Genre: Mystery
Four Stars
When the Amish community of Stone Mill, Pennsylvania, refuses to discuss a murder with the police, it's up to Rachel Mast to bridge the cultural gap and stop a killer from striking again. . .While swimming in a local quarry, Rachel and her cousin Mary Aaron discover the body of an Amish girl, fully clothed in her white bonnet, floating face down in the water. The drowned young woman, Beth Glick, had left Stone Mill and her Old Order Amish life a year ago, causing her to be shunned by her family and her people. But if Beth had joined the English world, why was she found dressed in Amish clothing and strangled? Rachel's boyfriend, police detective Evan Park, is getting nowhere with questioning Beth's family. He's also troubled over the fate of three other Amish girls who left Stone Mill in the last two years. As someone who gave up the Plain lifestyle herself then returned to operate a B&B, Rachel is able to use her ties to the community to learn more about the missing girls. But when her search eventually leads to the dark underbelly of the secular world, Rachel finds her own life in dire jeopardy...
Rachel Mast left the Amish sect she grew up in to live in the outside world, and now owns a B & B nearby her family. She still maintains ties with friends and relatives, and one day gathered a group of Amish girls, including her younger sister and cousin Mary Aaron, for an afternoon of swimming and a picnic at the local quarry.
She finds, however, more than an afternoon of fun: a dead body floating in the quarry. But not any body: this is the body of an Amish girl, Beth Glick, who left Stone Mill and her Order over a year ago for the outside world. Reeling from the shock, she calls a friend to escort the girls back to their families and then waits for the police, including her boyfriend Evan, who also is a police officer.
It isn't long before Rachel discovers that other girls have gone missing from the community and resolves to try and locate them. Even though Evan wants her to stay out of the investigation, the Amish won't talk with him and he knows that he needs Rachel's help if he is to find Beth's killer.
This is the second in the series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. There is enough background given so that we know why Rachel left and how she is coping the world of the Englishers, and her relationships with her friends and family.
When Rachel discovers that there is something deeper occurring than just runaways, she knows that she must try and locate the rest of the girls, with or without Evan's help. She does, however, have the help of her cousin Mary Aaron, who will prove to be a valuable asset indeed in the investigation. We are taken from the lush Pennsylvania countryside to a seedy area of New Orleans and back again before we find out the truth.
Ms. Miller has a definite way with words, and having been to Lancaster, Pennsylvania many times myself (having relatives near there), I can tell you that her descriptions are right on the mark as far as the area and peoples of the Amish. We are given a glimpse into the lives of those who generally shun the outside world; and the mystery is well-woven into their world and our own. What emerges is a strong mystery with dark undertones, but well worth reading. Recommended.

In-The-News is a roundup of stories from The Canadian Press designed to kickstart your day. Here is what's on the radar of our editors for the morning of Oct. 22.
What we are watching in Canada ...
Justin Trudeau has emerged from a bruising 40-day election campaign with his image tarnished and his grip on power weakened, needing the support of at least one party to maintain a minority Liberal government in a country bitterly divided.
With results still trickling in early Tuesday, the Liberals had 156 seats — 14 short of the 170 needed for a majority in the 338-seat House of Commons.
Trudeau, whose Liberals entered the campaign with 177 seats, will need the support of either the NDP or the separatist Bloc Quebecois to command the confidence of the House of Commons, the first test of which will come within weeks on a throne speech to open a new session of Parliament.
Speaking to party faithful in Montreal, Trudeau asserted that the results give him "a clear mandate."
"(Canadians) rejected cuts and austerity and they voted in favour of a progressive agenda and strong action on climate change," he said.
Also this ...
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has spent his political life defying expectations but failed to achieve what could have been a career-defining one: toppling a first-term government.
Instead the Conservatives will settle back into Opposition status with nearly two dozen more MPs, emboldened by a number of symbolic victories in Monday's vote and preparing for the day where in a minority government situation they will join other parties and defeat the Liberals.
"Tonight Conservatives have put Justin Trudeau on notice: Mr. Trudeau when your government falls Conservatives will be ready and we will win," he said to loud cheers in a Regina conference centre.
The party swept nearly every seat in Alberta and Saskatchewan, including taking down a longtime and exceptionally popular Liberal, Ralph Goodale.
It was Goodale's defeat that brought the loudest shouts of joy the entire night in Regina, with the crowd bursting into song at word he'd lost.
The Conservatives also defeated former Conservative MP Maxime Bernier, who had started a splinter right-wing party, and they were ahead in the popular vote.
Altogether, they had won or were leaning in 122 seats by early Tuesday morning.
Jubilation over the blue wave in the West also exposed fears among Tory supporters about the division of the country.
ICYMI (In case you missed it) ...
OTTAWA — While the election results were rolling in, Sen. Andre Pratte quit.
The Independent senator from Quebec posted his resignation letter on Twitter saying that there comes a time when one realizes they do not have the skills and motivation required to accomplish the task they've been entrusted with.
He was appointed to the Senate in 2016 by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.
Pratte said it saddens him to betray the trust that Trudeau had in him, but he added it would be even more of a betrayal to continue in a role without meeting the level of excellence expected.
In the letter, Pratte said his resignation has nothing to do with the election and he chose the specific timing to ensure it would not be a distraction from the campaign.
What we are watching in the U.S. ...
The nation's three biggest drug distributors and a major drugmaker agreed to an 11th-hour, $260 million settlement over the terrible toll taken by opioids in two Ohio counties, averting the first federal trial over the crisis.
The trial, involving Cleveland's Cuyahoga County and Akron's Summit County, was seen as a critical test case that could have gauged the strength of the opposing sides' arguments and prodded the industry and its foes toward a nationwide resolution of nearly all lawsuits over opioids, the scourge blamed for 400,000 U.S. deaths in the past two decades.
The agreement was struck in the middle of the night, just hours before a jury that was selected last week was scheduled to hear opening arguments in federal court in Cleveland.
Drug distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson will pay a combined $215 million, said Hunter Shkolnik, a lawyer for Cuyahoga County. Israeli-based drugmaker Teva will contribute $20 million in cash and $25 million worth of generic Suboxone, a drug used to treat opioid addiction.
"People can't lose sight of the fact that the counties got a very good deal for themselves, but we also set an important national benchmark for the others," Shkolnik said.
What we are watching in the rest of the world ...
The crowd hurled potatoes that thudded on the sides of the hulking U.S. armoured vehicles. "What happened to Americans?" one man shouted in English up at the sole U.S. soldier visible on the back of a vehicle. The soldier stared silently straight ahead, away from the show of fury.
It was yet another indignity in a U.S. withdrawal that has been carried out over the past two weeks with more haste and violence than expected — and which may now be partially reversed.
The turmoil was only in part because President Donald Trump's Oct. 13 order to leave was so abrupt. It also seemed there had been little U.S. preparation for how to deal with a subsequent invasion by Turkey, though Ankara had been threatening it for months. And when it did strike, Turkey hit more widely across northeastern Syria than anticipated and was startlingly aggressive, seemingly trying to shove U.S. soldiers out of its way. Turkish artillery fire and Turkish-backed fighters came dangerously close to three American positions, U.S. and Kurdish officials said.
On Monday, a U.S. convoy was passing down an avenue in the Kurdish-dominated city of Qamishli, apparently on the way out of Syria, when it caught the brunt of residents' anger and frustration at the American military that was once their closest ally and was now abandoning them.
"Like rats, America is running away," one man shouted in Arabic at the vehicles, shown in a video put out by the Kurdish news agency.
On this day in 2002 …
Lawrence MacAulay resigned as Canada's solicitor-general after the ethics counsellor concluded he twice breached conflict of interest rules. Prince Edward Island MP Wayne Easter replaced MacAulay.
Your health ...
Episiotomies during childbirth have declined in Canada, but a new report says the surgical cuts could reduce the chance of a mother being severely injured when forceps or a vacuum are involved.
A large study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found episiotomies reduced the risk of injury by as much as 42 per cent for first-time mothers required.
In contrast, a surgical cut posed greater risk of injury when forceps or a vacuum were not involved.
Study author Giulia Muraca, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia, says guidelines that discourage routine episiotomies have been overgeneralized to apply to all vaginal deliveries, when data suggests they could help in assisted births.
An episiotomy is a surgical cut made to the opening of the vagina when the baby's head appears.
It's meant to create more room and minimize severe tears, which could include obstetric anal sphincter injury and cause pain, infection, sexual problems and incontinence.
The games we play ...
HOUSTON — Max Scherzer was taunted over his eyes as a kid. Now he treasures them.
The Washington Nationals Game 1 starter in the World Series has baseball's most unusual orbs: blue on the right, brown on the left, a condition known as Heterochromia iridis.
"I've always celebrated it," he says. "Whether you liked it or not, that's who I am."
Known for his strikeouts, stamina and success, Scherzer has had different eye colours since he was a baby. When he was in grade school, all the people in his drawings had two different eye colours.
"Whatever picture he had, he just figured that was just part of normal," says his father, Brad. "From first grade on, he's always embraced it. He's always thought it was fun. He's always made light of it. It makes Max unique. So that's why he likes it so much, I guess."
Caused by the level and distribution of melanin in the irises, the condition's name comes from the Greek "heteros (different)" and "chrom (colour)." A study of 25,346 people in Vienna released in 1979 found an occurrence in 65, or 0.26%.
Actors with the condition include Dan Aykroyd, Elizabeth Berkley, Kate Bosworth, Mila Kunis, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Jane Seymour.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 22, 2019.

Does your safety training program make your operators and pedestrians safer, more efficient and more productive while still complying with OSHA requirements? If not, you're program could use an update. Take a look at these three ways you can improve your safety training.
Many companies choose to use online training as part of their operator safety program due to its low cost and easy accessibility compared to a full-time trainer or hiring a consultant. However we caution you not to make it your entire safety training program. Without supplementing your online courses with hands-on, practical training, your operators won't have the knowledge or skill to safely and efficiently operate their equipment.
Additionally, online-only or video-only training is not compliant with OSHA requirements which clearly state that operator safety training must be both lecture and practical and has to include site-specific information.
If purchasing online training courses is essential for your safety training program there are many quality courses that can be purchased from reputable sources. We recommend supplementing any online training courses with in-person training that includes site-specific information and hands-on operator safety training.
While reputable online sources for safety training may not be easy to find, questionable courses are a dime a dozen. Be wary of statements like: "100% Online Training!" and "Guaranteed Certificate in 1 Hour!" Using these courses could result in unsafe working conditions which may turn into fines and legal liabilities so make sure to research any online courses thoroughly before relying on it to train your operators.
Your operators have completed their initial training, passed their evaluation and been certified, what else could OSHA require? That's right, more evaluations.
Subsequent evaluations must be completed every three years after the initial training. They might be a pain, but they're crucial to identifying if your employees are operating their forklift in an unsafe manner. Evaluations are also a good time to determine if your employees are operating in the most efficient and productive way possible.
Choose whichever form of evaluation suites your company best:
- Discussion with the employee
- Written documentation of previous training
- Performance testing
- Observation of the employee
If your evaluation reveals that your employee is operating the forklift in an unsafe manner, they'll need to complete refresher training.
Other reasons refresher training might be necessary include:
- if the employee was involved in an accident or a near-miss incident
- if the employee was assigned to operate a different kind of forklift
- if conditions in the workplace have changed which affect the safe operation of their forklift
Skipping post-certification evaluations and refresher training can result in unsafe working conditions, accidents and liabilities so take care to diligently evaluate your employees for safe operation.
OSHA doesn't specifically require your company to provide pedestrian safety training, however preserving a workplace free of recognized risks and hazards is prescribed by the OSHA General Duty Clause.
Since workers on foot being struck by a forklift represent about 20 percent of fatalities from forklift-related incidents, it's clear that pedestrians should be trained too.
Adding pedestrian safety training to your safety program can be as simple as covering common hazards around forklifts and safe practices that must be followed near forklift operation. Ideally your pedestrian safety protocols won't stop at training but will continue to a traffic safety plan, clearly marked pedestrian walkways with railings or barriers, warning signs and more.
These are just a few of the more common ways your safety training could be lacking. Now it's time to assess your current safety training program and determine if changes need to be made.
Transforming your safety program isn't easy, read more on implementing forklift operator and pedestrian safety training.

Attic Red-Figured Vases, a Survey
Attic Red-Figured Vases, a Survey
When we speak of the art of the Greeks most of us think of their sculpture and architecture--the statues, friezes, and temples that have withstood two or three thousand years of destruction. We seldom think of Greek painting, for the simple reason that practically all the murals and panels that have survived to our day belong to a later age, not to the creative early periods when the foundations of European painting were laid. This great gap is filled, to some extent at least, by the wealth of painted scenes on Greek pottery that have come down to us. Through them we may in some measure visualize the lost monumental pictures, which were praised in such enthusiastic terms by Greek and Roman writers, and follow the development of ancient painting step by step--just as we might glean something of the evolution of modern painting from the graphic arts of to-day. Greek vase decorations therefore assume an importance even over and above their own intrinsic worth.
The pottery discussed in this book is the so-called Athenian red-figure, in which the decoration is "reserved" in red against a black-glazed background. It was produced in Athens during her greatest political and economic prosperity, when painting developed from a decorative to a representational art. The beginnings of this ware can be placed in the last third of the sixth century B.C., when Athens, thanks to the beneficent reforms of Solon and the brilliant rule of Peisistratos, had risen from a comparatively small though enterprising community to a powerful city-state. Before that time, in the middle of the sixth century, Athenian black-figured pottery--with the decoration in black glaze on the red background of the terracotta--had already conquered foreign markets, as the graves of Etruria, South Italy, and the Eastern Mediterranean testify. The reversal of the color scheme from the time-honored dark on light to the new light on dark opened up fresh possibilities to an already flourishing craft. During the whole of the fifth century Athenian red- figured vases retained their ascendancy but the long-drawn-out . . .

The Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns will meet on Sunday for the 38th time in the regular season. The Ravens lead the all-time series with a 28-9 season record.
The Ravens won the first meeting this season 24-10 at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens swept the two matchups last season.
Here are the three best moments of the Ravens-Browns rivalry.
#1 Art Modell moves the Browns to Baltimore
Modell, the owner of the Browns at the time, decided to move the team to Baltimore simply because he did not think the city would okay or be able to pay for a new stadium for the team. The city and season ticket holders responded by suing the team.
The two sides, along with the NFL, eventually reached a compromise. After agreeing to build a new stadium, the team and league agreed to leave the Browns name as well as the team's history and tradition of the franchise in Cleveland.
This compromise has led to similar agreements with teams in the other four major sports leagues (Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, National Basketball Association and National Hockey League). It hasn't really worked out very well for the city of Cleveland.
Since the move, the Ravens have won the AFC North four times, made the playoffs 10 times and won two Super Bowls. On the other hand, the Browns have finished last in the division 15 times in 19 seasons and made the playoffs once.
#2 Defense leads the Browns to first win over the Ravens
In their fifth try against the Ravens, the Browns got their first win in the series in Week 6 of the 2001 season. The Browns defense finished with seven sacks, two interceptions and a fumble recovery en route to a 24-14 victory.
Running back James Jackson scored on an 11-yard run early in the game and the Browns never trailed. Ravens kicker Matt Stover made a pair of field goals sandwiched around one made by Browns kicker Phil Dawson in the second quarter.
The Browns pulled away from the Ravens in the third quarter on touchdown passes from quarterback Tim Couch to wide receivers Kevin Johnson and Quincy Morgan. The Browns entered the final quarter of the game with a 24-6 lead.
Ravens quarterback Randall Cunningham tossed a touchdown and two-point to wide receiver Qadry Ismail midway through the fourth quarter. The Ravens got the ball just two more times in the game and turned the ball over on downs to end both drives.
#3 Ravens score 25 straight points to beat the Browns
In Week 2 of the 2016 season, the Ravens scored 25 unanswered points to avoid being upset by the Browns.
The Browns jumped out to a 20-0 lead on a pair of touchdown passes from quarterback Josh McCown to wide receiver Corey Coleman sandwiched around an 85-yard touchdown run by Isaiah Crowell.
The took a huge turn following the second McCown to Coleman touchdown. Browns kicker Patrick Murray lined up for the extra point but had it blocked by Ravens defensive tackle Lawrence Guy. Ravens defensive back Tavon Young picked up the ball and returned it for two points.
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Mike Wallace and Justin Tucker made a 52-yard field goal to get the Ravens within eight points at halftime.
Flacco threw his second touchdown pass of the game to Wallace early in the third quarter and Tucker made the extra point to make a one-point game. Tucker made two fourth-quarter field goals.
The Browns drove down to the Ravens 30-yard line in the final three minutes with a chance to win the game. However, with 20 seconds left, McCown threw the ball toward the goal line, but Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley intercepted the ball at the two-yard line and tackled at the one. Flacco plowed forward with the ball to run the clock out.

Hi Bonjour dear Claude
Yes, I wonder from when Halloween day has changed as such. In Japan that seemed to be some crazy for me.
By the way her so serious face expression is lovely too. Bluured background sharpens her so vividly. Great street snap iamge from you.
All the best and have a good day! Takero

Hello Claude,
This was a well spotted moment, and it's a good and eye-catching portrait, but isn't it a bit funny that instructions are needed on how and where to be spooky? I bet the author of that guide used a ghost writer. ;-)

Hello Claude,
Cool portrait. :-) I like the concentration on her painted face as she studies the map. I'm one of those adults who always wears a Halloween costume - no face paint - but definitely a costume. :-)

An interesting street scene, the make-up of a woman is impressive.
I see interest in the Halloween program.
Good framing, composition and colors.
I like sharpness and depth.
Well done.
Nice sunday.

Hi Claude
Halloween Stories !!!
Beautifully spooky that you would not like to meet on a dark night .. Lol. It's a wonderful vivid capture with excellent colours right down to the eyes but she doesn't look as though she enjoyed the celebrations! A wonderful collection of little horrors, scary - and not so scary! - subjects here. Wonderfully weird, as the world around us is...
Excellent work
Best regards

Another brilliant image from your Haloween visit to the UK. I'm surprised to see it was taken on the 27th, not the last day of October. I didn't see this kind of celebrations where I live and work, but I rarely go to central London (having said that, I did go to the Tower area on the 30th but not in the evening).
Great candid portrait, I like the expression on the lady's face and the out of focus people in the background.
Have a nice Sunday

Hello Claude,
It is surprising how many adults are as keen on Hallowe'en as the children!
Maybe they are still children at heart or maybe they have children and have to take part in the dressing-up and the festivities.
You have captured a really good shot of this ghostly figure.
It sharp, has a good sense of depth and is well composed; did I mention that it interests us as well!

Hi Claude
its a great visual because she is doing a 'normal' activity, but something obvious isn't normal haha. It would have LESS impact if she was trying to be scary or something, its awesome that she's looking at the pamphlet while looking odd

Dear Claude,
You observed this girl in her Halloween make-up very good. And of course the realization too is very good.
Best Wishes,

The London Evening Standard's new owner, Alexander Lebedev, could be heading for a clash with the National Union of Journalists after claims that journalists' employment rights are not being honoured.
Billionaire and former KGB man Lebedev bought a 75.1 per cent stake in the Evening Standard from the Daily Mail and General Trust last month. The paper is to be run by a new company called Evening Press Ltd.

Nine in ten freelance journalists missing out on holiday pay could be entitled to it, says union

Photographers warned Ariana Grande Pride concert contract breaches 'press freedom'
Journalists have been warned by the new owners that their redundancy terms could be the statutory minimum of £350 per week of service – and that those being made redundant would be compelled to work their notices.
These terms are substantially less then those previously enjoyed by Standard staff – leaving the way open for a possible legal challenge under Tupe – the transfer of undertakings (protection of employment) legislation.
Under Tupe, owners are compelled to honour certain employee benefits, such as redundancy terms, when they take a company over.
Substantial job cuts are feared among an editorial staff at the Standard which is believed to number between 150 and 200.
DMGT has previously paid two weeks' full salary for every year of employment to Evening Standard employees being made redundant.
Press Gazette understands that Evening Press Ltd is arguing that this was not a contractual benefit – so not covered by Tupe.
Representatives from the National Union of Journalists are set to meet Standard staff this week to discuss various concerns surrounding the sale.
Journalists also fear that currently generous pension benefits could be axed by the new owners.
Evening Standard columnist and Guardian blogger Roy Greenslade yesterday likened DMGT proprietor Lord Rothermere to Pontius Pilate for the way he has treated staff.
NUJ national newspapers organiser Barry Fitzpatrick told Press Gazette: "Lord Rothermere has washed his hands of a lot of loyal people who have stayed the course over a lot of years.
"He is not just giving them away – he is leaving their fate to be decided by someone who has paid £1 for the papers and who doesn't want to spend any more in terms of his employment obligations.
"It's not unusual in deals like this for the new owner to include provision for any redundancies in the purchase price. It is unusual for a new owner to argue existing terms will not be honoured."
A claim that Tupe is not being honoured could ulimately have to be argued in the courts.
Press Gazette understands that Evening Press Ltd has made no final decisions yet over the number of redundancies or on possible redundancy terms – pending the outcome of an ongoing consultation.
The Evening Standard has 400 staff in total.
Yesterday, Evening Standard editor Veronica Wadley stepped down to be replaced by Tatler magazine editor Georgie Greig, 48.
He is expected to join the paper later this month when the sale has been completed.
The Evening Standard's new owners are reportedly experimenting with expanding free distribution of the paper to compete with London's two free afternoon papers: London Lite, which has been retained by DMGT, and News International's thelondonpaper.
Media Week is reporting that the Standard is currently testing a strategy of distributing the Standard for free later in the evening
In December, the Standard had an ABC circulation figure of 287,173 – of which 126,346 were free giveaway copies.

03 Aug Fun day at Santana Row!
Get to know me!
Aritzia – Wilfred Beaune Dress (comes in 6 colors)
I've been sharing a lot of my aboard, and long distance travels but not so many local destinations. Today, I want to share with you one of my favorite local hangouts, eating and shopping area. But before we are going into that, I'll share a little about me and where I grew up. If you're following me on Instagram @rachelvogttrends, you know that I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up in San Jose, but now I'm living in the East Bay around 30 mins East of San Francisco because of my husband. I commute into SF around four days a week for my day job, and that's not a fun drive. Since I met my husband, I got introduced to traveling and exploring new spots near and far #caughtthetravelbug. We love going aboard, but the luxury part about living in California is that we have lots to explore, too. Santana Row is a perfect place to visit, shop, eat and hangouts with friends. Santana Row is my go-to spot since traveling into San Francisco Union Square is such a big hassle. If you're like me and don't like sitting in major traffic for hours. The parking situation is a nightmare and very expensive. Santana Row is like a small version of Union Square, in my opinion, I can get all of my luxury and casual shopping, dining and taking a stroll around. Oh, those two things that I mentioned earlier traffic and parking, well no major traffic and free and easy to find parking. Amen!
Aritzia – Wilfred Terre skirt (on sale – sold out online)
Aritzia – Babaton Kahlo Jacket
If you are looking for cute places to shoot #instagramablepicture. Santana Row got so many of these cute walls with perfect lighting for the perfect. You can find these wall on Olin Ave and Talum Ln.
How we spend our Saturday at Santana Row?
On the weekend, I love coming down to Santana Row to spend the day taking our little puppy Chloe (she's a Mini Goldendoodle @chloeminigoldendoodle) out for a stroll. We love sitting out and enjoy a lovely lunch at one of their many delicious restaurants. We went to EMC this time since my husband hasn't been there. The weather is usually in the 80s in the summer, not like San Francisco only 60s in the summertime. Recently, Aritzia a women clothing boutique open up a pop-up store at Santana Row. They will be there for one year and carry more selected items. OMG, I kinda went banana in there, I found so many cute clothes that I had to return the second time to grab a few more pieces.
Lunch at EMC
My 1st visit at Aritzia
My 2nd visit at Aritzia – because I can't help myself
Thank you Santana Row for sponsoring this post, all opinions are mine.

At the time of this concert, "Köhntarkösz" was still in its phase of elaboration, although the recording of the studio album began only 2 months later. Large sequences were still not composed, others were borrowed from "Köhntarkösz Anteria" and were taken away, then used later in the "K. A" recording of 2004. In a similar way, "Theusz Hamtaahk" did not have its final shape and its coda was cut soon after.

AEI delivers sixth freighter to DHL
Aeronautical Engineers Inc. has delivered the sixth B737-400SF freighter to DHL. Southern Air will operate the aircraft for DHL Express in the Americas.
February 6, 2015
By PLA Editor
Aeronautical Engineers Inc. (AEI) has delivered the sixth B737-400SF freighter to DHL. Southern Air will operate the aircraft for DHL Express in the Americas. The aircraft is a high gross weight B737-400SF (MSN 26334) built in 1996 and was converted at Commercial Jet's Dothan, Alabama facility, which is one of five authorised AEI Conversion Centres worldwide. The aircraft was sourced and financing provided thru Strategic Air Finance LLC. DHL's seventh B737-400SF conversion is currently undergoing modification at Commercial Jet. This delivery represents AEI's first of the anticipated 33+ freighters to be delivered in 2015.
Planned routes for the B737-400SF's include flights from Caracas (CCS) Venezuela, to Barbados (BGI) and Trinidad and Tobago (POS) in the Caribbean, as well as from Caracas to Bogota (BOG) Colombia, and Panama (PTY). In the US, the B737-400SF's will add flights from the DHL Express Cincinnati Hub in (CVG) to several cities along the Northeast and Midwest, including Philadelphia (PHL), Hartford (BDL) and St. Louis (STL).
The AEI B737-400SF is the only passenger to freighter conversion product that offers operators ten full height 88" x 125" container positions. This capability is achievable due to AEI's Main Deck Cargo Door location which is approximately 40" further back than the competition. The additional container position increases AEI's volumetric carrying capability by 10 per cent which places the freighter in a class by itself.

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Dhenkanal, Mar 17:
The Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) Court here today sent Hrudananda Biswal alias Tulu, another accused in the much talked about Salman Rout murder case of Tarbha in Odisha's Dhenkanal district on a 14-day judicial remand.
Hrudananda was produced before SDJM Court here after his arrest from Khurda Road railway station early in the morning today. He was caught when he was returning from
He has been elected as a Panchayat Samiti Member from Sankulei Gram Panchayat under Sadar block of the district.
Worth mentioning, Salman Rout was shot at by unidentified miscreants on February 4 night following which he was admitted to Dhenkanal District Headquarters Hospital in a profusely bleeding condition. However, he succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Two groups had clashed in the village over putting up of posters for the upcoming three-tier panchayat polls in the state. It was alleged that Byomkesh, an OSAP jawan posted in Keonjhar, pumped bullets into Salman's chest from point-blank range.
Notably, FIR was lodged against 15 persons in the murder case.
So far, five persons have been arrested in connection with the murder case.

Lions fundraise for new lifter
The Lions Club of Port Pirie have fundraised $7000 for a well-needed patient lifter at St Joseph's House.
The lifter will assist the nurses with moving and weighing residents that can't stand independently, or who may be bed-bound.
It also enables staff to monitor patient weightloss and nutritional requirements.
Karren Bourke, enrolled nurse at St Joseph's, says they previously had to work with just one weigh lifter, which was a major inconvenience to staff and patients.
"Having two for our facility is better because we can get on with our work and the needs of the residents."
The Lions Club began discussion on the project with St Joseph's House at the beginning of last year.
Phil Price, President of the Lions Club, says that the club agreed upon a project together.
"They said they definitely need a lifter, so we said 'right, we can do that fairly quickly'."
Although fundraising for the project was ongoing, the Lions Club received most of their funds through their various local fundraising events, which when combined reached the required amount.
Ms Bourke says that without the Lions Club they wouldn't have been able to afford such a major item. "A great thank you to them."

FORT WORTH, Texas — Kianna Ray made two free throws with 6 seconds left and TCU beat a Top 10 team for the first time in more than eight years, upsetting No. 7 Texas 79-77 on Wednesday night.
Ray was fouled by Ariel Atkins on a drive to the basket. That came after Atkins tied the game, and the second time in the final 38 seconds the two traded baskets. Atkins had made a short runner in the lane before Ray's open 3-pointer put Frogs up 77-75.
A final desperation 3 by Lashann Higgs was way off the mark as the game ended.
Jordan Moore led TCU (11-5, 2-3 Big 12) with 19 points, and Ray had 17. Toree Thompson had 13 points and Amy Okonkwo had 12.
Atkins had 25 points, and Higgs 18 for the Longhorns (13-2, 4-1). They had won six straight.
TCU had lost its last 13 games against ranked teams, and hadn't beaten a Top 10 team since a 56-54 home victory over No. 10 Texas A&M on Dec. 12, 2009.
No. 15 WEST VIRGINIA 74, KANSAS 54
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Naomi Davenport hit four 3-pointers and finished with 22 points and Teana Muldrow had 19 points, nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals for West Virginia.
Katrina Pardee added 15 points for West Virginia (15-2, 3-2 Big 12). The Mountaineers have won five in a row against Kansas (11-5, 2-3).
Kylee Kopatich led Kansas with 17 points.
PURDUE 47, No. 21 RUTGERS 33
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Ae'Rianna Harris scored 13 points, and Purdue held Rutgers to 10 points in the first half and ended the Scarlet Knights' 11-game winning streak.
Andreona Keys added 10 points for the Boilermakers (11-7, 2-2 Big Ten) to help spoil Rutgers' first appearance in the Top 25 since March 2015.
The highlight for Rutgers (16-3, 4-1) was the last basket of the first half, scored by Tyler Scaife at the 4:36 mark that pushed the fifth-year senior into the 2,000-point club.
No. 23 MICHIGAN 84, INDIANA 79
ANN Arbour, Mich. (AP) — Katelynn Flaherty and Hailey Brown scored 23 points apiece for Michigan.
Flaherty scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, including the last six Michigan points in the final 46 seconds. Brown, a freshman, had a career scoring total. She was 10 of 12 from the field.
Nichole Munger added 16 points for the Wolverines (14-4, 3-2 Big Ten). Bendu Yeaney and Tyra Buss had 18 points apiece for the Hoosiers (8-10, 1-4).

Cops Find Three Kids Locked In A U-Haul Carrying Drugs
Authorities in Tennessee rescued three young children who were locked in the back of U-Haul truck. A bystander called the police after witnessing the kids getting placed in the back of the truck at a Welcome Center in Cocke County.
A trooper with the Tennessee Highway Patrol pulled over the U-Haul and reported smelling marijuana when he approached the vehicle. One of the passengers surrendered the marijuana, and the driver admitted that there were kids in the back.
The temperature at the time the officer pulled the U-Haul over was around 92 degrees.
Authorities found crystal meth, cocaine and drug paraphernalia in the cab of the truck and a one-year-old, a five-year-old and an eight-year-old locked in the back. The driver and two adult passengers were arrested and charged with three counts each of child endangerment in addition to drug charges.
Police identified the three adults in the U-Haul as Lakista Williams, Eric Larue, and Willie Green Jr.
The Department of Children's Services has opened an investigation into the incident.

Maine Maritime Academy students lay wreath at El Faro site
Cargo ship sank with 5 graduates on board
Maine Maritime Academy students aboard the training ship State of Maine laid a wreath Thursday at the site where the container ship El Faro sank, schools officials said.
The State of Maine left Castine for St. Croix last week.
The El Faro, with 33 crew members aboard, sank Oct. 1 during Hurricane Joaquin as it made the trip from Jacksonville, Florida, to Puerto Rico. There were no survivors.
Five Maine Maritime graduates were lost in the sinking: Capt. Michael Davidson, of Windham; Michael Holland, of Wilton; Danielle Randolph and Dylan Meklin, of Rockland; and Mitchell Kuflik, of New York City.
Students performed a short ceremony Thursday morning and lowered the wreath into the water.
"All were truly inspired and connected," academy president William Brennan said. "The ceremony was somber yet cathartic, well done, and appropriate. I was moved before it began, when I went out on deck at about 0700 and saw the American flag flying at half-mast and signal flags flying to represent the last names of the MMA El Faro crew: D-R-K-H-M."
There are approximately 950 students at the academy and about 1,400 people in the surrounding town.

Downscaling is the process of translating outputs of coarse-scale Global Climate Models into locally-relevant information.
The 'change factor' method of scaling observed data is a useful, simple technique to produce regional data. The more technical methods of statistical downscaling and dynamical downscaling may produce new, more regional information about the pattern of projected climate change (termed the climate change 'signal'). Downscaling offers the greatest potential for new insights where factors like topography or coastlines are important, such as in Tasmania, the Eastern Seaboard and south-east Australia (See Technical Report Section 6.3.5).
Each downscaling method has its pros and cons and gives different results. Also, downscaling may not be performed for every model and every scenario. In the CCIA 2015 projections (found on this site) we use the CMIP5 ensemble of global climate models as the primary tool for making climate change projections. We complement this with insights from two new sets of downscaling (one statistical and one dynamical) and previous regional studies, especially where there is a compelling case for 'added value' at the regional scale.
Past and forthcoming regional studies of climate change that have produced scaled or downscaled outputs include:Climate Futures for Tasmania NSW and ACT Regional Climate Modelling (NARCLIM) Southeast Australia Climate Modelling (SEACI) QCCCE project for Southeast Queensland (pdf) Indian Ocean Climate Initiative (IOCI) Goyder Institute for Water Research Consistent climate scenarios project

F1 Monaco GP: If it's not one thing it's another…
Here is the quickest summary of the Monaco GP you'll read all week!
Never disappointing, the Monaco Grand Prix
If it's not one thing it's another, I think you'll agree
A few spots of rain during qualifying
Makes pole position seem quite death defying
But the drivers are pros, they know what they're doing
Meanwhile in the media, a story was brewing
A secret test, which was conducted in Spain
Brought Mercedes and Pirelli much pain and no gain
Rivals waved fingers and disapproved
While Mercedes stood firm and relatively unmoved
There was a sense of betrayal and lack of trust
And perhaps sour grapes, under unsettled dust?
With the media frantic and Monaco a buzz
Let's take a look back at the Grand Prix that was
There were crashes and cautions and safety car stints
And then clean ups and pit stops in-between sprints
A red flag was waived before the action subdued
Then a mad dash to the finish quickly ensued
There isn't much passing in Monte Carlo
But don't tell Adrian or Kimi or Sergio
They found clever ways, to make a quick pass
Though some moves were rude and a wee bit crass
To a young Nico Rosberg, this day belonged
His winless streak, would not be prolonged
Second was Vettel, who got satisfaction
By snagging fastest lap with little distraction
Webber was third, to round out the top three
Spraying chilled champagne quite happily
Fourth was Lewis unable to give chase
Then Sutil in fifth, who drove a great race
Jenson Button was sixth, with Alonso behind
who did not seem to be, in the right frame of mind
Then Jean-Eric Vergne in his STR
Was eighth crossed the line and first at the bar
Di Resta was ninth, just four tenths back
And Kimi was last in the points paying pack
Next stop is Canada, the land of good cheer
Where the winters are cold….but so is the beer

Orange juice and softness, a gentle demise & a knowing smile in tonight's darkening gloom.
Such is happiness!
Fireside candles glowing, flickering, playing besides this weary, well-worn body.
& I am happy!
Another night, another day, another secret for me to tell – & i know you like my secrets to be told – & so i tell.
…That dress!
That wicked, playful, guarded gate to the joyful garden of blissful death. How i laugh in amusement with the dreams i have had!
We spoke today. & we kissed. & she held my hand and squeezed it thoughtfully. Her eyes never leaving mine!
& though you can't see my eyes smile right now, alight in strong flames do they glow…& sing…& dream.
& the background music plays again. for like desire, it burns in repetition & leads me in to a deep, dark, sweet joyful loss of mind!
& then to her.
In her slim summer dress she sings. She twirls and dances and skips and smiles.
& my mouth reacts in tortured insanity!
& her thighs! How I love those thighs!
Or at least i am teased by the sight of the skin that slides towards her provocative thighs! & i laugh!
& then her arms! – oh, tender, charming, playful, toned controllers of my mind!
ah…& i sit here. & like a lunatic, I grin again! Wider! Brighter!
& with insane delusions, I dream of that dress each day, until in my mind, her warm soft skin reveals its touch to my mine & her sweet young face glimmers in innocent delight.
She smiles once more & she is gone.
& i am truly happy inside
For I have met her once before & loved her well.
& so I will again.
I promise.

In 2016, the report estimates, app stores will offer a lot more mobile games as compared to games for PCs and gaming consoles. An increasing number of mobile games is being launched on a daily basis, thus driving the online smartphone and tablet games market. Furthermore, the ever increasing number of games in app stores encourages more users to download and try new games, which in turn helps the market to grow.
Games have become an indispensable part of every smartphone and tablet, empowering users of all age groups to be a part of the booming gaming culture. Games of various categories to entertain not only kids and youngsters, but also adults are available in high numbers in app stores. Technological improvements in smartphones and tablets, thereby reducing time lag and enhancing the operability, have also impacted the market positively. The availability of high-speed internet is also one of the major drivers of the online smartphone and tablet games market.

EC2 Free micro instance is rather hobbled
I keep having issues with the MySQL DB going offline on this free instance. The server is doing very little but I guess it's enough to crash MySQL frequently. I might have to make other arrangements.
I keep having issues with the MySQL DB going offline on this free instance. The server is doing very little but I guess it's enough to crash MySQL frequently. I might have to make other arrangements.
As of the last post I have now moved this blog and a couple of others to a free EC2 instance. As long as I don't get hammered, the performance should be perfectly adequate. So far, the experience has been quite good. There are some peculiarities with using AWS that you have to get used to, but otherwise, it's pretty nice. Maybe more about this later.
If you're seeing this post, you're looking at the cloud.
I made another attempt at using VT-d for my cameras by going with Zoneminder under Linux. This actually worked and seemed to work ok but I really dislike Zoneminder! I tried Motion and kMotion instead and the good news is it works…for longer. I'm still having problems with kernel crashes after a day or two. It's encouraging but I'm not sure I want to fuss with it anymore. Maybe I'll try Zoneminder one more time just in case the kernel wants to behave.
Actually, it works but with limitations. No shock there. It turns out the PV-149 CCTV capture card I'm trying to pass through presents each channel as a separate Video and Audio device. What that means is I end up with 8 PCI devices that need to be extended. I'm running into a problem that might be specific to VMWare or VT-d where I can't passthrough more than 6 PCI devices. This isn't too big a deal as I don't use the audio channels but I'm worried now that the missing audio is causing some BSOD's. I'm still investigating.
Otherwise, vSphere is running pretty nice.
Everything's working great so far with a few exceptions I can live with. I have 5 VM's running, mostly lightweight stuff, including my security camera system. For that I'm using Win XP and feeding the PV-149 CCTV capture card through via VT-d. Video streaming from BlueIris is working just fine and I also have PIAF running all of the phones, PFSense as a server on a stick running DHCP and DNS forwarding and the VMWare mobile appliance so I can watch it on my iPad.
I've started to install SageTV but it's not done yet. So far everything's got plenty of pep. No quality problems with PIAF so far either.
Speaking of PIAF, the years old post about SIP trunking between Asterisk and a Cisco 1760 that has gotten so much attention, yeah, that's old school now! I just converted to a Linksys SPA3102 for my PSTN connectivity and it's working perfectly. I think it might forward calls through a little more quickly too. The 1760 developed a bad fan and I couldn't see spending money on it. I'll probably try to ebay it.
Finally, I'm thinking about passing through the USB bus for SageTV to take advantage of the improved throughput but I believe I'll need to be careful not to allocate the same bus that has the keyboard (KVM) on it. More later…
I've just started my quest to get this working. It's been difficult finding examples of success from others but I finally found a reference to a specific motherboard and CPU combo that has worked for others.
I'm using an Intel DQ67SWB3 motherboard with an i5-2400 CPU. Of course I had to get a separate Intel NIC since the onboard isn't supported.
My plan is to use this for a number of servers including my CCTV security camera system. This is using a PV-149 PCI video capture card which would have to be passed through via VT-d for the VM Guest to see it. I've successfully installed ESXi 4.1 update 1 via a USB key and I'm in the process of adding some VM's. A couple of issues have come up. First, I don't have performance stats updating in vSphere client. I'm not sure if this is a driver issue with the "unsupported" motherboard or if it's a problem with the ESXi install. I can see the overall utilization on the summary pages though so it's not like I'm blind. Also, I'm able to add devices via VT-d but it's not clear to me yet if I can pass-through multiple devices to a single Guest.
I'm installing XP in a Guest right now and as soon as that's done patching (lot's of patches) I'll be working on getting that capture card visible.
I also plan on running PIAF (Asterisk) and SageTV in other VMs. I'm probably going to need a really basic DNS server as well. At some point I might try passing through the onboard NIC to a firewall VM, perhaps PFSense or Untangle. Not sure about that yet.

These 3D DLP-Link glasses are pretty comfortable, even when wearing normal glasses. They fit perfectly, they are light in weight, and the battery is long-lasting. I have watched several movies and haven't had to charge them yet. They darken the image a little, but it's hardly noticeable. They take half a second to synchronize, and even if you move your head, they stay in perfect sync. When I bought them, I didn't think they would work so well. They're just perfect for me. In fact, I have two pairs!
It does not have much power (light power), which is the only downside. The rest is great, it works with my power bank, USB input, micro SD card, mini USB (compatible Android otg), HDMI and video. It is super compact, smaller than an adult hand, and I use it to watch movies from the laptop projected on the wall. It does its job perfectly. It is so tiny and lightweight that you can take it with you everywhere. I recommend it, I'm in love with my little projector.
I'm really happy with the product, it works perfectly with Ethernet and USB interface. The printer is very fast and offers a strong beeping sound that can be set to ON-OFF. It didn't take me long to install it, but it's true that I'm in the IT business. Maybe a basic user needs some help. I use it with an Android tablet and the Loyverse app and it works perfectly. It also opens the drawer automatically. For now, I give this printer a 10/10, taking into account the quality/price ratio. Any Thermal 80mm printer with Ethernet interface does not cost less than €150.00
I spend many hours on the computer and so I wanted some headphones to listen to music mainly while I work. I didn't need anything spectacular, just comfortable headphones with a long enough cable and a good sound. After seeing the price and reading the descriptions, I decided on these and although I have only used them for a couple of days I am still very happy with the purchase. Very good value for money. Lightweight, comfortable and very good sound. I'd buy them back.

Happy Saturday Everyone!
As you probably noticed, I (again) have been consistent on the blogging front for some time now. Won't you clap for me? hehe
What's better than a long dress? With this dress it was a love at first sight. I mean, can it be any other way? The first thing that came to mind when I tried it on was that I look like a bride but we all know i'm not gonna look this simple so I relegated it to the role of wedding reception dress also known as second dress. Not only that. Its also perfect for the red carpet and black tie events. Don't you think?

March 25, 2009
Bethesda is currently working with Microsoft to remove Fallout 3's new expansion, The Pitt. Players of both the PC and Xbox versions are reporting rainbow textured raiders, and an abundance of floating exclamation points in the new DLC. Bethesda is blaming the screwups on "corrupted" files, but my guess is that they simply rushed the product and didn't think anyone would notice.
I wasn't really looking forward to The Pitt anyways, as the last DLC to be released for Fallout 3 was Operation Anchorage, which took place inside a virtual reality simulator. Now, to me, placing your expansion inside a VR world just screams "I'm too lazy to actually write a storyline that will actually impact the game world," and I passed on that, but The Pitt is supposed to take place in the real Fallout 3 world. I hoped that maybe this expansion wouldn't be a rushed piece of shit, too, but I will be avoiding this, and probably any further Fallout 3 expansions like the plague.
I don't know why I came to expect anything else from the same people that brought us all horse armor.

Topic Page: Nitrogen cycle
Earth Science. the continuous process by which nitrogen circulates among the air, soil, water, plants, and animals of the earth. In a specific cycle, nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted by bacteria into substances that green plants can absorb from the soil; animals then eat these plants (or eat other animals that feed on the plants); the animals and plants then die and decay; the nitrogenous substances in the decomposed organic matter then return to the atmosphere and the soil.
the continuous flow of nitrogen through the biosphere by the processes of nitrogen fixation, ammonification (decay), nitrification, and denitrification. Nitrogen is vital to all living matter, both plant and animal; it is an essential constituent of amino acids, which form proteins of nucleic acids, and of many other organic materials.
Although the earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, free gaseous nitrogen cannot be utilized by animals or by higher plants. They depend instead on nitrogen that is present in the soil. To enter living systems, nitrogen must be "fixed" (combined with oxygen or hydrogen) into compounds that plants can utilize, such as nitrates or ammonia. A certain amount of atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by lightning and by some cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). But the great bulk of nitrogen fixation is performed by soil bacteria of two kinds: those that live free in the soil and those that live enclosed in nodules in the roots of certain leguminous plants (e.g., alfalfa, peas, beans, clover, soybeans, and peanuts). Among the free-living forms are species of Clostridium, discovered c.1893 by Sergei Winogradsky, and Azotobacter, discovered c.1901 by M. W. Beijerinck. Both Clostridium and Azotobacter are generally present in agricultural soils, and both are saprophytes, i.e., they use the energy from decaying organic matter in the soil to fuel soil processes, including nitrogen fixation.
Bacteria that live in the roots of legumes are of the genus Rhizobium, first isolated c.1888 by Beijerinck. These rod-shaped bacteria enter the roots chiefly through the root hairs and then work their way to the inner root tissues. There they stimulate the growth of tumorlike nodules. Within the nodules the bacteria develop into forms called bacteroids, which live in a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with the green plant. The bacteroids take carbohydrates from the plant for energy to fix nitrogen and synthesize amino acids; the plants take the amino acids elaborated in the nodule to build plant tissue. Animals in turn consume the plants and convert plant protein into animal protein. Rhizobia can be found free-living in the soil, but they cannot fix nitrogen in the free state, nor can the legume root fix nitrogen without Rhizobia.
The exact biochemistry of nitrogen fixation within the nodule is not yet understood. It is estimated that more than 300 lbs of nitrogen per acre (340 kg per hectare) can be fixed by fields of alfalfa and other legumes. After a harvest legume roots left in the soil decay, returning organic nitrogen compounds to the soil for uptake by the next generation of plants. For this reason crop rotation in which a leguminous crop is rotated with a nonleguminous one is a common practice for maintaining soil fertility.
Decomposing animal remains and animal wastes also return organic nitrogen to the soil as ammonia. Many different kinds of decay microorganisms participate in ammonification. The nitrifying bacteria of the genus Nitrosomonas oxidize the ammonia to nitrites, and Nitrobacter oxidize the nitrites to nitrates. The nitrates can then be taken up again by the green plant. The cycle of fixation-decay-nitrification-fixation can proceed indefinitely without any nitrogen being returned to a gaseous state. But still another group of microorganisms, the denitrifying bacteria, can reduce nitrates all the way to molecular nitrogen. Denitrification occurs only in the absence of oxygen and is not common in well-cultivated soils.
Nitrogen fixation can also be accomplished artificially by various methods (see nitrogen). Humans annually fix vast amounts of nitrogen for industrial purposes and for use as fertilizer. Unfortunately, large-scale legume cultivation and artificial fixation may be upsetting the natural nitrogen cycle in the biosphere. There is some question whether natural denitrification can keep pace with fixation. For one thing, run-off of nitrate fertilizer can cause eutrophication of lakes and streams (see water pollution) and can foul drinking supplies. Another environmental problem is that inorganic fertilizers tend to depress legume fixation. As a consequence, root tissue remaining after harvest is poorer, and thus more fertilizer must be applied the following year.

Celeteque DermoScience+ Product Launch
Posted August 26, 2011on:
my very first product launch… thanks to roche for the invite! 🙂
i've always liked celeteque – and im NOT saying that just because i came from their event! it's true. there was a time in my life, where i swear by celeteque's facial wash and moisturizer. sadly, they only had one variant at that time and i had to move to another brand to address the changing needs of my skin.
so, i'm happy to know that they have come up with different formulations to suit different skin types! 🙂 the line now featues products on Acne Solution, Brightening, Hydration, Restorative, Anti-Aging and Sun Care.
during the launch, there were stations where you can test their products, skin checking / scanning and a dermatologist booth… sadly i wasn't able to try any of them because: (i) i was wearing makeup and (ii) there were a lot of people who wanted to try 🙂
celeteque gave all the guests a huge goody bag – i was amazed when i saw how much products they gave us! 🙂
will definitely try their new products and let you know my feedback.
on a side note…
i was sooo happy to finally meet some of my fellow bloggers… (hi!!!) they were so nice and they talked to me eventhough i was the "new girl" 🙂 i admire most of them – seems like they've been to soooo many launches and they know what to do, they took everything in stride… whereas me? i was dumb-founded! hahaha

Hello Kendz! Finally I found your blog. I kept on typing KIKAY CANDY, but it's Kikay Kendz pala. Nice meeting you at the event. 🙂 Hope to see you soon in a lot more! 😀
P.S. Thanks for including me in your blog roll. Very much appreciated. But it's spelled as JUNKEE. There's another blogger named Caby, and she's THE BEAUTY JUNKIE. 😀 Thank you! 😀

For four years, she was known to wander the street of Badejo Kalesanwo, Oduduwa Community, in Mushin Local Government Area Lagos State.
She slept on the road, ate from bins and went about in tatters.
Some months ago, people saw her with a protruding belly and dismissed it as fibroid growth.
However, on the morning of December 25, 2013 the unknown mad woman, who identified herself to PUNCH Metro as Amudatulai, a native of Ibadan in Oyo State, went into labour and self-delivered a baby girl as residents watched in awe.
Eyewitnesses said she immediately named the baby girl Mariam Olorundamilare Odunayo (Olorundamilare, means God has given me the victory, while Odunayo means, the year of Joy).
A resident, who identified herself simply as Mama Adoyo, said Amudatulai delivered the baby by the dump site situated along the newly-tarred road.
She said, "I have known her for a long time. She used to sit and sleep on that road. When we saw her protruding stomach, we didn't know she was pregnant. We thought it was fibroid. But around 6am on Wednesday, she was crying and screaming my name and other people's names in the area because we play with her a lot.
"I later moved close to her and when I saw it was labour pains, I asked her to let us go to the hospital, but she said no, insisting that she could see people bathing her baby, whereas she had not delivered by that time.
"I kept my eyes on her as she was screaming. Suddenly, the baby came out. We didn't know on time, but a driver who was passing by called our attention that we should move closer to her because she had given birth.
"We had to quickly call a nurse who came to cut the placenta. The nurse later injected her and cleaned her up."
Mama Adoyo said one of the community leaders donated money to assist in buying some materials, as other people in the neighbourhood trooped out with old and new clothes for the mother and child.
A female worker with the Lagos State Waste Management Authority, Mrs. Modupe Salami, who cleans the street, told our correspondent that although Amudatulai still raved after the delivery of the baby, she was generally well behaved and could be rescued with a good medical help.
PUNCH Metro learnt that a man who claimed to be a brother of the new mother had been calling some of the residents on the telephone to keep an eye on Amudatulai, adding that he would come to take her back to Ibadan.
The said brother was also said to have claimed that Amudatulai had three other children in Ibadan.
A community leader, Alhaji Babatunde Shittu, appealed for the intervention of relevant government agencies before an imposter took advantage of the situation.
Shittu said, "I must say that we all are concerned as to how she came about the pregnancy. We don't even know where she came from since she came here four years ago. Government should take care of both the mother and the child. There is no way you can compare someone who is sane with someone who is not. Again, she is homeless and needs good accommodation. People are only guessing that her family members are coming. If this lady has good medical care, she will be normal."
Our correspondent observed on Friday that she was being sheltered along with her baby in a shop on the street.
The dimly-lit wooden structure had a mattress and a mosquito net for the new baby.
Our correspondent also observed as excited residents gathered round the shelter to catch a glimpse of the baby and give her money.
Our correspondent asked Amudatulai how she felt about her new baby, and the attention she was getting.
She said, "I am so happy today. I know my portion is joy in this Lagos. And my joy will not end…" At this point, she began to rave and abuse a woman beside her, asking for papers to show ownership of an unidentified portion of land.

Auraglow Colour Changing Mushroom Lamp Reviews
Cute little lamp
Reviewed 4 May 2019 by Peter
Nice idea, globe is soft to touch, genuinely does cycle through the colours. All plastic -- the base is not wood.
Glow happy

Absolutely love this lamp. Not too big and a nice wooden stand with a charging port. Easy to understand instructions. Love the colour changing facility and you can leave as an orb shape or gently push down to make a mushroom shape. My son who has learning difficulties and loves any sort of sensory colour changing light will love this from Father Christmas this year. Highly recommend.
Fantastic design
Reviewed 1 April 2017 by WiL
These are absolutely stunning pieces of design, both practical and pretty, good mood lighting as well as just a nice table lamp, tactile as well as being easily cleaned and safe for kids to play with.
There is an art to changing the shape, and it is not just a gimmick, it changes the light it casts, think of it as a physical dimmer switch. The globe is removeable and washable.
They look great on a dinner table or on a bar with glasses around, as well as by the bedside, the light cast is extremely flattering, too.
The timer function is useful for many things, not just as a night light, it's very accurate, so you can use it to time things that you do, anything at all. To time something longer than the maximum hour, just change the shape or colour to remind you that one hour has gone by, and set it again for the remaining time required.
The battery lasts a very long time, especially on a still colour, and it's possible to use it AND charge it at the same time.
They're beautiful, practical, fun, useful, safe for everyone to play with, and very intuitive.
One slight con: the light bleeds into the base a teeny bit, but honestly, it's not really a problem.
A great gift, and well worth the asking price!
Excellent product
Reviewed 1 December 2016 by chem
Looks great and the lights show is lovely, works brilliantly in our daughter's bedroom as a night light and for sensory play.

Knowing something ahead and knowing something isn't going to be there anymore is a feeling and thought you really don't wanna have in your mind. I know I'm not going to get this moment back again. I know this little monster is going to grow up really fast and this phase of being a little toddler isn't going to come back. I also know that I'm going to miss this
My Notes
It's not easy being a parent to three [totally different] kids. It's not easy being a parent. Period. Whether you have one or three or five or ten, just being a parent to any living animal is not easy. Even having a dog is hard. I always wanted to be a good mom. I wanted to be the active, knowledgeable mom that the kids could come to at any time,
My Notes
Giving Birth to Three Children
Giving birth. Just the sound of it makes you feel something deep inside, doesn't it? Getting pregnant is something that makes a woman feel something no man can ever understand. It's special, it's sacred and it's so amazing. I was blessed to have been able to experience it three times. I am so thankful for three healthy pregnancies and three very healthy and safe deliveries. It's really something that is
My Notes
Becoming a parent
It's really not easy being a parent. Especially if you have three crazy ones going all over the place all the time. But sometimes (and I probably mean MOST OF THE TIME IN MY HEART) I really don't mind the craziness. There are times I feel I want to just lock myself in the bathroom or something or just give Josh and Andrea my phone or the iPad for them

Apply AdvancedExpression on Page Load (JS Framework)
I have successfully altered a user's query to use a specific Collection and to boost the Title field. The problem however is that this alteration is only occurring when the user interacts with the Search box and I need it to occur on page load as well.
With the javascript below when the page is loaded with http://url/#q=test I get 4,103 results back but if I then click the Search button I get 3,805 back because the filter is now being applied. Thoughts on what I am supposed to do to make it so on page load the collection is taken into account?
$(document).ready(function () {
Coveo.$('#search').on("doneBuildingQuery", setupQreOnQueryBuilt);
function coveoInit(endPoint) {
var createQre = function (expression, modifier) {
var qre = "";
if (expression && modifier) {
qre = "$qre(expression:'" + expression + "', modifier:'" + modifier + "')";
return qre;
var setupQreOnQueryBuilt = function (e, args) {
var queryBuilder = args.queryBuilder;
var query = queryBuilder.build();
var collectionFilter = "@syssource==\"Kb\"";
//Add a heavier weight to the Title field
var qre = createQre("@systitle=\"" + query.q + "\"", "75");
It's probably because of the order with which your functions are executed. Put a breakpoint on the
line, and then another one on the
Coveo.$('#search').on("doneBuildingQuery", setupQreOnQueryBuilt);
You should see which one is executed first (probably the
init one).
And since the first query is automatically triggered by default on initialization (meaning, inside the code that is executed when you call
init), then your code that adds qre is not executed on the first query.
A simple fix would be to change your init function like this :
function coveoInit(endPoint) {
Coveo.$('#search').on("doneBuildingQuery", setupQreOnQueryBuilt);
Perfect, thanks Olamothe
