We associate mangetout peas with early summer, but you can harvest them from April onwards if you sow them now. They are surprisingly hardy. Sow about four seeds of 'Oregon Sugar Pod' or any other variety in four-inch (10 cm) pots of good compost and place them in your tunnel or glasshouse. Protect them from mice until they germinate, and from slugs thereafter. Don't water them too heavily, and keep them covered with bubble-wrap or fleece at nights to speed up germination. Plant them into a composted trench in the border soil when the plants are about 3" (8 cm) tall. Push in short pea-sticks on either side of the row to support the plants and keep their growing tips off the soil surface, where slugs would eat them. Ventilate well during the day to reduce mildew infections. Cover over the rows at night with fleece or bubble-wrap to protect them on very cold nights. Add in longer pea-sticks if the plants need them. The plants should be ready to flower by April, and generous watering and some feed will help boost yield. Harvest the pods often to keep the plants flowering. You can sow a second, later crop to extend cropping until the outdoor crop comes in. Enjoy!
Mibuna is a traditional Japanese green crop, ideal for greenhouses in winter. Like mizuna, it is a member of the cabbage family and produces green leaves for salads and cooking over a long period. It is grown in much the same way. It is less hardy and productive than mizuna, but its narrow strap-like leaves (often with a white midrib) have a more spicy flavour that gardeners enjoy and some slugs don't (though some like it hot). It can be harvested as whole plants, but excels as a cut-and-come-again crop.
Seed sown now in containers or borders can produce leaves from October to April or May next. Add in plenty of compost, and sow seed thinly in drills 1cm deep. Border rows should be about 30cm apart. Keep the soil moist: dryness encourages bolting, especially in spring-sown crops. Watch out for flea beetles and slugs. Cut off and compost overgrown leaves and any flowering stems that appear; it diverts the plant's energy into growing more fresh leaves. Use leaves while they are still young. Eat them raw in salads or lightly steamed or pickled.

This summer's drought may make vegetables scarce and expensive until next year. Plan now to maximise the cropping potential of your tunnel or glasshouse and to leave no square metre unproductive over the winter. It is too late to sow spring cabbage seed outdoors for planting out in the autumn, but raising plants in your greenhouse now may bring on seedlings faster and have them big enough to plant out on time. If you do, harden them off before planting out and protect them from hungry pigeons. Alternatively, plant them in the greenhouse for an earlier crop. Plant single seed potatoes in large pots now, and they should still have time to mature before midwinter. Beetroot, white turnips and kohl rabi will produce small but tasty roots, and you can eat their young leaves too. Rocket, oriental greens such as Pak Choi, kale, winter lettuce, corn salad, Texel greens and winter purslane can be sown in succession for salads. Calabrese, French beans and Florence fennel can all yield well in greenhouses from August sowings if the early winter is not too cold.
If your greenhouse is full already, bring on seedlings in cell-trays and then small pots until planting room becomes available. You can sow radishes, baby leaf greens and other short-term crops between rows of slower growing crops, as they will be harvested before the space is needed. You can still have your five a day!
Sweet potatoes are related to morning glory and not ordinary potatoes. It's possible and fun to grow your own. Plants are usually raised from 'slips' taken from sprouting tubers. You can sometimes buy them online or in a garden centre; 'Beauregarde' and 'Georgia Jet' (with orange flesh) and 'T65' (white flesh) are suitable varieties. 'O'Henry' produces tubers close to its base and is good for container growing.
Bought tubers can be from varieties less suitable for Irish conditions, but you can still get a small crop from their shoots. Organic tubers unsprayed with sprout inhibitor are best. Stand the tubers half-submerged in lukewarm water with their narrow ends down. Place them in a warm sunny spot to sprout, changing the water daily. Cut off the sprouts when they are about 15cm long. If still rootless, root them in warm water or cutting compost and plant when rooted. Soak bought-in slips overnight in lukewarm water before planting.
Plant them deeply (to encourage tubers to form at the nodes) in light, well-drained, fertile, neutral or acid soil in full sun. Always keep plants and tubers above 10°C/50°F. Give warmed water when needed, and feed weekly with tomato feed. Tie up the sprawling stems or they will root into the ground at the nodes. Green leaves can be eaten in salads or lightly cooked like spinach, but don't take too many or you will reduce the tuber crop. Dig up the tubers after 3-4 months when the foliage turns yellow and dies back. Avoid damaging them as they bruise easily. Dry the roots in the sun for a few hours and then cure them for five days at 30-32°C / 85-90°F and 85-90% humidity. Store them above 10°C/50°F in good ventilation and either eat them soon or blanch and freeze them.
As the whole country is bracing itself for the 'Beast from the East' we would like to advise customers with Polytunnels and Glasshouses that once it is safe to venture outside you should remove snow as it is surprisingly heavy and can collapse structures if allowed to build up excessively.
If you have an electric heater for use in Greenhouses (specially sealed for a wet environment) you could leave it running as the warmth may help to melt snow before it has a chance to build up. If you have a direct fired heater – e.g. a gas heater that works like a gas hob inside a metal cover, only leave it running if you can be positive that there is a fresh air supply to it that will not get blocked (otherwise it will burn up all the oxygen and produce carbon monoxide with potential disastrous consequences).
Any number of ways (such as soft bristled brushes, sheets, mop handles etc.) can be used to dislodge snow but whatever you choose try not to damage your polythene or glass in the process, so use something soft so that it will not scratch (causing reduced light transmission) or tear the cover or break the glass.
It is also possible to prop the roof inside your Greenhouse or Polytunnel, but of course this should be done before snow builds on your structure in case it could collapse while you are in there.
We hope that everyone will be safe and well which is the most important thing, your Greenhouse or Polytunnel can always be replaced – and you may even have insurance to cover it, but of course it is not worth taking any risks to protect it.
You can buy carrots in the shops almost any time, but nothing beats your own early carrots for flavour and juicy crunchiness, harvested just before eating in spring. Carrots sown in a tunnel or glasshouse in February are ready to eat about late May, well before any crop sown outdoors would be ready. In milder areas, seed can be sown in January for even earlier crops.
The traditional varieties such as 'Amsterdam Forcing' or 'Early Nantes' are as good as any for early sowing. Border soil for sowing carrots should be light, stone-free, without recently added manure or compost and above 5°C. Sow the seed thinly in drills about a centimetre deep and 20 cm apart. If the soil is very poor you could sow them in large pots of prepared compost or compost/soil mixture. Cover the drills or pots with fleece on cold nights to keep the soil as warm as possible: the warmer the soil the faster they germinate and grow. Protect the emerging seedlings from slugs, and as soon as they are big enough to handle thin them out to about five centimetres apart. Do not let the soil dry out, as it stalls growth and the carrots can split when watered again. If not eating harvested carrots right away, cut off the leaves to prevent them drying out and shrivelling the roots.
Things can be quiet in tunnels and glasshouses right now; cold weather, perhaps even still turkey torpor (lethargy) to turn your attention elsewhere. But you know that soon you will want to begin sowing new crops. When you do, wouldn't it be nice to just grab seed trays and pots and use them without having to clean them first? It's good to get them all washed together now so you can choose the exact pot you need and use it right away, and as they are all clean none can carry forward pests or diseases to the new crops.
Gather all empty pots, saucers, seed trays, tools and equipment. Bin any cracked or broken ones. Place a big bucket on a stool or in a wheelbarrow to raise it up so that you don't need to stoop. Fill it with water (a kettle of boiling water can take the chill off) and add some (preferably eco-friendly) detergent. Some like to add a bit of disinfectant but if you had no major pest or disease problems last year a good washing should be enough. Scrub them well with an old washing-up brush, rinse them in a bucket or jet of clean water and leave them to air-dry. To save even more time later, sort them by shape and size when stacking them away.
We at Polydome would like to wish all our customers, friends and suppliers a lovely Christmas and offer our best wishes for the coming New Year.
We will be closing on Saturday at 1pm and reopening on Tuesday 2nd of January at 9am.

If radishes were harder to grow, we might plant them more! Maybe because their fast and reliable growth makes them an ideal crop for children to plant, adults tend not to bother with them so much. But if you are sowing green salad crops in autumn and early winter, why not enjoy some crunchy fresh radishes with them?
Sow the seed very thinly in drills about one centimetre deep and fifteen centimetres apart. The soil should be tilled finely with no clods. Keep the soil moist and as warm as you can in winter, watering them when needed with water that has been stored a few days in the greenhouse to avoid chilling the plants. Cover them with bubble-wrap on frosty nights, but remember to take it off again in the mornings.
Warm moist conditions and radishes are attractive to slugs, so take precautions against them: one slug can wipe out a whole row of seedlings in one night.
Some radish varieties are better than others for winter sowing under cover. Check the seed packet before you sow, but try some anyway – radishes are very accommodating and the seed is not expensive.
Christmas is coming and people are getting stressed by questions such as 'what present can we get for (fill in the name yourself)?' If they have a tunnel or glasshouse, how about something to increase their enjoyment of it? They could use a soil warming cable in so many different ways that it is almost certain to expand the range of plants they can grow and/or extend their growing season.
The theory is simple. The cable is buried below the surface of a bed of 'sharp sand'. When warmed by electricity it warms the surrounding sand, in turn heating the soil or peat moss in pots and seedtrays sitting on the sand. Soil temperature affects plant growth more than air temperature. Seeds germinate faster, cuttings root sooner and growth continues when the air temperature drops a bit too low for normal growth. Insulating fleece or bubble-wrap over the plants will protect them from a few more degrees of frost due to the rising heat. Adding a thermostat will save electricity when the sun warms the soil naturally; see soil warming cables on the Polydome website. You can heat a whole bed or just a small propagation area, but if the latter it's more convenient to have it on a raised bench or staging in which case you should place insulation underneath it.
Electricity and water are an unsafe mixture. Make sure you use a qualified electrician to lay on power to a glasshouse or tunnel, and follow the installation instructions carefully.

Beto O'Rourke believes a path to the White House runs through Texas.
"There's a new battleground state– Texas, and it has 38 electoral college votes," O'Rourke told voters in Tuesday's Democratic primary debate. "Those 38 Electoral College votes are now in play, and I can win them," he said. "That is how we defeat Donald Trump in November 2020."
A University of Texas at Tyler poll out Tuesday shows O'Rourke beating President Trump by a 12-point margin in the Lone Star State. It's the fourth Texas poll showing Trump losing to or tied with any number of Democrats running for president.
While policy issues dominated the discussion, Trump remained the focal point of the debate among the 10 candidates on stage. A CNN moderator asked about electability, citing polls showing Democratic primary voters are overwhelmingly choosing electability over ideological purity, the only real constant in polling at the moment.
When asked how Bernie Sanders, a self-described Democratic socialist could beat Trump, he said every poll is already showing he's beating Trump.
Healthcare causes sparks to fly
By and large, healthcare was the evening's top issue early and a source of mild tension throughout. Sanders and Elizabeth Warren distinguished themselves by vocally supporting their single-payer plan Medicare for All, while other candidates, like O'Rourke, who remains in low single digits in national polling, and Pete Buttigieg, put forward plans of their own that they argued were cheaper or more realistic.
"The middle class will not pay more in taxes to ensure that every American is guaranteed world-class health care," O'Rourke said, detailing his healthcare plan, Medicare for America.
"Right now we have a dysfunctional health care system," Sanders said. "Eighty-seven million uninsured or underinsured, 500,000 Americans every year going bankrupt because of medical bills, 30,000 people dying while the health care industry makes tens of billions of dollars in profit."
As some candidates turned up the criticism against the single-payer healthcare, Elizabeth Warren set the record straight about who was fighting for the healthcare of Americans.
"We are the Democrats," Warren said. "We are not about trying to take away health care from anyone. That's what the Republicans are trying to do. We should stop using Republican talking points in order to talk with each other about how to best provide that healthcare."
After back-to-back scandals involving racist tweets from Trump, most notably telling four congresswomen of color to go back to their own countries, moderators asked candidates to address the president's racism.
Warren called America's persistent stain– racism– the new "domestic terrorism." In addition to calling out racism for what it is, O'Rourke said he would sign Houston Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's reparations bill.
Climate Change
Like advocating for health care and speaking out against white nationalism, the belief in climate change was another issue that distinguished all Democrats on the stage from much of the Republican Party.
"Climate crisis is the existential crisis for our world. It puts every living thing on this planet at risk," Warren said. Her plan would allocate trillions on R&D to create new clean-energy technologies open to anyone who would build it in America.
Ten other candidates, including Joe Biden, Julián Castro, and Kamala Harris will face off Wednesday. The next round of debates is in Houston in September.

A Cornell student was restrained by the police at approximately 2:30 p.m. Monday, after behaving erratically on West Campus following an allergic reaction to prescription medication, according to Imtisal Qadir '18, president of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity.
Police responded to reports of the man — who is a member of the fraternity — running on West Avenue without clothing, according to Police Chief Kathy Zoner.
Qadir said the student called 911 himself once he was aware that he was responding badly to the medication.
"[He] called 911 while in a state of panic but then, afraid that he wasn't going to receive help in time, ran out to ask passersby for help," Qadir said.
Lylla Younes '17, who witnessed the incident, said she called police after hearing "intense yelling" Monday afternoon.
"I looked down and there was a guy taking his clothes off and running around the intersection of [West Avenue and University Avenue]," Younes said. "He was hitting the windows of the cars that passed by."
Sanjay Banda '18, who also saw the event, added that the student "kept screaming out that he needs an ambulance and he's dying."
Cornell and Ithaca Police arrived within a few minutes to detain him, and the man "was not coherent when we were interacting with him," Zoner said.
The student was transported to a local hospital Monday night and is still undergoing treatment, according to Qadir.

In the present times, photo booths are known to be a part of every social gathering. Be it a birthday, wedding anniversaries, weddings or similar events, these are the star of the celebration. While photographers are no longer required to click photographs of the guests, photo booths have made it easier.
People stand in front of it, get to see their facial expression, bring about perfection and then get clicked. They even have the option of printing them and taking it home as a favour. While all of these are activities that guests enjoy, there are several other reasons why it should be part of your next gathering.
It Helps in Making New Friends
When you have a photo booth installed at an event along with asset of props to help out with, you tend to come across new people. It could be distant relatives or even strangers. You can bond over the props and the fun while making new friends. Not always is it necessary that when you go to the photo booth hire in Melbourne, would you find known people and therefore bonding with strangers can make you friends for a lifetime.
It Gets to Be the Event's Attraction
When you have a photo booth installed, you tend to be the talk of the town for a certain time. Since photo booths are a fun thing where people love their photographs, the photo booth gets to be the centre of attraction. Even if you have an arrangement for games or anything else, you will find people of all ages wanting to get themselves a photograph at the photo booth.
The Experience Gets Etched in the Memory
When it comes to it making memories at the photo booth, there are several things to consider. Firstly, people receive a photograph with expressions that they had control over. Secondly, they get to pose with strangers, too, which give them the opportunities to be friends. These are experiences that stay etched in the memory for a very long time.
Bring in Multiple Props
There are several props that people make use of, and that is when there is a great photograph. You could either make them yourself at home or buy them from the store; there is something for everyone. When you put forward these statements in the form of props, there is nothing like it.
It Helps in Engaging People
When there is a birthday party photo booth hire in Melbourne, you tend to increase the number of guests, especially when the party can always be revived. When you engage in installing a slide for the kids or probably anything else, they would want to come back to the photo booths. People of all ages stay engaged, and that is the reason why photo booths get to be a real deal.
When it comes to hiring the services of a photo booth provider, you just made the right choice. Any random person wanting to help doesn't make sense though.
When looking for photo booths and their benefits, there are several. It is known to pep up the fun though. Here is a brief help that would ensure you stay away from problems.

How to Increase Keratin
Living cells in your skin, called keratinocytes, produce a protective layer that provides flexible strength and keeps water and other external material out of your body. Keratinocytes provide this strength by producing a tough, triple-helix-shaped protein strand called keratin.
Living cells in your skin, called keratinocytes, produce a protective layer that provides flexible strength and keeps water and other external material out of your body. Keratinocytes provide this strength by producing a tough, triple-helix-shaped protein strand called keratin. Keratin is the primary constituent of skin, hair, nails and tooth enamel. The number of disulfide bonds that form between the three strands of the amino acid allow it to be flexible, as it is in skin and hair, or make it strong and hard, as it is in nails, animal hooves and tooth enamel. You can increase your keratin by consuming foods that are used to produce the keratin or by applying keratin-enhancing products topically.
Step 1
Maintain a diet rich in protein. Protein provides amino acids needed by the keratinocytes to produce keratin. For the sake of your cardiovascular health, avoid or minimize fatty red meats. Eat lean meats, fish, yogurt and low-fat dairy to infuse your body with the essential amino acids that boost keratin production and enhance your skin, hair and nails.
Step 2
Consume iron-rich food. Iron helps red blood cells transport oxygen to your hair follicles, as well as to the other tissues that benefit from iron. Animal protein provides iron that is easily absorbed by the body. Iron-rich animal protein includes turkey, duck, chicken, pork, shrimp, eggs, lean beef and lamb. Plant foods that contain iron-rich protein include beans, black-eyed peas, soybeans, tofu and lentils.
Step 3
Eat foods with plenty of vitamin C. Vitamin C enhances the absorption of vegetarian-based iron, so consume vitamin C foods at the same time that you eat vegetable-based protein. Foods rich in vitamin C include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, peppers, guava, papaya, grapefruit, oranges, pineapple, strawberries and lemons.
Step 4
Boost your intake of B vitamins. The B vitamins enhance creation of red blood cells, which in turn carry nutrients and oxygen to your scalp, follicles and growing hair. Foods with vitamin B-6 or B-12 include wild salmon, trout, shellfish, white potatoes with the skin, bananas, lentils, garbanzo beans, fortified whole-grain cereals, lean beef, chicken breasts and pork tenderloin. Foods with folate include oatmeal, fortified whole-grain cereal, spinach, beets, parsnips, broccoli, okra, black-eye peas and soybeans.
Step 5
Consume foods with zinc, such as oysters, crab, pork tenderloin, turkey, veal, chicken, peanut butter, wheat germ and chickpeas. Zinc facilitates hair and tissue growth and repair and helps maintain the oil glands that surround hair follicles.
Step 6
Use keratin formulated shampoos to nourish and supplement the keratin in your hair. Keratin shampoos help repair damaged hair, protect against further breakage and add elasticity and shine. Keratin treatments, available at salons and also for home treatment, use high temperature flat irons to make the keratin bond more effectively with your hair.
Don't expect immediate results. The food you eat now affects the growth of new keratin. It will take 6 to 12 months for your hair to show the results.
Increased keratin will help strengthen hair, but it won't affect thinning hair due to male pattern baldness.
Avoid keratin hair treatments that contain more than 2 percent formaldehyde.

Liverpool need to get their league campaign back on track with a positive result away to an out-of-form Crystal Palace on Sunday (13:30 GMT, live on Sky Sports).
Palace come into the match on the back of a five-match winless streak that has seen them drop to within one point of the relegation zone. They are 17th in the Premier League table, with nine points from two wins, three draws and six defeats and are as short as 5/4 to go down in the bookies' relegation betting.
Neil Warnock's (pictured) side produced a spirited defensive performance in their 1-0 defeat away to Manchester United prior to the international break. They were comfortably outshot but largely limited their hosts to efforts from outside the penalty area. Frazier Campbell missed an excellent chance on the counter-attack before Juan Mata scored the game's only goal.
Best Match Betting Odds
19/20 Liverpool (William Hill)
27/10 Draw (Bet365)
7/2 Crystal Palace (Coral, William Hill, Betfair Sportsbook, Boylesports)
Last season ended on a positive note for Palace, with an excellent run of results in the second half of the campaign seeing Tony Pulis lead them away from the relegation places to a comfortable 11th place finish. Preparations for the new season were, however, thrown into late disarray when Pulis left by mutual consent just two days before their opening fixture.
Warnock returned for his second spell at the helm but has so far been unable to recreate Pulis' magic. Back-to-back wins over Everton and Leicester City provided hope, but four defeats and one draw in their last five fixtures have seen Palace swiftly descend the table. They are creating very few good-quality chances and have kept just two clean sheets to date.
James McArthur (calf) is Palace's only injury doubt for Sunday's match, but he is confident that he will be fit enough to take part.
Liverpool have endured a difficult start to the campaign after pushing Manchester City so close in last season's title race. They are in the bottom half of the table, in 11th, with 14 points from four wins, two draws and five defeats.
The Reds surrendered an early lead to fall to a 2-1 home defeat to Chelsea prior to the international break. Emre Can put them ahead inside the opening 10 minutes but Chelsea equalised shortly thereafter and created the better chances of the match. Liverpool were again relatively blunt up front and were defeated by Diego Costa's 67th-minute winner.
It was a second consecutive league defeat for Brendan Rodgers' side, and their fifth of a campaign in which they are yet to really get going. With Luis Suarez departed and Daniel Sturridge having made just three appearances due to a variety of injuries, they currently look miles away from the swashbuckling side who were so impressive last season.
The rapid, free-flowing and incisive attacking football of that campaign has yet to be seen. Liverpool are struggling to get in behind opposition defences and have seen their per match goal rate drop from 2.66 last season to 1.27 this time around. With no equivalent improvement in their defending, they have unsurprisingly endured a difficult start.
Rodgers will definitely be without the injured Sturridge (thigh), Suso (groin) and Jon Flanagan (knee) for the trip to London, while Jordan Henderson (hamstring), Jose Enrique (knee) and Mamadou Sakho (thigh) are all doubtful.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Betting Tips
Palace came back from three goals down to secure a dramatic 3-3 draw in last season's equivalent fixture, while Liverpool were 3-1 victors in the match at Anfield. Palace are undefeated (two wins, one draw) in their three home encounters with the Reds since the turn of the millennium, but Liverpool did win the two previous meetings, in 1997 and 1994.
Palace are in the midst of a poor run of form and will be desperate to secure a positive result on Sunday in order to halt their swift descent towards the bottom three. They have problems at both ends of the pitch and Warnock has so far provided little evidence that he is capable of finding adequate solutions to problems that Pulis was able to disguise last season.
Liverpool, too, are struggling to match the level of performance they produced in the previous campaign. It is clear that they are missing both Suarez and the injured Sturridge, while none of their new signings have made a significant impact. Their goal output has been insufficient to mask the deficiencies of a defence that continues to concede far too often.
Neither side is firing on all cylinders at this moment in time. In the circumstances, a tightly contested draw seems the most likely outcome.
- Back the draw @ best odds of 27/10 with Bet365.
- 70.59% of the goals in Palace's matches so far this season have been scored in the second half, as have 68.97% of the goals in matches involving Liverpool. With this in mind, back the second half to be the highest scoring half @ best odds of 5/4 with BetVictor.

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting stay-at-home mandates across the country make a traditional office visit to your doctor either out of the question or, at the least, not something you want to do if you can avoid it. As a person of faith, you are likely concerned with doing everything you can to keep yourself and your neighbors safe at this time and flatten the curve, slowing the spread of the virus.
That said, sometimes you do need the advice and support of a qualified medical professional. A virtual telehealth visit may help you get the medical assistance you need, and you'll be glad to know that a healthcare sharing program can help you cover the cost of telehealth services.
Telehealth: An Affordable and Accessible Option
While healthcare providers may not be encouraging in-person visits for non-emergency medical issues at this time, many of them are offering virtual appointments via telehealth platforms. Whether that means contacting a doctor over the phone or conducting an online video conference, you can get the medical advice you need while complying with social distancing requirements.
Telehealth is a smart choice for families using health care sharing programs during the COVID-19 crisis. Here's why.
How Health Sharing Program Members Benefit from Telehealth
Since health sharing program members all contribute financially to sharing plans, keeping medical costs down can help stretch every dollar. Telemedicine can provide a more affordable option to in-office visits for patients, health care providers, and health sharing organizations.
According to research, the average cost of a virtual doctor consultation can be as much as four times lower than the cost of an in-person visit. Those are savings that can be passed on to members of a health sharing plan. By keeping health care costs down, members are fulfilling their obligations to care for each other without an unnecessarily inflated financial burden.
Telehealth services, then, can be a win-win situation for a member of a health sharing program. First, telehealth services alleviate any fear you might have of contracting COVID-19 by close proximity to other people in a traditional medical setting. Second, access to the funds needed to deal with medical expenses incurred in telehealth visits can lighten the financial weight of paying for these services.
Further, members who use telehealth services wisely satisfy their Christian obligation to help their neighbors since such services are more cost-effective for the membership as a whole.
Acts 4:32-35: All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had … and God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them.
Under the UHSM Health Care Sharing Program, members can take advantage of unlimited telemedicine services with board-certified health care providers the moment they become members at no extra cost. Members get affordable, simple, fair, and friendly services when they become a part of UHMS's comprehensive Christian health sharing program.

Woman have to go through so many changes and have to make so many adjustments when they are pregnant. Being in pain is not something they should have to deal with.
Simple chiropractic adjustments can help these woman relax and be a little more comfortable. For a free consultation give us a call (360) 260-6903.
It's Dr. Troy at Zenaptic Chiropractic Health Center, here in Vancouver, Washington!
Today I want to talk about pediatric or prenatal chiropractic care or pregnancy chiropractic care.
You know, a lot of people say "Can I come to the chiropractor if I am pregnant if I am prenatal? I am taking my prenatal vitamins, I am working out, I am doing all of this stuff right, I am eating the right amount of protein so that my baby develops properly."
As many women know, they tend to gain a little bit of baby weight because the baby is growing inside them. So, that extra weight, that extra stress throws off the biomechanics of their hips, their knees, their ankle, their spine. So, if the spinal bones, if they get out of alignment, it can cause interference to the nerves that come off in between the bones. The hole that that nerve sits in should be nice and big. That extra weight and pressure from the growing baby can literally shift the spine out of alignment, put abnormal stress and pressure on the discs, the muscles, the tendons, and more importantly, the nerves, because that what controls and regulates all the functions.
There are many techniques that you can use for prenatal, pregnancy type patients that can relieve their back pain, their tension in their neck, their headaches. Chiropractic has been very successful over the years in helping women have a great, successful pregnancy. Getting them through the prenatal stages and even on through when they deliver and after when they deliver.
Chiropractic care may be right for you through your prenatal stages. Just call our office at (360) 347-2299, we would be happy to take a look to see if we can help you. The consultation is always free.
We have a really, really cool pillow that women can lay face down on and many women in their third trimester are very appreciative that they can lay face down comfortably because a lot of times they can't. It gives them a lot of relief to just lay down. And then the adjustments are gentle, they feel good, they don't disturb the baby. And so we've seen a lot of success over the years.
Call our office, we'd be happy to schedule you a free consultation!

Any mother likely understands the pressure that going through a pregnancy puts on the back and spine. The extra added weight can put a lot of physical pressure on their muscles and joints and affect both their standing and sitting posture. But if you think that the back, neck, and shoulder pain associated with pregnancy is something that simply has to be endured, the good news is that a chiropractor can help.
Causes of Prenatal Pain
The majority of women experience back pain starting in the second half of their pregnancy. This can be due to a number of reasons, and is not necessarily a sign of a significant problem. The most common pain point is at the sacroiliac joint, which is where the pelvis meets your spine. Physically, this type of pain is likely caused by pressure that your growing baby is placing on your body, leading to posture change and muscle separation.
It's not just the added weight alone that is the problem. As the baby and the uterus increase in size, this growth places pressure on the surrounding nerves and blood pressure. This can lead to pain, numbness, and discomfort, and might, in the most severe cases, cause permanent damage. If you suspect the pain you are experiencing is more severe than normal, you should definitely consult with a medical professional.
Prenatal Pain Analysis And Treatment
There are a number of treatment options available for women experiencing excessive back pain due to pregnancy. Many patients will find their symptoms relieved through a combination of massage, stretching, and exercise. A chiropractic examination will look to do more than just reduce the pain, but will look to find the cause and make specific recommendations based on what is found.
Another factor in prenatal pain is the flood of hormones and added stress that women go through during this time. Both might lead to additional physical stress on the body that can result in stiffness, soreness, and bad posture. The nervous system is a complicated machine and pregnancy can affect it in many different ways. A chiropractor will treat your symptoms differently depending on whether it is a physical, hormonal, or emotional cause.
Prenatal Issues and Chiropractic Care
When treating a pregnant woman with a chiropractic adjustment, the same basic approach will be used, while being careful not to put any undue pressure on the abdomen. The potential benefits include reducing back, neck, shoulder, or joint pain, lowering the patient's nausea, lowering the likelihood of a cesarean delivery, and even reducing the length of delivery. The overall goal with chiropractic prenatal care is to allow the mother's body to function naturally and support a healthy birth.
If you are experiencing issues with your back, neck, or spine during your pregnancy, Zenapatic Chiropractic can help. Our friendly and experienced staff makes the health of our patients our number one priority, and we will work with you to find the cause of your pain and work out an effective treatment plan. Don't endure unnecessary pain for another moment. Call us today to schedule a free consultation.

This is the first in a series of posts I'll be writing over the next couple of months, documenting the process in a three-way collaboration between two composers (Mic Spencer and Scott McLaughlin) and one performer (me!). Working simultaneously with two composers provides a unique opportunity to reassess my own views of collaborative practices, and hopefully provides an opportunity to make some general and useful comments about how collaboration works. This project is generously funded by an Ignite grant from the CCI (Creative and Cultural Industries Exchange) at the University of Leeds and more about the project in general can be found here, where Scott and Mic are hosting their own blog.
We've also got a 10 minute video of the workshop, beautifully shot and edited by Angela Guyton, in which there's a lot of (hopefully) useful discussion of the specifics of working with multiphonics — composers and clarinetists alike may find this video helpful.
In our workshop, Mic joked, in front of the students, that it might be helpful for them to see their teachers make mistakes. Scott chimed in, "if you're not making mistakes, you're not learning."
It isn't making mistakes that is the important thing, of course. It's the risk taking that may or may not lead to these mistakes. Finding situations for yourself where you have to take risks, this is the space where learning takes place, and one of the challenges of our current project.
As a performer of new music, and a reasonably adventurous one, it is not difficult to find these opportunities. Working with new composers, in different styles, in different contexts (ensembles, solos, theatre, etc.); these challenges seem to present themselves naturally.
For composers, I suspect it's more difficult. As Scott and Mic spoke of in the workshop, it's very easy to fall into normative patterns of composition. You have your process, methods by which you generate rhythmic and pitch material, orchestrate for different instruments, experiment with extended techniques, etc. As a student, your teachers are there to help you challenge your ways of working, to help you find a style. It used to drive me crazy that the composers I work with as students seemed to need to reinvent themselves for each new piece. This is of course, required for the development of the composer. Deciding on a method, following it through in writing a piece, testing it with live performers, analysing the performance and its perceived success or failure, and making a reassessment for the future.
But how can you challenge your process later in your career, once you've created habits and good practice?
This project, the attempted symbiosis of two different composerly minds through collaboration, is the challenge. The question then, is, will this project fracture the normative practices of these two composers? And will those fractures find their way into Scott and Mic's work after this piece has been finished, when they return to composing as individuals?
I suspect the answers are yes, and yes.
Even in our first workshop together, they were able to point out specific ways in which one had influenced the other. As a first experiment, the idea seemed relatively simple. Mic provided the rhythmic structure, and Scott the pitch material (made up almost exclusively of multiphonics). So in this case, Mic's complicated rhythmic structures were foiled by the transitioning multiphonics that Scott lay over them, for example.
But I think the change goes deeper than this. In order to cope with a kind of material Scott has not encountered in his own work (namely, rhythms), he was, as he said, "forced into a corner from which I was expected to fight my way out." By which he meant he was presented with material wholly foreign to him, from which he needed to find creative solutions for his own musical material. So that, when using the multiphonics he loves, and which are used extensively in his own work, he needed to do things he hadn't done before.
Thus, many of the multiphonics were articulated in various ways: fluttertongue, bisbigliandi, smorzato, having different parts of the multiphonic speak at different times, as well as tenuto and marcato markings.
In order to satisfy the conditions of the creative challenge Mic proposed to him, Scott had to take all kinds of risks with the material that he wanted to use. The "mistakes," such as they were, are unimportant. They amount to, for example, a multiphonic that breaks when fluttertongue is added, or a bisbigliando that doesn't work because the pitches of the multiphonic change too wildly.
These "mistakes," such as they were, are the things I am there to assist with. One of my collaborative roles is actually to suggest other ways in which Mic and Scott might solve their own creative problems while working with the clarinet. To suggest ways in which they might take their relationship with my instrument even further. (In the above example of articulated multiphonics, he hadn't considered using slap tongue, for example.)
But as I wrote, the mistakes are not important. It is the risk taking, a result of the creative obstacles these two composers will continue to place in front of each other over the course of their collaboration, which will radically – I hope – alter the way in which they conceive of their own practices.
The question remains as to what challenges our collaboration will inflict upon me, and I look forward with anticipation to the answer.

Ξ From the Journals of Edward Rochester – 1811-1815 Ξ
~ "You will hear the truth!" With a swift blow I slapped him across the cheek. ~
His eyes went wide, more with fear than pain. He ceased struggling and let himself be supported by my grip.
"You will hear the truth," I repeated, still clutching his coat. "Night after night, Mason, until I lost track of the days and weeks. Night after unending night, I would be summoned into town—whatever quarter, whatever sin-hole she had crawled into. Wherever there was drink and men willing to buy, she would find her way there, seeking appeasement for her monstrous appetites. And when she chose not to wander into wild company and partake of their bacchanals, she spent her maniac fury against those of her own household!"
I breathed fast, and when I realized I still gripped him by the coat, I let go. He fell back, stumbling into his chair, silent, still smarting from the blow across his cheek and trembling with shock. But I had more to say, and began to pace before him.
"Most every servant in this house, save Lucias and Zabeth, have fled for their lives, Mason, for she was entirely unreasonable, cruel and violent, erupting into wild rages sparked by any trivial event. One of her laundry maids she chased down the drive, threatening her with a butcher knife. When she caught the frightened thing, instead of stabbing the girl, she bit off her ear, claiming it a just punishment, for the stupid servant had disobeyed her orders. When I questioned the poor child about them, they were nothing but gibberish."
He slumped over, covering his face in his hands, his shoulders heaving with his sobbing cries. Good God, I thought. He really had no idea of how low she had sunk.
He threw up his arms, as if to ward off another blow, and shrank into the shadow, still weeping softly.
It was useless to try and explain myself. He no longer wanted to listen. Exhausted and wrung out, I dropped into a chair, too weary to say more.
We sat a long time in a heavy, uneasy silence. A dim regret that I had given way to my temper passed through my mind. At last I said,
"Mason, I only want you to understand. In spite of her conduct, and the obvious danger she was to herself and others, I would not condemn her to the horrible fate suffered by your mother."
He made no reply.
"Of course I loathe her behavior. Its fetid shadow has darkened my own existence, and robbed me of a future inheritance. I am mocked behind my back and their heartless pity sickens me. I am the cuckhold of the lunatic, who in her sickness abused and used herself ruthlessly. They shun me and those of my household as if it were plague-ridden or worse. But your sister…can you not understand? She is nothing to them. They think of her only as another inmate to provide fresh amusements to the keepers of Pandemonium. Whether you care to believe it or not, I do bear a conscience. Though her natural flesh and blood has abandoned her, she is my wife, and a duty by which I am bound. I could never consign her to that place."
He sat quietly in the chair, still holding his face. He had ceased weeping, but was too overcome, or ashamed, to meet my eye.
"All the doctors agree, and believe me, there have been many of them. She is mad, and unpredictably violent. That is why she must be confined. I, of course, bear the full force of her rage and hatred, for I am the executor of the business. I hold the key to her cell as it were, and she hates me for it. Given the means and opportunity, I know she would kill me."

How to summon a nerd
I did this last night, mostly as a joke. It's a riff on CoughButton that just triggers some AppleScript to play a bell and make my PowerMate flash. It's accessible from any web-enabled device on my network, so my wife can pick up her iPhone and summon me from anywhere in the house. It's installable on the home screen, so I'm just two taps away at any given moment.
I'm not going to release the code for this as the setup gets technical and will be different for everybody, so it would be impossible to provide any support for (and likely impossible for anyone else to get working). It was fun, though, and I thought I'd share a video of it in action.

Employment Readiness
4 Great Retail Careers You Should Know About
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were over 4.8 million workers in the retail field in 2014. But is working in a store as a cashier or a stocker a dead-end job? Can you have a retail career? The short answer is yes and here are four options to know about now.
Retail Manager
A natural progression from working as a store associate is becoming a retail manager. In this retail career, you would be the person that works behind the scenes to make sure a store runs smoothly. Some of the responsibilities include overseeing other retail employees, implementing sales promotions and strategies, and making sure the products being sold in the store are the best they can be. Retail managers are also responsible for a customer's experience and safety in a store. While it's totally possible to work your way up to this position it's often easier to get there if you have a degree.
Buyers and Planners
Did you enter the retail field because you love shopping for products? Then you can have a retail career as a buyer or a planner. In these jobs you would be responsible for choosing what type of products go into particular stores and how they get there. Buyers will shop from wholesalers and buy items based on a store's brand and what customers want in their favorite stores. Planners are the people who figure out how to get these products to the stores on time. To start in any of these two career paths, you can take advantage of entry-level positions either in-store or in a corporate office.
Security and Loss Prevention Officers
If you have previous military experience or looking to get on-the-job experience to prepare you for a law enforcement career you could be a security and loss prevention officer. In this retail career, you would be responsible for deterring and investigating shoplifting in stores. You can find them monitoring live security footage in a back office, looking out for any suspicious activity. These officers also walk the retail floors dressed in plain clothes to keep an eye on customers. If there is a shoplifting incident, they coordinate with law enforcement to get them the information and evidence they need.
Visual Merchandisers
As a visual merchandiser, you would be responsible for making sure the inside of the store looks great. Visual merchandisers come up with design ideas for the layout of the store, decide where shelves and display fixtures go, take down old displays and choose which products will get special attention. Visual merchandisers are also responsible for dressing up store windows and their mannequins, hanging up wall posters and updating price signs. If you like retail and love being creative, this is a great retail career choice for you.

I think it is the rainbow flag that always gets me. Back in 2005 or 2006, the PG ran a beautiful story with a very colorful photo of the rainbow flag as a few children ran underneath it. That symbol of families and politics and pride merged beautifully.
Be sure to check out the Post-Gazette's story on Pridefest. It is fairly positive. I only have a few quibbles, because they continue to have their history wrong. I think Pride began downtown, then moved out to Mellon Park and into Shadyside. Ledcat was on the committee and shares that they had a week of activities. I know for a fact that in 2005 when the GLCC sponsored the event, there was an entire month of events which began with the GLSEN Prom and ran through July 1 when a group of queer bicycling grannies came to town. So this "expansion" myth is a bit disengenuous and makes Pittsburgh seem a bit further behind the curve than we really have been over the past 30 odd years.
It would be great for someone to curate a history of Pittsburgh Pride so we could all understand and enjoy the wonderful accomplishments over the years, including the recent expansion. This wonderful groundswell that has built over 20 years would be something critical to document.
There is a ton going on this year so scoot over to www.pittsburghpridespace.com for all the details.
The article ends with an important point.
The main goal of the event, Ms. Buncie said, is to "celebrate all that we are."
"Most of us define ourselves as 'a part of me is gay, not all of me is gay,' " she said. "It's not just one label that defines you. We all wear many, many hats.
This sort of fits with my lesbian agenda thread on Facebook this weekend. 🙂 Now I'm going off to the earn a living part of me.
Kudos to the Pride committee for having an article published.

Article Title
White Spruce (Picea glauca) Seedling Abundance and Local Environmental Characteristics
Faculty Advisor
Jalene M. LaMontagne
White spruce (Picea glauca) regeneration is a highly variable process that is affected by factors including seedbed quality and seedling environment. This study aimed to answer three questions (i) What is the abundance of white spruce seedlings in the Huron Mountains in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? (ii) What are the environmental conditions where white spruce seedlings are present and absent? (iii) How does white spruce seedling growth compare to balsam fir (Abies balsamea), a species more centrally located in its distribution? To quantify the abundance of white spruce seedlings and the environment in which they grow, we surveyed the number of white spruce seedlings in 164 1-m2 quadrats at each of 41 locations in six sites in the summer of 2015. Overall, white spruce seedling abundance was low; a total of only 13 white spruce seedlings were counted. In comparison, 51 balsam fir seedlings were counted. While white spruce seedlings tended to be present at lower levels of both open sky and coarse woody debris within quadrats, these differences were not statistically significant. Mature white spruce trees were present at all sites, and mature balsam fir were present at four of these sites. We found the presence of balsam fir seedlings was negatively correlated to white spruce seedling performance, with white spruce seedlings tending to be smaller than balsam fir.

Non-emergency operations cancelled at Lincoln County Hospital
Call the hospital if in doubt.
Due to the snow and bad weather, all non-urgent outpatient clinics and operations have been cancelled at Lincoln County Hospital and the rest of Lincolnshire hospitals.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust said in a statement: "To protect the safety of our patients, ULHT is unfortunately cancelling all non-urgent outpatient clinics and operations.
"Many of our staff haven't been able to get into work due to heavy snow and we don't want patients to risk their safety by travelling to one of our hospitals for a routine appointment.
"People who have an outpatient appointment at any of our hospitals today should not attend unless it is urgent which is for two week wait, radiotherapy, renal or oncology services. If you are unsure, please call the contact number on your letter for advice.
"People who have an operation scheduled are being contacted if their operation has been cancelled, but we are cancelling all operations that are not emergency surgery.
"To help cope, we are redeploying outpatient staff and non-clinical staff to wards and theatres. We are also using emergency 4×4 vehicles to help get key staff into to work.
"Please stay safe and keep away from hospitals unless it is an emergency. To help ease pressures on A&Es, we urge everyone to think twice before they go to an A&E – if it's not serious or life threatening, you shouldn't be there. Call NHS 111 for advice."

Edinburgh Newcomer LAW Covers Young Fathers' 'I Heard'
Edinburgh newcomer LAW covers one of our favorite Young Fathers tracks of 2013, 'I Heard,' for the Vic Galloway show live on BBC Radio Scotland.
Newcomer LAW (aka Lauren Holt) landed hard on our radar today with her cover of Young Fathers "I Heard"– one of our Top Songs of 2013. A collaborator and close friend of the YF crew, the Edinburgh-based DIY R&B/art-rapper recently appeared on Vic Galloway's BBC Radio Scotland. Her rendition of the original trotting lullaby showcases a phenomenal range of reasons to keep an ear out for the name LAW– alternating from foreboding synth and electro-fuzzy hip-hop to a voice that stops rooms dead in their tracks. Watch LAW's cover of "I Heard" below and find her debut EP Haters & Gangstersover here.

EDITOR: Since jurisdiction over Madison's affordable housing obligations was transferred to the courts in 2015, focus has centered on the declaratory judgment litigation.
Each non-urban municipality in New Jersey has been part of this complex process — and there are no easy answers. Plans for resolution require speaking to complicated technical formulas and terms, scarcity of land on which to build, escalation in property values and the corresponding significant increase in home prices, rents, and scarcity of funding.
Housing is largely market-driven and individualized, maximizing property values being a primary goal of individual residents, landowners, and municipal governments. Since the Great Recession, the largest gains in New Jersey have been in transit-accessible communities like Madison with downtown centers. Sixty-two percent of new housing permits in New Jersey in 2016 were for luxury multifamily projects, many in northern New Jersey; source 2013-2017 American Community Survey, U.S. Census Bureau.
Interaction with social factors — racial and ethnic tensions, employment location, access to transportation, local school reputation, trends in taste and culture — all factor into future planning for municipalities like Madison and present concurrent challenges to space, funding and other constraints.
Many levels of government involvement make for a complicated navigation maze. On a local level, there are, for example, resolutions of need, tax abatements and PILOTS (payments in lieu of taxes), planning and zoning approvals, building permits, or the provision of land on which to build. On a county level, there may be grants or loans available from time to time. On a state level, there are set standards of housing and affordability and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA), as a lender, may provide rent assistance. On the federal level, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides some public housing support, rental assistance, voucher and tax credit programs, to name a few.
Funding availability directly impacts what happens — and doesn't. The current system meets neither capital nor operational needs. In addition, certain HUD programs have fostered the growth of for-profit developers, not-for-profit developers and not-for-profit advocacy firms that specialize in affordable housing and can reap significant financial benefit from development, and I worry may diminish local control. Careful and thoughtful planning, and taking advantage of timing and collaboration opportunities that present themselves, is key.
Madison has and continues to exercise good judgment in its approach to various options: new construction, rehabilitation programs, acquisitions or buy-downs, those that provide various types of affordability assistance — income limited, workforce housing, public housing, age restricted, special needs — high rise or scattered site. Current national trends include tiny homes, co-housing and mixture of uses — retail, childcare, healthcare, parking and mix with market-rate units. The application process is complex, funding is scarce and government priorities are constantly changing. The above only describes the initial stage of any development.
Madison follows those options that appear viable, as it works to balance market-driven goals, limited money and space to achieve those goals, that less and less funding seems to be available each year, and taking into account that the various options, all of which have pros and cons, are constantly subject to change.
I also want to mention Madison's funding needs for maintenance and rehabilitation of its existing affordable housing stock, all of which is aging. We are in an environment where the same issues and scarcity of funds exist for these capital projects and operational needs. NJTV News recently ran a story that spoke to the potential for all affordable housing trust funds to be allocated for use only in connection with rental units. Another story spoke of an existing public housing complex in Atlantic City in great need of significant rehabilitation that will require millions of dollars of private developer funding and will take 12 to 18 years to complete.
While our needs in Madison are on a much smaller scale, the issues we face are the same, and as in the case of new developments, there are no clear solutions. Thank you to our elected officials and all who share their commitment to affordable housing for their continued thoughtful and engaged approach to finding them.
I think it's also important to remember that affordable housing is not just about complying with court orders or settlements, or meeting technical formulas that mainly planners and lawyers understand. It's about people. Housing is essential for a stable and healthy life, meeting basic, psychological and self-fulfillment needs. It's important that we don't forget to humanize the solution process, remember the people whose needs are being met, and ensure they are part of the conversation.

Patches, patches, come get your patches!!!
5 comments:
is it really pink? I'm not a patch kinda guy but the goathead one looks interesting.ReplyDelete
I think so. Rossa = redish pinkish. Get it! They're both worth having for the memories!ReplyDelete
Have these patches been made already? If not, adding a "2015" in the bottom left corner would be nice.ReplyDelete

The patches are poised to go. Two reasons we didn't put the year on (after much back and forth): 1. Presales. We don't want to have a stack of "collectible" patches after the ride. 2. No patches last year. If you want a patch to commemorate last year's ride, these totally work for that.ReplyDelete
And yes, the patches are a solid manly pink.

More and more companies gradually pay attention to the impact of office space on enterprise development. In fact, a good office space can change employees' working habits, improve office efficiency, and bring out the unique brand personality of the enterprise.
JAXDA, a company that specializes in the design, project management and construction of corporate office environments, provides high-end office space solutions to many of the top 500 companies at home and abroad, but is also very much about the quality of employee Spaces.
In April JAXDA moved from its original zhenbei road office to yanping road, a busy street near Shanghai's jing 'an temple.The new 800 SQM co-working space, designed and built by the JAXDA team, was designed in 2015 and officially completed in March this year.
Design Concept
For JAXDA and other co-workers, you don't have to stay in your seat every day, see the same scenery, change, need a more stimulating place, change.And this is more in line with the future office trend of open office space, where to work, when to work and how to work, all at the will of employees, that is to say, employees can walk around at any time, to ensure better communication, but also to avoid the harm caused by sedentary.
In terms of design style, what JAXDA office space brings to people is a calm, innovative, progressive, environmentally friendly and zen.Of course, when you stop in the middle of it, you can really feel it.
The entrance was built by means of the elevator hall space, and the whole background wall was decorated with wooden strips, which set off the JAXDA brand LOGO, highlighting the overall sense of design and form while fully bringing in the forest environment.A large area of electric sliding glass door opens a transparent and open visual effect for the entrance space. In the design idea of creating an open joint office space, such a space experience has been followed from the beginning.The designer cancelled the front area, leaving more space for the extension of the image wall and composite space.
Instead of sealing off the top space, the entire office area retains the original cement ceiling and plumbing.Including the entire office space of all the cement pillars for the bare structure, in the construction of water paint, retained part of the original cement texture, combined with the overall simple design style, highlighted the sense of space full of natural atmosphere.
A desk that can be moved up or down at will provides a healthy standing work experience for sedentary employees.We all know that sitting in the same position for a long time is not only bad for our health, but also a part of our life.

UI5 Choropleth Map Control with Live Examples – Part 2
This is a continuation on blog post: SAPUI5 ChoroplethMap Control in which I introduced a reusable UI5 control for a map. So if you haven't read that yet, I suggest doing so before reading any further.
My goal with the ChoroplethMap control is to provide a reusable, mobile-ready and easy-to-use UI5 control (see image above) that handles common use-cases for choropleth maps. In the last post we already got the choropleth map to show and bind it to a model. Now let's add some more features to make it really usable.
New features and their descriptions are:
Properties height and width of the control can be defined.
"width" : {type : "sap.ui.core.CSSSize", defaultValue : "100%"},
"height" : {type : "sap.ui.core.CSSSize", defaultValue : "400px"},
// Usage
var map = new js.ChoroplethMap({..."height": "400px", "width": "400px"});
Pretty self-explanatory what width and height mean.
Property stylefunction for custom styling of features.
"styleFunction": {type : "any"},
function styleFunc(feature) {
return {
fillColor: '#2ca25f',
weight: 2,
opacity: 1,
color: 'white',
dashArray: '3',
fillOpacity: 0.9
Stylefunction is a callback function who should take a leaflet feature as input and should return an object that contains the style properties.
Events for click, mouseover and mouseout on map features
events: {
"mapmouseover": {},
"mapmouseout": {},
"mapclick": {}
// Usage
map.attachMapclick(function(evt) {
var feature = evt.mParameters.target.feature;
These are custom UI5 events that you can attach handlers to. They wrap leaflet events so you have access to the map layer and feature etc. Refer to leaflet examples for mode info see leaflet documentation.
Properties centerLat, centerLng and zoom.
"centerLat": {type: "float", defaultValue: "0"},
"centerLng": {type: "float", defaultValue: "0"},
"zoom": {type: "int", defaultValue: "2"}
// usage
var map = new js.ChoroplethMap({..."centerLat": 48, "centerLng": 18, "zoom": 4, });
You can use these to set the initial extent of the map or change the extent later.
Properties and setters for enabling or disabling dragging and zooming.
"draggable": {type: "boolean", defaultValue: true},
"zoomable": {type: "boolean", defaultValue: true},
// usage
var map = new js.ChoroplethMap({..."draggable": false, "zoomable": false});
These are useful in case you have data for a defined area and want visualize it on a static map. Use disabling dragging and zooming combined with centerLat, centerLng and zoom.
Not all the properties have their setters implemented so if map does not reflect changes made, call to invalidate() might be needed.
Again you can find code with examples at:
Feel free to comment or suggest fixes/features.

Hi, my little peanuts! I am still here and kicking! Blogging has definitely taken a back burner these past few weeks due to the accident and work but I am hoping to get back on track in the coming weeks.
Cody and I spent the weekend hopping from dealership to dealership, hunting down Nissan Jukes. While there are new Jukes everywhere we go (though they have discontinued them after 2017 so there's slim pickin's) they are all black, silver, or white. Am I being picky? Sure, but I have zero desire to get a boring color car. My perfect car was taken from me - I think I deserve the right to be picky.
Then I found a bright red used Juke at a dealership one town over. I won't lie, I got my hopes up. It was exactly what I wanted and for a great price. We woke up on Sunday, got dressed, and went right to the dealership.
Only to be told it had sold the day before.
Have you ever cried in the middle of a car dealership? I can now say that I have. I couldn't help it. This was not in my plans for the summer and it has not been fun trying to figure out what to do about replacing my car.
Luckily, the salesman was in the back getting the keys to another Juke they did have on the lot so I could blubber in semi-privacy at his desk with Cody trying to console me. Back at home, I did the only thing I know how to do when I feel crappy - bake! I whipped up my Mom's banana bread and tried to enjoy the remainder of my weekend.
In-between disappointing dealership visits, though, Cody and I did have some fun. We attended our first summer party on Saturday evening - a luau/pig roast for, our friend, Ben's birthday. Obviously, I had to dress appropriately!
This bright and adorable vintage dress fit the bill! I scored it for only $30 on a Facebook BST group before my trip to Austin and it was a perfect match for my supersized lily hair flower.
How was everyone else's weekend? Did you enjoy any summer activities?

Precautionary signs after blue-green algae found at Connaught Water
Epping Forest managers are warning visitors against swimming, fishing or taking dogs into Connaught Water after a suspected outbreak of blue-green algae on 18 October.
The City of London Corporation, which conserves the site, has asked the Environment Agency to investigate and are awaiting results.
Blue-green algae naturally occur in inland waters, estuaries and the sea – and they are important contributors to the biology of fresh and marine waters.
But where high levels of phosphorus combine with other factors experienced in the recent heatwave - like increased sunlight and temperature - the numbers of blue-green algae can rapidly increase. These are known as 'blooms'.
Blooms can have a temporary negative effect on the appearance, quality and use of the water. They can produce toxins which can harm and be potentially fatal for wild animals, farm livestock and pets.
Precautionary signs have been placed at the site warning people against fishing, swimming or letting animals in the water while managers monitor the situation with the Environment Agency.
The most effective method for controlling the growth of algae is to reduce the overall levels of nutrients which support its growth, and the blooms are expected to naturally clear in the coming months.
A spokesperson for the City of London Corporation said:
"This is a natural process and we need to allow time for the algae at the lake to clear on its own. In the meantime it's important that visitors and their pets do not enter the water.
"At the moment it is safest not to let your dog swim or drink in the lake. If they do come in contact with the water, wash them thoroughly with fresh water and dry them to prevent them grooming themselves and ingesting any potential algae. If you are concerned, take your dog to a vet.
"If you come in to contact with blue-green algae, seek medical advice if you have any health effects."
The City of London Corporation manages 18 major green spaces in London and south east England, including Epping Forest, Hampstead Heath, and over 200 smaller ones in the Square Mile.
They include important wildlife habitats, sites of scientific interest and national nature reserves and they are protected from being built on by special legislation.
These green spaces, most of which are charitable trusts, are funded by over £28million a year from the City Corporation, and are run at little or no cost to the communities that they serve.

Anti Static Mats – Where to Buy the Best?
Is it accurate to say that you are hoping to buy Anti Static Mats? There are numerous valid justifications to buy one. In this article I talk about why you need an anti static mat. You can likewise tap on the connection at the lower part of this article to locate the best spot to buy your anti static mat.
You get a static stun. Getting a stun is a terrible enough encounter yet did you realize that in the working environment it very well may be extremely risky and even murder you? Looking for https://www.matforkitchenfloor.com.
What is Static Electricity?
To see how electricity produced via friction is made, how about we take a gander at the above illustration of how electricity produced via friction is created when you stroll across a rug at work. At the point when you stroll across the rug, the soles of your shoes rub against the floor covering. This scouring activity causes grinding and produces a kind of energy. This energy stays torpid or stockpiled until the individual who is conveying the charge dispenses with the energy. This generally happens when the individual who is conveying the electrical charge contacts a door handle or metal gear and gets a static stun. This is known as an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
A development of friction based electricity can be hazardous. A static electrical flash can harm microchips anti fatigue kitchen mats business apparatus and hardware. In some cases the consequences of a static stun could be calamitous, particularly if the worker works with combustible synthetic compounds and gases. A sparkle can possibly cause a fire or a blast. Cases of laborers biting the dust of stun too have been accounted for. Thusly it is fundamental for resort to prudent steps. One strategy that offers defend is the utilization of antistatic mats.
The Solution
Anti Static mat for kitchen floor are intended to secure touchy hardware by rapidly drawing the static off laborers before they contact powerless synthetics or device. The Electrically Conductive Anti-Fatigue mat rapidly empties electricity produced via friction out of laborers before it tends to be given to touchy gear, for example, PCs, sales registers or any item with a microchip.
Most Anti Static Mats go under one of three groupings. These characterizations include:
- Conductive
- Antistatic and
- Non-Conductive.
Antistatic mats are produced using various materials like vinyl and treated steel filaments. They are accessible in different sizes, and tones to suit the stylistic theme and have anti-fatigue and slip safe properties. Some are light obligation mats implied for individuals to remain on or to put types of gear. For applications like utilizing under seats and development of loaded trucks, rock solid mats are required.

Autumn Color Report: Kyoto
|Schauwecker's Japan Travel Blog
by Stefan Schauwecker, webmaster of japan-guide.com
This blog is intended to record some of my travel activities in Japan.
|previous post
|next post
2011/11/27 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto
One week after my last visit to Kyoto's Higashiyama District, I returned today to checked on the state of the fall leaves at Nanzenji, Eikando and Kodaiji.
This was Kyoto's busiest weekend of the year. Hotels were booked out in the entire city and hard to reserve even in neighboring Osaka and Otsu. All coin lockers at Kyoto Station were taken by 10am, and long lines formed at the bus terminal and taxi stands. I am glad that things will calm down again from tomorrow.
The autumn colors remain delayed this year with respect to their usual schedule and lag behind even last year's slow pace by several days. But in the meantime the peak of the season has been reached in several spots around Kyoto, and the next week should be the best time to witness the seasonal spectacle. I expect the colors in some places to survive even into mid December and the Arashiyama Hanatoro event.
We started our day at Nanzenji where we revisited the Nanzenin subtemple. Colors have considerably improved here from last week, and many trees were at their peak. The small subtemple also provided a break from the crowds as it went unnoticed by many visitors to the main temple. The colors on Nanzenji's main grounds are also about to reach their peak.
At nearby Eikando the peak of the season has been reached. The steep admission fee of 1000 yen made many visitors just take photos over the fence and reduced the crowds on the grounds. I expect the temple to remain spectacular for at least a week.
The colors at Kodaiji have also improved from last week. While some trees were already brilliantly red, the temple grounds overall should still see further improvement over the coming days and satisfy visitors with autumn colors for at least one week to come.
