I am dedicated to scientifically correct and best solutions based on those medically ethical principles and creating optimal health and beauty- and VERY importantly–NON-TOXICALLY. Do NOT USE Premarin estrogen hormone medications for vaginal dryness nor menopause symptom treatment nor for anything-especially the off label use which some doctors are now VERY wrongly ignoring or oblivious of the history and the facts and the complete ingredient list, prescribing to patients for skin rejuvenation (also obviously oblivious to the fact that you CANNOT give estrogen without progesterone unless you MORE SO increase cancer risk whether you have a uterus or not).
Premarin and all its other contained ingredients to AVOID in and ON the body are the OPPOSITE of bioidentical, are made from horse urine, implicated since the 1970's in increasing breast and hormone mediated cancers as a result of the horse urine estrogens in Premarin being COMPLETELY foreign/chemically INCORRECT chemicals to the body. They cause huge synthetic, foreign chemical overdoses in the body as a result of this and create thus the very negative side effects of increased cancer risks proven medically repetitively and litigated successfully as well for years by and for those patients who suffered the sad consequences of their being prescribed to them. Shockingly, they are being advertised and pushed to the public and physicians again as the pharmaceuticals perhaps believe we have no memory or do they SO NOT CARE AT ALL about the HEALTH!?
Any physician who kept up with the medical literature on Premarin's side effects and remembered their pledge of the Hippocratic Oath stopped prescribing them and instead compounding bioidentical hormone therapy for relieving the symptoms of low hormones, menopause, vaginal dryness, skin rejuvenation synergistically using hormone therapy, became the best tool for the job. If you have vaginal dryness or are HORRIFYINGLY being prescribed it OFF LABEL meaning not intended nor approved for use for skin rejuvenation which Premarin is now being advertised again to treat, use instead if you care about your health and wellbeing, bioidentical Estriol or estradiol cream. You can ONLY use Estradiol-with or without having a uterus, if you are at the same time using Progesterone and the bioidentical, mimic nature best tool for that job as well is progesterone cream not pills in my medical experience and opinion for a great number of reasons.
I am engaged in this educational process for you the public, FIRST as a female physician who CARES about patients receiving the MOST non-toxic therapies that work and preferably, if at ALL possible, treat the patient successfully, and do no harm.
I formulated a bio-identical Estriol cream – Estriol is a weaker estrogen which is safer; better (see my website) for my patients to use for all the above reasons and as an alternative to toxic choices. But there are others you can choose from and your physician as I do in my office may compound Estriol cream but you want EVERYTHING you put in and on your body to be NONTOXIC if at all possible and remember to read the COMPLETE ingredient list of the CREAM as well as the DRUG contained in the cream (see ingredients to avoid).
Don't spend your money on what is causing your body more toxicity/probable harm than everyday life in today s world. CHOOSE HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES and Estriol is one but WHATEVER you do- do NOT use Premarin.
Shame on the drug company as they know Premarin is absorbed through the skin and vaginal cells just as in any other cells of the body-AND with NO progesterone! This why you have to think/remember, that the body ALWAYS must be treated as a WHOLE. Knowledge is power and you are the ultimate captain of your health, beauty and happiness ship so I am trying to help educate and protect you. What you do from there is YOUR choice with YOUR body.

The collection of taxes and duties is fundamental to the government's ability to provide social services. Taxes and duties are the building blocks of the welfare state. The largest expenses of the National Treasury are the Health Care System, Social Security and Welfare along with the Educational System.
The levying of taxes and their collection are two distinct procedures in Iceland. On the one hand, taxes are levied by the Internal Revenue, its departments and various other institutions. On the other, the Directorate of Customs has the task of collecting taxes and duties. The Directorate collects the majority of all taxes and duties in Iceland.

Frustrated Obama Pressures Congress on Guns
President Barack Obama returned to Connecticut Monday to make an aggressive pitch for his gun-control agenda, saying that people should expect more from Congress on this issue.
Standing before a Hartford audience that included victims' families from Sandy Hook Elementary School, the president offered an emotional plea for lawmakers to "do the right thing," and, at the least, to allow a vote on several firearms measures.
Mr. Obama said the day of the Newtown shootings was the toughest of his presidency. "If we don't respond to this, that will be a tough day for me, too," he said.

Writing the simplest statement has often been a nightmare for me. No kidding. Here's but a brief glimpse as to what I go through: "Alright (all right?), my oldest (or is it eldest?) granddaughter had just gotten (is that even a word??) into (one word? two?) her dad's Jeep for the long trek back home while I (when I, maybe?)–Oh, forget it!!" Okay, so I'm a tad anal . . . and neurotic . . .
So thank goodness for Grammar Girl Mignon Fogarty, who has saved my grammatical sanity once again. Just when I thought that nothing could top her Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing and Grammar Devotional as my go-to guides when mired in writerly angst, she comes out with the jewel Grammar Girl's 101 Troublesome Words You'll Master in No Time. And it's right on time too. I'm not sure how much longer I could have hovered on the brink.
Before, I tore my style guides and other references apart, searching for guidance on these 101 troublesome (translation: crazy-making) words, but no more. Grammar Girl's much-needed and welcomed advice in 101 Troublesome Words lays (or is it lies? Looked it up–it's lays) just within reach as I bang away on my keyboard. And I feel sooo much better now, as stability is now restored in grammar world (well, at least for the moment). And you, my fellow anal/neurotics (you know who you are), will feel much better too. I promise.
Thank you, Grammar Girl. Once again.

As a fan of Group Policies I took a peak under the hood of the new Windows 10 and Windows Server 10. Hoping there'd be loads of new settings I searched through the PolicyDefinitions folder found in Windows folder of the system volume. To my disappointment I only found one. 🙁
Group Policy Definitions
In each setting in the Group Policy Editor there is a Requirements heading that says like "At least Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2". With the current release the new settings should say something like "At least Windows 10 or Windows Server 10". After going through the settings in the Group Policy Management Console for a while I could not find a single one indicating a new setting. This requires thorough investigation I say.
PowerShell to the task
The above mentioned requirements are defined in the Group Policy definition files found in PolicyDefinitions folder under Windows folder. Group Policies are defined in ADMX files (with descriptions and help strings in ADML files). Windows 8.1, for example, is defined as "Windows_6_3" with a leading "SUPPORTED" string. Windows 10's internal version is 6.4 so running the following in PolicyDefinitions folder:
Select-String -Path .\*.admx -Pattern "6_4"
Select-String -Path .\en-us\*.adml -Pattern "6_4"
revealed that there is just one(!) setting saying that it is supported on "SUPPORTED_Windows_6_4". The strings also indicate the internal name of the Technical Preview, that is Windows Next and Windows Next Server. 🙂 By the way there are also a strings that say "Windows8_1Update2" that are not found in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2. Maybe they'll come out before Windows Next…
The one and only new GPO setting
To be precise the new setting is found under the Kerberos folder, it's name is "Support device authentication using certificate" and Requirements is "At least Windows Next Server, Windows Next or Windows Next RT".
The explanation is as follows:
"Support for device authentication using certificate will require connectivity to a DC in the device account domain which supports certificate authentication for computer accounts.This policy setting allows you to set support for Kerberos to attempt authentication using the certificate for the device to the domain. If you enable this policy setting, the devices credentials will be selected based on the following options:
Automatic: Device will attempt to authenticate using its certificate. If the DC does not support computer account authentication using certificates then authentication with password will be attempted.
Force: Device will always authenticate using its certificate. If a DC cannot be found which support computer account authentication using certificates then authentication will fail.
If you disable this policy setting, Disable will be used.
If you do not configure this policy setting, Automatic will be used."
So there you go, not much to say, is there? Well, this for sure is going to change as the Technical Preview evolves… I'll post new settings as they come along.

352 Adelaide Street West (Alexander Engraving Co)
In the Matter of the Ontario Heritage Act
R.S.O. 1990, Chapter 0.18 and
City of Toronto, Province of Ontario
Take notice that Toronto City Council intends to designate the lands and building known municipally as 352 Adelaide Street West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act
Reasons for Designation
The property at 352 Adelaide Street West (Alexander Engraving Co) is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value, and meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under all three categories of design, associative and contextual value.
The property at 352 Adelaide Street West contains the Alexander Engraving Co. building, completed in 1909, a three storey, commercial warehouse building with brick cladding. The property is located in the King-Spadina area.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value
The Alexander Engraving Co. building has design value as a representative of the commercial warehouse type with mill construction which is evident in the regular disposition of the windows reflective of the internal structural grid and the departure with the large ground floor window designed for display and advertising.
The building has historic value as it is associated with the evolution of the King-Spadina neighbourhood's history as a commercial and industrial district which supported a range of commercial interests including small family-run businesses. Originally associated with the Alexander Engraving Company, from as early as 1920 the building was occupied by the Zuckerman family who operated the Novelty Embroidery Company, later known as Toronto Quilting and Embroidery Ltd. which by 1982 was known as Doubletex Inc. which now has branches in numerous Canadian and American cities. The building is also valued for its association with the Toronto architect George R. Harper.
Situated on the north side of Adelaide Street West, between Peter Street and Spadina Avenue and adjacent to the building at 350 Adelaide Street West, the Alexander Engraving Company building has contextual value as is maintains an early twentieth-century low-rise commercial warehouse building character which is part of the diverse historic built form of the neighbourhood. As part of the continuing evolving character of the King-Spadina neighbourhood it is physically, functionally, visually and historically linked to its surroundings.
Heritage Attributes
The heritage attributes of the Alexander Engraving Co. building are:
- The setback, placement and orientation of the building on the north side of Adelaide Street West between Peter Street and Spadina Avenue
- The scale, form and massing of the three storey commercial warehouse building built on a rectangular plan with a flat roof
- The principal (south) elevation with its red brick cladding and decorative corbelled bricks at the cornice
- The east (side) elevation with its red brick cladding and regular grid of windows openings on three levels
- The yellow brick cladding of the west (side)elevation
- The arrangement of openings on the principal (south) elevation with the entry located at the west side of the elevation and the large display window located towards the east side, and at the second and third floors the three regularly spaced windows (Note the original design for the entrance as a double-leafed, partly glazed door with a transom light above)
- The segmental arched openings of the doors and windows and the stone window sills on the south, east, north and west elevations
- On the principal (south) elevation, the pattern of divisions of windows with a transom light in the first floor window, and for the second and third floor windows, as shown in the original architect's drawings, the double-hung sash featuring two lights over one
- The windows on the east (side) elevation which feature six-over-six double hung sash
Notice of an objection to the proposed designation may be served on the City Clerk, Attention: Ellen Devlin, Administrator, Toronto and East York Community Council, Toronto City Hall, 100 Queen Street West, 2nd floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2N2, within thirty days of March 6, 2018, which is April 5, 2018. The notice of objection must set out the reason(s) for the objection, and all relevant facts.
Dated at Toronto this 6th day of March, 2018
Ulli S. Watkiss
City Clerk

Public Procurement
North Macedonia
Contracting authorities and bidders in local, EU and international procurement procedures, need to rely on legal advice informed by extensive experience on both sides of the process. Public procurement legislation has undergone some significant changes in Central and Eastern Europe in recent years. Despite legislation moving closer towards harmonisation with the EU, many practical challenges remain.
CMS has worked on scores of complex projects in the region over the last two decades and fields specialist public procurement lawyers across 15 full-service offices. Our lawyers offer a powerful combination of local expertise and insight coupled with international know-how and perspective on public procurement issues. We can guide you through complex public tender issues, from the formation and building of bidding consortia, concession contracts and sophisticated PPP projects, through to compliance, investigations and procurement-related disputes and litigation.
In the CEE/SEE region and across CMS, our specialists have longstanding sector-expertise across core industries including infrastructure, lifesciences/healthcare, transport, and technology, media and communications. This approach means we can resolve your complex public tender issues, including formation and building of bidding consortia, protection of confidential information, anti-trust matters, evaluations, specific rules around framework agreements, concession contracts and complex PPP projects. Further, we can assist regarding feedback and debriefing and how to approach different regulated tender procedures. We also provide support before tribunals and courts across Europe or in front of the European Commission.
Choose area
Regulatory provisions are constantly on the rise in numerous sectors and particularly internationally active companies have to deal with a growing number of such provisions on a daily basis. Against this backdrop, precise knowledge of the respective legal framework and advice based on such expert knowledge are essential for you to manage a successful business despite the plethora of regulatory demands. As a consequence of the crises of the past years, regulatory provisions have repeatedly been revised and some are considerably stricter today. So acting by regulatory standards is anything but unambiguous for companies.

Ahead of London Games Festival 2019, we are catching up with the people organising the wide variety of events that make up the Festival Fringe.
Today, British Film Institute video game certification analyst Colm Seeley tells us about (Video) Game Changers which is taking place on Monday 8 April at 6:30pm at the BFI's Reuben Library
Tell us a bit about your event.
The BFI Reuben Library runs a series of fascinating talks on Monday nights, often tied to the current season at the BFI Southbank cinema. They've wanted to do a video games event for ages so they approached the Certification Unit for a collaboration. The audience for the library's talks is eclectic and enthusiastic but not hugely literate in video games so we wanted an event that could highlight some of the most interesting aspects of games for an audience whose main exposure to them might be through advertising or the odd news article. Another focus was creating an event where panellists could talk critically about games in-depth, looking at mechanics, themes, emotional response and broader culture. We hope this will provide a way for a cinema-going audience to engage with games in a way they'll be familiar with from film and equally allow a London Games Festival audience an opportunity to explore ideas that don't get as much airtime in visible games conversations. The panel is stacked with folks with interesting things to say: Julia and Stuart have been exposed to so many of the UK's most interesting games over the past 4 years through their work in the BFI Certification Unit. Alexander has been both a journalist and a developer so can speak about games on micro- and macroscopic levels. Lottie has just enjoyed huge success with Cultist Simulator, a game with such a unique approach to storytelling. I'm compering the event and I can't wait to just join the audience and listen to what these people have to say.
Who is this event for?
There's something in this event for anyone who's interested in games or curious about them. If you've never really engaged with games but want a quick tour of some of the most interesting work from the medium's recent history, you'll leave the event looking to track down a Dreamcast! If you've been entrenched in games for the past 20-25 years then you'll get a chance to revisit and really dig into some iconic titles, hopefully gaining some new perspectives and leaving with plenty of ideas to mull over on the way home.
Why should people come along?
To hear some interesting people talk about some interesting games in a beautiful library.
Why were you keen to be involved in London Games Festival?
I've been attending the London Games Festival since 2016 both officially as part of the BFI and as a regular punter. It's such a vibrant and varied celebration of games and culture; I've discovered so many new experiences and met so many new people through it. We planned the date of the event to coincide with the London Games Festival in the hope that we'd be accepted as part of the Fringe and we're honoured to be a part of it.
What games do you enjoy?
Right now I'm working through Into The Breach on Switch. It's such a perfect distillation of the strategy genre and so much work has gone into making its world and presentation evocative. I'm a big Street Fighter V player as well – an M. Bison main. I entered my first tournament a couple of weeks ago but was immediately eliminated from it, so I'm working towards getting that first win. I was struck by how fun and social the non-tournament matches in the venue were. I play a lot of multiplayer games socially – my friends and I are enjoying Apex Legends and Battlefield V. I'm trying to resurrect interest in Rainbow Six: Siege, though; I've spent most of my adult life hoping for a true successor to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory's Spies vs Mercs mode and Rainbow Six is the best we've got. I've just finished playing through Rise of the Tomb Raider with my partner; we're moving onto What Remains of Edith Finch next.

Althea Altair is one of the most pious spirits I have ever met. She wears her god's colors with pride, remaining firm and unwavering in her devotion. She's the Laethic role model.
I met her in the fall of 2012. The Otherfaith had begun dominating my life, and I took my dedication to the Laetha very seriously. Fittingly, Althea appeared.

Jerry Weintraub Presents…
One of the key players behind the most memorable concert tours of the 1970s, Jerry Weintraub (and Concerts West) recognized the potential for great artists to play for larger audiences and to create one-of-a-kind events.. Weintraub worked with artists such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John Denver, The Carpenters, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Rick James, Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, The Commodores, the Bee Gees, The Moody Blues, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney. To showcase Weintraub's business acumen, moxie, and sense of showmanship during his decades focusing on artist management and concert promotion, the GRAMMY Museum®, with support from the Weintraub Family Foundation, proudly announces Jerry Weintraub Presents…, a new exhibit showcasing original items from Weintraub's most notable tours, including personalized jackets, tour documents, contracts, and more. The exhibit will open on August 15, when Jerry's son, Michael Weintraub, Bob Finkelstein (Former President of Management 3 and Concerts West and Co-Chairman of Frank Sinatra Enterprises), John Meglen (Co-CEO Concerts West), Claire Rothman (General Manager and Vice President of the Forum), Sims Hinds (Tour promoter for John Denver, Neil Diamond, The Eagles and The Beach Boys) and Peter Jackson (Tour Management for The Moody Blues and Eric Clapton) will discuss the stories behind this exhibit moderated by music industry analyst and critic, Bob Lefsetz, at the Clive Davis Theater. The exhibit will run through early December 2019.
- Get Tickets
"Jerry was one of the greats, and he had clout," said Diamond, who has previously had his own GRAMMY Museum exhibit. "After I had taken a hiatus from the music business for four years in the early 1970s, he used that clout as a manager and concert promoter to bring me back into the homes and hearts of my audience via concerts and TV specials. He was great at what he did and he gave me the courage to take on new challenges. It's fitting that the GRAMMY Museum is recognizing him in this way."
Jerry Weintraub Presents… will offer an inside look at how Weintraub, his management company, Management 3 and his partners at Concerts West, forever changed the concert business by taking the presentation of music to a never-before-seen size and scale. Until 1970, the business of presenting concerts was in the hands of regional promoters working in clubs and theaters. Beginning with Elvis Presley's 1970 tour, Weintraub's impact on the concert business allowed audiences to experience music in-person on a grander scale. He moved his artists into large arenas, sports stadiums and other venues never before used for music tours.
Peter Grant, Led Zeppelin's long-time manager, once said, "We take this for granted now, but Weintraub's ability to organize these massive concerts made show business history."
"Jerry Weintraub was a prolific force in the music industry, conceptualizing and creating the arena tours and large-scale concerts that we know and take for granted today," said Michael Sticka, GRAMMY Museum Executive Director. "As a music museum, we look to recognize not just the artists, but those working hard behind the scenes to make art accessible to the public. Many thanks to Jane Weintraub and The Weintraub Family Foundation for letting us feature items from this important moment in music history."
Exhibit highlights include:
- Personalized jackets from some of Weintraub's most notable tours
- Original tour documents and contracts
- Original mock-up artwork of album cover and advertisement designs
- Rare personal photos of Weintraub with his most iconic clients

Project Scope
Ongoing efforts to boost federal funding for information technology (IT) research and development (R&D) reflect a growing consensus on the importance of IT in supporting a broadening array of societal functions. But as IT is increasingly integrated into business, government, and personal applications, many new questions must be answered: Are current IT R&D programs sufficient in scale and scope to support society's increasing reliance on IT systems? Do additional areas of IT research need greater attention? Are existing mechanisms for supporting and conducting IT research well-suited to the kinds of IT research that will be needed in the future? If not, what new organizational structures may be needed?To help answer these questions and help guide future endeavors, the National Science Foundation (NSF) asked CSTB to conduct a study of IT research that would examine ongoing trends in industry and academic research, determine the possible effects of those trends on the well-being of the nation's IT industry and the nation as a whole, and explore options for strengthening the research base. Of particular interest is support for research that advances fundamental understanding of capabilities, architectural designs, and principles that can have a pervasive influence on innovation throughout the IT industry (i.e., "fundamental research") rather than advancing a single product, process, or service (i.e., "applied research"). The project examines promising approaches to filling in gaps in the nation's IT research portfolio and the types of institutional approaches might be the focus of experimentation.

Querying is a long road, y'all. Sometimes it's hard not to get discouraged, to remember that this is a journey and a process. Sometimes you need a little boost.
Well, I got one this morning.
"Not Suitable for Work" WON the Linda Howard Award of Excellence in the "Romantic Sensual and Sizzling" category for 2017! Not only that, the MS has been requested by the judge! I'm so honored and excited, I've been grinning for the past hour and show no signs of stopping.
Break out the whisky and raise a glass!
Skye McDonald is my pen name for the series of novels I've written. Each of the books features its own protagonists, and can be read as a standalone novel; however, this seven-book-and-growing series is the world of a group of friends and family, and you will meet your favorite characters again in supporting roles as you progress through the books.

People Magazine confirmed that Dylan Penn and Robert Pattinson are dating. So this means Rob's not dating his personal trainer, and he's not getting back together with Kristen Stewart. While Dylan is obviously a rebound relationship for him, if he was going to go back to Kristen, he would have done it by now.
So sorry #RobstenUnbroken believers, it's not happening. Maybe in a few years, when both of them have gotten enough time apart and perspective on their time together, but not right now. People's source even states that Rob and Dylan have been dating for a month or two, and he's supposedly 'crazy' about her.
Let's look at the timeline, shall we? Kristen and Rob broke up about four months ago. If Rob started dating Dylan two months ago, he certainly didn't waste any time moving on – and that's not even counting his rumored hookups with Riley Keough and his personal trainer, Sydney Liebes.
Sources close to Kristen claim that she's devastated by the news, but is trying to hold her head up high and move on. She's been keeping herself busy with back-to-back films. She's already wrapped Camp X-Ray and is currently filming Sils Maria, and then she will likely start filming Snow White and the Huntsman 2 within the next few months. But she knows the likelihood of getting back with Rob has dropped, and now that she knows there's no reconciliation in the future, she'll be forced to move on.
So who will Kristen end up moving on with? It'll certainly be interesting if Dylan, Rob, Kristen, and her future boyfriend end up at the same awards ceremonies in the future. I can't imagine the awkwardness that would ensure.
What do you guys think of Rob dating Dylan? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

I am normally not one to get excited about jam. Due to my limited interest and lacking knowledge about jam, I was very intrigued when I found out that the winter village at Bryant Park was featuring a jam stand.
The Jam Stand (kiosk H5) is not your ordinary jam stand with classic yet unoriginal flavors like strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry. This jam stand is way more sophisticated than that. The jams in this stand have magical names, like "Razzy Gabby & a Side of Jalapeno" and "Drunken Monkey." YUM. Guess I'd missed the memo that jam is no longer just that stuff you spread on your English muffins and toast. It's much, much more than that. It's a sauce for your burgers, a topping for your ice cream, or even a filling for your pie.
|Not sure which jam to purchase? Sample multiple flavors.
|These pumpkin bars made with Chai Heart Pumpkin jam were easy to make and a huge hit in the Bryant Park executive office.
Although the Jam Stand doesn't have a store dedicated just to their jars, you can find them throughout the city or currently at the Bryant Park Winter Village. If you don't know what jar to get, I'd suggest getting one in every flavor.

With Experian's data append services we can provide you with important demographic
and behavioral information about your customers so you can segment your marketing
lists and know who to target for new customers.
Knowing about your best customers is a key factor in targeted direct marketing.
Knowing the customers' basic demographics, such as males 18 to 34 or females with
children, is a start. However, a more complete understanding of your customer's profile
like their shopping and purchasing behavior in other categories; their attitudes
toward trends, products, marketing and media; or their lifestyle habits can help you
become even more effective in both your lead selection and the messages you'll use
in communicating with the leads.
It's practically impossible to overstate the importance of direct mailing lists
to the success of your direct mail program. The correct mailing list will contain
your most valuable prospects. The more careful you are in analyzing and selecting
direct mailing lists, the better your chances for success. There are several different
categories of mailing lists available on the market today ranging in cost and appropriateness
for your market. When you are considering what type of mailing list to buy consider
the following three types:
• Specialized
lists - Identify your target audience based on specific life events, buying power
and lifestyle interests.
• Custom
Mailing List - Use hundreds of points to define the exact audience you want
to reach.
Once you have a mailing list it is time to create your direct mail message. The
direct mail piece you create delivers your message. The piece represents who and what
you are. Make it consistent with what you're selling. If you are offering a high-quality
professional service, your direct mail piece needs to reflect that quality.

Guys, I've finally done it! I have finally ended my year-long Booktube hiatus!
The 2 videos I uploaded this weekend look very amateur-ish because I filmed them on my phone, with no lighting other than my window. So yeah, sorry about that.
But I have ordered some lighting things from Amazon and it should arrive by the end of the week 😀 Hurray!
This is something kind of new for me, and I'm just trying it out to see what it's like. So if you could like and subscribe I would love you forever!
I think this would be a great extension to my blog and it seems like a lot of fun, so why not give it a go, right?
Any kind of support from you guys would be epic! Whether it's a thumbs up, subscribe, comment, tweet… anything at all!
I really appreciate all the support you guys have given me this past year on my blog (I can't believe I've been blogging for that long!) and just because I'm re-starting my Booktube channel, it does NOT mean that I'll stop blogging here! 😀 I could never leave my humble little corner of the internet and all my blogging friends!
I will be posting a Newbie Tag video at some point today (by the time you read this the video might already be up), so keep an eye out for that!
This is super exciting!
See you all on Booktube!

Student Intern Program
The Nursery Intern program at OSU is designed for students interested in ornamental crop production. The program focuses on research methods for solving common nursery related problems.
We accept students from throughout the U.S. and around the world. We accept only the most ambitious students. The intern program challenges students to think creatively and develop problem solving skills.
There are two primary learning objectives for this program. First, to improve research skills by developing experiments to solve common production problems in Oregon nurseries. Second, to develop communication skills by helping students with written and oral presentations about nursery related issues.
We work closely with nurseries throughout Oregon. We identify production problems, then develop experiments to provide practical solutions to those problems. Examples of research conducted by student interns include:
Applied research has no value unless the results can be effectively communicated to others. This internship program will improve student communication skills in one or more of the following ways:
Quick facts about the program:
Primary instructor: Dr. Jim Owen
Location: Aurora, Oregon (20 miles south of Portland)
Duration of internship: 3 to 18 months
Time of internship: year round, although most interns are hired for the summer growing season. Special consideration will be given to students who want to work during the months of February - May.
Education: for U.S. students, you must be enrolled in a college or university with plans to continue classes after completing the internship.
For international students, you must be enrolled in or have completed a college or university program equivalent to a Bachelor of Science in the U.S.
Pay: students work 40 hours/week, and are paid for each hour of work. Pay is based on experience.
For more information on this internship program, email Dr. James Altland

Get your brain fit--and your body will follow!
Conventional wisdom has always been that in order to lose weight, you need to eat less and move more. But skyrocketing obesity rates tell us that it's not that simple. If you really want to get in shape and stay that way, you need to start at the top--with your brain.
The latest research in neuroscience shows that the brains of overweight people are different than the brains of lean people--and not in a good way. Yet,… (more)

Happy Wednesday!
Today I bring to you a recipe that encompasses the true meaning of veganizing a recipe! A classic comfort food like a tuna melt made vegan for all of us to savor! For this recipe I used one of my favorite vegan products, vegan toona. I buy mine at my local whole foods but I will add a link to buy online as well. It is definitely the best "fake" animal product that I have tried. This recipe is easily customizable and doesn't take much time. Perfect for a yummy lunch or snack!
Let's get into the recipe!
- 4 slices of your favorite gluten-free bread
- 1 can of vegan toona
- 3 tablespoons of vegan mayo
- 1/2 of an avocado
- 1/2 cup of vegan shredded cheese
- 1 or 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- *optional* 3 tablespoons of alfalfa sprouts
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- First, let's start off by making our "tuna" mixture. Drain one can of vegan toona and add it into a small mixing bowl with your mayo, avocado and seasoning. Mash together until everything is well combined.
- Brush your slices of bread with olive oil and place them in a large skillet on medium heat to brown.
- Slice your tomato into thin rounds and set aside until your bread is golden brown.
- Once your bread has crisped up a bit it is time to assemble! Lay your bread on a baking sheet and spread a generous amount of your "tuna" mixture onto the bread.
- Next add on your shredded cheese and alfalfa sprouts.
- Top with a tomato slice and a tiny drizzle of balsamic vinegar and place your toasts in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

6. Discussion and Findings
Paragraph 15(a) of the Rules instructs the Panel to "decide a complaint on the basis of the statements and documents submitted in accordance with the Policy, these Rules and any rules and principles of law that it deems applicable."
In view of Respondent's failure to submit a formal Response, the Panel shall decide this administrative proceeding on the basis of Complainant's undisputed representations pursuant to paragraphs 5(e), 14(a) and 15(a) of the Rules and shall draw such inferences it considers appropriate pursuant to paragraph 14(b) of the Rules.
Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy requires that Complainant must prove each of the following three elements to obtain an order that the disputed domain name should be cancelled or transferred:
(i) The disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which Complainant has rights; and
(ii) Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name; and
(iii) The disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
A. Identical or Confusingly Similar
Complainant has established that it owns prior rights in the HOWDENS mark and that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant's HOWDENS mark.
Complainant owns at least one trademark registration incorporating the HOWDENS mark, United Kingdom Registration No. 2335346. The relevant priority date for this registration (i.e., July 30, 2004) precedes the date upon which the disputed domain name was registered (i.e., February 3, 2011).
Complainant has also established that it had secured common law trademark rights in HOWDENS, prior to the date <howdenskitchen.info> domain name was registered (see The Carphone Warehouse Limited and The Phone House B.V. v. Navigation Catalyst Systems, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2008-0483). For over 17 years, Complainant has been using the HOWDENS mark in association with the sale and manufacture of kitchen and kitchen related products. Using the HOWDENS mark, Complainant has sold nearly £850 million worth of merchandise, including 3.6 million kitchen cabinets, 2 million doors and 400,000 complete kitchens. Complainant's commercial customer base is approximately 250,000. Accordingly, the Panel concludes that Complainant established common law trademark rights in HOWDENS prior to the date the disputed domain name was registered, pursuant to paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy.
The disputed domain name, <howdenskitchens.info>, is confusingly similar to Complainant's HOWDENS trademark because the disputed domain name incorporates the entirety of Complainant's HOWDENS trademark, and then merely tacks on a descriptive term (i.e., "kitchens") and the top-level ".info" domain suffix. Neither the addition of a purely descriptive term to a well-known mark nor the addition of a generic top-level domain suffix is sufficient to create a distinct domain name capable of overcoming a proper claim of confusing similarity (see Arthur Guinness Son & Co. (Dublin) Limited v. Tim Healy / BOSTH, WIPO Case No. D2001-0026 (finding confusing similarity where the domain name contains the identical mark of complainant combined with a generic word or term); Sony Kabushiki Kaisha (also trading as Sony Corporation) v. Inja, Kil, WIPO Case No. D2000-1409 (finding that "[n]either the addition of an ordinary descriptive word […] nor the suffix ".com" detract from the overall impression of the dominant part of the name in each case, namely the trademark SONY") and thus Policy, paragraph 4(a)(i) is satisfied.
The addition of the descriptive term "kitchens" directly in front of Complainant's HOWDENS mark is insufficient to avoid a finding of confusing similarity.
The Panel therefore finds that Complainant has proven the requirement of Policy, paragraph 4(a)(i).
B. Rights or Legitimate Interests
The Panel finds that Respondents have no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name.
Respondents have failed to file a formal Response, which can suggest, in appropriate circumstances, that Respondents lack rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name (see Cliff Greenhouse / Keith Greenhouse and Pavillion Agency, Inc. v. Glenn Greenhouse and Greenhouse Agency Ltd.,, WIPO Case No. D2000-1221 (finding that the respondent's failure to respond in a UDRP proceeding can be construed, in appropriate circumstances, as an admission that it has no rights or legitimate interests in a domain name).
By not filing a formal Response, Respondents have not provided any evidence that they are commonly known by the disputed domain name, or that they are commonly known by any name consisting of, or incorporating the words "howdens", "kitchens" or any combination of these words. In Charles Jourdan Holding AG v. AAIM, WIPO Case No. D2000-0403, the panel held that a lack of rights or legitimate interests could be found where (1) the respondent is not a licensee of the complainant; (2) the complainant's rights in its related trademarks precede the respondent's registration of the domain name; and (3) the respondent is not commonly known by the domain name in question. The Panel notes that by not submitting a formal Response, Respondents also failed to provide any evidence that they are a licensee of Complainant or that their acquisition of the disputed domain name predates the establishment of Complainant's rights in its HOWDENS mark.
Complainant has provided unrebutted evidence showing that Respondents have operated several different websites at <howdenskitchens.info> featuring click-through opportunities to websites operated by Complainant's competitors. Accordingly, the Panel concludes Respondents were using the disputed domain name in association with a website that competed directly with Complainant's business interests. Furthermore, it is likely that Respondents received click-through fees each time an Internet user accessed the website at <howdenskitchens.info> and clicked on any of the numerous options available. The use of another's well-known trademark for the purpose of deriving this type of commercial benefit is evidence that respondent has no right or legitimate interest in the domain name.
Complainant has also provided unrebutted evidence showing that Respondents have operated a website at <howdenskitchens.info> featuring Complainant's HOWDENS mark and related Logo. The unauthorized use of Complainant's trademark is evidence that Respondents do not have rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name (see Accor and Soluxury HMC v. Yu Gang, WIPO Case No. D20121593 "[i]nfringement of another's trademark or service mark can never create rights or legitimate interests in a corresponding domain name").
To the extend Respondents are now operating a passive website at the URL address for the disputed domain name, the maintenance of a passive website is further evidence that Respondents do not have rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name (see Riot Games Inc. v. Michael Brown, WIPO Case No. D2012-1516,"[i]n the Panel's view, Respondent's failure to develop an active website corresponding to the disputed domain name is evidence supporting the conclusion that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name").
The Panel therefore finds that Complainant has proven the requirement of Policy, paragraph 4(a)(ii).
C. Registered and Used in Bad Faith
The Panel finds that Respondents registered and are using the disputed domain name in bad faith.
Currently, Respondents appear to maintain the disputed domain name as a passive website. Given the circumstances of this case, this is evidence that Respondents registered and are using the disputed domain name in bad faith (see Alitalia-Linee Aeree Italiane S.p.A v. Colour Digital, WIPO Case No. D2000-1260, finding bad faith where respondent made no use of the domain name in question and there are no other indications that respondent could have registered and used the domain name in question for any non-infringing purpose; Red Bull GmbH v. Harold Gutch, WIPO Case No. D2000-0766, finding that respondent's expected use of the domain name <redbull.org> would lead people to believe that the domain name was connected with complainant, and thus is the equivalent to bad faith use).
Even though not conclusive, further indication of bad faith registration and use is the attempt by the previous domain name holder to sell the <howdenskitchens.info> disputed domain name to Complainant for USD 1,000, an amount exceeding the cost incurred by the previous domain name holder to register and maintain the disputed domain name. This attempt to sell the disputed domain name, containing a well-known trademark of another, for profit in excess of costs associated with the registration of the domain name is further evidence of bad faith registration and use under paragraph 4(b)(i) of the Policy.
The Panel also finds that Respondents' prior use of the disputed domain name <howdenskitchens.com> to provide click-through opportunities and the use of Complainant's HOWDENS mark on the corresponding website were attempts by Respondents to intentionally attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to Respondents' website by creating a likelihood of confusion with Complainant's HOWDENS mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of Respondents' website. This established activity is a direct violation of paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy, and is evidence of bad faith registration and use.
The Panel therefore finds that Complainant has proven the requirement of Policy, paragraph 4(a)(iii).
7. Decision
For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the disputed domain name <howdenskitchens.info> be transferred to Complainant.

Printing the Paper Copy
Negative or Positive, Mirrored or Not Mirrored
We need to determine if the paper copy should be the negative (color inverted) or positive (color not inverted) of the layer's digital image. The PCB process leaves copper in the unexposed areas (i.e. the black ink areas on the filim = copper areas on the PCB) so we ultimately want the film to be the positive of our digital layer. Although, the film takes the negative image of the paper during the transition from paper to film. Thus, we want to print a negative image on paper so the film will show the positive.
We also want to make sure that when we expose the top and bottom layers everything lines up. This means we need to print the the top layer as a regular image and the bottom layer as a mirrored image.
Creating Files to Print
To create a SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) of a schematic in KiCad open Pcbnew and select File -> Export SVG. Next, select the front copper layer (F.Cu) or back copper layer (B.Cu). If you are converting the front copper layer do not mirror the image, but if you are printing the back copper layer, select "Print mirrored". Once you've chosen a location to save the files (the "Output Directory") select plot for each layer with the appropriate settings.
Now, with your SVG files saved somewhere accessible we'll want to create negatives of the images. Unfortunately, printing a PNG or SVG of a negative can be surprisingly troublesome. The main issue is that a PNG or SVG contains black, white, and transparent regions and the transparent areas, which print as white, will not turn black when creating a negative image. The fix is to print the PNG or SVG on top of a black rectangle the size of your PCB. To do this we'll use a program like photoshop, GIMP, or Inkscape to create two digital layers, one top layer with the PCB schematic and one bottom layer with a black rectangle.
(Both GIMP and Inkscape can be found on the "Hank" computer in the APL or downloaded for free, in this tutorial we'll use Inkscape)
Open Inkscape and select File -> Open..., find your SVG images and select "Open". Once you're schematic is loaded we'll want to add the SVG images to a layer. First create a blank layer by selecting Layer -> Add Layer.. then click Add. Now, use the mouse tool to click and drag a selection box around you're schematic. Once you have everything in your schematic selected right click somewhere in the selection box and click "Move to layer ...". Select the layer you just created and click "Move". This will enable you to create a second layer below your schematic layer and draw a black background. Now, create a new layer the same way we created the first layer but in the popup menu select "Position: Below current". Open the Layers... meun by pressing Shift+Ctrl+L and select your first layer (the one with your schematic). Next click Extensions -> Color -> Negative to create a negative image. You'll notice that most of the detail in your schematic disappears. To get this detail back, select your second layer and use the "Create rectangles and squares" tool (make sure black is selected from the row of colors at the bottom of the screen) to draw a large black rectangle around you circuit. To avoid wasting ink don't fill the entire page with the black rectangle, just fill the area of the page that contains the PCB schematic. When you're finished if everything went correctly the areas of the board we want to be copper should be white and everything else should be black.
Finally, you'll want to create a PDF or PNG copy of your SVG negatives. This can be done in Inkscape by changing the settings in File -> Save As... section. This PDF or PNG can be emailed to the UO ["Campus Copy"] to be printed with a high resolution printer on fine photo paper. Alternatively, if you have access to one, a 1200 dpi printer will be sufficient.

Monty the penguin went to the park
He thought he'd try out this parkrun lark
So sad and lonely at Christmas time
Surely better to get out than head back to the wine
He'd tried a website called "plenty of fish"
Sounded good to Monty as he might find a dish
as well as a bird for Christmas day
But he had no luck, no one to play
The park was busy, with lots of folk
Dressed in outfits, all having a joke
But sadly no penguins, no chance to elope
He waddled about and looked in dismay
At Elfs and Santas straight off the sleigh
Presents, Giraffes, Dogs, all going to waste
none of them suited to Monty's fine taste
Nine of clock came, and running began
What's this? A penguin, no it's clearly a man
Dressed up as Groucho in a Dinner Suit
Smelling surprisingly pleasant – he was not wearing Brut!
Now as things go, and this may sound lame
But you have to make do, and Nick was fair game
They started to run, Monty's giving it a try
But his heart wasn't in it, and he felt he might cry
They ran arm in arm, it didn't feel right
If this was the day, then gawd help the night
But then, just as they reached the top of the lake
There was a noise that made Monty shake...
Monty turned around, what could it be?
A heavenly voice, calling for thee?
Groucho halted, felt like he'd been thumped
In the chest as he was instantly dumped
A beautiful pingwin, by the name of Mabel
Had Monty instantly under her spell
That pretty cute beak, you could instantly tell
Monty was dumbstruck and he nearly fell
They were together forever, no need for words
You know how it is – Black and White with these birds
Anyway, Mabel was panting from running so hard
To catch up with Monty who had a head start
Second time though woods, after the tree there's a bush
For something happened but I need to keep shush
An immaculate conception, a pardon to beg
As Monty suddenly has to care for an egg!
What wonderful good fortune this morning did bring
Dangerous conditions to carry hatchling
Monty knew if he was careful, he would be just fine
He stopped off to put on an "Egg on Board" sign
The runners were lovely, they gave us wide berth
Some of them laughed, joined in with the mirth
We passed the lake, Mabel wanted to eat
"Plenty of Fish" she said, not very discreet
Monty kept going, not wanting to disclose
His Web Browser history – it may come to blows
If Mabel discovered he'd been viewing lows
on lots of profiles of Penguins wearing not many clothes
The third lap just happened, then egg went a bit dark
It started to shake, and a dog started to bark
Monty and Mabel looked down on the ground
A beautiful baby Penguin, no longer egg-bound
Monty and Mabel were delighted to find
That egg not only could walk but could run just behind
As they proudly paraded on their last lap
To the whoops and cheers, but they fell into his trap
Monty and Mabel heard a faint rumble
They thought that baby might have taken a tumble
But no, Baby Penguin had started to fly
Straight past other runners and into the funnel
So that was a tale of how this parkrun
Lark can change lives, and it's really great fun
Thank you for listening, and a message from me
Have a Merry Christmas, that's it – I'm done, really.
Thanks also to the wonderful Trefor Beese for the photos.

Kevin Hillstrom on (Web) Analytics
- July 30, 2010
- Scott
- 1 Comments
I know Kevin's article was targeted at web analytics, rather than, more generally, business analytics – but the points he makes are entirely valid for business analytics – and business process analytics:
We analyzed each promotion code, using "A/B" test panels. Customers were randomly selected from the population, and then assigned to one of two test panels. The first test panel received the promotion, the second test panel did not receive the promotion. […]
In almost all cases, the segment receiving the promotion generated more profit than the control segment. […]
Being a huge fan of "A/B" testing, I decided to try something different. I asked my circulation team to choose two customer groups at random from our housefile. One group would receive promotions for the next six months, if the customer was eligible to receive the promotion. The other group would not receive a single promotion for the next six months. At the end of the six month test period, we would determine which strategy yielded the most profit.
At the end of six months, we observed a surprising outcome. The test group that received no promotions spent the exact same amount of money that the group receiving all promotions spent. After calculating the profitability of each test group, it was obvious that Eddie Bauer was making a significant mistake. […]
In 1999, we backed off of almost all of our housefile promotions. At the end of 1999, the website/catalog division enjoyed the most profitable year in the history of the business.
This is a classic cautionary tale for anyone measuring business processes and looking for improvements. In process improvement, often an efficiency gain comes at the cost of customer satisfaction – which is why many businesses now manage to a "double bottom line" or use extremely customer-focused culture to counter-act that tendency. In the case above, they're looking at how incentives shape behavior. The thought process is equally valid for customers as it is for internal staff incentives. Do the incentives actually drive better behavior or just more short-term-optimized behavior?
Kevin goes on to recommend several remedies, most of which revolve around having a longer term view of things. Well. Imagine that. Good read.
