|The Pirates signed Powell to a minor league contract for 2009. According to the blog maintained by the Indianapolis announcer, Powell wanted to return and the Pirates obliged him. He throws a fastball, curve and change, and generally throws strikes without missing many bats.
1994-2000: Looked like decent prospect in the Expos' chain, but never got established in majors.
2001-08: Had very good partial season in AAA with Padres, but decided to try his luck in Japan. Had a good five year run from 2002-06, but declined badly his last two years. The limited playing time in 2007 may indicate he was hurt.
2009: Did not receive invitation to major league camp in spring training, but instead competed for spot in Indianapolis rotation. Ended up mainly in bullpen, but made spot starts throughout the year. Rebounded well and finished strongly, with ERA of 0.99 in August and September. Pitched much better overall in relief, with opponents' average of .245 compared to .322 starting.
2010: Again served as swing man, only this time starting more than relieving. Pitched about same as in 2009, maybe a little better. Allowed fewer hits and was much better starting, but ended up with higher overall ERA. At times the team seemed to leave him in games when he wasn't pitching well, no doubt to take up innings. When the major league staff is in a constant state of flux, as the Pirates' was, the AAA staff is sure to be, too. Powell was a much-needed source of stability and innings for the Indy staff.
The Pirates probably wouldn't mind bringing him back in 2011, but with a host of real prospects due to arrive from Altoona, Powell's fading chance of returning to the majors might be better served somewhere else.

Graphic designer Mike Joyce will be releasing his brand new book 'Swissted: Vintage Rock Posters Remixed and Reimagined' in March. The collection will consist of his on-going graphic design project 'Swissted,' in which Mike redesigns classic gig posters.
Typography inspired
Redesigning vintage punk, hardcore, new wave, and indie rock show flyers into international typographic style posters, each design is set in lowercase Berthold Akzidenz-Grotesk medium. It's also worth noting that every show that is advertised actually happened.
Inspired through a Swiss-modernist lens, the designs feature bands such as Weezer, Black Flag, Bad Religion, and Sonic Youth. The book features 200 posters, all microperforated and ready to frame, with the foreword written by legendary designer Steven Heller.

In a previous post I worked through enabling trunking and NIC teaming for my VMWare ESX server connected to my Cisco Switch. When I was complete I left behind a problem and the comments here, and here suggested I enabled portfast. Today I attempted to fix the problem and enable portfast.
Switch access
Last week I needed to move all my ports from vlan1 to vlan4. When I did this it removed my access to the management ip of the switches. Thanks to the trusty blue serial cables I am still able to access these switches and configure them. So I added an ip address to interface vlan4 and on two of the switches (2950) it put the interface vlan1 in shutdown. On the third switch (2960G) It allows interfaces on both vlan1 and vlan4.
But try as I might I could not get consistent response on these new vlan management ip addresses. Oh and here is the catch, I am (slowly) migrating from a 192.x ip addressing scheme to a 10.x ip addressing scheme. So I took this opportunity to migrate these switches – at least their management ip addresses – to the new scheme. In hindsight, had I not done this I wouldn't have had a problem.
Turns out I forgot about ip default-gateway. Evidently I had too many beers Wednesday afternoon to think through routing when changing ip subnets. The simple and quick fix was this:
switch#conf t switch(config)#ip default-gateway 10.0.1.1 switxh(config)#exit
Viola, fixed.
Admittedly, I know nothing about portfast so I did my research and discovered it is simple to enable portfast, yet everything screams errors and problems. So I have it enabled, and it is working. I'll know more when I get my second ESX server deployed and HA in the mix.
switch#conf t switch(config)#int range gi0/14 - 15 , po1 switch(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast trunk switch(config-if)#exit switch(config)#exit
Questions for the crowd out there, Should I enable portfast on both my ports and my port-channel? Also, I enabled portfast trunk. Why did I have to specify that (I know the ports are trunked), does portfast work differently in a trunked environment or is it the concern of network flooding that they add in an extra step for us.

Setting up the Studio
I've been snowed in for days. Every once in a while, though, it's been clear enough to walk the two miles to the studio downtown. I really want to be printing, but it's going to take a few days to get everything moved, the type unpacked, and the press adjusted.
[Making sure I left enough room for access]
As you saw in yesterday's video, the very heavy press rolls easily on short pieces of pipe. Once it was in place, I used a heavy hammer to pound one pipe sideways and lock the press in place while I lifted it with a car jack and removed the pipes.
[Pipe in the brake position]
While I was snowed in, I had taken a list of measurements home with me and worked out the beginnings of a floor plan for the new studio.
[The Plan]
[The results]
When we were packing up the type, it was all so fast that I couldn't really stop and look at all of what I was getting. Here are a few highlights from the "bullets and borders" case.
[Manicule, Printer's Fist]
[Beautiful Borders]
[Awesome creatures]
And then, there are the fonts themselves. I think that I will need to print a set of specimens in between real work to give me an idea of what these fonts are and how they can be used together.
[an unusual "rt" ligature]
It's all very exciting and will be even moreso when I finally have the press adjusted and can do some printing!

The call to be a Sister of Charity is an invitation to give your whole life to God as a companion of Jesus and of the Sisters who share this call.
Together we continue the mission of Jesus in the world, bringing the Gospel message of love and compassion to all people especially the poor and the marginalised.
Discerning my vocation
Every person is called by God to a particular way of life which, if lived faithfully and generously, will bring true happiness to themselves and others.
The call to religious life is one such pathway and is a gift offered to some people by God as the way in which they can best fulfil God's unique plan for them. It is lived out in the context of the Church and of a particular religious congregation.
The congregation of the Sisters of Charity was founded by Mary Aikenhead in 1815. Her initial inspiration came from seeing the widespread poverty in the lives of many of the people living in Dublin. But up till then, women religious did not normally minister outside their convents, so Mary realised that a new form of religious life was needed.
With the help of her friend Archbishop Murray, she left for York where, under the guidance of the Loreto sisters, she came to value the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola. This led her to the conviction that the spirituality of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) was the most suitable for the congregation she was about to found. Returning to Dublin, and helped by her Jesuit friends, she developed the Constitutions of the Sisters of Charity, adding to the traditional vows of poverty, chastity and obedience a fourth vow: service of the poor.

1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
2 He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.
3 He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
4 When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, 'Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don't write them.'
5 The angel who I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,
6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay,
7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, the prophets.
8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, 'Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.'
9 I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, 'Take it, and eat it up. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.'
10 I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
11 They told me, 'You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.'

Shinya Ito & Kaori Yamamoto breaks tradition
A design project which tries to overpass the limits of design
Shinya Ito & Kaori Yamamoto is a design project that breaks with tradition, trying to overpass the limits in which design is defined. In particular, they try to overcome every hypothetic barrier by making it possible restraint to freely express design as it is originally conceived.
Bloom is a simple pendant light that is inspired by the little flower coming into bloom seen by the designers during while traveling. The translucent PMMA coated with a thin mirror creates a beautiful contrast between the transmitted light and the reflected light. It is made by assembling eight elements resembling light petals.
Milk Crown Mirror is a three-dimensional mirror that represents things in a very unusual way.
This mirror reflects scenery gently and creates interior like they were decorated with a work of art.
Being made of acrylic mirror material, it is very light, hard to be broken and easy to handle.
Shower Light is a light product representing the image of water falling from the shower. It illuminates by spreading a diffused thank to the acrylic plate and to the optical fibre from dazzling light of the LED.
These elements, not only plays a very important role from the functional perspective, but they also give shape to the lamp also providing for the physical structure.

Our Mission
To provide a program where each of those serving, and those who are being served, are respected and valued as equally important assets of our nonprofit community. Our goal is to provide social services in the community with dignity, to persons 62+ and/ or disabled of low income.
To afford every opportunity through empathy, grace, education and awareness of the available resources and services offered in our community. To encourage, social activities, healthy nutrition and stimulation while offering our facility and our nonprofit as a luminous to all nonprofits and volunteers in our community. J.W. Jeffries
Pilgrim Terrace Co-Op Homes
The program was designed for a non profit to hold the property in trust. Pilgrim Terrace Cooperative Homes (DBA) was the non profit who served as a management oversight entity. PTCH has always been governed by resident volunteers and selected members of the Santa Barbara Community who serve on the Board of Directors.
In order to facilitate the rehabilitation and to provide for the 55-year preservation of low-income housing, PTCH entered into a partnership with Reiner Communities.
The partnership secured tax-exempt bonds and tax credits in order to pay off the existing HUD mortgage, acquire the property and perform the rehabilitation. Reiner Communities now manages the housing element allowing PTCH the freedom to offer full time social services to our residents and the entire Santa Barbara Community through networking with other non profits.

It took a week to get going, but Karen and I have done fairly well with our diving in our first 4 weeks here in Belize. I registered for my Padi Rescue Diver Course with Belize Pro Dive Center. After some initial confusion over prerequisites the instructor Ian, and I got it all in place. A very enjoyable course and fun to do scenarios about things that rarely (hopefully) ever happen. Hope to write the final exam later this week, very excited.
Karen and I have also done 4 dives with Belize Pro Dive Center over a couple of different days. The equipment has been excellent as we chose not to travel with diving equipment and have to rent everything. We had Ian as our Dive master on the first day and Pedro on the second day, with Tony being our boat Captain both times. I must say that they run things very professionally and I found the pre dive briefing thorough and complete and leaving me comfortable with the upcoming dives. The locations we have been diving are literally 5 minutes from the dive shop. We do our surface intervals at the dive shop, which is rather convenient.
The deepest we have gone so far with these guys has been 97ft. Most dives are 80ish for the first and 60ish feet for the second and last around 45 minutes. Very enjoyable.
Our second day of diving with Belize Pro Dive Center was Karen's birthday. Everyone of the staff took the time to wish her a Happy Birthday and they even had a special treat at the end of the day.
The diving was pretty good as well that day.
We also did a night dive with a friend of ours from Indiana. The night dive was spectacular. The activity and diversity of life was amazing. I have to say though that I was less than impressed with the Dive master. This dive was with a different company and because the Dive master made such a point of saying he was an independent freelance dive master I don't really want to name the company because it may be unfair to them. The equipment was adequate, but had a number of flaws that should have been remedied before being rented out. As well, the Dive master was pushing the entire time to get things moving, though he said, "take your time" his actions screamed otherwise. It was an excellent learning experience for me. Because the depth of the dive was quite shallow, maximum 35ft, I was comfortable dealing with anything that might go wrong. But in the future it gives me an excellent yard stick by which to say, Whoa! We will definitely be doing another night dive, just with a different company.
The diving here is awesome and we look forward to exploring more of the reef over the coming months.

For many years, the dish cocido meant for me the Madrid version of garbanzos, cabbage, and sausage. It was delicious, and it never occurred to me to hope for anything more delicious. But a couple of years ago in the Maragatería region in the province of León, I had the local version, cocido maragato, and it's even better. Instead of being served as one steaming bowl of stew, it comes as separate dishes—the broth, the garbanzos, the potatoes, the cabbage, and the smoked meats.
We were a group of 10 adults with six kids in tow, and we'd come over the mountains from Gijón for a day's walk along the Camino de Santiago. Most of the group was dropped off at the beginning of the walk, and then the cars were driven ahead and left in the town at the end where in six hours we'd arrive, hungry and tired and ready to appreciate the meal in a restaurant there where we had reservations. One car returned with all the drivers, and it was left to be picked up on the way home at the end of the day. Off we started.
Along the way we met some other caminantes, walkers. The typical stage on the Camino is about 25 kilometers, 15 miles, and the usual routine is walk early, stop for a late lunch, and then walk on. But the retired couple we met were out not to do a stage a day but to have an adventure a day. They arose from their lodgings, had a cup of coffee, and set off, and when they got hungry, stopped for breakfast. They looked around, they detoured, they visited little villages off the established route, and they ate, and ate well. Eventually they would have lunch, and then a long siesta under a tree, before they looked for a place to relax for the night. They weren't limited to a week of walking, or even two. They had the rest of their lives, they told us from the shade of a tree in a courtyard where they were resting when we came in, and there was no hurry. We, unlike the couple, did have a deadline: a three o'clock reservation. After a drink of water, we left them there, still drawing out their pleasure, and walked on, as the Spanish say, sin prisa pero sin pausa, without hurry but without halting. Eventually we arrived at the town and were ushered into the restaurant—one of a dozen along the old street, all refurbished low old houses, all serving the same specialty of cocido.
The local treat of migas, fried bread crumbs, came first; it was fantastic. The five dishes making up the cocido followed. Had they all been set down at once, I'd not have known where to begin, like the donkey in Buridan's conundrum that can't decide which equidistant pile of hay to sample first and so starves. My donkey, though, would never do that; he'd swing his big head in my direction, not rudely but as if to ask in mild perplexity, "Really? Two? What's with that? Just give me one that lasts." Then, finding himself closer to one pile, he'd start there.
Like my donkey, I was saved a decision. The dishes were brought one at a time, to be eaten in courses. I started. But first I contemplated. The dishes are served in the reverse of the usual order, the meat first, the broth last. I could have happily filled up on any one, but I knew another was coming, and proceeded cautiously. The meat was juicy, but I waited. Garbanzos, sweet. Potatoes, didn't know they could be so satisfying. And then the shredded cabbage, a platter of it, a mound of red-gold, steaming, moist, succulent. Succulent but not wet! And the taste! I was in heaven, I was beside myself, I was, as the Spanish say, en mi salsa, in my sauce. If the wine comes early and is plentiful, you might also be cocido, literally meaning cooked but signifying sloshed, a danger when the wine is as rich and pleasing as the food on the table, the perfect accompaniment to first one dish, then another, then another.
That was in the village of Castrillo de los Polvazares one spring day, the afternoon advancing outside the windows of the small and cozy restaurant, time marked within by the cycle of dishes, the sense of well-being growing. The warm air, the hot food, the friends, the ray of sun through the small rippled panes of the old windows, the chilly morning behind and the chill evening still not upon us—why must it end? What's with that?

Sample Prep and Nucleic Acid Shearing
Sample preparation and nucleic acid shearing using Covaris' AFA-energetics®
Scientists choose Covaris Laboratory Services for NGS sample preparation and nucleic acid shearing for several reasons including increased throughput, technology evaluation prior to purchasing, and urgency of prepped sample needs.
Nucleic Acid Shearing Service
Why choose Covaris Laboratory services?
- Project work – you may prefer to immediately use the Covaris Services rather than purchase an instrument based on project timing.
- Increased throughput – customers with a single-tube Focused-ultrasonicator (S-Series or M-Series) will use our DNA/RNA Shearing and FFPE Extraction Service when a project requires a higher throughput.
- Evaluation – sometimes customers want to evaluate the Covaris Adaptive Focused Acoustics® (AFA®) technology with their samples before purchasing an AFA system.
Benefits of sending your samples to Covaris for processing include:
- Reproducible, narrow size distribution
- Non-contact, closed tube–no chance of cross contamination
- Isothermal, high recovery process
- Compatible & validated with ALL Next-gen sequencing platforms—SOLiD/Ion Torrent, Roche/454, Illumina/HiSeq to MiSeq
How it Works
- Contact [email protected] to discuss your specific product needs and establish an agreement.
- Covaris will send you an order form with the appropriate protocol to follow, and the required number of sample processing tubes, for preparing and shipping your samples to Covaris.
- Covaris will process the samples according to the base-pair range specified by the customer. Prepared samples are returned to the customer, with electropherogram confirmation if requested.

In that photo the soil looks very dry - deceptive obviously.ReplyDeleteReplies
And rain is forecast for the next few days also.Delete
I managed to get some brassicas planted at the weekend and some sweet peas by walking on planks. I look forward to seeing pics of when Haddocks is fully planted.ReplyDeleteReplies
The row you might just be able to see are brassicas. Red Cabbage, Sprouts, and Cauli's. Since I put them, in two weeks ago, it's rained solidly.Delete
I've just made some more Soda bread. From taking out all the ingredients, to putting it in the oven, took all of TEN MINUTES. In another 45 minutes it'll be ready to eat!ReplyDelete
The next time I mention Soda bread will be about COST. For the moment I have no idea, other than it costs almost nothing.
I had a potager a few weeks ago, now I appear to have a new muddy duck pond. I hope Lady M returns soon with some antipodean sunshine.ReplyDelete
It is all very frustrating - with more days of rain, rain and more rain forecast. As soon as the sun comes out we'll all be out there working hard. Is that soda bread ready yet? It smells wonderful!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes all finished. I gave it just 40 mins as it looked 'done'.Delete
All you need do to the top little row of mounds is put light-bulbs on them and you will have re-created that installation we made together all those years ago - remember?!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ah yes, I remember it well!Delete
lashing down here too, with an usual NE wind, making it shilly. A day for fires, soup and sewing methinks.ReplyDelete

Late sowing for everyone this year it seems.ReplyDelete

Woke to glorious sunny skies here today Cro...sending some your way too!
I hate waiting for conditions to be right for planting -- I want to do it NOW! At least you're prepared and those little plants won't be hurt my some extra time under the plastic.ReplyDelete
Hoping the sun will shine for you soon.ReplyDelete
LOL, John!ReplyDelete
We got pelted with rain the last few days, but did need it. The sun's out for the moment, but we're supposed to have showers off and on for the next few days. That past few brought between 2 and 5 inches (~5-13 cm), so i think we're nearly caught up on what we need.

At what temperature do you bake the soda bread, Cro?Replies
200 C for 40 mins, for a 250 gm loaf. The one I made this morning came out beautifully again!Delete
If the rain persists, you could always plant rice. Just think, in a few months' time, you'll be wishing for some of that rain. At least, that's how it is here. Near-drought conditions every summer.ReplyDelete

1 independent reviews for China holiday, ancient capitals tour
Reviews for China holiday, ancient capitals tour
Owen Cawley review 10 Dec 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?Visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an and seeing the amazing jade carvings and Buddha statue.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?Beijing airport is full of fairly elaborate scams - call your guide if you can't immediately see them. It's worth getting a SIM that works in China, too, for this reason.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?I felt like this benefited the local people, though I don't think it specifically reduced environmental impact.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?Amazing experience, one of the best travel experiences I've had, would highly recommend the tour operator - the guides were all knowledgeable and extremely helpful and friendly.
Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.

Perhaps you've seen the iconic advertisement for Le Chat Noir in a French souvenir shop and thought, "that's so French!" Maybe you've seen the infamous youtube star Henri the existentialist chat noir and thought, "that's even more French!" Located in the bohemian Montmartre, Le Chat Noir (which translates to the black cat) was a famous "cabaret artistique" 1
It was here that many famous artists congregated to converse and create. Artists like Debussy and Satie got their start here2 accompanying singers and helping to carve out the definition of "French" music. Though it opened in the late 1800's, it was still bustling in the 1920's. Montmartre became filled with cabarets like Le Chat Noir and Moulin Rouge that quintessentially became "so French!" The music scene changed, however, when jazz-filled dance halls became more and more popular.
At the mention of jazz, you might thing "that's so 1920's!" Actually, jazz was just starting to make its way to Paris in the early 1920's. In 1924, a popular jazz club opened its doors for the first time. Le Bal Nègre rue Blomet in Montparnasse became a central destination for anyone interested in the "exotic" and "authentic" jazz scene of Paris. For artists, Parisian jazz clubs often proved a fruitful starting point. Not only was there a change in music, but also the role of the audience members. Whereas cabarets were distinctly a show meant to be watched and heard by the audience, jazz was found in dance halls where people were encouraged to practice the latest dance moves. Jazz spread throughout Paris, and was especially popular in Montparnasse and quickly spread to Montmartre.
For more information about Jazz in Montmartre, this video gives a good primer:
The invasion of jazz initially upset many Parisians who feared the replacement of French music by foreign sounds. Despite fears, jazz did not bring about an end to French music, rather in many cases jazz became integrated into French music as artists were able to make the music their own. Both Montparnasse and Montmartre became centers of music for people of all nationalities, social classes, and interests to enjoy music. It is these types of performances that provide for us an idea of alternatives to more formal ballets and operas and in doing so, they provide us with subjects that are "so 1920's French."

She was very understanding, very upfront with us about what to expect and always willing to listen to our concerns and needs. We hated to part with our condo but after being away from family for so long, realized that we needed to be back home….. Deb made the decision much easier for us. We would most definitely recommend her to anybody who wants or needs to sell their property! If the time ever comes that we may decide to try it again, Deb will be our first call!"

Jordan Brand's re-imagining continues with Air Jordan 5 Premium. While this 1990 classic began life as a pure performance court shoe for Michael Jordan, it enjoys new life over 25 years later as a premium offering. Refined platinum silver leather abounds, lining the inside and outside, even the midsole. As another marker of its upscale status, the mesh vent windows have been replaced with a woven aesthetic, and milky white translucent rubber is featured on the tread.
Take in official photos of the Air Jordan 5 Premium "Pure Platinum" below. Release information to come.

Payments services and technologies provider SafeCharge International Group Ltd (LON:SCH), in partnership with Camden Market, a part of the Market Tech portfolio, has announced the integration of WeChat Pay, a widely adopted e-wallet payment solution in China.
The iconic Camden Market, London's fourth biggest tourist destination, is the first in the UK to make WeChat Pay available at the point of sale. Chinese tourists and the UK's Chinese community will now be able to shop using their preferred payment method as the introduction of the payment system begins and WeChat is implemented in stages across Camden Market.
WeChat Pay has revolutionised payments in China and is now rapidly extending its reach into Europe. In 2017 alone, €1.5 trillion in payments has been processed by WeChat Pay globally and the service accounts for 40 percent of the Chinese mobile payment market, (according to iResearch). This is significant for merchants in Europe, as the total amount spent by Chinese tourists exceeds the amount spent by European and US tourists combined, with 50 percent of luxury purchases in Europe made by tourists from Asia. Unlike some ewallets and contactless payments, which are capped at £30 per transaction, WeChat Pay offers more flexibility to merchants and consumers. Therefore, it is a competitive differentiator for merchants to be able to offer the payment service.
We are proud to be the first in the UK to integrate WeChat Pay at the point of sale in Camden Market. This innovative payment method is seen as the next big payment phenomenon in Europe," stated David Avgi, CEO SafeCharge.
This integration demonstrates that we are at the forefront of payments technology, where we are constantly exploring new opportunities to enhance our payments solutions.
We are extremely pleased to be working with WeChat and SafeCharge to integrate WeChat Pay into our point of sales system at Camden Market," said Ceri Davies, Operations Director of Camden Market.
With hundreds of thousands of Chinese visitors coming to London each year, we feel that this is another way in which we can continue to promote the heritage of Camden Market abroad, and attract new visitors to our shops, stalls, and restaurants. With over 30,000 visitors a day, Camden Market remains one of London's most enduring attractions, and we believe that this is a great way to adapt to the growing number of Chinese locals and tourists who visit the market. We are constantly on the lookout for new and innovative ways to support our tenants, and hope that this integration will allow our merchants to continue to meet the needs of a diverse London.
One of the first tenants to accept WeChat Pay, Killa Dilla's co-founder Joshua Whiting said:
We love to bring new technology into our operations and we are very excited to be one of the first UK businesses to be using WeChat Pay. WeChat Pay is massive in China and we believe the way this "app for everything" integrates social media, messaging and payment systems will be hugely beneficial for our business.

There is no doubt that after the NPC (National People's Congress) ended, the special legislation in regard to Hong Kong and the program for creating jobs have been approved, the internal political, financial and international relations between USA, EU and RF have not been showing a sign for a stabilization or improvement. Unfortunately, they are even worsening as far as the media hysteria is concerned – 66% of Americans perceive Chinese as an enemy (week ending May 30th). Therefore, it has to be assumed that the war between USA and PRC would intensify at all main fronts: Trade, Covid-19, Hongkong, Taiwan and South China Sea.
An indication offers the fact that the US Department of Transportation has suspended all passenger flights by Chinese carriers to and from the United States, effective June 16. The department said the move comes after China's failure to permit US carriers to resume flights to China amid the coronavirus pandemic.

College engineering projects are great, because they afford budding engineers the opportunity to build interesting things without the need for financial motivation. Usually, some basic requirements are established, but students are free to get creative and build something that appeals to them personally. For our readers, mechatronics courses are ripe for these kinds of projects, as the field combines electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and programming.
[Ethan Crane] is in just such a course, and had a final project due with only one real requirement: it had to use a PICAXE. Obviously, this gave [Ethan] quite a bit of freedom to build something unique, and what he came up with is an "Anti-Entropy Machine" designed to sort M&M candies by color. The electronics are as simple as [Ethan] could make them (a good philosophy for an engineering student to adhere to). There is an IR sensor to determine if a candy is in the hopper, an RGB sensor to determine its color, and servos to position the delivery chute based on color and operate the hopper.
What really makes the Anti-Entropy Machine stand out is the build quality and craftsmanship. It's definitely not just cobbled together, and the construction is aesthetically pleasing while also clearly displaying the electronics and sorting mechanism. As you'd expect, this isn't the first sorting machine we've seen around here. So, if Skittles are your candy of choice, you're in luck!

Thinking back to when I was 18 years old and a Freshman at Adelphi College majoring in History and Government. My days were pretty conflict free and easy.
I was living in Flushing, NY. in a beautiful Colonial Home. I took the subway to Jamaica, and then got the Long Island Railroad, and took the train to Garden City, L.I.When I got there at about 9:00 p.m. I went from Class to Class. I had lunch at the snack -bar, and by 4:00 p.m., I was headed back to Flushing. I remember that I was able to walk from building to building. It was lovely. It was like being in the Country. Nobody bothered me. at lunch time I sat at a table with a girl-friend, and the rest of the table were filled with young men who either liked my girl-friend, Kitty or me. There were white Christian students and black Christian students and Jewish Students. There were also Chinese students, and Indian Students. I remember there were gay-students on campus also. There was a Society they attended; the Mattachine Society but there were no demonstrations, and there was no hostility between any of the students. The black students sat by themselves. I think I was the only one who talked to them out-side of our classes.
Today, there is friction on the campuses. Jewish students are assailed. Not by Christian students, but by Muslim Students, reacting to what they believe is happening in Israel; and the Jewish students, mostly from non-orthodox homes are being targeted for what the Muslim students believe the reality is today between the Palestinians and the Israeli. The young, naïve, Jewish students, many of whom know nothing about the politics of Israel or Palestine, believe what the Muslim students are accusing and charging them with.
When we have had a speaker from the Israeli Consulate at our Meetings, the speakers tell us that the worst problem facing them is the trouble on American College campuses.
Why don't Jewish parents speak to their children who are college-students .and tell them what is happening in Israel today? American-Jewish parents know that there is no peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis. And they don't know why there is not?
Most American-Jews are unfamiliar with the problems of Israel. The American economy has not been good. Money buys less than it did it the past. Both parents work. They have trouble at their jobs. Jobs are not as secure as they were years ago. The parents may not like their jobs. Both parents need to work to support their College children.
I have two sons in their Fifties. They are well-educated, married to well-educated wives. The older son has two children, a girl of 20 and a boy of 18. If they are to finish college, both parents will have to work. It's hard to compete at a job and raise children at the same time! Some parents want to give their children a secular education, training them to enter the labor- market, and keep up with their religious education. Something has to give!
I am a fund-raiser for Israel. Israel has been my interest and my passion since I was little and knew that my father's family in Warsaw was being killed in the Warsaw Ghetto because they were Jews, and, subsequently, I saw documentary films, about the war years. Had America lost the war; Russia would have gotten rid of its Jews, also. Today, we have Ecumenism, and the Christian People, especially the Fundamentalists are strongly supportive of the Jews.
Today, both the Jewish and Christian young are being assailed by the Moslem Youth. The middle-East today has extremist Muslims to whom both the Jews and Christians are Infidels! or unbelievers! What is to be done about this?
"MY MIGHTY RIGHT-HAND" Organization is our answer! The "Mighty Right Hand" is initiating a group of courses in Oranim on Tivon, Israel which will seek to re-claim the role of the American Jewish and Christian Students on the College Campuses in the United States. This link will take you to the Oranim Summer Program, curriculum, and costs: Oranim Summer Program

Norwegian Idiot Stian Ytterdahl Does It Again...
Not content with the McDonald's invoice tattooed on his right arm, the idiot boy has just had another invoice, this time from his tattooist, tattooed on his left arm.
As you might imagine, his parents are thrilled and his mother is having a nervous breakdown...

Idiot seems about right.ReplyDelete
What's he going to do when they change their prices???ReplyDelete
I thought Norway had a brighter future than a lot of places. Guess I could've been mistaken.ReplyDelete
Howard T T - that depends whether as client or employee. Either way, he's not gonna look like a great catch.

In the original story He chose to get the 1st tattoo (a mcdonald's receipt) instead of shoving a barbie doll up his butt. It was part of a game he plays with his idiot friends. I am now wondering what the alternative was with this new tattoo. lol.ReplyDelete

The quickly developing Whitestone Station in Menomonee Falls will add another destination next week as Grate Modern Mac and Cheese, a fast-casual concept from Roaring Fork Restaurant Group, opens its doors on Tuesday, Aug. 29.
The 2,500-square-foot restaurant features more than 10 gourmet mac and cheese entrees, such as buffalo chicken, chicken bacon jalapeno ranch and green chile pepperjack.
"When you think about Wisconsin, what comes to your head more than cheese and dairy?" said Abby Hansen, Roaring Fork Restaurant Group director of marketing. "Mac and cheese is something people eat and it brings them back to a really good place in their life. You can put a variety on it yet keep that nostalgia."
All entrees are crafted from recipes that were developed in-house using only Wisconsin milk, butter and cheese, along with many other local ingredients. Cheese comes from Renard's Cheese in Door County. Milk and heavy cream comes from Sassy Cow Creamery. Milk for kid's meals, and yogurt, comes from Kemps. They use Klement's brats and hot dogs, Patrick Cudahy bacon and Ney's Big Sky ground beef.
"It was important for us to be proud of what we're creating here in Wisconsin," Hansen said. "When you travel and mention you're from Wisconsin people always talk about us being the dairy state. We're incredibly proud of that so having the dairy sourced locally, and having these partnerships, is a really great way to not only make sure we have quality ingredients in our dishes, but also to showcase what Wisconsin is proud of."
The new restaurant will be open daily from 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m. You can find more information here.

Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who defied prejudice in the '50s and '60s to help NASA send the first men to the moon, has died at the age of 101. Only recently famous after the film "Hidden Figures" was made about her and her colleagues, she maintained until the end that she was "only doing her job."
For those who don't know Johnson's story, it is probably best told by reading the book (by Margot Lee Shetterly) or watching the movie — which although it takes some license with the events and persons depicted, is a fascinating and revealing triple portrait of its three protagonists. NASA has also collected numerous historical accounts and anecdotes at a special memorial page.
Johnson and her colleagues struggled unceasingly against racism and sexism, being three women of color attempting to enter an industry which was, and even half a century later remains, dominated by white men. Although Johnson always said her colleagues at NASA were kind and professional, there were nevertheless systematic and deep-seated biases against her at every step of her journey.
After the film's release and acclaim, she treated her sudden fame with bemusement, happy to be recognized but insistent that she had only been doing her job. Receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama in 2015 was certainly a welcome perk.
But Johnson may have been wary of an over-concentration of credit. She more than anyone would have been aware of the others in similar positions who, while they may not have been quite as instrumental or prominent in the moment — John Glenn famously asked before a flight that a mechanical computer's calculations be checked by "the girl," meaning Johnson — were nonetheless indispensable and quite as hidden.
These women, like Johnson's colleagues Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughn, not only challenged the racist and sexist zeitgeist of the time, but very simply helped America achieve what is perhaps its most historically remarkable achievement — the Apollo program — but also to aid in the invention and definition of multiple industries.
Johnson was a remarkable mind and person whose achievements went for too long unnoticed. Had she not been brought into the attention of popular culture, her achievements would likely never have been known outside a few colleagues and historians — and we would all be the poorer for it. Who, and where, are today's hidden figures, and would we recognize them if we saw them?

Here is the story from The Daily Nation: Raila won 2007 election says Macharia.
The truth trickles out gradually. Of course, those of us involved in the Election Observation for the International Republican Institute were following those results being reported live on Kenyan television from our headquarters in Nairobi during that Friday-Sunday after the election on Thursday, December 27, 2007. Dr. Joel Barkan, our expert, explained by Saturday night that based on the numbers that were reported, it appeared that Kibaki could not win. (Part of the reason why I was surprised to be told early Sunday morning by our "lead delegate" that "it's going to be Kibaki" during the time when the Electoral Commission of Kenya had suspended the announcement of results.)
I understood that Joel's public statements back in Washington that we couldn't say for sure that Raila won, but could say that Kibaki lost reflected that known results as reported by the media houses showed Kibaki could not have gotten the most votes. Realistically, under the first past the post system under Kenyan law at that time, this leaves Raila winning (since he didn't lose his Kibera constituency to Stanley Livondo).
I assumed that one of the primary motivations for John Michuki's then-notorious order suspending live broadcasting by the media houses from December 30 was to facilitate making sure those results that the media houses "took down" did not "resurface" after ECK Chairnan Samuel Kivuitu announced to an audience limited to the State-owned Kenya Broadcasting Commission that Kibaki had won after all.
As we know from my Freedom of Information Act Series research, Ambassador Ranneberger reported to Washington that he had personally witnessed the changed tally sheets at the ECK along with EU Observation Chief Lambsdorff. [In particular, see Part Ten, Ranneberger on ECK, "Much can happen . . . and it did"]
Unfortunately, Ranneberger nonetheless initially asked Kenyans to accept the results of the election without disclosing what he had witnessed and congratulations were quickly issued from a spokesman for the State Department back in the U.S. that Sunday. Subsequently we retracted the congratulations, said there were problems with the election and took the position that there was supposedly "no way to know" who won–still without disclosing what Ranneberger witnessed until his January 2, 2008 cable to Washington was declassified (with redactions) in response to my FOIA request.
As for the media house evidence, this stayed buried until now. The ECK never did publish any polling station, or even polling centre, results at all in the presidential race. The Kreigler Commission stayed off the presidential tally at the ECK–even though it was part of their legal charge as fairly construed.
After the election debacle, Ranneberger did spend a significant amount of energy promoting "the reform agenda" going forward during his remaining years in Nairobi. Unfortunately, it appears that "reform" largely failed to take (because reform built on a foundation of impunity for corruption was "a house built on sand").
For more see my "War for History Series".
And from the news before the holidays:
The Standard headlines John Githongo's day in court on Anglo Leasing after all these years. Of course, Kibaki knew.
Sadly, embarassingly, the testimony comes not in a criminal prosecution of the looters, nor an action by the Government of Kenya to recover any of the millions of dollars lost–nor even a defense against claims for fraudulent debt–but rather in Githongo's defense of himself in a libel action by one of those implicated in Githongo's corruption disclosures when he left office in 2005.
It has been such a disappointment to me to see comfortable Westerners celebrate and bask in the reflected glow of Githongo's courage as a whistleblower over the years while ultimately selling him out by looking the other way while at the next election the tallies were rigged to keep Kibaki and his cohort in power, followed by the Uhuruto succession after which the Government paid huge additional sums on Anglo Leasing debt and went on its merry way to ramp up corruption to new heights.
Kenya will not be secure so long as its Government remains so pervasively corrupt. Foolish fickleness by the U.S. and others in the West buys us nothing of value.

"Our customers should be very pleased that Republic is stepping into the forefront of the 'e' category with such an outstanding producer as Johnson Creek," notes Republic Tobacco president.
Johnson Creek Enterprises LLC, makers of America's No. 1 Smoke Juice used in e-cigarettes around the world, has announced a new strategic endeavor with Republic Tobacco, LP, the nation's largest distributor of roll-your-own and make-your-own tobacco products and accessories.
By joining forces with Republic Tobacco, Johnson Creek Smoke Juice and accessories will soon be available in thousands of outlets throughout the country.
"This is a perfect fit for both of our companies," said Christian Berkey, Johnson Creek's founder and CEO.
Steve Sandman, president of Republic Tobacco agrees. "Both retailers and wholesalers have been waiting for a reputable company to supply this growing category," he said. "Our customers should be very pleased that Republic is stepping into the forefront of the "e" category with such an outstanding producer as Johnson Creek."
Johnson Creek revolutionized the e-smoking industry as the first company in the U.S. to produce and manufacture Smoke Juice for electronic cigarettes. It was also the first company to use child resistant caps, plastic shrink-wrapped banding, and to list ingredients on all bottles. Their facility is ISO 9001:2008 certified, follows strict cGMP's and is OSHA certified yearly. Johnson Creek Enterprises was recognized in 2013 as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in America by Inc. magazine and has been featured in Time magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and Business Week.
"Republic Tobacco has been carefully studying the "e" market for a number of years now, and we finally found the perfect fit for our company, both in terms of reputation and product quality," said Sandman. "Consumers in the "e" category have shown they prefer to make their own "e" product, by selecting their preferred device and their preferred liquid. We believe that this is a new make-your-own product for consumers, and now Republic will be able to offer the highest quality product on the market. Through its affiliates, Republic has taken an equity interest in Johnson Creek. Some of Republic's other brands include Top, Job, Gambler, Drum, Largo and Tube Cut.

Throughout 2015, Ireland was bestowed the huge honour and responsibility of co-facilitating discussions between world leaders in an effort to reach consensus on sustainable development goals. These intergovernmental negotiations culminated in a global document containing 17 sustainable development goals and 169 targets: Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Sustainable Development Goals (STGs), which all UN member states have agreed to achieve by 2030, was formally adopted by world leaders in September 2015.
This year, World Breastfeeding Week serves to raise awareness of the STGs through it's theme "Breastfeeding: A key to Sustainable Development".
Well-established evidence shows that breastfeeding is one of the smartest investments that countries can make to ensure a healthy, equitable and sustainable future. In low-, middle- and high-income countries alike, the benefits for individuals and families include ending preventable child deaths and improving health, educational attainment, and productivity. Stronger breastfeeding policies and programmes are essential to driving progress in reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health— and they directly support the achievement of numerous Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Strategy for Women's Children's and Adolescents' Health. (Breastfeeding: A Key To Sustainable Development, Alive & Thrive)
Dr. Amal Omer-Salim, WABA's Co-Executive Director said, "Celebrations should mark on-going efforts to learn from achievements and overcome challenges. The annual WBW celebration should be more than a week-long effort. By focusing on a broader context, longer time frame and practical yet ambitious goals, we can create sustainable and engaging campaigns. Let us campaign for a generation!"
Research from the recently published Lancet Breastfeeding Series, underscored the importance of improving breastfeeding practices in driving progress towards achieving the STGs. It's second paper, Why invest, and what it will take to improve breastfeeding practices? found that despite the positive impact that breastfeeding has on health and the global economy, in the absence of investment and national policies, women lack the necessary supports they need to sustain breastfeeding. Obstacles to increasing breastfeeding include:
- Gaps in knowledge among healthcare providers that leave women without access to accurate information or support; and
- Lack of strong support systems among family and community, as well as cultural traditions unsupportive of breastfeeding.
Ireland has an opportunity to continue the unique role it played in reaching STG consensus. World Breastfeeding Week 2016 runs from August 1-7 and provides a platform to link breastfeeding to sustainability, economic growth and national health. As our government develops budgets and action plans to achieve the STG targets by 2030, it is imperative that breastfeeding is recognised and prioritised as a powerful intervention that benefits not just child health, but many of the Sustainable Development Goals.

There are many consequences traffic tickets can have for drivers. For some violations, points are put onto a person's license. What is the significance of getting such points? Well, for one, having too many points on your license can trigger a license suspension here in Ohio.
Specifically, 12 points is the threshold for a license suspension in the state. In counting how many points a driver has for the sake of determining if he or she has hit this threshold, only the points accrued in the past two years are counted.
How long is a license suspension for having too many points on your license? It is generally six months.
What does a person have to do to get their license reinstated following such a suspension? The requirements for reinstatement include: a reinstatement fee, a remedial driving course, a driver license exam and a certificate of insurance.
So, there are significant consequences to hitting the 12-point threshold here in Ohio. Given this, when a person is accused of a traffic violation in the state, what point implications the violation would have for their license matters greatly. Some violations don't carry points. Those that do have points vary in how many points are connected to them.
Skilled traffic ticket defense attorneys can help individuals accused of traffic violations here in Ohio understand what sorts of consequences the ticket could have for them, including point-related consequences. They can also help such individuals understand what options they have for protecting what's important to them, including their driver's license.

Like our founder, St. Francis, we welcome and enjoy our animal friends. As you can read below, St. Francis was not the only one to have a special connection with God's creatures. All wildlife photos taken at Franciscan Retreats and Spirituality Center in Prior Lake
There is the story that when the Queen of Sheba came to test King Solomon, she brought two identical flower bouquets, one real, the other fake. So bent was she on outwitting the king, that she had spared no expense in making the false bouquet exactly the same as the real one. Realizing that there was no way he could possibly tell the two apart, Solomon watched with interest as a bee buzzed into the palace room. The tiny creature flew over to the bouquets, and with little hesitation selected one. Solomon, wisely, selected the same bouquet.
Born about 656, St. Hubert was a member of royalty who dismissed much of his religion for his own interests. One Good Friday he was out hunting, despite his wife's promptings to join her at church. As he was chasing after a large buck, he was shocked when the creature turned, and there, between its antlers was a crucifix, with Our Lord admonishing him, and telling him to change his ways. He did, and is now, the patron saint of hunters.
Here are our Thanksgiving Day visitors. Although, interestingly enough, turkey was not served on the first Thanksgiving. That did not come until much later. Certain popular cookbooks are thought to have helped the trend come into being. Another thing to be thankful for.
It is said, that when the crowds refused to listen to St. Anthony preach, he turned to the sea and spoke God's word to the attentive fish and birds.
This is the day the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad!
Psalm 118:24
This is not a story about a turtle. Unfortunately, we don't have one at the time being. Instead, this is the story of St. Martin de Porres, a Dominican brother from Peru, 1579 – 1639, and the mice. It seems, the Dominican's Sacristy had become overrun with hungry vermin, who seemed to find alter linens and vestments a most satisfying meal. As something needed to be done, the Father Prior announced that they were going to have to exterminate the pests. To this, Br. Martin protested, and requested permission to try and take care of the problem himself. Talking to the mice, he explained the situation, and told them the barn would be the more suitable place for them. Then, like the Pied Piper, he lead the rodents to their new home, where he was sure to feed them every day.
And of course, a story about St. Francis. This one will be about the good saint and the wolf of Gubbio. A rather large, and nasty wolf had been bothering the good people of Gubbio. It was a cunning creature, and all the townspeople were afraid of it. "We need to get rid of this wolf!" was the general consensus. Yet, there was no one to go after the vicious creature. Finally, someone suggested they invite St. Francis to come and see about the wolf. Come and see the holy Friar did, and when he came back to the towns people, it was with the big wolf at his side. After that, the wolf was practically the pet of Gubbio.
