|Nature Table in Paynes Grey/Rose
Hello there, how are you? All is well here, the season is coming in and we're getting snuggly with it.
I love St Judes fabrics, their workshop is fairly near us in Norfolk and I knew I wanted more of their prints in my home, the white walls begged for it. Plus our living room is a big space and needed more mood lighting to open up the corners, to stop it feeling a bit like a doctors waiting room, so I popped along to Habitat and bought some new lamp stands, and knew that I wanted some St Judes shades.
Revill, Revill is run by Karen Revill, who makes bespoke lampshades using gorgeous fabrics sourced from makers in the UK, including pretty much the full range of St Judes fabrics. I chose 2 colourways of the Nature's Table design and one of the Hedgerow, both designed by Angie Lewin, because I like to mix and match and I'm rubbish at making decisions. I needed a bespoke size for one of the shades and that was no trouble for Karen. In fact, nothing seemed any trouble, her contact was great and the shades were with me way earlier than I had expected. Nice service Karen!
PS When you buy new lamps, prepare to get the duster out, they light up corners you never looked at before, and freak the spiders out.
PPS How the frickin frack do you take decent pictures of lighting? I think it may require more lighting, apologies for crappy pics.

bigbasket, India's largest online supermarket crossed the 10 million mark in delivered customer orders recently. Simultaneously, it also delivered more than 1 million orders in the month of May. bigbasket currently operates in 25 cities across India, servicing to up to 2.5 million registered customers. With over 20000 products, they offer a wide range of products, which include fruits and vegetables, staples, household, personal care, imported and gourmet, which are delivered to the customers' doorstep at a click of a button. The company delivers up to 40,000 orders a day and has plans to more than triple the number by next year.
Grocery business in India is a 400 billion dollar addressable market of which e-grocery accounts for only 0.1%. bigbasket continues to scale at a time when many start-ups are cutting down on their operating costs and shutting operations in many geographical locations.
"We are heavily focused on constantly enhancing customer satisfaction. Our three guarantees of being on time – every time, delivery of every item ordered and a no questions asked return policy reassures customers of our commitment to them and drives high-performance benchmarks internally. We operate at some of the best service metrics in the world with 99.4% order accuracy and 99% on time delivery," said K B Nagaraju, CEO.
Some customers, like Mr. Chandrashekhar, confess that they were initially apprehensive about the idea of buying fruits and vegetables online. "Their guarantees made me try it out, and it worked well. We love their 'no questions asked return policy', we can return anything we don't like and they replace it for us, it makes shopping safe and easy," he added.
bigbasket is known to have seen a surge in demand ever since they roped Shah Rukh Khan as their brand ambassador.
Mrs. Gayatri Sirisha, a working mother and a customer of bigbasket said, "I recently moved into the city and saw their ads, they got it delivered in 60 minutes, and it was easier than having to drive through unknown traffic or stand in long queues."
bigbasket delivers in two ways – one from where customers can choose from four delivery slots in day and second is an express where customers get their daily items within 120 minutes. They recently launched a specialty store marketplace service, which caters to those customers who tend to prefer to buy certain products from a local shop or a particular brand.
To mark their growth and in the spirit of world environmental day, bigbasket will be soon be sending a sapling to welcome and delight all their new customers.

Project F
Role of matrix architectureOur research seeks to better understand how mechanical factors and their interaction with scaffold/matrix design parameters influence cellular activity in biomimetic matrices. The goal is to obtain the following: (1) a correlation between fabrication technique, materials property, and cellular-response and, (2) to ascertain if nanofibrous scaffolds impact cellular orientation, ultrastructure of deposited collagen and biosynthetic activity of seeded chondrocytes. Development of a scaffold with aligned nano- or sub-micron fibers that can support chondrogenesis would be a significant advancement not only in terms of the quantity of neocartilage produced, but also in terms of the ability of that tissue to integrate with the host matrix.
My research has included the evaluation of the material and cell-responsive property of nanofibrillar scaffolds made from natural polymers (chitosan and gelatin) and blends of natural and synthetic polymers (PLA grafted chitosan) [Subramanian et al., J.Biomat.Sci.Polymer Ed. 1-3, 2005 and Skotak et al., Biomacromolecules, 9(7), 1902-1908,2008]. In the context of tissue engineering the effect of micro-topography as afforded by scaffold morphology is an important design parameter. Specifically, the technique of electrospinning has extensively been employed to generate scaffolds with nanoscale topography and there are abundant examples in the literature on the ability of nanofibrous scaffolds to support cell growth and proliferation. However, the mechanisms by which cells adapt and respond to nanoscale topography remains unclear and is thus worthy of investigation.
In our work, we have varied the nanoscale topography by varying the fiber diameter and we have evaluated the effect of fiber diameter on gene regulation and biosynthetic activity of chondrocytes on nanofibrous scaffolds. To assess the ability of the nanofibrous scaffolds to permit or promote chondrogenic redifferentiation, chondrogenesis was assessed by RT-PCR for cartilage-specific gene markers and expression was normalized to GADPH, a housekeeping gene. We have analyzed the expression of select cartilage specific genes at day 14 of human articular chondrocytes cultured on TCP, on scaffolds prepared by freeze-drying and lyophilization and chitosan nanofibrous (NF) scaffolds (shown in figure 1). The nanofibrous scaffolds were able to sustain differentiation on the basis of the mRNA expression levels of collagen type II and aggrecans (GAG). These preliminary results indicate that biological activities of chondrocytes are at least partially dependent on the architecture of the scaffolds, and that nanofibrous chitosan scaffolds may act as biologically preferred substrates.
In a parallel project, hybrid- or grafted-polymeric systems like PLA-grafted chitosan fibers were developed, in an effort to find a substrate with tunable biomaterial properties [Skotak et al., Biomacromolecules, 9(7), 1902-1908,2008]. This general synthetic route rendered functionalized chitosan soluble in a broad range of organic solvents, facilitating formation of ultrafine fibers via electrospinning. Electrospun L-lactide modified chitosan fibers are promising, as a scaffolding material for tissue engineering applications.
In a separate experiment, creep indentation tests were conducted to determine the aggregate modulus, shear modulus, and permeability of hydrated seeded scaffolds at various cultures' time periods and reported in Table 1. As noted in Table 1, a wide variability was observed; however, values in the range of articular cartilage were also noted. The overall favorable response of chondrocytes to the nanofibrous scaffolds indicates they are promising candidates for further studies on an in-vitro cartilage model and as substrates for the cell expansion application in the field of cartilage regenerative medicine (Figure-2).

PORTLAND, Ore. – Freshman quarterback Ian Kolste threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns, while Drew Clausen caught two of those scores, to lead visiting Whitworth to a 61-28 win over Lewis & Clark in the Northwest Conference football finale for both schools on Saturday at Griswold Stadium.
The Pirates finish 4-6 overall and 2-4 in the NWC and give head coach John Tully his 100th victory in his 19th season at Whitworth. The Pioneers end the season 1-8, 1-5.
After Lewis & Clark grabbed a 14-10 lead early in the second quarter, Whitworth ran off 51 straight points over the next two and a half quarters to turn a potential close game into a rout.
Kolste completed 22 of 27 passes for 314 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in place of regular starter Bryan Peterson. Kolste's favorite target was Clausen, who hauled in nine passes for 121 yards and two scores.
But Whitworth was equally effective on the ground, running for 212 yards and five rushing touchdowns. Griffen Hare led a running back-by-committee attack with 49 yards and three touchdowns on 14 attempts. Duke Degaetano added 45 yards on five carries, Alfonso Miranda had 32 yards and a score. Kolste finished with a net of 40 rushing yards.
Keith Welch, the Pioneers' record-setting QB, finished his career with another strong performance. He completed 23 of 42 passes for 329 yards with four touchdowns. But he was intercepted three times and two of his touchdown passes came in the final seven minutes of the game after Whitworth had opened up a 61-14 lead.
The game started rather slowly. After an exchange of possessions, Kyler Gracey's 29-yard field goal gave Whitworth a 3-0 lead with just under six minutes left in the first quarter.
Then the fireworks started. Welch hit Andrew Frisina for a 30-yard touchdown to put the Pioneers ahead 7-3, but Kolste answered with a 35-yard TD pass to Clausen late in the opening quarter.
Welch found Darrell Nelson for a 16-yard TD pass to give L&C a 14-10 lead with 14:38 to play in the second period. Then Whitworth broke the game open with 31 points before halftime, and it might've been more.
Hare carried in from three yards away to put the Pirates ahead 17-14. Then Whitworth converted an onsides kick. Three minutes later Gracey's field goal attempt from 41 yards was just short. But L&C fumbled on the very next play and Kolste hit Devon Lind for a 28-yard touchdown.
The Pioneers drove inside the Whitworth 40 before punting. Whitworth answered with an 87-yard drive, its longest of the day, in only three plays. Kolste sprinted 51 yards on the second play, setting up Hare's 20 yard TD run to extend the lead to 31-14.
Then Casey Monahan intercepted Welch on the very next play, setting up Gracey's 36 yard field goal with only 29 seconds in the half.
It looked like Whitworth would take that 34-14 lead into the locker rooms. But L&C fumbled the kickoff, recovered by Sam Schoesler at the 16 yard line. Kolste lobbed a 16-yard TD pass to Clausen to finally end the first half 41-14 in Whitworth's favor.
Hare added his third TD, a two-yard run, in the third quarter. Miranda ran in from three yards away early in the fourth quarter. And backup QB Michael McCune scored on an eight yard run with 11:31 left to give Whitworth the 61-14 lead.
Despite the lopsided score, Welch remained in the game and went on to throw touchdown passes to Curtis Shirey (22 yards) and Nelson (one yard) in the final seven minutes.
Far more impactful than the difference in total yards, which Whitworth led 529-444, was the difference in turnovers. The opportunistic Pirate defense took away three interceptions and three fumbles for a 6-1 advantage.
Fernando Noriega had nine tackles in his final game as a Pirate. He also forced a fumble. Monahan finished with two interceptions to raise his NWC-leading season total to seven.

This dress was purchased in Orange County, California. I wore it in my wedding in November (2013) and loved it! This is an ivory silk organza dress with trumpet skirt.
I loved the dress and got many compliments on how elegant and stunning it is. It makes a statement!
I am 5'9", 135 pounds. I had the dress altered so that I could wear flats. Normally with sizes, I wear a size 4 - 6 depending on the brand I am buying. When I was having it fitted, the tailor suggested a petticoat so that it doesn't create a line between your legs when walking. Although I didn't love the idea, it made a huge difference for the look when walking down the aisle, and I did not think it altered the look at all. The petticoat cost me $99, but I will sell it for $50. I also have the belt I wore for sale as well for $75. I am posting these separately but if you are interested in either of those I will sell them for a discounted price.
I had the dress cleaned with a cleaner who cleans many many wedding dresses. They did a fabulous job. Please let me know if you have questions! The first photo is the model from Matthew Christopher's website, and the 2nd 2 are from my wedding to see a non-model size person wearing the dress :)

(Reuters) - Environmental protection of Sydney's beaches and harbor has created a cleaner marine environment, but is attracting sharks closer to shore chasing fish, say marine experts, after two shark attacks in two days.
Following are points on avoiding or surviving a shark attack:
* Don't swim in a known shark feeding area, such as the estuary of a river, creek or a nearby beach or harbor.
* Don't swim at dawn or dusk, when sharks normally feed. Don't swim amongst schools of fish, particularly swarming bait fish which are a favorite of sharks, or a colony of seals.
* If you do find yourself in the water with a shark, its best to get out as quickly, but as quietly as you can. Don't panic. Panicking and thrashing the water will just make the shark think you are a school of fish.
* If exiting the water is not an option, then crowd together or at least try and make yourself look big. You may intimidate the shark and it might back off. Remember this is the food chain, so size and aggression often win.
* Don't give up, FIGHT!!! Three of the Australians bitten since January survived because they or their rescuer punched the shark in the head. Sharks are sensitive around the eyes, gills and nose and divers who routinely swim with sharks use small batons to prod off sharks if they get too close.
* Even if you find yourself inside the shark, keep on fighting! An Australian abalone diver was swallowed head first up to his chest by a Great White in 2007, but kept punching and poking the shark in the eye until it let him go.
He survived because he was wearing a lead vest which prevented the shark's bite penetrating his chest and because his punching forced the shark to release its bite.

Trump withdraws the U.S from UNESCO over anti-Israel bias accusations
Oct 12, 2017 World 2138 By Collins Kelechi
- Trump withdraws the U.S from UNESCO over anti-Israel bias accusations.
- Withdrawal reflects U.S. concerns over UNESCO and the need for reforms.
- UNESCO Director-General expresses disappointment over the withdrawal and calls it a loss to the United Nations family.
The United States has announced its withdrawal from the The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) after accusing the U.N.
agency of displaying anti-Israel bias and adding Palestine to its members.
"This decision was not taken lightly, and reflects U.S. concerns with mounting arrears at UNESCO, the need for fundamental reform in the organization, and continuing anti-Israel bias," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement.
The organization, which employs around 2,000 people worldwide, most of them based in Paris, has long been the object of criticism over its use of resources and resolutions that have been perceived by Israel and other countries as biased.
Director-General Irina Bokova expressed disappointment at the U.S. decision.
"At the time when conflicts continue to tear apart societies across the world, it is deeply regrettable for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations agency promoting education for peace and protecting culture under attack," she said.
"This is a loss to the United Nations family. This is a loss for multilateralism."

Those fun folk in Cincinnati are back spending more tithe money for a return that is infinitesimal. UCG is bragging about a recent campaign in Nashville to promote it's esoteric beliefs. Out of the 1,792,649 in the Nashville metropolitan area and 602,000 in the city itself, UCG is ecstatic that they had 45 people attend their recent campaign.
The Personal Appearance Campaign (PAC) in Nashville, Tennessee, last week drew 45 new guests who responded to invitations to attend via ads in Beyond Today (BT) magazine, BT subscriber letters, online advertising and Pandora radio ads. These campaigns provide a compelling and powerful way to preach the gospel because they are live and in-person. We come in direct contact with the public and can interact with them. It provides a safe way for people to approach us.People are looking for a "safe" way to get in contact with a church? Are they scared of being seen reading cult material or what?
Yep, thats effectively putting tithe money into use for the best return.

The Federal Election Commission, the publics window into campaign finance, is gradually shifting its IT infrastructure to a virtualized system of services managed remotely. In a five-year contract just signed with Savvis Federal Systems, the FEC will begin the migration with some of its server functions.
Until now, the FEC owned an FTP server and a mail relay server, but the new contract with Savvis turns these capabilities into utilities, meaning that the FECs IT team will no longer have to worry about managing and upgrading the hardware.
"Now we will get FTP services from Savvis, and therefore we wont have an FTP server sitting around depreciating," said Jim Allen, infrastructure branch manager in the Information Technology Division at the FEC. "We dont have to worry about the obsolescence of a particular piece of equipment. Were talking at this point about two machines—its somewhat minimal, but its a new model for us."
The contract is valued at $4,487,234, according to Savvis.
Over the next few months, the FEC plans to add a number of new features to its Web site to make it easier to track campaign contributions. A more flexible and creative database will facilitate searches about candidate information, and a map application will illustrate where donations are coming from, Allen said.
"It will be easier under this virtualization model to add the necessary horse power to accomplish the upcoming changes we will have for the user," he said.
At this initial stage, the utility model will not likely reduce the costs of the services, Allen said. "I think right now theres probably little savings for us. The idea of it as we move forward is that it would provide a great savings in terms of us not having various pieces of hardware sitting around," He said.
In addition to server technologies, the virtualized service offerings from Savvis include storage and managed security. The choice of which services are optimized by the utility model must factor in the life cycle of a particular piece of hardware, and also the culture of an organizations data management, said Don Teague, vice president of Savvis Federal Systems. For example, some organizations will be less inclined to shift their security functions to an outside provider.
"Certain applications have unique or proprietary security measures," Teague said. "The FEC is not jumping into utility with both feet."
In the private sector, Savvis has seen growing interest in the utility model in the retail, health care and financial sectors, Teague said. "We take the complexity out of their IT infrastructure. We allow a company to concentrate on what gives them a competitive advantage."

Do you ever have those moments where you do some really awesome nail art that you're really proud of one one hand and just know you're not going to be able to recreate it well on the other? Yeah, this was one of those! I took inspiration for these from Chalkboard Nails' Functional Christmas Lights and for this decided to stray away from the Christmas colours I've been sticking to at the mo! I did a base of Revlon-Minted and then topped it with my Iconic Effect-Extreme Holo Topcoat...because I couldn't resist using it again haha! I did the "string" with my black Barry M nail art pen and drew "bulbs" with the white to provide a good base for my slightly jelly like glow in the dark polishes. I used BK Polishes in 05, 06 and 10 to colour them in. On my thumb I did a sort of Christmas tree with the lights which I really like. Then it came to my right hand. My Barry M pens started playing up and the bulbs all came out different sizes and shapes. I did attempt the tree to match but it just wasn't playing so I gave up in the end, haha! Ah well, can't have it all ey?
I feel I should warn you that my camera was a little dazzled by the holoyness of these, poor thing, so these are a little blurry around the edges.
While one hand is definitely better than the other, I do really like these! And look, they really glow:
GITD nail varnish makes me so happy, which is good because I had crappy news today so I needed a pick me up!
Anyway, let's see Rara's decorations too!
I had absolutely no idea how to do decorations...so I kind of cheated. I decided to use a new polish from a TarasTalons goodie bag called Paper Chains. I layered it over the top of Avon-Forget-Me-Not Blue. Paper Chain is a beautiful many coloured glitter and makes me happy! To try to match it I painted my other nails with Layla-Mermaid Spell (Holographic effect) and attempted paper chains with my nail pens from Paperchase. Not sure you could tell what they are unless I had already told you though!
Bring on Christmas Animals!!!!
I actually really like those paperchains, they're so colourful, and that glitter is loooovely! There you go, lots of holoy goodness and pretty decorations. Here's a reminder of the rest of the prompts, can't believe we're half way through already!
Don't forget to check out the inlinkz for some more fabulous 'decorations' manis!

Gulf Power will soon begin a five-year, $83 million effort to upgrade downtown Pensacola's aging power grid, the company announced Thursday.
Much of the infrastructure that delivers power to downtown Pensacola dates to the 1940s. Beginning early this year, Gulf Power will partner with the City of Pensacola to modernize the downtown power grid, improving reliability and redundancy and allowing capacity to be increased as the area grows.
"These projects are part of Gulf Power's five-year program to replace and upgrade systems to better serve our customers in the downtown area," said Gulf Power spokesman Rick DelaHaya. "Although the power network has been meticulously maintained over the years, it is 70 years old, and the time has come to replace outdated equipment and update the system. These upgrades will improve reliability through updated smart grid monitoring devices that can speed up power restoration."
The new project comes after Gulf Power crews worked last summer to replace and consolidate downtown's above-ground utility poles. A number of overhead line crossings and transformers were also removed in a bid to improve the aesthetics of the area.
"The key to keeping reliability high for customers is investing in technology, maintenance and upgrades," DelaHaya added. "Making sure our customers can count on us for reliable energy is very important, and the investments we continue to make in our system are paying off."
In a statement, Gulf Power touted more that $225 million the company has invested in infrastructure upgrades across the region. The upgrades have improved reliability for the utility's 460,000 customers by almost 20 percent since 2010, the company said, adding that Gulf Power customers are enjoying fewer outages than in any time in recent history.
"The goal is to make the electric grid system more resilient, more fault-tolerant and durations of outages shorter, while providing a system of redundancies," DelaHaya said.
Specifically, some of the upgrades across the company's service area have included the installation of so-called "smart technology" such as smart, self-healing equipment, and replacing wooden transmission structures with concrete poles and wooden cross arms with steel arms.
"The existing systems downtown have served the area well for many years," said DelaHaya. "We are upgrading the system and ushering in a new era of reliability and redundancies to continue to provide safe, reliable service to area homes and businesses."

After working with a local cleaning company of a friend of a friend, I ended up producing a new logo and color scheme which we used on some business cards, brochures and website. I made the website with WordPress and the Genesis framework. There is still more work to do, but it definitely is a step up from the previous logo that I can only assume was maid in Microsoft Word. Oh and I did the photography!

A burglar is thought to have stolen a stillborn baby's ashes after mistaking the casket they were in for a jewellery box.
The brazen criminal took the small white casket containing the remains of Oliver Ryan McElligott during a raid at a home in Archway, north London, in February.
The small white box was clearly marked with the baby boy's name and the date of his death, 19th July 2011. But the Metropolitan Police Service believes the burglar may have mistaken it for a jewellery box.
Devestated Parents Amanda Ryan and her partner Daniel McElligott's were left distressed by the remorseless theft, which also saw items of jewellery, laptops and mobile phones taken, and are now appealing for the return of the ashes.
Investigating officer DC Ursula Surgenor of Camden CID said: "The victims have been left devastated by the loss of their baby's ashes and we are appealing for any information or assistance from members of the public to bring about its return and to catch those responsible.
"The burglary took place between 3pm and 5pm on Thursday, 6 February, and we would like to hear from anyone who may have noticed anything or seen anyone acting suspiciously during this time, at this location. We would also like to hear from anyone who may have come across or seen a box matching the description to contact us."
Anyone with information is urged to call 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

My nephew is not shy with anyone. Stranger is not in his vocabulary.
I was talking with my brother and he told me that my nephew, if he woke up and there was a random person on the couch, he would ask them for milk. It's cute when he tells it because he just wants milk so bad that he'll ask the person on the couch. And, while hearing the story, we all know that the person on a couch is a friend. But my nephew didn't know who it was at the time. This struck as odd to me.
It's very scary to think about how sociable my nephew is. While, when you're older it's a shining aspect, when your a little kid, it's different. It makes a person vulnerable. He will give anyone and everyone a hug and a kiss. It sure does make a person feel special when they haven't seen him in so long. It's amazing that he remembers! But I don't think he actually does remember. He just wants everyone to feel loved and he wants to know that anyone can love him. Atleast this is what I think.
It truly is scary to think that if he were to ever get lost, he would have no trouble adapting to a stranger or their family. Nobody would ever notice that he wasn't their kid because he would just act so conformed to it.
So I want to know how he got this way. My brother and his girlfriend are very loving, and my nephew is the only child. But I don't think being an only child would make him love everybody. I think it would do the exact opposite; only wanting their mom or dad. But that is certainly not the case here. So if we want to look at nature vs. nurture, I don't believe that we can go with nurture. Something had to of happened in the genetics. My brother and his girlfriend's kindness could've gone overload in him, making a new kind of comfortability and conformness.
Then again, I guess there is a reason that the whole nature vs. nurture debate is so big. Because, thinking back, I remember them being, and still being, in a very small house with many many animals. And when I say many, it doesn't come close to how many animals they have. So obviously my nephew had to adapt to all the new animals coming into his home. He absolutely loved naming them, and eventually became best friends with all of them. So maybe it is his surroundings that made him this way..
I feel like nothing can be rested on sole environment. Or, in the same note, nothing can be rested on sole genetics. I do think it is very interesting, though, how many strong facts can be presented to both sides of most nature vs nurture debates.
With this specific one, I don't think a study has been done. But it is a very personal topic, seeing how it worried me and still does worry me.
If there even was a study to be done, it would be quite rare to find subjects for it. I'm sure there would be quite a debate about it, and my guess is that they would find the "nurture" aspect to be the most prevelent. In any case, arguably, if something is "nurture" instead of "nature", it is more likely to be reversed. But in my nephews case, this may not be true. He's already been in and out of his learning stage. I'm afraid that the only change that could occur would be whenever he gets to high school and becomes shy. I don't see that happening with this little guy! But in the world of psychology, I guess you never know.
Don't Talk to Strangers
My nephew is not shy with anyone. Stranger is not in his vocabulary.

I'm starting to work now on a project where activities are framed according to the Open Archival Information Systems (OAIS) Reference Model. I've heard and read about OAIS before, but I haven't spent much time thinking about how it relates to some of my daily activities. The OAIS is a conceptual model--it's not a system for storing archival information; rather, it's a high-level description of the functions of such a system. Our challenge is to develop systems that provide the services described in the model. As I've said before, I'm a "big-picture" kind of person. But it's still difficult sometimes to transform the ideas from a high-level description like OAIS into practice. I'm hoping I can rise to the challenge and develop good practical products that clearly relate to the overall goal.
I belive this problem of translating between the conceptual to the practical is one of the main barriers to FRBR adoption. I think many people misunderstand that FRBR is a conceptual model, not a metadata model, not a system design. And even for those that do, it's a challenge to think theoretically about how that model would be implemented in a production environment. Most FRBR discussion today revolves around how things would look, should they be built. The more implementations we build, the more convincing the argument for its benefits will be.
Perhaps my thoughts on the DC Abstract Model recently are related to this issue as well. Perhaps I'm slightly uncomfortable with the abstract model because it was released (and developed?) so long after DC itself. Or perhaps I'm uncomfortable because I don't yet have a good understanding of how the abstract model translates to use of the schema.

Latitude at Vivanta by Taj Pune had a Mediterranean food festival. The restaurant is spacious with modern sophisticated lighting & an open kitchen setting the stage for the meal to follow.
The entire kitchen is overseen by the Executive Chef Sachin Joshi . The cold mezze comprised of Hummus which was nice & creamy, Labneh Moutawmeh a hung curd & sundried mint dip which was refreshing & Mutable a Syrian roasted brinjal dip which was spot on smoky.
The hot mezze had Falafel which were light & not too greasy while the Panco crusted chicken was a big hit as it was crispy with subtle seasoning.
The show stoppers hands down would have to be both the mains Harrisa dusted fish with cauliflower puree & salsified pomegranate the fish was moist & succulent, while the cauliflower puree was mild, a complete contrast to the surprise element of the pomegranate, juicy sweetness gave way to heat from the chilli a total burst of flavours on the palate. The second main of Sheesh Taouk was chargrilled chunks of chicken in a creamy flavourful sauce which went down a treat with the cilantro rice.
|Cold Mezze
Another surprise was the dessert the Tiramisu true to its name really needed no hesitation in being picked up . while the Baklava though comprising of a generous portion of nuts was a tad bit dry.

American Public Health Association (APHA)
Courts in Rhode Island rarely require abusers to turn in their firearms, even when orders prohibit them from possessing firearms under federal law and there is evidence they pose a lethal risk to victims.
Researchers from Everytown for Gun Safety examined 1,609 case files of protective orders filed in Rhode Island Family and District courts from 2012-2014.
- Whether there were indications that a gun was present;
- Whether there were aspects of the abuse, such as a history of strangulation, that are linked to a higher risk of homicide;
- Whether the order prohibited the abuser from buying or possessing firearms under federal law; and
- Whether the court ordered the abuser to turn in their firearms.
Results showed that 23 percent of cases where protective orders were filed indicated a risk of firearm use, and in 39 percent of cases, victims reported at least one factor linked to a higher risk of homicide.
In 72 percent of cases, the abuser was prohibited from possessing a firearm by federal law.
However, Rhode Island courts only required abusers to turn in their guns in 5 percent of cases.
"In Rhode Island, domestic abusers are rarely required to turn in their firearms -- even when they are federally prohibited from possessing them," said researcher Sarah Tofte.
"Addressing this gap in the state's law could help prevent risk of gun violence to potential abuse victims."
This research was presented at the American Public Health Association's 2016 Annual Meeting and Expo in Denver.

Salix chaenomeloides commonly known as Giant Pussy Willow also known as Japanese Pussy Willow. It is native to Japan, Korea and China. This is a deciduous, ornamental willow that grown for its large dusky-pink or white catkins. It is easy to see how these catkins raise the bar for flower arrangements. It blooms in spring. It is a large shrub that grown 4-10 m (13-33 ft) in height; light brown new growth; attractive large oblong leaves which start reddish and become yellow-green when larger; vigorous growth habit, with long spreading branches, becoming as wide as it is tall. S. chaenomeloides, biggest show is the bright red-mahogany covering that protects the pussies before they emerge. These bud-scales' combination of size and color is unique in willows, and make the shrub one of the joys of Fall and Winter. Naturally it's grows near the banks of the rivers.
These plants are some of the earliest pollen and nectar sources for our pollinating insects and help them regain their strength after the long winter months. Pussy Willows are easily managed shrubs for border areas in the garden landscape. Once flowering is complete, plants can be pruned to the desired size and shape without disrupting the next season's bloom.

Ontologies for Knowledge Management
Within Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, the term ontologies was coined in the Knowledge Sharing and Reuse Effort, for efficient engineering of (distributed, cooperating) knowledge-based systems. It is not surprising that it soon entered the Knowledge Management (KM) area: Sharing and reuse of personal, group, and organizational knowledge are among the central goals aimed at in most KM projects. In this chapter we introduce the main ideas of KM, as well as the role of and requirements for information technology (IT) in KM. We discuss the potential of ontologies as elements in IT supportfor KM. We characterize their current role in research and practice, derive a working focus for the near future, and conclude with an outlook on trends in KM software and their implications on ontologies.

Some light reading for Fireman Randy
He and his new best rich-guy buddy Henry Merritt Paulson III are preparing to sock the City of Portland's taxpayers with another $85 million (at least!) to build a new minor league baseball stadium and rehash the existing one for "major league" soccer. But before he goes any further with this, Fireman Randy ought to head over here and click around a little. He'll find quite a few statements like this one:
[B]uilding sports stadiums does not make sense as a tool of taxpayer-subsidized economic development. From a state and local perspective, sports stadiums do not create jobs, and, in fact, they use resources that would be better expended elsewhere, such as on building schools and shoring up crumbling infrastructure. Rather, state and local governments compete with each other to lure or retain professional sports teams in a senseless race to the bottom for larger public subsidies subsidized by the federal taxpayer. As a result, not only are other, more important public safety projects ignored, such as repairing structurally deficient bridges and aging water distribution and treatment systems, but granting a federal tax exemption to bonds issued to build these stadiums means more stadiums and more expensive stadiums are being built than if there were no federal subsidy. Furthermore, stadiums are essentially private. Sports teams are privately owned by extremely wealthy individuals. The practice of providing taxpayer subsidies to the building of sports stadiums is a transfer of wealth from the many to the wealthy.The author -- a hard-core Reagan conservative?
Nope -- try Dennis Kucinich.

Mrs. Dash was recently featured in Hungry-Girl's newsletter, Girls Bite Out, as her go to option for salt-free seasonings.
"Let's get one thing straight -- salt-free seasoning blends, like the kinds popularized by Mrs. Dash, are totally cool. They come in countless varieties -- garlic & herb! tomato basil! -- and add loads of flavor without hiking up the sodium count. Here at Hungryland, when someone asks, "What smells amazing?", the answer is frequently, "Chicken with Mrs. Dash!" Mama D also recently launched these new Table Blends, and McCormick has great no-salt options in the Perfect Pinch lineup. There's really no excuse for bland food with this stuff in existence. Stock up so you can make flavorful food in a... dash."

Our Strategy
Engineering is only half of the story.
Sustainable Energy Services International understands that isolated communities need energy to develop and expand their economic base. At the same time, it is our firm view that these isolated networks must be built to a high construction standard in order to survive the often harsh environments in outlying areas in Africa and Afghanistan.
We therefore provide the best solution available. We follow first in class standards for construction and engineering and we don't compromise on the delivery of transmission, distribution or power generation networks. But engineering is only half of the story. The other part is about community buy-in and organisation and we recognise that training and support is as important to long term success as the solution itself.

As Jean-Pierre explained in his earlier posting, this approach helped me to see video with MiniTioune V0.4c on Win10. But MiniTioune was provided with Microsoft DVT decoding filters as shown below in Fig-01.
Fig-01 Newdecode-Mpeg2 graph using MS Video and audio filters as "provided" by the Win10 OS
The problem I saw with using the "Microsoft DTV/DVD video decoder" filters was the my video on MiniTioune was displaying very "jerky" …perhaps only 1 FPS because Windows had not chosen the LAV video decoder filter.
To fix this problem...I followed in the footsteps of F6DZP by "suggesting" that Win10 to use the better LAV filters instead of Microsoft filters. As shown in Fig-02, I suggested LAVfilters to Win10 by adding unconnected LAV decoders into the MiniiTioune GRAPH file called "decode Mpeg2.GRF".
Fig-02 The file called decode Mpeg2.GRF now has additional unconnected LAVfilters for video decode and audio decode as a "suggestion" to Win10.
Finally Minitioune built the desired Graph (NewDecode Mpeg2.grf) using the good LAV decoders as shown in Fig-03. My video was displayed very smoothly now on MiniTioune.

All COM objects implement the IUnknown interface. IUnknown defines three standard methods, of which two are a concern of this article: AddRef() and Release(). When a COM object is created, its "reference count" (the number of objects holding claim to the newly created object) is set to 1. A program never directly deletes these objects; instead, a program calls Release(), which de-increments the reference count. If the reference count reaches 0, the object self-destructs.
The benefit of this is an object will remain in memory only as long as it needs to; the lifetime of an object is managed by its reference count. A programmer cannot accidentally delete an object from memory that another module or portion of the application may be using. Only when the object's reference count goes to 0 (as a result of all involved parties calling Release() on their interface pointers) does the object automatically destroy itself.
This is, sadly, a double-edged sword; by mismanaging reference counts, you can easily get yourself in trouble, and leak memory in a very real way.
Take the following function as an example:
HRESULT StartGraph( IGraphBuilder * pIGraphBuilder )
IMediaControl * pIMediaControl;
hr = pIGraphBuilder->QueryInterface( IID_IMediaControl, ( void ** ) &pIMediaControl );
if( FAILED( hr ) )
return hr;
return pIMediaControl->Run(); // THIS WILL LEAK A REFERENCE COUNT
This is how we would normally start a filter graph in DirectShow. This code technically works, but it has a serious flaw. Because it queries the filter graph manager for the IMediaControl interface, this increments the reference count on pIGraphBuilder. However, when we return, because IMediaControl was declared locally, it goes out of scope without ever being released, thus leaving behind an extra reference count on pIGraphBuilder. The above code is leaking a reference count, which means abandoned COM objects galore!
One way to (sort of) fix the above code would be:
HRESULT StartGraph( IGraphBuilder * pIGraphBuilder )
IMediaControl * pIMediaControl;
HRESULT hr = pIGraphBuilder->QueryInterface( IID_IMediaControl, ( void ** ) &pIMediaControl );
if( FAILED( hr ) )
return hr;
hr = pIMediaControl->Run();
if( FAILED( hr ) )
return hr; // THIS WILL LEAK A REFERENCE COUNT!
// Release our interface....
SAFE_RELEASE( pIMediaControl );
return hr;
There are still major flaws with this code. We successfully release the interface before exiting the function at the end; this will automatically de-increment the reference count on the filter graph manager. However, what if the call to IMediaControl->Run() fails? Again, we leak a reference count because we fail to release pIMediaControl! We successfully queried for the interface, which adds a reference to our Filter Graph Manager, but by exiting before we've called SAFE_RELEASE() we've again leaked a reference count. We could easily add another SAFE_RELEASE() call to the middle return, but consider this: what if this method was 100 lines long? 200 lines long? What if it had elaborate loops or other conditional logic? It becomes easy to miss a release, and the code is visually convoluted by clean-up logic.
The solution to this problem is to use Smart Pointers to manage reference counting. When a COM pointer wrapped with a Smart Pointer goes out of scope, it automatically calls Release(), thus alleviating the pain of manually releasing:
; // For Smart Pointers!
HRESULT StartGraph( IGraphBuilder * pIGraphBuilder )
HRESULT hr = pIGraphBuilder->QueryInterface( IID_IMediaControl, ( void ** ) &pIMediaControl );
if( FAILED( hr ) )
return hr;
return pIMediaControl->Run();
Notice that we don't have to release the pointer at the end of the method; upon going out of scope, the Smart Pointer will automatically call Release().
Alternately, you can also use CComQIPtr (QI = Query Interface) for slightly cleaner code; the above could be written like so:
HRESULT StartGraph( IGraphBuilder * pIGraphBuilder )
pIMediaControl( pIGraphBuilder );
if( !pIMediaControl )
return E_FAIL;
return pIMediaControl->Run();
Either method will work; the second is slightly cleaner but I prefer the former for more accurate HRESULTs.
There are still instances where you'll need to manually release a smart pointer--take the following GetPin() function for example:
// GetPin - returns a pin of the specified direction on the
// specified filter. Note that this will return connected or
// unconnected pins.
HRESULT GetPin( IBaseFilter * pFilter, PIN_DIRECTION PinDir, IPin ** ppPin )
if( ppPin == NULL || pFilter == NULL )
return E_POINTER;
HRESULT hr = pFilter->EnumPins( &pEnum );
if( FAILED( hr ) )
return hr;
hr = pEnum->Next( 1, &pPin, 0 );
while( hr == S_OK )
PIN_DIRECTION ThisPinDirection;
hr = pPin->QueryDirection( &ThisPinDirection );
if( FAILED( hr ) )
return hr;
if( PinDir == ThisPinDirection )
// Found a match. Return the IPin pointer to the caller.
return pPin.CopyTo( ppPin );
// Release the pin for the next time through the loop.
hr = pEnum->Next( 1, &pPin, 0 );
// No more pins. We did not find a match.
if( hr == VFW_E_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC )
return VFW_E_ENUM_OUT_OF_SYNC;
return E_FAIL;
The above function is the same function defined in the DirectShow documentation, with several errors corrected. And, of course, no more sloppy raw COM pointers.
Note the IPin object pPin--because we're enumerating the filter for a pin, we have to manually call pPin.Release() before reusing the object. Also of note is the pPin.CopyTo() call, which is another convenient feature of smart pointers. CopyTo() should be used in the event of copying a smart pointer to a dumb pointer. However, in the above function, since the passed in pPin is either going to be a dereferenced smart pointer (which is, again, a dumb pointer) or a regular dumb pointer, the CopyTo() is appropriate.
One other feature of Smart Pointers is the overloaded assignment operator. Observe:
//Somewhere else
HRESULT CreateFauxFilter()
HRESULT hr = pSomeOtherFilter.CoCreateInstance( CLSID_OfSomeOtherFilter );
if( FAILED( hr ) )
return hr;
// Here, we can use the "=" operator to copy one smart pointer
// to another smart pointer.
pSomeFilter = pSomeOtherFilter;
return hr;
So, pSomeFilter is assigned to pSomeOtherFilter, and when pSomeOtherFilter goes out of scope, it'll clean up any remaining reference counting issues. It's a handy way to only keep around a pointer if we know everything has occurred successfully. A common use of this is to instantiate all of your filter graphs with locally declared smart pointers, and only assign the smart pointers to your member variables at the end of the function.
You may think these are equivalent to the CopyTo() method of a CComPtr, but the assignment operator should only be used when explicitly copying one smart pointer to another. The CopyTo() should be used when copying a smart pointer to a dumb pointer.
Also, be mindful of accidentally mixing smart pointers, dumb pointers, and the assignment operator:
IBaseFilter * pDumbPointer;
pSmartPointer = pDumbPointer; // THIS IS OKAY (sort of)
pDumbPointer = pSmartPointer; // THIS IS VERY, VERY BAD!!
The really nasty thing about the latter assignment is that pDumbPointer will not equal NULL (thus evading many common checks for validity) and subsequent attempt to call any methods on the dumb pointer will result in Very Bad Things™. If you're mixing smart pointers with dumb pointers, consider removing the dumb pointers entirely, as the use of dumb pointers is generally a sign of a greater problem and using both is generally confusing and/or odd.

Carach Angren - Lammendam (NN Promo Reissue 2013)
Here is MY REVIEW for Carach Angren on New Noise Magazine! Remember, I'm not infringing on my own copyrighted reviews!
"Upon the success of the band's recent offering, 2012's Where The Corpses Sink Forever, Season Of Mist with cooperation from the band; decided to reissue the band's early releases and 2008's Lammendam is the start of these reissues. The original artwork and sound of this debut have been faithfully persevered and the quality of the release sounds magnificent. At this point in the band's lifespan one can clearly hear how Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth played a large role in sound discovery for these Dutchmen..."

I'm writing this post in order to inform you about a few things concerning the forthcoming Prog & Roll radio show on the 17th of July.
This is an important show for us for 2 main reasons: First of all, because it will be the 150th broadcast, and furthermore because it will be our last show before the Summer break. After that, we are going to have a 2 month break and we will be back in September.
For those reasons, we are preparing a really special show, including great songs from many different music genres and sub-categories, and some small surprises for our listeners. Further than that, we prepared a game that we are going to play altogether, named as "Prog & Roll Trivia". At the end of the show, the winner of the game will win a copy of the very good CD 'The Finest of Miracles', by the Greek Progressive Rock/Folk band Ciccada, signed by all the members of the band! In my opinion, this is a rather unique and hard to find item, and I hope the winner is going to appreciate it.
So, if you are interested to listen and/or take part in the - usually very active - chatbox, click on the following link on Sunday the 17th at 20.00 UK time.
Just have in mind that Prog & Roll is a live show and the broadcast is mostly in English, but also in Greek as well.
Hope to "see" you there! :-)
Thank you.

You love the green economy and all that it represents. Sustainability…compassion for all living things including people…healthy food…locally-owned businesses…
But when it comes down to it, you still love to be really good at stuff. Well, you've come to the right place. This page is designed to give you a jumpstart on your friends and family when you play GBO Hawaii. 🙂
Let's start with the video that describes the idea of the game:
Now that you get the idea, here's how to play the beginner version of the game, which is where you'll most likely start.
Now…how about some strategy tips!
Start soon. Your businesses are earning dividends every turn (unless the oil industry lobbyists are in that county, in which case you get no dividends). So the earlier you start a business, the more money you'll make in the long run, all else being equal. Thus, be aggressive at the beginning of the game and start a business or two on your first turn if you can. That said…
Start small. When you begin the game, look to start at least one business on your first turn, but if there is a smaller business that requires only 1 or 2 Resource Cards and no permits, for example, a Farmer's Market, an Energy Efficiency Consulting Service, Outdoor Gear Consignment Store, or a CSA, you can start these businesses and not use all of your resources right off the bat. As the game progresses, you'll see that resources become more limited (most of the time), so it's a good idea to start small.
Apply for a permit, even if you don't see an immediate need. Since there is bureaucracy built into the game, you will find that having a permit approved before you actually need it is critical at times. It's a good idea to just go ahead and apply for a permit ($10,000 cost) on the first turn, because you have to wait a turn and then roll a die to see if it gets approved (a 6 roll and your permit is delayed). The businesses available for investment will change next turn as others start businesses, so odds are, there will be something that requires a permit that you'll want to start fairly soon.
Smart use of your resources. Entrepreneur cards can be used as green collar workers, and Green MBA cards can be used as any Human Resource when you're starting a business. But that doesn't mean you should take the first opportunity that presents itself. If you use 3 entrepreneurs to start a business that requires just one entrepreneur and 2 green collar workers, you're not making the best use of your resources. It happens…sometimes it just makes sense, and you want to start that business, but if you can, try to trade those entrepreneurs with other players in a 2-for-1 trade for green collar workers. Odds are, one of the other players may want that specific entrepreneur and wouldn't mind giving up two of the less skilled workers for it.
Bigger investments can be made more accessible. A wind farm or geothermal development or another business that costs $200K or more to start can pull much of your capital and leave you a little cash strapped. The dividends tend to be good, and the eco-credits can be excellent, but if you can cut some $$ off the initial cost, you'll be well on your way to potentially winning the financial part of the game. Look for the Chance Card marked by the word "OPPORTUNITY!" at the top, and use it to invest in bigger businesses. Saving 25% off the investment cost of a large wind farm can put $75K right in your pocket!
Some businesses are better investments than others. Part of your challenge in the game is to start businesses that will help you win the game, simply because they're better investments than the ones started by other players. To identify better investments, think about your Return on Investment (what business-nerds call ROI). If you invest $100K in a business and it pays $10K in dividends, that's a 10% return, right? So look for businesses that produce better financial returns. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, look for businesses that produce a good environmental ROI, too. For instance, the organic food delivery service (CSA) helps you offset two cans of processed "FOOD" imports, and only costs $40K:
Jump on the dumptruck bandwagon. There are more barrels of oil and cans of processed "FOOD" to offset in the game, so if you can earn a few dumptrucks, you may get ahead in that category and win that field with just 2-3 dumptrucks in the whole game. Particularly keep an eye out for salvage businesses that offset two dumptrucks:
Check back in regularly or join our Facebook fan page! We're adding more tips all the time! But for the time being, this should help you get ahead and rub it in when you have the best triple bottom line ROI! 🙂

I came across this image on Pinterest a while back, and it keeps re-inspiring my mind. Such a simple statement, that most of us simply know already in our minds... but one that can be so easily forgotten. I'm going to keep this in the forefront of my mind while working on some changes in my own life I am wanting to create.

We are going to have two little girls running around!
We found out yesterday at my mid-pregnancy ultrasound. This baby is a wiggler (I'm already feeling her move - with some pretty big kicks! - three weeks earlier than I felt Ellie in my last pregnancy), and it was fun to see her moving all around all over the ultrasound screen. We got to see her hands and fingers and her little kicky legs. :)
And it's time for an update with my hyperemesis gravidarum: I'm now almost 19 weeks (over four months pregnant, almost halfway), and I'm finally beginning to feel better. The last two weeks have been awesome. So much less nausea than before, and I've only thrown up once. I'm still on two zofran a day (one less than a couple weeks ago! woot!), and it's finally really getting things under control. I feel pretty good like 95% of the time. (Except my eosinophilic esophagitis has really been acting up lately, but that's a whole 'nother story). So yay! Hopefully the second half of the pregnancy will be much better than the first half. I'm sure I'll be on the zofran the whole time, but I don't mind that one bit. Hurray for modern medicine!
And finally, a belly pic. (I always think these are so awkward to take. That's why I only have two from Ellie's whole pregnancy). Me at 18 weeks:

ThinkProgress reported from the NRA Convention this past weekend. This is our sixth dispatch. See our previous posts here, here, here, here, and here.
Last weekend, ThinkProgress interviewed dozens of NRA members at the NRA's annual conference in Charlotte, NC. While many offered reasonable positions on issues that haven't been widely publicized — such as closing the "terror gap" gun loophole and whether gun owners should be to allowed bring weapons into bars and consume alcohol — the vast majority of NRA members ThinkProgress spoke with echoed the misinformed and extreme anti-Obama rhetoric espoused by right-wing heroes such as Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and other Fox News hosts.
Indeed, right-wing leaders brought their inflammatory rhetoric to this year's conference. NRA favorite Ted Nugent repeatedly claimed that "there's a Marxist in the White House," while Palin and Beck entertained thousands of NRA members with classic anti-Obama one-liners.
PALIN: Don't doubt for a minute that, if they thought they could get away with it, they would ban guns and ban ammunition and gut the Second Amendment.
BECK: The people that we have running the country, these are not Democrats. These are revolutionaries! They are Marxist revolutionaries!
Not surprisingly, many of the NRA's members repeat this right-wing noise. ThinkProgress has compiled a video of some of the more egregious examples of anti-Obama rhetoric taken from interviews at the conference:
NRA MEMBER 1: He'd just as soon get rid of all the guns in the country I'm sure.
NRA MEMBER 2: I think he would try to eliminate the Second Amendment if he could.
NRA MEMBER 3: I think we're headed toward socialism. And I think if that happens we'll be not long after that we'll be headed toward communism.
NRA MEMBER 4: He has no respect for the country, no respect for the Constitution. … I believe he hates the Second Amendment.
NRA MEMBER 5: He's an idiot. … I think that he's anti-American. I think he's trying to destroy our country and turn it into a socialist country.
Watch the video compilation:
The fear campaign has paid off for the gun industry. Since Obama took office, gun and ammunition sales have skyrocketed.
And while Attorney General Eric Holder has said he would seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban — a move that Americans overwhelmingly support — the White House has said it's not looking to push the issue. Obama has said repeatedly that he believes in the Second Amendment, and has no intention of taking away anyone's guns. "I continue to believe that we can respect and honor the Second Amendment rights in our Constitution," he said last year, "the rights of sportsmen and hunters and homeowners who want to keep their families safe to lawfully bear arms, while dealing with assault weapons that…are helping to fuel extraordinary violence."
