'Creating a simulated, learning environment', Oct 18, 2017
Boasting a mock operating theatre, hospital ward and intensive care unit, the new £28-milliion Health Campus is a phenomenal resource that will allow students to learn real life skills in a clinical setting..
"One of the key outcomes to creating a simulated, learning environment is to ensure that it is equipped to the same standard and specification of the clinical area it is representing.
Tasked with procuring a diverse range of clinical, educational and simulation equipment, Jane Nicklin (a Sim support consultant) was not only working within the constraints of a University budget, but was also faced with the significant challenge of a comprehensive wish list from the differing fields of study. As a result, a cost-saving tactic was to try and source quality pre-owned equipment from a reputable company.

Bonjour my lovely MOers how the devil and what's new in the hood?
Please let me know how everything is going with your wedding plans? What are you finding difficult at the moment, what's your biggest worry?
So following on from my last design board, titled Chili Love, I now bring you the next in the series called Wild Love!This is a design board for one of my clients getting married in a marquee later this year in a really special place! I've tweaked it a bit for you guys so the actual design for my clients is a little bit different.
Wild is the main word to describe this, but other words would be botanical, floral, colourful, meadow, country, and one I've thrown in… scrumptious as it's a floral lovers heaven!
And as I'm a floral lover this is my heaven!Basically we're looking at going a bit crazy with the florals, and want to create a magical canopy of hanging flowers as well as big colourful arrangements dotted everywhere, and anywhere!
I really love botanical illustrations, so we're creating all the stationary with this in mind and mixing them with tonnes of colour! Not to mention my Mum's favourite china set – The Portmeirion Botanic Garden, which works perfectly with this design!
Colours are a mix of wild meadow colours, mostly reds, greens, purples and blues but with some other hints thrown in the mix! The aim is wild colour; are you seeing a theme here?
It's just going to be a whimsical feast for your eyes! Take a look below to see what I'm creating…
In old times, there seem to have prevailed the most curious fancies concerning these blinds.
One voyager in Purchas calls them the wondrous "whiskers" inside of the whale's mouth;* another, "hogs' bristles"; a third old gentleman in Hackluyt uses the following elegant language: "There are about two hundred and fifty fins growing on each side of his upper CHOP, which arch over his tongue on each side of his mouth."
*This reminds us that the Right Whale really has a sort of whisker, or rather a moustache, consisting of a few scattered white hairs on the upper part of the outer end of the lower jaw. Sometimes these tufts impart a rather brigandish expression to his otherwise solemn countenance.
As every one knows, these same "hogs' bristles," "fins," "whiskers," "blinds," or whatever you please, furnish to the ladies their busks and other stiffening contrivances. But in this particular, the demand has long been on the decline.
It was in Queen Anne's time that the bone was in its glory, the farthingale being then all the fashion. And as those ancient dames moved about gaily, though in the jaws of the whale, as you may say; even so, in a shower, with the like thoughtlessness, do we nowadays fly under the same jaws for protection; the umbrella being a tent spread over the same bone.

Supreme Court justices hear "contraception mandate" challenge
Mary Wilson, Capitol Bureau Chief | 03.26.14

United States Supreme Court Building
U.S. Supreme Court justices have heard arguments in a case that puts the federal Affordable Care Act's so-called "contraception mandate" under the spotlight, as well as the rights of for-profit corporations.
Two family-owned businesses say they'll have to violate their religious beliefs to comply with a federal requirement that employee health care plans cover certain kinds of birth control.

Conestoga Wood Specialties, a Mennonite-owned business based in Lancaster County, has joined with the Christian family-owned Hobby Lobby crafts stores and affiliated book stores. Owners of both companies say they should get a religious exemption from providing certain contraception in their employees' health care plans.
Lawyers argued in court Tuesday about whether for-profit corporations can claim religious exemptions to federal law. Justice Elena Kagan said if the court rules for Conestoga Wood and Hobby Lobby, religious objectors will "come out of the woodwork" to challenge a number of federal laws. But Paul Clement, the lawyer for challengers, said the court can narrowly define who can claim a religious exemption -- for example, not extending such a definition to include publicly-traded corporations with shareholders.

Some liberal justices questioned how a for-profit corporation could be deemed to exercise religion, especially if owners are split on the subject. But Justice Antonin Scalia said it's simple - "whoever controls the corporation" decides if the corporation is religious.
The government's lawyer, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, said providing women the full range of birth control should be considered of utmost importance, and if the two challengers win, their female employees will lose statutorily guaranteed rights.
Clement said the government can ensure access to such contraception methods without involving employers at all, by setting up a program that bypasses employers completely. But Verrilli contends employers may object later if they are even minimally involved -- for example, having to sign a form to let workers obtain certain birth control methods.
"I think we should have a good outcome, but I've been surprised before in this case," said Randy Wenger, a lawyer for Conestoga Wood. He said he's been with the case "since day one."
"If we just switched the scenarios around, sometimes that makes it easier for people to understand what's at stake with them," Wenger said. "Mennonites are conscientious objectors to military service... imagine if Conestoga Wood were being forced during wartime to provide components for military service and the government were saying, 'you're a corporation... your religious liberty's not implicated because we're only telling your business to do this."
"In a free country," Wenger continued, "shouldn't there be some escape valve where we're not forcing people to do things that violate their most basic convictions?"

Sibling rivalry! Beyonce leads field with SEVEN NAACP Image Award nominations... and will face off with sister Solange for female artist gong
It can hardly be called much of a sibling rivallry.

Beyonce received seven nods, including entertainer of the year, outstanding female artist and best album, for Lemonade.

Beyonce's competitors in the entertainer of the year category are Viola Davis, Regina King, Dwayne Johnson and Chance the Rapper.

Making Lemonade: Beyonce is leading the field with seven NAACP Image Award nominations
Birth of a Nation filmmaker Nate Parker and Atlanta TV series creator Donald Glover each earned nominations as writer, director and stars of their respective projects.
Director Parker's success comes despite being embroiled in controversy over a 17-year-old rape case, despite the fact he was acquitted, after it emerged the alleged victim had committed suicide.
Competing with Birth of a Nation for best movie are Fences, Hidden Figures, Loving and Moonlight.
On the small scree Atlanta, Black-ish, Insecure, Survivor's Remorse and The Carmichael Show are fighting it out for comedy honors.
Imagine that: Solange has five nods, including for female artist and best album

American Civil Liberties Union
For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation's guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and the laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.
Whether it's achieving full equality for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people; establishing new privacy protections for our digital age of widespread government surveillance; ending mass incarceration; or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion; the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach.
We have grown from a roomful of civil libertarians to more than 1 million members, activists, and supporters across the country. The ACLU is now a nationwide organization with a 50-state network of staffed affiliate offices filing cases in both state and federal courts. We appear before the United States Supreme Court more than any other organization except the U.S. Department of Justice.
In addition, we work to change policy as well as hearts and minds. Our Washington Legislative Office lobbies the U.S. Congress to pass bills that advance or defend civil liberties and defeat those that do not; our affiliates work in state houses across the country to do the same; and we use strategic communications to engage supporters on the most pressing civil liberties issues of our time. The defense of America's core liberties cannot rely on the courts alone. Politics and public opinion matter too.
The ACLU is nonprofit and nonpartisan. We do not receive any government funding. Member dues as well as contributions and grants from private foundations and individuals pay for the work we do.
With more than a million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C. to safeguard everyone's rights.

I highly recommend Bethany and The Garage, and can't wait until my next appointment!" -Brian A.

Cardiff snub Tigers' McCormack bid
Hull have had a bid rejected for unsettled Cardiff striker Ross McCormack.
The Tigers have been heavily linked with the 22-year-old Scot in recent weeks, who recently signed a new four-year contract and who Cardiff are thought to value at around £4million.
Hull manager Phil Brown told the Hull Daily Mail: "We've made our move, we've put a bid in for Ross McCormack but the bid has been rejected."
He added: "Hopefully we can agree terms between the two clubs and the player still but we won't raise what we've bid because we think it's a good offer."
McCormack was quoted earlier this week saying he feared Cardiff were pricing him out of a move to a Premier League club but later backtracked on the remarks.
Hull are keen to add more firepower to their squad ahead of the start of the Barclays Premier League season on August 15.
Former Motherwell striker McCormack caught the eye last season with 21 goals in 38 Coca-Cola Championship appearances for the Bluebirds.
Hull on Thursday completed their first signings of the summer by bringing in midfielder Seyi Olofinjana from Stoke and Villarreal striker Jozy Altidore on loan.
Former Wigan striker Henri Camara is currently on trial with the Tigers while a bid for defender Habib Beye has been accepted by Newcastle.

The Vibes & Scribes Lee Swim
Originally held in 1914, the annual Vibes and Scribes Lee Swim in Cork has become one of the top open water swimming events in Ireland. The course runs through the centre of Cork City, with a distance of around 2 kilometres (1,700m downstream and 300m upstream).
Starting from a specially erected platform at the entrance of the old distillery premises on the North Mall, the contestants swim under all the bridges of the North Channel with the flow of the river Lee until they round the Port of Cork Customs House. They will then continue against the flow of the river to the finishing pontoon in front of the Clarion Hotel.
Most of the swimmers compete for age group prizes, some raise money for local charities and a good number just swim for the enjoyment of the day and the cheers of family and friends. For more information visit their Facebook page here.

On December 5th, Exit Tunes' first official Vocaloid, "MAYU" was released. MAYU is a fairly unique Vocaloid who has an officially designated "yandere" character trait. In fact if you look closely at her box art you will notice the not so subtle axe she is holding in her other hand. Mayu's outfit is inspired by "lolita-style" fashion, and the trim of her dress is of course a keyboard. Some of her other notable features are her earrings which are made to look like bluetooth headsets and the speaker on her hat. I also really love her hair, which turns into a prismatic rainbow as it trails down her back! I can't say I'm a big fan of yandere's, especially those like Gasai Yuno, but the whole idea of super cute girl like this with such a personality opens up alot of creative and fun possibilities. And besides, there is no requirement that people MUST make yandere songs with her, so we can expect plenty of normal songs as well.
So far I have been quite impressed with her voice which can carry emotion quite well and sing a variety of soft and loud styles. After hearing another classic UtataP troll song featuring MAYU, "An Earnest One-Sided, Hoping to Make it Bear a Little Happiness", I started really looking forward to her release. I really does fit her so well, as you can see below:
A few days later, we got our first look at DixieFlatline's SUPER CUTE interpretation of MAYU's personality in "A Lie and A Stuffed Animal" (A song which also features her offcial stuffed rabbit "Usano Mimi"). A warning before you watch: This song will be stuck in your head for days! "Wippa-Wippa-Win"
With my excitement building with these two songs, I decided to go ahead and translate all the promotional PVs released by producers as part of the "MAYU SPECIAL 2CD" set that accompanies her software in a package deal on Amazon and CD Japan. In fact it got me so excited that I decided that MAYU would be the first Vocaloid3 I purchased myself. I bought Miku earlier this year but I think it would be nice to own a new V3 voice when I am slowly trying to master the art of making Vocaloid music.
If you are interested in learning more about MAYU, don't forget to check out more information on her VocaloidWiki page. MAYU's bundle, which includes the software and 2 CDs can be found on Amazon and CDJapan for about 133USD.
Also if you would like to see more translated MAYU songs, don't forget to check out my MAYU Release Collection playlist which features 16 MAYU songs counting the 2 you see above. The playlist includes:
1. "Our Beginning" by FuwariP
2. "A Tiny Chrysalis Within the Cocoon" by otetsu
3. "Only for you" by Ryu
4. "I wish" by DJ UTO
5. "farewell blue" by add9
6. "The Guardian of Solitude" by NatsuP
7. "Blue" by 164/203Soundworks
8. "A Ribbon of Sudden Evening Showers" by MikitoP
9. "From A Dark Blue Sky" (Or "Like Distant Mountains") by OwataP
10. "Escape from Dystopia" by CosmoP
11. "Formalin Sea" by DeadballP
12. "Our First Step" by DaifukuP
13. "Star Bright" by Papiyon
14. "Blood-Stained Switch" by mothyP
Please give MAYU a warm welcome and look forward to her future songs!

Getting divorced is hard on you and harder still on your children. Here's a story from a mother who was pleased to have chosen collaborative family practice for her divorce...
I know Chris is a sensitive child. I remember when he was 10 and I picked him up from school he asked, as he always did, "How's PC?" (PC, short for "pussy cat"). Unfortunately, PC had died of feline flu so I had to stop the car and tell him. I tried to do it as sensitively and gently as I could. The outburst was both instantaneous and shocking. His immediate reaction was to tell me that if he hadn't punched his little friend "Hunt" in the face then PC wouldn't have died. Now how obvious and logical is that? It clearly is when you're 10.
I got to thinking, well, if Chris thinks that his cat died because of some childish squabble he'd had at school how much more will he be blaming himself for Dan not coming home in the evenings any more?
I had been horrified one night when I knelt down by his bed to kiss him goodnight only to find myself kneeling on a bag containing something lumpy and very painful. When I opened the bag I found all my bits and pieces of jewellery in there. "What's this Chris?" It transpired he'd overheard his dad telling one of his friends that he knew that I would be taking "all" of Dan's money. Clearly Chris thought that if he gave my jewellery to Dan that would be an appropriate way to redress the balance between his parents.
Dan's not a bad man - clearly a little misguided - well, misguided enough
to have left me anyway, but we all make mistakes after all. I dearly wanted to tackle him about having opened his mouth in front of Chris but I knew it would end in disaster where both us would take the moral high ground and end up shouting at each other and then feeling rotten.
So I talked to my solicitor about it and he explained about "Collaborative Family Practice" - where Dan and I could sit down with our Lawyers together and work out the problems. If we felt it would be useful, we could also be referred to a Family Consultant (Counsellor/Psychotherapist). We could talk in a safe environment about the issues, and get professional help and guidance together. We could work out a financial solution so that Dan could stop worrying about me taking all of his money
as well! And anything else which was bothering us - great!
And do you know it worked! It wasn't always easy - but we got through it and at least all three of us - Dan, Chris and me still have a working relationship. I can't help but wonder how different life might be for our son Chris, if I had not resisted the temptation of arguing and blaming Dan for our son's worries.
To find out more about Collaborative Family Practice contact a collaborative professional in your area via the links on this website.

I remember as a young boy, being trained to be an acolyte in my home congregation. In some ways it was exciting; but in others it was frightening—filling a child with exceeding amounts of anxiety over something (in my opinion) as simple as lighting candles. Though those who instructed me on acolyting had probably intended to highlight the reverence of this important role in worship—hoping to shape a youngster's faith in life-giving ways—between my immaturity and the fear of being scolded (based on other experiences in that place), it honestly was either something done with little thought or given such great thought that the rest of worship was overshadowed by it. Vividly, I remember the white robes, white gloves, bronze candlelighters, synchronized lighting and extinguishing, and sitting alone in the front pew. I'm sure there were times when I enjoyed being an acolyte—I was one of those 'weird' kids who was eager to participate in church. Yet, I also know there were times when I wanted nothing to do with it—and that was it.
Aside from worship, I also recall hearing and repeating the word reverence countless times as a Boy Scout. In the oft recited Scout Law, we would monotonously say: "A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent." There were a few times as a scout when conversations regarding faith came up; but mostly reverence meant we gathered each week for our meetings at a Roman Catholic Church across town, and our troop Chaplain (a position I held a few times) offered a short prayer to begin our time together. Despite my upbringing in the church and basic awareness of the word, reverence was something I still hadn't considered too deeply in my adolescence. At best, for a long time (and for better or worse) reverent was synonymous with religious. I had encountered some very mean and downright disturbing religious people. If that was what it looked like and meant to be reverent, I'm not sure I wanted anything to do with it.
My first January in seminary, I went with a group of classmates to Israel/Palestine for an interim study and to see firsthand the Holy Land. It was there—thousands of miles away—in a place and culture far different than anything I had ever experienced before, that I came face-to-face with a reverence that was new and in many ways enticing for me. Welcomed into the place (Church of the Holy Sepulchre) attributed to Jesus' death and burial, I remember the smell of incense filling my lungs and a presence resting upon me—drawing me to silence and stillness, peace and prayer. Another time, invited into a mosque to share in a daily prayer time, I remember taking off my hat and shoes, washing my face, hands, and feet before entering into a space that felt special and symbolic and taking a humble position of obeisance. Standing before the Western Wall of the Old Temple, I remember covering the crown of my head with a kippah, resting my hands on the ancient stones, and being filled with a trust that God was listening to my deepest stirrings even if I could not find the words to speak. I'm not sure I within myself was reverent, but in each of those places I felt overcome by something beyond myself that drew me to think, speak, pray, and respond with something resembling reverence.
Even now, I talk from time to time with friends who are also colleagues about our ministry contexts. Inevitably, we'll differ on how certain aspects of worship should be approached or to what height they should be held. Each of us has our own take on reverence/piety, diverging on where and to what extent. In visiting with those both within and beyond the congregation, it is always fascinating to see where and how others place reverence. Many of those recovering from negative and harmful church experiences, though they are giving corporate worship a second chance they do so functioning with little to no (intentional) reverence—which I find understandable. When visiting other places of worship, my confirmands and I will discuss signs of reverence we see demonstrated and how such signs of personal faith make us feel. With that, I encourage the students to share in some of these reverent acts out of respect for those welcoming us into their worship. Perhaps in the participation they might be drawn to a new viewpoint they would have otherwise missed.
I wonder sometimes: Should I push more reverence for our youth to demonstrate in worship? Am I being any less faithful of a pastor if I don't make it explicit for others? Do I encourage confirmands to think about it and consider what is most meaningful for them, or do I let them come to it (or not) on their own—trusting the Holy Spirit to guide and enlighten them? Neither wanting to make reverence a negative for others nor operating with an "anything goes" mentality, how does one walk the line of inviting others in to ponder and practice reverence and prayerfully wrestle with what works for each person? Should a pastor push a high reverence, even if they themselves don't hold to such personally? Or, is reverence in the eye of the beholder? At the end of the day, does Christ look upon our reverence as anything more than something nice but not crucial? Or is one's faith really so hinged on how a person approaches certain parts of the faith? I pray—whatever the answers to these questions may be—that God continues to work in and through me, using even my struggles with reverence as a means to point to Christ Jesus. May God's grace, love, and forgiveness be greater than any expectations of how we enter in to worship.

The romantic and playful evening of iMove_2.0: iCandy has come and gone, so now I must simply report on what you missed. The multiple dance routines took place in a large open warehouse. My wife, Terry, and I were the first to enter. Brian Feldman was on hand to offer any crowd control that might be needed. There was no assigned seating. As a matter of fact there was just one couch, so for the duration of the evening people milled about gathering in different areas of the warehouse to watch the various dances. I said hello to Zac Alfson who was busy seeing if he could get his tweets up on the big screen. I think he also was taking photos with his phone all night.
What I loved about the show is that art truly imitated life in this open and vibrant setting. The dancers between dances, would mill about the room checking their iPhones or chatting playfully on old telephones with cords! It was fascinating because many of the audience members were themselves tweeting or checking Facebook status updates. They bowed reverently to the glowing information presented on palm sized screens. Terry can be seen checking her iPhone to the right. A screen on the far wall scrolled tweets and movies were projected on large seamless walls. A kissing booth was set up but it offered no actual privacy so I think it went unused. The Twitter bird icon was animated, flying about the room on the walls. Love letters and long streamers with love notes and hearts were everywhere. I picked up a strawberry flavored heart lollipop and put it in my pocket for later.
I sat on my portable stool next to Genevieve Bernard, the choreographer, and I heard her say "Nice choice" when a dancer had to adjust her movement to avoid running into the crowd. Genevieve said she was nervous right before the event because she was concerned people might not understand this open playful way of presenting a performance. Once she saw everyone was mingling and sipping wine, she relaxed and enjoyed the show. She even went out of her way and got me a red wine while I sketched. I spilled a little on the sketch in the upper left hand corner but I don't think it hurt anything.
Doug Rhodehamel, an amazing local artist, stopped over and said hello. I have been trying to arrange to sketch him hard at work on his Spore Project. He explained that there might be a mushroom making party next week sometime, which would offer the perfect sketching opportunity.
My favorite dance routine of the evening involved three dancers who began the dance seated in three chairs. Two of the dancers, Leah Marke and Amanda Oost Bradberry, were constantly drawn to each other in romantic embraces circling and becoming closer, while the third dancer, McClaine Timmerman, would try and get close to the couple while never fully becoming part of the couples dance. In the end she remained alone, her staccato movements reaching towards the heavens as if imploring, yet never answered.

Jarrett: There are SIX WAYS Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe and Yates are in 'SERIOUS legal jeopardy'
(National Sentinel) Deep State: Attorney and Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said during an appearance on Sean Hannity's program Wednesday night that he believes current and former FBI and Justice Department officials are in "serious legal jeopardy" over procedures they used to justify spying on the Trump campaign.
Jarrett explained why he believes former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and former acting Attorney General Sally Yates, may be in trouble.
"Who do you see now is in serious legal jeopardy?" Hannity asked Jarrett regarding revelations contained in the FISA memo released by the House Intelligence Committee detailing how officials used the unverified "Trump dossier" to obtain a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
"I think James Comey has signed off on the [FISA warrant], Rod Rosenstein who signed off on it, Andrew McCabe signed off on it," replied Jarrett.
"Sally Yates, as well," he continued.
"Using a fake document as an officer of the court to convince just to spy on on an American citizen is six different crimes," he said.
Jarrett said the four alleged committed "abuse of power, false and misleading statements, perjury, it's major fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and obstruction of justice."
"Those are the crimes and people need to be prosecuted," he said.

Leviathan Wakes was a Belter punk detective story in space opera clothing, and entertaining as hell, entertaining enough for me to set aside the books I was intending to read next and plunge right into the sequel. So what's the sequel, Caliban's War?
Man, the sequel is pretty much a horror novel with a sprinkling of military fiction in space opera clothing, innit? In fact, on reflection, it reminded me more than a bit of two favorites: the earlier Alien films, and Paul Elard Cooley's horror/petroleum punk The Black novels and, of course, Scott Sigler's Infected series. In fact, imagine a possibly omnipotent, physics-defying combination of those three menaces and set it in a human-settled solar system and you've pretty much got the protomolecule that is the main background threat of the Expanse series thus far.
So while I enjoyed meeting up with (almost) all of the characters I'd come to enjoy in the last novel, and my introduction to three new ones, it was really the horror/suspense elements of the plot, and the characters' (largely post-traumatic) reactions to them, that really kept me advancing the pages of Caliban's War. Especially the reactions. This book so successfully evoked the PTSD experience (at least as experienced by Your Humble Blogger) that it actually gave me quite a bit of trouble mid-novel. I won't say I had a full-blown attack, but I was pretty much a mess for the middle third of the story. Part of me is very upset about this, because triggering someone's PTSD is not at all nice, but the rest of me admires the effectiveness this had in absolutely freaking riveting me to what I was reading.**
But so, your mileage may vary there. A lot of people have whined that this book isn't as good as its predecessor (and they're not totally wrong in that lots of it does rehash/recycle elements from LW, right down to the Find the Missing Girl plot), but I don't see it. I was able to put the first one down, sometimes for days. This one, this one I barely slept.
But I wasn't just scared, reading CW. I also just enjoyed. I really dig all the characters from the first novel that carried over into this one (though I sure do miss [REDACTED]), and the new ones introduced here are just as great.*** Everybody gets a very satisfying character arc (well, except maybe Naomi, who has diminished into a stock girlfriend character who only occasionally gets to do something kind of important behind the scenes with her magical technological skills. Fix that, Coreys!) and their adventures with the Caliban-esque**** (in that they are supernaturally powerful beings imperfectly subjected to human will, only to of course throw off their chains and raise hell) protomolecular monsters are amazing, of course.
There was something else, though, that really fascinated me in CW, and that's the depiction of how Ganymede functions, and how it falls apart. Here the two-headed Corey monster really went to town, fully and convincingly realizing a complete world, a total artificial ecosystem on which not only its immediate inhabitants depend but on which most of the Outer Planets and the Belt do, too, and then tearing it all down in excruciating detail. It's kind of like watching a giant domino display of doom going down. Yes, I realize I'm probably a big ol' jerk for enjoying this aspect as much as I did. But I'm sure I'm not alone.
Now excuse me. I have to start on the next one. Because of [REDACTED] showing up at the end and not being [REDACTED] but instead [REDACTED]. Dude!
*Which, Bob help me, I always want to type -- and say -- as Leviathan's Wake. I'm sure there's something Freudian there but I don't care. It's just something that simultaneously amuses and annoys me.
**Much as in a full-blown event, I knew perfectly well that nothing was actually happening at the time and I was perfectly safe in my comfortable home and so was everybody else I care about, but knowing intellectually that nothing is wrong is not enough to stop me feeling it in my gut and shaking and crying, or to let me tear myself away from the horror show in my head. Because who wants to stop and do EMDR while reading a freaking sci-fi novel?
***Though man, the TV show sure did improve on Avasarala (even as the TV writers had to create her story out of whole cloth for the show, because she's not in the parts of the books that the first TV season covered). Not just because Shohreh Aghdashloo is fantastic and lends the character considerable gravitas and grace, but because she had to do something to get her point across besides swearing. I have no particular problem with cursing usually, but book-Avasarala relies entirely too much on the harmless-looking little old lady shocking everybody with F-bombs to get her point across. Jeebus!
****Read your damned Shakespeare.

Hey folks, coming into the city this morning there was a thick mist that had covered the top of the Space Needle. I couldn't help smiling as it was right on trend for my Pattern Occurring Colour Me Happy- Chill post. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of projects, client relations and new connections. This weekend I am seeking a little chill. Maybe some paddle boarding on the lake or a dip in the ocean. I seriously need too chill out. Aren't these prints so placid? Take it in for a minute and then back to the To Do List.

Improving Site Performance using Tag Management Systems
It is a fact: tags slow down web pages. With the explosion of digital marketing vendors, the number of tags on pages has grown exponentially in the last few years. It is now common for organizations to use dozens of digital marketing tags on their site. This creates a challenge for IT teams that need to continuously deploy page tags while maintaining site performance thresholds.
Tag management solves this problem. By deploying a number of methodologies, tag management improves site performance while allowing organizations to deploy digital marketing tags in an agile way. This white paper provides a description of such methodologies and their benefits.Topics Include:
Tealium is the leading provider of tag management systems, allowing business users to manage their analytics and digital marketing tag deployments in a simple drag-and-drop interface. Tealium tag management is deployed in days, instead of weeks or months. Tealium helps organizations save on IT costs, streamline their deployments and improve site performance.
