I’ve mentioned in the past being a rather large Red Sox fan. Yesterday, some interesting news came out from Red Sox Nation. Tim Wakefield, the Red Sox player with the longest tenure, is injured and won’t be able to pitch as scheduled tomorrow. For those who might not be familiar with Wakefield, he’s a pretty unique talent in baseball. He’s one of two major league players (that I know of) who throw the knuckleball. In a world where other players are trying to throw the ball 100 miles per hour, Wakefield is successful “tossing” the ball to the plate at a mere 65-70 mph. The knuckleball pitcher is so uncommon in modern baseball that ESPN had a story about how they’ll help each other out – even if they are on competing teams.
The interesting news is that the Red Sox are replacing Wakefield with another knuckleball pitcher from their farm system, Charlie Zink. The odds of that astound me. Zink isn’t being called up as some kind of publicity stunt – he’s simply one of the best pitchers the Red Sox have available.
The story takes a twist more bizarre than the knuckleball itself. I was reading up on Charlie Zink trying to get to know him a bit. I found this question and answer with Zink. Zink didn’t play baseball until he was 11 (by that time I had been retired from baseball for 4 years). He saw a baseball game and became fascinated by a pitcher able to dominate the opposing team, with a slow pitch. That pitcher… Tim Wakefield… the same guy he’ll replace.
For a number of years, I have thought, “If I get bored enough, I’ll learn how to throw a knuckleball and get a few million dollars a year playing baseball.” In fact, I remember telling a co-worker this just last year. Of course it’s not quite that simple – in fact throwing a knuckleball well is extremely difficult. Competing in professional sports typically requires an extreme amount of athleticism. I love the fact that someone without great strength, speed, or reaction time can compete at a top level.
Why is Zink my hero? He was undrafted, almost out of baseball. He stuck through with it and if all goes well, will be doing his dream job and getting paid well to do it. He has also succeeded despite all his coaches telling him that he should give up on the knuckleball. That kind of perseverance gives me motivation that I can succeed with blogging.
On the other hand, if he pitches horribly today, at least he has a pretty cool name.
The whole knuckleball fraternity is awesome though, I’m happy for them. I went to a cage with a speed gun once and threw as hard as I could… I think of three tries I broke 60 once and nearly threw out my arm.
I guess that’s like the Bill Buckner. Everyone blames the wrong guy. Wakefield was slated to the playoff MVP that year if the bullpen holds the lead – and he had already held it for one inning.
Tip your cap to the Yankees for having a bullpen that only gave up 1 run in 8 innings after Clemens pulled his typical playoff choke.
Another amazing feat, besides throwing the knuckler, is catching it! Those catchers are truly amazing. Most major league pitchers who don’t throw the knuckleball can pretty much pinpoint their pitches within several inches. Not so with the knuckleball. That’s the secret of its success — NOBODY knows where the thing’s going to go, most especially the catcher (who HAS to catch it).
Are they still going to stick with Zink now that they traded for Paul Byrd? | 171311825 |

Anyone who has ever met or read anything I have written will know that I adore anything Tom Ford, well over at the Tom Ford fragrance labs they have been very busy! They are introducing brand new elements never before seen in a Tom Ford fragrance in the new collection.
The Les Extraits Verts collection has lots of green notes which were hugely popular in the 1970’s, but as always Tom Ford has interpreted them in a way that makes them thoroughly modern yet nostalgic all at the same time.
My favourite in the collection is Vert Bohème, this is of course because it is the one with the most floral notes including magnolia and Gustavia Superba, known as “the Tree of Heaven” which blossoms for one day of the year there’s also notes hyacinth, white honeysuckle, narcissus and violet leaf bloom. There are citrus notes of Sicilian mandarin, Italian lemon and Calabrese bergamot. The base of the fragrance has woody scents oakmoss along with vetiver and light roasted oakwood giving the final scent a beautifully citrus amber fragrance.
Vert D’Encens this one opens with a really fresh pine, lavender and basil scent with underlying notes of bergamot and lemon. Then the green notes come in with spicy cardamon and jasmine and Boxtree accord gives it its leather luxury feeling. This is my second favourite of the collection. It was inspired by the Corsican coast which is known as the Perfumed Isle because of all the beautiful fragrances that you find there. *note to self must get to Corsica soon.
The final fragrance in the collection is Vert des Bois. The is the woodiest of the three, and this one have an ingredient that has never been used before, I’d expect nothing less from Tom Ford, poplar bud extract, unopened buds that give an avant-garde edge to a traditional green fragrance note. There are some floral notes of jasmine to give it its white floral heart but there is a spicy woodiness of pepperwood and a dose of citrus and oakwood absolute, which is obtained by lightly toasting oak chips to amply its woodiness.
All three fragrances are available in two sizes, 50ml with a RRP of €188.00 and the really extravagant 250ml with a RRP of €425.00. They will be available on August 29th from Brown Thomas. | 19634485 |
New York, NY, August 8, 2016 (Newswire.com) - After winning nine major awards in 2015, and two awards at the London International Film Festival 2016, Maria Soccor’s Lords of BSV made its digital television debut on July 31, 2016 on Red Bull TV and is now available on VOD (Video On Demand http://www.redbull.tv/film/AP-1NQTVU81H1W11/lords-of-bsv). Lords of BSV is the latest addition to the online media platform from the Austrian Red Bull company which broadcasts live global events, and an extensive selection of sports, music and lifestyle entertainment.
Lords of BSV tells the inspiring story of the breathtaking Brukup dancers in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of New York City. As the film is viewed across the world on Red Bull TV, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has chosen the celebrated documentary to be showcased at a special celebration in September 2016 at the Newark CityPlex Theatre owned by NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal.
Soccor is especially honored to be recognized in her hometown: Newark, New Jersey. Earlier this year, Lords of BSV continued its international winning streak by taking home two awards at the London International Film Festival 2016 (London IFF 2016) on February 26, 2016. The film was honored with the Jury Award for Best Documentary, and Best Cinematography In A Documentary Feature. The awards continued the tremendous acclaim Lords of BSV received in Europe as well as in America. In 2015, the film was named Best Feature Documentary at the Milan International Film Festival 2015, plus Soccor won Best Director of a Feature Documentary, and Lords of BSV was recognized for Best Music in a Feature Film, at the Madrid International Film Festival 2015. The film added to its list of honors by winning Best Documentary at the I Filmmaker International Film Festival in Marbella, Spain on December 8, 2015.
The international honors for the documentary directorial debut by actress/director/producer/comic creator Soccor followed five honors at American film festivals. In the United States, Lords of BSV was chosen Best Documentary at the 2015 Visionfest Film Festival in New York City and the Rahway International Film Festival 2015, received the Audience Award for Best Feature Documentary at the Hudson Valley International Film Festival 2015, and won the Jury Award for Best Documentary at the Long Island Film International Expo 2015. Also, Soccor received the Emerging Director Award at the Langston Hughes African American Film Festival 2015.
The founder of the Documentary Channel, acclaimed Emmy Award winner and Academy Award nominated director/producer Tom Neff, calls Lords of BSV, “an example of the finest in documentary filmmaking today.” “It is a perfect marriage of in-depth content with a unique approach to form," says Neff. "Maria Soccor followed her heart to create a unique vision of a unique art form while simultaneously developing a strong underlying theme of dance and art as a way out for inner city youth. Soccor's documentary is a definitive refutation to the stereotype of the inner city youth as violent and uncaring; these young artists are focused, involved, and determined to make a difference.” Neff continues, “Lords of BSV is extremely visual and engaging, impeccably researched and presented, and inspiring to the audience."
“As a first time director, I am humbled that Lords of BSV has received national and international recognition,” says Soccor, who produced the short film, Play House, which was screened at the 2013 South by Southwest Festival (SXSW). While Lords of BSV continues to gain accolades, Soccor’s short comedy Cinecoma, which she produced, has been picked up for distribution by Just the Story TV. Also, her new comic series SPEAR, illustrated by artist Rolo Ledesma, launched at the 2015 New York Comic Con in Manhattan.
As an actress, Soccor has appeared in over 20 movies, including Playmakers of New Orleans starring Zoe Saldana, in which she portrayed Tracey Austin, Saldana's sister. Her television credits include NCIS New Orleans on CBS, Another World on NBC, and K-Ville on Fox starring Anthony Anderson and Cole Hauser. Soccor is also a trained dancer, and she was inspired to document the stars of Lords of BSV after witnessing their unique talents. "It is the most fabulous urban artistry I've ever seen," Soccor says. "They are the most dynamic dancers in New York City."
Soccor’s goal in creating Lords of BSV was to erase the negative stigma and stereotypes about urban dancers.
"Dance gives them dignity, a sense of identity, and keeps them from lives of crime," she states. "There is tragedy throughout the entire film, yet the dance lifts them above the negativity surrounding them. Through dance, they find love for each other, and survive." She adds that the art form has tremendous positive social significance. "Brukup is not just a dance, it is a culture," she comments. "Through the art, the dancers overcome poverty and homelessness, becoming better people. BSV serves the community by keeping kids off the streets and showing them how to turn anger into the art of dance. Their dancing saves lives."
BSV provides a positive alternative to the negative spiral of street life, despite the lack of funding or facilities. "I want to show the world what they do, teaching students without classrooms, without schools." says Soccor. "My dream is that one day they will have a school to truly nurture and spread their gift."
Created in 1998, the Bed-Stuy Veterans (BSV) became kings of the Brooklyn underground dance culture. They are revivalists of a dance style known as Brukup, which originated in Jamaica, West Indies in the early 1990s from George “Brukup” Adams. Brukup is a hybrid dance chronicled in the New York Times that incorporates bone breaking, connecting, pausing, popping, mutation, morphing, ballet and hip-hop, mixed with theatrical miming.

It's been 10 years since Gretchen Wilson took the country music world by storm with her debut album, 'Here for the Party,' and in an interview with Taste of Country during 2014 CMA Awards week, the star shares memories of her very first CMAs.
"I just remember how nervous I was," she tells ToC's Billy Dukes.
"I didn't feel like I fit in. When you're just a little ol' trailer park, small town USA girl, you just kinda get that feeling that you ain't supposed to be here. These people are all different from me. Everybody just seemed classier than me ..." Wilson recalls. "You ever walked into some place where you're supposed to have on a suit and tie, and you're like, 'Ooh, I don't fit in here'? Well, that's kinda how I felt, I think, for the first little while. It took me a while to adjust to the industry."
Wilson has just released a new live CD/DVD titled 'STILL Here for the Party,' which celebrates the tenth anniversary of her debut album. The lead single, 'Chariot,' features her daughter, Grace.
"She was only four years old when I recorded that song the first time, and it was one that we didn't ever get around to releasing on the first album," she observes. "As we were putting this together, I asked her ... 'cause I always felt awkward about doing the rap in the middle of that song. It always made me feel a little bit uncomfortable, and since she's 13, I asked her if she would be willing to do that in the live DVD, and she said, 'Sure, no problem.'"
"But now, of course, in hindsight, she's like, 'Oh, Mommmm ... I don't want anyone to see it!'" Wilson adds with a laugh. "'Can we not show it to anyone?' I'm like, 'Ah, it's a little late for that.'"
Wilson is set to co-host 'The View' on Nov. 10. | 11066100 |
Hole In The Wall Campground offers picturesque sunsets and sunrises over the beautiful desert terrain in Mojave National Preserve. The night sky is covered in stars and I saw so many shooting stars I lost count. It is also an easy stop from Interstate 15 or 40.
You may think a desert is barren and ugly with little to offer the avid outdoorsman. The truth is very far from that. The Mojave, like any other great outdoor location offers great hikes, amazing views, wildlife, and a night sky that is hard to beat anywhere else. The Mojave just like all great deserts is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night. The sunsets and sunrises are remarkable as the sun strikes the glowing reds, burnt oranges and tans of the beautiful desert landscape. The night sky is so rich with stars, you see more light than black sky. Shooting stars race through the sky so frequently you lose count and a full moon turns night into day.
I was lucky enough to sleep under the stars at Hole in the Wall campground over the Thanksgiving holiday. The campsite gets its name from the 1000s of holes that dot the surrounding mountain walls. The campground is an easy place to stop if driving on Interstate 15 or 40. The campgrounds have pay stations you can access anytime and are rarely filled. The campsites are only 12 dollars and accept cash and personal check. This was my first visit to the Mojave during this time of year. The daytime temperature was a beautiful 63 degrees but at night it dropped to 23. A full moon lit up the desert landscape like I have never seen before. When I woke up early to take great sunrise photos, I was blessed with an amazing scene. Almost in unison, as the sun rose in the east, the full moon set in the west. I turned back and forth from the sun to the moon as they crested over the silhouetted mountains trying to take as many pictures as I could. I truly enjoyed my short one day trek into the Mojave and plan to return again soon. I highly recommend this trip for any outdoor or photography enthusiast.

My family and I spent two nights here during Super Bowl weekend, intentionally staying away from the television. We arrived around 8:30pm on a Friday night and easily navigated to one of the many open campsites and dropped our payment envelope in the kiosk. 12$ per night, collected by the camp host. Views of the sky from this part of the Mojave are breathtaking, unencumbered by light pollution from the city. The campsite was extremely quiet and all neighbors followed the "no noise after 7pm" rule. We had a fire pit, potable water and vault toilets within close range. We easily accessed the visitor center where both of my kids (6 & 8) completed the Junior Ranger Program and received their patches. Ranger Robert was very helpful and enthusiastic, stating our kids were his first ever to swear in as Junior Rangers! We completed the Rings Loop Trail with two dogs needing to be hoisted up in two areas, which made the adventure even more interesting. In addition to the Rings Trail, we explored many of the nearby geological formations, which were natural playgrounds for us all. After our second night, women up by the calls of wild cattle, we headed to Kelso Depot then onto the Lava Tube Trail en route to the 15 freeway. I highly recommend this adventure if you are seeking something kid and dog friendly away from the crowds! | 123199644 |
Yoshida, Isoya (1894–1974). Japanese architect. He made his name as a designer of timber houses, often discarding the logic of historical types, e.g. when creating windows in the corners of the buildings where traditionally they would have posts. From the 1950s he designed several public buildings, using concrete. Among his works the Sekiya House (1931), Shinkiraku Restaurant (1940–62), Ryuzaburo Umeharo Studio-House (1951–8), Suzuki House (1957), Inomata House (1967), Mangan-ji Temple (1969), Mikiya House (1971), and Prince Chichibu House (1972), all in Tokyo, may be cited. He sought to create a truly modern Japanese architecture, freed from International Modernism and other non-Japanese influences.

As part of the Long Term Ecological Research in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, meteorological data was collected from various locations throughout Beacon, Taylor, Wright and Victoria Valleys. These files contain daily averages for the data for the Garwood Ice Cliff meteorology station. This station reported data for about a year, during 2011. On January 10, 2012 the station was being transferred to the custody of the MCM LTER program by Joe Levy (UT), completing of the handover on the Austral summer of 2014. The GAFM station was moved ~5 m from its original site in 2013 (out of the stream bed).
Note, soil temperatures and surface changes did not offer good data as of now for this station - no averages are derived. | 189294171 |

Jehovah's Witness Literature: A Critical Guide to Watchtower Publications is an up-to-date review of more than 100 years of writings. Arranged chronologically, the book is divided into four main eras: the Russell era from 1879 to 1916, the Rutherford era from 1917 to 1942, the Knorr era from 1942 to 1977 and the Franz era from 1977 to 1992. Reed discusses the books, periodicals, booklets, tracts and pamphlets that were published during each period, and the pinpoints the place of each significant piece of literature in the historical development of the sect and its theology.
With a twice-monthly printing in excess of 16 million copies per issue, The Watchtower magazine now approaches the circulation of such all-time favorites as Reader’s Digest and T.V. Guide and easily outsells the combined total of Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report. Jehovah's Witness Literature will educate you on the message and intentions of Watchtower publications.
In view of the fact that JW literature is the chief means of propagating this false gospel, Christians engaged in defending the faith cannot afford to be ignorant of the books and magazines being delivered to their doors and to the doors of their relatives, friends, and neighbors. As Paul quoted Greek altar inscriptions and “your own poets” when he talked to the men of Athens, we may find it helpful to be familiar with what the Watchtower has written when we talk with Jehovah’s Witnesses (Acts 17:23, 28). But, since the sheer volume of such material is overwhelming, a guide to Jehovah’s Witness literature is needed. This book is intended to meet that need. | 165622116 |
The joy of members of the Miango community in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State knew no bounds as they came out in their numbers to witness the commissioning of a new borehole sank by the Catholic Archdiocese of Jos.
Performing the brief but historic ceremony on December 8, 2017, which featured a special prayer for peace and appeal for reconciliation, the Archbishop of Jos, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama expressed happiness amidst the unprecedented crowd that gathered to witness the ceremony. He stressed the importance of water to humanity and appealed to the beneficiary to make good use of the borehole noting that water should be seen as a unifying factor.
Kaigama used the medium to condole the community over the recent attacks by gun men which led to the death of many souls and condemned in totality those behind the heinous act and pray for unity, love, peace and understanding among them all. He solicited for peace among them saying God has a purpose of bringing all the different ethnic groups together.
On his part, the paramount ruler of Irigwe land, Bra Ngwe, Irigwe, Rtd. Rev. Ronku Aka while welcoming the Archbishop, appreciated the kind gesture of the Catholic Church and prayed God for more blessings, saying they waited for long for the day the community would enjoy good water.
Also speaking, Secretary of the Local Government Council, Sir John Tanko thanked the church for such a kind gesture. He said they were deeply touched by the act, maintaining that it would further strengthen their love for one another.
Earlier in his address, Parish Priest of St. William’s Parish, Kwall, Rev. Fr. Matthew Danboyi thanked the Archbishop for his magnanimous spirit towards humanity and the church and prayed for better days as he pilots the affairs of the Archdiocese.
The event was witnessed by dignitaries including the District Head of Miango, Daniel Chega, District Head of Kwall, Mallam Halabiti Dodo, former Education Secretary, Chief Andrew Iza, amongst others.

Hi all you 5 Out of 4 Pattern fans! I’m excited to be able to show you my version of the fleece pullover! And there’s a sale! All patterns are 30% off! Read on through to get the discount code.
Disclaimer: I received the pattern for free for participating in the tour. Confession: I am completely addicted to participating in blog tours; they help me to actually complete projects and stick to deadlines! All opinions are my own of course! This post may contain affiliate links. All affiliate links are marked with an asterisk *. For more information on my use of affiliate links check the Disclaimer – Legal Info tab under the About tab.
This is my first time using a pattern from 5 Out of 4 Patterns* but it won’t be the last! I’ve been eyeing the Agility tank and the riptide shorties -they would make a great swimsuit paired up! And I could use a fleece pullover* for myself.
Miss V love love LOVES owls. So I found this owl fleece on Fabric.com as I couldn’t find any locally. (And of course added in some stuff for me, I won’t lie, although with the exchange rate and getting hit with duty fees for the first time I may be sticking to the local shops for the time being.) The owls are HUGE btw. I thought they were going to be only like 2-3 inches but some are like 10″! (My mistake I didn’t look at the ruler in the listing). So I decided to make the plain front version so that I could showcase at least some of the owls in full. She was so excited I was making her another owl shirt that she wanted to wear it before I had even added the sleeves! (Other owl tops/outfits I made are here, here, and one I apparently never blogged).
Miss V is in between sizes 2 and 3 so I sewed up the size 3. The sleeves are a little long on her, but I won’t bother adjusting them as I figure she’ll grow into the length eventually. Otherwise the fit is great. It’s roomy enough to layer over another shirt.
The pattern has two versions: the plain front like I made and a fun colour-blocked version. I definitely will try the colour-block version when I can get some fleece in a smaller print. It also has optional side pockets as well as an optional hidden pocket if making the second version.
I messed my zipper installation up somewhat. Tried to pick it apart and stabbed myself in the thumb right at the edge of the nail bed (Bled for days. No, not really, I exaggerate, but 12 hours later it still hurt). While resewing it I broke a needle. The little piece of needle is somewhere under the bobbin holder. After trying in vain to fish the tiny piece out, I gave up and finished it up and left any new bad stitching around the zipper stay. In hindsight I probably should have used a stronger needle to handle all the layers during the zipper installation. I should have probably found a magnet to help me get the tip of the needle out.
So, I would rate the Fleece Pullover* an advanced beginner/intermediate pattern. With the zipper installation being the trickiest aspect, if you’re more experienced at doing zippers it should be easier for you.
Get 30% off any 5 Out of 4 patterns* until January 17th 2016 using the code “fleeceforall” now through Jan 17th as they celebrate their 1 year anniversary!
You can purchase your own copy of any of the 5 out of 4 patterns here* for 30% using the code “fleeceforall” now through Jan 17th as they celebrate their 1 year anniversary!
Don’t forget if you’re shopping online to sign into your Ebates account! You can get cash back on all purchases on Fabric.com, usually 3% but sometimes they run specials and it’s more. If you don’t already have an account you can sign up here if you’re in the US: Ebates.com* or here if you’re in Canada: Ebates.ca*. (Or do both like me) In the past year I’ve earned back roughly $50, and it probably would have been more but I have a bad habit of forgetting to click my links first, lol. Don’t be like me!
Love the owls! So cute!
Soooo cute! I love those eyes….

Whether you can do this or not, it's important to make people think you can.
We’ve all been there. You’re meeting a group of people for the first time, and the conversation turns to outdoor sports. You’re desperate to impress them, but the extent of your wilderness experience is limited to that time you peed in the bushes at Coachella because the lines for the Porta-Potties were too long.
One by one, your new would-be friends wax nostalgic about the time they slept under the northern lights, the time they almost died BASE jumping in the French Alps, or the time they free soloed the peak of Half Dome in a thunderstorm while rescuing a black bear cub. Then someone asks about your most extreme adventure, and you tell your Coachella story, embellishing the bit about the thornbushes and gesturing to the areas where you got poison oak, and then it’s silent for what seems like minutes until someone finally coughs and changes the subject.
To prevent this situation from happening again, try these simple tricks to becoming the mountain man, woman or goat you’ve always wished you were.
2. Invest in multiuse garments. Your pants must zip off into shorts. This is especially important since they will be the only pair you own. Dress like you could be forced to go off the grid at any time.
3. Develop an air of smugness about environmental issues. Say things like “leave no trace” when exiting parties, and if you have to go out, ask your bartenders to serve you an organic gin and tonic in your new steel canteen. If they refuse, lecture them about the gallons of water wasted annually from cleaning “lightly used” glasses.
4. Throw away your razor. You may no longer remove hair from any part of your body and must instead oil it regularly so it shines. Like your new steel canteen.
5. Your new hobby is clamming. Tell your new friends that you love the rain, and that foraging for your own food makes you feel connected to the Earth, and reminds you of the summers you spent hitchhiking along the Oregon Coast.
7. If anyone asks, your favorite places to travel are South America and any country that has more than seven vowels. Have a prepared bucket list of places you’d like to travel and (this is very important) know where they are on a map. Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland, Bolivia is not part of Russia, and Machu Picchu is not a Pokémon character. Also very important, Mordor and Middle Earth are not real places. Do not include those on your list.
8. Take up at least one outdoor sport, and be sure to store all necessary equipment on the roof of your new Subaru Outback. If your asthma prevents you from taking up trail running, choose rock climbing. If your fear of heights eliminates rock climbing as an option, choose scuba diving. If you can’t swim either, well, work on cultivating your inner artistic loner instead. | 178422032 |
Are you sending your prospects a greeting card this Thanksgiving?
1. At Christmas, people are hit with more greeting letters and promotions than any other time of the year. As a result, your marketing message gets substantially diluted.
2. At Thanksgiving, very few marketers are sending direct mail (compared to Christmas). But ironically, it's the biggest shopping season of the year!

A note about Fretless Zithers: HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of these were produced and sold, and I understand that 99% of you who found me naturally have a question on your "treasure." I love these as well - however, they have very little value. If you MUST know the value, check eBay once a week and you will likely find yours or one similar. If you want it restored, it is not worth the money. If you want to re-string and play it, see here. Note that both Kelly Williams of the Guitar Zither Clearinghouse and Garry Harrison of FretlessZithers.com have both retired, and until their sites hosting plans lapse, remain the best and only source of information on the topic.

Bernunzio Vintage Instruments: I've gotten several instruments from John Bernunzio. He's been around for ages and always has the best selection of the more obscure banjos, ukes, etc.

At Teesing we feel delivering quality products and quality service to our customers is one of our key competences. Therefore we measure our quality performance and abstracted it to one key performance indicator: how long does it take us to, when a complaint is filed by one of our customers , to solve it to our customers satisfaction.
We believe that relationships in general are based on trust and transparency. This vision combined with our customer focused approach, we decided to share this key performance indicator with you. As you can see in this graph below, it shows a steady decreasing trend in the time that we need to solve the complaints that are filed by our customers. Besides the duration, we also managed to improve our service-level in general which results in a reduction of the amount of complaints in total. We will continue improving our services and reduce complaints even more in future, like our high tech lean lifts that were placed this year.
If you have complaints, please let us know.The more harmonious the connections, the better a system works. This goes for both technical processes and people-to-people relationships!

A man who allegedly planned a terrorist attack in Cleveland last July has additionally been charged with attempting to provide material support to al Qaeda, making threats against the President and his family, and lying to law enforcement, federal officials announced Wednesday.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice Northern District of Ohio, Demetrius Nathaniel Pitts, who also goes by the names Abdur Raheem Rafeeq and Salah ad-Deen Osama Waleed, was indicted after he was picked up last July 1 for allegedly plotting to blow up a Fourth of July parade, targeting members of the military and their families. At the time, he was charged with attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization. Those charges were modified Wednesday to specify al Qaeda was the intended recipient.
“Pitts on June 15, 2018, did knowingly and willfully make a threat to kidnap and inflict bodily harm upon Donald J. Trump, specifically that he would ‘get’ the President by cutting off the President’s head and hands,” the Justice Department said in a statement. “Pitts on June 15, 2018 also knowingly and willfully made threats to kidnap and inflict bodily harm upon members of the President’s family, specifically that ‘…a better way to get, to get him is to kill his kids. Kill his daughter, son-in-law. Kill ’em all. He (the President) come out ’cause you start killing his kids, chop their heads off…you send his kids back,” the statement said, quoting the indictment.

In the closing days of Nevada's legislative session, a bill was passed that called for the state's Public Employees' Retirement System to make known which of its investments are in companies that do business in Iran.
While we certainly harbor no affection for the ruling regime in Iran and usually applaud any efforts made to open up state government, this particular bill uses transparency as a cover for something far more insidious.
Constitutional provisions prohibit the Nevada Legislature from dictating how money in the Public Employees' Retirement System is invested. However, in the final days of the recent legislative session, state lawmakers passed a law attempting to do exactly that.
Assembly Bill 493 would require NV PERS to delineate the portion of its investments maintained in companies that do business in Iran. While this requirement does not allow legislators to direct precisely how PERS assets are invested, the intent is clear. As Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford said, "transparency changes behavior."
The Nevada Policy Research Institute has long advocated greater transparency in government and in no way opposes sunlight on the investment decisions of NV PERS. However, legislative leaders have indicated an intention behind Assembly Bill 493 that goes beyond simple transparency. Clearly the intent is to isolate for inspection only some particular investments — those that individual lawmakers either view with personal disdain or see laden with opportunities for political grandstanding.

Tom Tangney makes his best guess for what will be this year’s top Seattle International Film Festival entries.
Whit Stillman’s first film, “Metropolitan,” is often described as a late 20th-century version of a Jane Austen novel, so it seems more than fitting that 25 years later, he tries his hand at the real thing – an adaptation of an Austen novella published many years after her death. It’s a truth universally acknowledged that this should be a match made in heaven.
A partly animated documentary that uses eyewitness interviews to help recreate the experience of this country’s first mass school shooting, the 1966 massacre at the University of Texas.
This could, of course, be cringingly bad but you also have to admit you’re probably more than a little curious to see how this film will handle the subject matter, Barack Obama’s and Michelle Robinson’s very first date.
Who knew there’s more to tell about the Anthony Weiner scandal? This award-winning Sundance documentary follows Weiner during his failed run for New York City mayor. I’ve been lucky enough to already see this and it’s not only endlessly entertaining but surprisingly insightful about life in politics as well.
Director Todd Solondz is the master of unsettling comic cinema (“Happiness,” “Palindromes”) and his latest film sounds amusingly subversive. Greta Gerwig, Danny DeVito, and Julie Delpy star in a movie told from the point of view of a dachsund.
Irish filmmaker Mark Cousins is rightfully famous for his mammoth, globe-trotting 15-hour documentary on the history of cinema, “The Story of Film.” Now he’s zeroing in on a single subject and a single place, the city of Belfast, Ireland. By enlisting the cinematographer of one of the most beautiful films ever made (Christopher Doyle, “In the Mood for Love”), Cousins has raised my hopes extremely high for this 84-minute documentary.
One of the prides of local cinema, Megan Griffiths, is back with a dark thriller about a real-life serial killer, played by Lou Diamond Phillips. Having already proven herself adept with edgy, violent material in “Eden,” Griffiths may find herself dubbed a master (mistress?) of “disturbing subject matter,” if “The Night Stalker” succeeds too.
Oliver Hirschbiegel, the German director of one of the great Hitler movies, “Downfall,” is back again with another Hitler-focused movie, this time a real-life thriller about the attempt to assassinate the Furher.
From the sounds of it, this comedy couldn’t be more relevant. A failing ski resort in far-flung Norway decides to save itself from financial ruin by becoming a state-funded refugee center.
North Korea is about as closed-off a society that exists on the planet, so any documentary glimpse should be of some real value. Russian filmmaker Vitaly Mansky is given access to one Pyongyang family’s efforts at becoming ideal patriots. Government interference to that access is also dutifully recorded in the film. | 59556682 |
It was always a 20th-century dream that there will be an era when every electrical apparatus at home will be controlled by a single click from any web enabled device, such as a PC, tablet, or smart TV, from everywhere. Τhis era has come, and today we will present you with a way to control any electrical device with a single click from any other device that has access to the web.
We will use a spotlight as an example, but this could be easily substituted with a refrigerator, a washing machine, or an electric coffee pot, for example. We did one simplification, however, which is to electrify the spotlight with 12V DC instead of 220V AC current, primarily for safety reasons. We encourage the users of this guide to do the same, as it is very easy to expose oneself to hazardous electric shocks!
The relay module we use with the ODROID-C2 in this project can easily be connected to a 220V power source, driving any electric device (up to 10A). Experienced users can try to work with these voltages, making sure to take all safety precautions. Let us delve into the endless potential of the ODROID-C2.
The design of this project is very simple, and the Songle relay plays the most critical role. We have connected the GND of the Songle relay with the pin6 of ODROID-C2 (GND). The VCC pin of the relay is connected directly to pin2 of ODROID-C2, which provides 5V to this circuit and electrifies the electric coil of the relay). Finally, the INT1 pin of the relay is connected with pin7 of our ODROID, which is the pin that actually controls the relay, which is the ONs and OFFs of this device. From the other side of the Songle relay, there is a simple switch on which we have connected the spotlight through the battery or the mains. Please refer to the schematic in Figure 1 for a clear idea of this circuity. As a technical reference regarding the ODROID-C2 pins, we have used the excellent PIN Map provided by Hardkernel at http://bit.ly/2aXAlmt. According to this map, pin2=5V, pin6=GND and pin7=GPIOX.BIT21 (General Purpose Input/Output Pin). All of the connections were made by using the Dupon female-to-female, male-to-male or male-to-female wires. Now that our hardware is ready, let us see how to build the software and bring it all together.
We used the free CoffeeCup HTML editor to design a simple HTML web page for controlling the spotlight. On this page, we added the images of two buttons in order to control the spotlight, represented by the ON and the OFF buttons. Please refer to Figure 2 for a view of this page. The whole project is controlled by using a Web UI. In order to achieve this, we have hyperlinked those buttons to the relevant Python scripts songleon.py and songleoff.py that control the ON and OFF of the spotlight. Instructions on how to write those programs in Python are provided on the section called “Connecting the Application to the Web below.
When you finally design your website, make sure that your home page is called index.php and not index.html, just to keep things uniform. However, we are only going to be using two PHP scripts, songleon.php and songleoff.php, to control the spotlight. The Python and PHP code we need to write is very simple and well documented.
In order to use the ODROID-C2 as a web server in this project, we have to install all of the necessary server software components. In addition, since we want a simple HTML server, we will install Apache with PHP (server-side scripting-language) support on the ODROID-C2. The following steps can be performed with PuTTY. Accessing the ODROID-C2 with this SSH client is well documented. All you need is the ODROID-C2’s IP address.
You will see a page similar to one shown in Figure 3.
Navigate to http://server-ip-address/testphp.php. It will display all the details about PHP such as, version, build date and commands, to name a few. Pleaser refer to Figure 4 below.
By now, you should have a website that you can transfer over to the ODROID-C2. Once you have performed all the previous steps and have verified that you can view your website on another computer, we can move onto making the website turn ON our lamp using the 5V 1/2/4/8 Channel Relay Board Module ARM AVR DSP PIC.
Go back to your web page in design/edit mode, and make sure the hyperlink for your “on” button links to the songleon.php. Now, when you click the button, the songleon.php script will execute the songleon.py python script, resulting in the lamp turning on. We are finally ready to make it turn off.
Add a hyperlink to songleoff.php to your “off” button, which should make your lamp turn off. You now have a website that can control your lights!
Let’s see if everything is working. From your computer, laptop, or tablet, navigate to your ODROID-C2’s IP address in the browser, and click the “on” button. Are your spotlights lightening up your room? Now it’s the click the “off” button. Click it and see your room’s spotlight switched off. Success!
We could give you further guidance on how to control any electrical device remotely from the office, during travelling, or you are in an emergency. This is not a difficult step now that you’ve got the basic circuit working in your local network, but be advised that such a step comes with a security risk. Hackers may be interested in controlling your server by taking advantage of a weak password, a commonly used port, or wrong router settings. For that reason, we advise you to make your network secure and even change the password for the user ODROID-C2 to a stronger one if you are implementing electric device control. You now have the knowledge you need to build something innovative and inspiring for you and your peers. | 316395500 |
GOVERNMENT has told residents who owe local authorities in unpaid bills and rates to pay up or risk facing legal action, including debt collectors, saying the era where residents expect a free service in an environment where everything has a cost has ended.
Local authorities are owed in excess of $1 billion in unpaid bills by residents, Government, industry and commerce, a situation which has adversely impacted on service delivery.
Basic services such as refuse collection have largely remained in disarray.
Permanent secretary in the Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing Mr George Magosvongwe told our Harare Bureau on the sidelines of a meeting between Government and Harare City Council at Town House on Tuesday that residents are obliged to pay for the services they receive from local authorities.
“There is a relationship between the ratepayer and local authorities. The obligation of a local authority is to provide a service, to create democratic environment where people express themselves freely and to ensure that people live practical lives that are effective and amount to an improved standard at any given stage in any given year,” said Mr Magosvongwe.
Government believes there is a need to inculcate in residents the value of paying bills.“We have to commit ourselves to paying for the services that we demand. In any case, we have families that we must look after and those families require the services of which we must pay. It may be that we are talking about economics and we are saying things are difficult, but your life is not as difficult as you say it is; if you are alive, you have to find a way of living your life,” he said.
Government has since put paid to expectations that debts will be cancelled, especially before this year’s harmonised national elections.
It is believed that councils lost more than half a billion dollars after the 2013 debt write off.
The 2013 decision, Government said, crippled most councils and measures were being considered to help the affected local authorities.
Last year, City of Harare rued the decision that was made by Government to temporarily discontinue the relationship between the local authority and Wellcash Debt Collectors, which had helped pull in more than $23 million from indebted residents.
Harare Mayor councillor Bernard Manyenyeni recently said the city’s revenue continues to decline, as monthly collections of between $12 million and $13 million are markedly below the budgeted $24 million. | 302370978 |

Following the exodus of Mosul’s Christian community as a result of threats by the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS), on Monday the Sunni insurgents declared that Christians could remain in or return provided they pay US$450 per person.
ISIS’s leader in Mosul released a statement stating that the Christians that have left the city can return if the agree to pay IQD 550,000 ($450) to ISIS.
On July 18, ISIS warned Christians in Mosul to leave the city by July 19 at 12pm or face death.
On Friday, a large number of Christians began to evacuate the city as a result of the threats. Signs branding their homes as ‘Christian homes’ were found throughout the city.
According to information obtained by BasNews, since ISIS tool control of Mosul, about 4,500 Christians has left the city and only about 200 of them remain under ISIS control. | 239189111 |

New Orleans City Council has regulatory authority of its investor owned electric and gas utility: Entergy New Orleans.
The Council has constitutional legislative authority to not only regulate but also enact policy, which is greater authority than most other (state) commissions. This kind of authority puts the City Council in a powerful position, poised to shape the energy future of New Orleans for the benefit of its citizens.
New Orleans residents benefit from having a regulator with a broad purview that extends beyond utility matters to consider intersecting issues like transportation, and community and economic development.
The Utility Committee is composed of 5 of the 7 Council members, headed by a chair. The full council votes following a Utility Committee recommendation.
The Council’s job as regulator is to balance public interests, including residential, government, commercial, and industrial customers, with the interest of the utility, which is given an opportunity to earn a reasonable profit. The public interest is broad and includes affordability, reliability, resilience, environmental and economic impact.
As the regulator of a monopoly, the Council sets rates and makes decisions about costs the utility is allowed to charge to customers through those rates, such as power plants, system upgrades, and energy efficiency programs. The Council also sets Entergy New Orleans’ allowed profit margins.
In addition to its regulatory responsibilities, the Council is empowered to enact far reaching legislative policy on matters like efficiency, rooftop solar, reliability and rate structure. It is the Council’s responsibility to define a vision for how New Orleans will meet its future energy needs.
Major changes are taking place in the utility sector and transforming how we generate power and meet our energy needs. As energy efficiency, rooftop solar, and other demand side (or distributed) energy resources become popular with customers, regulation will need to change with it to ensure customers receive service that balances a host of societal benefits with cost, and of course the utility business.
The Council may investigate utility practices if there is concern the utility is doing things that are imprudent. A docket that requires the utility to prove they have acted in a prudent manner is called a “Show Cause” proceeding. Entergy may be required to defend a decision that impacted ratepayers related to system planning, outages, or costs.
Since 2007, the Council has adopted a series of increasingly comprehensive resolutions banning sitting Council members from accepting campaign contributions from Entergy and companies or individuals with contracts related to the Council’s authority over utilities, including their advisors. These protections are vital to keep New Orleans City Council free from conflicts of interest and we encourage all Council candidates to do the same.
The Entergy New Orleans system experiences outages almost daily, which impacts business, health, and quality of life for customers, and causes damage to computer equipment and appliances. The Council is currently investigating the causes of these frequent outages and reliability problems, and expects the utility to find and implement solutions. We do know that over 95% of the outages experienced in New Orleans are related to the distribution system, rather than power plant issues, and we are encouraged that the Council sees the need for hardening and updating the grid.
ENO has proposed to build a new $200M+ gas power plant in New Orleans East and is pushing for a decision with very little time to consider the facts. Since the proposed plant was first announced, community members near the Michoud area have raised health and environmental concerns and many have called for a careful review of alternative choices. It is important that the Council first take the time necessary to get all the facts related to the city’s need, potential cost impacts, and whether alternative resources could better serve customers, then make a decision.
In 2018, Entergy New Orleans will file a “Rate Case” to the council that will set electricity prices for all of New Orleans. Entergy is expected to include a request to raise rates for all customers, but is likely to hit residents hardest. Some charges to residents may jump 20%. Careful scrutiny is required to ensure customers are not overcharged. Meanwhile, rate-making is a valuable opportunity to look for creative ways to incentivize the utility to improve service.
A major energy saving program of the New Orleans City Council, Energy Smart is administered by Entergy. The Council has recently directed the utility to substantially expand the size of the Energy Smart programs until they are approximately six times larger than today, thereby reducing bills for all customers. The Council is hiring an independent consultant to find the best ways of reaching this goal and to maximize overall energy saving for the city. In addition, the Council is considering targets to reduce peak demand through demand side management. We support all of these Council actions.
Currently, Entergy New Orleans has installed 1 MW of renewable energy to serve its customers, and has committed to acquiring another 100 MW of clean renewable energy in the future. So far, the adoption of solar, wind, and other renewables has been slow by Louisiana utilities, while residents and businesses in New Orleans have installed nearly 40 MW on their own rooftops. The Council can, and should, set clear goals for adoption of affordable carbon-free energy. It is important to do so in the near future to capture existing federal incentives and historically low renewable energy prices.
The Council’s policy of public, transparent, and integrated resource planning is a triennial process that seeks to determine the best 20 year plan for meeting our energy needs. Fall 2017 is the beginning of the 4th cycle of IRP, and Council policies relating to affordability, renewables, efficiency, and climate will all be considered in this round.
The Council recently resolved to commit New Orleans to the Paris Climate agreement, and to “dramatically reduce” carbon emissions. These are worthy resolutions, and follow up will be necessary to lay out specific targets and goals to move the city toward fulfilling the commitments and protecting our future. | 144257969 |

I’ve already written about why I love books and everything there still stands, but the truth is there’s more to it than that, as I’m sure most folks who enjoy writing will tell you.
Even when it’s unintentional, it also gives the writer the opportunity to make social commentary (for lack of a better word). While I doubt you would find anything most folks would call “social commentary” in my first book, it was intentionally morally ambiguous, leaving questions that as an individual you needed to ponder, applying your own social and moral values to the situation. I like that I get to ask deep (potentially thoughtful) questions, while at the same time unveiling my opinion on the subject, even if it is not necessarily directly apparent.
You see, the thing is I utterly despise people who make constant inane social commentary on the various social mediums I frequent. Most times, they’re delusional at best, following the latest in a long line of demagogues incapable of critical thinking on their own. On the occasions that they are, they will find people who are not constantly arguing with them. I suppose some folks find the conversations intellectually stimulating (or perhaps they like trolling), but I for one do not, so the majority of the time I ignore them and go on about my day.
Were it public and up front, my social commentary would be brutal. I can’t understand how politicians can continue to get elected on a platform of “we want the other side to lose” rather than “we want to do what our voters need”. I can’t understand the hypocrisy that comes from all sides in government. Our country is falling apart before our eyes, and everyone is so blind trying to beat the other guy, everyone forgot there was a government to run. I can’t understand anyone who thinks the Republicans are 100% right on all issues, much like I can’t understand how anyone thinks the Democrats are either. I believe if our founding fathers saw the country we are right now, they would wonder what they ever fought the Revolutionary war for since we have basterdized the names of those that did. Don’t even get me started on organized religion.
Before I turn into the one of the folks I despise though, that last paragraph will be one of the very few times I outright give some of my views on social issues. Instead, they’re scattered in my writings. I had a particular topic I wanted to tackle during the NaNoWriMo time frame, and I’m really enjoying this story. It’s too long though, and even though it isn’t done yet, I know it has multiple climaxes, so I’ve decided to split it up.
So I suppose this is my announcement of my second fiction book, which will be part one of three (or four, depending on how detailed I want the backstory of one of the major characters to be, he deserves his own book if I get into it). Now, the genre will be the same as the last one, still a horror novel. It will certainly be less gruesome than the previous though, not that I particularly mind the gore, but I think some people latched onto that more than the message hidden beneath it.
My hope is to have each one done in just under three months, which would line up with part one out before January ends followed by part two before the end of April and part three by the time summer is making the days warm up here. I fully expect to be unusually busy at work this year though (working on secret games we haven’t announced yet of course) so I don’t have a great deal of confidence yet, but those are my goals.
I’m actually more excited about this series than I was about my first book, which is actually a bit of a surprise. I was super excited about that one. | 165456204 |

She is proud to be associated with an organisation that not only lays so much emphasis on educating those who cannot afford basic amenities that a Nand Ghar offers, but also the fact that the Nand Ghars, in bold and true colours, scream loudly that education can be a fun process for teachers as well as those learning.
Nand Ghars, Kaur says, offers a respite from her daily chores, in an atmosphere where there is clean running water, electricity to keep the heat at bay and toilets that give an added measure of dignity! | 292773898 |
The built-in WebSocket support in the Chrome, FireFox, and Safari browsers.
Kitura-WebSocket-NIO supports version thirteen of the WebSocket protocol.
Both the WS and WSS (SSL/TLS secured WS) protocols are supported by Kitura-WebSocket. To enable WSS set up your Kitura based server for SSL/TLS support. See the tutorial Enabling SSL/TLS on your Kitura server on www.kitura.io for details.
Kitura-WebSocket-NIO also supports WebSocket compression using the permessage-deflate algorithm, adhering to RFC 7692 as much as possible.
Add the Kitura-WebSocket-NIO package to the dependencies within your application’s Package.swift file. Substitute "x.x.x" with the latest Kitura-WebSocket-NIO release.
The following is an overview of the Kitura-WebSocket APIs, for more information see the API reference.
When using the WebSocket protocol, clients connect to WebSocket services running on a particular server. WebSocket services are identified on a particular server via a path. This path is sent in the upgrade request used to upgrade a connection from HTTP 1.1 to WebSocket.
The Kitura-WebSocket API reflects that interaction using the class WebSocketConnection which represents a WebSocket client's connection to a service and the protocol WebSocketService which is implemented by classes that are WebSocket services.
A specific WebSocketConnection object is connected to a specific WebSocketService instance. On the other hand a specific WebSocketService instance is connected to many WebSocketConnection objects.
Functions to send text and binary messages to the client.
Functions to close the connection gracefully and forcefully.
In both close() and drop(), the WebSocketCloseReasonCode enum provides the standard WebSocket close reason codes with the ability to specify application specific ones.
A unique identifier that can be used to help manage the collection of WebSocketConnection objects connected to a WebSocketService.
A client has connected to the WebSocketService.
A client has disconnected from the WebSocketService.
The reason parameter contains the reason code associated with the client disconnecting. It may come from either a close command sent by the client, or be determined by Kitura-WebSocket if the connection's socket suddenly was closed.
A binary message was received from a client.
The message parameter contains the bytes of the message in the form of a Data struct.
A text message was received from a client.
The message parameter contains the message in the form of a String.
This function is passed the WebSocketService being registered along with the path it is being registered on.
This function is passed the path which the WebSocketService being unregistered was registered on.
Kitura-WebSocket-NIO fully complies to the Autobahn Testsuite for web sockets. To create an echo server and run this test suite against it, follow the instructions here.
In order to run the client one must have Node.js installed.
The server keeps track of the clients that have connected to it and echoes all text messages sent to it to all of the clients that have connected to it, with the exception of the client that sent the message.
The HeliumLogger package, while strictly not required, was added to enable logging.
The class has a Dictionary, connections, which is used to keep track of the connections of all of the connected clients. The Dictionary is maintained by the connected and disconnected functions, which are, respectively, adding and removing connections from the dictionary.
The received function, which receives binary messages, is rejecting the message, closing the client connection and removing the connection from the set of known connections.
Lastly, the received function, which receives text messages, simply echoes the message received to all clients except the one who sent the message.
It should be noted that all of these functions can be invoked from many threads simultaneously. In real applications, one should add locking around the access of non-thread safe artifacts of the application such as the connections Dictionary in this very simplistic example.
The HeliumLogger is set up to log info, warning, and error type messages.
The ChatService defined in the ChatService.swift file is registered on the path chat.
An HTTP server is created and setup to listen on port 8080.
With this server set up clients should connect to the chat service as ws://host:8080/chat, where host is the host running the server.
The client has a simple command line interface. At startup one passes the host and port number. The client simply reads messages to be sent from the terminal and displays messages received on the terminal as well.
That will install the websocket package.
As described above, the server echoes all text messages sent to it to all of the clients that have connected to it, with the exception of the client that sent the message. Therefore, in order to see the example in action you will need to connect more than one client to the server. The client can be run in several terminal windows on the same computer. You can then enter a message on one client and see it appear on another client and vice versa.
For a more complete example please see Kitura-Sample. | 184095250 |

US says six powers agree to consider further sanctions but Russia says no firm deal yet.
The call for further sanctions followed a one-page letter sent by Iran to major powers on Tuesday containing no reply to an offer by Russia, China, the US, Germany, Britain and France of further talks and an incentives package if Iran freezes expansion of its nuclear work.
Western powers accuse Iran of attempting to develop nuclear weapons but Iran says its programme is only for peaceful energy purposes.
However, Vitaly Churkin, Russia's ambassador to the UN, said there was no definite agreement among the six powers for a fourth round of sanctions against Iran.
"It may well be that in the course of those discussions some members of the six raised the issue of the sanctions," Churkin said.
"But to the best of my knowledge there has been no firm agreement or understanding or concerted work in this regard."
Churkin also said Moscow had not set a deadline for Iran to respond to the offer, and that ministers from the six powers would meet in September to discuss Iran.
Al Jazeera's correspondent at the UN, John Terret, said according to UN sources, nothing concrete would happen until the UN General Assembly meets in September, when the six powers would have the chance to try to convince Iran to get on board or get the unanimity needed for sanctions.
Also, a senior official from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear watchdog, is heading to Tehran on Thursday to try to offer the Iranians the clarification they are seeking on the offer, he said.
Kim Howells, a British foreign office minister, said the UK was disappointed by Iran's response so far.
"Iran has a clear choice: Engagement or isolation. We regret that Iran's leaders appear to have chosen isolation," he said.
"If Iran continues to refuse to come to the negotiating table, the international pressure on Iran will only grow," he said.
The new deadline was set after Iran ignored a previous demand to respond by last weekend to the proposed package, insisting no such deadline had been set.
Israel, which is concerned about a threat from a potentially nuclear Iran, said on Thursday that Iran was trying to buy time by giving "evasive" replies and the UN should impose strong sanctions.
"Every day that the centrifuges continue to spin brings Iran closer to a nuclear weapons capability and threatens the stability and security of the region and the world," Sallai Meridor, Israel's ambassador to the United States, said.
Tensions were again heightened on Monday when Iran said it had successfully test-fired an anti-ship missile with a range of 300km that would allow it to close the Strait of Hormuz between Iran and Oman, one of the world's busiest oil shipping routes. | 352615763 |
The 15th of December marked the final stop on the year-long Lionesses of Africa tour around the African continent, showcasing the best and most inspirational women entrepreneurs to the rest of the world. Accra was the final city of the tour, and what an occasion it was. Our hosts were the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy in Germany, together with a high level business delegation of leading ceos and decision-makers from some of the most influential companies and organisations in that country.
On a beautiful, hot and sunny morning in Accra, Lionesses of Africa excitedly headed to the prestigious Kempinsky Gold Coast Hotel in the city to join a delegation of 18 leading business executives and ceos of Germany’s leading companies. Our host for the morning was a real key champion of Africa’s women entrepreneurs, Hon Brigitte Zypries, Germany’s Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy. The aim of the morning’s event was to showcase some of the most inspirational women entrepreneurs from Accra to the delegation, and to open up possible future business relationships and opportunities. The six women entrepreneurs from Accra presenting their businesses as part of the event were: Ethel Cofie, founder and ceo, Edel Technology; Farida Bedwei, co-founder and cto, Logiciel; Kimberley and Priscilla Addison, cofounders, 57 Chocolate; Akosua Afriyie-Kumi, founder and ceo, AAKS; Audrey Forson, managing director, Tekura; and Emi Beth Aku Quantson, founder, Kawa Moka.
Minister Zypries officially started the morning’s programme with a welcome to the Lionesses of Africa delegation, and an introduction to the Ministry’s interest in supporting the growth and development of Africa’s women entrepreneurs. The event follows on from the recently held Africa Startup Night event held in Berlin, which was hosted in partnership with Lionesses of Africa, and which showcased 5 leading young digital entrepreneurs from Africa.
Lionesses of Africa founder and ceo, Melanie Hawken, then gave an introduction to the work of the organisation and its vision to empower 1 million women entrepreneurs in Africa by the end of 2018. She took the opportunity to launch Lionesses of Africa’s exciting new comprehensive women’s entrepreneur development programme, the ‘Kukua Programme’, meaning ‘To Grow’ in Swahili. She explained to the delegations that the 12 month long Kukua Programme will be truly unique in that it is developed for women by women; is specific to the needs of women entrepreneurs; is entirely community driven; is provided to women entrepreneurs for free; and importantly is a radical departure from existing initiatives (where they exist) that are clearly under delivering in Africa. Melanie also announced that the first company to come on board as an impact partner for the Kukua Programme is leading German company, Siemens.
Ethel is a multi-award winning entrepreneur with her own leading industry technology business, Edel Technology, and named as one of the top 5 IT influencers in Africa, and founder of Women in Tech Africa, the continent's largest tech grouping of women IT industry game-changers.
Farida is a tech-amazon and one of the top software engineers and entrepreneurs in Africa. She is currently working with the Ghanaian government to rebrand the micro-finance industry, developing gKudi Software app to revolutionise the micro-finance industry in Ghana.
Kimberley and Priscilla are pioneers of Ghana's home grown chocolate manufacturing industry, creating a global world class luxury chocolate brand that drives a cocoa bean to bar philosophy, and extending Ghana's manufacturing value chain.
Akosua is an multi-awardwinning design entrepreneur, recognised by Vogue magazine as one of the most exciting global luxury accessory brands to watch. She is elevating traditional Ghanaian weaving techniques and creating world class luxury award-winning accessories that are retailing around the world, and also upskilling hundreds of local women to become micro-entrepreneurs in their own communities through her business. Her AAKS accessory brand retails in over 35 global cities through high end retail stores worldwide.
Audrey is a pioneering furniture manufacturing entrepreneur in Ghana, taking traditional designs and creating handcrafted, high quality furniture and interior design pieces for regional and export markets. Working with remarkable designers such a Cheik Diallo from Mali, she plans to revolutionise furniture and interior decor design in Ghana. Tekura has a workshop employing 25 talented artisans, a showroom, a retail outlet and a distribution network.
Emi-Beth is one of a new generation of young coffee entrepreneurs in Ghana. Her Kawa Moka brand of social enterprise coffee, coffee shops and creative spaces was founded on a rebellious idea - to create a string of sustainable socially conscious coffee shops across Africa. Her work gives smallholder farmers in Ghana access to a global market and empowers impoverished abused women, high school leavers and women in the legal aid system through training and employment. She is a Tony Elumelu Entrepreneur and a World Economic Forum Global Shaper. | 190236767 |

The Home Keyboard . . . .
I teach on the 'Home Keyboard', they have auto accompaniment and built in speakers. These keyboards assist us to be 'one man bands' and play all styles of music easily.
Home keyboards are a very cost-effective way for the budding musician to begin. While studying the basics of timing and notation they can absorb much about rhythm styles and ensemble playing.
Popular music has become more complex over time and the keyboard lets us re-create some of the important factors such as drum, bass and rhythm accompaniment that help to make our favourite songs and especially current chart hits more recognisable.
Ideally the Home Keyboard player will progress to some piano pieces after mastering basic notation and sight reading the Treble Clef.
All their focus can then be on learning to read the Bass clef, which becomes an easy process.
The teacher will have started two-handed co-ordination early on, perhaps with some simple 'memory' tunes and left-hand bass patterns.
Piano Style . . . .
Playing the keyboard purely as a Piano is limiting the features of a very interesting instrument. An explanation of the difference can be found under 'Tuition' on the TUITION page. I'm often asked to take on students that have begun to learn on the Piano but have lost interest.
The Piano is of course the master instrument, but it takes dedication to learn to play well. I've helped many disheartened students regain their joy of music because, on the keyboard, with just a few simple steps, we can be playing recognisable songs.
When a student has progressed and is learning Piano pieces, I'm always pleased if they make the decision to study Piano. I often wonder if they would have progressed so far without the pleasure they've had from taking the 'Keyboard Style' approach.
There are 5 Types of Keyboard . . .
Electronic keyboards can be immensely versatile instruments with high quality sounds hard to distinguish from the real thing. There are five types - Synthesizer, Workstation, Electronic Piano, Organ and Home Keyboard.
Synthesizers - A Synthesizer can be manipulated to make sounds and effects, some of them imitating musical instruments. Several early inventions could be called synthesizers, many people consider Robert Moog as a founding figure. From his electronic modules comes much of the original jargon such as 'Patches' and 'ASDR' (Attach, Sustain, Decay, Release).
Workstations - A development of the synthesizer incorporating a recording system to create and store songs in the keyboards memory. Some have auto accompaniment and drums similar to home keyboards.
Electric & Electronic Pianos - Keyboards dedicated to imitating the real thing. Usually touch sensitive (the harder you hit the keys, the louder the note). Some have 'weighted' keys to give a Piano feel. Some have auto accompaniment and drums similar to home keyboards.
Electronic Organs - Two keyboards and a Pedal board allowing the player to play Bass with their feet and freeing up the hands to play chords and melody. Most have auto accompaniment. The built in amplifier and large speakers produce good quality sound.
Home Keyboards - Automatic accompaniment with Chords, Bass and Drums. Built in speakers. Early models were very basic instruments with poor sound quality (the drums went POP and CLICK ! ). The present generation, such as the Yamaha PSR range, produce excellent drum sound and instrument voices, similar to the real thing.
The auto accompaniment feature creates a band or ensemble situation. The keyboard's microprocessor uses the chord being played as information to provide Bass, several Rhythm Instruments and Pads. The musician plays the Melody and Chords.
Just over three decades ago Home keyboards were generally considered as 'Toys'. Since that time keyboard technology has skyrocketed in similar fashion to (and because of) the home computer.
Left Hand Voice . . .
There are two important tasks for the voice that is sounded by the left-hand.
Firstly, when learning a new piece, without drums or rhythm, it is VERY important to have a soft sound for the chord, such as strings or similar. A good keyboard will automatically have this sound.
Less expensive keyboards often automatically start the drums and auto accompaniment the moment a chord is played and the student hasn't a chance to practice the new chords or notes and play in time. This can cause serious problems.
There are a few tricks and tips to try and correct this problem, depending on the brand & model of keyboard.
Secondly, when using the auto accompaniment, the default setting on most keyboards uses no voice in the left hand. Only the automatic rhythm voices are heard.
It is most important that a voice be heard when re hitting the chord. Good keyboards have an assignable 'split voice', or 'Lower Voice'. The simplest use of it is as a 'Pad', with usually Strings or an Organ voice.
This lower or split voice is essential in many pieces that I teach, because when we play the chord rhythmically, using a Piano or other suitable voice, it can be used to emphasise the rhythm, chords or moving notes. It's especially useful in showing quick chord changes that the auto accompaniment doesn't pick up.
Reverb is the natural echo produced by real instruments and varies from the ambience of a small room to the strong echo's found in an empty Cathedral. All good keyboards have this feature and usually offer a choice of reverbs from 'Broom Closet' to 'Large Hall' and also a choice of strength.
Voices are very flat without reverb.
Registration Memory is another vital feature. Each memory button stores an entire setting of the keyboard. To set up an average song can take several minutes, we have to choose the Main voice, the Dual voice, the Split voice, the Style, the Tempo, adjust the Volumes, and possibly the Octaves, of all of them. Maybe also adjust the Split point, change the Reverb type and level, etc. But once this is saved to a memory it can all be recalled instantly.
Disc Drive / Memory Card . . .
The built in disc drive, memory Stick or Card facility is another powerful performing and learning aid. It saves valuable time by storing sound settings and can be used to record and play a MIDI file with specialised accompaniment that creates a very professional performance.
All good keyboards have USB or Midi sockets for connection to a computer. Most have MIDI in and out sockets for connection to other keyboards or a computer. This interface is a valuable learning and playing aid and can be used for a number of functions from adding extra voices to song writing/recording.
Touch Sensitivity . . .
The harder you hit the key the louder the note. Most important for keyboard players to help them put expression into the music. Good keyboards have wonderful touch sensitivity that you hardly know is there and allow you to play with natural expression.
Sound Quality . . .
Every brand of keyboard has a Piano, Saxophone, Trumpet, String, and Organ voice etc. Although the name is the same the actual sound can be very different. I play and teach on 30 - 40 different models a year. Ask me before you buy ! I have definite favourites that make my job easier and the music better. | 5552436 |

Here's an interesting idea, an Eco Den from Alternative Space being used as an annexe to a house boat on Regent's Canal, London.
A stunning shedlike atmosphere by Gandiblasco which they call Cristal Box and actually describe as an "outdoor pergola system". It's made of anodized or thermo-lacquered aluminium and the floor is a kind of 'wood' which they say is made using plant and plastic fibres. The ceiling is phenolic plate and the roof is galvanised sheeting. Glass not included.
Making your shed your own me space is one of the joys of shedworking. Here are two examples, above, the interior of Christian 'Docuden' Payne's new garden office with his trademark Che image (do click the link, it's well worth a read if you're a Guevera fan) and below, awardwinning garden designer Jo Thompson's shed with magnolia in full magnificence.
We're big fans of the Disco Shed so were delighted to discover what is effectively the 'disco caravan', one of five wooden pavilions by architects 1/100 which have been placed in the garden of the Quai Branly Museum, Paris. Each pavilion serves a different purpose (information point, ice cream stall, creche, stage and disco) with comfortable chairs all around them for relaxation - after September 4 they will move on to a new location.
A marvellous mobile shedworking space by Gesamtkonzept Architekten, a prefab police station at the Turkish Consulate in Hanover: on the steel frame it has wood-effect laminated panels (the colour chosen to fit in with the reddish brown of Christ Church across the road) and large windows with curtains. It is fully insulated and does not need air conditioning. The police officers previously made do with an ancient VW bus.

Common Farm Flowers is a cut flower and floristry business: Georgie Newbery and her artist husband Fabrizio Boccha grow, cut and tie all the flowers they use and they have been invited to be 'Green Shoots' at the National Gardening Show which will be held at the Bath & West showground in early September.
"They've given us the opportunity to build a show garden in which, naturally, we are going to need to build a very small shed, the space we have is 6x4m," explains Georgie, "and Fabrizio has already started building the shed but we would still like some sponsorship, either in the form of money to pay for the materials or in materials. I should warn potential sponsors that our shed will have a ramshackle charm - we are not into modernist perfection at Common Farm Flowers and are are keen recyclers. Any shed built by Fabrizio will have a re-cycled feel."
Any potential sponsors should e-mail her at [email protected] - they will be flagged up liberally in literature they distribute at the show and on their Twitter and Facebook feeds as well as on their website.
Thirteen specially commissioned cultural sheds are on show in Stratford today. SHEDspace is a new one day festival running from 12pm to 6pm today with shed installations throughout the town centre, each presenting an activity which ranges from film to fashion, digital art to theatre, circus and dance.The majority of the Sheds have been created by local artists although there are one or two specially invited guests including cellist and digital artist Peter Gregson choreographer Rosie Whitney Fish and Zimbabwean-born artist Thurle Wright. The Festival is presented by Stratford Rising, a consortium of organisations based in Stratford who are working together to raise the profile and sing the praises of culture in Stratford.
Mark Prescott ShedSPACE curator said: "Sheds seem to be a very British concept. So many people use them as places of reflection or an opportunity to pursue a hobby, interest or obsession. The activities presented in the festival expand or play with that central idea. In addition the Sheds have been positioned in such a way as to draw audiences on a journey around Stratford itself."
Visitors to Stratford Shopping Centre will be able to take part in a swap shop and fashion project, watching as two stylists go head-to-head in a fashion challenge. Choreographer Rosie Whitney Fish who has worked with London Fashion Week, Vidal Sasson and Wella, will be creating the ultimate dance swish together with a series of pop-up performances of fashion inspired dance.
Artist Thurle Wright creates a participative opportunity to create a public art project using her Shed as skeleton for audiences to build and write stories using cardboad boxes. There is scope for more than a 1,000 boxes to be painted and decorated and from a unique public sculpture created during the day.
Visitors to Stratford’s Old Town Hall Square will also be able to give their warts and all views on the Olympics to journalists and bloggers from A New Direction (explanation of A New Direction), who will be recording the responses as part of a live blog stream from the festival. Cellist and Digital Media Artist Peter Gregson is inviting audiences to collaborate with him in an attempt to capture a soundscape of the festival.
Stratford Picture House have turned their shed into a ‘cinema karaoke’ while also offering a live musical accompaniment to Buster Keaton’s The General. Hungry audiences can eat their way across 5 continents courtesy of Northern Imagination who have been inspired by the rising London trend in street food. Discover Children’s Centre have designed a beautiful shed full of escaping stories where children have to help Joe the Story Keeper to create new stories so that the shed does not empty.
Paymaster general and Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude believes that new hospital buildings could well include more shedlike atmospheres as the UK government looks to save money while still providing high quality buildings, according to Building Design.
Of course those that following Shedworking know that this process is already underway and that garden office buildings are increasingly being used by hospitals around the country. One example, pictured above, is by in.it.studios, a garden room extension for St Oswalds Hospice in Newcastle which is a Rehabilitation Room: it's 5.9m x 7.6m, cedar clad and as in.it.studios say, "the timber construction distinguishes itself from the brick built hospice with a contemporary aesthetic yet retains an appearance sympathetic to its environment".

A fascinating behind the scenes look into a key part of making a shepherd's hut from specialists Plankbridge.
Brigitte is a shedlike atmosphere by Enrique Illanez Schoenenberger made out of small wooden tiles which are sewn together then draped over a metal frame, inspired by a traditional (though disappearing) roof-building technique from Switzerland. Inside is a bench which helps to keep it stable. Initially it was built to be used outdoors - Enrique estimates the structure is good for 20 years of outdoor use and specifically describes it as a 'garden shed' - but now believes it serves a better purpose inside. Here's what he says: "Clearly present in this project is the notion of time. Everything is getting faster nowadays – why is that? Do we want or need things to go quickly? Brigitte invites people to take the time to rest. The second aspect of time can be found in the wooden tiles."
"The Rocket Hide was a project funded by the Big Lottery Community Wildlife Fund and Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations Can Do Communities to create an adventure play area for young children that would double up as a hide for our older users. It was inspired by a three year old boy, called Billy, from Machynlleth Community Nursery. We first ran a few design fun workshops with the Nursery and myself and Scott Roe then worked with carpenter Max Jenkins with consultancy from Julian Russell. Max brought his very own unique carpentry style during 10 days and working with volunteers using chestnut and douglas fir to create this wonderful hideaway.
We asked our Twitter followers what they thought were the shedlike highlights at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show this year and here they are. Above is a rather small yet lovely shepherd's hut-style design from Court and Hunt and below is the shed in the 5 A Day Garden from Burgon & Ball.
Thanks to all who let us know their preferences.
Chiara Irvine runs The Healing Shed business from her garden office in Reading, Berkshire. From this peaceful space at the bottom of her garden, she runs group Reiki, crystal therapy and meditation workshops as well as talks in spirituality, psychic development and self development. The shed has a woodburning stove and is pleasantly situated close to a river. You can also find them on Twitter and Facebook.
A fully functioning micro brewery turns out 10 gallon batches of real ale from grain to glass, where there is also a mug club for 24 lucky members. Being a huge fan of British inspired ale and culture has made it an easy choice of decor for this award winning brewer. The shed features hot and cold running water, heating and air conditioning, four refrigerators, two sinks, cable television and Wi-Fi internet.
For those who only want an occasional shedworking atmosphere (the lack of insulation would probably prevent it being used during winter), here's the rather lovely Malvern Newland Summerhouse from Taylors Garden Buildings. It's a new model for 2011, 8'x6' with ground to floor glazing, glazed double doors and two fixed windows with two top opening vent windows in each side. Cladding is 12mm tongue and grooved deal, cedar or logroll. It's currently available at 20% off the normal price.
Look out this summer for a unique shedlike tour of UK bird hides by singer (and freelance organic gardener and environmental artist) Kate Doubleday in aid of the RSPB. The Hide-Away UK Tour also features Trevor Lines (bass/ukelele) and Dan Wilkins (guitar/kora) and will be playing to titchy audiences of between 15 and 50 inside the hides, blending their acoustic music with the sounds of nature surrounding them.
A very worthy runner-up in this year's Shed of the Year and clear winner in the Garden Office category, Mary’s Meals in Dalmally, Scotland is probably also the worthiest shedworking atmosphere we've featured. It was set up to establish school feeding projects in communities around the world where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education: currently, Mary’s Meals provides daily meals in school for over 500,000 children in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
And it is all run from 'Calum’s shed', a Nissen hut-style building borrowed by the charity's founder Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow from his father to store blankets and medicines to be delivered where needed in Bosnia. It has two main rooms, one which is Magnus's office and the other which is used for meetings: one reason why the shed is still in use is that it enables the charity to keep its overheads low and thus spend more on helping children in need.

How To Choose the Best Education Institution.
Education is part of the world that we are living in today. There is so much that you can get from education which includes the knowledge that you will be gaining, the change in the life’s perspective, opinions and point of view and the employment. Education institution that you get the education from is one of the things that will determine the kind of quality of education that you get. The only way that you are going to get the best if if you know what to look for, because you will be spoilt of choices when you go looking for one.
The exact training that you need is the first thing that you consider. Whether or not they offer the degree or certificate that you are looking for, how they have been doing over the time and how long they have been offering the training are among the things that you look at first. Make sure that they have all that it takes like the capability, the staff and the resources to get you the best training. Look at the credentials and the experience of the people that will be doing the training, and the experience of the place too. When you do something for a long time, you get better at it, and get the ability to deal with pretty much anything that is thrown your way. The experience therefore is very vital, as long as they have the right training.
Many people usually make the costs their primary objective, which is wrong because there are other things to consider like the quality that you are getting. The quality and the prices are known to go hand in hand, and that is why you might be needed to add a little more to get better quality, which is usually totally worth it.
A place where you can get quality electrical training programs or any other training at a fair price is ideal like the InterCoast College is the kind that you should be looking for. There are a number of ways that you can minimize the amount that you pay without touching the quality, and one of them is choosing that electrician trade school near me for the electrical training programs that you are looking for. Without having to enroll first, there are a number of ways that you can know of the kind of quality that you will be getting, and one of them is through the third party reviews. This could be a friend, a neighbor or a colleague that has gotten the training, or you can get more of the testimonials from the online platforms. | 168562041 |
It was Halloween evening, and the first trick-or-treaters were just minutes away from showing up at our joyful home. Eric was dressed as a knight, wearing dragon Corban in the Ergo, and I was decked out as a medieval princess, giving a final stir to our giant pot of hot chocolate. Then my phone rang.
Since my hands were full, Eric answered, surprised to find his boss (a pastor at our church) on the other end. “Oh no.” He gasped, in a tone that led me to set down the ladle, dry my hands, and come stand at his side. He listened for a little while, thanked her for calling, then turned to me with an expression I knew led to bad news.
Our friend, a woman at my Mops table, one of Eric’s closest friends as teenager, had delivered a beautiful baby boy a few days earlier. We were so excited to meet him, hopeful she’d bring him to our next Mops meeting, and I was already planning nursing dates at our house.
Tragically, on the morning of the 31st, while this sweet boy lay in her arms, he slipped away to be with Jesus.
I won’t go into details, but to say that the cause of death is undetermined, except to the extent that it was proven not to be their fault. There was nothing they could have done. But at the time of this phone call, all we knew was that he was gone.
I collapsed on the kitchen floor, nearly taking the pot of cocoa with me, my body wracked with sobs.
“Why? Why? No Jesus NO!!!” I wailed. I had no coherent thoughts in my head except that I wanted it to not be true. Babies die, and it’s awful, but not this baby, it couldn’t be right.
Today was the memorial, and it amazes me how each time I think I’ve gotten through the worst of the grieving, fresh waves suddenly wash over me. As raw and painful as my grief is, I know it’s miniscule compared to what this couple and their family are going through.
I’ve been to far too many memorials in my life, and I don’t think any can be harder than that of a child. The pastor in no way tried to wrap things up in a pretty bow, even stumbling for the words at times because, really, what can you say? I so appreciated his encouragement that it is okay to cry out to God in anger and doubt, and the reminder that Jesus Himself did the same. Yet, in the midst of the sorrow, there was a certainty as well.
The couple chose readings and songs that were filled with hope. The only hope we can cling to when things are so deeply awful. Her father, the Grandpa, shared how two months earlier he randomly opened his Bible, found the first name on the page, and suggested they add the name Zedekiah to their list, only to have his shocked daughter show him the name they had already chosen written on an index card she was just about to hand him.
Zedekiah, meaning God is Just.
One day, they will see Zedekiah again. One day, in heaven, I will get to meet their sweet boy. Until then, we choose to trust God.
I had planned a recipe post for tomorrow, but it just didn’t seem right. That’s not where my heart or head is right now. So come back Monday if you’re looking for food. Right now, I leave you with a poem. This is the first poem I’ve written since high school, and I know God gave it to me. It was printed in the memorial bulletin, and I had so many people find me to share that they too had lost a child and it meant so much to them. I know I can’t lessen the pain of such a loss, but I hope that sharing this can somehow help bring some healing to those who need it.
Hold your children tight today. I know I am.
Thank you Bev. My heart has broken for you as well and I look forward to meeting Hannah one day in heaven.
With three children of my own, I can not even begin to fathom such a devastating loss. My thoughts are with you and your friend’s family. | 95301392 |

There is something about a good bowl of home made soup . . . it seems to warm the body and soul and put a smile on your face every time! Whether it fills you up to go back to work at the office, back to school to face the test, or out to shovel the driveway, it makes lots of healthy fuel for the both the body mind and spirit!
Fill the chosen cooking vessel with about 3/4 water. Decide if you will use a small bag of white lentils or a large one depending on your pot. Use the water to lentil ration indicated on the bag. Place one or two pork ham hocks in the pan, salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 diced onion and two or three chopped celery stalks, plus chose sliced carrots. Let come to a boil, then simmer for about 3 1/2 hrs or until lentils are tender. Serve with chopped fresh parsley and sprinkle with real crumbled bacon. Be sure you also serve your favorite hot bread and a salad. This makes a healthy, satisfying combination whether for lunch or dinner!
Make the white lentil soup with ham hock as described described above. In large fraying pan make your Swedish meatballs, turning them often as you fry them for even results.
In large bowl combine 1 package of lean ground beef (1 or 2 lbs or so) with half the amount of ground pork sausage. Add 1/2 diced medium onion, 2 eggs, 1 cup breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp nutmeg or so depending on your taste; mix well. Shape into small meat balls about 1 inch or so. Fry in pan with a small amount of olive oil coating the pan. When cooked through and through, drop into the pot of hot white lentil soup mixture. Serve with you favorite hot bread, real butter and green salad. Yummmm!
In a large iron pan with cover or Dutch oven, place chopped left over beef chuck roast or diced beef stew meat, and place in hot pan with a little olive oil. Stir in fresh or dry rosemary, and Italian seasoning of your choice or herbs from your garden such as Oregano and Thyme. Let flavors cook into the meat. Add five cups of water and one bag of dry mixed bean mix. Then stir in 3 cups chopped canned tomatoes, Italian style if you can get them. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil then turn heat down to simmer for 4 or 5 hours. Shortly before serving pour into boiling mixture, 1 half bag pasta shells. Cook until tender about 9 minutes. Serve with joy, add hot sourdough or faoscia bread! Make green salad with Romain lettuce, spinach, tomato and artichoke hearts…and Italian dressing. This is a family recipe!
The simple recipe for this warm satisfying soup is as old as the hills, and then some! My grandma Elizabeth, on my Mom’s side, who’s family did a homestead farm in Oklahoma, always had a pot of beans of some kind simmering on the stove. Split pea is one of those easy, tummy warming ones!
Fill large pot with lid (or croc pot) about 2/3 or so with water. Place one or two ham hocks in it along with either a small or large bag of dry split peas. Read the mix to water ratio on the bag. Add a couple of chopped/sliced carrots, 1 diced onion, and a couple of stalks of chopped celery; salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil then simmer 3-4 hours of until the split peas are tender, and liquefying into soup. Serve with Honey corn bread and your favorite salad!
This is easy and quick! Decide on the amount you want to make. Say, using 2 lbs ground beef would be an average amount serving about 6 people. In large frying pan cook the ground beef stirring frequently until thoroughly done. Add salt and pepper to taste and about 3 TBS chili powder, or tailored to your taste. Use the same frying pan with lid if large enough or transfer to a larger cooking pot with lid.
1 can of chipolte beans, or any other kind of beans you like that would be compatible with Chili.
Use the liquid from the canned beans as a base. Cook on medium heat for at least 30 min to 1 hour. Simmer longer to let the flavors continue to release and mix well into the chili. Shortly before serving add small slices or bits of sliced or chopped fresh green bell pepper. Let cook barely through and through to keep crisp.
Five Bean Chili–a quick favorite!
Serve with Taco chips or your favorite bread.

The folding wheelchair is a type of manual wheelchair that can be collapsed. The biggest advantage of these types of wheelchairs is that they are easy to transport and store. It comes on both lightweight and heavy-duty models but the folding, locking and reinforcing parts usually make them heavier than the rigid wheelchair.
Most folding wheelchairs have an x-frame that enables it to collapse sideways, which makes it ideal for storing and not taking up too much space. Once the folding chair is collapsed, it can be stored in a car trunk. A larger or more complicated mode of transport is not needed in this case.
The frame of the folding wheelchair is flexible compared to the rigid wheelchair. On uneven surfaces, the folding wheelchair is more stable than the rigid one. This is due to all four wheels remaining on te ground and the frame flexes to adjust to the uneven surface. However, the downside is that they are less stable on floor surfaces that are hard.
The folding chair has more adjustable parts that allow it to collapse for easy storage but these parts can break or wear down fairly easily and they have to be replaced fairly often. Therefore, the maintenance on a folding wheelchair is higher compared to a rigid-framed wheelchair.
Since folding wheelchairs are flexible, they tend to absorb energy, which makes them harder to push, and maneuver compared to rigid wheelchairs. The flexible body absorbs much of the force used for pushing. They are also heavier and not as strong and durable as rigid frame wheelchairs.
Some activities such as playing sports or any kind of athletic activity should be avoided when using a folded wheelchair. The ability to fold had to concede some features such as strength and stability. The features that make the folding wheelchair a great choice in some situations also make it less stable and less robust.
For most cases, folding wheelchairs are not designed for self-propulsion and are best suited for those with little or no upper body strength and the uses can range from the very young to the very old. Individuals who have good upper body strength are better off with a rigid frame wheelchair.
The main advantages of the folding wheelchair are its portability and ability to store easily. It is also more convenient for caregivers to lift, stow and transport even though it might be a bit heavier than the rigid frame wheelchair. The ability to fold and store easily make them great for smaller living spaces as well as vehicles that have smaller capacity. | 312283609 |
There is no level or type of sexual abuse and misconduct of women, children, or men that is acceptable. We have been called by God to show honor and respect to all women, children, and men. We thank God for them. We stand with all who say ‘no’ to any type of abuse of women, children, or men at any time and under any circumstance and we also stand with all who have been abused. We pray for all victims of sexual abuse and we will support them as well.
The very mention of sexual misconduct among Southern Baptist church leaders deeply disturbs us. We are sickened by the thought.
Any allegations of sexual misconduct in SBC life should be taken seriously and addressed appropriately, including the immediate and full involvement of law enforcement.
Although there are 16 million Southern Baptists and nearly 50,000 SBC churches, even one instance of sexual misconduct is one too many.
It should grieve our hearts, as it grieves the heart of God, that innocent women, children, and men are abused in any way.
Any knowledge of sexual abuse should be reported immediately to the authorities.
Local churches, and networks of churches, should take the utmost care to protect those entrusted to their care and make use of databases provided by law enforcement of convicted offenders.
We pray for the victims in this series of articles who, unfortunately, have to relive the pain of their experiences in the retelling of their stories. | 241823612 |
Geometra Software AB | Let´s talk Standardisation!
15 Aug Let´s talk Standardisation!
This post is also available in Swedish: Låt oss prata standardisering!
Standardisation! Boring!! I would say this is a common response to standardisation and a usual remark is that I want to be a free spirit and it is my own inspiration that conducts what to do and when to do it, myself included. However, there is no contradiction in these two. Instead, if you could standardise some of your work you will actually get time to use the free form working that Fredrik eluded on in his latest blog.
Standardisation can be important in many aspects. Standard work is one of the corner stones in Lean thinking as it brings a lot of value to you and to your organisation. It is all about creating common conventions or ways of working that functions together with other parts in the organisation in a smooth way. Just think when you need to onboard a new employee and when you have the whole onboarding process ready and only need to start the process. Also, when someone changes roles or quits their job will it be easy to bring a new person up to speed relatively quick instead to start to figure out what to do. Perhaps you think you have control of what is happening and how things are done. I would argue that most organisations re-invent their process more or less every time. Just think about the difference in onboarding and the feeling the new person will carry with him/her when you have a smooth and planned process.
A good way to understand the need to standardise even the simplest processes is just to ask around this simple question. How do you get your coffee in the morning? You will be surprised in how many different ways people can get their coffee. The end point is the same, a cup of coffee, but the variation in the process is huge. If you make the parallel to what you are producing and if you have the same variation in your processes! Remember a customer is never willing to pay extra for your poor internal processes. So, how get to an efficient process with consistent quality is to, yes you guessed it, standardisation.
Another example is from this summer’s world cup in football; the free kicks by Ronaldo. If you look how he does it, you will see he has carved out a very standardised way. He places the ball, take an exact number of steps back (five) and then a step to the left. Standing broad legged he focuses on the task which he can do to a 100% as everything else is done in a standardised way and he doesn’t have to think about it. The result usually speaks for itself.
Looking at myself and my own training that I did not start very structured or standardised, I just did what I felt to do that specific day. I made some progress but not as much as I wanted. Later I planned my training more thorough and ended up with a complete standardised week (varying by season) where all training sessions where listed, what and how to train down to pulse zones. Now, I could start focus on the quality instead and by utilising this way of training, I have now accomplished my first set of goals; to run Toughest and two Triathlons, a sprint and an Ironman 70.3 result, with less than a year’s training. I’m happy to share my schedule if anyone is interested.
What about work, standard week perhaps?
The examples above have been non-working related. So, what can you do at work then? I would suggest you start with one simple thing which is to look at all reoccurring tasks you do in a week. For instance, you bill your customers (means that you need to prepare the billing), you do estimates on jobs, you create and send tenders, you make your financial reporting, you follow up on projects et cetera. You will be surprised to see how many tasks you perform week after week. If you then start to place your reoccurring work in a weekly calendar and think if you have any dependencies and when you need to have your tasks finished. You will soon see a pattern start to materialise, your standard week. This will help you to understand when you need to do things and more importantly when you need parts from others to be able to deliver your own stuff. This will then trickle down in the organisation as their calendars need to be standardised to match each other’s. As a consequence, you will suddenly see that you have some free space in your calendar where you can plan some more creative activities. Also, when you do your planning don’t plan for a work load of 100%. Why’s that, because if you suddenly have a peak or something unexpected come up, that will force you to go over the 100%. No big deal you think I can handle that. However, when this is happening all the time, which is not uncommon in today’s work environment, in the end you will start to reach the limit after a while and you risk burning out. Instead plan for a approx. 80% work load, then you will have time and the strength to take care of the peaks much more effectively.
Next step would be for you to look at your processes and start to document and go through them with your co-workers and standardise these. I will revisit this topic more thorough in a later post.
To live what you preach we had a workshop where we all worked together and created our own standard weeks. Firstly, we all put down all recurring tasks on post-is and then we went one by one and created our weeks. This sparked a lot of discussions as we did find out a lot of dependencies and in the end, we did find a set of standard weeks that worked for everyone and which interplayed nicely. All in all, it took 3h to complete.

Are you suffering from an accident-related brain injury?
We can help. Our Santa Cruz personal injury law firm has the experience and success with brain injury cases that you need.
There has been tremendous progress in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of brain injuries over the past decade. While the prognosis for victims of brain injury has improved remarkably, this is often still one of the most devastating and insidious of injuries and one which can have profound and sometimes life-long effects upon the quality of life for the patient.
The long-term effects and impacts of brain injuries can be extremely subtle and difficult to diagnose and substantiate. The patient and those closest to them may be only vaguely aware of subtle personality changes and impairments which can have profound impacts upon the patient’s family, loved ones, and social life. While the effects are difficult to prove, the decline in the patient’s quality of life can be substantial and long-term.
The difficulty in diagnosing a traumatic brain injury (“TBI”) is multifactor. For example, if you or a loved one has been involved in a serious motor vehicle accident, it’s often the case that there will be a number of open, obvious injuries: broken bones, or spinal injuries with obvious neurological deficits. When the patient is seen in the emergency room, it’s these obvious, painful injuries which are first addressed. By the time the diagnostic tests are run and surgery is performed, it’s the results of those surgeries which are the focus of the patient, his or her family, and the medical team. Sometimes, even if there was a blow to the head, or more often when there was merely a high velocity acceleration/deacceleration neck injury (“whiplash”) no CT scan of the head is even performed. Moreover, a CT scan, which is the standard of care for hospitals in initially diagnosing TBI is a fairly crude instrument for doing so; if there is no brain “bleed” its unlikely that most CT scans will detect a mild TBI (“mTBI”). But, an mTBI can be life-altering event, the symptoms of which can and often are ignored during initial hospitalizations, even when those hospitalizations last weeks or months.
The symptoms of an mTBI include not only personality changes, but attention and memory problems and a level of frustration, sadness, and even anger associated with suddenly being unable to do one’s job, organize one’s thoughts, or relate to friends to family in the same way.
Diagnosing the mTBI requires special expertise. Neurologist with specific training in mTBI are often required. High resolution MRIs of the brain, EEG and Nerve Conduction Studies, as well as a sensitivity to the symptoms of mTBI require examination, testing and treatment by a properly trained neurologist. Interpretation of the MRI should be done by a neuroradiologist. Often times, even when the MRI and Nerve Conduction Studies are normal, neuropsychological testing will reveal the brain deficits which explain all those troubling and disabling symptoms the patient is suffering.
Because of the difficulty of diagnosing and substantiating the subtle effects of brain injury, health care providers, insurance companies, and lawsuit defendants will mount a vigorous defense against any such claims, taking full advantage of all of the difficulties faced by the injured person. Because of widespread ignorance and the stigma associated with head injuries, patients and loved ones themselves may be hesitant to pursue such claims vigorously, hoping to “put the experience behind them” and get on with their lives.
A qualified attorney with a substantial understanding of brain injuries should be retained to represent any brain injury patient. The attorney should also have a track record of experience in this fast changing field, access to the latest information, and expert witnesses to mount a vigorous prosecution of such claims. With the proper representation, brain injury victims can receive substantial and just compensation for their injuries. The process of pursuing these claims can also open many avenues and opportunities for treatment, counseling, and long-term improvement in the patient’s ability to excel in a normal and successful life.
The attorneys at SS&F have represented a multitude of clients who have suffered injuries, from mild head traumas to catastrophic brain injuries where the person is completely unable to care for themselves. We have professional relationships with some of the best experts in the field of brain injuries: neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuropsychologists, brain injury physicians who specialize in brain injury rehabilitation, and vocational rehabilitation who have the training and experience not only to value the nature and extent of a client’s brain injuries, but also to explain to a judge or jury the significance and costs associated with providing proper treatment and care for someone who has suffered a traumatic brain injury.
We have obtained excellent results for many of our brain injured clients allowing them to receive the care & treatment they need to live meaningful and productive lives. | 21580115 |
We are now a mere 3 weeks from the beginning of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and most teams have only about ten games until their regular season draws to a close. With that in mind, let’s look at the state of the playoff chase coming into the home stretch.
Tampa Bay has already secured the President’s Trophy for the best regular season record in the NHL, which means they have already clinched home ice advantage throughout the playoffs. This all but guarantees Boston and Toronto will end up facing each other in the first round, it just comes down to who has home ice.
In the Metro, the Islanders and Capitals are locked in a dead heat for first place. Both have the exact same record and are tied in regulation/overtime wins, which is the first tiebreaker. These teams will play one more time in Washington before season’s end, and you can bet that game will be very intense and feel like a playoff game.
Pittsburgh holds the third Metro slot, but some recent inconsistency has left the door open for either Carolina or Columbus to jump in should either one go on a late tear. Carolina has two games in hand on Pittsburgh, and should they win those two extra games, they would surpass Pittsburgh for that third slot. Columbus, meanwhile, only has one game in hand so they would need to surge plus have Pittsburgh and Carolina fall back.
Right now, Columbus occupies the second wild-card slot, which is destined to face the steamroller known as Tampa in the first round. Again, the Jackets are not in control of their own destiny if they want to move up and out of this position: they would need Pittsburgh and/or Carolina to fall back. However, with how inconsistent the Jackets have been recent, I don’t know that even if one of those teams fell back that they could capitalize.
Things look bleak for Montreal and Philadelphia. The Canadiens have struggled to string together wins for a while now, and as a result, they have fallen below the playoff line. Meanwhile, Philadelphia is gaining ground in the standings, but their start was so bad that the gap is pretty much insurmountable.
The Central Division can be divided into three categories. First, the teams in a tight race at the top (Winnipeg and Nashville). Both teams have been inconsistent down the stretch, so, while the Jets hold a slight lead, it will likely come right down to the wire for the division crown.
Then, there’s the race for the third divisional slot. Saint Louis leads the pack, but Dallas has recently been surging behind superb goaltending from starter Ben Bishop. Lurking in the shadows is a Minnesota Wild squad that has struggled as of late, but still has an outside shot at the third slot if they can string together some wins down the stretch.
Finally, there are the outsiders just hoping for a wild-card berth in Colorado and Chicago. With how both teams are playing right now, both are pretty much on life support, likely too far behind to pass the teams ahead of them (barring a complete meltdown).
The top 3 of the Pacific is pretty much set. Calgary has already clinched a playoff berth, while San Jose is nipping right on their tail for the division crown. The loser of this race for the division crown will get to play a Vegas squad that’s all but locked into the third slot in the division.
Meanwhile, Arizona has surged into the second wild-card spot in the last week or so. They will have to fend off all the other Central teams for one of those two wild-card spots since the Pacific’s third slot (Vegas) is all but out of reach for them.
The playoff race in the NHL will only continue to heat up and get more intense as we get closer to April 10th. If you want to take your mind off your inevitably busted bracket, watch some hockey the next 3 weeks. You won’t be disappointed. | 56967300 |

Top seed James Willstrop advanced to the semi-finals following a 42 minute masterclass performance to dispatch France’s World No.35 Lucas Serme 11-6 11-7 11-5 in front of his home crowd under the lights of the 18th century théâtre Graslin to reach the semi-finals of the Open International de Squash de Nantes.
Willstrop, the former World No.1, put aside the tiredness that had affected his performance in the previous round against Patrick Rooney as the 35-year-old hit his targets with pinpoint accuracy to leave Serme without reply and move a step closer to the final.
“I think my match against Patrick did me a lot of good, I came out and I was pretty sharp. I played on the court, which Lucas hadn’t done, and that’s an advantage for me, it just worked well for me.
Willstrop will now face Egypt’s Zahed Salem for a place in the final after the Egyptian came from 2-0 down to beat UNSQUASHABLE player George Parker.
22-year-old Parker took the lengthy first game, which lasted 27 minutes before doubling his advantage in the second after Salem was forced to take an injury break. However, the Egyptian World No.31 battled back to disrupt Parker’s focus and take what proved to be a pivotal third game as he won 13-15 8-11 11-4 11-6 11-8 in 95-minutes. | 319040630 |
So glad pastels are still in for Spring 2013. I am totally loving all the light and spring colors that are in right now. I just love how light and airy this Spring trend is; just of a feeling of being refreshed. Now I just got to get shopping and fill the closets.
I'm Totally Ready for Spring!

Approximately 106,000 Americans die from prescription drugs each year, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association.
All the more amazing that the young woman in this video, who at age 16 was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (which snowballed into lupus and other autoimmune conditions), was able to get off over 40 medications by using raw cannabis juice, according to her physician, Dr. Courtney.
Raw cannabis is non-psychoactive, and is the way it was used for hundreds of thousands of year like our hunter and gatherer ancestors.
Dr. Courtney is a physician and researcher from Mendocino, California, who gives medical marijuana approvals to qualified patients in Mendocino and Humboldt Counties.
Kristen Peskuski is a researcher and patient who put her systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial cystitis, and numerous other conditions into remission juicing fresh cannabis.
They help make sense of the science behind patient’s recoveries from a diverse range of medical conditions. Attorneys, physicians, law enforcement, medical care providers, patients and their families discuss their experiences with medical cannabis.
They specifically focus on juicing fresh cannabis, which is non-psychoactive and contains medical properties 200-400 times stronger than traditional, heated cannabis.

I've spent some hours reading forums and messages, and can't quite figure out how to get the bandwidth usage logs saving onto the USB. Thank you in advance for your help!
Using Tomato Shibby 1.28 with an RT-N66U router and a USB flash drive connected to the router. (I use a Mac which I'll want to connect to the network usb drive to download and read the logs).
- USB and Nas -> USB support is all activated and I see the USB Flash Drive is mounted as Storage Host 5.
- USB and NAS -> File Sharing — Username, Password, Workgroup, all setup and all USB Partitions set to Read/Write access. I've setup an "additional share" as — Share name = logs, Directory = /logs/ with read and write access. I've also created a folder called logs on the flash drive itself before connecting to the router.
- Administration -> CIFS Client — /cifs1 is enabled, UNC = \\192.168.1.5\logs\ (I'm not sure what that IP address is supposed to be set to. I assume any IP is ok as it designates itself one? Or does this correspond to "Storage Host 5" under USB support where the Flash Drive is mounted?) Netbios name is empty, and Username and Password is filled in. Security = default NTLM.
Can anyone spot my error?
I know this post is a year old and you may not be expecting a reply. However, I just encountered this problem and I am posting the answer here in case somebody else has the same issue.
Okay. First of all, forget about using CIFS. Instead, under Administration—>Bandwidth Monitoring, select Custom Path for Save History Location and type /mnt/<USB drive name>/logs/ in the box to the left. Replace <USB drive name> with the name of your USB drive. Also, make sure you check Create New File then scroll down click Save. Now mount your Samba share in a Explorer and you should see a .gz file has been created in your logs folder.
Do the same for IP Traffic Monitoring if you have that enabled as well. | 103600870 |

ALMIGHTY GOD, the Creator and Preserver of men from everlasting to everlasting thou art God But time and chance happeneth to all that are under the sun, and in the midst of safety we are in danger: yet, 0 Blessed God. it is still in Thee we live, move, and have our being, and our time and lives are in Thy hand, A sparrow fall not to the ground without Thy leave and direction, much less are the persons of Kings shut out from Thy rule and governance I desire to adore Thee in the depth of thy over-ruling Providence, which I am not able to fathom I believe that affliction spring not out of dust I humbly submit to Thy Fatherly discipline, for Thou correctest in mercy, and for my profit.
Sanctify, I beseech Thee, in a particular manner this, my present affliction, give me patience under it, and a happy issue out of it. Let Thy Fatherly Hand ever be over me, and Thy Holy Spirit ever with me Whilst I live give me grace to serve thee faithfully in the high station in which Thou hast placed me; and when I have served my generation according to Thy will, vouchsafe me an easy passage to everlasting rest, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. | 56911318 |
Feel like doing nothing? We get it. It's your vacation and your time to do what you want to; just relax, breathe the pure oxygen from the rainforest, unwind and nourish the soul.
Read a book on the beach.
Practice floating in the warm tropical sea.
Take a nap in the hammock.
Hang out and scan the gulf for dolphins.
The beauty of relaxing at Saladero is there's still plenty to experience while just taking it easy.
A favorite place to relax is at the beach house in comfortable sofas and sling chairs. Enjoy the fresh breezes from the Golfo Dulce only 50' away from the beach.
A great place to read and enjoy an ice cold Imperial beer or a glass of wine. | 133929849 |
Combine the water, apple juice, salt, sugar, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, dried rosemary, and orange peel in a large pot and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat immediately, cover, and allow mixture to come to room temperature. Cool mixture in the fridge until you're ready.
Truss the bird and place it breast side up on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover the turkey tightly with heavy-duty foil. Make sure it's entirely covered (cover over the bottom edges of the pan). Place in the oven and roast for about 10 minutes per pound (a 20 pound turkey will roast for about 3 1/2 hours).
Remove the turkey from the oven and increase the temperature to 375 degrees F. Remove the aluminum foil and set aside. Mix the softened butter with the rosemary and orange zest and rub all over the skin of the turkey, covering every single inch of the skin. Insert a meat thermometer into the thigh, near the hip joint. Place the turkey, uncovered, back into the oven. Continue roasting the turkey, basting with butter every 30 minutes, until the thermometer registers 170 degrees F and until the juices are no longer pink. | 89932579 |
