Amazing the difference the weather makes. A couple of sunny days and suddenly the world is a lighter place and everyone is happy, friendly and a little bit pink. At one point on Saturday, as I sat and perused the conveyor belt at Yo Sushi!, I realised I had a big loony grin on my face as I was perfectly content and happy. Thinking about it, that might explain why the staff were so quick to get me my bill and usher me from my seat. Note to self: If you are feeling happy with life, and are a little bit blissed out, probably best to keep your hands above the table. Sunday was Dad Day, and so I visited …Continue reading
Tag: BBQ
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, four. Poor little Gordon, sprawling on the floor… OK, not quite, but it was certainly the theme of the weekend. Friday night saw me out with some ex-colleagues. I hesitate to call them that as they are really more friends, or certainly acquaintances, than just a bunch of people I used to work with. This is evidenced by the fact that I didn't really feel like I'd been away, and pretty soon the jokes were flying, alcohol was consumed and the dancing began. And then came the tequila. Ohh and I don't know who made the decision, but having a branch of Subway open until 2am is GENIUS. Finally something, reasonably, healthy to eat …Continue reading
Friday night. Games night at work, with a Wiimbledon tournament running on one wall (using the overhead projector) and a Pro Evolution Soccer tournament running on one of the small LCD tvs.. a third TV had an XBox hooked up for various games, and a second Wii was chopping and changing another set of games. Chaos. And pizza. My thumb still hurts. Saturday and we picked up some friends and headed to Strathaven for a BBQ. The weather held, surprisingly, and we all ate too much. For a change I didn't have that much to drink, with the onset of a migraine lurking. Which wiped me out for most of Sunday. Bloody things. Still, we did make it through to …Continue reading
Once upon a weekend
Washed car. Chopped down small tree. Sun came out. Chopped down some bamboo. Dug over sideborder. Parents visited. BBQ. Went for run. Hot. Legs still tired. Cut grass. Cleared out garage. Went to dump. Watched football. More BBQ. Scottish Blogs stuff. Design skills 'stuck', still. Slept like log. More later.Continue reading
Bank Holiday Weekend
Yesterday was a Bank Holiday. Whilst this is not a huge event in and of itself, it is worth noting as it was probably the first time I've not worked one for about 10 years. After a day pottering at home on Saturday, we headed through to a friends house for a BBQ on Sunday. Not the greatest of days for cooking outdoors but it wasn't TOO cold. A long afternoon turned into a late night, with news of a wedding taking centre stage. I'll also be really REALLY good and not mention fake tan… sorry private joke. We stayed with my parents on Saturday night and arose early to took take my parents to Perth for the day. Most …Continue reading
Value for money
I wonder if Dire Straits would have been as famous if they had called their song that… Value for money, and the chicks are free… and entirely different proposition. Thanks to all for some wonderful suggestions on how to spend &10. Ohh and I see some people have posted similar on their website, have I FINALLY started a meme? Is that all it takes?! Yay. Feel free to pilfer, it's all free anyway (but be nice and link back!). [cue man in shed from The Fast Show] This week I will mostly be posting silly things as there ain't much going on with me at the moment*. Now, this has never really stemmed the flow of my bloggings (although I …Continue reading
Satin and Lace
Whilst I'll resist the temptation for name calling (in case it's a genuine interest and not a perversion) someone is taking some interest in the lingerie aspect of my BBQ recap. First she asks: "You could at least tell us the results of the lingerie survey. Inquiring minds want to know". And then upon being told that the results were polled from only three guys she complains: "That's not very helpful. (Please organize a larger sample size next time)" I have to agree. But when does a discussion amongst inebriated friends become a poll? When it's ajar… er… hang on, that's not right. Anyway, I started to ponder the idea, but there is a catch. Where oh where could I …Continue reading
It makes me happy
Cripes I almost forgot to mention the BBQ on Saturday. What to say, what to say. Well for one the weather did it's best to help, only a light drizzle later in the afternoon, by which time we were too sozzled to care, the food was fab as ever, I had a lovely big tuna steak, and the beer and cocktails flowed. Arrived at our hosts at around 3pm and very quickly the conversation descended to it's usual level, with the colour of lingerie the men preferred and whether their preference influenced the choice of their respective wives being a particular thread that sticks in my mind (alas the ladies weren't QUITE drunk enough to model any for us). Louise …Continue reading
Back to work today, even the weather has come out in sympathy. I know it's only Wednesday and I'm trying NOT to focus on the weekend already, honest, but sometimes you get a sign and wonder why you bother fighting it. On Saturday we're at our first BBQ of the year. This is becoming somewhat of a ritual (same hosts) and usually ends up at silly o'clock in the morning when the margarita mix is finished. So, with that in mind, I give you the contents of a recent email. You may have seen this already. ~ Dear Alcohol, First and foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to …Continue reading
The Sun had it's hat on…
You can tell it's been a good weekend when:1. You now have bottles of Grenadine, Galliano, Midori and Angostura Bitters on your desk, alongside a cocktail making gadget.2. The top of your head is still slightly red from the sun yesterday.3. You get a realistic quote for the installation of a new condensing boiler (and ripping out the old one) – £2.3k before cash discount. The remnants of the house warming party seem to indicate, by their half-full state, that the pary continued long after I left. The bottle of absinthe on an adjoining desk suggests the same. Cocktails, absinthe, tequila shots, large quantities of beer. Boy, am I glad I was driving. My Dad did a top notch BBQ …Continue reading

"Patience" has been the latest mantra for gold investors as the yellow metal has struggled to find momentum while the first quarter of 2019 comes to a close.
Gold prices are looking to close in negative territory last week, ending a three-week winning streak. Despite a strong rally at the start of the new year, for the quarter, the yellow metal is eking out a modest gain, up 1.3%. June gold futures last traded at $1,297.70 an ounce.
According to analysts, although the precious metal is supported by falling bond yields, it continues to struggle against resilient strength in equity markets and the U.S. dollar; however, some analysts continue to look past near-term U.S. dollar strength as threats to the economy continue to build.
Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, said that he expects weaker equity markets to signal an end to the dollar's rally.
"We expect last year's strong dollar performance to have marked a last gasp for the bull market, and for the greenback to remain near the bottom of 2019 performers, which is primarily supportive of metals," he wrote in a report Friday.
In a recent interview with Kitco News, Axel Merk, president and chief investment officer of Merk Investments said that a lot of the recent price action in gold can be chalked up to quarter-end positioning. He added that long-term, the recent drop in 10-year bond yields remains gold supportive.
Although gold could remain volatile in the near-term, Merk added that last week's dovish move from the Federal Reserve, raises the risk for higher inflation pressures, another long-term positive factor for gold.
A Big Week For Economic Data
For some analysts, This week, which sees a full calendar of important economic reports, could set the tone for equities, the U.S. dollar and gold prices. Some of the important reports that will garner the most market attention include February's retail sales numbers, March ISM PMI data, to be released Monday and March's nonfarm payrolls report, to be released Friday.
"If we see weak economic data come out next week then I would expect to see gold prices push higher on safe-haven flows," said Ross Strachan, senior commodity economist at Capital Economics. "Anything that will push equities lower will be the biggest factor for gold in the medium term."
Daniel Ghali, commodity strategist at TD Securities, said that he will be watching ISM manufacturing data closely as markets are laser-focused on growth expectations. Weak manufacturing data would add to growing growth fears.
"Poor data that highlights weak economic growth will reignite investors' appetite for gold," he said.
However, not all analysts see weak economic data saving gold prices in the near-term. Some have noted that weak economic data could be seen as deflationary and as a falling tide lowers all boats, gold could suffer with equities and the U.S. dollar.
Do Technicals Support Higher Gold Prices
Other analysts are negative on the yellow metal as the price action has caused some technical chart damage.
Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at SIA Wealth Management, said that a lot of the economic data has been mixed, providing little direction for gold, but he added that it's difficult to be bullish when traders look at the technicals.
"The recent failure to retake $1,325 and subsequent [decline] appears to have carved out the right shoulder of a head-and-shoulders top and arrives at a time when gold is moving from its stronger season of the year into its weaker season of the year, which runs through to the late summer," he said.
Christopher Vecchio, senior currency strategist at DailyFX, said that he also doesn't like gold's technical short-term outlook. He added that the problem the gold market faces is that there is a growing disconnect between market expectations for an economic slowdown and what the data are showing.
"The big first-quarter slowdown that many economists were anticipating may not transpire," he said. "Looking at the data this week, I don't think we should expect to see a strong downturn in the numbers. That in turn will reduce the safe-haven appeal for gold."
Levels To Watch
Vecchio added that technically he sees signs that the near-term uptrend in gold has exhausted itself and the markets needs to recalibrate. In the near-term he said that he is watching an important retracement level at $1,286 an ounce as initial support.
Chris Beauchamp, market analyst at IG, said that a break below $1,285 an ounce, could push gold prices to $1,277 an ounce.

Only yesterday I discovered the 'effect' button on my Samsung phone. So needless to say, I am constantly zooming in on things whilst playing with Vintage, Vignette, Tint, Cartoon… You should know all nine options. Driving Bertus crazy.
Lots of fun! I had to create my own effect for this shot – there are multiple adjustments to create this image. The phone or camera preset software is fun at first but then I usually cannot fine-tune it for the exact image I am seeking.
I have a Samsung 5 phone and am very pleased with it – especially closeup nature shots … but never use the zoom feature – very poor quality results. And poor Bertus! My wife feels similarly when I bring my camera along on an outing. So I purposely have photo/camera-free dates with her.

This will be a rough entry because I'm posting from my tablet and I can't edit or format worth beans on this thing.
I also can't take pictures worth beans as witnessed above. It's sideways. But otherwise it's decent for a photo taken in a hospital room in light slanting through the blinds.
That's the right front of the Wildflower Cardigan with its pretty little pocket detail. The rest is straight stockinette, making this the perfect project for hospital knitting. I expect to advance another three or four inches today, unless I get bored and decide to read instead.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting at my husband's bedside listening to the IV beep and waiting for the nurse to come in and fix it. I called her 15 minutes ago. Just because I think he's the most important patient on this floor doesn't make it so.
I'm knitting from my library in 2016. So are a bunch of other folks. You can check out their posts by clicking the badge at the right.

Q. What is endodontics?
A. Endodontics is the area of dentistry that specifically deals with what is called the pulp within a tooth.
Q. What is dental pulp?
A. The dental pulp is a soft tissue comprised of tiny arteries, veins, nerves and lymph vessels for the tooth.
Q. Where does the term root canal come from?
A. The tooth is comprised of three basic components. The first component is the crown/enamel, which is seen by the naked eye.
The next level of the tooth is dentin, which is under the enamel and the "housing" for the dental pulp. The final component is the dental pulp and is the core of the tooth. This bulk of the dental pulp is in the center of the tooth or the pulp chamber, and is connected to the Mandibular Canal through the root canals. The root canals are like veins for the dental pulp.
Q. What does the procedure root canal mean?
A. Root canal has become a term for a procedure involving the dental pulp. When the dental pulp has been exposed and damaged, it must be treated professionally and this process is usually referred to as getting a root canal.
Q. What does a root canal procedure entail?
A. Once the dental pulp has been infected, it must be removed from both the pulp chamber and the root canals. Once it has been removed, the pulp chamber and root canals are thoroughly cleaned and enlarged. Based on the level of infection, the dentists may choose to clean the area more than once. After the area is free of infection, the dentist will fill the root canals and pulp chamber with a filling that will prevent any bacteria from entering the area. Finally, the dentist will place a crown over the tooth to restore it to its original shape.
Q. What causes dental pulp to become damaged or infected?
A. Normally, when a deep cavity occurs, it exposes the dental pulp to the bacteria inside the mouth. When exposed to this bacteria, the dental pulp can become infected and thus cause the inside of the tooth to be infected.
Q. What can happen if infected dental pulp is not treated?
A. Overtime, the infected pulp will die. At the same time, pus from the infection will develop at the base of the tooth and cause an abscess to form. If this occurs, it is not uncommon for the abscess to cause the bone holding the tooth to deteriorate. If this deterioration becomes too severe, the tooth will fall out.
Q. What role does the computer play in the dental care industry?
A. In the future, patient records may be kept on computer disks, including visual images captured on intraoral cameras. A computerized workstation beside the patient's chair will give the dentist the ability to view the patient's history from disk.
Also, the dentist might use a voice-recognition system to ask the computer to assist in finding that data, or create a "before and after" image so the patient can preview the result of dental work before it is done.
"Dip" ... "Chew" ... "Pinch" ... "Snuff" ... "Dirt" ... "Plug" ... all are different names for smokeless tobacco, a finely ground version of processed tobacco. No matter the name, smokeless tobacco is harmful and puts your health at risk. Chew on these facts (Don't believe it? Talk to dentists):
Smokeless tobacco has been glorified over time by images of "macho" men performing feats of fame and prowess, whether as athletes, rodeo cowboys, or country music stars. In reality, many want to kick the habit, but nicotine is addictive. It's hard for them to quit.
In a survey of major league baseball players, more than a third reported they had mouth sores, white patches, or gum problems. Nearly 60% said they wanted to quit. The nicotine actually decreases performance, causing dizziness and slowed reaction time.
Smokeless tobacco causes problems for your oral health:
Additionally, smokeless tobacco can affect your general health causing:
If you use smokeless tobacco, chew all these facts over. Choose to quit. Your health is serious business. Talk to dentists about getting help to quit. Make the right choice -- it's for your body, your health, and maybe even your life.

One of Albert Einstein's famous quotes is the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
But you don't have to be an Einstein to figure out that Baldwin County Commissioners, in an effort to avoid the insanity definition, want to stay away from falling into past road management practices when it comes to maintaining the newly opened Baldwin Beach Express.
"We don't want to turn it into a Highway 59," Commissioner Chris Elliott said, referring to the most popular north-south, four-lane highway that takes motorist to beaches in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, but which is often congested because of a proliferation of development and stop lights.
"We don't want to create an Airport Boulevard," added Foley Mayor John Koniar said, referring to Mobile's highly traveled road that is also besieged by similar congestion issues as Ala. 59.
Legislation preserves hurricane route
To prevent problems from occurring, Baldwin County officials are asking state lawmakers to support a proposal that exempts hurricane routes from having to switch away from the county's jurisdiction whenever a municipality approves an annexation.
The County Commission requested state action during meeting with state lawmakers Thursday in Robertsdale.
Sonny Brasfield, executive director with the Association of County Commissions of Alabama, said current state law mandates that whenever a municipality annexes both sides of a county road, the road becomes a municipality's responsibility.
Brasfield said the aim of the legislative proposal, which could be introduced shortly after the Alabama legislature convenes March 3, is to maintain uniformity of a hurricane route's management in order to "move people out of harm's way during a disaster."
Avoiding an Ala. 59 and Airport Boulevard
Baldwin County officials, however, want to avoid making it a cluttered commercial corridor where traffic lights, curb cuts and other features -- if added -- could turn the Beach Express into the second coming of Ala. 59 or Airport Boulevard.
"The concern we have with the Beach Express is that it remains as an express to get people in and out of here and we don't want it to slow down for convenient stores and traffic lights and too much other stuff going on," Commissioner Tucker Dorsey said.
Dorsey and others have said that part of the problem with Ala. 59 is that multiple government jurisdictions, over the years, annexed portions of the road into their communities, added traffic lights and commercial developments.
As such, the most popular beach-bound route is congested during summer months when vacationers travel to Baldwin County.
Expanding the Beach Express
The Baldwin Beach Express, a 12.4-mile new road that opened last year, is expected to relieve congestion and give motorists a quicker option to get to the beaches.
The $86.7 million road begins at Interstate 10 and traverses south to its connection with the Foley Beach Express.
Plans are in the works to extend the Baldwin Beach Express from I-10 north to I-65.
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has said that Restore Act money could be used to finance additional extensions. The Alabama Gulf Coast Recovery Council could consider a $130 million request for the northern expansion of the road and the project is expected to be included with others seeking funding through a future settlement with BP over the 2010 oil spill that devastated portions of the Alabama Gulf Coast.
Managing access
Meanwhile, the county plans to adhere to its access management plan for the entire road, which limits access points for commercial developments to service roads.
Dorsey said the proposed extension from I-10 to I-65 will be designed "like an interstate" with limited access.
Robertsdale Mayor Charles Murphy said the only certain way to make sure the Beach Express is not encroached upon by local municipalities is to "give it to the state" where the Alabama Department of Transportation would be charged with maintaining it.
Robertsdale, Summerdale and Foley are the three cities located near the new 12.4-mile stretch of Beach Express.
"There needs to be a broad policy over the entire roadway with regards to access points," Murphy said. "I think the people in the county want that too."
Dorsey said he doesn't see the Beach Express, however, becoming a proliferation of shopping malls and fast-food restaurants like Ala. 59, especially if one governmental jurisdiction is in control of it.
He noted that the Foley Beach Express, which has been opened since 2000, has not been highly sought after by developers and believes the Baldwin Beach Express will be similar.
Slowing traffic
But there are already some pressures to slow traffic. The County Commissioner will discuss Tuesday a bid award to Bagby & Russell Electric Co. Inc. of Mobile for $278,183 to install a flashing traffic light at the Baldwin Beach Express' intersection with County Road 32.
The intersection, according to neighbors, has become a high-crash site.
Other areas along the Beach Express have also become traffic crash concerns, especially with motorists who travel at excessive speeds.
A deadly crash late last month near the U.S. 98 intersection prompted commissioners to defend the road in the face of media reports that hinted the road as a dangerous thoroughfare.
Commissioners addressed criticism that the road was viewed as some kind of "death trap" and said that motorists needed to be more responsible for their actions along it.
The Beach Express is 55 mph.

Publisher Description
Reckless, the sequel to Finding Ava: The decision seemed so innocent in the beginning, exciting even. How could I have ever known what was going to happen? How could I have ever know that someone could be so evil, so determined to destroy lives. I chose to ignore the advice of my brother and instead trusted - believed in friendship, believed in a woman I once loved. Now I am paying the consequences and living in hell and I have brought my family right along with me.
It all started when the rat entered our lives, and as should be expected - the snake followed.
This story dives deep into the making of the movie "Reckless", and simultaneously takes you on a ride filled with sex, drama, disastrous sabotage, and battles of woman against woman and man against man. You will have to take a breath before you read this story because you won't be able to take another until after it ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you allow dogs to stay overnight?
Our overnights are reserved for our client's dogs. They stay in private suites and there is a dog guide with them the entire night. To become a client all you need to do is go through our interview process and have your dog stay in daycare at least for a day independent of their overnight stay.
What if I need to drop off my dog earlier than 7 a.m. or pick my dog later than 7 p.m.?
Just let us know the time you need to drop off and pick up and we can accommodate the majority of requests.
Why should I have my dog go to daycare?
The top five reasons besides socialization and exercise are:
The guilt you have when you leave them alone all day, or the fear
Your dog has way too much energy for you after a long day at work
The neighbors are hinting that your dog barks and cries all day long when you are gone.
New baby? New furniture? Moving?
Work being done in your home or neighborhood that is making your dog anxious?
What happens if my dog becomes ill or is injured while at the daycare?
If your dog becomes ill or injured while with us, we will contact you on your emergency information that you gave us so we can discuss what you want to do. If we deem it necessary to immediately take your dog to a veterinarian we will try to use your vet but may have to take them to emergency or a local veterinarian.
What's the difference between OUR doggie daycare and a kennel?
The difference between OUR doggie daycare and a kennel is that your dog is with other dogs all day. But at night, they get their own room. We have an indoor and outdoor facility that is much larger than a dog-run and our day is all about your dog - lots of play time mixed with some nap time and surrounded by love.

Council signs up to Green Infrastructure Pledge
Release date: 23 October 2018
On Friday 26 October Cotswold District Council will sign up to a new Green Infrastructure (GI) Pledge. The Pledge has been drawn up by the Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership and will be launched formally at an event hosted by Gloucestershire University.
Signing the pledge will further commit the Council to protecting and enhancing the natural environment and open spaces of the villages, towns and countryside of the District to benefit everyone by providing improvements such as wildlife habitats, recreational space, sustainable drainage schemes, footpaths, and cycleways. CDC is already delivering GI in a number of ways including: new policies and guidance for planning; support for GI projects in the community; providing guidance for neighbourhood plans; and ensuring that high quality open spaces and GI are incorporated in new developments.
Part of this work is being supported by Government funding secured by Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, in partnership with Cotswold District Council and other local authorities in the area. The funding is aimed at embedding a new benchmark called 'Building with Nature' that will improve the GI aspects of new developments and plans. CDC is currently working on a new GI strategy for the District, which uses this benchmark as its basis. As part of that work we will be consulting a number of parish and town councils to find out what they think are the most important components of GI in their local areas and what could be done to improve them.
Cllr Nicholas Parsons, CDC Cabinet Member for Forward Planning, said,
"The Cotswolds is a beautiful area with a very rich natural heritage. We are committed to protecting and enhancing these natural attributes for the benefit of residents, workers and visitors. Through the GI Pledge we will ensure that the District's green infrastructure is improved in a way that benefits all aspects of the environment."
More about Green Infrastructure
Green Infrastructure is the network of natural and semi-natural features within and between our villages, towns and cities. These features range in scale, from individual street trees, green roofs and private gardens through to parks, rivers and woodlands, transport corridors, and verges. At the larger scale, it encompasses wetlands, forests and agricultural land. Good GI practices can improve water management, air quality, public safety, food and energy security, public health and wellbeing, social cohesion, as well as climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Funding for GI is made available through the innovation strand of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government Planning Delivery Fund.
Cotswold District Council's GI Strategy applies across the whole of the District, but will focus initially on the 17 larger settlements in the District that are the focus for development in the Adopted Local Plan 2011-2031

La Maggiorina is a detached house in Italian style, located in the center of Agliano Terme. It consists of four newly renovated independent bright apartments with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and balcony and/or terrace. The kitchen in each apartment is equipped for "self service/self made" cooking. If you prefer not to be the chef, we can recommend pastries, bars etc. just outside our property. A few steps away you will also find small shops offering necessities and amenities, or bigger shops 3-10 kilometers away. Restaurants in the village and nearby. We have bicycles for rent; off road, racer or electric.
We, Jan and Anja, are a Norwegian couple, who have taken over the property from the most lovely seller. We will do our best to make your stay at La Maggiorina optimal when you are in this wonderful Piedmont region! We immediately fell in love with everything Agliano and the surroundings offer the first time we visited here (April 2018). We quit our jobs, sold our house, caravan and cabin and moved to this beautiful area to rent out apartments and offer our guests tips on places to visit and guidance, if needed. The decision to buy La Maggiorina was very simple – we liked the building and we loved the location among the beautiful hillsides. Also considering that the Monferrato area offers some of the best wines and dishes in the world – what more can a couple from Norway ask for? We are looking forward to hosting you! One apartment in the building is our private apartment, and we will stay in the area most of the time. You can always contact us. A warm welcome to La Maggiorina!

* Cover cropping
Farm surveying is the measurement of land made on farm,such measurement by tables, plans and done for specific purpose.
– it ensure the passage of grains and chaff through diff nozzles
– it cleans the grain by separating them from chaff
Flooding: It consist of opening a water channel in a plot or field so that water can flow freely in all directions and
cover the surface of the land in a continuous sheet.
-Basin irrigation: This method is suitable for orchids and other high value crops where the size of the plot to be
irrigated is very small.
-Furrow method: Water is allowed to flow in furrow opened in crop rows. It is suitable for sloppy lands where the furrows are made along contours.
i). Soil Ph: The relative concentration of the hydrogen irons and or hydroxyl irons may either increase or decrease nutrient availability.
ii). Leaching: This encourages the draining of mineral salts from the topsoil to subsoil thereby depriving plants of such nutrients.
iii). Crop Removal: This may copied frm naijamod,com be in form of clean clearing, deforestation or cutting down of harvested crops which lead to loss of nutrients in the soil.
iv). Burning: This kills soil organisms, destroys the texture and structure of the soil and finally reduces plant nutrients.
v). Erosion: This helps in washing away of soil nutrients from one place to another, and may occur under the influence of heavy rain or wind storm.
-Evaporation: is water loss from the soil or from water spray equipment.
It occurs on hot, sunny and windy days.
-Transpiration : is water loss from leaf tissue. You can reduce it by
allowing plants to wilt in the afternoon sun .
-Percolation: is the downward movement of water through the soil.
percentage of water present in the soil
=Mass of water/Mass of fresh soil ×100/1
Mass of empty evaporating dish
Mass of dish + fresh soil = 0.265g
Mass of fresh soil only = (0.265 – 0.2)G
Mass of dish + dried soil = 0.25g
Mass of dried soil only = (0.25 – 0.2)g = 0.05g
Mass of water driven off= (0.065 -0.05)g = 0.015g

Genetic Engineering
- Already a research team at the University of Alberta has recreated from scratch an extinct relative of smallpox, horsepox, by stitching together fragments of mail-order DNA in just six months for about $100,000 — without a glance from law enforcement officials.
- The team purchased overlapping DNA fragments from a commercial company. Once the researchers glued the full genome together and introduced it into cells infected by another type of poxvirus, the cells began to produce infectious particles. ...
- "To unleash something deadly, that could really happen any day now — today," said Dr. George Church, a researcher at Harvard and a leading synthetic biologist. "The pragmatic people would just engineer drug-resistant anthrax or highly transmissible influenza. Some recipes are online."
- "If they're willing to inject themselves with hormones to make their muscles bigger, you can imagine they'd be willing to test more powerful things," he added. "Anyone who does synthetic biology should be under surveillance, and anyone who does it without a license should be suspect." ...
- "There are really only two things that could wipe 30 million people off of the planet: a nuclear weapon, or a biological one," said Lawrence O. Gostin, an adviser on pandemic influenza preparedness to the World Health Organization.
- "Somehow, the U.S. government fears and prepares for the former, but not remotely for the latter. It baffles me."

Lyons Property Mentoring
Lyons Property Mentoring is first and foremost an education platform. Providing enlightenment around both property investing and personal mindset; with the mission of giving as many people as possible that 'light bulb moment' and show you that a life of abundance IS absolutely possible!
Lyons Property Mentoring was born out of frustration with the second-rate advice and fragmented service Gennavieve encountered when looking for professional help to manage and grow wealth. Many advisers are uneducated and clearly product-focused, rather than CLIENT-FOCUSED.
If you, like Gennavieve, know what you want to achieve and are super passionate about the big goals you've set for yourself, but can't seem to find the right people to assist you on your journey, it's time to EDUCATE YOURSELF!
After having 'experts' literally laugh in her face, Gennavieve has gone on to achieve EVERYTHING she was told she couldn't, and now understands that their negative responses were due to the fact that they simply weren't educated enough to know any better… and are no doubt still in their full time jobs…
There is a massive lack of unbiased, well-rounded education available to the everyday Australian, which as a result gives people the impression that investing is difficult or out of reach. There was a need for people to be TAUGHT ABOUT INVESTING, BY AN ACTIVE INVESTOR, that covers not just where and how to buy property, but how to get through life as an investor- how to train your mindset to handle the ups and downs and live a life most people can't get their head around because they are taught to be a slave to the system.
We're proud to say that today, we have created just that with Lyons Property Mentoring's Training Ring! We become partners on your personal journey to ACHIEVING YOUR FINANCIAL AND LIFESTYLE GOALS, with everything you need to know presented in easy to understand, weekly online trainings for you to access at your own convenience; giving you the complete education needed to start living life on YOUR TERMS!
When you subscribe to this exclusive members' area, in addition to the weekly training you get FREE access to The Lyons Den, our investor community hangout, where all of our members get to share their stories, ask questions and support, celebrate and motivate each other.
Because we are client focused, being a member means you also have the privilege of REQUESTING TOPICS to be covered in the weekly trainings! So if there is something you want clarification on, we will do our best to incorporate that into your training! No seminar or DVD is going to give you that level of personalised service!
If you're reading this – Lack of education is no longer an excuse. See you in the Training Ring!
Meet The Founder: Gennavieve Lyons
Despite being quite the traveller and adrenaline junkie, Gennavieve's main passion has always been property and investing. She however, like many of you, was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She did not attend a private school or go on annual summer holidays, but instead lived in a tin shed with her family in rural Queensland, where bookcases cleverly doubled as bedroom walls and her parents were barely home because they each worked two jobs at any given time to keep them afloat.
Unfortunately the apple doesn't fall far from the tree; hard work was part of her nature from a very young age. By 10 years old, Gennavieve was picking lavender from their garden and selling it outside the local shop. After graduating high school, she worked three jobs, sometimes all in the same day, seven days a week, until buying her first house at 18. By 21, Gennavieve had properties in 3 countries, and at just 25, she achieved that magical moment of retiring from the workforce to live off her investments, and the rest is history!
Rewinding to a time before living life on her terms, Gennavieve studied like her life depended on it, and now holds several qualifications, including Certificates in Business, Management, Life Coaching and a Bachelor's degree in Journalism, which she put to good use as a News Reader with several Queensland radio stations before moving to Perth.
Despite loving life in radio, at the end of the day it was still a job she was required to attend, day in day out, and (as you will come to learn) the thought of that has never sat right with her – her job was restricting her time and financial ability to give back to the world.
Upon moving to Perth, she made the conscious decision to step away from Journalism. Instead, spending almost every dollar and waking hour gaining a solid financial education and reigniting her love for property.
Now, as an active Australian & International property investor, Gennavieve spends her time travelling the world, which is predominantly split between Australia and America, where 'flipping properties' is her latest venture, giving her the freedom she was after to help and educate others to live a life on their terms as well.
It is Gennavieve's thirst for learning and watching others achieve that 'light bulb' moment that lead her to this point and the creation of Lyons Property Mentoring. With clients and subscribers coming from all walks of life, with amazing stories, knowledge and experience.
By personally owning real estate in several countries, Gennavieve can safely say that if you live in Australia and getting ahead financially is something that interests you, this country presents you with the best and safest property opportunities on the planet. She has always been very active (or 'fierce' as we call it at LPM) with wealth building strategies and because of that, over the years, she was able to acquire wealth through a diverse property portfolio in her early 20's, while developing a reputation as an educator around all things property and lifestyle creation.
For those who are looking to gain something extra from their lives, Gennavieve is always more than happy to share her journey with you in the hope of bringing some inspiration (or humour, there's been a lot of mistakes!) to your day, but more importantly to help you progress towards your own 'Why'. Don't be shy, we would love to hear from you!

For better or worse, video game controllers have all pretty much become the same. Sure you've had outliers like the Nintendo Wii remote or the touch circle pads on the Steam controller. But no matter what system you have you can get your hands on a standardized controller with four triggers, two clickable analog sticks, four face buttons, a D-pad, a start/select/home button, and maybe some motion controls. Something under the hood that separates these controllers though is how well they get along with PCs. So here's how to connect Xbox One controller to PC.
Why connect specifically an Xbox One controller to PC? Because it's the easiest. It seems like it should be simple to just plug in any controller (PlayStation 4 DualShock, Nintendo Switch Pro Controller) with a USB cable into your computer and have it work. And you can make those controllers work. But navigating all of the different drivers and compatibility issues with specific games can make it a surprising hassle. And that's even with a wired connection. Pairing a controller wirelessly to your PC has even more complications.
But since Xbox One controllers are Microsoft products, and chances are the PC you are using to play video games runs Microsoft's Windows operating system, connecting an Xbox One controller to PC really is as simple as just plugging it in. It's how I've been playing non-mouse and keyboard PC games for years and I can't think of a time the controller wasn't just immediately recognized. For local multiplayer you can connect eight controllers this way. You can also connect a headset for online voice chat and personal listening.
Again, wirelessly connecting an Xbox One controller to PC is a little trickier than a wired connection. But it can be worth it for the convenience. With an Xbox wireless adapter, you can plug in a little dongle into your PC that recognizes Xbox One controllers. Your PC may also just be able to recognize the controller directly without a dongle. In either case, to pair the controllers you need to go to Settings, Devices, and pair the Xbox One controller as a Bluetooth device. Microsoft lists all the details here.
The Xbox One may not be doing as well as the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, but Microsoft's gaming efforts as a whole are still huge especially as games on Xbox One and PC keep blurring together. Now that you know how to connect Xbox One controller to PC, you could use your same controller to crossplay your same copy of Forza Horizon 4 on your computer or your console. For more on Xbox controllers (that you may want to connect to PC) check out the Xbox Elite wireless controller as well as the Xbox Adaptive controller.

A couple in our church got married back in August, and I had the pleasure {with lots of ahhhhhh!!!! moments in which I would psyche myself out, lol} of doing their cake and dessert table {with the help of my dear friends Sarah and T!}
Because I wanted to focus on the dessert table, the cake was more of a traditional look and the customary bride/groom feed each other cake. In that case, only the top of the 3 tiered "cake" was actual cake :D The bottom two were just Styrofoam from Michael's.
One of the many things we had on the dessert table were cake pops! I must say, even though I read the recipes, read all the techniques/trouble-shooting tips, looked at pictures, read reviews...I did not get it perfect the first time...or 10th time :D Until you get into a rhythm, these take work.
Definitely do some a week or two before you need them just to get a feel of how things should go.
Otherwise, these were delicious. My personal favourite would be chocolate cake with chocolate coating :D, but these were pretty good too. The colours were pink and baby blue and we primarily just used those colours as accents to the white and burlap we used for decoration. It turned out very nice!
I was out hopping garage sales when I came across Bakerella's book Cake Pops. That's when I knew I had to include them in the Wedding Dessert Repertoire.
I'm giving you the basic recipe here, but if you go to her website, Angie has a lot more tips, photos, recipes, and inspiration to create your own one-of-a-kind treat. These Minions are SO cute!
{Basic} Cake Pops
Cake Pops by Bakerella
You will need:
18.25 oz box cake mix {chocolate, yellow, white etc.}
9-by-13-inch cake pan
large mixing bowl
16 oz. container ready-made frosting
large metal spoon
wax paper
2 baking sheets
plastic wrap
48 oz {3 pounds} candy coating
deep, microwave-safe plastic bowl
48 paper lollipop sticks
How To:
1. Bake the cake as directed on the box, using a 9 by 13 inch cake pan. Let cool completely.
2. Once the cake is cooled, get organized and set aside plenty of time {a couple hours} to crumble, roll, and dip 4 dozen cake pops.
3. Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. you shouldn't see any large pieces of cake.
4. Add 3/4 of the container of frosting {you don't need the rest} and mix it into the crumbled cake using the back of the metal spoon, until thoroughly combined.
*If you use the entire container of frosting, the cake will be too moist and you will pull your hair out trying to get these to work.*
5. The mixture should be moist enough to roll into 1+1/2 inch balls and still hold a round shape. After rolling the cake balls by hand, place them on wax paper-covered baking sheets.
6. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for several hours in the fridge or in the freezer for about 15 minutes. You want the balls to be firm--don't freeze.
*Oh, by the way...make sure you have room in your fridge prior to making these :)*
7. Place the candy coating in a deep, microwave-safe plastic bowl. Melt the candy coating following package instructions. Don't overheat!
It's dipping time!
8. Take a few cake balls at a time out of the fridge/freezer to work with. If you had'em in the freezer, move them to the fridge at this point so the rest don't freeze.
9. One at a time, dip about 1/2 inch of the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted candy coating, and then insert the stick straight into a cake ball, pushing it no more than halfway through.
10. Holding the lollipop stick with cake ball attached, dip the entire cake ball into the melted candy coating until it is completely covered and remove it in one motion. Sake sure the coating meets at the base of the lollipop stick. This helps secure the cake ball to the stick when the coating sets. The object is to completely cover the cake ball and remove it without submerging it in the coating more than once. A small, deep plastic bowl is helpful during this step.
11. When you remove the cake pop from the candy coating, some excess coating may start to drip. Hold the cake pop in one hand and use the other hand to gently tap the first wrist. Rotate the lollipop stick if necessary to allow the excess coating to fall off evenly, so one side doesn't get heavier than the other.
12. Repeat with the rest of the cake balls
13. Store the cake pops in an airtight container on the counter or in the fridge for several days.
Enjoy and have fun!!
'Member, if you want more details or pictures of the steps, head over to Bakerella's website :).
*PS. I'm doing posts on recipes I've tried {mostly from my cookbooks} and either enjoyed, or hated. I do include websites or links to particular cookbooks, but that is more for clarification and because I totally love them. I've not been asked by anyone for endorsement. Just so we're all clear on that :D

Public Health Management Corp., of Philadelphia, completed its acquisition of Wordsworth Academy Inc., another Philadelphia nonprofit that filed for bankruptcy protection in June after the fall 2016 death of a teenager in a struggle with staffers at a Wordsworth residential program.
The acquisition, effective Jan. 1, was part of Wordsworth's bankruptcy plan. PHMC did not pay for Wordsworth, whose remaining education, behavioral health, and child welfare programs will be incorporated into those PHMC already has.
Wordsworth's bankruptcy plan was approved on Dec. 18, allowing the acquisition to happen.
The bankruptcy was rough on general unsecured creditors, who are owed $3.7 million. They are expected to get only 10 percent of the money owed.
Plaintiffs in abuse cases against Wordsworth in September reached agreements with the human services agency that will allow them to negotiate for insurance settlements parallel to the bankruptcy proceedings.

We are looking for a physician with training in Family Medicine who will practice in a office based Family Medicine clinic and local health facilities. This position requires a scope of practice that will include primary care, and inpatient support. Candidates require recent and relevant experience in the scope of practice to be performed.
City of Wetaskiwin
Wetaskiwin is predicted to be one of Alberta's fastest growing cities- With over 700 businesses, attractive housing prices and no municipal business tax it is easy to see why! Wetaskiwin is ideally situated just east of Alberta's busy Highway 2 corridor, 45 minutes south of Edmonton and 60 minutes north of Red Deer. This location has transformed Wetaskiwin into a regional distribution centre. Wetaskiwin housing prices are typically 2/3 the cost of a similar home in Edmonton.This city has a population of over 12,000 residents and the physicians there support a Medical Service Area of over 45,000 individuals. The city enjoys a prosperous economic base of agriculture, oil and gas, tourism and manufacturing, as well as first-class education and an abundance of recreational and cultural amenities.
The recreation amenities in Wetaskiwin are highlighted by the Manluk Regional Aquatic Centre (opened in 2014), which features both a competition & leisure pool, two waterslides, a "Lazy River" ride, a hot tub, a steam room and one of only three "BoardRider" surfing attractions in western Canada. In addition, there are two hockey arenas, a curling rink, a football field with running track, numerous soccer fields, numerous baseball & softball fields, four tennis courts, two golf courses on the city boundary (plus seven more within a 35 minute drive), the finest disc golf facility in Alberta plus a 17 acre lake, with a 2.5 km hiking trail, inside the city.
Wetaskiwin's cultural amenities include a very active arts & craft club which operates out of a city-owned Craft Centre, two art galleries and a theatre society which produces both plays and music concerts.
Tourism is a big part of Wetaskiwin's economy. The world-class Reynolds-Alberta Museum, situated on 248 acres adjacent to the Wetaskiwin Regional Airport, has over 1,200 unique cars, trucks, farm machines, industrial equipment and aircraft in its collection. Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame, is contained in a separate building on the Reynolds-Alberta Museum site and in addition to an aircraft display, showcases the achievements of the over 200 inducted members. Alberta's only paved NACAR racing oval is located a few kilometers NW of Wetaskiwin and is one of the stops on the cross-Canada NASCAR Canadian Tires Series auto racing series. The Wetaskiwin Rawhide Rodeo is Alberta's second-largest amateur rodeo. The Alberta Central Railway Museum, located SE of Wetaskiwin, features an authentic CPR station and a collection of CPR rolling stock.
Local Airport
The Wetaskiwin Regional Airport (owned & operated by the City of Wetaskiwin), is currently the only Transport Canada certified airport in western Canada where an aircraft owner can purchase airside land, construct a hanger and get title to the property. All other airports require a long-term lease of airside land, on which it is much more difficult to finance any construction.
