IOT in Melbourne
Melbourne is becoming an increasingly attractive location for investors and entrepreneurs in the Internet of Things (IOT) space.
In particular, the industrial internet of things market (IIOT) in Melbourne is forecast to grow between 20-40% per annum and is expected to reach US$1bn by 2020.
Melbourne is an attractive future IIOT market because of Victoria's strengths in the energy, mining and metals, infrastructure and logistics, agriculture and industrials and manufacturing sectors.
- Mining: two of the world's largest mining companies: BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto
- Industrials and Manufacturing: Bosch, Boeing, Holden and Indice
- Telecoms: Melbourne is head office for Telstra, and Optus, the country's largest two telcos
- Software: Oracle, Siemens, Computershare
Melbourne has a significant base of companies in the right industries to generate demand for IIOT. The market capitalisation of companies in these sectors is the largest of any city in Australia.
From a talent perspective Melbourne's universities are producing more technology and engineering graduates than any other city in Australia: approximately twice that of Sydney and almost four times that of Singapore.
- The University of Melbourne is ranked 33 in the Times Higher Education rankings
- Monash University has the largest student population of any Australian university
- Deakin University enjoys as strong reputation amongst international students.
There are currently around 40 firms supplying or developing IITO offerings in Melbourne with approximately 65% providing solutions, 20% providing software and hardware and 15% providing consulting.
Melbourne has a thriving startup community that is supported by significant state government funding through LaunchVic along with approximately 170 coworking and collaboration spaces.

1st Prize Winner (Group I: 9 years & under) - The Thinking Led by a Mosquito
The Thinking Led by a Mosquito
2017, August 31st, Thursday, sunny
"Mooooooommm", I whined:"Those stupid mosquitoes have bitten me again! This time it's worse! I have almost thirty mosquito bites. My legs now look like the kind of disgusting radish rolls with strawberry jam on it that my grandma Anne makes."
"Aww, you poor thing, I will go get you some medicine and please stop scratching it. You are going to make it worse!"my mom replied.
When my mom came back with the small bottle of sticky green medicine and a pack of cotton balls to scrub on my legs, she asked me a very simple question which led to some of my serious thinking later.
As she was scrubbing the medicine on my leg she raised THE QUESTION,"Sula, if you had the power to extinct something, what would you extinct?"
My first reaction is what kind of question is that?
"Of course it's the mosquitoes!"I replied immediately without any thinking.
"Mosquitoes are probably the most disgusting and filthy creature on earth! Even worse! They do no contribution to the earth, all they do is biting people annoyingly!"
"Are you sure? Looks like you do hate them."said Judy(my mom) in a surprised voice.
Later that night, when my mom tucked me to bed, I could not get a very nice sleep, because the question "are you sure?" kept bugging me in my head.
2017, September, 1st, Friday, cloudy
Today the poor me got bitten by those annoying mosquitoes again! (My legs look like a radish roll with even more strawberry jam!) When I was scratching my itchy mosquito bites impatiently I complained to my classmate Jaqueline. "How could this ewwy-pewy creature exist on earth?"
"But, Sula, they can serve as food to the dragonflies."
Her words let my thinking go even further. I realized if I extinct the mosquitoes then the dragonflies would die of hunger and if the dragonfly were extinct then the frogs would not have enough food to eat and they would also die, and so and so on. Very soon the food web started to appear into my mind.
At night time, while my mom was making my favorite blueberry pie, we talked about the extinction of mosquitoes again.
"Mom, if you gave me another chance to choose what I would extinct, it would be different this time."
"Why? What makes you change your mind? I thought you hate mosquitoes." She stopped what she was doing and looked at me curiously.
"Because I realized that if I extinct the mosquitoes we might have the food web problem. If one kind of animal were to extinct, it would eventually affect our human life."
"It is a really interesting perspective, plus, I didn't expect you to think so deep about it!"
"Oh! Of course I will think about it, because I am so thoughtful!"I said with a huge smile that starts from my right ear to my left.
2017, September, 2nd, Saturday, sunny
Today when I woke up, I woke up really early because I was thinking about that question all night. I can't wait to share my new thoughts with my mom.
So I quietly crept in my mom and dad's room and found out that they were snoring so loudly together like two drillers drilling through the wall. "What two naughty 'drillers' they are, hope the neighbors don't start pounding on our doors later!" I carefully walked over to my mom's side of the bed and while I walked I made sure that I didn't step on any of the empty coke bottles that my mom drank in the midnight. I sat on my mom's side of the bed and gently pushed her trying to get her to wake up.
"Mom, mom! Wake up! I have some really interesting thoughts that I want to share with you!" She turned and twisted around on the bed with her arms flat on the my dad's mouth and then the legs dangling on the side of the bed. I pushed her even harder.
"Mom, you must wake up now! I have some really important thought that is much more important than sleeping!"
She finally woke up with her hair sticking out like a pile of messy straws. "Okay! Okay! Just go and sit outside while I go put on some clothes and comb my hair." So I walked outside and got two cups and poured some water in it.
10 minutes later probably one of the longest ten minutes in my life she (finally) came out. I rushed over to her and I told her the words that I have longed to tell her. "Mom! You know what, as I told you yesterday we shouldn't extinct the mosquitoes!"
"Okay babe, keep your thoughts in mind while we just go and sit down because my legs are getting really tired of standing, they haven't 'woke up' yet."
Then we sat down and I continued talking. " I think we should find a way to let them stop drinking blood from us human, so we can first give a shot to the female mosquitoes that would stop them from drinking blood from human anymore. Instead they would drink the liquid from the flowers and plants just like the male mosquitoes do."
"Wow! Such a fabulous thought, if you had told me earlier I would rather wake up early to listen to it! I still can't believe that you, at such a young age could think of it, did your teacher tell you this method?"
"Oh, of course not, I taught myself this significant lesson." I said proudly.
At night,I rolled around on my bed not being able to fall asleep, the things happened these three days flashed back into my mind. I realized that I not only taught myself a unique lesson about how to solve the mosquito biting problem but also I taught myself what to do if I ever meet another problem like this. I also realized that if I keep my mind turned on at all times, then I will always be able to use even better ways to fix more complex problems that may actually happen in real life. So this shows that people don't need to be talented to do amazing things, all we need to do is to keep formulating questions and using many extraordinary ways to solve it.
Also, guess what! My thinking has actually been used in a really good way, me and my mom searched on the internet and found out that some scientists in China and in the US has been trying to figure out this problem in a unique way too!

We are reviewing the newest Judas Priest Album Firepower.
From the first track to the last this album screams Judas Priest, so let's get started, the first track Firepower is a powerful metal song beginning with an awesome guitar riff. Rob Halford's vocals have never sounded better. Great double bass drums before the guitar solo rips away into the night. The second track Lighting Strike again is a metal guitar song. The metal gods are alive and well this song shows the strength of the songwriting skills of the entire group. The third track Evil Never Dies another song showing the metal masters at work the guitar and drum work in this tune rocks. The vocal range Rob has after all these years is impressive. The fourth track Never the heroes is one that should be on every rock station left in the country. The fifth track Necromancer is another superbly done metal song with mystic lyrics and guitar leads that ring the bell. The sixth track Children of the sun is a slower paced rock riff that still makes you want to bang your head. Once again the lead guitars shine like a bright light in the darkness.
The seventh track Guardians starts with a beautiful instrumental piano piece and the lead guitars lead from the second verse to the explosion at the end. The eighth track Rising from the ruins rocks out from beginning to end with melodies in the vocals and the lead guitars make this song a rocking tune. The ninth Track Flamethrower starts with a guitar riff and explodes into an initially sounding Judas Priest tune for 2018. The tenth track Spectre is one of the vocal songs that the guitars, bass and drums just accent the vocal strength. Then once again the lead guitars light up the room. The eleventh track Traitors Gate starts with a mellow guitar riff and again explodes into and full sounding metal tune. The melodies and double bass drums add something exciting to this song and let's not forget the lead guitars that stuck again like lightning. The twelfth track No Surrender is a rally cry for all rockers and metalheads. Keeping it real in the metal music genre. The thirteenth track Lone Wolf has a mystic start and grinds into wicked metal guitar and vocal song. If you ever felt like a lone wolf, this is your song, and the final fourteenth track Sea of Red starts with a beautiful acoustic guitar piece and an acoustic lead which is great to hear. Then the voice of Rob lights up this acoustic piece with his great vocal range. About halfway through the acoustic piece become an awesome metal guitar song to end this incredible album. It's very few times in life you can find those albums that you can listen to every song and not have to skip a song, and this is one of those. Let's not forget Glenn Tipton's and his battle with Parkinson's disease. He was diagnosed over a decade ago, Tipton has marched forward , but the announcement has come that as of this year that he is retired from touring with JUDAS PRIEST. While Tipton remains optimistic about an occasional cameo on the road, it lights up the stage when he gets a chance to. Not only a great evening of awesome metal tunes but should make the album of the year in my opinion.

An accident at a church in Manhattan shows again the dangers of working in construction. The 33 year old worker plunged to his death while trying to set up a safety system for the co-workers on the restoration site.
The investigation has not yet revealed exactly what caused the construction accident but reports of electrocution while working on a ladder was pinpointed to be one possibility. It was also speculated that the victim simply lost his footing and fell nearly six stories to his death.
It's interesting to note that there appeared to be a lack of safety gear in place for those in charge of setting up safety structures. Since the man fell so far down into the main aisle of the church, there was obviously not safety ropes or nets protecting his activities on the job site. He died at the scene of the accident. While no one else was injured during the accident, it isn't always the case. Those on the ground have just as many dangers as those working in the sky.
Falling from great heights has proven fatal for many construction workers who must work on ladders, scaffolding, and roofs to fulfill their jobs. Without the safety ropes to prevent long-distance falls, workers rarely walk away let alone survive such falls. Plus, employees who lose their balance or footing without a safety net are putting those on the ground at risk too. Falling equipment or human workers are deadly to those on the ground below.
If you or a loved one has been killed after falling from a ladder or scaffolding on a construction job site, it is crucial that your case be reviewed by our legal team to ensure rights and compensation for workers is not ignored. Contact our office toll free at 855-614-4351 or use our online contact form to schedule your appointment.

Better Cheap Video
This device uses a PIC16F1825
for improved performance. Many of its internal features make it a dandy
device for this application.
1) An SPI port for shifting out video data.
2) A hardware UART for receiving text data.
3) 1 K of continuous memory for mapping video.
4) Advanced 16 bit FSR registers with auto-increment features.
This unit produces 12 lines of 30 characters. Unlike the previous 'Dirt Cheap Video', it can receive continuous 9600 baud data without any glitching of the video output.
Inputs are provided for both TTL and RS-232 level signals at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. Any part of the screen can be written to directly and line wraps work predictably for the entire 12 lines.
To access the device, send the '@' symbol followed by 2 characters. The first character specifies the Row (A-L), and the second character specifies the column (A-Z,[,\,],^. After that characters are placed on the screen in sequence with wrap around on all lines. Note: no carriage returns (CR) or linefeeds (LF) are processed. To get to the next line, you need to send another address sequence (@XY) as described above.
The Circuit
The PIC runs internally at 32 Mhz using an 8 Mhz xtal. Input goes to the hardware UART at RC5 either directly of via an RS-232 inverter circuit (Q1). Video output comes from the SPI port on SDO/RC2 with RC1 directly generating vertical and horizontal sync. Q2 forms a driver for the standard 75 ohm load of video monitors. A power supply of 8 to 14 volts is sufficient to run the unit.
Because of some design limitations, all of the character data must reside in a single page of program memory (256 bytes). This is only enough room for 36 characters (at 7 bytes per character). However, by 'folding' much of the data, several extra characters can be created. The full ASCII set is not supported and many characters will display a blanks.
Although the Source file is provided, trying to modify it without totally screwing up the video signal is quite difficult. The code has been written to generate the video signal in real time, with the time part down to one instruction cycle (one eight millionth of a second). Getting the text data into the device while generating a video signal is like trying to eat a bowl of spaghetti with chopsticks while juggling several bananas!
So you will probably just want to use the object code (hex file) as is. Here also are the Layout and Parts Placement files.

People + Planet Policies
At Spell, we are committed to implementing high ethical and environmental standards within every part of our business which is reflected within our Animal Welfare policy. Animals play an integral part in the fashion industry and the objective of our policy is to ensure that they are not only treated with respect, but that we work to minimise the impact on their natural environment.
- All animals must be treated in accordance with the 5-freedoms set by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE)
- All sourced animal-derived materials must be a by-product of the food industry
- Animal fibres must be sourced ethically and inflict no harm or distress to the animal or its surroundings
- We will not utilise any fibres from species that are recognised to be endangered
- All leather within our range is sourced from leather working group tanneries or recycled where possible
- All down within our range is sourced from ethical producers that adhere to the Responsible Down Standard
- All wool within our range must be sourced from non-mulesed sources
- We say NO to Angora
- We so NO to exotic animal skins
- We so NO to mohair
Where possible, we will choose recycled materials over virgin and fibres that have been certified by a credible third-party. Our R&D team are constantly on the search for new innovations.
At Spell, we understand that our environment is facing some serious challenges and we are committed to living our vision to become one of the most inspiring and conscious fashion brands in the world. In order to bring this to life we have embedded sustainability into each part of our business operations and we expect that partners across our value chain do the same.
We recognise our legal responsibilities set out in our code of conduct however we aim a little higher each day and aim to take our business partners on our journey to walk a little lighter within the fashion industry.
Providing a healthy and safe workplace is an integral part of our focus. We work towards International and National standards to address the following areas:
- Diversity and equal opportunity
- Upholding human rights
- Fair wages
- Working hours
- Health and safety
- Collective bargaining and freedom of association
Ensuring minimal impact on our natural resources is fundamental to our industry. We are working to implement the following:
- Animal rights
- Chemical restrictions
- Waste, recycling and circular practices
- Regeneration programs
Working with Spell as a business partner comes with the expectation that each entity address each of the above and uphold the law within the appropriate jurisdiction. This is a journey of constant improvement and we believe that collectively we can make a huge impact.
At Spell, we are committed to implementing high ethical and environmental standards within
every part of our business and recognise the part that we have to play as a leader within the
global fashion industry.
From design, to cut, make, sew, trim to recycle, every one of our partners works to uphold our strict code of conduct based on the ILO (International Labour Organisation) and ETI (Ethical Trade Initiative). This code outlines basic requirements each partner must meet in order to work with us and failure to comply with this code will see us work together towards meeting the basic standards or cease operations with the company in question.
Our values lead and enhance the way we work day to day, both internally and with external
organisations. These values are:
- Lead
- Inspire
- Family
- Walk A Little Lighter
- That Turquoise Feeling
Across our business operations throughout our Supply Chain - Retail, Materials, and Manufacturing - working with our 21 supplier factories around the world - Spell employs over
2,946 people through our Tier 1 suppliers in three (3) countries - China (53%), India (40%), and Peru (7%), with our Retail Suppliers located in two (2) countries, being the United States of
America and Australia, and our Material Suppliers, located in two (2) countries, Italy and Russia.
Our main spend is in China and India - both considered high-medium risk countries in terms of
potential risks for Modern Slavery. Modern Slavery is defined under the Modern Slavery Act
2018, No. 153 (Cth); Modern Slavery Act 2018, No.30 (NSW).
We recognise that Modern Slavery exists and is systemic therefore it is an important issue to
address across our whole value chain to ensure that those who are vulnerable are not exploited.
We are working to combat Modern Slavery and provide for the detection, exposure, awareness,
collaborative action, and reporting in both our business operations and supply chains. We will
work to provide actions to address and mitigate such risks.
Our commitment to uphold the highest of human rights within all parts of our operations is a
fundamental part of our business and we aim to use our influence to leverage positive business
practice where possible. In the aim of mitigating the risk of Modern Slavery within our supply
chain we will be implementing the below activities:
- Full facility and supply chain analysis
- Development of a risk matrix identifying countries and activities of high risk
- Risk mitigation and mediation strategy
- A suite of strong internal and external policies
In order to effectively remediate risks and drive positive collective action and change, we work with our business partners, industry peers, stakeholders and internal colleagues, taking a
collaborative approach to ensuring human rights are upheld within the fashion industry.
Our Modern Slavery Statement will be published in December 2020.

Hello, I'm teacher Shelagh and I have a song to play for you on the ukulele:
Learn learn learn to speak
English with Shelagh
Happily happily happily happily
Join my class today
Hope you liked it. And I hope you can join my class. Now, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, where I gained ten years experience working in a variety of public schools.
There I worked as a teacher's assistant and visual language interpreter for the deaf. I conducted small group and individual classroom activities based on different learning needs (including students with Autism, ADD, ADHD and Down's Syndrome). I also taught English language skills to Deaf and hard-of-hearing students from kindergarten to grade 12.
I'm aware of the different types of learners and the shorter attention span of younger students, so I endeavour to employ kinesthetic, visual and auditory teaching styles to each of my online lessons.
Over the past 15 years I've dedicated many volunteer hours to educating those in different lands such a Dominican Republic, Spain and (where I currently am living) Honduras! I have a keen interest in different cultures and languages so working online is great because it affords me flexibility to travel. This way I can continue to volunteer my time anywhere in the world, there is a need.
If your looking for a creative and fun approach to your child's learning, please enroll in my class today! I look forward to meeting you in the near future!

Northeast Gets hit by Rare Noreaster Snow Storm
A rare Noreaster snowstorm raced up the Northeast coast on Saturday and caused electric outages to more than two million people, many of which may not have power restored until Wednesday. It also forced cancellations of many airline flights, caused three deaths, and put a big damper on trick or treating for the little ones Monday night.
One death was caused by an accident on a slippery highway, one was caused by a man accidentally stepping on a downed live wire, and the third death was a freak accident when an eighty-four year old man was napping in his recliner and a snow laden tree fell through his house.
At this time four states, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York, have declared weather emergencies. A snow record in New York's Central Park, which has stood since 1925, was broken with almost an inch and a half of snow. The snow is expected to stop falling by late Sunday in New England. Some areas of Massachusetts had up to two feet of snow in some areas. Other areas in the emergency declared states had up to a foot of snow. Some area also had to deal with high winds, which in some areas reached fifty-five miles per hour.
Normally, it is December before New England has its first measurable snow and in October, the high is usually in the mid-fifties. The one good thing that has come out of this freakish snow storm is that two ski resorts in Vermont and one in Maine have opened early this weekend.

Much has been misunderstood about what the Affordable Care Act requires when it comes to religious institutions and contraception.
Recently, the Catholic Church lashed out at the Obama Administration, including HSS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, for handing down regulations that fail to exempt certain operations of the Church, including Catholic Church owned and operated teaching institutions, hospitals and other non-house of worship entities, from the requirement that employers, beginning in August, 2012, provide employees with health insurance that includes contraception benefits without a requirement that the employee incur a co-pay or deductible.
Representatives of the Catholic Church believe that this requirement forces them to support a plan that is, inherently, against their religious beliefs.
Maybe. But the result of the hue and cry has been to cause considerable misunderstanding as to what the requirements of this law are—and what they are not.
So, let's set the record straight so we can at least understand what we may be arguing about.
A recent blog by Celia Muñoz, Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, does an excellent job of laying out the facts –
It should also be noted that most women, including 98 percent of Catholic women, have used contraception.
Now that you know the facts, you can decide for yourself if it is appropriate to require a Catholic university to provide its employees with health insurance that will make contraception available without need for co-pays or deductibles.

BATON ROUGE, La. –
The Florida State University women's golf team – led by individual medalist Caroline Westrup – won the team championship of the LSU / Cleveland Classic with a six-stroke victory over Louisiana State at the University Club. The Seminoles led the event wire to wire in earning their first team championship since winning the Florida State hosted Chrysler Challenge during the spring of 2007. Westrup, a two-time All-American, moved into first place in the second round and earned the fourth individual championship of her Florida State career.
The team championship is the 21st and third in the last two years under Head Coach Debbie Dillman. The Seminoles have won at least one tournament championship in six of the last seven years.
Westrup (Ahus, Sweden) carded a three-under par 69 in the third round and finished with a six-under par 210 total for the three-round event. She was in a tied for fifth in the individual standings after carding a two-over par 73 in the first round. She closed the event with scores of 68 in the second round and 69 in the third to finish the final two rounds at seven-under par. Westrup's three-round score of 210 ranks as the second best of her career as she added to her career victory total.
Westrup defeated Lauren Doughtie of NC State by four strokes to win the championship.
Senior Whitney Wright (Rockingham, N.C.) earned the third best placing of her career as she finished in a tie for 11th in the individual standings. She was the individual leader after carding a season-best two-under par 70 in the first round and finished with a three-round total of 223. Wright's total of 223 is the best 54-hole score of her career.
Senior Whitney Brummett (Eureka, Mo.) finished in a tie for 26th place as she moved up from a tie for 61st in the individual standings after one round. She carded scores of 73 and 75 in the second and third rounds after earning a 79 in the first round. Brummett's finish ranks as the best of her senior season.
The Seminoles begin play at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic at the University Georgia March 21-23 as they play a tournament for the third consecutive week.

BOSTON, Mass. – Senior Brooke Paradis (Pelham, N.H.) netted her 200th career goal while setting the record for goals in a single game to lead the Wentworth women's lacrosse team to a 21-6 victory over Nichols College Saturday afternoon.
Wentworth earns its first win in conference (1-2) and improves to 7-2 overall, while the Bison dip 2-6 this season and 0-3 against league opponents.
Sophomore Emily Rogers (Pembroke, Mass.) also contributed with a career milestone, as her first goal of the game was her 100th career point. Rogeres and senior Jenna Tetreau (Dudley, Mass.) gave the Black & Gold an early 2-0 lead, before Nichols sophomore Kirsten Sullivan (Arlington, Mass.) got one back for the Bison on a free position goal. Paradis assisted on Wentworth's ensuing goal, then scored her first of the game for a 4-1 lead, but Sullivan struck again for Nichols to bridge the gap 4-2 with 16:09 left in the half.
Wentworth's offense exploded as the Leopards scored 10 straight goals before halftime, five of which came from Paradis. Sophomore Lily Kuhns (Gloucester, Mass.) stopped all four Bison attempts after their initial two goals – two of which were free position shots – as Wentworth held a 14-2 lead at the half.
The clock continued to run in the league contest as the Black & Gold outscored the visitors 7-4 over the final 30 minutes. Paradis' milestone marker came with 8:45 left in regulation, scoring on a free position opportunity, and added her final tally with just over five minutes to go. Paradis surpassed the previous single-game goals record of nine goals, which she set last season, also versus the Bison, and is Wentworth's career-leaders in goals, assists, and points.
Wentworth dominated Nichols on the stat sheet, and held a 17-11 advantage in draw controls, nine of which were won by Paradis. The Leopards also outshined the Bison in ground balls 31-20, controlled by a game-high seven from Rogers.
Rogers picked up seven draw controls and scored four goals with an assist, while freshman Sarah Galan (Colchester, Conn.) rounded out multi-goal performances with two tallies. Tetreau and juniors Marissa Nelson (Cranston, R.I.), Kaitlyn Darveau (South China, Maine) and Julie Dam (Milford, Mass.) each found the back of the net once in the winning effort.
For the Bison, Sullivan netted a hat trick as Nichols' lone multi-scorer. Juniors Danielle Kozloski (Pepperell, Mass.) and Miranda Smith (Methuen, Mass.) and sophomore McKenna Gernander (Coleraine, Minn.) accounted for the remaining goals.
Kuhns stopped seven of 13 shots faced and improves to 5-2 in the cage for Wentworth. Junior Emily Eagan (Hingham, Mass.) drops to 0-6 this season and recorded 13 saves.
The Leopards are on the road for their next conference matchup when they travel to Biddeford, Maine on Tuesday, April 2 for a 4:00 p.m. draw at UNE.

text: So it's a busy week and it's just going to get busier. We found a house we liked and might want to buy over the weekend. This means that we're trying desperately to get the house we're living in up to something resembling salability. We made a list of all the junk to do and it took up way too much space. But we're plugging along, making progress and putting stuff together. Now that there's a bit of urgency behind it, things are going much quicker. But then, in the middle of all this, we're going on vacation. It seems like another bermuda triangle of stuff going on right now. Hopefully, we can get things sorted to a decent point where we won't be too overwhelmed by timing when we get back from Montana. Of course, getting everything done that's essential before we go is going to be a challenge all by itself - thank goodness we're no longer averse to hiring stuff out. There just aren't enough hours in the day to get all this crap done and still be sane. Now if I could just magically generate a few hours to run errands, I'd be golden.

text: All banter aside, one topic comes up that needs to be stressed. There is an assumption that those who work in and are familiar with investments are the ones who deserve rewards for their risk-taking. I don't disagree with that, but then there is a fundamental failure by many to understand other kinds of risk and other kinds of risk-takers who "invest" with a different kind of capital. There are artists who often forgo more profitable lines of income for what they believe enhances, informs and enlightens--they are not poor schnooks who couldn't get it together, but people who have a vision and risk their own financial security for what they believe contributes not only to their own enlightenment but to the richness of life for others. There are teachers who are highly-functioning, well-educated people who work with the underprivileged or the challenged or simply with students exposed to the lowest common denominator "business plan" version of education out there today in order to bring them into the world with some sense of purpose, hope, initiative, dreams. None of these artists, teachers, and dreamers expects that their efforts will garner a financial windfall, and indeed, not all of their efforts are monetary or artistic successes, but the reward of contribution to the society is the primary goal, and the occasional success of these social goals is gratifying. Still, many of the rules created by the business class and the PAC-bought politicians not only penalize these kinds of contributors but seeks to nullify the growth of opportunities both for artists and the future leaders of America they teach or help to shape. They lump artists and teachers into some kind of "loser" category, and penalize their visions by keeping affordable healthcare out of reach, driving the cost of dwellings up, and reducing the availability of societal services down. When faced with accusations of inequity, the conservatives immediately point to the handfuls who abuse the system parasitically, without any real examination of whom they seek to penalize. The "have-nots" are easier to disregard when they are faceless and dismissed--less guilt involved. When one is condescendingly lectured by a fiscal conservative about the splendors of financial risk deserving all the rewards or told by the politicians who court them that all "waste" will be eliminated so their constituents can make more and more money, there is something vitally wrong, since our leaders need to represent the interests of all--THAT is what our founders sought, not the greatest control and power in the hands of the few, and those who hide behind this flag-waving falsehood are merely trying to divert attention--this is the land of opportunity for all who participate in all ways, not just for the privileged few.

risotto demystified
January 15, 2011 at 4:49 pm Leave a comment
making risotto is not hard, you just have to speak it's language (it likes baby talk). seriously, it's just a certain kind of rice (arborio) carefully cooked with patience and love. and it's delicious, so it's totally worth it.
not sure if you can proceed without hair-pulling hysterics? take the anal-retentive chef quiz (mostly just for laughs). if you score anywhere from 1 to a million bajillion points, you are so ready. though if you score a million bajillion points I hope this isn't your first risotto rodeo.
the following recipe is Mrs. Martine's, but it's easily adaptable by varying the type of broth, cheese (or not), and stirring in some deliciousness like fresh peas, sauteed wild mushrooms, or grape tomatoes right before serving. digression: Mrs. Martine was a sweet italian woman who took my family under her wing during our 9 month stay in Sicily when I was 5. she's probably the reason we all gained about 15 pounds; according to my mother, she was always sneaking me meringues, which sat in a big glass container in her dining room. I think my beliefs about food–that simple food is made delicious through loving preparation, and that food can be comforting and really enjoyable–came from Mrs. Martine. I was too young to really appreciate our stay in Italy (I remember the persimmon tree outside our villa, my mom's custard, and risotto di gorgonzola), the idea of elevating simple food into fabuously social multi-course meals has stayed with me.
risotto di gorgonzola
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 good-sized onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups arborio rice
- 6-8 cups broth (I use chicken)
- 1/3 to 1/2 pound gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (if you're lucky enough to have a choice, choose the dulce or sweet version unless you love the smell of feet. then try the picante or strongly flavored gorgonzola.)
- possible add-ins: salt, white pepper, lemon juice, parsley for toppin's
- tools: heavy-bottomed pot, second pot for keeping broth warm, spoon, ladle
warm the heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, then melt butter and saute onions. your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get the onions soft and almost translucent without browning them–so you'll need to stir frequently. once the onions seem clear (as clear as an onion ever could be), you're ready to add the arborio rice. also, start warming the broth in a pan (or heating it in the microwave)–you want it just about boiling before you add it.
stir in the rice, evenly coating it with the butter/onion mixture. begin adding hot broth, ladling just enough to barely cover the rice. you are now wedded to your stove for the next 30 minutes or so. (if you must leave the stove for any reason, even if it's to do something brave and true like rescue a kitten know that the rice won't care, and turn the heat down as low as possible until you return.) begin stirring. and herein lies the secret of risotto: don't add too much broth at a time and always add it hot. I keep mine in a pan next to me on the stove, but you could also keep it hot in the microwave. don't walk away from the risotto if at all possible. and for the love of all things holy: keep stirring. congratulations! you now speak the language of risotto.
continue adding broth, a little at a time, and stirring. you'll notice that when you first added broth, you added quite a lot, but as you continue cooking, you'll add less and less each time. you're trying to go to risotto's happy place, adding just enough broth that it doesn't dry out and stick to the pan, but not so much that it drowns.
once the rice is cooked–which is about 30 minutes or until the arborio is still al dente (it holds its shape and maybe has just the teeniest crunch or bite to it) and it stops absorbing much liquid–you're ready to add the gorgonzola. stir in the gorgonzola until it melts completely, increasing the heat if necessary, and taste. this is where you can add more salt, a little white pepper, and/or lemon juice if the flavor's not quite right.
pile it onto a plate and mangia tutti! that means eat it all. which shouldn't be a problem.

Behind the lens
Glam is the result of the meeting of two friends, passionate about photography, who decide to merge their artistic visions to create a unique and exciting product.
The philosophy of our work is based on the simplicity that characterizes every emotion, and as such does not require strange alchemies, but is there, ready to be caught in its most authentic aspect.
What animates the shots of Glam is the passion for photography, for Glam photographing is not only a way to capture a moment forever, but it is a way to transmit sensations and tell a story.
Glam is specialized in weddings and portrait photography. For an elegant and unique photo shoot that can excite every time you think about your wedding day, Glam is undoubtedly the perfect choice for you.
Giuseppe Torretta
I'm a portrait photographer. I love wedding photography and I enjoy immortalizing real feelings and emotions.
I am a dreamer, I always have been. I like to change and change constantly.
I prefer to make my shots with natural light; I believe that nothing is more beautiful than light coming from a window or warm light during the golden hour.
I live in the beautiful Sicily and I love traveling.
I love my family, italian brandy, the volcano Etna and New York City.
I use selected material to obtain and express my photography, I shoot with a Leica mirrorless.
Giuseppe D'Amico
My passion for photography began many years ago, when, only thirteen, my father granted me his Nikkormat so I could take pictures of the stormy sea.
After a long period of inactivity, but with unmitigated interest in the world of photography, I picked up my camera again in 2008, this time going for digital.
I'm a street photography and portrait enthusiast. I enjoy capturing the minor details of the places I visit, the essence of the people I meet, and the flowing of life as it surrounds me. Photography manages to give me serenity, lets me clear my mind of all worries.
I see everything differently through the lenses of my camera, as if I become a detached observer of the most beautiful of spectacles.
Travelling is an inseparable element of my passion. All I need is a reflex and a plane ticket; everything else comes by itself.
As someone used to say: "all else is life".
I belong to a collective photos "La.Strada" that try to get a different street photo's prospective.

Seattle is shaped like an hourglass, with its business district at the narrowest, central part. Visitors notice two things immediately about the city: it is flanked on both sides by water (salty Puget Sound on the west; fresh Lake Washington on the east) and studded with hills yielding a variety of views. A glacial retreat 10-15,000 years ago blessed the region with numerous mountains, lakes, estuaries and basins. Moistened by ample rain, this landscape grew lush and sprouted the forests that attracted 19th-century settlers seeking to capitalize on nature's bounty. This tour will explore the hills, valleys, and shorelines of the city that sprang up around Henry Yesler's modest lumber export mill, and has experienced economic peaks and valleys since 1851.
By 1900, Seattle had big-city aspirations and, with an eye to Boston's Emerald Necklace, city leaders engaged the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm to design a park system that took advantage of this majestic setting. Thirty-seven Olmsted designs were implemented; this excursion will visit four of them and travel along additional boulevards of their design. Parks and roads en route include the Puget Sound shoreline in West Seattle, old-growth forest of Schmitz Park, and verdant Seward Park with its spectacular views of Lake Washington. Turning north, the tour will explore Ravenna Park centered on a creek and conclude at the urban oasis of Green Lake Park. Criss-crossing the city, tour attendees will see not only the steep hills shaped by nature but also the commercially advantageous shipping canals and channels dug by man. Several stops will enable all to leave the coach and immerse themselves in these parks, to smell the salt air, feel the ferns, and savor the views.
Maximum Participants: 26
Fee: $30
Accessibility: Walking, navigating unpaved areas of city parks
Transportation: Coach from the Westin to park destinations around Seattle; return to Westin by coach. Meet your tour wrangler around the North Tower escalators on the Westin's Lobby Level before the 8:30 AM departure.
Attire: Wear comfortable walking shoes to enjoy the parks and beach. Bring a rain jacket.

To header bid, or not to header bid? That has been the question on the minds of premium publishers over the past year as the programmatic tactic header bidding has permeated the media industry. Last year, PubMatic released the white paper, "Decision Manager: Your Inventory. Your Rules.," that addressed the ways in which header bidding can solve key challenges for publishers, primarily created by the outdated "waterfall" process in inventory management. This year, we're taking a look back at header bidding successes and challenges over the past twelve months in a white paper titled, "Lessons Learned in Header Bidding."
The new white paper explores how publishers can experience success with header bidding—to drive advertising sales—and what role technology partners play in the pre- and post- implementation phases. We see header bidding as a key part in the ad decisioning evolution paving the way for new innovations, such as wrapper tags (see more in Lesson 6).
In this paper, we seek to share what we've observed in header bidding over the past year and what trends will drive innovation in media buying over the next several years. Below are the key takeaways we uncovered in the white paper:
- Understand if Header Bidding is Right for You: Before implementing a header bidding solution, there are a number of pre-sale and pre-implementation questions that both strategic and technical teams at a publisher should ask themselves before implementing header bidding. For example, publishers need to understand their inventory mix, take stock of resources, assess direct vs. indirect sales priorities, evaluate their current priority setup in their ad server and identify average CPMs and fill rates from demand partners.
- Heed Expectations and Understand the Potential Pitfalls: Results from header bidding take time to develop and depend on a number of factors, including: 1) a publisher's overall familiarity and experience in header bidding and ad decisioning, 2) whether a publisher has the operational and technical teams to implement and optimize header bidding and 3) whether a publisher attracts significant site traffic and inventory demand to necessitate header bidding.
- Set Both Short- and Long-Term Expectations in Header Bidding: In the short-term, priorities should be around setting up a sustainable, low-touch process, where publisher-side technical staff understands how to manage their ad server line items. With regard to long-term results, header bidding should lead to higher overall CPMs, as the both buyers and sellers "learn" how to better price inventory. The end goal in all this technical setup should be to create a foundation that allows media buyers to access a publisher's entire ad inventory and buy any inventory that meets an advertiser's campaign objectives
- Define Who is in Charge and of What: When implementing a header bidding solution, publishers and technology partners need to define the roles and responsibilities of team members on both sides. Once roles are defined, specific responsibilities must be assigned to all stakeholders throughout the phases of implementation: pre-sale, pre-implementation preparation, header tag implementation, post-implementation testing and measurement.
- Test, Test… and Then Test Again. Successful optimization requires post-integration testing on a daily basis, combined with weekly check-ins with a tech partner's strategic and technical team members. Publishers should follow these three key steps: 1) Ensure there is open communication and agreement data sharing between publisher and technology partner, 2) Reset success metrics to include price, fill rate, bid rate (i.e. the number of bids coming in from the buyers) and win rate and analyze the performance of each and 3) Measure the bid response latency and creative latency separately.
- Prepare for Wrapper Solutions in 2016: Publishers need to understand if they should be integrating a wrapper solution, when they should implement and what they can expect from a fully integrated wrapper solution. Enterprise-level wrapper solutions provide publishers with control panels so that ad ops teams can manage multiple header tags (i.e. add or remove tags easily), demand levers that allow publishers to automate decisioning from both direct and indirect demand sources and integrated analytics and real-time reporting capabilities.

When you wish to receive the highest level of tree service for the most competitive price, you will love what USA Tree Service Pros is offering in Chesterfield, Missouri. Although any arborist with our company is primarily trained in doing their job, you will be amazed at how friendly and respectful they are. Although we love satisfying customers and listening to their kind feedback, we have to give a large amount of credit to the industrialized gear we use. The tree service itself is our area of expertise, but we also provide basic customer service skills like showing up on time. Make sure to contact USA Tree Service Pros when you need tree trimming or tree removal throughout Chesterfield, or if you would simply like to find out more about the services we provide.
While some citizens in Chesterfield, MO may be able to complete their own tree trimming work, this is simply not the case with everyone. As simple as our technicians may make a tree trimming look, there are actually lots of ways to end up butchering a tree. In addition, when the tree matures and grows, you need to use power tools to get the job finished. Taller trees also mean the need for using these power tools on ladders, which can result in injury. As you are probably starting to see, allowing an established team of arborists, such as the ones at USA Tree Service Pros is a far better option when having tree trimming done. Do not risk climbing up your tree with a chainsaw in order to save a few bucks whenever we have a skilled tree removal company in Chesterfield.
Throughout our tree removal procedures in Chesterfield, MO, a number of the tools we use consist of pruners and shears. Ensuring that we can give the tree its nicest appearance comes as a direct result of these types of tools. If you surveyed most people about the equipment required to perform a tree removal, they would probably all respond by saying, "a chainsaw." While we do use chainsaws and other tools to safely bring the tree down, its roots will remain in place beneath the ground. When left below the ground, the roots can certainly prevent another tree from growing inside a several-yard radius. You will find that we also make use of bucket trucks, ladders as well as chippers during our tree service work.
If you wish to ensure that your tree looks as professionally groomed as possible, our tree removal is an excellent resource in Chesterfield. MO. Along with ensuring that the tree looks as professional as possible, we also present the most reasonable rates. If you would like to find out more about our tree service or to get a quote, give USA Tree Service Pros a call at 888-202-2007.
Do I Now Have to Employ a Tree Service Company?
You can do your personal tree service procedure to an extent, but you are putting yourself in danger when utilizing power tools while standing on a ladder. Appointing USA Tree Service Pros to manage your tree service procedures would be a better option.
Indeed, all of the solutions our tree service enterprise in Chesterfield, Missouri provides are priced reasonably. Be sure to call our tree service company at 888-202-2007 to get a hassle-free quote based around your needs.
Simply give us a call and let us know what type of tree service you are interested in and whether or not you have any further questions concerning that kind of service in Chesterfield, MO. From there, we will arrange an appointment time for the tree service that fits your agenda.
When we talk about tree trimming, we are dealing with trimming up branches to make the tree look as symmetrical as possible. Pruning requires working with the limbs to define the overall shape of the tree. We recommend beginning the pruning procedure during the first year of the tree's existence.
Sadly, all trees in Chesterfield will be either destroyed in a storm or die at some point. In the course of our tree removal process, we can also remove the tree stump and pull the roots out of the ground, which are two treatments most people forget about.
An arborist is a tree service professional who has expertise and training in using a wide selection of tools. These individuals know just about everything about every kind of tree.
A bucket truck or ladder will be used in nearly every job USA Tree Service Pros completes. Shears and pruners are utilized during our tree trimming processes. To be sure the tree is brought down safely and effectively during tree removal, we will utilize chainsaws and a handful of other tools. A stump grinder will be implemented when we do stump grinding procedures. You will also see us using chippers to grind up the pieces of the tree.
Without a doubt, our license along with insurance covers our tree trimming, removal and stump grinding work in Chesterfield.

Aisha Buhari & Dolapo Osinbajo Visit Khadija Bashir Who Was Raped At The Age of 6-months-old
Yesterday, The first and Second ladies of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari and Dolapo Osinbajo respectively has visited Khadija Bashir, the 8-months-old baby who was raped when she was 6 months old, at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in Kano.
Khadija Bashir was reportedly raped by an unfortunate man who hid under the felonious cover of being childless and fake revelation he saw where he said he was asked to sleep to an infant if he want to stop fornication, womanizing and of being a drunkard.
The worst thing that really surprised me is that the man and his wife planned and raped the child because they were allegedly told it as the way they would get their own kids. The 8-months-old baby has now had surgeries because of the injuries she sustained during the rape.
The case of the man is presently in the court of law and the rapist has hired a number of lawyers
to speak for him.

Hundreds of anti-Donald Trump protesters gathered in Glasgow
Protesters flooded the streets of Glasgow to demonstrate their opposition to Trump's travel ban which targets Muslims and refugees.
Demonstrations took place across Buchanan Street and George Square on Monday night, with over 1000 people showing solidarity for Muslims and refugees, opposing the newly elected president's policy.
The demonstration at the Donald Dewar statue in the city center was hosted by the group Stand Up to Racism Glasgow, the front group of the Socialist Workers Party.
Trump's executive order targets nationals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. Opposition was expressed from a number of speakers including Zara Mohammed-President of FOSIS, Sandra White-member of the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow, Smina Ahktar- PhD researcher at Bath University, Mohammad Asif of the Scottish Afghan Human Rights Foundation, Suki Sangha-member of Scotland Against Trump and Vice Chair of the STUC Black Workers Committee and the UK. Federation of Student Islamic Societies.
The chants 'No hate no fear, Donald Trump's not welcomed here' and 'Say it loud say it clear, refugees are welcome here' could be heard throughout the protest.
D. Franklin, a student at Buchanan Street's demonstration, said that he has a number of friends who live in America who are not citizens, who are affected by Trump's latest outrageous dubbed the 'travel ban'.
He added: "It is not a travel ban; it's a ban on not going back to your home. A ban of being yourself and being from where you are from, and also from moving to America. It affects everyone, it affects people I have no contact with. We are talking not only about racism, but over absolute outright evil on show, in public and in government policy. And that needs to stop."
Scottish journalist James Doleman said: "Hopefully we can overcome this disgraceful ban."
"Today's protest is not only the result of Trump's blanket-ban policy. This protest represents many repeated examples in US history that include racism, fascism and islamophobia from previous presidencies."
Further demonstrations are planned in Glasgow throughout March.

To be fair the executive order doesn't include the words 'muslim' or 'ban'. It is a temporary travel restriction from countries identified as high risk during the Obama administration.
