Please pay special attention to the 'Safety on the Hills' link! The landscapes that I paint in are beautiful but wild places and should be treated with respect.
I'm really excited about this project. The idea is to encourage people to venture out into, and explore, the landscape which has inspired me to paint. I hope that they will discover a little of the natural beauty and wildness that I try to capture in my work.
I've also posted the co-ordinates on my facebook page and will be having a draw to give away an additional painting to people who share the co-ordinates with their friends and followers.
Here are some links to websites that might help you to locate the paintings -

Hello and welcome to my tribute to one of the
greatest songs of all time, Pachelbel's canon. In
fact, in my opinion, it's the best song in classical
music. Why? Actually, it's because I'm not that big
of a classical music fan. I'm more into Alternative
Music. But, the first time I heard Canon in D Major
at a concert at school, I totally fell in love with it.
It is one of the most beautiful songs I had ever heard, and
what I admire more about it is the intricacy of the song
even though it's quite simple, just a couple of instruments
repeating a pattern over and over again. I borrowed a CD
from my friend Cecilia
and I liked it even more. After that, I began searching for
midi files of Canon on the Internet, but I could only find
one version of it and well, it wasn't the greatest, but a
couple of weeks ago, my friend sent me this version of Canon
done on a guitar and it rocked! That renewed my interest
in the song and I did another search. Now, I have a couple
versions of Canon, so, if you're interested, head over
to the Midi Section. and check them
out. Okay, that's it for now. Enjoy the site!

The hunger strike initiated by Theripehe Thero at the Katunayake International Airport this morning, demanding the arrest of the Brigadier who allegedly ordered the shooting at Rathupaswala has been halted a short while ago.
The Thero has withdrawn the fasting after a group of government representatives pledged the Thero to mete out justice before law.
Brigadier Deshapriya Gunawardana who was allegedly ordered to shoot at people during Rathupaswala protest, was appointed as a security advisor attached to the Sri Lankan Embassy in Turkey by the Rajapaksa government.
The chief incumbent of Gal Oluwa Sri Sambuddha Jayanthi Temple Venerable Theripehe Siridamma Thero started the fast before the Buddha statue placed in front of the entrance terminal of the Katunayake International Airport this morning.
The Thero started the fast after he received information that Brigadier Gunawardana is returning to the island today.

The group will look at consolidating its financial services businesses spanning corporate and retail lending to mutual funds and insurance besides creating a larger infrastructure vertical by bringing all the related companies under one umbrella. Some infrastructure businesses include Tata Realty and Infrastructure and consultant Tata Projects.
Tata's defence businesses are presently dispersed across multiple units. Tata Advanced Systems, Tata Advanced Materials and Tata Industrial Services are standalone defence and aerospace businesses. The rest are part of companies such as Tata Power, Tata Motors, TAL Manufacturing Solutions, Tata Technologies, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Steel, Tata Elxsi and Titan. Tata's defence businesses clocked in a revenue of Rs 2,650 crore in fiscal 2016, an increase of 7.5% from the year earlier. In the last five years, the group's revenue from defence and aerospace has grown at a CAGR of 18%.
"All companies working in security and defence will be brought under one umbrella. The thought has been there for three years. It is now finally moving ahead," said a person familiar with the matter. "This will help them big for larger defence projects with a higher net worth."
The consolidation exercise will first look at merging unlisted companies in related businesses under one umbrella and later repeat the similar exercise in the listed companies. Soon after taking over group holding company Tata Sons in February, Chandrasekaran recruited several investment bankers, pointing to mergers and acquisitions as a key theme for the future. He appointed ace investment banker Saurabh Aggarwal in May as Tata Sons chief financial officer. A Tata Sons spokesperson did not respond to emailed questions.
"The Tatas are getting into defence in a big way. Bringing all the companies together will bring synergies, coherence and avoid duplication. More importantly, they would need scale to benefit from the government's new 'strategic partnership' policy," said a consultant on condition of anonymity. "They need to have one holding company in defence that can then in turn have special purpose vehicles and joint ventures (with foreign players) to participate in strategic partnership programme."

|This is the Church (from Wikimedia)
Incidentally the Armenian Association of India is planning to celebrate the 300th year of the Church during this year.
|This is the Church (from Wikimedia)
just Amazing...i never knew this. I love visiting such architectural and historically significant buildings! Good to see that its fairly well maintained. Thanks PNS for this post!ReplyDelete
The place is so tranquil and beautiful and it has so much history wrapped within its walls. The description took me in too and the photos complemented the write up so beautifully. Many thanks for sharing the interesting location and information, I absolutely loved my virtual tour.ReplyDelete
Hello PNS,
This is a very informative post packed with details of the past and present of Armenians in India. No doubt, you have carried out a detailed research on the subject and reading your post makes me feel that the small Armenians nation has contributed much to our history. The photos are excellent and gives a clear idea of the church.
Actually several decades back I was a daily visitor to the Armenian St. because we had an office on that street. Besides on the same street near the Paris Corner there is the famous ST.Antony's church and the road used to get filled with devotees on that day.
I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful post.
Wish you all the best,
Good that I read this post.
I have yet to make my trip to Chennai and when I am there, this is one of the places I am sure to visit.
Note worthy: even in death there is preferential treatment of one over others as one grave is maintained and cared for while the others are left unattended and overgrown. hmmmmm, interesting indeed.
Have a splendid week.

हमेशा की तरह एक इन्फॉर्मेटिव आलेख।
This post is an eye opener. Amazing to note that there are still Armenians living in India. Very informative & nice you took the trouble to visit this church and provide such good information. Pictures are excellent. I don't think I have visited Armenian Street at all.I understand that this street stands renamed as Aran Manai Karan Thruvu. Quite a tongue twister isn't it ?ReplyDelete
wonderful post! lovely pics and very informative too!ReplyDelete
I had no clue about this side of the history at all .. Wow
Thank you so much info..
beautiful pictures
thanks for sharing these great informationReplyDelete
Reading this post was an experience in itself. Even though I live in Chennai, I have not (yet) visited all the historical monuments. It's mainly because I don't have much information.
I am aware of the armenian street, but I didn't know that there was a history behind its name. Lot of information, and good narration.
Destination Infinity
I like seeing these interesting photos...I did not know about the Armenians either...thanks for the infoReplyDelete
As always, a fascinating post, you give such a rich insight into a country I knew very little of.ReplyDelete
What an informative post! I did not know the history of Armenians in India.
Lovely pictures- it must be quite an imposing structure!
Hi to everybody. People are still interested in history of our small nation. Thanks a lot and find a link where you can see beauty of that church on web. Enjoy it pleaseReplyDelete
Sorry, here is the link http://www.view360.in/armenianchurch/ReplyDelete
Thank you. You could have given your name or email ID. Incidentally availability of 3D view at that link was foreknown. My attempt is just to create interest and once the initiation takes place, people are bound to get at that as well.
It was really great experience reading this post. Thanks to you for sharing your valuable experience.
It was a beautiful piece of article on the armanian history which I knew very little about.
Interesting post I was not know this facts ..Thanks UncleReplyDelete
This is really informative. You could have got a few pics of bell tower too.. Never knew about Armenian connection..ReplyDelete
Thanks Chitra. The Bell Tower has been captured in all its glory and it is there. I have just now added a caption lest people get confused.Delete
Interesting information. Had no idea of this before.ReplyDelete
Thanks PNS. I thought that is what you see first when you enter the premises of the church.Let me zoom and have a closer look. It is really beautiful.ReplyDelete
This is fascinating!!! I'm very familiar with the Armenian culture, as my Russian family is from Armavir, a small Armenian town in the Northern Caucasus. I had no idea there was an Armenian diaspora in India, no wonder so many Indians I encounter have Armenian last names, quite like yours Mr. Subramanian :))) Terrific post, thank you so much for sharing!!ReplyDelete
Great and fascinating post.
Thanks for sharing.
very interesting!!
i also came to know about armenian church through some blogs and got very interested..its in my list of places to visit in chennai...

Truly a great post Subramanian Sir!
Very well presented, rich with info.
A very interesting information sir. All through our lives, we go there, say aranmanaikaara theru, and come back. Isn't it the same street? Never once we bothered to enter that Church!.
Your interest in finding about these places and sharing it with the readers is amazing.
Thank you.
Much like the Jews of Fort Kochi! Always a pleasure to read such article. PNS Saab Calutta too has some settlement right, I dont seem to recall where are the from, let me tryReplyDelete
Much Like the Jews of Fort Kochi. I recollect Kolkotta too has a settlement, I dont recall if its Armenian, Great post as alwaysReplyDelete
I have a post on Jews of Kochi as well:
great article..the Armenians in Surat, Cochin, Madras and finally Calcutta were the traders who shaped much of the history in those days!!ReplyDelete

I didn't write a lot about films this summer. I wrote about Up. We saw a lot of movies - Harry Potter, The Proposal, Cheri, The Time Traveler's Wife...a lot of movies, but for some reason, I didn't feel the need to write about them.
Except for The Brothers Bloom. I sat in the theater and heard myself preparing the review even as Danny and I watched.
It's not a great film. It won't be nominated for anything come February. But of all the films we saw during the summer, I think I enjoyed this one the most. For all of its faults, it's ambitious; while it doesn't fully succeed, it's a joy to watch it try.
The film stars Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody. I've liked Ruffalo since The Last Castle and, honestly, since 13 Going on 30 (I just love when he looks at Jennifer Garner and says, believably, "We're not friends anymore, Jenna," like he's revisiting his high school days all over again). Brody was superb in The Pianist, with his huge sad eyes. They work well for him here.
They are two brothers. One named Stephen, the other, Bloom. That they're called "The Brothers Bloom" is a bit of a mystery, but whatever. We meet them as children, drifting from foster home to foster home in a decidedly Tom and Huck sort of existence. There, Stephen discovers his knack for conning, with Bloom wishing that, maybe, it were real.
Their adult lives proceed in the same fashion. Stephen (as described in the best line of the movie) "writes his cons they way dead Russians write novels, with thematic arcs and embedded symbolism..." He scripts Bloom as the brooding anti-hero. The more elaborate the con, the happier Stephen is.
Stephen is dating Bang Bang, whom he describes as their fifth Beetle. Bang Bang doesn't speak much. Her non-speech is so effective that when she does talk, it's a bit of a disappointment. There's a Marx Brothers sensibility to a lot of the film - Bang Bang is a more elegant version of Harpo. She carries a blowtorch instead of a horn, and she's not afraid to use it.
The other female character is Penelope. Rachel Weisz plays her somewhere between eccentric and certifiable. A wealthy recluse, she is a collector of hobbies. Stephen writes her as Bloom's love interest. Whether or not Bloom is interested is besides the point.
Rian Johnson also directed Brick, a noir-esque whodunit set in a high school with characters who'd watched a lot of Humphrey Bogart and Gene Tierney movies. It was an homage to the genre.
Likewise, The Brothers Bloom is an homage to the caper film, as loving if not as successful as The Sting, which Johnson lists as an inspiration.
Brothers drips with literary references. Stephen and Bloom walk around a somewhat modern world dressed like characters in mid-nineteenth century novel, and not just because they're based on characters from James Joyce's Ulysses. Their approach to the con is all about style.
The weakest part of the film is probably Weisz's Penelope, who seems the sort of person who really should not be allowed to cross the street without adult supervision. There is also a sequence on the train which makes no logical sense.
Like I said, it's not a great movie, but it tries hard. Johnson is good at creating films with familiar parts made fresh. I'm looking to his next film - even if the journey doesn't reach the intended destination, at least it's a fun ride.

So this happened today… 😀
Now I know that I've told the story many times before, so here's the highlight version:
- Just Laugh, my humor site, was established in 1999 using the domain justlaugh.net because somebody else owned the .com and wanted $3,000 for it.
- A couple years later, that guy let it lapse, so then I owned both justlaugh.net AND justlaugh.com!
- In a twisted case of cruel irony, I let justlaugh.net lapse when I moved to Florida in 2003 and somehow forgot to renew it.
- After a squatter scooped it up almost immediately, it proceeded to bounce from one reseller to another, usually with overseas registrars, leaving me almost no legal recourse to bother trying to reclaim it even if I did have the $1,000 fee or whatever.
So I've had backorder monitoring setup with GoDaddy on this thing for years – I seriously don't even remember when I did it, but it was like $18 and came with a year of hosting, so I figured why not … maybe they'd catch it one of these years if the squatter fell off his game, even though it always seemed to magically renew a week or two before the expiration date rolled around.
The notification emails from GoDaddy were kind of torture, watching that happen year after year…
…until this year when surprisingly the expiration came and went without renewal, and the registrar threw the domain into pending status!
Even then I tried not to get too excited about it because I know that there are companies that do nothing but stalk the expiring domains list to scoop up anything that could be of value to them. In fact, I even got a curious email about it last week asking "if I was interested in the domain" … which made me wonder if he was either the guy deciding whether to renew it again or just another stalker fishing leads to see if it was worth picking up. So I didn't respond, and I also tried to avoid any of those backorder sites that might accidentally trigger a notification to the owner that someone was poking around about it.
And then this afternoon, I unexpectedly got this email from GoDaddy saying that the backorder had been successful!!!
Mind you, I don't really have much use for it – after all of these years, it's purely a nostalgia grab, primarily fueled by the poster on the wall in my office that all of our contributors signed for me back in our heyday that just happens to still bear the justlaugh.net address…
I'll pretty much just redirect it to justlaugh.com and 99.999% of visitors will never even know that it exists … but I'm a nostalgic guy, so that doesn't really matter to me. It's just neat to have finally reclaimed the name that I'd originally bought fresh out of high school when I started this whole thing in the first place, back when the website was entirely hand-coded in PHP and looked a little something like this…
Good god, St. Patrick's Day and the Christmas menu buttons were still up?! Well, that was 2003 for you… 😉

Two AGNR Professors Emeritus Named AAAS Fellows
Two professors emeritus from the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences (ANSC) at the University of Maryland have been named Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Election as an AAAS Fellow is a prestigious honor bestowed upon AAAS members by their peers.
As part of the Agriculture, Food and Renewable Resources Section, Ian Mather, Ph.D., was elected as an AAAS Fellow for distinguished and original contributions in mammary gland biology, especially the characterization of milk proteins and elucidation of basic mechanisms of milk secretion. Mather joined the University of Maryland in 1975, became an Associate Professor in 1980 and Professor in 1985. He retired and became an Emeritus Professor in Sept. 2011.
Mary Ann Ottinger, Ph.D., was named an AAAS Fellow in the Biological Sciences Section for distinguished contributions to the field of neuroendocrinology, with particular emphasis on regulation and endocrine disruption of reproduction in avian systems. Ottinger joined the University of Maryland as an Assistant Professor in 1978, became an Associate Professor in 1983 and a Professor in 1989. She left Maryland in 2013 to become the Associate Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of Houston. Ottinger received a bachelor's degree, master's degree and Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Maryland.
"This is not only a tremendous honor for Dr. Mather and Dr. Ottinger, but also for the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources," said Tom Porter, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences. "Both Ian and Mary Ann played substantial roles in the growth and success of our department, and I couldn't be happier for them."
This year 401 members have been awarded this honor by AAAS because of their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications. New Fellows will be presented with an official certificate and a gold and blue (representing science and engineering, respectively) rosette pin on Saturday, 14 February from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at the AAAS Fellows Forum during the 2015 AAAS Annual Meeting in San Jose, Calif.
This year's AAAS Fellows were formally announced in the AAAS News & Notes section of the journal Science on 28 November 2014.
The tradition of AAAS Fellows began in 1874. Currently, members can be considered for the rank of Fellow if nominated by the steering groups of the Association's 24 sections, or by any three Fellows who are current AAAS members (so long as two of the three sponsors are not affiliated with the nominee's institution), or by the AAAS chief executive officer. Fellows must have been continuous members of AAAS for four years by the end of the calendar year in which they are elected.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is the world's largest general scientific society, and publisher of the journal, Science (www.sciencemag.org) as well as Science Translational Medicine (www.sciencetranslationalmedicine.org) and Science Signaling (www.sciencesignaling.org). AAAS was founded in 1848, and includes 254 affiliated societies and academies of science, serving 10 million individuals. Science has the largest paid circulation of any peer-reviewed general science journal in the world, with an estimated total readership of 1 million. The non-profit AAAS (www.aaas.org) is open to all and fulfills its mission to "advance science and serve society" through initiatives in science policy, international programs, science education, and more.

Oregon grapples with repercussions of landmark base pay law
Now some are worried about the future.
Previously this month, Oregon governor Kate Brown signed a landmark costs that will increase the minimum wage to double digits by 2022. But numerous are calling it a double-edged sword for businesses and employees of both low and median earnings.
In an attempt to balance the political and socio-economic variation between Oregon s rural and metropolitan regions in a state with only 4 million people the minimum wage will rise incrementally over 6 years in 3 regions: backwoods will increase to $12.50, mid-sized counties to $13.50, and its biggest city, Portland, to $14.75.
Jessie Burke is concerned about the effect it might have on her business, Posies Bakery & Cafe, in North Portland. Small businesses like mine are regularly communicated with as if we were a Fortune 500 operation, however we are not, she said. When wages increase, rates have to go up. There s no margin to absorb that expense.
Burke says commercial districts, employees and the Portland neighborhood have to share the concern when they rally for the greater good. If we can all get there, I m thrilled to see my staff get higher salaries.
Fourteen states have actually enhanced their minimum wage since January 2014, and Oregon s current $9.25 an hour is currently among the most charitable. The new bill will make it the greatest in the nation.
The Obama administration, a proponent of raising the federal floor, applauded Oregon lawmakers, who passed the expense near to party lines. For more information visit http://www.lenderliabilitylawyer.com.
A statewide study doned just recently for Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) found that voters, too, were divided over the tiered base pay boost, with 48 % in favor and 46 % opposed.
The fiercely disputed minimum wage boost aims to give working families a chance at economic security, while reducing companies into the increase. And its unmatched three-tier structure may prove to be a worthwhile experiment from which wage hike fans and cynics alike can glean information.
Oregon has a stable performance history of raising its minimum wage to change for inflation. In 1998, the legislature enhanced the minimum wage 42 % over 18 months.
There s a significant body of research study that reveals base pay increases have actually had little or no influence on tasks, either favorable or negative, said Juan Carlos Ord ez, interactions director at the Oregon Center of Public Policy (OCPP).
It s no secret that low-wage work is changing jobs that used to pay a middle-class income. Minimum wage is no longer for those getting in the workforce. Current data from the Center for Economic and Policy Research shows that only 12 % of minimum wage workers are teenagers. In Oregon, the typical minimum wage staff member is a 35-year-old woman, exposed a report by the University of Oregon s Labor Education and Research Center (LERC).
Oregon has one of the greatest portions of employees receiving state support, reports the research, with more than 1 million Oregonians (a quarter of the population) depending on food stamps to feed their families. An employee must make $16.28 an hour to manage a two-bedroom apartment or condo in Oregon, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
While workers outside of urban locations are more most likely to end up in low-wage positions, an excellent lots of Portlanders often overeducated and underemployed in service industry and retail jobs are grappling to stay afloat in a city Governing publication identified as America s most rapidly gentrifying.
That s one of many reasons that Justin Norton-Kertson initially introduced 15 Now, a campaign to raise Portland s base pay to $15 an hour. The initiative was suspended after the new wage boost was signed into law.
Norton-Kertson thinks the legislature s costs is an important action, sadly, this brand-new minimum stages in so slowly that it entirely fails to create a living wage and bring working households in Oregon out of poverty, which was the supreme goal of the $15 project.
When Portland reaches close to $15 an hour, a full-time barista at Posies Bakery & Cafe will make $40,000 a year, with pointers.
That s reasonable, say supporters. Portland is ending up being another unaffordable city on the west coast, and incomes must date the high cost of living. Seattle is working its method towards $15 over the next few years, and San Francisco s minimum wage incomes will climb to $15 by 2018.
Minimum wages have shown a controversial subject amongst local officials across the country. In February, the Alabama legislature blocked Birmingham s approval to raise the base pay from $7.75 to $10.10. However, 23 city governments have actually increased incomes above their state minimum.
While the OCPP stated Oregon s regionally tiered minimum wage hike is logical, ultimately, wage levels need to be left in the hands of city government. We would have chosen to see a strong base pay boost throughout the state then raise the pre-emption of local cities and governments from moving greater, stated Ord ez at the OCPP. Just like Alabama, Oregon law avoids city governments, cities and counties from raising the wage higher than the state minimum wage.
With the state guiding the ship, several Oregon markets are expecting task loss.
The Oregon Farm Bureau staunchly opposed the minimum wage hike, saying that Oregon s labor-intensive fruit and vegetables will be phased out, and with it businesses and workers.
Universities across the state are forecasting heavy budget plan balancing to keep part-time student tasks open. Oregon State University (OSU) estimated that payroll expenses due to the minimum wage increases will go beyond $8.2 m by 2021.
Anthony Smith, the Oregon state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, stated the bill was not a fair compromise and probably must have been referred to the tally so that Oregon voters could have had the chance to weigh in.
Jason Brandt, CEO of the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association, thinks the wage hike produces significant unintended effects, citing minimized work hours, inflated costs for customers, and enhanced layoffs.
If we want to deal with poverty in Oregon the worst thing we could do is turn over pink slips to individuals who need income for their source of incomes, said Brandt.
A number of chambers of commerce in backwoods believe they will get strike the hardest, and are preparing for serious belt tightening. Likely the outcome will be that small companies will have to minimize or deal with positions entirely in order to keep spending plan, stated Tallulah Chiono, executive director at Lake County Chamber of Commerce in rural south-central Oregon.
Crying job loss is simply alarmist, according to Gordon Lafer, political economist and associate professor at the University of Oregon s LERC, who states decades of research can not link increasing minimum incomes to enhancing joblessness.
However, small companies usually do not have the resources to safeguard themselves through this transition, stated Katrina Scotto di Carlo of Supportland, a rewards sharing network of independent businesses in Portland.
She stated locally owned businesses, typically, add to earnings proliferation in their neighborhoods. We need to guarantee this does not end up being another story where those that contributed significantly to the problem, like huge corporations, have the resources to succeed while those in the business of alleviating the problem in your area owned businesses fail, she continued.
Scotto di Carlo thinks Governor Brown s just recently designated small company advisory cabinet will probably be confronted with the challenge of assisting businesses in Portland and beyond. We all should embrace the frame of mind that if one small company fails because of this wage increase, then Oregon has failed that community.

I visited the annual Library Lecture at New Norcia again this year. It included a tour of the cemetery which was interesting. I bought my parasol with me so I wouldn't get burned, which turned out to be a great idea as there's no shade anywhere in New Norcia.
Last Tuesday I travelled down south to Bunbury to get a tattoo from Ebony Mellowship. I've been looking forward to this for ages, and I really enjoyed my time with her. She was so gentle, and I had no trouble sitting for 7 hours. You can follow her on facebook or instagram under Ebony Mellowship.
Adam Ant tattoo!!
I also bumped into a reader of my blog, Dani. She used to have a blog of her own. It was really great meeting her in person! She took this little photo to put in her alternative clothing shop :)
I don't have any exciting plans for this Halloween. I'm going to stay in with some films and my cross stitch.
I wish all my readers a happy Halloween! Stay safe.

To be up to date with the latest in the beekeeping industry to may visit our apiculture latest news. On the other hand if you're new to beekeeping and would like to begin professional beekeeping now download a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping can be a full-time profession or a hobby that is simple. Yet, more often than not, what started as a hobby would become a profession. But you cannot only decide and tell yourself you will begin to do beekeeping. Before starting on any avocation or profession, you need to have comprehension and satisfactory knowledge on the subject that you're going to enter. Then it's about time to indulge yourself if you have been putting off your curiosity about beekeeping for quite a while. Bee farming may seem easy; learning the basic beekeeping lessons can allow you to get off to a great start.
What does a beekeeper must understand?
You should have total interest on beekeeping to begin at the right foot. You will need to spend time taking care of your colonies of bees. You should have also consented to share your home space with the bees. There are possible dangers in beekeeping that can hurt not only you but your family also. Your focus is not only to earn money by selling honey; a great beekeeper should have a keen interest and passion in rearing bees.
An apiarist should know the right location for the beehives. If you decide to place your beehives you need certainly to make sure beekeeping is enabled in your town. There are several places restricted to beekeeping; you have to get permission relating to this.
Beekeepers must understand whether beekeeping supplies can be found in the area where the beehives are situated. When you should attend a neighborhood beekeeping shop you may never understand; it is best that a nearby beekeeping store is not inaccessible.
Protective tools and equipment can also be important for beekeepers to know. This will lessen the chances of being stung by your bees. Know the appropriate suit to choose to keep you from any possible danger in beekeeping.
If you're incapable to harvest honey all the attempts that are beekeeping would be useless. The approaches should be known by a beekeeper in gathering the honey in the comb; beeswax is also part of the returns in beekeeping.

Thursday Trivia: Let the cat out of the bag
According to the website, Mental Floss, "the first documented use of the phrase in the sense of 'revealing a secret' comes from a book review in a 1760 issue of The London Magazine, wherein the reviewer laments that, 'We could have wished that the author had not let the cat out of the bag.' That, unfortunately, is about all we know for sure."
They go on to tell us about one possible yet unconfirmable origin:
"The first origin story claims the phrase refers to the cat o' nine tails, infamously used by the Royal Navy as an instrument of punishment aboard its ships. The whip's nine knotted cords could scratch an undisciplined sailor's back pretty badly, hence its feline nickname. The bag comes into play because the "cat," being made of leather, had to be kept in a sack to protect it from drying out in the salty sea air and keep it flexible. Removing a whip from a sack doesn't immediately seem to have anything to do with revealing a secret (that the lash was on board the ship and would be readily used shouldn't have been a secret to any sailor), but if you think of "letting the cat out of the bag" as a revelation that results in a punishment, it makes a little more sense."
Snopes is skeptical though, and offers this possible explanation:
"[Perhaps] "letting the cat out of the bag" was always meant as no more than an entertaining mental image of the explosiveness of a confidence's revelation — usually what is deliberately concealed is of a salacious or titillating nature, thus there are often huge elements of shock and surprise when the truth comes out, somewhat akin to the commotion raised by a frightened cat suddenly loosed from the bag that had imprisoned it. Or it could have to do with a similarity between the behavior of both secrets and cats — once either is let out, they go wherever they want. (In other words, private news that has been made public spreads far and wide, despite all efforts to keep it contained.)"
We're taking bets - where do you think the phrase originated?

In America, two past events and one past trend are leading us inexorably — absent a black swan event — to one of two very grim American futures.
I got to thinking about where we are now, right now, with the Deep State on the verge of a successful coup against an elected American president; with Islam on the march around the Western world; and with all of our primary communication, education, and corporate outlets in Marxist hands. As I see it, there are two major past events and one major past trend that have left us with a grim present that leads to two potential futures, both equally disastrous.
Past Event No. 1: The first Past Event that has led to our current tenuous present is Kennedy's 1962 Executive Order 10988, which allowed federal employees to unionize. Even Franklin Roosevelt had stopped short of taking that step. Although Roosevelt was in the trifecta of Leftist political presidents (Wilson, Roosevelt, and Obama), he explicitly stated that "It is impossible to bargain collectively with the government."
What someone even as hard Left as Roosevelt understood is that, in the private sector, when the owners and unions sat down at the negotiating table, they both have skin in the game. The owners are paying any negotiated wages out of their own money and the union members have a vested interested in keeping the business going.
That's not the case with government unions. The only people with skin in the game are taxpayers, and they're nowhere near that negotiating table. Instead, politicians and union bosses sit down to figure out how much taxpayer money can be given to government employees without fomenting armed rebellion. The understanding when they leave the table is that a significant amount of that same money will find its way back into the politicians' pockets, whether in the form of forced union dues or donations from employees who know precisely which politicians are raping taxpayers for the benefit of government employees.
Because unions have always been a Democrat Party game, Kennedy's executive order turned America's bureaucracy from a party-neutral form civil service working for America's benefit into a giant arm of the Democrat Party. We all know and are grateful for that small percentage of government employees who have managed to retain the common sense and common decency that comes with conservativism.
The larger reality though, is that federal employees, from the upper echelons of the each administrative branch down to the mail room minions, are hardcore Democrat activists who know that, if Democrats lose power in Washington D.C., these employees lose their gold-plated benefits (far in excess of similarly situated workers in the private sector) and, quite possibly, they lose their jobs. That last, incidentally, the bit about losing jobs, was the threat Donald Trump brought with him to the White House, when he promised to shrink the bloated, ineffectual, bullying administrative state.
No wonder, then, that Obama was so easily able, either explicitly or implicitly, to encourage the federal bureaucracy to carry out the Democrat agenda, whether it was the IRS destroying pro-conservative and pro-Israel groups; the EPA destroying the energy industry and advancing an apocalyptic and redistributionist view of "climate change; or the DOJ and FBI actively weaponizing themselves against anything conservative and covering up anything that might harm Democrats. Moreover, as you think about this ideological takeover of America's civil service, don't forget that, thanks to a massive buying spree during the Obama administration, our administrative offices have more guns and ammo than the entire Marine Corps.
It is this armed, ready, and biased administrative state that is working hard to take down a properly elected president. The first effort was the Democrat-hatched "Russia collusion" accusation against Trump collapsed, which is collapsing for want of any evidence. With that having failed, the Democrat-controlled, weaponized, unionized administrative state is now attacking Trump very directly.
The no-knock raid on Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, is intended to box Trump in on all sides. If he fires Mueller, that's obstruction and he'll be impeached. If he pardons Cohen, that's obstruction and he'll be impeached. If he does nothing, the Progressive cohorts in the DOJ and FBI will root through every attorney-client privileged scrap of paper in Cohen's possession until they find something, anything.
As Stalin's henchman Lavrentiy Beria so succinctly said, "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime." I like better the way Dan Bongino states the same sentiment because he also exposes the profoundly anti-American ideology underpinning Mueller's actions:
A "blind" justice system is supposed to investigate crimes, in search of the people who did it. NOT to investigate people, in search of crimes. Police-state tyrants understand the difference, but they don't care. They are obsessed with taking down Trump & the country with it.
— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) April 12, 2018
Thanks to Kennedy's executive order, we are facing a government coup against an elected leader. The only time America experienced a more perilous internal threat was on the eve of the Civil War — and we know just how bad things got when that threat was executed.
In my optimistic moments, which are rare, I hope that the Inspector General's report will expose the Deep State for what it is or that President Trump, a born fighter, has some magical Hollywood judo ending for us.
In my pessimistic moments, which are more common, I foresee that Trump will be taken down over his attorney's $130,000 payment to a stripper. After all, the GOP hates Trump too and wants desperately to go back to a peaceful status quo in which members of the GOP accrued power by mouthing conservative platitudes and then governing like the rest of America's Leftists. If Trump goes down, we may see a very swift descent into civil unrest and the collapse of America's normative politics and safe civil space. [Read more…]

This paper mache dragonfly project is easy to do with limited craft supplies. Just use paper, wire and paste.
Age: 12+
Difficulty: Medium
Time Rating: 3 out of 5
Twist up a 6 x6 inch piece of tissue paper to make the body. You will want it smaller than the finished size. Make sure it is quite small around. When I made my first one, it ended up way too big around. It ended up in the Craft Wrecks pile!
Wrap this with a layer of masking tape.
Section off the head and the body by wrapping wire tightly around these parts, to separate them.
Paper mache with two layers and let this dry.
Roll two small balls and paper mache for the eyes.
When dry, glue the eyes to the head.
Shape two, 10 inch long pieces of wire into wing shapes. Do two more using an 11 inch long piece of wire.
You can use this WING TEMPLATE as a guideline.
Hot glue shear fabric on to the back side of the wings. Trim to shape.
Set the wings on wax paper and use watered down paint (1 to 5 mix) to add color to the fabric. Dab it on with a paint brush in spots, letting it run. Use a couple of fairly light colors, in green and blue.
Poke a hole in each side of body just down from the head for the wings. Put the wires into the holes and glue.
Add two more layers of newspaper on to the body. Let this dry.
Add sparkle glue for the design on the wings.
*Alternative for making wings: Use pantyhose over wire or decoupage tissue paper on to wire, using watered down white glue. I used tissue paper on mine but I think that the sheer fabric or pantyhose would have made a more realistic looking wing. I have used sheer fabric to make wings in the past and it is probably the best material to use.
Paint the paper mache dragonfly with green craft paint. When this is dry, sponge on lighter green.
Blackwash over this for added depth. Brush on highlights with bronze paint.
You can hang this on the wall by gluing a pop tab to the back, for a hook.

08 Oct Can Postpetition Arrears Be Cured in an Amended Chapter 13 Plan?
What happens when a debtor falls behind on postpetition mortgage payments in Chapter 13? One option is to try to roll postpetition arrears into an amended plan. Both the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits have held that postpetition defaults may be cured through a Chapter 13 plan modification, see In re Hoggle, 12 F.3d 1008 (11th Cir. 1994); In re Mendoza, 111 F.3d 1264 (5th Cir. 1997). Given the language of Section 1322(b)(5) allowing the cure of any default and the existing case law, such cure attempts should probably be granted as long as the amended plan is feasible. However, these cure attempts often happen in the context of relief from the automatic stay motion, which can be granted for "cause." Therefore, the discretion of a bankruptcy judge can be exercised in ways that vary widely when it comes to allowing or denying such cure attempts of postpetition arrears.

The Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions SAK will stage a political rally on Friday 2 February to oppose the Government's new unemployment benefit scheme. Joining the action are the Transport Workers' Union AKT and the Finnish Construction Trade Union.
According to the information currently available, the Linkki buses of Jyväskylä Region Public Transport will stop running as of 03.00 on Friday morning February 2nd. The rally will last until 18.00 Friday evening and services are expected to run normally by 19.00. Jyväskylä Region Public Transport regrets the inconvenience the problems incurred by passengers as a result of this action.
Local buses transporting comprehensive school pupils will also be out of service, but taxi services will operate normally. It appears that the strike will not affect regular regional services. Information on operational regional services is available on Matkahuolto's and operators' websites.
The rally will not affect Linkki-Vip services in Jyväskylä. Linkki-VIP buses will operate according to the regular timetable on February 2nd.

Considering whether contract management software could be the solution for efficient, compliant, management of supplier agreements in your buying group?
You're not alone. According to a recent survey by Oxford Economics, 49% of procurement executives said that their contract management is already automated and 68% of those surveyed predicted that in 2 years' time contract management processes would be completely automated.
By their very nature, buying groups are set up to boost negotiating power where a number of smaller enterprises are typically all dealing with larger suppliers. But it's not always as straight-forward as being able to agree an advantageous unit price.
Savvy contract managers on the supply side will want some form of purchase commitment in exchange for a cut in their profit margin and, if that isn't forthcoming, a system of rebates or tiered discounts based on volume over time is usually offered instead.
Added to that, where suppliers want to encourage sales through product mixes, promote bigger volume sales of products reaching the end of their life, or launch new products they will add dimensions like time and product mix as well as volume to determine discounts and rebates.
Clearly buying groups need to be able to quickly and easily consolidate purchases made by each company in the group in order to calculate and distribute (where appropriate) the rebates achieved.
Contract management systems go some way to achieving the needs of a typical buying group, but fall short where complex rebates need to be modelled and in collecting data from multiple systems that are not necessarily owned by the buying group.
Some questions to ask, then, before you select a buying group contract management system:
Can you replicate all of the complex volume pricing and rebates in the software?
How does the software collate timely, accurate data from my multi-site / multi-company group?
What alerts can be set to help manage contract milestones?
Is there workflow for approvals and purchases that words across multiple companies within the group?
Of course, we know one that answers "yes" to all of the above (and more)!
The contract management software for buying groups: DealTrack
DealTrack Rebate Management System is fast becoming the most popular contact management software alternative for buying groups. Affiliated Distributors (AD), XLVets, Today's Group, Landmark and DCS Group are already leading the way by implementing our rebate management system and realising increased profits and improved cash flow.

● Told from a cat's point of view, this book brings a unique perspective to the joy of Christmas.
● A touching story of finding home and connection during the holidays.
● The illustrations are playful and colorful, showing the world as seen by a special cat.
Little Gray and the other cats don't like to hang around people very much. They prefer the freedom of the park and the comforts of living under the yew tree. But Christmas is coming, and the cats are baffled by the bustle as the townspeople prepare for a holiday fair. The cats try to keep out of the way, but then a curious man captures Little Gray's attention. He's friendly and attentive, and he's on his way home with a Christmas tree for his boy.
This is the moment Little Gray decides this man will be her new human. He may take a little convincing, but that's not surprising, considering how much slower and uncertain humans are than cats. This touching book, told from a cat's point of view, is the perfect story of finding friendship at Christmastime.
