8:40am - 9:30am Sean Lackaye
9:30am Adjourn
Structured Networking
Structured networking is a technique used at most major executive transition groups. It is meant to be a powerful method of generating ideas that might help each of our searches. During this process, we will quickly brainstorm potential job lead ideas, gain networking contacts at desired companies, and generate advice from the members by sharing our backgrounds as well as our career objectives. It is designed to generate ideas, but given the time constraints, not get into immediate detailed discussions. You should plan on following up with anybody who may have had an interesting idea or a good contact.
Please bring business cards, handbills (career overview) or resumes (plain paper is fine) to pass around if you have them. Figure on about 20 copies of the resumes/handbills and 50 business cards.
We will run our networking, dividing the room into small tables of a maximum of 8 people and doing 2 table rotations before our speaker begins. At each rotation, you will have 90 seconds for your pitch and about 90 seconds for Q&A. Spend no more than 1/3 summarizing your past (this is not the time to rehash your resume), then spend about 1/3 on what you are looking for and 1/3 on what we can do to help (such as target contacts) or ask for advice on an issue.

Capitalizing on the promise of IoT, how to start your connected journey
IoT holds the promise to transform businesses and provide significant growth opportunities. However, understanding how underlying technologies correlate to tangible use cases leads to a lack of clarity on where and how to start on a connected journey, and prevents organizations from taking critical initial steps.
The path to obtaining business value from IoT starts with clearly defining the set of problems a company is solving for. Next, companies need to connect and monitor real-time data from products in the field, creating an understanding of product usage. An effective IoT analytics strategy and capability makes it possible to gain insight into business challenges and opportunities, known and unknown. In this webcast, PTC will provide recommendations for how to get started the right way with IoT and Analytics.
Learning objectives:
- IoT and Analytics can help transform your business
- To start your connected journey
- To build a solid foundation for your future IoT & analytics strategy.

Chris MacDonald, Global Lead, Analytics Center of Excellence, PTC

It is well known that crown ethers have good coordinating ability to metal ions. Armed crown ethers intoduce guest-ligating sidearms to the crown rings to form dynamic and three dimentional complexes which are attracting increased interest as intelligent molecules.1)
These compounds, 1-6, have nitrogen atoms at their crown rings, and via the introduction of sidearms by reaction with electrophiles, can be transformed in to armed crown ethers exhibiting new functionality. For example, 7 having an amine-functionalized sidearm shows high lithium ion selectivity,2) while it is formally size-fitted to the 12-crown 4-ether cavity which exhibits sodium ion selectivity.
Furthermore, armed crown ether 8, a metal-ligating sidearm which contains a chromophore, is used for the liquid-liquid extraction of alkali metal ions, and can monitor these ions by colorimetry.3)

In addition to appliances, cabinets are an integral part of a modern kitchen.

Kitchen cabinets have been around for centuries.

However, it wasn't until the early 1900s when they became popular in residential homes. This was due to the Hoosier cabinet, which was released in 1910. By 1920, the company had sold more than 2 million units, spawning a new era in kitchen design. This prompted to other companies to follow suit by manufacturing and selling their own kitchen cabinets. Before long, the majority of homes in the United States had kitchen cabinets. Whether they are made of wood or synthetic materials, kitchen cabinets have become an invaluable component of a modern home.

Welcome to Communicative Sciences and Deaf Studies!
A message regarding the Deaf Education Master's Program:
The Department of Communicative Sciences and Deaf Studies, in consultation with the dean of the College of Health and Human Services, has decided to temporarily pause admissions to the Deaf Education graduate program and credential program for the 2019-20 academic year.
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) has revised the standards for all teaching credentials in the state including the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education Specialist Credential. CTC has issued new standards for the credentials, which must be implemented by universities.
This one-year pause on admissions will allow the department to revise its Deaf and Hard of Hearing credential and graduate program, retool the pathway for this graduate program, and at the same time, streamline the process. The resulting changes will both strengthen the curriculum and empower students to obtain this vital degree more quickly.
Currently enrolled students will not be affected by this change.
We will resume accepting applications for fall 2020 admissions to the graduate and credential programs. The deadline for applications for fall 2020 admission will be April 1, 2020.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Communicative Sciences and Deaf Studies at California State University, Fresno is to disseminate knowledge and to train professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, deaf education, deaf studies, and interpreting who will provide quality service to the public. The Department will accomplish this mission by providing a stimulating leaning environment for enhancing personal and educational development, promoting understanding of people of various cultures, and offering opportunities for research and scholarship in communicative sciences and deaf studies.
Equal Opportunity Statement
California State University, Fresno is one of the California State Universities and is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution, which does not discriminate because of sex, race, age, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status or disability. The California State University is committed to providing equal opportunities to men and women CSU students in all campus programs, including intercollegiate athletics.

Makenzie and Brandon's Turkey Run After Wedding Session by Los Angeles Wedding Photographer Brandi Potter
Makenzie and Brandon are honestly one of my favorite couples I've shot. I had a couple of concerns when she showed up to their hiking engagement session in fancy dresses and sky high heels, but honestly it was so hilarious and perfect, and one of the best times I've had. Their wedding back in November will probably always be one of my absolute favorites. It was so filled with emotion and vulnerability from both of them. I think I cried a total of 10 times that day, and I felt like I could literally feel the love they have for one another.
We wanted to wait until it was warm again to shoot their After Wedding Session, and instead of going to the Gorge like we originally talked about we decided to stay in Louisville, so we were a bit closer to home. Like every other time I've ever shot them, this is absolutely one of my favorite sessions ever. They trust me completely and don't even question when I ask them to do silly things. This is the type of relationship I strive to have with clients.
This shoot should also be a good display of why you should absolutely do an After Wedding Session. It was freezing at their wedding so it was hard for us to be out for very long. I'm also a bit more wary to ask couples to do things that could get them filthy if we're shooting the day of. It's so much more freeing to be able to shoot and not have to really worry if the dress is going to get filthy. It's also great being able to shoot for a couple of hours and picking the time of day. Light is a huge influencer for me and the way I shoot, so please think about adding this on to your collections.

Symphony in the Gardens: A Night at Casa Loma
August 2, 2016
As an employee of one of Toronto's landmarks, Casa Loma, I can't help but be on top of all of the Castle's events, including the Symphony in the Gardens performances that run every Tuesday this summer (until August 30th).
Toronto is infamous for nights out, day outings and exquisite restaurants, and here is just one way to spend your spare time in the summer months.
Casa Loma: A Day Of Pure Bliss
When I first heard Pandora Topp – an Édith Piaf tribute artist – was coming to perform, I immediately had to book the day off so that I could come to the gorgeous Castle as a guest, and not just as a worker.
I decided to bring my eight-year-old cousin to accompany me for the show and dinner, a gift for her birthday… with her, came my aunt, her other younger daughter and a family friend.
In short, it became quite the family excursion.
I began our visit to Casa Loma by taking them through the grounds I know like the back of my hand: two floors of ornately furnished rooms, a third floor military exhibit (of the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada Regimental Museum), the narrow towers with stunning views, our damp and dim underground tunnel leading out to stables still pungent with the scents of hay and old wood, and ending in our flourishingly colourful gardens and terrace.
The gardens were where the adventurous escapades ended, as that is where the evening performances would be taking place. The area was filling up quickly by the time we got ourselves seated at around 5:45pm.
With access to Casa Loma's Monday (Soul in the City running until August 29th) and Tuesday concert nights being included in the general admission ticket price, it's no wonder that our events are always packed tight with people.
Wining and Dining In Toronto's Best Spot
As opposed to sitting in the glass pavilion where the performance would be taking place, we opted to sit directly outside of it and watch from the al fresco dining area; here, tables and chairs are set up in a bistro-style seating arrangement where guests can dine and drink while watching the performance taking place just inside the nearby pavilion.
It was difficult to choose a single item for ourselves off of a menu filled with such amazing and diverse choices, so we opted to order many items to share.
Hand cut fries, rosemary and garlic lamb chops, lobster poutine, lemon chicken, prosciutto and formaggio, and a bottle of white wine (for the adults only, of course). As a side note, the lemon chicken was so good, that I ordered it when a friend and I went to dinner at Spice Route the following week, one of the restaurants owned by Liberty Entertainment Group, the organisation of individuals currently in charge of maintaining Casa Loma.
We ate slowly, chatting and enjoying both one another's company as well as the scenic gardens surrounding us. To keep our table throughout the whole night, I ordered several gin and tonics and ended with a delicious sweetened green tea.
When the performance began at 7:30pm, I was enraptured from the beginning, from the opening song L'Accordéoniste until the final notes of her closing song at around 9:30pm. Perhaps my favourite part of the evening was how much my youngest cousin seemed to adore the French music, despite being the one I thought would be the least interested.
I was so elated to see her adoringly watching the singer and her small orchestra, doe-eyed at the lulling sound of the music, and turning to me at the intermission to say, "Oh, Emily… I love this music. It's so beautiful, and I don't even know what they're saying! I can't wait to start learning French in grade one."
Truly, that is the power of music, especially when coming from such a talented and passionate artist: comprehension of the language of the music is not always necessary when the emotion is conveyed through the passion in which it is sung in.

Contents: What is Princess Hair? | For all hair types | Ingredients | Ingredients | How does it work? | How to use? | Price | Reviews | Where to buy?
Beautiful, dense and most importantly healthy hair is an attribute of femininity for so many people. Everyone dreams of having an attractive appearance, men included, and the hairstyle is an integral part of this. Excessive hair loss, brittleness, lack of volume and dandruff are the biggest problems associated with hair. The Princess Hair mask may prove helpful. How does this product work, where can you buy it and how much does it cost?
Man naturally loses about 100-120 hairs a day and new hair grows in its place. However, when the amount of hair falling out increases and we are literally pulling it out by the handful off the brush, we are dealing with a considerable problem.
As a result of many factors, the body often does not keep up with the production of new hair, and our hairstyle becomes thinned out and unappealing. Factors such as environmental pollution, wind or sun rays additionally dry out the hair, which becomes brittle and splits at the ends.
Very often our lifestyle has a huge impact on the health of our hair. An improper diet leads to deficiencies of vitamins and microelements, which weakens the scalp and makes it unable to keep the hair bulbs in their right place.
The solution may be the Princess Hair Hair Growth Mask, which has recently become more popular. What is the secret of the effectiveness of this supplement? What is the composition and what are the opinions of people who have already used Princess Hair?
Princess Hair for beautiful hair – what kind of product is this?
Princess Hair for beautiful hair is a mask that stimulates the scalp, thanks to which the hair stops falling out, it becomes lush and healthy – without split ends. According to the manufacturer's assurances, the mask rebuilds damaged hair after only 4 weeks of use.
Suitable for all hair types
The innovative Princess Hair formula is a breakthrough in the treatment of hair loss and balding. In addition, the use of Princess Hair mask not only prevents hair loss, but also stimulates their growth and regenerates the resulting damage in the hair structure.
The Princess Hair for hair growth ingredients
A breakthrough in the fight against weakened and thinning hair is the multi-ingredient formula of Princess Hair. All the mask ingredients are of natural origin, thanks to which they are beneficial for the hair and do not dry out the scalp.
Let us not forget that substances derived from nature are a rich source of nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Very often such compounds have a particularly strong effect, while maintaining the increased safety of use.
As provided by the Princess Hair mask manufacturer, the secret of its effectiveness is a special formula that has been developed thanks to laboratory tests. All the ingredients harmonize with each other and are of the appropriate concentrations, so as to ensure complete regeneration of the full length of the hair.
The Princess Hair mask for beautiful and healthy hair includes the following ingredients:
- Burdock oil – obtained from the burdock root, it is a source of many valuable substances used in medicine and cosmetics. It nourishes the hair, has a beneficial effect on its bulbs and stimulates growth. This addition of ingredient to the Princess Hair mask supports the regeneration of the hair's structure and prevents split ends.
- Argan oil – this oil is often called "liquid gold", because it has numerous properties. It is obtained from the fruits of the iron argania. It possess, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects, among others, which prevent excessive dryness of the scalp and the development of skin microbes, which are often the cause of, for example, dandruff. The Princess Hair mask with argan oil, therefore provides strengthening for the scalp the regeneration of the hair over its entire length, and also makes the hair shiny.
- Coconut oil – contains large amounts of healthy fatty acids that penetrate the skin and have a highly moisturizing effect. Interestingly, coconut oil triglycerides resemble the structure of the hair, thanks to which they can probably penetrate its structure.
- Cinnamon oil – stimulates hair follicles to work, so it accelerates their growth and prevents hair loss. In addition, cinnamon oil smoothes the hair from the roots to the ends, while preventing split ends and brittleness. Thanks to the cinnamon oil in the Princess Hair mask, the hair becomes glossy, strong and dense.
- Chamomile extract – chamomile has anti-allergic and soothing properties. It naturally nourishes the scalp and prevents the formation of dandruff. In addition, chamomile extract prevents hair loss and has a shiny effect.
- Sweet potato extract – the antibacterial effect of calamus is particularly important, thanks to which the Princess Hair mask fights dandruff.
- Vitamin E – strengthens the hair at the root by feeding the bulbs. In addition, it reduces baldness and adds volume to the hair.
- Vitamin A – the content of vitamin A in Princess Hair adds natural shine and elasticity to the hair, further increases its resistance to damage as a result of cosmetic procedures, such as: straightening, curling and drying.
How does the Princess Hair mask work?
The Princess Hair mask provides the comprehensive regeneration of all types of hair – regardless of whether it is short, long, curly, straight, with dandruff or not.
The manufacturer ensures that the regular use of the Princess Hair mask will allow you to achieve effects such as:
- strengthening of the bulbs;
- regeneration of the hair structure;
- quick hair growth;
- stimulation of the scalp's microcirculation;
- well-groomed scalp without signs of irritation and dandruff;
- no split ends;
- healthy and strong hair:
- significantly larger hair volume;
- bright and shiny hair;
- no signs of drying;
- no signs of split ends on the shoulders.
How do I use it?
Intensive action of the Princess Hair mask allows for its use only once every three days. As a result, we don't waste time – we just gain beautiful hair.
Apply the mask to clean and damp hair, spreading it evenly over its entire length. Leave it for 5-7 minutes and then rinse.
The manufacturer assures that we will see the first effects after the first use of the Princess Hair mask – the hair will be nourished and will gain a healthy, natural glow without the effect of being weighed down.
Princess Hair and its price
Considering the wide range of activities of the Princess Hair mask, which includes improvement of the scalp, acceleration of hair growth and comprehensive regeneration of its structure – the price of the Princess Hair mask is adequate to the benefits of its effects.
The manufacturer of the mask also offers a large discount, as much as 50%, on the product. The Princess Hair mask costs PLN 200 on special offer.
Although this price may seem high, it is worth mentioning the wide range of ingredients in the mask. Let's not forget how many of them this product contains. If we bought each ingredient separately, the price would be much higher.
Reviews of Princess Hair
The effectiveness of the Princess Hair mask has been confirmed by numerous clinical tests, and the effects of the product are confirmed by the opinions of those satisfied with the results.
Princess Hair opinions are mainly positive, among them ones that praise rapid action of the mask, clear regeneration, hair loss suppression and natural glow prevail.
Many users are also satisfied with the consistency of the mask itself, which facilitates even application. The ease of use and saving time are not without significance – we do not have to remember about daily conditioners.
Where can I buy Princess Hair?
To make sure that the Princess Hair mask meets all requirements and is completely original, it is definitely worth ordering directly from the manufacturer.
On the manufacturer's website, simply fill out the order form and wait for the shipment – the packages are shipped COD (cash on delivery).
Thanks to ordering from a reliable source with the possibility of payment on delivery, we guarantee that the Princess Hair mask against hair loss is of high quality, contains an original list of ingredients of the right concentration and does not damage our hair in any way.
Beauty is capital that needs to be cultivated and multiplied 🙂 I suggest how to look after yourself using natural, home-made methods. Cosmetics, supplements, creams, facials, treatments and exercises … this is my world which I want to share with you. I like 'sink or swim' comparisons and detailed analyses of the composition of beauty preparations.

- Busy Brits risking millions of pounds by forgetting to renew MOT or tax on time (25%) and leaving cars unlocked (24%)[1]
- Other habits that could be costing motorists include driving in flip flops (25%), hanging fluffy dice from the rear-view mirror (9%) and underestimating their mileage (8%)[2]
- A quarter of drivers (25%) don't realise these oversights can invalidate their car insurance, while one in eight (13%) said they were in too much of a rush[3]
- With average car insurance pay-outs now £2,671, these slips ups could leave a £114 million hole in the nation's bank balances, as 43,000 claims are rejected each year[4]
- A quarter of young drivers underestimate the severity of their actions (25%) while almost half of older drivers (43%) say they simply forgot certain behaviours could impact their insurance policy[5]
- uSwitch.com urges drivers to keep up-to-date with their MOT and tax renewal dates, using a reminder service if required, so they are not penalised should they have to make a claim.
Proving time really is money, drivers could be risking up to £114 million[4], in rejected car insurance claims due to slip ups like forgetting to MOT their car or renew their car tax on time, or putting off car maintenance (21%)[1]. According to new research from uSwitch.com, the price comparison and switching service, two thirds (63%)[6] of drivers make simple errors which can leave them out of pocket, should they need to make a claim.
As well as forgetting their key renewal dates, a quarter of time pressed motorists confess to not locking their cars, while almost 10 million drivers (25%) admit to not taking the time to change out of inappropriate driving shoes before jumping behind the wheel[2].
Other faux pas that could lead Brits to invalidate their car insurance include not updating insurers when changing jobs or addresses (16%), hanging fluffy dice from the rear view mirror (9%) and underestimating the mileage travelled each day (8%)[2]
A quarter (25%) of drivers admitted that they didn't realise these small errors could result in car insurance providers not paying out, with an additional third (37%) of drivers admitting they simply forget that such behaviours might impact on an insurance claim[7].
Around the country one in three (35%) people in Birmingham said they leave their cars unlocked. While motorists from Wales and those living in the South West of England are prone to forgetting to renew their MOT's on time, with a quarter (26%) admitting to doing so[8].
As young drivers head off to university or move away from home in search of a steady job, they are three times (15%) more likely than their parents (5%) to invalidate their insurance by not updating their address. However, old habits die hard and people over 55 (29%) are almost twice as likely as young drivers (17%) to leave their cars unlocked[9].
The latest data from the Association of British Insurers (ABI) shows that over 43,000 car insurance claims are rejected a year[3]. With the average insurance claim now £2,671, on average, motorists could be losing as much as £114.85 million[3] from claims being rejected each year, showing that these small mistakes can be very costly.
Rod Jones, insurance expert at uSwitch.com, says: "We know the British public are increasingly time poor, so it's unsurprising that motorists can be forgetful when it comes to locking up their cars or renewing their car MOT and taxes on time.
"With claims now running into the thousands of pounds, people can't afford to make a careless mistake that could invalidate their cover and leave them out of pocket. It is therefore really important that drivers note down their key renewal dates, and avoid making the easy to forget mistakes to ensure they are covered should they ever need to make a claim."

Posted from Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand.Read More
When we first arrived in Bangkok it was a surprise to be in such a developed city. It has an urban metro system known as the BTS Skytrain, which is the first city metro system we've encountered since Beijing; most cities in Southeast Asia don't even have a public bus system. The Skytrain is also quite impressive because as the name suggests, it's in the sky (almost), at about the same level as the fourth floor in the buildings it goes past. Some people might not like the huge concrete structure which supports it over the road, but I liked it. The city is filled with skyscrapers, many people looked well off and there are a vast number of shopping centres such as, the Siam Center, Siam Paragon and CentralWorld. These shopping centres are filled with the standard western upmarket stores. They also have Porsche, Rolls Royce, BMW and Maserati dealerships. In many places the city would not be out of place anywhere in the Western World. I've read that the healthcare in Bangkok is world class and on par with western standards. My Asia healthy travel book states that in case of a serious medical problem whilst travelling in Southeast Asia then travel to Bangkok if possible for medical treatment. This got me thinking, because we know that the rest of Thailand wasn't as well developed, I wondered just how much larger Bangkok was compared to other cities in Thailand. When searching for the answer I came across the term Primate City, which can be defined as: At least twice as large as the next largest city and more than twice as significant. I found that Bangkok is 40 times the size of the next largest city in Thailand (Chiang Mai). Every major company in Thailand is head quartered in Bangkok. 22% of the Thai population live in the Bangkok metropolitan area and it generates 44% of the GDP of Thailand. Bangkok accounts for 49% of the national service sector. It turns out that Bangkok is "the most primate city on earth". It's interesting to find out which counties do and don't have primate cities. London and Paris are both primate cities. Germany doesn't have one, Berlin is the political centre but Frankfurt is the financial centre and Bonn has many institutions from been the capital of West Germany. New Zealand has Wellington and Auckland so no primate city, neither does Australia as it has Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. The USA has none because political power is in Washington DC, but economic power is New York and San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle also have influence. Here is...Read More
We have reached Bangkok and according to our approximate track we have covered 10,000 miles since leaving the UK. This is good news as I can now celebrate my 30th birthday in Bangkok and also see the new year in here (the dress code in the champagne bars does seem to be an issue though). We have only flown once so far, and that was a 1 hour flight in Vietnam to save a 20 hour train journey. So 10 train journeys and 7 bus journeys, add one more train journey and you can get to Bangkok without flying. It does cost slightly more than flying direct and it takes a bit longer but it really is the ultimate scenic route. Posted from Bangkok, Bangkok,...Read More

Hmmmm. It's 2 am, and I'm up. I wish this meant that I am in labor, but I just don't know. With the exception of yesterday (when I actually slept until almost 10! :-O), I have been awake at about 3 am every morning ~ for at least a couple of hours. I normally have this "sureness" about being in labor, but dealing with dr.s and this being my first VBAC, I'm just unsure about my body this time around. :-/
I've been praying that God would just give me a "knowing", and I was thinking I had it when I woke up, but I was drifting in and out of sleep, so I don't know if I dreamed it, or it is real. So, I decided to get up for a while, to see if I can figure it out.
I am having contractions, but I don't know if they've got that "bite" of labor contractions yet. This baby has been laying on the diagonal at least since Tuesday. He'll go head-down and into my pelvis, and then he backs out and goes diagonal again. It's getting very frustrating. Wednesday, I went to my chiropractor to get my hips adjusted, thinking if they are out, it just may be uncomfortable for him to be settled down. But yesterday, he was pulled back out again. :-/ I did have the u/s tech check on his cord, to make sure that wasn't an issue, and it's not. So, I guess he's just showing us all that he's already got a mind of his own! :-)
If I'm not in labor, I have a perinatologist appt this morning, and I'll try to remember to update when I get home. Other than positioning, he's looking good, scoring high on the bio-physical profile each time, so that is reassuring. If I am laboring, I'm not sure when I'll be able to update. My laptop is back up and running, but my power cord is dead ~ hopefully the one I ordered will be here this afternoon or tomorrow, but that is dependent on the post office.
Tomorrow is "D" day, so it could be anytime. Prayers for his positioning and a good delivery ~ particularly that Jethro will tolerate labor well are appreciated!

Mrs. Dole, I had those same positioning issues with my last (my 9th) he wouldn't even stay in position during labor. My friend who had her 11th had the same issues and eventually opted to have a section. We both had twins so we wondered if the extra stretched outness (is that a word?) contributed to this. Still praying anyway!ReplyDelete

The Crown of Fire is an old ghost object once worn by the Ghost King, Pariah Dark. If used while wearing the Ring of Rage, it gives the user infinite power.
It was used by Pariah Dark during his first reign in the Ghost Zone. When Pariah wore both the Crown and the Ring his power was infinite. He was defeated by a group of ancient ghosts who beat other ghosts and stripped him of his ring and crown and then locked him in the sarcophagus of eternal sleep, but for some reason it appears inside the sarcophagus with him.

It was a beautiful day for a ride as twenty plus riders returned to the site of a previous Tierra Bella at Umpire Ranch in Canelo in the foothills of the Huachuca Mountains. As we drove into the ranch we saw the old red barn on the edge of the parking area that brought back memories of the good times in that Tierra Bella. Leaders Rebecca Pferdeort and Jean Ebbert soon had us on our way on the ride that not only had great vistas of the surrounding mountains and valleys, but was also a poker ride. Most of the first half of the ride was a slow steady climb that rewarded us with great panoramic views in every direction, including the San Rafael Valley to our west where this year's Tierra Bella will return to the Little Outfit Ranch seen below us. There was quite a bit of dead-fall along the creek bed on the way back from this winter's heavy snow fall that the weight of had brought down many limbs from the oak trees in particular. Not far from camp on the return leg of the ride a couple deer were seen along the trail including one that just stood in the trees along the trail and calmly watched us ride by. Once back to the ranch we were treated to a good lunch brought by our leaders of several varieties of sub sandwiches, chips, and cookies. The poker hands were revealed and quite a few prizes were won by several of the day's riders as additional rewards for their day in the saddle. All in all it was a great day under saddle in the Southern Arizona mountains. Thanks for making this ride happen Rebecca and Jean! ~ Ride report by Dan Simmons

Pictures must be in jpeg format and attached (not embedded in the text body) of the email! Ride reports are typically posted in the next newsletter they are received before the deadline. Please help us continue to support this tradition of sharing the fun and scenery we have on our rides by submitting your pictures and write ups to both the newsletter editor Linda Dahl at firstname.lastname@example.com and the Webmaster Dan Simmons at firstname.lastname@example.com . Thank you.)
Sunday, March 3
This is a ride that lives up to its billing as a level 5 ride. It is technically challenging and tests both rider and horse (or mule; :-), and their skills and trust in each other. But like many things that test us, meeting those challenges can have its rewards. In this case, the rewards were spectacular scenery, what turned out to be a beautiful day, the comradery of fellow equine lovers; and of course enjoying the day and meeting the test with our equine partners.
One of the first surprises was, despite the recent cold and wet weather, the day turned out to be quite nice and many of us soon shed our jackets. We also had some concerns the about the warm weather potentially making the several water crossings in creeks a potential issue from the run off of the melting snow on the mountain making them too high to cross. There were a lot of places where water was oozing out of the ground and running down the hill sides, but the creeks were at very manageable levels. All in all, despite the difficulty of the trail, we really had no incidents and everyone got safely down the mountain. We had a nice break for lunch by a concrete water tank just before we left the Arizona Trail that we had been on since leaving Prison Camp, and switching after to the Milagrossa Canyon Trail. Steve, our fearless leader reported the elevation at Prison Camp was 4,845' and the elevation at Carolyn and his house where we ended up was 2,740'; a vertical drop of 2,105'. There were a couple of climbs in there as well. The ride was 12.25 miles long; we were moving for 4 hours and 26 minutes; our moving average speed was 2.8 mph; and we were stopped 1 hour and 13 minutes. We had 11 riders; one was a new member who signed up at the trail head; and two were winter visitors. Our thanks to Becky Tucker who assisted in transporting drivers back to their trailers at the Prison Camp trail head from the Pferdeort's home at the bottom of the mountain, and to Steve and Carolyn for leading this gorgeous ride! ~ Ride report by Dan Simmons
Fabulous ride with 12 riders through varied and lush terrain, with a beautiful towering mountain backdrop and Greenrock, some climbing through mature high fields of blooming ocotillos. Crossed water in a couple of places, some trails were wide and sandy for doublewide riding. Great conversation, great jokes. We ended with a refreshing Egee's strawberry frozen desert. Thanks to Jenny for another very nice casual and relaxing very scenic ride! ~ Ride report and pictures by Bergie Harzheim
14 riders gathered at the site of our 2016 Fish Canyon Tierra Bella for a ride in a familiar but beautiful area. The road in was worse shape than usual from the recent weather after turning off of Gardner Canyon Road, but not too bad. It was a bit blustery and cool with a cloudy overcast, but not enough to deter us from having a nice ride. What was a surprise was the amount of downfall from what was likely the heavy wet snow around the recent holidays. Particularly in Boston Gulch there were many down trees and broken branches across the trail. Fortunately we had some hardy lumberjacks in the persons of Don Finlayson and his steed General, Bill Braskamp, and Dave Cummings, in the lead clearing the trail with muscle and portable saws. Don's horse General was particularly impressive and steady as Don hauled several large branches and even some smaller trees off the trail from the saddle; all in a day's work for General and no big deal! After about a three hour ride Don and Colleen grilled up a nice lunch of hot dogs, chips and cookies as we sat and enjoyed the food and chatting with good horse friends. A good way to spend a weekday on the trail! Thanks Don and Colleen for a nice ride!

My Dog Stinks!
You have to understand our family history of pets.
We are NOT pet people. In the past, if a pet came to live at the Blann home, it was a death sentence. Something always happened to them. We are not cruel or negligent- but things just always happened.
Then several years ago, after the incessant begging of our children, we bought Sasha.
She was our first house dog.
She was the first dog we ever trained.
She is the first pet to make her way into our hearts.
But today, she stinks.
So, no one really wants to love on her.
Or play with her.
Or give her the attention she is used to.
She is so smart that she knows she needs a bath.
Every time I get my keys, she looks at me like, "Am I going to get my hair done today?"
She knows.
So, today, when I leave the house, Sasha will look at me, her tail will way, and then I will say the words that will thrill her little dog life.
"Come on, girl!"
She will dance in circles and bark and probably leak a little.
Then I will take her to the groomers for her beauty appointment.
When she gets back home, the first thing she will do is prance or strut to my room.
Because she knows after her bath, she can sit at the foot of my bed.
She has privileges because she doesn't stink anymore.
We will love on her.
We will play with her.
We will sit by her.
We will lavish all the attention on her that she is used to.
She will be clean.
I am so glad that God is not like us!
He doesn't wait for us to get all clean and smelling better before He lavishes His unconditional love on us!
He takes us just as we are. He accepts us and snuggles up to us- just as we are.
The difference is, just being in His presence gives us the desire to be clean.
His Holiness shows us our filthiness.
Sin He cannot associate with, but He takes us faults and all into His presence.
He washes us clean with precious blood of Jesus.
He daily cleanses us with the Word.
So when you think about God, know that He doesn't expect you to be perfect to draw near to Him. Just run to Him! He will meet you. Then He helps you with all that dirt, filth, and stink.
He is a Good God.
I just had to come back after posting this!
It is so funny! I just read Jennifer's blog. She talks about her sweet Maltese, Biscuit.
Now, she, my friends, is a GOOD dog person.
Shame on me!
Sasha is loved - but she doesn't get the priority attention her big sister does. :(
I would dare say that Biscuit has never stunk! Poor, poor Sasha.
But she will be clean soon!!!!

Great analogy here today Dorinda. My lil Silky Terrier is in need of going to the groomer as well. I am guilty. It is my fault she is a mess. I barely have time to make a hair appointment for myself let alone the dog. But she looks so much better when she is groomed.

You know my baby girl goes to the groomer religiously every 4 weeks...we have a standing appointment for the 1st Wednesday of every month (otherwise, I would forget!)
I love the comparison between the "stinky" dog desire for love, attention and affection and how God loves us no matter what!
Great post! Yes, my precious little one is curled up next to me as I type and if I make a move toward the bed...she is ready to go to bed when it gets dark, plus, she loves to sleep in...just like her momma!
Do I need to come bathe Sasha for you tomorrow????

Yay for Sasha!

DB - I had to laugh reading this because we have never been "in house" pet people either until we got Isaac Hayes (our black pomeranian). He is a part of the family and he too becomes smelly at times. He went to the groomer this week and to the vet for a sore throat - a whopping $115 for our wonderful house pet! Your analogy is perfect that God is not like us - He takes care of us all of the time whether we are smelly or clean - just waiting on us to run to Him! A perfect way to end the week! - Lynn

Hi Dorinda,
Your blog was at the top of the ring when I visited today.
Congratulations on having a dog that likes going to the groomers. My dog only likes hearing the words "Pet's Mart, Go for a ride, treat or penut butter bone".
Here in Richmond, Virginia, there is a do-it-yourself bathhouse. You pay them and they provide the entire, professional grooming facility for you to bath your pet. Wyatt always creates loud, chaotic environment when we visit this place.

Budva – Walking bridge on Budva River Gradjevica again is in function. It was entirely damaged in the bad weather during the winter. "Morsko dobro" as invested about 60.000 euros in the construction of a new bridge, and for the arrangement of the trough of river Gradjevica. The renewal of the old bridge was not possible. The enterprise "Morsko dobro" this year will invest about 2 millions of euros in the zone which it owns.
Most money will be spent on sea welfare in the metropolis of tourism, somewhat les than half a millions of euros. In Ulcinj they have planned to invest 230.000, in Kotor 406.000, and in Tivat 160.000. In Herceg Novi shore they will invest 248.000 euros.
According to the plan of "Morsko dobro" for Budva Riviera, the biggest investment will be the arrangement of the park in Petrovac, for which 170.000 of euros have been separated.
They have predicted the tiling of the space in the park and arrangement of the green areas, as well as placement of public light. For the project of revitalization of the beach Przno 5.000 euros have been separated, and with the plan they have predicted the renewal and increasing of the sand mass on that swimming resort. The works in Rafailovici will be continued for which 15.000 euros have been separated, and the plan is to arrange the park space in front of the rest home "Lahor" – it is stated in the plan of investments of "Morsko dobro".
The construction of the new light on the lower path beside Slovenska plaza will cost 15.000 euros. It is predicted that about 15 new pillars of public light will be placed from the bridge at the stream Gradjevica to the restaurant "Kairos".
Regulation of the flood waters in the area from villa "Manajlovic" to the river Gradjevica and the repair of the walking path in that part will cost 30.000 euros.
In the goal of normal docking in on Becici beach during the tourist season the construction of a montage pier for vessels is predicted, for which 90.000 euros have been singled out.
The arrangement of Savicica stream is also planned, for which 5.000 euros will be spent, and they have also predicted to arrange the existing trough. The light on the new square in Rafailovici will cost 4.000 euros.

Thousands of private communications fallen into hands of tech company
The private communications of thousands of Dutch citizens has fallen into the hands of the Australian technology company Appen. It concerns telephone and chat conversations from 2010 and 2011. According to telecom experts, the only explanation is that this communication was tapped by the British intelligence service GCHQ and was then handed over to Appen with the aim of improving software for converting speech into text.
This use of private communications was discovered by accident by a former employee of the Australian company, who has shared her findings with de Volkskrant. She is Dutch and in 2011, while working for Appen in Great Britain, she had to describe thousands of audio excerpts. In these short excerpts she heard ordinary Dutch people talking over the telephone and chatting with each other. Remarkably often, these were communications by taxi drivers in the area of The Hague. In one of these excerpts, she recognised the voice of her ex-boyfriend leaving a voicemail message for his new partner. It was a message he had left a couple of weeks earlier. The ex-boyfriend called via Vodafone and had never given them permission to share his communications with anyone. The man has confirmed this course of events.

This is how the secret service keeps tabs on you
Secret services are able to circumvent privacy laws when using hacks and wiretaps, as illustrated by two remarkable incidents. Read the story by Huib Modderkolk, listen to his podcasts and find related articles on Volkskrant Kijk Verder.
Processing thousands of audio excerpts
The story of the former employee, who wishes to remain anonymous, is corroborated by emails from Appen that show that she did indeed work for the company, by payments for the projects she described, by documents from Appen, by the current translation and audio projects of the company and the statement by her ex-boyfriend. The former employee was paid for processing many thousands of audio excerpts. Other people were also working on these projects at the same time. Although their exact number is unknown, it is estimated there may have been up to a few dozen of them.
Appen is a technology company that develops software for converting speech into text. In the Netherlands, Ralph Biesbrouck is working on similar software. He says that he has 'never' been able to get his hands on this kind of 'raw data' containing private communications. 'How this company has managed to do so, is a matter of speculation.'
Two senior employees of large telecom companies, who are knowledgeable about tapping obligations but only wish to comment anonymously, state that under no circumstances are conversations and data of their clients given to third parties, with the exception of law enforcement or government intelligence agencies.
Telecom expert René Pluijmers of the Dutch National Forensic Investigation Bureau (NFO) suspects an intelligence agency: 'The British agency GCHQ is tapping dozens of fibre optics cables, also cables coming from the Netherlands, and they have experience with speech recognition since 1981. They have an interest in being able to automatically identify conversations and data. They may have provided wiretaps of conversations to Appen with the aim of improving software that can accomplish this.'
According to intelligence expert Constant Hijzen, the story fits within a broader trend. 'Large secret services are having trouble processing data. It is only logical that they would want to develop software that enables them to use such data quicker. British and American agencies frequently collaborate with private companies.'
'Vodafone does not collaborate'
Vodafone, the provider of the ex-boyfriend who left the voicemail message, says in a response: 'Vodafone Netherlands does not collaborate with the Appen company, nor have we done so in the past.' A spokesperson for Appen says that if the company is collecting data, it does so with approval from 'participants'. 'Everything is done with their consent.' Appen states that it does not collaborate with 'telecom companies', but declines to answer the question whether this also applies to law enforcement agencies. 'We cannot provide details of the work that we do for our customers.'
The company's website claims that Appen is now able to recognise 'sentiments' in data streams in an automated manner.

Tara: a major player in the scientific research on marine ecosystems
Tuesday, September 26 : Tara and its orange masts slipped in the city's harbor where they are about to moor for more than a week. The schooner whose captains used to be Jean-Louis Etienne and Sir Peter Blake arrives from New York after a few days of eventful sailing.

Tara is the flagship of Tara Expéditions, funded by Etienne Bourgois at the instigation of agnès b., a renowned French fashion designer. The foundation aims to promote marine ecosystem protection against climate change. To this end, Romain Troublé, who is at the helm of the foundation since 2004, set three different targets:
- A scientific objective: enhancing our knowlege about oceans and marine ecosystems ;
- An education objective: communicating about oceans and climate change impacts, especially to the youth;
- An advocacy objective: raising awareness among policy-makers about marine environmental protection.
Eric Karsenti's conference at the International School of Boston.
On the 27th of September, Eric Karsenti, a French cell biology researcher, gave a conference at the International School of Boston to 11th and 12th grade students. Eric Karsenti is the scientific director of the Tara Oceans expedition as well as a very experienced sailor. He was also awarded the CNRS Gold Medal in 2015, the highest scientific distinction in France.
For this lecture, Eric Karsenti was not coming alone: two TV journalists from France 2 - who will broadcast a report about the scientist and Tara in the next few months - and Céline Belanger, onboard reporter, were accompanying him. Through amazing pictures, Eric Karsenti introduced students to the unknown yet beautiful world of plankton.

Plankton can be divided in two categories : zooplankton and phytoplankton.
The former consists of tiny marine animals such as copepods as well as huge ones like jellyfish or siphonophores. Their common feature? They all feed on bacteria, protists or other multicellular organisms.
The later, phytoplankton, is very diverse. It can be bacteria or protists. Most of them are unicellular organisms that are photosynthetic. They alone produce half of the oxygen on the planet and absorb half of the CO2. They are the submarine lung of the Earth ! Along with cyanobacteria, they are the base of the food chain. Consequently, they are major regulators of climate change.

In addition to plankton, oceans are filled with bacteria and viruses that scientists onboard Tara also collect.
On the 27th of September, Eric Karsenti and Chris Bowler - CNRS Research Director at the Institute of Biology of the Ecole Normale Supérieure and scientific coordinator of Tara - welcomed Yves Frenot, Counselor for Science and Technology at the Embassy of France in the United States in Washington, DC. The objective of the meeting was to present Tara, the research conducted on board and the lobbying activities that the foundation carries out to international insitutions like the United Nations.
It was also a great opportunity to discover the boat and her unique architecture (she has a rounded hull) but also the different measurement instruments and her two labs - the dry one (inside) and the wet one (on the deck).
Tara has developed different data collection and observation methods:
- Scientists can use nets, whose mesh have different sizes depending on the types of organisms that they look for. The "manta net" is used to collect plastics on the surface of the water. Most of these nets are very fragile. Sailors must pay attention to the boat speed when these nets are towed in the back of the boat.
- The schooner is also equipped with a peristaltic pump. It can pump seawater filled with billions of different organisms in water depths between 10 and 120 meters.
- A "rosette " - an assembly of a Conductivity-Temperature-Depth measuring device and 10 sampling bottles - is located at the bow of the boat. It weighs 250kg and is made of aluminum. It is a key scientific instrument on Tara. It can collect water at different depths and has several sensors to measure pressure, temperature, conductivity, nitrogen and oxygen levels and fluorescence while diving to the seabed. In addition, an imaging sensor, the Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP), enables scientists to directly visualize underwater particles and organisms and even to identify them.
The data collection protocols are standardized. This is a sine qua non condition to be able to compare and analyze the data between different places. All the samples must be stocked in freezers that are located at the bow. It requires a lot of space - especially for coral samples - and electric power. Every six or eight weeks, during stopovers, these samples are sent to partner laboratories when possible. The expedition also has to manage and treat waste produced by scientific activities, some of which are highly toxic. This requires an advanced technology that is not always available during some stopovers. In these cases, the crew has to keep waste on board.

As part of Tara's arrival in Boston, a scientific workshop was hosted on the 2nd of October by the renowned Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Studies at Harvard University.
This workshop was entitled « The New Age of Ocean Discovery: Opportunities from Tara Oceans » and organized by Chris Bowler, RI '17, and Colleen Cavanaugh, Edward C. Jeffrey Professor of Biology at the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The objective for the participating scientists was to present and discuss research based on the data collected during Tara Oceans. Indeed, one of the scientific successes of this expedition was the data collected on an unprecedented scale on oceans, which has enabled researchers to develop extensive databases of samples and images.
Besides Chris Bowler and Eric Karsenti, two other French scientists also attended this workshop: Olivier Jaillon, researcher at the François Jacob Institute of Biology - Génoscope (Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives, CEA), and Hélène Morlon, CNRS Research Director at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Irène Joliot-Curie Award winner and CNRS bronze medalist. These two scientists are interested in the geographical structure of organisms collected by Tara, although from different perspectives. Hélène Morlon develops a comprehensive understanding of the geographical distribution of numerous species, focusing on different factors - currents and environment for example - influencing this distribution. She also attempts to trace the history of species diversification through a phylogenetic analysis. Thus, she echoed Olivier Jaillon's presentation about genomic biogeography. The genome sequencing of samples collected during the expedition was made by Génoscope which demonstrated the richness of marine biodiversity that was until then totally underestimated. This shows how crucial the research conducted onboard Tara is, as reflected by all the academic articles published in renowned reviews such as Nature and Science.
The objectives of the discussions that followed the presentations were to share knowledge about the different collected data sets and to exchange about available data analysis technologies. This workshop was the occasion to underline the broad scope of knowledge that scientists still need to acquire about marine environments, especially on ocean biodiversity. Tara's role in this scientific conquest is decisive.

After this workshop, Eric Karsenti gave a lecture entitled 'Tara Oceans : Cells, Embryos and the Origins of Complexity in Life'. This conference was open to the public and introduced by Alyssa Goodman, Co-Director for Science at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies. She described the significant number of genes that are still unidentified as an "invisible multitude" and a "dark matter of the oceans" which caused a sensation.

Eric Karsenti took the opportunity to share some thoughts about his research path. All along his professional career, he successfully contributed to the understanding of molecular mechanisms that control the cell cycle, that is, cell division and embryogenesis mechanisms. He very recently recounted how diversity of living systems skyrocketed in the oceans during almost 3 billion years in his last book Aux Sources de la vie (At the Sources of Life). Eric Karsenti also presented the research conducted on board and the knowledge acquired during the Tara Oceans expeditions that he directed from 2009 to 2013.
Drawing inspiration from Kant as well as in Darwin's travel stories, Eric Karsenti and his crew remind us of naturalist 19th-century expeditions, highlighting how much the scientific discovery is also a human, artistic and philosophical adventure.

Since 2003, Tara has already completed 11 scientific expeditions.
Tara Arctic. From September 2006 to February 2008, the schooner stayed in the Arctic ice. The objective was to drift with the ice, nearly a century after the exploit of the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen in 1893 with the Fram, and to conduct observations on ice packs, oceans and atmosphere at the North Pole and in the Arctic. These studies aimed to improve our understanding of the effects of climate change on this very specific environment. With its aluminum round hull that solidies with cold, Tara drifted on almost 1800km, captained by Expedition Leader Grant Redvers.

Tara Oceans. From September 2009 to December 2013, Tara made a round-the-world 50-stopover expedition in order to study impacts of climate change on plankton and coral ecosystems that play an essential role for the planet and human life. This expedition generated an invaluable amount of data that has improved climate change modelling. Indeed, 80% of marine genes that are now in databases – of which 80% are still unknown – were collected aboard Tara. This expedition also raised awareness about how dangerous plastics are for the oceans. When it crossed the Antarctic in January 2011, the schooner collected between 956 and 42,826 plastic pieces/km in this very isolated part of the globe.
Tara Mediterranean. From May to November 2014, Tara set sail on the Mediterranean Sea to better understand the scale and the impacts of plastic pollution on this very fragile yet extremely busy environment. During this expedition, Tara also promoted awareness of environmental challenges along the Mediterranean coasts where 450 million people live in order to encourage them to better protect these fragile marine ecosystems.
Tara Pacific. From May 2016 to October 2018, the schooner sailed in the Pacific Ocean to explore resistance, adaptation and resilience capacities of coral reefs to climate and demographic changes. From Wallis-et-Futuna to Clipperton via Japan, scientists collected valuable information for a better understanding of corals. After this last stopover in Boston, the schooner went back to Lorient – her home port – on the 27th of September.

On June 1st 2017, the President of the United States Donald Trump announced the US withdrawal from the Climate Paris Agreement adopted in December 2015. The following day, President Macron launched the « Make Our Planet Great Again » initiative. It was a call to researchers and students, entrepreneurs, associations and NGOs, students and all civil society to mobilize and join France to lead the fight against global warming.
To that end, a specific online platform was created: makeourplanetgreatagain.fr. This was very successful in the US: more than half of the application came from American researchers and students!
An exceptional financial support was put at the disposal of some embassies, like the Embassy of France in the United States, to support the development of this initiative. Thanks to this financial input, joint research projects between French and American teams on climate were reinforced, new collaborations were developed and transatlantic student mobility was strongly encouraged. This fund also enabled the Office for Science and Technology to support the organization of Franco-American events on environment and climate change.
It is within this context that the scientific workshop « The New Age of Ocean Discovery: Opportunities from Tara Oceans » was organized on Tuesday, October 2 at the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Studies.

The Canadian Basic Ultralight is a definition and has very few rules or restrictions. Since almost anything is allowable within this category without government oversight no passengers can be carried in a basic ultalight. The basic ultralight can be flown in day VFR only and the occupants must wear helmets. The two seat aeroplane can be used for dual instruction and 2 licensed pilots can fly together as the student or another pilot are presumed to have enough aeronautical background to make an educated evaluation of the basic airworthiness of the machine.
Basic Ultra-light Aeroplane Definition
A basic ultra-light aeroplane" means an aeroplane having no more than two seats, designed and manufactured to
(a) a maximum take-off weight not exceeding 544 kg (1200 lbs),
(b) a stall speed in the landing configuration (Vso) of 39 knots (45 mph) indicated airspeed, or less, at the maximum take-off weight
If registering a basic ultra-light aeroplane, the following minimum useful load (Mu or Wu) calculation shall be carried out:
Minimum for a single-place aeroplane
Mu = 80 + 0.3P, in kg; where P is the rated engine power in kilowatts
(Wu) = 175 + 0.5P, in lb.; where P is the rated engine power in Brake Horse Power
Minimum for a two-place aeroplane
Mu = 160 + 0.3P, in kg; where P is the rated engine power in kilowatts
(Wu) = 350 + 0.5P, in lb.; where P is the rated engine power in Brake Horse Power
The actual difference between the empty and gross weight of the aeroplane must be equal to or greater than the above calculation.
How to Register a Basic Ultralight
The first step in registering a Basic ultralight is to apply to the appropriate Transport Canada, Civil Aviation office for registration marks to be issued to the aeroplane. Registration marks will be issued in the C-I series.
When you have the registration marks for your aeroplane complete the form entitled Application for registration of ultra-light or advanced ultra-light aeroplane (form 26-0521).
attach the proof of ownership document (e.g. bill of sale, statement of construction from plans or raw materials);
include a photo of the aeroplane ID plate, clearly showing the name of the manufacturer, model and serial number;
include fee payment ($110.00).
forward the form, attachments, useful load calculation and fee to the appropriate Transport Canada, Civil Aviation office.
