High Waisted Jean Shorts DIY – StuddingPosted: August 2, 2012 Filed under: diy, fashion | Tags: diy, diy shorts, high waisted shorts, levis, studding shorts, studs Leave a comment
I've been working on this project for a while and I finally started on it. I bought a pair of high waisted levis shorts from a local thrift store about a month ago and then I've been ordering and waiting for studs all month from online. I bought a set of 8mms with flat backs from an etsy store to diy a phone case and then I realized 8mms is really small and so I started shopping around on ebay for 10mms and 12mms and I realized it's so much cheaper than from etsy.
Here's the little container I've been using to put my studs in.
I got them in sets of 100 studs which sounds like a lot but after this project I know it's not that much. It took most of my 12mms to just do the pocket and down one side.
I started out studding the left pocket.
I was going to do the other one too but I realized I wouldn't have enough for both pockets so I decided to just do a line down the other side.
And here's the finished studded look.
I still have to distress it and maybe do some bleaching and fraying but I've learned a lot from my first studding experience. I know now that I need a lot more studs and bigger studs if I don't want to sit there forever studding. I have three pairs of shorts that I will be studding next but I have to bleach them first because they're darker than I like and then I will do some more studding. I'm also going to order bigger studs for those shorts. I will do another post when I do my next ones!
Haul, Broken Ban & All – Fashion & JewelryPosted: August 2, 2012 Filed under: fashion, shopping | Tags: Fashion, fashion haul, haul, shopping, style Leave a comment
I was supposed to be on a shopping ban through mid July but after about two weeks I gave up. Also the number one motivation for my ban was because I was supposed to be saving up for a trip to Chicago but we decided not to go anymore so I just threw the ban out the window. So of course in my typical shopping fashion, here are my buys for the month of July. I had to break up the haul into two parts, fashion & beauty. First up is Fashion and Jewelry.
I picked up some tanks for my boyfriend for summer.
I picked up this lace type top from a local boutique
I've actually been looking for more of a white damask top but everytime I find one it's a cropped style so I went with this one because it doesn't quite look like lace so its still nice and summery.
I've been really into cut out shoulders lately so I picked up four from Forever21 but the sheer ones were extremely inexpensive at $13.50 each!
I got the sheer ones in nude, white, and black.
I also picked up two dresses, both around $12 each.
I picked up two semi-sheer blouses from H&M in pink and leopard.
I also picked up this cute white top from a boutique.
I picked up some thrift store shorts for diy-ing.
I got a really good deal on shoes as well!
I got all of these plus another pair from Gap for under $13!
I also found my perfect pair of nude pumps!
I have been searching for years now for a good pair that didn't have an ugly front platform but that didn't look like a work pair either.
I found some sandals from Target.
Since it's summer, I found some great deals on swimsuits as well.
This set is from Target.
These are all on sale from Old Navy.
That's all for clothes and shoes. I did pick up a few accessories as well. First is this cute over the shoulder bag from Forever21.
I just love this piece because it's so simple and so chic.
And that's it for the fashion part of the haul. It seems like a lot but I got almost all of it on sale or for really good prices!
Recent Purchases – 6/26/12 baby HaulsPosted: June 26, 2012 Filed under: fashion, Makeup, Recent Purchases, shopping | Tags: bikini so teeny, essie play date, essie polish, essie to buy or not to buy, haul, hauls, mojito madness, recent purchases, revlon charming swatch, shopping 1 Comment
I've been collecting pictures of stuff I've hauled over the course of the past few weeks. I actually got a lot of this with coupons and sales so I'm super excited about that! First of all, as you know I've recently joined the Iphone train so I've made some ebay orders for covers. I think I bought 5 cases in total since I got my phone. They've been arriving every couple of days so I've snapped shots a few.
I gave this mint one to my sister but I love the rubberized feeling of it so I will probably order another one.
This is the one I'm currently using.
That little bow over the earphone jack is called a plug and it's to protect dust from getting inside the headphone jack.
I've also been trying to diy some shorts so I've ordered a lot of studs in different sizes.
These are 8mm and they're the only ones I've received so far. I got them off etsy but I've since learned that ebay is way cheaper.
I also picked up a few random things from Target.
I don't know how I went for so long without a staple remover. My nails thank me.
I also got this cute little notebook to replace my old moleskin. I looked for ages for one without lines but I've given up and decided to go with this one.
It's actually the perfect size, if only it didn't have lines and the pages were thicker.
Sonia Kashuk's summer stuff was on sale so I bought these two things with some coupons so they were super inexpensive.
I've been eyeing these brushes for a long time but didn't pick them up because I have another old Sonia Kashuk brush set that have really hard bristles. Luckily these are a lot softer and better. I'm really glad I got this set because they're all different brushes from what I already have.
I also used a coupon to get this beautiful brush.
It's so different from my other brushes. It has a mix of plastic and boar bristles and it seems to smooth out hair as you brush it.
I also picked up some random stuff at the mall. First is a sweater that says drama queen.
A cute bracelet in a peachy pastel color.
And then I dropped by sephora to return something and got a sample and a set using 500 points.
I don't like this moisturizer so far. It's very fragrant.
I've tried this serum and moisturizer once but it's an odd thick gel that's a dark red color. It feels so odd to rub on my face. I don't know how I feel about it.
I also picked up some lovely polishes again with an awesome target coupon that printed for me.
First, Mojito Madness:
It's lighter in the bottle than on the nails. On the nails it's not as bright but still very cute.
Next, Bikini so Teeny:
It's like a periwinkle blue. It's very cute and definitely has a purple undertone.
Next, I got one of the new maybelline ones in Fierce N Tangy:
I've been looking for an opaque yellow for so long and this one is just perfectly bright and opaque.
Next I have To Buy or Not to Buy
Sorry for the unclean swatch, I did these right after getting home. This color is one of my favorites! It's a super light lilac purple.
Next I got Charming by Revlon.
I was trying to decide between this one and lilacism but I already got two essie ones at the time so I went with this one.
And lastly I got Play Date.
It's a true purple but not too dark and not too light.
And lastly, I picked up this cute oversized clutch bag from the thrift store!
It's perfect for summer!
That's it for my haul this time around.
Daily – 6/22 weekend boyfriends, sushi, zoo & more food!Posted: June 26, 2012 Filed under: Daily Outing, fashion, outfit of the day | Tags: Fashion, outfit of the day, style, zoo Leave a comment
This past weekend was my boyfriends birthday so we ate a lot! But more on that later. We planned a full day out at the zoo and lake.
We woke up early to go the zoo to beat the rush and I'm so glad we did! I've never been to this zoo before so I was really excited to see what the hype was all about. It cost us $42 to get in which is probably why I've never been there before. My normal zoo is free.
We grabbed breakfast at MCDs which I hadn't done in the longest time. It felt like a mini road trip eating mcd breakfast and driving out there with the wind in my hair!
Here's what I wore.
top f21 | shorts AE | shoes LA | bag h&m
On my face I used all waterproof/swim stuff so that it wont melt off or come off after swimming later. I used loreal volumnous, etude waterproof liner, stila lip stain, stila bronzing gel.
Here's a shot of my favorite animals I saw at the zoo!
That prairie dog was looking right at me!
After the zoo, we grabbed some food and also attended a graduation party.
Later that night we went to grab some sushi and drinks.
I had eaten so much already though that I couldn't eat much sushi which is a shame since it's so good!
I didn't take as many pictures of the weekend as I could've mostly food so here is more from Sunday!
This rice platter is so good!
I ended the weekend eating yogurt with my mom and sisters and cousin.
Daily – 6/18-21 Hair change, eating & badmintonPosted: June 26, 2012 Filed under: Daily Outing, fashion, look of the day, outfit of the day | Tags: bubble tea, Fashion, look of the day, outfit of the day, style Leave a comment
I only captured two work outfits last week. First one is pretty simple and neutral.
top & bottom F21 | cardi Banana Republic
And here's the second one. This one has a bit more color.
top H&m | skirt F21 | cardi F21
later on in the day I changed to this to be more casual but still cute.
Last week I dyed my hair but it didn't turn out light enough so I'm going to try again this week. Here's a shot of it, you can't tell so well.
After it didn't work out I did some googling and found this one which I will be using this week.
It's supposed to be high lift so it should get my hair a lot lighter.
My boyfriend and I went to applebees and did the two for $20 last week.
I also did a bit of chicken cooking last week and it turned out great!
It's chicken and snow peas stir fried with a whole wheat pita.
I'm not a great cook but I certainly know my way around some thread and needle so I did some mending for my boyfriend.
This is about the only homey thing I can do.
Last week there were two major storms and a lot of fallen trees. Here's one I saw on my way to work.
That's not even the worst cause it was in someone's yard. The worst are the ones on the street that you can't drive around.
And finally I ended my week with some hard core badminton and some bubble tea.
I always get cappuccino and only once before has it failed me.
Daily – 6/16/12 weekend recap BBQ, Graduation, Cupcakes & ShoppingPosted: June 26, 2012 Filed under: Daily Outing, fashion, look of the day, Makeup, outfit of the day | Tags: fishing, forever21, look of the day, outfit of the day, shih tzu, shopping Leave a comment
I'm still not good at blogging often but with my phone I now take pictures of everything so I can keep a really good track of my activity to blog later on even if I can't get to it right away. I know this is long over due so I'll just get right into it.
My little sister graduated from highschool this year (valedictorian!) and so we threw her a graduation bbq. We had so much food! Looking at the pictures makes me want to bbq all over again!
My sister made these yummy mint chocolate cupcakes!
My contribution was the little decoration flags 🙂
I was going to buy her a camera for graduation but since she's going to Japan next week I told her I would just double the amount of money I was going to give her to use in Japan. Overall it worked out nicely because I don't have to worry about getting a gift and she gets extra cushion money for Japan just in case she wants to buy more.
The day after the party I had a me day so I did some shopping and errands. I knew I was going to stay on my feet all day so I opted for casual.
tops F21 | shorts AE | shoes LA | jewelery F21 & len
I took my grandma to the flea market early that morning to pick up some traditional wedding clothes.
And then I headed to the mall after. Here are some outfits I tried on at F21. I only walked away with one which you'll see in an upcoming haul post.
I also stopped in victoria's secret to browse.
They have the cutest fitting rooms! And I found the cutest neon orange shorts but they didn't have my size.
And then later in the day I went fishing with my boyfriend and his brother and brother's girlfriend. Well, I watched lol. Here's Koko at the bait shop.
It was fun until it started getting really cold and rainy.
I ended my weekend making plans for this year.
As you can see by the theme, I need to start saving now!

Here's what I used for makeup today:
And I have China Glaze for Audrey on my nails.
And some bonus instagram shots:
^current purse and wallet! All matchy matchy!

Binding Authority
Definition - What does Binding Authority mean?
A binding authority is an agreement in which an insurer gives full authority to an agent (typically an insurance broker) to act on their behalf for the purpose of underwriting. Once the agent has binding authority, they are legally allowed to sell policies on the insurer's behalf.
Insuranceopedia explains Binding Authority
Without a binding authority, insurance brokers would not be able to make business actions on behalf of their insurance company clients. This would significantly slow down the process of buying and selling insurance through brokers. However, a binding authority gives the brokers the power to act on the company's behalf.
Granting binding authority speeds up the process of selling and managing insurance policies. It also, however, makes it critical that insurance companies hire trustworthy and competent brokers. Otherwise, they may be giving authority to brokers who might make poor decisions on behalf of the company.

Months have passed since the first time we met Sky Italia. They were looking for a video ad server to deliver digital advertising on their Sky Go and Sky On Demand services. After a rigorous selection process alongside a number of competitors, Sky Italia chose ad.agio.
Like every ad-server, our solution has its strengths and weaknesses. We constantly challenge ourselves to build the best product, and as new weaknesses emerged during the assessment process, we worked on improving them. In the end, Sky Italia chose Neodata because of ad.agio's unique feature set and our commitment to continually improve our product.
Our company was founded on analyzing web traffic and using algorithms to profile and target online users. Our ad server, ad.agio, was a natural application of the knowledge we had accumulated through years of research. Now, more than ten years after we first launched ad.agio, we continue to differentiate ourselves from our competitors by quickly creating new ad-hoc features that allow our customers to test the efficacy of their digital advertising ideas.
It's difficult to maintain a competitive advantage if the business tools you adopt are not constantly improving. We have always viewed our role as a technology partner rather than a supplier. We work closely with our customers to turn their new digital advertising ideas into customized solutions. When they achieve their business goals, we succeed.
We also listen to our customers to learn what they like and dislike about the products they are using. This feedback drives the development of new features that help ad.agio maintain its competitive advantage. This is exactly what has happened with Sky Italia. Some features that were born out of this relationship include:
- Multi-screen, cross-device campaigns that deploy user profiling data for a more efficient targeting, without requiring the installation of additional tags
- Forecasts that take into account both actual delivered traffic and available placements that were not filled up because of targeting or frequency capping rules
- Optimized advertising breaks that select ads dynamically, so as to fill up the available space at full, to the benefit of advertisers
- Order Management modules that manage price lists, create orders and automatically transfer approved orders to the video ad server, saving traffickers' time and reducing error rate
- Integration of our video ad server with any CMS, CRM, SAP or BI system
- Personalized interfaces, along with 24/7 customer support
Because of this commitment to our product, Sky Italia has joined our customer list, which also includes La Repubblica, RCS, Mediaset, RAI Pubblicità, Veesible (formerly Tiscali advertising) and many more.
I am writing this post to share that we've earned the trust of another remarkable brand, and also to thank all of Neodata's employees and let them know I'm proud of our work. Thanks to the team who worked on the Sky project day and night. Thanks to Sky Italia for appreciating our effort and believing in us.

text: Hello Folks, For my research activities, I was trying to perform a benchmark comparison between calcite with other database systems. As an initial step, I was trying to do it for *Calcite* and *PostgresSql*. So, I thought TPCH queries were the right thing to start with. I tried running the TpchTest ( https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/master/plus/src/test/java/org/apache/calcite/adapter/tpch/TpchTest.java) by adding the *CalciteTimingTracer* in the junit tests to determine the execution time. While doing so, I could see that the execution time in calcite is significantly higher compared to postgresSql. On further investigation, I could see that we generate the required datas required for these queries(which comes around 150,000 for some tables) and I was under an impression that most of the time was spend on the data generation and that the query execution could be faster. So, I modified the relevant schema class ( https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/master/plus/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/adapter/tpch/TpchSchema.java) to perform the data generation and query execution separately. Then, I traced the time took for just query execution. Even, then there was a significant difference from that of PostgresSql. I, also enabled the *log4j.rootLogger* to *TRACE * to find the time spend for sql2rel and optimization phases of the class Prepare < https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/prepare/Prepare.java>. And, to my surprise, I could see that calcite takes a time of 355ms for sql2rel and 352ms for optimization for the junit test *testQuery01*. On the other side, the same query gave a planning time of 0.163ms in Postgres. I would like to know, if this is the right way to test the performance of TPCH queries using apache calcite. Can anyone let me know if there exist any better ways to do it. And, while searching through JIRA, I could find a ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2169 which was created by Edmon Begoli for performing a comparative performance study of the calcite framework. I think, its related to my current problem. I have no idea regarding the status of the ticket. It would be really great if someone could help me with some information on it. Also, now coming to the personal preference, I would like to continue my research in calcite due to its simplicity and extensibility. But, if I fail to give a good case study in favour of Calcite, I am afraid that I could loose an opportunity to work with calcite. Thanks and Regards Lekshmi B.G Email: lekshmibg09@xxxxxxxxx

The Foolproof Days Notice Template Strategy
Should you email the notice, be sure you allot an additional 3 days. If you issue many notices to give up, the judge will have to determine which set of case law they'd love to follow. Getting from a lease is often as simple as sending notice to the other party, for Month-to-Month Agreements for example, and as tough as submitting for an eviction in case the tenant is not cooperating.
Yes, it is possible to always opt to provide notice early, but you shouldn't ever provide notice late. In California, by way of example, it has to be published twice, with at least five days passing between the first and third publication dates. You are going to need to use another notice if your assumptions can be found in that region. The necessary notice depends on who is providing the notice and the sort of tenancy. Supplying resignation note is the action of notifying your employer that you will depart from your work.
Be fine as soon as you give notice because they might cure. Notice with a landlord needs to be supplied before or on the very first day of the three month notice period. A notice to vacate is a formal correspondence utilized by means of a landlord or tenant indicating a home or apartment is going to be empty. As a guideline, a 60-day notice is a great standard regardless of your state laws state. A great note will have its sway on the renters also. Let us have a look A very good 30-day note will present your tenants an impression they're with the most suitable landlord.
The letter needs to be concise, and you need to write a logical reason behind leaving the flat. It could also be helpful if you ask your company for a reference, or if potential employers will need to discover your employment dates at the business. Even though an eviction letter can not be deemed as a legal notice, a landlord can pick the tenant to court, even if he fails to agree to evict the area. Preventing an eviction letter and making the tenant aware of your aims is the proper method to begin doing this. The very first collection letter you get from a collection agency should have a validation note.
The Battle Over 30 Days Notice Template and How to Win It
A cover letter might have a logo or small photo of you along with your contact information in the header. A specialist letter should be well-designed with letterhead along with your private contact information. It turned out to be a cordial reminder letter.
Should it, you are going to have a letter telling you when to expect a choice. An individual may be made to compose a cancellation letter after getting unsatisfactory amount of services. The moment you've completed writing your cancellation letter, then you need to create copies of the exact same. Once you're certain that you are permitted to send across such a letter, here's a sample which could enable you to compose one. A letter requesting the termination of an insurance policy policy is called an insurance policy cancellation letter.
Changing jobs more frequently than once every year is presently frequently a sign of some kind of problem, therefore it is wise not to request transfers too frequently. If you own a month to month rental, you will need to inform your landlord a minimum of 30 days ahead of time. In some conditions, you merely need to give 14 days' notice that you would like to leave. If you are not completely certain of the day you're going to be moving, provide an general idea like the conclusion of the month" and you'll get connected with the particular date. Steer clear of that by accepting the position and requesting the employer to get a couple days to take into account if you need to start.
Whilst drafting such a notice it is always important to first look at the lease agreement you'd signed with your tenant to test for any clause that may have an effect on the note. The things you are most likely to take along with the things you're most likely to keep are also included. In nearly all instances, changing up your mind after giving notice places you in a poor position, as landlords and property managers aren't obligated to enable you to rescind your notice.

Small Row Boat
This small row boat was made with Maya, Zbrush, Photoshop, xNormal, and brought it all together in UDK. It is based on a picture of a real boat which had just been freshly varnished. For this model, I gave it less shine compared to the reference image and I faded out some color from the seats to make it appear as if the sun had bleached them.
To show off the boat, I made a small pedestal with sand and water along with some ocean side plants. In the video below, you can see the water moving, and I am happy with the way it all turned out.

Saturday morning, I joined up with almost 15 people to clean up the roads. The 'Friends of Mazo Beach' and the 'Badger Naturists' have all of the roads around Mazo beach (County road Y and Laws Drive) covered as part of the Adopt-A-Highway program. Twice a year, generally when it's still a bit cold, we pick up all the litter along these roads. I covered a 1 mile stretch of Laws Dr. myself, which is probably why I'm still sore today... Some of the members also took the time to pull garlic mustard, an invasive species that the DNR is trying to control.
This act of giving back to the community is what puts Mazo beach in such a good standing. We help out the DNR, keep the area roads clean, and keep our beach clean. When we need the support of the community -- such as keeping the beach open, nude, and in good standing, and keeping the religious nuts away -- we generally get it. That's why it's the largest free beach in the Midwest.
Giving back to the community is something all naturists should do! Make it known that we're good people, with good intentions, and that we have a positive role in the community. Many people saw me in the orange vest picking up litter -- I waved to them all, and they all waved back in a positive manner. They know what group I'm a part of, and they saw me cleaning up the area. This is the best form of advertising that we could do! It's good for us, it's good for the neighbors, and it's good for mother nature.
So stop hiding from your community. Put some clothes on, get together with some friends, and win over some positive support from your textile neighbors. You never know, you may need that support later on...

Quizbies Are Queems Of The Quop in Quacking Quiz
Graeme W
Finally!!! Months and months after their first victory, and after a large clutch of second place finishes, lovely regulars Quizby Queems have won the quiz at The Bohemia: it took a tie-breaker to do it, but they've finally done it.
After 40 questions, with QQ on 33 points alongside fellow beloved regulars Odd & Sodd, it came down to a decider question. Both teams really overestimated how many heads it was humanly possible to shave in one hour, but in the end, QQ were closer to the correct answer, so took home a much coveted win and the Golden Ticket, a £50 bar voucher.
An honourable mention should go to The Leftovers (or a reduced version of regulars Katatonia) who were only the third team to score in the thirties (with 30) on a very low scoring evening.
Another mention should go to the "winners" of the bottle of wine for 2nd last place tonight, Two Hopes. Well done. Ish.Disclaimer: Blog posts are written by our Quiz hosts.

The iDevice trio has definitely got fanbois hot under the collar with the announcement of new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. However, anyone who has ever bought an iPhone loves to hate Apple's lightning cables.
Lightning cables are the most tiresome part of our iPhone or iPad kit, but one of the most crucial as well. A good Lightning cable is long-lasting and trouble-free. The American multinational technology company's own offering, which comes included in each iPad & iPhone box, is 100% reliable, however, it will wear out and break if you do anything more demanding than just keeping it at one place as a permanent charging connection.
Accessory for your New iPhone
There is always a need to buy an additional cord which can survive bumps, tugs or the unwelcome attention of children. From battling with tangled up cables at the bottom of your bag, straining to use your iPhone while it's charging, or forgetting the charger, ullu lightning cables meet the needs of your individual lifestyle. Right off the look, you can judge just how much strong and dapper these cables are than the other lightning cables available in the market.
Offering 3 options of color in premium leather, while 4 options in the hand-colored leather category have further expanded the creative choices of customers. ullu lightning cables look chic everywhere, whether it is placed at your workstation in the office or rests at your side table beside your bed. The leather used is premium, exported from Italy and stitched into masterpiece only for you.
And finally, the cable is MFi-certified, without this, the lightning cable may not be up to spec.
Lightning cables that take the strain
Grittiness mainly comes down to the strain-relief collar where the cable is inserted in the plug. This area of the lightning cable takes the maximum damage. After some time of use, this poorly-shielded connection will break. What is more valuable is the ullu strain-relief leather collar, which prevents bending the cable and tearing the joints apart. The idea of stress relief is to prevent the soldered joints inside the cable from wearing off when you bend the cable or pull it out of the iPhone by clutching the wire instead of the plug. It also guards the joint when you twist the cable too far.
What makes these different from the competition?
The cable gives a premium feel with fast charging feature and high-speed data transmission. Available in 6 colors and 2 different materials - Premium Leather & Hand Colored VT Leather.
Handcrafted genuine leather cable tie organizer (wire tie) is also included with the lightning cable, these are the cables you would like to flaunt. So, what are you waiting for? Showcase your unique personality by owning these Apple accessories at your office/home. Visit ullushop.com now!

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a book and documentatry that I am itching to read and watch. The documentary, starring Oprah Winfrey, tells the incredible story about a poor, uneducated Black woman whose cancer cells were taken without her knowledge or consent. For 60+ years, her cancer cells have been credited with a number of breakthroughs in medicine and cures.
Henrietta's cancer cells has helped saved the lives of millions of people because they were used and are still being used in research and other advancements in medicine. As amazing as all that sounds, we cannot forget that parts of Henrietta's body, like so many other Black Americans years ago, was used to fund and advance the world of medicine without any acknowledgement, consent or monetary compensation. That is until now.
I cannot express to you how good it feels to know that such individuals are now being recognized for their contribution to medicine. Not only that, their living descendants have a BIG say so in how their loved one's cells, body or tissues are being used. Adding to that, the family is rightfully being compensated.
Click here to watch a brief video on the late Henrietta Lacks and her incredible story.
Until next time…

Chesterfield manager Paul Cook spoke after watching his side draw 0-0 at Coventry City's chilly Ricoh Arena in their final game of 2014.Coming just two days after the Proact Stadium victory over Peterborough United, the Spireites were some distance from their swashbuckling best on their first trip to the ground.
However, the clean sheet and point earned caps a solid Christmas programme and Cook expressed his pleasure at the result, given the circumstances.
He said: "I was saying to the players in there after the game, it's probably as poorly as we've played in a long time but it's great to come away with a point because we were second best all over the pitch.
"We got all our decisions wrong today, the little things just didn't go right for us.
"We huffed and puffed and it's good to take a point away from home today and I think it was a well-deserved one as it came through hard work and effort."
With his side struggling with injuries and suspensions Cook's squad relied on experience from severeal players returning to the first team fold.
"You must dig in now and again," said the manager. "Sam Hird's not played much football and he's had to play three games in ten days.
"At half time I could have made three or four changes because we weren't great, but what was great today were the 1,600 travelling supporters.
"I'm sure they'll go home happy, a bit disappointed with how we played, but you're always happy when you get a point."
After seven points in three games over the hectic Christmas period, the Spireites have jumped up to seventh on the league table, and the manager continues to have sights set higher.
He said: "You keep going, you don't look forward or look back. Football's a tough game - if we're seventh in the league now we look to improve and be better.
"We're looked upon as a small club but in our minds we're the biggest club in the country."

Based on the experiences of the International Science Programme (ISP) at Uppsala University, Sweden, this article describes and analyses the sandwich (PhD) model, where students from lower income countries spend part of their training at their home university and part at a better resourced university abroad. The model does more than provide scholarships; it includes long-term collaboration and commitment between partners, and improvement of research environments at students' home institutions. By maintaining the connections to the home institutions throughout their training, conducting research of local relevance, and benefiting from enhanced research opportunities, graduates are facilitated to return home and continue their research after graduation.
The International Science Programme (ISP) at Uppsala University provides long-term financial and collegial support to institutionally based research groups and scientific networks in chemistry, mathematics and physics in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
During 2014-2017, 259 PhD students have graduated from 43 ISP supported research groups and networks. This report aims to find out where these graduates go after graduation and if they are contributing to increased competence at their academic institutions or making use of their skills in other sectors or other countries.
In all, 250 out of the 259 PhD graduates where traced with their present whereabouts. In line with previous ISP tracer studies, this study shows that 95% of the PhD graduates are employed in their home countries (89%) and regions (6%). A large majority (94%) is working at universities or research institutes, many holding positions as lecturers or assistant professors. Twelve graduates (5%) are currently working outside their home country and regions, most (83%) at academic institutions in these countries.
Developing capacity for research and higher education takes time, especially in resource scarce environments. Equipping laboratories, building human capacity, and establishing research cultures at teaching oriented universities are complex and slow processes. This book focuses on the long-term cooperation with chemistry and physics research groups at universities in Sri Lanka and Thailand, provided by the International Science Programme (ISP) at Uppsala University, Sweden. It traces and gathers experiences from graduated students and other collaborating partners from supported groups. It addresses questions of if, and how, capacity for research and higher education has developed over the decades of ISP support, and the possible effects, efficiency, sustainability and improvements of it.
The International Science Programme (ISP) at Uppsala University, Sweden, aims to contribute to the growth of scientific knowledge in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The ISP model is designed to prevent brain drain by improving local facilities and conditions for research and by promoting local postgraduate training. When local training is not possible, sandwich postgraduate training is employed, where students spend part of their training at their home university and part at a more resourceful scientific host institution abroad, in the North or in the region.
The focus of this report is PhD graduates from ISP supported research groups and networks during the granting period 2008-2013, to trace where they are today and what they are doing.
Most of the 154 traced PhD graduates (92%) are currently working in their home countries (126) or regions (16), most as Lecturers or Senior Lecturers at universities or research institutes. Twelve graduates are currently living in OECD countries, all but two of them employed in academia. A slightly higher share of students trained locally have stayed in their home countries or relocated within the regions, compared to sandwich students.
Developing new master level education is a complex task. Not only is the competence within the discipline crucial; teaching and as a consequence, learning, must also be research-focused and must aim to encourage the students to develop into independent scholars.
In this collaborative, multi-facetted project Al Baha University, Saudi Arabia, (ABU) and Uppsala University, Sweden, (UU) work jointly to develop ABU into a leading actor in master level education with a corresponding research profile. The schools/departments take their own decisions on design and priorities of the activities. In this way the project profits from the local competencies at both sites and becomes locally situated and thus closer to the needs and expectations of the ABU staff.
The partners entered into collaboration 2011. Among initial achievements was the common identification of the need of a bridging year for tentative master's students, to complement the skills from the undergraduate (UG) level, and reinforce the command of English, which is a necessary tool in international education. In addition, computer science and mathematics were selected as the initial development areas.
Within mathematics, the Department of Mathematics at UU was engaged in a discussion aiming primarily to develop the UG curriculum to match the needs of a future master programme, and secondly to develop the curriculum of a ABU master programme in mathematics to match UU standards, with the possibility in mind of student exchange targeting specific courses and thesis studies.
Meanwhile, in the autumn 2013 a female staff member of ABU was admitted as PhD student in mathematics at UU, and has now started her second semester of full time studies.
Within computer science (CS), the project tackles the significant challenges to encourage students, teachers and the formal university structures to embrace the ideas of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The aim is to promote staff and students to broaden their perspective on what research and investigation means and to critically examine teaching and learning. As a consequence, the ways to relate to the students, the subject area, the teaching and the colleagues must be scrutinised, with the intent of finding new teaching and learning forms.
The project implements these ideas in several ways. Currently a staff development course is given as a starting point for the project within CS. With a focus on the changes needed to implement the ideas of SoTL, the course participants make their own pedagogical development projects, and study their own practice and its outcomes using rigorous research-based methods. As a continuation, during the coming years, the two universities will run a set of workshops, mainly with a methodological focus, followed by a series of three conferences, with the first one serving the local area, and the last being an internationally recognised Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) sponsored conference.
In this paper we review several approaches to mathematical modeling of simple batterycells and develop these ideas further with emphasis on charge recovery and the responsebehavior of batteries to given external load. We focus on models which use few param-eters and basic battery data, rather than detailed reaction and material characteristicsof a specific battery cell chemistry, starting with the coupled ODE linear dynamics ofthe kinetic battery model. We show that a related system of PDE with Robin typeboundary conditions arises in the limiting regime of a spatial kinetic battery model,and provide a new probabilistic representation of the solution in terms of Brownianmotion with drift reflected at the boundaries on both sides of a finite interval. Tocompare linear and nonlinear dynamics in kinetic and stochastic battery models westudy Markov chains with states representing available and remaining capacities of thebattery. A natural scaling limit leads to a class of nonlinear ODE, which can be solvedexplicitly and compared with the capacities obtained for the linear models. To indicatethe potential use of the modeling we discuss briefly comparison of discharge profilesand effects on battery performance.
In this work we present and discuss a modelling framework for the basic discharge process which occurs in simple electrochemical battery cells. The main purpose is to provide a setting for analyzing delivered capacity, battery life expectancy and other measures of performance. This includes a number of deterministic and stochastic variations of kinetic battery models. The primary tool is a novel phase plane analysis of the balance of nominal and theoretical capacity. In particular, we study spatial versions of such models which lead to a linear diffusion equation with Robin type boundary conditions under scaling. Explicit solutions are obtained by considering reflected Brownian motion.
The International Science Programme (ISP) at Uppsala University, Sweden, is devoted to long-term support to institutional capacity building in research and higher education in developing countries, with focus on the basic sciences: physics (since 1961), chemistry (since 1970), and mathematics (since 2002). Both research groups and scientific network activities are supported.
Interdisciplinary and applied research is important in solving a number of challenges facing the world today. Problems related to our environment, the needs for energy and food, access to clean water, treatment of diseases, are just a few examples. However, the basic sciences form the pillars on which applied sciences and engineering are built and without a proper scientific base it is difficult to sustain research of an immediate importance to developing countries.
Funding to developing countries for developing research and training in basic sciences is, however, very limited. Furthermore, in many cases the researchers in these countries experience isolation from the scientific community.
Regional and interregional cooperation is one way to help overcome these limitations and generate complementary scientific research activities, give access to advanced equipment, and increase the human capital needed to conduct MSc and PhD programs of a good standard.
The present volume is the result of an international conference highlighting the importance of regional and interregional cooperation for the development of research and higher education in basic sciences in developing countries. A large number of examples are given of fruitful initiatives for scientific collaboration as well as their successful outcomes.
Sericulture was developed in China in ancient times. Antheraea pernyi Guerin-Meneville was domesticated at least 2,000 yr ago, and Chinese farmers developed artificial rearing of A. pernyi before the 17th century. Today, > 60,000 tons of cocoons are produced in China each year, which accounts for 90% of the world production. Despite the widespread utilization of A. pernyi in China and a long history of domestic research, the knowledge of A. pernyi outside China is limited. Therefore, we have in this paper summarized the production, usage, and breeding of A. pernyi. The foremost usage of A. pernyi is as silk producers; however, about 55-70% is used for other purposes. In this paper, we give examples of how the different developmental stages are used as a food source for human consumption and in traditional Chinese medicine, both directly in different preparations and also as a nutrient source for rearing medicinal fungi.
On the 1st of September, 1961, an international fellowship programme started at theInstitute of Physics, Uppsala University. Fifteen fellows from 14 developing countrieswere invited to spend one academic year in Sweden to be trained in research work. Theprogramme was at that time called the International Seminar for Research and Educationin Physics. Today, 40 years later, the programme has developed from a fellowshipprogramme into a worldwide research project programme, not only in physics but alsoin chemistry, and has given long-term support to the building up of viable researchteams in the Third World. Host laboratories in the northern hemisphere, mainly inSweden but also in other countries, cooperate with the research groups in the ThirdWorld. The programme changed its name in 1987 to the International Science Programme.The programme has been financially supported by the Swedish Government throughits agencies for aid to developing countries. Uppsala University, UNESCO and IAEAhave also contributed.The development of the programme is described. In his introduction the Vice Chancellorof Uppsala University points out the importance for the entire university to beengaged in cooperation with the Third World. Ideas about the future of the programmeare presented. Some of the research groups in the Third World have been engaged in theprogramme for nearly twenty years. Their experience is presented in a number of shortarticles.
We investigate the behaviour of the recently proposed shear-dependent turbulent length-scale in the neutrally stratified surface layer. It is found that close to ground, this shear-dependent length-scale is proportional to height, and thus, equivalent to the law of the wall. We speculate that the law of the wall could be just a special case of applying the shear-length to near-surface flows.
ISP provides long‐term support to Research Groups and Scientific Networks. The work is carried out in close cooperation with research groups at more advanced host institutions. Although Uppsala University is the base of the operation, ISP functions as an international program and host laboratories may be at other Swedish universities, in other Nordic and European countries, and in the regions. This is to meet the requests from developing countries on their own terms. ISP also handles other research programs, organised by Sida.
In 2010, 28 Research Groups were supported in 10 African and 4 Asian countries; 5 groups in Kenya, 4 in Sri Lanka, 3 each in Laos and Zimbabwe, 2 each in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, and Malawi, and 1 each in Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal and Zambia. In addition, 15 regional Scientific Networks were supported, 12 in Africa, 2 in Asia, and 1 in Latin America.
A total of 117 PhD students (12% of which were female) were active in ISP‐supported research groups and scientific networks in 2010, of which 57% on a sandwich basis. During the year, 25 students graduated on the PhD level, about half of them participating in sandwich programs. The number Master students were 232, of which 26% were female and 10% participated in sandwich programs.
Regarding dissemination of scientific findings in 2010 it can be noted that most (66%) of the in total 83 publications in international scientific journals were in high ranking journals listed with ISI impact factors. International publications clearly dominated over publication in regional (15) and national (2) journals. In addition, 18 contributions were made in the form of books, chapters, popular publications andtechnical reports.

In 2011, ISP provided support to 31 research groups and 14 regional networks. The supported groups are located in ten countries in Asia and Africa; Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Laos, Mali, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Supported regional networks are coordinated from countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Groups and networks together utilized about 19 million SEK.
A total of 185 PhD students (24% of which were female) were active in ISP-supported research groups and scientific networks in 2011, of which 54% on a sandwich basis. During the year, 19 students graduated on the PhD level, about a third of them participating in sandwich programs. The number Master students was 319, of which 27% were female, and 12% participated in sandwich programs. Of the 96 graduating, only 1 participated on a sandwich basis.
Regarding dissemination of scientific findings in 2011 it can be noted that 44% of the in total 148 publications in international scientific journals were in high-ranking journals listed with ISI impact factors. In addition, 23 contributions were made in the form of books, chapters, popular publications and technical reports. Furthermore, 183 contributions were made to scientific conferences, 41% at the international, 33% at the regional, and 26% at the national level, and 42 scientific events were arranged.
The International Science Programme (ISP) at Uppsala University, Sweden, since 1961 has been devoted to long-term support for building capacity in scientific research and higher education in developing countries in the Basic sciences. An increased domestic capacity for research and higher education in the Basic sciences has a long-term impact on development. In the larger perspective support to the Basic sciences is generally low or neglected, despite their importance for sustaining applied sciences and quality science education. Regional and interregional cooperation may be a fruitful approach to overcome many constraints, adding value to participating scientists and their institutions. Therefore, ISP support to regional collaboration and the formation of scientific networks was initiated already in the early 1980s. Currently, nine chemistry networks are supported, in the fields of analytical chemistry, biotechnology, environmental chemistry, natural products chemistry, and technical and analytical support and training. The activities carried out by the networks are diverse. For support to networks to continue in the future the demands will increase to demonstrate benefits, added value, achievements, impacts, and sustainability.
ISP provides long-term support for the development of active and sustainable research environments within these basic sciences in developing countries. The support is directed to research groups and regional networks. The work is carried out in close cooperation with research groups at more advanced host institutions. Although Uppsala Univ. is the base of the operation, ISP functions as a national programme and host laboratories may be located at other Swedish universities, in other Nordic and European countries, and in the regions. This is to meet the requests from developing countries on their own terms.
ISP support includes equipment, spare parts consumables, technical services, literature, computer hard- and software, and all costs associated with participating in meetings, exchange visits, training, etc. Besides what has been achieved in terms of development and maintenance of resources, contacts, etc., the outcome of ISP support in 2008 can be summarized by the following figures (assuming that one € equals 10 SEK):

For each MEUR spent (assuming that one EUR equals 10 SEK) the outcome was:
Faced with limited resources, scientists from around the world enter into collaborations to join their resources to conduct research. Like everywhere else, international co-publishing in southern African countries is increasingly on the rise. The aim of this study was to document and analyse the level of scientific productivity, collaboration patterns, scientists' experiences and attitudes towards South-South and South-North collaboration. We performed 105 interviews with scientists based at five southern African Universities, namely; University of Malawi-Chancellor College, National University of Science and Technology, the University of Botswana, the University of Zambia, and the University of Zimbabwe. We also traced 192 scientists from the various departments at these universities that had jointly published 623 scientific papers in the field of basic sciences in the period 1995-2014 in Web of Science journals. Our results show that in the majority of the cases funding from the North contributed substantially to increased scientific productivity, and international co-authorship. The results also show that collaboration with southern scientists is equally valued as that with northern scientists, but for different reasons. We conclude that supporting international and national collaboration which includes increased scientific mobility, strong scientific groups and networks, are key factors for capacity building of research in southern African Universities.

What is a Connectivity Health Check?
Telecoms can be a complex challenge for organisations which don't have the in-house knowledge and expertise to ensure they have the right systems and infrastructure in place.
A Connectivity Health Check is a thorough, in-depth review of your entire telecoms infrastructure, from hardware, software and applications through to users, contracts and locations, providing a better understanding of where your network is performing well, where improvements are needed and where savings can be made to improve overall efficiency across your whole organisation.
Align your telecoms with your business goals
Hidden costs and inefficient services can be clearly identified by carrying out an in-depth Health-Check of your current telecoms infrastructure, assets and contracts and benchmarking this against your business objectives. From this we can give you a fuller understanding of which elements are under-performing, slowing your organisation down and costing you money.
Future-proof your network
Technology changes all the time and new innovations are coming to market on a regular basis. A Connectivity Health Check will not only help you to identify any weak links within your existing technology, but also recommend new solutions to ensure your system is taking advantage of the latest developments and is always streamlined, so you can plan with confidence.

How much it Cost to Write a BookWhat does it cost to write a book?
Infographical: Costs of self-publishing your book
"What should I plan? "And your only financial cost is to format the necessary mobile data that can be done for free through several on-line utilities. Well, if you want a shot at sellin' this book, you need to repeat at least some of the footsteps of conventional editing and guarantee a certain degree of excellence and sophistication.
That means that you have correctly processed, set and proof-read your book and need to hire a professional artist to make an eye-catching book for you. These can cost more or less, according to the type and literacy. It' not possible to say: "Self-publishing your book will cost you $X." However, it is possible to find averages for the various stages involved in making a book: editorial, layout and composition.
Firstly, it comes from quotations that are swapped on the Reedsy market place. Reedsy's speciality is that we are curating our curatorial lists of professionals, writers, designers and compositors. Her quotations obviously mirror her professionality, an important point to note when you read the following dates. In the infographics the mean price and ball park areas were computed on the basis of rough figures from over 2,000 offers shared on the Reedsy-International.
Of course, not all of these quotations were acceptable. Proposals are subdivided according to the way in which they are edited (editorial evaluation, development editorship, proof-reading) and the number of words. Then, we plotted a straight -line correlation on the thousand of datapoints to calculate a "price per word" for these different service types.
We have taken into account both a basic e-book front page only and a paper back one. Most of our book back book covers are designed in a way that they add a surcharge to the paper back covers, but some do both for the same cost.
All quotations were taken into account for the interiors, from the basic e-book format of a plain novel to the sophisticated designs and composition of cookery textbooks and couch-tables. You can see that an editing evaluation is on averages half as costly as an editing of the script in terms of development policy. Before I go into this in more detail, however, we have defined both on Reedsy: "An editing evaluation assesses major topics such as characterisation, story line, texture and styles using a seperate paper - like a very detailed, highly detailed text.
In order to work on your documents during development, the editors work with you, so that they can point out problems at line by line as well as the large images mentioned. Briefly, the major distinction is that the editors make (or suggest) the major changes directly in your manuscripts, section by section, instead of creating an "edit letter".
" That is much more time-consuming and therefore more costly. What is the point of asking for an editorship review first? When you receive a review paper and rewrite your script from your editor's commentary, you will eliminate most of the major image problems in your work. That doesn't mean that you don't need to develop properly afterwards, but because your script is in such good form that later editing is much cheaper.
Your text will be reviewed and any inconsistencies in language, pronunciation, grammar, spelling and pronunciation will be addressed. So if you hire the same editors for both proof-reading and proof-reading your manuscripts, you can cut a great deal of your budget, but also miss the real point of review. Proof-reading should be a last inspection of your script by another couple of skilled experts to detect any errors that may have occurred in the preceding workings.
700 may seem high to some writers as the mean cost of book art, so I'll try to try to figure out why it's not. Prices rose from $200 to $2,000. This large variance means that only a few upper end quotations can strongly influence the mean value.
Well, why would some design-ers want $200 and others $2,000? Then because there are several ways to make a sleeve. Of course, customer-specific, hand-drawn artwork or even numerical painting is much more costly than the handling of clichés. Usually, a designer starts by creating a few different covers so that you can choose a "direction" for them.
When it comes to author price setting, there are no regulations or standard for writers, copywriters and typographers. The majority of writers and design professionals out there just calculate what they think is right and what works for them. Fayet is one of the creators of Reedsy, an on-line market place that connects writers with top writers, graphic artists, ghost writers and journalists.

Before the first frost last fall, I rescued a few tiny Bells of Ireland plants that had self-seeded in my garden, along with several other plants. The Bells of Ireland survived, and even bloomed in my window at home. Though not as tall and stately as the typical flowers, it's still nice seeing a bit o' the green indoors.

We have this uppity Cuban nigger at work that seems to think he's not a nigger. He works in admissions and he's always saying he's 100% Cuban. He says that with great pride too. Last night an 83 year old woman was in the ER because she had fainted. This was an old southern lady and was 100% a nigger maniac. Needless to say I liked her. So Hector the Cuban nigger comes to get her insurance info.
It was obvious she wasn't happy seeing him but she answered his questions, though very curtly. Hector looks like any bootlip nigger from the hood but he has the Cuban accent. So finally the lady says " what are you supposed to be anyway"? Hector replies proudly that he's 100% Cuban. Then the lady says " is that so? Well you could sing O Danny boy with an Irish accent. You're still nothing but a nigger". Hector just quickly walked away. I nearly died laughing! I love old niggermaniacs. They say whatever they think.

When I was eleven years old the writing Gods opened the heavens, the sky rained idioms and I was saturated with words. I stood in the downpour with my arms in the air, letting myself become soaked in their beauty and I was drenched in a freshly watered passion. The seeds of creativity took root and steadily began to grow. The garden of ideas was a portrait of spectral beauty and has continued to blossom in my imagination.
Perhaps I didn't realize the depth of that passion until I was old enough to understand the true gift of being able to express myself from somewhere deep within my mind. At that tender age of eleven I began writing silly poems, at least I thought they were silly, but the words just wouldn't stop. I began carrying a notebook everywhere and would jot down each idea as it came to me. During slumber parties with the girls, they would all sit in a circle on the floor giggling about the boys, and I would be in a comfy chair writing poems about them. Eventually I just stopped going to the parties because their incessant giggling was too distracting. We were twelve, I don't think I missed much.
Teenage angst and unrequited love only fueled the creative fires when I reached high school. What teenage girl doesn't write reams of hopeless thoughts about boys, loves lost to the mean girls and the ones that got away? My pubescent phase was a match made in heaven for the endless stream of sorrow filled words that tripped over themselves to be freed. I still read some of those old scribblings and am transported back to those ugly braces and bad 80's haircuts, but I still can remember exactly how I felt when I wrote those words.
I lost that passion for a while. Perhaps it was losing myself in a bad relationship, or perhaps it was just life in general that drained my will to create, but during that period I felt empty. The voices that used to tell me their stories had fallen silent and I was alone with nothing more than my reality. When the fog eventually lifted, I began writing my novel a few years ago, but it didn't access all of voices that had been quelled. It felt constrictive in a way because it followed one idea, and so it sat and the characters became idle once again.
This blog has helped to lift those voices into song and I am able to hear those choirs and the beautiful harmony they have been waiting to share. I even feel compelled to write poetry again which I have not done in a long time. The book now has new life being breathed into it and characters that were once cryogenically frozen in the tundra of my muted brain are now becoming reanimated. Perhaps they too feel the freedom to speak their mind because they are no longer in the spotlight. They have the will to move in and out of my consciousness and speak when they feel compelled to say something. We are dating again, getting to know each other which is sometimes awkward because there are currently three of them and one of me, but the conversation is never boring. We will continue our ritual dance of the double entendres and I will wait for the day that they are able to pick up the tab.
