John F. McDonnell was destined for a career in aerospace. Born in Baltimore in 1938, he is the son of McDonnell Aircraft founder James S. McDonnell. He holds a bachelor’s (1960) and a master’s (1962) degree in aeronautical engineering, both from Princeton University. McDonnell received an honorary doctor of science degree in 2006. Also an alumnus of the John M. Olin School of Business, McDonnell had a distinguished career of more than 35 years with McDonnell Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas Corp., starting in engineering and retiring in 1997 as chairman of the board. He led the company successfully through the early 1990s when the U.S. defense budget and the aerospace markets were shrinking dramatically. In the face of a rapidly consolidating aerospace industry, he oversaw the 1997 merger of McDonnell Douglas with Boeing to create the world’s largest aerospace company. Serving the Washington University in St. Louis community While McDonnell has left his mark on the aerospace world, he has also made significant contributions to Washington University. Now a Life Trustee, McDonnell was first elected a Washington University trustee in 1976. After holding various board leadership positions, he was elected chairman of the board in 1999 . In 2004, he was elected to his current position as vice chairman and he now chairs the board’s Development Committee. McDonnell also served as chairman of the leadership phase of the Campaign for Washington University . When the campaign was publicly announced in September 1998, $541 million already had been received or committed. The campaign ended June 30, 2004, with $1.55 billion in gifts and commitments, well beyond the stated goals. A founding member in 1997 of Washington University’s International Advisory Council for Asia, he is also an Advisory Committee member for the newly formed McDonnell International Scholars Academy. He, along with the JSM Charitable Trust, provided the naming gift for this global education and research initiative partnering Washington University with top foreign universities and leading multinational corporations.

Glaucoma is a disease that affects the optic nerve, the part of the eye which receives images collected by the retina and sends them to the brain. Every eye maintains a certain amount of internal pressure, called intraocular pressure. When this pressure rises to abnormal levels however, it can put extra stress on the optic nerve, causing significant damage. Optic nerve damage results in loss of vision, and ultimately blindness. The front of the eye is constantly producing a fluid called aqueous humor. A healthy eye will continually produce small amounts of aqueous humor to ensure consistent pressure within the eye. When normal drainage becomes slowed or blocked, pressure increases, and may lead to glaucoma. There are several different types of glaucoma the two most common types being chronic open-angle glaucoma and closed-angle glaucoma. Chronic open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of the disease and usually develops with age. With this type of glaucoma, pressure gradually increases around the eye causing it to work less effectively over a period of time. There are no symptoms in the early stages of open-angle glaucoma. Peripheral vision is usually the first to deteriorate. As the disease becomes more advanced, blank spots begin to appear in one’s vision. If left untreated, it eventually develops to blindness. The best way to avoid serious vision loss is early diagnosis and treatment. Risk factors for chronic open-angle glaucoma include: Advanced age. Family history of the disease. Higher-than-normal intraocular pressure. Certain ethnic races, particularly those of African descent. Certain diseases or conditions, especially diabetes, farsightedness or nearsightedness, or previous eye trauma or surgery. Closed-angle glaucoma is less prevalent, but is considered a real eye emergency. This type of glaucoma occurs when a patient’s pupil moves or dilates and actually blocks off the drainage angles in the eye. This is considered a medical emergency in which an ophthalmologist should be contacted immediately to avoid any loss of vision. Symptoms of closed-angle glaucoma include: Severe eye pain. Headache. Blurred vision. Nausea or vomiting. Rainbow halos around lights. High risk factors for closed-angle glaucoma include: Extreme farsightedness. An iris that is abnormally large or far back in the eye. Advanced age. Heredity. Certain ethnic races, especially Asians. Treatments for glaucoma: There are a wide range of treatments for the disease, including medication, laser surgery and traditional surgery. The treatment (or combination of treatments) for an individual is chosen based upon the type of glaucoma and other details of the particular case. One option is medication such as prescription eye drops which help to reduce intraocular pressure, or pills called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors which slow down fluid production within the eye. Laser surgery has also become a common treatment option for glaucoma. For open-angle glaucoma the doctor may choose a trabeculoplasty, a painless laser procedure which uses light to shrink and stretch eye tissue to allow more drainage of fluid. For closed-angle cases, in which the iris is blocking drainage of aqueous humor, a laser surgery called iridotomy may be preformed. Other glaucoma treatment options involve various traditional surgeries. A common surgery for open-angle glaucoma is the trabeculectomy, where a doctor creates a small flap in the sclera (white part of the eye). Underneath the surface of the sclera, the doctor creates a small reservoir, called a filtration bleb, into which aqueous fluid may drain and then be disbursed, further reducing intraocular pressure. There are a number of treatments available for Glaucoma patients. If diagnosed with glaucoma, your ophthalmologist will consult with you on your options in order to maintain the best possible health of your eyes. If you are experiencing any symptoms of glaucoma, we encourage you to contact us today to schedule a consultation.

The final bookstore stop during our trip to Oregon was Powell's Books on Hawthorne. This is one of the “smaller” Powell's at only 10,000 square feet. I, of course, bought some books: Golden Hill by Francis Spufford – We heard the author being interviewed on the radio was we drove to the bookstore. The system works!

Last month, EA announced an intention to bring Command & Conquer back in the form of remasters, rather than the mobile endeavor the company showed off at E3 earlier this year. Far quicker than anyone thought, EA is seemingly ready to announce exactly what it has been cooking up, today announcing remasters for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Command & Conquer: Red Alert, with all the expansions in tow. Tiberian Dawn is the working title for what was simply released as Command & Conquer, the original 1995 PC game from Westwood Studios. It makes a lot of sense for the first game in the series to be chosen, but EA have also heard from the community that Red Alert is a more well-loved game, so that is also getting the remaster treatment. "We have decided to remaster Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn," creative director Jim Vessella writes in a blog post for the announcement. "And while this is incredibly exciting on its own, we’re also aware of how passionate the community is about the Red Alert universe. So, we will also remaster the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert. But what about the classic expansion packs you may ask – Covert Ops, Counterstrike, and Aftermath? Well, C&C and Red Alert wouldn’t be the same without them, so all three expansion packs will be bundled with the base games into one remastered collection – without microtransactions." Additionally, EA is contracting Nevada developer Petroglyph Games for the remaster, a studio made up of former Westwood staff that got together when EA shut Westwood down in 2003 to assimilate into EA Lost Angeles, which is now called DICE Los Angeles. Basically what this means is that the two remastered games will be made by many of the developers who worked on the titles originally. "Joe Bostic is known as the co-creator of C&C, having also served as the Lead Programmer on Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert. Steve Tall joined Joe as a Lead Programmer on Red Alert, and Mike Legg contributed to all forms of audio systems at Westwood, having been an employee since 1986! All three members helped start Petroglyph Games in 2003 after the closure of Westwood and are joined by a veteran group of RTS developers from the past 15+ years. And don’t think we haven’t noticed the #1 request from the community in all the comments from the past month... You want Frank Klepacki. So as a cherry on top for the fans, we are thrilled to announce that Frank will be re-joining Petroglyph Games to be our Composer and Audio Director for the remaster collection!" EA notes that the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection has yet to even start development, so it might be some time before we see anything from this, but they do seem to be handling it appropriately for a company that was once stringently against remasters of any kind.

Welcome to the season of Advent. Advent is a time of preparation. We are asked to remember the time before the birth of Christ and, like the people of that time, to prepare ourselves with great anticipation for the coming of the Messiah. Like other Christian traditions, Catholics are taught that Christ will one day return and so during Advent we not only prepare ourselves to celebrate the historical event of the birth of our Savior, but we also prepare ourselves for His eventual coming again. During this Advent season, I pray that we each are touched more fully with the presence of God in our lives and recognize the tremendous miracle and blessing of Christmas. Our next All-School Mass will be on Monday, December 9 at 9:30 am in the Centennial Complex. All are welcome. Exam Preparation – By the time you read this newsletter, there will be just a few class days left before mid-term exams. Just like Advent, which allows many days for preparation, I encourage everyone to take plenty of time to prepare for these exams. Teens often feel a ‘cram session’ the night before an exam is all that is necessary, but taking time over a number of days to prepare will yield better results not only on these exams, but also in learning this habit for future exams in high school and beyond. Exam Schedule and Information – Exams are scheduled for Tuesday through Friday, December 17-20. The actual exam schedule is attached to this newsletter. Students are only required to be at school for a scheduled exam. There will be a study area in the IC available if students want or need to stay at school when they are not taking an actual exam. There will also be food available in the café or students may leave for lunch. The Port Arthur and Orange buses will still run – please refer to the attached exam schedule for times. Monday, December 16 will be an Early Dismissal at 12:25 pm. Please make arrangements for your child to be picked up as soon as possible. No lunch will be served. Staff will gather for our holiday luncheon off campus and then teachers will be making final preparations for exams. The Port Arthur bus will return students to St. Catherine around 1:15 pm. Christmas Break is December 23 through January 3. Classes resume on Monday, January 6 and it will be a Blue day. Students will report to homeroom that morning to receive their 2nd semester schedule. Although the schedule of many students will remain unchanged, many others will change due to a variety of reasons. Vaping continues to be a major challenge for schools all over our country. Although I believe our students understand intellectually the dangers of vaping, they are certainly not immune to the marketing efforts of companies or to the perceived cultural attitude that vaping is somehow ‘not a big deal’. I encourage every parent to be on the lookout for signs of vaping by your child. We treat incidents of vaping as a disciplinary incident and, if a student is caught vaping at school or during a school event, consequences will follow. Below is a link to a recent article about vaping and teens: After the New Year, we will begin the re-registration process for the 2020-21 school year. This will involve going to a computer link the school will provide, confirming or updating the information we currently have on file, and resubmitting that information along with the re-enrollment fee. Please be watching for further information. We continue to work on repairs to the school after Imelda. Much of the wall repairs and painting has been completed. Hopefully most, if not all, of the flooring in the offices and classrooms will be installed over the Christmas break. We are waiting for approval from the Insurance Company and the Diocese to begin replacing various furnishings damaged during the flood. Take time during this Advent Season for prayer and meditation. All the distractions, turmoil, and busyness as we approach Christmas can make quiet time and preparing ourselves difficult. Have a wonderful, blessed Advent and a most holy Christmas.

This direction mainly focuses on how to design a special structured light field, how the light propagates in space, and how to use such structured light field to make micro-nano structure photonic lattices in glass or nonlinear crystals. The light field and photon lattice images we designed or fabricated in the experiment are shown below. Fig. 1. (a). Fabrication of periodic light field and corresponding photonic lattice in nonlinear crystal using digital holography technology. We fabricated (1) octagonal and dodecagonal light field and corresponding photonic lattices, and studied the phenomena of nonlinear transmission and pseudo-spin of such trutured light fields [Optical Materials Express, 2018, 8(9): 2713-2721]; (2) Arrays of Airy, Bessel and Vortex light field were designed, and the corresponding complex photonic lattice was fabricated by using the digital holography and photorefractive nonlinear effect, as shown in Figure 1[Optics Communications, 2016, 363: 85-90] . The article was selected by Anna Peacock, editor of Optics Communications, a classic journal in the field of optics, to be highlighted and nominated in early December 2017, and provided a three-month free promotional visit. (3) We fabricated two-dimensional photoinduced photonic lattices in iron-doped lithium niobate (LiNbO3:Fe) crystals based on nonlinear effects using the interference method, and observed the soliton and spectrum in such photonic lattice [Applied Physics Letters, 2007, 91(13): 131111]. (b). Surface mode in curved photonic lattice The part of work was done in Professor Yuri Kivshar 's group at the Australian National University. We design a cosine-shaped curved waveguide with a period of 14 μm and an amplitude from 21.5 μm to 24.5 μm. Such waveguide arrays was fabricated in a 50 mm long lithium niobate crystal sheet with a high-temperature titanium diffusion process, as shown in Figure 2 . Except the surface defect, such a structure is modulated periodically in the z direction, such structure can be used to support the surface modes and can also be used to achieve the dynamic location. Related work was published in Optics Letters, 2009, 34(18): 2751-2753, Optics Letters, 2010, 35(9) : 1371-1373, Photonics and and Applications, 2010, 8(2): 62-66. Fig. 2.

Crypto module from nodejs is essential to make cryptocurrency wallet. I wanted to use this library which enables you to use node crypto module in RN. However, the library uses native component for random bytes generation so that I can't use it without detaching the project. It would be helpful to have api for random bytes generation as well as other reimplementations of node crypto module. May 9, 2017 Activity Newest Oldest Naiem Yeganeh For people who need crypto libraries in their expo project, good news is V33 has expo-random to generate keys. Once you have a random key anything else is still hard to do. We are using crypto-js for many tasks. And very painstakingly we have forked many crypto libraries and their dependencies and have ported them to use crypto-js. If you look at our github repo you can probably find a bunch of libraries that do the job, and can be directly used in an expo project.

Having randomBytes from expo-random and using nacl.setPRNG for generating signing key pair we have the whole spectrum of cryptographic primitives covered. For encryption keys and symmetric keys do not even need to use nacl.setPRNG. The only thing that makes using randomBytes from expo-random with nacl.js a bit less convenient is that randomBytes from expo is async.

Like a bunch of grapes, this cluster of dangling beads bounces around under your ears! It’s a really easy one to make as well, with just two types of beads – 2mm seed beads and 6mm pearl beads. The beaded earrings are strung together using .3mm copper wire, and hang from a silver earring hook. Besides these basic materials, all you need is a pair o scissors to cut the wire. To explain isn’t really necessary, except to say that you cut 10 lengths of wire, and string one bead for the end-bead on them, then double your wire back. Then you put a pearl bead and 10 seed beads over both wires as well. Then you cut the ends so they’re even and twist them together with enough room left to add an earring hook at the top. You can click on the image to make it bigger. And you can visit Elegant Jewelry Beads and Accessories for more information on this Simple Beaded Cluster Earrings tutorial here.

Children listen to a school teacher after the reopening of Mahamane Fondogoumo elementary school in the town center of Timbuktu, Mali, February 1, 2013. Share Mali Conflict Disrupts Schooling for 700,000 Children share Print On-going fighting has disrupted education for hundreds of thousands of school children in both the north and south of Mali. UNICEF as well as educational authorities there report that some 700,000 children are affected, with 200,000 of those left with no access to school at all. UNICEF says schools in the north have been closed and looted, and many teachers have failed to return. In the south, schools have become so overcrowded teachers are not able to handle the influx of displaced students from the north. “At this point there have been more than 115 schools that have been closed or destroyed or looted. One of the other problems that we are facing is that many teachers are still scared to go back to the northern part of the country. And in the southern part, we have already overcrowded schools that have to cope with the influx of displaced students from the north,” explained Laurent Duvillier, UNICEF spokesperson for West and Central Africa. He added this is an extra burden on the teachers and infrastructure. He explained that in the north only one out of three schools is functioning, and in Kidal, all schools are closed. “That means that a child in Kidal at this stage has no opportunity to get access to education. So that’s extremely concerning, “ said Duvillier. He said his organization is working to provide educational materials to school children and teachers. “UNICEF is moving forward first with the distribution of school kits and teaching materials to the teachers and the schools in the southern part of the country, closer to the northern part of the country,” he said. Duvillier also said they have access to Mopti in the central part of the country. “So the teachers and the school kids have arrived in Mopti, and we’ll soon be distributing in the northern part of the country, together with our partners and local NGOs,” explained Duvillier. For those schools that have been destroyed or looted, central learning spaces are being set up under tents where children can learn and play in a safe environment.

An overdose topples without being shrill, it retracts consciousness by inciting too much of it. The drugs or habits used to achieve it work by making the body so superfluous to its own pleasure that it defers to astral consciousness or none at all. The best hedonists use this double excess to their advantage by offering as much pleasure as they seek until getting over is inevitable, willed. In 1972 James Brown delivered a soulful and supplicating public service announcement in the form of a song he called “King Heroin” which chronicled the disgraced narcotic from its import to its catastrophic effect on individual lives as it coaxed countless people to overdose. He personifies the drug, giving it a monolog that opens I came to this country without a passport, and ever since then I’ve been hunted and sought. Heroin becomes the foil to black Americans, also smuggled here and hunted, also used like an addictive pastime for a society with little soul. (Kevin Christy illustration) Brown’s heartfelt and almost tortured intervention lands somewhere between proto-rap and after school special, and then transcends both of those registers and becomes a mirroring or soliloquy where he projects some of his own turmoil onto a wish for collective healing. The substance is more alive than its users in Brown’s estimation. Heroin boasts, I can make a man forsake his country and flag, make a girl sell her body for a five dollar bag. Then the narcotic coaxes addicts to keep going until they’re jailed or dead: I’ll be waiting at the gate, sure my name is heroin, and you’ll be back for a taste. On the fade out Brown whispers this a revolution of the mind, get your mind together, and get away from drugs. This is a poem recorded over a sloping grove that never quite gets over itself and mimics the experience of using the drug it animates. Low moaning horns gain some momentum, but the beat’s agenda overrides their edging by refusing to let up. The horn section begins to sound desperate and dejected a couple of minutes in, incapable of accessing the pitch of triumph but also unable to stop trying. Detached exasperation and direct moralizing give the song a hip ambivalence. Listeners are exhorted to refrain from drug use, but the music itself mimics the effect of being high and reluctantly coming down, then spiraling down, then narrowly escaping rock bottom by getting high again. It could be an advertisement for what it despises, everything didactic runs this risk. This is the music of a man who feels like his people have been abandoned and systematically weakened; he has witnessed militants and musical geniuses turn into junkies, and even though though he knows he can’t save them all, he wants to leave an audible trace of what happened so that it cannot be erased by the ghosts of the future. The way addicts turn to heroin to dull their pain, James Brown uses this poem-as-song to alleviate some of the pain he’s experiencing as he watches soul after soul snatched by dependency on what kills them. Unlike “Say it Loud,” (1968) “King Heroin” would not become a party song or radical anthem. Instead it’s a shadow’s theme, to be uncovered as evidence of what was happening between protests and festivals, when no one was looking or in the places where few dared to look for fear of what they knew was there and didn’t want to discuss. Brown leaves “King Heroin” for us like a trace or B-side to an era equal parts empowerment and genocide. In the late 1990s or early 2000s, hip hop producer James Dewitt Yancey, J Dilla to his fans, sampled James Brown’s “King Heroin” and called the resulting beat “Heroin Joint.” The speed is doubled as if it’s a fast forwarding movie scene, and Dilla layers his own rhythmic improvisation over the original’s doleful horns, slurs them, lets them languish and recur in a loop, and then closes by slowing the track back down to its original speed which has the effect of conflating past and future, making the original sound like it’s what comes next. Such is the power and danger of looping when done by its best practitioners. It frees you by trapping you outside of and in between formalized time and the quantum leaps it makes possible are omni-directional. You can revisit trauma as easily as you can leap beyond it to a new adventure. Time is at Dilla’s mercy on “Heroin Joint” and succumbs to his mood, between sulking and bucking what worries him. James Brown outlived J Dilla by a few months but both men died in 2006, both sharing the tones in this poem-song like friends might pass one another spliff or run together in an open field for no apparent reason, chasing the same horizon. Dilla’s version doesn’t come with words, and the acceleration should make it more playful, but has the effect of adding the melancholy of a withheld secret or confession retracting itself right as it seems ripe and ready to divulge, being chased back into a coiled stupor. Both songs seem to look for solace, and even offer some, but Dilla’s version is aloof and you might miss the comfort it offers because it also chases you away with the same rhythm it uses to lure you in. By the 2000s, drug use was blasé, many would-be greats have fallen to it or been through it and come out on the other side, and the casualties and the causal tease of street drugs available on every corner were inevitable. Where James Brown is acrimonious, James Yancey revels and surrenders quietly to the idea of opiates, of something that can swoop in and rescue or distract you from your own suffering. And J Dilla makes it swing until you want whatever he is using to override time with space and motion. His catatonia in the face of his swinging, somewhere between apathy and awakening, is louder than James Brown’s speech, because in it there’s an ecstatic hopelessness that whispers we’re just gonna ride this beat, conditions are too dire for revolutionary pleas. I love this fragmented, morphine driven genealogy, these cousin hymns, one exhorting minds and spirits to rise up and heal, the next retreating into a slice of broken dream and making it grin gently and wave a slow goodbye to paternalistic idealism so it can enjoy its inherited trauma in peace. Neither man was wrong. Dilla makes addiction sound friendly and benevolent; James Brown answers with severity and charm— of course the angel of death is friendly.

Solar power is still hot news all over the Grand Strand! Cool Cat checking in to bring you the latest buzz on solar energy. What’s so cooooool about harnessing power from the hot sun? You conserve (and generate) energy, save on utility bills and get local tax credits or rebates. You get to reduce your costs and your carbon footprint at the same time. Now, that’s coooool! Solar System Rebates Carolina Cool is certified to get your new solar system set up and running, and help you get set up for your rebates from Santee Cooper. How much cabbage can you get from this rebate? Depending on the size of your rooftop solar system, you can score $1.30 per watt for up to 6,000 watts – total cap of up to $7,800.00 in rebates. That’s no small change there. Check it out! Even better, if your system generates more energy than you need, you can set it up for that extra to flow back to Santee Cooper’s energy grid and you score credits on your bill for that extra energy. Solar Power in the News If you peruse the news like Cool Cat, you might have heard some changes going on in the solar energy space. Tariffs on imported solar system cells and modules that started in February of 2018 have shaken things up a bit in the solar power industry. The good news is that many companies have production plans in place to increase production of these parts and components within the U.S. If you and your solar system provider choose parts subject to the tariff, when added to new tariffs on steel and aluminum, the average rooftop solar power system might see a price increase of between 2-5%. The price for rooftop solar systems has come down in recent years so it’s best to talk with one of the solar pros at Carolina Cool to find out if these changes will impact you. Recently released info from 2017 showed good progress. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that 32% of all new electricity generating capacity in the U.S. in 2017 came from solar power. And even coooooler, the greatest percentage of new solar power system installations in 2017 happened in the Southeast part of the U.S. (33%). That’s us! We still have a long way to go harnessing the power of that sweet golden sunlight for more people all over the Grand Strand. When you’re ready to get your plans together to go solar, call the cats at Carolina Cool! They can set you up with everything you need for your solar power system, and to collect all the rebates and credits possible for your new environmentally-sound investment. That’s coooool!

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said it planned to allocate a $36 million loan to Armenia to support economic reforms in the ex-Soviet country under the Fund’s three-year stand-by arrangement. The loan will be available after an IMF board meeting in mid-May. The Fund’s total disbursements under the programme will be about $430 million. The Fund said that the regional and global spillovers from the Russia-Ukraine conflict weigh on the outlook and would inevitably have a notable impact on Armenia. The wide-ranging sanctions on Russia, higher food and fuel prices, lower remittances, increased global financial market volatility, are expected to widen the current account deficit, lead to a pickup in inflation, and reduce economic growth in the coming months. “While there is considerable uncertainty about the magnitude of the impact on Armenia, as the situation is still evolving, our preliminary assessment is that the economy could grow at around 1.5 percent in 2022—a much slower pace than previously expected,” the IMF said in a statement. Armenia’s economy has expanded by 5.7 percent last year, backed by a rise in prices for commodities on world markets, growth in agriculture and robust tax collections figures. The country’s economic activity index grew by 5.8 percent year-on-year, supported by the growth in almost all sectors of the economy. The government projects 7 percent economic growth this year. The central bank downgraded its own economic growth projection to 1.6 percent from a previous forecast of 5.3 percent. The Fund said that to mitigate adverse economic spillovers to Armenia, the authorities should continue to allow the exchange rate to function as a key shock absorber and adjust monetary policy to contain any second-round effects of higher imported inflation and supply-side disruptions while considering the evolving assessment of the outlook. The IMF said that beyond the near-term, it is critical to maintain strong policy and reform efforts. “This includes improving the medium-term fiscal framework and placing government debt on a declining path in line with fiscal rules; reducing inflation towards the central bank’s target of 4 percent, safeguarding financial stability and delivering sustained, green, and inclusive growth,” it said. The World Bank projects Armenia’s growth at 4.8 percent in 2022. The bank said in January that economic growth in Armenia was expected to accelerate in 2023, as robust private consumption and a more stable investment climate supported domestic demand and offset the drag from ongoing fiscal consolidation. The forecast is predicated on an easing of geopolitical tensions, limited pandemic-related disruptions supported by progress with vaccinations, and improving consumer and business confidence. Weighing on the outlook are legacy structural issues and weaker oil prices in Azerbaijan, as well as challenges with reform implementation in Armenia.

Max has been limping when he's gotten off the bus at his school in the morning. His teacher mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. I thought that maybe we weren't putting his braces on correctly, which has happened a couple of times—his heel hasn't been all the way in. So we've made sure they're on right but still, he was limping on occasion. We have a visit to the orthopedist scheduled for next week, and I was going to discuss it with him. Max's teacher emailed me again yesterday to say he limped after he got off the bus. She suggested that his physical therapist at school take a look at his bus seating. Usually, I just help him up the stairs of the bus, and the aide walks him back and seats him. The PT called me this morning. "Max's legs are squished like a frog's on the bus," were her exact words. Somehow, he was sitting with his legs on either side of the booster seat (which was too small for him), knees raised, feet on the actual bus seat. What his PT said next was even more upsetting: Max wasn't seated safely. There was a five-point harness that wasn't clicked on its lower half, because it was too tight. The aide had also placed two different seat belts over him, in an "X." If there were ever an accident and Max was thrown forward on impact, his PT said, his throat and chest area might have hit the place where the straps met and gotten hurt. I was distraught. Both because Max had been in discomfort all these weeks, and because I'd never thought to see exactly how he was strapped in. Max is not a kid who would speak up and say, "This is not comfortable." He just tolerated it. We have generally been lucky, and happy, with this bus company. The driver is competent, unlike some of the creepy ones I wrote about over the summer who did stuff like leave kids on boiling-hot buses. But this situation was unacceptable. Max? In discomfort? And unsafe on the road? Whoa. I called our school district coordinator, the transportation coordinator, and the bus company. They were all duly horrified. Max will be getting a bigger booster seat; he needs some support because if he were to just have a seatbelt strapped over him, he would slump to one side. I expressed concern about the judgment of the aide on the bus. She is totally sweet, but clearly not totally with it. The bus company supervisor is at fault, too, for not being more on top of training aides about safe seating procedures or doing occasional checks, which I don't think is too much to ask for. This is a lesson to anyone who puts a child on a bus: Check to make sure they are properly strapped in. Although I don't think I would have known that the double seat-belting was unsafe if the PT hadn't mentioned it. OK, the situation has been dealt with. Max is fine, and the only thing bugging him is that he'd much prefer to ride an "ih us" [big bus] instead of the mini one he's on. But right now, I feel so helpless. Of course, I do my best to watch over Max, and I know it. I'm generally adept at heading off problems and quickly handling ones that crop up. Yet clearly there are things that can escape my attention, and tonight I am feeling the weight of those unknowns. UPDATE: Ok, now I am LIVID: The bus company DID NOT CHANGE HIS SEAT. When I called over there, a woman said "Why are you upset?" Um, lady? My son was seated in a way that was both unsafe and uncomfortable for weeks, without my knowing. Perhaps you too would be A LITTLE UPSET? Our district coordinator is on it. UPDATE 2: New booster seat installed for his ride home and inspected by head of PT department at his school. Max is comfortable and secure. Phew. On to the next drama! Photo/Todd Klassy Ellen Seidman at 12:09 AM 26 comments: Shasta October 20, 2011 at 12:26 AM I totally get that feeling. You know you're doing the best you can, but you still feel guilty that you haven't thought of everything and your kid suffered because of it. You did what you were supposed to, though, and now Max will be safe, comfortable and happy once more. Don't be too hard on yourself.

After Little Bird swims at school, I know they don't put her braces on perfectly.

ReplyDelete Replies Reply Julia O'C October 20, 2011 at 8:54 AM This has happened to us so many times that I follow Emmett onto his bus and either take care of the seat belts myself or supervise the aide. Yeah, I'm that mom. And you know what? I DON'T CARE. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous October 20, 2011 at 9:13 AM Ellen - I know how you feel. I am constantly thinking about T-man's well-being and wondering whether he is okay and happy and comfortable. It makes it even harder because he is non-verbal. I have some guilt about certain things, but I do my best to make his life happy. and I have to say, T-man has the most wonderful people that take care of him at his school, including his busdriver, whom I adore. They watch out for him too and for that I am grateful. thanks - you are a wonderful mom to Max and very inspiring. Kristen ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous October 20, 2011 at 10:02 AM The school bus (long or short) tends to be the black hole of craziness. I once called our school transportation coordinator to report that the substitute bus driver (who was going to be covering our route for a few months) didn't give SB time to put her seatbelt on before zooming down the (winding) road. The answer? "Well, the kids aren't required by law to wear seat belts. NY law requires that we have them, but not that the kids put them on." Umm... really? I'm the mom who STOOD IN FRONT OF THE BUS TO PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM GOING until her seatbelt was on. He eventually got the hint....

ReplyDelete Replies Reply Cara Liebowitz October 20, 2011 at 10:24 AM I rode the "short bus" all throughout school because it would've been unsafe for me to walk to and from the bus stop, especially in bad weather. CP pride, woot! Anyway, the drivers and aides on the short bus DO NOT CARE. AT ALL. ABOUT ANYTHING. They think just because they're driving the disabled kids, they can get away with anything. I had buses simply not show up or show up ridiculously late on a regular basis and almost never got an apology. Random kids would appear and disappear on our bus sometimes, be there one day and not there the rest of the year, and no one would ever tell us who the kid was or what he was doing there. I had one driver who not only drove ridiculously fast, he was ON HIS CELL PHONE while driving. I was absolutely terrified. I had aides who interpreted their time on the bus as naptime. My mom was on the phone with the bus company at least once a week complaining. It is sad and despicable what happens on the short bus, and I'm saying this from an inside perspective. Frankly, I am saddened and disappointed by what happened with Max, but not surprised. I can picture the same thing happening on my short bus.

Last year the district wanted to send the busing to a independent company and parents fought against it because our drivers are great, many having been there since I was a kid and being a small community we know each other and are neighbors.

I have something on my communication device that says "Please tighten the belt, thank you." Because I'll go backwards when the belt is not on right. I sit in my chair on an accessible bus (a city bus not a school bus) but it's the same idea. The driver has to do all the ties down right. Sometimes I just ignore it because they do it so much that I have had enough with complaining. But if it's really bad I tell them.

Cheaper for me to do it myself--safer, too, apparently. If I were putting my kids on the bus, I'd "do a Julia" too. I don't blame you for being pissed off, Ellen.

He rides a different bus with a different aide and driver home in the afternoon. I have never gotten on the bus to check it because he is always getting off when I go out to get him.

ReplyDelete Replies Reply Ellen Seidman October 20, 2011 at 10:36 PM Ah, Sarah, I am sorry you are going through this too, and I was bummed to hear about other people's experiences here. I lost it when I spoke with our district coordinator after the woman at the transportation department said, "Why are you so upset?" Dani, yes, like you I'm a detective. Like Julia, I'm THAT mom. And onemomstips, yes, I am the watch dog once again. In this case, though, there is no reason I should be that watch dog. I am going to be sending a very strongly worded letter to the transportation company and ask how they plan to put systems into place to check that aides are securely fastening kids in, because I am 99.9% sure that Max wasn't the only kid being buckled in wrong. At least it didn't take something terrible for us to figure that out. There need to be some official regulations in place (ideally, actual laws!) so, as anon so well put it, a school bus is not "the black hole of craziness" or the kind of experience Spaz Girl had growing up. I was talking with a friend today about bus insanity when we were kids. Nobody cared if you wore seatbelts and we'd bounce along the aisles and practically hang out the windows as the bus sped along. But we were typical kids. If something wasn't right, we could speak up. Max wouldn't think to—even, Tooner, if I programmed it into his iPad. He just accepts the discomfort. If he was in real pain, obviously, he would have just cried.

The bus folks were using a standard car seat for her, even though she was well over the height/weight limits for the seat. 2) A student at my school used a w/c and his class was going on a field trip. The teacher was going to request a bus with a w/c lift. Uh, NO! His chair has no head rest AND it is not transport approved. He ended up in a "race car driver seat belt" (aka EZ on Vest) that neither the aide or driver knew how to install or use.

The first thing you might be wondering is what does "CONGANAS" mean? As a kid, I remember my mom and abuelita telling me to do my chores, eat my food, or anything else I was told to do but to do it con ganas. Often the infamous "chancla" wasn't too far behind but none the less I was to do it "con ganas mijo!" Loosely translated con ganas means to do something with enthusiasm or act with liveliness. I add to it further and feel when accomplishing a task or action with want or with passion is doing it con ganas. This is how I live and operate and it is how I work and partner with clients. Starting and running a business can be overwhelming, most small or micro business owners start with little to no staff or assistance. Having a clear plan, an effective strategy to meet or exceed your goals is critical to your success. That is where CONGANAS can assist by collaborating with you to untangle the myriad of items you need to understand, determine and implement to be successful. My Story I was born in the beautiful city of Monterrey, Mexico. I came to the United States as a baby and settled down in Humble, TX attending and graduating from Humble High School. Two weeks after graduation I stepped onto the yellow footprints at Marine Corp Recruit Depot in San Diego, California where I embarked on my four year enlistment in the United States Marines. I served as a machine gunner in an infantry unit (1986-1990) and was honorably discharged in 1990. It is during my enlistment that I became a naturalized U.S. citizen, one of my proudest moments. Upon re-entry to the civilian world, and with assistance from the GI Bill, I enrolled at what is now known as Lone Star College. Eventually, I transferred to Sam Houston State University where I graduated in 1995 with a B.A. degree in Criminal Justice. ​ I attribute my customer service etiquette and business astuteness to the 17 years in the banking industry, and the almost 5 years as the Executive Director for the Lone Star College-Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Combined I have over 20 years of partnering with hundreds of small and micro businesses, empowering them to start, grow or expand their business ventures. I have been involved in and served in leadership roles with numerous non-profit organizations throughout my years in The Woodlands, where I have resided since 1994. Community Service Giving back and being involved in the community is important and personal to me. I am currently involved with the following organizations; The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce (board member 2021-2024), The Waterway Arts Festival (Art Dash Committee 2022), The Lake Conroe/Conroe Chamber of Commerce (Professional Business Development Committee, 2022), Education for Tomorrows Alliance (Career Day, 2022), served as MC for the entertainment stage at the Waterway Arts Festival (2022), served as MC for the South County 4th of July Parade (2022). ​ I have been a part in some capacity with the organizations below over the years: Acres Home Chamber of Commerce - SHSU Alumni Board - The Woodlands Warriors - Montgomery County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce - City of Shenandoah Industrial Development Corporation - South County Community Clinic - Montgomery County March of Dimes - South County YMCA - The Woodlands Lions Club - Education for Tomorrow’s Alliance - Distinguished Alumni Humble ISD (class of 1986)

In a previous lesson we alluded to "literal text" in programming. By this we meant text in a program that is always taken on face value; verbatim as it stands. Taken literally by the computer with no further processing. Text such as this in programming is often referred to as a string. Note the key element here is what the computer outputs in response to print(2+2) and print("2+2"). The former yields 4, the latter yields 2+2. Do you know why? A string is programming is a "string" (or sequence, series, succession) of characters, tacked together, to form a word or a sentence. A string is usually enclosed in double or single quotes. The double (or single) quotes are special, as they tell the computer to not evaluate or interpret what's inside of the quotes in any way...just take it as it stands. This is the nature of a string. This lesson will show you what it means to "add" two string together, often called "concatenation." The concatenation operator is two dots put together like this: ... string1 .. string2 Move the mouse over a dotted box for more information. The result of the .. operation on string1 and string2 is the concatenation of the two strings. Now you try. Fill in some strings into the a= and b= lines. Type your code here: Run Hint Example 3 Share See your results here: This code will run, but the output will be nonsense. Fill in some text in between the double quotes in the a= and b= lines. The c = a .. b line will do the concatenation. What do you think the output will be given your assignments of a and b?

Void salt and pepper shaker. This ceramic salt and pepper shaker is designed to not only be a usable functional object, but also to present a visible relationship between two elements. Inspired by The Laugher by Heinrich Böll, the top form cannot peacefully rest without the existence of the lower form. Only together can they share a complete harmonious presence; when separated a void that exists within their relationship becomes apparent. Painted 3D printed models and two renderings are shown. Eyeball fixation speculum for cataract surgery. Designed for Dr. Yau from the Ophthalmology Department at the University of Alberta. Created in collaboration with engineering students Adam Abdo, Jayla Kneller, John Srinivasagam, and Coleman Stephens. This prototype clock is made out of flat stock Syntra plastic. The clock is two pieces, which allows the bottom piece to include a small compartment for storing small objects such as jewelry.

For companies that have more than 100 employees, Traqspera offers a sliding discount scale that makes it cheaper as you get larger! This also ensures dedicated support for larger companies integrating Traqspera into their workflow. All at a fraction of our competitors’ price. Get Started Frequently Asked Questions Find answers, tips, and troubleshooting instructions based on our most asked topics. What is the difference between an employee and a user? An employee is a member of your company who will have a timesheet in Traqspera (usually field staff, but occasionally hourly office staff as well). A user is someone who has a login for Traqspera. We price based on "total timesheet employee count", rather than "per user" like some software. A company of 100 employees may have 20 users log in, or all 100. We wouldn't want to charge 5x more for this so we price per employee. You can have as many users in your company log into Traqspera as you'd like, since it is valuable for an employee to double-check the time entered for them by their supervisor, or pull up their safety certificates on the fly from their phone. What devices does Traqspera work on? Traqspera works on any smart mobile device, tablet, or desktop, running any operating system, on any network. From iPhones, Androids, and Window Phones, iPads, Samsung Galaxy, and Lenovo devices, to Asus, MacBook, and HP devices. And so much more. If your device can access Facebook, it will be able to run Traqspera. How many projects can I have running at once? Run as many projects, teams, and job sites in parallel to each other as you need. With no caps on data, attachments, and entries, Traqspera lets you run your business how you want. How much data can I store in Traqspera? With any Traqspera account you will receive unlimited data storage. How long does it take to get started using Traqspera? Typically, it takes 1-2 weeks from the point you commit until you can log into your new branded Traqspera system. From there, we will do 1-on-1 training with your staff so you can hit the ground running. How complicated is Traqspera to the user? My field staff isn't very tech-savvy. Whether you're 21 or 61, using Traqspera is as simple as sending a text message from your phone. Field staff choose the job they are in and clock in or enter their hours in as little as 1 minute at the end of their day. How long does training take? Training typically takes up to 1 hour for field users and a couple of hours per office/management user. We have videos, quick start guides, and 1-on-1 sessions with our implementation team. My Spectrum or Vista system is on-premise. Can I still use Traqspera? Yes, we can link Traqspera to on-premise systems for seamless synchronization of data and payroll exports. How often does Traqspera sync with Spectrum or Vista? Traqspera syncs with Spectrum and Vista once per hour, although you can always click a button to pull in any new data on-demand, at any time.

DEVELOPMENT of character implies a variety of experiences and tests. In choosing Abraham as his agent and channel through whom he would bring to the world his purposed blessings, God chose a good man, but not a perfect one—for there was not a perfect man to choose, as there has not been since, of all Adam's posterity. While God called Abraham, he made him only partial promises until he had manifested faith by obedience. And it was appropriate that various and severe tests of faith should come before the fulness of divine favor should be guaranteed him. One of these faith-tests came through a drouth in the land of Canaan, and, as a result, a food scarcity, a famine, in the region where Abraham had settled, flocks and herds. It would naturally be a severe test of faith for him to see his cattle lean and dying, and to think of [R2848 : page 232] the fertile country which he had left, and that this drouth-stricken land was the one to which the Lord had called him. He must go somewhere to find water and sustenance, and concluded not to go back to Babylon, but to journey south-westward into the country bordering Egypt. Egypt was well advanced in civilization, and like Chaldea, his former home, was a heathen land—to the extent that the people had considerably lost sight of the one God and his worship, and had become worshipers of various deities. It was a dangerous experiment: Abram might have become enamored of the civilization, etc., of Egypt and have lost his respect for the Lord's promise in regard to Canaan; yet it did not have this effect, but apparently, on the contrary, became a blessing to him; for his experience there convinced him more and more that he could not have true happiness under the prevailing conditions: he would rather wander about and have no continuing city, and not be bound by any of the customs and rules of the world which recognized not God. His experience taught him to look for, to hope for, to wait for, the New Jerusalem city or government, which has not yet been established, but for which the Lord's people still pray: "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth." [R2848 : page 233] Abraham little realized how much he needed to pray, "abandon us not in temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." On arrival he, as a great man, was brought to the attention of the king, and Sarah, his wife, was introduced,—but as his sister, or niece, not as his wife. Abraham heard probably about this time of an incident which had occurred with one of the Pharaohs, of which we now know through recently discovered papyrus records—that at the instance of his princes he sent an armed force and took a beautiful woman from her husband for his harem. Sarah was a beautiful woman, and Abraham feared that Pharaoh might kill him in order to have his wife. This difficulty probably did not occur to him when he started his journey, nor until he had arrived there and was called before the king. Thus the Lord's people always find it: if they leave the land of promise, seeking better things in the world, they find their difficulties and trials greatly increased. Abraham determined that as an expedient for the preservation of his life he would tell but a part of the truth and speak of Sarah as his sister, without acknowledging her as his wife. The transaction was an ignoble one every way, and quite unworthy of the man; but the Lord did not forsake him, but, as the record shows, returned Sarah to him with a rebuke from the heathen king which must have stung Abraham severely, and have served as a lesson for the remainder of his life. Thus all things work together for good to them that love God—even their mistakes and slips become lessons and blessings under divine providence. Having learned his lesson, Abraham quickly retraced his steps to the land of promise, returning again to Bethel where first he had built an altar to the Lord and formally consecrated himself: there again Abraham called upon the name of the Lord. The prompt retracing of his steps is also a lesson for the Lord's people of this Gospel age. If we find that through lack of faith or weakness of the flesh a wrong step has been taken, contrary to the Lord's will and our best spiritual interests, no time should be lost in retracing the steps and in calling upon the Lord. We have an altar consecrated with the precious blood of Christ, far superior every way to that which Abraham consecrated with the blood of typical animals; and the Apostle exhorts us, "Let us come boldly [courageously—full of faith] to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in every time of need."—Heb. 4:16. One of the strongest evidences of the truth of the Bible records, and that they are not the work of priests or knaves, is the fact that the weaknesses and frailties of its grandest and most luminous characters are depicted with as free a hand as their virtues and strong qualities. Had the story of Abraham and the story of David, both men full of faith and after God's own heart, and acknowledged to be his friends, been concocted, they assuredly would have omitted all the blemishes of the present narratives. As it is, the weaknesses of these men, and divine compassion toward them notwithstanding these, and their faith and repentance and reestablishment in divine favor, have been lessons of incalculable value to the Lord's saints throughout the age, many of whom have at times found themselves more or less similarly entrapped, and to some extent stumbled by the great temptations of the world, the flesh and the Devil. Abraham's flocks and herds increased, and the number of his servants. Likewise also did Lot's—tho he was by no means as wealthy a man as his uncle. Prosperity seems as likely to bring trouble as adversity, or more so; and it does not surprise us to find that a strife broke out between the herdsmen of the two masters, and that apparently the strife extended to Lot. The land at that time was not thickly settled, nor was it owned and controlled by syndicates; hence Abraham and Lot moved hither and thither through the grazing country, merely seeking to find unoccupied pasturage, and as the Canaanites (Lowlanders) and the Perizites (Highlanders) dwelt in Canaan, it necessarily meant that migratory bands, such as Abraham's, would find the pasturage at times somewhat restricted. Abraham's prompt course for the maintenance of peace is worthy of emulation. His words to Lot on the subject would make a good motto for the home or for the shop; "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee...for we are brethren." The Lord's people are not all peaceably disposed according to the flesh, but peaceableness is a prominent element in the new nature, the new mind, the new will, the new heart; hence peaceableness is to be cultivated and more attention is to be given to it in proportion as we find our natural disposition to be contentious. This is one of the ways the Lord's people are to be renewed in word and in deed;—"By the transformation of their minds." Abraham was not only peaceable, but generous, as his proposition to Lot shows; for altho he was the richer of the two by far, and his larger herds and flocks required more abundant provision, he nevertheless gave Lot the choice. Here is another lesson for all of the Lord's people: generosity, not an unreasoning and unreasonable generosity which would give away everything, but an even-handed, fair generosity which is well represented in our Golden Text; viz., the golden rule that we should treat others as we would reasonably wish them to treat us: whoever follows this rule, will, like Abraham, find that in the end [R2848 : page 234] it will be profitable—even tho it may at first seem unprofitable. It would appear that Lot was less generous than his uncle—more selfish; and taking advantage of the latter's liberal proposition he chose the rich, fertile valley of the Jordan—the land of Sodom, of which the record is that it was "like the garden of the Lord" (the Garden of Eden), and like the most favored portion of Egypt. Lot was a keen business man apparently, for his choice signified not only the richest of the grazing country, but additionally the best market for his flocks and herds; because the Jordan valley seems to have been a commercial highway frequented by traveling caravans, etc., the best of customers for sheep and cattle. Abraham and Lot together might have taken the Jordan valley at first, seeing its suitability to their occupation: no doubt the reason why Abraham avoided it is found in the fact of the wickedness of the people there, and that he did not wish to bring either himself or wife or servants into close contact with such people, preferring the less fertile district because of their separateness from such associations, with which he could not feel in harmony or fellowship. Lot possessed much less faith and much less character than his uncle, but was also a good man, and his determination to make the country of the Jordan his home does not signify that he had fellowship with the Sodomites. On the contrary, the record is that their course "vexed his righteous soul." (2 Pet. 2:8.) He evidently was deluded, as many of the Lord's people of today are deluded, into association with evil influences for the sake of worldly prosperity. He no doubt persuaded himself that he could live separate from the contaminations of Sodom, and even exercise a moral influence over the unrighteous. How unwise, very unwise, his course really was may be seen in the light of his subsequent history. The wisdom of Abraham stands out in striking contrast, and the two experiences furnish valuable lessons for all who are seeking the heavenly city and praying, Thy Kingdom come. Abraham's course illustrates our Lord's words, "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness and all these [needful] things shall be added unto you." Lot's course illustrates our Lord's words, "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world!" Lot's quest for wealth, etc., no doubt brought rich returns, for he became a wealthy and influential man in Sodom, but his wealth and influence cost too much; first, they cost his peace of mind, for "his righteous soul was vexed;" he had no real happiness. Second, it cost him his children, sons and daughters, all but two unmarried ones, and even they apparently were blemished through their contact with evil example. And it cost him also his wife, whose sympathies for her children over-balanced her interest in the Lord and righteousness. It cost him additionally, in the end, all his flocks and herds and wealth, all of which went down in the fire from heaven upon the city of destruction. [R2849 : page 234] There is a great lesson here for us all, especially for such lovers of righteousness as have the care, the guardianship of children: the lesson is that they should think less of earthly advantages, social, political and financial, and think more, much more, of the moral and spiritual influences and advantages obtainable through isolation from the evil which is in the world,—so far as possible "make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame [blemished through sin] be turned out of the way [of righteousness]."—Heb. 12:13. Abraham did not attempt to coerce his nephew; but, properly no doubt, after having advised him to the contrary, he let him take his course, contenting himself with giving the admonition and example to the contrary. Here is another good lesson for the Lord's people; very many who like to have their own liberty are disposed to use force and coercion in dealing with others, and the results are generally bad for both parties. Lack of faith lies at the bottom of such difficulties; self-will attempts to regulate our own affairs, and branching out attempts also to regulate the affairs of others: whereas a consecrated will, resting by faith upon the Lord's promise, permits the Lord to have the helm; to control not only in respect to the believer's personal interests, but also in respect to the interests and affairs of others. Abraham had manifested his faith in God, not only in respect to the future blessings promised, but also in respect to the incidental details of his every-day life. Hence he could afford not only to not interfere with Lot's liberty, but could be generous to the extent of giving Lot his choice, knowing that the Lord would take care of him, and fulfil to him all the gracious promises incidental to his call. And in proportion as we are children of Abraham by faith we should have and should continually exercise similar faith, that we may experience similar blessings under God's providence. While Lot's choice led him farther from the right, Abraham's blessing was increased by his course; for again the Lord appeared to him, in a manner not explained, and gave him renewed assurance respecting the original promise, telling him to look in every direction and to know assuredly that, while this land at the present time was under various rulers, it should in time be given to him and his posterity everlastingly. Yet with this renewal of the promise must have come another testing of faith, because Abraham as yet had [R2849 : page 235] no child. How improbable, therefore, the fulfilment of the Lord's word, that his seed should ultimately be very numerous, hyperbolically "as the dust of the earth!" Yet Abraham's faith wavered not. Likewise the faith of the Lord's people today wavers not respecting his promise—for it has not yet had a fulfilment, as the Apostles Paul and Stephen both declare. Abraham lived in the land many years and died there, yet was a pilgrim and stranger; a sojourner and not an owner to the day of his death. (Heb. 11:13.) Stephen's explanation of the matter is very explicit. (Acts 7:5.) He declares that God never gave him so much of the space as would be covered by his foot; and points out that the time for the fulfilment of this promise is future—during the resurrection, the Millennium of Christ's reign, after the heavenly city, the New Jerusalem, the glorified Church, the bride with the Bridegroom, shall have been established in the control of the world as God's Kingdom.—Dan. 7:13,14; 1 Cor. 15:24. With each manifestation of obedience on the part of Abraham came fresh blessings from the Lord, fresh repetitions and expanded declarations respecting the divine purpose, strengthening and encouraging him. Nevertheless he understood that the realization of his hope lay in the future, and this was clearly indicated by the Lord's words, "Arise, journey through the land, in the length and in the breadth of it, for I will give it unto thee." In compliance with this instruction, that he was to be a pilgrim, moving from place to place, Abraham only removed to Mamre, and, doubtless in harmony with his custom at each new stopping place, he built there another altar unto the Lord—another typical acknowledgement of sin, of his own unworthiness, and of the fact that his standing before God, his acceptance with him, was in the merits of a great Sin Offering which had not yet been made. So with us who are the Lord's people, wherever we are; we are under divine care, and may rest, and may have the peace of God which passeth all understanding, ruling in our hearts: nevertheless, we are not to be at home, nor to seek to feel at home under present imperfect conditions. We are to continually remember that the Lord has promised us a heavenly inheritance, and we are to seek for and wait for it, assured that it will be ours if we remain faithful to the end of life's pilgrimage.

China says the situation in military-ruled Burma does not pose a threat to regional security, and that people there should be allowed to resolve their own problems. A Foreign Ministry spokesman in Beijing Qin Gang said today that as a neighbor to Burma, China hopes the southeast Asian country will have stability, economic development and peace. He did not comment on the ongoing house arrest of Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi or Burma's reported detention of more than one thousand political prisoners. The remarks follow a visit to Beijing by the United Nations Special Adviser on Burma, Ibrahim Gambari. Gambari met with senior Chinese government officials during his stopover, which is part of wider regional discussions on Burma. Gambari also will travel to India and Japan for further talks. Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party won Burma's 1990 election, but was never allowed to take office. She has spent most of the past 18 years under detention of some form.

Investors willing to settle for less as U.S. stocks advance are likely to end up with more, according to LPL Financial LLC. Strategists Jeffrey Buchbinder and Ryan Detrick made the case in a report Monday that highlighted the S&P 500 Index’s performance in 10 bull markets since the 1950s. In all but one case, the S&P 500 had a smaller increase in the second year than it did in the first year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A bull market that started in 1987 was the exception. Two months into the second year of the most recent bull run, the strategists said the pace of stock-market gains “is likely to slow and to come with more volatility.”

The concern is again raised by many residents that if the Riverine area (Scholtz River) adjacent, and below the Country Village is not adequately cleared of alien vegetation and widened to accommodate the expected water flow, that will occur during heavy rainfall in the catchment area of the river, many of the areas adjacent to the Scholtz will again be flooded/inundated. In a bid to alleviate the looming disaster, it is requested that some remedial work be done, as a matter of urgency, on the lower part of the Scholtz River to mitigate the chances of flooding in and around the Country Village in particular. Scholtz – Flood Mitigation – Report Greyton River Management Proposal – Stellenbosch University Related Author Derek CrabtreePosted on May 19, 2018 Categories Uncategorized 4 thoughts on “Scholtz River Vulnerability & Flooding Report” Mike Ash says: May 19, 2018 at 5:49 pm Derek, thank you for such a comprehensive report on the flood issues, I remember the 2008 event very well and any action to avoid this in the future would be energy and money well spent. The immediate residents may not be aware of this otherwise they would likely keep the route clear of vegetation themselves? but I wish you all the best with your task team. Reply Derek Crabtree says: May 19, 2018 at 7:26 pm Thank you Mike. We are very worried about the situation as it is, some clearing of the river bed is currently being done adjacent to the Retirement Village but we feel this is not sufficient to prevent a major disaster. Hopefully this report will precipitate some awareness and hopefully may result in some action being taken. The concern is that insurance companies may refuse to payout in the event of claims if the required remedial work to mitigate flooding is not done. Reply Monique M Hess says: May 21, 2018 at 10:44 am Thank you Derek for all your time and effort in bringing about awareness of this extremely important issue of probable flooding in the near future. Reply Colette Kemp says: May 22, 2018 at 10:05 am Hi Derek, Thankyou for getting involved, and initiating the rehabilitation of the Scholtz river. I have been studying the natural recovery of flood-damaged riparian areas in the Cape, and feel that it is important that the dynamics of riparian vegetation, and it’s ability to cope with floods are considered as a mitigating option – when planning to rehabilitate a river in such a key recreation area. Riparian vegetation is a dynamic, highly specialized, water-holding vegetation that is distinctive to other surrounding vegetation and connects the river to it’s floodplain. Often, pioneering Renosterbos shrubs and grasses will colonise a river and assist it to succeed to a higher riparian community that includes riparian trees. QUOTE:- “There is a clear divide between riparian vegetation and it’s neighboring Vynbos community. It is crucial to distinguish the differences and treat them accordingly. With the ever increasing demand on natural water resources, any aspect that can assist in the restoration and rehabilitation of our transformed river systems is essential. What is necessary is good basic knowledge of the community that is “under construction” .” (Vosse, 2007) “In the restoration of post-cleared sites, supplementing (in the form of planting rather than seeding) of these species (dominant tree species) would be at an advantage to the integrity of the community.” (Vosse, 2007) “A priority for biodiversity conservation in South Africa is the protection of riparian habitats, which have become increasingly valuable owing to the multitude of ecosystem services they supply. Appropriate management of these riparian areas depends largely upon knowledge of riparian plant communities so that informed decisions can be made regarding their management and restoration.” (Meek, CS., Richardson, D.M. & Mucina, L. 2013) It is critically important that rivers, vulnerable to flooding are stabilized by natural riparian grasses and shrubs to avoid erosion and siltation. A buffer zone on either side of the river should be established – incorporating riparian trees that will slow down any floodwaters, and stabilize the soils. The riparian forests that line the – at times, huge rivers that flow from Oubos forest (near Riviersonderend) are a good example of how trees can protect clay riverbanks, as the clay roads on either side of the river have not been disturbed for at least 80 years, judging from the size of the trees. Another good river to observe is the Disa River above Harold Porter Gardens that has suffered severe flooding and also sharply turns from a steep gradient. This river has suffered severe erosion and yet, has made an amazingly swift recovery. Palmiet has naturally colonised the riverbanks, and allowed for the establishment of deep-rooted, riparian pioneers such as Keurboom, Fountain Bush and Podalyria, Water Witels and Cape Holly. I am very concerned that a future flood may possibly do irreparable damage to the Scholtz riverbed, and feel strongly that the safest and least expensive solution right now, would be to secure the riverbanks with riparian grasses and bushes, and to create a buffer zone of trees. At the moment, the roots of the trees that were cleared, are still holding the banks together and could provide a secure habitat for riparian vegetation. I would be happy to assist with naturally rehabilitating the Scholtz River, with the guidance, and direction of riparian experts.

The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 3892, which would significantly amend the Bilingual Education Act. While there is a need to strengthen programs designed to help students with limited English proficiency (LEP) learn English, meet challenging standards in academic subjects, and successfully move into mainstream classes, H.R. 3892 would not accomplish these purposes. It is a step in the wrong direction. H.R. 3892 is objectionable because it would: Force school districts to cut off services arbitrarily to students who need them, and deny funds to school districts if they fail to do so. Eliminate professional development programs that focus on the preparation of teachers, thereby exacerbating the current shortage of qualified bilingual and English-as-a-second language teachers. Eliminate targeting of limited Federal funds on school districts with the greatest need and the highest quality programs, by replacing the current competitive grants program with a State block grant. Fail to include safeguards to prevent States and school districts from reducing their financial support for educating LEP students. Curtail necessary efforts by the Education Department to protect the civil rights of LEP students by voiding compliance agreements where local educational agencies (LEAs) have chosen bilingual education as the means of complying with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. This would generate costly and time-consuming law suits for LEAs and deny them the ability to resolve compliance issues voluntarily. The President has articulated a clear set of principles to strengthen education programs for LEP students. This bill does not reflect those principles, and will not improve education programs for these students. It will not help them to learn English more rapidly, nor will it help them to meet challenging standards in academic subject areas.

It’s not every day that a digital release from a publisher that you’ve never heard of blows you away a little bit. The best possible description of Anne Steelyard also happens to be completely inadequate. Going by the cover, you can probably guess what that is: feminist Indiana Jones. And you’d be right about that. But that description doesn’t begin to capture what’s so wonderful about this book. It doesn’t convey, for example, the deftness with which it captures the atmosphere of Constantinople before World War I breaks out, and the smouldering tensions that hang in the city’s air. Nor does it convey the sense of a changing of the historical guard that gives the book an element of power. Most importantly, it does not capture just how well the characters are written here. Writer Barbara Hambly stakes out some pretty daunting challenges for any genre writer here. First, there’s the genre itself. Us comics geeks often have an affection for the trappings of the old pulp stories. Adventures in ancient buried cities! Hidden relics! Robotic gorilla demons! What’s not to love, right? But too often, when one looks at the original sources for those ideas, he or she can come away quite disturbed by the racist, classist, and sexist attitudes that permeate very many of those classic stories, attitudes which often get translated into the modern stories that count them as influences. Second, there’s the oft-used device of inserting female protagonists into stories like this, stories usually written by men who swap out the gender of their principal characters without swapping in the sex. The end results of such endeavors are usually pretty empty in terms of character, making the story an exercise in watching someone do stuff while stuff happens. Hambly’s script is pretty great in every respect. There’s adventure, romance, and great characters who all bounce off of each other really well, but it’s her handling of the pulp genre and its gender conventions that really make Anne Steelyard come alive. The handling of the character of Anne Steelyard herself is what sets this book apart. She very much lives in a pulp world, with all that entails, that evokes the attitudes of the early nineteen hundred, when Europe’s great powers were simultaneously at their zenith and about to take their last bloody gasps. As a woman, Steelyard, based on real life adventurer Gertrude Bell, is expected to do what her father says, marry who her father wants her to marry, and in all respects be a good little girl. Hambly takes great pains to show how Steelyard’s culture is stacked against her, which makes her and her companions’ gaming of that culture’s systems a lot of fun to watch and gives the sense that Steelyard is a person of great internal daring and not simply someone who likes to “do stuff.” Anne Steelyard is a feminist story in the truest sense, complete with characters who bristle against the cage of patriarchy, but it can be enjoyed on terms apart from that. The art, penciled by Alex Kosakowski and Ron Randall, with colors by Mike Garcia is simply gorgeous. The artists evoke a feeling resembling the famous Cary Nord and Dave Stewart combo from the early days of Dark Horse’s Conan. The styling of the pencil work is very different from Nord’s. It’s more voluptuous than brawny, for example, and the figures come in a variety of realistic shapes and sizes. The colors owe a lot to Stewart’s work, as here there are no inks, and a similar water color-like digital technique is used, but it’s an instance of a felt influence rather than one of pure aping. There are lots of romantic pinks here (sunsets, dresses that cage our heroine), and the dry yellows of the desert. It’s all great work. So yeah. Read this. Rating: Out of a Possible 5 Stars Graig Brings Us Kids Stuff Week! Samurai Jack #1 & 2 (IDW, $3.99 ea.) by Graig Kent There have been Samurai Jack stories told in comics before, but most of them were just 8-pagers buried in DC’s Cartoon Network anthology, so, you know, not the most robust or high-profile reading. DC didn’t do the property much justice. But after theri recent triumph Power Puff Girls #1 I had much higher hopes for IDW’s output. Leading into the series, I was expecting writer Jim Zub to take more inspiration from the atmospheric elements of Jack, and attempt a largely wordless first issue, but instead he wisely goes bigger, much bigger, and draws from the more adventuresome elements of the show. After roaming through punishing desert winds (there’s three pages of typical Samurai Jack atmospherics) Jack learns of the Rope of Eons, a magical woven braid that can influence time, but the rope was shredded by Aku and dispersed across the lands. Sensing an opportunity to return home, Jack sets off on a quest to gather the scattered threads together to rebuild the rope and hopefully pull himself backwards in time, to undo the future that is Aku. In this, Zub has crafted a great multi-issue arc that will still allow him to jump genres and storytelling modes with each issue, feeling like Samurai Jack and yet also allow it to be something different. As any Jack fan knows, his quests are always destined to be thwarted by Aku in the end, or turn out to be false leads to start with, but it is always in the aesthetics and presentation that Samurai Jack stands out and captivates. Artist Andy Suriano picks up the visual feel of the cartoon, adopting the style for the characters and setting as well as using an agreeable color palette that doesn’t need to stay fixed with that of the cartoon. However, I would like to see Suriano branch out and be more adventuresome in his panel breakdowns. In the first issue they’re umremarkably generic, and the second issue feels a bit more innovative, but it still pales in comparison to the Samurai Jack cartoon, where Genndy Tarkovski and company toyed perpetually with its framing. Comics can be a much more flexible medium than animation when it comes to creativity and storytelling, so Suriano needs to push himself harder and farther, to use the medium’s flexibility in a way the cartoon never could. It’s still an excellent start, though, destined to appeal to and satisfy any Jack fan. Rating: Out of a Possible 5 Stars Scooby-Doo Team-Up #1 (DC Comics, $2.99) by Graig Kent It’s easy for me to convey how big a Scooby-Doo fan I am, it just takes one simple sentence… Scrappy-Doo is my favourite character. Yeah, I really don’t like Scooby-Doo all that much. Nor Daphne, Velma, Fred, or Shaggy for that matter. I have a healthy appreciation for the show’s pop-culture status and the sweet (if limited) Hanna-Barbara animation of the 70’s, but the negative-growth of the characters, the formulaic structure of the episodes, and oh, that laugh track… even as a kid laugh tracks drove me nuts, especially on cartoons, because they weren’t ever funny. I think that is Scooby-Doo’s biggest crime, that it’s presented as a comedy, but it’s an even weaker element than the mystery and horror aspects of the show. Where the show succeeded (and I’m kind of glossing over the fact that there have been a dozen or so iterations of the show), and what I think people remember best about the show, is its guest stars, like the Harlem Globetrotters, The Three Stooges and Batman and Robin. It was quite a trip to bring in a live-action television series or real-world celebrities or even superheroes into Scooby-Doo’s world, and it was enough of a jolt to the usual Scooby formula to elevate the show and the brand above also-rans like Speed Buggy or Jabberjaw. That and a catchy, memorable, easily repeatable theme song. In this light, Scooby-Doo Team-Up seems like a natural idea for a comic. If people love those New Scooby-Doo movies where the Mystery Inc. gang meet someone famous, why not take advantage of all the Warner Brothers properties and start teaming them up with others? Batman and Robin is a natural starting point, since they’ve done so a couple times before, and it is a comic. Veteran Scooby (and animated Batman) writer Scholly Fisch establishes their familiarity from the moment they set eyes on each other. Both teams are on the case of mysterious, monstrous bat sightings, which Batman suspects is Kirk Langstrom, the Man-Bat. They team up, stop a robbery and save the day. It’s a done-in-one title (published bi-monthly) so things move at a brisk clip, and there’s no grand arcs at play. Fisch captures the Scooby gang relatively well, but my issues with his script lay in the meta-references, where the Scooby characters say things that make them all too aware of their repetitive behavior and ridiculous lifestyle. It doesn’t really belong, it’s not particularly fresh or funny, and moreover it pulls the reader out of the fantasy. I’m agog over artist Dario Brizuela though. He captures the Scoobies perfectly but it’s his Batman and Robin which are absolute classic. They look like Super Powers action figures instead of using the Bruce Timm design or even the old Super Friends look. They’re not on-model with any animation version I’ve seen, he just draws them with their most infamous outfits and they look terrific, undies on the outside and all. I love Brizuela’s simple and impeccably clean line work, somewhat reminiscent of Ty Templeton or early Kevin Maguire. Heroic Age comes in with a beautiful and vibrant coloring job, sticking with bright colors and simple shading to add the depth. It looks fantastic. It’s a great, fun read for the kids, a passable read for adults, but it’s so good looking that I can’t not recommend it. More Batman-related team-ups are in store for the near future (as the series was originally supposed to be a Scooby/Batman team-up mini-series) but expansion into the DCU and beyond is in store. Rating: Out of a Possible 5 Stars Plants vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon HC (Dark Horse, $9.99) by Graig Kent I love Plants vs. Zombies, so there’s my bias, up front. I’m currently addicted to Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time to the detriment of my eyeballs, my sanity, and my free time. Pop Cap games has created a series that is silly, but clever, visually distinctive, entertaining, cute and intense all at once. It’s a strategy game, primarily, and as such, it doesn’t have a narrative through line, (though It’s About Time tries to construct a tenuous one about Crazy Dave searching history for the taco he already ate), and given the conceit — pun-tastic plants defend your home against invading hordes of zombies — it doesn’t need one. So when I heard that Dark Horse was producing a comic book mini-series (originally offered through Dark Horse Digital) I was both puzzled how there could be a comic and completely on-board with finding out. I actually missed the digital run, but was super-psyched to come across the hardcover collection that was just recently released. I had no doubt that it would be a mess of a book trying to mesh the game’s concepts into a workable story, but was curious whether a comic could properly retain the mixture of goofiness and anxiousness that the source does so well. The result is it is as much as mess as I expected it to be, with writer Paul Tobin (of Bandette fame) creating a couple of tween-aged characters to be our guide through this crazy landscape. Nate Timely is a daydreamer, a kid who loves archetype-mashing (pirate mummies, alien ninjas, cowboy astronauts), and he meet-cutes Patrice Blazing, a brassy, quick-witted young lass in his tree fort. There’s an instant chemistry between them that they don’t really get to explore before noticing the zombie horde outside. They flee the fort to make way to Patrice’s uncle’s house, the guy who all the kids in the neighbourhood known as Crazy Dave. Dave meanwhile has been preparing for an Alien Ninja onslaught by creating weaponized plants in his greenhouse and seeding them around town (so the plants get an origin, but the zombies just appear out of nowhere, sadly). From there it’s just plants versus zombie melee with these folks getting in between and some sort of objective for them to meet (that really doesn’t matter all that much). Tobin sows in as many of the game elements as possible, making use of the different types of zombies and plants, and even the bonus Yeti and Zomboss. It’s mainly up to Ron Chan to illustrate it all however and he crams the pages with a ridiculous amount of plants and zombies, which is all terribly fun to look at and scour through. Where it doesn’t hold true to the game is in its lack of intensity. Tobin and Chan do an excellent job in keeping things upbeat and getting chuckles with Crazy Dave’s gibberish, but there’s no risk here, there’s no sense that anyone’s getting their brains eaten, and the kids are able to move way too freely around the town to make the zombies seem at all threatening. There should be a mix of levity and terror and there really isn’t. Obviously this is a fans-only book. There’s no crossover appeal here, and that’s okay. Tobin did a solid job with constructing an accessible, all-ages story out of a video game premise, but now that there’s a structure in place, I would like to see boundaries pushed. I see now that a Plants vs. Zombies story can borrow nicely (or rip off entirely) things like Assault On Precinct 13 or The Gauntlet, allowing it to have a bit more weight but still be tremendous fun. Rating: Out of a Possible 5 Stars Magic of Myths Season 2: Tempus Doodle Press: $17.83 (including shipping); $25.94 for Season 1 and 2 Omnibus Edition By Jeb D. Guess it’s one of those things where there’s just something in the air: following Jonathan Hickman’s God is Dead, which indulges our inner eight-year-old with the question of just what would happen if all those mythical gods and goddesses were, like, giant humanoid kaiju getting into it with each other, the second installment of writer Corey Brotherson and artist Sergio Calvet’s Magic of Myths posits a similar showdown between the split personalities of the gods of the Greek pantheon and their doppelgangers from Rome. For all those that might have wondered who’d win in a fight, Mars or Ares, this book is right up your street. Of course, there’s more going on here than apocalyptic mirror-image mano a mano. Season 2 continues the saga of Eve, the physically and mentally wounded English teacher who takes on the mantle of heroism in a land of fantasy. Brotherson understands the tropes of the genre, and while Eve and her grouchy mentor, Tink, have the sort of prickly relationship that is standard in this sort of story, Brotherson undercuts the solemnity here and there, making Eve’s fantasy persona a wisecracking hero in the Spider-Man mold (taking out a band of evil dwarves, she quips “Hello, I’m Eve… you must be [PUNCH!] Sleepy? [KICK!] Wheezy? And that must make you [SMASH!] Unconscious!”). In this volume, we dig deeper into Eve’s difficult personal background, and in the parallells between her earthly life, and her magical one, we see her robbed of resources and weapons in both environments, thrown back on her own “human” resources, so to speak, and facing threats that Brotherson has set up as credibly menacing. He brings layers to the conventional trope of the real world-fantasy inversion, and the storytelling depth of Eve’s “mortal” life has strengthened considerably in Season 2. Calvet’s art is, if anything, even stronger this time out: his clash of ancient power is less grim and bloody than Di Amorim gives us in God is Dead; it’s closer to a more kid-friendly version of something like 300, but even in his cartoony style, he brings intensity to the combat, and punctuates Eve’s story beats with wit and pathos, as called for. If Brotherson’s script has a fault, it’s that things can get awfully talky as he works to distinguish his story from its similarly fantasy-oriented predecessors, and in future volumes, I hope he’ll find the opportunity to step back a bit more here and there and let his capable partner carry more of the expositional load. Season 2 of Magic of Myths avoids the frequent pitfalls of modern decompressed storytelling: it advances the story, introduces intriguing new elements, and the ending, while a bit more reliant on cliche than the rest of the book, is a strong setup for Season 3.

Bryan was born in Navan, County Meath, Ireland, on 22nd July 1885, the son of Thomas and Margaret Sheridan of Grange Bective, Navan, Co. Meath. He had two brothers, William and Philip, who both also fought in World War 1. William joined the 1st Battalion, Irish Guards Regiment (Service Number 5949), and was killed in action in Flanders on 18th May 1915. Philip joined the 3rd Battalion, Leinster Regiment (Service Number 6081), and was subsequently transferred to the 16th Battalion, Machine Gun Corps (Service Number 73973) on 9th March 1918. Philip was wounded and taken prisoner on 21st March 1918 and spent the remainder of the war in a POW camp. He was repatriated after the war and demobilised in October 1919. Bryan served for two years in the Irish Guards Regiment. On completion of his term of engagement, he was transferred to the Army Reserves and was given permission to emigrate to Canada. He settled in Amherst, Nova Scotia, where he worked as a "Teamster". He was single and a Roman Catholic. He re-enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, in Amherst, on 30th March 1915. Initially assigned to the 6th Battalion Canadian Mounted Rifles, Bryan arrived in France from Folkstone on 24th of October 1915. He was subsequently transferred to the 4th CMR on 2nd January 1916 under a divisional reshuffle. Byran was with 'C' company in the trenches in front of Armagh Wood, south east of Ypres, on 2nd June 1916, the day the German artillery barrage began in the 'Battle for Mount Sorrel'. His service file records that he was reported wounded on the same day and it is likely that he was killed in the initial artillery assault and subsequent mine explosion under their trenches by the German army. His body was never recovered. Though he was initially listed as wounded believed missing, he was later formally reported as missing believed killed on 2nd or 3rd June 1916, on 3rd April 1917. Bryan is commemorated on Panel 32 of the Menin Gate Memorial in Ieper (Ypres) Belgium; his name appearing there along with 57,000 or so names of men who were killed in the defence of Ypres, and whose remains were never recovered.

This post is a little more personal for me than just great styles at a great prices…don’t get me wrong those are definitely here for sure! But February…a month that most people dread because of the dreary, cold weather has been, for a very long time, an actual favorite of mine. And it’s just a bonus that the vibrant, fun colors of pink and red are so prominent this month…everywhere of course…but especially in fashion. But before we get to my style quest I will let you in on why February is good with me despite the extra gloomy of the weather. Especially since all of you that know me are aware that I absolutely love summer and am not too fond of the winter months (to put it mildly). So why do I like February so much you ask? Well, it all started when I was younger when Valentine’s Day was always fun because my mom always found a way to make the day special for all of us in any small way she could. It then continued into my teen years because of the hope for new love (which usually didn’t pan out, of course!). But it all worked out when one special day in February almost 34 years ago, I actually met the love of my life…my wonderful, gorgeous husband and we had our first date a few days later (and the rest ,as they say, is history!). And then after many difficult years of waiting and being told it wasn’t possible the most precious miracle of my life ….our son…was born in February! Our amazing son is older now and is marrying a wonderful girl that was also born in …that’s right, you guessed it…February! So as you can see it is a month full of happy memories and events for me and that’s why it holds such a special place in my heart. Speaking of hearts… there is one more significant thing in February for me…it is the American Heart Association’s American Heart Health Month and the Go Red for Women campaign. I am a heart attack survivor and live with heart disease every day and so you will see a few items on my style list today that benefit the AHA. So with all that said…I am obsessed with all things red and pink this month- and of course some crisp, clean white thrown into the mix adds the perfect touch! They are vibrant colors that can indeed perk up the darker dreary days of this month…so you can’t go wrong. So I have gone on my monthly quest and included a list of cute, stylish and most importantly affordable colorful fashions. And this season it is not only acceptable but downright fashion-forward to wear your pink and red items together. Now I haven’t done it yet but am certainly going to give it a try! And you should too! The piece that really started the red obsession for this month was the all these photos I was seeing of the RED LEATHER MOTO JACKET and so my quest began: I really love the WHITE BLOUSE and RED JACKET look the best so I went on a quest for that look but one that I could afford…and here is the outfit I found: NEW YORK and COMPANY- Faux Leather Moto jacket- Flamenco Red- $89.99- sale for $29.99 H&M V-Neck Blouse- $17.99- in store was $15.00 minus 40% off coupon= $9.00 OLD NAVY Rockstar Raw edge jeans- $25.00 minus $10 super cash coupon= $15.00 So…then I saw these fantastic PINK MOTO JACKET outfits: Here are my PINK MOTO JACKET OUTFIT finds: NEW YORK and COMPANY –Sueded Faux Leather Moto Jacket- Pink Sand-$89.95- on sale for $49.00 H&M- Poplin Blouse- $29.99 minus 40% off coupon= $17.99 (FYI- sizes run bit large) OLD NAVY-Distressed Rockstar jeggings- $39.99 minus $10 super cash coupons= $29.99 THEN I saw these amazing WHITE ANKLE BOOTS: So here is the best WHITE BOOT deal I found: PAYLESS- CHRISTIAN SIRIANO Veronica Kitten heel boots- $29.99 minus 30% off coupon= $20.99 And don’t forget that THIS season you can wear the red and pink together if you choose…it’s a new cute way to make your February outfit stand out.

Riding an elephant at your wedding makes a statement... Unfortunately trained elephants are a rarity in the US and there's only about 5 trainers who travel around the country. Because they're so expensive to keep, bringing an elephant to your event can be $13k-18k depending on your location. If your schedule is flexible, sometimes we can tap into a fair schedule and save several thousand dollars off the price. Most of our elephants have circus experience so they're voice command trained and used to working in environments with people. Lately some of our trainers have been targeted by animal activists who feel that riding an elephant is "animal cruelty" . As a result, it is impossible to get a permit to book them in some states. Some of our clients have been able to bypass these laws by contending that their religious freedom is being suppressed by not letting them follow their Indian traditions. You can rest assured that our trainers treat the pachyderms with respect and adhere to very strict rules of transporting them and feeding them. Some of our elephants have Indian themed costuming, but not all of them. Let us know if that is something you need for your event. Some our clients have asked to be able to decorate the elephants with flowers. Let us know at the time of booking what you'd like to do. CALL NOW! 281-412-5200 Book your elephant today!

Freelancers are Thai females offering company to people getting a payment. Unlike other designs of controlled prostitution, freelancers was their unique manager and you can whatever they get goes in their pouch. Many people perceived freelancers in Thailand since the high-risk providers only because they’re not used by a club otherwise operate in a massage store. However, as you care able to see to your one speak site which have Thai habits, they work tough to earn a living and tend to be great fun too. Bring that it including: an excellent freelancer inside Pattaya charges on the 1.000 baht. When the she’d operate in an agogo bar, she’d ask for no less than dos.000 baht – she will get 1.100 and left step 1.one hundred thousand baht would go to the owner of brand new pub. It’s rather apparent you to so you’re able to encourage a buyers to expend dos.000 baht as opposed to step one.100 baht for the very same services requires a lot more works. That is why as to why an excellent freelancer prefers to select users for her individual. This means that, she’s got more freedom and with less efforts, she produces equivalent currency just like the a pub lady. New interesting material is the wisest and best Thai women occurs usually getting freelancers.

If you have an ecommerce website and if you want to make sure that you rank on the first page of Google for relevant keywords then make sure that your search engine optimization (Seo) services company has taken care of the following. 1. SEO Pagination Your ecommerce website will have a product listing page where the user can view / filter the list of products. Since the number of products that you have will run into several hundreds you must have a pagination strategy that is both user friendly and search engine friendly at the same time. From the SEO perspective you do not want Google to index all the pages but you want Google to crawl product listings on all pages because all the pages will have the same meta information and will cannibalize each other’s Google ranking. This can be done using the META NAME=”ROBOTS” tag. We can use this tag to inform Google whether to index and crawl this page. This can be used to instruct Google to index and crawl the first page from the paginated set and not index and crawl all the other pages. 2. Canonicalization Your website may have multiple pages which have the exact same content or content that is similar in nature. These pages often end up competing with each other for the same search keywords. In this case it becomes important to instruct Google to ignore one of the two pages. This can be done using the Canonical tag. Generally the page that needs to be marked as a duplicate has a canonical link to the main page. 3. 301 Redirects Ecommerce websites have a lot of products that go out of stock and therefore if the product is removed from the website the product detail page ceases to exist. However when Google tries to reindex the page a 404 error is returned which is not recommended from the SEO standpoint. Here it becomes important to leave a 301 redirect on that page to the category listing page. 301 redirects inform Google that the address of the page has changed. 4. Prerender for AngularJs Websites made in AngularJs look cool and the single page application feel of the website offers superior engagement to the visitors. However there is a flip side to it. Google does not execute the javascript on your page before indexing the same which means that if we want to index the page perfectly we have to pre- render the page and then send it to Google. 5. Google Crawl Budget Management Even Google has limited resources and so it makes sure that it makes good use of them. Every time the Google bot visits your website it crawls a limited number of pages and this is what is called as the crawl budget. From the SEO perspective we need to make sure that every time Google bot comes on our ecommerce website the crawl budget is used in crawling the most important content. This helps in pushing your website up the ranks. The Logic Loop SEO services experts are waiting to help you work in tandem with Google and rank as high as possible.

Speciale Invest, an early-stage venture firm focused on deep tech, has raised Rs 120 crore ($16 million) for its second fund topping the target of Rs 100 crore. The second fund is also double the size of the first fund. Managing partner Vishesh Rajaram said the amount above the target for the second fund comes from rich persons and family offices. The fund expects to invest in 18-20 startups in sectors including SaaS (software as a service), space-tech, robotics, photonics and alternative energy. Speciale Invest was started in 2017 by Rajaram, a former Ventureast principal, and Travel Yari co-founder Arjun Rao. The seed-stage investor launched its first fund in 2018 which raised Rs 60 crore. The first fund has invested in 14 startups so far, with an average deal size of sub-$500,000. Investments from the first fund include those in aerial mobility startup ePlane, space-tech startup Agnikul, VR and AR platform Scapic Innovations, and Frontdesk AI, a startup which offers automated customer service software. Deep-tech startups have drawn a lot of interest. Last month, Endiya Partners and Applied Ventures announced their first curated accelerator programme, which looks to support deep-tech startups. The same month, Hyderabad-based venture capital firm Inflexor Ventures rolled out a deep-tech fellowship programme to provide seed to Series A capital from its $100 million fund. Early-stage venture capital firms StartupXseed Ventures, Mantra Capital and Mela Ventures launched deep-tech funds last year.

4567 Pine Tree Drive has been a media darling since the construction of this modernist spec house was announced back in 2015 at the height of the last real estate boom.

Los Angeles-bred producer Ry Hill’s debut offering of 2022 arrives in the form of a granular edit of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen The Rain.” Hill capped off 2021 by joining forces with Teddy Beats for an imaginative, effervescent cover of Glass Animals‘ “Heat Waves.” Now, capitalizing on both nostalgia and sheer bass-induced horsepower, the 24-year-old has newly manipulated an all-time American classic. The Staring At The Sun artist told Dancing Astronaut, “I started generating some internet buzz years ago by uploading future-bass remixes to SoundCloud. And before I start rolling out singles ahead of my debut LP, I wanted to tap back into those roots. I gotta say, after witnessing Chris Lorenzo’s infectious take on ‘California Dreamin,’ I knew I had to take my first step into the tech-house space.” Released in 2020, Hill’s first-ever multi-track project, The Pretend EP, was a joint effort alongside co-producer Emerson Garnett. Evidently, Ry Hill’s debut solo album that he described as an “indie-house record” is officially underway. For updates on shows as well as the forthcoming LP, follow Ry Hill on Instagram. Oh, and stream the burgeoning DJ’s electrifying new remix of “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” below.

The New York Fashion Week shows held in September always seem to bring out the best of the best when it comes to street style and star-spotting.

More: Is New York Fashion Week Losing its Relevance? Fashion show front rows are a business in itself, and designers clamor to have A-listers lining their audiences, sometimes even paying for the privilege of having a major star on the guest list. That said, an emphasis on famous attendees over industry stalwarts can sometimes backfire, resulting in a front row packed with C-listers and former reality stars-turned-actresses who are sure to bring the paparazzi to the show. Here, we’ve rounded up some of the most notable movers and shakers in New York Fashion Week’s front rows thus far.

Reviews for the product - CP4500 Stereo Bus compressor for the '500' Lunchbox - Kit (Back to product) 13 Product Reviews - Average rating 4.9 / 5 (Best Rated | Worst Rated | Most Recent | Oldest) Click to review this product Cant believe I got it right the fist time! Rachansky - 11/04/2019 No rework. No headaches. No freakouts. Well detailed build guide and a great sounding unit. While I've never used the OG SSL this bad boy definitely wins over the UAD emulations for me! Easy build and great useability Daniel McM - 10/05/2019 A bit scared off by the component count and being the first time soldering on a PCB, it took me surprisingly only 8hrs to finish this build, although I highly recommend a good iron and following the instructions closely. The calibration worked great too. The sonic quality is very good to my ears and flexible for all different kinds of soundsources. It does subtle works for most of its uses, but this unit is also not meant to radically change your track! Just giving it the final polishes and nice overall glue. A No-Brainer Udo Terlisten - 15/03/2020 Very easy to build,easy use plus some nice extras (HF) compared to the originals. Sounds exactly the way I wanted it to hear. Have built two of them meanwhile.Looking at the kit price this is a no-brainer. Highly recommended! Creative Interpretation of the SSL4k Andi Jones - 22/11/2020 I Had only built a DI box and two preamps before getting this kit, so I was a bit nervous about critically ruining the project. No surprise: it did not work when I first tried to calibrate it. However, Jean-Pierre was so helpful in patient with helping me troubleshoot, and within a week it was working perfectly! Thank you so much J.P.! Now about the gear itself: I've never had the chance to work with a hardware SSL before, but I have used a number of good hardware compressors before, and many software emulations of an SSL, and this is one of the best compressors I've ever used. The short attack times are remarkably versatile (though an additional 60-100ms option would make the mastering engineer in me very happy). The release curve is super smooth in general, especially for a VCA. And the sidechain filters can turn this little box into a timbral balancing tool, as well. I have a feeling this will be on almost every project I come across for the foreseeable future. Great! Mikael - 24/11/2020 First of all, as a kit it is fantastic! The kit itself is a good quality kit, well designed and easy to build. Just follow the instructions (great instructions) and you will be good. The sound and functions are as good as you can get, you get the SSL sound and the features. Good work with this one! This thing is fantastic Susan - 17/12/2020 I have both a GSSL4000 with the DBX VCA modules as well as a Neve 33609, both are fantastic bus compressors, but I find that the Sound Skulptor 4500 compressor is my favorite. Neither he Neve or the GSSL have the high pass filtering or the capability of parallel compression. The high pass filter alone is worth the price of admission. This thing plays with the big boys and kicks sand in their face! And for the price, I am tempted to get a second for my Aux bus. It's fun to build this awesome glue compressor Constantin - 30/12/2020 For some time I had been tempted to start using 500 gear and also to start building equipment. Having built this compressor and enjoying its performance for the first time has been the perfect start for me. I am completely hooked now - because: This compressor can glue perfectly. from electronic music to pop music - from master sum to drum bus - everything I throw at it gets glued without destroying dynamics. If I had to decide again, I would always choose this stereo compressor for the characteristics and the features: side chain, highpass, wet/dry mix control - this compressor is just awesome in versatility and in getting results quickly. Now for building it - if you are patient, willing to work on it for a few hours/day for less than a week, and if you enjoy building stuff, you might be able to pull it off even as a beginner. Binge watch tutorials about soldering, learn using a voltage meter, buy good quality solder, temperature regulated iron, a pcb holding tool, a soldering mat, a good pair of cutters and tweezers, a desoldering pump and off you go! JeanPierre was super fast and helpful when I had a question and the kit was spot on. superior documentation, super thought out packaging, premium components and last but not least - a great design of the boards and the front. I highly recommend building and using this compressor. Excellent guide, great compressor Small Steps Mastering - 29/06/2021 Had a blast putting this one together. All the documentation was super helpful, especially the printed resistor colour code guide. Ran into some trouble upon testing, and with prompt responses from Jean-Pierre I was able to find an unsoldered SMD pin. Calibration was easy, and it sounds great. Love how this sounds on master bus duties, and the mix knob is truly the magic ingredient for this compressor. transparent, punchy, flexible! herrturtur - 03/01/2022 It was my first Sound Skulptor build and it was great fun - perfect documentation, I have to applaud JPK for his efforts! When I messed up a connector, JPK was of great help providing links for re-ordering part. He answered so quickly. I use the CP4500 on drum buss mostly, not on the mixbus. Compared it against UAD SSL4000 G Bus Compressor and it sounds a bit lighter, not that "gluey", but very punchy and more open. I was surprised how it worked as a buss compressor on backing vocals. Very transparent! Great unit. Great Kit Michael - 15/05/2022 This kit is a 5 out of 5 in every category. Quality parts, great design, comprehensive instructions, all at an attractive price point. Instant mix bus glue. The unit sounds great and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended. Love at first sight Tommy Hedin - 29/06/2022 I love everything about Soundskulptor. The documentation i excellent, the kits are very well designed in order to be easy to build. And the products bring excellent value for your money. The CP4500 is no exception. Every knob change the sound in a noticable way, and the result is almost always musical. This SSL-style buscompressor beats every plugin available (my opinion), and I use it on every song as a glue compressor in mastering. I just wished I have ordered this product years ago. Excellent! Paul Tietze - 12/07/2022 This is an extremely versatile and excellent sounding compressor. I bought this unit already assembled and could not be happier. It does the SSL Glue thing and much, much more. I like it even more than the original, More options and possibilities. Highly recommended! Incredible value and quality throughout Lee Campen - 20/02/2022 - Very high quality parts and components - Extremely well packed and organized - Excellent, detailed instructions - Thoughtfully laid out and designed - Fun to build if you have basic soldering skills - Best price for this circuit - Looks gorgeous! As my recording and mixing skills have grown, I have become increasingly interested in outboard gear. I have a few pieces of 19" rack gear but I have wanted to get into 500 series for the space savings. The issue for me has been the astronomical cost for quality gear. I have a good deal of experience building guitar effects pedals and amps so I was confident that I would do well building kits to fill my lunch box. After extensive searching I found Sound Skulptor and I was truly surprised to find this level of quality at a price that is realistic for me. The CP4500 really stood out to me as an almost too-good-to-be-true kit, so I took the plunge and bought it. Shipping to the US was surprisingly fast and when I opened the box I was immediately impressed with the packaging. Everything was expertly sorted and perfectly fitted into the custom cut foam internal packaging. Small parts and components came sorted into zip lock baggies and larger pieces were well protected. There was not a single scratch on the faceplate, knobs or meter, and after laying out every part, there was absolutely nothing missing. The PCBs are thick and of excellent quality. They are double sided and through-hole plated, and there were no discernible defects anywhere. The layout and space makes it very easy to solder. I never felt like I was at risk of a solder bridge or that the components were so close that I might melt the top of a cap etc. All of the IC sockets are the high quality mill-max style, which I greatly prefer. Resistors are 1% tolerance and they have nice thick leads. All box caps are WIMAs and all ceramic caps are MLCCs. There are NO poor quality passives in this kit. Everything is top notch. I highly recommend following the advice in the instructions to lay out all of the resistors, measure one from each set and mark the ammo reel tape. Then lay them out in order of resistance so you are less likely to accidentally misplace one. I did all resistors for all three boards before moving on to the taller components. Populating the resistors was by far the most tedious part of the build, and loading all of the tiny MLCC caps isn't much fun either, but the build really clicks along once you get through that phase. Setup and calibration was very straightforward and easy to do. All you need is some way to generate a 1kHz sine wave and a DMM. I have a function generator but you could use a synth from your DAW or look for the link in the instructions for an online resource. At the end of the process I ended up with a perfectly working, quality piece of gear that I am proud to have built and that I expect to use on my mix bus for everything! Once I have the money saved up I plan to build a pair of the EQP501s to go with it. I can't wait! So, is there ANYTHING not to like about this kit? I hate to admit that there is ONE sticking point. In my opinion, the control pots really let this kit down. Others have noted that they feel a bit wobbly, being that they are plastic shaft and the shafts are pretty long. I agree with that criticism. But not only do they wobble, they just don't have the silky smooth feel that I'm used to. Am I afraid that they might break. No. Do they perform their function? Absolutely. They just don't have the feel that conveys quality. If I were building this to sell to someone else I would consider drilling out the holes in the faceplate and panel mounting better feeling pots. Time will tell if this bothers me enough to change them. Honestly, I'll probably just keep them as they are. When you consider the fact that this unit is about 1/5 the price of the "real deal" and that, apart from the minor issue with the control pots, this unit screams quality, I can't recommend this enough. If you have successfully built at least one guitar pedal or similar project, you can do it. If you have never soldered before or if you aren't good at paying attention to detail you may want to pass or just buy one pre-built. It's still a phenomenal deal.

This is the new SouEast DX7 Bolang SUV for China, scheduled for launch on the Chinese car market in July. The SouEast DX7 Bolang, formerly known as the SouEast DX7, is the first SUV under the SouEast brand. But more is coming. A larger DX9 will launch in 2016 and a smaller DX5 will complete the line-up in 2017. Price for the DX7 Bolang will start around 100.000 yuan and end around 150.000 yuan. A well-designed vehicle, especially impressive between the C- and B-pillars. Some Hyundai influences maybe, but certainly not too much. The DX7 Bolang will be available with two four-cylinder petrol engines, both sourced from Mitsubishi: a 1.5 turbo with 154hp and 210nm, and a 2.0 turbo with 190hp and 250nm, both mated to a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The 2.0 turbo is exactly the same engines as the one found under the bonnet of the controversial Landwind X7 SUV. Size: 4537/1900/1700, wheelbase is 2700. The production version of the DX7 Bolang debuted on the Guangzhou Auto Show in November last year, based on the SouEast R7 Concept that debuted in April on the Beijing Auto Show. Lot of lines going on at the back. Exhaust tips nicely integrated in skid pad in bumper. Chromed roof rails look really cool but they do not seem very functional. Subtle window wing.

Cause I did it. Yup, it was me who opened the cabinet above the toilet, only to have a bottle of OPI Candy Cane Cutie come crashing down and shatter on my bathroom floor. I spent the better part of 30 minutes trying to get up as much as I can off the toilet seat, the toilet bowl, the tile, the door, the shower door, and the threshold. I gave up on the rug and just threw it away. I am about to google "getting red nail polish out of carpet" because, you see, just on the other side of this rug, where you can't see, is cream carpet. Now with red nail polish on it. I must admit that the Lexapro allowed me to say, "Hmmmm... wonder what my priorities should be? Toilet? Floor? Shower door?" It's nice not to freak the F out.

Following on from our purchase at this year's Premier Sales, the sire of our Purpussfull Filly, Saxon Warrior, has made headlines in Europe overnight. Courtesy of Breednet - €520,000 Saxon Warrior Filly Makes History at Tattersalls Ireand Media Release - Thursday May 19 For the second year in succession, the Tattersalls Ireland Goresbridge Breeze Up Sale produced an outstanding set of record-breaking results with a new record top price of €520,000, the first time in the sale’s history that the half million mark has been topped. Sale-topping Saxon Warrior filly from Causeway Queen. The vibrant action throughout the one-day session, the sale back at its Fairyhouse venue for the first time since 2019, produced a record turnover of €6,639,000, as well as a record number of six-figure lots at 11, including four lots that sold for €200,000 and over. It was also a best-ever average price of €38,155, a second-best median price of €22,000, and horses sold at 85 per cent clearance rate. The day’s cosmopolitan buying bench means that purchased lots from Europe’s most progressive breeze up sale are due to embark on racing careers in many different global locations including Dubai, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, the UK, and also in Ireland. Katie Walsh’s Greenhills Farm, who sold a previous Goresbridge Sale record-breaker when the Grade 1 and Classic-placed Frankel filly East topped the sale in 2018, repeated the feat this year with a filly by Saxon Warrior (Lot 151) from unraced Giant's Causeway mare Causeway Queen. She was sold on behalf of James Hanly’s Ballyhimikin Stud. The chestnut filly is this year’s third-most expensive European breeze up filly. She was bought by agent Stephen Hillen on behalf of a new client and she goes into training with Kevin Ryan. Hillen described the filly as “freakish” after her breeze on Wednesday. "She is a completely different shape to East, but this filly kind of reminded me of East’s breeze – it was almost freakish,” he enthused. “This filly is bred to go a mile plus or 1m2f, with her pedigree she should not be able to do what she is doing, and she is a big, raw individual. Hopefully, once she is able to go a mile, then her speed could be massive.” A delighted Walsh said: "I think everyone was quite surprised with the time that she did compared to the physical that she is. I was lucky enough to sell East to Stephen Hillen at the old Goresbridge venue and I hope this filly turns out as lucky. "I knew coming here that she was going to clock well, I had a fair idea that she is a tasty filly – all she had done is please me since I have had her. She has always been a straightforward filly with a great galloping stride and a great attitude. With these fillies it just comes so naturally to them, it is just different gravy.” Saxon Warrior (Jpn) Saxon Warrior will have his first Australian runners next season and is on the Coolmore roster this year at a price of $19,250. TASMANIA A STATE OF OPPORTUNITY A couple of years ago, Clanbrooke and our sister business organization Elite Racing Solutions, decided to test the waters in the Apple Isle. The State appeared on the verge of a comeback with increased prizemoney and an improved breeding operation with the influx of sires from the mainland. Together with our Trainer, Mark Ganderton, Brooke and Brent attended the MM Sales and came home with a NEEDS FURTHER filly. Needs Further is of course the sire of the Champion mare MYSTIC JOURNEY, winner of over $4m. before being recently retired. Our filly was subsequently named Far Away Hit and to date has a win and a placing from 4 starts. What is more emphatic however is that she has won only a few dollars short of $40000. The following year, we purchased an ALPINE EAGLE filly now racing as Monte Bianco. On Wednesday at her third start, she saluted at Launceston very impressively and took her earnings to almost $30000 from 3 starts. No doubt she is Melbourne bound in the near future for all her Victorian owners to go and see. This year we upped the ante by buying two colts - one by Stratosphere and the other by Needs Further. The Stratosphere is a close relation to our very own ARAPAHO MISS as well as MIAMI BOUND, DE LITTLE ENGINE etc. The Stratosphere colt is a full brother to the G3 winner DEROCHE - winner of $562000 and 13 races from 26 starts.We are finding the market in Tasmania far more conducive to our clientele and obviously - and luckily - we have been able to source nice types who have so far, trained on to be winners. Think about it - a great place to go for a weekend or a week's holiday. Easy to get to and the food and sightseeing is second to none. And a winner to boot! How good would that be? With the prizemoney now on offer down south, we will be looking at more purchases down there so why not join us. If you have interest in either of the colts mentioned, just contact Chris on 0419 176 992. GOOD LUCK MITCH It's the back end of March and it's ALBURY CUP time for many of our owners and of course for Mitch Beer. This is Grand Final time for the stable and Mitch will be represented by no less than 6 starters on Thursday and 9 on Friday. Quite an achievement for a Country trainer. What is more amazing however is Mitch's stats this Racing Year. Mitch is sitting in 5th place statewide in the Country Trainers Premiership. His stats of 26 wins ( 13.2% to runners ) and 43 placegetters ( 35% to runners ) compares very favorably with the leader of the pack - the well credentialed Kris Lees from Newcastle who has percentages of 17.6% and 41% respectively - no doubt from horses who cost a lot more and better bred than those in the Albury barn. Good Luck Mitch. GREAT START TO THE NEW YEAR What a difference it makes once Spring comes over the horizon and the footy is finished. Racing takes over and the good horses are back on the track and boy, do we need them at the moment in Victoria. After a great 20/21 for Clanbrooke, I thought I would give an overview of where we are headed in 21/22. Our star at present would be Regardsmaree ( x So You Think) – a 3 time city winner in the Autumn and now battling it out at the top level in Spring. Has not had a lot of luck in his races this prep but don’t sell him short. He will win a Stakes race before long. Well done to NicK Ryan who has emerged as one of the brightest young trainers in the state. Cindy Alderson has some handy ones including Newzeel Deal. NZD is an a quality Dundeel colt who is starting to progress through the grades and though it maybe next Autumn before he really shines, the indications are all there. Cindy also has Gabstar (x Star Witness) on her books and although this filly is injured at present, she could be a lovely staying filly next year. Mitch Beer has certainly been making a name for himself tucked away in Albury. Taking horses to Sydney for their very well positioned Highway races or coming to Melbourne is all in a week’s work for Mitch. Power Me Up (x Pins ) has won 4 of his last 5 races for us and has proved an excellent purchase off the Inglis Digital Sale platform for not much money. Jawwaal has returned from injury following a gallant second down the straight at Flemington and will win races whilst two of our younger purchases – Superadobe (x Excced and Excel) and Penny Stocks (x Capitalist) have both shown in the last couple of weeks that they have their hoof on the till. Our English import Perfect Illusion has returned from his first long spell looking like a different horse. Watch out for him over the next few weeks. Our best hope of G1 glory over the Carnivals could well be the Cable Bay filly Tiz My Bay with Robbie Griffiths. Running this coming week in the MRC Etherial S (G2), we expect she will go on to the VRC Oaks (G1) with our guarded confidence. Tony and Calvin McEvoy have a couple of very nice horses for us. Jucconi (x Nicconi) is unbeaten after two starts and Think Winning has just won his second race and looks set to go through the grades. The Ellerton/Zahra team at Flemington have turned up Shootoose (x Shooting To Win) who will take a little time but has already showed signs of being a city class horse. And of course we have our gallant grey jumper Mawaany Machine with Cairon Maher. The Machine had 5 starts in his debut season for 3 wins and 2 placings. No doubt we will be shooting for the big races next prep. And speaking of jumpers, Pat Carey has the So You Think stayer Think He Meituning up for a jumps programme next winter but before that he is back on track heading to the Jericho Cup at Warrnambool. And interstate we have a couple for everyone to follow. In Tasmania we have Far Away Hit (x Needs Further) who has won at her only start and is readying for the 3YO Cup next month and then the Classics after Christmas. In NSW we have the Mark Minervini trained Go Gazza (x Foxwedge) ready to rock and roll in the newly minted Four Pillars – another of that State’s Pop-Up races worth plenty of money. Have a great Carnival. 31.7.2021 Albury trainer Mitchell Beer will seal his first Southern District Racing Association premiership at Corowa on Monday in a year that has been like no other. The former Victorian trainer has several strong chances headed by last-start Narrandera Cup winner Power Me Up ($3.10 favourite on TAB) as well as the consistent Seventh Seal ($8). Beer has been training out of Albury for three years and being based in the border city has tested the resolve of all involved with the stable during COVID-19. “Frustrating is an understatement. We have had a good season, but the logistics of being based on the border has been difficult,” he said. “This will be my first SDRA premiership and it’s nice to have after a tough year. The stable has had more seconds (36) than winners (31) which is frustrating, but you can also look at that and know if the horses aren’t winning they are at least right there.” One horse that has been doing plenty of winning is Power Me Up (Pins) – a $20,000 purchase that continues to go from strength to strength. The gelding has won four of his past five starts and will carry the same weight (55.5kg) as he did when he won the Narrandera Cup. 31.7.2021 2020/2021 A Record Season Coming towards the end of the current racing season, Clanbrooke Racing has had a whirlwind set of results. With 4 winners in the last 10 days, we are pleased to announce we have had a record season. We now stand at 28 wins for 20/21 and we think we can get to 30 over the next 10 days. What has been really impressive during this last month is that the winners have come from 4 different trainers in 2 states. Tony and Calvin McEvoy produced Juconni to win at her first start at Pakenham - she is a rising 4YO who has been nurtured along by her patient owners but the wait is now worth it. Cairon Maher and David Eustice had Mawaany Machine up and running to win a 120 Hurdle at Pakenham on their big Jumps day. The ghostly grey led all the way to take his hurdle record to 2 wins and a third from 3 starts. The Grand National beckons. Power Me Up gave Mitch Beer and us another Country Cup at Narrandera on Sunday. This gelding , who was purchased on the On-line Inglis platform for only $20k, has now won 4 of his last 5 starts. And yesterday one of our oldest friends, Mark Minervini, saluted at Wyong with Go Gazza. Gazza is from the family of our wonderful G1 winner and now top-class broodmare Arapaho Miss. Our congratulations and thanks to all our valued owners who have helped to make this a record year and also to the wonderful trainers we have. We will have a full round-up of the year once we move into August but until then, there is still work to be done. July 15 2021 Think Bold is here to stay Andrew Eddy @fastisheddy Courtesy Former star jumper Bashboy (Image: Slickpix) Dean Humphries has always enjoyed exploring the conflicts and contradictions of the thoroughbred breeding game, so you can imagine his anticipation ahead of Saturday's 1800-metre Byerley Handicap at Flemington. Running though his mind before the race will be confusing images of sprint stars Nature Strip and Written Tycoon, interspersed with visions of marathon super jumper Bashboy. Carrying Humphries' Clanbrooke Racing's royal blue with gold stripes and hooped sleeves in the race will be first starter Think Bold, who presents a challenge to breeding experts as he makes his debut in the longest two-year-old race of the season. Think Bold is by star sprint stallion Written Tycoon out of Stakes-winning Perugino mare Bashful Girl, whose mother Strike High is something of a wonder in breeding circles. She is the full sister of Bashboy - one of the best long-distance steeplechasers in Australia in modern times - and her half-sister Strikeline is the mother of none other than flying speedster Nature Strip. "It's a great little pedigree but with Bashboy in it and Nature Strip, it's hard to know what you'll get," Humphries said. "He's thrown to the staying side rather than the brilliant side of the family but hopefully there is some sting in the tail, especially first-up. "We think it's an interesting experiment. "When you put a steeplechase horse like him that could go four miles up with Written Tycoon and Nature Strip, it's deadset interesting what you are going to get out of it." Humphries said he had long doubted the gelding would race as a two-year-old after he gained the horse from long-time friend and breeder Ian Macdonald. "We both thought he was just going to take a bit of time and thought he might not get to the track this time (preparation) but he has taken more steps than we had envisaged and I think he took (trainer) Phillip (Stokes) by surprise a bit too. "Once we put him on the track, he might be one of those horses that has white-line fever. He's gone ahead very quickly. "He's had two trials and while neither was fantastic, he improved sharply between them and I think Phillip thought we'd decide we'd find out what he's got. "He (Stokes) mentioned that he might start him over a mile and I thought 'That's OK, he might take him to Bairnsdale or Moe for a mile maiden', so my eyes did open up when he said we were going to Flemington on Saturday. "I think he (Stokes) wants to find out whether he can stay. "I am going to be happy for him to run home and run through the line and then look at him for the next 100 meres and see what he does there." Humphries and Clanbrooke Racing have syndicated a number of horses out of Bashful Girl, including Think Rich (Written Tycoon), Think Winning (Exceed And Excel) and Think Poised (Sepoy) but Think Bold is the most promising. "I think he's the best type even though he was big and awkward, he was the best type of all of them I've seen," he said. July 10 Jucconi wins on debut Courtesy Graham Fischer Trainer Tony McEvoy’s love of the stock of the stallion Nicconi is well known and another youngster broke through on race debut for the stable on the Pakenham Synthetic on Saturday, July 10. Jucconi, trained by Tony and Calvin McEvoy, led throughout to win the On Tour With Ab TV Three-Year-Old Maiden (1200m). Ridden by Jack Hill, and backed late from $9 into $4.40, the gelding coasted home two lengths clear of Cent To War ($11) with Imprinted ($9), a neck away third. “Right from day one he has always shown us something,” McEvoy said. “But he was just so immature, and really didn’t want to be trained. “That is why he was only having his first run today and will actually turn four in less than a month. “There was always something going wrong but finally we got him to the races. “In his gallops he has been showing a tendency to hang in, but jumping to the front today, he had the inside rail to guide him. “Once he led he was going to be hard to beat. But we won’t know until tomorrow whether we can go or, or he will have to have a break. “It has been a frustrating ride for the connections which includes a few of the Port boys headed by former player John Butcher. “Their patience was rewarded today and I’m sure they are going to have some fund with him once he completely matures.” Jucconi was a $125,00 yearling purchase at the 2019 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale. 13.05.2021 Welcome home Cliff When Clanbrooke first became involved with Syndication, our initial trainer was a young gun from a property at Narbethong not far from the shores of Lake Eildon. Cliff Brown had been training for a few years and had just started to make a name in the Industry. Those initial years saw such good horses as Cheviot and Markham both win the G1 South Australian Derby with the latter going on to record a great third in the Melbourne Cup behind Might and Power and Doriemus. This was followed by the classy Tarnpir Lane who took the G1 Rosehill Gns and Memsie S. along with a myriad of other Group placings. Then along came the horse that put Cliff and Clanbrooke together – Emission. Emission was a multi Group winner and placegetter and unfortunately three times G1 placed – in great races such as the AJC Queen Elizabeth S., VRC Emirates S. and the VRC Mackinnon S. It was not long after that Cliff was offered the opportunity to take up a contract in Singapore, a sojourn that lasted some 13 years in which time he trained another 8 G1 winners. But life has now turned a full circle and Cliff and family have returned to Victoria and taken up Training Stables on the course at Mornington. Clanbrooke has already bought into an All Too Hard yearling as we look forward to the next phase of Cliff’s journey. We have a group of wonderful trainers now at Mornignton. Besides Cliff, read Pat Carey, Matt Laurie, Jason Warren & Dean Krongold, Tony Noonan, stables that would suit every owner. So welcome home Cliff, let’s get back into sharing winners. 04.05.2021 MAWANNY SALUTES AT WARRNAMBOOL Congratulations Everyone on " The Machine's " great win at the Bool today, his first start over the jumps and doing it at the famous May Carnival was a beautiful tonic for us all. We Won the George Taylor Memorial....George was on the committee at Warrnambool for 22 Years and raced over 100 winners in his Ownership career....including being the Managing Owner of the great Galleywood who won the 1986 Grand Annual Steeplechase. George was awarded Life Membership of the Club in 1996 and was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in 2008. Mawaany looked a treat in the yard and was very relaxed from the time he arrived at the course. Even when racing in transit, he had his head on his chest, conserved his energy and dictated the terms in pace. Great to share it with Steve Pateman ( our trainer of Mapping as well ). A great heady ride and a wonderful training achievement to get a horse to win its first start over the jumps. Well done to Maher / Eustice Racing and their Team. Our Thanks also goes to Australian Bloodsock lead by Jamie and Luke. Clanbrooke has a strong association with them and it is great to share winners with their team. Enjoy the celebrations and we look forward to a new part of his career just beginning. Mawaany still has a bit to learn. He baulked at a couple of jumps and he kicked one over...but that means there is room for improvement. Cairon Maher told me after the race that he may now mix his jumping with a bit of flat racing as well. He was great on the flat today, he really stretched out in the straight when the jumping was over. Go Mawaany. Congratulations to all our 2019/2020 Owners We already have 2 Winners early in the new season and we look forward to building a new library to present to you in 12 months' time. We hope your horse/s are a part of it.

Choose two of the interface styles (described in Section 3.5) that you have experience of using. Use the interaction framework to analyze the interaction involved in using these interface styles for a database selection task. Which of the distances is greatest in each case? answer There is no single answer for this exercise, so we will provide an example of the style of answer that is suitable and the level of analysis that is appropriate. You should be aware that, although the term distance is used, we have not associated any real measures to any of the translations in the interaction framework. As a result, this analysis can only be informal and at this point is mainly informed by one's intuition and experience with various interface styles. As was stated in Section 3.2.3, assessment of any interaction with the interaction framework can only be relative to some task. For this example we will choose a common database selection task - selecting records from an online library database. The two interface styles we will analyze are a natural language interface and a command line interface. The task is to select a set of references from the library database that satisfy some search criteria. Once the task has been formulated in the user's task language (for instance, the user wants to see all of the books written by Alan Dix since 1990), that task must be articulated in the input language. A natural language interface style would allow the user simply to type in the selection query exactly as they think of it. The articulation distance is small both because it is easy to articulate (possibly even easier if a spoken interface is provided rather than typing), and because the coverage is total (the user is allowed to articulate anything as a query). On the other hand, for a command line interface, the limited vocabulary of the input language makes it more difficult for the user to articulate a task even though the limited language provides complete coverage in terms of possible queries allowed. The real difficulty for a natural language interface is how the system translates the input expression into the actual query that accesses the library records. This performance translation will be much easier for the command line interface since it may not even require any translation of an input expression, that language having already been constructed with the database engine in mind. Therefore, we can see that for a natural language interface the performance distance is greatest, whereas for a command line interface it is the articulation distance that is greatest. However, the above analysis only really deals with the execution translations. On the evaluation side, a natural language interface must try to present the results of the database query in the form in which the user phrased the question. This can in general be a difficult translation for the system as it attempts to answer questions in the style in which an arbitrary user has posed them. Having accomplished that, the observation by the user should be easy to perform. For a command line interface, there is no guarantee that the result of the query will be displayed automatically, and the user may have to request a display explicitly (and they may have to express how the display be formatted). Neglecting that point, presentation by the system is made easier, as the output language can be very constrained. Observation is made more difficult, as the user must translate the output into the terms of their original task formulation. For example, having asked for books by Alan Dix published after 1990, the user may have a difficult time locating author name and year of publication to determine if the resulting records match their expectations. For evaluation, a natural language interface has a greater presentation distance and a command line interface a greater observation distance. In general, therefore, we would expect that a natural language interface would be easier from the user's perspective but more difficult from the system builder's perspective. The opposite should hold for a command language interface. There are some issues that we haven't addressed in this example, such as displaying a large set of records that satisfy the query, and being able to reuse the output of one query as the input to another in order to compound searches easily. Since the performance translation is so difficult for a natural language interface style it is important for a natural language interface to present the results of the query in such a way that the user is able to determine if the system understood the original query in the way the user intended. This would involve the presentation translation reiterating both the user's query and the selected records simultaneously. In our example, since the user was interested in the author and date of publication, it would help if that information was prominently presented in the result set. We have not considered, either, what effect experience with the system provides. As users become more comfortable with the syntax and semantics of a command language, its perceived difficulty will decrease. Another problem is that a verbose natural language output may limit the number of records it is possible to display from a result set. The moral of the story is that despite their intuitive allure, such informal analyses as suggested by this exercise cannot be the last word on analysis of an interactive system. Ultimately, our judgements must be made more precise and concrete.

Just playing around with NinjaUI for a private project. It’s a nice stylish UI plugin for jQuery. It’s not that large and complex than jQuery UI. It has less feature and options but in my opinion the better UI design. One of the unique features are the symbols realized with web fonts. Take a look at it, but beware it’s still beta.

At the turn of the twentieth century, Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904) was instrumental in introducing Western readers to Japanese culture and literature. Raised in Dublin and a longtime resident of the United States, the writer, translator, and teacher arrived in Japan in 1890 and spent the rest of his life there. His writings from Japan became his most popular works, and he was famed not only as an interpreter of Japanese myths but also as a teller of strange and macabre tales. This volume offers an eerie collection of Hearn's memorable depictions of the folklore, superstitions, and traditions of old Japan. Its chilling tales of the spirit world are interwoven with nonfiction reflections on the country's idioms, Buddhist proverbs, translations of haiku, and the ritual uses of incense. The spooky stories are populated by a pilgrim who attempts to climb a mountain of skulls, a dying wife who bequeaths her rival a sinister legacy, a ghostly beauty who leaves the world of the dead to revisit her samurai lover, and other mysterious characters from Japanese folklore.

You’ve likely encountered disappointment at some point during your job search. Rejection is implied in most cases when you don’t hear back from an employer after submitting your application. Other times, you’ll get turned down after a few rounds of interviews. The sting of rejection can make plotting a path forward difficult for some job seekers. Do you keep pursuing that company as an employer? Do you try to follow-up with the hiring manager or recruiter? Or, do you cut your losses and move on? Before we get to those questions, we should talk about the importance of a healthy mindset during your job search. It’s a topic we touched on last year, but it’s especially important if your job search is at risk of being derailed by rejection. Don’t fall in love “I think a lot of people set themselves up for disappointment by falling in love with a particular job and telling people about it,” said Biron Clark, founder of Career Sidekick and a former recruiter. He’s written about this topic before. Instead of focusing on one job, you should keep applying to other employers and scheduling interviews until you’ve accepted a position. Rejection stings less when you have other opportunities on the horizon, said Clark, who is also among the 2019 class of LinkedIn Top Voices in Job Search & Careers. “Have an abundance mindset and not a scarcity mindset,” he told me. “Realize there are other jobs out there.” Rejection may not be your fault You should also keep in mind that being passed over for a job does not mean you lack the qualifications or skills to succeed in that position. Instead, you might have been eliminated from consideration based on an endless number of variables, said Clark. The salary you asked for may have been too high for the hiring manager, for example. Or, they may have already had a candidate in mind for the job. “There is just so much luck and randomness that goes into it,” he said. “There are things you’ll never know or see behind the scenes. So, don’t beat yourself up about it.” What to do once you get rejected Once you find out that you’ve been eliminated from consideration for a job, you have a few options. Clark said it’s not usually worth your time to try to change the employer’s mind. “I think there’s no harm in trying to get feedback,” he said. “It’s worth asking if there are things that you could have done differently.” If the recruiter or hiring manager is reluctant to give you that feedback, you can explain that it will help you as you progress in your job search. If they offer feedback voluntarily, be sure to listen to what the hiring manager or recruiter has to say. Clark calls that constructive feedback “gold” — especially if they’re a recruiter from an agency. “They typically only get paid if they place you in a job,” he said. “It’s in their best interest to pass constructive feedback along.” Fortunately, the doors to companies don’t often slam shut after rejections. In many cases, it doesn’t hurt to reapply after three to six months, said Clark. Also, you can keep a relationship open with a recruiter or hiring manager by asking to connect with them on LinkedIn and telling them to let you know if other positions open up in the future, he added. Don’t be afraid to take a day off Rejections can still sting quite a bit regardless of your mindset and how many other applications you have out in the world. If an email or a phone call that says you’ve been eliminated from consideration hits you hard, Clark said it’s OK to take the day to mentally reset yourself. Pushing yourself after a particularly crushing rejection could harm the quality of your work and end up hurting your odds of landing another job.

On Saturday 9th March, the Shine coaches took their Hotshots Level 1 team to a highly anticipated first competitive game of High 5 Netball against Crossbow Netball Club. The Shine Hotshots played well and won 2of their 3 games. From 11am-12:15pm it was the turn of the Shine Hotshots Level 2/3 team, who took on the challenge and won a game, lost a game and drew a game. Both Shine Hotshot teams played extremely well, especially considering they hadn’t played a match against another team before. Playing a mixture of positions allowed the girls to experience what it is like in both defence and attack, as well as the mid court. Once the ball had been turned in defence the girls implemented everything they had learnt in training to bring the ball down the court, using and opening space. The girls in all levels were passing using the correct technique making more difficult for the other team to intercept and gain possession. During our training sessions moving forward the girls are going to be learning how to create space within attacking play and deny space within defensive play. They will learn more about developing their techniques within shooting, passing as well as footwork movement. Overall the matches were an amazing experience for all of the girls and a great opportunity to be able to see the girls play against another team, we look forward to hosting the Shine Hotshots Netball tournament this evening against Henleaze Juniors and Cotham Gardens school.

Today, we will provide updates on our ETF Strategy. Our ETF Strategy algorithmically employs our systematic analysis of the US economy and financial markets to create a rules-based, quantitative portfolio. At Prometheus, we focus on understanding the underlying mechanics that drive market environments. We use fundamental economic and high-frequency financial data to understand these macroeconomic environments and codify how to best trade markets. This process creates a robust portfolio solution that attempts to provide high return/risk characteristics and high percentage positive ratios at the portfolio level, regardless of the economic environment. Subscribe below so that you never miss out on our systematic insights into markets and portfolio strategy: Subscribe For those following ETF Strategy, please note that we have upgraded the strategy over the last few weeks. The core outlook embeded in the strategy has not changed, but addtional risk management signals have been layered in, which may result in some positioning differences. We ended this week with a significant bid for the dollar, resulting in the dollar having the best risk-adjsuted performance of major assets classes: Equities and commodities struggled this week, with equities roughly flat and commodities in the red at the end of the week. Treasuries also did not see the support of systems have been looking for, ending the week down 0.3%. Amdist this risk-off, choppy asset pricing, the dollar continued to shine. These market moves came together to increase the market regime pricing of tightening liquidity conditions, i.e., an environment where funding liquidty dries up in both the real and financial economy. We show our market regime monitors below: Our monitors shows that the primary impulse in markets is the pricing of tightening liquidity conditions, followed by elevated odds of stagflationary nominal growth. The regime-expected returns for most traditional assets classes, i.e. stocks and bonds, remains extremely poor in this environment, and we show this below: While we have seen counter-trend moves in markets recently, our system continue to tell us that we remain on a downwards trajectory for growth, inflation, and liquidity. The combination of these factors continues to support the dollar and cash as an asset allocation relative to risk assets. Nonetheless, short term equity market momentum has moved counter to our core positions, resulting in losses. However, our systems continue to tell us that the fundamental trend in the economy is downwards. We show a few gauges of the same below: Our high-frequency growth impulse offers a timely insight into the prospective path of incomes and PMIs. Our propreitary gauge uses measures of the return on capital, the cost of capital, and the income shocks to estimate the “impulse” to growth: This pressure on the growth impulse is resulting a deterioration in real income: And, is sowing the seeds for further labor market deceleration: Therefore, while we may see counter-trend moves in the short-term, the trajectory for real growth remains lower. Resulatantly, our systems continue to tell us to remain positioned for weaker growth, elevated (but decelarating) inflation, and much weaker liquidity conditions. Netting out these factors, our systems are positioning our ETF Strategy as follows, at the asset class level: As we can see above, our ETF Strategy is now aggressively allocated to Treasuries and the Dollar, while gaining inflation hedges. The systems have also flipped from net short positioning in equities to net long positions in equities and credit, they are mostly looking for relative value withing the equity sector. As the security level, we show the ETF Strategy positioning below: Stocks: SPY (4%), XLP (-4%), XLY (3%), XLC (-4%), XLV (4%), XLB (-4%), XLI (4%), XLK (3%), XLF (-3%), XLU (4%), XLE (-2%) Commodities: UNG (1%), GLD (5%), PALL(2%) Fixed Income: GOVT(11%), TLT (4%), IEF (8%), MBB (11%), HYG (7%), TIP (9%), Currencies: UUP (15%) On a year-to-date basis, the ETF Strategy is now in the red. This is primarily a function of our sharing ETF Strategy positions without risk controls, i.e. without stops or intra-day changes, as it would be unfair to those using the strategy as a base. The majority of losses came during a single week (6/26), where equities rallied significantly versus our positions. We plan on developing avenues to provide our users methods to risk manage our strategies in real-time. However until then we continue to recommend managing positions with stops. Below, we show the ETF Strategy performance year-to-date: As we can see above, the majority of losses were sustained by the ETF Strategy due to gap risk, wherein positions went against the strategy aggressively intraweek. Therefore, while gap risk many move markets against our strategies from time to time, our systems remain likey to generate returns over the course of the economy cycle. We show the full sample history of the ETF Strategy below: We continue to be in a challenging environment for real economic growth, and markets are likely to feel this further as liquidity drains from the system. Stay nimble.
