THERE is a tradition here at the governor's mansion, that a first lady leaves her mark. The most recent mistress chose to upgrade the gardens. On this chilly, winter-dormant morning, a visitor could only imagine the springtime blooming of her camellias, hydrangeas and Confederate jasmine, the orange trees in urns standing guard at the archway.
A plaque from sunnier times honors her vision. "The Jenny Sanford Wedding Garden," it reads. "First Lady, 2003-2011."
"Kind of ironic, isn't it," said the soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Sanford, 47, a frank, blade-thin woman with gray-green eyes, black suede high-heeled boots and a cuff bracelet made from the skin of an alligator shot by her eldest son.
This first lady left another Mark as well: that would be her husband, the South Carolina governor who ducked out of sight last June to spend five days in Argentina with his "soul mate," as he put it in that weepy, unhinged news conference. Mrs. Sanford, absent from his side, earned respect as a betrayed wife who rose above her own public humiliation with frosty indignation and terse, precision-target anger.
Now, with Mr. Sanford in his final year in office, Mrs. Sanford is publishing her elegant evisceration of a memoir, "Staying True." During a visit with this reporter at the governor's mansion, where Mr. Sanford lives alone and where Mrs. Sanford drops by for the rare first lady function, she said she wrote the book in part for their four boys, who remain confused about their parents' pending divorce.
But why expose their father as a laughably cheap, self-absorbed, soulless, cheating first-class jerk?
Mrs. Sanford, who conveys a just-us-girls warmth and tartness that doesn't always come through in the book, looked quizzical. "It's not the book that put him in a bad light," she said.
What about revealing new tales, like the time he made her return his gift of a diamond necklace, because he decided it wasn't worth the money?
She pulled a poker face: "Doesn't it show he adheres to his conservative fiscal principles?" (Through a spokesman, the governor declined to comment on the book.)
The day afforded glimpses of a past life: flickers of a first lady's role, ashes of a 20-year marriage. "It feels sad to be here," she said, surveying the property where the family lived for seven years. "It doesn't feel alive."
In the pool house, where eight-point heads of buck shot by the boys are mounted, she spotted moldy ceiling tiles that had crashed to the floor.
"This is still my responsibility, I guess," said Mrs. Sanford, who resides with the boys, Blake, Bolton, Landon and Marshall, 11 to 17, at their beach home some two hours away.
She strolled by the great lawn, where the couple hosted receptions for hundreds, the boys played football and soccer, and where their dog is buried. "Mark had a tombstone put in," she said. "I thought that was odd. Mark's father's grave doesn't have one."
The Mark Sanford who emerges from Mrs. Sanford's book and in conversation, is, to put it charitably, an odd duck.
When the couple met in the Hamptons in their mid-20s, he had a summer job in Manhattan at Goldman Sachs and was a graduate business student at the University of Virginia. He was a devout Christian, she recounted, whose father died when he was in college and who had struggled to save the family farm.
She was a vice president at Lazard Frères. A Georgetown graduate who regularly attended 5 p.m. Mass on Sundays, she also lived merrily on the Upper East Side, meeting girlfriends for drinks and date dissections.
"He was naïve with me," said Mrs. Sanford, settling on the sofa in the mansion library, with family photos scattered about, an oil painting of her husband staring down from the mantel. "He didn't have a lot of experience courting women, let's just say."
Back then, she found him a nice change from Wall Street wolves: wholesome, spiritual, outdoorsy. That was the narrative she clung to, when he refused to say "fidelity" in their wedding vows. "I thought it was refreshing and honest," she said. "What kind of an idiot was I?"
Years later, she said, he would bemoan his lack of dating experience, wondering aloud what he had missed.
They both came from large families — hers is a well-off Irish Catholic family from outside of Chicago. Mrs. Sanford had few qualms about jettisoning her Manhattan career for a more balanced life, raising children in South Carolina.
Just after the birth of their second son, while she was still in the hospital, Mr. Sanford, who had been weighing a run for Congress, asked her to be his campaign manager. She was, as he said, "free": not that her calendar was open, but that he wouldn't have to pay her.
She wanted to support him. Nor did she expect that an unseasoned unknown could win. Mrs. Sanford wound up managing his three successful Congressional campaigns and his first for governor. She created his budget and schedule, typed thank you notes, rolled out commercials and drafted answers to questionnaires.
"You learn the federal issues and then the state issues, the reporters you like and the ones you don't," she said, with a sly smile. "You learn the cheapest places to buy bumper stickers."
As she writes, their marriage was shaped and eroded by his political career. It was not just the six years they lived largely apart, he in Washington and she in South Carolina with the boys.
"He went instantaneously from being a naïve country boy to being always in demand," she said. "The media, the lobbyists, the glare. Everyone wants something from you 24/7, not because of who you are but because of your position." And he, in turn, always had his hand out, asking for donations for his next campaign.
During Mr. Sanford's first years as governor, said Joel Sawyer, his former spokesman, he consulted Mrs. Sanford on policy. "She attended a few meetings with other officials." But she wanted to spend more time as a wife and a mother.
"By 2006," he added, "she made Mark hire a professional campaign manager. He resisted because he always had someone do it for free."
Living with a paper-clip counter had its challenges. Once, noticing that his trademark blue blazer had become so frayed that repair was pointless, Mrs. Sanford bought him a new one. "He went ballistic," she said, laughing.
The governor, who would later try to say no to federal stimulus money for his state, made his wife return the blazer. "For his next birthday I bought him another blazer. But this time I cut out the tags so he couldn't return it."
She invited the reporter to lunch, walking down marble halls where the Sanford boys had raced on skateboards, antique chandeliers quavering. Gone were the bikes and lacrosse sticks that once cluttered the front porch, appalling some guests as they arrived for state dinners in formal attire.
In the dining room, Chamberlain Branch, the mansion's steward, hugged Mrs. Sanford, and asked after the boys.
She glowed. "They're adjusting to school at least," she replied. "Just one B for the four of them!" The rest, A's.
Mr. Branch sent regards. "The boys were the soul of this house," he said. "And you were the glue that held us all together."
The governor, he said, "has apologized to us."
She tasted her she-crab soup. "He's got to get it right with the Big Guy," said Mrs. Sanford, who starts her days at 5:30 a.m. with devotional readings.
Over the years, she continued, the marriage had its strains, but in January 2009, she thought it was solid. Inadvertently she found a letter from Mr. Sanford to his mistress.
"Staying True" describes her agony: how he pleaded for permission to visit the woman in New York. She prayed with him, she said. She screamed. She cried. "I was devastated. How did I not know? Our lives were so entwined." For months, she kept it from the boys.
Women can be trapped in many ways, she said. She felt snared in their very public life.
"Because we lived in this house, a decision to ask my husband to leave was very difficult," she said. "The house comes with his job, not mine. So I didn't have the option of kicking him out. And if I had moved out, I'd be pegged as bringing down his career."
When school ended, Mrs. Sanford and the boys decamped to the Sullivan's Island beach house, ostensibly for the summer.
Then the governor went missing, a period that included Father's Day. Next, the soul mate speech. The release of explicit e-mail messages. His angels-on-a-pin distinction that other dalliances had not crossed a line.
In December, after the legislators declined to impeach him but issued a harsh rebuke, and a day after Mr. Sanford opined publicly that he hoped for reconciliation, Mrs. Sanford filed for divorce.
Mrs. Sanford snickered at a future in politics — "I did my time!" — but spoke of enjoying her sons, and maybe starting a business.
What of the year remaining in Mr. Sanford's term? After the divorce, will she still be first lady? No etiquette guide exists. "But I'll show up for the Easter egg hunt," she said, "and the Mother of the Year tea."
Asked why Mr. Sanford strayed from his steadfast helpmate, the mother of his four sons, a banker who learned to cook venison and pheasant shot by her menfolk, Mrs. Sanford hesitated. Her eyes welled up. Then she straightened her shoulders.
"His loss," she replied.

Managing any form of diabetes can overwhelming on occasion. This post can offer you a couple of recommendations to assist in taking care of your ailment.
Having diabetes can be really hard due to the fact of changes in your eating habits. Diabetes is a type of illness that has an impact on the glucose level of the body causing a decrease in the production of insulin, a hormone that converts sugar into energy. Normal exercise and correct meal management as well as medication, whenever prescribed, are required to maintain the body's glucose level regular.
Among the 3, appropriate meal management is the most essential in maintaining a low glucose level due to the fact unhealthy eating is the primary trigger of diabetes. To promote a healthy diabetic living, you ought to begin a healthy diabetic gourmet diet.
Diabetic gourmet diet essentially entails particular limitations on the foods that you eat as well as its quantity. Diabetic patients are advised to eat in little amounts the whole day on planned intervals to successfully maintain the body's glucose level. It is also extremely a lot essential to eat foods that can offer all the nutrition that you can get to manage diabetes.
Here are some ideas on diabetic gourmet diet:
• Diabetic gourmet diet emphasizes cutting down on sugar, fat and carbohydrates. As a lot as feasible, steer clear of foods that contain a high level of these substances.
• Steer clear of carbonated drinks, juices and beverages that have a high level of fructose.
• Do not eat salty foods like chips, fast-cook foods and processed meats.
• Usually read food labels and check out the nutritional contents.
There is a diabetes food pyramid that serves as a guideline in diabetic gourmet diet. The diabetes food pyramid is divided into categories comparable to the fundamental food pyramid. Nevertheless, their serving amounts differ from every other.
Here are some guidelines based on the diabetes food pyramid:
* Grains, beans and vegetables

Giving Indiana Entrepreneurs a single source of support is what you would expect from the State that Works.
The team behind the INBiz website knew they wanted to make working with the State of Indiana as simple as possible. Four years ago, with the Secretary of State's team leading the way, the vision and experience that exists today was set in motion. With Netfor assistance, standard operating procedures, workforce management, technology tools and other best practices were put into place for creating an all-in-one call center support system for Indiana's entrepreneurs.
When the Secretary of State, Department of Revenue and Department of Workforce Development began the road to designing, budgeting and planning their vision, they recognized a need to examine and improve their own call center operations while potentially standing up a new support system for the INBiz website. Netfor was invited to help the coalition walk through these areas of growth and support to help identify guiding principles, critical success factors, risks, and budgetary challenges, to ensure all parties involved were in alignment with where their expectations were headed.
In the early stages of the project, Netfor set out to assess the organization structure, current processes and existing technology to see where any gaps may be to align the coalition's vision to their state of operations. With the findings known, stakeholders were quickly able to review the recommendations and prioritize execution.
Today, thousands of Hoosiers utilize this resource each month with Netfor's guidance and call center wisdom. What would you like to start with the State that Works? Whatever idea you're ready to launch, INBiz and Netfor are here to support you on your way to success.

As example,i used CCleaner,from default location (C:\Program Files\CCleaner) i created shortcut in installation folder, (Right click CCleaner64.exe),if i were using x86 OS i would Right click CCleaner.exe)
Copy whole CCleaner folder to shared empty folder on SCCM server (i created empty folder install)
create batch script in install folder
Batch will take parameter (Install folder path),exported to %~1 variable,if that path doesn't exist,it will be created
if not exist "%~1" mkdir "%~1" rem ~dp0 is current directory (where .bat exists),it will copy all from CCleaner folder to path specified as .bat parameter (parameter will be specified later on),and will copy shortcut to user Desktop copy /y "%~dp0CCleaner\*.*" "%~1" copy /y "%~dp0CCleaner\ccleaner.lnk" "%Public%/Desktop"
Don't forget to share folder install and to give SCCM server computer account Full Control NTFS permissions
You can now deploy CCleaner as Application or as a package
Package = "run a command"
Application = "keep a program installed on this system"
Software Center can deploy and manage both packages and applications, but the Installed Software tab in Software Center only shows applications (a package could be simply a script that was run, not a real application that was installed). The Application Catalog supports both packages and applications, but there is limited information for a package that can be shown to users in the application catalog.
I decided to deploy CCleaner as Application.
From SCCM console click Software Library-Applications-Create Application
Click Manually specify the application information
Give application name and (optionally) version number
Click Next
For deployement tipe click Add
Again,click manually
Specify app name and click Next
Specify path to shared folder where bat file and CCleaner folder is located,
in installation progam type bat file name and parameter (Path for folder where CCleaner files will be located).
Script will check if folder specified in path (C:\Program Files\CCleaner) exists,if not it first will create it and copy all files from \install\CCleaner folder on SCCM server to C:\Program Files\CCleaner on client computer
Specify how SCCM will check if program we want to deploy already exists,
click Add Clause
Choose install for system and specify whether app should be installed if user is logged on
Now when CCleaner is published,we need to deploy it,right click on app and select Deploy
Choose Distribution Point
After wizard finishes,CCleaner is available in Application Catalog on client computer,after click Install,it will create folder C:\Program Files\CCleaner
copy all files from CCleaner folder on SCCM server to C:\Program Files\CCleaner on client computer and will throw shortcut to desktop also

I trialed an Outlook add-in that had a number of different functions, one of which allowed you to send the same email to multiple recipients at the same time, without doing it as a bcc. For example, if I wanted to send the same email to Tom, Dick and Harry without having to write 3 emails, the add-in let me specify the names and the email would go to the 3 of them. In my Sent Items folder would be 3 emails each addressed to the respective person.
The add-in might have started with an S, or an R, but I don't remember.

Ray of Light exhibit to visit
Country Arts SA, in partnership with the Art Gallery of South Australia and the Regional Galleries Association of South Australia, is proud to present the touring exhibition Robyn Stacey: Ray of Light.
This exhibition will tour to venues across regional South Australia from September 2018 to September 2020 with Port Lincoln included in mid-2020.
First shown as part of the 2016 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Magic Object, Stacey's photographs are made through the magic of a camera obscura, whereby the external world is trapped and inverted within the room.
"The magic of the camera obscura is that it makes us question what we take for granted – the everyday experience is presented upside down and in reverse, mimicking the way an image forms on the retina," Stacey said.
Included in the exhibition are camera obscura photographs of iconic and well-known sites around Adelaide, including Carrick Hill, The Cedars at Hahndorf, The Lighthouse Wharf Hotel in Port Adelaide, Parliament House and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI).
The exhibtion will be at the Nautilus Arts Centre, Port Lincoln, from June to August 2020.

EVOX 12 is the most powerful line-source in its class and offers a particularly profound and dynamic reproduction at high levels due to the built-in 1400W power amplifier. The top section has eight high performance neodymium 4 "full-range transducers with a phase plug. As a result, the EVOX 12 has a significantly increased low-mid playback at a constant level with a wide dispersion for the highs. The 15 inch subwoofer delivers powerful bass sound to reinforce a big party or the kick drum of a live band. Despite high performance, the enclosure is very compact, and thanks to integrated wheels and extendable handle very easy to transport.

I gave Dan a trip to Minneapolis for his Birthday and we went this past weekend! We stayed at the W Hotel using our Starwood Points and saw the Book Of Mormon featuring our old neighbor, Colin Anderson.
What a TREAT it was to watch a touring Broadway Play with a cast member that we actually knew! It was Colin's 30th show….but some cast members had been performing for 700 shows! The play was in Minneapolis at the Orpheum Theater for a few weeks. The actors perform 8 shows a week and have Monday off…..just like Broadway.
We took Colin some Break-A-Leg Chocolate Chip Cookies and he met us out front before the show started.

Over the years I have worked with many clients to bring color into their homes. Interestingly I've noticed that most clients fall into one of two groups. One group are clients who love the color blue and therefore have very little green in their homes. The other group are those who love the color green and have very little blue in their homes. In a few of those cases I have been able to introduce TEAL into their interiors. Teal, a soothing mix of green and blue can run from low to high saturation. The color is said to have gotten its name from the freshwater Common Teal, a duck which breeds in temperate climates and is known for its distinguished dark teal color around it's eyes. The color is as gorgeous in nature as it is on walls..........at least I think so. :)

The LX-MU800Z Projector brings the high performance, reliability and exceptionally long life of a laser light source to Canon's LX-series. It delivers an outstanding 8000 lumens of brightness and up to 20,000 hours of continuous, virtually maintenance-free operation for large venues in higher education and corporate environments, houses of worship and digital signage applications – representing a lower total cost of ownership. Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology, WUXGA (1920 x 1200) high-resolution, and a high contrast ratio of up to 10,500:1* combine to help produce highly detailed images and accurate colour over a large projection area.
Laser Projection with Simplified Maintenance The laser light source system provides up to 20,000 hours of reliable, high-quality projection – which is many times longer than a conventional lamp's life. As there are no lamps or filters to replace, there is virtually no maintenance required. This means downtime is kept to a minimum and running costs are relatively low when looking at the total life of the product which is a key consideration for challenging and hard-to-reach installations, such as auditoriums and lecture halls, or hard-to-access digital signage sites.
High Image Quality Single-chip DLP technology combined with the laser light source, WUXGA (1920 x 1200) resolution, and a high contrast ratio of up to 10,500:1* enables the LX-MU800Z to produce high resolution content with an outstanding brightness of 8000 lumens, and a broad colour gamut for remarkable colour reproduction, detail and clarity. Extensive image adjustments allow for fine-tuning to suit image sources, environments and user preferences, while seven different optional lenses help ensure content will look great virtually wherever the projector is installed. Lenses range from Ultra Wide Zoom to Ultra Long Zoom, and can be installed or removed quickly and easily with a simple push of the lens release button.
Flexible Installation The LX-MU800Z is convenient to set-up as it can be rotated 360 degrees to any angle on the vertical axis. It can also be positioned on its side so that images more suited to portrait projection** can be optimally displayed. This is a useful feature for sales promotion, digital signage, museums and art galleries. A flexible lens shift allows for a variety of vertical and horizontal adjustment options. Additionally, the projector's lens memory function can be used to store up to 8 different custom lens positions, each including lens shift, zoom and focal length. Connectivity is both comprehensive and versatile with built-in HDBaseT™ for transmitting video, audio and control over a single Ethernet cable, as well as 3G-SDI, HDMI, DVI-D, 5BNC, DisplayPort, RJ-45 and more. This model is also compatible with Crestron, AMX and Extron devices.
Peace of Mind For additional reassurance the LX-MU800Z is backed by Canon's 3-Year Projector Limited Warranty, and the Company's award-winning Professional Service & Support.
* Dynamic Black ON. ** For Portrait Projection a mount would be needed to allow for proper air flow. Using the projector in portrait projection may reduce the lifetime of optical parts when the lens faces downward during projection and when the air intake vent of the projector faces downward during portrait projection.

Oh my gosh, it's been so long since I've written, I'd almost forgotten how to get on, write and post to my blog!
I have been so busy - I visited with family all over the country through October, and then began a series of oral surgeries. Why do we women always think, 'ah, not a big deal, I'll be up and around in a couple of days!' Really a good question - it's because WE ARE WOMEN!! When did we take time being sick, or lazy or down when our children, or even our grandchildren were really little - we didn't - unless we were half dead! Which may be the reason things hit us so hard now. But, I digress. The last surgery I had was a 3 hour bone graft 10 days ago. Doc explained, 'going to be taking bone from the back of your jaw and screwing it in here (showing me on ex-rays, like that's really English to me!) If we need to - we'll take some from the chin area - ack! Wait a minute, CHIN AREA??? Like - isn't that going to leave a bruise? 'Donna, you're going to have quite a bruise anyway, this is major surgery.' Hangs head - me, that is. Well, at least it was scheduled after all of my business meetings. My sweetie is still taking really good care of me. Tonight - Christmas night, I ate my first full meal - last one for a while because I'm in a lot of pain now, but it was yummy, and I did get to help cook most of it. We were able to laugh a bit throughout this entire process, no talking really because at first I sounded like Scooby Dooby Doo, then like Sylvester the Cat (still do when my mouth starts to hurt because my tongue swells badly.) But we go on - life is good, it's wonderful, today is the day our Lord and Savior was born to save us all!
Our garden still has it's lovely visitors - even though we have had many nights at 25 degrees. Because we are so close to the coast, we still get many, many hummingbirds. They must know how much we love them, as we are still feeding them at the rate of - - - drum roll please - - - one half gallon of sugar water A DAY!! We have two feeders up, about 10' apart or so, and they love our home we have for them!
We have about 2 months when we have no birds at all, and take the feeders down - usually January or so, then one will go up for a month around March, then the other goes up shortly after that. At first, we will get One male who will try to lay claim to the feeder - but when all come
Then twist the chain 10, pull through the next chain 10 and repeat until all are finished.
It's actually very pretty and looks as if it's braided strands and not twisted and brought through.
These are my kids who do costuming professionally. She does the sewing of costumes of fabrics and leathers,
he does all of the props or items fabricated in different metals or plastics. They are an amazing team together!
And, so with that my good blogging buddies, as Yoshi to the right is ready to say good bye for now - I promise it won't be another 4 months before I stop back by. I do get by to see many of your blogs, but have just not had time, as you read to leave messages.
May God bless each and every one of you, keep you safe, loved and forever thankful we live in the greatest country in the world.
For those who have soldiers away from home, God bless you and them. Thank them and thank you for your service to our country. Without them standing on the front lines, keeping our liberty and freedom, and you all keeping the home fires burning, we would not live in the greatest country any longer. God bless you all.
May you all have a wonderful, healthy, and Happy New Year! May it be all you want it to be, bring you the happiness you deserve, the prosperity you work for and the health our Lord bestows on you. This new year I look forward to better health, a brand new Great Granddaughter (Grandson and new Granddaughter will be having her in March) and a wonderful new year.
Blessings and hugs,

Throughout its history, Spain has been occupied by people from a number of different countries. This has led to a varied culture with a number of different influences. The architecture in the area alone has Roman, Moorish, and Christian influence.
Spain has claimed varying levels of power throughout its history. At one time it was one of the most powerful countries in the world. Following its heyday, there were wars and political strife, including a dictatorship that dragged its economy down. Modern Spain has experienced a resurgence, but evidence of the dark days are still present throughout the country in various ways.
At one point Spain was ruled by the Roman Empire. Following the fall of the empire, Moorish invaders took hold of Spain until about 1000 AD. At this time Christians tried to drive Islam from the country and a number of wars broke out between the two opposing religious forces.
Ferdinand and Isabella
During the 15th century, Spain was ruled by two Christian kingdoms that were united through marriage. Ferdinand and Isabella represented the
Castilles and the Aragons, and served as a turning point in Spanish history. Political, religious, and economic power all fell under one family and Catholicism became the nation's official religion. Muslims unwilling to convert were expelled, imprisoned, or put to death.
It was under the rule of Ferdinand and Isabella that America was discovered by Europeans. The royals funded Christopher Columbus' journey to the New World, hoping to find a direct route to the east for spices. This discovery made Spain stronger than ever before in the country's history. During this time Spain acquired territories around the globe including the Canary Islands, Naples, and Navarre.
The Hapsburgs and the Bourbons
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Spain was ruled by the Hapsburgs. The Spanish Empire was growing and all of European politics leaned on Spain for strength. The Hapsburgs fell from power following the War of the Succession to the Spanish Crown in the early 1700s. The Hapsburg reign was followed by the Bourbons, who took over during the 18th century. The country was ruled by a monarchy into the 20th century.
Decline and Resurgence
Spain's Civil War erupted in the 1930s when left and right wing political groups both wanted power. Nationalists won the battle and installed the dictator Francisco Franco. The war had drained the country economically and Spain continued its decline under Franco's fascist government. It was not until Franco's death in 1975 that the country began to grow strong again. Prince Juan Carlos was instrumental in moving the country toward democracy following Franco's death and is often credited with having saved Spain economically and politically. His period of leadership was capped off with the adoption of a new Spanish Constitution on December 6, 1978.
More recently, Spanish voters have elected leaders from the Spanish Socialist Worker Party, which won elections in 1886, 1989, and 1993. Today Spain is one of the most visited countries in Europe and has escaped much of the turmoil that is occurring in other European countries due to the economy.

…in the winter when you're not in England? Well, we are beginning to have more of a definitive idea!
Thanks to satellite-tracking studies and sightings of ringed birds, we have learned that most UK Ospreys winter in West Africa, usually in The Gambia and Senegal. We are lucky enough to be aware of the wintering locations of some Rutland birds. Due to her satellite transmitter, we know that 30(05) winters in Senegal, and 5F(12) has been seen on her wintering grounds in The Gambia several times. Now, thanks to a trip to West Africa in January 2016 and a bit (or a lot) of luck, we also know where another of our birds, 32(11), winters. Since we returned from our trip this year, we have had more reports of sightings of Rutland Ospreys, thanks to the birds' colour rings. As a result, we now know where another two of our birds spend the winter months!
Firstly, we send our thanks to Rafa Benjumea, who spotted a Rutland male, 06(09), in Senegal this year! 06(09) fledged from an off-site nest in 2009. He bred in 2014 and 2015, raising one and then two chicks respectively. Rafa and colleague Blanca Pérez are ornithologists working in Senegal for the project Tougoupeul – (click here for more information). They spotted 06(09) in November 2015 when they were counting birds at the Parc National de la Langue de Barbarie in Senegal – not all that far from where John, Paul and I were watching 30(05) just a few weeks ago!
Rafa and Blanca saw 06 on three separate occasions, 11th, 14th and 15th November 2015. This shows that this particular location is 06's wintering site, and he has likely been wintering there since he was a juvenile in the winter of 2009. Here are some photographs, taken by Rafa Benjumea, of 06(09).
The Osprey team visited this site in 2011, so 06(09) must have been there somewhere! It looks like a beautiful place – here are a few of John's photos from the team's visit in January 2011.
To see Rafa's website and for information about his birding tours in Andalucia, click here.
As I mentioned above, we know that most UK Ospreys winter in West Africa – not all of them do. There have been reports of Ospreys from the UK spending the winter in southern Europe, such as 06(01), a female translocated to Rutland in 2001 who wintered in Portugal, and AA1 or "Caledonia", a 2012 female chick from Loch Garten who wintered in Spain. We now know of another bird who winters in Spain! 1J(13) is a male Osprey who fledged from the Manton Bay nest in 2013. He first came back to Rutland in June 2015, and was subsequently seen at Fishlake Meadows in Hampshire a few months later.
We send our thanks to Rafa Garcia, who sent us his report of 1J, seen on 24th January 2016 at San José del Palmar Saltpan, Puerto Real, Cádiz, Spain!
Tim and Paul were at this site in 2008, and say it is a great spot for Ospreys. Here are Rafa Garcia's photographs of 1J.
These reports of Ospreys from other countries emphasises the importance of colour ringing, and also shows that the awareness of Ospreys outside of the UK is increasing. It is wonderful to know more about where our birds go when they leave us each autumn, and these reports prove that they are finding suitable wintering locations and are safely returning there each year. We thank Rafa Benjumea and Rafa Garcia once again for their reports and photographs of their sightings.

Perversor – The Shadow of Abomination
Perversor is a 4-piece from Chile who plays a style that I would describe as bestial blackened deathrash. Influenced heavily by the old-school Brazilian scene, "The Shadow of Abomination" is the bands fourth release and the follow up to their killer split with Mexican warmonger's Morbosidad.
Stylistically the band aims for a straightforward evil and bestial attack not unlike legendary acts Sarcofago, Bathory, Possessed and Sodom in their early days. Simplistic yet hard-hitting and fast riffs will have you banging your head like there's no tomorrow, the drums pummel inside your skull like some kind of batshit insane machinegunner, the bass is there doing it's thing and the vocals utter evil war commands from a bit back in the mix, which provides an "ominous" and old-school effect.
Choosing a favourite track on this 5 song, 11 minute EP would just be fucking stupid as each track is as good as the one before and after it. There's nothing original in the slightest to be found here, but as I've said many times before; that's the beauty of old-school devilish metal such as this. This is underground metal made for underground metal fans by underground metal fans.
I'll be eagerly awaiting the next slab of demon metal these bastards puke out!

Variantes del M13
The M13 enjoyed better armor than its predecessor, the M11, while maintaining the 30 mm frontal armor. The front of the turret is increased to 42 mm (instead of the M11 30 mm), 25 mm in the lateral (M11 was 15 mm) and 15 mm at the top. One of his weaknesses was that available only 6 mm of armor on the bottom which made him very vulnerable to mines. The configuration was normal for these vehicles with four crew occupying the fighting compartment, engine at the rear of the vehicle and the transmission in the front. The driver and radio operator (who was also responsible for the hull machine gun) stood at the front while the commander and gunner turret occupied.
The suspension was carried out by two bogies with eight pairs of small wheels rolling. Their caterpillars were conventional and rather narrow which hindered their mobility by something soft, like the desert where it was widely used, however enjoyed very good mobility in mountainous terrain due to the suspension assembly and undercarriage. The power plant was diesel and providing an output of 125 hp to the set.
The main armament was provided by a 47 mm gun could penetrate 45 mm of armor at 500 yards away. This may seem small but it was enough to meet the British Cruiser tanks. For the main armament was stored a total of 104 missiles, including piercing and HE. To his defense nearly had three or four machine guns, one coaxial and two mounted on the hull. For air defense systems are used to carry a flexible mounting on the turret. Two periscopes located in the turret facilitated vision for the gunner and the commander of the cart.
Before the end of 1940 was awarded the first of these vehicles, manufactured more than 700, and was followed by about 60-70 of them per month. His baptism of fire was a special unit, Babini Brigade during the December offensive. The British offensive ended with the capture of 45,000 Italian soldiers at the cost of 456 men. During the operation of the British success in the Italian lines penetrated beyond Babini Brigade positions, between 6 and 7 February 20 M13/40 were destroyed. The last six of them managed to enter command post near the British but were destroyed one by one by a single 40-mm anti-tank gun (2 Pdr). After the debacle some M11 and M13 were used by equipping the 2/6th Australian Cavalry Regiment of the Royal Tank Regiment 6th until the spring of 1941 that were destroyed for lack of fuel.
During the siege of Tobruk, in April 1941, the Ariete Division M13 some successes on the Matildas. When the Afrika Korps arrived Italians possessed a total of 240 M13 and M14 deployed units. The situation became even more complicated for Italian cars in 1942 when new players come to the desert, the M3 Grant and Crusader III. They were armed with a cannon of 6 Pdr which increased over the distance between them. In an attempt to increase their protection many Italian crews piled sandbags in front with track links. This, however, increasing its weight and making slower increasing its maintenance requirement. In an attempt to align its forces are equipped at least one company in each battalion with armored assault gun Semovente 75/18.
When did the M13 was comparable to their counterparts from other nationalities, such as the British Vickers or Soviet T-26. During 1940-41 the 47 mm gun was over two British pdr (40 mm) arming their vehicles as it was over long and had better ballistic performance and range. At that time the Germans had their vehicles armed with 20 guns and 37 mm and it was not until 1942 when the race was unleashed shield/barrel. The main armament was undoubtedly the best factor for the M13 lightweight Italian.
In its defects can mention its power plant, which was acceptable but not developed adequate power to the vehicle or reliability enjoyed. This was due to the rider on the same engine as its predecessor, the M11, but had to move more weight to what your speed down. His armor was riveted, an already outdated and that was a danger to those who should protect as they impact on one rivet propel the inside as a projectile. The turret also played against him as it was of only two crew which diminished its effectiveness. Yet this car remained in service after the war until the early 70s.

Monday, September 8th, 2014
I have been thinking about how CEO's need to have the right combination of tender and tough. Most tend in one direction or the other.
There is no tougher job than the CEO role IF you care about your business AND the people in it–equally. I know there are top leaders who are pure jerks, wanting only the power and the money and the status. Luckily, I haven't worked with them directly. I write from my experience, not from theory. I may have been extraordinarily lucky–or naive, but I worked with leaders who wanted the business to thrive and the people to thrive as well. Not that they didn't enjoy their own success.
I've watched and helped CEO's grow into their role and how they seasoned into
well rounded leaders. If they started out tender, they blundered in one way.
If they started out tough, they blundered in a different way. All CEO's blunder and some learn!! Learning to add toughness to tenderness is as difficult as adding some tenderness to toughness.
Learning to fire a colleague you enjoy
Facing a hostile board
Hurting many people to save most people
Knowing quite a few people criticize you daily and enjoy your mistakes
Making a big bad decision that is humiliating and takes recovery measures
These things make you tough.
You have to armor yourself.
AND you have to be able to take the armor off to:
Talk straight without harming
Address a large group of people from your heart, not just your head
Reflect on your own feelings to guide and change your behavior
Know when you are defeated and need support of all kinds
Open yourself to listening to your people and your company
Trust your intuition
Balancing tender and tough, not letting one dominate, being able to use both faculties is what makes a great beyond good CEO. It's a choice to do the difficult.

On Monday, a class from the Iowa State University Office of Precollegiate Programs for Talented and Gifted (OPPTAG) visited Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA). The course was titled "Cook Your Way Through U.S. History." In the SCUA classroom, I demonstrated how to find SCUA materials on their topic (cookbooks) and reviewed procedures and handling guidelines in our reading room. Amy Bishop, Rare Books and Manuscripts Archivist, reviewed different cookbooks from Rare Books and recipes from our Manuscript Collections & University Archives and provided students with context on the collections and books.
The students then came into our reading room and looked for historic recipes they plan to cook this week. You should come into our reading room too and check out our cool cookbooks! We're open Monday-Friday from 10-4! You can also check out some selected cookbooks online in the Library's Digital Collections.

Temperatures are expected to plummet as low as -15C in parts of the UK over the coming days as several inches of snowfall threatens to block roads and railways.
Even London could see light snow as the cold snap takes hold, bringing ice, frost and Arctic winds to the country.
Amber and yellow warnings are in place on Wednesday and Thursday in parts of northern England and Scotland, with the heaviest snow arriving in Shetland and border regions tonight.
The Met Office is urging people to prepare for "very difficult travelling conditions" and possible disruption to transport and power supplies, while cold alerts have been issued by Public Health England and charities for asthma sufferers and the elderly.
Most places are already feeling colder and it was a chilly night last night," she said.
"A band of light rain is spreading east and those showers will turn to snow across the north.
"Lower ground could see 3-6cm, while higher ground could have up to 10cm, which will make for some tricky conditions up there.
"Elsewhere, showery rain will be moving eastwards across England and Wales, with quite heavy bursts of rain for a time."
As the cold air sinks southwards on Thursday, the rain could turn into wintery showers and the "odd flake of snow" that will be unlikely to settle across central England.
"In other places it will be dry and mostly cold, with a sharp overnight frost," Ms Sharples said.
"It's possible that there will be a few flakes coming down in London but it's more likely to be further north.
"Through the weekend it will get even colder. Saturday night into Sunday looks to be the coldest.
"It will depend on how much snow is lying but I suspect temperatures into the double figures negative, between -10 and -15C in remote areas of Scotland.
"Places without snow will be just below freezing -5C will be seen fairly widely, which is a change from what we've been seeing."
The sub-zero temperatures come after the warmest December on record, which was also one of the wettest ever with a succession of storms that devastating floods.
Officials have urged families to help protect their relatives from the sudden cold snap.
Dr Angie Bone, head of protection at Public Health England, said: "Over the past few weeks we've had some very disruptive weather, but temperatures have been quite mild – now the weather will be colder over much of the country, which will be a significant change.
"It's so important to remember that cold does kill, even in places where the temperatures aren't at their lowest. Most of our advice at PHE on keeping warm in cold weather may seem like common sense but people should think about how the cold weather can affect them."
Homes should be heated to at least 18C and the elderly and anyone suffering from a cold-affected condition should have plenty of hot drinks and get a flu vaccination if they are eligible, she said.

All I can tell you is that I am actively working on a Go-based project using 2018.3.0f2 and that checklist was the first thing I checked. FWIW I am using Single-pass rendering.bcoyle said:@citizen12
You think I should download the latest Unity? Currently I've been using 2017.3.1p4 - hmm. I like your checklist. Pretty sure I hit most of those on the checklist, as I did create a new project for testing Oculus GO, and ran through all the Oculus guides on settings for Unity/Android setup. At least I think I hit it all...
Maybe I'll get the latest Unity and run through it again. Hoo boy.

Honoring Valor, Fidelity and Sacrifice at National D-Day Memorial
The National D-Day Memorial is located in Bedford, Virginia. This site in in the Blue Ridge Mountains in rural southwest Virginia was chosen because it was the community the suffered the most per capita D-Day losses in the nation.
There were 150,000 Allied troops that landed on the heavily fortified beaches of Normandy, including 34 troops from Bedford. Of the 9,000 killed and wounded during the D-Day invasion, 19 of the Boys of Bedford paid the ultimate price to preserve freedom and four more died later during the Normandy campaign.
The National D-Day Memorial was dedicated on June 6th, 2001 by President George W. Bush. America's 43rd Commander-in-Chief implored:
"Fifty-seven years ago, America and the nations of Europe formed a bond that has never been broken. And all of us incurred a debt that can never be repaid. Today, as America dedicates our D-Day Memorial, we pray that our country will always be worthy of the courage that delivered us from evil and saved the free world."
The National D-Day Memorial honors by name all 4,413 Allied soldiers who died on D-Day during Operation Overlord (the actual invasion) and Operation Neptune (transporting the troops across the English channel). But the 88 acre National D-Day Memorial does much more serve as a site for necrology. The Memorial seeks to tell the story of D-Day , from its planning, execution and aftermath.
The first Plaza is a stylized English garden symbolizes the planning and preparations for the greatest amphibious invasion in history. The Reynolds Garden is dedicated to the visionary industrialist who forsaw America's need for aluminum. In the late 1930s, Richard Reynolds put his fortune and reputation on the line to provide enough aluminum for the United States to build and sustain the air force that gave the Allies overwhelming air superiority for the retaking of Europe on D-Day.
The plaza is in the shape of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force combat patch. Following British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's sense of history and drama, the invasion code name was Overlord, evoking crusader knights and chivalric quests, the SHAEF insignia features a crusader shield with a flaming sword of expulsion.
The Reynolds Garden is peaked by a domed Tuscan folly with a full figured bronze of General Dwight Eisenhower standing below a canopied mosaic of the D-Day battle map. This classical revival feature recalls the architecture of Southwick House, where Ike decided to launch the invasion despite less than ideal weather.
The the parameter of the plaza also includes busts of the six Allied Generals who were involved with D-Day invasion: Air Chief Marshal Tedder, Air Chief Marshal, Leigh-Mallory, Admiral Ramsey, Field Marshall Montgomery, Lt. General Omar Bradley, and Lt. General Walter Smith.

The planners of the National D-Day Memorial had not forgotten the horrors of war along with the valor, fidelity and sacrifice of Allied troops. The final section of the National D-Day Memorial includes a haunting bronze of Edmond de Laheudri's Le Monument aux Morts (1921), which stood monument to those fallen in combat in the Great War (a.k.a. World War I) besides St. Aignan in Trevieres, France. Shortly after the Allied D-Day invasion, there was an intense battle around the statue during which removed the face and some of the fingers of the doughboy Nike.

Transformed by battle, Le Monument aux Morts stands in Trevieres and at the National D-Day memorial as a haunting testament to the destructiveness of war, the fleeting fruits of victory and the fragility of peace.

The latter bust went over like a lead zepplin with veterans' groups as Stalin had no involvement with the Allies in the Western front and arguably triggered the Cold War with forceful imposition of communism in most places where the Red Army occupied. While the National D-Day Memorial board still believed that war makes strange bedfellows and wanted to depict that within the site, they bowed to public pressure and relocated the Stalin bust. Perhaps when the interpretation center is completed with a monument to post World War II Secretary of State George Marshall, there will be a fuller picture of the interpreted history. For now, Stalin is not in "The Winner's Circle". However, based upon the horrors depicted in the transformed Le Monument aux Morts, it is questionable if anyone is truly a winner in the aftermath of war.
