The inspiration for the artwork behind this round is the population of orcas that have taken up residence in the Straits of Gibraltar. The bluefin tuna conduct a major migration into and out of the Mediterranean Sea through Gibraltar, where they doubtlessly swim with the orcas.
The front side shows the beloved Orca whale as it maneuvers through the ocean, having just dived beneath the surface. It is flanked on each side by a group of Bluefin Tuna while rays of light shine through the water. The unmistakable Guy Harvey signature appears below the Orca. Around the outer rim, which features a proof-like finish, the legend "ORCA" runs along the top rim, with "GIBRALTAR QUICK STEP" appearing at the bottom rim. The Guy Harvey trademark is found against the left rim, while "Established 1986" is inscribed along the right rim.
The design on the back side of the round features a larger representation of Guy Harvey's famous signature in larger text. It is overlaid on top of a scene of the ocean water flowing against a rocky shore. "© Guy Harvey, Inc." is placed against the rim to the left, followed by the year-date "2016" at the bottom rim. The technical specifications for the weight and purity "One Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver"are inscribed along the rim to the right. The edge is reeded.
The original artwork and line of apparel credited to Dr. Guy Harvey has become an international phenomenon for anglers and sea-lovers of all kinds. These 1-ounce silver rounds make great gifts and feature the amazing quality of proof-like surfaces. Whether you are interested in adding to your collection of Guy Harvey products, are a fan of naturalistic realism in art, or are simply looking for an interesting piece of silver at a great price, pick up the 2016 Guy Harvey© Orca 1 oz Silver Proof Like Round today!

29 ways to use lemon essential oil that everyone needs to know
Posted on August 14, 2017
I just purchased 100% pure lemon essential oil from Saje Wellness this weekend and I've been doing research on how I can use it. Turns out, it's amazing and can do pretty much anything! Everyone should have a bottle of lemon essential oil handy.
Be careful
- Not all oils are the same quality. There aren't a lot of industry standards or regulation on terms such as "natural" or "pure". Even if a bottle says 100% pure essential oils, it could mean that it's made with pure essential oil but mixed with other ingredients. If you are planning to ingest essential oils, make sure you buy from a reputable brand!
- If putting lemon essential oils on skin, avoid contact with direct sunlight for 12+ hours after use.
- Always test for skin sensitivity and use on the feet when possible.
- Excessive use of any oil can lead to skin sensitization.
- I have not tested all of these methods yet so please use caution when following instructions.
9 skincare uses for lemon essential oil
- Face-wash – Lemon essential oil can help improve your complexion and soften skin by deeply nourishing. Mix baking soda and honey with a few drops of lemon essential oil for a natural acne free face wash. Or mix 2 drops of lemon oil with 8-10 drops of coconut oil. Mix and apply to face, let dry for 20 minutes and then wash skin with water.
- Skin brightener – Add lemon oil to your current facial cleanser to help remove dead skin cells and create a fresh clear complexion. Or mix 2-3 drops of lemon oil to 1/2 teaspoon of base oil, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and mix with water. Stir to form solution, apply to clean skin, let dry for 20 minutes and then wash off. This can also help cure acne scars and injuries.
- Pimple treatment – Place a drop directly on blemishes to help balance oil glands and minimize oil production.
- Face lotion – Using lemon essential oil all over your face can improve complexion and lead to smooth, clear skin. You can add it to a lotion or rub it in your hands and apply it directly over your face.
- Skin toner – Lemon oil is an astringent so it can be used for deep cleansing of the skin while shrinking pores and reducing sebum being produced. Mix ½ cup of water, ½ cup of witch hazel and 40 drops of lemon oil.
- DIY body scrub – Store this scrub in an airtight glass container which will last couple of months. Do not let water to go inside. Mix 2 tablespoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 7 drops of tea tree oil, and 5 drops of lemon oil. Wash your skin with your regular body wash and rinse with hot water to help open up your pores. Apply the scrub to wet skin over your entire body, massaging in a circular motion for 5-10 minutes to allow the granules to remove dead skin cells. Finally, rinse it off and your skin will be soft and refreshed.
- Soften cuticles – Rub into your fingers and cuticles to soften them and strengthen your nails.
- Soften calluses, corns, and bunions – Apply lemon essential oil consistently to your hardened skin conditions and the lemon oil will soften those areas.

Remember: Lemon oil is phototoxic, so if you are applying it topically on your face or body, it will increase your skin's sensitivity to sun light and cause you to burn faster!

You can also add a few drops of peppermint and eucalyptus oil.
Cooking and eating with lemon essential oils

Oscars Red Carpet: Modern's Facebook Fans' Favorites
At this point in the annual awards season, it's usually pretty clear who the front-runners are and are going to be with each new red carpet. And although the usual suspects did, in fact, bring their A-game with edgy and elegant styles, a few best-dressed newcomers surprised us, and Modern's Facebook fans, with their head-turning looks. Here are a few of the most-liked 'dos spotted on the 2012 Oscars red carpet, according to social media.
Viola Davis
"WOW - I didn't even recognize her at 1st with her hair like this. I LOVE that she wore her hair natural," -Lauren E. Thompson.
Ellie Kemper
"Gorgeous hair, gorgeous dress, gorgeous colors for hair & dress!" –Jane Kelly
Rooney Mara
"I love everything about this look. Think I am a bit biased though because I love the heavy bang look. Her choice of dress was perfect. Think this is my favorite of the night." – Steph Hunt
Milla Jovovich
"My Fave pick of the night!!" –Lori Fangmeier
Emma Stone
"Love Emma and this look" –Jayne Thompson-Chillo
Jessica Chastain
Emma Stone's "The Help" co-star was a favorite on the red carpet for her bold gown choice, but her half-updo helped to pull the entire look together effortlessly. Not only does her red color blend beautifully with her gown, but her piecy waves swept away from her face let her natural-esque makeup and bare decolletage lead the way. Our Facebook fans said:
"love her hair color with this dress!" -Bianca Seymour
Michelle Williams
Well, of course Michelle Williams made the list. She's been a reoccurring figure on all of this awards season's best-dressed lists and has been on our radar for quite a while for her lovely close crop. But the Best Actress nominee really won over stylists with this combination of her bright golden hue--previously a bit on the warmer side at past awards shows--and her flirty red gown. The styling of her 'do was also a bit different at the Oscars, a bit more mussed to the side than we've seen before. Check out what Modern's Facebook fans said:
"absolutely adorable and fresh as a daisy!" -Christine Ruggaber-Wood

Welcome to my very own space in the web. This is my second virtual home. For first time visitors, I am Abby. I am a working mom with two wonderful kids. I am blessed with a good, caring and funny husband everyone calls Roy.
I love good food, wine, and great reads. I am a TV addict and movie buff (a trait the whole family shares). I'm into healthy living and positive parenting. Fashion, cooking/baking, and shopping is my all time favorite stress buster.
THE F WORD is a reflection of the many roles I play: wife, mother, friend, and chef wannabe. A WOMAN who speaks her mind, loves fiercely, laughs wholeheartedly, gives selflessly and who fires out the kitchen with sumptuous food. Recipes found here are the ones I have sourced from all over, my favorites though. HAPPY READING!
A small thing to ask, though. I would appreciate if you leave comments and link ups. I, on my part, will gladly return the favor.

This is a quick tip really but it's taken me a while to share it about how to remove old contact paper from cupboard shelves. Our relationship with our new kitchen is definitely one of those love/hate relationships. We love the layout, love the size, love the numbers of cupboards and pantry space. We adore the view from three windows over the sink.
But we have never been fans of (and this is putting it mildly) of the 2x2 inch tile countertops, both the size and the color. The cupboards look like nice wood on the outside but one you open them you realize they are plywood and not long for this world. Also don't love the awful, poorly attached backsplash.
But barring a $30,000 total kitchen update, we are going to make it work. Ideally I'd like to replace the countertops at least but it doesn't make sense to do that if the cupboards underneath are going to die in the next couple of years.
Because we had so many boxes of kitchen items this was one of the first areas I was determined to get organized. It seemed like a good way to cut down the numbers of boxes we had stacked in the family room and garage. Plus it meant it would be easier for us to eat and have a more normal life as we were at the house working to get it ready to move in.
We had a cleaning service come in and give the house a thorough cleaning, which was a godsend. Then I jumped in on the kitchen cupboards. I spent evenings for a solid week trying to gently nudge 30-year-old contact paper off the drawer and cupboard bottoms. It was tedious and frustrating. I had read online that a blow-dryer would great speed up the project but we didn't have a blow dryer at the new house, at least that I could find yet. I kept forgetting every day to stop and pick up the blow dryer I was using at the townhouse.
The cracking contact paper would sometimes pull off in almost complete pieces and sometimes it just shattered in bits and required large amounts of patience to chisel away. Finally one night I remembered to have my husband grab the blowdryer from the townhouse on his way over. Hello, life changer.
Oh my goodness, how I wish I'd started with the blowdryer. It made quick and easy work of the rest of the kitchen and I blew through it in a fraction of the time. Use a blowdryer to heat up and easily remove old contact paper.

When I was living in Provence I discovered a brand of art supplies, Charvin, they were creating their own colours in a studio in Cannes.

Serious injuries caused by electrical or chemical accidents are a potential risk no matter where you work. You don't have to work in a factory or processing plant to be handling a chemical solution or dye. Whether you're employed in industrial coatings or at a hairdressing salon, you may have been asked to carry out a task involving toxic or highly flammable chemicals without proper training or the right personal protective equipment (PPE).
Directly handling corrosive chemicals without the correct gloves, eye protection or work wear can cause severe burns, disfigurement and allergic reactions. Spillages and leaks are also a common hazard. The effect on your health of unsafe exposure to dangerous chemicals or substances over a period of time may not always be so easy to recognise until symptoms become severe.
You could be at further risk of inhaling noxious chemical fumes if an electrical fault starts a fire or causes an explosion. A power-socket may not be securely attached to the wall, a plug may contain the wrong fuse rating or the wires may have become loose. Kitchen appliances, power tools and other equipment in continuous use at work may have electrical faults which have gone unchecked.
Your employer's responsibilities
Under Control of Substances Hazardous To Health (COSHH) regulations, employers are legally required to control substances that are hazardous to health and prevent exposure to them, by taking the following steps:
Employers must also provide information, instruction and training for employees and others, with monitoring and health surveillance where necessary.
Under the Health and Safety Act of 1974, employers have a duty of care to ensure that the necessary safety precautions are taken in the handling of electrical equipment in the workplace. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 state that any electrical equipment with the potential to cause injury must be maintained in a safe condition. This should involve portable appliance testing (PAT) for electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use.

Here are the 10 easy steps to help you on your way to a personal injury claim today.
We need to understand as much as possible about your accident – how it happened and why, your injuries, what happened immediately afterwards, and how the accident has affected your life.
We will ask your GP and hospital for your full medical records so that we can establish the extent of your injuries, the treatment you received, and how long it will take you to recover.
Once we have decided who is responsible for your accident, we will inform them that you intend to claim compensation and send them the details you have provided. We will let you know their response and, if they dispute the case, we will ask you to provide your comments on their response.
We will arrange for an independent clinician to evaluate the extent of your injuries and whether they will affect your ability to work in the short or long term.
In addition to compensation for your injuries, you can claim for another other expenses you have incurred as a result of your accident, including lost earnings, expenses travelling to medical appointments, and the cost of care and help with everyday tasks.
Once we have received all your medical reports, we can provide a valuation for y our injuries and associated losses. We will send this to you along with your medical report. You then need to complete and sign the medical slip and schedule of losses and return them to us.
Once we have received your signed medical slip and schedule of losses, we send these to the defendant's insurer and ask for their best offer to settle the case.
We work hard to achieve the maximum possible settlement for your case, which can take some time to negotiate. So we text and email you to keep you up to date with our progress.
If the defendant's insurer refuses to make a realistic offer, then we issue Court proceedings for a hearing. It is very unlikely that you need to attend this hearing, so there's no need to worry about it.
Once we receive your compensation payment from the defendant's insurer, we let you know. Most important of all, we send you your compensation payment straight away!
Because the circumstances surrounding every claim and their effects are different, it's very difficult to give a definitive answer on how long it takes to settle a claim. Often it depends on how quickly our clients provide us with essential information, how quickly we can get medical records and assessments, and whether the insurance companies are willing to provide realistic offers to settle the claims.
Whilst we aim to settle your claim as quickly as possible, we also want to ensure we secure the maximum compensation for you. This often means we have to do some hard negotiation with the defendants – which takes extra time. Our aim is to balance progressing the claim as fast as possible with getting you the maximum settlement.
We realise that you'll be keen to know about the progress of your claim so we will send you regular emails and texts to keep you up to date, and also to remind you if there is any information we're waiting for from you.

So, a quick recap of what's been going on in E3 so far:
* Minecraft will be coming to XBLA
* New Fable
* Halo: Combat Evolved remade, also new Halo trilogy
* Kinect-support for Mass Effect 3
* Some new footage on Skyrim
* SSX stuff
* Need for Speed: The Run footage
* Ico and Shadow of Colossus will get a 3D-treatment, meaning you can play them in real 3D glory. Neat!
* the same treatment will be coming for God of War: Origins-pack, which features Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus from PSP
* Both will be coming this September apparently
* Some new material on Prey 2
* Seemingly lots of new material and footage of Battlefield 3. Looks really good, I tell you.
* Some new material on the new Tomb Raider
* Far Cry 3 is up and coming, going back to a tropical island.
* Dust 514 from CCP (the developers of EVE Online) will be PS3 only. Closed beta will start at the end of the year, release is in Spring 2012
* Sony NGP now has an official name: Vita. According to Ars Technica, "The WiFi-only version of the device will run users $249, while the 3G model will cost $299, which puts the handheld in direct competition price-wise with Nintendo's 3DS."
* There will be a new Sly Cooper-game. Nice!
Let's see what else comes up, I'll be updating this post every once in a while.
Fixed the strange background-colour bug.

A number of people have contacted me and expressed interest in reading a guide that starts a little earlier on in the process--that is, how do you first install Hadoop and myHadoop on a cluster, and then how do users interact with that installation in such a way that allows them to submit jobs that spawn Hadoop clusters? +Dana Brunson was kind enough to remind me that I had promised some people such a guide and never delivered it, so I set out to write one up this weekend.
It turned out that writing up a guide that was sufficiently simple required a substantial rewrite of the myHadoop framework itself, so I wound up doing that as well. I made a lot of changes (and broke backwards compatibility-sorry!), but the resulting guide on how to deploy Hadoop on a traditional high-performance computing cluster is now pretty simple. Here it is:
In addition, I released a new version of myHadoop to accompany this guide:
I'm pretty excited about this, as it represents a very easy way to get people playing with the technology without having to invest in new infrastructure. I was able to deploy it out on a number of XSEDE resources entirely from userland, and there's no reason it would not be simple on any machine with local disks and a batch system.
3-Step Install and 3-Step Spin-upAlthough the details are in the guide I referenced above, deploying Hadoop on a traditional cluster using myHadoop only takes three easy steps:
- Download a stock Apache Hadoop 1.x binary distribution and myHadoop 0.30b
- Unpack both Hadoop and myHadoop into an installation directory (no actual installation required)
- Apply a single patch shipped with myHadoop to Apache Hadoop
- There is no step #4
- Export a few environment variables ($PATH, $HADOOP_HOME, $JAVA_HOME, and $HADOOP_CONF_DIR)
- Run the myhadoop-configure.sh command and pass it $HADOOP_CONF_DIR and the location of each compute node's local disk filesystem (e.g., /scratch/$USER)
- Run Hadoop's "start-all.sh" script (no input needed)
- Like I said, no step #4
RequirementsHadoop clusters have fundamentally different architectures than traditional supercomputers due to their workloads being data-intensive rather than compute-intensive. However, any compute cluster that has
- a local scratch disk in each node†,
- some form of TCP-capable interconnect (1gig, 10gig, or InfiniBand), and
- a supported resource manager (currently Torque, SLURM, and SGE)
† This is a lie. I reimplemented myHadoop's "persistent mode" support so that you can also run HDFS off of a durable networked parallel filesystem like Lustre and keep your HDFS data around even when you haven't got a Hadoop cluster spun up. This is undercutting the benefits of HDFS though, so it's not a recommended approach.

Good evening!
As I shall be offline in the next few days (I`m going on a small vacation), I`m gonna show you one more decoration today.
The neon pink for the french is BK Hello Kitty 16 in one coat.
Then, after it was dry, I stamped the lace using Konad m57 stamping plate and black polish.
On the other nails I painted one stroke flowers with acrylic paints.
And finished all with a coat of Poshe top coat.

This week, we join organizations across Canada to celebrate National Volunteer Week.
Most of our Let's Talk Science programs rely heavily on volunteers as they prepare youth for the future by engaging them online and in person in our science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs. Without our volunteers, much of our work would not be possible.
Last year, we engaged over 3,500 volunteers, who put in over 55,000 hours of volunteering. They are on track to surpass these numbers this year!
Thanks to volunteers supporting our programs, Let's Talk Science has helped over 4 million children and youth build critical skills and foster the joy of learning. This impressive number, along with our volunteers' continued ability to engage youth in STEM, is the reason why Let's Talk Science funders like The Colcleugh Leadership Program and Great West Life / London Life / Canada Life continue to support our volunteer-led programs.
During National Volunteer Week, we invite you to celebrate with us as we showcase amazing volunteers from across Canada who help fulfill our mission. From coast-to-coast-to-coast we're thanking our volunteers with this special National Volunteer Week video:

The H1B visa for nurses is an opportunity obtainable to a restricted group of overseas national registered nurses. An H1B registered nurse petition might be approved if the offered place is in a "subject occupation," which is described in the Immigration and Nationality Act as one that needs the "theoretical and practical submission of a body of extremely dedicated knowledge" and "achievement of a bachelor's, or higher, degree in the particular area of expertise or its equivalent." These requirements pose a difficulty in the majority of nurse cases, as the least requirement to be licensed as an RN is usually a two-year degree in nursing, more willingly than a four-year bachelor's degree.
A lot of RNs, as a result, would not meet the criteria for the H1B categorization. On the other hand, a petitioning company might show that a particular RN position could meet the criteria for an H1B visa for nurses by representing that:
1. A bachelor's degree or upper (or its equal) is usually the least requirement for admission into that specific position;
2. The degree obligation is widespread to the industry in similar nursing positions;
3. The company usually requires a degree or its comparable for the position;
4. The nature of the position's duties is so dedicated and multifaceted that the familiarity required to carry out the duties is typically associated with the achievement of a bachelor's degree or upper (or its equal). In determining how experience might be alternate for education, BCIS uses the principle that three years of particular training and/or work knowledge is equal to one year of college-level training.
3 Categories Possibly Qualifying for H1B visa for Nurses
1) Some types of RNs may meet these essential qualifications for the H1B visa for nurses. The first group of nurses who usually will be approved is the certified higher practice registered nurse (APRN) category. Following positions fall within this category.
i. Clinical nurse specialists (CNSS)
ii. Certified nurse-midwives (CNMS)
iii. Certified nurse practitioners (NPS)
iv. Certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNAS)
If an APRN place requires the worker to be certified in that practice, the nurse ought to have an RN, at least a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and some extra, graduate-level learning. CNSs comprise Acute Care, Adult, Hospice, Palliative Care, Psychiatric and Mental Health-Child, Neonatal, Pediatric, Critical Care, Gerontological, Family, Psychiatric and Mental Health-Adult, and Women's Health nurses. NPs comprise Acute Care, Pediatric, Psychiatric & Mental Health, Adult, Family, Gerontological, Neonatal, and Women's Health nurses.
2) The next category of nurses who may meet the criteria for the H1B visa for nurses are those in managerial positions requiring graduate degrees in fields for example nursing or health administration.
3) A last, more individual group that might receive H1B visa for nurses approval includes those who have a nursing area of expertise for example critical care and peri-operative nurses, or who have passed examinations based on medical experience in school health, work-related health, operating room, oncology, treatment nursing, emergency room nursing, critical care, and pediatrics, but who are not APRNs. In these cases, the requester have to show that the nature of the specific position is so specialized and multifaceted that one would usually wait for the person performing the duties to have reach a bachelor's (or higher) degree, or its comparable.

Winter temperatures fluctuate greatly. Cold fronts can drop nighttime temperatures into the upper 20s, but these cold spells are usually very brief. Even during the winter months, daytime temperatures are often in the 70s. Snow is rare.
Spring and fall are the most popular seasons for outdoor activities in this area.
The Big Thicket receives an average of 55" of rainfall annually.

In Seattle, Washington, USA, the Center of Excellence for Limb Loss Prevention and Prosthetic Engineering has been developing the Robotic Gait Simulator (RGS). This is a custom device developed around an R2000 Rotopod which is used to model the interaction between the lower extremity and the ground. The R2000 Rotopod allows the full six-degree of Freedom movement and the power necessary for this simulation to take place.
The primary purpose of the RGS is to simulate gait in vitro using cadaveric specimens. These simulations will serve as a test bed to explore various reconstructive surgical procedures for different foot deformities. By employing measurement techniques too invasive for use with living subjects great insight can be gained into the biomechanical function of the foot and ankle. The prosthetic gait simulation is able to recreate the motion and forces that occur during transtibial prosthetic gait in vitro. This simulation provided a simple test case in which questions regarding RGS methodologies and hardware were investigated and answered, while producing a system that potentially can be employed in the future to study and develop prosthetic feet.
The RGS mimics the gait cycle inversely by holding the tibia still while moving the "ground," represented as a force plate mounted on the six-degree of freedom hexapod robot (R2000). Nine linear actuators in series with nine load cells supply tendon force via liquid nitrogen tendon freeze clamps to the nine main extrinsic tendons of the lower limb. An embedded real time controller performs ground reaction force data acquisition and tendon force feedback control.
Patrick Aubin, in working with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the University of Washington, has written his MS EE Thesis about Gait Simulation with a 6-DOF robot while working with the R2000. To quote a portion of his Thesis...
A novel six degree of freedom parallel robotic platform was leveraged as the central hardware portion of the RGS (Robotic Gait Simulator). The natural characteristics of a parallel rotopod, including high stiffness to weight ratio, fast yawing action, and tight motion control, matched well with the requirements of the RGS."

Heading into Monday night's contest against the Houston nine, it seemed like every previous start by Zack Greinke proved to be fodder for either extreme in the "sign him / don't sign him" debate. If you're like me, last night's start was PERFECT: finally, a "guts" outing for Greinke, combining a'lil'bad and a'lil'good, one that favored no side in the clearly-season-long debate about his contract.
While only Dusty Baker might call 116 pitches over 6 frames efficient, Greinke struck out 9 Astros for all that effort. Furthermore, the pitcher flat-out clamped-down during most of his jams, allowing him to limit the damage to 2 runs (despite allowing 8 hits and 2 walks).
If there's an underlying story to Greinke's performance during last night's 6-5 made-to-order nailbiter victory, it's the right handed ace-in-waiting's shiny new cut fastball. Headed into Monday night, Greinke selected his cutter nearly 20% of the time, which is quite remarkable given that he hardly ever threw a distinct cutter in the past (of course, in the tradition of old-school Greinke, he probably threw the cutter more than reported, simply because he had a penchant to change speeds on everything and do little things to switch-up batters).
Compared to his previous starts, Greinke selected that cut fastball even more frequently during last night's start. Compared to only 12 sliders, Greinke selected his new moving fastball 30 times. Although he did not throw the pitch for strikes at an overwhelming rate, the kind of strikes he yielded are rather interesting. 15 of Greinke's 30 cutters yielded strikes of some sort; 12 of those 15 strikes were contact-based (including one hit). As a result, Greinke's cutter broke down to 12 contact-based strikes, 2 swinging strikes (1 strikeout), and 1 called strike.
What does this matter? Well, Greinke clearly was using the pitch to (a) set up outs with his other pitches, and (b) yield contact-oriented outs (3 groundouts, 2 flyouts). Even though he only threw the pitch for a strike half of the time, one gets an aggressive feeling from the pitch. Hell, if the batter didn't give the defense an out to play off the cutter, Greinke could just blast 'em with a fastball or slider.
This type of addition to Greinke's arsenal is significant because of the relative decline of his slider over time. Greinke's sharp breaking ball was the star of his repertoire during the 2009 season, and it was also his best pitch in 2008. Even though Greinke yielded positive value from the pitch during 2010 and 2011, it was nothing like his elite season with the slider. His slider once again looked to be a less-valuable offering during his early season starts.
One of the most significant outcomes of last night's start for Greinke was the swing-and-miss role for his slider. While he coaxed batters into ball-in-play outs with his cutter, Greinke dropped approximately 7 MPH to his slider and yielded swinging strikes. He only selected the pitch 12 times, but yielded 9 strikes from the breaking ball, including 5 swinging third-strikes and 1 popout.
I find this to be thrilling news, given the measurements that previously ranked Greinke's 2012 slider as one of his least valuable pitches. Here we see a second benefit to his cutter: Greinke can use his slider as a second change-up, working from his strong moving fastball to his sharp bender. If you think of Greinke's job as one of changing speeds, disrupting timing, and changing the batter's eye level, Greinke's cutter/slider combination adds another "plane" to the strike zone, compared to his other fastballs/change up. While his fastballs and change up spin-in against righties, his cutter and slider spin to the other side of the zone. In this regard, his cutter is significant because it shows batters another pitch that moves-in against lefties. Now Greinke effectively has fastballs and change-ups that move to any and all parts of the strike zone.
For the season now, we might divide Greinke's selections in the following way:
Rising fastball (92+) / sinking fastball (92+) / change up (85+): 54.6%
Cutting fastball (90+) / slider (84+) / curveball (71+): 45.4%
What makes Greinke's arsenal so rad this year is that he actually appears to be using six different pitches (seven if you count his slow curve), with three selections moving in against righties, and three moving in against lefties. Again, this allows Greinke to throw fastballs and change speeds to any area of the strike zone.
All things considered, last night Greinke received a "bad" strike zone that was desirable:
Greinke threw just over 60 pitches that needed to be called last night. Home plate umpire Andy Fletcher called a pretty good zone, making 7 bad calls (4 balls, 3 strikes) and 3 borderline calls (2 balls, 1 strike) on Greinke's pitches. While the wrong ball calls occurred up in the zone, the bad strike calls occurred low and outside of the zone, giving Greinke an added bonus for working low in the zone. If you're going to get a bad strike zone, this is the one to get.

DEATH COMES eCALLING is one of those books that makes me wonder about the viability of publishing. That's not a comment on its content but rather the way I acquired it. Free. Via Amazon. Of course. I used to follow a twitter account that promoted free books for Kindle and would generally download any crime fiction titles that found their way on to the list. Because free. I've stopped following the account. I realised I'd downloaded dozens of titles yet rarely been tempted enough to read any of them. And even though I understand the principle – that by giving away one book the author or publisher is hoping to entice readers to buy additional titles – I don't see a lot of evidence of it that in practice. A lot of people just like free stuff. And I can't help it…reading these freebies makes me feel vaguely dirty in a way that reading a library book never has. This year I'm making a concerted effort to work my way through these freebies. Read 'em or delete 'em is my new motto.
The book is squarely at the cosy end of the spectrum. Its amateur sleuth is Molly Masters. Molly returns to her home town in New York with her two young children while her husband is posted overseas for work. Soon after arriving an old teacher writes asking her to visit but before Molly can do so the woman is found dead. And Molly starts receiving electronic threats. She is soon embroiled in trying to work out who wants her gone and whether or not the same person murdered her old teacher.
Molly makes her living as a creator of eCards which is the first thing about this book I found a bit difficult to swallow. Like many aspects of the book it is almost believable but not quite there. Surely someone with cartooning skills would be branching out a bit beyond just doing cards? There are other plot contrivances in which the internet seems like a brand new discovery which are plain awkward for a book released in 2013 but make more sense when you know that this book is a re-write of a title originally released in 1996 as DEATH AND FAXES. I remain unconvinced that this kind of updating is what publishing needs but I guess I'm not trying to make a living as a writer so I shouldn't judge too harshly. Still, it didn't feel entirely complete (one of Molly's clients asks for her to design something to help them sell fax machines for pity's sake and she seems never to have heard of Dropbox for example). The overall plot held together well enough though I thought the culprit fairly easy to spot.
For cosy mysteries to work – for me anyway – the characters have to engage and that didn't quite happen here. Molly is likable enough as the main protagonist – and I enjoyed the humour injected into her personality via the descriptions of the cartoons she designed – but the rest of the cast are entirely forgettable. To the point that it's only 3 days after I finished the book now and I'd have to open it to remind myself of any of their names. There's the best friend next door. The high school arch nemesis. The good but boring guy who's become the local copper. Collectively I suppose they show some insight into the juxtaposition of our teenage and adult selves but I have to admit I am not a big one for that kind of reminiscing so perhaps I am not the target market for a story with that focus.
In short, the book was good enough to keep me reading to the end but not good enough to prompt me to search out later titles. Which means the free experiment failed, at least in my case.

Italy police find Al Pacino Scarface bust in mafia raid
Italian police discovered a bust of actor Al Pacino as the drugs boss "Scarface" when they raided the home of a suspected mafia drugs boss.
Al Pacino played the role of Cuban drug kingpin Tony Montana in the 1983 film.
Police said the model was found in the home of 34-year-old Carlo Padovani during a raid in Boscoreale, near Naples.
Mr Padovani is believed to be linked to three clans from the Camorra mafia which operates in the area.
Police said he was in charge of managing the drugs trade which took place on a square in Boscoreale.
Although Mr Padovani was initially arrested in July last year, police said he was able to carry on organising the trade from his home where he was under house arrest. He obtained a false medical certificate from an official who has also now been arrested.
Mr Padovani was among 33 people detained in what police said was a drugs trade on an almost industrial scale, generating 17-18,000 euros (£14,181- £15,040) per day, and as much as 25,000 euros (£20,800) at weekends, according to Italy's TG1.com.
Police said children as young as six years of age were used as lookouts for drug pushers operating in the square.

Posted in Enterprise, Mobile Business, Thought Leadership
This month marks eight years since Apple first released its revolutionary iPhone. Following its explosive uptake in the market, a series of high performing & power packed smartphones soon made their way into enterprises after employees began to demand to use their new smart devices over outdated corporate-issued phones.
As a result, organizations that never allowed the use of personal devices in the workplace started permitting employees to bring their own devices to access enterprise applications and content– also known as BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device). Though many organizations embraced BYOD to reduce company costs on corporate owned-devices and improve the user experience for employees, it has also triggered security risks that endanger the privacy and security of company information.
Although not new, the security challenges only seem to be growing. Let's discuss current BYOD challenges and explain how Thru can help enterprises get the best of both worlds.
Some common BYOD challenges for enterprises are:
Privacy of Company Data
According to Gartner, "Already, over 60% of workers report using a personal device at least once a day in their work; 44% use a personal smartphone in their job." This sets off security as a top concern for CIOs. Permitting employees to access company data from personal devices is a daily challenge for IT departments. Since employees use their smartphones and tablets daily to access third party apps like online games, social networking sites, etc., they face a high chance of downloading malware that can infect their devices. If an employee has company data saved on an infected device that data remains at risk of being leaked or retrieved by malicious programs.
Consumer File Storage Applications
Along with the iPhone's popularity came the widespread use of consumer file storage applications that could be quickly downloaded for no cost from online app stores. These apps became popular because they gave employees an easy way to store photos, music and personal documents in the cloud. Because these apps are easy to use, many employees started using these apps at work to bypass email file size restrictions and to always have their files with them on-the-go. This has become a problem for IT departments because the data stored in these apps is isolated from IT management and is not guaranteed to be protected with features such as encryption that keep data from unauthorized access.
Lost or Stolen Devices
According to a 2014 report from the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) on stolen devices, more than 1 million smartphones are stolen each year. Whether employee devices are lost or stolen, enterprises with a BYOD policy must ensure that it can protect company data that is stored on employee devices. The enterprise applications that employees use to access data should have security features such as remote wipe that empower IT administrators to delete data off missing or stolen devices.
Thru: An Ideal BYOD Solution for Enterprises
What enterprises need in order to solve these challenges are mobile technologies that guarantee the security of company data and give employees free rein to work from anywhere, or any device.
Thru's enterprise file sharing and collaboration solution is a pivotal example of a secure BYOD solution. With Thru, employees can sync and share files with any corporate-issued or employee-owned device while giving IT departments complete visibility and control of user actions. To help enterprises with the challenges of malware, consumer file storage and lost or stolen devices, Thru's secure file sharing solution ensures complete end to end protection with antivirus scanning, comprehensive encryption and remote wipe functionality.
Largely influenced by the iPhone's popularity, the mobile workforce today is still growing with momentous acceleration. CIOs and IT Directors must evaluate the BYOD needs of their organization and evaluate the best solutions like Thru that ensure the most secure BYOD policy as possible.

Hello Mariette, Happy Birthday to Pieter, and many happy returns! Next to marrying you, the best decision he ever made was to quit smoking.
Dearest Mariette; Oh, Happy birthday to your Dear husband Pieter! He looks SO handsome in the two photographs. My husband also quit smoking around 50 years old and I'm really happy for that. Yes, many more happy years for both of you, Dear friend.
Congratulations on your hard work, both for his family and for you two☆☆☆ Working together as International Consultants must be WONDERFUL years with lots of precious memories.
I think (or hope) after the so called Golden Week in Japan finishing Soba guests, I'll be able to have more free time :-) Have a wonderful new week and spring days♬♬♬
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Nou dat was een heel werk inderdaad en een terugblik in het verleden. Die Big Ben Pipo had mijn man ook, een heel klein kort pijpje. Ach ja iedereen rookte vroeger en nu bijna niemand meer gelukkig. Gefeliciteerd met je man, een respectabele leeftijd, hoop dat jullie nog vele mooie jaren samen hebben.
Groeten, Marianne
Hello Mariette,
Happy Birthday for her distinguished husband!
In the photos it looks very handsome! respectfully !
the initiative to organize photos and other is really great!
many good and beautiful memories!
Warm greetings from the Caribbean!
Rose M.
Hello! Your husband looks like a movie star in the photos you've shared! His selfie is priceless. Sophisticated, a bit of mystery about him.
I have been absent from Blogger for a while, finishing up the editing process on my five year journal ~~ kept during the years I cared for my Mother. From the day I brought her to Florida to live with my son and me ... to the day she passed away, as I cradled her in my arms. Blurb is 'publishing' my book ~ both sisters will receive a copy. Mother passed away in May, 2007 ~~ as you can see, it certainly took me a long time to do this. A labor of love.
Your friendship means much to me .....
Hi Mariette. Happy birthday to Pieter taha is very, very handsome. It´s really fantastic he already don´t smoke.
Have a nice afternoon.
Happy birthday to your sweet husband Pieter! He is such a handsome gentleman. Love both photos of him from his younger years. Having met him in person, I say he keeps his handsomeness at any age :-) It must have been really a huge task to scan all the photos and slides. But it's worth it, I'm sure!
Happy May Day, Mariette. Have a wonderful new week ahead!
Innanzitutto AUGURI a tuo marito!!!!! Immagino quanto lungo e faticoso sia stato il lavoro che hai dovuto fare, ma devi ammettere che ne è valsa la pena.Ora potrai rivedere un enorme e lungo bagaglio di vissuto, posti, luoghi, abitudini, storie, vicende e persone che hanno lasciato in voi un meraviglioso dono di vita.

A deal between the Indianapolis Indians and Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau has been scuttled. The cancellation comes less than a week after Louisville officials' efforts to beam their promotional message on downtown Indianapolis buildings during the NCAA regional here was stifled. Indianapolis city officials said the promotion during the NCAA games was halted because Louisville officials failed to secure the proper permits.
The reasons why the Indians promotion was cancelled were less clear. A spokeswoman for the LCVB said she didn't know why the promotion was halted, and a call to LCVB CEO Jim Wood went unanswered this morning.
Louisville tourism officials planned to bring in a 45-foot motor coach to the April 14 Indians game to spread their message, host a huge tailgate party and give away discounts for numerous Louisville area attractions and other freebies and also registering people to win a pair of tickets to this year's Kentucky Derby. The theme of the promotional campaign was going to be that Louisville is an ideal location for nearby spring and summer getaways during this challenging economy.
"After considering the promotional opportunity [with the LCVB], we felt our relationship with the [Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Association] was more important in the long-run than what this promotion would do in the short-term," said Cal Burleson, Indians vice president and general manager. "We just didn't think it was something we should move forward with, especially in light of what happened with the NCAA basketball regional. We want to be a good corporate citizen here in Indianapolis."
No word on if Louisville tourism folks will make other attempts to reach Indianapolis area residents and businesses with their message, but an April 25 event in Evansville will go on as planned.

We're settling into our new home nicely, still moving around posessions, pondering colour schemes and decor ideas and aquiring bits of furniture here and there. Mostly from a series of wonderful antiques markets we discovered in our nearest big town, a few local op (charity/thrift) shops and also on Gumtree- where we were lucky enough to score a free lovely timber, provinvial style bed for the spare room. I just need to mention here that you have no idea how unreal/amazing it feels to me to actually say the words "our" and "spare bedroom" in the same sentence. Decorating on a budget is always a challenge but I'm loving it, actually just loving being able to knock nails in walls without panicking about having to fill them all one day when we move out.
Having an actual garden, well a large-ish patch of grass to be precise, is still a huge novelty and my mind is ticking over with ambitious plans involving rose and lavender bushes, trailing vines and trellices. I had to acquaint myself with the gardening section of the library as soon I stopped daydreaming for long enough to realise I don't actually know anything about garden design, or even in fact gardening. However, the veggie patch is already underway which the children are beyond thrilled about and no doubt my mother, the master gardener, will be happy to help when she and my Dad fly over for an eagerly anticipated visit at the end of December. The only thing bothering me is a memory of my teenage self declaring to my parents that I would never, ever, seriously never be interested in gardening as it was the most boring thing on Earth. This can only mean I am now officially old.
Here are a few pictures of home and things happening in it of late...
1 // A display of straw hats hanging on our bedroom wall. We've (ha! what I really mean is 'I') decided to go with a travel / beachy / Morrocan style vibe for the room.
2 // New findings from beach combing adventures to add to our collection of random curios.
3 // My new book, dipping into it whenever I get a spare minute to myself.
4 // New necklace creations ready for sale at my stall at the craft market next month. Eeek. Starting to get a bit nervous about having enough stock and whether anyone will actually buy any of them. The entire dining table is now taken over with bead production.
5 // Preparations for the home made advent calendar I am creating for the girls. Each day in December they will discover a festive item or details of something we will do that day. Somedays it will be a little sweet treat (a candy cane or chocolate coin), sometimes a treasure (a little decoration for the tree or book), alternatively a festive activity (watching The Snowman, listening to Christmas songs, baking and decorating Christmas cookies), or a big event (choosing the Christmas tree or going to a carol concert).
I'm still figuring out the logistics of how all this will actually be packaged up and made to look pretty but it's fun and I'm feeling fairly excited and in the festive spirit already. Well, as festive as it is possible to get in a country where it is likely to be averaging 27 degrees celcius on Christmas day.
