Housemade waffles.
I came across Canvas through a rather roundabout way: a new year's resolution. Sometime last year, in a fit of Christmas optimism, I resolved to learn pottery wheelwork. And that's how I ended up at the Fremantle Arts Centre, home to Canvas and possibly, a few ghosts.
The Arts Centre's church-like facade looks gorgeous from the outside, belying the fact it was colony's very first insane asylum. Conditions in the asylum were bad, with misunderstood persons being thrown in with the criminally insane. That, plus the lack of hygiene and overcrowding led to the eventual closing of the asylum (and opening of the Claremont Hospital for the Insane, near Graylands). The building was a women's home for some time, following that a technical school and then the arts centre. The facility now hosts art exhibitions, concerts, markets and of course, art courses. And like all cool places it has an awesome cafe, tucked into a lush courtyard with garden seating beneath the trees.
The front facade of Fremantle Arts Centre.
(There's also an great gift shop too, Found, selling locally made stationary and arty things.)
(And if you're wondering, this building is thought to be one of the most haunted in Perth. But don't let that put you off, the cafe's great, not spooky at all.)
The main entrance into the FAC, all lush and green.
The Canvas courtyard.
I like sitting in the courtyard, it's a bit like a secret garden, with umbrellas and overhanging greenery blocking out the sun. There is seating inside, but everybody tends to sit alfresco (maybe the thought of a ghost popping out during breakfast just won't do). I always find the service here to be a bit aloof. Maybe its just a Freo hipster thing (minus the beards and bicycles). Since the service isn't really that bad by Perth standards, I've been back twice for their tasty Middle Eastern brekkies. This time it's with my bestie, J, who is quite the history buff and loves checking out heritage buildings (check out her blog, I've never known anybody else who can make genealogy sound so riveting).
I have to warn you, the coffee is quite variable here. But don't despair, the cook is better than the barista..
Basque hashed potatoes with red onion, spinach, manchego, hollandaise and two poached eggs.
The Basque hashed potatoes arrives in its own little saucepan, along with the suggested extra of black pudding. I can never resist black pudding. It's an impulse that can bite back as I've had some sucky blood sausages in the past. This time it's a good decision, the black pudding it lightly spiced and crumbly, which goes perfectly with the soft centred, crispy edged potatoes, still sizzling from the heat of the pan.
The combination is blissful, especially with the two perfectly poached eggs with their gooey yolks running over the hash and hollandaise sauce melting over the top. I think I had a moment with this breakfast.
Housemade waffles with butterscotch banana.
J had the dish I so wanted to order but couldn't bring myself to – the butterscotch banana waffles. (Jesus, I had plate envy when that came out.) Two waffles, notably made in house, had been drizzled with syrup and topped with a banana which had been battered, deep fried and coated in syrup. Along side was a dollop of double cream with icing sugar snowed on. J said it was very good, with the waffles being deceptively large it was hard to finish (but I don't think she was complaining!).
One last note about the food. The kitchen's specialty of shakshuka eggs – order them. They come out in a pan, bubbling in a spicy tomato sauce, continually cooking in the sauce until you're ready to eat. Served with big hunks of baguette, it's finished with garlic butter and soft, almost pulpy whole olives. Yes, garlic butter for breakfast may seem a bit weird but it really works. If you're a hard core fan of a savoury breakfast, I think you'll like this one.

Greetings, again, Audi,
Since I have 'levels' on the brain presently...
You stated:
< The postures give you the theatre in which you can learn to practice using intent and to see how intent works> Audi.
I would say now, based on the theory that the nine levels represent 'teaching and learning' levels, that I can better comprehend what you are saying about <learning to practice using intent and to see how intent works>.
This could probably be considered level two (jing-chi, body-mind level)
...This would be <an appropriate theatre to practice using intent> (for future use of intent against an opponent?) and it would also be the appropriate time to <see how intent works>
But, I am not so sure that it applies to any higher levels than the initiating one...
Are you aware of the official existance of different 'levels' towards learning 'intention' in Taijiquan?
When do you think it is appropriate to introduce yi into a students curriculum?
The distinction of various levels of intention leads me to better appreciate the degree of difficulty in discussong such matters. If all aboard are on the same level of instruction, then it might be easier, but then again, maybe not.
Yi, I find, has easily been the most complex aspect of Taijiquan that I have thusfar encountered.
Not easy to convey in any manner and even more trying to understand.
Oh well...Onward
Best regards,

subset: commoncrawl

text: Roy is a first generation Shiranian. He is now almost a year old and has grown to be the biggest in his litter. He stands more than a foot tall and weighs 9.55 kg. (21 lbs). He is quite the popular dog in our neighborhood. When we go on his daily walks, it is common to hear shouts of "Roy!" from all around. He is described by his vet and most people that he meets as a "really happy dog". Very early on, I had noticed he had a very confident and dominant personality. He can be very stubborn at times. So I started him on obedience training right away (he was 8 weeks old). To date he knows about 25 words. He was neutered at 8 months. He remains to be very sociable and playful but highly territorial. He is my first dog (given by a friend). I love him to bits. He sleeps at the foot of my bed snuggling my feet. When it is time to sleep he jumps onto the bed on command. He digs a bit then settles down. I would sing him his lullaby and he would instantly fall asleep. He is so adorable. I think the reason why is always happy is because he has so many human friends who love him.Add to Favorites

The "Belated Valentines" Skirt
The Facts
⁃ Fabric: Red spot brushed cotton – gift for Christmas.
⁃ Pattern: self drafted.
⁃ Year: n/a
⁃ Notions: 1 zipper from stash, 1 button from stash, trim $3.90
⁃ Time to complete: 2.5 hours
⁃ First worn: Saturday, 18th February
⁃ Wear again? Yes! Once I get around to adjusting the fit.
⁃ Total price: $3.90
This week has been hideous for me. There has been a bit of a stomach bug going around our family and I happened to get hit with it at the start of the week. I was hoping to feel better on Tuesday so I persevered with my dress hoping I would be well enough on Valentine's Day to wear it out but unfortunately I was in bed sick.
I did continue with making the skirt though which turns out to have not been the wisest idea. It seems that when I am sick all sense of logic goes out the window and I ended up with a skirt that is slightly too small for me. For some reason I decided it would be cute to have the waistband overlap at the end and do up with a button. But when I made this decision I forgot that I had already cut out my waistband and not allowed for this additional length. Hence, the skirt now being too small.
I do still like the skirt though. It is so simple to make but I think the trim adds a really nice detail to make it look a bit more polished. I think when I eventually get around to adjusting it to fit me I will get a lot of wear out of it. But knowing my history with mending and altering I don't think that will get done for a while.

- Preferable option - less costly - student pays only for the program, not for transferring credits
- Requires that the Anthropology Department Undergraduate Program Director pre-approve the credits
- Credits can be accepted as transfer credits, as long as student earns a minimum grade of C
- Grades do not transfer - no impact on student's GPA
2. Independent Study Credit
- If participation in the program is not reported on a transcript from an accredited American university, Anthropology department may pre-approve the "experience" to fulfill one or more Independent Study course requirements
- Student must find Anthropology Faculty supervisor for an independent study and then seek pre-approval from Anthropology Department Undergraduate Program Director
- Student will get special permission number and must register for the appropriate Rutgers Independent Study course(s)
- Unlike above option, student must pay tuition and fees to register for the Rutgers Independent Study class(es) and also pay the costs of the program. For example, 6 credits at Rutgers might run in the area of $4000 plus fees based on out-of-state tuition rates (exact current figures not available here, must be checked by student at the time of registration)
- Grades will be assigned for the Rutgers Independent Study classes and will contribute to student's GPA

Prove mathematically that the empty space in a simple cubic cell is 47.6%. The volume of a sphere is 4/3*3.14r^3.
- print Print
- list Cite
In a simple cubic lattice, there is a sphere loacted at each corner of the latice. Only 1/8 of the area of each sphere is inside the unit cell. However, there are 8 spheres (corners). So the total area occupied in the cell is 1/8 * 8 * Area of a sphere.
For your problem, we'll assume a tightly packed cell, so that the radius of the spheres is r and each side of the cube is 2r long.
% empty space = 100% - area of spheres in cube / area of cube
= 100% - 4/3*3.14r^3 / (2r)^3
= 100% - 4/24*3.14
= 100% - 52.3%
= 47.6%
Let us assume that the cubic cell has each of its side meauring 2a units. Then the volume of this cube = (2a)^3 = 8a^3 cubic units.
The sphere inside this cube touching all the six faces should have a diameter of 2a , or radius = a. So the volume of the sphere of radius a = (4/3)(pi)a^3 cubic units, where pi = 3.14592654, the circle's constant ratio of circumference to diameter.
Therefore, empty space in the cube of side 2a when occupied by the sphere of radius a = volume of the cube - volume of the sphere = 8a^3 - (4/3)(3.141592654)(a^3) = (8-4.188790205) a^3 = 3.811209795a^3 cubic units.
Therefore the percentage of empty space = (Volume of mpty space/Total volume of the cube)*100
= [(3.811209795a^3)/8a^3)]*100
= 47.64012244 %

A deck railing material is very important while creating the railcraft for the deck giving it the finishing touch. There are many points to be considered while choosing a material for perfect deck railing. Railing material should be chosen carefully when one is designing a Waterproof deck. While wood is considered traditionally to provide elegance to the decor, it has several disadvantages, especially when it is to be installed in outdoor. If one is to install a protective railing outside, aluminium railings are the best choice to be considered.
Wood Vs Aluminium
- Ease of maintenance: This is the most troubling aspect of wood. It is prone to problems like rotting, cracking, attack by termites or carpenter ants. To prevent it from these damages, it has to be painted once in every two years or so or to be replaced. But in the case of aluminium there is almost no maintenance required.
- Durability and Safety: Wood is strong, but its tendency to wear and tear requires a lot of treatments otherwise it may split, crack, splinter or rot. Aluminium on the other hand is very durable and lasts for years without any safety issue.
- Flexibility of design: Aluminium is a flexible material and can be molded into different shapes and sizes according to the requirement. Wood does not yield itself to give customized designs.
Some of the other advantages of aluminium Railcrafts are
- Fast installation
- Maintenance free / no rust
- Salt water resistant
- High quality powder coat finish
- Unlimited life span
- Interior or exterior applications
- Largest selection of top rail designs
- Standard & custom colors
These advantages of aluminium make it the preferred material for numerous applications from aircraft parts to store fronts. For a little higher price than wood, one can get the same strength and durability for railings. Although the initial expenditure may be slightly greater with aluminium railings, the amount spent is a sound investment because one needs to spend anything on maintenance.

It's always refreshing to hear when new businesses are starting in tumultuous markets. There are few industries that have been hammered worse that real estate. While the Utah real estate market hasn't been hit near as hard as Arizona or California, there's no question that it's seen better days.
New Homes in Utah are being produced by a few very successful builders. A number of elements are contributing to the ability for new home buyers to afford great quality homes at a reasonable cost. Among these factors, reduced access to traditional credit has lowered the cost of sub contractors, building materials and land.
It goes without saying that current market conditions have created the perfect storm for buying a new Utah home. I've had the opportunity to see the 1 Utah Homes model from the inside, and the attention to detail, cost and customer service is among the very best of Utah Home Builders.

The better something fits, the better it feels. Pretty obvious, when you think about it, right? Shoes, clothes, underwear - everything feels better when it fits correctly. Well now you can get that same great perfect-fit feeling with your condom too.
Did You Know? When surveyed, nearly 50% of men complain that a regular condom doesn't fit them correctly
Did You Know? In clinical studies, a poorly fitting condom is associated with all sort of problems including breakage, slippage and difficulty reaching orgasm?
Did You Know? Before TheyFit, the range of condoms sizes was extremely limited? Even brands like XL or Large were little different to ordinary condoms. Snug and Slim versions were still 7 inches long.
Did You Know? Most condoms are significantly too long for the majority of men, resulting in lots of bunched up latex at the base.
Now, when your condom fits better, it feels better too. It's really obvious when you think about it.
In fact, we're so confident that you'll absolutely love your new custom fit condoms that we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee to every customer.

- 95% would recommend TheyFit condoms to their friends.
- 91% consider themselves more likely to use condoms after their TheyFit condom experience.
You chose to search Google today for an answer to your condom size question. That's the biggest step. Today is the day you can solve your condom fitting for good. And that's a guarantee!

The Crosby Wedding
The Crosby Wedding – Brandon and Stephanie Hammermeister
|Stephanie Houghton & Brandon Hammermeister
|The Crosby at Rancho Santa Fe (Liz Diaz)
|Venue Address:
|17102 Bing Crosby Blvd, Rancho Santa Fe, CA
|Services Provided:
|Wedding DJ, Enhanced Dancefloor Lighting, Monogram, Uplighting, Wedding Ceremony
|Wedding Planner:
|Yellow Swans Dancing Weddings & Events (Annette Bravo)
|Cute Cakes (Jill)
|Embellishmint Floral (Dawn Stone)
|Bauman Photography (Jared Bauman)
|Wildflower Linen
Before I begin the recap of this wedding, have any of my readers heard of Wedding Wars? For those not familiar, it was a show on VH1 where 11 couples competed 'Survivor-style' for the 'Ultimate Wedding' (a $100,000 wedding with a $25,000 nest-egg). Each contest during the show had a prize of it's own, from a complete set of outfits for the entire wedding party, to a $10,000 gift registry.
Brandon Hammermeister and Stephanie Houghton were one of the couples chosen to compete on Wedding Wars. They did an amazing job, but that was probably part of their downfall. They are both very athletic and in the beginning of the show they won several episode contests:
Episode #2 – The guys had to throw bouquets over their heads to the women, who had to catch as many as they could and get them to a finish line. But that's kind of where the rules ended. It was a knock-down drag-out fight to get those bouquets across the finish line. Stephanie and Brandon won the prize of $5000 worth of floral arrangements.
Episode #3 – Each couple had a three-tier cake placed in front on them, and the first couple to eat the entire cake won the challenge. Sounds easy, right? Well, here's the catch. The first layer was frosting over … blue cheese! The second layer was frosting over … pigs feet (yes, nails and such too). And if that wasn't enough the third and largest layer was frosting over … dog food! If you have to watch one episode of Wedding Wars, I recommend it is this episode! Each couple started diving into the cake, and several didn't make it past the first layer before vomiting and giving up. So how did Brandon and Stephanie win? They proved they are not only athletic, they are also ingenious! Instead of tackling the layers one by one, they made a smart decision and mashed all the layers together, creating a glob of disgusting stuff, but a glob without any one strong flavor! This allowed them to eat the cake slowly but effectively and they won. Their prize was a cake package worth $2500.
They made it to Episode #5, where they were cast off the island by elimination vote. The general consensus is that the other contestants realized how strong of a couple they were and that they stood a good chance of winning if allowed to remain.
Lucky for me, they didn't make it to Episode #7 where they could have won a DJ for their wedding! Also lucky for me that Stephanie and Brandon chose to have their wedding at The Crosby Club at Rancho Santa Fe, a gorgeous venue that looks like this from the outside.

Wedding Lighting
The elegant look of The Crosby was enhanced even further by the use of uplighting, a cake pinspot, and a giant monogram to cover the curtain where they made their grand entrance.
Note the cake topper used on their cake. If you watched any of the episodes of Wedding Wars, you'll recognize the topper as the same one used for the elimination rounds!
And here's a classy shot Jared Bauman got of the cake topper 'watching' the guests.

Cocktail hour was held in the center of the building, which on The Crosby's website is called, "Private Dining Room".
Cocktail Hour
Once cocktails were over, I invited guests into the ballroom began the Grand Entrance. Brandon and Stephanie used the curtain to create a theatrical entrance. As I announced each group of the wedding party, they came bursting out of the curtains to thunderous applause. It was a great way to set the mood for the rest of the night. Sorry, no photos yet, but hopefully soon!
Immediately after the Grand Entrance, we went into dinner.
First Dance
When dinner was drawing to a close, Stephanie and Brandon started their First Dance.
Wedding Toasts
For the toast beverage, a distinguished guest of theirs that couldn't appear in person donated a gigantic bottle of quality champagne for use during toasts. I announced this to the guests, and then the catering staff made a big show of opening the bottle for guests to enjoy. Stephanie and Brandon left me to my own devices for this presentation, so as the bottle was being popped, I chose to play Ron Brows – Pop Champagne. It seemed to be a good choice since the guests started singing along with the chorus as the champagne was being opened.
Brandon and Stephanie then gave a short speech and thanked their family and guests.
Father Daughter Dance
For their dances, I'd like to demonstrate an interesting effect I used that I can incorporate when a client has a white dance floor. If you're willing to get a white dance floor for your event, I can make your dance floor appear to change colors under your feet!
Mother Son Dance
After formal dances were over, we opened the dance floor up for everyone!
Wedding Dancing
After a bit of dancing we took a break for some more formal activities.
Wedding Cake
Garter Toss
Bouquet Toss
Wedding Dancing Part II
After another wonderful wedding reception, I got a photo with the newlyweds, Brandon and Stephanie Hammermeister.
Congratulations to Brandon and Stephanie and their families, and thanks for choosing The Creative Music DJ for your special day!
Additional Photos
Here's some additional photos that are worth showing.
Wedding Wars winner and runner-up couples Joseph & Elsie, and Rich & Marina were guests at the Hammermeister's wedding. From what I understand they've all become really good friends since the show. How cool is that, right? Here's a photo of me with Joseph and Rich.
Jared also managed to get a cool shot of me behind the turntables.

Radial Acceleration
Radial Acceleration is defined as the acceleration of the tracking servo across the disc or in a radial direction. If the track contains a deviation, the head must speed up to maintain tracking. Obviously at 540RPM or 1X this is less difficult than in a 40X drive with speed up to 8000RPM. Often the result is the tracking servo loses tracking, has to slow down and, at worst, loses its data. The ability to measure RA as well as other radial parameters like Radial Noise and Eccentricity are essential in all CD-ROM replication.

Alright, let me go check this out.
Looks like they dyed the end of marshmellows then baked it.
Oh my goodness! James the Zebra games are awesome, they are the cutest things... I can't believe they made a cake out of him, ridiculously cute!! And to put my two cents in, they look like M&Ms.
I personally really enjoyed John's post about Super Mario 2 as well. Made me all nostalgic!
Never heard of that being done before. Sounds good.
yea i had heard that super mario 2 was a terrible game but now that i read that i am interested in playing it. so we have 2 votes that its M&Ms 1 vote its sprees and 1 votes it Looks like they dyed the end of marshmellows then baked it. O_o
This makes for an interesting debate, I demand more cakes be made and sent to our homes.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Database Archive
Jaromir, at least through IMS version 7 HSAM still exists. I suspect it will exist for as long as IMSDB exists.
to thread --
The inclusion of purge/archive processes to an application during the design phase is in my experience neither that difficult or expensive as some previous posters implied. Nor is it always necessary that such retrieval be on demand. Often a few hours to an overnight delay is fully acceptable for retrieving archived data. Each case of what is being archived, how likely it is ever to be retrieved, and how it needs to be viewed has to be considered to determine cost/benefit for the project. But archival is a valid consideration for performance, security, and legal reasons. The need for archival depends on the application, the data, and what management wants! The design should fit the business requirements and if the requirements call for archival then you need to find a way to handle the requirement in a cost efficient manner.

As I know Bill Inmon propagated the "alternative storage" idea with some strong cost arguments. But I guess this is far from mainstream now. The main problem is the lack of support of transparent archiving in the database.
Today archiving solutions are
The problem is not new, some 30 years ago in DL/1 you could store part of the database on tapes (HSAM = hierarchical sequential access method). But I'm not sure if this feature is still supported:)
3) Of course there are lot of ill designed solutions (non partitioned tables with "delete" archiving etc.) that could be tuned, but this is not the point.

The seventh novel in Anthony Riches' acclaimed Empire sequence brings Marcus Aquila back to Rome, hunting the men who destroyed his family. But the revenge he craves may cost him and those around him dearly. The young centurion's urge to exact his own brutal justice upon the shadowy cabal of assassins who butchered his family means that he must face them on their own ground, risking his own death at their hands.
A senator, a gang boss, a praetorian officer and, deadliest of all, champion gladiator Mortiferum - the Death Bringer - lie in wait. The knives are unsheathed, and ready for blood....
©2014 Anthony Riches (P)2014 Hodder & Stoughton
"The roman sword is double edged and cuts both ways"
Duty and destiny weave a deadly game in the streets of Rome.
The unexpected twists and turns as ememies become freinds and freinds become enemies.
Saul brings the atmosphere and characters to life capturing the sounds and smells of Imperial Rome.
Yes but I had to ration myself to prolong the enjoyment.
"vengeance acquired"
strange how all writers of this genre feel the need to have at least one book dedicated to the wranglings of rome itself, and a diversity into the arena, with gladiators at the fore. still, Saul reichlin gives his normal brilliant portrayal of characters and street life. There is also a short story at the end linking characters and storyline worth a listen. but it's eastwards next for our hero and the tungrian cohort, how will they cope with the extreme heat difference of part his and northern brittania.
"Love this series"
Once again this series really delivers with possibly the best instalment so far. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone
"Magnificent Series, Superb Narration"
I focussed mainly on the audio versions of most of the series. Since book1 is only available on Kindle, I can say that I enjoyed reading it but found the audio versions of book2 and beyond better. Saul Reichlin is an outstanding narrator
This is a review of the first 7 books (book one is kindle only). Providing one can suspend disbelief at the number of people willing to risk death to support our protagonist, Anthony has written a superb, well researched Swords & Sandals series. Storyline, Characterisation, World building are all good with the description and sense of fighting and battle outstanding
Throughout the series Saul has been an outstanding narrator. Excellent voices, good characterisation and a good pace. Great contrast between the "ordinary" phases of the book and the more exciting ones too
I found book 6 of the series to be the most moving, then this one. That said, I don't think that the author is really aiming in that direction
I will read further books in the series when they become available. I will also make a point of looking for other books narrated by Saul Reichlin
"Big Cast - Lots of Historical Detail"
The "informant" and the grunts - their dialogue and the way the narrator brought out their distinct personalities was really good.
Um... Medicus by Ruth Downie. Though this one was a bit more explicit/graphic, it also had a large cast and incorporated a lot of historical detail.
The informant. He was my FAVORITE.
No. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy it, there were just so many characters and sub plots happening that I got lost pretty quickly. I stayed with it hoping eventually I would understand what was going on and that mostly became true.
"Great book always kept you guessing."
Love this series one the greatest historical fiction books i have had the pleasure of listening to.

Have you ever noticed how supervisors who have good relationships with their crews tend to have safer crews? In fact, good relationships tend to be associated with all kinds of good performance. Why would this be so? What do relationships have to do with safety?
Discretionary Effort
The link is discretionary effort. Discretionary effort is that effort which employees can give at work, but don't have to. Discretionary effort is going above the basic requirements, and it rarely occurs in the context of poor employee-management relationships. Many people think of safety as a compliance issue—getting people to comply with safety rules, regulations and procedures. However, if you want to go beyond compliance and create a high-performance safety culture, discretionary effort is a requirement. Truly exceptional safety requires that people don't just follow procedures, comply with federal standards, and wear personal protective equipment. Exceptional safety happens when people look for and report hazards, give peers feedback on safe and at-risk behavior, and most difficult of all, admit when they have made mistakes (report near misses) so lessons can be learned. You don't get this kind of engagement in safety when employees dislike, distrust and (most importantly) fear their boss. If people think being honest about a safety infraction will lead to reprimands and discipline, then they won't be open and honest. In other words, you won't get discretionary effort.
Discretionary effort is created through the use of positive reinforcement. Research shows that when people are recognized for what they do well around safety and when reporting problems and concerns is met with reinforcing consequences (such as joint problem solving and problem resolution), employees will be more engaged in safety.
A Good Relationship Doesn't Mean Being Friends
So what does discretionary effort and positive reinforcement have to do with relationships? Positive reinforcement is disabled by poor relationships. Not only are people less willing to use positive reinforcement within the context of a poor relationship, but when they do, that reinforcement is less effective. If you tell someone they've done a good job and/or try to show concern for their safety, but they dislike you and therefore don't care what you think, your attempts at reinforcement are less likely to be effective.
Having a good relationship doesn't mean being nice all the time or being soft on safety. Good relationships at work include accountability and constructive feedback. They are also not about being friends with direct reports or being someone they want to go to a ball game with. A positive relationship isn't necessarily about your personality characteristics. In other words, you don't have to be outgoing, overly friendly, or the life of the party to establish yourself as a sincere, positive and fair manager or leader. Positive employee-management relationships include mutual trust and respect as a foundation for a partnership around safety or any other optimal job performance.
So how does a boss develop a good relationship with direct reports? Listed below are behaviors that consistently contribute to positive workplace relationships. These behaviors can be exhibited by any "personality type" and can lead to improvements in safety and work in general.
Best Practices for Building Effective Relationships Around Safety
Set clear expectations. Use pinpointed (actionable words) to ensure clarity of expectations; avoid assumptions and ask recipient(s) to state an understanding of the expectations.
Listen. Use active listening skills such as maintaining eye contact, using appropriate facial expressions, paraphrasing, and asking questions to demonstrate understanding. Avoid looking at or using computers and smart phones when others are talking to you.
Acknowledge good work, not just mistakes/problems. Track the nature of your interactions. Good leaders maintain a higher ratio of positive to constructive comments/discussions.
Ask questions to understand problems/issues. Avoid jumping to conclusions. There is always more to every story. Ask questions to uncover the details.
Ask for feedback about your own effectiveness and areas for improvement. Seek detailed information about what you do well and what you need to do differently to be more effective. Demonstrate that you are listening and working to improve your own actions.
Avoid blame. People's behavior makes sense to them, even if it doesn't make sense to you. Find out what antecedents and consequences were in place that lead to undesired behavior.
Respond fairly to incidents (safety and other types). Better incident investigations will lead to fair responses.
Admit when you make mistakes. Acknowledging your own mistakes helps establish that mistakes are expected and that learning from them is critical.
Solicit input and opinions from direct reports. Asking for input and advice will not only lead to better solutions, but in many cases, it also demonstrates respect.
Follow through on commitments. Consistent follow-through is essential for building trust and respect. Use whatever memory devices you need to be sure to do what you say you will do.
Stand up for direct reports; "go to bat" for them. Verbally promote direct reports and share their successes with others. In addition, acknowledge some responsibility when direct reports make mistakes.
Remove roadblocks in order to set direct reports up for success. The number-one job of management is to make direct reports successful. Analyze what gets in their way and do what you can to remove obstacles.
Provide feedback that helps direct reports improve. Pinpointed, timely feedback is most helpful. Don't save feedback for annual appraisals or even monthly one-on-one meetings; just-in-time feedback is the most effective.
Demonstrate that you trust direct reports. Give employees appropriate responsibilities and avoid micromanaging. When appropriate, tell them you trust them, and reinforce trustworthy behaviors.
Treat direct reports like people, not just employees. Make a point to greet direct reports at the start of the shift (when possible); show an interest in their lives outside of work, and demonstrate concern and consideration.
Clearly, these so-called "soft skills" are well worth developing if you want to create relationships that result in a trusting and thus high-performance safety culture.

The Global Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification Technology (INAAT) Market is expected to reach USD 4.3 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 11.8%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This can be attributed to significant rise in awareness regarding need for rapid and on-time testing for chronic and infectious diseases. Global increase in adoption of INAAT for detection of HIV, hepatitis A & B, and sexually transmitted diseases is considered to be a high impact rendering driver for growth.
Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification is one of the most preferred nucleic acid amplification methods because of its ability to provide point of care testing, thus leading to increased adoption. The recently-introduced Nicking Enzyme Amplification Reaction (NEAR) and Helicase-dependent amplification (HDA) technologies are expected to experience exponential growth during the forecast period owing to their patent protection.
In addition, owing to recent epidemics of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis, Zika virus, and influenza, importance of point of care diagnosis has increased especially in developing countries. This is also anticipated to boost demand for this technology in these regions.

Abby Goddard's life is going along just swimmingly, apart from the disappearance of her life's love - Wesley Cavendish, a man well above her station.
Just before Christmas, Grandmama dies after revealing the identity of Abby's grandfather - the Duke of Danby, no less. Now the entire family will travel to Yorkshire to confront Danby, hoping to gain a dowry for Abby. But then Wesley reemerges, sparking a hope Abby thought long destroyed.
Shall the prodigal son's sole inheritance be an unsightly gash? Wesley Cavendish aspires to the political realm, despite his father's near-murderous opposition...not to mention his opposition to Abby Goddard. But since Father died, will the new Earl of Fordingham rescind Father's disgraceful allegations? Fordingham thwarts Wesley at every turn, threatening marriage to a prominent Tory family-which precludes Abby-to put an end to Wesley's Whig involvement...unless Wesley can find a loophole.

A better look at new woven necklaces that will be for sale soon (Sometime next week? Still deciding on the exact date, I'll say soon.) Vintage ceramic beads woven with cotton thread on a solid brass chain. I'll take a photo of me wearing it for the shop update, but it's about the same size as the brass drops necklace. They will be $50. (edit: my math was a little off on that price before, sorry.)
I'm going to be doing two shop updates before Christmas.
I recently made the decision to up my necklace making and take on less graphic design jobs. I don't know how it will go or how long it will last as I get burnt out easily, but I'm going to give it a good try, at least for a couple months.

Agent Provocateur has a reputation of bringing the sauciest range of lingerie. Now, we could go on the whole debate about vanity and it's relation to women (the Alexander Pope way) but we shall exclude that part and go on straight to talk about the newest line created by the fashion brand. Dubbed as kinky couture, the Agent Provocateur Soiree collection will feature the most exquisite lingerie in the world.
We are informed that the pieces have been made out of the finest and the most delicate fabrics, each sewn with hand-crusted Swarovski crystals into hand-studded Italian leather. The company's director Joe Coree is claiming that the new lingerie line has been kept true to the couture tradition and is aimed at fashionistas for whom money is never an issue.
The grand debut of the Agent Provocateur Soiree line will happen in London in November this year. Only a selected few stores like Harrod's in London and Selfridges will sell these luxurious innerwear. The price range will fall between $190-$4,900.

The Following is a guest post and does not necessarily reflect the views of exercisebasics.
Has it come down to choosing between squeezing a plump body into an outfit you've outgrown or trying to figure out how to squeeze in exercise? Both situations are stressful but, let's face facts; carrying excess weight on your body isn't good for your health. Our bodies were made to move, and without at least 150 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per week, the extra weight will slowly pile on. On top of that, every fitness and health professional keeps asserting that strength training is important for bone density and good health. Whittle your middle, tone your muscles and drop excess flab by following these five tips for squeezing exercise into a busy schedule.
Tone Muscles While Watching TV. Relaxing in front of the television after a long day at work can be a nice way to wind down. Invest the first 15 minutes of your television time in toning your muscles while you watch TV to accomplish your strength training. You only need to perform strength training moves three times per week, for 15 minutes each time to achieve results. Use dumbbells or kettlebells as you do squats, lunges, dumbbell rows, bicep curls and shoulder presses.
Ten-Minute Spurts. Health and fitness professionals recommend 150 minutes of aerobic exercise each week. When a hectic schedule precludes 30 minutes of uninterrupted exercise, go for 10-minute spurts instead. Take a brisk walk, go up and down the stairs or jog in place for three 10-minute segments spread throughout the day. If you do this five days a week, you'll be able to squeeze in your cardio.
Waiting-in-Line Isometrics. Does it seem like you spend an inordinate amount of time standing in line? Use that time wisely to tighten and tone your muscles as you wait for your turn. Choose one area of muscle to focus on at a time, such as your calf muscles. Squeeze or contract the muscles, and hold the contraction for 30 to 60 seconds. Move on to other muscles, as time allows. Isometrics can be done anywhere at any time, even while sitting at your desk.
Take the Long Way. You've probably heard it before—park at the far end of the parking lot or walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. The extra movement adds up in calories burned and will contribute toward faster weight loss.
Wake Up with Yoga. Stretching keeps your muscles long and lean, loosens your joint and helps relax your body. Even five to 10 minutes of yoga in the morning can help improve your range of motion and flexibility.
An all-or-nothing approach to exercise sets you up for fitness burnout or definite weight gain. Similar to many other healthy lifestyle changes, incorporating exercise into your life doesn't have to occur on a rigid schedule or be strenuous in order to be effective. The small bits of effort you put forth throughout the day add up to calories burned, fat lost and muscle being toned.
If it's been a while since you last exercised, start out by incorporating one of the five tips listed here to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Do as much as you can and then stop, but when the exercises you're doing start to feel easier, perform them longer or add more weight. It took time to gain weight and lose muscle tone, and it will take time to shed the fat and sculpt your muscles. Don't let a busy schedule stand between you and your health and fitness. Squeezing in exercise throughout the day can add up to create an effective fitness plan that helps you meet your goals.

Comments about Signature Hardware Norah Victorian Copper Slipper Clawfoot Tub:
This is not merely a tub but, rather, a true work of art! I looked long and hard before choosing this masterpiece. Finally finding it felt like winning the lottery, especially since it feels as magnificent as it appears. Best of all, it's completely maintenance-free! No more soap scum, cleaning chemicals, etc. Simply wiping it periodically with a dry towel is sufficient to keep it clean because copper is resistant to mold, mildew, and bacteria. Plus, as most Native Americans know, copper also boasts a wide-range of healing properties, which explains the popularity of the copper-infused compression apparel that dancers (especially Ballerinas like me) swear by. Seriously, nothing has ever felt so decadently elegant as this incredible bathtub. Signature Hardware, I will never be able to thank you enough for your super fast and friendly service in delivering the tub of my dreams in mint condition for a price that will ensure I remain up to my ears in the best bubbles money can buy for the rest of my life! You (and your tub) are the very best! My only regret is that I cannot squash it into my carry-on bag, and take it with me whenever I travel.

Radio godfathers Dave Fanning and Larry Gogan have been left in the dark over their future, we can reveal.
The 2fm stars have still not been told by new boss Dan Healy whether their programmes will be changed – or even axed.
Hitman Healy moved to the troubled broadcaster from 98FM last December and booted Hector O hEochagain out of the breakfast slot.
And earlier this week, Healy announced Hector was being replaced by comedians Jennifer Maguire and Bernard O'Shea from the Republic of Telly, along with new jock Keith Walsh.
But anxious staff and fans are still waiting to hear what other changes Healy is planning.
Gogan and Fanning are the only presenters who have been at 2fm since it began broadcasting as Radio 2 in 1979.
Larry was the DJ who played the opening record on the then new station – Like Clockwork by The Boomtown Rats.
Fanning, 57, revealed: "I really don't know if I'm being moved or what.
"I haven't spoken a word to Dan Healy. I'm expecting an announcement this week."
Larry, 75, said staff have been warned not to talk to the media about the shake-up.
Larry told the Irish Sunday Mirror: "I've absolutely no idea what's happening at this stage. I'm happy just to be working.
"In fact, I'm happy just to be alive. According to the papers I'm going to a weekend slot. But I've gone through all this before and it doesn't worry me at all."
Several years ago Larry was shifted to the weekend slot – but was brought back to his weekly gig due to popular demand.
He added: "Yes, I've met the new guy around the place and we get on well.
"But I've had no word from him about the future. If I go to the weekend again, that's fine. I still love what I do and I still love music."
Larry's popular Golden Hour goes out from 1pm to 2pm from Monday to Friday and is famous for its Just A Minute quiz.
Dave's long-running rock show airs between 8pm and 10pm, Monday to Friday. He has a long connection with U2 having supported them since the early days.
The group give Dave the first airplay of each new single and famously did an nude interview on the show – making the DJ follow suit.
Troubleshooter Healy is hoping to boost listening figures with the shake-up.
But Ryan Tubridy insists he knows he's staying where he is – in the old Gerry Ryan slot at 9am – despite losing listeners in their droves.
New JNLR figures show Tubridy is only attracting 152,000 people, compared to 160,000 a year ago.

In the face of rising trends in prescription drug abuse, the federal government recently issued new guidelines for the proper disposal of unused, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs. The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) jointly released the new guidelines, which are designed to reduce abuse of prescription drugs, while also protecting the environment.
This information is provided by the Bureau of Substance Abuse Services within the Department of Public Health.
The new federal prescription drug disposal guidelines suggest:
- Take unused, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs out of their original containers.
- To prevent others from using these substances, mix them with coffee grounds or kitty litter and throw them away in a sealed container.
- Flush prescription drugs down the toilet only if the label or accompanying patient information specifically instructs you to do so.
Some community pharmaceutical take-back programs allow the public to bring unused drugs to a central location for proper disposal.
