In tracing the history of the Royal Coat of Arms in the United Kingdom, this is passed down through the royal family from Monarch to Monarch. It is only the reigning sovereign, currently Queen Elizabeth II, is the only individual who is permitted to use the actual Royal Coat of Arms, while other Royal Family members are allowed to use variations of the original. Since the Queen is Head of Justice, the courtrooms also display it with the judges acting as representatives of the Crown. Although coins used in Britain also bear a form of the Royal Coat of Arms, it is only the one pound coin which bears the entire Royal Coat of Arms. The national symbol of the United Kingdom is also permitted to carry the Royal Coat of Arms. It is, therefore, displayed on several official government documents such as passports, but displayed without the ‘helm’. The ‘Royal Standard’, a banner bearing the Royal Coat of Arms, flies over the royal palaces at the time when the Queen is in residence. The Evolution of the Royal Coat of Arms The Royal Coat of Arms bears an extensive history which is nine centuries long. It was King Richard I popularly known as ‘Richard the Lionheart’, who decided to use a shield with three Lions. They represented ‘England, Aquitaine and Normandy’ and were chosen to mark the King’s association with each area, his great, great grandfather being the Duke of Normandy and his mother being Eleanor of Aquitaine. This shield grew into a symbol of the monarch as it was used to identify the King in the battlefield. In 1340, King Edward III included the French Royal Coat of Arms to that of Britain’s, to mark his claim to the French throne. However, this addition was abandoned in 1801. When King Henry VIII ascended to the throne in 1534 and declared himself the ‘Supreme Head of the Church of England’, to mark the Church’s association with the British Sovereign, the Royal Coat of Arms appeared in the churches around Britain. It was, however, in 1603 that the Royal Coat of Arms came to acquire its present-day representation. When King James VI of Scotland became the King of England, the Royal Coats of Arms of England, Scotland and Ireland became unified. The first significant change to the Royal Coat of Arms occurred in 1688, during the reign of ‘William and Mary’, where King William’s Arms was added to the Royal Arms. Following the 1707 Union, the Scottish Arms was placed beside the English Arms, along with the French fleurs-de-lis and the Irish harp. King George, I made further alterations in 1714, adding to it the symbols of Hanover: three lions; two gold and one blue, and a white horse. The 1801 Act of Union with Ireland resulted in more changes. The French arms were dropped, but the English, Scottish and Irish Coats of Arms remained. A crown was placed upon the Hanoverian horse in 1816. The final alteration to the Royal Coat of Arms took place in 1837, during the reign of Queen Victoria. She made changes to the initials of the monarch and abandoned the Hanoverian Arms which she could not acquire as a female Head of State.

Ok I spent many years working in and running a flower shop. During Valentine’s season, there’s nothing like the slew of men that come in like little puppy dogs, wide eyed, and confused about what Valentine’s Day flowers to buy their better half. It’s very sweet, and funny, and makes me laugh! However, I’ve noticed that they seem to one, be confused about what to buy or two, seem really set on something very traditional! At the end of the day, gosh it really doesn’t matter. How sweet that they want to buy flowers and adorable that they are so conscientious that it be just right. The times I’ve received flowers, I didn’t really care what they looked like, though I can’t say I haven’t rearranged some:) I just loved the thought that even though I was a florist, they went to the effort (florists love flowers too, maybe more so!!). At any rate, I really feel people get overwhelmed and need more guidance! Here are some tips for guys or gals who are buying flowers this Valentine’s Day: 1. Trust me. Forgo the red roses. There’s so much demand for red roses this time of year and most of them are very bad quality. The hybrid tea roses with long stems that you have set in your mind as the only possible flower you can buy for Valentine’s day are usually shipped from South America, won’t ever open up because they’ve been stored in a cooler too long (and probably dipped in a pesticide), and will just look really sad, really quickly. Plus, the prices are super high this time of year because of the demand! Instead, if you are set on roses, ask for something as local as possible. These Yves Piaget are gorgeous! I offered them from my local Portland grower, Peterkort Roses, when I had a flower shop. They are fragrant, and oh so romantic! Before roses were hybridized to last as long as possible and lost all their fragrance, this is what roses looked like! And as many girls out there are peony lovers (too expensive this time of year, unless you live in Australia), this is a great substitute! 2. Along the same lines, think outside the box! I don’t want to sound impolite (ha!), but I will tell you that when I was a florist 99% of the girls that came in to plan their wedding said they wanted Stargazer Lilies because that was “their flower.” I think it was a result of the times, and granted florists are more original now, it’s all so trendy to be a florist and the product is so much better than it used to be. So yes, times have changed. However, if you are still stuck on Stargazer lilies, I beg you to move on! Ask your florist what’s in season locally. If you still insist on lilies: consider Easter lilies or Casablancas in a special ceramic vase, kept on a very tall stem, pollen in place please:) What normally goes wrong with lilies, in my opinion is that they are kept short, when the flower is so large! Find a vase that works with the scale of the flower. 3.Winter flower options! Ok so here are some fantastic winter flower options perhaps you haven’t thought of, that will most likely be in season for you for Valentine’s Day. More winter flower ideas here. Anemones Tulips Hyacinths Mimosa Ranunculus Violets Narcissus Camellia Primrose Jasmine Iceland Poppies Muscari Branches of fruit blossoms 4. Bring your own vase. A lot of the vases offered by florists, even some really great ones, are kind of lame, because they have to keep the container cost down to offer arrangements at an affordable price. Consider bringing a special vase from home, purchasing from your favorite potter, or picking up a vintage one at a flea market or thrift shop. It makes the arrangement unique and super special, particularly if there is a story behind it. 5. Consider a plant! Primroses, violets, daffodil bulbs, jasmine, packets of sweet peas (it’s nearly time to plant them)! How about giving a plant that you can put in your garden or enjoy inside the house for weeks on end. I will probably think of a few more as I get more flashbacks, ha! But I hope some people find this helpful! Oh and please, please read this post on how to make your Valentine’s flowers last as long as possible! Also, remember, everyone loves flowers! It’s not creepy to give them to your best friend, your grandma, or your neighbor! Valentine’s Day is not just for people in relationships- more on that here. Happy Flower Shopping! Photos: 1.

One of the long-running inside jokes of furry fandom is that of drawing a female furry character, naked with a crowbar, which is 1920's slang for a penis. [1] Contents 1 History 2 The Titanium Crowbar Awards 3 References 4 External links History[edit] The origins of the joke are said to be a convention sometime in the 1980s. As the story goes, someone asked Steve Gallacci to draw a picture of Erma Felna naked. He declined, but Jim Groat who was nearby and overheard the conversation, asked again in a whiny fanboy voice to draw her naked, and with a crowbar.[2] Since then, it has become something of a cliché/running joke that any artist in the furry fandom will at some point produce a picture of a female naked with a crowbar, or that any sufficiently well-known female character will be drawn naked with a crowbar (one recent LiveJournal discussion mentioned Florence Ambrose).[citation needed] Some artists have done one or more pictures specifically to pay homage to the joke. It has been parodied in a few stories, including Sabrina Online: The Story, and was referenced in the NES game Nightshade, which was written by Paul Kidd. [3] The Titanium Crowbar Awards[edit] On July 25, 2000, artist Brian O'Connell suggested in alt.fan.furry the creation of the Titanium Crowbar Awards for best furry erotica in the fandom.[4] This came out of a discussion involving "crowbar" jokes, posted earlier on the group, involving the device, Gallaci's character, and sex. Even though he wrote a ballot post on August of that same year on AFF, with category nominations, nothing came out of it, and the idea was shelved.[5] References[edit] ↑ Cassell's Dictionary of Slang ↑ Post by Ironbadger to Planetfurry AfterDark forums ↑ Post by Ironbadger to Planetfurry AfterDark forums ↑ Submitted Ponderings on Furry Erotica Awards... post on alt.fan.furry.

The Norwegian army is making an attempt to rescue a US CV-22 that is been caught in a nature protect since August. The US Air Drive particular operations plane suffered a clutch malfunction that affects the V-22 fleet. The basis explanation for the issue “has eluded us,” the pinnacle of Air Drive Particular Operations Command mentioned. Loading One thing is loading. Norwegian troopers are working to get well a US Air Drive CV-22 Osprey, the particular operations variant of the tilt-rotor plane, that has been caught in a distant Arctic nature protect for greater than a month, Norway’s army mentioned on Tuesday. The army mentioned in a assertion that engineers are constructing an “improvised” street to allow them to convey the Osprey nearer to shore, the place it may be retrieved by a crane boat. The plane has been sitting within the Stongodden nature protect on the island of Senja in northern Norway since August 12, when it made a “managed emergency touchdown” after a clutch malfunction, one in every of a collection of such failures that led US Air Drive Particular Operations Command to floor its Ospreys from August 16 to September 2. A CV-22 within the Stongodden nature protect in Senja, Norway. Tiril Haslestad/Norweigan Armed Forces “We had one in every of these laborious clutch engagement occasions. The aircrew put it down, and so we’re within the midst of form of a restoration course of to get the airplane to a spot the place we will swap out the engines and gearboxes and all of the issues that must be changed,” Lt. Gen. Jim Slife, head of Air Drive Particular Operations Command, mentioned at an Air & House Forces Affiliation occasion on September 7. “This stuff by no means appear to occur at airfields. They all the time appear to occur in Norwegian nature preserves above the Arctic Circle on the onset of winter,” Slife added. The restoration operation started on Monday on the port of Sørreisa, with supplies and gear — together with a crane, bobcat, excavator, and wood mats — being loaded on a barge for a five-hour journey to the character protect. Norwegian military engineers put together gear for the CV-22 restoration operation. Tiril Haslestad/Norweigan Armed Forces Norway’s army mentioned that, relying on climate and wind situations, it hopes to maneuver the Osprey from the place it landed and carry it onto the crane boat — which is now ready off the coast of the character protect — early subsequent week. A Norwegian army official confirmed to Insider final week that the Osprey made the emergency touchdown and the army was planning for its restoration. Photographs offered to Insider on the time confirmed the situation of the CV-22 and Norwegian troopers getting ready for its restoration. Slife mentioned on September 7 that onerous clutch engagements are brought on by “a slipping sprag clutch” within the enter wheels on the Osprey’s engines. Ospreys are designed to permit both engine to drive each propellers, and the slipping of the clutch triggers one engine to take over for the opposite. A Norwegian Bell 412 helicopter on the CV-22 touchdown website. Tiril Haslestad/Norweigan Armed Forces “It simply slips momentarily,” Slife added. “When it engages once more, it brings that load again to the unique motor, and people massive transient torque spikes exceed the constraints of the engines and the gearboxes.” The Osprey fleet has had 15 such incidents over the previous 12 years or so — 11 affecting US Marine Corps Ospreys and 4, together with two in latest months, on Air Drive Particular Operations Command plane, Slife mentioned. “Every one in every of them ends in variety a Christmas tree of warning lights within the cockpit and a few fairly squirrelly flight-control enter,” Slife mentioned, including he was “actually, actually happy with our crews and the best way they have been capable of safely land.” A CV-22 in Norway’s Stongodden nature protect. Tiril Haslestad/Norweigan Armed Forces The issue is understood to be mechanical, however its root trigger “has eluded us,” Slife mentioned, including that his command’s stand-down was meant to convey consideration to the difficulty. The command has carried out working restrictions to handle the issue, together with advising crews to make use of horizontal takeoffs reasonably than vertical takeoffs when attainable. Norway’s army mentioned the restoration venture concerned consultations with native environmental officers and with the US Air Drive and would want to take into consideration the environmental influence so as to succeed. Slife famous that troops concerned may profit from the expertise. “It is offered a very nice tactical drawback for that unit, to determine what to do with that airplane out in the course of nature protect with protected ferns and salamanders and issues like that.”

This house was built in 1912 and is significant as an intact example of Craftsman style architecture. It shows a Swiss Chalet style influence, especially on the main elevation. The original owner/builder are unknown as the building permit is missing. According to the property record card, L.M. Marsh owned the house from approximately 1926 to 1937. City directory research shows a variety of occupants. It appears that the house was primarily used as a rental property. Appearance This one and a half story Craftsman house is sited facing west on the lot. The roof is front gabled with gabled side dormers; decorative brackets support the wide overhang of the main roof and the dormer roof. The house is clad in clapboard siding. The main entrance is located on the south elevation. On the front elevation is a porch that extends outward and runs three-quarters of the length of the elevation. Centered on the front elevation is a bay with a multi-paned door that is flanked by two fixed multi-paned windows that are the same size as the door. On either side of the bay are small rectangular fixed paned windows. The half story extends outward to meet the bay below; decorative brackets above the rectangular fixed paned windows support the half story above. The half story has a series of three double-hung windows with multi-paned upper sashes. Small, square multi-paned windows flank the three windows. Below the series of three windows is a flower box supported by decorative brackets. This house is relatively unaltered and retains much of its original integrity.

The undermentioned subdivisions identify the modern inventions in building pattern which will distinguish the new add-ons to the Angila Ruskin University. Each is considered a alone constituent of the edifice procedure ; nevertheless, they are designed to work symbiotically and heighten the overall bequest of the full compound. Infrastructure We will write a custom essay sample on Modern innovations in construction practice Essay or any similar topic only for you Order now Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers ( CFRP ) Offering a well improved stiffness to burden ratio over steel home bases and long term environmental sustainability, these laminates when coupled with steel-webbed concrete supply a supportive infrastructure for this undertaking. [ 1 ] Attach toing the formed insitu concrete within the foundation of the island edifices, this alone stuff will besides be utilized in elevated paseo design associating the sweep of constructions. Ultimately, the restrictions of CFRP evolve from improperly formed molds every bit good as failed adhesive application. Research has determined, nevertheless, that when supplemented with Fibre Reinforced Polymer rebar, the failure burden of such constructions is dramatically increased, thereby offering an advanced, sustainable attack to the intricate span-ways and foundation of this design. [ 2 ] Duplex Grade Stainless Steel A lightweight and advanced stuff, this steel infrastructure will enable the designers and builders to pull strings structural constituents. By offering decreased weight advantages and subdivision size compression benefits, the chromium steel steel application will dramatically heighten design possibilities. Laser cut and optical maser welded beams continue to germinate to revolutionize the format of commercial building applications. [ 3 ] Enhancing the overall thermic efficiency of a construction every bit good as its sustainable bequest, the lone drawback to such stuffs is the high cost associated with their procurance and use. [ 4 ] Superstructure Vacuum Insulation Panels In malice of the concrete infrastructure, the above land support coupled with steel beam and jointing will be highlighted by a possible for thermic flight. Therefore, this construction will incorporate vacuity insularity panels ( VIP’s ) as a manner of lightweight, sustainable insularity which allows for decreased breadth of environing walls and easiness of application. Benefits of these panels include well reduced heating loss and a long lastingness period. Challenges in application arise from the thermic span consequence which can be minimised through big graduated table development or alternate border designs, thereby enabling an overlapping seam. [ 5 ] Accoya Wood Siding Panels Recognised on a planetary degree as a new dimension in wood turnout and framing, the procedure for making Accoya wood begins with sustainable lumber and ends with a H2O and component resistant timber which is mouldable, customisable, and advanced. Inculcating the wood with Acetic Anhydride to reject wetness and remain lasting, the Accoya merchandise is unambiguously suited for the clime challenges of the Island countries. [ 6 ] Aligned with the committedness to invention and modernness, this merchandise will dramatically heighten the buildings’ facade, while at the same clip, run intoing environmental guidelines. Challenges will originate both from available supply and the cost footing of this merchandise given its popularity and ill fame within the architectural community. Ventilation Mechanical Extract Ventilation ( MEV ) Highlighted by their humidness driven control faculties and quiet watercourse engineering, such proprietary designs as boasted by the Passivent corporation offer a alone blend of low care and high public presentation for multi-unit designs. This airing system meets authorities ordinances, responds to increased wet degrees in wet-sensitive suites, and offers uninterrupted liberty, thereby venting countries as the system detects a demand. [ 7 ] System constituents are easy to put in during new applications and are straight integrated into the architectural program. For this physique, nevertheless, the cost footing of put ining cutting border airing engineering will be high as stuffs and constituents are advanced but dearly-won. Sustainability/Green Construction Thermally Insulating Basalt Fibre Wall Ties and Bars One constituent of the concrete infrastructure, this unique and advanced tie aids in redistributing the intra-wall thermic energy every bit good as reenforcing the concrete constructions. Manufacturers claim a 40 % sustainability nest eggs over unstained steel and boast significant thermic redistribution due to the Basalt composite. [ 8 ] Limited trial consequences, nevertheless, and a deficiency of long term analysis cut down the claims assurance, yet could show the University as a theatrical production land for this application. Mechanical & A ; Electrical Services Geothermal Energy and Solar Photovoltaic Cells Possibly one of the most of import inventions in sustainable architecture has been the integrating of geothermic energy and solar photovoltaic gaining control systems. Actively prosecuting the heat of the Earth during colder months and pull outing it from the edifice during the warmer months, a geothermic heat system is both efficient and sustainable, cut downing C dioxide and minimising overall edifice care operations. [ 9 ] In a likewise sustainable format, the solar photovoltaic cells harvest the Sun energy in a care free format, redistributing the renewable energy throughout the constructions and cut downing the overall energy cost that will be supplemented through external lines. [ 10 ] Each system will be easy installed during new building, and as environmental consciousness continues to better, the cost footing for these inventions continues to worsen. Potential challenges could germinate from both natural and manmade variables, as the design format must incorporate these characteristics. Therefore, the roofing system must confront in a sun-favourable way to heighten gaining control. Similarly, the geothermic aggregation units must be suitably installed and retain direct entree to the thermic heat beginning. Design Process/Architecture Knowledge Based Virtual Prototyping Given the expansive design chances associated with this undertaking and the potency for an installed architectural bequest, the optimum architectural system will hold in-depth apprehension of the building variables long earlier land is broken. Such systems as identified by Li et Al. ( 2005 ) integrate productiveness rates, environmental mannerism, resource use, and site layout heuristics to guarantee that undertakings are both executable and efficient.

What happens when you combine hiking and camping with biking? You get something called bikepacking. It’s exactly what it sounds like…a sport that involves putting packs and gear onto bikes and riding into an adventure. If the first image that pops into your mind when you hear the word ‘bikepacking’ is a cyclist chugging along the shoulder, loaded up with four panniers, one on each side of both wheels, you’re forgiven. That’s bike touring. It’s been around for ages and people are still very much traveling this way. But in recent years, there’s been an uptick in the number of people swapping out panniers for other types of bags, frames and surfaces. If bike touring is the grandfather of bike adventures, then bikepacking is it’s cooler, lighter, grittier offspring. It’s what fastpacking is to backpacking. And it’s here to stay. New companies now bursting onto the bikepacking scene are only turning out better gear to help both the newbie and the hard-core cyclist access adventures on two wheels. The gear fits onto bikes in a way that’s sleek, balanced, and light, making it possible for riders to pedal across more than just pavement. Most bikepackers, while they’ll ride roads, prefer gravel and dirt, and, in general, are opting for mountain bikes over road bikes. Ride What Ya Got At first glance, bikepacking might seem like the kind of sport with a steep entry point. A quick Google search or a scroll through Instagram will turn up tons of images of tricked-out bikes and complex looking setups. But in actuality, you can go bikepacking on pretty much any bike. Don’t spend a ton of money on new gear, including a set of wheels, until you take a trip or two. Ride what’s parked in your garage and figure out what you need and want. Then, if you like it, you can buy a frame specific to bikepacking and optimize your experience. Erin McGrady / Authentic Asheville Pack What Ya Got Again, keep your investment to a minimum while you’re deciding whether or not bikepacking is something you want to fully commit to. If you’ve got a hydration pack or backpack, use it. Osprey’s Raptor is a good option but for your first ride, but there’s no need to be picky. “Don’t feel like you need a full kit to get out on the trails,” says Greg Hardy, owner of Rockgeist, a custom bikepacking company in Asheville, NC. “Grab a few Voile straps (pictured above) to anchor dry bags to a rack or handlebars and that’s all you need to get started.” Erin McGrady / Authentic Asheville Rent If you’re reluctant to take your first bikepacking trip with random equipment, we get it. The proper gear can be the difference between an okay trip and an excellent one. (And improper gear can sometimes ruin a trip altogether.) Luckily, you’ve got options as more and more companies around the country, like Swift Adventure Co., Mountain Bike SF, and Rockgeist, are offering bikepacking rentals. It’s a good way to test-drive what you’re considering purchasing, and a low-cost way to see whether or not you even like the sport. Erin McGrady / Authentic Asheville Take Your First Trip At some point, you just have to get on your bike and go. We recommend making the first trip short and somewhat close to home. Ryan Prentiss of Asheville, NC (pictured above) started bike touring in 2012 and transitioned into bikepacking in 2016. He rode from San Francisco to Peru in 2018 and has been bikepacking ever since. His advice to new bikepackers? “Don’t try to ride too far, too early,” Prentiss says. “Be nice to your body and your body will adapt to life on a bike.” In other words, plan a short trek, get out there, and repeat. Slowly build up your mileage and extend your trips from long day-rides to weekend adventures and beyond. Don’t Pack the Kitchen Sink The desire to prepare for anything and everything is not a bad thing. In some situations, it’s necessary. But when it comes to bikepacking, consider what’s absolutely necessary and what’s maybe not so important (books, hiking boots, camera gear). The idea is to pack somewhat minimally so that you can travel light and fast. Prentiss says his most valuable bikepacking gear item is his Vargo Bot 700, a titanium pot with a watertight screw-top lid. He uses it to boil tea, prepare food, and store leftovers. Everything you choose to bring, you’ll have to carry with you for the long-haul, so choose wisely. Greg Hardy of Rockgeist Erin McGrady / Authentic Asheville Invest Wisely Ready to invest in some gear? “The first piece of gear we recommend investing in is a framebag,” Hardy says. “It has great packing versatility and convenience, carries weight low on the bike for optimal handling, and can double as a storage option during regular trail riding/commuting.” After that, your options are numerous. Hardy currently has on his bike (pictured above), the Mudlust Custom Framebag, Cache Top Tube Bag, Barjam Harness, and a Medic Bag. The beauty of most of these bags though is that they can be quickly and easily removed. You’re not married to one particular setup so you can change your gear based on your next, longer ride.

This past weekend I took a solo trip to New Orleans for a good friend’s wedding. While I would have loved if Matt could have joined, we didn’t have child care and a quick weekend trip filled with wedding festivities didn’t seem like the best place for a 1 1/2 year old. I haven’t left Dylan very much since he was born so I also thought it would be good for me (and him) to have some separation. Continue reading “48 Hours in New Orleans” →

In the Oil & Gas business, as in most businesses, there are essentially two schools of thought: 1) do what you have to do to get by and 2) do the best possible work you can do. At Old Natchez Energy, we’ve been around long enough to know that #1 just doesn’t cut it... and even when the status quo seemed to be acceptable, it never was. It never is. It’s not who we are, and it’s not how we approach our work. So what is the Old Natchez approach? It’s a simple set of principals that influences how we operate. PROFESSIONAL We deliver only the best for our clients: Accuracy, efficiency, accountability and professionalism in every email, on every deadline, in every detail of every project. Every day. INTEGRITY In work and in life, we surround ourselves with people of integrity, people who treat others with respect, who say what they mean and mean what they say.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said at a press conference Saturday that although he is "confident" he is not either of the people in the racist yearbook photo that emerged Friday, he participated in a dance contest in 1984 in which he darkened his skin with shoe polish as part of a Michael Jackson costume. Details: Northam denied that the "shoe polish" constituted blackface. Northam said his memory of how insensitive he thought the costume was is so strong that he is confident he would have remembered if he appeared in the racist yearbook photo. The governor said he saw the photo for the first time when his staff showed it to him yesterday, and that he did not purchase the yearbook.

This is a fair question when you stop to consider that many design students arrive in college or graduate school pre-programmed with knowledge of multiple digital drawing technologies like AutoCAD, Google SketchUp, Revit, and Photoshop. To successfully develop a unique and responsive design solution, that is to fully understand the design problem, a designer must challenge existing assumptions and form new conclusions as s/he evaluates the strength and weakness of multiple responses through an iterative process. Each of these may be alternate responses to an original assumption or may represent a unique approach to the design problem. While the quantity of “design responses” will vary for each designer and with each project, the ability to quickly generate and visually evaluate responses (individually and simultaneously) is essential in the investigation of a critically unique design response. A critical design process can only be accomplished with hand drawing. buy now Hand drawing in the profession Hand drawing is a powerful tool used by firms in conceptual design presentations. Design educators and professionals see hand drawing as an important skill needed to lead a design team in an interior design or architecture firm. When the spatial complexities of a project or detail are unclear, firms rely on a designer’s capacity to quickly create a hand drawing. This hand drawing visually communicates the idea in an instant to other designers, contractors, or clients. Designers must also be able to hand draw plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, and details to guide a draftsperson or intern as they create or modify a computer drawing. Hand drawings help emphasize a project’s objectives and ideas by omitting non-essential details about material or methods of assembly. buy now Hand drawing versus hand drafting Hand drawing describes the process of intuitively sketching diagrams, loose orthogonal drawings, and perspectives. Hand drawings are created with a pen, pencil, or marker on paper based media. Hand drawings evolve during the act of drawing. While you may have an idea of what you want to describe in a hand drawing, the fluid nature of the drawing process allows you to modify and refine your ideas as you see them emerge on the sheet of paper. The term hand drafting almost always describes the process of creating a measured two-dimensional or three-dimensional drawing in perspective, isometric, plan, elevation, or section. Because of the precise nature of these drawings, they tend to be less intuitive than hand drawings. The process of hand drafting requires more understanding of what you are drawing before you begin the drawing. buy now Computer drafting The term computer drafting is used to describe the process of creating a measured drawing with computer-aided design (CAD) software. This strength of CAD software is also its weakness as a design tool. The amount of information needed to understand a project before beginning a new computer drawing can be paralyzing, especially if formal ideas have not been resolved through hand drawing or hand drafting. This is one instance illustrating the importance of knowing how to hand draw. buy now We believe in drawing. We should be clear, as authors and educators we are not advocating the elimination of computer drafting in design education or the profession. In fact, we rely heavily on computer drafting software in teaching studios, our professional careers, and even designing this textbook. Behind every “polished” computer drawing is a designer with a strong understanding of architectural graphic standards and solid foundation of drawing principles.

Brooklyn Pizza Company and Sky Bar are the first two businesses in Southern Arizona to offset 100% of their electricity demand with solar energy. The decision is an example of the growing leadership of Arizona businesses that are using solar power to address the rising cost of energy and the impact of greenhouse gases on the environment. The solar installation, located on Tucson’s historic 4th Avenue, is comprised of 323 high-efficiency solar panels located on both the building’s rooftop as well as custom parking structures. The solar electric system will also serve as an electric vehicle charging station.The system is expected to generate over 160,000 kWh of electricity per year resulting in more than $488,000 in utility costs savings over the next 25 years. In addition to the environmental and economic benefits, this system serves to inform customers through an innovative educational display. Current energy production, green benefits, and fun eco-facts rotate on the wall- mounted monitor located in Brooklyn’s dining room. This is possible with the use of an online data monitoring system which provides historical power production and energy data. Commercial Solar Pays Off Solar electric (photovoltaic) systems benefit commercial operations in a multitude of ways. In addition to being a visible statement of a business’ commitment to being green, the outlay offers a typical return on investment of 15% or better. The financial picture is brighter for businesses compared to residences for several reasons: they typically pay more for electricity than residential customers, the state tax credit cap is higher at $25,000, and businesses can depreciate the cost of the system, leading to further savings. You can learn more about solar energy for business from Technicians for Sustainability Check out the full solar system profile online >>> GOOD for the PLANET 80,000 gal of water saved each year 178 tons of CO2 saved each year 80 tons of coal saved each year Dollar Details • 7 year payback • 15% rate of return • $19,520 in annual utility savings Financial incentives account for over 82% of the total system cost excluding depreciation. In addition, the solar system will provide 100% of electricity needs for Sky Bar and Brooklyn Pizza Company.

The FCC released an October 7, 2009 testing report yesterday that may in fact confirm that Apple is nearing the final stages of a Bluetooth device that is thought to be that of a stand-alone trackpad of sorts. This would theoretically support Apple's February 2010 trademark filing for a "Magic TrackPad." This report presents you with the one slip-up in the Apple filing that proves it's a trackpad along with other documents, including one that may actually point to an estimated release date of the Magic Trackpad for sometime in August. FCC Testing Documents Re Apple Bluetooth Trackpad FCC ID Labeling for Bottom of Trackpad or "Equipment Under Testing" (EUT) The Magic TrackPad May Debut in August 2010 Apple's request for confidentiality was for a standard 180 days from receipt of their letter. The letter is dated February 10, 2010 which means that confidentiality runs out on or near August 10, 2010. That means that Apple will have to either reveal their new Bluetooth trackpad (thought to be the Magic Trackpad) by such time or risk the device being revealed by the FCC's documents being held in confidence which include external, internal and test setup photos along with the new user manual. How Elaborate will The Magic Trackpad Be? Back on June 7, Engadget revealed a set of photos from China that revealed some form of trackpad. Engadget added at that time: "new images received with a claim that the device supports handwriting recognition." That would support Apple's laser pen patent that was published on January 22, 2010. It would also support an aspect of our special report titled "The Next OS Revolution Countdown Begins" which discussed new ways of incorporating multitouch into a future desktop via a touch-pad keyboard combination unit. How elaborate Apple intends on making the Magic Trackpad to be is yet to be determined at this time. However, that's not going to stop us from speculating about some rather understandable and straight forward applications that could arise from such a device. We could see Apple adding a handwriting capability into the trackpad or at least making it a viable option so as to meet the needs of business executives having to sign legal documents every day. We could see it doubling as a form of graphics tablet should Apple decide to add a future graphics application to either of their software suites. Yet the most important aspect of such a trackpad would be to simply allow us to bring gesturing into the desktop experience and hopefully interact with our iApps and so forth. At the end of the day, what capabilities do you think that Apple will or should incorporate into the first iteration of their Magic TrackPad? Share you wisdom with us below in our comments area. Posted by Jack Purcher on July 20, 2010 at 07:22 AM | Permalink | Comments (2) Comments As for capabiliites - pressure sensitivity or the ability to use a pressure sensitive stylus would be huge (and feeding that back to the iPad? That'd be nice too!). Posted by: Tom | July 23, 2010 at 05:04 AM the device supports handwriting recognition sounds more like what iPhone does with Japanese or Chinese characters. Could see this fit well with Mac mini, Mac Pro, iMac. Isn't what is more interesting is what this says about Apples intentions to bring multitouch to Macs? Mac OS getting multitouch - would be interesting to see if they are prepping the OS to move to this (opens up more things like gesture based UI.

In 2017, the research team identified the “honeysuckle” woods on the property where the honeysuckle removal project will happen. Three main treatments (basal spray, hand cut stems and mechanical removal) will be applied to different areas of the woods and the impact on vegetation and seedlings monitored. A separate property in Indian Hill will remain untreated and serve as the control for the experiment. The main treatments will then be subdivided into additional treatments. In the basal spray treatment the honeysuckle skeletons will be left standing in some locations or removed the following spring. There is some evidence that standing dead honeysuckle protects emerging tree seedling from deer browsing. The hand cut stems will either have herbicide applied to the stumps or this application will be delayed until fall when a foliar spray will be applied. Finally the mechanical cutting of the honeysuckle will be followed by spraying while other areas will see a delay and foliar spray applied in the fall. Subsequent monitoring will help us determine which treatment is most effective at producing a thriving community of tree seedlings and native vegetation. Image A shows hand cut stems sprayed with herbicide and image B shows the result of large scale mechanical removal of honeysuckle. The research team is collecting data on what happens next after different honeysuckle removal strategies are employed. Image A Image B 11 Feb 2019 Research Peter Wheeler 0 comment One year of monitoring later One year of monitoring later We have just completed our first year of monitoring and established some baseline data. In the understory, invasive shrubs and vines are growing throughout our woodlands. In areas of higher native diversity, the dominance of invasive species is lower. In understories thick with honeysuckle there are very few seedlings and saplings. Our canopy data show a rise of red maples is happening across the property. Red maples have physiological properties that make them successful in both early and late successional stages of the forest. Based our surveys, our oak hickory forest is being replaced by other hardwood species such as maple and beech. The large oaks and hickories close the canopy for light, and oak and hickory seedlings are not shade tolerant compared to the other species found in the woods. We will keep documenting this shift. This diagram represents data from one of our most diverse communities (oak hickory). Twenty six species were observed over the summer and fall seasons and the most frequent species (seen in 4/5 or 5/5 plots) are pictured. The three invasive species observed in high frequency were chickweed, honeysuckle and winter creeper. 07 Feb 2019 Learn Peter Wheeler 0 comment A Mystery Waiting to Be Solved Sometimes the stiff crunch of frozen leaves under our boots and the dull browns and grays can make winter seem a little underwhelming in the nature scene. We know from reading ‘Don’t Poke a Bear’ that most animals are active during winter. It’s funny to think about how many animals are eating, sleeping, and surviving all around us, most of the time without our knowledge. Winter is no exception. And with a little magic, we can get a better glimpse into their lives. And by magic, I mean a fresh coat of snow. Even their stealth and nocturnal habits are no match against Mother Nature. It’s like every movement is recorded into the blank pages of a book. For the Harry Potter fans out there, think of Marauder’s map. All of a sudden, footprints appear! Tracking is an activity that can spruce up your winter time blues. One part of tracking is to identify footprints. Looking at the size, shape, gait, and number of digits will help you to decipher who was there. You can start tracking in your own backyard! Did you know that squirrels and rabbits hop with their back feet landing in front of their front feet (pic 1)? You may learn to appreciate how far squirrels can hop and that their tracks always seem to disappear next to a tree. Do you have a pet dog or cat? Look for claw marks with your dog, but not with your cat. Similar to your pets, our wild canine friends like fox and coyote also have four digits. Be sure to check on the surface of logs: foxes enjoy a little balancing act (pic 2). I love seeing the simple bird tracks from birds hopping around my feeders. Have you ever looked close enough to find wing prints in the snow? Some more obvious clues around a feeder may include tufts of hair, small feathers, or even blood! Some of my favorite tracks to find are tiny feet with a line running through it. Can’t you just picture the mouse dragging its tail while it hops through the snow? If you pay enough attention, you may even find the mouse’s tunnel or home. On one tracking expedition, the temperatures had not gone over 25 degrees for a week, yet we saw evidence of: small song birds, great blue heron, coyote, fox, raccoon, squirrel, rabbit, field mouse, vole, turkey, and white-tailed deer. In addition to footprints, we found chewed twigs and nuts, urine, scat, and blood. You can be a beginner tracking the squirrels and birds in your backyard, or an experienced tracker following a fox back to its den. Tracking tells a story of what happened, whether it was a deer wandering around looking for food or a red-tailed hawk diving down to scoop up an unlucky field mouse. Tracking is a mystery waiting to be solved and I encourage you to put on your layers, take a hike, and tell your own story.

But I should meet Myrna at Gains Hall at 9:20 AM, OSU at OHSU campus to go with Legacy Emanuel Hospital before I leave. The reason is to meet Dr.Karl Heisei, the specialist of anticoaguration clinic. Before I left my apartment, I had already checked the time when I should get on the bus by website of trimet, municipal bus and train service. Although I reached the bus stop, the bus did not come, and there was no time table there. I was worried about breaking promise with Myrna, While I moved to another bus stop, I called Myrna “I can not meet you on time, how should I do.” Myrna said “Don’t worry, call me at 9:15 and I’ll catch you.” Finally I could get the bus of another line and reach downtown of Portland. After I called Myrna again, and 15 minute after she picked me up. What a relief!. Meeting with Dr.Heisei and his colleague and also Myrna’s old friend, Pamela J White was successful, and they were very friendly. I promised to see Dr. Heisei at 1:00 PM on October 31th , the I will go anticoaguration clinic of Legacy Emanuel Hospital on afternoon of Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and full time on Friday.

Foursquare’s CEO and co-founder Dennis Crowley likes to draw comparisons to Twitter when talking about Foursquare, emphasizing how his company is evolving in the hands of its users like Twitter has. But when it comes to revenue and advertising, Foursquare is focusing on a different advertising strategy for extracting revenue from its network. That’s the impression I got after listening to Crowley speak Monday at an Advertising Week event Monday. While he didn’t make the direct ad revenue comparison, he shared about how the location-based social network’s early ad product called promoted updates is doing since launching in limited trials with national retailers this past summer. He didn’t talk numbers, but he said a “high percentage” of people who are presented with promotions while searching for places or getting recommendations through Foursquare’s Explore engine are walking into the promoted stores. Foursquare didn’t provide more context around the performance of its ads. “When someone searches with Foursquare and types in a keyword or asks what’s interesting and we put a promotion in front of them, we see a high percentage of users that went to check out this place,” Crowley said. “A lot of people don’t see it as paid advertising, that’s the best thing.” As Foursquare has learned to harvest more and more data and turn it into tailored recommendations, it’s become more of a personalized mobile local search engine for its 25 million users. Since it not only understands what’s near a person but what is relevant to them based on their tastes, their friends’ tastes, the time of day and other signals, Foursquare is able to generate better results than a traditional search engine, said Crowley. Foursquare, which launched in 2009, has been slow in ramping up with ad products. But Crowley said its free merchant tools have allowed businesses to contribute their own content, first with specials and more recently with news updates. That’s become a popular part of the experience for more and more users, who turn to Foursquare to save money, Crowley said. Now, with fully paid update promotions from businesses and retailers, the merchants are able to get in front of users with more targeted messages which many users are happy to accept as just more valuable content. “People see (promoted updates) as part of the product. It’s not an ad-sponsored story or banner ad. That’s the most telling thing from our survey results: People see what will generate Foursquare money …and say that’s my favorite part of the app.” As I wrote before, Foursquare still has a lot to do with its ad products. But the fact that it is becoming a local search engine that can close the loop, or confirm the effectiveness of an ad, through check-ins and card-synced American Express (s axp) transactions is putting it in a great place to make some money. As David Pakman, a partner at Venrock pointed out recently, not all traffic is the same. Advertisers, he predicts, will direct their spending toward transactional content that has a lot of intent and can easily convert to a purchase. That, he said, will win out over a topical content found on Facebook (s fb) and Twitter, which produce content with low signals. Chris Dixon, who is an investor in Foursquare, has also played up Foursquare’s revenue potential saying its user intent data positions it well against other social networks: “Foursquare is the one of the few (only?) social networks with purchasing intent. Which means monetization can be non-annoying and high RPM,” he wrote in a tweet.

For a period, a security vacuum arose with looting, murder, rape of residents on mass flight. Three different Islamist groups therefore moved into this space of power and created a certain form of order, but also a strictly Islamic rule without roots in local religious traditions. This was the situation until the rebels again moved south (January 2013), and panicked leaders in the capital begged France for help. France intervened, and the conflict has suddenly taken on a whole new character and dynamic. This is a high risk game. Mali is therefore currently in a very difficult phase. Will France, in cooperation with troops from the Organization of West African Countries (ECOWAS) and the Malian army, be able to repel the Islamist rebel groups that have controlled northern Mali for almost a year? Or will the intervention get stuck and end in a protracted conflict with rebel groups that receive support from the local population? So far, the intervention has received great support from the population. 4: Belmokthar’s life in northern Mali It is mainly in the desert between Algeria, Mali, Mauritania and Niger that Belmokthar has resided since 2002. Here began a new chapter in his life as an Islamic warrior . The Tuareg were initially not interested in Belmokthar or the GSPC’s Islamic agenda, but neither did they view them as their enemies. They were more concerned with their conflicts with the Malian state than with fighting a smaller group that had crossed the border from Algeria. Northern Mali therefore became a haven for Belmokthar and his allies. This port of refuge exploited the experienced and pragmatic warrior Belmokthar to his advantage. At this time, the old trade routes that have crossed the desert for centuries had gained new relevance as smuggling routes . Everything from ordinary goods to people who wanted to flee to Europe and cigarettes, weapons and drugs were transported here. Belmokthar soon became an important player in this game. When the GSPC decided to embrace the al-Qaeda banner by renaming the al-Qaeda movement in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Belmokthar was not initially a strong supporter of it. He was more concerned with building alliances for his smuggling business by marrying into local groups and continuing his business as a robber baron. If he took Western hostages, it was more to get ransom (something he succeeded in several times) than to use the hostages to make political demands. His bandit business went so far that he was referred to both as Mr. Marlboro (cf. his involvement in cigarette smuggling) and as the area’s “robber jihadist”. What can explain that such a man strikes a terrorist attack that will make him the most hunted man in the entire Sahel (see facts)? It will not serve his interests in shady business. One possible explanation, however, is the recent events in northern Mali and how in the autumn of 2012 he was almost thrown out by AQIM. 5: The rebels in northern Mali According to THEFREEGEOGRAPHY.COM, the Islamist insurgents in northern Mali do not form a united front. They have more the character of a tactical alliance between the TuaregIslamist group Ansar Dine (Aid to the Faith) led by Iyad Ag Ghaly – a rebel leader from the 1990s, and two non-Malian movements al-Qaida in the Maghreb (AQIM) and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (MOJWA). There are various theories as to why Ansar was formed. One theory is that Ag Ghaly created the movement as a military front after he was denied a seat on the MNLA leadership. This may be true as Ansar mainly has two agendas : one related to internal strife among the Tuaregs and a national one that deals with the Tuaregs’ situation and the role that religion (Islam) should play in Mali. This means that it may be possible to negotiate with them , and ECOWAS has tried this in parallel with the organization planning a military intervention. But why did Ansar move south in the first days of January 2013 while informal talks were taking place? Were the talks with the government in Bamako just a tactic to gain time to prepare for further progress? Or was the offensive to the south a desire to get better bargaining chips on hand? The latter is as likely as the former, but whatever the motive, Ansar played a daring game. It is possible that they simply did not think that the authorities in Bamako would react the way they did, nor that France would intervene. Also MOJWA moved south towards Bamako, but could have done this from completely different motives than the Ansar. They are hardly interested in negotiations as there is nothing to negotiate with them about. To the extent that MOJWA has an interest in negotiations, it is that they fail. The same can be said about AQIM . At the heart of AQIM are people who took part in the losing side of the Algerian civil war but did not want to give up the fight. They fled south and into northern Mali. Here they established themselves in inaccessible desert areas, took western hostages and demanded ransom and eventually changed their name from GSPC to AQIM . The name change does not mean that they had suddenly become an operational branch of al-Qaeda. Rather, it should be understood as a marketing strategy to appear more international and powerful than they really were. In many ways, this worked when West Africans from other countries in the area sought out AQIM and joined the movement. It was these who later came to break out and form MOJWA. It is therefore a motley assembly of people with different interests and motives that France has now gone to war against. How they will react, remains and see. Will they flee back to the desert, or offer fierce resistance from their current positions? This is an element of uncertainty. A completely different thing is what is happening now in Bamako.

Salt Lake City, UT – A Utah state legislative task force has been meeting since May of 2005 to review the Government Records Access and Management Act. Four bills are being introduced this session to amend GRAMA, and opponents worry that new limitations on e-mail disclosure will hinder citizen access to the workings of elected officials. RadioWest looks at the impact pending legislation would have on personal correspondence and the public's right to open government.

Gobsmacked all these years later, after having now edited some 255 mediocre #TVShow episodes using modern technology (Premiere, After Effects, etc), by the subtle visual effects layered on #MoulinRouge, edited some 22 years ago. You would never think twice of a seemingly insignificant shadow over-laid on a green screened character, but it adds such depth and texture -- done with ~(°-°)~ magic(?!). They still supplemented 8mm in-camera editing and projection splicing where my friend was going to film school at the time.

I recently participated in an interactive career fair called “If the Shoe Fits” at Mission Bay High School with fellow Smith lab member Emily Kelly. Emily and I represented SIO and the career of “marine biologist”… our shoes were SCUBA diving booties and fins. We were accompanied by fellow SIO students Kate Furby of the Sandin lab, and Phil Bresnahan of the Martz lab. This was my first career fair, and I had the pleasure of learning the ropes from a seasoned outreach veteran. Emily has an incredible passion and talent for talking with students about marine ecology and conveying her enthusiasm for the ocean. I had fun learning about communicating with students, and talking with them about why I love being a marine biologist. Emily Kelly and Kate Furby talk with students about sea creatures in the touch tank Our career fair display was a hit, with a shallow touch tank that allowed us to show students local marine species and encourage their curiosity for these amazing animals. We talked with students about how sea stars are voracious predators that eat prey by everting their stomachs and how the holes in the kelp blades were caused by hungry sea urchins that had munched away the algae. The star of the show, without a doubt, was the lion’s mane nudibranch, Melibe lionina. This translucent nudibranch has an oral hood lined with tentacles that resemble a lion’s mane as it swims through the water by undulating its body. One of the popular questions we asked the students was to hypothesize what the nudibranch would smell like? The students ranged in age from freshman to seniors, with varying levels of biology background, and their answers ranged from salty to fishy. They were surprised to discover that the nudibranch actually smelled sweet, some said like watermelon candy, which is caused by an enzyme produced by the nudibranch that is thought to deter predation. Phil shows a colorful demonstration of changing pH in a flask and talks about being a marine chemist. In addition to the touch tank, we also showed a slideshow with underwater photographs that we each had taken during our research trips. One of the fun aspects of our job is conducting research underwater by SCUBA diving. Emily displayed some of her dive gear and described how we breathe underwater using a SCUBA tank and regulator. Phil represented the marine chemists using a colorful chemistry demonstration with a flask of liquid that changed color depending on pH. He used the pH indicator dye m-cresol purple, and by adding either hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide (a base), he showed a visually striking demonstration of changing pH and related this to the importance of pH in the ocean. This topic is of particular concern with the heightened awareness of the effects of ocean acidification (decreasing ocean pH) on marine ecosystems. The group at the Mission Bay High School career fair, “If the Shoe Fits”. It was an enlightening experience to speak with high school students about my career path. I received a shocking reminder about the importance of outreach and sharing my enthusiasm for the ocean when we heard several Mission Bay students say they had never been in the ocean before. One of the best parts of being a marine biologist is inspiring other people to appreciate the ocean in new ways… such as seeing a freshman in high school squeal with excitement after holding a nudibranch. This is one more reason I love being a marine biologist! Tags:coral reef, Emily Kelly, Maggie Johnson, Science Education, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Smith Lab

STEEM has dropped today to nearly touch the Very Long Term Base line. Below is shown the complete LOF STEEM model I’ve been managing since January. Click for a larger view. Some of you may remember my models from the Spring, posted irregularly before Kosh died in June. The models are generally unremarkable except when particular artifacts show up, which I call Fall Channels. Fall Channels have an uncanny ability to indicate a point in time that a price level will be observed on the model. Those points are circled and then usually labeled with the word “EXIT”. Sometimes I just circle them with no label. Finding The Very Long Term Baseline Below is a zoomed in version. Note the circled Fall Channel EXITS on the left as Price made its way beyond the Extended Fall Channel. Those EXITS are found by precisely plotting the Extended Fall Channel Control Lines once they appear. The purpose of a Control Line is to provide a guide to Price lower until a strong support is found. In this case Price found CLO-A (Control Line Overall, the “A” variant) and has followed it down to the Very Long Term Baseline. Click the model for a larger view. Making Some Sense At This Level .So what does this all mean to our pockets? For me it means a couple of things. First, it means that STEEM has completed a full cycle over the timeframe of this model. LOF is used primarily for modeling Post-Peak Price Behaviors. So I expect within a couple of days this model will be considered “Complete”. It also means to me that Price is at an inflection point where we learn whether STEEM lives or dies. Either it recovers from today’s lows or it fails as a cryptocurrency, fails as a blockchain. If I see price dip materially below that VLT Baseline, it would mean to me that STEEM has zero future prospects. On the other hand, it means that Price has found what should be a massive support. As long as the millionaires who are supposedly The Force behind STEEM aren’t planning to abandon it, we should expect a solid rally soon. I’m not here telling you what to do. Modeling equities using Lines Of Force is just something I do for fun. I didn’t get into STEEM to make tons of money. If you did, and then you didn’t, I feel for ya. I have no advice. Buy, sell, or hold at your own risk and by your own decision. And good luck to you, whatever you decide. NEVER TRADE YOUR MONEY BASED ON MY WORK OR ANY WORK OTHER THAN YOUR OWN. MY WORK LOOKS AT PRICE AND PRICE ACTION OVER TIME AND IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.

The Grib Files indicated that after Wednesday there would be very little wind till the weekend, so we decided to cut short our stay in Gran Tarajal. As planned, Antonio lifted Dutch Link at around 1000hrs Tuesday 24 April and left us in the slings so that we could antifoul again the bits above the blocks and supports. By 1200hrs we were back in the water and immediately sailed westwards. The wind was unexpectedly from the East so, as we were broad reaching in 20 to 25 knots wind, we decided not to bother to raise the main. Approaching Morro Jable, the wind died away but the sea was strangely disturbed After rounding the headland by Morro Jable, the wind filled in rapidly to 25+ knots from the NNE , the expected direction with frequent gusts above 30 knots giving us speeds of 7 to 8 knots with just a hankerchief of genny and no mainsail On a couple of occassions we had gusts of 45 knots, heeling the boat over dramatically and blowing out a plastic window in one of the canvas side panels in the cockpit. Despite the strong winds, the sea remained quite calm as we were sailing quite in the "lee" of the island. In the gusts we occassionaly made 9 knots - very unusual for Dutch Link. By 1645hrs we had reached our destination for the night, the anchorage off the little fishing village of Puertito at Punta Jandia, the SW tip of Fuerteventura, having covered just under 30 nmiles. Despite the 25 knots of wind, there was not much swell and the anchor held superbly in sand with 9 meters water depth and 60 meters of chain to give us a secure feeling. anchor coordinates 28deg 04.21N, 014deg 29.86W The Lighthouse of Punta Jandia, just south of our anchorage By 0800hrs Wednesday 25 April, the anchor was up and we raised the mainsail with two reefs and motored south past the nasty reefs off the point. The wind was 20 to 25 knots from the N/NNE and as our course to Las Palmas was 276degrees, we had a fast beam to fine reach - making 6 to 7 and often 8 knots most of the way. The sea was a bit choppy and we had quite a wet sail. With overcast skies, it reminded us of North Sea sailing The panel which was blownout the previous day left us somewhat unprotected from the waves which occassionally sent spray over the boat Las Isletas - the peninsular just north of Las Palmas comes into view A few miles off Las Palmas harbour, this Belise registered fishing boat overtook us very close At 1600hrs, we entered Las Palmas harbour , in good time to fill with diesel before going to our berth. Total distance from Gran Tarajal to Las Palmas, 80 nautical miles. Unfortunately, while backing into our berth, the lazy line from one of the fixed bow ropes caught in our bow thruster. So Mike had to don his wetsuit and have his first swim of the year to cut the rope coiled tightly round the bow thruster propellor.

If you are a Medicare beneficiary, you might be eligible for home healthcare. Home healthcare services are provided by qualified medical professionals. In order to qualify for home health care services, you must be a Medicare beneficiary and need to require intermittent skilled nursing care. Some Medicare beneficiaries also require physical, occupational, or speech therapy. You should also be homebound, meaning you can’t leave your home on your own. Here are some helpful tips to get the most out of your Medicare benefits. The number of people needing long-term care is growing rapidly, especially among baby boomers. Baby boomers represent around 25% of the U.S. population, so the demand for these services will continue to grow. The demand for private caregivers will also increase as life expectancies increase. In part, this trend is due to better health care, but it is also related to the low birth rate in America. By 2050, over 73 million baby boomers will need home healthcare services, creating an even larger demand. Licensed home care services agencies offer a range of services. Many agencies will accept Medicare coverage, so be sure to check with your insurance company to make sure you’ll be covered. If you need nursing care, look for a Medicare-certified home healthcare agency. Some of these agencies offer free medical assessments. To determine if home healthcare services are right for you, check out their list of qualified providers. This will help you choose the right service for your loved one. Patients who need home healthcare services should know that they can receive high-quality care from a qualified, experienced professional. Compared to the health outcomes of patients treated in hospitals, patients receiving home health care services are more likely to experience fewer complications and have better health outcomes. Because of the one-on-one relationship between their provider and their client, home health care services also improve the bonds between the client and their caregiver. According to Cleveland Clinical Journal, home health care patients have a higher level of trust and confidence in their healthcare providers. The main benefit of hiring a certified home healthcare agency is the high level of care that they can provide. They can provide medical care for a patient at home by making sure they’re comfortable and safe in their own home. The staff will need to make sure to check their patients’ vital signs on a regular basis, and they will need to supervise the patient’s health care activities to make sure everyone is working in the same direction. Most importantly, home healthcare agencies must be Medicare approved. If you’re planning to open your own home healthcare agency, you can choose the right type of business to fit your needs. Start by researching and applying for state licenses, which are required by law for home health care agencies. Then, look for training options online and get started as soon as possible. With this training, you’ll be able to hire qualified caregivers and meet state requirements quickly and easily. You’ll be well on your way to building a thriving home healthcare agency. And don’t forget that you’re never alone – the market for home healthcare services is growing faster than ever before. Telemonitoring technology provides real-time health status updates and allows patients to stay in touch with their home healthcare teams without the need for a landline. A home healthcare team can call a patient’s home to see how they’re doing, and respond to any symptoms that arise. The technology is also HIPAA-compliant, which means the information sent is secure and confidential. The technology also makes communication between the patient’s home healthcare team and the home health care team easier. Occupational safety and health professionals should be aware of possible hazards related to home healthcare work, including injuries that result from poor technique. Musculoskeletal disorders, including sprains and strains, are the most common injuries home healthcare workers experience. If you’re unsure about the safety of your clients, check the publication from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). During home health care, a nurse, physical therapist, or physician will follow a physician’s orders and update them on the patient’s progress. The frequency of visits varies, as well. Some patients require 24-hour care, while others only need short visits once or twice a week. As such, home health care services are tailored to the needs of each patient. The goal is to provide a higher level of comfort and safety while minimizing the risk of injury or illness.

People have said that the economy has grown quite a bit. But I do see that there has been strength of buyers show up to the dealerships with some cash to purchase a used car. Now that they buyers have saved up some money it can be a challenge if the government creates a tax or a fee that will take some of their refunds away to go towards tome health insurance cost. This would slow down the car lots because around tax time is when car lots thrive. This change may not take into effect until 2014 so between now and then try to take full advantage of your tax refunds and save for a rainy day if need. My rainy day is buying or upgrading to a newer vehicle every year from either of the buy here pay here car lots in NJ. Sounds a little selfish but there is one way that I treat myself and that is my car that I have know and grown to love. If buying a car is a hobby to you then spend whatever time you want to make yourself happy because life is short, enjoy it while you can. Santa Fe Albuquerque Farmington Las Cruces If you feel you want to recommend us to your friends we may be able to point you to a few dealers that will provide you with a discount. There are always going to be a need for people looking for an alternative finance option to get a car loan. Some people do not have the best of history regarding paying their bills on-time and you know this by just talking to the folks at the local Ford dealer managers that always have to turn down business. Some of these clients end up on our website looking and hoping to score a deal and fund their car with a pretty good rate on a 24 month term basis. While some loans will give you more time to pay it off you can actually look on our site and decide which option you would like after your loan has been approved and also choose from 6 dealerships in the city limits. We do not like to hold anyone just to a couple of dealerships because we understand that you need selections also its better when you have 6 options to find a car versus 1 or 2. We can ask for more but then again we do see that you must get your first car or at least some good wheels to get you from one point to the next without any mechanical errors.

Southampton manager Ralph Hassenhuttl has expressed his delight over Kyle Walker-Peters’ improvement over recent games. The Tottenham Hotspur loanee joined the Saints in January, and has seen limited game-time since the move. But the defender could now see an upturn in form following his recent positive display against Arsenal. Ralph Hassenhuttl Praises Improving Kyle Walker-Peters Encouraging Performance Despite being named among the substitutes for the clash against Arsenal on Thursday, Walker-Peters caught the eye when called upon. Yan Valery’s tepid display forced the Southampton boss to shake things up, and the 23-year-old was called into action. Walker-Peters boasted a 95% pass accuracy, attempted two crosses and created one big chance in his 45-minute cameo. It captured the attention of Ralph Hassenhuttl who was impressed with the display but says improvements can still be made. Speaking to football.london, Hassenhuttl said: “He did a good job in possession with good decisions. We can still improve this player but he was much better.” “Especially in the second half, we needed a lot of possession and then it was clear that with Kyle we have footballing a guy who is calm on the ball and can create some threat on the right side,” he told Hampshire Live. “Although the last final cross or the final pass wasn’t always perfect, I think we can do it better and this must be the goal for the future to work on this.” Loan Brings Long-Term Worries While Walker-Peters appears to be beginning to demonstrate his skill-set on the south coast, the issue of the defender’s future may come into question. The Englishman is set to return to north London at the end of the season, however, Hassenhuttl is remaining focused on the present. “This is always the same issue you have with players on loan, especially when you know that there’s less options to get him permanent in the summer,” he said. “But even now, we must find the guy who is fitting the best to what we need at the moment.” Walker-Peters’ parent club Spurs will undoubtedly be keeping close attention to the defender’s development. Although Serge Aurier appears to have nailed down a starting spot under Jose Mourinho, right-sided defensive depth remains shallow. A back injury has ruled out emerging youngster Japhet Tanganga, and makeshift fullback Juan Foyth has a knee injury. Should Walker-Peters continue to gain valuable experience at Southampton, he could prove to be a useful asset on his return to Spurs; adding an ability to bolster an already-limited defensive area.

Remember what I said the other day, about how the best pocket knife is the one you carry? I meant it. If you cannot or will not carry a pocket knife or multi-tool, there are still quite a few keychain-sized multi-tools available. Any knife is (usually) better than no knife. The Opinel keychain is 1-7/8″ when closed and 3-1/8″ open with the 1-5/16″ blade fully extended. The blade is made from stainless steel, and the handle is beechwood. Normally sub-$10 knives make me wary, but not this one. While I do like keychain tools that have industrial-looking or mass-appeal designs, the Opinel knife really caught my eye as something different. Maybe it’s the wood handle. Yes, it’s definitely the wood handle. Buy Now(via Amazon) Also available via Harry Epstein There are a number of other mini knife options as well. At first thought the SOG Micron knife comes to mind, but it’s a little bit too small and flat, and so I regularly misplace it. I’m still not over SOG’s lousy customer service incident.

Reply Stuart says April 6, 2012 at 12:48 am No, there’s no locking collar. Or at least I don’t think so. The slotted metal ferrule, if it can be called that, does not rotate. I plan to slip an O-ring over the blade to avoid accidental deployment. Although, the knife doesn’t feel loose enough that it could open on its own. Reply Chip says April 10, 2012 at 12:58 pm Instead of finding myself in a jam before I do anything about it… I took what you said into consideration. Since my EDC usually consists of my phone, keychain with a flashlite, and my leatherman… I dont really have a backup blade to rely on if say my leatherman doesnt get remembered or switched over from the pants from the day before (thats happened). So I liked your keychain blade idea and did a little web surfing to find a suitable one for my needs. Found a Kobalt keychain utility knife that would save the day in a pinch if I didnt have my go to tools. Best part is, it was instock at my local Lowes and its already found a home on my keyset. Nice to have a lil piece of mind with a backup near by at all times.

I first got into polenta when we lived in Buenos Aires. Before this I’d never heard of it and as far as I know it’s not very popular in the UK. Gluten free breakfast cereal was nowhere to be found in Argentina so I had to make do with something else for my favourite meal of the day. When I came across polenta in the supermarket I wasn’t too sure what it was but when John told me that it’s basically cornmeal I figured I could prepare it with milk, fruit and cinnamon like a kind of porridge. It was delicious and I ate it almost every morning for breakfast, including at 4am on the day of my first marathon. Recently I’ve been experimenting with more savoury dishes which involve polenta, one of these being delicious spicy sausage polenta. Last week I was pretty excited when John said he was making polenta fries topped with fried egg for dinner! Ingredients 18oz Pre-cooked polenta (we used Food Merchant as it’s labelled gluten free) Cooking oil Two eggs Spinach Pepper Avocado Hot sauce How to make it Chop polenta into medium wedges Fry in a little oil for 15 mins or until ready While polenta is frying, make salad from spinach, sliced peppers and chunks of avocado Serve polenta fries on top of salad Fry an egg in leftover oil and try to keep it runny Top polenta with fried egg Add as much hot sauce as you can handle and serve! celiac coeliac egg fries gluten free polenta recipe salad simple Simple Recipes Comments are closed Trackback URL

How stange. Back in 1990, Ian Bone of Class War lived on same small council estate -Hunsdon Estate - as self in Hackney and was 'office worker' at Brooke Road Community Centre where my kids went to play group. This was at same time as Poll Tax. I think there was a link between Ian and Pinki and OXford Street 48 -Falklands War in 82? Certainly he was genuinely upset when I told him she had died when I met him on Liverpool Dockers action in pub near Conway Hall/ Red Lion Square in 96. 20.10.2006 15:22 'We need to push and shove and throw things' In the 80s he founded Class War, whose newspaper featured photos of beaten-up policemen. He went on Bash the Rich marches and was labelled Britain's most dangerous man. Now a grandad with a dodgy brick-throwing arm, Ian Bone still believes in violent action to overthrow the state. Emine Saner meets him Friday October 20, 2006 The Guardian I a- Hunm not sure I have got the right house. A pleasant semi in a Bristol suburb, the recycling bin placed neatly outside the front door containing a few copies of the Guardian and an empty olive oil bottle. Surely an anarchist can't live here. And when Ian Bone opens the door, he does not look much like an anarchist either. Wiry, bal ding, with little round glasses and wearing a shirt and slacks (slacks!), can this really be the man described by one tabloid newspaper as "the most dangerous man in Britain"? He makes a cup of tea and I scour his kitchen for evidence. Magnetic words arranged on his fridge read: "those who shall not be ruled or governed". He asks if Earl Grey is all right. I ask him if that is what anarchists drink. "I do," he says. In his sunny sitting room, he places his cup on a Che Guevara coaster. Smashing the state is one thing, but presumably even anarchists don't like rings on their coffee tables. In the 80s, Bone founded Class War - a cobbled-together tabloid newspaper costing 20p that became a whole anarchist movement. Bone's notoriety grew with the paper's circulation. Well-known to the police and security service, it is a wonder he was never jailed. Through Class War's support of striking miners, dockers and print workers, and at riots - Brixton, Toxteth and Stonehenge - in the 80s, the paper was, at its height, selling 15,000 copies every week (though once it had been passed around, its readers numbered many more thousands). Not bad for a group of anarchists who spent most of their time in the pub. Memorable front pages included Margaret Thatcher with a hatchet buried in her head, a picture of gravestones, with the headline, "We have found new homes for the rich", and to commemorate the birth of Prince William, the headline "Another fucking royal parasite". One of the most popular pages was the "hospitalised copper" page - a picture of a policeman being beaten up or laid out. "We loved that," says Bone. "But it was done with humour, so even though it was violent, it didn't come across as psychotic violence." So what made Bone, now a 59-year-old father of five and grandfather, devote his entire life to anarchy? "I guess I'm the radical from 1968 who never grew up," he says. "I feel just as strongly about politics and anarchism and injustice as I did then. I'm glad I'm still angry, there's plenty to be angry about. I never thought about having a job or a career. Jobs and material possessions have never loomed large in my life." He lives with his partner Jane and manages a youth work project outside Bristol. "I'm not a full-time revolutionary," he says. "Too many aches and pains." Having given up drinking, he has used his spare time over the past year to write his autobiography (reading it, you get an idea of how much he used to drink - in fact, it is a wonder he can remember any of it). Until last year, he wrote, published and sold the Bristolian, four mouthy sides of A4 costing 20p, exposing suspect council dealings (and for which he was runner-up for last year's Paul Foot award for campaigning and investigative journalism) but he gave that up because it became too exhausting to produce every week. Bone became an anarchist after reading about it in Punch magazine in a dentist's waiting room. "It gave the address of Freedom, the anarchist paper, so I wrote off to them asking for information about anarchy," he says. He was 15, the only anarchist in the village in Hampshire where he lived with his parents. His father, John Bone, was the butler for Sir Gerald Coke, grandson of the Earl of Leicester, and the family lived in a cottage on the estate. He remembers rich children addressing his father as "Bone" and the servitude that was required of him. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he grew up with a hatred of the upper classes. The Bones had high hopes for their son, the first of the family to go to university. Instead of becoming a teacher, as his mother wanted, Bone became a full-time anarchist, supported, once he left university, by the dole. "I thought I might as well be unemployed so I could be a full-time radical revolutionary and the state would pay me to do it." That was the late 60s. Peace and love was over, replaced by student demonstrations, largely against the Vietnam war. In 1968, he thought anarchists would be able to overthrow the state and was cheered by reports of student demonstrations across the world. "One day we heard that anarchists had burned down the French stock exchange and we were like, 'Yeah, we've got to do something.' It was ridiculous - all we did was occupy the university. It's funny now. 'Anarchists in Swansea have seized control of the canteen building.'" Then there is the cast of fellow anarchists: prostitutes, punks and my favourite, Brother Silas, an anarchist monk from an East End monastery who always wore the brown robes of his order and never carried money so other people would have to buy him pints in the pub. The agendas of their group meetings would include topics as diverse as class war, the miners' strike and sexual politics (it was argued that everyone was bisexual and all comrades should be "forced to be free"; that is, they should all have sex with each other). Bone had started his first anarchist paper, Alarm, in Swansea. It comprised handwritten sheets of paper with punchy graphics and funny headlines. "There was a lot of corruption in Swansea and we got a couple of council leaders sent to jail. That taught me you could do a working-class paper that people actually liked, as opposed to a leftie paper full of agitprop." When he moved to London in 1982, he was planning to replicate Alarm on a national level. Hadn't he realised anarchy wasn't going to work? "We were never bothered about anarchy working as a system. It was about fighting back in the here and now. Part of that was because of Thatcher. You can hate Blair quite a lot but Thatcher was clearly out to destroy the working class. Also, anarchism offered immediacy. You didn't have to develop a 10-year programme, you could go out in the street and shout at people." What Bone did not - and does not - like are rich people. Class War held two Bash the Rich marches in affluent areas of London - one in Holland Park, another in Hampstead - to intimidate the "ruling" class who lived there and also went to the Henley regatta. Did they actually bash any rich people? "No. A few got laid out at Henley but not on the Bash the Rich marches. But it felt good walking down there. We gave a lot of abuse and shouts and they did cower, a few of them, behind their curtains." He still thinks he, or rather the anarchist movement, can overthrow the state. "I've still got aspirations ... the best is yet to come, without a doubt. I still think radical social revolution for social change is possible but the possibilities are very low at the moment. Since Blair got in, the belief that you can affect radical social change is way down the agenda." He dismisses the march against the Iraq war even though it was the largest ever peacetime demonstration. "So what? They had a million people and what did they do? What should have happened was direct action - blocking roads, attacking Downing Street, trying to seize half of London. It needs opposition on the streets to stop the Iraq war." Violence, he says, is key. "Not [attacking someone] individually, but if you're fighting back as a mob against a particular thing like the poll tax or the Iraq war [then] yes. The police are there as the front line of the state so if you're opposing the state, you have to have a go at the police. If the rich or the ruling class or the police are defending their interests, they deserve everything that's coming to them." I spot his slippers (well-worn moccasins) by the sofa. Is he the most dangerous granddad in Britain? He laughs. His next big thing is a march on Downing Street next May. "Blair's going to go sometime in May. We're going to get people down as near as we can to Downing Street and we're going to stay there until Blair goes. Hopefully, we'll get tens of thousands of people, not just a few anarchists. If he was to go a day early because of us rather than his timetable then that hopefully will be a way of re-energising working-class politics." And if it turns nasty? Bone may be approaching 60 but he says he has still got a lot of fight. Is he still violent? "In the right circumstances, yes. If on May Day we need to push and shove and throw things and kick and fight to get to Blair, absolutely. We won't be sitting in the road singing fucking peace songs. No music or jugglers - that's the kiss of death." He seems genuinely excited about his plans for May, although one of his biggest concerns is his arthritis. "The old petrol-bomb arm, you know," he explains. "It's really going to affect my brick-throwing. I'm going to have to learn how to throw bricks left-handed." And I like to think that when Bone is out by the pretty fish pond in his neat back garden, this is what he likes to practise. · Bash the Rich, by Ian Bone, is published by Tangent Books, price £9.99. posted by Unknown | 11:49 pm | 1 comments Friday, October 13, 2006 Rubella Ballet website -wowee!

Plettac was one of the first in Ukraine engaged in the supply and service of scaffolding of European quality. The history of Plettac began in 1997 when plettac assco scaffold systems were first supplied and assembled in Ukraine. The real success came in less than 3 years, when our specialists have successfully implemented a project on the construction design of scaffolding to a height of 97 meters! No one has done this before us, and now it is unlikely that there will be an organization capable of repeating this. Over the past 20 years, the company has managed to build hundreds of projects and assembly more than 12 million square meters of scaffolding and even more to lease. Sold hundreds of tons of different types of scaffolding. We list some of the most significant projects: the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Lviv National Opera, Mandarin Plaza, the central railway station in Kiev, St. Vladimir's Cathedral in Chersones, Magellan on the Towers, the Arcade bank, the 100 meter high skyscraper in Timofeeva Street, the Cathedral St. Nicholas on Bekhterevsky Lane, Megamax on Shulyavka, Mormon Temple on Okruzhnaya, Renaissance Hotel, Trade Union House on Maydan, TSUM on Khreshchatyk. In the future, Plettac has mastered the delivery of scanclimber hoists and other manufacturers from Europe. And began to provide comprehensive services for the rental, installation and repair of mast lifts of different types. Today we can be proud of our successes. Here are some of them: Ocean Plaza, Trade Union House, Sport Hotel, Ministry of Infrastructure, Kiev Pechersk Lavra, German Embassy. Customers who buy or rent scaffolds and hoists in Plettac, in most cases, are satisfied with the quality of services. This is indicated by the fact that most of our customers have become regular customers for many years. But in the collective of Plettac the spirit of striving for even greater achievements always lives. To this end, our staff is continuously working on solutions to ensure the safety of people working at height. This is facilitated by regular trainings and specialized courses that confirm the high professional skills of our employees. Board and staff is one team that works in close cooperation. This is confirmed by the high motivation of the staff, which is the reason for the steady growth of Plettac in the Ukrainian market. The firm is constantly working to improve the skills of its employees, who ensure its development. In order to evaluate the seriousness of our proposals, we suggest familiarize yourself with the photo gallery of our most interesting projects.

1,900 doses of Moderna Covid-19 vaccine were spoiled at a Boston, Massachusetts VA center when a contractor accidentally loosened a freezer plug. Link copied Jan. 22, 2021, 6:02 PM UTC By Tim Fitzsimons A Massachusetts Veterans Affairs hospital said that nearly 2,000 doses of Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine were spoiled after a cleaning contractor accidentally unplugged a refrigerator. The 1,900 doses were located at a VA facility in the Boston neighborhood of Jamaica Plain, where on Tuesday VA officials realized that the doses had not been stored at proper temperatures, NBC News Boston reported. A VA spokesperson told the NBC News affiliate that a contractor "accidentally removed [an electrical plug] while cleaning" and that an investigation is underway to find out why the freezer's alarm system and monitoring system did not work as intended. Full coverage of the coronavirus outbreak The VA also said that replenishments were on the way and that they did not expect that the loss of nearly 2,000 doses of vaccine would impact their vaccination efforts. According to a count by NBC News, Massachusetts has confirmed 486,180 Covid-19 cases since the start of the pandemic last year. The Boston Public Health Commission declined to comment and directed inquiries to the VA Medical Center. The Department of Veterans Affairs and Boston VA did not immediately respond to a NBC News request for comment. Download the NBC News app for full coverage of the coronavirus outbreak Several cases of vaccine dose mishandling — intentional and unintentional — have made headlines in recent weeks as vaccine bottlenecks have slowed distribution even as Covid-19 continues to spread. Both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccines require specific sub-freezing temperature ranges for storage, meaning that supply chains must be able to provide long-term temperature-controlled transit. While nearly 2,000 Moderna doses were ruined in Tuesday's VA incident by warm temperatures, nearly 12,000 were spoiled earlier this month because temperatures were too cold during transit.

When an order is opened, aACE evaluates three fields on the order to determine where commissions may need to be calculated: Sales Rep, Acct Manager, and Referral Company. If required information is missing from these fields, edit the order and update the sales fields. Then reset the commission factors. Payment Eligibility The amount of a commission that is eligible for payment depends on the amount of invoicing that has been fully paid. (Note: Invoices that are still in Open status are not factored into the commissions.) Example Scenario aACME Education Solutions received an order from Highbridge Academy for 30 student tablets. The sales rep assigned to the order is Mara Harvey. The student tablets have a fixed-amount commission of 20.00 per tablet, as seen in the line item code record. After the tablets have been shipped, the A/R Department sends Highbridge Academy an invoice for 10,080.00 (plus shipping). However, the school sends a first check for only 7,500.00. That receipt is applied to the order, but the commission cannot be generated until the invoice is closed. After Highbridge Academy sends a final payment and the aACME A/R Department posts the receipt, Ned Walker in Accounts Payable decides to check on how much will be paid in commissions on the order. He uses the Orders module's Quick Search bar to filter the list view, showing this single order. Then he clicks the Print icon and selects Print Commissions Detail Report: The report shows that Mara has earned 600 in commissions on this sale, that the order has been 100% invoiced, and that the invoice has been closed. So Ned generates a commission statement for Mara.

Although we don’t have the statistics right here, we are sure they would show that sincere pledges of undying romantic love outnumber ensuing lifelong attachments by a ratio of a lot. Nevertheless, there is something impressively dramatic about a vow that commits you without reserve until the end of time. And perhaps the statistics would even show that relationships that incorporate more than some threshold amount of pledging behavior also have longer median lifetimes then the others by a ratio of a fair bit. "A fixed idea is like the iron rod which sculptors put in their statues. It impales and sustains." Hippolyte Taine (1828-1893) Pledge Buy song (MP3) Buy song (sheets) Buy album (MP3) Buy album (CD) The Song Walt: I used to scoff when I heard this song. I believed – heck, I knew – that nobody can count on having the same emotion in the distant future as they do in the present. But now I’m a convert. I feel completely the opposite. All: As do we all. Walt: Go ye now, and be at peace! All: Huh? The Music The melody of Pledge covers a moderately wide range — a minor thirteenth, from F# to D — so it really lends itself to showing off your vocal chops. Unfortunately, not all singers have vocal chops, but we’re not allowed to say who we’re thinking about when we say that.

NATURAL ODOR ELIMINATOR - Our 100% Natural Activated charcoal bags eliminate odors & deodorize smells in gym bags, cars, toilet rooms, backpacks, laundry rooms, pet spaces, boats, RV's, shoes & more! Furthermore, our deodorizer bags do this without electricity or batteries so they can be placed anywhere. At 200g, they are light enough to put in backpacks, luggage or dirty clothes hampers. Our odor control bags are discrete, neutral, & ready to eliminate embarrassing, gross, & funky smells. BACKED BY SCIENCE - Our activated charcoal bags purify the air around them by the scientific process of absorption. Pollutant molecules are trapped inside the pore structure of the carbon substrate in the charcoal. Similar carbon filters are used in gas masks, respirators, water filters and other purification products. The “activated” part comes from when the charcoal is treated with oxygen to open up millions of tiny pores creating 1000 +/- square meters of surface area per gram of charcoal. CHEMICAL FREE, NON TOXIC, ECO-FRIENDLY - Our charcoal bags do not mask the smells like other “odor eliminator” products. They eliminate odors using the science of absorption (discussed above). Unlike other products that spray stuffy fragrances, propellants, chemicals, toxins or additives into your air, our activated charcoal bags purify your air to make it CLEAN! Other products can actually make your air quality worse! Our bags are 100% safe for humans and pets to use. CONTINUOUSLY WORKING - Our natural product works continuously for TWO YEARS to eliminate humidity, odors, allergens & airborne pollutants without electricity. Place your bag in direct sun every month for an hour per side to recharge the carbon & refresh pollutant absorbing pores. Most electric air purifiers are heavy, loud, unsightly, & cost money to run. You can use our premium grade air purifying charcoal bags in your boat, RV, refrigerator, garbage can lid, diaper pail, athletic gear, etc. HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS MAKE A DIFFERENCE - Our charcoal bags use GRADE A fabric while most all competitors on Amazon are made from Grade C or worse. We selected this fabric & an embossed logo, rather than a huge, cheesy, unsightly label stitched on the bags. We want our customers to have a HIGH QUALITY & attractive product for their HOME, CAR, BOAT, OR RV. All bags are packaged & sealed in food grade premium ECO-FRIENDLY bags. The 5 ct 200G will arrive in a branded, recyclable box.

This engaging, interactive Emotional Intelligence exercise is a perfect workplace discussion tool. These 30 EQ conversation prompts will improve mutual understanding and help teams develop stronger emotional intelligence skills. The resource is suitable for use in both virtual and face-to-face training sessions. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TRAINING ACTIVITY LEARNING OBJECTIVES Learn about the emotional intelligence in an interactive way Help participants’ identify their own EI strengths and weaknessses Build a list of the skills and attributes associated with good EI Understand ways to improve emotional intelligence Reduce stress and make relationships at work (and in life) more rewarding HOW THE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TRAINING ACTIVITY WORKS Emotional intelligence skills are critical to creating a positive work environment, in which productivity, staff well-being and morale can prosper. In this engaging activity, you'll show small teams of participants one of the 30 discussion cards (online or printed version). Each card poses an EI-related question that requires a response. Participants are asked to: Individual responses: Participants consider their own response and jot personal notes on a handout or notebook. The individual response allows for self-analysis and through trying to reach a team consensus, the card is shared and discussed. Group Concensus: Teams then discuss their answers within their small group and must agree on a team response. People learn from hearing viewpoints from others and having to give reasons to support their own. The activity is not in any way a test. Each member of the team has their own forms, so any notes participants make about themselves are strictly for their eyes only. Facilitators have many options for how they use the cards. The can shuffle the cards and move from question to question. Choose just the few prompts the prefer to discuss. See how many topics they can cover in the allotted time. 30 CARDS - 3 TYPES OF PROMPTS The 30 cards are broken into 3 categories. Each category has a different question and response format. Response Cards (10 cards) - these prompts pose a specific question for consideration. These cards might ask, for instance, What strong personal values influence your actions and decisions? Yes/No Cards (10 cards) - these ask a yes/no question, then prompt players to consider why they answered as they did. For instance, they might ask if you agree or disagree with a probing statement. Task Cards (10 cards) - these require to participants to consider the action they might take in a certain situation. For example, Consider how you might regulate your own emotions in a given situation. Together, the cards show how EI is about self-awareness, self-restraint, empathy, self-esteem and good social skills - and about regulating emotions rather than allowing them to take centre stage. After the debrief, there is a handout for individuals to take away, to use as a memory aid. PARTICIPANTS 3-24 (up to 4 teams of 3-6 per team) TIMING 1 hour + debrief LEARN MORE TRAINER/FACILITATOR ROLE Introduce the activity in plenary session. When using virtually, arrange the group into teams of 3-6 and install in breakout rooms.

Teams work through the cards one at a time. If time is limited, you may choose to omit certain cards - or give a time-guide of, for example, two minutes per card. Observe teams in action and collect any interesting interactions for the debrief. Halt proceedings after the hour and allow teams a few moments to reflect on the session. Lead a debrief in plenary to bring out the learning points. The Trainer’s Notes includes a commentary for every card. Finally, issue the Handout that summarizes the topic and gives tips for the future.

Dried snack foods such as apple chips are a convenient alternative to fresh fruit, providing longer shelf life and easier storage. Consumers increasingly demand product variety, so companies coat such snack foods with fruit and vegetable powders to enhance taste and sensory appeal. A new study from the University of Illinois explores the drying process of coated and uncoated apple chips using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to measure moisture content in real time. NIR technology greatly enhances the speed and accuracy of measurements, the researchers say. The purpose of coating is to make dried apple chips more functional and nutritional, as well as more appealing to eat, explains Ragya Kapoor, graduate student in Food Science and Human Nutrition (FSHN) at the University of Illinois. “The idea is to get school-aged children to include apple chips in their diet. We use a cranberry powder coating to make the apple slices more attractive in terms of colour and taste”, Kapoor says. “We dip the apple slices in a liquid-based solution for 60 seconds twice, and then conduct the hot air-drying operation.” The researchers check the moisture content at various points throughout the drying process with miniature NIR spectroscopy to ensure the chips are dry enough. NIR technology offers many advantages compared to standard monitoring techniques, says Mohammed Kamruzzaman, assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE). The team had two main research goals. They wanted to explore edible coating on apple slices and test the use of NIR spectroscopy to monitor the drying process for coated versus uncoated slices. “The moisture content is different for coated and uncoated samples, and we wanted to see how drying behaviour differs for them. We found that with NIR technology we are able to differentiate between the two samples based solely on the difference in their composition”, Kapoor explains.

The classic red and black buffalo check shirt has achieved iconic status in American outerwear, conjuring idyllic images of rugged men lumber jacking across the forests of Maine or thickets in the Pacific northwest. Originally designed by the long-standing American outdoor company Woolrich, in a small Pennsylvania town by the same name, the warm crisscross fabric pattern has been appropriated by urban goers as fashion and is widely popular across the world. So much so that a shirt from the company directly costs at least $100 while imitations are available on Amazon for as little as $7.00. It comes as no surprise, then that after running the mill since 1830 for nearly 200 years, Woolrich shuttered its final homegrown mill in Woolrich, PA in 2018. While the brand has been severed from its American manufacturing origins, it now floats as a luxury brand across the world. Drawing on company history and a series of interviews conducted with textile workers from this quintessential American company, we identify how this historic mill leveraged its glorious legacy into a brand that sold for 140 million dollars in recent times. Woolrich was established in 1830 by John Rich, an immigrant from England who travelled to local lumber camps selling woolen fabrics. By 1845, the enterprising Rich built a water hungry mill near a creek 200 miles west of New York City. In 1888, this fledgling township would later be renamed Woolrich. A coveted company town priding itself on high-quality fabric production, Woolrich mills supported generations of American workers and their families. The first 100 years of the firm are richly documented in this company history published in 1930. The decision to close the mill for good was finalized in 2018 after years of experimentation which tried to keep local production afloat, including attempts at diversification going as far back as 1860 when the company produced wool blankets for Union soldiers fighting in the American Civil War. So successful were these blankets that Woolrich would once again produce them for American military personnel during both World Wars. Shirts, pants, jackets, and caps made from yarn became coveted commodities that even members of the working class could afford as industrialization not only increased incomes, but also contributed to the clearer divisions between work time and leisure time. For every shift in American political economy, Woolrich set trends and catered to the public’s demand for textile accoutrements ranging from hunting gear like the classic “Pennsylvania tuxedo” to automobile robes for the booming driving culture resulting from the growth of American highways during the 1930s. In 1939, Woolrich even supplied all 1,296 wool garments to Admiral Byrd’s team for three unique expeditions to Antarctica which Byrd alludes to in his exploration diary published in 1930. By the mid-twentieth century, the company began producing for outdoor brands including Eddie Bauer, L. L. Bean, and Land’s End. Production for other private labels exceeded manufacturing for their own brand by the 1980s, when U.S. employment at the plant peaked. Meanwhile, sourcing agents from immensely profitable discounters like Kmart were increasingly searching for lower labor costs in Mexico and East Asia. Brands across the fashion industry were faced with the existential triple threat of discounting, outsourcing, and shareholder demands for immediate dividends. In 1984, the company maintained American manufacturing and partnered with WP Lavori in Corso to begin distributing products in Italy and the rest of Europe. By the nineties, the Woolrich mill lost profitability, and executives led by the Woolrich family pivoted toward the symbolic geography of American heritage. In 1998, WP Lavori purchased rights to design, produce, and distribute products under the Woolrich brand. Responding to WP Lavori’s acquisition of the brand, a former employee highlights how Americans and Europeans view historical legacies somewhat differently: “History — history — is what WP Lavori sold when they introduced the brand to Europe. So, they were selling heritage, American heritage more than history if you will. And that’s what made the brand standout.” While the American mill continued to operate after the licensing agreement with WP Lavori, the seeds of atrophy were sewn. At full capacity in 1988 with over 3,000 employees, the firm slashed half its work force by 1990 and shut six plants in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Nebraska between 1991-95. By 2016, the crew was whittled down to a bare bones staff of 45 individuals and faced a grim future. In 2016, the American Woolrich Inc. merged with Woolrich Europe to form Woolrich International. A final blow to the American manufacturing side of things came in 2018 with the complete shutdown of the mill and the majority stake being sold to L-Gam, a Luxembourg-based investment company established in partnership with the Princely Family of Liechtenstein. The Woolrich heritage brand was bought for 140 million dollars, suggesting that while the manufacturing origins and distribution networks of check shirts and blankets would change depending on global trends, the brand was classically chic and its longevity would shepherd it forward. The marketing line shifted from “Made in the USA Since 1830” to “American Soul Since 1830,” creating a sense of continuity with the company’s history while leaving behind explicit claims to American production.“The Original Outdoor Company”, despite its low points, had history, heritage, and nostalgia that could be leveraged in creative new ways. As scholars of business history, industrial sociology, and global textile production, we identify five phases of transition that Woolrich faced, and the path that led them to double-down on brand equity, one that derived strength from the entrepreneurial legacies of those that built the company over the decades. De-industrialization. Investments in physical assets were not renewed. Mill capacity diminished, manufacturing was devalued, and the skills of production were eventually lost to foreign manufacturers. Marketing. Despite the struggles of Made in USA, Woolrich saw profitable opportunities to license its brand with foreign buyers willing to pay a premium for an American heritage product. Domestic production dwindled and shifted from costly wearable garments to one-size fits-all promotional blankets with classic buffalo checks and other patterns. Divestment. Following the takeover by WP Lavori, the Italian licensee became more powerful than the original Woolrich, eventually buying out the brand itself. As a former manager noted, “the real true American brands are not many and they’re highly followed and regarded as a quality product… they command a higher price point… being an American brand, or at least perceived as an American brand now that the ownership is mostly European, is very important. We all agreed to that.” Production: Decline of Spatial Geography. Controlling partner L-Gam marked the final phase in the true globalization of the brand with plans to expand across Europe, North America, Japan, and China. Manufacturing centers and supply chains remain flexible, while the rhetoric of heritage remains key to the brand’s growth. After seven generations of ownership, the family no longer runs corporate affairs. Rebirth as Premium Global Brand. While Woolrich has four retail stores in the United States, their center of gravity has shifted overseas. There are 24 premium retail stores across Italy, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, and Austria. This decline of spatial geography is not limited to the United States. Evidence from across the world, especially in emerging economies, suggests that textile manufacturers are divesting from historic core competencies of heavy machine production and industrial organization to building brand equity and leveraging their own illustrious historical past to do so. Parallels to the Woolrich story are evident in India, the largest producer of cotton in the world. Arvind Mills, of the Lalbhai Group in Ahmedabad, is India’s largest denim manufacturer and one of Asia’s top exporters of jeans. Established in 1897, the firm led textile production during anti-colonial struggles of the 1930s and emerged as top-tier apparel manufacturer in the post-Independence period after 1947. By the 1980s, the CEO and Managing Director Sanjay Lalbhai also faced increasing competition from cheaper domestic manufacturing in India’s informal power loom sector, and decided to build brand equity. In a recent Harvard Business School interview conducted by Dr. Sudev Sheth for the Creating Emerging Markets project, Lalbhai explained the situation: “Arvind was at that time a 100% domestic company, making women’s fabrics, women’s blouse pieces, dress materials, and things like that. We were into all these domestic product categories. We were a very premium company. Our products were very well-known. Our brand was very well established. It had a history of success. It had excellent management. It had very good distribution. But these products started getting manufactured by the power loom at much lower prices and the distribution we had started buying from them, rather than us. It was quite obvious that we would die. I started realizing in the ‘90s that the most rewarding thing would be to make the final apparel and brand it because branding gives you that pricing power. Branding differentiates and once you build a brand, you can command a different pricing vis-à-vis the commodity.” While Arvind continues to produce fabrics, they are increasingly moving towards building a portfolio of brands, both international and homegrown. The strategy has been to divest themselves of manufacturing assets and mills, taking a distinctly asset light approach to maintain agility and move up the value chain. In addition, they are moving away from organic materials like cotton in favor of synthetic fabrics that are cheaper to produce and easily manipulated to achieved desired fabric quality. As major players have retreated from manufacturing, first-tier suppliers have absorbed former brand competencies. Not only manufacturing, but quality control and even garment design are now routinely expected from suppliers. What these studies have taught us is that brand equity is decreasingly tied to productive capacity. What matters at Woolrich is not being Made in America, but capitalizing on the symbolic geography of “Americana.” The authentic image of Americana derives from 187 years of local production, but the image has become more powerful than the fact. Indeed, Woolrich found greater success abroad than at home. In Italy and other parts of Europe, the symbolic geography of heritage at Woolrich was held in higher esteem than the physical geography of actual production. Across India today, many long-standing companies across industries, such as Arvind, Raymond, and Tata, are moving up the value chain into retail outlets. As companies strategize financial boom and bust cycles, our research demonstrates how history can be strategically leveraged to build global brand equity, especially in a world that no longer values small company towns, multi-generation mill workers, and costly fixed assets. Finally, moments of crisis such as the current pandemic are ideal times to leverage brand equity. Whether it is Woolrich licensing their name to foreign manufacturers amidst de-industrialization in the 1980s, outright selling their brand in recent years, or Arvind gradually moving away from physical assets to build brick-and-mortar stores across India, these companies demonstrate how historical legacies can be tapped to build truly global brands that can withstand uncertainty.

Transformation is the ultimate way we retain the wisdom of the past—we change the outer garment, but the values remain the same. – Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson Jewish Community Foundation / Constant Change A response to growing unrest worldwide, this year-end report examined how the tensions between tradition and innovation contribute to increased uncertainty in the world. Over a dozen prominent rabbis representing a broad spectrum of philosophical and religious points of view were asked to reflect on which of the two offered the greater protection against the turbulence of modern life. Typography, color and printing techniques were combined to create a feeling of flux. Each interview was paired with a ‘turning’ Star of David—an effect punctuated by the movement of shadows between the cut out forms and inner pages of the french fold binding. The headline treatments completed the design with the use of inverted typography to emphasize the counter debate.

If you’re worried about what you eat and how you look to your girl, you’re not alone. Luckily, many restaurants offer healthy options. You can even find healthy options on the menu by searching for words like grilled, broiled, or steamed. To stay healthy when eating out, stick with lean meats and season with salt at the table. Here’s how to do it. Exercise There are many reasons to be fit, including the fact that regular exercise relieves stress and improves mental health. Women who are stressed out, overwhelmed, or have other responsibilities rarely take the time to exercise. However, it is important for a woman to make fitness a priority from an early age and set aside at least 20 minutes a day for herself. Fortunately, there are many exercises that a woman can perform at home in the comfort of her own home. Meal prep There are many options when it comes to eating out. Most restaurants have some kind of healthy option for you to choose from. Some even list their calories so you don’t have to worry about choosing the wrong thing. If you are not able to find any healthy option at a restaurant, you can still find healthy options. If you’re unsure what kind of food to eat, search for the words grilled, broiled, or steamed. Try to stick with lean meats, and season your food with salt and pepper. Staying hydrated There are several reasons to stay hydrated. Exercising, especially in warm or humid climates, can dehydrate you. You can also experience dehydration when you are sick. Vomiting, diarrhea, urinary tract stones, and bladder infections are all common causes of dehydration. Additionally, pregnant and breast-feeding women need more fluids than regular people. But the best way to stay hydrated is to drink lots of water. Aside from water, you should drink plenty of other liquids as well. Avoid beverages with high sugar and sodium content. Rehydrate your body with more water after drinking dehydrating drinks. Aside from water, you can also include juices and sports drinks. A general rule of thumb is to drink at least 8 cups of water per day. Drinking sodas and sports drinks is not recommended, as they lack nutritional value. When dehydration happens, the body’s ability to perform can be affected. When a person loses two per cent of body weight, their performance will suffer. If it’s more than that, they will likely experience nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. And the body won’t adjust to dehydration without the right fluids. A girl at home needs to stay hydrated, but she doesn’t want to sacrifice her appearance. Getting enough water is important for any kind of activity. Even mild dehydration can affect your concentration and mood. Water is cheap and healthy, so drink up! As long as you drink at least eight glasses of water a day, you should feel good and fit. And drinking lots of water may actually reduce physical strain and stress. This way, you’ll get the most benefits of staying hydrated. Making her feel special If you want to make your girl feel special, you should show her you care by complimenting her. If you love her, you can say something sincere like, “You are as pretty on the inside as you are on the outside.” Other ways to show your girl that you care include taking her to her favorite restaurant or movie, or taking her to the movies she enjoys. She will love these gestures and know that you put thought and care into them.

We’ve started a new round of poetry classes at ORIS this time with teens from Uganda, Somali-Bantu from Kenya and the Middle East. From Christian and Islamic faiths. One new item we have that we didn’t have last time is a microphone and an amp. These kids are full of light, laughter and words and they couldn’t wait for their turn at the mic – although some were nervous once they got there. Standing at the mic with everyone looking at you, and hearing your voice amplified, you can suddenly feel very vulnerable. I told them that my first time at the mic was terrifying, but explained how important it was that I did it. Hive Poetry Project is a three part experience. The first part is writing, the second is reading and the third is listening. I teach that respectful listening as an audience member is just as important as reading at the mic. Vulnerability, humility, acceptance and respect are necessary for tapping into inspiration, churning out a good poem, growing as a writer and working well with a group. These kids get it and they do it with grace and laughter which are also necessary ingredients of the process. I can’t relate to the extraordinary experiences that brought them to this country but by listening and being heard we can all relate to each other. It’s so humbling and such an honor to work with them.
