Momma Ginger was a fanatic about sheets,so Miss Ginger learned a lot about them from her. Momma G once told her "Ginger dear, you probably won't grow up to be much of a looker, so you'd better learn to keep a spotless house if you ever want a man!" Well, jokes on her- 'cause I'm a knockout, I don't WANT a man, and my house is immaculate!
Momma G was a white sheet gal- only white sheets, always washed in bleach. 5 boys at different stages of puberty... bleachability was a high priority for her! Miss Ginger, not so much! But she and Shelby appreciate the sanctity of "clean sheet night", and look forward to it every week!
One of the best things Momma G taught Miss Ginger is how to fold a fitted sheet. Can you do it? Let's see if you are doing it right! (Sidenote: do you know how hard it is to fold a sheet and take pictures of yourself doing it?!) Anyho, you start with a mess like this, fresh out of the dryer ("Don't let them sit in the dryer", says Momma G. "If you do, you'll never get those wrinkles out!"
Now, follow the edge of the sheet down from your fist to the next corner. Put your right fist on the outside of that corner, and turn it inside-out as you bring your hands together. Once it is inside out, nest it inside the first corner. Do this 2 more times, and if you do it right, it will look like this:
Now I'm going to lay it out on the dining room table so I can take pictures. You may be able to do this part without laying it out, but really, it's so much easier to lay it on the bed or a table at this point....
Now, take the edge closest to you, and fold it up, lining up the straight edge on the right side (and concealing the messy left side within the fold!) Now, grab the far side and flip it over, placing the folded edge away from you. This brings this squarest side to the bottom.
Smooth everything out as best you can (no need to be OCD at this point) and fold it toward the middle, in thirds.
Fold the right third over the other two, making a nice, neat package.
Fold it one more time away from you, and you're done! Nice and neat, ready to stack in your linen closet!I've got lots more "sheet shit" coming your way, so stay tuned!

Great quote from William Golding just popped up on 'Quote of the Day' on my customised Google homepage:

Great quote from William Golding just popped up on 'Quote of the Day' on my customised Google homepage:
Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
A Good Day to Die is Kernick's fourth book, and it brings back the anti-hero of the first, disgraced ex-copper Dennis Milne.
(Clicking the book cover takes you to Amazon – the commission helps fund Palimpsest)
Kernick's books are a real strange mix, and I haven't come across anything quite like them before. On one level, they are pretty standard thrillers, written with plot and pace in mind and conciously without any kind of literary embellishments.
But there are two things which set these apart from other books in the genre. Firstly, a rich vein of black humour runs throughout the book, and the numerous sarcastic asides do raise a smile on the face of the reader; which is all the more surprising given the second standout feature of Kernick's work which is the sheer grimness of the subject matter. It really is heard to imagine a light-hearted romp involving murderous paedophile gangs, but that really is what this book is (kind of). So you have this real contradiction between style and content, but somehow it just works. I breezed through it in the space of a few hours reading time, I would say, and it's a clear improvement on the earlier books and a good, no-nonsense read.
The BBC are running a trial offering some of their radio programmes as downloads, effectively making them podcasts. Might give this a go for some of the more interesting stuff.
Mark Kermode's film reviews might well become a regular listen.
Palimpsest has a book group, discussing books read by all the members in a topic on the forum. It has worked really well in the past, but recently has fallen behind a little.
To try and perk things up a bit it was decided that instead of choosing books month-by-month, 6 books should be chosen to cover half a year's group reading, meaning that everyone knows where they stand. After various discussions and slightly complicated voting systems, the final selection looks like this:
Some pretty challenging stuff there!
Go to a personaliseable (!) version of Google at www.google.com/ig. It's actually pretty good. You have to log in with your Google ID and password, for example your gmail username, and you can set out various bits of info to have on your screen, as well as the Google search box.
The screen is split into 3 columns. On the left I have a list of favourite links, a preview of my Gmail inbox, a 'Word of the Day' thing and the latest feed from Slashdot. In the centre I have a few blogs which I like to monitor regularly. The latest 3 posts in each appear here. Any RSS feed can be subscribed to. On the rightermost (!) column I have various news site feeds, including the BBC and Google News.
When I get home I will stick an image of what my screen looks like. It makes for an excellent homepage.
Great quote from H.G. Wells in amner's review of The Island of Dr Moreau by H.G. Wells.
An animal may be ferocious and cunning enough, but it takes a real man to tell a lie.
One of the great things about Palimpsest is the way it throws up quality discussions about authors I have never heard of. And it brings together fans of that author that might not otherwise ever get to discuss his (or her) work with a fellow devotee.
This happened most recently with Richard Yates. Follow this link to the thread and enjoy. I am certainly going to invest in some Yates in the near future.
Interesting profile of the Austrailian philosopher Peter Singer in last Saturday's Guardian Review. I remember reading a book of his for an essay on Practical Ethics for A-Level R.E.
George W Bush and Peter Singer were born on the same day – July 6 1946. But there the similarity ends. Only one is an Australian vegetarian who campaigns against animal cruelty and does not believe in the Judaeo-Christian nostrum of the sanctity of life. Only one supports abortion and infanticide in some cases and backs stem-cell research that uses genetic material from embryos. Only one thinks the world would be better if the US were subject to UN sanctions for emitting more than its fair share of greenhouse gases.
And yet there are parallels. In his 2003 book The President of Good and Evil: Taking George W Bush Seriously, Singer quoted from one of Bush's speeches: "Some people think it's inappropriate to make moral judgments anymore. Not me." To which Singer added: "Well, not me either, so that is one view about morality on which the president and I agree." Both men, in an age of seeming moral relativism and selfishness, insist on the overwhelming importance of moral renewal.
That book nonetheless argued that Bush's ethics consisted mostly of hypocrisy and intellectual confusion. By contrast, Singer stresses that his moral philosophy is the product of cold logic. Singer concedes his views are often upsetting for Bush supporters. "In a Christian society we have views about the sanctity of life that were formed in a totally different period when we didn't have to make decisions about embryos or whether you should keep people alive who are irrevocably unconscious. People get stuck with this ethic from the past, which has not been able to adapt itself to other circumstances because it has been encapsulated in a set of religious beliefs."
Went camping this weekend in Montford Bridge. Here's a few photos we took. Comments below each one.
Here's the inside view of the middle living area of our tent.

This might well be the bridge that gives Montford Bridge its name.

Cincinnati Reds
Baseball trade built for two
CINCINNATI — It's fodder for a barroom argument: Who made out better when the Texas Rangers traded Edinson Volquez and Danny Herrera to the Reds for outfielder Josh Hamilton?
So far, the Dec. 21, 2007, deal has been great for both teams. Hamilton is a Triple Crown candidate in Texas, while Volquez is 9-2 with a 1.64 ERA. He's been a lights-out, front-of-the-rotation pitcher, who is only 24 years old. Meanwhile, Hamilton, 27, is batting .319 with 18 homers and 72 RBI playing center field in Texas.
Is it more valuable to have an everyday potential superstar in your lineup or an every-fifth-day dominating starting pitcher?
Let the debate go on.
Suffice to say, both teams are happy with the outcome.
From the Rangers' perspective, they have never been able to develop top-of-the-line pitching. Even when they have, either injuries or the brutal Texas heat have taken a toll on their prospects. Everyday players also tend to wear down and fade as the summer gets hotter. Some scouts will argue that you can always find a hitter, but a front-line starter is tough to come by.
Former Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky decided to roll the dice at the time, feeling he had Jay Bruce on the horizon to go along with Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn. Krivsky used Hamilton as the key chip in acquiring pitching.
The Reds had Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo at the top of their rotation, but they clearly needed more. So Krivsky and Texas GM Jon Daniels made the deal, neither one at the time figuring Volquez would be a No. 1 starter (he had been 3-11 in parts of three seasons in Texas) or Hamilton (who hit .292 with 19 homers and 47 RBI in his only major-league season), a Triple Crown candidate. But that's precisely where we are.
While the trade has helped both teams, neither club appears to be going anywhere this season. The deal was made for long-term results. The Reds can build around Bruce and a young staff anchored by Volquez, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey. And between now and when maturity sets in, Volquez will fuel the debate more and more. Particularly if he is the next Pedro Martínez.

How to do a Medication Reconciliation
Editor's Note: After a long hiatus, we're very happy to welcome back Stephanie Kujawski, PharmD, BCPS. You may remember her from her phenomenal posts on kinetics, vancomycin, aminoglycosides, and phenytoin. Oh, also, she helped us write Mastering the Match. Yeah, she's pretty much awesome.
Anyway, today she's going to teach us the ins and outs of doing a med rec. These are becoming increasingly important (and difficult) in our world, so read on and get learned. Thanks, Steph!
Medication Reconciliation – How Can It Possibly Be THIS Hard?!
When Brandon asked me if I'd write a post about medication reconciliation (aka med rec), I actually laughed out loud.
Not because I regularly laugh at Brandon (rather with Brandon), but because, much like Prince John's quiet machinations to take Richard's throne, med rec has literally been insidiously creeping in to take over my work life for the past few months.
So it was a timely request, to say the least!
How can this topic usurp my work life, you ask. Well, I suppose we should start back with some definitions, and then I'll try to illustrate some of the areas where something that seems oh-so-simple becomes oh-so-complicated. Hence, the aforementioned coup.
What is a Med Rec?
So if I was to describe med rec to my non-healthcare system mom, I'd tell her that it's a term used to encompass all the decisions made about a person's medications when they change level or location of care.
This includes:
- When a person is admitted to the hospital from home or a facility
- When that patient is transferred from the ICU to the general medicine floor (and maybe even back to the ICU again…)
- When the patient is discharged from the hospital to their home or a facility
- And even after the patient is home and following up with his Primary Care Provider (PCP)
In each of these settings, a person may require various medications or doses that may or may not be their norm.
For example, the septic patient in the ICU may need stress dose intravenous hydrocortisone, but by the time they've improved enough to transfer to the floor, maybe they don't need such high doses (or at least not IV) anymore.
So each time the patient moves, a provider should review the medication list and decide what is still necessary versus what can be stopped or adjusted. This review and decision process is medication reconciliation. Seems pretty straight-forward and simple, right?
So many areas where things can go awry!
In the spirit of trying to keep this as organized as possible, I'll just say that, in the remainder of this post, we're going to discuss the whos, whats, hows, and whens of med rec.
And we're going to follow my favorite patient again. Why can't Han just stay out of trouble??
A Case Study in Medication Reconciliation
Han was flying around the universe with Chewbacca in the Millenium Falcon when all of a sudden he developed severe chest pain and shortness of breath.
Chewy rapidly contacted Rebel 911, who brought him back to solid ground in their ambulance ship, and Han was rushed to the nearest medical center.
Han is now lying in a bed in the emergency room, when Nurse Leia enters to greet him (she's multitalented, k?).
So at this point, the medical team needs to know more about Han. Including if he takes any medications at home so they can decide what to order for him as an inpatient or whether any of his home medications could be contributing to his current clinical picture.
But what if 4 other patients came into the ER at the same time? Who is the highest priority, and how is that decided?
This is a question for which we don't really have a well-defined answer. Prioritization of patients both in the ER and on the hospital floors is difficult!
Many institutions utilize some sort of scheme, which might include:
- Length of time from admission
- Acuity of the patient
- Number of medications on a prior medication list
- Risk of readmission
But these aren't exactly validated schemes or parameters, and further work is needed to determine how to prioritize taking a patient's medication history.
Also, who should be the one to ask Han about his home meds? Should it be Nurse Leia, Dr. Spock, or pharmacy personnel? If pharmacy, should it be a pharmacist, a pharmacy technician, or a pharmacy student? Does it matter?
If all 3 disciplines ask him about his home medications, will everyone end up with the exact same list?
Unfortunately, odds are that each person will walk away with a different list, especially if Han has an extensive list of medications.
Plus, what if Nurse Leia asks him early in his ER visit when his chest pain is still 10/10 and concentrating on anything is out of the question?
But is it really better for the pharmacy technician to try to get this information when his chest pain has abated…with the help of morphine?
Or will that leave him too loopy or sleepy to be reliable? So then should they get a Wookie translator and try to ask Chewy?
It's easy to see how the reliability of the home medication list can vary greatly depending on what's happening with a patient, whether family is around, and a patient's baseline knowledge about what he is actually taking.
So why not wait until Han's been admitted and feeling better a couple of days later on the inpatient floor?
Honestly, by that point, you may have missed the boat. What if Han's missing a crucial home med or we've been giving him the wrong med or dose for 3 days straight?? Eek, you say!
This unfortunately happens.
A lot.
Not to mention that The Joint Commission is looking for medication histories to be completed within 24 hours of admission. So if you want to stay in their good graces (and keep your hospital accredited), then that's the metric you're aiming for.
How to Ask Questions During a Med Rec
The actual questions you ask (and how you ask them) is so crucial that it warrants further discussion.
You may get very different answers depending on whether you ask Han, "Do you take your metoprolol once a day?" or "How do you take your metoprolol?"
The latter's where you uncover that, OMG, Han's been taking his long-acting metoprolol 3 times a day. Whereas if you just ask the first question, Han is
possibly just going to agree with you, perhaps due to pressure of sounding confidently knowledgeable about his meds, not wanting to be "wrong."
Or he just doesn't know.
Maybe he didn't get paid for his last (questionably legal) job, and he hasn't been able to pay for his medications for the past 2 months.
This is why open ended questions are crucial for gleaning as much information as possible!
This is also why using MULTIPLE resources to complete a medication history is ideal. Meaning call the patient's filling pharmacy – or pharmacies – to obtain a fill history and specific formulations.
This is where you can confirm that Han was really prescribed metoprolol succinate once daily (even though he is adamant that he takes it 3 times a day). But then the filling pharmacy also tells you that he recently had a script for metoprolol tartrate TID, just 2 months ago.
HINT: intervention and education necessary here!
What Resources to Use During a Med Rec
Other resources can be used to play pharmacy detective. Skim through old records in the EMR or outpatient clinic notes, if they're available. If you have access to insurance claim information through a special program, use that as a starting place. If the patient's from a facility, call the facility to obtain a medication administration record (MAR), which will show exactly what that person's been receiving!
Point being, use ALL your resources possible, especially when the patient or family reliability is questionable. You didn't know you went to pharmacy school to be a detective, did you?
Who Should Complete a Med Rec?
In terms of who should do the history, multiple studies have demonstrated that pharmacy personnel, whether it's a technician or a pharmacist, succeed the most in obtaining and documenting a thorough and accurate medication history.
This isn't just to pat ourselves on the back (though you can go ahead and do that now). We're in a uniquely strategic situation with our
- Baseline knowledge about medications and pharmacy fill process
- Attention to detail (bordering on OCD for most of us)
- Extensive training in patient interviewing techniques
- Dedicated time and resources to medication history
That being said, we definitely can't discount the contributions of our partner disciplines!
Nurses and physicians usually have integral information from PCP or facility transfer phone conversations that can help us with our med rec, so make sure to touch base with them as well.
OK, to summarize, so far we've determined that pharmacy personnel trained in the Jedi ways of interview techniques (and who have filling pharmacy connections) should obtain a medication history as soon as possible after admission.
What to Document in a Med Rec
What we haven't discussed is what to document. I know, you're saying well duh…you document the meds.
But do you document what Han was supposed to be taking according to the prescriptions, or do you document how he's actually taking them?
This is an age old debate.
Because if you think ahead to the point of ordering medications on admission or at discharge, it becomes readily apparent that you could perpetuate an error if you document incorrect or unsafe instructions.
And this could affect the patient's health.
Sometimes these errors are fairly easy to recognize and can be caught (e.g., the TID succinate), but often it's not so easy.
For example, what if you found out from Han's home pharmacy that, in addition to his metoprolol succinate script, he also had recently filled prescriptions for amlodipine and hydralazine.
He hasn't been taking them per his report, but you put them on his list since they are technically actively prescribed medications. Then when the doctor goes to reconcile his medications at admission, he orders the amlodipine and hydralazine too.
The verifying pharmacist sees all these medications on his pharmacy-obtained medication list. And then, oops, there goes Han's BP in the toilet…
Ideally, your EMR allows you to denote both how medications are prescribed AND how the patient is taking them. In a readily visible manner! However, many EMR programs aren't quite so friendly and don't have that capability just yet.
So in the meantime, we have to figure out how to document these difficult scenarios in a way that avoids patient harm.
A key piece of this is communication! Namely, communication between the pharmacy technician and the covering pharmacist, who then needs to decide what and how to escalate issues to the ordering provider.
But also…communication with the patient to clarify identified discrepancies. Oh, and while we're at it, let's include communication with the patient's PCP, and communication with the patient's nurse for increased monitoring if a medication situation is unclear, and so on. So much communication. #allthecommunication.
Alright, so now here's where we are...
Pharmacy personnel trained in the Jedi ways of interview techniques (and who have filling pharmacy connections) should work to obtain a medication history as soon as possible after admission. AND, documentation should identify both how a medication was prescribed as well as how it's being taken.
Phew. Tall task!
Medication Reconciliation Training
This is why appropriate training is so imperative. Most pharmacy technicians that obtain medication histories undergo training programs.
These programs consist of an initial didactic portion, which includes assessment of drug knowledge via a Top 200 list and/or CPhT (Certified Pharmacy Technician) achievement through the PTCB (Pharmacy Technician Certification Board).
An experiential component follows the didactic portion. This consists of shadowing and then supervised medication history work.
It's pretty rigorous. But you can see how if we aren't obtaining an accurate and thorough list on the front end of a hospital admission, errors can be propagated all the way through to a PCP follow up appointment after discharge!
That's IF the patient isn't readmitted before then for a medication-related issue!
The Future of Medication Reconciliation
Most of this post has focused on the medication history aspect of medication reconciliation for this reason: garbage in, garbage out.
We need to get the best possible medication history from the start, and then the other points of transfer and discharge become easier. (Note: I didn't say easy, I said easier.)
However, I don't want to completely minimize the other med rec points of opportunity either. And neither do institutions.
Even in a good situation when patients are knowledgeable about their medications AND a pharmacy-driven review has taken place, there is always the chance that there's a forgotten bottle sitting at home in a medication cabinet!
In order to combat this, some health systems are experimenting with scheduling "touch points" after the patient is discharged.
This is usually a phone call to the patient within 48 hours of hospital discharge when he is settled at home and has all medication bottles in front of him. However, some places are even trialing home visits by pharmacists!
Discrepancies identified at this point are communicated either back to the discharging provider or the PCP as necessary. Problems with affordability of prescriptions can also be identified, rather than waiting for the next admission or physician appointment. SO much amazing work being done!
How to Do a Med Rec
Hopefully some of the thoughts and questions posed in this post will spur you to consider how pharmacy can impact the process of medication reconciliation.
I don't necessarily have lots of answers here…but lots of questions (sorry?). But this post needs a summary. Something to tie it all together.
If I had to outline how to do a med rec, here's what I'd do. Please note that this list is intended to include everything about the process - from the top-level "administrative policy" perspective all the way down to what questions to ask during the patient interview. It's impossible to be all-inclusive, but it's my best crack at it.
- Develop a patient prioritization scheme and documentation process that works for the specific institution and electronic medical record (EMR)
- Train pharmacy personnel on said process
- Communicate with other disciplines that pharmacy is working on medication histories
- Pharmacy reviewer identifies a patient in need of a medication history
- Note: at this point, I'm going to switch to writing in first person, because YOU will be the one doing the med rec
- Speak with patient's nurse and/or scans the EMR to identify obvious communication or cognitive barriers
- Do background research on the patient, including obtaining their outpatient pharmacy fill records, medication records in the EMR, insurance claim records, etc...
- If possible (i.e. if patient is awake, alert, and oriented), introduce yourself and ask the patient (or their family) which pharmacy/pharmacies fill their outpatient scripts
- Use your background research as a baseline, and interview the patient (or family member/caregiver as appropriate) about allergies, reactions, and home medications
- Use open ended questions as much as possible…without dead-ending the conversation
- Be sure to ask about over the counter medications, herbals, vitamins, supplements, or nontraditional delivery method medications (inhalers, injections, eye drops, creams, weekly/monthly doses)
- Clarify any discrepancies between the pharmacy records you obtained and patient's report. This may require calling additional pharmacies or calling the same pharmacy again. Or it may mean scanning through outpatient visit notes (if available) to see what changes were made during outpatient appointments
- Document all medications in the EMR per your institution's process
- Include as much of the following information as possible: drug name, strength, dosage form, dose, route, frequency, duration (if applicable), date/time of last dose, and date/quantity of last fill
- If a patient is prescribed a drug but has self-discontinued that medication, this is a tricky scenario. Each situation is different and requires a decision about whether or not to keep that medication on the list. But regardless, put a note on the list regarding patient's adherence
- Make sure to use your help chain if you identify urgent issues during the medication history process
- A repeat medication reconciliation may be required if your new med list is drastically different than the original one on admission
- Barriers to adherence such as cost may also be communicated as appropriate
- Follow up on any necessary medication changes based on the new medication history
Yeahhhh. It's complex and can spiral quickly with complicated prescribed-but-not-taking scenarios.
Maybe you have some ideas about how to mitigate the difficult situations! Brainstorm, please!
The health care system needs your help – patients like Han need your help – so let's all put our brains together and keep figuring out medication reconciliation.

Purchased a copy at a recent signing event and absolutely love it. I feel the book provides a great example for kids by letting them know that if they want something enough, they can achieve it. Like Elvis did!

Met the author and artist at a recent holiday book signing event and want to say how nice they were. I purchased a copy of Elvis for my grand kids and it was a Christmas gift hit. Thanks for introducing me to your books.

If I had a quarter for every time my children asked to me to read Elvis, I'd have a jar of money my now. This is such a fun book that it's a pleasure to share it over and over.

We finished reading our new copy of Elvis last night and the kids loved it! One son said his favorite characters were Rocko and Socko, another liked Elvis, and mine was Purcilla. Thank you so much for providing something our entire family can enjoy together. Please keep writing!

My kids have absolutely fallen in love with Elvis! Great characters and beautiful illustrations that bring the story to life.
Added 08/01/2018 by Brenda R
Love the new addition and compliment the way illustrations bring this book to life. The characters come together and glue readers to the story. Very nicely done!

My son, who is seven, truly enjoyed each story that belongs to the Blackberry Tails series. I lived in the country for most of his younger years, and he could relate to a lot of things contained in each story. We even used to go pick wild blackberries and make blackberry cobbler and jam. He wants a dog too. His favorite story was Raisin's Odyssey. I like how the stories teach gentle lessons about nature. Thanks for creating these! The illustrations are also wonderful!
Added 07/26/2018 by Jessica B
Elvis' Dream, was a wonderful Adventure. The story is adventurous, and fun. The pictures were wonderful! Very,very colorful. Vivi's favorite characters are Rocko, and Socko the bully Blue Jays. Moe, our cat even likes to hear the story of Elvis! We love our Blackberry Tails books. Keep them coming, C.W. Shumate!
Added 07/21/2018 by Judy O
Thanks for the new book. One of the best yet! I know the grand kids will love it too, and they actually have a dog named Elvis. Much success, and keep them coming.
Added 07/18/2018 by Laura T
Like your previous books, this one is beautifully illustrated and the story is lots of fun. My kids love Nuts the squirrel, and cheered for Elvis as he made his circus introduction.
Added 07/16/2018 by Erin A
Just received the new book and my kids are anxiously waiting to meet Elvis. Thumbed through the pages and love the pictures. Thanks for continuing to provide quality entertainment for our family.

None knows the borders of the sky
so also there is no limit for persons greed
So why do you want to dream to fulfil your
never ending desires
Go slow in per suit of your desires
Why you want to ride horse which promise to take you to moon in day light ?
why are you endlessly roaming in oasis with the hope of extracting water ?
You better know none can achieve things by passing HIS rules
Life cant be Run as we would like it to
any regrets , any happiness
any thing that may happen
is solely HIS responsibility
Birth and Death are two extremes in life
These are two unseen faces in life
It is a mirage to think only happiness exists
Both Thorn and Rose are sure to exist in ones life's journey
Why indulge in greediness,
Why you feel disappointed
What ever comes in life
think it is HIS wish.and
move ahead in your life

Go log – go green!
These days we pay a lot of lip service to eco-friendly ideas and the greenies push for public awareness and legislation about saving the planet. I have a secret for you, if the word ever gets out about how "green" log and rustic furniture is, it will create a demand that will send rustic furniture prices skyrocketing! Huh?
To manufacture conventional (or traditional furniture), entire forests of oak, maple, walnut or cherry trees are harvested. In other countries, mahogany and other exotic woods are cut down for export to mills around the globe. In many cases these are not managed forest operations with long-term plans for reforestation.
On the other hand, log and rustic furniture makers are possibly the greenest people in modern business. If you visit a few log furniture websites, you'll note than most companies boast that their timber is harvested from standing dead trees. Rustic (twig and stick) furniture makers rely mostly on the willow plant for their raw material. They don't harvest "dead" willow because they don't need to. You see, willow is one step above a weed and darn near impossible to kill. When you cut from the stump, more shoots begin growing almost immediately. Talk about an ecologically friendly and renewable resource.
When this catches on, I can visualize tags hanging from rustic furniture saying… "No trees, plants or animals were harmed in the making of this item".
In short, the most eco-friendly furniture is log and rustic and when the PC crowd discovers this we'll start seeing twig benches in corporate foyers and log tables in fine restaurants.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will highlight the "incredible work" of the state's specialist domestic and family violence court at a national summit.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will join state and territory leaders and stakeholders at the domestic violence-focused Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting being held in Brisbane on Friday.
Ms Palaszczuk said the event would help keep the national spotlight on the issue.
"I think the opportunity here is to learn what other states are doing," she told ABC radio ahead of the meeting.
"I want to showcase, here in Queensland, how our specialist domestic family violence court is doing incredible work on the Gold Coast.
"If other states could look at adopting that, that would be fantastic, but I also want to learn from the other states as well what's working well there and what can we do to improve our services here."
The meeting comes on the same week child safety figures for the June quarter showed a 13 per cent increase in the number of families coming into the system with domestic violence problems compared to nine years ago.
The state's Child Safety Minister Shannon Fentiman said she would outline the statistics with Ms Palaszczuk at the COAG meeting.
"We know that the long-term impacts of domestic and family violence on children is huge and we do need to be more focused on how we can better protect women and children," Ms Fentiman said.
National domestic violence helpline: 1800 737 732 or 1800RESPECT. In an emergency call triple-zero.

Growing production from U.S. shale deposits is not a threat to Kuwait due to its higher costs, the country's oil minister Hani Hussein said in remarks published late Monday.
"There is no effect on Gulf crudes from shale oil in the United States as it will take a long time for this crude to have an impact because of its high cost," Mr. Hussein said, according to the official Kuwait News Agency, or KUNA.
"Gulf countries have huge reserves that can be produced at simple costs," he added.
Analysts have previously said that producing oil from U.S. shale is estimated to cost around $50-75 a barrel, while in the Gulf production costs are often less than $20.
Earlier this month, Sami al-Rushaid, the chairman and managing director of state-owned Kuwait Oil Co., said that shale production may lead to a fall in crude oil prices as it cuts into demand, but that prices are likely to stay at about $100 a barrel.
Kuwait, an Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries member, has previously said it has begun a study to assess its shale-oil deposits.
In November, the International Energy Agency, which represents key oil consumers, predicted the U.S. would overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer by 2020 thanks to shale output, a forecast which the OPEC secretary general said could undermine its members' spending plans.
OPEC said Tuesday that demand for its members' oil in 2013 will be 100,000 barrels a day lower than previously forecast, as growing output from non-member countries, particularly North American shale oil, eats into its market share.
If the scaled-back forecast proves correct, OPEC could be on track to have its lowest share of the global oil market in more than 10 years. OPEC's move comes as industry experts question whether the producers' group, which has had a decisive influence on the oil market since the 1970s, can maintain its position amid a boom in U.S. oil production resulting from shale-rock drilling technology.

Alex Regan struck out six batters and picked off two runners on his way to a seven-inning complete game as nationally top-ranked Mount Olive defeated Barton 8-1 in game one of a Conference Carolinas baseball doubleheader Saturday at Scarborough Field. Mike Mercurio, Geno Escalante and Daniel Oliver contributed two-out doubles in a six-run third inning for Mount Olive.
The Trojans completed the doubleheader sweep and three-game series sweep with an 11-4 victory in game two. A three-run second inning and a four-run fourth inning provided more than enough for pitcher Chris Orphanos to remain unbeaten on the season and pick up his second straight win as a starter.
In the opener, Braden Reitano's fifth home run of the season gave Mount Olive (21-2 overall, 8-1 Conference Carolinas) a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first and the Trojans' broke the game open in the third. Will Bynum singled in a run and eventually scored on Reitano's one-out sacrifice fly. Mercurio and Escalante followed with back-to-back doubles to extend the lead to 4-0. After Jermaine Berry drew a walk, Oliver drove in the fourth run of the inning with a double. Zak Orrison lined a two-run single left to cap the inning and give the Trojans a 7-0 lead.
Barton (5-12, 1-8) avoided the shutout when Phillip Williams drilled a two-out solo home run over the right field fence.
Regan (4-1) retired the first seven batters he faced before Phillip Cotten lined a single up the middle with one out in the third. But Regan picked Cotten off first and got a flyout to end the inning. He allowed a two-out single in the fifth, but ended the inning with another pickoff.
Regan recorded four strikeouts in the final two innings, including strikeouts for the final two outs of the game. He finished with a five-hitter.
In game two, Barton got on the scoreboard in the top of the first for the second time in three games, although Mount Olive left fielder Matt Petrone's defensive play prevented a big inning. After Dillon Rudio led off the game with a single, Mitchell Wheeler followed with a blast to left that was heading out of the park. Petrone raced to the fence and reached over to catch the ball and rob Wheeler of a two-run homer. Rudio scored one batter later on Williams' double to left to give Barton a 1-0 lead. The run was the Bulldogs' first of the series that did not come from a home run.
Mount Olive took the lead for good in the bottom of the second as Berry singled, Tyler Farmer drew a two-out walk, and both runners came home on Bryan Dunlavey's double to right. Dunlavey scored on Orrison's single to give the Trojans a 3-1 lead.
Mercurio doubled in a run in the third and followed with a two-run single in the fourth. Petrone had an rbi-single and Escalante's sacrifice fly capped the inning as Mount Olive extended its lead to 8-1. Single runs in the fifth and sixth innings pushed the Trojans' run total to double digits.
Orphanos (5-0) went seven innings, striking out seven and walking none. Saturday's contest was Orphanos' second of the season after making his first five appearances out of the bullpen.
Talton Cherry, the second of three Trojan pitchers in the game, retired the side in order in the eighth in his one inning of work. Barton added three unearned runs in the top of the ninth for the final score.
Mount Olive is idle until next weekend when the Trojans play host to King in a three-game Conference Carolinas series at Scarborough Field. The series was originally scheduled to be played at King in Bristol, Tenn., but was moved to Mount Olive due to next weekend's running of the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway and almost certain unavailability of hotel accommodations. The two teams play a doubleheader Saturday beginning at noon and a single game Sunday at 1 p.m.

After squaring the blocks a couple of days ago I finally joined them today to make a finished top.
I admit it's not perfect, but my sewing gets a little better piece by piece. After all, I'm still a beginner at machine piecing and still have to learn a lot yet.
Still have a little hand sewing to do before I'll be starting to finish all of my projects. I'm glad I'm back in the business this year after about two years of very slow progress, if any at all. I feel confident I will have reached my goal of having finished my UFOs (or most of them) by the end of next year. Thanks again to everyone for your encouragement.

Freedom of Expression
An exhibit exploring themes of censorship, bigotry, free speech, racism, and speaking truth to power
For this special collaboration, artists were asked to respond to themes of censorship, bigotry, free speech, racism, and speaking truth to power such as those found in the play "Alabama Story," which will be presented by The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. Alabama Stories tells the 1958 story of Emily Wheelock Reed, an Alabama librarian who refused to ban the children's book, The Rabbit's Wedding, that depicted a marriage between a black and white rabbit.
The play and exhibit will be presented concurrently, sharing audiences. Images of the work in the exhibit will be projected in the lobby of the theatre before the performances and during intermission.
The exhibit is on view through February 28th, 2019. All rights reserved by the artist.

VEX robotics competition season is officially underway! Events are taking place around the state nearly every weekend between now and February 2017, giving robotics teams the opportunity to collaborate and develop their skills in a competitive environment.
We understand registering for that first competition can be a little unnerving. With almost 350 brand new Indiana teams working towards competing for the very first time, we asked one new coach to share her team's experience at the October 29th Crown Point VEX IQ Tournament. Read Ms. Janice Skinner's thoughts below about her South Newton elementary team's first ever competition and why she's so glad she was encouraged to let go of her uncertainty and give her students the opportunity to compete!
How many students do you have on your team?
- 13 students from grades 3rd - 5th grade
Do you coach alone or do you have help? Did you have former robotics experience?
- I am currently the only coach. I had no previous knowledge of robots. However, not knowing all of the answers has turned out to be really beneficial, as the students are forced to learn and persevere when there are challenges. It really makes them take initiative and ownership when they are asked to find the answer themselves.
How many practices did you have prior to your competition?
- We began practicing in mid-September, working towards the October 29th competition that I had signed us up for. We did get about 6 weeks of practice in, but by the time the competition got here, we still weren't sure we were ready...
What concerns did you have going into the competition?
- I actually emailed the Event Partner to tell her that I had decided we were only going to come and watch instead of participate, as I was afraid we would ruin the competition because we were not ready. Fortunately, the Event Partner encouraged me to participate, reminding me that the outcome of the scores would not matter, the event itself would be a great learning experience, and that we were all in it together. She made me feel so much better and I'm so glad I decided to go through with it.
What are some things that surprised you about the competition?
- There were so many. We never once felt like we didn't belong. There was so much camaraderie amongst all of the students. Even though all kids and teachers were busy, they still found time to stop and help one another. I learned so much from speaking to other teachers and students. We are hooked!
What will you do in preparation for your next competition?
- Having the field and having a second robot is going to be extremely helpful with a group of 13 students. Knowing exactly the measurements and dimensions of the field will allow the team to better plan and strategize. I've found it's really beneficial to be certain every student has a role; for example, Scorekeeper, Designer, Social Media, Driver, Builder, Driver Schedule Manager, etc.
What did the students like best about the competition?
- Getting to work with students from other teams that they otherwise had never met or known. Figuring out how to communicate and work together as a team. Watching other teams compete helped expose the students to new strategies and designs that they had not considered. Having fun while working hard!
What advice would you give to other new coaches around the state?
- Regardless of feeling like you may not be ready, register for an event and give your students the opportunity to experience a competition! You won't regret it.
We hope this was helpful for all of you out there who are feeling nervous about registering for, or attending, an upcoming competition. Remember, scores and standings are secondary to the values your students will gain through collaborating as a team and being exposed to other teams around the state!

Mr Rangeela, who has become popular for his mimicry of political leaders on the social media, was invited to perform on the show "The Great Indian Laughter Challenge".
He said though his stand-up was appreciated he was asked to prepare fresh material in a short time as the channel did not want to offend anyone.
"Before they called me to perform on the show, they knew I specialised in mimicking politicians like Modiji and Rahul Gandhi. Initially, they said not to mimic Modi but were okay with poking fun at Rahul," he told PTI.
Mr Rangeela claimed after a month of shooting, he was asked to shoot with new gags as the channel would not air the jokes.
"Later, they said I can't mimic either of them. They asked me to prepare a new skit in five days - without mimicking Modi-Rahul. I told them I would not be able to put up a fresh stand-up in such a short time. But I did prepare something and did the shoot. It was not impressive enough as it led to my elimination from the show," he said.
The comic said he did not know how the video with the original skit landed online. He said he got to know that the previous one was available online after someone tagged him on Facebook.
"Someone tagged me with the video on Facebook and I was happy it had gone viral. But I don't know who put it out. But I think it must be someone from the production team."
Mr Rangeela said he does not want to be a part of the controversy.
"I was really hassled the two months that I was there. I have told the channel that I don't want any more trouble. But what happened with me was wrong," he said.
It was this video that sparked another controversy, involving Mr Akshay Kumar's alleged sexist comments at one of the show's mentor Mallika Dua.
According to reports, Ms Dua wanted to ring a bell to appreciate Mr Rangeela's mimicry, a practice followed by the show, but Mr Kumar is alleged to have said, "'Aap bell bajao, main aap ko bajata hun'", which led to her father, journalist Vinod Dua, slamming the actor on his Facebook page.
The word 'baja' is a colloquial term in Hindi which may carry sexual or violent undertones.
Ms Mallika and comedians Zakir Khan and Hussain Dalal, were reportedly fired earlier this month.
The channel was not available for a comment.

You can connect to a Linux instance by using different authentication methods:
- If you are using an SSH key pair, see connect to a Linux instance by using an SSH key pair.
- If you are using a password, you can connect to an instance by using the Management Terminal or by using software applications or command lines.
- The instance must be in the Running status. If not, start it.
- You have set a logon password for the instance. If the password is lost, you can reset the password.
- The instance can access the Internet:
- In a VPC, a public IP address is assigned to the instance or an EIP address is bound to the instance.
- In the classic network, a public IP address is assigned to the instance by using either of the following methods:
- For a Subscription or a Pay-As-You-Go instance, you can select Assign public IP when creating the instance.
- For a Subscription instance without a public IP address, you can assign one by upgrading the bandwidth.
- The following security group rules must be added to the security group that the instance joins. For more information, see add security group rules.
Network type NIC Rule direction Authorization policy Protocol type Port range Authorization type Authorization object Priority VPC N/A Inbound Allow SSH (22) 22/22 Address Field Access 0.0.0.0/0 1 Classic Internet
Based on the operating system of your local machine, use one of the following methods to connect to a Linux instance by using the SSH protocol:
Windows OS
If your local machine is running Windows OS, you can use a remote connection tool, such as PuTTY, to connect to a Linux instance. In this article, we use PuTTY as an example to describe how to connect to a Linux instance by using the password authentication method. Before you start, download PuTTY.
Follow these steps to connect to a Linux instance:
- Start putty.exe.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Session, and configure the following parameters:
- Host Name: Type the public IP address or EIP address of the instance.
- Port: Type 22.
- Connection Type: Select SSH.
- (Optional) Saved Session: If you do not want to repeat the configurations during the next logon, add a name for the session, and click Save.
- Click Open to connect, and in the PuTTY Security Alert dialog box, click Yes.
Note For the first connection to an ECS instance, you have the PuTTY Security Alert as follows, which means PuTTY cannot guarantee the instance is the one that you think it is, so it can only provide the public key fingerprint of the instance for you to decide to trust the instance or not. If you select Yes, the public key will be added to the PuTTY's cache and you will not be alerted again during your next connection. If you select Yes but are alerted again, a man-in-the-middle attack (MITM) may occur. For more information, see PuTTY User Manual.
- Enter the user name and password for the Linux instance, and then press Enter.
Note The password is not displayed on screen.
If you are successfully connected to the instance, the following message is displayed.
Welcome to Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service !
Linux or Mac OS X
If your local machine is running Linux OS or Mac OS X, follow these steps:
- Run the command
ssh root@[Public IP address or EIP address of the instance].
- Type the password and then press Enter.
If you are successfully connected to the instance, the following message is displayed.
Welcome to Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service !
Android or iOS
If your local machine is running Android OS or iOS, see connect to an instance on a mobile device.
You can run a script to install a graphical desktop on an instance running CentOS. For more information, see automatic installation tool for Linux instance.

WWDC 2016 Summary
Tonight, Apple's WWDC conference focused on software updates through their Mac line, iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch. These updates promise enhancements that will no doubt better each device. Join us as we share all of the info that Apple revealed tonight.
watchOS 3
Kickstarting the evening is a much-needed update for the Apple Watch. In watchOS3, apps will launch instantly with it's 'lightning fast' function. Apple predict that apps will open and update seven times faster than they did before.
watchOS 3 also includes a new interface that allows you to swipe up to open the notification centre, see updated information in an app without opening (similar to the "peek and pop" function), as well as swiping smoothly through watch faces. It seems that this is introduced to bring the interface more in-line with the iPhone.
Apple Watch will also include an activity sharing feature that lets you see how your friends are doing. This works as something of an motivational tool. A new app called Breath was also introduced, which sees you focusing on your breathing techniques. watchOS 3 will also include background-support for brand new fitness apps and an enhanced Apple Pay. Whilst a beta version was available immediately after the event, the full version will be ready to download sometime this Autumn.
tvOS Update
Apple briefly introduced an update for Apple TV. The new remove app includes an enhanced Siri search function, as well as Siri integration with YouTube. The new Dark Mode switches out the bright white light of Apple TV, whilst users will also be able to sync automatically between iPhone and Apple TV.
Mac OS
The new iteration will be called macOS Sierra. Apple promises better integration between Apple devices, Siri to computers, Apple Pay and Universal Clipboard. Universal Clipboard seamlessly shares documents and data between Mac and iOS devices by copying and pasting text.
iOS 10
Launching later this year, iOS 10 introduces a new interface and interactive lock screen. The lock screen will allow users to view notifications without unlocking the phone and opening an app, whilst 3D touch has been greatly improved. 3D touch now expands to the lock screen also, letting users respond to messages and calendar notifications, for example. It is expected that many apps will support this function. One particularly handy feature is automatic voicemail transcription. This will convert voicemails into text, so that you don't have to call up your voicemail and hear the message from another caller. We imagine that this would particularly be useful in places where you're unable to answer your phone, such as at work.
It also looks like we might be able to delete often unused apps, such as Stocks and Compass. This is perfect for those of you who are prone to burying these in an unwanted folder a few swipes away from your main screens!
Aesthetically pleasing, it also includes a widget-like experience where apps will interact when lightly touched.
Updated Apple Maps
Apple Maps is getting a complete overhaul, and so far, it looks pretty good! This will know where you're meant to be going, check your calendar for events and places you're supposed to be going throughout the months, and also a greater search function for better results.
New Apple Music Design
Apple Music's design hasn't always been praised. However, it appears that the company was listening, and they're now giving the app a complete redesign. Slightly reminiscent of it's competitor Spotify (at least in some of it's sections, such as Browse and For You), song lyrics and useful features such as Recently Added.
Redesigned Apple News
It's not just Maps and Music that are getting an overhaul. Apple News will also have a brand new design. This design will add sections including Top, Trending and Featured stories. Like the App store, they'l also be a subscription section so that people can subscribe to their favourite publications.
HomeKit can now control a range of compatible gadgets in the home, including room lights and the thermostat. Check the app to see what is compatible!
iMessage Updated
Similar to Facebook Messenger, iMessage gets a brand new style. It'll include animated emoji, stickets and a search function, along with bubble effects that let you send messages that appear more slowly, secret messages that must be swiped to be revealed, as well as the option to, like Apple Watch, send a sketch or your heartbeat.
Swift Playground
Fancy learning to code? Swift Playground promises to do just that! This free app teaches everyone of all ages how to code with a series of lessons and challenges. A beta version is available from today, but the full version will be release in Autumn for everyone. Keep an eye on this blog for a greater look at this soon!

You not only have to show the best possible side of the House for sale in Surrey, but you need to actually sell and market it as well. Visitors can suddenly criticize something about the home, or they may offer much less money than that what you want. Thus, if you have no experience, it shall be difficult to deal with this complex and emotional rollercoaster.
For the new ones, it is very easy to make mistakes that can be quite costly. However, you shall be glad to know that these can be avoided as well. You can, therefore, get the best possible price after selling your property, without losing your mind.
1) The mistake of getting emotionally involved: One of the greatest mistakes that people make while trying to sell properties is feeling for it too much or getting emotionally involved. We are not saying that it is wrong. On the contrary, we understand that one can have feelings if one has stayed at the property for years. However, the fact remains that feelings about a property while trying to sell it can be disastrous for the deal. For instance, if the customer gives a reasonable price, you may argue for a higher price just because you are emotionally involved with it. This, this is one mistake to avoid.
2) The mistake of not hiring an agent: Many people think that they can do all the work themselves without the need of hiring an agent. However, this is a huge mistake! It can be disastrous especially if you have never had a House for sale in Surrey.
It is hoped that these tips shall help you out a lot.

O That's Good
For years brands have tried to put Oprah's name on their product line or to get her to endorse it. Trust me, I've tried too.
Weight Watchers finally did it in 2015 and their business has bounced back.
Well now Kraft Heinz was able to grab her equity on a new line of refrigerated soups and side dishes under the brand name "O That's Good." Gotta love the name.
The foods are billed as healthy versions of comfort foods, inspired by Oprah's own version of mashed potatoes that combines cauliflower to make it more healthy and perhaps less weighty. There's also broccoli cheddar soup with butternut squash mixed it.
Sounds smart actually. And also affordable at $4.49 to $4.99, all in the refrigerated section which apparently is a growing sector for grocery. And a place that could use some innovation, like any where else.
Will Oprah's magic strike again? O we shall see this fall. Probably in O Magazine.
What's your experience? JIM

New Painting - Evergreen
The Australian "Seeded eucalyptus" inspired this garland, symbolising healing and protection. Recently I have been exploring the themes of beauty and fragility …
I love the combination of nature and the feminine. To me, flowers more than anything else symbolise femininity & fragility. This theme is important to me in terms of an individual human life and natures fragile eco-system we live within.
Traditionally in very old doctrines the female is outside of society, dangerous, wild nature - unpredictable bringer of life.

In the late 1950's, Blasco Industries of Spain produced small 1/87 plastic models under the EKO name. These were mainly intended to be used in HO scale train set scenery. These 1959 Thunderbirds were produced by EKO well into the 1970's. The EKO company is still producing miniatures for the model railroad hobby.
Bottom view shows this EKO 1959 Thunderbird model is issued under the number 2044 .

Incorporation of Company Branding and SEO
SEO is not an exact science. This becomes apparent when trying to incorporate both SEO and branding into a strategy. This process is finicky to say the least. On the one side, SEO deals with the placement of keywords and phrases. On the other side, branding deals with company loyalty and culture. Incorporating both sides dilutes the prominence of both. But eliminating one or the other may not meet all strategic and marketing goals.
Once again, it should be emphasized that SEO is a series of guidelines rather than an exact science. Having said that, the following recommendation can be used to satisfy both sides of the equation. In general, keywords and phrases (i.e. SEO) should remain the focus of any early-stage company, while the incorporation of company branding should appear later in the evolution. This is simply a general statement and should not be taken word for word.
The reasoning is pretty straightforward. At first, no-one knows the name of your company, but perhaps they are searching for your products or services. In other words, you want to target keywords and phrases that focus around your offering rather than your company. As you build loyalty and credibility, branding becomes more important. It's at this point that you may want to incorporate corporate messaging to strengthen the relationship with customers and instill trust in your brand.
One final thought about branding: if a searcher types in the name of your company, they are likely to find your website anyways. This is due mostly to anchor text and back-links. Therefore, optimizing for the company name is rather insignificant in most cases.

The Cure
January 21, 2018
I wanted to jot down a few thoughts that ran through my mind during a conversation with friends last night. And you'll be happy to know that this'll be a positive post, which is rare for me!
A friend was talking about a friend of hers who obsesses about Facebook: she takes careful note of who "likes" which posts, and is upset when (for example) someone who typically "likes" her posts fails to react to some new post. I chuckled a little only because the obsession was so extreme ... but inside, I felt pretty sad because it represented a frighteningly accurate description of how I felt when I used to spend time on Facebook. As luck would have it — and I say luck because it was definitely not initiated by any particular foresight on my part — I shut down my Facebook account a couple of months ago. I shut it down because I was sick of how using Facebook made me feel: like I was inferior to everyone else, like I was despised by most of the people I knew (though it encouraged me to seek their approval unceasingly), like I could never do enough or be witty enough or gain enough followers. Occasionally, I got into fights about political / social / religious topics, and I would check and check and check my phone late into the night, refreshing to see more hateful comments roll in, sleep fitfully, and then, upon waking, immediately resume the misery before even leaving the bed. Ugh. I shudder to think of it even now. But, at the time, it seemed normal to me; it was simply how one used Facebook, and it hardly occurred to me that one could feel differently about such matters. The people whose experiences on the platform were highly positive were as foreign to me as their successes; I'm not a young, hot, fitness guru, or a crafty mom blogger, or a theologian, or a conspiracy theorist, or any of the other archetypes that seem to succeed there.
Anyway, upon hearing the story of the friend's friend, I realized that I hadn't felt those awful feelings in months. It's wonderful! I feel so light and free! I still use Twitter, but for some reason, it's not a negative experience like Facebook was. Twitter can be a hugely negative place for some people, but I suppose I must just fly completely under the radar there. On that platform, I interact with people that inspire me, which is a profoundly different experience than interacting with people that I know through sheer proximity. I suppose it's a similar difference to choosing to interact with friends versus feeling obliged to interact with family members or neighbors.
I'm glad to see that I've made at least one good choice in my life in the last few months, and that it's already started to bear good fruit!

Paddle tennis still has a bourgeois air about it and was thought to have been played only by people of high social standing. But this is not true as paddle tennis is a dynamic sport that's simple to play and lets you have fun with friends and family.

Pádel Barcelona El Prat
El Prat is a paddle school that has personalised plans for groups and individuals. The school offers flexible payments in installments as well as monthly payments and track rentals. With a monthly fee, it is possible to have unlimited access to all the facilities.

The Artós Sport Club has 9 new tracks to use. In addition, there are many options, from a cheap one-off rental, to a package called "Paddle Meet Up", which includes training and a party along with refreshments at the end. It is an ideal option to make friends.

We are now live with our first customer and a major thing missing is the ability to report/extract the hours written on tickets/changes at task level. This means I have to manually get all the information to align with our accounting system for billing.
As the hours can be posted on task level it must surly be available in the database. Why cannot I extract fields beside 'ticket/change description' , 'notes' , 'date' , 'Agent' , 'group' and 'hours' from the Time Sheet Report ?
