ACES AMONG ACES BY LAURENCE LA TOURETTE DRIGGS AIR duels were unknown four years ago. Boys of 18 or 20, untaught and inexperienced in the art, have flown aloft and mastered it-mastered it so thoroughly that less prudent antago nists have fallen before them, sometimes six in one day. At least a score of such duels have been reported where the victor won by the expenditure of a single bullet ! Lufbery for America, Guynemer for France, Bishop for Great Britain, and von Richthofen for Germany have tow ered above their comrades from the popular viewpoint because of their con spicuous successes in this new art of aeroplane dueling. To promote this new and spectacular branch of warfare, the rival air forces of the belligerents have constructed the swiftest and deadliest types of aero planes, to be manned by their air duel ists-expert sharpshooters and pilots whose duty it is both to attack the heavy bombing and reconnaissance planes of the enemy and to defend their own slower aeroplanes from chasing aviators. Each belligerent nation has collected the cream of its sharpshooters into one squadron, or escadrille, where as one unit they can be hurled into a threatened area with every prospect of success over less skilled antagonists. THE PREMIER ESCADRILLE France has her Cigognes ("Storks"), the celebrated Spad 3, to which belong Fonck, Heurteaux, Pinsard, Deullin, Gond, Herrison, the Americans Baylies and Parsons, and those who have made the sacrifice supreme-Guynemer, Au ger, Rene Dorme, and de la Tour. America has her Escadrille Lafayette, which was commanded by Major Luf bery and which stands third among all the fighting escadrilles of France in the number of enemy aeroplanes shot down. The British have R. F. C. Squadron No. I, which is commanded by Captain Fullard and which brought down 200 German aeroplanes in a short six months. And the Germans entrusted their hopes to the famous Tango Circus, so nick named by the English pilots by reason of the close formation in which the gaudily painted aeroplanes of this enemy unit flew. The victories claimed by this band amount to more than double those ac corded to any single squadron of the Allies. And the commander of this Jagdstaffel No. 11 holds the world rec ord in air dueling, for he lived to conquer 80 enemy machines. FONCK, OF THE CIGOGNES The most polished aerial duelist the world has ever seen is Rene Fonck, aged 23, now flying with, the Cigognes, Spad 3. This is the famous fighting escadrille that was commanded by Guynemer: at the time of his disappearance, September II, 1917. Curiously enough, Lieutenant Fonck, who was then a member of Escadrille N. (Nieuport) 103, was Guynemer's avenger. He shot down on September 21 the German pilot, Lieutenant Wissemann, who had written home to his mother in Cologne, boasting that he had been vic torious over Guynemer and now need fear no one. As no proof of Guynemer's death has yet been found, the truth of Wissemann's claim is doubted. Consider the details of Fonck's record. Up to April 3, 1918, he had shot down officially 32 enemy aircraft, engaged in upward of 200 combats, flown over I,ooo hours above the enemy's lines, yet had never received a bullet hole in his aero plane! Now he has 45 enemy planes on his tablet and is the French ace of aces. Most of his combats are against for mations of five or more enemies. While delivering the coup de grace to one he must prevent a surprise from the others. How he succeeds in this could never be satisfactorily explained, yet that he does succeed is beyond question. Such incred ible perfection in maneuvering and such rapid and infallible accuracy of aim have never been equalled by any other fight ing pilot.

In America, we throw away over 60 million tons of food each year. That makes us world leaders in the department of food waste (Go America!). According to the EPA, food waste is the largest single contributor to landfills, comprising about 21% of the total waste stream. And landfills, with their decomposing food waste, contribute about 20% of the total methane gases that adversely affect our climate today. So why do we chuck away nearly 40% of the food produced here?
According to an article in The Atlantic, the reasons is twofold: Calories are cheap and we're picky.
In our sanitized food system, we shy away from fruits and vegetables that are blemished or misshapen. They don't taste any less delicious. They just aren't perfect. So either they get tossed before they end up in the produce section, or the farmers don't even bother to send them to market, either leaving them in the ground or sending them to landfills.
This is insane behavior.
We are a country of consumers who get squeamish because our carrots or apples are not photo ready. With farmers it's more complicated. There are cost of harvest vs. price at market issues, subsidies that dictate harvests and other factors. But even if we set aside the obvious implications of converting food waste to address food insecurity, throwing away fruit and vegetables because they're not pretty is flat out making our planet hotter.
Back in 2015, the EPA pledged to reduce food waste by 50% by the year 2030 to lessen the impact on climate change. But that was then. And given that the current head of the EPA thinks that climate change is a scientific hoax, I don't think we can rely on them to hold to this initiative.
So what can we citizens do? Well, we can make the topic better known by talking about it. In July, there's a Food Waste Fair https://www.foodwastefair.nyc/, billed as a soup to nuts event to help reduce food loss and waste. And in September, Food Tank, a think tank for the food system is hosting a Summit focusing on Food Loss and Food Waste. Further with Food (https://furtherwithfood.org/) also provides an excellent starting point for understanding the issue.
But talk alone won't change things. We have to do more. Personally, I think the only way we can begin to solve this is by creating businesses that deal with food waste. Entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to find solutions to some pain that people are feeling.
Like the pain the 40% of the global population living in coastal areas are going to feel as higher temperatures continue to melt the ice pack at unprecedented levels and raise the sea levels.
There are businesses doing something about food waste, like D.C. Central Kitchen, Intermarché, Misfit Juicery and others. Last time I checked, there were over 60 businesses that had some connection to food waste. That's a start.
The truth is, as big as the problem is, the amount of opportunity is even larger. The pain is there. It's our jobs as entrepreneurs to find ways to ease that pain. The clock is ticking.

"Life in HR is different every day," said Human Resources manager and Washtenaw Community College alumna Barb Brown. "There's never a dull moment."
After working 15-plus years in Human Resources, Brown has seen and heard it all at IHA Internal Medicine–Domino's Farms.
It can be something as simple as determining an employee's start date or something as challenging as resolving conflict among colleagues. No matter what lands on her desk, Brown seems to handle it with ease. She credits the solid foundation established during her time at WCC for her success.
In 2011, Brown earned a Human Resources Management certificate after many years away from the classroom.
The mother of three says she always planned on returning to school once her children reached a certain age.
Naturally, though, Brown had some qualms about going back to school, but she says everyone at WCC — from the advisors to the bookstore employees — went above and beyond to make her feel welcome.
"The smaller classes, knowledgeable deans and professors, affordable tuition, community feel — you can't find that anywhere else," Brown said. "From the moment I arrived on campus to the moment I graduated, I loved my time here. WCC gave me confidence."
Brown carries that same confidence with her into her office every day.
Part of Brown's responsibilities include problem solving, training and recruitment. So, what does she look for when hiring a candidate?
"Of course, education and experience factor into making a decision, but we place a lot of emphasis on attitude, both the candidate's and our own," she said. "People will remember how they were treated above anything else."
And because Brown knows firsthand the quality education WCC students receive, she never hesitates to bring them on board when graduation rolls around.
Within the Family & Internal Medicine Division, Brown oversees a group of approximately 350 people, so the workload can be overwhelming at times.
"I can't help everyone, but I can help someone," she said. "Knowing that makes me feel good at the end of the day."
Maintaining a good sense of humor through it all, Brown insists, is the key to fostering a healthy and nurturing environment, something she says she experienced while at WCC.
"I never felt like a number at WCC. All my instructors knew my name, so I felt like I mattered," Brown said. "I can't say enough great things about the college. I felt so safe there."

Day 20 of my "365 Days" project. Winter woods.
I snapped this during my daily (woods) walk. We're fortunate to have nature literally around the corner. I feel not so fortunate though when deers plough through the garden at night and eat all flowers. Oddily enough, they don't like peonies that are my favorites.
I simply love peonies. Here a Dr. Alexander Fleming in full bloom. Only five months until this beauty is back!

A Fairly Sad Tale - Poem by Dorothy Parker
I think that I shall never know
Why I am thus, and I am so.
Around me, other girls inspire
In men the rush and roar of fire,
The sweet transparency of glass,
The tenderness of April grass,
The durability of granite;
But me- I don't know how to plan it.
The lads I've met in Cupid's deadlock
Were- shall we say?- born out of wedlock.
They broke my heart, they stilled my song,
And said they had to run along,
Explaining, so to sop my tears,
First came their parents or careers.
But ever does experience
Deny me wisdom, calm, and sense!
Though she's a fool who seeks to capture
The twenty-first fine, careless rapture,
I must go on, till ends my rope,
Who from my birth was cursed with hope.
A heart in half is chaste, archaic;
But mine resembles a mosaic-
The thing's become ridiculous!
Why am I so? Why am I thus?

Dorothy Parker wrote with superlative wit.
In her poetry and prose alike.
Her ironic turn of phrase doesn't cease to smile out at us from a cheeky sideways gaze.
Notwithstanding the earnest gravity in her questions (Why? and why?) , her regard holds fast to its humor (neither pallid nor pink) . An onerous thought in an onerous world lives cheek by jowl with laughter; unblanched and effervescent....... Er possibly that of the damned.
But damned she is a pleasure.
What succor, moreover, to return once and then to a modernist poet that can rhyme in verse without, all the while, being carried where the RHYME wants to go!

Dorothy Parker's easy rhyming couplets are very 'Alexander Pope' while the humour - 'A fairly sad tale' - and colloquial language are distinctly modern. (Report)Reply

Descanso offers a complete line of coordinating bath accessories so homeowners and designers can personalize their space with one-of-a-kind looks that are raw, rustic and stylishly functional.
"The knurling on the handles is a stylistic nod to precision tools," says Noah Taft, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales, explaining, "It's a distinctive detail that speaks to the industrial look of the series."
A new living finish called Burnished Brass is lightly abraded to create a worn, natural look that will patina over time and shows of the striking low-profile design. Best described as beautifully imperfect, the vintage finish set the tone for the entire series.
A Roman Tub Set Trim and full range of accessories fills out the series making a fully coordinated bath easy.
The distinct knurling detail and Burnished Brass finish give the series a signature look while offering further customization with carbon fiber handle detail. Resilient carbon fiber material that is sleek black and ultralight add a touch of modern, high-tech style to the series.
All of California Faucet have quality fittings, are made of solid brass, and come in more than 20 artisan finishes, which are guaranteed against tarnishing.

The Power of a Graceful Retreat
'The first decision you will face in responding to a career disaster is the question of whether to confront the situation that brought you down--with an exhausting, expensive and perhaps embarrassing battle--or try to put it behind you as quickly as possible, in the hope that no one will notice or remember for long. In some cases, it's best to avoid immediate and direct confrontation. Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, for example, decided to sidestep the quicksand of litigation against Sandy Sigoloff, the conglomerateur who fired Marcus from Handy Dan Home Improvement. Marcus made his battleground the marketplace rather than the courtroom. Thanks to this strategy, he was free to set the historic course for the Home Depot, which now under his successor is approaching $100 billion in sales, with several hundred thousand employees. Other comeback kids also began with a graceful retreat.'
--from an article in the January issue of the Harvard Business Review, "Firing Back: How Great Leaders Rebound After Career Disasters." According to research conducted by the authors, 35% of ousted CEOs return to an active executive role within two years, and about 43% effectively end their careers.

It was a Sunday in my town.
It was a time for hugs and handshakes.
It was a table for vats of coffee, for buttery, church-lady baked pastries.
It was a tightening of guitar strings, a warming up of voices, a tempo check and a song change.
It was a sanctuary.
It was a Sunday in my town.
It was a moment for quietness and reflection
It was a morning for harmonies melding into song-streams stealing out across the field.
It was a hearing with the heart, an opening of the soul's doors, a lighting of the spark of the Divine.
It was a sanctuary.
It was a Sunday in another town.
It was a laugh and a making of plans with friends who felt like family.
It was a lady rocking other women's babies so mammas could sit in stillness for a moment.
It was a waiting for the passing of the cup, a rustling of a parchment page, a settling of the spirit.
It was a sanctuary.
It would not be just another Sunday in that town.
It would be a shattering of plans and futures.
It would be a silencing of heartbeats and a stillness of breath.
It would be an ending of innocence, a quietness louder than imagined, a stepping through the veil.
It would not be a sanctuary.
But there will come another Sunday in each of us.
There will be a rising of hope.
There will be a resurrection of dreams.
There will be a life that outlives the grave.
It will be a sanctuary of hearts and souls like we have never glimpsed.
May we make Sunday in our hearts,
May we gather with those we love, and with those we must choose to love.
May we grieve with those who ache, holding their sorrows as our own.
May we begin a crossing over the chasms, over the hatred, over the lies that say we are different.
May we be a sanctuary for another; may we be Sunday, bringing a candle of light to our small corner today.

Get it while you can...
* There's nothing cheesy about this holiday. National Grilled Cheese Day, which falls on Thursday, April 12, celebrates America's favorite sandwich. Murray's Cheese is getting in on the action by handing out vouchers for a free Murray's Melt to the first 100 people who purchase something in its West Village (254 Bleecker St.) store that day. (The shop opens at 8 a.m. Thursday.)
The bad news: the vouchers are not redeemable that day, so you'll have to come back on a later date to cash in. The good: Murray's Melt — the shops's signature grilled cheese sandwich that sells for $6.99 at the Made by Murray's counter — is made with a delicious and secret blend of cheeses and served on sourdough bread.
If you're not one of the lucky ones to score a free sandwich, you can still celebrate the wider National Grilled Cheese Month at Murray's. Each Monday in April, the shop is introducing a different grilled cheese sandwich at the Bleecker St. store. At the end of the month, the most-loved sandwich will be added to the menu for a limited time. On deck for the rest of the month are: The French Onion Sheep (April 9-15), made with Pyrenees Brebis (sheep's milk cheese) with Three Little Figs French Onion Confit, cornichons, and fried onions on sourdough bread; The Garden Goat (April 16-22), made with the shop's Young Goat Gouda with kale, shallots, tomatoes, and a sunny-side up egg on sourdough bread; and The Truffalo Buffalo (April 23-29), made with Murray's Buffalo Mozzarella and Murray's Parmigiano Reggiano with truffle pesto and white truffle oil on sourdough bread.
New to the scene...
* You'll be feeling groovy while you indulge in sips and eats at The Woodstock — a new '60s-inspired cocktail lounge and pizza bar in the Meatpacking District . Just steps from from the Highline, at 446 W. 14th St., the space is meant to mimic a living room and is decked with a rotating set of 24 Salvador Dali pieces.
Cocktails, priced at $10 each, are named for '60s songs, albums and other counter culture references. They include the Light My Fire, which makes use of a lightbulb as a vessel, and is made with Sauza 901 tequila, Curacao liqueur, lemon and blueberry habanero; and the Yellow Submarine, made with Bombay Dry Gin, Martini Riserva Ambrato, Suze, and peach bitters.
A list of unique thin-crust pizzas — all $15 and named for culturally impactful women from the '60s — include the Yoko, topped with smoked mozzarella, caramelized onions, pancetta and fried egg.
* Smoking is allowed at this New York restaurant — at least on the menu. Quality Meats in Midtown (57 W. 58 St.) just debuted The Smoking Section, an area within the steakhouse with its own menu of smoked spirits, cocktails and food.
No, you can't light up in there, but you can grab a seat at the bar in this walk-in section that doesn't take reservations. Cocktails include The Campfire Cocktail ($19), made with mesquite-smoked single malt, orange marmalade and lapsang tea and served in a plaid thermos; and the Smoky Gimlet ($17), made with Gracias a Dios Mezcal Gin, coconut and charred lime.
Among the smoked bar bites are Everything Potato Skins ($18, piled with smoked salmon, smoked whitefish, caviar and dill); and Devils On Horseback Sliders ($19, rye with bacon jam, dates, Maytag blue cheese and caramelized onions).

As mentioned at the very end of my last posting, Martin Parr has influenced many up and coming photographers, either directly as a tutor or indirectly as they view his work. Peter Dench is no exception. He uses colour photography to explore social relations and human behaviour up there with the best of them. Like Parr some of his images cause controversy and spark debates over ethics. The course notes describe his work as 'dispassionate, grotesque…voyeuristic and manipulative.' Strong adjectives!
Read the article on England Uncensored by the BBC Picture Editor Phil Coomes.
Dench talks about his "humorous approach with an underlying social commentary". What do you think of this approach? Does it work? What are the ethical issues?
The article opens up with the usual list of suspects who influenced Dench's work: Bill Brandt, Tony Ray Jones, Tom Wood and of course Martin Parr. Dench also cites others, such as Greg Leach and Paul Reas. As with Anna Fox who took inspiration from many avenues he also cites writers and comedians such as Tim Dowling.
Living by the sea Peter found himself drawn to the Last Resort:
The first colours I saw were saturated; striped deck chairs, arcade rides, Punch and Judy. The Last Resort echoed a familiar world from my youth, a saturated slap about the face, colours that burned a permanent impression directly onto the retina. Working on foreign assignments across the globe has clarified to me just how different, how fabulous, and at times, how ridiculous the English are.
England Uncensored reflects this view and makes a social comment upon English customs and behaviours reminiscent of Parr. Dench readily acknowledges this influence, but also comments, 'I would like to think I would have arrived at the style of photography I have regardless of Parr… having walked in Parr's footsteps, confirmed why I will always be a photographer and why I will always document the English; to photograph what is real, to record the present in an attempt to preserve the nation's past.'
An early project, which precursored England Uncensored, won World Press Photo Award. Containing both humour and an anthropological angle he continued to use a 'humorous approach with an underlying social commentary…[with] themes of ethnicity, love, the weather, clothing and food.The humour disarms viewers allowing the impact of a more serious image dropped into the sequence to be tenfold….If you could travel the world, make people laugh and make people think, that was a fine way to live.'
Dench set out to photograph not only what was familiar, but also that about which he had no idea, for example: 'posh schools, social summer events, jollies and jamborees' This was to enable him to create 'a rounded look at the English.'
In England Uncensored Dench offers us, 'a laugh out loud romp through this often badly behaved nation, it is not an idealized brochure of a green and pleasant land…it is important for us as a nation to remember who we really are, warts and all.' To be honest that's what I think he serves up. We are, at this juncture, only asked to review this body of work. I went to his website, looked at what I presume to be all the images contained within the book, and can't find an issue with any of them. Certainly nothing that on the surface looked as critically at people as the Last Resort. It may be that later projects developed a more biting approach, but I found nothing in this work that was offensive, grotesque or manipulative?
As far as ethics are concerned? He doesn't conceal what he is doing, as Parr often points out, legally anyone is entitled to photograph in public areas. If people are out and about wearing unflattering clothes or are strippers performing for the crowd, they expect to be seen that way. I think only a few from this set captured people not at their best, or represented the less attractive parts of society, but I repeat nothing grotesque?
I found laugh out loud humour, juxtapositions that made me snigger, loving relationships, typical quirky English behaviour and customs. Possible negative social commentary about alcohol, obesity, irresponsible dog owners and a few loose morals. Whilst I agree that humour can disarm and make the more serious photographs have more impact, I struggled to work out which ones were considered to be serious. I saw the influence of Parr, but Dench does seem to embrace slightly more surrealism in his realism…if that makes sense. However, unlike Parr I couldn't find any subtle nuances or criticism of either the subjects or the establishment. There are not the multi-layered messages you get with Parr, everything is on the surface. What you see is what you get, but I think this was his intention; I really don't see a more downbeat or grotesque Englishness. May be that says more about me than Dench?

Let me start by saying that I'm not pro or anti-wave. I couldn't care less if people sitting near me at a ballgame want to stand up and sit down in organized succession. But it's one of those polarizing things that some fans seem to hate with a passion.
Last season, the bullpen went on record with its opinion that the wave should be squashed.
"Kill it," Ryan Mattheus told me last season. "It's the worst thing in sports. Sit down and watch the game….The thing about it is, you should be into what's going on on the field, not what's going on in the stands. It takes away from the game. I definitely understand why people hate it….I definitely vote kill the wave."
Little did he know that he would inspire a movement with those words.
Some fans have started an underground effort to end the wave at Nats Park, complete with "Kill the Wave" T-shirts and a letter asking wavers to stop it. Stop it right now.
"Lately, it just sort of seems to be a thing that — come the sixth inning — somebody wants to do the wave, regardless of the situation in the game," Frank Lattuca of Nats101 told WTOP. "It is a fun thing to do … But it indicates you're not really paying attention to the game that's going on, and it distracts other people too."
The folks at Nationals Archive are also on board this train, but it seems to me that proof is in the numbers here. The best way to end the Wave is to just not do it. But the fact that it continues to roll through the stadium tells us that the anti-wavers seem to be outnumbered.

Community Engagement
De Novo believes that in order to be effective planners, we must regularly engage with the community in a meaningful way to understand their vision, goals, and values. This means that at the heart of our project approach is a tailored community engagement program that reflects the unique opportunities and constraints of each client. We especially look for strategies to connect with communities in ways that are easy and familiar to them, such as online, via social media, at community events like farmers markets and concerts in the park, and at hosted community workshops.
A successful community engagement program can build trust long beyond the length of a specific planning project. We value our role in helping develop a partnership between community members and our clients, and as part of this effort, we work hard to explain to the public their role in the process and how their input will influence the outcome. Our philosophy is rooted in the training of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) and senior members of our team are professionally certified by IAP2 to plan and implement a wide variety of engagement techniques.
• Visioning Workshops for the cities of Brentwood, La Verne, Manteca, Milpitas, Sebastopol
• Community design charrettes for the Springs Specific Plan and PA-1 Specific Plan
• Community-wide workshops
• Pop-up events
• Newsletters for the cities of Brentwood, Campbell, La Verne, Manteca, and Milpitas

Does A Doctor Contemplate My Fate?
Well, indirectly, though they wont know about it at the time,yes, they will.
Assuming that the fairly obvious is correct, and after the bone density scan, they do decide that my issue with my back is osteoporosis related, there are a couple of fairly obvious supplements I could be given to try and ease, and hopefully cure the issue, to some degree at least. One is calcium supplements, which would help to strengthen the bone, which I'm pretty sure is needed. The other one, and more relevant to this blog, is (o)estrogen supplements, as would be given to menopausal women under these circumstances. Yes, I'm sort of doing the double spelling thing here, as both options seem equally used, though I will settle for the estrogen version from now on, when writing this. In fact, its quite possible, and some say quite likely that I will get both!
One thing I've always said is that if the situation arose, where I felt the need, or desire to have the actual Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS), then I would get it done. In truth, the main reason I've put myself off it, is the surgery issue, I'm not one of those people who love pain, in that sense at least! So given I have no sexual desires, and no partner, or potential partner who wants to get close in that way with me, I've passed on the matter, up to now.
But yes, I have had a think about it, and I've come to the conclusion that if a doctor, or group of doctors think I should be on estrogen supplements, then maybe I should take that as a hint that I really ought to take that last step to womanhood after all. I know, its still going to hurt, but I'm not sure it could be much more hellish than the pain I went through before getting on serious painkillers for the fracture in my back. And hey, lets face it, if anyone ever actually enters my new vagina sexually, I will be amazed. But yes, going to meet my maker, as a proper woman, it would be nice, I must admit.
But equally, I'm not going to be the one that actually makes the decision for me, as in truth, I've got a life now that suits me fine. All my paperwork says I'm a woman, and thats the main thing for me, but all the same…? So yes, if I get put on estrogen supplements, for my osteoporosis, I'm going to take that as a signal from a doctor, or 'higher person' that I really ought to become a woman for real. I know, a proper get out, but at least this way, I know its destiny, if it happens, which is fine by me.
I suspect its fair to say that therefore, a number of people will be hoping that the doctors do decide to put me on estrogen, so I go ahead and do it. There might be one or two hoping otherwise, but I suspect the vast majority who know me, and know about me would love to see me do it. Hell, I'd probably be glad I did it, after its done, but just at the moment, yes, the pain issue concerns me!
But yes, if in about 6 weeks time, or so, I announce that the decision is estrogen supplements for me, and I try to get out of this, dont let me! An angel will have contemplated my fate, made that decision for me, so…it will be done! Mind, unless someone wants to pay for me to do it privately, the length of time it might take on the NHS, well who knows when it will actually happen lol?
Oh fine, I might have given a couple of clues to the video here. This is a delightful live version, from the concert in Manchester that happened after the awful events there at a concert earlier this year.
Does an Angel contemplate my fate?
When I say I have a wonderful friend in Colorado, I mean the type of friend that 20 years ago, I would never have dreamed of having. Yes, the online type. If you'd told me back then that we would talk to, and feel we know people, halfway across the world, that I've never met, nor am I likely to meet, and I would have laughed at you back then. Now, its seemingly the most natural thing to have. To be fair, the number of people who I have never met, or only met because of the magic of the internet, is an amazingly high number, especially for a more mature lady like me. But yes, I've been blessed to meet to, or pass words with so many of them. There are a pair of people (James, and Kate, for example) in the NE of the US who are very special to me, and they know it. As to others I've either met briefly (Tina and Eden, again for examples), or currently, am yet to meet (Stacie, Penny, and Diane amongst many), they've played a part in my life, both online, and real.
Well, anyway, Diane is an author, far more talented than me. I would say go to her website, and buy something, but I'm not going to force you to. But if you want to take a look, go to http://www.banditsranch.com/ and do so.
Anyway, last month, she had a contest, to tie into a giveaway she had (at time of writing, its on her home page), and I took my chance. I didnt expect to win, but I like to support her as much as I can, given I'm not in a position to go on a book buying spree at present. So I took my chance, and wrote something. To my surprise, and delight, when I switched my computer on yesterday morning, I had received a magical reading from her, and my angels. Honoured, and delighted, you have no idea!
No, I'm not going to quote you all the details, if anyone does want to see it, comment, with an address, and I'll send it on. But yes, I'm told I need to wipe my slate clean, and look forward to my fresh life, in my future. Oh fine, I'd like my slate quite literally wiped clean, but as far as I know (sadly), brainwashing isnt yet a practical option, if only it was. But those angels are keen to work on my dreams, and make my life in future, so much better! I know, given much of the last year, not hard, but lets not reflect on that. Funnily enough, I got one of those silly Facebook milestones this morning, which reminded me that just over 8 years ago (given the time it would have taken to get the pictures) was actually the first time I worked as a woman! Yes, its happened a lot of times since then, for sure!
I know, I know, not every reader here will believe in angels, and the like, and everyone is free to believe what they wish. So if you want to believe its true, fine. Equally, if you want to believe its just me being soft again, thats fine too. In recent times, I've also been asked if I believe in Aliens, Ghosts, and Witches, and said yes to all 3! Not because I've met any, but…I believe they're out there somewhere!
But what I am sure of, despite all the talk, is that the internet can be a wonderful place to make very special friends, and that is true. Yes, it can also be a dangerous place, but for me, I know who are in the majority at least.
Right, video time. Yes, the obvious one, even more so, given the blog title is a line of the lyrics.

CEOs and executives are increasingly leading digital change initiatives in organizations
By Chelsea Bawab, PSIGEN – Digital transformation in organizations doesn't happen by osmosis—someone has to take the lead and steer the company toward digital change. The AIIM Industry Watch report "2017 State of Information Management" takes a look at who is actually driving digital change in the workplace.
The most obvious answer is IT professionals. After all, technology is their trade. And while 39% of the businesses surveyed by AIIM said that IT leaders are the ones pushing digital transformation in their companies, 31% of respondents actually said corporate executives are the drivers of digital change in their organizations.
According to Gartner's 2016 CEO and Senior Business Executive Survey, many CEOs have expressed an understanding that digital business is substantial enough that they need to personally lead digital initiatives in their organizations. In fact, in recent years, there has been a significant rise in CEOs taking the reins on digital transformation.

Freddy: [...] Oh, I uh, you know I don't mean to embarrass you, but I'm rather a brilliant surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump.
Igor: What hump?
by The FrankensTeam
The inspiration for this post came from Visualizing MBTA data project by Mike Barry and Brian Card where we found a great interactive chart under chapter How People and Trains Affect Each Other.
Here is a static screenshot about the chart:
Quote from the original study: "The gray bands show the total number of entries into the all stations per minute over time for each day of the week."
Each row represents one day, where the darker grey means more people. This graphic could be a good choice to visualize small and large data together, especially if you need to compare more data series.
To replicate the chart in Excel is very easy. The chart type is area chart with more series - as many as the number of grey belts you want. You simply need to shift the original data by a chosen number called limit (according to the number of grey belts). For example imagine that your original data is scaled from 0 to 2000. Draw the original chart (the lightest-grey) and choose 500 as limit - so you will have 4 belts. Cut the chart to 4 pieces: below 500, from 500 to 1000, from 1000 to 1500 and above 1500. Now put the 4 pieces on top of each other.
This is what you see in the orange frame below:
In Excel you can realize it by shifting the original data down by 0, 500, 1000, 1500 and put the 4 series to the chart. Simply create a data table and minus these numbers from the original data. Create the area chart with 4 series and set the axis limit accordingly: minimum 0 maximum 500.
Note: This way the slope of the area-parts will be correct. If we changed the data above 500 to 500 and below 0 to 0, the slope would not be correct because the lines would start from incorrect point on the horizontal axis.
We created an example using traffic data about the famous Hungarian "Line 1" which is the second oldest underground railway in the world (opened in 1896) and listed as UNESCO World Heritage.
Data (col. C) and chart series (E-H) of Station 8 (Bajza utca - Hősök tere):
and chart of Station 8:
(enlargement of the above orange frame)
As you can see, this kind of chart clearly displays the details for the whole range of values. The color emphasized 'wrapping' allows the easy visual identification of the higher value sections.
You can download our file.
The final chart showing all the stations together looks like this:
We simply copied the charts to one sheet, and put on oversized chart with gridlines, legend and horizontal scale to the background.
Now you are wondering why Croissant is in the title? Gábor named the chart because its layers are similar to this bakery product (in Hungarian we name it "kifli")
Kris published a tutorial in Hungarian too.

It has been confirmed that Gazillion Entertainment's "Marvel Heroes" video game is being cancelled.
The "Diablo"-esque title was first released for PC in 2013 as a free-to-play title and ported to both Xbox One and PS4 earlier this year. Now, in a statement to Kotaku, a Marvel representative confirmed the game's shut down:
"We regret to inform our Marvel Heroes fans that we have ended our relationship with Gazillion Entertainment, and that the Marvel Heroes games will be shut down. We would like to sincerely thank the players who joined the Marvel Heroes community, and will provide any further updates as they become available."
Though the game was designed to be free-to-play, players spent real money to purchase characters and costumes for them.

TravelBank is an all-in-one travel & expense app that rewards you for saving. Who doesn't want to get recognized for coming in under your travel budget? TravelBanks helps companies save money while employees are motivated to save through rewards. And on top of that, they have revolutionary software to make travel expenses almost painless. Hard to believe, we know. And that is where we come in. The primary vision when TravelBank came to us was to tell the story of the end user in a way that shows the compelling use case of the technology. We wanted to tell stories that were relatable, visually compelling, and at times, a little tongue-in-cheek.
When TravelBank first came to us, they needed a film about their rewards feature before a big press release. But what they said from the beginning was that they needed on-going content, that they were wanting to start building content into their overall strategy. And that was new for them. This is our sweet spot. We love working with clients who have a vision for an on-going partnership and who are new to video content. We build a collaborative partnership where we dive deep into understanding their brand and how it will continue to grow. And then we translate that into a video content. After that first rewards film, we worked on a social campaign, help build YouTube ads and even a series of content for their annual conference. And every time they come back to us with a new idea, they know that we already the company history and brand understanding to jump right in. It's like being an additional member of the team.
The first film (reward points) had 54,883 views on YouTube and a shorter ad version also had 34,627 views on YouTube.

A few weeks ago I attended the lounge of the Viktigt collection for Ikea (2016). In collaboration with designers Nike Karlsson and Wibeke Braasch, Ingegerd Råman has created a fine collection of everyday objects in glass, ceramics and straw. I am especially fond of the serving plates, glass bowls and carpet. The whole collection is very nice, but Ingegerd Råman is somewhat of a nestor of Swedish design and her contributions stand out as exceptional in this collection. Limited edition.

A highly lucky cricket fan took an impressive one-handed NZD 50,000 catch in the stands of New Zealand vs Australia's tri-series T20 clash at the Eden Park on Friday. The NZD 50,000 reward was a part of the Tui Catch a Million promotion, which roughly amounts to INR 24 lakh.
New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor smashed Australia bowler Andrew Tye's delivery for a huge six – the second last ball of New Zealand's innings – over the square-leg boundary. The ball which went straight into the audiences, was caught by an Auckland student, Mitch Grimstone, who grabbed a low left-handed catch during New Zealand's innings in the T20 match of the tri-series against Australia.
The rare catch rewarded Mitch Grimstone with a huge amount of NZD 50,000, as New Zealand matched their highest-ever T20 score (243 runs), in the Tri-series clash against Australia. The amount was rewarded to Mitch Grimstone as a part of Tui Catch a Million competition.
What is Tui Catch a Million competition?
The Tui catch-taking competition is an opportunity for cricket fans to earn huge amounts of money, while impressing the viewers with their catching skills. For the competition to be active at a stadium, there are dedicated "catch zones" created at venues, in which Tui Catch-A-Million contestants will have to be located in order to qualify for the prize. Catches taken by contestants outside these "catch zones" are deemed ineligible.
However, the "catch zone" requirement was nullified for Westpac Stadium, and the Eden Park, where Mitch Grimstone became the lucky cricket fan to get a hold of the ball in the stands, earning himself NZD 50,000.
Mitch Grimstone, who became the lucky one in New Zealand's Tri-series T20 clash against Australia on Friday (16 Feb), is the second winner in the Tui Catch a Million promotion, with the first catch winner being announced in last month's ODI between New Zealand and Pakistan in Dunedin.
The $50,000 catch taker becomes social media sensation
Mitch Grimstone, who was the lucky cricket fan to take perhaps the most sought-after catch in the ongoing tri-series, became an instant hit on social media. As reported by NZ Herald, Grimstone told the media after receiving his NZD 50,000 cheque,
"Pretty surreal – it all happened real fast, all the boys were all over me, I just stuck the hand out and it stuck."
Sports Journalist with Radio Sports NZ, Alex Chapman, wrote about the feat and posted on his Twitter, "Bloke will probably spend that (money) all by the end of the night. Hell of a catch though
The official Twitter page of the Black Caps also mentioned the illustrious feat, which had stirred the whole crowd at the Eden Park.
Martin Guptill (105), the top-scorer in New Zealand's innings who hit nine sixes to help the Black Caps set up a record T20 score of 243/6, also congratulated the $50,000 catch taker Mitch Grimstone's effort in a post-innings interview.

So, finally the day was there. On Friday morning we gathered at Mirko's place in Hilversum. We were going to drive with two cars. Obviously I was driving along with my 400 and we had the Citroen C5 Break at our disposal. Apart from Johan and Mirko another camera guy showed up; Oscar. Nice to meet up with them as till now I only have met Johan in real life. So onwards we went and drove all the way to Zurich in one go. Here we met up with the car addict to start part of the filming at the Opera house.
Afterwards we were invited to stay overnight at his house. Which was beautiful located at some lake nearby. Not bad to start breakfast in the morning with such a view.
The next day we stood up early to ensure we could capture all the needed filming material. If we could finish early we could continue to drive to Italy and stay overnight in a hotel nearby, meaning we wouldn't had to rush in the morning to be on time in Turin. Everything worked out so well, location, weather, food, filming, the whole lot.
By now the video has already been finished and published. Perhaps it shouldn't be in this blog but since it's part of the story and I know what happened behind the scenes I like to get it included in here. Besides that, it's a very nice video. Thanks again for your hospitality Bruno. Let the good times roll again:
Since everything went smooth we could leave on time and I could pick up my car from the garage.
And before we left a nice meal was served, including melted Swiss cheese (mmm)
We drove to Italy and stayed over in a hotel nearby Milan.
In the morning we drove to Turin and arrived exactly on the agreed time (10 o'clock). At the time we had a choice to meet up either at Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena or at Parco Valentino in Torino(http://www.parcovalentino.com/). Clearly we had chosen for the latter as that fitted nicely with our planning. On both occassions Mr Fioravanti was present with specific cars of his own design. Even though we could park our car nearby the entrance we wanted to park my car nearby the Fioravanti stand. The parc itself was closed for other cars, but Mirco managed to talk us through (it helps if you are part of a filmcrew and speak Italian). Needless to say I was very happy with this move, as I wanted the 400 on the set when filming Mr. Fioravanti.
So we arrived at the stand and Mr. Fioravanti was awaiting for us in person. I didn't know what to expect exactly but from the email conversations he came across as a friendly and to the point character. It turned out he was indeed and very modest as well. All dressed up and wearing a very catchy watch. At least it was the first thing that I noticed. I think it was a blue plastic Swatch. Both his sons showed up as well. After the formal handshaking and introductions it was time to set up the filmset and discuss how to shoot it.
In between Mr. Fioravanti handed me over his book so I could have a look already. Very nice. Unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperating as it started to rain. Besides that some parc officers showed up and more or less directed us (the cars) of the parc since it was not allowed. Meanwhile the filming was ready to take place and we were allowed to complete this but the cars had to move.
Before moving out the cars I wanted to use the opportunity to have a picture together with Mr. Fioravanti and my 400. But also to get my car signed by him. He kindly posed with me and signed it as well. How cool is that?
Everything till now was already fantastic. That we had to move and the weather playing up didn't bother me. In fact the poor weather conditions resulted in moving to a different location. It was suggested there was a special VIP location on the parc we could use. But since Mr. Fioravanti lived nearby we could opt for his location. Guess where we went? After the first shooting we packed up and drove to his house, which was only a 15 min drive.
I clearly remember the excitement that we were going to his home, it felt like a triumph tour. Next to his home there was a large garage, or should I say atelier, which had various prototypo cars in it.
Here is my car parked in front of the Fioravanti cave
And inside:
At the end of the afternoon all was done and we could pack up and drove back home throughout the entire night. What a weekend it was. I'm looking back at this trip with great pleasure.
The film itself is unfortunately, due to various reasons, still not finalized. So you have to suffice with the photo's and my story on this blog.

Moving right along
Though I have a little pile of Bernina goodies staring at me, begging to be opened and explored, there was no way I could allow myself to open them up until I'd completed this year's December journal.
I got started easily enough. I'd spotted a pad of 12" paper which was heavily reduced in Michaels when we were in Washington and though I'd told myself I needed no more Christmas supplies for now, it proved to be my go-to design for much of the month.
My December journals are never right on trend. I choose not to follow the pocket methods which so many have adopted because not only do I keep my Project Life going throughout, but messing about with a glue stick and a pair of scissors is quite therapeutic at this time of the year. So, though I admire the cool designs and very considered approach, mine will always be somewhat haphazard and be rather more personal.
I don't pre-plan and begin each page as it comes, though I try some some consistency by including a common design feature to each page – this year, it was the date stamp.
At times this year, it was really hard to keep it going. For much of December I felt below par having picked up some kind of lurgy which made me cough and cough and cough some more. But looking back over previous years, I knew I just had to complete it.
And hooray, I did! My 2014 December Journal will take its place in the basket alongside those from previous years and I know that we'll love revisiting the events during the run up to Christmas 2014. For every page in there which records something new, something particular to 2014 there are others which tell the same story as every year.
That's why I love it.

News has emerged that West Midlands Police are planning to use mobile fingerprint scanning units to identify hooligans with banning orders as part of 'Project Lantern'. The devices allow police to scan fingerprints and cross-check with their database to see if those stopped are subject to orders preventing them from attending matches.
While the scheme has been described as 'voluntary' most supporters will see it as another example of stereotype over reality, and questions must be asked about what constitutes 'voluntary'? Will innocent fans be threatened with arrest if they refuse to comply? As those with banning orders are unlikely to give their fingerprints voluntarily there must be a danger that police may start using the threat of arrest in order to gain compliance.
Many will see echoes with the Stoke City ID Card which forced all supporters wanting to follow the Potters away from home to register for an Away Card and have their details checked by the authorities. The theory behind the scheme was that those travelling had been vetted and troublemakers filtered out, so Stoke supporters at away games would be treated more fairly by police and stewards.
However, many Stoke fans felt they were tarred with the hooligan brush and received far harsher treatment as a result, with police and stewards at matches adopting a 'this lot must be really bad if they need ID cards' mentality. The scheme was scrapped in September 2008.
"The Football Supporters' Federation are happy to see genuine troublemakers targeted and weeded out but fingerprinting fans on the way to a game is absolutely not the answer," said Amanda Jacks of the FSF.
"Rather than reassuring ordinary supporters that the police are acting in their best interests, the scheme could drive a further wedge beween law abiding fans and police when we're working very hard to achieve the opposite. Supporters are a tolerent lot, but initiatives such as these merely add to an increasing 'them and us' feeling.
"We have further concerns that while this is on trial today, it could eventually be rolled out across the country and we are writing to West Midlands Police to clarify our position and formally register our concerns.
"Police us on our behaviour, not reputation."
Last November the Home Office praised supporters with statistics showing that just 0.01 per cent of 37m fans attending matches in England and Wales were arrested for football-related violence, with no arrests at 67 per cent of matches. Someone should tell West Midlands Police.

Hangzhou Datasports Equipment Co.,Ltd(Oembicycle)
Bicycle Hub,Alloy Track Hub,Sealed Bearing Hub,Disc Brake Hub
A hub is the center part of a Bicycle Wheel. It consists of an axle, bearings and a hub shell. The hub shell typically has two machined metal flanges to which spokes can be attached. Hub shells can be one-piece with press-in cartridge or free bearings or, in the case of older designs, the flanges may be affixed to a separate hub shell.
Hub shell and flanges:
The hub shell is the part of the hub to which the spokes (or disc structure) attach. The hub shell of a spoked wheel generally has two flanges extending radially outward from the axle. Each flange has holes or slots to which spokes are affixed. Some wheels (like the Full Speed Ahead RD-800) have an additional flange in the center of the hub. Others (like the some from Bontrager and Zipp) do not have a noticeable flange. The spokes still attach to the edge of the hub but not through visible holes. Other wheels (like those from Velomax/Easton) have a threaded hub shell that the spokes thread into.
On traditionally-spoked wheels, flange spacing affects the lateral stiffness of the wheel, with wider being stiffer, and flange diameter effects the torsional stiffness of the wheel and the number of spoke holes that the hub can accept, with larger diameter being stiffer and accepting more holes.[5] Asymmetrical flange diameters, tried to mitigate the adverse effects of asymmetrical spacing and dish necessary on rear wheels with many sprockets, have also been with modest benefits.

TAC Sports: Great Benefits of Joining a Summer Camp
Kids are free from the stress and pressure of school during summer, and many parents see joining summer camps as a good opportunity for their children to gain new skills and improve their talents. While children are usually judged in school based on their scores or grades, summer camps provide children the freedom to express themselves without being judged. Both parents and teachers notice the growth and maturity of children who attended summer camps because they learn practical life lessons that cannot be well-taught inside the classroom. In a summer camp, children are free from the distraction of technology and they have more time to get active, enjoy, be one with nature, talk, listen, reflect, and relax.
By joining summer camps, children learn to be independent, work with others, appreciate nature, make decisions for themselves, take responsibility for their actions, and develop creativity. According to research, the emotional intelligence (EQ) of children is nurtured when they join summer camps, and great leadership skills are enhanced, healthy living is reinforced, and other practical life skills are taught. The main benefits of joining summer camps include gaining new friends and building friendships, developing leadership skills, getting active, developing life-long skills, developing social skills, gaining self-confidence and resiliency, and reconnecting with nature. While it may be frightening for some children to meet new people, most especially those who fear humiliation and rejection from peers, these summer camp worries are surpassed because children are encouraged to interact through different activities like sports, thus fostering negotiation, cooperation, and teamwork. A summer camp is really good in teaching children that it is okay to fail, helping them recognize their limitations, and improving their character and personality. Many children find it hard nowadays to live without their gadgets for entertainment so these are banned in summer camps, to teach children how to appreciate nature, play active sports, wake up early without their smartphones, get lots of exercises, eat regular meals, and spend extended periods of time outdoors.
Children are always on the move in summer camps, encouraging them to participate in different activities such as forest games, water skiing, mountain climbing, and exercising. TAC Sports Toronto Summer Camps are great for those who want their children to develop skills in sports. TAC Sports Summer Camps are providing great learning to children when it comes to sports, most especially soccer.
