Number 2 – the best booties! They are so comfortable and easy to dress up or down. Every time I wear them I get so many compliments.

Greek Country Bread
4 cups plain flour
1 tbs (2 x 12gram sachets) dried yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp milk
1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs honey
1 cup warm water
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Form a well in the center of the dried mixed ingredients and add wet ingredients.
- Using a wooden spoon, blend the mixture well then use your hands and bring it together to form the dough.
- Place the dough onto flour dusted surface and kneed until the dough is smooth and pliable – anywhere from 10-15 mins.
- Grease a bowl with brushed in olive oil and place the dough inside and cover with a damp tea towel. Now place in a warm dark place for 45-60 mins or until the dough has risen (about twice its original size).
- Take the risen dough and place onto flour-dusted surface and knead for a few minutes until the dough has returned to its original size.
- Shape the dough into a oval ball and put it on a baking tray which has been brushed with olive oil to prevent the bread from sticking, then slash the top of the bread with a sharp knife.
- Place a damp towel over the baking tray with the dough in it and let it rise for another half an hour in a dark warm place.
- Once it has risen you can sprinkle some milk or olive oil on the top of the dough to prevent burning then place the bread tray in a preheated oven of 200 degrees Celsius until cooked – usually an hour but you can check with a cake tester which needs to come out clean when put through the middle of the bread.
Please note: this bread is denser than most bread and doesn't last as long as the commercial breads made with preservatives.
Make sure you purchase sustainable and environmentally sourced ingredients and support your local businesses too.

Hotel trading growth is set to flatten in the year ahead due to economic uncertainty, weak business travel demand and an influx of new rooms scheduled to open across the country.
The analysis, from PwC's Hotels Forecast 2019, found that the outlook for London has levelled out with year-on-year occupancy growth of only 0.1% and a marginal fall of -0.5% forecast for 2019, which will see occupancy levels drop one percentage point to 81% in 2019.
Average Daily Rate (ADR) is forecast to see a marginal uplift over the next year with 0.2% growth for 2018 taking ADR up £1 to 149 and 0.8% for 2019 taking the average rate up another £1 to £150. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth will remain static with 0.3% forecast for both 2018 and 2019, a big contrast to the 4.6% growth in 2017. Overall, RevPAR is expected to remain at £122 for 2018 and 2019.
However, according to research from the global hotels data company STR, a potential 5,000 new rooms could open in London in 2018 with a further 4,300 in 2019. This is on top of the 38,000 rooms added in the previous five years.
Commenting on the latest forecast, Liz Hall, head of hospitality and leisure research at PwC, said:
"2017 was a hard act to follow for hotel trading, in terms of growth and 2018 has been held back by uncertainty, slower economic growth, significant supply additions and reported stuttering business travel. This is despite the weak pound buoying leisure travel, the Royal Wedding and the International Farnborough Air Show effect. However, trading in absolute terms remains extremely high by historic and global standards for London and by 2019 we forecast both ADR and RevPAR to reach new records in nominal terms.
"For a sector heavily reliant on people to deliver its products and services, the shortfall in availability of EU nationals remains a concern for hotels and the weak pound has pushed up the costs of retaining staff and importing goods within the sector.
"Following a number of years of strong revenue growth when there was not the imperative to focus on costs, prudent operators and owners need to adopt a stringent approach to operating costs growth in 2019 to preserve profitability."
Occupancy levels in the regions have been averaging 76% since 2015 and are forecast to remain around this level for the next year but to see a -0.3% decline in 2018 and no growth forecast for 2019.
ADR growth is forecast to slow compared to 2017, with an anticipated 1.3% increase for 2018 taking ADR to £72 and a further 1.2% in 2019 lifting rates to £73. RevPAR is forecast to see a 1% uplift and a further 1.2% in 2019 taking it to £55, up from £54 in 2017.
Total deal volume for 2017 reached £4.9bn, up 34% on the year prior, driven by a series of large portfolio deals. In the first half of 2018 the UK has already seen £3.8bn worth of deal activity, an 80% rise on the first half of 2017. We forecast total deal volume to reach c£6.8bn by the end of the year, a 40% increase on last year and the second highest volume of hotel investment in the UK after record levels of £9.3bn in 2015.
For 2019 deal activity is forecast to slow down with activity to fall by around 34% from 2018 to c£4.5bn.

Springboard graduates
The 2016 graduates of CONNECT's Springboard program include two Mission Valley-based businesses — H2Bid and One Earth Recycling.
CONNECT is an innovation company accelerator in San Diego that creates and scales companies in the technology and life sciences sectors. Springboard is a mentorship program for innovators and entrepreneurs that helps them develop compelling commercialization strategies and prepare for future funding and growth.
In Springboard's 20-year history, graduating companies have gone on to raise over $1.5 billion and employ over 4,000 people. Of the 11 companies that have graduated so far in 2016, five of them have already received funding, including H2Bid.
H2Bid is a business intelligence service that provides vendors and contractors with information on projects and other contract opportunities before an RFP is issued.
One Earth Recycling is another graduate. The company combines recycling and shopping by providing customers with free money from CRV (California Redemption Value) by recycling unwanted materials and convenience by providing recycling services at convenient locations where customers normally shop.
Reno Contracting donates with every Padre home run
Reno Contracting, a commercial contracting business based in Mission Valley, has kicked off a unique fundraiser to support San Diego's hometown heroes and hometown baseball team. In conjunction with Mighty 1090AM/Padres Network, the company is running a season-long campaign to donate $100 to Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station for every home run scored by the Padres during home games.
"Reno Contracting is extremely proud of our long-term relationship with Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station," Matt Reno, founder and CEO of Reno Contracting, said in a press statement. "As a San Diego business, it's important for us to give back to our community and support the incredible military population that lives here. Over the years, we have raised over half a million dollars for the foundation through 18 charity golf tournaments. Every single dollar has made a measurable impact on the lives of our injured veterans. As we root for the Padres this season, we're also rooting for the warriors who have served our nation with great honor."
Founded in 2004, Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station assists four main groups of warriors: the seriously injured just returning home from war; those suffering from post-traumatic stress or traumatic brain injury; those undergoing physical or occupational therapy, and warriors who have been medically retired and remain in the San Diego community. To serve this last group in particular, the foundation operates Freedom Station — a unique 12-unit transitional housing facility that provides injured warriors with the acclimation time, guidance and resources to successfully transition from military service to civilian life.
"The heartfelt generosity of businesses like Reno Contracting is what has allowed us to meet the needs of our warriors for the last 12 years," said Sandy Lehmkuhler, founder and president of Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station. "One year, we found ourselves with a funding shortfall for our annual Home for the Holidays program, which provides wounded, ill, or injured warriors with a free plane ticket home for Christmas. Mr. Reno showed up at Naval Medical Center San Diego and donated the funds needed to make sure every warrior would wake up in his or her own bed on Christmas morning. Just as they do in the military, Matt Reno and his team have demonstrated what it truly means to take care of your own."
For more information on how to donate or volunteer with Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station, visit warriorfoundation.org or renocon.com.
Mission Valley dentist graduates from Kois Center
Dr. Scott Strommer of New Image Dental recently was appointed as a Clinical Instructor of the prestigious Kois Center, a dynamic clinical program contributing the latest education in advanced esthetics, dental implants and restorative dentistry.
Dr. Leslie Strommer is also a recent graduate of the Kois Center.
As a Clinical Instructor with exceptional training in dental implants, biomechanics, comprehensive restorative care, occlusion and TMJ therapy, Dr. Scott was recognized for his outstanding mentorship and leadership in his teaching role at the Center.
"I look forward to taking the time to find out what my patients want and why, and helping put their minds at ease," he said in a press statement. "At New Image Dental, we are a cohesive team, and every patient is heard as they are guided through what to expect of their treatment and dental health."
After traveling to Seattle, Washington over the past several years to earn over 200 hours of continuing education through the nine-course didactic curriculum at the Kois Center, Dr. Scott completed his certification with an intensive written and clinical examination.
He said he is honored to bring the knowledge and experience from graduation as a Clinical Instructor to his training and mentorship of future students and professionals in the industry.

Margaret Atwood has a short story/essay called 'Epaulettes' in which she lampoons the patriarchal competition of war-making and military excess. In it the male characters compete through the elaborate nature of their military uniforms – whose are more colorful, more braided? Which epaulets are wider, hats higher and more resplendent. The expense and attention poured into this foolishness only make the expense and attention and seriousness with which war, military and nationalist allegiance are taken look more foolish.
I thought of this because I am thinking about the magi in their search for a king. They are seeking a king with a fancy uniform with gold braid and a starched hat and legions of troops behind him. They are not seeking an infant born to a teen-aged girl in a stable. They king that they find not a war-making, death-seeking heir into earthly power, as is Herod 'the Great' to whom the men from the east first go. He is a different kind of king.
Many feminist authors use the terminology 'kin-dom' instead of Kingdom with reference to the era ushered in at the birth of Christ. Jesus rejects all that is associated with earthly kingship. In the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus has a confrontation with the Satan, the Adversary, who tempts him with food, and displays of his power, and with all the kingdoms in the world (Mt. 4:1-11). Jesus rejects this power outright. He offers a kin-dom ruled by love, non-violence and the blessing of "anyone who takes no offense at me," (Mt. 11:5) outcasts included.
In Matthew 11, Jesus is on a bit of a rant, first against the people who rebuke him for eating and drinking with outsiders, and then against those who see the things he is doing (restoring sight, hearing, mobility, health and life) yet do not believe. He is quite vitriolic, in fact. But he is also Wisdom, welcoming her children home. He says, "the Son of [Humanity] came eating and drinking and the said, 'look a glutton and a drunkard, friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds" (Mt 11:19) and he invites the weary to unburden themselves and find rest. That's the kind of kin-dom that I seek.

This Week on #Twitter: Social Cheat Sheet, Twitter in 60 Seconds, How to Remove Embarrassing Photos
Need a little weekend reading?
We've compiled our top ten Twitter stories of the week, which includes a social media marketing cheat sheet, a look at what happens in a Twitter minute, how to remove embarrassing photos from social media, the minimum age requirements for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, WhatsApp and more, and a study which reveals which social platforms are favoured by men and women.
Here are our top 10 Twitter stories of the week.
1. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Vine: Social Media Marketing Cheat Sheet
So you want to use social media to market your brand? Sounds like a smart plan. The top sites collectively have billions of people actively using their platforms each and every day, and many of them come armed with credit cards.
2. What Happens in a Twitter Minute?
Did you know that 347,222 tweets are sent each and every minute on Twitter? What if I told you that in just 60 seconds, 108 new accounts are created, 1,458,333 Twitter search engine queries are performed, 4,398 unique site visits are generated, $1,744 is earned in advertising revenue and 700 video links are shared?
3. How to Remove Your Embarrassing Photos From Social Media [INFOGRAPHIC]
You see, the thing about the internet is that it's forever. When something is published online, it's there for keeps. Everybody can look at it. Everybody can comment on it. And everybody can share it. And social media has made this worse.
4. Minimum Age Requirements: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Secret [INFOGRAPHIC]
Way back when, Twitter very clearly stated the minimum age requirement for anyone signing up for a new account on the social network: 13.
5. Men Are From LinkedIn, Google+ & YouTube, Women Are From Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest
Who is more active on social media: men or women? It's an expansive question. 74 percent of internet users use social networking sites, with women (76 percent) having a slight edge over men (72 percent). But when you drill down to a platform-by-platform level, the diversity might surprise you.
6. 9 Ways to Refresh Your Social Media Strategy [INFOGRAPHIC]
How long have you been updating your brand's Twitter profile or Facebook Page? Months? Years? Day in, and day out, things can start to get a little stale. Maybe that's being reflected in your overall engagement rates, customer response and sales. You need to take a step back, re-evaluate and refresh your campaign.
7. Twitter Investing $10 Million in MIT Social Media Research Lab
Twitter will invest $10 million in the recently launched Laboratory for Social Machines at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
8. How Social Media Automation Can Work For Your Business [INFOGRAPHIC]
For brands using platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to market their business and promote their products and services, it's key that at all times they strive to keep the "social" in "social media". That means actually connecting with fans and customers. Otherwise, you're just broadcasting. But while a lot of social media absolutely requires that human touch, some aspects can be automated. Indeed, for the most savvy brands, automating social content can dramatically improve engagement.
9. The ROI of Social Selling [INFOGRAPHIC]
How do you track social media return on investment (ROI)? It's the age-old question, and for many brands calculating exactly what they're getting out of their social media campaigns has proven to be an especially difficult nut to crack.
10. How 5 Brands Are Using Twitter in Latin America [INFOGRAPHIC]
Twitter has revolutionised the way that brands and businesses target, engage and liaise with customers in almost every industry and region around the world, and Latin America is no exception.

Forums › Help & support › External HDD password protection › Reply To: External HDD password protection
Hi Svante,
Thank you so much for the very prompt response. You answered my question on a Saturday… wow! I also appreciate greatly you sharing your expertise and insights with me.
So, it seems that my only option is to encrypt the data on the external hard drive. This brings up another question that I would like to ask you.
I have a backup of some files on that external hard drive; backup occurs once a month. In the above scenario, that backup would be encrypted. Therefore, I'll have to decrypt, do the backup, then encrypt again; am I right?
And by the way, approximately how long it would take to encrypt 300 GB of data; it would take the same amount of time to decrypt?
Best regards,

Residents and staff benefit from accurate, accessible records with geographic information system
REGINA, Esri Canada User Conference – September 26, 2018 – Esri Canada presented the City of Moose Jaw with an Award of Excellence today for its use of geographic information system (GIS) technology to streamline their records, keeping them in line with federal requirements and improving service to the community.
Until recently, the City of Moose Jaw kept infrastructure replacement and repair records, by city block, on recipe cards. Their computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) files formatted for print had no attribute data. The City's Drafting department was creating design plans but there were no as-built drawings on file after 1991, older as-builts were only available on mylar. There were no authoritative infrastructure records.
With the federal government requiring municipalities to give them information about their stock, use and condition of tangible capital assets, the situation had to change. It was the City's Finance department that identified an enterprise GIS as the best solution to improve information management.
"Small cities have to be as efficient as possible with their staff's time and Moose Jaw has proven that smart use of GIS technology can free staff from repetitive tasks, to be much more productive. This is a great example of digital transformation," said Alex Miller, president, Esri Canada.
The City began by attending Esri Canada User Conferences, training with Esri products and testing different applications. The enterprise GIS project was implemented in 2010 as a five-year project and during that time, the City of Moose Jaw developed a fully functional GIS department, providing access to GIS data across city departments: Engineering, Parks & Recreation, Financial Services, Planning & Land Division and Public Works.
Field workers used Esri's Collector for ArcGIS app to update manhole classification, storm and sanitary main maintenance, pothole repairs, sidewalk and post-repair inspections. They tracked sewer flushing and validated infrastructure. ArcGIS was a centralized repository for data collection and storage which dramatically reduced duplication of work. This also allows them to use preexisting content from other GIS professionals, saving a lot of time. The City is in the process of converting drafting plans, as well as water service connections and infrastructure records on recipe cards, into ArcGIS.
"In a very short time, we have seen the return on our investment using ArcGIS. Having public information digitized, assigned locations, and organized in a centralized database, we've improved our ability to locate information and make timely decisions. ArcGIS allows easy access and retrieval of information for manipulation and analysis, which was nearly impossible using paper," says Bret Rowlinson, GIS supervisor for the City of Moose Jaw.
Previously requested paper maps and manually cross-referenced property and tax information are now up to date, readily retrieved, converted into standard form letters and mailed. The public can also access web maps, keeping them informed of City decisions.
With assistance from Esri Canada Professional Services consultants, and using Cityworks PLL, the City is developing a governance strategy for GIS and a plan to keep the data current, which will be used in the issuing of various licensing, building and land permits.

A 'modest' wealth tax! Who defines modest? Somebody probably once said something about new taxes being a Pandora's box. They all start out with the intention of being modest.Well, having been reasonably fully invested for the Obama rally I took some money off the table the day after the election. I added a little back in the day after Christmas last year, but am still in a fairly conservative spot. As for taxes, Trump runs a trillion dollar deficit in the tenth year of an expansion. You can hardly get less fiscally responsible than that. The comparison to Clinton's track record in the 90's would be stunning, if we weren't already stunned. A modest wealth tax that captures assets shielded by foundations and trusts would be a good thing. Increased corporate taxes the same (FedEx doesn't really need a negative effective tax rate). Taxing financial transactions is a lot trickier, and probably less wise.
Last year, 60 Fortune 500 (US) companies avoided paying all (US) federal income tax in 2018 under Trump law (among them Amazon with more than $11B profit).If you've been out of the stock market since, let's say, Trump was elected, I can see why you're so grumpy.
I think the stock market would take a hit if Trump were removed from office. But what would really rattle it would be various Warren and/or Sanders tax proposals getting serious consideration: weath tax, financial transaction tax, increased corp taxes, etc., etc. Speaking of etc's, the 40% 'exit tax' is another amusing one.
But not CGT on private businesses, I hope!Raise the Capital Gains tax, at least on the profits from the sale of shares of companies the taxpayer is an executive officer for. Would close the share buyback loophole.
Show me a headline that claims Trump spoke the truth about something and I'll show you fake news."Trump is lying about the 'new' 'Apple' factory"

ArtOfficial & Llamabeats Present: Adventure Fund - Sticks & Stones
- Artist: Adventure Fund
- Track: Sticks & Stones
- Producer: Ao Logics
- Album: Adventure Fund
Update: The Carlos De Verona-directed visuals for Sticks & Stones has been added.
Thus far in the lead-up to their debut album as Adventure Fund, Llamabeats and ArtOfficial are two-for-two; both lead single I-95 and follow-up Super Powers have garnered over four out of five stars, on average, from our readers. In hopes of turning that winning streak into a hat trick, the ensemble's unleashed Sticks & Stones. A rebuttal to the common adage stating that harsh words can't break bones, this joint sees Ao Logics serving up a laid-back, lightly funky beat as George Spits rattles off lyrics that are guaranteed to leave a mark. Adventure Fund (the Booth-hosted LP) is slated to drop December 2. Watch for this record's official visuals to hit the 'net in the coming week!

Military Costumes
I know the whole Military Costume thing in anime has to do with Japan in World War II. There is a long cultural shadow there. I still think it is interesting. For some reason some of the costumes remind me of Michael Jackson.

Just so you know, I'm pretty sure that's a rendition of Utena Tenjou, the main character of Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's a classic anime/manga series.ReplyDelete

Well, today was the day. I went ahead and strapped the stock down on my bench and wrapped an old towel around the forend. I tied it on with cotton string and made sure it was thoroughly soaked with raw linseed oil. I tried heating it with my hat gun and found that that wasn't cutting it, after about 15min, I could still touch the oiled cloth. So out came the torch and I carefully heated it until it was smoking and very hot.
I applied force and felt it bending, and then hung a 30lb weight on the end of the forend and stripped off the oiled cloth and let it cool for a couple of hours. After I came back I checked it against the action again and unfortunately, no difference.
I guess at this point I can resign to live with it, or I can basically do a duffel cut under the rear barrel band and reattach with epoxy and threaded rod at a slightly different angle so that it has proper bearing at the muzzle.
Well it was worth a go and at least you had a crack at it, your second option may be a course of action as you say you can hide the cut under the barrel band.
Just asking those wood workers would you need a thin spacer in there to take up for the lost material from the cut and reshaping or would the slight loss of length not be an issue in the overall scheme of things. TIA
Taking off about 1/8" of wood from the overall length probably wouldn't affect the stocking up or the nose-cap/front barrel band that I can tell as the front band can slide further down the barrel to compensate.
What would be an issue if I were to make the cut under the rear barrel band is that the barrel band has a small retaining pin in the stock to make sure it doesn't move forward under recoil, so either that pin would need to be moved forward slightly to compensate for the lack of wood or a spacer (small piece of thick walnut veneer would probably work) added in.
Fortunately, if I were to cut it under the rear barrel band, there is no lightening cut in that part of the forend there so I would have plenty of material to reattach the two haves together.
Would it be seen as sacrilege to cut up a complete stock or not so as long as the finished work looks the part and performs properly?
"Would it be seen as sacrilege to cut up a complete stock or not so as long as the finished work looks the part and performs properly?"
IMHO there is no problem here. The rifle is not a museum exhibit, but a piece of machinery that is not functioning correctly. It is thus quite acceptable to refurbish it in such a manner that the proper function is achieved, while avoiding unnecessary falsification.
As to the cut, the wood loss will be nothing like 1/8". More like 1/16", and if you use a fine saw like an Exacto modelmakers blade, or one of those superb Japanese pull-saws (my choice for this kind of work), then the wood loss will be less than 1mm - about 1/32". In other words, the length reduction will be so small as to be unnoticeable. And if, as suggested, a sliver of veneer is required to set the pin to the correct position, then there is no net reduction at all.
This thread on making a duffle-cut repair may be helpful:
Last edited by Patrick Chadwick; 10-10-2018 at 04:53 AM.
Leave it be, what are you going to fix by chopping the front off?
Its not a duffle cut. Youre going to cause other problems by trying to correct the bow and or twist by cutting the forend off. Blade kerf is the least of the problems.
You have to account for the wedge of wood that has to be removed to bring the tip up. The stock will take on a V shape.....it goes on and on.
Its a can of worms, hear me now, believe me later.....
Well, I went ahead and cut the stock, and the end result came out perfectly.
I made sure to take out as little wood as possible with the cut and then trued up the cut ends to make them as square as possible. I went ahead and fabricated a shim, as I realized in addition to the barrel band retaining pin moving, taking a bit of wood off the forend could cause issues with the attachment of a bayonet. I modified the thickness of the shim in order to change the angle and thus where the tip of the stock touches the barrel.
I reattached everything with acraglas and drilled out and installed a several inch length of 1/4-20 threaded rod for strength. I used the barreled action as a jig to hold everything together while the epoxy set up, with a shim under the chamber end of the barrel to make the muzzle end a bit higher so that when reassembled normally the stock will put up pressure on the barrel.
After letting it setup overnight under the heat of a lamp, everything lines up correctly now . I did have to remove a small bit of wood from the inside of the forend on the right side near where the joint was made, and now there is no contact from the action to the muzzle except for at the tip where I probably have 3-4lb of pressure pushing up on the barrel, and its centered.
The joint is barely noticeable and will be hidden under the barrel band anyway:
Now I do have one question, with the rifle set up now, when the nose cap/front barrel band is on the stock it pulls the barrel firmly against the forend and there is no play. Is this how these rifles are designed to be set up or should it be more like a no.4 lee enfield where there is a bit of play in the barrel but it comes to rest against the top of the stock due to the up pressure?
Awesome results! Thanks for sharing. Ive been following this thread and its great to see the happy ending!

Time to see how tea plays a role in another movie. This one is called "Act One," based on the autobiography of playwright Moss Hart who gained fame on Broadway. The movie is interesting for seeing the dedication and effort that art takes but also for how the term "tea party" is being used.
Young playwright wannabe Moss Hart (ably portrayed by a young, handsome, and untanned George Hamilton) had spent four years writing serious dramas, hoping to get one produced on Broadway. But his agent sees that Hart might be better at comedy. He drafts a comedy and sends it to Warren Stone, a big shot Broadway producer who claims interest but never follows through. Meanwhile, a friend brings the play to the attention of George S. Kaufman's agent, who brings it to Kaufman's attention. Hart then begins collaborating with Kaufman on the play for producing on Broadway. They are working in Kaufman's home in his private office on the third floor. All day long they go through the grueling task of trying to be funny (it's harder than you'd think). After awhile, Kaufman's wife invites Hart to join her and George at a "tea party" she is giving later that day.
The year, by the way, is 1929 and Prohibition is in full effect. As such, other avenues are used to obtain alcoholic beverages, so the "tea" at this "tea party" wasn't tea — wink, wink!
A few years back the term "tea party" began being used in a very un-tea party like fashion. Many serious tea folk objected. Some stated that it messed up online searches where the results for "tea party" kept popping up these non-tea items. Some disagreed with the people who were using the term and thought the whole concept of a tea party was forever being tainted (sort of a guilt by association kind of thing). Well, there is some merit in their concerns and yet in some ways those concerns are overdone. Online searches for "tea" and "tea party" pop up all kinds of strange things, not just this one particular usage that's being found objectionable. As for that "guilt by association," if we use the term "tea party" for its legitimate purpose, that will hopefully overshadow any misuse.
As for that movie, I'll excuse the use of "tea party" for their occasion of secretly consuming definitely non-tea beverages. Anyone knowing the situation would not be fooled and actually expect tea in that cup! Another instance of tea in the movies being somewhat educational.

Why Poor FITARA Grades Are a Good Start
You wouldn't think a report card full of Ds and Fs would make anybody happy. And you wouldn't think it would provide an opportunity for repairing an ailing institution.
But the awful grades federal agencies earned in the first round of rankings under the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act may have actually done both.
Those grades, handed out by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, were really bad. But Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas, chairman of the oversight panel's Information Technology Subcommittee, promised those grades wouldn't be used as a club, but as a benchmark. And one chief information officer – one with a batch of Ds and Fs – says so far, members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are keeping that promise.
"All in all, I thought [the members of the committee] signaled a willingness to partner up," Richard McKinney, the Transportation Department's CIO, told the audience at a Tuesday discussion on FITARA implementation hosted by the Association for Federal Information Resources Management. McKinney was one of the CIO who testified at a Nov. 4 hearing about the grades, and the executive branch's way forward. "I think we [CIOs] should take advantage of it. I said at the hearing, and I'll say it again, I approach FITARA like it's our last chance to get this right."
In a Congress where any issue can easily be poisoned by partisan rancor, both McKinney and the David Powner, the Government Accountability Office's director of information technology management issues, made a point of recognizing the bipartisanship that's often missing on the Hill. GAO helped the committee establish the criteria to give the grades, and Powner said, "sometimes you couldn't tell who was in the majority or minority in terms of how they wanted to score [the agencies].
If you were writing a Hollywood script about this scenario, the plot might go like this: Government agencies struggle with IT, Congress passes legislation, Congress uses legislation to measure agencies, agencies get really lousy grades. Wouldn't you write "Congress beats agencies over head with bad grades" next?
That didn't happen, though. None of the Republicans at the hearing – Hurd, Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, or Government Operations Subcommittee Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C. – wanted to use the grades to beat up on agency CIOs like McKinney, or the Obama administration, represented at the hearing by federal CIO Tony Scott.
So two things may be happening here. And if Congress delivers on either – or both – of them, agencies could be really big winners.
The first is true measurement, oversight and support for the principles of FITARA. It's hard to identify anyone in Congress or the executive branch who doesn't like the law now (although the White House initially said it wasn't necessary). That's great. But the Clinger-Cohen Act passed with great fanfare almost 20 years ago; before long, it degenerated into a compliance exercise, then irrelevance. We're still very, very early in the life of this law, but the fast development of a scorecard, and the bipartisan nature of the awarding of the grades, should be a clear signal to agencies that the tenants of FITARA will be the standard by which they'll be measured.
The second thing that might be happening is far bigger than FITARA. If Congress is going to get past its poisonous atmosphere, it will have to do it event by event, relationship by relationship – both within itself and with the executive branch. The terrible FITARA grades offered Republicans many opportunities to talk about poor performance in the Obama administration, but they didn't take the bait, instead focusing on using the grades to understand where agencies are today, so they can hold them accountable for improvement later.
Two subcommittees have jurisdiction on the House side, both under the Oversight Committee: Hurd's information technology panel, and the Government Operations Subcommittee that Meadows chairs. Both of them tell me they have great working relationships with their ranking members, Reps. Robin Kelly and Gerry Connolly respectively; and Connolly praises Meadows for running his committee in a bipartisan manner, including regular consultations about the subcommittee's agenda.
Yes, agreeing on IT oversight is not a large piece of the business that Congress undertakes. But small victories on bipartisanship are better than none, and they'll show members on both sides that getting things done is possible in a divided government. If the leaders at the Office of Management and Budget continue their cooperation and transparency throughout the rest of the Obama administration, perhaps we'll look back on FITARA as not just transformative for information technology, but for getting things done in government as a whole.

Imagine for a moment you were at a family reunion, and you were lucky enough to be that out of town cousin that's really fun but not around much; and you get plopped at the table with all of your COOLEST cousins as they sat and chatted with a close family friend. Ok I know, what the heck am I talking about.
Well I'm glad you asked because I'm talking about….
Fun fun fun fun of course!!! That is exactly what you get each and every time you take the time to tune into to the Danyo & Tita podcast! Now, you guys know me, I am all about all things organic especially when it comes to human interaction; but I digress. Good organic fun and interactions are the foundation for what can only be explained is one of the best damn feel good podcasts I have EVER had the pleasure of spending time to check out! No no really, it's THAT good, and mark my words once you start to follow this podcast, you will quickly recognize it for yourself.
So, let's talk about the team. There is of course Danyo & Tita, Iesha, Dip, and Nate. Watching this team work is nothing short of sitting at a table of relatives and good friends, talking to guests that many of us know and love, covering issues that are currently the buzz in popular culture. Almost feels like a barbershop, or even a family reunion every week.
Alright enough droning let's talk specifics. To do that, I decided to reference an episode that I feel spoke to me the most. That episode is lucky #25! (for those of you that don't know 25 is my favorite number) B U T!!! That is NOT why I chose this as the episode to discuss. This episode was special because it dealt directly with a path, I happen to have a strong understanding of. STOP no I'm not inserting myself into talking about this amazing podcast I'm simply saying Radio Supa's interview hit different! I was ALL IN! I felt like I was just handed a front row seat to the behind the scenes of how this Icon pioneered an entire industry. You're going to need to make your way to episode #25 for the rest.
hehe sorry not sorry…
This episode featured Radio Supa, and they explored his story from beginning to end. What was the most enjoyable, was how smoothly the conversation was able to flow with zero interruptions. This is a massive nod to the production quality of the Danyo & Tita podcast. The questions were well prepared, and every follow up question was contextually sound and relevant keeping me engaged lingering on every word that was coming from the guest. I could easily tell that the team knew their guest! They knew his story, achievements, setbacks, and the like.
The exceptional chemistry continued as the show transitioned away from the interview and more towards the "Shenanigans" of the show. The team is playful, and throughout the show would burn each other, crack jokes, hell even giving the guest shit for not being able to answer trivia questions. It was like watching art move. Out of nowhere I'm in the middle of a game literally SCREAMING the answers at my laptop like BRO YOU KNOW THIS ONE! That's not me when it comes to podcasts, I usually listen, retain, and share, but with Danyo & Tita I am literally listening and talking aloud as if I'm there with them.
Listen to me, FOLLOW THIS SHOW NOW!! This podcast is everything I want in an entertainment podcast. Ugh this is going to sounds super corny but here goes. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll think, and you'll LOVE! The Danyo & Tita Podcast is everything, and I am overly excited to see what they do next.

I have always struggled with snacking in the evenings. I can do great all day with confidence and no temptation and then blow it after dinner. I had been doing better for a while but lately the old habits are creeping back in. I am hoping that by talking about it and sharing what I am going through, it will be easier to stop the behavior.
Logically I know that eating doesn't fix anything but obviously old habits die hard. I'm not really sure why the past couple weeks have been so hard, but I am sure that I don't need to be eating after dinner like I have been. I have 3-4 hours after dinner before bedtime. There is no reason I need to eat. Just about the time I might start getting hungry, it should be time for bed. I don't need energy from food to go to sleep!
Snack Attack 30 Day Challenge
I am starting a 30 day challenge for myself TODAY! And as soon as I decided to do this, the sabotaging thoughts started.
Should I wait until Monday?
Should I wait until tomorrow when my new week with Weight Watchers starts?
Should I wait until after the holiday?
NO! I shouldn't wait for ANY reason. If I waited, it would be giving myself permission to keep overeating. It would be like saying I need to live it up before I start restricting myself. The reality is that this isn't about restriction. This is about getting back to a normal routine. Snacking at night should be the exception, not the rule!
Challenge Details:
- Only one PLANNED snack after dinner
- No eating in front of the TV
- Journal daily (privately or in FaceBook group) about feelings related to snacking
I will post a weekly recap of my daily thoughts from my journal. I hope that by opening myself up, you will also be inspired to work on something that is a real struggle for you. It is scary and somewhat embarrassing for me to admit and share my feelings but it's the only way to face it and be accountable to work through it! At the end of 30 days, the behavior should become a habit!
Day Zero
In my mind, day zero was the day I reached my breaking point. This is the night before I decided to start my Snack Attack 30 Day Challenge. I ate well all day. I had a sensible dinner, and I had a small dessert planned for the evening. I was satisfied and did not need to eat.
In the span of about 45 minutes, I probably ate 15 to 20 points while watching TV. This has always been the hardest area for me. If I am not careful, things can go downhill very quickly! I was reminded of that last night. You would think that once the show was over, I would have stopped snacking. Nope. I stood in the kitchen and ate another snack AND took a snack up to bed with me. I have never eaten in my bedroom until the past few months. I don't know why that started but it is ending today.
The issue last night was stress and tiredness I'm sure. I was feeling stressed about getting something finished for my self-imposed deadline. I was tired from not getting enough sleep the night before, and I didn't run after work like planned because I was so tired. I wasn't consciously thinking about it, but I am sure I was feeling down on myself for not sticking to my running plan.
I truly just ate out of impulse and didn't allow myself to think about it because I knew if I thought about it I would recognize that I shouldn't be doing it. I guess I was using food as a comfort but it doesn't work. I didn't feel any better after I blew all those points on snacking.
It would have been better if I had curled up and cuddled with my husband, wrote in a journal, flipped through a magazine, or ANYTHING other than eating mindlessly! It's like the eating takes my mind off whatever I'm worried about, but once I'm done eating the issue is still there and then I feel awful that I overate on top of everything else. It's a vicious cycle.
My day one starts tonight!
Who's with me? Do you struggle with late night snacking too? Join the challenge with me!! I am starting a private Facebook Group for us to share privately with each other during the challenge!

Drone Users post Gatwick 2018
Christmas 2018 will be remembered by approximately 140,000 people as the festive season ruined by a drone.
Sightings of a drone over Gatwick Airport prompted its' closure for 3 days
Speculation on who the perpetrators were resulted in confusion and two people were initially arrested but then released and exonerated shortly after.
What is certain though is that the UK and the rest of the world woke up to drones and how they can cause problems if used without training and consideration.
Concerns of copycat disruptions were well founded with similar occurrences at Heathrow Airport and most recently, Newark airport in the USA.
But how will this affect the use of drones in the UK?
Drone pilots wanting to fly for business, to be able to get valuable consideration or financial reward from the use of their drone already have to undergo training and testing to receive a certificate of competence and recommendation. This NQE certificate provides evidence to the CAA that the drone operator is trained and safe to fly commercially.
Once qualified, Operators can apply for their PFCO.
The Air Navigation Order – Updates
The ANO, the rules of the air, were already updated at the end of July 2018 to clarify the operating limitations of drones and to introduce a new separation distance away from airports.
The required separation distance from airports is now much clearer and the ANO states that drones must be "1km away from the boundary of a protected aerodrome or airport". This boundary is clearly marked on charts and maps and for most airports is the boundary fence if unclear.
There is provision within the updates for the mandatory registration of drones over 250g and the training of pilots in safety and etiquette, even for hobbyist use, although this will probably be an online course much more basic than the PFCO course.
This will come into effect in November 2019.
Reaction to Gatwick 2018
Speculation is widespread about what extra restrictions could now be put in place to try and prevent similar disturbances. There has been suggestion that the separation distance be increased to 5km from major airports but this is purely speculation.
Other restrictions may be suggested but one thing is for certain, the qualified, certified drone operator is not the cause of the problem. Most having invested heavily in equipment and training to be able to operate.
What is required is more information at the point of sale of equipment to consumers explaining the rules, risks and requirements of operating a drone safely, even as a hobbyist.
In Summary
If the perpetrator of the Gatwick Drone flights is ever found we may eventually get some answers as to why they held the airport to ransom.
What is clear is that rules and regulations, no matter how restrictive, will struggle to stop troublemakers from exploiting disruptive technology for their own means, at great cost to others.

The Fish Barrier Removal Board (FBRB) is soliciting proposals for grant funding for fish passage projects statewide and in designated priority watersheds. AWC strongly supported creation of the board and has been an active member developing this grant program. It is a key component of our effort to provide funding for cities to address fish blocking culverts.
Please consider whether you have projects that could fit this program, as showing the level of need out there is a critical element to convincing the state to broaden their approach to addressing their own culvert issues and recognize that other barrier owners will need assistance with corrections in order to see successful salmon recovery accomplished.
Funding is intended to leverage fish passage investments that have been made by the Washington Department of Transportation, forest industry, local governments, and other entities by funding barrier corrections near or in coordination with other fish passage investments. Proposals for either planning/design projects or for restoration/construction will be considered.
Visit FBRB for more information about this grant program. Deadline for submittal is January 15, 2020.
Your city may want to review the 2019-2021 work plan from the Washington Department of Transportation to determine whether you have culverts in the same stream systems that WSDOT will be working in to enhance your chances for successful funding and to maximize fish recovery investments.

- Michelle Landry MP
Language program for children in Capricornia
Member for Capricornia, Michelle Landry said local preschools can apply to run the Liberal National Government's play-based program that teaches young Australians a foreign language.
The $27.5 million Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) program has already helped educate 110,000 children about foreign languages, across more than 3,500 preschools.
ELLA is a digital, play-based program that introduces young Australians to languages other than English. It can help teach 13 languages: Arabic, Mandarin, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Modern Greek, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese.
Michelle Landry said learning a second language would give students an educational advantage and broaden their horizons.
"ELLA supports children to explore other languages and cultures, inspiring them to continue learning in years to come," Ms Landry said.
"Our Government is helping prepare students in Capricornia for the future economy where having a second language will be an enormous benefit.
"Preschool educators don't need any language training experience to run the ELLA program because extensive support material, offline games, learning resources, and a responsive helpdesk are all provided.
"I encourage preschool operators in the electorate to apply to run the ELLA program to introduce our children to the joy and challenge of learning a second language."
The Coalition Government has already provided $11.8 million to expand ELLA into 300 schools for grades Prep to Year 2. Visit www.ella.edu.au for more information, including eligibility criteria, device requirements and how to apply.

Seminar on refugees' vulnerability
Still going the training seminars organized by UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund), in collaboration with PHILOS executives and with the participation of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the European Asylum Support Office (EASO), the Hellenic Asylum Service and the Reception and Identification Service.
During 15-17 November, an educational seminar was held in the island of Chios. Issues related to sexual and reproductive health, trafficking, gender violence, as well as the recognition, clinical management and treatment of torture victims and members of vulnerable groups, based on the Greek Medical Protocol that has been established and is already being implemented in the centres of first reception and identification of refugees / immigrants were examined.
A total of twenty-two health professionals (doctors, nurses, social workers, lawyers) from HCDCP, Doctors of the World, PRAKSIS and Chios Hospital were trained.
The event is a follow-up to a similar seminar organized at the beginning of the month in Mytilene, while corresponding seminars will be organized in the islands of Samos and Kos, respectively, in the near future.
