URKUND offers a fully-automated system for handling plagiarism. In short, the students send their documents to their teachers by e-mail. Along the electronic route between student and teacher, the documents are checked against three central source areas: Internet, published material and student material. If any document displays similarities with the content in the three sources, the system will flag it for possible plagiarism. An analysis overview is generated and sent by e-mail to the teacher concerned. The analysis overview presents in a simplified form the information needed by the teacher in order to determine if plagiarism has occurred.
Easy to use
URKUND does not require any software installation, no use of complex interfaces and no login to any website; neither for the student nor the teacher. This means that the service is very easy to use and introduce into an organisation.
Integrated system
It is important to differentiate between URKUND's e-mail based system and other tools, whereby the teacher needs to log in to a website and upload the students' documents for checking.
The most important differences are listed below:
Less work involved
URKUND's e-mail based system automatically checks all submitted documents with no extra effort required on the part of the teacher. If teachers use other tools requiring that they themselves select and upload documents, each check implies extra workload. If all documents need to be checked, it will require a major extra effort on the part of many different teachers. Consequently, the most likely scenario is that few documents will actually be checked using such a method.
Plagiarism means the copying of another person's material and using such copied material as if it were one's own work, without citing a quotation or stating a source. (SAOB, book 20 [in translation]).
Time and resources
Checking for plagiarism requires time and resources; this is something that the majority of teachers do not have in abundance. Teachers are frequently obliged to prioritise other matters, making it harder to discover plagiarism.
The fact that plagiarism is difficult to screen for is a problem in itself, but only if there is consensus as to plagiarism being wrong to start with. So why is plagiarism wrong?
Legal problem
In a report to the Swedish Association of University Teachers', SULF, congress in November 2002, Claes Sandgren, Professor of Civil Law, presented various copyright issues within universities and colleges. He stated that, "Internet is both a legal problem and a control problem. Cheating and plagiarism are not more tolerable just because work is stolen from the Internet rather than from a book or magazine. However, the ability to screen has become more difficult, and it is has become easier for those wishing to cheat to steal from each other" (Universitetsläraren magazine, 17/2002).
STUDENT - Students send their documents via e-mail, web upload or LMS to their teachers/professors. With the e-mail option, no software needs to be installed.
URKUND - When the documents arrive at URKUND, they are analysed against the content of three source areas: the Internet, Published Material and Student Material. When the analyses are finished, the documents and generated reports are forwarded to the teachers.
THE TEACHERS - The result of the analyses and the student documents are forwarded to the teacher's e-mail address of choice, straight into an LMS or the URKUND web based inbox. URKUND provides easy, straight-forward plagiarism prevention with minimum workload.
The most important measures against plagiarism are those that create preventative effects, that is, which prevent plagiarism altogether.
URKUND has a very strong preventative effect, with a number of factors contributing. Implementing a system like URKUND sends a clear signal that plagiarism is unacceptable and that the resources to address the problem are in place. Having students run their papers through the system also helps to reinforce its preventative effect.
It is important to clarify that URKUND is not a teaching method – you can use any teaching method you are comfortable with, and still use URKUND. There is no contradiction here.
Different teaching methods vary in their ability to make plagiarism more or less difficult. Our view at URKUND is that everyone should review their teaching methods, and, if possible, adapt them to make plagiarism more difficult. However, teaching methods should not be changed simply to hinder plagiarism. The educational ideas and values you believe in must be taken into account, while also making sure to implement new teaching methods within the limits of available resources.
Three different source areas:
- The Internet
- Published material (see below)
- Previously submitted student texts (over 33 million. October 2017)
URKUND has formed strategic partnerships with a number of leading information providers, such as DIVA (Digital Scientific Archive), Iustus, Nationalencyklopedin, ProQuest, Historiska Media, Kumlatofta förlag, Leopard förlag, MBM Förlag, Nordiska Ministerrådet, Remus förlag, SERUM, Sine Metu Productions, SLFF, Stockholm University Press, Volante, Bookhouse Publishing, Bromberg Bokförlag AB, Casewood Publikationer, Folkuniversitetet Akademiska Press, Förlag1, Förlags AB Björnen, I.C at Once, Kabusa Förlag, Langenskiöld, BL-info and Björn Lundén Information AB.
Safety is something that URKUND takes very seriously. It is very important that our customers' data is protected. Our servers are therefore protected behind firewalls and the document database is completely closed and can not be called from outside. The archive search module can not be engaged other than when the internal search program identifies a Client Integration Code and a Unit Integration Code. The communication to and from the service via our Web-service uses transport level security, using TLS/SSL. No third party has access to the Internet traffic. URKUND is not subject to the US PATRIOT Act as the system and its components are entirely owned by a Swedish company.
An URKUND subscription contains:
- A system for plagiarism checks
- Information material and manuals
- User support
- Contact person at URKUND
Our clients are mainly academic institutions; today, a multitude of universities and higher education institutions around the world use URKUND to detect and prevent plagiarism effectively. Secondary schools are also starting to see the benefits of plagiarism detection and URKUND is widely appreciated amongst students, teachers and principals – more than 800 of Sweden's lower secondary schools use URKUND today.
Companies are also using URKUND to ensure their documents' originality and to track the spread of their texts, especially on the internet. URKUND is a trusted partner in these corporations' businesses.
URKUND's clients are from all over the world, with concentrations in the Nordic region and in Europe.
URKUND is owned and developed by PrioInfo AB. PrioInfo is a company with over 25 years' experience of the requirements and needs of information-intensive organisations.
URKUND originated in the academic world. A team of teachers developed the idea of a web-based service that would help them detect and deter plagiarism and URKUND was born in the autumn of 2000. The problems of plagiarism received more and more attention in the media and more and more people began to realise the scope of the problem and the need for a tool to support pedagogical work. URKUND continued to grow and develop over the years and came to be recognised as Sweden's foremost anti plagiarism service.
Today, URKUND is present in our neighbouring countries and continental Europe as well as the USA, Asia and the Middle East.
URKUND is now a natural part of the educational work of the academic world. Both faculty and students are aware of the immediate and long term benefits of our system.
The need for URKUND has also been recognised by the Government and private enterprises. They require methods of asserting that documents that are to be published are free from plagiarism and that their intellectual property isn't plagiarised in turn.
For more than 25 years PrioInfo has been the exclusive agent for a number of publishers and owners of information around the world. Over the years PrioInfo has supplied databases, e-books and other electronic resources to libraries, universities, colleges, chemists, companies and organisations in the Nordic countries. The common denominator for these customers has been their different types of information needs. Based on sterling knowledge, PrioInfo has ensured that the various needs have been met in the best possible manner.
One of PrioInfo's strengths has been to function as a driving and coordinating force in consortium projects, in which organisations with similar information needs have entered into coordinated procurements of electronic resources. PrioInfo has coordinated a large number of consortia within different subject areas and varying levels of scope.
PrioInfo has owned and refined the URKUND plagiarism screening service since 2005. URKUND is one of the world's leading systems for discovering and preventing plagiarism within all types of educational institutions. State and private companies as well as publishing houses and authors see a clear need for URKUND. They use URKUND to ensure that texts for publication do not contain plagiarism, and to ensure that their copyright-protected material itself is protected from being plagiarised.
In 2012 PrioInfo sold its retail business to focus on URKUND.

I started this little project because I have a client whom needs to get his 24 page PDF online. The problem is that a 24 page PDF with all the bells and whistles ends up being over 5mb in size. This causes issues for people running sub-cable internet connections, as the loading time becomes horrendous. So to solve the problem, I am going to run the PDF as a download by choice and have all the links point to the HTML converted page when they click on what page they want to see. This does cause problems if something is updated on the PDF, the HTML is not dynamic or binded to the PDF so an update will have to occur in both places. The only way around that is to have the HTML being the origionating source and have the 'download as pdf' link be a call to a server side script that packages the HTML as a PDF. That however is too much for what this client needs and the issues with the updating will have to be taken in stride.
Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space.
-Tim Berners-Lee
Tools Needed
- RTF or DOC reader (I prefer LibreOffice) that can convert to HTML
- A Program designed to convert PDF to DOC format (I used Able2dDoc, licensed)
Unfortunately, In my case, the PDF contained a large amount of tables that were made up by images after conversion. Because of this, I had to handle things a little bit different, in which I will explain later.
First things first, let's convert to HTML
Using the software I used, Able2Doc, if you load up the PDF you can simply convert the file to a DOC format. Notice, not many converters will go straight from PDF to DOC or RTF formats. Once you are able to convert the PDF to DOC or RTF, you can then open up that file into Microsoft Office or Open Office. Both have the ability to Open up these files and then Export them as HTML.
Microsoft Office way of doing things
Office is really simple. Take the document you are in and go to
File->Save As->Other
Then after that you can go click and change the type to an HTML Document… put in the name and your done!
Open Offices' way of doing things
In Open Office, it is actually easier! Just have your document open and then go to File->Save As and you can then select the HTML from the drop down list. No extra step as there is in Word.
When things get messy…
You have to start to get creative. I know, it stinks, when things just don't go your way. I mentioned earlier that I my specific issue just could not be settled by this process only because the images in the PDF were making up the tables and the text did not stick inside the image/tables when changed to HTML. I ended having to go with a slightly altered reality, but the end result to the user is near the same.
The idea that I had was to split the PDF into images. This was actually really easy to do. I swapped over to linux for this part (Ubuntu Gutsy). The PDF Reader program has the ability to output to JPG for your PDF's. This came in very handy, I simply outputted the PDF I was using, 28 pages of it, as JPG's and then used to Javascript to make a nice little setup for Checking out the picutres.
function PageQuery(q) {
What else?
Once this code is in place, it is possible to verify what it is trying to do. It will parse a query address URL and looking for the specific information showing on whatever variable is pass in. This is giving JavaScript the ability to know what a variable is from a JavaScript or PHP equivalent to the Get variables.
Now it is needed to give the code that will change values of a select box, so the complete picture will come into view.

function loadPage(value) {
That was pretty much what the JavaScript needed, and then I could handle everything else from HTML which made things much easier.

Build your own farmhouse style pedestal table with our free step by step plans for under $100 in materials.
This table features a farmhouse style 4x4 base, with a planked wood top. You can easily cut the top into a circle, or keep it square. We love this table in a breakfast nook, or as a family dining table.
- 5 - 1x4 @ 8 feet long
- 2 - 4x4 @ 8 feet long
- 2 - 2x4 @ 8 feet long
- 2 - 2x6 @ 8 feet long (for framing out top)
- 1 1/4" and 2 1/2" pocket hole screws
- 4" or longer lag screws
- 2" or longer wood screws
- 2 - 1x4 @ 11 5/8"
- 1 - 1x4 @ 26 7/8"
- 2 - 1x4 @ 13 1/4"
- 1 - 1x4 @ 30"
- 1 - 4x4 @ 21 1/4"
- 8 - 4x4 @ 13" (longest point measurement, both ends cut at 45 degrees off square not parallel)
- 1 - 4x4 @ 36" (longest point measurement, both ends cut at 30 degrees off square not parallel)
- 2 - 4x4 @ 16 1/4" (longest point measurement, one end cut at 30 degrees off)
- 4 - 1x4 @ 5 1/4" (one end cut at 30 degrees off square, longest point measurement)
- 2 - 2x4 @ 14 1/4" (one end cut at 30 degrees off square, longest point measurement)
- 1 - 2x4 @ 32" (both ends cut at 30 degrees off square, longest point measurement, ends NOT parallel)
- TOP is cut to fit
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Step 1
Start by building two Xs with your Kreg Jig
Step 2
Then attach the Xs to the middle post - don't worry if things feel a little wobbly here, the X bracing will take care of that.
Step 3
Add the X bracing.
Step 4
To the base, add the 4x4s.
If you feel the base of this X isn't stable enough, you can throw a few countersunk screws in on the underside, or even a metal mending plate and screws - it'll be hidden.
Step 5
The feet on the bottom of the table help the table rest on points (so it doesn't rock). Attach with brad nails and glue.
We also recommend felt pads to prevent floors from scratching.
Step 6
Now back to the top, add the 2x4 X and that's the base done!
Step 7
For the top you could simply place a premade tabletop on or just a square one, but we decided to try something a little different. Definitely cut these pieces as you go!
Step 8
Then attach two portions to center 2x4s - measure and cut to fit
Step 9
then measure and cut to fit the last 2x4 and add to center
Step 10
Outside boards are 2x6 - frame with mitered corners.
Step 11
Attach tabletop to base with screws
It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
We apologize if there was an error in this plan. Please help us out and report any errors here.

Love this design!! Do you
Love this design!! Do you think it would be possible for it to be turned into a hexagon shape? We have been looking for a smaller table that would be good for 4 people on a regular basis but occasionally fit 6. I know round tables would be hard to manage on a DIY project, but a hexagon seems doable, although I'm definitely not skilled enough to know if I'm wrong. :D
Thu, 09/26/2013 - 16:14
Love This Design~!!
I am in need of a table that is 4 X 6 but Love this style, would it be possible to twerk it a little bit to make it work? If so could you help me on details...My nook seating is 4 X 6, or would I be able to make this 5 X 5 and have it work out?

Measurements off ??
Not sure I was going to down size this for a night stand and I think the Measurements on the cross pices for the top are off now its been awhile since I have had to work with fractions but I come up with 26 3/4 for length not 26 7/8

5'x5' table with detachable legs

Cannot find 4X4's
Love this table so much! I am a newbie, so forgive me if this is a no-brainer....I cannot seem to find 4X4's that are pine or whitewood anywhere. The only ones are for fence posts and not the prettiest- they are also cedar and cost $26. Am I missing something? I have checked every lumber yard and big box store that I know (Atlanta).
Mon, 08/04/2014 - 10:57
Look for Fir construction grade
I haven't seen 4x4's in pine, but they should be common in the construction grade lumber, which is all Douglas Fir on the west coast. They are sanded better than fence posts, and should be around $10.

People who drive while using their mobile phones should be seen as "hidden killers", a peer has warned.
The stark warning was issued during a Parliamentary debate highlighting the hidden danger of using mobile phones while driving.
Read more on the Drive For Justice campaign here:
DRIVE FOR JUSTICE: 'I was given life sentence by death crash drivers'
DRIVE FOR JUSTICE: 'Cars are weapons in the wrong hands - like guns'
DRIVE FOR JUSTICE: 'The drink driver who killed my husband did not deserve to live'
Drive For Justice campaign victory
The debate was called by Conservative peer Baroness Emma Pidding who praised our Drive For Justice campaign for highlighting the scandal of lenient sentencing for those who kill on the roads.
The investigation revealed how drivers who kill have been sentenced to an average of just four years in prison with dozens escaping jail altogether.
No-one has been handed the maximum 14-year sentence for causing death by dangerous driving it was extended from 10 years in 2004.
Lady Pidding said: "I especially congratulate the Johnston Press group and its new investigations unit, which last month ran a series of hard-hitting stories highlighting the gap between sentencing for killer drivers and the level of sanctions expected by grieving families.
"The Drive For Justice Campaign, run by titles including The i, the Scotsman, the Lancashire Evening Post and The Star in Sheffield, is a major contribution to the national debate and a significant boost for public awareness."
Lady Pidding highlighted the spiralling death rate from accidents caused by drivers distracted while using mobiles – in contrast with a marked fall in the number of fixed penalty notices for phoning while driving.
She said: "People recognise drink driving and fatigue at the wheel for the killers they are – and there is no shortage of campaigning against them. I see phone-driving as the hidden killer. I want it to become as socially unacceptable as drink driving."

I have so many hopes and ideals for this blog! I want to share about business updates on here, but more importantly share lessons I might be learning as a Mother to four children myself. Book reviews, Product Reviews, and little tips along the way. Being a Mother is such hard work, and I have been so encouraged by different blogs I have read. I pray that this will be an encouragement for some Moms!
The Modest Mom is growing and getting new products added to it. We just added nursing covers, and Women's skirts to the store. Hopefully in another month we will be adding some new products that I'm really excited about!

Genetic mutations linked to high levels of 'good' cholesterol
Washington, Mar 17 (ANI): A new study from the University of Pennsylvania has shown that high levels of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), also known as "good" cholesterol, could be tied to genetic mutations.
Individuals with high plasma HDL-C levels have a decreased risk of developing coronary artery disease.
Lead researcher Daniel Rader has identified a gene called LIPG, which when mutated result in high plasma HDL-C levels.
During the study, the researchers looked at 585 subjects of European ancestry, and identified 10 people with previously unreported rare mutated forms of this gene that were unique to subjects with very high HDL-C levels
Further analysis revealed that mutations in the LIPG gene that cause loss of endothelial lipase activity were the cause of increased plasma HDL-C levels.
These data provide important human genetic evidence that inhibition of endothelial lipase is likely to raise HDL-C levels in humans. (ANI)

The school science lab DOT system and other inventory issues
The School Science Lab DOT System
If there is one thing about science chemical labs it is that their inventories are generally a mess. One way to keep them organized is to get rid of the chemicals that are not used annually by performing a chemical sweep. But determining which chemicals were used and which weren't is anyone's guess. Until now. With the simple use of a the DOT system, teachers can mark the bottle and products with a "dot" sticker when they use them. Doing a lab? Dot it. Used a little? Dot it.
Products without stickers haven't been used all year. Making it easy to identify and ask the question – do I really need this? If not, get rid of it.

Algeria stand on the verge of qualification from the World Cup's opening group stage for the first time in their history after producing a first-half display of pace, commitment and no little quality from which Korea, despite eventually improving upon their initial haplessness, could not hope to recover.
The only other occasion when Algeria looked capable of getting out of their group, in 1982, their progress was halted only by an infamous contrived 1-0 victory for West Germany over Austria, which sent both European sides through at their expense. This time they can look forward to facing Russia in the knowledge that unless Korea convincingly beat Belgium, a possibility that on this evidence appears impossibly remote, a draw will be enough to guarantee them a place in the knock-out stage.
The Algeria manager Vahid Halilhodzic made six significant changes to the side that started their opening match against Belgium – five players and one totally transformed attitude. In that 2-1 defeat to the overwhelming group favourites, the first-half penalty successfully converted by Sofiane Feghouli was one of only three shots the team mustered all game, and the only one on target. It took them nine minutes to outdo that performance in Porto Alegre, by which time they had created four shooting opportunities and had a decent penalty claim, when Kim Young-gwon's imprecise attempt to tackle Feghouli went unpunished perhaps because of the Algerian's overly theatrical reaction.
Korea's first-half display ranged from the uncomfortable to the incompetent. On the 12th anniversary of their most famous victory, over Spain on home ground in the 2002 quarter-finals, came perhaps their most embarrassing defeat. Last year Kim's club manager at Guangzhou Evergrande, Marcello Lippi, suggested the defender "could definitely play for Manchester United", which on this performance is either the most savage indictment yet of the English club's recent decline or a statement of ludicrous inaccuracy.
After 26 minutes Carl Medjani sent a long pass looping over the Korean defence and the effervescent Islam Slimani slipped between Kim and his central defensive partner Hong Jeong-ho, outpaced both over a 40-yard foot-race and dinked the ball over Jung Sung-ryong, who stayed rooted to his line throughout, from six yards.
Over 12 minutes Algeria proceeded to score more goals than they had in their last seven World Cup matches, stretching back 28 years, combined. First Rafik Halliche headed in from a corner, helped by Jung's reckless rush from his line. Then in the 38th minute another long ball from defence found both Kim and Hong marking Abdelmoumene Djabou, and when it fell to Slimani both rushed to close him down. This allowed the forward to slip the ball back to the now-unmarked Djabou, who scored with a first-time left-foot shot from 12 yards.
Korea's very few first-half attacks consisted of half-hearted crosses easily headed away by the Algeria defence or punched clear by their goalkeeper, but five minutes into the second half they found a foothold in the match with a goal that fittingly featured a little haplessness in the build-up. Son Heung-min controlled a long ball forward with his back while looking in the wrong direction, but reacted impressively to spin and slot it through Rais Mbolhi's legs with his left foot.
The Asian side swiftly brought on the 6ft 5in Kim Shin-wook, which at least gave them a chance of profiting from those half-hearted crosses. But it was Algeria who scored next, improvising the finest goal of the game on the break as Feghouli carried the ball from the half-way line, passed to Yacine Brahimi, accepted the return, gave it back again and the Granada player controlled well before shooting past Jung.
Five minutes later Korea reduced the arrears once again, Koo Ja-Cheol turning in Lee Keun-ho's driven centre, but though Algeria suffered from both tiredness and tension thereafter their supremacy was rarely threatened.

In this update: Documentary, Presentations, Where are the horses?, Bring Tigon home!, Books, Back to Mongolia and Russia!, Discovery Film
As you know, Tigon, myself, Ogonyok, Taskonir, and Kok took our last steps in September last year in Opusztaser near the Danube river in Hungary. In December after spending time in Romania and Ukraine with my brother Jonathan and mum, Anne, and time in London and Washington for press obligations and the Nat Geo adventure awards, I finally said goodbye to my horses and arrived in Australia.
I will never forget the evening that I arrived at home, and finally laid my backpack to rest. Waking up to the sound of Rosella's and the early summer sun I was overcome with relief and a great sense of appreciation to be at home. My passport was tucked away into a drawer somewhere, and piece-by-piece the contents of my life became scattered about the family home- mementos from three an a half years and hundreds of people I had met. Later my boxes arrived in a shipment from Hungary with saddles, blankets, and tens of books. Many of these items now dangle around my bedroom, still rich with the aroma of my equine pals! Only Tigon remains to be reunited with me in Australia.
I have been very grateful to be home spending time with my mum, and siblings, in particular enjoying home cooked meals, although it has taken some adjusting, eating at the table and not from the cooking pot.
In this update: Documentary, Presentations, Where are the horses?, Bring Tigon home!, Books, Back to Mongolia and Russia!, Discovery FilmAfter a long silence I thought it time to keep you up to date with how life has been going since the journey in the saddle ended, and the one out of the saddle began.
The Documentary Series
After a family Christmas it wasn't long before I was off again, this time to Byron Bay to begin work on the documentary about my journey with editor and friend Mike Balson. Mike worked on Off the Rails eight years ago, and is able to track and grasp the reality of the experiences I encountered. With enormous help from my youngest brother Cameron, all 120 hours of footage were captured and logged on hard drives and there began a process that has been continuing ever since: the evolving of 'In the Steppes of Nomads' which will be a three hour series, hopefully for the ABC and National Geographic. I will keep you posted on any updates I can as this progresses. Presentations Where are the horses? Bring Tigon Home! The Book(s)
One of the major problems of getting Tigon back to Australia is the cost which is far higher than I had ever imagined costing at least $10,000. If anyone is interested in helping to sponsor this travelling canine please don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to figure any such sponsor into an arrangement which would include credits in the books, film, on the website, and of course a lick from Tigon when he arrives!
I will keep you posted on the progress of this as it comes to light.
Back to Mongolia and Russia
I had expected this to be a year of being deskbound writing the book, but so many other challenges and opportunities have since cropped up. Recently I was asked if I would like to guide a group of trekkers with World Expeditions to Mongolia's far west, and to the Altai in Southern Siberia. So although I had not imagined doing so, I have dusted off the passport and will be heading off again on the 4th of July, returning on the 19th of August. This will be a chance among other things to return to Mongolia where I began the journey and meet the people who helped set me sailing on the first hoofsteps of this expedition.
PresentationsAt the same time as working on the film I began to do build some presentations about my journey. They began as talks for Odyssey Travel in Melbourne and Sydney then as motivational presentations for schools in Geelong and Cheltenham, and have since included an NAB conference, Teachers conference in Bendigo, Department of Education teacher's award night in Benalla, and most recently a talk for the Townsville Youth Council. Using film and scanned transparency images I am able to re-live the journey in a way that for me is still raw and exciting to tell. (Thanks to Fuji Film I had over 150 rolls of transparency film to sift through in addition to all of my digital images). I have discovered that no matter whether it is grade six children, or adults, there is something about the existence out on the Eurasian steppe that is relevant to everyone- perhaps because life in a way is distilled out on the steppe. The problems that nomad herders have to face without the invent of our modern technology are no different to those that we encounter every day. For any school (primary or secondary), business, conference, etc looking for a guest speaker you are more than welcome to contact my speaking agent 'Saxtons' on +61 (0)3 9811 3500. Email Sandra Rogerson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Where are the horses?As you may know, I handed over the horses at the end of my journey to the children of the Tiszadob children's home in Hungary. Before I left Hungary I visited them at their new home in the luch green grounds of the 19th century castle which is the feature of the children's home. They were already looking fattened up, rested, and have more than ample grain, hay, and fresh pasture. The local football field has been encircled with a specially set up fence as their running yard, and the Children's home has bought and been donated some riding equipment. They have set up a riding school for the children, and the director later told me that the new punishment for children at the orphanage was 'being banned from a riding lesson.' If the horses effected my life so much, I am sure they will effect the children as well and bring so much more of a sense of meaning to their lives. Every few weeks I receive photos from the children's home, some of which you can see here (see below).
Bring Tigon Home!More importantly than my fate, you are all probably what has happened to Tigon, my fearless dog that travelled with me for so long. Well, pending lengthy quarantine periods, paperwork, and permits, he will hopefully be coming to Australia this year. At the moment he is living on Janos Loska's farm with about 100 horses and free acreage where he can race and run as far as he likes. Janos called to tell me a couple of tales. One evening Janos received a phone call from a horse rider who had ridden from his far. "Janos, I am 50km from your farm, Tigon is still following me…and he has brought all the farm dogs with him!" the man told. Janos had to send a car out to collect them all. Not long after this Tigon spent half a day chasing a horse float from the farm as well. He is certainly the eternal traveller and it is hard to imagine what he thinks might have happened to his caravan of horses and clumsy Australian owner Tim.
The Book(s)Gradually I am beginning work on both a narrative for adults, and a children's book that will be half pawed by Tigon, half by me. This will be a long and difficult process, like sitting back in the saddle on day one all over again, but something I am dedicated to.

This year I attended the 13th Annual Portland Zine Symposium with two other LA Zine Fest organizers in tow, Rhea and Simon. I saw so many old friends, made some new ones, and of course, bought some excellent zines! We were seated next to fellow Angeleno, Donna Letterese, who we knew from when she tabled the first year at LA Zine Fest! I took that as a good omen for the weekend, and I was right!
With two days featuring more than 150 tablers and numerous workshops, there was a lot to see and do at PZS. I always get pumped when Amber Dearest is tabling at an event, because it's a great way for me to stock up on zines from her distro, Fight Boredom, without having to pay the shipping from Montreal. It was great to see Maranda Elizabeth (Telegram zine) and Neelybat Chestnut (Mend My Dress Press). They both tabled and held a workshop at LAZF 2013.
One of the more exciting moments I had during the Zine Symposium was running across an old favorite, Arts & Crafts Revolution. I used to run a zine distro many years ago in high school and distributed that zine! I picked up a DIY zine about book binding and a copy of Terri's perzine, Only Hooligans Write on Desks, which was a really engaging and informative zine about mental health and the welfare system. Unfortunately I can't find these zines available for purchase online, which goes to show how important it is to attend zine fests!
One of the highlights of the whole weekend was getting together with a bunch of zine (and zine-related) event organizers from across the country to talk about the highs and lows of organizing, share tips and tricks and collaborate. We got together with organizers from ABQ (Albuquerque) Zine Fest, Milwaukee Zine Fest, Zinefest Houston, Austin Zine Fest, Portland Zine Symposium and more, and had some really great discussions. Anyone up for a southwest zine fest tour?
Thanks so much to all the organizers, volunteers and tablers of the Portland Zine Symposium for such an awesome time!


text: Afternoon All, I was chatting with a few folks today about EMC and several of them mentioned that SMART meters are causing a lot of noise. Now considering the smart index on these is essentially a mobile phone based tech I was rather surprised to hear these were causing HF interference. Is this something that the RSGB have been made aware of? I work in the gas industry and may have some contacts within smart metering (although its not my area of responsibility). No-one in my street has one (because I have counselled all of them to avoid them until at least SMETS2) Thanks, Matt.

Kanye West did it again.
Just days after halting his live show in San Jose to sound off with a politically-based diatribe, the hip-hop sensation pulled a similar stunt in the Golden State's capital city Saturday night. But this time, West shocked fans and checked out of the venue just 30 minutes after he arrived.
Then on Sunday, the rapper canceled a scheduled show in the Los Angeles area just hours before it was supposed to start.
On Saturday, West took to his now-customary elevated stage at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento 90 minutes after his expected arrival, treated crowds to a few songs before diving into a vehement rant ranging in topics anywhere from castigating Facebook for being laden with lies and dissing Hillary Clinton to scolding Beyonce for stealing the MTV spotlight and chiding Jay-Z for not returning his calls. Once he capped the verbal outburst, he dropped the mic and was out.
On Sunday night, Ticketmaster announced that West's show at the Forum in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, California, was canceled. The ticket vendor gave no explanation for the cancellation. Ticketmaster tweeted, however, that tickets purchased by phone and internet were refunded.
Experts say Sunday morning talk shows are no longer the platform for politics. Nowadays, it's everywhere, especially in entertainment venues that use to be our break from reality.
"The media created this because they saw it got ratings," said Professor Dona, who teaches communications at San Jose State.
Dona fears random political outbursts and opinionated tweets, especially from a future president, is the new norm.
"This is the first time that politics has been looked at as something entertaining, and everyone is watching the show," she said.
This isn't the first time a celebrity has been politically driven. In fact, there's a long list of stars, many from California, have stepped into politics, from Ronald Reagan to Sonny Bono to Arnold Schwarzenegger, to name a few.
Experts say since we're more connected to stars through social media, those celebrities feel more compelled to express political views anywhere.
Kanye concertgoer Patrick Hernandez, who actually managed to snap a quick selfie-style video with West in the middle of a downtown street following the musician's exit, said that fans were yelling at West to "shut up or to sing" during the tirade.
That unrest continued on social media hours after the show came to a sudden close.
"I've been getting a lot of messages on Twitter, replies to my video about people saying why I didn't punch (West) or why I didn't ask him why he left so early," Hernandez said.
Hernandez's guess as to why West called it quits is simply that he wasn't having it with the Northern California crowd.
"I have a feeling he probably left early because he may have felt the negative energy in the arena, meaning that he probably felt that people weren't agreeing with him and maybe he felt like he had no reason to continue the show," Hernandez said.


text: In Contact Sports, people get hurt. It's a fact of life. And those taking part accept it just as readily as those watching it. This is as true for Rugby League as it is for Jiu-Jitsiu. That's part of the thrill. It's what gets the blood pumping through the veins.

As soon as again, it is that point of the week to compensate for the latest happenings on the planet of worldwide commerce. World warming is the noticed and projected will increase in the average temperature of Earth's environment and oceans. Israel is adamant in letting the Palestine Authorities undergo; calling on worldwide powers to boycott the Palestinian Government and ignoring calls from the United States to launch funds. Globalization has not only created alternatives for business across countries but also crime.
Bear in mind, over 90{32922b38b9b449ebfd3096a6d8f8914e37668f0aaffd068c67bc01856a4e5930} of Earth's glacial ice is restricted to some areas, however even what researchers learn about this big share does NOT assist the claim that human CO2 threatens catastrophic local weather change. The United States authorities needs to make these correct predictions to adjust the money move and rates of interest. The full text of all 5.9 million information articles printed within the New York Times from 1 January 1945 to 31 December 2005, totaling 2.9 billion words, provides the entire population of the paper of record of the United States.
As I clearly demonstrate in my Hub, there's also considerable proof that global warming has taken a breather over the previous decade and seems in some knowledge units to have stopped. Nobody is denying that local weather is altering, because that's one thing it does on a regular basis, and in sure durations it could convey some nasty climate with loopy temperatures.
Greenhouse gases are long-lived, so the planet will proceed to warm and adjustments will proceed to occur far into the long run, however the diploma to which global warming adjustments life on Earth will depend on our selections now. I favor to think of it as international local weather change. Immediately upon his arrival in Houston, Texas, on Sunday, March 18, Mawlana Hazar Imam attended a collection of engagements, including conferences with Governor of Texas Greg Abbott and Mayor of Houston Sylvester Turner, adopted by a lunch reception with state officers and tutorial, enterprise, and civil society leaders.

This gorgeous lizard cage or tegu cage is produced entirely of 1/2″ black pvc so it will hold up to any kind of humidity. Feel about anything and every little thing that your reptile will require to reside a complete life and add some much more factors to that currently lengthy list. One more point to feel about is regardless of whether your custom snake cages is going to need to look good or if it can be a little more rustic. These panels are all interchangeable and can be switched or replaced at any time with out having to acquire a new reptile cage! You can construct your snake or reptile enclosure from frequent things identified at most DIY shops. We have learned though our own experience, as properly as by means of our consumers, how difficult it can be to get other reptile enclosures as massive as ours into your residence and put collectively. If you get a utilized reptile cage for sale, make certain to clean it completely with soap and hot water so that your pets don't catch ailments.
And there is a one inch gap at the top for ventilation and there is about an eighth inch gap among all doors. I am currently working on a full guide on how to construct snake cages which will be accessible soon. At our discretion, we could accept animal trades in lieu of payment for up to 50% of the cost of your reptile cage order! Now I've covered this prior to so I will just go into the short hand for it. You have a handful of various choices, from the low cost and effortless to preserve to the lovely and hard to keep. Screened reptile cages are produced of a wooden or metal frame that is covered with plastic mesh or wire mesh panels on the sides an prime. Nowadays, virtually all of my reptiles are housed in plastic cages made by this company.
Given that these enclosures are straightforward to uncover, they can be low cost alternative for reptile owners who require a little or medium sized habitat. There are some reptiles out there that could demand you to construct your own reptile cage (for example: an iguana). Stands conjointly permit you to elevate snake cages to eye level, and supply useful space for all of your herp supplies. All of our aluminum and stainless steel supplies are created in the USA as properly as our reptile cages, with supplies purchased from several suppliers close to our facility in northern Wisconsin. The rear piece is subsequent, and this can go in between the 2 facet items on prime of extremely low cost piece.
A single of the most frustrating elements of acquiring a reptile enclosure is attempting to determine how big to get it. As a outcome, herp owners could end up getting several enclosures all through the life of the animal, every single time throwing 1 to the curb. Clean out your snake cages of wood, and switch it onto a single in every of the edges. Our cages consist of extremely thick aluminum that is hardened and anodized to resist denting and scratching. Hoods and stands (as shown and enclosed in final Packages) end any giant reptile cages, creating your Lizard cages the centerpiece of the space! Here's a connected report I wrote about Vision Cages and why I like them so a lot. Otherwise, with a tiny work you could save yourself a lot of cash and have some enjoyable at the exact same time designing and constructing your own snake cages.
Personally, I rather order on the internet and have it shipped to me, but that is the cheap and effortless way. Depending on your needs, you can get something on the low end of the expense spectrum, or go full out with a beautiful built to order unit, something like Cages By Design and style makes. As within the image, really low-cost can lie flat with the facet on prime of extremely low-cost piece.

Stash Tea Introduces Guayusa Tea
Stash Tea Introduces Guayusa Tea: Energy from Ecuador
(from a press release)
Stash Tea, one of the largest specialty tea companies in the USA, announces the release of six great tasting new teas made with a rare, naturally caffeinated herbal tea known as Guayusa (gwhy-you-sa).
Guayusa is a stimulating herb native to the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador where it has been part of the indigenous culture and cultivated for more than 2000 years. Guayusa is delicious. It has a naturally smooth taste and a rich and earthy aroma and slightly sweet finish.
Guayusa is also naturally caffeinated and has an energizing effect similar to coffee or Yerba Mate, but unlike coffee or Yerba Mate, Guayusa provides a slow release of caffeine for alertness and energy, without the jitters or sudden caffeine crash.
Guayusa also supports small farms in Ecuador and it helps the Amazon Rainforest thrive, as Guayusa is shade-grown.
Stash Tea offers a Pure Guayusa Tea, as well as five signature blends, all organic and 100% natural.
Guayusa Tea with Chocolate -- Natural chocolate combines with refreshing Guayusa for a dessert-like tea that's rich and stimulating.
Guayusa Tea with Chai -- Ecuador meets India in an aromatic blend of smooth Guayusa and spicy Chai.
Guayusa Tea with Yerba Mate & Ginseng -- are paired for an invigorating blend that is sure to awaken the senses.
Guayusa Tea with Lemon -- Lemony herbs and natural lemon oil combine for a slightly tart, refreshing taste.
Guayusa Tea with Mint -- Peppermint and spearmint are paired for a refreshing, rejuvenating taste.

Tea Review 140 - Persimmon Tree Black (x4)
Biodynamic Darjeeling
Classic Black
English Breakfast
The Persimmon Tree
I tend to favor black tea over everything else. So when The Persimmon Tree sent a bunch of samples recently it's no surprise that I immediately gravitated to the four unflavored black varieties that were included. To paraphrase George Orwell, all of them were equal but some were more equal than the others.
Biodynamic Darjeeling
Despite its exalted reputation I find that I'm not normally a fan of Darjeeling. A lot of the ones I've tried seem to have a hint of bitterness and kind of a thin quality to the flavor. Maybe it's because I'm used to more robust black teas. In any event, this one didn't have any of those qualities and I found it to be quite smooth and flavorful. I'd rank it as the best of this bunch.
If memory serves right I've seen the term bright used to describe certain types of Ceylon tea and I was never sure quite what it meant. After sampling this Ceylon I think I understand it now. I've been drinking a lot of Yunnan black tea lately and have gotten used to that heavy, very robust flavor that's common to the breed. I could see how the term bright could apply to this Ceylon, which is quite light and has some very faint notes that almost resemble mint. Rather an offbeat one here.
Classic Black
This is a mix of Nilgiri and Yunnan and while I liked it I personally felt that perhaps it could use a little less of the former and more of the latter. Not bad at all, but kind of middle of the road as far as flavor goes.
English Breakfast
There's no indication of exactly what teas are included in this blend. I'd rank it about the same as the Classic Black.

New Pu-erh Tea Blends From Numi
Numi Organic Tea Introduces New Artisanal Pu-erh Tea Blends
(from a press release)
Numi Organic Tea, the world's first company to offer a complete line of Pu-erh (poo-air) teas for the national US Market, is introducing five new exotic Pu-erh blends to their already remarkable line of organic tea.
This March 2012 the Pu-erh collection, which already includes Emperor's and Chocolate teas, will expand to include five unique, new flavors: Coconut, Cardamom, Basil Mint, Jasmine and Ginger.
Pu-erh is an ancient healing tea picked from 500-year-old organic wild tea trees in Yunnan, China. Unlike traditional teas, Pu-erh undergoes a unique 60-day fermentation process resulting in a bold flavor with hints of malt and an abundance of healthy antioxidants. Pu-erh can be compressed into bricks and aged, like fine wine, for months, years or even decades. This increases its value, health benefits and premium taste. In addition, studies in China and France show that Pu-erh can also reduce cholesterol, improve digestion and metabolism, and can aid and support healthy weight loss. As more and more consumers discover Pu-erh teas and their excellent health benefits, the word is spreading.
The new blends include:
Coconut Pu-erh: Real coconut pieces and a hint of vanilla bean make for a delicious, rich and smooth treat
Cardamom Pu-erh: Sultry cardamom blends perfectly with Pu-erh to create an intriguing and exotic tea
Basil Mint Pu-erh: Herbaceous and distinct, this infusion makes for a smooth yet vibrant blend
Jasmine Pu-erh: A beautiful and balanced floral touch to deep earthy flavors
Ginger Pu-erh: Zesty notes of real ginger and rich Pu-erh make for a bold cup of tea

Cookbook Club: Curry Easy Vegetarian
Categories: News and previews
Angela Clutton reflects on the latest gathering of the Cookbook Club, which this month focused on Curry Easy Vegetarian by Madhur Jaffrey
"The simple acts of cutting, chopping and stirring are graces that can bring you peace and calm."
Those are the words with which Madhur Jaffrey closes the introduction to her book, Curry Easy Vegetarian, and I think many of us who love to cook will understand what she is saying. From talking with Borough Market Cookbook Club members over the now 20-odd events we've done since the club started, I know it is a sentiment many members share. Cooking can bring peace and calm, yes—it can bring pleasure, but first and foremost it must be sustaining and maybe the judgement of any cookbook is how well it delivers on all those fronts.
If that is so, then Curry Easy Vegetarian is a triumph. It was our first book of Indian cookery for the Club and inevitably, therefore, had to be a book by the cook who has played a more vital role than any other in reinventing Indian cookery for modern British times. To say that her 1980s cookbooks and BBC series on Indian cookery had a huge impact on how we as a nation cook and eat Indian food may not sound all that modern, but they are when you realise she set the scene for the likes of Meera Sodha, Anjum Anand and many others, to come through.
Curry Easy Vegetarian is one of Madhur's most recent books and feels as fresh as newly-ground spices. It covers so much more than curries—from soups and dals, to rice and breads, chutneys and salads, drinks and desserts. The recipes come with an introduction to the context of their region or the family that inspired the dish, written in Madhur's typically lyrical style.
Stand-out dishes
At the end of the Cookbook Club event I asked the members there what I should report back as being the stand-out dishes. The answer of "everything" wasn't just diplomacy, it was totally meant (with one small exception of a vegetable dish whose cook was a little sad about how that had gone, but still the answer from the others was "everything", so maybe it wasn't too disappointing after all).
Special mention goes to Nepalese 'pickled' potatoes which are not pickled in the conventional sense, but a salad of waxy potatoes dressed with tahini and spices. Also paneer in butter tomato sauce, and chana dal with spinach and tomato that enacted a dal-conversion for its cook and was a smash hit for all.
I made chapatis, among other things. It was my first time doing those and I did them in front of the group, willing to bear any disasters for the sake of camaraderie and transparency. Rather marvellously it turned out that while I was a chapatti newbie, quite a few of the members in the room had chapati experience. My chapatis were made to the across-the-stove support and encouragement of the members, and summed up just why the Borough Market Cookbook Club is so very special.

Ibanez Grooveline BBT
Grooveline, Ibanez's top-quality ergonomic bass series, has added another model for 2013, the G104BBT (5-string G105BBT). "This model's brown burst finish gives players an alternative to our other natural finish Grooveline offerings," states Ibanez USA Bass Manager Mao Nakamura.
Grooveline basses, with their numerous high-end appointments, have garnered a warm reception by reviewers, many of them lauding it for its ergonomic accomplishment—namely solving the "neck-dive" problem that has plagued standard basses for decades. "The design team's first objective," explains Nakamura, "was for bass and player to share a center of balance. So whether you're playing standing up or sitting down, the first thing you'll notice is something that as a bassist you may have never experienced —the Grooveline does not require the support of your hands. Meaning you can use them for other things—like playing bass!"
Find more information on the G104 and G105 at Ibanez.com.

If your website has been hit by any of the Google Panda Updates, Matt Cutts of Google has one good piece of advice that may help recover your site from the Panda effect.
Matt says that if a site has been affected by the Panda update, it indicates that Google algorithms are thinking that your site isn't providing as high-quality content as other sites. The fix isn't that hard either.
Improve the quality of content or if there is some part of your site that has got especially low-quality content, or stuff that really not all that useful, then it might make sense to not have that content on your site.
In other words, few bad apples (or low-quality pages) can possibly spoil the whole bunch so it may be a good idea to either improve them or get rid of them completely.
The Webmaster team shot this video with Matt in August but for some reason they made it public just yesterday. Take this one very seriously.

My *sis is graduating today. I cannot believe it.
When I met my husband she was in grade four and still wore pigtails. Where has the time gone?
I was reminiscing this morning that I bought her first miniskirt, and she refused to wear it because it was too short. In fact she made her mom return it to the store for a bigger size so that it would sit lower and thus be longer. Now, well perhaps I am just an old fuddy duddy, but she wears skirts that I would classify as a belt.
In the wink of an eye she is all grown up and wearing her graduation gown in a couple of hours.
Sis I am so incredibly proud of you!
Much love
