.
The trail is relatively easy to navigate and has well-marked signage. There are toilets in the visitor center and at Panorama Point. It is a steep trail and there are some rocks scattered throughout, but it is well maintained. Be prepared for the fact that the trail is not completely paved and you may encounter snow in July and August.
After the ascent, you can take a break at Panorama Point for a view of the valley below. The trail is 1.7 miles long and takes about an hour. During the day, it is more crowded as you pass the popular Paradise parking area. However, if you are not looking for a challenging hike, there is also a loop where you can hike in either direction.
If you haven’t climbed Mount Rainier before, the Skyline Trail is the best way to see the mountain up close. You will be surrounded by beautiful wildflowers and amazing views of the Cascade Mountain range. On a clear day, you can see Mount Adams, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Hood.
If you’re planning a trip to Mount Rainier National Park, don’t miss the opportunity to see Silver Falls. This waterfall, located on the Ohanapecosh River, plunges 95 feet into a narrow canyon. To reach Silver Falls, you can take a loop track with an elevation gain of 350 metres.
The trail is not too long and leads to a beautiful waterfall. The waterfall is surrounded by moss-covered rocks. The best time to visit Silver Falls is between May and September. You can even see some wildlife here! A 1.1-mile hike is all it takes to reach the falls.
Silver Falls is an accessible waterfall in Mount Rainier National Park, with multiple views of the cascade. There are a few different viewpoints where you can admire the waterfall, which is located on the rocky Ohanapecosh River. You can access the waterfall by foot, or by car. The trail is easy to follow and follows the Ohanapecosh River, making it easy to access and see the waterfall. During springtime, the water thunders down and creates a mist over the trail.
Silver Falls is a popular destination for hikers, so you can’t miss the opportunity to experience it. The trail is short and easy to navigate, and is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It also provides breathtaking views of Silver Falls. The loop trail is a great choice for families with children. It’s less than 4 miles long and has a moderate elevation gain, making it perfect for families and groups.
For a great waterfall experience, make sure to visit Christine Falls, located in Mt. Rainier National Park. This waterfall features a 69-foot drop. It is situated off the main road in the park and requires a short walk. Once you reach the bottom, you can view the upper tier of the waterfall from a stone bridge.
The upper falls are visible from the road and can quickly gather a crowd. You can also view the lower falls, which are just across the highway. To get a better view of the lower falls, you’ll need to follow a steep stone staircase that leads to the lower falls. The bridge that spans the creek also frames the waterfall.
There are several hiking trails at Christine Falls. The Skyline Trail is a popular one. Though the trail is steep, it is mostly paved and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The trail is 5.4 miles round trip and has about 1,700 feet of elevation gain. It’s an unforgettable hike and one of the things to do in Rainier.
Located on the south side of Mount Rainier, Christine Falls is accessible and offers a scenic overlook. There are parking areas on either side of the bridge, with the closest ones located on the east side. Follow the short trail that will lead you to a magical viewpoint at the base of the waterfall.
Pinnacle Peak, also known as Mount Peak, is a 1,801-foot forest-covered summit in the Cascade Range. It’s situated about 25 miles northwest of Mount Rainier in the North Cascades National Park. This is an excellent place for hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities.
This hike is just over two miles round-trip, and has a moderate amount of elevation gain. The trail begins near Reflection Lakes and takes hikers through traditional pacific northwest forest before ending in an open alpine boulder field and switchbacks. The hikers are rewarded with panoramic views of Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, and Mount St. Helens. Aside from the trail, you can also hike off-trail to Pinnacle Peak.
While there is no official name for the peak, it was first called Mount Pete, for Pete Chorak, a pioneering Enumclaw settler who named it. However, it became mispronounced as “Peak” and attracted followers. The peak’s summit has a former fire lookout that is now a park trailhead. In addition, a trail named Cal Magnusson Trail is named after a long-time Cascade mountaineer. Cal Magnusson was a trail manager for REI for 25 years and was a great friend to mountaineers.
The hike to Pinnacle Peak takes about 1.5 hours. The scenery on this short hike is spectacular, and it’s relatively quiet compared to other hikes in the Paradise area.
Grove of the Patriarchs
The Grove of the Patriarchs is a beautiful 1.5-mile-roundtrip loop through a grove of ancient trees. The trees, known as “patriarchs,” are over three and four stories tall. Visitors can take a picnic lunch and take in the beautiful scenery as they stroll.
This unique grove is made up of massive trees, like Douglas fir, cedar, and hemlock. It’s a short, easy hike, perfect for the whole family. There are trees as tall as 200 feet, and many of them are over 50 feet in circumference.
The Grove of the Patriarchs is one of the most popular hikes in Mount Rainier National Park. It starts at a suspension bridge, crosses the Ohanapecosh River, and then begins to loop around an island. Once you reach the island, you’ll follow a path through the forest to a boardwalk. You’ll be surrounded by Douglas fir, Western hemlock, and red cedar trees. There are plenty of signs along the way to help you navigate the trail safely.
You can access the Grove of the Patriarchs from the parking lot at Stevens Canyon Entrance. It’s an out-and-back trail that is about a mile and a half in length. There are sections where you can cross the river, and a bridge that’s wobbly is one of the most exciting parts of the hike.
Reflection Lakes in Rainier are a great spot to view wildflowers during their blooming season. You can get there by following the Mazama Ridge Loop trail, which begins at the east entrance of the park. The trailhead is two miles from Paradise Road East.
The reflections on the lakes are clearer during the summer months when the sun reflects less on the water. In winter, the lakes are covered with snow. If you visit during this season, you should bring plenty of warm clothes and plan to visit the area multiple times. This way, you can get the best photos of the lake’s reflections.
Reflection Lakes is a scenic location for viewing Mount Rainier. A road leads to the lake, but hiking is preferred. You can also access the lake via a trail off Stevens Canyons Road. Reflection Lakes is best viewed during clear evenings. Astrophotography enthusiasts will enjoy the reflections of stars in the water.
Reflection Lakes is an easy-access destination in Mount Rainier National Park. You’ll find it just a few miles from the Paradise turnoff on Stevens Canyon Rd. The area is a favorite with photographers. It offers stunning views of the surrounding mountain peaks and is perfect for sunrise and sunset photography.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA has turned historic Pad 39A, site of launches from Apollo through the end of the space shuttle program, over to private company SpaceX to begin a new era of launches.
The space agency signed a 20-year use agreement Monday allowing the Hawthorne, Calif., company to occupy and use the complex on Florida's east coast. SpaceX will operate and maintain the pad facility at its own expense.
"While SpaceX will use pad 39A at Kennedy, about a mile away on pad 39B, we're preparing for our deep space missions to an asteroid and eventually Mars," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a statement. "The parallel pads at Kennedy perfectly exemplify NASA's parallel path for human spaceflight exploration -- U.S. commercial companies providing access to low-Earth orbit and NASA deep space exploration missions at the same time."
"SpaceX is the world's fastest growing launch services provider," said Gwynne Shotwell, President and COO of SpaceX. "With nearly 50 missions on manifest, SpaceX will maximize the use of pad 39A to the benefit of both the commercial launch industry as well as the American taxpayer."
Pad 39A was first used to launch Apollo 4 on Nov. 9, 1967 and is where Apollo 11 lifted off on the first manned moon landing in 1969. It was lasted used on July 11, 2011 for STS-135, the final space shuttle flight.

Seven flashes of light, then raindrops start
falling, one, two, followed by a curtain
dragging its damp dishcloth wetness over
windows, walls. It pocks the river’s troubled
face. Rising waters surpass all levels
from former floods. Water pours into homes,
floods basements, climbs stairs. Drowned branches scratch at
second floor windows as they float by. Old
people evacuate their houses, are
boated to higher ground, beloved pets
upon their laps, boxed and caged. Men wonder
when this will end while older people shake
their heads, saying that they have never seen
anything like it. Overhead the storm
gathers strength. Rain tumbles, bubbling in
brooks that slide downhill filling the river.
Grand Lake now extends from Freddy to Saint
John. Why has it come to this? What can we
do to appease the mindless river gods,
fall on our knees and pray, if so, for what?
Last year we suffered drought, forest fires,
wells running dry, wild life dying of thirst.
This year it is death by inundation.
Rain continues. Thunder rolls. The wind gets
up and drives waves high against house windows.
Lightning carves fresh scars across dark clouds.
We shuffle our feet, accepting our fate
with grimaces, hugs, kisses, and sad smiles.

SAP Inside Track Hamburg (sitHH) – My Impressions
This will be a short recap of my impression of sitHH.
But before I start some words about myself.
Please don’t wonder about my member date.
This is in reaction of Oliver Kohls advice: “Do not use your S-User ID in SCN. Create your own P-User.” ℹ
Therefore I am now a member since 2015 and not since more than 10 years with my different S-User 😕 .
And another topic. As this is my first blog, please be considerate if I will make a few mistakes.
Okay, now let’s start.
First and foremost I will give a great thank to our organizer team Melanie Schlemper, Mark Teichmann and Peter Langner and all of the other people in the back which made this event possible and so successfully.
As I’m didn’t joined any pre-conferences on Friday like SAP CodeJam and ADverntas CodeJam, I only will mention this sessions.
For myself, sitHH starts at Friday evening with the “pre-conference meet-up” at brewhouse Altes Mädchen joining roundabout 20 partiticants of sitHH. This was a great evening and I will not go into details following SAP TechEd: “What’s in sitHH will stay in sitHH”.
The event itself was hold on Saturday, 27.06.2015 at a wonderful place called 25hoursHotel and was hosted by Melanie Schlemper, Mark Teichmann and Peter Langner who opened the track with a short welcome with around 60 to 70 participants.
First session was about an introduction of functional programming (FP) by Fred Verheul.
He gave us a short introduction with code examples to get an understanding what FP is about.
Especially for me as an non-developer it was quite interesting to see what’s possible, when parallel processing is needed and there was a lively discussion about it.
This concept will get more important due to massive parallelisation especially in the HANA context.
Next session was by Thorsten Franz about an end-to-end process from an Internet website to an ABAP backend via HANA Cloud Platform (HCP).
Unfortunately he couldn’t get a connection to the HCP so he had to switch back to flipchart presentation to demonstrate how the architecture from HCP to the ABAP backend via HANA Cloud Connector and Gateway connection looked like.
The next tracks were split up into two parallel sessions and I only look after my sessions. If there will be more recaps I will link them so that everyone can get a complete picture of sitHH.
So I decided to join Jitendra Kansal talking about Integration Gateway into SAP Mobile Platform SMP 3.0
He gave us an overview about the integrated gateway, how to setup and customize it on the SMP.
Next session was about Open UI5 in customer Extensions by Karol Kalisz.
Karol first gave us a broader look to the SAP Buiness Design Studio which is used for working on the design and coding for UI elements. Then he used this tool for doing extensions on UI5 elements via Design Studio.
The gateway session was followed by Visualization of Data and Information by Vitaliy Rudnytskly. (sorry Vitaliy, didn’t had made any picture with you).
Vitaliy gave us in his presentation a historical overview of visualization how different types of visualization were used in ancent times.
Unfurtunaltely I didn’t made any pictures of it and Vitaliy will not publish his presentation due to legal rights of the pictures he used (but definitely it’s a must to hear his journey through the time of visualization).
At the end we got a demo by Jonas Volger how his company uses visualization for data presentation.
When we had a special session about Talking to HANA by Ernst Maracke.
Ernst showed us a HANA System doing it’s tasks by receiving speech, commands in complete sentences: “What are the results of the revenues 2012?“. And the results were given also as spoken words: “The revenues are 9 Million 204 thousand and 612 Dollar!“. (Ernst, don’t please blame me for the qoutes, they are not completly correct, but I didn’t wrote them down)
In the last session we all came back together to join Oliver Kohl presenting an update of the new SCN Transition Phase.
He gaves us some insights, how the new SCN will look like, what are the technics behind it and how he and his international team are working on it to get new SCN live this year.
The track ended with a nice “post-conference meeting”.
Details and download links ot the presentations will be found on sitHH.de.
Overall it was a really great event and I will definitely joining again next year (or please try out some other upcoming SAP Inside Tracks).

by Karen Hanson, VACA EditorShow me the money. Ok, I didn’t ask the question quite like that, I asked, “What are your sources for financing?” when I sat down to lunch with Steve Burton the other day. Burton is a wiry little easy going guy that you would never expect to swim with the sharks. Looks are often deceiving. Burton received his Ph.D. in Psychology, served on the medical staff at a downtown Chicago Medical University, made millions by developing one of the first digital healthcare diagnostic systems for sleep studies, and when the Skate Nation ice skating rinks went bankrupt, he and a few local partners bought them and restored them to a healthy, profitable business. He also started Virginia Speedskating and the Richmond-based short track speed skating team is the reigning two-time National Champion. He regularly houses Olympic and National caliber athletes in his home and has some very innovative funding programs that include Bingo to raise funds to support them. This is a man who is passionate about sports and what they can do for youth and families.
Still, it was a surprise when Burton, SportsQuest’s CEO, started rattling off exactly where the financing for this very ambitious project is coming from. For me, it was a jaw dropping moment. Usually when I hear people talk about projects like a velodrome it’s a pie-in-the-sky idea. Then, at the end of the spiel is a wishy-washy statement of grants to be sought for government funding.
There are no government funds for velodromes. In the recent past, there may have been funds for golf courses, but not for cycling related infrastructure.
A velodrome in and of itself is probably not a sound investment anyway. When you look at the one at Trexlertown and the fact that it is and has been in the red for years, there is not much incentive for people to go in that direction. Steve was very up front that the 15-25 people who showed up at the weekly track racing at Southside Speedway this summer would not be adequate to fund a velodrome.
Burton, however, is not building just a velodrome. He is building a “Sports Mecca.” Mecca has a name - SportsQuest. SportsQuest isn’t just a velodrome, it’s a campus that will incorporate 27 sports and its center is laid out something like the National Mall.
SportsQuest is a great platform for cycling development. We all know that most people never start serious cycling until they are adults – it’s hard to convince mom and dad that it’s safe out there on the road with the dump trucks. However, SportsQuest cycling is safely harbored within its 250 acre campus and there’s all kinds of cycling. First, there is a 250 meter, concrete velodrome. And there is a 5k cyclocross/cross country course that passes in front of a 2,500 seat amphitheater. And a 1k criterium course with lights that has the ability to be optionally routed onto the velodrome. Now that will make for some interesting rides.
The venue is not just for cycling. Steve sees SportsQuest as a “sports and family entertainment” destination. In addition to cycling the campus includes a family entertainment center with bowling, laser tag, arcades, etc. There will be a state of the art fitness center, Olympic caliber 50-meter pool with a 25-meter warm up pool and grandstand that seats 1,200. There is also a multi-sport arena that seats 2,500 and over 25 full-size athletic fields for football, soccer, lacrosse – you get the idea. It is the synthesis of all of the parts of the facility that make the individual parts possible.
The cool part is that your membership allows you access to all of the campus facilities during the public times. Join for the cycling races and bring your family for ice skating or bowling on the weekend for free.
Burton has a novel approach to the facility. He is going to sell sliding scale individual and family memberships like a club. Affordable “fan memberships”- someone who wants to come watch top level amateur competitions like Olympic Trials and National Championships or minor league sports – SportsQuest has already bought an indoor football team and are planning five other pro sports teams on the campus.
Or perhaps you’d rather have a “player membership” for recreational league play, youth development teams, and on up to a high performance program for which the athlete will have to qualify. The sliding scale is estimated to range from $20-$200 per month. The cool part is that your membership allows you access to all of the campus facilities during the public times. Join for the cycling races and bring your family for ice skating or bowling on the weekend for free.
All of this will require top name coaches and staff to bring people in which will bring employment opportunities for star athletes in retirement. “Connecting our Olympic athletes to the youth development programs is part of the appeal for our campus experience,” Burton says. The requests for employment and athletic training are already pouring into his email box every day.
Adding to the “everything in one place” philosophy, the plans include the essentials: sports medicine center, cafeterias, pro shops and other retail, restaurants, athlete housing, hotel, office space, etc. The entire campus will also have wi-fi access.
Burton says that the cycling components are among the easiest to construct and that the cycling venues should be completed early. Construction on the other more complex buildings and venues may prevent early access, however. Plans are to continue track racing in the spring at the Southside Speedway until the velodrome is safely accessible.
Ground breaking starts December 15, 2009 – where do I sign up?

NBC Boss: Jimmy Fallon Doesn't Have a Drinking Problem, He Just Has Fun
The late-night host has famously suffered injuries after nights out.
"He doesn't have a drinking problem”— those are the final words in response to speculation that late night TV host Jimmy Fallon has an issue with alcohol, according to the funny man's boss at NBC.
NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblat told reporters that the comedian's drinking is under control, saying: "He goes out and has fun and he's had some accidents."
"We are always worried about his safety and health and yeah, there's been conversations about that," he said on Wednesday.
Fallon’s drinking has reportedly been a cause for concern for some at The Tonight Show after a series of bizarre accidents halted production of the show.
The fun-loving host makes no bones about his fondness for booze, as drinking games are a regular feature on his show, Greenblat stuck by Fallon.
"He doesn't have a drinking problem that any of us know about," Greenblat said.

|Abstract: ||Absolute and convective instabilities in a non-local model that arises in the analysis of thin-film flows over flat or corrugated walls in the presence of an applied electric field are discussed. Electrified liquid films arise, for example, in coating processes where liquid films are deposited onto a target surfaces with a view to producing an evenly coating layer. In practice, the target surface, or substrate, may be irregular in shape and feature corrugations or indentations. This may lead to non-uniformities in the thickness of the coating layer. Attempts to mitigate film-surface irregularities can be made using, for example, electric fields. We analyse the stability of such thin-film flows and show that if the amplitude of the wall corrugations and/or the strength of the applied electric field is increased the convectively unstable flow undergoes a transition to an absolutely unstable flow|

EducationBS in engineering 3.9 GPA
MS from University of Florida 3.87 GPA
Awarded a Outstanding Graduate Student of the Year 2015 at UF
Several Honor society awards during my school
Excellent GMAT scores.
ExperienceCommon Questions Students Ask Me:
Could I avoid retaking this class if you tutor me? Yes.
Could you help me improve my grade by 2, 3, or 4 grade levels? Yes.
Could you help me get extra testing time? Yes.
Could we partner on my class projects and take-home materials? Yes.
Have you tutored International students? Yes
Could you tutor me during the day or weekends? Yes.
When are you available to start tutoring? Immediately.
How do you tutor? In-person and online.
Why I Am Committed:
I want you to succeed at your class projects, quizzes, and exams.
I want you to earn your degree so that you can take your life and career to the next level.
I want you to achieve your dreams.
I never quite know what to put in these sections. I guess I've never been too keen on selling myself. But here goes:
When it comes to tutoring, I prefer to guide the student to the answer rather than telling him or her. This is especially important when it comes to mathematics. If someone is teaching your child that Mathematics is a set of procedures (when "x" is on this side, you do so and so), they are doing your child a great disservice.
Mathematics is supposed to teach logic and reasoning. So the important factor is not the procedure, but rather the thought process leading to the procedure. Therein lies the true beauty in Mathematics. Being able to reason within certain guidelines; to be able to achieve a goal, given a set of rules that must be followed.
So when they ask you to solve for "x", they're not testing to see whether you can follow directions: that's a skill better taught in "home ec". It's supposed to give one experience with reasoning within the rules (of Algebra, in this case).
This same reasoning applies to all levels of Mathematics: it's all just puzzles, so let's have fun with it!
My students vary from middle grade kids to graduate students. I have also taught SAT math, GRE math and GMAT math privately.
HobbiesI am adventurous and love all kinds of sports. I have friends from all over the world and i love learning from them about different cultures. I love watching movies and have fun.

Food & Drink Italian Rosemary Buns for a Sticky-Sweet Easter Treat
Our Best Easter Recipes for 2022
Grab your Easter basket and hop on—you'll want to collect each and every one of these fun and easy Easter recipes.Oh, and one other thing: Our favorite Easter recipes will set you up to celebrate the arrival of spring in style. And by style, we do mean equipped with the prettiest Easter eggs on the block. So, get that egg hunt on the calendar, stat.
The Perfect Loaf is a column from software engineer-turned-bread expert (and Food52's Resident Bread Baker), Maurizio Leo. Maurizio is here to show us all things naturally leavened, enriched, yeast-risen, you name it—basically, every vehicle to slather on a lot of butter. Today, pan di ramerino, an Italian Easter-time sweet bun.
Pan di ramerino, or rosemary bread—a sticky and sweet little bun studded with raisins—is a traditional Easter-time treat commonly found in Tuscany, in the central part of Italy. They’re remarkable because they have an uncommon ingredient woven into an enriched dough: rosemary. While we often think of the woodsy, piney herb as a savory-only affair, it sometimes finds its way into the sweeter side of things. With these sweet buns, rosemary brings a gentle backdrop of savoriness that is unique, and its flavor is the highlight of these sticky and soft buns.
29 Leftover Ham Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner
November may be the time for turkey—but the second December and April roll around, 'tis the season for ham. Be it super-simply roasted with spices and brown sugar or baked spiral-style with apricot jam and mustard, there are very few main dishes that stand out on the dinner table like a glazed and glistening ham. But with every show-stopping ham comes a lot of leftover meat. And delicious though it may be to munch on a couple slices cold, straight from the fridge (a thing we have all done many times), why not repurpose the ham in one of these tasty recipes? From comfort foods like grits and fried rice to egg-topped sweet potato and ham hash and ham-stuffed biscuits, here a
The dough for these buns can be made in a variety of ways with a variety of different enrichments, from milk to butter to extra-virgin olive oil, as I have done in my. All of these fats bring suppleness to the bun, and in my adaptation of this old-school pastry, I opt for a large quantity of only olive oil for extreme softness plus an added fruity and herbaceous flavor.
Let’s answer some pan di ramerino F.A.Qs. (I certainly wondered about them.)
Why add the olive oil after the initial dough-mixing?
When adding fat to dough it’s beneficial to hold back some, or all, during the initial dough mixing and strengthening. Fat—like butter, oil, or lard—impedes gluten formation due to the way it coats the proteins in flour (and their job is eventually to form gluten). By holding back some, or in this case all, of the fat in that first part, we give gluten a chance to develop and the dough to strengthen quickly and efficiently. This is why you’ll often see dough recipes instruct adding softened butter once the dough is strong enough to pass the “windowpane test.”
This Sweet Yeasted Bread Is Perfect for Easter Brunch
The Perfect Loaf is a column from software engineer turned bread expert (and Food52's Resident Bread Baker), Maurizio Leo. Maurizio is here to show us all things naturally leavened, enriched, yeast-risen, you name it—basically, anything you can slather a lot of butter on. Today, he tells us about naturally leavened mazanec, a Czech sweet bread. Many years ago I had the pleasure of traveling through Europe for work, with a multiweek stop in the Czech Republic. My hosts, knowing my appreciation for good food, took me to restaurants that catered to the locals and that were so small it felt like we were eating in their cousin’s kitchen.
These sweet buns call for a substantial amount of olive oil added to the dough, which helps make the buns bake off with a soft texture, but if the oil was added all from the start of mixing, it would take many, many minutes more to strengthen the dough sufficiently (and possibly never reach the desired gluten development).

Pan di ramerino are typically leavened with commercial yeast, but, as I’m wont to do, I created a sourdough version where the flavors of natural fermentation are mild, yet still wholly evident. The dough isn’t fermented overnight at cold temperature, as some sourdough bread might be, which leads to minimal acidity in the final bun. But! Even though the acidity is minimal, it still brings ample flavor complexity to the dough. It’s like adding a secret layer of zing to your baked goods, much like a skilled baker might use almond or vanilla extract to heighten the flavor interplay amongst the other ingredients.
Royal Family: Former royal chef reveals Kate Middleton's favourite dessert and the recipe used for the Queen
Turns out the Duchess of Cambridge is just like the rest of usBut what do the royal family feast on when they’re just eating like the rest of us? They must have some favourites? Thanks to former royal chef Darren McGrady, we know some of the finer details to the family’s regular menus.
So, since we’re using naturally leavened sourdough in this dough for rise and flavor, we need to first take a look at the other ingredients and how they might affect fermentation—the most important on the list: sugar.
Why so little sugar in the dough?
I’m not a big eater of sweets. Sure, I’ve been known to eat aor two on occasion, but for the most part, my baking recipes lean toward doughs with less sugar and little adornment at the end. However, when developing the recipe for these sweet buns, I started with the sugar a little on the high side at 15 percent to the total flour weight. For sourdough, that high sugar content directly translates to long fermentation times, as it impedes fermentation activity. Using instant yeast, especially an variety, which is specifically designed to thrive in high-sugar or salt environments, doesn’t have this problem—which is typically why you’ll see recipes for yeasted brioche or other bread and pastry call for a specific type of, often osmotolerant, yeast.
So what does this have to do with these little buns? When I had sugar at 15 percent to total flour, the total fermentation time required to properly ferment the dough was incredibly long, and in my cold, winter kitchen, it required an overnight bulk fermentation on the counter—far longer than I prefer to wait for buns. Further, after baking the buns, they tasted overwhelmingly sweet. While you might see instant yeasted recipes for these sweet buns have a higher sugar content, I find with sourdough, and its subtle acidic flavor built up during fermentation, all flavors are amplified (much like a gentle squeeze of lemon juice over many foods awakens the palate).
One Major Side Effect of Eating Ham
Ham is one of the most popular dishes enjoyed on Easter. But there is one major side effect of eating this protein that is less desirable.Whether cubed and added to a salad, thinly sliced for an omelet addition or enjoyed as the primary protein on your plate, ham in all forms will make the menu for many families. Ham contains valuable nutrients and can be a convenient protein; however, one major side effect of eating ham is water retention.
In the end, and through subsequent testing, dropping the sugar all the way down to 6 percent of the total flour in the recipe (that’s going from 60 grams of sugar all the way down to 27) yielded a more typical bulk fermentation time of 4 hours, plus a shorter final proof of 3 hours. Bonus: the flavor was spot on—buns that are a touch sweet, savory, and with a gentle pop from the acidity in the dough.
Wait—Are they hot cross buns?
While I admit these small, sticky buns do look somewhat similar to the crisscrossed Easter treat, these pan di ramerino couldn’t be more different, both in flavor and texture.have a completely are spicier, with nutmeg, cinnamon, and sometimes allspice. They’re typically softer, given the addition of butter and milk in the dough. While hot cross buns are of course sweet (especially with their simple syrup glaze), the flavor is where hot cross buns go left and pan di ramerino goes right. The fruity olive oil and piney rosemary notes in pan di ramerino puts them in a class of their own.
I hate raisins! Can I use another dried fruit in these buns?
Raisins are without a doubt the traditional fruit for these sweet buns, but I could see so many additions working very well with this dough. In taking cues from hot cross buns, try adding soaked and drained Zante currants, which are like mini-raisins after all. I could also see proper currants (the small black or red berry) working well in these buns, which would bring tartness and intensity not found in raisins. If adding proper currants, I’d likely half the amount added to the dough so as not to overwhelm. I’m also keen on trying these with dried and chopped apricots (a favorite dried fruit of mine) which go very well with rosemary and other herbs.What would serve with a warm batch of pan di ramerino? Let us know in the comments!

There's something about lowering the needle on a record player. Slip off the sleeve, set it on the platter, and admire the album art while your thoughts move round and around with the disc. Each listening session is an art form in itself, since the process has a way of motivating something in its audience.

Miami-based artist WHUT has a reputation for his sticker-collaged records, CDs, and his use of vinyl as the principal medium for his work. "My first pieces were all on vinyl and I loved the idea that you can take a record no one wants and bring it back to life," he said. So he teamed up with YO, Sweat, and other supporters of the scene like Gully Art and Clubflyers.com to curate the vinyl appreciation event.
This Friday, July 12, WHUT and more than 30 different artists have created original pieces on or using the light, durable plastic that's served as a medium to record our heartaches and happiness in melody.

Among those exhibiting are ATOMIK, Luis Berros, Trek6, Bad Panda, Chy Tea Shoulin, Ivan Roque, Kazilla, Reiner Gamboa, Lorie Setton and many more. Much like YOmiami's Average Joe events, all pieces are capped at $200 max, priced by the individual artists, with profits benefiting their makers and event costs. Sweat will be selling merch at the store and hand-crafted brews will be served, courtesy of MIA Brewing Co.
"Diana Contreras will be selling her FREE LAURYN HILL T-shirts. The artist will be using the vinyl record as their canvas. They all will bring their individual styles and concepts to the table, from traditional painting styles to graphic and graffiti art," WHUT said.

Days of Heaven
by Declan Lynch
No current Talk conversations about this book.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0717146375, Paperback)They were the best days of our lives. This is how so many of the Irish remember Italia 90 and all that came with it the atmosphere of wild celebration, the scenes of chaos, the fine madness. Declan Lynch recalls the great moments Packie's save and his leap into immortality; Pavarotti's ""Nessun Dorma"" and U2's ""Put 'Em Under Pressure""; Kevin Sheedy's sweet strike; and all that drinking. Days of Heaven is full of hilarious accounts of how the Irish abandoned reality in that glorious time called Italia 90. But it wasn't just the fortunes of the football team that were changing during the Charlton Years. The economy was about to be utterly transformed; the Church was on the verge of disaster; there were Irish people winning Oscars and selling millions of rock 'n' roll albums; there were new voices in the media; and a woman was running for President. And there was Jack, our most unlikely icon. In this brilliant book, Declan Lynch brings it all together, the sporting, the social and the autobiographical. Dermot Morgan and Father Michael Cleary were part of the story too; U2 and UB40 made their contributions alongside Eamon Dunphy and Charles Haughey. Days of Heaven brings us back to this extraordinary time. And it brings it all to life again.

Gonad Histology Update 2
I think I understand classification better now
I met with Molly in February to discuss histology classificiation methods. She suggested I read Mladineo et al. 2007 and Ropes 1968 for their descriptions of maturation stages, as well as better pictures to help me discern between sexes and stages. I read the papers and they were very helpful! Mladineo et al. 2007 also had some interesting visuals and analysis methods that I could use if I find any significant differences in maturation between treatments.
I downloaded the original Google Sheets document and saved it as a .csv file in my repository. I then revised my classifications. I felt more confident assigning sexes than I did before, which made some of the stage classification a bit easier. I still have my doubts on a few classifications, so I’m going to send it over to Brent to see if he can help me now that Molly’s busy with work at Taylor.
Remeber those red spots I said I saw in my previous histology update? I emailed those pictures to Lisa Crosson. She sent me this response:
I think they might be ferrous cells/granules which typically have a brown/red “blob” morphology. I’ve seen them before in shellfish digestive, kidney and gonadal tissues likely due to the fact that there is a lot of cellular turnover going on leaving behind iron deposits. Could also be a random staining artifact which happens from time to time.
In my classification spreadsheet, I added a column for ferrous inclusions. I don’t know if this could be realted to maturation stage or sex, but it could be interesting to see if there’s a difference in presence/absence between treatments.
Now that I feel more confident with my classifications, I can work on analyzing them. If I make any change to the classifications, all I need to do is read my .csv file in again!

1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake
The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake occured on October 18, 1989 at 00:04 UTC in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Central California.
- Date: October 18, 1989 at 00:04 UTC (October 17, 1989 at 05:04 PM local time)
- Location: 37.040 -121.877
- Depth: 16.79 km
- Magnitude: 6.9 Mw, 7.1 Ms, 6.7 Ml
- Faulting:This earthquake was the first major event to occur along the San Andreas fault zone since the 1906 earthquake. The Loma Prieta earthquake ruptured the southernmost 40 km of the 1906 break, in comparable amounts of right-lateral strike slip and reverse slip motion. The average strike-slip displacement was 1.2 meters while the average reverse-slip displacement was 1.6 meters. This type of motion is not typical of the San Andreas fault and suggests that the earthquake occurred on a sub-parallel fault and not on the San Andreas itself. Consequently, the potential for a damaging earthquake on the San Andreas in the Santa Cruz mountains may still exist.
- Deaths: 63
- Injuries: 3,757
- Property Damage: $ 5,900,000,000. At the time, this was the most costly natural disaster in the United States.
Because of its proximity to the San Francisco Bay Area, the earthquake was felt extensively over the area:
- 16 km ( 10 miles) ENE ( 61 degrees) of Santa Cruz, CA
- 22 km ( 13 miles) WSW ( 244 degrees) of Morgan Hill, CA
- 34 km ( 21 miles) S ( 177 degrees) of San Jose, CA
- 47 km ( 29 miles) N ( 5 degrees) of Monterey, CA
- 71 km ( 44 miles) S ( 188 degrees) of Livermore, CA
- 91 km ( 57 miles) SSE ( 158 degrees) of Oakland, CA
- 95 km ( 59 miles) SSE ( 150 degrees) of San Francisco, CA
- 100 km ( 62 miles) SSE ( 159 degrees) of Berkeley, CA
This earthquake has been extremely well-studied and numerous
resources are available. Here is a brief list.
- One month of seismicity following the Loma Prieta mainshock
- Background seismicity for the Loma Prieta region
- Monthly and annual seismicity for the Loma Prieta region
- Realtime earthquake map of the South Bay
- Recording from BKS
- Recording from CMB
At the time of the Loma Prieta earthquake, the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory operated a small network of 16-bit digital seismometers. Because of the limited digital range of the 16-bit systems, all of these instruments "clipped". In addition, some of the seismometers displayed non-linear effects from the strong shaking. The data were useful for providing P-wave travel times in order to locate the earthquake, but it was not possible to use the amplitude information until the largest amplitude waves had passed. Here are two example seismograms from these recordings.
The difficulties experienced in 1989 were motivation for the upgrade of the Berkeley Digital Seismic Network in 1991. Today the BDSN consists of 28 broadband stations with 24-bit digitizers. Each station consists of a broadband seismometer and a strong-motion instrument in order to ensure that the full range of ground motions are recorded on scale.

Marvin Miller, the legendary leader of the Major League Baseball Player's Association, passed away today at the age of 95. Mr. Miller never played the game, but he may have had more influence on baseball than anyone else in this half of the century. As executive director of the Players Association from 1966-1982, he brought a world of experience garnered in the tough steelworkers’ union to bear on baseball labor relations, and his knowledge, organizational ability, and resolve completely overmatched the owners and their representatives. During his tenure the average players salary increased from $19,000 to over $240,000. Today the Baseball Players Union is acknowledged as one of the strongest labor organizations in the United States. Below is my 2004 interview with Mr. Miller and at 87, you will see that he still had the fire.
Dave Zirin: Who or what shaped your thinking as a young man?
Marvin Miller: Well, I guess a big part of what shaped me was that I entered high school in February of 1929. Several months later, boom, we have the Great Depression. All through the early 1930s my father who was a retail store salesman saw the businesses that employed him went downhill and all through the Depression, my father got more and more anxious and concerned and I was old enough to be aware of all of that.
How did the Depression affect where you grew up?
I grew up in New York City and in that period, you couldn’t help but observe the breadlines, the increase of the number of people begging in the streets, the people selling apples. The signs of economic hardship were easy to see. I am reminded of a question I was asked a couple of years ago. I was speaking to a group of young black students in New York talking about the Depression, breadlines and so on and one of the kids asked me if there were white people also on the breadlines and selling apples in the streets. Of course! In fact most of them! In the New York of the early 1930s there was a black population but it was largely ghettoized in Harlem and unless you went to Harlem, you didn’t see black people on the breadlines.
How did the Depression move you toward trade union politics?
My father who had never been in a union in his life, became active. He was a member in the wholesale clothing workers union in lower Manhattan and I have a very early memory of going to a store where he was working and finding him on a picket line. Also my mother was a teacher in New York City Public Schools and she became one of the early members of the city’s teachers’ union. As the thirties progressed and the CIO [Congress of Industrial Organizations] and industrial unions formed, everybody was aware of the ferment of the labor movement. All of these were influences.
When did you personally become involved?
I graduated college in 1938, and in that period, a good part of the country was seemingly coming out of the Depression. But New York City was not. New York just kept dropping until April 1940 after the rest of the country was moving. I can recall wondering if I was ever going to get a job. Unlike some friends and neighbors, my father did not own a business. I was in different straights. I had no affluent uncles. In those days when you looked for a job you would go to employment agencies and the situation was so bad you had to connive just to get an application filled out and handed in. Eventually I got some meaningless jobs here and there–a drugstore, a small wholesale gift outfit, working for shipping broker a customs broker down at the foot of Manhattan… I had other meaningless jobs, and I kept taking civil service examinations. I finally got appointed, working with relief populations which was an eye opener, and an economist for the war production board, and eventually I moved to a brand new agency called the war relations board, and this was charged with a new function of hearing virtually every labor management pursuit. This is how it formed. The labor movement had been asked to make a no strike pledge for the duration of the war and the Chamber of Commerce were asked to, in good faith, make a no lock out pledge. The labor movement said ok but we are still organizing and there are conditions all over that haven’t changed since the Depression, and how are we going to solve disputes? And FDR created by executive order the war labor board, I was a hearing officer. With the war labor board, I dealt with arbitrating steel, auto, women in the work place, and some time later I found a job first with the IAM [the International Association of Machinists] and worked with them and I also had a short stint with the UAW [United Auto Workers]an then the steel workers starting in 1950 and I became chief economist and assistant to the president and I was with them until 1966
Were you a baseball fan before your work heading up the Players Union?
Oh yes. I was an old Brooklyn Dodgers fan and I was going to Ebbets field by myself by the time I was 10, when there was a Saturday double header! I was a huge fan from way back.
How were you recruited to head up the Baseball Players Union?
The players had a search committee made up of three or four players including Robin Roberts, Jim Bunning [two pitchers in the Hall of Fame], and Harvey Kuenn. Roberts was really the sparkplug of that committee and what he did was call [former chairman of the war labor board] George W Taylor and he recommended me.
What were the players looking for in you?
They had an organization–a fake union–called the Players Association that had been formed by the owners. This was a company union in every sense of the word, the employers had formed it back in 1947 as basically a response to two things. One there was a drive to organize players into a union, and two, there had been an attempt by two wealthy Mexican businessmen to start a major league in Mexico and they offered larger salaries. That was also the year of Jackie Robinson coming to the dodgers and the year of a man on his own trying to organize the players. A man named Robert Murphy went from Spring Training site to site–and the owners saw this and said we need to head this off and form a company union.
Why were the conditions so ripe for a strong union?
I don’t know that they wanted a real union [at first]. If I had to make an educated guess, the one thing the players had which they prized was their pension plan. It was called a benefit plan, That had been put into effect also in 1947 once again the owners saying, let’s do something to prevent the union here. 18 years later, two things, were concerning the players. One was that the pension had not kept pace over 18 years of progress, also they picked up strong rumors that the owners were wanting to change it. Television by 1965 had grown tremendously. [L.A. Dodgers owner] Walter O’Mally saw this and wanted to after the benefit plan. But beyond that I was also learning that it was like pulling teeth learning what else made them unhappy. This was because they were a work force basically unschooled in working conditions. They had all undergone a bunch of brainwashing that being allowed to play major league baseball was a great favor that they were the luckiest people in the world. They were accustomed never to think, "This stinks. We need to change this." You have to remember baseball players are very young and with few exceptions have no experience in these matters.
Did the other movements of the 1960s, the Civil Rights Struggle, the anti-war struggle, had on giving people the confidence to think union?
There is no doubt there was a major connection. You now had a great many black and Latin players. You now had a much more diverse sampling of the American people than in the 1940s. You now had at least some people who were able to think in terms of what was wrong with the society, what was wrong with the conditions, people much more accustomed to think about these things. You have to remember before 1947, the ballplayer came in tremendous proportion from rural areas rather than from cities, from the south and southwest and not from big urban areas. And by and large from anti-union areas.
Why was Curt Flood the player who stepped forward to challenge the reserve clause?
To me Flood epitomized the modern player who began to think in terms of union, to ask questions like "Why is baseball an exception to how labor is treated in other industries? Why should we be treated like property? Why should we agree to have a reserve clause?" Basic questions that had gone unasked.
Was it related that it took a Black player to challenge the reserve clause?
It was definitely related. Black and Latin players like Roberto Clemente were at the forefront. This was not just the color of their skin. Flood for example did not grow up in the south. He grew up in Oakland California. He was an outstanding High School athlete, he was drafted to play in the majors and was promptly sent to the south. He wasn’t old, but he wasn’t a child. What I am about to say is not a fact but I have always felt that when a player of his temperament and pride was sent to the south not being able to stay in the same hotels and motels, playing in Georgia and Mississippi, I think it made a very big difference in his outlook on the world
How did Curt Flood come to decide to file this lawsuit?
Curt Flood came to me to discuss the possibility of a lawsuit and I thought that it was a losing case, the chance of winning was terrible. How was he going to finance it? I felt that he would indeed need help, and I was concerned how easy it was to make bad law with a bad case–and I felt the union should back him. And I began to lobby his case with the executive board and since we were going to meet in early December 1969 in San Juan, I arranged with Curt to have him come to the meeting, and have Curt be questioned, and when it came time to bring Curt in, I had already briefed him, and maybe some of them knew Flood but not in this context. I brought him into the board meeting and turned it over. And finally a board member asked Curt, ‘The motivation here: why are you doing this? Was it–to attack the reserve clause to stop the owners from trading a player where he didn’t want to go? Or was this a sign of ‘black power’ and Curt looked at him and said ‘I wish it was" but we are dealing with an issue that affects every player. Color has nothing to do it. We are all pieces of property.
Does Curt Flood belong in the Hall of Fame?
Absolutely. No doubt about it.
Is there still a need for a strong union?
YES! I have seen good conditions go bad. I think in labor management relations there is no such thing as standing still. You either move foreword or you go back. There is no standing still. Are salaries wonderful? Yeah but we must remember that it is unity and solidarity and the struggles of the past that made them successful. There is no guarantee that this will continue. And without a union as successful as it has been, I would predict a downward spiral. The labor movement never stands still.

Construction workers working on a subway in Los Angeles recently uncovered some of the fossilized remains of mastodons and possibly a mammoth, ancient elephant relatives that used to roam the area thousands of years ago.
It's not uncommon to find such artifacts in the Los Angeles area, home of the La Brea tar pits. In fact, the tusk and mastodon tooth fragments, as well as the partial of skull of what could either be a mastodon or a mammoth, were found at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and La Brea Avenue, near the tar pits.
So expected were these finds, that the LA Metro had already hired a paleontologist to be on staff. Before this, the biggest finds were a rock embedded with what might be part of a sea lion's mouth and a non-fossilized tree limb. "Here on the Miracle Mile is where the best record of life from the last great ice age in the world is found," said Kim Scott, field and laboratory director with Cogstone Resource Management, which Metro has hired, in 2014.
While finding mammoth bones is a great way to get in touch with the past, don't think about bringing them back to life.

Finally I got the new design ready. A dark color scheme this time, because I really like it how dark backgrounds play together with vibrant colors. I wrote some nice wordpress plug-ins to make my life easier and switched from mootools to jQuery.
I’m more than ever fascinated by the web and while i did struggle the last time I wanted to post on a regular basis, I will now try it again and hopefully succeed ;)
Since most of my visitors seem to be from non-German speaking countries, I use this as an excuse to polish my English, since its getting worse every day. So the navigation, the blog and my tutorials section shall be written in English from this day on; rest of the site will remain German… at least for now.

Request for Financial Aid
For more on The Montgomery Academy Finanical Aid click here
Frequently Asked Questions
I really want the quality of an Academy education for my children, but my family cannot afford the full cost of tuition. Is there a financial aid program?
The Academy has an endowment given by alumni, parents and friends specifically for financial aid. Financial need is the sole criterion for granting aid. Deliberations of the Financial Aid Committee are strictly confidential. The child's admission process is separated from the financial aid evaluation so that the child is guaranteed consideration on his or her own merits, not on the family's ability to pay tuition.
How do I apply for financial aid?
Before you can apply for financial aid, your child must be either an enrolled student or an applicant whose application forms and fees have been submitted to the Admissions Office. The steps in the financial aid application procedure are:
- Email a request for a financial aid application to Susannah Cleveland. The application package will be mailed to you in January 2014 or after depending on the date of your request.
- Complete the Academy's Application for Financial Aid which includes a student service for financial aid (SSS) application and return to Academy Business Office.
- Submit to the Academy a copy of the family's federal income tax return (1040), including all schedules and W-2s from the year prior to the child's entering year.
- If the family owns a business or a farm, an additional SSS Business/Farm Statement must be completed and submitted with the tax return to the Academy.
- If the parents are divorced or separated, the noncustodial parent should also complete an applicaion.
How does the Academy notify me of its financial aid decision?
A report from School and Student Service is sent to the school as soon as the application is processed. This process takes about four to six weeks. The Academy's Financial Aid Committee evaluates the SSS report and the tax return and reaches a decision based on the financial status and the amount available in the financial aid fund. A reply is mailed to the family as soon as the committee reaches a decision. Although you may receive an admission decision on your child before you receive the financial aid decision, your child's enrollment contract and refundable deposit must be submitted by the designated date. Your child's enrollment contract is not binding until your financial aid decision is finalized.

Sykes becomes the first player since Detroit’s Rashad Phillips in 2000-01 to win back-to-back player of the year awards and the fifth player in the league’s history to win player of the year two or more times. Sykes joins Tony Bennett (1990-91, 1991-92) as the only players in Green Bay’s Division 1 history to be named the conference player of the year twice.
For the second straight season, media members, head coaches and sports information directors voted Sykes as the top player in the league. He was also voted All-Horizon League for the third time in his career. [Read more…]

Mountain biking is a full body activity. While your legs are pushing and pulling those pedals, your core and upper body are holding everything in place, and that is a major key to climbing hills.
By following these five steps, your bike and body will become one tackling any climb.
So get ready to crank.
1) Know before you go
Drop your gears before you need them for steep climbing. The less pressure you apply while shifting, the better. Shifting early will set you up for success.
2) Get to know your saddle
Scoot yourself forward — way forward — on the saddle. This keeps you in a commanding position over the pedals to crank hard while targeting weight over the rear tire to keep it on from slipping out.
3) Pedal in circles
Pushing down on the pedals is just half of the battle, think of pulling the pedals around with your feet to complete the rotation. See “To clip or not to clip” to get the low down on how pedal selection can help you climb.
4) Keep it on lock down
Bend at the elbows with elbows in and forearms flat. And as you lean your weight forward, maintain a firm posture through your back and neck.
5) Don’t let go
Pull back and down on the handlebars, never up. This, coupled with your body position on the saddle and pedaling in circles, creates a powerful transfer of energy to the wheels that will turn you into a climbing machine.

If a referendum were held over deciding the most lauded fashion era in the last century, the early 2000s wouldn’t quite receive the most popular vote. Known as a mash-up period where trends from decades prior were gaudily styled, embellished and tailored, the noughties, when spoken about in retrospect, have been pretty much condemned to sartorial hell.
After all, this was a time when Ed Hardy, sequined tube tops and velour tracksuits with rhinestone logos emblazoned across the rear were considered fashionable (although the latter seems to have made something of a comeback recently).
But this is fashion we’re talking about, where trends are constantly being invented, repurposed, laid to rest and then resurrected again (this industry isn’t one noted for its steadfastness). The ’90s have experienced a very cushy comeback for a while now, so is it finally time to embrace all things Y2K? MISBHV seems to think so.
For its first ever womenswear presentation, the progressive Polish label decided to reminiscence on the glory days of clubbing in Eastern Europe during the early ’00s. In case you need a visual reference, watch this video here below.
Pawing over a swath of styles that characterized various subcultures from the era (a defining element of former electronic music fashion scenes), the collection’s deconstructive streetwear twist gave it a very contemporary feeling, despite its niche narrative.
Top-to-bottom low-rise denim getups, a glittery pink chiffon slip-dress and exposed monogram-printed lingerie harked back to pop princesses and celebutant “It” girls that dominated the tabloids back in the day (Lindsay, Paris, Britney and the like). Traces of nu-metal and hardstyle rave came in the form of ultra wide-leg, JNCO-like trousers, wallet chains and motocross racing gear. Oversized hoodies and tees featured bold, blinged-out graphics that you’ve probably seen worn in your favorite crunk rap music video (shout out to Lil Jon).
The brand also showcased a few collaborative pieces created with Instagram darling Sita Abellan, including a silky Japanese kimono ornamented with the word “PAIN” across the back, boxing shorts and gloves.
Once the presentation started, sounds of melodic vocal trance (nearly lost it when “Ecstasy” by ATB came on) boomed throughout the room as the models stood on a white stage covered in pink and yellow roses. Not a huge spectacle, but it didn’t really need to be – the clothes spoke for themselves.
Be sure to follow SS17 to stay au courant with all of this season’s Fashion Week happenings.

The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert! Bob Dylan Sony Music “Here comes the blind commissioner / They’ve got him in a trance / One hand is tied to the tightrope walker / The other is in his pants.”
Did Bob Dylan predict the advent of Donald Trump a half-century ago? Give the man a Nobel prize. Who would have thought it back in 1966, but they just did in Stockholm last weekend. Dylan did not turn up, citing unspecified prior commitments, but thanked the Swedish Academy for answering the question of whether his lyrics qualify as literature.
There’s clear enough evidence of this in Desolation Row and Visions of Johanna in the exquisite acoustic half of this concert, both embellished with delightful harmonica solos, as is Mr Tambourine Man.
Too many of the words, though, are kind of lost in the mix when Dylan returns to the stage after the interval with the Band in tow, and it’s not all that hard to work out why a certain proportion of the audience was perturbed by the contrast.
By the time Dylan and the Band returned to the stage in the early 1970s, they were a far more organic outfit. Here, the electric set is a not entirely satisfactory work in progress, with almost every track decidedly inferior to the studio version.
The set list precisely echoes that of the “Judas” concert in Manchester, issued as part of The Bootleg Series in 1998. But the packaging is rudimentary, with no liner notes — perhaps because it’s culled from a 36-disc box set that covers all the recorded output of Dylan’s 1966 tour, with almost every concert boasting the same tracks.
There’s much to enjoy here, but it lacks the power of revelation.

It also offers Converanet, an online search directory portal that contains various search engines in a single Web site. In addition, the company provides various professional services consisting of Web site customization; search engine optimization, marketing services, and training; and advertising sales kit development and training.”
Liquidation Time table:
Majority shareholders have already approved the liquidation:
According to the proxy statement: “Holders of our Class A Common Stock which represented a majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock as of the Record Date, have executed a written consent in favor of the actions described above and have delivered it to us on September 22, 2009, the Consent Date. Therefore, no other consents will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement.”
The Certificate of Dissolution hasn’t yet been filled:
“We anticipate that we will first take corporate action with respect to the Plan of Dissolution in accordance with our stockholder approval by filing the Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware not less than twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders.”
The first cash distribution will take place shortly after the certificate of dissolution is filled with the state of Delaware.
The liquidating distributions consist of two parts. First, Convera will distribute a cash component worth $.26 per share. Second, after the certificate of dissolution is filled, Convera will merge its remaining intellectual property with VSW recieving a 33% ownership stake in VSW. Convera will sell its 33% interest in VSW or distribute it to shareholders. The company says the value of its ownership interest in VSW will be $.11 - $.19 per share.
According to the proxy statement:
“In connection with the Merger, our stockholders will receive cash, plus a pro-rata share of an aggregate of one-third of the common stock of VSW. Our management estimates that our residual cash, after transfer of all of the operating assets and $3,000,000 in cash at closing of the Merger, drawn-down portion of the $1,000,000 line of credit, and various wind-down activities, will be approximately $14,000,000. We plan to distribute $10,000,000 shortly after the closing of the Merger, with the remaining $4,000,000 to be distributed in $2,000,000 increments at six months and 12 months after the closing of the Merger, subject to possible holdbacks for potential liabilities and on-going expenses deemed necessary by our board of directors in its sole discretion.”
The present value of this cash distribution, assuming a discount rate of 10%, is estimated at $0.26 per share. The calculation was performed as follows:
Value of intellectual property:
“Following the filing of our Certificate of Dissolution, we expect to consummate the merger of B2BNetSearch, Inc. and Convera Technologies, LLC, each a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Convera, with VSW 2, Inc., the Delaware parent company of Firstlight Online Limited, a company in the business of online advertising sales and marketing incorporated as a company limited by shares in the United Kingdom (“Firstlight”), pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 29, 2009, as amended and restated on September 22, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”). As a result of the Merger, Convera will own 33.3% of the total outstanding capital stock of Vertical Search Works, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the indirect parent company of VSW 2 (“VSW”)."
“Both our CEO, Patrick Condo, and CFO, Matthew Jones, will join VSW after the effectiveness of the Merger. Mr. Condo has entered into a transition agreement with us and we intend to enter into a transition agreement with Mr. Jones. Additionally, it is the intention of the parties that Messrs. Condo and Jones enter into employment agreements with VSW.”
“In accordance with such agreement, we will pay Mr. Condo, among other benefits, an aggregate amount of $480,000 in cash in a lump sum on the 30th day after the closing of the Merger, provided that Mr. Condo has signed and delivered a general release in favor of us and the release has become effective.”
“Hempstead assessed the value indication associated with a one-third equity interest in VSW based upon the discounted cash flows methodology. Specifically, under a discounted cash flows methodology, the value of a company’s stock is determined by discounting to present value the expected returns that accrue to holders of such equity. Projected cash flows for VSW were based upon projected financial data prepared by our management. Estimated cash flows to equity holders were discounted to present value based upon a range of discount rates, from 25% to 35%. This range of discount rates is reflective of the required rates of return on later-stage venture capital investments."
The resultant value indications for the VSW component of the transaction, on a per-Convera share basis, are as follows:
The valuation placed on the 33% interest in VSW is $.11 - $.19 per share. Convera’s estimate of the value for the cash and valuation of VSW stock to be received in liquidation are within a range of $0.37 to $0.45 per share.
Herbert A. Allen has been a director of the Company since the effective date of the Combination on December 21, 2000 and was a director of Excalibur since June 2000. He has been President, Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director and a director of Allen & Company Incorporated, a privately-held investment firm, for more than the past five years. He is a member of the Board of Directors of The Coca-Cola Company. He is the father of Herbert A. Allen III.
The Allen family and Allen and Co. control over 61% of the company. Since Herb Allen is friends with Warren Buffett, I’d assume he is honest and trustworthy. He is also a very well connected person, knows a lot of power players, and with his own money on the line its good that the person in control has an interest in making sure the liquidation is completed quickly and efficiently. Both Herb Allen and his son are on the board of directors of Convera.
Convera shareholders will receive the following as part of the liquidation:
1) $10m or $.187 per share upon closing of the merger
2) $2m or $.037 per share 6 months after the closing
3) another $2m 12 months after the closing plus 33% of VSW, estimated to be worth $.11- .19 per share.
At a purchase price of $.22, I’m being paid an 18% return to hold a free option on the value of VSW. The value of VSW is unknown but all the upside is free. One of the major risks in a liquidation play is executives have an incentive to delay the liquidation process and continue collecting their salaries. In this case, the executives are being hired by VSW so they don’t have to worry about losing their jobs. In addition the CEO, Patrick Condo will receive $480,000 30 days after the closing of the merger. Executives, especially the CEO have an incentive to move the liquidation process along quickly. Also, Herb Allen controls over 61% of Convera and he and his son are on the board. I like the fact that he’s friends with Warren Buffett and he will insure that the liquidation process moves along quickly because $8 million of his money is on the line.
The author owns shares in Convera.

A man convicted of driving drunk and fatally crashing a van into a pregnant mother of three was sentenced to up to 15 years in prison Monday.
The man, 29-year-old Keston Brown, was given the maximum sentence on all three charges he was convicted of last month: manslaughter, assault and driving while under the influence. He will face a minimum of seven years in prison for the March 2009 accident, in which he struck and killed 29-year-old Ysemny Ramos on East 37th Street near Madison Avenue.
Brown, whose blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit during the crash, acknowledged to authorities that he had consumed multiple beers and a shot of liquor. But during the trial, the former supermarket mechanic blamed the accident on problems with the van he was driving.
The sentencing in Manhattan Supreme Court featured emotional statements from Ramos’s loved ones, including Tassia Katsiambanis — who, along with Ramos, was hit and injured in the crash — as well as the deceased woman’s husband and sister.
Reynaldo Ramos said his wife had become a part of him. “I feel I have lost more of myself than what remains,” he said in describing his loss. The day she died, he said, was supposed “to always be a great and happy day” but instead turned into a nightmare. His wife was on her way home to celebrate their wedding anniversary, he said.
Mr. Ramos also lamented the fact that he’ll never be able to hold the couple’s unborn baby, who died along with his wife. He said it pains him to watch his children cry.
“My son wishes people were made of Legos and could be put back together,” he said as his family wept in the courtroom.
Brown apologized before the judge imposed the sentence. “I beat myself up everyday,” Brown said. “I wish I could turn back the hands of time.” He mentioned that his family, including his wife and six kids, would also feel a void.
Judge Gregory Carro acknowledged the pain Brown’s family would feel, but said the incident showed “extremely poor judgment” on his part. “It was your doing,” he said.

I chose "Cherries" made of steel, acrylic, and urethane paint. I chose this piece because it was the only one I found that I somewhat liked, and that's pushing it. It is fun and whimsical but it seems too cartoonish for my taste. I think it is something that would be found in a child's toy box instead of a museum. I am not a fan of this style of sculpture at all.

CANON R5 With Tamron 15-30 2.8 0n a rf adapter
David, magnificent photo as usual. Bill, Ultra Panavision is a bit too much for me, but that's a cool shot. ;-) Do those carts have suspension? I am guessing not...
Suspension derives from chassis flex in either model of kart. #60 is a Laydown, with a wheelbase around 92 inches, #27 (here) a Sit Up with around 73 inches. The four slick tires also control the handling characteristics mainly thru tire pressure settings, 12-20 psi being typical. On either machine, some "meat" on one's "bones" helps ! Padding is cheap.

Caleb McLaughlin Addresses Racism in the ‘Stranger Things’ Fandom: ‘Why Am I the Least Favorite?’
Caleb McLaughlin, known for playing Lucas Sinclair in the Netflix mega-hit Stranger Things, addressed the racism he has faced from the fandom during Heroes Comic Con Belgium on Sunday.
The event took place on September 25, during which McLaughlin spoke on stage at a panel about his experience starring in the viral show.
"My very first Comic Con, some people didn't stand in my line because I was Black," he said. "Some people told me, like, 'Oh, I didn't wanna be in line because you were mean to Eleven.'"
He continued, "Even now, some people don't follow me or don't support me because I'm Black."
Given that the event took place in Belgium, he also discussed how he's experienced racism overseas.
"Sometimes overseas, like, you feel the racism, you feel the bigotry," he said. He also noted that "it's hard to talk about" and hard for "people to understand."
McLaughlin said that as a young actor amongst a mostly-white cast, it really affected him "a lot."
"Why [do I have] the least amount of followers? I'm on the same show as everybody from season one," he said of how the show exploded after its premiere.
McLaughlin's parents then told him "the sad truth" about being the only "Black child on the show."
"But that's why with my platform I wanna spread positivity and love because I do not give hate back to people that give hate to me," he concluded amid applause from the audience.
Watch the video, below:
Fans were quick to chime in online about McLaughlin's powerful words, including one who called the situation and the culture of toxic fandom in general "deeply disturbing."
Another called out an alleged incident where the Stranger Things fandom outed someone to their homophobic parents over a disagreement about star Finn Wolfhard, calling it "too far."
The original poster of the video added that when he met McLaughlin during the event's meet and greet, he told him how inspiring he was and he appeared very happy with the support.
He also said that McLaughlin was "so sweet" and "so chill" and said that he "hated the 'Chrissy Wake Up' song."
Another fan said, "It's not enough to say 'oh he deserves better' RESPECT his work and his persona."

Since 2000 we have had more dry years than wet years, according to the National Weather Service. And the past two years have been driest and warmest on record, but the damage has been done.
92 percent of New Mexico is in severe drought or worse and we've had a very slow start to snow accumulation so far this season. In fact, snowpack everywhere from Chama to Ruidoso is 75 percent below where we should be for December.
The effects are far reaching.
Already the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is alerting Rio Grande water users, including Albuquerque, that they may receive just 80 percent of their usual supply from the San Juan-Chama Project in 2013 because the drought has put a dent in the water reserves.
The project hasn't faced a shortage since it was completed in the 1970s.
The damage has been done to farmers and ranchers who are being forced to cut back on crops and herds. And the crispy, dry vegetation is ripe for bigger wildfires like the devastating - Las Conchas, Wallow and Whitewater Baldy fires - no place in New Mexico is immune.
The National Weather Service says if current conditions persist the outlook is grim. Even if snowfall and rain return to normal, it will take two or more years to break the drought and get back to average.
New Mexico needs the storm track to turn in our direction this winter and spring to get to the point to where monsoon this summer will begin to help. But meteorologists say it's more likely we will still be in the drought this spring and summer.
Overall, the temperature numbers from the past several years show us transitioning into a new normal: The National Weather Service says the state is going to be warmer on average from now on.
2012 is on track to be the warmest year on record.

All rights are reserved Ole Klintebæk for all pictures and other material unless otherwise stated.
Ask, it does not hurt
I have several times needed material for building non-commercial web sites. It could be pictures, drawings or snippets of text. Often the budget was tight on such projects. It is my experience that you are treated well, if you contact the copyright owners and ask nicely if you can use specific material. Often you can get it for free under very sensible conditions. The worse that can happen is that they politely tell you no.
Images on WWW is NOT free stuff
Material published on the internet is not owned by everyone and it is not always free. The fact that you can find images in Google by an image search does not mean you can take it and use it - except for very limited and stricly personal uses.
If you just grab this stuff and use it for public display you are no better than a shop lifter. If you grab it and sell it you are a direct criminal person.
There are search engines that can find such material from codes imbedded in the digital image, and there are lawyers that earn money by hunting it down.
Just don't do it.

Information on this web page is general in nature. Descriptions of laws and court procedures are abbreviated. This information is not intended as legal advice. If you do not understand this information or if you need legal advice you should see an attorney.
What is small claims court?
Small claims is a simple court process for resolving civil disputes involving small amounts of money. Applicable Iowa laws may be found in Iowa Code chapter 631.
What kinds of cases are heard in small claims court?
A small claims case is a civil action for a money judgment in which the amount of damages is $6,500 or less. An action for forcible entry and detainer arising out of a landlord tenant dispute can be brought in small claims court. In small claims court, cases are tried before a judge, not a jury.
How do I start a small claims case?
To begin a small claims case, review the instructions for self-represented litigants filing small claims actions. You will then electronically file the appropriate small claims Original Notice form and pay the $85 filing fee. The official forms to use in Iowa small claims cases are available free of charge on this website. You may have an additional cost for having the petition served on the other party. Once you have filed the Original Notice and paid the filing fees and other associated fees, you have started your case. You must file electronically unless you get permission from the court to file in paper. The official forms to use in Iowa small claims cases are available free of charge on this website.
What is the process for defending a small claims case?
If you have received an Original Notice naming you as a defendant in a small claims case, you should review the instructions for a defendant responding to a small claims action. You will then file an Appearance and Answer form. There is no fee for filing an answer.
If you do not file an answer, you risk the chance of having the court enter a default judgment against you awarding the plaintiff what he or she asked for in the Original Notice and Petition.
If you believe you also have a claim against the person suing you, you may file a small claims counterclaim.
What is the process after the case is filed?
If the other party has entered a timely answer, the clerk will assign a case to the court calendar for hearing.
Judicial magistrates hear most small claims cases, though any judge may hear a small claims case. Small claims hearings are simple and informal. Be sure to review the tips for representing yourself before your hearing.
If the hearing is contested, the magistrate will electronically record the proceeding. Hearings will not be recorded by a certified court reporter unless a party provides the reporter at the party's own expense.
What if the other party does not appear at the hearing?
Unless good cause to the contrary is shown:
- If both parties fail to appear at the time of the hearing, the claim will be dismissed without prejudice, meaning the plaintiff may be able to refile the claim upon paying another $85 filing fee.
- If the plaintiff fails to appear, but the defendant appears, the claim will be dismissed with prejudice, meaning the plaintiff may not refile the same claim.
- If the plaintiff appears, but the defendant does not, the court will enter a default judgment against the defendant.
- If the defendant fails to appear and the clerk of court determines proper notice was given, the clerk of court will enter a default judgment against the defendant if plaintiff’s damages are clearly identified. If plaintiff’s damages are not clearly identified, only a judge can enter a default judgment on plaintiff’s claim.
Can I set aside a default judgment?
A defendant may ask the court to set aside a default judgment for good cause, including a mistake, inadvertence, surprise, excusable neglect, or unavoidable casualty. A motion to set aside a default judgment must be filed promptly after the discovery of the grounds, but not more than sixty days after entry of the judgment.
Can I appeal a small claims case?
If you are unhappy with a small claims judgment you may appeal the case. To appeal you must:
Either tell the judge at the conclusion of the hearing that you want to appeal, or file a notice of appeal within twenty days after the decision is rendered.
Pay the docket fee to the clerk of court within twenty days after the decision is rendered.
If a magistrate decided the original action, a district associate or district court judge will hear the appeal. If a district associate judge heard the original action, a district court judge will decide the appeal. And if a district court judge heard the original action, another district court judge will decide the appeal.
The appeal will be heard upon the record without taking additional evidence. If the original action was electronically recorded, the recording will be the record on appeal.
If you are not pleased with the outcome of the appeal, you may ask the Iowa Supreme Court to review the case. In small claims cases, however, the supreme court has discretion to decide if it will review the case—review is not a matter of right.
Do I need an attorney in a small claims action?
Some litigants in small claims court choose to have an attorney, but it is not required.

Sunnyvale, CA – March 10, 2022 – Illumio, Inc., the pioneer and leader of Zero Trust Segmentation, today announced it is a Leader in The Forrester New Wave™: Microsegmentation, Q1 2022. The report evaluated Illumio Core and Illumio Edge on ten criteria scores consisting of current offering and strategy. Illumio scored as differentiated in five of the ten categories including product vision, product and service support, policy management, policy enforcement, and interface and reporting. The evaluation found Illumio:
- “Focuses on operationalizing Zero Trust policies in the network. No other vendor obsesses about enforcing explicit network policy like Illumio. Illumio’s policy management, policy enforcement and interface set the standard for microsegmentation.”
- “Is the choice for organizations wanting predictable microsegmentation at scale. Illumio’s application labeling model enforces the disciplined approach to Zero Trust security that many large organizations sorely need.”
“Forrester’s independent assessment clearly states that Illumio’s policy management, policy enforcement, and interface set the standard for microsegmentation, which validates for us the impact our portfolio makes for customers and partners who are facing today’s most critical security threats, including ransomware,” said PJ Kirner, CTO and Co-Founder of Illumio. “Microsegmentation is not only a fundamental part of a Zero Trust architecture, but a core component of any security strategy. Any organization focused on cyber resilience must recognize the important role microsegmentation plays in containing inevitable breaches and preventing them from spreading into cyber disasters.”
In an increasingly complex and hybrid world, the attack surface has widened, making it easier than ever for attacks to spread. Illumio stops lateral movement and contains breaches before they spread and become catastrophic, which is an essential part of any Zero Trust strategy. Illumio is purpose-built for the Zero Trust security model and is also a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust eXtended (ZTX) Ecosystems Platform Providers, Q3 2020.
Being named a Leader in The Forrester New Wave™: Microsegmentation, Q1 2022 comes as Illumio closed a record fiscal year on surging demand for Zero Trust Segmentation and after enterprise marketing powerhouse Jennifer Johnson was appointed Chief Marketing Officer.

In 2021 I had 28 finishes. It is much less than the number of finishes as 2020 (42 I think?) but most of them were a good deal more complex. And several of them were off my “bucket list,” projects I deemed to be high priorities in my stitching career. I also had a good number of starts which I made good progress on, but I will talk about them in my next post. I count it a successful year. Let’s look back shall we?
First of all, off the official bucket list, I finished:
- Catherine Agnes by Indigo Rose
2) The Treasure Box by The Drawn Thread
3) Italian Peacocks Purse by GPA
4) Butterfly Summer Casket Keepsake by Amy Mitten
5) The Sampler Roll by Samplers Remembered-I will get it framed sometime…
6) Star of Wonder by Just Nan. This one will be framed too…
6! That’s not the 12 I was hoping for, but I’ll take it! What lovely projects I will be able to enjoy as actual objects now!
I stitched 3 Blackbird Designs (Strawberry Garden, Vintage Blooms and Quaker Garden) which were all special to do because they are three of my top favorite designs of BBD and also OOP. I know I am very fortunate to be able to make these:
I also kept up with my Smalls stitching with a big variety of styles and finishes. There were these 4 Mill Hill kits:
And two Smalls mounted on wood things:
And then there are the super small Smalls: a mini pin cushion, fob, pinwheel, and needle book:
Finally this little half-a-needlebook (Chessie and Me) which I plan to stitch again with my other cat so I have both my cats on one needlebook. This one is my childhood cat, Minou, and I plan to stitch an orange tabby to be Kiwi, my kitty who died last year at the great age of 19.
Last but certainly not least are 4 framed projects which do not fit into any other category:
When I started to write this post I only counted up 21 projects. I thought, 21 in 2021, that is a nice coincidence! But as I went through my pictures I found 7 more. I was quite surprised as I didn’t think I had managed to stitch that much! (The bigger surprise was how much was actually fully finished!) But I did, and more, and here is the evidence! Tomorrow I will show you my continuing projects for 2022. I have my work cut out for me!

|| This article is about an expected future event. The article's contents may change as the event approaches and more information becomes available. Please be cautious when adding information to this article, as rumors and speculation often get confused with fact; avoid any information on this subject which is not confirmed by reliable sources.
A Sky Battle (Japanese: スカイバトル Sky Battle) is a type of Pokémon battle introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Sky Battles consist of two Pokémon battling each other in the air instead of on land or sea. However, because of this, only Flying types and Pokémon with the Ability Levitate are eligible for Sky Battles.
In the games
At certain points in the game, the player can encounter Sky Trainers on top of cliffs or other distant areas who will challenge them to a Sky Battle. All Sky Battles are optional, since the player may not have any eligible Pokémon to use.

Months before assembly elections in the state, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President G. Parameshwara says that the party apparatus is in great shape and does not need an election strategist like Prashant Kishor to pull off a successful campaign.
Bengaluru: In the midst of a raging debate on a separate state flag, the upcoming assembly elections, and hectic conferences promoting social equity, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) President G. Parameshwara has said that the party apparatus is all geared up ahead of the 2018 polls, and is already working actively on the ground level.
Speaking to ThePrint in Bangalore, Parameshwara claimed that the “Modi factor” would not turn the tide for the BJP in Karnataka.
“Here in Karnataka, it’s different. Modi’s effect is definitely not as much as in UP or some other state. Here, people see national and state election as separate from each other. Look at the trends in the state so far. If there is a party ruling in the Centre, the same is never in the state. So people here don’t get too swayed by this kind of thing.”
Parameshwara, who is also the former home minister in the Siddaramiah cabinet, also claimed that the state Congress did not need an election strategist like Prashant Kishor to give impetus to its election campaign.
“We have enough talent of our own. We don’t need Prashant Kishor or anyone here. Yes, it is good if there are agencies or experts who can give general guidelines, but it is ultimately the local persons and people on ground who engage with people and fight elections”, he said.
However, conceding that the BJP has an advantage in the RSS, Parameshwara said, “Yes, the BJP has a big advantage. They have RSS, the organised RSS workers which work for them.”
Parameshwara further added that the party was focusing on its booth level activities, and that its anti-corruption plank still stands strong.
“I don’t think there is much anti-incumbency. There is our record of good governance in the state. Last time we took the issue of corruption in the elections, and this is something that is still relevant against the BJP. We still have that advantage”, he said.
When asked about Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, and the state of affairs in the Congress, the PCC chief said that the party is currently going through a “transitional process”. Whenever there has previously been such a transition, the party has been in power at the Centre, thus making the process smoother. Being out of power at the Centre is causing some hiccups, he explained.
“Rahul Gandhi-ji is able to galvanise younger people. He is bringing new and technology driven politics in the party, in the All India Congress Committee, and the state PCCs. He is a very serious person, and one can see how much he has evolved over the years. It is going in the right direction,” Parameshwara said.

Even though we try to make leasing a car as easy as possible, there are a lot of questions that our customers ask when it comes to it, from eligibility to benefits. So, to save you taking a look at our FAQs Page that features a complete set of questions that we have been asked, we thought that we would use a Friday to take the opportunity to look at some of these questions, and give a little more information behind the answers.
This week, we look at some of the most common questions that we are asked about.
This all depends on your situation when it comes to your business.
You may be eligible for business leasing if you are applying for vehicle finance as a limited company, partnership, sole trader or LLP, but that's not to say that it is a definite. It all depends on factors involving finance, so checkout whether or not you are eligible for business finance here.
Getting a car on business finance can be financially advantageous as manufacturers occasionally offer special rates for business customers only that can result in a difference in price between business and personal prices. Secondly business car leasing also offers positive tax implications as you can reclaim up to 50% of the rental (for cars) or up to 100% (on commercial vehicles) on a business contract hire agreement.
Add into this the fact that business customers also take advantage of exclusive extras, such as outsourced fleet administration, and a business leasing contract may be your best option.
In some cases, personal leasing may actually be the way forward as the most appropriate option for certain businesses (such as start-ups and self-employed-led businesses who may not have some of the financial statements that business lease funders require). The major difference between personal and business leasing is that with a personal contract hire agreement you are unable to reclaim any VAT. Your Nationwide Vehicle Contracts representative will be able to advise you with regards to this.
If you want to check out whether or not you are eligible for Personal Finance, click here.
Depending on whether you are taking out a Business or Personal Leasing Contract, the contract that is on offer will be different - BUT what it DOES include is:
But what it DOES NOT include is:
As stated above, vehicle insurance is NOT covered in the leasing contract, whether Business or Personal. A customer is responsible for arranging their own insurance on the vehicle, and this insurance MUST be a fully comprehensive insurance policy, with the customer obtaining the finance as the main policy holder or a named driver on the insurance certificate.
For Contract Hire and Personal Contract Hire agreements, the finance company is the registered owner and keeper of the vehicle.
In the event of the vehicle being written off in an accident or stolen (or any other incident where it is declared a ‘total loss’), it is down to the leaser to inform us immediately, and to also arrange for the insurance company to provide written confirmation to the finance provider that the vehicle is a total loss before an amount for settlement of the vehicle contract can be produced.
All negotiations with the insurance company must be done by the policy holder - and that is the Leaser.
As the whole process of a Leasing Contract is financial, finance companies will need to check your credit history, and as part of the leasing application process, you will be asked to submit a finance application. Business customers need to fill in a Business Finance Application form, while personal customers fill in a Personal Finance Application form.
Applying for vehicle finance is much like applying for a credit card or loan. The finance companies will investigate your credit history before making a decision whether to accept your application. But, basically, as long as you have a full UK driving licence, are aged 18 or over, are able to afford the monthly rentals and have a good to excellent credit score, there should not be a problem. At Nationwide Vehicle Contracts we are unable to assist businesses such as Taxi, Chauffeur, Driving Schools and Rental companies who wish to use the lease vehicle for "Hire & Reward" purposes. Some of our funders have also put in some additional restrictions when it comes to financing customers who work in the Motor Trade.
At around six months prior to the end of your contract, you will be contacted by the Nationwide Vehicle Contracts Renewals Team who will discuss with you your replacement options. Depending on the type of contract taken, you can hand the vehicle back, extend the contract, or purchase the vehicle from the finance company (dependent upon the funder).
If the vehicle is going back, it is up to the finance provider to arrange collection; which is normally the case with contract hire, personal contract hire, contract purchase or personal contract purchase agreements - unless you are purchasing the vehicle.
Who owns the vehicle at the end of the contract (You, your business or the finance company) all depends on the type of contract taken out.
When returning a car at the end of a contract, the biggest question that we are asked relates to what is considered 'normal’ wear and tear. Although each finance company provides its own guidelines as to what is acceptable wear and tear, based on the age and mileage of the vehicle, there are certain areas of the car that are inspected to check that these guidelines have not been exceeded - because if they have, then you will be liable to pay for the repair of any damage.
As a guide, we are talking about:
For more information on wear and tear, see our wear and tear guide.

After a VAR filled week of excitement, the Premier League returns this weekend for matchweek four. It’s the last matchweek before the international break, which will see two weeks off from the Premier League. For some, the rest will be needed, as a congested combination of League Cup, European and league ties means fitness is at risk. For others, though, the break isn’t much of a break at all. Plenty of teams have a collection of players who will get the call for international duty, and with many national teams playing three matches during the break, fitness issues may multiply.
Before the break, let’s take a look at what’s to come in another exciting weekend of Premier League football.
Match of the Week: Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur
One of the clubs dying for the break is Tottenham Hotspur. With three matches in the last week—league Sunday, League Cup Tuesday, Europa League Thursday—players have to be gassed. But there’s no rest for most of them. While Gareth Bale will be ready to debut and Son Heung-min will be ready to return after the break, most of the club will be playing in international ties. The biggest risk for Spurs is star man Harry Kane, who has barely rested during the season and captains the England side. Manager Jose Mourinho asked England manager Gareth Southgate to rest Kane, but Southgate refused to commit to that.
Manchester United are, of course, another club full of international superstars. They’ve struggled in the league as of late, though, finding themselves in 14th. Of course, they’ve played a match less than most of the league, but they’ve only won one against questionable opposition. Their first match of the season saw them lose in embarrassing fashion to Crystal Palace, 3-1. Last week, they left it late to grab a winner against Brighton. How late? A VAR check after the match had ended gave Bruno Fernandes a penalty, which he put away to win in the 100th minute.
Tottenham’s form, on the other hand, has been a bit more positive. Sunday saw a disappointing draw against Newcastle, caused by a questionable free kick that led to a questionable penalty, but the rest of the week has been positive. A win on penalties against Chelsea in the League Cup Tuesday was followed up by a win against Israeli side Maccabi Haifa Thursday. With midweek rotation, Tottenham should be able to put out a relatively strong side this weekend, so expect an entertaining clash between two of England’s biggest clubs.
Best of the Rest
Leeds United vs Manchester City
After an exciting loss to Liverpool matchweek one, newly promoted Leeds United have won their last two games. This weekend, they face another tough test. Manchester City have looked both like the best team in the world and a mid-table side since the restart last season, so it will be interesting to see how they come out against a fiery underdog Leeds side. Although they breezed to victory in the League Cup Wednesday, they’ll still be looking to bounce back from a tough loss on the weekend. Expect goals in this one. Leeds has a habit of scoring them.
Leicester City vs West Ham
Is it 2016 all over again? Once again Leicester find themselves on top of the Premier League table. Sure it’s only been three games, but things are looking good in the East Midlands. A 5-2 win over Manchester City shows they’re for real this season. As for their opponent, while West Ham were predicted to be relegation candidates at the beginning of the season, things are looking up for them. Last weekend saw a shock 4-0 win over Wolves, a team who were thought to be a potential European candidate. Was it just a flash in the pan for the Hammers, or will they be able to break the league leading Foxes?
Aston Villa vs Liverpool
The last match of matchweek four is a matchup between two top four sides. Aston Villa has been on a hot start, winning both of their opening matches. While they likely won’t last in the top four, they look like a completely different squad than the nearly relegated team of last season. As for Liverpool, they’ve done what they’re expected to do. The defending champions have won all three of their matches, with the only close call opening week against Leeds. They’re coming off a disappointing League Cup loss to Arsenal on penalties—days after beating them in the league—so expect them to be motivated against a strong Villa side.

Antique P is a province of the Philippines located in the Western Visayas region. Its capital is San Jose and is located at the western portion of Panay island, bordering Aklan, Capiz, and Iloilo to the east. Antique faces the Sulu Sea to the west.
Antique was one of the three old sakups (districts) of Panay before the Spanish colonizers arrived in the islands. The Antique was then known as Hantik, which was named from the large red ants found on the island, called lantik-lantik. (See History section below.)
Table of contents
People and Culture
Antique is subdivided into 18 municipalities.
Antique is mostly isolated from the rest of the island of Panay by the Cordilleras of the island. The province's borders with its three neighbors lie on the divide of this mountain range. Antique faces the northern portions of the Sulu Sea to the west. The Semirara Islands, located between Panay and Mindoro are part of Antique.
Early History: The Legend of Maragtas. Historians believe that the earliest people who settled on the island of Panay were tribal Negritos or Atis. The popular folk legend, Maragtas, gives an account of the early events in the province. The legend states that in 1212, ten Malay datus escaped persecution from Sri-Vishaya, a Hindu-Malay empire that existed at that time in Borneo and Sumatra. These datus, led by Datu Puti, sailed with their families and communities from Borneo northward and landed on Panay.
There, they met the Negrito chieftain, Marikudo. They bought the island from the chieftain for a golden saduk (headpiece or helmet), and a golden necklace, among other gifts. The Negritos then retreated to the mountains, while the Borneans settled in the lowlands. Today, the landing is commemorated every year in Antique in the Binirayan festival.
The island of Panay was then divided into three sakups (districts). These are Hantik, Aklan, and Irong-Irong. Aklan became the present-day Aklan and Capiz, Irong-Irong became Iloilo, and Hantik (also called Hamtik or Hamtic) became Antique. Hantik was named for the large red ants found on the island called lantik-lantik.
The sakup of Hantik was given to Datu Sumakwel, one of the ten datus, and who, according to tradition, was the oldest and wisest of them. The three sakups were later governed as a political unit called the Confederation of Madia-as, also under Datu Sumakwel.
Datu Sumakwel founded the town of Malandog, considered to be the first Malay settlement in the country. Malandog is now a barangay in the present-day municipality of Hamtic, which was named after the historic sakup.

Running causes you to exert more energy, which makes your body work hard to regulate your body temperature so that you don't overheat. After running, as you decrease the amount of energy spent and your heart rate and blood flow slows down, you may start to feel cold. While these feelings are normal, there are ways to help ease the transition from hot to cold.
Feel the Heat
Running, as well as any other cardio exercise that gets the heart pumping, causes your body to work hard in order to maintain an internal body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, or close to it. As a result, you breathe in more oxygen, your heart beats faster and your blood flows quicker in order to move warm blood away from internal organs. One way your body releases excess heat is through the skin, which may cause you to turn bright red or feel hot during and after running.
Feel the Cold
Sweat is another way your body handles excess heat. As your body temperature goes up, your brain sends signals to your sweat glands to release fluid immediately. Just like an air conditioning unit may become moist from condensation, your body secretes sweat to form on your skin. In the right conditions, the sweat will dry off and, therefore, help you cool off.
In order to prevent drastic changes in your body temperature, it is important to exercise in a cool environment. Compared to a moist, humid environment, a cool location will help promote the cooling effect of sweat. If running outdoors, choose a time that avoids the heat of the day or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Wear light colored, loose fitting clothing made out of breathable materials, such as cotton, in order to promote air circulation and help keep you from overheating. After you exercise, change out of sweat-soaked clothing to prevent feeling cold after you run.
If you experience excessive sweating after your run, or at inopportune and unpredictable moments throughout the day, you may suffer from hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Excessive sweating may affect the armpits, hands and feet. Mostly considered a genetic condition, certain medical conditions, medications, as well as illicit drugs may cause excessive sweating. Speak with your doctor to determine whether your excessive sweating is something to worry about. She may prescribe certain medication, antiperspirant or perform a medical procedure such as Iontophoresis which will turn off the sweat gland.

When starting truck in cold tempatures rpms start at 1500. After about 3 seconds they move to 1000 to 900. After another 2 seconds down to 700 to 800 then truck shakes alot, sputters, really rough and almost sounds like its going to die. After 10 seconds of that the rpms stay the same or go down alittle but the roughness and sputtering goes away after the engine has warmed up obviously. I have had this problem the last 2 years but keeps getting worse every winter ( minnesota). I have changed the fuel pressure regulator the last 2 years, plugs and wires done around 60,000 miles ( truck currently is at 84,000 miles). Need help not to get screwed by auto business.

We’re a different type of digital marketing agency. All those other guys are pitching you on creating a Facebook strategy, or trying to convince you to run banner ads, or explaining to you how video is the hot new thing. In other words, they’re focused on tactics and channels.
At Scribewise, we believe (rather strongly) that we have to figure out the story and understand the audience before we even begin to consider tactics.
We call it content-first digital marketing.
It flips the equation on its head. Instead of creating marketing that your brand wants to create, we create marketing that your audience wants to consume. Think about it: This is going to be way more successful.

A patient care team performs best when all voices harmonize and creative approaches are applauded.
Lifelong Learning in Clinical Excellence | May 11, 2020 | 3 min read
By Chase Webber, DO, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
“I’d like to run this new admission by you, if that’s OK. I’m worried about him. Can we go back and see him together?”
In the middle of a busy admitting day, our team’s resident asked for help. Even as more admissions and the call for early discharge and efficiency beckoned, she didn’t let “busyness” get in the way of patient care. Her words highlighted two of the greatest luxuries that clinicians have in medicine: the chance to go back and re-examine, and the ability to lean on team members in moments of uncertainty.
The patient was a 76-year-old male with Alzheimer’s dementia and Type 2 Diabetes, recently discharged with a PICC line and planned to receive IV Zosyn for bacteremia. The patient’s family became deeply concerned when they noted progressive fevers and lethargy for several hours and brought him in for evaluation. While the initial workup suggested sepsis, the source was unclear. Our team arrived at bedside and constructed a differential diagnosis ranging from common and straightforward diagnoses to more obscure causes of metabolic encephalopathy.
The most effective teaching teams share a certain tacit understanding, akin to neurons firing on different sides of the brain. While medical education remains focused on content and competency acquisition at the individual level, learners in teams practice contextual and collective competency. Medical students who work in pairs are not only more confident, but also less likely to commit diagnostic errors than those who work individually. This form of actualized learning approaches expert performance, in the way that a group of concert violinists or chess masters performs expertly. What begins as a call and response finds its fulfillment when team members are “in tune” not only with each other, but with their patients.
How can we help learners achieve this state of performance at every turn?
Perhaps by examining one of the most time-honored traditions of medicine—rounding. Common wisdom holds that the history of rounding dates to the time of Osler, who made rounds not only grand, but emphasized the patient as the perpetual focal point of medical education. Indeed, the Octagon Ward at Johns Hopkins Hospital serves as a physical testament and reminder of this history.
But like much in medicine, the search for an answer leads to a deeper story. 1,600 years earlier, during the time of Galen, the Roman temple dedicated to healing in Pergamon featured a round orientation whose circular design “allowed the patients to walk in a never-ending procession.” The temple in Pergamon itself drew inspiration from The Pantheon—a noble classical lineage that remains intact and reborn today each time a team of physicians-in-training walks together with their patients.
Medicine is like music
Medicine, practiced expertly, is like music. It challenges us to broaden our minds and hearts. Three miles down the road from Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville stands a legendary music venue: The Bluebird Café. In this small, unassuming “listening room” located in a strip mall, live music is the nightly special. But it’s not just any live music. At The Bluebird, a unique format known as “In the Round” features the “heroes behind the hits,” where three select songwriters alternate between singing lead on their own songs and playing backup and rhythm support as the others take the mic. Each writer in turn shares her unique voice and the story behind the song. These are masters of their craft bringing only their best, seven nights a week. You may not recognize the songwriters by name. But just wait for the first notes of the music, that initial melody and verse, and suddenly something special happens—those in the audience not only listen to the music, but experience a creative union of songwriter, story, and song.
Perhaps we need to redefine rounds to be more like a musical round—where each team member’s voice is not only heard but recruited into a whole greater than the sum of its parts. In this “musical” or creative form of rounding, interdisciplinary collaboration is valued above all, and at its center is the patient. In the case of our patient with sepsis, our team was able to clinch the diagnosis of occult fungemia days before his blood cultures turned positive. By heeding the resident’s call of concern, our team activated a heightened frame of mind that experts call intuition. For both ourselves and the patient, arriving at an accurate diagnosis was music to our ears.
