Synergy (from the Greek synergos, συνεργός meaning working together, circa 1660) refers to the phenomenon in which two or more discrete influences or agents acting together create an effect greater than that predicted by knowing only the separate effects of the individual agents. It is originally a scientific term. Often (but not always, see Toxicologic synergy, below) the prediction is the sum of the effects each is able to create independently. The opposite of synergy is antagonism, the phenomenon where two agents in combination have an overall effect that is less than that predicted from their individual effects.
The Apostle Paul used the word in his Epistles (Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 3:9) to illustrate a dynamic conception of human, divine and cosmic cooperation: "I did the planting, Apollos the watering, but God made things grow…We are fellow workers (synergoi) with God; you are God's cultivation, God's building." In religious contexts, synergism stems from the 1657 theological doctrine that humans cooperate with the Divine Grace in regeneration.[1]
The term is widely used today in diverse contexts including business, media, medicine, chemistry, social interaction, and others.
Synergy generally means:
The opposite of synergy is antagonism, the phenomenon where two agents in combination have an overall effect that is less than that predicted from their individual effects.
Synergy usually arises when two persons with different complementary skills or characters or competencies cooperate. A prime example is the cooperation and relationship between man and woman. Men and women generally have different characteristics, sensitivities, and other psychological traits. However, out of their reciprocal relationship, their combined love and care enables them to support each other and raise children. In business, teamwork amongst members of an organization, or between different organizations, can yield greater results than would have been possible otherwise.
In an academic environment, mutual cooperation and interaction amongst researchers can yield new perspectives and insights. In particular, this type of synergy can be powerful when academics from different disciplines come together to reach an innovative solution or conceive a new paradigm of thought.
Corporate synergy occurs when corporations interact congruently. A corporate synergy refers to a financial benefit that a corporation expects to realize when it merges with or acquires another corporation. This type of synergy is a nearly ubiquitous feature of a corporate acquisition and is a negotiating point between the buyer and seller that impacts the final price both parties agree to. There are two distinct types of corporate synergies:
A revenue synergy refers to the opportunity of a combined corporate entity to generate more revenue than its two predecessor standalone companies would be able to generate. For example, if company A sells product X through its sales force, company B sells product Y, and company A decides to buy company B then the new company could use each sales person to sell products X and Y thereby increasing the revenue that each sales person generates for the company. By implementing quality circles we can feel the effect of synergy.
A cost synergy refers to the opportunity of a combined corporate entity to reduce or eliminate expenses associated with running a business. Cost synergies are realized by eliminating positions that are viewed as duplicate within the merged entity. Examples include the head quarters office of one of the predecessor companies, certain executives, the human resources department, or other employees of the predecessor companies. This is related to the economic concept of Economies of Scale.
Synergy can also be defined as the combination of human and computer capabilities. Computers can process data much faster than humans, but lack common sense. Thus, the development of computer programs and systems must take into account user-friendliness and other aspects. For example, databases or web-based information sources are usually developed by information scientists and information technology engineers; information scientists establish the conceptual aspects of the information retrieval system architecture and information technology engineers then generate the appropriate system. This type of synergy between humans and computers allows for smooth information flow and efficient information retrieval.
Synergy in media economics, is the promotion and sale of a product (and all its versions) throughout the various subsidiaries of a media conglomerate[2] (e.g. film and soundtrack and video game). Walt Disney pioneered synergistic marketing techniques in the 1930s by granting dozens of firms the right to use his Mickey Mouse character in products and ads, and continued to market Disney media through licensing arrangements. These products can help advertise the film itself and thus help to increase the film's sales. For example, the Spider-Man films had toys of webshooters and figures of the characters made, as well as posters and games.
Drug synergism occurs when drugs can interact in ways that enhance or magnify one or more effects, or side effects, of those drugs. This is sometimes exploited in combination preparations, such as Codeine mixed with Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen to enhance the action of codeine as a pain reliever. This is often seen with recreational drugs, where 5-HTP, a Serotonin precursor often used as an antidepressant, is often used prior to, during, and shortly after recreational use of MDMA as it allegedly increases the "high" and decreases the "comedown" stages of MDMA use (although most anecdotal evidence has pointed to 5-HTP moderately muting the effect of MDMA). Other examples include the use of Cannabis with LSD, where the active chemicals in cannabis enhance the hallucinatory experience of LSD-use.
An example of negative effects of synergy is if more than one depressant drug is used that affects the Central Nervous System (CNS), for example alcohol and Valium. The combination can cause a greater reaction than simply the sum of the individual effects of each drug if they were used separately. In this particular case, the most serious consequence of drug synergy is exaggerated respiratory depression, which can be fatal if left untreated.
Pest synergy, for example, would occur in a biological host organism population, where the introduction of parasite A may cause ten percent fatalities of the individuals, and parasite B may also cause ten percent loss. When both parasites are present, the losses are observed to be significantly greater than the expected 20 percent, and it is said that the parasites in combination have a synergistic effect. An example is beekeeping in North America where three foreign parasites of the honeybee, acarine mite, tracheal mite and the small hive beetle, all were introduced within a short period of time.
Toxicologic synergy is of concern to the public and regulatory agencies because chemicals individually considered safe might pose unacceptable health or ecological risk when exposure is to a combination. Articles in scientific and lay journals include many definitions of chemical or toxicologic synergy, often vague or in conflict with each other. Because toxic interactions are defined relative to the expectation under "no interaction," a determination of synergy (or antagonism) depends on what is meant by "no interaction." The United States Environmental Protection Agency has one of the more detailed and precise definitions of toxic interaction, designed to facilitate risk assessment. In their guidance documents, the no-interaction default assumption is dose addition, so synergy means a mixture response that exceeds that predicted from dose addition. The EPA emphasizes that synergy does not always make a mixture dangerous, nor does antagonism always make the mixture safe; each depends on the predicted risk under dose addition—synergy has a greater effect in quality circles
For example, a consequence of pesticide use is the risk of health effects. During the registration of pesticides in the US exhaustive tests are performed to discern health effects on humans at various exposure levels. A regulatory upper limit of presence in foods is then placed on this pesticide. As long as residues in the food stay below this regulatory level, health effects are deemed highly unlikely and the food is considered safe to consume.
However in normal agal practice it is rare to use only a single pesticide. During the production of a crop several different materials may be used. Each of them has had determined a regulatory level at which they would be considered individually safe. In many cases, a commercial pesticide is itself a combination of several chemical agents, and thus the safe levels actually represent levels of the mixture. In contrast, combinations created by the end user, such as a farmer, are rarely tested as that combination. The potential for synergy is then unknown or estimated from data on similar combinations. This lack of information also applies to many of the chemical combinations to which humans are exposed, including residues in food, indoor air contaminants, and occupational exposures to chemicals. Some groups think that the rising rates of cancer, asthma and other health problems may be caused by these combination exposures; others have differing explanations. This question will likely be answered only after years of exposure by the population in general and research on chemical toxicity, usually performed on animals.

Unfortunately I couldn't get a very good photo of it, probably because it's dark, or maybe because my photography skills are not up to much! It's not quite as dark as it looks in the picture.

This is the first "just for the sake of it" ATC I've done in ages. The background is heated acrylic paint and metallic rub-on. The heart is freehand embossed on aluminium and I've coloured it using alcohol inks and sanded it for a distressed look. I've added a heart gem and some mesh, and the word "passion" which is stamped into Friendly Plastic.

Today is Deborah Kerr's birthday (September 30, 1921 – October 16, 2007), then Happy Birthday to her! ❤
Tag Archives: Deborah Kerr
Quote (11)
"When you're young, you just go banging about, but you're more sensitive as you grow older. You have higher standards of what's really good; you're fearful that you wont live up to what's expected of you"
– Deborah Kerr

Give a look on this adorable photograph of Deborah Kerr to start this week very well! 😉
Drama In The 50's
Hello Darlings!! Today will be a Dramatic day…
Calm down! I'm talking about the movie genre of today: DRAMA.
I have to confess this is one of my favorite genres because I love watching a good drama (I'm also a fan of Mexican soap operas!!). Then I will give you some options of drama movies of 50's and I hope you enjoy some of them (or all of them!).
To start, lets see some scenes of a movie which was recognized as one of the greatest classic movies from Hollywood and was selected to preservation by Congress Library from USA: "All About Eve" (1950), starring Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders and Celeste Holm – with an apparition of Marilyn Monroe:
Another big movie of 1950 is "Sunset Boulevard", starring William Holden and Gloria Swanson, directed by Billy Wilder. This movie also won some awards: 03 Academy Awards (Best Art direction – Black and white; Best Soundtrack and Best Screenplay); 04 Golden Globe Awards (Best Movie – Drama; Best Director; Best Actress – Drama [Gloria Swanson] and Best Soundtrack); and 01 Bodil Award [Dinamarca] in the category Best American Movie.
Talking about William Holden, he acted in the movie of 1953, "Stalag 17", also directed by Billy Wilder, which is considered one of the best movies about POW camp in the World War II.
He also acted beside Grace Kelly (*-*) and Bing Crosby in the movie "The Country Girl" (1954), which was indicated to seven awards and won in the categories "Best Actress" (Grace Kelly) and "Best Screenplay".
In 1956 was produced an adaptation based on the work by Leon Tolstói, "War and Peace", starring Audrey Hepburn, Mel Ferrer and Henry Fonda. The movie was a co-production between USA and Italy. It received some nominations in the Academy Awards and BAFTA, others in the Golden Globe Awards, winning in the category "Best Foreign Movie" and it won two awards in Italy in the categories "Best Scenography" and "Best Soundtrack". In my opinion, it should have won the awards for "Best Photography" and "Best Costume" because these two items are very beautiful and outstanding in the movie… Give a look in some publicity pictures:
About this kind of Drama, involving War and a little [or a lot!] of Romance, there is a movie of 1953 very famous especially by a kiss scene… Do you remember? "From Here To Eternity", starring Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr and Frank Sinatra, and having Pearl Harbor like background. This movie won several awards, including: 08 Academy Awards, 02 Golden Globe Awards, 01 BAFTA, 03 NYFCC Awards and 01 special award in Cannes Festival. Look the famous scene that I said:
In 1957, Deborah Kerr appeared in a romantic but also dramatic movie beside Cary Grant: "An Affair To Remember" (one of my favorites!), which shows a romance in a cruise and it was a remake of "Love Affair" (1939), movie directed by the same director Leo McCarey. It also inspired the movie "Sleepless in Seattle" (1993). See the trailer:
In 1958, Alfred Hitchcock directed the movie considered as his masterpiece: "Vertigo", starring James Stewart and Kim Novak. In this movie have Drama, Romance and, of course, Thriller:
Returning to Audrey Hepburn, in 1959, she acted in "The Nun's Story", directed by Fred Zinnemann, this movie was indicated for several categories in the Academy Awards and, unfortunately, it didn't win any one. For me, as Audrey's fan, in this movie she did one of her best performances as Sister Luke.
To conclude, there is one actor who did his carreer on the 50's and, in special, in drama movies: James Dean. Like I said in another post, he acted in 07 movies (in 04 of them, he wasn't credited), between 1951 and 1956. So his movies were:
- 1955 – "East of Eden", a rereading of the biblical History of Caim and Abel / "Rebel Without a Cause", which shows a teenager revolted with his family;
- 1956 – "Giant", also starring Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson, it showed the racial intolerance.
So, this is it, I hope you enjoy! See you soon!! 🙂

Making Peace with Food Workshop
Mark your calendars: on Saturday, March 10 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, Sharon Cohen (naturopath) and I (Dr. Julia Di Nardo) will be co-hosting a workshop entitled…
"Making Peace with Food"
The focus of this seminar is our relationship with food and how it impacts our eating habits. Our beliefs and feelings about food are often deeply rooted in childhood memories or other core experiences. It is important to address the emotional and spiritual aspects of our lives in order to truly nourish ourselves. Combining the principles of nutritional awareness, personal growth, and body awareness, Making Peace with Food provides practical methods for redefining the role food plays in our lives. Many people have conflicting feelings around food rather than nourishing ones. Most of us are no longer sure what, when or how much is appropriate to eat. This seminar addresses this challenge by encouraging us to observe how both our thoughts and food choices affect our bodies and emotions. It reveals how our attitude to food reflects our attitude to life itself. We will inquire into the spiritual hunger in all of us and if food can actually satiate this hunger. Making Peace with Food is about how to eat rather than what to eat. Students come away from the seminar with a transformed perspective on mind, body and soul nourishment.
When: Saturday, March 10, 1:00 – 4:00 PM
Where: Clinique Psy-Sante, 3943 boul. St-Jean, Suite 201
Cost: $45, which includes nutritious snacks. Feel free to bring a friend!
Schedule and outline:
1:00 to 2:00: presentation by Julia Di Nardo
2:00 to 2:30: break, light refreshments provided
2:30 to 3:30: presentation by Sharon Cohen
3:30 to 4:00: Q&A session

Hi There!
Friend of mine has a Melody Astro 22 Black integrated amp which operates with 2 pairs of 2A3's in a PushPull fashion.
His amp is rated for 2 times 18 watts at 1% THD.
He wants to upgrade his Sovtek 2A3's with EML's but it's not clear if he can use both the MESH as the SolidPlate plate version.
Is it more save to use the solidplate version because it can operate at higher output levels in PP than the MESH version?
Thanks in advance

FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Franklin College softball team made it three straight wins on Friday (Apr. 13) afternoon, sweeping a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) twin bill against Bluffton University at Behrens Field.
The Grizzlies (19-5, 6-2 HCAC) erupted for a four-run sixth inning in game one that proved to be the difference in a 5-1 win. Another big inning proved to be the catalyst for game two's win, as Franklin plated eight runs in the fourth on their way to a 9-0 win over the Beavers (7-18, 2-6 HCAC) in five innings.
For the second straight double-header, the Grizzly pitching staff flexed their muscles with two shutdown performances against a potent Bluffton offense. Olivia Paszek and Kayla Selzer combined to yield just seven over 12 innings of play on Friday.
Game One: Franklin 5 – Bluffton 1
Bluffton plated their lone run of the day in the top of the first but the Grizzlies would erase the early deficit when a throwing error allowed Monica Collins to score in the bottom of the first to tie the game.
Franklin would manage just two hits over the next four innings and sat tied heading into the sixth. Two batters into the inning, Franklin had the lead for the first time Friday when Alexis Tarver doubled home Lexi Gaffney. Two batters later, the lead stretched to three when a Bluffton throwing error allowed two more runners to score. Danielle Wyse would close out the scoring with a two-out RBI single, plating Shelby Mager.
Olivia Paszek (11-1) was brilliant in the circle, allowing four hits and striking out 10 batters. It was the second straight double-digit strikeout game for the Franklin-native and third game with at least 10 punch-outs this year.
Game Two: Franklin 9 – Bluffton 0 (5 inn.)
Natalie Weber got the Grizzlies on the board in the bottom of the first, bringing home Gaffney with a sacrifice fly. Two scoreless innings would follow for the Grizzlies before the offense put the game out of reach in the fourth.
Grace Paszek doubled the FC lead two batters into the fourth, scoring Justice Carmichael with an RBI double. Lauren Huebler would take over as a pinch runner and score after back-to-back wild pitches.
Collins would add an RBI single later in the inning and Gaffney would follow with a sac fly to make it 5-0. Tarver would add two more to the score with a long home run and two batters later, Carmichael launched a two-run blast of her own over the center field wall for her first career round-tripper.
It proved to be plenty of support for Selzer (8-3), who allowed three hits and struck out one on her way to a second consecutive shutout.
The Grizzlies look to keep it rolling on Wednesday (Apr. 18), when they head north for a pair of games against the Anderson Ravens. First pitch from Anderson, Ind. is set for 3:30 p.m.

The Mean Ol' Schoolmarm Moment of the day is…
Your vs. You're
Your: Possessive adjective. Belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing.
You're: Contraction of "you are."
These two words are often swapped incorrectly, most commonly with "your" being incorrectly used in place of "you're."
Correct: What is your address?
Incorrect: What is you're address?
Correct: You're the kindest person I know.
Incorrect: Your the kindest person I know.
Correct: I can't believe what you're up to.
Incorrect: I can't believe what your up to.
Your = Says something belongs to or is associated with you.
You're = You are.

I'm enjoying my last bit of non-recycled air before I head to Las Vegas and CES. But I look at it this way: I'm going so you don't have to.
Intel insists chip vulnerabilities aren't slowing its roadmap
As bad as the massive chip vulnerability is, Intel insists it has things well in hand, both for current products and for its future chips.
What they're saying: Two top Intel executives tell Axios that the company has "complete mitigations for all three variants" of the known vulnerabilities and it won't see delays for future chips even as it works to include stronger protections against the recently discovered issues.
"We don't see those as presenting a significant challenge in terms of being able to deliver those products," VP Donald Parker says in the interview.
- CEO Brian Krzanich is drawing renewed scrutiny for his personal stock sales last year, having sold millions of dollars in shares after Intel was notified in June by Google of the vulnerabilities.
- Google said that it has been implementing a fix on its own servers and that "on most of our workloads, including our cloud infrastructure, we see negligible impact on performance." Microsoft made similar comments based on updates it did for its Azure cloud OS..
- Apple finally acknowledged that the flaws affect both the Mac and IOS operating systems and laid out how it is addressing the issues.
Zuckerberg's 2018 challenge: Do what he should have been doing all along
Mark Zuckerberg issued his "personal challenge" for the year, pledging to address some of the sharpest criticisms of the social network.
"The world feels anxious and divided, and Facebook has a lot of work to do — whether it's protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent," he writes in a Facebook post. "My personal challenge for 2018 is to focus on fixing these important issues."
Icy reception: Plenty of people pointed out that his big challenge for the year amounts to him doing what he should have been doing all along.
- "Zuckerberg's 2018 personal challenge for himself is...doing the work he should be doing as Facebook CEO anyway," Vanity Fair's Maya Kosoff said in a tweet.
- Zuckerberg has also been pledging to address some of these things for a while now.
My thought bubble: Facebook and Twitter have gotten very good at articulating what a better version of themselves would be. But it's time for actions rather than ever-more-well-crafted-words.
Why Silicon Valley acts the way it does
In a lengthy new interview with Logic magazine, Stanford professor and author Fred Turner shed lights on Silicon Valley's cultural history and why it's handling recent criticism in ways that can be frustrating to outsiders.
Key quote: "The other thing to say about the utopian idea is that it lives in the Valley partly as a marketing strategy. This is a political operation of the first importance. If the Valley can convince Washington that the Valley is the home of the future and that its leaders see things that leaders back in stuffy old DC can't see, then they can also make a case for being deregulated."
Other highlights: Turner also touches on Facebook's sincere belief in building a connected world, Edward Snowden's surveillance revelations as a turning point, sexism in the industry, the belief in tech for changing consciousness, and more, according to my colleague Kia Kokalitcheva, who dug into the piece.
Go deeper: Turner's 2006 book, From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism, provides a deep look at Silicon Valley's cultural roots.
Exclusive: Aspen Institute launches cybersecurity initiative
IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, Texas Republican Congressman Will Hurd, and former Obama administration Homeland Security Adviser Lisa Monaco are the new tri-chairs of an effort The Aspen Institute is launching this morning that aims to address a wide range of cybersecurity vulnerabilities on a national scale, Axios' Shannon Vavra reports.
Why it's different: The Aspen Cyber Strategy Group, as the effort is known, is starting with the understanding that many past efforts have been more talk than action. It wants its 35 members of academia, the government, and the private sector to contribute concrete actions that can be taken.
- Who's at the table: The group includes the likes of retired Gen. Keith Alexander, president and CEO of IronNet Cybersecurity; Monika Bickert, head of product policy and counterterrorism for Facebook; Lynn Good, CEO of Duke Energy; Brad Maiorino, EVP of Booz Allen Hamilton; and Rep. Adam Schiff, ranking member of the House Intel Committee.
- Why now: According to then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, cyberattacks surpassed terrorism in 2013. "We all read about the number of hacks that happen," Hurd says. "It feels sometimes almost like a daily basis." He sees convening this group as a way to move beyond political talking points and develop implementable solutions.
- Yes, but: There have been plenty of cybersecurity task forces over the years. It's unclear if this initiative will make more progress than its predecessors in actually solving problems.
U.S. may end H-1B extensions for workers with pending green cards
The Department of Homeland Security may end a practice that allows H-1B visas to be extended while the holder's green card is pending, two tech industry sources familiar with the process tell Axios. The possible change is part of President Trump's "Buy American, Hire American" initiatives, as McClatchy DC first reported earlier this week.
By the numbers: There are estimated to be more than a million H1-B holders who are waiting on green cards, Leon Fresco, former deputy assistant attorney general for DOJ, told McClatchy DC, and a vast majority of H-1B holders are Indian tech workers.
- Because of green card regulations that require that no more than 7% of issued visas go to any one country, hundreds of thousands of India natives working in the U.S. could face wait periods of 15 years or more before receiving a final decision on their green cards.
Why it matters: This would affect hundreds of thousands of foreign workers who have been working in the U.S. on H-1B visas and have green card applications pending. It would also affect some big tech companies, particularly India-based IT firms that heavily use H-1B visas to fill technical roles.
Take Note
On Tap
- It's almost CES time, so now is a good time to down some Emergen-C and stock up on DayQuil. My other tip is to get some bottled water as soon as you arrive. I'll drink tap water almost anywhere, but Vegas water is practically undrinkable.
Trading Places
- Strava, the social network for athletes that's planning to expand, has named Stephanie Hannon as its chief product officer. Hannon is an ex-Googler who served as chief technology officer on the Hillary for America campaign.
- Chip maker Xilinx promoted COO Victor Peng to be its next CEO. He succeeds Moshe Gavrielov, who will step down Jan. 28.
- Jimmy Iovine is expected to leave Apple in August, according to Billboard.
- GoPro is in the process of laying off 200–300 workers, largely in its drone unit, according to TechCrunch.
- Former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is selling a large chunk of his stake as part of SoftBank's tender offer and the proceeds will be enough to make him an actual billionaire, as opposed to the paper kind.
- Spotify, which aims to go public via a direct listing in the coming months, says it now has 70 million subscribers.
- Apple said its App Store brought in a record $300 million on New Year's Day and $890 million for the week beginning Christmas Eve.
- The Homeland Security department said a data breach exposed the personal information of 240,000 current and former employees.
- Despite its search engine being banned in China, Google has invested in the Chinese mobile live-streaming company Chushou.

The earliest yet, though not the sweetest spears on the bed if I'm not mistaken, but let's wait and see.
Quite incredible. If it weren't for the daffs I'd have guessed May from the shed shot. It looks so lush.
I love the tropical garden in front of your shed - wonderful! I keep deliberating whether to plant asparagus on our plot.
What an idyll! Lovely photos, as always.
On asparagus - if you have enough space, I'd definitely recommend it, though it is an exercise in deferred gratification, preferable to Lent if you ask me. We cut for around 6 weeks, feed it with seaweed - just another excuse for a trip to the seaside
It was quite remarkable yesterday. The birds were singing like mad things and when the sun was out it was really warm. Such a disgrace that there are no seeds in yet...
Brilliant photos ....We have bright Sun and fast lengthening days so it's cheerful here.
Erm May I borrow Pixie we have 4 cats but I distinctly saw a grey furry bottom and tail fleeing ..and it wasn't outside... this is not good.
The youngest of our formally avid mousers are 15 in June so methinks I better do something about it myself!
Have been watching the new allotments taking shape near Pudding Mill Lane on the train ride from Stratford to Liverpool Street. I'm really looking forward to future years when they will be a riot of colour. I am hoping that people will get to personalise their sheds - all a bit boring at the moment. In my garden I am anxiously waiting for the mulberry that we painstakingly transferred after six years (from pot to ground) to bloom into life. Maybe this year it will fruit!
Joan - There is a mulberry in my neighbour's garden - the bane of my life. It is far too big for a thirty foot garden, and each time it is cut back puts on a growth spurt taking more and more of my light each year. It has been blown down twice in big storms, but bounces back, and I fear it will go on for 400 years like King James's mulberry at Charlton. It's saving grace are that the birds like it - I can live with purple splodges on our york stones - and it does look lovely in autumn time as the leaves stay very late.
Val - sounds like those mousers have earned their retirment!
Colleen. It will be some years - if ever - before our mulberry troubles our neighbours. It is only 4 ft tall and, as we took out two 13 ft tall cordylines in order to relocate it our neighbours are currently benefitting from big skies! But it is a real problem, isn't it, planting things that will grow to the right size. When we took over our narrow (typical Victorian terrace) but 90 ft long garden we found the previous owners had planted as if it was Chatsworth. The google earth image of it at that time looked like a rainforest.
My favourite mulberries are the ones in Bunhill fields and at Lambeth Palace.

Round out your yoga practice and take it to the next level with the ProsourceFit Yoga Wheel. It offers a fun way to safely learn new yoga poses, stretch, and improve your balance. The wheel will keep your workouts and stretching routines challenging and exciting so you never stop improving.
This product has been certified as a top quality yoga product by YogiApproved.com!
The Yoga Wheel is one of the newest, most exciting trends in yoga, offering versatility for balance, stretching, and strength. As most yoga students and practitioners know, yoga can be quite challenging to flexibility and balance. But it can be made easier and more comfortable with accessories like the yoga wheel that helps you progress safely from one level to the next. The wheel design can be used in a variety of ways, such as improving your wheel pose, plow pose, forearm stands, and more. Lie backwards across it to open up and stretching your back and chest muscles. Increase hip mobility and overall balance by placing one leg on the wheel in a variety of poses or core strengthening moves. The sturdy ABS design with ¼" TPE cushion provides comfort and durability for any user so you can make it a regular part of your long term fitness lifestyle.
Measurements: 12" Diameter;
Material: TPE; ABS Plastic
Care: When using your ProsourceFit Yoga Wheel, place on a yoga mat, carpet, or a smooth floor. Do not use on rough surfaces or around to protect the yoga mat-like exterior. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
To Clean:
Outer Ring: Using mild laundry detergent diluted in water, gently scrub the rubber material with your hand or a soft cloth. Rinse with water and wipe completely dry with a towel or cloth.
Inner Ring: Wipe clean with a warm, wet cloth to remove spots.
Excellent experience. Because I am tight and my arthritis-ridden joints limit my yoga activity, I was eager to uncover a prop to use at home. I brought my beautifully-made wheel to my gym & my personal trainer assisted me by developing exercises I could practice at home to increase my flexibility and reach. I love it!
Wish it came with more detailed instruction.
This yoga wheel is great, it is sturdy and beautiful colors!
A++ The wheel is serving its purpose.
This wheel is sold for twice as much, and I was surprised that this is a great product for an excellent price! I like the materials, particularly the dense foam rubber (whatever it is) that grips you and the floor, letting exercise be focused totally on what you are doing, not whether the wheel will slip out or collapse underneath. The shipping was super quick, and great customer service, too.

White (Trois Couleurs: Blanc)Made in: Poland, FranceLanguages: Polish, FrenchDirector: Krzysztof KieslowskiStarring: Zbigniew Zamachowski, Janusz Gajos, Julie DelpyYear: 1994
Synopsis: Nothing is quite as romantic as revenge.
The second of Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy, White follows the misadventures of Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski), a very plain-looking but clever hairdresser from Poland. Not long after moving to Paris with his beautiful wife Dominique (Julie Delpy), Karol finds her wanting to divorce him on grounds that their marriage is unsatisfying to her.
Left only with a large suitcase and a comb, Karol finds himself broke (his bank account has been frozen) and homeless. By chance he befriends Mikolaj (Janusz Gajos), a fellow Pole with serious life issues of his own, who agrees to smuggle Karol back to Warsaw.
Once home, Karol moves back in with his brother, who's also a hairdresser. In serious need of money since their business can barely sustain them, Karol outsmarts a scheming black market lowlife and obtains several large plots of land in the countryside.
Quickly becoming a land baron, Karol reunites with his friend Mikolaj and the two create a successful business.
But all the while, Karol never stops thinking of Dominique. Using his newly realized wealth and power, Karol concocts an elaborate plan to win back his ex-wife while exacting revenge on her at the same time...
The Good: This is basically an underdog story, where the unlucky guy goes against all odds to try to win back the girl. But on a deeper level, White is about longing, and the desire for a type of fulfillment in life that our external circumstances can't provide.
With the use of many cinematic techniques (lighting, subject matter, dialog, etc) Kieslowski explores these universal themes in creative ways. He goes deep into the souls of his characters, yet manages to efficiently work their complex development into an interesting plotline.
The cast, particularly Zamachowski's portrayal of Karol, is very natural and easy for us to identify with. And Julie Delpy's Dominique is a powerful presence despite her limited screen time.
The Bad: I suppose the only problem I have is believing that Dominique and Karol ever became a pair in the first place. Although you find out how the two met, they are from different walks of life and how they fell in love is never quite explained.
Also, I might have missed something (and it may not matter) but I have no idea what Dominique does for a living.
Who would like this movie: Well, if you got through
and are curious to see how the rest of the trilogy plays out, White would be the next film to see.
But as I said in my piece about Blue, you'll appreciate this movie most if you're making a conscious effort to watch foreign films. This one is a little "lighter" than Blue, contains more humor, and for me, was easier to "get" than Blue.
If you like having lengthy discussions/debates about films and what they mean, White will provide you plenty of talking points. It's a pretty short film, and Kieslowski packs in a lot of information in just 88 minutes.
The movie does feel a little longer than that, though, but doesn't drag.
What you'll appreciate about Kieslowski is that he doesn't waste your time with extraneous material. Everything you are meant to see in this film is there for a reason.
This film is followed by
(3 out of 4 stars)

text: Our new house has a short wall about 3 1/2 feet tall to divide the dining area from the stairs going to the basement. The problem is our young children climbing on it. We'd like to make the wall higher or add a banister to prevent any falls, or even start over with a new banister that is taller. But how can we do it to make it look good? Any ideas?

Eye Spy: Five Things to See in Denver's Santa Fe Arts District
Denver's Santa Fe Arts District offers an ever-expanding array of galleries, performance venues, restaurants, bars and activities distinctly different from other neighborhoods in town.

The Santa Fe Arts District is one of the few areas in town with a truly global feel.
If you're new to the district, below are five things to see that are definitely worth a try:
- 1. First Friday Art Walk: From 6-9 pm every first Friday of the month, you can browse over 60 galleries and studios, and enjoy First Friday specials at local restaurants. Free shuttles are available from the light rail station at 10th and Osage.
- 2. Food Truck Row: If you're in on the food truck craze, nowhere is better than on Santa Fe and 9th during a First Friday Art Walk. As they say, "Eat outside the box."
- 3. Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center: For over 40 years, Su Teatro has established a national reputation for homegrown productions that speak to the history and experience of the Chicano culture.
- 4. Renegade Brewing Company: A newcomer to the Santa Fe Arts District, Renegade fills an important craft brewing niche in this hot bed of creativity
- 5. Byers Branch Library: In keeping with the neighborhood, the Byers Branch Library offers children's and adult art and technology classes to both residents and guests
How to Use This Information
Do you take advantage of all that Denver has to offer? Many of us fall into the rut of doing the same few things all the time. At Vision Care Specialists we help patients experience Life in High-Def. A visit to the Santa Fe Arts District is just one great Denver activity our patients enjoy as they treat their senses to everything our state has to offer.

For the most adventurous, those who dare can plunge more than 22 meters down a giant water slide, the "Wildwasserbahn".
Who's brave enough to ride the pirate ship, too scary for me? Listen to the screams! Or the Silberpfeil, the highest slide in the whole of Hessen. Or the Big Scooter, only for those who love the thrill of speed.
The Taunusblitz roller coaster
is situated in the middle of a wood and the curves are gentle enough for the whole family but high and and steep enough to feel in your stomach and knees.
Knall+Fall (Rock and Drop Free Fall Tower)
The 17 meter high multi-motion tower went into operation in summer 2010. The first ride of its kind in Europe, passengers are transported up the tower while at the same time rocking from side to side; on reaching the top the tower leans forwards and after a sllght pause the gondola drops in free fall at a speed of 3 meters per second. The most modern security systems ensure absolute safety and fun and thrills for the whole family.
Millions of years ago mighty dinosaurs ruled the primeval forests and jungles. Welcome to Dinoland.
Young children will enjoy petting the tame animals in the petting zoo.

Customer Support
Your Questions Answered
I have a Compuload non trade approved scale. Am I able to upgrade it to a trade approved model?
Yes but you must have a Compuload printer installed on your system as well.
I have a Compuload weighing system on my loader but I would like to be able to get the information off it so that I can track the stock levels. Am I able to do this?
Yes you can do this in either two different ways.
- If you have a non trade approved Compuload system you are able to purchase a USB Downloader that can be plugged into Compuload and you are able to get all the information from that and then plug it into your computer and it will give you the details in an excel spreadsheet format.
- If your Compuload system is a Trade Approved model then you can take your lap top to the indicator and unplug your printer and using that technique you are able to download it that way.
I am in need of a new front end loader but I still want to keep the Compuload from the old one. Are you able to take it off my old machine and put it back onto the new one?
Yes, we are able to do that for you. Just call us and we can give you the price.
What accuracy should I expect from a Compuload front end loader scale?
Any loader scale should be able to achieve +1% accuracy. Compuload scales routinely achieve <+0.5% accuracy on all brands of front end loaders. If you can't load a semi trailer to within 200kg routinely then contact Instant Weighing for a Compuload solution which can do the job for you.
Why would I buy a Compuload digital weighing system over a Loadrite system?
The main reasons people choose Compuload are:
- Compuload is Australian made and owned.

Auxiliary cop Margo Jamieson's discovery of a nasty note in a dead man's golf jacket sends her to local historian John Larssen for help. The conflicting agendas of an old prospector, a rich eco-activist, a couch-surfing teen and a mess of misplaced desire take them behind the picturesque façade of Smithers, a mountain town in northern British Columbia. This is the nineties, before cell phones and the internet, and they need to rely on paper files, face-to-face meetings and old-fashioned telephones to unravel a tangled web of festering grudges, phony mineral claims, blackmail, and murder. It may be spring, but what the melting snow reveals brings death in this first mystery from a seasoned poet, novelist and short story writer.

College students launched a "charity sale week" campaign to raise money for osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) patients in Shandong province, on Nov 6. Click here to read more on this article…
OI is a genetic connective tissue disease. Its clinical characteristics are fragile bones and bone deformities.
The patients are usually called "China Dolls" since their bones get frequent fractures and are much more vulnerable to collisions. It is estimated that there are about 100,000 OI patients in China.
Supported by the China Dolls Care and Support Association, the event involves hundreds of students from the University of Jinan, Shandong University of Finance and Economics, and Shandong Jianzhu University.
China Dolls Founder & President, Yi-Ou Wang will be speaking at the 2nd World Orphan Drug Congress USA and their need for orphan drugs in China despite the lack of orphan drug regulations in the country.

Public Cloud Partners
Microsoft Azure
Microsoft's Azure cloud hosting platform provides a cost effective way to quickly spin up servers. Using the pay as you go model, Azure allows a faster time to market combined with reduced costs over owning a server.
Azure's design is oriented towards hybrid cloud, where your primary infrastructure is still on-premise.
Azure Active Directory (AD) integration often makes it the right choice for extending a domain joined server to the public cloud, as it allows for single sign on.
Amazon Web Services
Amazon's Web Services (AWS) has similar pricing to Azure and offers similar features. Not as focused on hybrid cloud, Amazon AWS servers are a viable choice if you don't need AD integration. AWS offers a unique private space for government agencies that have made it the go-to public cloud service for government agencies.

How to Recycle Yarn from a Thrift-Store Sweatercomments (24) October 4th, 2008
The most classic handmade holiday gift has to be the knit sweater, which is also one of the most ambitious. If you plan to knit a sweater for a loved one this year, you'd better start soon, at least with the planning stages. There are limitless designs out there for sweaters, you're sure to be able to find the perfect one for anyone on your list if you search around (especially if you're a ravelry member!), so I'm not bringing you yet another design idea. No, I'm bringing you a yarn idea! I think that hand-knit sweater gift would be made so much more special if you could tell your loved one it was made from recycled yarn! A whole new level to the classic sweater, to take an unloved garment, destined for the landfill, salvage the wool, and give it a brand-new start as a beautiful knit gift; it's sure to be appreciated by any recipient who loves the planet.
You'll Need:
- Thrifted sweater to unravel (details below)
- Seam ripper
- Scissors (embroidery scissors can be helpful)
- Dish soap or shampoo
- These will help if you have them: niddy noddy, swift, ball winder
Your first step is to find a sweater (or two) to unravel. If your heart is set on knitting a specific pattern, it may take many trips to the thrift store to find just the right yarn, but if you are willing to choose a pattern based on the yarn you find, your sweater shopping probably won't be as stressful. Main things you'll want to consider:
Yardage: If you find a fantastic yarn but are not sure it'll be enough to complete your gift, I'd recommend finding another yarn of the same weight that could be added as a stripe in your sweater if needed. After unraveling, you'll be able to count the exact yardage so you can deal with stripe planning at that point. If you are firmly against adding stripes, be sure to choose a big sweater that will definitely provide plenty of yardage.
Weight: There are tons of sweaters out there made from very fine yarns, which are not easy to take apart. You'll want to choose a weight that's right for the kind of sweater you want to make, of course, so pay attention to the gauge of the sweaters when shopping.

• Make Hats from Recycled Sweaters
Fiber content: I only bother unraveling sweaters with all or mostly natural fibers because it's just not worth it to take the time for acrylic, so be sure to read the tags. If there is a small percentage of nylon or acrylic, it will be less breakable and therefore easier to unravel, so man-made fibers aren't all bad.
Not felted: Many wool sweaters end up in thrift stores because they accidentally got tossed in the washing machine; these should be easy to spot and obviously won't unravel.
Sometimes you'll find partially felted sweaters (for instance, felted only under the armpits), so you can decide if it's worth it to try to make it work. With the best sweaters (not at all felted), you can clearly see the outline of each individual stitch and see through the fabric when it's stretched.
Seams: To get usable yarn, your sweater must have sewn or crocheted seams, not serged! With serged seams, the knit fabric is cut, so you wouldn't be able to unravel the yarn continuously.
The best kind of seams (easiest to take apart) are crocheted together-most sweaters I find are this way.
The other kind of seams are sewn together, so you'll see loops of yarn along both sides-this seaming is mostly found on sweaters labeled "hand knit."
Now that you have your sweater, you can start ripping! You can take apart the seams in whatever order makes sense to you, but I always start with the sleeves and work my way up the body. It's much easier and safer to use a seam ripper for the whole process; scissors are just there to chop long pieces of seaming yarn when needed. So, first you'll need to cut the yarn at the end of the sleeve seam to get it started; you may end up clipping a few strands to get it going, but since it's at the end you won't lose much yarn by making extra snips.
If you're working with a crocheted seam, you can start pulling the seaming yarn to get it going. To unravel the chain, you'll need to pull the yarn on the opposite side of the seam from the chain-you may need to cut it a few times and try pulling from different places before you find the right spot and it all comes apart. If working with a sewn seam, you'll just have to take it out with your fingers and/or cut along the seam. Be super careful not to cut any yarn that's not the seaming yarn! I usually pull it out by hand, cutting it short whenever it gets about 8 inches long to make it go faster. (That's what the scissors are for.)
When you reach the end of the sleeve seam, you'll probably need to make an extra snip or two to get the shoulder seam going. For crocheted seams, look at what direction the chain is going to unravel in the right (easy) direction. For sewn seams, it doesn't matter what direction you go.
Usually, after I detach each piece of the sweater, I like to go ahead and unravel it, to keep things interesting. If you prefer, you can continue taking the seams apart until your sweater is all in its separate pieces, then unravel all at once.
To unravel the sleeve, start at the shoulder end and find where the bind-off ended. Make any necessary snips and start pulling.
Pull and pull to turn that unloved sweater back into yarn, wonderful yarn!
When you have a big ball and are ready to turn it into a hank for washing, set up a system for winding it exactly 2 yards around so that you can measure the yardage. If you have a niddy noddy, great; if not, you can use the chair method. First, cut a piece of scrap yarn exactly 2 yards long. Then set up two chairs, backs facing each other, so that the scrap yarn wraps around the backs and just touches.
Now you can wrap your balled yarn around the chair backs and know that each time around is 2 yards.
Tie the ends around the yarn in a figure 8 to hold it securely, and tie two more pieces of scrap yarn spaced around the hank to keep it from getting tangled.
Repeat the whole process for each section of your sweater, and you'll have four or more big, kinky hanks of yarn that need to be washed and de-kinked.
Fill a sink, tub, or big bucket with warm water, then add a huge squeeze of dish soap or shampoo and stir. Gently push the yarn down into the soapy water, one hank at a time. Let it soak for a long time, at least a half hour-I often wait several hours or sometimes even overnight.
Rinse the yarn with room-temperature water, or the same temperature as the water it was soaking in, gently without any agitation. Once it's rinsed super well, squeeze (don't wring) the water out in the sink. Now roll it up in a towel and squeeze hard or step on it to get all excess water out. After drying, to get the yarn all even and help with the kinks, whip each hank in the air or against your leg, or spin quickly over your head, and repeat a few times holding the hank in different spots. Hang the hanks to dry overnight, over towel racks, the shower curtain rod, hangers in a doorway, or on a coat rack as I use.
Once the yarn is completely dry, you can ball it up and start knitting! If you don't have a swift, you can put it back on the chairs and wind by hand. Or maybe if you go into your local yarn store and buy something and are super nice, they'll let you use their swift and winder to ball it all up! Maybe...
In case you're wondering, my total yardage of this bulky red yarn ended up being 428 yards. Normally you get more yardage than that because the weight is finer on most sweaters. But still, 428 yards of gorgeous, deep red, 100% wool bulky weight yarn for $6.99 is a darn good deal!

Wool and Down should NEVER be washed with detergent of any kind
because it destroys the natural oils (ie lanolin)in them that contribute to their attributes ie. keeping one warm even when wet and staying fluffy and thus warm, for wool and down respectively.
Use true soaps like Ivory bars or flakes that do not have phosphates or other detergents in them. READ labels some products that claim to be for down and wool are just detergents that cost more.
If there's a spot that doesn't come out, with soap, try to treat it specifically and don't ruin the whole piece, pillow, coat, sleeping bag etc.
Recycled wool and water pollution reduction at the same time

@Rosel, on dealing with the ribbing, I find it's sometimes attached as a separate piece. I don't usually have problems unraveling it, but I think the ribbed edges tend to get more wear, so I'll often use this yarn for swatching or sampling.

That ought to get a few liberals undies in a knot.
A local mother is upset because kids at her child's school are allowed to fly Confederate flags on campus.
The mom, who would like to remain anonymous, contacted News 2 with concerns about her son's safety at Stewarts Creek High School in Rutherford County.
She said her 14-year-old son, who is in ninth grade, came home this week and told her that kids were wearing Confederate flag T-shirts to class.

The mother said she saw them herself while dropping off her son Wednesday morning. She said she also noticed students flying Confederate flags in the back of their trucks.
"I felt sad and hurt when I saw that," she told News 2.
The Confederate flag has remained a controversial symbol since the Civil War, and the mom said, "I just don't think it should be in schools."

One prisoner receives treatment for smoke inhalation after starting a fire in his Northward prison cell.
Prison and Fire Services leaders continue to investigate.
According to a prison statement, the fire happened Thursday (11 October.)
An unnamed inmate lit a small fire within his cell. The fire was quickly extinguished by prison staff.
Fire Services also responded to the fire and confirmed it was fully extinguished. Prison Director Steven Barrett said it could have been worse.
"Fire has the potential to create destructive levels of smoke and within a prison environment, the risks associated with this are significantly amplified. I am extremely grateful for the swift intervention of the prison staff in dealing with the situation," Mr. Barett said.
Cayman 27 asked for more details on how the fire was started. But Mr. Barett declined to say anything further until a full review is completed.

Daniel was catch of the day
O'Gorman (Tuesday, RTE1)
We saw Paddy (with Snoop the dog) tramping along the tracks of the West Clare Railway and off into the sunset. Well, more of a bleak autumnal gloom than a sunset, really, but he still looked very slightly like an enigmatic anti-hero from a Spaghetti Western (if you squinted a bit).
Or, more accurately, Michael Landon in Highway to Heaven. Prior to this, he spent a lot of time chugging along, incredibly slowly, inside the restored "Slieve Callan" steam train.
He talked to retired teachers about cancer. He met widows who'd found new love. He told a 90-year-old she had "a lovely complexion". It all felt uncannily like Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, the 1965 horror where five train passengers have their futures told by Peter Cushing.
I've heard it said that O'Gorman is good at drawing people out, at putting them at ease and encouraging them to open up. I'm more inclined to think that the intensity of his gaze is so unnerving that people just start babbling and confessing. Particularly when they're trapped on a slow-moving train (to heaven) with no means of escape.
Speaking of blankly intense gazes, Daniel O'Donnell was the subject of some unexpectedly feverish attention on the series finale of Martin and Paul's Surf 'n' Turf.
If you haven't seen the show, it follows chefs Martin Shanahan and Paul Flynn as they ramble about the country, competing for local approval. Martin likes fish, Paul loves meat, together they're murder! Or, at least, they're supposed to be, but the painfully strained "buddy movie" dynamic falls utterly flat.
In Wednesday's episode they were in Donegal, where Paul became obsessed with tracking down wee Daniel and making him his meat- preparing assistant. Paul found himself outside the gates of the O'Donnell residence, peering anxiously in. No sign.
A tip-off then led him to a harbour where Daniel's wife was disembarking from a boat. But where was Daniel? "He's actually away learning the Irish," she said, "in Glencolmcille." "Nooooooo!," Paul all but screamed, as he leapt hysterically into his car. "Glencolmcille is an hour-and-a-half away!", he breathlessly informed us. "Daniel is due to leave his Irish class in an hour. Now that's pressure." It wasn't really.
Anyway, Paul's prey was eventually intercepted, the meat was cooked, and Daniel, like a benign cult leader, led the assembled acolytes in a chorus of The Homes of Donegal. Martin and Paul? They got naked and disappeared into the sea (a sight I shan't soon forget).
On Monday's Who Do You Think You Are? USA the wonderful Edie Falco ended up on a tall ship off the coast of Cornwall, after tracing her mother's family back to a Cornish master mariner.
The show may, essentially, be a heavily-edited, hour-long advertisement for ancestry.com, but it's still got its golden moments. Chief among which are those scenes where wide-eyed archivists and librarians meet famous celebs and try to affect nonchalance (as if this is just another day in the sexy life of a genealogist).
'Wait 'til I tell my mum,' you can practically see them thinking.
O'Gorman HHIII MARTIN AND PAUL'S SURF 'N' TURF HIIII WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? USA HHHII
