Raspberry Whipped Cream
Whipped cream in the Vitamix® Aer™ disc container is surprisingly quick and effortless. With or without raspberries, it's the perfect addition to a range of desserts.
- 3 cups (720 ml) heavy cream
- ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (125 g) raspberries
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Select the lowest setting. Start the machine, increase to its highest speed, and run for 45 seconds to 1 minute, using the tamper to press ingredients into the disc toward the end of the run time.
Raspberries can be left out of this recipe for a more traditional style of whipped cream. Alternatively, other soft berries (blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, etc.) can be added for a different flavor profile. Add a few drops of vanilla extract to taste if desired. For your desired whipped cream blend on Variable 7 until you get the lighter whipped cream this will take longer than the time on the recipe. Maybe up to a minute.

Raspberry Whipped Cream is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 1 out of 5 by ChuckH from Raspberry whipped cream seemed to lack lightness I made this according to the recipe except I used 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. I've made whipped cream in the regular container and it always produced a very light and airy whipped cream at held together in the bottom of the container. The whipped cream in the Aer Disc container was not concentrated in the bottom of the container. Instead, it was all over the sides and much less like the kind of light whipped cream I'm used to. I had to scrape it off the sides of the container. I was disappointed and probably won't use it for this again. I've had more misses than hits with this new tool.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TammyP from Wow! The Aer Disc makes perfect whipped cream! It was easy and fast, and the consistency was absolutely perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chef Randolph from Everything I hoped this container would be. I have been waiting for this to come out for a long time. It emulsifies delicate sauces with complete control. It's ability to make a perfect and effortless Pisco Sour is worth the price of admission.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CrazyJayinPalmerAlaska from Mixed Berry Whip Cream I decided to make a mixed berry sparkling soda.. No coconut water so I threw 1/2 pound of shredded coconut into the soda. I had to eat it with a spoon so I threw in about 1 cup of heavy cream into about half of the soda pop pulp. My God was it top notch! I LOVE AER container. Later Crazy Jay in Palmer Alaska.

i have a potted palm on my deck. it's one of those you can buy at ikea or home depot for ten dollars. i don't think much of it in the summer because i am surrounded by an abundance of lush green flora. but i will pull it inside come winter, and it will be a welcome bit of green in my mostly black and white world. and i will dote on it. i will pay close attention to its well being. i will keep its soil moist. and i will move it around the house so it can always get the most of our limited northern light. but today i realized my summertime benign neglect has has been misguided. there won't be any new growth in winter. so if i hadn't stopped to look at these newly unfurling leaflets today, i would have missed a little bit magic.

18 Adult Coloring Books to Relieve Stress
As I said in an earlier post, coloring is not just for the kids anymore, and it is not just something that keeps the 10 and under set busy on a rainy afternoon. It is now what adults around the world are picking up. It is becoming the latest most popular trend among adults to get their stress under control and distract themselves from the daily pressures of life. Here is a list of adult coloring books that are sure to accommodate just the right mood. I'm sure you'll find one that's perfect for you. Happy drawing.
Releasing your Anger
Sometimes people in chronic pain have to deal with idiots. The kind of people who say things like ," just pop a pill and pull yourself together". Worse still, some of those people think chronic pain sufferers are lazy. "You don't look like you're in pain", they'll say. If you're dealing with such an idiot, you might be tempted to get into a screaming match. However, that will only add to you stress. The irreverent coloring books above offer a witty and fun way to let you express yourself. You can find quirky entertaining quips to suit your mood. They'll crack you up, but they are definitely not for the kiddies. So please keep them away from the kids. That said, these books can be used by anyone who has ever had someone upset them. Go ahead and dedicate a page to them, but remember this is about lessening your stress. Ignore the instinct to send them the page. Just have yourself a good laugh.
The Value of Faith
You might wonder why I would follow a bunch of irreverent coloring books with positive coloring books that can be used for the whole family. That's a fair observation. Here's the gist. Emotions play a big part in how well we manage our pain. Sometimes, as stated above, we just need to blow off steam; other times we need positive affirmations. If you're looking to color with your kids, reduce anxiety, and find inspiration, the coloring books below are a good place to start. Studies have shown that faith is medically and psychologically beneficial. So if you're seeking wisdom combined in color or just a great way to unwind, check the books out.
The Value of Getting distracted
With the books below you get hours of stress relief through creative expression, and in the process you can distract yourself from pain. Whether it's oceans, grasslands, fun animals, there's plenty to keep you busy. You can even explore the "Secret Garden"–the book that started the adult color craze.
Go and Explore Different Worlds
I saved some of the best books for last. You can transport yourself to a world of tropical landscapes or meet alluring mermaids. You can enter the world of Thomas Kinkade–a painter of light. I have visited a Thomas Kinkade studio, and I can tell you first hand that his paintings are stunning. He covers everything from scenes of Star Wars to baseball legends in exquisite detail. I couldn't pass on the Disney Dream Images. I think you'll love them also. Here's your chance to see Alice in Wonderland and The Lion King in a beautiful new light. On the other hand, you might want to visit an underwater world hidden in the depths of the sea and look for buried treasure. Hey, who knows what you'll find. I mean if you can find pink elephants, never mind that people say there's no such thing, you can find something neat in the ocean. The point is to let your mind go somewhere full of wonder, magic, and inspiration. Have a great journey.
Go somewhere full of wonder and escape your stress.

The 2018 Bote Rover
Share this page:
Posted: May, 28, 2018 |
Author: Jennifer & Barrett H
| Sea Sup Go Paddle & Surf
It is making wakes through the paddle boarding community – literally. The Rover is Bote's newest addition to their 2018 line-up of stunning boards, only this one has a motor. Clearly designed with the fisherman in mind the board boasts a 500lbs weight capacity, all the attachment capabilities you could ever dream of needing, and with the added Rotopacs and a 6hp Mercury Engine, the ability to go 100 miles at speeds up to 18mph. The design highlights performance for one rider but there is still plenty of room to bring along a friend, the kids, or the family dog to your water adventure. Luckily, I got to be a passenger for a fishing trip on the Indian River Lagoon.
Sean came cruising up, fully equipped and clearly ready for a morning of fishing. I hopped on the Rover and took a seat on the Kula at the front of the board while he stood at the Grabrac behind me. The board was also outfitted with three fishing poles, one in each holder on the Grabrac and one to trolled behind us on the Motorrac, a bucket to hold his casting net and other tools, and the Kula for bait fish (also doubled as my seat). It was a bit of windy morning, winds 12-14mph so I was a bit nervous as we went out towards the channel to try our luck for some mullet. It handled better than expected though, as we easily accelerated over boat wakes and the windy conditions with no fear of capsizing.
We arrived at our first spot where Sean sent out his cast net a few times to get bait fish. Even with the two of us on the 14ft board, he still had plenty of room to cast his net out, gather the catch and toss in the Kula. The next stop was far up a canal, so we could drift down with the current. First Cast – First Catch! With some (sort of) good luck, Sean pulled up a small tarpon that couldn't have been bigger than my hand. A quick catch and release while we continued to move down the canal.
With both of our lines now cast we easily positioned the Rover where we wanted it while keeping our lines in the water. Sean has been fishing for practically his whole life and it showed as we kept both lines baited with either live bait or chum to attract tarpon, mullet or possibly the small bull shark in the waters around us. Easiest to see were the small shark, which were visible in every direction in the shallow areas of the canal. We floated to the end without much action but it was when we used the sandspear to hold ourselves to the embankment that we saw the most action. We were then able to catch some smaller fish, including a catfish, and most impressively a shark.
When we hooked the shark the first thing Sean did was pull out the Sandspear so we could be sure to float with the shark as we reeled in our catch. After fighting and pulling we got it to the edge of the Rover. The moment of truth was getting the shark onto the board. Sean held it down with one knee and somehow even managed to get his hook back before releasing it back into the river. After what felt like ten minutes (but was probably closer to two) he looked at me, laughed and said, "Well that went better than expected." During this commotion I remember thinking how surprised I was at how comfortable and stable the board remained despite our battle.
With that we called it a day. Honestly, I knew we'd be able to catch something but was pretty sure a small shark wouldn't be on our itinerary! What I was most impressed with was how easy it was not just to maneuver the Rover on the water but also move around on the Rover without fear of falling. We were always needing to shift our positions to get a better angle for our lines or get more bait. Really, it would have been just as easy to drop one off to wade fish as the other stayed. The Rover made this fishing trip easy and fun! All you need on it are your essentials and maybe a friend for a fun time on the water. Similar to a micro skiff but able to go into the skinniest of waters, there is certainly a place for the New Rover on the water!

According to the New York Times, "Global warming has become perhaps the most complicated issue facing world leaders". The debate on Global ...view middle of the document...
The emission of burnt fossil fuels including coal, gasoline, oil, and natural gas raises the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Increases of methane and nitrous oxide are caused my farming practices and land use changes. Deforestation also contributes to the greenhouse gases because trees use carbon dioxide and emit oxygen in its place. We cut down the trees for farming or construction, this cause an increase of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere which helps increase greenhouse gases. Lastly population increases contribute to the greenhouse effect because more people are using more fossil fuels for transportation, heat and manufacturing thereby increasing the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.
One of the government agencies that monitor the greenhouse effect is NOAA. NOAA stands for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In the process of monitoring, they have devised 7 indicators which that would expect to increase in a warming world and 3 that would expect to decrease in a cooling world. These include temperatures of air, land and sea as well as temperature over the oceans, troposphere temperature, humidity and ocean heat content. Another agency that monitors the greenhouse effect is the EPA which stands for Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA has been monitoring the greenhouse effect for several years under the direction of the White House.
The two main indicators each agency has discovered is that the increase of the burning of fossil fuels have been the main contributor to the increase of greenhouse gases and that carbon dioxide while being less potent than other gases is the most significant one and has increased tremendously over the last decade. This is due to many different factors the greatest being deforestation.
Global warming has been a topic of discussion among many people including scholars, politicians, and scientist. There are many facts and fictions floating about concerning this topic. Where you find answers can be as frustrating as cutting your lawn with a pair of scissors. There are hundreds and hundreds of websites dealing with this subject. I have researched quite a few of them and still have to rely on my on common sense to filter out what is what. So far as facts are concerned, this is what I know to be true.
1. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases being retained in the earth's atmosphere.
2. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and water vapors make up greenhouse gases with carbon dioxide being the most important.
3. Human beings contribute to global warming by the burning of fossil fuels such as natural gases, oils,...

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday in Abuja urged religious leaders in the country to assist government to overcome forces of destruction by enlightening their followers to guard against religious extremism and terrorism.
He made the call while receiving the leadership of Qadiriyya Islamic Movement in Africa at the State House, Abuja.
Buhari, in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and publicity, Garba Shehu, also noted that Muslim leaders have a duty to promote the principles and tenets of Islam as a religion of peace and justice.
He said that those who indoctrinate children and plant explosives on them to harm innocent people do not belong to any religion but ''terrorists who should be identified and fought until they give up their evil ways.''
The President, who commended the Qadiriyya movement for promoting education, interfaith dialogue and good moral conduct in the society, expressed support for the proposed Islamic Centre in Abuja by the movement.
Speaking earlier in his remarks, the leader of the Qadiriyya in Africa, Sheikh Qaribullah Kabara had congratulated the President on his emergence as his party's candidate for the 2019 election.
He also commended the President on the achievements of his administration since coming into office, stressing the diversification of the economy, increased power supply and food sufficiency.
Speaking with State House correspondents at the end of meeting, Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Gamduje said "First of all to congratulate Mr. President for picking the ticket to run for second term and he used the opportunity to thank Mr. President for the development in Nigeria especially in the economy which has improved especially electricity and also agriculture and also we used the opportunity to inform Mr. President the importance of the Qadiriyyah center which is being built here in Abuja.
"It is basically for education especially for reducing extremism, radicalism in religion. This is the right time the centre will be able to control the minds of the followers.
"So the centre is under construction now. Mr. President appreciated the building of the centre and he promised to the help concern of the centre. We also prayed for Mr. President.

Good morning. Equity futures are a touch higher, sp +1pt, we're set to open at 2015. USD is fractionally lower, -0.1% in the DXY 94.70s. Metals continue to battle higher, Gold +$10. Oil is making another play for a daily close above the $50 threshold, +0.6%.
... a semi-holiday in the US today.. so it will be somewhat quiet.... and that would normally favour the equity bulls.
Broadly, market looks on track for the 2040/60 zone. All that matters now is whether we see a monthly close above old broken support.
Frankly, it is not looking good for the equity bears.... not least with China getting very close to a key breakout.
The one valid excuse for a wave lower will come next week.. with yet another FOMC. Will the market sell lower on no rate rise again, or actually rise into end month >2060?
Doomer chat, Hunter with Williams
Williams remains on the 'inflation is coming train'... and in that respect.. he remains... wrong. As ever, make of that... what you will.
Overnight Asia action...
Japan: CLOSED
China: +3.3% @ 3287. Any sustained action >3400 would be suggestive that the decline from June is complete.
Have a good Monday

Testing in the cloud: Considering the risks
In this tip, SSQ contributor Matt Heusser talks about the risks of cloud computing, giving the tester some strategies for questions that can be asked of cloud vendors and IT.
Cloud computing promises a huge number of advantages for software developers. There's the ability to rent servers, to scale those servers out, to create new capacity on-demand and possibly even to eliminate the need for a physical data center.
Sadly, eliminating the need for testing isn't one of them.
Instead of a list of common failure points and things to test for, I'll focus on high-level risks. As a tester or IT professional, you'll want to begin a dialogue about elements which are within your role to address. Let's break these down into the following four areas: functionality, scalability, security and other business risks for cloud computing.
Functional testing
Starting with what doesn't change much, functional testing remains functional testing, regardless of where it's executed.
All the traditional rules still hold. You'll want to perform quick attacks, break down the software into its business logic, execute domain modeling, conduct scenario testing and so on.
What will be different is how you create the environment. Unless you have physical servers you are "porting" to the cloud, you will likely need some sort of test set-up code. This code should be nearly identical to the production code, perhaps with a different domain name, less built-in scalability, or different data.
In other words, someone will need to test the process of building an electric data center, upgrading software within that data center, possibly saving the data locally. Are you that person?
Of course the cloud is supposed to scale up automatically -- but think for a bit about what that might mean. First, you have to notice that your servers are getting loaded, then create new servers for the need, then have a way of balancing requests among your servers, ideally sending traffic from the same client to the same server so that client's data can be cached.
Then there is the database layer, which will likely have the same scalability issues as the Web server.
Plus you still have the classic problems of requirements for scale. No one will know how much the application will need to scale, how quickly it should scale, or exactly how much that should cost. My suggestion remains to conduct an experiment, and, if you can't, use production monitoring to respond to problems as they emerge.
One way to monitor performance is to use to a tool to physically login as a dummy user and time common operations, reporting that information in a database. Alternatively, you might pull those numbers from the server logs. Notice that with cloud computing, the pain point shifts: Instead of the app slowing down, the hosting provider should spool up more servers. (Yes, you'll want to test to make sure that happens.) These new servers likely have an hourly rate, so instead of an increase in system response time, you will see an increase in outgoing cost.
Security and privacy
All the traditional rules about security testing apply here, all those and more. You'll still want to look into login, quick attacks, the security layer, fuzzing and social engineering issues. In addition to classic security concerns, your cloud-based application is likely outside of your data center. It may make some API calls into your data center (through the corporate firewall), or, perhaps, the entire application may exist outside of the firewall. Your next set of concerns are likely about the privacy of customer data, who might have access to that data "in the cloud," and consequences if that data is lost or stolen. This isn't something to minimize; hosted accounts may have backdoor URLs or may be running older versions of system software with known security issues. If your software in the cloud is using system software (like a Web server, a content management system, or a database), you'll probably want to keep up on security for that product and test upgrades and patches.
Business process risk -- where the real action is
Over and over again I hear that cloud is now a "utility grid" and has no risk; that just isn't true. Where I come from, any given rain or snowstorm might just take out our electric and phone lines, for up to days at a time.
It turns out that this happens on the Web, too. Even major and well-trusted cloud providers have experienced major downtime.
Another consideration is the cost of the system. Sure, the cloud may be able to scale to millions of simultaneous users, but that also involves scaling up a huge number of simultaneous virtual machines, each machine billing at perhaps fifty-cents per compute hour. A single week of 1,000 CPUs at fifty-cents an hour costs eighty-four thousand dollars. How, exactly, will your company predict and manage costs in this sort of world? (And we didn't even include bandwidth costs, which would also skyrocket.)
For a third risk, let's consider what happens after the $84,000 charge, or any large charge. Perhaps someone in accounts payable disputes the charge, perhaps something goes wrong in PayPal, perhaps some account is over-drawn. All of these could lead to your cloud vendor not getting paid. It's worth asking what happens if the monthly payment fails to go through, and the smart money is betting that the servers immediately go down -- possibly without any sort of backup.
Speaking of backup, let's talk about data. Using a public utility for computing means the data is no longer stored on your company's computers; instead, it is stored in the cloud. Is that data backed up? How often is it backed up? What would a restore even look like? Can you export that backed up data to re-create and debug problems? For that matter, can the developers get full access to those machines (both production and test) to debug issues?
All of these are important questions. They are reasonable questions; they are the kind of questions that we testers are good at answering.
It turns out by answering these questions, we testers can add a lot of value to the development process, and help make sure that good decisions are made, both for the transition and if to undertake a cloud strategy at all.
Parting thoughts
This isn't a test strategy for cloud-based applications as much as a census of possible risks. Again, the next step is a dialogue. Which of these risks is the company concerned about, how are we addressing them, and which fall on our plate in the testing group?
Take these ideas, throw them in a bin, add a bit of organization, and then you'll have the start of a test strategy for cloud computing.

The answer – not surprisingly – is to program ahead and be as versatile as you can with your bookings and schedules. I was unable to break down all of the expenses to discover out which purchase was the ideal way to go, but I really feel that selecting the package is better than browsing for wonderful airfare bargains and hotel rates. As for your flight I would only add that Icelandair provides free stopovers in Reykjavik for all flights to Europe. Right now, trends appear to indicate that flights from the United States to Europe are least expensive in August (the later the date, the much better). Our internet site is developed in a systematic and user-friendly manner with just 3 easy actions.
Even though it doesn't search price range airlines – sticking quite much to the long haul carriers – take a look at It grabs flights from the airline consolidators like Vayama and It gets some pretty good flight deals — though I nonetheless feel Kayak is the greatest for regularly discovering the cheapest price tag. A excellent trick for securing a very cheap ticket flight is to speak to the travel businesses late in the evening or even the early hours of the morning. We would absolutely enjoy to keep in Paris for 3 nights, however the flight prices are tremendously higher, not the hotel rates.
Head to the YEG Deals Alerts Web page where you can select to be notified by e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, or RSS Feed the moment an incredible travel deal from Edmonton is found. If you happen to be preparing a gap year abroad – or trip over the next 12-months, you can view our pick of the best flight deals this year beneath – beginning from £24.99 to Paris. The courier company rep meets you at the gate when you get off the flight to gather their documents and so forth.
It could come about, even though in basic, flight rates from Bellingham to New York are not considerably more affordable than from Vancouver. You can post it in the YEG Offers Facebook group (click 'Join Group', at the top-correct, when you arrive), exactly where thousands of people from Edmonton are crowd-sourcing the greatest deals, and sharing wonderful travel advice.
The app organizes flights in order from least to most expensive, along with how a lot of seats are accessible for every single selection. If you own a site connected to travel then why not make your reader's stay far more pleasant and add the skyscanner tool to a page on your web site. They will supply specific deals or loss leaders from time to time and if you can be very first in the queue to get them then you may well save oneself thousands. If you're going to go to fewer than a half dozen cities then booking with the spending budget airlines based in India that I've listed above will definitely save you some funds.

Community Asset success
The Town Council's application to have Old Lane car park listed as an Asset of Community Value has been successful. Old Lane is an unmade, unregulated piece of land owned by the Derbyshire Dales District Council. It provides essential off-road parking for residents who live along the Cromford road. This status sees the car park recognised alongside those on North End and West End which are already community assets.
Good news for residents.

Seejou King, a potential Gambia international, has resumed his trial with Danish premier league club OB Odense, Foroyaa Sport can report.
A left sided defender, King returned to Denmark, his country of birth, after spending over four years in Portuguese football.
The 25-year-old first played for Danish top flight side FC Nordsjælland prior to joining Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon's reserves' team in 2011 where he spent four terms.
Having seen chances of breaking into Lisbon's A-team hard to come by, the fullback opted to change club, switching to Desportivo Aves in the second tier.
Injuries have had tolls on the starlet dogging him even at his new club.
The situation led King into returning to Denmark where he's now trying to impress a club so as to be offered a deal. This triggered his trial with top tier outfit OB Odense.
The audition started in April but Seejou opted out of the trial owing to a slight knock before resuming this week.
Seejou's addition could bolster OB's much kamikaze defence as they look for fire power with the new league now fast moving.

Lemon Thyme Harvest
Here's the lemon thyme cut and dried in a basket for a week. At this point I could take a lot of time stripping each stem of leaves to make a pure product ready to sprinkle out of the jar onto food. But do I want to take about an hour to do this?
No! I started and then came to my senses! I shoved the whole mess into a jar. It compressed really nicely. I left the lid off for one more day just in case there was any moisture left. Moisture is a problem at this point. Last year I harvested bay leaves, pressed them flat, and shoved them into a jar and tightly closed it. About a month later when I went to use some I opened the jar to find mold. So, lesson learned, I make sure everything is crispy dry before I close the lid.
So what I've got here is a jar of dried lemon thyme with the stems. To use I simply pull out a pinch and massage it a little between thumb and finger to release all the leaves, then throw the stems into the compost. I used some last night already on baked chicken. A few stems fell onto the chicken and I left it. It doesn't hurt anything to have the stems in there as long as you remove before eating as they are quite twiggy! I like this "lazy-person" method. I have about a year's worth of freshly produced lemon thyme here for very little time and labor. Sweet!

What are the barriers to install Monitoring-Based Commissioning?
The Market
We all know the cost of our utilities are not going down, we all want to reduce our consumption and improve the occupants comfort as well as improve our maintenance operations. Many corporations have long term sustainability goals to reduce their carbon footprint, energy usage, GHG (Green House Gas) or any other category they want to define.
One example, is Dell/EMC's sustainability goal to "Reduce global absolute GHG emissions, Scopes 1 and 2 (MTCO2e) market-based, by 40% from a FY11 baseline" (GHG Emission -29% is generated from Electricity and 27% from Transportation – Source – EPA – https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions.
Many, like Dell/EMC, have started their journey with LED lighting retrofits, installing variable speed drives, renewable energy like solar panels; as well as, many other low hanging fruit projects. Those changes have made great strides in attaining net zero– but how do they make sure they get all the way to their goals and maintain it?
What are the barriers for these companies? Here is what I hear:
Are acronyms and technology terms confusing? BAS, BIM, EMS, BIS, BEMS, RTEM, EMIS, FDD
Many vendors and industry analyst are trying to establish new terms to identify this market for Monitoring and Analyzing the performance of Buildings and their Equipment. This tends to confuse the buyer. Is it an Energy Management System – which is just data collection from the meters with trending and dashboards? It is a Building Information System that includes data collection and integrates controls of HVAC and Lighting? Is it a demand management system?
The Smart Energy Analytics Org defines an all-encompassing category of EMIS – "Energy Management and Information Systems are the broad and rapidly evolving family of tools that monitor, analyze, and control building energy use and system performance. These technologies include benchmarking and utility bill tracking software, energy information systems (EIS), building automation systems, fault detection and diagnostic tools, and automated system optimization software."
Do MBCx Systems provide real ROI?
Monitoring Based Commissioning Systems (MBCx) have been around for many years and early on there was a benchmarking study done by Lawrence Berkley Lab in 2009. Quoted from Evan Mills report "Median energy cost savings were $0.25/sf-year, for a median simple payback time of 2.5 years. Significant and cost-effective energy savings were thus obtained. The greatest absolute energy savings and shortest payback times were achieved in laboratory-type facilities." They also determined from that same report regarding the costs – "We observed a range of normalized costs from $0.37 to 1.62/sf, with a median value of $1.00/sf for buildings that implemented MBCx projects" and that was back in 2009. Now with costs of these Cloud-Based Solutions like FacilityConneX it ranges from $0.10/sf to $0.50/sf which considerably improves the ROI to less than 1 year in many cases.
Results are REAL – from the Lawrence Berkeley Report by Evan Mills shows:
- "From these interventions flowed significant and highly cost-effective energy savings For the MBCx cohort, source energy savings of 22 kBTU/sf-year (10%) were achieved, with a range of 2% to 25%. Median electricity savings were 1.9 kWh/sf-year (9%), with a range of 1% to 17%. Peak electrical demand savings were 0.2 W/sf-year (4%), with a range of 3% to 11%."
Industry Analyst Predict Large Growth in this Market Space
- According to Navigant Research, the global market for energy efficient building technologies is expected to reach $227.4 billion in 2017 and grow to nearly $360.6 billion in 2026. See their report – https://www.navigantresearch.com/research/energy-efficient-buildings-global-outlook
So How Can Facility, Sustainability, Energy Managers get prepared and get started?
The journey will have many steps, but simply:
- Data Gathering – Documentation – Yes, the most difficult part sometimes is to have the proper documentation on your operational sequences (how it was designed to work), as-builts, equipment, BMS control sequences and the tag listing of all the points in the systems with their descriptions. If you have all this, not only can you get better pricing, but the startup and commissioning is reduced significantly. Work with your Control Systems Vendor to make sure you have their partnership in this and it will go smooth.
- Connecting – IT – Collaborate with IT because they can be your friend in this project, if not they can be a road block to getting the installation and security set properly. Having IT involved from the beginning also helps with a smooth start up as well as supporting the technology.
- Make sure the vendor can connect to all your control systems – not just your main BMS – but your electric or water meters, or boiler or chiller control systems – that may be on a separate PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The vendor will need to have the ability to connect and collect that data.
- Collecting other pertinent information; such as, occupancy schedules (which may be in an Excel spreadsheet file (.xls or .csv) will be helpful for correlating data to occupant requirements.
- Also, consider if there is manual data entry that is relevant in the analysis of your building's energy use or if data needs to be pushed to the field; such as, standard operating procedures, regulatory data collection, etc.
- Collecting – How long will you need to keep the data you are collecting – 1 year – 5 years? This will also determine additional costs but discuss this upfront and be clear. What type of granularity will you need – 1 sec, 30 sec, 15 min? Can this be done and what will that cost? What advantage will that have for me to have that history?
- Mapping – Now that you have all the tags being collected from your equipment, they need to be mapped to a model of your equipment and buildings. Discuss and strategically map this out for the easiest way for Maintenance and Operations to understand when navigating the system. This will drive how the analytics and alarms work in your system (i.e. by building, by floor, by tenant, by department, etc.).
- Validating – The results of the visualization and analytics will need to be validated by your team to verify that the results are not giving false positives. Sensors and equipment in the beginning are going to need to be calibrated because the analytics will be using this data to provide results. This will take time and your team will need to be very involved to make sure this is accurate. You may need to add more sensors to help the analytics improve over time and the payback on that is usually very quick.
- Analyzing – Be Educated on the solutions – Industry Leading Analytics that identify the root cause of the problem and the faults that are causing system problems is critical to the long-term success of the project. The right analytics can point your operations and maintenance team to the equipment to be fixed or the control sequence that needs tweaking and this optimizes the energy savings and improves the asset life expectancy. Don't feel you need to enable all the analytics at first – most likely you will not have all the digital sensors in place, but plan to install them over the next few years. It is not required to have all equipment with sensors to realize value from the system, but it will help improve the ROI of the system as equipment is more thoroughly instrumented.
- Consulting – Each month, review the dashboards and analytic results with your customer experience engineer that is very familiar with your facility. Provide feedback, come prepared to each meeting with repairs that have been done and engage in the process. This will help change your culture to be more proactive, preventative and predictive.
This process begins the maintenance and capital planning cycles of measure, analyze, implement/repair, and plan. The Monitoring-Based Commissioning system will continue to prioritize faults and provide actionable insight to fix the costliest repairs, which will improve the efficiency of your operations and maintenance. You will also have the ability to provide justification to both ownership and the utilities for incentives and rebates. In turn, that will allow you to improve the life of your assets, lower your energy costs and help you achieve your GHG and Sustainability Goals.

Last Supper: Picnic in Brande
Hi all,
Time has passed so quickly since we started the program in September and this week some IBTs, in Brande, are starting to go on vacation and then to their rotations in different cities: Beijing, Amsterdam, Istanbul, Shanghai and more… Last weekend was the last week where all the IBTs from Brande where all together and we wanted to say goodbye to each other with a full day of fun: A picnic in Brande.
In this time of the year, Brande is amazing. It gets dark around 23.00, the flowers are blooming and it's green everywhere. What could have been better than a barbecue outside, sunbathing, drinking beer and enjoying the weather?
The IBTs become your family. You live all together in the same building, you enter each other's houses without even knocking the door, borrowing lemon, sauce or whatever you need without asking, sharing your problems, happiness; celebrating birthdays and Christmas. I think this is one of the best parts of being an IBT. I recommend you to apply to the program even only for the experience.
I am also leaving for vacation in a week, my next post will be from Amsterdam.
Until then, have a great summer!

Four More Snowmen Blocks
I haven't had much time to sew this week, but I do have another four of the log cabin snowmen blocks to show you.
My original plan was to use just the almost-solid blenders on the front of the quilt, and have a very graphic, more modern look. The white snowflake fabric in the block above was intended for the back. However, once I started cutting the strips for the blocks I realized that I didn't have enough for the top, and I had to "borrow" from the back.
That's what I get for buying the fabric before I finalize the design! But, I'm actually quite pleased with the way it looks, I think it adds a little sparkle to the quilt.
I hope I still have enough fabric for the back!

Between the new situation with comment notifications, and my ongoing shoulder issue, I probably won't be able to reply to comments. But, I sincerely appreciate every one! Thanks so much for your visit!

Safety Exit
If financial abuse were easy to spot, it'd be easy to stop.
On one day in 2017, nearly 11,500 requests for emergency shelter, child care and other services went unanswered because domestic violence programs across the country lacked the resources they need. Purple Purse aims to bridge this gap by assisting nonprofits in two ways: online fundraising platform and a robust grant program.
competed in 2018
raising funds since 2014
Any 501(c)(3) public charity registered to fundraise (where required) that serves domestic violence survivors with financial empowerment services may apply to participate. Application for the Challenge opens in Spring each year. Interested nonprofits should complete this form.
Nonprofits come together in a race to raise funds for their respective organizations. Those that raise the most earn cash prizes to further their organization's efforts.
Purple Purse offers grants by invitation only to National Network to End Domestic Violence state coalitions serving victims of domestic violence and financial abuse. Offered each year, this initiative helps support nonprofits at the grassroots level.
Purple Purse does not provide direct help or financial resources to those experiencing domestic violence. This site is not a hotline and is not staffed 24/7. If you are in danger, please call 911. If you are in need of immediate response or local referrals, call a local hotline or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or TTY 1-800-787-3224.
The National Network to End Domestic Violence has coalitions in every state that can help people find shelter, financial guidance and local support.

hear me buzz with my clippers! bzzzzzz! seriously, i am so lucky to have a man who doesn't freak out when i start cracking up while cutting his hair! if i was cutting a girls hair and i started laughing my ass off, she would freak out! cause she would know that i just did something momumentally screwed up to her luscious locks. you know, cut off 1 foot instead of inch. she'd probably cry at the sound of my, "OH SHIT!"... lord knows i would. but not boyfriend. whenever i mutter, "uh oh" while i'm cutting his hair- he just goes, "what? what'd you do?" all nice and calm. and then the laughter starts. mine that is. the kind that won't stop because i just cut his hair so freaking short on accident. "oops, i used the triple 0, instead of the 2. and is the triple 0 worse than the regular 0???" and i'm just laughing hysterically because he now has no hair and i've gone way too far up on his head to try to fix it! there's nothing i can do but cut his whole head this way! but does he care? no! he could give a shit! which makes me laugh even more, cause no matter how badly i screw up his hair, he never cares.
"haven't you learned by now with me?"
"learned what?"
"that my hair grows back."

This is actually a reaaaaally good idea tbh...
Instagram are introducing "blurred photos" to their newsfeed, and it's probably the best update the've made in a while!
The social media app will now add a blurred filter over photo that have been deemed "sensitive" or "explicit" by other users/the instagram community.
The reason behind blurring particular photos is to make the app a safer place for everyone.
But what does Instagram deem as "sensitive" though?
Well according to The Verge, it means content that shows violence or sexually explicit posts.
"Examples include animal rights groups that share content to expose animal testing conditions or animal abuse, or content that raises awareness of humanitarian crises around the world (famine, impact of war on local communities)," Instagram told the site.
The blur will also be accompanied by a message saying the content has been reported as offensive or disturbing, but if you still want to see the post all you have to do is tap it to see the content hidden behind the blur.
"This change means you are less likely to have surprising or unwanted experiences in the app."

Too small!
I love the fabric and the matching dress, but this head wrap is much too small to do anything other than the bow shown on the model. If you want a real wrap, this is not the product for you!

Separated again!!!! But, unlike yesterday, we at least all had important reasons to part ways. Grace and Michael, the A-Team, had a critically important meeting with both the District Medical Officer (DMO) and the Makeni Hospital Superintendent. While both meetings were crucial for maintaining (actually, just earning) the support of the Ministry of Health for our project, each had a distinct purpose. The former was required to open up doors within the governmental medical establishment. If the DMO signed off on our project it would be the equivalent of possessing the Roman Imperial Standard. The latter was then needed to gain access to the Makeni Regional Hospital, a location of crucial importance to our story.
To nobody's surprise, the meetings proved to be dumbfoundingly successful! Along with securing the DMO's blessing and the Superintendent's permission to film for two whole days at the regional hospital, Grace and Michael also managed to get taped interviews with both officials! We had been needing to get the voice of these institutional figures for some time and finally had it in hand.
Meanwhile, Jessica and I were on our way to Freetown. Our objective, like Grace and Michael's, was also twofold; we needed to get an interview from the Aberdeen Women's Center and Bernadette Udo. First, we went to Aberdeen and upon arrival were quickly shepareded into an office with the hospital's head to discuss our project and how we could mutually benefit from getting an interview. We continued talking to him along with a couple of doctors, nurses, and technicians who cycled in throughout the meeting. Eventually, we secured an interview from a nurse named Margaret Bangura.
Margaret's interview went incredibly well for us. Since we had already talked about everything we wanted to ask about in the aforementioned meeting we already knew what to ask her. This resulted, unsurprisingly, to us getting a ton of soundbites and clips to questions we previously had no answers for. Additionally, she represented an entirely new perspective, that being one of a capital based, private medical worker. A perspective we had previously been unable to find representation for.
The second and final notable occurrence for our trip was the highly anticipated Bernadette Udo interview at the World Hope International National Headquarters. Grace and I had attempted to talk with Bernadette over video chat during the summer, and while she clearly had so much to offer us, the connection was poor and we could barely hear anything. This time though, with full camera batteries and empty SD cards, we were ready to soak up whatever knowledge she had to impart on us. And ohhhhhhhhhhh boy, did she have knowledge! In our longer interview yet, lasting over an hour, Bernadette talked about every topic imaginable. From classics like "why women suffer from maternal mortality and what causes the issues?" to the more taboo topic of FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), she was ready to discuss anything we through at her.
On both fronts this day was an unwavering success! We have once again hit our rhythm and are ready for whatever this project throws at us! Here's to another impact filled day tomorrow!
(Also, I was too lazy to fit it into the actual post but omg the restaurant Khanjan took us to for lunch was so damn good!!!! We ate MEAT for the first time in ages! If any of yall go I highly recommend the chicken burger!)

Light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier (19-1 record in MMA) might have his highly anticipated rematch against Jon Jones on 29 July according to UFC president Dana White.
Jones (22-1 record in MMA) is currently serving a one year suspension after testing positive for estrogen blockers last summer, with his return pinned for the second week of July.
Following Cormier's successful title defense against Anthony "Rumble" Johnson at UFC 210, there has been speculation as to who the champion will fight against next.
Jones, having inflicted Cormier's only loss in January 2015, is the ideal choice. However, the duo have been booked for a rematch twice since their first meeting with the bout not coming to fruition both times.
With Jones also having last fought in April 2016, a tune-up fight makes sense for the youngest UFC champion in history. Meanwhile Jimi Manuwa (17-2 record in MMA) believes he should have a shot at "DC" after defeating Corey Anderson at UFC London, with the two going back and forth on Twitter.
White however, has provided some clarity on the situation, stating that if Jones is ready to fight, the much awaited rematch could take place as soon as UFC 214.
"Cormier is available to fight on July 8, but that time-frame doesn't work for Jon Jones," White said, as quoted on ESPN. "Cormier already told me he's willing to fight either Jones or (Jimi) Manuwa."
"If Jon Jones is ready to fight (by UFC 214) on July 29, we'll see the Jones versus Cormier rematch finally."
If it turns out that Jones will not be ready by then, it may be the case that Cormier will defend his title against Londoner instead.
"Jimi wants Cormier," White added. "They got into it at UFC 210 [earlier this month] and Jimi told me he's never been talked to like that before. We'll see how this plays out."

Topic Page: Seaborg, Glenn (1912 - 1999)
US nuclear chemist. He shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1951 with his co-worker Edwin McMillan for the discovery of plutonium and research on the transuranic elements.
All transuranic elements are radioactive and none occurs to any appreciable extent in nature; they are synthesized by transmutation reactions. Seaborg was involved in the identification of plutonium (atomic number 94) in 1940, americium (95) in 1944–45, curium (96) in 1944, berkelium (97) in 1949, californium (98) in 1950, einsteinium (99) in 1952, fermium (100) in 1952, mendelevium (101) in 1955, and nobelium (102) in 1958.
Seaborg was born in Ishpeming, Michigan, and studied at the University of California. During part of World War II he was at the metallurgical laboratory at Chicago University, where much of the early work on the atomic bomb was carried out. He was professor of chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley 1945–61, and chair of the Atomic Energy Commission 1961–71, encouraging the rapid growth of the US nuclear-power industry. For his leadership in the development of nuclear chemistry and atomic energy, he received the 1959 Enrico Fermi award. In 1971 he returned to academic life at Berkeley. He received the Priesley Medal of the American Chemical Society (1979), the Henry De Wolf Smyth Award of the American Nuclear Society (1982), and the Actinide Award (1984). In 1997 element 106 was officially named seaborgium, the first time an element had been named after a living person.

In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love, sex, beauty, and fertility. She was the Roman counterpart to the Greek Aphrodite. However, Roman Venus had many abilities beyond the Greek Aphrodite; she was a goddess of victory, fertility, and even prostitution. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Aphrodite was born of the foam from the sea after Saturn (Greek Cronus) castrated his father Uranus (Ouranus) and his blood fell to the sea. This latter explanation appears to be more a popular theory due to the countless artworks depicting Venus rising from the sea in a clam.
