Caerphilly county-based recruitment agency Focused Recruitment and its Director Kathryn Morgan are through to the finals for two categories of the Caerphilly Business Forum Awards: Business of the Year (under 25 employees) and Women in Business.
Now in its 15th year, the prestigious Caerphilly Business Forum Awards reward success and recognise business excellence within Caerphilly County Borough over the last 12 months.
Focused Recruitment Managing Director Kathryn Morgan says:
"It's an absolute honour to reach the finals of not one but two Caerphilly Business Forum Awards. Focused Recruitment has had a particularly successful year underpinned by strong growth and the loyalty of our candidates, clients and staff. It was only last month that Focused Recruitment was named the fourth fastest growing firm in recruitment services in Wales at the Wales Fast Growth 50 awards.
"Clients value our unique way of working and specialism in the engineering and technical, manufacturing and industrial and commercial sectors. We've doubled our workforce over the last two years and recently relocated to a larger office at Ystrad Mynach's Business and Technology Centre. We are now working towards doubling our turnover to £4 million over the next year."
Denise Lovering, Chair of Caerphilly Business Forum, says: "It's going to be a tough competition on the night with some very high calibre businesses and individuals nominated, but all the Caerphilly enterprises who have made it onto the shortlist should be very proud of themselves representing the borough. We wish them all good luck on the night."
This year's Caerphilly Business Forum Awards gala dinner will take place on Friday 18 November 2016 and be hosted by BBC Wales TV Presenter Jamie Owen at Bryn Meadows Golf, Hotel & Spa, Ystrad Mynach.

The strapOn is a wearable protoboard designed to fit on a 20mm NATO-style watchband. The board is designed with standard PTH 0.1" spacing, with non-corroding ENIG-finished plated through holes (from OSHPark), allowing you to build hackable, extensible prototypes of easily wearable technology.
Note: In the pictures above, the components are not included, but the black 20mm NATO-style band is available as an option.
I designed the strapOn protoboard to make it easy to build electronic wearables, such as watches/timers, GPS/location tools, atmospheric sensors, accelerometers, biometric tools, and really anything else you can imagine.
After designing these boards, I noticed there aren't any boards exactly like them anywhere else, so I decided to order a few extras now and then just in case anyone else could use them. Unlike my prototype picture, these boards are unbranded and have no text or graphics on them. Only my personal ones have the product name and my website.

I recently was eyeing up the boy's PJ's at Walmart for Strapping Young Lad. All of his jammies fit him more like leotards...he's had a growth spurt.
I resisted the urge to "buy" and decided to make him some instead, since I do have a decent (though, now, dwindling) plaid, flannel stash.
I've made him two sets of PJ's, the latter set being a work-yet-in-progress. This first one is flannel plaid pants lined with striped flannel fabric, and a back pocket.
Pockets always please Strapping Young Lad, of course. Pockets are my no-fail-formula for pleasing the Young Man in My Life.
Then I appliqued' a homemade alligator and moon and star to a new, white, long-sleeved tshirt for the top.
And sewed a button on for the alligator eye. His tail wraps around the side of the shirt and to the back. I feel a little smug...I know what my little fellow likes. It's a mom's special lot in life to know the wee, little things that please her little ones' fancies.
Originally, I was speculating using an old tshirt of Hubby's to upcycle into the shirt for Strapping Young Lad...but Hubby's tshirt was worn and "doppich" and I decided not to go to all the work of making something out of almost-worn-out material.... Know what I mean?
And here is the Strapping Young Lad in 1/2 of his new jammy set, with his freshly carved jack-o-lantern. And yes, we made him blow out the candle before he retired to his bed for the night. :)

Weekend Away
We went away for the weekend.
I left all sewing and the sewing machine at home.
I promised myself that I would be relaxed and available for leisurely chit-chat long into the evening hours, without subjecting my family members to the droning of my sewing machine, and not subjecting them to an absent-minded, work-intent, blank gaze in response to their attempts at conversation.
And I did just that.
So I enjoyed lots of laughing and storytelling.
The clogged toilet proved to be a crowd favorite and a point-of-interest (Who Dunnit???)
Apple and grape picking, as well as, little hikes were enjoyed by all.
And the nice thing about Family is..they aren't picky about accommodations... and the More the Merrier.
And there it is.

Fashion Forward: Snake As An Accessory
After I finished Baby Girl's Beachrobe, I realized I ought to make her a snake with the scraps, just like I did for Strapping Young Lad.
The only major difference between the two snakes (hers and Strapping Young Lad's) is that I didn't put wire in Baby Girl's snake.
I had to remove the wire from Strapping Young Lad's snake anyway...you see, when I crafted his snake, I wasn't planning on it being used as a bludgeon during warfare...mock or otherwise. Meanwhile, the wire started to work its way out and pricked unsuspecting victims...
So I don't advise utilizing my idea of putting wire in the snake, if you're planning to bludgeon others with it. ;)
As for Baby Girl, she prefers to accessorize with her snake, and wears it about her neck.

Woodridge, IL -- A massive fire devoured a RoomPlace furniture warehouse in Woodridge.
Thick black smoke could be seen twenty miles away from the scene.
"Everybody started running out the back door, talking about, 'Get out!'" said Ken LeFlore, who was inside the warehouse at the time of the fire. "Being okay is important, I made it out to my family and my son and my girl, so that's what's important."
According to firefighters, more than 700,000 square feet went up in flames. The flammable materials within the furniture helped spread the fire faster.
"We had some - what I would call smaller explosions - and I'm going to say that those were probably from some of the forklifts in there perhaps, they're run by propane," said Chief George Rimbo of the Lemont Fire Protection District.
"All of the sudden, we just heard the fire alarm go off, so we went outside," said Cesar Posada, who was also inside the warehouse when the fire started. He described that there was thick black smoke, but that quickly changed. "I was able to get in my car and get away. My car is parked over there, because the ops said it was going to be a big one."
There were fifteen employees in the building at the time, and everyone escaped.

Here's some info that will help you out. But ultimately, you'll need to rely on your skills to get those high scores!
Understanding Rank
A number called rank determines some big factors in this game:
- The number of enemies that appear. The higher the rank, the more enemies you'll see.
- The movement speed of both enemies and enemy projectiles. The higher rank goes, the faster all of that will be.
- The duration of the encounters at the end of Stages 4 and 5.
This was originally posted to the yyrGames forums on Sep 30, 2012 at 2:33 am, and was last updated in 2017.
The final version is 1.0.1, released on 10/16/2012. (Updates to XBLIG are no longer possible.)
To update, simply launch BFT; you'll be informed that an update is available and can download it right from there. After the download is complete, relaunch the game.
Version history:

- Kick a lot. Kicking is the most effective way to cause blocks to move. So consider kicking first, before considering a different course of action.
- Blocks will slow their horizontal movement when on top of the floor, or another block. So the way to get a block to travel the furthest is by kicking it off another block so that it flies through the air. Because there is less friction, it will travel much further. This is illustrated in the attract mode demo.

- Targets are worth the same amount of points no matter where you hit them. So don't aim for the bullseye; just hit it anywhere.

Volume nine of this series consists of four review articles of current interest in immunology and maintains the high standards set by earlier editions. The first section is a lucid presentation of the evidence that implicates the small lymphocyte in the immune response. Drs. Gowans and McGregor develop their convincing thesis that most small lymphocytes are resting immunologically competent cells. In response to antigen a proportion of these cells transform into large pyroninophilic cells which then proliferate and differentiate to ultimately effect the immune response. With adequate consideration of experiments at variance with this thesis, the small lymphocyte is appraised

For my first three weeks in Scotland, I volunteered at a restaurant/farm called Fruin Farm in Loch Lomond! It was my first Workaway experience and it felt very natural despite having had a not-great experience au pairing (through a different website) many moons ago.
Rebecca and Wayne spent this past year renovating Fruin Farm (with other workawayers from around the world) from an old farm house into a restaurant as well as a home for a mix of llamas, alpacas, goats, sheep, and pigs. By the time I arrived in early October, everything was fully renovated and the restaurant was open for business. Most of my volunteering was spent playing barista and waitress, but I also helped a bit with the animals (including bottle feeding a little goat!)
Having spent most of the past year on my own schedule, it was nice to have a change of pace working with other people and interacting with locals every day. Most of the customers who came in were local ladies coming in for tea and Pat's monstrous scones and everyone was so nice. They'd usually ask where I was from and what brought me all the way over, tickled that a California girl would opt for Scotland in October (it was beautiful, I'd do it again).
If you haven't tried Workaway before, I'd definitely recommend it. I'd heard of Workaway years and years ago but was reminded of it more recently during Chelsea's year of slow travels. She has a ton of great tips that I found helpful, and on top of them, here are a few of my own:
1. Be yourself. As you're contacting hosts, make sure you take the time to really tell them about yourself and why you'd like to volunteer with them. Rebecca and Wayne told me they got dozens of requests daily and can't respond to them all, so I was surprised I made it through at all. These people are likely welcoming you into their home-- make sure they get a good sense of who they're welcoming.
2. Ask questions. Chelsea explains this really well, but don't be afraid to get as much information as possible so you know what you're walking into. She says, "My biggest tip is to be high maintenance in your search! Then, once you get there, be as open minded as possible, for the ultimate experience" and I couldn't agree more.
3. Trust your gut. This one is big for me. You could have all of your ducks in a row, everything planned, etc, but if you get that feeling, listen to it. That doesn't mean run away, but try to figure out if you're missing some information or just need to know more to understand why you feel that way. You won't do yourself any favors walking into something with negative premonitions.
4. Don't be afraid. I mean, you can have a healthy fear for your safety and well-being, but I think the best experiences come from doing things outside of your comfort zone. I'd never intentionally gotten within arms-reach of a llama my entire life and then I fed them almost every day. I'd promised myself a life of self-employment and then I took a detour waitressing at a restaurant so I could travel and see Scotland. If something is remotely interesting to you, pursue it. You never know, and you never will if you don't try.
5. Write it down. Although three weeks seemed like a long span when I first planned everything, it all flew by. Each day was similar, but there were so many moments that made it special. So in no particular order:
Feeding baby Mac, the time the two random ladies gave me a ride to Helensburgh, introducing Anna to Heath Ledger, eating all the cake that couldn't be served the next day, getting called a "wee lassie," telling the Brits how I pronounce "acclimate" and "herb," laughing at how the Brits pronounce "schedule" and "parmesan" (lol), the cutest chubby sheep Uma and Valentine, breakfast rolls, soup for lunch, tea after dinner, explaining Instagram, watching the sunrise from my bedroom window, taking my first night sky photo, running into a Filipino guy in the middle of nowhere, and finally feeling at home in a place so far from my own once again.

Malta Nightlife and Clubbing
Malta's nightlife is unique and exciting, with a large choice of venues in close proximity and offering a new clubbing experience from what you're used to back home. Nightlife in Malta consists mainly of clubs concentrated nearby St. Julian's (in the Central/North part of Malta), referred to as Paceville, and open air clubs that are particularly popular on Friday and Sunday nights.
Paceville (St. Julian's area) offers a wide array of clubs and bars to suit most musical tastes. All clubs are concentrated in the center of Paceville and the area's always full of party people on weekends and radiates with energy. There's something for everyone: trance clubs, R&B and hip-hop joints, salsa bars and alternative/rock bars. Besides clubs you'll also find other kinds of entertainment in Paceville, including Malta's largest cinema, a bowling alley, sports bars and gentlemen's clubs.
Open air clubs in Malta
If you love clubbing then you should definitely not miss out on the fantastic open air parties that take place in a number of venues in Malta and Gozo. Look out for well-known clubs like Gianpula and Numero Uno. They're not easy to reach by public transport, but hiring bus transport for the evening is not very expensive and well worth it!
Sliema and the coastline up to neighbouring St Julian's constitutes Malta's main coastal resort. It is a centre for shopping, restaurants and caf'e life. Sliema is also a major commercial and residential area and houses several of Malta's most recent hotels.
Mellieha is a large village in the north-western part of Malta, the largest island of the Republic of Malta. This village of approximately 7,500 inhabitants is a popular resort town in the summer.
Valletta is located on the north-eastern coast of Malta, the main island of the Republic of Malta. This town of approximately 6,300 inhabitants is the capital of Malta and is known as the 'City of Knights'. It has two natural harbours that are able to accommodate trading ships and cruise liners.
Mdina is located in the centre of the island of Malta, the largest island of the Republic of Malta. This small settlement of approximately 250 inhabitants is the island's old capital.
Mdina is believed to have been inhabited more than 5000 years. Since it is located on the highest point on the island it was fortified almost 2500 years ago as it served as a vantage point to spot invaders.
Gozo is the second largest island of the group of islands that form the Republic of Malta. This island of approximately 31,000 inhabitants has a largely rural ambience. Besides a beautiful coastline and sandy beaches, the rest of the terrain is made up of craggy hilltops and lush valleys.
The prehistoric Ggantija Temple Complex in Gozo is said to be the oldest free-standing stone structure known to mankind.
Natural attractions on the island include Mellieha (Malta's biggest beach), the Dingli Cliffs (plunging at least 220 m down) and the beautiful Blue Grotto.
Malta's Mosta Dome is the fourth largest unsupported dome in the world and is visible from any vantage point on the island. The sixteenth century St John's Co-Cathedral (whose design set the pattern for future Maltese churches) and the St Paul's Church at Rabatare also popular among tourists.

DC's THE FLASH Movie To Start Production in Late 2019 For a 2021 Release Date
For those of you who are looking forward to DC Entertainment's standalone Flash movie, it looks like we're going to have be patient because we'll have to wait a bit.
I've actually been looking forward to The Flash! I kinda liked how his character was handled in Justice League and I'm interested to see what story they have planned for him. I also enjoyed Ezra Miller in the role and apparently, his scheduling is one of the reasons why WB can't rush into making the movie.
According to Variety, the script for the film is still in development and the studio doesn't think there will be enough time to get the script ready to make the original start date, which was early 2019. Then with the third Fantastic Beasts film scheduled to start shooting in summer of 2019, which Miller has a supporting role in, the soonest WB could get The Flash into production is at the end of the 2019 year. That likely means the superhero adventure won't debut in theaters until sometime in 2021.
The Flash is currently being written by Spider-Man: Homecoming scribes John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein and they will also direct the film. We don't have a lot of details on what the movie will entail, but it is said to be inspired by Robert Zemeckis' classic 80's film Back To The Future.
The movie was also previously said to be called Flashpoint which hinted at the story that it would tell. There were also rumors of Ben Affleck's Batman being involved. But, after all the changes that have happened at WB and DC since that title was announced, there's a good chance that the original plan for the story may have been scrapped.
After everything that WB and DC have gone through over the past year, I'm really curious about how this movie will turn out. How about you?

Nebbiolo + Pinot
Our small time, dry-farmed vineyard is part of the Green Valley AVA of the Russian River Valley and is about to enter its prime. Managed by Emilio Castelli of Castelli Vineyards, our 1.5 acres of grapes and land are the benefactor of this practitioner who believes in true terroir.
From Castelli Vineyards' Website:
"Our grape growing style is inspired by the 'do nothing' method of the Japanese farmer and philosopher Masanobu Fukuoka, who believed that 'the earth cultivates itself, and there is no need for man to do what roots, worms, and micro-organisms do better.'
There's no tilling or cultivating in our vineyards, and no additional fertilizers are used. Clippings from mowing and pruning as well as the organic bi-products of harvest are all returned to the soil as mulch.
The Green Valley area is blessed with Gold Ridge soil, and its sandy loam allows for deep root penetration and eliminates the need for irrigation. Once established, our vines are dry-farmed, creating a smaller yield of fruit that is intensely flavorful.
The vines in our small plots don't dominate the landscape, but are a part of its fabric. Scrappy old apple orchards, flourishing native weeds, and rambling wild blackberry vines are all part of our terroir."

Y: The Descent of Men
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2003 - Health & Fitness - 252 pages
Men's beards grow faster when their bearers expect some sex. Fewer sperm cells are made in summer. Circumcised boys are more frightened of injections than boys who have not undergone the operation. And the average length of a man's penis is less than six inches, while that of a blue whale is ten feet.
These are only a few of the remarkable facts that spill out in Y: The Descent of Men. With marvelous literary flair, the acclaimed scientist and author Steve Jones offers a landmark exploration of maleness, based on today's explosion of biological research about what makes a male -- a topic of consuming interest to at least half the population. From what males consider to be the "prince of chromosomes" -- the Y -- to novel insights into men's hormones, hair loss, and the hydraulics of man's most intimate organ, Jones lays out the case for and against masculinity.
But the self-proclaimed "biologist in the bedroom" goes far beyond discussing straight science. He writes, for instance, of a meeting between Napoleon and Czar Alexander in which they discussed baldness cures rather than matters of state. And, as many angry males have found out, to the law fatherhood means more than genes. A father who is not a biological parent but who leaves a family with children still has responsibility for the offspring.
Steve Jones hints at a startling truth: men are the second sex. The Y chromosome is no longer an excuse for excess. Compared with their partners, men are in relative decline, whether in social status or in length of life. Both halves of the population have to learn to cope with the Y chromosome. This book helps show them how.

The many years spent in planning, budgeting, organizing, advocacy, and the treatment of Daily unknowns life after the implementation of their electronic medical record (EMR).
For many people who go beyond this stage, it's a relief to embark on the world of optimization and look for new ways to render care to patients. But such a transition can be a little dangerous for unprepared hospitals. The new environment surrounding the post EMR transition is quite different from the days of implementation.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
You are going to need a new management model. The world of EMR implementation is full of defined structures, processes and timelines. We are following all the work orders of the project's all-powerful work plan and developing secondary work plans for the project's main work plan to keep our teams focused and on track. The EMR implementation is much less structured and requires a management model that keeps the team focused and productive.
It is much more difficult to say NO in the post-EMR implementation environment. Many companies are committed to providing a fixed deliverable associated with their EMR facility. Requests that come out of this fixed scope are often filed for later activation. Of course, this approach is well supported by senior leaders because they want the system to work as quickly as possible, with minimal expense and disruption. After the activation of the EMR, the gateways to the backlog of the filed requests open. Everyone wants part of the optimization team; gently and not so gently, reminding the team of their partnership by delaying their request with the promise that it would be addressed after the activation.
Hospitals that switch to a new EMR change provider and, as a result, the captured, distributed and reported data differs from the previous paper or electronic system. It is not that new system data is false, but their definition, calculation or other characteristics are simply different. This phenomenon is related to the revelation that in multi-entity organizations, each entity often calculates seemingly standard measures (ie: admissions, censuses, readmissions …) in different ways. Thus, no matter how the system reports the data, it is considered inconsistent throughout the organization.
With the thrill of activating the DME that fades quickly, what's a DSI and a project manager to do? Becoming aware of these common events is a good start and having the understanding that, with a little preparation, these elements can be easily addressed going a long way.
Some Suggestions to Consider During Your Journey to the Success and Stability of the EMR:
Your EMR implementation team will most likely be fatigued after EMR activation. The long days spent working to meet project deadlines and the even longer days that support EMR activation can impact your team. Be sure to give these people a break and have a new set of resources in place to provide the post-activation and optimization efforts. In addition, have a link between the implementation and optimization teams to make sure everyone understands the rhyme and the reason for the proposed changes.
The Number One Key to Post-Activation Survival: Governance, Governance and Governance. Operational leadership should help provide guidance on the priority and scope of post-activation activities. People closest to the front line of the user community are often best placed to lead this effort, are invaluable in maximizing effort, and most easily recognize the benefits associated with the system.
Mobilize and strengthen your data governance committee to activate the EMR. Identify the key metrics that your organization uses to manage activity and make sure that these data elements are consistently defined throughout the organization and correctly calculated in the new system.
Since the final activation of my organization's EMR in March 2017, I've shared the metaphor with a lot of people who involve the EMR, it's like participating in the Tour de France because you spend a lot of time and energy hanging out. And then the runners reach a point where the peddling painful and distressing (the implementation) passes to the downhill part, extremely fast and quite treacherous of the race (post implementation).
The two experiences are very different but they are filled with equal levels of activity and euphoria. I suspect that many people who have reached the top and who have begun to disagree appreciate the feeling of being on the other side with the ability to bring great benefits to their organization.
Thanks to the efforts of my team and operational support, I am one of those who experience this thrill.
We are now starting a new stage of the journey.
Mike Restuccia is CIO of Penn Medicine.

Donors are needed to help finance a giant dragon with net wings, a castle with a throne, a triple-wave slide, and other items children said they wanted to see at Vacaville"s new and improved Great Wonders Playground.
Accounting for a $150,000 earmark from the city and a $40,000 contribution from the local Sunrise Rotary, coordinators are trying to raise an additional $100,000 or more to rebuild Great Wonders. The playground is scheduled for an overhaul this fall – which will include replacing splintering wood with a more weather-resistant material.
Rebuild organizers have drawn up a laundry list of nearly 40 items that need sponsoring, which include a $7,500 pirate ship, a $9,500 dragon with net wings, a $3,800 spiral slide and an $8,500 castle with a throne. The rebuild plan also incorporates five regular swings and a tire swing, as well as two rock walls at a cost of $1,250 each, a $1,350 suspension bridge, a $1,200 race car, an $1,800 plane and a $1,400 fairy carriage.
"We"re just now starting to get the word out there for this," said Lisa Davis, who is in charge of fundraising opportunities. "We"re also going to have a booth at the CreekWalk on Friday nights."
Recalling that Great Wonders was once razed by fire, Davis said the rebuild plan is to replace woodchips with rubberized matting often found at other playgrounds. Plaques naming the sponsors will be placed near each of the items.
For $35 each, Davis said donors can decorate tiles that will be placed in and around the park, which are available downtown at Bella Terra on Main Street.
While she would love to see individuals or groups sponsor items outright, Davis said contributions of any size are welcome.
"We"ll accept any and everything," Davis said. "We"ve got a ways to go, but we"re confident we can raise this."
Most items on the list came directly from the imaginations of local students. Barry Segal, a designer from New York-based consultant Leathers and Associates, went around to local schools in February and asked kids to share their ideas. The drawings they produced were unveiled the next day and were the basis for Segal"s concept sketches.
The draft design will be "tweaked and improved as we go along," according to Assistant City Manager Laura Kuhn,
"We"re going to provide as many of the elements as we possibly can," Kuhn said, pledging that the finished product will be "very unique, very exciting and very Vacaville."
The rebuild of Great Wonders is scheduled to be under way from Oct. 7-12, and volunteers of all skill levels are invited to help build.
For more information about fundraising, contact Davis at 446-4289 or firstname.lastname@example.com, and to find out more about volunteering, contact Tom Phillippi at 451-6556 or email@example.com.

Sexual & Gender-Based Violence which manifests itself in different forms including rape, intimidation, domestic violence, physical assault and sexual assault among others, has devastating effects on individuals, families and nations at large.
Ending Sexual & Gender-Based Violence is crucial for creating an enabling environment to achieve some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly, Goal 3 and 5, which are 'Good Health and Well-Being' as well as, 'Gender Equality', respectively.
Office of the Second Lady of Ghana, H.E. Samira Bawumia, in collaboration with UNFPA launched the Coalition of Persons against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence and Harmful Practices (CoPASH) with the aim of increasing the response to SGBV.
As part of the initiative, the Ghana Police Service with support from UNFPA had a capacity building programme for regional and district coordinators of Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU), who have a direct mandate and are primary stakeholders when it comes to prosecuting offenders and protecting victims of Sexual And Gender-Based Violence.
Mrs Bawumia, who joined the training session as they wrapped up, encouraged them to read the DV Act constantly and apply it when managing cases. She further enjoined them to pay attention to the new trends and best practices in handling SGBV cases. "You are the first point of contact for victims, so please receive them with a human touch so they do not relive the story" she echoed.
Chief Superintendent (Supt) Owusuwaa Kyeremeh, the National coordinator of DOVVSU said, the training was aimed at improving the skills of the Coordinators in handling SGBV; taking into consideration the current trends. She said the Officers were also reminded of their commitment to the ethics and professionalism of the Ghana Police Service.
In an interview Supt Alice Awarikaro; the DOVVSU coordinator in the Greater Accra Region and a participant, about her views on the training, she said, 'This training is very timely particularly the digital aspect and the electronic investigation. We are currently in an era of advanced technology and for you to be effective and efficient, you need to also upgrade yourself with the digital knowledge. I can confidently gather information and also pick up some evidence from social media in determining some cases."
Another participant, Supt. George Appiah Fosu, Central Regional DOVVSU Coordinator also said the training has refreshed his knowledge on the legal provisions meant for protecting victims of abuse.

I had a lengthy conversation about the City of Detroit's income taxes with a fellow Warrendale resident recently. It turns out that he didn't know about any of the ways to offset the cost of Detroit's resident income taxes. In the interest of passing along useful information to my neighbors, I wanted to mention a couple of things.
First, if you itemize your taxes then any taxes you pay to the state or local government are deductible from your federal taxes. For some folks, especially if your adjusted gross income is less than $30,000, it generally isn't worth it to itemize your tax deductions. For those of you who do itemize, don't forget to include your Michigan and Detroit taxes in that list.
From everyone who pays taxes, there is also the fact that a portion of your Detroit income taxes can be used as a credit towards your Michigan income taxes. When you're preparing your Michigan tax return, don't forget that section of the form.
Neither of these things will offset 100% of your city income taxes. However, this does take a large chunk of the bite out.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that I'm working part-time as a tax preparer at one of the tax agencies in the neighborhood. Business was a bit slow in the end of 2006 so I needed the extra income.

Shelita Burke – Belong
Shelita Burke – Belong
I got a direct message from @ShelitaBurke asking me to give a song of hers a listen. The song, Belong is a very pleasing track and has already received one million plays on Spotify.
I shall share Belong after the break, it is a lovely mix of vocals and music. The lyrics are very poetic and her vocal approach nicely uses repetition to create a song that pleases the ears. It left me wanting more Shelita Burke. I am confident you shall feel the same way.
James Hill Rocks on Ukulele
James Hill Rocks on ukulele
Some musical instruments are usually not taken too seriously. In my humble opinion, "the Uke" is all too often erroneously placed in that category. James Hill is on a mission to destroy that myth. He super-seriously rocks on the ukulele.
Not only does he does perform but also teaches. Check out his mastery in the videos after the break. You shall be amazed at the types of sound he creates. Seriously on of the craziest creative things I have ever seen.
Only Known Video of Louis Armstrong in the Studio
Only Known Video of Louis Armstrong in the Studio
There is no doubt the Louis Armstrong is an influence and a legend. As is the case with many early era musicians, video footage is hard to find. Too often the footage is lost, destroyed or never even existed. It was pleasing to see in a post at Open Culture that there does exist one video of "Satchmo" in the studio.
Latchkey Revolt – Driving Hard Rock
Latchkey Revolt – High Energy Rock from Singapore
Latchkey Revolt is a quartet from Singapore. They are a hard-hitting rock band that pound the listener with great sound, grooves and solos. I like them much.
Disclaimer – Some of the lyrics in this material are explicit. This material is not safe for work. Listener discretion is advised.
Now if a little language does not bother you, I really suggest you listen on. These artists drive the songs from start to finish. All feature a powerful drive, each having their own individualism, and absolutely nothing dull about any of them. In my opinion, a great listen. Check out some Latchkey Revolt after the break.

Featuring Ambientasia by DJ Trackstyle
Today is National Technology Day. Personally, I have a serious love-hate relationship with technology. I love to try to use it but I hate fighting with my old PCs to make them work.
I also love applied technology when it comes to music. I am not one of those who feel that synth music is soulless. I have been around synthesizers since the days of monophonic patch cord Moogs. I still have a DX7 sitting my studio and love electronic music.
It seemed appropriate to go with a synth song today. I found this artist way back in the day at the now non-existent Podsafe Music Network. I am going to spin Ambientasia by DJ Trackstyle
While most of the links in my notes are now useless, a few Google searches showed me that the DJ is still out there. You can find DJ Trackstyle at the links below.
Thanks for listening and downloading. Please remember to support the indie musicians.
The Music Vault – An Impressive Archive of Concerts
The Music Vault – An Amazingly Impressive Archive of Live Concerts
The Music Vault is a YouTube archive of concerts. The Music Vault has literally tens of thousands of concerts. Kudos to Open Culture for sharing this gem of a find.
If you are a Grateful Dead fan, you will love this YouTube channel. As Open Culture notes, The Grateful Dead have the most dominant presence on the site but, considering how many shows they did, shouldn't that just follow as reasonable?
The abundance of the dead can make it a bit tough to find other bands. However, try searching YouTube using "Music Vault + [insert band name here]" to filter out some of the Grateful Dead.
I spent about a half hour browsing the site. It is not that difficult to find artists other than The Dead. In my opinion, the site is well worth the browsing time. You may also wish to explore the link to Open Culture as they have many links to many artists. I picked one they didn't mention to share after the break.

Featureing I Don't Want to Work Today Music of Beatnik Turtle
Today is the first Monday of 2016 and it is, allegedly, the most depressing day of the year. This unofficial holiday is called Blue Monday. This day is celebrated annually on the first Monday of each year unless New Year's Day happens to fall on a Monday.
However, one should note that there is no evidence that it actually the most depressing day. In fact, there is debate as to whether it should be the second or third Monday of January.

Famed for its port production, Portugal's new generation of distillers are turning their talent to premium gin
Portugal is famous for its ancient Port production, but the country's new wave of distillers are turning their attention to another spirit: gin. In recent years, the Portuguese passion for the juniper-based drink has increased markedly, and along with the artisan gin and tonics popping up in bars, the country's own gin producers are now creating award-winning blends by combining traditional techniques with new ingredients. Here, we profile the names to know in Portuguese gin.
From the Bairrada region, Big Boss Gin was arguably Portugal's first premium gin and inspired the country's new wave of gin distillers. Big Boss was created after a year's worth of research and development, and it's made using a secret recipe of 11 botanicals that include cardamom and angelica root. The blend is also subject to four distillations performed according to artisan techniques and the result is a fresh and unique gin that can be garnished with pink peppercorns, juniper berries or spearmint. In addition to the traditional dry gin, Big Boss produces a pink gin, created with red fruits, which has a sweeter, fruity flavour that's best complemented by a garnish of strawberries or pomegranate seeds.
Launched in 2013, Sharish Gin is made in the Alentejo region, which is famous for its wine production. Founded by Antonio Cuco, who had previously worked as a teacher, Sharish gin incorporates plenty of indigenous Portuguese ingredients such as Alentejo's abundant supply of citrus fruits, picked from Antonio's estate, and Bravo Esmolfe Apple PDO, an Alentejo delicacy, as well as juniper and vanilla. Each ingredient is distilled separately in traditional Portuguese copper stills before being combined with a spirit base that's made from a mixture of rice and wheat. Expect a smooth gin with a pleasing fruity taste and pronounced notes of apple and citrus, best served with thin slices of apple. Antonio was inspired to launch Sharish Gin on account of his own passion for premium gins, and Sharish takes its name from the Arabic name for the charming town of Reguengos de Monsaraz, where Antonio lives. Alongside several limited edition serves, the company also produces a very popular, colour changing Blue Magic Gin. Thanks to a natural flower extract, the blue tincture transforms to pink when mixed with tonic water. You can sample it for yourself at the Tempus Lounge within Corinthia Hotel Lisbon.
Hailed as the Iberian Peninsula's first organic gin, Templus is made in the city of Évora, in Alentejo, and named after the city's famous Roman temple, which was built in the 1st century AD. In addition to only using organic ingredients, the manufacturing process is also painstaking, with each step (except for the filling of the bottles) performed by hand. Produced in small batches, the blend has a juniper base, but the inclusion of peppermint and pennyroyal, found locally, adds an intriguing flavour.
So called as it's made with 13 different botanicals, Gin 13 includes tangerine, jasmine flower and black tea. The botanical ingredients are distilled in traditional stills four times over before extracts of lemon and lemongrass are added along with hops, an ingredient that's most commonly associated with beer production. The design of the bottle references the superstition surrounding the number 13, decorated with symbols such as a four-leaf clover, black cats and skulls. Expect notes of liquorice, citrus and spicy cardamom as well a peppery flavour from the juniper. Best served with good quality tonic and a garnish of lime and cardamom.
Produced in the northernmost part of Portugal, Tinto Gin was inspired by the unspoilt natural landscape that surrounds the town of Valença. The area has a plentiful supply of fresh herbs and wildflowers, such as dill, blackberry, lemon balm, poppy and rosemary, which are all incorporated into Tinto Gin. Furthermore, the secret ingredient is perico, a locally grown variety of pear that has a deliciously sweet and sour taste. The spirit base is a mixture of rye and barley and the ingredients are slowly macerated in order to maximise their flavours. Garnish your Tinto Gin and tonic with curls of lemon zest and cardamom.

Technology in Preschool Classrooms
Working in the early childhood education sector is a challenge. With the passage of time and the advancements in technology, each generation demonstrates different levels of attention and assimilation speed. Before, it was common for schools to use abacuses, cubes, and educational materials to teach children words, numbers, shapes, among other things. However, today children are more attracted to SMART devices. Whether it be a tablet or a smartphone, children use these technologies as their new toys.
Therefore, the implementation of technological resources in the classroom has been a successful option for years. These resources provide numerous advantages to teachers and students when it comes to the implementation of their educational methodology. Besides, it is proven that it is easier to capture and retain the attention of children with visually rich resources, which can be reinforced through audio and animations. Let's face it, it is easier to use motion graphics or video games to teach them about nature, animals, plants, and numbers than to explain it to them on paper. It gets them excited and fosters their natural curiosity. It can even help them see numbers as their friends and not something to be intimidated about.
It is always important to keep in mind that each child is different. They all have different rhythms and interests. This is something that technology can help with because it provides us with different ways to scaffold the teaching material and personalize it to each child's individual needs. It can also foster teamwork by having them work together towards a common goal.
Teachers are responsible for defining the presence that each device will have in their classroom and must use different tactics and strategies that help them achieve their objective, develop a fun educational environment. Therefore, it is important for teachers to know about the tools that will help them provide this knowledge to their students, tools that can be used both in the classroom and at home with parents. It can transform the way a child sees a tablet. It can help them understand that is not just a gaming device but a tool they play like a game as they work on their homework and further their learning.
At Genius Plaza we work with a large team of qualified teachers that continuously develop applications designed to help parents and teachers increase their children's learning in languages, STEM, among others. All of this while the children play and have fun.

Fortune was kind, affording us a sunny November weekend to explore this very engaging city. Apparently it had been raining consistently for more than a week prior! A downpour would have certainly soured a leisurely stroll by the Willamette River as well as a casual visit to the Saturday (and Sunday) market.
The market wares available for purchase were quite diverse: hand made art of various media, jewelry, hand-woven scarves, soaps and candles. Several of the sculptures and water colors were particularly interesting. The artists were often present and in many cases there creating new art.
Portland is a walking city with vibrant neighborhoods filled with unique shops and restaurants. There are several self-guided walking tour possibilities and the market is a great starting point. The Saturday Market is in the Old China Town district, which was Portland's original downtown. Close by foot is the Pearl District, known for its hip character, stylish shops and the famous Powell's Books.

Freshman duo helps Quinnipiac sweep Yale in ECAC Hockey playoff series
NEW HAVEN — It was a pair of freshmen that led the Quinnipiac men's hockey team into the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals.
Odeen Tufto had a goal and an assist while goaltender Keith Petruzzelli came within 7 minutes of a shutout as the Bobcats defeated Yale 3-1 before a sellout crowd of 3,500 at Ingalls Rink.
With the win the Bobcats (16-16-4) swept Yale two games to none in the best-of-3 first-round series. Since joining the ECAC 13 seasons ago, Quinnipiac has won at least one playoff series. Its opponent next weekend is to be determined, contingent on the results of two series that went to third games.
Rensselaer plays Colgate while St. Lawrence takes on Dartmouth. Both games are tonight. If both higher seeds win, Quinnipiac would head to top-seeded Cornell. Other possible destinations are second-seeded Union and third-seeded Clarkson.
Princeton, the seventh-seed, defeated Brown 7-1 to complete a sweep on Saturday night.
Yale finished the season 15-15-1.
Quinnipiac had the decided edge in play during the first period. In what was a continuation of the previous night, the Bobcats were first to every loose puck while cycling and passing with little opposition.
Sophomore goalie Corbin Kaczperski was the difference for Yale early on. The sophomore goaltender stopped 11 shots, including a huge denial on the Bobcats lone power play of the period.
Yale finally got something going offensively in the final two minutes, and had a late flurry interrupted by the horn ending the first period.
The Bobcats scored twice in the second period, with freshman forward Odeen Tufto in the middle of both goals.
Tufto, who entered the weekend leading the country with 31 assists, found himself with the puck behind the Yale cage. He threw a no-look, backhanded feed out front that eluded two Bulldog sticks and found defenseman Chase Priskie on the far post. Priskie, who has feasted on Yale during his career, buried a one-timer to make it 1-0.
Seven minutes later, Tanner MacMaster sent a cross ice feed to Tufto, who had plenty of time to line up and pick a spot for his ninth goal of the season.
Midway through the third period, the Bobcats put the game away. Defenseman Brogan Rafferty finished a rush with a nice move and backhander past Kaczperski to make it a three-goal lead.
Kevin O'Neil spoiled Petruzzelli's shutout bid, scoring Yale's lone goal with 6:39 remaining.
The Bulldogs pressed in the closing minutes, using an extra attacker to close the gap to one goal, but were unsuccessful. Alex Whalen scored an empty-net goal for the second straight night to make it a 4-1 game, ending Yale's chances.
