Saga by definition means, a long story of heroic achievement or, a long story full of incidents. This story is definitely the latter, no heroics to be found I assure you.

After getting to sample eats (get the sausage pizza and PBJ sliders!) and drinks at the revamped Last Drop at The Hermosa Inn, we just had to get to know the resort's Spirit Guide Travis Nass. (In addition to divine cocktails, the new menu boasts amazing and innovative floats as well as as a selection of refreshing mocktails.) Nass says…
Have you always had a love for the culinary arts?
Since I was a kid, I loved cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. I started my career in the kitchen in college, but it was clear from the beginning that my love for people and my love for culinary creativity was best met behind the bar.
Tell us about the new Last Drop.
We've taken Last Drop from a boutique cocktail program to a casual chic dining option, set aside Lon's fine-dining. Chef Pacheco has gotten creative with the food menu to include offerings such as foie gras, PBJ sliders and wood-fired pizzas and that allows me to get creative with pairings – be it floats and mocktails to classic cocktails and drinks I create on the spot. The casual couches, daily happy hour and live entertainment also bring a new vibe to Last Drop that is really refreshing and appeals to a much broader audience.
What is one cocktail everyone should know how to make?
Probably the most important cocktail nowadays is a sour, if not only for its versatility. Two parts spirit to one part lemon or lime juice and one part simple syrup. With gin or vodka, it is a gimlet; with rum, it is a daiquiri; whiskey, scotch, and brandy are your standard sours; and all are delicious. But if you are doing a sour with a liqueur, I would do two parts liqueur to one part lemon or lime juice.
What is the difference between mixology and bartending?
A great mixologist knows how to curate and create a great cocktail list. A good bartender knows how to make a good drink, makes guests happy, works well with volume, makes employees/employers happy, keeps the work environment clean and organized, is a salesman, a psychologist, a teacher and a friend. I think you can't be successful unless you are both.
Where does your inspiration stem from?
Antique cocktail books, boutique spirits, and local seasonal produce.
Midnight snack: Chartreuse gummy bears.
Pizza topping: Duck confit.
Breakfast cereal: Sugar Smacks in a White Russian.
Valley restaurant: Rancho Pinot. Duh.
Culinary travel destination: New York. Nowhere else in the world can you visit so many amazing cocktail bars in such a small area!

So, last week our neighbor dropped off a huge bag of the little Mexican limes and tangerines.
Now, the Mexican limes I know what to do with … but tangerines?
I hadn't even tried one of these little things recently. They're like tiny oranges with a little bit more tart than sweet. They're very juicy though and they peel quickly, but I'd imagine you'd need about 6 of these to make 1 good-sized orange for calories. They're that tiny.
So, I had a big bowl of these things and was trying to figure out what to do with them. Juice them? Make a big batch of tangerine margaritas? Hmmm …
I decided I would design a recipe around tangerines and chicken.
Here are the ingredients I used – feel free to add/modify/delete to your own wishes:
- 1/2 an onion sliced
- juice of about 20 tiny tangerines
- 2 chicken breasts
- salt
- black pepper
- rosemary
- olive oil
So, I put the onion slices in the bottom and added the chicken breasts over them – after putting a little salt and pepper on both sides. Then, I added the juice of all the tangerines and put some tangerine slices on each piece of chicken. I added a drizzle of olive oil and lots of rosemary. I found a few carrots in the frig and tossed them on too.
As you may have guessed, I'm a slightly ad-hoc cook having learned from my Mom how to match the flavors and use up what's leftover and threatening to go bad or look ugly before it has to be tossed out and well, waste not, want not and all that. It's just good kitchen economics.
I baked it with the lid off for about 40 minutes and it was great!
To round out the colors, however, I sauteed the spinach that was waiting in the refrigerator with a little olive oil and placed the chicken over it. It made for much better colors as the other way looked way too orange.
The flavor was definitely citris-y and was great with the chicken. There was a lot of juice and I didn't put it over rice or anything to soak up the juice, so you might try something carb-based if you'd like to enjoy the au jus.
Recommended modifications:
- Try putting the chicken over quinoa or rice (if you can have rice, many of us cannot)
- Try switching the rosemary for thyme – I think that might be a nice option too

Jenny Hammond Primary School
The Jenny Hammond Primary School is a small, multicultural community school situated in the southern part of Waltham Forest. Our school comprises children and adults of different faiths and cultures who work happily together.
Our school is mainly housed in a Victorian building and is surrounded by houses of a similar age. We are a one-form entry school for boys and girls from the age of 4-11. Our school roll is 210; our standard class size is 30. There is one class for each age group from Reception to Year 6. However, in September 2010 and then again in September 2011 we took an additional 30 children and so have two classes currently in Year 1 and Year 2 taking our roll to 270. This was to accommodate the growing need for primary school places across the borough due to the increase in birth rate and people moving in to Waltham Forest. We cater for each individual child within the appropriate aged class and practise a child-centred philosophy. Children are organised to work in small groups, individually or as members of the whole class depending on the activity.
At The Jenny Hammond Primary School, we see education as an ongoing process and one that is very much a partnership between school and home. We feel proud to have the exciting task of joining with you in your child's development.
The most important people at The Jenny Hammond Primary School are the children. We look forward to receiving your support and to working with you to help your child realise their full potential.

ArrhythmiasThe system that was developed by the research group, detects arrhythmias in the atrium of a rat's heart and subsequently sends a signal to an LED positioned near the heart. The flash of light from the LED then ensures that the heart itself generates an electric current that then halts the arrhythmia. This has been made possible by the addition of certain light-sensitive proteins in the heart using gene therapy. This causes the heart to return automatically to the good rhythm, according to research leader Daniël Pijnappels from the department of Cardiology of the LUMC.
René Poelma, researcher at the Microelectronics department at the TU Delft, developed, together with professor Kouchi Zhang, the implantable LED lamp. Resetting the heart muscle requires, among other things, a very high light intensity of the correct wavelength, but there is only little space in the body. That is why a miniaturised LED lamp was developed that, once implanted, can spread the light with a sufficient intensity across a relatively large surface area. The research is a good example of how the combination of medical and technological knowledge and cooperation can lead to innovation.
CardioversionAccording to the researchers this can potentially lead to a great improvement in treatment, compared to the current method that is used to halt arrhythmias. Arrhythmia is one of the most common rhythm disturbance. The current treatment, also called cardioversion, is based on the application of an electric shock that, because of the pain, has to be applied under anaesthetic at the hospital. For many patients this is the only treatment that is effective at halting the arrhythmia, because medication or an operation are not successful.
The bio-electronic defibrillator can halt arrhythmias without an electric shock. In this way the heart can be reset at any moment, fully automatically. We expect that this treatment of arrhythmia will improve both the quality of life, as well as the prognosis of the patient. The researchers emphasise that much research is still necessary before a usable treatment becomes available. However, that the possibility exists has, according to the researchers, now been demonstrated. The research has been published here.

To Get The Job Done
How to Keep Weeds Out of Your Lake Mathews Garden This SummerNothing is more annoying than working hard to keep your garden and yard looking awesome, only to get invaded by unwanted weeds. Whacking and pulling unwanted weeds by hand is backbreaking work that can take many hours to complete. What's worse, just when you think you have resolved the problem, the weeds reappear. These tenacious pests are resistant by nature, so in spite of your best efforts, they often find a way to sprout up again and again. There are other methods you can try to clear invasive plants from your yard, but not every form of weed control is created equal. Here are some tips on choosing the treatment methods that are right for your lawn or garden:
Spray unwanted weeds AwayFor weed issues that are not too severe, you should be able to find a helpful weed killer product wherever you typically buy your gardening supplies. The most common synthetic chemical weed killers come in the form of sprays. It's important that you consult a store associate before choosing a kill product that is weed. Some products can be harmful to other plants, native animal life, or pets so you will want to be careful not to introduce these products into your yard.
Hire a Professional in Lake MathewsYou might consider hiring a professional weed control service if you're dealing with a substantial weed problem in your yard. A reputable weed control company in Lake Mathews has access to a number of broad leaf weed control treatments and other products that you won't find at your local hardware store. After hiring a professional, you may want to discuss creating a fertilization plan for your lawn as well. A flourishing lawn is better able to defend itself from aggressive plants. Dandelions and other unwanted weeds simply aren't able to finish with grass that has thicker, healthier roots.
Soil SterilizationSoil sterilization is an intriguing technique of purifying soil of weeds, fungus and insects. The process includes heating the soil to a very high temperature, essentially killing off any seeds, insect eggs, and other undesirable elements. This technique is employed in large-scale farming by the utilization of UV rays, or in some cases, a slash and burn technique. However, you can practice soil sterilization at home on a much smaller level. Potting soil can be heated in an oven or microwave prior to being used for planting. This will ensure that any pests present in the soil, including weed seeds, will be neutralized giving your plants the best possible chance to thrive.
Weed Prevention is the Best MedicineLastly, you can help prevent unwanted weeds from sprouting up by adding ground cover in strategic areas of your garden. Before you start planting in a area that is new consider adding a layer of landscaping fabric below your topsoil. Cut a hole in the fabric for each plant that allows them ample room to grow. Garden fabric shall prevent weed seeds hiding in your soil from germinating. Other options for ground cover include mulch and wood chips. When laid generously around plants and shrubs, they help prevent weeds from growing with the added benefit of adding some interest to your garden's aesthetic.

Weed control is the application of EPA-approved chemicals to kill existing weeds and to prevent new weed growth.

United States District Court, D. New Mexico
May 9, 2018
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Plaintiff,v.DAVID LUNA-GOMEZ, Aka Sergio Sauzameda, Defendant.
March 21, 2018, Defendant David Luna-Gomez
("Defendant") filed an Amended Motion for Order
Compelling Specific Discovery (ECF No. 71). The Court, having
considered the amended motion, briefs, arguments, and
applicable law, concludes that Defendant's request to
order the Government to preserve the law enforcement reports
and notes of the interview of co-Defendant Elizabeth
Ordonez-Ochoa will be granted, but the motion will otherwise
be denied.
On May
20, 2016, Senior United States District Judge James A. Parker
authorized the interception of wire and electronic
communications over a phone number ("Romero Phone
4"). After that interception ceased, Judge Parker
issued another order authorizing the interception of wire and
electronic communications over another phone number
("Luna-Gomez Phone 1") for a period of 30 days.
federal grand jury returned a three-count indictment charging
Defendant Luna-Gomez with two counts: (1) conspiracy to
distribute 50 grams and more of methamphetamine from on or
about May 23, 2015, and continuing to on or about December
19, 2016; (2) conspiracy to distribute 1 kilogram and more of
heroin from on or about June 1, 2016, and continuing to on or
about June 22, 2016. In Count 2, the Government charges that
Defendant Luna-Gomez conspired with co-Defendants Emigdio
Villanueva, Olivia Ceniceros-Favela, and Elizabeth
Ordonez-Ochoa. Count 3 additionally charges Ms. Ordonez-Ochoa
and Ms. Ceniceros-Favela with possession with intent to
distribute 1 kilogram and more of heroin on June 22, 2016.
Government asserts that it has disclosed all applications,
affidavits in support thereof, and orders regarding the wire
and electronic interceptions to Defendants. Defendant
acknowledges the Government has disclosed "a
significant amount of discovery." Def.'s Mot. 2,
ECF No. 71. Defendant Luna-Gomez nonetheless filed a motion
seeking four specific items of discovery he had not received
to which he claims he is entitled: (1) all reports on Ms.
Ordonez-Ochoa's June 22, 2016 arrest for the charged
crimes; (2) all interview reports and law enforcement notes
regarding Ms. Ordonez-Ochoa; (3) the audio recording of Ms.
Ordonez-Ochoa's interview; and (4) the GPS Search Warrant
regarding Mr. Luna-Gomez's Phone 1. In support of his
request, Defendant Luna-Gomez provided a partial Drug
Enforcement Administration investigative report containing
the following information from the interview with Ms.
[Ms. Ordonez-Ochoa] stated that she was recruited by a person
named Carlos Omar Cervantes-Hernandez. Ordonez stated that
this was the seventh occasion she had transported heroin and
was going to deliver the heroin to a person [in] Albuquerque,
NM. Ordonez stated that she has delivered to
"Emilio" on 3 occasions along with Carlos Omar.
Ordonez stated that [she] also delivered to
"Emilio" by herself twice. Ordonez stated that
she has delivered to an unk[n]own male called "El
Viejon" by herself once. Ordonez stated that she had
also delivered heroin to Albuquerque on three different
occasions by herself with the instruction of Carlos Omar
Cervantes-Hernandez. Ordonez stated that she and her husband
live next to Carlos Omar Cervantes-Hernandez in Juarez,
Ex. A, ECF No. 74-1. According to Defendant, the report
contains exculpatory material because Ms. Ordonez-Ochoa did
not identify Mr. Luna-Gomez as a person to whom she had
allegedly delivered drugs in Albuquerque prior to her arrest,
nor did she identify Mr. Luna-Gomez as a person she had met
in the past. Because the contents of the report relate to
Count 2 in which he is charged, Defendant Luna-Gomez argues
that the report and interview are items material to his
defense and subject to Rule 16 and Brady disclosure.
Government asserts that it is unaware of any audio recording
of the post-arrest interview of Ms. Ordonez-Ochoa. It also
states that it moved to unseal the warrant affidavit for the
Luna-Gomez Phone 1 and, after the Court granted the motion,
disclosed it, so only Defendant's first and second
requests remain at issue. The Government argues that neither
the law enforcement reports nor the notes are discoverable
under Rule 16 or Brady/Giglio.
Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(a)(1)(E) provides that the
government must disclose to the defendant, upon his request,
papers and documents, "if the item is within the
government's possession, custody, or control and: (i) the
item is material to preparing the defense; (ii) the
government intends to use the item in its case-in-chief at
trial; or (iii) the item was obtained from or belongs to the
defendant." Fed. R. Crim. P. 16(a)(1)(E). The term
"defense" means a defendant's response to the
prosecution's case-in-chief, i.e., an argument
that refutes the government's claims that the defendant
committed the crime charged. United States v.
Armstrong, 517 U.S. 456, 462 (1996).
defendant must make a prima facie showing of materiality
before he is entitled to obtain Rule 16 discovery. United
States v. Mandel, 914 F.2d 1215, 1219 (9th Cir. 1990).
"Neither a general description of the information
sought nor conclusory allegations of materiality suffice; a
defendant must present facts which would tend to show that
the Government is in possession of information helpful to the
defense." Id. To show materiality under Rule
16(a)(1)(E), the evidence must "play an important role
in uncovering admissible evidence, aiding witness
preparation, corroborating testimony, or assisting
impeachment or rebuttal." United States v.
Lloyd, 992 F.2d 348, 351 (D.C. Cir. 1993). This
materiality requirement is not a heavy burden; rather,
evidence is material as long as there is a strong indication
it would enable the defendant to significantly alter the
quantum of proof in his favor. United States v.
Graham, 83 F.3d 1466, 1474 (D.C. Cir. 1996).
16(a)(2) limits the scope of discoverable materials:
"this rule does not authorize the discovery or
inspection of reports, memoranda, or other internal
government documents made by an attorney for the government
or other government agent in connection with investigating or
prosecuting the case." Fed. R. Crim. P. 16(a)(2). The
Supreme Court has described Rule 16(a)(2) as protecting
"Government work product in connection with [the]
case." Armstrong, 517 U.S. at 463. Rule
16(a)(2) also clarifies that Rule 16 does not authorize the
disclosure of statements made by prospective witnesses,
except as provided in 18 U.S.C. § 3500, the Jencks Act.
The Jencks Act requires the United States to disclose to the
defendant the statements of its witnesses after the witness
has testified on direct examination at trial, but the term
"statement" is limited to written statements made
by the witness and signed or otherwise adopted or approved by
her, or to recordings or substantially verbatim recitals of
the witness's oral statements and recorded
contemporaneously with the making of such oral statement.
See 18 U.S.C. § 3500(a), (b), (e).
Supreme Court held in Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S.
83, 87 (1963), "that the suppression by the prosecution
of evidence favorable to an accused upon request violates due
process where the evidence is material either to guilt or to
punishment, irrespective of the good faith or bad faith of
the prosecution." The "touchstone of materiality
is a 'reasonable probability' of a different
result, " which exists "when the government's
evidentiary suppression 'undermines confidence in the
outcome of the trial.'" Trammell v.
McKune, 485 F.3d 546, 551 (10th Cir. 2007) (quoting
Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419, 434 (1995)).
Impeachment evidence affecting a witness's credibility
falls under Brady when the reliability of a given

Rebel WBBL|03
WBBL|03 on track to break records
This season of the Rebel WBBL is set to be the biggest yet
12 January 2018, 12:43 PM AEST
The Rebel WBBL is on track for another hugely successful summer as the third edition of the competition passes the halfway mark.
WBBL|03 got off to a thrilling start in a record-breaking opening weekend at North Sydney Oval, with nearly 9,000 fans attending four matches across two days at the venue.
The opening weekend proved just as popular with TV audiences who tuned in to the coverage on Network Ten's primary channel with the first day average audience of 350,500 representing a 46.6% increase on the season average for WBBL|02.
Since then, more than 65,000 fans have turned out to watch the world's best Twenty20 players face off across 32 matches compared to 52,949 at the same point in the season last year, representing a 24% increase, whilst Network Ten's coverage is averaging 284,000 viewers per match, up on 276,000 this time last season.
Cricket Australia's revolutionary digital partnership with Mamamia has been instrumental in ensuring this year's tournament reaches new audiences, with Mamamia carrying all 47 of Cricket Australia's streamed WBBL matches this season, complementing the 12 matches broadcast on Network Ten.
At the halfway mark of WBBL|03, Cricket Australia's live stream has already delivered more than double the number of total streams viewed throughout the entire WBBL|02 season whilst over a million more minutes have been viewed compared to the second edition of the competition.
On field, the Sydney Thunder sits a game clear on top of the ladder, with four teams sitting two points behind on equal points in what looms as a thrilling race to the finish with just four semi-final spots up for grabs.
Following Ashleigh Gardner's sensational record-breaking century during the opening weekend, Sydney Sixers captain Ellyse Perry leads the way with the bat having scored 370 runs from just eight matches and is on track to better Meg Lanning's record of 502 runs in WBBL|02. Sixers teammate Dane van Niekerk leads the competition in the bowling stakes having claimed 16 wickets including just the third hat-trick in WBBL history.
The boundaries have also been flowing, with a total of 854 fours and 118 sixes being hit compared to 1293 fours and 159 sixes at the completion of WBBL|02.
Now in its third season, the WBBL has taken further strides toward becoming the best women's sporting competition in the world, entertaining fans and inspiring young boys and girls to take up the sport, says Head of Big Bash, Kim McConnie.
"Following on from the opening weekend it's amazing to see the public continue to support the WBBL and the players have certainly responded on the field; they've definitely taken their game to the next level again this season.
"We've seen so many young boys and girls coming through the gates to watch their role models in action and with more opportunities for women and girls to get involved in cricket than ever before it's a really exciting time.
"The success of the season thus far is a credit to efforts of the clubs, broadcasters, venues and Cricket Australia who all played crucial roles in making this competition one of the best women's leagues in the world."

Vincent Malloy is seven years old,He's always polite and does what he's told.For a boy his age he's considerate and nice,But he wants to be just like Vincent Price.He doesn't mind living with his sister, dog and cats,Though he'd rather share a home with spiders and bats.There he could reflect on the horrors he's invented,And wander dark hallways alone and tormented. Narrated By Vincent Price
25 gedachten over "Vincent (Short Film) By Tim Burton/ Narrated:Vincent Price"
(1(Collin's loyal Fire Spirit loyal to Collin — GO)1) —
I <3 Tim Burton
This boy is schizophrenic, I'm telling you, SCHIZOPHRENIC! Either that or doctors would consider him depressed, confused, or suffers from an identity crisis. Seriously though, I love Vincent Price! Why did he have to die… We miss you Vincent!
Tim Burton's art style is just fantastic, and who doesn't love Vincent Price.
…or he is a normal kid with lots of interesting imaginations.
Vincent Price= Genius
Vincent Price will never die. Like so few before him, he found the true secret to immortality.
That secret lies in the hearts and minds of the fans that did, and continue to love him.
He had the only voice that could send a chill down my spine and warmth through my heart.
That is so true.
what is the raven from edgar allan poe that is quoted at the end?
that's one of edgar's works
It's from Edgar Allen Poe's poem, titled The Raven.
It's tells of a widower who wishes once more to see his beloved Lenore, but, quoth the raven, "Nevermore."
Vincent Price is awesome!
This short film it's my favorite! i can watch it hundred times… there's a lot of art in there.
This short film it's my favorite! i can watch it hundred times… there's a lot of art in there.
This short film it's my favorite! i can watch it hundred times… there's a lot of art in there.
More Vincent Price
Delightful film. But Vincent Price dies in 1973. I'm wondering when this film was made?
Vincent Price died in 1993 not 1973
@womanatwittsend It was made in the 1981 and SugarDaddy was right it was 1993 and I should know he's a great actor 🙂
What's the flute song in the beginning called, again? I keep forgetting.
tim burton is Genius!
Simply amazing. Edgar Allen Poe, Tim Burton and Vincent Price? Best combination 🙂

Chris Soules is busy on his farm in Iowa these days. Despite trying to find love on The Bachelor, Soules had to walk away from the experience with a broken heart and with no lady on his arm. Whitney Bischoff did attempt to live on the farm to make it work, but something went wrong between them, and Chris has been working on his farm ever since. And he may have been shocked when he learned that Becca Tilley wanted to pursue Ben Higgins on the new season of The Bachelor.
According to a new tweet, Chris Soules is now reacting publicly to the news that Becca decided to go on the newest season of The Bachelor. And it sounds like he finds it just as awkward as many of the viewers.
"Anyone else wondering what Chris Soules must be thinking about Becca and Ben?? #TheBachelor," one Bachelor viewer wrote on Twitter, tagging Chris in the tweet. He replied with, "It's a little weird watching ur ex date one of ur buddies, but there's a 1st time 4 everything! I wish them the best."
#TheBachelor REALIZED THAT BECCA AND BEN MARRIED OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME CHAPEL WHERE RACHEL AND ROSS GOT MARRIED???????? pic.twitter.com/ATARziMfQO
— grayson moon (@gmun2000) January 26, 2016
Of course, Soules and Ben Higgins are buddies as he points out in his tweet. And surely, Ben may have talked to Chris before pursuing a relationship with Becca — just in case she showed up. But Chris doesn't seem to mind too much. He politely avoided the comments that Becca made on The Bachelor when Ben asked her about her decision to come back.
"Yeah it's very different. I care so much more at this point than I did last season," Becca told Ben when he asked about her return, according to Buddy TV, adding, "I became so closed off to even letting Chris get to know me because if he got to know me then maybe he could hurt me. I feel like coming into it this time, it's so worth the risk of that happening because I think the outcome could be something really, really great."
It sounds like Becca is slamming Chris Soules a bit, hinting that her heart wasn't in it the previous season, even though she stuck around until the proposal. Soules appeared very ready to propose to her, and one can imagine that he didn't want to propose to her if he felt that she wasn't invested in the relationship. Tilley quickly shut down any potential conversation at the final proposal and Soules ended up proposing to Whitney Bischoff.

Since then, Chris Soules has tried to get back into the groove of being a farmer in Iowa, and it sounds like many people adore him for his efforts in his state. Plus, Soules is thrilled to be living close to his family members and his nieces. Over the past couple of weeks, he's posted many pictures of his nieces and he pointed out that his nieces are like his own children, since he doesn't have any.
"When you're single and don't have kids, your nieces become your kids," Chris recently revealed on social media according to Buddy TV, hinting that he is ready to start his own family with a new woman, adding later, "Yep. I'm looking for love again."
But this time he won't be using The Bachelor or Chris Harrison to find love, according to Buddy TV. In fact, it sounds like Soules is open to whatever comes his way. But Harrison did have a suggestion for him, which he shared on Twitter.
"I recommend being flexible on the whole 'move to Iowa' thing this time around!"
What do you think of Chris Soules being ready for love again? Would you move to Iowa to be with him? And do you think Becca Tilley should have shown more respect to Chris when she told Ben Higgins about her experiences on The Bachelor?

I am participating in the 2018 A to Z Blogging Challenge. If you'd like to check out other bloggers, you can do so here. Also, be sure to follow #AtoZChallenge on Twitter.
I once rescued a bat in distress. It happened about five years ago when I was walking my dog and stepped over what I thought was a dark brown leaf. But then the leaf's head moved.
It was August and very hot, and my heart just went out to the poor thing. I phoned a local bat rescue and although the woman at the helm was willing to take the bat, she couldn't come out because she had to keep a 24/7-eye on a batch of baby bats. I managed to move the injured bat into a shoebox and transport it about forty-five minutes away to this woman, who lived in a house full of bats and cats. Even her license plates on her car read BATRESQ.
I learned the bat I'd rescued was approximately a two-year-old female Big Brown with a shoulder injury. I found out all kind of other tidbits about bats, such as bats eat their body weight in insects every night (lucky for us around here, since we're swimming in mosquitoes). Also, it is a myth that bats readily carry disease. Only 1/10th of 1 percent of bats are rabid. Essentially, these guys are great for the environment.
If you want to learn more about bats or bat rescues, THIS is a great site.
Ever since that day, I've been obsessed with these critters. I have bat shirts and jewelry, and I recently acquired my favorite purse from Goodgoth.com.
What are your feelings about bats?

What do you get when you combine bacon and chocolate chip cookies? The best sweet and salty treat on the planet!
*This post may contain affiliate links. You can read more about my disclosures policy here*
Every so often I get an intense craving for salty and sweet. Can I get an amen? I know I'm not the only one who dips pretzels in Nutella or who puts mini chocolate chips in my popcorn or who's experimented with chocolate covered potato chips. Don't give me that look! I know you know what I'm talking about!
So when I realized we had a few strips of bacon left and some chocolate chips in the pantry and I'd been digging through the closet for a salty sweet treat all afternoon I knew. I just knew I had to do it. And these babies were better than I could have possibly dreamed. My only regret about these cookies is that I didn't have enough bacon to make a double batch! These will definitely be going on my regular cookie rotation!
Whenever I get a hankering for chocolate chip cookies I always resort to using my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe from my Mrs. Field's cookie cookbook. The same one I used in my Egg-less Chocolate Chip Cookies. They come out perfect every single time when I use my faaaaavorite cookie scoop. I dunno how people who love cookies or cupcakes or donut holes live without a cookie scoop in at least 3 different sizes in their kitchen!
I mean come on people. If your mouth isn't watering by now I'm not sure we can be friends. Well, maybe we can be. More cookies for me! These cookies are a delicious sweet and salty surprise. You bite into and you're thinking "mmm chocolate chip cookies" then you hit a piece of bacon and you think "what magic is this?! bacon?!" They're just that good.
Don't believe me? Try them yourself and see how long they last in your house. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 8 strips thick cut bacon, cooked crisp
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
- Place bacon on foil lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Chop/crumble bacon into small pieces and set aside.
- While bacon is cooking combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cream together sugars and butter. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Add in flour mixture and mix well. Then add chocolate chips and mix to combine.
- Fold in chopped bacon with a spatula.
- Drop by rounded tablespoon onto a greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake at 300 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.

Road Transport Mobility, aviation comptetion and maritime waste, discussed at the Transport EU Council
The legislative package on mobility in the road transport sector, the progress made in combined transport and clean road transport vehicles and the regulation on safeguarding competition in the air transport sector were discussed at the EU ministerial meeting in Luxembourg, in which Cyprus was represented by the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works Vasiliki Anastasiadou.
More specifically, the EU28 have assessed the progress made on key proposals on mobility in the road transport sector, such as market access and the social aspects of the road transport sector, as well as the new rules on driving and rest times of drivers.
Furthermore, the Council endorsed the General Approach to the proposed Regulation to safeguard competition in the air transport sector, while the 28 also endorsed the general approach to the draft Directive on port reception facilities for ship-generated waste.
With regard to mobility during her intervention, the Minister for Transport stressed that an immediate priority remains to reach an agreement on all the proposals with the aim of improving the conditions of employment and social protection of workers, the proper functioning of the internal market and the protection of the environment.
As the Minister stressed, transparent and functioning rules would enhance the competitiveness of the road transport industry and protect the market from possible fragmentation with adverse effects on the consumer.
In conclusion, the Minister of Transport referred to the importance that Cyprus attaches to the conclusion of a balanced text, taking into account the specificities of each Member State and creating a level playing field for the benefit of European citizens.
Regarding the Regulation on competition in air transport, the Minister stressed that the final regulation should adequately protect Member States from possible adverse effects on their connectivity and ensure their effective participation in the decision-making process.
With regard to the Ship Waste Directive, the Minister of Transport expressed Cypriot support to the proposal, which seeks to achieve a higher level of protection of the marine environment and alignment with the international framework.
It should be noted that during a working lunch, Ministers had the opportunity to exchange views on improving the connectivity between the European Union and the Western Balkans through viable financing mechanisms.
In her intervention, the Minister of Transport expressed Cyprus support for strengthening the connectivity of the Western Balkans, underlining that this would benefit development.
The Minister of Transport also referred to the importance of enhancing the connectivity of the European Union as a whole. In this context, she referred to the challenges faced by isolated Member States with no land borders, stressing that these should be assessed by the European Commission when formulating its proposals for the next financial programming period.
On the sidelines of the Council, the Transport Minister had a meeting with Transport and Mobility Commissioner Violeta Bulc, with whom she discussed issues such as sustainable mobility, air transport and road safety.

How big could it possibly be?
It's big. Like Douglas Adams' description of space, shamelessly copied below.
Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.
Is it going to change the world?
Probably not.
Is it going to cost me money?
Almost definitely. But it's worth it.
Am I going to be abysmally disappointed when you reveal it to be some cheap, tawdry, outdated marketing tactic?
Of course not! It's not cheap at all! Do you have any idea how much these websites cost?
Can't you give me even just a little hint?
No, cause I kinda suck at hints. Just ask my friends.
Stay tuned for the big news on Monday, December 3rd!

He began his political career through communist movement in 1975 from CPN (Fourth Convention) and took the party membership two years later. With Master's Degrees in Political Scienceand Economics, Chhetri began his involvement in student and migrant Nepali workers' organizations while he was in India for studies and work. He became vice-president and general secretary of the All India Nepali Student Association and continued working for the party in India. After the then CPN (Maoist) launched the armed revolution, he worked for it from India. He was the coordinator of the International Solidarity Forum, the organization formed to support the armed revolution in Nepal. He became the central member of CPN (Maoist) in 2001 but was jailed for 18 months after his arrest in India in 2003. India handed him over to Nepal the very next day he was arrested.

- Get ideas for planning themed activities for toddlers
- Read feedback from a Childminder currently using Boogie Mites
- Try resources from our Annual Themed song collection – FREE
- Register as a childminder to get a 50% discount on Boogie Mites products
As a childminder or parent, finding fun and stimulating ways to entertain a child in early years can be difficult. At Boogie Mites, we find that planning activities for toddlers around a theme can be a fun learning experience for all of those involved. Our themed songs can contribute a musical element and extend activities into further themes; requiring only props that you can find around the home. These themes can support their development of knowledge and understanding of the world.
For example, Boogie Mites song How Do We Know That The Wind Blows. The song alone is a 3-minute activity. But the wind is a fascinating topic that can be explored all day long through various activities for toddlers, both inside and out of the home!
Boogie Mites' tips for extending the song with themed activities for toddlers
- Choose a windy day and go for a listening-walk. Identify the sound that the wind makes in the leaves and observe how your hair blows.
- If it is autumn you can play catching leaves as they fall in the wind.
- Put up a washing line in the garden and do some washing of teddies and fabrics. Hang them out to dry on the line and check later to see if the wind has dried them.
- Make a flag using fabric which can be attached to a stick and put the flag outside to check which direction the wind is blowing. With older children, you can use a compass to check the direction of the wind.
- Read a story about a windy day such as Pooh Bears Rather Blustery Day (Happy Winds Day Piglet!). See YouTube video of the story here.
- Look at a picture of a windmill/ wind turbines and see if you can get hold of or make something similar. Baker Ross provides kits –here is an example.
Childminder Feedback
Childminder Danielle enjoyed a windy-weather themed day in April with her children in Portsmouth. She gave us this feedback:
"Today we had children aged from 18 months to three years old. We had a go at the April song 'That's How We Know That The Wind Blows'. We were out in the garden and had our scarves, which was great. I played the video on my laptop, but very quickly we had all picked up the words to the song, which has a lovely gentle tempo and is easy to learn. The children enjoyed the kite part. They were all engaged and listening all the way through. We will definitely continue to use the resource in our setting. It's great to be able to extend our repertoire and to link into the seasons."
Boogie Mites original themed songs cover subjects that inspire their curiosity and excite their imagination.
Topics include:
- Dinosaurs
- Pirates
- Farm Animals
- Jungles
- Minibeasts
- Life under the sea
- Fairy-tales
- Around the world
And more!

7 ways to write with confidence – guest post at Ingram Spark
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Rewriting, The writing business, Writer basics 101 on March 15, 2019
Some books never get out of the writer's mind and onto the page … and when IngramSpark heard about my new workbook, they thought I might have some advice. Voila, 7 essential points for writing with confidence, which you can see over at their blog. Actually, I didn't expect to be in your inbox again so quickly after the previous post, but launch times always get a bit frenetic.
Actually #2…
Special offer!
This extra post also lets me share a sudden, mad offer. This weekend, in honour of the Bookbrunch Selfie Awards, I'm having a flash sale for my novel Lifeform Three – which a few years ago had a nibble at a very prestigious award (I've never been able to tell the story before, but you can find it here). For this weekend, the Kindle edition of Lifeform Three is just 99c. Grab it now!
How to keep in touch with your book when your writing routine is disrupted
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book on December 11, 2018
I'd planned a post about self-editing. But then I thought – really, Roz? This close to the holidays, who cares?
Indeed, it's more likely that the seasonal ding-dong is turning your routine downside up. If that's merry and welcome, great.
But some of us (including me) get panicky about losing touch with our work.
This post is for you.
Don't fight it
Resolve to do smaller sessions on your book. To stave off anxiety about your slower progress:
1 Figure out how much time you can regularly set aside, realistically.
2 Make a schedule.
If you do this, you're in control. You're making a plan you can stick to. Goodwill henceforth.
How to think small
Here are ways to think smaller while still making progress.
1 If you use wordcount targets, reduce them, obvs – then surprise yourself when your concentration lets you exceed it.
1.5 Or turn the limited time into a challenge. Use it as a chance to try a new approach – if you're a slow and careful drafter, see what happens if you write fast, hell for leather, as a deliberate experiment. Sometimes, busting our habits can make us unexpectedly spontaneous and creative. Nobody need see the results if they're bad. But you might just find you're soaring.
2 Make a list of small but important tasks. We all have niggly stuff that we postpone. Consistency about character names, the plot timeline, pieces of research to check later. For me it's place descriptions – I don't have the mental space for them while I'm in the flow of characters and action. It's great to have time to sort this out properly and not worry about anything else. Make a list of small tasks you can do in short bursts of time.
Embrace the break – and prepare for a smart restart
Or – accept that you'll let your book doze for the period. And prepare for a calm and bright restart.
1 Make handover notes. The 2018 you to the 2019 you. What issues were you were working on? What was the next thing you were going to check, revise or fix? What new idea were you going to try?
1.5 Worried that you'll forget why an idea seemed perfect? Here's how to write down story ideas and remember why they were brilliant.
2 Annotate the manuscript with comments. I'm doing this with my own manuscript. Where I have an idea for a sequence of dialogue or a nuance, I write a comment at the appropriate point in the Word doc – eg 'I want this to echo what xxx expressed earlier', or 'make sure I haven't repeated this'.
3 Kick up your heels. Read greedily, anything that tickles your mistletoe. As I wrote in this post recently, my own reading tends to be constricted by my work, like a strict diet. But if I'm not worried about skewing my WIP's tone and style, I read … anything I like the look of… like a normal booklover. It's no bad thing to rejoin the normal world once in a while.
Speaking of which, here's what I'm working on at the moment (my newsletter)
One last thing. The writer in the family often has a seasonal duty at this time of year. Yes, the Christmas letter. If you have to write one of these, here are some tips.
Do you have strategies for juggling holidays and writing? Let me know in the comments!
Wishing you a very merry and refreshing whatnot. See you in 2019 – or earlier if I get the sudden urge to tell you something.

5 qualities of a brilliant story
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book, Inspirations Scrapbook on January 29, 2017
I write a lot of posts about problems with book drafts. But isn't it just as important to look at the positive? If we listed the qualities of a brilliant read, what would they be? (Plus, I think we need a feelgood post.)
So, as I sit here on Sunday morning in London with an hour to get this post out of my head and into the grey matter of the blogosphere, this is the list I've come up with. I hope you'll storm your brains and join in at the end.
Here goes.
Deft use of details
A writer needs to give a lot of details to evoke the setting, time period (if it's not contemporary), distinguishing features of the characters, points about the weather. A skilful storyteller will smuggle a lot of these in as part of the action. A historical period might be evoked by showing a character cleaning their teeth, or lifting their skirts away from the horse manure on the city roads. If we need to know a character is left handed, we might see them borrowing a friend's PC and clearing the clutter off the desk to rearrange the mouse before they start to use it. Weather might be evoked by a character worrying that the rain will ruin their suede boots on a day when it's important to look smart. We'll never get the sense that the narrative is marking time in order to explain something.
Characters that are real
We hear this phrase a lot, but what does it mean? The characters will seem to have their own agendas, and good reasons for everything they do. They won't seem like puppets for the plot. Their emotions will spur them to act so we feel everything they do is genuine and believable. They'll have distinctive ways of thinking and expressing themselves. Even if they are conflicted or make bad choices and decisions, they'll have ways of justifying what they do. They might have interesting blind spots about how the other characters feel.
Never a dull moment
Every scene will move the action on. There will be a sense of trouble building and escalating. The characters' plans will never quite work out as they're supposed to, and every scene will finish on a slightly unexpected note. Whenever the characters get something they want or need, it won't be in the way anyone could predict.
Fresh until the end
The writer will know when to change to a different group of characters, which we'll welcome. At the same time we'll be eager to see those other characters again soon. They'll know when to vary the mood with some humour or a more serious note. They'll deploy some major turning points at just the point where we think you know where it's going.
It all adds up
The story might begin by resembling an unraveled sweater with threads going everywhere, but slowly it will converge into a shape. The ending will seem to be inevitable, yet it will be a surprise. Or, if we can anticipate the ending's events, we won't be able to predict how we'll feel about them.

Avoid this plotting pitfall when writing drafts at speed
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book on May 22, 2016
Husband Dave and I have recently been watching the Showtime series Ray Donovan. And sometimes, we're finding the storytelling is rather uneven.
Interesting developments pop up that seem to promise a new and unexpected direction for the plot. Instead, though, they're defused and then the main story trots along again, pretty much unaffected.
Here's an example. Ray is a hired troubleshooter for the rich and famous, and has a few skeletons in the closet. In the first season he's pursued by an FBI agent of formidable reputation; we're told he always gets his man. This seems to be setting up a potent adversary. But then the writers then did their best to hustle him out of the story.
First they made him into a figure of fun by spiking his coffee with LSD. Then he's shot by one of the characters. It's clear the writers didn't want to let him cause big trouble, so they got rid of him. (And in case you're wondering, the shooting doesn't seem to have had any consequences either.)
This seems to happen a lot in the Ray Donovan scripts. Interesting obstacles pop up that promise a swerve into a more serious gear. But they're neutralised, and in a way that looks rushed or unbelievable.
For the audience, it's terribly frustrating. If a serious problem arises, we want to see it cause lasting trouble. And we want it to have serious, unpredictable consequences. We don't want it to be solved, and for everything to continue as before.
Tunnel vision
Last week I talked about rookie plotting errors, and this was one of them. Tunnel vision; not giving brilliant plot ideas enough development. No of course I'm not suggesting the Ray Donovan writers are rookies. But there's another characteristic reason that this problem arises – when writing to a deadline. When a daily quota must be filled. And when the writer has to fit an overall outline.
In TV, a writer probably doesn't have much leeway to alter the master series arc. They have to fit the show runner's mission. But if you're writing a novel, you're the master. If you've made an outline, you can change it, even if you're rattling the words out against a deadline.
Here's a plan to examine a show-stopping idea without losing control.
- Acknowledge – stop and look that idea firmly in the eye. Might it upset your plans? A sure sign is if you're already looking for a way to stifle its effects. Take a moment and let it breathe.
- Assess the consequences. Step away from your outline. Open a new file or Evernote tab or grab a pen. Make a what-if list – if you incorporated this development fully into the story, what would the consequences be? Explore them in this safe space.
- Run the comparisons. Make another list. In one column write the reasons to change. Perhaps a character's motivation would be stronger. The setting might be used more effectively. In another, write the reasons not to. It might cause inconvenience – perhaps you'd have to rethink earlier passages. (Might that be so bad?) It might take the story into territory you're not interested in or would be off genre. (That's a stronger reason not to.) Be honest. Sit and mull.
- If you decide to keep the idea, adapt your outline – and sail onwards with a more robust story.
Thanks for the pic, Pixabay. Discreet cough… There are a lot more tips on outlining and on making the most of plot developments in the Nail Your Novel books.
Another discreet cough… if you're interested in ghost-writing, my course starts its live period tomorrow. The course will be available after that period as well, but for the next four weeks, you get to take part in a secret online forum and I'll be holding live Q&A sessions where you can pick my brains. Learn more here.
Back to plots etc. Do you write using an outline or a daily quota? Do you find this sometimes hampers your creativity, or you feel you can't use an off-the-cuff idea? Or do you have a method for harnessing these brainwaves and making the most of them?

Managing your data center can be an expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive endeavor. But with the right tools, it doesn't have to be hard.
System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) was designed to address the challenges of managing a software-defined infrastructure. It is one of the most effective and comprehensive tools available for managing Hyper-V but it may not be the right choice for organizations looking for a more efficient way to implement, configure and manage their Hyper-V environment.
Here are a few examples that illustrate why you should consider 5nine Cloud Manager as a cost-effective, time-saving and easy-to-implement alternative for Hyper-V management:
#1. Service and Interface
SCVMM requires the use of multiple screens and separate GUIs for Virtual Machine management, backup, security and monitoring. It complicates the process by having administrators install and configure several System Center agents on the managed hypervisor to perform various functions. This approach to VM management reduces IT productivity and increases time-to-value.
The 5nine Alternative: As opposed to SCVMM, 5nine Cloud Manager offers a single-pane-of glass management, monitoring and security console that is easy to install and configure. Our lightweight GUI operates on any Windows computer from any location, even remote. By implementing a simple backup and monitoring functionality, admins can easily monitor parent and guest partitions, view tenants and perform failover clustering. Additionally, 5nine Cloud Manager offers a combination of the capabilities found within the built-in Hyper-V and SCVMM consoles, making it possible to effectively manage the configuration of virtual and physical servers.
The Bottom Line: Microsoft's System Center and Operations Manager come with numerous components, each with their own unique consoles and, at times, user interfaces. Why use multiple solutions to manage your data center when you can use a single, cost-effective access point?
#2: Backup and Replication
SCVMM does not provide native backup or recovery capabilities such as Hyper-V replica. It must be integrated with System Center Data Protection Manager (SCDPM) that deploys file and system backups to disks, Azure or tape. SCVMM allows reusing VM templates, but only for a VM's configuration state and not for the data it contains.
The 5nine Alternative: To ensure high system availability without having to purchase third-party solutions, try running 5nine Cloud Manager's full, incremental or scheduled backups right from its console. All you need to do is copy your VM to the site of your choice. The software determines what hosts are suitable for replications and maps them to similar jobs you performed in the past. It then syncs changes to speed up replication. You can also restore VMs to their previous state, even if they have been modified since the last time a backup service was performed.
5nine Cloud Manager introduces several new features to our industry-leading Hyper-V monitoring, alerting and replication engine. These features include real-time, customizable email alerts for backup jobs, explanation tabs for managing replication settings and the ability to perform replication failure testing – all from a single access point.
The Bottom Line: SCVMM's lack of built-in backup and recovery capabilities forces administrators to manage virtual resources and machines from multiple consoles. This reduces worker productivity and increases the risk of downtime and data loss. 5nine Cloud Manager eliminates the learning curve associated with managing additional software and drastically reduces the cost of infrastructure.
#3: Role-Based Access Control
If you want to create a scenario where specific users have different level access to VMs, you will need to define roles and assign permissions to ensure that only authorized parties can make changes to the system. While VMM 2019 supports 5 types of roles to which you can assign users, in some cases, its access granularity is limited and provides too little or too much control.
The 5nine Alternative: 5nine Cloud Manager prevents costly errors by ensuring a clear separation of duties and by giving you complete control over who can access VMs, hosts and tenants. You can define access on a tenant-by-tenant basis and decide which resources can be viewed and what operations can be performed. With 5nine Cloud Manager, you can also determine the level of customization for each role and leverage user-friendly remote management capabilities without having to rely on VPNs or purchase additional remote network access solutions.
The Bottom Line: If you wish to restrict network access based on the roles of individual users within your organization, you should be able to provide them with granular options. While VMM does offer a number of user roles to manage administrative tasks, not all of its permissions can perform administrative actions that are unique to your business. 5nine Cloud Manager's tenant portal allows you to specify the level of granularity for each user role and access type, so you can rest assure that the right people have the right access to different parts of your infrastructure.
#4: Total Cost of Ownership
Microsoft's standard pricing model requires customers to purchase System Center licenses or subscribe to Operations Management Suite to obtain SCVMM, even if that is the only component they need. System Center 2016, for example, can cost thousands of dollars for unlimited VMs per host while the Operations Management Suite uses a monthly per node subscription. Additionally, System Center comes with compatibility limitations found in outdated, but still usable, versions such as Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 hypervisors from SC 2016 VMM.
The 5nine Alternative: 5nine Cloud Manager can be purchased as a standalone solution or in conjunction with our Cloud Security and Cloud Migration products. The average cost of a 1-year 5nine Cloud Manager license (16 cores/ 2 CPUs) can be as low as $749. Our solution requires minimal components and fewer resources when compared to similar offerings, reducing hard costs by at least 50% and positively impacting time spent managing your virtual infrastructure.
The Bottom Line: Microsoft's System Center and Operations Manager come supplied with a large library of components, but common practice shows that many of these features are not used on a consistent basis in an average enterprise or datacenter. Why pay for additional features that you may never use or need?
This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of differences between 5nine Manager Datacenter and SCVMM, nor is it meant to give the impression that SCVMM is not a comprehensive and powerful suite of components that is a good fit for some use cases. The truth is, however, that not every enterprise or datacenter needs such a comprehensive suite of components or the overhead associated with them.

My Tel Aviv post
The Dead Sea
You must go to the Dead Sea if you are visiting Israel. Though most of the locals (i.e. David and his family) told me it was boring and not worth it, I disagree and think anyone visiting the country would enjoy the beautiful drive. It is the lowest point on earth and the water is so salty that you cannot help but float. As you walk out into the water from the beach you will find yourself levitating up and the only comfortable position is to lie on your back, otherwise your legs lift up and you end up face planting in the water. We just took a drive to the Dead Sea from Tel Aviv for a day trip, so I don't have much to tell you, other than to show you the pictures of the beautiful scenery from the drive and at the sea.

What to Watch When Broadcom Reports Earnings
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) is reporting its fiscal first-quarter earnings results after the markets close on Thursday. The consensus estimates call for $5.23 in earnings per share (EPS) and $5.82 billion in revenue. In the same period of last year, it said it had $5.12 in EPS and $5.33 billion in revenue.
This stock has not kept pace with the broad markets in 2019, despite being a figurehead in the tech sector, much less semiconductors. Broadcom has underperformed the markets, with its stock up nearly 7% year to date. In the past 52 weeks, the stock is up about 3%.
Top Wall Street analysts like Broadcom's leadership in mobile, data center and broadband markets, and especially in the radio frequency arena. Many on Wall Street see a cyclical rebound in industrial and communications demand, and Jefferies said this:
After being one of the best-performing stocks over the previous three years, Broadcom declined by 22% peak-to-trough in 2018, as its blocked bid for QUALCOMM and recent acquisition of CA technologies caused uncertainty about the company's strategic direction. The analyst likes the CA acquisition and believes the software capability will give the company the opportunity to sell chips and software directly to Fortune 500 companies, and position them as more strategic suppliers.
A few other analysts weighed in on Broadcom ahead of the report:
- Cowen has a Market Perform rating with a $280 price target.
- Piper Jaffray has an Overweight rating with a $310 price target.
- Morgan Stanley has an Equal Weight rating and a $261 target.
- B. Riley has a Buy rating with a $310 price target.
- Jefferies has a Buy rating too, with a $314 price target.
Shares of Broadcom were last seen trading at $270.89, in a 52-week range of $197.46 to $286.63. The stock consensus price target is $293.23.

New Capacity design analysis type replaces the current Member capacity design. The new analysis is capable of code-check joints in seismic areas all around the world because it provides a high-level customization. The Dissipative item operation is added in which members or plates with applied overstrength factor are selected. Also, the strain-hardening factor can be customized. The occurrence of a plastic hinge can be analyzed and proofed. Capacity design analysis is provided for all available codes (EN, AISC, CISC, AS, SP).
SLS check of cross-section local deformation for hollow members.
The Russian steel design code SP 16 for steel-to-steel joints was implemented. Components bolts, preloaded bolts and welds are checked according to SP 16 including detailing. Detailing check for bolts was implemented too.
Steel grades, bolt grades, and typical Russian steel cross-sections are now listed in the library.
Stiffener can be added automatically to welded cross-sections too. The stiffener itself changes its dimensions according to the smaller flange now.
Welding of hollow section members on each other (by means of bounding box method). Even different thicknesses can be welded together.
Mitre cut for stiffening members – stiffening member can be cut and welded on both sides in one mitre cut manufacturing operation.
Hollow member cut by a plate – for the gusset plates, the true contour is cut into the hollow member now.
A lot of effort was put to improve BIM workflows, towards better detection of the welds. In the version 10.0, welds longitudinal to the beam are imported correctly in frame joints.
The BIM link with SAP2000 was updated so that the current version of SAP2000 21.0 is fully supported now.
Steel member is a brand-new application which takes the Component-based finite element method from IDEA StatiCa Connection and applies it on a bigger scale – to whole parts of a structure: members, columns and frames.
The application is aiming to analyze the beam buckling and lateral-torsional buckling phenomena considering the real influence of the end and intermediate joints. Engineers will perform the basic beam stability analysis in FEA applications still in a way that they are used to. IDEA StatiCa Steel Member will allow a more precise analysis of atypical or complicated members.
IDEA StatiCa 10.0 brings a BETA version of IDEA StatiCa Steel Member for structural analysis and design of bar members (beams, columns, diagonals, etc.) to demonstrate the calculation possibilities. BETA version is not publicly available, but if you are interested to receive a BETA testing pack (a tutorial, an explanatory video and a feedback form), contact us at email@example.com
