Work continued from yesterday with Eimear planning in Area 1 (Cutting 6), Matt excavating features in Area 2 (Cutting 7), Niamh extending the cutting to expose the full extent of the grave cut, and the rest of the team taking down the rest of the base of ploughsoil material in Cutting 8. Kevin, our geophysical surveyor, was also on site again to monitor progress, compare the excavated features to the anomalies identified in the initial surveys and take some additional readings.
In Area 1, Cutting 6, Eimear's plan is nearing completion. The process is taking some time because of the size of the cutting and the complexity of the features and soils there. However, she is nearly finished and we will be taking levels on the surface tomorrow morning and assigning numbers to each of the separate fills and features. We even made a start this afternoon on one spread of material that seems to be occupation/refuse spread associated with the occupation of the oval enclosure. This appears to overlie the lower north-south ditch fill so we set Igor up to put a section across it to assess its depth. By tomorrow we will hopefully know what its exact relationship is to the other features and fills around it.
Matt continued to deal with other features in Cutting 7 while Niamh and Sarah excavated the 1m x 0.5m extension to the cutting to fully open up the grave cut. His feature today, numbered F.705, appeared on the surface as a spread of charcoal flecked soil extending over an area c.1m in extent and disappearing beneath the northern baulk. As Matt excavated the feature revealed itself to be small furnace with a number of heat-shattered stones around and in it. The fill is mainly charcoal-rich soil, which we sampled. There was also a stone with a distinct concretion suggestive of some sort of slag, waste material from an industrial process, possibly metalworking. The base of the feature was reddened, baked soil, indicating intense heat. The proximity of this feature to the grave is interesting as it is not unusual to have such industrial features close to burials on non-ecclesiastical sites. Niamh, Sarah and Ciara gradually removed all of the ploughsoil from the extension and revealed the line of the grave cut retrieving a fragment of cranium from the ploughsoil Matt then added this detail to the previously drawn plan and proceeded to tidy up the area and continue to excavate it.
In Cutting 8 the team there continued to remove, using trowels, the base of ploughsoil/interface layer. At the southern end of the cutting Igor had recovered a number of pieces of human bone and a tooth which indicates that there were probably other graves in that area which are now destroyed by ploughing. There is also a small gully-like feature here which appears to be relatively late in date and may be associated with later agricultural activity. Also at the southern end of the cutting, Lisa found her first feature. It looks at this stage like a very nice post-hole – an area of loose darker soil surrounded by a ring of packing stones. We will take a closer look at it in due course.
Kevin was on hand again to look at how work was progressing. He took additional magnetic susceptibility readings from the excavated surfaces of each of the cuttings and recorded interesting results. The values were all significantly higher than those recorded at the surface prior to excavation. There will be a very useful dataset gathered by the end of the excavation to carry out detailed comparisons between pre-excavation surface readings and post excavation readings as well as surface soil samples and 'top of archaeology' soil samples. Kevin also took the opportunity to scan the spoil heaps with a metal detector to ensure that we hadn't missed anything (I don't think we have but you never know..!) and he also scanned the unexcavated surfaces around the cuttings. In the afternoon, Kevin used a total station to survey in some of the major features identified on the site so far like the grave cut and the edges of the ditches in Area 1 Cutting 6.
In the afternoon we had a bit of diversion when the group of students currently working a the Blackfriary site in Trim paid us a visit. They are part of the Irish Archaeological Field School and on their way they visited the Bective site. I think the students enjoyed their visit and they told us that it was quite different to the other two sites.
Day 9 – Time to start recording
Today promised to be another fantastic day weatherwise and it was. However, there was a little bit of cloud and a bit of a breeze which made it a bit more bearable. The team in Area 1 continued to clear off the last layer of ploughsoil and expose the surfaces of the features underneath. They have now reached the topmost rows in the trench and the whole surface will have been cleared by tomorrow.
It is looking very well and, as outlined yesterday, major features are visible. It will be very interesting to record these and then begin to dig them one-by-one. Some nice finds came up again today – several pieces of flint and a fragment of another blue glass bead, probably dating to the early medieval phase of occupation. The bead was not complete like the previous one and Jamie, who found it, did very well to spot it. The fragment is so small it wouldn't have been picked up in the sieve either. It seems to have been more delicate and thin than the one from last week.
In Area 2 the same questions dogged the team there – have we got base of ploughsoil or is there a spread of occupation material? It seems clear now that there is, in fact, a spread of material below the base of ploughsoil which has frequent large pieces of animal bone – a good indicator that it is undisturbed by ploughing as this would cause a relatively delicate material like bone to break down into smaller pieces. We took the decision to expose this layer as fully as possible and then record it by taking photographs the surface and then drawing a scale plan of it.
While this final clean-back was being completed, a couple of possible features became apparent. These are small circular or sub-circular areas of slightly darker soil with charcoal flecking, and may be something like post holes. When the planning is finished, we will take a closer look at them. Matt set up to draw the plan using a long tape to orient himself relative to the site grid and a planning frame to help draw the detail on the surface, metre square by metre square. You don't have to be an artist to do this – it is a technical rather than an artistic process – but, like so much in archaeology, it requires time, patience and a thorough meticulous approach.
The others in the Area 2 team were now redundant – as Matt was busy planning, they couldn't dig in that cutting or they would be in the way. Also, as the trowelers began to finish their strips in Area 1 they came across to Area 2 to join the diggers there. They started work on a third cutting which will ultimately join with Cutting 7. This is a 2m x 7m trench extending southwards and will investigate further anomalies identified in the magnetic gradiometry there. As with the previous trenches, we used long tapes set out between the site grid pegs to position the trench relative to the grid and set out a line to define the edges. This time we cleared off the loose stalks from the surface to help with the digging and sieveing process. The first step, however, before the digging could begin, was to take a series of magnetic susceptibility soil samples, to keep a consistent record. By late afternoon the first square had been almost completely dug and sieved. More of the same tomorrow; hopefully the weather will hold up, although the forecast is not good. We'll take it as it comes.
Day 7 – Those wascally wabbits
Our nocturnal visitors had been back again to the site and this time they seem to have tried to set up residence in the Area 1 spoil heap. When we arrived down to the site this morning there were several burrows dug into the heap with a series of cute little footprints all around. They seem to have given up, however, as the holes weren't too deep and were apparently unoccupied. As long as they confine themselves to the spoil heap I don't mind too much – on some other sites I have dug on rabbit burrows had done a lot of damage to the archaeology. For some reason they don't seem to be interested in the Area 2 spoil heaps.
On the work front the last of the ploughsoil was taken down – two half squares and one full square. This was easily achieved before the morning break and there was a certain air of proud satisfaction at the final moment. 30 square metres of ploughsoil removed and sieved since the start of the dig. After the break we took a second series of magnetic susceptibility samples from the base of ploughsoil using plastic implements in order to reduce the possibility of contamination. One sample was taken from each metre square and duly brought up to the cabin at lunch time. Once this was done we were ready to start troweling the surface to remove the last skim of ploughsoil and start identifying the features. Working from east to west in column I squares 1-5, we uncovered a band of hard, compact, yellowish soil which gradually gave way to darker slightly less compact, more fill-like soil with frequent flecks and larger pieces of charcoal and animal bone, also with occasional pieces of flint. This looks like the top of the fill of the north-south ditch identified in the geophysics. We will continue tomorrow and see what emerges.
In Area 2 Matt, Tomás and Ciara continued to take down the last skim of ploughsoil using a combination of troweling and mattocking. As described yesterday, a number of possible features had been identified yesterday along the northern side of the cutting. However, there were no similar features visible elsewhere in the cutting that might correspond the the geophysical anomalies. Matt carried out a sondage, or test area, in the extreme southwest corner of the trench to determine exactly where subsoil was located and it emerged that there was another 10 to 15cm to be taken down. Thus, although the northern edge was relatively clear, there seems to be a shallow wedge of ploughsoil thickening towards the southern side of the cutting. There is usually an occasionally disturbed zone at the very base of the ploughsoil which is transitional between fully disturbed ploughsoil and never disturbed natural/subsoil with archaeological features. When ploughing takes place in a field, it doesnt necessarily plough to exactly the same depth as previous years with the result that there is no clear 'line' or interface between ploughsoil and 'unploughed' soil. Sometimes, depending on local soils, it is difficult to easily distinguish between regularly ploughed ploughsoil, occasionally ploughed base of ploughsoil and subsoil and it takes a bit of deliberation to establish where each ends and the next begins. Tomorrow they will remove this and trowel the surface back and hopefully we will see some more features.
Day 6 – Moving up a gear.
We all arrived down to the site hut revitalised, reinvigorated and ready for the new week. We were close to being completely free of the monotony of mattocking, shoveling and sieving through ploughsoil, although the finds we are coming across are nice. In Area 1 at the start of the day there were still 10 square metres to be dug away and throughout the day the team there got through seven and two half squares. Tomorrow, there are only two half-squares and one full one to go. Once they are gone, we will be nearly ready to begin to search for the features identified in the geophysical surveys carried out by Kevin before the dig started up. In the plot the cutting itself is made up of columns G, H and I and extends from row 1 to row 10. This takes in two very distinct features: one, a possible ditch running from north to south (from previous geophysical surveys this seems to be the innermost enclosure defining the knoll of high ground) and the second, at a higher level and cutting the other feature curving in from the middle of the right side to the bottom of the panel (this seems to be a separate oval enclosure superimposed on the other ditch. See the original plot HERE). This cutting will investigate the exact relationship between these two separate features and hopefully will yield material for dating.
In Area 2, they started the day with just two metre squares to go and these were quickly removed and sieved. Once this was completed, we took another series of soil samples for lab magnetic susceptibility measurements using the same grid as before. Thus we will be able to compare values taken from the field surface to those at the base of ploughsoil. Once this was done the cutting was ready to be troweled back. There was still a layer of ploughsoil over the cutting – we deliberately didn't remove everything when we were mattocking off the ploughsoil partly to protect the site from being open too long and from the impact of people crossing over and back as they work. Trowelling, with the help of some light mattocking where necessary, is the next step taken to remove any remaining layer of disturbed ploughsoil and begin to identify the features underneath. We are lucky in that we have a very detailed set of geophysical plots to guide us as to what to expect. However, the picture here is less clear with a series of features that are unfortunately less identifiable than those in Area 1. The excavation here is to explore the nature of these possible features – our hunch is that they may be houses because of their location within the innermost enclosure on the highest point in the site – but we will be scratching our heads if we don't end up finding the features indicated on the geophysical plots. The cutting itself measures 5m x 4m and is located between squares Q10-13 and U10-13 although this will probably be extended southwards at a later stage.
The plan for 2011
Based on the geophysics carried out in August 2010 immediately after last summer's excavations, I put in an application to the Royal Irish Academy for further funding to return to the site and excavate in the core area on the top of the knoll. This appears to have been the focus of all the activity on the site. The lithic scatter is clearly centered on this feature and the later enclosures all encircle it. Standing on top of the knoll, it is not hard to see why it would have been an attractive spot for a settlement, whatever the period, dominating the land to the south and with a good view over the river while being out of the reach of the winter floods. Happily, the application to the RIA was successful and work will start again on the site on 4th July.
Two areas of potential were identified. This was a difficult process firstly because of the huge overall size of the site. The time or the resources are not available to dig everything or even a large sample of the site so positioning cuttings is like playing 'pin the tail on the donkey'. However, the geophysics are a big help. Choosing areas to focus was also difficult because it is almost impossible to identify features in the geophysics that are more likely to be early (ideally prehistoric and preferably neolithic). You normally get very little indication of the date of features from geophysical plots unless they are very recognisable. The chance that all such early features are long gone, destroyed by over zealous and unwitting early medieval remodelling, is constantly at the back of my mind.
Area 1
This is located over the junction between the oval enclosure and the innermost D-shaped enclosure lying beneath it. See the last post for a discussion of these features. The innermost D-shaped enclosure feature appears to define the top of the knoll or topographic high and appears to be quite different in character to the other ditches. The character of the feature on the magnetometry plot shows it to be narrower and less magnetic than the other enclosures. The magnetometry plot also shows that it is clearly cut by the oval enclosure suggesting a relative chronological relationship between the features. The earth resistance plot (Figure 2, last post) shows that the inner enclosure feature encloses an area of high resistance with a sharp delineation between the high-resistance inner area and the low resistance area immediately outside. The junction between the two areas appears to be particularly sharp and suggests a possible stone facing/revetment feature. This again suggests that the method used to construct the inner enclosure is different to that of the other enclosures. The area chosen lies well within the area defined by the lithic scatter. It is proposed to open a trench over the junction between the two ditches on the western side of the oval enclosure in order to examine the relationship between these features. Hopefully, it will be possible to retrieve material suitable for dating from the earlier enclosure. Given the apparent relationship between the oval enclosure and this inner enclosure, it is possible that the inner enclosure is early in date and possibly prehistoric.
Area 2
The second area of potential is also in the core area close to the highest point on the knoll. It shows up in the magnetic data as a circular cut feature of slightly positive magnetic gradient, c. 6m in diameter and possible with a centrally placed posthole and there are other possible pits or postholes immediately outside it. There is an area of lower resistance in the same location on the earth resistance plot (Figure 2, last post) and the magnetic susceptibility plot also indicates an almost discrete area of enhanced magnetic susceptibility to the north of the main area of enhancement (Figure 2, below). The feature lies at the north-eastern corner of the area defined by the lithic scatter. Given that this feature appears to be relatively well preserved and that it is potentially prehistoric in date based on its position and morphology, it is proposed to excavate a cutting over this feature to establish its date.
Geophysical Survey 2010
Following the surprise development in the excavation last year where it was conclusively established that the enclosures on the site are likely to be early medieval in date (and probably between 7th-11th century AD), it was decided to carry out further geophysical survey over the core area of the site on the top of the knoll within the tillage field. This was clearly a focus of activity in prehistoric times because of the extensive lithic (flint) scatter found there. It also seems to have been a focus during the early medieval period as this is the area central to all of the enclosures.
Because of the lithic scatter, this area remained the best candidate area for identifying prehistoric activity. However, because of the apparent intensity of activity in the early medieval period, there is a chance that any prehistoric features that may once have existed are completely destroyed and disturbed.
With these problems in mind, a second programme of geophysical survey was carried out in August 2010 at a higher resolution than the original geophysical surveys. The hope was to identify more clearly any features that might be earlier than the early medieval enclosures. Three high resloution surveys were carried out: magnetic gradiometry (Figure 1), earth resistance (Figure 2) and magnetic susceptibility (Figure 3). See the following figures for the results of each of these.
The magnetic gradiometry has shown up more detail than was apparent on the original survey. For example, the second enclosure from the outside clearly deviates from its curvilinear path as we move northwards towards the terrace slope. This may be a modification of an earlier version of the enclosure as there are hints of an earlier, less definite enclosure continuing northwards. The other feature of interest is the relationship between the inner complete oval enclosure and the D-shaped enclosure beneath it. The oval enclosure looks like it cuts through the other enclosure and thus is later in date. Furthermore, there is a difference in the quality of the magnetic response between the two features suggesting that they are constructed differently. The oval enclosure is more similar in the character of its response to the other, outer, enclosures. There seems to be a contrast between the innermost D-shaped enclosure and the rest of the enclosures, possibly suggesting different construction techniques which may be due to their being constructed at different dates. Clearly, the innermost D-shaped enclosure is earlier than the oval one. The question is how much earlier. Are we looking at a possible prehistoric enclosure?
The contrast between the different enclosures noticed in the magnetic gradiometry is replicated to some degree in the earth resistance plot in Figure 2 so what we are seeing is likely to be real and reflect the real character of the features themselves. The innermost D-shaped enclosure is almost invisible on this plot, especially along its western side. At the southern end of this inner enclosure feature there is an area of high resistance with a sharp delineation between the high-resistance (light coloured in the plot above) inner area and the low resistance area immediately outside (dark coloured). The junction between the two areas appears to be particularly sharp and suggests a possible stone facing/revetment feature.
The magnetic susceptibility plot shows an area where the soils have been strongly altered by activities like burning and the disposal of organic waste. It shows a clear and distinct focus of activity which seems to be contained to the west by the third enclosure from the edge. It extends a lot further to the south than the line of this ditch and continues on outside the survey area. There is a band of low values running in a north-south direction through the middle of the zone of enhancement which may be due to the way the space was utilised in the past, or it may be due to sampling or post-depositional processes. There seems to be a slightly separate elongated area of enhancement running east-west along the northern boundary of the field which may be a secondary activity focus. It may be significant that this is focused on the southern side of the highest point of the topographic knoll.
Day 15: Friday fun day
There has been a bit of coverage of a recent discovery of a low-visibility monument very close to Stonehenge. This was discovered during an intense geophysical survey of the area by English Heritage and is part of a survey that is planned to last three years. The site is interesting and, as they said themselves, it bodes very well for the rest of their work to have found a site so quickly.
You can view some of the BBC's reports at this link: Stonehenge.
Reports of this discovery were carried on most of the UK national TV news programmes, and although this is the silly season, I can't help wondering whether there is a difference in the attitudes to new archaeological discoveries in Britain and Ireland. Geophysical survey work like this has been going on over the past three years here in the Brú na Bóinne WHS, albeit on a smaller scale, which has received scant attention. By contrast, there has been a considerable amount of media interest in the excavation at Rossnaree, at least at a local level. It seems that in the public (or media) consciousness here, the work of archaeologists is perceived as digging holes in the ground and finding stuff. As followers of this blog (and others) will know, there is a lot more work involved in archaeology than just excavation.
We have sites just as good as what was discovered at Stonehenge the other day. Just by way of comparison, the new Stonehenge site is about 25m in diameter. The Rossnaree site is about ten times larger, measuring about 250m east-west and 200m north south. The archaeology of Brú na Bóinne and many other parts of our country are in no way lower quality or less interesting than that of Stonehenge or elsewhere and we (archaeologists and media) should be doing more to celebrate this rich and diverse aspect of our heritage. There is definitely scope for a Stonehenge-type geophysical survey project, similarly structured and resourced, in the Brú na Bóinne WHS. This is work that really needs to be done for us to more fully understand how this very important landscape was used by past generations and also to more properly take stock of the archaeological resource of the area to inform its effective presentation and management.
Anyway, back to the business of the Rossnaree excavation. We are really trying to schedule the remaining jobs to be done around the site at the moment as we look forward to our last week on site. The same work of the last few days continued in each trench. In Trench 1 Kieran, Eimear, Darren and Deirdre continued to take down and sample the levels in the ditch fill, sieving as they went. The extra manpower in this trench payed big dividends and a lot of progress was made. Just two more fills to be removed before the bottom is reached. Next week, to finish off the trench and shut it down, we will move into the western end to see how deep the stony surface is above natural. We suspect (and hope) that it is not too deep because we really don't have time to get bogged down.
The ERT section suggests that there's not too much depth in this area but we'll just have to wait and see what turns up. We had a visit from Kevin the geophysicist again today who had a few jobs to do around the site. He is dropping back on a regular basis to see how the excavation progresses and also to see how well the excavation evidence matches up with the results of his earlier geophysical surveys. In Trenches 1 & 3 he is particularly ineterested in the match because the ERT line runs straight through the trenches we dug and should match up exactly. It is relatively rare that geophysical surveyors get to match up the results of their surveys with 'reality', i.e., the excavated layers themselves. These are the opportunities afforded by research excavation – the chance to experiment a bit and learn new ways of doing things.
Kevin also decided to take another series of soil samples from Trench 4 of very closely spaced intervals. Again, this is part of a research approach and may help to determine whether this technique is worth using in similar situations on other sites. I hope all the hard work pays off!
Fridays tend to be a day when we have a nicer than normal tea break. Some of the family came by to join in and we had a nice gathering in the cabin before getting back to work down by the river. We were spoilt for choice with home-made scones, which always go down well, and Deirdre also brought some extra goodies as well. They always did say that an army marches on its stomach and it is very important to keep morale up. We'll certainly need it next week.

Client: 3AF (The French learning society in Aerospace and Astronautics)
Le French Learning Society 3AF organises each year a dozen conferences in France and around Europe. My French Communication Agency is at their side to find the perfect venues for a number of these conferences. After Brussels last year, the 2018 IAMD Conference (Missile Defense) needed a destination to host 300 participants for a 3-day event. We searched across Europe for various cities and venues that combined easy air access, relevant capacity for the conference and exhibition, as well a opportunities for evening events (cocktail and gala dinner). We prepared a comparative proposition of 3 destinations, and organised inspection visits. In the end, Stockholm and the Stockholmsmässan Congress Center was chosen, and our teams went along to negociate the terms and details of the contract.
Our intervention:
- Venue finding and pre-study on 3 destinations
- Inspection visit in Stockholm
- Negotiation of contract details with conference center, nearby hotels and other evening venues.

Artfully Done: May 2011May 7, 2011 at 1:47 am | Posted in Concept Art, Guild Wars 2, mmorpg | Comments Off on Artfully Done: May 2011
Tags: Concept Art, Guild Wars 2, MMO, mmorpg
I'm no artist but I like pretty things and tend to post beautiful art from Arenanet and other game studio concept artists. Lately I've seen a few new things.
For instance with the blog post Arenanet made about krait, Kekai Kotaki posted up a few pieces that were featured in the post.
For me the carved stone steps add a whole other dimension to the scene. My favourite piece from the set.
I'm not overly familiar with Brian Lawver, but I believe Dutch Sunshine from GuildMag tweeted about his pieces the other day, and they're pretty good. I think Dutch liked a branded bear illustration while I prefer the one below.
There are a bunch of pieces at cghub, so check out the undead chicken and weapon sets while you're there.
Finally, the big buzz over at Guild Wars 2 Guru was about Dave Bolton's blog updates. He put up 5 or so in the past few weeks. Concepts, architecture, props, orthos and icons.
So what is the big deal? Is it the amazing depiction of the mansion in Beetletun?
Is it this amazing armour set?
Uh no actually, its the icons. Whether it be the images named 'creature trophy icons' which apparently had some trying to unravel the mystery or the skill icons that name various skills and hint at their use.
Some of these images have been hanging around a long time, but for the most part they're all new to me. Wonderfully new and pretty.

vExpert Stickers – 2016
To me, the vExpert recognition means only one thing: community. As I've written in the past, I attribute much of my own success to the vExpert community…..years and years before I was accepted as one. The vExpert community has given me so much, whether it was content to learn or conversations on Twitter, my personal participation resulted in a group of people I consider close friends. I strived to become vExpert by giving back to the IT community with knowledge sharing in form of blogging, engaging with folks via Twitter and LinkedIn, and helping mentor others who strive to grow and advance their career.
It should also be clear that vExpert is not a technical certification; it is merely an award for evangelism and advocacy of VMware products and services. However, it doesn't mean it's not awesome. Access to trial keys, beta programs, special webinars, and the general community make striving for the title well worth the effort. Now that you're a member of this stellar community, why not show it off with a vExpert sticker.
This year, I decided to do something different than I've done in the past. This year's stickers are similar to what other vendors have done where the years designated as vExpert are signified by a star. You'll have the choice to pick from 1-5 stars (I know a select few have been vExpert for longer than 5 years but I can only order each design with a minimum of 50 – plus the sticker looked awfully crowded with more than 5 🙂 ).

Family Traditions
Family traditions are the rituals, practices and beliefs of a family that are handed down from one generation to the next. They can
promote a feeling of closeness
strengthen family bonds.
Create traditions on purpose.
We live in a busy, go-go-go information age. All the conveniences and distractions of modern living result in very hectic lifestyles. We don't have time for relationships. Family bonds are weakening. Extended families are often separated by great distances. Communication is difficult, at best.
Maintaining and creating meaningful family traditions counter-acts this current trend. Traditions allow families to spend time together having fun, promote a feeling of closeness, and strengthen the family unit.
Ironically enough, family traditions are founded regardless of whether or not you try.
If a family does not purposely establish a family culture full of positive and meaningful rituals and routines, the plain lack thereof becomes that family's tradition.
Happy families stay together by intentionally spending meaningful time together.
Practical Ideas
offers these practical ideas for creating meaningful family traditions:
Fun family rituals can happen daily, weekly or monthly. They can be centered around seasons or holidays. Any time period or event that occurs on a regular basis can be the catalyst for a noteworthy family ritual.
Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail!
But don't get overwhelmed.
Establishing new traditions takes time so think things through before you begin. Before creating a new (and potentially complicated) tradition, analyze the traditions and family events that you already enjoy. Are all family members involved? Does the tradition fulfill a greater purpose - such as teaching a family value? Develop and enhance your existing favorites first.
Then find the blank spots and fill in holes. Start new traditions that help accomplish a pre-identified goal. Does your family need an activity that will bring everyone together on a daily basis? Is there an upcoming holiday the kids would enjoy emphasizing? There are tons of amazing and fun-sounding ideas but resist the temptation to do them all. Pick one or two, make them meaningful and go from there.
Sometimes the best family traditions are the simplest ones. For example, I treasure the pictures taken of the kids and me each Mother's Day. You could do something as simple as this, and put the pictures onto photo mugs.
The following list of ideas is just that – ideas. While our family has enjoyed many of them, the same family traditions may or may not be right for your family.

text: These Alpine hills are home to Australia's gliding possums or 'gliders' as they are known. The largest, the Greater Glider, makes its den in ancient trees, emerging from holes after dark and clambering precariously in the outer limbs, 30m above the ground. It shares the forest with the smaller, innocuous Sugar Glider, the gregarious Yellow-bellied Glider, the tiny Feathertail Glider and other possums including Ring-tailed Possum, Brush-tailed Possum, Mountain Brushtail Possum and the rare Leadbeater's Possum. Few people get the chance to see these extraordinary animals in the wild yet they aren't hard to find, with the right equipment and a guide like Karen. We're only an hour from the city of Melbourne.

ONE - tomorrow is Halloween and there is something new. Have you heard about the meaning of the teal pumpkins? With so many kids having allergies or sensitivities to certain foods, it makes Halloween hard for the kids who want to be part of the fun and for the parents who have to worry about what their child eats. Seeing a teal colored pumpkin on a porch means that the place will be providing fun non-food treats to the little ghosts and goblins that come to visit. WADE CREEK HOUSE ANTIQUES will have fun non-food treats for those kids with sensitivities AND candy for those who don't. We think we will see more and more of these teal pumpkins in the future. This means fun for everyone.

So writers, you want to write.
Now what?
Make time to write.
But life is so busy. As a type-A mama, I struggle with my to-do list on a daily basis. If I could have my way, my home would be spotless. I'd spend half the day playing with the kids on the floor and cuddling with my husband at the end of the night. Of course, I'd also have hours to work on blogging and writing my latest novel.
But there's this pesky thing called reality.
When you have a three-year-old and a one-year-old, spotless doesn't exist.
By the end of the night, I'm too tired to enjoy time with my husband or steal a few minutes to write. The children are either sick, teething, or just plain whiny.
Each day, I'm pulled in a million directions. As writers, what do we do?
Make it happen.
Set aside a designated time to write. If you don't plan to write, it'll never happen. Just like every other area of life, prioritize. Most of my writing occurs between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. It's what works for me. I'm a night owl and the kids are asleep (most of the time).
Write when you're inspired. I like to have a schedule and a plan, but sometimes inspiration comes at the worst moments. Jot down a few notes, then write as soon as you can. Always have a phone or a notebook nearby.
Set aside a place. Since I'm still co-sleeping with my one-year-old, most of my writing occurs laying in bed, next to him. I'm propped up with pillows and typing slowly. But (almost) every Saturday, I take off for two to three (or four) hours to work on my writing. I head down the road to Crispers and I write. I get myself a soda and let the words flow. If the words don't flow, I plan what needs to happen next.
Set a goal. Each day I aim to write at least 300 words of my WIP plus work on a blog post. Now, 300 words isn't much, but it's a start. My minimum goal is 300 words, but I aim for 1,000-2,000.
So writers, what do you do to make it happen?

Laws and Ethics Can't Keep Pace with Technology
Codes we live by, laws we follow, and computers that move too fast to care.
Employers can get into legal trouble if they ask interviewees about their religion, sexual preference, or political affiliation. Yet they can use social media to filter out job applicants based on their beliefs, looks, and habits. Laws forbid lenders from discriminating on the basis of race, gender, and sexuality. Yet they can refuse to give a loan to people whose Facebook friends have bad payment histories, if their work histories on LinkedIn don't match their bios on Facebook, or if a computer algorithm judges them to be socially undesirable.

Currently you have the option to choose between three different methods of sending your contacts to your Accounting system. Below will explain how each of these work, and how to configure the options:
- How can I configure this?
- Sending invoices with the Original Customer
- Sending invoices with the Original Customers Organisation
- Sending invoices with a single Online Sales customer
How can I configure this?
You'll find the option to change how we send your contacts on the first page of your configuration - please access this by selecting Configure from your Apps Dashboard or Integration's pages. As seen in the screenshot below, you can choose which option you'd like using the drop down menu provided.
Sending invoices with the Original Customer
Choosing this option will send invoices to your accounting system along with the contact details of the customer who created the invoice. This is great for users who would like to track all of their customers ordering details in their accounting system.
Sending invoices with the Original Customers Organisation
This will send your invoices with the original customers company/organisation details instead of the contact itself. This is useful for users who would rather track their customers on an organisation level, rather then a contact by contact level.
Currently this setting is only available for QuickBooks Online, MYOB AccountRight Live and Xero users. We're working on adding support for Saasu, and will update this article as soon as it's available!
Sending invoices with a single Online Sales customer
When using this option, we'll send all your invoices to your accounting system with the same customer named in the following format:
First Name: eCommerce system name (e.g. Bigcommerce)
Last Name: eCommerce store name (e.g. My Online Store)
If you'd like to name this generic customer differently, you can manually edit the contact within your accounting system.
This is useful for customers who wouldn't like their accounting system cluttered with individual contact details.

With the NHL Lockout appearing to come to an end, the San Jose Sharks would open their season on Jan. 15 against the Calgary Flames.
The NHL and NHLPA have reached a tentative agreement to end the lockout, and a deal could be finalized as soon as Tuesday. This comes after more than half the season was cancelled. The Sharks are back again. There have been many meetings and fall-outs, but now there is a glimpse of hope. The NHL and NHLPA have until as early as Tuesday to accept the deal and we could be seeing hockey as early as Jan. 15. This is unbelievable news as both sides were far apart for a majority of the meetings. It was just up until about ten days ago the NHL and NHLPA met again and talks seemed to finally gain ground.
The NHL avoids being locked out twice in the last ten years for a full season. The league has been the laughing stock of professional sports for the last few months, and now it is time for change.
The NHL is back, hopefully not leaving anytime soon.

What is it? After the events of Sept. 11, 2001, United States Northern Command was established to integrate military homeland defense efforts and to respond to natural and manmade disasters by providing defense support of civil authorities. Today, the command marks its fifth year as the defender of our homeland.
In 2004, United States Army North was conceived to execute many Northern Command missions. Since then, Army North has been developing plans, participating in exercises and conducting partnership activities with the armies of Canada and Mexico as part of its homeland defense, civil support and theater security cooperation missions.
What has U.S. Northern Command and U.S. Army North done? Northern Command, along with Army North, has conducted an array of homeland defense and civil support missions, including responding to the Shuttle Columbia disaster, supporting Hurricanes Katrina and Rita response, monitoring the 2006 North Korean missile launches, and supporting recovery operations for the recent I-35 bridge collapse in Minneapolis.
Army North trains in numerous Northern Command and other exercises to remain Strong in Support of civil authorities, become Stronger for Peace and homeland defense, and maintain Strength through Partnership with the armies of Canada and Mexico. Ten Defense Coordinating Elements, each led by a Defense Coordinating Officer, work daily with the regional Federal Emergency Management Agency offices to plan and prepare civil support operations.
Army North also trains National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams, which are state first responders to assess chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive incidents.
What efforts will U.S. Northern Command and the U.S. Army North do in the future? Northern Command will continue to constantly challenge "the way it is." It will continue to refine and transform what it does so that it can make the appropriate decisions during any crisis or contingency. It will continue to seek and aggressively advocate solutions for the nation. Army North has developed a long-term command strategy to achieve its vision as the "go-to" headquarters to lead, coordinate and support DOD land domain operations in the Northern Command area of responsibility.
Why are U.S. Northern Command and U.S. Army North important to the nation? Northern Command is responsible for integrating military homeland defense efforts for the nation and for responding to natural and manmade disasters in support of civil authorities to save lives, prevents loss and to relieve suffering. As the Army service component command of Northern Command, Army North is an experienced land domain headquarters for homeland defense and civil support to protect the American people and our way of life.

In reality Flournoy-Smith has sold his textbooks to an Athens-area book buying company.
"He went through this whole story of his books being stolen," (UGA police chief Jimmy)Williamson said. "We started looking into it and it was determined that the books were not stolen. He had taken his own books down to a local book buying company and sold them back to them."Flournoy-Smith faces "a misdemeanor charge of filing a false report of a crime." He was released early Saturday morning on $1,000 bond. Don't expect Mark Richt to be a happy camper on Monday.
Williamson said that Flournoy-Smith, who just completed his freshman season, appeared to have filed the false police report because there was a process with the Athletic Association in which Flournoy-Smith had to explain the lost textbooks.
"Once it was determined the books had never been stolen, that he had actually sold them for money for himself, that's when we took out a warrant for filing a false police report," Williamson said."

The healthcare industry has been around for millennia. Although much has changed in the way it currently functions, it needs to transform into something better to serve the sick. To put it in simpler terms, the healthcare industry needs a new nervous system to function efficiently. This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture.
In healthcare, artificial intelligence has seen a consistent rise in adoption. AI helps solve a variety of problems for hospitals, patients, and the industry as well.
Here are five ways how AI is revolutionizing the healthcare industry.
1. AI Chatbots – Chatbots, also known as intelligent personal assistants, are expected to take over healthcare messaging apps. These chatbots will ease the burden on medical professionals for simple health concerns and will quickly solve minor sicknesses.
2. Apps – Medical apps help in interpreting and understanding lab test results.
3. Emotional Intelligence Indicators – AI-based virtual assistants can pick up cues in speech, and gestures to assess an individual's feelings and mood.
4. Building Prosthetic Limbs – Using AI building prosthetic limbs can be simplified. A few crucial mechanical parts can be replaced with AI to ease movement.
5. Improving Clinical Documentation – Doctors and hospitals are using AI to document and bring-up old data.
In this blog, we will discuss how these five elements of AI are radicalizing the way the healthcare industry functions.
[Also: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Healthcare]
AI Chatbots: Healthcare providers usually shell out lots of money to employ customer service representatives (CSRs). Their (CSRs) main role is to take patient enquires. This could be when patients walk into a hospital or clinic, or through telephonic conversations, or through email. This process is often cumbersome and leads to solecisms. Technology can help solve this problem with automated chatbots that are artificially intelligent.
Chatbots function using something called as natural language processing. Using this chatbot try to figure out what the individual is asking it. Once this is done, chatbots follow a certain flow for a particular sickness, all this is done based on the symptoms that are provided by the individual. The data for a sickness and their related symptoms will be recalled from a central database that is constantly updated. Chatbots will also anticipate the next answer and can guide the individual to either a doctor, in severe cases, or advise medication. In addition to this, chatbots can also serve as knowledge management structures (KMS). KMS allows for documenting common Q&As that are accumulated over the chatbots lifetime. This feature helps in standardizing the service experience to patients. Chatbots will evolve over time, thanks to their machine learning techniques.
Apps: There are a myriad of mHealth apps available both for apple and android devices. However, most of these apps are targeted towards providing medical help, while only a few are targeted towards explaining lab test results.
Most patients have to undergo many tests during their time in the hospital. During their time there, nurses and doctors can easily explain the results. Some patients will have to constantly take the medical test after they are discharged from the hospital to make sure their sickness is in check, and/or to make sure it does not resurface. Finding a doctor to explain the test results can be a task. To address this problem, many leading hospitals have developed apps that are gateways for information.
Using these apps, patients can connect directly with their doctors and understand if they need to change their diet, exercise more often, change their medication, and/or see a doctor immediately. Such apps also simplify scheduling tests as well. There is a possibility to directly notify the concerned doctor if the tests of a patient are alarming.
[Also: How Is Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizing Healthcare]
Emotional Intelligence Indicators: The next big thing in artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry is emotional intelligence (EI). While conversational intelligence has penetrated our lives through virtual assistance like Siri, Cortana, and Alexa, similar technologies can help hospitals greatly. In the healthcare sphere itself, emotional intelligence structures are evolving rapidly. They are able to pick up cues from gestures, and speech to make appropriate suggestions. Emotional intelligence is expected to provide a certain amount of ease in addressing patient emotional queries. For doctors, trying to understand a problem usually means that they have to look at their own experience or consult with their peers for a solution. With EI, doctors will have access to a plethora of information. With this they can use their knowledge to better serve their patients.
While a few people feel that trusting a machine to make important decisions regarding their health and money, in the 21st century this mindset will only cause more complications than solutions. Millennials, on the other hand, are embracing technology with open arms and they tend to trust machines over humans. They (millennials) know that machines are smart and usually portray the truth as it is – hence the trust. Furthering the point of trust, doctors are also learning to trust machines as they are able to crack medical cases that are often considered tough to doctors.
Building Prosthetic Limbs: Prosthetic limbs have not changed much over the last five decades. Prosthetic limbs of the future are expected to look and feel differently than what we currently see. For example, bionic hands are expected to be fitted with miniature cameras that will help in recognizing the objects and assist in calculating the amount of grip needed to hold it. Responsiveness which was a hurdle that doctors or engineers could not address, can now easily be addressed using artificial intelligence. Individuals using the bionic arm just have to glance over the object they wish to pick up and the rest is done by artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence will make way for nimble prosthetic limbs over bulky ones. Although the technology is too complex to be implemented at the moment, it is expected to quickly iterate and ease the life of amputees across the world.
Improving clinical documentation: Since time immemorial, the healthcare industry has been documenting patient data. With the advancements in technology, five decades ago parts of this data were digitized. A few decades later, most of the data was digitized. With this digitization, doctors, clinicians, and medical representatives were able to access this data from anywhere in the world and at any time. However, this was the threshold of what could be done with the technology that was available then.
Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence, clinical records can be digitized and used to assist doctors. How is this possible? As AI is based on the natural learning process and deep learning, it can provide insights into a patient's health. AI can even alert clinicians or doctors if data regarding a patient is incomplete or inaccurate.
With this level of efficiency in the documentation, healthcare providers can easily assist patients while the insurance reimbursement process. As all the data is automatically brought up using artificial intelligence, the scope of something to go wrong is minimized. AI in clinical documentation helps in greater clinical efficiency at minimal prices. Obviously, the initial costs would be high, but once implemented, AI will take over traditional processes and in turn reduce costs for healthcare providers.
As we at TechJini. Inc. look at it, Artificial Intelligence in healthcare is necessary to take the industry to the next level. Other industries such as hospitality, education, gaming, etc. have already implemented artificial intelligence and are witnessing great success. Similarly, the healthcare industry needs to implement artificial intelligence at the earliest to experience analogous results.
The above mentioned five healthcare elements are ripe for the implementation. Although it would take a few years for the results to yield, we feel that it the change that the industry needs. TechJini excels in creating mHealth apps, web applications, and artificial intelligence based structures that can help healthcare providers gain a competitive edge. Our healthcare portfolio ranges from creating native Android and iOS apps that help in locating medical centers, answering patient queries, managing patient medication, assessing lab test reports, and fitness tracking.
