Mackenzie Basin Dairying Intrusion
4 May 2019
The NZFFAs' president Graham Carter said the underlying principle was about the short-sightedness and folly of allowing dairying expansion in low rainfall areas such as the Mackenzie Basin.

River Crisis Urgently Needs Action
The NZ Federation of Freshwater Anglers, is calling for urgent action on the plight of New Zealand's deteriorating rivers both in terms of water quality and flow.
The call came in the wake of a reported article last week from Reuters in the USA's prestigious "New York Times" and the UK's "The Times" which said "New Zealand's clean, green image took a beating this summer as tourists travelling through the countryside posted pictures of lakes and rivers off limits due to contamination by farm effluent, garbage and human faeces." The article said "a booming dairy farming industry, along with a surge in tourists seeking unspoiled natural attractions, has taken its toll on the country's environment, heavily marketed as '100% Pure'."
Farmers need to clean up their act
The article on Newshub, January 16 'Opinion: No more cheap shots at dairy farmers over water quality' by Tim Mackle CEO of Dairy NZ shows that he really doesn't understand all of the issues. His statement "the simple reality these days is that no dairy cow can get into a stream thanks to dairy farmers having fenced off 97 percent of significant waterways on farms," is complete rubbish...
Nitrates: Today's Hemlock
Are our nitrate laden water supplies killing us? Sadly New Zealand now has one of the highest bowel cancer rates in the world; and it is growing. How is "God's Own country", of just 4.8 million people, which markets tourism, and its exports, as "100% pure" (and "clean and green") in such a medical crisis?

Anglers Federation pans 3 Waters Response
15th November 2018
The New Zealand Federation of Freshwater Anglers (NZFFA), is disappointed, but not surprised, by the Local Government NZ position statement on the 3 Waters project. The statement suggested that 'while there are challenges at the margin, by and large New Zealand's water system is far from broken,' and that wastewater and storm-water standards were best left to run their course before introducing new ones.

Is Fencing Rivers a Failure?
16th September 2018

Public Parks off-Limits
17th April 2018
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a ban on future offshore oil and gas exploration saying the only exploration likely to be contemplated would be on-shore exploration, limited to energy-rich Taranaki. Not entirely clear is the position of the public's forest parks such as the 200,000 hectare Victoria Forest Park near Lewis Pass. The previous National-led government in 2014 allowed overseas corporates rights to drill off-shore and on-shore . One was Victoria Forest Park. At the time the then energy minister Simon Bridges admitted although he had signed the deal off, he had never heard of the park. There are competing predictions for a cooling as well as a warming climate and if this occurred, then it was important New Zealand was self-sufficient in fuel. Public lands should be excluded from oil and gas exploration, but private land exploration would be up to property owners, oil and gas corporates and government environmental safeguards.. Public wilderness should not be part of any exploitive exploration.

Salmon Symposium a success
12th November
Managed to get along to this in Ashburton at the weekend - want to congratulate Fish and Game on a very well run event, the quality of information was very good as were the presentations, highlights for me was the presentation from Canadian fisheries expert David Willis which was very informative and gave insights as to the way forward. New Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage was equally interesting as she gave the audience hope that the new Govt will address many of the environmental issues impacting on our river - to sum it up - she's on our side! At one point organiser Mathew Hall asked the audience if they was anyone in the room who disagreed that the salmon fishery was in a perilous state - no one did - I spoke to one retired Rakaia Gorge farmer who remembered the good old days - over 100 fish for a season! - how times have changed... The weekend ended with some words of wisdom from retiring F&G head Bryce Johnston - who suggested this was perhaps our last chance for these rivers and therefore the salmon fishery - when you consider what we once had - took for granted for so long - we can't afford to lose the King of fish and the King of our rivers - and so the fight to save the last of the salmon has begun - I hope it's one we can win!

Farmers need to stop blame shift
Farmers need to stop blame shifting and take responsibility for their part in the pollution of our waterways and local government needs to be held accountable.
The common denominator in all the pollution we have is big business. These are the culprits that local and central government need to focus on.
Sure farmers have been investing in riparian strips and fencing which has helped ease the leaching on our waterways but it is not the complete answer....

Lost and Declining Trout Rivers Identified by NZFFA
New Zealand's trout fisheries are going downhill and in some cases such as Canterbury's Selwyn and Irwell Rivers, "lost" as public trout fisheries says Graham Carter, president of the NZ Federation of Freshwater Anglers.
"It's very eye opening and a sharp reminder with an election looming, that water and rivers is an issue to take up with politicians. At the very least all anglers must vote and vote with the future of our trout rivers in mind," he said.
"Lost Rivers" represents a decline of the 'intergenerational equity' and every New Zealander shares in our freshwater resources

"It extremely dishearting to realise the true extent of the declines in our freshwater fisheries", This map highlights those declines in the South Island

God's Love in Action
We are a community of more than 1,400 Christians who gather for worship, education and fellowship at
4455 E. Lincoln Drive, Paradise Valley, Arizona. It is from this place that we serve our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Our Mission
Alive with the Spirit, we bring God's Love into action by
- Igniting faith
- Transforming lives
- Creating community.
Our Vision
Love that crosses all barriers and embraces all people.
How We Do Ministry
Paradise Valley United Methodist Church is a congregation in ministry, with the clergy and congregation working together to take Jesus Christ's message into our community and world. Clergy and staff equip the people of the church, helping them discover their gifts and encouraging them to be involved in ministries where their interests, gifts and abilities intersect with the needs of the church. We honor the contribution of clergy and staff, who are the equippers of ministry, and we claim the ministry of the people of the church, who are in fact Christ's unpaid servants or disciples.
How We Organize Ourselves as United Methodists
The General Conference, comprised of elected clergy and laity delegates, governs the worldwide United Methodist Church. Our Jurisdictional Conferences bring together United States churches across large geographical areas. Bishops are elected by the delegates of Jurisdictional Conferences and are then assigned to Annual Conferences. Paradise Valley United Methodist Church is in the Desert Southwest Annual Conference, which is part of the Western Jurisdiction. Bishops, together with their cabinets, appoint clergy to local churches or parishes. Individual congregations do not call pastors to their charge, nor do clergy apply for a certain position within the church.
United Methodists have compiled their ideas of how we agree to live together, our understanding of the Church, what is expected of clergy and laity, our theological grounding, and our mission in The Book of Discipline. While we recognize it as our book of law, we do not see it as infallible. The Discipline is amended or clarified at each General Conference.
How We Organize Ourselves at PVUMC
All members and clergy of Paradise Valley United Methodist Church comprise the Church Conference, which meets once a year. The Church Conference elects officers, leaders and ministry team members. The primary governing body elected by Church Conference is the Church Council, which is the administrative and policy-making body of Paradise Valley United Methodist Church. All of the major ministry areas of the church are represented on Church Council.
Reporting to Church Council are Administrative Ministry Teams and Program Ministry Teams. If you are interested in serving on a Ministry Team or learning more about our volunteer opportunities, please go to Volunteers or contact the staff liaison of the Nominating Committee.
A Brief History of Paradise Valley United Methodist Church
In 2010, Paradise Valley United Methodist Church celebrated its 50th anniversary. The church was founded in 1960 with the support of Methodism's mother church of Arizona, Central Methodist Church. A group of individuals and families from Central acted on the dream of founding a Methodist church in the northeast Valley. Originally, the group met in the Cudia City Studio. Over time, they bought 15 acres of land west of the intersection of Tatum and Lincoln, situated between the Phoenix mountains to the north and Camelback Mountain to the south. At that time, the surrounding area was relatively undeveloped. Our founders' foresight in securing the land has enabled our church to grow over time to expand our ministries while still being blessed by the beauty of our natural environment.
Paradise Valley United Methodist Church has helped launch other United Methodist congregations, most recently the Desert Mission United Methodist Fellowship in Carefree, Arizona. Today, PVUMC is one of the largest United Methodist churches in the western United States. We embrace our commitment to being a place where "We Bring God's Love into Action."

Payback, the top-down, open-world crime sprawler on the iPhone, just got an "experimental" price drop to $5.
The GTA-esque game's creator emailed me to say that the whole App Store thing is quite new and he wanted to test how what sort of impact a price drop would have on sales. So if you're interested in checking the game out, now's probably the time.
Apex Designs' James Daniels also tells me that an update is headed for the game in the near future. The update will include an improved minimap, an easier way to restart missions, built-in instructions, an optional new camera angle, bug fixes and tweaks and support for different device orientations for more comfortable use on the iPod Touch.
Has anyone tried Payback yet, besides me?

Senate Democrats stick with Reid as their leader
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats have re-elected Harry Reid of Nevada as their leader for the new Congress that convenes in January.
But he will serve as the minority leader instead of majority leader, thanks to Republicans' success in the Nov. 4 elections.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California says Senate Democrats decided to stick with Reid during a lengthy closed meeting Thursday in the Capitol.
Reid has been the Senate majority leader for eight years.
That title will now go to Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

Four years ago, my opinion of Las Vegas was a city of casinos, showgirls, topless caberets, and, well, where "anything goes." After five trips to this desert oasis, I have found that 'Vegas is all that but so much more. Broadway musicals, variety shows, five star restaurants, and world class shopping are just some of the newer attractions on the 'Vegas strip. Some of my most memorable shows have been here. Blue Man Group, Le Reve, and, on this trip, Mamma Mia! This is not to say that there isn't much to see or do off that famous piece of real estate. After all, the majority of the population of Las Vegas does not live on the strip, although they might have jobs there. Once you get off the strip, you see a side of 'Vegas that is rarely seen, except for the morbid and soemtimes exaggerated glimpses on CSI.
Which brings me back to where my story began. Approximately twenty five miles west off the main strip is the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, a small but no less beautiful canyon with almost eleven trails that can accommodate any fitness level. Each trail is different and takes you along unique rock formations and rewards your endurance with beautiful vistas. If hiking through the dessert in hundred degree heat is not your cup of tea, then do not despair. The thirteen mile loop through the park offers a scenic drive with many opportunities to pull off the road and take pictures or just sit and take in the expansive, unadulterated views. If you opt to do one of the trails, however, I would suggest doing so during the early morning or late afternoon/evening hours, when temperatures are much cooler, which is not to say that it would not be hot.
Back on the strip, there is always something new to explore, see or do. This time, it was the Palazzo. A gorgeous hotel casino in the style of a stately venetian castle, which is not surprising since it is connected to the Venetian Hotel and Casino and owned by the same parent company. The Palazzo offers the type of shopping that has become synonymous with the city: Cartier, Barney's, etc. Not to mention its plethora of restaurants. Carnevino, Dal Toro, Solara, just to name a few. As enticing as these were, we had dinner reservations to honor at another restaurant.
The Palazzo
Inside the Palazzo
It was our on our third trip here when we stumbled upon the best Korean barbecue I have ever had. Directly opposite the Hard Rock Hotel on Paradise Avenue is San Toki Korean Restaurant. From the outside, it doesn't look like much. In fact, had it not been for our ( and I say this with much bravado) adventurous spirit, we never would have ventured inside. The interior is a startling contrast to the outside: modern, colorful and welcoming. Interestingly, on both visits, there were hardly any customers; we were the only ones that first time. Needless to say, this was good news for us: quick and personalized service with the assumption that our meal would be paid greater attention to. The waiter quickly took our order and began brining out plate after plate of meats, vegetables, sides dishes, soups and salads. For anyone who has never had a Korean barbecue before, the format is such that your table is fitted with an electric grill so that you can cook thinly sliced pieces of meat and vegetables table side. Depending on the restaurant, sometimes the waiter monitors the grilling or you do so yourself. Either way, once the meat is cooked (this usually takes about five minutes) the feasting begins.
Waiter preparing Korean barbeque
There was one more thing I discovered here: frozen yogurt. Not the type that looks and tastes like soft serve ice cream and is infused with hydrogenated oil. This was literally frozen yogurt. If there has ever been a chain restaurant after my own heart, the Red Mango was it. Here, you can get yogurt that has been prepared to look like ice cream, with a similar texture, and without an immense fat content but will all the goodness of milk. I almost didn't believe it. This changes everything. Dessert that is good for you? Was it even possible? It is, in Nevada (as well as in California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Utah and Washington.)
Frozen yogurt
As our vacation ended, I reflected on an incident that night at Red Mango. Just outside of the store, a man, possibly in his fifties, stood with a bucket, a dirty piece of cloth and some sort of scrubbing instrument. Let's call him Jim. It was evident by his clothing that he might have been homeless or, at the least, going through a though time financially. He stood, offering to wash the windscreen of any car that pulled into the parking lot, for a couple dollars of course. One by one, his offers we declined. Then a young man approached him. They talked for a few minutes, entered the store and approached the counter where the young man bought Jim some yogurt. A kind gesture; this might have been dinner for Jim or all he had eaten for the day. However, it didn't stop there. The young man was joined by three friends; they clearly had planned to meet but instead of moving on with their own plans, they sat down with Jim and the five of them talked like old friends. Then it struck me: For all its glitz and glamor, its sultry attractions, and its notorious behavior, the core of Las Vegas is much like any other city in the US: a home for many and a place where people of all walks of life are embraced. Maybe the saying "anything goes" was coined to reflect the side of the city that judges no one but embraces, and is accepting of, individuality. If so, this is just another reason to consider a trip to Las Vegas.

Keeping track of data in the event log on Windows 2003
Site expert Jonathan Hassell reveals tools that will keep track of logon and logoff data in the event viewer on Windows 2003.
You will need to look at the events on each computer, unless you purchase a third-party event log aggregator. Or, if you can wait until the end of year, Windows Server R2 will include the Microsoft Audit Collection Service as an integral part of the software release. You'll need a new license for that, though.
I agree that this should be easier than it is.

One of the most impressive aspects of Fargo this season has been the show's ability to digress without ever losing focus. Discussions of shampoo precede plans for violent criminal takeover, poignant monologues about war experience follow Ronald Reagan speeches about American exceptionalism, and hints of extraterrestrial life have been prevalent throughout the season, even if they may never be explained. Even as the asides have become less and less relevant to the increasingly complex plot, they've continued to enrich the story, serving in turn as hilarious, reflective, and simply unique elements which have made Fargo unlike anything else on TV.
By contrast, "Rhinoceros" mostly dispenses with the digressions, opening with a tense zoom in on the Blumquists' house corresponding with the mounting pressures facing the couple, complemented by a foreboding, percussive musical cue to ratchet up the suspense. The law is the first threat to the Blumquists introduced in the episode, with Lou carrying Ed away while Hank restrains a furious Peggy. As she doesn't want to accept, of course, Ed's arrest very well may be the best thing for him, theoretically saving from the vengeance-seeking Gerhardts.
But back at their home, the biggest threat they pose seems to be to themselves, with intra-familial strife pitting Dodd, Simone, and Bear against one another. Dodd threatens his daughter by describing the perils of "a whore's life" (as if he knows), only further encouraging her to turn against him. His relationship with Bear isn't in a much better place, with Bear's punches and beatings leading to a gun to his head from Hanzee and the threat of a whipping from Dodd. Only Floyd's matriarchal authority can end the quibbling between the Gerhardt boys, reminding them of their shared goals and once again asserting women's authority in the Fargo universe. In the film Fargo, Marge Gunderson functions as a powerful symbol of feminine strength, and Floyd, Simone, Peggy, and Betsy continue to do her proud.
The Gerhardts certainly could use Floyd's leadership, as Mike and his cronies loom. In one of the episode's few digressions, Mike recites Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" in a voiceover, accompanying a montage of him and his men heading into combat. Partly due to the pairing of the speech with an overwhelmingly gripping story beat, partly due to Bokeem Woodbine's musical delivery, and partly due to the sheer creativity of the sequence, the juxtaposition doesn't feel awkward in the slightest. Instead, it comes across as something that could only happen in Fargo's gloriously demented universe, affirming the originality that makes the show so great.
As the Gerhardts deals with Mike's threat, they put a similar pressure to the one they face from him on Peggy, combining with Hank's rapidly progressing investigation to put her under siege from multiple forces. He informs her of the impending forensic tests, even if she's more concerned with "the latest trends" and the seminar Ed was determined to have her not take. "Life's a journey, you know," she tells Hank, horrifying him with her apparent obliviousness to the gruesome situation in which she's implicated. He refuses to follow her nonchalance, pressing her and emphasizing the dire threats she faces.
He's right to keep her from feeling too comfortable, as we soon find out, since Dodd shows up with his henchmen and a taser. Unintimidated by Hank's badge, even as he says to Dodd, "I could fill a steamer trunk with the amount of stupid I think you are," Hanzee gives the sheriff a nasty bump on the head to even out whatever disparity there may be between the characters' wit. Of course, the Gerhardts are really after Peggy, and Dodd heads into the basement with a gun in the hopes of getting revenge on the "Butcher of Luverne." Instead, he gets a vicious taser attack from Peggy, leaving their encounter on a gripping cliffhanger as to what she will do next.
Meanwhile, Bear leads a parallel attack on the prison holding Ed and Charlie, hoping to free the boy. Under the threat of a shotgun, Karl delivers a steely explanation of why Charlie's freedom would not be in their best interest, maintaining his composure, at least for long enough for the Gerhards to leave. Once they do, Nick Offerman does a remarkable job of conveying the terror and sadness Karl feels without mocking him for macho posturing, giving the scene a pathos that doesn't appear contrived in the slightest. Lou manages to get Ed out of the danger at the prison, even if he rewards his liberator by running away (although Hank seems confident in his and Lou's ability to track Ed down).
As the Gerhardts unfold their vicious campaign, they face a comparable attack from Mike, as he storms their compound with his men and guns. The scene begins with Floyd's affecting statement to Simone that "There's no such thing as men's work," bringing back the motif of women upending patriarchal authority and making the attack seem all the more brutal. Noah Hawley makes us wait until next episode to see Floyd and Simone's fate, furthering the forward momentum of the gripping season.

Around 6,000 protesters massed outside Morsi's presidential palace in an upscale district of the capital, banging on the gates and throwing stones and shoes into the grounds in a show of contempt. Multiple firebombs were thrown through the gates as crowds chanted, "Leave, leave," addressing Morsi.
Security forces inside the palace responded with water cannons on the crowd, then fired volleys of tear gas. A tree inside the palace grounds caught fire.
Thousands more rallied in central Tahrir Square, while a larger crowd marched through the Suez Canal city of Port Said, which witnessed the worst clashes and highest casualties, pumping their fists in the air and chanting, "Leave, leave, Morsi."
The wave of protests began around rallies marking the second anniversary of the uprising that toppled Mubarak. The unrest was prompted by public anger that Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood are monopolizing power and have failed to deal with the country's mounting woes.

After creating your contact-based workflow, setting your enrollment triggers, and choosing your workflow actions, you can edit your workflow settings.
Access your workflow settings
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Automation > Workflows.
- Click the name of a workflow, or click Create workflow.
- In the workflow editor, click the Settings tab.
Please note: if your HubSpot account was created after November 5, 2019, your workflow will have updated action execution settings. You can set specific time ranges for each day of the week. Learn more about the differences in new contact-based workflows.
What days do you want actions to execute?
This setting allows you to decide on which days workflow actions can execute:
- 7 days a week: actions can execute on any day of the week. This option is selected by default.
- Business days only (Monday - Friday): actions, including if/then branches, can only execute on business days. Any actions scheduled to execute on Saturday or Sunday will be rescheduled for the same time on the following Monday.
Please note:
- The Business days only (Monday - Friday) setting will not reschedule delays. Any scheduled delays will continue to execute over the weekend.
- This Business days only (Monday - Friday) setting does not prevent actions from occurring on holidays.
What time of day do you want these actions to execute?
This setting allows you to set what time the workflow actions can execute. By default, this option is set to Anytime during the day. If you want your workflow actions to execute during a specific time range, select Between the hours of:. Then click the dropdown menu and select a time range.
This time is based on the timezone selected in your account settings. If an action is scheduled to execute outside of the specified time range, when that originally scheduled time arrives, the workflow will reschedule the action to execute at the next available time within the specified time range.
Allow contacts to be enrolled in this workflow from Salesforce?
This setting allows you to decide if Salesforce leads or contacts can be enrolled in your HubSpot workflows. If you want Salesforce leads or contacts to enroll in this workflow, select Yes, allow enrollment from Salesforce.
For Salesforce leads or contacts to successfully enroll in the workflow:
- The Salesforce lead/contact must exist in HubSpot as a contact.
- The HubSpot-Salesforce integration must be correctly installed.
- The HubSpot Visualforce window must be added to your Salesforce lead and/or contact page layouts.
Learn more about enrolling your Salesforce leads or contacts into HubSpot workflows directly from Salesforce.
Campaigns associated with
If you're a Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise user, this setting allows you to associate your workflows to any of your campaigns. Click the Campaigns associated with dropdown menu and select a campaign name.
Unenrollment and suppression
When contacts enroll in this workflow
This setting allows you to decide what will happen to enrolled contacts who are also enrolled in another workflow. By default, contacts will not be removed from other workflows.
- Do not remove them from other workflows: contacts will remain enrolled in other workflows.
- Remove them from all other workflows: once the contact is enrolled in this workflow, they will be removed from all other workflows.
- Remove them from a specific workflow: once the contact is enrolled in this workflow, they will be removed from any workflow you select from the dropdown menu. Click the Remove them from specific workflows dropdown menu to select the specific workflow(s).
When a contact no longer meets the enrollment conditions, remove them from this workflow?
This workflow setting determines whether a contact will be removed if they fail to meet the enrollment criteria once they've already been enrolled.
The No, keep them in this workflow option is selected by default. Select Yes, remove them from this workflow to remove contacts when they no longer meet the starting enrollment criteria.
This setting also applies to test contacts. If you enroll a test contact that does not meet the enrollment triggers when this setting is enabled, they will be automatically unenrolled from the workflow and will not execute any of the steps.
Suppression lists for this workflow
Click the Suppression lists for this workflow dropdown menu and select a list of contacts that you don't want enrolled in the workflow.
Adding a suppression list to a workflow will do one of three things:
- Contact is not currently enrolled in the workflow and is a member of the suppression list: the contact will not be enrolled in the workflow even if they meet the enrollment triggers at a later time, and will appear in the workflow's history as being found in a suppression list and unenrolled.
- Contact is currently enrolled in the workflow and is a member of the suppression list: the contact will be unenrolled when they reach the next step in the workflow.
- Contact is currently enrolled in the workflow and is not a member of the suppression list: the contact will remain in the workflow. However, if they meet the criteria of the suppression list at a later time (while still active in the workflow), they will then be unenrolled.
If a contact is removed from a suppression list, they will not automatically enroll in the workflow even if they still meet the workflow's enrollment triggers at the time. Contacts are only enrolled in a workflow at the moment they meet the workflow's enrollment triggers or re-enrollment triggers.
Please note:
- Only Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise users can create suppression lists for workflows. If you are a Sales Hub or Service Hub Professional or Enterprise user, learn how to unenroll or exclude contacts in contact-based workflows with goals.
- If you are trying to unenroll or exclude objects in company-based, deal-based, quote-based, or ticket-based workflows, learn how to set unenrollment triggers.

I believe that taking the path of least resistance–while very Tao, maaan, VERY Tao–is usually the lazy path, the indecisive path, the path of fear and trepidation and the path least likely to lead to change or measurable results.
I also believe that taking the path of most resistance–of choosing to do something difficult for the sake of doing it or because it's the accepted thing to do, or somebody bullied you into it–is pointlessly messing with the natural flow of life and will probably lead to failure, pain, fear, and loss.
By the way, this is not a political post. I feel like I always have to clarify that these days.
My son had a doctor's appointment recently and when his snarky condescending doctor asked about his sleep habits, I told her (some of) the truth: he still wakes up at night but less often. Sometimes he goes back to sleep on his own, sometimes he calls for me and I have to lie down with him to get him back to sleep.
She didn't say anything, but she did give me the wicked side eye. She's a proponent of sleep training, you see. She has three children and she's a doctor so she knows everything there is to know about children and sleep habits. Except for children who hate sleeping, of course, which is my child.
I know that if I had asked (and belieeeeeve me, I learned not to ask for her advice or opinion a long time ago), she would have chided me for not reading the 6 books she recommended to me forever ago and told me that I'm a horrible mother for helping my child fall asleep. She also once told me that if I rock my infant son, he'll still be 13 years old and expecting me to rock him. I'm absolutely positive that's true. All 13-year-old boys who were rocked to sleep demand their mothers rock them every night. That's common knowledge, right?
But my son's like me: busy minded. And it's hard for us to fall asleep. So I lie down with him. We watch a couple of videos on my phone (also a no-no according to everyone who can sleep without help). We talk about what we did that day or about his toys or about the video we just watched. And I let him snuggle up to me and pull my head toward his for kisses until he falls asleep.
I don't think I'm taking the path of least resistance. I don't co-sleep (unless I fall asleep there which… happens but it's not a parenting philosophy so much as a pitfall). I don't succumb to every pre-bed time request (more water, more videos, more play time).
But I refuse to take the path of most resistance because of the damage I know it'll do. He's still a young toddler and I don't see anything wrong with helping him get to sleep. I do all the things with him that I do on my own to help me fall asleep. When he gets a little older, I'll teach him that he can do all of those things by himself. But I'm not going to leave him crying or screaming or helpless to get his body to rest when I know what the problem is and how to solve it. That's just cruel.
I get the feeling that a lot of the "training" activities the "experts" are so fond of are just excuses for adults to be selfish and force their children to be more convenient. Potty training at 16 months? It's because you don't want to change diapers anymore. Cry It Out? It's because you want to get more sleep. I like convenience too but I also enjoy not screwing up my kid for the sake of my ME time.

Hey all! Just wanted to say that I've see a new project: Loving Hugs. If you've got a lot of teddy bears that you want to give to a great cause, this is the project for you!
Also, I've added the ability to search projects based on which have team deductible components to them. This may come in handy if this is an important factor in selecting a project.
That's all for now, but I'll post more as things come up!

I think this article is useful for beginners, intermediate and even advanced. I transcribe original in English
If words like "grids," "cells," "data," and "formula" crawl under your skin like a bad case of the heebie-jeebies, chances are you've been a victim of Microsoft Excel. A bad experience with Excel can haunt you the same way the smell of a certain alcohol turns your stomach years after the last time you overindulged.
Microsoft Excel, one of the foundational programs in Microsoft Office, is a wickedly powerful program—"wicked" in that it can do dozens upon dozens of time-saving stunts that most people, unfortunately, never learn. What's more, when you do learn a new trick in Excel, you can forget it within days if you don't practice it. It's a matter of use-it-or-lose-it. The ten essential tips and tricks in this article are here to stay; you might want to bookmark this page so you can refer back to the instructions and helpful screenshots for a day when you're skills get rusty.
While beginners can appreciate the ten tips we've put together here for you, intermediate and advanced users may also discover something new, too. Some examples of what's covered in this list of tips are: how to customize Excel's default workbook, how to toggle between results and the formula that create them, and how to alphabetize or sort (i.e., "filter") a spreadsheet based on a single column's data. If those tips sound too rudimentary for you, see the end of this article for links to other tips for intermediate and advanced Excel users.

_______________________ THE EUx ENCODINGS v0.1h This package is a step towards offering a LaTeX font encoding based on unicode. An example file "test-euxlm.ltx" is distributed with the package. This package is mainly used underneath the fontspec package; unless you wish to manually perform font installation and loading, you will generally not need to use euenc directly. The euenc package provides the EU1 encoding for unicode fonts in XeTeX, and the EU2 encoding for unicode fonts in LuaTeX. No macro support is offered under XeTeX, for which Ross Moore's xunicode package should be used to provide LaTeX support for access to unicode symbols and accents. For LuaTeX, we have taken a subset of xunicode and incorporated it into the EU2 encoding, so no extra packages need to be loaded. Please see the documentation euenc.pdf for further information. This package is developed at <http://github.com/wspr/euenc>. Installation ------------ Here are the recommended installation methods (preferred first). 1. If you are using TeX Live 2008 or later, use 'tlmgr install euenc'. Alternatively, try your (TeX or Linux) distribution's package management system. 2. a. Download euenc.tds.zip from CTAN. b. Unzip it at the root of one or your TDS trees. c. You may need to update some filename database after, see your TeX distribution's manual for details. 3. a. Grab the sources from CTAN or github. b. Run 'make install TEXMFROOT=/path/to/texmf'. c. See 2c. 4. Try to figure it out by looking at the Makefile and comments in the sources.

Food for Thought…
Sometimes there are things that people just need to know… and I think this is one of them.
Do you KNOW what you are eating?
We have increasingly become a culture of instant gratification. More and more people seem to believe that they do not have enough expertise, and we tend to look to others to solve our problems— our health, our education, our taxes— you name it, there's somebody out there more expert than we are, and we'd just like them to take of it for us, thank you.
BUT… it's important to wake up and realize that if we want to be healthy, wealthy and wise… it may be a dirty job but WE have to do it… we cannot keep thinking that somebody else "out there" is going to be taking care of things for us. So here's to becoming empowered and making intelligent choices. And here's to the power of even ONE person in making a change. Giant oaks come from little acorns— it takes just one small seed to make a great oak tree!
Is real food too much to ask for? Are you taking responsibility for your own, and your family's, well-being? You can start by becoming more aware, becoming more educated, and allowing yourself to grow and expand.

Magical Milk Pic-o-the-Week
Breastfeeding Rocks!
"I'm a BFAR mom -- we are breastfeeding after a breast reduction I had many years ago. It presents challenges, particularly low supply, but we worked through it with herbs and medicines to increase supply, as well as an at-breast supplementer. I eventually stopped using all that, and I thought my daughter, A, would stop nursing as well, but she still nurses for comfort. And we have, against all odds, entered the world of extended nursing."

The Jacksons
Tour Dates 2020
The Jacksons concert tickets are on sale. You can find the list of The Jacksons tour dates here.
The Jackson 5 (also spelled The Jackson Five, or The Jackson 5ive), later known as The Jacksons, or simply Jackson, were an American popular music family group from Gary, Indiana. Founding group members Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael formed the group after performing in an early incarnation called The Jackson Brothers, which originally consisted of a trio of the three older brothers. Active from 1964 to 1990, the Jacksons played from a repertoire of R&B, soul, pop and (in the 1970s) disco. During their six-and-a-half-year Motown tenure, The Jackson 5 were one of the biggest pop-music acts of the 1970s, and the band served as the launching pad for the solo careers of their lead singers Jermaine and Michael, the latter brother later transforming his early Motown solo fame into greater success as an adult artist. The Jackson 5/The Jacksons has sold 100 million records worldwide.

One family staying in La Forge opted to stay and enjoy the garden and pool today while the other family in La Veille Maison took a trip to our favorite beach at Carnac.
As its the last day tomorrow for both sets of guest its a role reversal talking with them this evening as the other group head to Carnac while the others enjoy the pool.
Its very noticeable each season in that although the swimming pool is shared during the summer months its a rare day that both sets of guest stay in - that's the beauty of Brittany, with so much to see and do most guest are away from the holiday cottages most days and in fact the pool is not being used.
|Naomi cleaning the pool while guest are out and about sight seeing
While the guest are out and about we get the chance to clean the pool and do jobs around the garden. I am always amazed how much work is involved in keeping every thing immaculate but then when people have booked well in advance and looking forward to there holiday its important that every thing is immaculate.

Mirko Ilić, Steven Heller, Taymor Julie con Presenting Shakespeare: 1,100 Posters from Around the World
A skull held aloft, a lovesick donkey, a bloodied dagger—these familiar icons are instantly recognizable shorthand for the plays of William Shakespeare. In the four hundred years since his death, the Bard of Avon's exalted place in the pantheon of theater and poetry—indeed, all of Western culture—is unequaled. As Ben Jonson proclaimed, Shakespeare "is not of an age but for all time!"
And just as centuries of theatrical artists have reimagined his works through the lens of their own time and culture, so too have illustrators and designers been inspired to create posters that reinvent Shakespeare's well-known themes for each new generation of theatergoers. Presenting Shakespeare collects 1,100 posters for Shakespeare's plays, designed by an international roster of artists representing 55 countries, from Japan to Colombia, India, Russia, Australia, and beyond. A fascinating trove of theatrical artifacts, Presenting Shakespeare is a necessary volume for theater and design lovers alike.

The Prophet in Icelandic! In Icelandic! The Prophet! I cannot describe my joy at this.
Closely followed by the delight of The Handmaid's Tale in Icelandic (Saga of the Handmaids).
I can report that used bookstores are the same everywhere; I want to stay in them all day and cart home a box of books.
The logic of the high prices of books in Icelandic revealed itself today: any foreign book translated into Icelandic is being translated, published, and printed for a total audience equaling maybe the population of Victoria, BC. So that's a very expensive prospect and it's only done for a few of the most popular books. "Eat Pray Love" is prominent in bookstores right now. Most books don't get translated into Icelandic- most Icelanders will just read them in English if they want to.


text: Well-defined palladium–gold nanoparticles (PdAuNPs) with randomly alloyed structures and broadly tunable compositions were studied in catalytic nitrite (NO2–) reduction. The catalysts were synthesized using a microwave-assisted polyol coreduction method. PdxAu100–xNPs with systematically varied compositions (x = 18–83) were supported on amorphous silica (SiO2) and studied as model catalysts for aqueous NO2– reduction in a batch reactor, using H2 as the electron donor. The reactions followed pseudo-first-order kinetics for ≥80% NO2– conversion. The PdxAu100–xNP-SiO2 catalysts showed a volcano-like correlation between NO2– reduction activity and x; the highest activity was observed for Pd53Au47, with an associated first-order rate constant of 5.12 L min–1 gmetal–1. Alloy NPs with greater proportions of Au were found to reduce the loss in catalytic activity due to sulfide fouling. Density functional theory calculations indicate that this is because Au weakens sulfur binding at PdAuNP surfaces due to atomic ensemble, electronic, and strain effects and thus reduces sulfur poisoning. The environmental relevance of the most active supported catalyst was evaluated by subjecting it to five cycles of catalytic NO2– reduction. The catalytic activity decreased over multiple cycles, but analysis of the postreaction PdxAu100–xNP-SiO2 materials using complementary techniques indicated that there were no significant structural changes. Most importantly, we show that PdxAu100–xNP-SiO2 alloys are significantly more active NO2– reduction catalysts in comparison to pure Pd catalysts.

This week is my little boy's last week in crèche. Come Friday, he is going to have his graduation (yes, you read that one right!), then two full months of summer holidays and in September he will be starting school, along with the other 'big' boys and girls who will become his school friends.
It is a momentous event, if not consciously for him, who is not yet aware of how important this step is, for me and his dad. Childhood is full of milestones: the first smile, the first spoonful of real food, the first word, step, full night of sleep…but the start of school feels particularly emotional for us. School will be such a big part of his life: it will set the basis for so much, in terms of education and all the amazing things that come with it, that we know we will remember his first day forever.
I can already imagine us getting ready, on that first morning, me and his dad probably fussing around him in a way that will leave him puzzled, to say the least. I know we will be taking a picture of him when about to leave the house, with his coat and school bag. I also know we will print it out and keep it alongside the one we have from his first day in crèche, four years ago almost, fully dressed and with a teeny-tiny backpack on his shoulders.
I usually use this blog to write about travel, about physical journeys we take to discover the world around us. But this is a big week for us and today I prefer to take a moment to think about a different kind of journey: the one that will bring him just across the road, but will open for him the marvelous world of education, 'big boy' friendships and independence. Like all journeys, I hope it's going to be safe, interesting, fun and exciting. Because you don't need to travel far, to go far. Good luck little bear!

Topic Page: Balances (Weighing instruments)
Apparatus for weighing or measuring mass. The various types include the beam balance, consisting of a centrally pivoted lever with pans hanging from each end, and the spring balance, in which the object to be weighed stretches (or compresses) a vertical coil spring fitted with a pointer that indicates the weight on a scale. Kitchen and bathroom scales are balances.
instrument used in laboratories and pharmacies to measure the mass or weight of a body. A balance functions by measuring the force of gravity that the earth exerts on an object, i.e., its weight. Since the mass of an object is directly proportional to its weight, a balance can also be used to measure mass.
The simplest type of balance, the equal-arm, or beam, balance, is an application of a lever. A uniform bar, the beam, is suspended at its exact center on a knife-edge set at right angles to it. The point of support is called the fulcrum. Two pans of equal weight are suspended from the beam, one at each end, at points equidistant from the fulcrum. Since the center of gravity of a uniform bar is at its midpoint, the beam supporting the pans will be in equilibrium, i.e., will balance on the knife-edge. A long pointer attached at right angles to the beam at the fulcrum indicates zero on a scale when the beam is at rest parallel to a level surface. It shows also the extent of swing of the beam on one side or the other, acting somewhat as a pendulum, when the beam is coming to rest. The object to be weighed is placed on one pan, and standard weights are added to the other until the balance of the beam is established again. The unknown weight can then be determined by adding up the standard weights in the pan.
The platform balance is a form of equal-arm balance in which two flat platforms are attached to the top side of the beam, one at each end. Such a balance has a rider, or weight, mounted on a bar that has a calibrated scale, is parallel to the beam, and connects the supports of the two platforms. This rider is moved along the bar, its edge marking decimal fractions of the unit weight.
On the unequal-arm balance the beam is suspended at a point a very short distance from one of its ends. The object to be weighed is placed on this end, and a small known weight is moved out along the longer arm until balance is obtained. The unknown weight is then determined by using a formula involving the known weight and the distance of each weight from the fulcrum. One example of this type of balance is the steelyard, an ancient device still used in underdeveloped nations because of its portability and low cost; since the difference in length of the arms can multiply the effect of the smaller weight by a factor of 100 or more, a small steelyard hung from a tree can be used, for example, to weigh a side of beef.
A spring balance consists of a coiled spring fixed to a support at one end, with a hook at the other to which the body to be weighed is applied. Within the spring's limit of elasticity, the distance through which it is stretched is directly proportional to the weight of the applied body. A pointer and graduated scale attached to the spring convert this distance into a weight reading.
Although extremely accurate results can be obtained in measuring the weights of minute objects, it is physically impossible to construct any balance perfect enough to yield absolutely accurate determinations. For example, the analytical balance, a type of equal-arm balance, is used for delicate weighing in quantitative chemical analysis and in preparing pharmaceutical prescriptions; it must be kept in a glass case, since its accuracy is easily affected by dust and moisture. A spring balance does not retain its accuracy permanently, for no matter how carefully it is handled, the spring very gradually uncoils even though its limit of elasticity has not been exceeded.
For ordinary purposes the errors are so small that they are considered insignificant, but in chemical analysis it has been necessary to develop methods by which they can be further minimized. A so-called torsion balance, which depends on the twisting of a wire or thread, is employed for weighing, but the term is commonly used to indicate a device for measuring minute electrical and magnetic forces.

Monday, March 17 – St. Patricks Day!
My first day of travel started out early as I snuck in some early morning quality time with some friends before leaving for about a month of travels. 5:00 am came quickly since I was up late trying to fit a month of "stuff" for various climates into my suitcase… I spent some early morning time with one of my housemates since we both realized that would be our only time to see one another before I left, and then I journeyed out to a fun local coffee shop, Callao Cafe for some breakfast and coffee with another friend before she left for work.
Once I got back to the house my other housemate helped me with some last minute details like printing out my travel documents before we said our goodbyes and she left for work. (I have learned the hard way that even though technology is great and saves paper; having printed documents of your travels is still a good idea)
I ran some last minute errands and finished packing before my friend, Kyra picked me up to drive to her hometown in Pittsburgh. We had a great time of catching up as time seemed to slip by at a fast pace. I got to meet some delightful family friends of hers who hosted us for the evening. I got the hometown tour and got a glimpse of Kyra's childhood and what growing up in her neighborhood would have been like.
We visited some local dining favorites like "Drew's" (as they called it) as others were pointed out along the way. If you ever end up taking a step back in time at "Drew's Restaurant" and you want to order pancakes; make sure to ask how big they are…which I have decided should be a required question now when ordering such breakfast food. The 3 pancakes were bigger than my head. No joke. I think Kyra is still laughing about it.
Then Kyra took me for a driving tour of downtown Pittsburgh – I enjoyed checking out all the sights as we drove around for a bit before heading back for a long brisk and energizing walk…which I really needed and am grateful that the day was perfect for it. Later in the evening we "celebrated" St. Patricks Day with some green sweets…
Tuesday, March 18
Since my flight was leaving at noon, we wanted to get in some more quality time and breakfast. Kyra took me to a really fun place called "The Square Cafe" – a local bright spot with fun colorful colors and an energetic atmosphere. I enjoyed their tag line – "Eat. Play. Love." and tried the "Last Unicorn" latte, which made me want to hug the waitress, it was that good – I've never had a lavender, vanilla, white chocolate latte before, and I think I have a new fav. The food was amazing, fresh, and flavorful. I would definitely go back again.
After breakfast we made our way to the Pittsburgh airport and said our "goodbyes for now" …. I breezed my way through the PGH airport until my flight which would take me to the next part of my adventure.

Michael Najjar | Biography
The pace of technological progress has accelerated to the point that the future is happening far faster than we could ever have anticipated. Michael Najjar belongs to that contemporary artistic vanguard which takes a critical look at the technological forces shaping the early 21st century. In his photo and video works Najjar approaches art with an interdisciplinary mindset, transmuting the fields of science, art, and technology into visions and utopias of future social structures emerging under the impact of cutting-edge technologies.
Born in 1966 in Landau, Germany, Najjar attended the bildo Academy of Arts in Berlin from 1988 – 1993, where he was trained in the practices of conceptional and interdisciplinary art. During this time he discovered the visionary theories of media philosophers such as Vilém Flusser, Paul Virilio and Jean Baudrillard which have markedly influenced his later work.
In his conceptual work Najjar magnifies and re-examines the potential of the technical image through constant reconstruction of time and space using a wide range of techniques in thematically focused work series. These range from depictions of the human body transformed by biogenetic intervention, transformation of megacities through condensed information networks, and virtualization of financial markets with smart algorithms to the future of space exploration based on new scientific, engineering, and technological outcomes. His pictorial language of form and content guides the viewer into a complex construction of simulated reality generated by the montage of numerous image sources and elements. Alongside this, the performative aspect of his artistic practice has shifted into sharper focus in his current "outer space" work series for which he decided to become an astronaut and fly into space in the near future on board a newly developed spaceship. He now uses his own body for performative action, testing his limits in physically and mentally demanding, highly complex technical environments. Such extraordinary borderline experiences inform his unique photo and video artworks. Throughout his oeuvre, Michael Najjar repeatedly questions the relationship between reality and its representation through the technical image. His work is distinguished by its supreme technical precision, innate sharpness, and highly artful reinter-pretation of reality.
Najjar´s work has been included in many international museum exhibitions and biennials. Harald Szeemann exhibited his work in 2004 in "The Beauty of Failure / The Failure of Beauty" at the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona. His work formed part of the 2006 Venice Biennale's 10th International Architecture Exhibition, the 9th Havana Biennale 2006 and Convergence Biennale Beijing 2007. In 2008, a large-scale, comprehensive survey was presented at the Museum for Contemporary Art GEM in The Hague. In 2011 he participated in the milestone exhibition "Atlas – How to carry the world on one´s back", shown at the Museo Reina Sofía, ZKM Museum for Contemporary Art and Deichtorhallen / Phönixhallen Hamburg. In 2015 he was a selected artist at the ZKM | Globale where work from his current "outer space" series was shown in the groundbreaking exhibition "Exo-Evolution" curated by Peter Weibel.
He has also exhibited at the Academy of Arts, Berlin; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Kunsthalle Hamburg / Galerie der Gegenwart, Hamburg; Deichtorhallen - International Museum of Photography, Hamburg; Marta Museum, Herford; Edith Russ Site for Media Art Oldenburg; Museum of Art, Tucson; Science Museum, London; Museum of Contemporary Art, Birmingham; New Media Art Institute, Amsterdam; FORMA International Centre for Photography, Milan; Centre pour l´image contemporaine, Geneva; Museo DA2 (Domus Artium 2002), Salamanca; Centro de Arte Contemporaneo, Málaga; Museo Es Baluard, Palma de Mallorca; National Museum of Science, Taipeh; Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing.
Work by Michael Najjar is held in renowned museum collections, including the ZKM Museum for Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Museum Deichtorhallen Hamburg; Gemeente Museum, The Hague; Centro de Arte Contemporaneo, Málaga; Museo Es Baluard, Palma de Mallorca; and in many leading corporate and private collections. His work is featured in a wide range of international publications.

Below the 160-meter medium-wave amateur band from 1.8 to 2.0 MHz, and below the even-lower frequency AM broadcast band from 0.535 to 1.720 MHz, is an interesting long-wave band between 0.190 and 0.530 MHz populated with CW callsigns.
This is roughly the frequency area where most amateurs operated prior to the 1906 Berlin Radio Conference, and is also the area where ships operated until their recent shift to other modes and frequencies.
So, why are there CW callsigns being broadcast in this frequency range? Many of these are non-directional radio beacons, or NDBs — CW transmitters positioned at known locations throughout the country that are used as navigational aids for planes, ships, and anyone who cares to use them.
In North America, most of the NDBs are found between 0.190 and 0.530 MHz. Each station is identified by a one, two, or three letter Morse Code callsign. In Canada, however, private airports that have NDBs consist of a Morse Code letter and number. The power output of NDBs can range from less than 50 watts to 2,000 watts or so, but most are in the range of 25 to 50 watts.
In my area, around Hiawatha, Kansas, for example, the NDB stations in Table 1 and their frequencies can be readily heard. The coordinates are given in degrees-minutes-seconds format.
A full list of the NDBs for North America can be found at http://bit.ly/NZMkl2.
Besides this list, many of the NDB callsigns can be Googled on the Web individually and will provide a wealth of location information. For example, in looking up the RPB beacon, the website indicates the elevation above sea level, information about the landing field, the local magnetic deviation from true north, other nearby NDBs, and amenities at the airport. Actually, it can be used in long distance transportation industry and logistics, like morton grove movers sucessfully use this approach in their business.
For people just learning CW and wanting to practice copying at a leisurely pace, listening and copying down the NDB call signs is good practice. The call signs are repeated over and over at a slow speed, and consist of no more than three letters. Some NDBs will even respond to a signal report with a QSL card to put on your wall.

To successfully negotiate and interact with one's environment, optimal cognitive functioning is needed. Unfortunately, many neurological and psychiatric diseases impede certain cognitive abilities such as executive functioning or speed of processing; this can produce a poor fit between the patient and the cognitive demands of his or her environment. Such nondementia diseases include bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression, and anxiety disorders, just to name a few. Each of these diseases negatively affects particular areas of the brain, resulting in distinct cognitive profiles (e.g., deficits in executive functioning but normal speed of processing as seen in schizophrenia). In fact, it is from these cognitive deficits in which such behavioral and emotional symptoms may manifest (e.g., delusions, paranoia). This article highlights the distinct cognitive profiles of such common neurological and psychiatric diseases. An understanding of such disease-specific cognitive profiles can assist nurses in providing care to patients by knowing what cognitive deficits are associated with each disease and how these cognitive deficits impact everyday functioning and social interactions. Implications for nursing practice and research are posited within the framework of cognitive reserve and neuroplasticity.
