Vespa, an Italian motor scooter that began life in 1946, is manufactured by the Piaggio company of Tuscany, Italy. It first came to the U.S. in 1951, reigning supreme as two-wheeled transportation that was not only economical, but great fun to ride.
Vespa rapidly became one of Italy's national symbols, as well as a global icon of design and economy. Popularity continued through the 1980s, until the increasing restrictions of the Environmental Protection Agency forced Piaggio to withdraw from the U.S. marketplace.
When company president Enrico Piaggio first viewed the original prototype, he remarked, "Sembra una vespa!" (translation - It looks like a wasp). The bicycle-style handlebars, bug-eyed headlight, narrow waist, flared, bulbous tail and buzzing tone, indeed liken it to a wasp. Hence the name Vespa.
The "wasp" returned to the U.S. a few years ago with two models: a two-stroke 50cc ET2; and a 150cc four-stroke ET4. The big news for the 2004 model year is the bigger and better Vespa Granturismo 200L with a host of desirable features and increased touring capability.

Garda plan could use drones and see fines paid at roadside in Limerick
Limerick's Chief Superintendent David Sheahan is one of the main figures spearheading the initiative
GARDAI could soon be using drones and taking fine payments at the roadside, in a new technology-led project that is due to be piloted in the future.
The Active Mobility Project will be championing the use of mobile phones and specially designed technology to "bring the guard back into the community" and cut down on the amount of paperwork that needs to be done back at base.
Limerick's Chief Superintendent David Sheahan is one of the main figures spearheading the initiative. It's understood that Limerick will be included in the pilot, which does not have an official roll-out date.
A promotional video offering a glimpse into the future was shown at a recent joint policing committee meeting, during which Chief Supt Sheahan said that the project would be "revolutionary" for the force.
"What this is trying to do is show the potential of where technology could go. The whole concept of going digital from an operational perspective is to mobilise every member of An Garda Síochána," he said.
"That will require a cultural shift, so rather than doing our work at the station, we can do our work in the community," he added.
Mobile phones will be used with specialist software which will allow gardaí to do a large majority of their 'paperwork' on the go.
The aim of this is to allow patrolling gardaí to continue their work in the heart of the community, instead of being stuck under paperwork at the garda station.
The meeting heard about the potential to use camera drones, to fly into an unknown situation ahead of any officers.
The garda cars of the future will have a screen on which gardaí will be able to watch the movements of the drone, to verify any potentially dangerous situations around the corner.
Victims of a crime will be able to use a 999 app to notify the control centre. When the victim presses a 999 button, a task comes into the control centre, which is then assigned to the nearest officer.
The officer would receive a notification, and a GPS map would guide them to the victim, who would then be able to give a statement on the spot using the new garda mobile device stations on the officer's phone.
The garda would no longer have to waste valuable time bringing a victim to the station to make a statement, and the victim would be able to sign the statement digitally.
For traffic policing, a garda would be able to take a photo of a number plate and receive all the details of the vehicle and driver, including insurance cover and penalty points.
If there's a penalty charge, the garda will be able to accept immediate payment via NFC, and a mobile printer would produce a receipt right at the roadside.
Wearable cameras would also be part of the new project – a technology which could provide "protection" for gardaí.
Chief Supt Sheahan said: "I believe we are there with the way technology is now."

America's best small cities for business and careers

Parents in Wenzhou locked their young child in their car but refused to let him be rescued because the cost of repairing a window would be too great. On Saturday afternoon in Wenzhou city, Zhejiang, a young couple locked the keys into their new car along with their child. They called the emergency services who arrived at the scene to find a large crowd gathered around the vehicle. Everyone discussed what to do but decided that the only solution was to break one of the windows. However the owners refused to allow firemen to do so, saying that it was a new car and that it would cost too much to repair. Firemen, police and a large crowd of onlookers stood around waiting, amazed at their decision. The child who was a pane of glass away from them, was clearly distressed, crying and showing 'symptoms of illness'. After an hour or so they finally agreed to do so and the child was rescued.
Netizens questioned the parents priorities: @COCO小宝 said
"is the cost of a broken window worth more than the life of the child [angry emoticon]"
whilst @灰常滴爱你 said
"there are so many brain-dead parents"
. @瑟瑞奥 was less forgiving when they said
"The child is also stupid, if he listens to his parents he could find the keys and unlock the door himself".

Imo lawmakers endorse Okorocha's son in-law for Governor
Nwosu currently serves as the Governor's Chief of Staff.
Spokesman for the lawmakers, Mr. Henry Ezediaro, said yesterday that Nwosu qualifies to take over from Okorocha on the strength of "his humility and ability to fit into the shoes of the Governor."
Ezediaro who represents Oguta Council area said the decision to endorse the Chief of Staff was reached "after majority of the members met and declared him the best to run for the position."
Ezediaro who doubles as the Director General of the Ugwumba Mandate, one of the Nwosu's campaign structures, added: "after a meeting of members of the House, we agreed, irrespective of party affiliations to endorse Ugwumba Uche Nwosu as our best choice for the governorship of Imo State in 2019.
"We urge him to contest and if he does, we will produce him as governor in 2019.
"Too many projects are going on in the state now at the same time. The governor may complete some. We need someone who can complete all and that person is Uche Nwosu."
He cited Okorocha's free education policy, saying: "without Nwosu, the policy may die and that is why we want him to continue from where the Governor will stop.
"His project has become our project."
He pledged to contribute "in line with what I did in 2015" twenty-seven buses and cash to support him."
The endorsement came barely a week after the governor swore in his younger sister, Ogechi Ololo, as Commissioner for Happiness and Couples' Fulfilment.
She was, until now, Deputy Chief of Staff (Domestic and International Matters).

Materials and Processes Laboratory, General Electric Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
Fracture tests were conducted on three steels obtained from heavy-section pieces over a range of test temperatures using single-edge notched (SEN) specimens under tensile loading and notched-bar (NB) specimens in bending. The SEN tests were performed on specimens 0.125 and 0.4 in. thick plus a few specimens 0.020 in. thick. In the NB series Charpy-sized specimens (0.4 in. square) were tested at various temperatures with additional tests on smaller and larger specimens up to 6 in. square at selected temperatures. All specimens were provided with a fatigue precrack at the tip of the notch. The tests were conducted to determine the capability of various size specimens for providing valid plane-strain fracture toughness (GIc or KIc ) values at various temperatures for these steels. At very low temperatures all specimens gave similar KIc values. With increasing temperature, KIc values obtained from the larger specimens remained relatively constant and then increased rapidly. At higher temperatures within this range, valid KIc values could not be measured with small specimens. Two possible methods of estimating KIc at these temperatures from small specimen data are discussed. One of these involves a correlation between fracture toughness and shear-lip thickness. The second makes use of a relation between bend angle, crack-opening-displacement, and fracture toughness. The test results are analyzed to show that both methods can be very useful.

Kimberly (Kim)
is our third child. She has two older brothers, both of
whom are healthy. However, her mother's little brother died of
Cystinosis in 1954, before they knew what it was. She was diagnosed with
Cystinosis at 9 months. The doctors told us to take our little baby home to
die, but gave us a very slim hope with a new experimental drug that might
retard her disease. This medicine (Cysteamine) showed promise, but had severe
side effects, including death. We chose to fight for our daughter's life and
have never regretted it.
Kim had a very difficult time with her Cysteamine, which only came in a liquid form that tasted and smelled like sulfur. The Cysteamine caused Kim to have severe stomach problems, and she was sick much of her early life. She usually vomited up her medicines, but kept enough down to keep her alive. For several years, we had to be quite creative in getting her to take the medicine that she hated so much. The medicine also made her food taste terrible. To this day, she has a strong dislike for milk, fruits, and vegetables, but has a strong craving for very salty foods.
She spent a large part of her early years in the hospital, at the doctor's office, and sick in bed. We never knew when she would get sick, but it happened often. However, there were many good days to go with the bad. A great deal of her hospital stays was the result of complete dehydration, and it was extremely difficult to put IVs into her tiny veins. Her Cystinosis also seemed to make her somewhat lethargic most of the time.
Kim started Kindergarten at age 5, but was a bit behind her classmates because of delayed speech clarity. They thought she'd need several years of therapy, but by the next year she had matured quite a bit. She was also slower, academically, than the other children. We held her back in 1st grade because of physical and educational maturity. We (and she) have never regretted it. She believes that if she'd been passed on, she'd have been behind the rest of her life and is very thankful that we held her back.
Kim was extremely shy in school and around adults. She is still the same way today, having a great fear of being in front of a crowd. However, around family and friends, she is quite the lively button, usually the leader in doing ornery things.
At age 10, her kidneys failed. She went on peritoneal dialysis for 14 months. She did quite well with it, but hated to be hooked up to that machine for 12 hours every night. Of course, our family spent a lot of time in the bedroom. After testing both parents, the doctors decided that her father was the best match for a transplant. So, in April 1992, Kim got a new kidney and a whole bunch of new medicines, with their associated side effects - the main one being the puffiness from Prednizone. As time went by, the dosages decreased, and she started have a more normal life. We were hoping for some growth after her transplant, but it was slow in coming and very little.
When Kim was in Jr. High, we noticed she was having a very difficult time academically. She worked extremely hard, but was lagging farther behind. Specialized testing revealed that Kim had some learning disabilities. With more problems, this determined young lady kept fighting. She had to take some special education classes, which she hated because they were so boring. As difficult as things got, she kept working and started improving.
Socially, Kim was a normal teenager who did everything with her friends, with some physical limitations of course. She loves to go shopping and buy new clothes and she likes to tell us about all the "really cute" guys she meets. She also maintained a part-time job, earning enough to buy her own car and pay her own insurance; on top of her regular teen spending. But, she knew that the job would end if the grades suffered.
In November 1998, Kim began having symptoms similar to when her original kidneys failed. After a biopsy, it was determined that the new kidney was failing. After a prolonged illness, the doctors decided that her kidney needed to be removed and she needed to go back on dialysis. After a week in the hospital, she started on home dialysis, doing manual exchanges, which gives her a great deal more freedom.
Because of hospital time, Kim had to go to summer school to stay on schedule and graduate with her class. She really worked hard to keep up, and found herself excelling. Since Kim spent so much of her life in hospitals, she had it in heart to become a nurse and help other children. She always wanted to be like the nurses in the children's ward at the hospital, playing nurse a great deal of the time. In high school, career testing helped Kim decide to become a medical assistant, with a possible future in nursing if everything gets better. She started searching for a school and scholarships. She started school at the Omaha College of Health Careers shortly before graduation, and has been going to school ever since, expecting to graduate in February 2002.
Kim has been on dialysis for 2 ½ years, and is still waiting for a transplant. She continues to live each day to the fullest, enjoying every minute of it, while still having some bad days. We firmly believe she will be a great medical assistant, and one day may still become a nurse. With her experience, we are sure she will be of great help to many children (and their parents) as they struggle with illnesses. Knowing what the patient is going through is a gift that healthy people can't understand. And having an understanding ear is sometimes more important than having all the answers.
Kim is 4'5" and 85 pounds. Although she is very conscious of her size and has to endure a great deal of ridicule because of it, she keeps her head held high maintains a great attitude. She gets stopped by the police quite often while driving because of her size and young looks. We're sure many Cystinosis patients know that feeling!
We are very thankful for all the doctors, research people, parents, volunteers, pharmaceutical companies, and all the children who work together as a team, searching for a cure for this devastating disease. We are extremely proud of Kimberly for all of her accomplishments, and for overcoming so many obstacles in her way. We are also extremely grateful for the scholarships she's gotten, especially the LYNN POTTS SCHOLARSHIP. To receive a scholarship from those who know her difficulties, personally, makes her award so much more special. We know that Kim will use this gift to bless many more children in the future, as they struggle with their illnesses.
Most of all, we are thankful for our heavenly Father, who holds us all in His loving arms. We believe he sustains Kim, strengthens her, and gives her the courage to continue fighting through all her difficulties.
Thank You,
The Riedel Family

Pinned down by life, he carried on... step by step
Mukesh Rawat may be an unknown name, but the Uttarakhand Police runner portrays the tale of athletes at the grassroots level.india Updated: Mar 15, 2012 23:50 IST
Mukesh Rawat may be an unknown name, but the Uttarakhand Police runner portrays the tale of athletes at the grassroots level.
With meagre resources at his disposal, the influx of money in the road-race circuit has not only helped him survive but live a decent life. The small rewards earned through pounding his way through the streets have not only contributed to the family's scanty financial resources but fueled his passion for running.
"I am thankful to God for supporting me," Rawat said after winning the 10,000m and 5,000m double at the All India Police Meet on Wednesday.
He began competing in prize money races two years ago, and the first cheque of Rs 31,000 came in a 15km race at Nainital.
"The money gave me a chance to better my diet," he said.
Over the past two years, a major chunk of his earnings have gone into supporting his family of four (two younger sisters, a teenaged brother and mother).
His father passed away in 2006. What remained was pumped into the sport.
"Running isn't cheap these days. Even a pair of shoes cost a huge amount," said the 24-year-old, referring to the money he has spent on training gear.
A hard upbringing went a long way in shaping his career. Growing up in a village near Mussoorie, where walking is the only way out, armed him to withstand the rigours of distance running.
"Walking in the hills proved to be a blessing in disguise," he said on breaking into the top-six in 10,000m.
The opportunity to represent his college at the national level proved to be Godsend. He didn't make it to the podium but it aroused the passion for running.
"I was lucky to attend the college team trials," he said, recalling that fateful day in 2007.
Otherwise, he could have ended up doing small jobs in the village.
The breakthrough moment came in 2010 when he won two medals, one of them gold, in distance races at the Inter-Varsity meet. This also earned him a job in the state police.

Everyone experiences self-doubt from time to time, but when it becomes overwhelming there may be a deeper issue.
People who have depression are thought to lack an optimistic view of themselves, of others, and of the world in general. Healthy individuals, by contrast, tend to see themselves and their surroundings in a more positive, hopeful light.
People who have an anxiety-related illness feel more stressed out than healthy people. They worry about the future, their decisions, and their loved ones to the point of distraction.
Self-esteem issues can affect people with anxiety, as it makes them question their choices much more than a healthy person would. People who have an anxiety disorder may find it difficult to enjoy a normal life if constantly feeling the need to question themselves.
One woman in the United Kingdom learned to feel better about herself after being treated professionally for her mental health conditions. She found that she could use art to improve her self-esteem and relieve some of her negative feelings and worry.
The help the woman sought was actually a course designed to teach women to feel more self-confident and to value themselves. Group self-improvement courses taught by licensed professionals can be a great resource for people who are not ready to try therapy.

Bundeswehr Black Lace-up Boots Variant 1: With Smooth Leather (Die Schwarzen Schnurstiefel Variante 1: Der Glattleder-Schnurstiefel)
Black boots of the German Army (Bundeswehr) are made of genuine smooth leather, they feature leather intermediate sole + polyurethane tread. According to the Bundeswehr footwear classification, they are called: "Die schwarzen Schnurstiefel Variante 1: Der Glattleder-Schnurstiefel" (Black leather lace-up boots variant 1: with smooth leather).
The boots size is indicated in the "Mondopoint" system, i.e. in millimetres. The 8-eyelet speed-lacing system is provided with the help of non-ferrous metal loops, manufactured by the "STOCKO" company, a contract provider of the Bundeswehr.
The boot's leather padded tongue is sewn to the boots top on the level of the sixth eyelet of the speed-lacing system, if to count upwards from down. So one can step into a puddle almost up to this level without ingress of water inside. Under condition of regular treatment with quality boot cream the boots leather doesn't get wet. The heel is reinforced with an additional layer of thick leather, which provides good ankle fixation and protection from dislocations.
On a sample photo one can see durable but flexible leather and thick leather intermediate sole, fixed together with polyurethane tread by an adhesive is manufactured by "Continental" company.
Unlike modern direct-moulded boots with soft rubber outsoles (which are practically not a subject of repair), the "leather+ polyurethane outsole" adhesive mounting method allows one to repair such boots by almost any cobbler and even to replace the outsole completely when needed.
These boots are no longer produced because of the high complexity of the handmade process and need in expensive materials. Modern industry has long been focused on the manufacture of disposable items, which can not be repaired.
"BW Kampfstiefel Typ 2000" ("Bundeswehr Type 2000 Combat Boots")
More recent, but less successful "Model 2000" Bundeswehr boots (so-called "BW Kampfstiefel Typ 2000") have serious constructive defects that occur over time. Even if not to wear, but just to store them (washed clean, polished with a good cream ("KIWI", for example) and filled-in with crumpled paper to keep the correct form), sooner or later the outsoles start to peel off, and then grey foam layer between the leather innersole and thick rubber tread crumbles and decomposes. After that, these boots are not a subject to repair - leather intermediate layer is treated with a kind of glue which can not be eliminated. Moreover, most of the new rubber soles in the cobbler's workshops are no longer flat, but with the folds for sewing, and the cost of the works would be too high.

Fiadoe. Surinamese rum-and-raisin rolls.
This is a recipe that the boy had been begging me to make for ages, except I was not able to really find a recipe I understood or trusted. However, knowing how I love to bake, the other day my mother in law brought me a cookbook (De surinaamse keuken by Ilse Marie Dorff) that used to belong to the boy's grandma and showed me the recipe. It was a good exercise, trying to understand it (it was all written in "creols" style, that is: -'add a little bit of that, and do this until it resembles such and such'- What? I need precision). But I decided to experiment and the rolls did not come out bad at all. So I am sharing here the recipe with the slight modifications I made. There was an ingredient, succade, that I was not able to get hold off, so I just used orange zest instead. And I did not have rum, so I used cognac.
7 gr (1 envelope) dry yeast
3 tbsp. sugar
250 ml. lukewarm milk
4 eggs
vanilla essence
250 gr. butter, softened (I left it out the whole day).
500 gr. flour
For the filling
150 gr. sugar
cinammmon, powdered ginger and nutmeg
250 gr. raisins, soaked in rum
The zest of 2 oranges
100 gr. finely chopped almonds
What to do
Mix the flour with the dry yeast. Beat the eggs with a drizzle of vanilla essence and the sugar (3 tbsp) until obtaining a thick mixture. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. While mixing (I used the kitchenaid with the hook attachment at this point, but this is totally doable by hand) start adding the flour, little by little, alternating with the lukewarm milk as moisture requires, to form a dough. You know it's ready when the dough starts separating from the bowl (or from your hands), but it is quite a sticky dough. I did not need all the 250 ml of milk, it was more like... 200 ml?
Let the dough rise for about 1 hour in a warm place (until it doubles its size). I usually cover it with plastic foil or a damp cloth. In the meantime, for the filling mix the sugar, cinammon, powdered ginger, orange zest and almonds. Flour and grease a springform pan (I used a 10 inch / 27 cm pan). When the dough is ready preheat the oven to 220º C. Flour your hands and working surface and roll the dough (it might need a little bit of kneading, but it should be easy to handle if there is just enough flour around). Cut a circle of dough the size of the bottom of your pan and cover it. Roll out the rest of the dough to a large square, spread butter all over it, then sprinkle some filling and raisins over it. Roll the square in spiral and cut little slices of it. Arrange the rolls in the spring form (if you have some extra rolls you could just bake them individually in a muffin pan).
Let the rolls rise for another 20-30 min. Add a little bit of butter on top of each roll, and bake for 40-50 min. And that's it, you are ready to enjoy. If you'd like, at this point you can glaze your rolls (I would use a mix of powder sugar and orange juice) or soak them in syrup (rum infused syrup if you are being naughty).

Me encanta, yo también he querido hacerla, ya será para fin de año que tenga un horno a la mano. Te quedo muy linda y seguro olía y sabía delicioso. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Gracias! Lo tienes que intentar, es fácil. Lo de forrar la base del molde es un tip muy útil (que yo no había visto en otras recetas) porque es más fácil de servir, desmoldar y cortar los roles.Delete
Quedo bueno pero si le hubiera ayudado bañarlo en algún jarabe o glaseado.
Wow that looks delicious. I have been thinking about you sweetie, I hope all is well. Hugs.ReplyDelete
This reminds me of a much more delicious version of my cinnamon buns. Because every sweet bun clearly needs rum.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah... these Caribbean people obsessed with their rum. (That sounds really stereotypical, I don't mean it like that though). You wouldn't believe it but the recipe book asked to soak the buns in rum (like directly in rum, after baking, not in rum syrup with its evaporated alcohol, no).Delete
But I imagine it can be good, I did not have any rum, but I would have added Malibu for the extra pineapple sweetness.
"Every sweet bun needs rum"... sounds like something you could frame in the style of those "Keep calm and carry on" signs.

Promising individuals from around the world receive the opportunity for training and certification that otherwise may be out of reach
PRAGUE – OPEN SOURCE SUMMIT EUROPE – October 24, 2017 – The Linux Foundation, the non-profit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, announced the recipients of its 2017 Linux Foundation Training (LiFT) Scholarships.
LiFT provides advanced open source training to existing and aspiring IT professionals from around the world.
This is the seventh year The Linux Foundation has awarded training scholarships. Seventy-five scholarships worth more than $168,000 have been awarded to date to current and aspiring IT professionals who may not otherwise be able to afford specialized training. Scholarship recipients receive a Linux Foundation training course and certification exam at no cost.
This year, The Linux Foundation received a record 1,238 applications for 14 scholarships – 2 each across 7 categories. The quality of applications in the Linux Newbies category was so high that the decision was made to award an additional 13 scholarships in that category, bringing the overall number of LiFT recipients this year to 27, the most ever awarded by The Linux Foundation.
Unsurprisingly due to the popularity of the free Intro to Linux course, the most popular category was Linux Newbies, followed by SysAdmin SuperStars and Academic Aces. Applications were received from six continents from applicants ranging in age from 15 to 65 – with an average age of 28 – reflecting that all types of people from around the world are interested in quality open source training opportunities.
"There are countless individuals around the world with a passion for open source, but many lack the resources to grow and participate more in the community," said Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin.
"Programs like LiFT scholarships help these promising individuals get involved and contribute back, making the community even stronger. The hope is this creates a ripple effect, enabling them to share their knowledge and bring even more talented individuals into the open source movement."

This means that if you're still thinking, feeling, and acting like someone who thinks that the other person should be doing the 'chasing' and 'initiation of interaction' effort, that means that whether you're just dating or you're in a relationship, you're either holding back or you take a passive, backseat role and effectively hand over the wheel or the reins to partners. At what point do you feel that you should step up and make an effort to help maintain the relationship and drive it along?
In February 2010, three suspected traffickers were arrested on the border trying to bring 18 young adults from Cameroon, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea into Gabon.The suspects remain jailed as the investigation continues.The government coordinated the repatriation of the vessel's victims to their countries of origin with the concerned governments, guided by the Gabonese Procedural Manual for the Treatment of Trafficking Victims.In direct support of victim protection measures, the government spent approximately 0,000 to support three centers offering foster care to child victims of trafficking, in Libreville and Port Gentil.
The majority of victims were young girls, a departure from previous patterns of trafficking in the region.
In some cases, child victims report that their parents had turned them over to intermediaries promising employment opportunities in Gabon.
The government has no reports of international organized crime syndicates, employment agencies, marriage brokers, or travel services facilitating trafficking in Gabon.
Trafficking offenders appear to operate in loose ethnic-based crime networks.
Most child traffickers are women, who serve as intermediaries in their countries of origin.
Government personnel employed procedures to identify victims of trafficking among vulnerable groups, such as migrant children, and referred them systematically to government or NGO shelters.

For months I've been very frustrated about the limited power of mail's rules to do what I want. What I wanted was to review all messages from an email list I'm on and only keep the ones with a certain subject line. To try and make do, I made rule after rule deleting all the messages with other subject lines but that wasn't enough and was too labor intensive too.
I saw that applescripts could be of some help but I didn't want to go that direction. What I really wanted was the ability to say if message matched x and any of y (with lots of variables) then do z.
After months of random search failures, my brain finally flipped on a switch when it remembered that the rules are run in order of preference and that I could simply make two rules to do what I wanted. The first rule found the messages I wanted to keep and sorted them into the proper folder. The second rule deleted everything else. Here I spent so much time being frustrated when a rather simple solution was waiting for me the entire time.
I still feel like it would be useful if you could have rules that with more options that just "match any" or "match all" because I can see lots of instance where you'd want to run a rule on all messages from a certain sender that match a variety of (aka "any") variables. As far as I can tell, short of writing an applescript to do this, it isn't an option at this time.

The farmers who own structures in these villages are not subject to the building codes and land use regulations that local governments enforce on urban land. They are free to adjust housing prices to meet the demand coming from low-income migrants. For many new arrivals to China's cities, urban villages have become an important source of affordable rental housing.
Because structures in the villages are often built close enough together for neighbors to reach out and greet one another, residents refer to them as woshoulou, or "handshake buildings."
What design, architecture, engineering, safety, and business decisions did stakeholders have to make?
How would YOU like to live in a neighborhood like this?
What are the Yellow Hat (Positives), Black Hat (Negatives), or Green Hat (Creative Challenges) to consider if you lived in a "handshake building?"

October 2015 Update
Health is Primary in Colorado. The Health is Primary campaign visited Denver on October 2 during the AAFP's Family Medicine Experience (FMX). More than 100 leaders representing primary care and the broader health care community were joined by consumer advocates, policy and business leaders to hear a panel discussion focused on innovations in care delivery and integration and access to primary care. Strong investments in primary care are resulting in healthier patients and expanded access to care. Click here to read the AAFP News piece on this event. To learn more about the primary care transformation underway in Colorado, go to http://healthisprimary.org/node/26. Next stop: Detroit on October 21.
T.R. Reid Speaks at FMX. Journalist and documentary filmmaker T.R. Reid opened the final general session at the 2015 FMX on Oct. 2 with an update on the Health is Primary campaign, which launched one year ago this month. Mr. Reid, who has served as moderator of the city tour panels, wrote a powerful piece about his experience on the road with the campaign.
Health is Primary Publishes Anniversary Report. The Health is Primary campaign released a one-year wrap up of the stories featured at the first three city tour events. This report will be expanded as the campaign visits more cities during the next few years. Click here to view the online version of the report.
Technology Team Gathers Input on Primary Care Technology Needs in 2020. The Technology Tactic Team is exploring viewpoints on what primary care technology needs to look like in the value-based world of 2020 and beyond. As part of its work, the team is conducting interviews with innovators and stakeholders in primary care, Health IT, and related fields. Having developed a set of interview guidelines and recruited volunteers, the team expects to invite wide input on a vision for how technology can support the primary care function under new payment models.
The Practice Core Team Welcomes Volunteers. The Practice Tactic Team invited approximately 12 prospective members to their September Team meeting. In this meeting, the prospective Tactic Team members were introduced to the work in which the team is currently engaging. New members were invited to identify which project area best aligns with their interests.
FMAHealth celebrates National Primary Care Week! Dr. Glen Stream, President and Chair of FMAHealth, led a live webinar on October 5 on the AAFP's Family Medicine On Air program where he discussed the evidence for needed change in the U.S. health care system and the crucial role of primary care. Dr. Stream also participated in a panel on October 13 hosted by Primary Care Progress where viewers learned about their vision, advocacy strategies and why the healthcare community needs to start engaging "the grassroots."
The Workforce Team spearheaded a collaboration among 14 organizations to support National Primary Care Week. The organizations joined together to provide resources that demonstrate the importance of primary care and help make National Primary Care Week a success across the United States. The resources included helpful flyers, presentations, and links to videos and webinars. The collaboration included FMAHealth and its eight sponsoring organizations, the American Medical Student Association, the Association of Native American Medical Students, the Latino Medical Student Association, the Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative, Primary Care Progress, and the Student National Medical Association.
Family Medicine Releases Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). As part of the strategic planning process of Family Medicine for America's Health, entrustable professional activities (EPAs) were developed for the discipline of family medicine relating to residency completion. Evidence for improved health outcomes, healthcare system efficiency, and equity in care were used to develop these EPAs.
EPAs are broad categories of activities that define the essential professional work of a discipline. With regard to residency training, EPAs define the expectations for the education of family physicians. EPAs integrate all of the core competencies, subcompetencies, and their specific milestones.
EPAs define the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors that each family medicine resident physician must master. Additionally, physicians in osteopathic designated residencies will incorporate the utilization of osteopathic principles and practice in their overall evaluation and treatment of patients. Each resident physician must be able to perform each activity without supervision before graduation from a family medicine residency training program. Family Medicine educators must ensure that systems of assessment align with the expectations of the future activities of the trainees.
For family medicine, EPAs collectively define a type of care that residency graduates can be trusted to deliver to the public. It is understood that some graduates of family medicine residency programs will not practice the breadth described in these EPAs. Through such comprehensive training, the goal for the discipline is for more family physicians, rather than fewer, and for the majority of family physicians, rather than some, to practice this breadth.
To learn more about the EPAs, go to http://fmahealth.org/resources.

Cesar found a home in Germany in December 2016!
How much longer good, loving, beautiful Cesar will wait for his forever home? He is great with kids, love other dogs, hasn't been tested with cats, but while walking next to goats and geese, he did not bother, so we think he could be socialized with cats.
He is BIG. BOUNCY. Pulls on the lead, but with proper exercises and training this is easy to fix. Please, we BEG you, give him a good home.
I know we all feel sorry for dogs on put to sleep list. Cesar was never in the pound, this is his first time ever he is in the kennels and he is not happy bunny. Given up by first family, left behind by second… He is in a great need of a home, attention, love and most of all CUDDLES. He is 3 years old, castrated, fully vaccinated, with all paperwork ready.
Cesar is with us since February 2016.
Latest Update
Cesar was never a stray dog. Properly raised as a puppy by his first family, once he grew into big and active dog, family gave him up for adoption. He went straight from one family to another. He lived a little over a year with his second family in Cyprus. He was loved, children adored him, everything seemed perfect. Cesar was a perfect dog. But family left Cyprus and left Cesar behind. Heartbreaking. We picked up Cesar and placed him in private kennels, where he is waiting for his forever home since February 2016.
He may have a very serious name, but it does not reflect his goofy and kind personality. He is curious, affectionate husky boy, with lots of energy and love to give to his human. He is great with children, playful and social with other dogs.
He hasn't been tested with cats yet.
Adoption infos
Adoption fee – 350 Euros.
He had all blood tests, is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchiped and has an International Passport.
Do you want to foster him? Please fill out the foster form.
To apply for his adoption please fill out the Application form

My favorite marketing event of the year is here: E3! If you ended up at this post by accident and are unfamiliar, E3 is the biggest trade show/press conference/advertising event in the video game world.
For the initiated, we all know the cycle.
- Get hyped and excited about game shown at E3
- Grow more skeptical as the games release date closes in
- Get your hopes and dreams crushed as the game disappoints
- Rinse and repeat the next year
That's not to say all E3 games end up disappointments, but those that live up to hype-train expectations are few and far between. Sales narratives become a part of a game's fiction and when that narrative promises more than the software can deliver we end up with Fable or Watch Dogs. Our hearts get broken.
We all know to remain skeptical, but every year we eagerly watch and attend E3. It may be dumb, but it's a dumb hope. And I'll be eagerly watching again next year.
There's something cathartic about the event, the announcements, the surprises, and confirmed rumors. We don't keep coming back because of some commercialized Stockholm complex.
We keep coming back for that silly but happy moment when a beloved character walks on screen or the familiar theme of favorite franchise fills your speakers or the debut of some promising future of the medium.
I suppose I'm justifying my own excitement for what really is a sophisticated marketing event. It's a way to get players to pull out their wallets for preorders. E3 is meant to sell hardware and software. The cynicism deepens with every rehearsed presentation from a business person pretending to be a game enthusiast.
Yet E3's true joys, being caught up in the feeling of something special (whether it is or not), are free. No need to preorder. No need to dash your hopes just yet. On the other side of that corporate office appeasing stakeholders, are thousands of talented engineers, artists, writers, and directors who hope that you love the thing they made for you.
Sony opened their conference with a live orchestral score booming with mystery and norse-ian chants a la Skyrim. Then the game started. The character seemed unfamiliar. A cam in the lower right hand corner of the footage displayed a man controlling the game live. He playfully raised his eyebrows at the camera to prefigure the coming reveal.
An old Kratos from the God of War series stepped into the frame. The crowd erupted into decibel levels unmatched at the whole event. That man who was playing the game is the lead for the new God of War. When the crowd lost their shit, he let out a smile of relief and pride you cannot fake.
The crowd's reaction justified 2+ years of difficult work. It seemed to remind him why he was here. For the same reason many of us watch E3, to share in the affinity for this intoxicating medium and to experience it's greatest product: joy.

Balancing a Gentle Spirit With the Need For Boldness
We're told to be "swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath" in James 1:19. This is consistent with the command that Christians are to be gentle and patient. And yet we're also instructed to be bold and firm. How do we balance a gentle disposition with the need for boldness?

Baitcasting rods – Buying guide, Reviews and Comparison
If you don't want to waste a lot of time reading baitcasting rod reviews in the attempt of finding the best baitcasting rod for you, this paragraph will highlight all you need to know about them. After doing an exhaustive research, we have come to the conclusion that the Falcon Rods BuCoo is the best product in this category due to its graphite build, a highly appreciated material used in the fishing rods industry that brings together strength and flexibility, it is fully equipped with high-quality components, such as the Fuji guides, and it is manufactured by Falcon, a highly appreciated fishing gear manufacturer. However, if this product is out of stock, we recommend the Berkley Cherrywood HD Casting Rod as a second best option, though it doesn't match the quality of the first.
Comparison table
Our top choices
In the following part of this article, we have showcased three products, each of them with its own advantages and drawbacks that you will be able to use in many fishing spots and for various types of fishing.
Falcon Rods BuCoo
This graphite baitcasting rod comes with a handful of qualities that make it a strongly balanced product, useful for many fishing situations. It is 7 feet long, offering excellent casting precision, combined with increased flexibility and vibration sensitivity.
It is equipped with 100% finished Fuji guides, that will not get easily corroded and, thus, break after a while, because they become less resistant.
The product is fitted with an extra light EVA split handle, with two sections. The rear handle has a small dimension, while the second section has an increased length to offer more control over the rod. EVA is a non-skid material that will make dropping the fishing rod unlikely, even when fighting a big catch. The reduced weight of the item will make sure your wrists and palms won't feel sore after a long fishing session, but relaxed and ready for another fishing day.
The moderate flexibility of the rod makes this item ideal for open water fishing and throwing small crank baits.
It proves surprising versatility considering you can use it for jigs, spinnerbaits, swim baits and topwater baits. It can throw about anything you set your mind to.
The BuCoo graphite blank is lightweight and therefore excellent for cranking. Although it doesn't perform just as well when it comes to ripping the lures through the grass, it is comparable to other much more expensive rods on the market.
It also has the backbone required to get you out of heavy mats, so there's no drawback in its achievements.
The strength that it carries can offer a medium heavy experience without any difficulty as well as perform great all round.
The materials used for the guides are not top quality, so they might bend, crack or become brittle over time.Click to see the price on Amazon!
Berkley Cherrywood HD
If you want to buy your teenage kid a baitcasting rod or you enjoy fishing as a recreational activity, but you do not want to invest loads of money in buying one, this is an ideal product, solid and resistant.
It has a hybrid design that was especially created to increase its sensitivity and, thus multiply your chances to catch fish. The SS304 guides are substantially tougher and more than 50% lighter than ordinary aluminum products and their resistance and endurance is tested in the factory.
Fitted with a natural cork grip that increases its sensitivity, this product couldn't be lighter and more responsive to your commands. The rod is 7 feet long, making it fitted for various fishing settings and techniques and won't disappoint even in more challenging situations. It is a great option for you son or daughter, and they'll be particularly thrilled with its elegant design and colour.
The rod provides high sensitivity thanks to the hybrid design construction. It's unlikely you'll miss any bites while you're backed by this well-engineered instrument.
This is a versatile model you can use for bass, redfish, and crappie and does a great job for flipping, spinnerbaits and crankbaits.
The guides are dependable and hold up well without grooving or cracking. That is because the brand used SS304 guides on the model. They are 20 times tougher and 55% lighter than your common aluminum oxide guides. Factory testing must have had some impact, too.
The cork handle is well designed for a tight grip and a comfortable fishing, so you can spend decent time with it.
The price is fair considering the well-built product, the smart design, and top brand.
The tip is great for flexibility but it's a bit too soft to hold up well, and it could give up when you least expect.Buy from Amazon.com for ($24.99)
Rippin Lips Super Cat
If you are in search of a really strong baitcasting rod, the Rippin Lips model has a league of its own. This is an 8 foot rod that is long enough for you to take it with you anywhere you're planning to go fishing, and will allow you to cast long distances and with exceptional precision.
And, if you're one of those people that are so madly in love with fishing that they cannot stop once they got started, this model comes with a 3 sections grip, designed to fit under your arm, while you can still control it perfectly with one hand. It is fitted with 8+1 chrome plated and epoxy finished guides that won't rust, break or wear out in time.
The S-glass frame makes this product more sensitive and durable than others of its kind, as this variation of fiberglass was especially created for fishing tools.
It is lighter and stronger due to the use of S-glass, the type of fiberglass that was developed for this purpose precisely. You can probably pull more pounds than you will ever need to.
The guides have great endurance as they are chrome plated and made of stainless steel. The series designer introduced them because he recognized the need for stronger support when battling stronger fish.
As an enhancement, the item uses an epoxy coat for the guide wraps. This way you can rest assured that you won't lose any guides as they won't come off anymore.
The glow in the dark tip is a nice feature for when you go fishing for the catfish during nighttime. It's now possible to see the bite by following the high-visibility tip.
Built to last, this catfish rod is a great choice for the money.
The pole is a bit stiff and because of that, you'd have to use a bait clicker to get the small bites.Click to see the price on Amazon!
Buying guide
Even though they are simple instruments, it takes more knowledge than you'd imagine in choosing top baitcasting rods. If you have no idea how to find the top baitcasting rod of 2019, or if you have had negative experiences with them in the past, you will find out all the essential information about them in this short buying guide.
Today's baitcasting rods manufacturers rely on two materials: graphite and fiberglass. Though the first is more used and it is generally believed to be a better option, the second one has its undeniable qualities, and it is also cheaper than its counterpart. If you can't decide which to pick, you can opt for a mix of the two in a single product. Graphite is more sensitive to movement, allowing you to spot any vibration of the rod and it is also more flexible. Somewhat opposite to graphite, fiberglass is stronger, thus not as sensitive, but it is more durable than the first one. Both materials behave well in most fishing contexts.
The handle of your rod is essential when fishing because it will determine, alongside the rod, how much control you have on the instrument, but will also give you an idea about how easy the rod feels in your hand.
You can mainly choose between synthetic handles and cork handles, with the latter being the one preferred by most fishermen, due to its lightweight build and vibration sensitive qualities. But do not make a cork grip the outmost criteria upon which you base your fishing rod choice. If you set your eyes on a great quality fishing rod, but equipped with a foam handle, you can trust that this material as well will ensure an adequate environment for your hands.
The rod's length generally indicates at what distance you can cast and what type of bait you can use with it. A shorter rod will handle lightweight bait and, cast shorter distances, while a longer rod, on the contrary, casts farther, it is more flexible, and heavier bait can be used. They are also more useful when fishing inshore, when you need to cast far from where you stand. However, when fishing, each of the rods can have different benefits, so you need to choose the rod depending on what species you're after and where you are going fishing.

By: Dr Ian Cook, Murdoch University Senior Lecturer In Global Politics & Policies.
Malcolm Turnbull's promises to give $5.4 billion dollars to fund transport infrastructure and health services in WA must have been the sweetest music that Mark McGowan has heard since his government came to power.
There's simply nothing like the smell of an electoral disaster to get a federal government spending money to buy votes they look like losing.
But McGowan must be hoping that the commitments Turnbull made are just the start of an extended bidding war for WA votes. He's still a couple of billion short of the money he needs to deliver on his election promises.
And McGowan had made promises to improve infrastructure and increase social services that he knew the state couldn't afford.
Let's not be naïve, though. McGowan had to make those promise during the election and to say he could deliver on them without increasing taxes. Even when he knew that the money wasn't going to be there to fund those promises.
Does anyone really think you can win an election by telling voters that you're going to increase taxes, introduce new taxes and not do very much until the budget is back in surplus? Even if it is good economics, and it might not be, it's bad politics.
So it's standard practice, even during periods of economic decline.
Newly elected state governments adopt a variety of strategies in this situation. Anyone who knows politics knew they were coming.
And they did.
Strategy 1 is to wring their hands and declare that they can't deliver on election promises because the state's financial situation is much worse then they'd been led to believe. (I call it the "Old Mother Hubbard" gambit.)
"It's all the preceding government's fault that we can't deliver on our promises!" they cry.
And they did.
Strategy 2 is to blame the federal government.
This is easy to do, given that WA taxpayers get 34 cents back for every dollar we contribute to the GST pool.
And McGowan and, Treasurer, Ben Wyatt did.
Strategy 3 is to go back on promises not to increase existing taxes or impose new ones.
They tried that with the tax on gold miners. But it was blocked in the Legislative Council.
So, in a way, they didn't.
Strategy 4 is not to move on projects that were promised during the election. But this means that they end up looking like a "do nothing" government.
And they have.
Strategy 5 is to reduce government spending. Such as making cuts to school funding and closing the School of the Air.
And they did.
And then they didn't. (As an educator, I thought those were bad decisions and was happy to see the decisions reversed.)
So Mark McGowan is lucky that an impending election whitewash for the Federal Government means that Strategy 2 is paying off.
And he'll be hoping that it's not over yet and that federal Labor will keep the pot growing until he can keep promises that he couldn't have kept if Turnbull wasn't desperate and Shorten couldn't be drawn into the bidding war that Mark McGowan needs.

21 - 22 Apr 2018
Open House
Sat 21st & Sun 22nd April 10-1 & 2-5
This event has now finished.
Just turn up
If you are wondering where to start, but don't know how, but know you want to improve your home, not only to save money but because it's important to you, come to Henry House as they have it all covered.
Whether it be water or energy efficiency, or urban bee hive management, you really must make a visit here.
Water is needed for everything here, both for business and personal use, as is energy. The relationship created by these, through Karen's & Rolf's innovative DIY ways of reducing their consumption, in turn positively impacts something else, such as saving money, water recycling, not using mains water, generating income and energy from their solar panels.
The bee hive is brand new, and a wild local swarm is due to arrive in March. Just like us, bees need water, so the hive is situated right next to the pond, which is perfectly safe for all to get a good view of the garden's increasing diversity of dragonfly, damsel flies, frogs and toads.
A great synergy has been created by Karen's long-term passion for ecology and her engineering background. Henry House is a perfect learning environment for parents and children, which can be easily replicated.
And to top it off Rosa, Karen's 7-year-old granddaughter will be on site on Saturday to answer your questions as well as help you have fun with bumble bee dress up!

The police are considering an animal cruelty charge after 12 pedigree dogs were found in a removal lorry on one of the hottest days of the year.
Two prize winning dog breeders may face prosecution after putting the pets in the lorry for a 200 mile trip in the sweltering 30C heat.
Alan and Julie Weatherley, both 50, were planning to travel from London to Doncaster to move house when they were stopped by police. Police officers found the dogs, which can fetch up to £1,000 each, stacked in cages in the scorching temperatures with little or no ventilation alongside furniture.
The couple, who are both Kennel Club accredited Airedale breeders, had all the animals removed from possession and they were forced to make the journey to Yorkshire without them. The officers had been tipped off after a compliant from a neighbour claimed that one of the caged dogs had fallen off the wagon into the road.
A policeman at the scene said the removals lorry had "little or no ventilation" but that the couple had planned to stop every half an hour to walk and water the animals.
The Kennel Club described the actions as 'misguided' and an RSPCA spokesman commented saying: "Any dog owner needs to ensure that their dogs are transported in comfortable and safe conditions, and this means that they must be kept cool and not be too cramped. If it can be proven that dogs were caused suffering then owners can be prosecuted."
It is imperative that people have adequate transport arrangements for their pets when moving home and for further guidance, speak to the removals professionals at Robinsons International.

Beautiful photos!! I miss travelling alone as well..can't wait to do it again!
I always enjoy the photos from your travels it's really awesome how comfortable you are with traveling solo.
Rowena @ rolala loves
I admire your independence and you valuing your alone time! Switzerland seems such a siren place. The lake, the mountain and even the animals look so calm and docile! Glad you were able to unwind and end summer in such a perfect way!
So lovely to have me time while travelling. Sometimes the thing about travelling alone is not to have a really concrete plan, just walk where your heart takes you. I can see what a wonderful time you had and what beautiful sights you took in from the photos. It sure looks cold! And all the animals seem to be posing so still for you! I'm a noob but is the first animal a woodchuck?
I just want to close my eyes, wake up and be THERE! This is an amazing place!
Holy crap, these photos are absolutely gorgeous! So jealous!
Isn't hiking awesome?! I love seeing hte mountains and just being in nature. Also props to you for travelling by yourself. I think that's awesome. Your photos are stunning too! I'm so glad I came across your blog.
xx, Pia
Oh my gosh, so beautiful! I think mountains are my favourite scenery. I visited Lucerne and Mt Rigi the first time I went to Europe – it was winter so snow covered and beautiful, but not as good a view as summer!
Such amazing photos, that goat sitting on top of the post is funny! And what is the first animal that is eating something, a marmotte? The open top cable car looks like great fun
Suze | LuxuryColumnist
Thanks Suze. Yes, the first animal is a marmot. So cute; I could have watched him for hours. xo
wow these photos are absolutely breathtaking the mountains are stunning! Can't wait to see Lucerne and Zug!
I was looking forward to this post as I would like to visit to Switzerland too. Such a beautiful place, love the photos you took! Thanks for the travel tips!
Betty, bettyfashionlounge.com
Absolutely stunning photos! I've never travelled solo before but it's one of the things I want to do soon!

Anyone with the vaguest working knowledge of my routinely
hateful bile rational thought will know that Kane being a Spurs player doesn't count for much in tonight's game.
I'd like England to play their best, be better than Croatia and win.
Therefore, the ball must to be given to Harry.
Ideally, as frequently as possible.
Kane and his frankly psychopathic finishing will make the difference against any side, where the likes of Sterling and Lingard probably won't.
As Spurs fans, we've watched hour upon hour of Tottenham labour in the Europa, to then see Kane come on and deliver a killer blow or two or three.
It sounds like a daft point to dwell upon, but nobody else in the England squad can match Kane for goals.
So I'm confused as to why Kane isn't the focus point.
Despite all the hot air generated about Sterling, in the final analysis he's been routinely shocking.
Croatia had an absolutely fantastic group stage winning all 3 of their games including an astonishing win vs Argentina and eye catching performances from the duo of Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic.
The continuous control of the Croatian midfield has proven utterly vital for them to progress through the tournament.
Despite the praise they've received they have definitely crumbled somewhat since getting into the knockout stages; facing Denmark and Russia where they proceeded via penalty shootouts.
