Countries by Area (Andorra)
Andorra, officially the Principality of Andorra, also called the Principality of the Valleys of Andorra, is a landlocked microstate in Southwestern Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France.
It is the sixth smallest nation in Europe, having an area of 468 km2 and an estimated population of 85,000 in 2012. Its capital, Andorra la Vella, is the highest capital city in Europe, at an elevation of 1,023 metres above sea level. The official language is Catalan, although Spanish, Portuguese, and French are also commonly spoken.
The Principality was formed in 1278. The role of monarch is exercised jointly by the two co-princes, the Catalan Bishop of Urgell and the President of France (the whole state is a part of the Diocese of Urgell).
Andorra is a prosperous country mainly because of its tourism industry, which services an estimated 10 million visitors annually, and also because of its status as a tax haven. It is not a member of the European Union, but the euro is the de facto currency. The people of Andorra have the 4th highest human life expectancy in the world — 82 years at birth.
Due to its location in the eastern Pyrenees mountain range, Andorra consists predominantly of rugged mountains, the highest being the Coma Pedrosa at 2,942 metres, and the average elevation of Andorra is 1,996 metres. These are dissected by three narrow valleys in a Y shape that combine into one as the main stream, the Gran Valira river, leaves the country for Spain (at Andorra's lowest point of 840 m).
Andorra has an alpine climate and continental climate. Its higher elevation means there is, on average, more snow in winter, lower humidity, and it is slightly cooler in summer. There are, on average, 300 days per year of sunshine.

Katy Perry Tour Coming to Des Moines
DES MOINES, Iowa – Pop star Katy Perry is coming back to Iowa to perform.
Des Moines has been slated for a stop on the singer's latest tour, Witness, in December. Perry will play a show at Wells Fargo Arena on December 2nd.
Tickets go on sale May 22nd for the concert.
The "Fireworks" and "Teenage Dream" artist was last in Des Moines in October of 2015 when she performed at a rally for then presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Her experience in Iowa made such an impression that when it came time for her to debut "Chained to the Rhythm" in February, she chose Des Moines as part of the viral campaign. A disco ball MP3 player was chained to the "Nomad" sculpture at the Pappajohn Sculpture Park.

I would just like to say that I am NOT a huge fan of interruptions. I am much more of the power through it, get it done, then reward yourself for a job well done. If only life shared my theory.
And since it doesn't it decided to let me know in an abundantly clear manner.
I'm not doing too awesome readers and my "make it work," "buckle down", "It's not that bad" (the heck it is) "power through it," "just try this," methods aren't working. My health has been interrupted and while I spent last week pissed off about this interruption, I'm starting to see it as what at some point I will totally refer to as an "Aha" moment, the moment that saved my life, the perfectly tailor made just for Ahyana Jenise King kick in the bottom that I needed but never ever wanted.
The docs and I agreed some downtime was in order and by down time, that not only includes time away from my 9-5, but includes blogging for a bit. Don't worry, I will absolutely keep writing. I can't not write. It's such a huge part of who I am, but writing as a blogger needs to pause, as does a whole lot of other things.
I've never wanted to be the blogger who blogs inconsistently. I've also never wanted to be the blogger who only shares how I've overcome, solved, fixed, or completed something and how you can too. I value consistency and transparency. So I will offer my consistence in being transparent. I will tell you that things are hard, needing to take a real break (not a long weekend to SF, LA, or back east), needing to be brutally honest about some really big decisions, and having some of the hardest conversations I've had in a long time absolutely SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
But I will also say this, I am hopeful. I am tired, teary eyed, still a little pissed, but incredibly hopeful. It is this hope that I am confident will keep me afloat in the coming weeks, will put things in proper perspective, will help me make courageous decision that reflect my purpose in life and will roll out the red carpet that I will absolutely strut down to get towards the life that was perfectly tailored for Ahyana Jenise King.

In today's installment of the "Tidbit", I am going to keep this short and sweet, and not like I do when I say that and then go on ad nauseum for pages on end. This one will be short … ish 😊. Today I am inviting all of you to please come and visit me at booth 434 in Denver next week. As well, I have to tell you, BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!!! And when I say big things, I mean BIG THINGS. Although I will be at the expo next week and may not have a chance to post here (although I might, but really, with all the fun and frivolity that occurs at the expo it is doubtful), it is my anticipation that upon my return I am going to have some seriously amazing news for all of you here on the forums. With that said, I will be on hiatus for a week or two as I will be out of the country for a period. Even superhero's such as I, InsuranceMan 2.0, need the occasional break.

I had two non-load bearing interior walls built. The wiring is installed, hanging out of holes, but not connected on either end. Access is good, as all wires run from the ground floor into the basement.
I emailed "Ross Monk" to see their availability.
The first reply was a short call demanding to sign some forms, before even looking at the job. I'd guess it wasn't Ross Monk, but some third party paid service
What I got was a 5,500 word "Term of Trade", in 5 point Arial narrow font (and a work authorization form).
Even using Microsoft Word at 200%, the Term of Trades is barely readable.
When I reformatted to 11 points, it was 13 pages long.
Three companies are mentioned in the signature: Key Electrical, CEDS, Ross Monk. The document itself appears to originate from a fourth company Electrotech, which I guess is the accounting firm (???).
It's copyrighted by "EC Credit Control 1999", which is a debt collection company.
I googled "EC Credit Control", and found this thread
Had a number of calls from EC Credit Control sales rep trying to meet with me in Melbourne. They dont stop calling, then start using threatening tones when I tell them I am not interested.
Did some research on EC CREDIT control, a NZ based company, seems they are trying to sell Term of Trade document in Aust for thousands of dollars, this is a scam as they are not a legal firm and are selling a generic document.
EC Credit Control have been in trouble with ACCC, ASIC and their Sales Director has a criminal history in NZ with a previous NZ colection company.
Go to a Lawyer for legal advice stay clear of this high pressure sales business!!
They wish me to pay one of their clients, Premier Publishing for pathetic service I have naturally refused to pay a extornate amount for 2 bad photos. It seems having read EC credit terms of trade used by Premier Publishing I have no right of refusal. Might let the court decide hopefully they are a higher power than the self proclaiming EC Credit Control and their minion Premier Publishing. Keep a sharp eye out for these guys.
Needless to say I emailed "I'll use someone else"

LONDON — The British government said on Tuesday that it had raised 2.1 billion pounds, or about $3.3 billion, in the first sale of part of its stake in the Royal Bank of Scotland.
The share sale is an important milestone as the British government seeks to cut its ownership of R.B.S. and the Lloyds Banking Group, which both received large bailouts during the financial crisis.
In a news release, U.K. Financial Investments, which oversees the government's holdings in R.B.S. and the Lloyds Banking Group, said that it had sold a 5.4 percent stake in R.B.S. at 330 pence a share in a private placing to institutional investors.
That is below the bank's closing price of 337.50 pence a share on Monday, and well below the price the government paid when R.B.S. received a bailout of £45 billion in 2008.
The government has said it hopes that returning more of the bank's shares to private hands will improve the marketability of its remaining holdings in the lender. After the sale, the government has a stake of about 72.9 percent in R.B.S.
George Osborne, the chancellor of the Exchequer, said in June that it was time to begin reducing the government's holdings in R.B.S., even if it had to do so at a loss. He had said in a speech in June that he believed the British state would ultimately make a profit from the bank bailouts.
The investment bank Rothschild, which is advising the British government, estimated in a report in June that the government could eventually recoup £14.3 billion more than what it spent to bail out lenders, including Northern Rock, through repayments and other stock and asset sales, whose values fluctuate.
The report noted that the government had estimated in 2008 that it could lose £20 billion to £50 billion from those bailouts.
U.K. Financial Investments had announced plans to proceed with the sale of part of the stake on Monday.
"This is an important first step in returning the bank to private ownership, which is the right thing to do for the taxpayer and for British businesses," Mr. Osborne said in a news release on Tuesday. "It will promote financial stability, lead to a more competitive banking sector and support the interests of the wider economy."
He continued, "Now is the time for R.B.S. to rebuild itself as a commercial bank, no longer reliant on the state, but serving the working people of Britain."
Mr. Osborne said the proceeds from the sale would be used to pay down the national debt.
Shares of R.B.S. were down 0.5 percent in midday trading in London on Tuesday.
The government has had an easier time reducing its stake in Lloyds in recent years, as the lender's profitability has improved. The government had a stake as large as 40 percent in Lloyds after extending a bailout of £17 billion to the lender in 2008.
The British government has since reduced its stake in Lloyds to just under 14 percent and has recovered about £13.5 billion of the bailout money given to Lloyds.
The turnaround at R.B.S. has been slower than the government had hoped. In February, the bank, which is based in Edinburgh, reported its seventh consecutive annual loss and announced a major reshaping of its business, including the dismantling of its global investment bank.
The lender has announced its intentions to become a much smaller, British-focused retail and corporate bank.
Last week, R.B.S. announced its results for the second quarter, with profit up 27 percent compared with the same period a year earlier, ahead of analysts' expectations.
The bank said, however, that it was not likely to return capital to investors through share buybacks and dividends before the first quarter of 2017, and it again recorded a large restructuring charge tied to its overhaul.
"I'm pleased the government has started to sell down its stake," Ross McEwan, the R.B.S. chief executive, said in a statement on Tuesday. "It's an important moment and reflects the progress we are making to become a stronger, simpler and fairer bank."
"There is more work to be done," he added, "but we're determined to build a bank the country can be proud of."
Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and UBS coordinated the R.B.S. offering.

A recent research effort demonstrated through what they call "Phonotactic Reconstruction", the ability to "decipher" the encapsulation/encryption process employed by a substantial amount of VOIP providers – including Skype. The research is pretty clear cut, and highlights that – 1. It is within means to eavesdrop on these conversations, and 2. Security through obscurity still does not hold water.
The second point is that which has become more important as I work with global organizations and grow to understand the complexities that exist within the co-mingling of corporate-consumer system environments (more on that in the future). VOIP is complex … it is a classic example of security balanced with a technology application (enough security but not too much that creates voice distortions). Unfortunately, if the calls can be eavesdropped than the security is insufficient. This is significant given the enormous usage of this technology that occurs within most global corporations (Skype alone has about 124 million active monthly users with 560 registered). Beyond eavesdropping there also exists the ability to leverage these "voip environments" to break into other parts of the business.
This raises the question – how do organization's be agile and aggressive in leveraging these beneficial technologies, safely. The simple answer is that as technology is acquired a risk assessment is absolutely necessary, but as a technology evolves future risk assessments are paramount. The evolution is what is critical here – Skype, Iphone/App-stores, Blackberry devices, etc … these all were introduced with unknown trajectories and without obvious benefits or risks. It is THIS fact of unknowing and the shifting of what is known that creates the need to mature how businesses embrace, continue to embrace, and manage (yes by manage… I include secure) all these technologies. The need here goes beyond simple technical specifications, but a balance of "risk" and "security". Meaning the following should be, at least, considered:
- How dependent is the business on the technology .. what are our backup plans
- What type of information will traverse this technology and who will depend upon it? – and therefore who are the stakeholders / inputs for discerning what is critical –> this usually leads to conducting an assignment to owners and assets (it is only then can the risk be accepted let alone thought through properly)
- As the owner and information alignment exercise will show – this is a point in time exercise … future visits are needed to learn if the owner sees additional risk, or sees the risk universe shift completely
- What are the security safeguards – are they proven or new-fandangled? (new is 100% always more risky and should initiate a broader consideration of risk)
- What encryption is being used .. and is it being used completely and in the right places? (If home music stream devices can employ AES-256, enterprise products can too)
Much more time can be spent on risk assessments (I would suggest investing time to look at NIST 800-30 or Octave as a starting point… ISO 2700X is good too, but not free). The key takeaway is challenge 'complexity' as a security and assurance control – it is neither. In the world of PCI, the VOIP guidance / call center / and PCI DSS 2.0 provide insight – simplifying the language, yes encryption of the activity is required.

The Endy Mattress Review
The top best-selling mattresses in the business are the memory foam models. Memory foam is the choice of many consumers because of its capability to conform to the user's body, allow for better support and give a relaxing sleep. Many people reported less tossing and turning and discomfort while using memory foam mattresses.
However, there are so many memory foam mattresses available in the market right now and choosing the right one can be difficult. Thankfully we have reviews that we can rely on for info. This review focuses on the features, advantages and disadvantages of the Endy Mattress.
- Memory foam-type mattress
- Comfort layer is made with a layer of 3 PCF gel memory foam on top and a layer of 1.6 PCF ultra-dense polyfoam at the bottom
- Support core is made with 1.8 PCF ultra-dense polyfoam
- Comes with quilted cover constructed from stretch knit polyester material
- Has a height of 10"
- Has thickness of 10"
The Endy Mattress is exclusively manufactured in Toronto, Canada and it is made with premium materials sourced from the US. It is composed of 3 layers of support foam, transition foam and quality gel memory foam.
It has a quilted cover which has a thick dimension to add to the supple and plush feel of the mattress. It is a medium in the firmness range and it provides excellent support. Other than that, the mattress includes some good edge support as well.
The mattress makes use of quality gel memory foam to make sleeping on it cool and comfortable fused with a solid, fast-response transition foam layer situated in the center to prevent a sinking feeling which is a common issue with memory foam mattresses.
The cover is thicker compared to other covers on similar products. It comes with air holes which let heat escape and disburse, therefore maintaining the coolness of the mattress. It is suggested for beds that have slatted frames, box springs, the platform kind, or placed directly on the floor. It will work well with frames that come with slats that are no further 2 inches apart from each other so it can correctly support the mattress.
The product comes with great edge support because of the solid materials it is made of. Users will not feel like they are falling off of their beds while sleeping or lying on it. It is a comfortable place to lie on and relax. You will not sink down into the mattress and instead, it provides a rather buoyant feeling which makes resting and sleeping on it a breeze.
While it will accommodate sleepers of all types, it will largely benefit individuals who often sleep on their sides; due to the plusher design of the mattress, it lets side sleepers depress into the surface, allowing the bed to further conform to the natural curves of the user's body.
This is also recommended for consumers who want to take their time testing the product—the company allows a 100-night provisional or trial period for it. It is also good for people who take a while to completely familiarize themselves with a new mattress.
The lengthy trial period that the company offers gives consumers sufficient time to examine the product well and guarantee that they are sleeping comfortably on it before they decide whether they want to keep the product. If the buyer is not satisfied with the product after the 100-day period, they can return it to the company for a complete refund.
The unit is also good for people who want a cooler mattress to rest on. Due to the gel-fused top later of the mattress, it maintains its cool temperature at all times for better sleeping at night, especially during the hottest season of the year.
This is also a great mattress for couples. The product has topnotch motion isolation so users will not feel each and every movement that their companion makes in bed while sleeping.
One of the disadvantages of this product is that it may not feel right for stomach sleepers. Stomach sleepers need a mattress that is lower on the firmness scale. It is not the best fit for users who are after a very firm mattress.
The Endy Mattress is an excellent memory foam type mattress for people who want comfort and a cooler bed to lie on. It has enough support that can accommodate the needs of side sleepers. It comes with cooling gel within the memory foam to maintain optimal coolness.
This is great for individuals who want a soft and plush bed that conforms to the natural curves of the body. Other than that, the product also comes with a great 100-night trial period, which is pretty extensive. For consumers who want a luxurious bed that won't sink easily, this is something you need to check out.


text: Too Soon? Think Again Now is the Time for Air Conditioner Service in Orange Posted September 2, 2015 Even though the autumnal equinox hasn't brought about the official start of fall and the end of summer, now is the time to start considering air conditioner service. Sure, you won't turn your thermostat to the 'heat' setting in Orange, but why wait for your air conditioner to stop working when it could have been stopped with basic air conditioner service? The upcoming cooler weather means that you'll slowly begin depending on your system less and less, leaving it sitting idle for months on end. While a lot of homeowners in Orange expect no hiccups, that's not always realistic. not hard to get stuck in the thought that your air conditioner kept you comfortable without any concerns last year, but that doesn't automatically mean you'll have the same luck this year. By now you're probably wondering – "So why is air conditioner service a must?" Setting up annual air conditioner service can help you evade a number of headaches that might arise, like: A voided warranty due to unsuitable maintenance Larger air conditioner problems that could be building up, potentially meaning air conditioner replacement Reduced efficiency because your air conditioner is running harder than it has to Of course, there are more than just these three problems that can come up, but the last thing you want to happen is to miss your annual air conditioner service and have it go out on you if the Orange weather starts getting a little dicey. The fact is that your air conditioner should be maintained like a car. There are routine maintenance needs that keep things working smoothly and at their greatest, which in turn can help prolong the lifespanof the equipment. If you'd like to find out what the team at Mighty Ducts does for your air conditioner when you set up air conditioner service, give us a call at 714-464-3376 or set up an appointment online through our online scheduler.

70 years after the infamous pogrom against Jewish Holocaust survivors in Kielce/Poland, on July 3rd 2016, a "March of Life for Reconciliation" took place with 400 participants from all over Poland. Among them were the Israeli ambassador Ana Azaria and numerous descendants of survivors of the pogrom, who came over from Israel.
On the eve of the March, the Holocaust scholar Professor Dr. Gideon Greif made a speech about the history of the Kielce pogrom. He elucidated on the 42 Jews who had just escaped the horror of the Holocaust, only to be brutally slain with stones thrown by a mob of citizens from Kielce; this mob was supported by the military and authorities. It was triggered by the rumor of a ritual murder of an eight-year-old boy. The latent anti-Semitism in the population was the basis for the violent eruption that followed.
Jobst Bittner, founder of the March of Life, warned at the launch event in the light of this terrible history not to remain silent in present times, when old anti-Semitic prejudices are revived again - as was shown by the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, who told the European Parliament about his suspicions that Israeli rabbis have been poisoning water delivered to the Arab population. Thus he evoked the medieval stereotype of the Jewish well poisoners - MEPs the European Parliament accepted the statement without hesitation and acknowledged the speech of Abbas with standing ovations.
The daughter of one survivor of the massacre of Kielce reported about the traumatic consequences of what happened to her own family after the Holocaust - her mother told her again and again: "My parents were lucky to have been killed in the gas chambers of Auschwitz - this spared them experiencing the Kielce Pogrom." Edward Czwierz, organizer of the March and March of Life Coordinator in Poland, reacted to this very personal report and asked for forgiveness, as a citizen from Kielce and descendant of the generation which had committed the pogrom. In accordance with the Bible passage from Isaiah 60 verse 14, twelve Kielce citizens bowed before the Israeli delegation and handed them white roses. With this declaration they expressed that they want to take responsibility for Polish anti-Semitism in the past and that they will not remain silent regarding modern anti-Semitism.
The opening event was held at the premises of a free-church, "Wieczernik" church, in a former industrial complex - 70 years ago this was the Ludwikow Steel Factory, from which a mob of workers went to participate in the pogrom. Instead of a "death march" this was the starting point for the March of Life. In the inner city, the participants joined the commemorative events hosted by the Jan-Karski-Society which took place at the Ghetto Memorial, on the historic site of the pogrom and at the Jewish cemetery.
The day ended with a "Festival of Life" in the evening, a hopeful conclusion for the event. Jewish dance and music brought to expression that Jewish life is once again welcome in Kielce.

Shohei Ohtani Could Return To Mound In September
1 year agoUpdating a previous report, Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) was able to play catch from 60 feet on Thursday after being cleared to throw by Dr. Steve Yoon. Ohtani hasn't pitched since June 6 as he has battled a UCL injury. While there's still a chance Ohtani undergoes Tommy John surgery, there's also a possibility that with rest and rehab, he'll be able to pitch again in September. In his rookie season, Ohtani has pitched to a 4-1 record with a 3.10 ERA and a 61/20 K/BB ratio. Ohtani will continue to DH for the rest of the season and still needs to be owned in all leagues. There's now subdued optimism that he'll be able to return to the mound, however, it wouldn't come until the last month of the regular season. He seems to be in the right direction, but Ohtani still has no set timetable to start pitching again.

The"A"in Culture: A Toolbox to DrivePositive Food Safety Behaviors
Ensuring the safety of food products for con- sumers is a key goal of a food safety culture, and food companies are increasingly chal- lenged to manage a robust food safety culture
that consistently delivers safe food.
Getting things wrong can have devastating
effects not only on the business but also on
consumers and society. Every day, new cases
seem to be emerging.
Consider food recalls as a measure of food safety. In datapublished by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ex-amining the root cause of food recalls,1 about 26 percent offood recalls were the result of improperly following StandardOperating Procedures (SOPs), and 32 percent were caused byinadequate training. More recently, a global food safety train-ing survey found that 67 percent of food safety respondentsagreed that "Despite our efforts, we still have employees notfollowing our food safety program on the plant floor." Theextent to which all employees internalize andapply consistent food safety behaviors is influ-enced by their own cultures, attitudes, valuesand beliefs, and training effectiveness, as wellas those of their peers and their business. 2These factors are examples that fit into whatis called the ABC model, 3 which stands for"antecedent, behavior, consequence" (Figure1). It is a simple and powerful model when trying to under-stand and change behaviors, and it is a useful tool that canbe used to strengthen an organization's food safety culture.Ultimately, managing behaviors within the workplace willreinforce and ensure the safety of the food being grown, trans-ported, manufactured, or served.An antecedent is something that comes before a behaviorand is required for an individual to understand what is ex-pected and how to perform a behavior. A practical examplecould be a policy and procedure communicated to employeesPractices formoving beyondcompliance tocommitment

Here we are in the first Wednesday of March, talking about our first movie musical. At the time this came out, husband and I had to ride the bus to see it, and it was worth it.
The plot follows the Jude, a young man from Liverpool, who travels to the US to find his absentee father. Once there, he meets Max, a party animal, and subsequently meets Max's sister, Lucy. After Lucy's boyfriend is killed in Vietnam, Lucy starts to have feelings for Jude.
Of course the main point of the movie is the music. You have to like The Beatles, or you won't enjoy this movie. For the most part, the song use is appropriate and effective at telling the story--although perhaps they cram in a few too many. The other thing that sticks out about this movie is the visuals. It conveys everything from love to heartbreak to what it's like to be on LSD. Like the music, you either love it or hate it, but either way you have to admit that it's interesting. Some of it has the unfortunate habit of screaming SYMBOLISM at the top of it's lungs (e.g. recruits carrying the statue of liberty during "She's So Heavy"). It's not subtle.
My favorite musical number for this movie is "I've Just Seen a Face," which is takes place in a bowling alley pure undiluted fun.
Overall, I know this movie is not for everyone, but if you like musicals you at least have to respect what it's trying to do. See it, if you haven't already.

TopSpeed Podcast Debuts March 6th
We all love top read reviews and see pictures, but nothing compares to listening live to what experts in the industry think. Because of this, TopSpeed has decided to launch a Podcast that will give readers the opportunity to interact more directly with us.
The TopSpeed Podcast will debut Thursday, March 6th at approximately 2:00 p.m. as a recorded pilot show starring myself, and associate editors and fellow gearheads Mark McNabb and Christian Moe. This is a work in progress, and we're sure it'll be a little rough around the edges while we work through the process, so please mind our stammers, stutters, pauses and mistakes. One thing is for damn sure, we all have enough opinions to fill a stadium, and we're set to voice them directly to you tomorrow.
Make sure to tune in for the first-ever TopSpeed Podcast tomorrow at about 2:00 p.m. We'll be covering what's in our garage now, all that happened at the Geneva Auto Show.

Rolling Through the Prairies
"I punked off Saskatchewan."
Waking up to the sounds of "breakfast is now being served in the dining car!" – Oh right, first class. I forgot. I peeked out from under my sleepy, cozy haze to have my first gaze of the Prairies. From my window, it all seemed to go by too fast.
I punked off Saskatchewan and I feel kind of bad, but my schedule (and the train's schedule) didn't allow for a visit, so the most I'll get to see (between Winnipeg and my next destination, Edmonton) is just the passing scenery outside of my window. Wack. "At least I know how to spell Saskatchewan," I tried to console myself, but I still felt bad. I struggled to remember pieces of a documentary on Regina hip hop and graffiti I had watched years ago. I kept my eyes open for passing freight trains and scanned their sides for familiar scrawls.
Many people in the West or in the East (which are definitely subjective terms in Canada) generally like to poke at each other either jokingly or viciously on this or that subject, but the Prairies always seem to get neglected and discounted from those discussions – as if they don't count. I had an obnoxious argument with a Vancouverite recently, wherein he made some sort of claim about Western Canada (meaning BC) being in opposition to Eastern Canada (in his eyes, Ontario and Quebec), and when I counter-argued using the example of that little wheat-producing province one over from Alberta, his blank stare reflected the blankness of his feelings about it. Where is the dividing line? The mountains? What binds BC and Alberta, aside from blinding wealth and a job boom? In discussions of East versus West, why is Central Canada dismissed? However you may draw your borders, the middle is hardly worth ignoring. And yet here here I am, punking off…
I contemplated wheat fields and freight trains over a chef's omelet and coffee in the super fancy dining car, and actually found myself sitting across the table from a couple from Saskatoon. They had boarded just in time to join me for a morning meal, and I confessed to them how I felt a little betrayed by the hills and streams in the province. "What about being able to see your dog run away for two days?" I asked them. "It's not really that flat." About an hour into our leisurely breakfast chat, the train rolled through a town called Biggar, a small farming community of several hundred. The VIA staff cracked jokes about a sign that read: "NEW YORK IS BIG, BUT THIS IS BIGGAR." Dang — farmers with attitude! I immediately decided that I liked the Prairies a whole lot more.
Now, I have to say a few words about this first class business. For starters, I'm nestled just along the lower rungs of the first class ladder — Sharon in Winnipeg had put me through for an Upper Berth (a claustrophobic little pod with pillows and dim lighting), but availability and tiredness had encouraged the VIA staff on the train to upgrade me on the spot to a Lower Berth (a roomy throne with the best view a window-starer-out-er like me could hope for). Even the Upper Claustro-Pod would have run me a few hundred dollars as simply an upgrade from my regular Coach ticket. Moving higher up along the ladder, you'd find people dishing out thousands for tiny single rooms, bedrooms, and even relatively spacious suites.
As I've said before, I have taken the train to the Maritimes many, many times. My trips were always East-bound, and always off-season. Who takes the train West? Who takes the train in the summertime? Who takes the train West in the summertime in First Class? The short answer is, three types of people: 1 – rich, elderly couples, 2 – rich, vacationing single British men, and 3 – rich, kinda weirdo Americans. This list is in order.
Rich Elderly Couples:
There were a lot of older folks on this train. A LOT of them. Swarming. They were everywhere — jammed into every available seat in the observation cars, smiling pleasantly over their tea or coffee or chilled juice or whatever over meals, teetering and tottering in the aisles on their way back to their respective seats and beds. Generally very sweet and nice and in perma-vacation mode. They dressed in pearls and snappy sweater vests, and wore silk pajamas and night caps to bed. Most of them were asleep by 9 pm. Something about the rocking motion of the train…
Rich Vacationing Single British Men:
Okay, I really only met three, but I'm positive there were more stowed away that I didn't get a chance to talk to. The conversation was the same with all of them:
"So what are you doing in Canada?"
"Oh, I'm on holiday, and I've always wanted to visit. It's my first time, and I wanted to see as much of it as possible."
"Where have you been so far?"
"Well, I flew into Toronto and stayed for a day, and now I'm on my way to Vancouver, where I'll be for another day or two. Then I fly back to England."
"That's it? Straight across? On the train? No stopping anywhere in between?"
"Yeah. No."
"Why? Why would you do something like that? You know it's cheaper to fly, don't you?"
At which point they'd give me a LOOK and the conversation would die. Seriously though, four days on the train? Just to have a "look" at the country? Being on a jam-packed train with a lot of idle wealth was starting to get to me, I think, and my tact had long disappeared. I suppose my own ideas of "seeing" a country go beyond merely stealing a few glances out the window while you stuff yourself with VIA Rail's gourmet non-vegan non-organic dinner menu, but hey — to each their own.
Rich and Kinda Weirdo Americans:
Again, really only three of this variety, and "weirdo" is such a subjective term to begin with. The one I'd be least inclined to tack that label to was a lady I met from Detroit (or Ohio?) who had just stepped into her 50s and was set on crossing items off her well-appointed Before I Die to-do list. By the end of her trip, she said, she'll have accomplished 13 out of 20. "Not bad for someone my age, hey?" She was boisterous and on her way to the Grand Canyon, Vegas, and multiple helicopter rides. I liked her.
The other two examples were both from Vermont, I think — a somber father and son, and a nerdy writer. The father/son combo made me uneasy in that they were extremely quiet, prone to staring, and bore matching army-style buzz cuts. The son was pudgy and the dad was thin, rocked an awful moustache, and had an uncomfortably high-strung air. They shared the berth next to mine and avoided eye contact during lunch.
As for the nerdy writer, we first connected (no pun) over our powerbook plug situation, but then quickly disconnected over Chapelle season one. He was going to lend his powerbook and some DVDs to one of the aforementioned Rich and Vacationing Single British Men in our section, and roped me into trying to explain the concept of Chapelle to the Brit.
"There's this great scene about this guy named Little John," he giggled, "and he can only speak in mono-syllables. How-how-how would you describe him?"
He turns to me and I pause. How would I describe him? "Uhhh…"
"He's like this smoked-out, rasta guy with sunglasses. So high on drugs. Man, it's hilarious!" He puts on an awful Jafakin' accent. "Oh yeah! Ohh-kaay!"
Those, I point out to him, are references to Lil' Jon songs. "Songs? You mean he's a real person?" I nodded. "Ohhhh." His smile faded into confusion, as if the sketch had somehow become less funny. So, he moved on to talking about his other favourite sketch: the one about the blind white supremacist. I sobbed on the inside. It was going to be a looooong ride.
The best thing about being on a train is the train itself. It moves slowly, sometimes gracefully but mostly laboriously, along rails that took hell to lay down but that have been absolutely vital in the struggle to thread this country's vast pieces together.
As I write this last bit, we're beginning to climb into Alberta, Big Sky Country. The flats (I truly and honestly thought they'd be flatter, guy) have given way to rolling hills, thick families of trees, and glistening rivers. A landscape like the curves of a woman, as my friend Samira would say. Gentle and powerful. I just caught sight of some Grade A Alberta beef cows grazing near the steep drop of a cliff, right up close to the edge. Not afraid of heights in these parts, are they?
That's pretty G.

Not all Hermit Crabs are considered to be safe for reef tanks. Many Hermit Crabs will destroy corals, eat fish, or other invertebrates. Growing Hermit Crabs are always on the lookout for a larger shell to settle in so some of the snails in your tank might not be totally safe.
These hermits are considered to be reef safe janitors.
01 of 09
Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crab
The Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crab or simply Blue Leg Hermit Crab has blue legs with red banding. Both claws are of equal size, and members of this genus are sometimes called "Equal-handed Hermit Crabs." This tiny crab lives in abandoned snail shells, or it may attack and eat the snail, then use the shell for its home.
The Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crab (Clibanarius tricolor) is a great addition to a saltwater aquarium because it eats many kinds of algae, including red slime algae (cyanobacteria), and sifts the sand, as well.
02 of 09
Dwarf Red Tip Hermit Crab
The Red Tip Hermit Crab has claws of equal size and, for this reason, is called an "Equal-handed Hermit Crabs." This hermit crab is native to the coastal water surrounding Mexico. The Red Tip has a bright red face and legs. In the home aquarium, it does best in a saltwater reef or fish-only systems with sand substrates in which they can forage and dig.
03 of 09
Dwarf Yellow Tip Hermit Crab
The Dwarf Yellow Tip Hermit Crab has bright yellow bands on its green to black legs making it stand out in almost any aquarium.
The Dwarf Yellow Tip Hermit Crab (Clibanarius sp.) has a small size (to 1") that allows it to get into all of the nooks and crannies in a reef tank.
04 of 09
Dwarf Zebra Hermit Crab
The Zebra Hermit Crab (Calcinus laevimanus) gets its name from its distinct coloration. C. laevimanus is named for its colored pincers and the white or orange bands that dress its otherwise dark legs. Like other members of the genus Calcinus, the Dwarf Zebra/Orange & Black Hermit Crab also has long eye stalks. However, this particular crab's eye stalks are a brilliant blue and fade into an orange-tinged upper half.Continue to 5 of 9 below.
05 of 09
Electric Blue Hermit Crab
The Electric Blue Hermit Crab is rare in the saltwater aquarium hobby. Found only in the Marshal Islands, it is infrequently shipped to the Mainland. This crab has electric blue legs with black banding, and its antennae stand out with its bright orange color. Both claws are close to being equal size and are brownish green in color. It grows to about 2" in size.
06 of 09
Electric Orange Hermit Crab
The Electric Orange Hermit Crab is endemic to Hawaii and has bright orange legs with brown banding and has unusually blue eyes. It grows to about 2" in size.
The Electric Orange Hermit Crab (Calcinus sp.) is a great addition to a saltwater aquarium because it eats detritus, uneaten food and many kinds of algae, and sifts the sand, as well.
07 of 09
08 of 09
Left-Handed Hermit Crab
The Left-Handed Hermit Crab (Calcinus laevimanus) is so named because its left claw is considerably larger than its right. If a predator attacks, the Hermit Crab can back into its shell and use the large claw to block the entrance to its shell. It has long eye stalks, the lower half of the eyestalk is blue, and the upper half, orange. It grows to about 1" in size. Found in Hawaii and the rest of the Pacific Ocean, this terrific little reef safe crab spends its time seeking out algae (even Red Slime Algae), detritus and decaying material.Continue to 9 of 9 below.

I'm not 100% sure Se-Na knows Hyun Wook was her sisters boyfriend yet, the preview is confusing (as usual). It's past time for it to come out though so I think it's good. I also know Shin Hae-Yoon is most likely involved, I'm hoping the person Hyun Wook is saying he doesn't want to get involved with anymore is her. I can't wait for tomorrow!
(Subtitles courtesy of Soompi TV)
Shi Woo: I drove 40 minutes to see you.
Hyun Wook: Yoon Se-Na quit.
Hyun Wook: What do you want to do in your situation?
Shi Woo: I don't want to do anything. I just like her.
Hyun Wook: I don't want to get involved with you anymore.
Se-Na: Are you saying you don't like me anymore?
Sung-Jin: Are you finished playing Daddy-Long-Legs?
Hyun Wook: Yea, I don't qualify.
Se-Na: Ahjussi, you're a really bad person.

The Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank said late Monday evening that he would be stepping down from President Trump's manufacturing job council, and joining the Merck's CEO in disapproving of Trump's response to white nationalists' rally at Charlottesville over the weekend.
Kevin Plank said that he joined the council "to have an active seat at the table" and for discussions on how to spur manufacturing job growth. "However, Under Armour engages in innovation and sports, not politics," Plank said.
"I am appreciative of the opportunity to have served, but have decided to step down from the council," he said. "I love our country and our company and will continue to focus my efforts on inspiring every person that they can do anything through the power of sport which promotes unity, diversity and inclusion."

WVS are delighted to be supporting Esperanza Verde, a wildlife rescue centre and conservation project based in Peru within the Amazon jungle. Many animal species fall victim to illegal hunting, either for meat or to be sold into the pet trade. Esperanza Verde rescue and rehabilitate animals that have been confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade. Where possible they release animals back into the wild, however sadly this is not possible in all cases. As a result they also provide permanent homes to animals deemed unfit for release. They protect a large area of rainforest and actively look to reforest areas previously lost to farming or logging.
Esperanza Verde are looking for volunteers from all walks of life, be it of a veterinary background or not, there is always plenty of work to get involved in, whether it is caring for the animals, or helping construct cages as they never exactly know what kind of animal will arrive and they try to be prepared for anything. Or you can help our local cook with preparing lunch, or help at the plantation,harvesting bananas and papayas. You can always assist with some general maintenance of the paths and walkways, for example raking the leaves and helping to restore steps that have worn away. Another of our on-going projects you could get involved in is reforestation. This involves planting seeds and seedlings in different parts of the forest during rainy season, as well as noting the GPS locations of the planted.
WVS are delighted to be supporting Esperanza Verde and although we have taken measures to ensure a level of health and safety, all liability falls with Esperanza Verde for the welfare of volunteers attending their project.
The country this project is based in is listed as a high risk of Zika virus on the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) website. Please follow the advice on their website when considering participating in this project.
6 weeks minimum
Spaces available
£100 admin fee
+ Return flights, transport, visa, insurance+ Approx £80 a week for food / lodgings
Dates available throughout the year.
You will generally be working 5 days a week, with 2 days off.
The day generally starts at 07:30 and ends at 17:00 with a lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00.
The accommodation at Esperanza Verde consists mostly of shared rooms within our volunteer house. The rooms have two or three beds each. You will be living together with other volunteers
in one house (max. of 12 persons). The manager-family (Douwe, Olivia and their children Kayla and Marlon) have their own house a bit deeper into the forest, within walking distance.
You will be provided with sheets, a pillow, and a blanket. Although not a necessity as there is no malaria, some mosquito nets are also available.
The volunteer house has a living room and a bathroom with a toilet, shower and cement table for washing clothes. The general kitchen is in a separate building and also has an additional living room, toilet
and shower. This is where we all (including the manager-family and permanent staff) have lunch during weekdays.
There is a piped water system, which provides water for the house, kitchen and several animal enclosures. In the volunteer house and the kitchen filtered drinking water is also available. Only cold running water is available for showering.
Nearby there is a small waterfall to bathe in, and if you like swimming you can also go swim in the bigger river. During dry-season (July-October) we do sometimes run out of water, so we
always try to use it sparingly. However when this does occur we always have the stream and the waterfall to bathe and wash.
There is no electricity at Esperanza Verde. Evening light is by candlelight and some small solar powered lights are available in the common areas. You can charge some items with a USB charge point, but the power is limited and if there is a queue of items. So try to bring not too many devices, as you won't be able to charge them regularly. If it is cloudy for few days, charging can take sometime,
as it requires strong sunlight to work efficiently.
Volunteers must be a minimum of 18 years of age
How long can I stay in Esperanza Verde?
The minimum stay is six weeks. There is no maximum stay. Providing that we have space and that you work hard, like the lifestyle and working condi>ons, you are welcome to stay as long as you
want. The longer you stay the more enjoyable your experience will be. You will get to know the work, the surroundings, the animals and people a lot beler. It takes a minimum of 2-3 weeks to
be fully trained as a volunteer so a longer stay will always be more rewarding both for the volunteer and for us.
When entering Peru you normally get a 90 day visitor visa. If you already know you want to stay longer in Peru, you can ask at passport control (before they stamp your passport), for the
maximum stay of 180 days. It is sometimes possible to extend your visa from 90 days to 180 days at the Immigration office in Lima. Otherwise you have to travel to one of the borders, exit the
country and re-enter a few hours. Upon re-entering they will give you another 90 days, or, if you ask, 180. A volunteer visa does not exist in Peru, so if asked the purpose of your travel please
state "tourism"
Vaccinations - Tetanus, rabies & yellow fever but please seek the advice from your GP always!
Accommodation & Airport Transfers
International Flights, Meals, Travel Insurance, Vaccinations
Volunteers should take practical / comfortable clothes to work in e.g (scrubs). If you would like to purchase a WVS scrub top please contact the office or visit our online shop.
The project may be extremely short on certain supplies and would likely be very grateful for donations. Please get in touch with us to find out if there is anything in particular that would be helpful to bring with you. If you have any spare room in your bag on the outbound flight, it would be highly appreciated if you are able to bring some spare supplies to use during your trip. This is at your discretion and entirely optional.
It is essential that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance for this project which also covers you for veterinary work. We recommend Go Walkabout who offer tailor made travel insurance policies for WVS volunteers. Please note that fully paid members of WVS also receive a 10% discount on Go Walkabout policies.
This information should be used as a guide only. For up to date information on immunisations please consult your doctor. You will need to allow plenty of time before travelling for your immunisations to be effective. DO NOT LEAVE THIS UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. As you will be working with animals the Rabies and Tetanus vaccines are essential. We have provided links below to websites with useful information on immunisations and travel advice which we highly recommend that you visit.
UK passport holders are required to obtain a visa before travelling. Please visit the Foreign Commonwealth Office website for further details: www.fco.gov.uk. All WVS volunteers are required to organise their own visas.

Click here for this week's specials at Disperse Dev
Disperse Dev on Amazon is a store selling home goods, patio furniture, home furniture, home decor, and more. Click the blue link above to check out what deals and promotions they are currently offering in a variety of furniture. At the moment, they do have a Save 25% Off of Select Items promotion.
Feedback History
Disperse Dev has earned about 3,000 positive feedback ratings, with a current 97% positive overall score. Disperse Dev is also rated as a #1 Best Seller in many of the categories that they sell on Amazon. This basically means that they offer both a competitive price, as well as a history of customer satisfaction in those categories.
Disperse Dev mainly sells items like home goods, patio furniture, home furniture, home decor, and more. They carry brands like ZOOM dca, Serta, bOutdoors, bWise USA, Zoom Power Bank, Atlantis Paddle Boards, bPowered UP, iArmour USA, Plan Sea, Serta Perfect Lift Chair, bPoweredUP, NIGHT BRIGHT, power bank, and others.
This is one of those Amazon stores to visit when you want the retail experience. If you've been to any furniture store in general, you should be familiar with the brands and styles that they carry.
Items like Serta Perfect Lift Chair Recliner, Napoleon Wall Mount Electric Fireplace, Serta Comfort Lift Winston Lay Flat Lift Chair, bPoweredUP Adjustable Bed Base, etc.
Disperse Dev sells brand new merchandise, and does offer a 100% Authentic guarantee, as well as a 100% money back guarantee.
When you sell name brand products, etc., especially at a discount, a popular question is always going to be if the items are authentic, fake, or knock-offs. To answer that question…
Let's take a close look at their recent feedback history. Amazon buyers have a really good way of weeding out the good sellers from the bad. If an item even SLIGHTLY looks like it might be a counterfeit or knock-off, they will leave you bad feedback. And any and all flaws will usually be reflected in a seller's feedback. With that being said, over the past 12 months, Disperse Dev has received about 700 positive feedback ratings, compared to just 3% negative feedback comments. With that sort of lop-sided ratio, it definitely appears as though Disperse Dev is an honestly run business, selling authentic merchandise.
Click Here to View Recent Feedback For Disperse Dev
All items are guaranteed to be 100% authentic, and come with all the manufacturer paper work, in their original authentic boxes as provided by the manufacturers.
What I like or don't like
Their storefront is very organized. You have a product menu on the left side with all of the brand categories available, as well as top menu with store categories. So you just find your desired category, and go from there. Once you get into a listing page, you get a left hand menu with all of the brands available. So this store is very easy to navigate.
Another thing I appreciate is their attention to detail in their listings. Each listing has multiple clear and large pictures, so you can clearly see what is included in the listing.

Catching up
Since I have decided that this is going to be my "Knit-In Weekend", (no errands, no housework, no cooking, no visitors). I wanted to take a minute and share with anyone who might be reading this some of my knit related exploits, of late.
Got sidetracked away from the Multi-Directional Scarf by a major first for me. Two socks, on Magic Loop, toe up. What I thought was going to be a huge undertaking is actually not that bad at all.
Sorry about the sillyness. It was SnB night, new day (Thursdays) and new place (Java Hut).
I think this is how I'll do all my socks from now on. It'll be great when I'm not sure if I have enough yarn for two full length socks. Which may be the case with these socks. The idiot in me only purchased two skeins of Claudia in Buckeye colorway. My "Monkey" socks took two and a half. What was I thinking? Oh well!
I've also been doing some frogging lately. The casualties include "Lady Elanor" from Scarf Style, in Noro. And the Pinwheel Baby Blanket I was playing with in my leftover pink and grey Claudia from my Monkey socks. I'll probably restart The Lady later in the year. But as the baby blanket is for a friend at work, as soon as I know the baby's sex, I'll re-cast on that one immediately. (I think she's due this summer)
It was sooo cute too! Oh well, the next one will be even better.
This morning I went to another of my LYS to pick up my copy of "Victorian Lace Today". Oh My God!!! I love this book. I can't wait to get start my first lace project. There are so many great patterns in there, it's going to be hard to choose which one. I already have the perfect yarn for it. I bought a hank of silk from Mama-E's C*EYE*BER FIBER in Platinum. It's beautiful.
While I was there I also picked up a couple of skeins of silk and another project bag.
I'm also knitting the first scarf of my own design (sort of). So far, I love the way it's coming out. Only time will really tell. I'm using a stitch pattern found in Vogue Stitchionary 1, and the Fibonnacci system.
Two balls of "Manos" in shades of purple, knitted on my 10.5 Knit Lite needles (also purple). Are sensing the theme here. "PURPLE, PURPLE, PURPLE" I just love purple. As anyone who knows me can attest to.
Speaking of which. I picked up a new knitting bag from Mango Moon. Purple of course. And I love it. The strap is long and wide like a messenger bag's would be. I love it. The only draw back is it has only one pocket. But who cares, it's PURPLE!
Time to get back to my "Knit-In Weekend". I've got a horror movie marathon all planned out. And the popcorn is done popping.
See ya soon!

text: In this talk, I'll take a deep dive into Spark's performance on two benchmarks (TPC-DS and the Big Data Benchmark from UC Berkeley) and one production workload and demonstrate that many commonly-held beliefs about performance bottlenecks do not hold. In particular, I'll demonstrate that CPU (and not I/O) is often the bottleneck, that network performance can improve job completion time by a median of at most 4%, and that the causes of most stragglers can be identified and fixed. After describing the takeaways from the workloads I studied, I'll give a brief demo of how the (open-source) tools that I developed can be used by others to understand why Spark jobs are taking longer than expected. I'll conclude by proposing changes to Spark core that, based on my performance study, could significantly improve performance. This talk is based on a research talk that I'll be giving at NSDI 2015.

I recently had a car problem here in Naples Florida and it set me to thinking about service. The Mercedes threw a TPMS light at the end of our block. A quick inspection revealed a drywall screw in the tread of the tire. No big deal I thought, I'll just stop in to any of a few places on my route and get it fixed. That didn't go so well. Tire Choice asked if I had an appointment. I replied no, I had a tire going flat. They took pity on me and told me if I left the car for the rest of the day they would fix the problem. (This is at 11:30am.) Sam's Club, where I was headed, said I'd have to wait a few hours but they would definitely repair it for me. Tires Plus offered me an appointment the next day at noon saying they were busy and that was the best they could do. And so it went until Tuffy Auto repair told me to come on down. I was there for half an hour while they fixed my tire. That was what I expected from everyone, and I was surprised at how difficult it was to have a small problem corrected. I was about to go to the parts store and buy a tire plug kit but not everyone has that option…
We operated gas stations for many years and are used to people dropping in with all sorts of problems. We believe we ought to do something to help them. I've spoken to friends and customers about this and they all told me my experience was pretty normal.
BUT that was one of the things they valued about their relationship with Georgica Services. We do go out of our way to help people, and it is appreciated. I am very proud of this company and how Donovan and June are keeping that service tradition alive!

Govt pursuing 'feku federalism' and 'arrogance': Oppn in RS
New Delhi: Opposition parties in Rajya Sabha on Friday accused the BJP-led government of "feku federalism" and "arrogance", saying the union budget was a "betrayal" of the farmers and warning the ruling party not to mislead the people.
This "feku federalism (of the Centre) won't do", an angry Derek O'Brien of the Trinamool Congress said while referring to the burden imposed on states for railway infrastructure development.
Participating in the resumed debate on the 2018-19 budget, Neeraj Shekhar of the Samajwadi Party said the budget was a "betrayal" of the people, especially farmers who were still committing suicide and being forced to sell their produce in the market below the minimum support price.
He said there was a "veil of arrogance" shrouding the BJP people which the countrymen will have to recognise.
Shekhar also asked why people were paying Rs 75 per litre of petrol now when the crude prices are USD 68 per barrel and said they were paying the same price when the crude prices had skyrocketted to USD 140 per barrel and sought to know the kind of arithmetic behind this.
On the issue of non-performing assets (NPAs), he sought details on the loans given to big corporates since 2014 when the BJP-led government came to power.
On claims over Rs 71,000 crore being deposited into Jan Dhan accounts, Shekhar asked how much was deposited in these accounts after November 8 when demonetisation was announced. "I appeal to the Government not to misguide the farmers, youth and the minorities," Shekhar said.
With BJP ally TDP members holding placards inside the Well demanding special status for Andhra Pradesh, YSRCP MP V Vijayasai Reddy asked Basawaraj Patil, who was in the Chair, how come the TDP was protesting without resigning from the Union Cabinet.
When some members including those from TDP began shouting slogans as Trinamool Congress member Derek O' Brien stood up to speak, he assured the protestors that he completely sympathised with their cause.
"We know you are deprived.. We are with you Andhra, you (TDP) have to move now from that (Treasury benches) side to this (Opposition) side," O'Brien said.
Observing that Congress leader P Chidambaram had sought answers to 12 questions on the budget from the Finance Minister, O'Brien solicited replies from Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on 12 queries relating to his ministry.
Asking if railways was a union subject, why were the states being asked to bear the expenditure for its infrastructure creation, he said "this feku federalism (of the Centre) won't do" and the states should not be cheated.
O'Brien asked why the Depreciation Reserve Fund provision was slashed to Rs 500 crore in the Railway Budget from Rs 5,000 crore. He said the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of the Railways which was 6 per cent earlier had come down to 2 per cent in the last 3.5 years in the NDA regime.
The TMC leader also qustioned the commercial viability policy of the government, saying there was talk of 8 railway routes in Bengal being shut.
To this, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament had suggested it, but the issue was resolved after Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha's intervention.
O'Brien also questioned the government over job creation, saying 1.25 lakh safety job posts in Railways were lying vacant.
"We told you (Government) not to implement GST in July.
You have kept a provision of Rs 55,000 crore for compensation to states in the Budget but the compensation during the first six months alone was Rs 40,000 crore, which implies it will be Rs 80,000 crore for the entire year. From where will you bring the remaining Rs 55,000 crore," he asked.
CP Narayanan of the CPI(M) said the Centre's share has reduced in the centrally sponsored schemes whereas the states were being burdened. He also raised the issue of farmers' suicides, and said unless the mistakes are rectified, the future is bleak.
S Muthukaruppan (AIADMK) said "We were an ally when J Jayalalithaa was alive and our party has supported the BJP at crucial times," but funds have not been given to the state. Referring to the devastation caused by cyclone Vardah, Muthukaruppan said "We had requested Rs 25,000 crore from the Centre for rehabilitation but not a single rupee has been given". He also sought a drought package for Tamil Nadu.

What a great summer this has been!
We just finished up our Fall Foliage Weekend Trip to Lake City! While admittedly only one person brought a bike, a lot of fun and incredibly scenic activities were still had in the area. We did some beautiful hikes (one guy did a 14er!) and explored the roads around the high mountain passes and down to Creede and back. Nights were cold but days filled with sunshine and mild temperatures made for amazing conditions to spend time outdoors. Please check out our pics!
While we're officially done with summer trips for the season, the fun's not over. We now have to wait for the snow to fall before we head back up into the mountains NEXT YEAR for our ski weekends to Steamboat Springs and Frisco. Maybe other events will get added as people feel antsy! So keep checking back in case we add any trips or rides which may spark your interest, and get in touch with any trip sponsor quickly to put in your name. Our trips can fill up fast. We want to see you woo-hooing on a trip, not boo-hooing on the sidelines.
If you have any trip/ride ideas or suggestions on how to better run your club or our website, please let us know at email@example.com. Remember: no one listens to your flapping clap trap or clapping flap trap better than the RMBB. Hmmm, I think that should be our new club motto.
Happy Trails!

Recently, Millman Street Members were treated to a series of workshops by a singer and pianist from the Royal Opera House. Helena, whose father was Italian and who was brought up on opera, said, "It was very good; lovely, all that sort of nonsense!"
Maria, who is Italian, said the recital from the ROH was "Buono!" (good), inspiring a discussion about opera composers and singers. These included Puccini, Verdi, Donazetti and Gerswhin, and the Three Tenors (Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo) and Mario Lanza.
Pamela, whose son is a flautist, harpist and pianist, likes opera but missed the performance. She would like to see and hear more singers at the Centre, regardless of genre.
In addition to the performance of ROH singer Rebecca and pianist Asheley, members were also given singing and technique lessons during the workshops. Margaret (also of Italian heritage) said the recital was "Very good," and enjoyed how Rebecca explained the lesson. "She was a very nice lady," she added, and the performance was "Very uplifting."
Canute, himself a singer and actor, "Enjoyed it tremendously! Rebecca was a really good teacher. I hope she's coming back soon!" Sentiments echoed by David. "It was fantastic, amazing!" he enthused, "It was great to get stuck in!", also adding that he'd like to see the ROH return. The singing lessons helped him overcome stagefright, he said. "Years ago, I wouldn't have done anything like that; I'd have preferred to draw or paint quietly in the corner".
Fred & Olive also enjoyed the performance and the workshops. "They taught us how to use our stomach muscles and to control our voices," said Fred.

April 12, 2015 by Paula Petcu
In a previous post, I've illustrated a basic process of how to create your own font by the means of digitizing hand written letters, and this has shown to be fun and accessible. It is however also quite time consuming, especially the tasks of cropping each letter from the scanned document and then tracing and saving each letter one by one, as well as the task of then mapping the image files to their corresponding letters in the glyphs application. Imagine doing this multiple times if you want to have contextual alternates or do this for all the different styles you want for your font (regular, italic, bold).
So, how much of this can be automated?
In this tutorial, I illustrate how to digitize your own font a tiny bit faster, with the help of some templates, conventions, and some scripting.
Step 0. Prerequisites
The prerequisites for this tutorial are a scanner, a printer, Python installed, basic Python programming knowledge and the Glyphs app. (*the app is not free, but as mentioned in the previous post, you can play with the trial versions for a month, and if you complete the tutorial in this time frame, you will have a font you can use beyond that **the Glyphs app seems to be available for Mac only at the moment, but the same process should be applicable - though haven't tested it - to Windows users as well when using a similar application).
It's recommended to skim through the previous post first, as it includes links to resources explaining basic notions of fonts as well as an alternative process of creating the font if Python scripting is not an option for you.
Step 1. Drawing the letters in the template
- Print a template like this one in which you can fill in all the letters, uppercase and lowercase, digits, special characters, and dingbats that you would like to include in your font. The template helps you keep track of what you have to include in the font, as well as provides guidance on the sizing of the letters.
Step 2. Scan, crop, trace, and save the lettersThis step is semi-automated. That is, most of the work is done by the script, but it requires some user input.
- Download the Python code from here. This is an iPython notebook including the code and example output, so if you are familiar with iPython then you can just use it, or otherwise copy the code into a Python script.
- Open the script in an editor.
- Add a filled-in template in the scanner.
- Modify the script like follows:
- Change the scanline_path to the path where the scanline application is on your Mac.
- Create a template array similar to the existing template_1 and template_2 arrays that includes the names of the letters that you have in the printed template, from left to right, top to bottom.
- Define scan settings by setting SCAN_NAME, PREFIX, and TEMPLATE to your values
- Run step 2 in the code in order to perform the scan and preview the content
- Run step 3 in order to set some lines that would separate the letters. Play with the values of FUDGE_H and FUDGE_V in order to capture the letters in their entirety and without borders. The lines represent the position at which a crop will be made in order to extract the letters.
- When you are satisfied with the lines set in step 3, run step 4 in order to crop the letters, trace the lines of each letter, and save both the raster and traced files. The naming of the letters is based on the content of the template array that you are using.
- The script will have saved one file per letter and automatically name the files according to the contents. Use these files in the next step.
Steps 3 and 4
Steps 3 and 4 are the same as in the previous tutorial. However, the automatic naming of the files now makes it even easier and faster to find the right file corresponding to a letter.
A few improvements in the process of creating the font can help save time, and give more time to focus on the design rather than thinking of the operational aspects.

Leftover Lobster?
The idea of leftover lobster sounds almost impossible to me. But I did find myself with two leftover, big, fat ,1.5 pounders and made up a few lobster rolls for dinner the other night. The last time I made these was at Christmastime. You must have the top split New England style frankfurter rolls for these...not all that easy to find here in New Jersey, but my local A& P for some reason always has them. The rolls get a nice toast in a skillet in melted butter on either side.
The lobster meat gets tossed with nice squeeze of lemon juice, a little bit of Hellmann's Mayo, some finely chopped celery,freshly ground black pepper... and a snip of a few chives from my garden over top. It all gets mixed together gently and is loaded onto a Boston lettuce lined toasted roll. We had these with some potato chips, dill pickles, and an ice cold Corona....it was a wonderful dinner. I closed my eyes and felt I was sitting in the hot sun, on a bench at a fish shack in New England. We were happy as clams!

OK..I could sink my teeth right into those right now..ReplyDelete
The toasted bun..the mayo..the lobster.
I can taste it!
I had one ..The Marginal Way~
I have a lifelong memory of it..and yours ..brought me right back there..overlooking the ocean on a cliff.
We always toasted our buns that way:) The best!
I can't find those rolls anywhere here in Dallas. :( Your lobster rolls look delicious. Perfect dinner.ReplyDelete
Hi linda, I love lobster, this refreshing meal sounds great. have a nice weekend. anjaReplyDelete
Wow, leftover lobster! Can't imagine such a thing. I tried a lobster roll many years ago when I visited a friend in Boston.ReplyDelete
That's my idea of an great meal.
Your lobster rolls look just like what they serve along the coast of Maine, Linda. Soooo good....ReplyDelete
Oh thanks my friends....they were so good. I bought 6 big lobsters and Mike and I could only eat so many before we burst....so I had two leftover. They are on sale again this week for $4.99 a pound for hard shell lobster...guess what? I am getting them again! Lori you could always take regular hot dog bun...stand it up with the opening on top and slightly shave off the crust on the sides...no one will know the difference!ReplyDelete
Mike goes back to Brussels next Sunday...so there will be another lobster fest before he goes...yeah baby!
oh yum... i have never had leftover lobster so this is rather an exciting treat to me!ReplyDelete
hope you had a great grad party~
Lobster rolls should be simple and straightforward, just like yours. That's how we do it here in New England!ReplyDelete
My oh my that is heaven on a plate! Fabulous! What a summer meal!ReplyDelete

ROCK | Silversun Pickups
w/ Winston Audio
Fri. March 16
Village Tavern
Straight outta L.A., fuzz-rock quartet Silversun Pickups are ready for their first major foray across the country. Guitarist/singer Brian Aubert, bassist/singer Nikki Monninger, drummer Christopher Guanlao, and keyboardist Joe Lester -- all longtime players in the tangled SoCal band scene -- first came together in the early 2000s with a tough, distorted, melodic sound, dense with big drum beats and saturated guitar which drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins, and Sonic Youth. "In the beginning, we were just trying to figure out what we wanted to do, didn't even know if this was what we wanted to do," says Aubert. "But we were playing clubs while we were learning and I was learning to be a frontman all of a sudden. But after a little while, we started honing in on where things were going and what we liked and didn't like. It was like trial by fire, playing on stage all the time. It was scary, but you learn fast that way." They hit the Tavern on Friday behind their latest collection, Carnavas (Dangerbird). See www.silversunpickups.com for more. FRIDAY
LOCAL ROCK | "The Scarlet Vaden Memorial Concert"
w/ The Working Title, Number One Contender, Red Handed, Leslie, Action City Blackout, Sadler Vaden & Friends
Fri. March 16
Music Farm
It was sad news a few weeks back when local rock trio Leslie announced the passing of lead singer and guitarist Sadler Vaden's mother from breast cancer. In a kind gesture of support, several in the local band scene came together to organize a special memorial musical event in her honor. Co-Sponsored by 98X and The Bridge at 105.5 FM, "The Scarlet Vaden Memorial Concert" will feature performances from a variety of Charleston-based rock groups -- The Working Title, Number One Contender, Red Handed, Leslie, Action City Blackout, and Sadler with special guests. "Although it is a very sad time for me, it seems that there is some new light being shed upon me," Vaden (pictured) said in a recent announcement. "In this time of grief and sadness, I find inspiration and motivation to push even harder. The amount of support I have received from my family and friends, the fans, and the Charleston music scene has been more than amazing during these times." Proceeds benefit the Vaden family and a local breast cancer foundation. FRIDAY
IRISH | Steve Carroll & The Bograts
Sat. March 17
Tommy Condon's Irish Pub & Seafood Restaurant
Now how could it be a proper downtown St. Paddy's Day celebration without getting pissed and having the craic to the melodic sounds of Steve Carroll and his band jigging through the Market streets. This week marks the 19th anniversary for Dublin-born, Charleston-based singer/songwriter and bodhran player. As ringleader of popular troupe The Bograts (one of two house bands at Tommy Condon's), Carroll and his gang regularly lead the crowd through several lively foot-tapping sets of Irish traditional classics such as "I'll Tell Me Ma," "The Fields of Athenry," and "Dublin in the Rare Ole Times." Being a cute Irish boyo, he also manages to toss in a few cleverly reworked renditions of pop tunes and songs off of their recent album, All Over the Place. The band starts at 8 p.m. Miss this and I'll tell me Ma! C'mon down for some ceol, craic agus aon focal eile ... sláinte! (translated by Adrian Garvey) SATURDAY
ROCK | Genrevolta
w/ The Specs, Bill Carson
Sat. March 17
This year, St. Patrick's Day is about more than just getting trashed on cheap green beer -- it's about getting trashed on cheap green beer and Irish whiskey and watching three diverse local bands rip shit up at Cumberland's! First up is Genrevolta, who've been busy in the six long months since their last show. Lead singer Philip Estes reports that they've finished a new split EP with In the Red (a band from Riverside, Cal.) that's about to come out on local label Tick Tock Records, so there should be plenty of new math-rock madness at Sat. night's show. While Genrevolta's opening, Bill Carson will provide the Americana for the evening (word has it Carson's been listening to a lot of Neil Young these days) and The Specs round out the night with their proto-pop explosions of good times. SATURDAY
