Assembly and why Flying indoors is a bad idea
This post is part of a series: Designing a Mapping Robot
In the last post I had just gotten all of the parts of my quadrotor delivered, unboxed and tested. By now I also had a rough idea about what each thing did. Now it was just a matter of following the instructions and fitting all the pieces together right? No. Not really.
I won't bore you with the technical aspects of this. It was, hands-down, the most frustrating part of the whole process because nothing worked precisely as advertised. Actually, to be completely correct: I didn't work as advertised and very often what I thought was the right way to do something was completely ass-backwards.
No shame in that though. It's all part of the learning process.
"This thing's an autopilot so I don't need a radio right?" --Me, October, 2012
It seems I vastly overestimated how advanced the Ardupilot software is. Don't get me wrong, it's amazing stuff but it's still not completely plug-n-play. The software is constantly being updated though and even since my first attempts last December it has come along leaps and bounds.
Also I was avoiding a fundamental issue (I'm always doing that). I like to find shortcuts around deep learning. Sometimes it works and sometimes I need to double back and do things the "right" way. In this case I got royally schooled. I would need to get myself a radio and learn how to fly this beast.
Speed controllers
Speed controllers are the little computer monsters that tell each motor how fast to spin to keep the craft level and hovering. They are too small to have a screen or any kind of visual display so they tell you they're happy by singing a little song. I completely approve of this.
It took me a good 3 days of trying to get them to do anything useful though. We're so used to visual feedback from devices.
The Turnigy Talon carbon fibre frame was pretty easy to assemble but it had a lot of screws and while lightweight seemed really brittle. This is known as foreshadowing. In the next post all my fears will be confirmed.
Flip the switch aaaaand...... nothing!
Then I had it all together and I turned it on and....... nothing. It's amazing when I look back on this moment. These days I can get the whole thing up and flying in a few minutes; troubleshooting by sight and sound any problems almost immediately. On this day though I was stumped, angry, frustrated and completely clueless. The odd-looking copter-thing in front of me was a black box of magic that I had only peeked inside. The outside of it was blinking, flashing and beeping in ways I couldn't understand.
Tethered flight
My apartment has a great feature: an unheated, unfinished work room. I call it the MattCave. Anyway I attached a 4-point harness made of rope to the floor as a way to prevent the copter from flipping over or crashing into the ceiling/walls/me.
I can't even relate the joy when I was able to connect the radio to the base station and see that turning the brain of the copter with my hand affected what was on the screen.
Here it is Lifting off the mat for the first time:
You'll notice this is called "Test Flight 2". That's because test flight 1 ended in tears. I would have shown it but in my panic and excitement I forgot to push record on the camera. Oh well.
Here's another flight. I used my Makerbot Desktop 3D printer to make a camera mount for the Turnigy Talon 2.
So what should I call it? Flying 3D Mapping Robot seems like it could be called F3MUR. Hmm....

Delilah Noir
Delilah Noir "Red Velvet" (LE497) wearing her original outfit.
Delilah Noir is a 16" vinyl BJD produced by Aston-Drake Galleries.
Red Velvet
According to Ashton-Drake, Delilah Noir "is a fascinating young woman who embraces the different and seemingly contradictory components of her personality. Unable to sum up in a single look, persona, or adventure, Delilah represents the multiplicity of characters in all of us. By day, she is many things: outstanding student, generous friend, model of society. But by night, she is whoever she wants to be: unfiltered, unfettered, and outrageous."

https://www.inc.com/charles-edge/complacency-is-a-curse-heres-how-to-avoid-it.html. This piece focuses on what to do when things are going really good in an organization: more work!
It starts a little like this:
Running a company can be really hard. But when everything lines up just right, you hit a stride.
The business feels like a well-oiled machine and almost seems to run itself. This is true not just for startup entrepreneurs but also for people who lead departments in larger organizations.
But of course, business is never really easy. Just when you're riding the wave, a crash always lurks up ahead.
So if you're fortunate enough to be in a positive place with your business, understand that this is the very time to become uncomfortable and take a hard look at every aspect of the operation.
A business should always be thinking about how to reinvent, even when the revenue is rolling in and morale is high.

How to Prepare for Slip and Fall Claim

- Take pictures of the area
- Taking pictures of the area where the slip and fall occurred can help provide vital evidence in determining who was the negligent party
- Take pictures of the area from different angles
- Take photographs of your injuries
- Request an incident report
- If the accident occurred in a public place, business establishment, apartment complex or government building request that an incident report be taken and be sure to obtain a copy of the incident report
- Seek medical attention
- If you are injured as a result of the slip and fall, seek medical attention immediately
- Contact a personal injury attorney
- An experienced slip and fall attorney can help explain the nature of your case and guide you towards a successful settlement

- Unsecured rugs or carpets
- Liquid spills
- Improperly placed extension cords
No Warning or Caution Signs Placed Placed Near the Hazard That Caused The Slip and Fall
The absences of warnings or caution signs situated near the hazard that caused you to slip and fall, can be a indicator of the property manager's negligence. However, there are specific elements that must be proven and evidence that must be show such as. that the property manager failed to put a warning sign within a reasonable time of discovering the hazard or failed to notice the hazard within a reasonable time.

Hello, sorry I've not posted for a few days, I'm having trouble getting good pictures with this gloomy weather (and my lack of camera skillz). I have a couple of manicures to show you coming up :)
This is a manicure I wore for a few days in the week between Christmas and New Year (doesn't it seem like months ago now?) I used a navy blue creme from 2True on all fingers except my ring, which I used Barry M Lilac Foil and then stamped a flowery Bundle Monster pattern, reversing the colours. But where is this accent finger she speaks of, I hear you cry. Well, I went into Boots before I got to take any pictures, and going into Boots means that I test out nail polish and only two fingers stayed intact... Sorry about that!
Now look at the state of my fingers after I removed it! I've used this polish before and it wasn't too bad for staining which leads me to believe that non-acetone polish remover is pants. It's drying out my skin more than acetone remover does and it stinks to high heaven. It isn't hurting my booboo though, which is a good thing because just about everything else is.
Off to pick Ollie up from pre-school now, in the rain. Fun times!

A classically cool couple with a very indie meets romantic wedding ceremony and reception at the beautiful Green Door Gourmet made for a simply stylish wedding day for Becky + Alex. When you mix an open air ceremony, delish food truck catering, the hit song 24k Magic by Bruno Mars, an energetic crowd, and two people who cant wait to get married then you're guaranteed to have a Space Jam style slam dunk wedding. From beginning to end, this one is one of our favorites to wrap up October weddings. Incredible photos by John Yates at Celladora compliment this blog more than we can with words. Warning: you will feel wedding envy while reading about this one.
Saturday | 10.29.16
Andy Dozier | Jon Human
Vendors: Green Door Gourmet | Officiant Jeff Roubos | Photography, John Yates at Celladora | Catering, The Steaming Goat
A 4:30 ceremony, surrounded by family and friends, created a magical sunset ceremony as Becky and Alex vowed to love one another forever. Following their ceremony, guests were ushered into the cocktail hour until it was time for the reception to begin. These Newlyweds requested a high energy grand entrance, coming into the reception to the song 24k Magic by Bruno Mars. I mean does Bruno Mars scream high energy or what?! Following their introductions, Becky and Alex went into their first dance as husband + wife, dancing to Beatrice by Sam Rivers. #Swoon
The rest of their playlist included What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong for the father/daughter dance, and songs by artists such as Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Walk The Moon to name a few. This couple included really cool touches to their wedding day; for example, their caterer was a food truck and a really good one at that. I know I've used this adjective a few times already in describing this wedding, but I cant think of another more fitting word: cool. The dance floor stayed packed all night, and we loved watching the guests show off their best moves. All in all, a very fun and hip celebration for these two and we're so glad that we were able to be a part of it. Their photographer, John Yates, summed it up perfectly saying:
Congratulations again Becky + Alex.. Cheers to you both!

The Danish conglomerate AP Moller-Maersk, which owns Maersk Line, has announced that Michael Pram Rasmussen step down as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. He will remain in his position until the Annual General Meeting on March 28th, and he will not stand for re-election. The Board of Directors said that they intend to elect Jim Hagemann Snabe to succeed Michael Pram Rasmussen as Chairman following the Annual General Meeting.
This news follows AP Moller-Maersk reporting only its second ever annual loss in the past seven decades. The company is in the midst of breaking apart it's business units, centering the group again around the container liner business, and spinning of their other units like their oil business. The market seems to be recovering, as demand is beginning to recover and the worst may be over.
Vice Chairman Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla says: "Since 1999 Michael Pram Rasmussen has served A.P. Moller- Maersk as a Board member, 14 years as our Chairman. I am very grateful for his many contributions and relentless commitment to our Group, during good as well as hard times. Michael has anchored the ongoing transformation of the company, with solid business insight as well as loyalty to our name. I look forward to welcoming Jim Hagemann Snabe to take the torch that will lead us into the future".
Chairman Michael Pram Rasmussen says: "In 2016 we took a decision to change the direction of the company. With a new structure accomplished and a new leadership team established led by Soren Skou, we are ready to implement the new strategy focusing on developing Transport & Logistics and for the next generation to take the lead and respond to industry opportunities. Timing is right for me as well as for the company to retire as the Chairman."
Jim Hagemann Snabe says: "I am honored to be nominated as new Chairman of the Board. A. P. Moller – Maersk is a very strong company, with an impressive history and impact on global trade and it has enormous potential in a world of constant change. I look forward to working with the board and the management team on the transformation that lies ahead of us, as well as securing a strong future platform for our oil and oil related businesses."

A Builder Who Gives Back
We at Bear Creek Homes believe that when people put forth their skills and talents to help others in need it improves the health of the community overall. Even if some of us can only give a little bit, when we get together as a group, we can accomplish a lot more.
Dripping Springs Community Mission Partnership
During the winter of 2010, Chuck Lemmond, a local builder and coordinator for community help projects for the Dripping Springs United Methodist Church, received a call for help. A young, recently widowed mother of five children ages twelve and under had frozen pipes in her mobile home.
Upon examining her issue, Chuck realized plumbing was the least of Rocio Flores' problems. There was black mold on the walls, a leak in the roof, and sky peaking through the walls.
Chuck fixed her immediate plumbing issue, and told Rocio that he didn't know how he was going to do it, but he was going to find her a new home. And with that promise, DSCMP was born.
Established in 2010, Dripping Springs Community Mission Partnership (DSCMP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit comprised of volunteers who help the under-served in the Dripping Springs area acquire safe, healthy, livable housing and improve life skills.
Builder, Chuck Lemmond, is committed to improving the lives and living conditions for those who need help. Chuck utilizes his skills and expertise in home building to make an impact in their lives and ultimately help strengthen the community in which he lives and supports.
Burke Center for Youth
Burke Center for Youth strives to promote healing and inspire hope for children in crisis. Whether through treatment, placement, or a little extra stability, our ultimate goal is to help children rebuild their lives in a manner that will break the cycle of abuse and give them the tools necessary to flourish.
Chuck is hands-on with his work and on a personal level with those he works with...
Chuck finds value in investing in our youth, in particular supporting the at-risk youth that are in transitional housing...
April 13, 2017 - The Dripping Springs Community Mission Partnership, with the help of dozens of volunteers and donors, just wrapped up the "Shack to Home" project for a local family in need of a home of their own.

NHS chiefs forced to apologise to patients for sham consultation over surgery closure plans
By Gareth Iacobucci
A PCT has been forced to apologise to patients after it issued a letter informing them that their GP surgery was to close without consultation.
Patients at the Solent Surgery in Hythe received a letter from Hampshire PCT informing them of plans to axe the surgery because it is too small – and offering them a list alternative practices to sign-up to in the area.
But the PCT was forced to delay the decision by six months after furious local patients said they had not been properly consulted, and formed a protest group to fight the decision.
In its initial letter, the PCT told patients: 'Hampshire PCT intends to transfer the service currently provided by Solent Surgery to other local GP surgeries'.
It said that the surgery 'is too small for a full-time GP', and offers 'a limited range of services compared to other practices locally'.
Registered patients were told they would either have to choose a new GP or be transferred automatically to another practice.
But, following the angry reaction to the plans, Gareth Cruddace, chief executive of Hampshire PCT, wrote a follow-up letter to patients. He said: 'Following initial feedback I felt it was important to write again to offer my sincere apologies for any concern the letter may have caused.
'We have therefore decided to keep the surgery open for at least six months in order to work with local patients in deciding the future of Solent Surgery.'
Patients have since formed a committee to support the Save Solent Surgery campaign - which is being backed by New Forest East MP Julian Lewis - after more than 60 people met at a local meeting to speak out against the plans.
The PCT has pledged to hold a number of public meetings in the coming months to discuss the proposals but New Forest East MP, Conservative Dr Julian Lewis, said in a letter to Mr Cruddace that there were indications that the PCT was 'still determined upon closure-albeit after a less obviously sham consultation.'
The surgery is one of hundreds of smaller GP surgeries across the country facing the threat of closure in the country, amid the rise of polyclinics.
Thousands of patients have given their backing to Pulse's Save Our Surgeries Campaign, which has demanded a halt to enforced closures, and called for full consultation on all plans to reconfigure GP services.GP leaders back Pulse's campaign against enforced surgery closures GP leaders back Pulse's campaign against enforced surgery closures

School districts and many businesses are in uncharted territory when it comes to what you can and can't post on the Internet.
Gina Rubel lectures companies on the importance of having policies in place so their employees know what they can and can't do online.
And given what Central Bucks learned about a blog created by one of its teachers last week, school districts would be advised to get with the program.
"Companies need to get on the ball with creating social media policies," said Rubel, president and CEO of Doylestown-based Furia Rubel Communications. "Right now they are very far behind. There's a major risk-management issue in a majority of companies in the United States."
Natalie Munroe, a CB East English teacher, was suspended with pay from her $54,500 job last week for profanity-laced rants about students, co-workers and administrators on a blog she started in August 2009. She didn't name students in any of the posts reviewed by this newspaper.
Munroe admitted the blog, brought to the district's attention by students, is hers, according to district spokeswoman Carol Counihan.
CB administrators are investigating how much Munroe wrote when she was at work and using school computers. Superintendent N. Robert Laws said Munroe's deleting her blog at school Wednesday is a "violation" of district policy that dictates school computers be used only for school activities.
But what about the First Amendment, which protects an individual's freedom of speech? While that may not be an issue for a private sector employer, Munroe works for a public employer and she is a member of the teachers union that will go to bat for her.
"If this were a private employer we wouldn't even be talking," said Mary Catherine Roper, an attorney with the ACLU. She said non-government businesses can fire an employee for just about anything.
For a public employer, however, there's "always a balancing act in their role as the government versus their role as employer," Roper said. "It comes down to how much impact her speech is going to have in her workplace.
Roper called free speech a "very complicated area of the law. Each case is very much about the specific facts of that case."
"They come down on her like a ton of bricks but turn a blind eye toward others," he said.
Ludwig's point: Is Munroe the only one of nearly 1,400 district teachers using school computers on classroom time for non-school issues?
Like Rubel, he pointed to the need for a lawful, well-defined policy, negotiated with the union that's "applied in a uniform manner."
Even then, he said, "the First Amendment is going to trump policy."
On the other hand, Ludwig said, if someone wrote something "so disparaging or (was) a violation of the privacy rights of students, maybe they did go too far."
Wythe Keever, spokesman for the Pennsylvania State Education Association, a union representing public school teachers, said he couldn't comment because of potential litigation.
However, on its website, PSEA advises teachers that "Even though the First Amendment protects your speech as a private citizen on matters of public concern, that speech may fall outside of First Amendment protection if it 'impedes your employer's effectiveness or efficiency, or otherwise disrupts the workplace.' Avoid posting anything on your profile page about your colleagues, administrators, or students, as well as using inappropriate or profane messages or graphics, or anything that would reflect negatively on your workplace."
School districts are all over the map when it comes to developing policies for social media.
Hatboro-Horsham has a "pretty extensive acceptable use policy," according to John Nodecker, its assistant superintendent.
The day the Munroe story broke, Nodecker said he sent out an e-mail to the district staff as a "reminder to the sensitivity of electronic communications. It was a word of caution and advice."
Nodecker called the story a "good learning opportunity. We just have to be very, very sensitive to what we say."
Munroe's blog, he said, "was inappropriate."
Said Nordecker: "Teachers and students as well need to use good judgment and manners regardless of the communication medium. You need to be civilized at the keyboard. We have to look at the world very differently. These things are instantaneous and spread like wildfire. A new culture is starting to evolve."
She had a warning for anyone who writes online.
"Anything you say online can come back to haunt you," Rubel said. "Would you get up on megaphone in Times Square and say it? If you wouldn't, keep it to yourself. Either play it smart or don't play."

Henderson Law Firm prides itself on providing a high level of personal service. To speak to a lawyer, do not hesitate to call (314) 266-4400 or
Trust & Estate Litigation is a highly technical field involving fiduciary duties, capacity to make or amend a trust or will, prudent investors law, and other areas. There are many reasons that litigation surrounding a will or trust may become necessary:
A trustee is making poor decisions with respect to management of trust assets or refusing to distribute the assets of the trust according to its terms
A personal representative, administrator, or executor of an estate is failing to faithfully and fully discover all of the assets of the estate and properly administer them according to law or the terms of a final will
A final will, codicil, or trust has been created or amended by an elderly person that did not know what he or she was doing when it was executed
The terms of a trust or final will are amended such that an inequity has been created to those contributing property to the trust
If you have been disinherited or if you believe a trustee, executor of a will, or a personal representative or administrator of an estate is not handling things properly, please give us a call.
In November 2013, China began rejecting U.S. Corn shipments containing even trace amounts of Syngenta Viptera ® and Duracade TM genetically modified corn. These GMO crops were not approved by China prior to Syngenta releasing the seed for use by U.S. Farmers. Now, the entire U.S. Corn supply has been "contaminated" with these genetically mondified crops through cross-pollination and commingling of corn from different farms during transportation.
As a result, the price of all U.S. corn has suffered. It is estimated that China's rejection of U.S. corn has already cost the industry up to $2.9 Billion in damages. Major litigation is ramping up throughout the country.
We are currently conducting free evaluations for these cases. Please contact us at (314) 266-4400 to speak to a lawyer today.
We can help you with a full range of injury cases from dog bites to car accidents to nursing home abuse and other medical malpractice. If you feel that you have been injured as a result of someone else's wrongdoing, call or contact us through this website immediately to discuss your case with a qualified personal injury attorney.
If you have been injured in a car or trucking accident, the first phone call should be to the police. An accurate report of what happened during the accident is the most important part of a successful recovery. You should also immediately seek medical attention for any injuries you have sustained. Oftentimes in an emergency room environment, pain that is not immediately life-threatening is overlooked. However, that does not mean that you may still be seriously injured that will require medical correction in the future. Try to accurately describe everything you are feeling to the physicians and, if you are still not feeling quite right after you leave, follow up with your general practitioner to assess any conditions that emergency room personnel may have missed. Do not give any statements to insurance adjusters. Hire an attorney to take care of this part of your case. In almost every case, you will not know all of the information about what happened, especially early-on. Making additional statements without getting a chance to see what the police actually wrote in the report, and what the other driver(s) and/or witnesses said to the officers at the scene is almost always a bad idea. Visit our Legal Blog for more information about Automobile and Trucking Accident Cases.
If you are injured while working for your employer, you will in most cases be entitled to a number of different benefits. You will be entitled to have your medical care and rehabilitative costs paid for, and receive compensation for time off work. Employers are usually very good about providing these benefits to you once you have reported the injury and they determine that it a compensable injury. However, there are other benefits that you will be entitled to in the case of a compensable injury that they usually will not offer to you without taking some additional action of your own. These benefits are known as Temporary Partial Disability, Temporary Total Disability, Permanent Partial Disability, Permanent Total Disability, and Death Benefits. A workers compensation lawyer can be of great benefit to you by ensuring that your receive any of these benefits to which you may be entitled. In addition, a workers compensation attorney will be able to help you get the medical care you need. Employers have the choice of which medical provider to send you to for treatment (the "company doctor"). Unfortunately, the doctors hired by the employers do not always agree that certain injuries were caused by the work-related accident or that as much disability has resulted from the work accident. A workers compensation lawyer will be able to help you get a second opinion and challenge the findings of the "company doctor" and this will help to ensure that you recover everything you deserve.
If you have fallen and suffered an injury, there are many situations in which you may be able to recover from the property owner or its insurance company for your injuries sustained as result of the dangerous condition of the property. A property owner has a duty to maintain the property in manner so as not to create an unreasonable risk of harm to others. This includes taking reasonable measures to remove or adequately warn of slipping and tripping hazards.
Wrongful Death is a broad practice area that encompasses many other areas of the law. In the olden days, there was no cause of action if the negligence or intentional tort resulted in death. The theory was that the cause of action belonged to the injured person only, and extinguished when that person passed away. Obviously this resulted in extreme injustice where the basis for the tort was also the cause of death. Fortunately, the Missouri Legislature has made it possible for family members to sue for the loss of a family member. Section 537.080, RSMo. states:
Whenever the death of a person results from any act, conduct, occurrence, transaction, or circumstance which, if death had not ensued, would have entitled such person to recover damages in respect thereof, the person or party who, or the corporation which, would have been liable if death had not ensued shall be liable in an action for damages, notwithstanding the death of the person injured, which damages may be sued for....
As a result, family members have the right to pursue many types of cases ranging from auto accidents to premises liability to medical malpractice that result in their loved one's death. There are special procedures that must be followed both in bringing these actions and when distributing the recovery to the family members entitled to the proceeds. Our injury lawyers are experienced with these procedures and can help bring a meaningful recovery to you for the loss of your family member.

I just realized that this section hasn't been updated since about 2012. Going into 2015, I thought it was time for an update. Let's see... I'm still married and still have my 2 kiddos. But now, I'm rolling up on 35 in February. The good news is, I've stayed with moderate eating and activity and my weight is now in the 170's on average. I need to work on that last 20, and I guess that is what I will be doing. I'm not ending 2014 on a 'high' note as far as weight goes, but everything else about this year has gone pretty well. I've been finding creative outlets, finishing projects, having fun with the fam, and purging the house of stuff we don't need. All in all, it's been successful and I hope the same for the coming year. One thing you may notice that is different about my blog vs. just a few years ago is that I don't fully focus on weight loss anymore. While it is important to me, as I get older I've been seeing that all of the other parts of me are just as important if not more so. I want to be healthy and active, but I also like discovering fun ways to let out my creativity, getting rid of debt, and organizing. Then, of course, there is just the fact that it's awesome to have somewhere to go to talk about the random, and sometimes overwhelming, things that pop into my head!
*From the old 3FC Blog*
I know this is the place where I am suppose to talk about myself so that everyone can get to know me. So, here's the story. I am a married woman with two children. I use to work, but since having my kiddos, I have been staying at home with them. I am 5'4'', 32, and I started out my journey this time weighing in at 216.5lbs. as of 12/26/2010. I have an hourglass shape, so overall, I carry my weight pretty well. I started out in at the end of 2010 and then 2011 with lowered carbs.
This was not my first time doing low carb. The first time was back in '04. I was diagnosed with PCOS and researched that low carb was pretty much the way to go if I wanted to get my health in order. I started right away and lost 25 pounds pretty fast. Then, I found out I was preggo after trying for 3yrs.! After my child was born, I decided that I would go with the flow and worry about my weight later. Too much going on then with a new baby, military life, moves, etc. So, after we moved the last time and got settled, I jumped back on LC and over the course of just a few months, lost a little over 40lbs. bringing me to a low of 184. My high before that was 226.5. I only saw that low number one time. But I maintained my weight for a while bouncing between 186 and 192 until we decided to try for a baby again since the first time had taken so long. THIS time, I got preggo on the first try! SO, now I have had my second child and had so many family issues I let my weight creep up on me. I tend to be an emotional eater. My weight had dropped back down to 199-203 after my baby. I wish I had stayed there or kept losing! But it quickly went up. It is completely due to laziness because it would've been easy to stick to LC IF I had really wanted to. But it was just 'easier' for me to eat the junk I knew wasn't good for me. The day after Christmas, I decided it was time to start watching what I was eating and monitoring the carbs. I was 216.5 when I stepped on the scale. I did lose some -- 4.0lbs.(212.5) in January. By my first Feb. weigh-in, it was back up to 216.5. But by the end of 2 months I had lost just 6lbs. That means I only lost 2lbs. for February! The first week or so of March, I decided to drop my carbs down to under 40g to try to get the weight moving. I stuck to my plan for all of March and part of April until I stalled out... AGAIN. At that point, I sat and sat and SAT at the same weight. After much frustration, I went off plan for a few days and then came back on plan at pretty much Atkins Induction levels. Suddenly, I had a HUGE drop. So, I decided to try carb cycling. I had heard of it before and I did some reading and decided that I could do this. I could have a cheat day now and then and then come back. For the month of May, I was able to maintain even with a big vacay to Disney for 2 weeks!
After bouncing around for a while and stalling once more, I knew that the issue was that I was burned out on low carb. I was in a rut. So, I've now gone to low cal. I still try to stick to mostly LC type foods, but I do eat WAY more carbs than before. I try to stick with 3 meals at 400 each and then 2 snacks at 200 each equaling another 400. At the end of the day, I'm at 1600 cals. I may go over a bit and be closer to 1700. I call this 4 Square, LOL. I know this may seem high for some, but I'm doing this nice and slow so that will have to do.
Now it's 2012 and I ended 2011 at 196.5 after the holidays. That means that even with all the ups and downs last year, I lost 20 pounds! I know that may not be ideal for some, but statistically speaking, I am happy with ending the year lower than I started it. And I hope to do the same this year. For now, I am still doing my version of low cal that I call 4 Square but I've hit some kinks. I am hoping they get worked out soon, though. I have to stay positive and keep moving forward.
Well, that's it for now. I plan on updating this every so often just so that it's current. So, don't be surprised when you see it has been changed! Good luck to all of us chickies!

In the age which we stay there is an unprecedented deal with getting and staying healthy. As an increasing number of analysis factors to the effect of health and vitamin on our total health, the findings grow to be more difficult to ignore. There is no such thing as a doubt that the meals that we eat and the physical exercise that we carry out considerably impact our weight and our body's general health and longevity. This must be the purpose of the global political awakening: to achieve peace via peaceable means. If everyone in the world merely decided to no longer acknowledge individuals and positions of power, that power would vanish. If there isn't a military, as a result of the troopers determined to not acknowledge the government, there isn't any one to pull the set off on individuals in the street.

And, if HHS does have to step in and implement an trade itself, what notice will it have? In states like Florida which have refused to take part, HHS will—a minimum of in principle—have sufficient time to implement a federal exchange (however presumably little state cooperation). The more difficult conditions will happen in states that have committed to implementation but whose efforts are discovered to be not on time or failing to meet HHS rules. Assuming that no less than a dozen states will either refuse to implement exchanges or—intentionally or not—stall their efforts, and that several other states will encounter critical development or implementation problems, HHS is likely to have its fingers very full certainly.

The corresponding problems for first order complex equations with singular coefficients are first discussed, and then the problems for second order complex equations are considered, where we pose the new partial derivative notations and complex analytic methods such that the forms of the above first order complex equations in hyperbolic and elliptic domains are wholly identical. In the meantime, the estimates of solutions for the above problems are obtained, hence many open problems including the above Tricomi Bers and Tricomi Frankl Rassias problems can be solved.
Contents: Elliptic Complex Equations of First Order; Elliptic Complex Equations of Second Order; Hyperbolic Complex Equations of First and Second Orders; First Order Complex Equations of Mixed Type; Second Order Linear Equations of Mixed Type; Second Order Quasilinear Equations of Mixed Type.

It looks like Algoa Bay's Bottlenose Dolphins finally got the memo that there are more than just a few of them in the bay.
Whilst drone filming along a beach break in Port Elizabeth, Rainer Schimpf from Expert Tours followed some Bottlenose Dolphins and to his surprise saw a Great White Shark in the surf as well.
When viewing the drone footage you will see adult Bottlenose Dolphins (Adults can be up to 3.5 meters in length) chasing a Great White Shark (estimated at 5 meters in length) through the surf.
Probably secure in their numbers these Bottlenose Dolphins show no respect for this apex predator and chase him off into the murky waters of breaking waves and sand, only to return to continue hunting fish in the surf.

The Department of Asian Languages and Cultures participates in the LSA Summer Language Institute during the Spring and Summer terms. Typically, courses in Chinese and Japanese are offered. Intensive first- and second-year language courses condense two terms of language study into a ten-week format; they provide an excellent means for the students to prepare for a study, internship, or work abroad experience, graduate school, or for expanded career opportunites. In certain years, the department offers Chinese and Japanese pedagogy courses for those interested in either refining or acquiring skills in teaching language. The courses draw on materials created by experts in the field and allow for regular application of the theories and methodologies learned in class.
2019 SLI Courses
- ASIANLAN 450.101 - Japanese Pedagogy
10-Week Intensive Language: June 3 - August 9, 2019
- ASIANLAN 103.201 - Intensive First Year Chinese
- ASIANLAN 127.201 - Intensive First Year Japanese
- ASIANLAN 203.201 - Intensive Second Year Chinese

Types of Admission
SLI courses are open to all types of students - enrolled UM undergraduate/graduate students, upper-level high school students, members of the community, UM professors and staff, and others.
Students who choose this option plan to take the SLI course for transcript/university credit. They will pay tuition and will have the course and the grade earned recorded on a University of Michigan transcript at the conclusion of the course.
UM students wishing to take a course for credit should email email@example.com to request an override. The email should include the following:
- student's full name
- uniqname
- UM ID number
- language background (if any)
- a brief explanation of what course they wish to take and why
Non-UM students interested in taking a course for credit should visit lsa.umich.edu/sli for more information on the application process.
No Credit/Program Fee
Students who choose this option do not want to receive any credit and simply want to gain proficiency in the language. They will pay a program fee (posted by credits on the SLI website) and receive a certificate of completion at the conclusion of the course. No transcript proof of enrollment in the course will be available.
Students (both UM and non-UM) wishing to take the course as program fee/not for credit through the LSA Summer Language Institute should see lsa.umich.edu/sli for more information on the application process.

When it comes to writing your CV first impressions are everything, so choose your font wisely as whichever one you go for says a lot about you.
It used to be that Times New Roman was the preferred font for most correspondence. Although it looks practical and is much used in books and newspapers, it now looks very dated and has fallen out of favour.
Times New Roman was followed by Arial as the font du jour. Arial is a plain, evenly spaced font and is one of several recommended by the British Dyslexia Association to make text easier to read for dyslexics. However, Arial has also faded in popularity and, when Microsoft Office changed its default font, it was replaced by Calibri. This was done to improve readability on screen (as opposed to in print) and to make documents look more modern.
This is the font I always use when writing CVs for my clients as it's easy to read and, above all, looks professional.
I've seen CVs, however, written in a multitude of inappropriate fonts including Comic Sans, which is just too informal and childlike for business documentation, and various script fonts which, although they look like handwriting of the neatest kind, are best reserved for wedding invitations and not for your CV.
When it comes to preparing a CV or letter think about which font will be easiest to read and choose the one which best conveys the image you want to portray. Once you've chosen the font (and font size) you're going to use for your CV – STICK WITH IT!! I've seen too many CVs that have different fonts of different sizes throughout.
You only have one chance to make a good first impression with your CV so don't blow it!!

"The arrival of vast, alien, inhuman intelligences reshaped the landscape fo human affairs across the world, and the United Kingdom is no exception. Things have changed in Britain since the dread elder god Nyarlathotep ascended to the rank of Prime Minister. Mhari Murphy, recently elevated to the House of Lords and head of the Lords Select Committee on Sanguinary Affairs (think vampires), finds herself in direct consultation with the creeping chaos, who directs her to lead a team of disgraced Laundry personnel into the dark heart of America. It seems the Creeping Chaos is concerned about foreign relations. A thousand-mile-wild storm system has blanketed the midwest, and the President is nowhere to be found. In fact, for reasons unknown the people of America are forgetting that the executive branch ever existed. The government has been infiltrated by the shadowy Black Chamber, and the Pentagon and NASA have been refocused on the problem of summoning Cthulhu. Somewhere, the Secret Service battle to stay awake, to remind the President who he is, and to stay one step ahead of the vampiric dragnet that's searching for him" --

Dear Students,
Over the past decade, our country's industries have been challenged by competition from both within as well as outside. Our communication industries have been no exception whether it is television or print. On the other hand, our creative advertising professionals and journalists have been acclaimed far and wide. Such healthy, globalized competition has resulted in booming stock markets, and upbeat mood.
Media has had a vital role to play in our transformation, and even more importantly, in our self-perception as a nation. The projection of India as a burgeoning economy and a lucrative marketplace would not have been possible without a dynamic and supportive media.
Facing up to these new challenges requires new and dynamic strategies, structures, cultures, compensations, processes, innovation and above all, leadership. Our future communicators will have to provide much of these new directions, in search of new ground in advertising, or creating new communicative paradigms, or exploring new ways of reaching audiences in distinctive and responsible ways.
Ranked among the top 30 business schools in infrastructure and industry interface, Indira is poised to greater growth now. At the core of Indira's philosophy lies the conviction that we must be multi-skilled and multi-task oriented. We need to translate our dynamism into the knowledge that students acquire with us. Our motto is to keep ourselves abreast of industry trends, and provide quality answers to the demands of industry environment. To do so, we have at Indira always strived to facilitate the learning environment to create better professionals. We pride ourselves on high-quality infrastructure to meet the ever-growing demands of technology, and on our uncompromising stand on meeting student requirements. For example, our campuses are now fully wired on fibre optic-based broadband technology, ensuring speed and efficiency.
Our new mass communication building, a state-of-the-art building with more than 30,000 square feet of builtup space, was constructed at lightning speed to meet the ongoing needs of this growing institute. This, along with the modern studio, equipment and faculty make ISC easily one of the best-equipped communication institutes. I have no doubts that we will soon transform ISC into one of the most coveted institutes in Asia.
We are constantly searching for excellence, and I welcome all students who would like to share that commitment with us. ISC promises to flourish with the guidance of our accomplished Director, and with students who are keen to learn and contribute.
Thank you for considering Indira School of Communication.

Are you anxious about getting into those pants come New Years Party? Is your New Years Resolution weight centric? Rest assured you are not alone. There are many out there as baffled as you are about how to stay fit despite the innumerable temptations that Indian winters offer.
Many of us think winter is the time to gain lots of weight therefore there is no point of diet monitoring during winter. Contrary to this thought, its seen that people who eat sensible during winters easily lose more number of kilo as compared to same efforts during summer time.
Why its easier to lose weight in winter?
During cold weather, our body has to work harder to maintain the body temperature and to keep us warm. Without it, our core temperature would drop, and we would begin to suffer from hypothermia!
By working harder, the metabolism is burning more calories. Therefore its a natural process of body to burn calories. Just by making smart food choices you can aggravate the calorie burning process and easily achieve your weight loss goals.
Some tips to make you achieve your weight loss goal during winter are:
- Have low calorie hot bowl of soup before meals or in between meals.
- Eat handful of nuts as a snack or include it as a part of breakfast.
- Include more of low fat protein rich food sources in your each meal, like low fat paneer/curd, whole pulse, boiled egg whites etc.
- Eat five to six small meals rather than having large potion twice a day.
Go for regular workouts, winter is best time to make your inside strong.
Are you one of them who are making weight loss, a new year resolution this year?
Join our result oriented diet program which gives you upto 4 kg weight loss per month by following healthy diet.
Call or whatsapp if you have any query regarding our service or visit http://allaboutdiets.in/registration-form/ to join our unique Weight loss Diet program.
Before you set yourself on a regime, understanding the human physiology during winters is quintessential. A drop in outside temperature is not responsible for overeating. That old hibernation theory of needing more calories to get you through a harsh winter does not hold up.The problem is pivoted around behavior and scrumptious delicacies we are exposed to during this time. In addition we socialize more during holiday season as a result of which consumption of alcohol goes up. Also the colder & shorter days make it difficult for us to stay motivated and venture outside for exercise thereby gluing us to television screens.
The key to succeed in biting cold is to keep moving and keeping the hunger levels in check. However beneath is your guide for easy weight management during winters
1) Shorten your session- do not skip your workout regimen if you are preoccupied with something. Instead shorten the duration and increase the perspiration.
2) Get creative indoors- the fog and chill outside might make you change your mind. Ensure that you stay active by engaging in activities like staircase climbing, yoga, martial arts etc.
3) Be consistent with fitness tracker- if you have been avoiding the pedometer of late, now is the time to be regular and aim for minimum 10000 steps per day in the event of missing exercise regime
4) Move more, eat less – attend parties that aren't just limited to cocktails and food. Indulge in activities like ice skating that are high on fitness and fun quotient. Drinks and dinner may follow suit
5) Water intake in check- do not confuse thirst with hunger. Keep a water bottle with you at all times and stay hydrated.
6) Protein adequacy- power packed proteins like sprouts, roasted black gram, cheese cubes, besan cheela, nutrela if included in your winter diet will provide more satiety and keep blood sugar levels in check. Snacking on these is a good idea as well
7) Be Carb Smart- filling carbs like veggies or those that contain protein and fiber should form the bulk of carb intake as they lead to satiety. Rice, pasta, breads should be consumed in moderation and after workouts when they can be appropriately utilized by our bodies
8) Never skip meals- do not skip your luncheon thinking you can overeat at the night party. This will
Only lead to your body going into starvation mode and not utilizing the feast either at night.
9) Remember no meal is the last meal- just because you are out celebrating doesnt mean you wont get food after that. Keep your portion size in check
10) Sleep- ensure that you get a good night's sleep on a regular basis.
11) Learn to say no- declining the second helping would not make you rude. So remember why you are eating and when to decline.
These steps if followed religiously will go a long way in ensuring you stay fit and will make your winters guilt free.

VinumTerra implements Datel's Sage 200 mobile app: Fusion Go!
VinumTerra implements Datel's Sage 200 mobile app: Fusion Go!
17th August 2016
VinumTerra are trade-only wine merchants, specialising in the import and distribution of a portfolio of wines from around the world since 1991. The business currently represents 85 estates and 267 wines to wholesalers and retailers from its bases in London and Edinburgh.
VinumTerra's producers are mainly small to medium-sized estates, frequently owned and run by the same families for generations, and the business prides itself in frequently being the only importer of these wines to the UK.
Since opening its doors 25 years ago, VinumTerra's speciality has been the wines of Italy. Recently, however, the business extended its European reach and is now working with a unique range of vineyards that offer more diversity to the new international range, creating about 25 different wine lists from all around the world.
Angelo Cane, Managing Director at VinumTerra, discusses the business' recent decision to expand its reach: "It was in September last year that we started to see just how much VinumTerra had grown in recent years. Our customer base had expanded significantly, covering international restaurants, hotels and gastro pubs, with a client portfolio of over 250 organisations – including British Airways and M&S.
"To accommodate the diverse needs of our growing customer base, and continue to provide the unique wines VinumTerra had become so renowned for, we realised that it was time to expand from strictly Italian products and offer a more varied range of international wines to customers. We have already introduced a selection of new wines from different countries, and our commitment for the next few years is to continue to expand this.
"However, for this to be possible, it's essential that we have the right systems and processes in place to enable us to successfully store, market and sell these new products."
VinumTerra has been a customer of Datel's for some time now, using Sage 200, implemented and supported by Datel's Sage 200 consultants, to manage the core business processes and products.
"As VinumTerra is growing and we are diversifying our product portfolio, we are always on the lookout for ways to make our internal processes and tasks more efficient," Angelo continues. "Particularly, we were starting to realise that there was room for improvement in the availability of up-to-date information on stock, credit control and account details when visiting our customers.
"If we are attending a meeting – for example, on a customer's own site – we would need to log in and access the server from a laptop in order to bring up their account information. But, in terms of locating and signing into the VPN, this was quite a time-consuming exercise, and wasn't always entirely reliable. The data we would be referencing was also potentially out of date, so the lack of real-time updates was also an issue for us.
"So, when we were invited by Datel to attend one of their Collaboration Network events last year specifically to discuss the topic of mobility and Sage solutions, we took the opportunity to have a discussion with them about the experiences we were having."
Datel's Collaboration Network is a series of networking events that give Datel's customers and non-customers alike the opportunity to meet and interact with likeminded businesses, with a focus on a specific topic at each event. The events help to give Datel's team the opportunity to gain insight into customers' needs, and offer the chance to have input on future technology at Datel.
"The event involved a discussion between several of Datel's customers – including us – as well as members of Datel's Research and Development team," Angelo explains. "As users of Sage 200's software day-to-day, we were asked to give our own opinions and thoughts on how the mobility of the software could be improved, and the types of features we would be looking for from a Sage 200 mobile app."
Angelo provided his ideas to Datel during the session, which was soon after followed by a visit from Datel on site to VinumTerra in order to begin building and mapping out the subsequent app.
"The process of building the app was really quite fast, and Datel's team worked quickly to create a functional version of a Sage 200 mobile app for us to use, test, and provide feedback on," Angelo explains. "We began using the as-then-unnamed app day-to-day, and immediately found that it was incredibly useful to us.
"I am a salesman myself, so I know exactly the problems our sales team faces when visiting customers on-site, so it was very beneficial to communicate with Datel directly to provide feedback while we trialled the app."
The finished app was implemented across VinumTerra in May, and named 'Fusion: Go!' The app serves as a key addition to Datel's growing Fusion product range, designed to make life easier for businesses using Sage's business management software by giving users access to essential data about the customer base, business prospects and product range, with up-to-the-minute accuracy on an international scale.
This specially-designed app enables more efficient, streamlined and secure access to the data held in businesses' Sage Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, empowering sales staff and key players to make decisions on the move.
"Personally, I'm very happy with the app," Angelo concludes. "With Fusion Go!, now all we need is 4G or a WiFi connection and we're good to go. We are experiencing significant benefit from the app; when we visit customers on-site, our team and customers can quickly and easily see what is available to buy from us, at which price, and their current situation with credit control. Fusion Go! really is a big help to VinumTerra's growth plans in coming years."
For Datel, Sales Director Andrew Pritchard comments: "Fusion Go! is the direct result of Datel's continued commitment to collaborating with our customers and businesses of all sizes and industries to create purpose-built solutions that combat real problems. We're very pleased that Angelo and his sales team is finding the new mobile app so useful day-to-day, and that it's providing the visibility, speed and ease needed to propel the business' growth forward."
"We are experiencing significant benefit from the app; when we visit customers on-site, our team and customers can quickly and easily see what is available to buy from us, at which price, and their current situation with credit control. Fusion Go! really is a big help to VinumTerra's growth plans in coming years."
