- You are the third person today to ask me how long does it take to make a quilt.
- You just asked me to hem a pair of pants. Or replace the headliner in your car.
- You think it is okay to copy purchased patterns to pass out to your friends. And then you all go out for lunch at $25 a head.
- You just laughingly informed me that I’m not making any money if Juan isn’t running. After you just spent 20 minutes hanging out in my studio eating chocolate and chatting about your grandpa’s knee replacement surgery.
- You just whispered, posted or otherwise commented that using a computerized longarm is not real quilting. As you slip your smartphone into your pocket and slide into your fully automatic vehicle to drive to your day job at the bank where you use the Internet to transact business in a building built with power equipment while at home someone uses a riding mower to make your yard beautiful. Because technology is stupid.
- You make a comment under your breath indicating that you think your style of quilting is superior to that of other quilters.
- You think your way is the only way.
- You think that the way to make your dreams come true is by trying to crush someone else’s dream.
- You think nobody should be talking about you, but you don’t mind talking about everyone else.
- You think that you have just invented the wheel.
- You get yourself tied in a knot when I am not able to do what you have asked after you ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT listen to me when I told you that I was underskilled or overtasked.
- You refuse to understand that people’s lives and relationships are way more complicated that you will ever know. Withhold judgment. You will never have the whole story.
- You either don’t understand or don’t care that when I give you a handmade gift, it is the emotional equivalent to giving you a piece of my flesh.
- You are angry because I no longer give you handmade gifts, but I still do them for other people.
- You ask me for my opinion and then argue with me about it.
- You get angry with me for not giving you special treatment over someone else.
- You belittle or criticize me after I have finally broken down and asked for or accepted your help. It will only happen once.
- You drop off 5 trash bags of 35 year old acrylic and polyester fabric, yarn and stuffing, then giggle and call me a hoarder.
- You lightly tease me for having so many unfinished projects, right after you ask me if I have time to help you with decorations for your big event.
- You call me at 8:30 at night and say, “Do you have a minute?” And then proceed to ask me to be involved in some emotional manipulation of a third party. Let me be clear on this one. Do not ever ask me to help you manipulate someone else. In any form. Especially if said third party is a teenager. Or an adult. Or female. Or male. Ever.
- You make note that my house is dusty, my extra rooms are unorganized and that I haven’t made dinner for my family in three days, then ask me if I wouldn’t mind dog sitting while you go on vacay.
- I am hormonally unstable. In which case, all of the above may still warrant a trip on my crazy train, but I am much less able to prevent myself from printing you a ticket.

The iconic Auldstone Cellars in Taminick has been sold, with a private Chinese company swooping in just one hour before the winery was set to go under the hammer on April 21.
The 36ha winery, owned by Michael and Nancy Reid, first opened its doors in the 1980s before being restored by the couple in 1989.
Mr Reid said the sale had been a relief, as the couple was looking to retire — but he said they were leaving the business with ‘‘a certain degree of trepidation’’.
‘‘The offer came right at the 11th hour, or 12th hour I guess you could call it,’’ he said.
‘‘We were very keen for the good of the district to have the brand continue.’’
As the couple makes plans to retire, Mr Reid said he was happy to stay on for a number of months to help the new owners with the transition as they turn the winery into their own.
‘‘It’s probably important for them to put their own stamp on their wine,’’ he said.
‘‘That’s one of the great things about small wineries, the individuality of it.’’
The couple has previously exported wine into countries such as China, Singapore and Taiwan, and Mr Reid said he believed this was something the new owners could expand on.
‘‘They can take that further now quite easily,’’ he said.
‘‘It’s what the winery and the region needs.’’ |
The award, run by Keep Britain Tidy, pitted Victoria Park against 1,424 parks and green spaces in the annual poll and more than 7,000 votes were cast.
The park, which draws more than 275,000 visitors a year, reopened this year following a £12m redevelopment of the 86ha historic park, which was the biggest investment in the space since its creation in the 1840s.
New seasonal bedding contrasted aquatic plants and wildflower meadows around the perimeter. An old English herbaceous garden built in the 1800s was revitalised by Sarah Price, co-designer of the nearby Olympic Park and a pagoda was reintroduced.." |
“Immerse your soul in love”
September 21, 2008
Radiohead – “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” – Performed live at the All Points West Festival, Jersey City, NJ, August 8, 2008.
Radiohead – “There, There” – Live at All Points West, 8-8-08
Radiohead – “Jigsaw Falling Into Place” – Live at All Points West, 8-8-08
I was lucky enough to see Radiohead live on two consecutive nights this summer at the All Points West Festival in Jersey City, NJ. The Radioheads sure know how to put on a good show. All of these tracks come from the Friday night show, on August 8.
The band is very tight and together when they play live, as evidenced by these recordings. It is difficult to hear the contributions of each individual band member on the albums; seeing them live gives one a new appreciation for the structure of a Radiohead song. After seeing them live, I’ve discovered some of my favorite parts of certain songs are the background vocals provided by Ed O’Brien (he’s the tall one). Listen for these especially on “There, There.” The first comes about 1:57 into the song. I never paid much attention to these lines before because they just sound like mumbling if you don’t know the actual words being sung (read the lyrics here), but knowing what Ed is actually singing has added a new dimension to this song for me.
“Street Spirit (Fade Out)” is my favorite song from The Bends. The song sounds completely hopeless until the final lines: “Immerse your soul in love.”
“Jigsaw Falling Into Place” is a standout track from In Rainbows, the band’s latest effort, which is some of their best work yet.

For some reason over the past two years I just haven’t listened to Radiohead all that much. They were my favorite band for a long time but I had just had enough. However, over the past month I’ve really gotten back into them and have started to notice some of the little things you’ve mentioned. They are very good.
September 22, 2008 at 1:30 pm
I saw them a month or two ago at a GIANT venue in Cleveland. Lots of people were smoking all kinds of things. It gave me a strange appreciation for the wide audience they’ve been able to develop despite their odd, electro-pop tendencies.
Standouts from the live show for me were “15 Step” and “The Gloaming.” Good show.
September 22, 2008 at 2:26 pm
I saw them a while back in Charlotte. I am with Bailey on the band’s pure tightness. The songs sounded leaner and meaner than on record, and though I attended the concert with more people than live in my hometown, it felt like an intimate show. |

Scientists have shown that a protein which is abundant in the blood of young mice can delay the aging process and improve the activity levels of older mice. The study was carried out by researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the results were published in the journal Cell Metabolism
The protein in question is an enzyme called extracellular nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (eNAMPT), which catalyzes the production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a molecule found in every cell in the body. NAD is an essential part of the electron transfer chain in the mitochondria, the organelle responsible for producing energy in cells.
NAD declines dramatically as we age, and as such, scientists believe that increasing the amount of NAD may increase life expectancy and overall health.
Dr. Shin-ichiro Imai, MD, PhD, senior author of the study and a professor of developmental biology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, explained further.
“We think the body has so many redundant systems to maintain proper NAD levels because it is so important.
new study took eNAMPT from the blood of young mice and transferred it to older mice, finding that NAD levels improved and aging signs of aging such as decreased activity levels and poor fur quality.
The study showed that the lifespans of older mice increased by approximately 16 percent. As well as transferring blood between mice, Imai and colleagues also increased NAD levels in the mice by administering oral doses of a chemical called nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) that eNAMPT produces.
From these experiments, the research team found that the levels of eNAMPT in the blood displayed strong correlations with the number of days the mice lived.
Mice that were given eNAMPT lived substantially longer than control mice who received saline solution alone. One mouse eNAMPT surpassed 1,029 days old, or 2.8 years.
The research team was able to “predict, with surprising accuracy, how long mice would live based on their levels of circulating eNAMPT,” according to Dr. Imai.
Generally, rats, mice, and hamsters have lifespans of around 2 to 3 years in protected environments, but mice usually live for less than one year in the wild.
The hypothalamus is the portion of the brain that is critical in the aging process, and researchers found that the hypothalamus creates NAD with the eNAMPT enzyme.
Carriers called extracellular vesicles carry eNAMPT through the bloodstream to the brain in both mice and humans after it has been released from fat tissue. As blood levels of eNAMPT decrease, the hypothalamus is less able to function properly, thus decreasing lifespan.
Further studies are necessary to ascertain whether the results found in mouse studies will be replicable in humans.
“We don’t know yet if this association is present in people, but it does suggest that eNAMPT levels should be studied further to see if it could be used as a potential biomarker of aging.” |

James Taylor's Early Career
Taylor first learned the cello as a child, then switched to the
guitar in 1960. His style on that instrument evolved from listening
to hymns, carols, and Woody Guthrie, and would later become an
easily recognized linchpin of his sound. While attending Milton
Academy, a prep school in Massachusetts, Taylor met Danny Kortchmar
at Martha's Vineyard and the two began playing folk music together.
After dropping out of school, James formed a band with his brother,
Alex, then was committed to McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts
due to depression. He believes that this action on his behalf
saved his life..
While living in New York, Taylor became
addicted to heroin. After a desperate phone call, his father drove
to New York and "rescued" him. In 1968, Taylor moved
to London. He was signed to Apple Records after sending a demo
tape to Peter Asher (of Peter & Gordon) and released his debut
album, James Taylor.
after that, he broke both hands in a motorcycle accident on Martha's
Vineyard and was forced to stop playing for several months.

Hello :D Hope your Caturday has been a good one. So far so good here, except that it’s gloomy and rainy out right now. I did get out earlier though, while the weather was much nicer. It was an errand-walk to the pet supply store to get my cat Eddie some kibble. On the way home I caught sight of this fine feline, waiting to be allowed back inside. Seems to me that he (she?) knew I’d be coming along and that I would have my camera in my pocket, ready to take his portrait!
What did you get up to today? Did you see any cats?

the policy directly when you create it.
Create lifecycle policy
You use the create policy API to define a new lifecycle policy.
For example, the following request creates
my_policy, a
policy that defines a hot and and delete phase.
When the index reaches 25GB, it rolls over directly to the delete phase.
The index is deleted 30 days after rollover.
PUT _ilm/policy/my_policy { "policy": { "phases": { "hot": { "actions": { "rollover": { "max_size": "25GB" } } }, "delete": { "min_age": "30d", "actions": { "delete": {} } } } } }
ILM policies are stored in the global cluster state and can be included in snapshots by
setting
include_global_state to
true when you take the snapshot.
Restoring ILM policies from a snapshot is all-or-nothing.
The entire global state, including all policies, is overwritten when you restore the snapshot.
Apply lifecycle policy with an index template
To use a policy that triggers the rollover action, you need to configure the policy in the index template used to create each new index.
In addition to specifying the name of the policy in the
index.lifecycle.name setting,
you specify a
index.lifecycle.rollover_alias for referencing
the indices managed by this policy.
PUT _template/my_template { "index_patterns": ["test-*"], "settings": { "number_of_shards": 1, "number_of_replicas": 1, "index.lifecycle.name": "my_policy", "index.lifecycle.rollover_alias": "test-alias" } }
Create an initial managed index
You need to manually create the first index managed by a policy that uses the rollover action and designate it as the write
When you create an index directly, you can apply a lifecycle policy
by specifying the
index.lifecycle.name setting.
This causes ILM to immediately start managing the index.
PUT test-index { "settings": { "number_of_shards": 1, "number_of_replicas": 1, "index.lifecycle.name": "my_policy" } }
Do not manually apply a policy that uses the rollover action. Policies that use rollover must be applied by the index template. Otherwise, the policy is not carried forward when the rollover action creates a new index. |

The Hebrew word אמן amen (pronounced “ah-men” or, in Ashkenazi pronunciation, “uh-main”) is found in many places in the Bible.1
The Talmud 2 explains that there are three intentions within the word amen (depending on context):
1) An oath,3 2) acceptance of the statement or terms,4 3) confirmation of (or faithfulness in) the statement (e.g. belief, prayer, and faith that the statement will be fulfilled).5
As such, when the court would administer an oath, the person would answer “Amen,” and it was considered as if they themselves had sworn. Likewise, we reply “Amen” after hearing others recite prayers or blessings.
The word amen is versatile and is used to respond to blessings and prayers in praise of G‑d, as well as after hearing a request or supplication to G‑d.
When saying “Amen” after hearing G‑d’s praise, one’s intention would be “the blessing that was recited is true and I believe in it,” since the word amen signifies an affirmation of belief. The letters of the word amen are the root letters of the word emunah, meaning belief or trust.
And after hearing a request or supplication, one’s intent would be oriented more to the future — that the speaker’s statements and requests be affirmed and speedily fulfilled.
Many blessings contain both elements, so when saying “Amen” ideally one should have both intentions in mind — the intent that the statement is true, and the wish that the speaker’s statements be affirmed and speedily fulfilled.6
The Talmud7 explains that when saying “Amen,” one should be careful to prolong the word for the length of time it takes to say the words E-l Melech ne’eman (“G‑d, faithful King”). For ultimately this is the meaning of the term אמן - amen - an acronym for the Hebrew words א-ל מלך נאמן, El Melech ne’eman.
Our sages tell us that in some ways the person who responds “Amen” is even greater than the one who said the blessing,8 and when one responds “Amen” with the proper concentration it has the power to open the gates of Gan Eden and nullify negative decrees.9

Advance praise for Little Big Love “Fans of Jane Green and Susan Wiggs will enjoy British journalist Regan’s modern family drama that explores the age-old question of ‘what if’ and the aftermath of one poor decision.” —Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW
by Katy Regan
FACT: Families are messy. The Hutchinsons are messier.
Fact: What I wrote in my letter is still true: okay, my dad did abandon us, but how can he know he doesn’t want to be my dad if he’s never met me? And how could he and my mum stay in love if they never saw each other?
Fact: It is up to me to reunite them—because who else is going to do it?
Beloved U.K. author Katy Regan’s U.S. debut LITTLE BIG LOVE (Berkley Hardcover; June 12, 2018) is a make-youlaugh,.
Zac Hutchinson knows a lot about a lot. Who’s the fastest man on earth? Usain Bolt. How much of the Earth’s surface is covered in water? Seventy percent. What he doesn’t know is who his father is and why he left ten years ago. Enter Juliet Hutchinson, Zac’s mother and spiller of all family secrets, who, after a bad date and too much wine, lets the name of Zac’s father slip. Armed with nothing but a name and vision of happily ever after, Zac embarks on a mission to find his father and figure out what happened to make him leave.
LITTLE BIG LOVE explores the lengths people will go to protect their families and love in its many forms, including the deep bond between a single mother and her son. When Juliet’s husband left ten years ago, Zac became her entire world. And although the two of them don’t have much money, they’ve always had each other to get them through tough times—Juliet and Zac against the world. Always desperate for the other to find happiness, it’s this desperation that pushes them to try and “fix” each other—Juliet’s loneliness and Zac’s unhealthy relationship with food—and serves as a catalyst for Zac’s journey to find his father.
Regan, a former journalist and editor at Marie Claire magazine, makes the family drama feel real and the characters on the page come alive. Informed by her own experiences as a single mother raising a young son, Regan convincingly portrays the highs and the lows of parenthood and brilliantly captures the voice of each character: from self-deprecating modern mom Juliet; to working class man’s man Mick; to fact collecting, cooking-obsessed, tender-hearted Zac. As their chapters unfold so too does a deep-buried family secret that Mick has held onto, the reason Zac’s father disappeared, and a tragedy at the center of the family’s decade long disconnect.
Like Be Frank with Me and Where’d You Go, Bernadette, LITTLE BIG LOVE has at its center a warm, witty and endearing child protagonist. Part family drama, part coming of age tale, and filled with heart and humor— we dare you not to fall head over heels for LITTLE BIG LOVE and the Hutchinson family.
Author's Bio:. Visit her online at Facebook.com/KatyReganAuthor and @KatyReganWrites.
The 411:
Every family has some skeletons in their closet.
I am in the middle of the book so far and love it. I am totally invested in the lives of Zac, Juliet, Mick and even James. Juliet is doing her best as a single parent but she has a few flaws of her own to overcome before she can do right by her son. Zac has some bullying issues but is on a mission to find out anything about his dad and the mystery surrounding why he isn't in his life and why mom refuses to talk about him.
So far this book has been a perfect blend of heartbreak and loving moments. It is fast paced and I connected with each character individually. I love all the characters and cannot wait to see semi-dysfunctional family turns out in the end.

A Garrett Street for possession for the purpose in trafficking in a controlled substance. Police say she was found with approximately $10,000 worth of crystal methamphetamine in her possession while being searched. When officers continued their investigation at a nearby address, they said a larger quantity of the substance, worth almost $75,000, was found inside the residence.
The drug was contained in multiple plastic bags and other items normally used in drug trafficking, such as a digital weigh scale and smaller dime bags. Multiple cellphones with various SIM cards were also seized.
Pask was transported to police headquarters, lodged in cells and later attended a bail hearing where she was remanded into custody. She is also charged with two counts of breach of an officer-in-charge undertaking. |
A friend of ours recently came by and asked if we were interested in getting some free pears from her in-laws' trees. Food just for the picking? Of course!
The trees were overflowing with pears, but they weren't the pretty ones you see in the supermarket. These were smaller pears, hard-skinned and blotchy, but utterly delicious. We picked as many as we could that day (a half-bushel basket and a few bags full) and brought them home for processing. Getting them ready for canning is amazingly simple -- it takes nothing but time and a peeler, a grapefruit spoon, and a knife.
We ended up canning them in a light syrup, and have the recipe here.
Free pears
Prepping the pears takes time, but it's easy work and you end up with some of the most delicious pears you'll ever eat. Just put on your favorite music and get to work!
Small but delicious
The pears from this tree were small and unsightly, but very tasty. Some had cracks in them and ended up as pear juice, but the better ones like these were prepped for canning.
Peel the base
With your peeler, remove a ring around the bottom (blossom) end. Either cut it in a circle or if the pear is small enough, just take one swipe across the base.
A good beginning
With the base peeled, you're ready to begin working on the rest of the pear. Don't worry about the blossom spot -- you'll be removing it in a later step.
Peeling the skin
Peel from the bottom of the pear towards the skinny end. You don't need to remove the stem either -- it gets removed in a later step as well.
A bare pear
The bare pear. If there are any brown spots or mushy areas, remove them now. Some spots may appear "clear" and soft as well. These are places that aren't bad yet, but may spoil soon. I usually remove them.
A pot o' pears
Put all of the pears in a pan or colander. They may brown a little in the air, but if you're cooking them or canning them (like we did), a little color doesn't matter.
Washing them off
After you have them all peeled, rinse them off. There will be little specks of skin or blossom on them, so make sure they're clean before you start cutting and coring them.
Right down the middle
Split the pear in half, the long way. Try to get as close to the true middle as possible -- it will make the rest of the job go easier. You don't have to worry too much, though. It's never a difficult job.
Removing the seeds
Using a grapefruit spoon (if you have one) or a teaspoon, remove the seeds. Just work it under one edge of the seed area and swivel it around. It should come out in one clean scoop. If any of the seed is left behind, just do it again.
Cleaning it up
When the seeds are gone, use the spoon or a paring knife to cut out the blossom and stem. If there are any other discolored or mushy spots, clean them out now.
If you want to bake with them (like in gluten-free mix-and-match snack cake), just dice the pears into small pieces and measure out the amount you need. We did that with some of our pears, but left these in halves for canning.
Putting them in the jars
Once all of our pears were peeled, cleaned, and cored, they were canned. We made a light syrup with the halves and my capable assistant scooped them into jars.
The final product!
Fresh from the pressure canner. We'll be eating them all winter. From our original half-bushel of pears, we ended up with over a gallon of cut pieces (for use in pear crisp or gluten-free mix-and-match snack cake) and a gallon of halves in syrup, 3 quarts and 2 pints. There were even a few pears left over for eating and making into juice.

It's been 27 days since Jessica from Quilty Habit began her "My Favorite Quilt" series over at Sew, Mama, Sew. And it's taken me this long to share mine because I COULDN'T DECIDE!My quilt is Kaleidoscope, made during the Kaleidoscope Quilt Along with Elizabeth of don't call me betsy way back in 2011. It was during my first months of blogging, and I was still getting my feet wet in the online quilting community, still unsure about 'modern' fabrics, still very much a newbie at machine quilting. I chose to use mostly Denyse Schmidt prints, with some stash dots and other coordinates thrown in. I remember being really doubtful about my final fabric grouping, but Elizabeth assured me it was just fine.
Finally, I chose an oldie but a goodie.

Finally, I chose an oldie but a goodie.
Tell us about your favorite quilt. When did you make it? What pattern did you use? What fabrics?
Have your shown it at any quilt shows or entered it in any contests?
Not this one.
What memories does the quilt make you think of?
What I remember most - and one of the big reasons I chose it as my favorite - was the sense of accomplishment and pure satisfaction I found in this quilt's entire process and completion. In my reveal post at the time I stated, 'Usually when I finish a quilt, there's a sense of "well that was fun". Sometimes, "whew, I'm glad that's done". And occasionally, "wow, there's truly a part of me in this quilt". That third sentiment is how I feel about Kaleidoscope ... I feel like Kaleidoscope definitely has a little of my quilting journey pieced into it.'
What do you like best about the quilt?
I love the mix of fabrics. I like the little 'star' the quilting makes at each block's intersections. I'm still really fond of that plaid binding. And it's been washed numerous times, so it's really comfy cozy and crinkly.
How did you grow as a quilter while making it?
I totally went out of my comfort zone quilting this one. Deciding to quilt Kaleidoscope as I did scared me silly at the time. And it was the first time I quilted with 'colored' thread. I really went out on a limb choosing gray. haha
If you could make this quilt again, what (if anything) would you do differently?
I'm not sure I'd change a thing. I really like it just as it is.

Where is the quilt now?
Thrown over the back of the couch in our family room, where it's pretty much been ever since I took the last stitch. It's the one I reach for when the weather turns chilly.

This quilt is so bright and beautiful Debbie, the colours really zing! I made a sampler quilt with a quilt along for my second quilt and I too was a new quilter. I was totally out of my comfort zone and it wasn't perfect by any manner of means but the satisfaction I got when it was finished was out of this world.
Gorgeous quilt Debbie - love all of the blues and greens together and your quilting is perfect!
This is adorable quilt, Debbie! pattern is fantastic and the colours like freshing summer water! x Teje
I remember this one :) no wonder it's still a favourite :)
I remember that QAL, the quilt I made lives with my nephew who loves it. Yours is wonderful, I would not suggest a single change either. Thank you for sharing it today.
It's a great colour combo, but I'm bias ; )
Your 'early' quilting looks beautiful Deb
I can see why you love it! Some of my first quilts, or quilts that I tried something new on for the first time are my favorites too.
See, you always had good taste in fabric and fabric combos :)
HI,this is the most beautiful quilt in greens I've ever seen! Not that found of 'green fabric; but think I'd like to make one similar now! Thanks for sharing!
msstitcher1214@gmail.com
Good choice! It's beautiful and I love the fabrics!
Oh, Debbie, this is gorgeous! I've never seen this quilt of yours before so I'm so happy you're sharing it as your favourite. I'm smitten with your fabric choices and the design. Bravo!
I love your comment about being so bold to choose grey thread! If your former self could see the thread that you use now!!! :)
Grand choice :o)
Those aquas had me at "HELLO"!
I really like those greens!
What a beautiful zingy quilt. You must be so proud of it especially as you were fairly new to machine quilting too. Absolutely gorgeous. Is the pattern available please?
Ohhh . . like this one too Debbie. Love the fabric combinations.
Really love it! Great colors :)
This quilt is one of the few rocky road's I can find that's actually been quilted. It gave me just the inspiration I needed to quilt my own rocky road...that's been pieced and waiting for the last year. Thanks so much. k |

“Any leader of any country who believes that there is no climate change, I think he ought to be taken to mental confinement. He is utterly stupid”, Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi said on August 31.
These were off-the-cuff remarks as Tuilaepa's speech to the Lowy Institute, given ahead of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) in Nauru, was customarily diplomatic. But he could have been a lot harsher, especially considering Australia's long-standing bipartisan paternalistic and colonial approach to the Pacific Island nations.
Tuilaepa instead used the opportunity to point out that urgent action on climate change is needed.
His comments that the big powers, particularly Australia, China and the United States, were bullying Pacific Island nations to acquiesce to their strategic interests, while ignoring the plight of the island nations, were aimed at a wider audience.
While “the existential threat faced by some of our low-lying atoll states are being faced now”, the Pacific is “swimming in a sea of so-called ‘fit for purpose’ strategies”, Tuilaepa said, referring to the build-up of military competition. He said that this was contributing to “a far-reaching sense of insecurity” and that the Pacific Island nations “strongly believe in being part of a Blue Pacific continent that is free from military competition”.
Powerful players are “falling short of acknowledging the integrity of Pacific leadership”, Tuilaepa said, adding: “Some might say that there is a ‘patronising’ nuance in believing that Pacific nations did not know what they were doing.”
Tuilaepa’s words follow on from the stinging message given by Kiribati President Anote Tong before the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015. His intervention brought global attention to the devastating effects that climate change was already having on some of the lowest lying atolls in the Pacific Ocean.
Clean coal?
One could be forgiven for thinking the Samoan PM tailored his remarks towards the rearranged Coalition government in which the hard right sees an opportunity to push harder on coal despite clear evidence that it does not stack up environmentally, economically or, as in the case of the Pacific Islanders, morally.
Matt Canavan, the minister for resources and northern Australia — and unofficially the minister for the Adani mega coalmine in Queensland — has again revived the spurious idea of “clean coal” as a solution.
“We need to hearken to a new era of energy and resources abundance”, Canavan said on August 27. “God has given us an abundance of energy below the ground, but we need to convert that to an abundance above the ground to bring on more energy and lower prices.”
Perhaps this was what sparked Tuilaepa's observation that climate deniers were either stupid or needed to be given mental health care: only those who campaign for the dangerous status quo seem willing to believe that guilt-free coal is just around the corner.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology have been discredited for decades, including by supporters of coal power energy. And no one has come up with solutions to the huge cost and logistical challenge of transporting all the captured carbon dioxide and burying it.
Even if a super-efficient, lower emissions coal-fired power station could be developed, it would take many years to build and therefore not contribute to lowering energy prices in the near term.
As analyst James B. Meigs put it: “Coal will never be clean.
“It is possible to make coal emissions cleaner. In fact, we've come a long way since the ’70s in finding ways to reduce sulphur-dioxide and nitrogen-oxide emissions, and more progress can be made.
“But the nut of the clean-coal sales pitch is that we can also bottle up the [carbon dioxide] produced when coal is burned, most likely by burying it deep in the earth. That may be possible in theory, but it's devilishly difficult in practice...
“We don't know if the gas will stay buried. We could easily spend hundreds of billions injecting [carbon dioxide] into the earth only to have it start leaking out again in a few decades.
“None of this means that CCS is impossible to achieve. But it is a dangerous gamble to assume that it will become technically and economically feasible any time soon.”
It seems reason and science are no friends of climate deniers.
But with the PM's chief of staff hailing from the coal industry, the new energy minister being an ardent anti-wind campaigner and the environment minister being a former mining industry lawyer, what have they got to lose? An election, hopefully, on the back of a strong movement against fossil fuels.
Renewables
A June Lowy survey of 1200 people showed that an overwhelming majority (84%) support a shift to renewables, even if it requires greater government investment. Only 14% believe “the government should focus on traditional energy sources such as coal and gas, even if this means the environment may suffer to some extent.”
Fifty nine per cent said global warming is serious, up five percentage points since last year. Even among the 10% who were most sceptical of climate change, 40% still support a focus on renewables.
A good step in this direction would be to redeploy the more than $10 billion a year in government subsidies currently going to the mining industry towards renewables. There is no moral justification for this subsidy to an industry that is contributing to catastrophic climate change and threatening the very existence of Pacific Island nations.
Even on the economic front, wholesale electricity prices are forecast to almost halve over the next four years thanks to the growing supply of cheap renewable energy, according to data from the Renewable Energy Index. The data shows that since 2017 there has been a new boom in the supply of renewable energy, which has grown to the extent that it is exerting downward pressure on wholesale power prices.
GetUp!’s Miriam Lyons said the data showed that if the government was genuinely committed to bringing down energy prices, it would invest in renewables, with the take-up from the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRER) showing how popular it was.
Lyons said that in July alone rooftop solar installation had created enough renewable electricity to power 11.1 million homes, as well as lowering prices on power bills.
Given we are already seeing the seismic change that climate scientists have been warning us about, now is the time to rule out more coal-fired power.
As the Pacific Rim countries know all too well, climate change is the biggest threat of our time, and those radical extremists who deny it need to be dumped. |
Visitors to ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center will enjoy a new welcoming experience upon entering the 12,000-square-foot exhibit hall, where they are greeted with the mist of Mauna Kea as they enter a realm of contemplation, the Piko‘i Theater.
The gallery is designed to guide visitors’ ascent through colorful graphic imagery reflecting Hawai Island’s natural life forms and ecosystems.
Journey from Hawaii’s deep sea realm, shoreline, forests, upper elevations and realm of mist to Mauna Kea’s summit. Walking through mist created by a fog screen, visitors transition into the darkness and calm of the theater.
“Fog screen technology uses ultrasound to create tiny water particles two to three microns in diameter that envelop visitors in the fine mist of Lilinoe, a Hawaiian deity that resides on Mauna Kea,” said Kalepa Baybayan, associate director. “The microscopic droplets feel dry to the touch, just like air.”
Once inside the theater, visitors watch an eight-minute time-lapse film projected onto a panoramic 20-foot screen. The mesmerizing film was produced by astronomer Jean-Charles Cuillandre with music by Kanoa Withington. The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp. supported the film’s production.
Piko‘i refers to our connection to place, where we came from, origins and our environment. For many Hawaiians, Maunakea is the piko, point of connection to the Universe. Exiting ‘Imiloa’s new Piko‘i Theatre begins the journey of discovery of over 100 exhibits that focus on science and culture. |

CNET editors' review
- Reviewed on: 01/29/2007).
Performance
Overall, the Panasonic TH-50PF9UK delivers excellent picture quality that's solidly in the tradition of its lower-resolution commercial-model predecessors. Its black levels remain among the best we've seen for any plasma, color was mostly accurate, and details, as expected from a TV of this resolution, were superb. We did detect some false contouring in some scenes, and the primary color of green appeared yellowish, but that's about it for complaints.
Our first step in evaluating the TH-50PF9UK was to attempt to create the best picture possible by adjusting its image quality settings. Initially the Super Cinema setting provided the most accurate color temperature readings, but its gamma was off somewhat. We ended up using the Cinema mode, which allowed us to choose our gamma curve (the default 2.2 was nearly perfect), and calibrated the user-menu color temperature controls to arrive at an excellent grayscale overall (see the Geek box at the end of this review). We're used to the grayscales from Panasonic industrial plasmas having a green cast even after calibration, but that wasn't the case with the TH-50PF9UK. For our full user-menu settings click here or check out the Tips section.
After setup, we were able to compare the Panasonic directly to a couple of other displays we had on hand: the 65-inch rear-projection Mitsubishi WD-65831; Panasonic's lower-resolution sister set, model TH-50PH9UK; and the direct competition, Pioneer's excellent PRO-FHD1, another 50-inch 1080p plasma. Equipped with a PlayStation 3 playing back the Crank disc at 1080i, we settled back to see how the TH-50PF9UK looked.
The results were mostly great. The Panasonic exhibited excellent, deep black areas in the film's few dark scenes, such as when Chev (Jason Stratham) enters Sin City Disciples. The deepest areas of the film appeared slightly darker than on the Pioneer we had right next to the TH-50PF9UK, but the difference was very subtle. We were also impressed by the lack of noise in shadows, which appeared remarkably clean--more so than on the lower-resolution Panasonic TH-50PHUK.
The color on the TH-50PF9UK was a step below that of the Pioneer, however, but it was still more accurate than on most HDTVs. Color decoding was nearly perfect, so we could achieve great saturation and rich colors. The skin tones during the Chinatown outdoor tryst looked quite realistic; we could see the changes in tone in Eve (Amy Smart) from her arm to her upper chest, and her yellow dress was brilliant in the sun. But her skin appeared just a tiny bit too yellowish--a result of the Panasonic's inaccurate green primary--and some green areas, like a pepper in the kitchen, were also slightly yellow. We stress "slightly" because the difference was hardly enough to spoil the experience, and was mostly apparent because the Pioneer's green was significantly more accurate.
One area where the difference wasn't as subtle appeared in a couple instances of false contouring we saw with the Panasonic. At the one-hour mark for example, when Chev and Eve climb down a fire escape, the sun in the sky had a couple of distinct rings in the area of transition from light to the blue of the sky; the rings were also visible on the other Panasonic plasma, but not on the Pioneer or the Mitsubishi. We also saw a similar effect in the white light of the windows inside Sin City Disciples, and in the cell in Aeon Flux. Instances with visible contouring were still rare, however.
As we expected from the very sharp Crank Blu-ray, detail was spectacular. When Chev jumps into the pool to talk to Carlito, we could see every droplet of water on their faces, down to reflections in the droplets themselves. In the scene where Chev chops off the guy's hand, we could see the incredibly fine texture of the guy's blood-soaked polo shirt. When he crashes his car in the mall (15:26 into the movie), the image was sharp enough to easily detect the fake-looking green-screen work as he rides the upturned car up the escalator. As with the Pioneer, the Panasonic easily resolved every detail of a 1080i test pattern from our Sencore signal generator, although we were not able to test 1080i deinterlacing.
Of course, the sharpness had more to do with the disc than with the Panasonic's high resolution. We compared scenes directly with the lower-resolution TH-50PH9UK, and time after time they looked essentially identical from our seven-foot seating distance. Only when we got really close could we detect any difference, and then only in very highly detailed areas like blocks of cement or Strathan's ubiquitous stubble. One benefit of the high resolution is that individual pixels are invisible from distances farther than about six inches, so if you actually do want to sit five feet away, you'll see pixel structure on the 1,366x768 TH-50PH9UK but not on the 1080p TH-50PF9UK. But we imagine very few people want to sit that close to a 50-inch plasma.
We also checked out some of the standard-definition tests from HQV, at 480i resolution via component video, and the Panasonic turned in a relatively good performance. It conveyed every detail on the DVD, the image was relatively sharp, and 2:3 pull-down detection functioned well. The Panasonic's noise reduction also took care of the snowy interference in low-quality scenes, although it wasn't as effective as the Pioneer. The TH-50PF9UK also had a difficult time smoothing out jagged edges on diagonal lines.

INGREDIENTS
Small petaled flowers
Ice cube or cupcake/muffin tray
Water
Freezer
STEP TWO: Place petals into ice cube/muffin tray cups. I chose to go with a spring look, so I combined pink, purple, and white with most of them. Some I left with two colors (white and yellow). Experiment with the look you want to have!
STEP FOUR: Slide the tray into the freezer. Leave in for at least 1.5 - 2 hours. When frozen, pull the tray out, wait for 5 minutes for cubes to begin melting then, using a knife around the edges, gently loosen and wiggle the cubes until they can slide out. Pop into a cup/pitcher of water, lemonade, or iced tea and - voila! - you've got a classy a** drink. If desired, you can put the cubes into tea leaf bags so that, when they melt, the flowers will stay contained and not get swallowed up!
These are beautiful!
thanks for good post more ceramic cookware reviews from here
MARJORIE YOU'RE SO AWESOME!!!

This will be great for my spring parties. Thanks for sharing!

Pretty! If you boil the water the ice cubes should come out clear :)
Don't waste your money on these pans. they work for a few weeks, but after that you'll be using more and more oil to keep food from sticking. Eventually even the oil won't help. One of the worst kitchen utensils I ever bought.

Cobblers boss blasts mentality
Northampton manager Aidy Boothroyd accused his team of believing their own hype after they were beaten 3-0 by Chesterfield.
Last Updated: 12/01/13 7:58pm
Northampton manager Aidy Boothroyd accused his team of believing their own hype after they were beaten 3-0 by Chesterfield.
The game was decided in the space of eight minutes when midfielder Jay O'Shea opened the scoring before Marc Richards bagged two goals to give the Spireites their first win of 2013.
Boothroyd admitted: "When you go on a little run and people start to talk about you, you have an opportunity to build a reputation and that reputation can sometimes be better than you actually are.
"I am thoroughly disappointed because we never played for 30 minutes and you can't do that against teams that are up for it. You have to give credit to the opposition but we were complacent and thought we were better than we were for 30 minutes.
"We got a good hiding and when you get a good hiding, you have to take it. We have to make sure we learn lessons from this. We've still got a lot of work to do and that first 30 minutes was unacceptable in so many ways." |

Summary: Anirudh Gupta offers investment planning tips for Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) owners, keeping in mind their unique challenges and opportunity costs they face. Read further to learn how you can optimise your investments portfolio.
“Failing to plan, is planning to fail.” This famous quote by Alan Lakein, perfectly describes the importance of planning, especially for business owners. If there is one thing even more important than the plan - it is what drives this plan. This is particularly true for investment planning which requires clear focus, medium and long term goals and aligning your plan with your business goals.
In the case of SMEs there are certain considerations when it comes to investment planning:
Income is not as predictable as a person with a monthly salary
SMEs may not be inclined to taking money out of the business
They often have unrealistically high expectations from the investment market because they think of themselves as traders and not investors
Their focus may be simply on next week’s trade
An absence of a longer view when it comes to money is common
Consequently, investment planning depends on the above and how well the investor i.e the small business owner, understands the risk associated with the investments. Risk management is not about avoiding the risk, it is about mitigating the risk to one’s risk tolerance.
A good investment plan factors in the following:
Winning plan: Many SMEs do not have their investments done to prioritise safety, liquidity and growth. Their investment strategy is haphazard and many SMEs have suffered on account of lack of long-term planning. A winning plan takes care of liquidity, taxation and growth needs.
Focus on key goals: Key goals are generally well conceived. However the investment instruments to get there are not exactly the optimal choice.
Eg: One of our associates has a reasonable amount of real estate. However he keeps adding to it. He thinks that it will secure his family. However real estate is illiquid and hence it might pose a risk when in need of financial liquidity in near term.
Identify whether you are a trader or an investor
Many people confuse trading with investing. They hear a success story of a friend at a party, and decide that the payoff is better with trading. Many of them face disappointment as they are not well prepared. Payoff in our opinion depends on:
Your understanding of the investment
Patience with ups & downs
Focus on key goals
This keeps the process objective. As per our experience, it is important to separate trades and investments as that helps to allocate more prudently.
Preferably invest in listed instruments
There are many exotic products, however if the instrument is listed then the chances of getting liquidity faster and when needed becomes crucial especially in a SME context where liquidity not only affects survival but also growth.
This is relevant advice for mutual funds or hedge funds, wherever liquidity is available.
Once you have devised an investment plan, stick to it! That is the key to success over time.

Three years into the Iraq War, some protesters have blisters on their heels from marching and are looking for new ways to express their disapproval. So last week, a handful of Bay Area firebrands turned to war tax resistance: By withholding some or all of their federal income tax, they kept the government from turning their dollars into a couple of widgets and bolts on a bunker buster bomb. It's a noble American tradition, after all. Henry David Thoreau withheld his cash to protest the Mexican-American War, and during the Vietnam War Congressman Ron Dellums tried to legalize tax resistance as a form of conscientious objection. Now, the number of resisters is on the rise again although with people wary of consequences, many opt for symbolic gestures. Read on for three different ways to raise a middle finger to the Department of Defense.
I'll pay, but I won't like it. Those who aren't ready for a serious confrontation with the government have found plenty of creative ways to express their dissent while still paying up. Susan Quinlan has seen it all as the organizer of Northern California War Tax Resistance. Some indulge in a theatrical gesture, like packaging the tax forms and check inside a small cardboard coffin to get the point across. Others pay all but a symbolic amount like $49, to represent the 49 percent of federal taxes that resisters say is used to support war. Of course, the IRS will probably come to collect the balance, but Quinlan says every act of protest is valuable. "It really is a personal decision," she says, "and people can register their resistance in a way that feels right to them." Such people would be wise to include an explanatory note, however, so that the IRS registers the missing dollars as a protest, and not an error in check writing.
Upside: A protest with very little hassle.
Downside: A protest with very little impact.
I won't pay, and you can't make me. For David Gross, 2003.
I won't pay until you make me. Richmond resident Marilyn Langlois is taking the double-barreled, come-and-get-me approach. Through talking with conscientious objectors as a volunteer on the GI Rights Hotline, she came to feel that she too should stop cooperating with what she sees as an immoral war. So this year she filled out her 1040, but substituted a letter in place of the roughly $10,000 the IRS is expecting. "I feel deeply saddened knowing that federal tax dollars pay for torturing, traumatizing, and killing so many of my brothers and sisters in the human family," she wrote in her note to the IRS. Langlois is instead donating the money to nonprofits that do good, peaceful work in the world, and is bracing herself for whatever happens next. "If the U.S. government feels it has to come after me and take these taxes from me by force, so be it," she says. "I'm just not going to give them willingly."
Upside: The satisfaction of taking a strong stand.
Downside: Unless Langlois' letter slips through the cracks, the taxmen will try to get the money from her bank account or wages, complete with fines and interest. |

Taking action in your marketing has many forms, and even though there are correct ways to do so from so many experts. There are certain things or what I call guides to ensure your performance on all your content. Here is a list of many ways to exceed your campaign.
Number 1
Choose your specific niche and cling to it
You want to assume of on your own as the go-to source for details in your industry when it comes to content advertising. This needs you to choose a particular niche, discover every little thing you could regarding the people in that market, then make practical, helpful, and shareable content particularly for that group of people. Then keep developing more content to keep those individuals returning for more, sharing with their friends and co-workers, and talking about your business.
Number 2
Know the 5 Ws for your target market
Selecting a niche is merely the first step to targeting your content marketing, you additionally should consider the ways you want to reach your audience and exactly what you desire them to do as soon as they discover your content. Using the 5 Ws of marketing can help you determine the answers.
- Which are you attempting to get to with your material marketing?
- What do you want people to do when they have the ability to your content?
- When do you desire them to buy there?
- Where should they pursue?
- Why should they care?
Exactly how are you getting them to come back?
Thinking of these subjects could truly assist you identify the message you want to send out to your audiences.
Number 3
Don’t forget regarding your aesthetic content
When you assume content marketing, it’s easy to assume that we’re just discussing composed content, including anything from your blog posts, to e-mails, or content on your company website. Content could be visual, too. Think about your advertising and marketing videos and any type of infographics you’ve produced. Photos and videos are equally vital to your viewers as what you write, and making the effort to include all sorts of media in to your material marketing could truly settle in the future. According to the Online Publishers Association, 80 % of web individuals remember viewing a video ad on an internet site they checked out in the previous 30 days. Of that 80 %, 46 % took some action after checking out the advertisement. Could you claim the very same regarding your composed material?
Number 4
Bring in site visitors with beneficial information
No person wishes to involve a web page with the potential customer of obtaining information they can make use of only to win fluff. Provide your leads and consumers content they could gain from and show their peers. You’ll need to determine their pain factors and any sort of problems they’re having in their function, and afterwards identify exactly how your business or product can help. Reeling in the money is still important, however with content advertising it’s more concerning concentrating on the customer’s requirements prior to your very own and getting on the goals you want your content to accomplish. It has to do with doing a lot more with much less.
Number 5
Obtain the devices you need to be successful
If you do not have the devices you need to create the convincing material individuals long for, thoroughly intending your material advertising and marketing technique won’t aid. When planning your content advertising strategy, it is necessary to have devices to help you with collaboration in between groups, with imaginative demands like images and videos, and to assist you discuss your material with your prospects and customers. Thinking ahead about these points could save you from scrambling for a beneficial tool while you’re producing material, inevitably saving you time in the long term.
Number 6
Reuse your alreadying existing resources
People discover most from other people like them, so utilize your client stories to your advantage. Show off your client’s excellence and other individuals will wish you to help them in the same way. It’s a lot easier to take something you’ve already acquired and repurpose it for other uses than it is to develop something from the ground up. That includes your white papers, blog posts, and any sort of evergreen material that succeeded with customers. Use all of it! Don’t eliminate yourself producing brand new material when alreadying existing material will get the job done.
Number 7
Post material on a regular basis
Supplying valuable content every now and then will not cut it when it involves material advertising and marketing. You have to offer beneficial details on a steady basis in order to be an idea leader in your sector and keep individuals coming back for more. Whether that includes weekly e-mails, a video clip set, post, or daily social networking sites exchanges, you intend to make it easy for individuals to locate you. Think of just how one item of content could be increased. You could possibly produce one lengthy video clip, or you could possibly create a collection of 3 brief videos. Discovering methods to break long-form material in to shareable chunks is a really simple way to ensure you always have material handy to post.
Number 8
Assume like a publisher
It’s vital to don’t forget that the details will certainly live on when you create content for content marketing objectives. New eyes will see your blog posts, your customer will certainly share your material with their pals, and you could constantly repurpose any content to work for you differently. A blog post could turn into a video clip collection or a tips-and-tricks video could become a detailed quick guide on your site. It enables you to assume about all of the ways one piece of material could be made use of and repurposed as a property for your company when you assume like a publisher.
Number 9
Understand where social media sites fits in
While numerous of the leading content advertising and marketing instances consist of social networking sites, it is very important to keep in mind that social media and content advertising are 2 really various things. Social media is a terrific way to build brand recognition and get in touch with current clients, however content advertising and marketing is much more about generating targeted leads and moving new consumers via the sale funnel. While the standard short and fast messages that go along with social networking sites can sustain your content advertising initiatives, social media sites need to not be made use of to store your material. The content you develop should essentially survive your web site and be more irreversible compared to a tweet or Facebook post. After that you can use social media to promote that material and bring in new clients back to your site where they could train much more as soon as you post content to your website.
Number 10
Determine your end goal
Having an end goal in consciousness will aid every person on your team stay current and connected. Consider just what you’re wishing to achieve with this content marketing. Is it brand name recognition? Is it list building? Idea management? An increase in sales? A membership to your business newsletter, webinars, or whitepapers? Whatever it is for your business, setting a plan for your material will keep everyone on the very same page and help you establish whether or not your material marketing initiatives have been successful.
When you think material advertising and marketing, it’s simple to assume that we’re merely speaking concerning composed content, consisting of anything from your blog site articles, to e-mails, or text on your company site. Thoroughly preparing your material marketing technique will not help if you don’t have the devices you need to produce the engaging content folks crave. When planning your material advertising and marketing strategy, it’s crucial to have tools to help you with collaboration between groups, with creative necessities like pictures and videos, and to assist you share your content with your customers and customers. When you produce material for material advertising functions, it’s crucial to don’t forget that the information will certainly live on. While several of the leading material advertising and marketing instances include social media, it’s important to keep in mind that social media and content advertising and marketing are 2 extremely different things. |

There are several pet supplements for cats available on the market. The various types of products are often confusing to veterinarians and pet owners alike. Although the most common supplements are commercially available cat vitamins, they can also be homemade. Homemade pet supplements for cats can provide your feline with the nutrients he or she needs for long, healthy life.
There are four main types of cat health issues that can benefit from the use of homemade cat vitamins. They are hair loss, urinary problems, coat condition, and eye health. All of these can be helped with the use of everyday pet supplements for cats. Cat food may not be the best source of nutrients for hair loss. Therefore, if you’re concerned about the health of your cat’s coat, it may be a good idea to try supplements for cat vitamins instead.
The fourth health problem that supplements for cats can help with is urinary problems. Cat urinary problems are frequently caused by the lack of the right nutrients. The right ones, of course, are found in the proper diet. Cats do not need supplements to address their urinary problems because the correct diet is the best way to solve them in the first place.
The fourth category of problem that supplements for cats can help with is coat condition. If you notice your cat isn’t as shiny as it once was, perhaps you should consider adding some cat vitamins to his or her diet. Several commercial pet supplements on the market will help with this problem. However, homemade pet supplements for cats are the best way to make sure your feline is getting all the nutrients he or she needs. Many pet parents choose to give their pets commercial pet supplements rather than homemade ones because they think homemade products are more expensive than the more expensive pet supplements for cats.
The fifth health problem that cat owners need to know about is cat arthritis. Cats are really prone to osteoarthritis, which is why it is so important to give them a quality pet supplement. The cat joint supplement omega-3 can really help your pet maintain healthy body weight and avoid painful arthritis that comes with the disease. The fatty acids found in the fish oil are very effective at reducing inflammation, which means that arthritis attacks may be less frequent and be less severe overall.
Liquid cat supplements for cats are also very useful. Although the liquid supplements are absorbed more quickly into the body, the solid form is longer lasting. If you feed your cat mostly canned food, then the solid cat food may be better because the liquid supplements are faster absorbed. Some people choose to feed their cats canned food with a supplement added to it to make sure that he or she gets all the nutrients that are needed. However, you should make sure you read the label carefully because not all cat supplements contain the same things.
There are many different kinds of supplements for cats that you can buy. You can find them in any pet store, and you can also buy them online. The only thing you should remember when buying pet supplements for cats is to make sure they have been approved by the FDA. You can check the label to see whether or not the supplement has been clinically proven to benefit your pet.
Liquid cat food is probably best for older cats and overweight ones. But if your pet is healthy and has good health, then it really doesn’t matter what kind of pet supplements for cats you decide to give him or her. Just make sure you take the time to check the label to make sure the nutrients are properly incorporated in the food. And don’t feed your cat too much food at once, because this can cause excess fat gain. |

My Turn: I Stopped Talking and Started Walking
"Let's take a walk," my husband often suggested. A simple enough request and yet, one I often turned down. My excuses were many: I'm too tired. Too busy. I just started dinner. It's too wet outside. Too hot. Too windy. Just about any excuse would do as long as it prevented me from participating in this innocuous form of physical activity.
But why? I've always loved to walk. As a teenager, it wasn't unusual for me to take long introspective jaunts along the towpath that paralleled the Delaware River near my parents' southeast Pennsylvanian home. When my oldest daughter was a baby, I'd strap her into a backpack carrier and wander for hours on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. On my own, I meandered through local neighborhoods, explored wilderness areas and long stretches of sandy shoreline. But I never took those walks for exercise. I did them for the simple pleasure of being outside on foot.
Walking is a very basic physical activity, one that requires no real training and little more apparatus than a comfortable pair of shoes. Done routinely, it can prevent or improve medical conditions like diabetes, stroke, obesity, osteoporosis and heart disease. It's a much-touted stress reducer and mood booster. And yet, more often than not, when my husband asked me to accompany him on his daily constitutional—a quick-paced three-mile loop around the lake—my response was usually "no".
Try Newsweek for only $1.25 per week
These days it's different. I'm the initiator, frequently asking Ralph to join me on those very same walks. What happened?
It began when I decided it was time to finally lose the extra 10 pounds I'd been carting around for the past 14 years. Couple that with a need to strengthen my deteriorating bones with some sort of weight-bearing exercise, and I began to see walking in a different light. Although there are beautiful walking paths right outside my front door, a treadmill provided me with something that nature couldn't—an acceptable reason to watch an hour of mindless TV.
Since I never belonged to a gym, using a treadmill was brand new to me. I had no choice but to take it slow. After several weeks of daily walking to daytime TV shows, I became comfortable striding along at just over three miles per hour. At that pace, I was exerting enough energy to sweat profusely. Each day the digital counter ticked off calories in the mid-300 range, a measurement that I found encouraging to watch. After a while, I got so used to my daily diet of TV and treadmill that, on the rare occasion when I did accompany Ralph on an outside walk, I felt like we were moving too slowly.
But as the weather improved, the idea of exercising outside became more attractive, and soon Ralph and I were taking our daily ramble together. For the past several months, my treadmill has gotten more use as a clothes rack than anything else. All my walks have been outside and most of them have been with my husband. Eight of the 10 pounds I was hoping to lose are gone—thanks, in no small part, to my walking regimen.
These days when I take a walk, I do it for exercise, but that doesn't mean I'm oblivious to nature around me. My feet may be striding along speedily but my eyes take their time, meandering slowly and meditatively across the landscape, sky and ground. I'm not so strict that I won't stop to pick up a pretty feather or pause to watch a turtle make its way across the path.
Although it took me the better part of half a century to realize, I now know it's possible to have fun while exercising. When my husband says, "Let's take a walk," my response is a snappy, "Sure," as I scurry off to find and lace up my sneakers. Despite years of trying to wiggle my way out of it, I've learned that sometimes the best excuse is no excuse at all. |

Djordje Cenic, Hermann Peseckas
synopsis
The documentary filmmaker Djordje Cenic sets out on an autobiographical journey that starts in the "guest workers' milieu" of the Austrian regional capital Linz in the 1970s and takes him to his family's war-torn ancestral village in Croatia. In comically absurd as well as tragic episodes describing small victories and major defeats, homesickness and class distinctions, the film offers - using home movies, photographs and current professional footage - deep insights into the filmmaker's family history. It is an attempt to illustrate the balancing act between "up here" (Austria) and "down there" (Yugoslavia/Croatia) that characterizes generations of guest workers.
The festival, which unspools from 5-9 April, will present docs and features, many of which delve into family relations; the Focus Europa section will be...

As a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Systems Biology, I am currently working on developing the Protein Catalyzed Capture Agents (PCCs) for the detection and inhibition of KRas protein. During the doctoral course, I have developed several electrochemical sensors for detecting anthrax protective antigen, norovirus, and DNA methylation. In the future, I would like to combine my prior training in electrochemistry with a developed PCC for the early diagnosis of cancer or the inhibition of oncoproteins.

Session Title: Patient Outcomes, Preferences, and Attitudes Poster II: Patient Perspectives
Session Type: ACR Poster Session C
Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM
Background/Purpose: The offer of injectable MTX worldwide expanded during past few years with different types of enhanced devices such as prefilled syringes and autoinjector pens. SELFi trial intended to compare historical MTX prefilled syringes vs a new MTX autoinjector in terms of treatment adherence, functional capacity, and patients’ preference at 6 months in RA patients.
Methods: SELFi was a phase III, randomized open-label trial, conducted in France between Sept. 2015 and March 2017. It included RA patients, treated by oral or injectable MTX for ≥3 months in monotherapy or in association. Patients were randomized in two arms: MTX in prefilled syringes (PS) or MTX in autoinjectors (AI) at the dosage decided by the investigator. Primary co-criteria of the study were non-inferiority of AI vs PS in terms of patients’ compliance (measured by the investigator at each visit) and functional capacity (HAQ-DI) at 6 months. Secondary criteria included patients’ satisfaction and preference.
Results: Between Sept. 2015 and Sept. 2016, 50 rheumatologists, mostly with private practice, included 271 patients, 197 of which composed the per protocol population. Patients baseline characteristics were [mean (±SD)]: age: 59.2 (±12.3) yrs; BMI: 26.0 (±4.9) kg/m²; RA duration: 5.35 (±6.70) yrs; DAS28: 3.1 (±1.2); HAQ-DI: 0.6 (±0.6). All patients were treated by MTX (1/3 oral; 2/3 parenteral) at a mean dose of 15.4 (±4.1). There were no significant differences at baseline between PS and AI arms. Proportion of good compliers (>80%) was 89.9% vs 94.9% (AI vs PS): -5% [CI 95% -18.9%; 8.9%]. HAQ decreased by a mean of 0.06 in both groups. Percentage of change was 21.3% vs 22.4% (AI vs PS): -1.1% [-35.0%; 32.7%]. Due to the high data variability, the non-inferiority could not be proved in strict sense, but differences did not appear as relevant.
Patients’ reported satisfaction was very significantly higher (p≤0.001) in AI arm vs PS for the following criteria: easy to use, pleasant, satisfying, willingness for further utilization and significantly higher (p<0,05) for reassuring and not constraining. Of the 132 patients who could try the both devices (during the study or in previous experiences), 127 (96%; p<0.001) preferred the autoinjector over the historical prefilled syringe. No unexpected safety issues were observed during this trial and injection point safety tolerance satisfaction was higher for AI vs PS.
Conclusion:
SELFi trial showed that although the non-inferiority of the new MTX autoinjector vs the historical prefilled-syringe was not proved in strict statistical sense, they seem comparable in terms of treatment compliance and functional capacity improvement. Besides the pen is significantly superior in terms of patients’ satisfaction and more than 95% of patients who have tried both devices declare preferring it over the syringe.

Unless you are the victim of wakefulness and you have not had a long night of peaceful sleep in a long time, you will not be likely to know much about the subject. Many young people deal with this problem every day in their lives and then they have to go to work or school in the morning because the system and the rat race do not allow for sleep problems or excuses. Sadly not being able to sleep does not necessarily count as an illness and will not be accepted as a reason for getting late to work or to school.
In fact, insomnia which is a very real problem, is not considered a problem at all and is often ignored by many people but what they do not realize is that lack of sleep could be ruining their bodies severely and making their internal organs weak. Our bodies function on a sleep and wake cycle and it is when we are asleep that our organs clean themselves and become stronger. This is why doctors recommend a minimum of eight hours sleep every single day.
Symptoms and cures
Many specialists who study sleep studies show that a lack of sleep on a regular basis can result in various problems and you can get very sick by not having the right amount of sleep. Usually, these signs of weakness will begin to show on your face with dark circles around your eyes or an acne break out in the first stages with many other issues as time passes which can be a lot more serious.
Although the subject has not been studied in great detail, specialists have found that there are many medical issues and conditions that can result in sleeplessness. Some of these conditions include asthma, arthritis due to the pain, gastrointestinal issues, reflux and other severe pains. If the condition is temporary and a result of a temporary condition such as a sprain or a broken bone, you should not worry too much as it will pass off with time and a few strong pain killers should help you to sleep easier. However, if the problem is long lasting, you will want to have it checked up by a doctor as it can cause many dangerous issues. You need to identify the cause of your problem and find out if it is a result of some other condition or if it is a problem of its own. If it is another condition such as asthma that is causing it then you need to find a way to treat that condition. |

Background
Fast-paced urbanisation and rising per capita incomes have seen an exponential increase in demand for mobility to move people and goods. This, in turn, has seen a sharp rise in ownership of motor vehicles – particularly 2 and 3 wheelers.
The surge in motorised vehicle ownership comes with grave ramifications. This will not only increase the burden on fuel sources and oil imports, but also impact greenhouse gas emissions that are critical for India to meet its NDC targets. Additionally, this will further compound the environmental concerns of air pollution in Indian cities which already account for ten of the twenty most polluted cities in the world. All these factors will impose heavy costs on the economic output and public health of the country. IEA has noted that energy related air pollution, in which the transportation sector plays a dominant role, has cost India about USD 160 billion in 2009.
Several top-down policy, planning initiatives and upcoming standards and labelling for energy efficient cars are gaining momentum. However, despite the sizeable share of two and three wheelers in petrol and diesel sales purchasing decision would have on the environment.
There are several international precedents of environmental rating for vehicles such as in the United States (ACEEE’s Green Score), US Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Vehicle Guide, Australia (Green Vehicle Guide), Belgium (Eco-Score), the United Kingdom (Green Car Rating), Eco Vehicles Rating (Mexico). No environmental economics based framework has been created to rate the environmental impacts of emissions and efficiency in two and three wheelers in India.
Goal
This project aims to develop an environmental rating for two and three wheelers that will create awareness in users and shift their demand towards greener variants that rely in low emissions technology and high fuel economy. The two-wheeler segment has seen a relatively faster growth rate in comparison to other segments of motor vehicles in India – from 8.8 percent in 1951 to 73.5 percent in 2015. Of the total petrol sales in India, two wheelers consume 61.42 percent of petrol sales. The three-wheeler vehicle segment consumes about 28.48 percent of total diesel consumed by the transport sector. Collectively, they exert enormous pressure on energy security, oil imports, and environmental health from rising air pollution and carbon emissions.
Approach
- This project will rate top selling 10-15 models in two and three-wheeler segments based on fuel economy and pollutant levels.
- The ratings will be disseminated through a consumer oriented web portal that they will be able to use while deciding to buy vehicles.
- The methods used will be translated into simple language that consumers can easily understand and feel confident about the logic behind the rating.
Benefits of Rating
- Recognises the top performers – greenest 2W and 3W – in the auto market
- Enable consumers in taking more informed decisions that lean towards opting for low emission two and three wheelers vehicle models
- Contribute to offsetting transport related oil imports in India
- Enable policy makers to identify the cleanest and greenest passenger car models and inform policy decisions while creating the right mix of regulations and incentives to stimulate lowering of emissions and increase in fuel economy and create a level playing field for automakers to roll out efficient products.
With two wheelers comprising nearly three fourths of the total vehicles fleet in India as of 2015, reducing emissions and fuel consumption in this segment of transportation sector will also pay huge dividends in achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals #7: Affordable and clean energy, #3 good health and well-being and #11 sustainable cities and communities, along with helping India stay on track with NDC targets of reducing emissions by 33-35 percent from 2005 levels.
Main Outcomes
- Developing an environmental performance rating for two and three-wheeler vehicles
- Disseminating the environmental performance ratings to target audiences on a web platform
- HDV chassis dynamometer tests
Expected Impact
In the mid-term, the environmental rating for two and three wheelers will give consumers more awareness on the environmental costs of their vehicle purchase, and comparative performance of models in the two and three-wheeler segments. The environmental rating will help in segregating the two and three wheeled vehicles based on emissions and energy consumption.
In the longer term, as consumers account for the environment in their vehicle purchase decisions with the help of this rating, it will transform the market and push the auto industry to prioritise environmental impacts of vehicles as they develop technologies and manufacture vehicles.
The cumulative reduction in emissions and fuel consumption in the two and three-wheeler segment will benefit energy security, energy related pollution impacts on citizens and in the emissions reduction targets of India.

Public meeting in Bombay in mid-1994 featured several politicians, among them Manohar Joshi of the Shiv Sena, one year away from becoming Chief Minister of Maharashtra. There was some discussion about the increase in India's population. Joshi weighed in with this: "We will not allow Hindus to be overtaken by the Muslim population!" This statement accurately reflected Joshi's expressed sentiment in Anand Patwardhan's film Father, Son and Holy War. He is seen exhorting the Hindu women at an election rally to combat the spectre of a rising tide of Muslims by producing, I swear, eight children each.
Public meeting in Lucknow on January 6 2007 featured a Samajwadi Party politician by name Ahmad Hasan, minister of -- I swear again -- family planning in the Uttar Pradesh Government. This was after a "Pulse Polio awareness rally" to tell people about giving their kids the polio vaccine the next day. Hasan told the Muslim women in his audience that they could "produce as many healthy children as you can afford" and that his Government would give them Rs 1400 for each child.
Good start made by those two, don't you think? (One of them, let me remind you, minister for family planning).
So now we need politicians belonging to your other major religions -- your Parsis, your Christians, your Jains, your Buddhists, your atheists, your typists, your morningmists -- to step forward, pick up this gauntlet, bell the cat with two birds in the hand and run the proverbial 1.6 km with it. That's right: we need all these politicians to exhort their womanly co-religionists to produce major numbers of babies. (Men are, of course, irrelevant to this business).
Right away. Right now. Tonight if possible. No wussy excuses like waiting nine months. After all, our suburban trains -- to pick just one example -- are only packed to 54.73 times their capacity during rush hour. We had better up that to 148.928 as soon as possible.
Then we must immediately demand a backseat at the UN Security Council.
Make that a seat at the UN Security Council.
Better make it an extra large seat. Because we'll have several healthy children sitting there. No space for them here in India. But each one will carry Rs 1400 in cash.

The reality of the ridiculous is very real, and palpable.
The ridiculous can very often bear out the fears that invite ridicule, and if those fears were to come true, as with an overtaking population, then the ridiculous will no longer be ridiculous!
We all know what can happen, don't we?
Ah, of course any news has to be balanced by quoting the hindooos as the cause and that the latter was only a reaction !
"cause" and "reaction"?? two bozos say idiot things that we should mock and scorn, and dcubed you get yourself a reader who says this is about cause and reaction and some "balance"! there's nothing hindu or muslim about these two, nor about your reader either.
...Cause & reaction...
not to mention the small delay of 12+ years that's one lonnng "balance" loop there.
However,
... there's nothing Hindu or muslim about these two ...
I believe there is nothing particularly Hindu/Muslim about good things either, they are intrinsically good.
I keep running into statements or implications of this sort
- all that is good is X-ism.
- all that is bad is not X-ism.
from believers in X. Substitute any belief system for X.
regards,
Jai

I have 3 Little quilts books, including that one. First I got Living with Little Quilts (I think at Half Price Books). I loved it so much that I looked for other books by Alice and Mary Ellen. I found Patriotic Little Quilts and Little Quilts throughout the House somewhere. I love looking through them and have used some of their ideas in my house. Love the idea of using a button for the door knob!
Love the little houses! They make the cutest quilts! :0)
These are just w-a-y too cute Carolyn
Carolyn, I love house quilts. I don't know what it is about them, but I just love them. Yours are adorable. I always use buttons for doorknobs on mine, too.
I love the doors and windows!! Well done - I feel a bit of inspiration coming on...!!
I think I have that book. I am going to have to dig it out. Your project is adorable!
These are just the most gorgeous cottages. I have actually ordered some lovely red checks and beige checks to make a small house quilt! I love your blocks! Ann ~ Australia.
Your houses are so cute! I just love the little windows.
Love Love your wee houses.
Adorable little cottages! I loved peeking in each window. :) That's a very pretty pie in your last post too!
Don't you just wonder who lives in those little
houses, I do. Maybe that's why we love them so.
Love the color's and the houses and the window's
to peek into. Mighty good looking pie that was,
and I'm sure it's gone by now. Donna says.
It looks like you had fun making these cute little cottages. This has always been one of my favorite books in my quilting library...thanks for sharing...and have a great day!

I love Running in Lavender's weekly linky My Captured Moment. It makes me look through all of our photos, and there are many, and it reminds me of so many moments we have had together as a family. It reminds me, not that I forget but time just runs away with us, how amazing my little family are and just how lucky I am. We have tough times as all people do with children as they test you, my gosh they bring me to tears some days but I still look at them and love them like I have never loved before.
My Captured Moment this week was from a day in the garden last summer where we had all the garden toys out and put a tent up that my parent in laws have us. The boys had hours of fun in it and this photo was taken just after we had all shared a snack in the tent.
This photo is everything to me - my boys, my husband, my life - and as this photo sits on the window sill in our living room every time I see it, the happiness in it bursts out the photo.
Fabulous. Says it all; such a beautiful, happy photograph. Particularly love how the wee one is snuggling into your face x #mycapturedmoment
Ah thats lovely and you all look like you are having so much fun and you are right the happiness does burst out of the photo x
I love this linky too. It makes me go through all my old photos and remember so many happy memories again! Love this photo you've chosen. Jess x #mycapturedmoment
Aw this is a heart-warming photo. And I love the idea of putting a tent up in the garden!

#MyCapturedMoment
Oh this is just the sweetest photo. :) Utterly heartwarming.

Offenses Against the State and Public Justice
Perjury
Notes of Decisions
Where the defendant testified that he did not remember a fact about which he had previously made statements, the issue of whether the defendant knew and remembered such fact at the time of the testimony claimed to be perjured must, of necessity, be established by circumstantial evidence. State v. Shoemaker, 277 Or 55, 559 P2d 498 (1977)
Where defendant's allegedly false statement was made during hearing on motion to suppress and no evidence of contents of that motion or issues at the hearing were introduced, perjury conviction was reversed because there was insufficient evidence of materiality of statement. State v. Greenlaw, 49 Or App 15, 618 P2d 1291 (1980), as modified by 50 Or App 97, 622 P2d 325 (1980)
Where defendant, in proceeding to terminate her parental rights, made false statements in regard to her use of drugs, these statements were not material where usage of drugs was not alleged in petition as grounds for termination and conviction for perjury was improper. State v. Darnell, 49 Or App 461, 619 P2d 1321 (1980)
Where there was no specific statutory authority for administration of oath by Release Assistance Officer, defendant could not be convicted of perjury for false statements under oath administered by that official. State v. Flamer, 54 Or App 17, 633 P2d 860 (1981)
There was sufficient evidence that defendant's verifications on custody release questionnaire that information there was "true and complete" were in fact false, where defendant knew that he did not disclose complete criminal record. State v. Proctor, 92 Or App 557, 759 P2d 316 (1988)
Because trial court administrator has express statutory authority to administer oaths and appoint deputies, and because court administrator acted within that authority in appointing release officer as deputy, defendant could be convicted of perjury for giving false information on oath administered by release officer so appointed. State v. Proctor, 92 Or App 557, 759 P2d 316 (1988)
Defendant was wrongly convicted of perjury where state presented no evidence even remotely suggesting that defendant did not sincerely believe his statement. State v. Hayes, 116 Or App 287, 843 P2d 944 (1992)
To prove perjury, state must show that defendant knew that statement was false, not that defendant was uncertain about truthfulness of statement. State v. Park, 120 Or App 294, 852 P2d 872 (1993), Sup Ct review denied
Where defendant was not administered formal oath, but signed construction lien notice falsely attesting to knowledge and belief of facts asserted, defendant was guilty of perjury. State v. Carr, 125 Or App 270, 863 P2d 1316 (1993), aff'd 319 Or 408, 877 P2d 1192 (1994)
Materially false statement is not perjury unless sworn to or affirmed before person authorized to take oaths or affirmations. Josephine County v. 1983 Chevrolet PU, 164 Or App 501, 992 P2d 947 (1999)

Patients
The ’placet’ team of physicians has performed more than 500 operations on more than 40 patients since 2001. These victims of terror came from Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, Kenya, Tajikistanand Mauritania. The operations successfully repaired maimed limbs and improved disfigurations caused by burns to the body and face.
In addition to providing bodily aid in the form of operations, we also assist our patients in dealing with the psychological trauma they have suffered.
We hire interpreters to facilitate communication between doctors and patients, as the patients are only able to speak in their native languages, as well as other assistants and caretakers.
The patients, many of whom are still children, are often accompanied to Berlin by a family member. They stay at the hospital and at a rented apartment that is made available to ‘placet’. They receive clothing, food and drink, and everything else to cover their needs.
The patients then return to their home countries after their treatment is over.

Our West Scotland’s Young Persons’ Forum is supporting Skills Scotland Scottish Apprenticeship Week by highlighting how life changing an apprenticeship can be for young people in and the wider benefits they provide for the industry.
Running from Monday 5 to Friday 9 March, Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2018 aims to celebrate apprenticeships and the positive impact they have on individuals, businesses and economy.
The Young Persons’ Forum – the first of its kind within our network of 24 regional businesses in the UK - ensures that the business is continuously engaging with its young employees.
The Forum underpins our commitment to recruiting, developing and retaining young people in our workforce and it is proud to have secured the Investors in Young People (IIYP) silver accreditation.
Caroline Proctor, Senior Land Manager at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland and Chair of the Young Persons’ Forum explains: “Our Young Persons’ Forum is passionate about presenting Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, and the wider housebuilding industry, as an attractive career opportunity for young people in our local community.
“We’ve got an energetic group of young people who are enjoying successful career paths thanks to the commitment shown to them by Taylor Wimpey, and they’re keen to share the word.
“Last year they supported Taylor Wimpey at seven events to promote the housebuilding industry and they engaged with over 600 young people at various school, career and STEM events – aiming to inspire the next generation to following in their footsteps.
“As part of Scottish Apprenticeship Week we’ve shared some of their profiles to showcase their journey so far with us, and we hope that it will encourage more young people to consider our industry.”
We are fully committed to supporting our young apprentices who enjoy the combination of working and earning whilst they are learning.
Willie Burns, Managing Director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland comments: “Our young people are a real asset to our business. By providing support, mentoring and funding to their apprenticeships, training and learning across many of our departments, we have invested in their future success and that of our business. It is also an important investment in the future health of our wider industry and the economy as a whole.
“As a business we are also keen to retain the skills that our young people have acquired, so it’s important that we support them through each of their transition stages as they develop their career, continue to offer them opportunities to continuously improve. Supporting Scottish Apprenticeship Week is an opportunity for us to showcase their first steps on the career ladder and share their ambitions for the next stage of their journey with Taylor Wimpey.
“We hope that our continued investment in young people will go some way to promote our industry as an interesting and dynamic place to work, which will in turn nurture the future of the housebuilding industry.”
Further information about Scottish Apprenticeship Week is available by visiting the website a t. Or join the conversation #ScotAppWeek18.
Details about apprenticeship and other career opportunities within Taylor Wimpey are available at.
“I started working at Taylor Wimpey in October 2016 as temporary administrator in the sales department with no previous knowledge of the industry. In January 2017, I was offered a full-time role as a management trainee. With Taylor Wimpey’s support and help from my colleagues, this role has allowed me to further my career and education.
“I started college in August 2017 to study HNC Business and will be going in to my second year this summer, hopefully progressing on to university in the future. I completed school with no plan of what I wanted my career path to be and was lucky enough to be employed by such a supportive company.
“I enjoy my role in the sales department as I get to spend time out on-site as well as in the office, this allows me to see different sides of the industry.”
“I’m a final year graduate trainee, having started at Taylor Wimpey in September 2016, I have rotated around all core departments within my first year. I am geographically based within the Northern Division, and I’ve spent time in three different offices with an external rotation in the Taylor Wimpey España business.
“The exposure to different business units and different departments has allowed me to develop a real insight into the Taylor Wimpey process and culture, whilst gaining a breadth of knowledge and seeing the industry-wide, regional and office specific challenges we face. My experience to-date has led me to pursue a career within Project Management.”
“I am a Glasgow-based apprentice site manager and I have brought the skills I’ve learned from my background in joinery to aid my role in becoming a successful assistant site manager. I’ve been interested in construction from an early age and I secured a joinery apprenticeship at just 16 to gain some essential construction knowledge.
Taylor Wimpey is furthering my education in construction by sponsoring me through a BSc Construction Management degree at Glasgow Caledonian University, and I’m currently based at Annsfield Farm in Hamilton. I joined Taylor Wimpey to help further my construction knowledge to gain all the necessary skills to climb the construction career ladder."
“I attended St Andrews and St Brides High School in East Kilbride, and I joined Taylor Wimpey in June 2017 as a trainee engineer. Whilst working in this position, I am also completing a BSc (Hons) in Environmental and Civil Engineering at Glasgow Caledonian University.
‘I joined Taylor Wimpey to further my career path after achieving my HNC and Modern Apprenticeship. Taylor Wimpey has allowed me to continue my career alongside my education - this is definitely the best way to gain the best of both worlds. I have managed to progress financially and independently and would implore anyone to look at apprenticeships.”
“I left school at 17, and I started working with Taylor Wimpey 4 years ago as an apprentice joiner. I've gained lots of experience and knowledge in a short time. It’s a really diverse trade. I can be working on anything from installing timber-kit houses, to working on the roofs, as well as getting involved in the high standard of finishing with our new homes that everyone can see.
“In my first and second year, my college rotation was two weeks on-site, followed by two weeks at college. It meant that I could learn the theory side of my trade and then have the chance to put my learning into practice on-site.
“My third year at college has offered an optional course to secure an additional qualification in joinery that will further improve my skill set and knowledge, and enhance my practical skills.
“I can't recommend an apprenticeship enough. My friends are at uni right now and at the end of their course they have no guarantee of a job. Whereas I do and I have been learning and earning for the duration of my apprenticeship.”
“I have worked for Taylor Wimpey since the summer of 2016, working on various developments across the West of Scotland. I am currently based at Dargavel Village, Taylor Wimpey’s new site in Bishopton.
“As part of my apprenticeship, I also attend Glasgow City College one day a week studying towards my HND in construction management. This offers an excellent balance between work and education.
“My time within the company has been full of opportunities which allows me to continue to further my knowledge. I look forward to progressing with Taylor Wimpey and seeing what the future holds.” |

Senior years will keep us from doing things we once thought were easy. As we age, living by ourselves may become something of the struggle. However, homecare and home health care services can offer the seniors or sick using the aid and activity they require every day, letting them continue living a completely independent existence.
With more than a million people using home health care, it’s shown to be a effective option to lengthy-term assisted living facilities. An ordinary homecare service includes a nurse or aid going to the patient’s home every single day to assist help with whatever needs assisting. This could change from simply cooking meals and housecleaning to supplying the individual with physical rehabilitation and medicine. No facet of exactly what a patient needs is overlooked, and each patient is treated differently based on their needs. While one patient may need help keeping upkeep of their home and minor physical rehabilitation, another may need assist in being bathed and given. Nurses are educated to be mindful to the potential needs their patient might have.
The requirement for home health care is not always clearly determined. It may be beneficial to meet with a physician before deciding regardless of whether you or somebody should seek the assistance of home health care services. Talking to having a physician also may help you financially. In case your physician confirms the requirement for home services and orders it, financial burden could be lifted off shoulders through Medicare. Investigate the agency you utilize to make certain they are able to do whatever must be done to help you or a family member. See if the nurses are licensed and trained. These studies might help prevent any problems on the way.
An important factor to keep in mind is the fact that homecare services and home health care services will vary. While homecare may supply the seniors with daily check-ups and domestic services, home health care includes helping someone get over an condition, like a stroke or heart attack. Based on what’s needed, you might like to make certain that individuals you would be hiring are licensed therapists or nurses.
Home health care is a terrific way to provide yourself or a family member using the aid and treatment that’s required every day. It enables patients to reside healthy lives without encroaching on their own independence. Should you or somebody isn’t all set to go to some lengthy-term nursing facility, home health care is a practicable alternative that could just be worth searching into. |
Yesterday, they'd been kept inside for three days. Hardly eating, lazing around, just generally feeling awful. Over the weekend, Dulce told me for the first time in her life, "I didn't have fun today, Mommy." Ouch. But what can you do?
Enter my brother. Poor guy is visiting us for the first time since we've moved down here. And we can't take him anywhere or do anything with him. And out of nowhere, it's suddenly freezing in Florida.
But who lets a stomach bug and bad weather get them down? Not these kids. We decided to fly kites.
But there was no wind.
This was unacceptable, of course. But we were pawns of the weather. Can't you fix it, Tommy?
No, not really.
At least we got out of the house.

Hello all, Sue here with a post featuring the new Flickering Butterfly Collage die. There are so many possibilities with this die!
I started off by colouring a piece of glossy card stock with alcohol inks in purples and blues. I die cut a square using the Pinpoint Square Layers, placed the butterfly die in the centre and sent it through my Big Shot. Then I flicked some gold paint on the butterfly panel.
The alcohol ink piece was adhered behind the butterfly for all the pretty colours to peek through and I adhered this to the card base.
I die cut the Blooming Dotted Border from purple card stock, stamped the sentiment and added a strip of glitter tape.
I added a few black pearls to finish off the card.
Today I'm giving away the Flickering Butterfly Collage die.
Please leave a comment for a chance to win and come back every day during the Blog Blitz to see more new projects and products!
Happy crafting!
The alcohol ink background is gorgeous, goes so well with the stunning butterfly die.

Before 1947, Diamonds weren’t forever; they weren’t even a while.
Diamonds were seen as a gift that only the extremely wealthy would get for their significant other in the early 20th century. Most women would have preferred a new car, washing machine, or mattress. Women wanted something practical, rather than some gaudy ring on their finger that just appeared as a waste of hundreds or thousands of dollars. This was the case, until a Ms. Gerety came up with the slogan that Advertising Age named the slogan of the century in 1999.
Francis Gerety was hired by a Philadelphia advertising agency by the name of N.W. Ayers in 1943, and her only client during her time there was De Beers Diamond Jewelry. When Ms. Gerety submitted the famous slogan “A Diamond is Forever” in front of her colleagues, they were as displeased as she was. Ms. Gerety felt that the line wasn’t that good, and her colleagues thought that the word “forever” didn’t even make grammatical sense. Thankfully, she gave it to De Beers and it has been in every one of their ads since 1947.
This ad slogan essentially transformed giving a diamond ring to your significant other from something that was seen as unneeded into a social norm. Diamond sales had been slumping for decades, especially going into the Great Depression. Gerety and N.W. Ayers were trying to sell the public a product that they didn’t want or need. The powerfulness of the slogan is based on its simplicity and emotional appeal. It was a way to symbolize to your significant other that your love was timeless, and what better way to capture all of that emotional sentiment than with a diamond ring? The repeated advertisement and gaining popularity of the slogan created a psychological phenomena in Americans’ heads that diamonds were valuable. This played right into De Beers’ wallets.
De Beers created a diamond monopoly in the late 19th century and early 20th century, carefully controlling the supply of diamonds into the market. They were able to figure out a way to sell a stone that had no intrinsic value unlike precious metals such as gold and silver. In addition to appealing to the ethics and emotions of an eternal love and marriage through their famous slogan, they also discouraged consumers from ever re-selling their rings. This ability to discourage reselling prevented a disrupt in the market because if many consumers resold their rings, the market would realize that diamonds really had very little intrinsic value.
While De Beers couldn’t remain a monopoly in the American as well as global market, they ensured that they would remain in the $72 billion dollar a year market just as long as the product would; forever.

You raise two separate issues. One is whether it is possible to “create” a market where none existed before. The answer you give is “YES”. (Note that gold also has little intrinsic value beyond its decorative function, whereas silver has an array of commercial uses. Non-gem-quality diamonds have many industrial uses. Diamond dust isn’t particularly expensive.)
The second issue is that of a diamond monopoly. Keeping prices high means that you need to keep diamonds in inventory, either in your vaults or in the ground by not mining at a fast pace. Now in the 1800s de Beers owned the major mines in southern Africa that were the only incremental source of gem-quality stones. Think though of the incentive that provided to geologists, particularly once diamonds were forever and small stones could be sold. (My sense – I may be totally wrong – is that smaller diamonds weren’t particularly valuable, in contrast to trophy stones, the Hope Diamond and so on.) So how what happened next? Were geologists unsuccessful? Or did de Beers face – and solve? – the challenge of new entrants.
These two issues are in fact closely intertwined. Let me save why that is the case for later, or challenge others in the comments to puzzle it out.
Looks as if De Beers did face some market struggles, particularly in the 1990s. In 1994, the US DoJ charged both De Beers and GE with a conspiracy to fix diamond prices. This issue was ultimately resolved in 2004 when De Beers paid a $10,000,000 fine and plead guilty to the accusations (Berkeley Presentation).
Besides the price fixing allegations, De Beers faced other issues in the 1990s. According to the presentation cited below, the collapse of the Soviet Union, new Canadian diamond mines, and the popularity of synthetic diamonds all contributed to De Beers’ 20% loss of market share (from 85% to 65%) during the 1990s (Berkeley Presentation).
As far as a solution to these problems goes, De Beers decided to refocus on reinvigorating their past successful marketing. They also partnered with Louis Vuitton to move into retail (Berkeley Presentation). This must have done some good, as income rose from $676,000,000 in 2003 to $923,000,000 in 2014 (Berkeley Presentation; Diamonds.net).
Sources:
How has De Beers reacted to the shift in consumer demographics in recent years in the diamond industry? Popular culture in the 21st century has put diamonds into national attention, whether it be athletes wearing diamonds during interviews or Hip/Hop artists writing songs about them. Thus, diamonds have become popular in populations that they usually were not. Did this change De Beers strategy at all, or did it open the market to new firms, decreasing their market share even more?
You mentioned that de Beers was able to successfully discourage consumers from reselling their stones, and that this helped them in the long run. Yet, how was this possible? On a practical level I reason that de Beers can spread word all they wish, but without credible commitments or control over resellers I don’t see how de Beers could successfully mitigate turnover of their diamonds.
In this situation I think of a dilemma between rent-seekers and producers. At a certain equilibrium both rent-seekers and producers can maintain profits without an incentive for either parties to switch roles. However in this game, when there are a lot of producers (or in this case, not many rent-seekers), players have a high incentive to become rent-seekers to reap the benefits of this untapped revenue stream. In this example the rent-seekers would be resellers of de Beers diamonds.
I would like to know how the company was able to avoid this situation of the producer/rent-seeker dilemma.
Interesting ideas. I would argue that used diamond market is really not that liquid or profitable. An article from The Atlantic tells an interesting story about a wealthy woman tried to sell her diamond ring in 1978 after reading about the “diamond boom” in magazines and wanted to make some profits. It turned out that none of the stores were willing to buy it back from her at a fair price, some even offered to swap it for another jewel. Since the markup on a diamond is extremely high (more than 200%), retailers would only pay for the wholesale prices for the diamond; however, this would not only be “deemed insulting” to the customers, but also be undercutting the notion of high intrinsic values of diamond in the market.
Retail purchasers may not get back the full price on a ring, given the markup, but how about wholesale markets? If diamonds are not forever, then they start to look like Bitcoin, no particular foundation to their value if prices can zoom and plummet on the basis of fads (but perhaps of use if you’re a criminal needing to launder money).
A similar example: should a new car purchaser look at the used prices for their car?
Finally, if you want to sell Grandma’s diamond ring, is going to a jewelry store the best route? I suspect not.
Is this a fundamental issue of the diamond market? Diamonds do not depreciate the same way cars, factories, or other traditional assets do. The reason diamonds are resold for so much less than their original purchase prices appears not to be practicality, but born from the market itself.
I’m not an expert on Bitcoin, but the two fields (diamonds and Bitcoins) seem to me to be wholly different. Demand for diamonds are influenced mostly by the effectiveness of advertising strategies, whereas the demand for Bitcoins stems primarily from their usefulness as a tool to purchase items online – especially, as you point out, items of a nature such that the purchaser (or seller) wishes to remain as anonymous as possible throughout the transaction. Of course, Bitcoin is used in more legitimate transactions as well, as a substitute for Paypal. And, being a product fabricated online, the supply of Bitcoin can expand or shrink far more easily than diamonds can.
You mentioned that De Beers created a diamond monopoly in the late 19th century and early 20th century by controlling the supply of diamonds that enter into the market. However, I am curious how or if they have been able to maintain this control of supply in recent years. Since the boom in demand for diamonds at the launch of their advertising campaign, it appears that other major competitors such as Alrosa and BHP Billiton have entered into the market. I am curious as to how this recent lack of control of the supply of diamonds has affected the market price.
So do we have an index of gem-quality diamond prices? I think one of the “recent reads” on the blog sidebar has such a graph, showing prices down a lot.
Now if population is growing and incomes are growing, then as long as consumers believe “diamonds are forever” there is incremental demand that can’t be met by reselling old stones, which may be in the form of inheriting grandma’s jewelry [and perhaps resetting diamonds to match today’s fashions].
So if de Beers can keep the supply of new gemstones limited, then life is good. Let expectations change, perhaps as a result of new entry by producers who don’t join with de Beers, then the market can potentially collapse. |

Stained Glass Table Lamp - Pagoda Series
BASE
The wooden base features Asian accents in the mood of a Pagoda. The feet and the neck are mahogany. The shade arms and the curved supports are quartersawn beech. The finish is hand mixed and hand rubbed shellac over a honey colored stain. The surface is silky but not glossy. Mortise and tenon joinery is used throughout - sliding dovetails are used where the curved supports connect to the neck.
SHADE
The stained glass panels are made from Kokomo Opalescent glass including Iridescent glass. The beautiful and irregular glass grain patterning is different in every sheet of glass. The glass is bordered with solid copper edging and includes subtle curves. The copper border and the copper lines of the glass design are antiqued and buffed.
The glass design is adapted from a wall sconce in the Robert Blacker House in Pasadena - designed by architects Greene and Greene.
HARDWARE
The hardware is top quality solid cast brass with a copper extension to lift the bulb hub to the correct height. The hardware is antiqued and buffed to be consistent with the antiqued copper elements of the glass panels. The finial is yellowish opal colored polished stone.
ELECTRICAL
The lamp comes equipped with four 40 watt incandescent lamps and a six foot gold colored cord covered with woven rayon in the style of antique lamps. Each of the four bulbs is controlled with its own pullchain, so the lamp can be used for reading with all four bulbs lighted, for decorative effect with three (or two) bulbs lighted, and for a night light with a single bulb lighted.
The bulbs can be replaced with energy-efficient CFL bulbs like the ones shown in the detail photo.
DO NOT USE more than 4 x 40 watts (160 watts total) to avoid damage to the glass panels.

Well-known nootropics for beginners – This submit covers some of the preferred nootropics that are the place to begin for some when dabbling on this planet of cognitive improvement.
Remember to tell me the amount of milligrams of caffeine and L-Theanine are within the 1-2 Go Method and why this info isn't detailed over the bottle, even my vitamins have this.
A key component of Noehr’s chemical “stack” is actually a more powerful racetam termed Phenylpiracetam. He adds a handful of other compounds regarded as gentle cognitive enhancers. A person health supplement, L-theanine, a all-natural constituent in environmentally friendly tea, is claimed to neutralise the jittery aspect-results of caffeine. Another supplement, choline, is said to be crucial for suffering from the total outcomes of racetams. Each nootropic is unique and there is usually a great deal of variation in effect from Individual to individual, suggests Lawler.
The rationale that pregnenolone can have these kinds of diverse takes advantage of is because it is the primary sterone derived from cholesterol. In truth it's the grandmother of every one of the steroids and neuro-steroids, it types their fundamental materials (it is a precursor). Without plentiful pregnenolone availability there is probably going to generally be an "imbalance" of other steroids. As an example estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and DHEA are all "sourced" from pregnenolone. Dosage: 10 - a hundred mg daily.
It took many years, but in May well 2014, the offer was virtually carried out: A single previous vote stood involving the small town and additional info its extensive-awaited purpose.
Enter nootropics, supplements crafted to lessen brain fog and stress. And it’s not simply the Silicon Valley set throwing them back anymore—you’re likely to see them everywhere you go in 2018. Now, they’re appearing not just in capsules, but vials, coffee, and in some cases snack bars.
I also felt a bit far more structured, in addition to a curious sense of psychological stability. These improvements may be attributed to parenthood, and my perseverance to accomplish the deed and have house as soon as possible.
Lots of people start off with Piracetam and stay with it, never ever veering absent. Other people may possibly elect to incorporate Alpha-GPC or Citicoline to create a synergistic impact. Other folks elect to experiment with various smart drugs so that you can great-tune a stack which operates with their individual human body chemistry.

Phenylpiracetam, as an example, is actually a prescription drug in Russia. It isn’t illegal to acquire during the US, but The person-created chemical exists in a very no guy’s land where by it really why not find out more is neither permitted nor outlawed for human usage, notes Lawler.
Apologies for not responding faster. We use maltodextrin for our filler, and vegetable sterate to be a flow agent equally of that are considered gluten free of charge.
